CHARLIE: Bank robbers are
creatures of habit.

Once they develop a successful
routine, they stick to it.

Time of day, day of the week,
choice of weapon, disguise,

region-- these will be
the same again and again.

It's actually
a lot like these fish.

Given enough time,

it's possible to discern
a distinct pattern

that each one will follow.

Well, mathematicians,
they do so love

finding these
patterns, don't they?

Tell me,
what have you gleaned

from this set
of repeated crime phenomena?

An equation, for the FBI,

that predicts when and where

these two particular robbers
will strike next.

I told my brother,
they'd hit today...

Curtis, you see anything?

Clear.

Keith?

Clear.

CHARLIE:
...at one of two locations...

They've hit 16 banks
in eight months.

The FBI's nicknamed them
the Charm School Boys

because they're
so nice and polite.

They don't use
weapons or threats.

They say "please"
and "thank you."

They even open doors
for other bank customers

on their way in and out.

Using a combination
of probability modeling

and statistical analysis, I've
pinpointed the next robbery.

It's 1:30.

If these guys actually show

within the time window
Charlie's predicted,

it's kind of amazing.

Yeah, I know.

DON:
Want to hear something wild?

When I was in college,
I played baseball.

Charlie could predict
the amount of walks

I was gonna get
just by my stance.

Charles, I have no doubt
in your ability

to predict the movements
of fish and men,

but I would offer
one cautionary note,

just colleague
to colleague.

And what's that?

Don't mistake
the ability to predict

with the ability to control.

Yeah, I think
I know the difference.

Oh, to be young and brilliant
and full of yourself.

Just consider.

These Charm School Guys
or Boys or whatever,

they have no idea
what's about to happen to them.

But my equation does.

I have the targets.

Positive ID?

Two Caucasian males,
mid- to late 30s.

Baseball cap and sunglasses.

I'm on my way. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

Team Two Baker. You got 'em?

Got 'em.

Teller number three.

We're moving.

Everybody watch

your line.

Subject One
is asking the teller

to hand him the cash drawer.

They're coming out.

David, what's your status?

They're coming out, Don.

We have to move in.

DON:
Go.

FBI!

FBI!

F! B! I!

( gunfire )

TERRY:
David, how many shooters?

All units, what's going on?!

Shots fired!

Multiple shooters!

Agent down!

( gunfire )

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

to predict weather...

to tell time...

to handle money...

Math is more than formulas and
equations.

It's logic.

It's rationality.

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

( tires screeching, gunfire )

( people screaming )

Get down! Get down!

Stay small!

Get back! Get back!

Get back!

You all right?

Cover me.

( gunfire )

Whatta you got?

Agent down!

I'm gonna go for McKnight.

You cover me with this,
all right?

This is a live breaking report
from the Channel 8 News...

I also have a post-doc
who needs help

with some references
on an article.

Maybe you can recommend
a couple of math students?

Well, wait.
Let's clarify.

This is the
redheaded post-doc?

Red hair and she
rollerblades?

Yeah, you know.
Brilliant theoretician.

Well, forget
the undergrads.

I'll help her.

...injured in the crossfire,
where a shootout

between Federal agents and
suspected bank robbers

is in progress.

I see several people are lying
on the ground...

Ray!

Move!

They're covering
their exit! Terry!

Go.

Ray.

Move!

( gunfire )

( gunfire )

Get your hands
where I can see them!

Get those hands up!

Freeze! Don't Move!

Drop that radio!
Drop it!

I got two suspects

fleeing in a silver sedan,
license...

OFFICER ( on radio ): ...in
progress, eight-year-old female.

All available units
please respond.

Uh, this is 1-Adam-6.

Shouldn't we secure the area
before we pull out?

They're in our system.

They're in our
communications system.

They're making false reports.

Any available unit,
report to...

Secure the area!

Went that way!
Come on, come on!

You hit?

He's got my gun!

( groans )

- Go that way.
- You hit?

Go that way!

Where'd he go?

I mean, how could we miss him?

This is an active crime scene,
do you understand?

Do you understand?

I asked five
minutes ago and...

Stop right there.

It, it's okay. Let him through.

Charlie.

Charlie?

Charlie?

Where is Don?

He's over there.

Hey. Hey, Charlie,
how you doing?

It's okay, really.

It's fine.

They weren't violent.

There were two of them.

Why 16 robberies
exactly the same,

and then this?

I mean, first of all, nobody
ever tried to stop them, right?

And it wasn't just two guys.

You know, they had four backing
them up. Yeah. We had

no way of knowing

till we
confronted them.

That's it.
You're good to go.

Nothing to Dad,
right?

Charlie.

Don't say anything to Dad.

I'll take care of it, okay?

You heard me,
right?

Charm School Boys.

I mean, I'm sorry, they
came prepared for war.

DAVID:
We've got people looking

at the security tapes
from the previous robberies

to see if the same accomplices

were present at those
incidents as well.

And there's no doubt
in my mind

that was a detailed
ambush-and-escape plan.

And didn't hesitate to kill.

( sighs )

Well, from what I understand,
in the last five years,

this office has lost
only two agents

- in the line of fire?
- Mm-hmm.

McKnight's parents are
flying in from Denver tonight.

I'm gonna go talk to them
at the hotel.

I mean, I don't know
what you say to a parent

about their dead son.

All right,
what have we got so far?

Um, we think their crew consists
of at least six individuals.

From the firearms,
use of explosives,

the false 911 calls,

we're assuming it's a team

with extensive
training and experience.

The gunman David
shot was identified

by his driver's license
as Malcolm Stapleton, 36.

Video game designer.

No criminal record.
How does somebody go from

no criminal record
to firing on Federal agents

with an assault weapon?

That's the question
we need to be asking.

We need to know a lot more
about this dead guy.

Already on it.

That's the first thing
we need to know,

and we have to assume with
their planning and preparation,

they're not gonna hesitate
to hit another bank.

So even though we're looking
at this guy, Charlie's equation,

that's still
our best lead.

Well, he was able to predict
today's robbery.

He should be able to tell us
where they're gonna go next.

Charlie...

did you hear what I said?

Oh, I'm just, uh...

thinking.

Uh...
( clears throat )

( sighs )

Understand this is
an entirely new problem now.

The pattern I was working from
was a false pattern.

No, no, not so much false
as incomplete.

You were able to accurately
predict today's robbery.

Right, but there's
new factors now, okay?

They aren't two unarmed guys.

So the assumptions
we made about them

are invalid.

DON: Okay, all right, all right,
look,

so you take the new factors,
and you make

- a new equation, right?
- It's not that easy, man.

It's not that easy

because, uh...

there's something else
that has to be considered.

Like what?

Heisenberg's
Uncertainty Principle.

Heisenberg noted
that the, uh, the act

of observation
will affect the observed.

In other words, when you
watch something, you change it.

And, uh...
for example, like, an electron.

You know, you can't
really measure it

without bumping into it
in some small way.

Any physical act of observation

requires interaction
with a form of energy,

like light,
and that will change

the nature of the electron,
its path of travel.

All right, all right,
hold on, hold on.

You know I got, like,
a C in physics,

so just take me through

how this relates
to the case.

Don...
you've observed the robbers.

They know it; that will
change their actions.

TERRY:
Okay, so they change

their MO, but we don't have
to go back to square one.

We know some things about them.

We have a basis
for making some conclusions.

Right. Good, but I, um...

I can't help.

I can't do this.

TERRY:
Charlie, you feeling okay?

Yeah, it's just my stomach's
been bothering me.

That's normal.
Happens to a lot of us

after something like today.

Really? I was the
only one I know

who was throwing up
at the crime scene.

Look, buddy, come here.
Turn around.

Charlie, listen to me:
what you saw

was-was bad, okay?

I know. Trust me.

It takes a while
to process that.

So what I want you to do
is go home.

Come on. Put that down.
Give me that.

Charlie, you go home
and you get some rest.

Go, and when you come up with
something,

just call us, all right?

Charlie, call me
if you want

- to talk about anything, okay?
- Charlie...

We're counting on you, buddy.

( sighs )

What do you got?

The explosive in the
car bomb was C-4.

Check into that batch.

How are we doing on
the fake 911 calls?

Two individuals using
cell phones with scramblers.

We're preparing
voice prints.

We got any hits on crews
with similar MOs?

No, so far it's
unique to these guys.

And we should be checking
into armored transport,

and-and jewelry,
fine art, right?

I mean, they could've started

in any one of those
and, uh, moved on to banks.

( sighs ): I should be looking
at mug shots, right?

Did you get a good look?

Yeah, definitely.

WOMAN:
Agent Eppes.

That piece of evidence
you found at the scene--

- we know what it is.
- Excellent.

It's an ultra-thin
plastic mask

that you can peel off

in a second, wad up

- and throw away.
- Right.

A micro-mask.

The CIA uses the stuff

for covert operations.

That explains how he was able
to just disappear.

He could alter the shape
of his face, his nose,

making him unrecognizable.

DON:
So much for mug shots.

I'm gonna find out where
you can get one of these things.

Right. Thanks.

Sure.

Charles?

Charles? Oh.

Listen, I just stopped by.

Amita said that you
weren't gonna be coming

to campus tomorrow, and...

I don't know,
surely you remember

you're giving a presentation to
my graduate seminar.

Larry, I'm right
in the middle

of a significant
line of thought.

Right now really isn't the best
time for me to be entering

in on a discussion with anyone,
no offense.

No, no, no, none taken--
it's just that

Amita said that you also said

that you wouldn't be coming
to school for a while?

And I just think, uh,
you know,

considering
your teaching schedule,

the upcoming semifinals, I mean,
it struck me as rather odd,

just kind of... entirely
unworkable.

Well, maybe so,

but I'm close to a breakthrough
on this three-set,

and so I-I need
to follow through

on this line
of current algorithms now

while I have a fix on it.

- Donny.
- Hey, Dad.

- You all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I'm fine... Ow, ow.

Look,it's just, my arm's
a little sore.

I got a-a scrape
during an incident.

A scrape? From what?

Well, a bullet,
if you have to know.

But it's not... Dad,
please, listen to me, okay?

Just relax.
We had an arrest go bad,

and we lost
an agent, okay?

And three people died.

Now I'm looking for Charlie.
Where is he?

He's out in the
garage with Larry.

He's upset.
I can see why now.

What's he doing
in the garage?

He's just working on
that problem. You know.

What? That problem he can never
solve.

The P versus P thing?

- Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
- Aw, man.

Li... Li... Where you going?

I got to talk to him.
I need a new equation.

Wha...

You know that it's

considered unsolvable?

Well, certainly people
who have failed

to solve it
might think that.

But we all know,
Minesweeper Consistency

is an NP-complete problem,
so I believe

that there is an answer
in here somewhere.

Minesweeper? What are we
talking about, computer games?

Yes, but if you keep
talking to me,

I'm going to lose
my train of thought,

so please don't
talk anymore.

'Cause I-I need to follow
through on this-this-this line

of-of adjacent
vertices.

Look, please don't do this.

Don't do what, Don?

Go ahead, go ahead,
try and tell me

what it is that I'm doing.

You don't even know
what it is I'm doing.

No, actually I do; the thing is,
I don't think you do.

Okay. I'm gonna

go contemplate
the koi pond.

Charlie, look,

you helped us find
these guys once before.

You can do it again.

Come on.

Why, so you can get shot again?

No, buddy.
Look, understand,

I appreciate
you care about me,

but it's not gonna happen.

Statistically,
you're dead now.

You understand
what that means?

A man aimed a gun at
your head and fired.

The fact that you survived
is an anomaly,

and it's unlikely to be
the outcome

- of a second such encounter.
- Listen to me.

We don't have
many leads, okay?

If you can help us
predict when and if

these guys are gonna
hit another bank,

this is the only
shot we got.

Please understand, sometimes...

( panting ):
I can't choose what I work on.

I can't follow through
on a line of thinking

just because I want to or...

or because it's needed.

I have to work
on what's in my head.

And right now

this is what's in my head.

This is the license
we got off the guy

that David shot, which IDs him

as Malcolm Stapleton, right?

All right. This is a duplicate
license

of Stapleton we got
from the DMV.

So...

if the one we got off the body
is a fake, then who is he?

His current neighbors
recognize that guy as Stapleton.

Let's go talk to the neighbors
of his former residence.

- All right, that's a good idea.
- Yeah.

Hey, how's, uh,
how's Charlie doing?

I don't know,
he's just working

on some famously
unsolvable math problem,

which is not a good sign.

At least it's not binge
drinking and strip clubs.

That's true.

TERRY: You're sure this isn't
Malcolm Stapleton?

Yes, I'm sure, because
that's Malcolm's brother.

What happened to him?

He was involved
in an accident.

What's the brother's name?

Bill Stapleton.

He showed up a
few months ago,

said Malcolm had gotten
a job back East

and wouldn't be coming back.

Did Malcolm ever talk
about having a brother,

or say anything
about getting a new job?

No. Never even said good-bye.

Okay, well, thank you
for your time.

Thank you.

Okay, so our dead
guy is the brother

of a man who was
an only child.

- Right.
- Where do you want to start?

I'm thinking if he never said
good-bye, maybe Malcolm

never moved from here.

Let's talk to
the manager.

The super said contractors
came in to do work down here,

but the owner
never ordered the work.

Hey.

Check this out.

( knocking )

Looks brand-new.

That's good. Let me look.

DON:
Whoa.

See that?

TERRY: Looks like we just found
Malcolm.

We found a body identified by
fingerprints

as Malcolm Stapleton.

TERRY:
We think the man you shot

killed Stapleton
and stole his identity.

I'd like to be there

when you talk to the ME.

All right.

Malcolm Stapleton died from

massive blood loss
after his carotid artery

was severed.

The killer knew
what he was doing.

DON:
How so?

Well, the thing is,
most people

don't know how
to slit a throat.

They think you pull back
the head like this.

But in this position,

the windpipe provides
some protection

to the major blood vessels.

However, tilt
the head forward,

the arteries are exposed.

The cut was made away and down

from the assailant,
minimizing blood splatter.

The weapon was
an extremely sharp,

wide-blade knife.

Somebody with medical training?

More like military experience.

You know, the victim in
the robbery or the guy

in the boiler room
had his throat cut

- exactly like this.
- The wound on that body

was very similar.

But here's something new.
Look at this.

Electrical burns.

This man was tortured
before he was killed.

DON:
All right,

so they kill efficiently,

they use torture,
and they can execute

- a coordinated escape.
- You're thinking military?

I'm thinking Special Forces.

( phone rings )

Eppes.

We're on our way.

Charm School Boys
just hit another bank.

Let's go. All right, thanks.

TERRY:
Hey.

Same MO, same two guys.

Asked for cash,
didn't show a weapon,

but when the assistant manager
followed them outside

and pulled out a cell phone,
they shot him.

You realize this breaks
the pattern

of two weeks between robberies.
Excuse me.

( ringing )

Hello.

Uh... yeah,
actually I think

you might have
the right number.

Ma'am, my name is Don Eppes with
the FBI.

There's been
an incident.

Are you at home?

Can you please stay there?

We're going to come see you.

What's your address?

That's my gun.

Classic psych-ops
technique:

he's trying to get
inside your head

so you don't think clearly
and dispassionately.

Well, we need to look beyond
conventional military.

Start concentrating on Delta
Force, Navy SEAL units...

I agree.

Have you shown any
of the new data

to Charlie?

No, he's not
working the case.

Just that crazy math
problem day and night.

Last time he pulled
one of these

is when our mother
got cancer.

They were close?

Yeah, but when
she came home from chemo,

he couldn't deal,
just stayed in the garage...

didn't spend any time with her.

What are you
thinking?

That he can't stay
in the garage forever.

ALAN: You know, Don and Charlie,

they graduated high school
on the same day.

Thank you.
Don's mentioned it.

A few times.

ALAN: Kind of puts an edge on
that sibling rivalry thing,

you know?

I'm sure it does,

but having a kid like Charlie

had to put some unusual
pressure on the family.

How old was he when
you first realized

he was exceptional?

I think he was three

when he multiplied four-digit
numbers in his head.

By the age of four he needed

special teachers,
special classes.

My wife...

I mean, his mother and I,

we put a lot of time
into his education.

It was Don, he was
the one who had to...

get used
to taking care of himself.

Well, he might
have gotten used to it,

but I'm not sure he's as good

at it as he
thinks he is.

Well, it's hard for him
to ask anyone for help.

It's really hard
for him to ask Charlie.

We think they have special
military training,

and now they have
struck again

and killed another
innocent person, Charlie.

Charlie, please don't do this.

Do you understand the stakes
we're dealing with here?

More bloodshed, people's lives.

I mean, if I have to do
this on my own,

it's going to put me
and all of my people

at greater risk;
is that what you want?

Their old pattern's gone.
I told you that.

Then there's got to be
a new pattern.

Doesn't there? Isn't that the
way it works?

You incorporate
whatever's going on?

Ow...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I need your help,
you understand?

I don't think I can,
that I can...

Charlie, I know it's hard
for you, I understand that,

but it's hard
for everybody.

You know, I don't know
how I got in a situation

where I need your help
to do my job,

but I sure
as hell have.

I wish you would just snap out

of your precious bubble
for once.

Dad... I've been working
on a problem.

P versus NP--
it can't be solved.

I think you knew that
when you started.

I could work on it
forever,

constantly pushing forward,
still never reaching an end.

You know, sometimes
you want to think

that things don't end.

But they do.

When Mom was sick,

I couldn't stop working on it.

Yeah. I know.

I didn't get it.

Uh, not then.

And your brother sure
doesn't understand

why you spent
the last three months

of your mother's life
working on a math problem.

But Charlie, your mother--
she understood why.

Because she knew
how your mind worked.

Malcolm was
a top-level programmer.

He worked in our division
that handles tracking software.

Tracking what?

Financial transactions,

mostly used by banks
for data processing.

What were the circumstances
of his leaving the company?

He was on vacation, called
to say he was quitting.

He had a new job.

All right, thanks.

We'll talk to you soon.

You're welcome.

All right, so Stapleton

had high-level access
to bank software;

he's tortured;
he's murdered,

and his identity is stolen
by a guy who's a member

of a bank robbery crew,
right?

That doesn't seem
like a coincidence.

And consider how
careful they were

to make it seem like
he was still alive.

Right, 'cause you figure
they're going to want

to avoid a murder
investigation

so no one knows they have
access to his work.

Maybe they're using
the software to track

when banks have large
amounts of cash on hand.

Yeah, but the takes
are varied, you know?

I mean, you got a couple
hundred thousand dollars in one,

and then a hundred
dollars in the next.

Don, Captain
Joe MacNevish,

- Delta Forces.
- How are you, sir?

Our John Doe's
fingerprints

turned up a match
with the Army.

Former Delta Force member

Master Sergeant
John Anthony Galbraith.

Galbraith received

an honorable discharge
four years ago.

DAVID:
That's the guy I shot.

One of his associates
was a Robert Gordon Skidmore.

I'm sure the Bureau
has a record on him.

DAVID: Robert Skidmore,
convicted of robbing

a cash shipment coming
into an Army base.

Yeah, that's the guy
who took my gun.

He was partners with
the guy I shot, Galbraith.

All right,
well, we got two names.

Let's start
building a crew chart.

All right.

Well, I was
heartened to hear

that you've shifted your
focus off P versus NP.

So tell me, what is it
that I can help you with?

I failed.

I failed to notice
something significant.

These robberies display

certain highly eccentric
characteristics.

Okay, well how so?

Many were conducted
in under two minutes,

but in many cases,

the perpetrators
remained on the premises

far longer,
despite having the money.

Why would they wait around?

Don't know.

Leaving quickly would seem to be

the essential strategy
when fleeing a felony.

You see this game, Larry?

You've got to clear mines
without blowing any up.

Each time
you've cleared a square,

a numerical value is revealed.

That number tells you exactly
how many squares

containing mines are directly
adjacent to that square.

This allows you to predict

where the next mine
will be located.

And then,
the more boxes revealed,

the more accurately
one can predict

the location of the mines.

The pattern used
in these bank robberies

is similar to this same type
of problem-solving pattern.

These robbers

have used

the banks they've been robbing

to tell them
which ones to rob next.

To what end would criminals be
playing Minesweeper with banks?

I don't know.

DON: Right, no, I don't think
that's smart.

Right.

TERRY:
Don.

Yeah?

I'll call you
right back.

No, I will.

Hey, Charlie.

I have some findings for you.

I'm sorry I couldn't
get to this sooner.

No, now's good.

Come on in.

Did you rework the equation?

No, I think you need
to be looking

at a whole other line
of investigation.

Like what?

What's inside a bank
that's more valuable than money?

Information?
Financial data?

Exactly.

This case--
it isn't about robbing banks.

CHARLIE:
Everything they did

made it seem
like a typical bank robbery,

but while our Charm School Boys

were at the teller's window
creating a diversion,

they must've had a third man
accessing the bank's computers.

The question is, why?

Are we sure this is the only
machine that they messed with?

As far as we know.

Why risk robberies?

Why not just hack
into the bank's computer?

From an outside source,

it's almost impossible.

These databases are guarded
with intense firewalls.

Besides, by actually robbing
the banks,

they were able
to gain any capital

they might need
in the meantime.

More important,

the data seems
to be location-specific.

So when they're accessing data
at one bank,

it leads them to data
at other banks.

Here you go.

It's the YDS software.

The program was accessed
using Stapleton's pass code

on the day of the robbery.

Dollar amounts?

MANAGER:
Believe so.

Bank routing numbers?

MANAGER:
That's what they are.

TERRY: The routing numbers are
all the same.

The cash in this list
is all going to the same bank.

DON:
Which bank?

That's a special Federal Reserve
routing number

for the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco.

Specifically,
the Los Angeles branch.

He helps us on financial cases
all the time.

And I tend to remember numbers.

DON:
So these heists are diversions.

They're distractions.

And that's why Stapleton
was tortured,

for his confidential pass codes.

The exact same computer program
was accessed at all the banks

hit by Skidmore's crew.

How does this factor
into the Federal Reserve?

The program tracks cash
being removed from circulation.

Old currencies,
either worn or ripped,

and it's retired cash

is taken out
of circulation at local banks.

Every few months it's taken
to the Federal Reserve Bank

then to a secret Treasury
location where it's destroyed.

And that retired-cash data
is collated by the YDS software,

which allows the bank robbers

to locate other banks
with the same software.

So once they have enough data,

they get a fix on the shipment

from the Federal Reserve Bank
to the Treasury.

Each shipment is maybe
a hundred million dollars

in untraceable cash.

( phone rings )

Eppes.

Right.

Right, I got it.

That was the Federal Reserve
Bank in Los Angeles.

They got a shipment
of retired currency

going to the Treasury
in six hours, okay?

I want to know
what the security is

what the route is, what the
procedure is, right?

Let's go.

Hey.

Hey.

Just one thing.

Heisenberg
and his Uncertainty Principle.

Right. Do me a favor.
Hold this.

What about it?

Remember
I told you

how the act of observation
will ultimately affect

that which is being observed?

Yes, you did.

These guys know
you've studied them.

They know you're trying
to outthink them.

Charlie, it's all right.

Tell Heisenberg

we're all over this.

We'll be at Ontario Airport

in about 20 minutes.

Almost there.

No!

TERRY:
Unit One, Unit Two, Code Red!

Unit One, Unit Two,
come in!

All right, Unit Two to Unit One,
come in.

( radio static )

Unit Two to Unit One?

TERRY:
Unit One, Unit Two, Code Red.

Unit One to Unit Two, come in.

They're jamming our radios.

( tires screech )

I'm not getting any response.

What do we do?

We'll stick with the plan.

Go.

You want to live?

Drop your guns.

Where's the money?

In the bank.

Drop your weapons!

Get on the ground!

Back off!

Bridge team, green light.

(gunshot)

TERRY:
Drop your weapon!

- Get your ass down!
- Get down on the ground!

- Get down on the ground!
- Get your ass down!

Get your hands
on your head!

Don't move.

( starter grinding )

FBI! Do not move!

Do not move!

Get that other hand
on the wheel right now!

Get it up! Do it!

This is mine.

Get out of the car.

Get out
of the car!

Get down on your face!

Billy, cuff him!

Here you go, Pop.

I got it.

Now you got it.

Thank you.

Spoon.

Hello.
Donnie!

Wow, it's good to see you.

Oh, you guys ate.
I'm starving.

ALAN: There's plenty. Come on.

Yeah?
Did Terry call,

tell you guys what happened?

Yeah, she said you arrested
every suspect.

Only one shot fired, huh?

One? How'd you
pull that off?

We knew roughly where'd they'd
try to hit the next shipment,

and I knew they'd have
an escape plan.

ALAN:
That's very clever.

I guess I was inspired
by Mr. Heisenberg.

just like Charlie here
suggested.

ALAN:
Heisenberg?

You mean, the physicist?

Yeah.

Oh.

Your brother goes into
a dangerous confrontation

with heavily armed felons,
and you prepare him

with a lecture
on the movement

of subatomic particles?

Yep.

It worked, didn't it?

Yes.

I guess it did.

I'm telling you,

if your mother could see you
two guys now,

she would be...

so happy.

How you doing
on your P versus P thing?

NP?

Sorry.

I'm not pursuing it anymore.

No?

I got plenty of problems
to work on,

ones that I think
I can actually solve.

Glad to hear it.

What, no mustard?

I knew you'd ask.

He forgot.

What's up? What's up?
