Killing Salazar

---

The Bratski Krug, known as the Circle of Brothers -

an international drug cartel created with blood and guns.

The man behind the empire,

Joseph "The Shark" Salazar,

also known as The Great White Shark.

Half Colombian, half Russian. Married to

the daughter of the head of the Circle.

The rise of Salazar can be described

by the trail of bodies left in his wake...

The work we have done

I think, requires a stronger foundation than ever

to address the inevitable challenges

we face in an ever-changing threat landscape

And we know that these challenges will evolve,

requiring a nimble and flexible response

by the federal government

and the many partners we engage across the country.

Our police are fighting a war

that should have been declared.

This is a war that has hurt innocent people.

Served as a catalyst to crimes of violence ...

Crimes against private property,

depleted our resources.

And I believe this is an epidemic ...

An epidemic of crack.

New York is now out of control.

Mayor Koch is asking the federal government for help

in this war against drugs

and the federal death penalty for drug dealers.

For The Independent News, I'm Ed Miller.

Jesus Christ..

Federal Agent Tom Jensen

So as you know, we are now on what is considered U.S. soil,

which means you are bound by the laws

of the United States of America.

and your answers need to be truthful.

You understand that, right?

Yes sir.

I've read your statements.

DOJ tasked your team to do

what I thought was a...

...routine transport.

And yet, in the last 24 hours

we have lost some folks

One Marshal, one DOA, one MIA

not to mention the disappearance of the

Bratski Krug boss

Joseph "El Tiburn" Salazar.

Obviously, your statements include

large areas of omission.

And I kind of want to see if

we can set up a situation

where I can clarify some of this.

You are aware of the circumstances

that led to the assignment of that day?

Skony didn't fill me in, sir.

Welcome to Missouri.

Agente Federal John Skokowski,

alias, Skony

Ok, well, allow me.

I'm sure you've heard of Operation Salazar.

I've been leading this ongoing DOJ operation

into dismantling the Bratski Krug

And Joseph "El Tiburn" Salazar,

for over 5 years now.

Did I ever tell you about how I escaped from the Russian army...

...through Afghanistan in '91,

and ended up doing hits

for Larisa's father here in Odessa?

Only every time we play chess.

Harrison, all teams in position.

Stand by:

Everybody goes on my call.

Copy that. Standing by.

OK, everybody listen up:

we move on the "go" word.

Everybody knows the drill.

All right guys, let's be ready.

What've we got?

Just so everybody knows...

72 hours ago, my team confirmed

the location of Salazar

and his number 2 man, Bruno Sinclaire.

And, green-lit the operation

once and for all, ok?

They've got this entrance down.

Everything's exactly the way we want it.

Make sure we do not kill this b*tch, you hear?

I need him alive.

Works for me.

Do you know why I love this game so much?

Because there can only be one king.

Ana...

Go to the back.

No.

Stay here.

Well...

you know what they say ...

"The king is dead,

long live the king".

- You are learning.

- I have not beaten you yet.

The day you do ...

I will give all of this to you.

Cross my heart.

Each man has his price, Sinclaire.

The important thing

is to find out what it is.

This is why I offer you my treasures ...

- Check.

- That's the word. Go! All right, let's do this.

All units, go, go, go!

Ms. Pavlovna, that's enough work for today.

Go rest.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Don't let them into the main house.

We're going to move inside.

Keep them at bay. Move it, move!

Boss, we gotta go now.

Delta team, this is Echo team.

The coast is clear.

Copy that Echo.

10-4.

Protect the entrance!

10-4.

Keep it correctly.

If someone finds subjects, code nine-six.

They've taken the garden.

Stay away from the window.

Here, put on this vest.

Keep it on a swivel, I need him alive.

It's ok.

Let them take us in.

My lawyers will have us out before dinner.

Hands up! Let me see your hands, now!

Hands!

Dead check!

Hands up, do it.

Delta Team, this is Echo Team. All is clear.

All right, get him out of here.

No...

You will go directly to jail.

A**hole.

All right. I'm gonna do the dead check.

Ok, let's get this done.

And that's the end of "El Tiburn".

In one day, Agent Darol and I

got that son of a b*tch.

Now, you wanna tell me about Barada?

With respect, sir, it should all be in my file.

Yeah, well...

like I said, my job is not to read your file,

as much as

to talk to you,

and most of that has been redacted.

That's why I'm here.

How did you end up in JPATS?

I was recruited, sir.

By John Skokowski?

He was a good man. Yes sir.

Okay, so let's back to Barada for a minute.

What do you want to know?

3 tours, the last one was with Barada.

I came home alive, barely.

Pssed off a few people along the way,

People will never understand what happens

when you travel the country.

I'm sure you understand that, sir.

If I want to stay out of jail

I guess I shouldn't really say any more.

You want to stay out of jail?

Do you think I'm here to put you in jail?

No sir.

FEDERAL TRAINING CENTER - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

Major Tom Jensen?

- That's me, Major.

- You're late, Jensen.

Our report time is 0900. I'm early.
