DISPATCHER:
Code Six, body of a dead female

at a construction site
off of Hill Street.

REPORTER: No breakthroughs yet
in the brutal series of rapes

that have rocked
the Southland...

So, who we dealing with here?

It's the first rape
victim he's killed.

Her name's Rachel Abbott.

29 years old;
waitress.

Roommate filed
a missing persons two days ago.

And the new guy's here...

the one the new assistant
director assigned?

Don... David Sinclair.

Homicide says she called
her job to report car trouble.

Said she was going
to phone Triple-A.

Triple-A has no record
of that call.

- Here you go, sir.
- Thanks.

No wounds
or ligature marks.

She probably suffocated.

Lividity shows she was dead
when the body was moved here.

TECHNICIAN:
The burn was made

with the same implement used
on the 12 previous rape victims.

Metal, heated to 300 degrees

and pressed into the skin
for about three seconds.

Rape isn't enough of an assault
for this guy?

He has to burn them?

Branding asserts
his possession --

like the women belong to him.

As the psych expert, tell me:
after 12 rapes,

why did he decide
to kill Rachel Abbott?

Death is permanent possession;

murder the ultimate act
of ownership.

The violence has escalated
with each attack.

He's been working up to this.

MAN: He used something to cover her face,
causing asphyxiation.

Like duct tape...
or a bag?

No tape marks,

so I'd say
an airtight substance,

maybe a plastic bag.

The marks on her wrists
are from thin gauge rope.

The severe abrasions
occurred shortly before death.

She fought harder when she
realized she couldn't breathe.

( phones ringing )

WOMAN: Federal Bureau
of Investigation.

WOMAN 2: I have information
about the rapist...

MAN: ...middle school, two miles
from where he attacked...

WOMAN: Federal Bureau
of Investigation...

REPORTER: Still no leads in
the hunt for the L.A. rapist...

ANCHORMAN:
...brutal series of rapes

( screaming )
- that have rocked the Southland...

CHARLIE: We all use math
every day... every day...

to forecast weather...

to tell time...

to handle money...
to handle money...

We also use math
to analyze crime...

analyze crime...

reveal patterns...
reveal patterns...

predict behavior...
behavior.

Using numbers, we can solve
the biggest mysteries we know.

DON: The dead girl's car --
we need to find it.

If she was attacked
where it broke down,

we do have a shot
at some forensics.

1981 Honda Civic, blue.

California plate,
2-B-A-I-triple-2.

All regional agencies
are looking for it.

DON:
Let's get on that.

Thanks.

David, I want you to oversee
the search for that car.

All right.

Terry...

We need to go talk
to Karen Silber again.

Why Karen Silber?

That's victim number 12.

There were inconsistencies
in her statement.

I'll get my stuff.

You get on that car.

He'll be talking to Merrick
before we're out of the parking lot.

It's a major case;
the Assistant Director

needs to know he's getting
the facts without spin, so...

Don, in the ten years
I've known you,

you've never given anybody spin.

Even when you should have.

I'm just happy for the help.

We can use it.

I'm sorry we have to ask
these questions again

but you understand,
the case has changed,

right?

Did he talk about having
watched you

as if he knew your routine?

He didn't say.

His attitude was like

I didn't have an existence

outside of what
he was doing to me.

You were just trying
to get through each moment.

And I know
you couldn't see him...

He taped my eyes shut.

Maybe you remember his hands.

Were they rough?

Were they callused?

No, but

they were strong.

And cigarettes...

His hands smelled
like he smoked.

That's something you
hadn't told us before.

How about we go over the moments
right before it happened,

just to see if we can pin down
the time any better.

I don't remember that part.

I've tried, but I can't.

Please... I'm getting married
next month.

My fiancé --

can you imagine
how this has been for him?

For both of us?

Karen... help me stop this guy.

The brand...

the four crosses...

Did he say anything that would
indicate its significance or meaning?

No.

Look, if I knew anything
that would help,

don't you think I'd tell you?

( clearing throat )

Director Merrick...

Agent Sinclair's catching me up
on the case.

Sure.

You get anything
from Karen Silber?

Eh, she's still holding
something back,

but we're working on her.

What about these tips?

There's over 20,000
calls and e-mails.

We're halfway through,
get another 200 every day.

What about finding the car?

We're on it.

Good.

Got anything?

Merrick's just threatened by you
because you ran your own office.

He needs to feel like
he's contributing ideas.

He's doing his job,

making sure
I haven't missed anything.

Have I missed anything?

No... except several days' worth
of sleep.

We got to break some kind
of lead on this,

and I have no idea
where that's going to come from.

♪ I know of a place ♪

♪ Beyond forever ♪

♪ I think that
we're on the verge of ♪

♪ The future is now ♪

♪ We're ready to run ♪

♪ Let's break it down,
we found it... ♪

( driving rock continues )

( crowd cheering )

21.07 seconds,
68.3 miles per hour.

No one would ever guess
you don't have a driver's license.

MIT and Stanford
can't touch that.

Professor Charles Edward Eppes.

It's Larry.
Uh, give me a hand.

So this is what distracts
you from helping me,

your friend, your colleague,
win the Nobel Prize

for my 11-dimensional
supergravity theory?

Well, in a way, this project
is related to your theory.

This go-cart?

CHARLIE:
Go-cart?!

This isn't a go-cart.

This is an extreme
gravity vehicle.

Its shape will help
inform the next generation

of high-performance automobiles.

Okay, hooray for
making things go faster,

but I fail to see
how this will provide me

the necessary mathematical
breakthroughs I need

to redefine the fabric
of the cosmos.

You know, some physicists
do their own math.

Ed Witten, Richard Feynman.

Hurtful.

I actually knew Feynman.

I actually think of him often.

You know, here's a discussion:

Why is it that we remember
the past and not the future?

That's a tough one, Larry.

Look, I'll have time on Monday.

I'll run through
some equations for you.

MAN:
Donny!

Brisket. Must be Friday.

What's up?

I didn't have time
to drive home.

Can I catch a shower here,
maybe borrow a clean shirt?

Yeah, sure, be my guest.

And tell your brother
to come down for dinner.

- All right.
- You want some? There's plenty.

No, I can't.
I got to get back to work.

Hey, what's going on?
What are you doing here?

Just making sure you don't take
complete and total advantage of Dad.

Are you kidding?

He wouldn't know
what to do without me.

( sighs )

Charlie, what do you
think you're doing?

Crime scenes...

- What kind of crimes?
- Get away from here.

These are confidential
case files.

He just looked at the map.

I made sure he didn't
go through anything else.

Good.

13 crime scenes spread
over a contained region.

You guys are analyzing the
significance of those locations?

Yeah, it's called
predictive analysis.

The FBI pioneered it.

I trained in it at Quantico,

and it doesn't work
on sado-serial crimes.

There's no way to predict
the location of the next attack.

You know, I helped you out
on that stock fraud mess,

and the IRS extortion case.

Yeah. This is different.
It's not about numbers.

Everything is numbers.

Don. Hey.

Um, can I show you
something really quick?

- No, Charlie, I got to get...
- I know, I know.

I know. Just come with me.

Hear me out.
Hear me out. Come here.

Check this out.

You see the sprinkler, yeah?

Yeah, I see the sprinkler.

You see the drops?

Yep.
See the drops.

Even using math,

there's no practical
way to predict

where the next
water drop will land.

There's too many variables.

However, say I couldn't
see the sprinkler.

From the pattern of the drops,

I could calculate
its precise location.

It's not about predicting
the next site.

It's finding what
the sites have in common.

The point of origin.

Charlie, you're saying you can
tell us where the killer lives?

Yeah.

DON: The movements of a serial
perpetrator are defined by his needs.

He watches potential victims.

Avoiding detection,

he'll frequent public areas,
parks,

streets that don't get
a lot of traffic,

waiting for moments
of isolation.

CHARLIE: Isolated areas,
high probability of attacks.

ALAN:
TV distracting you?

I could turn it off.

No, it's fine, Dad.

What else?
What else?

Serial offenders cover
a wide region,

but rarely commit crimes
near their homes.

It's a "buffer zone."

Early in a cycle, buffer
zones will vary in size,

but as the cycle matures,
they tend to stabilize.

These guys follow patterns.

Exactly. There's also
"distance decay."

The more intensity the
attacker feels about a crime,

the further he will
travel to commit it.

You don't want to look at those.

How do you gauge "intensity"?

By the nature and extent
of the injuries,

the length of each abduction,

adherence to
ritualized behavior.

I've listed the incidents
by estimated intensity.

Oh, great.

This'll give me enough to start
putting together some expressions.

Just give me a minute.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

Who's up?

ALAN:
Shawn Green.

Green -- four games
without a hit.

He's due.

There's no statistical evidence
for a batter being "due."

I say he gets a high fastball,
he smacks it out of the park.

This is a tape
of yesterday's game.

I know. I read
the box score.

ANNOUNCER:
Three and one the count.

A high fastball.

Oh! Oh!

Wow!

Hey, you know,
that was an anomaly.

Something like that, Charlie.

( Alan chuckles )

Shut up, Dad.

TERRY:
What you're talking about

is a completely new way
of identifying a perpetrator.

Exactly.

Not who he is, but where he is.

The question is,
will it be accurate,

and identify
a small enough area.

- Morning, Thomas.
- You think Charlie can do it?

He can be a pain in the ass,

but he is a world-class
mathematician.

If it works, we have
a whole new system

for analyzing
and investigating serial crime.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

TERRY:
Wow, that's impressive.

Agent Eppes, the dead girl,
Rachel Abbott?

What do you got?

Microscopic particles
of fungal matter

were found
in the victim's lungs,

inhaled shortly before death.

Identified as black truffles.

The kind you cook with.

So maybe the bag
he put over her head

is the one he bought them with.

There's some 200 places
you can find

black truffles in this area.

Plus more on the Internet.

I'll, uh, I'll get on it.

No car yet?

Not yet.

Look, I know you've got a job
to do for the Assistant Director,

but there's a guy out there
who's attacking women.

I need to know
where your priorities are.

Sir, my first priority
is to assist you on this case.

I've notified every jurisdiction

from San Diego to Seattle.

This car is not turning up.

All right.

Listen up, everybody.

We need to piece together
Rachel Abbott's last day.

Where was she?

Where was she going?

If she was having car trouble,

maybe she was on the way
to a repair shop.

Did she go to a movie?
Was she shopping?

Call all the parking facilities,

deal with the people
on the premises.

Did she break down on a freeway

or a surface street?

Ask CHP about abandoned
vehicles.

I know you've done some
of this, but do it all,

and then do it over again,
please.

DON: Early in the cycle,
buffer zones vary,

but as the cycle matures,
they tend to stabilize.

He watches potential victims

waiting for moments
of isolation.

It's Monday.

It's 2:45 in the afternoon.

Monday. After lunch.

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

( tires screech )

( grunts )

All right.

Sorry. I was busy working
on something.

I know I'm supposed to be going
through some equations for you.

Yes. I wondered
if I'd gotten the time wrong.

Or the place.
Or quite possibly the dimension.

No, I'm developing an
application for the FBI.

You know what?

You actually might
be able to help me.

The problem involves
finding an origin point

from evidence provided
by scattered effects.

Somehow I doubt
we're talking about

orbital paths and black holes.

Not exactly, no.

Evariste Galois.

Brilliant young mathematician
not unlike yourself,

tackling the hardest problems
in his day.

But he got distracted,

He got caught up in politics
and romance.

I know where you're going
with this.

And at the age of 20,
he was killed in a duel.

And who even knows
what he might've accomplished?

I would say I'm actually
pretty good at avoiding duels.

Charlie, what I'm trying
to say is

you are almost 30 years old.

You're at your peak
as a mathematician.

Many mathematicians
do their best work

in a very short time period,
maybe five to eight years.

Hey, forget about me,

forget about my
supergravity theory.

You have abilities.

You could be helping
define the nature of reality.

All I'm asking is
that you just consider

how you spend
what time you have.

( elevator bell dings )

Actually, it's this
way over here. Hi.

It's all right.
You all right?

Hi. All right.

Amita, could you put the first
map right up here, please?

Hi.

Here you go.
I'll help you with that.

- Thanks.
- How you doing?

Good. Nice to see you again.

Okay, this map was generated
by an equation.

Charlie, don't erase that.

No, it's okay.
It's an old case.

I'm writing the equation here
in abbreviated form.

I've pinpointed the area
most likely

to be the perpetrator's
residence.

You got the guy's address?

Not the address? No.

An approximate base.

Um, okay, I'm using some
of the same techniques

that physicists use
to find black holes,

which can't be detected
in any way

other than the effect that they
have on objects around them.

Black holes?

Walt, he based his work on FBI
theories of serial crime.

Okay, professor.

Why don't you just
walk us through it?

Amita, can you put up
the enlarged version?

The first point, really,
to take into account

is that, when picking places
to attack a victim

or dump a body,
the perpetrator will

choose sites that appear
to be selected at random.

He doesn't want you

to make any conclusions
about where he lives,

what areas he frequents.

Right.

You know what?

Let's do an elementary
demonstration, okay?

So can you help me
just move this back?

And let's slide
this over to there.

Can you five -- one, two, three,

four and five
please come up here?

You know what?
You guys, too.

Just, uh, please, distribute
yourselves randomly

across this area right here.

How's this?

You mean, spread out?

Like this?

That's exactly right.

But look what you've done.

You have distributed yourselves
at equal intervals.

While true random patterns
will include clusters.

We're spaced too evenly.

Exactly.
It's pretty difficult

to consciously pick
a random sequence.

Your target tried.

But like you,

he wound up
with roughly even spacing.

In trying to avoid a pattern,
he wound up with one anyway?

Yep. Locations
purposefully

distanced from a site
not on your map,

but clearly marked
in the perpetrator's mind.

Namely, his residence.

The equation reveals
the probability that each area

has of being the subject's base.

Yellow's the hot zone.

I had a feeling
about Silver Lake.

I estimate an 87% chance
he lives in that area.

You know, I don't know
a lot about mathematics,

but this doesn't
make any sense to me.

Makes more sense than this.

You can't win
if you don't buy a ticket.

Yes, this is truth.

However, the odds
of this one being

the winning ticket are
one in 41 million.

Which means if you bought
20 tickets every week,

you would win the jackpot
once every 40,000 years.

Really?

Yep. It's basic
probability theory.

Agent Eppes, we've got
the dead girl's car.

It's in a parking structure
in West Hollywood.

Let's go. Test it.

Run it against cases from
the past that've been solved.

Miller, pull some files
for him to work with.

Ever play craps?

Agent Eppes!
Over here.

Why don't you check
on the girl's car, David?

Got it.

- Turn up anything yet?
- What do you got?

Someone waited here.

We don't know if it is related
to Rachel Abbott,

but we've got
cigarette butts, soda cans.

The condition shows
they were left here recently.

Checking 'em for DNA?

We will.

Why wait here?

He couldn't know her car
wasn't going to start.

Nobody tampered with the car.

The spark plugs fouled,
built up over time.

( starter sputters )

What street does that nurse
Karen Silber live on?

Fountain, right?

What's the exact address?

634 Fountain.

Get her on the phone.

That's her house right there.

He was watching Silber.

Then he hears someone
having car trouble;

Rachel Abbott.

That's a target of opportunity.

But that's not why he was here.

He's still after Silber.

Karen Silber didn't show up
for work today.

Nobody knows where she is.

Let's move.

TERRY:
Call for backup!

FBI! Karen Silber, FBI!

Window open!

Go! Go!

( glass breaks )

I'll check the house.

CHARLIE:
Serial killer. Boston. 1992.

Killer resided in hot zone.

Serial rapist. Portland. 1983.

Rapist resided in hot zone.

Tonight, the Southland is rocked

by the return
of the L.A. rapist.

REPORTER 2:
...stalked and killed by a man

who had already raped her...

REPORTER 3: Karen Silber
was found dead in her own home

after an apparent second visit
by the L.A. rapist.

Neighbors insist
they heard nothing...

We've ordered police protection
for the other victims?

It's done.

You think he'll go after
another previous victim anyway?

No. He's too smart.

Very rare for a serial offender to
go after the same person twice.

He probably intended
to kill her the first time.

She said she put up
a hell of a struggle.

Yeah, I think in his mind,

he was just finishing
what he started.

But we're still at a dead end.

What's your next
course of action?

But today there was the tragic
discovery of Karen's body,

again showing the marks
of the L.A. rapist.

Charlie tested the equation
on five serial cases.

In four, the perpetrator
lived in the hot zone.

And he's predicted
a hot zone for this case.

Small neighborhood
in Silver Lake.

About 50 men live
in the vicinity.

If we move fast, we can get backgrounds
and DNA on that many guys in...

In 48, 72 hours.

No way we get a court order
off an equation.

You're gonna have to pick up
discarded objects to get the DNA.

Coffee cups, cigarette butts
and chewing gum.

That's the plan.

All right.

Let's go.

( computerized

( camera clicking )

( computerized

♪♪

Come on.
We got 16 so far.

Let's go. Let's move it.
Come on.

All right, that is number 34.

We need the rest.
What's the holdup?

DNA tests.
What do you expect?

The lab needs another day.

He's out there somewhere.

So is his next victim.

Aren't you going to introduce me
to your girlfriend?

You've met her before.
She's not my girlfriend.

I'm her thesis advisor.

Oh. Does that means she
can't be your girlfriend?

It's, uh...
it's against the rules.

Well, screw the rules.

What's more important,
learning or love?

Well, I'm sure there's no rule

against the father of her
thesis advisor asking her out.

Go for it. Go right ahead.
Be my guest.

Thank you.

Actually, I'm spoken for,
Mr. Eppes.

Back in Madras, my parents

arranged for a marriage
to a family friend --

a nice Hindu banker from Goa.

Really.

Getting married?

God, no.

He's a total ass.

Oh.

Dad, you're, like,
hovering over us.

And we have so much work to do.

I thought you already
helped your brother...

Something this complex needs
to be checked and rechecked.

There's one thing you and
your brother have in common --

on some things,
you're both very thorough.

Other stuff...

you completely miss.

( bird screeches )

DON: Right.
No, you just have to...

- ( whirring )
- I'm sorry, what? I can't...

Hold on.
30 minutes?

Don, there's a problem
with the...

15 minutes is the difference
between catching this guy

and having another dead
woman on our hands.

Can you at least get
us the DNA results?

Don...

Yeah.

That would help.
Thank you.

Charlie, did you just
say we have a problem?

I did a test to verify
the equation's accuracy.

I reversed it.

Like running a film backwards.

I used the hot zone as a starting
point and went the other way.

It was supposed to confirm
the known crime locations.

It did not.

I got 40 agents
working two days straight.

You're telling me that, what,
you made a mistake?

Not my mistake.

It was in the data
that you provided.

Those reports have been checked
and rechecked.

It was where Victim 12
was attacked.

So, either you guys
got it wrong,

or I don't know,

she lied to you.

Why do you say that?

It's evident

that these locations fit
within a general pattern

except for the first
Karen Silber attack,

in Marina Del Rey.

That's way outside the areas
defined by the other locations.

I mean, just look
at these numbers.

86 percent,

75 percent, 81 percent...

Two percent.

She was hiding something.
Maybe this is it.

Numbers don't lie.

DON: Why would she lie about
where the attack took place?

She had an ex-boyfriend.

She promised her fiancé she
wasn't seeing him anymore, but...

she and the ex
were still friends.

So if she was attacked in the
area her ex-boyfriend lived...

She'd lie 'cause she didn't want
the fiancé to know where she'd been.

We're going to need the
address of that ex-boyfriend.

Okay.

Charlie, I have a new location
for the first Silber attack.

She was probably in Los Feliz,

- near Hillhurst and Franklin.
- Great.

I'll run the equation again.
We'll get a more accurate map.

Wait a minute.
What's going on?

We got the last results.

All 52 guys from the
hot zone are cleared.

Not a single match.

Karen Silber lied about
where she was attacked.

We got the right location.

Charlie's generating
a better map.

Please, just come in.
Be patient.

- ( cell phone rings )
- Get on that map.

Yeah. Charlie...

It works.

The new location fits.
The map's much more accurate,

from 87% to 96%.

Give me the new zone.

He wants the new zone.

Hyperion between
Melrose and Del Mar.

Hyperion
between Melrose and Del Mar.

Marathon between Lucile...

Marathon between
Lucile and Robinson.

Robinson between
Marathon and Winslow.

Robinson between
Marathon and Winslow.

Robinson...

between Marathon and Winslow?

And Winslow...

between Edgecliffe
and Micheltorena?

With better data I was able to
narrow it down to a smaller area.

You only need to clear
about 20 guys.

I would assume that this
will allow you, you know,

a far more efficient use
of manpower and...

Charlie, you're telling me the
same area, it's only smaller.

Exactly, smaller
means more accurate.

No, we already cleared
those 20 guys.

Um, what?

No, that's... well...

you must have missed him
because, uh...

Well, either, um, you cleared
someone you shouldn't have,

or, uh... no, he lives there.
You just didn't find him.

You're not listening to me,
okay?

We cleared all males
in that zone.

And that means you missed him.

Look, you just said we're
dealing with degrees of probability.

96%, you know what that means?

I helped build an entire Weak
Force theory with less than that.

Yeah.

Well, it didn't work.
You understand?

I'm sorry.

Charlie...

Look, let's take a break, huh?

Get some coffee.

Charlie.

I'm trying to think.

I'm not running
the investigation anymore.

If there's one agent in this office
that can crack this case, it's you.

Yeah, but I didn't.

I don't think you realize
how hard you push yourself.

Everything we tried
was going to be a long shot.

Yeah, well, I got to go
brief De Winter.

He's taking over.

I'll do it.

Thanks.

( electronic games blipping )

Larry...

something went wrong
and I don't know what.

And now it's like
I can't even think.

Well, let me guess.

You tried to solve a problem
involving human behavior

and it blew up in your face.

Yeah, pretty much.

Okay, well, Charles,
you are a mathematician.

You're always looking
for the elegant solution.

The human behavior is
rarely, if ever, elegant.

The universe is full of
these odd bumps and twists.

You know, perhaps you need
to make your equation

less elegant, more complicated,

less precise, more descriptive.

It's not going to be as pretty,

but it might work
a little bit better.

And, Charlie, when you're
working on human problems,

there's going to be pain
and disappointment.

You've got to ask yourself
is it worth it?

Okay, I'll see
you tomorrow. Bye.

Bye.

( screaming )

( crickets chirping )

I can't get my head around it.

What are we missing?

Where's the problem?

And how do we make it work?

We have to make it work.

We need to retest it.
We need another run.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Well, look. I know
that it's gonna be hard

for you to talk
your boss into doing it again,

- but we can't stop after one attempt.
- Charlie.

These kind of new methods
require repeated trials.

Charlie, I'm not
on the case anymore.

Okay?

Why?

Because my supervisor wanted
fresh eyes on it.

Well, maybe the math
is not the problem.

CHARLIE:
What do you mean?

Well, you just said
that there was something

you couldn't get
your head around,

and I know for a fact
that it can't be the math.

What else is there?

DON:
Hey, maybe he's right.

I mean, this sprinkler
had totally made sense.

That you could track
back from the location

and find out
where the guy lives.

Right? Totally
made sense.

Maybe we're thinking about
this guy in too narrow a focus.

Are you saying I need to consider
more than his criminal activities?

No, not exactly.

I'm saying we maybe
need to consider

more than just where
he lives. Look at me.

If you designed an equation
to find my origin,

you wouldn't get my apartment
'cause I'm almost never there.

My base would be my office.

( echoing ):
Would be my office.

Which means...

he'll use his home and his work
as points of origin.

DON:
Exactly.

I can design an equation
to identify two hot zones.

Why didn't I think of that?

Don...

Dad.

That's brilliant.

This new equation works back
from the crime scenes

to identify two locations.

Okay, so two hot zones,
but very, very different.

Right.

The old zone...

was residential.

The new zone is in
an industrial area.

Home and work.

We know
he wasn't in the home zone,

What would be helpful is if we
had a blowup of the industrial.

It's printing out.

Theoretically, if you find
somebody in this new zone,

the work zone, he should have
a link to the old one, yeah?

Enough theory. Let's test it.

This is Special Agent Eppes
in Los Angeles.

I need to run
a database search for companies

in the industrial district of
Vernon, Los Angeles, California.

Peter Carlucci.

Hey, guys.
Check it out.

Here's a second hot zone.

What works with the first?

I'm running employee databases
of companies in the new zone

against FBI databases
of sexual offenders.

We narrowed it to eight guys.

"Adam Klanzani, 77."

He's too old.

"John Dorstaf, pedophile."

It's not him.

"Victor Tommani,
in jail until two months ago."

Okay, here's something.

What is it?

"Roland Haldane."

Runs a small
party rental company in Vernon.

Arrested for attempted rape
12 years ago.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, guys.

Hold on.
We're headed out of here.

- Miller?
- What's going on?

I need you to check
out this guy's residence.

- Let's go, guys.
- What's going on?

I'll tell you on the way.
Come on.

Let's move.
Let's go!

The suspect hasn't
returned to his house.

Well, that looks
like his van there.

Terry, why don't you
check for other entrances.

MAN:
Hang on.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Special Agent Eppes.

This is Special Agent Sinclair.

We're following up on a report.

Mind if we come in?

Sure. Come on.

HALDANE:
Bootleg DVDs?

Being sold around here?

You Feds are serious
about this pirating stuff.

Yep, we are.

You prepare food here?

I do a little
catering on the side.

You cook?

It's a one-man operation.
I do everything.

Crème brûlée

David, it's him!

Drop that knife!

Drop the knife or I'll shoot!

Drop it now!

Drop it!

Drop that knife!

Drop it!

( glass shattering )

( groans )

( gunshots )

( muffled groans )

Shh. Shh.
Hang on, hang on.

( panting )

( gasping sharply )

( crying hysterically )

Shh.

- ( crying continues )
- ( phone dialing )

Shh. It's okay.

- Terry!
- Don!

Terry!

Don, in here!

She's alive.
I called paramedics.

- They're on their way.
- You all right?

- Yeah.
- ( Don coughs )

You okay?

( panting )

( panting )

You all right there?

( breathlessly ):
Yeah.

Thanks.

Good job.

Thanks.

( siren blaring, garbled
police radio transmission )

Thanks.

Hey, Charlie.

TERRY:
I'm going to talk to the victim.

Hey.

Come here.

There's something
I want to show you.

Haldane lived in Century City,

but he'd just moved there
three weeks ago.

Look where he used to live.

That's why we couldn't find him
in the first hot zone.

He was there, but he moved.

That's a hell of an equation,
Charlie.

Thank you.

Come here.

CHARLIE:
Everything is numbers.

( echoes ):
Numbers, numbers, numbers...
