SOKOLOV: If the doctor
did not hide the heart,

there would be no proof
the people of Sverdlovsk,

died from anthrax.

The victims did not die
from tainted meat like

the Soviet government claims.

They were exposed to
a biological weapon.

SOKOLOV [over TV]:
Test it yourself.

RYKER: You see
that pale area there,

that's bacterial overgrowth,

could be endocarditis.

SOKOLOV [over TV]: All other
evidence was destroyed.

LAWSON: Under whose authority?

SOKOLOV: The Kremlin.

LAWSON: And you can confirm
this man was killed by an

incident at Compound 19?

SOKOLOV: He worked in
a ceramic factory next door.

The contaminated
cloud drifted for miles,

killed everyone in its path,

men, women, children.

We were lucky the wind
did not head toward town or

300,000 people would be dead.

LAWSON: What's the
Russian government doing with all that anthrax?

SOKOLOV: My understanding
was to attach it to

warheads for SS-18 ICBMs.

LAWSON [over TV]: How many
pounds could you produce?

SOKOLOV [over TV]: In each
year, about 300 pounds,

aerosolized spores.

AGENT: How bad?

RYKER: 300 pounds,
that's just from one plant?

Uh, we produce
a little for vaccines but

that amount
could kill billions.

We need to know
the virulence and...

RYKER [over speaker]: The
location of the stockpiles.

LAWSON: If they're
going to offer you asylum,

they'll need more.

Exact formulas, locations,

proof that Russia
broke our treaty.

SOKOLOV: Of course, of course.

But if you think that the
attack will come from Russia,

you are looking
in the wrong place.

SOKOLOV [over TV]:
America has many enemies.

Soviets sell
bioweapons to them because

any enemy of America
is a friend to Russia.

I am here to warn you,
an attack is inevitable.

[theme music playing]

STEVENS: We're almost there.

[radio chatter]

TECH: Difficulty breathing,
vitals unstable.

BP 60 over 40.

DOCTOR: 0.3 milligrams
of epinephrine.

Any heart issues?

STEVENS: No.
He's pretty active.

I brought him in because
he was vomiting all night,

had a headache
for two days, uh.

He's been sweating a lot,
drenched his clothes,

the sheets.

And then he got
really confused and

didn't know where he was.

Usually when he gets the flu,

it just passes
in a day or two.

DOCTOR: This doesn't
present like the flu.

Get Dr. Bush down here.

[trembling]

MALECKI: But they just
took down two skyscrapers and

public health faces a
threat no one's talking about.

They know our
airport security

has increased.

Hell, the hijackers
took flight lessons in crop-dusting planes.

Just one outfitted
with a biological or

chemical weapon could
take out the whole county.

Why aren't they grounded?

We've got dusters flying all
over this place for mosquitos.

Excuse me a minute.

MAN: Back to the slides.

As you can see here,
Miami Dade County should

be expecting a
spike in infections.

[phone ringing]

CLEMONS: This is
Officer Clemons.

From where?

What do you think
the likelihood is?

MALECKI: The patient's spinal
fluid showed rod-like bacteria,

MALECKI [over phone]:
Looked like bamboo sticks.

CLEMONS: Sally?

MALECKI [over phone]:
Stain was gram positive.

CLEMONS: So we
could be talking some lethal cereus or, or anthrax.

And the patient?

MALECKI [over phone]:
Blood pressure bottomed-out.

MALECKI: Organs are failing.

Still don't have an
affirmative result,

but considering...

MALECKI [over phone]:
I thought you should be in the loop.

CLEMONS: Does the
guy work in agriculture?

MALECKI: Don't know.

I'm hoping his
wife can retrace his last 48 hours for me.

Do you think this could
have been intentional?

CLEMONS: In a
cushy retirement town?

CLEMONS [over phone]:
With all the fake threats we've been fielding,

there's a better shot it's...

CLEMONS: It's an infection
from a natural cause.

Look, um...

I hate to open the door
but you better call the FBI.

MOORE: Hey, Agent Ryker.
RYKER: Hey.

Let's get these new samples
over to USAMRIID for testing

as soon as possible.

MOORE: Thought you
sent the last of the samples over days ago.

RYKER: Uh, they just finished
shoring up the new section.

I got new access.

MOORE: Well, I'm glad
you're the one dealing with Copak and not me.

But there's something new.

We got a call from Florida.

[overlapping chatter]

COPAK: The cell
outside Dallas?

POLK: We're using FISA
but no specific threat

has surfaced so far.

COPAK: What about
the three in Chicago?

REILLY: We're working
on flipping one member,

brother's heading to
prison so we have leverage.

Picked up comm
from Afghanistan,

trying to trace it.

COPAK: Trying?

POLK: It was sent through
a series of servers, sir.

It makes it hard to track.

[sighs]

COPAK: You go
home last night, Polk?

How about you, Hale? Reilly?

Because Mueller inherited this
Charlie Foxtrot a week before

the towers came down
and I guarantee he didn't

go home last night.

Damn it, find a connection.

Follow it!

You boys need a refresher?

Waco, Ruby Ridge?
We've let this country down.

Find these sons of bitches.

Bring us up to speed on
the suspected cell in Jersey.

What?

RYKER: I just got
a call from Florida.

They're tracking a
possible anthrax attack.

Might not be a hoax this time.

I was thinking I would take
a team and head down there.

COPAK: You have
a definitive test?

RYKER: We have a preliminary
CSF stain gram-positive for

rod-like bacteria.

COPAK: English.

RYKER: It proves it was
a bacterial infection.

That's gonna take a while
before any of our labs come

back with an
actual anthrax read,

but we don't have any
time to waste if this is

the first indicator
of a biological attack.

COPAK: Like the one in Toledo?

Turned out to be talcum powder
and what was that other one?

SYKES: College jock wrote
anthrax on his protein powder

so his roommates
wouldn't use it.

[laughs]

[clears throat]

RYKER: The patient
lives in Boca Raton.

COPAK: Just 'cause
two hijackers lived there

doesn't mean
there's a connection.

RYKER: That's too
much of a coincidence.

Listen, the CDC's
already on its way down there.

I need to get on
the ground before

the press gets wind of
it and stirs up panic.

COPAK: About time the
CDC carried their weight on

these damn hoaxes!

We're fielding two,
300 a week.

Look, Ryker, these SOBs are
fly-a-plane-into-a-skyscraper

kind of terrorists.

They're not gonna
sprinkle magic dust on some guy in BFE Florida.

We're thin here.

Sit down.

All right.

Jersey, what do you got?

SYKES: Last week they
bought some burner phones

close to a dozen, sir.

They're running
their names off known watch lists as we speak.

We're expecting to get a hit.

KURZ: Dr. Simon Kurz.

RYKER: Dr. Kurz, this
is Special Agent Ryker.

Listen, uh, thanks
for jumping on those Pentagon samples, but, um,

I need a favor.

KURZ [over phone]: No problem.

RYKER: I have some tissue
samples being flown up to a

few labs from Florida, one
of them is coming to you and

should arrive within the hour.

I need you to take a look.

KURZ [over phone]:
Of course, Agent Ryker.

KURZ: We'll get right on it.

RYKER [over phone]: Thanks.

KURZ: Bruce, we
got some samples coming in from Florida.

IVINS: Not it!

KURZ: But they need
the anthrax expert.

IVINS: Oh, I don't know.

This bench is getting
awfully comfortable.

If you're
pulling me off of it,

I'm gonna need a new uniform,

maybe a nice,
new pair of Chucks.

HALL: At least
ask for Nike Shox.

IVINS: Are those all the rage?

[laughs]

HALL: Yeah, no
one's worn Chucks since before the three-point line.

IVINS: Really?

KURZ: It wasn't me who
benched you on anthrax.

IVINS: I know that!

It was those suits
in Washington that are full of baloney,

blaming Gulf War Syndrome
on everything but the Gulf.

Easy to point fingers at a
vaccine when symptoms could

have been caused by
myriad factors in the field.

I just spent 20 years
working on piddly little things called breakthroughs,

antibiotic post-exposure
prophylaxis.

And my personal favorite,
a recombinant-protective

antigen vaccine they
don't even wanna fund!

KURZ: Bruce, can
you just run the test?

STEVENS: Yes.

MALECKI: Do you have a minute?

STEVENS: We'd
driven to see our daughter in North Carolina.

MALECKI: And Bob
seemed healthy before he reached Carolina?

STEVENS: Completely.

On the drive, we were planning
our anniversary party.

He was excited to have
all the kids together again.

MALECKI: Any
stops along the way?

STEVENS: A
diner on Highway 26.

MALECKI: Did he eat any
strange food, unusual game?

STEVENS: Just pastrami.

[sighs]

MALECKI: Any other stops?

[sighs]

STEVENS: We did
a little shopping.

Some dress shoes.

MALECKI: Were they leather?
STEVENS: Yes.

It's a big anniversary
and I was determined

not to have him in
a suit and sneakers.

[laughs]

MALECKI: Do you know if
the shoes were handmade?

Where they came from?

STEVENS: No, but how
could he have caught something from shoes?

MALECKI: Bacteria in
livestock can be present on byproducts, leather, wool.

Coming into contact
with those products can cause an infection.

Did he pet any animals,

a dog maybe?

Walk through a pasture?

STEVENS: We went
for a hike with our daughter up to Chimney Rock.

MALECKI: Did he eat or
drink anything on the hike?

[slurping]

STEVENS: I told him
not to drink the water,

but he didn't listen.

MALECKI: We'll have a
local field team do a sweep of the trail on the stream,

see if we can find the
origin of the infection.

STEVENS: What is this?

The doctors haven't
given me an update.

MALECKI: We're not sure.

all right though, isn't he?

SHEILA: Um, eodi gasseo?
Taught you that one before.

RYKER: We had warning signs
that 9/11 was going to happen.

SHEILA: Matthew.

RYKER: Names, addresses even.

SHEILA: The FBI, well
they watch over, what,

thousands of
potential terrorists?

RYKER: A lot of
these guys were flagged.

Memos were sent at
high levels back in August.

Bin Laden might strike,
likely using planes.

There was a flight academy in
Minnesota that alerted us that

Moussaoui was
taking flying lessons.

SHEILA: Jesus.

RYKER: Al-Mihdhar
was on a CIA watchlist,

but there was an
agency tug-of-war.

The FAA wasn't warned in time.

It's on and on.

They all walked
right through security.

SHEILA: How much
of this did you know?

RYKER: I didn't.

SHEILA: Hey, we are all
bleeding a little, okay?

A lot.

RYKER: After what I saw I...

It can't happen again.

SHEILA: Matthew, you are not
responsible for any of this.

CLEMONS: Once we arrive
at the Stevens house,

we'll suit up in here.

Then we'll go

MAN 2: Okay,

[overlapping chatter]

CLEMONS: Soon as we
fill the first box,

get it over to the county lab.

We gotta see where the anthrax
is reading the hottest.

Track down its origin.

RYKER: Anthrax causes
a systemic cytokine response

called apoptosis.

Cell death,
programmed cell death.

It uses its host
as a live incubator.

And you catch it too late,

it's 100% lethal.

COPAK: What are the
chances that you're wrong,

that this wasn't
a planned attack?

Just a natural infection
from environmental sources?

RYKER: Sure, they can
lie dormant in the dirt for 100, maybe 200 years.

But the last
natural human infection on

American soil was
almost 30 years ago.

And 95% of confirmed cases
worldwide are cutaneous,

which means it gets into
a cut or someone touches it.

But Bob Stevens inhaled it,
which is insanely rare,

unless it's
aerosolized intentionally.

COPAK: Intentionally?

What do you...

Weaponized? Against
a small beach town?

RYKER: So I looked into
the hijackers from Florida.

And one of them, al-Haznawi,

according to a
local ER doctor,

had a cut he claimed,
"Would not heal."

The doctor also said
that the skin around it

had turned black, like this.

These are anthrax lesions.

COPAK: So probably Haznawi
was handling the stuff.

RYKER: And now it strikes
in the same place only

three weeks after 9/11?

That can't be a coincidence.

I have to find who did this.

And why Bob Stevens
was the target.

in Bob's condition,

the hospital will
contact you immediately.

STEVENS: You know
what it is, don't you?

Are you going to tell me
what's really going on here?

MALECKI: Bob was
exposed to a bacteria called bacillus anthracis.

Anthrax.

I'm very sorry, Mrs. Stevens.

STEVENS: Oh.
When did you all know?

MALECKI: We had some
indications yesterday, but we wanted confirmation.

If, if we'd been wrong,
it wouldn't have been fair.

STEVENS: He's my husband!

MALECKI: I understand
what you must be feeling.

But the
information was limited to a small circle of people.

Well, I, I thought it only
right that you know before

everyone else finds out.

STEVENS: Everyone else?

THOMPSON [over TV]:
Uh, the Centers for Disease Control has just

confirmed the diagnosis
of anthrax in a patient in a Florida hospital.

REPORTER [over TV]:
We were given, from what you to know,

is there any reason to believe
this is a result of terror?

THOMPSON [over TV]:

this took place in
the State of Florida.

RYKER: I'll call

THOMPSON [over TV]:
Information that the State of Florida has released.

they're going to
go through, uh,

the last couple of weeks.

We've also dispatched people
from CDC to North Carolina to

CLEMONS: Okay, well, get what
you can before every news van

in the state descends on us.

BROKAW: This soon after 9/11?

Seems early to
rule out terrorism.

All right.

They specifically
mentioned an inhalation case.

O'CONNOR: Mm-hmm.

BROKAW: What other forms
of infection are there?

And symptoms, beyond
those that mimic the flu?

I need odds of recovery,
history of outbreaks.

Everything you can get me,

especially if it
involves Al Qaeda.

O'CONNOR: Yes, Mr. Brokaw.

THOMPSON [over TV]:
We don't know that at this point in time.

That's entirely possible.

We do know that he drank
water out of a stream, uh,

when he was traveling to...

IVINS: Oh, yeah it had
to be inhalation anthrax.

Yessiree.

Because somehow, my advanced
background in science has not

afforded me the ability
to distinguish between inhaling and drinking.

Any sixth grader can tell you,

you can't get
inhalation anthrax from sipping creek water!

HALL: Bruce, I think you've
got a future in politics.

KURZ: Or stand-up.

IVINS: Doesn't it
drive you crazy hearing this kind of malarkey?

KURZ: It shocks you

HALL: Chances of only one
person coming down with an

inhalation case
are slim to none.

IVINS: You are
absolutely correct, Jody.

"Jodyness is

We are of one mind.

If it's in the air,
there's no way this guy's the only one breathing it.

We have no idea.

RYKER: You didn't wanna
run this through a hospital?

MALECKI: If you can find
one that wants to expose

themselves with possible
anthrax contamination,

be my guest.

Could only get a
sign-off on Boca Raton's most infamous locale.

Do the words "hanging chads"

mean anything to you?

RYKER: Seriously?

This is the place
they did the re-count?

MALECKI: Name?
RYKER: Stephanie Dailey.

I'm Special Agent
Matthew Ryker.

Can I have a word, in private?

DAILEY: Yeah.

RYKER: We've been testing
samples at your offices and

we found anthrax
spores at your desk and the vent above it.

DAILEY: Oh my God.

RYKER: Why don't
you take a seat?

First of all, it doesn't
mean that you have it, okay?

[trembles]

I just need to know
whether you remember opening any packages or

letters with
a white powder inside.

DAILEY: Um, we publish
The Sun and The Enquirer.

We always get kooky mail.

RYKER: Well, this
would've been a week ago,

two at the most.

DAILEY: Um, yeah, okay,
I remember one package.

It was another
proposal to J-Lo and maybe had a Star of David

in it and some white
stuff like baby powder.

RYKER: Okay, what did
you do with that package?

- I need to find it.
- DAILEY: It's gone.

RYKER: Well, even if
it went into the trash, I have a team of...

DAILEY: No, I mean,
it's gone, gone.

We, we get all
kinds of hate mail and

alien hunters
and too much trash,

so they started to burn it.

AMI, they just
incinerate all their mail.

Is, um, is Bob gonna die?

I heard on the local news
that it could be engineered

to resist penicillin.

RYKER: None of
us have said that.

But just as a precaution,
we will start you on an

antibiotic called Cipro,

same as Bob.

DAILEY: Cipro.

RYKER: It's a newer drug,

so if the anthrax
has been weaponized,

this will knock it out.

RYKER: Okay?
DAILEY: Okay.

RYKER: I know this is scary.

But I really think
you're gonna be fine.

DAILEY: Thank, thank you.

BROKAW [over TV]:
In tragic news,

we've just learned
that Photo Editor,

Robert Stevens has died
from his anthrax exposure,

the victim of what now looks
to be a targeted attack on

the media giant AMI.

A tragic loss of life.

A senseless attack.

BROKAW: Our thoughts are with
the family of Robert Stevens.

Meanwhile,
another AMI employee,

Ernesto Blanco is
in stable condition.

And the biggest question
still looming tonight,

who's behind this
deadly attack and

will they strike again?

Get them out of there!

Ry, Ryker, stop!

We all know this didn't

You called it!

It's an attack.

CDC's off the case.

It wasn't my call.

CLEMONS: Well, no,

You know, the samples your

I assume you're
