All language subtitles for The Hot Zone S02E06

Previously on
The Hot Zone: Anthrax.

Director Mueller just assigned
us a major case number.

Investigation"s officially
been dubbed Amerithrax.

Whoever sent these
letters got their Anthrax

from an American lab.

We wouldn"t be here if we
didn"t have evidence

leading us back to USAMRIID.

Bruce Ivins
is our top anthrax man.

Then I wanna talk to him.

They"re treating us like we"re the enemy.
We"re the heroes.

The way in has to be
through his hero"s complex.

I know most Americans
aren"t paying attention,

but you guys had signs
that 9/11 was gonna happen.

And now you can"t figure
out who sent these letters.

So instead you are harassing
hard working patriots like me.

Bruce, are you considering
doing bodily harm to someone?

Did you this, Dr. Ivins?

I had obsessive
behaviors linked to sororities

specifically Kappa Kappa Gamma.

In the fall of
2001, did you mail letters

containing Anthrax?

- No.
- Looks like he"s not your guy.

Our top suspect is Hatfill.

He just happened to be on the
ground in Rhodesia

during the most deadly Anthrax
outbreak in recent history.

Ryker, I"m putting
you on Sykes" team.

FBI agents searched the
home of Steven Hatfill.

Hatfill has a map.

Looks like it leads to
a remote location in the woods.

Still think
we got the wrong guy?

Hello, papa. What are you doing?

The map we found at Hatfill"s
spans acres of the place.

But this dog had a
real boner for that pond.

Well, I"ll give you this,

secluded area, good
place to toss evidence.

But you still don"t
believe me, do you?

Come on, the guy wrote a book about
a biological attack on Washington.

This is our guy, Ryker.

I don"t know.

He"s got a couple of
things stacked against him.

Then again, maybe
he"s like any of us,

made a few questionable
judgment calls in life and

we"re just following the
plot of his fictional book.

Agent Ryker, USRT
diver found something.

Ryker, you ever
seen anything like it?

No.

But those holes are large
enough for hands to slide in.

With gloves and cuff
rings affixed to it,

it could be airtight.

A makeshift biosafety box.

Make sure that
goes into a bio-case.

If there are any
spores left in there,

I wanna make sure they don"t
get shaken off during a bumpy

ride to the lab.

Yes, sir. Copy that,
we"ll take care of it.

Watch your back.

Right, K-6 we"re going to K-6.

Hate to say I told you so.

Well, we"ll get
to test it right away.

We"ll know soon enough.

"Did you get pulled
onto Sykes" team too?

Seemed to avoid the Seventh
Circle of Hell for one more day.

I thought you
were following Ivins.

I am.

What the hell is he doing here?

It can"t be a coincidence.

We got a non-secure
person at the volunteer tent.

Brown coat, black hat.

Remove him immediately.

Roger that.

Refill for a coffee?

Sir, this is a restricted area,

you can"t be here.

No, no, no, I"m

Sir, you have to be on
the list now please.

I"m supposed to be here.
I"m on the list.

This way.

No, no, this is a mistake.

This, uh, I don"t understand.

I got the, I got the
high clearance alert.

That means I work
for the government,

I work for the army.

So they really
should have me here,

because I"m an expert.

I"m highly qualified to be here.

Why are they?

What are you filming?

This is a mistake. I"m...

Sir, I need to
get you in the car.

Sir, in the car now.

Okay.

So you were there?

I can"t disclose any details,

but they brought me in to
help because of my expertise.

It was all over the news today.

Uh, did you see anything?

Did they have any new evidence?

I can"t disclose that.

I didn"t get the level of clearance
I have by being a blabbermouth.

Sounds like you were
really essential, Bruce.

Did you feel needed?

You know, Dr. Halstrom,
I"ve come to realize in my

life that there are
two types of people.

There are people whose job it
is to sit in a chair all day

and ask questions, and then
there are a skilled few of us

who find answers to them.

One is clearly more
needed than the other.

♪ ♪

Good to go.

Thank you. I appreciate
it, my friend, see you soon.

Right in here, please.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

All right, stop there.

Okay. Do it again
with the other one.

Yeah.

Wear the glove.

Yeah. Uh-hmm.

Yeah. Whatever you want.

A pen or...?

Use the marker.

Keep going.

You see what Sykes is doing?

He"s making Hatfill
give writing samples.

Seems routine to me.

With an oven mitt on?

It"s not the most accurate,

but it can disguise lettering.

Well, we should have that
analysis done by the end of day.

What?

We just got this back
from USAMRIID, sir.

That box from the pond,
no Anthrax spores,

and for good reason.

That"s a turtle trap.

I also tracked down
Hatfill"s medical records.

The reason he was on Cipro
during the attack letters,

he just had surgery
for a deviated septum.

And your star witness in the
case, Tinkerbell and her cohorts,

they just got an innocent man
thrown in jail in California.

Courts threw out
all their evidence.

You are aware that
Rumsfeld just marched out

in front of America based
on our information and

pegged Hatfill as the guy.

So you think the
person who did this was.

- Ivins.
- Ivins.

Does the science
back you up on any of this?

Yes.

We finally developed the
test that will distinguish one

spore of Ames
strain from another.

"And Ivins" samples came back
a match to the attack letters?

Oh, no, but an expert
of his caliber should have

more than just the four
samples he submitted.

Look, if I can get the code
to the fridge in his labs,

I am sure that we will find a
stash that he hasn"t told us about.

I can"t get a
warrant based on what you got.

Not without a motive.

You got a motive?

I have one of Bruce"s friends
who is willing to wear a wire.

They fired me.

Do you think it"s related?

Of course it"s related.

The DOJ just happens
to yank the grant?

You have got to be kidding.

What"s happened?

They"re making my life hell.

Choppers over my
place every morning,

it"s hounding my family.

They can"t get away with this.

Look, I"ve gotta call you back.

License and registration.

How long have
you been following me?

Excuse me?

A little aggressive,
are we today?

This is the
second ticket this week.

Well, sir, you
were driving a little erratic.

Have you had
anything to drink today?

When am I gonna stop
for a beer when you guys tail

me every second of the day?

You know, it sounds
you"ve got something weighing

on your shoulders there, sir.

A man"s conscience can
be a hell of a thing.

Have a nice day.

A year ago, Dr.
Hatfill was working with the

Pentagon contractor when he
lost his security clearance.

According to several
newspaper accounts,

one reason was that he failed
a polygraph test regarding

that long-ago
service in Rhodesia.

Another note of interest here.

The return address on those
Anthrax letters sent to both

senators Daschle and Leahy was,

as you recall, fictitious.

Greendale School.

There is no Greendale
School in New Jersey,

but there is a wealthy suburb,
a present day Harare Zimbabwe,

one Salisbury Rhodesia
that is called Greendale.

Yeah, fine.

Okay. You can button up.

- Uh-hmm.
- Okay.

Okay.
There"s no need to be nervous.

This is really
just to rule him out.

Do you realize it would
be almost impossible to make a

batch of Anthrax
without anybody noticing?

I"m only doing this to
convince you he"s innocent.

You know, he"s peculiar,
but I really don"t think

he"s capable of
something like this.

He wants to impress you.

So you just start
with the usual.

You ask him about work,
about stress, projects.

If his ego kicks in,
he might slip up and divulge a

reason he could"ve done this.

Eyes on target.

He"s early.

Yeah.

You just remember we"re here.

If you ever feel
threatened, you say,

"I need to use the restroom."

Yeah. Really busy, I guess.

Uh-huh.

Why did you wanna meet me, Jody?

It"s not so odd, is it?

Friends grabbing a coffee?

It"s just when you called.

Uh-huh.

I was thinking,
"This is too good to be true."

Good things don"t happen

Well, maybe they should.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

It"s weird, you know, all I

You can see him throw.

How could your stupid aim

Well, I can"t tell you

I can"t do this.

This is everything of
interest we got from his trash.

Bruce has been
drinking a lot more.

It seems that he"s mixing
it with his medication,

like diazepam.

- Valium?
- Uh-hmm.

That"s a
substantial dosage, too.

Uh-hmm.

That could be why
he passed the polygraph.

This many milligrams could
mute a body stress response.

Check that out.

The Linguistics of DNA?

Yeah. So we never did really get
any traction on the bold writing

in the letters since some
were incinerated but I, uh...

You think this could
be the source of the codex?

I"ve got a
cryptologist making headway.

They think the bold
letters could be spelling out

co-workers names.

Got anything more
solid than just could be?

Yeah, actually.

I was, uh, scrolling through one of
the KKG Magazines that Bruce had.

Guess where they"ve
got an office.

Is that Nassau Street?

Yeah, it"s literally
right behind the mailbox

that tested positive.

That"s not a coincidence, right?

Stalk sorority girls,
mail anthrax letters,

why make two trips?

I don"t get this guy.

He knows we"re watching him
and yet he dumps telltale

evidence in the trash.

He shows up at the pond and
draws attention to himself.

This is from
his hometown in Ohio.

Have research pull up
the Gazette for that date.

Find out what was so important
that it crossed state lines

and then got clipped out.

I know you"d ask for that.

Here.

It"s a hometown-boy-does-good
article about Bruce getting

the top DOJ civilian honor.

"All I wanna do is help people."

He said that to Jody
when they were in the cafe.

- Hey, Sheila.
- Hi.

I need a favor.
It shouldn"t take too long.

So our subject Bruce Ivins was really
proud of his work with anthrax vaccines.

In fact, he got a medal for
his contributions but what

I really can"t tell is how much
of a stake he had in them.

Contracts like these aren"t
really my arena but you see

them all the time.

His name is on the patent.

What kind of a payday
are we talking about here?

Could I get
the guy a nice vacation?

Yeah.

But to retire and put
his kids through college?

No.

So if it"s not about the money,

this is about how Ivins
sees himself as a hero,

as a patriot.

You know, in his mind, he"s
saving tens of thousands of

lives by making people
beg to be vaccinated.

What better way to kickstart
demand and put pressure on

the FDA than throwing a
country into a panic and

making us feel like we need it?

I mean, not just
the military but average moms

checking the mail, everyone"s
favorite news anchors.

And I"m not surprised that
you"re the one that found him.

I"m just doing my job.

You still don"t
give yourself enough credit.

Um, sorry.

But you caught me on my way out.

I screwed this up, didn"t I?

It was really nice
to see you again, Matthew.

Sure.
Thanks for taking the time.

how lucky to be so delusional.

The poster child of
fortuitous living.

Fortuitous?

You know, I was in a car on that
stretch of Washington Boulevard,

right by the Pentagon when
Flight 77 came over.

- You saw it happen?
- Uh-hmm.

- All that devastation?
- You would think.

But right around the crash site,

the grass was perfect.

No one was running out of
the building screaming.

The impact was so intense that
the plane exploded inward and

practically disintegrated,
taking the building and all the,

all those people with it.

It felt, uh...

it was pure terror.

But, uh, all the debris,
and all the fallout,

was forced inside.

Buried.

I take it I"m
the imploding building?

Well, you"re never
gonna see what"s inside.

I"ve been trying my whole life.

- He wrote this?
- Uh-hmm.

- It"s promising.
- Promising?

The guy"s been lying about how
many variants of Ames he had.

Including one that matches
the attack letters exactly.

RMR-1029.

Got it.

Albeit slim there"s
always a chance that someone

infiltrated the lab
and stole Ivins"s stash.

Do you really think
that someone just tiptoed in

off the street, suited up, got
themselves past security at an

army base and then found
themselves at a bio safety suite?

Look, for this to
hold water with a grand jury,

there can be no other person
who could have touched it.

It"s next to
impossible to prove.

Everyone at USAMRIID
who could have gained access

to this fridge was vetted.

Rita, it took me a
while to see Agent Ryker was

on the right track, too.

This guy, Ivins, is guilty.

Ivins originally submitted the
vial of anthrax on the right,

but he sent it
in the wrong slant and so it

should have been discarded,
and then he resubmitted.

There"s a second
submission on the left?

Yes, it tested negative,

but it turns out the lab
kept that first sample,

had it all this time.

We tested it and it was an exact
match to the attack letters.

Just like the mother
batch we found in his fridge.

You"re saying Ivins switched
the spores the second time?

We think he realized he
could become a suspect and

he started covering his tracks.

He also tried to
blame that original submission

on his assistant, but you can
see by the handwriting on both

those slants it"s
the same person.

It is Bruce Ivins.

And that"s
clear intent to deceive.

We need an arrest warrant.

Bureau needs to put
this thing to bed.

This should get us one.

By tomorrow.

Agent Toretti, nice work.

Huh. You got your guy.
Congratulations.

I"ve been, I"ve been,
I"ve been drinking quite a lot

with substances.

Yeah.

but I miss my family.

Shoot, I just wanna

This is Dr. Halstrom speaking.

Listen to you, so perky.

Bruce?

I"ve been sitting
here thinking and I realized,

all those notes
you"ve been taking,

You showed

No, I haven"t, Bruce.

I was concerned for your
safety and those around you.

Those who betray us will pay for
their injustices dearly, my dear.

Bruce,

Never dally, my mother said.

She taught me that
being prompt is a virtue.

I"ll see you soon, Dr. Halstrom.

shows up there.

And alert the MPs
over at USAMRIID.

Okay.

You think he might
be going after Jody?

He could go after anyone.

He knows we"re coming for him.

Bruce, I "m hurt, I"m concerned.

You tell me you love me but...

Over your actions the
last few weeks...

Jumpy and agitated...

Can you honestly say you"re
following the plan you developed?

Can you honestly say you"re
following the plan you developed?

I have never
encountered a mind like his.

I truly cannot get a handle on
what his real intentions were.

We had no idea he was
on so many anti-psychotics.

Mental
illness ran in his family.

What exactly
were you treating him for?

Paranoia, anxiety,
potential schizophrenia,

episodes of memory loss.

He"d been blacking out?

Sometimes he"d
have lost hours at a time,

regain cognition
with car keys in hand,

see he"d driven hundreds
of miles on his odometer.

That"s enough time to
make it to Princeton and back.

Maybe not even know it.

The man struggles deeply.

But you always try to see the
version of the person you can

connect with, offer the most to.

So Moore says
he"s not at USAMRIID,

Reilly is with Jody, the
cops just got to his home,

there are lights on.

He went home? Good.

Doctor, do you think Bruce
poses any danger to himself?

Why do we have to
leave the dance so early?

No one else will
be here for hours.

Mother insisted.

If I would have known
that we"d miss all of prom.

I"m sorry.

I really wanted to stay.

I just need to powder my nose.

Dear.

I just wanted one normal
day of high school, mother.

Honestly, Bruce,
a girl like that.

She"s really nice.

Oh, that is what
she wants you to believe.

Mother, not everyone
is as bad as you think.

Do you see her
over there, Bruce?

She"s making fun
of you right now.

Why did you have to ruin this?

You listen to me.

I am the only one in this world
who will protect you, okay?

Okay.

Darling, you need to
learn to accept that people

may only ever see a
very tiny piece of you

and never understand all the
good that you"ve done for them,

even when you try to
protect those that are weak.

People like your father,
they won"t appreciate you.

But we are still there for them,

helping them anyway
because that is who we are.

My beautiful boy.

He"s not picking up.

It"s happening again.

What are you talking about?

If we don"t get an arrest,

there"s no one to
hold accountable.

There"s no justice
for the victims.

It"s just like the Pentagon.

You stopped him.

Whatever happens, nobody
is gonna get hurt again.

Damn it.

Good evening.

Among tonight"s top stories, a deadly
suicide bomber strikes in Iraq,

and the Securities
and Exchange Commission

suspends short selling of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

President
Bush tried today to reassure

the country about the economy.

He said it is
growing if slowly...

Everyone knows...

It"s a tough sell after
that economic...

But does anyone really know
how to turn things around?
