What the...
:54:04
Now we're getting somewhere.
:54:08
They're digital scans of letters
to the editor of The New England Courant.
:54:11
Written 1722.
:54:14
They're all from the same person.
"Your humble servant, Silence Dogood. "
:54:33
Gentlemen...
:54:35
why is this word capitalised?
:54:40
Because it's important?
:54:45
Because it's a name.
:54:47
OK, I got it.
When Ben Franklin was only 15 years old
:54:50
he secretly wrote 14 letters
to his brother's newspaper
:54:53
pretending to be a middle-aged widow
named Silence Dogood.
:54:57
These letters were written
by Benjamin Franklin.
:55:06
Looks OK.
:55:09
- Park a couple of blocks away.
- Well, how long do you think we got?
:55:11
I'm gonna give them a couple of hours
at least. I hope.
:55:15
What do we do about her?
I've got some duct tape in the back.
:55:19
No, that won't be necessary.
She won't be any trouble.
:55:21
- Promise you won't be any trouble.
- I promise.
:55:24
See? She's curious.
:55:29
Here's what I got on Gates. A degree
in American History from Georgetown,
:55:34
a degree in Mechanical Engineering
at MIT,
:55:36
Navy ROTC and Naval Diving
and Salvage Training Centre.
:55:41
What in the world did this guy
want to be when he grew up?
:55:44
We keep our focus on Gates.
:55:46
Run him to ground.
:55:48
Compile a family-and-friends list.
Closest relative first.
:55:52
I want to find out who this guy is.
