What do you know about
entomological warfare?
52

For over a thousand years, human beings
have been weaponizing insects.
53
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,435
In the 12th century, wasps' nests
were catapulted into enemy towns.
54
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,672
During the Cold War, the Pentagon
developed plans to produce
55
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,720
a hundred million yellow-fever-infected
mosquitoes per month.

And the most notorious
Japanese war criminal
57
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,192
in World War II was General Shiro,
58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,114

bubonic-plague-carrying insects
59
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,511
that killed tens of thousands

had eaten the lining of his lungs.

SIMA:
We agree with Mr. Reddington.
80
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:39,557
Jury questionnaires can be sent
to potential jurors prior to jury selection.
81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:46,638
But he wants to ask 382 questions,
most of which require essay answers.
82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,234
It'd take jurors days to complete.
83

for a crime I didn't commit.

and contrast the role of memory

with examples."

92
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,959
Your Honor, I believe
the prosecution wants to intentionally
93
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,353
dumb down the jury questionnaire
because he wants to attract dumb jurors.
94
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,158
Because Mr. Sima wants a jury
of unsophisticated, unthinking sheep
95
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,031
who will blindly convict me of treason
out of some misguided notion
96
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,476
that it's the patriotic thing to do.
97
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,394
I, on the other hand, want astute jurors,
98
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,158

complicated evidence I plan to present,
99
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,600
capable of evaluating not only my
motives but those of the government.
100
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,434
- The literature question is stricken.
- Excellent.
101
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,479
That sort of bias will only
aid in my appeal,

They're scavengers and fierce predators.

But what I don't understand
118
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,791
is how the larva were able to survive in
digestive enzymes and stomach acids.
119
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,997
I thought you said he suffocated.
120
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,800
That is the cause of death.
But I found larval remnants
121
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:04,273
in his stomach wall and digestive tract.
He may have ingested them.
122
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,475
These creatures were literally feeding
on him, eating from the inside out.
123
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,633
My guess is that they migrated
into his bronchial tubes and lungs.
124
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,114
And the incision in the neck, well,
that simply provided an escape hatch.

You are looking at
a genetically-modified version
183
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,558
of a predacious diving beetle
known as the Dytiscidae.
184
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,632
- "Predacious"?
- Predatory.
185
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,918
There are over 4000 types
of carnivorous beetles.
186
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,191
- But none that prey on humans.
- Not naturally, no.
187
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,238
But nothing about what happened
was natural.
188
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,950
The gestation period of the Dytiscidae
is at least a week.
189
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,431
There's no reason the larvae
should've survived inside his body
190

That's what the medical examiner

I can't explain it. All I know is that
someone made alterations.
193
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,797

200
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,954
Powerful ones like Hexapene,
which I developed when I worked there.
201
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,158
It was designed for use
after natural disasters like hurricanes,
202
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,111
when the waters left behind could breed
potentially disease-infected insects.
203
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,557
Some thought it was too powerful, so it
was not approved for commercial use.
204
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,274
But I still got death threats.
205
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,717

- You sound very rational.
206
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,556
In the environmental world,
that thinking is in short supply.

I was a lowly technician. Bob was CEO.
If I got death threats, I'm sure he did.

00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,637
We believe our killer fashions himself
as a latter-day General Shiro.

Does that mean anything to you?
211
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,194
General Shiro was a war criminal.
212
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,398
But his knowledge of how to weaponize
the insect world was so great
213
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,392
that instead of executing him,
214
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:00,190
the Allies hired him to teach us
how to wage a bio war.
215
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,149
If the man you are looking for
fashions himself after Shiro,
216
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,279
it means to get his point across,
217
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,114
he doesn't care
how many people he kills.
218
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,840
Hexapene is what connects
the three victims.
219
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,753
Lockemy ran the company
that developed it.
220
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,957
Steiner was the attorney
he hired to patent it.
221
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,750
Helfrich was the chemist
he used to manufacture the pesticide.
222
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Hexapene wasn't approved
for commercial use.
223
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,871
Not yet. But according to SEC filing,
224
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,600
Lockemy was lobbying
Congress and the FDA for approval.
225
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,639
And now someone's killed everyone
involved in making that happen.
226
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,998
I got something.
This is Lockemy's calendar.
227
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,311
Business meetings, speeches,

with Dick Kendel.

00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,880
If the juror insists he's impartial,
I'm inclined to take him at his word.
498
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,190
So I made the cut.
499
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,677
WILKINS: You did. Thank you
in advance for your service.
500
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,071
Thank you, Your Majesty.
501
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:08,436
And may I say, unlike my last judge,
you are a tall drink of water.
502
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,992
Your last judge? You said
you hadn't served on a jury before.
503
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,949
I wasn't on the jury. I was the defendant.
I won 100K at a craps table in Reno.
504
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:19,510
Casino took me to court for sliding dice.
505
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,911
And did you slide dice?
506
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,754
- Six boxcars in a row.
- So you're a convicted felon?
507
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,311
Or a parable for our times,
the common man,
508
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,190
forced to do something uncommon
to make ends meet.
509
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,158
I bought a sweet condo, that's for sure.
510
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,520
Mr. Reddington, as moving as your
boundless empathy for this man may be,
511
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,196
a convicted felon may not serve on a jury.
You're dismissed.
512
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,879
For what? Leveling the playing field?
Odds of rolling a pair of sixes is 36 to 1.
513
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,279
House only pays 31 to 1
and you think I'm the crook here?
514
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,353
What about a jury of his peers, huh?
515
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,319
You can't have
a bunch of pocket protectors.
516
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,234
This is Raymond Reddington
we're talking about.
517
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,472
- I thought you didn't know who he was.
- I don't. Not in a biblical sense.
518
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,000
That's not how I roll.
519
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,959
Mr. Carter,
you should roll on out of here.
520
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,520
[SCOFFS]
521
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,439
We had it wrong about Lockemy
and Kendel being on opposite sides.
522
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,160
They both wanted
to legalize Hexapene.
523
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,273
Files from the Blacklister's lab
indicate that Lockemy paid Kendel
524
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,716
to support legislation
being considered by Congress.
525
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,557
Paid his organization $3 million
to do an independent analysis.
526
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,598
For that money,
hard to stay independent.
527
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,116
Have you been able
to ID the Blacklister?
528
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,034
Not yet. We've looked through
the tax records on the property.
529
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,796
But it's owned by a holding company.
TAC team's on site. He hasn't showed.
530
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,270
Kendel sold out and paid with his life.
531
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,717
Lockemy, Steiner and Helfrich
were killed for being true believers.
532
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,590
Dr. Nikkila's not only a true believer.
He invented Hexapene.
533
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,080
COOPER:
Reach out to him.
534
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,677
Get him a security detail and somebody
to monitor what he eats and drinks.
535
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,390
We also found a press release
that Kendel's organization
536
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,314
was scheduled to release today
in support of Hexapene.
537
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,871
LIZ: Why today?
Press releases are tied to a news event.
538
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,272
The legislation that Congress
is considering to legalize Hexapene,
539
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,160
the Committee on Energy and
Commerce is holding a hearing today.
540
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,758
And the Blacklister had the date
circled in his calendar.
541
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,235
We're on our way.
542
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,751
SAMAR: We found Dr. Nikkila.
- That's a relief.
543
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,149
Not where we found him.
544
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960
The hearing you're on your way to,
Dr. Nikkila is the witness.
545
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,272
We've contacted Capitol Police,
but don't have a description of the unsub.
546
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,715
Are they willing to postpone?
547
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,430
Shut down Capitol Hill over a
toxic beetle larva? It's not gonna happen.
548
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,034
Have you reached out to Nikkila?
549
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,193
LIZ: He's not answering. We've left
messages, phone and text.
550
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,869
This man will strike again
at the hearing.
551
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,953
- When does it start?
- Five minutes ago.
552
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,119
Good morning.
My name is Dr. Jonathan Nikkila.
553
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,990
I want to begin by thanking you
for inviting me to testify.
554
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,278
I am confident that
before the hearing concludes,
555
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,196
you will agree with me that the question
of whether or not to legalize Hexapene
556
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,593
is, quite literally,
a matter of life and death.

[♪♪♪]
558
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,515
Yes, I personally developed
the pesticide in question, Hexapene.
559
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,876
So I can vouch for its efficacy.
560
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,875
There are environmentalists
who worry about its effect on people.
561
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,718
It's true that like all pesticides, Hexapene
can have negative effects on humans.
562
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,394
But that is not really the point.
563
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,233
Harm to humans isn't the...

[COUGHING]
565
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,316
I'm sorry. I was asking,
isn't harm to humans the whole point?

Agents Ressler and Keen, FBI.
568
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,518
Talbert, Capitol Police.
We spoke. EMT's en route.
569
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,359
Dr. Nikkila. Can you take us to him?
570
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,560
The real threat Hexapene poses
is to the insects, not humans.
571
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,360
It decimates insect populations.
572
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,678
Not just the insects it targets,
all insects.
573
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,035
It is not the only one.
574
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,991
Pesticides are causing cataclysmic
die-offs of insects throughout the world.
575
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,389
It is not just honeybees.
576
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,157
I think we're getting off topic. The issue
is the harm caused to humans.
577
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,597
Our land can live
without humans, thrive even.
578
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,595
The Earth dies without insects.
No pollination, no crops, no food.
579
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,753
No way to remove rotting flesh,
dead vegetation.
580
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,113
Without insects, the Earth will
become a deep, dark graveyard
581
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,432
because we killed off
its most important inhabitants.
582
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,436
In that case, why didn't you protest the
making of Hexapene in the first place?
583
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,871
Because I trusted my colleagues.
584
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,876
I was assured Hexapene would only be
used in the wake of a natural disaster.
585
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,356
But I found out
Mr. Lockemy misled me.
586
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,231
He intended to sell Hexapene
everywhere and lobbying you to allow it.
587
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,313
I begged him to reconsider.
588
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,633
He thought I was being hysterical,
but I felt and feel
589
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,875
that people who poison the planet
present a danger that must be eliminated
590
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,990
as an act of global self-defense
and justice.

That, sir, is why
you cannot stop coughing.

You have been poisoned.

Forty people, three life vests.

we can find our way out of this one.

An address for my

But I had to test it, verify.

I needed to prove my hypothesis

And my six experiments
proved that they could.

You modified the insects, took traits from
