Numb3rs (2005–2010): Season 6, Episode 8 - Ultimatum - full transcript

♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-whoo ♪

♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo... ♪

CHARLIE: In pursuit-evasion,

one group tries to track
down members of another.

DON: You just
kicked in the door.

You're looking
for a third striker.

Let's say you're the pursuer,

and you occupy the
same node as your evader.

He's captured and removed.

However, if your
evader can find a way

to outmaneuver you, he escapes.



(dog barking)

The goal here is to gain an
advantage over your opponent

by changing the movement
rules using variants.

DON: A K-9 team.

(dog barks, students laugh)

Or you could change
the edge weight.

Get air support.

What if the K-9 team is busy,

the chopper's down for repairs,
and backup is 20 minutes out?

What's pursuit-evasion
say, then?

Let's look at fish.

When fish sense
disturbances around them,

they go into a defensive
reflex called a C-start.

♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-whoo ♪



♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo... ♪

(panting)

The snake has found a way

to introduce a
variant into the game.

As the fish approaches,

the snake ripples its
body toward the fish,

which sends the fish off
in the opposite direction.

(panting)

You see, the snake
anticipates and then executes

a predictive strike

aimed at where
the fish will end up.

(dog barking)

♪ Unusual fools... ♪

Know your opponent.

Is he a runner, has
he got any priors,

is he injured, is
he gonna roll over,

is he gonna try to
shoot it out with us?

It's a game.

Control it.

I swear I didn't
know it was you.

You don't want me.

I'm not worth the trouble.

Oh, no.

It's not mine.

Just carrying for a friend.

Your friend Felipe Garcia?

Who?

Lie to your girlfriend when
she asks if you love her,

but don't lie to me. Here.

Last I heard, Garcia
was serving two years.

Yeah? Last I heard, he escaped.

You called him the day before.

I rat him out, I'm in
the obits tomorrow.

(gasps)

This is Whisky 33. I need a unit

at Wilshire and Bixel.

Just give me two hours.

- I'll see what I can find out.
- (chuckles)

Do I look like I just got
hit by the stupid stick?

I screw with you, I
know what happens...

- I go to jail.
- In an ambulance.

Hour 59. Get going.

Ticktock!

NIKKI: So the snake just

sits around all
day and gets fat?

Hardly.

If the snake gets

too preoccupied with
chasing that fish...

he could very easily become
someone else's dinner.

Rise and shine.

Hands in the air!

Gun!

Yeah, I'm an FBI agent.

You are under arrest

for the murder of
Vincent Costello.

Are you listening to me?

The same guy signs
both our checks.

I'm Agent Ian Edgerton.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say
can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

All right, do me a favor: Call
Don Eppes over at the FBI.

♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo ♪

♪ Whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-whoo ♪

Prison is where
convicted felons go.

Aren't we skipping a step?

Detention centers
are overcrowded.

This will give you a
chance to catch up

with some of your old friends.

You know, the guys
you put away for life.

DON: Ian, do you know this guy?

Xavier Salazar,

top-ten FBI most-wanted
list, 2000 to 2005.

I arrested him in
Bogota, Colombia.

He's currently serving a
life sentence right here.

Salazar's been running a
massive heroin ring from inside.

Ooh! It's true what they
say about a broken watch

telling the right
time twice a day.

You've been helping him,

letting key associates
of his run free.

Yeah, of course I have.

Half a million dollars
in an offshore account

with your name on it.

Transfers came from several

of Salazar's holding companies.

I'm being set up.

Costello was gonna give you up,

so you killed him.

(chuckling): News flash...

The Easter Bunny,
he's not real either.

They found this in a
sewer about a block away

from where Costello was killed.

Someone must have
stolen it from my apartment.

We searched your place,
Ian. There was no sign

- of forced entry.
- Well, then I must be guilty.

DON: Why were you meeting him?

We've been trying to
shut down Salazar, too.

The key is his
bookkeeper, Felipe Garcia.

Garcia escaped from
here a month ago.

Costello was ready to
give me Garcia's location.

Salazar must have found
out and had him killed.

Costello left me a clue:

B-17; it's a location.

B block, 17th
cell. I don't think

Garcia ever left here.

It's impossible. Every prisoner
in here gets an I.D. bracelet

like that, just
like at a hospital.

Gets scanned once a day.

If Garcia's here, he'd
have shown up by now.

Have you ever known
my instincts to be wrong?

I'm ready to go back to my cell.

(handcuffs tightening)

(metal door slamming)

(inmate chattering indistinctly)

I'm betting I can
crack his windpipe

before you hit that button.

(strained): Listen to him.

Give me the keys... now!

Hey.

Edgerton may be the
FBI's top fugitive hunter,

but a social butterfly
the man is not.

Last 12 hours, he's
made no phone calls,

went to the movies by himself.

I mean, he's gonna kill
a guy with his own knife

and dumps it a block away?

- (alarm sounds) -MAN (on
P.A.): Attention all personnel.

Prison is now in lockdown mode.

Attention all personnel.
Prison is now in lockdown mode.

He took the 2,000
hallway to the south ramp.

He's on the roof. Go! Go!

Phillips! Get these off me.

Nothing. David?

Nothing!

Colby?

Nothing but daylight.

Edgerton is good,
but I don't think

he can make himself invisible.

All right. We need to get

the security footage
from Thompson.

We need to look at all
escape routes, right?

And he said something
about block B-17.

So find out who's housed there.

I know Edgerton's a risk
taker, but escaping from here,

that's a long
shot, even for him.

(indistinct chatter)

Only place that
ramp leads is the roof.

Any cameras up there?

Edgerton broke the cable.

Your guy knows how to
get himself lost in a hurry,

I'll give him that.

He's been hunting
fugitives his whole life.

If he wants to stay lost,
guy's gonna stay lost.

Hope you don't
mind if I disagree

with that last statement.

Janet Galvin, team leader,

Pacific Fugitive
Apprehension Squad.

You have Edgerton. I have her.

Your boy's got all the classic

pathological
behavior of a felon.

- Really?
- Loner, not much supervision,

never sleeps in the same
spot two nights in a row.

Doesn't take much for
an individual like that

to flip to the dark side.

Dark side?

I've seen it before.

Spend your life watching
bad guys wearing $2,000 suits,

driving Ferraris, a beautiful
woman on their arm.

Only so many
cheeseburgers a man can eat

before he wants
a piece of filet.

Well, he's more
of a venison man,

and he likes to
kill his own dinner.

This is probably hard for you.

The one's closest are
usually the last to find out.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I have a fugitive to hunt.

Marshals have jurisdiction

inside a prison, which
means this is my operation.

Of course, we'll
keep you apprised

if we find anything out; I
expect the same in return.

Sure.

So, Garcia was never
inside cell block B-17.

Making nice with the new
kids on the playground?

I'm trying, but I think they
just took our football away.

REPORTER: He is one of their
own; Special Agent Ian Edgerton,

who is believed
to be the suspect

in the murder of
Vincent Costello.

Costello was a career criminal

who was stabbed
to death last night.

Now, what Edgerton's
possible motive...

Now I know what my
brother means when he says,

"The only easy
day was yesterday."

(Charlie sighs)

Murder suspect, wanted fugitive.

That's just not the
Ian Edgerton I know.

Tell me about it.

Where I grew up, in East L.A.,

dating bad guys
meant dating bad guys.

Hell, my prom date
held up the flower shop

he got my corsage from.

- Wow.
- Ian...

is not those guys.

You know what Einstein said?

"A man should look

for what is and not for
what he thinks should be."

I'm looking, but
I'm still not believing

what I'm seeing.

What's your pursuit-evasion
say about this?

Oh, that all logic
goes out the window.

When a snake
hunting another snake?

Actually, no.
Game theory tells us

that if someone's
feeling unfairly wronged,

like Ian, their response
is rarely logical.

You know what? Here.

Check it out.

Here's a hundred dollars.

So let's say a stranger
tells you to divide that

between the two of
us however you want.

(chuckles) $30?

- Really?
- No offense,

but my 401(k) and the
economy aren't seeing eye to eye.

Okay, well, according
to the ultimatum game,

I can either accept
or reject this offer.

If I reject it, neither
of us get anything.

But I'm gonna reject it anyway,

because if you're
not gonna offer

me 50-50, I'm not taking it.

You're turning down free money
because you want to punish me?

People have a tremendous
desire for revenge,

even if it's at the risk
of hurting themselves.

So Ian's goal isn't to escape,

it's to punish someone.

It's a four-story drop...
If Edgerton jumped,

there'd be plenty of
evidence for us to find.

I don't get it, where
the hell is the guy?

My best guess:
the elevator shaft.

Might've rode down on
the top of one of the cars

and snuck out on
a different level.

GALVIN: My boys
already cleared this.

I guess you didn't see the
yellow crime scene tape.

I need to remind you
who's running this operation?

Well, I guess it would be you...

You got the nice,
laminated map here, right?

Look at this, Colby.

It's got all these colors;
much nicer than ours.

It's all yours.

This actually is a
lot better than ours.

What's with all
this extra detail?

Prison underwent an earthquake
retrofitting a few years back.

This shows the before and after.

Look at this right here.

There's an access
hatch in that vent.

It was covered over, looks
like, during the renovation.

Well, I guess your
boys missed this, huh?

How would Edgerton
even know about that?

'Cause he's been bringing
prisoners here for 20 years.

(grunts)

Well, take a look at this.

Guess we don't need a DNA
test to tell us whose this is.

(sighs)

He's not in here.

DAVID: Section 5A is clear.

How is this sitting with you?

Ian and I went to
a Dodgers game,

not a chapel in Vegas.

I can still do my job.

I was asking for your
insight as an FBI agent.

Things aren't looking
too good for him.

Three of Ian's CIs were
drug runners for Salazar.

The most useful CIs are
usually the dirtiest ones.

That's why they have
the good information.

I was LAPD during Rampart.

Some of the best
cops I knew went down.

So Ian is the last person I
would expect to be on the take.

Marshals said they
covered about 60%

of the rooms
connected to the air vent.

Here we go.

(door opens)

(brief clatter in distance)

(low, mechanical humming)

It's nothing.

(grunting)

- (alarm ringing) -All
right, all right, take it easy!

COLBY: Don, you need to
take the shot, you just take it.

Too late, you should've
shot right away...

Now you're thinking too much.

That's when you make mistakes.

I thought you
were innocent, Ian.

- I am.
- Yeah, I can see that.

Don't let him get in your head,
Don, you do what you need to do.

- GALVIN: I've got him.
- I've seen you shoot, Galvin...

You're not that good.

He's not gonna hurt Colby.

He knows he'd be
dead one second later.

Yeah, then go ahead and
pull the trigger, Sinclair...

Kill your own partner.

Don't do anything stupid, okay?

There's a way out of this.

Looks like we've got
ourselves an honest-to-God

Mexican standoff...
Who's blinking first?

You want to die, fine by me.

It's your decision, Don...
You know what I'm capable of.

Eppes, don't back down.

All right, David, get them out.

Get out. Get out!

- Come on, move. Up.
- Let's go, move! Let's go.

What the hell

- do you think you're doing?
- Trying to save a life.

Look, we all want the same
thing here, okay? So back off.

THOMPSON: Set up
a CP. Deploy SWAT.

DAVID: Slow your roll, okay?

Listen, there's an
FBI agent inside there.

We are taking tactical command.

This is a United States
penitentiary, my turf.

DON: Hey.

We're handling negotiations.

Fine. It's your guy's neck

on the line in there.

You do the talking.

For now.

What happened in there?

I had a shot,
and I didn't take it.

Don, come on, talk to me.

Look, I need some time.

Just... you're in charge.

Let me be clear about something.

(grunts)

The FBI...

the marshals...

they put me in this situation.

COLBY: Ian... (scoffs)

I always knew you
were a nine ball,

but, you know, I
considered your track record,

I figured it was okay.

Let me ask you something.

How many HRTs you been on?

Fifty-seven.

And how many times did
the perp wind up in jail?

Forty-one.

What happened the
other 16 times, Ian?

(sighs)

I had to clean my
gun when I got home.

There's two things you got to
understand about me, Granger.

Number one, I
didn't kill Costello.

And two?

There's no way
I'm going to jail.

I hate to be the one
to break this to you,

but you're already here.

You're hardwired in.

- Here we go.
- Hey, Ian...

told me that he
sometimes gets down

when he's not out on a hunt.

I didn't think much
of it at the time,

but... now I don't know.

Maybe it means something.

Okay.

(phone line ringing)

(phone ringing)

I'll keep it simple.

G5 fueled on the tarmac at
LAX and a Beatles reunion.

DAVID (on phone): I want
to know what I have to do

to get my partner
out of there safely.

There's only Paul and
Ringo... Shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah, you want to play around?

I got 20 marshals
out here, itching

to turn this into a bloodbath,

- okay?
- Get me Professor Eppes

on a video feed in
the next 20 minutes.

I need to know that Colby

- is all right.
- He's fine.

And as long as no one
does anything stupid,

like a crisis entry,
which I'm sure

the marshals are pushing for,

he'll stay that way.

Phone.

Talk.

Ian...

(on phone): it's me.

Betancourt, it's been a while
since I've heard your voice.

Yeah, well, you stopped calling.

Yeah, uh...

fugitive hunt in the
Abajo Mountains.

Cell phone service
really sucked.

Back out on the hunt.

That must've made you happy.

I'll tell you what
will make me happy,

is to have my friends trust me.

NIKKI: Yeah, we do.

I do.

Really? That's why you
keep me on the phone,

so the marshals can find

a way to take me out!

Taking Colby hostage

is not gonna help your case.

If you're innocent,
we'll prove it.

I spent my career putting
my ass on the line, thinking

it'll make a difference, and
how does the Bureau repay me?

By putting me behind bars!

By believing scum like Salazar!

No one's convicted
you of anything yet.

Yeah, sure they haven't.

If Charlie's not on
my computer screen

in the next 19 minutes, it's
gonna get real messy in here.

- Basic rules...
- Prolong the situation,

ensure the safety
of the hostages,

and, um, to...

- Keep...
- To keep things calm.

DON: Right.

I think I've got it down.

Okay. I mean, he's
going to try to test you,

you know, with... with
unreasonable demands.

And I thought synthetic
differential geometry

was confusing.

All right. This is Eppes.

I got him. Patch us through.

Hey, Ian?

Sorry to drag you
into this, Professor,

but I need your skills.

Uh...

listen, I need to
ask you about Colby.

How is he doing?

Here.

Everything's going
to be fine, Charlie.

Just listen to what he
has to say, all right?

Satisfied?

Uh, yeah, and, uh,

how are... how
are you doing, Ian?

Oh, fine, except for the fact

that I've been set
up for a murder

I didn't commit, and
I'm looking at a trip

to the death chamber.
How about you?

Surprisingly nervous.

Find your Zen quickly.

You're the only one who
can help me out here.

Salazar was afraid

that Garcia was going
to testify against him,

so he ordered him to be
whacked, but Garcia escaped

- before the job got done.
- Escaped felons...

Isn't that what
they pay you to do?

Ha!

Outside, Garcia had nowhere

to turn for money,
but Salazar's people.

He wouldn't have
lasted ten minutes.

But inside the jail... That
would be the perfect place

for him hide until he
could talk to the cops

and guarantee
protection for himself.

You think Garcia is hiding
inside the prison system?

Using someone else's identity.

What I was trying
to tell your brother.

The prisoners all
wear I.D. bracelets.

Easy enough to get off.

And once you do,
you're lost in the system.

- How many prisoners are there?
- 6,000.

Okay, now I understand
why you called me.

You're talking about a
longitudinal socializing process

as it applies to the
prison population.

Sounds complex.

It's very.

Well, hopefully not too complex,

because Colby's really counting
on you to get the right answer.

Edgerton seems pretty confident

that Garcia is
still in the system.

And what do we
have on the escape?

Well, marshals found this

in the exercise yard.

Did a cell check ten minutes
later... Garcia was gone.

So, what actual proof
do we have that he left?

This... (tapping keys)

is a video of visitors
leaving the jail

before it was locked down.

Now, those two were cleared.

(typing)

Marshals think
this... is Garcia.

See, his pants are short.

They figured he got
clothes from the lawyer,

but the size was off.

Yeah, wait, wait.

Look at this.
Says he's a righty.

This guy's opened the
door with his left hand.

Okay, Charlie, you're
looking at 6,000 prisoners.

Maybe not.

Garcia lived in a specific cell,

which means he was
only exposed to a portion

of the prison
population each day.

Still, it's got to be
a thousand people.

We don't have time
to interview them all.

Well, with longitudinal
socializing process,

we may not have to.

Detention facilities
are breeding ground

for criminal
enterprises, aren't they?

And that's going to help us...?

It's like the TV show Survivor,

where every contestant
is assigned to a tribe

and each player
competes in challenges.

The players have to
use their individual skills

in order for the
tribe to succeed,

so that when they go
to the Tribal Council,

if they've built their
alliances correctly,

they survive.

Jails aren't that
much different.

The networks that
are established in jails

offer significant financial

and logistical
resources to criminals.

The petty thief blends his
skills with the gunrunner,

or the accountant
who embezzled millions

allies with the drug kingpin
who can launder his money.

And so a longitudinal

socializing process looks for

the most beneficial
patterns in relationships.

NIKKI: Who Garcia would have had

to build alliances
with in order to survive

being whacked by Salazar.

I can run data and narrow
down possible matches.

But I need your help in
analyzing final candidates.

Let's do it.

Stale.

Hey. I know how you can
get yourself a nice, hot pizza.

Sorry, but you're worth a
little more to me than that.

I could've gone for Eppes,

but you know what it's like.

I know what it's like, how?

Everyone in the FBI thought
you were spying for the Chinese.

The one man who could
prove your innocence was dead.

I mean, hell, even your
partner thought you were guilty.

This is nothing like
what I went through.

If you're waiting on the
Stockholm syndrome to kick in,

it's going to be a long night.

If I get ahold of that gun,

I won't hesitate
to take you out.

Department of Corrections
just sent over Garcia's file.

He was serving two years
for obstruction of justice.

Wait. So he should have
been in minimum security.

Yeah. Apparently,
Garcia thought so, too.

He wrote multiple
letters to the prison board.

Claimed his life was in danger.

What, they just ignored it?

No, they signed off
on several transfers.

But each time, the
orders were rescinded

at the very last minute.

Well, why's that?

That information's probably
available at the prison.

Thought you might want
to get back in the game.

Questioning my judgment?

No.

My own, maybe.

Give yourself a break.

You know, we might
turn out to be right.

Is that why you
didn't take the shot?

- You think he's innocent?
- I hope so.

Don't worry. Colby's
in good hands.

I just spoke with Don.

He and Charlie are
narrowing down their list.

I'm not going to sit
around and do nothing

while your boy wonder
plays with his abacus.

I'd like to probe the perimeter,

see if I can't get a
camera under the door.

Edgerton's a master at tactics.

He is going to
be expecting that.

THOMPSON: This thing may
not end the way you want it to.

We need to be ready.

Look, it's a mistake.

I'm not asking your
permission, Sinclair.

Go.

(Galvin yells,
Edgerton chuckles)

Damn it! Pull back!

(laughs)

Eh, it was just a few volts.
Enough to send a message.

Yeah? What message is that?

"I'm a sociopath who
enjoys hurting people"?

I always liked you, Granger.

Served in the military,
not afraid to mix it up.

We're not so different.

Really?

'Cause from where I'm
sitting, I'd say we are.

Just the facts, ma'am, huh?

Hmm.

Dragnet.

I used to love that show.

It's what made me
want to become a cop.

I bet it did.

The beginning, when Joe
Friday's describing Los Angeles?

Shots of the beautiful
women on the beach?

No, the end.

When the prisoner would hold
up his plaque for the mug shot.

The announcer would
tell you his sentence.

Charlie won't let me down.

It's possible you
don't have all the facts.

What exactly is it you
expect he's going to find?

You know, Joe Friday
never actually said that line.

But enough people

repeat something, and soon
enough, it becomes the truth.

It doesn't mean it's right.

Okay. So, these are the
53 most likely convicts

that Garcia could have
switched bracelets with.

- We'll start with Guy Baker.
- Hm-mm.

What do you mean, mm?

Look, he's got three kids.

There's no way he's
going to cross Salazar.

Okay.

How about Jorge Ramos?

Yeah, maybe.

I mean, his father-in-law
makes Salazar look small-time.

Anything happens to his
daughter or his grandkids,

Salazar is dead.

CHARLIE: Orlando Casindo.

No. Look. His
sentence is almost up.

(chuckles)

You're amazing, you know?

The more stressful
the circumstance,

the more clarity you have.

Yeah, well, look, my
life were on the line,

and someone asked you
the square root of 2007?

44.7995535,
give or take a digit.

See, that's clear thinking.

I could have ended
this back at the prison.

What, by killing Ian?

I mean, it's what the
textbook says to do.

You know, after seeing
the destruction at Hiroshima,

Robert Oppenheimer
spent the rest of his life

fighting nuclear proliferation

and totally
destroyed his career,

but he valued the lives of his
friends and family even more.

You know, I'm thinking your
instinct was self-preservation.

Galvin's got a second-degree
burn on her hand.

Thompson, I
warned you not to go.

What, are you on his side now?

I cannot keep this jail
in lockdown forever.

We can't even get
a visual on your guy.

- He could be dead, for all we know.
- (phone rings)

You're not going in, okay?

Not yet.

Sinclair.

Hey, David. We've narrowed
down the list of potential prisoners

that Garcia switched
bracelets with to seven.

Pete Lugo.

Sean Piñeiro.

Hakeem Watkins.

Terell Post.

Robert Ortiz.

Randy Shannon.

And Matthew Nunn.

Empty cell.

Records indicate he's
in courthouse holding.

Which one's Matthew Nunn?

Hey, come here.

(grunts)

Where's Garcia?

I never heard of the man.

Think harder or I swear,

you'll be serving your
sentence plus his, his,

and maybe his, too.

I don't know. That's
the truth, I swear.

Some dude said he'd
get $1,000 to my wife

if I switched
bracelets with him.

Damn it!

(phone rings)

Find him?

DAVID (on phone): We're
having some problems.

Charlie needs some more time.

You are gonna make me
hurt this man to prove my point!

DAVID: Ian, don't. Ian? Ian?

- Your boy's losing it.
- What's my best option?

Explosives.

We'll go through the wall.

You give me 20 minutes,

I'll end this thing.

Do it.

These are the prisoners waiting
to be taken back to the jail.

And there's Garcia.

As you can see, we don't know

which van he went on, or
whose bracelet he's wearing now.

And every prisoner that
Garcia switched bracelets with

has increased his
chances of survival.

The first bracelet got him

out of his cell block,
and the next one

got him to the courthouse.

Tell me where he's going next,
I'll buy you a new Rubik's Cube.

It's pursuit-evasion.

I knew we'd be back to
the snake and the fish.

Nope. Two children
playing hide-and-seek.

The seeker counts to
50 and begins looking.

But kids don't go from room
to room in an efficient manner.

They run to places like the
basement or the attic first,

places that offer
the best hiding spots.

In a similar manner,
we look at prisoners

who could have switched
bracelets with Garcia

at the courthouse and rank them
based on where they're housed,

or who has the safest hiding
spot from Salazar and his men.

(crickets chirping)

(sighs)

You know, when I was, like, 12,

there was this
kid, Ricky Caroll,

the bully who used to
terrorize the neighborhood.

So, one day,

me and my friend,
we, uh, hid out

and waited for him
and jumped him.

And?

We beat the crap out of him.

Then I got home and I told
my old man what happened,

and, uh, he beat
the crap out of me

and said it was
better to fail with honor

than to win by cheating.

Think I should just quit?

Trust my fate to a jury?

I'd rather see you have
your day in court alive

than have to stand
at your funeral, Ian.

Why don't you let me
help you, the right way?

(sighs)

You see the way I live.

I can carry my
life in a backpack.

My idea of a five-star hotel is

an insulated sleeping
bag and a waterproof tent.

(chuckles)

What the hell would I
even do with $500,000?

Have you even taken a
moment to think about that?

(typing)

(computer trilling)

What am I looking at?

Garcia's transfer orders.

All signed by the same person.

DAVID: By the same
marshal, Frank Thompson.

All right, we're
good to go, boss.

Hey, hold on a sec.

If that's some authority from
the DOJ, I don't give a crap.

They're Garcia's
transfer orders,

- denied seven times by you.
- And with good reason.

THOMPSON: You ever work a jail?

Ever have three
prisoners jump you,

nothing to defend yourself
with but a flashlight?

No. But all of a
sudden you're an expert

on how things are
done around here.

DAVID: So you're saying
this is normal protocol?

THOMPSON: Salazar
wanted Garcia transferred.

I knew moving him
was part of his plan.

Part of his plan, how?

Garcia goes to
a different prison,

meets new contacts and Salazar's
heroin ring continues to grow.

Keep Garcia here,
at least it's contained.

Now, let me do my job,

get your partner home.

- (phone ringing)
- Let's go.

- (phone ringing)
- Sinclair.

Garcia switched
bracelets with a prisoner

whose number is
between 223-527-885

and 223-527-996.

- That's about 112 names, right, Charlie?
- Yeah.

But they're all in the
maximum security wing.

If Garcia's in solitary,
then we have him cornered.

Thompson, wait!

(metal door slamming)

(phone line ringing)

(phone ringing)

I'd better hear Garcia's voice

on the other end of this phone.

DAVID: Hey, we
located him, all right.

I need to talk my
partner right now.

It's David.

Still alive.

We found Garcia. He's
in maximum security

so it's going to take us a
few minutes to get to him.

Maybe in the meantime, I could
send you guys in some food.

Some Italian, you know,
maybe some Mexican.

EDGERTON: No food.

Just Garcia. Five minutes.

Garcia got himself transferred
to maximum security.

He must've been
really afraid of Salazar.

He could've figured out a
way to get to a cell block

Salazar didn't control.

He picked a spot
that no one can get to.

A place that's
being watched 24-7.

Salazar can't operate
without help inside the jail.

A marshal?

Garcia knew who all along,

but Costello was killed

before he could give
me the exact location.

- You let yourself be arrested.
- I had to get in here.

It was my best
chance to find Garcia.

It was crazy, man.

I needed Charlie's help.

If I would've rabbited,

nobody would've
listened to a fugitive.

EDGERTON: Five more minutes.

Five more minutes and Garcia

will give us Salazar's partner.

We may not have that much time.

The bit about the food...

Mexico, it's me and
David's distress word.

That means Thompson's
getting ready to breach.

30 seconds.

So you could ask
yourself, Granger,

why is Thompson
pushing to make entry?

Why wouldn't he at least
listen to what Garcia has to say?

He wants to protect himself,
and now he's got to kill me.

Breach has control.

Ten...

nine...

eight... seven...

Just the facts.

- Six...
- Just the facts.

Five...

four...

three...

two...

- one.
- (beep)

Hands!

- Hands!
- I got him! I got him!

♪ That would really
have helped me through ♪

Just in case you don't shoot
any better than you think.

Where the hell is Galvin?

♪ Nothing will be
left standing from ♪

♪ See it through ♪

♪ Nothing will be
left standing from ♪

(gunshot)

(handcuffs tightening)

(panting)

(crickets chirping)

NIKKI: Galvin's been working
for Salazar for two years now.

EDGERTON: She convinced Thompson

to reject all of
Garcia's transfer orders.

And set up the phony
accounts under your name.

Thompson?

Only thing he's guilty
of is trusting Galvin.

EDGERTON: Well,
here's where I get off.

NIKKI: Hey, just
until the courts open.

I'll get a judge to
officially release you.

These days it could be a while.

Any chance of a conjugal visit?

Yeah, sure.

As soon as they get cell
service in the Abajo Mountains.

(chuckles)

He's all yours.

(door buzzing)

(door opening)

(fingers snapping)

You see?

Your gut was right.

I know, one thing
I'm certain of.

If I'm ever held hostage,

I want you on the
other side of that trigger.

Oh, well, you... I
might let them keep.

♪♪

COLBY: (sighs) Wow.

Took you long enough.

Oh, please, none of
this would've happened

if you didn't fight like a girl.

(wry chuckle) Come on.

If anybody acted like a
girl in there, it was you.

Should've heard
yourself on that phone.

You're all, "I just
want to make sure

my partner's all
right in there."

Downright embarrassing.

If I let you die,

you know the kind of paperwork

I'm going to have to fill out?

All right, I can just kiss
my promotion good-bye.

(groans)

Wow. This feels good.

Guess you won't mind
driving, then, right?

- Hey.
- (chuckles)

Why am I always going to bed
when everyone else is waking up?

Well, at least this
time you're not alone.

- I'm right here with you.
- Thanks.

It's like when we were kids,

we used to stay up all night

- and sneak downstairs and watch TV.
- Oh, yeah,

we'd lie to Mom, right?
And then what'd she say?

Oh, "Only the truth
will set you free."

- (clicks tongue)
- Hey.

Ian bet his life on you, kid.

You could say the
same thing about you.

You sure that's why I
didn't pull the trigger?

Oh.

I'd bet my life on it.

(gunshot)
