These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:27,737 --> 00:00:30,446 The story goes, it was a bright spring morning. 2 00:00:35,069 --> 00:00:39,654 Kgb colonel valery martynov and major sergei motorin 3 00:00:39,665 --> 00:00:42,332 Are high ranking soviet intelligence officers. 4 00:00:45,329 --> 00:00:48,380 Yet both are also cia spies. 5 00:00:49,425 --> 00:00:53,010 And this will be their last russian dawn. 6 00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:12,029 Some might say their fate was an occupational hazard. 7 00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:16,867 But their deaths sent a shockwave Through america's intelligence agencies. 9 00:01:16,944 --> 00:01:19,611 Because they were not alone in being betrayed. 10 00:01:22,124 --> 00:01:28,045 This is the story of robert hanssen, An american traitor who systematically dismantled 12 00:01:28,122 --> 00:01:32,758 The united states' network of undercover soviet agents From the inside out. 14 00:01:35,221 --> 00:01:37,888 Perhaps the most dangerous spy in us history, 15 00:01:38,808 --> 00:01:43,635 His actions pitted the cia against the fbi And triggered a mole hunt that brought 17 00:01:43,646 --> 00:01:46,605 The american intelligence services to their knees. 18 00:02:27,848 --> 00:02:33,694 The short-lived regimes of ailing soviet hardliners In the kremlin had heralded the rise 20 00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:37,114 Of the young, dynamic mikhail gorbachev. 21 00:02:37,191 --> 00:02:41,026 While preaching reform and rapprochement with the west, 22 00:02:41,036 --> 00:02:46,123 Gorbachev still relied on the support of factions Within the kgb that viewed america 24 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,875 And its allies as enemies. 25 00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:53,455 Behind the public smiles and handshakes, Tensions in the intelligence world 27 00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:55,132 Were ratcheting to breaking point. 28 00:03:02,892 --> 00:03:07,811 Milton bearden was deputy chief Of the cia's soviet/east european operations at the time. 30 00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:14,643 There was a very high degree of paranoia In the soviet union in the mid-80s. 32 00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:18,739 The soviet union began to enter The first stages of crumbling. 34 00:03:19,909 --> 00:03:25,487 Washington and london were putting This heavy, heavy pressure on them. 36 00:03:25,497 --> 00:03:31,835 But in 1985, in spite Of its economic and military frailties, The soviet union still appeared 39 00:03:31,912 --> 00:03:38,333 To have the upper hand in the intelligence war, By systematically exposing and eliminating 41 00:03:38,344 --> 00:03:41,428 A whole slew of cia agents in its midst. 42 00:03:43,006 --> 00:03:47,935 We lost a massive number of assets in moscow, 43 00:03:49,763 --> 00:03:55,943 All taken out and shot within a very quick period, Short period of time. 45 00:03:57,613 --> 00:04:00,113 It came as a profound shock. 46 00:04:00,190 --> 00:04:03,116 Us intelligence prided itself on being able to penetrate 47 00:04:03,193 --> 00:04:08,038 The soviet security services almost at will, Without being compromised in return. 49 00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:15,337 It was, the single word To answer what happened, betrayal. 51 00:04:19,385 --> 00:04:23,461 American counterintelligence Began to think the unthinkable, 53 00:04:23,472 --> 00:04:28,225 Someone in the cia was a traitor, a russian spy. 54 00:04:30,137 --> 00:04:35,307 We knew that there had to be a very high placed mole Within the us intelligence community 56 00:04:35,317 --> 00:04:40,821 Who had access to the names and identities Of these very, very, very secret 58 00:04:40,897 --> 00:04:42,864 High placed spies in the soviet union. 59 00:04:45,736 --> 00:04:51,239 The traitor had to be stopped Before america's intelligence network Was destroyed altogether. 62 00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:54,918 The biggest mole hunt in american history was underway. 63 00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:06,171 In the mid-1980s, special agent david major Was the fbi national security council advisor 65 00:05:06,181 --> 00:05:07,681 To president ronald reagan. 66 00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:13,937 The cia starts their study, The fbi analytical unit is doing a study. 68 00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:17,190 I know, because I was there at the time. 69 00:05:17,267 --> 00:05:21,653 Methodically, both us intelligence services Began to gather evidence. 71 00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:29,194 They start doing a study about what caused this, What is causing our loss of sources. 73 00:05:29,204 --> 00:05:34,366 The g-men of the bureau Had never really trusted the spooks of the cia. 75 00:05:34,376 --> 00:05:36,960 And the suspicion was entirely mutual. 76 00:05:37,037 --> 00:05:42,123 If there was a penetration, Which there probably was, It probably was in the cia. 79 00:05:42,134 --> 00:05:47,054 So we go back and look at every single potential penetration We ever had with the russians, 81 00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:51,475 And we'll see if we can pinpoint What's the commonality, and we do this. 83 00:05:51,551 --> 00:05:56,146 One of the people that was supervising That study was bob hanssen. 85 00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:05,322 Fbi security specialist, Robert philip hanssen Would become one of the key players 88 00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:08,733 In the mole hunt for the american traitor in the cia. 89 00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:12,287 But he wasn't your typical fbi agent. 90 00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:18,668 I met bob hanssen at fbi headquarters in about 1981. 91 00:06:20,831 --> 00:06:23,840 I realized this guy's a really bright guy. 92 00:06:23,917 --> 00:06:28,887 Now very, very shy, very introverted, doesn't talk often. 93 00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:32,015 He was a very strange man to work for. 94 00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:35,677 He lacked the basic social skills. 95 00:06:35,687 --> 00:06:37,095 He was in the budget unit. 96 00:06:37,106 --> 00:06:38,939 Nobody wants to be in the budget unit. 97 00:06:39,015 --> 00:06:40,682 So he's odd man out. 98 00:06:40,692 --> 00:06:41,775 He wasn't one of us. 99 00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:46,863 But hanssen had talents That made him valuable to the fbi. 101 00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:55,831 In 1985, he had a skill That few fbi agents had or even understood. 103 00:06:57,376 --> 00:07:00,627 Bob hanssen's hobby was running computers. 104 00:07:00,704 --> 00:07:03,046 He liked computers, he liked technology. 105 00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:08,218 So he was a geek, when geeks, Before it was fashionable to be one. 107 00:07:08,295 --> 00:07:13,298 He had an incredible level of sophistication With computer systems, at a time when the fbi 109 00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:15,383 Barely knew how to turn computers on. 110 00:07:15,394 --> 00:07:20,147 He was a wizard inside the bureau Because he understood things a lot of other people didn't. 112 00:07:20,223 --> 00:07:26,144 Thanks to his computer skills, Hanssen was promoted from the budget unit to analytics, 114 00:07:26,155 --> 00:07:28,572 Compiling data on russian intelligence. 115 00:07:29,566 --> 00:07:35,653 At a time when the fbi was still using handwritten notes, Hanssen spoke a different language. 117 00:07:35,664 --> 00:07:39,458 It made him the perfect man to help unmask the russian mole. 118 00:07:42,671 --> 00:07:49,509 He maintained a computer, a standalone computer database That we had entered all the information 120 00:07:49,586 --> 00:07:53,254 That the fbi had ever gathered from every single penetration 121 00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:58,593 It had made on the russian intelligence service, Bob hanssen essentially knew everything 123 00:07:58,604 --> 00:08:00,854 That we knew about the russian program. 124 00:08:01,857 --> 00:08:06,276 Hanssen was put in charge Of a small team of analysts tasked with going through 126 00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:09,571 All of the fbi's soviet counterintelligence files. 127 00:08:11,525 --> 00:08:16,870 The acute sensitivity and secrecy Of the operation suited hanssen perfectly. 129 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,627 He already knew the mole was an intelligence agent Who had access to the bureau's 131 00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:25,253 Most highly classified secrets. 132 00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:29,090 But bob hanssen wasn't going to share this intel. 133 00:08:29,968 --> 00:08:32,802 Because hanssen was the russian spy. 134 00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:43,638 There are many reasons that people Betray their own countries. 136 00:08:43,649 --> 00:08:48,527 Undeniably ideology and politics have some role to play, 137 00:08:49,071 --> 00:08:53,156 But really most reasons for committing treason are personal. 138 00:08:54,826 --> 00:08:59,571 Dr. David charney had a unique insight Into the mind of robert hanssen. 140 00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:00,956 He was his psychiatrist. 141 00:09:02,834 --> 00:09:09,914 He was frustrated because He wanted to be a success, And he was a partial success. 144 00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:17,806 But that wasn't enough, and that led to I think A sense of alienation, anger. 146 00:09:19,175 --> 00:09:26,273 He joined the fbi to be james bond, And they had made him a librarian, and he was angry. 148 00:09:26,349 --> 00:09:30,110 They didn't listen to him, they didn't give him The job he wanted, and he needed money. 150 00:09:31,947 --> 00:09:34,864 In 1985, hanssen was married with six children, 151 00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:38,994 Mortgaged to the hilt, and making barely $46,000 a year. 152 00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:45,700 He needed to support his wife, He wanted to send the children To expensive catholic schools. 155 00:09:45,711 --> 00:09:51,631 Where men have trouble dealing with things That don't go well in their life, 157 00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:54,968 They've got to do something to fix it. 158 00:09:55,045 --> 00:10:00,974 And sometimes the fix can be something Very terrible, turning traitor. 160 00:10:14,906 --> 00:10:17,616 Hanssen's treachery had a simple beginning. 161 00:10:22,072 --> 00:10:27,075 He sent an unsigned letter to victor cherkashin, The man he knew was the kgb's 163 00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:29,085 Head of counterintelligence in washington. 164 00:10:30,339 --> 00:10:37,093 In it, hanssen offered his services, Requested $100,000, and as a sign of goodwill 166 00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:44,601 Revealed the names of the cia informants Known as m and m, martynov and motorin. 168 00:10:44,678 --> 00:10:50,523 With a single unsolicited letter Hanssen had sent two soviet us informants to their deaths. 170 00:10:57,357 --> 00:11:03,953 The russians do not play games With people who betray the motherland. 172 00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:08,124 And bob hanssen alone is responsible for that happening. 173 00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:14,923 But this was just the beginning. 174 00:11:16,218 --> 00:11:19,678 Because hanssen was sitting on an intelligence goldmine. 175 00:11:21,381 --> 00:11:23,973 He had access to a treasure trove of information. 176 00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:29,053 The russians knew our game plan, How we operate, where we go, 178 00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:31,731 How many agents we have, how much surveillance we have. 179 00:11:32,651 --> 00:11:35,568 Bob hanssen compromised every single human source 180 00:11:35,645 --> 00:11:38,321 That the fbi had ever worked against the russians. 181 00:11:39,649 --> 00:11:42,575 He compromised hundreds of double agents. 182 00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:52,577 Hanssen delivered his secrets to the soviets Using old fashioned spy craft, 184 00:11:52,587 --> 00:11:54,295 A method known as a dead drop. 185 00:11:58,251 --> 00:12:02,762 Hanssen wrapped the documents in plastic bags And hid them at a pre - Arranged location 187 00:12:02,839 --> 00:12:04,756 Near his home in virginia. 188 00:12:04,766 --> 00:12:09,644 He placed a piece of white tape on a signpost As the signal his drop had been made. 190 00:12:11,848 --> 00:12:16,609 It meant that hanssen never had to meet The soviets handlers face to face. 192 00:12:16,686 --> 00:12:19,854 He was smart enough to know That he needed to keep his true identity 194 00:12:19,865 --> 00:12:22,824 Hidden from the kgb as much as from the fbi. 195 00:12:25,287 --> 00:12:29,622 Cherkashin and the soviets Had no idea about his identity. 197 00:12:29,699 --> 00:12:36,454 The greatest danger for spies of any side Is to be exposed by spies on the other side. 199 00:12:36,465 --> 00:12:39,966 Spies catch spies, that's the usual saying. 200 00:12:41,294 --> 00:12:47,799 Using the alias of ramon garcia, Hanssen made 22 dead drops in five years, 202 00:12:47,809 --> 00:12:53,646 Supplying the kgb with not only the identities Of us agents in russia, but thousands of pages 204 00:12:53,723 --> 00:12:56,357 Of america's most closely guarded secrets. 205 00:12:57,402 --> 00:12:58,610 The damage ran deep. 206 00:13:00,071 --> 00:13:04,482 He compromised our continuity government program, Which is one of the greatest secrets we had, 208 00:13:04,493 --> 00:13:07,735 And that is how do you respond at a time of nuclear attack. 209 00:13:07,746 --> 00:13:09,996 It's unheard of the amount of insight they had. 210 00:13:11,074 --> 00:13:14,751 The fbi was now running The biggest spy hunt in living memory, 212 00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:16,961 To track down the source of these leaks. 213 00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:28,723 But by 1994, the mole hunt was seemingly No closer to finding the traitor. 215 00:13:32,938 --> 00:13:35,772 They decide to go back and look At all the people that could have known 217 00:13:35,849 --> 00:13:38,525 About these cases that were compromised. 218 00:13:38,601 --> 00:13:40,268 There were 20 that itzeroed in on. 219 00:13:40,278 --> 00:13:41,319 I was on that list. 220 00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,656 One name stood out from the crowd, 221 00:13:47,527 --> 00:13:51,079 A cia agent who had received money from a suspicious source. 222 00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:58,711 They began to realize that there was this money That was deposited in his account. 224 00:13:58,788 --> 00:14:04,968 Further digging revealed the cia officer Had been in contact with russians in washington dc. 226 00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:09,639 They noticed he'd meet the russian, Then there'd be a deposit. 228 00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:12,717 He'd meet him, then there'd be a deposit. 229 00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:14,477 And so something was wrong here. 230 00:14:14,554 --> 00:14:18,139 And so one of them he eventually said, "you know, this doesn't take a brain surgeon 232 00:14:18,149 --> 00:14:20,024 "to realize something's going on here." 233 00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:26,489 The mole hunters believed they had found the traitor 234 00:14:26,566 --> 00:14:29,742 Who had sent so many loyal agents to their deaths, 235 00:14:29,819 --> 00:14:33,788 A man they believed was the most dangerous mole In intelligence history. 237 00:14:38,661 --> 00:14:39,627 How wrong they were. 238 00:14:46,011 --> 00:14:50,421 After a nine year mole hunt, The man the fbi finally arrested 240 00:14:50,432 --> 00:14:56,603 For selling state secrets to the russians was aldrich ames, An officer in the cia's 242 00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:58,688 Soviet counterintelligence division. 243 00:15:00,775 --> 00:15:08,114 Well ames, he was a pretty mediocre officer, But he was an officer within the cia 245 00:15:08,191 --> 00:15:13,119 And he did have access to an awful lot of stuff. 246 00:15:13,529 --> 00:15:19,667 He's sitting there on top of all these cases, For example, that we're running in moscow. 248 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:27,875 The fbi's investigation revealed That on June 13th, 1985, aldrich ames 250 00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:32,805 Had walked into chadwick's restaurant in washington dc For an authorized meeting 252 00:15:32,882 --> 00:15:35,391 With a diplomat from the soviet embassy. 253 00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:41,147 But instead, at the table Was soviet counterintelligence chief, victor cherkashin. 255 00:15:42,809 --> 00:15:48,154 During his time as moscow correspondent, Greg feifer, got to know cherkashin well. 257 00:15:49,482 --> 00:15:54,911 At one point during this half an hour conversation, Ames took out a piece of notepaper 259 00:15:54,988 --> 00:16:01,376 And wrote down the list Of many of the american assets in the ussr. 261 00:16:03,329 --> 00:16:15,264 This was at the very least One of the most stunning Intelligence coups in kgb history. 264 00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:24,107 Ames gave the soviets information About virtually every agent they had inside the ussr. 266 00:16:26,361 --> 00:16:29,946 Aldrich ames was no less than a serial murderer. 267 00:16:30,023 --> 00:16:31,614 He killed all those people. 268 00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:37,120 But unlike hanssen, ames had become careless. 269 00:16:37,196 --> 00:16:41,791 He had done about $40,000 worth of work on his teeth. 271 00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:44,785 Then his wardrobe got a little better. 272 00:16:44,796 --> 00:16:50,091 He bought a 500 and something Thousand dollar house for cash. 274 00:16:51,052 --> 00:16:57,140 The money trail Led the fbi back to ames's meeting With cherkashin in chadwick's restaurant. 277 00:16:57,216 --> 00:17:00,226 The evidence was damning and conviction swift. 278 00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:08,276 Ames was sentenced to life in prison, And he's currently in a medium security prison in indiana, 280 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,486 Never to be released. 281 00:17:13,983 --> 00:17:17,485 There was relief and elation In us intelligence circles 283 00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:19,954 That the russian agent had finally been caught. 284 00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:23,416 And it only made hanssen feel more secure. 285 00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:28,755 He thought any other spy, Including aldrich ames and others, were bumbling idiots. 287 00:17:28,831 --> 00:17:30,673 He was the only really great spy. 288 00:17:32,835 --> 00:17:38,431 At his request, the kgb rewarded hanssen With a modest gift of just a few thousand dollars, 290 00:17:38,508 --> 00:17:40,099 So as not to raise suspicion. 291 00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:44,479 For hanssen that was payment enough. 292 00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:47,014 It wasn't about money. 293 00:17:47,025 --> 00:17:48,900 Bob was driven by other demons. 294 00:17:55,700 --> 00:18:01,913 Often agents turn traitor For reasons of greed, ideology, or revenge. 296 00:18:03,199 --> 00:18:05,333 For hanssen, it seems more complicated. 297 00:18:08,204 --> 00:18:10,254 His life was full of contradictions. 298 00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:18,129 He converted to catholicism And took it very, very, very seriously. 300 00:18:18,139 --> 00:18:26,395 So much so that he adopted A more serious subset of it called opus dei, 302 00:18:26,472 --> 00:18:31,025 And he was very serious about adhering to its rules. 303 00:18:35,406 --> 00:18:40,243 I think there must have been a constant anguish 304 00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:45,289 And turmoil about who he actually was as a person. 305 00:18:46,242 --> 00:18:51,629 And trying to resolve his devout religious faith, His sense of right and wrong. 307 00:18:56,010 --> 00:19:01,305 Hanssen would spy for the russians, And then turn to god on his lunch break for forgiveness. 309 00:19:02,851 --> 00:19:06,727 As he saw it, he returned to his desk Absolved of his worldly sins. 311 00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:13,109 Hanssen is one of the most complicated, Complex people that I've met with. 313 00:19:13,186 --> 00:19:20,024 Of all the people that I've met in my regular practice I would put him at the top rank of people 315 00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:24,954 Who live very much of a compartmentalized mental life. 316 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,373 I don't know how he did it. 317 00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:36,540 A devout man was such an unlikely traitor That his fellow mole hunters never suspected him. 319 00:19:36,551 --> 00:19:38,759 His faith had become his cover. 320 00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:44,798 Ames' arrest in 1994 321 00:19:44,809 --> 00:19:47,059 Should have put an end to the fbi's mole hunt. 322 00:19:47,979 --> 00:19:49,553 But not everything was adding up. 323 00:19:50,973 --> 00:19:55,359 Investigators were unable to link All of the intelligence leaks to aldrich ames. 325 00:19:56,821 --> 00:20:02,158 Ames was not in a position To know about the bloch case, And therefore it didn't explain 328 00:20:02,235 --> 00:20:04,235 What had happened with bloch. 329 00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:08,915 In the late 1980's, felix bloch Was a senior state department official, 331 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:12,627 A man the fbi suspected of espionage. 332 00:20:13,996 --> 00:20:20,593 They listened to his telephone conversations, And they realized he was going to have a meeting 334 00:20:20,670 --> 00:20:22,336 With somebody in paris. 335 00:20:22,347 --> 00:20:23,804 We figured we had a spy. 336 00:20:25,258 --> 00:20:30,686 They had him surrounded at the hotel, And at the last minute felix bloch gets a phone call. 338 00:20:33,608 --> 00:20:37,109 He never meets his intelligence officer. 339 00:20:38,187 --> 00:20:39,570 The fbi never catches him. 340 00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,323 A mole had tipped him off. 341 00:20:45,027 --> 00:20:49,538 Federal investigators realized the tip-off Could not have come from aldrich ames, 343 00:20:49,615 --> 00:20:52,083 Because he was unaware of the bloch investigation. 344 00:20:53,202 --> 00:21:01,467 So, it had to be somebody else, somebody with, With good information about the felix bloch case. 346 00:21:01,544 --> 00:21:03,469 And we knew that we still had this mole, 347 00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:10,017 Once again, the rivalry Between cia and fbi confused the issue. 349 00:21:11,062 --> 00:21:12,979 It was their guy who screwed up. 350 00:21:13,055 --> 00:21:16,232 And so, the next time the suspicion arose, 351 00:21:16,309 --> 00:21:21,195 It was natural for the fbi to say it might be the cia again. 352 00:21:23,574 --> 00:21:27,910 The fbi hastily assembled A new team of mole hunters. 354 00:21:27,987 --> 00:21:32,665 They operated out of the black vault, A secure room at fbi headquarters. 356 00:21:34,168 --> 00:21:37,712 Right across the hallway was robert hanssen's old office. 357 00:21:39,582 --> 00:21:44,418 It's a lot harder to spot spying than is thought. 358 00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:51,600 You can really get away with it for far longer Than you might imagine if you're any good at all. 360 00:21:51,677 --> 00:22:00,443 Because people don't wanna think about somebody Sitting next to you in the next cubicle as a spy. 362 00:22:02,030 --> 00:22:08,951 Hanssen had been careful and meticulous, But in early 1993, he made a mistake. 364 00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:12,112 One that should have led to his downfall. 365 00:22:12,123 --> 00:22:20,087 He was found to have hacked Into the double agent operations within the russian section. 367 00:22:21,957 --> 00:22:26,135 This was the inner sanctum Of the fbi's counterintelligence operations, 369 00:22:26,212 --> 00:22:30,890 Where the identities of all those suspected Of spying for the russians were kept. 371 00:22:30,966 --> 00:22:33,476 It should have triggered hanssen's immediate arrest. 372 00:22:35,221 --> 00:22:37,855 Instead, hanssen calmly talked his way out of it. 373 00:22:39,650 --> 00:22:42,976 The rationale that he gave was that he was trying 374 00:22:42,987 --> 00:22:47,656 To show that the system was fragile and easy to hack 375 00:22:47,733 --> 00:22:52,328 And that it should be a heads up to the powers that be. 376 00:22:53,239 --> 00:22:55,414 The fbi had missed a red flag. 377 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,753 Hanssen continued to hack into the fbi mainframe, 378 00:23:00,830 --> 00:23:03,381 This time to see if he was on the bureau's watchlist. 379 00:23:04,425 --> 00:23:08,886 Because by now hanssen had reached tipping point And wanted out. 381 00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:12,181 Conflict, conflict. 382 00:23:13,342 --> 00:23:15,601 Do I really wanna do this? 383 00:23:15,678 --> 00:23:17,678 Is this something that I want to do? 384 00:23:17,688 --> 00:23:20,106 Is it safe for me to do this? 385 00:23:20,182 --> 00:23:25,403 Is it possible something terrible will happen And I really should get out of doing it now? 387 00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:29,365 Can I ever have a normal life again? 388 00:23:29,442 --> 00:23:32,785 All these thoughts are in the mind I believe of every spy. 389 00:23:34,196 --> 00:23:39,366 All this time, hanssen was able To avoid suspicion because the fbi investigators 391 00:23:39,377 --> 00:23:41,919 Still believed the traitor was in the cia. 392 00:23:48,386 --> 00:23:51,720 By 1998, they had a shortlist of suspects. 393 00:23:54,300 --> 00:24:00,729 They zeroed in on seven people inside the cia In a position to know about the bloch case. 395 00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:05,067 One of the men that was there was brian kelley, Because brian kelley had been 397 00:24:05,144 --> 00:24:06,861 In the right place at the right time. 398 00:24:08,489 --> 00:24:15,819 Brian kelley was a cia specialist in illegals, Russian spies who worked without diplomatic cover. 400 00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:21,333 He was made prime suspect Because of his direct involvement In the felix bloch case. 403 00:24:21,410 --> 00:24:24,411 They start an intensive investigation into brian kelley. 404 00:24:24,422 --> 00:24:30,834 He's surveilled every single day, They have aircraft on him every single day. 406 00:24:30,845 --> 00:24:39,268 They tried all kinds of I would call it tricks To get him to reveal what his true identity was. 408 00:24:40,688 --> 00:24:49,353 They found a map on his kitchen table That they misconstrued as being a drop site map. 410 00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:53,949 It turned out to be brian kelley's jogging map. 411 00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:57,620 Brian kelley was very convenient for hanssen. 412 00:24:57,696 --> 00:25:01,782 He lived around the corner from hanssen, His jogging route took him past 414 00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:05,419 Some of his hanssen's signal sites and drop sites. 415 00:25:06,455 --> 00:25:12,885 By 2000, after over a decade of investigation, The fbi was no closer to catching the mole. 417 00:25:15,881 --> 00:25:17,723 But then they had a stroke of luck. 418 00:25:21,979 --> 00:25:25,639 They came into contact with a disgruntled former soviet spy 419 00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:28,400 Who claimed he had a piece of electrifying evidence, 420 00:25:29,987 --> 00:25:34,782 The kgb file on the russian mole known as ramon garcia. 421 00:25:36,151 --> 00:25:44,208 A couple of scraps of evidence, a garbage bag Used to hand over a dead drop of documents, 423 00:25:45,661 --> 00:25:47,753 And also there was a telephone recording. 424 00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:54,009 At one point ramon garcia Spoke to one of cherkashin's subordinates. 426 00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:58,722 The price of the kgb file was a staggering $7 million. 427 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,104 To the fbi, it was a small price to pay To unmask once and for all 429 00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:08,482 The greatest traitor in us intelligence history. 430 00:26:13,272 --> 00:26:19,192 The fbi had paid $7 million for a secret kgb file That would unmask a mole 432 00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:23,205 Within the us intelligence community, A mole who had been giving away 434 00:26:23,282 --> 00:26:25,749 State secrets for over a decade. 435 00:26:28,462 --> 00:26:32,122 When they eventually get the file, And in it is a tape recording. 437 00:26:32,133 --> 00:26:35,467 And that tape recording Is supposed to be between the source, 439 00:26:35,544 --> 00:26:38,053 The mole if you would, and the kgb officer. 440 00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:45,644 After a 15 year man hunt, federal agents Were going to hear the evidence that would nail the man 442 00:26:45,721 --> 00:26:48,480 Who had betrayed his country and its agents. 443 00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:54,612 They are convinced they know who the traitor is And that this will confirm their suspicions. 445 00:26:55,906 --> 00:26:58,991 They know it's going to be brian kelley And they're going to be able to make a case. 447 00:26:59,068 --> 00:27:04,705 So, when they finally turn it on, They listen to it, it's not brian kelley. 449 00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:14,590 The fbi was shocked When they heard that taped phone call. 451 00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:16,592 "wow," they said, "that's bob hanssen." 452 00:27:24,769 --> 00:27:28,729 Of all the people you thought would ever do this, Bob hanssen was not one of them. 454 00:27:31,942 --> 00:27:34,610 It was a revelation that would tear the bureau apart. 455 00:27:35,863 --> 00:27:40,691 All the time, they'd been looking at the cia As the source of the treachery. 457 00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:43,285 And now they knew the traitor worked from within. 458 00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:48,749 Hiding in plain sight, hanssen had made fools of them all. 459 00:27:50,044 --> 00:27:54,296 To take him down, they'd have to find evidence That would stand up in court. 461 00:27:54,373 --> 00:27:55,673 And that wouldn't be easy. 462 00:28:00,888 --> 00:28:04,214 Bob hanssen was a trained Counterintelligence officer. 464 00:28:04,225 --> 00:28:09,103 He spent his career looking for spies, So he knows how spies are caught. 466 00:28:11,065 --> 00:28:13,899 The fbi needed a special kind of spy catcher, 467 00:28:14,819 --> 00:28:17,903 Someone who could equal hanssen's computer skills 468 00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:21,573 And who could get close to him without arousing suspicion. 469 00:28:21,650 --> 00:28:24,067 They chose eric o'neill. 470 00:28:24,078 --> 00:28:25,661 I was a ghost. 471 00:28:25,738 --> 00:28:28,655 The official title is investigative specialist, 472 00:28:28,666 --> 00:28:32,251 Which means an undercover operative who follows people. 473 00:28:32,327 --> 00:28:36,496 I spent my days following spies and terrorists, Tracking them from the morning 475 00:28:36,507 --> 00:28:39,550 Until they were asleep at night And sometimes listening to them sleep. 477 00:28:40,836 --> 00:28:44,346 Like hanssen, o'neill Had a very particular skillset. 479 00:28:49,937 --> 00:28:55,348 The problem was that hanssen was a computer genius, He was a hacker. 481 00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:58,694 He could breach systems, He could write programming language. 483 00:28:58,771 --> 00:29:02,439 And they had to find someone who understood computer systems 484 00:29:02,450 --> 00:29:05,117 In order to investigate him, and that was me. 485 00:29:08,030 --> 00:29:09,413 I was their only option. 486 00:29:14,703 --> 00:29:19,381 O'neill became hanssen's new aide, The perfect cover to stay close to his target. 488 00:29:23,053 --> 00:29:28,056 We needed not only to catch him Spying for the russians, 490 00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:30,642 We believed he was still active and we wanted to catch him 491 00:29:30,719 --> 00:29:34,480 Making a drop of secrets to the russians. 492 00:29:34,556 --> 00:29:37,566 So, they positioned him Where they could watch his every move. 494 00:29:38,903 --> 00:29:43,989 They put him in charge of looking At the fbi's security technology, 496 00:29:44,066 --> 00:29:49,569 Looking at the fbi's computer systems And devising methods where we could better secure them 498 00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:53,490 From outside attackers and inside penetrations. 499 00:29:53,501 --> 00:29:57,661 The fbi appeared to have placed The biggest spy in us history, 501 00:29:57,671 --> 00:30:00,330 A computer hacker who had been handing state secrets 502 00:30:00,341 --> 00:30:04,751 To the kgb for decades, in charge of cyber security. 503 00:30:04,762 --> 00:30:10,841 In fact, it was a ruse to track hanssen's movements And enable o'neill to get closer to him. 505 00:30:10,851 --> 00:30:12,509 Hey, bill. 506 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,022 My first conversation with hanssen, And one of the first things he tells me is, 508 00:30:17,099 --> 00:30:21,610 "what we're doing here in information assurance section, "we are hunting spies. 510 00:30:21,687 --> 00:30:24,771 "and we will find the spies in the worst possible place." 511 00:30:24,782 --> 00:30:29,284 Now to do this day, I don't know whether He was challenging me to catch him 513 00:30:29,361 --> 00:30:31,829 Or whether he was just trying to be a mentor. 514 00:30:33,365 --> 00:30:37,167 Privately, doubts appear To have been forming in hanssen's mind. 516 00:30:38,787 --> 00:30:43,957 He regularly hacked into the fbi database To see if his name appeared on any investigations 518 00:30:43,968 --> 00:30:46,927 Into operation graysuit, the mole's codename. 519 00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:54,059 He found nothing except files on cia operative brian kelley. 520 00:30:54,136 --> 00:30:58,480 When hanssen learned About the brian kelley investigation, 522 00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:04,111 And learned that they thought brian kelley was graysuit, It made him feel very confident. 524 00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:08,323 Hanssen continued To plan his drops to the russians. 526 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,786 The location, a park just a few hundred yards From his home in virginia. 528 00:31:15,416 --> 00:31:21,169 On one surveillance recce, the fbi caught him Casing the area four times in one day. 530 00:31:21,246 --> 00:31:22,754 But even this wasn't enough. 531 00:31:24,174 --> 00:31:27,334 We needed him making a drop to the russians 532 00:31:27,344 --> 00:31:31,430 So we could catch him red-handed in the act of espionage. 533 00:31:34,092 --> 00:31:39,679 I needed to find a way to get information That would lead us to when he would make 535 00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:42,349 A next drop to the russians, because we believed 536 00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:45,861 He was going to make a drop of secrets to the russians. 537 00:31:45,938 --> 00:31:49,114 I looked at everything that surrounded hanssen, 538 00:31:49,191 --> 00:31:51,783 All of the things he said, all of the things he did. 539 00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:59,166 And the one thing that he protected Most zealously was his personal device, 541 00:32:01,879 --> 00:32:04,371 A palmpilot. 542 00:32:04,381 --> 00:32:08,291 O'neill suspected hanssen's palmpilot Held encrypted information 544 00:32:08,302 --> 00:32:12,054 About kgb dead drop locations and times. 545 00:32:12,130 --> 00:32:15,307 To bait a trap, o'neill had to get hold of that palmpilot. 546 00:32:17,302 --> 00:32:22,147 And hanssen had this Very significant and obvious routine. 548 00:32:22,224 --> 00:32:25,725 He would keep it in his left back pocket And every time he sat down at his desk 550 00:32:25,736 --> 00:32:30,072 He'd put it in a bag that he kept In the same spot every day. 552 00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:31,648 Like clockwork. 553 00:32:31,659 --> 00:32:33,825 So I knew we had to get that away from him. 554 00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:39,998 The plan was simple. 555 00:32:40,075 --> 00:32:44,336 Hanssen would be summoned to the firing range Under the pretext of a formal assessment. 557 00:32:46,423 --> 00:32:48,840 He had a tough time getting him to go to firearms. 558 00:32:48,917 --> 00:32:52,002 You're supposed to go every quarter, and he just didn't go. 559 00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:56,172 Being ordered to go down to firearms Was not something that he would love doing. 561 00:32:56,183 --> 00:33:00,352 The order was intended To make him angry enough to forget his palmpilot 563 00:33:00,429 --> 00:33:03,647 And give o'neil enough time to steal the data from it. 564 00:33:04,608 --> 00:33:07,350 At 12.05 they make the call. 565 00:33:08,770 --> 00:33:09,569 Really? 566 00:33:10,864 --> 00:33:11,780 Again? 567 00:33:13,534 --> 00:33:16,368 He stands up angrily, he grabs his firearm. 568 00:33:16,445 --> 00:33:21,331 And for the first time he forgets To reach down and grab his palmpilot. 570 00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:27,379 And goes down all those flights of steps 571 00:33:27,456 --> 00:33:30,173 To the sub basement where the fbi has their shooting range. 572 00:33:34,046 --> 00:33:35,137 I go over to his bag, 573 00:33:36,557 --> 00:33:38,265 And I grabbed the palmpilot, 574 00:33:40,894 --> 00:33:43,887 Run down three flights of steps to where we had a tech team 575 00:33:43,897 --> 00:33:46,732 Set up with all sorts of computer equipment. 576 00:33:46,808 --> 00:33:50,902 As soon as they start to copy it I get a text on my pager. 577 00:33:50,979 --> 00:33:53,980 Apparently, hanssen had got down to the range, 578 00:33:53,991 --> 00:33:58,660 Had set his target, pulled his firearm, fired a few times... 579 00:34:02,166 --> 00:34:06,585 Then holstered his firearm, excused himself, And walked right back to the room. 581 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,664 Now I knew I had about nine minutes. 582 00:34:11,675 --> 00:34:14,084 It took that long to get all the way up to the ninth floor. 583 00:34:14,094 --> 00:34:16,836 I told the tech team, "you've got to hurry." 584 00:34:16,847 --> 00:34:21,099 And finally, they get it finished, They hand me the devices and say, "run." 586 00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:30,692 I bolt up three flights of steps, I get to his office, I kneel down in front of his bag. 588 00:34:30,769 --> 00:34:34,529 I've got a good two minutes before he shows up by my watch. 589 00:34:34,606 --> 00:34:38,617 And I look at his bag and I realize, There are four pockets. 591 00:34:40,445 --> 00:34:44,614 And I can't for the life of me remember what pockets I've pulled these things out of. 593 00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:46,917 Horrible rookie mistake. 594 00:34:49,213 --> 00:34:54,874 The success of the 15 year spy hunt Could rest on o'neill's next move. 596 00:34:54,885 --> 00:34:59,805 If I got the palmpilot wrong, The game is over, the case is done. 598 00:34:59,881 --> 00:35:03,850 There's a good chance he will shoot me Because he knows that he's finished. 600 00:35:04,812 --> 00:35:06,686 Door closing. 601 00:35:10,475 --> 00:35:12,609 He comes through the door into the office. 602 00:35:14,229 --> 00:35:19,157 And he glares at me, goes into his back office. 603 00:35:22,571 --> 00:35:25,905 And I hear him checking for his palmpilot. 604 00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:31,002 And he gives me this angry look and he says, "were you in my office?" 606 00:35:31,079 --> 00:35:37,750 And I sat back, had a neutral expression, Looked at him and said, "yeah I was in your office. 608 00:35:37,761 --> 00:35:40,587 "I put a memo in your inbox, didn't you see it?" 609 00:35:40,597 --> 00:35:47,561 And he looks at me, and then he looks at me and he says, "I never want you in my office again." 611 00:35:58,949 --> 00:36:03,118 When analysts decoded the data On hanssen's palmpilot, they found a reference 613 00:36:03,195 --> 00:36:05,162 To a dead drop in three weeks' time. 614 00:36:07,374 --> 00:36:12,961 We knew that hanssen was planning to make a drop Under a footbridge in foxstone park 616 00:36:13,881 --> 00:36:17,549 On a Sunday night at about seven o'clock. 617 00:36:18,802 --> 00:36:23,805 What the fbi didn't know Was the hanssen was planning To quit spying for the russians. 620 00:36:24,725 --> 00:36:27,726 This was the fbi's only chance to catch him red handed. 621 00:36:36,895 --> 00:36:39,062 The net was closing around the most prolific 622 00:36:39,072 --> 00:36:44,034 And damaging spy in us history, a man who, for 15 years, 623 00:36:44,736 --> 00:36:47,954 Had sold america's best-kept secrets to her greatest enemy. 624 00:36:49,082 --> 00:36:52,575 The last time I saw bob hanssen, I said, "bob, you look terrible." 626 00:36:52,586 --> 00:36:54,327 I said, "what are you doing?" 627 00:36:54,338 --> 00:36:55,337 He says, "well they've just forgotten me in the bureau. 628 00:36:55,413 --> 00:37:00,091 "I'm going to retire next year, "but I just, you know I just, I'm miserable." 630 00:37:00,168 --> 00:37:01,668 It was interesting. 631 00:37:01,678 --> 00:37:05,639 The strain of leading a double life Was finally getting to hanssen. 633 00:37:06,675 --> 00:37:08,433 He was spooked. 634 00:37:08,510 --> 00:37:10,268 He thought he had heard radio signals coming from his car, 635 00:37:10,345 --> 00:37:12,604 The tell-tale signs of a bugging device. 636 00:37:13,941 --> 00:37:16,608 Life is a misery for these people. 637 00:37:16,685 --> 00:37:21,521 They're all the time terrified of being caught. 638 00:37:21,531 --> 00:37:26,368 Sooner or later in the counterintelligence world, I'm totally convinced, 640 00:37:26,444 --> 00:37:31,281 That the spy gets betrayed, almost always. 641 00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:39,214 So you're under this stress constantly, Fear, uncertainty, and uncertainty 643 00:37:39,291 --> 00:37:41,925 Is the worst state for a human to deal with. 644 00:37:43,303 --> 00:37:47,964 And I think the tiresomeness of it gets to people. 645 00:37:47,975 --> 00:37:51,810 They're so sick of that life That they just wanna get it over with. 647 00:37:53,638 --> 00:37:58,316 In the third week of February 2001, Hanssen prepared for his final 649 00:37:58,393 --> 00:38:00,151 Drop of secrets to the russians. 650 00:38:03,148 --> 00:38:08,576 In what was effectively his resignation letter to the kgb, He seems to recognize his fate. 652 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,166 He wrote, "it seems however it is time "to seclude myself from active service. 654 00:38:15,243 --> 00:38:18,169 "something has aroused the sleeping tiger" 655 00:38:18,246 --> 00:38:21,331 Meaning the fbi is awakened. 656 00:38:21,341 --> 00:38:23,508 He should go to ground, he shouldn't do anything. 657 00:38:23,585 --> 00:38:25,176 You shouldn't be going filling a dead drop. 658 00:38:25,253 --> 00:38:26,928 You should just stop. 659 00:38:27,005 --> 00:38:30,557 But he didn't, 'cause I think He had to play out the last chapter. 661 00:38:31,685 --> 00:38:37,355 On February 18th, 2001, The fbi began the single most important operation 663 00:38:37,432 --> 00:38:39,733 In its history of counterintelligence. 664 00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:49,492 At four p.M., agents arrived to stake out The bridge at foxstone park, codenamed ellis. 666 00:38:51,112 --> 00:38:53,455 But almost immediately there was a problem. 667 00:38:55,876 --> 00:39:00,378 He arrives early, they expect him to be At seven o'clock to come to fill the dead drop. 669 00:39:00,455 --> 00:39:03,539 And he doesn't, he shows up way early. 670 00:39:03,550 --> 00:39:06,926 The surveillance team's only been Put in place for like 15 minutes. 672 00:39:08,630 --> 00:39:09,804 And in drives bob hanssen. 673 00:39:09,881 --> 00:39:11,056 Everyone is scrambling. 674 00:39:13,051 --> 00:39:15,060 They have cameras and everything else on ellis, 675 00:39:15,136 --> 00:39:18,388 This place he'd done before, and he doesn't go there. 676 00:39:18,398 --> 00:39:19,731 Turns around and goes into the woods. 677 00:39:19,808 --> 00:39:21,232 Oh my god, where's he going? 678 00:39:24,646 --> 00:39:28,907 What the fbi didn't know Was that the kgb had switched the location 680 00:39:28,983 --> 00:39:30,617 To a different part of the park. 681 00:39:33,830 --> 00:39:36,081 Hanssen made his final drop unseen 682 00:39:37,584 --> 00:39:39,167 And the fbi had missed it. 683 00:39:40,745 --> 00:39:43,162 The second he walked off that bridge feeling elated, 684 00:39:43,173 --> 00:39:46,424 Like he'd just made his last drop to the russians, Feeling all these emotions, 686 00:39:46,501 --> 00:39:50,595 That he was going to retire as a spy, That this was his final moment, his swan song, 688 00:39:54,518 --> 00:39:55,558 Swat team showed up, 689 00:40:03,944 --> 00:40:05,235 Put handcuffs on him. 690 00:40:08,448 --> 00:40:12,525 Despite missing the drop, The fbi had had to seize the moment. 692 00:40:16,114 --> 00:40:18,289 Then hanssen did something odd. 693 00:40:22,212 --> 00:40:26,881 They take him into the car And they ask him one question, "were you working just for the russians 696 00:40:26,958 --> 00:40:28,550 "or russians and others?" 697 00:40:28,626 --> 00:40:30,710 And bob says, "just for the russians." 698 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:34,046 Well you know what that constituted, a confession. 699 00:40:34,057 --> 00:40:38,226 When he said that, he just confessed To the agents for being a spy for the russians. 701 00:40:38,303 --> 00:40:39,602 By answering that question. 702 00:40:40,972 --> 00:40:45,224 Hanssen's takedown Had been a top-secret operation in the fbi. 704 00:40:45,235 --> 00:40:49,529 So, when the news broke within its ranks, It rocked the bureau to its core. 706 00:40:51,491 --> 00:40:57,662 Yeah, I think those of us who worked for bob Would never forgot where each of us was 708 00:40:57,739 --> 00:41:00,907 At the time we learned about bob's arrest. 709 00:41:00,917 --> 00:41:03,075 I was driving to work. 710 00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:04,827 I had to pull the car over. 711 00:41:04,838 --> 00:41:08,998 I immediately felt like I had been punched In the stomach. 713 00:41:09,009 --> 00:41:12,844 And then drove the rest of the way Into the office, dumbfounded. 715 00:41:24,107 --> 00:41:27,859 There were literally people crying In the halls of the fbi. 717 00:41:28,770 --> 00:41:34,782 Hardcore, stoic agents who had learned That their entire career had been a waste, 719 00:41:34,859 --> 00:41:36,868 That everything that they had done 720 00:41:38,112 --> 00:41:41,197 Hanssen was undoing behind the scenes. 721 00:41:41,208 --> 00:41:44,792 And then I thought, that day, what did I not see, 722 00:41:44,869 --> 00:41:49,038 What did I miss, what should I have seen as a professional? 723 00:41:49,049 --> 00:41:50,706 I don't think I missed anything. 724 00:41:50,717 --> 00:41:53,793 I don't think I missed anything about what he said, What he did, how he acted, 726 00:41:53,803 --> 00:41:57,213 That would have given me an indication That he was going to become a betrayer. 728 00:41:57,224 --> 00:41:59,307 And that standpoint, he was a perfect spy. 729 00:42:01,803 --> 00:42:05,813 Bob hanssen escaped the electric chair By confessing all to the fbi. 731 00:42:07,892 --> 00:42:12,153 Though the scale of his deception Was far greater than anyone had imagined. 733 00:42:13,907 --> 00:42:20,161 There are some in the intelligence community Who believe that bob hanssen may have been 735 00:42:20,238 --> 00:42:23,873 The most damaging spy in modern american history. 736 00:42:24,834 --> 00:42:27,585 Hanssen gave up a lot of real secrets. 737 00:42:27,662 --> 00:42:35,001 I mean from an intelligence point of view You can say we were really clobbered by hanssen. 739 00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:38,087 Bob hanssen compromised The entire intelligence community. 741 00:42:38,098 --> 00:42:44,352 He compromised nro, nsa, the three military services, Everything that we're doing 743 00:42:44,429 --> 00:42:47,397 In counterintelligence anywhere, he compromised us. 744 00:42:48,775 --> 00:42:50,608 And that's breath-taking stuff. 745 00:42:52,687 --> 00:42:56,281 Hanssen is serving 15 life sentences. 746 00:42:56,357 --> 00:43:01,536 He's imprisoned at colorado's supermax Alongside the world's deadliest criminals. 748 00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:05,364 But he will never meet them. 749 00:43:05,375 --> 00:43:08,626 He will see out his remaining days in solitary confinement 750 00:43:09,546 --> 00:43:13,881 Where he will be remembered As america's most notorious traitor. 49821
