346
00:20:50,379 --> 00:20:52,729
LIVINGSTON: Even with
all these minds and brains,
347
00:20:52,816 --> 00:20:56,690
accidents are often how the
biggest breakthroughs happen.
348
00:20:56,777 --> 00:20:59,301
RYKER: If we can identify
a specific morph in the spores
349
00:20:59,388 --> 00:21:01,825
of the attack letters then match
it to the subpoenaed samples,
350
00:21:01,912 --> 00:21:03,653
we've got our smoking gun.
351
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:05,351
LIVINGSTON: Once I can
get back into the BSL4 lab,
352
00:21:05,438 --> 00:21:07,614
I will forward
you my findings.
353
00:21:07,701 --> 00:21:09,050
RYKER: What do you
mean back into the lab?
354
00:21:09,137 --> 00:21:11,052
LIVINGSTON:
Well, we had a spill.
355
00:21:11,139 --> 00:21:12,836
Bruce surprised me,
356
00:21:12,923 --> 00:21:14,534
I didn't see him so
I knocked over a tray.
357
00:21:14,621 --> 00:21:16,318
RYKER: Wait.
Dr. Ivins was there?
358
00:21:16,405 --> 00:21:17,928
[sighs]
359
00:21:18,015 --> 00:21:19,626
LIVINGSTON: He's been
pretty edgy lately,
360
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:22,672
sees me as a traitor for
working with the Bureau.
361
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:24,631
RYKER: Did he leave
the lab with you?
362
00:21:24,718 --> 00:21:26,720
LIVINGSTON: No, he took it
upon himself to decon the area
363
00:21:26,807 --> 00:21:28,591
and some nearby offices.
364
00:21:28,678 --> 00:21:30,289
RYKER: Including his?
LIVINGSTON: Yeah.
365
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:32,378
Brought in a whole team.
366
00:21:32,465 --> 00:21:36,251
It's a little overboard if
you ask me but that's Bruce.
367
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:38,819
RYKER: Our number one
suspect just cleaned
up his own crime scene.
368
00:21:38,906 --> 00:21:40,864
I got to bring
in Ivins tonight.
369
00:21:40,951 --> 00:21:42,736
TORETTI: What? No.
370
00:21:42,823 --> 00:21:44,912
We don't have enough
ammo to confront him.
371
00:21:44,999 --> 00:21:48,437
RYKER: He could
literally be destroying
evidence as we speak.
372
00:21:48,524 --> 00:21:51,571
TORETTI: Let me just try to dig
up something from his past,
373
00:21:51,658 --> 00:21:55,009
something that can push
his buttons, uh, a motive.
374
00:21:55,096 --> 00:21:57,490
RYKER: Go ahead and track down
his childhood sled if you want.
375
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:59,492
If he knows
we're circling him,
376
00:21:59,579 --> 00:22:01,450
the cleanup
might not end here.
377
00:22:01,537 --> 00:22:03,670
He could head home and destroy
anything incriminating.
378
00:22:03,757 --> 00:22:06,020
TORETTI: We may only have one
shot at a confession here and
379
00:22:06,107 --> 00:22:07,848
he is not primed for it.
380
00:22:07,935 --> 00:22:09,545
RYKER: And if we
give him more time,
381
00:22:09,632 --> 00:22:11,591
we may lose any chance
we have at nailing him.
382
00:22:11,678 --> 00:22:15,377
He's making rash moves,
I'm ordering a polygraph.
383
00:22:15,464 --> 00:22:17,510
TORETTI: If you're
determined to do this,
384
00:22:17,597 --> 00:22:20,948
the way in has to be
through his hero's complex.
385
00:22:21,035 --> 00:22:22,689
He wants to
prove how smart he is.
386
00:22:22,776 --> 00:22:24,212
We get him talking...
387
00:22:24,299 --> 00:22:25,169
RYKER: It's not my
first interrogation,
388
00:22:25,256 --> 00:22:26,214
I got it.
389
00:22:26,301 --> 00:22:28,172
[phone line rings]
390
00:22:28,259 --> 00:22:29,522
DISPATCH [over phone]:
Lebanon PD, how can I help?
391
00:22:29,609 --> 00:22:31,828
TORETTI: Agent
Toretti FBI here,
392
00:22:31,915 --> 00:22:35,092
I am looking for some
information on a former
resident, Bruce Ivins.
393
00:22:35,179 --> 00:22:39,445
I'd be interested in anything
from his early years in Ohio,
394
00:22:39,532 --> 00:22:41,534
should narrow your search
down to '50s and '60s.
395
00:22:41,621 --> 00:22:43,013
DISPATCH [over phone]:
I'll see what I can find.
396
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:44,624
TORETTI: Okay, um,
I'll actually hold.
397
00:22:44,711 --> 00:22:45,755
DISPATCH [over phone]:
No problem.
398
00:22:56,679 --> 00:22:59,073
[door opens]
399
00:23:00,683 --> 00:23:02,990
RYKER: Dr. Ivins?
IVINS: Yeah.
400
00:23:12,869 --> 00:23:14,654
[clears throat]
401
00:23:17,657 --> 00:23:20,224
IVINS [over TV]: I
hear you're one of us.
402
00:23:20,311 --> 00:23:22,444
IVINS: A microbiologist.
403
00:23:22,531 --> 00:23:25,360
RYKER: I am.
404
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:28,363
IVINS: A microbiologist
in the FBI.
405
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:30,191
Neat.
406
00:23:32,889 --> 00:23:34,543
RYKER: Uh, before they
administer the polygraph,
407
00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:36,632
I thought I'd ask you
a few questions about
408
00:23:36,719 --> 00:23:38,808
the samples you
submitted to us.
409
00:23:38,895 --> 00:23:41,202
IVINS: Oh, yeah.
410
00:23:41,289 --> 00:23:44,684
Well, I already got
an earful about my misstep.
411
00:23:46,250 --> 00:23:47,774
RYKER: So you
intentionally submitted
412
00:23:47,861 --> 00:23:49,950
inadequate anthrax
samples under subpoena?
413
00:23:50,037 --> 00:23:52,300
IVINS: Yes.
414
00:23:52,387 --> 00:23:56,609
But only because
the slants you guys
requested were inferior.
415
00:23:56,696 --> 00:23:59,394
RYKER: And the weeks
leading up to September
18th, 2001, uh,
416
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:01,831
the postmark date of
the first attack letter,
417
00:24:01,918 --> 00:24:07,054
did you work extra hours,
unaccompanied hours in the
418
00:24:07,141 --> 00:24:11,711
BSL4 lab with
Bacillus Anthracis Ames?
419
00:24:11,798 --> 00:24:15,149
IVINS: After 9/11 everyone
at USAMRIID was working late.
420
00:24:19,414 --> 00:24:21,547
RYKER: You recognize
this post office?
421
00:24:21,634 --> 00:24:24,463
IVINS: Yeah.
422
00:24:24,550 --> 00:24:26,726
RYKER: Did you ever purchase
pre-stamped envelopes
423
00:24:26,813 --> 00:24:28,815
at this post office?
424
00:24:28,902 --> 00:24:30,556
IVINS: A couple
of times I guess.
425
00:24:33,776 --> 00:24:38,259
RYKER: What about this email,
426
00:24:38,346 --> 00:24:41,392
referencing anthrax
and Saddam Hussein?
427
00:24:45,788 --> 00:24:47,747
IVINS: You read
my personal emails?
428
00:24:51,446 --> 00:24:53,013
You know that was a joke?
429
00:24:57,408 --> 00:24:59,019
RYKER: What about these?
430
00:25:03,589 --> 00:25:05,199
Did you do this, Dr. Ivins?
431
00:25:08,463 --> 00:25:10,421
IVINS: You talked to Nancy?
432
00:25:12,162 --> 00:25:13,468
[scoffs]
433
00:25:16,036 --> 00:25:19,561
How is a stupid thing
that I did 20 years ago
at all relevant?
434
00:25:21,128 --> 00:25:22,825
Okay. Fine, yes.
435
00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:29,484
When I was younger, I had
obsessive behaviors linked
to sororities specifically,
436
00:25:29,571 --> 00:25:31,312
Kappa Kappa Gamma, of which
437
00:25:31,399 --> 00:25:33,140
Nancy Haigwood was an alumna.
438
00:25:35,055 --> 00:25:37,536
Is it peculiar? Yes.
439
00:25:37,623 --> 00:25:40,234
Can I explain it? Nope.
440
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:45,065
Happy?
441
00:25:52,725 --> 00:25:54,944
You know, that's not
the only thing I did.
442
00:25:57,643 --> 00:26:01,255
RYKER: What else, Dr. Ivins?
443
00:26:01,342 --> 00:26:03,910
IVINS: I let myself
into a sorority house,
444
00:26:03,997 --> 00:26:06,347
two actually.
445
00:26:06,434 --> 00:26:10,656
I stole their ritual book
and a cypher to decode it.
446
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:13,789
No one ever suspected me.
447
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,533
But I didn't hurt anyone.
448
00:26:21,884 --> 00:26:24,017
See, I'm not hiding anything.
449
00:26:25,409 --> 00:26:27,020
RYKER: Aren't you?
450
00:26:27,107 --> 00:26:29,457
Didn't you email a colleague,
451
00:26:29,544 --> 00:26:34,244
another friend on
numerous occasions
about a different, Bruce?
452
00:26:34,331 --> 00:26:37,726
Saying that you
were concerned about
your psychological state.
453
00:26:39,772 --> 00:26:44,298
Did you ever experience
extreme anxiety, dissociation?
454
00:26:49,042 --> 00:26:50,739
IVINS: I know
what you're doing.
455
00:26:55,309 --> 00:27:02,185
Look, I may not be
the most popular guy.
456
00:27:02,272 --> 00:27:06,668
There might even be
a few people who have said
I'm odd behind my back.
457
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:11,934
But does that
make me a killer?
458
00:27:12,021 --> 00:27:16,896
I mean, when are
you guys gonna realize
I'm here to help you?
459
00:27:23,032 --> 00:27:25,382
Yes. Fine, yes.
460
00:27:43,923 --> 00:27:45,881
How'd you even
end up doing this,
461
00:27:47,927 --> 00:27:52,235
a microbiologist in the FBI?
462
00:27:52,322 --> 00:27:54,934
Pathogen biology is
a pretty competitive field.
463
00:27:55,021 --> 00:27:57,197
We can't all
be the ones making
scientific breakthroughs,
464
00:27:57,284 --> 00:27:58,851
I suppose, but.
465
00:27:58,938 --> 00:28:00,374
RYKER: I wanted
to serve my country.
466
00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:04,595
IVINS: Is that what
you tell yourself?
467
00:28:08,164 --> 00:28:10,297
IVINS [over TV]:
Because I can't
imagine going in and see...
468
00:28:10,384 --> 00:28:12,038
MOORE: Ryker's already
burned through most of
what we've got on him.
469
00:28:12,125 --> 00:28:13,387
IVINS [over TV]:
Of wearing a suit at a desk.
470
00:28:13,474 --> 00:28:15,171
MOORE: You know,
silver bullets.
471
00:28:15,258 --> 00:28:16,390
RYKER [over TV]:
That's not for everybody.
472
00:28:16,477 --> 00:28:18,218
IVINS [over TV]: Oh, okay.
473
00:28:18,305 --> 00:28:20,394
TORETTI: Maybe a splinter,
enough to irritate him and
474
00:28:20,481 --> 00:28:22,135
get his walls down.
475
00:28:22,222 --> 00:28:24,441
IVINS [over TV]:
I am curious, though.
476
00:28:24,528 --> 00:28:27,880
What went wrong with your
dissertation, Agent Ryker?
477
00:28:27,967 --> 00:28:30,186
IVINS: Mistaking a eukaryotic
cell for a prokaryotic?
478
00:28:30,273 --> 00:28:32,667
[laughter]
479
00:28:34,321 --> 00:28:36,671
I knew plenty of guys
like you in college.
480
00:28:36,758 --> 00:28:39,413
RYKER: Is that right?
IVINS: Oh, yeah.
481
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:41,937
TORETTI: Ivins is
feeling empowered.
482
00:28:42,024 --> 00:28:43,852
IVINS [over TV]: I can
tell half a dozen in the
halls around the labs...
483
00:28:43,939 --> 00:28:46,202
TORETTI: He should get him to
open up and if he loosens up
484
00:28:46,289 --> 00:28:48,509
then maybe I can get some
answers about his past.
485
00:28:48,596 --> 00:28:52,774
IVINS [over TV]: This guy
is just, you know, smart.
486
00:28:52,861 --> 00:28:55,298
IVINS: But it didn't matter
how hard they studied,
487
00:28:55,385 --> 00:28:58,911
they just didn't
have the imagination.
488
00:29:01,087 --> 00:29:04,873
It does take
a unique blend of talents,
489
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:10,400
plus a willingness to
skate on the edge which
490
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:12,576
I'm guessing is
difficult for you.
491
00:29:14,796 --> 00:29:20,106
But hey, would a sane
person tie a key to
a kite in a thunderstorm?
492
00:29:23,022 --> 00:29:24,458
RYKER: You know that
Franklin didn't actually
493
00:29:24,545 --> 00:29:26,852
fly the kite in
that storm, right?
494
00:29:26,939 --> 00:29:28,505
He had his son do it.
495
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,945
Even noble people do
unforgivable things,
496
00:29:33,032 --> 00:29:34,642
don't they?
497
00:29:36,296 --> 00:29:39,429
IVINS: You're
missing my point.
498
00:29:39,516 --> 00:29:42,345
Are you familiar with
the Stentor Roeselii?
499
00:29:42,432 --> 00:29:46,132
It's a single-celled
ciliate micro-organism
capable of making intelligent,
500
00:29:46,219 --> 00:29:48,047
complex decisions
all without the help
501
00:29:48,134 --> 00:29:50,440
of a central nervous system.
502
00:29:50,527 --> 00:29:53,269
Zero support.
503
00:29:53,356 --> 00:29:57,012
No other organism on earth
has such an innate gift.
504
00:29:57,099 --> 00:29:59,885
RYKER: Is that how
you see yourself?
505
00:29:59,972 --> 00:30:03,845
Some sort of
gifted Stentor Roeselii?
506
00:30:03,932 --> 00:30:07,196
What does that
make guys like me?
507
00:30:07,283 --> 00:30:10,547
IVINS: Plasmodial slime mold?
508
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:14,595
Think about it,
I know most Americans
aren't paying attention,
509
00:30:14,682 --> 00:30:18,729
but you guys had signs,
that 9/11 was gonna happen.
510
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:23,909
Flight lessons, a warning
of an attack on New York.
511
00:30:23,996 --> 00:30:26,781
And now, you can't figure
out who sent these letters.
512
00:30:26,868 --> 00:30:28,652
