00:00:05,635 --> 00:00:07,635
_
3
00:00:09,797 --> 00:00:11,696
I want you to think about
4
00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:13,196
the mail for a minute.
5
00:00:14,364 --> 00:00:17,763
Stop taking it for granted
like some complacent,
6
00:00:17,764 --> 00:00:19,563
sleepwalking sheep
7
00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:22,117
and really think about it.
8
00:00:23,459 --> 00:00:24,579
I promise you,
9
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:27,514
you will find the U.S. mail
10
00:00:27,795 --> 00:00:30,476
a worthy object of your contemplation.
11
00:00:35,997 --> 00:00:38,163
A piece of paper can cross a continent
12
00:00:38,164 --> 00:00:40,037
like we're passing notes in class.
13
00:00:40,497 --> 00:00:43,438
I can send you cookies from
the opposite side of the world,
14
00:00:44,013 --> 00:00:46,374
and all I have to do is
write your name on the box,
15
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:50,045
put some stamps on it, and drop it in.
16
00:00:54,031 --> 00:00:56,863
And you see, it only works
17
00:00:56,864 --> 00:00:59,530
because every single
person along the chain
18
00:00:59,531 --> 00:01:01,447
acts like a mindless automaton.
19
00:01:02,307 --> 00:01:04,423
I write an address, and they just...
20
00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:06,240
obey.
21
00:01:07,261 --> 00:01:08,349
No question.
22
00:01:09,301 --> 00:01:11,652
No deviation.
23
00:01:12,627 --> 00:01:15,197
No pause to contemplate eternity...
24
00:01:16,433 --> 00:01:17,715
Or beauty...
25
00:01:20,029 --> 00:01:21,131
Or death.
26
00:01:22,613 --> 00:01:25,996
Even you, for all your
protestations of free will,
27
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:28,722
if a box comes with your name on it,
28
00:01:28,723 --> 00:01:31,190
you can't even imagine
doing anything other...
29
00:01:31,756 --> 00:01:32,809
Than obey.
30
00:01:33,390 --> 00:01:34,740
- Morning.
- Hey.
31
00:01:36,136 --> 00:01:37,235
Here you go.
32
00:01:37,346 --> 00:01:38,761
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
33
00:01:40,277 --> 00:01:41,918
Well, it's not your fault.
34
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:44,814
Society made you this way.
35
00:01:45,246 --> 00:01:46,198
Hey, Gil?
36
00:01:46,223 --> 00:01:47,529
But you're a sheep,
37
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,339
and you're living in a world of sheep.
38
00:01:52,056 --> 00:01:53,897
And because you're all sheep,
39
00:01:53,984 --> 00:01:56,586
because all you can do is obey,
40
00:01:57,382 --> 00:01:58,641
I can reach out
41
00:01:59,279 --> 00:02:03,053
and touch anyone anywhere.
42
00:02:04,573 --> 00:02:06,055
I can reach out
43
00:02:06,745 --> 00:02:08,563
and touch you...
44
00:02:09,972 --> 00:02:11,024
Right now.
45
00:03:49,139 --> 00:03:51,685
_
46
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:07,574
You're trespassing.
47
00:05:08,037 --> 00:05:09,478
This is private property.
48
00:05:15,758 --> 00:05:16,987
Hey, Fitz.
49
00:05:18,169 --> 00:05:19,738
Come on, let's go inside.
50
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,212
Congratulations, you are now officially
51
00:05:34,291 --> 00:05:36,123
FBI profilers.
52
00:05:41,524 --> 00:05:43,524
As profilers, you're going to
53
00:05:43,549 --> 00:05:45,754
encounter a lot of skepticism.
54
00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:49,099
A lot of agents, good agents,
55
00:05:49,379 --> 00:05:51,170
think us quacks.
56
00:05:51,498 --> 00:05:52,423
No.
57
00:05:53,243 --> 00:05:55,856
We're pioneers in the
frontier of law enforcement.
58
00:05:55,857 --> 00:05:58,240
We're scientists of the mind,
59
00:05:58,265 --> 00:06:00,623
and in the very worst cases
60
00:06:00,623 --> 00:06:02,513
the FBI deals with,
61
00:06:03,043 --> 00:06:04,901
we will be
62
00:06:04,926 --> 00:06:07,248
our nation's last hope.
63
00:06:07,805 --> 00:06:10,020
Welcome to the behavioral analysis unit.
64
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:15,787
Supervisory special
agent Jessica Mcginity.
65
00:06:16,423 --> 00:06:17,556
Wonderful work.
66
00:06:19,390 --> 00:06:20,658
Thank you.
67
00:06:21,793 --> 00:06:24,089
With accommodation for superior merit,
68
00:06:24,090 --> 00:06:26,956
supervisory special
agent James Fitzgerald.
69
00:06:28,690 --> 00:06:29,990
Congratulations, Fitz.
70
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:31,389
Congratulations.
71
00:06:31,414 --> 00:06:32,676
Yeah!
72
00:06:34,016 --> 00:06:36,052
- Dad!
- Whoo-hoo!
73
00:06:49,050 --> 00:06:52,656
Dad, come on! Come outside, dad!
74
00:06:52,657 --> 00:06:54,222
Come on, dad. Mom's gonna give us speech.
75
00:06:54,223 --> 00:06:55,323
Yeah, yeah.
76
00:06:55,690 --> 00:06:57,022
Yeah, I'm coming.
77
00:06:57,023 --> 00:06:58,328
- Come on!
- I'm coming!
78
00:07:04,057 --> 00:07:05,934
Okay. Hi, everybody.
79
00:07:08,657 --> 00:07:10,706
Can you believe we're even here
80
00:07:11,194 --> 00:07:13,698
celebrating my husband
81
00:07:13,723 --> 00:07:15,777
the FBI profiler?
82
00:07:16,732 --> 00:07:18,338
I'm still pinching myself.
83
00:07:20,956 --> 00:07:23,563
You were a rookie beat
cop when we got married.
84
00:07:26,668 --> 00:07:29,350
Jim, you were determined
85
00:07:29,914 --> 00:07:31,962
always to become what you saw
86
00:07:31,964 --> 00:07:35,346
as the best version of yourself,
87
00:07:36,207 --> 00:07:37,770
to become someone
88
00:07:38,628 --> 00:07:41,739
that your family, your sons
89
00:07:41,764 --> 00:07:43,764
could look up to and admire.
90
00:07:45,499 --> 00:07:48,229
It's not easy being
married to a stubborn man.
91
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,463
I'm talking about you.
92
00:07:52,854 --> 00:07:55,563
But it's that damned
stubbornness that got you
93
00:07:55,564 --> 00:07:58,417
through night school, on
to the detective squad,
94
00:07:58,481 --> 00:07:59,915
into Quantico, and finally
95
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,152
into the elite of the elite.
96
00:08:04,127 --> 00:08:06,880
I admire that so, so much,
97
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,163
so cheers, Jim, welcome home.
98
00:08:17,978 --> 00:08:19,796
- Did you have fun?
- Yeah.
99
00:08:19,797 --> 00:08:21,396
You know I'm not great in crowds.
100
00:08:21,803 --> 00:08:23,850
Well, I tried.
101
00:08:23,875 --> 00:08:27,029
All right, look, who cares?
Dan, clean up down there!
102
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:28,629
Listen, it... It was amazing.
103
00:08:28,630 --> 00:08:29,896
Thank you.
104
00:08:29,897 --> 00:08:31,029
Aww.
105
00:08:31,030 --> 00:08:32,529
Look, I tried.
106
00:08:33,025 --> 00:08:34,929
Thank you.
107
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:36,796
Well, you know, I... I...
108
00:08:38,797 --> 00:08:39,729
What?
109
00:08:39,730 --> 00:08:40,829
I had fun.
110
00:08:41,313 --> 00:08:43,368
It's just hard waiting.
111
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:45,929
Oh, yeah.
112
00:08:45,930 --> 00:08:47,119
You know?
113
00:08:47,364 --> 00:08:49,363
No, I-i got soapy hands.
114
00:08:49,751 --> 00:08:50,828
Put 'em on me.
115
00:08:53,505 --> 00:08:55,363
Dad, there's two
bald guys at the door!
116
00:08:55,364 --> 00:08:57,763
- Oh! Put 'em up!
- Dan, Dan!
117
00:08:57,764 --> 00:08:59,996
- Look at this kid.
- Hey.
118
00:08:59,997 --> 00:09:01,429
- Hey.
- Hey.
119
00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:02,696
- Guess we missed the party.
- Look who it is.
120
00:09:02,697 --> 00:09:04,063
No, no, we're just...
We're just cleaning up.
121
00:09:04,064 --> 00:09:06,096
- Dan.
- We're trying. It's a zoo.
122
00:09:06,097 --> 00:09:08,029
Ugh, you got to change him.
123
00:09:08,030 --> 00:09:10,196
- Yeah, all right.
- There you go.
124
00:09:10,863 --> 00:09:12,395
Apologies, but...
125
00:09:12,397 --> 00:09:13,796
It's all right.
126
00:09:13,821 --> 00:09:16,032
...we have something urgent
we need to discuss with you.
127
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:19,520
Right.
128
00:09:21,516 --> 00:09:22,876
Yeah, come in.
129
00:09:23,745 --> 00:09:26,496
Mcalpine says you're the
best profiler in his class,
130
00:09:26,497 --> 00:09:28,196
maybe the best he's got.
131
00:09:28,197 --> 00:09:29,963
But you're 10 years older than the rest
132
00:09:29,964 --> 00:09:32,530
of your classmates, and
I look at your résumé,
133
00:09:32,531 --> 00:09:35,996
and I see you languishing for
almost a decade as a beat cop,
134
00:09:35,997 --> 00:09:38,468
mostly on the graffiti squad.
135
00:09:38,854 --> 00:09:40,834
You piss somebody off? What happened?
136
00:09:42,974 --> 00:09:45,564
No. I wrote a parking ticket.
137
00:09:46,284 --> 00:09:48,108
Mm. Chief asked me to make it go away
138
00:09:48,109 --> 00:09:50,442
'cause it was for a friend
of a friend, and I didn't.
139
00:09:50,443 --> 00:09:53,042
So, what, you're like the
Serpico of parking tickets?
140
00:09:53,043 --> 00:09:55,208
Some people would call
that being overly literal.
141
00:09:55,209 --> 00:09:56,663
Yeah, some people might.
142
00:09:58,676 --> 00:09:59,975
Take a look at this letter.
143
00:10:00,388 --> 00:10:01,764
Tell me what you see.
144
00:10:09,928 --> 00:10:11,942
You're making fun of me.
145
00:10:11,943 --> 00:10:13,308
You're making fun of me, right?
146
00:10:13,309 --> 00:10:16,008
Right? Here, take these upstairs.
147
00:10:16,009 --> 00:10:17,242
How many times do I have to tell you?
148
00:10:17,243 --> 00:10:18,708
You talking about the emordnilap?
149
00:10:18,709 --> 00:10:19,942
"Dad, it is I"?
150
00:10:19,943 --> 00:10:21,088
Explain.
151
00:10:23,105 --> 00:10:25,242
Well, it's a word thing.
152
00:10:25,243 --> 00:10:27,475
It's like a palindrome,
except it spells one thing
153
00:10:27,476 --> 00:10:29,042
forwards and another thing backwards.
154
00:10:29,468 --> 00:10:32,441
The first letter of each
paragraph... d, a, d,
155
00:10:32,443 --> 00:10:36,182
I, t, I, s, I.
156
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:39,292
Okay.
157
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:42,823
D, a, d, I, t, I, s, I...
158
00:10:43,022 --> 00:10:44,241
"Dad, it is I."
159
00:10:44,243 --> 00:10:46,355
D-a-d, I-t, right?
160
00:10:48,891 --> 00:10:53,608
D-a-d, I-t, I-s I...
161
00:10:53,953 --> 00:10:57,873
"Dad, it is I," "is it I, dad?"
162
00:10:58,209 --> 00:11:00,208
It's pretty cool, right?
163
00:11:00,209 --> 00:11:03,278
I'm Andy Genelli. I'm
head the Unabom task force.
164
00:11:06,462 --> 00:11:09,754
I thought the... I thought
the Unabom case was over.
165
00:11:10,743 --> 00:11:12,508
Six years and not a peep.
166
00:11:12,509 --> 00:11:15,525
They thought he was
dead, but now he's back.
167
00:11:16,887 --> 00:11:19,837
Three new mail bombs,
more deadly than before.
168
00:11:20,243 --> 00:11:22,393
The latest one yesterday...
169
00:11:22,418 --> 00:11:24,942
A timber lobbyist, Sacramento.
170
00:11:24,943 --> 00:11:27,408
The news is gonna
break on these tomorrow.
171
00:11:27,409 --> 00:11:29,042
We've been playing it
pretty close to the vest
172
00:11:29,043 --> 00:11:30,742
until we were sure it
was him, and not a...
173
00:11:30,743 --> 00:11:32,475
Hey. Okay.
174
00:11:32,476 --> 00:11:36,175
...copycat, but it's him,
and we need a profile.
175
00:11:36,176 --> 00:11:38,266
Okay. Go on upstairs now. Now.
176
00:11:38,576 --> 00:11:39,908
What are you doing?
177
00:11:40,244 --> 00:11:42,353
- I have kids.
- I want to send you.
178
00:11:43,469 --> 00:11:44,683
It's one month.
179
00:11:45,213 --> 00:11:47,042
You go out there, build a profile,
180
00:11:47,043 --> 00:11:49,047
and come back to the B.A.U.
181
00:11:49,072 --> 00:11:50,779
with a big gold star.
182
00:11:56,693 --> 00:11:58,742
They say this is from
him, from the Unabomber?
183
00:11:59,004 --> 00:12:00,461
His most recent letter.
184
00:12:00,576 --> 00:12:03,375
50 FBI agents have been going
over that a fine-tooth comb
185
00:12:03,376 --> 00:12:05,208
day and night for two weeks.
186
00:12:05,209 --> 00:12:08,875
Not one of them saw the
emordnilap, not even me.
187
00:12:08,876 --> 00:12:11,442
I've had profilers working
on this thing for 15 years,
188
00:12:11,443 --> 00:12:13,708
and we're right back to where we started.
189
00:12:14,197 --> 00:12:15,974
I need somebody that
sees things differently,
190
00:12:15,976 --> 00:12:17,804
and like it or not, that's you.
191
00:12:22,188 --> 00:12:25,142
But I've been away for four
months, and I just got back.
192
00:12:25,143 --> 00:12:26,942
I can't just up and go 'cause of him,
193
00:12:26,943 --> 00:12:30,575
so I can't do that to Ellie and the kids.
194
00:12:30,576 --> 00:12:31,875
I can't do that to my family.
195
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:33,543
Here. Good luck.
196
00:12:34,576 --> 00:12:35,924
Good night. Sorry to intrude.
197
00:12:35,949 --> 00:12:37,875
- Do me a favor, Fitz.
- Hmm?
198
00:12:37,876 --> 00:12:39,608
Fitz, think about it.
199
00:12:40,084 --> 00:12:41,112
Keep the photos.
200
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:43,969
The guy with this face blown off,
201
00:12:44,665 --> 00:12:46,234
he had a wife and kids, too.
202
00:12:48,548 --> 00:12:51,056
- See ya.
- Not if I see you first.
203
00:12:51,743 --> 00:12:52,905
Thank you.
204
00:13:03,076 --> 00:13:05,242
- Are those for me from grandma?
- Those are my cookies
205
00:13:05,243 --> 00:13:06,575
from grandma.
206
00:13:06,576 --> 00:13:08,669
- They're mine.
- Yeah. Go and unpack.
207
00:13:10,676 --> 00:13:12,248
Go, go.
208
00:13:14,359 --> 00:13:16,050
- Hi, guys.
- These are mine.
209
00:13:16,076 --> 00:13:17,771
You need to share!
210
00:13:18,129 --> 00:13:19,642
I'm definitely not sharing.
211
00:13:19,643 --> 00:13:22,442
Sorry, buddy, 'cause grandma
made these cookies just for me.
212
00:13:22,443 --> 00:13:24,597
Yeah, but you need to share.
213
00:13:35,143 --> 00:13:37,208
- These are my cookies.
- Hey, guys.
214
00:13:37,209 --> 00:13:39,242
Don't pig out on grandma's cookies.
215
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:23,808
Look at you.
You're living like an animal now, huh?
216
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:27,142
Jesus.
217
00:14:27,143 --> 00:14:28,808
You kill those yourself?
218
00:14:28,809 --> 00:14:30,775
What are you doing in my house, Cole?
219
00:14:30,776 --> 00:14:34,042
Well, I don't want to
be here, believe me.
220
00:14:34,703 --> 00:14:37,007
But the boss needs you.
221
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,708
We need you to get into
a room with Kaczynski,
222
00:14:38,709 --> 00:14:41,659
interrogate him, break him down,
223
00:14:42,009 --> 00:14:43,508
get him to plead guilty.
224
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,008
We need someone who can speak
the Unabomber's language,
225
00:14:47,282 --> 00:14:50,936
someone, uh, that he connects with.
226
00:14:53,992 --> 00:14:55,264
Besides,
227
00:14:56,877 --> 00:14:58,467
Ted asked for you.
228
00:15:07,312 --> 00:15:09,555
The Unabomber asked for me specifically?
229
00:15:10,843 --> 00:15:14,575
Specifically for you, and only you.
230
00:15:14,576 --> 00:15:15,759
Why me?
231
00:15:16,243 --> 00:15:18,008
He says he'll only talk to the person
232
00:15:18,009 --> 00:15:19,275
who actually caught him,
233
00:15:19,276 --> 00:15:20,808
and for some reason,
he thinks that's you.
234
00:15:20,809 --> 00:15:22,008
Well, that is me.
235
00:15:22,009 --> 00:15:23,508
You were chasing your tails
for years before I came.
236
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:25,908
This guy... You got some nerve.
237
00:15:25,909 --> 00:15:28,908
I found him, I caught
him, I put him in jail.
238
00:15:28,909 --> 00:15:30,608
You know what? I got
my life back together.
239
00:15:30,609 --> 00:15:32,808
I'm just gonna stay right
here. Tell Ted I'm busy.
240
00:15:32,809 --> 00:15:34,708
Listen, we have enough
evidence to convict
241
00:15:34,709 --> 00:15:36,842
Ted Kaczynski 10 times over,
242
00:15:37,494 --> 00:15:38,975
but if this goes to trial,
243
00:15:38,976 --> 00:15:41,108
he's gonna make it a media circus,
244
00:15:41,109 --> 00:15:43,542
then we would be giving the
Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski,
245
00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:45,604
the biggest microphone in America,
246
00:15:46,551 --> 00:15:48,294
and his message is dangerous.
247
00:15:49,562 --> 00:15:51,108
We need him to plead guilty.
248
00:15:51,109 --> 00:15:52,342
Look, Fitz, we're asking you,
249
00:15:52,343 --> 00:15:53,442
but we can order you if we need to.
250
00:15:53,443 --> 00:15:55,075
You can order me. Right.
251
00:15:55,076 --> 00:15:56,442
You still work for the
FBI, you remember that?
252
00:15:56,443 --> 00:15:57,542
Now, hold on, Cole?
253
00:15:57,543 --> 00:15:59,142
I get the forestry service out here...
254
00:15:59,143 --> 00:16:00,608
- Take it down, Cole!
- Get out of here.
255
00:16:00,609 --> 00:16:01,995
Get out of here.
256
00:16:04,424 --> 00:16:05,657
Hey, Fitz.
257
00:16:08,276 --> 00:16:09,433
Think about it.
258
00:17:27,042 --> 00:17:28,184
Fitz!
259
00:17:35,224 --> 00:17:37,407
You have that new-profiler smell.
260
00:17:37,408 --> 00:17:38,441
Tabby Milgrim.
261
00:17:38,442 --> 00:17:39,874
- Hi.
- I'm your new partner.
262
00:17:39,875 --> 00:17:42,074
Well, I'm the UTF's
whole behavioral unit.
263
00:17:42,485 --> 00:17:44,940
Come on. Let's get you
out of this craziness.
264
00:17:45,232 --> 00:17:47,099
PB today. Sorry.
265
00:17:48,048 --> 00:17:49,941
Flight schools sucks.
266
00:17:50,541 --> 00:17:53,406
Plus U San Raffaele is
about a fart and a half away
267
00:17:53,408 --> 00:17:55,607
from losing it's
accreditation, but whatever.
268
00:17:55,608 --> 00:17:57,774
As long as I squeak out a
masters before they go under,
269
00:17:57,775 --> 00:17:58,702
we're all good.
270
00:17:58,727 --> 00:17:59,941
So, you're a profiler.
271
00:17:59,942 --> 00:18:01,330
You trained at the B.A.U.?
272
00:18:01,355 --> 00:18:02,574
Hell no, bruh.
273
00:18:03,161 --> 00:18:04,623
I'm just a street agent.
274
00:18:13,808 --> 00:18:15,774
You ever worked on a big op before?
275
00:18:15,775 --> 00:18:18,641
Some big bank robberies and
a D.A. homicide task force
276
00:18:18,642 --> 00:18:20,741
in Philly had, like, 20 full-time agents.
277
00:18:20,742 --> 00:18:21,974
It was pretty huge, pretty intense.
278
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:25,602
Hmm. Well, welcome to
the Unabom task force.
279
00:18:26,875 --> 00:18:28,142
Whoa.
280
00:18:44,026 --> 00:18:46,358
Fresh meat, you're with me.
281
00:18:46,382 --> 00:18:47,681
Big bad Stan Cole.
282
00:18:47,682 --> 00:18:49,295
Come on... briefing's about to start.
283
00:18:51,986 --> 00:18:52,974
All right.
284
00:18:53,906 --> 00:18:55,801
I'm gonna rip the band-aid off quick.
285
00:18:56,516 --> 00:18:59,048
Most of you are TDY'd here for 60 days...
286
00:18:59,049 --> 00:19:00,858
Want to get you on the playing field,
287
00:19:01,316 --> 00:19:03,915
except of course for Tabby
whose been here for two years
288
00:19:03,916 --> 00:19:05,742
and somehow still shows up late.
289
00:19:05,916 --> 00:19:09,415
We are hunting the deadliest
serial bomber in history...
290
00:19:10,056 --> 00:19:11,365
The Unabomber.
291
00:19:12,149 --> 00:19:15,168
For 17 years he's been
planting and mailing bombs,
292
00:19:15,582 --> 00:19:18,815
16 bombs, three people
killed, dozens injured,
293
00:19:18,816 --> 00:19:21,715
and we really have no
friggin' clue who he is
294
00:19:21,716 --> 00:19:23,048
or why he's doing this.
295
00:19:23,049 --> 00:19:25,581
We call him the Unabomber
because his early targets
296
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:27,381
were universities and airlines...
297
00:19:27,382 --> 00:19:29,148
"Un" for "university,"
298
00:19:29,173 --> 00:19:31,419
"a" for "airline," Unabom.
299
00:19:32,051 --> 00:19:34,781
He calls himself "FC" for "Freedom Club."
300
00:19:34,782 --> 00:19:36,762
It's how he signs all his letters.
301
00:19:37,036 --> 00:19:38,969
It's also how he signs his bombs.
302
00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:41,253
17 years of bombs
303
00:19:41,404 --> 00:19:43,064
all signed by FC.
304
00:19:43,089 --> 00:19:44,254
He's a sick bastard.
305
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:48,002
Northwestern, 1978,
another one there in '79.
306
00:19:48,629 --> 00:19:50,918
November '79... nearly takes out
307
00:19:50,943 --> 00:19:53,135
American airlines flight 444.
308
00:19:53,136 --> 00:19:56,269
The bomb was sent via air mail
rigged with an altimeter...
309
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,602
22 passengers injured.
310
00:19:58,603 --> 00:20:01,075
1980, United Airlines president
311
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,069
gets his face blown in.
312
00:20:03,070 --> 00:20:06,169
More university bombs, '81, '82...
313
00:20:06,170 --> 00:20:09,269
Computer science professors,
engineering professors,
314
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:11,602
one poor secretary at Vanderbilt
315
00:20:11,603 --> 00:20:14,079
opened a package addressed to her boss.
316
00:20:14,545 --> 00:20:17,111
More universities in '82,
317
00:20:17,136 --> 00:20:20,186
'85, '85, Boeing in '85,
318
00:20:20,187 --> 00:20:23,453
two computer shops, '85 and '87.
319
00:20:24,196 --> 00:20:26,609
The second one, he
got his first fatality.
320
00:20:28,159 --> 00:20:31,286
And this is where we
got our first eyewitness.
321
00:20:32,658 --> 00:20:34,934
She gave us this now famous sketch,
322
00:20:35,347 --> 00:20:38,019
and then nothing for six years.
323
00:20:38,370 --> 00:20:41,919
So we figured he was dead
or maybe finally got laid.
324
00:20:43,631 --> 00:20:45,053
But then he is back...
325
00:20:45,361 --> 00:20:47,819
Epstein at U.C., Gelernter at Yale.
326
00:20:48,297 --> 00:20:50,686
In his hiatus, he
developed much more powerful
327
00:20:50,687 --> 00:20:53,186
and sophisticated bombs,
and they keep coming.
328
00:20:53,587 --> 00:20:55,719
Exxon Valdez’s PR guy, Mosser,
329
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,953
and just last week, Gil
Murray in Sacramento.
330
00:20:58,954 --> 00:21:01,727
It took three body bags
to collect the parts.
331
00:21:04,468 --> 00:21:06,719
Why these targets? Why now?
332
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,953
No clue.
333
00:21:07,954 --> 00:21:09,952
So, what forensic leads do we have?
334
00:21:10,668 --> 00:21:12,791
Basically, we have no forensic leads.
335
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:15,386
No DNA, no prints.
336
00:21:16,095 --> 00:21:17,439
But we did have a couple good ideas.
337
00:21:17,487 --> 00:21:20,386
We discovered that he gets his
addresses out one particular
338
00:21:20,387 --> 00:21:23,553
edition of "Who's who," so
we interviewed just about
339
00:21:23,554 --> 00:21:26,086
every librarian in
the country... nothing.
340
00:21:27,088 --> 00:21:28,586
Makes his bombs out of junk,
341
00:21:28,587 --> 00:21:32,053
so we did a national
junkyard canvass... no dice.
342
00:21:32,761 --> 00:21:34,886
But we figure eventually
he is gonna screw up,
343
00:21:34,887 --> 00:21:36,219
and maybe he already did.
344
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,053
Over the years, he's been
mailing typed letters...
345
00:21:39,435 --> 00:21:42,419
Nothing worth reading until
this letter that he wrote
346
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:43,886
to
the New York times.
347
00:21:43,887 --> 00:21:45,986
Now, the letter itself is blah-blah-blah,
348
00:21:45,987 --> 00:21:48,586
but forensics found
this on the envelope...
349
00:21:49,078 --> 00:21:50,538
"Call Nathan R."
350
00:21:50,752 --> 00:21:52,219
We figure he wrote himself a post-it note
351
00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:53,453
on top of the letter.
352
00:21:53,868 --> 00:21:56,408
And that is our first real lead.
353
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,487
FBI agents are
interviewing everyone called
354
00:21:58,487 --> 00:22:00,781
"Nathan R-something" in the country.
355
00:22:00,982 --> 00:22:03,953
Plan B is to find Nathans
with "R" middle names.
356
00:22:04,439 --> 00:22:06,019
10,000 Nathan Rs.
357
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:07,819
And that is it.
358
00:22:08,153 --> 00:22:09,586
Enjoy your afternoons.
359
00:22:10,552 --> 00:22:12,241
Don't forget to tip your driver.
360
00:22:14,195 --> 00:22:15,723
It's not much to go on.
361
00:22:16,195 --> 00:22:17,235
Nope.
362
00:22:17,763 --> 00:22:18,853
This is why they need us.
363
00:22:18,854 --> 00:22:21,186
The profile's gonna
focus the entire search.
364
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:24,319
It's a big responsibility.
365
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,419
It's exciting. Yeah, right?
366
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:28,190
Mildly.
367
00:22:28,303 --> 00:22:31,065
Come on. S.A.C. Ackerman
wants to meet you.
368
00:22:32,302 --> 00:22:33,353
It's an honor, sir.
369
00:22:33,354 --> 00:22:34,953
I feel privileged to
be under your command.
370
00:22:34,954 --> 00:22:36,753
I studied your cases at the academy...
371
00:22:36,754 --> 00:22:39,086
The Russian river killer,
Hartford abduction.
372
00:22:39,087 --> 00:22:40,553
Under any other agent,
that would have ended
373
00:22:40,554 --> 00:22:43,012
in a murder-suicide, and, agent Cole,
374
00:22:43,591 --> 00:22:46,242
Ohio Seven Sting, busting
the Bad Axe Militia.
375
00:22:47,036 --> 00:22:48,677
I can't believe I'm standing here.
376
00:22:49,322 --> 00:22:51,091
I am... I'm eager to learn form you both.
377
00:22:51,361 --> 00:22:53,553
Well, I love this guy already.
378
00:22:53,554 --> 00:22:56,219
So, Fitz, we sent Genelli
to bring back the best man
379
00:22:56,220 --> 00:22:58,464
he could find, and that is you.
380
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:00,019
Welcome aboard.
381
00:23:00,313 --> 00:23:03,707
And here is what you're
gonna be working on.
382
00:23:05,864 --> 00:23:08,586
Low I.Q., formerly employed
by an airline mechanic
383
00:23:08,587 --> 00:23:11,019
or technician, no higher education,
384
00:23:11,020 --> 00:23:13,308
possibly little to no high school,
385
00:23:13,690 --> 00:23:16,729
grew up in Ohio... Cleveland
or Cincinnati likely...
386
00:23:16,927 --> 00:23:18,697
Currently resides in the bay area.
387
00:23:19,744 --> 00:23:21,119
So, what is this?
388
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,326
It's our current profile,
my own summary of it.
389
00:23:25,554 --> 00:23:26,586
Where's the rest of it?
390
00:23:26,587 --> 00:23:28,319
That's exactly why you're here.
391
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,719
I want you to take that, flesh it out.
392
00:23:31,405 --> 00:23:33,686
I'm gonna need 15 pages
that can directly on
393
00:23:33,687 --> 00:23:36,119
Attorney General Janet Reno's desk.
394
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:38,369
So make us look good.
395
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:42,553
Yeah, I will. I will. I'll do my best.
396
00:23:42,554 --> 00:23:44,153
It's just a little
different than I'm used to,
397
00:23:44,154 --> 00:23:46,386
'cause in terms of a profile,
they were a lot more scientific
398
00:23:46,387 --> 00:23:48,086
and a little bit longer.
399
00:23:48,087 --> 00:23:49,653
Welcome to the real world.
400
00:23:50,134 --> 00:23:52,086
Quantico's a long way away.
401
00:23:52,719 --> 00:23:54,854
What S.S.A. Cole means
is that that summary
402
00:23:54,879 --> 00:23:57,344
is a distillation of 10 years work,
403
00:23:57,789 --> 00:24:00,587
so it's got a solid foundation
and we don't expect it
404
00:24:00,587 --> 00:24:03,153
to change except for the wood thing.
405
00:24:03,154 --> 00:24:04,189
Mm.
406
00:24:04,571 --> 00:24:05,886
The wood thing?
407
00:24:05,887 --> 00:24:08,553
There's a theory FC
is obsessed with wood.
408
00:24:08,554 --> 00:24:11,631
Maybe he has erectile dysfunction.
409
00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:13,986
Since he blew up this
Mosser guy... moss...
410
00:24:13,987 --> 00:24:17,553
It's like a plant, so that
can go in your profile now.
411
00:24:17,554 --> 00:24:20,119
That's gonna play very,
very well with the press,
412
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,619
so I want you to dress that up a bit,
413
00:24:22,620 --> 00:24:26,553
uh, "a propensity for softness
in the genital region,"
414
00:24:26,554 --> 00:24:28,563
something like that... But nothing crude.
415
00:24:31,052 --> 00:24:33,042
I can definitely do something.
416
00:24:34,467 --> 00:24:36,138
I was excepting a support team.
417
00:24:36,163 --> 00:24:37,986
Nope. It's all you, Fitz.
418
00:24:38,361 --> 00:24:39,686
But I know you can handle it.
419
00:24:40,451 --> 00:24:41,453
Okay.
420
00:24:42,093 --> 00:24:45,019
15 pages, clean, no typos, and wood,
421
00:24:45,020 --> 00:24:47,728
a lot of bullet points,
a lot of big words,
422
00:24:48,595 --> 00:24:50,882
a couple weeks, get it turned in,
423
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,484
get you back home.
424
00:24:53,272 --> 00:24:55,153
If you want to hear some war stories,
425
00:24:55,544 --> 00:24:56,686
come out for a beer tomorrow.
426
00:24:56,687 --> 00:24:59,219
We're going to Freddy's...
Old-school San Francisco.
427
00:24:59,220 --> 00:25:00,220
You'll like it.
428
00:25:00,609 --> 00:25:01,954
- Sure.
- Yeah.
429
00:25:39,968 --> 00:25:41,248
I just don't see it.
430
00:25:41,432 --> 00:25:42,974
I just don't see the wood thing.
431
00:25:45,232 --> 00:25:48,373
They want me to do a thing
about FC's erectile dysfunction.
432
00:25:49,665 --> 00:25:51,531
What is it with men and their dongs?
433
00:25:51,532 --> 00:25:52,731
You should write it.
434
00:25:52,732 --> 00:25:55,205
Write that report...
You'll be on CNN tonight.
435
00:25:56,365 --> 00:25:57,673
It's B.S.
436
00:26:00,074 --> 00:26:02,615
This profile... This profile is B.S.
437
00:26:04,885 --> 00:26:06,231
I think it's got to go.
438
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:07,597
Let's just start over.
439
00:26:08,002 --> 00:26:09,664
What, just toss it all?
440
00:26:10,290 --> 00:26:11,397
I don't know, man.
441
00:26:11,398 --> 00:26:13,997
They've been saying "airlines,
mechanic from Cincinnati"
442
00:26:13,998 --> 00:26:16,405
for years now... Consistently.
443
00:26:16,798 --> 00:26:18,264
There must be some reason.
444
00:26:18,782 --> 00:26:19,963
Come here.
445
00:26:21,132 --> 00:26:23,431
What's the first trap we
watch for as profilers?
446
00:26:24,112 --> 00:26:25,631
Inherited assumptions.
447
00:26:25,632 --> 00:26:28,864
So all these preconceptions
we just toss out,
448
00:26:28,865 --> 00:26:30,069
come at it clean.
449
00:26:30,265 --> 00:26:31,764
We know nothing about nothing about FC
450
00:26:31,765 --> 00:26:33,664
except what the evidence tells us,
451
00:26:34,083 --> 00:26:36,232
so if we don't assume
that he's a airline worker,
452
00:26:36,232 --> 00:26:37,631
what else points to Cincinnati?
453
00:26:38,481 --> 00:26:40,183
All the bombs that he
planted at the universities...
454
00:26:40,208 --> 00:26:42,207
Was it because he's a resentful outsider
455
00:26:42,232 --> 00:26:43,764
or because that's
where he felt most safe?
456
00:26:43,765 --> 00:26:46,297
And here... All right? Okay.
457
00:26:46,298 --> 00:26:48,758
When he talked down on
people with advanced degrees,
458
00:26:49,572 --> 00:26:51,797
is he actually low I.Q.
with no higher education,
459
00:26:51,798 --> 00:26:53,597
or is he really smart, maybe
he has a bunch of degrees
460
00:26:53,598 --> 00:26:55,464
and knows we're gonna read
this letter and is hoping
461
00:26:55,465 --> 00:26:57,117
that we don't think too hard about it?
462
00:26:59,264 --> 00:27:01,739
I... Wow.
463
00:27:03,295 --> 00:27:04,385
Yeah.
464
00:27:05,847 --> 00:27:06,984
I don't know.
465
00:27:07,805 --> 00:27:09,031
Exactly.
466
00:27:09,624 --> 00:27:10,875
We don't know.
467
00:27:11,764 --> 00:27:13,267
We don't know anything.
468
00:27:14,665 --> 00:27:16,031
But you go by this profile,
469
00:27:16,032 --> 00:27:18,836
your mind is just gonna go like this.
470
00:27:21,032 --> 00:27:22,331
So we start over.
471
00:27:22,332 --> 00:27:24,157
Make the list, everything we need.
472
00:27:26,697 --> 00:27:27,731
Yes!
473
00:27:27,999 --> 00:27:29,831
Respectfully, this is
what I need to start over
474
00:27:29,832 --> 00:27:31,531
and build a profile we
can all stand behind.
475
00:27:31,532 --> 00:27:33,697
I know it's a bump in
time and in resources,
476
00:27:33,698 --> 00:27:35,697
but this is going on the
Attorney General's desk,
477
00:27:35,698 --> 00:27:37,331
it's going in the press
with your name on it,
478
00:27:37,332 --> 00:27:39,531
so we have to get it right.
479
00:27:40,063 --> 00:27:42,231
How many profiles have you created,
480
00:27:42,232 --> 00:27:43,921
outside the classroom, I mean?
481
00:27:44,132 --> 00:27:45,997
This is my first.
482
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,131
Well, there you go.
483
00:27:47,568 --> 00:27:49,284
So let me explain to you how this works.
484
00:27:49,964 --> 00:27:51,664
Your job is to fulfill the duties
485
00:27:51,665 --> 00:27:53,297
laid out to you by S.A.C.
486
00:27:53,298 --> 00:27:54,497
That's Ackerman.
487
00:27:54,498 --> 00:27:57,538
He gave you parameters, now go execute.
488
00:27:57,864 --> 00:27:59,231
Respectfully, all I'm asking for
489
00:27:59,232 --> 00:28:00,664
is the freedom to do
excellent work for you.
490
00:28:00,665 --> 00:28:01,964
That's all.
491
00:28:01,965 --> 00:28:03,864
Otherwise, your profile is
gonna hamper your investigation.
492
00:28:03,865 --> 00:28:04,964
It's not gonna help it.
493
00:28:06,432 --> 00:28:07,697
When your only tool's a hammer, son,
494
00:28:07,698 --> 00:28:09,497
everything looks like a nail.
495
00:28:09,498 --> 00:28:12,231
You're a profiler, you think
the profile's gonna catch him.
496
00:28:12,828 --> 00:28:14,464
Genelli's a gearhead.
497
00:28:14,465 --> 00:28:16,264
He thinks it's all about his computer.
498
00:28:16,265 --> 00:28:18,131
We got a guy that's been
working on the Unabomber
499
00:28:18,132 --> 00:28:20,631
stamp selection for the last five years.
500
00:28:21,225 --> 00:28:23,718
To him, a $1 Eugene O'Neill stamp
501
00:28:23,743 --> 00:28:26,076
is the key to everything.
502
00:28:27,031 --> 00:28:29,697
Now, I inherited that guy and I
allow him to pursue that avenue,
503
00:28:29,698 --> 00:28:31,945
'cause, uh, well, you never know.
504
00:28:33,299 --> 00:28:34,943
But when I tell him to do something,
505
00:28:36,477 --> 00:28:37,831
I expect him to do it.
506
00:28:40,035 --> 00:28:41,231
Well, I'm not your stamp guy.
507
00:28:41,232 --> 00:28:42,431
I'm your profiler.
508
00:28:42,432 --> 00:28:45,325
Even the stamp guy doesn't
think he's the stamp guy.
509
00:28:55,098 --> 00:28:56,997
All right, let me walk you through it.
510
00:28:58,232 --> 00:28:59,544
You know what these are?
511
00:29:00,234 --> 00:29:02,131
These are profiles of the Unabomber,
512
00:29:02,132 --> 00:29:03,331
and we've got them all.
513
00:29:03,855 --> 00:29:05,341
You want to know where he lives?
514
00:29:05,698 --> 00:29:06,636
Okay.
515
00:29:07,749 --> 00:29:09,631
In a house with a room
that his wife and kids
516
00:29:09,632 --> 00:29:11,293
know never to go into.
517
00:29:12,965 --> 00:29:15,787
Or maybe with his mother...
518
00:29:16,330 --> 00:29:18,354
a Norman Bates thing going on.
519
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:22,106
And this is a classic.
520
00:29:22,733 --> 00:29:25,364
It's 20 full pages by
the legendary John Douglas
521
00:29:25,365 --> 00:29:27,931
about how the Unabomber maintains his car
522
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:31,464
right down to the air
freshener, which is royal pine.
523
00:29:32,798 --> 00:29:34,931
Now, we've had every top
profiler in the business
524
00:29:34,932 --> 00:29:36,497
come through here, and
every single one of them
525
00:29:36,498 --> 00:29:38,964
says he's got to start all
over, and every one of them
526
00:29:38,965 --> 00:29:40,564
says something completely different,
527
00:29:40,565 --> 00:29:42,731
so pardon me if I'm a little skeptical
528
00:29:42,732 --> 00:29:44,086
of your profession.
529
00:29:44,919 --> 00:29:46,697
Now, Ackerman brought me in here
530
00:29:46,698 --> 00:29:49,564
to keep this investigation
focused and on track.
531
00:29:49,565 --> 00:29:51,431
We've been running around
in circles for years,
532
00:29:51,432 --> 00:29:52,997
and it's time for that to stop.
533
00:29:53,769 --> 00:29:56,497
So instead of 100 different
contradictory profiles,
534
00:29:56,498 --> 00:29:58,001
we're going with one
535
00:29:58,026 --> 00:30:01,231
backed up by concrete forensic evidence,
536
00:30:01,585 --> 00:30:03,064
and that's the profile that I gave you.
537
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,704
The only way we're gonna
catch the Unabomber,
538
00:30:05,729 --> 00:30:08,192
same way we catch
anybody, that's forensics.
539
00:30:08,295 --> 00:30:09,497
It's plain and simple.
540
00:30:10,179 --> 00:30:12,231
Now, you could spend
six months coming up with
541
00:30:12,232 --> 00:30:14,231
the world's most accurate profile,
542
00:30:14,511 --> 00:30:15,864
but that's not what we're looking for.
543
00:30:16,261 --> 00:30:18,898
We're looking for 15
pages, no typos, and wood,
544
00:30:18,898 --> 00:30:21,031
and we want to take it
to the press next week.
545
00:30:21,032 --> 00:30:23,264
Now, I understand that
you're a brilliant guy.
546
00:30:23,265 --> 00:30:24,183
I do.
547
00:30:24,732 --> 00:30:27,264
Mcalpine says you can all kinds
of stuff hidden in letters,
548
00:30:27,265 --> 00:30:29,464
and that's great, so
take the Unabom letters
549
00:30:29,465 --> 00:30:30,873
and find wood.
550
00:30:31,934 --> 00:30:32,864
Okay?
551
00:30:33,451 --> 00:30:37,046
So right now, all that's required of you
552
00:30:37,420 --> 00:30:38,767
is obedience.
553
00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:41,531
Understand?
554
00:30:49,583 --> 00:30:52,502
Okay, on Tuesday,
we discussed regional dialects
555
00:30:52,527 --> 00:30:54,282
and linguistic prescriptivism.
556
00:30:54,682 --> 00:30:56,009
See you next week.
557
00:31:07,127 --> 00:31:08,182
Natalie.
558
00:31:16,668 --> 00:31:18,486
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to just show up.
559
00:31:19,316 --> 00:31:21,116
I just didn't know where else to go.
560
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:27,310
What happened to you?
561
00:31:29,914 --> 00:31:31,071
Where'd you go?
562
00:31:32,516 --> 00:31:33,693
Where have you been?
563
00:31:34,218 --> 00:31:35,515
You know, I tried to find you.
564
00:31:36,023 --> 00:31:37,660
I called your office, your home.
565
00:31:37,701 --> 00:31:40,149
I talked to your wife... Everything.
566
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,609
The Unabom case is over.
567
00:31:42,903 --> 00:31:44,584
It was over two years ago.
568
00:31:45,794 --> 00:31:48,038
It's not over, and I need help.
569
00:31:48,202 --> 00:31:50,548
You have to have some place you can go...
570
00:31:51,504 --> 00:31:54,386
Family, somebody other than me.
571
00:32:01,910 --> 00:32:04,482
Hey. Look, look... We got a friend!
572
00:32:05,168 --> 00:32:06,179
What's your name?
573
00:32:06,180 --> 00:32:07,712
Winston and Jasper.
574
00:32:09,147 --> 00:32:11,746
Look, I-i have to defend my
dissertation in a couple weeks,
575
00:32:11,747 --> 00:32:13,096
so I have to work tonight.
576
00:32:17,647 --> 00:32:19,212
All right, I'm gonna take
these guys to the kitchen.
577
00:32:19,213 --> 00:32:21,520
Why don't you... why
don't you take a shower?
578
00:32:21,551 --> 00:32:23,222
You can sleep on the couch.
579
00:32:23,615 --> 00:32:25,256
Come on! Come on!
580
00:32:39,847 --> 00:32:41,932
They want me to go in
and interrogate Ted.
581
00:32:42,813 --> 00:32:43,947
They need me.
582
00:32:45,514 --> 00:32:47,113
They need me to get the guilty plea.
583
00:32:49,097 --> 00:32:50,271
I think that...
584
00:32:51,647 --> 00:32:53,751
I think I need to confront
him and get some answers.
585
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:55,646
You
have the answers.
586
00:32:55,647 --> 00:32:57,646
You proved that Ted's the Unabomber.
587
00:32:58,059 --> 00:33:00,922
Answers for myself, so I can understand
588
00:33:00,947 --> 00:33:04,879
what happened to me and
where I should go from here.
589
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,646
And what makes you
think that he has answers
590
00:33:07,647 --> 00:33:08,748
to any question that matters?
591
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,045
What do you think?
592
00:33:13,447 --> 00:33:15,000
You wanted this.
593
00:33:17,313 --> 00:33:19,001
You wanted him in your life.
594
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,149
Secretly, somehow you wanted this.
595
00:33:23,647 --> 00:33:24,918
That's the answer.
596
00:33:27,013 --> 00:33:28,845
That's the only way I can
make sense of what happened.
597
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,379
You wanted him in your life
598
00:33:31,380 --> 00:33:33,273
more than you wanted
anyone or anything else.
599
00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:38,212
Why would I want that?
600
00:33:38,213 --> 00:33:40,047
What kind of person would want that?
601
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,379
They interview 10,000 Nathan Rs,
602
00:33:47,380 --> 00:33:49,012
and then they turn to me
and say that profiling's
603
00:33:49,013 --> 00:33:51,151
a waste of resources. Think about that.
604
00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:54,035
You're a cog in the machine, Fitz.
605
00:33:54,347 --> 00:33:55,632
Embrace it, bruh.
606
00:34:02,009 --> 00:34:04,339
Oh-oh! There he is.
607
00:34:05,114 --> 00:34:07,792
It's our head shrinker come
to mingle with the commoners.
608
00:34:20,184 --> 00:34:23,324
- Hey, where you going, bruh?
- Sacramento to do my job.
609
00:34:32,446 --> 00:34:34,108
They want you to obey.
610
00:34:34,109 --> 00:34:37,304
They want you to be a
sheep like they are sheep...
611
00:34:37,576 --> 00:34:40,988
Obedient, unquestioning
piece of machinery.
612
00:34:41,626 --> 00:34:44,925
Sit when told to sit,
stand when told to stand.
613
00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:47,975
They want you to give up
your humanity, your autonomy
614
00:34:47,976 --> 00:34:51,501
for a paycheck, gold star, bigger TV.
615
00:34:53,007 --> 00:34:54,611
The only way to be human,
616
00:34:54,976 --> 00:34:57,899
the only way to be free, is to rebel.
617
00:34:58,376 --> 00:34:59,665
They'll try to crush you.
618
00:34:59,976 --> 00:35:03,008
They'll use every tactic they
have to make you obedient,
619
00:35:03,009 --> 00:35:05,819
docile, subservient,
but you can't let them.
620
00:35:06,176 --> 00:35:09,760
You have to be your own
master, whatever that takes.
621
00:35:10,676 --> 00:35:12,408
Better to die a human being
622
00:35:12,409 --> 00:35:15,179
than to live as a purposeless
cog in their machine.
623
00:35:42,637 --> 00:35:44,851
You dropped it in the mail a week ago.
624
00:35:57,242 --> 00:35:58,396
Gil.
625
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:02,062
This just came.
626
00:36:38,242 --> 00:36:39,727
You want to be here.
627
00:36:44,042 --> 00:36:45,431
You want to be here,
628
00:36:47,742 --> 00:36:51,528
touching this, savoring it.
629
00:37:05,176 --> 00:37:06,608
But you can't be here.
630
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:08,213
You can't be here.
631
00:37:09,462 --> 00:37:13,287
Ever... for any of them.
632
00:37:16,242 --> 00:37:19,729
Why is that enough for you and
not any other serial killer?
633
00:37:21,801 --> 00:37:23,085
Never to see it,
634
00:37:23,851 --> 00:37:26,544
hear it, taste it,
635
00:37:28,109 --> 00:37:30,098
never to see Gil Murray's body.
636
00:37:31,576 --> 00:37:33,066
Because it's not about him.
637
00:37:34,409 --> 00:37:36,946
It's not about him as
an individual, is it?
638
00:37:45,203 --> 00:37:46,964
These aren't people to you.
639
00:37:50,291 --> 00:37:51,667
They're symbols.
640
00:37:52,886 --> 00:37:54,291
You're sending a message.
641
00:37:55,958 --> 00:37:59,253
That's why you use the
mail, 'cause it's a message.
642
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:01,760
It's a hidden message.
643
00:38:03,129 --> 00:38:04,759
And what does it symbolize?
644
00:38:05,107 --> 00:38:06,714
What does it represent?
645
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,008
So, what are you trying to tell us, FC?
646
00:38:14,442 --> 00:38:15,897
What are you trying to tell me?
647
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:23,548
"Dad, it is I."
648
00:38:27,542 --> 00:38:29,671
What are you trying to tell me, FC?
649
00:38:34,509 --> 00:38:35,960
What are you trying to tell me?
650
00:38:49,279 --> 00:38:51,778
Your whole profile is
built on the assumption
651
00:38:51,779 --> 00:38:53,578
that FC was one of the airline mechanics
652
00:38:53,579 --> 00:38:55,478
that United Airlines
laid off in Cincinnati,
653
00:38:55,479 --> 00:38:58,044
and that he targeted
American Airlines flight 444
654
00:38:58,045 --> 00:39:01,378
and United president Percy Wood
out of a personal grudge, right?
655
00:39:01,379 --> 00:39:02,239
Right.
656
00:39:02,845 --> 00:39:04,544
But let's think about mail bombs.
657
00:39:04,545 --> 00:39:06,844
He can't hear them, he can't see
them, he can't visit the site,
658
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:08,011
he can't view the bodies, anything.
659
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:09,944
It's none of the satisfaction of revenge.
660
00:39:10,633 --> 00:39:12,063
But he keeps bombing anyway.
661
00:39:12,779 --> 00:39:13,811
Why?
662
00:39:14,287 --> 00:39:16,578
Because these aren't personal targets.
663
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,144
They are representational targets.
664
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:21,948
Gil Murray was a symbol
of something for him.
665
00:39:21,948 --> 00:39:24,180
All of his targets
symbolize something for FC.
666
00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:26,912
We have done every kind of victimology.
667
00:39:26,913 --> 00:39:29,146
His victims are random,
668
00:39:29,409 --> 00:39:31,346
totally unconnected to each other.
669
00:39:31,347 --> 00:39:32,556
All right.
670
00:39:32,747 --> 00:39:34,679
So he spends years perfecting
the most untraceable,
671
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,679
sophisticated mail bomb ever created,
672
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,629
and then just picks random
targets from a phone book?
673
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:43,179
I don't think it was a random coincidence
674
00:39:43,180 --> 00:39:45,246
that these letters spell "Dad, it is I,"
675
00:39:45,247 --> 00:39:47,646
and I don't think it's a random
coincidence that he's targeting
676
00:39:47,647 --> 00:39:50,579
airlines, scientists,
computers, forestry people.
677
00:39:50,580 --> 00:39:52,279
I think it only seems random
678
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,979
because we don't know what connects them.
679
00:39:53,980 --> 00:39:56,276
We can't... We don't know his code,
680
00:39:56,613 --> 00:39:58,046
and the reason that
we don't know his code
681
00:39:58,047 --> 00:40:00,712
is because we're still assuming
he's a low-I.Q. pissed off
682
00:40:00,713 --> 00:40:03,412
airline mechanic when he's actually been
683
00:40:03,413 --> 00:40:04,646
outsmarting us the whole time.
684
00:40:04,647 --> 00:40:06,179
We've got hard forensic evidence
685
00:40:06,180 --> 00:40:08,688
that he's a trained airline mechanic.
686
00:40:09,380 --> 00:40:10,369
Look.
687
00:40:11,580 --> 00:40:14,579
Batteries soldered in
series, encased in a wire cage
688
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:16,979
just like airplane power bricks,
689
00:40:18,035 --> 00:40:20,912
he's an expert at casting
and shaping aluminum,
690
00:40:21,675 --> 00:40:24,146
and look... look at this
new switch he's developed.
691
00:40:24,147 --> 00:40:26,846
It looks exactly like an
airplane tail stand on a 747.
692
00:40:26,847 --> 00:40:27,946
We've had pilots confirm that.
693
00:40:27,947 --> 00:40:29,179
That only looks like a tail stand
694
00:40:29,180 --> 00:40:30,546
if you're looking for
proof of the supposition
695
00:40:30,547 --> 00:40:31,846
that he's an airline mechanic.
696
00:40:31,847 --> 00:40:34,045
If you're objective about
it, it's just a switch.
697
00:40:35,171 --> 00:40:36,846
Do you ever think that the
reason you haven't got him
698
00:40:36,847 --> 00:40:39,798
in 17 years is that
you're underestimating him?
699
00:40:40,542 --> 00:40:42,746
There is a powerful
intelligence at work here,
700
00:40:42,747 --> 00:40:44,579
a deep personal philosophy underpinning
701
00:40:44,580 --> 00:40:45,779
all of FC's actions.
702
00:40:45,780 --> 00:40:47,746
Now, you figure out the philosophy,
703
00:40:47,747 --> 00:40:49,712
you can figure out the
man, you can crack the code.
704
00:40:49,713 --> 00:40:51,779
But not with this.
705
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,557
We have to start over.
706
00:40:54,174 --> 00:40:55,812
Get rid of that and start over.
707
00:41:00,989 --> 00:41:02,981
Fitz, buddy,
708
00:41:04,676 --> 00:41:05,917
you're breaking my heart.
709
00:41:10,082 --> 00:41:14,179
You are part of a
world-class orchestra here.
710
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:16,446
Lots of instruments, lots of virtuosos,
711
00:41:16,447 --> 00:41:20,346
and out of all of these
players, I'm pointing to you,
712
00:41:20,347 --> 00:41:24,112
and I'm saying now is
the time for your solo.
713
00:41:24,113 --> 00:41:26,228
Stand up, play your heart out
714
00:41:26,478 --> 00:41:28,731
so the whole world can hear you.
715
00:41:30,913 --> 00:41:34,179
But you got to play with the
sheet music that I'm giving you.
716
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:36,279
Because you may be a
once-in-a-century talent,
717
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,457
but if you can't harmonize
with the rest of the orchestra,
718
00:41:41,297 --> 00:41:43,149
I'm gonna have to send you home.
719
00:42:01,347 --> 00:42:04,146
Dude, where have you been?
Why ain't you downstairs?
720
00:42:04,147 --> 00:42:05,412
Didn't Genelli tell you?
721
00:42:05,413 --> 00:42:07,412
I'm going home. I'm not writing that B.S.
722
00:42:07,413 --> 00:42:08,746
Fitz, you got to get
down to forensics now.
723
00:42:12,313 --> 00:42:14,746
You said he had a personal philosophy,
724
00:42:14,747 --> 00:42:16,869
some message he's trying to send.
725
00:42:17,513 --> 00:42:18,888
You were right.
726
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:26,746
The New York Times called it in.
727
00:42:27,165 --> 00:42:28,347
They got a package.
728
00:42:28,962 --> 00:42:30,346
Another bomb?
729
00:42:30,347 --> 00:42:31,911
No, it's something else.
730
00:42:49,579 --> 00:42:52,146
They're calling it the
"Unabomber manifesto."
731
00:43:03,461 --> 00:43:05,748
If you screw this up, we'll crucify you.
732
00:43:13,641 --> 00:43:16,243
_
733
00:43:22,225 --> 00:43:24,123
Hey, we just got handed
a 56-page manifesto
734
00:43:24,243 --> 00:43:26,276
from the most elusive
criminal in the world,
735
00:43:26,277 --> 00:43:28,426
something so important he wants
both The Post and The Times to
736
00:43:28,546 --> 00:43:31,059
have it, and I just want five
minutes in the lab to read it.
737
00:43:31,179 --> 00:43:33,207
I'll gown up, I'll look
over their shoulders.
738
00:43:33,327 --> 00:43:35,809
- It's five minutes.
- There's a system here, a process,
739
00:43:35,810 --> 00:43:38,567
a process that begins with
a complete forensic analysis...
740
00:43:38,687 --> 00:43:40,642
Thorough, unhurried, uncorrupted
741
00:43:40,762 --> 00:43:42,884
- by meddling rubberneckers.
- Yeah, I know, but it's
742
00:43:43,004 --> 00:43:45,189
a big break in the case, and I'm
here to be a word guy, all right?
743
00:43:45,214 --> 00:43:47,304
You are here to wait and
to do what you're told.
744
00:43:47,329 --> 00:43:49,364
A big break in this case
comes when we pull
745
00:43:49,389 --> 00:43:52,393
a fingerprint off one of those pages,
when we find another Nathan R.
746
00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:54,959
A single strand of hair
would be far more valuable
747
00:43:55,079 --> 00:43:58,012
than anything you are gonna
get from reading the guy's rant.
748
00:43:58,132 --> 00:44:00,565
Well, "Dad, it is I"...
He got that from reading.
749
00:44:00,685 --> 00:44:03,631
Yeah, case friggin' closed.
We wait for forensics...
750
00:44:03,632 --> 00:44:06,098
A month, a year, however long it takes.
751
00:44:06,099 --> 00:44:09,076
And meanwhile, if you want
to see some real police work,
752
00:44:09,196 --> 00:44:10,384
step inside.
753
00:44:12,619 --> 00:44:15,664
Fitz, dude, you got to check
this out. It's friggin' sweet.
754
00:44:15,784 --> 00:44:18,075
- You're up.
- We analyzed the postal steam
755
00:44:18,110 --> 00:44:20,317
of the whole West Coast,
and we traced the path
756
00:44:20,318 --> 00:44:22,283
of every Unabom letter and package
757
00:44:22,284 --> 00:44:24,908
from the moment it
dropped into a mailbox
758
00:44:25,057 --> 00:44:26,909
to sorting and distro to
759
00:44:27,029 --> 00:44:30,084
final delivery, where we identified
two critical choke points.
760
00:44:30,113 --> 00:44:33,021
So, if Unabom decides to keep
761
00:44:33,141 --> 00:44:35,815
dropping his mail in the Bay
Area, there is a 95% chance...
762
00:44:35,844 --> 00:44:37,900
"Dad, it is I" tells us he likes
763
00:44:37,949 --> 00:44:39,587
word games and puzzles,
764
00:44:40,975 --> 00:44:43,674
and that he thinks he's
smarter than everyone,
765
00:44:44,310 --> 00:44:46,303
and that he can be sneaking on by us.
766
00:44:46,423 --> 00:44:48,519
- _
- It's kind of true, 'cause
767
00:44:48,567 --> 00:44:50,162
no one here noticed
768
00:44:50,441 --> 00:44:53,839
'cause you all underestimated him.
769
00:44:54,574 --> 00:44:57,456
He has problems talking people.
770
00:44:58,972 --> 00:45:00,753
That's why he resorts to cyphers.
771
00:45:02,254 --> 00:45:05,127
- _
- And he's probably got Daddy issues.
772
00:45:05,247 --> 00:45:06,213
Now,
773
00:45:06,824 --> 00:45:09,048
I got all this from a one-page letter.
774
00:45:09,168 --> 00:45:11,592
- _
- Imagine what I would get
775
00:45:11,712 --> 00:45:13,866
- _
- off a 56-page manifesto.
776
00:45:18,415 --> 00:45:19,416
Oh, yeah.
777
00:45:19,417 --> 00:45:21,849
Now, that's my partner, right there.
778
00:45:22,444 --> 00:45:26,314
You'll get your 56 pages
after forensics is finished.
779
00:45:26,776 --> 00:45:27,846
Goodbye.
780
00:45:28,826 --> 00:45:30,391
You're telling yourself
781
00:45:30,517 --> 00:45:32,252
that you're the ones in control.
782
00:45:33,408 --> 00:45:34,920
They obey you,
783
00:45:35,219 --> 00:45:36,519
your technology,
784
00:45:36,996 --> 00:45:38,574
your machines.
785
00:45:39,373 --> 00:45:41,648
But what would you do without your car,
786
00:45:42,241 --> 00:45:43,585
your telephone?
787
00:45:44,413 --> 00:45:47,226
What if all the airplanes just stopped?
788
00:45:49,968 --> 00:45:52,874
Ten years ago computers were expensive toys.
789
00:45:53,786 --> 00:45:57,246
Today civilisation as we know
would fall apart without them.
790
00:46:00,185 --> 00:46:02,277
You live in terror of a blackout,
791
00:46:02,616 --> 00:46:04,795
a computer crash and a car won't start
792
00:46:04,865 --> 00:46:06,787
a phone doesn't ring.
793
00:46:07,209 --> 00:46:09,209
So you construct your lives,
794
00:46:09,553 --> 00:46:11,960
your whole society so that won't happen.
795
00:46:14,319 --> 00:46:17,502
Everything revolves around their needs,
not yours.
796
00:46:18,198 --> 00:46:21,233
They buzz, you jump.
They beep, you answer.
797
00:46:21,811 --> 00:46:23,405
So ask yourself.
798
00:46:23,873 --> 00:46:25,678
Who's really in control?
799
00:46:26,889 --> 00:46:27,983
You?
800
00:46:29,195 --> 00:46:30,318
Or them?
801
00:46:50,395 --> 00:46:52,515
I opened a letter
from the Unabomber.
802
00:46:52,546 --> 00:46:54,228
You work at the San Francisco chronicle...
803
00:46:54,229 --> 00:46:56,023
You're the only person who touched this?
804
00:46:56,048 --> 00:46:57,259
I'm just an editorial intern.
805
00:46:57,284 --> 00:46:59,967
I just open letters to the
editor as they come in.
806
00:47:01,196 --> 00:47:02,795
But I-I could have died.
807
00:47:02,796 --> 00:47:04,995
I could have been, like,
blown up or something.
808
00:47:04,995 --> 00:47:07,027
Yeah, but you weren't and
a lot of people might be,
809
00:47:07,028 --> 00:47:08,680
so count your blessings and shut up.
810
00:47:08,758 --> 00:47:10,824
- What do you got?
- Chief, you ready?
811
00:47:10,825 --> 00:47:12,846
It's bad. "Warning...
812
00:47:12,966 --> 00:47:15,657
"The terrorist group FC",
called 'Unabomber' by the FBI,
813
00:47:15,658 --> 00:47:17,590
is planning to blow
up an airliner out of
814
00:47:17,591 --> 00:47:19,425
Los Angeles International Airport
815
00:47:19,545 --> 00:47:21,724
sometime during the next six days.
816
00:47:21,725 --> 00:47:24,428
To prove that the writer of
this letters knows something
817
00:47:24,453 --> 00:47:28,204
about FC, the first two digits
of their identifying number
818
00:47:28,229 --> 00:47:30,242
"are 55."
Is that number a match?
819
00:47:30,278 --> 00:47:31,956
What's the number he sent The Times?
820
00:47:33,691 --> 00:47:36,608
What's the authentication
number FC sent The Times?
821
00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:42,379
553254394.
822
00:47:44,201 --> 00:47:45,547
It's him.
823
00:47:45,958 --> 00:47:48,380
Trisha, get Director Freeh on the phone,
824
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:51,324
L.A.P.D. Commissioner, FAA,
and alert Janet Reno's Office,
825
00:47:51,325 --> 00:47:53,027
and make it clear we have
826
00:47:53,045 --> 00:47:55,075
a potential mass-casualty situation.
827
00:47:55,256 --> 00:47:57,888
When a letter arrived at
a San Francisco newspaper
828
00:47:57,889 --> 00:47:59,922
threatening to blow up an airliner...
829
00:47:59,923 --> 00:48:02,855
They say it bears all the
marks of the Unabomber.
830
00:48:02,856 --> 00:48:05,588
Federal officials believe
the sender is the terrorist
831
00:48:05,589 --> 00:48:07,322
who has been sending bombs...
832
00:48:07,323 --> 00:48:09,722
The Unabomber appears
to be ready to strike again.
833
00:48:09,723 --> 00:48:12,222
This time the threatened
target is a jetliner
834
00:48:12,223 --> 00:48:13,888
flying out of Los Angeles.
835
00:48:13,889 --> 00:48:17,622
Frederick Benjamin Isaac Wood, FBI Wood.
836
00:48:17,623 --> 00:48:19,188
Uh-huh, but those were planes
with depleted fuel tanks.
837
00:48:19,189 --> 00:48:20,722
- Return address 549...
- Here we're talking about
838
00:48:20,723 --> 00:48:22,755
fully fueled jetliners
within a shrapnel radius
839
00:48:22,756 --> 00:48:25,188
of an explosive device of
unknown size and power.
840
00:48:25,189 --> 00:48:27,903
How much fuel is in a 747
that's about to take off?
841
00:48:28,023 --> 00:48:31,312
Phil, now tell me where we are
on refraction beam scanners.
842
00:48:31,432 --> 00:48:34,659
- Uh-huh. right. So now you see...
- No, it's got to be mobile.
843
00:48:34,779 --> 00:48:37,136
You can't bring items into
the airport to be scanned.
844
00:48:37,161 --> 00:48:38,388
Jesus, Phil.
845
00:48:38,389 --> 00:48:40,422
You got to do it on the runway.
846
00:48:40,423 --> 00:48:42,288
We got to just do it plane by plane.
847
00:48:42,289 --> 00:48:43,988
- Unbelievable.
- Okay, two-one breach...
848
00:48:43,989 --> 00:48:46,488
Lucas. hey, can I... can
I borrow your pen, please?
849
00:48:46,489 --> 00:48:48,871
- Thank you.
- Two, one, three.
850
00:48:51,612 --> 00:48:53,378
So, you can read it.
851
00:48:53,886 --> 00:48:54,903
Yeah.
852
00:48:55,410 --> 00:48:56,502
What is this?
853
00:48:56,526 --> 00:48:57,842
The forensic report.
854
00:48:57,866 --> 00:48:59,721
300 pages that say we found nothing.
855
00:48:59,746 --> 00:49:02,190
I don't want the report.
The document, his document, his manifesto.
856
00:49:02,215 --> 00:49:04,227
Yeah, over there.
No one else wanted one.
857
00:49:04,251 --> 00:49:05,229
What?
858
00:49:05,253 --> 00:49:08,115
Well you're talking about 3 different
dossiers and I don't have them.
859
00:49:10,146 --> 00:49:11,411
Hold on a second.
860
00:49:12,090 --> 00:49:14,761
For 17 years, the Unabomber
has been trying to say something
861
00:49:14,785 --> 00:49:16,403
with these bombs, trying
to send us a message,
862
00:49:16,427 --> 00:49:18,899
and now he lays it out,
everything he's been trying to tell us,
863
00:49:18,924 --> 00:49:21,248
and you don't
want to take the time to read it?
864
00:49:21,272 --> 00:49:24,042
We're dealing with a major
airport shutdown here,
865
00:49:24,535 --> 00:49:28,065
so write up a three-page
synopsis, clean, no typos,
866
00:49:28,112 --> 00:49:29,528
and we'll give it a look.
867
00:49:30,170 --> 00:49:31,553
Yep. All right.
868
00:49:32,108 --> 00:49:34,182
We're at about 30%, but it looks like
869
00:49:34,183 --> 00:49:37,116
all the big databases
are up and searchable.
870
00:49:39,014 --> 00:49:41,223
IRS, USPS...
871
00:49:42,217 --> 00:49:43,716
Social security?
872
00:49:54,708 --> 00:49:56,554
_
873
00:49:56,579 --> 00:49:58,519
_
874
00:49:59,593 --> 00:50:02,165
FC's authentication
number looks a lot like
875
00:50:02,166 --> 00:50:04,983
a social security number. So I did a search.
876
00:50:05,587 --> 00:50:06,798
It's a match.
877
00:50:07,340 --> 00:50:09,565
The number belongs to
a guy named Alan Meeks.
878
00:50:09,832 --> 00:50:11,556
40-year-old white male.
879
00:50:12,098 --> 00:50:14,386
Then I crunched the USPS data.
880
00:50:15,062 --> 00:50:17,812
Look where Meeks has been
living for the past 30 years.
881
00:50:18,118 --> 00:50:21,019
Oakland, San Francisco,
882
00:50:21,272 --> 00:50:23,331
Salt Lake City, Sacramento.
883
00:50:23,911 --> 00:50:27,283
It's all the key locations
associated with Unabom activity.
884
00:50:28,253 --> 00:50:30,944
- Where is he now?
- He's already in custody.
885
00:50:31,343 --> 00:50:33,642
They arrested Meeks right here.
886
00:50:34,014 --> 00:50:35,600
Recognize the place?
887
00:50:36,566 --> 00:50:38,758
Yeah, Rentech... it's the site
of the Hugh Scrutton bomb.
888
00:50:39,116 --> 00:50:40,689
The Unabomber's first kill
889
00:50:41,232 --> 00:50:43,053
returning to the scene of the crime.
890
00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:45,531
They're getting Meeks ready
for interrogation right now,
891
00:50:45,532 --> 00:50:47,706
and I got to know if
Meeks is the Unabomber.
892
00:50:48,432 --> 00:50:50,389
What was he looking for here?
893
00:50:59,799 --> 00:51:02,236
Why'd you come back? Why this place?
894
00:51:02,366 --> 00:51:04,265
Computer rental store.
895
00:51:04,266 --> 00:51:06,287
Computers. Technology.
896
00:51:06,397 --> 00:51:08,773
What did these people symbolize to you?
897
00:51:16,366 --> 00:51:19,712
You got to work early, you
didn't expect them to be there.
898
00:51:19,832 --> 00:51:22,100
10 seconds, 20 seconds...
That's all you needed.
899
00:51:28,566 --> 00:51:31,591
But she looked, and suddenly the
Unabomber was flesh and blood.
900
00:51:34,366 --> 00:51:38,031
A man, not a concept, and that's
why this scared you so much.
901
00:51:38,032 --> 00:51:40,081
That's why you stopped for six years...
902
00:51:40,466 --> 00:51:41,531
Hey, Hugh?
903
00:51:46,032 --> 00:51:48,398
Phyllis, do you have that invoice
904
00:51:48,399 --> 00:51:50,554
from Phoenix Games and Hobbies?
905
00:51:50,866 --> 00:51:53,538
I'm trying to get this stuff
out the door before we open.
906
00:51:54,099 --> 00:51:55,175
Phyllis?
907
00:51:55,911 --> 00:51:57,647
Are you in the bathroom?
908
00:52:07,932 --> 00:52:11,445
... Even though it
felt good to finally succeed.
909
00:52:26,132 --> 00:52:28,936
He was reliving it, savoring it.
910
00:52:28,961 --> 00:52:31,547
Which he never got to do in
'85 because of the eyewitness.
911
00:52:35,176 --> 00:52:37,846
Meeks is ready! Let's get over there.
912
00:52:37,966 --> 00:52:39,600
This could really be him.
913
00:52:41,055 --> 00:52:43,612
"Pure Wood." Read 'em and weep, Fitzy.
914
00:52:43,878 --> 00:52:45,491
That's the Unabomber.
915
00:52:45,912 --> 00:52:47,562
T-h-e-n.
916
00:52:47,812 --> 00:52:49,211
Thicker than water.
917
00:52:49,677 --> 00:52:51,011
It's not him.
918
00:52:51,012 --> 00:52:52,944
It's a spelling mistake. So what?
919
00:52:52,945 --> 00:52:54,744
You get drunk, you get a tattoo...
920
00:52:54,745 --> 00:52:57,392
I don't remember seeing a spelling
mistake in all those letters.
921
00:52:57,512 --> 00:53:00,111
Does this guy look like
the author of a manifesto
922
00:53:00,112 --> 00:53:02,677
entitled "industrial
society and its future"?
923
00:53:03,022 --> 00:53:04,696
He sure does to me.
924
00:53:06,909 --> 00:53:10,503
- I definitely didn't mean to kill anyone.
That's for damn sure.
925
00:53:11,191 --> 00:53:13,527
So tell me how to stop LAX.
926
00:53:13,552 --> 00:53:15,075
What's LAX?
927
00:53:15,113 --> 00:53:16,846
If you make this hard for me...
928
00:53:16,847 --> 00:53:18,246
- I didn't mean to kill anybody.
- ... I will make your life
929
00:53:18,247 --> 00:53:20,112
- a living nightmare.
- I can't take back what I did,
930
00:53:20,113 --> 00:53:22,246
and I'll live with this
the rest of my life.
931
00:53:22,247 --> 00:53:24,202
I paid my debts to society.
932
00:53:26,740 --> 00:53:27,799
Wait.
933
00:53:29,037 --> 00:53:32,302
- Excuse me?
- Eight years, Iowa State Pen.
934
00:53:33,358 --> 00:53:36,458
I came out a changed man.
I learned my lesson.
935
00:53:36,578 --> 00:53:39,530
I never drove drunk again.
Not once, I swear.
936
00:53:45,110 --> 00:53:47,750
Meeks was in jail half the time
the Unabomber was active.
937
00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:50,598
- How come that wasn't in my file?
- We pulled everything we could...
938
00:53:50,599 --> 00:53:52,792
Cali, Federal. You're
telling me you don't have
939
00:53:52,912 --> 00:53:55,590
Iowa Bureau of prisons
records in your MPP?
940
00:53:57,178 --> 00:54:00,999
- Didn't we do this before?
- It's just for our files.
941
00:54:05,967 --> 00:54:07,002
Here.
942
00:54:08,996 --> 00:54:10,083
What's "Pure Wood"?
943
00:54:10,108 --> 00:54:11,945
Pure area in Peckerwood.
944
00:54:12,418 --> 00:54:14,899
Their ain't no jungle-bunny
blood in these veins.
945
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:16,411
Right.
946
00:54:16,812 --> 00:54:18,644
She's thicker than water, right?
947
00:54:18,645 --> 00:54:20,311
Thicker than what?
948
00:54:20,312 --> 00:54:21,485
Thicker than water.
949
00:54:21,696 --> 00:54:22,719
"Wudder"?
950
00:54:23,145 --> 00:54:25,126
Well, where the hell you from?
951
00:54:25,312 --> 00:54:28,512
And who talks like that?
Y'all here that... "Wudder"?
952
00:54:28,845 --> 00:54:29,914
Christ.
953
00:54:33,258 --> 00:54:34,406
Fitz, let's go.
954
00:54:35,578 --> 00:54:37,559
The extraordinary precautions come
955
00:54:37,679 --> 00:54:40,044
because a letter was mailed
to the San Francisco newspaper
956
00:54:40,045 --> 00:54:42,544
from a man the FBI
calls "the Unabomber."
957
00:54:42,545 --> 00:54:45,177
Anything?
958
00:54:45,178 --> 00:54:47,955
- Wudder under the bridge.
- Damn. You heard that, too?
959
00:54:48,845 --> 00:54:50,444
What Fitz has with his hoagie.
960
00:54:50,445 --> 00:54:52,677
Wudder?
961
00:54:52,977 --> 00:54:54,877
Tabster, stone cold.
962
00:54:54,878 --> 00:54:56,839
- Come on. Philly.
- Fitz,
963
00:54:56,959 --> 00:54:58,808
- Burkhardt, conference room.
- I've never heard you say pierogi,
964
00:54:58,928 --> 00:55:00,434
but you do say wudder.
965
00:55:00,554 --> 00:55:02,544
Water. Water.
966
00:55:02,545 --> 00:55:04,871
I like wudder. It's part of who you are.
967
00:55:05,212 --> 00:55:07,934
So, one word, one tiny slip, and
you think you know who I am?
968
00:55:09,245 --> 00:55:10,823
Are you seriously pissed off?
969
00:55:11,845 --> 00:55:12,980
About what?
970
00:55:14,128 --> 00:55:16,436
I said one word slightly wrong,
and you can all peg me
971
00:55:16,557 --> 00:55:17,955
as the Philly street
cop out of his depth.
972
00:55:18,463 --> 00:55:19,863
Fitz! Now!
973
00:55:22,963 --> 00:55:24,893
Dude! Are you serious?
974
00:55:27,322 --> 00:55:29,621
New Unabom letter sent to The Times.
975
00:55:29,622 --> 00:55:32,230
- What?
- New York is faxing it through.
976
00:55:32,642 --> 00:55:34,189
Jesus! Greg, I got to go!
977
00:55:36,255 --> 00:55:37,666
Look at page 3.
978
00:55:45,522 --> 00:55:47,563
Is this guy jerking us around or what?
979
00:55:47,822 --> 00:55:49,821
"Since the public has a short memory,
980
00:55:49,822 --> 00:55:52,578
"we decided to play one last 'prank'
981
00:55:52,755 --> 00:55:54,687
"to remind them who we are.
982
00:55:55,118 --> 00:55:58,221
"But no, we haven't
tried to plant a bomb
983
00:55:58,222 --> 00:56:00,548
"on an airliner recently."
984
00:56:00,922 --> 00:56:03,005
Recently is in parentheses.
985
00:56:03,255 --> 00:56:04,458
He says it's a prank.
986
00:56:05,755 --> 00:56:07,865
Yes, Sir. One last prank.
987
00:56:08,102 --> 00:56:09,763
and we're certain it's from the Unabomber?
988
00:56:11,692 --> 00:56:13,087
It's been authenticated, Sir.
989
00:56:13,088 --> 00:56:15,774
It is definitely from the Unabomber.
990
00:56:16,586 --> 00:56:18,707
And we will get you our recommendation.
991
00:56:18,827 --> 00:56:20,648
What if he's just trying
to get our guard down?
992
00:56:20,922 --> 00:56:22,354
He's got a bomb in one of those planes,
993
00:56:22,355 --> 00:56:24,991
just waiting for us to clear them
for takeoff, and then boom.
994
00:56:25,255 --> 00:56:27,221
We get another Lockerbie
on my watch because
995
00:56:27,222 --> 00:56:28,999
I took a serial bomber at his word.
996
00:56:29,955 --> 00:56:32,854
Personally, I think this
whole manifesto thing
997
00:56:32,855 --> 00:56:34,168
could be a red herring.
998
00:56:34,218 --> 00:56:35,929
We're dealing with a dummy here,
999
00:56:36,026 --> 00:56:38,392
an airline mechanic with a G.E.D., Max.
1000
00:56:38,393 --> 00:56:41,925
So, who's to say he didn't
retype somebody else's essay
1001
00:56:41,926 --> 00:56:44,958
to throw us off the scent,
to draw us down blind alleys,
1002
00:56:44,959 --> 00:56:47,892
to keep us away from the
real leads in the real world...
1003
00:56:47,893 --> 00:56:49,058
Forensics.
1004
00:56:49,059 --> 00:56:51,525
Sir, now that the manifesto
has cleared forensics,
1005
00:56:51,526 --> 00:56:53,858
I think it's imperative that our
agents read this document.
1006
00:56:53,859 --> 00:56:55,017
Okay, stop.
1007
00:56:56,084 --> 00:56:57,458
The Unabomber has threatened
1008
00:56:57,459 --> 00:56:59,858
to blow an airplane out of the sky.
1009
00:56:59,859 --> 00:57:03,725
I've got four Senators and
Janet Reno on my call sheet,
1010
00:57:03,726 --> 00:57:06,015
asking me whether
to believe this letter,
1011
00:57:06,135 --> 00:57:09,237
where he says he's going to kill
a few hundred innocent people,
1012
00:57:09,357 --> 00:57:12,336
or this one, where he says
the bomb threat is just a prank.
1013
00:57:13,032 --> 00:57:14,701
So, I'm not reading anything else.
1014
00:57:14,702 --> 00:57:16,934
I'm reading this and trying to decide
1015
00:57:16,935 --> 00:57:19,368
whether LAX can reopen for business.
1016
00:57:19,369 --> 00:57:21,501
And if I make the wrong call,
1017
00:57:21,502 --> 00:57:23,768
a few hundred people are
gonna be blown out of the sky.
1018
00:57:23,769 --> 00:57:26,401
So give me a profile
that answers that question.
1019
00:57:26,402 --> 00:57:29,468
If not, that's a stack of papers.
1020
00:57:29,832 --> 00:57:31,286
These are human lives.
1021
00:57:32,102 --> 00:57:33,087
Got it?
1022
00:57:33,302 --> 00:57:35,747
Okay. What do we got?
1023
00:57:40,502 --> 00:57:43,634
Dude, have you read this?
In the manifesto? Listen.
1024
00:57:43,635 --> 00:57:47,034
"In modern society, all that's
required of you is obedience."
1025
00:57:47,035 --> 00:57:48,668
Isn't that exactly what Cole said?
1026
00:57:48,669 --> 00:57:50,968
The manifesto has to wait.
There are lives at stake.
1027
00:57:50,969 --> 00:57:53,618
The Unabomber and his bomb threat prank.
1028
00:57:53,738 --> 00:57:54,956
Which one's the truth?
1029
00:57:58,335 --> 00:57:59,880
How could we possibly know that?
1030
00:58:03,828 --> 00:58:06,275
_
1031
00:58:10,055 --> 00:58:11,821
You know, Fitz, whatever
it is you're going through,
1032
00:58:11,822 --> 00:58:14,851
it didn't start two years ago.
It didn't start with this case.
1033
00:58:15,155 --> 00:58:17,559
It happened long before
the Unabom. It must have.
1034
00:58:20,255 --> 00:58:21,273
I know.
1035
00:58:23,255 --> 00:58:25,949
I just don't know when I
started to feel so powerless.
1036
00:58:26,162 --> 00:58:28,254
Hey, we all feel that
way. Everyone does.
1037
00:58:28,255 --> 00:58:30,120
If everybody feels that way,
what do we do about it?
1038
00:58:30,145 --> 00:58:31,144
Nothing.
1039
00:58:32,299 --> 00:58:34,154
We like it.
1040
00:58:34,155 --> 00:58:36,738
We like feeling trapped,
1041
00:58:37,672 --> 00:58:38,773
crushed.
1042
00:58:39,859 --> 00:58:42,588
I guess freedom is far more
terrifying than slavery.
1043
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,321
But there's nothing to do.
1044
00:58:44,495 --> 00:58:47,094
It's life. You suck it up and you live.
1045
00:58:47,322 --> 00:58:49,594
That's not... that's
not life. That's not living.
1046
00:58:49,714 --> 00:58:51,089
That's sleepwalking.
1047
00:58:52,767 --> 00:58:55,293
Watching TV, eating trash,
1048
00:58:55,319 --> 00:58:56,688
working to...
1049
00:58:56,727 --> 00:58:59,065
to become something for someone else.
1050
00:58:59,874 --> 00:59:01,439
And nobody does anything about it.
1051
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,306
Nobody even tries.
Nobody except for Ted.
1052
00:59:03,307 --> 00:59:05,491
Yeah, but, Fitz, he's the Unabomber.
1053
00:59:09,374 --> 00:59:10,537
He's evil.
1054
00:59:14,695 --> 00:59:15,918
Just down here.
1055
00:59:25,638 --> 00:59:27,836
_
1056
00:59:33,932 --> 00:59:35,417
You gonna be okay?
1057
00:59:36,198 --> 00:59:37,569
I don't know.
1058
00:59:40,033 --> 00:59:42,333
I have to go in there
I have to face him.
1059
00:59:50,915 --> 00:59:51,920
Go.
1060
01:00:04,810 --> 01:00:06,626
_
1061
01:00:26,853 --> 01:00:30,913
Is there a bomb on a plane, FC,
or is it a prank?
1062
01:00:40,013 --> 01:00:42,894
Boss needs these
reports clean. No typos.
1063
01:00:43,837 --> 01:00:45,484
Cole wouldn't be happy, FC.
1064
01:01:06,053 --> 01:01:07,722
_
1065
01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:09,174
Excessive soldering.
1066
01:01:20,304 --> 01:01:21,859
This is the original letter.
1067
01:01:21,884 --> 01:01:23,645
Look, he punched
right through the paper,
1068
01:01:23,670 --> 01:01:26,269
not just crossing out his
mistakes... obliterating.
1069
01:01:26,738 --> 01:01:29,437
Profilers talk about
signatures versus M.O.
1070
01:01:29,438 --> 01:01:31,803
M.O. is everything necessary
to complete the crime,
1071
01:01:31,804 --> 01:01:33,533
but signatures are the extras.
1072
01:01:33,663 --> 01:01:35,709
They reveal the
psychology, the character.
1073
01:01:37,004 --> 01:01:38,803
Damn. Like correcting
the hell out of that letter.
1074
01:01:38,804 --> 01:01:39,959
Yeah, that's right.
1075
01:01:40,558 --> 01:01:42,761
But, uh, the Rentech bomb,
1076
01:01:43,307 --> 01:01:46,337
the forensic report says
something about excessive soldering.
1077
01:01:46,338 --> 01:01:48,445
His signature, definitely.
1078
01:01:49,071 --> 01:01:50,399
How do you know that?
1079
01:01:54,105 --> 01:01:55,618
Don't worry. It's just a mock-up.
1080
01:01:55,618 --> 01:01:58,476
But it's the exact copy of the way
that bomb looked before it blew up.
1081
01:01:59,285 --> 01:02:00,525
You built this?
1082
01:02:02,285 --> 01:02:04,400
What's wrong with you?
1083
01:02:04,788 --> 01:02:06,424
You sure you're not the Unabomber?
1084
01:02:08,618 --> 01:02:10,742
And all this as forensic evidence?
1085
01:02:11,527 --> 01:02:12,516
Yes, sir.
1086
01:02:12,751 --> 01:02:14,517
I built this and a few others.
1087
01:02:14,518 --> 01:02:16,391
Bosses thought it was a waste of time,
1088
01:02:16,511 --> 01:02:18,084
but I learned a lot by doing it.
1089
01:02:18,085 --> 01:02:21,731
He carves "FC" on the most
indestructible component of each bomb...
1090
01:02:21,851 --> 01:02:23,998
The part that he's sure
will survive the blast.
1091
01:02:24,031 --> 01:02:25,421
Just to make sure we know it's him.
1092
01:02:26,318 --> 01:02:27,784
Like the excess soldering,
1093
01:02:27,785 --> 01:02:30,098
he just floods all the connections
like he's trying to hide them,
1094
01:02:30,461 --> 01:02:33,217
then there's tons of extra
epoxy all at the joints that
1095
01:02:33,774 --> 01:02:35,163
no one seemed to report.
1096
01:02:35,283 --> 01:02:37,366
Totally unnecessary.
Just slathered it on.
1097
01:02:37,486 --> 01:02:39,156
Signatures. Not M.O.
1098
01:02:40,629 --> 01:02:42,897
He didn't want anyone to see the cracks.
1099
01:02:49,318 --> 01:02:50,684
What's your name again?
1100
01:02:50,685 --> 01:02:51,970
Ernie Esposito.
1101
01:02:54,158 --> 01:02:55,395
Thanks, Ernie.
1102
01:03:09,952 --> 01:03:12,048
This is my analysis on
the LAX bomb threat.
1103
01:03:12,073 --> 01:03:14,342
It's clean, no typos, lots of big words.
1104
01:03:14,438 --> 01:03:16,814
Janet Reno will read it, and
she'll be impressed by you.
1105
01:03:17,328 --> 01:03:18,753
What's the bottom line?
1106
01:03:20,675 --> 01:03:22,328
Well, in my opinion, it's a prank.
1107
01:03:22,984 --> 01:03:24,514
There's no bomb at LAX
1108
01:03:24,844 --> 01:03:27,848
FC cares about his
reputation, his credibility.
1109
01:03:28,276 --> 01:03:30,414
He's ashamed of his mistakes,
and he tries to obliterate them.
1110
01:03:30,415 --> 01:03:32,648
He tries to hide all
the joints in his bombs
1111
01:03:32,649 --> 01:03:34,119
so we don't see the work.
1112
01:03:35,367 --> 01:03:38,180
He's obsessed with presenting
this perfect public image.
1113
01:03:38,180 --> 01:03:40,312
He wants to be seen
as intelligent, as logical,
1114
01:03:40,313 --> 01:03:41,884
as superior. But it's
1115
01:03:42,528 --> 01:03:44,080
a fragile self image,
because he's really just
1116
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,810
afraid that everyone's
gonna see his flaws.
1117
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,636
Now, the bomb threat, that
services his need for power.
1118
01:03:51,083 --> 01:03:53,713
You know, he enjoys making
us squirm, but his reputation,
1119
01:03:53,713 --> 01:03:56,095
that's the most important thing he has.
1120
01:03:56,358 --> 01:03:59,179
And he's not gonna give
us the ammunition to go
1121
01:03:59,180 --> 01:04:01,817
to the press so they can hold up
something that he wrote and say,
1122
01:04:02,193 --> 01:04:04,378
"this guy's untrustworthy, he's a liar,
1123
01:04:04,622 --> 01:04:08,079
"he's a blood-thirsty lunatic
who has no credibility
1124
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:09,794
"and will say anything to kill people."
1125
01:04:10,847 --> 01:04:12,984
It's just all my opinion, but, um,
1126
01:04:13,571 --> 01:04:16,939
you know, I can back it up.
Including the physical evidence,
1127
01:04:17,923 --> 01:04:19,035
I stand by it.
1128
01:04:20,476 --> 01:04:21,929
The thing about Fitz...
1129
01:04:22,049 --> 01:04:25,018
He's no B.S.Er, for better for worse.
1130
01:04:27,115 --> 01:04:29,641
Okay, we're gonna read it
and pass it up the chain.
1131
01:04:30,947 --> 01:04:32,235
Thanks for this.
1132
01:04:32,456 --> 01:04:35,651
This might cross Janet
Reno's desk, so stay close.
1133
01:04:40,161 --> 01:04:42,609
You listen to me, you get a gold star.
1134
01:04:43,158 --> 01:04:44,828
A little obedience is all it takes.
1135
01:04:45,394 --> 01:04:47,660
I think FC says that
in the manifesto, too.
1136
01:04:48,927 --> 01:04:51,273
You can put that in your
three-page summary.
1137
01:04:51,393 --> 01:04:53,541
Leadership tips from the Unabomber.
1138
01:05:05,672 --> 01:05:06,763
Now we dig in.
1139
01:05:09,454 --> 01:05:11,250
He wrote 56 pages,
1140
01:05:11,251 --> 01:05:13,502
laying out his philosophy
of the modern world.
1141
01:05:13,751 --> 01:05:16,845
He called it "industrial
society and its future."
1142
01:05:17,084 --> 01:05:19,192
We call it his "manifesto."
1143
01:05:19,451 --> 01:05:22,316
So, he sends the bombs as messages.
1144
01:05:22,317 --> 01:05:24,393
He's struggling to make himself heard.
1145
01:05:25,210 --> 01:05:26,308
So, what's the message?
1146
01:05:26,951 --> 01:05:29,591
- Technology sucks?
- All right, technology sucks.
1147
01:05:29,616 --> 01:05:31,682
And we are basically screwed.
1148
01:05:32,449 --> 01:05:35,004
The Unabomber just opened
a door into his mind.
1149
01:05:35,029 --> 01:05:36,560
We need to step through it, so...
1150
01:05:37,117 --> 01:05:38,361
Opening line,
1151
01:05:39,198 --> 01:05:41,564
"the industrial revolution
and its consequences
1152
01:05:41,684 --> 01:05:43,921
"have been a disaster
for the human race.
1153
01:05:44,051 --> 01:05:46,583
"Technology was supposed
to set us free, but it doesn't.
1154
01:05:46,584 --> 01:05:49,195
Like the car thing. Cars
were invented, and then,
1155
01:05:49,315 --> 01:05:51,803
we're all suddenly free
to go wherever we want.
1156
01:05:52,251 --> 01:05:55,050
But then, basically, it becomes
mandatory to have a car.
1157
01:05:55,051 --> 01:05:57,131
So, instead of becoming more
free, we've become more limited,
1158
01:05:57,251 --> 01:05:59,365
- more constrained.
- I mean, every city
1159
01:05:59,390 --> 01:06:01,306
in society is all rearranged
1160
01:06:01,426 --> 01:06:03,865
around cars until you
can't even buy food
1161
01:06:03,985 --> 01:06:06,083
without driving somewhere.
I mean, they're forced upon us.
1162
01:06:06,084 --> 01:06:08,576
Yeah, TV seemed harmless, too,
before we flipped it around.
1163
01:06:08,696 --> 01:06:11,664
We put CCTV cameras everywhere
and turned it into a tool to watch us.
1164
01:06:11,784 --> 01:06:14,125
We can't even drive
fast if we're in a hurry
1165
01:06:14,245 --> 01:06:17,042
- or slow if we want to chill out.
- We started in charge.
1166
01:06:18,102 --> 01:06:20,358
Now we're slaves to our own technology.
1167
01:06:21,617 --> 01:06:23,683
"Human beings are being
permanently reduced
1168
01:06:23,684 --> 01:06:25,914
"to engineered products, and mere cogs
1169
01:06:25,939 --> 01:06:28,828
"in the social machine,
deprived of dignity,
1170
01:06:28,854 --> 01:06:30,618
"autonomy, and freedom."
1171
01:06:31,384 --> 01:06:34,480
The only option available
to us is obedience.
1172
01:06:34,817 --> 01:06:37,540
- _
- We're being turned into caged rats,
1173
01:06:37,888 --> 01:06:40,416
distracted from the maze
by the meaningless cheese
1174
01:06:40,417 --> 01:06:44,081
we're running after...
Status, promotion, money,
1175
01:06:44,153 --> 01:06:47,603
nicer cars, bigger houses, more TVs,
1176
01:06:48,244 --> 01:06:50,577
blasted with entertainment,
adjusted with therapy
1177
01:06:50,602 --> 01:06:54,342
and Prozac till you don't
even want to be free anymore.
1178
01:06:55,565 --> 01:06:57,669
Or if you can't be adjusted,
1179
01:06:59,439 --> 01:07:01,847
the psych ward.
1180
01:07:03,565 --> 01:07:04,970
Or prison.
1181
01:07:10,465 --> 01:07:13,522
The only alternative,
the only hope for us,
1182
01:07:14,098 --> 01:07:16,364
the only way to break free...
1183
01:07:18,732 --> 01:07:20,942
... is to blow the whole thing up.
1184
01:07:27,365 --> 01:07:28,873
I'm ready.
1185
01:07:44,098 --> 01:07:45,772
Kaczynski, you ready?
1186
01:07:53,551 --> 01:07:56,097
Ted, as your attorney, I'm
begging you to reconsider this.
1187
01:07:56,217 --> 01:07:58,162
Do not go in there
alone with Fitzgerald.
1188
01:07:59,332 --> 01:08:01,338
It is unthinkably reckless
for the defendant in
1189
01:08:01,458 --> 01:08:04,159
a capital case to, "A," talk
with the arresting agent,
1190
01:08:04,279 --> 01:08:06,382
and "B," do so without counsel present.
1191
01:08:08,798 --> 01:08:10,564
This is a huge risk for you.
1192
01:08:10,565 --> 01:08:13,473
And there's no reason to take it.
Let me come in there with you.
1193
01:08:13,593 --> 01:08:16,164
I'll stay out of the way, just
observe, and be ready to step in.
1194
01:08:19,926 --> 01:08:21,711
I'll be in the next room the whole time.
1195
01:08:21,711 --> 01:08:24,002
All you need to do to end the
interview is to ask for me, okay?
1196
01:08:32,965 --> 01:08:34,806
We need a guilty plea from Ted.
1197
01:08:34,997 --> 01:08:36,270
This is our only shot.
1198
01:08:37,131 --> 01:08:38,398
You're our only shot.
1199
01:08:40,830 --> 01:08:41,903
Right.
1200
01:08:43,997 --> 01:08:45,109
Give us a second.
1201
01:08:55,230 --> 01:08:57,205
We know Ted Kaczynski's the Unabomber,
1202
01:08:57,230 --> 01:08:58,650
but we can't go to trial.
1203
01:08:59,752 --> 01:09:02,595
This case hangs on so many
different technicalities.
1204
01:09:02,619 --> 01:09:05,501
If we go before a jury,
if we roll that dice...
1205
01:09:06,673 --> 01:09:08,906
These are dangerous, uncertain times.
1206
01:09:09,340 --> 01:09:11,762
Look at Waco. Look at O.J.
1207
01:09:12,593 --> 01:09:14,643
Even the Menendez
brothers hung their juries.
1208
01:09:15,307 --> 01:09:17,894
The Unabomber has an IQ of 168.
1209
01:09:18,443 --> 01:09:20,347
Think about that... 168.
1210
01:09:20,631 --> 01:09:22,892
If Ted Kaczynski goes
to trial, he could walk.
1211
01:09:23,097 --> 01:09:24,730
If he walks, he disappears.
1212
01:09:24,731 --> 01:09:26,730
If he disappears, he's back in action.
1213
01:09:26,731 --> 01:09:29,273
Only this time, we'll never find him.
1214
01:09:30,053 --> 01:09:32,580
The guilty plea is the only way
to make sure that doesn't happen.
1215
01:09:34,264 --> 01:09:35,357
Listen, Fitz.
1216
01:09:37,425 --> 01:09:38,545
I think Ted
1217
01:09:39,030 --> 01:09:41,840
asked for you because he
recognized a kindred spirit.
1218
01:09:43,231 --> 01:09:44,402
Play into that.
1219
01:09:44,997 --> 01:09:48,592
Make him feel smart,
understood, sympathized with.
1220
01:09:48,831 --> 01:09:51,116
Build a connection, but stay opaque.
1221
01:09:51,608 --> 01:09:52,863
Don't give him too much.
1222
01:09:52,864 --> 01:09:55,658
He knows you as well
as you know him. Better.
1223
01:09:56,331 --> 01:09:59,263
He's gonna be probing you
for weaknesses all the time,
1224
01:09:59,264 --> 01:10:01,126
looking for anything to go against us.
1225
01:10:05,264 --> 01:10:07,130
Get him talking, build a connection,
1226
01:10:07,131 --> 01:10:09,702
then start to steer him
towards the guilty plea.
1227
01:10:13,088 --> 01:10:14,463
You're trying to help him,
1228
01:10:14,464 --> 01:10:16,296
trying to save him
from the electric chair.
1229
01:10:16,297 --> 01:10:18,596
You're his only
friend, but do it gently.
1230
01:10:18,597 --> 01:10:20,740
Don't spook him, okay?
1231
01:10:21,328 --> 01:10:23,668
Get him there.
1232
01:10:52,491 --> 01:10:53,543
Okay.
1233
01:11:08,878 --> 01:11:10,323
Agent Fitzgerald?
1234
01:11:13,597 --> 01:11:16,747
I am so glad to make
your acquaintance at last.
1235
01:11:24,264 --> 01:11:26,367
When would be a good time for you?
1236
01:11:26,730 --> 01:11:28,796
I already talked to Kim
about taking the days
1237
01:11:28,797 --> 01:11:31,729
Nancy says she can cover for me,
and Mom would watch the boys.
1238
01:11:31,730 --> 01:11:32,838
So,
1239
01:11:33,551 --> 01:11:37,312
just tell me when. But I took it.
1240
01:11:37,432 --> 01:11:39,390
Good to hear it.
1241
01:11:40,013 --> 01:11:41,296
That's great.
1242
01:11:42,371 --> 01:11:43,451
Uh,
1243
01:11:44,432 --> 01:11:46,910
why don't you just call
me back when I won't be
1244
01:11:47,030 --> 01:11:48,826
- just talking to myself.
- Oh, no. No, no. I'm here.
1245
01:11:49,514 --> 01:11:51,192
I'm here. I'm listening. I am.
1246
01:11:52,284 --> 01:11:53,364
It's just,
1247
01:11:54,749 --> 01:11:55,955
you know...
1248
01:11:57,224 --> 01:11:58,399
You know...
1249
01:12:01,767 --> 01:12:03,043
What's going on with you?
1250
01:12:07,924 --> 01:12:09,587
I'm just gonna call you back.
1251
01:12:12,262 --> 01:12:14,285
Okay. Okay, bye.
1252
01:12:37,435 --> 01:12:39,646
Um, that's for today.
1253
01:12:39,671 --> 01:12:41,555
Fitz. Right now.
1254
01:12:46,091 --> 01:12:48,091
We've looked at the FAA reports,
1255
01:12:48,302 --> 01:12:50,504
L.A.P.D and airport briefings,
1256
01:12:51,351 --> 01:12:53,867
read the material S.A.C. Ackerman sent.
1257
01:12:54,406 --> 01:12:55,535
Based on what we've seen,
1258
01:12:55,535 --> 01:12:59,301
A.G.'s office is good to
sign off on reopening LAX.
1259
01:12:59,501 --> 01:13:00,694
How about you, Bill?
1260
01:13:00,719 --> 01:13:02,093
FAA is good with that.
1261
01:13:02,963 --> 01:13:04,626
FBI Director Freeh here.
1262
01:13:04,746 --> 01:13:06,442
I'll confirm that from our end
1263
01:13:06,562 --> 01:13:08,300
and give the green
light to flight control.
1264
01:13:09,105 --> 01:13:10,413
Flight control,
1265
01:13:10,413 --> 01:13:12,981
I see the green light here,
good to reopen runways.
1266
01:13:13,803 --> 01:13:15,314
First plane should be up momentarily.
1267
01:13:15,678 --> 01:13:17,705
Flight control, this is S.A.C. Ackerman,
1268
01:13:17,826 --> 01:13:19,972
permission to stay on the line?
1269
01:13:20,375 --> 01:13:21,648
Affirmative, agent.
1270
01:13:23,025 --> 01:13:25,045
The Unabomb device that almost blew up
1271
01:13:25,165 --> 01:13:28,855
American airlines 444 was
triggered by an altimeter
1272
01:13:29,154 --> 01:13:31,642
set to blow up at 20,000 feet.
1273
01:13:33,927 --> 01:13:36,272
American flight 7 is airborne.
1274
01:13:39,616 --> 01:13:42,023
United 732 airborne.
1275
01:13:44,732 --> 01:13:47,351
TWA one-niner-niner airborne.
1276
01:13:54,964 --> 01:13:57,130
This is American flight 7.
1277
01:13:57,131 --> 01:13:58,671
We are climbing to 15,000 feet.
1278
01:13:58,931 --> 01:14:00,720
Climbing to 20,000.
1279
01:14:00,911 --> 01:14:02,464
Check in uniform 7.
1280
01:14:03,297 --> 01:14:05,074
We're approaching 10,000.
1281
01:14:06,697 --> 01:14:09,329
KLM 206, we're climbing now.
1282
01:14:11,897 --> 01:14:14,830
KLM 206, cruising altitude, over.
1283
01:14:15,431 --> 01:14:17,230
Approaching cruising altitude.
1284
01:14:17,231 --> 01:14:18,996
American flight 7,
1285
01:14:18,997 --> 01:14:22,523
we're at 25,000, reaching
cruising altitude now.
1286
01:14:22,740 --> 01:14:24,677
Approaching cruising altitude, over.
1287
01:14:36,100 --> 01:14:39,266
All clear. All clear.
You hear that, agent?
1288
01:14:39,267 --> 01:14:41,272
Loud and clear.
1289
01:14:41,534 --> 01:14:42,774
Thank God.
1290
01:15:03,557 --> 01:15:06,494
- You made the right call.
- I shouldn't have made any call.
1291
01:15:06,816 --> 01:15:08,133
All those people on the plane,
1292
01:15:08,134 --> 01:15:09,740
and it was based on
what, on some letters?
1293
01:15:10,667 --> 01:15:12,643
It was the right call.
1294
01:15:18,015 --> 01:15:20,147
You really think you can
get something good
1295
01:15:20,267 --> 01:15:22,541
out of this manifesto?
Something worthwhile?
1296
01:15:23,451 --> 01:15:25,170
Yeah. yeah, I think I can.
1297
01:15:26,975 --> 01:15:28,010
Okay.
1298
01:15:28,249 --> 01:15:29,803
I'm giving you an office.
1299
01:15:29,923 --> 01:15:31,906
And a team, if you want it.
1300
01:15:34,518 --> 01:15:36,583
Maybe you'll even read
the manifesto now.
1301
01:15:38,010 --> 01:15:39,820
I will. We all will.
1302
01:15:40,346 --> 01:15:42,084
Actually, I already tried to read it.
1303
01:15:42,324 --> 01:15:43,698
Oh, no, I did.
1304
01:15:43,698 --> 01:15:47,542
But, come on, end notes
and all these dead sentences.
1305
01:15:48,092 --> 01:15:49,529
Who writes like this?
1306
01:15:52,296 --> 01:15:53,729
Who writes like this?
1307
01:15:58,123 --> 01:15:59,812
Fitz?
1308
01:16:21,799 --> 01:16:23,310
Who writes like this?
1309
01:16:33,738 --> 01:16:35,518
_
1310
01:16:35,518 --> 01:16:36,807
When I say "wudder,"
1311
01:16:37,021 --> 01:16:38,646
you learn everything about me.
1312
01:16:39,231 --> 01:16:41,972
One tiny word, one tiny mistake,
1313
01:16:42,636 --> 01:16:45,308
and you can tell I'm from
Philly, blue-collar, local school,
1314
01:16:45,428 --> 01:16:48,196
fan of Dave Schultz. Just
like when you say "bruh,"
1315
01:16:48,444 --> 01:16:50,179
it could only be from
San Francisco, right?
1316
01:16:54,028 --> 01:16:56,195
What if there's a wudder or
1317
01:16:56,220 --> 01:16:58,868
bruh in here, in the manifesto?
1318
01:16:59,897 --> 01:17:02,495
I mean, how do we even
start to look for that?
1319
01:17:05,548 --> 01:17:06,905
I don't know. Read it again.
1320
01:17:07,428 --> 01:17:08,618
And then what?
1321
01:17:10,469 --> 01:17:11,901
Read it again.
1322
01:17:12,223 --> 01:17:13,789
Oh, boy.
1323
01:17:14,390 --> 01:17:16,120
Get some coffee on then, bruh.
1324
01:17:23,597 --> 01:17:25,628
_
1325
01:17:33,661 --> 01:17:35,468
Agent Fitzgerald.
1326
01:17:46,994 --> 01:17:48,777
Long way from Montana.
1327
01:17:48,802 --> 01:17:50,581
Oh, yeah, well,
1328
01:17:52,114 --> 01:17:55,405
most people carry their cage
with them wherever they go.
1329
01:17:55,406 --> 01:17:58,472
At least if I remain
disgusted by this place,
1330
01:17:58,473 --> 01:18:00,087
I know I'm still alive.
1331
01:18:00,373 --> 01:18:01,811
Still free in here.
1332
01:18:02,673 --> 01:18:03,723
So why me?
1333
01:18:04,807 --> 01:18:07,739
Why you? You wrote the
document that put me in here.
1334
01:18:07,740 --> 01:18:09,553
Your linguistic analysis
of the manifesto
1335
01:18:09,673 --> 01:18:11,770
got them the search
warrant, the search warrant
1336
01:18:11,795 --> 01:18:14,536
- got them the evidence...
- The document that put you
1337
01:18:14,561 --> 01:18:17,654
in here you wrote.
1338
01:18:20,351 --> 01:18:21,804
I am becoming very
1339
01:18:21,924 --> 01:18:23,905
well-acquainted with your work.
1340
01:18:23,906 --> 01:18:26,562
It is the product of great imagination.
1341
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,339
What I really appreciate
about you is that most people
1342
01:18:30,340 --> 01:18:33,049
take language for granted, but not you.
1343
01:18:34,673 --> 01:18:37,239
You saw it differently,
and that is the first step
1344
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:40,043
toward becoming free...
A shift in perspective.
1345
01:18:40,646 --> 01:18:43,361
Manifesto, for instance...
1346
01:18:45,073 --> 01:18:46,905
I never liked that moniker.
1347
01:18:46,906 --> 01:18:49,984
It makes it sound like an
unconsidered rant, and
1348
01:18:50,854 --> 01:18:53,472
you and I both appreciate the power
1349
01:18:53,592 --> 01:18:55,472
and specificity of words.
1350
01:18:55,592 --> 01:18:57,479
Manifesto versus article,
1351
01:18:57,599 --> 01:18:59,819
insanity versus enlightenment,
1352
01:19:00,473 --> 01:19:02,338
mental breakdown versus
1353
01:19:02,338 --> 01:19:04,445
unextended leave from active duty.
1354
01:19:05,669 --> 01:19:08,260
You have had a change of life
1355
01:19:09,220 --> 01:19:10,619
circumstance,
1356
01:19:10,619 --> 01:19:13,407
since your work on the
Unabomb case, am I wrong?
1357
01:19:14,159 --> 01:19:16,640
- Yeah, I have.
- Because of what I allegedly wrote?
1358
01:19:17,352 --> 01:19:19,315
- Yeah.
- What was it?
1359
01:19:20,041 --> 01:19:21,656
Just between us.
1360
01:19:22,788 --> 01:19:24,092
When did it all click?
1361
01:19:29,414 --> 01:19:30,465
No?
1362
01:19:31,312 --> 01:19:33,077
Well, for me, uh,
1363
01:19:33,991 --> 01:19:35,815
it all began in Chicago.
1364
01:19:35,935 --> 01:19:38,834
One day, this mockingbird began
singing in the backyard there,
1365
01:19:38,954 --> 01:19:40,662
you know, that puffed-up confidence
1366
01:19:40,782 --> 01:19:42,932
just belting out his song, and
1367
01:19:43,892 --> 01:19:45,501
I began to realize
1368
01:19:45,502 --> 01:19:48,397
that the mockingbird
is singing the car alarm.
1369
01:19:49,197 --> 01:19:51,568
Ba-beep, ba-beep. You know the one?
1370
01:19:51,623 --> 01:19:54,722
Rrr, rrr. And I... I just sat there,
1371
01:19:54,723 --> 01:19:56,789
listening to that poor,
dumb bird for maybe
1372
01:19:56,790 --> 01:19:58,739
an hour straight, thinking,
1373
01:19:59,297 --> 01:20:00,412
"what have we done?"
1374
01:20:00,532 --> 01:20:02,443
How wrong that was, and
1375
01:20:03,276 --> 01:20:04,569
it stuck with me.
1376
01:20:04,642 --> 01:20:07,486
I kept coming back to it,
just trying to figure out
1377
01:20:07,533 --> 01:20:10,701
where in the world we had gone so wrong
1378
01:20:11,132 --> 01:20:13,375
that it had ended up here.
1379
01:20:19,313 --> 01:20:20,925
For me, it was the part about driving.
1380
01:20:23,778 --> 01:20:25,456
Every time I got in the car,
1381
01:20:26,499 --> 01:20:27,631
I thought about it.
1382
01:20:27,809 --> 01:20:30,321
The more I drove,
the more it made sense.
1383
01:20:34,950 --> 01:20:37,393
Like, there was this one night
I was driving home from work,
1384
01:20:37,913 --> 01:20:40,618
and there was nobody on
the street, I mean, nobody.
1385
01:20:41,354 --> 01:20:42,814
And I'm sitting there at a red light,
1386
01:20:43,251 --> 01:20:45,362
just waiting, waiting.
1387
01:20:49,843 --> 01:20:52,868
And there's no cars anywhere.
1388
01:20:55,648 --> 01:20:58,414
But, still, I sat there. I obeyed.
1389
01:21:00,780 --> 01:21:03,412
That's when I realized
it's not about technology,
1390
01:21:03,413 --> 01:21:04,864
it's not about machines.
1391
01:21:05,427 --> 01:21:07,616
It's about what they're doing to us.
1392
01:21:08,343 --> 01:21:10,987
It's about what they're doing to
us. What they do to our hearts,
1393
01:21:11,007 --> 01:21:12,506
'cause our hearts are no longer free.
1394
01:21:12,507 --> 01:21:14,439
- And you wanted to be free.
- Right.
1395
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:16,873
You wanted your human
dignity, your autonomy.
1396
01:21:16,874 --> 01:21:18,730
- Yeah.
- Everybody wants that.
1397
01:21:19,429 --> 01:21:22,023
People want it so badly,
they're dying by the thousands
1398
01:21:22,024 --> 01:21:24,551
every day, just trying to
salvage some of their humanity.
1399
01:21:24,671 --> 01:21:25,942
- Okay...
- Think about this,
1400
01:21:26,290 --> 01:21:28,923
more people have died
from suicide in just the time
1401
01:21:28,924 --> 01:21:31,694
we've been talking than I allegedly
killed in my entire career.
1402
01:21:32,921 --> 01:21:35,189
More people died from anti-depressants,
1403
01:21:35,190 --> 01:21:37,243
plastic surgery, fast food. Why...
1404
01:21:37,363 --> 01:21:39,992
W-why is everybody so terrified of me?
1405
01:21:41,322 --> 01:21:43,267
And ask yourself this question...
1406
01:21:44,324 --> 01:21:47,118
Why are these men in suits so desperate
1407
01:21:47,145 --> 01:21:48,471
to prove that I'm crazy?
1408
01:21:50,557 --> 01:21:51,595
I will tell you.
1409
01:21:52,624 --> 01:21:54,640
It's because they know that I'm right.
1410
01:21:56,487 --> 01:21:57,661
I'm awake.
1411
01:21:58,057 --> 01:21:59,890
- They're asleep.
- Yeah.
1412
01:21:59,891 --> 01:22:02,312
And they're terrified they
might have to wake up, too,
1413
01:22:02,337 --> 01:22:05,061
and turn off their
cellphones and their TVs
1414
01:22:05,157 --> 01:22:07,290
and their video games,
1415
01:22:07,410 --> 01:22:10,133
and face themselves the
way that you and I have.
1416
01:22:12,388 --> 01:22:13,487
You and I?
1417
01:22:13,757 --> 01:22:14,862
You and I.
1418
01:22:15,891 --> 01:22:18,456
Ted, I came here 'cause
I believe in what you wrote.
1419
01:22:18,457 --> 01:22:19,562
Good.
1420
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:23,691
I think you asked me here
'cause you need an ally
1421
01:22:23,691 --> 01:22:25,923
to help save your life, so you
can spread your message
1422
01:22:25,924 --> 01:22:27,176
and change things.
1423
01:22:28,057 --> 01:22:30,532
Really change things. Right?
1424
01:22:30,791 --> 01:22:31,956
Right.
1425
01:22:31,957 --> 01:22:34,292
Now, I've gone through all your
options. I think a guilty plea...
1426
01:22:34,312 --> 01:22:35,247
No.
1427
01:22:36,189 --> 01:22:37,345
No.
1428
01:22:39,391 --> 01:22:41,215
And he was doing so well.
1429
01:22:41,691 --> 01:22:44,423
I can talk about my options
with any one of these
1430
01:22:44,424 --> 01:22:47,166
barbary apes watching
through the cameras.
1431
01:22:48,295 --> 01:22:49,743
But I chose you
1432
01:22:50,750 --> 01:22:54,025
because I thought you were different.
1433
01:22:57,661 --> 01:22:58,703
Next time,
1434
01:22:59,162 --> 01:23:02,178
you might bring me some
writing paper and some stamps.
1435
01:23:02,298 --> 01:23:03,813
They're so stingy in here,
1436
01:23:03,957 --> 01:23:05,974
and I have so much correspondence.
1437
01:23:06,661 --> 01:23:08,994
It's really quite overwhelming.
1438
01:23:11,816 --> 01:23:12,980
Thank you.
1439
01:23:45,220 --> 01:23:47,123
- _
- I do know the Unabomber.
1440
01:23:47,862 --> 01:23:50,356
Be smart, patient...
1441
01:23:51,055 --> 01:23:52,594
extremely precise.
1442
01:23:52,824 --> 01:23:54,040
And he's angry.
1443
01:23:54,501 --> 01:23:56,300
I know him like I know myself.
1444
01:23:57,500 --> 01:24:00,649
No more feelings. No more theories.
Hit him hard with the facts.
1445
01:24:02,150 --> 01:24:06,102
James, do you really not have any idea
why I brought you here?
1446
01:24:08,489 --> 01:24:10,848
We've got 24 hours before this blows up.
1447
01:24:10,873 --> 01:24:12,068
Fitz!
1448
01:24:12,093 --> 01:24:14,664
That's the option
that we're neglecting to mention
1449
01:24:14,689 --> 01:24:17,201
while I get
all this evidence for now.
1450
01:24:17,289 --> 01:24:19,138
And I walk away a free man.
1451
01:24:19,607 --> 01:24:22,382
They both are***
Do you understand me?
1452
01:24:22,865 --> 01:24:25,450
Now I know he's got 10 PhDs
and a 500 IQ...
1453
01:24:25,475 --> 01:24:28,015
but he's still a serial killer, right?
1454
01:24:28,414 --> 01:24:30,756
*** every piece of writing that came in.
1455
01:24:30,780 --> 01:24:32,437
I mean thousands of possibilities
1456
01:24:32,462 --> 01:24:34,168
only knocked on one door.
1457
01:24:34,192 --> 01:24:35,547
F.B.I., freeze!
1458
01:24:35,571 --> 01:24:38,301
You can only study the manifesto
down to the letter
1459
01:24:38,395 --> 01:24:40,394
and the best that you'll ever be
1460
01:24:40,707 --> 01:24:43,278
is a feable imitation of me.
1461
01:24:43,303 --> 01:24:45,779
