RABIA CHAUDRY:
 When you are working on a case
 that you think is
 a wrongful conviction,
 you're only on one side.
 And that side is getting
 to the truth.
ADNAN SYED:
 The day she went missing
 was just a normal day to me.
WOMAN: It never hit me
 that something could be wrong
-until they found her body.
-(CAMERA CLICKS)
REPORTER: The suspect
 is Adnan Masud Syed.
(SPEAKING KOREAN)
(SIRENS WAIL)
It felt like...
they gotta have the wrong guy.
 If he did what he did,
then who's the person that I saw
 every day in class?

CHAUDRY: For years,
 I've been saying to Adnan,
 "We should go to media.
 We should go to journalists.
'Cause they can do things
we can't do."
WOMAN: But nobody realized
 it's gonna turn
 into anything big.
REPORTER 2: Adnan Syed's story
 has captivated millions
 since the launch
 of the podcast Serial.
CHAUDRY: Serial is what brought
 new evidence to the case.
 But Serial is not going to
 exonerate him.
REPORTER 3: Now, 18 years
 after he was sent to prison,
 convicted murderer Adnan Syed
 heads back to court
 as questions about his case
 continue to surface.
MAN:
 As investigators, we go beyond
 what law enforcement
 has already done.
MAN 2: Failure to investigate
 more thoroughly
is a major mistake.
CHAUDRY: I never thought
about him over all these years.
WOMAN: This was a person
 that had a life.
This is an interesting case,
but it's people's lives.
SYED: I know there are things
 that don't look good for me.
I'm telling you,
that's what happened.
How could anybody think that
he's being straight about this?
MAN 2:
That doesn't make him a killer.
It makes him an unusual person.
MAN: This is perhaps
the critical piece to this case.
They were gonna follow that
wherever it took them.
CHAUDRY:
 This is a piece of evidence
 that nobody even
 realized existed.
I want you to look into my eyes
and tell me of your innocence.
