Every case is an opportunity to affect someone's life,

Have you found that it's something that helps
your career or hurts it?

- It's actually not that complicated,
so I'll answer that one, Omar.
I joined this Bureau 30 years ago.
10 years later, 9/11 happened.
It wasn't a great time to be a Muslim in New York City.
Trust me.
But the Bureau made me feel like I belonged,
like I was a part of the family.
It can be that way for all of you

- Hey, folks, NYPD asked us for help
regarding a potential hate crime.
So listen up.
- 22-year-old Kosey Khan, a Pakistani student here
on temporary visa,
had his throat slit last night.
His younger brother, Amir, was also stabbed,
and he is currently in surgery.
- Let's talk about what we know about the victims.
- Yeah. Kosey was enrolled in Columbia,
an engineering major at 3.9 GPA.
His younger brother, Amir, worked at a local restaurant.
Doesn't seem to be here legally.
- Neither appear to have a social media footprint.
- Mm-hmm. What about criminal history?
Anything? - None.
Not even a parking ticket.
- So why them?
Why attack them at their home?
- Right, hate crimes typically happen out on the street,
so maybe there's a personal connection.
All right, so dig into the victims' personal lives,
friends, neighbors, classmates,
anyone in their orbit with hate-related priors,
or racist social media posts.
The answers are out there. Let's find them.
[dramatic music]
- Upstairs neighbor called it in.
Heard someone yelling for help.
Uniforms knocked and didn't get an answer,
so they made entry and found the victims.
- Any signs of forced entry? - None.
Door was unlocked.
- There cameras in this building?
- Negative.
Place is as basic as they come.
Rent's cheap, and the amenities reflect it.
- It's not the best neighborhood.
Doors stay locked.
So our suspect was either invited in,
or he waited for the victims to open the door.
- All right, we're gonna need your help
canvassing the area for witnesses.
- Yeah.
- Maggie.
A ton of valuable electronics untouched.
- Maybe they were looking for money or drugs.
- What makes you think it was a hate crime?
- Well, I wasn't sure at first.
But the victims' Imam showed up about an hour ago,
said he had proof that they were targeted.
- What kind of proof?
- Something about domestic terrorist threats
against these kids' lives.
I told him because of that,
we need to bring the FBI on board.
He wasn't exactly thrilled to hear that.

women and children.
Three of the listed victims
share the last name as Papa and Rasul.
- Okay, so our suspects believe their loved ones
were killed by Russian military.
Maybe that has something to do with
what they planned to use these guns for.
- It says in this article I'm reading
that the Russian special forces believed to be responsible
were under the direction of Dmitry Borchin,
an ex-KGB officer.
Chechens refer to him as "the Beast of the Forest."
- "Forest Beast," that's what Papa said.
All right, that's gotta be our guy.
Throw 'em up. Here we go. Take a look.
Dmitry Borchin. That's our suspect's target.
- Where's Borchin now?
- Uh, CBP is saying Borchin
arrived in the U.S. yesterday.
He's here with his wife and three sons.
- I thought he was a war criminal.
- Well, according to the NSA brief
on the incident, that's not the case.
Says there's a high probability that Borchin and his troops
were used as Chechen propaganda.
- Always two sides to every war.
What is he doing here now?
He's here for a private speaking event
on Russian-American relations
at the Lucas Auditorium in Brighton Beach.
It starts in half an hour.
- All right, get the team over there now.
- Yup.

We need to shut this thing down.
There's way too many bystanders in the line of fire

But Borchin's our target, so let's secure him first.
- Too late.
He's already making his way to the stage.
Okay, we need to split up and cover him now.
Let's go. Guys.

- What do I make of it? A lot.
But I take it you want the five-minute version?
The truth is revisionist history is more powerful
than you or I could ever know.
On its face, it's a narrative told from the heroes affected,
but at its core, it's a propaganda tool.
I remember watching news of the Cuban Missile Crisis
with my father and I asked him why they were fighting.
He said, "Because America put missiles in our backyard
but are pissed that we feign to them."
[continues indistinctly]
- Get up. - [gasps] Oh...
- Go, go. Get out of here.
- And therein lies some of the problem.
It's complicated.
At its best, it's a healthy mixture
of cooperation and competition.
At its worst, it's the calm before the storm.
Now, this is just my opinion,
but America is the real antagonist.
They make a decision
and expect the world to agree with their choice.
When another country makes its own decision,
they throw the red flag.
America made the first move. Russia just countered them.
Yet we are the bad guy, and they are the hero.
America is the real antagonist in most situations.
This country likes playing at big brother
to the rest of the world.
And we in Russia, we are offended.
We're just as capable of making our own decisions
as they are to do what is best for our country.

Kosey's brother, Amir, is in stable condition.
It's gonna be a long recovery, but he'll live.

Look.
I don't wanna cross the line.
But for the record, I think I could've gotten
the answers we needed from Imam Mustafa
without all of the anger and the lies.
- It's possible.
What if you were wrong? What if we couldn't have?
Look, I don't play favorites, Omar.
I just follow the leads.
- And I am not saying that you need to play favorites.
I am just saying that it almost feels like
you go out of your way to.
- To what?
Go after Muslims?
Are you accusing me of being anti-Muslim?
Look, we work for the FBI.
Not Muslims, not Middle-Easterners.
We go where the crime is, where the danger is
regardless of our personal beliefs and hopes.
You wanna help Muslims?
Start a charity.
- Don't you think that's a narrow view?
- No, I think it's a realistic view,
because I hate to break the news to you,
Brother Zidan.
But some of us are, in fact, criminals,
and some of us are, in fact,
connected to terrorist organizations.
That's just how it is.
