Narrator:
A CENTURY AGO...

WHILE THE GREAT WAR
RIPS EUROPE APART...

A TERRORIST CELL
HAS COME INTO AMERICA.

THERE'S ALWAYS A DANGER
OF AN ENEMY WITHIN.

Narrator: ...A SECRET ARMY

WAGES A CAMPAIGN OF TERROR
FROM NEW YORK CITY.

WE NEED MORE.
MANY MORE.

THE BOMBS CREATE A HOLOCAUST
IN THE HOLD OF THESE VESSELS.

IT IS THE MANHATTAN FRONT.

NEW YORK IS AT THE FRONT LINE.

Narrator: THIS IS THE SHOCKING
AND LITTLE-KNOWN STORY

OF GERMAN SPIES AND SABOTEURS

HELL-BENT ON ATTACKING
THE HEART OF AMERICA.

Blum: VON RINTELEN SAYS
HE'S GOING TO DECLARE WAR

AGAINST THE ENTIRE
UNITED STATES.

HE WILL BE A SPIDER
SPINNING HIS WEB.

KINDERGARTEN IS OVER.

A PROFESSIONAL
IS IN CHARGE NOW.

THEY SET OFF A BOMB
IN THE U.S. CAPITOL BUILDING.

THEY SET UP AN ANTHRAX LAB
SIX MILES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

THEY SHOOT
THE NATION'S RICHEST MAN.

[ GUNSHOT ]

AND NOT ONLY IS THIS ALL TRUE,
BUT IT HAPPENS IN 1915.

Narrator:
ONE MAN, TOM TUNNEY...

[ GRUNTS ]

...A NEW YORK CITY COP,
UNCOVERS THE PLOT

AND MUST FIGHT TO SAVE HIS
COUNTRY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

BUT IN THIS DEADLY GAME...

WHERE'S THE DYNAMITE?!

...NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS.

Jaffe:
TUNNEY'S PROBLEM BECOMES,

"WHERE ARE THEY
GOING TO STRIKE NEXT?"

[ EXPLOSION ]

Narrator: AS AMERICA RISES
AS A NATION...

VIOLENCE REIGNS.

A FEW BRAVE SOULS
FACE THE DANGER,

FIGHTING TO CREATE JUSTICE
FROM CHAOS.

THESE ARE THE STORIES
OF AMERICAN LAWMEN.

BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE SOMEBODY
THAT USES A BOMB AS A WEAPON

IS A COWARD.

THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE IN THE BOMB SQUAD --

YOU HAVE TO BE COOL
UNDER PRESSURE.

THEY LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.

THEY ARE FOCUSED.

THEY DO NOT GET TUNNEL VISION.

Jaffe: AMIDST OF THE OUTBREAK
OF WORLD WAR I,

NEW YORK IS VERY MUCH A CITY
AT WAR WITH ITSELF.

THERE ARE BOMBINGS IN NEW YORK

THAT ARE ULTIMATELY TRACED
TO ANARCHISTS.

**

THIS IS A MOVEMENT
WHICH ISN'T INVOLVED IN THE WAR.

IT'S REALLY INVOLVED IN
WHAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD'VE SEEN

AS THE CLASS WAR.

[ SCREAMING ]

Blum: WALL STREET WAS
UNDER SIEGE FROM BOMBS.

NEW YORK WAS BECOMING
A CITY OF TARGETS.

**

TOM TUNNEY WAS A MAN
WITH A VERY STRONG MORAL SENSE.

HE BECAME A POLICEMAN

BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT WAS
AN HONORABLE PROFESSION,

AND HE IMMEDIATELY
STARTED FORGING A CAREER

THAT WAS BASED ON HONOR
AND SERVICE.

THE CASE
THAT MADE TOM TUNNEY'S CAREER --

A BOMB WAS GOING TO BE PLANTED
IN ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL,

AND HE AND HIS MEN FORMED THE
FIRST REAL UNDERCOVER OPERATION

IN NEW YORK POLICE HISTORY.

Pistone:
TO BE A GOOD UNDERCOVER AGENT,

YOU GOT TO HAVE
A MENTAL TOUGHNESS

THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE,

WITH THE ABILITY
TO STAY FOCUSED.

Psst.

**

Blum:
MANY OF THE ANARCHIST GROUPS

THOUGHT THE CHURCH WAS LIVING
TOO HIGH ON THE HOG,

WAS COLLECTING TOO MUCH MONEY
FROM THE PEOPLE

AND NOT GIVING ENOUGH BACK
TO THEIR PARISHIONERS.

Jaffe:
ANARCHISTS WERE ATHEISTS.

THEY SAW THE CHURCH -- ANY KIND
OF ORGANIZED RELIGION --

AS A FORCE
OF GREAT CONSERVATISM,

A FORCE THAT PROPPED UP
THE WEALTHY AND THE POWERFUL

RATHER THAN SERVING THE POOR.

THEY WERE ACTUALLY A FAIRLY
SMALL MINORITY OF NEW YORKERS,

BUT THEY HAD THE BOMBS.

**

Barry:
PEOPLE MAY HAVE THE IDEA

THAT BOMB TECHNICIANS
HAVE A LOT OF BRAVADO

AND THEY JUST GO UP AND WALK UP
ON AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE.

IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

**

IF YOU DO MAKE A MISTAKE,
YOU NEVER KNOW IT.

YOU WILL SEE THE FLASH,

BUT YOU WILL NEVER
HEAR THE SOUND.

IT'S THAT INSTANTANEOUS.

BOMB TECHNICIANS ARE
THE BRAVEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

BECAUSE IT TAKES
A SPECIAL TYPE OF PERSON

TO LEAN OVER SOMETHING
THAT THEY KNOW CAN KILL THEM.

**

TOM TUNNEY SAID HE NEVER
PRAYED SO HARD IN HIS LIFE.

**

EXTRA! EXTRA!
WAR IN EUROPE!

EXTRA! EXTRA!

WAR IN EUROPE!

Blum:
WHEN WAR BREAKS OUT IN EUROPE,

THE U.S. INTERNS ALL THE GERMAN
SHIPS THAT ARE HERE IN AMERICA,

BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE NEUTRAL.

FIRST, WE PUT THE BOATS
IN NEW YORK HARBOR.

WE'VE RUN OUT OF SPACE.

WE HAVE TO SEND THEM OVER
TO NEW JERSEY.

SO ALL THESE SHIPS ARE HERE,
AND THEY'RE FILLED WITH SAILORS.

**

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY
IS A VERY THIN,

ALMOST A COUNTERFEIT NEUTRALITY.

ALL THE MUNITIONS,
WAR HORSES, SUPPLIES

ARE GOING
FROM THE PORT OF NEW YORK

TO THE BRITISH, FRENCH,
AND THE RUSSIANS.

Stout:
GERMANY WASN'T REALLY WORRIED

ABOUT THE UNITED STATES
AS A POTENTIAL ADVERSARY.

WHAT THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT
IS THAT WE ARE STARTING TO SELL

LARGE QUANTITIES OF WAR MATERIEL
TO THEIR ENEMIES,

AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR WAYS
THAT THEY COULD STOP THAT.

**

THERE'S A PERIOD WHEN SHIPS
ARE CATCHING FIRE AT SEA,

WHEN CHEMICAL FACTORIES
ARE BLOWING UP.

IS THIS AN ANARCHIST ATTACK?

IS THIS WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS,
A RASH OF THEM?

IS THIS SOME SORT
OF UNION DISPUTE?

**

TUNNEY STUDIED EXPLOSIVES.

HE KNOWS THAT ACCIDENTS
DON'T HAPPEN IN SUCH VOLUME.

HE CALLS IT A TROUBLED HOUR.

**

WHEN YOU BEGIN TO GET
MULTIPLE I.E.D.s

TARGETING THE SAME TYPE
OF TARGET...

...YOU REALIZE NOW
THAT YOU HAVE A SERIAL BOMBER.

TUNNEY BEGINS TO THINK
THE IMPOSSIBLE --

"COULD THERE BE
FOREIGN AGENTS HERE

TRYING TO CAUSE CHAOS
IN AMERICA?"

Woods: TUNNEY.

**

JOB WELL-DONE
DOWN AT THE CHURCH.

THANK YOU,
COMMISSIONER.

SIR, I'D LIKE
TO SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN

ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION
INTO THE SHIP ATTACKS.

YOU STILL THINK
IT'S THE GERMANS.

DOZENS OF DEATHS
AND STILL NO OBVIOUS CONNECTION.

UNLESS...

THESE WERE SUPPLY SHIPS
BOUND FOR THE ALLIES.

WHAT IF GERMANY
HAS OPERATIVES IN AMERICA?

CAPTAIN TUNNEY,
IT IS NOT THE NYPD's ROLE

TO MANIPULATE
FOREIGN POLICY.

BUT, SIR --
I'M SORRY.

**

GOOD WORK
TAKING DOWN THOSE ANARCHISTS.

HE WAS A YOUNG,
AGGRESSIVE LEADER,

AND AS HE TRIED TO INVESTIGATE,
HE WAS BUTTING HEADS.

Blum:
THE POLICE COMMISSIONER,

WHO HE HAS A GREAT DEAL OF
RESPECT FOR -- ARTHUR WOODS --

HE DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT

BECAUSE THE PREVAILING VIEW
IN WASHINGTON

IS THAT AMERICA
WANTS TO STAY NEUTRAL.

**

TOM TUNNEY GETS A CALL

TO REPORT TO
THE POLICE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE

AT NIGHT
AND TO TAKE THE BACK WAY.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

TOM,
COME IN.

SORRY ABOUT
ALL THE SECRECY,

BUT, UH...I COULDN'T RISK ANYONE
SEEING THE TWO OF YOU MEET.

THIS IS GUY GAUNT,
BRITISH INTELLIGENCE.

CAPTAIN TUNNEY.

WHAT IS THIS
ALL ABOUT?

TOM,
IT SEEMS THAT YOU WERE RIGHT.

WE'VE ACQUIRED INFORMATION

THAT POINTS
TO A COVERT OPERATION

RUN BY THE GERMANS
RIGHT HERE IN NEW YORK.

**

WE'D LIKE YOU TO DETERMINE
WHO'S INVOLVED AND DISMANTLE IT.

IT WAS AS VAGUE AS THAT.

IT WAS, "YOU WERE RIGHT.

WE DON'T KNOW SPECIFICS.

NOW GO OUT AND SOLVE IT."

WE ARE STILL
TECHNICALLY NEUTRAL,

YET THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT
LOOKS ACROSS THE OCEAN

AND SEES THIS INDUSTRIAL DYNAMO

SUPPLYING THEIR FOE
IN THIS DEATH STRUGGLE.

SO THE GERMANS ARE ANGRY.

Woods: TOM, YOU MAY BE THE ONLY
MAN CAPABLE OF TAKING THIS ON.

YOU KNOW BOMBS,
YOU KNOW THIS CITY.

BECAUSE HE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE,

WHEN THE TIME CAME
TO CREATE WHAT HAD NEVER BEEN

IN THE HISTORY OF NEW YORK
BEFORE --

A TEAM TO LOOK FOR FOREIGN
TERRORISTS ON OUR OWN SOIL --

TOM TUNNEY WAS GIVEN THE JOB.

"DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
AND GO GET THEM.

SAVE AMERICA."

I'LL GET STARTED
RIGHT AWAY.

**

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

FRANZ VON RINTELEN
WAS A GERMAN NAVAL OFFICER

WHO WAS SENT ACROSS
UNDER AN ASSUMED IDENTITY

TO FOMENT ACTS OF SABOTAGE.

HE SPOKE ENGLISH FLUENTLY.

HE WAS A DASHING MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Stout: VON RINTELEN TURNS OUT TO
BE AN EXTRAORDINARILY ENERGETIC,

IMAGINATIVE, CREATIVE,
AND VERY AGGRESSIVE KIND OF GUY.

**

WE MUST
PICK UP THE PACE.

IF YOU CAN'T KEEP UP,
I'LL THROW YOU OFF THE DOCK.

GO!

VON BERNSTORFF IS THE
GERMAN AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S.

HE'S BEEN IN THE UNITED STATES
FOR EIGHT YEARS.

HERR VON RINTELEN.

VON BERNSTORFF.

DANKE SCHOEN.

WELCOME TO AMERICA.

BERLIN ISN'T PLEASED
WITH HOW THINGS ARE PROGRESSING.

WE NEED
MORE RECRUITS.

BETTER WEAPONS.

I'M GOING TO PUT THIS OPERATION
BACK ON COURSE.

THIS IS
MY OPERATION.

[ CHUCKLES ] NO.

IT'S NOT.

**

Blum:
IT'S A KAISERPAS.

**

A KAISERPAS IS LIKE
A "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" CARD.

IT'S WRITTEN BY THE KAISER,
AND IT SAYS,

"PLEASE EMPOWER
THE BEARER OF THIS PASS,"

TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS,
BASICALLY.

NO ONE CAN OPPOSE HIM.

HE SAYS
HE'S GOING TO DECLARE WAR

AGAINST
THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.

HE WILL BE A SPIDER
SPINNING HIS WEB.

KINDERGARTEN IS OVER,
COUNT BERNSTORFF.

A PROFESSIONAL
IS IN CHARGE NOW.

**

**

Blum:
THERE'S A WAR GOING ON,

AND TOM TUNNEY IS
FEELING THE PRESSURE EVERY DAY

FROM HIS OWN SENSE OF JUSTICE.

WHAT FILLED HIM EACH DAY
WITH RAGE

WAS HIS UNDECLARED WAR AGAINST
AMERICA BY A FOREIGN COUNTRY.

TUNNEY WAS INFORMED

THAT THE GERMANS
WERE WORKING HERE IN AMERICA

AND WAS ORDERED
BY HIS POLICE CHIEF

TO PUT TOGETHER A TEAM,

TRACK THEM DOWN, AND STOP
THE CITY FROM BEING BLOWN UP.

**

TO START HIS INTELLIGENCE TEAM,

HE DECIDES, "I'M GOING TO GET
GERMAN SPEAKERS."

BUT HE WANTS POLICEMEN
WHO WERE BORN HERE.

HE DOES NOT WANT TO WORRY ABOUT
THEIR ALLEGIANCE.

AND THEN HE SAID,

"I'VE BEEN IN ROOMS WHERE
I HAVE TO FIGHT MY WAY OUT,

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE

I CAN COUNT ON THE GUYS
WHO GO IN WITH ME."

**

YOU HAVE THIS SMALL CONTINGENT

FROM THE NEW YORK
POLICE DEPARTMENT

UP AGAINST, ESSENTIALLY,
THE KAISER'S MILITARY INGENUITY.

TUNNEY AND THE BOMB SQUAD HAD
A REALLY TOUGH BATTLE TO FIGHT.

THEY HAVE A HIDDEN ENEMY,
COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE CITY,

WAS ANYWHERE IN THE CITY.

**

NEW YORK
WAS A TERRIFIC RECRUITING GROUND

FOR THE GERMAN MILITARY.

IT IS THE MANHATTAN FRONT.

NEW YORK IS AT THE FRONT LINE.

WHAT ARE
YOU STILL DOING HERE?!

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
ON THE DOCK!

GO! GO!
SCHNELL!

Blum: THE MAN WHO'S REALLY
THE HEAD OF THE WATERFRONT

IS A GUY
BY THE NAME OF PAUL KOENIG,

AND PAUL KOENIG
IS A RATHER IMPERIOUS,

EVEN THREATENING FIGURE.

**

FOR STRANDED SAILORS,

THEY SEEM PRETTY BUSY,
DON'T YOU THINK?

WHEN THE GERMAN SPY NETWORK
IS SET UP IN MANHATTAN,

KOENIG STARTS KEEPING
SECRET DIARIES

OF WHAT HE DOES EACH DAY,
WHAT HE EATS, WHO HE MEETS WITH.

Jaffe:
A LOT OF GERMAN RESERVISTS

COOLING THEIR HEELS IN NEW YORK.

THESE YOUNG MEN ARE ANGRY,

THEY'RE BORED,
THEY'RE IMPATIENT.

THEY WANT TO STRIKE A BLOW
FOR THE FATHERLAND.

Barry: NEW YORK IS ALWAYS KNOWN
AS THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

THAT'S WHY NUMEROUS TIMES,
IT'S BEEN A TARGET.

**

[ LAUGHTER ]

WE -- WE NEED
MORE DRINKS.

MORE DRINKS!
YES!

VON RINTELEN BEGINS TO WORK
UNDER AN ALIAS

AS AN IMPORTER
IN LOWER MANHATTAN.

Von Rintelen:
THANK YOU. HERE.

FOR YOU.

**

VON RINTELEN WAS ABLE
TO LIVE IN TWO WORLDS.

HE WOULD GO OUT EACH NIGHT
AS THIS MAN ABOUT TOWN...

FOR YOU,
SIR.

...AND DURING THE DAY,

HE WOULD CONTINUE
HIS WAR AGAINST AMERICA.

HERE'S TO A BEAUTIFUL EVENING
AND NEW FRIENDS.

All: CHEERS.

HIS MISSION IS TWOFOLD --

ONE,
TO KEEP AMERICA OUT OF THE WAR,

AND TWO, STOP AMERICA FROM
SENDING SUPPLIES TO THE ALLIES.

**

WALTER SCHEELE IS THIS CHEMIST
WITH A NEW CREATION --

A CIGAR BOMB.

Stout:
THESE BOMBS ARE SMALL ENOUGH

TO BE EASILY SMUGGLED
ONTO ANY SHIP.

THE PRODUCT WAS SIMPLE TO MAKE,

EASY TO CONCEAL UNDER THEIR COAT
TO BOARD A SHIP,

GIVE IT TO A LONGSHOREMAN

OR A CREW MEMBER
WHO MAY NOT EVEN KNOW

AND GET IT ONBOARD THE SHIP

IN A LOCATION
THAT'S GONNA CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE.

Blum: THE SHIP WOULD BE ENGULFED
IN FIRE,

AND BEST OF ALL,
THE EVIDENCE WOULD BE DESTROYED.

YOU'D NEVER KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT.

I WILL REQUIRE
HUNDREDS MORE.

HERR VON RINTELEN, TO
MANUFACTURE THAT MANY CASINGS,

I WILL NEED
A LARGER SPACE.

IF THESE WORK
AS WELL AS YOU SAY THEY WILL...

YOU WILL GET IT.

**

Blum: ONE OF HIS COHORTS
COMES UP WITH A BRILLIANT IDEA.

"WE HAVE ALL OUR SHIPS
IN THE HARBOR.

WE CAN TAKE
THE FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE,"

WHICH IS
A LARGE PASSENGER SHIP --

FREDERICK THE GREAT --

"WE HAVE OUR MEN THERE
TO DO THE WORK,

AND THEY CAN WORK EACH NIGHT
AS A BOMB FACTORY,

MAKING UNTRACEABLE BOMBS
TO DESTROY AMERICAN SHIPPING."

**

WE NEED MORE.

MANY MORE.

KOENIG.

**

THESE WORKERS
MUST DOUBLE THEIR EFFORTS.

YES, SIR.

TAKE THESE
TO DR. SCHEELE.

Jaffe: THE BOMBS THAT
WALTER SCHEELE AND VON RINTELEN

WERE PLANTING ABOARD THESE SHIPS

COULD CREATE A HOLOCAUST
WITHIN MINUTES

IN THE HOLD OF THESE VESSELS.

**

THE SECRET BOMBING CAMPAIGN

WAS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
FOR THE GERMANS.

**

...AND I'LL FIND YOU.

TUNNEY CREATED PROBABLY
WHAT WE WOULD REFER TO

AS THE FIRST TERRORISM
TASK FORCE IN THE COUNTRY,

BECAUSE HE WAS FIGHTING
SABOTEURS.

WE HAD NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM
PRIOR TO 1915.

OKAY.

THERE'S TALK
ABOUT BOMBS

BEING LOADED ONTO SHIPS
IN THIS HARBOR,

BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHO'S DOING THE LOADING,

AND HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHERE THE BOMBS ARE COMING FROM.

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT NEXT MOVE
HIS OPPONENT'S GOING TO MAKE

OR EVEN WHAT KIND OF MOVE.

MIGHT BE A MOVE OFF THE BOARD.

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

KEEP SHAKING
THE BRANCHES.

I KNOW THE HIVE'S AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE.

IN A PERIOD OF MONTHS,
70 DIFFERENT SHIP FIRES OCCUR.

**

HE FELT HE HAD TO DEFEND
THIS NATION.

HE FELT HE HAD TO DEFEND
THE HOMELAND.

VON RINTELEN -- HE'S OUT TO WIN
THIS WAR ALMOST SINGLE-HANDEDLY.

**

A SHIP FROM FRANCE
ARRIVES IN MARSEILLES,

AND FOR SOME REASON,
THE CIGAR BOMB DIDN'T BLOW UP.

AND SO IT'S SENT BACK.

**

Barry:
THEY WOULD SEE

IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY
HOW THE DEVICE WAS BUILT,

SEE IF THERE WAS A SIGNATURE,

MEANING A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF CHARACTERISTICS

THAT WERE IDENTICAL
IN THE DEVICES THAT WERE BUILT.

CIGAR BOMB WAS A BOX
WITH THE TUBES IN IT

WITH THE CHEMICALS
ON EITHER SIDE,

SEPARATED BY A COPPER LINER.

SO THE BOMB BUILDER
WOULD SET UP EVERYTHING,

POUR HIS ACID INTO THE DEVICE,

LET IT ACTIVATE
AND BURN THROUGH THE METAL,

AND AS SOON AS IT BURNED THROUGH
THE COPPER,

WHEN IT MIXED, THE END RESULT
IS A MASSIVE EXPLOSION.

Blum:
TOM TUNNEY LOOKS AT IT,

AND HE HAS NO IDEA
WHO COULD'VE MADE THIS.

HIS FIRST THOUGHT IS,
"THEY NEED A FACTORY."

**

TAKE THOSE BOMBS
TO THE END OF THE DOCK.

LOAD THE TNT
INTO THAT TRUNK.

IF YOU HAVE A GROUP
THAT IS PLANTING DEVICES,

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM
IS TO TURN AROUND

AND GET
SOME LOW-LEVEL OPERATIVE.

THOSE ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT
KIND TO TRY AND TRACK

BECAUSE EACH TIME,

YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSON
DOING THE DELIVERY.

EACH TIME HE BUILDS A DEVICE
AND IT FUNCTIONS,

THE BOMBER IS GETTING BETTER
AT HIS BUSINESS.

**

Jaffe:
FOR TUNNEY, THE PROBLEM BECOMES,

"WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO STRIKE
NEXT?"

**

[ EXPLOSION ]

Blum:
NAME IS ERICH MUENTER.

MAN ON A MISSION.

ALMOST LIKE LEE HARVEY OSWALD.

HE GETS 250 POUNDS OF EXPLOSIVE,

AND HE BLOWS UP
THE U.S. CAPITOL BUILDING.

HE HAD VOLUNTEERED HIS SERVICES
TO THE GERMANS,

AND THEY DECIDE,
"YEAH, THIS GUY IS NUTS.

LET'S USE HIM.

LET'S SEND HIM OUT THERE
AND SEE WHAT HE ACCOMPLISHES."

**

HE THEN FINDS THAT FUNDING
THE ALLIED WAR EFFORT

COMES FROM NEW YORK,
COMES FROM WALL STREET,

LED BY J.P. MORGAN JR.

BUT HE ULTIMATELY GIVES THEM

$2 BILLION OF HIS OWN BANK'S
MONEY TO HELP THEM,

SO HE,
IN THE EYES OF THE GERMANS,

IS THE DEVIL INCARNATE.

**

MAY I HELP YOU?

UH, YES, I AM A MEMBER
OF THE NEW YORK SOCIAL REGISTER.

I, UH, WISH TO WRITE A PIECE
ON MR. MORGAN.

YES, WE ARE OLD FRIENDS,
HIM AND I, MR. MORGAN.

[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]

MM.

MR. MORGAN
IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.

[ GUN COCKS ]

TELL ME
WHERE HE IS.

**

WHERE IS HE?!

[ SCREAMS ]

JANE!
WHAT IS IT?

[ GUNSHOTS ]

**

HE CAME VERY CLOSE TO
ACCOMPLISHING THE ASSASSINATION

OF THE NATION'S RICHEST MAN.

**

THANK YOU.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?

IS THIS
ALL OF IT?

NEIN.

THERE IS MORE.

MUCH MORE.

ALL WILL BE REVEALED
IN DUE TIME.

JULY 7th,
TO BE PRECISE.

Blum:
TOM TUNNEY SAID THAT,

"EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS
IN THE UNITED STATES

STARTS IN NEW YORK CITY,

AND IT'S MY JOB
TO PROTECT THIS CITY."

[ WHISTLES TO THE TUNE
OF "DEUTSCHLANDLIED" ]

AND HE TAKES THAT
VERY PERSONALLY.

[ GRUNTS ]

**

[ CHOKING ]

WHERE'S THE DYNAMITE?!

[ SPEAKING GERMAN ]

I'LL GIVE YOU
THE ADDRESS!

[ COUGHING ]

**

OVER HERE.

**

[ CLANKS ]

DAMN IT!

THERE'S A HUNDRED POUNDS
OF DYNAMITE IN IT.

THE OTHER 150 POUNDS OF DYNAMITE
ARE MISSING.

IT'S ENOUGH TO BLOW UP
POLICE HEADQUARTERS,

ANY BUILDING IN NEW YORK.

THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT HIS TARGET'S GOING TO BE.

**

ALL WILL BE REVEALED
IN DUE TIME.

JULY 7th,
TO BE PRECISE.

[ GRUNTS ]

WHERE'S THE DYNAMITE?!

Blum:
TOM TUNNEY'S THEORY IS,

MUENTER IS GONNA DO MORE DAMAGE
TO OTHER BUILDINGS.

WHO KNOWS WHERE THEY GO NEXT?
WOULD IT BE THE WHITE HOUSE?

WOULD IT BE
A NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY?

ANYTHING WAS POSSIBLE.

**

THIS IS
HOW YOU FOUND HIM?

**

TUNNEY REALIZES
THIS WHOLE GERMAN NETWORK

IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL.

THE HARM THAT THEY COULD CAUSE
THIS NATION IS UNIMAGINABLE,

AND HE HAS TO TRY TO STOP IT
BEFORE SOMETHING NEW HAPPENS.

AND THEN, JUST AS
HE WAS WORRYING ABOUT IT,

SOMETHING NEW DOES HAPPEN.

[ EXPLOSION ]

**

ON JULY 7th, AFTER MUENTER
IS DEAD, THE MINNEHAHA BLOWS UP.

IT'S A SHIP
THAT'S BEEN SENT TO SEA

WITH ARMAMENTS FOR THE BRITISH.

HOW DID THIS MAN KNOW
WHICH SHIP TO PICK?

THERE ARE DOZENS OF SHIPS
IN NEW YORK HARBOR.

THERE IS NO DOUBT IN HIS MIND
THAT MUENTER WAS A GERMAN AGENT.

TOM TUNNEY AND HIS MEN
ARE FIGHTING A MANY-FRONTED WAR,

AND THEY'RE TRYING TO LEARN
AS THEY FIGHT.

**

WHAT THE --

WE NEED TO TALK.

I'M THINKING IT'S TIME FOR US
TO START SHARING INFORMATION.

I KNOW YOU KNOW MORE
ABOUT THE GERMANS' OPERATION

THAN YOU'RE LETTING ON.

SECTION 5 HAS NO OBLIGATION
TO DISCLOSE AN--

WE'RE ON
THE SAME TEAM!

SAME ENEMY!

INTELLIGENCE-SHARING
CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT

BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

DEALING WITH CERTAIN AGENCIES,
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL

BECAUSE SOMETIMES,
IT CAN BE A ONE-WAY STREET.

THESE BOMBS ARE GOING OFF
EVERY DAY.

GIVE ME SOMETHING.

[ SIGHS ]

THERE IS ONE MAN.

WE DON'T KNOW
HOW HE FITS IN YET.

HIS NAME IS...
VON RINTELEN.

THEIR CHALLENGE AT THIS POINT
WAS THAT

THEY HAD A LOT OF SUSPECTS
THAT WERE WELL-VERSED

AND WELL-TRAINED
IN COUNTER-ESPIONAGE

AND KNEW QUITE A BIT
ABOUT HOW TO LOSE A TAIL,

HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOU HAD ONE,
AND IT WAS A LEARNING PROCESS.

IT WAS A NEW CONCEPT
IN POLICE WORK.

**

NO, I'M AFRAID
YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME DANCE.

NO.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

LISTEN,
I HAVE BEEN WELL-INFORMED

THAT I AM AT MY FINEST
WHEN I REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL.

CAT-AND-MOUSE GAME DEVELOPS
BETWEEN THESE TWO FIGURES.

**

[ CHUCKLES ]

**

Blum: THEY BOTH KNEW
EACH WAS ONTO THE OTHER,

AND TUNNEY SAYS, "I HAVE NOTHING
ON HIM, BUT I KNOW HE'S DIRTY."

THESE TWO MEN
GET INTO A BATTLE OF WITS,

AND AT STAKE
IS THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.

NOW,
WHERE WAS I?

BEFORE THE UNITED STATES
ENTERED THE WAR,

THERE WERE NO LAWS
AGAINST PEACETIME ESPIONAGE

IN THE UNITED STATES.

YOU DON'T BOTHER
TO OUTLAW SOMETHING

YOU'VE NEVER IMAGINED
WOULD HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

**

[ SHIP HORN BLARES ]

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
WORKED OUT A PLAN

WHERE THEY WOULD GET
VON RINTELEN

IN BRITISH TERRITORIAL WATERS.

**

DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?!

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME,
YOU FILTHY MAN.

**

GAUNT GOT HIM!

THE BRITS MUST THINK THEY'VE
CUT OFF THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE.

MEANWHILE, THE BODY
IS SUFFOCATING THIS CITY.

YOU WANT
TO EXPOSE THIS THING,

YOU NEED TO FIND
THE SMOKING GUN.

FIND SOMETHING CONCRETE

THAT LINKS THE BOMBINGS
BACK TO BERLIN.

BIGGEST SURPRISE
IN THE UNDERCOVER BUSINESS,

AS IN ANY INVESTIGATION,

YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS
YOU HAVE TO PUT ASIDE.

THE INTELLIGENCE BUSINESS
BACK IN THOSE DAYS

REQUIRED MAYBE EVEN MORE
CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION

THAN IT DOES NOW.

YOU REALLY ARE
MAKING THIS STUFF UP YOURSELF.

**

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

**

HEY,
VON KLEIST.

COME HERE.

Pistone:
PEOPLE THAT WORK UNDERCOVER,

THEY ARE AT EASE IN WHATEVER
SURROUNDINGS THEY'RE IN.

YOU NEVER TRY TO PUSH YOURSELF
UPON ANYBODY.

YOU WANT
TO IDENTIFY YOUR TARGETS

AND WHAT'S THE BEST WAY
TO INFILTRATE.

YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE.

THEY WORK US HARD
FOR NOTHING.

JA.

YOU GOT TO KNOW
WHO YOU'RE TRYING TO INFILTRATE,

ESPECIALLY IF
IT'S AN ORGANIZATION.

YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE STRUCTURE,
WHO ARE THE MEMBERS,

HOW DO THEY INTERACT
WITH EACH OTHER?

[ CONVERSING IN GERMAN ]

WHO'S OPERATING
THIS DOCK?

ALL THIS ACTIVITY,
AND YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING?

THEN YOU MUST KNOW SOMETHING.
TELL ME ANYTHING.

**

THERE'S NO DOUBT IN HIS MIND

PAUL KOENIG IS SOMEONE
THAT TOM TUNNEY SHOULD WATCH.

ANYTHING EVIL ON THE WATERFRONT
HAS TO ORIGINATE WITH KOENIG.

HE HAS HIS HANDS IN ALL OF THIS.

**

FOCUS ON KOENIG.

**

**

KOENIG HAD USED HIM
FOR A PLOT ON THE WELLAND CANAL

TO DESTROY SHIPPING
COMING OUT OF CANADA.

HE SAYS HE'S MEAN, INSOLENT,

AND HE'S VERY BITTER
TOWARDS KOENIG.

**

IN THE UNDERCOVER WORLD,
HAVE TO BUILD YOUR LEGEND.

A LEGEND IS YOUR BACKSTORY
ON WHO YOU ARE,

WHERE YOU'RE FROM, AND, AGAIN,
WHAT CAN YOU PROVIDE THEM.

THE BOMB FACTORY
IS ON THE FRIEDRICH?

Man: JA.

**

FOR ALL WE KNOW,

THERE COULD BE HUNDREDS OF
POUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES DOWN THERE.

PUT YOUR GUNS AWAY.

**

BACK AGAINST THE WALL!
UNH!

BACK UP!

**

KOENIG ISN'T HERE.

SHOULD WE
PICK HIM UP?

NO.
[ MAN SHOUTING IN GERMAN ]

TUNNEY SAYS, "NO,
MY INSTINCT IS NOT TO DO THIS.

LET'S FOLLOW KOENIG.
LET'S KEEP THIS ALIVE."

LEAVE HIM FOR NOW.

LET'S KEEP THE SURVEILLANCE
ON HIM, THOUGH.

SEE IF HE TURNS UP
ANYTHING USEFUL.

**

SEARCH THE PREMISES.

**

SCHEELE'S NOW LEFT THE COUNTRY

BECAUSE AFTER THE RAID
ON THE FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE,

AND HE'S PICKED UP
TWO YEARS LATER IN HAVANA, CUBA,

BY THE CUBAN POLICE.

**

WE PICKED UP THAT LAWYER,
BONIFACE,

WHO'S BEEN WORKING
WITH THE GERMANS.

HE'S GOT SOMETHING
YOU HAVE TO HEAR.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

VON RINTELEN.

HE'S BEEN WORKING DIRECTLY
WITH THE GERMAN EMBASSY.

THEY INSTRUCTED HIM
TO START SECURING CHEMICALS.

I ALREADY KNOW
ABOUT THE AMBASSADOR,

AND I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE
EXPLOSIVES THEY'VE BEEN MAKING.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

WE SHUT THEM DOWN!

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE IN HERE!
NO, NO, NO!

IT -- IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO
WITH BOMBS.

IT'S POISON.

IT'S ANTHRAX.

**

**

THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT HAS SET UP
A GERM FACTORY, BASICALLY,

SIX MILES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
IN CHEVY CHASE, MARYLAND.

THEIR TARGET IS THE WAR HORSES.

AMERICA HAS 21 MILLION HORSES
AT THE TIME.

[ HORSE WHINNIES ]

Jaffe:
POINT WAS TO KILL THE HORSES

SO THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO SERVE THE ENGLISH

OR FRENCH TROOPS
ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

**

Blum: TUNNEY LIVES
IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FEAR

BECAUSE THINGS WERE HAPPENING
THAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

IT WAS ONE THING

TO TEACH HIMSELF
ABOUT HOW BOMBS WERE MADE,

BUT HERE HE HAS TO LEARN
ON THE JOB

ABOUT GERM WARFARE
AND ABOUT ANTHRAX.

TUNNEY WAS ONE MAN
WHO HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS

ALL, REALLY, ON HIS OWN.

Jaffe:
THEY SENT...AGENTS TO THE BRONX,

AND A GUY
WENT FROM HORSE TO HORSE,

JABBING IT WITH A SYRINGE
FULL OF ANTHRAX.

ANTHRAX IS SPREAD IN AMERICA.

SEVERAL PEOPLE DIE
AS A RESULT OF THIS.

HORSES DIE.

TUNNEY REALIZES IT'S NOW TIME
TO BRING KOENIG IN.

YOU LISTEN TO ME!

ANYONE WHO INTERFERES
WITH THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT

WILL BE PUNISHED!

PAUL KOENIG,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

PUT THAT DOWN!

PUT THAT DOWN!

IT'S MY PROPERTY!

YOU ARE
THE CRIMINAL!

GET HIM
OUT OF HERE!

LET ME GO!
Man: MOVE IT!

YOU'LL PAY!
MOVE IT!

AMERICA WILL PAY!

**

THESE DIARIES
ARE A VERY METICULOUS REPORT.

THAT'S WHEN TOM HAS IT,

AND THAT'S WHEN HE HAS
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST KOENIG.

**

THE WILSON ADMINISTRATION
IS HAVING AN AWFULLY HARD TIME

MAINTAINING ITS PATIENCE
IN THE FACE OF GERMAN SABOTAGE.

IN EARLY 1917,

THE GERMANS RESUME
UNRESTRICTED SUBMARINE WARFARE

AS A WAY OF FINALLY TRYING

TO PREVENT MUNITIONS
FROM GETTING TO THE ALLIES.

IN APRIL OF 1917,

WOODROW WILSON ASKS CONGRESS
TO DECLARE WAR, WHICH IT DOES.

Blum: TOM TUNNEY AND HIS MEN
ARE INDUCTED INTO THE U.S. ARMY.

HE'S MADE A MAJOR
IN U.S. ARMY INTELLIGENCE.

HE WENT AROUND THE COUNTRY,
TRAINING OTHER POLICE AGENCIES

AND BASICALLY CREATING THE FIRST
HOMELAND SECURITY AGENCY

IN THE COUNTRY,
BASED OUT OF THE NEW YORK P.D.

**

Barry:
IT IS VERY POSSIBLE

THAT IF TUNNEY
HAD NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL

WITH REVEALING THAT IT WAS
GERMAN COUNTER-ESPIONAGE PEOPLE

AND SPIES CAUSING THESE EVENTS,

THE U.S. MIGHT NOT HAVE ENTERED
WORLD WAR I.

THAT WOULD'VE BEEN
A VERY BIG POSSIBILITY.

Blum:
IT WAS REALLY LUCK

THAT THE RIGHT MAN WAS IN PLACE
AT THE RIGHT TIME.

THE UNITED STATES
TAKES FROM THIS EXPERIENCE

OF THIS GERMAN SABOTAGE CAMPAIGN

A SENSE THAT THERE IS ALWAYS
A DANGER OF AN ENEMY WITHIN.

THAT WAS THE PERIOD THERE
AT WHICH WE LOST OUR INNOCENCE.

WE HAVE BEEN ON THE DEFENSE HERE
IN THE UNITED STATES EVER SINCE.

HE WAS STERN, HE WAS DIRECT,
HE WAS A NO-NONSENSE GUY.

WHAT HE SAID IS WHAT HE MEANT,
AND THERE WAS NO B.S. WITH HIM.

THE MARK THAT HE MADE
ON THE DEPARTMENT,

AS FAR AS THE CREATION
OF A BOMB SQUAD

AND ALSO AN INTELLIGENCE UNIT,
HAS STAYED THERE,

AND HE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED
FOR IT.

TOM TUNNEY'S LEGACY IS THAT,

AT A TIME WHEN AMERICA
WAS THREATENED,

HE NEVERTHELESS
WAS ABLE TO CONFRONT THIS THREAT

AND DEAL WITH IT
AND KEEP THE HOMELAND SAFE.

HE WAS THE FIRST HEAD
OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

HIS DRIVE,
HIS QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE,

HIS FIGHT, GOOD AGAINST EVIL.

**

TOM TUNNEY WAS A MAN
WITH A SENSE OF HONOR.

ONE OF THE MESSAGES HIS FATHER
PASSED ON TO HIM IS,

"DO WHAT'S RIGHT
WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT,"

AND HE DID.

TOM TUNNEY IS AN AMERICAN HERO.
