They suspect war veterans and a search of the banks' personnel revealed that two veterans served together in Irag. Following one of the veterans leads Zuma to the V.A. Cemetery in Brentwood where 33 veterans are each given $300. Tailing this veteran leads Zuma to the home of Solomon Johnson and his wife Adair.
