2
00:00:13,552 --> 00:00:15,147
In 20 years of teaching,
3
00:00:15,148 --> 00:00:18,373
I've never received
evaluation comments like these.
4
00:00:18,392 --> 00:00:19,638
"Boring. " Me?
5
00:00:19,639 --> 00:00:22,231
"Intellectually... inaccessible"
6
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,701
I thought we cameup on this hike
to get your mind off of this ridiculous thing.
7
00:00:27,271 --> 00:00:30,693
I mean, one student even said I'm out of touch with
cutting-edgehinking
8
00:00:30,895 --> 00:00:32,612
in multidimensional theory.
9
00:00:33,038 --> 00:00:35,080
That one alone
kept me up at night.
10
00:00:35,627 --> 00:00:38,998
Everybody gets bad evaluations now
and then. Come on!
11
00:00:38,999 --> 00:00:42,553
Yeah, yeah, says the professor
who never receed anything less than a rave.
12
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:46,638
As with any large group, there are
responses that cover the entire spectrum.
13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,228
I once had a girl in my combinatronics seminar
tell me that I was disorganized and I talked too fast.
14
00:00:51,707 --> 00:00:53,660
That's an accurate
observation, actually.
15
00:00:54,243 --> 00:00:56,461
But, generally speaking,
I mean, your students love you,
16
00:00:56,462 --> 00:00:58,623
whereas mine say my classes
put them to sleep.
17
00:00:58,916 --> 00:01:00,481
You're an exceptional professor.
18
00:01:00,482 --> 00:01:02,025
I shld know,I took classes from you.
19
00:01:02,026 --> 00:01:04,098
Yeah, but you were an
exceptional young mind.
20
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:08,148
Perhaps I've lost my ability to reach
the more typical student.
21
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:10,481
- Hey, Professor Fleinhardt.
- Hey, how's it... How's it...
22
00:01:10,854 --> 00:01:11,348
How's it...
23
00:01:11,853 --> 00:01:13,846
How-how you...
How you... How you...
24
00:01:13,884 --> 00:01:16,973
See, we're not even in class,
and still my students run away from me.
25
00:01:18,318 --> 00:01:19,462
I don't think that's it.
26
00:01:24,482 --> 00:01:25,476
Right...
27
00:01:26,212 --> 00:01:27,577
They're right down this way.
Come on.
28
00:01:28,228 --> 00:01:29,075
Hurry, man.
29
00:01:41,013 --> 00:01:42,120
So who do we have here?
30
00:01:42,618 --> 00:01:46,023
Finn Montgomery.
Male, white, 21.CalSci student I.D.
31
00:01:46,025 --> 00:01:47,624
No way! It is Finn Montgomery!
32
00:01:47,966 --> 00:01:48,930
He jumped.
33
00:01:50,015 --> 00:01:50,493
Professor,
34
00:01:51,103 --> 00:01:53,048
my name isn't Montgomery. Uh...
35
00:01:55,004 --> 00:01:57,466
Sadly, it happens all the time.
36
00:01:57,467 --> 00:01:58,336
Any witnesses?
37
00:01:58,463 --> 00:02:00,343
Not for the launch.
A couple after the landing.
38
00:02:00,503 --> 00:02:02,762
Textbook header,
probable suicide.
39
00:02:03,619 --> 00:02:04,503
This is terrible.
40
00:02:07,176 --> 00:02:11,382
I- I can really use your advice
on some calculations in my engineering thesis.
41
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,586
Well, he could have stepped off
the brid instead of jumping.
42
00:02:26,372 --> 00:02:29,375
Well, look, there'not a lot of wind around here.
How much effect would that have?
43
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:31,059
Finn was wearing a windbreaker.
44
00:02:31,060 --> 00:02:31,972
It's nonpermeable.
45
00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:35,922
It offers an increased surface area for the
wind to act upon, especially if he was moving.
46
00:02:36,408 --> 00:02:39,402
But if we look at the point of
impact, that's not what we see.
47
00:02:40,044 --> 00:02:43,164
Wind and gravity are constant,
leaving only the surface area.
48
00:02:43,165 --> 00:02:45,023
Somehow, that was reduced.
49
00:02:45,181 --> 00:02:46,947
What are you saying,
he was unconscious?
50
00:02:47,361 --> 00:02:48,356
Or dead already.
51
00:02:53,457 --> 00:02:57,012
What's the difference between where he should have
landed,if it was a suicide, and where he landed?
52
00:02:57,013 --> 00:02:59,470
A foot to 18 inches.
53
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:00,328
A foot?!
54
00:03:00,329 --> 00:03:01,860
Outside the margin of error.
55
00:03:01,861 --> 00:03:03,818
Listen, unless there is a clear and compelli reason,
56
00:03:03,819 --> 00:03:08,074
I can't get the FBI to interfere in local investigation
because my brother has a theory.
57
00:03:08,132 --> 00:03:09,204
That's not the way it works.
58
00:03:09,205 --> 00:03:12,344
There are indications that Finn Montgomery did not jump off this bridge.
59
00:03:12,345 --> 00:03:14,927
Yeah, and to me,
there's indications this is not just about physics.
60
00:03:18,138 --> 00:03:19,755
Please, if you can just
take a quick look, uh...
61
00:03:21,742 --> 00:03:24,548
Look, everything I told you
about the fall still holds up.
62
00:03:25,632 --> 00:03:28,257
But, yeah, Finn Montgomery
was in my office two days ago.
63
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:33,869
We all use math every day...
64
00:03:34,691 --> 00:03:36,105
to forecast weather...
65
00:03:37,893 --> 00:03:38,961
to tell time...
66
00:03:40,583 --> 00:03:41,250
to handle money...
67
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:45,584
Math is more than formulas and equations...
68
00:03:47,467 --> 00:03:48,340
It's logic...
69
00:03:50,427 --> 00:03:51,425
It's rationality...
70
00:03:52,797 --> 00:03:56,831
It's using your mind to
solve the biggest mysteries we know.
71
00:04:08,138 --> 00:04:10,800
Look, Charlie,
this is the kind of information I need up front.
72
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920
If the kid wasn't one of your students,
then why did he come and seeou?
73
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:15,275
CalScis
a small university.
74
00:04:15,276 --> 00:04:16,724
It's a tight community.
75
00:04:16,918 --> 00:04:20,150
Students often consult professors
outside of their department.
76
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:23,715
He never tried to contact you again... e-mail or...?
77
00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:25,180
Maybe I was too...
78
00:04:25,857 --> 00:04:27,126
- unapproachable, I-I don't know.
79
00:04:27,127 --> 00:04:29,080
Yeah, well, maybe it had nothing to do with you.
80
00:04:31,247 --> 00:04:33,246
But what if he was trying
to tell me something?
81
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,559
All right, look, I'll make some phone calls.
82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,281
But the FBI can't just insert themselves in
these kind of things.
83
00:04:40,282 --> 00:04:42,531
If the police closed the case,
they might not mind me looking around.
84
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:44,207
I understand, and thank you.
85
00:04:44,208 --> 00:04:45,987
I- I really appreciate it.
86
00:04:46,466 --> 00:04:49,400
I mean, I'm not convinced
this is anything more than what it looks like.
87
00:04:52,935 --> 00:04:55,304
You never mentioned that you
had a Fed for a brother.
88
00:04:55,755 --> 00:04:56,570
A "Fed"?
89
00:04:56,588 --> 00:04:59,254
I didn't think it'd be much
of a selling point with you, Eva.
90
00:04:59,592 --> 00:05:04,116
My views on government intrusion
into academia are rather firm.
91
00:05:04,713 --> 00:05:07,217
Oh, yeah? Would that be too firm
to talk about Finn Montgomery?
92
00:05:07,730 --> 00:05:09,873
His suicide
or the Malone scandal?
93
00:05:10,308 --> 00:05:10,855
Scandal?
94
00:05:10,856 --> 00:05:15,453
Yeah, another student, Brian Malone,
was expelled two weeks ago for falsifying data in a lab result, right?
95
00:05:15,454 --> 00:05:19,313
Finn filed the honor code violations
that led to Brian's expulsion.
96
00:05:19,315 --> 00:05:21,569
Did they get into any
confrontation over that?
97
00:05:21,570 --> 00:05:24,589
Violence isn't an automatic response
to conflict, Agent Epps.
98
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:26,731
No, but it's a popular one,
Ms. Salton.
99
00:05:27,826 --> 00:05:30,841
Eva, what was Finn's thesis topic?
100
00:05:30,843 --> 00:05:34,965
It was an engineer's pspective
on the work of architect Gaar Haybridge.
101
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,670
He designed the Cole Center
downtown.
102
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:39,855
Right, he also did
e Keyerleber Annex.
103
00:05:39,901 --> 00:05:42,750
Something very inviting about that entrance,
don't you think?
104
00:05:43,287 --> 00:05:44,207
Yes, there is.
105
00:05:45,263 --> 00:05:46,696
Finn was an intense kid.
106
00:05:46,697 --> 00:05:50,709
He was obsessive about researching his thesis,
but he was falling behind schedule.
107
00:05:50,736 --> 00:05:53,478
When you say intense,
you mean intense enough to kill himself?
108
00:05:57,694 --> 00:05:58,526
All right, wl
109
00:05:58,902 --> 00:06:00,282
I'd like to
take a look at his research.
110
00:06:02,124 --> 00:06:05,938
Here is the key to his office
in the library.
111
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,785
Thanks for your cooperation,
Mrs. Salton.
112
00:06:08,985 --> 00:06:10,598
Anytime, Fed.
113
00:06:10,633 --> 00:06:12,212
Thanks, Eva.
114
00:06:13,679 --> 00:06:14,905
"Keyerleber Annex"?
115
00:06:14,906 --> 00:06:17,002
Yeah, well, I was actually
staking out a bank
116
00:06:17,003 --> 00:06:22,021
for three weeks right across the street and
they had a plaque that described its architectural significance.
117
00:06:22,180 --> 00:06:24,696
Look, I think we should
check out this kid's work, all right?
118
00:06:24,697 --> 00:06:26,709
You think his research has
some bearing on his death?
119
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:30,557
Sure. If he was hitting dead ends,
or he was late on his thesis, I mean, it might.
120
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:43,059
Excuse me.
121
00:06:43,765 --> 00:06:45,208
Uh, can we help you?
122
00:06:45,616 --> 00:06:48,202
I'm a professor in the math department,
123
00:06:49,205 --> 00:06:50,242
Charlie Epps.
124
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,181
I'm really just so sorry
for your loss.
125
00:06:54,582 --> 00:06:56,245
You just need to excuse me.
126
00:06:58,923 --> 00:06:59,775
Honey...
127
00:07:03,989 --> 00:07:04,983
Are you, uh...
128
00:07:05,543 --> 00:07:07,577
Were you one of Finn's teachers?
129
00:07:07,579 --> 00:07:08,562
No, I wasn't.
130
00:07:09,979 --> 00:07:14,179
He had come to me fosome help with some calculations
that he was doing for his thesis.
131
00:07:15,074 --> 00:07:16,264
That thesis...
132
00:07:17,367 --> 00:07:19,405
he was under a lot of pressure
trying to get that done.
133
00:07:21,114 --> 00:07:23,872
He sounded tired,
frustrated...
134
00:07:24,299 --> 00:07:26,032
that people didn't
understand his work.
135
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:28,315
I didn't understand it either.
136
00:07:29,109 --> 00:07:30,770
He was speaking
a different language.
137
00:07:31,867 --> 00:07:34,536
Maybe if I'd slowed down,
taken more time with him...
138
00:07:36,847 --> 00:07:38,981
These are beautiful sketches,
Mr. Montgomery.
139
00:07:39,778 --> 00:07:41,555
They're all
Haybridge buildings.
140
00:07:42,905 --> 00:07:45,160
Finn said
the designs were perfect.
141
00:07:46,822 --> 00:07:48,928
He could see so much more
than I ever could.
142
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:53,529
Mr. Montgomery, would you mind if I, um,
143
00:07:53,870 --> 00:07:58,488
looked over so of Finn's research?
Because he asked me for help on his thesis.
144
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:01,878
When you're done, would you...
145
00:08:03,407 --> 00:08:04,650
would you walk me through it?
146
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:09,430
If I can understand my son's life a little bit better,
I mighbe able to understand why he died.
147
00:08:25,445 --> 00:08:27,056
I mean, I really don't think
it's murder,
148
00:08:27,057 --> 00:08:30,166
but Charlie's got something stuck in his craw
and he's done right by us, so...
149
00:08:30,167 --> 00:08:33,129
David and I will drop by the medical
examiner's, see what he has to say.
150
00:08:33,215 --> 00:08:34,500
It's got to be on the side,
right?
151
00:08:34,501 --> 00:08:37,238
If it weren't my brother, I'd never
hear the end of it. I'd stay away.
152
00:08:37,239 --> 00:08:37,786
Okay...
153
00:08:38,168 --> 00:08:40,852
And I can check out the kid's bio
for signs he was depressed.
154
00:08:40,863 --> 00:08:43,344
Well, on behalf of
the Brothers Epps, I thank you.
155
00:08:43,445 --> 00:08:44,392
I'll talk to you later.
156
00:08:45,830 --> 00:08:47,164
You know, you didn't
have to come with me.
157
00:08:47,165 --> 00:08:49,383
It's your first jumper...
they can be a little intense.
158
00:08:49,837 --> 00:08:53,763
So, what's the FBI doing, nosing
around a probable suicide?
159
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:55,851
Agent Epps has a personal
connection to the case.
160
00:08:57,992 --> 00:09:01,040
As you can see, victim suffered
extensive facial trauma.
161
00:09:01,247 --> 00:09:02,168
Broken jaw,
162
00:09:02,564 --> 00:09:04,189
busted zygomatic arch,
163
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,601
typicawith
face-first falls.
164
00:09:07,109 --> 00:09:08,851
Skull damage is extensive.
165
00:09:09,511 --> 00:09:11,619
Cause of death was impact
from the fall.
166
00:09:12,118 --> 00:09:15,858
Any indication that he was attacked
or knocked unconscious prior to falng?
167
00:09:16,059 --> 00:09:18,788
If anything happened to his face,
it would be impossible to tell.
168
00:09:18,909 --> 00:09:22,477
But none of his other injuries
suggest an altercation or struggle.
169
00:09:23,112 --> 00:09:24,291
You okay?
170
00:09:24,934 --> 00:09:25,723
Yeah.
171
00:09:27,124 --> 00:09:28,833
John, what's, what's
our bottom line?
172
00:09:29,294 --> 00:09:31,069
Odds are, this is a suicide.
173
00:09:32,132 --> 00:09:34,757
But I can't rule out
completely a homicide.
174
00:09:36,445 --> 00:09:38,124
Thank you.
Come on, let's go.
175
00:09:38,779 --> 00:09:40,880
I understand Finn got you
kicked out of here?
176
00:09:41,367 --> 00:09:42,848
Montgomery could've come to me,
177
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:45,886
given me a chance to redo
the experiment.
178
00:09:46,997 --> 00:09:47,936
I would have done that.
179
00:09:47,961 --> 00:09:51,104
And, instead, he gets you booted out of
school. Boy, I know how that'd make me feel.
180
00:09:51,387 --> 00:09:54,019
I'm not saying I didn't fantasize
about throwing him off a bridge.
181
00:09:57,022 --> 00:09:59,233
His girlfriend dumped him
a couple weeks ago, you know.
182
00:09:59,255 --> 00:10:01,916
And he was always stressing
out about his thesis.
183
00:10:02,591 --> 00:10:03,683
That's normal, isn't it?
184
00:10:04,296 --> 00:10:05,669
Finn took it to the next level.
185
00:10:07,650 --> 00:10:09,016
Brian, where were
you last night?
186
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:11,472
Friends came by
to help me pack.
187
00:10:12,254 --> 00:10:15,549
Crashed around 6:00 a. m.
Am I a murr suspect?
188
00:10:16,473 --> 00:10:17,968
That's actually kind of cool.
189
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:18,869
That's funny.
190
00:10:18,940 --> 00:10:20,111
I'm going
to need the names...
191
00:10:20,898 --> 00:10:22,375
numbers of your friends.
192
00:10:29,477 --> 00:10:30,037
Dad...
193
00:10:30,577 --> 00:10:32,736
what are you doing here? I called
you; you hadn't called me back.
194
00:10:32,863 --> 00:10:34,799
I would've entually.
Is everything okay?
195
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,024
Yeah, yeah, sure. I need you to come to dinner
196
00:10:37,407 --> 00:10:38,967
at the house on Wednesday. um...
197
00:10:39,223 --> 00:10:40,096
I have a date.
198
00:10:40,672 --> 00:10:44,038
Oh, yeah, a date?
Hey, well, that's good. With who?
199
00:10:44,129 --> 00:10:45,852
Oh, someone Art knows
from yoga.
200
00:10:46,125 --> 00:10:47,189
Yeah, her name's Jill.
201
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:48,948
He says she's smart,
she's funny and, uh,
202
00:10:49,033 --> 00:10:50,523
quite flexible.
203
00:10:50,644 --> 00:10:54,105
So I... we're having dinner at the house
and I would like you to be there.
204
00:10:54,676 --> 00:10:58,639
Wow, hey, no.
Just take her somewhere low-key. You'll be fine.
205
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,327
Look, it's my first date in over 35 years.
I would like "memorable" instead of "low-key. "
206
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:04,440
"Low-key" and "memorable"
aren't mutually exclusive.
207
00:11:04,442 --> 00:11:07,865
You know what my favorite date ever
was? Peeroni pizza in a Laundromat.
208
00:11:07,866 --> 00:11:10,784
Yes, which explains the conspicuous
absence of grandchildren.
209
00:11:10,785 --> 00:11:12,517
So, Wednesda 7:30.
210
00:11:12,532 --> 00:11:13,120
Bring a date?
211
00:11:13,121 --> 00:11:16,770
I can't. Dad, I'm busy, and I don't anticipate meeting anyone
between now and then either.
212
00:11:16,771 --> 00:11:18,728
No, I just want to make it
a couples thing, you know.
213
00:11:18,931 --> 00:11:20,335
Looking like,
seeming like...
214
00:11:22,340 --> 00:11:23,497
Hi. Hey.
215
00:11:23,498 --> 00:11:24,414
Mr. Epps.
216
00:11:25,330 --> 00:11:26,593
Good to see you.
You, too.
217
00:11:27,826 --> 00:11:28,921
You'll think of something.
218
00:11:31,441 --> 00:11:34,672
Give me a forensic psychologist's
take on Finn Montgomery.
219
00:11:34,805 --> 00:11:39,269
He went to university mental health four times
during the past two months for major depression.
220
00:11:39,304 --> 00:11:42,410
Insurance records show he ran
out of his anti-depressant three weeks ago
221
00:11:42,411 --> 00:11:43,704
never got a refill.
222
00:11:43,713 --> 00:11:45,990
All right, so he breaks up
with his girlfriend,
223
00:11:46,222 --> 00:11:48,769
he falls behind on his work,
he stops taking the meds.
224
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:51,075
>From a forensic psychologist's point of view,
it is what it is.
225
00:11:51,076 --> 00:11:52,345
It is what it is.
226
00:12:01,263 --> 00:12:02,629
Oh, hey, Charlie.
Here you are.
227
00:12:03,529 --> 00:12:07,387
Hey, I'm going through Finn's research.
He's made some very interesting observations.
228
00:12:07,388 --> 00:12:10,260
May I show you?
I'm sorry. I just came by to tell you we cannot take this any further.
229
00:12:10,261 --> 00:12:12,539
I mean, to us,
it's clearly a suicide.
230
00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:13,865
No, I don't think so.
231
00:12:13,866 --> 00:12:18,948
I know you don't want to think so, but listen,
if you just step back from your personal feelings, I think you'll see...
232
00:12:19,981 --> 00:12:23,905
Look, I'm not denying that
I feel some component of guilt.
233
00:12:23,906 --> 00:12:27,236
But I've made these adjustments based
solely on the circumstances involved.
234
00:12:27,237 --> 00:12:29,268
This kid had some
serious problems, okay?
235
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:30,983
A student conference
was not going to save his life.
236
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:33,079
Don't assume I'm being
so irrational, you know?
237
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,237
Just because I'm not as detached as you are.
Hey, hold it.
238
00:12:36,238 --> 00:12:39,574
Look, you got no idea the daily
horrors my job serves up to me.
239
00:12:39,575 --> 00:12:42,816
Detached. yeah, you're right, I'm
detached. That's how I function.
240
00:12:42,817 --> 00:12:44,691
I'm sorry, I know, I know.
241
00:12:44,692 --> 00:12:46,975
No, you don't know. Look,
Charlie, I'm glad you don't know.
242
00:12:48,663 --> 00:12:50,460
Terry and David gave you a day.
243
00:12:50,461 --> 00:12:52,092
Okay,I pulled some
favors for you.
244
00:12:52,093 --> 00:12:54,959
These people work hard. I can't
spend any more resources on this.
245
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,224
You won't, you mean. You won't
Right, I won't.
246
00:12:57,574 --> 00:12:58,465
Larry.
247
00:12:58,556 --> 00:12:59,970
Hey, Don, how's it...?
Good.
248
00:12:59,971 --> 00:13:00,549
Okay.
249
00:13:11,852 --> 00:13:13,096
Something I can help you with?
250
00:13:33,101 --> 00:13:34,206
Well, it's evident
251
00:13:34,321 --> 00:13:39,202
Finn was obsessed with the design and
construction of the Cole Center Building.
252
00:13:39,522 --> 00:13:42,297
There was some problem here
that he was trying to solve,
253
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:44,491
that he needed my help with.
254
00:13:44,492 --> 00:13:48,084
So we must infer
that it involves math.
255
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:53,201
Oh... if I'd given him
five minutes...
256
00:13:53,202 --> 00:13:55,361
well, or ten...
or a week.
257
00:13:55,897 --> 00:13:58,357
It might've made all the difference
in the world or none at all.
258
00:13:58,728 --> 00:14:00,308
You know, Charlie,
look at this way...
259
00:14:00,472 --> 00:14:02,211
you've got Einstein,
260
00:14:02,282 --> 00:14:05,198
dead for decades...
Descartes... centuries.
261
00:14:05,217 --> 00:14:09,237
A scholar's research continues
speak long after he's gone.
262
00:14:09,238 --> 00:14:11,814
And somewhere,
in all of this,
263
00:14:12,567 --> 00:14:15,636
Finn Montgomery's going to find
a way to talk to you.
264
00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:17,547
Well, let's see,
265
00:14:17,582 --> 00:14:20,162
he's got engineering plans,
266
00:14:20,579 --> 00:14:23,058
soil reports,
inspection updats.
267
00:14:24,971 --> 00:14:26,237
Meteorological data.
268
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:31,821
Well, how does that relate to a thesis on
Gaar Haybridge and the Cole Center Building?
269
00:14:31,822 --> 00:14:39,218
The same math used in aeronautical design and fluid
dynamics also predicts how a building behaves in wind.
270
00:14:39,219 --> 00:14:44,433
And he was interested in knowing how the building
would react to different weather conditions.
271
00:14:46,428 --> 00:14:49,390
Suggests that he was
investigating a structural issue.
272
00:14:50,284 --> 00:14:52,901
I need to check out
the Cole Center in person.
273
00:15:39,997 --> 00:15:40,879
Excuse me.
274
00:15:42,287 --> 00:15:43,007
What are you doing?
275
00:15:43,008 --> 00:15:45,420
A simple experiment.
It's a pendulum.
276
00:15:45,686 --> 00:15:48,426
Sir, you and the pendulum
need to leave.
277
00:15:48,943 --> 00:15:49,789
Okay.
278
00:15:49,998 --> 00:15:50,847
It drew an ellipse.
279
00:15:50,848 --> 00:15:51,633
Now.
280
00:15:54,131 --> 00:15:56,703
On paper, the design's sound.
281
00:15:56,984 --> 00:15:59,246
>From the simple experiments
I carried out,
282
00:15:59,438 --> 00:16:02,281
I can tell you that the
construction of the Cole Center
283
00:16:02,282 --> 00:16:03,794
does not match these plans...
284
00:16:03,795 --> 00:16:07,306
that in fact,the building experiences
excessive wind deflection.
285
00:16:07,307 --> 00:16:08,712
For the non-engineers here...?
286
00:16:08,728 --> 00:16:09,517
Deflection?
287
00:16:09,518 --> 00:16:13,248
Uh, the degree to which a vertical
line bends when force is applied.
288
00:16:13,308 --> 00:16:15,435
A stalk of wheat
deflects a lot.
289
00:16:15,597 --> 00:16:17,370
An oak tree much less so.
290
00:16:17,371 --> 00:16:19,678
Bottom line me.
Is the building unsafe?
291
00:16:20,018 --> 00:16:22,680
I'd need to run some
simulations, I need to find out,
292
00:16:22,681 --> 00:16:26,120
you know, what are we talking about.
Are we talking abo cracked plaster
293
00:16:26,121 --> 00:16:27,982
or something way more serious?
294
00:16:35,425 --> 00:16:38,798
Finn believed something
was seriously wrong
295
00:16:39,329 --> 00:16:41,389
with this building,
but he didn't know what it was.
296
00:16:42,784 --> 00:16:46,057
I have to answer that question
for him.
297
00:16:46,774 --> 00:16:51,514
The data I collected yesterday showed me that the Cole
Center deflects six degrees in 30-mile-per-hour winds,
298
00:16:51,515 --> 00:16:54,608
so I've programmed this model
to do exactly the same.
299
00:16:54,610 --> 00:16:57,384
It won't pinpoint a specific
structural problem...
300
00:16:57,385 --> 00:17:01,409
But it'll show how a building that deflects that much
will react under different types of stresses. That's right.
301
00:17:04,237 --> 00:17:07,580
If Charlie's right, and the Cole Center
wasn't built according to its plans...
302
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:09,426
Someone made
a legitimate mistake
303
00:17:09,431 --> 00:17:12,260
or committed fraud, which makeFinn
a potential whistle-blower,
304
00:17:12,295 --> 00:17:15,090
and that exposes the Cole to
millions in damages and repairs.
305
00:17:15,091 --> 00:17:17,309
Not to mention a lot of
bad publicity for the building
306
00:17:17,310 --> 00:17:19,487
and everyone whose name is
on it... architect, contractor...
307
00:17:19,522 --> 00:17:20,244
Owner.
308
00:17:20,628 --> 00:17:24,360
Finn Montgomery's phone records have him
calling Elliot Cole's office several times.
309
00:17:24,596 --> 00:17:27,689
As well as Haybridge, the
architect, and Nevelson Ctracting.
310
00:17:27,695 --> 00:17:29,566
We have motive and suspects.
311
00:17:29,667 --> 00:17:32,257
Yeah, what we don't have
is evidence of a homicide.
312
00:17:33,043 --> 00:17:36,254
I was finishing up the Montgomery autopsy
and found this.
313
00:17:36,569 --> 00:17:37,573
Wasn't here before.
314
00:17:38,192 --> 00:17:41,160
when the heart stops, so does the
flow of blood to broken vessels.
315
00:17:41,491 --> 00:17:42,904
But fluids thinner than blood
316
00:17:42,910 --> 00:17:44,824
keep moving, very slowly.
317
00:17:44,850 --> 00:17:50,093
As a result, injuries incurred just pri to death
take at least 24 hours for e bruising to occur.
318
00:17:50,793 --> 00:17:53,825
So Finn Montgomery was injured
before he fell off that bridge.
319
00:17:54,102 --> 00:17:58,257
This could be a defensive wound from an object
like a pipe. Someone swung at his head...
320
00:17:58,532 --> 00:17:59,912
He put up his arm
to block it maybe.
321
00:17:59,918 --> 00:18:01,589
Of course, it could have
been self-inflicted.
322
00:18:01,590 --> 00:18:05,839
Maybe while he was climbing over the rail,
or maybe he struck s arm on the way down.
323
00:18:05,948 --> 00:18:07,801
Those are two very different
"could haves. "
324
00:18:07,859 --> 00:18:09,308
Get me the object used.
325
00:18:09,309 --> 00:18:11,603
I might be able to match it
back to the injury.
326
00:18:11,660 --> 00:18:12,409
Okay.
327
00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:16,579
Mr. Nevelson, we'd like to talk to you about Finn Montgomery.
328
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,432
He called you about structural
problems with the Cole Center.
329
00:18:20,068 --> 00:18:23,421
If I answered the phone
for every amateur architect and random complaint,
330
00:18:23,431 --> 00:18:24,801
nothing would ever get built.
331
00:18:25,816 --> 00:18:27,990
Besides, I had enough trouble
with the owner on that build;
332
00:18:28,922 --> 00:18:29,877
I wanted to move on.
333
00:18:29,878 --> 00:18:32,648
Elliot Cole has a reputation
as a micromanager, right?
334
00:18:32,649 --> 00:18:34,778
Yeah. That's how I knew
the kid was blowing smoke.
335
00:18:35,215 --> 00:18:36,801
Cole Center passed
every inspection.
336
00:18:36,802 --> 00:18:38,104
Cole wouldn't have
anything less.
337
00:18:38,151 --> 00:18:39,120
FBI!
338
00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:41,630
What'd we do wrong this time?
339
00:18:41,632 --> 00:18:42,896
What did you do wrong last time?
340
00:18:43,257 --> 00:18:45,210
This is Bob Mazzelli.
Chief of Security.
341
00:18:45,315 --> 00:18:47,983
Are you aware that even without
talking about inspections,
342
00:18:47,984 --> 00:18:50,665
the Cole Center doesn't match
plans on file with the city.
343
00:18:50,666 --> 00:18:54,368
I don't know anything about that, but my guys
did the work exactly the way they were supposed to.
344
00:18:54,574 --> 00:18:59,032
In '94, the city attorney investigated your company
for a case involving stolen construction materials.
345
00:18:59,033 --> 00:19:01,065
They investigated
seven companies, hon.
346
00:19:01,728 --> 00:19:03,423
Ours wasn't one of the two
that got indicted.
347
00:19:03,709 --> 00:19:07,463
If you're hang problems with the Cole Center, I think
you have to look for the lunatic that designed it...
348
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:09,301
the architect... Haybridge.
349
00:19:10,533 --> 00:19:11,557
Okay. Thanks.
350
00:19:11,803 --> 00:19:12,656
Thanks.
351
00:19:14,105 --> 00:19:17,203
Is it just me, or you get the feeling
that security guy kind of liked you?
352
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:20,179
Cat and dog thing. Some guys
like women who can handcuff them.
353
00:19:20,391 --> 00:19:21,534
Can't blame him for that.
354
00:19:25,007 --> 00:19:25,529
Hey...
355
00:19:26,831 --> 00:19:29,670
what are you doing for dinner tonight?
My dad's cooking for his friend Jill.
356
00:19:30,393 --> 00:19:32,206
What, you mean like,
a double date?
357
00:19:32,208 --> 00:19:34,199
No, no, I mean,
he'd be on a date.
358
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,475
You'd just be
doing me a favor.
359
00:19:36,451 --> 00:19:37,507
We can talk about work.
360
00:19:37,508 --> 00:19:39,642
Nice to see your social skills
are as sharp as ever.
361
00:19:39,645 --> 00:19:41,996
Terry, I'm just trying
to be up-front.
362
00:19:41,997 --> 00:19:43,399
I don't want there
to be any weirdness.
363
00:19:43,593 --> 00:19:44,744
You know, given our history.
364
00:19:44,745 --> 00:19:46,616
No weirdness, Don. Just history.
365
00:19:46,634 --> 00:19:47,545
That a "yes"?
366
00:19:48,749 --> 00:19:49,436
Maybe.
367
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:50,649
If I let you bring your cuffs?
368
00:19:52,947 --> 00:19:53,956
Well, in that case...
369
00:19:55,212 --> 00:19:58,690
Mr. Haybridge,were you contacted
about possible problems with the Cole Center?
370
00:19:58,691 --> 00:20:01,603
Yes, spoke with a Mr. Montgomery.
371
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:03,039
I told him he was wrong.
372
00:20:03,675 --> 00:20:07,712
The Cole Center wouldn't be the first of
your designs to have structural issues.
373
00:20:08,186 --> 00:20:10,688
- The concert hall in Seattle...
- Had a minor problem.
374
00:20:11,017 --> 00:20:14,925
A quickly remedied minor problem.
We experimented with thin concrete flooring,
375
00:20:14,926 --> 00:20:15,757
it didn't work out.
376
00:20:15,758 --> 00:20:19,900
I might also add the financiers only noticed the sagging
when I brought it to their attention.
377
00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:22,299
Great. Do any experimenting
with the Cole Center?
378
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:22,603
No.
379
00:20:23,210 --> 00:20:26,163
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have
clients waiting ck at the office.
380
00:20:26,164 --> 00:20:28,160
Mr. Haybridge, please don't make me follow
you to your office
381
00:20:28,161 --> 00:20:32,087
and question you about fraud and possible murder in front of your clients.
382
00:20:35,444 --> 00:20:36,226
Look,
383
00:20:36,829 --> 00:20:41,410
the Cole Center is my signature building.
But Cole froze me out after the design phase.
384
00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:42,601
Why would he do that?
385
00:20:42,602 --> 00:20:44,798
Because I'm Gaar Haybridge,
386
00:20:45,062 --> 00:20:47,268
and my buildings are famous
because they're designed by me.
387
00:20:47,269 --> 00:20:49,865
Elliot Cole wanted to be the
big man behind the Cole Center.
388
00:20:49,866 --> 00:20:51,421
You think he might
have cut any corners,
389
00:20:52,127 --> 00:20:55,171
authorized any changes that could've
compromised the structure's integrity?
390
00:20:55,194 --> 00:20:56,399
Not knowingly.
391
00:20:57,313 --> 00:20:59,197
Cole expects that building
to last forever...
392
00:20:59,483 --> 00:21:01,246
as a monument to himself.
393
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:07,443
Hi, I'm Rachel.
Mr. Cole will be with you in a minute. You can follow me.
394
00:21:16,579 --> 00:21:18,684
He's just completed a call.
Would you like a seat?
395
00:21:20,615 --> 00:21:21,077
Hi.
396
00:21:21,078 --> 00:21:22,060
Listen
Hi.
397
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:24,393
you're looking at equity
of about $200 million.
398
00:21:25,850 --> 00:21:27,327
Because I know
everything, Steven.
399
00:21:28,852 --> 00:21:30,850
Well, check your numbers
and we'll talk tomorrow.
400
00:21:31,632 --> 00:21:32,440
Thank you.
401
00:21:33,062 --> 00:21:34,502
Sorry about that.
How can I help you?
402
00:21:35,128 --> 00:21:38,917
We're looking into theeath of a young
CalSci student named Finn Montgomery.
403
00:21:38,945 --> 00:21:40,335
Ever try a standing desk?
404
00:21:40,683 --> 00:21:41,791
It's fantastic.
405
00:21:41,792 --> 00:21:43,144
You know, Mozart used one.
406
00:21:43,907 --> 00:21:45,132
Uh, Montgomery...
407
00:21:45,133 --> 00:21:47,999
The engineering student who thought there
was something wrong with the building.
408
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,092
We directed his calls
to the PR Department.
409
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:52,454
Is this the Michaelson
agreement?
410
00:21:52,601 --> 00:21:54,343
I don't see the changes
I asked for.
411
00:21:54,344 --> 00:21:56,256
Yes, they're listed
under Addendum C.
412
00:21:56,257 --> 00:21:59,080
Oh. He may have actually discovered
a structural flaw in the building.
413
00:22:00,245 --> 00:22:07,021
A student found something that the architect,
the project engineer,three dozen city inspectors,and I missed?
414
00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:07,728
Yes.
415
00:22:08,232 --> 00:22:10,788
It might explain why there's evidence
Montgomery may have been murdered.
416
00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:12,182
Oh, I see.
417
00:22:12,556 --> 00:22:14,311
So we're talking
conspiracy here.
418
00:22:14,331 --> 00:22:15,237
Here you go.
Thank you.
419
00:22:15,238 --> 00:22:19,358
Well, you did put $300 million of your own money into the building.
Is that coect?
420
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,121
Yes.
421
00:22:20,543 --> 00:22:22,315
And the overruns forced you
into bankruptcy?
422
00:22:22,602 --> 00:22:24,509
Yes, and the success
of this building
423
00:22:24,964 --> 00:22:26,011
got me out of bankruptcy
424
00:22:26,175 --> 00:22:28,611
and into a very profitable
phase of my career.
425
00:22:28,886 --> 00:22:31,325
Right. But during a
non-profitable phase,
426
00:22:31,326 --> 00:22:35,047
it might make sense for you to do
everything to stop hemorrhaging cash, right?
427
00:22:35,048 --> 00:22:36,618
I love spending money.
428
00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:38,386
I love making money.
429
00:22:39,237 --> 00:22:41,952
Taking risks comes with
the territory on both.
430
00:22:41,953 --> 00:22:42,783
So, please,
431
00:22:42,791 --> 00:22:45,653
do your due diligence,send in an inspection team.
432
00:22:45,654 --> 00:22:47,479
This building is
as safe as kittens.
433
00:22:50,093 --> 00:22:50,920
Thank you for your time.
434
00:22:50,921 --> 00:22:51,924
Oh, you're welcome.
435
00:22:51,925 --> 00:22:53,970
Uh... and if
I did cut corners...
436
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,220
if I had compromised the safety
of this building in any way...
437
00:22:57,222 --> 00:22:58,721
would I have my office in it?
438
00:23:00,833 --> 00:23:01,826
We'll be in touch.
439
00:23:03,237 --> 00:23:07,396
Let's try an earthquake
th a magnitude of 8.2.
440
00:23:09,328 --> 00:23:11,035
A minor structural warning,but,
441
00:23:11,473 --> 00:23:12,526
seismically,
442
00:23:12,650 --> 00:23:14,418
the building appears solid.
443
00:23:15,228 --> 00:23:18,330
I owe it to Find to find out
what's wrong with this building.
444
00:23:19,526 --> 00:23:26,943
Let's see how it does in high winds.
445
00:23:26,978 --> 00:23:28,860
You know, when I was working
as a city planner,
446
00:23:29,284 --> 00:23:31,059
I saw every shortcut in the books.
447
00:23:31,645 --> 00:23:33,631
You know, kickbacks,
overbilling,
448
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,024
pulling rebar from one job and
trying to use it in another.
449
00:23:37,935 --> 00:23:38,780
Oh... sorry.
450
00:23:38,783 --> 00:23:41,077
I make Cole for a narcissist,not a sociopath.
451
00:23:41,078 --> 00:23:43,779
I get the feeling he's only interested
in victories he can brag about.
452
00:23:44,707 --> 00:23:47,079
Oh, my God! The bread...
in the oven. I forgot.
453
00:23:47,179 --> 00:23:49,384
Relax. I got it. Just relax.
454
00:23:51,122 --> 00:23:52,061
I'm just a little nervous.
455
00:23:52,205 --> 00:23:53,074
Don't worry.
456
00:23:53,270 --> 00:23:56,905
Everything looks wonderful. In fact, your
son could learn a few things from you.
457
00:23:57,581 --> 00:23:59,159
You know where we went
on our first date?
458
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:00,433
All right,
all right, all right.
459
00:24:00,509 --> 00:24:01,316
A Laundromat.
460
00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:02,486
Dinner was pizza.
461
00:24:02,544 --> 00:24:03,612
A little professionalism,
462
00:24:03,613 --> 00:24:04,920
- You don't say?please. All right?
- Let's just...
463
00:24:05,597 --> 00:24:06,411
Oh, interesting.
464
00:24:08,823 --> 00:24:12,425
The buildingis within all required limits for earthquakes and wind.
465
00:24:12,428 --> 00:24:14,322
And the tests
seem fairly conclusive.
466
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,465
I feel like we're...
467
00:24:16,475 --> 00:24:17,736
we're missing something.
468
00:24:19,398 --> 00:24:22,357
Whatever Finn uncovered must
have been something significant.
469
00:24:24,684 --> 00:24:26,018
Charles,
can I tell you a story?
470
00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:30,059
Yes, please. As long as it's not another parable
from the lives of the great mathematicians.
471
00:24:30,060 --> 00:24:30,808
No.
472
00:24:31,844 --> 00:24:33,629
This is about a sophomore student
473
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,893
I once had...
Kevin Flannermans.
474
00:24:35,979 --> 00:24:37,900
This was 20 years ago.
475
00:24:38,695 --> 00:24:39,964
Kevin hanged himself.
476
00:24:41,503 --> 00:24:41,993
Right.
477
00:24:42,287 --> 00:24:43,861
Well,
Finn didn't kill himself.
478
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:52,394
Well, but, maybe just the possibility that he did... maybe
that is the variable that you are disallowing from the problem.
479
00:24:54,374 --> 00:24:56,481
He came to me with an important question.
480
00:24:57,606 --> 00:24:58,754
I owe him an answer.
481
00:25:01,144 --> 00:25:02,174
Okay, well,
482
00:25:02,787 --> 00:25:04,858
you've geniously sidestepped my point.
483
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:05,814
You know,
484
00:25:07,325 --> 00:25:09,796
there are a few rare wind events
485
00:25:10,352 --> 00:25:11,792
that we haven't tested.
486
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:18,452
I'm sorry.
487
00:25:18,453 --> 00:25:20,485
Actually, talking about hobbies is a smart move.
488
00:25:20,817 --> 00:25:24,404
I'm supposed to know Jill's mother
died in a skiing accident?
489
00:25:24,551 --> 00:25:24,973
How?!
490
00:25:25,489 --> 00:25:26,607
She's stopped crying.
491
00:25:27,024 --> 00:25:29,997
It's funny how Charlie gets stuck at the office
at all the right times.
492
00:25:30,433 --> 00:25:30,925
Okay.
493
00:25:32,220 --> 00:25:33,290
We'll havea good meal,
494
00:25:33,575 --> 00:25:36,082
some nice wine and some
pleasant conversation.
495
00:25:36,083 --> 00:25:37,093
Everything will be fine.
496
00:25:37,094 --> 00:25:39,693
Just tell me you asked
if she eats everything.
497
00:25:39,694 --> 00:25:41,151
She's not a vegetarian.
I asked.
498
00:25:41,278 --> 00:25:43,009
What do you think I am? Stupid?
499
00:25:44,777 --> 00:25:46,018
I sure hope you like duck.
500
00:25:46,019 --> 00:25:49,365
of course I do. I have two...
Paddles and Mr. Waddlesworth.
501
00:25:49,366 --> 00:25:50,325
Oh, my God!
502
00:25:52,304 --> 00:25:54,840
I don't eat it.
i'm Sorry. I didn't know.
503
00:25:54,922 --> 00:25:55,843
I'll take it away.
504
00:25:57,395 --> 00:25:58,026
Yeah?
505
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,848
Right.
506
00:26:00,966 --> 00:26:02,014
Okay, Okay
507
00:26:02,016 --> 00:26:02,761
right. Right.
508
00:26:03,073 --> 00:26:04,105
Yep.
We're on our way.
509
00:26:04,544 --> 00:26:05,328
Yep.
510
00:26:05,439 --> 00:26:07,718
Dad, sorry. We got to go.
511
00:26:07,728 --> 00:26:08,684
Sure. Go ahead.
512
00:26:09,557 --> 00:26:10,268
Couldn't get any worse.
513
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:12,775
Listen. Alcohol. lots of alcohol.
514
00:26:13,798 --> 00:26:14,711
For who?
515
00:26:15,694 --> 00:26:16,837
The problem is wind.
516
00:26:17,421 --> 00:26:19,796
Wouldn't they have already
tested for stability in winds?
517
00:26:19,797 --> 00:26:23,990
Engineers test structural
response to gusts along two axes:
518
00:26:23,991 --> 00:26:25,536
north to south
and east to west.
519
00:26:25,537 --> 00:26:30,083
And, in those cases, a single side supported
by two corners bears the brunt of the wind load.
520
00:26:30,086 --> 00:26:33,293
Think of a straight-on
wind as two cars colliding.
521
00:26:33,294 --> 00:26:35,197
In contrast... excuse me...
522
00:26:36,288 --> 00:26:39,170
quartering winds hit a building
at an angle,
523
00:26:39,677 --> 00:26:44,039
exerting pressure on two sides
anchored by a single corner.
524
00:26:44,982 --> 00:26:48,652
Imagine a car getting hit from the
back and the side simultaneously.
525
00:26:49,293 --> 00:26:51,436
Can those winds
cause structural issues?
526
00:26:51,823 --> 00:26:52,673
Our tests show
527
00:26:54,128 --> 00:26:57,241
that the Cole Center is sound for
head-on winds of up to 90 miles per hour.
528
00:26:57,242 --> 00:27:00,358
But here's what happens
with quartering winds
529
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,290
as low as 60 miles per hour.
530
00:27:03,630 --> 00:27:08,305
First, the steel frame bends
beyond its limits, and stays bent.
531
00:27:08,306 --> 00:27:11,132
Then this strained steel hardens
and becomes brittle.
532
00:27:11,441 --> 00:27:16,979
Under continuing stress, this steel will
fracture, causing complete structural collapse.
533
00:27:18,026 --> 00:27:22,346
Finn Montgomery found the problem in the building's
deflection. He suspected the effects would be serious.
534
00:27:23,769 --> 00:27:28,134
I could really use your advice on some
calculations in my engineering thesis.
535
00:27:28,635 --> 00:27:29,487
He was right.
536
00:27:30,464 --> 00:27:32,275
And he may have paid
with his life.
537
00:27:41,574 --> 00:27:47,047
Our simulation demonstrate that the Cole Center could experience failure
in a 60 mile-per-hour quartering wind.
538
00:27:47,292 --> 00:27:50,268
Now, as the head of the Department of Building and Safety,
539
00:27:50,269 --> 00:27:54,352
you've got to realize what a huge, imminent risk
that poses when the building is filled with people.
540
00:27:54,353 --> 00:27:55,687
Are you a structural engineer?
541
00:27:55,996 --> 00:27:57,003
Hmm?
No.
542
00:27:57,127 --> 00:27:59,095
An expert in wind dynamics?
543
00:27:59,096 --> 00:28:01,292
He is a professor
of applied mathematics.
544
00:28:01,293 --> 00:28:03,027
He's talking theory
and supposition.
545
00:28:03,954 --> 00:28:05,705
If any of this goes public,
546
00:28:05,820 --> 00:28:08,071
I will sue the FBI
for slander.
547
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:11,908
Professor Epps, I respect your background
and reputation, but I can't make a decision...
548
00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:14,413
Well, do me a favor,
and forget my reputation.
549
00:28:14,414 --> 00:28:17,917
Consider what happened
in Kansas City. In 1981,
550
00:28:17,918 --> 00:28:21,114
The Hyatt Regency walkway
collapsed. Killed 114 people.
551
00:28:21,115 --> 00:28:23,178
In Hartford, in 1978,
552
00:28:23,179 --> 00:28:27,026
- the structure of a sports arena failed.
- Those volved fraud and malfeasance.
553
00:28:27,694 --> 00:28:31,022
Serious building flaws were
found in each of those cases.
554
00:28:31,023 --> 00:28:34,516
Can you connect the Cole Center's
deflection to a specific structural issue?
555
00:28:34,517 --> 00:28:36,806
Because of the potential risk of casualties,
556
00:28:36,807 --> 00:28:38,970
we think it's something you should take very seriously.
557
00:28:39,099 --> 00:28:41,396
You want to ruin
my building's reputation?
558
00:28:41,397 --> 00:28:46,380
We want to save lives.
Render it worthless on an obscure and nonspecific theory?
559
00:28:46,381 --> 00:28:49,088
Look, I can't point to a
specific problem at this time,
560
00:28:49,089 --> 00:28:51,164
but let me tell you something.
The evidence is there.
561
00:28:53,388 --> 00:28:54,112
Mr. Cole,
562
00:28:54,344 --> 00:28:56,742
you're going to have to leave now if
you're going to make your board meeting.
563
00:28:57,211 --> 00:28:57,972
Thank you.
564
00:28:59,026 --> 00:28:59,589
Gentlemen,
565
00:28:59,590 --> 00:29:01,305
the Cole Center is me.
566
00:29:01,682 --> 00:29:03,965
It's my reputation
and my public image.
567
00:29:04,351 --> 00:29:06,493
I stand
by its integrity.
568
00:29:09,708 --> 00:29:12,073
Given the lack
of specific evidence,
569
00:29:12,721 --> 00:29:13,478
I'd say we're done.
570
00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:14,886
Wha...?!
571
00:29:15,707 --> 00:29:20,987
The engineers who examined this building last night codn't
locate a problem in any section they could inspect.
572
00:29:20,988 --> 00:29:24,839
So the logical conclusion is whatever's wrong
with this building is underground...
573
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,670
in the foundation. Right. Well, I'm
going to go see they guy who built it.
574
00:29:29,902 --> 00:29:31,156
Guy was a pompous ass.
575
00:29:33,858 --> 00:29:36,282
So my son discovered a
structural flaw in this building?
576
00:29:36,283 --> 00:29:39,581
He noted that the building didn't
react to wind as it was designed to.
577
00:29:39,582 --> 00:29:41,338
Well, he didn't know
the specific cause.
578
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:43,297
How could he figure that out?
579
00:29:43,298 --> 00:29:44,862
Just by looking at the blueprints?
580
00:29:44,863 --> 00:29:46,699
No, or else other people would have noticed it first.
581
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:49,034
No, Finn actually went a lot further. He...
582
00:29:49,340 --> 00:29:52,712
he noticed something was wrong
because he was passionate and thorough.
583
00:29:52,713 --> 00:29:54,436
He wanted to understand this building.
584
00:29:54,437 --> 00:29:56,879
And, when something didn't make
sense, he needed to know why.
585
00:29:57,866 --> 00:30:00,728
So you're trying to find exactly
what's wrong with the Cole Center.
586
00:30:00,819 --> 00:30:02,417
It might take me time but,
587
00:30:02,791 --> 00:30:04,461
well,we won't stop working on it either.
588
00:30:10,617 --> 00:30:13,895
We know you cut corners on the construction
of the Cole Center foundation.
589
00:30:13,991 --> 00:30:15,716
You're doing a lot of fishing
for a guy who knows something.
590
00:30:15,717 --> 00:30:18,608
Look, whether you cheaped out on the rebar
or you didn't drive the piles deep enough,
591
00:30:18,609 --> 00:30:21,647
we're going to find out what you did,
and we're going to nail you for it.
592
00:30:23,562 --> 00:30:26,107
A subpoena for all your records of the Cole Center foundation.
593
00:30:26,108 --> 00:30:28,281
FBI accountants are going to go over every page.
594
00:30:28,282 --> 00:30:29,636
We're going to find out what you did.
595
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:32,980
Knock yourself out.
596
00:30:37,197 --> 00:30:38,017
Hello!
597
00:30:38,018 --> 00:30:38,942
We're in here.
598
00:30:41,730 --> 00:30:42,299
Hey, Dad.
599
00:30:42,626 --> 00:30:45,314
All right, FBI accountant went over a11 of Nevelson's financials
600
00:30:45,315 --> 00:30:47,782
and these are all the documents that relate to the foundation.
601
00:30:47,783 --> 00:30:49,321
Our people could find nothing.
602
00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:51,831
why didn't you have Charlie look
at the records in the first place?
603
00:30:51,832 --> 00:30:54,677
The FBI has a team of
excellent forensic accountants.
604
00:30:54,805 --> 00:30:57,252
I know,but it wouldn't be the first time you find
something that they missed.
605
00:30:57,272 --> 00:31:00,194
A lot of mathematicians do have
eidetic numerical memory.
606
00:31:00,195 --> 00:31:04,100
It allows us to recognize numbers
when they've bn repeated or arranged in patterns.
607
00:31:04,102 --> 00:31:06,199
- Why don't you do that, and I'll do the dishes.
- How's that?
608
00:31:10,223 --> 00:31:11,268
I'll give you a hand.
609
00:31:11,563 --> 00:31:14,002
So you mean your best date ever
was with your partner?
610
00:31:14,003 --> 00:31:15,282
Dad, please.
611
00:31:15,283 --> 00:31:16,641
No, it's just
a simple observation.
612
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:21,001
I mean, if it was so
great, why did you split up?
613
00:31:21,273 --> 00:31:22,365
It was an academy thing.
614
00:31:22,366 --> 00:31:24,367
We got posted
to different places.
615
00:31:24,368 --> 00:31:27,210
- We had our careers to concentrate on.
- So now you're in the same city,
616
00:31:27,211 --> 00:31:28,997
same careers... Same office.
617
00:31:29,166 --> 00:31:31,320
Which, in our case, can
be a dangerous thing.
618
00:31:31,926 --> 00:31:33,313
Your mother
and I met at work.
619
00:31:34,026 --> 00:31:35,020
In the lunch line.
620
00:31:35,023 --> 00:31:37,369
Look, Dad, Terry and I have
to see each other every day,
621
00:31:37,452 --> 00:31:39,175
We have to look out
for each other.
622
00:31:39,176 --> 00:31:41,625
So that means any trust issues
are already behind you.
623
00:31:41,959 --> 00:31:45,458
- Look, just because you're eager to start dating again...
- Eager? Are you kidding me?
624
00:31:45,459 --> 00:31:46,383
You saw me last night.
625
00:31:48,265 --> 00:31:50,280
I know, I know, I know.
I got to get back into it.
626
00:31:51,221 --> 00:31:51,968
Your mother said
627
00:31:52,585 --> 00:31:54,760
I should meet new people after she was gone.
628
00:31:55,445 --> 00:31:57,284
Well, that's right. That sounds like her.
629
00:31:57,285 --> 00:31:58,546
She made me promise.
630
00:31:59,408 --> 00:32:02,500
I mean, she knew that, without
a push, that I might not do it.
631
00:32:03,429 --> 00:32:04,431
So she pushed.
632
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,069
Just consider this your push.
633
00:32:10,123 --> 00:32:13,833
Now, here is a list of workers employed in building the foundation.
634
00:32:14,652 --> 00:32:16,722
- And?
- And a lot of them don't exist.
635
00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:21,121
Yeah. There's a preponderance of fours and sevens
in the union ID numbers,
636
00:32:21,274 --> 00:32:24,842
which could be due to accounting codes,
except they show up in the overtime hours...
637
00:32:24,877 --> 00:32:28,397
like, 14s and 17s everywhere...
here, here and here...
638
00:32:28,603 --> 00:32:30,195
14... 17...
639
00:32:30,701 --> 00:32:34,689
These numbers, they can't be
explained by random occurrence.
640
00:32:34,794 --> 00:32:36,234
Somebody made them up.
641
00:32:36,586 --> 00:32:37,778
They've been
fabricated
642
00:32:37,989 --> 00:32:41,603
by someone who likes these numbers...
who left behind a pretty obvious pattern.
643
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:43,017
Obvious to you.
644
00:32:43,409 --> 00:32:45,182
Here's a very
interesting thing also.
645
00:32:46,151 --> 00:32:49,814
All the... all the workers I've
identified as fake are listed as welders.
646
00:32:49,815 --> 00:32:52,473
Except there aren't any other
welders on the payroll backup.
647
00:32:52,932 --> 00:32:54,917
ALAN: Yocan't build a
foundation without welders.
648
00:32:56,251 --> 00:32:58,719
Sounds like Nevelson
was using a shadow crew.
649
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:00,817
So how would that work, Dad?
650
00:33:01,091 --> 00:33:02,265
Nonunion laborers,
651
00:33:02,267 --> 00:33:04,947
usually illegal aliens. They
pay them under the table.
652
00:33:05,808 --> 00:33:08,823
See, the contractors would use them at night to avoid the unions.
653
00:33:08,919 --> 00:33:12,250
So what? Like lower pay, noovertime, medical benefits...?
654
00:33:12,251 --> 00:33:13,073
That's right.
655
00:33:18,302 --> 00:33:19,444
But people still get hurt.
656
00:33:20,765 --> 00:33:22,343
And there'll
be hospital records.
657
00:33:24,382 --> 00:33:28,947
Nono, ma'am, you're not... Listen, I said I'm
only interested in patients without insurance.
658
00:33:31,007 --> 00:33:31,604
Thank you.
659
00:33:32,022 --> 00:33:33,168
Get anything from the ERs?
660
00:33:34,114 --> 00:33:34,529
Nope.
661
00:33:35,368 --> 00:33:38,369
A Julio Perez checked in with swollen corneas.
They seehat with welders,
662
00:33:38,370 --> 00:33:40,691
especially less experienced
ones. No insurance.
663
00:33:40,692 --> 00:33:41,435
When was that?
664
00:33:42,957 --> 00:33:45,395
2:30 in the morning,
May 17th, 1999.
665
00:33:46,383 --> 00:33:48,830
Right, see, that's when the Cole
Center's foundation was being done.
666
00:33:50,023 --> 00:33:54,287
Immigratiorecords shows that he was
deported back to Mexico last year.
667
00:33:54,406 --> 00:33:56,083
Hold on... Yeah?
Uh-huh.
668
00:33:57,692 --> 00:33:59,847
The hospital is saying that
somebody else paid his bill.
669
00:33:59,848 --> 00:34:00,534
Get a name.
670
00:34:00,535 --> 00:34:02,011
Can we get the name
of that person, please?
671
00:34:04,238 --> 00:34:05,712
DON: Sir, we're looking
for Keith Babbitt.
672
00:34:05,713 --> 00:34:07,731
We think he worked for you
on the Cole Center.
673
00:34:07,732 --> 00:34:08,443
Keith Babbitt?
674
00:34:09,721 --> 00:34:10,537
No, I don't know.
675
00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:14,218
He was a foreman who specializes
in foundation welding.
676
00:34:14,624 --> 00:34:17,060
He paid for a non-union
worker's hospital bill.
677
00:34:17,817 --> 00:34:20,038
I got hundreds of guys
on any one job.
678
00:34:20,477 --> 00:34:22,302
I don't ow most of their names
until they screw up.
679
00:34:22,303 --> 00:34:25,117
Babbitt's unionrecords show
he was unemployed for most of '99,
680
00:34:25,118 --> 00:34:28,338
but his name shows up in relation
to the Cole Center foundation work.
681
00:34:28,971 --> 00:34:29,855
If you say so.
682
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,377
Okay.
683
00:34:32,614 --> 00:34:33,644
It's the wrong move.
684
00:34:34,956 --> 00:34:35,803
Have a nice day.
685
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:40,454
DON: If Babbitt oversaw the crew
that built the Cole Center foundation,
686
00:34:40,455 --> 00:34:42,391
he might be the key to solving
the whole thing.
687
00:34:42,623 --> 00:34:44,702
David, why don't you
check out back? All right.
688
00:34:55,553 --> 00:34:56,427
Mr. Babbitt?
689
00:34:56,942 --> 00:34:57,843
This is the FBI.
690
00:35:02,346 --> 00:35:03,229
Mr. Babbitt?
691
00:35:06,932 --> 00:35:07,350
Don!
692
00:35:07,359 --> 00:35:08,449
Back here!
693
00:35:15,887 --> 00:35:17,833
- He's unconscious.
- Pull him out, pull.
694
00:35:30,429 --> 00:35:31,323
Paramedics are on the way.
695
00:35:31,358 --> 00:35:33,584
It's barely warm, so he couldn't
have been in there long.
696
00:35:33,585 --> 00:35:34,224
How's he doing?
697
00:35:34,225 --> 00:35:35,259
He's got a pulse.
698
00:35:35,260 --> 00:35:36,176
Mr. Babbitt?
699
00:35:37,905 --> 00:35:39,029
It's all right, FBI.
700
00:35:39,032 --> 00:35:39,943
You're gonna be fine.
701
00:35:40,314 --> 00:35:41,335
Don, look
at his head.
702
00:35:41,481 --> 00:35:43,802
Somebody cold-cocked him then stuffed him in that car.
703
00:35:44,201 --> 00:35:45,577
This is a staged suicide.
704
00:35:46,163 --> 00:35:47,418
Echoes of Finn Montgomery.
705
00:35:48,536 --> 00:35:49,347
You okay?
706
00:35:50,060 --> 00:35:50,950
Yeah.
707
00:35:50,951 --> 00:35:51,822
You know who hit you?
708
00:35:53,609 --> 00:35:54,589
Uh, Nevelson' goon...
709
00:35:55,692 --> 00:35:56,727
Mazzelli.
710
00:36:00,291 --> 00:36:01,388
Bob Mazzelli, FBI.
711
00:36:01,389 --> 00:36:02,927
You're under arrest. Get your hands up.
712
00:36:03,288 --> 00:36:05,489
Put your hands up and get up against the stall.
713
00:36:08,022 --> 00:36:08,743
You heard from
the hospital?
714
00:36:08,744 --> 00:36:13,578
Yeah,Babbitt's agreed to testify that Nevelson hired
his non-union crew to spot weld the foundation points in the Cole Center.
715
00:36:13,587 --> 00:36:15,691
Now, that accounts for
the excessive deflection.
716
00:36:15,898 --> 00:36:19,183
Haybridge's design called for full pen
welds,which are stronger and more stable,
717
00:36:19,184 --> 00:36:22,900
but pen welds are also more expensive and more
time consuming than spot welds.
718
00:36:22,901 --> 00:36:25,371
That gives Building and Safety
grounds to evacuate.
719
00:36:25,636 --> 00:36:26,604
What about Finn-?
720
00:36:26,823 --> 00:36:28,228
can we tie this guy to his murder?
721
00:36:28,229 --> 00:36:29,731
Technically we don't have a murder.
722
00:36:30,082 --> 00:36:31,670
PD closed it out as a suicide.
723
00:36:31,805 --> 00:36:33,923
There's no conclusive
forensic evidence.
724
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:35,577
All right, well,
725
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:37,617
that's what confessions are for.
726
00:36:44,916 --> 00:36:47,522
Unless you're here to take my
lunch order, don't waste your time.
727
00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:51,516
Well, here's
the thing, Bob.
728
00:36:51,517 --> 00:36:54,324
See, you're not all lawyered up,
so you know what that tells me?
729
00:36:57,367 --> 00:36:58,510
You want to know what I have.
730
00:36:59,789 --> 00:37:00,451
I'm thinking
731
00:37:00,725 --> 00:37:03,018
ham on wheat, honey mustard, fries.
732
00:37:05,022 --> 00:37:05,922
You know what I have?
733
00:37:08,566 --> 00:37:09,400
I have you.
734
00:37:10,322 --> 00:37:12,207
I got you for attempted murder of Keith Babbitt,
735
00:37:12,208 --> 00:37:15,881
I got you for complicity in construction
fraud, which is a felony, by the way.
736
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,638
You know what
I don't have?
737
00:37:19,784 --> 00:37:22,236
I don't have any reason to keep this case open,
738
00:37:22,431 --> 00:37:23,167
you know why?
739
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,775
'Cause you're
the fall guy.
740
00:37:26,208 --> 00:37:28,233
And that's exactly what the
people who hired you wanted.
741
00:37:29,165 --> 00:37:30,494
What do you think
they're doing right now?
742
00:37:30,833 --> 00:37:31,978
They're planting evidence,
743
00:37:31,979 --> 00:37:33,918
they're opening
bank accounts in your name,
744
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:36,880
they're making sure that you play
as the lone operator.
745
00:37:37,252 --> 00:37:38,199
What do you
think about that?
746
00:37:40,955 --> 00:37:41,657
Well,
747
00:37:42,386 --> 00:37:43,451
Bob, it's on you.
748
00:37:44,263 --> 00:37:46,888
You can make it worth my while to stay interested,
maybe cut you a deal,
749
00:37:46,889 --> 00:37:48,823
but you're going to have to tell
me who paid for the hits.
750
00:37:48,824 --> 00:37:49,807
Hits?
751
00:37:50,527 --> 00:37:51,596
Where'd the "S" come from?
752
00:37:52,184 --> 00:37:53,112
Finn Montgomery.
753
00:37:53,327 --> 00:37:54,243
Finn Mont...
754
00:37:54,244 --> 00:37:55,703
- You mean that college kid?
- Yeah.
755
00:37:56,366 --> 00:37:59,422
Look, at worst, they were talking
about maybe buying him off.
756
00:37:59,688 --> 00:38:00,448
So what happened?
757
00:38:00,449 --> 00:38:02,202
You, uh, threw him off
a bridge instead.
758
00:38:02,878 --> 00:38:04,762
Well, I'm not saying it might
not have come to that,
759
00:38:04,766 --> 00:38:06,303
but he beat us to the punch.
760
00:38:08,450 --> 00:38:10,449
So it comes down to are
you willing toake the fall,
761
00:38:10,678 --> 00:38:12,197
or are you going to give
upho ordered the hit?
762
00:38:13,543 --> 00:38:14,318
All right,
763
00:38:15,203 --> 00:38:16,755
get me a lawyer and the DA,
764
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:18,632
something in writing.
765
00:38:19,513 --> 00:38:20,509
I'll give you everything...
766
00:38:20,945 --> 00:38:21,906
except that kid.
767
00:38:22,472 --> 00:38:23,468
That is not on me.
768
00:38:24,268 --> 00:38:25,341
I'll see what I can do, Bob.
769
00:38:30,797 --> 00:38:31,359
Hey,
770
00:38:31,512 --> 00:38:33,595
you know he's lying to you, right?he is lying.
771
00:38:33,596 --> 00:38:35,094
No, I'm not so sure about that, Charlie.
772
00:38:35,563 --> 00:38:37,343
Get back in there, man.
Get on him.
773
00:38:37,378 --> 00:38:38,446
He's not telling
you the truth.
774
00:38:38,447 --> 00:38:39,624
Look, relax, all right?
775
00:38:39,625 --> 00:38:41,036
Just relax,
please.
776
00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:43,510
Finn Montgomery's suicide note.
777
00:38:44,484 --> 00:38:46,194
He mailed it to his parents
the night before his death.
778
00:38:46,195 --> 00:38:48,497
It took this long to get
forwarded to him in L.A.
779
00:38:49,512 --> 00:38:50,713
Were you were able
to authenticate it?
780
00:38:50,714 --> 00:38:52,488
Yeah, it's Finn's handwriting.
781
00:38:53,099 --> 00:38:54,297
It iterates all
the pressures...
782
00:38:54,298 --> 00:38:56,051
the girlfriend breakingup with him,the thesis,
783
00:38:56,206 --> 00:38:58,775
his inability to convince anybody
of the Cole nter's flaws.
784
00:38:59,697 --> 00:39:01,793
That doesn't make sense.
He was right about the building.
785
00:39:02,199 --> 00:39:05,277
In this circumstance,being right might have been
the crisis point that tipped him to suicide.
786
00:39:05,377 --> 00:39:08,611
Looks like he thought this was the only way to get
anyone to take a serious look at the Cole Center.
787
00:39:10,736 --> 00:39:11,427
Charlie,
788
00:39:11,964 --> 00:39:12,678
I'm sorry.
789
00:39:13,137 --> 00:39:14,201
I mean, he was smart,
790
00:39:14,597 --> 00:39:18,764
but he was just a kid who wasn't strong
enough to deal with this period in his life.
791
00:39:26,403 --> 00:39:28,430
Okay, now we deal with
the crimes that did occur.
792
00:39:28,431 --> 00:39:30,018
We've got fraud
and attempted murder.
793
00:39:30,148 --> 00:39:32,386
All right, well, call the DA.
As soon as I get Mazzel to talk,
794
00:39:32,387 --> 00:39:35,756
we're going to find out how high this thing goes,
and I think it's all the way up to Elliot Cole.
795
00:39:45,101 --> 00:39:46,327
How'd you know I was here?
796
00:39:46,398 --> 00:39:47,853
- We didn't.
- Honey, who's there?
797
00:39:49,003 --> 00:39:50,470
FBI.You're under arrest.
798
00:39:54,108 --> 00:39:55,208
- Terry,you got her?
- Yeah.
799
00:39:57,226 --> 00:39:58,936
Nevelson and Mazzelli
gave you up.
800
00:39:58,937 --> 00:39:59,927
"Gave you up?"
801
00:39:59,928 --> 00:40:00,638
What for?
802
00:40:00,651 --> 00:40:04,281
Rachel and your contractor hired a non-union crew to do the foundation welds.
803
00:40:04,292 --> 00:40:05,293
You paid the full price
804
00:40:05,481 --> 00:40:08,730
They got $20 million and you got
a very unsafe building on your hands.
805
00:40:08,968 --> 00:40:11,909
I oversaw every detail of the construction of that building.
806
00:40:11,935 --> 00:40:15,730
That include payment authorizations,
or did you rely on her about what to sign?
807
00:40:16,066 --> 00:40:16,959
Come on,let's go.
808
00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:19,361
We've been together three years.
809
00:40:19,932 --> 00:40:21,008
I gave you
this apartment,
810
00:40:21,106 --> 00:40:22,239
everything you asked for.
811
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:23,917
I asked you
to divorce your wife.
812
00:40:24,551 --> 00:40:26,257
- We discussed this.
- Oh, yeah,the pre-nup.
813
00:40:26,258 --> 00:40:27,523
I have nothing
more to say.
814
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,313
They will construct the tuned mass damper on the roof.
815
00:40:44,346 --> 00:40:45,843
This is a scale model.
816
00:40:46,226 --> 00:40:47,235
On the real one,
817
00:40:47,281 --> 00:40:50,296
this block of concrete will
weigh about 300 tons or so,
818
00:40:50,297 --> 00:40:52,244
and it will rest on
a thin layer of oil.
819
00:40:52,622 --> 00:40:54,395
When the wind pushes
the building,
820
00:40:55,214 --> 00:41:00,476
the block's inertia will hold it in place,
even as the building slides under it.
821
00:41:00,479 --> 00:41:03,282
So the damper acts as a counterweight to the movement of the building.
822
00:41:04,638 --> 00:41:06,030
It's amazing. So simple.
823
00:41:07,578 --> 00:41:09,722
Finn's insight will keep
a lot of people safe,
824
00:41:10,271 --> 00:41:14,744
so Elliot Cole has agreed with me to
dedicate this structure in his name.
825
00:41:16,692 --> 00:41:17,251
You know,
826
00:41:17,954 --> 00:41:23,546
in Finn's letter,he said that part of
the reason that he...
827
00:41:25,875 --> 00:41:27,678
was that he felt nobody
understood him.
828
00:41:27,709 --> 00:41:28,519
He, uh,
829
00:41:30,195 --> 00:41:31,482
he said he felt so alone.
830
00:41:33,295 --> 00:41:36,480
What we do... can certainly
be lonely sometimes.
831
00:41:38,054 --> 00:41:44,164
That's why it's so imptant that you
understood what he was trying to accomplish.
832
00:41:44,730 --> 00:41:46,507
You spoke for our son, Professor Epps.
833
00:41:46,509 --> 00:41:48,500
There's no way we can begin to thank you for that.
834
00:41:59,942 --> 00:42:02,049
So I am getting
right back on that horse.
835
00:42:02,050 --> 00:42:04,199
Not that this lady is anything like a horse,
836
00:42:04,510 --> 00:42:06,730
she's really quite attractive.
837
00:42:07,284 --> 00:42:08,209
So it's not
a blind date?
838
00:42:08,210 --> 00:42:08,663
No,
839
00:42:09,616 --> 00:42:11,250
it'she butcher that sold me the duck.
840
00:42:11,291 --> 00:42:13,088
- No!
- Yeah, she's very nice.
841
00:42:13,526 --> 00:42:15,230
And she really
knows her waterfowl.
842
00:42:16,343 --> 00:42:17,194
Right.
843
00:42:17,227 --> 00:42:17,989
Charlie.
844
00:42:19,031 --> 00:42:19,842
Charlie.
845
00:42:22,809 --> 00:42:25,846
This is not the brilliant thought brood.
This is the other brood.
846
00:42:27,136 --> 00:42:27,947
You all right,
Charlie?
847
00:42:28,934 --> 00:42:30,225
You knew it was a suicide.
848
00:42:30,730 --> 00:42:31,469
No, look,
849
00:42:31,470 --> 00:42:34,729
I said from the get-go I didn't know,but I did suspect.
850
00:42:34,734 --> 00:42:37,694
Despite all the variables
and the inconclusive autopsy,
851
00:42:37,783 --> 00:42:42,861
- and the layers of crime that were uncovered?
- The fact that the kid exhibited suicidal behavior and then he did it.
852
00:42:43,215 --> 00:42:44,105
It's Occam's Razor,
853
00:42:44,124 --> 00:42:46,431
you know?I mean, the simplest answer
is usually the right one.
854
00:42:46,613 --> 00:42:47,908
Occam's Razor?
855
00:42:49,433 --> 00:42:49,963
DON:
What?
856
00:42:49,964 --> 00:42:51,691
I read a book
every now and then.
857
00:42:51,771 --> 00:42:53,809
Occam was a philosopher,
he wasn't a mathematician.
858
00:42:53,810 --> 00:42:57,575
And what he actually said was that you
shouldn't make more assumptions than needed.
859
00:42:57,576 --> 00:42:59,301
It's the basis of
methodological reductionism.
860
00:42:59,302 --> 00:43:01,234
Any given data set,
861
00:43:01,235 --> 00:43:05,788
there are an infinite number of possible hypothesis and conclusions,
862
00:43:06,010 --> 00:43:08,851
an even great number
of infinite conclusions.
