Fitz investigates a potential threat from the Unabomber, who claims he will bomb a commercial jetliner, leading to a confrontation with Ted Kaczynski in 1997.

Ted writes to his brother, reflecting on pivotal moments from his past that shaped his path toward terrorism.

Fitz works urgently to uncover a linguistic link that could lead to an arrest warrant as FBI agents approach Ted's remote cabin in Montana.

Ted is unable to have the evidence against him dismissed, so Fitz makes a final attempt to convince him to plead guilty.
