[ominous music]
5
00:01:55,116 --> 00:01:57,201
{\an8}Good afternoon.
My name is Richard DesLauriers,
6
00:01:57,201 --> 00:02:00,204
{\an8}and I am the Special Agent in Charge
of the FBI's Boston division.
7
00:02:00,872 --> 00:02:04,333
Today we are enlisting the public's help
to identify the two suspects.
8
00:02:04,333 --> 00:02:06,419
[ominous music]
9
00:02:11,215 --> 00:02:13,301
{\an8}I didn't know it at the time,
but that press conference
10
00:02:13,301 --> 00:02:15,094
{\an8}we conducted at the Sheraton Hotel
11
00:02:15,094 --> 00:02:17,471
on the evening of Thursday,
April 18th, 2013,
12
00:02:17,471 --> 00:02:20,600
started the most momentous
48 hours of my career.
13
00:02:21,434 --> 00:02:24,562
Somebody out there
knows these individuals as friends,
14
00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:28,316
neighbors, co-workers,
or family members of the suspects.
15
00:02:28,316 --> 00:02:29,650
{\an8}It was very intense.
16
00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:32,236
{\an8}I mean, we're telling people now.
17
00:02:32,236 --> 00:02:34,906
{\an8}We're telling them
about who's been identified.
18
00:02:34,906 --> 00:02:36,657
Presenting them with the pictures.
19
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:38,868
We don't know what's going to happen.
20
00:02:38,868 --> 00:02:40,161
The whole thing was risky.
21
00:02:40,161 --> 00:02:41,537
Are we forcing their hand?
22
00:02:41,537 --> 00:02:43,080
Are we making them do something?
23
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
{\an8}Now we're not having
the ability to creep up on them.
24
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,421
Here they are. The FBI is referring
to them as Suspect 1 and Suspect 2.
25
00:02:50,421 --> 00:02:52,673
[news anchor 1]
The FBI has set up a special tip line
26
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,717
and a website dedicated to this case.
27
00:02:54,717 --> 00:02:58,554
{\an8}The website got
like 40 million hits instantaneously.
28
00:02:58,554 --> 00:03:01,557
[news anchor 2] Suspects are considered
to be armed and extremely dangerous.
29
00:03:01,557 --> 00:03:03,559
[news anchor 3]
The revelation of the two suspects
30
00:03:03,559 --> 00:03:05,686
gives the investigation
a new sense of urgency.
31
00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:09,398
[woman] Do you think they'll be recognized
from these images that have been released?
32
00:03:09,398 --> 00:03:10,524
Of course.
33
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,735
I think they'll definitely catch 'em.
34
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:15,947
They're doing their job.
You know, it's gonna take time.
35
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,282
Yeah, guess what?
36
00:03:18,282 --> 00:03:20,409
Richard DesLauriers
is gonna take 'em down.
37
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:24,163
[man] I was relieved that the photos
were gonna be put out there,
38
00:03:24,163 --> 00:03:27,083
{\an8}and I strongly believed the community
would see those photographs
39
00:03:27,083 --> 00:03:30,920
{\an8}and say, "That is so-and-so,
and he's over here."
40
00:03:33,923 --> 00:03:36,759
Immediately after that,
we didn't get any calls.
41
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:38,302
We didn't get one.
42
00:03:38,803 --> 00:03:41,138
- I couldn't believe that.
- I went home that night
43
00:03:41,138 --> 00:03:42,556
and I said to my wife,
44
00:03:43,057 --> 00:03:44,850
"We're gonna get a call overnight
45
00:03:45,351 --> 00:03:46,978
that somebody's identified these guys."
46
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:51,524
And then I get a call
that I didn't expect.
47
00:03:51,524 --> 00:03:53,484
[distant police sirens]

00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:57,863

[gunshots]
50
00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:22,054
MIT police. Calls recorded. Officer Sakov.
51
00:04:22,847 --> 00:04:26,934
[man] Hi. We're hearing a lot
of loud noises outside of our window.
52
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:32,064
They don't sound exactly like gunshots.
But they're sharp, quick noises.
53
00:04:32,064 --> 00:04:35,609
There is a police officer that seems to be
within the vicinity in a car,
54
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:37,862
but we're really not sure what's going on.
55
00:04:37,862 --> 00:04:39,530
[Sakov] Okay. Well, we'll check it out.
56
00:04:40,031 --> 00:04:42,033
[suspenseful music swells]
57
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:50,041
[officer] Oh my goodness.
Hurry up! All units, respond.
58
00:04:50,041 --> 00:04:55,588
Officer down. Officer down. All units...
Location. Officer down.
59
00:05:00,926 --> 00:05:02,553
{\an8}[man] The press conference ends,
60
00:05:03,054 --> 00:05:05,139
{\an8}and I'm taking the bus back.
61
00:05:05,139 --> 00:05:08,184
{\an8}Crossing the Mass Avenue Bridge
toward MIT.
62
00:05:10,436 --> 00:05:13,647
{\an8}And as I'm getting to the other side
of the CambridgeSide, I look to my right,
63
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:16,442
{\an8}and I see this sea
of blue lights everywhere.
64
00:05:16,442 --> 00:05:21,405
Cop cars,
patrol cars speeding up Memorial Drive.
65
00:05:22,698 --> 00:05:27,036
I'm among the first on the scene,
and there's a lot of anger.
66
00:05:27,036 --> 00:05:29,455
One cop was visibly in tears.
67
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:33,709
I was talking to law enforcement,
trying to figure out what happened.
68
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:37,254
- [reporter] Have anything to tell us, sir?
- Nope. Nothing at all right now.
69
00:05:38,422 --> 00:05:39,548
[Davis] I got a call.
70
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:42,551
A police officer has been killed
in Cambridge.
71
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:47,181
Cambridge is a different city
in a different jurisdiction.
72
00:05:48,349 --> 00:05:51,852
But the story we got
was that this was a robbery gone wrong.
73
00:05:52,478 --> 00:05:56,357
For a campus police officer to be shot
in the Boston area is extremely rare.
74
00:05:56,357 --> 00:05:58,526
When was the last time
a cop was killed in Cambridge?
75
00:05:58,526 --> 00:06:00,111
It doesn't happen.
76
00:06:00,111 --> 00:06:03,531
It doesn't happen on that campus.
Doesn't happen in that community.
77
00:06:03,531 --> 00:06:05,032
Something's wrong.
78
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:06,951
Something is definitely wrong.
79
00:06:06,951 --> 00:06:09,995
You can clearly see there was a struggle.
80
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:12,873
They were attempting to get his gun.
81
00:06:13,666 --> 00:06:16,001
It was clearly an assassination.
82
00:06:17,378 --> 00:06:20,423
He had a retention holster that made it
impossible for them to get it out.
83
00:06:20,423 --> 00:06:22,174
[police radio squawking]
84
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:24,427
[Foley] Ed Davis is saying to me,
85
00:06:24,427 --> 00:06:26,679
"Do you think
this is Black Hat and White Hat?"
86
00:06:26,679 --> 00:06:29,265
And I'm like,
"It would make sense it would be."
87
00:06:29,849 --> 00:06:34,186
I saw folks with a look of worry,
of fear on their faces.
88
00:06:34,186 --> 00:06:35,146
[sirens wailing]
89
00:06:35,146 --> 00:06:39,024
[Foley] Every minute that goes by,
we risk more lives.
90
00:06:39,024 --> 00:06:43,237
If this is them, what other hell
are they gonna rain down next?
91
00:06:45,197 --> 00:06:46,824
[ominous music]
92
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:54,623
[man] On the evening of April 18th,
93
00:06:55,166 --> 00:06:56,667
I was driving my new car
94
00:06:56,667 --> 00:07:00,004
along the Charles River
on the Cambridge side.
95
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,383
I know there is something happening
in Cambridge because there was a lot
96
00:07:04,383 --> 00:07:06,844
of blue lights and police cars.
97
00:07:06,844 --> 00:07:08,179
Twenty of them.
98
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:11,223
Something serious
must have happened there.
99
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:12,725
[sirens wailing]
100
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,818
[Meng] I came to America
from China in 2009
101
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:25,571
to get a master's degree.
102
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,450
I wanted to learn more
about American culture.
103
00:07:30,910 --> 00:07:33,037
Learn more about the American dream.
104
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:36,081
President Obama, he once said,
105
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:37,291
"Any American
106
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:38,250
if you'll be honest,
107
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:42,671
if you're working hard,
you deserve to have a bright future."
108
00:07:43,422 --> 00:07:46,592
That's what I think.
If you just work hard on yourself,
109
00:07:46,592 --> 00:07:48,427
if you're honest with yourself,
110
00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:50,471
you're gonna have a better life.
111
00:07:51,347 --> 00:07:53,766
I was really fascinated by nice cars.
112
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:57,102
So I bought my first car.
113
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:58,521
It was a Mercedes.
114
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,024
When I was driving the car,
I felt like a badass.
115
00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:02,942
[tires squeal]
116
00:08:02,942 --> 00:08:05,736
I don't want anybody
getting too close to it.
117
00:08:05,736 --> 00:08:07,571
I don't want anybody else to drive it.
118
00:08:07,571 --> 00:08:08,906
It's like a baby to me.
119
00:08:15,746 --> 00:08:17,289
[Meng] I was driving my new car.
120
00:08:17,289 --> 00:08:19,625
I remember I got a text message.
121
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:24,171
I decided to pull over on a street
called Brighton Avenue.
122
00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:29,051
I was focused on the phone
for one or two minutes.
123
00:08:30,219 --> 00:08:32,721
Then I saw a car pull over
right behind me.
124
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:36,392
It felt a little bit weird.
125
00:08:36,392 --> 00:08:38,477
[ominous music]
126
00:08:43,357 --> 00:08:46,652
I thought, maybe it's someone trying
to ask for directions.
127
00:08:48,112 --> 00:08:50,447
And then they knocked
on my passenger side.
128
00:08:50,948 --> 00:08:56,036
So I lower down the window a little bit,
just maybe this much space.
129
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,831
Then he wants me
to lower a little bit more.
130
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:07,214
Very fast. I didn't have time to response.
131
00:09:07,715 --> 00:09:10,342
And I was like,
"What the heck is happening?"
132
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:12,595
And he pointed a gun at me.
133
00:09:13,512 --> 00:09:14,722
My body was shaking.
134
00:09:14,722 --> 00:09:15,639
I was like,
135
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:17,808
"I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
136
00:09:17,808 --> 00:09:19,935
"Just please don't kill me."
137
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:23,897
He told me he can kill me
anytime he wants to.
138
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:25,232
"Just start driving."
139
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:33,365
And the car behind me
was following us the whole way.
140
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:36,493
[ominous music]
141
00:09:45,544 --> 00:09:47,838
[Meng] I realize
we were driving to Watertown.
142
00:09:54,261 --> 00:09:55,929
We pull over to a house...
143
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:56,930
in Watertown.
144
00:09:57,806 --> 00:10:01,101
And the older one,
he wants me to sit on the passenger side.
145
00:10:02,144 --> 00:10:03,729
They both get out of the car.
146
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:06,857
I was thinking, maybe it's my time to run,
147
00:10:06,857 --> 00:10:09,985
but they took out the key
and locked the door.
148
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:16,158
And then they moved some stuff
from the other sedan to my car.
149
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:19,662
A couple of boxes, I think.
150
00:10:22,206 --> 00:10:25,000
They get back in the car,
and now it's three of us.
151
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,835
The older one is driving.
152
00:10:27,461 --> 00:10:29,838
Then they just left their car behind us.
153
00:10:30,923 --> 00:10:32,716
I didn't know their relationship.
154
00:10:33,217 --> 00:10:36,553
One of them was much younger
and looked like a student,
155
00:10:36,553 --> 00:10:39,390
but they seemed pretty American to me.
156
00:10:41,725 --> 00:10:44,978
The older one asked me,
do I know who he is?
157
00:10:45,771 --> 00:10:47,356
I said, "I don't know who you are."
158
00:10:47,356 --> 00:10:50,067
He said,
"I did the Boston Marathon bombing."
159
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:53,529
"And we just killed
a policeman in Cambridge."
160
00:10:53,529 --> 00:10:55,155
[ominous music]
161
00:10:59,952 --> 00:11:01,328
Oh shit. Like...
162
00:11:03,038 --> 00:11:04,790
How could it be possible?
163
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:06,291
Like, why me?
164
00:11:06,792 --> 00:11:09,712
- [helicopter propellers beating]
- [police sirens blaring]
165
00:11:11,797 --> 00:11:15,092
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology
police officer was shot at.
166
00:11:15,092 --> 00:11:17,261
He suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
167
00:11:17,261 --> 00:11:19,304
He was taken to hospital, and he died.
168
00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:24,351
I was told that they shot
six times into the vehicle,
169
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:27,062
one which pierced this officer's brain.
170
00:11:27,062 --> 00:11:28,772
When I arrived at the command post,
171
00:11:28,772 --> 00:11:31,442
I had learned about the murder
of Officer Sean Collier at MIT,
172
00:11:31,442 --> 00:11:33,277
which was just absolutely tragic news.
173
00:11:33,277 --> 00:11:36,572
Anytime somebody in law enforcement
gets killed, it's devastating.
174
00:11:36,572 --> 00:11:38,657
{\an8}And to assassinate poor Sean
175
00:11:38,657 --> 00:11:42,161
{\an8}while he was sitting in his car
doing a thankless job?
176
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:44,496
He didn't deserve that.
177
00:11:44,496 --> 00:11:46,582
- [police sirens wailing]
- [indistinct radio chatter]
178
00:11:46,582 --> 00:11:51,336
I felt a combination of anger
and urgency to run these guys down.
179
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:54,381
These guys had beat us.
They got through our lines of defense.
180
00:11:56,633 --> 00:11:59,178
[Martin] After those photos
were released to the public,
181
00:11:59,178 --> 00:12:01,430
it was clear that they were flushed out.
182
00:12:01,430 --> 00:12:02,639
That they were known.
183
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:05,851
And they seemed to be in a mood of,
"We have nothing to lose."
184
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:09,938
[interviewer] Do you ever reflect
if you hadn't released the photos,
185
00:12:09,938 --> 00:12:12,065
Sean Collier would still be alive today?
186
00:12:14,276 --> 00:12:17,654
Well, I mean, to be quite honest with you,
they needed another gun.
187
00:12:17,654 --> 00:12:18,947
That's what they were gonna do.
188
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:21,617
They were gonna do that whether
it was Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
189
00:12:21,617 --> 00:12:24,119
I thought then and I think today
190
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:28,457
that there was no downside to releasing
those photographs immediately.
191
00:12:28,457 --> 00:12:30,375
Right to that corner over there...
192
00:12:32,169 --> 00:12:36,215
Given what happened,
I know it's Monday morning quarterbacking,
193
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,009
but it is a legitimate question.
194
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:41,762
Was this the right approach?
195
00:12:43,222 --> 00:12:44,807
[Davis] We had a responsibility,
196
00:12:44,807 --> 00:12:47,059
so that the public
could protect themselves.
197
00:12:47,059 --> 00:12:48,519
This is an aberration.
198
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:52,356
This incident goes to show
that no matter what you have in place,
199
00:12:52,356 --> 00:12:57,402
no matter how hard you try to prevent it,
you're not gonna prevent everything.
200
00:12:58,278 --> 00:12:59,863
And I think that's what happened here.
201
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:01,114
[dog barking]
202
00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:03,617
[ominous music]
203
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:10,415
[Meng] In the car,
204
00:13:11,667 --> 00:13:14,670
they are speaking another language
that I don't really understand.
205
00:13:21,468 --> 00:13:23,053
We stop at a bank.
206
00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:27,891
The younger one gets out of the car.
207
00:13:29,101 --> 00:13:31,520
They use my debit card to get some cash.
208
00:13:35,691 --> 00:13:38,026
When we were in the car,
I actually remember asking him,
209
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:40,070
"Are you gonna kill me tonight?"
210
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:43,866
That's when he said,
"No, we're not gonna kill you."
211
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:46,285
"We're just gonna drop you off
at someplace
212
00:13:47,286 --> 00:13:49,454
far away where nobody can find you."
213
00:13:50,622 --> 00:13:53,250
Should I believe those two murderers?
214
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:55,711
Why would they let you go?
215
00:13:55,711 --> 00:13:59,423
They don't care
about other people's lives.
216
00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:03,218
They'll probably kill me
on the side of a highway.
217
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:07,764
My family, my parents, my friends,
218
00:14:08,473 --> 00:14:11,435
I didn't have a chance
to say goodbye to them.
219
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:18,275
They asked me, "Can your car
go out of state? Like, New York?"
220
00:14:18,275 --> 00:14:20,736
I said, "Yeah, of course." You know?
221
00:14:20,736 --> 00:14:24,615
Then I realized, they're probably trying
to go to New York to do another bombing.
222
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,575
[car horn honking]
223
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:34,958
I know that if we are on a highway,
they probably won't stop until New York.
224
00:14:34,958 --> 00:14:38,086
I told him
that I only have a quarter of a tank left,
225
00:14:38,086 --> 00:14:40,714
so let's get a full gas tank.
226
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:43,300
They were driving,
looking for a gas station
227
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,551
that was still open,
228
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:45,636
but everything was closed.
229
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:51,808
Ten minutes later, we stopped
at a gas station in Cambridge.
230
00:14:52,476 --> 00:14:54,478
[foreboding music]
231
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,449
[Meng]
The younger one gets out of the car.
232
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,125
The older one put his gun
233
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:20,462
in the pocket of the door.
234
00:15:20,462 --> 00:15:24,341
If I want to run away,
if I want to escape from this,
235
00:15:24,341 --> 00:15:26,635
it's probably my last opportunity.
236
00:15:28,387 --> 00:15:30,931
It's the most important decision
of my life.
237
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:38,271
And then I just tell myself,
"Fuck it. I'll do it."
238
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:39,189
Then...
239
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,236
Fortunately, you know,
I was able to unlock the seatbelt,
240
00:15:45,112 --> 00:15:47,197
unlock the car, and then pull the handle.
241
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:51,618
I could feel like he was trying
to grab me with his right hand.
242
00:15:51,618 --> 00:15:56,164
But it felt really, really close.
243
00:15:56,832 --> 00:15:59,501
Like, this close.
244
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:04,006
[suspenseful music]
245
00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:06,216
I run across the street
246
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:09,886
to another gas station that's still open.
247
00:16:11,054 --> 00:16:13,181
[suspenseful music continuous]
248
00:16:13,181 --> 00:16:15,017
[no audio]
249
00:16:24,026 --> 00:16:27,029
[911 operator]
911, recorded line. What's your emergency?
250
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:30,073
[man] Yes, I am in a Mobile gas station.
251
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:33,118
816 Memorial Drive.
252
00:16:33,118 --> 00:16:35,746
There is one customer who came inside now,
253
00:16:35,746 --> 00:16:39,499
and he told me
someone wanted to shoot him,
254
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:41,752
and he stay inside, and he won't leave.
255
00:16:41,752 --> 00:16:43,253
[911 operator] Can I speak with him?
256
00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:48,133
[Meng] They are the suspects
of the marathon explosion.
257
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,802
Help me, please. They have guns.
258
00:16:50,802 --> 00:16:52,220
[911 operator] Where are they?
259
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:56,016
[Meng] They are in a Shell gas station
on Memorial Drive.
260
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:01,063
[911 operator]
They're in front of the gas station?
261
00:17:01,063 --> 00:17:03,231
[Meng] Yes. I just ran. I just got to run.
262
00:17:03,899 --> 00:17:06,526
- Can you please come?
- [911 operator] They're on their way.
263
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:08,695
Take a deep breath and stay where you are.
264
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:11,656
- I'm gonna stay on the phone with you.
- [Meng] Okay. Okay.
265
00:17:18,288 --> 00:17:21,958
Yeah, I can feel my voice is shaking.
266
00:17:21,958 --> 00:17:25,295
And I cannot even speak.
267
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:28,924
It felt like the longest two hours
of my life.
268
00:17:30,217 --> 00:17:33,136
I still feel terrible
every time I think about it.
269
00:17:33,136 --> 00:17:37,933
That's, like, the most difficult decision
I have ever made.
270
00:17:41,812 --> 00:17:43,563
As life goes on, you know,
271
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:46,399
what I'm trying to do is just not...
272
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:49,778
focus on that.
273
00:17:49,778 --> 00:17:55,200
You know, I just appreciate
that I'm still alive.
274
00:17:55,951 --> 00:17:58,787
- [police sirens wailing]
- [helicopter propellers beating]
275
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:02,541
[Davis] We were flooding MIT
276
00:18:02,541 --> 00:18:05,502
with police,
looking for anything suspicious.
277
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:10,382
{\an8}All of a sudden we get a call
from the gas station on Memorial Drive.
278
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:14,344
There was a guy there
saying he was kidnapped,
279
00:18:14,344 --> 00:18:15,887
and it was the bombers.
280
00:18:16,638 --> 00:18:18,765
I told them that my car
281
00:18:19,975 --> 00:18:21,643
had a tracking system.
282
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:27,107
He says to the police officer,
"The GPS number is 1234567."
283
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:29,985
And the officer said,
"How do you know that?"
284
00:18:29,985 --> 00:18:33,155
You get excited with your first car.
You remember everything.
285
00:18:33,155 --> 00:18:37,868
So he literally had the GPS transmitter
number off the top of his head.
286
00:18:37,868 --> 00:18:41,413
I really wanted them to catch
those guys as soon as possible.
287
00:18:41,413 --> 00:18:43,415
The officer called that in,
288
00:18:43,915 --> 00:18:46,126
and they tracked
the car almost immediately
289
00:18:46,126 --> 00:18:47,502
to Watertown.
290
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:50,797
[operator] Watertown Control to all cars.
291
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:55,719
Cambridge is looking for a one,
three, seven, November, Zulu, one.
292
00:18:55,719 --> 00:18:58,763
That's a 2013 Mercedes. Color black.
293
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:02,559
The vehicle was taken
from 816 Memorial Drive
294
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:05,103
in Cambridge during a carjacking.
295
00:19:05,687 --> 00:19:09,858
Occupied by two Middle Eastern males.
One described as 5' 7".
296
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:12,652
The second described as light-skinned.
297
00:19:13,153 --> 00:19:15,155
[foreboding music]
298
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,706
[MacLellan]
I did 30 years as a police officer
299
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:26,041
in the town of Watertown.
300
00:19:30,045 --> 00:19:32,464
It is a touching town of Boston,
301
00:19:32,464 --> 00:19:35,842
and we are a very small town
with four square miles,
302
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:37,552
but it is densely packed
303
00:19:37,552 --> 00:19:42,015
with over 40,000 people
living in the town, in four square miles.
304
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:44,935
It's very tight-knit.
305
00:19:44,935 --> 00:19:47,854
A lot of families, a lot of young kids.
306
00:19:50,565 --> 00:19:52,692
It is a very, very safe place.
307
00:19:53,193 --> 00:19:55,695
I can't even say I even came close
308
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:59,616
to pulling the trigger until that night.
309
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:03,578
- [indistinct radio chatter]
- [sirens blaring]
310
00:20:03,578 --> 00:20:05,330
[officer] Shot fired! Shot fired!
311
00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:07,207
[panicked radio chatter]
312
00:20:07,207 --> 00:20:09,084
[officer shouting indistinctly]
313
00:20:09,084 --> 00:20:10,919
[shouting continues over radio static]
314
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:14,881
[ominous music]
315
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:19,636
[MacLellan] PTSD is a real thing.
316
00:20:19,636 --> 00:20:21,513
It'll eat you up and kill you.
317
00:20:25,225 --> 00:20:27,852
It's like a different life.
It's a different life.
318
00:20:27,852 --> 00:20:30,480
[indistinct police radio chatter]
319
00:20:33,817 --> 00:20:36,653
[Pugliese] In 2013, I was a sergeant.
320
00:20:37,362 --> 00:20:40,198
And I had been
in that position for 20 years.
321
00:20:44,494 --> 00:20:45,912
I came to the police station,
322
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:48,331
and I have my police radio on.
323
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:54,379
I heard about Sean Collier,
the MIT police officer, being murdered.
324
00:20:56,131 --> 00:20:58,049
I thought, "Oh my God, it's horrific."
325
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:01,094
So, I went out to my car.
326
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:02,971
I lit up a cigarillo,
327
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:05,473
and I'm listening to the police radio.
328
00:21:06,057 --> 00:21:07,767
[operator]
We got a call from Cambridge P.D.
329
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:10,395
They just pinged
the phone number in the vehicle
330
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:11,938
in question on the carjacking.
331
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:13,940
It's in the area of Dexter Ave.
332
00:21:13,940 --> 00:21:15,817
A 2013 Mercedes.
333
00:21:17,569 --> 00:21:19,112
A Cambridge police officer
334
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:22,991
called our officer in charge directly
335
00:21:22,991 --> 00:21:25,910
and said,
"Hey, listen, just to let you know,
336
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:27,871
we have a stolen car in Cambridge."
337
00:21:27,871 --> 00:21:34,169
"We're tracking it, and it's in Watertown
right now at 93 Dexter Ave."
338
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:37,464
[officer 1] Okay, could you give me
the plate number again, please,
339
00:21:37,464 --> 00:21:39,257
and the description of the vehicle?
340
00:21:39,257 --> 00:21:41,593
[operator] Black 2013 Mercedes.
341
00:21:41,593 --> 00:21:44,429
[Pugliese]
It was Officer Joe Reynolds' patrol area,
342
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:46,473
and he says, "I'll check that out."
343
00:21:46,473 --> 00:21:48,558
[officer 1]
The car is on the move right now.
344
00:21:48,558 --> 00:21:52,270
It's a carjacking, is how it came out.
And they said they may be armed.
345
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:56,191
I'm thinking, well, if they get there,
there's gonna be two things happening.
346
00:21:56,191 --> 00:21:58,651
It's gonna be a car chase
or a foot pursuit.
347
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:02,197
We only know
that it's a vehicle taken at gunpoint.
348
00:22:02,781 --> 00:22:07,160
I'm thinkin' it's a couple of kids.
You know, we're gonna pull this car over.
349
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:10,038
They're gonna give up,
or get out of the car and run.
350
00:22:10,038 --> 00:22:12,916
If they take off out of the car
and they're chasing 'em on foot,
351
00:22:12,916 --> 00:22:14,292
I'll be an extra set of eyes.
352
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:15,668
So, I started driving.
353
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:18,296
I left the police station,
and I started heading in that direction.
354
00:22:18,296 --> 00:22:20,965
[officer 2]
Okay, roger. Still here on Laurel.
355
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:22,717
Just took a left on Laurel.
356
00:22:22,717 --> 00:22:25,428
[Pugliese] Joe Reynolds got there,
and they passed each other.
357
00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:27,722
Then they slow down
to about two miles an hour.
358
00:22:27,722 --> 00:22:29,724
They actually made eye contact.
359
00:22:32,352 --> 00:22:34,938
We found out that the suspects
were driving two different vehicles.
360
00:22:34,938 --> 00:22:38,817
It was their vehicle in front
and then the black SUV behind it.
361
00:22:38,817 --> 00:22:41,653
[officer 2] Right next to it now.
You want me to stop it?
362
00:22:42,946 --> 00:22:45,490
And I get on the radio, I said,
"Joey don't stop that vehicle."
363
00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:48,159
"Let me catch up to you."
He said, "Roger, Sarge."
364
00:22:48,952 --> 00:22:50,995
[officer 1] I'm right behind that vehicle.
365
00:22:51,496 --> 00:22:52,539
Light him up.
366
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:57,877
[ominous music]
367
00:22:59,254 --> 00:23:01,047
Officer Reynolds
was following behind them.
368
00:23:01,047 --> 00:23:02,632
They weren't going fast.
369
00:23:02,632 --> 00:23:06,636
And that's when the black SUV stopped.
370
00:23:09,013 --> 00:23:12,725
And when I took a left
onto Laurel Street, it was mayhem.
371
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,811
[ominous music continues]
372
00:23:19,274 --> 00:23:21,192
- [sirens wailing]
- [gunshots]
373
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:25,905
[gunfire continuous]
374
00:23:30,368 --> 00:23:33,204
Suspect in the middle of the street,
just firing in it.
375
00:23:33,204 --> 00:23:35,623
I'm throwing my car into park.
376
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:38,126
And boom, glass in my face.
377
00:23:39,002 --> 00:23:40,962
[officer 3]
Shots fired. All units respond.
378
00:23:41,463 --> 00:23:44,757
[officer 4] All units. We have shots fired
on the vehicle in question from Cambridge.
379
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:46,509
Last seen near the area of Dexter Ave.
380
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:49,345
[officer 5] Shots fired in Watertown.
381
00:23:49,345 --> 00:23:52,599
When he said, "They're shooting at me,"
my thought was, "I gotta help."
382
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:56,394
I went from doing 30 miles an hour
to doing 80 miles an hour.
383
00:23:56,394 --> 00:23:58,188
[officer 1] Shots fired! Shots fired!
384
00:23:58,188 --> 00:23:59,355
[officer 2] Shots fired.
385
00:23:59,355 --> 00:24:00,732
[gunfire]
386
00:24:00,732 --> 00:24:02,650
I said, "I gotta do something."
387
00:24:02,650 --> 00:24:04,611
I said,
"I'm gonna jump up into this vehicle."
388
00:24:05,695 --> 00:24:09,157
"I'm gonna throw it in drive,
and I'm just gonna send it towards them."
389
00:24:09,657 --> 00:24:10,909
At least this way,
390
00:24:11,409 --> 00:24:13,745
I can see how many people
are gonna be shooting at us.
391
00:24:13,745 --> 00:24:16,372
See what we got,
so I can give it to the incoming units.
392
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:17,332
[gunfire continuous]
393
00:24:17,332 --> 00:24:20,126
Reynolds says, "Sarge, who's driving 468?"
394
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,922
My car was going down towards them.
He didn't know no one was in it.
395
00:24:23,922 --> 00:24:26,382
I was just... You know,
it was just goin' down the street.
396
00:24:26,883 --> 00:24:29,052
That's when I saw them
behind the Mercedes,
397
00:24:29,636 --> 00:24:31,930
I could see him throwin' something.
398
00:24:34,349 --> 00:24:35,767
And I saw it coming through the air,
399
00:24:35,767 --> 00:24:37,894
and it was coming
through the air I'm like,
400
00:24:37,894 --> 00:24:40,522
"This kid's throwin' sticks at us."
401
00:24:41,105 --> 00:24:42,774
And when it hit the ground,
402
00:24:42,774 --> 00:24:43,983
it went ting-ting-ting-ting...
403
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:45,693
And I went... [gasps]
404
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:48,488
[explosion]
405
00:24:48,488 --> 00:24:50,657
[ominous music]
406
00:25:02,877 --> 00:25:03,962
[police radio squawking]
407
00:25:03,962 --> 00:25:06,464
[MacLellan]
Loud explosion! Loud explosion!
408
00:25:06,464 --> 00:25:07,924
Loud explosion!
409
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,764
What? What a friggin' week this has been.
410
00:25:14,764 --> 00:25:16,474
First, the marathon bombing.
411
00:25:16,474 --> 00:25:19,185
An MIT police officer gets murdered.
412
00:25:19,185 --> 00:25:21,437
You know,
what else can go wrong this week?
413
00:25:22,313 --> 00:25:25,108
[Martin] At that point,
while I'm standing there at MIT,
414
00:25:25,108 --> 00:25:29,028
there was suddenly this commotion
that was going on.
415
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:32,574
{\an8}And police are listening
to their car radio.
416
00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:36,828
{\an8}We hear on the radio,
you know, "Shots fired. Shots fired."
417
00:25:36,828 --> 00:25:38,746
[officer 1] Shots fired! Shots fired!
418
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:42,250
[officer 2] Units respond to the scene.
We need assistance immediately!
419
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:44,294
[officer 3]
Watertown, Newtown has 8 comin' at you.
420
00:25:44,294 --> 00:25:45,878
[officer 4] Eight en route with K9.
421
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:49,007
[officer 5] Cambridge to Watertown,
we also have three units responding.
422
00:25:49,007 --> 00:25:50,508
My mind immediately went to,
423
00:25:50,508 --> 00:25:52,885
"This is all related.
This has gotta be them."
424
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:57,807
I remember immediately hitting lights
and sirens and just flying
425
00:25:57,807 --> 00:25:58,850
to Watertown.
426
00:25:58,850 --> 00:26:00,310
[sirens wailing]
427
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:03,354
{\an8}I just headed towards Watertown,
428
00:26:03,354 --> 00:26:07,108
{\an8}and there was a cavalry
of police vehicles heading that way.
429
00:26:07,108 --> 00:26:10,486
And I just jumped in it
and followed the crowd out there.
430
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:13,323
And I don't know what's going on,
but I decided to rush with them.
431
00:26:13,323 --> 00:26:14,532
Whatever was happening,
432
00:26:14,532 --> 00:26:17,619
it seemed to be connected to something
much larger than what's going on.
433
00:26:17,619 --> 00:26:20,455
'Cause they're leaving
the scene of a murdered cop.
434
00:26:20,455 --> 00:26:23,833
[officer] We have him pinned down.
He's throwing explosives at us.
435
00:26:24,334 --> 00:26:27,128
{\an8}Overnight, Chief of Department called.
436
00:26:27,754 --> 00:26:28,588
{\an8}And he said,
437
00:26:28,588 --> 00:26:31,549
{\an8}"Commissioner, they're throwing bombs
at us and shooting."
438
00:26:31,549 --> 00:26:33,051
And I said, "Who's throwing bombs?"
439
00:26:33,051 --> 00:26:35,303
He said, "We got these guys,
we're chasing 'em down."
440
00:26:35,303 --> 00:26:38,806
The phone rang, and I answered it,
and it was one of my assistants,
441
00:26:38,806 --> 00:26:42,185
{\an8}and he had told me,
"Our suspects are on the run right now,
442
00:26:42,185 --> 00:26:45,104
{\an8}and they're hurling more bombs
at Watertown police officers
443
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:46,898
{\an8}in Watertown, Massachusetts."
444
00:26:46,898 --> 00:26:48,941
{\an8}And as soon as I heard that,
I said, "Holy shit."
445
00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:53,071
[sirens wailing]
446
00:26:53,071 --> 00:26:54,864
[officer 1]
Can I get that location, please?
447
00:26:54,864 --> 00:26:56,991
[officer 2]
Dexter and Laurel. Dexter and Laurel.
448
00:26:56,991 --> 00:26:58,618
[gunfire]
449
00:27:01,412 --> 00:27:03,414
[MacLellan]
When you hear those cruisers pullin' up,
450
00:27:03,414 --> 00:27:04,957
it's like it's the best...
451
00:27:04,957 --> 00:27:06,459
It's the best feeling in the world,
452
00:27:06,459 --> 00:27:12,006
because you know we got more ammo coming,
we got more guns on these guys.
453
00:27:12,006 --> 00:27:14,801
[man 1] Fucking shooting,
right in front of my house.
454
00:27:16,052 --> 00:27:17,011
[man 2] Get outta here.
455
00:27:17,011 --> 00:27:19,806
[man 3] Hey, everybody stop.
Look out. Go the other way.
456
00:27:19,806 --> 00:27:21,182
[man 4] Go the other way.
457
00:27:21,182 --> 00:27:22,600
[gunshots]
458
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,352
[man 5] Getting serious, man.
459
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:26,187
[gunfire continuous]
460
00:27:27,438 --> 00:27:30,358
Bombs goin' off.
There's cops shooting everywhere.
461
00:27:30,358 --> 00:27:32,819
It was an absolute war zone.
462
00:27:32,819 --> 00:27:35,947
We did have residents comin' out,
and that's what scared me.
463
00:27:35,947 --> 00:27:38,116
[operator] Line's recorded.
What is your emergency?
464
00:27:38,116 --> 00:27:39,492
[woman 1] I'm in Watertown.
465
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:41,786
I'm hearing what sounds like gunshots,
and I heard...
466
00:27:41,786 --> 00:27:43,871
[operator]
We're aware of the situation. Thank you.
467
00:27:43,871 --> 00:27:46,207
911, this line is recorded.
What's your emergency?
468
00:27:46,207 --> 00:27:47,834
[woman 2] Somebody's shootin' a gun...
469
00:27:47,834 --> 00:27:49,544
[operator] 911, this line is recorded.
470
00:27:49,544 --> 00:27:52,338
[woman 3] Hi. I just heard a huge bang.
471
00:27:52,338 --> 00:27:54,382
[operator]
Ma'am, we're aware of it. Thank you.
472
00:27:55,258 --> 00:28:00,513
At least one of the residents,
he came out three times,
473
00:28:01,139 --> 00:28:03,641
opened his door and said,
"You need any help? You need any help?"
474
00:28:03,641 --> 00:28:06,644
And I kept telling him,
"Get back in the house!"
475
00:28:06,644 --> 00:28:10,189
"Unless you have any 40 cal ammo,
get back in there."
476
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:11,190
[gunshots]
477
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:13,901
I pulled up and I start
just around the corner from Laurel Street.
478
00:28:15,153 --> 00:28:16,821
Put on my bulletproof vest.
479
00:28:18,948 --> 00:28:20,658
And as I'm walking around the corner,
480
00:28:20,658 --> 00:28:23,995
I see Officer Reynolds
and Sergeant MacLellan.
481
00:28:23,995 --> 00:28:28,833
He was behind a tree returning gunfire,
and he was giving them commands.
482
00:28:28,833 --> 00:28:30,626
[MacLellan] Give it up! Give it up!
483
00:28:30,626 --> 00:28:33,421
"Give it up. Give it up."
You know, trying to get them to surrender.
484
00:28:33,421 --> 00:28:35,798
- [gunshots]
- And they just continued to fire.
485
00:28:36,841 --> 00:28:40,845
What we thought at the time
was two guns, muzzle flashes.
486
00:28:41,345 --> 00:28:44,557
And ultimately, we found out
that they had one handgun,
487
00:28:44,557 --> 00:28:47,018
and the second muzzle flash that we saw,
488
00:28:47,518 --> 00:28:49,520
one of them was lighting the pipe bombs.
489
00:28:51,355 --> 00:28:53,065
That was our second muzzle flash.
490
00:28:53,691 --> 00:28:55,610
[gunfire]
491
00:28:59,572 --> 00:29:01,073
The last bomb that was thrown,
492
00:29:01,824 --> 00:29:05,828
I saw him get out of the vehicle,
holding something with two handles,
493
00:29:06,329 --> 00:29:08,039
and I saw him go...
494
00:29:12,627 --> 00:29:14,295
[explosion]
495
00:29:14,295 --> 00:29:15,505
[man 5] God!
496
00:29:15,505 --> 00:29:16,839
[car alarms blaring]
497
00:29:18,007 --> 00:29:20,301
You could feel the percussion,
but all's I can remember
498
00:29:20,301 --> 00:29:22,929
was like someone putting
a white screen in front of your face.
499
00:29:25,515 --> 00:29:29,018
Gray black smoke, and then you felt
stuff raining down on you.
500
00:29:29,018 --> 00:29:30,561
It was all the shrap metal.
501
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:32,313
It was a pressure cooker.
502
00:29:32,313 --> 00:29:34,607
One of the clips unclipped,
503
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:38,402
and it didn't come up
to as much pressure as it should have.
504
00:29:38,402 --> 00:29:42,073
So if he had placed it
instead of throwin' it,
505
00:29:42,073 --> 00:29:43,282
we would've been...
506
00:29:43,783 --> 00:29:46,327
We all would've been hurt.
We were in the blast zone.
507
00:29:46,327 --> 00:29:47,537
[explosion]
508
00:29:48,037 --> 00:29:49,413
[Pugliese] It was a standoff.
509
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:53,167
So, I decided that what I was going to do
was cut through some backyards
510
00:29:53,167 --> 00:29:55,336
and come up on their side. Flank them.
511
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:58,297
I went up a driveway, over a fence,
512
00:29:59,048 --> 00:30:01,384
through that backyard, over another fence.
513
00:30:01,384 --> 00:30:03,678
Went along the house fence line.
514
00:30:04,679 --> 00:30:07,765
That's when I saw them.
And they were taking cover there.
515
00:30:08,266 --> 00:30:10,893
But I was a firearms instructor
for the department,
516
00:30:10,893 --> 00:30:12,645
so I usually hit my target.
517
00:30:12,645 --> 00:30:15,356
- I took aim. I squeezed off a round.
- [gunshot]
518
00:30:15,356 --> 00:30:19,944
{\an8}I know I hit the guy.
No reaction, so I try again. Bang.
519
00:30:20,611 --> 00:30:23,114
I know I hit him, and there's no reaction.
520
00:30:23,114 --> 00:30:26,033
I shot him nine times.
It wasn't all torso shots.
521
00:30:26,033 --> 00:30:28,536
I got him in the feet.
He just wouldn't go down.
522
00:30:29,036 --> 00:30:31,831
That's when he knew I was there,
and he came running out.
523
00:30:32,331 --> 00:30:36,752
He and I were facing each other
about six feet apart, exchanging gunfire.
524
00:30:36,752 --> 00:30:38,796
[gunshots]
525
00:30:40,756 --> 00:30:44,927
Fortunately, they just went all around me.
It was like a Pulp Fiction moment.
526
00:30:44,927 --> 00:30:47,847
Die, you motherfuckers, die!
527
00:30:47,847 --> 00:30:49,223
[gun clicking empty]
528
00:30:57,064 --> 00:30:59,525
His gun stopped working.
529
00:30:59,525 --> 00:31:02,153
I didn't know if it jammed
or ran out of ammunition.
530
00:31:02,153 --> 00:31:05,740
He was almost like in disbelief
that he couldn't shoot his gun anymore.
531
00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:08,868
And he stopped,
he looked at his gun, looked at me.
532
00:31:08,868 --> 00:31:12,830
We made eye contact, and he threw the gun,
hit me on the shoulder.
533
00:31:12,830 --> 00:31:13,915
It dropped to the ground.
534
00:31:13,915 --> 00:31:17,126
And he turns towards us,
all the guys shootin' at him,
535
00:31:17,126 --> 00:31:19,503
and just starts chargin' at us.
536
00:31:19,503 --> 00:31:23,674
My slide's back. I have no bullets
in my gun, but he doesn't know that.
537
00:31:23,674 --> 00:31:26,469
The slide's back and I said,
"I'm gonna kill you. Get on the ground."
538
00:31:26,469 --> 00:31:27,762
"I'm gonna kill you."
539
00:31:27,762 --> 00:31:29,764
And he just keeps... Dead eyes.
540
00:31:29,764 --> 00:31:32,850
Just keeps looking at me
and just walkin' right towards me.
541
00:31:32,850 --> 00:31:35,561
[Pugliese] So I holstered up
and chased after him, and I tackled him.
542
00:31:36,145 --> 00:31:37,772
[MacLellan] The kid just collapses.
543
00:31:38,439 --> 00:31:40,608
And he's violently resisting us.
544
00:31:41,108 --> 00:31:42,902
Just running on pure adrenaline.
545
00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:47,365
I had an empty gun.
No bullets in it, but I had a gun.
546
00:31:47,949 --> 00:31:49,742
So I said, "I'm gonna knock him out."
547
00:31:49,742 --> 00:31:52,703
I tried as hard as I could
to knock that kid out.
548
00:31:53,287 --> 00:31:57,249
Sergeant Pugliese got one cuff on him,
and I'm just hittin' him as hard as I can.
549
00:31:57,249 --> 00:32:00,086
I'm tryin' to knock this kid out.
Tryin' to make it easier.
550
00:32:00,670 --> 00:32:02,672
Tryin' to make sure that we don't die.
551
00:32:02,672 --> 00:32:06,384
Officer Reynolds is looking down
the street, and he says,
552
00:32:06,384 --> 00:32:08,970
"Somebody got in the SUV.
They turned around."
553
00:32:11,764 --> 00:32:14,225
[MacLellan]
Coming towards us! Coming towards us!
554
00:32:16,018 --> 00:32:18,813
I looked again,
and the headlights were right in my face.
555
00:32:19,397 --> 00:32:21,565
"Sarge, get off, get off." And I push.
556
00:32:21,565 --> 00:32:26,404
I just let go, and I felt the breeze
of the vehicle go by my face.
557
00:32:27,488 --> 00:32:30,408
I watched the front wheels
go over to the suspect.
558
00:32:30,408 --> 00:32:33,786
He bounced up between the undercarriage
and the pavement three or four times,
559
00:32:33,786 --> 00:32:36,372
and he got dragged about 20, 25 feet.
560
00:32:36,372 --> 00:32:37,873
And it was like whack-a-mole.
561
00:32:37,873 --> 00:32:40,418
I mean, the car was going
probably 40 miles an hour,
562
00:32:40,418 --> 00:32:42,795
and it was just so violent.
563
00:32:43,379 --> 00:32:45,214
[officer] Suspect just took off in an SUV!
564
00:32:45,214 --> 00:32:47,466
He ran over his partner!
565
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:50,761
The car spit the body
right out from under the car.
566
00:32:51,554 --> 00:32:53,764
The vehicle collided
with one of our police cruisers
567
00:32:53,764 --> 00:32:54,974
that was stopped there.
568
00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:56,684
And you heard an engine racing,
569
00:32:56,684 --> 00:32:59,145
tryin' to break free of the collision.
570
00:32:59,145 --> 00:33:00,646
Then he broke free,
571
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:02,189
sped off through an intersection.
572
00:33:02,189 --> 00:33:05,276
There was a barrage of gunfire
from officers that had arrived on scene.
573
00:33:05,276 --> 00:33:07,653
[gunfire]
574
00:33:15,453 --> 00:33:18,789
[Pugliese] Uh, and he sped
through the intersection, and he was gone.
575
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:21,125
[ominous music]
576
00:33:33,179 --> 00:33:35,473
[police sirens wailing]
577
00:33:38,809 --> 00:33:40,436
[indistinct radio chatter]
578
00:33:41,437 --> 00:33:42,646
Move. Move. Move. Move.
579
00:33:46,275 --> 00:33:47,777
You gotta get outta here.
580
00:33:52,990 --> 00:33:54,658
And I roll up on scene.
581
00:33:54,658 --> 00:33:55,701
It's dark.
582
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:56,869
It's chaotic.
583
00:33:56,869 --> 00:33:58,913
Officers screaming, yelling.
584
00:34:01,415 --> 00:34:04,627
[Martin] When I first arrived,
there were police officers everywhere.
585
00:34:05,127 --> 00:34:08,464
You're hearing that there's a shootout.
Bombs thrown at cops.
586
00:34:08,464 --> 00:34:10,341
It was absolutely surreal.
587
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:15,805
[Foley] All of a sudden,
we see police officers
588
00:34:15,805 --> 00:34:17,223
running down the road.
589
00:34:17,890 --> 00:34:19,100
Now we join them.
590
00:34:20,309 --> 00:34:25,564
We find out that we're chasing down
to where the Mercedes SUV went.
591
00:34:27,191 --> 00:34:31,278
And we come across the SUV in this street.
592
00:34:33,614 --> 00:34:36,242
The door's open. No one's there.
593
00:34:37,118 --> 00:34:39,703
I said to myself, "I can't be doing this."
594
00:34:39,703 --> 00:34:42,623
"I need to organize this
and come up with a plan."
595
00:34:43,499 --> 00:34:48,337
Yeah, it was frustrating that he got away,
but I did think that he would be captured
596
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:49,713
very shortly thereafter.
597
00:34:51,173 --> 00:34:52,508
[distant police sirens]
598
00:34:52,508 --> 00:34:57,680
With many police officers on the scene,
and the suspect had gotten away,
599
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,516
I think this was embarrassing,
uh, to the police.
600
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:05,604
[MacLellan] We need an ambulance
at Laurel and Dexter for the suspect.
601
00:35:05,604 --> 00:35:08,274
Shot and run over, shot and run over.
602
00:35:08,274 --> 00:35:10,484
And the kid was in such bad shape.
603
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:14,572
He was ripped from the armpit
to his waist, was totally open.
604
00:35:14,572 --> 00:35:15,781
Still alive.
605
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:17,158
They cut the clothes off 'im
606
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:18,993
and they put him
in the back of the ambulance,
607
00:35:18,993 --> 00:35:21,412
and started working on him,
and then off they went.
608
00:35:21,412 --> 00:35:24,748
They took him into a Boston hospital,
a major trauma center.
609
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:26,834
[dramatic music]
610
00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:35,259
I get out of the car,
and there was a federal agent there,
611
00:35:35,259 --> 00:35:38,095
and he said, "That's an unexploded
ordnance on the ground."
612
00:35:38,095 --> 00:35:41,348
One of the fuse pipe bombs
was lying on the ground.
613
00:35:42,099 --> 00:35:43,559
There was bullet holes everywhere.
614
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:46,437
Through the stop signs,
into the side of houses.
615
00:35:46,437 --> 00:35:48,522
Discarded handguns in the street.
616
00:35:49,064 --> 00:35:52,860
The thing that struck home with me
was pressure cooker in the side of a car.
617
00:35:52,860 --> 00:35:56,447
You know, exactly the MO
for the Marathon bombers.
618
00:35:57,072 --> 00:35:59,074
I'm like, "Oh my God. These are the guys."
619
00:36:00,409 --> 00:36:04,038
SWAT guy came up to me. He said,
"Hey, Sarge, you know who you got here?"
620
00:36:04,038 --> 00:36:07,124
"You know who you got here?"
And I thought he was asking me, like, who...
621
00:36:07,124 --> 00:36:09,501
I go, "Guys, these aren't Watertown kids."
622
00:36:10,753 --> 00:36:12,254
[Pugliese] Other people are showing up.
623
00:36:12,254 --> 00:36:14,298
They're saying,
"You guys know who you got here?"
624
00:36:14,298 --> 00:36:17,927
I said, "A couple of carjackers."
"No, you got the Boston Marathon bombers."
625
00:36:18,427 --> 00:36:19,345
Get outta here.
626
00:36:19,345 --> 00:36:20,971
"You got the Boston bombers."
627
00:36:20,971 --> 00:36:24,683
"These are the Marathon bombers."
And he goes, "No, it was a stolen car."
628
00:36:25,184 --> 00:36:29,438
The cops involved in the shootout
really didn't realize what they had.
629
00:36:29,438 --> 00:36:32,066
Holy shit. And then I'm thinking, "Bombs"?
630
00:36:32,816 --> 00:36:36,445
"You know, all this ammo. Jeez, I probably
should have picked up on that earlier."
631
00:36:36,445 --> 00:36:39,365
But, you know, I'm not a detective.
I'm a patrolman.
632
00:36:39,365 --> 00:36:40,449
[laughs]
633
00:36:40,449 --> 00:36:44,995
I'm not a cop. I understand
that there are inherent dangers
634
00:36:44,995 --> 00:36:46,247
in a lot of situations...
635
00:36:46,247 --> 00:36:47,248
[gunfire]
636
00:36:47,248 --> 00:36:51,835
...but to just shoot and shoot
210 shots from police alone...
637
00:36:51,835 --> 00:36:53,128
[man 5] This is no bullshit.
638
00:36:53,128 --> 00:36:55,422
[Martin]
...you put innocent lives in danger.
639
00:36:55,422 --> 00:36:56,882
[gunfire]
640
00:36:56,882 --> 00:37:00,928
I interviewed a man
whose child was almost killed.
641
00:37:00,928 --> 00:37:02,846
The baby was sleeping in the room
642
00:37:02,846 --> 00:37:05,891
where a bullet came
within inches of the baby's head.
643
00:37:07,434 --> 00:37:13,232
The fact that civilians in their homes
weren't injured or killed was luck.
644
00:37:13,232 --> 00:37:18,612
What we're looking for is a suspect
consistent with the description
645
00:37:19,113 --> 00:37:21,907
of suspect number two,
the white-capped individual
646
00:37:22,408 --> 00:37:25,911
who was involved in Monday's bombing
of the Boston Marathon.
647
00:37:26,412 --> 00:37:27,830
[reporter 1] Suspect 1 was shot?
648
00:37:27,830 --> 00:37:29,623
- That's correct.
- [reporter 2] Is he alive?
649
00:37:29,623 --> 00:37:32,126
- [reporter 3] Is suspect 1...
- We don't have names at this point.
650
00:37:32,126 --> 00:37:33,210
[reporter 2] Is he alive?
651
00:37:33,210 --> 00:37:36,338
Listen, this is an ongoing...
This is an ongoing investigation.
652
00:37:36,338 --> 00:37:38,590
We can't... We can't get into details
653
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,844
on the, uh... On the descriptions
of the suspects or the names.
654
00:37:41,844 --> 00:37:45,180
{\an8}We're trying to get information out
to the people who live here.
655
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:48,017
{\an8}That they should stay in their homes
and not open their doors
656
00:37:48,017 --> 00:37:49,810
unless police officers are there.
657
00:37:49,810 --> 00:37:51,812
[Davis] We had one suspect in custody.
658
00:37:51,812 --> 00:37:54,231
I was told that he had been taken
from the scene.
659
00:37:54,231 --> 00:37:56,025
- [distant sirens]
- [indistinct radio chatter]
660
00:37:56,025 --> 00:37:58,027
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
661
00:37:59,361 --> 00:38:01,613
So we needed to identify the suspect
662
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,532
to find out who these guys are.
663
00:38:04,033 --> 00:38:07,619
We scrambled to the hospital,
and we rolled his prints.
664
00:38:08,454 --> 00:38:10,789
We know he's one of the bombers.
665
00:38:10,789 --> 00:38:14,168
We're all thinking,
"Hopefully we've got him in the database."
666
00:38:15,336 --> 00:38:17,379
If we can figure out who he was,
667
00:38:17,379 --> 00:38:20,924
then this information could also lead us
to the other suspect.
668
00:38:21,633 --> 00:38:24,845
We ran his fingerprints through numerous
amount of federal databases
669
00:38:24,845 --> 00:38:26,930
to identify this individual.
670
00:38:26,930 --> 00:38:28,682
[intense music]
671
00:38:35,064 --> 00:38:36,315
[Foley] We got a hit.
672
00:38:38,067 --> 00:38:39,818
[DesLauriers]
His name was Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
673
00:38:39,818 --> 00:38:41,111
- Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
- Tamerlan.
674
00:38:41,111 --> 00:38:42,279
Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
675
00:38:43,364 --> 00:38:46,075
Immediately, we began the process
of database checks
676
00:38:46,075 --> 00:38:48,452
to understand who this individual was.
677
00:38:48,452 --> 00:38:51,497
It's a massive information flow.
678
00:38:51,497 --> 00:38:53,957
We learn he's a Chechen national,
679
00:38:53,957 --> 00:38:56,960
been here for a number of years,
right here in Cambridge.
680
00:38:57,461 --> 00:38:59,546
That was a huge break
for the investigation.
681
00:38:59,546 --> 00:39:01,632
[ominous music]
682
00:39:04,802 --> 00:39:06,428
[Davis] I was in the command post.
683
00:39:06,428 --> 00:39:08,764
The door opened up,
and Rick DesLauriers came in.
684
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:12,726
He was upset. He was clearly frazzled.
685
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,438
He said, "We know this guy.
We've looked at him before."
686
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:18,732
I was shocked, and I said,
687
00:39:19,316 --> 00:39:20,442
"How do you know him?"
688
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:23,195
He said, "We received a report
from the FSB,
689
00:39:23,195 --> 00:39:27,366
the Russian intelligence service,
that this guy is a terrorist."
690
00:39:27,366 --> 00:39:29,910
There was a prior Guardian lead.
691
00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:32,830
The Guardian assessments
are the lowest level of investigation
692
00:39:32,830 --> 00:39:35,499
that the FBI will conduct
on a national security subject.
693
00:39:35,499 --> 00:39:39,378
That is when you have uncorroborated
single-source information that comes in.
694
00:39:39,962 --> 00:39:41,338
[Davis] He said he questioned them,
695
00:39:41,338 --> 00:39:43,966
looked at the information
that they provided us,
696
00:39:43,966 --> 00:39:45,634
and we closed the case.
697
00:39:45,634 --> 00:39:48,178
I said, "You guys had access
to this information?
698
00:39:48,178 --> 00:39:50,722
"Why didn't you tell us
that these guys were out there?"
699
00:39:53,392 --> 00:39:55,936
Nothing in that Guardian assessment
would've led us to believe
700
00:39:55,936 --> 00:39:57,771
that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was gonna bomb
701
00:39:57,771 --> 00:39:59,857
the 2013 Boston Marathon.
702
00:40:01,275 --> 00:40:03,360
I was frustrated by that, and surprised.
703
00:40:04,027 --> 00:40:06,029
[foreboding music]
704
00:40:08,115 --> 00:40:10,117
[light bulbs buzzing]
705
00:40:14,121 --> 00:40:16,290
[man] Law enforcement
is always trying to find
706
00:40:16,290 --> 00:40:18,292
the people who committed a crime
707
00:40:18,292 --> 00:40:20,043
or were suspected of committing a crime.
708
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:24,465
{\an8}I'm not trying to do that.
I'm trying to understand the story.
709
00:40:25,674 --> 00:40:28,677
You're not born a monster
who blows up a marathon
710
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:30,220
and kills an eight-year-old.
711
00:40:32,181 --> 00:40:34,391
We need to know how this happens.
712
00:40:35,434 --> 00:40:36,852
How did he get there?
713
00:40:38,562 --> 00:40:40,564
That's why I'm here. I'm here for that.
714
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:50,365
[explosions]
715
00:40:51,366 --> 00:40:52,576
[reporter] Hour after hour,
716
00:40:52,576 --> 00:40:55,787
the thunder of Russian guns
rolls around this border area.
717
00:40:56,288 --> 00:40:58,040
They're aimed at Chechen militants.
718
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,042
[explosions and artillery fire]
719
00:41:01,168 --> 00:41:04,671
In the late 1990s, Chechens were seen
as people who were being persecuted,
720
00:41:05,339 --> 00:41:09,593
and the United States
was willing to give refugee status
721
00:41:09,593 --> 00:41:11,470
to those fleeing persecution.
722
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:18,143
Anzor Tsarnaev, Tamerlan's father,
saw the American dream on Hollywood movies
723
00:41:18,143 --> 00:41:20,896
and decided that that's what he wanted.
724
00:41:22,231 --> 00:41:26,026
He gets to America with his wife
and their four children.
725
00:41:26,527 --> 00:41:29,530
They move into this cramped apartment
in the Boston area.
726
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:33,242
By this point, Tamerlan is a teenager.
727
00:41:34,326 --> 00:41:38,413
He had learned to box in Kyrgyzstan,
and he was talented.
728
00:41:38,956 --> 00:41:40,249
And his father saw this,
729
00:41:40,249 --> 00:41:42,793
and he wanted him to become a champion.
730
00:41:43,377 --> 00:41:44,294
Watch this guy.
731
00:41:44,294 --> 00:41:45,379
Very skilled man
732
00:41:45,379 --> 00:41:47,214
who's gonna take
the championship for sure.
733
00:41:52,177 --> 00:41:56,807
[Allan] The first time I met Tamerlan
was around 2008.
734
00:41:57,474 --> 00:41:58,976
His father had trained him.
735
00:41:58,976 --> 00:42:00,519
Very intense guy.
736
00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:03,438
He rode him to be the best.
737
00:42:04,231 --> 00:42:06,233
So Tamerlan, he was very on point.
738
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:09,111
I was really impressed
with his work ethic.
739
00:42:09,945 --> 00:42:11,947
And he was very effective in the ring.
740
00:42:11,947 --> 00:42:16,994
[boxing announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen, Tamerlan Tsarnaev!
741
00:42:16,994 --> 00:42:19,288
He was like a man boxing kids.
742
00:42:19,288 --> 00:42:20,956
[intense music]
743
00:42:26,211 --> 00:42:27,504
[crowd cheering]
744
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,803
Um, ahem...
745
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,097
The year before the Olympics,
746
00:42:37,097 --> 00:42:39,057
he was doing phenomenally well
747
00:42:39,057 --> 00:42:41,226
and he was winning all of his matches.
748
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:45,647
[boxing announcer]
The winner! Tamerlan Tsarnaev!
749
00:42:45,647 --> 00:42:46,565
[applause]
750
00:42:46,565 --> 00:42:48,317
[boxing announcer speaking indistinctly]
751
00:42:51,445 --> 00:42:54,448
[Filipov]
Anzor Tsarnaev would brag to his friends:
752
00:42:54,448 --> 00:42:57,159
"My son is gonna be
on the US Olympic boxing team."
753
00:42:58,285 --> 00:43:01,371
I not only believed
that he could make the Olympics,
754
00:43:01,371 --> 00:43:04,082
but he had a good chance
of winning a medal.
755
00:43:04,082 --> 00:43:05,459
You excited?
756
00:43:05,459 --> 00:43:07,252
Yeah. Why not?
757
00:43:08,462 --> 00:43:09,713
You know?
758
00:43:10,797 --> 00:43:12,591
[Allan] But we later found out
759
00:43:12,591 --> 00:43:16,053
that he wasn't gonna be able
to go to the Olympic trials.
760
00:43:17,304 --> 00:43:19,222
That right overhand's there all day.
761
00:43:19,723 --> 00:43:21,933
That left hook
when he drops his right hand.
762
00:43:24,186 --> 00:43:25,646
The rule change was what did it.
763
00:43:26,313 --> 00:43:29,608
To make it onto the Olympic team,
you had to be a US citizen.
764
00:43:29,608 --> 00:43:31,026
And Tamerlan, he wasn't a citizen.
765
00:43:32,194 --> 00:43:35,238
[Allan] The way he presented
the Olympic situation to me
766
00:43:35,238 --> 00:43:36,698
boiled down to,
767
00:43:36,698 --> 00:43:40,369
"I'm Muslim, they don't want me
to represent the United States."
768
00:43:40,369 --> 00:43:41,870
"So it's not gonna happen."
769
00:43:41,870 --> 00:43:43,789
I said, "You could go professional."
770
00:43:43,789 --> 00:43:45,999
"You know, there are many things
we can do and..."
771
00:43:45,999 --> 00:43:47,417
"No, it's all rigged."
772
00:43:47,417 --> 00:43:50,754
"I'm Muslim,
and it's not gonna work out for me."
773
00:43:50,754 --> 00:43:51,755
And at this point,
774
00:43:51,755 --> 00:43:55,175
you start
to really sense his disillusionment.
775
00:43:55,926 --> 00:43:58,053
He really pushed deeper into religion.
776
00:43:58,053 --> 00:44:00,138
[ominous music]
777
00:44:01,765 --> 00:44:05,977
[man] One time we had a guest speaker,
and the subject was Martin Luther King.
778
00:44:06,478 --> 00:44:09,439
{\an8}And what he stood for.
Uh, what kind of person he was.
779
00:44:10,023 --> 00:44:12,526
Tamerlan stood up and shouted.
780
00:44:12,526 --> 00:44:15,445
"Why are we
to celebrate Martin Luther King?"
781
00:44:15,445 --> 00:44:16,613
"He's not a Muslim."
782
00:44:17,114 --> 00:44:20,117
"We should be following
and celebrating only the Prophet."
783
00:44:20,992 --> 00:44:23,870
For anyone during a sermon
to voice discontent
784
00:44:23,870 --> 00:44:26,248
as vehemently as he did,
785
00:44:26,748 --> 00:44:29,751
it was kind of really upsetting
for everyone.
786
00:44:29,751 --> 00:44:32,713
Um, and very unusual.
787
00:44:32,713 --> 00:44:37,008
Tamerlan's rhetoric
about the Zionist conspiracies
788
00:44:37,008 --> 00:44:38,552
became a lot more animated.
789
00:44:38,552 --> 00:44:41,847
{\an8}I think Tamerlan used Islam as a tool
790
00:44:41,847 --> 00:44:46,268
{\an8}to justify his discontent
of where his life was going.
791
00:44:46,268 --> 00:44:48,603
The idea that it's not, "We failed."
792
00:44:48,603 --> 00:44:50,355
It's, "This society is built
793
00:44:50,355 --> 00:44:52,691
against Muslims, against us."
794
00:44:53,525 --> 00:44:55,569
[Allan]
He would say that the Muslim nations
795
00:44:55,569 --> 00:44:56,778
were being stomped on
796
00:44:56,778 --> 00:44:57,988
by the West,
797
00:44:57,988 --> 00:44:59,573
their oil taken.
798
00:44:59,573 --> 00:45:02,451
Israel and the rich Jews were behind it.
799
00:45:02,451 --> 00:45:04,578
Kind of a global conspiracy.
800
00:45:04,578 --> 00:45:07,914
He's started to overtly associate
with his religion.
801
00:45:07,914 --> 00:45:10,959
Was wearing the skull cap
with a big beard.
802
00:45:10,959 --> 00:45:13,044
[ominous music]
803
00:45:18,884 --> 00:45:20,719
[man] Approximately 2:30 p.m. today,
804
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:21,970
the Waltham police responded
805
00:45:21,970 --> 00:45:24,890
to this scene at 12 Harding Avenue.
806
00:45:24,890 --> 00:45:28,810
Uh, there are three dead bodies.
Very graphic crime scene.
807
00:45:28,810 --> 00:45:32,606
This is a fluid, ongoing investigation.
808
00:45:32,606 --> 00:45:35,567
[news anchor] Two of the three victims
lived nearby in Cambridge, Mass.
809
00:45:35,567 --> 00:45:38,487
The third victim
was 25-year-old Brendon Mess.
810
00:45:38,487 --> 00:45:40,989
He was a local mixed martial arts fighter.
811
00:45:40,989 --> 00:45:43,867
Brandon Mess
was Tamerlan's best friend at the time.
812
00:45:43,867 --> 00:45:46,953
They always came to the gym together.
I know they went out together.
813
00:45:48,538 --> 00:45:51,333
The following day,
Tamerlan came into the gym.
814
00:45:52,667 --> 00:45:54,044
I said to him,
815
00:45:54,044 --> 00:45:56,171
"Sorry to hear what happened to Brendan."
816
00:45:56,922 --> 00:46:00,467
His response really, really unsettled me.
817
00:46:00,467 --> 00:46:04,429
He said, "You do bad things,
you sell drugs,
818
00:46:04,429 --> 00:46:06,765
that's the type of stuff
that happens to you."
819
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:11,394
Then suddenly, Tamerlan disappeared.
820
00:46:11,394 --> 00:46:12,687
And when he came back,
821
00:46:12,687 --> 00:46:13,980
he was quite different.
822
00:46:16,316 --> 00:46:19,736
[Filipov] Tamerlan goes to Dagestan
in the summer of 2012.
823
00:46:22,447 --> 00:46:26,743
The FBI get a memo from the FSB,
the Russian Security Service.
824
00:46:26,743 --> 00:46:30,038
Tamerlan had been recorded
on a phone call saying the word "jihad."
825
00:46:32,249 --> 00:46:34,417
And that's what led
to the Guardians screening.
826
00:46:35,377 --> 00:46:37,838
But the FBI had deduced
that he doesn't pose a threat.
827
00:46:39,381 --> 00:46:40,340
They let him go.
828
00:46:40,340 --> 00:46:41,800
[sirens blaring]
829
00:46:44,511 --> 00:46:46,179
[DesLauriers] When we identified Tamerlan,
830
00:46:46,179 --> 00:46:48,265
we didn't know if any of his associates
831
00:46:48,265 --> 00:46:49,808
that might have more bombs out there.
832
00:46:49,808 --> 00:46:51,643
At that point we looked at his background,
833
00:46:51,643 --> 00:46:53,687
his friends, family members.
834
00:46:54,729 --> 00:46:57,899
We quickly learned his younger brother
was named Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
835
00:47:00,777 --> 00:47:03,029
We obtained
his driver's license photograph.
836
00:47:03,697 --> 00:47:06,241
We matched that up
with the photos from the bombing.
837
00:47:09,744 --> 00:47:10,620
At that point,
838
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:12,372
we knew he was the second bomber.
839
00:47:13,415 --> 00:47:17,544
Black Hat is Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
And Dzhokhar is White Hat.
840
00:47:17,544 --> 00:47:18,879
That's his brother.
841
00:47:19,379 --> 00:47:22,591
[DesLauriers] We needed to find Dzhokhar
as quickly as possible.
842
00:47:23,675 --> 00:47:25,260
{\an8}And we began the search
843
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:26,887
for the second suspect.
844
00:47:26,887 --> 00:47:29,806
We were activating
a grid search of Watertown.
845
00:47:29,806 --> 00:47:31,933
[DesLauriers]
They go into a tactical mode,
846
00:47:31,933 --> 00:47:33,435
going 20 blocks out
847
00:47:33,435 --> 00:47:35,103
in every direction from that Mercedes,
848
00:47:35,103 --> 00:47:37,230
the car they dumped after the carjacking.
849
00:47:38,023 --> 00:47:40,066
[Evans] We were searching house by house,
850
00:47:40,066 --> 00:47:41,151
block by block
851
00:47:41,985 --> 00:47:43,194
from the middle out.
852
00:47:43,194 --> 00:47:46,907
Is he in the neighborhood? Did he get out?
Is he back home? Where is he?
853
00:47:47,991 --> 00:47:49,993
[Davis] I've been involved
in thousands of searches.
854
00:47:49,993 --> 00:47:54,331
You know, sometimes they get out,
and other times they just hunker down.
855
00:47:54,331 --> 00:47:56,166
And I was hoping that it was the latter.
856
00:47:56,166 --> 00:47:58,251
[indistinct police radio chatter]
857
00:47:58,251 --> 00:48:01,379
But it had been two to three hours,
and we hadn't found anyone.
858
00:48:02,297 --> 00:48:05,342
Every minute that passes
is a possibility of him getting away.
859
00:48:05,342 --> 00:48:07,344
That was a scary moment
in the investigation.
860
00:48:07,344 --> 00:48:09,471
We don't know how big of a group
we're dealing with.
861
00:48:09,471 --> 00:48:13,975
We were anticipating the potential
of the activation of a larger cell
862
00:48:13,975 --> 00:48:14,893
who would attack.
863
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,938
This was a massive national manhunt,
864
00:48:17,938 --> 00:48:20,106
unprecedented
in US law enforcement history.
865
00:48:20,982 --> 00:48:22,776
We're asking people to shelter in place.
866
00:48:22,776 --> 00:48:25,946
[reporter 1] The city on lockdown.
This is unprecedented.
867
00:48:25,946 --> 00:48:27,864
[reporter 2]
Several hundred police officers
868
00:48:27,864 --> 00:48:29,658
are scouring these streets
869
00:48:29,658 --> 00:48:31,159
for a man they are convinced
870
00:48:31,159 --> 00:48:32,452
is a terrorist
871
00:48:32,452 --> 00:48:34,663
who has come here to kill people.
872
00:48:37,874 --> 00:48:39,417
