1
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:28,205
What do you got, Ray?
2
00:00:28,305 --> 00:00:31,426
We're looking for two perps with
machine guns for a triple homicide.
3
00:00:31,829 --> 00:00:34,849
They went on a cash-grabbing spree,six
stores in less than a half-hour.
4
00:00:35,655 --> 00:00:36,964
So they knew what were they after.
5
00:00:37,165 --> 00:00:45,320
Well, you'd think,but take a look at the targets:got
a shoe store, a CD store,jewelry store, an electronics
6
00:00:45,924 --> 00:00:48,440
I mean, they blew right past the
bank and a check-cashing place.
7
00:00:48,542 --> 00:00:49,347
That's unusual.
8
00:00:50,152 --> 00:00:51,662
This jewelry store was the last stop.
9
00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:53,475
Opened fire as they fled the scene.
10
00:00:54,683 --> 00:00:55,689
We'd love to help you, Ray.
11
00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:57,804
I mean, it's not exactly a federal case.
12
00:00:58,408 --> 00:01:00,421
Actually, we got a video
from four of the stores.
13
00:01:00,924 --> 00:01:03,441
Picture's pretty much
useless.We need it bumped up.
14
00:01:04,146 --> 00:01:06,462
What are you talking about?LAPD's
got a great crime lab.
15
00:01:06,562 --> 00:01:09,583
Yeah, but the FBI's got your
brother the math professor.
16
00:01:09,985 --> 00:01:10,388
My brother?
17
00:01:11,294 --> 00:01:18,241
One of our techs read about some video enhancement program
he's involved with at the university.We were kind of hoping
18
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:29,517
We all use math every day...every day...
19
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,329
to forecast weather...
20
00:01:33,141 --> 00:01:34,047
to tell time...
21
00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:37,571
to handle money..to handle money...
22
00:01:38,074 --> 00:01:41,799
We also use math to analyze
crime...analyze crime...
23
00:01:42,604 --> 00:01:44,618
reveal patterns...reveal patterns...
24
00:01:45,726 --> 00:01:47,739
predict behavior...behavior.
25
00:01:48,444 --> 00:01:52,068
Using numbers, we can solve
the biggest mysteries we know.
26
00:02:00,223 --> 00:02:03,444
Here's a still from the camera in
the jewelry store; low-res digital.
27
00:02:03,545 --> 00:02:06,566
Most surveillance cameras don't retain
enough information to blow up clearly.
28
00:02:06,968 --> 00:02:07,874
When we zoom in-
29
00:02:08,982 --> 00:02:09,586
we can't.
30
00:02:09,787 --> 00:02:10,995
The information's just not there.
31
00:02:11,499 --> 00:02:14,620
But Charlie provided me
with a predictive algorithm.
32
00:02:14,821 --> 00:02:18,445
A mathematical equation to help the
computer guess at what's between the dots.
33
00:02:18,647 --> 00:02:21,868
Extrapolations of information
based on the surrounding pixels.
34
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:24,184
In fact, the equation looks
a little something like this.
35
00:02:24,385 --> 00:02:24,989
Wow.
36
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,412
You don't really care
about the equation.
37
00:02:28,513 --> 00:02:30,325
Let's just say we can't
fully appreciate it.
38
00:02:31,332 --> 00:02:32,741
How long to enhance all the footage?
39
00:02:32,842 --> 00:02:35,459
We're halfway done, so we'll have
a fl-play version in an ho or two.
40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:35,862
Okay.
41
00:02:36,164 --> 00:02:37,875
That's a Steyr TMP automatic.
42
00:02:37,977 --> 00:02:39,084
That's an expensive weapon.
43
00:02:39,487 --> 00:02:41,802
Mm-mm. And look at
the watch- Bell & Ross.
44
00:02:41,903 --> 00:02:48,749
There's got to be, what, at least a half a million
dollars in jewels in those cases and they pass it up
45
00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:50,359
It helps out my thrill-kill theory.
46
00:02:51,166 --> 00:02:51,467
Excuse me.
47
00:02:51,568 --> 00:02:53,984
Thrill killers get a rush
off of fear and chaos.
48
00:02:54,185 --> 00:02:55,796
These two appear
deliberate and organized.
49
00:02:55,897 --> 00:02:57,507
They've have a plan.
They're after something.
50
00:02:57,609 --> 00:03:01,032
- Yeah, but if it's not for money and it's not for kicks...
- Right, we'll be right there.
51
00:03:01,535 --> 00:03:02,542
We've got another crime scene.
52
00:03:02,843 --> 00:03:05,360
Shell casings match
a Steyr TMP automatic.
53
00:03:16,334 --> 00:03:17,341
Crime scene's over there.
54
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:25,999
Wait. Hold on a sec.
55
00:03:27,912 --> 00:03:29,724
Looks like someone went
on a shopping spree:
56
00:03:30,429 --> 00:03:33,449
iPods, tennis shoes, a watch...
57
00:03:35,463 --> 00:03:36,872
This is one of the stores that was hit.
58
00:03:38,684 --> 00:03:39,489
Wait a minute. These, too.
59
00:03:41,503 --> 00:03:43,617
- All cash transactions?
- Yeah, it's cash.
60
00:03:44,322 --> 00:03:45,127
Yeah. Same here.
61
00:03:50,161 --> 00:03:50,665
Eppes.
62
00:03:51,168 --> 00:03:53,283
Hey. I found something
interesting on the video.
63
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:57,914
Several hours before the crimes at every single
store that's robbed,two teenage boys appear.
64
00:03:58,819 --> 00:03:59,424
Whatere they doing?
65
00:03:59,625 --> 00:04:00,229
Shopping.
66
00:04:00,934 --> 00:04:01,940
Shopping?
67
00:04:02,746 --> 00:04:03,652
Wait a minute. Hold on a second.
68
00:04:05,665 --> 00:04:12,210
Two teenagers...they're male, white, got one
with spiky blonde hair,the other with a goatee?
69
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:17,847
Tell me you already have them.
70
00:04:19,257 --> 00:04:19,961
You could say that.
71
00:04:21,572 --> 00:04:25,599
The two ad boys are Chris and Jason
Miller.They're brothers, 19 and 16.
72
00:04:25,902 --> 00:04:27,613
M.E. puts their death at about 2:00 P.M.
73
00:04:28,117 --> 00:04:29,525
So that's what, like...
74
00:04:30,432 --> 00:04:32,712
a half an hour before
the robberies took place.
75
00:04:32,747 --> 00:04:37,378
We'll have to wait for Forensics
to confirm it,but it seems like
76
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:42,412
We got two kids shopping the same stores
that were robbed, between 10:00 and noon.
77
00:04:42,714 --> 00:04:43,822
d they're both dead by 2:00.
78
00:04:45,231 --> 00:04:48,654
Chris borrowed $300
last month for his car.
79
00:04:50,265 --> 00:04:51,875
He paid me back last night.
80
00:04:52,682 --> 00:04:54,192
- In cash?
- Mm-hmm.
81
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,017
Do you mind?Thank you.
82
00:05:05,838 --> 00:05:06,440
Where'd he get it?
83
00:05:07,643 --> 00:05:08,746
They're teenagers.
84
00:05:09,849 --> 00:05:11,052
They don't tell me anything.
85
00:05:12,957 --> 00:05:13,559
Poker?
86
00:05:17,269 --> 00:05:18,171
Poker, maybe?
87
00:05:20,878 --> 00:05:23,686
It'll be returned,as soon as we're
sure it's not connected in any way.
88
00:05:24,989 --> 00:05:26,092
Did either of them have jobs?
89
00:05:28,899 --> 00:05:33,913
Chris, my oldest,he's been working
at a movie studio in North Hollywood.
90
00:05:35,417 --> 00:05:36,119
Where'd you hear that?
91
00:05:36,620 --> 00:05:38,726
I don't know if I'd
call us a movie studio.
92
00:05:39,528 --> 00:05:41,733
Couple of low-budget
productions rented space here.
93
00:05:42,034 --> 00:05:45,644
Mainly we got manufacturing;we got
wrought iron, got a box company.
94
00:05:45,744 --> 00:05:47,348
Chris' mother said he
worked here for four months.
95
00:05:47,449 --> 00:05:51,860
Yeah, pretty good worker, too.But now I
gotta drive all the way in from Duarte.
96
00:05:51,961 --> 00:05:54,166
Oh, yeah, must be tough on you, huh?
97
00:05:54,367 --> 00:05:59,080
Hey, hey, I am sorry about
that kid, but problems go on.
98
00:06:00,283 --> 00:06:06,599
See, last night, one of my tenants bailed on me,no
notice, no nothing I don't need this in my life.
99
00:06:08,076 --> 00:06:09,276
Sorry to disturb you.
100
00:06:11,875 --> 00:06:13,574
You say your tenants moved
out in the middle of the night?
101
00:06:14,175 --> 00:06:15,674
And then the kid who works
here was killed the next day.
102
00:06:16,174 --> 00:06:17,574
What kind of operation went on here?
103
00:06:18,274 --> 00:06:20,673
They put out a newsletter, I think.
104
00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:23,372
Never read it, just saw
therinting equipment.
105
00:06:24,772 --> 00:06:25,273
You knew them?
106
00:06:25,872 --> 00:06:26,972
You dealt with
them face-to-face?
107
00:06:27,272 --> 00:06:30,371
Uh, no. Actually, Chris dealt with them.
108
00:06:31,071 --> 00:06:31,771
I never met 'em.
109
00:06:49,567 --> 00:06:50,267
You got something?
110
00:06:51,867 --> 00:06:52,367
Not sure.
111
00:06:55,166 --> 00:06:56,566
at is that, ink?
112
00:06:58,466 --> 00:06:58,965
Could be.
113
00:07:00,565 --> 00:07:01,465
Got a piece of paper?
114
00:07:01,565 --> 00:07:01,865
Yeah.
115
00:07:02,764 --> 00:07:03,164
Look at this.
116
00:07:05,264 --> 00:07:07,963
It's paper, but feels like fabric.
117
00:07:08,564 --> 00:07:10,063
Got a cotton-linen feel to it.
118
00:07:11,462 --> 00:07:11,862
Let me see.
119
00:07:13,163 --> 00:07:14,163
It's weird. This is shiny.
120
00:07:18,961 --> 00:07:20,761
You better put in a
call to Secret Service.
121
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,161
You're right. It's counterfeit.
122
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,960
See the watermarks?
123
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:25,960
Yeah. Sure.
124
00:07:26,260 --> 00:07:27,859
You shouldn't, under
an ultraviolet light.
125
00:07:28,060 --> 00:07:28,959
Paper's another giveaway.
126
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,658
Someone have a genuine bill?
127
00:07:31,559 --> 00:07:34,858
- Yeah. Here you go.
- Great. Thanks.
128
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,057
There you go. You see the difference?
129
00:07:40,457 --> 00:07:42,757
It's pretty goodork, though.
130
00:07:43,456 --> 00:07:46,656
Most of us at the Secret Service are
dealing with poor quality counterfeits.
131
00:07:47,656 --> 00:07:48,655
We call 'em "P-notes."
132
00:07:49,355 --> 00:07:51,055
They're actually printed
on home computers.
133
00:07:51,555 --> 00:07:54,354
That actually works? Dark
restaurant,busy grocery store.
134
00:07:54,554 --> 00:07:55,954
You'd be surprised.
135
00:07:56,754 --> 00:07:57,953
This is a different game, though.
136
00:07:59,254 --> 00:08:01,352
This is old school,engraving
and printing.
137
00:08:02,752 --> 00:08:04,752
Paper's got good feel, magnetic ink.
138
00:08:04,952 --> 00:08:06,251
Magnetic?
139
00:08:06,351 --> 00:08:08,251
Real bills employ
different magnetic inks.
140
00:08:08,551 --> 00:08:11,351
That's how a bank's sorters
distinguish different denominations.
141
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:15,349
Our guys are old-school philosophy
and state-of-the-art technology.
142
00:08:15,850 --> 00:08:16,650
Our guys?
143
00:08:18,849 --> 00:08:20,849
The Secret Service has
been tracking this crew.
144
00:08:20,948 --> 00:08:24,448
They've resurfaced periodically
over the last five years.
145
00:08:25,048 --> 00:08:26,647
- The tip-off is the
denomination. - Hey
146
00:08:27,047 --> 00:08:29,447
Most counterfeiters print 50s and
hundreds. Higher return, right?
147
00:08:29,547 --> 00:08:30,547
Yeah, and higher risk.
148
00:08:30,647 --> 00:08:31,946
Big bills get more scrutiny.
149
00:08:32,246 --> 00:08:36,045
These guys are conservative and patient. They
only print small bills and they never spend
150
00:08:36,546 --> 00:08:38,445
How do they profit if
they don't spend the bills?
151
00:08:38,945 --> 00:08:42,544
Well, they can sell them in bulk.They can lay
off a million of these and get $300,000, $400,000.
152
00:08:42,644 --> 00:08:46,344
Yeah, usually to gangs or other criminal
enterprises,who then use it to fund more crime.
153
00:08:51,442 --> 00:08:55,642
No, they're hand-rendered by an
artist,then the engraving process begins.
154
00:08:56,541 --> 00:08:57,841
Someone actually draws these?
155
00:08:57,918 --> 00:09:00,820
You've been tracking these guys for
five years.You must have active suspects.
156
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,721
Not yet,no.
157
00:09:03,121 --> 00:09:08,823
We'll, uh, we'll run a search,tell banks to keep an eye out for
bills with a similar serial range and maybe this time we'll get lucky.
158
00:09:09,223 --> 00:09:10,624
You don't sound optimistic.
159
00:09:10,924 --> 00:09:13,626
These guys have been beating our playbook
since before I inherited the case.
160
00:09:13,726 --> 00:09:14,727
We'll work the money.
161
00:09:15,326 --> 00:09:16,827
I think you should work
the homicides separately.
162
00:09:16,927 --> 00:09:18,228
It's actually Grounded Theory.
163
00:09:19,229 --> 00:09:21,829
This problem screams for
a case-oriented approach.
164
00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:22,730
Excuse me?
165
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:28,132
In Grounded Theory,the homicides would have
one solution,the counterfeiting another.
166
00:09:28,633 --> 00:09:34,936
In a case-oriented approach,the homicides become a variable
set interacting in some complex manner with the counterfeiting
167
00:09:35,236 --> 00:09:35,937
Can I have a word with you?
168
00:09:38,138 --> 00:09:38,538
Sure.
169
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:46,042
Can you explain to me what your brother isoing
in a federal office,wandering into the middle of
170
00:09:46,141 --> 00:09:50,343
Well, first of all,he happens to be a Bureau-approved
consultant,and second of all,this seems like
171
00:09:50,544 --> 00:09:52,445
Okay, you still could have
briefed me ahead of time.
172
00:09:54,045 --> 00:09:57,147
Come on. I don't think
this is about my brother.
173
00:09:59,548 --> 00:10:00,548
All right. That's fair.
174
00:10:03,150 --> 00:10:04,650
So I guess you left Albuquerque.
175
00:10:04,951 --> 00:10:06,451
Yeah. I left Albuquerque.
176
00:10:11,254 --> 00:10:15,556
Look,your mom got sick.You had to move
back home. I've always understood that.
177
00:10:19,357 --> 00:10:21,759
Well, look, let's just
focus on the work, okay?
178
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:25,461
That was never a problem, was it?
179
00:10:33,065 --> 00:10:36,866
Chris Miller discovers they're printing
counterfeit,he steals some money.
180
00:10:37,266 --> 00:10:38,667
He and his brother
decide to go shopping.
181
00:10:38,767 --> 00:10:42,269
Bad guys find out, kill the brothers,rob
ba the phony cash to coverheir tracks.
182
00:10:42,369 --> 00:10:44,170
Right, so they're thorough and ruthless.
183
00:10:45,570 --> 00:10:51,173
I don't know.The counterfeiters' M.O.- small bills, patience-that
suggests someone older, experienced,someone who lays low.
184
00:10:51,273 --> 00:10:52,374
- Yeah, not our
gunmen. - Mm-mm.
185
00:10:52,474 --> 00:10:54,575
They got high-end watches, weapons.
186
00:10:55,576 --> 00:10:56,976
I think we're dealing
with a multi-person crew.
187
00:10:57,077 --> 00:10:58,777
Yeah, and a multi
- personality crew.
188
00:10:59,077 --> 00:11:01,579
A group like that won't last
long,too much internal friction.
189
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:04,479
Kim says she thinks they've been working
together something like five years.
190
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:08,181
Well, maybe the younger guys are
working with an older counterfeiter.
191
00:11:08,582 --> 00:11:09,782
That'd be a good place to start.
192
00:11:10,383 --> 00:11:13,484
- Speaking of Agent Hall,everything okay with you guys?
- Yeah.
193
00:11:13,585 --> 00:11:16,386
- Couldn't help noticing.
- No, it's just a little interagency politics.
194
00:11:16,586 --> 00:11:18,587
- They're all worked out.
- All right.
195
00:11:19,687 --> 00:11:20,788
See you tomorrow. Okay.
196
00:11:26,891 --> 00:11:27,291
Hello?
197
00:11:28,392 --> 00:11:28,892
Hello.
198
00:11:29,793 --> 00:11:30,292
Hey.
199
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:33,194
What are you doing?
200
00:11:33,394 --> 00:11:40,897
I'm running a comparison between the counterfeit bills you found earlier
today and the older bills that that Secret Service agent lady gave us.
201
00:11:41,198 --> 00:11:47,301
There's a possibility that the small differences
may yield some data about their current operation.
202
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,503
By the way, I did not mean
to cause a problem earlier.
203
00:11:50,602 --> 00:11:52,003
You don't have to apologize r anything.
204
00:11:52,103 --> 00:11:53,904
Agent Hall and I are... are...
205
00:11:55,405 --> 00:11:56,427
I mean, we worked it out. So...
206
00:11:57,229 --> 00:11:58,934
You know if I left a box of stuff here?
207
00:12:00,137 --> 00:12:00,739
What kind of stuff?
208
00:12:01,842 --> 00:12:03,747
It's just this one box in particular.
209
00:12:03,847 --> 00:12:06,855
When I moved back from Albuquerque,I thought
I got everything, but it's not in my apartment.
210
00:12:06,955 --> 00:12:08,259
I can't remember where I put it.
211
00:12:08,459 --> 00:12:09,061
You check the garage?
212
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:09,662
Yeah.
213
00:12:11,367 --> 00:12:11,969
That you, Dad?
214
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:13,272
Hey, let me get the door.
215
00:12:14,074 --> 00:12:15,979
You must have some kind of sixth sense.
216
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:18,285
I buy rib-eye, and
you just materialize.
217
00:12:18,386 --> 00:12:19,388
Well, actually...
218
00:12:21,093 --> 00:12:21,594
You say rib-eye?
219
00:12:21,995 --> 00:12:22,497
Yeah.
220
00:12:22,998 --> 00:12:24,000
With, like, a baked potato?
221
00:12:26,006 --> 00:12:27,109
Oh, very nice, Charlie.
222
00:12:28,212 --> 00:12:29,214
How long is this going to be?
223
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:31,320
This is just for a few days.
224
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,726
I needed to look at this
as soon as I possiblcould.
225
00:12:34,228 --> 00:12:39,742
Now, the spiral patterns in money are
based on a technique called guilloche.
226
00:12:39,843 --> 00:12:46,460
It's like a wheel within a wheel within a wheel;a pattern
created by the additions and multiplications of nested sine waves.
227
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:50,270
Same was used by Faberge to
create those little famous eggs.
228
00:12:51,674 --> 00:12:52,376
Well, that explains it.
229
00:12:53,378 --> 00:12:54,882
What does this have to do with the case?
230
00:12:55,384 --> 00:12:56,587
I think they have a new artist.
231
00:12:56,888 --> 00:12:57,991
In fact, I'm sure of it.
232
00:12:58,291 --> 00:12:59,094
How can you tell that?
233
00:12:59,394 --> 00:13:02,102
I've been running a wavelet analysis
of these spirals I'm talking about.
234
00:13:02,202 --> 00:13:06,714
Mathematicians at Dartmouth use a similar process
to test authenticity of masterpiece paintings.
235
00:13:07,015 --> 00:13:07,616
Here, look it...
236
00:13:11,025 --> 00:13:16,540
Ten dollars. Right?Now we don't often think about
it,but someone must've drawn this design, right?
237
00:13:17,442 --> 00:13:17,843
You're right.
238
00:13:18,645 --> 00:13:22,255
I want you to think of that
artist as a runner on the beach.
239
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,371
He's leaving footprints,which
record every decision he makes;
240
00:13:28,672 --> 00:13:31,780
faster, slower, closer to
the water,farther away...
241
00:13:32,783 --> 00:13:34,688
Now these are counterfeit bills.
242
00:13:35,290 --> 00:13:37,796
A second artist trying
to copy the original...
243
00:13:37,896 --> 00:13:38,699
a second runner.
244
00:13:39,501 --> 00:13:44,113
Now, when that second runner tries to follow
the exact path as the first,it's impossible.
245
00:13:44,915 --> 00:13:49,928
Even if he's being careful,he can't match the
footprints without leaving evidence of himself.
246
00:13:50,129 --> 00:13:54,240
Different foot size, different
stride-that's how you spot a forgery.
247
00:13:55,042 --> 00:14:01,760
And when a third runner tries to match the footprints,he'll
leave evidence as well,but in a different way
248
00:14:02,261 --> 00:14:06,171
These two counterfeit bills
have two different footprints...
249
00:14:07,675 --> 00:14:08,778
Hence the new artist.
250
00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:13,290
- You find that artist...
- Charlie,we can't find the counterfeiter,let alone the artist.
251
00:14:13,792 --> 00:14:15,496
You keep on saying he's
an artist, this guy.
252
00:14:16,499 --> 00:14:19,206
He's not really an artist,
is he?He's more like a copier.
253
00:14:19,306 --> 00:14:23,217
It's actually, it's more like being able to
draw,you know, say, the Mona Lisa,freehand.
254
00:14:23,618 --> 00:14:24,019
Oh, I see.
255
00:14:24,119 --> 00:14:30,636
What I can do now, Don,is to take this
initial comparative analysis and...
256
00:14:36,953 --> 00:14:37,555
Hey, David, it's Don.
257
00:14:38,056 --> 00:14:41,465
Look, I want to expand the search, okay?Not
just counterfeiters, but art forgers.
258
00:14:42,769 --> 00:14:45,175
- Eight art forgers fit our profile.
- Great.
259
00:14:45,375 --> 00:14:49,286
- There's another case you need to look at. It stuck with me because it happened in Venice,in my neighborhood.
- Right.
260
00:14:49,386 --> 00:14:52,895
It was the weapons used that really
caught my attention.A dy was abducted
261
00:14:53,196 --> 00:15:00,616
One Margo Hughes.Confronted by to men armed with what
the LAPD report describes as "exotic machine pistols."
262
00:15:00,917 --> 00:15:03,223
- Just like our guys in
Steyr-TMPs. - I think so.
263
00:15:03,423 --> 00:15:04,827
- All right,I'll borrow this. Thanks.
- Okay.
264
00:15:06,732 --> 00:15:09,038
You think my wife's abduction
had something to do with her art?
265
00:15:09,339 --> 00:15:10,743
It's an angle we're investigating.
266
00:15:11,445 --> 00:15:12,848
These are some of her pieces right here.
267
00:15:13,149 --> 00:15:13,550
You mind?
268
00:15:13,851 --> 00:15:14,453
No, go ahead.
269
00:15:15,957 --> 00:15:16,959
Your wife did reproductions.
270
00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:19,466
Yeah, she calls it her
"Miniaturist Phase."
271
00:15:19,666 --> 00:15:22,875
Reduces classic portraits to
see if their power survives.
272
00:15:23,176 --> 00:15:24,178
Incredible detail...
273
00:15:24,981 --> 00:15:25,783
These are what, ink?
274
00:15:26,083 --> 00:15:26,685
Done freehand.
275
00:15:27,888 --> 00:15:29,091
Margo's amazing like that.
276
00:15:30,194 --> 00:15:30,896
Look, what's going on?
277
00:15:31,598 --> 00:15:36,411
- We're hoping to compare some of your wife's reproducons...
- We'd like to borrow some of your wife's work,if that's okay.
278
00:15:36,511 --> 00:15:39,820
I'll personally take responsibility that
you'll get it back and it'll be safe.
279
00:15:42,327 --> 00:15:42,627
Yeah.
280
00:15:43,329 --> 00:15:46,638
Look, you're here to pick out samples,not
talk about an open investigation.
281
00:15:46,738 --> 00:15:50,147
- Poor guy.He seemed so upset.
- Yeah, well, he's a potential suspect, Charlie.
282
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:52,353
Something bothering you?
283
00:15:52,554 --> 00:15:53,657
No. Nothing's bothering me.
284
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,163
Something seems to be bothering you.
285
00:15:56,264 --> 00:15:57,667
Yeah, well, there's
nothing bothering me.
286
00:16:06,290 --> 00:16:09,098
I've compared Margo's work
to the counterfeit $10 bills.
287
00:16:09,298 --> 00:16:13,910
These are two dimensional represtations of a
multi-dimensional graph actually plotted in 72 dimensions.
288
00:16:14,011 --> 00:16:16,417
Just simplify it, okay?Just
put it in layman's terms.
289
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:22,232
Bottom line-I've made comparisons with the works
of over a dozen known forgers and counterfeiters.
290
00:16:22,433 --> 00:16:23,837
None of them had any similarities.
291
00:16:24,037 --> 00:16:25,641
But these graphs match.
292
00:16:26,343 --> 00:16:27,045
They're identical.
293
00:16:27,246 --> 00:16:29,652
Margo Hughes drew this ten-dollar bill.
294
00:16:33,161 --> 00:16:34,966
I mean, she has been
missing for three weeks.
295
00:16:35,167 --> 00:16:38,576
Okay, and as far as we know,they've
only introduce their ten.
296
00:16:39,177 --> 00:16:41,183
If they follow pattern,
they'll release a 20 soon.
297
00:16:42,386 --> 00:16:44,792
What's your guesstimate of how long
it would take to draw one of these 20s?
298
00:16:45,594 --> 00:16:50,207
Hard to say,but if I were Margo
Hughes,I'd be taking my time.
299
00:16:50,307 --> 00:16:52,312
- As soon as they're done with her...
- She becomes a liability.
300
00:16:52,713 --> 00:16:53,916
They'll have no choice but to kill her.
301
00:16:55,420 --> 00:16:56,122
That's what I'm thinking.
302
00:17:09,658 --> 00:17:16,376
ok,?is the counterfeiters kidnapped Margo Hughes
to get her to make a template to make phony money.
303
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:17,780
Right? All agreed?
304
00:17:18,782 --> 00:17:24,598
Now my problem is if we don't break some kind of lead soon
and find these guys,I don't think we're saving this woman.
305
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,104
Great. Thanks.
306
00:17:27,455 --> 00:17:30,363
Okay, we told banks to watch for the
bogus tens.They've been showing up.
307
00:17:30,804 --> 00:17:34,414
We have Bakersfield, San
Bernardino and Palm Springs.
308
00:17:34,715 --> 00:17:39,227
That's great.So we find out who's spending it
and work our way back,the same way we work drugs
309
00:17:39,427 --> 00:17:42,235
The problem is, the banks can't link
the bills to a specific depositor.
310
00:17:42,435 --> 00:17:43,939
They're in circulation and
there's no way to trace them.
311
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:47,549
People shop Patterns can be
quantified into equations.
312
00:17:48,752 --> 00:17:51,860
The Secret Service and the Treasury Department
have been working on this problem for decades.
313
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:57,776
Predicting money flow,tracing counterfeit in
circulation-it's unpredictable; there are too many variables.
314
00:17:57,976 --> 00:18:03,391
at makes it challenging, not impossible.Right now,
the dispersal seems fairly contained.And that works
315
00:18:04,594 --> 00:18:06,198
Then what do you need from us?
316
00:18:06,298 --> 00:18:12,014
Data. Lots of it.Everything from where these bills are turning up
- and not just from banks,from stores, from restaurants,
317
00:18:12,415 --> 00:18:13,919
I'd like to follow the
evidence from the warehouse.
318
00:18:14,019 --> 00:18:17,428
The lab was able to reconstruct an ink sample
from the scrapings you took off the floor.
319
00:18:17,929 --> 00:18:20,636
- All right. Good.
- Let me get you a list of known counterfeiters.
320
00:18:20,737 --> 00:18:24,246
I find that even the one's who're retired
tend to keep up on the latest technology.
321
00:18:25,650 --> 00:18:27,856
We're looking for
counterfeit ten dollar bills.
322
00:18:27,956 --> 00:18:32,468
Now, they've shown up in three geographic
clusters.We're gog to isolate the one in San Bernardino.
323
00:18:32,668 --> 00:18:37,682
That means checking into grocery stores, gas
stations,restaurants, just door-to-door canvassing.
324
00:18:38,183 --> 00:18:40,389
The bills you're looking
for are good, not perfect.
325
00:18:40,489 --> 00:18:43,196
This sheet details some of the
differences to help you ID them.
326
00:18:44,099 --> 00:18:46,004
Find a bill, call it
in immediately, please.
327
00:18:46,104 --> 00:18:50,917
The more we find, the faster we find them,the better our
chances of figuring out where the next ones will come from.
328
00:18:51,017 --> 00:18:54,827
And I know I don't need to reiterate this,but
there is a 24-year-old woman's life at stake here.
329
00:18:55,429 --> 00:18:56,632
So let's go. Thank you.
330
00:19:27,013 --> 00:19:34,131
You can move your San Bernardino search grid
south of Foothill and west of Mount Vernon.
331
00:19:34,332 --> 00:19:34,733
Okay?
332
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,862
Exactly.
333
00:19:36,263 --> 00:19:37,367
Yeah. Bye.
334
00:19:37,668 --> 00:19:39,774
Charlie, I wish I understood
what we're doing here.
335
00:19:40,577 --> 00:19:42,182
It's a probability algorithm.
336
00:19:43,285 --> 00:19:44,388
That doesn't help me.
337
00:19:44,688 --> 00:19:47,999
The bills start at
zero-zero-the counterfeiters.
338
00:19:52,111 --> 00:19:53,516
We start here-
339
00:19:55,220 --> 00:19:56,124
point XY.
340
00:19:57,327 --> 00:20:06,153
As we locate each bill,we get a better idea
of the dispersion,a better idea of where
341
00:20:06,354 --> 00:20:06,655
Right.
342
00:20:06,661 --> 00:20:08,970
You're not going to
look in the next room...
343
00:20:09,070 --> 00:20:12,382
Or certainly not on the
ceiling, or in the parking lot.
344
00:20:12,582 --> 00:20:16,094
So the more bills you find in a given
area,the closer you are to the counterfeiters?
345
00:20:16,195 --> 00:20:17,599
It's not just the number of bills.
346
00:20:18,102 --> 00:20:20,208
I assign values based on the purchases.
347
00:20:20,911 --> 00:20:27,836
So, for instance, two or three bills showing up in a tire shop
may hold less significance than a single bill in a corner market.
348
00:20:28,237 --> 00:20:31,146
Someone may travel way
across town for tires.
349
00:20:31,448 --> 00:20:35,161
But a quart of milk, carton of
cigarettes,that they'd get closer to home.
350
00:20:35,562 --> 00:20:36,465
I think we both get it.
351
00:20:37,469 --> 00:20:39,475
Yes. You and your brher are a lot alike.
352
00:20:41,182 --> 00:20:41,583
You think so?
353
00:20:42,687 --> 00:20:44,594
Most people can't get
over how different we are.
354
00:20:45,196 --> 00:20:54,328
Well, yeah, the interests are pretty different,but the approach-this
one part exuberance, two parts obsession-that's pretty much
355
00:20:56,234 --> 00:21:06,570
When Don and I first moved in together,we had to
have separate CD racks because I never put mine
356
00:21:08,277 --> 00:21:09,380
You and Don lived together?
357
00:21:10,584 --> 00:21:11,287
In Albuquerque.
358
00:21:14,699 --> 00:21:15,702
You didn't know? He didn't...
359
00:21:17,207 --> 00:21:18,813
You know, we lost
touch for a while, so...
360
00:21:19,716 --> 00:21:22,928
He may very well have told
me,um, but, uh, you know what?
361
00:21:23,629 --> 00:21:27,242
I didn't put that Kim together
with, uh, you know,you, Kim.
362
00:21:29,650 --> 00:21:30,554
Aw, it's all right.
363
00:21:31,156 --> 00:21:32,059
I know how Don is.
364
00:21:39,586 --> 00:21:40,690
Eddie Zakarian?
365
00:21:48,817 --> 00:21:49,821
Counterfeiting, right?
366
00:21:50,524 --> 00:21:54,337
Anytime I see a Fed badge,I know it's
not about undercollecting sales tax.
367
00:21:54,437 --> 00:21:56,745
I guess that comes from having
a criminal record like yours.
368
00:21:56,946 --> 00:21:59,957
No, it comes from having been
one of the best in the business.
369
00:22:00,157 --> 00:22:02,666
But I'm not in the business anymore.
370
00:22:02,766 --> 00:22:04,473
Haven't been for 25 years.
371
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,282
You people need to put it
in a newsletter or something.
372
00:22:07,583 --> 00:22:10,292
What do we have to thank for
this inspirational rehabilitation?
373
00:22:10,494 --> 00:22:12,701
Fatherhood. Keeps you out of prison.
374
00:22:13,804 --> 00:22:14,307
These two yours?
375
00:22:15,511 --> 00:22:16,012
Yeah.
376
00:22:16,815 --> 00:22:19,825
Goes back a way though,different time.
377
00:22:19,934 --> 00:22:23,752
Before everybody in the world
had a computer,became a printer.
378
00:22:25,762 --> 00:22:26,465
What do you make of this?
379
00:22:31,589 --> 00:22:32,091
Nice.
380
00:22:32,494 --> 00:22:33,297
Near perfect.
381
00:22:35,005 --> 00:22:35,809
It's O.V.I.
382
00:22:36,612 --> 00:22:37,215
O.V.I.?
383
00:22:37,819 --> 00:22:39,526
Optically variable ink.
384
00:22:40,631 --> 00:22:42,942
Takes three different
inks to print money, right?
385
00:22:43,244 --> 00:22:47,865
Black for the front, green for the back and then there's this
- O.V.I.
386
00:22:48,267 --> 00:22:51,483
It changes color from green to
black,depending on how you look at it.
387
00:22:52,286 --> 00:22:53,090
Who could've mixed it?
388
00:22:53,492 --> 00:22:54,095
Other than me?
389
00:22:55,401 --> 00:22:56,707
Try Marty Blanchard.
390
00:22:57,209 --> 00:22:59,922
It'd explain why s shop's
got so much new equipment.
391
00:23:00,324 --> 00:23:00,726
Mm.
392
00:23:01,229 --> 00:23:01,630
What?
393
00:23:02,133 --> 00:23:03,438
His name came out pretty fast.
394
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,452
Oh, I'm sorry-honor
among thieves, right?
395
00:23:07,156 --> 00:23:10,070
Listen, back in the day,who do
you think gave me up, anyway?
396
00:23:10,673 --> 00:23:12,682
What goes around comes around.
397
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:28,657
Um, you know, I'm, I'm
beginning to wonder, uh,
398
00:23:28,858 --> 00:23:31,269
if I properly weiged
the exchange velocity...
399
00:23:31,369 --> 00:23:33,580
Look, don't, don't do that.Don't second
- guess yourself.
400
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,097
Every time we tighten the search grids, more
bills show up.So jt be patient, all right?
401
00:23:37,197 --> 00:23:39,307
Just sit tight, let
us do our job, please.
402
00:23:40,412 --> 00:23:42,924
So you and, uh... you and Kim, Kim...
403
00:23:43,125 --> 00:23:43,628
Kim and you...
404
00:23:45,737 --> 00:23:46,039
Yeah.
405
00:23:48,852 --> 00:23:51,062
Is that a, um... that a serious thing?
406
00:23:55,986 --> 00:23:56,287
Yeah.
407
00:23:59,602 --> 00:24:01,109
Seems kind of weird I
didn't know about it.
408
00:24:02,315 --> 00:24:03,923
I don't know who you
dated three years ago.
409
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:05,932
I got a hit.
410
00:24:07,138 --> 00:24:08,846
Dive bar in our San Bernadino grid.
411
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:11,157
Cash register turned up
seven of our counterfeits.
412
00:24:11,257 --> 00:24:12,362
- Seven?! - I'm
sorry- seven?!
413
00:24:12,563 --> 00:24:13,166
Yeah.
414
00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:19,295
Statistically, one or two bills fit into the pattern sprea
Someone with seven, spending them in a local neighborhood
415
00:24:19,395 --> 00:24:24,620
Guy drops 70 bucks in a dive bar,he's either buying rounds
for the house,or he's wasted off his ass.Either way, he's
416
00:24:24,821 --> 00:24:25,423
Right the first time.
417
00:24:25,725 --> 00:24:30,046
Bartender said he remembered a regular guy in last
night, buying everybody drinks, playing Mr. Big Shot
418
00:24:30,648 --> 00:24:31,151
Lance Cummings.
419
00:24:33,462 --> 00:24:34,868
I'm gonna pay Mr. Cummings a visit.
420
00:24:35,471 --> 00:24:36,174
I'll take the ride.
421
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:37,681
- You sit tight, all right?
- Sure.
422
00:24:42,705 --> 00:24:43,308
Hey, Charlie?
423
00:24:46,824 --> 00:24:48,231
You sure you want to be
looking through that stuff?
424
00:24:51,044 --> 00:24:53,958
Dad,do you recognize this lady?
425
00:24:57,172 --> 00:24:59,082
Uh, yeah, it's Kim, isn't it?
426
00:24:59,821 --> 00:25:00,526
That's Kim Hall.
427
00:25:00,626 --> 00:25:01,029
Yeah.
428
00:25:02,136 --> 00:25:05,960
She and Don lived together in New Mexico
and, uh, he never told me about it.
429
00:25:07,067 --> 00:25:07,974
Well, you know your brother.
430
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:09,483
Yeah.
431
00:25:12,905 --> 00:25:14,616
'52 Ford, right?
432
00:25:15,823 --> 00:25:16,428
Fifty-three.
433
00:25:17,434 --> 00:25:18,843
My dad had an old one when I was a kid.
434
00:25:20,454 --> 00:25:21,963
Same engine, four-barrel carb...
435
00:25:23,774 --> 00:25:25,586
He shouldn't have gotten rid of it.
436
00:25:25,989 --> 00:25:26,593
Do you want something?
437
00:25:27,298 --> 00:25:28,001
Oh, yeah, sorry.
438
00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:30,417
I'm, uh, Agent Eppes with the FBI.
439
00:25:31,021 --> 00:25:31,725
This is Agent Hall.
440
00:25:32,530 --> 00:25:33,537
You were around Wiley's last night?
441
00:25:35,047 --> 00:25:36,254
Mighta been...
442
00:25:36,356 --> 00:25:38,871
Some counterfeit money showed up
in the register.Ten-dollar bills.
443
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,393
Bartender seemed to notice
you spending ten-dollar bills.
444
00:25:43,702 --> 00:25:45,212
That bartender was drunker than I was.
445
00:25:46,722 --> 00:25:48,634
I had nothing but twenties.I
remember 'cause I, uh,
446
00:25:48,734 --> 00:25:49,641
I just hit the ATM.
447
00:25:50,646 --> 00:25:51,754
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
448
00:25:52,458 --> 00:25:52,760
Okay.
449
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:09,165
He got on the phone 30
seconds after you left.
450
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:11,682
Kevin, what the hell
are you thinking, man?
451
00:26:11,883 --> 00:26:13,191
You paid me with counterfeit!
452
00:26:13,494 --> 00:26:14,499
What're you talking about?
453
00:26:14,902 --> 00:26:16,110
The FBI was just here.
454
00:26:16,915 --> 00:26:18,526
All right. Don't do anything stupid.
455
00:26:18,928 --> 00:26:20,601
You calling me stupid,
you son of a bitch?!
456
00:26:20,601 --> 00:26:27,956
So, after two minutes and 48 seconds of profanity,the upshot
is that Cummings and two other guys hijacked a truck full
457
00:26:28,258 --> 00:26:30,776
And the guy who hired them
to pull the hijacking job...
458
00:26:30,878 --> 00:26:31,884
Paid them with counterfeit.
459
00:26:32,389 --> 00:26:32,792
Right.
460
00:26:33,296 --> 00:26:34,504
The guy he's talking to
- Kevin...
461
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:39,644
Kevin Merriman.He's done time
for extortion,interstate fraud.
462
00:26:40,147 --> 00:26:41,960
He's a real
jack-of-all-trades.
463
00:26:43,170 --> 00:26:44,580
We traced his number.
464
00:26:44,681 --> 00:26:46,293
It's a 213 area code.
465
00:26:46,798 --> 00:26:47,604
Los Angeles.
466
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:49,014
Back we go.
467
00:26:50,424 --> 00:26:53,548
I wonder if every print shop in
L.A.is run by a former counterfeiter.
468
00:26:54,253 --> 00:26:55,966
Zakarian said Blanchard should be here.
469
00:26:56,268 --> 00:26:57,376
Likes to work at night.
470
00:27:04,831 --> 00:27:07,149
Is it just me, or is there something
going on between Don and Kim Hall?
471
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:11,453
Did you know that you always evade
a question with a silent shrug?
472
00:27:13,174 --> 00:27:13,880
There it is again.
473
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,333
- You know, I-I hate it when you
profile me. - I'm not going to stop.
474
00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:23,392
Redgrave told me she
used to be with Bureau.
475
00:27:23,494 --> 00:27:25,012
It was about three years
ago; Albuquerque office.
476
00:27:25,314 --> 00:27:26,023
So she worked for Don.
477
00:27:26,934 --> 00:27:28,654
Yeah, she, she used to work for him.
478
00:27:29,970 --> 00:27:30,940
And, you know...
479
00:27:31,851 --> 00:27:32,154
Yeah?
480
00:27:32,963 --> 00:27:34,074
Can I be out of this now?
481
00:27:35,798 --> 00:27:36,609
Saved by the bell.
482
00:27:39,044 --> 00:27:39,653
Lake.
483
00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:40,566
Where're you at?
484
00:27:40,770 --> 00:27:41,886
Working a lead on the ink.
485
00:27:42,089 --> 00:27:43,712
Old-timer named Martin Blanchard.
486
00:27:44,219 --> 00:27:46,655
You know what, trying dropping
a name, Kevin Merriman.
487
00:27:46,858 --> 00:27:49,597
Looks like he supplied the counterfeit
that went on to San Bernardino.
488
00:27:49,801 --> 00:27:51,425
Hold on a second. This
might be Blanchard now.
489
00:27:56,498 --> 00:27:57,208
Martin Blanchard?
490
00:27:59,847 --> 00:28:02,992
- Something I can for you?
- I'm Special Agent David Sinclair, FBI.
491
00:28:03,296 --> 00:28:04,413
David! Gun!
492
00:28:10,298 --> 00:28:11,212
Terry, what's going on?
493
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:12,631
Terry, talk to me.
494
00:28:24,027 --> 00:28:25,549
It's just a bruise. I'm fine.
495
00:28:25,955 --> 00:28:26,767
Better than Blanchard.
496
00:28:27,731 --> 00:28:28,746
Anything on the shooters?
497
00:28:29,182 --> 00:28:30,299
Pretty sure it's our guys.
498
00:28:30,501 --> 00:28:31,922
Same Steyr-TMP shells.
499
00:28:32,328 --> 00:28:34,255
I mean, obviously, they didn't
want us talking to Blanchard.
500
00:28:34,459 --> 00:28:38,517
We should run down Blanchard's past associates,see if
we can track any of them back to the counterfeiters.
501
00:28:38,721 --> 00:28:40,039
Kim's already got a couple agents on it.
502
00:28:40,142 --> 00:28:42,373
I think, if you're up for it,
you should go at Kevin Merriman.
503
00:28:42,476 --> 00:28:45,114
See you can find out where he got
that bogus cash to pay his crew.
504
00:28:45,215 --> 00:28:46,534
I'm up for it. Let's go.
505
00:28:53,027 --> 00:28:56,376
Lance Cummings is under arrest in San
Bernadino and very annoyed with you.
506
00:28:56,782 --> 00:29:03,886
With his testimony about your involvementn the truck hijackings
and the stolen goods in your house,I'm assuming your attorney wants
507
00:29:04,697 --> 00:29:06,219
We want the counterfeiters
more than we want you.
508
00:29:06,626 --> 00:29:08,148
Thanks but no thanks.
509
00:29:09,264 --> 00:29:11,597
Hey, you're a predicate felon.
510
00:29:12,003 --> 00:29:13,729
These are not light charges against you.
511
00:29:14,134 --> 00:29:16,773
Take a step back and
look at the big picture.
512
00:29:17,178 --> 00:29:18,903
I am looking at the big picture.
513
00:29:19,410 --> 00:29:21,745
A live prisoner versus a dead rat.
514
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:23,267
Hey.
515
00:29:24,891 --> 00:29:25,296
How's it going?
516
00:29:26,615 --> 00:29:27,731
They've been there for a couple hours.
517
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:28,646
Yeah.
518
00:29:30,421 --> 00:29:32,145
Not getting anything we need.
519
00:29:33,567 --> 00:29:36,712
He gave us the truck heists and the bogus
bills,but he won't name the counterfeiters.
520
00:29:37,118 --> 00:29:38,640
He's afraid they're gonna
find him and kill him.
521
00:29:39,248 --> 00:29:39,959
He's probably right.
522
00:29:40,263 --> 00:29:42,800
Oh, guys, I really think we're
running out of time on Margo Hughes.
523
00:29:42,902 --> 00:29:44,322
How are your people
doing on the dead printer?
524
00:29:44,628 --> 00:29:45,844
- They're digging.
- Yeah?
525
00:29:46,251 --> 00:29:47,873
Anything we can do to get
them to dig a little faster?
526
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,268
They're doing their jobs, Don.
527
00:29:50,684 --> 00:29:52,402
I can go back in, try and work him.
528
00:29:53,109 --> 00:29:53,817
Think it'll do any good?
529
00:29:54,929 --> 00:29:55,333
No.
530
00:29:55,737 --> 00:29:57,759
Agent Eppes, there's
someone waiting to see you.
531
00:29:58,163 --> 00:29:58,972
Jordan Hughes.
532
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:00,387
All right.
533
00:30:09,585 --> 00:30:14,234
Agent Eppes... Agent Eppes,I was wondering if
you found anything- anything at all on my wife-
534
00:30:14,334 --> 00:30:18,378
Mr. Hughes, I'm sorry, we are not at the point in
the investigation where I can share any details; no.
535
00:30:18,478 --> 00:30:20,905
- I can tell you, we're doing everything...
- Humanly possible?!
536
00:30:23,027 --> 00:30:23,330
Yeah.
537
00:30:23,634 --> 00:30:25,554
They've been telling
me that for 22 days.
538
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,091
Th-The police haven't called in
seven.My wife's family won't talk to me.
539
00:30:29,192 --> 00:30:33,240
All I do is sit home, you know, just
sit at home,wondering what's going on.
540
00:30:33,340 --> 00:30:37,551
I understand. I'm sure it's very difficult.I
hope to be able to tell you something very soon.
541
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:42,564
You know something, don't you?
542
00:30:43,667 --> 00:30:46,575
Hey, if you could just tell me that
there's some progress, at least...
543
00:30:47,477 --> 00:30:49,382
Okay, there is some progress.
544
00:30:51,789 --> 00:30:53,393
I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you more.
545
00:30:57,805 --> 00:31:02,116
Mr. Hughes,I see you
got your wife's art back.
546
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,640
I liked the way she wrote, uh,
"Jordan" in all of her pieces.
547
00:31:07,361 --> 00:31:09,081
I'm surprised you saw
that.No one ever has.
548
00:31:09,688 --> 00:31:11,307
I was looking a little
closer than most people.
549
00:31:14,141 --> 00:31:17,074
She spent so much time
alone in her studio...
550
00:31:19,099 --> 00:31:20,414
it was her way of talking to me.
551
00:31:42,472 --> 00:31:43,382
Hey, Charlie.
552
00:31:43,686 --> 00:31:44,091
Hi.
553
00:31:44,395 --> 00:31:45,103
Look who's here.
554
00:31:46,317 --> 00:31:46,925
Hi.
555
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:48,847
Hey, Amita.
556
00:31:50,567 --> 00:31:52,692
Wow, talk about inflation.
557
00:31:54,918 --> 00:31:58,662
I just wanted to see how that robbery
case turned out,the one that I did the
558
00:31:59,269 --> 00:32:03,620
Same case
- turned out to be counterfeiting,and there may be a hidden message in this bill.
559
00:32:04,328 --> 00:32:06,858
What kind of message would
counterfeiters put on their money?
560
00:32:06,959 --> 00:32:07,971
Not counterfeiters-
561
00:32:08,072 --> 00:32:10,501
the artist they kidnapped
to copy the bills for them.
562
00:32:11,107 --> 00:32:13,839
She put hidden messages
to her husband in her art.
563
00:32:13,941 --> 00:32:16,331
Maybe she put something in here
to tell us where they've got her.
564
00:32:16,331 --> 00:32:17,123
Interesting.
565
00:32:18,907 --> 00:32:19,997
Well, have fun, you two.
566
00:32:22,177 --> 00:32:23,960
Well, what about these
points that you've marked?
567
00:32:24,653 --> 00:32:27,527
Oh, intentional flaws
- clues, I think.
568
00:32:27,626 --> 00:32:30,498
I've found 27 flaws all
along this watermark.
569
00:32:31,886 --> 00:32:33,966
It looks like you've gone over
the surface pretty thoroughly.
570
00:32:34,066 --> 00:32:35,353
I've checked both front and back.
571
00:32:37,335 --> 00:32:41,130
In combinatorics,we often
consider the angle of observation.
572
00:32:41,130 --> 00:32:42,072
Have you done that yet?
573
00:32:54,034 --> 00:32:55,309
I found Margo Hughes's message.
574
00:32:55,887 --> 00:32:57,934
It was hidden in the counterfeit bills!
575
00:33:06,741 --> 00:33:07,952
She's now talking to us.
576
00:33:12,354 --> 00:33:18,033
She's placed flaws in this watermark,that
are hard to find, but easy to isolate.
577
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:19,627
Now, she needed to be careful.
578
00:33:19,727 --> 00:33:26,601
She didn't want the counterfeiters seeing these
flaws, so she put together a graphic projection that
579
00:33:27,597 --> 00:33:30,985
Looking straight on, what does this look
like?Just a bunch of different thick lines.
580
00:33:31,981 --> 00:33:34,771
Angle it, get an edge on view...
581
00:33:35,070 --> 00:33:35,867
It makes a word.
582
00:33:36,067 --> 00:33:40,251
Using the same principle, I was able to mathematically
perform the same process with the watermark.
583
00:33:43,737 --> 00:33:46,427
I unfortunately just haven't
been able to crack this code yet.
584
00:33:46,826 --> 00:33:48,918
1738... 52.
585
00:33:49,715 --> 00:33:50,811
Look, maybe it's not a code.
586
00:33:52,006 --> 00:33:54,597
We don't know it's a code, right? It
could be something much more simple.
587
00:33:54,797 --> 00:33:56,190
Let me see Zakarian's file.
588
00:33:56,390 --> 00:33:56,888
Who's that?
589
00:33:57,287 --> 00:33:59,578
He's an old-time counterfeiter.
Terry and I spoke with him.
590
00:34:04,174 --> 00:34:05,677
Here. I thought the
number sounded familiar.
591
00:34:05,777 --> 00:34:09,983
- Zakarian owns a warehouse in Highland Park.The address is 173852nd Street.
- Whoa.
592
00:34:10,084 --> 00:34:10,985
Hold on, Terry.
593
00:34:11,786 --> 00:34:17,696
- Remember what I said about the
counterfeiters' profile being an older influence,
594
00:34:17,997 --> 00:34:21,502
- The family bond would explain what's kept them together for so long.
- All right. Let's pick 'em up.
595
00:34:31,619 --> 00:34:32,320
Come on!
596
00:34:33,622 --> 00:34:35,125
What is this?!
597
00:34:35,325 --> 00:34:37,729
This is your sons
holding a woman hostage.
598
00:34:38,130 --> 00:34:40,132
This is six homicides.
599
00:34:40,834 --> 00:34:43,539
I'm totally lost
here.You've seen my record.
600
00:34:43,940 --> 00:34:48,947
- Even back in the day,I was strictly nonviolent.
- Maybe you are,but your sons aren't.
601
00:34:49,348 --> 00:34:50,150
What's it gonna be?
602
00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:53,254
u gave us Blanchard's name, then you had your
sons kill him before we could talk to him.
603
00:34:53,355 --> 00:34:55,959
You were hoping we'd pin this
all on Blanchard. Case closed.
604
00:34:56,059 --> 00:34:59,064
- That's it.I'm done talking to you.
- We know about your warehouse.
605
00:35:00,967 --> 00:35:04,973
Matter of fact, right now,we have an
FBI SWAT team moving into position.
606
00:35:05,274 --> 00:35:07,577
Lot of guns, Eddie.
Sharpshooters.The whole deal.
607
00:35:09,881 --> 00:35:10,760
I was trying to give them
a stake for the future...
608
00:35:11,967 --> 00:35:15,890
- slow, patient, small bills,staying under the radar...
- They wanted a faster payoff...
609
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:20,214
I tried to tell them-that's not how
you make a long career in this business.
610
00:35:20,918 --> 00:35:22,326
They have no patience...
611
00:35:22,728 --> 00:35:24,136
Our team is going to hit the warehouse.
612
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:27,555
You know better than anybody, your sons
are going to die if you don't help us.
613
00:35:30,572 --> 00:35:32,685
Four men. Zakarian's sons and two more.
614
00:35:32,987 --> 00:35:34,495
All armed, automatic weapons.
615
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,317
They're holding Margo Hughes on
the rooftop level of the warehouse.
616
00:35:39,726 --> 00:35:41,636
A basic square oriented to the north.
617
00:35:44,552 --> 00:35:46,665
Approaching from the
south,you'll see windows.
618
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,498
Directly ahead of you,near the
southwest corner,is the first entrance.
619
00:35:53,504 --> 00:35:55,515
Inside is a kitchen and living area.
620
00:36:03,964 --> 00:36:05,070
I don't see the hostage.
621
00:36:05,573 --> 00:36:06,477
You stay here.
622
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:07,081
Right.
623
00:36:09,567 --> 00:36:10,367
Stand by for my go.
624
00:36:16,772 --> 00:36:17,473
Please, no.
625
00:36:18,373 --> 00:36:19,874
I've done everything you asked.
626
00:36:20,775 --> 00:36:23,677
- Please.
- On me. Three,two, one. Execute.
627
00:36:29,381 --> 00:36:30,782
Get down!
628
00:36:33,584 --> 00:36:35,386
Drop the gun!Drop dead!
629
00:36:36,586 --> 00:36:36,887
Follow me!
630
00:36:38,087 --> 00:36:38,587
Clear right!
631
00:36:38,888 --> 00:36:39,489
Clear left!
632
00:36:40,389 --> 00:36:40,990
All clear!
633
00:36:41,590 --> 00:36:42,290
All clear.
634
00:36:43,391 --> 00:36:45,292
I got the hostage.The hostage is safe.
635
00:36:46,093 --> 00:36:46,694
You're going to be all right.
636
00:36:46,993 --> 00:36:50,496
My name is Don Eppes.I'm a special
agent with the FBI. It's over.
637
00:36:50,696 --> 00:36:51,997
You all right? You hurt?
638
00:36:59,503 --> 00:37:02,804
Hey, Terry. We got Margo.She's
alive.Call her husband.
639
00:37:05,607 --> 00:37:06,307
Hey!
640
00:37:08,709 --> 00:37:09,409
Oh, God!
641
00:37:15,814 --> 00:37:16,714
That's the good part.
642
00:37:19,417 --> 00:37:19,716
Yup.
643
00:37:21,318 --> 00:37:22,718
I forgot how much I missed that.
644
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,620
It's a good thing, right?
645
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:25,721
Yeah.
646
00:37:30,224 --> 00:37:31,725
Everyone's already at Kinsella's.
647
00:37:32,425 --> 00:37:35,328
Figure the Secret Service owes the
FBI a few rounds if you want to come.
648
00:37:37,129 --> 00:37:39,431
Well, actually, I got a
bit of work to do here, so.
649
00:37:41,532 --> 00:37:42,033
Okay.
650
00:37:43,534 --> 00:37:45,234
We are going to trip over
each other again, Don.
651
00:37:46,836 --> 00:37:49,437
If you and Terry can be
partners,we can at least try to...
652
00:37:51,939 --> 00:37:53,941
Yeah. Definitely.
653
00:37:55,842 --> 00:37:56,643
Okay. Well...
654
00:37:57,643 --> 00:37:58,344
First rounds on me.
655
00:38:00,645 --> 00:38:01,947
- Good night,Terry.
- Good night.
656
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:04,737
More interagency politics?
657
00:38:23,487 --> 00:38:24,089
Don?
658
00:38:26,896 --> 00:38:27,498
Charlie?
659
00:38:29,703 --> 00:38:30,305
You all right?
660
00:38:33,113 --> 00:38:33,514
Hey.
661
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,923
I found this box.
662
00:38:37,324 --> 00:38:37,524
I thought I'd...
663
00:38:37,825 --> 00:38:39,429
What? Bring it over
at 2:00 in the morning?
664
00:38:40,532 --> 00:38:40,933
Yeah.
665
00:38:41,735 --> 00:38:43,540
What did you do? You opened it?
666
00:38:43,841 --> 00:38:44,844
What is with you, man?
667
00:38:46,448 --> 00:38:48,553
Even when we were kids, you were
always going through my stuff.
668
00:38:49,857 --> 00:38:50,960
You always had cool stuff.
669
00:39:01,087 --> 00:39:03,192
Seems like you left a lot of
