Carrie Stetko, Doc Fury, Robert PryceWe were on a stakeout at a Holiday Inn in Miami, waiting for this buy to go down. I was excited, we'd been after this trafficker for a long time. Thought this bust would be my big chance to impress the brass. Anyway, guy's a no show. One hour went by, then two -- nothing. Then Jack starting acting strange. Next thing I knew my face was being rammed into a mirror. My own partner was trying to kill me. Turns out the whole bust was a set up from the start. Jack was dirty, working with the guy we were after.
I'll cut you in, Carrie. There's at least 5 million in diamonds in there. That can buy both of us a nice life back in the world. How many times have we both talked about having a fresh start. Well, this is it. Those beakers finding that plane was a sign. A sign telling me it was time to go back. Now I have something to go back for.
It's a twelve hour flight to Christchurch. Anything can happen in that time. Keller is here, so we know it's still on the ground. Once that plane is in the air, we've as good as lost it. Just give us 10 minutes.
Marshal, it's Jamie. I've got some guy holding from Vostok who won't give his name, says he has to talk to you.
When you didn't come back -- we went looking for you. Found a dead guy in the other building -- that Mooney?
Cannabis Sativa. My weed, man. I've been growing it all summer and they took it. It was just budding, too.
Fine. But this is my investigation, understand? If you obstruct it in any way, I will have you detained.
So do you. Think his name's Weiss. We Wintered-over last year with him. Played cards a couple of times.
