This episode follows two major FBI cases. In Albuquerque, Byron Chubbik, a calm yet violent serial bank robber, hits multiple banks, sometimes several in a day, leaving minimal evidence. Despite dye packs and eyewitness efforts, he evades capture until his pregnant wife identifies him. After a dramatic standoff and arrest, he escapes from custody in 2000, prompting a massive manhunt and eventually a re-capture. The second half investigates Puerto Rican nationalist group FALN’s bombing campaign in New York and Chicago. The FBI traces dynamite bombs to a Bronx retailer and connects suspects via fingerprints, surveillance, and safe houses. Key arrests follow years of pursuit, linking activists like William Morales and Carlos and Haiti Torres to the attacks, revealing a clandestine network behind a domestic terror campaign.
