1
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:49,600
What's wrong?
2
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:51,400
I really should get back to work.
3
00:00:51,899 --> 00:00:56,697
It's her sixth birthday party.Please. It's important.
Emily's having a great time.She won't even know I'm gone.
4
00:01:05,394 --> 00:01:06,594
What's your favorite color?
5
00:01:06,694 --> 00:01:09,192
Green!Blue! Okay, what color is this?
6
00:01:27,686 --> 00:01:28,286
Bye-bye.
7
00:01:29,386 --> 00:01:32,984
Check or credit card'll be fine, Mrs. Burdick.
Oh, right, let me get my checkbook.Hold on.
8
00:01:33,284 --> 00:01:33,884
Bye.
9
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:45,380
Hey, where you going?
10
00:01:48,579 --> 00:01:48,979
Mommy!
11
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:50,178
No, no, no!No, no! No! Mommy!
12
00:01:52,177 --> 00:01:57,076
Emily! Emily! Please! Help me, Mommy!
13
00:02:03,573 --> 00:02:04,473
Ethan!
14
00:02:24,066 --> 00:02:25,965
We've got Amber alerts
up on freeway signs.
15
00:02:26,065 --> 00:02:29,963
We've already received over 300 tips. I
promise you we'll run down every e of 'em.
16
00:02:30,064 --> 00:02:33,362
What is this about? Do you
think they want money from us?
17
00:02:34,063 --> 00:02:37,261
We're prepared for the
possibility of a ransom demand.
18
00:02:37,361 --> 00:02:41,559
We have maybe $3,000 in savings.Our
house is second-mortgaged.
19
00:02:41,660 --> 00:02:44,258
At this point, we don't have
enough information for a motive.
20
00:02:44,958 --> 00:02:49,257
This form here-it'll help you remember everyone
who's been to your house within the last few months-
21
00:02:49,656 --> 00:02:51,256
baby-sitters, gardeners...
22
00:02:51,356 --> 00:02:53,256
You have a worksheet for this?
23
00:02:58,353 --> 00:02:58,753
David...
24
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:06,251
We've got 36 registered sex offenders
25
00:03:06,351 --> 00:03:07,850
just within three square miles.
26
00:03:07,949 --> 00:03:09,050
We'll need to look at all of em.
27
00:03:10,549 --> 00:03:10,949
Hey.
28
00:03:11,349 --> 00:03:15,347
You guys got anything on the clowns? We're collecting
photographs and video taken at the party for a possible I.D.
29
00:03:15,447 --> 00:03:18,247
Okay, the mother got 'em through the same
company that supplied the party rentals.
30
00:03:18,346 --> 00:03:23,444
About two days before t party,someone calls the
company, ys they're Ethan Burdick and cancels the clowns,
31
00:03:23,544 --> 00:03:24,844
although Ethan says it wasn't him.
32
00:03:25,144 --> 00:03:27,743
So whoever planned this knew about
the party,knew which rental company.
33
00:03:28,243 --> 00:03:30,142
The mom, dad, both...
34
00:03:30,241 --> 00:03:34,140
I watched them during the interview.Neher one of
them looked to the other for visual or verbal cues.
35
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,840
No indication of a rehearsed story.
36
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,139
If one of them's involved, the
other one doesn't know about it.
37
00:03:38,939 --> 00:03:41,038
I want to check out the
dad's office.Where's that?
38
00:03:41,138 --> 00:03:41,738
That way.
39
00:03:41,837 --> 00:03:42,337
All right.
40
00:04:08,928 --> 00:04:11,127
What thiis is abstract number theory,
41
00:04:11,227 --> 00:04:12,727
most of it dealing with prime numbers,
42
00:04:12,827 --> 00:04:15,026
which are numbers that can't... I
know what prime numbers are, Charlie.
43
00:04:15,126 --> 00:04:16,525
You can't divide 'em into smaller ones.
44
00:04:17,025 --> 00:04:18,324
Don, this is deep stuff.
45
00:04:19,124 --> 00:04:20,824
This is very advanced work.
46
00:04:21,023 --> 00:04:22,023
His name's Ethan Burdick.
47
00:04:22,223 --> 00:04:22,823
You know him?
48
00:04:23,023 --> 00:04:24,522
No, I've never heard of him, although...
49
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:27,421
you know, just a preliminary
look at his work...
50
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,120
These ideas
51
00:04:29,421 --> 00:04:30,720
on the Critical Strip are...
52
00:04:33,819 --> 00:04:34,419
are elegant.
53
00:04:35,119 --> 00:04:38,618
He's got an approach here I've
actually never seen before.
54
00:04:38,717 --> 00:04:40,716
Wait a minute. All this from
a preliminary look at his work?
55
00:04:40,917 --> 00:04:43,116
I'd say Ethan Burdick
is seriously brilliant.
56
00:04:44,315 --> 00:04:47,614
So brilliant he didn't notice his only kid
being snatched right outside his window.
57
00:04:47,714 --> 00:04:48,114
Yes, I will.
58
00:04:49,113 --> 00:04:49,913
Who is he talking to?
59
00:04:50,313 --> 00:04:53,711
Officer, take your guys in the backyard,
on the side,and take them out of my house.
60
00:04:54,312 --> 00:04:55,711
If I ask you to leave, you
leave.That's it. Mr. Burdick...
61
00:04:55,811 --> 00:04:57,610
End of argument. There's
no discussion here.
62
00:04:57,710 --> 00:05:00,610
I don't need your cooperation in this investigation.I
don't need the police. Whoa, sir, sir, just talk to me.
63
00:05:00,809 --> 00:05:06,576
I don't need the FBI to find my daughter anymore.I need you to leave.Everyone,
out of the house, now. Who called you?Tell me who called you?Who called you?
64
00:05:11,318 --> 00:05:14,948
We all use math every day...every
day...to forecast weather...
65
00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:17,956
to tell time...
66
00:05:19,927 --> 00:05:21,483
to handle money...to handle money...
67
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,943
We also use mathto analyze
crime...analyze crime...
68
00:05:27,084 --> 00:05:28,951
reveal patterns...reveal patterns...
69
00:05:30,092 --> 00:05:31,855
predict behavior...behavior.
70
00:05:32,892 --> 00:05:36,731
Using numbers, we can solve
the biggest mysteries we know.
71
00:05:46,895 --> 00:05:47,467
I told you people to leave.
72
00:05:48,169 --> 00:05:50,374
Do you even have any idea
what you're looking at?
73
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:55,485
Yes. You're making significant progress
toward proving Riemann's Hypothesis.
74
00:05:56,287 --> 00:05:56,988
Yeah. Very good.
75
00:05:57,389 --> 00:05:58,893
You know something about
advanced number theory.
76
00:05:59,895 --> 00:06:01,498
Sorry. I should've introduced myself.
77
00:06:01,799 --> 00:06:03,202
My name is Charlie Eppes.
78
00:06:04,104 --> 00:06:05,407
I'm a professor at CalSci.
79
00:06:07,211 --> 00:06:11,521
I should've recognized you.I attended your
lecture series on P vs. NP a couple years ago.
80
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:14,527
Your work showed a certain... insight.
81
00:06:16,833 --> 00:06:17,735
Where'd you get your degree?
82
00:06:18,536 --> 00:06:19,438
I studied at Cornell,
83
00:06:20,140 --> 00:06:22,746
but I never finished my doctoral thesis.
84
00:06:23,447 --> 00:06:25,251
You've obviously done amazing work here.
85
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:27,356
You should, uh, have it published,
86
00:06:27,757 --> 00:06:29,060
get it out into the math community.
87
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,561
Yeah.
88
00:06:30,363 --> 00:06:32,668
I actually, uh, have the solution.
89
00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:35,374
You can prove Riemann's Hypothesis?
90
00:06:35,474 --> 00:06:37,479
After 15 years, I should hope so.
91
00:06:41,087 --> 00:06:44,996
So... Agent Eppes is...? My brother Don.
92
00:06:45,898 --> 00:06:47,501
In that case, I'm going to
have to ask you to leave, too.
93
00:06:47,601 --> 00:06:49,005
I'm sorry, I... Now.
94
00:06:55,118 --> 00:06:55,920
What happened?
95
00:06:56,521 --> 00:06:57,423
We were almost through the worksheet,
96
00:06:57,524 --> 00:06:59,929
uh, when he got the call
on his cell phone. David...
97
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:01,432
I screwed up.
98
00:07:03,437 --> 00:07:04,038
Mr. Burdick,
99
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:07,045
who contacted you? We don't have to
cooperate with this investigation.
100
00:07:07,145 --> 00:07:10,252
If I ask you to leave,you're requireto
leave. Sir, just please calm down.
101
00:07:10,352 --> 00:07:13,960
Now, I got to tell you, taking advice from the people
that kidnapped your daughter is not a good idea.
102
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:16,165
Ethan, what's...? Becky,I'm
in control of the situation.
103
00:07:16,265 --> 00:07:18,069
I know what's going on.
Sir, you're wrong twice now.
104
00:07:18,170 --> 00:07:21,477
That's what these people are counting on.
Now, I've been through this many times before.
105
00:07:21,577 --> 00:07:24,183
We can greatly increase the
chances of getng your daughter back,
106
00:07:24,283 --> 00:07:26,488
but you've just got to
try and cooperate with us.
107
00:07:29,395 --> 00:07:30,197
Emily!
108
00:07:30,798 --> 00:07:31,199
Mommy!
109
00:07:31,299 --> 00:07:32,301
We need to keep working the case.
110
00:07:32,401 --> 00:07:35,508
Our job is to find the girl with or
without the family's cooperation, right?
111
00:07:35,609 --> 00:07:39,116
Yeah. I think that the kidnapping was
way too much effort for a $3,000 payday.
112
00:07:39,618 --> 00:07:42,624
Yeah. Hey, Charlie, let me ask you something.
The math thing that the father was working on-
113
00:07:42,725 --> 00:07:43,927
is there any way that
could be worth money?
114
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:47,034
Well, it is one of the
Millennium Problems.
115
00:07:47,435 --> 00:07:48,538
What's a Millennium Problem?
116
00:07:48,638 --> 00:07:50,742
Seven, like, classic,
difficult math problems.
117
00:07:50,843 --> 00:07:54,451
The Clay Institute of Mathemati offers one
million dollars for the solutions to each of them.
118
00:07:54,852 --> 00:07:55,754
All right, well, that's motive.
119
00:07:55,854 --> 00:07:57,457
So, how would he collect the award?
120
00:07:58,059 --> 00:08:00,364
Well, first, the solution has to
be published in a refereed journal.
121
00:08:00,464 --> 00:08:04,473
Then it has to achieve general acceptance in
the math community over the course of two years.
122
00:08:04,774 --> 00:08:09,284
And then an advisory committee is convened... It's possible somebody
knows he's working on it but doesn't know how far off the award is.
123
00:08:09,384 --> 00:08:11,188
Right, well, who else would
know he was working on it?
124
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:13,393
I would check with the
math journals,you know,
125
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,698
because maybe he contacted
some of them. All right.
126
00:08:15,798 --> 00:08:17,101
Why don't you give me
some of those names?
127
00:08:18,104 --> 00:08:19,006
Here, actually, you write it...
128
00:08:19,406 --> 00:08:23,716
The American Journal of Number Theory says you're
the point man on papers for Riemann Hypothesis.
129
00:08:24,217 --> 00:08:25,620
I've worked on it for two decades.
130
00:08:26,322 --> 00:08:28,126
Occupational hazard in math
- getting known as the guy
131
00:08:28,226 --> 00:08:30,632
who can't stop trying
to prove Riemann's-
132
00:08:30,832 --> 00:08:32,636
but, uh, I'm not the first.
133
00:08:32,836 --> 00:08:35,442
So, you referee the papers on the
Riemann submitted to the journal, correct?
134
00:08:35,643 --> 00:08:36,044
Yeah.
135
00:08:36,845 --> 00:08:38,249
That's how I first met Ethan Burdick.
136
00:08:39,251 --> 00:08:41,155
Now, two years ago, he wrote a letter
137
00:08:41,456 --> 00:08:47,269
announcing that he was getting close to a solution to the problem and
that he was gog to publish his findings once his work was complete.
138
00:08:47,870 --> 00:08:50,476
Now, when he didn't, uh,
follow up for several months,
139
00:08:51,177 --> 00:08:51,879
I went to see him.
140
00:08:52,781 --> 00:08:54,284
I went back several times. Please.
141
00:08:54,786 --> 00:08:56,790
What did you think, um, of his work?
142
00:08:56,890 --> 00:09:00,899
Oh, it was brilliant, and he made significant
breakthroughs, but it was never quite ready.
143
00:09:01,601 --> 00:09:03,104
Now, a month ago, he wrote,
144
00:09:03,204 --> 00:09:06,111
saying that he was ready
to announce a solution,
145
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:07,714
and this time, he was sure.
146
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:15,833
You think Atwood knew something?
147
00:09:15,933 --> 00:09:16,735
He was scared of something.
148
00:09:17,737 --> 00:09:18,238
Look at this.
149
00:09:18,438 --> 00:09:19,541
The list the Burdicks gave us?
150
00:09:19,841 --> 00:09:23,049
The mother says a cable guy came by
six weeks ago to upgrade the wiring.
151
00:09:23,149 --> 00:09:24,953
Cable company has no record.
152
00:09:25,454 --> 00:09:26,657
Well, you sure you
got the right company?
153
00:09:26,757 --> 00:09:28,160
Only one serves the area.
154
00:09:31,267 --> 00:09:34,073
I think somebody was trying to get
into Ethan Burdick's computer system.
155
00:09:34,775 --> 00:09:35,677
You mean, like, a hacker? Yeah.
156
00:09:35,777 --> 00:09:38,483
The mom booked clowns and rentals
through the party company's Web site.
157
00:09:38,784 --> 00:09:41,891
All right, let's just say they're
after this Riemann Hypothesis thing.
158
00:09:42,091 --> 00:09:43,494
I mean, getting into Ethan's system
159
00:09:43,695 --> 00:09:46,200
would certainly tell
them how far along he is.
160
00:09:47,102 --> 00:09:47,303
Right?
161
00:09:47,804 --> 00:09:49,508
It's Paul Ballard
- the clown.
162
00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:51,111
Who's Paul Ballard?
163
00:09:51,913 --> 00:09:54,118
Now, you investigated this
guy for two other kidnappings?
164
00:09:54,419 --> 00:09:57,826
Yeah. Wife of a bank president,15-year-old
son of a security company chief.
165
00:09:57,927 --> 00:09:59,229
Couldn't make a case either time.
166
00:09:59,330 --> 00:10:01,434
Wife's body was found, boy's
body was never recovered.
167
00:10:01,535 --> 00:10:04,541
Match is 93%
- that's pretty good considering the heavy makeup.
168
00:10:05,143 --> 00:10:06,446
Good catch,Terry, you were right.
169
00:10:06,546 --> 00:10:07,648
I should've seen it sooner.
170
00:10:08,951 --> 00:10:10,956
We sent him away for tax
evasion before you got to L.A.
171
00:10:11,056 --> 00:10:11,757
Best we could do.
172
00:10:12,058 --> 00:10:15,065
There was an early release initiative
at McNeill Correctional Institute.
173
00:10:15,566 --> 00:10:17,771
Ballard got out. No parole.
174
00:10:26,992 --> 00:10:27,793
Hello. Hey.
175
00:10:28,796 --> 00:10:30,098
Tell me you found Emily Burdick.
176
00:10:30,499 --> 00:10:31,702
No, I'm sorry, buddy, not yet.
177
00:10:31,802 --> 00:10:36,613
Hey, take a look at this.Here in the kitchen, I put in
the new sink myself,and the, uh... I did the tile work.
178
00:10:36,713 --> 00:10:37,916
Oh, it's beautiful work.
179
00:10:38,317 --> 00:10:41,023
I like how you've preserved
the original Craftsman detail.
180
00:10:41,123 --> 00:10:42,526
Oh, hey, boys. Hi.
181
00:10:43,629 --> 00:10:44,531
We didn't know you were home.
182
00:10:45,332 --> 00:10:47,337
Meredith, my two sons-
183
00:10:47,638 --> 00:10:48,439
this is Don and Charlie.
184
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,341
How are you? Hi, Don.
185
00:10:49,642 --> 00:10:51,446
Nice to meet you.
Hello.Pleasure. Hello, Charlie.
186
00:10:51,947 --> 00:10:54,854
Oh, Meredith, would you mind going upstairs
for a minute?I'll be right with you.
187
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:56,558
Sure. Um...Um...
188
00:10:59,665 --> 00:11:01,769
What? Nice. She's cute.
189
00:11:01,869 --> 00:11:02,471
What's going on? What is this?
190
00:11:02,571 --> 00:11:03,573
Oh, come on, Charlie.
191
00:11:04,375 --> 00:11:05,177
Don't you remember we talked about this?
192
00:11:05,277 --> 00:11:05,979
Talked about what? No.
193
00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:09,887
I'm sorry, I should have made sure you were paying
attention when I was ta... Don't apologize, Dad.
194
00:11:09,988 --> 00:11:12,192
No, you have no idea
what this is all about
195
00:11:12,293 --> 00:11:13,696
trust me. I don't think we want to know.
196
00:11:13,896 --> 00:11:15,801
Well, you have to
know. No, we don't, Dad.
197
00:11:15,901 --> 00:11:19,509
Look, you're allowed to have a private life. Wait
a minute.Just hold it a second.This is not a date.
198
00:11:21,614 --> 00:11:25,522
Oh, my... Dad, what are you telling
me?That this woman is a pr...
199
00:11:25,622 --> 00:11:26,525
Real estate agent.
200
00:11:27,026 --> 00:11:27,827
All right. I'm confu...
201
00:11:28,128 --> 00:11:31,235
Are you dating a real estate
agent? No, he's selling the house.
202
00:11:31,335 --> 00:11:33,640
Yes... Why? I-I live here.
203
00:11:33,741 --> 00:11:35,444
Don't you remember?Don't
you remember? You ve here.
204
00:11:35,545 --> 00:11:37,549
I said I wanted to find
a smaller place for myself
205
00:11:37,649 --> 00:11:40,456
maybe a condo.You need a place of your own. I remember
that, sure.But I didn't think you were serious.
206
00:11:41,358 --> 00:11:43,663
You can't sell our house. What are you
saying?This is our house. Look, the market is...
207
00:11:43,763 --> 00:11:49,376
the market is at its peak right now. Yeah, but I live here.We are
living... we are living on a very large part of my retirement savings.
208
00:11:49,476 --> 00:11:52,483
He's right. Prices are
high.Believe me, I've looked around.
209
00:11:52,583 --> 00:11:54,888
Can we... do me a favor... I like
how it looks upstairs; it's great.
210
00:11:55,189 --> 00:11:56,191
I love the solarium.
211
00:11:56,491 --> 00:11:58,696
Oh, you haven't seen the outside.
I do my best work in the solarium.
212
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:02,705
Oh, that's the heating
system.It's a little temperamental.
213
00:12:03,206 --> 00:12:04,509
It needs a little finessing.
I'll show you later.
214
00:12:05,010 --> 00:12:08,719
Just wanted you to see this here, at
the front of the house, we have, uh...
215
00:12:09,821 --> 00:12:10,823
Look, rela
216
00:12:11,024 --> 00:12:13,830
I got a great apartment in a great
neighborhood.You'll find one, too.
217
00:12:14,131 --> 00:12:15,233
Then why are you over here all the time?
218
00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:18,040
Because I'm making sure
you let Dad have a life.
219
00:12:31,971 --> 00:12:34,877
Mrs. Burdick...I need a minute
of your time, please. Agent Lake.
220
00:12:36,481 --> 00:12:37,483
Have you ever seen this man?
221
00:12:41,993 --> 00:12:42,394
No.
222
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:44,900
I think this is the man that has Emily.
223
00:12:46,002 --> 00:12:47,806
He's kidnapped before
and gotten away with it.
224
00:12:48,207 --> 00:12:50,011
You need to let us
help you. Ethan says...
225
00:12:50,111 --> 00:12:51,615
Ethan says he can get Emily back.
226
00:12:52,617 --> 00:12:57,027
Your husband thinks that he is in control of
something he is definitely not in control of.
227
00:12:58,931 --> 00:13:00,033
These other kidnappings-
228
00:13:00,635 --> 00:13:02,238
did those families cooperate with you?
229
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,045
Yes. But you say he got away with it.
230
00:13:05,646 --> 00:13:07,650
And he's still out there,and
he's taken our daughter.
231
00:13:08,152 --> 00:13:09,755
With your help, we
can get him this time.
232
00:13:09,855 --> 00:13:12,561
I don't care about him,
Agent Lake.I care about Emily.
233
00:13:13,363 --> 00:13:16,671
My husband, the smartest
man I have ever met...
234
00:13:18,374 --> 00:13:21,281
when he says he knows what
he's doing, I believe him.
235
00:13:21,481 --> 00:13:22,283
Mrs. Burdick...
236
00:13:34,811 --> 00:13:37,317
Okay, what's the biggest
number you can think of?
237
00:13:38,018 --> 00:13:40,825
Um, a gazillion
- is that a real number?
238
00:13:41,626 --> 00:13:42,328
No.
239
00:13:43,130 --> 00:13:45,234
A quadrillion. Quadrillion.
240
00:13:45,535 --> 00:13:53,553
That's 1,000 trillion, or 1 followed
by 150's.Or it can be written like this.
241
00:13:53,653 --> 00:13:57,762
Now, this is how many protons
are in the entire known universe.
242
00:13:58,163 --> 00:14:00,970
And this is the size of the numbers
243
00:14:01,070 --> 00:14:04,177
used to encrypt Internet transactions.
244
00:14:05,079 --> 00:14:05,881
Huge numbers.
245
00:14:06,582 --> 00:14:09,889
But for encryption,we don't use
just big numbers. We use big numbers
246
00:14:10,190 --> 00:14:16,003
that are built by multiplying large prime numbers,because,
see, primes are the basic building blocks of mathematics.
247
00:14:17,206 --> 00:14:18,008
And as far as we know,
248
00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:23,119
they occur at random intervals
along the number line.
249
00:14:27,629 --> 00:14:29,634
Because of that,it's incredibly hard
250
00:14:29,934 --> 00:14:31,538
to take a giant number apart
251
00:14:31,638 --> 00:14:35,046
and break it down to its
prime components, okay?
252
00:14:35,146 --> 00:14:37,451
I mean, that's basically
how Internet security works.
253
00:14:38,052 --> 00:14:42,262
A large, unknown prime number hidden inside
a giant number that can't be broken down.
254
00:14:42,663 --> 00:14:46,672
So, the reason hackers can't break the encrtions
is because of the sheercomplexity of the math?
255
00:14:46,872 --> 00:14:48,375
Exactly, and it is complex.
256
00:14:48,676 --> 00:14:52,785
In 1977, three mathematicians challenged
the readers of Scientific American
257
00:14:52,986 --> 00:14:58,498
to factor a 129-digit number.It took
hundreds of people 17 years to do it.
258
00:14:58,598 --> 00:15:00,703
What does this have to do
with Burdick's Reimann thing?
259
00:15:01,104 --> 00:15:06,015
His work can help find large primes, making it
easier to create what we call a "number sieve
260
00:15:06,616 --> 00:15:11,026
a tool that takes this and
finds the primes that built it.
261
00:15:12,229 --> 00:15:12,930
Once you have that,
262
00:15:13,131 --> 00:15:15,436
you can find the decryption
constant and get in-
263
00:15:16,137 --> 00:15:17,641
into people's bank accounts,
264
00:15:17,741 --> 00:15:19,545
into their credit card transactions,
265
00:15:20,347 --> 00:15:22,051
practically any secure website.
266
00:15:22,852 --> 00:15:27,062
Wait a minute.That's why they took the girl. It's
not Burdick's money they're after;it's everyone's.
267
00:15:33,376 --> 00:15:36,483
That's why Ballard She's his
tool to get the big score.
268
00:15:36,784 --> 00:15:38,187
Look at this; he's in the wind.
269
00:15:38,888 --> 00:15:40,592
Phony addresses, offshore accounts,
270
00:15:40,893 --> 00:15:41,895
bogus P.O. boxes.
271
00:15:42,496 --> 00:15:45,002
Terry, let me ask you
something.What happened? Yeah?
272
00:15:46,205 --> 00:15:48,209
What's the deal?This guy got
under your skin or sething?
273
00:15:48,510 --> 00:15:51,617
Yeah, uh... I was there when the
found the bank president's wife's body.
274
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:54,523
Got a two-week suspension for running
the Ballard tax case on my own.
275
00:15:54,924 --> 00:15:57,330
sistant Director said I was
on a vendetta. And were you?
276
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:59,033
Yeah, probably.
277
00:16:01,439 --> 00:16:06,049
Well, look, first of all, a guy like Ballard's going to need
someone with computer skills and an advanced knowledge of math
278
00:16:06,149 --> 00:16:07,051
to pull something like this off.
279
00:16:07,151 --> 00:16:09,958
Maybe he's got a crew that consists
of a hacker and a mathematician.
280
00:16:10,058 --> 00:16:10,960
Here's an idea on the hacker.
281
00:16:11,662 --> 00:16:15,370
I searched for people who did jail time with Paul
Ballard, checked against records for computer crimes.
282
00:16:15,570 --> 00:16:16,673
Came up with Carl Mittendorf.
283
00:16:17,374 --> 00:16:18,176
Mittendorf.
284
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:20,281
I remember this kid.
285
00:16:21,183 --> 00:16:22,586
He hacked into some, like, big
286
00:16:22,786 --> 00:16:24,390
financial newsletter,
right? Yeah, right.
287
00:16:24,490 --> 00:16:28,299
Made investments off? recommend what they were
going to Nailed by the SEC for insider trading.
288
00:16:28,499 --> 00:16:30,203
Let me guess
- his cellmate was Paul Ballard?
289
00:16:30,403 --> 00:16:31,205
Well, let's pick him up.
290
00:16:31,606 --> 00:16:32,207
We can't.
291
00:16:32,508 --> 00:16:33,911
Skipped his last two
parole appointments.
292
00:16:34,112 --> 00:16:35,515
Police got no leads on his whereabouts.
293
00:16:39,023 --> 00:16:41,027
Do you guys know anything about
a hacker named Carl Mittendorf?
294
00:16:41,528 --> 00:16:42,330
Mittendorf? Yes.
295
00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:43,433
Sure. He's good.
296
00:16:43,833 --> 00:16:47,441
He's famous for hacking into his math
professor's computer and changing the grades.
297
00:16:48,143 --> 00:16:50,949
Poor Dr. Atwood, yes, already infamous
298
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:53,355
for his failure to prove
the Reimann Hypothesis.
299
00:16:53,555 --> 00:16:55,359
Atwood
- you mean Steven Atwood?
300
00:16:56,161 --> 00:16:56,963
Yeah, that's him.
301
00:16:57,364 --> 00:16:58,867
Carl Mittendorf took
classes from Atwood?
302
00:16:59,669 --> 00:17:00,170
They know each other?
303
00:17:02,375 --> 00:17:02,876
Thank you.
304
00:17:10,593 --> 00:17:12,999
Now, Dad, I've been checking
around.You were right about the house.
305
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:13,700
You were right.
306
00:17:14,201 --> 00:17:17,709
Yeah, the real estate lady said that
this property on the current market
307
00:17:18,010 --> 00:17:19,714
I can expect competing bids.
308
00:17:23,322 --> 00:17:24,123
Dad, am I, uh...?
309
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:26,429
Do I bug you?
310
00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:29,736
What? What kind of a question is that?
311
00:17:29,836 --> 00:17:32,141
Well, it's just, you know
- my math work, and uh...
312
00:17:34,046 --> 00:17:38,155
I never listen, and I'm
always in my own world. Well
313
00:17:39,458 --> 00:17:41,963
that sort of makes you the ideal
housemate, doesn't it, Charlie?
314
00:17:42,064 --> 00:17:43,968
Hmm. Well,
315
00:17:44,669 --> 00:17:45,772
I just wanted to make sure.
316
00:17:46,974 --> 00:17:47,576
Make sure of what?
317
00:17:48,378 --> 00:17:51,685
You're selling the house because
you want to do it for... yourself.
318
00:17:51,785 --> 00:17:53,489
No, Charlie, I want to
do it for both of us.
319
00:17:55,694 --> 00:17:56,897
I thought we were having a good time.
320
00:17:57,498 --> 00:17:58,099
We are.
321
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,703
It's just that this house is so big,
322
00:18:00,705 --> 00:18:02,810
and it takes so much
work to maintain it.
323
00:18:04,113 --> 00:18:05,516
And besides, you're almost 30.
324
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:08,523
Don't you think it's about time
you found a place of your own?
325
00:18:10,026 --> 00:18:11,229
I love this house.
326
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:12,231
So do I.
327
00:18:15,538 --> 00:18:18,244
But still, the both of
us, we have to move on.
328
00:18:21,251 --> 00:18:22,253
Let's just put it together.
329
00:18:22,654 --> 00:18:27,264
Burdick tells Atwood he's cracked Riemann's. Atwood
sees potential for a heist, tells Carl Mittendorf.
330
00:18:27,365 --> 00:18:29,770
Mittendorf calls Paul
Ballard,the kidnap specialist.
331
00:18:29,870 --> 00:18:34,581
Well, we'll try one more time to see if we can get Burdick
to cooperate. If we can be there for the hand-off...
332
00:18:34,681 --> 00:18:37,187
I mean, you know, we might get lucky
and they'll lead us right to the kid.
333
00:18:37,487 --> 00:18:39,191
Burdick thinks he can
do this without us,
334
00:18:39,492 --> 00:18:40,594
we won't get in the front door.
335
00:18:41,496 --> 00:18:43,200
Well...maybe Charlie will.
336
00:18:59,737 --> 00:19:00,839
What the he...?!
337
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:01,942
Uh, Becky!
338
00:19:03,946 --> 00:19:04,548
Becky!
339
00:19:05,450 --> 00:19:06,552
I told her I was here to help you.
340
00:19:06,853 --> 00:19:10,561
But you're not. You're here to talk your brother
in the door.And in case you haven't realized it,
341
00:19:10,661 --> 00:19:11,964
I don't have time to waste.
342
00:19:12,165 --> 00:19:14,069
I think you'd be better
off letting him do h job
343
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:15,973
because he's actually pretty good at it.
344
00:19:16,575 --> 00:19:21,385
They've figured out that the kidnapper want your prf
on the Riemann Hypothesis,your work on number sieves.
345
00:19:23,189 --> 00:19:25,194
Well, that's not exactly
the stuff of Sherlock Holmes.
346
00:19:25,795 --> 00:19:28,401
They're going to use its capabilities
to break Internet encryption.
347
00:19:30,205 --> 00:19:30,907
Which means...
348
00:19:31,708 --> 00:19:34,214
they'll expect you to distill
it down to an algorithm.
349
00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:38,323
That would be a huge job
under normal circumstances,but
350
00:19:38,824 --> 00:19:44,236
Ethan with a time limit, the stress of your
daughter's... Yeah, I know that,I know, okay?
351
00:19:44,838 --> 00:19:46,341
15 years of work...
352
00:19:46,742 --> 00:19:52,655
my life's work...and I have to process it into an algorithm
for people who don't give a damn. And to give it up like that...
353
00:19:53,156 --> 00:19:55,361
it's like a part of me is
dying. I understand that.
354
00:19:55,462 --> 00:19:56,664
More than that, more than anything,
355
00:19:56,764 --> 00:19:59,871
I
- I need to get Emily back.
356
00:20:08,892 --> 00:20:09,393
Let me help you.
357
00:20:11,497 --> 00:20:13,101
I'm not suggesting a collaboration.
358
00:20:14,103 --> 00:20:15,607
It's obviously all your work...
359
00:20:15,807 --> 00:20:18,212
I don't care about that anymore. It's...
360
00:20:25,028 --> 00:20:25,930
I need your help.
361
00:20:26,731 --> 00:20:27,433
Well, you got it.
362
00:21:11,131 --> 00:21:12,834
Ah, here's the next section.
363
00:21:13,636 --> 00:21:14,137
Okay.
364
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:18,647
Oh, okay, yeah, no, I see how
this works...I'm sorry,I see.
365
00:21:19,349 --> 00:21:20,051
But, um...
366
00:21:20,852 --> 00:21:24,260
see, um... I'm still not so sure
that I follow from this point...
367
00:21:24,961 --> 00:21:25,763
how we get to here.
368
00:21:26,264 --> 00:21:26,766
See what I'm saying?
369
00:21:26,866 --> 00:21:31,777
I
- I think I... I have another...there's another notebook. Okay.
370
00:21:41,098 --> 00:21:41,498
Hmm.
371
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:43,703
What's wrong?
372
00:21:44,605 --> 00:21:46,008
This material for the number sieve...
373
00:21:47,111 --> 00:21:49,617
I don't see how a working
algorithm can be built from this.
374
00:21:50,418 --> 00:21:54,327
I don't see anything that supports the expansionof
theero-free region into the critical strip.
375
00:21:57,133 --> 00:21:57,534
Ethan?
376
00:21:57,835 --> 00:22:00,341
Uh... I don't...
377
00:22:00,441 --> 00:22:01,543
I'm not really sure...
378
00:22:01,643 --> 00:22:05,151
Ethan, all your conclusions emanate
from this point.If it's not fairly solid,
379
00:22:06,154 --> 00:22:07,456
we can't get to where we need to go.
380
00:22:08,158 --> 00:22:08,659
I know.
381
00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:14,171
It doesn't work.
382
00:22:20,285 --> 00:22:24,394
It doesn't work, it...it
needs... we have...
383
00:22:24,695 --> 00:22:28,203
It has to work, so we need to fix it. You and I
- we have to fix this.
384
00:22:28,303 --> 00:22:33,114
It's a 150-year-old math problem.You know, we can't
just solve it cause we want or because we need to.
385
00:22:33,214 --> 00:22:35,218
How about because my
daughter's life depends on it?
386
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,426
How about because she's going
to die when they realize...
387
00:22:38,826 --> 00:22:39,929
there's nothing?
388
00:22:43,036 --> 00:22:43,637
There's nothing.
389
00:22:45,241 --> 00:22:48,648
There's nothing to
give them for her life.
390
00:22:56,065 --> 00:22:57,869
They bought me some games,
391
00:22:58,370 --> 00:23:00,675
and they let me eat whatever I want,
392
00:23:01,878 --> 00:23:02,780
like pizza.
393
00:23:03,682 --> 00:23:04,885
But I miss you.
394
00:23:05,486 --> 00:23:06,889
They said I can come home
395
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:09,695
if Daddy helps them with a math problem.
396
00:23:12,201 --> 00:23:15,609
And you can do it, Daddy,
'cause you're the best at math.
397
00:23:15,809 --> 00:23:17,312
I told them.
398
00:23:19,918 --> 00:23:20,620
When did this come in?
399
00:23:20,921 --> 00:23:25,431
A few hours after I asked you to leave. The man on the
phone said to distill the theorems into an algorithm,
400
00:23:25,531 --> 00:23:26,734
that we'd be concted later.
401
00:23:27,134 --> 00:23:28,838
All right, explain something to me.
402
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:30,542
So he was lyg the whole time?
403
00:23:31,043 --> 00:23:33,449
No, he wasn't lying. He was
convinced that he had it.
404
00:23:34,351 --> 00:23:35,052
And you can't do it?
405
00:23:36,255 --> 00:23:39,362
Don, you just asked me to solve one of the
world's biggest mysteries in a few hours.
406
00:23:39,462 --> 00:23:41,867
Charlie, you got me thinking you
can do anything with numbers. No.
407
00:23:43,571 --> 00:23:44,674
What do you think we should do now?
408
00:23:45,175 --> 00:23:48,382
Well, same thing I did when I was in
school and I didn't know the answer-
409
00:23:49,484 --> 00:23:49,985
fake it.
410
00:23:51,088 --> 00:23:54,896
Ethan, look, we're going to do
everything we can to get your girl back,
411
00:23:54,997 --> 00:23:55,498
all right? How?
412
00:23:55,999 --> 00:23:57,101
We're going to give them Reimann's.
413
00:23:57,703 --> 00:23:58,304
But I don't have it.
414
00:23:58,505 --> 00:24:00,509
Yeah, well, you got something
that looks a hell of a lot like it.
415
00:24:01,010 --> 00:24:06,823
My brother's right.We can work off your principles and compose
an algorithm that should be able to pass initial scrutiny.
416
00:24:06,923 --> 00:24:09,329
So you'll make the drop,and
we're going to track it.
417
00:24:09,730 --> 00:24:10,231
Thank you.
418
00:24:10,632 --> 00:24:12,135
Ah, you can thank me when we're done.
419
00:24:20,554 --> 00:24:23,360
Now, Charles,I've been thinking
about your housing situation.
420
00:24:23,761 --> 00:24:27,369
If your father sells the house,I
have 800 square feet I'm not using.
421
00:24:29,975 --> 00:24:32,080
Yeah, there's certainly room enough
for you in that huge, old place.
422
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,492
Huge, old place? It's 1877 Victorian
that I've restored inside, outside.
423
00:24:37,692 --> 00:24:41,200
My equy has soared exponentially
in the last ten years.
424
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,403
That's why my dad's selling.
425
00:24:42,703 --> 00:24:43,705
All the equity on the home.
426
00:24:45,109 --> 00:24:46,311
There it is. I got it.
427
00:24:46,512 --> 00:24:46,712
Hey,
428
00:24:47,213 --> 00:24:48,817
you just said you wanted
something to eat, right?
429
00:24:48,917 --> 00:24:50,922
You're hungry?Come with
me.Come-come with me. Sure.
430
00:24:56,434 --> 00:24:56,835
Kyono?
431
00:24:57,837 --> 00:24:58,338
Yeah?
432
00:24:58,739 --> 00:25:00,042
Special Agent David Sinclair.
433
00:25:01,113 --> 00:25:02,313
Oh, too bad.
434
00:25:02,613 --> 00:25:03,612
You have nice eyes.
435
00:25:03,712 --> 00:25:06,111
I'd like to ask you a few
questions about Carl Mittendorf.
436
00:25:06,511 --> 00:25:09,310
Do you guys have, like, a file for
me under "ex-girlfriend" or something?
437
00:25:10,009 --> 00:25:11,309
Have you seen Carl recently?
438
00:25:11,709 --> 00:25:13,908
No. He got busted, I got scarce.
439
00:25:14,008 --> 00:25:16,107
Dihever attempt to contact
you when he was in prison?
440
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:17,206
He tried.
441
00:25:17,407 --> 00:25:19,206
Wanted to get together when he got out,
442
00:25:19,505 --> 00:25:20,605
which was not going to happen.
443
00:25:21,105 --> 00:25:22,804
Why not? What was he into?
444
00:25:23,903 --> 00:25:24,504
Look,
445
00:25:24,803 --> 00:25:27,002
I don't really like the
guy, he's a bit of a creep,
446
00:25:27,302 --> 00:25:30,501
which I found out the hard way, but
I don't want to get him in trouble.
447
00:25:30,901 --> 00:25:34,400
I mean, he's harmless.He spouts off
all the me about stuff he never does.
448
00:25:36,798 --> 00:25:38,898
Kyono, he's not harmless.
449
00:25:39,298 --> 00:25:41,197
The life of a small
ild might be at stake.
450
00:25:41,796 --> 00:25:43,595
Carl? No way.
451
00:25:47,794 --> 00:25:49,494
He always had these big schemes,
452
00:25:49,593 --> 00:25:51,892
but he wound up doing
stupid, little stuff.
453
00:25:52,592 --> 00:25:57,889
He called me right before he got out. He said he'd gotten in on
something really big.Like that was going to impress me or something.
454
00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:59,189
Do you know what this big thing is?
455
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:01,488
Something about the
biggest hacking job ever.
456
00:26:04,586 --> 00:26:08,485
Said he was going after the biggest
financial secret in the world.
457
00:26:12,183 --> 00:26:14,483
The world' biggest financial secret.
458
00:26:14,583 --> 00:26:16,482
That you get by breaking
Internet encryption.
459
00:26:16,982 --> 00:26:18,581
Some huge merger, acquisition?
460
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,280
FDA approval of a new drug?
461
00:26:21,979 --> 00:26:25,478
No, that's a large single point
investment.The SEC would be all over that.
462
00:26:26,178 --> 00:26:30,676
Financial secret that would allow you to make a broad
range of investments that can't be traced back to you.
463
00:26:35,873 --> 00:26:37,173
Hey. Hey.
464
00:26:38,073 --> 00:26:38,472
How's it coming?
465
00:26:38,673 --> 00:26:41,871
Good. The way we're setting it up,it'll take
Atwood a while to notice it's incomplete.
466
00:26:41,971 --> 00:26:42,771
How you doing, Ethan?
467
00:26:43,671 --> 00:26:47,070
So, wait, I can't believe Stephen's
involved.He was my colleague, my friend.
468
00:26:47,569 --> 00:26:55,566
Well, look, wee checked into hisinancial status.In the last
two months, your friend liquidated all of his assets which
definitely gave him enough cash on hand to make some investments.
469
00:26:55,666 --> 00:26:57,265
So when we finish this,
what's the next step?
470
00:26:57,865 --> 00:26:59,709
Well, whatever they ask.
We take the information,
471
00:26:59,810 --> 00:27:03,819
we give them the formula. We just have to make sure we have
enough time before they figure out it's not going to work, right?
472
00:27:03,919 --> 00:27:08,128
They're going to factor big numbers, so they'll need
to use a supercomputer.But there's only so many of them.
473
00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:11,836
But we can monitor who's using them during
the time they need to run the algorithm.
474
00:27:11,937 --> 00:27:12,939
Unless they built their own.
475
00:27:13,540 --> 00:27:16,046
Wait, you can build
a supercomputer? Yeah,
476
00:27:16,146 --> 00:27:19,153
by linking a lot of smaller computers
together, using them for parallel processing.
477
00:27:19,253 --> 00:27:22,059
Then we're looking for someone who bought
a lot of high-end computer equipment?
478
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,565
It'll also pull a lot
of electrical power,
479
00:27:24,866 --> 00:27:25,968
about 200,000 watts.
480
00:27:26,469 --> 00:27:29,376
The DEA tracks high electrical
usage,looking for marijuana growers.
481
00:27:29,476 --> 00:27:31,480
Oh, yeah? How would you
know something like that?
482
00:27:31,881 --> 00:27:33,385
I read an article in "The New Yorker."
483
00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:36,892
Be hard to keep a supercomputer cool.
484
00:27:37,193 --> 00:27:39,198
It requires units of liquid Freon.
485
00:27:39,899 --> 00:27:41,002
All right, well, we can track that.
486
00:27:42,605 --> 00:27:43,006
Excuse me.
487
00:27:45,411 --> 00:27:46,915
This just arrived by messenger.
488
00:27:47,316 --> 00:27:48,719
Dropped at the messenger company.
489
00:27:49,220 --> 00:27:50,022
No witnesses.
490
00:27:54,732 --> 00:27:58,040
We will know in 12 hours from
delivery if the solution works.
491
00:27:59,042 --> 00:27:59,844
If it doesn't...
492
00:28:00,846 --> 00:28:02,149
your daughter dies.
493
00:28:03,853 --> 00:28:11,971
So put everything on computer
files and call 818-555-4275.
494
00:28:12,973 --> 00:28:14,777
By 6:00 tonight.
495
00:28:17,483 --> 00:28:18,886
Was it all right that time?
496
00:28:33,018 --> 00:28:34,220
That gives us 14 hours.
497
00:28:35,022 --> 00:28:35,924
With no hand-off.
498
00:28:36,425 --> 00:28:37,428
It's an Internet hand-off.
499
00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:38,931
If we can trace where
they're coming from.
500
00:28:39,031 --> 00:28:41,537
A hacker with Mittendorf's
skills,won't be easy or likely.
501
00:28:41,637 --> 00:28:43,040
Y said, if we cooperated...
502
00:28:43,842 --> 00:28:45,746
you said we'd get our daughter back.
503
00:28:46,348 --> 00:28:48,152
Ma'am, we're doing everything we can.
504
00:28:49,655 --> 00:28:50,557
I think there's a way.
505
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:56,971
Reimann's is a master key-
506
00:28:57,072 --> 00:28:58,976
it opens all doors.Doesn't it, Ethan?
507
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,684
Well, they have a plan
to open just one door-
508
00:29:03,586 --> 00:29:04,989
it's a really important door.
509
00:29:05,891 --> 00:29:10,201
Now, we can't give them the master
key, but we can open that door for them
510
00:29:11,103 --> 00:29:12,807
by creating a false master key.
511
00:29:13,508 --> 00:29:15,513
And by designing the lock it opens.
512
00:29:17,016 --> 00:29:19,321
If we can figure out what door
it is they're trying to open.
513
00:29:20,023 --> 00:29:23,030
Yeah, the question becomes what's
the world's biggest financial secret?
514
00:29:33,867 --> 00:29:38,867
Say this... this is the financial
information that the kidnappers want, right?
515
00:29:38,967 --> 00:29:40,566
And then, um, this here...
516
00:29:41,266 --> 00:29:42,066
yeah, here,
517
00:29:43,765 --> 00:29:45,965
that's the Internet location
where it can be found.
518
00:29:46,265 --> 00:29:46,865
Okay? Yeah.
519
00:29:46,966 --> 00:29:49,165
So once we know what this is, we can...
520
00:29:51,264 --> 00:29:53,864
build a security wall around it.
521
00:29:54,664 --> 00:29:56,164
With our own special lock,
522
00:29:56,264 --> 00:30:02,263
designed only to respond to the false key that we will
provide them with.That way, when they try to access this...
523
00:30:02,563 --> 00:30:04,163
We catch them with their hand
in the Internet cookie jar.
524
00:30:04,262 --> 00:30:06,163
They think they've cracked
the system, but it's a set-up.
525
00:30:06,563 --> 00:30:10,362
We know they're coming. We can watch for the
break-in,then track them back through the net
526
00:30:10,562 --> 00:30:12,862
by marking the data
we know they've taken.
527
00:30:13,161 --> 00:30:14,461
Forcinthem to leave a cyber trail.
528
00:30:15,062 --> 00:30:18,161
Yeah, but it still doesn't deal with the
fact that we don't know what they're after.
529
00:30:18,261 --> 00:30:20,660
We know Ballard likes big
payoffs that can't be traced.
530
00:30:25,060 --> 00:30:25,960
It's interest rates.
531
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:31,559
Dad wants to sell the house, because he's
worried that interest rates are going to go up.
532
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:37,258
The Federal Reserve Board's announcement's due in, like, two days.
I mean, that's a full 24 hours after the kidnappers' deadline.
533
00:30:37,558 --> 00:30:39,658
With the information classified
until the actual announcement.
534
00:30:40,158 --> 00:30:44,757
The prime interest rate affects the cost of
bonds and currency, precious metals, real estate.
535
00:30:45,257 --> 00:30:51,556
If he knows about it in advance, he can make investments across the board-foreign
currencies, foreign commodity markets-extremely profitable, impossible to track.
536
00:30:51,656 --> 00:30:54,056
We should see if they set up any
accounts in any of those areas.
537
00:30:54,555 --> 00:30:57,854
And we should also get our people building
a fake interface to the Federal Reserve.
538
00:31:13,952 --> 00:31:14,652
How are we doing?
539
00:31:16,052 --> 00:31:16,952
We built the false key.
540
00:31:17,552 --> 00:31:21,152
Amita's creating a transparent tracer that's
silently pinging the kidnappers' computer.
541
00:31:23,352 --> 00:31:23,751
Yeah. Eppes.
542
00:31:23,851 --> 00:31:26,151
Hey, we're on track with
the Federal Reserve rate.
543
00:31:26,450 --> 00:31:31,450
Atwood just opened up a range of new accounts-commodities,
precious metals,treasury bonds, mortgage companies,
544
00:31:31,650 --> 00:31:33,750
poised to profit off a
change in the prime rate.
545
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:34,650
Anything with Ballard?
546
00:31:35,149 --> 00:31:37,049
Nothing. Guy like that knows
how to cover his tracks.
547
00:31:38,349 --> 00:31:38,849
You all right?
548
00:31:38,948 --> 00:31:39,249
Yeah.
549
00:31:41,048 --> 00:31:41,948
Terry, we're going to get this guy.
550
00:31:43,648 --> 00:31:44,148
Okay?
551
00:31:45,248 --> 00:31:45,748
David, you there?
552
00:31:46,148 --> 00:31:48,247
Yep. We're monitoring
traffic on the Fed's database.
553
00:31:48,347 --> 00:31:50,847
Anybody goes fishing for
classified interest rate data,
554
00:31:51,147 --> 00:31:51,947
we'll know it.
555
00:32:05,245 --> 00:32:09,445
The number you have reached is not in service
at this time, and there is no new number.
556
00:32:10,144 --> 00:32:13,243
please be sure you have checked the
telephone directory for the right...
557
00:32:13,343 --> 00:32:14,643
Carl Mittendorf knows how
to work the phone system.
558
00:32:14,943 --> 00:32:17,043
They know we calle Trust me.
559
00:32:17,543 --> 00:32:18,543
Sir, here we go.
560
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:24,642
All right, send it.
561
00:32:30,741 --> 00:32:31,041
Whoa.
562
00:32:32,441 --> 00:32:35,540
Should take them several hours
to generate an encryption key.
563
00:32:35,841 --> 00:32:38,740
Then they'll think they have what
they need to crack the Federal Reserve.
564
00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:50,338
They're here.
565
00:32:51,339 --> 00:32:52,138
Someone's just come in
566
00:32:53,838 --> 00:32:56,537
They've got the fake encryption key,and
they're coming in via the false firewalls.
567
00:33:00,136 --> 00:33:00,937
He's walking right in.
568
00:33:02,336 --> 00:33:03,636
Lock and key fit together perfectly.
569
00:33:03,736 --> 00:33:04,636
What's he going after?
570
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:09,236
The classified prime interest
rate,just like you guys said. Great.
571
00:33:19,334 --> 00:33:21,034
He's out. Got a location?!
572
00:33:23,534 --> 00:33:25,133
It's down to two cell towers.
573
00:33:29,433 --> 00:33:30,032
He broke off.
574
00:33:31,132 --> 00:33:31,533
He's gone.
575
00:33:35,413 --> 00:33:37,114
Cross-check it with the
list for Freon purchases.
576
00:33:42,116 --> 00:33:44,217
It's there. We got it.
577
00:33:44,417 --> 00:33:45,317
Good, grab it. Let's go.
578
00:34:01,756 --> 00:34:02,957
He's got it, definitely.
579
00:34:05,426 --> 00:34:08,228
...the Federal Reserve is going
to up the prime interest rate-
580
00:34:08,428 --> 00:34:14,130
oh, you'll like this
- by a full half point.
581
00:34:15,431 --> 00:34:19,732
Between bonds, foreign currency,precious
metals, we're looking at making 200,
582
00:34:19,833 --> 00:34:23,234
maybe $300 million.There's Mittendorf.
583
00:34:25,236 --> 00:34:26,236
Anyone got a sign on the girl?
584
00:34:28,737 --> 00:34:30,437
You know what? I think you guys
should get your team in place.
585
00:34:34,439 --> 00:34:34,839
Something's off.
586
00:34:34,940 --> 00:34:37,040
Feels like the
algorithms are incomplete.
587
00:34:37,140 --> 00:34:37,641
Ballard...
588
00:34:37,941 --> 00:34:38,341
we've got him.
589
00:34:44,744 --> 00:34:46,544
Don't need Carl and
the Professor anymore.
590
00:34:47,345 --> 00:34:47,845
Get rid of them.
591
00:34:50,147 --> 00:34:51,047
Let's get to the airport.
592
00:34:51,647 --> 00:34:55,849
We'll start moving the money once we... All right, I want to
go.Let's move, let's move.All units, let's move,let's move.
593
00:34:59,450 --> 00:35:00,451
Look, um, I-I don't like this.
594
00:35:00,852 --> 00:35:07,053
Relax. No, no. Relax.
Please... have a beer.
595
00:35:07,555 --> 00:35:08,455
While you're at it, get me one, too.
596
00:35:27,963 --> 00:35:28,963
Where's the profsor?
597
00:35:30,564 --> 00:35:33,166
Whoa. Calm down, I was just cleaning it.
598
00:35:34,066 --> 00:35:35,566
I
- I don't, I don't know where he, he just...
599
00:35:36,267 --> 00:35:37,267
he went to get me a beer.
600
00:35:37,668 --> 00:35:38,568
Let's get back to work.
601
00:35:46,572 --> 00:35:47,271
Execute, exec...
602
00:35:50,173 --> 00:36:06,880
FBI! Warrant! Got an open door! You got my
thumb?! Clear! FBI! Get down! Door clear.
603
00:36:10,982 --> 00:36:12,183
Where's Ballard? Where's the girl?
604
00:36:12,483 --> 00:36:14,784
She's in the basement. I've got Atwood.
605
00:36:14,814 --> 00:36:15,715
The girl's in the basement.
606
00:36:33,864 --> 00:36:36,364
Hey, Emily, come here.
I'm here to take you home.
607
00:36:36,764 --> 00:36:37,264
No you're not.
608
00:36:38,964 --> 00:36:39,564
Back away.
609
00:36:40,165 --> 00:36:40,565
Put her down.
610
00:36:41,364 --> 00:36:41,965
Back up!
611
00:36:42,664 --> 00:36:43,564
Just put the gun down.
612
00:36:44,064 --> 00:36:45,665
Don't even think about
it. Put your weapons down.
613
00:36:46,065 --> 00:36:46,764
It's not going to happen.
614
00:36:50,866 --> 00:36:51,766
I have a shot. I can take him.
615
00:36:59,367 --> 00:37:01,466
I'm telling you right now, it's not going
to happen.Put her down, or you're dead.
616
00:37:13,668 --> 00:37:18,268
Come here, sweetie.Come on, sweetie.
There you go. I got you.I gotcha.
617
00:37:24,569 --> 00:37:26,269
Hey, look who I got.
We're taking her home.
618
00:37:26,369 --> 00:37:27,169
Hey.
619
00:37:33,370 --> 00:37:34,370
I remember you...
620
00:37:35,070 --> 00:37:36,170
I was kind of hoping you would.
621
00:37:39,370 --> 00:37:39,870
Get him out of here.
622
00:37:54,072 --> 00:38:02,985
Baby!Emily! Mommy!
Daddy!Hi, honey. Oh.Hi!
623
00:38:02,985 --> 00:38:03,788
Thank you so much.
624
00:38:04,289 --> 00:38:05,092
Oh, thank you.
625
00:38:05,192 --> 00:38:09,607
Come here.Give me a hug.
626
00:38:11,112 --> 00:38:12,216
Did they hurt you?
627
00:38:18,336 --> 00:38:20,845
How is it I always end
up loading the dishwasher?
628
00:38:22,350 --> 00:38:24,055
You were the one that
wanted to flip a coin.
629
00:38:24,657 --> 00:38:26,163
I know, but I lost the last five times.
630
00:38:26,865 --> 00:38:28,269
And what's the odds of that happening?
631
00:38:28,570 --> 00:38:29,875
Never mind. Don't tell me.
632
00:38:33,487 --> 00:38:34,791
You know, I did get
an offer on the house.
633
00:38:36,296 --> 00:38:37,400
Actually, it was a great offer.
634
00:38:38,303 --> 00:38:38,905
Oh, yeah?
635
00:38:39,407 --> 00:38:39,808
Yeah.
636
00:38:41,112 --> 00:38:44,323
The buyer didn't even have to take out
a mortgage.He's, uh, paying reacash.
637
00:38:44,724 --> 00:38:45,226
That's great.
638
00:38:46,229 --> 00:38:47,735
Charlie, I'm accepting the offer.
639
00:38:48,437 --> 00:38:49,340
Glad to hear that.
640
00:38:50,945 --> 00:38:51,347
Really?
641
00:38:55,962 --> 00:38:58,771
You, uh... you're all right with this?
642
00:38:59,374 --> 00:39:00,177
Well, it's like you said.
643
00:39:00,778 --> 00:39:02,484
I need to find my own place. I agree.
644
00:39:03,286 --> 00:39:06,698
And being a tenured professor,I
have money, enough to buy a house
645
00:39:07,401 --> 00:39:08,002
that I like.
646
00:39:08,604 --> 00:39:10,410
Well, you know, today's market...
647
00:39:10,913 --> 00:39:12,417
I know you make a good salary, but...
648
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:15,026
And I also do a lot of
consulting,and not just for the FBI.
649
00:39:15,226 --> 00:39:17,635
Plus I've won all sorts of awards.
650
00:39:17,735 --> 00:39:19,641
And you never have to pay
any of it out for rent,
651
00:39:19,943 --> 00:39:21,647
or food or utilities.
652
00:39:23,053 --> 00:39:25,159
That is ue. Yeah.
653
00:39:28,471 --> 00:39:28,973
Dad?
654
00:39:30,377 --> 00:39:30,679
Yeah.
655
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:33,186
The offer's from me.
656
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:37,601
You're serious?
657
00:39:38,504 --> 00:39:41,113
I asked the real estate lady to
let me be the one to tell you.
658
00:39:45,428 --> 00:39:48,337
Charlie, this is crazy.
659
00:39:48,638 --> 00:39:51,348
What's crazy? It's a good investment.
660
00:39:51,949 --> 00:39:53,454
How else would you want
me to spend my money?
661
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:56,564
Yeah, I know, but I
just figured you'd, uh,
662
00:39:58,370 --> 00:39:59,273
get a place of your own.
663
00:40:00,076 --> 00:40:01,079
This is a place of my own.
664
00:40:02,585 --> 00:40:02,659
And you can stay here, too...
665
00:40:03,460 --> 00:40:03,761
if you want.
666
00:40:05,064 --> 00:40:08,572
Just like you said, you know,I never paid
any rent, so you wouldn't have to either.
667
00:40:09,374 --> 00:40:11,478
Yeah, all right, all right,
Charlie, you know, I get it.
668
00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:19,195
I just don't think you realize
what you're getting yourself into.
669
00:40:19,496 --> 00:40:22,403
How's that? I' lived here
pretty much my whole life.
670
00:40:22,904 --> 00:40:24,106
I think I'm used to it by now.
671
00:40:27,414 --> 00:40:29,919
Uh, that'll be the furnace
in your newly-acquired home.
