wanna just shut down
177
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:01,410
the entire
United States government?
178
00:09:01,497 --> 00:09:02,977
RYKER: The Hill anyway, until
we can get the staffers tested
179
00:09:03,064 --> 00:09:05,109
in the office and deconned.
180
00:09:05,196 --> 00:09:08,417
In a perfect world, I'd set
up a full BSL4 lab to handle
181
00:09:08,504 --> 00:09:10,201
that kind of volume.
182
00:09:10,288 --> 00:09:11,594
TORETTI: Daschle had the
President on the phone and
183
00:09:11,681 --> 00:09:13,857
we've been
offered all resources.
184
00:09:13,944 --> 00:09:16,860
RYKER: Good, I'll
get someone scouting
locations to start the build.
185
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:21,343
Also, we need to get the head
of pathology from USAMRIID
186
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:23,258
over here and take
a look at that letter,
187
00:09:23,345 --> 00:09:25,477
send it back to the lab, and
see if it comes back positive.
188
00:09:41,972 --> 00:09:43,974
RYKER: Thanks.
We'll take it from here.
189

Uh, the type of
writing is the same,
190

different from the
Brokaw and Post letters.

Take a look.
192
00:10:10,174 --> 00:10:13,090
It's whiter,
less clumpy, no debris.
193
00:10:13,177 --> 00:10:14,788
I need to know if
it's the same strain.
194
00:10:17,094 --> 00:10:21,142
TORETTI: You'll notice something
different about this letter.
195
00:10:21,229 --> 00:10:24,014
RYKER: A return address.
TORETTI: Our guy is smart.
196
00:10:24,101 --> 00:10:26,321
He knows that the anthrax
letters have been in the news,

RYKER: Yeah.
202
00:10:33,502 --> 00:10:34,634
We have to track down
the address and get
203
00:10:34,721 --> 00:10:36,026
this to USAMRIID for testing.

and The Post letters
are postmarked here,

swab all 600 plus mailboxes

identify this specific box,

00:10:54,218 --> 00:10:55,263

us to the terrorists.

MOORE: Okay.
344
00:18:40,031 --> 00:18:41,816
REPORTER [over TV]: Many
US citizens have stopped
345
00:18:41,903 --> 00:18:45,298
opening their mail, even
tossing it on the curb.
346
00:18:45,385 --> 00:18:47,952
We now join
a live conference at
347
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:50,912
the Brentwood
Mail Facility in D.C.
348
00:18:50,999 --> 00:18:53,567
MANAGER [over TV]: Thank you
for joining us here today.
349
00:18:53,654 --> 00:18:56,135
At the postal services
in Washington, D.C.
350
00:18:56,222 --> 00:18:58,746
processing and
distribution center.
351
00:18:58,833 --> 00:19:01,836
As you know, one letter
from among the more than
352
00:19:01,923 --> 00:19:06,971
3.5 million pieces of
mail handled here each
day contained anthrax.
353
00:19:07,058 --> 00:19:08,973
And there is no...
354
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:10,279
CURSEEN: I don't know why they
made you stay after your shift
355
00:19:10,366 --> 00:19:11,976
and sweep up
round the sorters.
356
00:19:12,063 --> 00:19:15,023
You can't even
see them on the TV.
357
00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:16,807
MANAGER [over TV]:
This afternoon, I am
announcing the offer of a
358
00:19:16,894 --> 00:19:21,072
reward of up to
$1 million for the information
359
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,858
leading to the arrest
and conviction of those
360
00:19:23,945 --> 00:19:27,383
responsible for the
mailing of the anthrax.
361
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:29,080
MILLER: You leavin'?
362
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:30,256
CURSEEN: There's enough
smoke being blown up
363
00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:32,475
certain places around here.
364
00:19:32,562 --> 00:19:35,348
And I'm feeling
a little run-down anyway.
365
00:19:37,437 --> 00:19:39,178
Later.
366
00:19:41,005 --> 00:19:42,616
RYKER: How many others on
the Hill have been infected?
367
00:19:42,703 --> 00:19:44,487
[sighs]
368
00:19:44,574 --> 00:19:46,707
TORETTI: We got 28 new cases,
hundreds more to test.
369
00:19:46,794 --> 00:19:48,839
RYKER: And I've got
three more right here.
370
00:19:48,926 --> 00:19:50,885
TORETTI: Okay, let's pin 'em.
371
00:19:50,972 --> 00:19:53,322
The green indicates where
infected people worked,
372
00:19:53,409 --> 00:19:56,499
the red is where
our hazmat teams
found spores, here,
373
00:19:56,586 --> 00:19:58,936
high concentration
in Feingold's offices,
374
00:19:59,023 --> 00:20:00,895
in the central atrium,
and the courtyard in front
375
00:20:00,982 --> 00:20:02,679
of Daschle's suite.
376
00:20:02,766 --> 00:20:03,898
What about your three?
377
00:20:03,985 --> 00:20:05,378
RYKER: I got Alicia Herrera,
378
00:20:05,465 --> 00:20:06,901
works in
Feingold's basement office.
379
00:20:06,988 --> 00:20:08,555
TORETTI: Okay.
380
00:20:08,642 --> 00:20:11,166
RYKER: Mike Wakefield,
uh, Capitol Police,
381
00:20:11,253 --> 00:20:12,646
first responders.
382
00:20:12,733 --> 00:20:14,125
He's one of the first into
383
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:15,257
the Hart Building
after the attack.
384
00:20:15,344 --> 00:20:16,432
TORETTI: That'd be atrium.
385
00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:17,999
RYKER: And Peter Browning,
386
00:20:18,086 --> 00:20:20,741
a contractor in the
State Department...
387
00:20:20,828 --> 00:20:22,786
Building.
388
00:20:30,011 --> 00:20:31,621
TORETTI: Ryker?
389
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:34,145
RYKER: We shut the
Hill down too late.
390
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:36,191
Somebody opened
another letter.
391
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,243
Mr. Browning, I
just need to confirm,
392
00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:46,375
you were nowhere
near the Hart Building
this morning, correct?
393
00:20:46,462 --> 00:20:48,464
BROWNING: I stay in the annex.
394
00:20:48,551 --> 00:20:51,162
Keep my distance
from the senators
and staffers, the egos.
395
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:52,947
TORETTI: How long
have you had symptoms?
396
00:20:53,034 --> 00:20:55,689
BROWNING: I've felt
like crap for two days.
397
00:20:55,776 --> 00:20:57,517
RYKER: Well, you could have
been exposed days ago from an
398
00:20:57,604 --> 00:20:59,258
entirely different letter.
399
00:20:59,345 --> 00:21:02,217
We need to know when
that letter arrived and
400
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:05,002
who might've been the target.
401
00:21:05,089 --> 00:21:06,917
TORETTI: Mr. Browning,
402
00:21:07,004 --> 00:21:09,224
think back, do you remember
opening any suspicious mail
403
00:21:09,311 --> 00:21:11,095
over the past week?
404
00:21:11,182 --> 00:21:12,706
It would've likely look
similar to the anthrax letters
405
00:21:12,793 --> 00:21:14,273
that you've seen on TV,
406
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:16,275
with all caps and
childish handwriting.
407
00:21:16,362 --> 00:21:17,493
BROWNING: I don't
really see what comes in or
408
00:21:17,580 --> 00:21:19,147
where it's going.
409
00:21:19,234 --> 00:21:20,148
I'm a supervisor.
410
00:21:20,235 --> 00:21:22,106
I don't open mail.
411
00:21:22,193 --> 00:21:23,934
Ever.
412
00:21:33,248 --> 00:21:34,554
RYKER: Uh, give
me a minute, okay?
413
00:21:34,641 --> 00:21:35,685
TORETTI: Yeah.
414
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:39,776
RYKER: Hey.
415
00:21:39,863 --> 00:21:44,346
WILLIS: Hey. How bad is this?
416
00:21:44,433 --> 00:21:47,523
RYKER: I'm not really sure.
Are you okay?
417
00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:50,439
WILLIS: Yeah.
I'm still waiting to find out,
and they're getting us Cipro.
418
00:21:50,526 --> 00:21:51,962
RYKER: Mm-hmm.
419
00:21:52,049 --> 00:21:53,573
WILLIS: I'm trying
not to freak out.
420
00:21:53,660 --> 00:21:55,749
RYKER: Hey, you're
gonna be okay, all right?
421
00:21:55,836 --> 00:21:56,967
The important thing is
they caught everyone on
422
00:21:57,054 --> 00:21:58,099
the Hill early.
423
00:21:58,186 --> 00:21:59,709
WILLIS: Okay.
424
00:21:59,796 --> 00:22:01,842
RYKER: Um, I really gotta go.
425
00:22:01,929 --> 00:22:02,886
I'll check in with you later?
426
00:22:02,973 --> 00:22:04,235
WILLIS: Okay.
427
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:12,200
NURSE: It's a little high,
but not so bad.
428
00:22:12,287 --> 00:22:13,636
Flu's going around.
429
00:22:13,723 --> 00:22:15,421
MILLER: It don't
feel like the flu.
430
00:22:15,508 --> 00:22:17,292
You know, Joe
left after his shift.
431
00:22:17,379 --> 00:22:19,120
Looked like hell.
432
00:22:19,207 --> 00:22:21,340
Said he wasn't
feeling good neither.
433
00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:23,342
NURSE: Joe said he hit
the crab cake buffet
at Milton's yesterday.
434
00:22:23,429 --> 00:22:25,256
Chances are
it's food poisoning.
435
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:28,608
MILLER: But they had
me shut down number 17.
436
00:22:28,695 --> 00:22:30,610
You don't think maybe it had
to do with what's happening on
437
00:22:30,697 --> 00:22:32,742
the Hill with
the anthrax mail?
438
00:22:32,829 --> 00:22:34,744
NURSE: They held a whole
press conference here.
439
00:22:34,831 --> 00:22:36,485
All the big wigs
were down on the floor.
440
00:22:36,572 --> 00:22:38,748
They wouldn't do
that if it weren't safe.
441
00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:42,578
Look, just take a few
aspirin and finish up.
442
00:22:42,665 --> 00:22:45,799
You don't wanna use
a whole sick day just
'cause you're feeling warm.

Sorry to barge in

It's about the
anthrax investigation, sir.

I'd like to have a word
with you about Simon Kurz.

COLONEL: You have
an issue with how
Kurz's running things?

IVINS: I do, sir.

As you know I've spent my whole
career working on anthrax,

00:24:31,121 --> 00:24:33,036
I pretty much wrote
the book on it, uh,

at least a cornucopia
of articles.

And Simon has not consulted with
me about the Daschle letter.

COLONEL: Not
that strange, Bruce.

Situations like
this always fall to the
head of the department.

a woman from The Post,

said she was infected,

Then we found it,

few spores escape an envelope

TORETTI: It's coming
right through the
fibers of the envelope.
514
00:26:32,721 --> 00:26:34,854
RYKER: Which means that anyone
even in the vicinity of the
515
00:26:34,941 --> 00:26:37,900
anthrax letters is at risk.
516
00:26:37,987 --> 00:26:40,599
TORETTI: There could be
a whole string of victims we
don't know anything about,
517
00:26:40,686 --> 00:26:41,861
all the way back to Jersey
518
00:26:41,948 --> 00:26:44,037
where the letters were mailed.
519
00:26:44,124 --> 00:26:45,691
RYKER: So we need
to know each stop that
they made along the way.
520
00:26:48,215 --> 00:26:49,303
RYKER [over phone]:
Shut it down!
521
00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:51,000
QUINTON: What, all of it?
522
00:26:51,087 --> 00:26:52,828
There must be a dozen
DBCS machines down there.
523
00:26:52,915 --> 00:26:54,351
RYKER: Yes, you need to
evacuate every employee and
524
00:26:54,438 --> 00:26:55,831
get them all on Cipro.
525
00:26:55,918 --> 00:26:56,919
QUINTON: We'd have
mountains of mail.
526
00:26:57,006 --> 00:26:58,921
It's a federal offense.
527
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:00,183
RYKER: I've contacted the CDC
and you should be hearing from
528
00:27:00,270 --> 00:27:01,576
the Governor any minute.
529
00:27:01,663 --> 00:27:02,621
This needs to
happen right now!
530
00:27:02,708 --> 00:27:04,579
QUINTON: The Governor?
531
00:27:04,666 --> 00:27:06,233
RYKER: Your machines could be
spewing poison throughout...
532
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,191
RYKER [over phone]:
The entire building.
533
00:27:08,278 --> 00:27:09,410
We already know of three
letters full of anthrax have
534
00:27:09,497 --> 00:27:10,411
passed through your equipment,
535
00:27:10,498 --> 00:27:12,543
there could be more.
536
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:14,937
RYKER: The anthrax is
coming through the envelopes.
537
00:27:15,024 --> 00:27:17,374
MOORE: One of your
employees was already
admitted into St. Francis.
538
00:27:17,461 --> 00:27:18,854
They found a
lesion on her arm.
539
00:27:18,941 --> 00:27:20,421
QUINTON: Who?
MOORE: Angela Lowman.
540
00:27:20,508 --> 00:27:21,727
We're checking in
with another employee
541
00:27:21,814 --> 00:27:23,642
who might also be infected.
542
00:27:23,729 --> 00:27:25,905
QUINTON: I'm gonna have the
floor evacuated immediately.
543
00:27:27,994 --> 00:27:30,257
RYKER: Inspector,
sorry to keep you waiting.
544
00:27:30,344 --> 00:27:32,302
Here's a copy of what
I faxed to your office.
545
00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:34,043
PARRISH: Happy to help.
RYKER: Thank you.
546
00:27:34,130 --> 00:27:35,915
We shut down the Hamilton
facility in New Jersey.
547
00:27:36,002 --> 00:27:37,786
But what we need to know is
everywhere the letter went
548
00:27:37,873 --> 00:27:39,962
between there and
Senator Daschle's office.
549
00:27:40,049 --> 00:27:41,616
TORETTI: We need test
everyone along the way,
550
00:27:41,703 --> 00:27:43,618
so we just wanna know
how precise we can get.
551
00:27:43,705 --> 00:27:45,664
PARRISH: Well, you see
those series of hash marks?
552
00:27:45,751 --> 00:27:47,491
It's actually an
encoded time stamp.
553
00:27:47,578 --> 00:27:49,058
It traces a letter's path,
554
00:27:49,145 --> 00:27:50,625
marks every
facility it went through.
555
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:52,192
[computer bings]
556
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:53,367
TORETTI: Huh.
PARRISH: Oh, there we go.
557
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:58,720
Okay, on October 9th,
558
00:27:58,807 --> 00:28:00,417
the envelope went through the
559
00:28:00,504 --> 00:28:01,941
Automatic Flats Canceling
and Sorting machine
560
00:28:02,028 --> 00:28:04,726
at Hamilton at 4:57 pm.
561
00:28:04,813 --> 00:28:09,165
At 5:15, it was encoded by a
DBCS machine according to its
562
00:28:09,252 --> 00:28:12,038
zip plus four, and sorted
into a mail bin that was
563
00:28:12,125 --> 00:28:14,910
loaded onto Truck number 468.
564
00:28:14,997 --> 00:28:18,784
The truck left Hamilton
at 7:18 am the next morning,
565
00:28:18,871 --> 00:28:20,524
and drove to Newark Airport,
566
00:28:20,611 --> 00:28:23,484
where it was loaded
on a USPS airliner.
567
00:28:23,571 --> 00:28:25,355
TORETTI: We need to
track down that driver,
568
00:28:25,442 --> 00:28:27,227
the pilot, and the co-pilot,
and those baggage handlers.
569
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:29,055
PARRISH: Plane landed in D.C.
570
00:28:29,142 --> 00:28:30,883
on the night of the
October 10th, and from there,
571
00:28:30,970 --> 00:28:34,887
the letter went to
its final USPS stop...
572
00:28:34,974 --> 00:28:37,846
Brentwood.
573
00:28:37,933 --> 00:28:39,587
Brentwood's one of the
largest mail facilities on
574
00:28:39,674 --> 00:28:40,980
the East Coast.
575
00:28:41,067 --> 00:28:43,156
It employs
almost 2,000 workers.
576
00:28:43,243 --> 00:28:46,246
RYKER: Can you
trace the exact machines
that letter went through?
577
00:28:46,333 --> 00:28:48,683
PARRISH: Just one.
578
00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:51,338
DBCS machine number 17.
579
00:28:51,425 --> 00:28:53,296
RYKER: We need to get all
those workers out of there.
580
00:28:55,951 --> 00:28:58,519
[beeping]
581
00:28:58,606 --> 00:28:59,999
What the...
582
00:29:00,086 --> 00:29:02,566
TORETTI: They didn't evacuate?
583
00:29:02,653 --> 00:29:04,177
How can they just let
these employees come to work
584
00:29:04,264 --> 00:29:07,397
in a contaminated space?
585
00:29:07,484 --> 00:29:09,399
[laughing]
586
00:29:15,536 --> 00:29:16,493
RYKER: I'm
looking for Jerry Reid.
587
00:29:16,580 --> 00:29:17,886
REID: You found him.
588
00:29:17,973 --> 00:29:19,627
RYKER: Special
Agent Ryker, FBI.
589
00:29:19,714 --> 00:29:21,194
This place should have
been evacuated hours ago.
590
00:29:21,281 --> 00:29:23,239
REID: We got
your recommendation.
591
00:29:23,326 --> 00:29:27,853
We shut down DBCS 17 and I
passed it on up the chain,
592
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:30,159
they said that was enough.
593
00:29:30,246 --> 00:29:33,162
RYKER: Letters filled
with anthrax came
through here days ago.
594
00:29:33,249 --> 00:29:34,642
We've had two positive cases
595
00:29:34,729 --> 00:29:36,078
in a postal facility
in New Jersey.
596
00:29:36,165 --> 00:29:37,210
They shut down.
597
00:29:37,297 --> 00:29:38,820
Why haven't you?
598
00:29:38,907 --> 00:29:40,343
REID: Hamilton is a
fraction of our size.
599
00:29:40,430 --> 00:29:42,215
We service the
entire U.S. Government,
600
00:29:42,302 --> 00:29:43,782
every embassy and...
601
00:29:43,869 --> 00:29:45,087
RYKER: You need to
shut this place down.
602
00:29:45,174 --> 00:29:46,915
[scoffs]
603
00:29:47,002 --> 00:29:48,656
REID: FBI doesn't have
carte blanche jurisdiction.
604
00:29:48,743 --> 00:29:50,440
Look, there's a whole
chain of heavy hitters above
605
00:29:50,527 --> 00:29:52,312
the two of us.
606
00:29:52,399 --> 00:29:53,574
RYKER: What part of this
do you guys not understand?
607
00:29:53,661 --> 00:29:55,228
People are dying!
608
00:29:55,315 --> 00:29:58,144
REID: Not postal workers.
They're all fine.
609
00:29:58,231 --> 00:30:01,974
You don't understand
what we do, what we are.
610
00:30:02,061 --> 00:30:04,411
Social Security checks,
mortgages.
611
00:30:04,498 --> 00:30:05,978
You don't let somebody's
house get foreclosed on,
612
00:30:06,065 --> 00:30:08,197
'cause they missed a payment?
613
00:30:08,284 --> 00:30:09,982
And what about the insulin
that's sitting in one of
614
00:30:10,069 --> 00:30:12,680
our carts on its
way to some diabetic?
615
00:30:12,767 --> 00:30:15,291
People's lives rely
on the postal service.
616
00:30:15,378 --> 00:30:16,684
We don't "shut down."
617
00:30:16,771 --> 00:30:18,729
Ever.
618
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:20,122
What you're looking at on that
floor is an essential service.
619
00:30:20,209 --> 00:30:21,558
They're essential.
620
00:30:21,645 --> 00:30:23,299
RYKER: Don't you
mean expendable?
621
00:30:26,389 --> 00:30:29,175
I may not have the authority
to evacuate your employees,
622
00:30:29,262 --> 00:30:31,046
but let's see how many of them
stick around when they start
623
00:30:31,133 --> 00:30:33,135
seeing a hazmat team
sweeping through.
624
00:30:35,442 --> 00:30:37,183
MAN: Rough pass first.
625
00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:39,750
Get suited up.
626
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:45,931
[overlapping chatter]
627
00:30:51,153 --> 00:30:53,025
WOMAN: What are
they all doing here?
628
00:30:53,112 --> 00:30:55,636
[overlapping chatter]
629
00:30:55,723 --> 00:30:57,246
WOMAN: Excuse me?
630
00:30:57,333 --> 00:30:58,769
Uh, can you tell us
what is going on here?
631
00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:00,859
Is the floor
contaminated or something?
632
00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:02,251
TORETTI: We don't know yet,
633
00:31:02,338 --> 00:31:04,166
but I'm gonna be
honest with you.
634
00:31:04,253 --> 00:31:06,386
There are probably a few
workers here in this facility
635
00:31:06,473 --> 00:31:10,085
that have been
exposed to anthrax spores.
636
00:31:10,172 --> 00:31:12,609
Now, I'm trying to track
down anyone who's been sick,
637
00:31:12,696 --> 00:31:14,524
so we can get them help.
638
00:31:14,611 --> 00:31:15,743
Are you feeling
ill in any way?
639
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:17,571
WOMAN: Not, not me.
640
00:31:17,658 --> 00:31:20,791
TORETTI: Somebody else then?
641
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:24,491
Their best chance is
for us to get to them
as soon as possible.
642
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:30,453
WOMAN: A friend of mine,
Louis Miller, he,
643
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:33,892
he's never left mid-shift
his whole life until today.
644
00:31:33,979 --> 00:31:35,328
I'll give you his number.
645
00:31:35,415 --> 00:31:37,896
TORETTI: Please, yes.
646
00:31:37,983 --> 00:31:40,333
RYKER: He wasn't home and
he isn't picking up his cell.
647
00:31:40,420 --> 00:31:42,335
TORETTI [over phone]:
He wasn't at his
HMO's urgent care either.
648
00:31:42,422 --> 00:31:43,814
I'm heading over
to Central Hospital.
649
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:45,294
RYKER: All right.
650
00:31:45,381 --> 00:31:46,382
I'll tell you
what I find out here.
651
00:31:49,037 --> 00:31:50,691
I'm looking for a patient,
652
00:31:50,778 --> 00:31:53,259
African-American
male in his 40s.
653
00:31:53,346 --> 00:31:55,435
Place of employment is
the Brentwood Mail Facility.
654
00:31:55,522 --> 00:31:56,784
I have his name and
address right here.
655
00:31:56,871 --> 00:31:58,525
NURSE: Is it Thomas Morris?
656
00:31:58,612 --> 00:31:59,961
Qieth McQue?
657
00:32:00,048 --> 00:32:01,745
I've also got a
Joseph Curseen.
658
00:32:01,832 --> 00:32:03,051
RYKER: These men
all work at Brentwood?
659
00:32:03,138 --> 00:32:04,618
NURSE: Yeah.
660
00:32:04,705 --> 00:32:06,054
RYKER: And they're
all current patients?
661
00:32:06,141 --> 00:32:09,057
NURSE: Two of
them are in the ICU,
662
00:32:09,144 --> 00:32:13,192
but Joe is in Room 311.
663
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:14,541
RYKER: Thank you.
664
00:32:19,676 --> 00:32:21,417
TORETTI: Hi.
665
00:32:21,504 --> 00:32:22,853
I'm looking for a patient,
he's a middle-aged man,
666
00:32:22,941 --> 00:32:24,594
African-American
named Louis Miller.
667
00:32:24,681 --> 00:32:25,769
NURSE: He hasn't
seen a doctor yet.
668
00:32:25,856 --> 00:32:27,206
He's in the waiting area.
669
00:32:27,293 --> 00:32:28,511
TORETTI: Okay,
I need someone now.
670
00:32:30,209 --> 00:32:31,819
Louis Miller?
671
00:32:31,906 --> 00:32:33,342
MILLER: Over here.
672
00:32:33,429 --> 00:32:34,778
TORETTI: Mr. Miller?
673
00:32:34,865 --> 00:32:36,258
From the
Brentwood Mail Facility?
674
00:32:36,345 --> 00:32:38,130
MILLER: Yeah, what's,
what's going on?
675
00:32:38,217 --> 00:32:39,827
TORETTI: Are you experiencing
flu-like symptoms?
676
00:32:39,914 --> 00:32:41,960
MILLER: Oh,
something's not right.
677
00:32:42,047 --> 00:32:44,875
I'm sorry, who are you?
678
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:47,052
TORETTI: Dani Toretti, FBI,
we believe you may have been
679
00:32:47,139 --> 00:32:48,705
exposed to
anthrax at Brentwood,
680
00:32:48,792 --> 00:32:50,229
we just need to make sure.
681
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:51,491
Okay.
682
00:32:51,578 --> 00:32:53,058
Chest X-ray and a spinal tap.
683
00:32:53,145 --> 00:32:54,581
It'll show that
Mr. Miller has anthrax.
684
00:32:54,668 --> 00:32:56,670
But first start him
on Cipro, right now.
685
00:32:56,757 --> 00:32:58,280
NURSE: I'll get a doctor.
686
00:32:58,367 --> 00:32:59,281
TORETTI: Once we have
you on antibiotics,
687
00:32:59,368 --> 00:33:00,761
you should be okay.
688
00:33:00,848 --> 00:33:02,545
MILLER: There
are others, you know,
689
00:33:02,632 --> 00:33:04,765
who've been sick
all of a sudden.
690
00:33:04,852 --> 00:33:06,854
TORETTI: Yeah. Yeah.
We know.
691
00:33:06,941 --> 00:33:08,290
Just give me one minute, okay?
692
00:33:10,727 --> 00:33:11,946
Ryker, I found him.
693
00:33:12,033 --> 00:33:13,556
We caught it just in time.
694
00:33:13,643 --> 00:33:14,993
RYKER [over phone]:
No, we didn't.
695
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,516
RYKER: I just
found Joe Curseen.
696
00:33:16,603 --> 00:33:18,387
He works with Louis.
697
00:33:18,474 --> 00:33:20,563
He passed out in
church yesterday.
698
00:33:20,650 --> 00:33:21,738
RYKER [over phone]: By the
time he got to the hospital,
699
00:33:21,825 --> 00:33:23,175
it was already too late.
700
00:33:23,262 --> 00:33:24,219
RYKER: He's dead.
701
00:33:24,306 --> 00:33:26,439
[crying]
702
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:30,399
TORETTI: All right, thanks.
703
00:33:42,629 --> 00:33:45,545
MORRIS [over tape]:
My breathing is labored and
my chest feels constricted.
704
00:33:45,632 --> 00:33:47,764
Uh, I am getting air,
but just to get up and
705
00:33:47,851 --> 00:33:49,375
walk and what have you.
706
00:33:49,462 --> 00:33:51,899
I feel like I
might just pass out.
707
00:33:51,986 --> 00:33:52,639
911 OPERATOR [over tape]:
And you said you work at
the post office?
708
00:33:52,726 --> 00:33:54,510
Which one?
709
00:33:54,597 --> 00:33:55,555
MORRIS [over tape]:
The post office downtown,
710
00:33:55,642 --> 00:33:57,600
Brentwood Road.
711
00:33:57,687 --> 00:33:59,689
They never let us know if
that thing had anthrax or not.
712
00:33:59,776 --> 00:34:02,040
The doctor thought it was
just a virus or something,
713
00:34:02,127 --> 00:34:04,172
so I was taking
aspirin for the achiness.
714
00:34:04,259 --> 00:34:06,000
But now there's the
shortness of breath.
715
00:34:06,087 --> 00:34:08,220
[labored breathing]
716
00:34:08,307 --> 00:34:11,701
RYKER: The person who called
911 was one of your employees.
717
00:34:11,788 --> 00:34:13,486
REID: Is he okay?
718
00:34:13,573 --> 00:34:14,878
RYKER: Thomas Morris,
719
00:34:14,965 --> 00:34:17,229
he's dead.
720
00:34:17,316 --> 00:34:18,534
So is Joe Curseen.
721
00:34:18,621 --> 00:34:20,884
[sighs]
722
00:34:22,234 --> 00:34:24,062
REID: I don't
know what to say.
723
00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:25,367
RYKER: Well, maybe there's a
reason the workers here call
724
00:34:25,454 --> 00:34:27,369
this place "The Plantation."
725
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:28,892
REID: Look, I shut the
machines down and started
726
00:34:28,979 --> 00:34:32,026
closing the place up
after you left here.
727
00:34:32,113 --> 00:34:35,290
My heart goes out
to them, their families.
728
00:34:35,377 --> 00:34:36,900
RYKER: Your team knew
there could be anthrax here
729
00:34:36,987 --> 00:34:38,554
multiple shifts ago.
730
00:34:38,641 --> 00:34:40,469
REID: We were assured
it wasn't a problem.
731
00:34:40,556 --> 00:34:42,428
I was following orders,
trusting the people who
732
00:34:42,515 --> 00:34:44,386
are supposed to
know more about this.
733
00:34:44,473 --> 00:34:45,909
RYKER: "Supposed to"
doesn't mean anything to the
734
00:34:45,996 --> 00:34:47,781
people who have lost someone.
735
00:35:04,493 --> 00:35:06,321
IVINS: Uh, it's
pretty straightforward.
736
00:35:06,408 --> 00:35:08,280
We examined the powder from
the Daschle letter under an
737
00:35:08,367 --> 00:35:11,457
electron microscope which can
magnify up to 2,000 times and
738
00:35:11,544 --> 00:35:12,806
identified the
augmentation and
739
00:35:12,893 --> 00:35:14,460
presence on a molecular level.
740
00:35:14,547 --> 00:35:16,462
COLONEL: Layman's terms.
741
00:35:16,549 --> 00:35:18,551
I'll have to
spell it out for them.
742
00:35:18,638 --> 00:35:20,857
IVINS: We found that something
had been added to the spores.
743
00:35:20,944 --> 00:35:23,295
COLONEL: And based on
your expertise in anthrax,
744
00:35:23,382 --> 00:35:25,732
how certain are you about
what that substance is?
745
00:35:25,819 --> 00:35:27,125
IVINS: Bentonite?
746
00:35:27,212 --> 00:35:29,127
100%.
747
00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:30,867
Will they know
what that means?
748
00:35:30,954 --> 00:35:32,608
COLONEL: They might not
understand microbiology,
749
00:35:32,695 --> 00:35:35,045
but they've read enough
intelligence briefings.
750
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:38,266
There's only one
country we know of that's
added bentonite to anthrax.
751
00:35:38,353 --> 00:35:39,963
IVINS: Iraq.
752
00:35:40,050 --> 00:35:43,663
[knocking]
753
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:46,535
TORETTI: You're not
answering your phone.
754
00:35:46,622 --> 00:35:48,494
RYKER: I hadn't
slept since New York.
755
00:35:50,757 --> 00:35:52,585
TORETTI: I haven't eaten.
Do you mind?
756
00:35:52,672 --> 00:35:54,761
RYKER: No, make
yourself right at home.
757
00:35:57,067 --> 00:35:58,286
Not exactly a meal.
758
00:35:58,373 --> 00:36:01,333
[sighs]
759
00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:04,031
TORETTI: This is cozy.
760
00:36:04,118 --> 00:36:07,426
RYKER: Well, I spend
a lot of time on the road.
761
00:36:07,513 --> 00:36:09,428
Sorry, I'm a little late.
762
00:36:09,515 --> 00:36:12,213
It's just, I have a, a dinner
date tonight and then I have a
763
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:15,738
family birthday thing that
totally slipped my mind,
764
00:36:15,825 --> 00:36:19,046
kind of a two birds
with one stone situation.
765
00:36:20,439 --> 00:36:21,875
TORETTI: Who's the lucky girl?
766
00:36:21,962 --> 00:36:25,444
Is she the stone
or one of the birds?
767
00:36:25,531 --> 00:36:27,837
RYKER: What are
you doing here again?
768
00:36:27,924 --> 00:36:30,405
TORETTI: They found
a hot drum full of mail,
769
00:36:30,492 --> 00:36:32,233
led them to
another anthrax letter.
770
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,061
It's the one we
think infected Browning.
771
00:36:34,148 --> 00:36:37,543
RYKER: Who was the target?
TORETTI: Senator Leahy.
772
00:36:37,630 --> 00:36:41,677
RYKER: Leahy.
Judiciary Committee.
773
00:36:41,764 --> 00:36:43,940
Why wasn't it in the
mail from his office?
774
00:36:44,027 --> 00:36:46,378
TORETTI: The postal
machine misread the
handwritten zip code,
775
00:36:46,465 --> 00:36:48,075
so it ended up unopened,
776
00:36:48,162 --> 00:36:50,556
way down at the
State Department building.
777
00:36:50,643 --> 00:36:52,775
Which is a very good thing,
because it had triple the
778
00:36:52,862 --> 00:36:56,257
amount of powder than
the Daschle letter.
779
00:36:56,344 --> 00:36:58,738
RYKER: That's enough spores
to kill thousands of people.
780
00:36:58,825 --> 00:37:00,435
No other hot spots?
781
00:37:00,522 --> 00:37:03,438
TORETTI: No, not
that they found so far.
782
00:37:03,525 --> 00:37:07,312
RYKER: So then why
target Daschle and Leahy and
783
00:37:07,399 --> 00:37:08,791
then no one else?
784
00:37:08,878 --> 00:37:10,358
TORETTI: Two
Democratic Senators both
785
00:37:10,445 --> 00:37:12,882
needed to push the
Patriot Act through.
786
00:37:12,969 --> 00:37:14,101
RYKER: Since when does
Al-Qaeda care about
787
00:37:14,188 --> 00:37:15,407
our internal politics?
788
00:37:15,494 --> 00:37:16,669
Is that what you're implying?
789
00:37:16,756 --> 00:37:17,713
TORETTI: I'm not implying.
790
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,411
It's just a fact.
791
00:37:19,498 --> 00:37:21,195
This is the perfect storm
for a copycat after
792
00:37:21,282 --> 00:37:24,764
thousands of hoax letters
over the past few months.
793
00:37:24,851 --> 00:37:27,810
Clumsily we're just throwing
the blame on Al-Qaeda.
794
00:37:31,292 --> 00:37:32,641
KARI: Uncle Matty!
795
00:37:32,728 --> 00:37:34,382
RYKER: Oh, hello, you.
796
00:37:34,469 --> 00:37:35,470
Happy birthday, girl!
797
00:37:35,557 --> 00:37:36,950
How are you?
798
00:37:37,037 --> 00:37:39,344
KARI: Good.
RYKER: Yeah? All right.
799
00:37:39,431 --> 00:37:41,259
Hey, I like you to
meet my friend, Sheila.
800
00:37:41,346 --> 00:37:42,477
KARI: Hi.
801
00:37:42,564 --> 00:37:44,479
WILLIS: Hi, happy birthday.
802
00:37:44,566 --> 00:37:46,133
RYKER: Look what I have.
803
00:37:46,220 --> 00:37:47,134
Look what I have here
for a special someone.
804
00:37:47,221 --> 00:37:48,788
KARI: Is it for me?
805
00:37:48,875 --> 00:37:50,137
RYKER: It is for you,
would you like it now?
806
00:37:50,224 --> 00:37:51,138
KARI: Yes.
RYKER: All right.
807
00:37:51,225 --> 00:37:52,270
Go ahead. Take it.
808
00:37:52,357 --> 00:37:53,749
KARI: Thank you.
809
00:37:53,836 --> 00:37:55,360
WILLIS: Wow.
810
00:37:55,447 --> 00:37:57,492
Valedictorian and
debate captain, huh?
811
00:37:57,579 --> 00:37:59,451
RYKER: Yeah, welcome
to our time capsule.
812
00:37:59,538 --> 00:38:01,061
[laughs]
813
00:38:01,148 --> 00:38:02,628
WILLIS: Oh, wow.
814
00:38:02,715 --> 00:38:04,107
How long did your dad serve?
815
00:38:04,194 --> 00:38:06,458
RYKER: Uh, about six years.
816
00:38:06,545 --> 00:38:07,763
He actually
wanted to stay longer,
817
00:38:07,850 --> 00:38:08,982
but he got sick.
818
00:38:09,069 --> 00:38:10,636
WILLIS: Oh.
819
00:38:10,723 --> 00:38:12,377
RYKER: Chemical exposure,
had to come home.
820
00:38:12,464 --> 00:38:14,248
WILLIS: I'm sorry.
821
00:38:14,335 --> 00:38:15,771
He looks really
happy in this picture.
822
00:38:15,858 --> 00:38:17,904
RYKER: Ah, he was
smiling for the photo.
823
00:38:17,991 --> 00:38:19,819
WOMAN: It's my Mattie!
824
00:38:19,906 --> 00:38:21,473
RYKER: Hi, mom.
825
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,910
WOMAN: Hello, sweetheart.
RYKER: Hey, you.
826
00:38:23,997 --> 00:38:25,259
JENNY: Come on here, loser.
827
00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:26,869
[laughs]
828
00:38:26,956 --> 00:38:28,480
RYKER: Uh, Jenny, Mom,
I would love you to
829
00:38:28,567 --> 00:38:30,220
meet Sheila Willis.
830
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:31,396
WOMAN: Hi, Sheila.
WILLIS: Hi, nice to meet you.
831
00:38:31,483 --> 00:38:32,832
WOMAN: So nice to meet you.
832
00:38:32,919 --> 00:38:34,964
WILLIS: Thank
you for inviting me.
833
00:38:35,051 --> 00:38:36,618
RYKER: We just, uh,
we're dropping by
on our way to dinner.
834
00:38:36,705 --> 00:38:38,185
JENNY: Oh, come on now,
we have plenty of food.
835
00:38:38,272 --> 00:38:40,013
RYKER: Uh, actually,
we have a reservation.
836
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:42,232
WOMAN: That's totally enough
time to get to know her.
837
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,409
WILLIS: Oh.
838
00:38:44,496 --> 00:38:46,802
WOMAN: You'll have to
come over for dinner.
839
00:38:46,889 --> 00:38:49,414
WILLIS: Oh, um, I'd like that.
Thank you.
840
00:38:49,501 --> 00:38:50,589
JENNY: So how long have you
two been seeing each other?
841
00:38:50,676 --> 00:38:52,417
RYKER: Hey, I have an idea.
842
00:38:52,504 --> 00:38:53,679
How about we save the
third degree until after cake?
843
00:38:53,766 --> 00:38:54,767
[laughs]
844
00:38:54,854 --> 00:38:56,551
JENNY: Come on back.
845
00:38:56,638 --> 00:38:57,509
We're about to play
pin-the-tail-on-the Shrek.
846
00:38:57,596 --> 00:38:59,119
WILLIS: Okay.
847
00:38:59,206 --> 00:39:00,555
JENNY: Which means
copious amounts of wine.
848
00:39:00,642 --> 00:39:01,904
- WILLIS: Oh.
- JENNY: I like copious.
849
00:39:04,951 --> 00:39:05,865
RYKER: Hey.
850
00:39:05,952 --> 00:39:06,996
DEVON: Hey.
851
00:39:09,651 --> 00:39:11,697
REPORTER [over TV]: There
are rumors circulating D.C.
852
00:39:11,784 --> 00:39:13,394
about a possible war in...
853
00:39:13,481 --> 00:39:14,830
RYKER: Sorry I
missed your game.
854
00:39:14,917 --> 00:39:16,092
DEVON: Didn't miss much.
855
00:39:16,179 --> 00:39:17,572
We got our asses handed to us.
856
00:39:17,659 --> 00:39:20,488
Dad thinks we
need a new coach.

RYKER: You heard
from him this week?
858
00:39:23,012 --> 00:39:24,318
DEVON: Called from the base.
859
00:39:24,405 --> 00:39:25,972
Said there's talk.
860
00:39:26,059 --> 00:39:28,017
Maybe they're going to
get deployed to Iraq.
861
00:39:30,933 --> 00:39:33,936
If we go after Saddam,
will we even get Al-Qaeda?
862
00:39:34,023 --> 00:39:35,721
All the terrorists
who did all this?
863
00:39:40,552 --> 00:39:43,076
RYKER: Your
dad's gonna be okay.
864
00:39:43,163 --> 00:39:45,078
DEVON: Is that what
they train you to tell us?

866
00:39:55,305 --> 00:39:58,308
REPORTER [over TV]:
Two more victims have
died of anthrax exposure.
867
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:00,876
Ottilie Lundgren
and Kathy Nguyen.
868
00:40:00,963 --> 00:40:03,488
Their cases are particularly
troubling as they have
869
00:40:03,575 --> 00:40:05,446
no connection to
the media, politics,
870
00:40:05,533 --> 00:40:07,796
or the U.S. Postal Service,
871
00:40:07,883 --> 00:40:09,624
which have so far
been the targets.
872
00:40:14,586 --> 00:40:16,849
RYKER: So you heard
about Lundgren and Nguyen?
873
00:40:16,936 --> 00:40:19,808
TORETTI: You're thinking
cross contamination?
874
00:40:19,895 --> 00:40:22,376
RYKER: I just found out that
Lundgren had a letter that
875
00:40:22,463 --> 00:40:26,249
went through the
DBCS machine at Brentwood
15 seconds after Leahy's.
876
00:40:26,336 --> 00:40:27,686
TORETTI: Well,
your hunch was right.
877
00:40:27,773 --> 00:40:29,470
And that powder was so fine,
878
00:40:29,557 --> 00:40:30,776
it just blasted itself
all through those machines,
879
00:40:30,863 --> 00:40:32,299
so it makes sense.
880
00:40:35,302 --> 00:40:37,826
RYKER: So tell me more
about your lone wolf theory.
881
00:40:39,785 --> 00:40:41,830
TORETTI: Finally
coming to your senses?
882
00:40:41,917 --> 00:40:44,093
RYKER: My senses
aren't in question.
883
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:45,704
I'm just curious.
884
00:40:45,791 --> 00:40:47,401
TORETTI: Okay.
885
00:40:47,488 --> 00:40:49,316
I've been working with
our handwriting analyst.
886
00:40:49,403 --> 00:40:52,058
We believe that the sender
tried to disguise his writing
887
00:40:52,145 --> 00:40:54,016
with this block lettering.
888
00:40:54,103 --> 00:40:56,628
Now, this is a penmanship
style that was taught to
889
00:40:56,715 --> 00:41:01,023
American schoolchildren from
the 1940s through the 1960s.
890
00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:02,721
RYKER: American,
born and raised.
891
00:41:02,808 --> 00:41:05,201
TORETTI: Next up is this
"take penicillin" bit.
892
00:41:05,288 --> 00:41:07,813
Somebody knows
enough to reference
a specific antibiotic,
893
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:09,684
but they don't
know how to spell it?
894
00:41:09,771 --> 00:41:12,382
And why would Al-Qaeda
warn their victims anyways?
895
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:14,167
RYKER: So "Allah is Great"
was a misdirect,
896
00:41:14,254 --> 00:41:15,603
to put the
focus on foreigners?
897
00:41:15,690 --> 00:41:17,866
TORETTI: Probably. Yeah.
898
00:41:17,953 --> 00:41:20,826
All signs point to
our perp being a highly
educated American citizen
899
00:41:20,913 --> 00:41:22,958
with scientific expertise.
900
00:41:23,045 --> 00:41:24,482
Most likely
works in isolation,
901
00:41:24,569 --> 00:41:26,309
suffers from mental illness.
902
00:41:26,396 --> 00:41:28,311
RYKER: Someone
spurred by 9/11,
903
00:41:28,398 --> 00:41:30,749
which is why the first
letters bore that date,
904
00:41:30,836 --> 00:41:32,620
despite being mailed later.
905
00:41:32,707 --> 00:41:34,187
TORETTI: I drew up
this profile to send to
906
00:41:34,274 --> 00:41:36,755
the American Society
of Microbiology.
907
00:41:36,842 --> 00:41:41,107
I suspect one of
their members knows or
908
00:41:41,194 --> 00:41:43,109
is the anthrax mailer.
909
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,202
RYKER: It's risky,
tipping off a suspect.
910
00:41:49,289 --> 00:41:52,553
TORETTI: Or it's a very
smart way to smoke him out.
911
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,120
RYKER: How many
members are there?
912
00:41:54,207 --> 00:41:55,295
TORETTI: 30,000.
913
00:41:55,382 --> 00:41:56,862
And if we get any hits,
914
00:41:56,949 --> 00:41:59,081
we send field agents
out to do interviews.
915
00:41:59,168 --> 00:42:01,127
RYKER: The Bureau's
interest is squarely
on terrorists, I doubt...
916
00:42:01,214 --> 00:42:03,521
TORETTI: I sent it through
my own channels already.
