I wouldn't say a problem.
338
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,009
I was aware of a falling-out he had
with Jonah McGuire,
339
00:17:01,186 --> 00:17:02,881
- his operations officer.
- About what?
340
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:04,818
McGuire was cited
for a safety violation
341
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:06,514
during a recent OSHA inspection.
342
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:08,887
The company decided
to let McGuire go.
343
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:11,086
It was a decision
that Hebner signed off on.
344
00:17:11,296 --> 00:17:12,661
Did McGuire know
he was being let go?
345
00:17:12,831 --> 00:17:16,426
Paperwork was still being finalized,
but he saw the writing on the wall.
346
00:17:16,735 --> 00:17:19,602
That's not just a red flag,
that's a motive.
347
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,530
Why would someone
want to kill Marv?

- That's not what we heard.

00:17:27,312 --> 00:17:29,678

you had a pretty big ax to grind.
351
00:17:29,848 --> 00:17:31,213
Then you're misinformed.
352
00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:33,408
Marv was my closest friend.
353

wasn't too friendly.

for getting fired.
357
00:17:43,962 --> 00:17:45,259
It was my idea.

00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:48,862
That makes no sense.
There's a lot of that going on today.
359
00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:53,368
Marv was the one at fault
for that safety hit, not me.
360
00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:56,975
I took the fall because I knew
what the consequences would be.
361
00:17:57,142 --> 00:18:00,077
So you lied in order to get fired.
Still not making sense.
362

JONAH: You don't understand
what the job meant to Marv.
363
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,414
And an OSHA infraction
would have ruined his career.

00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:09,953
I couldn't let that happen
after all the things he'd done for me.

about the bomb itself.

- That's good.
- Not really.
383
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:01,532
The cell phone detonator
is a disposable, so there's no trail.
384
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:06,269
And the explosive device, the main
ingredient was pure black powder.
385
00:19:06,445 --> 00:19:09,005
Which isn't regulated,
making it nearly impossible to trace.
386
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:12,378
We do know that the bomb
had minimal damage payload,
387
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:15,452
so we're not dealing with some
professional big-time terrorist.

00:19:15,621 --> 00:19:17,851
It didn't need to be.
With the flammable gasses
389
00:19:18,023 --> 00:19:19,820
and materials onboard that platform,
390
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:21,789
all they needed
was the right ignition point
391
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,154
to set off a chain reaction.
392
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:25,319
Which brings me
to my next interesting fact.
393
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:27,658
Based on the device's blast radius,
394
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:30,563
it was placed
in the one spot on the bridge
395
00:19:30,736 --> 00:19:33,967
where a chain reaction
wouldn't take out the entire rig.
396
00:19:34,139 --> 00:19:36,471
Either they got really lucky
397
00:19:36,642 --> 00:19:40,476
or our bomber had intimate knowledge
of the platform's structural layout.
398
