Never met her.

Your hard drive says
you're a liar, McCall.

We've recovered e-mails,
chat room conversations --

the whole sick courtship.

You're a registered sex offender

with a appetite
for teenage girls.

( scoffs )

That's what all
the neighborhood flyers say.

( over speaker ):
You're sick, Ryan.

You need help.

Your first step is to be honest.

Honest with us.

Honest with yourself.

CHARLIE: These calculations are really
only going to give us broad suggestions,

not concrete answers.

Charlie, the clock's running,
so I'll take whatever you got.

Hey, Megan.

Hey.
How's it going?

David's hit him from
pretty much every angle,

but he's not having
any luck in there.

And the victim's still
refusing to talk,

and the files we found
on the computer

aren't enough to hold him,
never mind convict.

Physical evidence is our
only chance to put it together.

Well, there's always Charlie's
Inequality Bounding... thing.

There is always Charlie's
Inequality Bounding thing.

To examine the defined
data points...

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie...

All right, all right.

There's two dogs chained to
different corners of the backyard.

- Right.
- Now, the lengths of their chains,

as well as their
respective positions

will limit the area that
they can come into contact.

So, what, we do the same thing
with McCall and the victim?

Starting with
the known locations,

and employing the timeframes
of the attack.

We can focus our
search efforts on a...

( gunshots )

( woman screams )

Get down!

Stay down!

( single gunshot )

( another single shot )

MAN:
Down!

( gunshot )

( gunshot; glass shatters )

( multiple gunshots )

( man screams )

( gunshot )

( gunfire, bullets ricocheting )

( gunshot; glass shatters )

( gunshot )

( gunshots popping )

All right, paramedics.

Who's hit?!
Who's down?!

He's still breathing.

( sirens wailing in distance )

You all right?

- Did you get hit?
- Huh?

- Let me see.
- No. No, no!

- You sure you're okay?
- I'm okay!

MEGAN:
SWAT's mobilizing,

the paramedics are on their way,

I got two bullet wounds,
they're both minor,

and some cuts from the glass.

- That's it?
- No.

Whoever this guy is...

I think he got who he came for.

We all use math every day,

to predict weather,

to tell time,

to handle money.

Math is more than formulas
and equations.

It's logic.

It's rationality.

It's using your mind to solve the
biggest mysteries that we know.

The shooter's wallet says
his name is Alec Schane.

He's a realtor from Pasadena.

He walked in the door
and told them

he had information
about a museum robbery.

Then he met agent Labella
at the elevators,

disarmed him and put him
in a choke hold.

How's he do that,
how does he disarm an agent?

Well, all Labella could say was that
he was really fast and really strong.

And then Schane used him as a
human shield and he let off 15 rounds.

And only one fatality?

Yeah, Ryan McCall,
the predicate sex offender.

DAVID: SWAT team gave the
all-clear to reenter the building,

but Evidence Response wants a
few hours to check out the bullpen.

All right. Why don't you just
grab whatever space you can,

start working on the connection
between Schane and the sex offender.

- All right?
- Uh-huh.

Hey, Charlie. Hey.

How you doing?
You all right?

I'm fine.
I'm fine.

How is everybody?

Well, you know, I mean...

Look, all things considered,
I'd say we got off lucky.

Lucky.

He nearly killed all of us --

I don't see how you get up
and deal with this every day.

Eh, you know.
I don't get shot at every day.

Come on, I'll get you
some coffee.

No, I gotta go,
I should go back to school.

I should get some work done.

( machine beeps )

Mr. Schane?

Mr. Schane,
can you hear me?

I'd like to know
why you shot Ryan McCall.

Did he assault your daughter?

DAVID:
Mrs. Schane?

Have you ever seen
this man before?

No, I've never seen him before.

How about you, Samantha?

No?

Do you have any idea why
your husband would do this?

Well, I still don't
believe that he did.

What did he say?

He asked for a lawyer.

Then I shouldn't
talk to you either,

should I.

Mrs. Schane, your husband killed
a man inside of a federal building.

We're just trying
to understand why.

Well, I can't help you
understand what I don't!

And if he doesn't want
to cooperate with you...

I trust him.

And, so, Don and I
are simply talking...

talking about
inequality bounding.

And, uh...

and then I heard
breaking glass...

and a bullet goes past my head.

There's noise.

There's blood.

- Chaos.
- Chaos...

"Chaos" presupposes an
observable or measurable system.

A deterministic equation with an
outcome sensitive to initial conditions.

I was speaking
in the vernacular, Charles.

And, yet, you know,

we have stumbled into
a rather lofty discussion here.

Because one could argue

that violence on the human scale

is reflective of
a fundamental state,

as evident from the magnificent

collisions of subatomic
particles,

the operatic clashes
of galaxies.

Is that supposed to be
reassuring, Larry?

On the macro level,
yes, absolutely.

Though microcosmically,
perhaps not so much.

Don laughs it off like it's some
funny thing that happened at the office.

AMITA: It's a coping mechanism,
Charlie.

I mean, he sees violence daily,

so he processes it with humor.

Speaking of which,
how are you coping?

Why is...
Everyone's asking me that, why?

Because a little bit of
post-traumatic stress is natural,

if not inevitable.

And for you to return
to work this early,

- I think is...
- God, man!

Look, guys, hey,

uh, I need to concentrate
on this.

So, can you guys, uh...

Yeah. Okay.

Of course.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Listen, Charlie,

- if you want to talk...
- Yes, your concern

is appreciated;
it really is.

I just...
allow me to work.

Please.

( sighs )

No.

If Schane knew McCall,
there's no public record of it.

What about the daughter?

She didn't react to his picture.

And there's no Internet contact --
McCall's usual M.O.

COLBY: I'm starting to think it
might be something entirely different.

Just an attack against the FBI.

DAVID:
He's chairman of his PTA.

You couldn't find a more typical
suburban dad than Alec Schane.

Yeah, but there's
no record of depression,

and there's no sudden
changes of behavior at work.

All right, that's what
he doesn't have, so...

Well, I can tell you what he does
have is some serious technique.

DAVID:
Yeah, he's fast.

I pulled that move straight
from the Quantico playbook.

Yeah, and he countered with
a flawlessly executed leg shoot.

I mean, that's a classic
self-defense move.

Yeah, he's obviously got
some martial-arts training.

DON: Well, that's some
serious training.

Come in here with the confidence
to disarm an agent?

( Fighters giving
martial-arts yells )

Well, Alec Schane was
a student here.

What is this about?

It's about a savate kick.

A savate kick followed by
a Hadaka-jime combination.

Koketsu is the only discipline
that teaches this combination,

and yours is the only
Koketsu dojo in the county.

Sensei.

Where'd you study?

I teach Krav Maga at the Y.

And I've seen your
exhibitions on self-defense.

Alec Schane.

Brown belt in less
than three years.

What happened?

He disarmed a federal agent
and shot three people,

one fatally.

Apparently, using techniques
that he learned here.

Alec isn't just a good fighter,

he's a dedicated member
of the dojo.

He brings a positive attitude
to every class.

And have you seen any change
in that attitude of late?

There was a problem with Kurt.

Who's Kurt?

Older guy,

came in for a few classes,
then dropped out.

The two of them seemed
friendly at first,

but after a week,

Alec went cold, hostile even.

I suspect that that's why
Kurt stopped showing up.

Do you happen to remember if they'd
done any work on this combination?

A lot.

Kurt signed up specifically
to learn disarming techniques.

Do you have an address
on this guy,

from a credit card
receipt maybe?

Let me check my files.

- Excuse me.
- Thank you.

Krav Maga at the Y?

Okay, you know, you're
going to arrest people

that are a hundred pounds
heavier than you,

you're going to need
to learn some hobbies.

You know,
if he's been rehearsing

this combination
with this Kurt guy...

That means there's another
person out there

who's capable of launching
a second attack.

Maybe a bigger attack.

COLBY: This sketch is based on
the jujitsu instructor's

best description of Kurt.

About 180 pounds, slight accent,
maybe German, maybe Dutch.

He didn't seem to know.

Because of the possibility that he
might be planning a similar attack,

we have every law enforcement agency
in Southern California on high alert.

I see in your notes
Kurt Weiland was a bogus name

and the address
he gave the dojo.

DAVID: Schane's out of
critical condition,

but he's still refusing to talk.

You know, if McCall had sexually
abused someone close to Schane,

I think he'd be talking to us

or talking to the
press, you know?

He'd be throwing out
a justification for his actions.

You know, he spent two weeks

teaching these same techniques
to somebody else.

I don't think McCall
was the target.

All right, guys, look.

Ballistics just matched the
bullet that killed McCall...

...to your gun.

Yeah, exactly.

So ASC wants you on
restricted duty until they can get

the shooting team to take
a look at this. I'm sorry...

DAVID: Don, it's obviously
an accident --

a ricochet or something.

Bullets were flying
all over the place.

It's all right, it's all right.

Restricted duty.

Just means no field duty
until they can clear you --

do a psychiatric review,
that sort of thing.

And you know, a psychiatric
review is totally standard procedure.

You do this long enough,
we've all been through one.

DON: Exactly. You should
take advantage.

Take a few days off,
go surfing, whatever.

All right, look, guys,

I appreciate it;
thank you.

But if this guy's
still out here,

he may be planning
another attack --

I'm going to be here.

You need everybody on this case.

I'll be on my desk.
I'm not going anywhere.

DON:
We're going with the assumption

that this Kurt
is planning another attack.

I know, but, look,

this one, I just don't see
how my math can help you.

That's the thing: we gotta
make sense of the first one.

We get Schane's motive, maybe that'll
tell us something about Kurt, right?

You remember that work
you did with paths?

What, combinatorial
optimization?

LARRY: Sure, there's minimum
spanning tree,

the traveling salesman problem.

Neither of which
are applicable to this analysis.

Well, how about applying weights
to the potential victims?

Right, like what you did

with the threat analysis
but in reverse.

See if we can figure out
who the intended target was.

If there was a target at all.

Larry, come over here.

Tell me, does the shooter's path

look Brownian to you?

Well, Stochastic, sure,

Markovian, maybe,

but Brownian?
Let me see.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
I do see this.

See what? What?

Picture a pool table...

with a cueball
in constant motion.

The cueball -- our shooter --
is following a straight path

until it hits an obstacle --

another ball
or a boundary, the rail.

And then it sets off
in a new straight path,

until it hits another obstacle.

The table is the office,
the ball is the people in it?

Yeah, a Brownian path
would indicate an initially

random direction followed by
random direction change,

which means he wasn't moving
toward any particular point.

CHARLIE:
Or shooting at

any particular person.

In fact, inflicting injury might
not have even been his intention.

If I can examine the diffusion,

I may be able to shed
light on his motive.

We got the war room
up and running again.

You can look at the security footage.
How's that?

I can't go downtown.

Not now.

I... I'm in between classes
and my cognitive emergence work.

Charlie, we're talking
about another attack.

Don, you're not listening.

I'm saying I can
work on your case, okay?

I can work here, and
I can work at home.

And... anything you have,
send it to me.

He doesn't seem good, huh?

Well, protests to the contrary,

yesterday's events seem to have
affected his demeanor.

Yeah, well, a bullet misses you
by that little,

you get a new look
inside your own head.

Look, I understand.

I just think you need to acknowledge
the emotional impact of that.

Yeah.

He'll be all right.

Right?

COLBY: I had this screen-capture
enhanced.

Schane may not have liked Kurt,

but that's exactly who drove him
the morning of the attack.

Had his I.D. confirmed
by the jujitsu instructor.

And the plates
on the car came back

to a Motorco rental car company,

stolen off the lot
two hours before.

He didn't even
change the plates?

Knew it wouldn't show up
on the hot sheets in time?

Put out an APB,
hope we'll get lucky.

Gets more done at his desk
than the entire FBI.

( chuckles )

Anyway, that facial recognition
software came up with nothing,

so I'm going to go out wide
to local law enforcement,

see if we can't get
an I.D. on this guy.

He's taking it pretty hard.

We all know
he's going to get cleared.

He has had a pretty bad day.

And I think, all in all,
he's hanging pretty tough.

I remember buying those.

Little did I suspect that it would
take you 20 years to play with them.

I can't make sense of this path,

so I figured
reconstructing the office

with a three-dimensional model
might jog some thoughts.

Well, why don't you
just go down there?

You haven't said much
about what happened.

Well...

Well, you didn't seem
to want to talk about it.

I don't.

Figured that you might want to.

Figured that you'd be...

What? Upset? Angry?

Freaked out.

Well, no, I was,
um, um, uh, relieved.

Yeah, yeah, I was freaked out.

I was looking right at him.

I gotta tell you,

I don't think I knew what
being scared was before that.

You know, fear is a very
practical feeling, Charlie.

It's, um...

well, it's mostly common sense,

telling you not to poke
the alligator with the stick.

I know this kind of thing
happening again is improbable,

but just the thought
of going back to Don's office

just puts knots in my stomach.

And I realize

the only thing
I'm really afraid of

is being afraid again.

Hey, Charlie.

Do you remember Sam Tichell?

How could I forget him?

He terrorized me through
the whole third grade,

and I had to wait
for Don every day,

to walk home from school.

Yeah.

And the one time
Don didn't walk you home...

I got into a fight
with Sam Tichell...

right in the Meyers' front yard.

I know; I was standing
at the window watching.

I saw him knock you down
from behind.

I didn't come outside
to help you.

Yeah, you did.

You broke us up.

Eventually, but not right away.

See, Charlie,
you were always so loved,

you were always so protected.

It was at that moment
that I wanted you to understand

that the world was not always
going to be a safe place.

I came outside to help you only
when you started to fight back.

Because that's when I knew
that you had enough heart

to take whatever
life was going to throw at you.

DAVID: What's the first thing a
New Yorker notices about L.A.?

MEGAN:
No good pizza.

Okay, the second thing.

Everyone drives everywhere.

You're gonna steal a car
out of a rental lot,

how you gonna get there?

Drive your own car,
park it somewhere nearby?

You can't take the bus or a cab,

'cause somebody
might remember you.

When you're done with that car,

where you gonna dump it?

Somewhere close
to where you parked.

MEGAN:
Wait a minute.

Do you see something up there?

Yes, I do.

We won't find Kurt's
prints on that car.

You know, I'm getting
the feeling that this guy

isn't just following
some soccer dad's lead.

More like the mastermind
behind the scene,

two steps ahead of us.

Yeah, only he knows where
this is going and we don't.

COLBY: Just got the crime scene
reports back on the torched car.

- Yeah? Anything?
- No, nothing.

We don't catch a break soon,
the next time we see Kurt

is gonna be the next
time he decides to attack.

This is forensics on McCall.

The bullet that killed him had
Schane's blood and tissue on it.

It went through his shoulder,
the window,

and landed in McCall's skull,

so you got nothing to worry
about with the shooting team.

It's gonna be a walk.

All right. Well, how long till I'm
back in the field, do you think?

Like a week, maybe two.

Yeah.

I don't know why it sounded
better when I heard it, but...

A man's dead, Don.

Colby, you cleared
your line of fire.

You took a good shot --
the bullet took a bad bounce.

Now, come on, there's nothing
you can do about that.

It's not your fault.

Yeah, I know, it might
not be my fault, Don,

but it's still my bullet.

Your dad says you've
been in here all night.

I was sure that the shooter's
path was... was Brownian...

...that the pure
randomness would...

would somehow tell me something
about Schane's actions.

Something isn't right.

I tried using
a loop-erased random walk,

tinkered with
a Langevin Equation,

and still,
there's a disparity there,

telling me something that maybe
this isn't Brownian motion,

that maybe there's a corruption
in the data; I don't know.

At the Jaipur Observatory,

they have these huge,
magnificent sundials,

and they're so accurate,

they were used to set
standard time until the 1940s.

Now India's standard time is set
by the Allahabad Observatory.

Do you know why?

I'm assuming because Allahabad
is more accurate.

No.

In order to keep all of India
in the same time zone,

they have to split
the difference between the east

and west halves of the country.

And Allahabad is exactly
five and a half hours

off of Greenwich Mean Time.

I see that your metaphors
are starting to sound

a lot like Larry's metaphors.

The Jaipur sundials
aren't wrong, Charlie.

The sun and the moon still move
through the sky the same way.

You see, people have changed
their perspectives on time, Charlie.

I think what Amita's telling you

is to take a step
back from your problem,

try a new perspective.

Or a new dimension.

ALAN: Oh, now, there's
a toy I remember.

- Tessa...
- It's a tesseract.

A four-dimensional hypercube.

Could be why I bought
those soldiers.

Those I can understand.

A square on a chalkboard

represents two dimensions:

an x and y axis.

You add a third dimension,

a z-axis...

You get a cube.

See, I do have a passing
familiarity with geometry.

Right, but
three-dimensional objects exist

in a fourth dimension:
in time,

so if we add a fourth
dimension to the cube,

just like we added a third
dimension to the square,

we get a tesseract, but this
isn't really a tesseract,

just like that
isn't really a cube.

See, my mistake was that I took
a two-dimensional mapping data,

and brought it
into the third dimension.

I'm... I'm still short
one dimension.

You mean time?

I need to see a picture

of a man's movements
through real time.

I'll have to go back to the FBI.

( elevator bell dings )

- ( woman screams )
- ( gunshot echoes )

Hey, guys.

How we doing?

Hey.

Charlie?

Oh, yeah, they must have
brought those out here.

We'll get you
another one, all right?

Everything all right?

We're going to need
the surveillance footage,

some tripods,

a laser pointer,

and we're gonna need string.

String?

Lots of string.

♪♪

AMITA: This is a four-dimensional
modeling program.

It's used to analyze
weather patterns,

geographical surveys,
even factory efficiency.

And this is Schane's journey
through the office.

And when we render it over time,

the flaw becomes apparent.

What do you mean, "flaw"?

Well, up until this point...

And after this point...

His movements are reactive,
but here -- here -- they aren't.

So, what, you saying
he found a target?

The opposite.

Don,

remember when I compared
Brownian motion

to a cue ball ricocheting
across a pool table?

It's as if the cue ball saw that
it was about to hit the eight ball

and stopped dead in its tracks
and turned around.

Schane pulled a 180.

The only time he retraced
his steps.

So what backed him off?

Roughly? This workspace.

More specifically,

I believe he was avoiding
one or both of these people,

making a very specific effort

not to shoot at them.

COLBY:
John DeVries and Dave Taggart.

They're both GS-7
intelligence assistants.

Criminal data entry and analysis,
both with top-secret clearance.

There's no connections
to Schane yet,

but I'm still digging.

All right, well,
get their computers stripped,

put them in the rooms,
all right?

Yeah, I got DeVries in One.

Taggart called in sick
after the shooting.

What do you mean,
"called in sick"?

Get him in here -- I don't care.

I got Megan and Dave on their
way to pick him up right now.

Heard the Agent Shooting
Team is going to clear Colby.

I heard the same.

How come everyone seems
happy about it but him?

I've never seen him
shut down like that before.

You know, it may not
be about this shooting.

Sometimes, intense
events can open up

all kinds of other doors.

Looks like somebody got up early
and packed for a trip.

Looks like someone
saw us coming, too.

It's still warm.

MEGAN:
When you were a kid,

were you the worst at
hide-and-go-seek ever?

COLBY: DeVries is
checking out clean,

but Taggart, on the other hand,
seems to have had a reason to run.

He's got a second bank
account in Wichita Falls.

He's had deposits of $10,
$20 and $50,000 over the last four months.

So what, he's being paid off?

What does 80 grand get him?

Well, check this out -- Taggart's
been using our databases

to access personal information
about Schane's family.

He gets the wife's DMV file,

his daughter's school schedule

he's even been pulling photos off
the LAPD public surveillance cams.

This must be why a real
estate agent from Pasadena

ends up attacking an FBI office.

Yeah, also backs up Charlie's thing
about him changing direction, right?

He shoots Taggart,
Kurt kills his family.

Why make him attack us
to begin with?

Victor Meuller.

He's an arms dealer,

on trial for selling
decommissioned

Soviet tanks and fighter jets
to the wrong countries.

"On trial," as in
it already started?

Two weeks ago, and it's expected
to go least three months.

Taggart's computer logs
show him fishing

through Meuller's case files
on three separate occasions,

then downloading what
he found to a flash drive

on the morning of the shooting.

The techs say the data theft

wouldn't have even showed up
for weeks or months,

if they hadn't
been looking for it.

Victor Meuller -- he's on trial,

knows he's going to jail,

so he needs the names and
addresses of the witnesses against him.

And you were willing
to sell a hit list for money.

COLBY: I don't know what rock
he turned over, but he found you.

Now, the problem is, you got
no way to get the case file out.

No way past the screeners.

Unless there's an emergency
evacuation of this building,

like if some crazy son of a bitch
goes on a shooting rampage.

I don't have to answer
any of your questions.

Then don't,

because the computer trail is more
than enough to convict you as is.

The real question is,

how much of forever
you want to spend in jail.

Tell us about Kurt.

He's a freelance hitter Meuller
brought over from Europe.

So how did the two of you
find Schane?

Kurt cruised
the self-defense schools,

looking for someone random,

untraceable.

Schane stood out: big, fast.

Good enough to disarm
an FBI agent.

Dave, you threatened
to murder his family.

That was Kurt -- the things he
said he'd do to Schane's family,

made me sick.

I want you to tell us what
witness he's after next.

And where do we find him?

Even if I knew,
I wouldn't tell you.

I have family, too.

Interpol just I.D.'d
the picture.

His real name --
believe it or not -- is Kurt.

Kurt De Lock.

South African Special Forces,
451st Parachute Batallion.

Yeah, he's suspected
of doing wet work

for the secret police
during apartheid.

- He's wanted in five countries.
- Six.

We have extra security
on the courthouse

and on everyone connected
to the Meuller trial.

And two witnesses have
been moved to new safe houses.

Eh, it's too defensive, no --
I mean, this guy's too good.

We got to take the game to him,
I think.

I mean, we'd better be anticipating
what he's going to do next.

CHARLIE:
You guys ever notice

how a criminal trial exhibits
self-organized criticality?

Self-organized criticality

describes the ability
of multi-body systems

to manifest complex behavior --

so forest fires, earthquakes,
financial markets.

All right, picture
a pile of sand.

As more sand falls
onto the pile,

let's say a grain at a time,

the grains come to rest
at a landing position.

As the slope
of the pile steepens,

the pile reaches
what we call a critical state,

a state in which,
if a single grain of sand

falls onto the pile
in the right position,

you can create an avalanche.

It's actually got a name.

It's called the
Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld Sandpile.

Kurt doesn't need to kill every
witness to collapse this case,

just the key one or two.

- You have that Meuller file?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, how do we find this grain
of sand you're talking about?

We apply values to
components of the case --

significance of the witness

or vulnerability.

Hang on a second --
Agent Matt Pribitech, all right?

This case against Meuller
started with a sting in Belgrave --

a phony missile buy.

Pribitech was the undercover.

He was the key to this case --
he's in so deep,

he's testifying in closed court.

Which would explain why Kurt
needed the file -- to I.D. him.

Without performing an initial
analysis, Pribitech...?

...sounds like
a likely candidate to me.

Pribitech's in the air right
now, on his way from Prague.

He's scheduled to testify
at the end of the week.

All right, I'm gonna call
the airport.

Why don't you and David
meet him at the gate?

Yeah.

That's him.

What's he doing?

He doesn't know he's been
compromised.

Maybe he's just being careful.

I think that's your department.

Yeah.

Why don't you guys
wear billboards?

Your cover's been blown, Matt.

You think I don't know that?

Kurt's got my family.

Dave Taggart is under arrest.

Every cop in the county has
Kurt De Lock's photograph.

I know they threatened
your family.

You have a duress
defense for the attack,

but it's not going to get you
very far if you don't help us out.

We can put your family
in protective custody,

but we're not going
to lie to you, Alec:

the only way they're truly safe
is if we find Kurt.

He showed me pictures
of Trish and Sam,

told me what he'll do to them
if I didn't...

De Lock is threatening
another man's family now --

another wife,

and two kids,

only this time, he went
and kidnapped them.

He's going to do to that family

what he threatened to do to
yours if you don't help me out.

There's a trailer.

Out in Needles.

He made me go out there
to meet him a few times.

( phone rings )

Pribitech.

KURT: You are going to change
your testimony,

do you understand?

When Victor Meuller
is acquitted,

your family goes home.

- If not...
- I need to talk to them first.

Soon enough.

Now, take down
these directions, Agent.

DAVID: Yep, there's the trailer,
right where he said it would be.

Three heat signatures,

all stationary.

All right, so mother,
daughter, son, right?

How are we doing on SWAT?

I told them to stay back

till we knew
what we were dealing with.

( phone vibrates )

Eppes.

All right, Kurt just called
Pribitech with directions.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why let Pribitech see his family
before he changes his testimony?

Because he's planning to kill
them all at the same time.

There's got to be hundreds of
pounds of fertilizer at that trailer.

Let me see.

Oh, yeah, that's an oil bomb.

You think McVeigh,
Oklahoma City.

Did we get a trace?

COLBY ( on phone ):
Don, it's a cell phone.

We have it triangulated down
to one of two towers,

right in your backyard.

I'm going.

Hang on a second, Don.

Hang on,
you're not going anywhere.

If you show up there,
he's going to kill you

and your family with you.

But if De Lock's
watching the trailer...

I know,
we can't approach, right?

How long for a helicopter,
you think?

Half an hour, at least.

Can you, uh, can you access
a satellite image of the area?

Through DOD, but it's going
to be ten or 15 minutes old.

That's fine.

Okay, the cell phone towers
are where?

Here and here.

Okay, where's Don?

He's right about here.

And the blast radius of
a 50-pound ammonium nitrate bomb

is about like this,

which leaves us a
safety zone right there.

PRIBITECH:
What are you doing?

Among other things,
trying to find a projection

of affine three-space
onto the sphere

subject to some open
constraints.

Assuming that he can't see Don,
but he can see the trailer.

Don,

there's a dirt road
leading to a rise

about half a mile
southeast of where you are.

You're going to find him
somewhere along there.

All right, guys, let's move out.

Let me see these.

All right, guys, let's do it.

They tell me there's
a dirt road back there.

If you stay small, I don't think
they'll see you.

All right, be careful.

I got a cell phone
activated trigger.

There's no sign of a
pressure plate or a trip wire.

Let me know
when you're in position.

DON:
I'm ready.

We're going in.

( phone rings )

COLBY:
This is the FBI.

Don't move.
Don't move an inch.

Put the phone down.

( tires squealing )

DON:
Put it down. Now.

One button
and the trailer blows up.

I pull this trigger,
your head blows up.

Keep your hands
where I can see them.

Back up toward my voice.

COLBY: The Northern Alliance
was already in Kandahar.

The Taliban was running
this rear guard action

out of the Shahi-Kot Mountains.

There were just caves
and bunkers everywhere.

Seemed like every night

these guys would come out
and just pound us with RPGs.

So, finally, one night, we
decided to cut them off

and set up an ambush
in between the base camp

and the pass where they would
go up into the mountains.

No one realized the SAS was
already up there working that area,

and by the time
they put together our ambush

with their call for help,

there were already
two British soldiers dead.

That doesn't make it your fault.

Then or now.

I know. I know.

( inhales )

We never found out whose bullets
killed our guys up there.

I guess I just made my peace
with not knowing.

They give you your discharge,

send you home,

you go back to your own life, and...

( sighs )

you know,
you just think the war is over.

But, man,
it's just always inside of you,

just waiting to come out
when something reminds you.

So what are you going to do?

Guess that depends on how many
more beers we got in that bag.

Enough.

Hey.

Where the hell did Evidence
Response put the sugar?

I don't know.

Some week.

Yeah. I-I'm cool
until everything quiets down.

Then it's like, my head
is a bad neighborhood to be in.

Hey.

Did you know

that if you bend
a piece of spaghetti,

it'll always break
into three or more pieces?

No, Charlie, I can't say I do.

Richard Feynman and Danny Hillis

spent an entire night
bending spaghetti.

Took them 20 years to figure out

why you cannot break spaghetti
in half.

And why is that?

Fragmentation theory.

Math stuff.

What's your point?

Not every story has a point.

Sometimes you just
bend spaghetti

to watch it break.

- Oh, yeah, look at that.
- Right?

Hi, Alan.

Looks like the office
is almost back to normal.

Yeah, we're getting there now.

Who are you looking for,
Don or Charlie?

Oh, I was just in the area,

and I was, uh,
was going to check on, um...

Wait, I did it.

That's not bending it.

You snapped it.
It's not bending.

Actually, I would, uh,

I was going to see if
you'd had dinner yet.

I was just thinking about some
leftover dim sum in my refrigerator.

Oh, really? I think we can
do better than that.

Really?
Should we get the boys?

You know what?

They look fine where they are.

DON:
What about fettuccine?

It works with any pasta.

- Linguini?
- Oh, I'm sure linguini...

What about the thick spaghetti?
