(indistinct,
overlapping chatter)

(utensils clinking)

(indistinct conversations,
soft music playing)

Hey!

Wallets, purses, cell phones,
everything on the table.

If you hold back, you get shot.

Do it, do it now!

Too slow! Rapido!

Don't think. Do it!

(cell phone beeps)

Everything on the table.

I'll shoot you in the face.

Don't look at me.

(man grunts, patrons scream)

LAPD!
Don't move!

Drop the weapon.

Put your hands in the air.

Now!

(speaks Spanish)

(gun thuds onto floor)

Put your hands in the air.

Tranquilo.

(people screaming and shouting)

Vamonos. Rapido!

Let's go, let's go.

Stay seated.

You move, you die.

(yelling in Spanish)

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

(classical music playing)

(indistinct chatter)

This is a disaster.

This tux is very...

It's very itchy.

Stop whining.

As promised, you look
like James Bond. You do.

My circle-circle tangent joke
went right over the senator's head.

Come on. External similitude
humor isn't for everybody.

I laughed my head off.

Millie, I'm no fundraiser...

No, but you know what you are?

You're a fund magnet, all right?

Your five minutes
with the senator

raised us a quarter
of a million dollar grant.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- That's not too bad.
- It's fantastic.

Are you kidding?

That's five new jobs
in five minutes, all right?

That is a real victory.

Listen, these lobbyists,
these politicians, all right?

They don't want to understand
what they're funding.

They could care less.

They're bored.
They want to be impressed.

You are so impressive.

You're the one
and only Charlie Eppes --

more dazzling in person

than your legendary name
would suggest.

- Legendary.
- Don't go too far.

You just keep doing
what you're doing.

You reel them in, and I will
seal the deals, all right?

In astronomical terms,
it's called syzygy.

It's where all of the planets
are in perfect alignment.

You, me...
(phone ringing)

...and a room full of money
for the university.

- What?
- Hey, Don.

Well, I-I'm kind of in the
middle of something right now.

Oh.

Yeah. Okay.

I'll be right there.

I'm sorry.

This is really important.

Could have guessed.
I understand.

See you.

OFFICER: No way to predict where
they go next.

COLBY: All right,
yeah, I understand.

Well, listen,
this is Agent Eppes.

- Why don't you brief him?
- Hey. How you doing?

Uh, well, uh, we were chasing
a pattern robbery.

Two guys, in masks,
with body armor, in and out

of upscale restaurants
in under ten minutes.

COLBY: They were grabbing purses,
wallets, cell phones.

No jewelry,
never touched the register.

They've been hitting
all over the Valley.

No way to predict
where they'd go next.

We had to split up.

Two-man spotter teams
in a dozen restaurants

with Rapid Deployment Teams
waiting for the signal.

What, they didn't call it in?

They did.

We weren't fast enough.

I screwed up.

Bad plan, bad intel.

(sighing)
I got these guys killed.

All right, Jim, you just got to
give yourself a break, all right?

Give yourself some air here.

You didn't get
anyone killed, all right?

Just give us
a minute, all right?

All right.

So the, uh, witnesses said

that the officers
ID'd themselves.

They were able
to disarm the robbers,

but then two customers over here

popped up with handguns
and opened fire.

And they collected their
bullet casings before they left.

So, what, they come in,
they scope it out,

they signal the other two...

Don.

Nice. Very, uh..

James Bond.

No.

Yeah, no, I didn't
think so, either.

So, two police
officers were hurt.

They were killed, actually,
in a robbery here.

There have been eight
restaurant robberies,

all at upscale places.

Hmm.
This is pretty spread out.

I mean, I can tell you that no
geographic pattern jumps out at me.

Maybe with more data
on methods and times...

DON: What about those bank
robberies you predicted? Remember?

Was that the time you got shot?

Yeah.

I mean, they killed two cops
here, you know?

So, needless to say, we'd like
to shut these guys down

before they hit again.

I'll find them for you.

MEGAN: So, we went
through the reservations.

The inside couple used
a fake name, bogus number.

Yeah. Well,
go figure.

But I went back, and I cross-checked
it with the other robberies.

I figured, you know,
if they're part of the M.O.,

maybe they screwed up
somewhere --

they used the same name,
or the same phone number.

Right. And?

And they didn't screw up.
I have nothing.

(clears throat)

Getting anywhere
with the profiles?

Three guys and one girl.

It really could be any number
of dynamics, so...

unless a witness can remember
something other than big guns

- and Hispanic accents, um...
- Right.

COLBY: Think we know why
they're taking the cell phones.

DAVID: Victims can't cancel their
credit cards before they're maxed out.

They've been getting
over 60 grand a hit.

How are they burning
the cards so fast?

They're doing it online.

Uh, victims are being charged
for big ticket items:

plasma TVs, hotel reservations.

Right. Well, what about
tracing the goods?

COLBY: Well, that's the thing.
There aren't any goods.

They're setting up these
dummy Internet corporations,

they're running the charges,

and then shutting them down
the next day.

That's money laundering
in the new millennium.

Yeah. So I got our techs
on the service providers.

See if we can get some names,
find out who's building the sites,

and where the money's going.

Wait. You remember that guy?

Uh, what was the name,
Ricky Jones?

He was hitting all those
Beverly Hills jewelry stores,

and they were leaving the gold and
taking the... the customers' credit cards?

I know what you're talking about.
I'll reach out to him.

MEGAN: You know, I still believe
most criminals are not perfect at first.

You know, they make mistakes,
they leave

evidence behind.

And now that we know the M.O.'s,
maybe we should go back and look

at those first robberies again.

Yeah.

Why-Why don't you guys go, huh?

Sweet.

FBI's paying for lunch.

(quiet laugh)

No.

No...

Moron.

That's absolutely incorrect.

Makes no sense whatso...

- (gasps)
- Oh!

I'm sorry.

(laughing)
I didn't mean to startle you.

- (gasps)
- In Antarctica, we're used

to doing everything
very quietly.

It's like a-a big
library with penguins.

Sorry about leaving last night.

Oh, no.
Don't be.

Actually, the school made out
very well.

You made us a lot of dough.
Thank you.

Oh, yeah?

Interesting analysis, huh?

Yeah. Used it a couple years ago
to predict bank robberies,

but it's not quite lending
itself to the current problem

as easily as I'd hoped.

You know -- and don't take this
as a criticism, but...

- Is it criticism?
- Yes.

- Okay then.
- A couple months ago,

I read about the system used
to differentiate

between institutional
targets -- you know,

like banks and stuff --
and civilian targets -- like a...

- Like restaurants?
- Yeah.

Wait. Are-are you...

Are you talking about Homeland
Security's threat matrix?

Yeah.

I think it might serve your
purposes a bit better.

Yeah, there was an article
about a year ago.

- Mm-hmm.
- It was this one.

(laughs)

How did you know?

I don't know.

How'd I know?
Let's see.

You run off
to help the FBI, and, uh,

I read an article about two
police officers being killed.

My advanced math degree allows
me to put two plus two together.

Professor... Millie, thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, and after you left,

I spoke to a couple lobbyists
from MacMillan Pharmaceuticals.

Apparently, they're looking for a
reason to dump their excess riches

into our humble coffers.

- A reason...
- Mm-hmm.

- Such as...?
- Oh, I don't know.

Maybe having one of the world's
greatest minds as point man

on their new pharmacokinetic
modeling project.

Talking about me? My mind?

Now, you know, they just require
a little dazzling.

No tuxedo required.

Okay. Just set it up,
and I'll-I'll be there.

Great. Done.

You know, Sinclair,
every time you pull me out

to pick my brain,
my credibility drops.

Well, yeah, you have cred,

and you have good word
with the parole board.

You have a choice, brother.

Well, you're not looking local.

I don't know of any crews
that ambush cops.

You think it was an ambush?

Oh, hell, yeah.

This type of work
attracts two kinds --

the ones that are about money,

and the ones that
are about violence.

If it's about money,
you might hit somebody,

show him his own blood,

but you don't pull the trigger.

All that gets is more panic
and less time to get clear.

Okay, so you think these guys --

this-this crew --
they're about violence.

No.

I don't think so, no.

They're not wild enough.

Ricky, dude, help me out, man.

You're doing business.

Suddenly there's cops
everywhere you want to be.

Most people in my line of work
will either lay low or move on,

but these guys

decided to send you a statement.

You think they're trying
to back us off by killing cops?

Who'd be dumb enough
to think that?

I don't know,

but they're a
different kind of crazy.

- (door opening)
- Hey.

Thanks. Hey.
How's it going?

Oh, I don't know.

Um, how'd it go at the
restaurant? You find anything?

Just an overdone steak.

The owner said these
guys knew the layout,

'cause they clipped the
wires to the security camera.

MEGAN: If there was a learning
curve, it was somewhere else.

All she could remember
were Spanish accents --

one so heavy she could
barely understand him.

COLBY:
Yeah, they knew their guns,

they maintained discipline,
policed their brass.

I'm thinking it's possible they
might have been ex-military.

Right, and this guy says that
they were sending us a message.

You know, soldiers from an
unstable political environment

would be more likely to go
head-to-head with authority figures.

- Right, and the accents.
- Yeah.

I mean, we've trained a lot

of Central and South American
Special Forces over the years.

It could have been a group
up here on a rotation,

and they got the lay
of the land,

and then decided that robbery
pays better than soldiering.

Sure. Why don't you run with
that, see what we get?

Okay.

All right...

Um, I saw your envelope.
From Trauma Recovery.

I got the same thing last month.

- It's on the spree killing?
- Yeah. It's ridiculous.

I mean, you, know, the Review
Board already cleared me.

Yeah, but, you know,
the thing about therapy --

if you put a little bit in,
you get a lot out.

Yeah, well, the guy better sign
the thing and get me out of there.

CHARLIE: This threat matrix
isn't quite right yet.

It's set to predict
the unpredictable --

terrorist attacks --

but robberies, they're...

they have their own unique set
of characteristics, you know?

Why did you start out with the
threat matrix to begin with?

It was Millie's suggestion.

Oh.

So after all that kicking
and screaming about the tuxedo,

it sounds like you guys
did some bonding.

Yeah, I mean, I have to say,
it wasn't so bad, you know?

I mean, you dazzle them
with a little Pythagorean wit

and their checkbooks crack open.

I'll tell you, if we can get this MacMillan
pharmacokinetic modeling project,

well, who knows what else the...

MacMillan Pharmaceuticals?

Yeah.

What?

I mean, they have a reputation
for exploiting Third World countries.

They'll charge $500 for a vial of
AIDS serum that costs 50 cents.

I didn't know that.

I'll talk to Millie about it.

I think that would be wise.

What's missing here?
Something's missing here.

I don't know.

Uh, food?

Where are those menus?

Right.

(drawer sliding)

(paper rustling)

That's it.

Hey, Dave, did you find
anything on the money trail?

Yeah.

I followed the phony web site
and credit card charges

back to an anonymous offshore
bank account in Nauru.

Nauru?

A small island in
the South Pacific.

Bank's refused to cooperate
unless we can prove

that specific deposits
came from a felony.

We can't point
to specific deposits

if they won't let us
look at the accounts.

And that particular Catch-22

has made the small
island of Nauru

a favorite financial center for
all kinds of high-end lowlifes.

That's great.

Yeah, I came up empty
on the ex-military angle, too.

Seems over the past 30 years,
we've been a foreign exchange

program for just about
every country south of Texas.

Trained paramilitary groups,
special forces --

as soon as the country turns
or the army stops paying...

A lot of unemployed soldiers
who need work.

All right.

Maybe Charlie could help us
narrow down the list.

So Amita and I

adapted Homeland Security's
threat matrix

to examine these eight robberies

by target, time,
location and security.

We came up with this list
of similar targets.

Then we went even further,

evaluating the restaurants
in terms of architecture

and access to
fast escape routes.

It looks pretty much
like the LAPD's list.

Right, so I figured
I was on the right path,

but set theory
wasn't really working,

so then I applied
multidimensional graph Laplacians

and PageRank matrices...

Yeah, that's what
I would've done, too.

Well, of course you would've

because that's a way
to investigate a group of things

and identify
their shared properties, right?

Think about a refrigerator

stocked with groceries --
a steak, wine, apples, a pie.

Now, each of those items
is unique

and can be purchased
at several different stores,

but more likely, a family makes
a single shopping trip.

You figured out where the robbers
are shopping for their targets?

Simon's L.A. Restaurant Guide.

Yeah. The eight restaurants
they attacked

scored 93% or higher
on food quality and price.

Cost I get -- these guys, they're
after the fattest credit cards.

And the higher the food scores,
the trendier restaurant,

the fattest credit cards.

Then we used those variables
to narrow it down even further.

So you think one of these
restaurants is their next target?

Right, and you can't cover
all 15, so...

this site
has the highest probability.

(overlapping chatter)

Go, go, go.

Move, move.

(speaking Spanish)

Wallets, purses, cell phones.

(patrons screaming)
On the table now!

Now!

Everything goes in the bag.

If you hold back,

you'll get shot.

(phones ringing)

DAVID: Three guns through the
front door.

These guys didn't even bother
with the couple in the back this time.

Double tap.

So it looks like an execution.

They killed two cops
to get away last time.

Wonder what this guy did?

Could be trying to send
us a message, you know.

Third World countries,
paramilitaries and drug gangs,

they'll execute civilians just
to warn the local authorities

if they don't back off,
they got to expect more bodies.

Yeah, well,
it ain't going to work here.

CHARLIE: They didn't hit the
most likely location.

DAVID: Charlie,
you got the date and time right, man,

you just missed the exact place
where they were going to hit, that's all.

No, no, I actually
missed something else.

Look, this place barely showed
up on my threat matrix.

If I'm off by
this large a margin,

there is no way I can
pinpoint these attacks.

All right, Charlie,
just relax, okay?

First of all, it's not
your fault, you know?

Just keep working
and do your thing.

I mean, come here,
don't worry about it.

MEGAN: The State Department
had no luck with Nauru.

Their courts turned down our
application for bank records.

Island's whole economy
is pinned on banking.

These guys are just
protecting their asset.

Yeah, but they're making
our life so difficult,

'cause with no account information,
we have no identifiers.

There's no way to trace
back to the killers.

Well, try Treasury.

I mean, we've shut down
offshores before.

We just need a soft spot,
someone in L.A. we can pressure.

You have a thing
with the psychologist?

Yeah.

I know this is just
an appointment for you.

Okay. But?

But you never know what's going
to happen till you walk in that door.

Think I need help?

I don't think they've made
the person yet who doesn't.

(scoffing)
This is a waste of time.

CHARLIE:
Millie.

Hey.

Oh. Professor Eppes.

What can I do for you?

Oh. How goes
your threat matrixing?

It didn't work.

Really?

Oh, wow. I thought
it was a good approach.

Yeah, I know;
so did I...

What do you know about
MacMillan Pharmaceuticals?

MacMillan. Oh, well,

I know that their
pharmacokinetic modeling

could save the
lives of the -- what --

16,000 people
who overdose on simple,

over-the-counter painkillers
every year.

That's what I know.

Well, did you know that drug
companies exploit Third World countries.

They sell them overpriced
and expired medication...

Look, these companies, they're
not demons, they're not angels.

They are profit-seeking
concerns --

some better than others,
some not so great.

It just seems to me
that it should be as important

to know where the money's been
as where it's going.

I've done my homework,
Charlie, thank you.

As corporations go,
I would characterize them

as relatively responsible now.

Relative?

Yeah.

Relative to what?

See?
I should've known better

than to try to get that word
past a fellow math geek, huh?

Touché.

Have a seat.

No, I have the originals.

So...

Look, is there
some kind of problem?

There's not a problem.

FBI just wanted us to talk.

What about?

Anything.

Look, I don't hate my dad,
all right?

I like women, I respect them
as people,

I don't get off
on pulling my gun.

What else do you want
to talk about?

How do you feel
when you pull your gun?

(scoffing)
Give me a break.

You brought it up.

Listen...

Yes, I shot Crystal Hoyle,

a spree killer
who kidnapped one of my agents

and was driving straight
at a roadblock

with a car full of grenades.

There was a trained sniper
on the scene.

An Agent, uh... Edgerton.

Why do you think
he didn't take the shot?

Well, uh, 'cause
I took the shot first.

Because you're a better shot?

- No.
- Oh, well, I don't get it.

Let me tell you
something, all right?

Every single day,
I have to make decisions

that affect a lot
of people's lives.

Now, I don't expect you
to understand that.

I expect you to just
sign this document

and let me get back to my job,
please, sir.

Why do you think I wouldn't
understand what you do?

'Cause it's not a textbook.

If you're not in it,
it's impossible to explain.

Well, I wasn't in the FBI.

Yeah, well...

But I was undercover narcotics
in East L.A.

I did two years
on a CRASH team in Compton, too.

Well, you know, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that.

No, you didn't.

You're gonna walk in here
with no respect for my work,

expecting me to respect yours.

No, man, that's not it.
It's just...

Thing is, I'm hung over,
and I'm hungry,

and you are my last session
before lunch,

and I was ready to run through
a half dozen routine questions,

listen to your routine answers,
and walk you out that door,

and now I don't know.

(phone ringing)

You got to take that?

(phone beeps off)

No, I don't.

So, I hear that, uh,
you and Millie had a, uh,

philosophical discussion
about ends and means?

What, do you and Millie just
talk about me a lot?

You're a very interesting topic,
Charlie.

Yeah, so, what do you think...
about MacMillan Pharmaceuticals?

- What do you think?
- Oh.

Commerce versus ethics, huh?

You know, I spent 30 years
dealing with that very subject,

and I still don't have
a good answer,

and I wouldn't trust anyone
that said they did.

But if budget's not important,

then you can judge a project
on any grounds you want --

you know, morals, ethics.

Of course, if I had turned down
all those corporations

with a spotty track record,

a lot of low income housing
would never have been built.

Well, Dad, if I take the money,

then I'm just tacitly approving
of their methods.

I feel if we can turn some of
these giant corporations down,

then we can get them
to change their ways.

Oh, I applaud your idealism,
Charlie.

Got it from you.

Experience has tempered
my activism with pragmatism,

and I would like to think the
wisdom to continually balance the two.

CHARLIE: And which way
do you think this balances out?

I have no idea,

but right now, I'm
just an angry renter,

wondering when his landlord is gonna
send the spider people around again.

You know what?

I have to go.

Uh. Don't worry.

I'll load the laundry.

Hey, where is everybody?

Hey, what do you mean,
they're working.

Hey, look, I know I screwed up.

Come on, hey, Charlie,

look, seriously,
with all you do for us?

Well, my math wasn't wrong,
but my assumptions were wrong.

You know, I assumed that all
the data belonged to the same set.

Right.

I mean, it's like, it's like
searching for a spider or its prey,

by studying its web.

You see, we use tension values
of the silk web,

like vibrations
and weather conditions,

and other variables to reliably
predict where the spider is

and where the next insect is
going to get tangled.

However,
there are some species...

that build overlapping webs.

You see, I was assuming
that only one robbery team

was responsible for
all that data, and that,

that's where I was wrong.

So you're saying it's two teams
working together?

Not together, in tandem.

Right, planning together
but executing separately.

That's all you need to do...

is untangle those webs.

(speaking Spanish)

(shouting, rapid gunfire)

FBI!

DAVID:
What's your name?

What are you doing here?

When did you...

When did you get
in this country?

(over speaker)
You want to play games?

DON (over speaker):
What's your name?

When did you enter the country?

(tapping fingers)

Why are you here?

You can't talk?

Come on, tell me.
Where you from?

When did you sneak
into this country?

We've got to put an end to this.

You want to be in there?

They're clearly trained
in counter interrogation.

Probably by us.

See the way they're sitting,
their body posture,

they're refusing
to make eye contact...

the tapping on the tables --

they're just trying to throw
off the interrogator's rhythm.

We're all operating
off the same manuals.

All right, so, I mean,
nobody's talking, right?

No, we got no hits on Interpol,

we got nothing on
the U.S. database.

They're... ghosts.

And your web thing, you think that's going
to help us find the other team, or no?

No, I doubt it.

By catching one team,

we've already sort of changed
the variables.

If there are more robberies,
then, yeah,

maybe I can revisit
the threat matrix, but...

The minivan they
used wasn't stolen.

The car registration came back
to a Jaime Lopez, deceased.

So it's another dead end?

Nah, not exactly.

In addition to robbing and killing,
our guys are scofflaws.

Four parking tickets on the 900
block of Alvarado in the past five weeks.

And only six houses
on that block are occupied,

and four by families that have
been there 15 years or more.

And one of the other two
houses belongs to this guy --

Bernardo Infante.

MEGAN:
Should that name ring a bell?

Only if you served
in the Mexican Army.

Up until last year, he was a
colonel in the Corps of Military Police.

Now, they regard interrogation
as an art form,

so he would be the guy
to teach you how to resist it.

And what's he doing up here?

Believe it or not, the guy's
an elementary school teacher.

All right, go for it --
shake him up, see what he does.

So what's eating you?

Nothing.

Donny, even for you,
this is taciturn.

I just got to go see this guy.

What guy?

This hard-ass psychologist.

Because of the Hoyle shooting.

You know, like I'm trigger-happy
or something.

Is that what he said?

Basically.

And what did you say?

I don't have time for this crap.

Well, maybe you
ought to make time.

Yeah, well, here we go --
what, you, too?

A) I don't see anything wrong
with talking to someone.

And B) maybe he
ought to understand

that you're the one
that will always take the shot.

Yeah, thank you, you know?

I mean, I was doing my job.

Well, it's also Megan's job,
David's job and Colby's.

It seems like you save
all the dirty jobs for yourself.

Dad, I do what has
to be done, period.

You know, it's not like
I like doing the dirty work.

Don, I've always been proud
of the way

that you shoulder
other people's burdens.

I mean, even when you were a kid
and you sacrificed for Charlie.

But if you're going to
regard your life's work

as just a series of dirty jobs

then I think
it's worth talking about.

I mean, to... someone.

(children shouting,
talking playfully)

Don't.

FBI.

Agent Sinclair.
Agent Granger.

We need you to come downtown
with us right now.

And then?

Just stop moving, Señor Infante.

Don't make another move
toward these kids.

What do you want?

Are these friends of yours?

No, are they friends of yours?

We need you to come downtown.

We want to ask you a few
questions about these people.

Those aren't people.

(woman speaking Spanish)

Death squads?

That's what you
call them here, right?

Men and women who kill
outside the law.

No one kills outside the law.

Well, here, perhaps not.

In Mexico, it's different.

I was a colonel.

I had to watch
these death squads work.

In one village,
they killed every man,

every woman...

and almost every child.

Do you know who the men
in these death squads are?

I know their type.

I trained their type.

Convincing myself
that my only duty

was to be a good soldier
and follow orders.

(sighing)
This village that I mentioned,

three young children survived.

That's six young eyes that
saw the faces behind the masks.

Now, as a soldier,
I had a choice to make.

Turn these children
over to the death squads,

or smuggle them to Los Angeles.

These men followed you
all the way up north,

for the children?

They tried to wring words
from a man who taught silence.

They would have killed me,

but they knew if they did,
my secret would die with me.

They watch me.

Waiting to see
if I make a mistake.

Give over the ones
that they want to kill.

So why the robberies?

In Mexico, they killed farmers
for coins in their cushions,

or gold fillings in their teeth.

But here, they're with those
with real money.

If you trained these men,

did you teach them how how
to launder the money as well?

There are lawyers here
in Los Angeles,

men who you go to when you
need your money cleaned,

to run your operations...

my operations.

We can help keep
the children safe.

You can't keep your own police
safe from these animals.

DON:
This is unbelievable.

All he gives us
is a... a list of lawyers?

He doesn't trust us.

I mean, I don't agree with him,
but I understand him.

Right.

Got a file from the Treasury
on our offshore.

These type of banks require a
legal go-between to open an account.

It's called an Introducer.

What's an Introducer?

It's a fence for rich people.

And for legit offshores,

it's a way of insulating
themselves from dirty money.

What about the ones
that aren't legit?

The ones that funnel stolen credit
card charges from dummy websites?

Well, they still
need an Introducer,

just one that's not so clean.

There's a list of dirty go-betweens
for our offshore in there.

We have a match
to Infante's list.

Yeah?

Luis Salazar.

The DEA suspects he spent the better
part of the '90s laundering drug money.

Contacts with paramilitaries...

The cartels hired him
for their security.

Sounds like the Death
Squads' banker.

Yeah. Does it say
where he is now?

In a penthouse downtown.

Wow, help the cop killers
and live the good life.

Hey, go pick him up.

DAVID:
Luis Salazar!

FBI!
We want to...

Heads up.

Unlocked door at the shady
lawyer's apartment.

It's never a good sign.

The guy needs
to hire a maid service.

Guy needs to hire an arsonist.

David...

I'm no doctor, but I don't think
this guy died in his sleep.

Ballistics matched
the bullets in Salazar's head

to the ones used
to kill the parking valet.

All right, so then how are we
doing on the money trail?

Salazar's murder gave us the wedge
we needed with the offshore bank.

They handed over the transfer
records this morning.

We handed them over
to Charlie this afternoon.

I mean, so that's the thing.

Why kill your bank contact

if you're just going to steal
more credit cards, right?

AMITA:
The stolen credit cards charge

large transactions
through dummy online stores,

who sends the money
to an offshore bank in Nauru.

Right, and then we figure
Don's postulate,

that the money then headed to
Mexico.

Okay.

Okay.

Charlie, there's just too much.

I mean, we can data-stream mine
all day long

and still not find a discernible
pattern in all this muck.

No, I think it-it-it's...

No, we need something else.

We know how much
and where it's going.

And the offshore bank sends
the money into Mexico City,

but you know, we're looking for
a few hundred thousand dollars

out of $40 billion
of identical transfers.

Ah, you're right.

We need something else.

I talked to Millie

and she's set on taking
MacMillan's money.

And you're set against it.

Yeah, well, someone has to be.

I don't know.

I mean, literally,
I do not know.

You both make
such compelling points.

That's the paradox.

It just seems
like everyone's right.

I mean, I just -- still I think
I need to go to that meeting

with my eyes
and my mind wide open.

And what if you don't like
what they have to say?

Well, then Millie's out of luck.

Fair enough.

Since when did you
become my conscience?

Around the same time
we started making out.

ALAN:
Hey, hi, Millie.

I-I was going to cook
for you, you know,

'cause you always cook --
you're such a good cook --

and then I realized
I don't cook.

Ah.

Well, I have been known
to eat an occasional pi --

uh, uh, pi-pizza
once in a while.

Thank you.

No, no, I mean,
thanks for the food.

No, well, thank
you for the haven.

- (chuckles)
- Yeah, well, um...

You know, I really thought
that I was ready for this,

but the politics are killing me.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I mean -- and no offense, but
the geniuses are exhausting.

(chuckles)

Go ahead, tell me about it.

But of, of course I had,
um, a lot of help...

DON:
Hey, Dad.

Hey, where's Charlie?

Oh.

Hi, Millie.

It's all right. Uh, we w -- we were just,
uh, going to have a, uh, a, um...

MILLIE:
Pizza.

Hey, what's happening, man?

So, listen.

Oh, hey, Millie, good.

You know what?
I left you a message.

- I know; I got it, Charlie.
- Listen, I have some concerns.

Can I talk to you one second?

- I have some concerns.
- I know; it's just one second.

- I have serious concerns.
- (mumbles)

I don't think
she's here for you.

- Oh.
- Right? And it, and it --

the thing is broken and I
don't even know how to fix it

and you're the only one
probably, so, uh...

- Oh.
- Thanks.

DON:
We'll just be outside.

Ah... you know what,
it's poetic justice

'cause he walks in on me
and Amita all the time.

Right, look, we just got
to cut him some slack,

I think, you know?

Cut him some slack?

Man, he's dating my
boss, all right?

So I'm allowed to
have my issues.

Ah, I understand.

Hey, look, you can take
my shrink appointment.

- Shrink appointment?
- Yeah.

They're making me see
a therapist.

Are they really?

This post-shooting thing.

- Which shooting?
- (sighs)

I mean, there,
there have been a few.

Don't tell me
you haven't noticed.

What do you mean?
Of course I've noticed.

I mean...

Anywho.

So what's going on
with that money trail?

It's not a trail,
it's a damn river.

Upstream.

- Swimming upstream.
- What?

Wait a minute.
W-What are you talking about?

I gotta go find Amita.

CHARLIE:
Now, even after the bank

in Nauru gave us access
to their accounts,

we still lost track of the money

in the massive transfer
to Mexico.

Most of the money stayed
in Mexico.

In a death squad
retirement plan, I guess.

But some of it had to
return to Los Angeles

to keep the robbers in business.

Okay, so they're living
off the land?

Well, death squads
can't be cheap,

so to find the returning money,

it was a matter
of using an optimization model,

something called
Outlier Detection.

- Oh boy.
- No, no, it's not a big deal

because Charlie helped develop
it for the Treasury Department's

Terrorist Financial
Tracking Program.

Right, you see, at first we
were doing a "brute force" search

in which you cast a net
over a river of information

and you try to catch everything.

Outlier Detection, however,
is target specific.

It's like fly fishing
in the data stream,

choosing a spot by spawning behavior,
selecting the right bait,

a method in which we were able to
cast our rod in the spot we wanted

and catch the exact type
of fish we needed.

Now, knowing
the exact variables --

how much stolen money existed,

the robbery dates, where
the transfer originated from --

we were able to zero in
on seven wire transfers

from Nauru to an
East L.A. wire office.

AMITA: Well, the transfers weren't
exact matches for the numbers or times,

but they fit a general pattern.

To pick up a wire transfer,

you need a driver's
license, right?

Isn't this...

the same woman that David tried
to interrogate?

Yeah, it is.
Her name is Maria Campos.

AFI report from Mexico.

Maria Campos is married
to one Hector Campos.

Ex-Fuerzas Especiales,

did a training program
at Fort Ord in '93.

Supports the ex-military angle,
right?

Yeah, he specialized in
commanding two-team black ops.

It's a family business.

He runs one team, lets
his wife run the other.

It's got to be him.

Trying to kill three kids.

I mean, the border patrol
has him coming up

a couple of months
ago... one way.

Mexican authorities haven't seen him,
no sign of a return,

and Maria Campos gave
the wire transfer office

an address in East L.A.

Colby and David are
on their way over.

Excellent. All right.

Go, go, go!

MAN: Clear.

Smells like gun cleaner.

- Yeah, it's strong, too.
- All clear, sir.

MAN (on radio): Team inside,
no suspects in sight.

5.7 rounds.

Well, that team we took down,
they had a P90, right?

Uh-huh, but they only had one.

We got about 300, 400 rounds
missing out of these boxes.

These guys are all armed up now.

All right, take a look at this.

They got the restaurants
they hit marked in this book

with about half a dozen others.

Oh, have a look at that.

You recognize that?

Is that Infante's school?

Yeah.

These guys have killed
entire villages.

Remember that?

(tires screeching)

(siren wailing)

Run! Run!

Run! Go! Go!

Don't move!

Down!

Run! Go! Go!

(children screaming)

(girl sobbing)

Call the paramedics!

DAVID:
It's okay.

It's okay.
Come here.

DISPATCH: Copy your request for
medical unit.

Rescue ambulance is rolling.

ETA for your location --
five minutes.

- MAN: Professor Eppes.
- Hello.

- A true pleasure to meet you.
- Pleasure to meet you.

MacMillan Pharmaceuticals could
not be happier to have you involved.

Oh, well...

Uh, Mr. Meisner and I were
just finalizing the funding

and clinical trial schedule.

In all honesty, Professor,

I could not see this project
going forward without you.

Mm-hmm, which is why
CalSci will administer

the trials and monitor the
drug every step of the way.

Well, not all.

MacMillan will do
its own in-house trials.

No, uh-uh.

Everything goes through CalSci.

In fact, all the
computational analysis

will be carried out by
Professor Eppes and his staff.

Sorry, that's just
the way we roll here.

(chuckling) I'll have to run
that by my people.

Oh, no, of course;
yeah, run that by...

Oh, and while you're
running stuff by,

run by them that five percent
of the gross of the profits

will go towards a group of
Third World AIDS organizations

that Professors Eppes and Ramanajun
will be putting together for you.

Uh, five percent?

Gross, not net.

We barely have a
profit margin as it is.

(chuckling) Mr. Meisner,

a pharmaceutical company
with no profit margin?

Come on.

I can't agree to that.

Sure you can.

You can if you want the
participation of Professor Eppes.

Isn't that right, Professor?

That's right.

(sighs)

Oh, relax,
Mr. Meisner.

95% of one of the world's
greatest mathematical minds

is worth a whole lot more
than 100% of nothing.

I'll call you.

Pleasure. Thank you, sir.

(sighs)

What just happened here?

Well, you made my life a little more
difficult and a lot more interesting.

Well, I pretty much can say
the same thing about you.

Yeah?

Hey.

Agent Eppes.

♪ ...if I shall be released... ♪

You got any, uh, time,
by any chance?

Uh, well, if you don't mind
hanging out for a while,

I'll shake loose ten
minutes and sign you off.

No, well, I mean,

I was kind of hoping
for a little more than that.

I'm pretty booked today.

I mean, just a half hour
would be great.

You know, I'll hang out
or whatever you want.

You gotta take that?

Nah.
