"I'll be right back for the pint of stout, okay?" "Ready to order?" "Sir?" "Do you know if your party's going to show?" "'Cause at night we like to reserve these booths for four people or more." "Emergency operator." "May I have your name." "We're headed into overtime." "Rockets and Sonics tied at 80." "Calls it one of the best new shows of the season." "Sundays after football." "This feed is live from the Embassy Row District in the nation's capital." "At about 10 minutes after midnight, an explosion ripped through the Queen's Arms... a popular pub frequented by British diplomats." "Witnesses reported seeing a fireball that literally blew out... the front of the pub, sending lethal projectiles... shards of glass and splintered wood flying blocks away." "Authorities in the DC area responded quickly to the tragedy." "The first emergency vehicle arrived at the scene less than two minutes after the explosion." "The number of victims have taxed the resources of the nearest emergency rooms." "They haven't called you." "They will." "Some have been helicoptered as far as 15 miles away." "Authorities have yet to determine a cause" "Of course, when an event like this occurs in the nation's capital..." "The possibility of a terrorist attack cannot be dismissed." "The number of casualties has now been confirmed to 13 dead, 20 in critical condition." "The F.B.I. and the A.T.F. have been notified" " How long will you be away?" " Till we're certain it won't happen again." "Police and rescue volunteers are working feverishly to save..." " any victims still trapped in the rubble." " Can we get a medic?" "I read the reports on the plane." "Anything new?" "Conclusive evidence through vapor trace analysis that it was a bomb." "R.D.X. resin, probably Semtex." "Other than that, nothing." " What agencies are involved?" " Name it." "The Bureau, A.T.F., D.C. Metro." "No egos, people just want to get it done." "Jack Pierson's heading the task force." "At 12.20 AM., the Washington Post... received the first call claiming responsibility." "It was made from a pay phone at 28th and Lincoln, West District." "Forensics is examining the booth for prints." "Take heed, Agents of Zog." "Tonight's hellfire is only the beginning." "Our capital's been designated a kill zone... as prophesied in The Turner Diaries." "The covenant of Zog will be overthrown." "True Americans have renounced this bastard son of freedom and justice." "Repent." "Abolish the I.R.S. The people will prevail." "We're in the process of going through the N.S.T.L. Agent Mills." "No intelligence reports of increased militia activity." "An English pub is an unlikely target." "This next call is scarier." "Received 23 minutes after the incident." "Tonight at 10 after midnight, the A.N.O. claims 13 lives... as payment for the continuing oppression of our people." "withdraw your support for the Zionists." "A.N.O., Abu Nidal Organization." "Maybe the Fatah Revolutionary Council feels left out of the peace talks." "There's a time discrepancy." "For the media, we established the time of the blast at 10 minutes after midnight." "In actuality, detonation was dead-on at 12." "This next call, received 10 minutes prior." "It's a code, similar to I.R.A. bomb alerts used in England." "Those tones correspond to the numbers 55-2-2-6-6-6."" "The Queen's Arms is a hangout for British Embassy employees." "The State Department's given us a background on the victims." "Let's try and go around back." "That's the seat of the explosion." "If you'd been sitting in that booth at the moment of detonation... your flesh would have been..." "Kleenex." " Agent Pierson." " Yeah." "Found this approximately 200 feet down the street." " Part of the detonator." " Whoever built it didn't take any chances." " Chances?" " See these wires?" "Three too many." "A built-in redundancy so if the first system failed, there'd be two backups." "May I?" "Briefcase." "Probably placed beneath the booth." "Egyptian make." "The bomb was a professional." "The placement was not." "A waitress could've found it." "A customer kicking it would have discovered it." "I'll check it out, cover our bases." " Agent Pierson?" " Yeah?" "Nightline is covering the bombing tonight." "Koppel wants a representative to explain the psychology of someone... who could shred 13 complete strangers." " Frank." " I have a job." "I.R.A. British brand." "British pub." "He was in it." "He?" "You feel we're not dealing with foreign coconspirators?" "Political terrorists would be far from the scene." "He was here." "Watching." "Oh." "He was here all right." "My own preference is to imagine girls who wouldn't date me." "He was excited." "Anticipating what was about to happen." "And at midnight last night, he got his release." "Emergency operator." "may I have your name." "All right, it's five after 1:00, time for the noon meeting." "Let's hear it." "A partial serial on what we believe is the receiver casing." "Checking manufacturers to determine location of purchase." " Briefcase?" " Egyptian make." "However, this particular latch is used on three different brands and 10 models." "So there's thousands of'em out there, but we're checking local stores for recent sales." "This is the list of the morning canvass." "Updates on the hour." " Hmm." "Caller's prints?" " Full index." "Partial thumb from the phone booth." "Running it through N.C.I.C., CPIC..." " and Interpol." " That's a start." "The device we're recovering is highly sophisticated with a built-in backup system." "So we now know this guy has expert knowledge of both electronics and explosives." "This guy?" "We now believe an individual set off the detonation... witnessing the aftermath last night from a nearby vantage point... and we fully expect him to obsessively follow this investigation." "You mean in the press?" "Closer." "From his home." "The bomb was complex, intricate." "Perhaps overly so." "I believe this trait extends to his obsessions." "Expect to find an array of eavesdropping devices... scanners, cell phone cloners, R.F. receivers." "He's listening to every transmission we make." "It's his way of inserting himself into the chaos." "The chaos he creates." "And that's why we're changing the protocol." "Communication regarding this investigation will be conducted through hard line only." "No one is to use their cellular phone." "Except Frank Black." "Then Alison said she heard it was a bomb and I told her..." "I just pray that it was a gas leak or something." " He called me on Thursday." " may I have your credit card?" "You got a confirmation on that?" "Did we get a vapor trace analysis?" "It was positive, Semtrex. " Probably stolen from the military." "Have the National Guard Armory check its inventory." "Riley and Johnson are looking into Fort McNair and Bolling Air Force Base." "I'll check the Washington Navy Yard." "Call you in an hour." "I think we're getting close." " How long do we chump for him?" " As long as it takes." "I'm gonna try a different cell site." "Yeah." "Hello?" "Contact." "The instant your finger hits the "send" button, we're onto it." "We got every piece of equipment ever invented at our disposal." "Court orders have been signed, phone company's on board... all we need to do is keep him online." " How long?" " Depends." " If he's calling from a landline." " It was a cloned cell phone." "Right." "Absolutely." "And if he's smart..." " He is." " He'll use several in rotation." "If he changes signals, it'll be impossible to trace." "No." "Not impossible." "Very hard to trace, not impossible." "If we lock onto the signature frequency of his phone, we can use RF-CALL trace... which is only a 10-second delay from real time to track... cell sites, cell faces, hand-offs, signal strength, then we can start to close in the circle, pinpoint his location." "The key is keeping him online until we lock in." "All we have to do is wait." "How long have you been up?" "About 37 hours." "Can't sleep on a plane." "Whoa." "Yeah." " Who is this?" " Hello." "Who is this?" "A star." " Yeah?" " Well, that was rude." "I thought you'd wanna talk to me." " Who the hell is this?" " The one you've been working so hard to find." "Prove it." "R.D.X. C-4." "Homemade." "Underneath the booth in the back." " Okay." "Look, I wanna help you." " You wanna stop me, don't you?" "You do your job, you'll be famous." "A real star." "Isn't that right, star?" "All I wanna do is communicate." "That way, we can help each other." "First I need a name." "What do I call you?" "I already gave you my name." "Kaboom?" "What kind of name is that?" "Sounds like that little guy in The Flintstones." " We lost it." " That was "Kazoo" by the way." "Frank, you believe the tone was appropriate?" "He enjoys the sport." "He'll call back." "He knew what he was doing." "Gave us less than two minutes." "We did get a frequency and sector grid." "Unleash the hounds." "I know the Rock Creek area." "It might be best if Agent Nolan and Agent Takahashi and I..." " take the northwest corner and go south." " Okay." "We'll take the Mill Creek Cemetery and move north." "Once we confirm the suspect's signature frequency we'll lock on and triangulate to pinpoint his location." "Charlie One, this is Charlie Two." "We're in position at 1300 Lincoln at Carolina." "Copy, Charlie Two." "Yeah." "Every 15 minutes for the last three hours straight." "Is there any way to confirm that these phone calls are coming from the same location?" "No." "Duration of the calls is way too short." "It's calculated to burn us out." "He's planning something for today." "5:17, breaking a pattern." " Yeah?" " Frank, it's Catherine." " I'm so worried." "You haven't called." " I have to call you back." "Frank, wait." "Jor..." " Hello?" " Catherine, I'm so sorry." "You can't call me on my cell phone." "It's being monitored." "Monitored?" "Frank, what's going on?" "I know that you can't tell me the specifics, but, are you all right?" "Jordan had a nightmare about you." "Frank?" "Yeah." " Yeah." " Getting any sleep, Frank?" "Shouldn't let it keep you from calling Catherine." "You must be pretty tired yourself." "No rest for the weary." "All work and no play makes a dull boy." "Charlie Two, this is Charlie One." "Signature frequency is 8355612.67." "Copy, Charlie One." "On the way." "What I do is not work, Frank." "It's art." "My palette is fire, glass and blood." "It's a fleeting art." "Lasts only a fraction of a second." "But the effect is profound." "Permanent." "And if you're lucky... and you happen to look in the right direction at the right time, you might get to see my creation." " When?" " Later... today." " Got 'im." " Charlie One, just read a hand-off." "Cell 67 to cell 54." "He's traveling." "The strength of the signal indicates southeast." "He's in a car." "Turn left now." "I touch people in a deep, lasting way." "A life-altering way." " You're really a very important man." " Well, thank you, sirrah." "I'm glad you see that." "Do you know precisely what happens at the moment of detonation?" "Shock waves moving faster than the speed of sound." "Pressure of over 500 pounds per square inch." "And this is all unleashed by me, Frank." "It moves so fast that a vacuum is formed behind it... sucking back all the air that's been forced out by the blast." "So you see, Frank, a glass splinter... will literally turn itself around, go back... and penetrate anything that's in its path." "I just don't know anything that has power to stop that." "my art brings out the truth." "People are either victors or victims." "my explosion strips every hypocrisy... every pretension sheltered in the human heart..." " and exposes the naked soul." " More time." "I feel your work is about waiting." "Anticipating the moment." "The terror created." "Playing so long in the mind, the fantasy becomes dull." "The only moment worth a damn, the only arousal, is the moment of fire." "You feel the heat upon your face." "The impact upon your chest." "The screams, the sirens," "It is the moment of creation." "Charlie Two, lock onto 835567." "Help me find him." "The signal is real strong at cell 46, two blocks northwest of your present location." "Turn right at Illinois." " You're an artist too, Frank." " Oh, he's close." "At 9:00 this morning, I hope you'll appreciate my work." " Lost the signal." " Give me that number." "He won't bite." "Somewhere out here is a bomb." "And we got about three hours to find it." "Using the data from the suspect's cellular phone activities... we've extrapolated the probable path of his vehicle... prior to 5:17 a. m." "when he contacted us." "It puts him near this two-block area of shops and businesses... that might fit his pattern of attack." "Red team will be searching the northwest section of Columbia to 13th." "Blue team will start at Franklin and Fifth, move west to Marian Avenue." "We are looking for any suspicious packages." "Building managers, business owners have been notified." "They will help us to determine if anything looks out of place... if there's been any sign of a break-in." "We've informed our search teams if they see anything that might be a bomb... do not be a hero." "Note the location and alert the bomb squad." " We got two and a half hours." " Let's go." " Frank, you don't look too good." " I'm all right." "I'll get some sleep after we find him." "Well, at least we've determined the search area." "It's not enough, Pete." "All this manpower." "I feel I could save so many lives if I understood what he wants." "We all heard him, Frank." "It's the thrill." "Sexual transference." "It's more." "His thrills wear out quickly." "First, he alerts the authorities there's a bomb." "After a day, he needs more." "So he has to contact us, taunt us to the point of near-capture." "What will he do to increase his excitement?" "What if it's some kind of God complex?" "He talked about his creation." "About controlling people." "What I can't get out of my head is when he stated..." "I'd be famous when I caught him." "A star." "It lies in there somehow." "What a nightmare." "Traffic was backed up to Fourth Street." " It took almost an hour to move five blocks." " There was a bomb scare." "We're giving every nut with a phone the power to shut down business." "Jack, this is Frank." "Send a bomb squad to 2300 Oglethorpe." "North of the parking structure on Maryland." "You have 15 minutes, plenty of time to evac..." "Just warming up." "Hmm, third floor." " Get out of here!" " I don't know!" "Come on!" "Move!" "There's a bomb!" "Keep moving, there may be another bomb." "Go, go." "Move." "Get back!" "It's all right." "I'll get you out of here alive." "Frank?" "Frank." "We had such a bad connection on the phone, I thought I'd connect with you in person." " Jordan." " Amy has her for the weekend." "When I got the call, I got so scared." "I heard you that night." "Frank, on the phone." "Dr. Bowman says you have a mild concussion." "But, it's not your body healing that worries me." "It's your spirit." "You should know that for every dark soul... that you connect with, there is a bright one." "The man that pulled you out of the building... he came by to see how you were." "I don't remember." "He's been on every channel this morning." "A 49-year-old unidentified man went berserk last night..." " Total commitment." "I mean, all the time..." " Yes, total commitment." "His name is Raymond Dees." "what was your reaction when you saw what you thought was the bomb?" "I had a flash of fear like everybody else." "But I kept my head because I knew I had to get everybody out of there." "What would you like to say to whoever did this?" "what I'd like to say, I won't, out of respect for the people out there." "But I would like him to know that we're not just victims, and we will find him." "How does it feel to be a star?" "I just did what anybody else in my place would've done." "Kaboom." "You wanna bring him in because he was a hero... twice?" "That's him." "I know it." "Frank, after Centennial Park, there is no way... that I could bring this guy in without more evidence." "The bomber has expert knowledge in explosive devices." "He knows precisely what and how much to use to create the effect he wants." "There were two explosions today." "Neither one of which matched the lethal intensity of the Queen's Arms bombing." "It was lethal enough to kill five people." "But not so destructive that a person couldn't survive inside of it." "Especially if he knew when and how the force would dissipate." "Raymond Dees is a maintenance worker in that building." "He has the knowledge and the opportunity... to place those devices where it would best suit him." "He watched the first bombing from a distance." "He believed that watching the chaos, which he created, would be the thrill." "But he needed more." "To smell it." "To touch it." "To participate in the aftermath." "But that wasn't enough either." "So today, he placed himself within his created chaos." "Wasn't enough to watch others." "He needed to watch himself." "A real star." "Are you saying he killed 18 people so he could be on Good morning America?" "Killing wasn't a motive." "It was a by-product of his obsession." "I ran a check on Raymond Dees." "He served a stint in the military." "Middle East." "Explosive specialist." " Red team control..." " Clear!" "Blue team leader, we are in position." "Bedroom clear, sir." "He left in a hurry." " Nothing down there." " Agent Pierson, you should come in here, sir." "There's something I think you should see." "This was all on when we came in." "He's still listening to us." "That's my cell phone number." " One Baker Six, what's your 20?" " 10-87 at 273 Lamont Avenue." "He knew we were coming." "Could be anywhere by now." "Well, at least half of America knows what he looks like." "Looking at these materials, it's very possible he made another one." "Hey, Frank, you should still be in the hospital." "Get the hell outta here." "We'll have Forensics go through all this evidence." "We'll meet tomorrow." "Go." "Thank you." "Yeah." "Raymond, where are you?" "Been waiting on you, Frank." "We have a situation at the parking lot." "Block off the access." "Nobody goes in or out." "I want sharpshooters now!" "I know, Frank." "You probably feel like I feel." "You can't move." "just waiting." "You know it's gonna end, but you don't know how." "I know." "Suspect is a man we believe has killed 18 people." "You get there, you got a clean shot, you take it." "Let's go." "Raymond, do you know precisely what happens at the moment of detonation?" " You know I do." " No, you don't." "The moment this bomb explodes... you lose your power." "You lose your control." "Raymond, you're a hero." "A star." " Are you gonna throw that all away?" " No!" "You're trying to take it away from me." "I'm getting it back." "And I'll be very clear about something." "People will know who I am." "Got a clean profile." "Wait." "He's holding a transmitter in his hand." "Muscle spasm might set it off." "Then go for the medulla oblongata shot." "Take him out." " Frank." " What?" "I've seen it..." "The moment before?" "Their faces?" "They're terrified... because they don't understand." "Unlike you, Frank... they don't understand what it is to give yourself over to chaos." "But you understand." "You've seen it too." "I can tell." " B-pillar's blocking my shot." "You're gonna have to take it, Alpha Two." "Ten-four." "It's time." "Frank." "Raymond." "Raymond." "Frank, they checked it over twice." "No sign of explosives in either car." "He told me he knew how it was gonna end." "He controlled the whole thing right from the start... including the method of his execution." "He was right." "He got it all back... and we helped him." "People are gonna know his name." "Are we on yet?" "Are we on?" "Okay." "One camera." "We're up." "Go, go." "And the violence that began 75 hours ago, ends in violence tonight... as the suspect, Raymond Patrick Dees... was shot and killed by police sharpshooters." "The alleged bomber, a maintenance worker in the Hadden Tower, the site of this morning's bombing, was heralded as a hero... as he pulled victims out of the blast area and into safety." "With his death, the reasons behind the bombings may never be known." "Revision:" "Thor"
