INT. HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS OFFICE - DAY

Agent ER, a member of the internal conspiracy group, addresses a room of agents. Case Agent Paul stands ready.

ER

Alright, let's start with a general overview of the case. A flight arrived from Curacao to New York's JFK Airport, and we have surveillance footage of a baggage handler unloading the bags. This is a routine procedure, but something caught our attention. He drove off with two containers after offloading the flight. In those containers are four suitcases, each containing 16 kilograms of cocaine. These suitcases are not going through customs. The baggage handler then drove around the terminal area, possibly as counter-surveillance. Eventually, he removes bags from one container and heads towards the domestic baggage terminal. Our investigation has led us to believe that two former airline employees will collect two more kilos of cocaine from a flight arriving tonight from Nassau, Bahamas. Our plan is to track the drugs, let them go down on the domestic terminal, and apprehend the individuals involved.

INT. OPERATIONS ROOM - NIGHT

Agents gather in the operations room, ready for action.

Once the flight lands, we'll escort it to the gate and maintain visual contact with all cargo and ramp workers. Our primary goal is to locate any narcotics on the plane. HSI will handle the control and delivery of the drugs, while we focus on apprehending the suspects. We have agents positioned outside the terminal, covering all exits. We'll track the bags and make a call when the drugs are picked up. We want to ensure we catch everyone involved in this operation.

We'll continue to pursue the high-level members of this criminal organization until it is completely dismantled.
