Can I help you find something?

No, but I'd like to see the owner.

Mr Rausch is with clients right
now Maybe I can assist you?

No, it has to be him.

Well, it could be a little while.

We do have a sitting area You
can help yourself to some...

Now, this is something
a bit more dramatic.

but maybe that's what
you were thinking of.

Mr. Rausch?

If you could give me just one moment

I'm sorry. This really can't wait.

Try it on. I'll be right back.

What can I do for you?

What-what is this?

Exactly what it says.

If you don't help me, your wife
and daughter... are going to die.

What... What have you done
to them? Where are they?

Please, just do as the note says.

The people who have them you have
no idea what they're capable of.

They want diamonds.

Mr. Rausch!

Okay, okay.

Your wife and daughter, Mr. Rausch

Now, I've done everything
you asked. My family...

Not yet. If everything goes
smoothly no police, no FBI,

you'll see them again in 24 hours.

No, no, that's too long. I can't...

Hold it right there, ma'm!

Don't!

Hey, Don.

So, the owner's wife
didn't show at work today

and his daughter never
made it to school, either.

All right, so the kidnapping's real.

Yeah, apparently.

David.

Any idea who she is?

No I.D. Only things she had on
her were car keys sunglasses.

about a half a million in diamonds
she didn't walk in here with.

Weapons?

Depends on what you call a weapon.

The old guy said he thought that
she was reaching for a gun, so...

Well, I hope that shot just
didn't kill 3 people.

We all use math every day

To predict weather

To tell time

To handle money

Math is more than formulas or equations

It's logic

It's rationality

It's using your mind

to solve the biggest mysteries we know

Season 2, Episode 2
Bettor or Worse

All right, listen up, everybody.

This is Diane Rausch,
the store owner's wife,

and their 8-year-old
daughter, Julia.

Now, we're going to play this as
a kidnapping, first and foremost.

The robbery is secondary.

It's just a means to get to the
kidnappers. We clear on that?

David, how we doing on the Jane Doe?

Fingerprints weren't in the system

Coroner's checking dental records

any kind of medical
clue to identify her.

And the car we got anything with that?

I mean, we find that, we
find out who the woman is.

No. Agents canvassed the
neighborhood near the store

and they didn't find a
car to go with her keys.

We should be looking into other ways
that she might have gotten there-

bus, car, bicycle...

She was probably
driven by an accomplice.

Statistically, women
rarely commit a crime alone.

Blame the men, huh, Megan?

The stats blame the men,
granger I'm just quoting them.

Come on. Let's just find this woman.

It's our only way we're gonna
save this kid and her mother.

All right? Any questions? Let's do it.

After what happened, we have to
be worried about their chances.

Let's just assume they're alive and
then their chances are better, right?

Don.

Hey, Charlie.

What are you doing here?

I'm dropping this off for you, man.

You are?

What is it?

Wow. What is it?

I don't know.

It's the geographic crime index you pretty
much begged me to put together for you.

I found some fairly fascinating
patterns in here, as well.

I mean, you should be thanking me.

Right. Right, well, thank you.

- I appreciate it.
- I'm up all night indexing.

Yeah, well, Charlie, you know
we just got this kidnapping case.

It's a mother and her
8-year-old daughter, so...

Kidnapped by whom?

Only lead we have is a Jane Doe.

What do you know about her?

Well, I mean,

she wears sunglasses and drives
a Saturn which we can't find

Are these her keys?

Yeah. We did a search for
the car but it didn't turn up.

Keyless entry remote actually poses a
fairly interesting mathematical problem.

Oh, yeah? And how is that?

Well, much of the general populace
has a remote nowadays don't they?

I mean, I think I read somewhere where
80% of new cars come with a remote.

Yeah, well, thanks.

Hold on.

Every remote has to have a unique
one-to-one relationship with a single car.

Otherwise, you walk out into
a parking lot push that button

any number of cars might unlock.

So, you're saying each
car has its own frequency?

No. That's just it. They're
all on the same frequency.

Every remote has a numerical code
that links it to just one car.

You see, people don't
often think about this stuff

but it's an entirely
math-based technology.

You know who might be able to
help you with this is Larry.

His cosmic listening project at Kitt
Peak involves stacked frequency work.

Well, I got to find this woman's car

so anything you or Larry can do
I mean, I would appreciate it.

So the last time you saw your wife and
daughter they were eating breakfast.

They were sitting at the kitchen table
I kissed them good-bye left for work.

Right. And your wife
drives Julia to school?

That's our routine, every day.

One of the neighbors saw

them pull out around 8:30.
Said everything looked normal.

I just can't imagine what
they're going through right now.

The best thing you could do for them
is just to stay calm and stay focused.

Mr. Rausch, did you happen to
notice anyone hanging around

or any strange cars
parked on the street?

Anything that just didn't
quite seem to belong?

I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.
Nothing comes to mind.

So, what...? What happens next?

Well, we'll set up a command center
in your house and monitor your calls

that way, in case the
kidnappers try to contact you...

A command center? No, I don't want that.

You know, Mr Rausch, we need...

The last thing this woman
said was, "no police, no FBI. "

If these people call back...

If they call I'll do
exactly what they say

I'll pay whatever they ask.

I just want my family back!

"No police, no FBI? "Rausch
could wind up a target himself.

Yeah. That's why we're gonna put a line
on his phone keep him under surveillance.

Hey, Charlie, have you ever
considered our place in the universe?

Certainly every time we speak.

More to the point.

You know, galaxies are
constantly moving away from us

and the farther away they are the
faster they're leaving us behind.

This is more to what point again?

Amita, Charlie.

- Oh
- No, wait.. wait, wait.

As you let that opportunity drift away
it moves faster, and it moves farther.

It's more complicated than that.

And no matter how complicated the
shape and structure of a large star.

You-you take away the nuclear
fuel it becomes what? A black hole.

Mixing cosmic metaphors again are we?

- No, it was galaxies then stars...
- Our relationship is not a black hole. Okay?

Sorry, guys. You're not having
a little lovers' spat are you?

No, he... Larry just likes to...

Why do you like to talk
about every other problem

except the one you're currently
working on at the moment?

Hey, hey, hey, what problem?

Receiver is hooked up, so you just take
that remote there you hit the button

and the emitted data stream will be
captured and conveyed right to the computer.

Okay, I got it. Here you go.

All right, that's the code
that tells the car door to open.

Okay, let's try another one.

That's a different number.

Because it's a rolling code.

Every time I hit the key it sends
out a different signal to the car.

Right. So?

Well, it's like a pitcher.

If he throws the same fastball
every single throw what would happen?

Lots of hits. He'd get pulled.

It's the same with a radio code.

If this key sent out the
same signal every time,

well then, it would be easy for
someone else to intercept it.

With a rolling code the
pitcher needs to mix it up.

Okay, he's throwing curve
balls he's throwing sliders.

So if the remote's sending a different
signal then how does the car understand it?

The change is predictable as long as
you know the algorithm that generates it.

It could be as simple
as adding plus one,

like the catcher adding a single finger
every time he signals the next pitch.

So, then it doesn't matter
if the combination's different

as long as the remote
and the car know it.

However, with this remote the
algorithm's considerably more complicated.

We're looking at a sequence
like 32 hexadecimal digits long.

I mean, that... that's long.

It's a matter of finding the
algorithm that changes the sequence.

The more data I collect the easier
it'll be for me to deduce that algorithm.

Hence, my preference
for classic automobiles.

Standard lock and key technology.
Keep your heated seats...

Guys, look, I'm dealing
with a kidnapping here, okay?

Statistically the more time that goes
by the worse our chances are getting.

I got you. We're on it. We're
moving as fast as we can for you.

You're sorting those based on what?

The ones I like and the ones I don't

Looking at the quality. See
if she knew what she was doing.

She's not in the system.
She has no criminal history.

No record.

And she wakes up this morning
and decides to become a felon.

Maybe she's never been caught before.

I don't see how with her
habits I mean, look at her.

She's making absolutely no
attempt to avoid the cameras.

And her hands... her fingerprints are
on the top of every counter in there.

And look right there...

What?

She looks terrified.

Oh, hey, Amita.

- Hi, Charlie
- Hi

What's going on?

What are you working on?

Something for Don. It's
part of a kidnapping case.

Although, um, right now I'm
not really seeing a solution.

- Can I help?
- Please do.

I'm trying to determine a generating
algorithm from a series of coded data streams.

You're working this as
a straight rolling code.

Yeah

Well, for the first half
definitely. You've proved it.

But for the second half... I don't know.

Have you tried a 1-d
cellular automaton?

What, like...

Wolfram's discrete
computability theories.

Yeah. It's just a thought.

That's a great thought.

What?

What are you smiling about?

Would you want to... do something
with me after we're done here?

Charlie, are you actually
asking me out on a date?

You and me, talking about
anything except work.

What do you say?

Yes.

The coroner's report on our Jane
Doe: no traceable dental work.

She's never even had a cavity.

Yeah, so we got a jewel
thief who flosses, huh?

Anything else we can trace?
Contact lenses, breast implants...

the contact lenses are generic
mail-order so there's no serial numbers

and her breasts-- believe it
or not-- are real... in L.A.

I mean, that wasn't the nose she was
born with which won't help our case at all

but at least it'll help me sleep better
at night knowing she wasn't perfect.

Thanks.

We were able to narrow the
window on the abduction.

Looks like they were grabbed somewhere
between home and the daughter's school.

Colby, how we doing on the
set up at Rausch's house?

Rausch wouldn't allow it.

Wouldn't allow it?

Seems to think he has a better
shot getting them back on his own.

Come on. Wrong move there.

We mentioned that.

Eppes.

Hey, bro, it's me. I calculated the
program algorithm Jane Doe's car keys

and I'm e-mailing it to you right now.

- Yeah?
- Did you get it?

Hold on.

Yeah, I'm getting it. I mean,
I don't know what this means.

It should mean something
to the car manufacturer.

This algorithm is specific to one car.
They should be able to tell you which one.

The DMV can tell you
who the current owner is.

All right, good, Charlie, thanks.

Spotter's got one white male in
his 50s in the front living room

and there's no sign of anyone else.

All right, let's get everyone
in position. Tell David.

Can I help you?

Yes, I have a package
here for Erica Logan.

Erica's not here.

Ah, well, maybe you can sign for her?

Well, sure, okay.

- FBI. Quiet.
- Okay, okay.

- Who else is in the house?
- No one, no one's here but me.

FBI!

FBI! FBI!

Clear!

Clear!

What?

What's going on?

You the registered owner
of a 2001 Saturn Ion?

Yes, it's my daughter's car.

Your daughter?

Erica, but she isn't here
right now. She's at school.

What, she's a student?

No, a teacher. Kindergarten.

Your daughter's a kindergarten teacher?

Why? What's going on?

- Is this her?
- Yes

Where is she?

Where's Erica?

This doesn't make any sense.

She can't be dead.

You must have the wrong girl.

Sir, I'm sorry, we don't.

My wife died when Erica was 12.

Her brother Remy was 6.

Erica kept us going kept us together.

How could someone like that
ever be involved in a robbery?

When was the last time
you saw or spoke to her?

This morning

She lives here with you?

Well... my health hasn't been so great.

Erica moved back in about
a year ago to look after me.

What about a boyfriend? Someone who might
be able to explain what happened today.

Well, truth is, taking care of me and
her brother didn't give her much time

to live her own life
but... tell you this.

Whatever did happen there's
got to be more to it.

Don. They found the wife's car.

It's Mrs. Rausch's car.

Last time she and her daughter were seen
was this morning pulling out of the house.

Kid's school is about 3 blocks from
here so obviously they knew a route.

Kidnapped in broad daylight?

Now, make sure we get
some paint scrapings here.

That's got to be how they were grabbed.

Get hit from behind hop out
to swap insurance information.

I got a shoe here.

It matches what Rausch said the
little girl was wearing this morning.

Thanks.

So looks like it happened fast.

Right? I mean it was well-planned
well-executed they knew her routine.

Got a freeway right around the corner.

Not dealing with amateurs here.

Nah, there's no question
these guys were pros.

Yeah, who used a kindergarten
teacher as their bag man.

And no word no contact in almost 7 hours.
What the hell are they after?

I still think Erica
Logan has to be the key.

This kind of radical shift in behavior.
There has to be some sort of trigger.

Trigger. Like what?

I can tell you what
a textbook would say.

Statistically, it's things
like a near-death experience.

A person can exhibit an extreme shift in
behavior if they survived a plane crash.

Another could be a person

who's told they only have a month to
live may act on fantasies of an alter ego.

Doesn't fit, though in this case--
the autopsy would have flagged that.

All right, so what else?

Uh, parental instinct the perception
of a serious threat to a child.

That also doesn't fit I mean her father
said she doesn't have kids, right?

But there was a brother right the old
man said she practically raised him.

Yeah

A younger sibling could be the trigger

if they had developed
that kind of relationship.

Younger brothers can definitely
be a trigger, trust me.

Go talk to the old man see if
we can get an address on the son.

I want to get everything
we can on that, right?

So, by the way, I wanted to

thank you so much for
earlier for helping me.

I think I would have stared
at those boards all day

if you hadn't come up with
the cellular automaton angle.

So... you rock.

It was one of those weird
inspiration things, you know?

Coming at it with fresh eyes.

It's funny cause my first thought

was the universal conductor
approach but then I realized...

Then you what?

We're doing it again, Charlie.
We're talking about work.

We said we weren't gonna
talk about work, remember?

Yeah... I remember.

- This is ridiculous.
- It's ridiculous.

We have to be able to talk
about something not work related.

- We can have a normal conversation, right?
- We can have a conversation.

What's wrong with us?

I don't know.

Pressure... pressure, maybe.

Yeah. Maybe it's pressure.

Thanks.

Okay ,thanks, thanks a lot.

Look at this. See that?

It's romanesque broccoli. I've actually
only ever seen pictures of it, and there's...

there's a fractal pattern
in here that's... amazing.

How cool is it there's a
vegetable that grows in the ground

that has fractals and at

the same time we're discovering
their importance in astrophysics?

It really makes you wonder...

Yeah.

You were right

Brother's name is Remy Logan got a
sheet goes back to when he was a juvie.

Oh, yeah, look at this: petty
theft, narcotics, gambling charges...

Just the kind of little brother that
could complicate a sister's life.

- We know where he is?
- Yeah, David just called with that address.

All right, go pick him up.

What do you suppose the
rent is on a place like this?

I don't know... like, 2 grand.
$2,500. You looking to move?

The place I'm in doesn't have a pool.

I'm just kind of thinking here
I am moved all the way to L.A.

Should have a pool, you know?

Absolutely, man, a pool's
a birthright around here.

Here it is.

His car's in the garage.

There's someone in there.

Remy Logan! FBI. Open up!

He's going out the back.

FBI! Stop! FBI! Stop, or
I'll shoot you in the back!

Hey! I don't have a gun!

- Get down!
- Okay, just don't shoot me.

We're not gonna shoot you.

Just did not feel
like chasing you today.

Looks like somebody's been
packing gettin' ready to leave.

Who you running from, Remy?

I'm just taking a little
time away that's all.

There's nothing illegal
about that, right?

No. You weren't planning on
sticking around to bury your sister?

Yeah, we know all about the
whole jewelry store robbery thing.

And the kidnapping of the
little girl and her mother.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Remy, I read your file. I talked with
your old man. I know the whole story.

You're the screw-up little brother.

And Erica well, she was the caring big
sister who always got stuck bailing you out.

Now, the problem is... Erica was just
killed during the commission of a robbery.

And if you're involved that puts
you on the hook for felony murder.

But the kidnapping...

if you're involved in that might
just land you strapped to a gurney.

Remy... listen. Talk to us.

Where are they? Where's this
mother and her little girl?

I don't know.

David, check this out.

You run a book operation?

Hey, who's your bank?

I don't work for anyone.

That's funny you know.

I never met an independent
bookie who didn't have a safe,

2 armed guards, and at least
3 dead bolts on the front door.

You don't work for anybody?

Here's all the bets he pushed through.

Oh, come on, Charlie it
couldn't have been that bad.

Actually, I truly can't
explain how awful it was.

Oh, I don't understand it. You and
Mmita-- you always got along so well.

I'm just as confused as you are.

Yeah, well, maybe it'll
be better next time?

Yeah, I don't think there's going
to be a "next time" in my future.

No, no, you do not give
up. You never give up.

Who's giving up what?

Charlie. He blew his
first date with Amita.

I wouldn't say that I... I
"blew it," dad, I mean, that's...

Yeah, maybe I blew it.

Wait, what happened, buddy?

It's just we found out that we really
don't have much to talk about...

Outside math...

Oh, man. Yeah, I know about
that. Maybe it's an Eppes thing.

When Terry and I started
dating the first thing

we said was we weren't going to talk
about work, right? You know, not a word.

So, how'd you work it out?

Well... I mean,

she's back with her ex.

That's really very encouraging.

Well, I didn't mean it like that.

I'm sorry. It's different with
you guys. You'll work it out.

Meanwhile, I'm hitting
a wall with this case.

You haven't found them yet?

Found whom?

A mother and her 8-year-old
daughter kidnapped

That's horrible.

Who took them?

I don't... we don't know yet.

I mean, we got this one suspects

who's a bookie and we think
there's some connection but

we got these files off his computer
and they're impossible to analyze.

What are you looking for in there?

Well, I mean, the people
who financed the operation.

This guy's been running bets through

a web site called "statzwire"
that dead-ends at a URL in China.

With all the money he's
pulling in and paying out

we can't tell the difference
between the backers and bettors.

Well, these abbreviations may be names and
dates but the numbers in this column here.

35-17-11, 23-17-5,
24-12-3 and a half?

I'm assuming that they're part
of some sort of odds-making

but they just appear to be
at random and they can't be.

You're right. They're not random

What are you talking about?

Where's that paper?

This weekend's football scores.

35-17-11 here. The Packers beat the
Vikings 35-17 and the spread was 11.

23-17-5. That... here, Niners in
San Diego, 5-point spread, right?

24 to 12 was the Jaguars over the Colts?

Let me see that. Three and a
half was a ridiculous spread.

I took the Jaguars and
made a hundred bucks.

What, you have a bookie?

Should I have a lawyer present?

No, I'll let you slide.

Wait a minute. If this
column is the point spread

I can use it to calculate
the ratio of winners to losers

and potentially trace the
payouts and the money flow.

A surprising amount of math
applies itself to gambling.

The most important application
at least for the bookie

is determining the point spread
which is this column right here

Now, ideally

a bookie wants to take equal amounts
of money on each side of a game.

However, sometimes one team is
obviously better than another.

He has to adjust the point spread.

He has to draw bets to the
weak side and keep the balance.

See, he keeps the balance

and he doesn't have pay the
winners out of his own pocket

They get paid with the losers' money.

So what's in it for the bookie?

The "juice."

You got it.

For every dollar lost... the
bookie takes about a dime.

With his balanced spread

he's making a 4.5% profit on
all the action he's taking.

Which means for a bettor
to simply break even

he's got to be right more than
50% the time. 52.38% of the time.

Good deal for the book not
so good for the bettors.

Now, once I figured
out the profit stream

it was fairly easy for me
to separate out the juice.

and that led me to this bank account-

The bank number puts us at
pacific world bank in Santa Nonica.

That has to be the backers.

The kidnappers?

Colby, track down the bank
manager, the president.

I don't care, just wake them
up get the name on that account.

- All right?
- Good job, Charlie.

Charlie This
list of names--

Where did you get these?

I... I took them straight
from the books themselves.

They're a list of the suspect's clients.

Why? What's wrong?

Can you put this page on the screen?

Sure can.

Now scroll down about halfway.

Stop. Right there.

Rausch, the store owner? He's one
of Remy Logan's gambling clients?

These numbers indicate he's lost
substantial amounts of money.

Well, how substantial?

$180,000.

That ties Rausch to Remy and
through remy right to the kidnappers.

Wait... Rausch is right
in the middle of all this?

Don, Rausch is in the wind.

What do you mean? What
happened to our surveillance?

They were on him and
they lost him in traffic.

Now he's not answering his cell phone.

I mean, he's waiting on the
biggest call of his life.

You know, maybe he's
already gotten the call.

No. We're monitoring his
phone and there's nothing.

Well, maybe he's got
another cell phone, right?

Call all the locals and have
them issue an alert, all right?

All right.

I got through on the account
Charlie gave us for Remy's backers.

Traced back to these 2.

Brian and Chris Reynolds. Brothers.

They cleaned out the account less than
an hour after the robbery went bad.

Cause they knew it was
only a matter of time till

we would find Remy
and connect it to them.

Oh, yeah, look at this-- these
are definitely our kidnappers.

Extortion, extortion, conspiracy...

Older one had a grade-fixing
charge while he was at SC.

Younger one's got a violent streak.

Goes back to juvie.

Any idea how we can find them?

The address on the bank account
was traced to a P.O. Box.

This little mail center in San Pedro

but the owner hasn't
seen anyone, not in weeks.

These guys could be anywhere right now.

Yeah, well.

I mean you got to figure the kid and
the mother are slowing them down, right?

Hey, look, until we find dead bodies
this is still a search-and-rescue.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Where are they?

I never seen either one of them.

Oh, no? I know you've been pushing bets

through their wire to the tune of
5 figures a week, you hear me?

We know about Martin Rausch.
We know he's your client.

I'll make it clear as possible.

We got a line between them and the
kidnapping. Know who's in the middle of it?

So if you know where these guys are
this would be the time to tell us.

I don't.

I swear I don't.

Oh, I believe you.

Look... Rausch got way behind.

Chris and Brian said if I couldn't
collect it was coming out of me.

One way or the other.

So then you got your sister
to pull the robbery for you?

No, it was supposed to be no big
deal. You just take the diamonds

and you show the picture and you
come out and I go to the parking lot.

She did what she did to
help me to save my life.

So Martin Rausch is a gambler.

Right? He's a bad one He
gets himself in debt to Remy.

Which puts Remy in
trouble with his backers.

That kind of cash. I'm surprised
that they didn't just kill Rausch.

But dead guys don't pay. Ultimately,
they just want their money.

So they find out he
owns a jewelry store...

so they kidnap his family and
make Remy pull the robbery?

It's not a bad plan.

No. It's a damn good plan.

I mean, they get their money probably
more and they can count on him

to keep his mouth shut
because of his gambling.

Only thing they didn't count
on was the security guard.

Rausch's phone records.

3 hours ago, there's a call from his wife's
cell phone to a number we don't have.

They called Rausch on her phone?

I guess.

No way to trace it
back to Reynolds, then.

The thing is, what does he
have to give them at this point?

We know he doesn't have any money.

Yeah, Martin was here a little earlier.

I told him it was silly

that he didn't need to be here
while all this was still going on.

Was he near any of the jewelry?
Could he have stolen anything?

Steal? Why would he
steal from his own store?

Was he near any of the jewelry?

No. The insurance company's locked up
all the merchandise since the robbery.

They need to do a full
inventory before we reopen.

Okay, think about it.

Is there anything else the
insurance company didn't lock?

No.

You do repairs here?

Yeah.

And they're not part of
the inventory, are they?

No.

Show us.

Oh, my God. They're... they're all gone.

How much was in here?

I don't know. If I had to
guess 50, 60,000 at the most.

That's Rausch leaving
with the repaired jewelry.

It's not even close to what he owes.

Yeah, but he's desperate, Don.

He's going to do anything he can if he
thinks it's going to save his family.

You know, there's an entrance
for the 101 south right there.

Even if we know he headed south
that's an half an hour ago.

It's not going to help us much.

Sure it is.

This is PEMS:

The freeway performance
evaluation monitoring system.

Okay? Grad students at Cal-Sci
actually consulted on this.

I ran the system.

Caltrans has sensors
embedded in the roads.

They count cars, trucks.
They monitor traffic patterns

and that information is sent to a UC
Berkley computer about twice a minute.

PEMS is designed to predict optimal
traffic routes and travel time.

but here, it can give us an idea of the
speed and movement of traffic at the time

that Rausch got on the freeway.

Projecting from that information
as well as the time elapsed...

oh, this is the part of the
S.A.T.S that kept me out of Harvard.

The train is leaving the
station at 5:00, right?

I'm applying constructal theory:
point-area and point-volume flows.

See, traffic moves like
any other fluid system.

There are imperfections
obstacles that force the system

to optimize performance by
reducing its resistance...

Now, Martin Rausch knows
this area pretty well,

and if he's like any of the rest of us
he'll reduce his resistance by choosing

the least congested route
to arrive at his destination.

Still not seeing how you
can tell us where he's at.

I can't exactly Well, at
least not yet not right now.

But what I can do...

you say this is the 101 south?

Yes

What I can do is give you a bounded area

Wait a minute. Isn't this the area

where Remy said he was supposed
to make the drop after the robbery?

Yeah.

Right. At this parking lot.

Don, that's Rausch's car.

Yeah. I see.

This is special agent
Don Eppes with the FBI.

I need LAPD to cordon
off a one block area

running south from Temple
north to second street.

Copy that

I think he's still in there.

Mr. Rausch?

What are you doing here?

They didn't bring my family back.

Just step out of the car, please.

Who didn't bring them?

I thought if I... if I at
least paid them something...

But it wasn't enough.
They... they want more.

And I haven't...I haven't got any more.

Did they show you proof
they have your family?

It's different from the jewelry
store. Different location.

I've lost them. Haven't I?

We don't know that, okay?

They call you on this?

Yes.

This is all my fault. I... it
wasn't supposed to go like this.

Hold... what are you talking about?

They were just supposed to be
held for a couple of hours...

driven around until they got the diamonds
then they said they'd let them go.

Wait a minute. Are you saying
that... that you knew all about this?

They were going to kill me.

You understand?

This was a way out. It was
a way out for all of us.

Rausch is useless. He has
no idea where they are.

I was actually starting to feel
sorry for the son of a bitch.

Yeah, he played us something.

Okay, I understand the robbery.

How do you involve your
family in a kidnapping?

Well, it's just like you said,
so we'd feel sorry for him.

It gives him deniability.

Cause no one's going to suspect a
guy whose whole family's missing.

We just counted him as another victim.

Good news is as of
about a half an hour ago

the mother and the kid
are still alive, so...

How are you so sure?

The picture was taken
at a different location.

If they were going to kill them
they wouldn't be moving them around.

Yeah, but now they know they've gotten
everything they possibly can out of Rausch.

I mean, he even tapped out his credit
cards with the whole gambling thing.

Wait a minute. That's it.

That's what?

The credit cards. Remy accepts credit
cards but he doesn't process them.

He sends them through to
the Reynolds' web site.

Yeah, but we checked the web
site and it was a dead end.

Yeah, well, I'll believe
that when Charlie hits it.

Hey, thank you for doing this.

I hope it's not too
uncomfortable for you.

Amazingly enough, it isn't.

Well, the FBI techs were right.

The route ends at a server in China.

Yeah, but...I know but
they're not in China.

And they're not accessing
the internet through China

That's their... this is just a disguise.

Disguise or not, Charlie
that's where the trail ends.

All right, all right, all right
Wait a minute. Just wait a minute.

Every time someone visits a web site,
they rewrite some of the code, don't they?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

So, can't we trace that back to
the computer that created the site?

Well, we have to have some
specific data stream to follow them.

I mean, there are hundreds maybe
thousands of visitors to this site.

But only the 2 men we're
looking for are setting odds.

Still... I mean, we need some sort
of unique data to isolate them.

Fractions. Specifically
a farey sequence.

Farey sequence...

let's say we begin slicing
oranges... a lot of oranges

But the rule is we can never
repeat a cut in other words

we cut the first orange in half
the next orange we take out a third

the next, 1/4th, then 1/5th and so on

In the end, we¡¦re left with many
orange slices of varying size

When they're arranged from smallest
to largest they form a farey sequence.

And yes, it's a fairly
esoteric pattern of fractions.

However, the one place they
often tend to show up: bookmaking.

And there's our unique data stream.

So, 1/8th is 7-to-1 odds,

1/7th is 6-to-1,
and 2/3rds is 2-to-1

Exactly.

Right. So all the fractions are betting lines.

Right. And they led us to an internet account

billed to a marine repair business in San Pedro.

Wait, you say San Pedro?

That's the same place the Reynolds'
brothers have their mail drop.

FBI!

FBI!

FBI! Hands up!

Get them up! Get those hands up!

Don't move! You, get your hands up there!

Where are they? Where are they?

I got no idea what you're talking about!

Neither does my brother.

They're not here, Don. No sign of them.

Guys, I think we may be too late.

No, we're not. We're going to check the
docks, the boats, everything. Let's go.

All right... Petey, up there.

Sam, Mikey, this way.
You guys come with me.

Hold on.

Quiet. Quiet.

I hear it. Get me something
to pry this open with.

My name is Don Eppes! I'm
with the FBI Can you hear me?

Please, hurry.

Just relax. We're coming right in.

It's okay. It's over. You
all right? Anyone hurt? No?

You all right, sweetie?

It's okay. You're going home now.

Daddy...

It's okay, sweetie. Everything's
going to be all right.

Oh, Martin, thank God.

What... what's going on?

You can tell them or I can.

Tell me what? Martin?

Julia, why don't we go get some
food and let mommy and daddy talk.

The morose and pensive expression
of the romantically confounded.

You know, it wasn't like I was
thrilled when our date bombed out

you know and I can accept the
fact that we're not compatible.

You experiment. It doesn't work,
you move on.

Yeah, a cornerstone
of scientific inquiry.

Right, but...

thing is is, like...

When we're working together
we talk and we laugh.

And there's an energy.

And I don't understand why that
doesn't work outside the office.

Why don't we have anything
else to talk about?

You know, you're making an underlying
assumption here that I question.

What's that?

That there's something
else you have to talk about.

See, where you see 2 people unable
to talk about politics or movies...

Hey, movies.

I can... I can talk about...
I just saw the Penguin movie.

I see 2 extraordinary minds

that can communicate on the purest
level a man and woman can interface on.

Okay, second purest.

Geek love.

Hey, no better kind.

First 1 to 10 points?

Larry, man, I... I play this game a lot.

Hey, I'm no stranger to the student union.

Come on-- my physics versus your geometry.
