Numb3rs (2005–2010): Season 1, Episode 13 - Man Hunt - full transcript

(buzzer sounding)

(door clanging)

(chains clinking)

(people chattering)

(Raynor) KEEP IT MOVING, BOYS.

BROWN? (Brown) YEAH.

LEWIS? (Lewis) YO.

NICHOLS? (Nichols) RIGHT.

WILLIAMS? (Williams) YO.

McDOWD?

BRICE? YO.



(marshal) GRAB A SEAT, BOYS.

(Raynor) ALL SET.

6 PRISONERS PROCESSED
AND SECURED FOR TRANSFER.

HAVE A NICE TRIP.

(buzzer sounding)

CHECK IT OUT.

IT'S A 25-FOOTER.

BOAT LIKE THAT, A MAN
CAN SAIL TO CATALINA,

ALL THE WAY TO
MEXICO, IF HE SO DESIRED.

YEAH.

ARE WE THERE YET?

(chuckling)

(horn honking)

(man) OUT OF THE WAY, VATO.



(screams)

(tires screeching)

(exclaiming)

(gun firing)

(grunting)

(clanking)

YO, SENOR, THAT YOUR TRUCK?

GOOD. GET IN! YOU'RE
GIVIN' US A RIDE.

(speaking Spanish)

GET IN!

(officer) WHOA, HOLD
IT RIGHT THERE, SIR!

(David) SORRY TO BRING
YOU IN ON YOUR DAY OFF.

(Don) OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S THE HEAD COUNT HERE?

WE GOT 2 IN THE BUSH.

WITNESS SAYS THERE WAS AN
ACCIDENT. BUS ROLLED OVER.

MINUTE LATER THERE'S A SHOT,

2 GUYS JUMP OUT,
CARJACK A PICKUP,

THEY TAKE OFF HEADED WEST.

DISPATCHER SAID SOMETHING,
UH, ABOUT A FATALITY?

ESCORT MARSHAL.

OH.

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THESE GUYS?

HERE'S THE FILE.

THERE'S THE MARSHAL.

I TAKE IT "V" STANDS
FOR VELOCITY.

POST-IMPACT VELOCITY.

AND "F," THAT'S DRAG
COEFFICIENT? YEAH.

UH, YOU A RECONSTRUCTOR?
EXCUSE ME?

ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTOR.

OH, NO. I'M A PROFESSOR
OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS

AND I CONSULT FOR THE F.B.I.

WOW. PROFESSOR.

SO, WHERE DO YOU TEACH? CALSCI.

MY EX WENT TO CALSCI
FOR ENGINEERING.

HE, UH... HE ACTUALLY
IS A RECONSTRUCTOR

FOR AN INSURANCE COMPANY NOW.

WE MET ON A CAR
CRASH ON THE 101.

ANYWAY, UM, NICE TO MEET
YOU. NICE MEETING YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

WELL, CALL EVERYBODY IN
AND NOTIFY FUGITIVE RECOVERY.

WE'RE GONNA WANT
THEM INVOLVED, AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. LATER.

YOU'RE GOIN' IN? YEAH,
COME ON. I'LL GIVE YOU A RIDE.

IS THIS THEM? YUP.

ONE OF 'EM HAS A LIFE SENTENCE.

NO POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.

YEAH, NOTHIN' TO LOSE.

(Charlie) WE ALL USE
MATH EVERY DAY.

(echoing) EVERY DAY.

TO PREDICT WEATHER,

TO TELL TIME,

TO HANDLE MONEY.

MATH IS MORE THAN
FORMULAS AND EQUATIONS.

IT'S LOGIC.

(echoing) MATH IS MORE THAN
FORMULAS AND EQUATIONS.

IT'S RATIONALITY.

IT'S USING YOUR MIND

TO SOLVE THE BIGGEST
MYSTERIES WE KNOW.

(echoing) WE KNOW.

(David) FUGITIVE ONE,
VINCENT WILLIAMS.

UNTIL THIS MORNING, VINCENT WAS
SERVING 8 YEARS ON AN ARSON CHARGE.

(Don) FUGITIVE NUMBER
2 IS TIMOTHY McDOWD.

HE'S A CONTRACT KILLER WITH A NUMBER OF
DRUG DEALERS IN AND AROUND LOS ANGELES.

NOW, HE EXECUTED A FEDERAL
INFORMANT ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO

WHICH WAS WITNESSED BY A
WOMAN WHO TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM.

SO I WOULD SAY HER SAFETY
IS OUR IMMEDIATE CONCERN.

LOCAL NEWS STATIONS
ARE RUNNING THEIR PHOTOS,

WE'RE GETTING PHONE TIPS, BUT
SO FAR, NOTHING HAS PANNED OUT.

AND AS FAR AS WE KNOW,
NEITHER OF THEM HAVE

DRIVER'S LICENSE OR I.D.'S,

SO I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT
THEM GETTING ON A... A PLANE,

ALTHOUGH, WE SHOULD KEEP
OUR EYE ON THE AIRPORTS, RIGHT?

MY MONEY SAYS THEY STAY LOCAL.

H-H-HEY. HOW ARE YOU, MAN?

EVERYBODY, THIS IS AGENT
BILLY COOPER, COMING TO US

HEY. COURTESY OF
FUGITIVE RECOVERY.

OK, SO THESE GUYS USUALLY
GO WHERE THEY'RE FAMILIAR,

WHERE THEY'RE AFFILIATED.

NOW, THEY'RE BOTH FROM L.A., SO
MY GUESS IS THEY STICK AROUND.

WOULDN'T IT BE SMARTER TO LEAVE
THE AREA, GET AWAY FROM THE SEARCH?

YEAH, SURE, IT WOULD,
BUT THEY'RE NOT SMART,

WHICH IS WHY THEY WENT
TO PRISON TO BEGIN WITH.

WHICH DOESN'T MEAN
THEY'RE NOT DANGEROUS.

SO LOOK AT THE FILES. I
MEAN, FAMILY, FRIENDS,

GANG PALS. THAT'S
THE KEY TO FINDIN' 'EM.

LET'S GO. LET'S RUN THESE
GUYS DOWN, ALL RIGHT?

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU,
BUDDY. YEAH, YOU LOOK GOOD.

I TAKE IT YOU TWO
KNOW EACH OTHER?

YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW I USED
TO WORK IN FUGITIVE RECOVERY.

WELL, WE WERE A TEAM.

WHAT BETTER WAY TO GET TO
KNOW A MAN THAN TO SPEND A WEEK

USING A GAS STATION
REST ROOM AS HOME BASE.

AH, THE GOOD OLD
DAYS. DAVID SINCLAIR.

PLEASURE.

ANYWAY, SO, UH, HOW
DO YOU WANNA PLAY IT?

I'M THINKIN' YOU GUYS GO AFTER
WILLIAMS. I THINK I'LL TAKE McDOWD.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT ABOUT THE
WITNESS WHO PUT McDOWD AWAY?

I'VE GOT L.A.P.D. ON HER. BUT I'M GONNA GO
TALK TO HER ABOUT WITNESS PROTECTION.

WHICH ROOM? FIRST
DOOR ON THE RIGHT.

DR. FISHER?

OH, YOU JUST NEED TO, UH, SIGN IN WITH
THE RECEPTION BEFORE I CAN SEE YOU.

EXCUSE ME, ACTUALLY,
I'M WITH THE F.B.I.

MY NAME IS DON EPPES.

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

UH, YEAH.

JUST LET ME KNOW IF
THERE'S A CHANGE. OK.

HAVE THEY TOLD YOU
WHAT'S GOIN' ON? YEAH.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HOPED I'D
NEVER HEAR THE NAME "McDOWD" AGAIN.

I'M SURE. WELL, I
MEAN, I CAN TELL YOU

WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO FIND HIM.

RIGHT. SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR.

WELL, LOOK, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE
WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.

CAN YOU?

I MEAN, I WATCHED THIS GUY
KILL A MAN IN COLD BLOOD.

THE DAY I TESTIFIED, HE
LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED,

THEN RAN HIS FINGER
ACROSS HIS THROAT.

LOOK, I MEAN, WHAT YOU
DID TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE.

I MEAN, YOU GOT THE GUY A LIFE
SENTENCE. HE THREATENED YOU.

THE SMART MOVE WOULD BE TO
ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION HERE.

LOOK, I... I CAN'T DO
WITNESS PROTECTION AGAIN.

I'M SORRY. I JUST CAN'T DO IT.

JUST HEAR ME OUT, OK? IT'S
NOT GOING TO BE FOR LONG.

I MEAN, THE ODDS ARE ALWAYS IN
OUR FAVOR IN THESE KIND OF CASES.

I HAVE PATIENTS. I... I
CAN'T ABANDON THEM.

WELL, DOCTOR, I'M SURE YOU
CAN FIND SOMEBODY TO COVER YOU.

THE LAST TIME I WENT INTO
PROTECTION, I LOST 6 MONTHS OF MY LIFE.

I MEAN, I'M NOT
TRYING TO BE BRAVE,

BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC REASON
TO THINK HE'S COMING AFTER ME NOW?

NO. I MEAN, NOTHING
SPECIFIC, BUT...

THEN I'D LIKE TO
GET BACK TO WORK.

UH, I'M GONNA LEAVE
THE OFFICERS HERE, OK?

HERE AND AT YOUR HOME. I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO INSIST ON THAT.

(cell phone ringing) OK.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

EPPES. YEAH, I'M ON MY WAY.

(Morris) THIS IS WHAT
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

OK.

WHY WERE THE... THE...
THE MARKS FROM THE TIRES...

HEY, CHARLIE!

HEY, THIS IS OFFICER MORRIS OF
THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL.

THIS IS MY FATHER
AND DR. FLEINHARDT.

OH, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU
GOT ANOTHER SPEEDING TICKET?

YEAH.

(chuckling)

ACTUALLY, YOUR SON'S HELPING
ME WITH AN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION.

WE'RE TRYIN' TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT CAUSED IT.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE
CONSULTING FOR THE C.H.P. ARE YOU?

DON'S CASE.

YEAH? WHAT SORT OF
ACCIDENT INVOLVES THE F.B.I.?

PRISON BUS CRASH.

(Alan) THE ONE I
SAW ON THE NEWS.

THE BUS WITH THE
ESCAPED CONVICTS?

DON IS WORKING ON THAT, HUH?

YEAH. WHY?

(Alan) HUH? OH, NOTHIN'.

IT'S JUST THAT YOUR BROTHER
WAS WORKING ON FUGITIVE RECOVERY

ONCE FOR A WHILE, UH... ANYWAY.

(Larry) APPEARS TO BE BASIC
NEWTONIAN MECHANICS,

THE STUFF FOR FIRST YEAR
ENGINEERING STUDENTS.

NOW WHY HAVE THESE ELEMENTARY
EQUATIONS SO CAPTURED YOUR IMAGINATION?

WELL, THE CONFLUENCE OF
SO MANY UNRELATED FACTORS

COMING TOGETHER AT
A GIVEN POINT IN TIME,

IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE A FASCINATING
APPROACH TO BAYESIAN INFERENCE

AS APPLIED TO THE ANALYSIS
OF TIME SERIES DATA.

YEAH, WELL, AS FAR AS I KNOW
ANYTIME AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS,

IT'S BECAUSE SOMEBODY
MADE A MISTAKE. AM I RIGHT?

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TRYIN' TO FIGURE OUT.

(Charlie) THE ANSWER'S
NOT THAT SIMPLE.

I MEAN, COINCIDENCES ARE
A MATHEMATICAL REALITY.

STATISTICALLY, UNLIKELY
EVENTS CAN AND OFTEN DO OCCUR.

JUST LOOK AT THE
GENESIS OF OUR PLANET.

(Larry) WELL, NOW,

I AGREE THAT THE FACTORS THAT
BROUGHT ABOUT LIFE ON EARTH

WERE STATISTICALLY UNLIKELY.

BUT GIVEN THE
VASTNESS OF THE COSMOS,

THE LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES
FOR MATTER AND ENERGY,

I'M WITH EINSTEIN ON THIS.

THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS.

WILLIAMS HAS BEEN
AWAY FOR 2 YEARS.

YOU REALLY THINK
SEEING HIS EX-GIRL

IS GOING TO BE TOPS ON HIS LIST?

FIRST RULE OF MAN-HUNTING:
FIND HIS WOMAN.

MAYBE SHE FOUND SOMEBODY NEW.

(sighing)

THIS IS WILLIAMS'
PRISON RECORDS.

HE USED ALL HIS PHONE
PRIVILEGES CALLIN' HER.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN WITH DON?

NOT LONG. ABOUT A YEAR.

I REMEMBER HEARING HE CAME
BACK TO L.A. 'CAUSE HIS MOM WAS SICK.

HOW'D THAT WORK
OUT? IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

SHE DIED.

THAT'S THE DOWNSIDE
OF FUGITIVE RECOVERY,

YOU TEND TO LOSE TOUCH.

YOU SEEM TO ENJOY IT.

YEAH, THE WORK KIND OF
GETS IN YOUR BLOOD, I GUESS.

YOUR BOSS WAS DAMN GOOD AT IT.

HE WAS?

SPENT 2 WEEKS IN
A CEMETERY ONCE,

WAITIN' FOR THIS GUY TO
SHOW UP AT HIS WIFE'S GRAVE.

GRABBED HIM AS HE WAS PUTTIN' A
DOZEN ROSES ON HER HEADSTONE.

(exclaims)

(chuckling)

SHE DIED WHILE HE
WAS IN PRISON, HUH?

UH, JUST BEFORE HE WENT.

HE'S THE ONE THAT KILLED HER.

(Cooper) HEY, HERE WE GO.

THE CANS ARE STILL
ON HER PROPERTY.

TECHNICALLY, WE NEED A WARRANT.

ONLY IF WE'RE TRYING
TO BUILD A COURT CASE.

WE DON'T HAVE TO PLEASE
THE LAWYERS ON THIS ONE.

HERE. USE IT.

THE LADY'S BEEN SHOPPING.

LINGERIE STORE. SHE MUST
HAVE HEARD FROM WILLIAMS.

(cell phone ringing) WELL, SEE?
JUST A MATTER OF TIME NOW.

SINCLAIR. WHEN?

(David) THEY FOUND THE PICKUP
TRUCK THAT WAS HIJACKED.

REGISTRATION GIVES THE
OWNER'S NAME AS ALBERTO DIAZ.

RUNS A GARDENING
COMPANY OUT OF ARLETA.

TRIED HIS OFFICE,
TRIED HIS HOME.

NO ANSWER AT EITHER.

LET'S SEE IF ANY CARS WERE REPORTED
STOLEN IN, LIKE, A 3-BLOCK RADIUS.

THEY MAY HAVE PICKED UP
ANOTHER VEHICLE BY NOW, YOU KNOW?

ALL RIGHT.

(people chattering)

YOU GUYS GOT A LINE ON 'EM YET?

WHO ARE YOU? DANNY
REED, L.A.P.D., NARCO.

OH. HEY, DANNY, HOW
ARE YOU? DON EPPES. F.B.I.

YEAH, I RECOGNIZED THE SUIT.

WHY IS NARCO INTERESTED IN THIS?

McDOWD.

I WAS WORKING A MULTIPLE DRUG
SLAYING WHEN YOU GUYS SWOOPED IN

AND STOLE HIM FROM ME
A WHILE BACK. OH, YEAH?

WELL, WE'D APPRECIATE ANY
ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE US.

I'M SURE YOU WOULD.

SO, IF THE GUY'S IN THE
WIND, HE'S FAIR GAME, RIGHT?

LISTEN, REED, MY PRIORITY HERE

IS APPREHENDING A FEDERAL
PRISONER. WHAT'S YOURS?

MY PRIORITY IS SEEIN' IF I CAN
GET THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

TO STICK A NEEDLE IN
McDOWD'S ARM. OH, I SEE.

THE FEDS ALREADY HAD
THEIR CHANCE, REMEMBER?

YEAH, WE PUT HIM AWAY FOR LIFE.

I'LL BE SURE TO TELL THAT ESCORT
MARSHAL'S WIDOW YOU SAID SO.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET IN
MY WAY ON THIS, NOW, ARE YOU?

(cell phone ringing) NO,
SIR, AGENT EPPES.

GOOD, WE'RE CLEAR
ON THAT? VERY CLEAR.

GOOD.

EPPES.

YEAH, CHARLIE.

OK.

NOBODY TOUCHES THIS TRUCK.

I CAN UNDERSTAND THE
FASCINATION OF KINEMATIC EQUATIONS

WHEN WORKING ALONGSIDE AN
ATTRACTIVE FEMALE POLICE OFFICER,

BUT WHY ALL THE LAWN EQUIPMENT?

WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE CONFLUENCE
OF THE COSMOS TRIGGERED A THOUGHT.

UH-OH. NOTE TO SELF: NEVER
TALK QUANTUM THEORY AGAIN.

THE INITIAL VELOCITY OF THE BUS
BARELY EXCEEDS THAT OF THE FLATBED.

THE GAP BETWEEN
THEM CLOSING SLOWLY,

APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET PER SECOND.

OK, AND THEN ALONG
COMES THE SKATEBOARD?

THAT'S RIGHT. THE PICKUP TRUCK.

THE PICKUP TRUCK PULLS
ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BUS.

ITS VELOCITY IS
13 MILES PER HOUR

GREATER THAN THAT OF THE BUS.

NOW, AT THIS POINT, THE GAP BETWEEN
THE BUS AND THE FLATBED TRUCK

IS AT LEAST 84 FEET.

OK, THAT'S AMPLE ENOUGH
ROOM FOR THE PICKUP

TO SAFELY MANEUVER
IN FRONT OF THE BUS.

HOWEVER, THE GAP
SUDDENLY CLOSED.

THE PICKUP VEERS
IN FRONT OF THE BUS,

(tires squealing)

FORCING THE BUS TO MANEUVER
AND HIT THE GUARDRAIL,

WHICH CAUSES IT TO TORQUE
AND FLIP ONTO ITS SIDE.

HOW DID THAT GAP CLOSE SO QUICKLY
BETWEEN THE BUS AND THE FLATBED?

2 POSSIBILITIES. 1, THE BUS
GREATLY INCREASED ITS VELOCITY.

NO, NO, NO, GIVEN THE MASS OF THE
BUS, THAT-THAT'S EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.

OR 2, THE FLATBED TRUCK

REDUCED ITS SPEED AT
THE CRITICAL MOMENT,

CAUSING THE PICKUP TO
VEER IN FRONT OF THE BUS.

THAT'S IT.

THE FLATBED SLOWED
DOWN. THAT'S RIGHT.

(Larry) WELL, THAT WOULD MEAN...

A MARKOV CHAIN. EXACTLY.

GENTLEMEN. WHAT'S ALL THIS?

JUST TRYIN' TO MAKE
SENSE OF SOMETHING

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

I THOUGHT THAT'S
WHAT YOU DO BEST.

WHAT, UH... WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

WELL, APPARENTLY,
THAT SEED SPREADER.

UH, T-T-THE FLATBED TRUCK.

WHAT... WHAT ABOUT IT?

THE CRASH WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

DON, IT WAS STAGED.

ALL THESE DIFFERENT
EVENTS AND FACTORS,

FROM THE INITIAL VELOCITY OF
THE BUS, TO ITS FINAL TORQUE,

ALL OF THESE CREATE WHAT'S
CALLED A MARKOV CHAIN.

WHAT KIND OF CHAIN?

MARKOV. A SEQUENCE
OF RANDOM VALUES

WHERE THE PROBABILITIES
AT ANY GIVEN TIME

DEPEND ON THE VALUES
AT A PREVIOUS TIME.

THE CONTROLLING
FACTOR IN A MARKOV CHAIN

IS CALLED THE
TRANSITIONAL PROBABILITY.

NOW, IN THIS CASE, THE BUS
REACHES A CERTAIN POINT IN THE ROAD

JUST AS THE TRUCK
BLOCKS THE LANE,

JUST AS THE PICKUP
CUTS OFF THE BUS.

WHICH TELLS YOU IT
WASN'T AN ACCIDENT?

BAYESIAN STATISTICS AND THE
CHAPMAN-KOLMOGOROV EQUATION TELL ME THAT.

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE HIS BROTHER?

IF THE FLATBED TRUCK HAD
MAINTAINED ITS INITIAL VELOCITY,

WELL, THEN, THE PICKUP
SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH SPACE

TO ROAM FREELY PAST THE
BUS, SAFELY, BUT IT DIDN'T.

THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN
JUST AT THE RIGHT MOMENT,

JUST AS THE PICKUP
TIMED ITS MOVE,

FORCING THE BUS TO VEER
VIOLENTLY AND OVERTURN.

SO THE PICKUP DRIVER AND
THE FLATBED GUY ARE IN ON IT.

ONLY THE GARDENER'S MISSING.

LET'S GO FIND THAT TRUCK DRIVER.

GOOD JOB, CHARLIE. THANKS.

(foreman) WHAT'D YOU SAY
THIS DRIVER'S NAME WAS AGAIN?

(Cooper) CHRIS DUNLAP.

WELL, WE SUB OUT SOMETIMES, BUT
THAT'S NOT A NAME I'VE EVER HEARD BEFORE.

WELL, HE WAS INTERVIEWED
AT THE CRASH SITE.

HE WAS DRIVING
ONE OF YOUR TRUCKS.

MY TRUCKS WEREN'T OUT YESTERDAY.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
LICENSING DISPUTE WITH THE CITY.

NONE OF OUR EQUIPMENT
HAS ROLLED IN 3 DAYS.

WELL, THE NUMBER
ON THIS ONE SAYS 202.

MAYBE YOU GOT THE WRONG COMPANY.

NO, WE DON'T HAVE
THE WRONG COMPANY.

YEAH, WELL, ALL RIGHT. THERE IT
IS. THE TRUCK'S RIGHT OVER HERE.

NOW, YOU GUYS KEEP
MILEAGE LOGS, RIGHT?

WE'RE REQUIRED TO BY LAW.

WHOA! (foreman) OH, MY GOD!

YEAH, HE'S COLD.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA
NEED THAT LOG ANYMORE.

ALL RIGHT, STEP BACK.

(camera clicking)

HEY, EPPS. HEY.

DON. HEY.

DEAD DRIVER'S NAME WASN'T
DUNLAP. IT WAS BRIAN ZANE.

HANDFUL OF POSSESSION CHARGES.

CORONER PULLED A .40
CALIBER SLUG OUT OF HIS CHEST.

AND I HAVE SOMETHING
ON THE MISSING GARDENER.

IS HE STILL ALIVE?

ALIVE ENOUGH TO BOARD A FLIGHT TO
MEXICO CITY THE NIGHT OF THE CRASH.

(Cooper) YOU'RE KIDDING.

WHICH LEAVES NO
WAY TO QUESTION HIM.

WHY ARE THESE GUYS GOING TO
SO MUCH TROUBLE TO COVER-UP?

THERE'S NOTHING IN
WILLIAMS' PROFILE TO SUGGEST

HE'S CAPABLE OF PULLING
SOMETHING LIKE THIS OFF.

YEAH, WELL, I THINK IT'S McDOWD.

WORRIED ABOUT THE WITNESS?

YES, I AM.

CHARLIE'S HERE.

HEY, BUDDY. WHAT'S ALL THIS?

I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT
ALL THE DATA YOU HAVE.

I'M TRYING TO ANALYZE THE METHODOLOGY
YOU GUYS USE TO HUNT FUGITIVES.

I WAS EXPLAINING SOME
OF THE BASICS TO CHARLIE.

HOW WE FOCUS ON
FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

SO, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

WELL, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE
INFORMATION THAT IS COMING IN

FROM THESE TIP LINES, UH, POSSIBLE
SIGHTINGS OF WILLIAMS AND McDOWD.

OH, AND VIOLENT CRIMES THAT HAVE
BEEN COMMITTED SINCE THEIR ESCAPE

THAT MAY HAVE LINKS
TO THEIR MOVEMENTS.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU CAN DO WHAT I DO
WITH JUST THESE NUMBERS ON THE BOARD?

WELL, I'M SURE YOU'LL
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG,

BUT THE IDEA IS TO DETERMINE

WHAT AREAS HAVE A GREATER
STATISTICAL PROBABILITY

OF BEING VISITED
BY YOUR FUGITIVE.

AREAS, UH, WITH FAMILY,
AREAS AROUND FORMER FRIENDS.

I MEAN, THOSE WOULD
HAVE GREATER PROBABILITY.

OTHERS WOULD HAVE LESS.

I MEAN, I... YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S THE
EXACT SAME THING I DO WITH AN EQUATION.

I MEAN, I... I DON'T MEAN TO
REPLACE YOUR EXPERTISE, BUT, UH,

(cell phone ringing) I'M JUST TRYING
TO CUT DOWN YOUR LEGWORK.

AGENT SINCLAIR.

HEY, I'M ALL FOR THAT.

(David) OK, THANKS.

WILLIAMS WAS JUST SPOTTED
AT THE GIRLFRIEND'S HOUSE.

I'LL BET SHE'S WEARING
THAT PRETTY OUTFIT, TOO.

PUT TOGETHER AN ENTRY TEAM.

I'LL CALL YOU WHEN
WE'RE THERE. OK.

SO WILLIAMS GOT HERE AN
HOUR AGO, WENT IN THE BACK.

AN HOUR?

SO, HE'LL PROBABLY BE
TAPPIN' THE GIRLFRIEND BY NOW.

LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A DEAD BOLT.

CONVICTS LIKE THEIR PRIVACY.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA
CALL AN ENTRY TEAM.

WHAT? HEY, AND SPOIL OUR FUN?

OH, MAN, TELL THESE GUYS
TO GO COVER THE BACK.

LET'S YOU AND ME GO
IN AND GRAB HIS ASS.

MAN.

YOU READY? LET'S DO IT.

♪ (music playing on stereo)

(Cooper) F.B.I.!
F.B.I.! DON'T MOVE!

(Don) DON'T MOVE, MAN!
GET YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!

DON'T DO IT!

GET YOUR HANDS UP!

UP AGAINST THE WALL!
GET 'EM UP, BOTH OF 'EM!

STAND ON YOUR FEET! UP! UP!

I GOT A .22 CALIBER.

NOT THE ONE FROM THE BUS.

NOT THE ONE THAT DID THE TRUCK
DRIVER, EITHER. GET UP. GET UP!

DON'T YOU MOVE! TURN AROUND AND
BRING YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

PALMS UP! THAT'S RIGHT.

(Cooper) 8 YEAR
SENTENCE FOR ARSON.

UP FOR PAROLE IN 4.

YOU WERE HALFWAY HOME, VINCENT.

WELL, NOT ANYMORE, COOP.

I MEAN, NOT WITH A
MURDER ON HIS HEAD.

MURDER? I DIDN'T DO NO MURDER.

NO? WHAT ABOUT THE
MARSHAL ON THE BUS YOU SHOT?

YOU KNOW THAT GUY
WAS A FATHER WITH 2 KIDS?

THAT WAS McDOWD, MAN!

YOU KNOW, IT'S A REAL
SURPRISE YOU SAYIN' THAT,

ESPECIALLY SINCE
McDOWD'S NOT HERE!

HEY! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
WAS GONNA HAPPEN TILL WE CRASHED.

THEN McDOWD TOLD ME TO
PRETEND LIKE I WAS HURT.

GUARD STARTS BACK TO HELP.

NEXT THING I KNOW
McDOWD SHOT THE DUDE.

SO McDOWD KNEW THE
BUS WAS GONNA CRASH?

IT SEEMED LIKE HE DID, YEAH.

SEEMED LIKE HE DID?

WHAT ELSE DID IT
SEEM LIKE HE KNEW?

LOOK, WE'VE GOT A DEAD
FEDERAL MARSHAL ON OUR HANDS.

SOMEONE'S GONNA PAY
FOR IT. AT THIS POINT, IT'S YOU.

McDOWD'S GONNA
KILL SOMEBODY. WHO?

HE DIDN'T TELL ME THAT, BUT
THAT'S WHY HE BROKE OUT.

(door opening)

(David) L.A.P.D. JUST
GOT A SOLID TIP.

McDOWD WAS SPOTTED 40
MINUTES AGO, 6TH AND ALVARADO.

(Don) LET'S GO.

(man) YOU GOT A LIGHT?

(inaudible)

♪ (rock music playing)

ALL RIGHT, HE'S HERE. BACK
ROOM, SOUTHEAST CORNER.

SO, HOW MANY INSIDE?

15, PLUS THE BARTENDER.

ALL RIGHT, HEADS UP,
EVERYBODY. HE'S HERE.

OUR GUY IS INSIDE, BACK
ROOM, SOUTHEAST CORNER.

UNITS STANDBY. REPEAT, STANDBY.

HOW MANY OUT BACK?

A COUPLE OF L.A.P.D.
PLAIN CLOTHES.

BAR CLOSES IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

LESS CIVILIANS IF
THINGS GO SOUTH.

YEAH. YOU'RE RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP,
WE'RE GONNA HOLD HERE.

MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE.
REPEAT, MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE.

(officer) COPY THAT.

(gun firing) WHAT'S THAT?

SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS
FIRED. SHOTS FIRED.

(people screaming)
(Don) GO, GO, GO!

(gun firing)

(police siren wailing)

(Don) F.B.I.!

F.B.I.!

CHECK WHO'S OUT BACK.

(tires squealing)

WHOA, HANG ON, MAN.

WHERE IS HE? WHERE'D HE GO?
I DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T SEE HIM.

HE GOT AWAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE GOT AWAY?

I MADE ENTRY, McDOWD
DREW HIS WEAPON.

I HAD NO CHOICE
BUT TO OPEN FIRE.

YOU MADE ENTRY? I HAD COMMAND!
I SAID MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE!

I DIDN'T GET THAT. WE
HAD HIM, YOU MORON!

I MUST HAVE BEEN ON A
DIFFERENT TAC FREQUENCY!

HE HARMS ANYONE,
YOU UNDERSTAND ME,

TOUCHES ANYONE,
IT'S ON YOUR HEAD!

(officers yelling)

OK. THANKS.

ANYTHING?

NOT YET.

COME ON, DON, YOU
KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

THINGS DON'T ALWAYS,
YOU KNOW, POP RIGHT AWAY.

EVERYTHING WAS POPPING JUST FINE

TILL THAT IDIOT REED SHOWED UP.

I ASKED AROUND ABOUT HIM.

HE HAS A REPUTATION FOR PLAYING
THINGS A LITTLE FAST AND LOOSE.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT,
SOMETIMES THAT'S NOT A BAD THING.

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY, YOU
AND I GO BUST SOME HEADS?

LET McDOWD'S PEOPLE KNOW THERE'S
NOT GONNA BE ANY REST FOR THE WICKED

TILL SOMEONE GIVES HIM UP.

(David) BUST SOME HEADS?

Y-YOU REALLY THINK YOU
CAN SCARE McDOWD'S FOLKS

MORE THAN McDOWD ALREADY HAS?

WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S BETTER
THAN SITTIN' ON OUR ASSES.

THE TIPS WE GOT NEARLY PAID OFF.

DON, WE HAD THIS
GUY AT THE BAR, OK?

WE'RE GONNA GET HIM AGAIN.

IS THIS HOW YOU ROLL NOW?

LOOK, BACK OFF, COOP. I... I GOT
A WITNESS HERE TO THINK ABOUT.

I'M NOT TAKIN' ANY CHANCES.

(Charlie sighing)

YOU KNOW, I'M SENSING A GROWING
LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION HERE.

I THINK YOU BETTER STEP
OUTSIDE, GET SOME AIR.

(sighing)

MAYBE LET THE PROBLEM
PERCOLATE A LITTLE.

PERCOLATING IS NOT GONNA SOLVE
THE CENTRAL DILEMMA HERE, LARRY.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

I'M TRYIN' TO MAP OUT
McDOWD'S MOVEMENTS.

McDOWD. HE WOULD
BE OUR FUGITIVE, HUH?

THE YELLOW DOTS ARE
UNSOLVED OR UNCREDITED CRIMES

THAT HAVE OCCURRED
SINCE THE BUS CRASH.

CRIMES POSSIBLY
COMMITTED BY McDOWD.

BUT THOSE AREN'T THE PROBLEMS.

THE PROBLEMS ARE THE BLUE DOTS.

SIGHTINGS OF McDOWD CALLED
IN TO L.A.P.D. AND F.B.I. TIP LINES.

EACH DOT IS A TIME AND A PLACE,

BUT THERE ARE... THERE
ARE HUNDREDS OF THEM.

OK, SO THE PROBLEM
IS TOO MUCH DATA.

THE PROBLEM IS CORRUPT
DATA, LARRY. FICTITIOUS DATA.

HERE, LOOK. 9:00
A.M. RIGHT? 9:00 A.M.

McDOWD IS SIGHTED IN 3
SEPARATE LOCATIONS, MILES APART.

OK, OK. SO THE PUBLIC,
HOWEVER WELL-MEANING,

IS ACTUALLY HAMPERING THE SEARCH
BY CALLING IN TOO MANY SIGHTINGS.

UNLESS THIS MAN HAS THE
ABILITY TO BE IN 3 PLACES AT ONCE.

HEY, THAT'S NOT
ENTIRELY IMPOSSIBLE.

I MEAN, QUANTUM
THEORY DOES STATE...

(sighing)

OK. WELL, FOR THE
PURPOSES OF THIS DISCUSSION,

I'LL CONCEDE THE POINT.

WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME?

BECAUSE,

WE'RE ONTO SOMETHING.

McDOWD CANNOT BE
IN 3 PLACES AT ONCE.

HOWEVER, IF WE ANALYZE
THOSE INCOMPATIBILITIES...

OK, OK, OK. SO YOU... WE WOULD
USE BAYESIAN ANALYSIS TO...

TO GRAPH THE MOST RECENT
CLUSTER OF SIGHTINGS

TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THOSE
SIGHTINGS ARE MOST LIKELY TRUE.

(people chattering)

(phone ringing)

(Don) DR. FISHER.

AGENT EPPES, ARE
YOU ALWAYS ON DUTY?

WELL, HEY, LOOK
WHO'S TALKING HERE.

YEAH, WELL, I'M
ALMOST OFF, FINALLY.

YOU CHECKIN' UP ON ME?

NO.

WHAT? WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO GO INTO PROTECTION.

OK, I... I THOUGHT WE
HAD THIS CONVERSATION

AND I MADE MYSELF
CLEAR. KAREN, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU ASKED IF WE HAD
ANYTHING SPECIFIC, AND WE DO.

THE GUY WHO ESCAPED WITH McDOWD
SAID HE IS IN FACT AFTER SOMEONE.

BUT THE POLICEMAN SAID YOU...
YOU SPOTTED HIM, THAT YOU HAD HIM.

WE DID. OK, I'M SORRY.

I... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
TELL YOU, BUT HE GOT AWAY.

BUT NOTHING IS
GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU,

AND WE'RE NOT GONNA
LET HIM GET TO YOU.

BUT YOU GOT TO TRUST ME NOW, OK?

PLEASE. IT'S JUST LIKE
YOUR PATIENTS DO WITH YOU.

OK.

MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE

THAT THEY CAN
TRUST THEIR INSTINCTS.

HOWEVER, MATH SUGGESTS

THAT OUR INSTINCTS
AREN'T ALWAYS CORRECT.

WE'RE GONNA PLAY A LITTLE GAME.

I WANT YOU ALL TO PRETEND
THAT WE'RE ON A GAME SHOW,

AND I'M YOUR CHEESY
GAME SHOW HOST.

AND BEHIND ONE OF THESE
CARDS IS A BRAND NEW AUTOMOBILE.

AND BEHIND THE OTHER 2
ARE GOATS. YEAH, GOATS.

NOW, I NEED A VOLUNTEER.

UH, COME ON, MORE OF
YOU THAN THAT. COME ON.

JULIE, WHY DON'T YOU
PICK ONE OF THESE CARDS?

REMEMBERING, OF COURSE, THE
OBJECT IS TO WIN THE CAR, NOT THE GOAT.

(people laughing)

I'LL TAKE THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE.

SHE TAKES THE MIDDLE CARD.

NOW WHAT ARE THE CHANCES

THAT THAT CARD IS
THE WINNING CARD?

1 IN 3.

3 CHOICES, 1 CAR, RIGHT?

1 IN 3, SIMPLE ENOUGH, RIGHT?

NOW, HERE'S WHERE THE
GAME'S GONNA TAKE A TURN.

I'M GOING TO REVEAL TO YOU ONE OF
THE CARDS THAT YOU DID NOT CHOOSE.

SO, WE HAVE 2 CARDS
YET TO BE REVEALED.

NOW, KNOWING WHAT YOU KNOW, DO
YOU WANT TO SWITCH YOUR CHOICE?

OR, MORE IMPORTANTLY, FOR
THE PURPOSES OF THIS CLASS,

DOES IT MATTER?

WILL SWITCHING YOUR CHOICE
IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING?

WELL, NO. BECAUSE NOW
2 CARDS, IT'S 50-50, RIGHT?

HOW MANY PEOPLE AGREE WITH HER?

THAT'S WHAT YOUR INSTINCT
TELLS YOU, BUT YOU'D BE WRONG.

SWITCHING YOUR
CARDS AT THIS POINT

ACTUALLY DOUBLES YOUR
CHANCES OF WINNING THE CAR.

HOW?

WELL, SINCE WE STARTED
OUT WITH 2 GOATS,

IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOUR
FIRST CHOICE WAS A GOAT.

UH, HERE. WHAT ARE THE
ODDS OF CHOOSING THE GOAT?

2 OUT OF 3.

RIGHT. SO IT'S MORE
LIKELY THAT THIS IS A GOAT,

LESS LIKELY THAT IT'S A CAR,

AND IT'S MORE LIKELY
THAT THIS CARD IS A CAR.

SEE, SWITCHING YOUR CHOICE GIVES YOU
A 2-OUT-OF-3 CHANCE OF WINNING THE CAR

RATHER THAN THE 1-OUT-OF-3
CHANCE THAT WE ALL BEGAN WITH.

(students murmuring)

VROOM, VROOM.

ALL RIGHT. YOU WON A CAR,
JULIE. CONGRATULATIONS.

ALL RIGHT. W-WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK... YEAH, WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

SO, UH, GO HOME, MAKE SOME
OF THESE FOR YOURSELVES,

PUT TOGETHER SOME
REASONABLE "N" SAMPLES,

AND, UH, YEAH, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I'LL SEE YOU ALL
NEXT WEEK. THANKS.

(students chattering)

HI, DAD. WHAT ARE
YOU DOIN' HERE?

OH, I LIKE COMING WHENEVER
CHARLIE GIVES ONE OF THESE

MATH-FOR-DUMMIES LECTURES. OH.

IT'S THE ONLY TIME I ACTUALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S TALKIN' ABOUT.

UH, THIS IS BILLY COOPER.
HE'S AN AGENT I WORK WITH.

HI. SIR.

WE'VE MET BEFORE, HAVEN'T WE?

OH, YEAH. I... I
COULDN'T REMEMBER...

YOU W-WORKED A CASE
WITH DON OUT HERE ONCE?

BACK IN THE DAY, YES, SIR. YEAH.

DONNIE, CAN I TALK
TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

YEAH, SURE. JUST GIVE
ME A SECOND. YEAH.

UM, WHA-WHAT, W-W-WHAT ARE
YOU DOING? WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

WELL, I... I HAVEN'T SEEN
YOU FOR DAYS. I'M WORKIN'.

YEAH, I KNOW, UH,
CHARLIE TOLD ME.

ARE YOU, UH, GOIN' BACK
TO MANHUNTING NOW?

OH, I SEE. DAD, COME ON.

HMM? DON'T. THIS IS ONE CASE.

I SEEM TO RECALL YOUR SAYING THAT
ABOUT ONLY ONE CASE ONCE BEFORE,

BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THEY WERE
NOT GOOD DAYS FOR YOU OR FOR ME.

YEAH. I MEAN, WE DIDN'T
HEAR FROM YOU FOR WEEKS.

WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE THE HELL YOU WERE.

DAD... YOU DO REALIZE THAT,
UH, CHASING AFTER SOMEONE,

YOU COULD BE RUNNING AWAY
FROM YOURSELF AT THE SAME TIME.

HEY, THANKS FOR COMING DOWN.

YEAH, WE JUST GOT HERE.

WHAT'S UP? HEY, CHARLIE.

WHAT'D YOU THINK?
OH, I LOVED IT. I LOVED IT.

YEAH. YEAH?

IT WAS GREAT. YOU WEREN'T BORED?

BORED? NO, NO, NO.
ARE YOU KIDDING?

I CAN GO OUT AND WIN A
GOAT, OR A CAR IF I'M LUCKY.

WELL, ANYWAY,

I GUESS YOU GUYS HAVE SOMETHING
TO TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT,

SO I'LL... I'LL SEE YOU AT
HOME, OK? BOTH OF YOU, HMM?

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

(Charlie) THIS IS THE MAP YOU
GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM.

IT DETAILS EVERY SIGHTING,

EVERY PHONE TIP CONCERNING McDOWD'S
WHEREABOUTS OVER THE LAST 36 HOURS.

AND WHAT'S THAT ONE?

THIS IS FROM MY ALGORITHM.

I TRIED TO FILTER THE GOOD
TIPS FROM THE BAD TIPS,

AT LEAST TRY TO TARGET THOSE WITH
THE GREATER PROBABILITY OF ACCURACY.

AND ALL THIS GIVES US WHAT?

McDOWD'S ACTUAL MOVEMENTS.

YOU SEE, THESE DOTS REPRESENT
NOT ONLY PLACES, BUT TIMES AS WELL.

SO IF WE'RE WORKING
SEQUENTIALLY,

WE CAN FOLLOW HIM FROM
HERE TO HERE TO HERE TO HERE.

SO, WHERE HE'S BEEN AND
WHERE HE'S POSSIBLY HEADED.

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS,

THESE MOVEMENTS ARE NOT
IN McDOWD'S KNOWN TERRITORY.

SEE, TO ME, IT LOOKS LIKE
HE'S MOVING IN CIRCLES, RIGHT?

ACTUALLY, THIS PATTERN IS A
SERIES OF CONCENTRIC CIRCLES.

THEY'RE ALMOST LIKE...
ALMOST LIKE HE'S HUNTING.

THE PATTERN IS SIMILAR TO ONES THAT
CARNIVORES USE TO STALK LARGE PREY.

CAN WE NARROW THIS EVEN MORE?

I WANT TO LOOK AT THE MOVEMENTS
THAT ARE WITHIN THE HUNTING PATTERN.

LIKE HE'S LOOKING FOR
THE MEDICAL CLINIC?

YEAH, AND MAYBE
THE WITNESS'S HOUSE.

WELL, OK, IF WE
ELIMINATE THE MOVEMENTS

NOT CONNECTED TO THIS PATTERN,

THEN THE MOVEMENTS BECOME
CONFINED TO THIS AREA, RIGHT HERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S
ZEE-BOYS' TERRITORY.

ZEE-BOYS? YEAH.

IT'S THIS ASIAN GANG.

I MEAN, DRUGS, GUN-RUNNIN',
THE WHOLE 9 YARDS.

BUT THIS AREA HAS NOTHIN' TO DO
WITH THE WITNESS, SO, WHO'S HE AFTER?

THE GANG'S RUN BY THIS
CHARACTER NAMED ROMEO CHOI,

I MEAN, A REAL PIECE OF WORK.

D.E.A.'S BEEN AFTER HIM, BUT THEY
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A CASE.

HMM. (Don) WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT IS IT?

I THINK THERE'S A
SHIPPING DEPOT HERE

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A
FRONT FOR THE ZEE-BOYS.

YOU THINK CHOI'S
McDOWD'S TARGET?

COULD BE.

(Cooper) YOU SAID D.E.A.'S
BEEN AFTER CHOI FOR A WHILE.

YEAH, BUT THEY'VE JUST BEEN
BANGING THEIR HEADS AGAINST A WALL.

(Cooper) YOU SMELL THAT?

YEAH. SOMEONE FIRED A GUN.

MORE THAN ONCE.

STILL WARM.

IF THIS IS McDOWD'S WORK...

WE MUST HAVE JUST MISSED HIM.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH EVERY
FILE ON McDOWD AND CHOI,

AND THERE'S NOTHING
THAT LINKS THEM TOGETHER.

WELL, THERE'S GOT TO
BE. HE WAS HUNTING HIM.

MAYBE IT WAS A POWER GRAB.

MAYBE McDOWD'S TRYING TO
TAKE OVER CHOI'S DRUG OPERATION.

ZEE-BOYS GOT A LONG
CHAIN OF COMMAND.

NO WAY McDOWD JUST STEPS IN.

OK, SO MAYBE McDOWD'S
WORKIN' WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.

I MEAN, THE GUY WAS
A CONTRACT KILLER.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, LET'S
JUST BREAK IT DOWN.

WE GOT THE BUS ACCIDENT.

WE GOT THE GARDENER AND
THE TRUCK DRIVER IN ON IT.

NOW, I SAY THERE'S GOT
TO BE MORE PLAYERS.

SOMEONE HAD TO KNOW McDOWD WAS
BEING TRANSFERRED. SOMEONE HAD TO.

DONNIE, ANYONE WITH
THAT KIND OF INFORMATION

IS WORKING ON THE
INSIDE, AND IT'S A LONG LIST.

PRISON OFFICIALS,
CORRECTIONS OFFICERS.

WELL, ACCORDING TO THIS, McDOWD
AND WILLIAMS ARE IN THE 4TH ROW.

ALL RIGHT, WILLIAMS IS AGAINST THE
WINDOW, McDOWD IS ACROSS THE AISLE.

ALL RIGHT, SAY YOU'RE
McDOWD OVER HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKIN'?

THAT'S WILLIAMS.

I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN ASSUMING

THAT HE FREED HIMSELF
WITH THE GUARD'S KEYS.

YEAH, AFTER HE SHOT HIM.

BUT YOU'RE McDOWD,
AND I'M THE GUARD.

THERE'S NO WAY I
CAN REACH YOUR GUN.

NOT UNLESS YOUR
HANDS ARE ALREADY FREE.

(Don) THAT YOUR SIGNATURE?

WHAT ABOUT IT?

GOT 6 PRISONERS PROCESSED
AND SECURED FOR TRANSFER?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

(Cooper) ONLY THEY WEREN'T
SECURED, WERE THEY?

AT LEAST NOT McDOWD.

UH, LOOK, I... I DON'T... I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

HEY, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

IS THE FACT THAT McDOWD WAS ABLE TO
GET THE GUN AWAY FROM THE MARSHAL

AND KILL HIM WITH IT, THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SEE, THE PROBLEM IS THAT McDOWD WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE SHACKLED AT THE TIME.

THE... THE CHAIN MUST'VE
BROKE DURING THE CRASH.

IT DIDN'T. WE CHECKED.

AND THE THING I
CAN'T RECONCILE WITH,

BECAUSE I LOOKED
IN YOUR FILE, RAYNOR,

I MEAN, YOU GOT 15 YEARS,
POSITIVE PERFORMANCE.

YOU'RE GONNA HELP
SOMEONE LIKE McDOWD?

WHAT ARE YOU, STRAPPED FOR CASH?

HUH? SOME GANGBANGER
THREATEN YOUR LIFE?

WHICH DOESN'T MATTER,
'CAUSE EITHER WAY,

YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT A
MURDER CONSPIRACY.

AND I KNOW YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE.

WE WANT YOUR COOPERATION.
YOU GIVE IT TO US,

WE MAKE SURE THE U.S.
ATTORNEY KNOWS ABOUT IT.

OTHERWISE, WE TOSS YOU OVER
TO THE GUYS YOU'VE BEEN GUARDING.

(sighing)

HE ARRESTED MY BROTHER.

WHO ARRESTED YOUR BROTHER?

HE PLANTED EVIDENCE.

A DRUG CHARGE.

BUT WHO ARE THEY GONNA BELIEVE?

IF HE WANTED TO SEND MY LITTLE
BROTHER TO PRISON, HE COULD DO IT.

(Don) WAIT, HOLD... HOLD...
I'VE SEEN IT DONE BEFORE.

H-HOLD ON. JUST BACK UP NOW.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT HERE, RAYNOR?

L.A.P.D.

DETECTIVE REED.

SO REED FREES McDOWD.
McDOWD KILLS CHOI.

THERE'S GOT TO BE
A CONNECTION THERE.

(David) THERE IS.

D.E.A. JUST TURNED CHOI AS
AN INFORMANT 6 WEEKS AGO.

WELL, THERE IT IS. CHOI
WAS COOPERATING?

YEP, AND APPARENTLY
REED'S NAME CAME UP

IN SOME OF CHOI'S
DEBRIEFING SESSIONS.

THE D.E.A. WAS JUST
STARTING TO LOOK INTO REED.

SO REED FINDS OUT CHOI'S GONNA MAKE
HIM DIRTY, GETS McDOWD OUT TO KILL CHOI.

(David) YEP.

I MEAN, HE'S INVESTIGATED McDOWD.
THEY DEFINITELY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP.

WHAT DOES McDOWD GET
IN RETURN FOR KILLING CHOI?

ISN'T HIS FREEDOM ENOUGH?

NO, REED'S TOO SMART FOR THAT.

HE'S GONNA HOLD SOMETHING BACK TO
GUARANTEE THAT McDOWD WILL DELIVER.

HE'S RIGHT. IF McDOWD'S
FREE, HE COULD JUST DISAPPEAR.

IT'S KAREN. IT'S THE WITNESS.

WE GOT HER AT A SAFE HOUSE.

NO, REED'S UNIT WOULD DEFINITELY
BE PART OF THAT D.E.A. TASK FORCE.

HE'D HAVE ACCESS TO
THE FED'S DATABASE.

WE'VE GOT TO GET
TO THAT SAFE HOUSE.

(tires screeching)

HE'S ALIVE. WE GOT
AN AGENT DOWN.

(McDowd) SHUT UP! GO THAT WAY.

(Karen crying)

(McDowd) SHUT UP, KAREN!

(Don) F.B.I.!

(Karen) HELP ME!

LET HER GO, McDOWD!

GET IN THE ROOM, LOCK THE DOOR!

COOP, HE'S HEADING TO THE ROOF!

(panting)

(gun clicking)

YOU MOVE, THERE'S A HOLE IN
YOUR HEAD, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

YOU MIGHT AS WELL
SHOOT. I'M ALREADY DEAD.

HE COULD JUST FALL OFF THE ROOF.

SAVE YOUR WITNESS A
BUNCH OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE.

YOU COULD AT LEAST GRAB HIS GUN.

(sighing)

THANKS. IT'LL JUST BE
A FEW MORE MINUTES.

HEY. I GOT IT. HOW'RE YOU DOING?

I'M, UM... I'M OK.

YEAH? YOU SURE? YEAH.

HOW ABOUT YOU? YEAH, I'M OK.

YOU SHOULD REALLY GET
THAT LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW.

OH, RIGHT.

YOU DON'T KNOW A DOCTOR
BY ANY CHANCE, DO YOU?

(laughs)

I MIGHT.

DONNIE, WE GOT EYEBALLS ON REED.

OK. I GOTTA GO.

WE'LL MAKE SURE WE
GET YOU HOME NOW, OK?

HEY, SIEGEL! YO! GOT YOU.

TAKE CARE. OK.

HEY, AGENT EPPES,

THANKS.

(man) HEY, THERE YOU GO, MAN.

GRACIAS.

(Don) DON'T MOVE, REED.

DROP THE BAGS.
WHAT THE HELL IS...

DROP THE BAGS! GET
YOUR HANDS UP. GET 'EM UP!

OH, COME ON. WHO DO YOU
THINK THEY'RE GONNA BELIEVE?

A CONVICTED MURDERER
OR A DECORATED COP?

MY MONEY'S ON THE CONVICT.

GIVE ME YOUR HANDS. TURN AROUND.

LET'S GO.

HEY. SO, YOU'RE OUT OF HERE?

HEADIN' TO PHOENIX.

METH TWEAKER I BEEN CHASING.

ANY CHANCE WE CAN
GET YOU TO STICK AROUND,

MAYBE PUT IN FOR A
POSITION AROUND HERE?

WHAT, AND SETTLE DOWN?

HEY, IT'S NOT BAD,
COOP, I GOT TO TELL YOU.

YOU DON'T MISS IT?

NO. NOT REALLY, NO.

THE RUSH YOU GET WHEN
YOU'RE HAULIN' HIS ASS IN,

YOUR FUGITIVE'S A COUPLE OF HOURS
AHEAD OF YOU AND YOU'RE CLOSIN' GROUND?

ALL RIGHT, MAYBE A LITTLE.

HEY, BUT NOT BEING IN
TOUCH WITH MY FAMILY,

NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO
ANYBODY, I DON'T MISS THAT.

I DON'T KNOW, I THINK
L.A. IS GOOD FOR ME.

WELL,

THAT'S A GOOD THING.

KEEP YOUR HEAD
DOWN, HUH? I'LL DO THAT.

IT'S THE ROOK. RIGHT.

IT'S NOT TOO DISTRACTING
FOR YOU, IS IT, CHARLIE?

YEAH, CHARLIE.

YOU WORKING AND PLAYING
CHESS AT THE SAME TIME?

ME? I'M FINE.

IT'S NOT ME YOU GUYS
NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

OK. WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

MMM-HMM.

GENTLEMEN, WINNING
ISN'T EVERYTHING.

(Don) OH, WHA... SINCE WHEN?

NO, NO, COME ON, COME ON.
YOU! "WINNING ISN'T EVERYTHING".

SINCE YOU GUYS NEVER WIN.

COME ON, WHO
CARES WHO WINS, HUH?

IT'S ABOUT HAVING FUN. YOU KNOW, BEING
TOGETHER AND TALKING TO EACH OTHER

AND, UH, HAVING
A LITTLE FACE TIME.

(sighing)

(Alan) OK, CHARLIE.

YEAH, AND BY THE WAY, ANOMALY
HAS ONLY ONE "O," CHARLIE.

WHAT?

YEAH. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S YOUR MOVE.

YOU KNOW WHAT, DO ME A
FAVOR, LEAVE ME ALONE, OK?

I USE THAT WORD IN MATH E-EVERY
SINGLE DAY, OK? I CAN SPELL THAT WORD.

(Alan) WE KNOW THAT
YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT,

BUT YOU CERTAINLY DON'T
KNOW HOW TO SPELL IT.

IT'S A-L-Y, NOT O-L-Y.

(Charlie laughing)

AND BY THE WAY, IT'S
YOUR TURN AGAIN, CHARLIE.

I KNOW HOW TO SPELL
THE WORD "ANOMALY," OK?

NO, YOU DON'T.

GET A DICTIONARY. RIGHT
NOW, GET A DICTIONARY.

I THINK YOU BETTER. ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I USE
THAT WORD IN A DAY, EVERY DAY?

NO, BUT I DO KNOW
THAT IT'S YOUR TURN.

MY TURN? ALL RIGHT, HERE.

VERY NICE. I SEE THE WORD.

HERE YOU GO.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT...

(clearing throat)

(Don) THAT WOULD
BE, UH, ONE "O."

IS THIS A RELIABLE DICTIONARY?

COME ON, CHARLIE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.

WELL, YOU BETTER BELIEVE
IT. AND GUESS WHAT?

WHAT?

(Alan) CHECKMATE.

CHECKMATE.

OH! YEAH, I SEE.

YOU GUYS ARE
GANGIN' UP ON ME, HUH?

WHAT, YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE,

THAT LITTLE
DISTRACTION THING, HUH?

(Alan) OH, COME ON,
CHARLIE. THAT'S GOOD.

CHESS IS NOT JUST ABOUT
MOVING PIECES, YOU KNOW.

(cell phone ringing) YOU KNOW
WHAT? THIS IS THE LAST GAME.

I'M NOT PLAYING ANYMORE.
(Alan) OH, COME ON, CHARLIE.

IT'S JUST A GAME.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL BE
THERE IN 20 MINUTES.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, SORRY. HATE
TO WIN AND RUN, BUT I GOT TO GO.

WELL, DIDN'T YOU
JUST GET OFF WORK?

YEAH, WELL, NOW I'M BACK ON.

WELL, I GUESS YOU GOT
TO DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

SORRY. LOOK, I'LL
CALL YOU GUYS LATER.

MAYBE WE'LL GRAB A
BITE TO EAT, ALL RIGHT?

RIGHT. YEAH, DON'T WORRY.

I'LL... I'LL TAKE CARE OF THE
OLD MAN WHILE YOU'RE GONE.

ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU,
GUYS. (Alan) SEE YOU.

"OLD MAN"?

I USE IT STRICTLY AS A TERM
OF ENDEARMENT, FATHER.

WELL, YOU BETTER PREPARE
YOURSELF, MY LITTLE BOY,

BECAUSE THIS OLD MAN
IS GONNA KICK YOUR ASS.

OH, YEAH? WHAT, ARE
YOU GONNA CHEAT AGAIN?

NO. I'M GOING TO GET
THE SCRABBLE BOARD.

UH, S-SCRABBLE'S
MISSING A PIECE.
