Hi. My name's Michael Weatherly.
2
00:00:10,401 --> 00:00:13,143
Tonight's episode of Bull
deals with a citywide panic
3
00:00:13,187 --> 00:00:14,797
not unlike the fears
and concerns
4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,930
people are experiencing all over
the world at this moment.
5
00:00:17,974 --> 00:00:20,324
Before we start,
we wanted to remind you:
6
00:00:20,368 --> 00:00:22,239
this is a work of fiction.
7
00:00:22,283 --> 00:00:24,502
It was written
and filmed months ago.
8
00:00:24,546 --> 00:00:27,549
And its only purpose
is to entertain you.
9
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:32,902
And that will do it for
the headlines for the 9:00 hour.
10
00:00:32,945 --> 00:00:34,817
We will see you back here
at 9:30.
11
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:39,430
For New York News 3,
I'm Allison Rojas.

00:00:39,474 --> 00:00:41,824
PRODUCER: And we're out.[buzzer sounds]
13
00:00:41,867 --> 00:00:43,826
LENA:
Nice broadcast.
14
00:00:43,869 --> 00:00:46,176
Thanks.That new shade of lipstick,
that looks great on camera.
15
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:48,222
[laughs softly]
16
00:00:52,269 --> 00:00:54,402
Who would send me
17
00:00:54,445 --> 00:00:56,665
a birthday card
two months before my birthday?
18
00:00:57,753 --> 00:00:59,102
[both gasp]
19
00:00:59,146 --> 00:01:00,712
Okay, this is not funny.
20
00:01:00,756 --> 00:01:02,714
Oh, no. It's in your hair.It's everywhere.
21
00:01:02,758 --> 00:01:04,629
I have to be back on the air
in 23 and a half minutes.No, I'll get-get,
22
00:01:04,673 --> 00:01:07,241
uh, wardrobe and makeup.Hurry.
23
00:01:07,284 --> 00:01:08,677

MARK:
Yesterday morning, my wife--
she woke up achy, nauseous.
26
00:01:15,162 --> 00:01:16,946
She had a bit of a fever,
said her chest hurt.
27
00:01:16,989 --> 00:01:18,208
We thought
it was the flu.
28
00:01:18,252 --> 00:01:21,559
But then, today,
she started coughing up blood.
29
00:01:21,603 --> 00:01:22,908
Attendant,
30
00:01:22,952 --> 00:01:24,736
let's get her
to Room One.MAN: Yes, Doctor.
31
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,086
Let's page Dr. Farmer
and the chief,
32
00:01:26,129 --> 00:01:28,392
and then alert the Health
Department and the CDC.
33
00:01:28,436 --> 00:01:29,654
The-the CDC?
34
00:01:29,698 --> 00:01:31,700
Center for Disease Control?
What's going on?
35
00:01:31,743 --> 00:01:33,049
ANCHOR:
Government buildings
36
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:34,659
remain closed
and subway ridership
37
00:01:34,703 --> 00:01:36,313
is at its lowest level
since 9/11
38
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:39,186
as anthrax terror grips
Manhattan.
39
00:01:39,229 --> 00:01:41,971
A quiet panic has descended
on the city
40
00:01:42,014 --> 00:01:44,234
as New Yorkers are trying
to figure out who's behind this
41
00:01:44,278 --> 00:01:45,540
and when it will end.
42
00:01:45,583 --> 00:01:48,978
At this hour,
the death toll remains at two.
43
00:01:49,021 --> 00:01:50,719
The deceased are Katie Connors,
44
00:01:50,762 --> 00:01:52,547
who opened a birthday card
addressed to her husband,
45
00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:55,376
Manhattan Congressman
Peter Connors,
46
00:01:55,419 --> 00:01:58,901
and Emmanuel Bakry, the postal
worker who delivered it.
47
00:01:58,944 --> 00:02:00,859
But, finally, some good news.
48
00:02:00,903 --> 00:02:03,949
News 3'sAllison Rojas
is responding to treatment
49
00:02:03,993 --> 00:02:06,517
after opening an anthrax-laden
greeting card
50
00:02:06,561 --> 00:02:09,346
in this very studio
more than a week ago.
51
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:12,349
Doctors expect her and the four
other News 3staffers
52
00:02:12,393 --> 00:02:15,570
who were taken ill
to make a full recovery.
53
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:26,015
[indistinct chatter]
54
00:02:31,716 --> 00:02:35,242
Folks, we're about to roll,
so I need quiet.
55
00:02:35,285 --> 00:02:38,201
Five, four,
56
00:02:38,245 --> 00:02:40,899
three, two...
57
00:02:42,945 --> 00:02:44,816
Good afternoon from ground zero.
58
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:47,341
Here in Manhattan we're all
collectively holding our breath,
59
00:02:47,384 --> 00:02:50,387
waiting for the next
anthrax-laden shoe to drop.
60
00:02:50,431 --> 00:02:52,824
With that thought in mind,
we thought we'd pay a visit
61
00:02:52,868 --> 00:02:56,437
to Hudson University, which is
one of the foremost laboratories
62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,353
for the study of chemical
weapons and bio-pathogens.
63
00:02:59,396 --> 00:03:02,399
We wanted to talk
with Dr. Roger Simpkins,
64
00:03:02,443 --> 00:03:05,185
a microbiologist and researcher
who runs this lab,
65
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:07,361
which is financed
in a combination of funding
66
00:03:07,404 --> 00:03:10,364
from the university
and the government.
67
00:03:10,407 --> 00:03:13,062
Dr. Simpkins,
any words of wisdom
68
00:03:13,105 --> 00:03:15,804
or homespun advice
for our viewers tuning in,
69
00:03:15,847 --> 00:03:18,372
missing work and school,
doing everything they can
70
00:03:18,415 --> 00:03:21,113
to keep themselves
from becoming a victim,
71
00:03:21,157 --> 00:03:23,246
falling ill,
possibly even dying?
72
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:24,682
The thing we all
need to remember
73
00:03:24,726 --> 00:03:26,510
is that anthrax
is not a virus.
74
00:03:26,554 --> 00:03:29,383
It's a bacteria, and that means
you can't catch it.
75
00:03:29,426 --> 00:03:31,254
It can't be transmitted
from person-to-person,
76
00:03:31,298 --> 00:03:33,256
so if you don't have
direct contact with it,
77
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,345
it poses no threat to you.
78
00:03:35,389 --> 00:03:38,043
So calm down.
79
00:03:38,087 --> 00:03:40,350
NEWSMAN:
A-And I've been told that even
if you do have direct contact,
80
00:03:40,394 --> 00:03:43,614
it's still
not necessarily fatal.
81
00:03:43,658 --> 00:03:45,050
Absolutely true.
82
00:03:45,094 --> 00:03:48,271
If anthrax is identified early,
it can be treated.
83
00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:50,447
What makes it tricky
is early anthrax symptoms
84
00:03:50,491 --> 00:03:52,188
look just like the flu.
85
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:53,320
So unless your doctor knows
86
00:03:53,363 --> 00:03:55,670
that you've actually had
contact with it,
87
00:03:55,713 --> 00:03:58,455
the disease can go undetected
until the drugs we use
88
00:03:58,499 --> 00:03:59,978
to cure it are no
longer effective.
89
00:04:00,022 --> 00:04:01,850
But it's been nearly 20 years
90
00:04:01,893 --> 00:04:04,113
since the last round
of anthrax incidents.
91
00:04:04,156 --> 00:04:06,463
How is it there's still
no cure for this stuff?
92
00:04:06,507 --> 00:04:08,900
SIMPKINS:
Well, ironically,
93
00:04:08,944 --> 00:04:12,295
uh, last year at this time,
my, uh, colleagues and I
94
00:04:12,339 --> 00:04:14,384
were in the process
of developing
95
00:04:14,428 --> 00:04:16,473
some very promising new
late-stage anthrax treatments.
96
00:04:16,517 --> 00:04:17,692
NEWSMAN:
Wait.
97
00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:19,346
"Were"?
98
00:04:19,389 --> 00:04:22,914
Well, our funding, particularly
with regard to anthrax research,
99
00:04:22,958 --> 00:04:25,308
comes from
the federal government.
100
00:04:25,352 --> 00:04:28,790
And they pulled
way back this year.
101
00:04:28,833 --> 00:04:30,879
What can I tell you?
102
00:04:30,922 --> 00:04:32,489
Go write your congressman.
103
00:04:37,929 --> 00:04:39,931
[knocking on door]
104
00:04:43,457 --> 00:04:45,850
SIMPKINS:
The FBI is in my office.
105
00:04:45,894 --> 00:04:47,896
They've determined
that the anthrax used
106
00:04:47,939 --> 00:04:49,898
in all these recent attacks
107
00:04:49,941 --> 00:04:51,943
comes from our labs.
108
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:54,772
They want to talk
to the three of you.
109
00:05:01,605 --> 00:05:04,347
What did you do?
Get a second job?
110
00:05:04,391 --> 00:05:05,827
Aren't you afraid of dogs?
111
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:07,568
Other postal workers
going postal?
112
00:05:07,611 --> 00:05:09,352
TAYLOR:
Not funny.
It's just my mail
113
00:05:09,396 --> 00:05:11,049
for the last couple of weeks.
114
00:05:11,093 --> 00:05:13,269
I made the post office
hold it for me.
115
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,271
Once I found out the FBI
arrested the anthrax killer,
116
00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:16,881
I figured it was finally safe
to pick it up
117
00:05:16,925 --> 00:05:18,100
and sort through it all.
118
00:05:18,143 --> 00:05:20,537
Won't be needing that anymore.
119
00:05:22,409 --> 00:05:24,367
Bull in his office?
120
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:28,328
[chuckles]
121
00:05:30,504 --> 00:05:32,462
[knocking on door]
122
00:05:32,506 --> 00:05:34,334
I'm in the middle
123
00:05:34,377 --> 00:05:37,728
of some very important
procrastination.
124
00:05:38,773 --> 00:05:42,385
Hey. Sorry to interrupt.
125
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:44,387
Why are you so glum,
Mr. Colón?
126
00:05:44,431 --> 00:05:45,388
Haven't you heard?
127
00:05:45,432 --> 00:05:48,391
It's a glorious day in New York.
128
00:05:48,435 --> 00:05:50,437
Spring has sprung,
129
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,221
Easter's barely
a month away,
130
00:05:52,264 --> 00:05:53,918
and the anthrax killer
is off the streets.
131
00:05:53,962 --> 00:05:57,269
We can put this whole
dark chapter behind us.
132
00:05:57,313 --> 00:05:59,837
Well, actually, no, we can't.
133
00:05:59,881 --> 00:06:01,404
What does that mean?
134
00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:03,580
You remember, a couple
of years ago, we signed up
135
00:06:03,624 --> 00:06:07,410
to be a part of that program
where private firms offer
136
00:06:07,454 --> 00:06:10,326
their services
to the public defender's office?
137
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:13,242
No. I got nothing on that.
138
00:06:13,285 --> 00:06:15,418
Must have been trying to get
into somebody's good graces.
139
00:06:15,462 --> 00:06:17,072
What's the difference?
We offered,
140
00:06:17,115 --> 00:06:19,074
and this morning they called.
141
00:06:19,117 --> 00:06:22,599
Natalie Reznick, the accused
anthrax killer, is facing
142
00:06:22,643 --> 00:06:25,297
two counts of capital murder
and a slew of other charges.
143
00:06:25,341 --> 00:06:28,823
Well, she needs a defense team,
and we're one of the few firms
144
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:32,304
in the city with the expertise
to handle that type of case.
145
00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:33,871
Well, just call 'em back
and tell 'em no.
146
00:06:33,915 --> 00:06:37,309
I have a newborn child
and you have...
147
00:06:37,353 --> 00:06:38,876
Just say that
148
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,922
we really appreciate the offer,
but we are not interested
149
00:06:40,965 --> 00:06:43,664
in representing
a terrorist at this time.
150
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:45,274
An accused terrorist.
151
00:06:45,317 --> 00:06:47,363
I think you're missing
the point.
152
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:49,278
The federal defender's office
wasn't asking
153
00:06:49,321 --> 00:06:50,453
when they called me
this morning.
154
00:06:50,497 --> 00:06:51,672
They were telling.
155
00:06:52,716 --> 00:06:54,457
It's our case, Bull.
156
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,241
Happy spring.
157
00:06:56,285 --> 00:06:58,287
♪
158
00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:07,557
I have no idea why I'm here.
159
00:07:07,601 --> 00:07:09,603
Surely you heard
the FBI agent
160
00:07:09,646 --> 00:07:12,736
read you the charges before
he took you into custody.
161
00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:15,391
You're being charged with
murdering two people
162
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:19,177
with a Tier 1 federal
select biological agent
163
00:07:19,221 --> 00:07:21,310
and terrorizing the
city of New York.
164
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:25,270
Yes, of course, but wh-why would
they think I would do that?
165
00:07:25,314 --> 00:07:26,446
Well, the evidence against you
166
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:28,143
will be laid out
at your arraignment,
167
00:07:28,186 --> 00:07:30,058
but based
on the charging documents,
168
00:07:30,101 --> 00:07:31,712
the FBI has
a pretty strong case.
169
00:07:31,755 --> 00:07:33,365
How is that possible?
170
00:07:33,409 --> 00:07:35,367
BENNY: Well, when the funding
for your anthrax research
171
00:07:35,411 --> 00:07:36,543
was cut last year,
172
00:07:36,586 --> 00:07:38,545
you sent out dozens of e-mails.
173
00:07:38,588 --> 00:07:41,199
To journalists, to politicians.
174
00:07:41,243 --> 00:07:44,507
The very people who've been
the targets in these attacks.
175
00:07:44,551 --> 00:07:47,684
Well, y-yes, b-but that's...
176
00:07:47,728 --> 00:07:49,556
that's just a coincidence.
177
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:52,384
The-the letters that I was
writing were about
178
00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:57,520
how shortsighted and dangerous
it was to cut that funding.
179
00:07:57,564 --> 00:08:00,392
Just because anthrax was
out of the news did not mean
180
00:08:00,436 --> 00:08:03,134
that it was no longer a risk
to national security.
181
00:08:03,178 --> 00:08:04,527
BULL: Well, the U.S.
Attorney's Office
182
00:08:04,571 --> 00:08:07,269
suspects that when your warnings
fell on deaf ears,
183
00:08:07,312 --> 00:08:11,403
you orchestrated these attacks
to prove a point.
184
00:08:11,447 --> 00:08:16,147
"Anthrax is still out there.
It's still lethal."
185
00:08:16,191 --> 00:08:19,934
That's absurd. I am a doctor,
I am a scientist.
186
00:08:19,977 --> 00:08:22,632
The work that my team was doing
was about saving lives.
187
00:08:22,676 --> 00:08:24,460
How on earth
would killing people
188
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:26,506
help us achieve that goal?
189
00:08:26,549 --> 00:08:29,073
If that's all they had,
I'd agree with you.
190
00:08:29,117 --> 00:08:31,336
Are you aware that your office
had been bleached
191
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:33,034
before the FBI searched it?
192
00:08:33,077 --> 00:08:34,426
Yes.
193
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:37,995
Bleach is a disinfectant.
I work with pathogens.
194
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:39,562
BULL: But yours was
the only office
195
00:08:39,606 --> 00:08:41,999
in the complex
to have been so recently
196
00:08:42,043 --> 00:08:43,740
and thoroughly bleached.
197
00:08:43,784 --> 00:08:46,308
Bleach kills anthrax.
198
00:08:46,351 --> 00:08:49,398
It makes it appear as if
you were destroying evidence.
199
00:08:49,441 --> 00:08:52,314
Your apartment had
been bleached, too.
200
00:08:52,357 --> 00:08:56,884
And investigators found a stash
of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin
201
00:08:56,927 --> 00:09:00,365
and a box of N95 face
masks in your kitchen.
202
00:09:00,409 --> 00:09:01,845
They suspect you used both
203
00:09:01,889 --> 00:09:04,805
when you assembled the
anthrax-laden birthday cards.
204
00:09:04,848 --> 00:09:07,155
I mean, the masks were-- I...
205
00:09:09,157 --> 00:09:12,377
I was gonna paint my bathroom.
206
00:09:12,421 --> 00:09:14,466
And I go on a medical mission
every year.
207
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:16,381
This year,
it's Cambodia.
208
00:09:16,425 --> 00:09:18,340
Last year,
it was Honduras,
209
00:09:18,383 --> 00:09:20,342
Guadalupe.
210
00:09:20,385 --> 00:09:23,563
Anyway, my doctor gives me cipro
before I go every year.
211
00:09:25,434 --> 00:09:27,175
I meant what I said.
212
00:09:28,176 --> 00:09:30,787
I have no idea why I'm here.
213
00:09:30,831 --> 00:09:32,397
[lock buzzes, latch clicks]
214
00:09:32,441 --> 00:09:34,312
BULL:
I believe the woman.
215
00:09:34,356 --> 00:09:37,446
I mean, she says she has no idea
what she's doing behind bars.
216
00:09:37,489 --> 00:09:39,056
I believe her.
217
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:41,058
Okay. Well, that
makes two of you.
218
00:09:41,102 --> 00:09:44,845
Unfortunately, the government
sees it all quite differently.
219
00:09:44,888 --> 00:09:47,848
Yeah, government. You ever heard
of detective myopia?
220
00:09:47,891 --> 00:09:50,546
Detective myopia?
221
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:52,722
No. Can't say that I have.
222
00:09:52,766 --> 00:09:54,332
It is when law enforcement,
223
00:09:54,376 --> 00:09:57,248
usually because of extreme
public or political pressure,
224
00:09:57,292 --> 00:10:00,382
picks a suspect and then
evaluates all the evidence
225
00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:03,864
with the predisposition
that that suspect is guilty.
226
00:10:03,907 --> 00:10:05,648
And they stop
looking for other suspects,
227
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:07,084
they stop running
down leads
228
00:10:07,128 --> 00:10:09,260
that don't back up
their predetermined theories.
229
00:10:09,304 --> 00:10:12,394
All their work goes into proving
that their suspect,
230
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:16,267
the person they picked
at random is guilty.
231
00:10:16,311 --> 00:10:18,966
City's in a panic.
FBI needs
232
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:20,532
to restore calm.
233
00:10:20,576 --> 00:10:23,448
Natalie presented as someone
with access to the bacteria
234
00:10:23,492 --> 00:10:26,277
and an apparent motive,
so they combed through her life
235
00:10:26,321 --> 00:10:28,628
looking for ways
to prove she did it.
236
00:10:28,671 --> 00:10:30,760
Detective myopia.
237
00:10:31,805 --> 00:10:33,154
[sighs]
238
00:10:33,197 --> 00:10:35,591
I think we need to argue
for a change of venue.
239
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:36,766
[groans]
240
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:38,855
Well-- I know legal strategy
isn't exactly
241
00:10:38,899 --> 00:10:42,163
my area of expertise,
but I have been going through
242
00:10:42,206 --> 00:10:46,254
the potential jury lists,
and, well, given the panic
243
00:10:46,297 --> 00:10:49,431
and all of the publicity
around this case,
244
00:10:49,474 --> 00:10:50,693
wouldn't we be
likely to get
245
00:10:50,737 --> 00:10:52,216
a more impartial jury
somewhere else?
246
00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:55,524
Somewhere that hasn't been
through as much as New York has?
247
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,700
That's not a bad
thought, actually.
248
00:10:57,744 --> 00:11:00,268
You know, the problem is,
it's next to impossible
249
00:11:00,311 --> 00:11:04,272
to get a change of venue
in a federal criminal case.
250
00:11:04,315 --> 00:11:05,360
I'm just worried.
251
00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:07,275
No matter how
I look at the data,
252
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:09,973
I just don't know how
we're gonna seat a jury
253
00:11:10,017 --> 00:11:12,323
that can look past
their own fears.
254
00:11:12,367 --> 00:11:14,195
That's why we shouldn't try.
255
00:11:14,238 --> 00:11:16,676
In fact, we should do
just the opposite.
256
00:11:16,719 --> 00:11:19,330
We should scare the living
daylights out of 'em.
257
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:21,245
People are
predisposed
258
00:11:21,289 --> 00:11:22,769
to convicting Natalie
because they want to believe
259
00:11:22,812 --> 00:11:24,118
that the danger has passed.
260
00:11:24,161 --> 00:11:26,990
So what we need to do
is convince the jury...
261
00:11:27,034 --> 00:11:29,471
that it hasn't.
262
00:11:29,514 --> 00:11:32,387
Anybody remember the last time
263
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:35,129
we had a series
of anthrax attacks?
264
00:11:35,172 --> 00:11:38,132
It was right after 9/11,
wasn't it?
265
00:11:38,175 --> 00:11:39,611
BENNY:
Yes, yes. Very good.
266
00:11:39,655 --> 00:11:41,352
And do you remember how long
267
00:11:41,396 --> 00:11:43,311
it took for them
to find the perpetrator?
268
00:11:43,354 --> 00:11:44,921
WOMAN:
Uh...
269
00:11:44,965 --> 00:11:46,357
I seem to recall
it was pretty quick.
270
00:11:46,401 --> 00:11:48,055
Indeed it was.
271
00:11:48,098 --> 00:11:50,231
Attorney General John Ashcroft
272
00:11:50,274 --> 00:11:55,279
publicly named former biodefense
researcher Steven Jay Hatfill
273
00:11:55,323 --> 00:11:57,586
as a person of interest
in the attacks.
274
00:11:57,629 --> 00:12:00,284
FBI tapped his phone.
275
00:12:00,328 --> 00:12:03,026
He lost his job,
couldn't get another one.
276
00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:04,506
Almost committed suicide.
277
00:12:04,549 --> 00:12:06,987
Then,in 2008,
278
00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:08,989
everyone suddenly realized
279
00:12:09,032 --> 00:12:11,295
that they were persecuting
the wrong man.
280
00:12:11,339 --> 00:12:13,950
So here's my question to you.
281
00:12:13,994 --> 00:12:16,213
How many of you folks believe
that, of course,
282
00:12:16,257 --> 00:12:19,303
with all the best intentions
in the world,
283
00:12:19,347 --> 00:12:22,742
people whose job it is
to root out the bad guys
284
00:12:22,785 --> 00:12:25,396
sometimes get it wrong?
285
00:12:32,229 --> 00:12:34,362
Now we're getting
somewhere.
286
00:12:36,364 --> 00:12:38,322
CHUNK:
Means, motive and opportunity--
287
00:12:38,366 --> 00:12:39,976
they must feel they have it,
288
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:41,238
or they wouldn't
have brought the case.
289
00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:43,023
For those of us
who didn't go to law school,
290
00:12:43,066 --> 00:12:44,546
what does "means" mean again?
291
00:12:44,589 --> 00:12:46,809
It means she could do it;
she had the tools necessary.
292
00:12:46,853 --> 00:12:49,203
In this case, anthrax.
She worked at a place
293
00:12:49,246 --> 00:12:52,162
where anthrax
was readily available.
294
00:12:52,206 --> 00:12:54,208
Yeah, but there's
more to it than that.
295
00:12:54,251 --> 00:12:57,124
Every expert I've spoken with
said the same thing.
296
00:12:57,167 --> 00:13:00,257
Researchers work
with wetanthrax spores.
297
00:13:00,301 --> 00:13:02,477
To make a-a powder that
can be sent in the mail,
298
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,174
you have to use
dry anthrax spores,
299
00:13:04,218 --> 00:13:06,655
and in order to dry them,
you have to use a very specific,
300
00:13:06,698 --> 00:13:09,223
very large piece of equipment
built just for that purpose.
301
00:13:09,266 --> 00:13:10,441
Which, of course,
they have at the lab?
302
00:13:10,485 --> 00:13:12,052
Which, of course, they have
at the lab.
303
00:13:12,095 --> 00:13:13,836
But all of that takes time.
304
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,665
Stealing the anthrax.
Drying the anthrax.
305
00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:18,145
I've skimmed over this
grand jury transcript
306
00:13:18,188 --> 00:13:20,582
three times--
I've yet to see an explanation
307
00:13:20,625 --> 00:13:23,150
for when Natalie
would have been able to do that
308
00:13:23,193 --> 00:13:25,195
without raising suspicion.Obviously,
309
00:13:25,239 --> 00:13:28,068
they are saving their
biggest surprises for trial.
310
00:13:28,111 --> 00:13:29,765
I'll give you another one.
311
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:32,159
[taps keyboard]So, the FBI was able
312
00:13:32,202 --> 00:13:34,248
to determine that
all the anthrax letters
313
00:13:34,291 --> 00:13:35,902
were mailed
from this mailbox
314
00:13:35,945 --> 00:13:37,338
within a specific
eight-hour period.
315
00:13:37,381 --> 00:13:38,948
Really?
316
00:13:38,992 --> 00:13:40,471
Well, since
I'm the only one here
317
00:13:40,515 --> 00:13:42,212
who hasn't worked
for Homeland or FBI,
318
00:13:42,256 --> 00:13:44,388
can someone tell me
how they do that?
319
00:13:44,432 --> 00:13:46,434
When you drop a letter
into a government mailbox,
320
00:13:46,477 --> 00:13:48,436
it goes into a bin
that's location-specific
321
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:49,916
and time-coded.
322
00:13:49,959 --> 00:13:52,266
When that bin is carried back
to the general post office
323
00:13:52,309 --> 00:13:54,181
for processing
and your letter is postmarked,
324
00:13:54,224 --> 00:13:56,705
it carries
all that information with it.
325
00:13:56,748 --> 00:13:59,664
[chuckles]
Wow. That's really cool.
326
00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:02,102
And more than a little scary.
327
00:14:02,145 --> 00:14:03,843
Back to the pictures.
328
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:06,193
All right, so, the FBI
examined security footage
329
00:14:06,236 --> 00:14:08,586
from area cameras taken
during the same time frame.
330
00:14:08,630 --> 00:14:11,067
They were able to eliminate
all but three people
331
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:13,243
who mailed letters
during that period.
332
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:15,245
Wha...? And how were they able
to do that?
333
00:14:15,289 --> 00:14:17,987
How could they tell
from these... grainy photos
334
00:14:18,031 --> 00:14:20,294
who's mailing anthrax
and who isn't?
335
00:14:20,337 --> 00:14:23,340
Well, I can't be sure,
but my suspicion is,
336
00:14:23,384 --> 00:14:25,690
what they really did
was basically eliminate everyone
337
00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:27,388
who didn't look like Natalie.
338
00:14:27,431 --> 00:14:30,130
There is your detective myopia
that Bull keeps talking about.
339
00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:32,306
And that left them
with three people
340
00:14:32,349 --> 00:14:33,742
who didlook
like Natalie?
341
00:14:33,785 --> 00:14:35,918
Well, it left them
with three people,
342
00:14:35,962 --> 00:14:37,572
like this person here.
343
00:14:38,616 --> 00:14:40,227
Or this person here.
344
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:43,708
Or this person here.
345
00:14:45,754 --> 00:14:48,539
People who don't really look
like anyone in particular.
346
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:50,933
At least
not as far as I can tell.
347
00:14:50,977 --> 00:14:52,543
So what am I gonna tell Bull?
348
00:14:52,587 --> 00:14:55,938
Opening arguments, testimony
start tomorrow morning.
349
00:14:55,982 --> 00:14:58,549
What in the world
am I gonna tell Bull?
350
00:14:58,593 --> 00:15:01,378
Tell him that Danny and I
are putting together dossiers
351
00:15:01,422 --> 00:15:04,468
on everyone
Natalie works with, and...
352
00:15:04,512 --> 00:15:06,296
That our strategy
hasn't changed.
353
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:09,343
To get the jury and the public
to let go of the idea
354
00:15:09,386 --> 00:15:11,171
that Natalie is the mastermind
behind these attacks,
355
00:15:11,214 --> 00:15:15,175
we have to... come up
with another credible suspect.
356
00:15:15,218 --> 00:15:16,785
And we will.
357
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:27,230
REYNOLDS:
Now, Dr. Poulson,
as a researcher
358
00:15:27,274 --> 00:15:29,189
in the Medical
Countermeasures Unit
359
00:15:29,232 --> 00:15:30,842
at Hudson University
Laboratories,
360
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:33,236
you frequently work
shoulder-to-shoulder
361
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,585
with Natalie Reznick,
362
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:36,457
don't you?Yes, I do.
363
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:40,722
Now, it's against the lab's
standard operating procedures
364
00:15:40,765 --> 00:15:42,419
for anyone to work alone?
365
00:15:42,463 --> 00:15:44,421
That's correct, yes.And to your
knowledge,
366
00:15:44,465 --> 00:15:46,119
Dr. Poulson,
367
00:15:46,162 --> 00:15:48,121
did Dr. Reznick
368
00:15:48,164 --> 00:15:51,951
ever simply disregard this tenet
of standard operating procedure?
369
00:15:53,213 --> 00:15:56,129
Yes, I believe
she may have. Once.
370
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:58,653
[gallery murmuring]About a week before the attacks.
371
00:15:58,696 --> 00:16:00,089
REYNOLDS:
You're referring to the evening
372
00:16:00,133 --> 00:16:02,048
of the 11th?I don't know
what he's talking about.
373
00:16:02,091 --> 00:16:05,007
POULSON: It was late. We were
the only two people in the lab.
374
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:07,705
And at around 7:00 p.m.,
I got summoned
375
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:10,404
to the chancellor's office
for a call with D.C.
376
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:13,929
Much of the work we do
at our labs
377
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,366
is in partnership
with the Department
378
00:16:16,410 --> 00:16:18,847
of Defense,
so when they say jump,
379
00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:20,892
we jump.
380
00:16:20,936 --> 00:16:23,678
And I told Natalie to...
381
00:16:23,721 --> 00:16:27,377
clean up and that we
would finish up another day.
382
00:16:27,421 --> 00:16:30,554
So I left her unattended.
383
00:16:30,598 --> 00:16:33,775
Which, as the senior researcher,
I shouldn't have done.
384
00:16:33,818 --> 00:16:37,126
But she assured me that she
would just take a few minutes
385
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:39,781
and then she would leave.Just to be clear.
386
00:16:40,825 --> 00:16:42,914
Your expectation
was that Dr. Reznick
387
00:16:42,958 --> 00:16:44,742
would take five,
maybe ten minutes
388
00:16:44,786 --> 00:16:46,918
to clean up the lab
and then leave.
389
00:16:46,962 --> 00:16:47,963
Correct?
390
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,878
That was my assumption, yes.
391
00:16:49,921 --> 00:16:51,967
Dr. Poulson...
392
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,578
this is a single frame
393
00:16:54,622 --> 00:16:57,929
from security footage taken
from the night in question.
394
00:16:57,973 --> 00:17:01,585
It shows someone leaving the
laboratory complex at Hudson.
395
00:17:01,629 --> 00:17:03,326
Can you identify
that person?
396
00:17:03,370 --> 00:17:05,763
It's Dr. Reznick.And could you read
397
00:17:05,807 --> 00:17:08,636
the time stamp
on the photo for us, please?
398
00:17:08,679 --> 00:17:11,726
9:26 p.m.
399
00:17:11,769 --> 00:17:13,989
9:26 p.m.
400
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:18,080
Two and a half hours
after you left the lab, correct?
401
00:17:18,124 --> 00:17:19,342
Yes.
402
00:17:19,386 --> 00:17:20,996
Dr. Poulson,
403
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,433
in your professional opinion,
if Dr. Reznick had been alone
404
00:17:23,477 --> 00:17:26,567
in that lab, not just
for a few minutes to clean up,
405
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:29,700
but for several hours, would
that have given her enough time
406
00:17:29,744 --> 00:17:32,877
to dry the anthrax spores
into a powder
407
00:17:32,921 --> 00:17:35,184
and sneak them out of the lab?
408
00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:38,144
Objection, Your Honor!
Calls for speculation.
409
00:17:38,187 --> 00:17:39,449
REYNOLDS:
Your Honor,
410
00:17:39,493 --> 00:17:40,929
Dr. Poulson is a microbiologist.
411
00:17:40,972 --> 00:17:43,975
I'm simply asking him
for his professional opinion.
412
00:17:44,019 --> 00:17:45,847
Objection overruled.
413
00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:48,110
I'll allow him to answer.
414
00:17:49,155 --> 00:17:51,766
I believe it would have, yes.
415
00:17:51,809 --> 00:17:55,987
[gallery murmuring]REYNOLDS: No further questions
for now, Your Honor.
416
00:18:00,035 --> 00:18:01,863
[clears throat]
417
00:18:03,038 --> 00:18:05,040
Dr. Poulson.
418
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:07,434
Really appreciate
you being here today.
419
00:18:07,477 --> 00:18:09,958
Now, I know we've heard
a lot of speculation
420
00:18:10,001 --> 00:18:12,917
about what might have happened,
what could have happened,
421
00:18:12,961 --> 00:18:15,746
but you are a scientist.
422
00:18:15,790 --> 00:18:19,315
You deal with the physical
facts of the world.
423
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,926
So let's get
back to that.
424
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:23,885
Do you have any proof
425
00:18:23,928 --> 00:18:26,931
that Dr. Reznick stayed
in the lab alone
426
00:18:26,975 --> 00:18:30,021
any longer than
she told you she would?
427
00:18:30,065 --> 00:18:31,893
Well, based
on the time stamp...
428
00:18:31,936 --> 00:18:35,114
Oh, no, no. That
time stamp only proves
429
00:18:35,157 --> 00:18:37,377
what time she left the building,
430
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:40,858
which was two and a half hours
after you did.
431
00:18:40,902 --> 00:18:42,817
Nowhere does it indicate
432
00:18:42,860 --> 00:18:45,776
what time she left
the lab itself, does it?
433
00:18:46,821 --> 00:18:49,519
No, it doesn't.Uh-huh.
434
00:18:49,563 --> 00:18:54,045
Now, Dr. Reznick maintains
she left the lab
435
00:18:54,089 --> 00:18:56,787
as promised and spent
the remainder of that time
436
00:18:56,831 --> 00:19:01,357
in her office typing a report
of the day's work.
437
00:19:01,401 --> 00:19:03,403
In fact...
438
00:19:03,446 --> 00:19:07,102
you reviewed that very report
the next morning, didn't you?
439
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,495
It's quite possible.
440
00:19:08,538 --> 00:19:10,801
I often review the reports
from the previous night
441
00:19:10,845 --> 00:19:12,934
the next morning.I see.
442
00:19:12,977 --> 00:19:16,938
And before the FBI informed you
that Dr. Reznick was a suspect,
443
00:19:16,981 --> 00:19:20,115
did you have any reason
to suspect her of this crime?
444
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:21,464
No.
445
00:19:23,771 --> 00:19:27,470
I've always believed Natalie
to be trustworthy and...
446
00:19:27,514 --> 00:19:29,298
a passionate scientist.
447
00:19:29,342 --> 00:19:31,605
And I'm still inclined
to believe so.
448
00:19:31,648 --> 00:19:33,607
I mean, hon...
[sighs]
449
00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,522
honestly...
450
00:19:35,565 --> 00:19:38,873
I hope the version of events
you just laid out is the truth.
451
00:19:39,917 --> 00:19:43,182
Thank you very much,
Dr. Poulson.
452
00:19:43,225 --> 00:19:45,575
No further questions,
Your Honor.
453
00:19:47,273 --> 00:19:48,404
Redirect?
454
00:19:49,449 --> 00:19:52,234
Regardless of what you
might hope,
455
00:19:52,278 --> 00:19:54,236
Dr. Poulson,
456
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,239
doesn't the fact remain
that a pathogen was stolen
457
00:19:57,283 --> 00:19:58,762
from your lab?
458
00:19:59,763 --> 00:20:01,156
[quietly]:
Yes.
And based
459
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,289
on your own testimony,
wouldn't you agree
460
00:20:03,332 --> 00:20:07,206
that Dr. Reznick was
the only researcher
461
00:20:07,249 --> 00:20:08,903
who could possibly have had
an opportunity
462
00:20:08,946 --> 00:20:10,470
to do it?Asked and
answered,
463
00:20:10,513 --> 00:20:11,558
Your Honor.
464
00:20:11,601 --> 00:20:13,516
Counsel is badgering
the witness.
465
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,127
[gallery murmuring]I'll withdraw the question,
Your Honor.
466
00:20:16,171 --> 00:20:18,391
How's the view
from where you're sitting?
467
00:20:18,434 --> 00:20:20,001
The only good news is,
468
00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:22,525
it can't get any worse.
469
00:20:28,705 --> 00:20:30,185
[Benny sighing]
470
00:20:33,971 --> 00:20:36,278
I'm awake.
It's okay.
471
00:20:36,322 --> 00:20:39,107
[chuckles]
Partying all night
with Astrid again, huh?
472
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:40,282
[yawns]:
Yeah.
473
00:20:42,502 --> 00:20:45,287
I was sitting in the living room
at 3:00 in the morning,
474
00:20:45,331 --> 00:20:46,462
little Astrid up on my shoulder.
475
00:20:46,506 --> 00:20:48,508
I was trying
to get a burp out of her.
476
00:20:48,551 --> 00:20:51,293
And I flip on the news,
and we're everywhere.
477
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:53,339
Mm-hmm.Every channel.
478
00:20:53,382 --> 00:20:56,124
And if it is our intention
to convince the jury
479
00:20:56,167 --> 00:20:58,779
that the real anthrax killer
is still out there,
480
00:20:58,822 --> 00:21:02,261
well, the national media
has not picked up on it.
481
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:04,306
Which means...
482
00:21:04,350 --> 00:21:06,090
we're failing.
483
00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:09,311
Well, you don't know that.
484
00:21:09,355 --> 00:21:11,400
Our target's the jury,
not cable news.
485
00:21:11,444 --> 00:21:13,359
But the world of cable news
is the world
486
00:21:13,402 --> 00:21:15,186
these jurors go home to
every night.
487
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:18,189
And if the CNNs and the Foxes
and the CNBCs aren't buying
488
00:21:18,233 --> 00:21:19,930
our version of events,
then neither
489
00:21:19,974 --> 00:21:23,325
are the jurors' families
or neighbors.
490
00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:27,111
And we all know they're not
supposed to talk about the case
491
00:21:27,155 --> 00:21:32,378
or watch the news about it...
but they do.
492
00:21:32,421 --> 00:21:35,990
I'm sorry, Bull, but I think
you're being a little premature.
493
00:21:36,033 --> 00:21:38,427
The prosecution is still
presenting their case,
494
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:40,429
and we haven't even
gotten our turn.
495
00:21:40,473 --> 00:21:43,432
I know. But we can't
wait until then.
496
00:21:43,476 --> 00:21:45,608
We have to go
on the offensive now.
497
00:21:45,652 --> 00:21:48,045
We got to use every objection,
every cross to hammer home
498
00:21:48,089 --> 00:21:51,658
how dangerous it will be
if the jury gets this one wrong.
499
00:21:51,701 --> 00:21:55,009
The killer is still out there.
500
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:58,360
CONNORS:
My wife, my-my wife Katie,
501
00:21:58,404 --> 00:22:01,407
she didn't aspire
to a political life.
502
00:22:01,450 --> 00:22:03,322
I mean, heck,
when I met her in grad school,
503
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:04,845
she didn't even read the paper.
504
00:22:04,888 --> 00:22:07,369
But then we fell in love,
and the next thing you know,
505
00:22:07,413 --> 00:22:11,112
I'm running for office and then
we're out there together
506
00:22:11,155 --> 00:22:13,419
on the campaign trail.
507
00:22:13,462 --> 00:22:15,638
Oh, she was a natural.
508
00:22:15,682 --> 00:22:17,771
I mean, she loved people.
509
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:21,731
And people sensed it
and they loved her right back.
510
00:22:21,775 --> 00:22:25,822
You see, I take enormous pride
in being a congressman.
511
00:22:25,866 --> 00:22:27,911
But the thought that my job,
512
00:22:27,955 --> 00:22:30,436
that my commitment
to public service
513
00:22:30,479 --> 00:22:35,397
somehow contributed
to her d-death... [crying]
514
00:22:35,441 --> 00:22:38,008
REYNOLDS:
It's all right,
Congressman Connors.
515
00:22:38,052 --> 00:22:39,880
No further questions.
516
00:22:39,923 --> 00:22:42,491
Uh, Bull, it's not
looking good here.
517
00:22:42,535 --> 00:22:44,667
This jury really feels
for the congressman.
518
00:22:44,711 --> 00:22:46,887
Of course they do. So do I.
519
00:22:46,930 --> 00:22:49,846
But that doesn't mean his pain
is Natalie's fault.
520
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:52,632
Congressman Connors.
521
00:22:52,675 --> 00:22:55,417
I'd just like to say
how profoundly sorry I am
522
00:22:55,461 --> 00:22:56,810
for your loss.
523
00:22:56,853 --> 00:22:58,246
Thank you.
524
00:22:58,289 --> 00:23:00,466
Now, much has been
made of the fact
525
00:23:00,509 --> 00:23:04,208
that you were a part
of a long list of legislators
526
00:23:04,252 --> 00:23:06,385
Dr. Reznick reached out to
in the wake
527
00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:09,126
of a funding cut
to her research program.
528
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:12,303
Now, do you recall
Dr. Reznick's
529
00:23:12,347 --> 00:23:15,437
message to you to be
threatening in any way?
530
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:17,134
Honestly, I don't.
531
00:23:17,178 --> 00:23:21,922
You see, my staff filters my
e-mails, so I only learned about
532
00:23:21,965 --> 00:23:27,057
that message in the, in the
aftermath of my wife's passing.
533
00:23:27,101 --> 00:23:30,147
But, no, it did not appear
to be threatening.
534
00:23:30,191 --> 00:23:33,760
But I imagine your office
must receive
535
00:23:33,803 --> 00:23:36,458
threatening e-mails
from time to time?
536
00:23:36,502 --> 00:23:38,417
Yes, unfortunately,
in my line of work,
537
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:40,288
you have to make
tough choices sometimes,
538
00:23:40,331 --> 00:23:41,985
choices that anger people,
539
00:23:42,029 --> 00:23:44,727
and occasionally
those people do lash out.
540
00:23:44,771 --> 00:23:49,297
How many threats would you
estimate that you've received
541
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:52,169
in the seven years
that you've been in Congress?
542
00:23:52,213 --> 00:23:57,740
Uh, like I said, my staff
filters my communications,
543
00:23:57,784 --> 00:24:00,177
so there's really
no way for me to know.
544
00:24:00,221 --> 00:24:03,180
Well, my office inquired.
545
00:24:03,224 --> 00:24:07,097
And according to your staff,
it's 102.
546
00:24:07,141 --> 00:24:08,316
[gallery murmuring]
547
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,187
That's how many
unique threats
548
00:24:10,231 --> 00:24:13,364
your office has received
in the past seven years.
549
00:24:13,408 --> 00:24:16,672
19 of those were death threats.
550
00:24:16,716 --> 00:24:18,848
So let me ask you,
551
00:24:18,892 --> 00:24:24,463
in the wake of these attacks,
to the best of your knowledge,
552
00:24:24,506 --> 00:24:29,250
did the FBI investigate
those 19 people
553
00:24:29,293 --> 00:24:32,035
who previously threatened
to take your life?
554
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,473
They may have.
555
00:24:34,516 --> 00:24:36,823
Honestly, I don't know.
556
00:24:36,866 --> 00:24:39,434
You don't know.
557
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:43,177
Wow. That's kind of unsettling.
558
00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:46,310
I mean, did the FBI
even ask you about
559
00:24:46,354 --> 00:24:50,314
anyone who possibly could have
had a vendetta against you
560
00:24:50,358 --> 00:24:51,968
during that time period?
561
00:24:52,012 --> 00:24:54,536
I don't know.
562
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:58,758
Well, then I truly am sorry
for you, Congressman Connors.
563
00:24:58,801 --> 00:25:02,501
Not only for your tragic
loss, but also because,
564
00:25:02,544 --> 00:25:05,765
apparently, law enforcement
seems more interested
565
00:25:05,808 --> 00:25:08,463
in scapegoating Natalie Reznick
than it does
566
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:11,640
in making sure your wife's
real killer is off the streets.
567
00:25:11,684 --> 00:25:14,556
Objection. Counsel
is testifying.
568
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,297
Sustained.
569
00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:19,561
The jury will disregard
the defense's last statement.
570
00:25:19,605 --> 00:25:21,432
Ask a question, Mr. Colón.
571
00:25:21,476 --> 00:25:22,738
That's all right, Your Honor.
572
00:25:22,782 --> 00:25:24,218
I have no
further questions
573
00:25:24,261 --> 00:25:26,176
at this time.BULL:
I'm sure you can't see it yet,
574
00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:28,483
but it finally feels
like we're making progress.
575
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:30,659
AIMES:
The government will call
its next witness, please.
576
00:25:30,703 --> 00:25:33,793
The government rests
its case, Your Honor.
577
00:25:33,836 --> 00:25:37,492
Then the defense will call
its first witness, please.
578
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:40,321
My parents came to this country
before I was born.
579
00:25:40,364 --> 00:25:42,802
They were scientists
in the Soviet Union,
580
00:25:42,845 --> 00:25:44,804
but they refused to toe
the party line,
581
00:25:44,847 --> 00:25:46,980
so their lives were in danger.
582
00:25:47,023 --> 00:25:50,505
They fled
and they found sanctuary here,
583
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:51,375
in America.
584
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:53,334
And until the day they died,
585
00:25:53,377 --> 00:25:55,597
they never ceased
being grateful for that.
586
00:25:55,641 --> 00:25:58,687
And they raised me
to be grateful, too.
587
00:25:58,731 --> 00:26:02,517
I decided
when I was
588
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,432
a very young girl
that, when I grew up,
589
00:26:04,475 --> 00:26:06,434
I-I would help people somehow,
590
00:26:06,477 --> 00:26:08,349
protect people somehow.
591
00:26:08,392 --> 00:26:11,961
So, is that how you ended
up researching cures
592
00:26:12,005 --> 00:26:14,050
for deadly biological weapons?
593
00:26:14,094 --> 00:26:17,227
Uh, well, it was...
[stammers]
594
00:26:17,271 --> 00:26:19,447
It was part of it, sure.
[chuckles]
595
00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:21,101
A love of science.
596
00:26:22,145 --> 00:26:23,320
I don't know.
597
00:26:23,364 --> 00:26:25,845
It-it-it gives me
a sense of satisfaction,
598
00:26:25,888 --> 00:26:27,542
like I'm-I'm pulling
my own weight,
599
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,936
I'm doing my share.
600
00:26:29,979 --> 00:26:32,765
I am showing my gratitude.
601
00:26:32,808 --> 00:26:35,289
So the idea that
you would hurt
602
00:26:35,332 --> 00:26:39,815
or kill fellow Americans
for your own personal gain...
603
00:26:39,859 --> 00:26:41,338
Is absurd.
604
00:26:41,382 --> 00:26:43,340
To do the work that I do,
605
00:26:43,384 --> 00:26:45,647
you have--
you have to become a doctor.
606
00:26:45,691 --> 00:26:48,258
I'm-I'm a doctor.
607
00:26:48,302 --> 00:26:50,304
I took an oath
to save lives.
608
00:26:50,347 --> 00:26:53,960
Why would I knowingly set out
to hurt anyone?
609
00:26:54,003 --> 00:26:56,745
Kill anyone?
610
00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:58,486
Thank you, Dr. Reznick.
611
00:26:58,529 --> 00:27:00,880
No further questions,
Your Honor.
612
00:27:00,923 --> 00:27:03,665
[quietly]:
They look engaged to me,
receptive.
613
00:27:03,709 --> 00:27:05,101
Open body language.
614
00:27:05,145 --> 00:27:07,147
A couple jurors
are starting to lean in.
615
00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:09,149
Does that line up
with what you're seeing?
616
00:27:09,192 --> 00:27:10,411
Sure does.
617
00:27:10,454 --> 00:27:12,065
They're starting
to find Natalie credible,
618
00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:15,155
and a few of them
are now firmly on her side.
619
00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:17,026
REYNOLDS:
So,
620
00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:18,854
Dr. Reznick,
621
00:27:18,898 --> 00:27:20,682
the pleasure you take
from your work
622
00:27:20,726 --> 00:27:24,425
is fundamentally altruistic,
right?
623
00:27:24,468 --> 00:27:27,558
I mean, you want to
pull your own weight.
624
00:27:27,602 --> 00:27:30,387
You want to do your share.
625
00:27:30,431 --> 00:27:34,130
And, most of all,
you want to helppeople, huh?
626
00:27:34,174 --> 00:27:35,654
Protect people.
627
00:27:35,697 --> 00:27:38,265
This is what you just testified
to, correct?
628
00:27:38,308 --> 00:27:40,267
Yes.
629
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:41,703
And you would never want
to hurt anyone.
630
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:43,879
You certainly wouldn't want
to see anyone die.
631
00:27:43,923 --> 00:27:44,967
I mean, the work
632
00:27:45,011 --> 00:27:45,968
you do,
633
00:27:46,012 --> 00:27:48,188
your very reason
for being,
634
00:27:48,231 --> 00:27:51,452
is all about saving lives.
635
00:27:51,495 --> 00:27:52,845
Is that correct?
636
00:27:52,888 --> 00:27:55,021
That is what I said, yes.
637
00:27:55,064 --> 00:27:56,283
Interesting.
638
00:27:56,326 --> 00:27:58,285
Because I have a video
639
00:27:58,328 --> 00:28:00,374
of an academic conference
you participated in,
640
00:28:00,417 --> 00:28:02,289
which would seem
641
00:28:02,332 --> 00:28:04,291
to suggest
otherwise.
642
00:28:04,334 --> 00:28:05,727
Uh... [clears throat]
Objection.
643
00:28:05,771 --> 00:28:07,773
Your Honor,
this is the first
644
00:28:07,816 --> 00:28:09,775
the defense has heard
of any video.
645
00:28:09,818 --> 00:28:11,951
The AUSA knows...Your Honor, a concerned citizen
646
00:28:11,994 --> 00:28:13,909
sent this video
to our office...
...he has
a duty to disclose
647
00:28:13,953 --> 00:28:15,345
any and all......only just yesterday.
648
00:28:15,389 --> 00:28:17,347
Enough! Both of you.
649
00:28:17,391 --> 00:28:18,784
Mr. Reynolds,
650
00:28:18,827 --> 00:28:22,701
I'm gonna take you at
your word and allow this.
651
00:28:22,744 --> 00:28:25,442
Mr. Colón, I will give you
ample time to prepare
652
00:28:25,486 --> 00:28:27,270
should you choose
to redirect.
653
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:28,924
Let's proceed.
654
00:28:30,186 --> 00:28:32,101
REYNOLDS: Is that you
up there, Dr. Reznick,
655
00:28:32,145 --> 00:28:33,842
on the stage,
in the video?
656
00:28:33,886 --> 00:28:35,670
It is. Yes.
657
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:38,281
REYNOLDS:
Do you recall
when this video was taken?
658
00:28:38,325 --> 00:28:40,457
Um, I-I believe
659
00:28:40,501 --> 00:28:44,461
it was an ethics panel
at a microbiology conference
660
00:28:44,505 --> 00:28:47,464
about... ten years ago.
661
00:28:47,508 --> 00:28:48,988
I was still a postgrad.
662
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:55,081
I have a hypothetical question
for you, Dr. Reznick.
663
00:28:55,124 --> 00:28:56,343
Okay.
664
00:28:56,386 --> 00:28:59,433
If an unknown deadly
virus or bacteria
665
00:28:59,476 --> 00:29:01,914
were to infect an
isolated group of people,
666
00:29:01,957 --> 00:29:03,393
what, in your opinion,
667
00:29:03,437 --> 00:29:06,222
is the best
course of action?
668
00:29:06,266 --> 00:29:08,311
Um, well, uh,
669
00:29:08,355 --> 00:29:13,055
if there was a chance to contain
the outbreak within that group,
670
00:29:13,099 --> 00:29:14,665
I'd say
that the only choice
671
00:29:14,709 --> 00:29:17,843
is to quarantine
the infected--
672
00:29:17,886 --> 00:29:19,453
nobody in, nobody out--
673
00:29:19,496 --> 00:29:23,109
and then watch the, uh,
progression of the disease.
674
00:29:23,152 --> 00:29:24,937
MODERATOR:
Even if the disease were deadly?
675
00:29:24,980 --> 00:29:26,373
NATALIE:
Well, if you don't know
676
00:29:26,416 --> 00:29:27,417
what the pathogen is,
677
00:29:27,461 --> 00:29:29,724
treating the symptoms
may be futile.
678
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:33,032
You're going to have
to let in medical workers,
679
00:29:33,075 --> 00:29:34,294
and then, at some point,
you're going
680
00:29:34,337 --> 00:29:35,904
to have to let them
back out,
681
00:29:35,948 --> 00:29:37,427
and they very well
may carry
682
00:29:37,471 --> 00:29:39,429
whatever it is
to the general population.
683
00:29:39,473 --> 00:29:41,518
So, yeah,
684
00:29:41,562 --> 00:29:43,042
harsh as it sounds,
685
00:29:43,085 --> 00:29:45,784
quarantine.
686
00:29:45,827 --> 00:29:47,176
Because, unfortunately,
687
00:29:47,220 --> 00:29:51,267
sometimes five have to die
to save 5,000.
688
00:29:51,311 --> 00:29:53,661
[courtroom murmuring]
689
00:29:58,884 --> 00:30:03,497
"Sometimes five have to die
to save 5,000."
690
00:30:07,544 --> 00:30:10,765
Is that why you sent the anthrax
through the mail, Dr. Reznick?
691
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:14,334
Because you thought it
would be okay to kill two
692
00:30:14,377 --> 00:30:16,945
if it meant recovering the funds
693
00:30:16,989 --> 00:30:19,382
that you needed

Who is this person?
870
00:37:23,415 --> 00:37:25,243
Roger Simpkins?
871
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:27,157
Uh, Natalie's boss?
872
00:37:27,201 --> 00:37:29,856
The man who oversees
the entire program?
873
00:37:29,899 --> 00:37:33,338
His position means he can come
and go between labs by himself
874
00:37:33,381 --> 00:37:34,948
without raising suspicion,
875
00:37:34,991 --> 00:37:37,080
which means
he has access
876
00:37:37,124 --> 00:37:38,386
to anthrax.
877
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:39,735
Not to mention
the know-how
878
00:37:39,779 --> 00:37:42,390
and the equipment
to dry the spores with.
879
00:37:42,434 --> 00:37:44,349
DANNY:
Not only did Dr. Simpkins
have the motive,
880
00:37:44,392 --> 00:37:46,699
the means, and the opportunity
to commit this crime--
881
00:37:46,742 --> 00:37:48,440
he was also
in the perfect position
882
00:37:48,483 --> 00:37:49,745
to frame Natalie Reznick.
883
00:37:49,789 --> 00:37:51,834
BULL:
Natalie had to get
her boss's okay
884
00:37:51,878 --> 00:37:53,488
before she wrote
to that list
885
00:37:53,532 --> 00:37:55,882
of legislators and journalists
in the wake of the budget cuts.
886
00:37:55,925 --> 00:37:57,579
Dr. Simpkins
887
00:37:57,623 --> 00:38:00,016
could easily have pulled
Congressman Connors'
888
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:03,803
and Allison Rojas' names
from that list in an effort
889
00:38:03,846 --> 00:38:05,544
to make Natalie
look guilty.
890
00:38:05,587 --> 00:38:07,546
[scoffs]
891
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:08,808
I'm sorry,
892
00:38:08,851 --> 00:38:13,334
but none of this
sounds terribly convincing.
893
00:38:13,378 --> 00:38:15,858
In fact, it sounds desperate,
894
00:38:15,902 --> 00:38:17,425
like you know
you're about to lose
895
00:38:17,469 --> 00:38:19,514
and you're throwing spaghetti
on the wall,
896
00:38:19,558 --> 00:38:20,863
hoping something will stick.
897
00:38:20,907 --> 00:38:23,170
Look, I came
to this meeting
898
00:38:23,213 --> 00:38:24,476
in good faith.
899
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,260
But I got to tell you,
900
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:29,089
I believe
Natalie Reznick is guilty,
901
00:38:29,132 --> 00:38:31,004
and nothing
I've heard here today
902
00:38:31,047 --> 00:38:34,137
even remotely begins
to change my mind.
903
00:38:34,181 --> 00:38:36,357
Well, perhaps we should
have skipped the warm-up then.
904
00:38:36,401 --> 00:38:39,621
Danny, the pièce de résistance,
if you will.
905
00:38:44,452 --> 00:38:47,499
You recognize these images,
Mr. Reynolds?
906
00:38:47,542 --> 00:38:48,630
Of course.
907
00:38:48,674 --> 00:38:50,197
Those are
from the security footage
908
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:54,070
the FBI lifted near the mailbox
where the letters were sent.
909
00:38:54,114 --> 00:38:55,376
You were never able
to identify Natalie
910
00:38:55,420 --> 00:38:57,160
in any of these photos,
were you?
911
00:38:57,204 --> 00:38:58,727
[scoffs] Come on.
Look at the time of year.
912
00:38:58,771 --> 00:39:00,468
Look how everyone is dressed.
913
00:39:00,512 --> 00:39:03,906
Nevertheless, we do believe
one of them is Natalie.
914
00:39:03,950 --> 00:39:05,517
Well, in the same way
you set out to prove
915
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,909
one of them is Natalie,
916
00:39:06,953 --> 00:39:10,260
we set out to prove
one of them is Dr. Simpkins.
917
00:39:11,827 --> 00:39:13,612
We widened the surveillance area
918
00:39:13,655 --> 00:39:15,527
and accessed all
of the security cameras
919
00:39:15,570 --> 00:39:17,355
within a half-mile
radius of the mailbox.
920
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:19,182
BENNY:
Now, the FBI determined
that there was
921
00:39:19,226 --> 00:39:22,360
an eight-hour window during
which the letters were mailed.
922
00:39:22,403 --> 00:39:25,841
So, using a photograph
of Dr. Simpkins' face,
923
00:39:25,885 --> 00:39:28,104
our office created
an algorithm
924
00:39:28,148 --> 00:39:31,107
to scan all eight hours
of the footage
925
00:39:31,151 --> 00:39:32,718
from every single camera.
926
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,938
DANNY:
This is what
we found.
927
00:39:35,982 --> 00:39:38,201
Recorded by an ATM
about four blocks away
928
00:39:38,245 --> 00:39:40,421
from the mailbox.
929
00:39:40,465 --> 00:39:43,685
BULL:
As you can see,
that's Roger Simpkins.
930
00:39:43,729 --> 00:39:45,774
And you'll notice his hat
931
00:39:45,818 --> 00:39:48,386
perfectly matches
this hat.
932
00:39:48,429 --> 00:39:50,518
In this photo.
933
00:39:50,562 --> 00:39:53,826
Where a person
is clearly mailing letters.
934
00:39:53,869 --> 00:39:56,176
Letters which I would bet
contain anthrax.
935
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:01,399
Nice work.
936
00:40:05,054 --> 00:40:07,448
Well, I suppose the four of us
937
00:40:07,492 --> 00:40:09,450
should take a walk
down to the judge's chambers,
938
00:40:09,494 --> 00:40:10,408
see if we can get an audience.
939
00:40:12,801 --> 00:40:15,195
If this isn't probable cause
for a search warrant,
940
00:40:15,238 --> 00:40:17,153
I don't know what is.
941
00:40:22,463 --> 00:40:23,725
Look out there.
942
00:40:23,769 --> 00:40:25,423
You see
a single face mask?
943
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:26,815
Nope.
944
00:40:26,859 --> 00:40:28,338
Just people walking
their dogs,
945
00:40:28,382 --> 00:40:30,340
strolling their kids.
946
00:40:30,384 --> 00:40:32,734
Well, it's like
we told the judge--
947
00:40:32,778 --> 00:40:34,910
the FBI searched
Dr. Simpkins' apartment,
948
00:40:34,954 --> 00:40:37,173
only to discover it,
too, had been bleached.
949
00:40:37,217 --> 00:40:39,741
Luckily, when they opened up
the HVAC ducts,
950
00:40:39,785 --> 00:40:43,745
they found anthrax spores
behind a vent in the kitchen.
951
00:40:43,789 --> 00:40:46,487
I still have a hard time
believing it.
952
00:40:46,531 --> 00:40:48,271
We talked about it
all the time.
953
00:40:48,315 --> 00:40:51,274
He kept saying
how he wanted to help people,
954
00:40:51,318 --> 00:40:52,667
protect people.
955
00:40:52,711 --> 00:40:54,452
Oh, I'm sure he thought
he was doing just that.
956
00:40:54,495 --> 00:40:56,932
Doing it for the
greater good.
957
00:40:56,976 --> 00:41:00,414
You know, I guess that's why
I like my work so much.
958
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:03,243
Bacteria may be challenging,
959
00:41:03,286 --> 00:41:06,420
but they're a whole hell
of a lot easier to understand
960
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:08,422
than people.
