INS Agent Gardner barrels into Josh's office behind Betram, Sam, and Josh, slashing through asylum idealism with smuggling's raw underbelly—$20,000-$40,000 death-ship passages chaining refugees to sweatshop indenture, drugs, prostitution. He brands indenture the festering core, warns Al Caldwell's Christian League that coached persecution claims cloak the scam, and tempers urgency with 'Take it easy' restraint. Procedural blade cuts moral haze, demanding rigorous verification as families' container horrors collide with bond offers and diplomatic heat.
