The Trade

Previously on The Trade...

There's criminal organizations,

and their goal is to do the United States harm.

We disrupt them, we dismantle them,

we arrest them.

And ultimately, we remove them.

We know what you do. You cannot lie.

She's pregnant and she's pretty deep into it.

Are you kidding me?

I don't think she's looking to flee.

You know, if she does, she does. We'll find her.

Son of a bitch.

Substance use disorder runs in my family.

Three out of four of my grandparents died

from the disease of addiction.

And that was before the OxyContin got introduced

into our-- our society.

I'm also the mother of a young lady

who found her way to and through recovery.

Let's take our power back. Let's tell our stories

about our beautiful families

that are loved and valuable and precious human beings.

This is my friend, Cindy. Cindy and Susie. This is Kim.

-Hi, nice to meet you. -Her son's in recovery, Ryan.

Oh, okay. My daughter is as well.

Really what we do, we do services for guys

who are coming out of detox...

Our son, Andrew, is 26 years old

and is on the run.

He is a drug addict and hiding from police.

Your story just touched my heart so much.

We're gonna get rid of this disease.

-I'm telling you, we are. -We're gonna conquer it,

one way or another.

Every day the phone rings,

you wonder if that's gonna be the time

that you get the call

that they're not here anymore.

-Hey, how are you? -How are you?

-Hi. -How about you?

-I'm okay. -Good. Good to see you.

-You too. -These are my friends.

These are from Akron Say No to Dope.

-Hi! -This is Laura.

-Todd. Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, Todd.

-Dan. Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

-And Chris. That's Chris Kimmel. -How you doing?

-How are you, Chris? -Pleasure.

We've got a son that's missing,

and he's too afraid to come...

-He's on the run. -...forward. Yeah.

He's underground. Um, so...

He's got warrants. One is for felony fleeing.

- -Yeah.

But see, I don't know where he's at.

It's-- it was two months between phone calls, so...

Well, we think it's somewhere between, like,

Albrecht and High Grove.

Carter. I'm gonna bring up a picture.

All right, thanks, Chris. Thanks, Todd.

I appreciate it. You helped my heart.

We will help you out.

Hey, baby.

Okay. Let's go walk.

How are you guys?

Good. Did you guys lose somebody or have somebody...

Okay. But at least you know they're alive and they're safe.

-That's the biggest thing. -That's how I look at it.

Mm-hm. Every little step of the way.

Hope after heroin!

Hey, Chris.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hm.

Okay.

When I drove down the street to his friend's house,

I saw a beat-up Mazda.

I told ya, I know it.

I know it, Chris.

He's...

I know.

I'll call the judge on Monday morning.

And we'll see if we can't work something out.

But, I mean, if he'll at least talk to...

Tell him that.

Say we'll pick you up Monday morning

and we'll walk into the courtroom with you then.

I'll pay for the airline ticket.

All right, I just gotta make sure...

I don't wanna-- make sure I can do what I say.

I know, I know. And it's okay.

I'm patient. I've waited a long time.

I will wait longer.

I'm gonna go tell Dan real quick.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

So listen, Chris has already been on it.

And the text that he got back says

he doesn't want to go to jail.

He wants treatment, but he doesn't want to go to jail.

Okay.

You didn't see anything, right, Mike?

Take a look at this.

The vehicle was driven by two male Hispanics.

We found three kilos of brown heroin.

It's about the width of a tire.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm just down here at the county garage.

I'm just going through this car, search warrant...

What do you guys got?

Whoa.

It's, uh... 1:00. I will be there at 1:30.

I'm gonna visit our suspect, the pregnant female.

We were concerned that she had fled the area,

but we were able to track her down.

She's clearly a boss for central Ohio.

She receives directions directly from Mexico.

Her shipments of heroin come directly from Mexico.

They're gonna want to intimidate her,

threaten her, possibly harm her.

But we're gonna need to get her on Team America

before that happens.

-Hi, Edith. -Hi.

-You wanna go inside? Okay. -Yeah.

This letter's to advise you that you are a target

-of a federal investigation. -Mm-hm.

Tell me what happened on Saturday

when your boss called you. What happened?

No, you know, because I called him and I told him

I lost everything, I don't have the stuff,

I don't have nothing.

You told him that you lost all the heroin?

Are you scared?

Yeah.

The guy that's been here before?

Yeah.

What's your boss's name, by the way?

I... But he lived here,

and he comes to visit you every two months.

So you know his name. What's his name?

Okay. I need to be able to tell

the United States attorney

that, okay, when I talked to Edith,

-we-- we talked the truth. -Yeah.

Uh, and I can't, you know, right now I can't say that.

So what I need to know, Edith,

is how many kilos come at one time to this house?

Okay, how often do two kilos come here?

No, you have-- So when we were here,

you had more than two kilos here.

We took 17 packages that had been opened and used.

That's 17 kilos. We took an additional three kilos.

That's 20 kilos.

Okay, so at least 20 were here

at one particular time.

How--

It's in your bedroom. It's where you live every night.

I know you know what a kilo is.

And I know you know how many kilos were at your house

because everybody keeps track of this.

And you know that it goes straight back to Mexico,

how much you owe, how much was sold,

how much was here, and how much is coming.

At some point in time, Edith, I have to be able

to show that this wasn't just you,

that you're not the ringleader

of a large-scale heroin operation in Columbus, Ohio.

That you work for somebody.

And if you can't show me and demonstrate to me

that there is somebody else,

then it just looks like it's you.

So I want you to know,

as we're looking at each other in the eyes,

stop with your bullshit.

Yeah, he's over here at Barbie's.

He contacted us last week,

and he finally came home on Saturday.

Just really helping Andrew to... detox,

uh, since we couldn't take him anywhere.

You know, he's got felony warrants, so...

Uh, the guys do seem.

And they work with Judge Teodosio on a regular basis

-in drug court, so... -Yeah.

You know, we're-- we're looking at our options.

If we don't have any here, if there's no beds available,

then we wanna look to see

where we might be able to go elsewhere, so...

All right, thanks. Love you. Bye-bye.

1,591 centers.

I wonder how many have a bed.

I just called a place in Orange, California

called Nationwide Recovery that a friend of mine got into.

And unfortunately, he overdosed before he got there.

I know there's a program in Florida that's a year.

- Where at? - Faith Farm in Florida.

That's an expensive one, isn't it?

-I don't know. -I don't know.

Let me try one more time.

Uh, yes. Uh, I was just wondering about your program.

- Okay. -I have a client

that we're trying to place in an out-of-state treatment

due to our rehabilitation centers being to capacity.
