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.

Test it yourself.

You see that pale area there,

that's bacterial overgrowth,

could be endocarditis.

All other evidence was destroyed.

Under whose authority?

The Kremlin.

And you can confirm this man

was killed by an
incident at Compound 19?

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.

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

My understanding was
to attach it to warheads

for SS-18 ICBMs.

How many pounds could you produce?

In each year, about 300 pounds,

aerosolized spores.

How bad?

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...

The location of the stockpiles.

If they're going to offer you asylum,

they'll need more.

Exact formulas, locations,

proof that Russia broke our treaty.

Of course, of course.

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

you are looking in the wrong place.

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.

We're almost there.

Difficulty breathing, vitals unstable.

BP 60 over 40.

0.3 milligrams of
epinephrine. Any heart issues?

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.

This doesn't present like the flu.

Get Dr. Bush down here.

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.

Back to the slides.

As you can see here, Miami Dade County

should be expecting
a spike in infections.

This is Officer Clemons.

From where?

What do you think the likelihood is?

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

- Looked like bamboo sticks.
- Sally?

Stain was gram positive.

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

And the patient?

Blood pressure bottomed-out.

Organs are failing.

Still don't have an affirmative
result, but considering...

I thought you should be in the loop.

Does the guy work in agriculture?

Don't know.

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

Do you think this could
have been intentional?

In a cushy retirement town?

With all the fake threats
we've been fielding,

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

It's an infection from a natural cause.

Look, um...

I hate to open the door but

you better call the FBI.

- Hey, Agent Ryker.
- Hey.

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

as soon as possible.

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

Uh, they just finished
shoring up the new section.

I got new access.

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.

The cell outside Dallas?

We're using FISA but no specific threat

has surfaced so far.

What about the three in Chicago?

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.

- Trying?
- It was sent through a series of servers, sir.

It makes it hard to track.

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?
- 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.

You have a definitive test?

We have a preliminary CSF stain

gram-positive for rod-like bacteria.

English.

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.

Like the one in Toledo?

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

College jock wrote anthrax
on his protein powder

so his roommates wouldn't use it.

The patient lives in Boca Raton.

Just 'cause two hijackers lived there

- doesn't mean there's a connection.
- 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.

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?

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.

Dr. Simon Kurz.

Dr. Kurz, this is Special Agent Ryker.

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

- I need a favor.
- No problem.

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.

Of course, Agent Ryker.

- We'll get right on it.
- Thanks.

Bruce, we got some samples
coming in from Florida.

- Not it!
- But they need the anthrax expert.

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.

At least ask for Nike Shox.

Are those all the rage?

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

Really?

It wasn't me who benched you on anthrax.

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!

Bruce, can you just run the test?

- Of course I can.
- Thank you.

You can just put my Nike
Shox in the locker room.

- Mrs. Stevens?
- Yes.

Do you have a minute?

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

And Bob seemed healthy
before he reached Carolina?

Completely.

On the drive, we were
planning our anniversary party.

He was excited to have all
the kids together again.

Any stops along the way?

A diner on Highway 26.

Did he eat any strange
food, unusual game?

Just pastrami.

Any other stops?

We did a little shopping.

Some dress shoes.

- Were they leather?
- Yes.

It's a big anniversary
and I was determined

not to have him in a suit and sneakers.

Do you know if the shoes were handmade?

Where they came from?

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

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?

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

Did he eat or drink
anything on the hike?

I told him not to drink the water,

but he didn't listen.

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.

What is this?

The doctors haven't given me an update.

We're not sure.

He's going to be all
right though, isn't he?

Matthew?

Last beer, you mind?

Uh-uh.

I only get them for you, so,

usually stock up for a bi-monthly visit,

but four nights this week.

Too much?

Just unusual.

Eodi gasseo?

What?

Just looks like you have
a lot going on up there.

Yeah.

Nobody wants to talk to a lobbyist.

I know that you're
not big on chit-chat,

but I could wait you out.

What was that, um,

thing in Korean you said earlier?

Um, eodi gasseo?

Taught you that one before.

Where did you go?

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

Matthew.

Names, addresses even.

The FBI, well they watch over, what,

thousands of potential terrorists?

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.

- Jesus. -
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.

How much of this did you know?

I didn't.

Hey, we are all bleeding a little, okay?

- A lot.
- After what I saw I...

- It can't happen again.
- Matthew,

you are not responsible for any of this.

You are not the only one that's
supposed to see things coming.

But what if I do this time?

And no one listens?

Ryker.

I know, Robert.

We're just overstretched and...

Yes, yes, of course we all are.

I was hoping to have the
comm report today, but, uh...

Team needs more time...

_

Once we arrive at the Stevens house,

we'll suit up in here.

Then we'll go into the back door.

The less attention we draw, the better.

Possible contact point here.

Okay, this surface is good.

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.

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.

What are the chances that you're wrong,

that this wasn't a planned attack?

Just a natural infection
from environmental sources?

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.

Intentionally?

What do you... Weaponized?
Against a small beach town?

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.

So probably Haznawi
was handling the stuff.

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.

Do you remember the view, Bob?

I'd never seen Fall colors so beautiful.

Oh!

And this, I just tripped
and you grabbed my arm!

Hey Mom, I can do that for a while, huh?

Oh.

Oh!

Aw.

I'd like to speak to
herself, if that's okay?

Who are those people?

Hospital administration.

Why would they...

What's happening?

They wanna be certain Bob's
getting everything he needs.

Is he going to survive?

We're making every effort.

Now I know you're
going to wanna go home,

get some rest, get something to eat.

So they've arranged
for you to have this.

If there's any change
in Bob's condition,

the hospital will
contact you immediately.

You know what it is, don't you?

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

Bob was exposed to a bacteria
called bacillus anthracis.

Anthrax. I'm very sorry, Mrs. Stevens.

Oh.

When did you all know?

We had some indications yesterday,

but we wanted confirmation.

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

He's my husband!

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.

Everyone else?

Uh, the Centers for Disease Control

has just confirmed the
diagnosis of anthrax

in a patient in a Florida hospital.

We were given, from what you to know,

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

It appears that this is
just an isolated case.

There's no evidence of terrorism.

Hi, Mom.

Hey listen, I just wanted
to call and let you know

that I'm not gonna be able to
make it to dinner tomorrow night,

uh, or to Devon's game.

Oh! He's really gonna miss you

cheering in those stands.

You know, you have really
stepped up with his dad away.

- Will you fill in for me?
- Of course!

- Is everything okay?
- I'm just in the middle of something at work.

God, you work so hard.

Always have.

But listen, uh, I gotta go, uh,

I gotta catch a plane to Florida.

- I'll call you when I get...
- Florida?

Is that about that anthrax thing?

How did you know?

The guy is talking about it on TV.

The information that we have surging

that this took place
in the State of Florida.

I'll call you back, okay?

Information that the State
of Florida has released.

We have our CDC officials
there on the ground

and they're going to go through, uh,

the last couple of weeks.

We've also dispatched people from CDC

to North Carolina

- to the communities that...
- Dammit!

They couldn't give us a
few more hours lead time?

Investigating with the
FBI all known places.

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

in the state descends on us.

This soon after 9/11?

Seems early to rule out terrorism.

All right. They specifically
mentioned an inhalation case.

- Mm-hmm.
- 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.

Yes, Mr. Brokaw.

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...

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!

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

Or stand-up.

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

It shocks you that the
politicals on the Hill

confused their facts?

Chances of only one person coming down

with an inhalation
case are slim to none.

You are absolutely correct, Jody.

"Jodyness is next to godliness."

We are of one mind.

If it's in the air,

there's no way this guy's
the only one breathing it.

Unless he's a total hermit.

Very aggressive.

And I wanna point out once again,

this is an isolated case,
and it's not contagious.

Hey, did someone just pass
you guys in the hallway?

- No, didn't see anyone.
- Really?

Jean Malecki.

Palm Beach County Health Department.

Matthew Ryker, FBI Hazardous Materials.

I'm over here.

Any change in Stevens' condition?

He's in a coma.

Don't quite know how to tell his wife

he's not likely to come out of it.

That press conference
didn't help things.

Well, the White House
was just trying to get out

in front of the press
vultures to curb public panic.

- Good luck with that these days.
- Yeah.

Is Stevens on Cipro?

As soon as he was admitted,

but the infection was pretty
advanced by the time he came in.

I'll have you there in 30.

We're going to the hospital?

We need to check on Stevens.

And CDC's already testing
everything at his home.

They're not gonna find anything.

I need you to drop me at this address.

Leisure Village?

I looked into Bob Stevens.

There's absolutely
nothing in his background

that would make him
a target for anything.

Except that he works at AMI Publishing.

You know, those tabloids,

The Sun, The National Inquirer.

We found a connection between AMI

and two of the 9/11 hijackers.

You think this is Al Qaeda?

Afternoon. I'm Special
Agent Matthew Ryker.

Am I speaking with Gloria Irish?

Mike! They're back again!

Just to confirm, you're
the realtor who helped with

and the apartment rental
for al-Shehhi and al-Ghamdi?

I had no idea what they were planning.

Come on in.

But we told the other FBI agents
everything three weeks ago.

Did you ever mention your husband

to either al-Shehhi
or al-Ghamdi?

- I'm sorry, I don't understand...
- I never met them.

Uh, I don't know. I,

I might've mentioned him.

While you were talking,
did you ever mention

- where your husband worked?
- Could you tell us what's going on?

Bob Stevens worked for you at AMI.

Is this about the anthrax
business in the news,

thought they said he caught it outdoors?

Oh, well, they may have jumped the gun.

Did you know the two terrorists

had a subscription to
the National Inquirer?

And the number of photos
of Bin Laden your paper

put on its front page may
have prompted the attack?

You might have been the target.

Oh my God!

Have you received any threats recently?

Terrorists love publicity.

They want everyone to know
whenever they're responsible.

No. Nothing. I'd remember
a threat like that.

Have any other employees
called out sick this past week?

Let me make a call.

Yeah, Frank. Hi, it's Mike.

Can you tell me if any one of...

I just keep thinking
what if I had noticed

something about those men?

Well, none of us ever wants
to see the worst in people.

Yup. It's still there. Yeah.

Okay. Bye.

One guy is out today.

First sick day in seven years.

Ernesto Blanco.

- You Agent Ryker?
- Clemons?

We spoke in June. CDC
Infectious Diseases, right?

Epidemic Intelligence.

They were supposed to
send you here an hour ago.

We're in the middle of
swabbing the Stevens's place...

I know, that's gonna come up clean.

- How do you know?
- Because we found a second worker.

This one passed out on a city bus.

Went to the hospital a few hours ago,

symptoms point to anthrax.

And since I doubt that both Bob Stevens

and Ernesto Blanco tracked
anthrax into this building...

- The source of the infection is inside.
- We need to find it.

Not just how, but whoever
the hell is behind it.

Remind your team that
everything here is evidence.

Anyone evacuate the staff?

- Not yet.
- Okay.

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.

No one knows what's hot in there.

We shouldn't take any chances.

- I got a suit for you around back.
- I've had all three shots.

And every minute that staff
is inside is another minute

that they could be exposed.

Mine's from Cindy Crawford's stalker.

Yours any better?

Hey, Steph, what's in your goody-bag?

Oh.

Oh, it's from Jason.

He has this thing for
sending me mix CDs.

He promised me he'd get me an iPod

so I don't have to lug
this baby around anymore.

May I have your attention!

My name is Special Agent Ryker, FBI.

For your safety, I
need everyone to stand

and calmly exit the building.

Leave everything on your desks.

Do not take purses, glasses, pens.

Everything stays.

- Oh, my God.
- Do you think this is about Bob?

- Probably.
- Oh, man.

- Okay. Let's go.
- No need to be alarmed.

This is a precautionary measure.

I got it over here.

Bob Stevens' mailbox is blazing.

Definitely looking at a letter
or package as a mode of attack.

You find anything?

No mail with any powder residue.

But the prelims show
that a ventilation system

above one desk contaminated with spores.

- That's Stevens, yeah?
- Uh, no, no, afraid not.

Belonged to one of his clerks.

What's their name?

Stephanie Dailey.

In Florida today,

the FBI has been scouring
through the offices

of a company which
publishes tabloid newspapers.

Investigators are taking no chances.

Going through decontamination

as they try to pinpoint
the source of anthrax.

Hundreds of AMI workers

are being screened
for signs of bacteria.

Yeah, we said they could invite
their families in to get tested.

Glue yourself to the
health and safety manager,

report back the second
anyone tests positive.

You got it.

I need your help finding someone.

You and everyone else in here.

We're understaffed. We have no idea.

You didn't wanna run
this through a hospital?

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?

Seriously?

This is the place they did the re-count?

- Name?
- Stephanie Dailey.

I'm Special Agent Matthew Ryker.

Can I have a word, in private?

Yeah.

We've been testing
samples at your offices

and we found anthrax spores at your desk

and the vent above it.

- Oh my God.
- Why don't you take a seat?

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

I just need to know whether you
remember opening any packages

or letters with a white powder inside.

Um, we publish The Sun and The Enquirer.

We always get kooky mail.

Well, this would've been a week ago,

two at the most.

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.

Okay, what did you do with that package?

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

Well, even if it went into the trash,

- I have a team of...
- 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.
- None of us have said that.

But just as a precaution,

we will start you on an antibiotic
called Cipro, same as Bob.

Cipro.

It's a newer drug, so if the
anthrax has been weaponized,

this will knock it out.

Okay?

- Okay.
- I know this is scary.

But I really think you're gonna be fine.

Thank, thank you.

Hey, you okay, Mom?

No, no, no.

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.

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?

That's Nightly News for this Thursday.

I'm Tom Brokaw and I'll see
you again tomorrow night.

Thanks.

Here you go, boy,

there you go.

Erin? What's wrong?

I was doing the research
you asked for anthrax and

I don't think AMI was
the only media attack.

What do you mean?

The doctor thought it was
just a spider bite, but...

This is now a murder investigation!

Domestic terrorism.

CDC, they got no business
getting in our way.

Get them out of there!

We're only gonna make things worse

if we piss on our territory, sir.

Let's give them a day,
we're working fine down here.

Ry, Ryker, stop!

We all know this didn't come
from someone's pet llama.

You called it! It's an attack.

If it falls under
Operation Noble Eagle now.

This is Bush's baby

and he'll be watching this closely.

I need you to catch who did this.

Bureau needs it, you got it?

Yup.

You can't lock us out!

I had a team on the ground
before you clowns even got here!

You're not gonna get away with this.

Shut out of my own investigation!

Are you freaking kidding me?

Yeah. CDC's off the case.

- It wasn't my call.
- Well, no, you're just enforcing it.

You know, the samples your
little windbreaker buddies

just collected were sent to our labs.

I assume you're gonna want the results.

So you're gonna hold
our samples hostage?

Come on, look. Come here.

We both know that the CDC doesn't
get into criminal cases, right?

Have you eaten today?

Come on, I know a place.

Come on.

Well, if you ask me, it feels
like we're just doubling down

on the very same mistakes
that led to all this.

We never learn.

All these agencies
jockeying for position.

FBI, CIA, everyone's so
focused on each other.

We let the wolves
slip into the backdoor.

And now everything is
under the microscope.

Press will dig up all those red flags.

Don't envy you guys.

Well, we could tell everybody.

How many times we've
stopped the bad guy.

Every day, I mean, thousands
of lives we keep safe.

Still.

A lot of pressure.

There were these two
guys on one of the planes,

and their son with
them, three years old.

And I can't get this
picture out of my head.

That moment when you realize
what's actually happening

that you wanna keep your son safe...

but there's nothing you can do.

- You got kids?
- No.

I got a nephew and a niece.

My nephew's already jaded.

I can't blame him.

I just wanna be someone
he can look up to,

not just another useless suit.

Hey, I shouldn't be telling you this,

but the results came back.

It's Ames.

Ames strain?

That hasn't appeared in decades.

I didn't think it existed outside
of high-security research labs.

It doesn't.

Hi, hon.

Just beat the worst of
the rain it looks like.
