Manhunt (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Don't Tread on Me - full transcript
Get 'em in!
Get 'em in! Let's go!
- Get 'em in!
- Let's go!
- Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
- Go, go, go!
Turn around and sit down! Turn.
Oh.
Well, now.
Agents...
Jack R. Brennan and...
Earl Lloyd Embry.
Now ain't this
a fine goddamn kettle of fish.
So, tell me, fellas,
what you doing here
in Nantahala?
I think they want
to get disappeared.
I think they're out here
'cause they want
to be friggin' hostages
down in the goddamn hole.
Don't you?
Or maybe they want to be
mounted heads up
on the walls, huh?
- Is that it, assholes?
- Eric Rudolph
- bombed the Olympic Games.
- Shut up!
- You speak when you're spoken to.
- He's planning
another major attack here
in Nantahala,
and you will either be
collateral damage
or the target itself.
Bullshit!
We know from Eric
- himself that he...
- Hey, hey, hey! Everyone out.
Come on. Let's go. Out.
Let's go.
That report
- is evidence that links...
- Did you not hear him?
He said speak
when you're spoken to.
Besides,
I been in ironworks 25 years.
I know steel.
So y'all just shut your mouths
and let me read this.
What in the hell's going on,
man?!
He's sitting down
with them Feds.
Why would he send us out, huh?
I mean, what exactly is he trying
to hide?
No. Eric already told us
he has no explosives.
Yeah, and he also
told everyone he was a pro-life,
pro-family bomber
of empty buildings,
but you can see for yourself.
You know,
there were babies in strollers
there at Olympic Park.
Is that why you came here today?
To show me this?
- Yes. And...
- And to tell me
that Eric Rudolph is a psycho
or something?
You've spent enough time
with him that I'm guessing
you already suspect
what kind of a person he is.
Rudolph has played me,
and he's played you.
He's pitted us
against each other,
created a war between us,
and it's working.
Because he's preying
on our fear.
He's betting
I'll take one look at you...
Your clothes, your accent...
And dismiss you as a dangerous,
stubborn hillbilly.
And he's betting
you'll look at me...
My clothes, the way I talk,
my badge...
- And think...
- Elitist,
self-important,
smug liberal douchebag
who thinks he can swagger
into any small town
and wave some dollars around and
get everybody to suck his dick
and vote for the Clintons.
Uh-huh.
We need to get past that.
We need to rise above that.
Eric Rudolph doesn't believe
he's a soldier of God.
He-he believes
he's a god unto himself.
He will eliminate anyone
who challenges that.
Anyone.
And as long
as we're fighting each other,
we're not fighting him.
We're not stopping him
from executing his bigger plan.
Eric doesn't have a bigger plan.
Look at that receipt.
Right in there.
Does that mean anything to you?
Nope.
It means he has parts
for eight major bombs.
Which it's fair to assume
are live
and planted somewhere
in Nantahala.
Uh...
Hmm.
Someone must've bought this shit
for him.
- Y-Yeah.
- Yeah.
Not my men.
That's what we figure.
'Cause I know you want to do
the right thing here,
just like we do.
You...
invaded my town.
You attacked my wife.
You drove me and my family
out of my home.
And now you want to come here
and talk about, what,
you and me
singing "Kumbaya" together?
Do you think Rudolph
is just gonna stop here?
You thinking he's gonna blow up
a few bombs in Nantahala,
kill a bunch of FBI,
probably a bunch
of the militiamen, too,
and then just stop?
He is just getting started.
And as long as you and I are
at each other's throats,
he can slip right out
of Nantahala and vanish.
Then he's gonna keep on bombing,
and we don't know where.
Could be a gay club,
could be a homecoming parade,
could be an abortion clinic,
could be a Little League game,
a church,
a school.
Could be another cop
with a six-year-old son at home.
Could be another mom
out celebrating
her daughter's 14th birthday.
And that blood will be on us.
You and me.
He's selling us out.
He's in there talking
to the enemy
and he's selling you out and he's
selling me out
and he's selling out
Eric Rudolph.
He's betraying everything
we stand for!
We have rules about this.
You know
we can remove him from command.
Yeah, but it's Big John.
So?
"You shall know the tree
by its fruits."
As far as I see it,
our so-called leader's
behind closed doors
having a secret meeting
with federal agents.
Shit.
Spread the word
among the lieutenants.
Get them ready
for a change in leadership.
Hey!
- Come on, Buck!
- Dale.
- Come here, come here, come here.
- Jason. Eli.
Hey. Good boy.
All right. Let's find this guy.
Where you headed?
Going to warn Eric Rudolph.
Get 'em suited up,
get 'em gunned up.
Let's roll.
Eric!
Are you out there?!
You got to know,
you're being sold out!
Right now,
there's a Judas collecting
his 30 pieces of silver
from the Feds!
Are you there?!
How good you think you are?
You think
you can catch his scent?
All right.
Come on, baby. Go on. Try it.
Find him. Find him.
Find him. Got it?
Got him? All right.
Worth a try.
Buck,
dude, you sure you're not
chasing a possum or something?
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
Shit.
All right.
Let's go.
Badge.
We got a problem.
My men,
they ain't gonna work
with no Feds.
The stuff in this file
don't mean jack shit to anyone
who ain't in this room
right now.
We need to talk,
Big John.
Well, Buck,
I owe you an apology.
- We called a council.
- Oh.
You called a council?
A war council.
Like in our articles.
It's our right, as members.
I see.
And you're the chairman
of this war council,
I take it?
I speak for everyone.
We want the Feds.
We're gonna take custody of 'em
and decide what to do with them,
as a group.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Give us them Feds.
Or what, Charlie?
Or you're deposed
and we'll court-martial you
for goddamn treason!
Take those Feds now.
Who's next?
- Guns up.
- Hey!
- All right.
- Dale,
secure the hostages.
And get 'em down now!
- Down! Down!
- Face down!
- Down now!
- On the ground! - All right.
- Now!
- We're down.
We're down.
John Gray, you are officially
deposed of your command.
Interlace your fingers and place
your hands upon your head. Now.
Charlie, have you lost
your goddamn mind?
Interlace your fingers!
Place them on top
of your goddamn head!
- Now!
- Pot Boy to base.
Pot Boy to base. Guys,
I'm at grid Bravo seven niner.
Send the boss up here now.
There's something
he's really got to see.
How-how did you find this place?
Buck.
- Who's Buck?
- Best nose in Nantahala.
Doctors and lawyers
from the big city offered
the kid $30,000 for that dog.
He told 'em to shove it
where it don't shine.
Hey, come here.
Hey, you stay where you are.
That's a lot of dynamite.
He's been playing us.
Eric Rudolph has been looking
into my face
and lying to me
this whole goddamn time.
I mean,
he's been lying in this cave
with all his dynamite and
all his guns and all his shit,
probably laughing
at us every goddamn night.
What'd they tell you?
They tell you
he bombed the Olympics?
- Yup.
- And you believe them?
Yeah.
My sisters were there.
My little sisters saved
their tip money
to go down to goddamn Atlanta
Olympics on a Greyhound bus.
They were in the damn park.
That goddamn piece of shit!
I mean, he played us
for goddamn fools.
So what's the plan? These Feds
gonna help us find him?
That's the idea.
You're gonna help us find
this asshole?
Yes, we are,
and we're gonna make sure
he rots in prison
for the rest of his life.
Not if I get a shot off first.
Go check out his pin-ups.
Looks like he's got a hard-on
for somebody, huh?
Shit.
- Here.
- Uh, uh...
I gave him that map.
Yeah. That's all our positions.
He said...
Wait a minute.
Let me see that.
Hey. Well, what does this mean
right here?
I don't know,
but it's damn close to the base.
That red writing...
It ain't mine.
We got to move.
We got to move.
Get the scent now. Go on.
Get a nice big whiff.
Good boy.
Halt!
Get your hands up!
Weapons down!
Now!
- Screw that!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Keep 'em down.
Be ready.
Let's go.
Stop! Do not take another step!
We are FBI, and we will take you
down if you do not comply!
Knox. Sorry.
Stand down! Stand down!
Do notstand down!
Stay alert, safeties off!
What the hell is going on, Jack?
Just talk to me.
Look, we found evidence
that Rudolph is working up
in these ridges.
Our base is a quarter
of a mile away.
Eric Rudolph is not here.
We would have found him
months ago.
- Wait.
- You're being used, Jack.
Now, I don't know what happened
or what they've said to you,
but the enemy is using you to get
access to our base,
and I cannot allow that.
No, no, no. Listen to me,
all right? They're helping.
Look at what we found.
If you have doubts after that,
then...
Doubts? You are guiding
a paramilitary leader
under federal indictment,
plus armed militia soldiers,
right into our zone
of confidence.
- They're not the enemy here.
- They are!
They're the goddamn enemy, Jack.
You put me in charge
of base security
while you were absent.
I am obligated
to keep the base secure.
If I feel my commanding officer
is compromised
or is of unsound judgment,
I have the right
to commandeer this mission.
I know you do.
And I know you're trying
to do the right thing.
But listen to me.
The situation has changed.
I'm not backing down my men,
Jack.
And I'm not letting the enemy
one inch closer to the base.
Now, if you have a location
you need verified,
I will verify it.
All right. All right.
Want to look at the map.
- This is your base right here.
- Got it.
Don't let them
one step closer to home plate!
And you,
take your men and back it up.
And if I see one weapon up,
we will take you alldown.
Boy, I hope
she can read his map,
'cause this bunch is about to...
about to go.
Knox to HRT. Stand down.
Repeat... stand down.
Weapons down.
Brennan, sir,
you need to get up here,
quick.
Holy shit.
He's been watching us
the whole time.
You knew about this?
No, I-I just found out
half hour ago.
This is a map
of y'all's base.
There are seven controllers,
not eight,
and he's out there.
Agent, you need to get your
people inside and buttoned up.
Now.
Knox to MovCon. Knox to MovCon.
You need to get every guard
and agent inside the base now.
Clear the whole perimeter.
And we need EOD teams deployed
immediately.
Get Joe Holliwell on point.
He's good. He'll make you safe.
Find ATF Agent Holliwell,
put him in charge.
There are possible live devices.
Repeat.
Multiple live explosive devices
in close proximity to the base.
Turn your radios off.
Bomb. Y'all need
to back it out of here,
up over that ridge.
Keep 'em off till you get there.
Now.
John, I believe
you have a knife.
I need to borrow it.
Thank you.
Keep 'em off
till you get to the other side.
Okay, Earl. Here we are.
Okay.
It's all right. It's all right.
Phew. It's all right.
Oh.
Did not know
I was gonna be here, baby.
Did not know that.
Shit.
Phew.
That's it. On that side.
Oh.
You clever son of a bitch.
Got a re-router, didn't you?
Boom.
Oh!
Goddamn it!
Shit!
This is Embry
up here. The bomb's clear.
- The bomb is clear.
- Bomb's clear. Bomb's clear
Embry.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I think.
He just triggered the remote,
while I was pulling it out.
That means he's close.
What's the range
on those controllers?
Embry, what's the range?
It's about a hundred yards.
Uh...
Oh, Jesus...
Knox, he's
within a hundred yards.
He's close.
FBI, fan out.
Work with these guys.
Regulators, fill in the line.
Move!
Listen to the lady.
Son of a bitch is close.
Let's move!
Come on, Buck, let's move.
You got him? Okay.
Hey, buddy, go get him.
Eric, you shot my dog!
Hey, Buck, you okay?
God, do not do this to me.
Buck? Buck?
Hey. Hey, you okay, buddy?
All right, okay, okay...
Hey, you better run, Eric!
You hear me?
We will not stop!
We own these woods,
and we will not stop
till we hunt you down!
You hear me?!
Could be somewhere in here.
Spread out, men. Check it out.
Those are my goddamn maps.
Shit.
Holy smokes.
So close.
Arrogant bastard.
- All right, get it covered.
- Copy that.
All clear?
All clear. Light it up.
Fire in the hole!
Fire in the hole! Fire in the
hole!
It's safe.
Repeat:
bomb one is rendered safe.
Moving on to second device.
This was the biggest one.
And there was
a directional plate.
I don't have to tell you
which way the blast was focused.
Right at your front door.
How the hell
did he get so close?
'Cause I gave him the map.
Handed him the keys
to the goddamn kingdom.
And he was just...
laughing at me the whole time.
You know...
I used to imagine exactly this.
That the enemy would come in
exactly like this... like an
invasion...
Build a base, oppress a people.
And I would recognize him
right away
for who he was,
and be able to fight him...
with this.
I-I just,
I just thought it would be...
so clear.
Big John.
Go, Variable.
Boss.
You'll want to see this.
Right up here, Big John.
EMBRY and BIG JOHN:
Food cache.
Let's cut one down.
Yep. Food.
There's got to be
a couple hundred pounds of food
in that alone.
So much for starving him out.
Ten miles from the nearest road.
He must've been preparing
for this for years.
Way before he blew up
his first bomb.
And that's just
in this one camp.
How many more
you reckon there could be?
Would you like to do the honors?
Think he's watching?
God, I hope he is.
What do you want, one of them
little umbrellas or something?
You know, moonshine is illegal.
If I find your still, I'll
be obligated to confiscate it
and keep it.
No,
you... you're never gonna find this still,
not with a thousand years
of looking.
So, what happens next?
Well, I'm gonna commit
career suicide
by going on national television.
I'm gonna call
a press conference.
Charge Eric Rudolph with the
Centennial Olympic Park bombing.
Washington
will have my head for it.
But it's the truth,
and people need to know.
You know, I'm gonna be removed
from this operation.
Probably from the FBI.
But...
you know how important it is
that we keep going,
until he's caught.
We won't stop.
We're not hunting him for you.
We're hunting him for us.
Let me ask you a question.
Why'd he do what he did?
You know, I mean, I can get
my mind around blowing up
that nurse and such.
She deserved it.
No offense.
But the Olympics
and then here.
You know, I mean,
all of it, taken together,
why in the hell
would anyone do all that?
For the record,
I don't think
Emily Lyons deserved it.
To your point,
you know St. Augustine?
Went to a Jesuit high school,
and... we read St. Augustine.
He was trying to figure out,
if God is good
and all creation is good,
- then why does evil exist?
- Why does evil exist?
Right.
And what he came to was
evil, in fact, doesn't exist,
the way darkness
doesn't really exist.
It's just the absence of light.
Well,
same with evil.
It's the absence of good.
See,
you take away goodness,
take away humanity,
compassion,
humility,
you take all that away,
the black hole you're left with,
that void of nothingness,
that's evil.
That's Eric.
So, basically,
you're saying
Eric Rudolph is
just a plain old grade-A...
asshole.
Philosopher king right here.
Yeah.
He's just a grade-A asshole.
Amen.
Amen, indeed.
Morning, everybody.
Thank you for convening
last-minute like this.
The Federal Bureau
of Investigation has instructed
the U.S. Attorney's Office
to bring federal charges against
Eric Robert Rudolph for
the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing
on July 27, 1996,
which killed two
and wounded 111 men, women and
children.
This offense,
along with the other bombings
Rudolph has been charged with,
carries a maximum sentence
of life in prison
and/or the death penalty.
I again stress
the FBI presence here in Murphy,
as well as
the Nantahala National Forest,
is solely to bring this killer
to justice.
Thank you.
What about Richard Jewell?
Does the FBI
still consider him to be
a person of interest
in the Olympic Park bomb?
Our attention
is entirely focused
on finding
and capturing Eric Rudolph.
I can't comment
on Richard Jewell,
though I will say
Eric Robert Rudolph
is the only named individual
on this indictment.
There's no indication
that Rudolph had a coconspirator
or a collaborator
in the Olympic Park bombing.
Are you saying the FBI was wrong
to investigate Jewell?
The FBI has a responsibility
to investigate...
The answer to your question...
Yes.
How Richard Jewell
was investigated was wrong.
It was procedurally unsound.
138.
I deeply regret
that his name was leaked.
- 138?
- That's all I have. Thank you.
Oh, that's me. Richard Jewell.
Look...
It's not like
I haven't been trying.
People see your résumé,
see your training...
Okay, the-the guy looks great.
But... then they see your name.
Well, wait a second, now.
I was just exonerated
on national TV.
Surely,
that has to mean something.
I'm not picky.
I'll do anything.
I'll flip burgers.
I'll work demolition.
Just get me in a room
for an interview,
at least.
Nobody wants to interview you.
Look...
Look at it
from their perspective.
You got two résumés.
One is from Joe G. Schmo,
a former security guard you've
never heard of.
And the other's
from Richard Jewell,
who may or may not...
be a terrorist.
That's not how it should be,
but it's reality.
Nobody's gonna hire
Richard Jewell.
Well, you're wrong about that.
I have a lot to offer.
I'm loyal and I'm conscientious
and I take my work seriously
and I believe in serving others.
Now, it might take me
a little while,
but, at some point,
someone is gonna see past
all the BS
and all the lies
and see me for who I am.
And I'm not gonna give up
till I find that person, sir.
Good luck.
Thank you, sir.
I know. I know.
Come to the point
where there was no other option.
Have you gotten the call yet?
Not yet.
But it's coming.
Look, I'll tell Freeh
you had no part in it.
The hammer will fall on me
and me alone.
I hope.
You really believe all that?
What you just said to the press?
Every word.
Sir, I profoundly disagree
with how you've conducted the
latest phase of this manhunt.
And I absolutely cannot
get behind
disobeying
our director's orders.
I think that goes against
everything we've been trained in
and everything we swore to when
we became FBI agents.
I would have made very, very
different choices
in directing this operation.
But what you just did
is one of the most courageous
things I think
I've seen in my years
with the Bureau.
Going up that mountain
and going in front
of those cameras
took tremendous moral courage.
I respect that deeply.
And I hope that I'll be able
to find that in myself
when the situation calls for it.
Thank you, Knox.
I owe you an apology
for what I said out there
in the woods.
You were not compromised or of
unsound judgment.
In fact, nothing
could be further from the truth.
Well...
Well,
since you're taking over, uh,
let me show you something.
Aside from
our active search areas,
tomorrow,
the regulators are gonna look
into these grids here.
We think
he has a few survival caches
stashed in this range here.
So the Bravo and Charlie teams
are gonna try and intercept.
It's working.
It's actually working.
Well, we haven't caught him yet.
And, uh, there's still a ton
of wilderness out there.
But, uh...
yeah.
It's working.
Run, Rudolph, run.
Will you do me a favor?
You tell the director
I'm-I'm not here.
I've gone AWOL and you're trying
to find me or something.
I want to go back out there
one last time
before I have to pack it in.
Well,
let's hunt this bastard down.
Let's go get him!
Spread out!
Get 'em in! Let's go!
- Get 'em in!
- Let's go!
- Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
- Go, go, go!
Turn around and sit down! Turn.
Oh.
Well, now.
Agents...
Jack R. Brennan and...
Earl Lloyd Embry.
Now ain't this
a fine goddamn kettle of fish.
So, tell me, fellas,
what you doing here
in Nantahala?
I think they want
to get disappeared.
I think they're out here
'cause they want
to be friggin' hostages
down in the goddamn hole.
Don't you?
Or maybe they want to be
mounted heads up
on the walls, huh?
- Is that it, assholes?
- Eric Rudolph
- bombed the Olympic Games.
- Shut up!
- You speak when you're spoken to.
- He's planning
another major attack here
in Nantahala,
and you will either be
collateral damage
or the target itself.
Bullshit!
We know from Eric
- himself that he...
- Hey, hey, hey! Everyone out.
Come on. Let's go. Out.
Let's go.
That report
- is evidence that links...
- Did you not hear him?
He said speak
when you're spoken to.
Besides,
I been in ironworks 25 years.
I know steel.
So y'all just shut your mouths
and let me read this.
What in the hell's going on,
man?!
He's sitting down
with them Feds.
Why would he send us out, huh?
I mean, what exactly is he trying
to hide?
No. Eric already told us
he has no explosives.
Yeah, and he also
told everyone he was a pro-life,
pro-family bomber
of empty buildings,
but you can see for yourself.
You know,
there were babies in strollers
there at Olympic Park.
Is that why you came here today?
To show me this?
- Yes. And...
- And to tell me
that Eric Rudolph is a psycho
or something?
You've spent enough time
with him that I'm guessing
you already suspect
what kind of a person he is.
Rudolph has played me,
and he's played you.
He's pitted us
against each other,
created a war between us,
and it's working.
Because he's preying
on our fear.
He's betting
I'll take one look at you...
Your clothes, your accent...
And dismiss you as a dangerous,
stubborn hillbilly.
And he's betting
you'll look at me...
My clothes, the way I talk,
my badge...
- And think...
- Elitist,
self-important,
smug liberal douchebag
who thinks he can swagger
into any small town
and wave some dollars around and
get everybody to suck his dick
and vote for the Clintons.
Uh-huh.
We need to get past that.
We need to rise above that.
Eric Rudolph doesn't believe
he's a soldier of God.
He-he believes
he's a god unto himself.
He will eliminate anyone
who challenges that.
Anyone.
And as long
as we're fighting each other,
we're not fighting him.
We're not stopping him
from executing his bigger plan.
Eric doesn't have a bigger plan.
Look at that receipt.
Right in there.
Does that mean anything to you?
Nope.
It means he has parts
for eight major bombs.
Which it's fair to assume
are live
and planted somewhere
in Nantahala.
Uh...
Hmm.
Someone must've bought this shit
for him.
- Y-Yeah.
- Yeah.
Not my men.
That's what we figure.
'Cause I know you want to do
the right thing here,
just like we do.
You...
invaded my town.
You attacked my wife.
You drove me and my family
out of my home.
And now you want to come here
and talk about, what,
you and me
singing "Kumbaya" together?
Do you think Rudolph
is just gonna stop here?
You thinking he's gonna blow up
a few bombs in Nantahala,
kill a bunch of FBI,
probably a bunch
of the militiamen, too,
and then just stop?
He is just getting started.
And as long as you and I are
at each other's throats,
he can slip right out
of Nantahala and vanish.
Then he's gonna keep on bombing,
and we don't know where.
Could be a gay club,
could be a homecoming parade,
could be an abortion clinic,
could be a Little League game,
a church,
a school.
Could be another cop
with a six-year-old son at home.
Could be another mom
out celebrating
her daughter's 14th birthday.
And that blood will be on us.
You and me.
He's selling us out.
He's in there talking
to the enemy
and he's selling you out and he's
selling me out
and he's selling out
Eric Rudolph.
He's betraying everything
we stand for!
We have rules about this.
You know
we can remove him from command.
Yeah, but it's Big John.
So?
"You shall know the tree
by its fruits."
As far as I see it,
our so-called leader's
behind closed doors
having a secret meeting
with federal agents.
Shit.
Spread the word
among the lieutenants.
Get them ready
for a change in leadership.
Hey!
- Come on, Buck!
- Dale.
- Come here, come here, come here.
- Jason. Eli.
Hey. Good boy.
All right. Let's find this guy.
Where you headed?
Going to warn Eric Rudolph.
Get 'em suited up,
get 'em gunned up.
Let's roll.
Eric!
Are you out there?!
You got to know,
you're being sold out!
Right now,
there's a Judas collecting
his 30 pieces of silver
from the Feds!
Are you there?!
How good you think you are?
You think
you can catch his scent?
All right.
Come on, baby. Go on. Try it.
Find him. Find him.
Find him. Got it?
Got him? All right.
Worth a try.
Buck,
dude, you sure you're not
chasing a possum or something?
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
Shit.
All right.
Let's go.
Badge.
We got a problem.
My men,
they ain't gonna work
with no Feds.
The stuff in this file
don't mean jack shit to anyone
who ain't in this room
right now.
We need to talk,
Big John.
Well, Buck,
I owe you an apology.
- We called a council.
- Oh.
You called a council?
A war council.
Like in our articles.
It's our right, as members.
I see.
And you're the chairman
of this war council,
I take it?
I speak for everyone.
We want the Feds.
We're gonna take custody of 'em
and decide what to do with them,
as a group.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Give us them Feds.
Or what, Charlie?
Or you're deposed
and we'll court-martial you
for goddamn treason!
Take those Feds now.
Who's next?
- Guns up.
- Hey!
- All right.
- Dale,
secure the hostages.
And get 'em down now!
- Down! Down!
- Face down!
- Down now!
- On the ground! - All right.
- Now!
- We're down.
We're down.
John Gray, you are officially
deposed of your command.
Interlace your fingers and place
your hands upon your head. Now.
Charlie, have you lost
your goddamn mind?
Interlace your fingers!
Place them on top
of your goddamn head!
- Now!
- Pot Boy to base.
Pot Boy to base. Guys,
I'm at grid Bravo seven niner.
Send the boss up here now.
There's something
he's really got to see.
How-how did you find this place?
Buck.
- Who's Buck?
- Best nose in Nantahala.
Doctors and lawyers
from the big city offered
the kid $30,000 for that dog.
He told 'em to shove it
where it don't shine.
Hey, come here.
Hey, you stay where you are.
That's a lot of dynamite.
He's been playing us.
Eric Rudolph has been looking
into my face
and lying to me
this whole goddamn time.
I mean,
he's been lying in this cave
with all his dynamite and
all his guns and all his shit,
probably laughing
at us every goddamn night.
What'd they tell you?
They tell you
he bombed the Olympics?
- Yup.
- And you believe them?
Yeah.
My sisters were there.
My little sisters saved
their tip money
to go down to goddamn Atlanta
Olympics on a Greyhound bus.
They were in the damn park.
That goddamn piece of shit!
I mean, he played us
for goddamn fools.
So what's the plan? These Feds
gonna help us find him?
That's the idea.
You're gonna help us find
this asshole?
Yes, we are,
and we're gonna make sure
he rots in prison
for the rest of his life.
Not if I get a shot off first.
Go check out his pin-ups.
Looks like he's got a hard-on
for somebody, huh?
Shit.
- Here.
- Uh, uh...
I gave him that map.
Yeah. That's all our positions.
He said...
Wait a minute.
Let me see that.
Hey. Well, what does this mean
right here?
I don't know,
but it's damn close to the base.
That red writing...
It ain't mine.
We got to move.
We got to move.
Get the scent now. Go on.
Get a nice big whiff.
Good boy.
Halt!
Get your hands up!
Weapons down!
Now!
- Screw that!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Keep 'em down.
Be ready.
Let's go.
Stop! Do not take another step!
We are FBI, and we will take you
down if you do not comply!
Knox. Sorry.
Stand down! Stand down!
Do notstand down!
Stay alert, safeties off!
What the hell is going on, Jack?
Just talk to me.
Look, we found evidence
that Rudolph is working up
in these ridges.
Our base is a quarter
of a mile away.
Eric Rudolph is not here.
We would have found him
months ago.
- Wait.
- You're being used, Jack.
Now, I don't know what happened
or what they've said to you,
but the enemy is using you to get
access to our base,
and I cannot allow that.
No, no, no. Listen to me,
all right? They're helping.
Look at what we found.
If you have doubts after that,
then...
Doubts? You are guiding
a paramilitary leader
under federal indictment,
plus armed militia soldiers,
right into our zone
of confidence.
- They're not the enemy here.
- They are!
They're the goddamn enemy, Jack.
You put me in charge
of base security
while you were absent.
I am obligated
to keep the base secure.
If I feel my commanding officer
is compromised
or is of unsound judgment,
I have the right
to commandeer this mission.
I know you do.
And I know you're trying
to do the right thing.
But listen to me.
The situation has changed.
I'm not backing down my men,
Jack.
And I'm not letting the enemy
one inch closer to the base.
Now, if you have a location
you need verified,
I will verify it.
All right. All right.
Want to look at the map.
- This is your base right here.
- Got it.
Don't let them
one step closer to home plate!
And you,
take your men and back it up.
And if I see one weapon up,
we will take you alldown.
Boy, I hope
she can read his map,
'cause this bunch is about to...
about to go.
Knox to HRT. Stand down.
Repeat... stand down.
Weapons down.
Brennan, sir,
you need to get up here,
quick.
Holy shit.
He's been watching us
the whole time.
You knew about this?
No, I-I just found out
half hour ago.
This is a map
of y'all's base.
There are seven controllers,
not eight,
and he's out there.
Agent, you need to get your
people inside and buttoned up.
Now.
Knox to MovCon. Knox to MovCon.
You need to get every guard
and agent inside the base now.
Clear the whole perimeter.
And we need EOD teams deployed
immediately.
Get Joe Holliwell on point.
He's good. He'll make you safe.
Find ATF Agent Holliwell,
put him in charge.
There are possible live devices.
Repeat.
Multiple live explosive devices
in close proximity to the base.
Turn your radios off.
Bomb. Y'all need
to back it out of here,
up over that ridge.
Keep 'em off till you get there.
Now.
John, I believe
you have a knife.
I need to borrow it.
Thank you.
Keep 'em off
till you get to the other side.
Okay, Earl. Here we are.
Okay.
It's all right. It's all right.
Phew. It's all right.
Oh.
Did not know
I was gonna be here, baby.
Did not know that.
Shit.
Phew.
That's it. On that side.
Oh.
You clever son of a bitch.
Got a re-router, didn't you?
Boom.
Oh!
Goddamn it!
Shit!
This is Embry
up here. The bomb's clear.
- The bomb is clear.
- Bomb's clear. Bomb's clear
Embry.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I think.
He just triggered the remote,
while I was pulling it out.
That means he's close.
What's the range
on those controllers?
Embry, what's the range?
It's about a hundred yards.
Uh...
Oh, Jesus...
Knox, he's
within a hundred yards.
He's close.
FBI, fan out.
Work with these guys.
Regulators, fill in the line.
Move!
Listen to the lady.
Son of a bitch is close.
Let's move!
Come on, Buck, let's move.
You got him? Okay.
Hey, buddy, go get him.
Eric, you shot my dog!
Hey, Buck, you okay?
God, do not do this to me.
Buck? Buck?
Hey. Hey, you okay, buddy?
All right, okay, okay...
Hey, you better run, Eric!
You hear me?
We will not stop!
We own these woods,
and we will not stop
till we hunt you down!
You hear me?!
Could be somewhere in here.
Spread out, men. Check it out.
Those are my goddamn maps.
Shit.
Holy smokes.
So close.
Arrogant bastard.
- All right, get it covered.
- Copy that.
All clear?
All clear. Light it up.
Fire in the hole!
Fire in the hole! Fire in the
hole!
It's safe.
Repeat:
bomb one is rendered safe.
Moving on to second device.
This was the biggest one.
And there was
a directional plate.
I don't have to tell you
which way the blast was focused.
Right at your front door.
How the hell
did he get so close?
'Cause I gave him the map.
Handed him the keys
to the goddamn kingdom.
And he was just...
laughing at me the whole time.
You know...
I used to imagine exactly this.
That the enemy would come in
exactly like this... like an
invasion...
Build a base, oppress a people.
And I would recognize him
right away
for who he was,
and be able to fight him...
with this.
I-I just,
I just thought it would be...
so clear.
Big John.
Go, Variable.
Boss.
You'll want to see this.
Right up here, Big John.
EMBRY and BIG JOHN:
Food cache.
Let's cut one down.
Yep. Food.
There's got to be
a couple hundred pounds of food
in that alone.
So much for starving him out.
Ten miles from the nearest road.
He must've been preparing
for this for years.
Way before he blew up
his first bomb.
And that's just
in this one camp.
How many more
you reckon there could be?
Would you like to do the honors?
Think he's watching?
God, I hope he is.
What do you want, one of them
little umbrellas or something?
You know, moonshine is illegal.
If I find your still, I'll
be obligated to confiscate it
and keep it.
No,
you... you're never gonna find this still,
not with a thousand years
of looking.
So, what happens next?
Well, I'm gonna commit
career suicide
by going on national television.
I'm gonna call
a press conference.
Charge Eric Rudolph with the
Centennial Olympic Park bombing.
Washington
will have my head for it.
But it's the truth,
and people need to know.
You know, I'm gonna be removed
from this operation.
Probably from the FBI.
But...
you know how important it is
that we keep going,
until he's caught.
We won't stop.
We're not hunting him for you.
We're hunting him for us.
Let me ask you a question.
Why'd he do what he did?
You know, I mean, I can get
my mind around blowing up
that nurse and such.
She deserved it.
No offense.
But the Olympics
and then here.
You know, I mean,
all of it, taken together,
why in the hell
would anyone do all that?
For the record,
I don't think
Emily Lyons deserved it.
To your point,
you know St. Augustine?
Went to a Jesuit high school,
and... we read St. Augustine.
He was trying to figure out,
if God is good
and all creation is good,
- then why does evil exist?
- Why does evil exist?
Right.
And what he came to was
evil, in fact, doesn't exist,
the way darkness
doesn't really exist.
It's just the absence of light.
Well,
same with evil.
It's the absence of good.
See,
you take away goodness,
take away humanity,
compassion,
humility,
you take all that away,
the black hole you're left with,
that void of nothingness,
that's evil.
That's Eric.
So, basically,
you're saying
Eric Rudolph is
just a plain old grade-A...
asshole.
Philosopher king right here.
Yeah.
He's just a grade-A asshole.
Amen.
Amen, indeed.
Morning, everybody.
Thank you for convening
last-minute like this.
The Federal Bureau
of Investigation has instructed
the U.S. Attorney's Office
to bring federal charges against
Eric Robert Rudolph for
the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing
on July 27, 1996,
which killed two
and wounded 111 men, women and
children.
This offense,
along with the other bombings
Rudolph has been charged with,
carries a maximum sentence
of life in prison
and/or the death penalty.
I again stress
the FBI presence here in Murphy,
as well as
the Nantahala National Forest,
is solely to bring this killer
to justice.
Thank you.
What about Richard Jewell?
Does the FBI
still consider him to be
a person of interest
in the Olympic Park bomb?
Our attention
is entirely focused
on finding
and capturing Eric Rudolph.
I can't comment
on Richard Jewell,
though I will say
Eric Robert Rudolph
is the only named individual
on this indictment.
There's no indication
that Rudolph had a coconspirator
or a collaborator
in the Olympic Park bombing.
Are you saying the FBI was wrong
to investigate Jewell?
The FBI has a responsibility
to investigate...
The answer to your question...
Yes.
How Richard Jewell
was investigated was wrong.
It was procedurally unsound.
138.
I deeply regret
that his name was leaked.
- 138?
- That's all I have. Thank you.
Oh, that's me. Richard Jewell.
Look...
It's not like
I haven't been trying.
People see your résumé,
see your training...
Okay, the-the guy looks great.
But... then they see your name.
Well, wait a second, now.
I was just exonerated
on national TV.
Surely,
that has to mean something.
I'm not picky.
I'll do anything.
I'll flip burgers.
I'll work demolition.
Just get me in a room
for an interview,
at least.
Nobody wants to interview you.
Look...
Look at it
from their perspective.
You got two résumés.
One is from Joe G. Schmo,
a former security guard you've
never heard of.
And the other's
from Richard Jewell,
who may or may not...
be a terrorist.
That's not how it should be,
but it's reality.
Nobody's gonna hire
Richard Jewell.
Well, you're wrong about that.
I have a lot to offer.
I'm loyal and I'm conscientious
and I take my work seriously
and I believe in serving others.
Now, it might take me
a little while,
but, at some point,
someone is gonna see past
all the BS
and all the lies
and see me for who I am.
And I'm not gonna give up
till I find that person, sir.
Good luck.
Thank you, sir.
I know. I know.
Come to the point
where there was no other option.
Have you gotten the call yet?
Not yet.
But it's coming.
Look, I'll tell Freeh
you had no part in it.
The hammer will fall on me
and me alone.
I hope.
You really believe all that?
What you just said to the press?
Every word.
Sir, I profoundly disagree
with how you've conducted the
latest phase of this manhunt.
And I absolutely cannot
get behind
disobeying
our director's orders.
I think that goes against
everything we've been trained in
and everything we swore to when
we became FBI agents.
I would have made very, very
different choices
in directing this operation.
But what you just did
is one of the most courageous
things I think
I've seen in my years
with the Bureau.
Going up that mountain
and going in front
of those cameras
took tremendous moral courage.
I respect that deeply.
And I hope that I'll be able
to find that in myself
when the situation calls for it.
Thank you, Knox.
I owe you an apology
for what I said out there
in the woods.
You were not compromised or of
unsound judgment.
In fact, nothing
could be further from the truth.
Well...
Well,
since you're taking over, uh,
let me show you something.
Aside from
our active search areas,
tomorrow,
the regulators are gonna look
into these grids here.
We think
he has a few survival caches
stashed in this range here.
So the Bravo and Charlie teams
are gonna try and intercept.
It's working.
It's actually working.
Well, we haven't caught him yet.
And, uh, there's still a ton
of wilderness out there.
But, uh...
yeah.
It's working.
Run, Rudolph, run.
Will you do me a favor?
You tell the director
I'm-I'm not here.
I've gone AWOL and you're trying
to find me or something.
I want to go back out there
one last time
before I have to pack it in.
Well,
let's hunt this bastard down.
Let's go get him!
Spread out!
