[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ BEEPING ]

[ KEYBOARD CLACKING ]

[ DOOR OPENS ]
HEY! WHO'S THERE?

[ RADIO CHATTER ]

I'LL CHECK IN HERE.
YOU CHECK IN THE NEXT ROOM.

NO ONE IN HERE!
I'LL CHECK THE HALLWAY.

[ SHOUTING ]

CHECK THE STAIRWELL!

[ Panting ] COME ON.

NO, NO.

PARKER, YOU DO NOT BRING
AN FBI AGENT INTO OUR BAR.

NO, OUR COVER'S NOT BLOWN.

McSWEETEN STILL THINKS
I'M SPECIAL AGENT HAGEN.

WHO AGREED TO HELP HIM BREAK
INTO PORTLAND FBI LAST NIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

I'M DOING THIS
BECAUSE HE NEEDS US.

SO DO THE VICTIMS OF
OLIVER SCHMIDT'S PONZI SCHEME.

I'VE BEEN PLANNING THAT TAKEDOWN
FOR MONTHS, ALL RIGHT?

I-I-I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR THIS.

NATE, HE'S ABOUT TO LOSE
HIS FATHER.

PLEASE JUST GO TALK TO HIM.

FOR ME.

PANCREATIC CANCER.

DOCTORS SAID WE'RE
OUT OF OPTIONS AND
I COULD TAKE HIM HOME,

SO THAT'S WHAT I DID.

OH, I'M SORRY.

AGENT HAGEN SAYS
YOU'RE A PROFILER

WHO'S HELPED THE FBI
SOLVE IMPOSSIBLE CASES.

I TAKE IT YOU GOT ONE
INVOLVING YOUR FATHER.

MY DAD WAS AN FBI AGENT HERE
IN PORTLAND FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

HE TOOK A LOT OF BAD GUYS
OFF THE STREETS,

BUT NONE OF THAT
IS GONNA END UP IN HIS OBITUARY

BECAUSE OF THE ONE
THAT GOT AWAY.

BEFORE MY FATHER DIES,
HELP ME DO ONE THING FOR HIM.

HELP ME BRING
D.B. COOPER TO JUSTICE.

WAIT.

THE NUMBER-ONE UNSOLVED MYSTERY

IN THE HISTORY
OF AMERICAN CRIME --

THAT'SOUR NEW JOB?

NO, OUR JOB IS TO TAKE DOWN
OLIVER SCHMIDT.

THIS IS JUST A DETOUR.
SOPHIE?

IT'S 1971,
THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

A 727 TAKES OFF FROM PORTLAND
BOUND FOR SEATTLE.

IT IS HIJACKED BY THIS MAN,

A PASSENGER WHO GOES BY THE NAME
OF DAN COOPER.

WAIT. I THOUGHT HIS NAME
WAS D.B.COOPER?

THAT WAS MISHEARD
BY A REPORTER AT THE SCENE,

AND THEN IT WAS REPEATED
UNTIL IT BECAME GOSPEL.

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN
TO INTERRUPT YOUR SWOONING.

GO ON AND SWOON.

HE SHOWS THE STEWARDESS
WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BOMB.

HE DEMANDS $200,000 IN CASH
AND FOUR PARACHUTES.

HE GETS THEM. THEN HE
DOES SOMETHING NO ONE EXPECTS.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE CASCADES,

WHICH IS NEAR
TO WHERE WE ARE NOW,

HE JUMPS, AND HE JUST --
HE DISAPPEARS FOREVER.

SOPHIE, JUST REAL QUICK --

YOU HAD A POSTER OF D.B. OVER
YOUR BED WHEN YOU WAS, LIKE, 15.

-TELL THE TRUTH --
YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU?
-SO WHAT? WHAT IF I DID?

WAIT. LET ME SAVE US
A LITTLE TROUBLE HERE, OKAY?

THE GUY JUMPED
FROM 10,000 FEET, YEAH,

BUT IT WAS SEVEN BELOW ZERO.

HE'S IN A 1971 PARACHUTE.

HE JUMPED IN BAD WEATHER
OVER DENSE WOODS.

HE DIDN'T SURVIVE. CASE CLOSED.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS -- THIS IS
PROBABLY JUST A, YOU KNOW,
A WASTE OF TIME.

WHAT?!

BUT I PROMISED
THAT WE WOULD TRY.

SO, I'M GONNA GO TALK
TO McSWEETEN'S DAD,

AND, HARDISON, YOU'RE GONNA
FOLLOW UP ON THE OLD CASE FILE.

THE OLD CASE FILE
THAT PARKER STOLE?

YEAH.

THE ONE THAT'S, LIKE,
80 VOLUMES LONG?

-[ LAUGHS ]
-DON'T WORRY.
I GOT YOU SOME HELP.

MR. REYNOLDS.

SPECIAL AGENT THOMAS?

YOU CAN CALL ME ALAN.
THIS ISN'T A BUREAU MATTER.

CALL ME STEVE.

I WAS PETER McSWEETEN'S PARTNER
ON THE COOPER CASE.

MM.

WELL, WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING
WITH MR. DALWORTH HERE.

HE'S A PRIVATE CONSULTANT.

WELL...ANYTHING FOR PETER,
BUT, UH,

YOU SHOULD KNOW
THIS WASN'T JUST A CASE FOR ME.

IT WAS PERSONAL.

MY, UM, LATE WIFE
WAS A STEWARDESS ON THE PLANE.

OH. WOW.

WELL, THEN,
YOU'RE THE RIGHT MAN TO ASK.

IT SEEMS EVERYONE
HAS A THEORY ABOUT COOPER.

WHAT'S YOURS?

ABOUT A YEAR
AFTER COOPER VANISHED,

RICHARD McCOY HIJACKS A PLANE
OUT OF DENVER,

GETS CAUGHT,
SENTENCED TO 45 YEARS.

SOME TIME LATER, HE MAKES A GUN
OUT OF DENTAL PASTE

AND BREAKS THROUGH THE
PRISON GATES IN A GARBAGE TRUCK.

DIES IN A GUNFIGHT WITH THE FBI.

THERE'S A FELLA IN FLORIDA,
A DUANE WEBER,

ADMITTED TO BEING COOPER
ON HIS DEATH BED IN 1995.

YOU WANT A THEORY?
TAKE YOUR PICK.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

DAD?
IS IT A GOOD TIME?

[ SIGHS ] THE SIRENS ARE LURING
THE SAILORS TO THEIR DEATH.

LUCKILY, I KNOW HOW IT ENDS.

I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW HOURS.

TALLY HO, SON.

UH...

PETER McSWEETEN.

NICK DALWORTH.

-HAVE A SEAT.
-THANK YOU.

SO, YOU'RE A PROFILER
WHO'S COME TO TAKE A RUN

AT THE COOPER CASE.

IF IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I SPENT 40 YEARS TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND ONE MAN.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO CLIMB
INTO THE MIND

OF A DIFFERENT CRIMINAL
EVERY DAY?

WELL, IF I TOLD YOU I LEFT IT
AT THE OFFICE, I'D BE LYING.

THEN THIS IS A STORY
YOU SHOULD HEAR.

IT BEGAN THE DAY BEFORE
THANKSGIVING, 1971.

[ SIGHS ]

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ON RADIO ]

OH, WHAT'S THAT?

JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING
FOR THE NEW JOB.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL!

THIS IS GONNA BE TOUGH.

SAYING GOODBYE TO THE PEOPLE
YOU CARE ABOUT ALWAYS IS.

-TALLY HO, TODD.
-TALLY HO, DAD.

IT WAS MY FIRST DAY AS CHIEF OF THE SEATTLE OFFICE.

BEFORE I REPORTED THERE,
I HAD TO DO ONE THING --

THANK THE PEOPLE I SERVED WITH
HERE IN PORTLAND.

HAIL, HAIL.
THE CONQUERING HERO RETURNS.

I JUST CAME TO SAY GOODBYE.

YOU WERE A GREAT PARTNER,
REGGIE,

AND YOU GOT A BRIGHT FUTURE
HERE AT THE BUREAU.

ESPECIALLY NOW
THAT YOU'RE MOVING ON.

YOU WAS, UH, KIND OF
PINNING MY WINGS BACK, CHIEF.

-NO OFFENSE.
-NONE TAKEN.

IF I COULD JUST GET EVERYONE'S
ATTENTION FOR -- FOR A SECOND.

[ SIGHS ]

SO, OUR MOTTO IS
"FIDELITY, BRAVERY, INTEGRITY."

AND ALL MY TIME HERE
IN PORTLAND, I MUST SAY

YOU HAVE ALL SHOWN THOSE
QUALITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY,

AND FOR THAT, I THANK YOU.

BUT IF I COULD DO ONE THING
BEFORE I LEAVE,

I'D LIKE TO ADD A WORD
TO THAT SIGN --

"COMPASSION."

NEVER FORGET
TO PUT YOURSELVES

IN THE SHOES
OF THE PEOPLE WE SERVE,

AND NOT JUST THE VICTIMS,
BUT THE PERPETRATORS AS WELL.

THEY'RE ALL
DESERVING OF OUR MERCY.

THANK YOU.

[ APPLAUSE ]

THERE YOU ARE.

-MA'AM, YOUR DRINK.
-THANK YOU.

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]

[ SIGHS ]

HEY, LITTLE LADY,
CAN I GET ANOTHER SCOTCH?

I'M TELLING YOU, LAURIE,

THE SHORTER
THEY MAKE THESE HEMLINES,

THE MORE THESE DRUNKS
THINK WE'RE ON THE MENU.

[ CHUCKLES ]
DON'T KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT.

[ SCOFFS ]
NOT EVEN THISSTOPS THEM!

I WANT COMBAT PAY.

WELL, STEPHANIE,
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

[ LAUGHS ]

WELCOME TO FLIGHT 305.
WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU, SIR?

BOURBON AND WATER, PLEASE.

AND THIS IS FOR YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?
ANOTHER LOVESICK BUSINESSMAN.

NOW, NOW. DON'T BE SO HASTY.

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]

ONCE COOPER HANDED
STEPHANIE RITTER THE NOTE,

SHE BECAME
HIS CONNECTION TO US.

JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
WE KNOW ABOUT HIM,

WE GOT FROM THAT BRAVE WOMAN.

OF COURSE, STEPHANIE
HAD TO OPEN THE NOTE FIRST.

HERE YOU ARE, SIR.

MISS...

YOU REALLY OUGHT TO READ
THE NOTE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ TICKING ]

THE PLANE JUST LANDED.

WE'LL BE AT THE AIRPORT
IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

32 PASSENGERS ON BOARD.
DO THEY KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING?

NO, JUST THE, UH, THE
STEWARDESS, STEPHANIE RITTER,

AND THE TWO-MAN FLIGHT CREW.

AND THE HIJACKER --
WHAT ARE HIS DEMANDS?

$200,000,

A REFUELING TRUCK TO MEET
THE PLANE HERE IN SEATTLE...

MM-HMM.

...AND FOUR PARACHUTES.

FOUR PARACHUTES.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

McSWEETEN, WELCOME TO SEATTLE.

I SEE YOU'VE MET MR. CROWSLEY
FROM THE AIRLINE.

I PRESUME HE'S BROUGHT YOU
UP TO SPEED.

WHILE YOU WERE DELAYED,

I PREPARED
A TACTICAL ASSAULT PLAN.

MY MEN CAN TAKE OUT THE HIJACKER
WITH MINIMAL CASUALTIES.

THAT IS MY RECOMMENDED
COURSE OF ACTION.

WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE THE BOMB'S A FAKE,
THE PLANE IS ON THE GROUND.

IF WE LET HIM TAKE OFF AGAIN,
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

SO, WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS?

WHY ARE ALL THE SHADES DOWN?

WELL, POLICE SNIPERS CAN'T HIT
WHAT THEY CAN'T SEE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

MY STRIKE TEAM IS STANDING BY.

WE WAIT MUCH LONGER,

THERE'S NO TELLING
WHAT THIS GUY MIGHT DO.

RADIO THE PILOT.

AND TELL THE HIJACKER
TO RELEASE ALL THE PASSENGERS,

AND WE'LL GIVE HIM
WHAT HE WANTS.

-ROLL THESE UP.
-YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET HIM

TAKE OFF WITH THE MONEY
AND FOUR PARACHUTES?

AH, THE CHUTES ARE A BLUFF.
HE'S GONNA LAND.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT?

[ CHUCKLES ]

THE SAME WAY
YOU KNOW THE BOMB'S A FAKE.

SORRY I COULDN'T LET YOU
GET OFF WITH THE PASSENGERS.

I NEED SOMEONE TO SPEAK FOR ME.

ARE YOU SCARED?

DO I SEEM CRAZY TO YOU?

[ SIGHS ]

GET ME ANOTHER BOURBON AND WATER
AND, UH, KEEP THE CHANGE.

[ KNOCKING ]

DON'T TRY ANYTHING
OR I'LL SET OFF THE BOMB.

I'M GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF HERE SAFE. I PROMISE.

TELL THE PILOT
WE'RE FLYING TO MEXICO CITY.

HE'S TO FLY NO HIGHER
THAN 10,000 FEET,

FLAPS AT 15 DEGREES.

IF HE FAILS TO COMPLY
WITH ANY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS,

I WILL KNOW,
AND I WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY.

GO.

I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A MISTAKE.

NOW WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO CHASE HIM

-ALL THE WAY DOWN THE COAST --
-RENO.

HE TOLD THE PILOT
TO FLY TO MEXICO CITY.

WELL, HE'S NOT GONNA GET THERE.

NO.

NO, FUEL -- IT BURNS MUCH FASTER
AT LOW ALTITUDE.

BY MY CALCULATIONS, HE'S GONNA
BE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL BY RENO.

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO LAND,

AND THAT'S -- THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE GONNA TAKE HIM.

BASED ON WHAT?

ON MY 55 COMBAT MISSIONS
IN KOREA.

GIVE ME LAS VEGAS FBI.

[ THUNDER RUMBLES ]

[ RADIO CHATTER ]

[ RATTLING ]

WHAT WAS THAT?
[ ALARM BLARING ]

SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE CABIN.

LOOKS LIKE THE AFT DOOR IS OPEN.

DO NOT GO IN THERE!

[ WIND HOWLING ]

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

MORE LIKE THIS?

YEAH, HE HAD SHORT --
SHORT, DARK HAIR.

KIND OF A HIGH --
HIGHER FOREHEAD.

AND THAT WAS THE LAST ANYONE
SAW OF DAN "D.B." COOPER.

AFTER THAT, I WAS TRANSFERRED
BACK TO PORTLAND.

THEY DIDN'T CALL IT A DEMOTION,

BUT EVERYONE KNEW
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ]

MEANWHILE, D.B. COOPER
BECAME AN INSTANT FOLK HERO --

A PUNCH LINE
ON "JOHNNY CARSON."

THEY EVEN WROTE SONGS
ABOUT HIM.

IT'S NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC,

BUT DAMNED IF IT AIN'T
CATCHY AS HELL.

WELCOME BACK.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

AGENT WILKINS.

YEAH.

NOW, TELL IT TO ME.

NOW, SLOW DOWN,
SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

[ BEEP ]

YEAH, UH,
YEAH, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

RECORDS OF A FARM MORTGAGE
HELD BY A DANIEL COOPER.

IT GOT PAID OFF IN 1972.

THE IRS FLAGGED IT,

BUT SINCE AGENCIES
DIDN'T SHARE INFO BACK THEN,

IT WAS NEVER FORWARDED
TO THE FBI.

HERE'S THE BEST PART --
HE WAS ARMY AIRBORNE.

PARATROOPER.

HIS LAST-KNOWN RESIDENCE
IS HERE IN PORTLAND.

Sophie's en route.
I'll keep you posted.

[ BEEP ]

I KNOW THAT FACE.

IT'S COOPER.
HE'S GOT YOUNOW.

OH, WELL, WE'LL SEE.
[ CHUCKLES ] IT'S GETTING DARK.

PETER, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE
A LITTLE BREAK RIGHT --

WHEN IT COMES TO "SKYJACK71,"
I NEVER REST.

I'M GUESSING THAT'S A FEELING
YOU KNOW WELL.

I CAME TO BELIEVE
THAT FINDING D.B. COOPER

WAS THE REASON
I WAS PUT ON THIS EARTH.

EVERYTHING ELSE
FELL BY THE WAYSIDE.

YES, YOUR HONOR, I KNOW WHAT DAY
IT IS, BUT I HAVE A SUSPECT

AND I NEED A SEARCH WARRANT
BEFORE HE FLEES.

NO. I -- I DO NOT HAVE
AN EYEWITNESS I.D.

I -- YEAH, I UNDERSTAND.

THING I--
[ Click, dial tone ]

I-- HELLO?

HELLO? AH!

[ TELEPHONE SLAMS ]

[ SIGHS ]
I GOT TO GO.

PETER, I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE DOING THIS TO US

ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

JOY, THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.

AS LONG AS COOPER
IS FREE AND CELEBRATED,

OTHER MEN, DESPERATE MEN,

ARE GONNA HIJACK PLANES,
AND PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET HURT.

AND YOU THINK
THAT'S YOURFAULT?

I KNOW IT IS.

I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.

DID YOU SEE
YOUR SON'S CHRISTMAS LIST?

[ SIGHS ]

"A BIKE.

D.B. COOPER."

HE KNOWS IT'S WHAT YOU WANT
MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

[ SIGHS ]

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

OH. HI.
AGENT McSWEETEN.

I'M SORRY TO INTRUDE.

IT'S OKAY.
UH, DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

NO. NO, THANK YOU.

I JUST --
I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING,

AND THEN I'LL, UH,
BE ON MY WAY.

WE GOT A TIP THAT THIS FELLA,
HE'S BEEN GOING AROUND
LOCAL BARS

BRAGGING THAT HE'S D.B. COOPER.

I JUST NEED YOU
TO BE POSITIVE.

WAS THIS THE HIJACKER
FROM FLIGHT 305?

MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M SORRY.

HEY. ARE YOU OKAY?

I'M FINE.
I JUST -- IT'S BEEN A LONG YEAR.

[ SIGHS ]

THANK YOU.

MR. McSWEETEN.

OH, UH, THIS IS MY HUSBAND,
STEVE REYNOLDS.

HOW YOU DOING?

LISTEN, I JUST WANTED TO SAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, UH --

WHAT D.B. COOPER
PUT MY WIFE THROUGH --

DON'T EVER GIVE UP.

[ THUNDER CRASHES ]

MAYBE I WILLTAKE THAT COFFEE
THAT YOU OFFERED.

-YEAH.
-YEAH. COME ON IN.

COME ON IN. PLEASE.

WHAT KIND OF WORK
ARE YOU IN, STEVE?

WHATEVER I CAN GET THESE DAYS,
YOU KNOW?

IT'S TOUGH OUT THERE
SINCE THE ARMY SENT ME HOME.

GOING ON...ABOUT THREE YEARS
NEXT MONTH.

-THREE YEARS?
-YEAH.

SO YOU WERE ON
THE TET OFFENSIVE?

I WAS.

I WANTED TO SERVE MY COUNTRY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

NOW YOU GOT CRACK POTS
HIJACKING AIRPLANES,

YOU GOT COLLEGE STUDENTS
CALLING US VETS "BABY KILLERS."

I MEAN, IT JUST --
IT FEELS LIKE --

IT FEELS LIKE THE WORLD IS BEING
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, DOESN'T IT?

YES, IT DOES.

STEVE, WHAT IF I
WERE TO TELL YOU

THAT YOU COULD HELP BRING
D.B. COOPER TO JUSTICE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHAT I MEAN IS,
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A JOB?

...AND THAT I WILL
WELL AND FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE

THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE,
SO HELP ME GOD.

THAT I WILL WELL...

STEVE REYNOLDS
WAS A DECORATED VETERAN,

AND WITH MY SUPPORT,
HE WENT TO QUANTICO

AND WAS SWORN IN
AS A FBI AGENT.

ONE OF THE PERKS
OF UNDERCOVER WORK --

I GOT THEM TO WAIVE
CUTTING YOUR HAIR.

[ LAUGHS ]

UH, FOR MR. HOOVER.

STEVE BECAME MY PARTNER.

I FINALLY HAD AN ALLY

IN MY QUEST
TO BRING D.B. COOPER TO JUSTICE.

HEY, STEVE.

DID YOU EVER THINK THAT
YOU WOULD END UP IN THE FBI?

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL...

AFTER I WENT THROUGH
IN THE WAR?

[ CHUCKLES ]

I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D LIVE THIS LONG.

YOU KNOW, IT'S FAIR TO SAY
THAT THE DAY

THAT PETER McSWEETEN
KNOCKED ON MY DOOR,

HE SAVED MY LIFE.

YEARS WENT BY.
SUSPECTS CAME AND WENT.

THEN WE GOT
OUR FIRST BREAK IN THE CASE.

A FAMILY FOUND CASH
FROM THE COOPER RANSOM

WASHED UP ON A RIVERBANK.

WE WENT TO INVESTIGATE,

AND THAT'S
WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED.

WHAT THE HELL
WE DOING OUT HERE?

WE'RE FOLLOWING THE FIRST
SOLID LEAD WE'VE HAD IN YEARS.

YEAH, RIGHT. PROBABLY HAVE
BETTER LUCK FINDING BIG FOOT.

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME!

MY WIFE STILL HAS NIGHTMARES
ABOUT THAT HIJACKING,
ALL RIGHT?!

-NOW YOU --
-EASY. EASY.

GENTLEMEN.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
TO FIND OUT HERE, HUH?

D.B. COOPER
LIVING IN A LOG CABIN?

HE DIED IN THEM TREES
OR HE WALKED OUT.

EITHER WAY, HE WON.
YOU LOST.

D.B. COOPER IS JUST ANOTHER FILE
FOR THE COLD-CASE ROOM.

SORRY.

HE'S RIGHT.

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, PETE.

[ SIGHS ]

WE MAY NEVER FIND HIM, BUT...

[ SIGHS ]

...WE CAN STILL DO SOME GOOD.

THAT'S WHEN STEVE AND I
TOOK OVER THE COLD-CASE UNIT.

[ FUNK MUSIC PLAYS ]

I JUST WANT TO GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

I HEAR YOU.

FREEZE!

FBI.

NO, NO, NO! D--

STAY DOWN!
STAY DOWN!

GET YOUR HANDS
BEHIND YOUR BACK!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING,
MAN? I DIDN'T DO THE DEAL.

THAT'S NOT HEROIN IN THERE.
IT'S CYANIDE.

WE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST
A DIRTY NARCOTICS DETECTIVE.

TURNS OUT
HE'S ALSO A PSYCHOPATH.

WHOA! HEY!

VIRGIL, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'RE A STICK-UP MAN,
NOT A COP KILLER.

I KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.

IT'S NOT EASY LOSING YOUR HOUSE,
LOSING YOUR JOB.

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO --

HE WASN'T GONNA SHOOT.

WELL, WE GOT THE GUN
THAT HE USED FOR THE STICK-UP.

WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK, VIRGIL?

-WELL...LET'S HAVE A LOOK.
-HUH?

WAS IT A SKI MASK
THAT YOU USED, HUH?

[ MUFFLED SCREAMING ]

IT'S THE CLERK
FROM ROY'S MARKETPLACE --

THE ONE THAT I.D.'d HIM.

COME HERE, SWEETIE.

THERE.

-YOU OKAY?
-YEAH. THANK YOU.

YOU THINK
TOO MUCH OF PEOPLE.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

[ BEEPS ]
YEAH?

NATE, I FOUND DANIEL COOPER.

LOOKS LIKE HE DIED IN 1968,

THREE YEARS
BEFORE THE HIJACKING.

IT'S ANOTHER DEAD END.

COOPER DIED ABROAD -- VIETNAM.

THAT'S WHY HARDISON
DIDN'T FIND A DEATH CERTIFICATE.

ANYWAY, IT WAS THREE YEARS
BEFORE THE HIJACKING.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

[ Speed-dialing ]

YEAH, HARDISON.

What else did you find
in the case file?

IT'S NOT WHAT'S IN HERE.
IT'S WHAT'S MISSING.

THERE'S NO DNA EVIDENCE,
EVEN THOUGH THEY PULLED
HAIRS AND FIBERS

FROM THE HIJACKER'S CLOTHING.

YOU KNOW, I RETIRED BEFORE
THAT STUFF BECAME IMPORTANT,

BUT I KNOW WHERE
IT MUST BE STORED.

THE CRIME LAB.

DNA file's secure.
On my way.

COPY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

LOOK AT ALL THIS STUFF.

I asked the Bureau
for a desk lamp six months ago.

IS THAT A CROSSBOW?
[ VEHICLE DOOR OPENS ]

HERE!

COME ON!

LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO!

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

PETER,
ANY REGRETS ABOUT THE CASE?

JUST ONE.

MY BOY, TODD, HAD A HARD TIME

GROWING UP
IN THE SHADOW OF D.B. COOPER.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
McSWEETEN.

THANK YOU.

MICHAEL NOVAK'S HERE.

EIGHT YEARS AFTER THE HIJACKING,

AND NOW THIS KID THINKS THEY GOT
THE COMPOSITE SKETCH WRONG?

WELL, HIM,
HE WAS ON THE PLANE,

AND HE SWEARS THAT COOPER LOOKED
DIFFERENT THAN IN THE SKETCH.

COME ON. WE HAVE TO --

FOLLOW EVERY LEAD.
ALL RIGHT.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

McSWEETEN.

TODD?

TALLY HO, SON.

WHERE -- WHERE ARE YOU?

YEAH, OKAY.
I'LL BE -- I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I --

GO. GO.
I GOT THE NOVAK INTERVIEW.

[ CAR HORN HONKS ]

WHAT HAPPENED?

A BUNCH OF KIDS SAID

THEY NEEDED TO BORROW MY BIKE
TO LOOK FOR A LOST DOG.

THEY SAID THEY'D BE RIGHT BACK.

WHEN WAS THAT?

THREE HOURS AGO.

WHY DOES THIS
KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?

[ SIGHS ]

EVERY DAY, I GO AND CHASE
BAD GUYS -- SOME REALLY BAD.

AND PRETTY SOON, YOU START
TO SEE EVERYONE LIKE THAT.

IT'S EASIER THAT WAY.

YOU COULD --
YOU COULD BE LIKE THAT, TOO.

YOU WOULDN'T LOSE AS MANY BIKES.

BUT I WON'T FIND ANY LOST DOGS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S NOT A WEAKNESS TO SEE
THE GOOD IN PEOPLE, ALL RIGHT?

IT'S NOT A -- A FLAW
OR A BAD THING TO -- TO TRUST.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH,
TODD?

YOU'RE THE BEST GUY I KNOW.

GET IN.

I STILL BELIEVE THAT.

THE PEOPLE I ARRESTED --
THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS TO ME.

SOMETHING DROVE THEM
TO CROSS THE LINE,

BUT I ALWAYS BELIEVED
THAT THEY COULD BE REDEEMED,

EVEN COOPER.

WOW.

DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT?

NO. NO.

I WISH I DID.

THEN YOU CAN SEE
WHY I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY SON.

SURE.

YOU'RE AFRAID OF WHAT THE HUNT
FOR COOPER MIGHT DO TO HIM.

I TRIED TO STOP HIM,
BUT I SUPPOSE

A SON WILL ALWAYS TRY TO AVENGE
HIS FATHER'S DEFEATS.

LIKE TELEMACHUS AND ODYSSEUS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIND
D.B. COOPER.

HE'S...LOST SOMEWHERE
IN THE DARKNESS.

JUST...

JUST MAKE SURE MY SON
DOESN'T FOLLOW HIM THERE.

WELL, IT'S GETTING LATE.

UNTIL TOMORROW.

I'LL BE HERE.

THANK YOU.

YEP.

HEY. WHAT'S IN THE DNA FILE?

THE DNA NEVER MADE IT
TO THE MAIN CASE FILE

BECAUSE IT WAS CONTAMINATED
BY THE INVESTIGATING TEAM.

EVERYBODY'S DNA IS IN THERE --

COOPER'S, REYNOLDS',
McSWEETEN'S, THE LAB TECHS'.

YEAH, I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
SOMETIMES WITH OLD CASES

WHEN THEY PREDATE
MODERN FORENSICS.

SO, WHAT?
BACK TO SQUARE ONE?

NO, I PREFER
"BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD."

IT'S MORE HOPEFUL.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

IT'S McSWEETEN.

HI.

HEY --

YEAH. I'M SORRY.

OKAY.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HIS DAD DIED LAST NIGHT.

[ SIGHS ]

WE SHOULD BE DRINKING COFFEE.

DAD LOVED HIS COFFEE.
[ CHUCKLES ]

YEAH. HE'D LET IT GET ICE COLD
AND TOP IT OFF ALL DAY LONG.

[ LAUGHS ]
DROVE ME CRAZY.

WHAT ELSE
DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT HIM?

WELL, HE WAS A HELL OF A SHOT.

YEAH, BUT A TERRIBLE DRIVER.
[ CHUCKLES ]

[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'S TRUE.

ONE TIME,
WE'RE IN THIS HIGH-SPEED CHASE,

AND HE PLOWS US RIGHT
INTO THIS RESTAURANT DUMPSTER.

POW!

WHAT A MESS!

SO WE GET OUT OF THE CAR,
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE,

AND THIS GIRL
COMES RUNNING UP TO US

AND SAYS SOMEBODY ATTACKED HER
AND THAT MAYBE

SHE THOUGHT HE WAS THE C.I.A.
OR ONE OF THE RUSSIANS.

SHE'S TRIPPING ON ACID.
SHE'S A RUNAWAY.

SO I'M READY TO HAND HER OVER
TO THE PARAMEDICS.

PETER'S GOT HER
IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR.

"TAKE US TO HIM,"
HE TELLS HER.

WE FOUND THE GUY!
HE'S IN THE BUS STATION!

AND THE NEXT DAY,
HE TAKES US TO THE WOODS

WHERE HE'S BURIED
THREE OTHER RUNAWAYS.

I SAY TO PETER,

"HEY. THIS GIRL, SHE WAS --
SHE WAS STRUNG OUT.

SHE WAS RANTING.

I MEAN, HOW DID YOU KNOW?"

HE SAID, "ALL I HEARD...
WAS THAT SHE WAS AFRAID."

MM.

SO, HERE'S TO PETER McSWEETEN,

WHO COULDN'T DRIVE A LICK.

[ SIGHS ]

I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR TRYING.

FROM NOW ON, THE HUNT
FOR D.B. COOPER IS ON ME.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WORKING.

YOU HEAR WHAT McSWEETEN SAID
BACK THERE?

THIS WAS GONNA BE HIS FIGHT NOW?

I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.

MICHAEL NOVAK WAS A 10-YEAR-OLD
PASSENGER ON THE PLANE

WHEN HE TOLD STEVE REYNOLDS
THAT D.B. COOPER

LOOKED DIFFERENT
THAN THE SKETCH.

YEAH, BUT HE ONLY REMEMBERED
AFTER EIGHT YEARS.

AND HE SAW HIM FOR ALL OF,
WHAT, 10 SECONDS?

THE STEWARDESS --
SHE WAS ON THE FLIGHT,

SITTING NEXT TO HIM
FOR FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT.

SHE STUDIED
EVERY INCH OF HIS FACE.

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THIS CASE?

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THIS CASE?

I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE A SUSPECT.

WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF SUSPECTS.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF HE SURVIVED THE JUMP, RIGHT?

THE ONLY THING
THAT WE HAVE FOR CERTAIN --

WE HAVE THIS SKETCH.

THIS SKETCH THAT WAS PROVIDED
BY THE STEWARDESS'S DESCRIPTION.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING
THAT NO ONE HAS EVER QUESTIONED.

WHERE WAS THE STEWARDESS SITTING
WHEN THE FBI INTERVIEWED HER?

ON THE PLANE. WHY?

AND WHAT WAS
THE IN-FLIGHT MAGAZINE?

"SKY CLASS."

SHOW ME THE BACK COVER.

ENLARGE.

SKETCH.

NOW, WHY WOULD SHE LIE?

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

-NICK! HEY!
-STEVE.

HEY, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.

COME ON IN.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,

AND I JUST HAD A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CASE

I WANTED TO RUN BY YOU.

I HOPE IT'S ALL RIGHT.

YEAH.

OH, HERE'S...STEPHANIE?

WOW.

SHE SURE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

YEAH. MISS HER EVERY DAY.

SHE'S BEEN GONE 10 YEARS NOW.

10 YEARS NOW?

[ TEA KETTLE WHISTLES ]

AH. JUST MAKING SOME TEA.
EXCUSE ME.

YOU AND HER
GOT MARRIED IN 1972, RIGHT?

[ WHISTLING CONTINUES ]

UNCLE STEVE?

[ TEA KETTLE WHISTLING ]

NOW WHY DON'T YOU TELL US
THE REAL STORY OF D.B. COOPER?

I'VE BEEN CARRYING THIS AROUND
WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME.

WELCOME TO FLIGHT 305.
WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU, SIR?

I BELIEVE I'LL HAVE
A BOURBON AND WATER, PLEASE.

AND THIS IS FOR YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

ARE YOU SCARED?

DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY?

WHAT ABOUT NOW?

I'M NOT DOING THIS
'CAUSE I WANT TO.

I'M DOING IT
BECAUSE I MADE A PROMISE.

TO WHO?

[ METAL JINGLING ]

P.F.C. DANIEL COOPER.

I HELD HIS HAND WHEN HE DIED.

AND I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS GONNA
TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY,

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE.

THIS -- THIS RING?

IT'S JUST FOR SHOW
TO KEEP THE DRUNKS AWAY.

BUT I WANT TO GET MARRIED,
AND I WANT TO HAVE KIDS.

HEY. I'M NOT GONNA HURT YOU.

OR ANYONE.

DO YOU BELIEVE ME?

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

I THINK I'LL HAVE
ANOTHER BOURBON AND WATER.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

[ KNOCKING ]
HEY.

LET'S SEE.

YOU TELL THEM
IF THEY TRY ANYTHING,

I WILL SET THIS BOMB OFF.

TELL THEM.

[ RADIO CHATTER ]

[ RATTLING ]

WHAT WAS THAT?
[ ALARM BLARING ]

SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE CABIN.

LOOKS LIKE THE AFT DOOR IS OPEN.

[ SIGHS ]

DO NOT GO IN THERE!

[ WIND HOWLING ]

DON'T!

STAY BACK!

YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT!

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
TO FIND OUT!

LOOK, MAYBE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
YOU INSTEAD OF YOUR FRIEND.

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER!
[ SCREAMS ]

DON'T DO THIS.

WHY DO YOU CARE?

I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON.

I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN.

I PROMISE.

[ THUNDER CRASHING ]

AND I KEEP MY PROMISES.

NO!

[ WATER RUNNING ]

[ WATER STOPS ]

[ CLANK ]

[ THUD ]

-HI.
-HI.

[ CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYS ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

-I WONDER IF SANTA'S
IN THE AIR YET.
-MAYBE.

-CHEERS.
-CHEERS.

[ VEHICLE APPROACHES ]

OH, MY GOD.
IT'S THE FBI.

GO.
YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.

GO OUT THE BACK.
I'M NOT GONNA LOSE YOU!

YOU'RE NOT GONNA LOSE ME.
I PROMISE, OKAY?

JUST BE COOL. BE COOL.
JUST ANSWER THE DOOR.

TRUST ME. ANSWER THE DOOR.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, TOO,
AGENT McSWEETEN.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

-WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE?
-I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I WANTED TO SEE HIS FACE.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID?

HOW WOULD I LIKE A JOB?

-HE'S TAUNTING ME.
HE'S TAUNTING ME.
-YEAH.

WHY DOESN'T
HE JUST PUT ME IN JAIL?

WELL, MAYBE NOT.
MAYBE HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

I MEAN, WHY WOULD HE COME HERE
LIKE THIS?

YOU COULD RUN NOW.
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

YOU ACTUALLY THINK HE WANTS ME
TO HELP HIM FIND D.B. COOPER?

YES.

AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT.

I'MD.B. COOPER.

WHICH IS WHY IT'S PERFECT.

IF YOU'RERIGHT, THEN THEY
ALREADY KNOW WHO YOU ARE,

AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
UNTIL THEY CATCH YOU.

BUT IF I'M RIGHT,
THEY WILL NEVERFIND D.B. COOPER

BECAUSE HE WILL BE
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

SO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO IT?

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE
ON TOP OF YOUR GAME.

ONE SLIP-UP AND IT'S OVER.

HOW'D YOU FIGURE OUT
HE WAS D.B. COOPER?

DANIEL COOPER
DIED IN THE TET OFFENSIVE.

AND IT WASN'T TOO HARD
TO FIGURE OUT

THAT STEVE WAS IN HIS UNIT,

AND THERE WAS ANOTHER REASON
THAT THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

WAS CONTAMINATED
BY THE INVESTIGATING TEAM.

WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY?

IT PAID FOR A DAIRY FARM
FOR DAN COOPER'S FAMILY.

BURIED SOME IN THE WOODS...

IN CASE I GOT CAUGHT.

THAT'S WHAT THE CAMPERS FOUND.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S -- THERE'S ONE
THING THAT I JUST COULDN'T --

COULDN'T QUITE FIGURE OUT.

THE -- THE KID WITNESS
ON THE PLANE.

NOVAK.

NOW, YOU INTERVIEWED HIM.

HOW'D YOU FOOL HIM?

WELL, YEARS OF LYING
TAUGHT ME ONE THING.

LOOK SOMEONE DEAD IN THE EYE.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

McSWEETEN.

TODD?

TALLY HO, SON.

WHERE -- WHERE ARE YOU?

YEAH, OKAY, I'LL BE --
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I --

GO. GO.
I GOT THE NOVAK INTERVIEW.

-MICHAEL?
-YES, SIR.

SPECIAL AGENT STEVEN REYNOLDS.

HOW YOU DOING?

I'M GONNA TAKE
YOUR STATEMENT TODAY.

ON BEHALF OF THE FBI,
I JUST WANT TO SAY...

...THANK YOU FOR COMING FORWARD.

YOUR DAD
WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME.

NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT.

TODD.

HE'S A CRIMINAL.
HE BELONGS IN JAIL.

-IS -- IS THAT -- IS THAT
REALLY WHAT YOU WANT?
-YES.

IT'S WHAT MY FATHER WANTED MORE
THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD --

TO BRING D.B. COOPER TO JUSTICE.

YOU KNOW, TODD,
YOUR -- YOUR DAD,

HE HAD A GIFT THAT I BELIEVE
HE PASSED ON TO YOU.

HE COULD SEE GOODNESS
IN PEOPLE.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, HE DID
BRING D.B. COOPER TO JUSTICE.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

YOU KNOW, IT'S FAIR TO SAY
THAT THE DAY

THAT PETER McSWEETEN
KNOCKED ON MY DOOR,

HE SAVED MY LIFE.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

YOU THINK MY FATHER KNEW?

YEAH, LISTEN, HERE'S THE THING.

[ SIGHS ]

PETER McSWEETEN KNEW
THAT STEVE REYNOLDS

WAS A MAN WHO DESERVED
A SECOND CHANGE.

I MEAN, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?

YEAH.

I WANTED TO THANK YOU.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I -- I CAN'T TAKE THAT.

MY FATHER WENT ON AN ODYSSEY
FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

YOU ENDED IT.

I KNOW HE'D WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.

OH.

I HOPE THIS DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE GOING BACK TO SEA.

IF YOU COULD CHOOSE
SOMEONE FROM "THE ODYSSEY"

THAT MOST RESEMBLES ME,
WHO WOULD IT BE?

WELL, UM...

THE HERO, OBVIOUSLY --
ODYSSEUS.

CUNNING WARRIOR,
MASTER OF DISGUISE,

AND IT MEANS "TROUBLE"
IN GREEK.

I THINK I'M LIKE A SIREN.

AH.

YOU SING THE SONGS THAT LURE
THE SAILORS TO THEIR DEATH.

YES, BUT NOT JUST ANYSONG.

NO, NO, NO.

THE SONG THAT OFFERS THEM
THEIR DEEPEST DESIRE.

WHEN WE FIRST STARTED
THIS THING,

THIS THING THAT WE DO,

DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT I SAID TO EVERYBODY?

"YOU ALL KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO,

BUT I KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN DO TOGETHER"?

THATIS MY TALENT.

BUT NOW --

NOW YOU OFFER
A MAN LIKE OLIVER SCHMIDT

THEIR DEEPEST DESIRE
IN ORDER TO...DESTROY THEM.

WHEN YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME

GETTING INSIDE
THE MINDS OF BAD PEOPLE,

LOOKING FOR THEIR FLAWS
AND THEIR WEAKNESS,

THEN IT'S PRETTY MUCH
ALL YOU SEE.

IN EVERYONE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED
TO PETER McSWEETEN.

AH, BUT PETER McSWEETEN
WASN'T JIMMY FORD'S SON.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

I WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING.
