00:01It's iconic.
00:02The most famous police sketch in history is the Unabomber.
00:07A terrorist called Unabomber is planning to blow up an airliner sometime during the next six days.
00:12He's targeting airlines, scientists, computers, forestry people.
00:15We have done every kind of victimology.
00:18His victims are totally random.
00:21That poor fella's wrong.
00:24He's lonely, he's smart, extremely precise.
00:27He feels underappreciated, victimized, and he's angry.
00:34You figure out the philosophy, you can figure out the man, you can crack the code.
00:46An operation of this size and scale is unprecedented.
00:49We believe it to be a singular opportunity to lure the Unabomber into the light.
00:53You have the full support of the DOJ.

01:06All I have to do is write your name on a box.
01:09And I can reach out and touch anyone, anywhere.
01:16If a box comes with your name on it, you can't even imagine doing anything other than obeying.
01:22The FBI recommendation is that we publish the manifesto.
01:34This is the reckoning...
01:37He's been outsmarting us the whole time.
01:41Everybody's wrong except for you.
01:43I know him like I know myself.
01:48We need a guilty plea from Ted.
01:51This is our only shot.
01:52You're the only shot.
01:53Man on Tunabomber, an eight-episode event, starts Tuesday, August 1st at 9 on Discovery and the Discovery Go app.
