Previously on The Hot Zone Anthrax.

Usually when he gets the flu,

it just passes in a day or two.

This doesn't present like a flu.

Bruce, we got some samples
coming in from Florida.

- Not it!
- We need an anthrax expert.

Patient's spinal fluid
showed rod-like bacteria.

You better call the FBI.

Anthrax uses its host
as a live incubator

and 95% of confirmed cases
worldwide are cutaneous,

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

But Bob Stevens inhaled it,

which is insanely rare
unless it's aerosolized.

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

- What do you mean?
- The doctor thought

- it was just a spider bite.
- And tragic news,

we've just learned that photo
editor Robert Stevens has died

from his anthrax exposure.

Results came back. It's Ames.

Ames stream?

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

It doesn't.

Hey, did somebody just pass
you guys on the hallway?

No, didn't see anyone.

Really?

Shelly, get out of there!

Come on, the plane just
hit the World Trade Center.

We got to go now. We could be next.

Come on people, get out
of there, go, go, go.

Everybody out. Come
on, we got to evacuate.

We need shelter, get off the phone.

New York City is under attack.

Some plane just hit the
World Trade Center, all right.

They're alerting all military bases.

We could be next. Come
on guys, get out, guys!

Go! Go ahead, just leave your stuff.

Out, out, out, out, right out.

Move, move, move, move, move.

For us to tell exactly
how large an aircraft

it is there or whether or
not that was intentional, um.

Go ahead, I'm sorry.

FAA is banning all departures nationwide

for any flights heading
through NYC airspace.

And what about the 3,300
flights already in the air?

- Who's got NORAD on their line?
- What do we know?

Passenger list is already in,

names of interest are being looked into,

but we're still waiting
on the cargo manifests.

Oh, these guys wouldn't
have any check luggage.

Anything they need they
would already had on them.

Still, we can't rule out
the potential of a bio-agent.

These planes could've been
used as a method of dispersal.

Hit the highest point in the
city, let gravity do the rest.

Get the Hazmat units mobilized.

I'll start running it up the chain.

As reports came in,
that the first hijack...

Yeah, this is Ryker. We're on the road.

We're on our way to New York.

No, you have to wait.

No. Until I can get
a team on the ground,

we can't rule out some
sort of biological threat.

Both towers of the World Trade Center

have been hit by large...

You got to be kidding me.

Come on, let's move!

Yes, extreme heat can destroy
a toxin like botulinum,

but the spores that produce
the toxic are heat resistant.

Yes.

Oh, my God.

- It's headed right for...
- The Pentagon.

_

Oh.

Oh, sir. I need you to
please return to your seat.

Sorry.

You can't even stretch your
legs on a flight anymore.

Terrorists brought us
all right to the edge.

So you think it's related?

This new anthrax case at NBC?

Related to what,

- 9/11 or the anthrax in Florida?
- Florida.

Already know the answer to
Al-Qaeda is a big old yes.

Well, there hasn't been a
case of inhalational anthrax

since 1976 and suddenly
you start seeing them?

It's all got to be connected.

So that's an affirmative?

Uh, no. That's a working hypothesis.

Start with the obvious but

can't know more until we
get some actual evidence.

Osama Bin Laden
continues to make threats

against America and our
allies all over the world.

But it has not hampered
the military's response.

Tonight, correspondent
Michael Smith has this report.

After the airing

of two shocking tapes made by Bin Laden,

and then another by his followers,

the administration has asked
the networks for restraint

in coverage of this crisis.

Uh, thanks for agreeing to see me.

I'm Dr. Marci Layton from
the Department of Health.

How are you doing Ms. O'Connor?

How do you think?

The guy in Florida, he
died in days, didn't he?

Unfortunately, yes.

However, I understand you went
to see your doctor a week ago?

Thought it was a spider
bite, put you on Cipro?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay. That's good.

If it is anthrax, Cipro is
our best defense against it.

In five, four, three...

Intelligence related to terrorism.

After six years serving as Governor

of the State of Pennsylvania,

Tom Ridge has retired.

Do you remember opening any mail

or a package that may have
contained some sort of a powder?

Uh, the mail in question likely
arrived a week or two ago.

Casey and I open mail all day. I can't,

I can't remember if...

Memory could be a tricky
thing, just take a breath, okay?

If there was a piece of
mail that was flagged,

something seemed off or threatening,

who would you have alerted?

I would, uh,

- I'd contact security.
- Okay.

Now think back to the last
time you called security

about something suspicious,

maybe there was a particular phrase,

or message, a color?

A green bag.

The, yeah, the last time I
called security on a letter,

they took it away in
a green shopping bag.

- Agent Ryker?
- Yes.

- Agent Moore?
- How's it going?

I'm Dr. Layton,

New York's Public Health
Director of Communicable Diseases.

Apologies for the rushed retrieval

but with one nightmare
scenario after another,

didn't have time to wait
around for your baggage claim.

So, I saw O'Connor's wound.

- Necrotic eschars?
- Yeah.

It sure looks like cutaneous
anthrax lesion to me.

Okay. Did they find the
letter or the envelope,

- however the anthrax was delivered?
- No,

not yet. But it's been flagged.

It should be in the building.

Good. We need to get our hands on it.

All the mail at AMI was incinerated.

Info on 30 Rock, it's
where NBC News is located.

It's not your typical office building,

massive tourist
destination, iconic landmark.

When were you first alerted
to the situation over at NBC?

Late last night.

Took Tom Brokaw calling half New York

to get the situation taken seriously.

Ground Zero.

30 days.

Still burning.

We call it Hell's Chimney.

The United States Government

says you should be on alert
because new terror attacks

could come at any moment.

The enemy is hidden, the enemy is

very often right here
within our own country.

Law enforcement nationwide

has been put on the
highest state of alert.

National Guard troops are stationed

- throughout the airport.
- Operation enduring.

I want justice.

Kill and demoralized.

Front lines in Northern Afghanistan,

direct hit from laser guided bombs.

Explosions were heard
near the Kabul Airport.

Wanted dead or alive.

- Hello?
- Bruce,

I know you put in a long
day, but we need you.

Biopsy came in for testing.

I'll be right there.

Diane?

Sweetheart?

Di? Di?

I have to go. The lab needs me.

Okay.

What's the status?

Status is its too damn dark
outside for you to be so awake.

Sue me for wanting to
help stop the bad guys.

So, where did this biopsy come from?

The city that never sleeps.

- See you in there.
- Okay.

Who's towel is this? Am I your maid?

Put it in the bin.

Layton says they can't keep up

with all the hoax letters
that are coming in.

You really think we'll find this thing?

We need to. It's just
a matter of tracking it.

Assuming it's just one.

- Are you with the FBI?
- Yes.

I need a microbiologist.

Dr. Layton said he was on his way over.

You're talking to him, Mr. Brokaw.

I'm Special agent Matthew Ryker.

Oh, Agent Ryker,

my assistant called
authorities days ago.

And apparently testing
is log-jammed and I'm...

for the life of me, trying to figure out

why it is that this is
not a higher priority.

Well, it's my
understanding that the CDC's

been swamped with samples from Florida.

- But I...
- Now listen, I've had enough of that, okay?

And no action.

I've got a sick employee upstairs

and we've had enough of the runaround.

We still don't know what Erin has.

Well, I just flew in from D.C.

I've only been on the
ground a couple of hours

but we have the best minds
in the field working on it.

I've pulled them out of bed to do it.

And Dr. Layton will make
sure the CDC's on it.

You should have results by tomorrow.

Hmm.

Well, I'm trusting you agent
because my next call is to Ashcroft.

Excuse me.

You think he's just
worried about his assistant?

No, he's right.

But this thing will
start going sideways fast

if we start taking special
consideration to big titles.

Copy that.

Elevators are just around the corner.

Until we find a source,

we need to shut down
the entire building.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I thought
you just said we were

just here as a specialist?

As a specialist, I'm telling you

- we need to shut the building down.
- On who's authority?

Just tell everyone this investigation

now falls under Operation Noble Eagle.

Hey, uh, should we call Copak first?

I mean, if we're gonna be
pulling the Presidential card?

If not now, then when?

Listen Sergeant, somewhere in
this building is a lethal agent

and we cannot let
anyone else be exposed.

- Which way?
- Uh, it's up here to the right.

Thousands of employees,
acres of office space.

Any idea how much mail must come
through a building like this?

Single letter is like
finding a needle in a...

I'd prefer a haystack.

I take it you're the
agent asking for me?

What can I do for you?

What's your hate mail protocol?

I wouldn't call it much of a protocol.

Any threatening letters get
funneled down through here.

So you fellas collect it for testing.

It's a little backed up right
now because of Ground Zero.

Chris, clear out this whole area

and let's get a Hazmat team in here.

We're gonna go through
every single piece of mail.

That letter's got to
be in here somewhere.

Check everything carefully.

The letter Erin opened has to be here

and if you find anything
with powder, stop immediately.

We need to preserve all
the source as we can.

This one has a flagged corner.

That's on the right.

Right.

Copy that.

We're almost halfway
through the mail here, sir,

still nothing.

What the hell?

Hey, hey.

This building is contaminated.

Why are people flooding in
here like it's any other Friday?

Agent Ryker, it wasn't my call.

- Then whose was it?
- Not that it's your business.

Mayor Giuliani.

The call was mine.

No one is shutting down 30 Rock.

- Mr. Mayor, you're not hearing me.
- Really?

Because it seems you're not hearing me.

You're not the acting
superior in this jurisdiction.

Erin O'Connor is infected.

Not only are all of
her colleagues at risk

but so is every person who
steps into the building.

We need to evacuate, we need
to get a Hazmat team in there

so we can scan every inch of the place.

Do you have a positive test,

- a confirmation on the victim?
- No, not yet.

Any other sick workers? Any proof?

I'm talking absolute that
anthrax is in this building.

- That's why we're searching.
- Just because one person

who might have it,

might've been exposed weeks ago,

uh, is already being treated and
nobody else is showing symptoms,

yet you're trying to
shut down one of the,

- the busiest buildings in my city.
- Sir, with all due respect.

You're here looking through a microscope

but, uh, I've got to
see the big picture.

Okay. Well here's an image,

anthrax spores do not die off.

They settle, they lie in wait.

What we are talking about
is a ticking time bomb.

Mayor Giuliani, please.

Plenty of twisted pricks
get their rocks off

by scaring people.

If they shut down every
building that had a hoax,

wouldn't be a building
open come Christmas.

Do you have any idea what
the good people of this city

- have been through these last weeks?
- I understand.

Hell, the city gets threats every day.

I need at least the third floor.

NBC and it's adjacent offices.

Look, I can use the freight entrance.

Mr. Mayor, you haven't seen what
this bacteria does to a body.

Clear the entrance.
Let's move, guys, move.

Just make sure it's taped off.

Block that corner off.

And you guys got to
rotate it out of the suit.

We've only got the third floor,

but make sure you swab everything.

Copy that.

Didn't they say the subject had a lesion

indicating cutaneous anthrax?

It's negative.

Negative?

I think maybe we should test it again.

We tested it twice, Bruce.

Are you in a hurry to get out of here?

After 20-plus hours
of straight lab work?

Yes, Bruce, I am.

I don't know about you, but
if I'm gonna do that again,

I'm gonna need some sleep.

Hey, Simon.

Did you open my...

I'll call you back.

There's a flight leaving at 12:25.

Great. Get me on it.

Morning, sir.

Wasn't trying to be nosy, but
I was looking for you earlier.

Susan said you were up
in the Director's office.

Yeah.

Lot of heads rolling this morning?

Just a friendly reminder

that we either get out front of
this story or we become the story.

Hmm, locking horns
right out of the gate?

- With the Director?
- No. We go back.

Princeton, right?

Yeah. Before the bronze
star, Purple Heart.

He took the law firm,
Attorney General route

and I dedicated my life to the bureau.

My mistake.

Always easier climbing new stairs

than the ones you've been
slogging up for years.

Well, Van Harp's keeping me busy,

but if you need extra
hands on the anthrax case.

Oh, Ryker's on it.

I know the cells in our
AOR better than anyone, sir.

If I start pulling agents off 9/11

without confirmation this is an attack.

Of course, sir. But if it is,

this whole thing could blow wide open.

We went through everything in there.

Did you find the letter?

I thought we had something
but it was just a hoax.

I don't know what to tell you.
There's no anthrax letter in that room.

That makes no sense.

That lesion on Erin
O'Connor's shoulder is no hoax.

- That letter's gotta be here somewhere.
- About that,

they just brought in O'Connor's biopsy.

And?

- Tested negative.
- What?

Actually, O'Connor's
been on Cipro for days.

Once Cipro is established
in the bloodstream,

I'm thinking it could result
in a false gram-negative.

Dr. Zaki over at the CDC is working

on an experimental strip to
expedite gram-positive testing.

It'll be more conclusive.

- Give them a call.
- Yeah.

Things are good.

Lately with Diane and the kids,

everything's clicking.

I mean, the only stressful thing is...

And how has work been lately?

And other than that, how
was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Do you want to expand on that?

Stressful. I mean,

you know, we're at the epicenter
of this anthrax business and

the country under attack.

Haven't been able to
see the kids much lately.

It's quite common to pull away

when there is stress in the workplace.

There is nothing common about my work.

What's happening there?

What's adding anxiety?

Bruce?

- Where did you just go?
- Sorry.

I know 9/11 really rattled you,

but it's good that you've
come here for more support.

My work at USAMRIID, dealing with DOD,

it's high clearance stuff.

These conversations are confidential.

Since the situation in Florida,

things have been unhinged.

And now with New York,

the samples keep flooding
in and it's up to us

to separate the hoaxes
from the real deal.

We're this line of defense
nobody even knows exists.

Would you say you
feel under-appreciated?

What? No.

What I'm saying is that
it's just us in there,

this select group of scientists,

some of us barely know each other.

Even in a vacuum, how do you
trust someone with something so

paramount as the safety of our nation?

Bruce, do you suspect

someone at work is possibly involved?

This way.

They're still working on
those contaminants as well.

Yeah, they are.

I assure you, this won't
get blown out of proportion.

Better not. I asked for a babysitter

and was promised you'd have
an iron grip on the situation.

Mayor.

Sir.

We just got results from
Erin O'Connor's latest biopsy.

She's positive for anthrax.

Her first test was a false negative

because she'd already been on Cipro.

Didn't I already give
you what you asked for?

We need to do a lot more
than close off one floor.

Anthrax is here.

- Who ran the test?
- CDC.

Brand new testing method.

And by new, is that some
sort of experimental thing?

And?

Unless you have any new
proof that she got it here

- at 30 Rock...
- How is a positive biopsy result not enough?

Ryker.

- I'll take that as a no.
- Mayor Giuliani,

the press is ready for you. And
Assistant Director Mawn is standing by.

Thank you.

You gotta understand,

the local team is doing
everything by the book.

They're good.

But they need more to go on.

Conjecture is the enemy here.

You get an attack letter in
an evidence bag and hold it up

in front of the cameras, I
can get us anything we want.

We went through every
inch of that mailroom.

Erin knows she handed the letter off.

Then you jumped a step
when you retraced it.

The truth is never about
what should have happened.

Thank you all for coming.

I just wanna be clear that we're, we're,

we're talking with you today

because we're being overly cautious.

All employees, as well
as areas of the building

that may have been
exposed will be tested.

We're missing something.

We've been through every
piece of hate mail twice.

Mailroom doesn't bag
them, though, do they?

Uh, no. I think security guards

collect potential
threats from each floor.

Which guard handles the mail from NBC?

After a long talk with the CDC,

the chances that this
is contained, uh...

What do you need, pal?

FBI.

We're looking for a letter that
was addressed to Tom Brokaw,

came in a green plastic bag.

- Seen anything like that?
- I don't know.

It can be anywhere in here.

Start over there.

While the powder in the letter,

uh, proved negative for anthrax,

a skin biopsy did test positive.

And since this incident could date
back as early as September 25th,

there's a decent shot that, uh,

anyone who might have been exposed, uh,

would be by now. That is our hope.

I encourage everyone
not to overreacting.

NBC's in control of the situation

and cooperation with
governmental agencies,

that's including the CDC and the FBI.

If anyone receives any suspicious mail,

the best thing to do,
contact the police or FBI.

Get out.

Leave the sandwich.

Chris, stay back.

I'm vaccinated, but you need to leave.

And get that guy on Cipro.

Excuse me, Mr. Giuliani.

Mayor, clarify what
the CDC told you today?

Exactly how safe is 30 Rock right now?

The CDC and the FBI have informed us

that the chances that this
is contained are very good.

Any connection to 9/11?

I'll let our local
Assistant Director Mawn

- answer that. Barry?
- Thank you, Mayor.

Uh, at this moment, we see absolutely

zero link to 9/11.

_

_

So it is terrorists.

Our forensics might find more,

but I'm not seeing any
identifiers, Dr. Layton.

And there's no obvious
fingerprints, there's no hair.

The envelope has been taped, not licked,

so we're not gonna
pull any DNA evidence.

The letter itself is photocopied,

so we're not gonna get any ink samples.

They did leave us something
to go off of, postmark.

Maybe it could be traced
back to the point of origin.

Right. And track it down to
where it was first dropped off.

Yeah. Follow up with the postal service.

Okay. Got it.

If this is a match for Florida,

we've got a full-blown
bioweapons attack on our hands.

Question is, who else is a target?

Well letters were sent to AMI and NBC.

I'm starting to think this
is an attack on the media.

First showed up over a week ago.

My doctor prescribed antibiotics.

He said it was a spider bite.

But it's not, is it?

What's important is that
it looks to be resolving.

We'll need to run some tests, though.

Whatever you need to do
to take down the cowards

who are doing this.

Do you remember opening
any suspicious mail?

Something that might look
similar to this letter here.

I remember an envelope just like this.

I didn't open it, though.

What do you mean?

The letter, I, I never opened it.

We got a case at the Post.

A woman with a cutaneous
wound on her finger.

And I just got word that
Dan Rather's assistant

over at CBS tested positive.

She noticed the lesion
a couple of days ago.

Did you find any letters at CBS?

No, but we did find spores,

some of them at Rather's desk.

Look, uh, I'm at ABC News right now.

Um, I got a lot of newsrooms to sweep.

What about you? What's your status?

I'm heading into the mail
facility in Trenton now.

I'll let you know if the
postmark gets us anywhere.

Good. Thanks.

All right, uh...

Rest assured, the tests we will be
performing are just a precaution.

Uh, several employees
at other news outlets

have tested positive for anthrax,

so we wanna make sure that
everyone here at ABC News is safe.

Special Agent Ryker.

As Assistant Director
Copak may have mentioned,

we will need to know the names
of anyone who came to visit

you here at work over
the past two weeks.

Everyone, please, please,
let's, let's stay calm.

- Hey, honey.
- Is he any worse?

Getting pretty fussy.

He's, he's little owie
is looking kind of ugly.

Is everything okay?

Excuse me, ma'am.

Hi, my name is Agent
Moore. I'm with the FBI.

Uh, I'm just looking
for your floor manager.

Uh, Quinton? What'd he get himself into?

Uh, no, he's not in any trouble.

I just got a couple
of questions for him.

Quinton! Feds are looking for ya!

He's right in there.

Thanks.

- You see these hash marks down here?
- Right.

That big metal beast out there doing

all the clanking stamps the code,

then sends it on down the line to
the others to be sorted accordingly.

Okay. Meaning the code
then serves as a, sort of,

road map for the letter's journey?

Uh, this one, after leaving here

was dispatched to our
route that covers 30 Rock.

Okay.

And where might the
letter been dropped off

before it made its way to this facility?

Could have been any box in our region.

One of our blue boxes,
if I had to guess.

Blue boxes?

Okay. How many of those
blue boxes are we talking?

Over 600.

Thought you went home already?

Got called back in. You?

Yeah. Same.

You know, I'm practically
drowning in samples

that need testing, and now word is,

we're about to get new spores
from the New York letter.

How much you wanna bet
if it turns out to be Ames

just like the Florida strain.

You sound pretty confident.

Well, you wanna know what worries me?

If it is Ames,

only advanced labs have it.

Then how'd Al-Qaeda get ahold of it?

Exactly.

This thing,

this thing could get messy.

You heading out?

Yeah. I just have some
things to finish up first.

Well,

- suit yourself. Goodnight, Bruce.
- Good night.

We tried administrating oral antibiotics

but little Joey keeps spitting them up.

We're running out of options.

How long has the infection been active?

I can't tell you any
more than the father did.

He said his wife and the baby
came by the office a few days ago.

We don't have many options to stave off

the spread of the
infection in an infant.

Anthrax isn't something you stave off.

If it's already systemic,

which this is, this boy
needs to be on Cipro.

- I told you, he can't keep them down.
- No, no,

not oral, intravenously.

It's his only shot.

Agent, this is my ICU, my call.

Do not mistake this
update as anything more

- than a professional courtesy.
- Before today,

I was one of only a handful
of people in this country

to have ever seen a case
of anthrax in a human.

And babies?

Ever seen an anthrax
case in an infant before?

You wanna take a guess at the
odds of a human weighing less

than 20 pounds surviving
that much Cipro intravenously?

Is it better than zero?

Because those are Joey's odds
if we don't kill the anthrax.

Oh, you're up late.

Correction, I'm up early.

You, my friend, are
the one that's up late.

Well, you know, can't sleep.

What's new? So I got your text.

So, what's got you up before the dawn?

The Patriot Act Bill,

has everyone on Capitol
Hill scrambling right now.

You know, half the groups I lobby for

don't even know which way
they want this vote to go.

Turns out that allowing the
FBI to freely spy on Americans

makes some folks uneasy.

You know this isn't public,

but the anthrax we found,

all signs point to it
leading back to Florida.

Well, you're afraid that'd be the case.

Only it's worse. Several victims.

One's an infant.

Jesus, Matthew.

I know word around D.C.

is that it's terrorist
that's behind these letters.

Is that what you're thinking?

Well, Al-Qaeda declared war on 9/11.

No reason to think they'd
stop with the first strike.

You still there?

Matthew?

Uh, yeah, I'm still here.

Uh, why don't we talk more
once I get back to D.C., okay?

Yeah, sure.

Call me when you land.

* Nearer, my God, to Thee *

* Nearer to Thee *

* E'en though it be a cross *

* That raiseth me *

* Still all my song shall be *

* Nearer, my God, to Thee *

- * Nearer, my God, to Thee **
- Bruce, do you suspect

someone at work is possibly involved?

The other night I swabbed
a few places around USAMRIID

looking for something peculiar.

Peculiar, meaning?

Connected to the anthrax
attacks obviously.

And?

Inconclusive.

Bruce,

at minimum,

this is a massive burden
you've taken upon yourself,

and worst case a matter
of National Security.

Yes, I'm aware.

Have you considered

as a means of lifting this
burden contacting the authorities?

- Possibly the FBI?
- What if I'm wrong?

What if this colleague is innocent,

I could destroy his entire world.

No.

Not without something concrete.

I understand your trepidation.

Will you at least consider it, please?

No need to wait around on our account.

I was just heading to the field office.

I thought I'd stop by
and check in on your son.

Doctors still won't say much.

Though from what they have said,

it sounds like making
it through the night

was a pretty major milestone.

So, thank you for that.

- No need to thank me. I didn't do any.
- Don't.

The pediatrician said you talked
him into the intravenous treatment.

I'm happy to help.

Excuse me.

- Dr. Layton?
- Hey,

our teams got their hands on that letter

that infected the woman at the Post.

Here's the troubling thing,

the letter is still sealed.

No one opened it,

not even ripped a corner or something?

No. The powder must've worked
its way around the seal.

The things is we've been
operating under the assumption

that just a few spores
couldn't infect anyone.

To know how to do this,

make sure that they don't link up
with people like Osama bin Laden

uh, for not panicking in the situation.

I think most of what
we're going to see will...

Hey, any leads on the letter?

Not yet. It's with the CDC now.

Get a load of this.

News got their hands on some tidbit

and it's blowing up
all over the airwaves.

Should we be concerned

that Iraq may be able to do that?

I have always been concerned about Iraq.

I share the concern about Iraq's
biological weapons program.

Uh, I found it very curious indeed

- that Saddam Hussein...
- Iraq?

No, no, this is,

I've had a couple of calls
from Washington already.

Fumbled my way through.

It's like talking to
people about a party

they think you were invited to.

Is Al-Qaeda even in Iraq?

Iraq's bioweapons capabilities
were shut down after the war.

As far as you and I

- have been told.
- It's clear that, uh,

Mr. Bin Laden is a man who's, uh,

an evil man.

FBI investigators are frantically

searching for leads
in the case and the CDC

has been quick to provide
testing and laboratory services.

You have reached the Federal
Bureau of Investigation tip line.

If you are calling in regards
to an open investigation,

press one.

Infections in humans and especially...

- Hey.
- Hi.

Who are you calling, Bruce?

Oh, just work stuff.

All right.

In five, four, three...

Good evening.

Tonight we find ourselves in the unusual

and unhappy position of
reporting on one of our own.

Anthrax, war, terror

and threats of more, the USA

is in an understandable
state of anxiety.

It is concern in the country

about anthrax as a weapon.

How does the FBI find out

who is responsible for
sending out anthrax?

We don't have enough information

to know whether this could
be related to terrorism.

Reinforced by the President

that more terror
attacks could be coming.

In Rockefeller Center,
an anthrax case in NBC.

But NBC was not the only target.

Anthrax spores were also found
on the desk of my colleague

Dan Rather at CBS.

Other news outlets including
ABC and the New York Post

were targeted as well.

And today anthrax attack
victim Robert Stevens

was laid to rest in Florida.

Our thoughts are with his family.

The other two original victims
from Florida are recovering.

But now with multiple attacks
along the Eastern Seaboard

and no suspect yet identified,

our nation is gripped with fear.

We can only hope there
will be no more victims.
