Serial bomber Eric Rudolph,

In the letters, Rudolph takes
full responsibility

that he never meant
to harm anyone,

"Stop the murder of children."

The Unabomber

Or there's a patrol
too close for comfort.

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,430
Look, I think Rudolph
is claiming

55
00:02:33,498 --> 00:02:36,428

because he thinks that will sway

00:02:36,501 --> 00:02:38,231

57
00:02:38,296 --> 00:02:41,326
And he's saying he never meant
to hurt anyone to try to wriggle

58
00:02:41,402 --> 00:02:44,412
out of a premeditated
murder charge.

59
00:02:44,474 --> 00:02:47,104

of being captured.

to government tyranny.

Yeah, it's easy for you to say.
You ain't got a job,

How can you say
we shouldn't act?

If we don't pull the trigger
right now,

368
00:19:06,904 --> 00:19:09,394
we might as well admit
this whole militia is a joke

And the only way
I can see this is,

387
00:19:54,503 --> 00:19:57,853
it's like someone bombed
the gas chambers at Auschwitz,

388
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,960
and accidentally hurt
Dr. Mengele

389
00:20:00,026 --> 00:20:01,916

I d on't know if Eric Rudolph

of this whole operation.

589

of a string of failures.

596

Failures you all helped nurture.

597
00:31:50,736 --> 00:31:52,566
When you let cars
run through roadblocks

598
00:31:52,634 --> 00:31:54,154
and you're not arresting
the drivers

599
00:31:54,222 --> 00:31:57,402
and impounding the vehicles.

600
00:31:57,467 --> 00:32:00,297
When you let signs go up
supporting a fugitive.

601
00:32:00,366 --> 00:32:02,366
And you're not out there
pounding on doors.

602
00:32:02,437 --> 00:32:05,507
When you allow
a known militia group

603
00:32:05,578 --> 00:32:07,548
to operate with impunity

604
00:32:07,615 --> 00:32:09,815
inside of
a fugitive search zone,

605
00:32:09,893 --> 00:32:12,593
and you do nothing.

606
00:32:12,654 --> 00:32:15,214
When you get shot at
by that same militia group...

607
00:32:17,142 --> 00:32:18,972
...and your first instinct

608
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,080
is to call Daddy for help,

609
00:32:21,146 --> 00:32:23,456
instead of immediately

610
00:32:23,527 --> 00:32:25,597
striking back.

611
00:32:25,667 --> 00:32:27,637
Each one of those actions

612
00:32:27,704 --> 00:32:29,844
is a test.

613
00:32:29,913 --> 00:32:31,363
Each one of those tests

614
00:32:31,432 --> 00:32:34,332
you have systematically failed.

615
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,160

has been broadcast

upon yourselves,

619

but upon the entire FBI.

I want you to think about that.

621
00:33:04,499 --> 00:33:07,049
I hate barking at my own people.

622
00:33:07,123 --> 00:33:08,753
What I hate even worse...

623
00:33:11,161 --> 00:33:14,301
...is that you put me in a
position where I had no choice.

624
00:33:19,411 --> 00:33:21,971
You once said the fish rots
from the head down.

625
00:33:22,034 --> 00:33:23,904
That's true.

of my leadership.

But I can turn this around, sir.

and I know exactly
what our next move should be.

known as The Regulators.

If we arrest him,
the resistance to the FBI

635
00:33:46,817 --> 00:33:48,647
will be leaderless
and fall apart.

We cut off the head
of the snake.

637
00:33:50,442 --> 00:33:53,132
And why haven't you
done so already?

638
00:33:53,203 --> 00:33:55,963
I need real striking power.

639
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:58,454
You don't just go and knock
on Big John's door.

640
00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:01,179
You kick it in, hard and fast.

that goes with them.

Yes, sir.

652
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:29,380
I'm not giving you strike teams.

653
00:34:29,446 --> 00:34:31,136
I'm gonna give you an army.

Armored Humvees,

655

helicopters, all the manpower
and gear you need.

656
00:34:35,763 --> 00:34:39,043
I'll even build you a base
to hold it all.

657
00:34:39,111 --> 00:34:41,321
We are gonna dominate here.

658
00:34:41,389 --> 00:34:44,219
We are gonna show these people
who's boss.

659
00:34:44,289 --> 00:34:46,569
I appreciate that, sir.

660
00:34:46,636 --> 00:34:49,116
Um, it's just...

661
00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:51,640
we're walking a fine line here.

662
00:34:51,710 --> 00:34:54,440
Despite recent events,
we believe only a small minority

663
00:34:54,506 --> 00:34:56,956
of people would even consider
helping Rudolph

664
00:34:57,025 --> 00:34:59,815
or opposing the FBI.

665
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:02,340
I'm concerned that building
a big base here

666
00:35:02,410 --> 00:35:05,100
will alienate pretty much
everyone in Nantahala.

to be an FBI agent.

allies and they never will be.

what he says to himself?

674
00:35:29,265 --> 00:35:31,775
"Not my town, not my problem."

00:35:31,853 --> 00:35:33,923

Yeah.

676
00:35:33,993 --> 00:35:37,313
We never get to say that.

00:35:37,376 --> 00:35:40,686
You let your guard down
for one minute,

00:35:40,759 --> 00:35:43,239
Eric escapes
in the trunk of a car,

679
00:35:43,313 --> 00:35:45,213
goes on to kill more people,

680
00:35:45,281 --> 00:35:48,041
that blood is on your hands,
on our hands,

681
00:35:48,111 --> 00:35:50,841
and it never washes off.

682
00:35:52,978 --> 00:35:56,188
We don't answer to a few locals.

683
00:35:56,257 --> 00:35:58,777
We answer to the entire nation.

684
00:35:58,846 --> 00:36:00,876
The American people.

685
00:36:00,951 --> 00:36:03,371
That's why I can forgive
a few mistakes.

686
00:36:03,437 --> 00:36:06,887
You know? Nobody's gonna
get it right 100% of the time.

687
00:36:06,957 --> 00:36:09,957
What I cannot forgive
is weakness.

688
00:36:11,376 --> 00:36:12,886
Not in this organization,

689
00:36:12,963 --> 00:36:14,793
with this responsibility
on our shoulders.

690
00:36:16,691 --> 00:36:18,871
The end of the day,
it is far better

691
00:36:18,935 --> 00:36:20,485
to be strong and wrong

692
00:36:20,557 --> 00:36:22,937
than to be weak and right.

to the Lamborghini.

694
00:36:38,334 --> 00:36:40,444
Hope you know how to drive it.

695

didn't claim Centbom.

696
00:36:59,976 --> 00:37:02,566
And I know how to find him.

697
00:37:02,634 --> 00:37:04,224
Will you listen to me?

698
00:37:04,291 --> 00:37:07,541
We are T-minus ten minutes away
from ending this war

699
00:37:07,604 --> 00:37:09,194
- in one operation.
- Excuse me.

700
00:37:09,261 --> 00:37:10,851
Can you and me just talk
for a second?

701
00:37:10,918 --> 00:37:13,328
- T-minus nine. - Just a minute.

702
00:37:14,577 --> 00:37:16,127
You asked me before

703
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:19,059
why Eric Rudolph didn't claim
credit for the Olympic bombing.

704
00:37:19,133 --> 00:37:20,313
This is why.

705
00:37:20,376 --> 00:37:23,336
Because Olympic Park
shows Eric Rudolph

706
00:37:23,413 --> 00:37:25,043
for who he truly is.

707
