[ominous music]
5
00:01:55,073 --> 00:01:57,158
Good afternoon.
My name is Richard DesLauriers,
6
00:01:57,242 --> 00:02:00,161
and I am the Special Agent in Charge
of the FBI's Boston division.
7
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:04,290
Today we are enlisting the public's help
to identify the two suspects.
8
00:02:04,374 --> 00:02:06,376
[ominous music]
9
00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:13,317
I didn't know it at the time,
but that press conference
10
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:15,051
we conducted at the Sheraton Hotel
11
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,428
on the evening of Thursday,
April 18th, 2013,
12
00:02:17,512 --> 00:02:20,557
started the most momentous
48 hours of my career.
13
00:02:21,391 --> 00:02:24,519
Somebody out there
knows these individuals as friends,
14
00:02:24,602 --> 00:02:28,273
neighbors, co-workers,
or family members of the suspects.
15
00:02:28,356 --> 00:02:29,607
It was very intense.
16
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,193
I mean, we're telling people now.
17
00:02:32,277 --> 00:02:34,863
We're telling them
about who's been identified.
18
00:02:34,946 --> 00:02:36,614
Presenting them with the pictures.
19
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:38,825
We don't know what's going to happen.
20
00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:40,118
The whole thing was risky.
21
00:02:40,201 --> 00:02:41,494
Are we forcing their hand?
22
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:43,037
Are we making them do something?
23
00:02:43,121 --> 00:02:45,957
Now we're not having
the ability to creep up on them.
24
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,378
Here they are. The FBI is referring
to them as Suspect 1 and Suspect 2.
25
00:02:50,461 --> 00:02:52,630
[news anchor 1]
The FBI has set up a special tip line
26
00:02:52,714 --> 00:02:54,674
and a website dedicated to this case.
27
00:02:54,757 --> 00:02:58,511
The website got
like 40 million hits instantaneously.
28
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:01,574
[news anchor 2] Suspects are considered
to be armed and extremely dangerous.
29
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:03,558
[news anchor 3]
The revelation of the two suspects
30
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,643
gives the investigation
a new sense of urgency.
31
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:09,355
[woman] Do you think they'll be recognized
from these images that have been released?
32
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:10,481
Of course.
33
00:03:10,565 --> 00:03:12,692
I think they'll definitely catch 'em.
34
00:03:12,775 --> 00:03:15,904
They're doing their job.
You know, it's gonna take time.
35
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:18,239
Yeah, guess what?
36
00:03:18,323 --> 00:03:20,366
Richard DesLauriers
is gonna take 'em down.
37
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:24,120
[man] I was relieved that the photos
were gonna be put out there,
38
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:27,040
and I strongly believed the community
would see those photographs
39
00:03:27,123 --> 00:03:30,877
and say, "That is so-and-so,
and he's over here."
40
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,716
Immediately after that,
we didn't get any calls.
41
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:38,259
We didn't get one.
42
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,095
- I couldn't believe that.
- I went home that night
43
00:03:41,179 --> 00:03:42,513
and I said to my wife,
44
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:44,807
"We're gonna get a call overnight
45
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:46,935
that somebody's identified these guys."
46
00:03:48,686 --> 00:03:51,481
And then I get a call
that I didn't expect.
47
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:53,441
[distant police sirens]
48
00:03:55,818 --> 00:03:57,820

[gunshots]
50
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:22,011
MIT police. Calls recorded. Officer Sakov.
51
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:26,891
[man] Hi. We're hearing a lot
of loud noises outside of our window.
52
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:32,021
They don't sound exactly like gunshots.
But they're sharp, quick noises.
53
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:35,566
There is a police officer that seems to be
within the vicinity in a car,
54
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:37,819
but we're really not sure what's going on.
55
00:04:37,902 --> 00:04:39,487
[Sakov] Okay. Well, we'll check it out.
56
00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:41,990
[suspenseful music swells]
57
00:04:47,036 --> 00:04:49,998
[officer] Oh my goodness.
Hurry up! All units, respond.
58
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:55,545
Officer down. Officer down. All units...
Location. Officer down.
59
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:02,510
[man] The press conference ends,
60
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,096
and I'm taking the bus back.
61
00:05:05,179 --> 00:05:08,141
Crossing the Mass Avenue Bridge
toward MIT.
62
00:05:10,393 --> 00:05:13,604
And as I'm getting to the other side
of the CambridgeSide, I look to my right,
63
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:16,399
and I see this sea
of blue lights everywhere.
64
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:21,362
Cop cars,
patrol cars speeding up Memorial Drive.
65
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:26,993
I'm among the first on the scene,
and there's a lot of anger.
66
00:05:27,076 --> 00:05:29,412
One cop was visibly in tears.
67
00:05:30,621 --> 00:05:33,666
I was talking to law enforcement,
trying to figure out what happened.
68
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,211
- [reporter] Have anything to tell us, sir?
- Nope. Nothing at all right now.
69
00:05:38,379 --> 00:05:39,505
[Davis] I got a call.
70
00:05:39,589 --> 00:05:42,508
A police officer has been killed
in Cambridge.
71
00:05:44,093 --> 00:05:47,138
Cambridge is a different city
in a different jurisdiction.
72
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:51,809
But the story we got
was that this was a robbery gone wrong.
73
00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:56,314
For a campus police officer to be shot
in the Boston area is extremely rare.
74
00:05:56,397 --> 00:05:58,483
When was the last time
a cop was killed in Cambridge?
75
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,068
It doesn't happen.
76
00:06:00,151 --> 00:06:03,488
It doesn't happen on that campus.
Doesn't happen in that community.
77
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:04,989
Something's wrong.
78
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:06,908
Something is definitely wrong.
79
00:06:06,991 --> 00:06:09,952
You can clearly see there was a struggle.
80
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,830
They were attempting to get his gun.
81
00:06:13,623 --> 00:06:15,958
It was clearly an assassination.
82
00:06:17,335 --> 00:06:20,380
He had a retention holster that made it
impossible for them to get it out.
83
00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:22,131
[police radio squawking]
84
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:24,384
[Foley] Ed Davis is saying to me,
85
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:26,636
"Do you think
this is Black Hat and White Hat?"
86
00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:29,222
And I'm like,
"It would make sense it would be."
87
00:06:29,806 --> 00:06:34,143
I saw folks with a look of worry,
of fear on their faces.
88
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:35,103
[sirens wailing]
89
00:06:35,186 --> 00:06:38,981
[Foley] Every minute that goes by,
we risk more lives.
90
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:43,194
If this is them, what other hell
are they gonna rain down next?
91
00:06:45,154 --> 00:06:46,781
[ominous music]
92
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:54,580
[man] On the evening of April 18th,
93
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:56,624
I was driving my new car
94
00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:59,961
along the Charles River
on the Cambridge side.
95
00:07:01,587 --> 00:07:04,400
I know there is something happening
in Cambridge because there was a lot
96
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,801
of blue lights and police cars.
97
00:07:06,884 --> 00:07:08,136
Twenty of them.
98
00:07:09,011 --> 00:07:11,180
Something serious
must have happened there.
99
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,682
[sirens wailing]
100
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:22,775
[Meng] I came to America
from China in 2009
101
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:25,528
to get a master's degree.
102
00:07:26,737 --> 00:07:29,407
I wanted to learn more
about American culture.
103
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:32,994
Learn more about the American dream.
104
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,038
President Obama, he once said,
105
00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:37,248
"Any American
106
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:38,207
if you'll be honest,
107
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:42,628
if you're working hard,
you deserve to have a bright future."
108
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:46,549
That's what I think.
If you just work hard on yourself,
109
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:48,384
if you're honest with yourself,
110
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:50,428
you're gonna have a better life.
111
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:53,723
I was really fascinated by nice cars.
112
00:07:55,349 --> 00:07:57,059
So I bought my first car.
113
00:07:57,143 --> 00:07:58,478
It was a Mercedes.
114
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:01,981
When I was driving the car,
I felt like a badass.
115
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:02,899
[tires squeal]
116
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:05,693
I don't want anybody
getting too close to it.
117
00:08:05,776 --> 00:08:07,528
I don't want anybody else to drive it.
118
00:08:07,612 --> 00:08:08,863
It's like a baby to me.
119
00:08:15,703 --> 00:08:17,246
[Meng] I was driving my new car.
120
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,582
I remember I got a text message.
121
00:08:20,958 --> 00:08:24,128
I decided to pull over on a street
called Brighton Avenue.
122
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:29,008
I was focused on the phone
for one or two minutes.
123
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:32,678
Then I saw a car pull over
right behind me.
124
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:36,349
It felt a little bit weird.
125
00:08:36,432 --> 00:08:38,434
[ominous music]
126
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:46,609
I thought, maybe it's someone trying
to ask for directions.
127
00:08:48,069 --> 00:08:50,404
And then they knocked
on my passenger side.
128
00:08:50,905 --> 00:08:55,993
So I lower down the window a little bit,
just maybe this much space.
129
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:58,788
Then he wants me
to lower a little bit more.
130
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:07,171
Very fast. I didn't have time to response.
131
00:09:07,672 --> 00:09:10,299
And I was like,
"What the heck is happening?"
132
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:12,552
And he pointed a gun at me.
133
00:09:13,469 --> 00:09:14,679
My body was shaking.
134
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:15,596
I was like,
135
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,765
"I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
136
00:09:17,848 --> 00:09:19,892
"Just please don't kill me."
137
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:23,854
He told me he can kill me
anytime he wants to.
138
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:25,189
"Just start driving."
139
00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:33,322
And the car behind me
was following us the whole way.
140
00:09:34,448 --> 00:09:36,450
[ominous music]
141
00:09:45,501 --> 00:09:47,795
[Meng] I realize
we were driving to Watertown.
142
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:55,886
We pull over to a house...
143
00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:56,970
in Watertown.
144
00:09:57,763 --> 00:10:01,058
And the older one,
he wants me to sit on the passenger side.
145
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:03,686
They both get out of the car.
146
00:10:04,812 --> 00:10:06,814
I was thinking, maybe it's my time to run,
147
00:10:06,897 --> 00:10:09,942
but they took out the key
and locked the door.
148
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:16,115
And then they moved some stuff
from the other sedan to my car.
149
00:10:17,908 --> 00:10:19,619
A couple of boxes, I think.
150
00:10:22,163 --> 00:10:24,957
They get back in the car,
and now it's three of us.
151
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:26,792
The older one is driving.
152
00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:29,795
Then they just left their car behind us.
153
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,673
I didn't know their relationship.
154
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:36,510
One of them was much younger
and looked like a student,
155
00:10:36,594 --> 00:10:39,347
but they seemed pretty American to me.
156
00:10:41,682 --> 00:10:44,935
The older one asked me,
do I know who he is?
157
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:47,313
I said, "I don't know who you are."
158
00:10:47,396 --> 00:10:50,024
He said,
"I did the Boston Marathon bombing."
159
00:10:50,524 --> 00:10:53,486
"And we just killed
a policeman in Cambridge."
160
00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:55,112
[ominous music]
161
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:01,285
Oh shit. Like...
162
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:04,747
How could it be possible?
163
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:06,248
Like, why me?
164
00:11:06,749 --> 00:11:09,669
- [helicopter propellers beating]
- [police sirens blaring]
165
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:15,049
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology
police officer was shot at.
166
00:11:15,132 --> 00:11:17,218
He suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
167
00:11:17,301 --> 00:11:19,261
He was taken to hospital, and he died.
168
00:11:21,305 --> 00:11:24,308
I was told that they shot
six times into the vehicle,
169
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:27,019
one which pierced this officer's brain.
170
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:28,729
When I arrived at the command post,
171
00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:31,399
I had learned about the murder
of Officer Sean Collier at MIT,
172
00:11:31,482 --> 00:11:33,234
which was just absolutely tragic news.
173
00:11:33,317 --> 00:11:36,529
Anytime somebody in law enforcement
gets killed, it's devastating.
174
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:38,614
And to assassinate poor Sean
175
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:42,118
while he was sitting in his car
doing a thankless job?
176
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:44,453
He didn't deserve that.
177
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,598
- [police sirens wailing]
- [indistinct radio chatter]
178
00:11:46,622 --> 00:11:51,293
I felt a combination of anger
and urgency to run these guys down.
179
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:54,338
These guys had beat us.
They got through our lines of defense.
180
00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:59,135
[Martin] After those photos
were released to the public,
181
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,387
it was clear that they were flushed out.
182
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:02,596
That they were known.
183
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,808
And they seemed to be in a mood of,
"We have nothing to lose."
184
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:09,895
[interviewer] Do you ever reflect
if you hadn't released the photos,
185
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,022
Sean Collier would still be alive today?
186
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:17,611
Well, I mean, to be quite honest with you,
they needed another gun.
187
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:18,935
That's what they were gonna do.
188
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:21,633
They were gonna do that whether
it was Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
189
00:12:21,657 --> 00:12:24,076
I thought then and I think today
190
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,414
that there was no downside to releasing
those photographs immediately.
191
00:12:28,497 --> 00:12:30,332
Right to that corner over there...
192
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:36,172
Given what happened,
I know it's Monday morning quarterbacking,
193
00:12:36,797 --> 00:12:38,966
but it is a legitimate question.
194
00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:41,719
Was this the right approach?
195
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:44,764
[Davis] We had a responsibility,
196
00:12:44,847 --> 00:12:47,016
so that the public
could protect themselves.
197
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:48,476
This is an aberration.
198
00:12:49,226 --> 00:12:52,313
This incident goes to show
that no matter what you have in place,
199
00:12:52,396 --> 00:12:57,359
no matter how hard you try to prevent it,
you're not gonna prevent everything.
200
00:12:58,235 --> 00:12:59,820
And I think that's what happened here.
201
00:12:59,904 --> 00:13:01,071
[dog barking]
202
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:03,574
[ominous music]
203
00:13:09,246 --> 00:13:10,372
[Meng] In the car,
204
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:14,627
they are speaking another language
that I don't really understand.
205
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:23,010
We stop at a bank.
206
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:27,848
The younger one gets out of the car.
207
00:13:29,058 --> 00:13:31,477
They use my debit card to get some cash.
208
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:37,983
When we were in the car,
I actually remember asking him,
209
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:40,027
"Are you gonna kill me tonight?"
210
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:43,823
That's when he said,
"No, we're not gonna kill you."
211
00:13:43,906 --> 00:13:46,242
"We're just gonna drop you off
at someplace
212
00:13:47,243 --> 00:13:49,411
far away where nobody can find you."
213
00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:53,207
Should I believe those two murderers?
214
00:13:53,707 --> 00:13:55,668
Why would they let you go?
215
00:13:55,751 --> 00:13:59,380
They don't care
about other people's lives.
216
00:14:00,714 --> 00:14:03,175
They'll probably kill me
on the side of a highway.
217
00:14:05,052 --> 00:14:07,721
My family, my parents, my friends,
218
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:11,392
I didn't have a chance
to say goodbye to them.
219
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:18,232
They asked me, "Can your car
go out of state? Like, New York?"
220
00:14:18,315 --> 00:14:20,693
I said, "Yeah, of course." You know?
221
00:14:20,776 --> 00:14:24,572
Then I realized, they're probably trying
to go to New York to do another bombing.
222
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:26,532
[car horn honking]
223
00:14:30,786 --> 00:14:34,915
I know that if we are on a highway,
they probably won't stop until New York.
224
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:38,043
I told him
that I only have a quarter of a tank left,
225
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:40,671
so let's get a full gas tank.
226
00:14:40,754 --> 00:14:43,257
They were driving,
looking for a gas station
227
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:44,508
that was still open,
228
00:14:44,592 --> 00:14:45,632
but everything was closed.
229
00:14:48,512 --> 00:14:51,765
Ten minutes later, we stopped
at a gas station in Cambridge.
230
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:54,435
[foreboding music]
231
00:15:05,487 --> 00:15:07,406
[Meng]
The younger one gets out of the car.
232
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:17,082
The older one put his gun
233
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:20,419
in the pocket of the door.
234
00:15:20,502 --> 00:15:24,298
If I want to run away,
if I want to escape from this,
235
00:15:24,381 --> 00:15:26,592
it's probably my last opportunity.
236
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:30,888
It's the most important decision
of my life.
237
00:15:33,390 --> 00:15:38,228
And then I just tell myself,
"Fuck it. I'll do it."
238
00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:39,312
Then...
239
00:15:40,397 --> 00:15:44,193
Fortunately, you know,
I was able to unlock the seatbelt,
240
00:15:45,069 --> 00:15:47,154
unlock the car, and then pull the handle.
241
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:51,575
I could feel like he was trying
to grab me with his right hand.
242
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:56,121
But it felt really, really close.
243
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,458
Like, this close.
244
00:16:02,127 --> 00:16:03,963
[suspenseful music]
245
00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:06,173
I run across the street
246
00:16:07,424 --> 00:16:09,843
to another gas station that's still open.
247
00:16:11,011 --> 00:16:13,138
[suspenseful music continuous]
248
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:14,974
[no audio]
249
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,986
[911 operator]
911, recorded line. What's your emergency?
250
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:30,030
[man] Yes, I am in a Mobile gas station.
251
00:16:31,281 --> 00:16:33,075
816 Memorial Drive.
252
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:35,703
There is one customer who came inside now,
253
00:16:35,786 --> 00:16:39,456
and he told me
someone wanted to shoot him,
254
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,709
and he stay inside, and he won't leave.
255
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:43,232
[911 operator] Can I speak with him?
256
00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:48,090
[Meng] They are the suspects
of the marathon explosion.
257
00:16:48,632 --> 00:16:50,759
Help me, please. They have guns.
258
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,177
[911 operator] Where are they?
259
00:16:52,261 --> 00:16:55,973
[Meng] They are in a Shell gas station
on Memorial Drive.
260
00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:01,059
[911 operator]
They're in front of the gas station?
261
00:17:01,103 --> 00:17:03,188
[Meng] Yes. I just ran. I just got to run.
262
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:06,483
- Can you please come?
- [911 operator] They're on their way.
263
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:08,652
Take a deep breath and stay where you are.
264
00:17:08,736 --> 00:17:11,613
- I'm gonna stay on the phone with you.
- [Meng] Okay. Okay.
265
00:17:18,245 --> 00:17:21,915
Yeah, I can feel my voice is shaking.
266
00:17:21,999 --> 00:17:25,252
And I cannot even speak.
267
00:17:26,336 --> 00:17:28,881
It felt like the longest two hours
of my life.
268
00:17:30,174 --> 00:17:33,093
I still feel terrible
every time I think about it.
269
00:17:33,177 --> 00:17:37,890
That's, like, the most difficult decision
I have ever made.
270
00:17:41,769 --> 00:17:43,520
As life goes on, you know,
271
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:46,356
what I'm trying to do is just not...
272
00:17:48,358 --> 00:17:49,735
focus on that.
273
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:55,157
You know, I just appreciate
that I'm still alive.
274
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:58,744
- [police sirens wailing]
- [helicopter propellers beating]
275
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:02,498
[Davis] We were flooding MIT
276
00:18:02,581 --> 00:18:05,459
with police,
looking for anything suspicious.
277
00:18:05,542 --> 00:18:10,339
All of a sudden we get a call
from the gas station on Memorial Drive.
278
00:18:11,715 --> 00:18:14,301
There was a guy there
saying he was kidnapped,
279
00:18:14,384 --> 00:18:15,844
and it was the bombers.
280
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:18,722
I told them that my car
281
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,600
had a tracking system.
282
00:18:21,683 --> 00:18:27,064
He says to the police officer,
"The GPS number is 1234567."
283
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:29,942
And the officer said,
"How do you know that?"
284
00:18:30,025 --> 00:18:33,112
You get excited with your first car.
You remember everything.
285
00:18:33,195 --> 00:18:37,825
So he literally had the GPS transmitter
number off the top of his head.
286
00:18:37,908 --> 00:18:41,370
I really wanted them to catch
those guys as soon as possible.
287
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:43,372
The officer called that in,
288
00:18:43,872 --> 00:18:46,083
and they tracked
the car almost immediately
289
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:47,459
to Watertown.
290
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:50,754
[operator] Watertown Control to all cars.
291
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:55,676
Cambridge is looking for a one,
three, seven, November, Zulu, one.
292
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,720
That's a 2013 Mercedes. Color black.
293
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:02,516
The vehicle was taken
from 816 Memorial Drive
294
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,060
in Cambridge during a carjacking.
295
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:09,815
Occupied by two Middle Eastern males.
One described as 5' 7".
296
00:19:09,898 --> 00:19:12,609
The second described as light-skinned.
297
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:15,112
[foreboding music]
298
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,663
[MacLellan]
I did 30 years as a police officer
299
00:19:24,746 --> 00:19:25,998
in the town of Watertown.
300
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:32,421
It is a touching town of Boston,
301
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:35,799
and we are a very small town
with four square miles,
302
00:19:35,883 --> 00:19:37,509
but it is densely packed
303
00:19:37,593 --> 00:19:41,972
with over 40,000 people
living in the town, in four square miles.
304
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:44,892
It's very tight-knit.
305
00:19:44,975 --> 00:19:47,811
A lot of families, a lot of young kids.
306
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:52,649
It is a very, very safe place.
307
00:19:53,150 --> 00:19:55,652
I can't even say I even came close
308
00:19:55,736 --> 00:19:59,573
to pulling the trigger until that night.
309
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:03,595
- [indistinct radio chatter]
- [sirens blaring]
310
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:05,287
[officer] Shot fired! Shot fired!
311
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:07,164
[panicked radio chatter]
312
00:20:07,247 --> 00:20:09,041
[officer shouting indistinctly]
313
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:10,876
[shouting continues over radio static]
314
00:20:12,836 --> 00:20:14,838
[ominous music]
315
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:19,593
[MacLellan] PTSD is a real thing.
316
00:20:19,676 --> 00:20:21,470
It'll eat you up and kill you.
317
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:27,809
It's like a different life.
It's a different life.
318
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,437
[indistinct police radio chatter]
319
00:20:33,774 --> 00:20:36,610
[Pugliese] In 2013, I was a sergeant.
320
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:40,155
And I had been
in that position for 20 years.
321
00:20:44,451 --> 00:20:45,869
I came to the police station,
322
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:48,288
and I have my police radio on.
323
00:20:50,290 --> 00:20:54,336
I heard about Sean Collier,
the MIT police officer, being murdered.
324
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:58,006
I thought, "Oh my God, it's horrific."
325
00:20:58,715 --> 00:21:01,051
So, I went out to my car.
326
00:21:01,134 --> 00:21:02,928
I lit up a cigarillo,
327
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:05,430
and I'm listening to the police radio.
328
00:21:06,014 --> 00:21:07,734
[operator]
We got a call from Cambridge P.D.
329
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:10,352
They just pinged
the phone number in the vehicle
330
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:11,895
in question on the carjacking.
331
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:13,897
It's in the area of Dexter Ave.
332
00:21:13,981 --> 00:21:15,774
A 2013 Mercedes.
333
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:19,069
A Cambridge police officer
334
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:22,948
called our officer in charge directly
335
00:21:23,031 --> 00:21:25,867
and said,
"Hey, listen, just to let you know,
336
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:27,828
we have a stolen car in Cambridge."
337
00:21:27,911 --> 00:21:34,126
"We're tracking it, and it's in Watertown
right now at 93 Dexter Ave."
338
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:37,480
[officer 1] Okay, could you give me
the plate number again, please,
339
00:21:37,504 --> 00:21:39,214
and the description of the vehicle?
340
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,550
[operator] Black 2013 Mercedes.
341
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:44,386
[Pugliese]
It was Officer Joe Reynolds' patrol area,
342
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:46,430
and he says, "I'll check that out."
343
00:21:46,513 --> 00:21:48,515
[officer 1]
The car is on the move right now.
344
00:21:48,598 --> 00:21:52,227
It's a carjacking, is how it came out.
And they said they may be armed.
345
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:56,148
I'm thinking, well, if they get there,
there's gonna be two things happening.
346
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:58,608
It's gonna be a car chase
or a foot pursuit.
347
00:21:59,192 --> 00:22:02,154
We only know
that it's a vehicle taken at gunpoint.
348
00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:07,117
I'm thinkin' it's a couple of kids.
You know, we're gonna pull this car over.
349
00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:09,995
They're gonna give up,
or get out of the car and run.
350
00:22:10,078 --> 00:22:12,873
If they take off out of the car
and they're chasing 'em on foot,
351
00:22:12,956 --> 00:22:14,249
I'll be an extra set of eyes.
352
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:15,625
So, I started driving.
353
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:18,313
I left the police station,
and I started heading in that direction.
354
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:20,922
[officer 2]
Okay, roger. Still here on Laurel.
355
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:22,674
Just took a left on Laurel.
356
00:22:22,758 --> 00:22:25,385
[Pugliese] Joe Reynolds got there,
and they passed each other.
357
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:27,679
Then they slow down
to about two miles an hour.
358
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:29,681
They actually made eye contact.
359
00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:34,949
We found out that the suspects
were driving two different vehicles.
360
00:22:34,978 --> 00:22:38,774
It was their vehicle in front
and then the black SUV behind it.
361
00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:41,610
[officer 2] Right next to it now.
You want me to stop it?
362
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:45,447
And I get on the radio, I said,
"Joey don't stop that vehicle."
363
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:48,116
"Let me catch up to you."
He said, "Roger, Sarge."
364
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:50,952
[officer 1] I'm right behind that vehicle.
365
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:52,496
Light him up.
366
00:22:55,832 --> 00:22:57,834
[ominous music]
367
00:22:59,211 --> 00:23:01,004
Officer Reynolds
was following behind them.
368
00:23:01,088 --> 00:23:02,589
They weren't going fast.
369
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:06,593
And that's when the black SUV stopped.
370
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:12,682
And when I took a left
onto Laurel Street, it was mayhem.
371
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:14,768
[ominous music continues]
372
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:21,149
- [sirens wailing]
- [gunshots]
373
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:25,862
[gunfire continuous]
374
00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:33,161
Suspect in the middle of the street,
just firing in it.
375
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,580
I'm throwing my car into park.
376
00:23:35,664 --> 00:23:38,083
And boom, glass in my face.
377
00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:40,919
[officer 3]
Shots fired. All units respond.
378
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:44,774
[officer 4] All units. We have shots fired
on the vehicle in question from Cambridge.
379
00:23:44,798 --> 00:23:46,466
Last seen near the area of Dexter Ave.
380
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:49,302
[officer 5] Shots fired in Watertown.
381
00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:52,556
When he said, "They're shooting at me,"
my thought was, "I gotta help."
382
00:23:52,639 --> 00:23:56,351
I went from doing 30 miles an hour
to doing 80 miles an hour.
383
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:58,145
[officer 1] Shots fired! Shots fired!
384
00:23:58,228 --> 00:23:59,312
[officer 2] Shots fired.
385
00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:00,689
[gunfire]
386
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:02,607
I said, "I gotta do something."
387
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:04,568
I said,
"I'm gonna jump up into this vehicle."
388
00:24:05,652 --> 00:24:09,114
"I'm gonna throw it in drive,
and I'm just gonna send it towards them."
389
00:24:09,614 --> 00:24:10,866
At least this way,
390
00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,702
I can see how many people
are gonna be shooting at us.
391
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:16,329
See what we got,
so I can give it to the incoming units.
392
00:24:16,413 --> 00:24:17,289
[gunfire continuous]
393
00:24:17,372 --> 00:24:20,083
Reynolds says, "Sarge, who's driving 468?"
394
00:24:20,917 --> 00:24:23,879
My car was going down towards them.
He didn't know no one was in it.
395
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:26,339
I was just... You know,
it was just goin' down the street.
396
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,009
That's when I saw them
behind the Mercedes,
397
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:31,887
I could see him throwin' something.
398
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:35,746
And I saw it coming through the air,
399
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:37,851
and it was coming
through the air I'm like,
400
00:24:37,934 --> 00:24:40,479
"This kid's throwin' sticks at us."
401
00:24:41,062 --> 00:24:42,731
And when it hit the ground,
402
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:44,000
it went ting-ting-ting-ting...
403
00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:45,650
And I went... [gasps]
404
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:48,445
[explosion]
405
00:24:48,528 --> 00:24:50,614
[ominous music]
406
00:25:02,834 --> 00:25:03,919
[police radio squawking]
407
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:06,421
[MacLellan]
Loud explosion! Loud explosion!
408
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:07,881
Loud explosion!
409
00:25:12,052 --> 00:25:14,721
What? What a friggin' week this has been.
410
00:25:14,804 --> 00:25:16,431
First, the marathon bombing.
411
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:19,142
An MIT police officer gets murdered.
412
00:25:19,226 --> 00:25:21,394
You know,
what else can go wrong this week?
413
00:25:22,270 --> 00:25:25,065
[Martin] At that point,
while I'm standing there at MIT,
414
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:28,985
there was suddenly this commotion
that was going on.
415
00:25:29,069 --> 00:25:32,531
And police are listening
to their car radio.
416
00:25:32,614 --> 00:25:36,785
We hear on the radio,
you know, "Shots fired. Shots fired."
417
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:38,703
[officer 1] Shots fired! Shots fired!
418
00:25:38,787 --> 00:25:42,207
[officer 2] Units respond to the scene.
We need assistance immediately!
419
00:25:42,290 --> 00:25:44,290
[officer 3]
Watertown, Newtown has 8 comin' at you.
420
00:25:44,334 --> 00:25:45,835
[officer 4] Eight en route with K9.
421
00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:48,964
[officer 5] Cambridge to Watertown,
we also have three units responding.
422
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:50,465
My mind immediately went to,
423
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:52,842
"This is all related.
This has gotta be them."
424
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:57,764
I remember immediately hitting lights
and sirens and just flying
425
00:25:57,847 --> 00:25:58,847
to Watertown.
426
00:25:58,890 --> 00:26:00,267
[sirens wailing]
427
00:26:01,476 --> 00:26:03,311
I just headed towards Watertown,
428
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:07,065
and there was a cavalry
of police vehicles heading that way.
429
00:26:07,148 --> 00:26:10,443
And I just jumped in it
and followed the crowd out there.
430
00:26:10,527 --> 00:26:13,280
And I don't know what's going on,
but I decided to rush with them.
431
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:14,489
Whatever was happening,
432
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:17,576
it seemed to be connected to something
much larger than what's going on.
433
00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:20,412
'Cause they're leaving
the scene of a murdered cop.
434
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:23,790
[officer] We have him pinned down.
He's throwing explosives at us.
435
00:26:24,291 --> 00:26:27,085
Overnight, Chief of Department called.
436
00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:28,545
And he said,
437
00:26:28,628 --> 00:26:31,506
"Commissioner, they're throwing bombs
at us and shooting."
438
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,008
And I said, "Who's throwing bombs?"
439
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:35,260
He said, "We got these guys,
we're chasing 'em down."
440
00:26:35,343 --> 00:26:38,763
The phone rang, and I answered it,
and it was one of my assistants,
441
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:42,142
and he had told me,
"Our suspects are on the run right now,
442
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:45,061
and they're hurling more bombs
at Watertown police officers
443
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:46,855
in Watertown, Massachusetts."
444
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:48,898
And as soon as I heard that,
I said, "Holy shit."
445
00:26:52,027 --> 00:26:53,028
[sirens wailing]
446
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:54,831
[officer 1]
Can I get that location, please?
447
00:26:54,904 --> 00:26:56,948
[officer 2]
Dexter and Laurel. Dexter and Laurel.
448
00:26:57,032 --> 00:26:58,575
[gunfire]
449
00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:03,409
[MacLellan]
When you hear those cruisers pullin' up,
450
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:04,914
it's like it's the best...
451
00:27:04,998 --> 00:27:06,416
It's the best feeling in the world,
452
00:27:06,499 --> 00:27:11,963
because you know we got more ammo coming,
we got more guns on these guys.
453
00:27:12,047 --> 00:27:14,758
[man 1] Fucking shooting,
right in front of my house.
454
00:27:16,009 --> 00:27:17,009
[man 2] Get outta here.
455
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:19,763
[man 3] Hey, everybody stop.
Look out. Go the other way.
456
00:27:19,846 --> 00:27:21,139
[man 4] Go the other way.
457
00:27:21,222 --> 00:27:22,557
[gunshots]
458
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:24,309
[man 5] Getting serious, man.
459
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:26,144
[gunfire continuous]
460
00:27:27,395 --> 00:27:30,315
Bombs goin' off.
There's cops shooting everywhere.
461
00:27:30,398 --> 00:27:32,776
It was an absolute war zone.
462
00:27:32,859 --> 00:27:35,904
We did have residents comin' out,
and that's what scared me.
463
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,073
[operator] Line's recorded.
What is your emergency?
464
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:39,449
[woman 1] I'm in Watertown.
465
00:27:39,532 --> 00:27:41,743
I'm hearing what sounds like gunshots,
and I heard...
466
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:43,828
[operator]
We're aware of the situation. Thank you.
467
00:27:43,912 --> 00:27:46,164
911, this line is recorded.
What's your emergency?
468
00:27:46,247 --> 00:27:47,791
[woman 2] Somebody's shootin' a gun...
469
00:27:47,874 --> 00:27:49,501
[operator] 911, this line is recorded.
470
00:27:49,584 --> 00:27:52,295
[woman 3] Hi. I just heard a huge bang.
471
00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:54,339
[operator]
Ma'am, we're aware of it. Thank you.
472
00:27:55,215 --> 00:28:00,470
At least one of the residents,
he came out three times,
473
00:28:01,096 --> 00:28:03,656
opened his door and said,
"You need any help? You need any help?"
474
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:06,601
And I kept telling him,
"Get back in the house!"
475
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:10,146
"Unless you have any 40 cal ammo,
get back in there."
476
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:11,147
[gunshots]
477
00:28:11,231 --> 00:28:13,858
I pulled up and I start
just around the corner from Laurel Street.
478
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:16,778
Put on my bulletproof vest.
479
00:28:18,905 --> 00:28:20,615
And as I'm walking around the corner,
480
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:23,952
I see Officer Reynolds
and Sergeant MacLellan.
481
00:28:24,035 --> 00:28:28,790
He was behind a tree returning gunfire,
and he was giving them commands.
482
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:30,583
[MacLellan] Give it up! Give it up!
483
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:33,378
"Give it up. Give it up."
You know, trying to get them to surrender.
484
00:28:33,461 --> 00:28:35,755
- [gunshots]
- And they just continued to fire.
485
00:28:36,798 --> 00:28:40,802
What we thought at the time
was two guns, muzzle flashes.
486
00:28:41,302 --> 00:28:44,514
And ultimately, we found out
that they had one handgun,
487
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:46,975
and the second muzzle flash that we saw,
488
00:28:47,475 --> 00:28:49,477
one of them was lighting the pipe bombs.
489
00:28:51,312 --> 00:28:53,022
That was our second muzzle flash.
490
00:28:53,648 --> 00:28:55,567
[gunfire]
491
00:28:59,529 --> 00:29:01,030
The last bomb that was thrown,
492
00:29:01,781 --> 00:29:05,785
I saw him get out of the vehicle,
holding something with two handles,
493
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:07,996
and I saw him go...
494
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:14,252
[explosion]
495
00:29:14,335 --> 00:29:15,462
[man 5] God!
496
00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:16,796
[car alarms blaring]
497
00:29:17,964 --> 00:29:20,258
You could feel the percussion,
but all's I can remember
498
00:29:20,341 --> 00:29:22,886
was like someone putting
a white screen in front of your face.
499
00:29:25,472 --> 00:29:28,975
Gray black smoke, and then you felt
stuff raining down on you.
500
00:29:29,058 --> 00:29:30,518
It was all the shrap metal.
501
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:32,270
It was a pressure cooker.
502
00:29:32,353 --> 00:29:34,564
One of the clips unclipped,
503
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:38,359
and it didn't come up
to as much pressure as it should have.
504
00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:42,030
So if he had placed it
instead of throwin' it,
505
00:29:42,113 --> 00:29:43,239
we would've been...
506
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:46,284
We all would've been hurt.
We were in the blast zone.
507
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:47,494
[explosion]
508
00:29:47,994 --> 00:29:49,370
[Pugliese] It was a standoff.
509
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:53,124
So, I decided that what I was going to do
was cut through some backyards
510
00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:55,293
and come up on their side. Flank them.
511
00:29:55,376 --> 00:29:58,254
I went up a driveway, over a fence,
512
00:29:59,005 --> 00:30:01,341
through that backyard, over another fence.
513
00:30:01,424 --> 00:30:03,635
Went along the house fence line.
514
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:07,722
That's when I saw them.
And they were taking cover there.
515
00:30:08,223 --> 00:30:10,850
But I was a firearms instructor
for the department,
516
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:12,602
so I usually hit my target.
517
00:30:12,685 --> 00:30:15,313
- I took aim. I squeezed off a round.
- [gunshot]
518
00:30:15,396 --> 00:30:19,901
I know I hit the guy.
No reaction, so I try again. Bang.
519
00:30:20,568 --> 00:30:23,071
I know I hit him, and there's no reaction.
520
00:30:23,154 --> 00:30:25,990
I shot him nine times.
It wasn't all torso shots.
521
00:30:26,074 --> 00:30:28,493
I got him in the feet.
He just wouldn't go down.
522
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:31,788
That's when he knew I was there,
and he came running out.
523
00:30:32,288 --> 00:30:36,709
He and I were facing each other
about six feet apart, exchanging gunfire.
524
00:30:36,793 --> 00:30:38,753
[gunshots]
525
00:30:40,713 --> 00:30:44,884
Fortunately, they just went all around me.
It was like a Pulp Fiction moment.
526
00:30:44,968 --> 00:30:47,804
Die, you motherfuckers, die!
527
00:30:47,887 --> 00:30:49,180
[gun clicking empty]
528
00:30:57,021 --> 00:30:59,482
His gun stopped working.
529
00:30:59,566 --> 00:31:02,110
I didn't know if it jammed
or ran out of ammunition.
530
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:05,697
He was almost like in disbelief
that he couldn't shoot his gun anymore.
531
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,825
And he stopped,
he looked at his gun, looked at me.
532
00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:12,787
We made eye contact, and he threw the gun,
hit me on the shoulder.
533
00:31:12,871 --> 00:31:13,872
It dropped to the ground.
534
00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:17,083
And he turns towards us,
all the guys shootin' at him,
535
00:31:17,166 --> 00:31:19,460
and just starts chargin' at us.
536
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:23,631
My slide's back. I have no bullets
in my gun, but he doesn't know that.
537
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:26,435
The slide's back and I said,
"I'm gonna kill you. Get on the ground."
538
00:31:26,509 --> 00:31:27,719
"I'm gonna kill you."
539
00:31:27,802 --> 00:31:29,721
And he just keeps... Dead eyes.
540
00:31:29,804 --> 00:31:32,807
Just keeps looking at me
and just walkin' right towards me.
541
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:35,611
[Pugliese] So I holstered up
and chased after him, and I tackled him.
542
00:31:36,102 --> 00:31:37,729
[MacLellan] The kid just collapses.
543
00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:40,565
And he's violently resisting us.
544
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:42,859
Just running on pure adrenaline.
545
00:31:42,942 --> 00:31:47,322
I had an empty gun.
No bullets in it, but I had a gun.
546
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:49,699
So I said, "I'm gonna knock him out."
547
00:31:49,782 --> 00:31:52,660
I tried as hard as I could
to knock that kid out.
548
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:57,206
Sergeant Pugliese got one cuff on him,
and I'm just hittin' him as hard as I can.
549
00:31:57,290 --> 00:32:00,043
I'm tryin' to knock this kid out.
Tryin' to make it easier.
550
00:32:00,627 --> 00:32:02,629
Tryin' to make sure that we don't die.
551
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:06,341
Officer Reynolds is looking down
the street, and he says,
552
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:08,927
"Somebody got in the SUV.
They turned around."
553
00:32:11,721 --> 00:32:14,182
[MacLellan]
Coming towards us! Coming towards us!
554
00:32:15,975 --> 00:32:18,770
I looked again,
and the headlights were right in my face.
555
00:32:19,354 --> 00:32:21,522
"Sarge, get off, get off." And I push.
556
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:26,361
I just let go, and I felt the breeze
of the vehicle go by my face.
557
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:30,365
I watched the front wheels
go over to the suspect.
558
00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:33,743
He bounced up between the undercarriage
and the pavement three or four times,
559
00:32:33,826 --> 00:32:36,329
and he got dragged about 20, 25 feet.
560
00:32:36,412 --> 00:32:37,830
And it was like whack-a-mole.
561
00:32:37,914 --> 00:32:40,375
I mean, the car was going
probably 40 miles an hour,
562
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,752
and it was just so violent.
563
00:32:43,336 --> 00:32:45,171
[officer] Suspect just took off in an SUV!
564
00:32:45,254 --> 00:32:47,423
He ran over his partner!
565
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:50,718
The car spit the body
right out from under the car.
566
00:32:51,511 --> 00:32:53,721
The vehicle collided
with one of our police cruisers
567
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:54,931
that was stopped there.
568
00:32:55,014 --> 00:32:56,641
And you heard an engine racing,
569
00:32:56,724 --> 00:32:59,102
tryin' to break free of the collision.
570
00:32:59,185 --> 00:33:00,603
Then he broke free,
571
00:33:00,687 --> 00:33:02,146
sped off through an intersection.
572
00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:05,233
There was a barrage of gunfire
from officers that had arrived on scene.
573
00:33:05,316 --> 00:33:07,610
[gunfire]
574
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:18,746
[Pugliese] Uh, and he sped
through the intersection, and he was gone.
575
00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:21,082
[ominous music]
576
00:33:33,136 --> 00:33:35,430
[police sirens wailing]
577
00:33:38,766 --> 00:33:40,393
[indistinct radio chatter]
578
00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:42,603
Move. Move. Move. Move.
579
00:33:46,232 --> 00:33:47,734
You gotta get outta here.
580
00:33:52,947 --> 00:33:54,615
And I roll up on scene.
581
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:55,699
It's dark.
582
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:56,826
It's chaotic.
583
00:33:56,909 --> 00:33:58,870
Officers screaming, yelling.
584
00:34:01,372 --> 00:34:04,584
[Martin] When I first arrived,
there were police officers everywhere.
585
00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:08,421
You're hearing that there's a shootout.
Bombs thrown at cops.
586
00:34:08,504 --> 00:34:10,298
It was absolutely surreal.
587
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:15,762
[Foley] All of a sudden,
we see police officers
588
00:34:15,845 --> 00:34:17,180
running down the road.
589
00:34:17,847 --> 00:34:19,057
Now we join them.
590
00:34:20,266 --> 00:34:25,521
We find out that we're chasing down
to where the Mercedes SUV went.
591
00:34:27,148 --> 00:34:31,235
And we come across the SUV in this street.
592
00:34:33,571 --> 00:34:36,199
The door's open. No one's there.
593
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:39,660
I said to myself, "I can't be doing this."
594
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:42,580
"I need to organize this
and come up with a plan."
595
00:34:43,456 --> 00:34:48,294
Yeah, it was frustrating that he got away,
but I did think that he would be captured
596
00:34:48,377 --> 00:34:49,670
very shortly thereafter.
597
00:34:51,130 --> 00:34:52,465
[distant police sirens]
598
00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:57,637
With many police officers on the scene,
and the suspect had gotten away,
599
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:00,473
I think this was embarrassing,
uh, to the police.
600
00:35:01,390 --> 00:35:05,561
[MacLellan] We need an ambulance
at Laurel and Dexter for the suspect.
601
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:08,231
Shot and run over, shot and run over.
602
00:35:08,314 --> 00:35:10,441
And the kid was in such bad shape.
603
00:35:10,525 --> 00:35:14,529
He was ripped from the armpit
to his waist, was totally open.
604
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:15,738
Still alive.
605
00:35:15,822 --> 00:35:17,115
They cut the clothes off 'im
606
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:18,998
and they put him
in the back of the ambulance,
607
00:35:19,033 --> 00:35:21,369
and started working on him,
and then off they went.
608
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:24,705
They took him into a Boston hospital,
a major trauma center.
609
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,791
[dramatic music]
610
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:35,216
I get out of the car,
and there was a federal agent there,
611
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:38,052
and he said, "That's an unexploded
ordnance on the ground."
612
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:41,305
One of the fuse pipe bombs
was lying on the ground.
613
00:35:42,056 --> 00:35:43,516
There was bullet holes everywhere.
614
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:46,394
Through the stop signs,
into the side of houses.
615
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:48,479
Discarded handguns in the street.
616
00:35:49,021 --> 00:35:52,817
The thing that struck home with me
was pressure cooker in the side of a car.
617
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:56,404
You know, exactly the MO
for the Marathon bombers.
618
00:35:57,029 --> 00:35:59,031
I'm like, "Oh my God. These are the guys."
619
00:36:00,366 --> 00:36:03,995
SWAT guy came up to me. He said,
"Hey, Sarge, you know who you got here?"
620
00:36:04,078 --> 00:36:07,081
"You know who you got here?"
And I thought he was asking me, like, who...
621
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:09,458
I go, "Guys, these aren't Watertown kids."
622
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:12,270
[Pugliese] Other people are showing up.
623
00:36:12,295 --> 00:36:14,255
They're saying,
"You guys know who you got here?"
624
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:17,884
I said, "A couple of carjackers."
"No, you got the Boston Marathon bombers."
625
00:36:18,384 --> 00:36:19,302
Get outta here.
626
00:36:19,385 --> 00:36:20,928
"You got the Boston bombers."
627
00:36:21,012 --> 00:36:24,640
"These are the Marathon bombers."
And he goes, "No, it was a stolen car."
628
00:36:25,141 --> 00:36:29,395
The cops involved in the shootout
really didn't realize what they had.
629
00:36:29,478 --> 00:36:32,023
Holy shit. And then I'm thinking, "Bombs"?
630
00:36:32,773 --> 00:36:36,402
"You know, all this ammo. Jeez, I probably
should have picked up on that earlier."
631
00:36:36,485 --> 00:36:39,322
But, you know, I'm not a detective.
I'm a patrolman.
632
00:36:39,405 --> 00:36:40,406
[laughs]
633
00:36:40,489 --> 00:36:44,952
I'm not a cop. I understand
that there are inherent dangers
634
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:46,204
in a lot of situations...
635
00:36:46,287 --> 00:36:47,205
[gunfire]
636
00:36:47,288 --> 00:36:51,792
...but to just shoot and shoot
210 shots from police alone...
637
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:53,085
[man 5] This is no bullshit.
638
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:55,379
[Martin]
...you put innocent lives in danger.
639
00:36:55,463 --> 00:36:56,839
[gunfire]
640
00:36:56,923 --> 00:37:00,885
I interviewed a man
whose child was almost killed.
641
00:37:00,968 --> 00:37:02,803
The baby was sleeping in the room
642
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:05,848
where a bullet came
within inches of the baby's head.
643
00:37:07,391 --> 00:37:13,189
The fact that civilians in their homes
weren't injured or killed was luck.
644
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:18,569
What we're looking for is a suspect
consistent with the description
645
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:21,864
of suspect number two,
the white-capped individual
646
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:25,868
who was involved in Monday's bombing
of the Boston Marathon.
647
00:37:26,369 --> 00:37:27,787
[reporter 1] Suspect 1 was shot?
648
00:37:27,870 --> 00:37:29,630
- That's correct.
- [reporter 2] Is he alive?
649
00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:32,142
- [reporter 3] Is suspect 1...
- We don't have names at this point.
650
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:33,167
[reporter 2] Is he alive?
651
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:36,295
Listen, this is an ongoing...
This is an ongoing investigation.
652
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:38,547
We can't... We can't get into details
653
00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:41,801
on the, uh... On the descriptions
of the suspects or the names.
654
00:37:41,884 --> 00:37:45,137
We're trying to get information out
to the people who live here.
655
00:37:45,221 --> 00:37:47,974
That they should stay in their homes
and not open their doors
656
00:37:48,057 --> 00:37:49,767
unless police officers are there.
657
00:37:49,850 --> 00:37:51,769
[Davis] We had one suspect in custody.
658
00:37:51,852 --> 00:37:54,188
I was told that he had been taken
from the scene.
659
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:56,041
- [distant sirens]
- [indistinct radio chatter]
660
00:37:56,065 --> 00:37:57,984
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
661
00:37:59,318 --> 00:38:01,570
So we needed to identify the suspect
662
00:38:01,654 --> 00:38:03,489
to find out who these guys are.
663
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:07,576
We scrambled to the hospital,
and we rolled his prints.
664
00:38:08,411 --> 00:38:10,746
We know he's one of the bombers.
665
00:38:10,830 --> 00:38:14,125
We're all thinking,
"Hopefully we've got him in the database."
666
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:17,336
If we can figure out who he was,
667
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:20,881
then this information could also lead us
to the other suspect.
668
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:24,802
We ran his fingerprints through numerous
amount of federal databases
669
00:38:24,885 --> 00:38:26,887
to identify this individual.
670
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:28,639
[intense music]
671
00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:36,272
[Foley] We got a hit.
672
00:38:38,024 --> 00:38:39,784
[DesLauriers]
His name was Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
673
00:38:39,859 --> 00:38:41,099
- Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
- Tamerlan.
674
00:38:41,152 --> 00:38:42,236
Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
675
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:46,032
Immediately, we began the process
of database checks
676
00:38:46,115 --> 00:38:48,409
to understand who this individual was.
677
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:51,454
It's a massive information flow.
678
00:38:51,537 --> 00:38:53,914
We learn he's a Chechen national,
679
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:56,917
been here for a number of years,
right here in Cambridge.
680
00:38:57,418 --> 00:38:59,503
That was a huge break
for the investigation.
681
00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:01,589
[ominous music]
682
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:06,385
[Davis] I was in the command post.
683
00:39:06,469 --> 00:39:08,721
The door opened up,
and Rick DesLauriers came in.
684
00:39:09,221 --> 00:39:12,683
He was upset. He was clearly frazzled.
685
00:39:13,517 --> 00:39:16,395
He said, "We know this guy.
We've looked at him before."
686
00:39:16,937 --> 00:39:18,689
I was shocked, and I said,
687
00:39:19,273 --> 00:39:20,399
"How do you know him?"
688
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:23,152
He said, "We received a report
from the FSB,
689
00:39:23,235 --> 00:39:27,323
the Russian intelligence service,
that this guy is a terrorist."
690
00:39:27,406 --> 00:39:29,867
There was a prior Guardian lead.
691
00:39:29,950 --> 00:39:32,787
The Guardian assessments
are the lowest level of investigation
692
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:35,456
that the FBI will conduct
on a national security subject.
693
00:39:35,539 --> 00:39:39,335
That is when you have uncorroborated
single-source information that comes in.
694
00:39:39,919 --> 00:39:41,319
[Davis] He said he questioned them,
695
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:43,923
looked at the information
that they provided us,
696
00:39:44,006 --> 00:39:45,591
and we closed the case.
697
00:39:45,674 --> 00:39:48,135
I said, "You guys had access
to this information?
698
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,679
"Why didn't you tell us
that these guys were out there?"
699
00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:55,893
Nothing in that Guardian assessment
would've led us to believe
700
00:39:55,976 --> 00:39:57,728
that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was gonna bomb
701
00:39:57,812 --> 00:39:59,814
the 2013 Boston Marathon.
702
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:03,317
I was frustrated by that, and surprised.
703
00:40:03,984 --> 00:40:05,986
[foreboding music]
704
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:10,074
[light bulbs buzzing]
705
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:16,247
[man] Law enforcement
is always trying to find
706
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:18,249
the people who committed a crime
707
00:40:18,332 --> 00:40:20,000
or were suspected of committing a crime.
708
00:40:21,043 --> 00:40:24,422
I'm not trying to do that.
I'm trying to understand the story.
709
00:40:25,631 --> 00:40:28,634
You're not born a monster
who blows up a marathon
710
00:40:28,717 --> 00:40:30,177
and kills an eight-year-old.
711
00:40:32,138 --> 00:40:34,348
We need to know how this happens.
712
00:40:35,391 --> 00:40:36,809
How did he get there?
713
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,521
That's why I'm here. I'm here for that.
714
00:40:48,946 --> 00:40:50,322
[explosions]
715
00:40:51,323 --> 00:40:52,533
[reporter] Hour after hour,
716
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:55,744
the thunder of Russian guns
rolls around this border area.
717
00:40:56,245 --> 00:40:57,997
They're aimed at Chechen militants.
718
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,999
[explosions and artillery fire]
719
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:04,628
In the late 1990s, Chechens were seen
as people who were being persecuted,
720
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:09,550
and the United States
was willing to give refugee status
721
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:11,427
to those fleeing persecution.
722
00:41:13,596 --> 00:41:18,100
Anzor Tsarnaev, Tamerlan's father,
saw the American dream on Hollywood movies
723
00:41:18,184 --> 00:41:20,853
and decided that that's what he wanted.
724
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:25,983
He gets to America with his wife
and their four children.
725
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:29,487
They move into this cramped apartment
in the Boston area.
726
00:41:30,946 --> 00:41:33,199
By this point, Tamerlan is a teenager.
727
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:38,370
He had learned to box in Kyrgyzstan,
and he was talented.
728
00:41:38,913 --> 00:41:40,206
And his father saw this,
729
00:41:40,289 --> 00:41:42,750
and he wanted him to become a champion.
730
00:41:43,334 --> 00:41:44,251
Watch this guy.
731
00:41:44,335 --> 00:41:45,336
Very skilled man
732
00:41:45,419 --> 00:41:47,171
who's gonna take
the championship for sure.
733
00:41:52,134 --> 00:41:56,764
[Allan] The first time I met Tamerlan
was around 2008.
734
00:41:57,431 --> 00:41:58,933
His father had trained him.
735
00:41:59,016 --> 00:42:00,476
Very intense guy.
736
00:42:01,727 --> 00:42:03,395
He rode him to be the best.
737
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,190
So Tamerlan, he was very on point.
738
00:42:06,857 --> 00:42:09,068
I was really impressed
with his work ethic.
739
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:11,904
And he was very effective in the ring.
740
00:42:11,987 --> 00:42:16,951
[boxing announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen, Tamerlan Tsarnaev!
741
00:42:17,034 --> 00:42:19,245
He was like a man boxing kids.
742
00:42:19,328 --> 00:42:20,913
[intense music]
743
00:42:26,168 --> 00:42:27,461
[crowd cheering]
744
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:34,760
Um, ahem...
745
00:42:35,844 --> 00:42:37,054
The year before the Olympics,
746
00:42:37,137 --> 00:42:39,014
he was doing phenomenally well
747
00:42:39,098 --> 00:42:41,183
and he was winning all of his matches.
748
00:42:41,267 --> 00:42:45,604
[boxing announcer]
The winner! Tamerlan Tsarnaev!
749
00:42:45,688 --> 00:42:46,522
[applause]
750
00:42:46,605 --> 00:42:48,274
[boxing announcer speaking indistinctly]
751
00:42:51,402 --> 00:42:54,405
[Filipov]
Anzor Tsarnaev would brag to his friends:
752
00:42:54,488 --> 00:42:57,116
"My son is gonna be
on the US Olympic boxing team."
753
00:42:58,242 --> 00:43:01,328
I not only believed
that he could make the Olympics,
754
00:43:01,412 --> 00:43:04,039
but he had a good chance
of winning a medal.
755
00:43:04,123 --> 00:43:05,416
You excited?
756
00:43:05,499 --> 00:43:07,209
Yeah. Why not?
757
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:09,670
You know?
758
00:43:10,754 --> 00:43:12,548
[Allan] But we later found out
759
00:43:12,631 --> 00:43:16,010
that he wasn't gonna be able
to go to the Olympic trials.
760
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:19,179
That right overhand's there all day.
761
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,890
That left hook
when he drops his right hand.
762
00:43:24,143 --> 00:43:25,603
The rule change was what did it.
763
00:43:26,270 --> 00:43:29,565
To make it onto the Olympic team,
you had to be a US citizen.
764
00:43:29,648 --> 00:43:31,008
And Tamerlan, he wasn't a citizen.
765
00:43:32,151 --> 00:43:35,195
[Allan] The way he presented
the Olympic situation to me
766
00:43:35,279 --> 00:43:36,655
boiled down to,
767
00:43:36,739 --> 00:43:40,326
"I'm Muslim, they don't want me
to represent the United States."
768
00:43:40,409 --> 00:43:41,827
"So it's not gonna happen."
769
00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:43,746
I said, "You could go professional."
770
00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:45,956
"You know, there are many things
we can do and..."
771
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,374
"No, it's all rigged."
772
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:50,711
"I'm Muslim,
and it's not gonna work out for me."
773
00:43:50,794 --> 00:43:51,712
And at this point,
774
00:43:51,795 --> 00:43:55,132
you start
to really sense his disillusionment.
775
00:43:55,883 --> 00:43:58,010
He really pushed deeper into religion.
776
00:43:58,093 --> 00:44:00,095
[ominous music]
777
00:44:01,722 --> 00:44:05,934
[man] One time we had a guest speaker,
and the subject was Martin Luther King.
778
00:44:06,435 --> 00:44:09,396
And what he stood for.
Uh, what kind of person he was.
779
00:44:09,980 --> 00:44:12,483
Tamerlan stood up and shouted.
780
00:44:12,566 --> 00:44:15,402
"Why are we
to celebrate Martin Luther King?"
781
00:44:15,486 --> 00:44:16,570
"He's not a Muslim."
782
00:44:17,071 --> 00:44:20,074
"We should be following
and celebrating only the Prophet."
783
00:44:20,949 --> 00:44:23,827
For anyone during a sermon
to voice discontent
784
00:44:23,911 --> 00:44:26,205
as vehemently as he did,
785
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:29,708
it was kind of really upsetting
for everyone.
786
00:44:29,792 --> 00:44:32,670
Um, and very unusual.
787
00:44:32,753 --> 00:44:36,965
Tamerlan's rhetoric
about the Zionist conspiracies
788
00:44:37,049 --> 00:44:38,509
became a lot more animated.
789
00:44:38,592 --> 00:44:41,804
I think Tamerlan used Islam as a tool
790
00:44:41,887 --> 00:44:46,225
to justify his discontent
of where his life was going.
791
00:44:46,308 --> 00:44:48,560
The idea that it's not, "We failed."
792
00:44:48,644 --> 00:44:50,312
It's, "This society is built
793
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:52,648
against Muslims, against us."
794
00:44:53,482 --> 00:44:55,526
[Allan]
He would say that the Muslim nations
795
00:44:55,609 --> 00:44:56,735
were being stomped on
796
00:44:56,819 --> 00:44:57,945
by the West,
797
00:44:58,028 --> 00:44:59,530
their oil taken.
798
00:44:59,613 --> 00:45:02,408
Israel and the rich Jews were behind it.
799
00:45:02,491 --> 00:45:04,535
Kind of a global conspiracy.
800
00:45:04,618 --> 00:45:07,871
He's started to overtly associate
with his religion.
801
00:45:07,955 --> 00:45:10,916
Was wearing the skull cap
with a big beard.
802
00:45:10,999 --> 00:45:13,001
[ominous music]
803
00:45:18,841 --> 00:45:20,676
[man] Approximately 2:30 p.m. today,
804
00:45:20,759 --> 00:45:21,927
the Waltham police responded
805
00:45:22,010 --> 00:45:24,847
to this scene at 12 Harding Avenue.
806
00:45:24,930 --> 00:45:28,767
Uh, there are three dead bodies.
Very graphic crime scene.
807
00:45:28,851 --> 00:45:32,563
This is a fluid, ongoing investigation.
808
00:45:32,646 --> 00:45:35,524
[news anchor] Two of the three victims
lived nearby in Cambridge, Mass.
809
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:38,444
The third victim
was 25-year-old Brendon Mess.
810
00:45:38,527 --> 00:45:40,946
He was a local mixed martial arts fighter.
811
00:45:41,029 --> 00:45:43,824
Brandon Mess
was Tamerlan's best friend at the time.
812
00:45:43,907 --> 00:45:46,910
They always came to the gym together.
I know they went out together.
813
00:45:48,495 --> 00:45:51,290
The following day,
Tamerlan came into the gym.
814
00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:54,001
I said to him,
815
00:45:54,084 --> 00:45:56,128
"Sorry to hear what happened to Brendan."
816
00:45:56,879 --> 00:46:00,424
His response really, really unsettled me.
817
00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:04,386
He said, "You do bad things,
you sell drugs,
818
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:06,722
that's the type of stuff
that happens to you."
819
00:46:09,057 --> 00:46:11,351
Then suddenly, Tamerlan disappeared.
820
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:12,644
And when he came back,
821
00:46:12,728 --> 00:46:13,937
he was quite different.
822
00:46:16,273 --> 00:46:19,693
[Filipov] Tamerlan goes to Dagestan
in the summer of 2012.
823
00:46:22,404 --> 00:46:26,700
The FBI get a memo from the FSB,
the Russian Security Service.
824
00:46:26,784 --> 00:46:29,995
Tamerlan had been recorded
on a phone call saying the word "jihad."
825
00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:34,374
And that's what led
to the Guardians screening.
826
00:46:35,334 --> 00:46:37,795
But the FBI had deduced
that he doesn't pose a threat.
827
00:46:39,338 --> 00:46:40,338
They let him go.
828
00:46:40,380 --> 00:46:41,757
[sirens blaring]
829
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:46,148
[DesLauriers] When we identified Tamerlan,
830
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:48,222
we didn't know if any of his associates
831
00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:49,785
that might have more bombs out there.
832
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,600
At that point we looked at his background,
833
00:46:51,683 --> 00:46:53,644
his friends, family members.
834
00:46:54,686 --> 00:46:57,856
We quickly learned his younger brother
was named Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
835
00:47:00,734 --> 00:47:02,986
We obtained
his driver's license photograph.
836
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:06,198
We matched that up
with the photos from the bombing.
837
00:47:09,701 --> 00:47:10,577
At that point,
838
00:47:10,661 --> 00:47:12,329
we knew he was the second bomber.
839
00:47:13,372 --> 00:47:17,501
Black Hat is Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
And Dzhokhar is White Hat.
840
00:47:17,584 --> 00:47:18,836
That's his brother.
841
00:47:19,336 --> 00:47:22,548
[DesLauriers] We needed to find Dzhokhar
as quickly as possible.
842
00:47:23,632 --> 00:47:25,217
And we began the search
843
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:26,844
for the second suspect.
844
00:47:26,927 --> 00:47:29,763
We were activating
a grid search of Watertown.
845
00:47:29,847 --> 00:47:31,890
[DesLauriers]
They go into a tactical mode,
846
00:47:31,974 --> 00:47:33,392
going 20 blocks out
847
00:47:33,475 --> 00:47:35,060
in every direction from that Mercedes,
848
00:47:35,143 --> 00:47:37,187
the car they dumped after the carjacking.
849
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:40,023
[Evans] We were searching house by house,
850
00:47:40,107 --> 00:47:41,108
block by block
851
00:47:41,942 --> 00:47:43,151
from the middle out.
852
00:47:43,235 --> 00:47:46,864
Is he in the neighborhood? Did he get out?
Is he back home? Where is he?
853
00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:49,988
[Davis] I've been involved
in thousands of searches.
854
00:47:50,033 --> 00:47:54,288
You know, sometimes they get out,
and other times they just hunker down.
855
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:56,123
And I was hoping that it was the latter.
856
00:47:56,206 --> 00:47:58,208
[indistinct police radio chatter]
857
00:47:58,292 --> 00:48:01,336
But it had been two to three hours,
and we hadn't found anyone.
858
00:48:02,254 --> 00:48:05,299
Every minute that passes
is a possibility of him getting away.
859
00:48:05,382 --> 00:48:07,301
That was a scary moment
in the investigation.
860
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:09,428
We don't know how big of a group
we're dealing with.
861
00:48:09,511 --> 00:48:13,932
We were anticipating the potential
of the activation of a larger cell
862
00:48:14,016 --> 00:48:15,016
who would attack.
863
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:17,895
This was a massive national manhunt,
864
00:48:17,978 --> 00:48:20,063
unprecedented
in US law enforcement history.
865
00:48:20,939 --> 00:48:22,733
We're asking people to shelter in place.
866
00:48:22,816 --> 00:48:25,903
[reporter 1] The city on lockdown.
This is unprecedented.
867
00:48:25,986 --> 00:48:27,821
[reporter 2]
Several hundred police officers
868
00:48:27,905 --> 00:48:29,615
are scouring these streets
869
00:48:29,698 --> 00:48:31,116
for a man they are convinced
870
00:48:31,199 --> 00:48:32,409
is a terrorist
871
00:48:32,492 --> 00:48:34,620
who has come here to kill people.
872
00:48:37,831 --> 00:48:39,374
