00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:18,727
[Filipov]
To really understand what happened,
3
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:20,603
we have to go back.
4
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,397
[tape rewinding]
5
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:42,751
[Filipov] In 1944, Soviet dictator
Joseph Stalin decided
6
00:00:42,834 --> 00:00:46,087
that the entire Chechen nation
was helping Nazi Germany.
7
00:00:46,838 --> 00:00:49,132
As a result of this,
they were put in cattle cars
8
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:52,093
and sent to this remote region
in Central Asia.
9
00:00:53,595 --> 00:00:58,308
It was a mass exile of an entire people.
Half of them died on the way.
10
00:00:59,851 --> 00:01:01,061
Those who survived
11
00:01:01,144 --> 00:01:05,273
included Tamerlan and Dzhokhar's
grandfather, Zaindy Tsarnaev.
12
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:11,029
To get by and to provide for his family,
Zaindy would scavenge around
13
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:14,407
through this scrapyard
for parts that he could resell.
14
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:19,204
One day, he put his stuff in the car
unaware that one of the things
15
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:24,334
that he'd scavenged was a live munition
that detonated and killed him instantly.
16
00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:30,715
His son Anzor meets this woman
named Zubeidat, and they get married.
17
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,717
- They have four kids.
- [camera clicking]
18
00:01:32,801 --> 00:01:36,096
The oldest is Tamerlan.
The youngest is Dzhokhar.
19
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,224
They were able to get refugee status
20
00:01:39,307 --> 00:01:41,893
and go to the United States,
the Boston area.
21
00:01:41,976 --> 00:01:43,770
He was seeking the American dream.
22
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:44,854
[camera clicks]
23
00:01:46,022 --> 00:01:47,232
And then they get here...

[camera clicks]
25
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,945
...and this dream, it wasn't real.
26
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:55,949
And things just don't go
according to plan.
27
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,952
[dramatic music playing]

- [sirens wailing]
- [police radio chattering]
29
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:19,556
This was the most incredible story
I had ever heard and seen
30
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,641
and experienced in my lifetime.
31
00:02:23,017 --> 00:02:26,646
And it was happening in real time
at that moment in Watertown.
32
00:02:26,729 --> 00:02:28,731
[ominous music playing]
33
00:02:30,859 --> 00:02:34,571
One of the suspects was dead.
The other had gotten away.
34
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:39,033
We were out there all night long
searching hallways, garages.
35
00:02:39,117 --> 00:02:42,662
[Martin] The cops aren't speaking,
but people in the neighborhood are,
36
00:02:42,745 --> 00:02:44,985
and people in the neighborhood
are describing a shootout.
37
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:49,169
We heard the boom, boom!
Shotgun sound type of thing.
38
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:51,212
Then bap, bap! Boom, boom!
39
00:02:51,296 --> 00:02:52,839
Bap, bap, bap, bap, bap!
40
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:55,133
Boom, boom, boom!
Bap, bap! Boom, boom!
41
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:56,634
Back and forth, it was crazy.
42
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:59,095
Boom, boom! And I was just...
We didn't know what it was,
43
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:02,223
and then all of a sudden
you just see a hundred cruisers.
44
00:03:02,307 --> 00:03:05,310
We were still going toward it,
and then residents from the windows,
45
00:03:05,393 --> 00:03:08,688
they shouted,
"Hey, it's gunfire. Don't go that way."
46
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:10,773
[dramatic music playing]
47
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:16,529
We get reported back
that Boston PD are talking to a cab driver
48
00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:20,825
who picked up a Chechen national
from Watertown and dropped him off
49
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:24,537
over at South Station train station
in Boston.
50
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:26,247
There's also a report
51
00:03:26,331 --> 00:03:30,835
that there's a pipe bomb found
down the street from the train station.
52
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,965
"Oh my God. What do we have here?
Is it more than the Tsarnaevs?"
53
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:40,220
"Is our rail system under attack?
Is someone there with bombs?"
54
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:43,890
We need more information,
so we dispatch more people there.
55
00:03:43,973 --> 00:03:47,977
We were literally stopping Amtrak trains
on the rails going down from Boston
56
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:52,232
to New York City and Washington, D.C.,
and conducting searches of those trains.
57
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:53,608
We were in the command post.
58
00:03:53,691 --> 00:03:56,152
We had the head of the Transit Police.
59
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:57,695
We had the governor.
60
00:03:58,279 --> 00:04:00,823
We realized that the buses
61
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:04,744
that were going to start running
at 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the morning
62
00:04:04,827 --> 00:04:06,371
could be a means of escape.
63
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,709
And there's a huddle up
to figure out what should we be doing.
64
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:13,753
[inaudible]
65
00:04:13,836 --> 00:04:16,547
The decision was made
to shut down the city.
66
00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:18,007
[police siren blares]
67
00:04:21,052 --> 00:04:24,889
Good morning, everybody.
There is a massive manhunt underway.
68
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:28,101
We have suspended all service on the MBTA.
69
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:35,233
We're asking people to shelter in place,
to stay indoors with their doors locked,
70
00:04:35,316 --> 00:04:37,402
and not to open the door for anyone
71
00:04:37,485 --> 00:04:41,322
other than a properly identified
law enforcement officer.
72
00:04:41,406 --> 00:04:46,744
And that applies here in Watertown,
also Cambridge, Waltham,
73
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:51,082
Newton, Belmont,
and at this point, all of Boston.
74
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:53,084
All of Boston.
75
00:04:53,167 --> 00:04:55,687
[reporter 1] One million people
on lockdown in Boston right now.
76
00:04:55,753 --> 00:04:57,505
As you heard there, everything closed.
77
00:04:57,588 --> 00:04:59,188
[reporter 2] This is just unprecedented.
78
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:01,009
The city turned into a ghost town.
79
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:04,012
There was nobody on the street.
80
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:06,556
Everybody abided by it.
81
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,892
[reporter 3] The entire city of Boston.
Residents being asked,
82
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,729
"Stay in your homes, do not open the door
83
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:15,189
unless you see
a clearly identified police officer."
84
00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:16,816
A remarkable turn of events.
85
00:05:16,899 --> 00:05:19,861
Law enforcement needed to have
unfettered access in the streets.
86
00:05:20,361 --> 00:05:22,241
It wasn't just Boston,
it wasn't just Watertown.
87
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,407
It was almost
all of Eastern Massachusetts.
88
00:05:26,367 --> 00:05:29,329
It was a use of police authority
that I had never seen before.
89
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:33,541
[DesLauriers] We were surging federal
state and local resources into Watertown
90
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:36,961
to find the individual
we had identified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
91
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:38,421
[sirens wailing]
92
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:41,049
[reporter] We have throngs
of police officers arriving here.
93
00:05:41,132 --> 00:05:43,426
I see what looks like
municipal police officers.
94
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:46,137
I see state troopers. All hands on deck.
95
00:05:46,637 --> 00:05:51,142
Ultimately, you had
about 2,500 police officers in Watertown.
96
00:05:51,225 --> 00:05:52,852
[distant sirens wailing]
97
00:05:52,935 --> 00:05:55,688
Many as far away
as New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
98
00:05:55,772 --> 00:05:56,856
[no audible speech]
99
00:05:56,939 --> 00:06:00,068
They heard what was happening,
they jumped in their cars and came down.
100
00:06:02,111 --> 00:06:05,323
The police continue
to tighten their grip on this area
101
00:06:05,406 --> 00:06:08,534
in which they believe
that suspect number two is holed up.
102
00:06:09,452 --> 00:06:11,704
We had professionals
who understand the law,
103
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:12,997
understand civil rights,
104
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:16,292
understand how to do things right,
and that's what was happening.
105
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:19,087
But it was done with extreme urgency.
106
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,005
[distant sirens wailing]
107
00:06:21,089 --> 00:06:23,091
[reporter]
There's an ongoing manhunt for a person
108
00:06:23,174 --> 00:06:25,718
wanted in connection
with Monday's marathon bombing.
109
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:28,930
Residents in Watertown
are advised to stay indoors.
110

[ominous music playing]
111
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:34,849
[man] My wife and I
have been up following the news.
112
00:06:34,894 --> 00:06:38,398
Then around 5:30 we woke up,
and police officers were coming through,
113
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:40,024
going from house to house.
114
00:06:42,318 --> 00:06:44,558
Just going house to house,
making sure everything's okay.
115
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:46,465
- [man 1] Everything's fine.
- You guys are good?
116
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:47,323
- [man 2] Yep.
- Okay.
117
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:51,369
The police searched with the assumption
that someone may have abetted his escape.
118
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:53,830
- Cellar's all set? Everything's locked up?
- [man] Yup.
119
00:06:53,913 --> 00:06:57,542
- Well, we have an open garage in the back.
- We'll just check that.
120
00:06:57,625 --> 00:07:00,628
- [man] Okay. But the attic's locked.
- Okay. All right. Thank you.
121
00:07:00,711 --> 00:07:01,712
[man] Thanks.
122
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:04,841
[woman] Oh my God.
Look, they're everywhere.
123
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,010
[man] I never want to
wake up to this again.
124
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:11,389
A lot of people who were upset
when you had police going
125
00:07:11,472 --> 00:07:13,933
backyard to backyard, alley to alley.
126
00:07:14,016 --> 00:07:16,894
[reporter 1] What's the last
24 hours or so been like?
127
00:07:18,062 --> 00:07:19,062
Horrifying.
128
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:20,565
[reporter 2] What does it feel like?
129
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:25,236
Terror. It feels...
It's horrendous. It makes me nervous.
130
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:26,737
I'm scared to death. I'm scared.
131
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:31,325
[officer] Is there anybody else in there?
Just you two?
132
00:07:31,409 --> 00:07:33,619
Is it one big residence
or is there multiple apartments?
133
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:35,621
The "shelter in place"
was the correct decision.
134
00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:39,625
He could have been anywhere,
but we felt he was in Watertown.
135
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:41,419
[helicopter whirring]

137
00:07:43,921 --> 00:07:47,383
It wasn't clear where he went.
Was there anyone else involved?
138
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,178
Are there other explosives in the city?
We just didn't know.
139
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:53,598
[Davis] This investigation
was definitely two-pronged.
140
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:58,644
One was the hard search
for the suspect in the area,
141
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,521
which took a lot of our attention.
142
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:02,315
[ominous music continues]
143
00:08:02,398 --> 00:08:06,360
The other part of it was
to understand these two brothers.
144
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:08,364
- [camera clicking]
- How they did what they did,
145
00:08:08,905 --> 00:08:12,408
and importantly to find out if
anybody else was part of that conspiracy.
146
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,368
[ominous music continues]
147
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:21,518
[DesLauriers] We subsequently learned
that the Tsarnaev brothers
148
00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:22,960
lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
149
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:26,547
So we immediately sought search warrants
to conduct searches of that residence.

[camera clicking]
151
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:39,852
The evidence response teams were quickly
finding bomb-making paraphernalia.

[camera clicks]
153
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:43,689
But Dzhokhar was not there.
154
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:46,901
We learned that Tamerlan
had a wife named Katherine Russell.
155
00:08:46,984 --> 00:08:51,239
A producer saw police
come out of his building with a woman.

[sirens wailing]
157
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:56,577
[Davis] She met Tamerlan
and became a practicing Muslim.
158
00:08:57,828 --> 00:08:59,830
She was interviewed.
159
00:08:59,914 --> 00:09:02,166
- She was not cooperative.

160

People that are innocent
that see something like this happen
161
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:09,590
are usually devastated
that their relative has been involved
162
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:11,842
in something so heinous.
163
00:09:11,926 --> 00:09:14,595
That's what I think is striking
about this interrogation.
164
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,764
There was no remorse or sympathy.
165
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:21,894
My impression was
that she was aligned with Tamerlan,
166
00:09:21,978 --> 00:09:25,189
and despite
the horrific things that he did,
167
00:09:25,273 --> 00:09:28,067
she was not going to help
the government of the United States.

I was hopeful that there would be
enough information developed to charge her
170
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:37,451
because I thought
she was probably involved,
171
00:09:37,535 --> 00:09:39,412
but that never came to pass.
172
00:09:39,495 --> 00:09:42,498
[DesLauriers]
There was not enough evidence
173
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,709
to bring charges
against Katherine Russell.
174
00:09:45,209 --> 00:09:48,462
If you find out that someone
is about to commit a crime
175
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:50,840
or you suspect
that they're about to commit a crime,
176
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:54,385
it's not against the law
to just keep your mouth shut,
177
00:09:54,468 --> 00:09:58,806
to not say anything or do anything
to stop it from happening.
178
00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:00,850
[foreboding music playing]
179
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:09,525
[DesLauriers] It's almost impossible
to control media leaks
180
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,527
during an investigation of this magnitude.
181
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:14,530
[indistinct chatter]
182
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:17,074
[officer] Quiet, please!
183
00:10:17,158 --> 00:10:19,368
So we made the decision
to release their names.
184
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,454
[ominous music playing]
185
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:34,342
The dead suspect has been identified
as Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
186
00:10:34,425 --> 00:10:36,345
- [reporter 2] Tamerlan.
- [reporter 3] Tamerlan.
187
00:10:36,385 --> 00:10:39,430
The one still being sought is Dzhokhar.
188
00:10:39,513 --> 00:10:42,099
- [reporter 4] Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
- [reporter 5] Dzhokhar.
189
00:10:42,183 --> 00:10:44,560
- [sirens wailing]
- [Filipov] I'm driving in very early.
190
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,270
I hear on the radio their names.
191
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:49,940
When you hear the name Tsarnaev,
that's a Chechen name.
192
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:54,612
Both parents are back in Dagestan,
and Elizabeth Palmer has their reaction.
193
00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:00,034
What happened is a terrible thing,
194
00:11:00,117 --> 00:11:04,205
but I know that my kids
have nothing to do with this.
195
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:06,499
I know it. I am mother.
196
00:11:06,582 --> 00:11:08,959
[in Chechen] I'm scared for my son's life.
197
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:12,672
They should arrest him.
Bring him in alive.
198
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:14,548
Alive.
199
00:11:14,632 --> 00:11:17,426
And the judicial system
should investigate everything.
200
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,095
Who is right and who is guilty.
201
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:21,681
[reporter, in English]
Reporters found the suspects' uncle.
202
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:24,141
His message to his nephew, "Surrender."
203
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:30,731
If you're alive, turn yourself in
and ask for forgiveness
204
00:11:31,899 --> 00:11:33,693
- from the victims.
- [cameras clicking]
205
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:42,827
When I first heard Dzhokhar's name,
I was in utter shock.
206
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:46,080
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, he is still at large,
207
00:11:46,163 --> 00:11:49,542
and police are combing through
the entire city of Boston.
208
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:52,128
[Aaronson] Dzhokhar was a neighbor,
and he also was a student
209
00:11:52,211 --> 00:11:53,629
at the school where I taught.
210
00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:58,634
He was very social. He was charismatic.
211
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:01,262
He had lots of friends.
He was very popular.
212
00:12:01,345 --> 00:12:03,180
[cameras clicking]
213
00:12:04,348 --> 00:12:06,058
He was on the wrestling team.
214
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:07,768
[spectators cheer]
215
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:09,937
[indistinct shouting]
216
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,355
He was a charmer.
217
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:15,192
People have said to me,
"Why didn't you call people
218
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:17,278
and say you can identify this person?"
219
00:12:17,361 --> 00:12:20,364
Because this is no way
this could be this kid, so...
220
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:21,449
Because why?
221
00:12:21,532 --> 00:12:25,119
Because there's nothing about him
that would suggest anything like this.
222
00:12:25,202 --> 00:12:27,204
Politics, religion. Nothing.
223
00:12:27,288 --> 00:12:31,500
It was beginning
to become clearer and clearer that...
224
00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:35,004
"Larry, this is Dzhokhar."
225
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:38,799
"You know Dzhokhar. He's the bomber."
226
00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:42,011
When I found out that it was Dzhokhar,
227
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:44,972
I couldn't wrap my head around it.
228
00:12:45,890 --> 00:12:48,058
And I had cognitive dissonance.
229
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:52,188
There was nothing
that anybody could tell me to-to-to...
230
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:55,065
for me to believe that they did it.
231
00:12:55,149 --> 00:13:00,738
I needed somebody to physically tell me
that they saw them do it,
232
00:13:00,821 --> 00:13:05,034
and I need to trust
that person's, um, perspective.
233
00:13:07,203 --> 00:13:09,830
I first met Dzhokhar
when I first started playing basketball.
234
00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:13,125
He was definitely popular.
Like, everybody knew him.
235
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:18,088
I remember every Friday
I would go to the mosque...
236
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:19,172
[man singing, chanting]
237
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:20,883
...and it's a packed room.
238
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:24,929
And I see Dzhokhar, and it confuses me
239
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:28,682
because I assumed
Dzhokhar was a white kid from Boston.
240
00:13:28,766 --> 00:13:33,062
I sit next to him, and I'm like,
"What are you... What are you doing here?"
241
00:13:33,145 --> 00:13:34,688
[chanting]
242
00:13:35,356 --> 00:13:38,317
And then he's like, "Yeah, bro,
I've been Muslim my whole life."
243
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,862
"I just never thought
it was, like, important to, like..."
244
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:44,615
I'm like, "Bro, we could, like, chill."
245
00:13:44,698 --> 00:13:47,660
Like, you know, like,
"We could do Muslim things!"
246
00:13:47,743 --> 00:13:48,743
[laughs] Like...
247
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:52,373
We started hanging out,
like, every single day.
248
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,918
I could relate with him
on a level that I couldn't before.
249
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:58,170
He was humble, he was kind,
250
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:00,506
he would give me five bucks
to go to lunch.
251
00:14:01,465 --> 00:14:03,300
He got along with, like, everyone.
252
00:14:03,384 --> 00:14:08,055
I never saw him as ideological.
I never saw him as militant. Never.
253
00:14:08,138 --> 00:14:09,890
And the truth is, there were times
254
00:14:09,974 --> 00:14:13,310
when I tried to talk to him
about social justice issues.
255
00:14:13,894 --> 00:14:16,647
He was not interested in any
of those kinds of conversations.
256
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:19,984
He gave no indication
that he was in the least bit political.
257
00:14:20,067 --> 00:14:21,569
[camera clicking]
258
00:14:21,652 --> 00:14:26,824
His parents divorced and they moved
separately back to Dagestan.
259
00:14:26,907 --> 00:14:30,160
Suddenly you have this rip
through the whole fabric
260
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:34,456
of what this was supposed to be,
and they all blame America for it.
261
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:37,042
[Youssef]
Losing your mother and your father
262
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:40,296
almost immediately after you enter college
263
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:42,214
has to be devastating.
264
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:45,843
Dzhokhar and his brother
became a lot closer.
265
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:48,762
He admired his brother deeply,
266
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:52,308
like, to the point where I almost
envied their relationship.
267
00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:54,393
[ominous music playing]
268
00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:59,273
Now, the relationship
between Tamerlan and Dzhokhar was...
269
00:14:59,356 --> 00:15:02,526
In the gym, was extremely similar
270
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:06,030
to the relationship
between Tamerlan and his father.
271
00:15:07,031 --> 00:15:11,076
Tamerlan was definitely telling
Dzhokhar what to do.
272
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,204
It was almost like it was
when his father was training him.
273
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:18,250
But Dzhokhar was not interested in boxing.
He wanted to wrestle.
274
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:20,252
[spectators cheering]
275
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:24,798
[Youssef] Dzhokhar ended up
going to UMass Dartmouth.
276
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:27,217
[camera clicks]
277
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:31,347
He said he was doing well in school.
278
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:34,266
He enjoyed everything.
He was making money.
279
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:35,726
Turns out not to be true.
280
00:15:37,561 --> 00:15:39,813
Dzhokhar would lie
that he was going to transfer,
281
00:15:39,897 --> 00:15:43,692
and that his grades were great,
when actually he was failing out.
282
00:15:44,526 --> 00:15:46,445
He's not just the all-American kid now.
283
00:15:46,528 --> 00:15:48,238
He's got a drug operation
284
00:15:48,322 --> 00:15:52,868
that he's been sort of running down there
in Dartmouth, dealing marijuana.
285
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:58,207
I knew he was selling weed,
but, like, all my friends sold weed.
286
00:15:58,290 --> 00:15:59,833
Definitely dealing in pounds,
287
00:16:00,542 --> 00:16:03,587
but like, not to the point
the FBI is about to knock on your door.
288
00:16:04,672 --> 00:16:08,968
The last time we ended up meeting
was a month before the bombing.
289
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:12,513
We're about to go out,
meet up with some more friends.
290
00:16:12,596 --> 00:16:14,598
There was, like, two parties that night.
291
00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:16,934
And then, um,
292
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:19,478
yeah, he gets a call from his brother,
293
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:24,108
and immediately after he hung up,
he turns to us and he says,
294
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:26,193
"Yo, bro, I gotta go."
295
00:16:27,695 --> 00:16:30,030
We're like, "You good? Everything good?"
296
00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:32,408
He's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just family."
297
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:34,493
[ominous music continues]
298
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:40,082
That was... the last time I saw him.
299
00:16:41,041 --> 00:16:43,043
[ominous music continues]
300
00:16:47,506 --> 00:16:50,146
[Aaronson] This is the most
impactful thing I've ever been through.
301
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:56,265
And as a history teacher,
my job is to make sense of this.
302
00:17:03,147 --> 00:17:07,234
It's something I've really never
been able to put together in my mind.
303
00:17:07,317 --> 00:17:09,319
[foreboding music playing]
304
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:14,366
[music fades]
305
00:17:17,494 --> 00:17:20,873
We learned Dzhokhar has an apartment
at UMass Dartmouth.
306
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:23,542
[suspenseful music playing]
307
00:17:24,626 --> 00:17:29,840
Mass state police dispatches
a tactical team to that apartment complex.
308
00:17:29,923 --> 00:17:31,967
[sirens wailing]
309
00:17:33,469 --> 00:17:35,929
I had another HRT, Hostage Rescue Team,
310
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:39,224
being flown up
on Black Hawks from Virginia.
311
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:43,520
[reporter] Emotions ran high
as hundreds of students
312
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,022
evacuated campus in the morning,
313
00:17:45,105 --> 00:17:48,233
notified via text message
that something was wrong.
314
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:50,611
My roommate came in and he was like,
315
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:53,113
"By the way,
we're supposed to be leaving campus
316
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:56,408
because the guy goes here."
I'm like, "Oh, he used to be an alum?"
317
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:59,912
He's like, "No, he's the guy
that we hang out with sometimes."
318
00:17:59,995 --> 00:18:01,538
I'm still in shock.
319
00:18:01,622 --> 00:18:03,540
Yeah, I just want to get them out of here.
320
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:07,836
That was our greatest hope
of finding him alive down there.
321
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,215
[man] A fucking SWAT team
is right outside my fucking door.
322
00:18:11,298 --> 00:18:13,926
An armored car. What the fuck?
323
00:18:14,009 --> 00:18:16,178
We're listening to it live
on the radio feed.
324
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:19,765
[officer] Dzhokhar Tsarnaev!
Exit the residence now!
325
00:18:20,682 --> 00:18:23,602
Come out with your hands up
and don't move your hands!
326
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:25,979
You could hear them going in
327
00:18:26,063 --> 00:18:28,440
and talking to individuals,
and telling them to get down.
328
00:18:28,524 --> 00:18:30,484
You were hanging on it
and waiting to hear things.
329
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:33,529
We thought, "Gosh, Dzhokhar's got to be
one of those people in that room."
330
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:36,031
"He's just got to be
one of those people in the room."
331
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,117
[man breathing heavily]
332
00:18:39,868 --> 00:18:41,245
[man, whispering] What the fuck?
333
00:18:44,373 --> 00:18:47,417
The bottom line, what we want?
He's not there.
334
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:49,628
That was a very deflating
experience for us.
335
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,840
[Martin] They did not find a thing.
336
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:57,094
It came to a dead end,
and they were baffled by it.
337
00:18:57,177 --> 00:18:59,680
[Foley] We are literally
running everything down,
338
00:18:59,763 --> 00:19:03,725
but understand,
pretty much running out of good leads.
339
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:11,608
They're starting to collapse the search
into a smaller and smaller area.
340
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:13,360
[distant police siren]
341
00:19:13,944 --> 00:19:15,863
[Evans] One of my commanders, he says,
342
00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:18,824
"We got a couple more blocks to do
before we're done."
343
00:19:18,907 --> 00:19:20,576
[ominous music playing]
344
00:19:21,493 --> 00:19:24,872
[Foley] We felt like, oh,
he's got to be right in these streets.
345
00:19:25,455 --> 00:19:27,332
And we always felt like it was close.
346
00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:28,542
And all day long,
347
00:19:28,625 --> 00:19:32,296
we're getting different SWAT teams
calling in and near misses.
348
00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:34,715
It was just this roller coaster
of highs and lows,
349
00:19:34,798 --> 00:19:37,801
and at that point to say, "No? Nothing?"
350
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:39,845
"He got away?"
351
00:19:40,345 --> 00:19:41,430
I felt horrible.
352
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:46,226
[Martin] This "shelter in place"
can't stay in place forever.
353
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:48,353
It's eating up precious commercial time,
354
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:50,814
it's making a lot
of citizens disconcerted,
355
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:54,443
and they're not sure
where he is at this point.
356
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:59,072
[Davis] And then the governor called.
357
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:01,200
He had received the call
from President Obama.
358
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:04,328
And Obama was concerned
about the "shelter in place" order.
359
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:06,622
President Obama had said that,
"Listen, you can't keep
360
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:08,874
an entire metropolitan area
shut down forever."
361
00:20:08,957 --> 00:20:12,002
People really were working
on fumes at that point,
362
00:20:12,085 --> 00:20:15,255
so we were going to announce,
that we're lifting the "shelter in place,"
363
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,925
but please be very, very careful.
364
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:19,885
Don't leave your house
if you don't have to.
365
00:20:19,968 --> 00:20:21,386
We're still looking for him.
366
00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:28,435
In light of the developments,
in the course of the day,
367
00:20:28,518 --> 00:20:31,104
the "stay indoors" request is lifted.
368
00:20:31,855 --> 00:20:36,735
The T is open effective immediately,
the MBTA effective immediately.
369
00:20:36,818 --> 00:20:39,571
We are asking the public
to remain vigilant.
370
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:40,739
If you are out,
371
00:20:40,822 --> 00:20:45,661
there is still a very, very
dangerous individual at large.
372
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:47,537
Everyone started to go home.
373
00:20:47,621 --> 00:20:51,166
I could see, you know, state police,
everyone starting to pack up.
374
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,170
[reporter]
Police who have been combing this area
375
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:54,920
actually are being pulled out
376
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:58,465
after that somewhat
disappointing news conference.
377
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:02,552
And the bottom line from that conference
is that he got away.
378
00:21:02,636 --> 00:21:04,513
The younger brother
is on the loose right now.
379
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:06,616
- Much younger brother.
- He's armed, very dangerous.
380
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,809
Yet the local authorities
come out and say,
381
00:21:08,892 --> 00:21:11,728
"You know what?
We're going to ease this lockdown
382
00:21:11,812 --> 00:21:16,066
and go back and do what you need to do."
The freeze, in effect, is over.
383
00:21:16,566 --> 00:21:18,735
[Foley] It was Friday night.
384
00:21:19,695 --> 00:21:23,824
I probably had slept
eight hours in the last five days.
385
00:21:23,907 --> 00:21:28,036
I was happy to be standing.
And I'm not proud of that.
386
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,998
I'm really not proud of that,
but that's just what it was.
387
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:34,167
Rick DesLauriers,
he looked around the room
388
00:21:34,251 --> 00:21:39,715
and he saw
just exhausted people, and he said,
389
00:21:39,798 --> 00:21:44,678
"We have nothing viable at this point.
Let's shut it down."
390
00:21:44,761 --> 00:21:47,139
"Let's put a skeleton crew in place."
391
00:21:47,222 --> 00:21:50,892
"Get a few hours of shut-eye,
and let's come back at this fresher."
392
00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:55,814
[Davis] I was exhausted.
393
00:21:55,897 --> 00:21:58,977
I had sent my Chief of Department home
because he couldn't keep his eyes open.
394
00:21:59,735 --> 00:22:03,155
We had lost some SWAT team guys
who had to go to the hospital
395
00:22:03,238 --> 00:22:04,573
because they were so exhausted.
396
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:07,075
And it was clear
that we needed to take a break
397
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:08,827
and put some other people in charge.
398
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:12,706
I get in my car and started
to head to my home to get some sleep.
399
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:18,712
I was one of the last people
still in Watertown, at my capacity,
400
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:22,341
because I was literally trying
to find someone to take over for me.
401
00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:24,426
[foreboding music playing]
402
00:22:29,473 --> 00:22:31,350
[operator]
911, this line is being recorded.
403
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:32,934
What's the address of your emergency?
404
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:36,271
[man] 67 Franklin Street, Watertown.
405
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:38,732
[operator] Okay, do you need
police, fire, or ambulance?
406
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:42,402
[man] Uh, I have a... a boat in my yard.
407
00:22:42,486 --> 00:22:46,865
There's blood all over the inside.
There's a person in the boat.
408
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:48,450
[operator] Are you sure?
409
00:22:48,533 --> 00:22:50,077
[man] I just looked in the boat.
410
00:22:52,788 --> 00:22:54,788
- [operator] Okay, stay on the phone.
- [man] Okay.
411
00:22:57,542 --> 00:23:01,088
[Evans] A Watertown cop
came running up to me and he says,
412
00:23:01,171 --> 00:23:03,632
"We're getting word
that there's someone in a boat
413
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:05,717
behind 67 Franklin Street."
414
00:23:05,801 --> 00:23:08,345
And I says, "You're kidding me."
And he says, "Follow me."
415
00:23:08,428 --> 00:23:10,806
[indistinct police radio chatter]
416
00:23:10,889 --> 00:23:16,353
And we followed him quietly down
to the front of 67 Franklin Street.
417
00:23:16,436 --> 00:23:17,938
[suspenseful music playing]
418
00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:20,482
No sirens, no nothing.
A real quiet approach.
419
00:23:22,692 --> 00:23:27,322
We literally were the first ones there.
It hadn't gone out over the air at all.
420
00:23:29,825 --> 00:23:31,284
We went down the driveway.
421
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:34,538
Myself and the lieutenants
had our guns drawn.
422
00:23:34,621 --> 00:23:36,957
I remember looking up at the heat seal.
423
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,209
You know how the boats
have the winter wrap?
424
00:23:39,292 --> 00:23:44,005
We could see him, like a finger
or a gun trying to poke through it.
425
00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:48,885
We knew we had someone in the boat,
but who was in the boat?
426
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,471
Please be our guy. Please be our guy.
427
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:56,017
At that point I'm saying,
"Do we try to take him ourselves?"
428
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:59,062
You know, we didn't know
whether he had a suicide vest on.
429
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:00,272
[gunfire]
430
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:01,356
[explosion]
431
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,817
We've seen the ammunition
he had on the street.
432
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,236
We didn't know
how many people were in the boat,
433
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:10,031
so at that point, I made the decision
to call for a tactical unit.
434
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:11,616
And let's slow this down,
435
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:15,454
and let's peacefully,
as well as safely, get him out.
436
00:24:16,163 --> 00:24:20,542
[Evans] Can we get a TAC unit
up here, please? 67 Franklin.
437
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:23,503
[Evans] But the problem at that point is
once it went out,
438
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:26,423
everyone started to come.
439
00:24:28,091 --> 00:24:29,634
[officer] 468 Sunnybank.
440
00:24:30,177 --> 00:24:33,263
[Evans] Sir, I have a call
from 67 Franklin Street.
441
00:24:33,346 --> 00:24:35,056
67 Franklin.
442
00:24:35,974 --> 00:24:39,394
There's a boat in the backyard.
There's blood all over the cover of it.
443
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:42,814
I hear on the radio,
"Boss, they found him!"
444
00:24:43,857 --> 00:24:44,983
"You gotta go back!"
445
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:48,236
[laughs] I'm like,
"All right, I'm down the street."
446
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,655
Spin the car around and go flying back.
447
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,991
The call was, there's a report
448
00:24:53,074 --> 00:24:55,494
that there's a suspect
in a boat in Watertown.
449
00:24:56,077 --> 00:24:58,580
In hindsight it's almost funny,
but I said to my driver,
450
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:01,208
"Where's the water in Watertown?
Like, where would a boat be?"
451
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:04,770
[reporter] If you're tuning in right now,
there has been what appears to be
452
00:25:04,794 --> 00:25:07,839
a major development
in what has been a painstaking search.
453
00:25:07,923 --> 00:25:09,841
[suspenseful music playing]
454
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:12,344
[Martin] If this individual
is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,
455
00:25:12,427 --> 00:25:16,890
this guy apparently hid himself
in the boat for 18 hours.
456
00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:22,354
From where he abandoned the car
to where he hid himself
457
00:25:23,563 --> 00:25:24,773
was one block away.
458
00:25:26,233 --> 00:25:29,528
How they missed a boat
that's sitting in a backyard,
459
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,988
not see the bloody prints, I don't know.
460
00:25:32,572 --> 00:25:35,992
[reporter] Local police
in the Watertown area have told everyone
461
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:40,413
forget about what they said an hour ago,
stay inside, don't go outside.
462
00:25:40,497 --> 00:25:43,083
This is clearly a significant moment.
463
00:25:43,583 --> 00:25:46,920
I could see the policemen
coming all of a sudden from all over.
464
00:25:47,003 --> 00:25:48,421
I could hear the sirens.
465
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:52,384
And I yelled to them and said,
"Stop the policemen from coming."
466
00:25:52,467 --> 00:25:55,345
"I'm all set.
No, don't let everyone come in."
467
00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:57,639
[Evans] Yeah, we don't want
too much help here, okay?
468
00:25:57,722 --> 00:25:59,975
I knew it would make for a chaotic scene.
469
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:06,940
[officer] Watertown control to cars,
do not approach the boat.
470
00:26:07,023 --> 00:26:08,567
Set up a perimeter.
471
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:12,070
[Evans] When the whole world
is basically waiting five days to get him,
472
00:26:12,153 --> 00:26:14,489
you can imagine
the police response at that time,
473
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:16,449
and that's what I had
a hard time controlling.
474
00:26:16,533 --> 00:26:17,909
[man] There's more coming in.
475
00:26:17,993 --> 00:26:20,412
[Evans] When we got
the situation calmed down,
476
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:21,663
it was nice and quiet.
477
00:26:23,456 --> 00:26:24,708
And then, all of a sudden...
478
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:29,129
[gunfire]
479
00:26:30,672 --> 00:26:33,008
[distant sirens wailing]
480
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:35,093
[gunfire crackling]
481
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:39,139
[gunfire continues]
482
00:26:41,975 --> 00:26:44,215
- [man] That's gunfire. That's gunfire.
- That's gunfire.
483
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:45,520
Hearing that?
484
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,606
[gunfire continues]
485
00:26:49,524 --> 00:26:51,151
Everyone's diving for the ground.
486
00:26:53,194 --> 00:26:54,821
You know, I didn't know who fired first.
487
00:26:54,904 --> 00:26:57,198
All I know is
I had to get the fire to stop
488
00:26:57,282 --> 00:26:59,659
before we killed
the individual in the boat.
489
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:02,746
Billy is on the mic
screaming at everybody.
490
00:27:02,829 --> 00:27:04,664
"Hold your fire. Hold your fire."
491
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:07,542
[Evans] Everyone hold their fire!
Hold their fire!
492
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,836
[officer] All units,
hold your fire. Hold your fire.
493
00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:13,465
[Evans] Everybody hold until we have
the tactical here. All right?
494
00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:15,467
It was initially reported as a shootout.
495
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:17,969
Of course, we now know
that it was a shoot-in.
496
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:20,847
- I think over 100 shots impacted the boat.
- [camera clicking]
497
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,683
[Martin] A hundred and twenty-six rounds,
498
00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:26,353
not counting the bullets
that missed the boat.
499
00:27:26,436 --> 00:27:29,272
They were going everywhere,
all over the neighborhood.
500
00:27:29,356 --> 00:27:32,734
A lot of this was coming
from officers who were not authorized
501
00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:34,527
to even be in the area,
502
00:27:34,611 --> 00:27:37,947
who weren't even authorized
to be part of this task force,
503
00:27:38,031 --> 00:27:40,825
but had inserted themselves
into the scene.
504
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:44,120
When the officers arrived
at 67 Franklin Street,
505
00:27:44,204 --> 00:27:46,665
some of them thought they saw
Dzhokhar pointing a gun at them.
506
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:47,748
I think what happened
507
00:27:47,791 --> 00:27:50,085
was one officer fired,
everyone starts to fire.
508
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:53,463
There were things
that happened at the first shootout
509
00:27:53,546 --> 00:27:57,050
and then at the boat
that sort of point out the need
510
00:27:57,133 --> 00:28:03,181
for command and control of various
assets from various police departments,
511
00:28:03,264 --> 00:28:06,351
so that there can be
a really coordinated response.
512
00:28:06,434 --> 00:28:08,103
Those were lessons that we learned.
513
00:28:08,186 --> 00:28:10,289
[reporter] Shots were fired,
we clearly know that now,
514
00:28:10,313 --> 00:28:13,900
and that the suspect is down.
That is the word from police.
515
00:28:13,983 --> 00:28:18,029
Now, whether or not that suspect
is deceased at this point, we do not know.
516
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:19,280
We wanted him alive.
517
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:20,448
There's a process in place,
518
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,326
and bringing them to justice,
and... And having answers.
519
00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:26,079
I was extremely disappointed
because I really wanted to get
520
00:28:26,162 --> 00:28:27,914
an interrogation on this guy.
521
00:28:27,997 --> 00:28:30,226
You can't understand
whether it was a broader conspiracy,
522
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:33,169
who financed this operation,
by interviewing a corpse.
523
00:28:33,253 --> 00:28:34,796
We didn't know if he was dead or not.
524
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,177
[Foley] The state police helicopter,
525
00:28:41,261 --> 00:28:44,305
they have FLIR,
forward-looking infrared, on.
526
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:48,643
They're infrared cameras
that will pick up a heat, a stamp,
527
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,061
and give you an image.
528
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:53,440
At this point, I was in the command post.
It was pretty dramatic.
529
00:28:53,523 --> 00:28:56,818
You could see the thermal image
of Dzhokhar lying inside the boat.
530
00:28:56,901 --> 00:28:59,863
There was also a live feed
that was going on,
531
00:28:59,946 --> 00:29:01,948
and so we were able to observe this.
532
00:29:02,031 --> 00:29:04,909
I was glued to the television set.
533
00:29:04,993 --> 00:29:07,078
We were watching the news for so long.
534
00:29:07,162 --> 00:29:11,583
The claustrophobia, the tension,
it was a lot to deal with.
535
00:29:11,666 --> 00:29:14,377
The world was watching this live.
536
00:29:14,461 --> 00:29:17,464
[reporter] Farah, you're here.
I know you're working your sources.
537
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:19,924
Tell our viewers
what you're learning right now.
538
00:29:20,008 --> 00:29:24,137
Hundreds of law enforcement officers
who have zeroed in on a man
539
00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:25,638
they believe is the suspect.
540
00:29:25,722 --> 00:29:26,931
They have him cornered.
541
00:29:27,015 --> 00:29:29,225
They have a visual,
they can see what he's doing.
542
00:29:29,309 --> 00:29:31,102
We're told to be on standby
543
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:34,147
because clearly
this could be the big moment.
544
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:36,232
[helicopter whirring]
545
00:29:39,861 --> 00:29:42,280
I still didn't know if he was still alive.
546
00:29:42,363 --> 00:29:44,365
[intense music playing]
547
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:53,750
[officer 1] Tango 9'er 3B.
State police air wing tells me
548
00:29:53,833 --> 00:29:56,628
that there's definitely...
There's definitely movement in the boat.
549
00:29:57,337 --> 00:29:59,631
[officer 2] All right,
there's movement in the boat.
550
00:29:59,714 --> 00:30:02,842
The key thing was,
the helicopter pilot said,
551
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:05,006
"We've got movement.
We've got movement in the boat."
552
00:30:05,053 --> 00:30:06,763
[officer 3] HRT moving up, left side.
553
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,351
[Foley] The tactical team
had a BearCat armored vehicle on scene.
554
00:30:12,852 --> 00:30:15,772
It was used to approach the boat
555
00:30:15,855 --> 00:30:17,899
and to pull back the tarp,
556
00:30:18,608 --> 00:30:21,277
which gave the operators better vantage,
557
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:24,322
but also gave him an opportunity
558
00:30:24,405 --> 00:30:27,659
to stand up and give up
if that's what he wanted to do.
559
00:30:27,742 --> 00:30:29,744
[intense music playing]
560
00:30:31,037 --> 00:30:35,166
The FBI hostage recovery team director
came up to me, and he says,
561
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:37,418
"We're gonna throw
a smoke grenade in the boat."
562
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,213
"Are you okay with that?"
And I said, "Sure."
563
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:43,383
[explosion]
564
00:30:43,967 --> 00:30:45,647
It didn't work.
Then he came back and said,
565
00:30:45,718 --> 00:30:47,804
"We're gonna throw
a flash-bang in that boat."
566
00:30:47,887 --> 00:30:49,931
I said, "Yeah."
He says, "The only problem is
567
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:52,517
there's 45 gallons of gasoline
in that boat."
568
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,645
He said, "We're liable
to blow up the house and everything."
569
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:57,939
He says,
"We're going to need a fire engine."
570
00:30:58,022 --> 00:31:00,608
[officer] Fire's coming down Walnut.
Fire's coming down Walnut.
571
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:04,153
[reporter] We're now being pushed back
by law enforcement with force,
572
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:06,489
trailing back a little bit
behind a dumpster.
573
00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:08,157
[helicopter flying]
574
00:31:08,241 --> 00:31:09,284
[explosions]
575
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:11,828
[reporter] Erin, there's been
a series of eight explosions.
576
00:31:11,911 --> 00:31:15,081
That could be these flash-bang grenades
that John King was talking about.
577
00:31:15,164 --> 00:31:19,669
We didn't have an explosion of the boat,
and that didn't work to get him out.
578
00:31:21,170 --> 00:31:22,547
It was like this.
579
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:25,049
You were on pins and needles,
as I was watching.
580
00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:27,635
- [helicopter whirring]
- [sirens wailing]
581
00:31:33,808 --> 00:31:35,226
They negotiated with him.
582
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:39,731
They got him to sit up.
583
00:31:39,814 --> 00:31:41,816
[dramatic music playing]
584
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:46,571
[Foley]
He's standing.
585
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,037
They're asking him to lift his shirt.
586
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:58,458
Doesn't appear to be armed.
587
00:32:00,793 --> 00:32:02,545
Is this really going to happen?
588
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:04,756
[radio static crackles]
589
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:10,094
[officer] He's in custody.
He's in custody.
590
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:13,222
[Evans] Metro SWAT took command.
591
00:32:13,306 --> 00:32:15,058
Subject in custody.
592
00:32:15,141 --> 00:32:17,310
[officer] Subject in custody.
Subject in custody.
593
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:20,355
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
594
00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:22,106
[uplifting music playing]
595
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:28,029
"In custody."
It was the best words I ever heard.
596
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:30,198
You could hear people just clapping.
597
00:32:30,281 --> 00:32:32,033
[Evans] Great job. Good job, gentlemen.
598
00:32:32,116 --> 00:32:35,078
The radio, everyone, "Yeah!"
Everyone's screaming, "Yeah!"
599
00:32:37,288 --> 00:32:40,625
I was so worried
that we had the wrong guy in that boat.
600
00:32:40,708 --> 00:32:42,043
And I'll always remember
601
00:32:42,126 --> 00:32:45,713
when the leader of the HR team
came by to me, I looked up at him...
602
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:48,424
And he's very intimidating
for a scrawny guy like me...
603
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:51,344
I says, "Is that our guy?"
And he went like this.
604
00:32:51,427 --> 00:32:53,763
"100% it's our guy." Just like that.
And I...
605
00:32:54,347 --> 00:32:56,683
The blood rolled out of my whole system.
606
00:32:56,766 --> 00:33:00,687
That was one of the most
profoundly satisfying moments
607
00:33:00,770 --> 00:33:02,480
of my law enforcement career,
608
00:33:02,563 --> 00:33:04,607
was seeing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev arrested.
609
00:33:05,108 --> 00:33:07,652
[reporter] Good evening.
The tweet just came from Boston Police,
610
00:33:07,735 --> 00:33:08,903
and it reads in all caps,
611
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:13,032
"Captured! The hunt is over.
Suspect in custody."
612
00:33:13,116 --> 00:33:16,244
There might be residual things going on.
We've got to do investigations.
613
00:33:16,327 --> 00:33:18,207
We got to find out
who else is involved in this.
614
00:33:18,287 --> 00:33:20,707
But this unbelievable manhunt
615
00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:23,793
that we've been going through
for four days is now over.
616
00:33:23,876 --> 00:33:24,794
We've got him.
617
00:33:24,877 --> 00:33:26,587
[smattering of applause]

[siren chirps]
620
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:34,554
[Davis] It was 101 hours
to run these guys down.
621
00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:42,061
We drove out of the cordoned-off area
into the streets of Watertown,
622
00:33:42,145 --> 00:33:45,857
and the people were screaming, waving.
623
00:33:46,774 --> 00:33:49,527
I feel like we just liberated Paris
in World War II.
624
00:33:49,610 --> 00:33:54,282
There were people clapping and cheering.
It was like a parade.
625
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:56,451

[Ortiz] There were all these people...
628
00:34:05,835 --> 00:34:07,170
lining up the street.
629
00:34:07,253 --> 00:34:08,755
[voice breaking] I felt so patriotic.
630
00:34:08,838 --> 00:34:11,966
I felt so part of this country
and part of what makes it good.
631
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,052
[crowd] USA! USA!
632
00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:16,971
[DesLauriers] It was a very emotional,
emotional experience for me
633
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:19,932
to see people
pouring out of the buildings,
634
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:22,560
waving American flags,
thanking law enforcement.
635
00:34:22,643 --> 00:34:25,813
And it was just...
To this day, it brings tears to my eyes.
636
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:29,692
I think this is a great closure,
just to end it with him in custody,
637
00:34:29,776 --> 00:34:31,486
and everything at ease for right now.
638
00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:33,946
Relief. We can sleep well tonight.
639
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:38,242
It's a victory for peace.
It's a victory for love, for the country.
640
00:34:38,326 --> 00:34:40,536
It's a victory for all of us, for Boston.
641
00:34:40,620 --> 00:34:44,624
Boston, baby! Boston strong!
Nothing can tear us down!
642
00:34:44,707 --> 00:34:46,000
Boston, baby!

00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:49,545
Students are coming out of the dorms.
They're marching in the streets.

00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:51,714

[DesLauriers] Today, the city of Boston,
the city of Cambridge,
648
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:07,396
and the city of Watertown
can breathe a sigh of relief,
649
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,818
knowing that two perpetrators
who caused so much pain and anguish
650
00:35:11,901 --> 00:35:14,278
are no longer a threat
to our personal safety
651
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:15,822
and to our communities.
652
00:35:15,905 --> 00:35:20,034
At the time, we read the heading
that said, "Body found on boat."
653
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:22,703
So we thought he was dead.
654
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:27,375
So, we're walking down the street.

Our friend just died.
658
00:35:36,425 --> 00:35:40,513
Then a guy on a bike, he's like,
"Hey, did you guys hear?"

And we flip the fuck out on him.

"Get the fuck away from..."
Like, "Leave us alone, you..."
661

And his face of just pure
and utter confusion.
662
00:35:55,403 --> 00:35:57,029
We met up with a few other friends,
663
00:35:57,113 --> 00:35:59,198
and that's when we found out that he was...
664
00:36:00,116 --> 00:36:02,535
He was captured instead of killed.

00:36:20,553 --> 00:36:23,931
I remember coming into headquarters
the following morning,
667
00:36:24,015 --> 00:36:26,017
and Commissioner Davis called us down
668
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,895
and he said, "Oh, come on,
we're gonna go up to Fenway Park."
669
00:36:28,978 --> 00:36:32,064
You know, they want to do
a little tribute up there.
670
00:36:32,148 --> 00:36:34,775
[David Ortiz] All right.
All right, Boston.
671
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:36,861
[crowd cheering]
672
00:36:39,822 --> 00:36:46,329
This jersey that we wear today,
it doesn't say Red Sox. It say Boston.
673
00:36:46,412 --> 00:36:47,997
[crowd cheering]
674
00:36:50,249 --> 00:36:52,793
[David Ortiz] We want to thank
the whole police department
675
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:55,588
for the great job
that they did this past week.
676
00:36:57,006 --> 00:36:58,758
This is our fucking city.
677
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:01,719
[cheering and applause]
678
00:37:02,637 --> 00:37:04,513
And nobody gonna dictate our freedom.
679
00:37:06,015 --> 00:37:08,309
Stay strong. Thank you.
680
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:13,105
When Big Papi said, "The F-word our city,"
as vulgar as that term was,
681
00:37:13,189 --> 00:37:16,359
I think, you know,
it was a release of a lot of tension
682
00:37:16,442 --> 00:37:17,818
for the whole city at that moment.
683
00:37:18,527 --> 00:37:21,697
The whole "Boston Strong" thing
wasn't a gimmick, it was real.
684
00:37:21,781 --> 00:37:23,950
If you were living here at the time,
it was very real.
685
00:37:24,033 --> 00:37:25,868
[suspenseful music playing]
686
00:37:26,535 --> 00:37:30,122
Even though we had arrested Dzhokhar,
the investigation was just beginning.
687
00:37:30,831 --> 00:37:33,334
[Swindon] We needed
to start to figure out the why.
688
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:35,503
Who they were, what they were doing,
689
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:36,963
who their associates were.
690
00:37:37,046 --> 00:37:38,965
We need to establish a pattern of life.
691
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:42,468
[DesLauriers] Shortly after
Dzhokhar was arrested,
692
00:37:42,510 --> 00:37:45,137
he was treated for his injuries
by medical personnel.
693
00:37:45,221 --> 00:37:47,682
As soon as he was able
to be questioned, he was,
694
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:51,018
by the FBI's high-value
interrogation group.
695
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:54,272
[Ortiz] They were going to question him.
He was not going to be Mirandized
696
00:37:54,355 --> 00:37:56,107
or given a lawyer right away.
697
00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:59,026
That does happen,
especially in terrorism cases.
698
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:04,365
Part of the Patriot Act allows
this interrogation team to question people
699
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:09,287
outside of the regular constitutional
protections that a citizen has,
700
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:12,081
especially when dealing
with an ongoing terrorist event.
701
00:38:12,748 --> 00:38:15,751
[Ortiz] Dzhokhar was not able to talk
because of his injuries,
702
00:38:16,419 --> 00:38:19,130
so he had to write
some responses down, as I recall.
703
00:38:20,631 --> 00:38:23,175
That's a judgment
by the United States attorney's office
704
00:38:23,259 --> 00:38:25,261
as to when you have
to read his Miranda Rights.
705
00:38:26,387 --> 00:38:29,056
[Ortiz] Even when individuals
may ask to see a lawyer,
706
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:33,019
the questioning can continue
as long as you are justified in doing so.
707
00:38:36,397 --> 00:38:38,357
But you have only so much time
708
00:38:38,441 --> 00:38:41,861
you can hold on to someone
without processing them.
709
00:38:41,944 --> 00:38:43,696
[DesLauriers] We searched the boat.
710
00:38:43,779 --> 00:38:47,033
Every little bit of evidence at that point
was of critical importance to us.
711
00:38:47,783 --> 00:38:50,328
What we found inside there
was jihadi manifesto
712
00:38:50,411 --> 00:38:54,457
that Dzhokhar had written inside the boat,
which was one of our first clues
713
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:58,377
that these individuals had been inspired
by radical terrorist beliefs
714
00:38:58,461 --> 00:39:00,963
and had been radicalized
at some point in the past.
715
00:39:02,965 --> 00:39:04,967
We needed to know
whether there were collaborators
716
00:39:05,051 --> 00:39:06,677
that helped construct these bombs.
717
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:10,723
The evidence that was on his computer
718
00:39:10,806 --> 00:39:13,809
included things
like editions of Inspire magazine,
719
00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:16,812
which was a known terrorist's publication.
720
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:20,066
Directions on how to make a bomb
in the kitchen of your mom.
721
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,818
Inspire magazine is the magazine...
722
00:39:22,902 --> 00:39:24,403
The official magazine of Al-Qaeda.
723
00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:27,758
[DesLauriers] He was interviewed
for two or three days,
724
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:30,326
but in the end
it did not yield much information.
725
00:39:30,409 --> 00:39:33,329
And then he was subsequently
read his Miranda Rights.
726
00:39:33,412 --> 00:39:35,664
But we also were taking a look
at many individuals
727
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:37,124
who were their friends.
728
00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:39,710
[Youssef] The FBI came down on everybody,
729
00:39:39,794 --> 00:39:42,296
but I know they specifically targeted
730
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:46,258
my Muslim peers way more
than any other demographic.
731
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:49,470
I was interrogated for, like, eight hours.
732
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,764
I was 19, I was terrified.
733
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:54,683
My life was on the line.
I knew it. They knew it.
734
00:39:55,434 --> 00:39:59,146
It felt like we were guilty
and had to prove our innocence.
735
00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,524
I think it's time for profiling, though,
don't you, Ange?
736
00:40:01,607 --> 00:40:04,568
I think it's time for profiling
because the profile has been
737
00:40:04,652 --> 00:40:07,613
Middle Eastern Muslims
who have blown people up
738
00:40:07,696 --> 00:40:10,658
or attempted to blow people up
over the last 15 years.
739
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:14,620
Many terrorists are Muslims,
and we'd be foolish not to look
740
00:40:14,703 --> 00:40:17,081
at this phenomenon and get ready for it.
741
00:40:17,164 --> 00:40:20,292
My worst fears became reality.
742
00:40:20,876 --> 00:40:25,005
Not only was it a Muslim
that committed that appalling act,
743
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:29,218
but also someone I know
and someone who had come to the mosque.
744
00:40:29,301 --> 00:40:34,515
It was a moment of, to be honest,
of... of profound despair.
745
00:40:36,892 --> 00:40:39,979
Later on, we found out
that the youngest brother's roommate
746
00:40:40,062 --> 00:40:42,481
had recognized his picture on the news.
747
00:40:42,982 --> 00:40:45,067
They were working to get rid of evidence.
748
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:49,328
[DesLauriers] They had
some explosive evidence
749
00:40:49,363 --> 00:40:52,116
that they had disposed of
in a garbage dump.
750
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:56,036
And we actually recovered that evidence,
and that evidence was used as the basis
751
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,998
to charge these two individuals
with obstruction of justice.
752
00:40:59,081 --> 00:41:02,460
Once they knew they did it
and they've seen their photos out there,
753
00:41:02,543 --> 00:41:05,004
they should have stepped up
and came forward.
754
00:41:05,087 --> 00:41:07,882
If they had,
Officer Collier would still be alive.
755
00:41:08,382 --> 00:41:12,011
[Ortiz] Despite the fact that some
of his friends had lied to the FBI,
756
00:41:12,094 --> 00:41:16,223
we got the impression that this was just
the two of them that were involved.
757
00:41:16,307 --> 00:41:20,811
That they made the bombs locally,
put them together in Tamerlan's kitchen.
758
00:41:20,895 --> 00:41:22,646
I do not believe for one minute
759
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:26,358
that these bombs were made
by looking on the Internet.
760
00:41:26,859 --> 00:41:29,028
I believe they had help,
and I don't know who,
761
00:41:29,111 --> 00:41:32,156
but it is very difficult
to construct this type of device
762
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:37,661
and have both of them go off flawlessly
in close proximity with remote detonators.
763
00:41:38,579 --> 00:41:39,955
[Foley] I think some people think
764
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:42,249
there's some grand conspiracy
that something was missed.
765
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:44,585
But there wasn't,
and this happens all the time.
766
00:41:44,668 --> 00:41:45,753
There are lone wolves.
767
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:48,631
This is not amateur hour.
768
00:41:48,714 --> 00:41:51,091
These were professional explosive devices,
769
00:41:51,175 --> 00:41:56,096
and the IED defeat team in Afghanistan
agreed with my assessment of that.
770
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:59,725
We determined that the bombers
were lone-wolf extremists
771
00:41:59,808 --> 00:42:04,730
who had been inspired by reading
Anwar al-Awlaki's Inspire magazine,
772
00:42:04,813 --> 00:42:07,149
which meant
to perpetrate jihad across the world.
773
00:42:09,485 --> 00:42:12,154
[Fenni] Whenever I hear
somebody speak about jihad
774
00:42:13,155 --> 00:42:18,160
in the connotation
of killing someone, I cringe.
775
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:21,539
Jihad, the Arabic word for "jihad,"
means to struggle.
776
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,668
You struggle to get a good life.
That's jihad.
777
00:42:26,460 --> 00:42:29,922
You struggle to be an honest person.
That's jihad.
778
00:42:30,923 --> 00:42:34,718
You struggle to be a good,
religious person. That's jihad.
779
00:42:35,594 --> 00:42:36,887
Jihad is not...
780
00:42:38,639 --> 00:42:44,770
picking up a gun or making a bomb
and killing innocent people.
781
00:42:44,853 --> 00:42:46,689
[ominous music playing]
782
00:42:48,190 --> 00:42:50,109
[distant sirens wailing]
783
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:54,071
[Martin] A few weeks after the bombing
and its resolution,
784
00:42:54,154 --> 00:42:59,743
police and the FBI were interviewing
a fellow named Ibragim Todashev.
785
00:43:00,411 --> 00:43:02,997
He was friends with Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
786
00:43:03,497 --> 00:43:06,041
also Chechen and a mixed martial artist.
787
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:10,588
He supposedly confessed
to killing three men,
788
00:43:10,671 --> 00:43:14,550
including Brendan Mess
on September 11th, 2011.
789
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:19,346
Brendan Mess was best friends
with Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
790
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:22,391
They knew each other
from mixed martial arts.
791
00:43:23,225 --> 00:43:26,812
During this confession
in Todashev's apartment,
792
00:43:26,895 --> 00:43:29,023
something very strange happens.
793
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:32,735
The FBI and the state police say
that he rushed them.
794
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,698
They subsequently shot
Ibragim Todashev several times.
795
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,828
A lot of people had
suspicions about the story.
796
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:45,748
I think they just shot him.
He didn't do nothing.
797
00:43:45,831 --> 00:43:48,959
He... I know him.
He... He just wanted everything to be over.
798
00:43:49,543 --> 00:43:53,714
The story became more complex
and problematic, if you will,
799
00:43:54,214 --> 00:43:57,259
when it was determined
that Ibragim Todashev confessed
800
00:43:57,343 --> 00:44:02,222
to killing these three men
in concert with Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
801
00:44:04,433 --> 00:44:07,770
I think the chronology of it
is important to recognize.
802
00:44:07,853 --> 00:44:12,274
Brendan Mess was murdered
inside his apartment
803
00:44:12,358 --> 00:44:15,194
after Tamerlan found out
that he wasn't going to be able
804
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:17,279
to go to the Olympic trials.
805
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:22,034
There was no signs of a forced entry,
which means that whoever did it to them,
806
00:44:22,117 --> 00:44:24,078
they must have known them.
They let them in.
807
00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:25,788
The way these guys were killed,
808
00:44:25,871 --> 00:44:28,540
nearly decapitated
is how it was described,
809
00:44:28,624 --> 00:44:29,708
this was personal.
810
00:44:31,543 --> 00:44:34,672
Jewish friend,
he's living the American dream.
811
00:44:35,381 --> 00:44:38,342
He's got all the opportunities.
He didn't have to work. He's rich as hell.
812
00:44:38,425 --> 00:44:40,511
And these things
are happening to Tamerlan,
813
00:44:40,594 --> 00:44:43,097
and he doesn't have
the same opportunities.
814
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:44,807
[no audio]
815
00:44:44,890 --> 00:44:46,809
[DesLauriers]
My understanding was that Tamerlan
816
00:44:46,892 --> 00:44:47,893
was involved in that.
817
00:44:47,976 --> 00:44:49,186
There were drugs involved.
818
00:44:49,269 --> 00:44:51,647
But I can't really comment
on that too much.
819
00:44:51,730 --> 00:44:54,900
[Davis] The homicide investigation
in Waltham is still open.
820
00:44:54,983 --> 00:44:56,985
That bothered me.
It bothers me to this day.
821
00:44:57,069 --> 00:45:00,072
There's a lot of unanswered questions
about this whole thing.
822
00:45:00,739 --> 00:45:03,075
[DesLauriers] Shortly after
the triple homicide in Waltham,
823
00:45:03,158 --> 00:45:06,829
our understanding is Tamerlan Tsarnaev
had travelled over to Dagestan
824
00:45:06,912 --> 00:45:09,665
and had engaged in some
radicalization activities over there.
825
00:45:10,666 --> 00:45:14,586
And we believe that was
one of the pillars of the radicalization.
826
00:45:15,337 --> 00:45:19,717
Whatever happened while he was there
must have had profound effects on him
827
00:45:20,801 --> 00:45:22,553
because when he came back,
828
00:45:22,636 --> 00:45:25,723
we know he started to plan
and execute the Boston bombing.
829
00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:28,600
[ominous music playing]
830
00:45:31,937 --> 00:45:34,857
[Filipov] In the summer of 2012,
Tamerlan goes to Dagestan
831
00:45:34,940 --> 00:45:38,318
to get closer to his historic roots
and also to his faith.
832
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:44,324
As a reporter, that means
that the story's going to be back there.
833
00:45:46,410 --> 00:45:48,370
You want to tell people
what's actually happening.
834
00:45:48,412 --> 00:45:50,664
You want to make sure
that people understand.
835
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:52,875
Don't go by generalizations
and stereotypes.
836
00:45:52,958 --> 00:45:54,668
Here's exactly what's going on.
837
00:45:57,045 --> 00:46:00,632
I spent two months in Chechnya,
Dagestan and Kyrgyzstan.
838
00:46:00,716 --> 00:46:02,342
I'm trying to find people who knew them,
839
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:06,221
people who might have been around
when Tamerlan was there.
840
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:11,143
He meets up with young Muslims
who are in this movement,
841
00:46:11,226 --> 00:46:12,644
the Union of the Just.
842
00:46:13,395 --> 00:46:15,272
[intense music playing]
843
00:46:16,023 --> 00:46:17,316
[laughing]
844
00:46:19,693 --> 00:46:21,153
[man, in Arabic] Peace be unto you!
845
00:46:21,236 --> 00:46:23,989
You see the result of bullying
by the Makhachkala brothers
846
00:46:24,490 --> 00:46:28,994
toward their brother
who has come here from America.
847
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:30,237
[man, in Arabic] This is him.
848
00:46:30,287 --> 00:46:32,748
And also toward
the Jamaat of Kizlyar, represented by...
849
00:46:32,831 --> 00:46:35,435
[Filipov in English] I hung out
with these guys, and I can tell you
850
00:46:35,459 --> 00:46:37,019
they go to beaches,
they have barbecues,
851
00:46:37,044 --> 00:46:39,087
they go to the mosque, they talk a lot.
852
00:46:40,422 --> 00:46:42,424
But the things they say
are no more radical
853
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:44,426
than anything you hear anywhere.
854
00:46:46,011 --> 00:46:47,731
[in Arabic]
We call for what is approved of,
855
00:46:47,805 --> 00:46:49,431
and forbid what is disapproved of.
856
00:46:49,515 --> 00:46:52,559
And I remind you
to get on the path of truth.
857
00:46:52,643 --> 00:46:54,353
[man] This is just abuse!
858
00:46:54,853 --> 00:46:56,605
Allahu Akbar!
859
00:46:56,688 --> 00:46:58,649
[Filipov in English]
It's not a militant group.
860
00:46:58,732 --> 00:47:00,234
[foreboding music playing]
861
00:47:02,236 --> 00:47:06,824
So I'm trying to confirm or deny
any contacts between Tamerlan
862
00:47:06,907 --> 00:47:09,743
and any of the recruiters
for the actual militants.
863
00:47:10,285 --> 00:47:14,164
Somebody took me as far as you could go.
Somebody pointed the path from there.
864
00:47:15,958 --> 00:47:18,752
I walked up there
and ran into this group of people.
865
00:47:19,962 --> 00:47:23,298
And no, they had no clue.
866
00:47:23,382 --> 00:47:24,550
[camera clicks]
867
00:47:24,633 --> 00:47:28,387
We don't find that moment
where he's sitting there, going,
868
00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:31,306
"Hey, you know what?
Let's... Let's kill innocent people."
869
00:47:31,390 --> 00:47:35,102
This probably wasn't something
he decided when he went to Dagestan.
870
00:47:35,185 --> 00:47:37,980
I think he went to Dagestan
trying to find meaning.
871
00:47:38,981 --> 00:47:40,315
He's got these doubts.
872
00:47:40,399 --> 00:47:43,026
He's failed to make it
onto the Olympic team.
873
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:45,279
He blames anti-Muslim sentiment,
874
00:47:45,362 --> 00:47:47,990
so he's trying to get closer
to what it is to be a Muslim,
875
00:47:48,073 --> 00:47:49,741
and what can he make of his life.
876
00:47:49,825 --> 00:47:52,578
But he doesn't get his militancy there.
877
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:56,790
That moment comes
when you come back to the States.
878
00:47:56,874 --> 00:47:59,459
And it didn't change your life,
and it didn't change anything,
879
00:47:59,543 --> 00:48:01,044
and you're not in a better place.
880
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:05,007
The deeper the brothers get into Islam,
881
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:08,552
the more they start to associate it
with their own failure
882
00:48:08,635 --> 00:48:11,722
and with what's happening overseas,
883
00:48:11,805 --> 00:48:13,140
where, at this point,
884
00:48:13,223 --> 00:48:16,351
the US is fighting two wars
in predominantly Muslim countries.
885
00:48:17,144 --> 00:48:19,897
You know, if you go by the thing
that Dzhokhar wrote in the boat,
886
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:23,525
he's blaming
the US policy against Muslims.
887
00:48:24,359 --> 00:48:25,402
And that's what I wrote.
888
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:30,991
A lot of people were really upset
because to some it looked like
889
00:48:31,074 --> 00:48:35,913
by making them look like people,
we were somehow rationalizing away
890
00:48:35,996 --> 00:48:39,583
or, I don't know,
justifying or giving him a pass.
891
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,503
I got an email.
892
00:48:43,587 --> 00:48:47,174
"I hope that you or someone you love
893
00:48:47,257 --> 00:48:51,094
gets killed by Islamic terrorists,
so that you know how it feels."
894
00:48:51,178 --> 00:48:54,222
I know exactly how it feels
when somebody you love
895
00:48:54,306 --> 00:48:55,933
is killed by Islamic terrorists.
896
00:48:56,016 --> 00:48:59,519
My dad was on the first plane
that went into the World Trade Center.
897
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,648
And the thing about that one is,
898
00:49:02,731 --> 00:49:04,942
every September 11th
you get to watch that plane
899
00:49:05,025 --> 00:49:07,444
flying into the building
again and again and again.
900
00:49:07,527 --> 00:49:09,321
How many times do you have to see that?
901
00:49:09,404 --> 00:49:13,825
How many times do you have to watch
your father blow up dead?
902
00:49:14,326 --> 00:49:18,330
We're never going to, in any of this,
try to justify what they did
903
00:49:18,413 --> 00:49:20,332
by saying they had a rough time.
904
00:49:20,832 --> 00:49:23,710
But these people
were not born marathon bombers.
905
00:49:23,794 --> 00:49:25,045
They became them.
906
00:49:25,629 --> 00:49:27,381
That is the truth. That's the story.
907
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:29,466
[ominous music playing]
908
00:49:33,387 --> 00:49:35,347
[sirens blaring]
909
00:49:46,775 --> 00:49:49,361
[Martin] I covered the trial
from beginning to end.
910
00:49:51,738 --> 00:49:54,908
There was no doubt that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
would be found guilty.
911
00:49:54,992 --> 00:49:58,745
What was really at stake
during the trial was the death penalty.
912
00:50:00,956 --> 00:50:04,584
The alternative sentence
was life in maximum security.
913
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:06,878
[helicopter whirring]
914
00:50:06,962 --> 00:50:10,799
[Karen] I did testify,
and I did want to testify,
915
00:50:10,882 --> 00:50:13,135
and I also did an impact statement.
916
00:50:13,218 --> 00:50:17,389
I thought it was really, really important
that I do that for Krystle.
917
00:50:19,099 --> 00:50:22,602
I really felt like
I wanted to be that voice.
918
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:25,272
[indistinct police radio chatter]
919
00:50:28,567 --> 00:50:30,736
[Martin] When Dzhokhar
came into the court,
920
00:50:30,819 --> 00:50:35,449
a lot of reporters reported
that he looked arrogant and aloof.
921
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:42,414
I interpret it as resignation.
He seemed resigned to his fate.
922
00:50:43,665 --> 00:50:46,877
[Kevin] And I'll tell you,
when I looked at him, I saw the devil.
923
00:50:47,377 --> 00:50:51,882
He screwed up his eye,
and it just looked like the devil.
924
00:50:51,965 --> 00:50:53,341
It was, like, red. It was scary.
925
00:50:53,425 --> 00:50:57,095
He would look right at you.
He'd stare right at you.
926
00:50:57,679 --> 00:50:59,222
It was hard. It was really hard.
927
00:51:00,724 --> 00:51:03,518
Listening to some of the survivors,
what they had gone through
928
00:51:03,602 --> 00:51:06,188
and what they would need
to live with the rest of their life...
929
00:51:08,815 --> 00:51:11,985
That definitely stays with me
from the trial.
930
00:51:13,945 --> 00:51:16,114
I think the defense tried to portray
931
00:51:16,198 --> 00:51:19,868
that his brother,
who was older, was domineering
932
00:51:20,452 --> 00:51:24,539
and had an intense,
potentially violent personality,
933
00:51:24,623 --> 00:51:26,958
and that he had succumbed
to his older brother.
934
00:51:27,042 --> 00:51:30,837
He did this because his brother
was forcing him to do it.
935
00:51:30,921 --> 00:51:32,923
He could have been influenced
by his brother.
936
00:51:33,006 --> 00:51:38,470
I think that he felt maybe sometimes
he couldn't say no to his brother,
937
00:51:38,553 --> 00:51:42,307
but he chose to put
that backpack near those children.
938
00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:44,518
His brother was not there saying,
939
00:51:44,601 --> 00:51:46,895
"You have to put that
right there near those kids."
940
00:51:47,687 --> 00:51:51,775
And when you blow up a young family
like the Richards and hurt Lingzi Lu
941
00:51:51,858 --> 00:51:56,238
and the Campbell girl and Sean,
there's no excuse for that.
942
00:51:56,321 --> 00:51:59,241
Don't blame that
on your brother radicalizing you.
943
00:51:59,324 --> 00:52:01,409
I think for me, what indicated
944
00:52:01,493 --> 00:52:06,706
that he knew what he was doing
and that he had the willingness to do it
945
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:10,043
was not only viewing
how he placed that bomb
946
00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:13,880
and walked away from it in time
to himself not get hurt...
947
00:52:16,508 --> 00:52:19,386
but that shortly after that,
that same afternoon,
948
00:52:19,469 --> 00:52:23,098
there were videos of him
shopping at a Whole Foods
949
00:52:23,181 --> 00:52:25,058
like nothing had just happened.
950
00:52:27,102 --> 00:52:31,982
And then after the murder of Sean Collier
and kidnapping Danny Meng,
951
00:52:32,065 --> 00:52:37,612
there's a video of him
getting snacks at the Shell station. Calm.
952
00:52:39,865 --> 00:52:41,116
Just calm.
953
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:43,952
There were two things that happened
during the trial that I think
954
00:52:44,035 --> 00:52:46,788
probably led people to believe
that he would get the death penalty.
955
00:52:46,872 --> 00:52:51,418
One was the image widely circulated
by Carmen Ortiz's office
956
00:52:51,501 --> 00:52:57,966
supposedly showing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
giving a finger to the camera in his cell,
957
00:52:58,049 --> 00:53:01,928
which was interpreted as giving a finger
to the people of Boston.
958
00:53:02,012 --> 00:53:04,931
And then prosecutors
certainly phrased it that way.
959
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:09,394
The other was the judge
deciding not to allow into evidence
960
00:53:09,477 --> 00:53:14,065
connection to the Waltham killings
of Tamerlan's best friend years earlier.
961
00:53:14,691 --> 00:53:17,819
The defense felt that by connecting it
to the Waltham killings,
962
00:53:17,903 --> 00:53:20,405
you could show that someone
who was that ruthless,
963
00:53:20,488 --> 00:53:23,783
who would just slit his best friend's
throat, would do anything,
964
00:53:23,867 --> 00:53:26,870
and that his brother
was under his influence.
965
00:53:26,953 --> 00:53:30,624
That was disallowed.
That was a huge blow to the defense.
966
00:53:30,707 --> 00:53:32,334
[dramatic music playing]
967
00:53:34,211 --> 00:53:37,172
Kevin and I had both agreed
from the very beginning,
968
00:53:37,255 --> 00:53:38,757
if he got the death penalty
969
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,968
or the jury decided it was life in prison,
it would be justice.
970
00:53:42,052 --> 00:53:44,054
[helicopter whirring]
971
00:53:45,722 --> 00:53:48,892
Ultimately, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
was sentenced to die.
972
00:53:48,975 --> 00:53:50,685
When the sentence was read,
973
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:54,773
he showed no emotion,
and that was the conclusion of the trial.
974
00:53:57,984 --> 00:53:59,486
The press conference for this,
975
00:53:59,569 --> 00:54:02,364
it was held outside
in the back of the courtroom
976
00:54:02,447 --> 00:54:05,617
where victims
and their families were asked to speak.
977
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:09,829
I want to personally say thank you
to each of my fellow survivors,
978
00:54:10,330 --> 00:54:12,332
and thank them for being here for us.
979
00:54:12,916 --> 00:54:15,210
I have to watch
my two sons put a leg on every day,
980
00:54:15,293 --> 00:54:18,964
so, I mean, I don't know if it's closure,
but I can tell you it feels like
981
00:54:19,047 --> 00:54:21,549
a weight has been lifted
off my shoulders, so...
982
00:54:21,633 --> 00:54:24,970
With the harbor in the background,
it wasn't just closure for them.
983
00:54:25,053 --> 00:54:26,721
It was closure for the city.
984
00:54:39,776 --> 00:54:41,194
[Evans] There's no justice here.
985
00:54:42,153 --> 00:54:44,197
We witnessed four tragic deaths.
986
00:54:45,740 --> 00:54:48,159
People who lost limbs and who's...
987
00:54:48,243 --> 00:54:51,079
You know, they'll never get back
the innocence of their life.
988
00:54:51,162 --> 00:54:54,833
So, to say that it's over,
it will never be over.
989
00:54:56,918 --> 00:54:59,838
You know, I know the Richards family,
and I knew the Campbell family.
990
00:55:00,755 --> 00:55:03,508
They have to live
with the tragedy forever.
991
00:55:05,885 --> 00:55:08,888
[Filipov] There is no closure
for everyone who was there.
992
00:55:08,972 --> 00:55:10,890
This thing is going to always be a memory.
993
00:55:10,974 --> 00:55:13,977
You will never, ever,
ever be able to not have been there.
994
00:55:14,060 --> 00:55:15,937
And it's the first responders.
995
00:55:16,021 --> 00:55:19,232
It's the people
who were maimed and wounded.
996
00:55:19,316 --> 00:55:21,359
It's the people who lost loved ones.
997
00:55:21,943 --> 00:55:25,405
Everybody's going to remember
that moment for the rest of their lives.
998
00:55:26,156 --> 00:55:28,742
[Fenni] It's not something
that is easily forgotten.
999
00:55:28,825 --> 00:55:31,286
It still is in our hearts, to be honest.
1000
00:55:33,121 --> 00:55:35,415
It brought me
to the lowest point of my life.
1001
00:55:35,498 --> 00:55:40,378
I didn't know who I was anymore.
I lost touch with the person I once was.
1002
00:55:40,462 --> 00:55:41,629
Um...
1003
00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:47,802
And, really, I felt let down and betrayed.
1004
00:55:48,803 --> 00:55:53,683
Every year, it just...
It rips up the memories for Karen,
1005
00:55:53,767 --> 00:55:56,227
and it's tough. It's still tough.
1006
00:55:56,311 --> 00:55:58,646
I don't want Krystle to ever be forgotten.
1007
00:56:00,023 --> 00:56:02,400
I lost my friend,
and that was a terrible thing.
1008
00:56:02,484 --> 00:56:04,444
And that's always gonna be
a terrible thing.
1009
00:56:06,071 --> 00:56:08,031
[Foley] It's been ten years now.
1010
00:56:08,114 --> 00:56:10,283
You look back at the footage,
1011
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:13,078
and you see civilians
1012
00:56:13,161 --> 00:56:17,123
and marathon workers and police officers
1013
00:56:17,207 --> 00:56:22,337
and first responders just jumping in
to save and to do what they can.
1014
00:56:23,129 --> 00:56:25,382
[Davis] It really does
speak to the courage
1015
00:56:25,465 --> 00:56:28,093
and the commitment
of the citizens of Boston,
1016
00:56:28,176 --> 00:56:29,761
to their fellow neighbors,
1017
00:56:29,844 --> 00:56:33,014
but also to stand up
against people that attack us.
1018
00:56:34,265 --> 00:56:36,976
[Danny] I cannot believe
it's been ten years already.
1019
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:42,399
You know, it's just,
I appreciate that I'm still alive.
1020
00:56:42,482 --> 00:56:44,609
My life could have ended that night.
1021
00:56:47,445 --> 00:56:49,447
[DesLauriers]
Danny Meng was an important hero
1022
00:56:49,531 --> 00:56:51,616
in the Boston Marathon
bombing investigation.
1023
00:56:51,699 --> 00:56:55,829
It was his courage that led
to the neutralization of Tamerlan Tsarnaev
1024
00:56:55,912 --> 00:56:57,789
and the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
1025
00:56:57,872 --> 00:56:59,416
[crowd applauding, cheering]
1026
00:56:59,499 --> 00:57:02,085
[Evans] You know, I've done
a lot of interviews on this,
1027
00:57:02,168 --> 00:57:03,753
and this isn't about the glory.
1028
00:57:03,837 --> 00:57:06,172
This isn't about who was a hero, you know.
1029
00:57:06,256 --> 00:57:11,553
It was about Boston coming together
and supporting what happened that day,
1030
00:57:11,636 --> 00:57:15,849
and supporting those families
that's lives will forever be changed.
1031
00:57:16,808 --> 00:57:18,059
I would like to see
1032
00:57:18,143 --> 00:57:22,856
the Boston Marathon go back
to being this fabulous event in the city
1033
00:57:22,939 --> 00:57:27,902
that is not constantly just overshadowed
by this horrific thing that happened
1034
00:57:27,986 --> 00:57:31,072
because there's so much good
that comes from the marathon.
1035
00:57:32,824 --> 00:57:34,117
[starting pistol fires]
1036
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,952
[crowd cheers]
1037
00:57:36,035 --> 00:57:41,082
[reporter] The runners in the first wave
of this Patriots' Day Boston Marathon
1038
00:57:41,166 --> 00:57:42,375
are taking off.
1039
00:57:42,459 --> 00:57:44,002
[audio fades]
1040
00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:48,423
[somber music playing]
1041
00:58:00,643 --> 00:58:02,645
[somber music continues]
1042
00:58:25,126 --> 00:58:27,128
[dramatic music playing]
