1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
( train chugging )
2
00:00:12,467 --> 00:00:15,234
( train whistle blowing )
3
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:16,701
( brakes screeching )
4
00:00:19,501 --> 00:00:21,501
( metal crunching )
5
00:00:23,601 --> 00:00:26,067
MAN: I handle the throttle
and the brakes.
6
00:00:26,133 --> 00:00:28,100
Jack watches the other systems.
7
00:00:31,067 --> 00:00:32,901
You drive a train with math.
8
00:00:32,968 --> 00:00:34,667
It's not like
driving a car.
9
00:00:34,734 --> 00:00:38,000
You can't just step on the gas
or hit the brakes.
10
00:00:39,467 --> 00:00:41,367
Got something up ahead.
11
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:42,500
Vehicle on the track.
12
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:44,560
( train horn honking )
13
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:46,130
( brakes screeching )
14
00:00:47,801 --> 00:00:49,467
( siren whooping )
15
00:00:54,901 --> 00:00:56,367
DON:
What was the kid doing there?
16
00:00:56,434 --> 00:00:59,334
Homework assignment
on Dad's job.
17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,567
Day you take your kid to work,
you get in a wreck.
18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,601
( train horn honking )
Dad, what's going on?
19
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:08,100
Jim, stay down
Grab on to something.
20
00:01:08,167 --> 00:01:09,701
Emergencbrakes!
21
00:01:09,767 --> 00:01:10,734
( brakes screeching )
Damn it!
22
00:01:10,801 --> 00:01:12,267
The sander valve
must be plugged.
23
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:14,934
What does the sander do?
24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,300
Well, it sprays sand on the
track to increase traction.
25
00:01:17,367 --> 00:01:19,200
That wouldn't have
stopped them in time.
26
00:01:19,267 --> 00:01:20,801
A train at that speed
has the kinetic energy
27
00:01:20,868 --> 00:01:21,801
of a small atomic weapon.
28
00:01:21,868 --> 00:01:23,033
Then why release the valve?
29
00:01:28,501 --> 00:01:30,701
He was thinking about the kids.
30
00:01:30,767 --> 00:01:32,634
Take over the controls. I'm
gonna open the valve by hand.
31
00:01:32,701 --> 00:01:33,801
But we're still gonna crash.
32
00:01:33,868 --> 00:01:36,067
The only chance those kids have.
33
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:37,400
Brace your feet
against the wall.
34
00:01:37,467 --> 00:01:39,567
( kisses )
I'll be right back.
35
00:01:41,934 --> 00:01:43,601
( bell clanging )
36
00:01:43,667 --> 00:01:44,300
Hang on, Jimbo.
37
00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:45,334
Dad!
38
00:01:50,434 --> 00:01:53,000
( siren wails in distance )
39
00:02:01,334 --> 00:02:04,968
Jim, I'm very sorry
about your father.
40
00:02:05,033 --> 00:02:06,067
( sniffles )
41
00:02:06,133 --> 00:02:09,701
( weeping )
42
00:02:18,834 --> 00:02:20,067
who weren't even there?
43
00:02:23,167 --> 00:02:24,567
( kisses )
44
00:02:24,634 --> 00:02:28,534
Who leaves an empty school bus
on the railroad tracks?
45
00:02:28,601 --> 00:02:30,601
MAN:
Six wrecks in three years?
46
00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:32,834
All copies
of previous accidents.
47
00:02:32,901 --> 00:02:36,100
This one is based on a crash
in Utah, where seven kids died.
48
00:02:36,167 --> 00:02:38,601
He always leaves
one of these.
49
00:02:38,667 --> 00:02:40,100
All the notes
are the same.
50
00:02:40,167 --> 00:02:41,367
Just a series of numbers.
51
00:02:41,434 --> 00:02:43,400
Looks like a code.
( phone rings )
52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,334
This is Eppes.
53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,734
Okay. Put ithrough.
54
00:02:47,801 --> 00:02:49,467
This is Agent Eppes.
55
00:02:49,534 --> 00:02:51,133
MAN:
I want to speak to
56
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,968
the agent in charge
of the train accident.
57
00:02:53,033 --> 00:02:55,000
You got him. Who's this?
58
00:02:55,067 --> 00:02:56,467
Do youave my note?
59
00:02:56,534 --> 00:02:59,033
Save yourself time and effort.
60
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:01,133
Everything you need is
in that note.
61
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,434
( call disconnects )
62
00:03:02,501 --> 00:03:04,434
Hung up?
63
00:03:04,501 --> 00:03:05,901
Male or female?
64
00:03:05,968 --> 00:03:07,734
Male.
65
00:03:09,334 --> 00:03:10,767
What have you
got from these?
66
00:03:10,834 --> 00:03:13,033
Well, our cryptographers
have gone over it.
67
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:14,033
If that is a code,
68
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,234
it's unbreakable.
69
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,901
Wouldn't count on it.
70
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:22,868
( train chugging )
71
00:03:25,734 --> 00:03:26,968
CHARLIE:
We all use math everyday.
72
00:03:27,033 --> 00:03:30,968
To forecast weather.
73
00:03:31,033 --> 00:03:32,467
To tell time.
74
00:03:32,534 --> 00:03:35,100
To handle money.
75
00:03:35,167 --> 00:03:38,667
Math is more than formulas
and equations...
76
00:03:38,734 --> 00:03:43,033
It's logic...
It's rationality...
77
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:46,468
It's using your mind to solve the
biggest mysteries we know.
78
00:03:57,100 --> 00:03:58,067
Our saboteur has
staged six attacks,
79
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:01,967
all recreations
of previous accidents.
80
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:04,434
This is a photo of the original
accident in New Jersey,
81
00:04:04,501 --> 00:04:05,801
caused by signal malfunction.
82
00:04:05,868 --> 00:04:07,933
He re-created it...
83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,434
right outside Fresno.
84
00:04:09,501 --> 00:04:11,267
This is the famous accident
85
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:12,933
at the Cabot Bayou.
86
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,167
Now, a barge hit the bridge,
87
00:04:14,234 --> 00:04:15,601
knocking tracks
out of alignment,
88
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:18,033
and the warning system
failed to alert the train.
89
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:20,801
Now, our saboteur,
he jimmies
90
00:04:20,868 --> 00:04:22,200
this track here in Seattle.
91
00:04:22,267 --> 00:04:25,933
Shorted out the warning system.
Eight people died.
92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,334
Every accident he's copied
93
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:28,834
is based on incidents that
include railroad negligence?
94
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:30,267
That's right. DON: So someone
95
00:04:30,334 --> 00:04:31,434
has a problem
with the rail system.
96
00:04:31,501 --> 00:04:32,434
You're thinking
97
00:04:32,501 --> 00:04:33,534
a disgruntled railroad employee?
98
00:04:33,601 --> 00:04:35,401
T ERRY:
Or a victim of a train wreck.
99
00:04:35,467 --> 00:04:36,701
I mean, whatever the motivation,
100
00:04:36,768 --> 00:04:37,768
I- I'm saying we're dealing
101
00:04:37,834 --> 00:04:39,067
with terrorism here.
102
00:04:39,134 --> 00:04:40,334
What do you make
of these, Terry?
103
00:04:40,401 --> 00:04:42,367
Every note he's left
is identical,
104
00:04:42,434 --> 00:04:44,234
which is a signature of sorts,
105
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:46,134
his way of taking credit.
Now he's added phone calls,
106
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,267
which means his need to explain
his actions is growing.
107
00:04:50,334 --> 00:04:51,534
So, what's he trying to tell us?
108
00:04:51,601 --> 00:04:53,067
( knocking )
Hey.
109
00:04:53,134 --> 00:04:54,801
Oh, good.
110
00:04:54,868 --> 00:04:56,033
Charlie, uh...
111
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,000
This is my brother,
he's, uh,
112
00:04:57,067 --> 00:04:58,300
a consultant with the bureau
113
00:04:58,367 --> 00:05:00,801
This is Inspector Sutter,
with the NTSB,
114
00:05:00,868 --> 00:05:02,100
the National Transportation
Safety Board.
115
00:05:02,167 --> 00:05:03,868
This is, uh, Amita.
116
00:05:03,933 --> 00:05:05,000
Hi.
117
00:05:05,067 --> 00:05:06,234
You're a consultant as well?
118
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:07,601
Uh, no. Charlie's
my thesis advisor,
119
00:05:07,667 --> 00:05:09,300
so sometimes I work
with him on school
120
00:05:09,367 --> 00:05:10,401
and consulting cases.
121
00:05:10,467 --> 00:05:11,300
Hey, can I take
a look at the code?
122
00:05:11,367 --> 00:05:12,467
Yeah.
123
00:05:12,534 --> 00:05:14,367
Why don't you
grab a seat here.
124
00:05:16,033 --> 00:05:17,868
So, uh, how long have
you studied cryptography?
125
00:05:17,933 --> 00:05:18,868
I haven't, really.
126
00:05:18,933 --> 00:05:20,634
I work in a applied mathematics.
127
00:05:20,701 --> 00:05:23,200
DON: Wha-What we're dealing with here
128
00:05:23,267 --> 00:05:25,300
is a saboteur who staged
a series of train wrecks
129
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:26,701
that have two things in common.
130
00:05:26,768 --> 00:05:29,801
One: He leaves the same
note at every scene.
131
00:05:29,868 --> 00:05:31,534
Two: He's re-creating
accidents that are
132
00:05:31,601 --> 00:05:33,134
supposedly based
on railroad negligence.
133
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,701
So you... Wait.
134
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:37,167
You're saying that it's exactly
the same note every time?
135
00:05:37,234 --> 00:05:38,367
That's right.
136
00:05:38,434 --> 00:05:40,234
And he says everything
that we need to know
137
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:41,367
is in the notes.
138
00:05:44,868 --> 00:05:46,434
( train engine roaring )
139
00:05:46,501 --> 00:05:47,933
Well...
140
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,033
Just by looking at it,
I can tell you that this note
141
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:51,634
begins and ends
with a prime number.
142
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:53,700
Um...
143
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,830
This row and this column
equal identical sums.
144
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:59,460
This grouping of four
down here is the same
145
00:05:59,534 --> 00:06:02,334
as the grouping of four up here,
only backwards.
146
00:06:02,401 --> 00:06:03,933
And, uh...
147
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,334
the only number repeated
148
00:06:05,401 --> 00:06:06,933
is 36,
149
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,634
Yes, 36,
150
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:08,734
one, two...
151
00:06:08,801 --> 00:06:10,534
It reoccurs three times.
152
00:06:10,601 --> 00:06:12,167
That's amazing.
153
00:06:12,234 --> 00:06:13,634
Well, what would be amazing is
154
00:06:13,701 --> 00:06:15,100
if I could tell you
why they're arranged that way.
155
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:16,200
Wait a minute.
156
00:06:16,267 --> 00:06:18,234
Charlie, as in Charles Eppes?
157
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:19,567
Yeah.
158
00:06:19,634 --> 00:06:21,367
I studied electrical engineering
at M.I.T.
159
00:06:21,434 --> 00:06:22,501
Oh.
Your paper on
160
00:06:22,567 --> 00:06:24,401
H- infinity control
of nonlinear systems
161
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:26,367
blew my mind.
162
00:06:26,434 --> 00:06:28,100
I- It changed my whole
views on control theory.
163
00:06:28,167 --> 00:06:29,667
Well, yeah, that was
a fun project, sure.
164
00:06:29,734 --> 00:06:31,100
This is a real honor, you know?
165
00:06:31,167 --> 00:06:33,267
It took us four weeks
to even pick up
166
00:06:33,334 --> 00:06:34,567
the 36 repetition,
167
00:06:34,634 --> 00:06:36,801
but we think it's...
it's something important
168
00:06:36,868 --> 00:06:38,234
to the saboteur.
169
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:39,601
Maybe 36 relates to the key?
170
00:06:39,667 --> 00:06:40,768
DAVID:
The key?
171
00:06:40,834 --> 00:06:41,900
Yeah, the key is, um,
172
00:06:41,967 --> 00:06:43,467
anything that will
unlock the code.
173
00:06:43,534 --> 00:06:44,933
Right, and it could be anything:
174
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,367
a sentence, a word, a book.
175
00:06:47,434 --> 00:06:49,667
In fact a famous example
is in, uh, 1820.
176
00:06:49,734 --> 00:06:51,900
A man from Virginia
named Thomas Beale
177
00:06:51,967 --> 00:06:54,467
claimed to have hidden
$25 million in gold.
178
00:06:54,534 --> 00:06:55,701
The location of the treasure
179
00:06:55,768 --> 00:06:57,167
was hidden within
a coded message
180
00:06:57,267 --> 00:06:59,401
that really just looked like
a string of numbers.
181
00:06:59,467 --> 00:07:01,967
Now, he created that code
by using a key.
182
00:07:02,033 --> 00:07:05,501
And that key was the
Declaration of Independence.
183
00:07:05,567 --> 00:07:08,534
Three referred to the first
letter of the third word,
184
00:07:08,601 --> 00:07:10,667
Six to the first letter
of the sixth word,
185
00:07:10,734 --> 00:07:12,734
and so on.
186
00:07:12,801 --> 00:07:15,601
TERRY: So we need the
key to crack the code?
187
00:07:15,667 --> 00:07:18,434
Finding the key is one way
to attack the code,
188
00:07:18,501 --> 00:07:19,967
but there's actually
189
00:07:20,033 --> 00:07:21,933
a whole spectrum of mathematical
tools I can utilize.
190
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,434
( phone rings )
191
00:07:23,501 --> 00:07:26,167
First, I can do a statistical
analysis of the numbers,
192
00:07:26,234 --> 00:07:29,467
then I can also work the cipher
text by using a Kasiski exam.
193
00:07:29,534 --> 00:07:30,967
Oh. Wouldn't Kasiski
be problematic
194
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:32,334
due to the lack of spaces?
195
00:07:32,401 --> 00:07:34,234
Not if you consider multiple
grouping possibilities.
196
00:07:35,234 --> 00:07:36,601
A trainspotter's come forward.
197
00:07:36,667 --> 00:07:37,933
Claims to have video footage
of the crash.
198
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,667
All right, well, let's get ahold
of that tape.
199
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:42,667
( train whistle blowing )
200
00:07:42,734 --> 00:07:44,200
DAVID: As a trainspter,
you videotape trains
201
00:07:44,267 --> 00:07:45,234
on a recreational basis?
202
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:46,601
Yes,
203
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:48,367
at that crossing, four
or five times a week.
204
00:07:48,434 --> 00:07:50,701
Catching those beauties
coming around the bend
205
00:07:50,768 --> 00:07:52,000
makes a man feel alive.
206
00:07:53,501 --> 00:07:55,134
Maybe you wanted
to get some footage
207
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,967
that was even more exciting.
208
00:07:57,033 --> 00:07:59,601
You think I had something
to do with the derailment?
209
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:00,667
No.
210
00:08:00,734 --> 00:08:02,701
I live to see trains
211
00:08:02,768 --> 00:08:04,667
running on the rails,
not off 'em.
212
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:05,933
But I can't deny,
213
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,467
catching an accident
like that on tape
214
00:08:08,534 --> 00:08:10,033
is pretty incredible.
215
00:08:11,768 --> 00:08:15,434
I could kill those guys
for running through my st.
216
00:08:15,501 --> 00:08:16,933
What guys?
217
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,501
Go ahead. Keep going.
218
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:22,834
All right, stop.
219
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:25,067
Right... Hold, stop there.
220
00:08:25,134 --> 00:08:26,967
DAVID: Good Samaritan trying to help?
221
00:08:27,033 --> 00:08:28,467
Yeah, stealing cargo?
222
00:08:28,534 --> 00:08:29,734
I don't think so.
223
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:30,967
Wind it back to where
224
00:08:31,033 --> 00:08:33,167
that first guy jumps
out ofhe van.
225
00:08:36,267 --> 00:08:38,567
Ho-hho-hold, stop.
226
00:08:38,634 --> 00:08:39,768
To me, it looks like
227
00:08:39,834 --> 00:08:41,167
an acetylene torch,
228
00:08:41,234 --> 00:08:42,900
so we know they came
to cut into those cars.
229
00:08:42,967 --> 00:08:45,300
Yeah, they had to know
about the wreck in advance.
230
00:08:45,367 --> 00:08:47,134
Now push forward
to the license plate.
231
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,701
Push forward where
they drive off.
232
00:08:53,134 --> 00:08:54,100
Okay, hold.
233
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:55,200
Just zoom in on that.
234
00:08:56,267 --> 00:08:58,367
Got it. Trace that.
235
00:08:59,667 --> 00:09:01,334
So we got his identity
off the license.
236
00:09:01,401 --> 00:09:02,501
This is Ma McDonald.
237
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:04,267
His van was used
in a pre-planned robbery
238
00:09:04,334 --> 00:09:05,334
of today's train wreck.
239
00:09:05,401 --> 00:09:06,701
We're gonna
set a perimete
240
00:09:06,768 --> 00:09:08,033
around his house.
If he's home,
241
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:09,234
we'll try
to lure him out.
242
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:10,567
Nobody moves
unless I say.
243
00:09:10,634 --> 00:09:13,033
Has David got anything
on that threat call?
244
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:14,234
They traced it
to a phone booth.
245
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:15,401
They're checking
for fingerprints.
246
00:09:20,701 --> 00:09:22,100
Professor Fleinhardt!
247
00:09:23,967 --> 00:09:25,334
What are you doing?
248
00:09:25,401 --> 00:09:27,933
I just... Nothing in particular.
249
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,501
I just wanted to see
what you're up to in here and...
250
00:09:32,234 --> 00:09:34,367
Some kind of number theory
conundrum?
251
00:09:34,434 --> 00:09:36,067
Perhaps I could offer
some insights.
252
00:09:36,134 --> 00:09:37,801
Well, first,
it's not number theory.
253
00:09:37,868 --> 00:09:39,634
It's a code.
254
00:09:39,701 --> 00:09:41,134
And second,
255
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,200
you hate
number theory,
256
00:09:42,267 --> 00:09:43,467
so tell us
why you're here
257
00:09:43,534 --> 00:09:44,768
and what's really going on.
258
00:09:47,534 --> 00:09:51,467
I'm avoiding...
259
00:09:51,534 --> 00:09:53,300
Laura Ison.
260
00:09:53,367 --> 00:09:55,067
The professor of Philosophy
of Science?
261
00:09:55,134 --> 00:09:56,467
She's the lady
you go hiking with?
262
00:09:56,534 --> 00:09:57,667
For years
we've enjoyed
263
00:09:57,734 --> 00:10:00,300
this... well, um, delightful
264
00:10:00,367 --> 00:10:03,067
wilderness-based friendship...
265
00:10:03,134 --> 00:10:04,601
entirely platonic...
266
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:09,334
but last night,
she and I just veered...
267
00:10:09,401 --> 00:10:12,334
we veered off into
the... the carnal.
268
00:10:15,567 --> 00:10:18,100
I'm taking it didn't go well.
269
00:10:18,167 --> 00:10:20,900
Actually, it was incredible.
270
00:10:20,967 --> 00:10:22,167
It was primal.
271
00:10:22,234 --> 00:10:23,967
I mean that
in the animal,
272
00:10:24,033 --> 00:10:26,667
not the numerical sense.
273
00:10:26,734 --> 00:10:28,234
But what I was saying,
274
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,768
this was a perfect event.
275
00:10:30,801 --> 00:10:32,467
And as such, untwinable.
276
00:10:32,534 --> 00:10:34,167
So, because the sex was great,
277
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:36,100
the odds are against it
ever being great again.
278
00:10:36,167 --> 00:10:39,601
The replication
defies the laws of probability.
279
00:10:39,667 --> 00:10:40,768
So why try?
280
00:10:40,834 --> 00:10:41,768
Yes, yes.
281
00:10:41,834 --> 00:10:43,200
Well, that's why I'm here.
282
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:45,033
I mean, it's the perfect refuge.
283
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,701
What do you mean,
"the perfect refuge"?
284
00:10:46,768 --> 00:10:48,933
Well, the Math Department...
285
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,300
must be the least libidinous
place on campus.
286
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,701
It's definitely the same van
used in the robbery.
287
00:11:21,868 --> 00:11:24,534
( blipping )
288
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:27,567
I've got one heat signature
emanating from the dining room.
289
00:11:27,634 --> 00:11:29,033
All right,
surveillance indicates
290
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:30,200
our guy Matt McDonald
is alone in the house.
291
00:11:30,267 --> 00:11:32,334
Look, he's our only lead.
292
00:11:32,401 --> 00:11:33,834
I want to avoid
a confrontation,
293
00:11:33,933 --> 00:11:36,067
so what would you think
about going in,
294
00:11:36,134 --> 00:11:37,634
trying
to lure him out?
295
00:11:37,701 --> 00:11:39,300
Yeah, I could ring his doorbell,
say I'm having car trouble.
296
00:11:39,367 --> 00:11:41,567
Good. Let's set up
a perimeter around the house.
297
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:43,067
Think McDonald's
our saboteur?
298
00:11:43,134 --> 00:11:44,267
Well, he's connected.
299
00:11:44,334 --> 00:11:45,768
We just got to get him
to tell us how.
300
00:11:45,834 --> 00:11:47,367
( buzzes )
301
00:11:48,367 --> 00:11:49,367
( buzzes )
302
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,967
Come on. Answer the door.
303
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
( buzzes )
304
00:12:00,334 --> 00:12:01,701
What's he doing?
305
00:12:04,701 --> 00:12:06,067
Wait a minute. What's wrong?
306
00:12:06,134 --> 00:12:07,701
Why's the temperature dropping?
307
00:12:07,768 --> 00:12:08,768
I just had it
recalibrated.
308
00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:11,000
All right, I'm going to go.
309
00:12:11,067 --> 00:12:12,134
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
310
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,334
All units go.
311
00:12:18,334 --> 00:12:20,567
( yelling ):
Let's go!
312
00:12:23,567 --> 00:12:25,367
FBI! Get your hands up!
313
00:12:25,434 --> 00:12:27,300
I got an unresponsive male.
314
00:12:27,367 --> 00:12:30,200
I need four. Move!
315
00:12:39,868 --> 00:12:41,467
Dead.
316
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,466
DON:
No sign of forced entry.
317
00:13:00,533 --> 00:13:01,800
Stippling on the forehead
318
00:13:01,867 --> 00:13:03,600
so it looks like
he was shot at close range.
319
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:05,633
The shooter was sitting
across from him.
320
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,034
Met him at the door,
grabbed a cup of coffee,
321
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:09,134
sat down at the table.
322
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,334
DON:
Two cups of coffee.
323
00:13:10,401 --> 00:13:12,234
So, I'd say
they knew each other.
324
00:13:12,301 --> 00:13:14,633
David, uh, make sure
any prints or fibers
325
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:16,667
that we get
are processed priority.
326
00:13:16,733 --> 00:13:18,167
Got it.
327
00:13:18,234 --> 00:13:20,833
TERRY: Looks like an
electronics store in here.
328
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:22,067
DON:
mean, no way
329
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:23,967
he stole all this
off today's wreck.
330
00:13:24,034 --> 00:13:26,000
HARRILL: We checked the cargo manifests
331
00:13:26,067 --> 00:13:27,367
from the previous attacks.
332
00:13:27,433 --> 00:13:29,566
The computers came
from the Fresno accident,
333
00:13:29,633 --> 00:13:31,700
plasma TVs from the crash
in Seattle.
334
00:13:31,767 --> 00:13:33,566
How many of the wrecks
did he hit?
335
00:13:33,633 --> 00:13:35,234
Four out of the six.
336
00:13:35,301 --> 00:13:37,967
The corrupt railroad cop
who was staging train wrecks
337
00:13:38,034 --> 00:13:39,334
just to rip off the cargo?
338
00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:40,600
Seems like a stretch
to me.
339
00:13:40,667 --> 00:13:42,000
I agree.
340
00:13:42,067 --> 00:13:43,533
I mean, obviously,
he knew about it in advance,
341
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,267
but I just, I don't make him
for our guy.
342
00:13:45,334 --> 00:13:46,466
No, it doesn't make sense.
343
00:13:46,533 --> 00:13:48,234
It doesn't fit
with the re-creation
344
00:13:48,301 --> 00:13:49,833
( phone ringing ) of
accidents or the coded messages.
345
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:51,000
Eppes.
346
00:13:51,067 --> 00:13:52,234
MAN:
Well done, finding your way
347
00:13:52,301 --> 00:13:53,234
to MacDonald's house.
348
00:13:53,301 --> 00:13:55,000
Too bad I beat you to the punch.
349
00:13:55,067 --> 00:13:57,100
TERRY:
Sweep the neighborhood.
350
00:13:57,167 --> 00:13:58,267
He may be watching
the house.
351
00:13:58,334 --> 00:14:00,401
I don't understand;
why'd you kill him?
352
00:14:00,466 --> 00:14:01,667
Wasn't he your partner?
353
00:14:01,733 --> 00:14:03,334
No. MacDonald was a thief
and a dirty cop.
354
00:14:03,401 --> 00:14:05,401
He used me to make some money.
355
00:14:05,466 --> 00:14:08,000
He didn't understand
what I was doing...
356
00:14:08,067 --> 00:14:09,034
the importance
357
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:10,134
of exposing the railroads
358
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,367
for the criminals they are.
359
00:14:11,433 --> 00:14:13,600
There are other ways, you know?
360
00:14:13,667 --> 00:14:14,800
( call disconnects )
361
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:17,034
Hello?
362
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:18,267
He just hung up.
363
00:14:18,334 --> 00:14:20,733
He implied he killed MacDonald.
364
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,034
He's escalated
to hands-on violence.
365
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:23,301
Right. So, that'll make it seem
366
00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:24,700
like he's gearing up
for something big.
367
00:14:24,767 --> 00:14:26,067
We got to find out
how he
368
00:14:26,134 --> 00:14:27,200
and MacDonald knew each other.
369
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:28,367
We got to get into his files.
370
00:14:28,433 --> 00:14:29,667
Has anyone
come across his files?
371
00:14:32,533 --> 00:14:34,100
Hello, Mr. Eppes.
Oh, hi.
372
00:14:34,167 --> 00:14:35,100
Nice to see you.
373
00:14:35,167 --> 00:14:36,500
Nice to see you again.
374
00:14:42,833 --> 00:14:44,200
ALAN:
Is that, uh, Amita
375
00:14:44,267 --> 00:14:46,134
sitting out in the car
out front?
376
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,334
Yeah. We just stopped by
for a minute so I could check
377
00:14:49,401 --> 00:14:52,566
this text on encryption,
code-breaking...
378
00:14:52,633 --> 00:14:55,767
Uh, and you left her waiting
in the car?
379
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:03,000
No, no, this is not the way
we treat people, Charlie.
380
00:15:03,067 --> 00:15:04,967
You bring her inside,
you at least offer her
381
00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:06,067
something to drink.
382
00:15:06,134 --> 00:15:07,167
You know, like an adult.
383
00:15:07,234 --> 00:15:09,566
We just stopped by for a second.
384
00:15:09,633 --> 00:15:11,334
You came in 15 minutes ago,
Charlie.
385
00:15:11,401 --> 00:15:14,234
Meanwhile,
she's just sitting
386
00:15:14,301 --> 00:15:15,566
in that car out there.
387
00:15:15,633 --> 00:15:17,234
Well, I just got caught
up in something.
388
00:15:17,301 --> 00:15:18,267
Yeah, I know, I know.
389
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:19,800
I don't see at
the big deal is.
390
00:15:19,867 --> 00:15:21,633
That's exactly
what I'm talking about.
391
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:22,733
What?
392
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,200
She likes you,
393
00:15:24,267 --> 00:15:26,267
you know?
394
00:15:27,867 --> 00:15:29,500
Aren't you ever going
to do something
395
00:15:29,566 --> 00:15:31,301
about that?
396
00:15:34,566 --> 00:15:37,200
( sighing )
397
00:15:40,667 --> 00:15:42,267
CHARLIE:
Remember we need to know
398
00:15:42,334 --> 00:15:45,067
more about trains to find
the key to the saboteur's code.
399
00:15:45,134 --> 00:15:47,167
AMITA: So, you're familiar
with these accidents?
400
00:15:47,234 --> 00:15:49,633
Huh. The greatest hits
of train tragedies?
401
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:51,034
Of course.
402
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,134
What is this, some sort
of a research project?
403
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,200
You could say that.
404
00:15:54,267 --> 00:15:55,733
What would be
a big help
405
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,267
is if you could identify
any significant words or phrases
406
00:15:58,334 --> 00:15:59,867
associated
with these accidents.
407
00:15:59,934 --> 00:16:01,167
Wait, words or phrases?
408
00:16:01,234 --> 00:16:03,134
Anything spefic
to the accident.
409
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,900
The track location,
the cause,
410
00:16:04,967 --> 00:16:06,466
the people involved.
411
00:16:06,533 --> 00:16:08,134
Yeah, I guess I could do that.
412
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,500
You know, you are missing
a major accident here...
413
00:16:11,566 --> 00:16:12,700
Cajon Pass, 2001.
414
00:16:12,767 --> 00:16:14,500
Train full
of hazardous chemicals
415
00:16:14,566 --> 00:16:16,533
derailed into a whole row
of houses.
416
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,200
About 30 people died.
417
00:16:18,267 --> 00:16:19,667
Sounds like a bad one.
418
00:16:19,733 --> 00:16:21,700
Yeah. Well, you know, uh,
419
00:16:21,767 --> 00:16:25,000
accidents are kind of just a
small part of railroad history.
420
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:27,200
Maybe you'd like to learn more
over dinner?
421
00:16:28,167 --> 00:16:30,767
Oh, uh, sorry, we'll be
422
00:16:30,833 --> 00:16:33,000
working tonight.
423
00:16:38,633 --> 00:16:40,200
You guys got
MacDonald's case files?
424
00:16:40,267 --> 00:16:42,167
Yeah. Apparently,
he was working undercover
425
00:16:42,234 --> 00:16:45,134
with a group called the FTRA...
Freight Train Riders of America.
426
00:16:46,433 --> 00:16:48,067
Yeah, I read about them.
427
00:16:48,134 --> 00:16:50,000
They're like the Hell's Angels
of the rails, or something.
428
00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:51,334
According to his notes,
the FTRA
429
00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:53,067
are into everything...
drugs, rape, murder.
430
00:16:53,134 --> 00:16:55,067
TERRY: And they live
completely off the grid.
431
00:16:55,134 --> 00:16:56,700
Commit a crime,
hop a train, vanish.
432
00:16:56,767 --> 00:16:58,267
So, it sounds like
a perfect place
433
00:16:58,334 --> 00:17:00,267
for our guy to disappear
into. Yeah, it could be
434
00:17:00,334 --> 00:17:02,034
where MacDonald met him
when he was undercover.
435
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:03,034
Possible.
436
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,167
Or maybe it'll be in these.
437
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,367
This is interesting.
438
00:17:10,433 --> 00:17:11,466
Bob Malone,
439
00:17:11,533 --> 00:17:13,067
aka Horizontal Bob.
440
00:17:13,134 --> 00:17:16,100
Suspect in the derailment of
the Sunset Limited in Arizona.
441
00:17:16,167 --> 00:17:17,500
That's worth checking out.
442
00:17:17,566 --> 00:17:18,566
Let me see that.
443
00:17:18,633 --> 00:17:19,733
Says here he holes up
444
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,733
in an Antelope Valley
freight warehouse.
445
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,433
The first call
from our saboteur,
446
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:26,334
that came from a pay phone
in Antelope Valley, right?
447
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:30,466
Well, let's hit that warehouse.
448
00:17:30,533 --> 00:17:31,667
FBI!
449
00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:32,800
Nobody Move! FBI!
450
00:17:32,867 --> 00:17:33,800
FBI! Don't move!
You, get down!
451
00:17:33,867 --> 00:17:35,134
( yelling )
452
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,234
Get down!
453
00:17:36,301 --> 00:17:37,466
Get your hands up!
454
00:17:37,533 --> 00:17:39,566
You! Get down! You!
( yelling )
455
00:17:39,633 --> 00:17:41,334
FBI! Don't move!
456
00:17:41,401 --> 00:17:42,934
Get your hands up
where I can see them!
457
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,167
Get them up where I can
see them right now!
458
00:17:45,234 --> 00:17:46,667
FBI!
t away from the box!
459
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:48,000
Get away from the box now!
460
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:48,967
FBI!
461
00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:49,967
Get 'em up!
462
00:17:50,034 --> 00:17:51,034
( screaming )
463
00:17:51,867 --> 00:17:53,167
Are you crazy?!
464
00:17:53,234 --> 00:17:54,301
FBI!
465
00:17:54,367 --> 00:17:55,667
TERRY:
Move back!
466
00:17:55,733 --> 00:17:57,566
Move back!
Move back!
467
00:17:57,633 --> 00:17:59,600
Okay. Don't move.
468
00:17:59,667 --> 00:18:01,000
You're not
moving, okay?
469
00:18:01,067 --> 00:18:04,767
Does anybody know where
Horizontal Bob is?!
470
00:18:04,833 --> 00:18:06,267
Gee, I just think
you missed him.
471
00:18:06,334 --> 00:18:07,800
How about you help us out
472
00:18:07,867 --> 00:18:10,100
and we don't bust you for
attacking a federal officer?
473
00:18:10,167 --> 00:18:13,466
Yeah, dime out an FTRA brother
to some government tool?
474
00:18:13,533 --> 00:18:14,800
Yeah, right.
475
00:18:14,867 --> 00:18:15,967
See, that's a bad answer.
476
00:18:16,034 --> 00:18:17,334
Get over here.
477
00:18:17,401 --> 00:18:20,200
Nobody's seen
rizontal Bob here?
478
00:18:20,267 --> 00:18:21,934
Nobody knows who he is?
479
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:25,433
No sign of
Horizontal Bob.
480
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,934
None of these guys
are giving him up.
481
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,500
Only takes one.
482
00:18:33,433 --> 00:18:35,367
( clanging )
483
00:18:35,466 --> 00:18:36,466
( thud )
484
00:18:41,267 --> 00:18:44,533
CRKET: You got to understand
the rails are our homes,
485
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,067
our churches, our highways.
486
00:18:46,134 --> 00:18:49,034
The FTRA don't mess
with the trains.
487
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,000
So you don't think H-Bob
caused the wrecks?
488
00:18:52,067 --> 00:18:55,867
H- Bob, that's another story.
489
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:57,067
Guy's a nut job.
490
00:18:57,134 --> 00:18:59,200
He got no respect
for the trains.
491
00:18:59,267 --> 00:19:01,900
He shoved me off a flatcar,
wrecked my arm.
492
00:19:03,533 --> 00:19:06,566
Well, if I find him, he's not
going to be hurting you again.
493
00:19:11,401 --> 00:19:14,600
You check
the Sacramento rail yard.
494
00:19:14,667 --> 00:19:16,833
I hear he was up that way.
495
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:19,367
Let's call
the Sacramento office
496
00:19:19,433 --> 00:19:21,301
and get them stang out
that switchyard.
497
00:19:24,433 --> 00:19:27,433
Well, hopefuy the key is
somewhere in the materials
498
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,167
from the docent
in the train museum.
499
00:19:29,234 --> 00:19:30,334
Right next
to his phone number.
500
00:19:30,401 --> 00:19:32,967
( chuckles ):
Look at this.
501
00:19:33,034 --> 00:19:36,067
"If you everecide
to eat again, call me. "
502
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:38,034
The docent.
503
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:40,067
Yothink you...
you think you will?
504
00:19:40,134 --> 00:19:42,034
Eat? Yeah.
505
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:44,167
Call him? No.
506
00:19:44,234 --> 00:19:46,466
He is not my type.
507
00:19:46,533 --> 00:19:48,034
I'm sorry, but
does that ever work?
508
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:51,334
Just coming out
and being so... obvious?
509
00:19:51,401 --> 00:19:53,700
Well, if it's
the right guy, sure.
510
00:19:53,767 --> 00:19:55,833
Certainly beats
the alternive.
511
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,500
Hmm. What do you mea
512
00:19:58,566 --> 00:20:00,533
Having no idea
whether or not
513
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,466
a man is
interested in you.
514
00:20:02,533 --> 00:20:05,034
You really can't tell?
515
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:06,633
Generally, that
is how you tell.
516
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:08,533
u know, they make
a move. Otherwise...
517
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,733
Larry?
518
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,267
Are you all right?
519
00:20:13,533 --> 00:20:17,767
Laurel Wilson cornered me.
520
00:20:17,833 --> 00:20:19,767
So I explained to her.
521
00:20:19,833 --> 00:20:22,100
I said,
"Statistically speaking... "
522
00:20:22,167 --> 00:20:24,134
statistically speaking,
523
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,067
"... our encounter was unlikely
to be repeated. "
524
00:20:28,134 --> 00:20:31,533
So, she declared that
I had broken her heart.
525
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,100
You know, believe me, I never
intended to upset her.
526
00:20:36,167 --> 00:20:38,900
I know. You seem pretty upset yourself.
527
00:20:38,967 --> 00:20:40,000
Well, yeah.
528
00:20:40,067 --> 00:20:42,034
She's a dear friend.
529
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:49,100
She's witty and articulate
and... tremendous trail sense.
530
00:20:49,167 --> 00:20:50,167
I don't know.
531
00:20:50,267 --> 00:20:52,466
Combining friendship
and romance...
532
00:20:52,533 --> 00:20:54,367
exceedingly risky.
533
00:20:54,433 --> 00:20:58,533
The Cajon Pass accident
killed 37 people.
534
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,433
The number in
every note is 36.
535
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:01,667
Fairly close.
536
00:21:01,733 --> 00:21:04,000
How so?
37 is a prime.
537
00:21:04,067 --> 00:21:06,967
36 is a composite
with multiple factors.
538
00:21:07,034 --> 00:21:10,200
Right. What
was I thinking?
539
00:21:10,267 --> 00:21:11,466
Still...
540
00:21:11,533 --> 00:21:13,800
this Cajon accident
is unbelievable.
541
00:21:13,867 --> 00:21:19,533
5,237 tons of steel flying off
the track at 90 miles an hour.
542
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,167
Did you just say five,
two, three, seven?
543
00:21:22,234 --> 00:21:25,234
Yeah, 5,237 tons.
544
00:21:25,301 --> 00:21:27,401
How fast?
545
00:21:27,466 --> 00:21:29,067
About 90 miles an hour.
546
00:21:31,367 --> 00:21:32,900
Where did you get
this information?
547
00:21:32,967 --> 00:21:35,934
I downloaded
the NTSB report.
548
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,234
Read me some more.
549
00:21:37,301 --> 00:21:38,733
"While the NTSB encountered... "
550
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,167
No, the numbers.
551
00:21:40,234 --> 00:21:41,267
Just numbers.
552
00:21:41,334 --> 00:21:42,667
Locomotive number
553
00:21:42,733 --> 00:21:44,301
4-4-0-4.
554
00:21:46,034 --> 00:21:49,433
Train length: 3,218 feet.
555
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:53,533
The grade of pass: 4.2 percent.
556
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,500
Brake pipe pressure: 60 pounds.
557
00:21:58,566 --> 00:22:00,067
14 miles an hour,
558
00:22:00,134 --> 00:22:02,301
increasing five miles an hour
each minute.
559
00:22:02,367 --> 00:22:03,900
Despite application of brakes,
560
00:22:03,967 --> 00:22:06,533
train reaches speed
of 90 miles an hour.
561
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,401
Train derails at milepost 64.
562
00:22:09,466 --> 00:22:12,000
Time of the accident: 4:10 a. m.
563
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:17,867
Every single one of those
numbers appears in these notes.
564
00:22:17,934 --> 00:22:20,034
So the Cajon Pass derailment
is the key to the code?
565
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:21,466
The key is that
there is no key.
566
00:22:21,533 --> 00:22:24,533
The numbers don't represent
words... or letters.
567
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,566
They're numbers,
all from this accident.
568
00:22:26,633 --> 00:22:29,633
It's not a code.
569
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,301
It's a story told in numbers.
570
00:22:32,466 --> 00:22:34,566
Each time he creates
an accident,
571
00:22:34,633 --> 00:22:35,934
he leaves a note.
572
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,934
And each note
has the same numbers.
573
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,867
And those numbers
tell thetory
574
00:22:39,934 --> 00:22:42,967
of the Cajon Pass derailment.
575
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:47,433
Charlie, it happened
on March 12, 2001.
576
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,433
That accounts for
eight more digits
577
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:52,267
that appear
in these notes.
578
00:22:52,334 --> 00:22:53,767
The anniversary of the accident.
579
00:22:53,833 --> 00:22:56,100
Two days from now.
580
00:22:56,167 --> 00:22:58,767
( train whistle blowing )
581
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:12,667
CHARLIE: Every number in
these notes corresponds
582
00:23:12,734 --> 00:23:14,166
to the NTSB report
on the derailment.
583
00:23:14,233 --> 00:23:15,634
The length
of the train,
584
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:17,433
speed, number of cars...
It's all in the messages.
585
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,833
DON:
Any connection
586
00:23:18,899 --> 00:23:21,300
between H-Bob and the Cajon Pass
accident, Terry?
587
00:23:21,367 --> 00:23:22,300
I'll check.
588
00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:23,500
Anything from
Sacramento?
589
00:23:23,567 --> 00:23:25,433
They have agents all
over that switchyard.
590
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:27,333
There's no sign of him at all.
591
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,600
There are still a few
digits unaccounted for.
592
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:32,933
AMITA: These seven numbers,
the letter "B" and 36.
593
00:23:35,367 --> 00:23:37,533
What caused
the Cajon Pass accident?
594
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,567
I think the NTSB report
said that the engineer
595
00:23:39,634 --> 00:23:41,100
forgot to check
the end-of-train brake system.
596
00:23:41,166 --> 00:23:42,400
I'm sorry,
597
00:23:42,467 --> 00:23:44,333
I've just been over
the report... a lot.
598
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,734
I'm glad someone
reads our work.
599
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:49,133
Well, 37 people died...
that's close to the 36
600
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,567
in the notes.
No?
601
00:23:51,634 --> 00:23:53,267
Seven numbers
and a letter.
602
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:55,634
I n't see anything linking
H- Bob to the Cajon Pass.
603
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:57,634
DAVID: Maybe the link is indirect.
604
00:23:57,700 --> 00:24:00,899
Wait a minute.
605
00:24:00,966 --> 00:24:02,533
California Driver's license...
a letter
606
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,400
and seven
numbers.
607
00:24:03,467 --> 00:24:04,533
See if you can
608
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,166
generate a list
of licenses using
609
00:24:06,233 --> 00:24:07,433
all seven numbers
and then check it
610
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:08,467
against
the NTSB files.
611
00:24:08,533 --> 00:24:10,033
Right?
612
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:11,066
Right.
613
00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:14,799
The license belongs
to Frank Milton,
614
00:24:14,866 --> 00:24:16,600
the Cajon train engineer.
615
00:24:16,667 --> 00:24:18,500
He died in the crash.
616
00:24:18,567 --> 00:24:19,933
Milton was deemed responsible
for the accident.
617
00:24:21,267 --> 00:24:23,533
Why would the saboteur
leave a copy
618
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,600
of Frank Milton's driver's
license in his note?
619
00:24:25,667 --> 00:24:27,500
Why bring attention to Milto
620
00:24:27,567 --> 00:24:29,433
Well, look, he's the engineer
during the Cajon Pass accident.
621
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,066
e railroad blames him.
622
00:24:31,133 --> 00:24:33,467
If he thinks they're trying
to cover up their mistakes...
623
00:24:33,533 --> 00:24:35,333
He thinks Frank
Milton's a martyr.
624
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,433
Well, let's see
what the widow says.
625
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:40,833
My husband did not forget
626
00:24:40,899 --> 00:24:42,966
to turn on his
end-of-train brake.
627
00:24:44,866 --> 00:24:47,300
The railroad lied
to the NTSB.
628
00:24:47,367 --> 00:24:48,799
How can you be sure?
629
00:24:48,866 --> 00:24:51,933
He was the most meticulous
engineer on the line.
630
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,133
His crews used to call him
"Four-check Frank,"
631
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,966
'cause of the way he'd
go over the equipment.
632
00:24:58,033 --> 00:24:59,400
Well, so what do you think
happened to the brake?
633
00:24:59,467 --> 00:25:00,933
Damn thing
was always breaking down.
634
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,899
The railroad
635
00:25:02,966 --> 00:25:04,533
covered up the service records.
636
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,433
Oh, yeah?
Yes.
637
00:25:07,966 --> 00:25:10,233
Let me ask
you something.
638
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:11,567
You ever seen this man?
639
00:25:11,634 --> 00:25:13,333
Goes by the name
Horizontal Bob.
640
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,467
Never seen him
641
00:25:14,533 --> 00:25:15,667
in my life.
642
00:25:15,734 --> 00:25:17,066
Worst thing is,
643
00:25:17,133 --> 00:25:19,899
thoscorporate bastards
keep trying to buy me off.
644
00:25:19,966 --> 00:25:23,166
Every few months,
I get cash in the mail.
645
00:25:23,233 --> 00:25:25,400
Guilt money.
646
00:25:25,467 --> 00:25:27,899
Don.
647
00:25:27,966 --> 00:25:29,600
Yeah, can you excuse us, please?
648
00:25:31,567 --> 00:25:33,634
Frank Milton was meticulous
and detail-oriented
649
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,899
and wrongly accused of
causing a terrible tragedy.
650
00:25:35,966 --> 00:25:37,233
He's supposed to be dead.
651
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:38,533
Someone's sending
the widow money.
652
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,634
It's not the railroad.
653
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:40,700
Hmm-mm.
654
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,966
Is this your husband?
655
00:25:48,033 --> 00:25:49,033
Yes.
656
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:50,066
That's from
my wedding.
657
00:25:51,233 --> 00:25:53,634
DON:
So, Frank Milton didn't die
658
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:55,433
in the Cajon pass
accident.
659
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,467
He is alive. He didn't
want to be blamed.
660
00:25:57,533 --> 00:25:59,033
Instead of facing
accusations,
661
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:00,166
he drops out, right?
662
00:26:00,233 --> 00:26:01,734
He goes underground
with the FTRA.
663
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:03,533
So what about
Horizontal Bob?
664
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,033
Well, he fingers him
to throw us off, right?
665
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:07,899
Mm-hmm. What he's doing,
he's trying to wreck
666
00:26:07,966 --> 00:26:09,300
public confidence
in the rail system.
667
00:26:09,367 --> 00:26:10,333
( phone ringing )
Hey.
668
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,533
Eppes.
669
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,833
The clock is ticking,
Agent Eppes.
670
00:26:12,899 --> 00:26:15,300
You're nowhere near catching me.
671
00:26:15,367 --> 00:26:16,966
90 seconds to trace the
call. I need a trace.
672
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:18,634
Well, I'd say
I'm pretty darn close, Fnk.
673
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:19,966
I know H-Bob didn't throw you
674
00:26:20,033 --> 00:26:21,367
off that train,
I know you jumped
675
00:26:21,433 --> 00:26:22,400
just before
the Cajon Pass.
676
00:26:22,467 --> 00:26:24,000
That's how you
hurt your arm.
677
00:26:24,066 --> 00:26:25,000
You're smarter
678
00:26:25,066 --> 00:26:26,300
than the NTSB.
679
00:26:26,367 --> 00:26:28,166
Yeah, I also know
you're not responsible
680
00:26:28,233 --> 00:26:29,700
for that first accident, Frank.
681
00:26:29,766 --> 00:26:31,200
Well, the railroad said I was.
682
00:26:31,267 --> 00:26:34,000
The brake lines failed...
I told them
683
00:26:34,066 --> 00:26:36,000
the maintenance was shoddy.
684
00:26:36,066 --> 00:26:37,467
They didn't care.
685
00:26:37,533 --> 00:26:39,200
And 36 people died.
686
00:26:39,267 --> 00:26:40,533
Look, let me ask you this.
687
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,667
Do you know how much
your wife misses you?
688
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:45,899
You talked to my wife?
689
00:26:45,966 --> 00:26:49,133
Yup, and believes in you.
690
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,433
You want
toee her again, Frank?
691
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:51,700
The only way
that's going to happen
692
00:26:51,766 --> 00:26:52,966
is if you turn yourself in.
693
00:26:53,033 --> 00:26:56,899
No, people need to know
the ras aren't safe.
694
00:26:56,966 --> 00:26:58,467
We can do that.
695
00:26:58,533 --> 00:27:01,166
Look, we can set the record
straight, you and me, okay?
696
00:27:01,233 --> 00:27:03,667
The railroad
buries its mistakes!
697
00:27:03,734 --> 00:27:05,766
Everyone knows it'll cost
billions to make the rails safe.
698
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:07,467
They won't spend the money.
699
00:27:07,533 --> 00:27:10,966
It's going to take something
big to force a change.
700
00:27:11,033 --> 00:27:12,500
Well, this is what I know.
701
00:27:12,567 --> 00:27:14,333
Tomorrow is the anniversary
of the Cajon Pass accident
702
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,766
and I think you're going to
try and re-create it, Frank.
703
00:27:16,833 --> 00:27:19,100
And I'm here to tell you
it's not going to happen.
704
00:27:19,166 --> 00:27:20,933
There is no way
you'll pull that off.
705
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,233
Agent Eppes, there are
a lot of trains out there.
706
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:26,533
You can't protect all of them.
707
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,966
But even if it doesn't happen
tomorrow, it will another day.
708
00:27:30,033 --> 00:27:32,766
I have allhe time
in the wor.
709
00:27:32,833 --> 00:27:37,367
But when I'm done, the railroad
companies will be in ruins.
710
00:27:37,433 --> 00:27:39,100
All right, Frank? Frank?
( call disconnects )
711
00:27:39,166 --> 00:27:40,700
The call originated
from inside
712
00:27:40,766 --> 00:27:43,200
the control room of the
San Bernardino switchyard.
713
00:27:43,267 --> 00:27:44,533
What?
Yeah.
714
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,667
I got them.
715
00:27:47,433 --> 00:27:49,500
I want to know
how he got in here?
716
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:51,367
People saw a man in
a janitor's uniform,
717
00:27:51,433 --> 00:27:52,300
no one thought
twice.
718
00:27:52,367 --> 00:27:53,600
But from in here,
719
00:27:53,667 --> 00:27:55,033
he can tamper with
any number of switches
720
00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:56,200
and controls,
cause hundreds of accidents.
721
00:27:56,267 --> 00:27:58,267
And did he
722
00:27:58,333 --> 00:28:00,433
As far as we can tell,
he didn't touch a thing,
723
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:02,933
except for this.
724
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,799
He's showing us
what he's capable of.
725
00:28:04,866 --> 00:28:06,467
All right, well,
now it's our turn.
726
00:28:06,533 --> 00:28:07,667
Why don't you guys
727
00:28:07,734 --> 00:28:08,667
look around here.
728
00:28:08,734 --> 00:28:10,133
Show me how this thing works.
729
00:28:12,966 --> 00:28:15,166
This is Frank Milton.
730
00:28:15,233 --> 00:28:17,899
We believe tomorrow he
will attempt to attack one
731
00:28:17,966 --> 00:28:19,533
of 100 trains traveling
over the Cajon Pass.
732
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,966
DAVID: We can't get the pass closed
733
00:28:21,033 --> 00:28:22,433
because we don't have
a specific threat.
734
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:24,667
All we have are our conclusions
about Milton's plans.
735
00:28:24,734 --> 00:28:26,700
Yeah, it's the major freight
rail line into L.A..
736
00:28:26,766 --> 00:28:27,933
Closing it would shut down
737
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,467
60% of the region's
commerce.
738
00:28:29,533 --> 00:28:30,600
DON:
The kicker is,
739
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:32,000
the guy's off the grid.
740
00:28:32,066 --> 00:28:33,567
Hunting him down
could take months or years.
741
00:28:33,634 --> 00:28:35,267
Our best shot
is at that Pass.
742
00:28:35,333 --> 00:28:36,267
CHARLIE:
Terry believes Milton
743
00:28:36,333 --> 00:28:37,467
will select a train most like
744
00:28:37,533 --> 00:28:38,734
the onhe drove.
745
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:40,033
I'll rank
tomorrow's trains according
746
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:41,799
to similarities to the original;
that way we can
747
00:28:41,866 --> 00:28:43,433
focus the searches.
748
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,133
Right, and I'll be in the yard,
coordinating the searches.
749
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,033
TERRY: Crews will check the
end-of-train equipment
750
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:49,033
and the entire brake system
before heading down the pass.
751
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:51,033
DON: Local cops will
be walking the tracks,
752
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:52,133
checking for any tampering.
753
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,799
I want cops posted anywhere
754
00:28:53,866 --> 00:28:55,533
that train slows down
in case he tries
755
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,966
to jump on one after the yard.
756
00:28:57,033 --> 00:28:58,200
What about rail cops?
757
00:28:58,267 --> 00:28:59,667
DAVID:
They've posted the photos
758
00:28:59,734 --> 00:29:01,433
around the yard
and tightened the perimeter.
759
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:03,066
DON: There'll be an armed
agent or cop on every train
760
00:29:03,133 --> 00:29:04,600
just in case
he happens to get on one.
761
00:29:04,667 --> 00:29:06,166
You think Milton will try
to sabotage a train
762
00:29:06,233 --> 00:29:07,166
with all this security?
763
00:29:07,233 --> 00:29:08,267
Yeah, I do,
764
00:29:08,333 --> 00:29:10,066
I think he's gonna attempt it,
765
00:29:10,133 --> 00:29:12,100
but we're gonna
be ready for him.
766
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:16,367
Hey, ready to go?
767
00:29:16,433 --> 00:29:18,533
Not quite.
Mrs. Milton is here.
768
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,100
Oh. All right.
769
00:29:23,567 --> 00:29:25,066
Mrs. Milton.
770
00:29:25,133 --> 00:29:26,899
Agent Eppes.
Yes, ma'am.
771
00:29:26,966 --> 00:29:29,000
Frank called me.
772
00:29:29,066 --> 00:29:31,333
I couldn't
believe it.
773
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,000
To hear his voice
after four years.
774
00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:36,333
What did he say?
775
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,233
He begged me to forgive him,
and then he told me...
776
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:43,933
Please, Mrs. Milton,
this is very important.
777
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,400
Time is of
the essence now.
778
00:29:46,467 --> 00:29:48,567
He told me good-bye.
779
00:29:48,634 --> 00:29:51,600
On the Cajon Pass
that day, apparently he...
780
00:29:51,667 --> 00:29:54,766
jumpedefore the wreck.
781
00:29:54,833 --> 00:29:57,766
Engineers aren't
supposed to do that.
782
00:29:57,833 --> 00:29:59,700
As much as he hates
the railroad,
783
00:29:59,766 --> 00:30:01,367
he hates himself worse.
784
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:03,567
He's going to
kill himself.
785
00:30:03,634 --> 00:30:04,966
Is that what
you think?
786
00:30:05,033 --> 00:30:06,600
Is that what
he was saying?
787
00:30:06,667 --> 00:30:08,033
He's going to
kill himself?
788
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,633
DON:
All right, so we all set?
789
00:30:36,699 --> 00:30:38,233
I've compiled data
on every train car
790
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:39,200
leaving the
switchyard today.
791
00:30:39,267 --> 00:30:40,534
All that's left
792
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:42,367
is to compare those elements
to the original train
793
00:30:42,434 --> 00:30:43,866
in order to find
the closest match.
794
00:30:43,933 --> 00:30:45,933
Did you use a computer
program for the comparison?
795
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,933
You know what, there
wasn't time to write one,
796
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,233
but I can
handle that.
797
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:51,200
You'll have to review
over 100,000 data points.
798
00:30:51,267 --> 00:30:52,300
Well, we're going
to concentrate
799
00:30:52,367 --> 00:30:53,633
on the trains
that Charlie flagged.
800
00:30:53,699 --> 00:30:55,766
See you later.
801
00:30:55,833 --> 00:30:58,766
SUTTER: The yard supervisor
says that a train leaves
802
00:30:58,833 --> 00:31:00,100
every six minutes.
803
00:31:00,167 --> 00:31:01,966
A lot carry munitions
or hazardous chemicals.
804
00:31:02,033 --> 00:31:03,566
All right,
let's get the database up.
805
00:31:03,633 --> 00:31:05,800
I've got to find
the trains most like the one
806
00:31:05,866 --> 00:31:07,633
that derailed
four years ago.
807
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:09,267
So how does
this work?
808
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:10,866
These specs are from
the original El Cajon
809
00:31:10,933 --> 00:31:12,733
locomotive and
container cars.
810
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200
This database shows
today's trains,
811
00:31:15,267 --> 00:31:18,267
sorted by departure time
and their relevant specs...
812
00:31:18,333 --> 00:31:21,333
number of cars, gear ratio,
813
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,200
engine model, HP traction...
814
00:31:24,267 --> 00:31:25,267
( clang )
815
00:31:28,067 --> 00:31:30,067
( train chugging )
816
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,566
MAN:
All right.
817
00:31:37,833 --> 00:31:39,633
All right,
give me the first group.
818
00:31:39,699 --> 00:31:40,633
Train HB-17
819
00:31:40,699 --> 00:31:42,133
and PL-02.
820
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,100
Track 32
821
00:31:44,167 --> 00:31:45,233
and 2 respectively.
822
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:46,467
Right, 32.
823
00:31:46,534 --> 00:31:48,033
Track 2 train
824
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:49,333
contains some cars
of Naval munitions.
825
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,800
Well, that sounds like
826
00:31:50,866 --> 00:31:52,267
an ideal target...
why don't you take that.
827
00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:53,966
Okay, let's go.
828
00:31:54,033 --> 00:31:55,400
All right, ride-along
assignments...
829
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:57,167
Ortiz, you're on CC-3.
830
00:31:57,233 --> 00:31:59,766
Varitek, IS-22. Mulligan,
831
00:31:59,833 --> 00:32:01,000
HM-04. And hustle!
832
00:32:01,067 --> 00:32:02,200
It leaves on Track 20
833
00:32:02,267 --> 00:32:03,666
in eight minutes.
834
00:32:03,733 --> 00:32:05,534
All right, give me
the next train, Charlie.
835
00:32:10,367 --> 00:32:14,367
( train chugging )
836
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:19,267
CHARLIE:
That one.
837
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:20,966
PSP-31,
838
00:32:21,033 --> 00:32:22,933
track 24.
Hey, actually, Don,
839
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,367
you know, wait,
go, um...
840
00:32:24,434 --> 00:32:26,333
go to HM-04.
841
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,267
It's nearly identical
to the original.
842
00:32:28,333 --> 00:32:30,666
It's got several cars
of nuclear waste.
843
00:32:30,733 --> 00:32:32,233
Track 20.
844
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:34,434
Train number HM-04.
845
00:33:20,833 --> 00:33:22,534
He shoved me off a flatcar,
wrecked my arm.
846
00:33:25,933 --> 00:33:27,133
Frank, it's over!
847
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,367
Don't move!
Don't do it, Frank!
848
00:33:28,434 --> 00:33:30,400
Frank! Frank!
Easy, easy! Don't shoot!
849
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:34,633
You'll blow up the whole yard.
850
00:33:34,699 --> 00:33:35,633
Shoot me,
and there'll be
851
00:33:35,699 --> 00:33:36,900
a radioactive cloud
852
00:33:36,966 --> 00:33:38,467
hanging over the L.A. basin
853
00:33:38,534 --> 00:33:39,566
for a week.
854
00:33:39,633 --> 00:33:40,733
Just put that down
855
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,966
and go down to the ground.
856
00:33:42,033 --> 00:33:44,067
Put your knees
on the ground, Frank.
857
00:33:44,133 --> 00:33:45,467
Don, are you at Track 20?
858
00:33:46,534 --> 00:33:48,333
Don?
859
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,467
Frank, hold it. Listen
to me. Just listen to me.
860
00:33:50,534 --> 00:33:53,000
I know you want to settle
your score with the railroad.
861
00:33:53,067 --> 00:33:54,699
The best w to do that
is to stay alive, Frank...
862
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:57,233
I'll tell my story
when I hop on that train,
863
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,133
ride it down the pass
and blow it up.
864
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,633
Then everyone
will wonder why,
865
00:34:00,699 --> 00:34:02,566
and you're going
to tell them why.
866
00:34:02,633 --> 00:34:04,200
because you have
the responsibility...
867
00:34:04,267 --> 00:34:06,534
Charlie, tell the supervisor
to move that HM-04 now.
868
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:08,566
We've got an explosive device
on Track 20.
869
00:34:08,633 --> 00:34:11,100
I sent Don to Track 20.
870
00:34:12,167 --> 00:34:13,133
( train whistle blowing )
871
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,733
Frank if you set
that off, you're
872
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,000
the bad guy in this scenario...
is that what you want?
873
00:34:17,067 --> 00:34:18,367
You want to die
for no reason?
874
00:34:18,434 --> 00:34:19,900
Is that what you want, Frank?
875
00:34:19,966 --> 00:34:22,367
I should've died years ago,
with everybody else.
876
00:34:25,633 --> 00:34:27,367
FRANK:
Ow!
877
00:34:27,434 --> 00:34:28,500
TERRY:
Don, you okay?
878
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:30,500
No, bomb!
There's a timer running!
879
00:34:30,566 --> 00:34:32,200
It's over, Agent Eppes.
880
00:34:32,267 --> 00:34:34,566
Get train HM-04 out of the yard.
Terry, get out of here.
881
00:34:34,633 --> 00:34:36,000
They'll never get the train
out of here in time.
882
00:34:36,067 --> 00:34:37,367
I said fall back!
883
00:34:37,434 --> 00:34:39,800
You can't hold him
and work the bomb. I stay!
884
00:34:39,866 --> 00:34:41,133
Don't move!
( grunting )
885
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,434
All right, all right.
886
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:43,966
Let's get it off him. All right.
887
00:34:44,033 --> 00:34:46,534
Let's get it off him. DAVID: Don, don't!
888
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:47,367
Don't touch that.
889
00:34:47,434 --> 00:34:48,434
David, get out of here.
890
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:49,933
There might be a trip wire.
891
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,534
ere might be a trip wire!
892
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:53,333
TERRY: Don't move! Ow! Ah!
893
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,699
Hold him! There might be a trip
wire between him and the device.
894
00:34:56,766 --> 00:34:57,866
What are you gonna do?
895
00:34:57,933 --> 00:34:59,033
I got it.
896
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:00,267
Are you sure you know
what you're doing?
897
00:35:00,333 --> 00:35:02,966
I know what I'm
doing. I got it.
898
00:35:03,033 --> 00:35:04,233
You just hold him.
899
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:05,333
I got him.
900
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,033
( high-pitched tone )
901
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:07,866
Just hold him still.
902
00:35:07,933 --> 00:35:09,167
Don't let him move.
903
00:35:09,233 --> 00:35:10,367
( tone stops )
( grunts )
904
00:35:10,434 --> 00:35:11,599
gasps )
905
00:35:15,233 --> 00:35:17,699
All right, get him up.
906
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:21,699
How'd you learn how to do that?
907
00:35:21,766 --> 00:35:24,000
Don't tell me, you took a class
at the academy, right?
908
00:35:24,067 --> 00:35:26,666
First posting was
in Tel Aviv.
909
00:35:26,733 --> 00:35:28,467
Got my bomb training.
910
00:35:28,534 --> 00:35:32,933
Guys, for following orders,
not your best moment,
911
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,534
but thank you.
912
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,100
It's all right,
we got him.
913
00:35:36,167 --> 00:35:37,267
It's okay,
914
00:35:37,333 --> 00:35:39,067
we got him, we got him.
915
00:35:39,133 --> 00:35:41,534
We got him. All stand down.
916
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:43,400
( sighs
and laughs )
917
00:35:45,167 --> 00:35:47,234
Well, this has turned out
to be a really good day.
918
00:35:47,299 --> 00:35:49,399
You've helped the FBI,
and I managed to convince Larry
919
00:35:49,466 --> 00:35:51,500
to ask out Professor Wilson. Really?
920
00:35:51,566 --> 00:35:53,167
How'd you change his mind?
921
00:35:53,234 --> 00:35:55,000
I used game theory,
which says people
922
00:35:55,067 --> 00:35:56,967
will take bigger risks
for bigger gain.
923
00:35:57,033 --> 00:35:58,967
I pointed out that
he has the opportunity
924
00:35:59,033 --> 00:36:01,266
to turn a good friendship
into a great romance.
925
00:36:01,333 --> 00:36:03,566
And he actually bought
that from you?
926
00:36:03,633 --> 00:36:05,867
He wants to do it;
he just needed a good reason.
927
00:36:05,933 --> 00:36:06,967
I know.
928
00:36:07,033 --> 00:36:08,633
Amita,
929
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,200
you know, you and I
have been working
930
00:36:10,266 --> 00:36:12,299
really closely together
these last couple weeks.
931
00:36:12,366 --> 00:36:14,033
I've had a great time.
932
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:17,466
Actually, um, I was, uh,
just wondering if...
933
00:36:18,533 --> 00:36:20,200
Hey, Charlie?
Excuse me, I'm sorry
934
00:36:20,266 --> 00:36:21,533
Amita, can you give
us one second?
935
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,033
Yeah, sure, I'll wait
for you downstairs.
936
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:24,600
Thanks. I'm sorry,
am I interrupting?
937
00:36:24,666 --> 00:36:26,433
Yes, you did.
Well, look...
938
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:28,833
What is it? I just want to tell you
939
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:31,067
that you're doing
great work here and...
940
00:36:31,134 --> 00:36:34,500
Oh. Well... well,
thanks, thank you.
941
00:36:34,566 --> 00:36:36,067
You know, I don't
know anyone who
942
00:36:36,134 --> 00:36:37,900
could've done what you
did with those notes,
943
00:36:37,967 --> 00:36:40,800
and I want you to know, I don't
take for granted what you do.
944
00:36:40,867 --> 00:36:42,234
I never thought you did.
945
00:36:42,299 --> 00:36:43,867
Good. So, what's the deal,
946
00:36:43,933 --> 00:36:45,800
you gonna ask her
out already?
947
00:36:47,767 --> 00:36:49,000
Well...
948
00:36:49,067 --> 00:36:50,666
Don't wait too long, man,
949
00:36:50,733 --> 00:36:52,700
or someone's gonna
snatch her up.
950
00:36:56,134 --> 00:36:57,800
I know my due date, I'm sorry.
951
00:36:57,867 --> 00:36:58,900
You're trying
to show me up, man.
952
00:36:58,967 --> 00:36:59,900
No, man.
I apologize.
953
00:36:59,967 --> 00:37:01,433
Okay, all right.
Okay, okay.
954
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:02,867
( laughter )
955
00:37:02,933 --> 00:37:04,000
There you go. Ah,
excellent, Dad. Thank you.
956
00:37:04,067 --> 00:37:05,200
Okay. Thank you so much.
957
00:37:05,266 --> 00:37:06,399
No, no, no,
I was a good stunt.
958
00:37:06,466 --> 00:37:07,800
No, I just couldn't
get into math.
959
00:37:07,867 --> 00:37:09,366
Couldn't see how it could relate
to the real world.
960
00:37:12,933 --> 00:37:14,867
What? What did I say?
961
00:37:14,933 --> 00:37:16,466
DON: I think you're about to find out.
962
00:37:16,533 --> 00:37:18,033
Oh, you guys are on your own.
963
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:19,299
Good luck.
964
00:37:19,366 --> 00:37:21,433
CHARLIE: Math is
the real world, okay?
965
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:24,234
It's everywhere, okay?
966
00:37:24,299 --> 00:37:25,833
Hey, can I show you?
Please.
967
00:37:30,067 --> 00:37:31,600
chuckling )
968
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:34,733
Um, you see how the...
the petals spiral?
969
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,333
The number of petals
970
00:37:36,399 --> 00:37:39,800
in each row is the sum
of the preceding two rows.
971
00:37:39,867 --> 00:37:41,767
The Fibonacci sequence.
972
00:37:41,833 --> 00:37:43,299
It's found in...
973
00:37:43,366 --> 00:37:46,333
the structure of crystals
and the spiral of galaxies.
974
00:37:46,399 --> 00:37:47,933
In a nautilus shell.
975
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,333
That's amazing.
What's more,
976
00:37:49,399 --> 00:37:52,167
the ratio between
each number in the sequence
977
00:37:52,234 --> 00:37:56,700
to the one before it
is approximately 1.61803.
978
00:37:56,767 --> 00:37:59,666
Wha-What the Greeks called
the Golden Ratio.
979
00:37:59,733 --> 00:38:01,333
It shows up.
980
00:38:01,399 --> 00:38:02,767
The pyramids at Giza
981
00:38:02,833 --> 00:38:05,100
and in the Parthenon
at Athens and...
982
00:38:05,167 --> 00:38:06,167
and the dimensions
983
00:38:06,234 --> 00:38:09,833
of this card.
984
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:11,366
And it's based
on a number you can find
985
00:38:11,433 --> 00:38:14,167
in a flower? ( chuckles )
986
00:38:14,234 --> 00:38:16,500
Math is nature's language,
987
00:38:16,566 --> 00:38:22,200
its method of communicating
directly with us.
988
00:38:22,266 --> 00:38:24,266
So...
989
00:38:25,234 --> 00:38:27,533
Everything is numbers.
990
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,633
Okay, well,
when you explain it like that,
991
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:31,266
it's a lot more interesting.
992
00:38:31,333 --> 00:38:33,333
ALAN: Well, it seems like
your new math consultant's
993
00:38:33,399 --> 00:38:35,366
working out nicely.
994
00:38:35,433 --> 00:38:37,967
I got to tell you, Dad, I can't think
of anyone who could've helped us
995
00:38:38,033 --> 00:38:39,500
the way Charlie did
in the investigation.
996
00:38:39,566 --> 00:38:41,067
Just remember how Charlie is.
997
00:38:41,134 --> 00:38:42,633
Can't seem to quit a problem.
998
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,433
He's still working
on the same one
999
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:45,967
he's had since grade school.
1000
00:38:46,033 --> 00:38:47,466
And what's that?
1001
00:38:47,533 --> 00:38:49,466
Trying to impress
his big brother.
1002
00:38:49,533 --> 00:38:52,000
Come on.
1003
00:38:52,067 --> 00:38:53,967
( chuckling )
1004
00:38:54,033 --> 00:38:58,500
Yeah, I've given that exact speech
to, uh, my-my junior class...
1005
00:38:58,566 --> 00:39:02,700
He is going to test the recurrence
of the untwinnable moment.
1006
00:39:02,767 --> 00:39:04,666
You think, maybe?
1007
00:39:04,733 --> 00:39:07,333
( chattering indistinctly )
