• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I am Jim Calstrom, former head of the FBI office
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in New York.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: As the violence increased, the FBI worked with the local
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: police to launch a complex undercover operation. Its mission was
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to get this fugitive from his hideout, with the promise
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of a big hit, and get him out of the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: streets forever. Amden, New Jersey, is located just on the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: other side of the river from Philadelphia. It's one of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the poorest and most criminal cities in the United States.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: On February 12, 1997, Agent Steven Leone patrols the street.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It's 4.20 a.m.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Agent Leone stops to get up with some papers.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I heard a lot of shots coming from the east
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: side of Camden.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Shots of more than 50 rounds.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not unusual to hear shots in Camden, so
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it's something common. Intenté localizar la zona general antes de
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: pedir ayuda para que no hubiera policías corriendo por todas partes.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: El oficial Leone condujo hacia la zona de los disparos.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Las calles estaban desiertas hasta que apareció un auto sospechoso.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: El oficial Leone se detuvo detrás del auto.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Then it seemed that the vehicle saw that I was
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: a patrol vehicle and turned left. I sat in the seat.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And then I got up and I could taste my
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: own blood. Officer Leone had received a shot in the face.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Somehow he managed to get out of his vehicle. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: got out of the car to take a tactical position
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: in the back of my vehicle in case my attackers
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: tried to return or if they were in the area.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I knew he was looking at me. I knew he
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: had a bullet in his face and in his head.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And I didn't know how bad he was hurt.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Call for Ravi.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Fallen people.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Wounded people.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Agent needs immediate help.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: My location. Fire! In a matter of minutes, the Camden
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: police and rescue units came to the scene. Despite their wounds,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Agent Leone gives them a description of the shooter's car.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Paramedics try to stabilize him to transfer him to a
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: nearby hospital. The agent has bullet fragments embedded in his face.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Three hit me in the scalp, one in the left eye,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: one in the right eye, and a piece of my nose.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You're lucky not to lose sight.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Paramedics quickly take Agent Leone to the hospital, while the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: investigators register the place in search of evidence. The county prosecutor,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Lee Solomon.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: The idea that someone is as shameless and arrogant as.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: To shoot a gun at a police officer is something
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: against which we mobilize very quickly.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: The investigators register the area in search of the shooter's vehicle.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: The police is called to a house not very far
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: from the crime scene. A neighbor heard shots that same afternoon.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: You received a call from the staff here. They realized
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: that the main door was full of bullet holes. Did
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you hear something knocking on the door?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: According to the man, that same.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Night someone tried to knock down the main door to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: enter through.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: The neighbor took his gun away. The intruders heard him
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: move in the house and opened fire. The neighbor turned
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: off the fire, which forced the attackers to retreat. The
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: police believe that the attack was what they call a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: ninja-style robbery in which armed masked men invade.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: A house to steal drugs and money. More than 50
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: rounds were fired at the house.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: One of the bullets went through a wall, a refrigerator,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the back wall, the residence, and the projectile was never found.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Another one went through the roof, the floor, the roof,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: and the roof. Again, the projectile was never found. It
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: was just a large caliber, so there.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Were reasons to worry. Later that morning, a few blocks away,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the police discovered an abandoned.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Vehicle.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: The car coincided with the description of Agent Leone of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the vehicle used in the shooting. There were broken crystals.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: In the quarry, there were bullet holes from the AR-15
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and the.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: 45 caliber pistol. And there was blood in the vehicle.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: For the investigators, it was evident that one of the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: authors had been injured. The agent checked the license plate.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: The car belongs to a woman.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Who lives in the neighborhood. Unit K-9 detected the smell
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of the car and dragged it to the same address
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: as the license plate of the vehicle. And they found
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: two or three apples from where I was.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: The place where they shot me was.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: A SWAT team prepares to assault the house in case
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the shooters were still inside. And there was a primary
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: school that was closed that day because they thought there
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: would be a shooting with these individuals who.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Were heavily armed. Inside the house, there is no trace of.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: The gunman. Instead, the SWAT team finds a woman who,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: according to the police, is the owner of the vehicle.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Who do you think you are? You have this in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: my house.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Are you okay? They find out that he is the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: girlfriend of Charlie Rodríguez, one of the most violent criminals
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: in Camden. Between 1984 and 1989, Charlie was arrested for
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: charges related to weapons and drugs, as well as for
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: making terrorist threats.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Crazy Charlie was known as a guy capable of doing anything.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: No violent act escaped him.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Crazy Charlie was the type of person who would shoot
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: a policeman, an old man, a young man.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He would shoot indiscriminately. SWAT does not find a trace
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of the gunman. The police register the facilities and interrogate
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the bride.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: What are you doing at my house?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: What's your name? She tells them that she was at
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: work at the time of the shooting and that she
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: had reported the theft of her car. The investigators register
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the house and find drops of blood. They call the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: forensics to collect.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The blood as evidence.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Investigators inspect the area and interrogate the neighbors of the girlfriend.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: They find someone who remembers.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Having seen some men leave the girlfriend's house very early
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: that morning. After checking a reconnaissance wheel, he identifies one
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of the men. According to police records, the suspect is
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Jose Baez in conditional freedom for involuntary homicide and gun violations.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: The police dragged Bass to an apartment in New Jersey.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: The dangerous ex-convict is the only link that the investigators
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: have with a possible police killer.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: A violent murder in New Jersey ends with the shooting.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: shooting of a police officer.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: The evidence leads the investigators to Jose Baez, an ex-convict
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: who they believe was involved in the shooting.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The case is quickly detained.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Turn around. Los investigadores notan que el sospechoso tiene una
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: herida en una de sus manos. Recientemente se había encontrado
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: algún tipo de herida de bala en la mano e
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: intentó coser el mismo con hilo. La policía arresta a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Baze por violaciones de la libertad condicional y toma una
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: muestra de su sangre para realizar pruebas de ADN. En
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: el laboratorio, la sangre de Baze se compara con las
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: pruebas reunidas en el tiroteo de Leone.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And they were able to cut his blood with the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: blood found in the crime scene, in the vehicle and
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in the house. Now, the investigators have evidence that Vallas
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: was in the car when they shot Agent Leone. But
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: they don't have evidence that suggests that he really pressed
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the trigger.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: At first, Vallas refuses to talk to the authorities. But
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: after two weeks under custody, he asks to meet with
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the investigators.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: You have already read your rights, so I have to
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: review it with you. I am a Kampden County investigator
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: and I am trying to gather information about the shooting.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Valles finally accepts to speak, but only if the police
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: take measures to protect his family.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Charlie Rodriguez?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: He says that Charlie Rodriguez, the crazy Charlie, was involved
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in the ninja robbery and the shooting of Leone.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I think Valles ended.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Up cooperating because there is Charlie. had threatened his family, and...
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: for fear that something could happen, he had cooperated.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: The County Prosecutor's Office of Camden obtains an arrest warrant
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: against Charlie Rodriguez for attempted murder of a police.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Officer.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: They also offer a $ 1, 000 reward for information that leads
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to his arrest. The state of New Jersey places Charlie
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez on the list of the 10 most wanted fugitives.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: There was a chase every day. When the Camden police
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and the Camden County were looking for Charlie Rodriguez.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Although Charlie is very well known throughout Camden, the residents
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: are too afraid to talk to the police.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Fear is a powerful weapon for someone like Charlie Rodriguez.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: In the month after the shooting of Officer Leone, the
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: police interrogate their informants. The only thing they discover is
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that Charlie is hiding somewhere on the other side of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the river, in Philadelphia. As it is believed that Charlie
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: fled to another state, the local police resort.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: To the FBI in search.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Of help. FBI agent John Tam obtains a federal order
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and conducts a multi-state search of Charlie Rodriguez. I start
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: by getting good photos, reviewing their criminal history, and I
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: also review the penitentiary records to see who were their cellmates,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: who visited them while they were in prison, and I
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: try to identify the people with whom they could have
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: been in contact.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: FBI agents launch a wide network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: But just like the local police, the FBI discovers that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the agent is too terrorized to talk.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: They knew about Charlie.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Charlie Rodriguez had a cold blooded murder fame. The agent
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: was very cautious when it came.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: To talking about him.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: The agents set up surveillance on Charlie's girlfriend, hoping to
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: take them to Charlie. Rodriguez had enough self-discipline to stay
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: away from her and keep her away from him.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: So that didn't help us either.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: During the following months, the agents continued to interrogate their
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: informants and discovered that Charlie was hiding in a marginal
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: neighborhood in Philadelphia.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Known as Badlands.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: A very dangerous neighborhood with a lot of drug activity.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Difficult to watch. People live there intimidated by criminals.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It is a difficult place to find a fugitive because
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: there is very little cooperation.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The SWAT teams from the FBI find the Badlands buildings
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: where Charlie is believed to be hiding.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: We sent the group to work on fugitives in Philadelphia.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: At 5 in the morning, we arrived at the place.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: We were catching someone.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It could be a criminal, but it wouldn't be Charlie Rodriguez.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You know, we would end up arresting someone who was
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: looking for something else. At the same time, in the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: streets of Camden, plagued with criminals, the FBI is carrying
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: out a non-related drug investigation.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And Special Agent Jim Walsh receives an unexpected blow.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: We had obtained information that Charlie Rodriguez.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: His brother Joseph, and other people planned to commit a
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: robbery at a bank or a armored vehicle in the
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: near future.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Joseph Rodriguez had previously been convicted of murder in a
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: infamous crime related to drugs that occurred in the early
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: 90s when two teenagers.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Were killed in a drug sales corner in South Camden.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: According to a informant, Charlie, Joe and Rodriguez have as
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: a target a bank in particular, in the nearby city
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: of Woodland, New Jersey. The agents established surveillance teams. If
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the Rodriguez brothers robbed the bank, the local police would
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: be close ready to carry out the arrest.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But they spend weeks without signal of the thieves.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Due to the needs of staff, we could not maintain
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: the surveillance and, after approximately a month and a half,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: we had to interrupt them.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: On July 19, 1997, a.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Few weeks after the FBI finished the surveillance, several heavily
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: armed men assaulted the Woodland Bank. Two of the thieves
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: forced the cashier to empty the cash registers. The remaining
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: thief watches the vestibule and screams how much time has passed.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: A thief tries to force the supervisor.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: To open the vault. She tells him she can't. The
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: vault is locked.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: He tells him that if he doesn't open the vault,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: he'll kill her. In New Jersey, the shooting of a
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Camden police officer begins a persecution of the FBI of
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a violent ex-convict named Charlie Rodriguez. Five months later, three
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: men with semi-automatic weapons break into a bank in Woodland,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. The bank supervisor can't open the vault.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: He's on time.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: One of the thieves threatens to kill him. The thieves
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: are all out of time.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They have to leave before the police arrive.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: The bank supervisor escapes alive. FBI agents John Tam and
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Jim Walsh investigate the robbery.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The bank's customers and employees are terrified.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Special Agent Jim Walsh.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: All individuals were upset. A woman had to be taken
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: to the hospital. She was so scared that she suffered
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a mild heart attack. Because of the violent nature of
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: the robbery at the bank, I immediately knew that it
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: was Charlie Rodriguez's brother.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Los agentes y la policía vigilaron los puentes hacia Pensilvania
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: y la autopista de Nueva Jersey.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: En busca de los hermanos Rodríguez. No encontraron ni rastro
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: de ellos. En la oficina del FBI en Cherry Hill,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Nueva Jersey.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Los agentes Walshie y Tam estudian las fotos de vigilancia
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: y las grabaciones de las cámaras de seguridad del banco
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: en busca de pistas.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: No los antecedentes, es el de... Agente especial jumped out.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: We were able to see well the weapons they were carrying,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: which were semi-automatic rifles, which is known as 15. It
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: is a very dangerous weapon because the standard bulletproof vest
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of the order forces does not stop that shot. Although
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the agents are sure that the thieves are Charlie and
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Joey Rodriguez, they cannot identify them for sure due to surveillance.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: They could not identify them in any way.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: They were completely dressed, they wore gloves, masks, caps.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Joey Rodriguez continues to live openly in Camden.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: The FBI does not have enough evidence to arrest him.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Agents watch Joey with the hope that he will take
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: them to Charlie.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: He realized that he was the connection, if there was any.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Agentes vigilan a Joey con la esperanza de que los
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: lleve hasta Charlie. Se dio cuenta de que él era
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: la conexión, si es que había alguna con su hermano,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: y se mantuvieron alejados el uno del otro. Durante los
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: siguientes siete meses, la zona de Camden, Nueva Jersey, se ve.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Afectada por una serie de robos a bancos.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Los hermanos Rodríguez son posibles sospechosos, pero la policía no
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: tiene pruebas contundentes que los vinculen con los crímenes. Morristown,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: New Jersey.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: A residential area in the north of Camden.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: May 23, 19... More than a year after Agent Leone
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: was shot.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Three men arrive at a Morristown bank just before 8.30 a.m.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Everyone carries assault rifles or automatic guns.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: The bank's doors are still closed. The thieves have lost
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: precious time.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: They realize that a bank employee has probably activated.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: The silent alarm. Two of the thieves force the.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Cashiers to empty the cash registers.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: A third gunman watches the vestibule and shouts how much
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: time has passed.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The thieves are scared.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: They decide that the cashiers move too slowly. The thieves.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Scare a cashier who arrives late. Hoy se de la
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: huida no arranca. Los ladrones entran en pánico. Amenazan a
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: la cajera y le exigen las.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Llaves del coche. La fuga se produce en su coche.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Passing in the thief's ammunition mode, agents Tamm and Walsh
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: decide that it was probably the Rodriguez brothers. Same characteristics.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Robbery surveillance photos provide even more clues.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: The weapons, the masks and even some of the clothes
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: seem identical to those used in the robbery of the
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Woodland Bank.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: The photos show that in fact it was a similar
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: type of clothing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: But the two agents lack enough evidence to accuse any
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: of the Rodriguez brothers of robbing a bank.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: The way the gang works seems to be evolving.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: With each robbery, they.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Become more dangerous.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: The violence of this group was going to increase. In
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: the end, someone was going to die.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Or a bank employee, a client, or an agent of
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: police who would respond to a robbery complaint to a bank.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: There is no doubt that someone.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Is going to die.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Agents Tom and Walsh meet with the local police forces
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: in the cities and towns of Camden, New Jersey to
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: inform them.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: About the movement of the gang.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: At the end of July 1998, Agent Tom receives an
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: intriguing clue from Lieutenant Roy Whitmore of the Merchantville, New
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Jersey Police Department. I know a gentleman.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: He said, I have a person who grew up with Rodríguez.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Y que conoce bastante bien a su hermano, que podría
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: estar dispuesto a localizar al loco Charlie Rodríguez. Un año
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: y medio después de iniciada la investigación, el FBI tiene
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: la posibilidad de encontrar a un informante con acceso a
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: información sobre Charlie Rodríguez. Fue el mayor avance posible, porque
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: habíamos estado buscando a ciegas, a alguien que cooperara con
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: nosotros y entregará a Charlie Rodríguez. El Teniente Wilmore organizó
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: una reunión so that I could get to know this
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: person and formulate a way to get Charlie Rodriguez out
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of wherever he was hiding in Philadelphia. The informant is
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: a former police officer who was forced to resign due
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: to a minor crime.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: With weapons. Well, I thought he was smart, surprisingly.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: He was eloquent, taking into account that he lived in
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: a very harsh urban environment.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Y me pareció honesto y fiable.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: El ex policía dice que quiere detener a Charlie antes
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: de que alguien más, especialmente un agente de policía, reciba
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: un disparo o muera.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Hablamos de su relación con Joseph Rodríguez.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Los agentes teorizan que Joseph está de algún modo en
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: contacto con su hermano para poder planear robos. I suggested
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: that maybe I could find out something about Joseph, about
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: if he ever saw his brother, if he was in
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: contact with him, how he got in touch with him,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and the frequency of contact, because maybe we could take
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: advantage of that to locate Charlie Rodriguez. The agents Tammy
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Walsh devise a plan to use their informant to get
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Charlie out of his hideout.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: They know that the ex-policeman used to sell weapons.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: He had worked for a smuggler. of firearms, and that
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: was known in the streets of South Camden. But now
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the ex-policeman has it prohibited by law to own or
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: sell firearms. The agents decide to use the informant's background
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: to help establish their cover.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I was going.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: To see Joseph Rodriguez and... and I was going to
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: ask him if he was interested in buying a gun.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: We thought it would be a good introduction, and now
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I wanted to get into the criminal.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Sabía que eso interesaría a Charlie Rodríguez debido a su
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: naturaleza delictiva violenta. Los delincuentes siempre están interesados en adquirir
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: nuevas armas. Pueden deshacerse de cualquier arma que hayan usado
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: antes y pasar a otra que no esté relacionada con
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: sus delitos anteriores.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: El ex policía.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Acepta acercarse a Joey en una reunión familiar unos días después.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Al principio, Joey se muestra cauteloso.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Joseph sabía que había sido agente de policía.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: They had fired him from the department and he used
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: this as a presentation.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Unjustly, I was fooled by the police.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the party. A few days.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Later, Joey gets in touch with the ex-policeman and organizes
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: a meeting.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: He says, yes, I've talked to Charlie. About it, Charlie
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: is interested in buying the gun.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It won't take long.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: So we knew that we were progressing and we knew
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: that Charlie Rodriguez was close.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Agent Tam tells the undercover ex-police that they need to
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: meet with Charlie face to face. Joseph Rodriguez would be
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: delighted to buy the gun and give it to Charlie Rodriguez,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: but that would not help us.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: He took the gun.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: So at that moment I tell you that I was
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: going to have to give the gun to Charlie Rodriguez
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: so that....
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Could arrest him.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: The FBI has no intention of delivering a weapon that
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: works on any of the Rodriguez brothers. The ex-policeman goes
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: to Joey's apartment to try to organize the sale.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: The source was taking tremendous risks.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, they would have killed him immediately if
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Charlie or Joey Rodriguez found out that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: He was cooperating with the others.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Amden, New Jersey. An ex-policeman lands in a dangerous undercover
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: operation for the FBI. Charlie Rodriguez, also known as Crazy Charlie,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: is suspected of shooting a police officer and robbing banks.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: The ex-policeman tries to infiltrate Charlie's gang, offering to sell
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: him weapons. El informante encubierto se reúne con el hermano
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: de Charlie. Joey Rodriguez, un ex convicto que ha cumplido
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: condena por homicidio involuntario, comprueba si lleva micrófono. Sí, no
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: lo veo.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: No llevaba ningún dispositivo de grabación, ni nada, porque temíamos
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: que si lo encontrábamos lo matarían de inmediato.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Little by little, through a series of meetings, the ex-policeman
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: gains the trust of Joey. The informant on the cover
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: tells the agents of the FBI John Tam and Jim
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Walsh that Joey even asked for advice on an imminent robbery.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I told him.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: It's a good idea. Tell them you're interested in participating.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Y pensé que tal vez eso nos daría más información
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: sobre dónde estaban, ya sabes, dónde podría reunirse. Podríamos interrumpirlos
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: antes de que realmente empezaran con todo. El ex policía
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: añade que Charlie Rodríguez está buscando un gran golpe esta vez.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: 100 mil dólares o más.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Le dije, bueno, entonces vamos a sugerirles un delito para
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: que lo cometa.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: If they want to steal someone, we will give them
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a goal to steal.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: The Walsh and Tam agents plan an undercover operation to
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: attract Charlie Rodriguez to the public light without putting the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: public in danger.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: The key is credibility.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: The criminal has to believe the scenario. There has to
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: be money. There has to be opportunity. There has to.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Be a plausibility that the crime can be committed.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I suggested that we steal an armored vehicle that serves
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: an automatic truck on the New Jersey toll road. Because
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: this would give us an environment in which we could
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: seal a rest area where the automatic truck was located
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: and catch them there. Agent Stamm and Walsh chose a
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: place that they considered to work well. And we select
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: a rest area located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: rest area was located below the ground level of the
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: surrounding community. So if there were shots or something like that,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: the bullets would tend to shoot towards a hill instead
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: of flying all over the place.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: The most important thing for us was that we felt that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: He was in a place that we could assure and control.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: The man in the cover proposes theft to Joey, who
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: evaluates carefully each of his words.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Why don't.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: You join me with your part? He was able to
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: return with Joseph Rodriguez and tell him, I know a
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: driver of a armored vehicle who is willing to cooperate
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: with us and who had an important debt for sports bets,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: gambling debts and who wanted to participate in the profits
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: of the robbery. The former undercover police officer says that
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: the driver of the armored vehicle will be his infiltrator
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: and will give them more.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Than $ 200, 000.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Dos días después, Joey vuelve a hablar con el ex
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: policía con una respuesta.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Joseph dice, Charlie cree que es una gran idea. Sigamos
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: adelante con un plan y hagamos esto.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Joey dice que quiere revisar el área de descanso con
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: una tercera persona.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Quién es?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Mío. El ex policía está preocupado por el repentino cambio
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: de planes.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Luis dice, no te preocupes por él. Está bien.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You can trust him. The name of the newcomer is
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: José Sto. Sto had a wide and violent criminal history.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: He had also been convicted of second degree.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Murder and was in probation.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: They led him to the rest area and basically they
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: confirmed it to see if they would be able to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: carry out the robbery. El área de descanso tiene una
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: vía de servicio secundaria.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Les permitirá entrar y salir del área de descanso sin
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: tener que ir a la autopista. Sabían que podrían escapar
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: y probablemente nadie los vería. A los ladrones les gustó
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: todo sobre el lugar. Y al FBI también les gustó
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: todo sobre su ubicación. Porque nos permitiría aislarlos en una
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: zona de la que no podrían escapar. and where the
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: public in general would be protected from any type of
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: activity with firearms, shots or anything that could happen. We
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: drive around the rest area, following the route that the
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: armored vehicle will take when it approaches the ATM. Joseph
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez knew the place and felt comfortable with it. So
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: instead of the cooperator having to sell it to Charlie Rodriguez,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Joseph Rodriguez sold it to him for us. The informant
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: on the roof tells the FBI that Charlie Rodriguez is
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: the target.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Of the operation on the roof. Has he approved the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: robbery for August 27? With a plan already in motion,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the FBI contacts the agency responsible.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: For the toll road in the rest area, the New
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Jersey State Police. Agent TAM reports to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Dunlop.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Dunlop's soldiers will close the entire area and the toll
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: road to protect the public. We always have news helicopters
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: in the air.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: The radio stations would have said that there were reinforcements
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: on the highway. For this to work, we had to
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: coordinate to close this.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Rest area just moments before our suspects arrived, so that
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: it would not scare anyone. SWAT teams would be located
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: at the entrance of the highway and inside the buildings
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: of the rest area.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Three days.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Before the undercover operation, Tamm and Walsh would meet with
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: the SWAT leaders, the FBI and the police to review
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: the plan to.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Capture the Rodriguez brothers in Sotot. We knew they were
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: going to be heavily armed.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: And we knew that, at least in Charles Rodriguez's case,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: they had a tendency to shoot people when they faced them.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: The plan is to evacuate the rest area minutes before
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the Rodriguez gang arrives.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: The FBI.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Informant will park behind the rest area, but then walk
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: to the front of the building to get out of
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: the fire line. The SWAT team will hide inside a
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: spare truck. Reinforced snipers on a roof.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: A crane will go down the road of access driven
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: by an agent.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: And plan to immobilize the car with the Rodriguez brothers.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: In that place where they couldn't get it out.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Once the gang is caught, the SWAT team will carry
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: out the arrest.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: The plan was good in the sense that if they
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: had a little common sense, they would surrender.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: August 27, 1998. Agents and state police meet in the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: rest area. Understood.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: The trap is set.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Easton.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: The madness of Charlie is considered a very dangerous and
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: unpredictable criminal. I think that everyone who participated in this
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: operation knew that there was a great possibility that he
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: would not fall so easily. As much as we planned it,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: there was always the possibility that he would want to shoot.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Amden, New Jersey.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Charlie Rodriguez is suspected of hurting a police officer and
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: robbing banks.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: August 27, 1998.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: FBI agents John Tomey and Jim Walsh have devised a
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: complex undercover operation to catch the dangerous fugitive and his team.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Almost 100 agents and law enforcement officers.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Are stationed in a New Jersey rest area¿ Pero Charlie
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: y su equipo no se presentaron?
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Nos preguntamos dónde nos habíamos equivocado.¿ Habían averiguado algo al respecto?¿
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Sospechan ahora de una fuente?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Los agentes están preocupados por su informante, un ex policía
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: que les ayudó a infiltrarse en la banda de Rodríguez.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Si Charlie Rodríguez sabe que le han tendido una trampa,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: podría matar al informante del FBI.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Temprano esa mañana recibo una llamada del cooperador.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Me dice que los hermanos Rodriguez que iban a reunirse
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: con él en su apartamento.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: De Merchantville, New Jersey, no habían llegado.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Le pedimos a la fuente que se pusiera en contacto
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: con Joey Rodriguez y averiguara por qué no se habían presentado.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: A pesar del peligro, el agente encubierto del FBI acepta
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: hablar con Joey. Joey says that the day before, the
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Alguaciles came to look for one of the members of
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: the band, Jose Soto. Don't get close. The undercover agent
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: informs the FBI.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: About the problem.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: The Alguacil department of the county had an arrest warrant
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: against Jose Soto for not paying for the maintenance.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Of his children. Yes, he had scared them a little
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and they decided not to go ahead with the robbery.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: They returned him.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Agent Walsh asks the agents to tell Soto that the
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: only thing they want from him is a promise to
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: pay for the maintenance of his.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Children. That's right. The Rodriguez brothers and Soto feel relieved.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: The next day, Joey meets with the ex-police officer near
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the Ben Franklin Bridge to tell him that Charlie has
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: chosen a new date for the robbery.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: On September 1st. The undercover operation of the FBI has returned.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: According to his informant, Charlie and the team must arrive
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: at his apartment early in the morning of the robbery.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: All of them will drive together to the rest area.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: The possibility of arresting him in the apartment was considered. However,
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: the SWAT team members considered that it was not an
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: environment as safe as the rest area because there were
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: other people looking at the apartments above and on both sides.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: The apartment complex was next to a children's park and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a primary school. The whole environment would be horrible for
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: a violent arrest, so we wanted to get them out
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: of there.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: He agreed that we would.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Continue with the original plan and that it would be
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: carried out.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: In the rest area. The morning of the robbery.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: The undercover FBI agent waits in his apartment for the
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: team to arrive.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Until that moment, Charlie Rodriguez had not presented himself. The
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: source had not yet seen or known Charlie Rodriguez during
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: all this time.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Finally, he manages.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: To meet Charlie face to face.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: You can find a.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Chair.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to eat something.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: What do you want?
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Don.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: The source has the opportunity to go out to look for.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: orange juice and donuts.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: To take them.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Take the opportunity to call Agent Tam. Get out!
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: The robbery continues as planned.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, they are in the apartment. It's a fact.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: In the apartment, the team puts on bulletproof vests and
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: checks their weapons. The FBI infiltrator puts on a distinctive
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: baseball cap. We made him wear a baseball cap that
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: everyone would recognize so they would know he was the collaborator.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: The thieves head to the rest area in two stolen cars.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: The FBI's surveillance keeps the agents informed of the location
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: of the thieves so that they can evacuate the rest
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: area before they arrive. We closed both the rest area
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: and the highway in a 10 to 15 minute period.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: The man on the roof parks one of the stolen
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: cars in a nearby neighborhood to.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Use it as an escape car after.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: The robbery. Luego conduce a los hermanos Rodríguez y se
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: detiene en la carretera secundaria hacia el área de descanso.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Ya está allí. Los agentes del FBI se preparan para
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: la operación.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Sabía que iba a ser una operación muy peligrosa.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: La fuente iba a correr peligro, además de muchos agentes
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: y personal policial.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Mi preocupación era que no hubiera nadie gravemente herido o
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: muerto durante esta operación. We only try to arrest these people,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: causing the least number of possible injuries. The SWAT team
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: of the FBI waits inside a delivery truck.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: We had FBI snipers on the roof of the rest area.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: In case they got.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Out of the car and tried to flee or shoot
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: the agents or any other person. Almost 100 agents of
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: the law are hidden in the rest area and around them.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: No importa en cuantas de estas operaciones hayas participado, siempre
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: hay un subidón de adrenalina justo antes. Lo que pasa
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: por mi mente es que espero que no haya disparos.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Espero que nadie resulte.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Espero que podamos acabar con estas personas sin ningún problema grave.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: El informante del FBI conduce al equipo por una carretera
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: secundaria hasta el área de descanso.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: And the front parked exactly where they told him to.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Our plan was to use.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: His vehicle by dressing him with a crane, which would
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: probably make them lose their firearms.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: And then they would face the SWAT team.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: The FBI agent on the crane waits for the alert signal.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: The man in the cover leaves his car.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: The main concern of this whole plan was to get
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: the source.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Out of the car, the security of the source. And
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: once he got out of the.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Car, I felt that everything would be fine.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: But before the FBI source could get out of the car,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Charlie realizes that something is wrong.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: The informant's cover is in danger of being discovered.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: A fake move now could cost him his life. Do
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: you want to travel to the trunk or do you
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: prefer to drive the car?
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: In the New Jersey.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Arrest zone. The FBI launches an undercover operation to catch
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: a gang of dangerous bank robbers.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: The leader of the gang, Charlie Rodriguez, presents a trap.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: He forces the driver.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Of the car, a collaborator of the FBI, to get
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: back in the car, asking a SWAT team of the
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: FBI to intervene. The undercover agent is trapped. This agent
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: takes a difficult decision. So I tell the brigade team
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: to keep going and execute their secondary plan, which was
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: the demolition.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: And that it also implied that the crane put the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: car in. The crane turns to immobilize the thief's car.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: When the crane approaches, Charlie tells.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Him the source.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Something happens here.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: This is a trap.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Let's get out of here.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: The undercover FBI agent who needs to protect his identity
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: moves away from the SWAT team at full speed. And
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: one of the gunmen tries to shoot the SWAT agents.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Open fire.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: When the shooting took place, I think we all said,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I hope.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: We don't end up giving our confidential source away. The
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: cloud crashed against the back of the car that was
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: about to escape. Open the door. Raise your hands.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: When it finally ended and we had these people.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Under custody, I think everyone felt a tremendous relief.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: And satisfaction because everything went well.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Incredibly, the work on the roof was not damaged. FBI
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: agents recover.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: A huge arsenal of weapons from the Rodriguez brothers in Soto. Yes,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: the amount of weapons and ammunition that was recovered.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: From the interior of this car was something that I
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: had never seen or heard before. is more firepower than
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: it would be necessary to steal a thousand banks. The
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: weapons included an AR-15 converted into automatic, a machine gun
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: with silencer, and a Chinese clone of the AK-47 also
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: converted into automatic. Each of the gunners also carried short
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: weapons with the serial numbers hammered, and dozens of fully loaded.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Magazines. In total, they had more than a thousand ammunition cartridges.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: Charlie Rodríguez made a comment that if he had known
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: what was going to happen, he would have brought his.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Grenades by hand.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: That they arrested them without anyone getting hurt with the
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: type of ammunition and weapons they carried on top was
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: an incredible feat.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: The Rodríguez brothers.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Were violent criminals. They had already killed before and would
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: kill again.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: And the only solution was to lock them up forever,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: which is what finally happened. On March 30, 2000, José
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Soma was sentenced to 37 years in a federal court
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: for attempted robbery of a armored vehicle and for crimes
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: related to weapons. Charlie and Joey Rodríguez were sentenced to
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: life imprisonment for two bank robberies, attempted robbery of a
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: armored vehicle, and crimes related to weapons.
