Working as a transporter and supplier of the United States Armed Forces, Alex Sokolov was contacted by the United States Government. As a government contractor, Sokolov was granted with some flexibility with security restrictions what allowed him to secretly establish illegal smuggling business.
Sokolov was contacted by Jeri Hogarth who paid him to get Trish Walker out of the United States of America. Although Sokolov was concerned that Walker was his client, Hogarth assured him that she would pay him anyway. Sokolov informed Walker that she will be transported to Phuket, Thailand inside the specially modified coffins that he use for shipping supplies to war zones. Hogarth asked Sokolov was Walker going to stay in the coffin for the entire flight, and he replied that not all of the flight crew know about my the smuggling, so she had to stay inside.
