00:18:51,986 --> 00:18:52,974
All right.

335
00:18:53,906 --> 00:18:55,801
I'm gonna rip the band-aid off quick.

336
00:18:56,516 --> 00:18:59,048
Most of you are TDY'd here for 60 days...

337
00:18:59,049 --> 00:19:00,858
Want to get you on the playing field,

338
00:19:01,316 --> 00:19:03,915
except of course for Tabby
whose been here for two years

339
00:19:03,916 --> 00:19:05,742
and somehow still shows up late.

340
00:19:05,916 --> 00:19:09,415
We are hunting the deadliest
serial bomber in history...

341
00:19:10,056 --> 00:19:11,365
The Unabomber.

342
00:19:12,149 --> 00:19:15,168
For 17 years he's been
planting and mailing bombs,

343
00:19:15,582 --> 00:19:18,815
16 bombs, three people
killed, dozens injured,

344
00:19:18,816 --> 00:19:21,715
and we really have no
friggin' clue who he is

345
00:19:21,716 --> 00:19:23,048
or why he's doing this.

346
00:19:23,049 --> 00:19:25,581
We call him the Unabomber
because his early targets

347
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:27,381
were universities and airlines...

348
00:19:27,382 --> 00:19:29,148
"Un" for "university,"

349
00:19:29,173 --> 00:19:31,419
"a" for "airline," Unabom.

350
00:19:32,051 --> 00:19:34,781
He calls himself "FC" for "Freedom Club."

351
00:19:34,782 --> 00:19:36,762
It's how he signs all his letters.

352
00:19:37,036 --> 00:19:38,969
It's also how he signs his bombs.

353
00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:41,253
17 years of bombs

354
00:19:41,404 --> 00:19:43,064
all signed by FC.

355
00:19:43,089 --> 00:19:44,254
He's a sick bastard.

356
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:48,002
Northwestern, 1978,
another one there in '79.

357
00:19:48,629 --> 00:19:50,918
November '79... nearly takes out

358
00:19:50,943 --> 00:19:53,135
American airlines flight 444.

359
00:19:53,136 --> 00:19:56,269
The bomb was sent via air mail
rigged with an altimeter...

360
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,602
22 passengers injured.

361
00:19:58,603 --> 00:20:01,075
1980, United Airlines president

362
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,069
gets his face blown in.

363
00:20:03,070 --> 00:20:06,169
More university bombs, '81, '82...

364
00:20:06,170 --> 00:20:09,269
Computer science professors,
engineering professors,

365
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:11,602
one poor secretary at Vanderbilt

366
00:20:11,603 --> 00:20:14,079
opened a package addressed to her boss.

367
00:20:14,545 --> 00:20:17,111
More universities in '82,

368
00:20:17,136 --> 00:20:20,186
'85, '85, Boeing in '85,

369
00:20:20,187 --> 00:20:23,453
two computer shops, '85 and '87.

370
00:20:24,196 --> 00:20:26,609
The second one, he
got his first fatality.

371
00:20:28,159 --> 00:20:31,286
And this is where we
got our first eyewitness.

372
00:20:32,658 --> 00:20:34,934
She gave us this now famous sketch,

373
00:20:35,347 --> 00:20:38,019
and then nothing for six years.

374
00:20:38,370 --> 00:20:41,919
So we figured he was dead
or maybe finally got laid.

375
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,180
[Laughter]

376
00:20:43,631 --> 00:20:45,053
But then he is back...

377
00:20:45,361 --> 00:20:47,819
Epstein at U.C., Gelernter at Yale.

378
00:20:48,297 --> 00:20:50,686
In his hiatus, he
developed much more powerful

379
00:20:50,687 --> 00:20:53,186
and sophisticated bombs,
and they keep coming.

380
00:20:53,587 --> 00:20:55,719
Exxon Valdez’s PR guy, Mosser,

381
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,953
and just last week, Gil
Murray in Sacramento.

382
00:20:58,954 --> 00:21:01,727
It took three body bags
to collect the parts.

383
00:21:04,468 --> 00:21:06,719
Why these targets? Why now?

384
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,953
No clue.

385
00:21:07,954 --> 00:21:09,952
So, what forensic leads do we have?

386
00:21:10,668 --> 00:21:12,791
Basically, we have no forensic leads.

387
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:15,386
No DNA, no prints.

388
00:21:16,095 --> 00:21:17,439
But we did have a couple good ideas.

389
00:21:17,487 --> 00:21:20,386
We discovered that he gets his
addresses out one particular

390
00:21:20,387 --> 00:21:23,553
edition of "Who's who," so
we interviewed just about

391
00:21:23,554 --> 00:21:26,086
every librarian in
the country... nothing.

392
00:21:27,088 --> 00:21:28,586
Makes his bombs out of junk,

393
00:21:28,587 --> 00:21:32,053
so we did a national
junkyard canvass... no dice.

394
00:21:32,761 --> 00:21:34,886
But we figure eventually
he is gonna screw up,

395
00:21:34,887 --> 00:21:36,219
and maybe he already did.

396
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,053
Over the years, he's been
mailing typed letters...

397
00:21:39,435 --> 00:21:42,419
Nothing worth reading until
this letter that he wrote

398
00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:43,886
to <i>the New York times.</i>

399
00:21:43,887 --> 00:21:45,986
Now, the letter itself is blah-blah-blah,

400
00:21:45,987 --> 00:21:48,586
but forensics found
this on the envelope...

401
00:21:49,078 --> 00:21:50,538
"Call Nathan R."

402
00:21:50,752 --> 00:21:52,219
We figure he wrote himself a post-it note

403
00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:53,453
on top of the letter.

404
00:21:53,868 --> 00:21:56,408
And that is our first real lead.

405
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,487
FBI agents are
interviewing everyone called

406
00:21:58,487 --> 00:22:00,781
"Nathan R-something" in the country.

407
00:22:00,982 --> 00:22:03,953
Plan B is to find Nathans
with "R" middle names.

408
00:22:04,439 --> 00:22:06,019
10,000 Nathan Rs.

409
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:07,819
And that is it.

410
00:22:08,153 --> 00:22:09,586
Enjoy your afternoons.

411
00:22:10,552 --> 00:22:12,241
Don't forget to tip your driver.

412
00:22:14,195 --> 00:22:15,723
It's not much to go on.

413
00:22:16,195 --> 00:22:17,235
Nope.

414
00:22:17,763 --> 00:22:18,853
This is why they need us.

415
00:22:18,854 --> 00:22:21,186
The profile's gonna
focus the entire search.

416
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:24,319
It's a big responsibility.

417
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,419
It's exciting. Yeah, right?

418
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:28,190
Mildly.

419
00:22:28,303 --> 00:22:31,065
Come on. S.A.C. Ackerman
wants to meet you.

420
00:22:32,302 --> 00:22:33,353
It's an honor, sir.

421
00:22:33,354 --> 00:22:34,953
I feel privileged to
be under your command.

422
00:22:34,954 --> 00:22:36,753
I studied your cases at the academy...

423
00:22:36,754 --> 00:22:39,086
The Russian river killer,
Hartford abduction.

424
00:22:39,087 --> 00:22:40,553
Under any other agent,
that would have ended

425
00:22:40,554 --> 00:22:43,012
in a murder-suicide, and, agent Cole,

426
00:22:43,591 --> 00:22:46,242
Ohio Seven Sting, busting
the Bad Axe Militia.

427
00:22:47,036 --> 00:22:48,677
I can't believe I'm standing here.

428
00:22:49,322 --> 00:22:51,091
I am... I'm eager to learn form you both.

429
00:22:51,361 --> 00:22:53,553
[Chuckling] Well, I
love this guy already.

430
00:22:53,554 --> 00:22:56,219
So, Fitz, we sent Genelli
to bring back the best man

431
00:22:56,220 --> 00:22:58,464
he could find, and that is you.

432
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:00,019
Welcome aboard.

433
00:23:00,313 --> 00:23:03,707
And here is what you're
gonna be working on.

434
00:23:05,864 --> 00:23:08,586
Stan: Low I.Q., formerly
employed by an airline mechanic

435
00:23:08,587 --> 00:23:11,019
or technician, no higher education,

436
00:23:11,020 --> 00:23:13,308
possibly little to no high school,

437
00:23:13,690 --> 00:23:16,729

or Cincinnati likely...

438
00:23:16,927 --> 00:23:18,697
Currently resides in the bay area.

439
00:23:19,744 --> 00:23:21,119
So, what is this?

440
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,326
It's our current profile,
my own summary of it.

441
00:23:25,554 --> 00:23:26,586
Where's the rest of it?

442
00:23:26,587 --> 00:23:28,319
That's exactly why you're here.

443
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,719
I want you to take that, flesh it out.

444
00:23:31,405 --> 00:23:33,686
I'm gonna need 15 pages
that can directly on

445
00:23:33,687 --> 00:23:36,119
Attorney General Janet Reno's desk.

446
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:38,369
So make us look good.

447
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:42,553
Yeah, I will. I will. I'll do my best.

448
00:23:42,554 --> 00:23:44,153
It's just a little
different than I'm used to,

449
00:23:44,154 --> 00:23:46,386
'cause in terms of a profile,
they were a lot more scientific

450
00:23:46,387 --> 00:23:48,086
and a little bit longer.

451
00:23:48,087 --> 00:23:49,653
Welcome to the real world.

452
00:23:50,134 --> 00:23:52,086
Quantico's a long way away.

453
00:23:52,719 --> 00:23:54,854
What S.S.A. Cole means
is that that summary

454
00:23:54,879 --> 00:23:57,344
is a distillation of 10 years work,

455
00:23:57,789 --> 00:24:00,587
so it's got a solid foundation
and we don't expect it

456
00:24:00,587 --> 00:24:03,153
to change except for the wood thing.

457
00:24:03,154 --> 00:24:04,189
Mm.

458
00:24:04,571 --> 00:24:05,886
The wood thing?

459
00:24:05,887 --> 00:24:08,553
There's a theory FC
is obsessed with wood.

460
00:24:08,554 --> 00:24:11,631
Maybe he has erectile dysfunction.

461
00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:13,986
Since he blew up this
Mosser guy... moss...

462
00:24:13,987 --> 00:24:17,553
It's like a plant, so that
can go in your profile now.

463
00:24:17,554 --> 00:24:20,119
That's gonna play very,
very well with the press,

464
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,619
so I want you to dress that up a bit,

465
00:24:22,620 --> 00:24:26,553
uh, "a propensity for softness
in the genital region,"

466
00:24:26,554 --> 00:24:28,563
something like that... But nothing crude.

467
00:24:31,052 --> 00:24:33,042
I can definitely do something.

468
00:24:34,467 --> 00:24:36,138
I was excepting a support team.

469
00:24:36,163 --> 00:24:37,986
Nope. It's all you, Fitz.

470
00:24:38,361 --> 00:24:39,686
But I know you can handle it.

471
00:24:40,451 --> 00:24:41,453
Okay.

472
00:24:42,093 --> 00:24:45,019
15 pages, clean, no typos, and wood,

473

What's the first trap we
watch for as profilers?

504
00:26:24,112 --> 00:26:25,631
Inherited assumptions.

505
00:26:25,632 --> 00:26:28,864
So all these preconceptions
we just toss out,

506

We know nothing about nothing about FC

508
00:26:31,765 --> 00:26:33,664
except what the evidence tells us,

509
00:26:34,083 --> 00:26:36,232
so if we don't assume
that he's a airline worker,

510
00:26:36,232 --> 00:26:37,631
what else points to Cincinnati?

511
00:26:38,481 --> 00:26:40,183
All the bombs that he
planted at the universities...

512
00:26:40,208 --> 00:26:42,207
Was it because he's a resentful outsider

513
00:26:42,232 --> 00:26:43,764
or because that's
where he felt most safe?

And here... All right? Okay.

When he talked down on
people with advanced degrees,

516
00:26:49,572 --> 00:26:51,797
is he actually low I.Q.
with no higher education,

517
00:26:51,798 --> 00:26:53,597
or is he really smart, maybe
he has a bunch of degrees

518
00:26:53,598 --> 00:26:55,464
and knows we're gonna read
this letter and is hoping

519
00:26:55,465 --> 00:26:57,117
that we don't think too hard about it?
