About this listen
After winding up loose ends of several ongoing operations, Chief Robbins was sure that there was nothing left for the day and went home to catch some sleep. Being part of the Border Patrol, it was no surprise for Chief Robbins and his teams to get calls at odd hours of the night, and often it would make them jump from their beds. Nevertheless, everyone on the Border Patrol was used to such incidences.
Lately, there had been only a few significant incident calls received during the night, which gave the chief and his personnel a brief respite as the nation’s southeast border remained relatively quiet. However, their bubble was soon to burst, and the Border Patrol was about to get into a case that would leave a lifelong imprint on their memories.
Jonathan had come for a fishing trip to relax and get away from his hectic life, yet he still couldn’t bring himself to bed. His recent project had him up at night. He was spending more and more time at the office, and when he was at home, he would end up planning for the next day, as if his life had nothing else except work. Noticing that his work kept him occupied and needing a break from this tiresome routine, Jonathan decided to go fishing after handing over the recent project to his boss. He called his cousin Bill, who had been pestering him for well over a year, to see if he could accompany him for a relaxing weekend.

In April 2021, an urgent call was placed from a Special Forces operator serving overseas. The message was clear: Get Nezam out of Afghanistan now. Nezam was part of the Afghan National Army’s first group of American-trained commandos; he passed through Fort Bragg’s legendary Q course and served alongside the US Special Forces for over a decade. But Afghanistan’s government and army were on the edge of collapse, and Nezam was receiving threatening texts from the Taliban.

Living alongside and caring for their "high-value detainee" in a former palace dubbed The Rock and regularly transporting him to his raucous trial, many of the men begin questioning some of their most basic assumptions.
