Miami, April 11th, 1986, one of the bloodiest 1 days in FBI history, special agents, including 25-year veteran Benjamin Grogan, and his young partner Jerry Dove, corner a car driven by two violent bank robbers. An intense gunbattle ensues. Over 100 rounds are fired. When the shooting stops, the two gunmen are dead, but so are special agents Grogan and Dove. Five other special agents are wounded in the fierce firefight. Neither one of the slain 2 special agents was wearing a bullet-proof vest that day. Soon after, new FBI regulations made vests mandatory 3.
Rookie special agent Stephanie Sherick has to adjust to the dangers of the job. She's only been with the FBI for three months.
"It's not a traditional job that every little girl grows up thinking, you know, they wanna carry a gun and go kick down doors, and put handcuffs on people who are usually bigger than you. Most of the women that I know in this field have a little bit of spunk 4 to them and they have a fire inside them that drives them."
After more than two decades as a special agent, Bill Godfrey's still driven to bring the bad guys to justice. He started out as a cop.
"After about five years I had made detective and I just decided 6 that I wanted to work larger investigations 7. And left to come with the FBI, I wanted to play on a higher level, so to speak."
Special agent Steve Veno came to the bureau three years ago after serving as an engineer in the army.
"Of the things that drew me into the FBI, one is the sense of being able to make a real difference. The other thing was the sense of team. The FBI as a team is something that really attracted me."
Shark, Godfrey and Veno are members of one of American's most elite 8 federal law enforcement agencies. 12,000 special agents are spread across the nation at 56 field offices. Covering a population of 1.7 million people, non-fixed special agents like their counterparts across America bring some of humanity's nastiest individuals to justice.
Nobody is better at capturing dangerous criminals than the FBI. In 1950, the bureau invented the ten most wanted to enlist 9 the public's help in tracking fugitives 10. It worked, 94% of the individuals who've appeared on the list have been apprehended 11. Among the ten most wanted, were Ramzi Yousef ringleader of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Eric Rudolph the Atalantic Olympics bomber 12, the man who murdered Martin Luther King Jr., James Earl Ray and serial 13 killer 14 Ted 5 Bundy.
