Friday, July 10: An FBI agent's difficult decision

Posted: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 12:34 PM by Elizabeth Chuck

"The Departed" won an Oscar for Best Picture in 2006, with a story based, in part, on actual events in the Boston mob. Now Dateline brings you the rest of the story.

It starts with two boys growing up in the same neighborhood who take very different paths in life: One ended up a gangster, the other joined the FBI. And when they met again years later, the agent had a choice: He could be loyal to the past, or, loyal to the law.
