Damn. My phone.
26
00:01:42,127 --> 00:01:44,379
( explosion,
car alarms blaring )
27
00:01:49,551 --> 00:01:52,012
( sirens blaring )
28
00:02:01,313 --> 00:02:02,356
What do you say, Colby?
29
00:02:02,462 --> 00:02:03,588
Hey, Don.
30
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:07,277
Friends from the Earth
Liberation Movement again, huh?
31
00:02:07,486 --> 00:02:10,489
Yup. So, this makes
for the fourth eco fire.
32
00:02:10,697 --> 00:02:12,199
You tell how you're
gonna save the world
33
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:14,743
by burning down
an SUV dealership, you know?
34
00:02:15,077 --> 00:02:17,371
Yeah, well, all I can tell you
is, we got a guy over here
35
00:02:17,579 --> 00:02:19,540
who's not gonna be
around to enjoy the fresh air.
36
00:02:19,748 --> 00:02:23,043
Sean Grasso. He's 32,
junior salesman.
37
00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:26,213
The owner says he thinks he probably
came in here early to do his paperwork.
38
00:02:26,421 --> 00:02:27,631
Notify the family?
39
00:02:27,798 --> 00:02:29,967
Yeah, Megan talked to his wife.
40
00:02:30,109 --> 00:02:31,551
Evidently,
they have a four-month old.
41
00:02:31,686 --> 00:02:32,770
- Don. Hey.
- Hey.
42
00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:33,861
I got your message.
43
00:02:34,555 --> 00:02:37,057
Yeah. You-You didn't have
to come down, buddy.
44
00:02:37,224 --> 00:02:40,060
Aah. Um, four fires doesn't provide
enough data to create a hot zone,
45
00:02:40,227 --> 00:02:42,437
so I thought... I thought there might
be something else here I can work with.
46
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:44,106
- Oh, come here.
- It's really not much, Charlie.
47
00:02:44,273 --> 00:02:46,275
It's just the burned out SUV
and this booth here.
48
00:02:46,441 --> 00:02:48,068
- Hey, Paul. Let me see.
- MAN: Don.
49
00:02:48,277 --> 00:02:49,695
- How's it going?
- All right.
50
00:02:49,861 --> 00:02:51,113
- Hey. Colby.
- Paul.
51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,282
Hi. I'm Charles Eppes.
I'm a FBI consultant.
52
00:02:53,448 --> 00:02:55,117
Paul Stevens.
LAFD Arson Investigator.
53
00:02:55,284 --> 00:02:56,368
Are you an arson expert?
54
00:02:56,488 --> 00:02:57,697
I'm a mathematician.
55
00:02:57,869 --> 00:02:59,955
You might be wondering what
I'm doing at the scene of an arson.
56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,707
Hey, makes sense to me.
57
00:03:01,873 --> 00:03:04,459
I mean, I-I've got arson books
full of equations.
58
00:03:04,626 --> 00:03:06,461
Open and contained
flame calculators,
59
00:03:06,587 --> 00:03:08,297
uh, flow rates for oxygen...
60
00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:11,592
Well, the-the study of combustion
is based largely on fluid mechanics.
61
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:13,176
You know, there's some
amazing work done
62
00:03:13,302 --> 00:03:15,137
by Prandtl and Euler, Smits...
63
00:03:15,304 --> 00:03:17,347
Equations are in the
books, not that in here.
64
00:03:17,472 --> 00:03:19,308
Mostly I work
with physical indicators --
65
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:20,684
scorch marks,
66
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:22,978
ignition devices, burn patterns.
67
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:24,354
Trying to build a signature.
68
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:26,440
Arsonist's M.O.,
that kind of thing.
69
00:03:27,357 --> 00:03:29,443
So, anything?
70
00:03:29,601 --> 00:03:32,406
Yeah. The, uh, SUV went up
with a Molotov cocktail.
71
00:03:32,499 --> 00:03:33,384
Mm-hmm.
72
00:03:33,462 --> 00:03:34,865
That's the same
as all the other fires.
73
00:03:34,990 --> 00:03:36,033
And the security booth here?
74
00:03:36,158 --> 00:03:37,284
Cigarette and a book of matches.
75
00:03:37,409 --> 00:03:38,660
Classic, old-school igniter.
76
00:03:38,785 --> 00:03:40,120
Why bother with the booth?
77
00:03:40,287 --> 00:03:41,455
Well, there's a phone inside.
78
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:43,290
Probably wanted to make sure
no one called for help.
79
00:03:43,415 --> 00:03:44,916
COLBY: Only the
salesman shows up early
80
00:03:45,083 --> 00:03:46,335
and tries to make a call anyway.
81
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:48,045
Opens the door,
influx of oxygen --
82
00:03:48,211 --> 00:03:49,630
creates a back draft.
83
00:03:49,838 --> 00:03:51,882
I mean, people underestimate
the power of a fire,
84
00:03:52,049 --> 00:03:53,342
even a small one.
You know?
85
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:55,218
What do you suggest we do
at this point?
86
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:58,722
Trying to catch an arsonist
by his signature is like
87
00:03:58,847 --> 00:04:01,058
trying to identify someone
by their shadow. I mean...
88
00:04:01,224 --> 00:04:02,934
I might be able to come up
with a lot more if I can borrow
89
00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:04,561
your, uh, professor here.
90
00:04:04,686 --> 00:04:06,355
Yeah, I mean, it's fine
with me, go for it.
91
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,898
Sure. It's my pleasure.
92
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:09,691
- Can I see what you're working with?
- Sure.
93
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:12,778
COLBY: You know, in Colorado, these
guys eventually destroyed a ski resort.
94
00:04:12,903 --> 00:04:14,237
They left a banner that said,
95
00:04:14,363 --> 00:04:16,114
"If you build it, the
E.L.M. will burn it."
96
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:18,241
You know what was really
concerning me is that with each fire,
97
00:04:18,408 --> 00:04:19,785
they get more aggressive.
98
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:28,877
We all use math every day,
99
00:04:29,378 --> 00:04:30,796
to predict weather,
100
00:04:31,213 --> 00:04:32,547
to tell time,
101
00:04:34,132 --> 00:04:35,592
to handle money.
102
00:04:37,344 --> 00:04:40,681
Math is more than formulas
and equations.
103
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,141
It's logic...
104
00:04:44,685 --> 00:04:46,395
it's rationality.
105
00:04:47,145 --> 00:04:51,483
It's using your mind to solve the
biggest mysteries that we know.
106
00:04:59,074 --> 00:05:00,742
"There is no more open door
107
00:05:00,909 --> 00:05:03,912
"by which one can enter
the study of natural science
108
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:07,791
than by considering
the phenomena of a candle."
109
00:05:09,418 --> 00:05:11,044
Faraday said that.
110
00:05:11,712 --> 00:05:13,004
Faraday?
111
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:15,215
I wonder if Faraday
ever used his insights
112
00:05:15,340 --> 00:05:17,008
to crack an arson case.
113
00:05:17,113 --> 00:05:19,428
Oh, do my sensors
detect frustration?
114
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,887
Yes, your sensors are correct.
115
00:05:21,012 --> 00:05:24,015
Arson investigations
consider seven points of data --
116
00:05:24,141 --> 00:05:25,308
fuel, burn rate,
117
00:05:25,434 --> 00:05:27,561
scorch marks, smoke patterns,
118
00:05:27,686 --> 00:05:30,480
flame temperature,
igniter, and, uh,
119
00:05:30,605 --> 00:05:34,151
oh, point of origin -- to create
what's called a fire signature.
120
00:05:34,484 --> 00:05:35,902
Oh, seven points.
121
00:05:36,027 --> 00:05:38,572
You know, this sounds less
like a signature,
122
00:05:38,697 --> 00:05:39,906
more like a fingerprint.
123
00:05:40,031 --> 00:05:41,241
Well, see,
but that's-that's just it.
124
00:05:41,366 --> 00:05:42,492
It's not like a fingerprint.
125
00:05:42,659 --> 00:05:44,494
Arson signatures are not nearly
as accurate,
126
00:05:44,619 --> 00:05:46,163
nor are they as specific.
127
00:05:46,288 --> 00:05:47,539
I need more parameters.
128
00:05:47,706 --> 00:05:50,125
Everything that gives
a fire its specific character.
129
00:05:50,292 --> 00:05:51,209
All right.
130
00:05:51,334 --> 00:05:52,335
What's to be done here?
131
00:05:52,461 --> 00:05:53,587
Well, I've already started
132
00:05:53,754 --> 00:05:55,630
by breaking down the initial
seven data points
133
00:05:55,756 --> 00:05:59,050
into several subsets, although,
I'm sure there's more to follow.
134
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:02,262
Do you realize that if
every vehicle in this nation
135
00:06:02,387 --> 00:06:05,557
averaged just 2.7 more
miles per gallon,
136
00:06:05,682 --> 00:06:07,851
we could cut our dependency
on Mideast oil?
137
00:06:08,018 --> 00:06:11,563
Are you seriously trying to
justify the arsonist's motive?
138
00:06:11,688 --> 00:06:13,273
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Hear me out.
139
00:06:13,398 --> 00:06:14,858
I'm merely making the point
140
00:06:15,025 --> 00:06:17,569
that the E.L.M.'s goals
are ecological.
141
00:06:17,694 --> 00:06:18,987
They're not pathological.
142
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:20,864
Larry, I'm not really interested
143
00:06:20,989 --> 00:06:22,657
in the social significance
of these fires.
144
00:06:22,783 --> 00:06:23,950
Well, you should be, Charles.
145
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:26,119
- No, I shouldn't be, actually.
- Yes, you should be.
146
00:06:26,244 --> 00:06:27,496
Listen to me here.
147
00:06:27,621 --> 00:06:30,624
As fire destroys,
it also creates.
148
00:06:31,666 --> 00:06:33,418
And not just heat or light,
149
00:06:34,211 --> 00:06:36,046
but a solid product.
150
00:06:36,171 --> 00:06:37,839
- Soot?
- Soot.
151
00:06:38,006 --> 00:06:39,132
And the soot created
152
00:06:39,299 --> 00:06:41,510
within that fire is what
gives the flame its color.
153
00:06:41,635 --> 00:06:42,928
Something you can't even see,
154
00:06:43,094 --> 00:06:45,472
and yet it defines
its entire nature.
155
00:06:46,181 --> 00:06:47,516
- Larry.
- Charles.
156
00:06:47,641 --> 00:06:49,059
All due respect, I don't get it.
157
00:06:49,184 --> 00:06:51,478
This most recent fire claimed
a life.
158
00:06:51,603 --> 00:06:52,938
The others didn't.
159
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,527
Intent.
160
00:06:58,693 --> 00:06:59,569
Keep going.
161
00:06:59,736 --> 00:07:00,779
Intent and...
162
00:07:00,904 --> 00:07:02,531
Intent and result.
163
00:07:03,198 --> 00:07:06,243
If each arsonist
approaches a fire differently,
164
00:07:06,368 --> 00:07:08,662
then it... then it makes sense
that every fire set...
165
00:07:08,787 --> 00:07:11,498
Would be as unique
as the person setting it.
166
00:07:11,915 --> 00:07:14,543
And not just in terms
of the method used,
167
00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:17,546
but in terms of-of the entire
168
00:07:17,712 --> 00:07:19,714
character of that fire.
169
00:07:20,841 --> 00:07:23,385
So, what you're talking about
really is like a, um...
170
00:07:23,844 --> 00:07:25,887
like a fingerprint for fires.
171
00:07:27,389 --> 00:07:28,932
A "fireprint."
172
00:07:35,230 --> 00:07:36,690
That's ridiculous.
173
00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:39,526
Why would the E.L.M. waste
our efforts on an SUV lot?
174
00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:42,571
Gas prices and common sense are
gonna do that work for us.
175
00:07:42,696 --> 00:07:44,823
Your group's connected
to acts of sabotage
176
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:48,451
against construction sites,
and lumber mills, and oil wells...
177
00:07:48,577 --> 00:07:49,911
And has acknowledged
every single one.
178
00:07:50,078 --> 00:07:52,163
The Earth Liberation Movement
has no involvement in these fires,
179
00:07:52,289 --> 00:07:53,498
and we've repeatedly said so.
180
00:07:53,623 --> 00:07:55,000
COLBY: So, tell me again
then why it is
181
00:07:55,125 --> 00:07:57,335
that your logo is spray painted
at all four of the crime scenes?
182
00:07:57,460 --> 00:07:59,629
Anyone can put three letters
on a wall.
183
00:07:59,921 --> 00:08:01,381
Even an FBI agent.
184
00:08:01,506 --> 00:08:03,174
MAN:
We've condemned the arsons,
185
00:08:03,341 --> 00:08:05,260
we've cooperated with
your investigation.
186
00:08:05,385 --> 00:08:06,511
MEGAN Actually, you haven't.
187
00:08:06,636 --> 00:08:08,096
We asked you for
your membership roster,
188
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:09,306
and you took us to court.
189
00:08:09,431 --> 00:08:11,892
We're a national organization
with 200 active members
190
00:08:12,017 --> 00:08:13,643
and ten times that number
of associates.
191
00:08:13,810 --> 00:08:15,186
We can't let you
randomly harass us.
192
00:08:15,312 --> 00:08:18,315
A homicide investigation
is not random harassment.
193
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,110
WOMAN: The FBI has a history
of undermining legitimate protest.
194
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:24,195
Congress of Racial Equality,
195
00:08:24,321 --> 00:08:26,239
Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party,
196
00:08:26,364 --> 00:08:27,699
American Indian Movement.
197
00:08:27,824 --> 00:08:29,117
That was the 1960s.
198
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:30,952
Do me a favor
and check a calendar.
199
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:33,371
The fires are intended
to discredit us.
200
00:08:33,538 --> 00:08:34,539
In my book,
201
00:08:34,706 --> 00:08:36,291
that makes you people
the suspects.
202
00:08:37,709 --> 00:08:38,960
I mean, it's possible
203
00:08:39,085 --> 00:08:41,379
someone could be using
their logo to throw us, right?
204
00:08:41,963 --> 00:08:44,424
Maybe in one fire.
But four?
205
00:08:44,549 --> 00:08:46,468
Yeah? So?
206
00:08:46,635 --> 00:08:49,971
Well, the E.L.M. isn't exactly
a monolithic organization.
207
00:08:50,138 --> 00:08:51,806
Kids float in and float out.
208
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:53,433
All right, we just keep
busting their soldiers,
209
00:08:53,558 --> 00:08:55,143
and they'll just
keep recruiting more.
210
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,646
- Hey.
- Hey.
211
00:08:59,814 --> 00:09:00,982
Oh, where did you get that?
212
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:02,275
E.L.M. office.
213
00:09:02,442 --> 00:09:04,986
I'm positive I've seen that guy
in the middle before.
214
00:09:05,403 --> 00:09:06,905
You stole this picture?
215
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:08,990
Well, it must have fallen off
the bulletin board
216
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:10,742
and gotten stuck to my shoe.
217
00:09:10,909 --> 00:09:12,869
DON: Got to do what you
got to do, right?
218
00:09:14,204 --> 00:09:15,789
Wait a minute.
You just see that?
219
00:09:16,081 --> 00:09:17,332
Look at that hat.
220
00:09:17,499 --> 00:09:18,708
MEGAN:
LA Center College.
221
00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:21,378
Yeah, there's probably only a
few thousand kids with that hat on.
222
00:09:21,503 --> 00:09:23,546
COLBY:
Yeah. But hold on. Look at this.
223
00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:26,299
Right there.
224
00:09:26,424 --> 00:09:28,802
How many of those show up
at two different fires?
225
00:09:28,969 --> 00:09:31,721
MEGAN: 90 percent of all E.L.M.
activists are college students.
226
00:09:31,888 --> 00:09:33,640
They're all young,
white and male.
227
00:09:33,765 --> 00:09:36,059
COLBY: Yeah, but look at that.
That's a good match.
228
00:09:36,226 --> 00:09:37,185
DON:
Yeah, I agree.
229
00:09:37,352 --> 00:09:38,561
All right, so we got
a face and a school.
230
00:09:38,687 --> 00:09:40,188
We just need a student ID match.
231
00:09:52,492 --> 00:09:54,494
Ah, college.
232
00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:58,248
Here it is -- Room B.
233
00:09:58,915 --> 00:10:00,333
Hey, wait a minute.
234
00:10:00,709 --> 00:10:01,918
Door's open.
235
00:10:02,085 --> 00:10:05,714
Yeah, but anything we find can
be subject to a challenge in court.
236
00:10:06,089 --> 00:10:08,925
Why don't we try
and just break one law a day?
237
00:10:09,050 --> 00:10:10,969

Hi, I'm trying to find
Jake Eckworth.
243
00:10:24,357 --> 00:10:26,484
Can you tell me
where I might find him?
244
00:10:27,736 --> 00:10:29,946
Uh, Jake's my roommate, but he
doesn't tell me where he goes.
245
00:10:30,113 --> 00:10:32,032
Do you mind if we take a look
around your room?
246
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:43,501
So, is Jake a geography major?
247
00:10:43,668 --> 00:10:44,919
World history.
248
00:10:45,045 --> 00:10:46,129
What are you studying?
249
00:10:46,296 --> 00:10:47,547
Engineering.
250
00:10:47,672 --> 00:10:48,882
Oh. Cool.
251
00:10:51,134 --> 00:10:53,219
You're not going to find anything.
He nukes the history.
252
00:10:53,344 --> 00:10:54,262
COLBY:
Really?
253
00:10:54,429 --> 00:10:55,847
And how do we know that?
254
00:10:56,347 --> 00:10:58,475
Well, because they're probably
good friends, Granger.
255
00:10:58,641 --> 00:11:01,269
I'm sure he uses your laptop,
sometimes, right?
256
00:11:01,644 --> 00:11:03,146
Sometimes, yeah.
257
00:11:03,938 --> 00:11:05,940
You know, you should really wait
until Jake gets back.
258
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:07,734
Hold on a second, you said
he deletes the history,
259
00:11:07,901 --> 00:11:10,236
so what if I run
a system restore.
260
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:12,697
You're going to mess up
his software.
261
00:11:13,114 --> 00:11:14,407
Just use the hard drive trace.
262
00:11:14,532 --> 00:11:16,076
You can backdoor it
from the desktop,
263
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:18,161
instead of trying to drop
through the C drive.
264
00:11:18,286 --> 00:11:19,454
( computer beeping )
265
00:11:22,791 --> 00:11:24,876
COLBY:
"E.L.M.com."
266

"Glendale Chamber
of Commerce?"
267
00:11:26,878 --> 00:11:29,172
MEGAN: There's some notations
on the map around Glendale.
268
00:11:29,714 --> 00:11:30,882
Yeah.
269
00:11:32,175 --> 00:11:33,259
Look at this:
"Verdugo Ridge,
270
00:11:33,384 --> 00:11:34,761
Glendale, California."
271
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:36,346
"Private, luxury living space,
272
00:11:36,471 --> 00:11:38,098
opening fall 2006."
273
00:11:38,223 --> 00:11:39,432
This could be our guy.
274
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:41,684
100 units being built
on mountain habitat.
275
00:11:41,709 --> 00:11:44,729
Well, that fits the profile for
an E.L.M. target, doesn't it?
276
00:11:45,188 --> 00:11:46,731
It certainly does.
277
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,650
Thank you.
278
00:11:55,198 --> 00:11:56,741
It's pretty up here.
279
00:12:00,912 --> 00:12:02,747
That's his car, that blue Honda.
280
00:12:02,872 --> 00:12:04,082
Yeah, I see it.
281
00:12:04,249 --> 00:12:05,834
Colby, we go his car, you ready?
282
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:07,544
COLBY ( over radio ):
We're on the access road.
283
00:12:07,710 --> 00:12:09,379
He leaves,
he has to come past us.
284
00:12:09,546 --> 00:12:11,089
All right. We're moving.
285
00:12:21,349 --> 00:12:22,892
You guys take this side.

00:13:05,143 --> 00:13:06,519
Jake, FBI -- don't move.
288
00:13:06,644 --> 00:13:07,896
Jake, wait!
289
00:13:17,488 --> 00:13:19,532
Jake? Jake!
290
00:13:20,283 --> 00:13:21,814
Colby, he's coming your way.
291
00:13:21,951 --> 00:13:23,453
COLBY:
Copy that, Don!
292
00:13:29,167 --> 00:13:30,752
FBI! Freeze!
293
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:33,338
Freeze! Drop the bag!
294
00:13:33,463 --> 00:13:35,215
Get your hands up.
Get them up!
295
00:13:37,258 --> 00:13:38,843
I haven't done anything.
296
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:41,763
Wow...
297
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:44,307
cigarettes, lighter,
spray paint.
298
00:13:44,807 --> 00:13:46,809
Thought you guys
were all about clean air.
299
00:13:53,274 --> 00:13:54,817
I didn't set any fires.
300
00:13:54,943 --> 00:13:55,902
Really?
301
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:58,863
Cause the local news
puts you at two E.L.M. fires
302
00:13:58,988 --> 00:14:00,448
in the past three weeks.
303
00:14:01,157 --> 00:14:02,283
E.L.M. is being set up.
304
00:14:02,450 --> 00:14:03,826
What, Jake,
you don't want credit?
305
00:14:03,952 --> 00:14:05,286
Why's that,
cause someone's dead now?
306
00:14:05,411 --> 00:14:07,789
E.L.M. events are carefully
planned to protect human life.
307
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:10,416
MEGAN: Yeah, but then...
accidents happen, right?
308
00:14:12,377 --> 00:14:13,544
DON:
What are you doing here, Jake?
309
00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:14,796
I'm just meeting a friend.
310
00:14:14,837 --> 00:14:16,047
MEGAN: Really?
Because your roommate says
311
00:14:16,172 --> 00:14:17,507
you've been
coming up here a lot.
312
00:14:18,925 --> 00:14:20,260
Who's that, Ethan?
313
00:14:20,385 --> 00:14:22,136
Ethan's a wannabe,
he doesn't know anything.
314
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:23,471
Who's your friend?
315
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:25,890
Just a concerned citizen.
316
00:14:26,057 --> 00:14:27,225
MEGAN:
Concerned with what, Jake?
317
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:29,352
Setting fires in Glendale?
318
00:14:30,103 --> 00:14:32,563
Oceans can absorb
two gigatons of carbon yearly.
319
00:14:32,730 --> 00:14:35,108
We're putting four times that into the
atmosphere with developments like this.
320
00:14:35,233 --> 00:14:36,442
How about this guy?
321
00:14:36,985 --> 00:14:38,361
How much carbon you put
in the atmosphere
322
00:14:38,486 --> 00:14:39,821
burning a 32-year-old father?
323
00:14:39,988 --> 00:14:41,322
Why don't you take
a good look at that.
324
00:14:41,489 --> 00:14:42,490
Go ahead. Hmm?
325
00:14:42,657 --> 00:14:43,783
No?
326
00:14:46,077 --> 00:14:47,578
My only involvement
with the E.L.M.
327
00:14:47,704 --> 00:14:49,038
is to forward information
to the media.
328
00:14:49,205 --> 00:14:51,749
I'm not, and have never been,
involved in any illegal activity.
329
00:14:51,874 --> 00:14:53,584
I am aware that you can't
hold me here without evidence.
330
00:14:53,710 --> 00:14:55,628
So, either release
or get me a lawyer.
331
00:15:01,259 --> 00:15:03,011
Kid knew exactly what to say.
332
00:15:03,136 --> 00:15:05,430
Yeah, well, I used to be smarter
than everybody else, too.
333
00:15:05,555 --> 00:15:07,640
Yeah, arrogance fits the profile
334
00:15:07,765 --> 00:15:09,767
of a political arsonist
perfectly.
335
00:15:09,892 --> 00:15:11,602
Well, we definitely
don't have enough to hold him.
336
00:15:11,728 --> 00:15:12,729
So, we're letting him go?
337
00:15:12,854 --> 00:15:14,480
No, we'll put him
under tight surveillance,
338
00:15:14,605 --> 00:15:17,108
which will at least keep him
from lighting another fire.
339
00:15:17,275 --> 00:15:18,985
All right. I'll check his phone
records and credit cards.
340
00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:20,403
Try and connect a few dots.
341
00:15:20,528 --> 00:15:22,822
I think the roommate knows
more than we got out of him.
342
00:15:22,947 --> 00:15:24,949
Yeah, if he hears Jake
bad-mouthed him,
343
00:15:25,074 --> 00:15:27,285
might be a little more
forthcoming, too.
344
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:29,871
CHARLIE:
So, were you able to determine
345
00:15:29,996 --> 00:15:31,331
what caused
the booth to explode?
346
00:15:31,456 --> 00:15:32,749
Like I thought: back draft.
347
00:15:32,915 --> 00:15:35,043
The igniter was shoved
under a seat cushion,
348
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:36,669
creating a high level
of heat in the booth.
349
00:15:36,794 --> 00:15:37,628
Limited oxygen.
350
00:15:37,795 --> 00:15:38,838
Door opens and "boom."
351
00:15:38,963 --> 00:15:40,548
So, let me get this straight.
352
00:15:40,715 --> 00:15:43,801
The arsonist throws a Molotov
cocktail to start one fire,
353
00:15:43,894 --> 00:15:44,802
but not the other.
354
00:15:44,927 --> 00:15:46,095
Molotov cocktails are tricky.
355
00:15:46,262 --> 00:15:47,847
I mean, if you want
a structure to burn,
356
00:15:47,972 --> 00:15:49,390
a simple fuse ignition
source is easier.
357
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:51,059
Gives a better shot at success.
358
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:54,520
Well, right now I'm working on
a principled components analysis
359
00:15:54,645 --> 00:15:57,273
to give us a more accurate
arson signature.
360
00:15:57,398 --> 00:15:59,650
Well, great, but how do you do
that with seven data points?
361
00:15:59,776 --> 00:16:00,777
Oh, no,
362
00:16:00,943 --> 00:16:02,320
Charles is considering using
over 600.
363
00:16:02,439 --> 00:16:03,492
Six hundred?
364
00:16:03,614 --> 00:16:05,226
CHARLIE: Well,
you're looking at rate of heat,
365
00:16:05,333 --> 00:16:06,695
time span and weather, right?
366
00:16:06,792 --> 00:16:07,733
Yeah, that's right.
367
00:16:07,825 --> 00:16:09,994
Right, so I'm just calculating
you know, heat absorption,
368
00:16:10,119 --> 00:16:13,247
the rate of fuel burn,
and the torching index.
369
00:16:13,498 --> 00:16:15,083
That's a little beyond
what we're capable of
370
00:16:15,208 --> 00:16:16,501
in the fire department,
I'll tell you that.
371
00:16:16,626 --> 00:16:19,045
Can I also see all the arson
records for L.A. County
372
00:16:19,170 --> 00:16:21,881
that you have access to
for, like, the past year?
373
00:16:23,174 --> 00:16:25,051
That's several thousand fires.
374
00:16:25,176 --> 00:16:26,886
Mm, that's
a pretty limited sample.
375
00:16:27,011 --> 00:16:28,221
You know what?
376
00:16:28,346 --> 00:16:30,014
Make it the past two years.
377
00:16:31,516 --> 00:16:32,642
Okay.
378
00:16:32,767 --> 00:16:34,185
MEGAN:
He's a 17-year-old sophomore.
379
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:35,478
And I did some checking.
380
00:16:35,603 --> 00:16:36,729
He published a paper
381
00:16:36,854 --> 00:16:38,856
in the International Journal
of Civil Engineering.
382
00:16:38,981 --> 00:16:40,691
Oh, at 17, that's impressive.
383
00:16:40,983 --> 00:16:42,026
Yeah.
384
00:16:42,193 --> 00:16:43,736
I, uh, want you to talk to him,
385
00:16:43,903 --> 00:16:46,531
see if you could get me
some insight on him.
386
00:16:46,656 --> 00:16:48,699
That's your field, Agent Reeves.
387
00:16:48,866 --> 00:16:53,121
Yeah, but he's a young genius
in college with older kids,
388
00:16:53,287 --> 00:16:56,374
so I'm guessing he's feeling some
of the same social pressures you did.
389
00:16:56,833 --> 00:16:59,293
I'm looking for
a button to push.
390
00:17:00,461 --> 00:17:02,088
Are these seats taken?
391
00:17:06,717 --> 00:17:08,177
I don't have anything
to say to you.
392
00:17:08,302 --> 00:17:09,303
What's the matter?
393
00:17:09,470 --> 00:17:10,638
You told Jake I spoke to you.
394
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:12,932
Yeah, but I didn't tell him
anything you said.
395
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,726
Who's this?
396
00:17:16,018 --> 00:17:17,103
A friend.
397
00:17:17,228 --> 00:17:18,771
Ethan, Jake's headed for a fall,
398
00:17:18,938 --> 00:17:21,607
and he's not the kind of guy you
want to be near when he goes down.
399
00:17:21,732 --> 00:17:24,026
Let me guess -- prom queen?
400
00:17:24,152 --> 00:17:25,445
Cheerleader?
401
00:17:25,736 --> 00:17:26,779
Excuse me?
402
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:28,489
You don't know what it's like.
403
00:17:30,158 --> 00:17:31,826
The ones that don't ignore me
404
00:17:31,951 --> 00:17:33,244
make me feel like a freak.
405
00:17:33,411 --> 00:17:34,704
Scared of you...
406
00:17:35,121 --> 00:17:37,540
because they'll never catch up
to you in the classroom.
407
00:17:38,332 --> 00:17:41,878
Only talking to you
when they want your help.
408
00:17:42,378 --> 00:17:43,921
And when they do
let you sit with them,
409
00:17:44,046 --> 00:17:46,132
they have conversations
that go over your head,
410
00:17:46,257 --> 00:17:48,468
and nothing's supposed to go
over your head.
411
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:51,345
Jake talks to you.
412
00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:56,517
You wonder if he's the first
and last person who ever will.
413
00:18:00,605 --> 00:18:01,981
Jake says he's innocent.
414
00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:03,483
Well, okay.
415
00:18:03,733 --> 00:18:07,069
Well, the best way to prove
that is to help Agent Reeves.
416
00:18:07,195 --> 00:18:08,988
Help her get to the truth.
417
00:18:11,032 --> 00:18:12,408
You don't understand.
418
00:18:13,201 --> 00:18:14,577
May I?
419
00:18:19,248 --> 00:18:23,753
C sub h = NA sub 1
plus MA sub 2 where N = M.
420
00:18:24,754 --> 00:18:26,923
Single wall carbon nanotubes.
421
00:18:27,215 --> 00:18:32,011
Potential applications include
artificial muscles, combat jackets...
422
00:18:32,136 --> 00:18:33,638
and a space elevator.
423
00:18:35,848 --> 00:18:37,350
I understand.
424
00:18:40,978 --> 00:18:42,063
What do you want?
425
00:18:42,188 --> 00:18:43,523
I want the name of the person
426
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:45,525
that Jake was meeting
in Glendale.
427
00:18:49,070 --> 00:18:51,197
He has these friends
from Oregon.
428
00:18:51,572 --> 00:18:53,157
He talks to them online.
429
00:18:53,824 --> 00:18:55,159
I have to go.
430
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:02,833
I guess it does pays off
sometimes to be a know-it-all.
431
00:19:05,836 --> 00:19:08,506
A back draft is
a fascinating phenomena.
432
00:19:08,673 --> 00:19:10,591
We can demonstrate it
with this candle.
433
00:19:10,716 --> 00:19:13,177
It's also called
a smoke explosion.
434
00:19:14,053 --> 00:19:15,805
The flame causes the hot gases
435
00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:18,224
rising from the candle to...
436
00:19:19,267 --> 00:19:20,309
reignite.
437
00:19:20,434 --> 00:19:23,020
Somehow I missed the fact that
the CalSci Engineering Department
438
00:19:23,187 --> 00:19:24,605
had a combustion lab.
439
00:19:24,772 --> 00:19:25,815
It's pretty neat, huh?
440
00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:27,692
We converted it from
an old laundry room.
441
00:19:27,817 --> 00:19:30,152
Well, thank you, Professor Waldie,
for setting this whole thing up.
442
00:19:30,278 --> 00:19:31,487
"Bill," please,
443
00:19:31,654 --> 00:19:33,239
and you don't have to thank me.
444
00:19:33,406 --> 00:19:35,491
Creating the conditions
for a back draft,
445
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:37,910
that's just way cool.
446
00:19:38,327 --> 00:19:40,204
Well, here's our booth.
447
00:19:40,371 --> 00:19:42,790
And, as noted
in the arson report, we have:
448
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:44,333
insulated compartment,
449
00:19:44,458 --> 00:19:45,793
combustible ceiling.
450
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:49,213
Now, this geometry will
starve the fire just enough
451
00:19:49,380 --> 00:19:50,923
so that when
this door is opened,
452
00:19:51,048 --> 00:19:52,800
oxygen will rush inside,
453
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,510
creating a gravity current
454
00:19:54,635 --> 00:19:57,597
of cold air
and hot gases and, boom,
455
00:19:57,722 --> 00:19:59,932
smoke explosion, aka,
456
00:20:00,057 --> 00:20:01,225
a back draft.
457
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:03,102
All we need is the heat source.
458
00:20:03,227 --> 00:20:04,312
Yeah.
459
00:20:04,437 --> 00:20:05,771
That would be me.
460
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:08,024
I thought we could use
461
00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:09,442
the same brand
462
00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:11,402
that the arson
investigator found.
463
00:20:11,569 --> 00:20:13,321
And you're ready to go.
464
00:20:13,446 --> 00:20:14,989
Where'd you get a cigarette?
465
00:20:15,323 --> 00:20:16,824
I know a guy.
466
00:20:17,450 --> 00:20:19,118
Okay. So.
467
00:20:19,285 --> 00:20:21,537
Stevens said that
the arsonist probably
468
00:20:21,662 --> 00:20:23,623
placed the igniter
near some fuel,
469
00:20:23,789 --> 00:20:24,915
like a seat cushion.
470
00:20:25,041 --> 00:20:26,208
Mm-hmm.
471
00:20:26,375 --> 00:20:30,338
This type of foam is an
excellent hydrocarbon-based fuel.
472
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,010
Okay.
473
00:20:41,724 --> 00:20:43,184
( lights match )
474
00:21:05,373 --> 00:21:06,999
Temperature's rising.
475
00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:09,418
When the temperature inside
reaches 600 degrees,
476
00:21:09,543 --> 00:21:12,463
we'll open the door
and add oxygen.
477
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,090
Okay, well.
478
00:21:14,215 --> 00:21:16,634
If the scorch marks and flame
indicators were recorded
479
00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:19,303
correctly for
a 5:41 AM start time,
480
00:21:19,428 --> 00:21:22,723
then wind and outside pressure
are a check.
481
00:21:22,848 --> 00:21:27,186
And at 600 degrees we should be
good to go on a back draft.
482
00:21:28,604 --> 00:21:30,231
We're almost there.
483
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:41,992
Easy.
484
00:21:50,418 --> 00:21:51,585
Huh.
485
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:56,757
Did we ventilate
the booth properly?
486
00:21:56,882 --> 00:21:59,385
According to my
calculations, yeah, we did.
487
00:21:59,510 --> 00:22:01,762
Heat release, burn rate,
air, time.
488
00:22:01,929 --> 00:22:04,098
There's no error in your math.
489
00:22:04,387 --> 00:22:05,313
No, no.
490
00:22:05,349 --> 00:22:07,143
That's a statement,
not a question.
491
00:22:09,478 --> 00:22:14,150
The booth fire couldn't have
been caused by a back draft.
492
00:22:15,109 --> 00:22:17,778
All right, so if it wasn't
a back draft, then what was it?
493
00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:20,573
Given the speed of
the flame, the heat,
494
00:22:20,698 --> 00:22:24,076
the fire must have been assisted
by some sort of accelerant.
495
00:22:24,201 --> 00:22:26,287
The lab came back negative
for any accelerant.
496
00:22:26,412 --> 00:22:29,248
But some accelerants,
when used in small amounts,
497
00:22:29,415 --> 00:22:30,666
often easily evaporate.
498
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:33,002
Like hydrogen peroxide,
for instance.
499
00:22:33,127 --> 00:22:35,296
STEVENS: High concentrate
hydrogen peroxide
500
00:22:35,421 --> 00:22:37,757
might oxidize the fire enough
for enough for an explosion
501
00:22:37,923 --> 00:22:39,049
and not leave a trace.
502
00:22:39,175 --> 00:22:41,135
But that's difficult to obtain,
legally anyway.
503
00:22:41,302 --> 00:22:42,636
MEGAN:
Are we talking about
504
00:22:42,762 --> 00:22:44,555
the hydrogen peroxide
in my medicine cabinet?
505
00:22:44,722 --> 00:22:46,515
STEVENS: Charlie's talking about
industrial grade.
506
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,809
Yeah, but Larry gets it
for his intro class every year.
507
00:22:48,976 --> 00:22:50,770
So a student could get
their hands on it.
508
00:22:50,895 --> 00:22:51,896
COLBY:
Hold on a second.
509
00:22:52,062 --> 00:22:53,439
If he uses gasoline for the SUV,
510
00:22:53,564 --> 00:22:54,607
why not use it for the booth?
511
00:22:54,732 --> 00:22:55,983
That would have been easier.
512
00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:58,152
It's more like choosing a poison
513
00:22:58,277 --> 00:23:00,237
that wouldn't show
up in an autopsy.
514
00:23:00,404 --> 00:23:02,823
So you're saying they intended
to kill whoever opened the door?
515
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:06,577
You know, Larry posited
that the character of the fire
516
00:23:06,744 --> 00:23:10,122
will reveal the character
of the person who set it.
517
00:23:10,831 --> 00:23:13,042
Yeah. Larry's right.
518
00:23:13,501 --> 00:23:16,170
And the person who
set this fire is a murderer.
519
00:23:23,803 --> 00:23:26,514
The security booth fire is
an intentional homicide.
520
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:28,432
The E.L.M. has no
history of murder.
521
00:23:28,557 --> 00:23:30,142
Yeah, but these nuts
hide five-inch spikes
522
00:23:30,309 --> 00:23:31,310
in the trunks of trees.
523
00:23:31,435 --> 00:23:32,978
If nobody dies,
that's just luck.
524
00:23:33,103 --> 00:23:34,438
I'm not defending their methods,
525
00:23:34,563 --> 00:23:36,941
but the E.L.M. has stuck
to environmental targets --
526
00:23:37,066 --> 00:23:39,276
construction projects,
chemical pollutants.
527
00:23:39,401 --> 00:23:41,070
The injuries have
been unintentional.
528
00:23:41,195 --> 00:23:42,613
Well, not that
dealership fire, right?
529
00:23:42,738 --> 00:23:43,989
I mean, that was
designed to kill.
530
00:23:44,156 --> 00:23:46,367
Yeah, so either
that wasn't the E.L.M. or...
531
00:23:46,492 --> 00:23:48,994
Or else their membership just
got a hell of a lot less exclusive.
532
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,539
The roommate said Jake was in
touch with people from Oregon, right?
533
00:23:51,664 --> 00:23:52,665
Online.
534
00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:54,583
Yeah, but I checked his e-mails,
I.M.'s and phone records,
535
00:23:54,663 --> 00:23:55,640
and I didn't find anything.
536
00:23:55,751 --> 00:23:56,794
What about chat rooms?
537
00:23:56,919 --> 00:23:58,462
Find out who their I.S.P. is,
538
00:23:58,587 --> 00:24:00,297
and subpoena their
records, all right?
539
00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:10,850
Used to be this garage was
for laundry and parking a car.
540
00:24:10,975 --> 00:24:13,686
Sorry. All my cognitive emergence
theory work's over there,
541
00:24:13,853 --> 00:24:15,855
so we had to expand out.
542
00:24:15,938 --> 00:24:17,356
My God.
543
00:24:18,774 --> 00:24:20,150
You're pretty sure
you can identify
544
00:24:20,276 --> 00:24:21,944
a single arsonist?
545
00:24:22,069 --> 00:24:24,488
I'm not trying to identify
a particular person.
546
00:24:24,613 --> 00:24:26,657
I'm using
Principle Components Analysis
547
00:24:26,782 --> 00:24:31,412
and I'm inputting 600 variables
to quantify 5,000 fires
548
00:24:31,537 --> 00:24:35,708
to create a database that links
the fires to the people that set them.
549
00:24:36,625 --> 00:24:37,835
We're calling it a fireprint.
550
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,044
What's the next variable?
551
00:24:39,169 --> 00:24:41,338
Piloted ignition temperature.
552
00:24:42,172 --> 00:24:44,216
Piloted ignition what?
553
00:24:44,341 --> 00:24:46,969
It's describing a fire that
needs a spark to ignite itself.
554
00:24:47,062 --> 00:24:47,938
Oh.
555
00:24:48,001 --> 00:24:49,028
It's like a fuse being lit.
556
00:24:49,121 --> 00:24:51,640
The match and the fuse together
both pilot the fire.
557
00:24:51,765 --> 00:24:53,309
How else does
a fire get started?
558
00:24:53,475 --> 00:24:54,810
Spontaneous combustion.
559
00:24:54,977 --> 00:24:55,895
Yeah.
560
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:58,397
A gas being heated to the point
of producing a flame
561
00:24:58,522 --> 00:24:59,899
without there being
an outside source.
562
00:25:00,024 --> 00:25:02,359
And that would be
an un-piloted fire, right?
563
00:25:02,818 --> 00:25:04,528
Yeah, but you have this
one described over here
564
00:25:04,653 --> 00:25:07,281
as a piloted and
un-piloted fire.
565
00:25:07,406 --> 00:25:09,325
You know, the S.U.V. fire
was started
566
00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:12,161
when gasoline was ignited
by a flame -- piloted.
567
00:25:12,286 --> 00:25:13,495
But the booth fire
568
00:25:13,621 --> 00:25:18,125
was caused by heat rising to the
point of oxidation -- un-piloted.
569
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:19,627
That's right.
The explosion of flame
570
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:21,587
was caused by
the combination of hot gases
571
00:25:21,754 --> 00:25:23,589
and the oxidation
of hydrogen peroxide.
572
00:25:23,714 --> 00:25:25,966
That's a very complicated
way of setting a fire.
573
00:25:26,091 --> 00:25:27,384
It is.
574
00:25:27,551 --> 00:25:30,512
Well, I mean, shouldn't they be
considered two separate fires?
575
00:25:30,638 --> 00:25:32,348
I mean, for this to be
considered a fingerprint,
576
00:25:32,473 --> 00:25:36,477
then shouldn't every fire have
only one set of fingers?
577
00:25:36,769 --> 00:25:38,354
That's exactly right.
578
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,357
One fire designed to kill,
the other isn't.
579
00:25:41,941 --> 00:25:43,525
There's two different agendas.
580
00:25:43,984 --> 00:25:45,819
Two different arsonists.
581
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:48,697
- Hey.
- Hey.
582
00:25:48,822 --> 00:25:51,575
So Jake Eckworth's Internet
service provider downloaded
583
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:53,077
everything
from his I.P. address.
584
00:25:53,202 --> 00:25:54,161
And?
585
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:56,121
Well, turns out, he was using
two different screen names
586
00:25:56,246 --> 00:25:57,498
and passwords.
587
00:25:57,623 --> 00:25:59,249
First one was
fairly straightforward.
588
00:25:59,375 --> 00:26:01,877
EarthAvenger.
His password was his birthday.
589
00:26:02,002 --> 00:26:03,837
But finding the password
to the second screen name
590
00:26:03,963 --> 00:26:05,798
has been an entirely
different story.
591
00:26:05,923 --> 00:26:07,716
Yeah, it looks like
Eckworth used
592
00:26:07,841 --> 00:26:09,635
a Diffie-Hellman
Encryption Code.
593
00:26:09,802 --> 00:26:11,178
( whistles )
594
00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:13,639
Basically, impossible to crack.
595
00:26:13,847 --> 00:26:15,849
And I'm guessing we're
gonna find all the good stuff
596
00:26:16,016 --> 00:26:17,893
behind that encrypted password.
597
00:26:18,352 --> 00:26:20,646
His second screen name
is NanoTube?
598
00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:23,941
Yeah. Sounds like
a nerd porno star, huh?
599
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:26,610
Shows me where your head is at,
Granger.
600
00:26:26,735 --> 00:26:28,320
It's a technical term.
601
00:26:28,445 --> 00:26:30,322
I heard it used the other day...
602
00:26:32,199 --> 00:26:34,743
when I was interviewing
Ethan Powell.
603
00:26:37,955 --> 00:26:39,623
How sure are you?
604
00:26:39,748 --> 00:26:41,625
Mathematically,
I'm almost positive.
605
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:43,794
You see, when fires
are being investigated,
606
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:45,337
several elements are studied,
607
00:26:45,462 --> 00:26:48,215
elements that form together
to create a fire signature.
608
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:50,050
But unlike handwriting,
609
00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:51,635
elements of the fire signature
610
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,346
are more general and less
individually specific.
611
00:26:54,471 --> 00:26:58,809
Elements like scorch marks,
rate of burn, accelerants, gas,
612
00:26:58,934 --> 00:27:00,602
acetone, kerosene, alcohol.
613
00:27:00,728 --> 00:27:03,355
So, I created a more
specific analysis,
614
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,315
just like I did with the
theory of fingerprinting.
615
00:27:05,441 --> 00:27:06,775
I thought you didn't
like fingerprinting.
616
00:27:06,942 --> 00:27:07,818
I don't.
617
00:27:07,985 --> 00:27:09,778
The points of comparison
aren't standardized.
618
00:27:09,903 --> 00:27:10,946
Now with fingerprints,
619
00:27:11,071 --> 00:27:13,073
it's generally believed
that no two are the same.
620
00:27:13,198 --> 00:27:16,326
Well, that level of specificity
allows you to find matches
621
00:27:16,452 --> 00:27:18,829
with as little as seven points
of commonality.
622
00:27:18,954 --> 00:27:23,375
My fireprint analysis uses over
600 precise variables
623
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:26,086
projected down to
a 15-dimensional hyperplane.
624
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:29,006
So we have
15 numerical coordinates
625
00:27:29,131 --> 00:27:31,300
to match that level
of specificity.
626
00:27:31,467 --> 00:27:36,055
Now... these are the fireprints
from the two fires set
627
00:27:36,180 --> 00:27:38,182
- at the S.U.V. dealership.
- Mm-hmm.
628
00:27:38,307 --> 00:27:39,391
They're not the same.
629
00:27:39,517 --> 00:27:40,601
Two different patterns.
630
00:27:40,726 --> 00:27:43,353
When I ran these comparisons
against other fires set in L.A.,
631
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,563
I found matches.
632
00:27:44,688 --> 00:27:46,315
The S.U.V. fire
was nearly identical
633
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,650
to three other previous
E.L.M. fires.
634
00:27:48,776 --> 00:27:50,694
But the security booth fire
635
00:27:50,819 --> 00:27:52,863
was extremely dissimilar.
636
00:27:52,988 --> 00:27:54,698
So someone else set that fire.
637
00:27:54,823 --> 00:27:55,866
That's the theory.
638
00:27:55,991 --> 00:27:58,035
All right, so two arsonists.
639
00:27:58,202 --> 00:28:01,246
CHARLIE: Yeah. When I ran the
security booth fire against my database,
640
00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:05,626
I found 17 identical fires
going back almost five years.
641
00:28:05,918 --> 00:28:06,960
Five years?
642
00:28:07,086 --> 00:28:10,172
And none, not one of them,
had any environmental agenda
643
00:28:10,297 --> 00:28:12,549
or even the remotest connection
to the E.L.M.
644
00:28:12,674 --> 00:28:16,011
So one guy sets a typical E.L.M.
fire in the S.U.V...
645
00:28:16,136 --> 00:28:18,305
And the other guy sets
the security booth fire,
646
00:28:18,472 --> 00:28:20,516
only that one is intended
to actually kill somebody.
647
00:28:20,682 --> 00:28:23,352
A leader and a follower.
It's Leopold and Loeb.
648
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,813
Leopold and who?
649
00:28:26,021 --> 00:28:28,315
It was the most sensational
murder of the 1920s.
650
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,110
These two guys killed a little
boy simply to prove that they could.
651
00:28:31,235 --> 00:28:33,153
Loeb was
the dominant personality,
652
00:28:33,278 --> 00:28:34,988
and Leopold looked up to him.
653
00:28:35,114 --> 00:28:36,907
Jake Eckworth. Ethan Powell.
654
00:28:37,032 --> 00:28:38,826
( cell phone rings )
Eppes.
655
00:28:39,618 --> 00:28:41,453
Yeah. On our way.
656
00:28:41,495 --> 00:28:43,080
Okay. Another fire.
657
00:28:43,330 --> 00:28:44,623
How is that possible?
658
00:28:44,748 --> 00:28:46,208
Eckworth's been
under surveillance.
659
00:28:46,375 --> 00:28:48,168
Yeah, but Ethan hasn't been.
660
00:28:50,212 --> 00:28:52,506
( sirens blaring )
661
00:29:07,646 --> 00:29:09,565
It's arson.
E.L.M. again.
662
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:11,692
The fire was contained
to the sixth floor.
663
00:29:11,859 --> 00:29:12,818
What's up there?
664
00:29:12,943 --> 00:29:14,278
Oil exploration company.
665
00:29:14,403 --> 00:29:16,697
They have bids in
to drill in Alaska.
666
00:29:16,822 --> 00:29:18,282
What exactly happened?
667
00:29:18,407 --> 00:29:20,159
Standard teams went in,
got up there,
668
00:29:20,325 --> 00:29:22,828
flashover hit six guys before
they had a chance to get out.
669
00:29:22,995 --> 00:29:24,163
What's flashover?
670
00:29:24,288 --> 00:29:26,290
When everything in the room
ignites at once.
671
00:29:26,874 --> 00:29:29,626
CHARLIE: What might have prevented
the entire building from burning?
672
00:29:31,295 --> 00:29:33,172
Fire doors must have
done their job.
673
00:29:33,547 --> 00:29:35,090
Lucky for us, huh?
674
00:29:41,138 --> 00:29:43,098
Fire doors, my ass.
675
00:29:43,223 --> 00:29:44,808
That fire wasn't meant
to burn the building,
676
00:29:44,933 --> 00:29:46,185
it was meant to hit those men.
677
00:29:46,602 --> 00:29:49,354
Let's say the arsonist,
or arsonists, plural,
678
00:29:49,479 --> 00:29:51,273
know how to engineer
a back draft.
679
00:29:51,398 --> 00:29:52,983
Then doesn't it stand to reason
680
00:29:53,108 --> 00:29:55,319
that they could
create a flashover?
681
00:29:56,278 --> 00:29:59,031
Well, look, we're talking about
a serial killer now, right?
682
00:29:59,156 --> 00:30:01,700
Yeah. Who's using fires
as a weapon.
683
00:30:05,412 --> 00:30:06,872
CHARLIE: So they're saying
the fire doors
684
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,499
were able to contain the
blaze to the sixth floor.
685
00:30:09,666 --> 00:30:11,835
Okay, which supports
Megan's theory that people
686
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,087
were the arsonist's real target.
687
00:30:14,588 --> 00:30:16,215
How did he do this?
688
00:30:16,340 --> 00:30:18,008
Likely, used an accelerant.
689
00:30:18,133 --> 00:30:19,801
STEVENS:
There was no accelerant.
690
00:30:19,927 --> 00:30:20,969
Hang in there, man.
691
00:30:21,094 --> 00:30:22,763
I double-checked
the thermodynamics myself.
692
00:30:22,888 --> 00:30:24,181
There was no accelerant.
693
00:30:24,306 --> 00:30:26,058
If you don't mind --
this is me just being me --
694
00:30:26,225 --> 00:30:28,393
I'd like to recheck
those calculations.
695
00:30:28,518 --> 00:30:31,647
Please. I am just about
at the end of my rope.
696
00:30:32,231 --> 00:30:33,565
How long were the men up there?
697
00:30:33,732 --> 00:30:34,983
No more than a few seconds.
698
00:30:35,150 --> 00:30:36,944
And that was sufficient
to cause all this?
699
00:30:37,069 --> 00:30:38,153
It shouldn't have been.
700
00:30:38,278 --> 00:30:39,613
Continue, please.
701
00:30:39,780 --> 00:30:42,241
Well, this was
a fairly typical fire.
702
00:30:42,407 --> 00:30:43,825
I mean, given it was
a high rise,
703
00:30:43,992 --> 00:30:45,827
it presented certain
logistical problems,
704
00:30:45,953 --> 00:30:47,871
but nothing that these guys
shouldn't have been able to handle.
705
00:30:47,996 --> 00:30:50,415
I mean, they hooked their hoses
to the standpipe, okay?
706
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:51,708
What is that, the standpipe?
707
00:30:51,833 --> 00:30:53,085
The building's
water supply pipe.
708
00:30:53,252 --> 00:30:54,378
It's firefighter use only.
709
00:30:54,544 --> 00:30:55,921
And it was functioning properly?
710
00:30:56,038 --> 00:30:58,006
The truck's computer said
it had all the water it needed.
711
00:30:58,131 --> 00:31:00,217
This fire should have been out
in a few minutes.
712
00:31:00,384 --> 00:31:02,010
Then why didn't it go out?
713
00:31:05,931 --> 00:31:08,642
That's the same question I have
six families asking me right now.
714
00:31:12,938 --> 00:31:13,939
That's it.
715
00:31:14,064 --> 00:31:15,440
It's all there.
716
00:31:24,116 --> 00:31:26,159
So you set all the fires?
717
00:31:26,410 --> 00:31:28,328
Your buddy Jake had
nothing to do with it, huh?
718
00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:30,414
Yep. It was all me.
719
00:31:37,254 --> 00:31:40,882
First degree murder, that's
life in prison if you're lucky.
720
00:31:42,509 --> 00:31:43,969
That's a big weight
to carry alone.
721
00:31:44,094 --> 00:31:46,013
You still don't think
I'm capable of it, do you?
722
00:31:46,513 --> 00:31:48,098
My I.Q. is over 160.
723
00:31:48,265 --> 00:31:51,310
What I didn't think you were
capable of was being this stupid.
724
00:31:55,939 --> 00:31:58,525
You need to sign it the bottom,
initial each page.
725
00:32:06,783 --> 00:32:08,577
( sighs )
726
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:12,998
Maybe he's telling the truth.
727
00:32:13,415 --> 00:32:15,208
Charlie's fireprint
proves that there were
728
00:32:15,375 --> 00:32:17,836
two different arsonists
at that car dealership.
729
00:32:18,211 --> 00:32:21,173
And one of them is intentionally
trying to kill people.
730
00:32:22,007 --> 00:32:24,092
I don't think Ethan
has that in him.
731
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:28,555
Press Relations has already issued
a release saying we found our guy.
732
00:32:30,557 --> 00:32:33,560
You know, 300 years ago,
London burned to the ground,
733
00:32:33,810 --> 00:32:36,271
and the guy that confessed to it
wasn't even in London
734
00:32:36,438 --> 00:32:37,898
the night of the fire.
735
00:32:38,023 --> 00:32:40,901
But they didn't realize that till
two days after they hanged him.
736
00:32:42,819 --> 00:32:44,863
Sometimes, people say
things to be noticed
737
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:47,032
because sometimes, being ignored
738
00:32:47,157 --> 00:32:49,117
is worse than being blamed.
739
00:32:51,745 --> 00:32:53,747
CHARLIE: Steven's calculations
were correct.
740
00:32:53,914 --> 00:32:57,042
There was no accelerant and the
computer read-out on the truck
741
00:32:57,167 --> 00:32:58,335
was functioning properly.
742
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:01,463
Yeah, okay,
small fire, no accelerant,
743
00:33:01,588 --> 00:33:03,215
a sufficiency of water.
744
00:33:03,340 --> 00:33:05,133
The fire should have been
extinguished in minutes.
745
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:06,426
Yeah.
746
00:33:07,010 --> 00:33:09,638
And reality agrees.
747
00:33:09,805 --> 00:33:11,181
The fire goes out.
748
00:33:12,557 --> 00:33:13,850
( Alan clears throat )
749
00:33:14,226 --> 00:33:16,686
You know,
I'm not even going to ask.
750
00:33:16,853 --> 00:33:18,271
Okay, look,
there was another fire,
751
00:33:18,397 --> 00:33:19,773
and, apparently,
a signed confession
752
00:33:19,898 --> 00:33:22,567
does not satisfy Professor
Eppes' standard of guilt.
753
00:33:22,692 --> 00:33:25,821
CHARLIE: I sort of understand what
it's like to be this kid, Ethan Powell.
754
00:33:25,946 --> 00:33:28,281
You know... my freshman
year at Princeton,
755
00:33:28,407 --> 00:33:31,410
there were times I where pretty
desperate to fit in, any way I could.
756
00:33:31,535 --> 00:33:32,536
ALAN:
What are you saying?
757
00:33:32,702 --> 00:33:35,288
That you are who you are
because of just dumb luck?
758
00:33:35,455 --> 00:33:38,375
That you were just one roommate
away from being a pyromaniac?
759
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:39,751
No, of course not.
760
00:33:39,918 --> 00:33:41,336
That's clearly not what I mean.
761
00:33:41,461 --> 00:33:42,337
ALAN:
Good.
762
00:33:42,462 --> 00:33:44,256
Because that wouldn't say much
for the time
763
00:33:44,423 --> 00:33:45,966
that your mother and I
put into raising you,
764
00:33:46,091 --> 00:33:47,759
He makes a good point, Charles.
765
00:33:48,135 --> 00:33:49,886
You know, there's just
something I don't understand.
766
00:33:50,011 --> 00:33:52,431
Dad, you know about fire
suppression systems.
767
00:33:52,556 --> 00:33:54,141
You know about standpipes
and sprinklers.
768
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:55,267
ALAN:
Yeah, of course.
769
00:33:55,434 --> 00:33:56,601
That was one
of the highest priorities
770
00:33:56,726 --> 00:33:58,395
and one of the biggest
headaches for a city planner.
771
00:33:58,520 --> 00:33:59,896
So answer me this.
772
00:34:00,397 --> 00:34:03,233
How could firefighters have
adequate enough water pressure
773
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,069
and still not be able
to put out a fire?
774
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:08,572
Let me show you.
775
00:34:09,531 --> 00:34:10,699
Larry.
776
00:34:10,949 --> 00:34:12,701
Turn the water on, okay?
777
00:34:12,826 --> 00:34:14,327
- High.
- Yeah.
778
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:16,580
ALAN:
All right.
779
00:34:16,722 --> 00:34:19,374
- Now turn it lower.
- Okay.
780
00:34:19,541 --> 00:34:20,584
Slowly.
781
00:34:20,750 --> 00:34:21,877
Not off.
782
00:34:23,503 --> 00:34:24,671
That's it.
783
00:34:27,424 --> 00:34:28,425
There.
784
00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:30,469
Dad, that's Pascal's Principle.
785
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:32,762
Water distributes its force
uniformly,
786
00:34:32,929 --> 00:34:34,931
There's no way to tell
how much water volume there is
787
00:34:35,056 --> 00:34:36,475
based on the pressure.
788
00:34:44,441 --> 00:34:45,734
Fire hoses...
789
00:34:45,984 --> 00:34:47,319
have nozzles
790
00:34:47,444 --> 00:34:49,738
that automatically
maintain high pressure,
791
00:34:49,905 --> 00:34:51,490
just like your thumb just did.
792
00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:53,533
And the pressure
created by the nozzle
793
00:34:53,658 --> 00:34:56,745
hid the actual amount of water
flowing through their hoses.
794
00:34:56,912 --> 00:34:58,622
So they were fooled
into thinking
795
00:34:58,747 --> 00:35:00,415
they had normal amounts
of water.
796
00:35:00,540 --> 00:35:02,459
Which means
between the water supply
797
00:35:02,584 --> 00:35:04,419
and the fire fighters
on the sixth floor...
798
00:35:04,544 --> 00:35:07,631
the actual water volume
decreased.
799
00:35:07,756 --> 00:35:11,551
Which suggests that someone
tampered with the standpipe.
800
00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:13,303
Dad, who would know how
801
00:35:13,470 --> 00:35:15,388
a building's
standpipe system works?
802
00:35:15,514 --> 00:35:18,767
Contractors, plumbers,
firemen, engineers.
803
00:35:19,309 --> 00:35:20,977
I got to go talk to Don.
804
00:35:22,812 --> 00:35:25,398
Yeah, but I still have to take
a shower, you know.
805
00:35:28,235 --> 00:35:29,736
- No, thanks.
- Okay, all right.
806
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:31,696
The arsonist tampered
with the standpipe
807
00:35:31,821 --> 00:35:33,657
and reduced the water volume
to a point
808
00:35:33,782 --> 00:35:35,575
that the firemen
couldn't detect.
809
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:38,453
The water pressure seemed normal
when they turned their hoses on.
810
00:35:38,578 --> 00:35:41,540
Which would take a pretty sophisticated
understanding of engineering.
811
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:43,250
Which Ethan certainly has.
812
00:35:43,375 --> 00:35:45,085
Now, there are other factors,
as well.
813
00:35:45,252 --> 00:35:46,836
Remember, he character
of the fire...
814
00:35:46,962 --> 00:35:49,005
Should match the character
of the person that set it.
815
00:35:49,130 --> 00:35:52,551
And whoever set the booth fire
was clearly expecting a fireman
816
00:35:52,676 --> 00:35:54,219
to be the first responder.
817
00:35:54,344 --> 00:35:56,763
Firemen were clearly the targets
at the high-rise, as well,
818
00:35:56,888 --> 00:35:58,515
so your second arsonist
819
00:35:58,682 --> 00:36:00,225
is setting traps
for firefighters.
820
00:36:00,350 --> 00:36:01,935
Which doesn't fit Ethan.
821
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:03,603
He's trying to impress Jake,
822
00:36:03,728 --> 00:36:05,397
and the E.L.M., and his peers.
823
00:36:05,564 --> 00:36:07,482
Doesn't that give us only half
the team?
824
00:36:07,607 --> 00:36:09,526
Yeah, well,
he ain't talking, so...
825
00:36:10,193 --> 00:36:12,737
Because he wants
to take full credit for this.
826
00:36:12,904 --> 00:36:16,199
He doesn't understand what
he's taking credit for is murder.
827
00:36:16,741 --> 00:36:18,076
Why did you bring me back here?
828
00:36:18,201 --> 00:36:19,327
MEGAN:
Because I want the truth.
829
00:36:19,452 --> 00:36:21,121
I already told you the truth.
830
00:36:21,371 --> 00:36:23,123
You only told me part of it.
831
00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:26,167
You think this makes you cool?
832
00:36:26,334 --> 00:36:28,420
You think this is gonna make
other people look up to you?
833
00:36:28,545 --> 00:36:30,213
Look, I told you everything
I'm gonna tell you.
834
00:36:30,380 --> 00:36:31,423
Yeah.
835
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:34,092
That's why I brought
someone here for you to talk to.
836
00:36:38,013 --> 00:36:39,514
What are you doing here?
837
00:36:39,764 --> 00:36:41,433
They told me what was going on.
838
00:36:42,232 --> 00:36:44,610
Well, thanks for coming down,
but I got it under control.
839
00:36:44,769 --> 00:36:46,563
- I don't think so, dude.
- I don't care what you think.
840
00:36:46,730 --> 00:36:48,189
I think maybe you do care.
841
00:36:48,315 --> 00:36:50,734
I think maybe you care too much
what I think.
842
00:36:50,942 --> 00:36:52,444
Don't flatter yourself, Jake.
843
00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:54,946
You know, sometimes,
you can be a real jerk, Ethan.
844
00:36:55,113 --> 00:36:57,282
You have any idea what it's like
to be around a kid
845
00:36:57,407 --> 00:37:00,201
who thinks he knows
everything and usually does?
846
00:37:00,402 --> 00:37:02,654
This guy you're protecting?
He used you, Ethan.
847
00:37:02,787 --> 00:37:05,373
He wanted your engineering skills to
help him create more elaborate fires.
848
00:37:05,457 --> 00:37:06,666
I don't know
what you're talking about.
849
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:08,418
Don't lie to them anymore,
Ethan.
850
00:37:08,543 --> 00:37:11,296
You set it up for me to meet him
in Glendale, remember?
851
00:37:17,427 --> 00:37:19,012
Dude, he wants to kill people.
852
00:37:19,116 --> 00:37:20,036
You're wrong.
853
00:37:20,096 --> 00:37:21,681
What happened to that salesman
was an accident.
854
00:37:21,806 --> 00:37:24,476
When have you ever made an
accident in engineering, Ethan?
855
00:37:24,601 --> 00:37:27,228
I mean, come on, you had to have
some idea what this guy was doing.
856
00:37:27,354 --> 00:37:29,397
You wanted to join
the E.L.M., right?
857
00:37:29,522 --> 00:37:31,816
You wanted us all to think that you
could handle what we're all about.
858
00:37:31,941 --> 00:37:33,276
Then show me now
you can handle it,
859
00:37:33,401 --> 00:37:34,694
and tell them
what they want to know.
860
00:37:35,070 --> 00:37:37,947
There are six firefighters
in a hospital,
861
00:37:38,073 --> 00:37:39,908
fighting for their lives.
862
00:37:42,077 --> 00:37:43,578
Dude, it's okay.
863
00:37:50,543 --> 00:37:51,961
( sighs )
864
00:37:52,212 --> 00:37:53,838
I don't know his name.
865
00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:56,424
We only talked online.
866
00:37:56,549 --> 00:37:58,635
MEGAN: Then give me your
password to your second screen name,
867
00:37:58,802 --> 00:38:00,637
and we can trace him
from your account.
868
00:38:02,055 --> 00:38:03,098
Ethan,
869
00:38:03,223 --> 00:38:06,518
you have to help us find him
before he hurts someone else.
870
00:38:11,231 --> 00:38:13,942
I've got a line
on the kid's ISP,
871
00:38:14,275 --> 00:38:17,737
which is giving me a back trace
to his chat room buddy.
872
00:38:18,196 --> 00:38:20,031
Links up to a computer
873
00:38:20,156 --> 00:38:21,991
at 200 Anaheim Street.
874
00:38:22,117 --> 00:38:23,493
DON: Anaheim Street.
Where's that?
875
00:38:23,618 --> 00:38:25,745
Station 117 firehouse.
876
00:38:25,912 --> 00:38:27,205
LAFD.
877
00:38:27,372 --> 00:38:29,791
Specifically,
the Arson Investigation Squad.
878
00:38:29,916 --> 00:38:31,459
How do you know that?
879
00:38:31,793 --> 00:38:33,586
Remember I said
that the one fireprint
880
00:38:33,712 --> 00:38:36,021
linked 17 fires over 5 years.
881
00:38:36,154 --> 00:38:37,044
Yeah.
882
00:38:37,177 --> 00:38:39,801
Guess who investigated all 17
of those fires?
883
00:38:40,343 --> 00:38:41,469
Stevens.
884
00:38:41,594 --> 00:38:44,055
Perfect -- he sets fires he knows
he's going to investigate.
885
00:38:44,180 --> 00:38:45,682
Yeah, because it's easy
to look smart
886
00:38:45,807 --> 00:38:47,350
when you know everything
about the fire.
887
00:38:47,475 --> 00:38:49,310
Because you're the one
who set it.
888
00:38:49,436 --> 00:38:51,479
He was using me all along.
889
00:38:51,604 --> 00:38:53,398
MEGAN: Serial arsonists
have a driving need
890
00:38:53,523 --> 00:38:55,066
to prove they're smarter
than everyone else.
891
00:38:55,233 --> 00:38:57,485
Stevens applied for the Los
Angeles Fire Department
892
00:38:57,652 --> 00:39:00,321
eight years ago,
and didn't pass the screening.
893
00:39:00,447 --> 00:39:01,698
He got a job at a smaller city
894
00:39:01,823 --> 00:39:03,366
and then worked his way
back to L.A.
895
00:39:03,491 --> 00:39:05,326
We got two teams
up at Stevens's house.
896
00:39:05,452 --> 00:39:07,787
CHP, PD, and Sheriff's
Department have all been alerted,
897
00:39:07,954 --> 00:39:09,247
but there's no sign
of his car yet.
898
00:39:09,372 --> 00:39:11,124
Megan,
do you think he's the type to run?
899
00:39:11,249 --> 00:39:13,918
No. He's enjoyed this too much
to let it end with a ride to Mexico --
900
00:39:14,043 --> 00:39:15,378
he's gonna need
to teach us a lesson.
901
00:39:15,503 --> 00:39:18,673
Every fire he set required days,
really even weeks of planning.
902
00:39:18,798 --> 00:39:20,633
Plus, he definitely saw us
talking at that last fire,
903
00:39:20,759 --> 00:39:21,801
so he knows we're close.
904
00:39:21,926 --> 00:39:23,428
Which makes him dangerous
and in a hurry.
905
00:39:23,595 --> 00:39:25,638
He was going to meet Jake
at the Glendale development.
906
00:39:25,764 --> 00:39:27,390
COLBY:
That's right -- now, why there?
907
00:39:27,515 --> 00:39:29,601
- Unless he's planning a strike.
- Yeah. All right, you come with me.
908
00:39:29,726 --> 00:39:33,104
We need tactical and fire prevention
units up to Verdugo Ridge, ASAP!
909
00:39:33,229 --> 00:39:34,105
MEGAN:
Okay.
910
00:39:34,230 --> 00:39:35,732
I don't see why he needed Ethan.
911
00:39:35,899 --> 00:39:37,942
He wanted bigger
and deadlier fires, Charlie.
912
00:39:38,067 --> 00:39:40,236
Ethan's engineering skills
could help him do that.
913
00:39:40,361 --> 00:39:43,656
By pretending that he needed my
help with the arson investigations.
914
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:45,241
He did need your help, Charlie.
915
00:39:45,408 --> 00:39:49,120
Serial killers will often contact
the police if an investigation stalls.
916
00:39:49,245 --> 00:39:50,705
They know they're going
to keep hurting people.
917
00:39:50,872 --> 00:39:52,234
They want someone to stop them.
918
00:39:52,457 --> 00:39:53,500
May I?
919
00:39:54,167 --> 00:39:55,376
You did good.
920
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,479
( tires screeching )
921
00:40:36,125 --> 00:40:37,418
Stevens!
922
00:40:39,504 --> 00:40:41,005
Stevens, it's over!
923
00:40:41,130 --> 00:40:42,340
You hear me?!
924
00:40:42,465 --> 00:40:44,509
MEGAN: We know what happened
to you eight years ago.
925
00:40:44,676 --> 00:40:48,304
We know that the Los Angeles
Fire Department turned you down.
926
00:40:51,766 --> 00:40:53,852
STEVENS:
They said I wasn't good enough.
927
00:40:54,686 --> 00:40:56,187
MEGAN:
I understand.
928
00:40:58,147 --> 00:41:00,900
We know better -- we know
what you're capable of.
929
00:41:04,247 --> 00:41:05,998
- Paul.
- White phosphorous.
930
00:41:06,155 --> 00:41:08,575
- If this hits the air, it explodes.
- Okay.
931
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:10,326
Kind of fire that really
makes an impression.
932
00:41:10,451 --> 00:41:11,786
Okay, let's just take it easy.
933
00:41:11,911 --> 00:41:14,122
- Okay? Paul, just listen to me.
- Back up.
934
00:41:14,247 --> 00:41:15,373
- Paul?
- Back up!
935
00:41:15,498 --> 00:41:16,416
I'm backing up.
936
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:17,876
- Everybody back up.
- Slowly.
937
00:41:18,001 --> 00:41:19,168
We're backing up -- just relax.
938
00:41:19,294 --> 00:41:20,587
Trust me, I know
what I'm talking about.
939
00:41:20,753 --> 00:41:21,796
Let's just talk.
940
00:41:21,963 --> 00:41:22,881
Paul, don't.
941
00:41:23,006 --> 00:41:24,048
Whatever you're thinking,
don't do it.
942
00:41:24,173 --> 00:41:25,008
I'm getting out of here.
943
00:41:25,174 --> 00:41:26,801
- Don't do it!
- Ow!
944
00:41:45,820 --> 00:41:47,697
( grunts ):
Damn it.
945
00:41:47,822 --> 00:41:49,324
Dad, Dad, Dad.
946
00:41:49,449 --> 00:41:50,950
- Oh, boy.
- Hey, guys.
947
00:41:51,075 --> 00:41:52,535
What, you got,
plumbing problems again?
948
00:41:52,660 --> 00:41:54,954
More like one of Charlie's
hands-on investigations.
949
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:56,915
I used the shower
for a standpipe.
950
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,917
Now we're having a hard time
un-using it.
951
00:41:59,042 --> 00:42:00,501
Hey, that kid took
a plea bargain.
952
00:42:00,627 --> 00:42:02,170
He did? How many years.
953
00:42:02,629 --> 00:42:03,922
Three years.
954
00:42:04,047 --> 00:42:06,424
Boy, one wrong decision,
his whole life's almost ruined.
955
00:42:06,549 --> 00:42:07,425
Yeah.
956
00:42:07,550 --> 00:42:08,885
Well, sometimes,
that's all it takes.
957
00:42:09,052 --> 00:42:11,012
CHARLIE: You know,
I know what it's like to be that kid.
958
00:42:11,137 --> 00:42:14,015
I wished that I was
a normal college kid sometimes.
959
00:42:14,117 --> 00:42:15,785
Kind of tough when
you're still in puberty.
960
00:42:15,892 --> 00:42:17,060
ALAN:
Yeah, well, I'm sure
961
00:42:17,185 --> 00:42:18,603
there were plenty of kids
who wished they were you.
962
00:42:18,728 --> 00:42:20,772
Uh, during midterms, certainly.
963
00:42:21,439 --> 00:42:23,566
At keg parties, absolutely not.
964
00:42:23,691 --> 00:42:25,360
How about at shop class?
965
00:42:25,485 --> 00:42:26,486
What do you mean?
966
00:42:26,611 --> 00:42:27,820
I mean, how about
we call a plumber?
967
00:42:27,904 --> 00:42:29,822
Dad, I can...
give me the wrench.
968
00:42:29,948 --> 00:42:31,908
- Give me it.
- You can't do it.
969
00:42:32,116 --> 00:42:33,952
And we're sending
the bill to the FBI.
970
00:42:34,035 --> 00:42:35,578
Here, give it to me, I'll do it.
971
00:42:38,081 --> 00:42:39,540
- Here.
- All right.
972
00:42:39,624 --> 00:42:41,584
- Come on, put your hand on this valve.
- Okay.
973
00:42:41,709 --> 00:42:42,919
( grunting )
Okay.
974
00:42:43,009 --> 00:42:45,053
I'm telling you this, if the toilet goes,
you're on your own.
975
00:42:45,129 --> 00:42:46,464
- Just hold it.
- Oh...
976
00:42:46,506 --> 00:42:47,674
- Just hold it.
- Ow. That's my hand.
977
00:42:47,736 --> 00:42:48,787
- All right.
- That's my finger!
978
00:42:48,812 --> 00:42:49,938
Ow!
