1
00:00:30,165 --> 00:00:33,120
Hey, Pete,
I think I got something.
2
00:00:33,155 --> 00:00:34,848
You better call it in.
3
00:00:42,563 --> 00:00:43,894
Agent Eppes?
4
00:00:43,929 --> 00:00:45,461
Yeah.
5
00:00:46,187 --> 00:00:47,784
- David Sinclair.
- How you doing?
6
00:00:47,819 --> 00:00:49,963
John Reacher.
I'm with the bureau's security division.
7
00:00:49,998 --> 00:00:53,139
Victim was a computer science
researcher for a private think tank.
8
00:00:53,174 --> 00:00:55,813
High-level national
security clearance.
9
00:00:56,396 --> 00:00:57,983
Who's that?
10
00:00:58,018 --> 00:01:00,989
This is Robert Oliver.
11
00:01:01,024 --> 00:01:02,736
He's the CEO of the Lorman group.
12
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:04,088
How are you? Don Eppes, FBI.
13
00:01:04,123 --> 00:01:05,267
Hi.
14
00:01:05,302 --> 00:01:07,384
- The Lorman group is the think tank?
- That's right.
15
00:01:07,419 --> 00:01:10,570
They have a number of contracts with us
for classified government projects.
16
00:01:10,605 --> 00:01:12,625
So the victim was one
of your employees?
17
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:16,120
Yes. Uh, Dr. Hoke was
one of our senior researchers.
18
00:01:16,155 --> 00:01:18,107
- I'll check on the body.
- All right.
19
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:21,884
Any reason to think the murder had anything
to do with the work he was doing for you?
20
00:01:21,919 --> 00:01:23,582
It's possible.
21
00:01:25,442 --> 00:01:27,384
Those bureau techs?
22
00:01:27,419 --> 00:01:29,129
No, they're with my company.
23
00:01:29,164 --> 00:01:30,695
What are you doing?
They're civilians.
24
00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:32,935
They have security clearance.
25
00:01:35,029 --> 00:01:37,444
Gentlemen, back away
from that computer.
26
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:39,934
Agent Eppes, can I talk
to you for a minute?
27
00:01:41,511 --> 00:01:44,206
I have an obligation to secure
the contents of Dr. Hoke's computer.
28
00:01:44,241 --> 00:01:46,407
Well, I got an obligation
to investigate a murder,
29
00:01:46,442 --> 00:01:50,116
and whatever these guys are doing,
they're contaminating my crime scene.
30
00:01:50,377 --> 00:01:51,589
- Your crime scene?
- That's right.
31
00:01:51,624 --> 00:01:52,767
Unless there's something I don't know,
32
00:01:52,802 --> 00:01:56,601
my homicide investigation's gonna take
priority over your security concerns.
33
00:01:56,636 --> 00:01:58,360
Don.
34
00:02:00,741 --> 00:02:02,225
We've got multiple stab wounds.
35
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:06,071
The coroner's investigator says
he's been dead for almost two days.
36
00:02:06,756 --> 00:02:10,598
What was that about? / He was gonna
let those guys take data off that computer.
37
00:02:10,633 --> 00:02:12,603
Well, I think somebody beat them to it.
38
00:02:12,638 --> 00:02:14,626
According to what I heard,
the files were already erased.
39
00:02:14,661 --> 00:02:16,614
All right, we're gonna start with that.
Nobody touches it.
40
00:02:16,649 --> 00:02:18,426
All right? Let's get
our people on it immediately.
41
00:02:18,461 --> 00:02:20,255
All right. Adam, Carter.
42
00:02:25,482 --> 00:02:27,991
To predict weather
43
00:02:28,026 --> 00:02:31,156
To tell time...
44
00:02:31,191 --> 00:02:34,287
to handle money...
45
00:02:34,322 --> 00:02:37,523
Math is more than formulas and equations...
46
00:02:37,558 --> 00:02:40,690
It's logic...
47
00:02:40,725 --> 00:02:42,761
It's rationality...
48
00:02:43,582 --> 00:02:46,779
It's using your mind to solve the biggest mysteries we know
49
00:02:56,828 --> 00:02:58,402
Okay, well, the first thing is,
50
00:02:58,437 --> 00:03:00,753
whoever wiped the information
off of this hard drive
51
00:03:00,788 --> 00:03:03,070
- didn't make a copy of it.
- You sure about that?
52
00:03:03,105 --> 00:03:04,420
Absolutely.
53
00:03:04,455 --> 00:03:06,810
Hoke had an event
log on his computer.
54
00:03:06,845 --> 00:03:09,131
Recorded the wipe,
but no duplication.
55
00:03:09,166 --> 00:03:12,369
And whoever did do the wipe
knew exactly what they were doing.
56
00:03:12,404 --> 00:03:15,128
This code's been flipped
hundreds of thousands of times.
57
00:03:15,163 --> 00:03:16,424
Wait. Define flipped.
58
00:03:16,459 --> 00:03:18,702
A computer's language boils down
to binary code.
59
00:03:18,737 --> 00:03:22,497
Every bit of information is
a specific sequence of zeroes and ones,
60
00:03:22,532 --> 00:03:24,920
like coins, all heads or tails.
61
00:03:24,955 --> 00:03:27,016
When you wipe the data,
you don't really erase it.
62
00:03:27,051 --> 00:03:29,043
You just start flipping
the coins back and forth.
63
00:03:29,078 --> 00:03:33,111
That destroys the code and renders
the information pretty much unintelligible.
64
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:36,118
Now, mind you, we're
talking about binary code,
65
00:03:36,153 --> 00:03:39,090
which is millions upon millions
of zeroes and ones.
66
00:03:39,125 --> 00:03:40,975
In order to recreate the data,
67
00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:43,584
I need to reconstruct the original
sequence of the code.
68
00:03:43,619 --> 00:03:45,478
To flip it back to the way
it was originally.
69
00:03:45,513 --> 00:03:46,854
Try to.
70
00:03:46,889 --> 00:03:50,412
But as you said, you're talking about
millions and millions of numbers.
71
00:03:50,447 --> 00:03:53,936
Now the program that was used
to flip Hoke's code left a pattern behind.
72
00:03:53,971 --> 00:03:55,264
If I can find it,
73
00:03:55,299 --> 00:03:59,215
I can reverse engineer the program
and reconstruct the original sequence.
74
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:02,124
Give it a shot.
Let me know if you find anything.
75
00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:05,792
Hey.
76
00:04:05,827 --> 00:04:06,939
Hey.
77
00:04:06,974 --> 00:04:09,492
Jonas Hoke was
an applied physicist.
78
00:04:09,527 --> 00:04:12,983
Lived alone, no kids, and
from everything I've heard so far,
79
00:04:13,018 --> 00:04:14,490
totally devoted to his work.
80
00:04:14,525 --> 00:04:17,464
He was in the middle of a divorce.
Wife left him a few months ago.
81
00:04:17,499 --> 00:04:19,138
Oh, yeah? Any history there?
82
00:04:19,173 --> 00:04:23,859
No police reports, no 911 calls.
Neighbors say he was a quiet, friendly guy.
83
00:04:23,894 --> 00:04:26,397
Yeah, who somehow wound up
being butchered in his own house.
84
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:28,990
House ransacked.
You've got multiple stab wounds.
85
00:04:29,025 --> 00:04:31,270
Alarm tripped.
86
00:04:31,419 --> 00:04:33,361
Not really the M.O.
of a professional killer.
87
00:04:33,396 --> 00:04:35,617
Why is the alarm tripped on the night
the body's discovered,
88
00:04:35,652 --> 00:04:39,427
as opposed to two days earlier,
when the guy's actually murdered?
89
00:04:39,624 --> 00:04:42,213
There's no evidence
the body was ever moved.
90
00:04:42,248 --> 00:04:44,935
Yeah, the neighbors don't report
seeing anyone else in the area.
91
00:04:44,970 --> 00:04:49,353
Still, the house being ransacked suggests
somebody was searching for something.
92
00:04:49,388 --> 00:04:52,347
Well, whoever wiped that file
knew what to look for, that's for sure.
93
00:04:52,382 --> 00:04:54,763
You think they trashed
the house on a ruse?
94
00:04:54,798 --> 00:04:57,288
Make it look like an amateur?
95
00:04:59,406 --> 00:05:00,571
Why don't you
go check out the wife?
96
00:05:00,606 --> 00:05:03,239
I'm gonna talk to Reacher
about the Lorman connection.
97
00:05:03,597 --> 00:05:07,579
Mrs. Hoke, I understand there was a dispute
over the money involved in the separation.
98
00:05:07,614 --> 00:05:12,082
I guess we both valued our time
together a little differently.
99
00:05:12,226 --> 00:05:14,712
Maybe it was because
he was angry I left, I don't know,
100
00:05:14,747 --> 00:05:19,207
but Jonas felt it appropriate that I leave
the marriage with what I came to it with.
101
00:05:19,242 --> 00:05:23,307
I wanted to ask him for the 12 years back,
but I didn't know how.
102
00:05:23,342 --> 00:05:25,896
When was the last time
you spoke to your husband?
103
00:05:25,931 --> 00:05:27,899
A few weeks ago.
104
00:05:27,934 --> 00:05:30,326
He was late with
a separation check.
105
00:05:30,361 --> 00:05:32,674
He'd do that, forget.
106
00:05:32,709 --> 00:05:36,551
Sometimes I wondered
if it was intentional.
107
00:05:37,061 --> 00:05:41,263
Mrs. Hoke, I have to ask you,
where were you on the 14th?
108
00:05:41,298 --> 00:05:44,344
Right, I understand.
109
00:05:44,379 --> 00:05:46,126
As it happens, I was at home.
110
00:05:46,161 --> 00:05:48,516
Any witnesses who can verify that?
111
00:05:49,096 --> 00:05:51,092
Lucas Grodin.
112
00:05:51,127 --> 00:05:53,089
He is a friend.
113
00:05:55,383 --> 00:05:57,302
I don't expect you to understand.
114
00:05:57,337 --> 00:05:59,187
I'm not judging you, Mrs. Hoke.
115
00:05:59,222 --> 00:06:00,925
I'm just trying to
take your statement.
116
00:06:03,602 --> 00:06:04,631
So your tech's sure
117
00:06:04,666 --> 00:06:07,528
whoever it was who wiped Hoke's files from
the hard drive, they didn't make a copy?
118
00:06:07,563 --> 00:06:10,347
That's right. Apparently,
it was erased, but not duplicated.
119
00:06:10,382 --> 00:06:12,652
My bosses will be happy to hear that.
120
00:06:12,687 --> 00:06:14,945
You know, you guys...
121
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:18,471
you ought to remind your bosses that
a man was murdered over this, you know?
122
00:06:18,506 --> 00:06:20,025
I didn't mean it
the way it sounded.
123
00:06:20,060 --> 00:06:21,271
Look...
124
00:06:21,306 --> 00:06:24,980
what exactly did Hoke do
for the Lorman group?
125
00:06:26,858 --> 00:06:30,230
The company had a contract with the defense
department for a new computer system,
126
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:33,187
one that could better interpret
global satellite imaging.
127
00:06:33,222 --> 00:06:36,605
So so new that someone
would kill over it?
128
00:06:37,014 --> 00:06:40,542
It's pretty sensitive stuff,
but a motive for murder?
129
00:06:40,577 --> 00:06:42,036
I don't know.
130
00:06:45,989 --> 00:06:46,966
Hey.
131
00:06:47,001 --> 00:06:49,184
So Hoke was working
on a DOD contract
132
00:06:49,219 --> 00:06:51,802
for a computer program
that interprets satellite images.
133
00:06:51,837 --> 00:06:53,428
Remote sensing.
134
00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:57,335
It's a process that scans electromagnetic
signatures from the earth's surface.
135
00:06:57,370 --> 00:07:02,685
It was used to detect prehistoric
Incan paths to sacred burial sites.
136
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,726
Hoke was probably developing it
to read roadside bombs or ruts from tanks.
137
00:07:06,761 --> 00:07:07,882
Why didn't you tell me you found this?
138
00:07:07,917 --> 00:07:10,949
Because that data wasn't the focus
of the hard drive wipe.
139
00:07:10,984 --> 00:07:12,861
All right. What was?
140
00:07:15,253 --> 00:07:18,606
Say I want to hide
what I've written.
141
00:07:22,676 --> 00:07:24,646
Have I hidden it?
142
00:07:31,059 --> 00:07:35,129
Exactly. The impression runs deeper
than the one sheet I've written it on.
143
00:07:35,164 --> 00:07:38,835
Now, if I really wanted
to conceal it, I would do this.
144
00:07:51,998 --> 00:07:55,458
Hoke's remote sensing work was erased
with the equivalent of a magic marker,
145
00:07:55,493 --> 00:07:59,509
but this section here was
scribbled out with a data scrubber,
146
00:07:59,544 --> 00:08:01,182
the equivalent of a pencil.
147
00:08:01,217 --> 00:08:03,916
On the surface, it renders
the computer code meaningless,
148
00:08:03,951 --> 00:08:06,917
but here there are magnetic
shadows underneath,
149
00:08:06,952 --> 00:08:09,884
pieces of data left behind
that I was able to find.
150
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:11,540
All right, tell me.
151
00:08:11,575 --> 00:08:12,674
Numbers.
152
00:08:12,709 --> 00:08:16,107
Specifically, like, baseball statistics.
153
00:08:16,142 --> 00:08:17,445
Baseball statistics?
154
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,473
Batting averages,
on-base percentages.
155
00:08:19,508 --> 00:08:20,363
I mean, as far as I can tell,
156
00:08:20,398 --> 00:08:24,061
Hoke was developing a pretty sophisticated
application of sabermetrics,
157
00:08:24,096 --> 00:08:26,831
which places numerical values
on specific skills,
158
00:08:26,866 --> 00:08:30,106
like home runs, hits, walks.
159
00:08:30,141 --> 00:08:34,237
A lot of teams use sabermetrics to identify
the best way to allocate their resources.
160
00:08:34,272 --> 00:08:36,596
Yeah. What was that book about the...
161
00:08:36,631 --> 00:08:38,286
- It was the Oakland A's GM.
- Money ball.
162
00:08:38,321 --> 00:08:39,953
- Yeah, money ball.
- Right.
163
00:08:39,988 --> 00:08:42,276
Only Hoke was taking
his formulas to a whole new level,
164
00:08:42,311 --> 00:08:45,673
attempting to predict player performance
based on statistical curves.
165
00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:48,627
All right, so...
why erase baseball stats?
166
00:08:48,662 --> 00:08:49,861
And why kill over it?
167
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,565
I have no idea.
168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,737
But I might be able to use a predictive
equation to rebuild the missing data,
169
00:08:54,772 --> 00:08:57,429
like detecting the original lines here,
170
00:08:57,464 --> 00:08:59,433
and guessing at what letters
they could make.
171
00:08:59,468 --> 00:09:02,222
Right. Well, I mean, we got to know
what they were trying to hide.
172
00:09:06,764 --> 00:09:10,271
Obviously, it was quite
a shock to hear about Jonas.
173
00:09:10,609 --> 00:09:12,919
To see him like that.
174
00:09:13,048 --> 00:09:15,041
I'm sure.
I'm sorry for your loss.
175
00:09:15,076 --> 00:09:17,420
Yeah. We'd worked together
for quite a while.
176
00:09:17,455 --> 00:09:20,934
Well, I'm gonna need to get a consultant
in to access Dr. Hoke's computer.
177
00:09:20,969 --> 00:09:23,146
Well, I don't see a problem.
178
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:31,020
So this is Dr. Hoke's office.
179
00:09:31,055 --> 00:09:33,907
This is Scott Reynolds.
He's Dr. Hoke's research assistant.
180
00:09:33,942 --> 00:09:35,877
Has anything else been
touched in this office?
181
00:09:35,912 --> 00:09:39,100
Uh, no. Uh, agent Reacher told us
to leave everything in place.
182
00:09:39,135 --> 00:09:40,336
What are you doing
on this computer?
183
00:09:40,371 --> 00:09:42,563
Just checking e-mails,
general housekeeping.
184
00:09:42,598 --> 00:09:45,104
Well, I'd appreciate it if you did that
someplace else for the time being.
185
00:09:45,139 --> 00:09:46,382
Okay.
186
00:09:46,417 --> 00:09:48,085
You worked with Dr. Hoke
on a daily basis?
187
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,267
Yeah.
188
00:09:49,302 --> 00:09:51,317
You remember what you
were doing on the 14th?
189
00:09:51,352 --> 00:09:53,456
Uh, it was a Tuesday?
190
00:09:53,491 --> 00:09:55,103
Um, he came in that Monday,
191
00:09:55,138 --> 00:09:59,095
and then I didn't hear from him again till
Mr. Oliver called me and told me what happened.
192
00:09:59,130 --> 00:10:01,972
Well, he was missing for two days.
Wasn't that a little unusual?
193
00:10:02,007 --> 00:10:04,814
No, he would stay home from the office
three, four days at a time.
194
00:10:04,849 --> 00:10:07,958
Scott's right.
Jonas could get lost in his work.
195
00:10:07,993 --> 00:10:11,068
Was Dr. Hoke a fan of baseball,
by any chance?
196
00:10:11,103 --> 00:10:12,656
- Baseball?
- Yeah.
197
00:10:12,691 --> 00:10:14,174
Oh, I'm not sure.
198
00:10:14,209 --> 00:10:17,727
Uh, he never went to any games or
anything, if that's what you mean.
199
00:10:18,142 --> 00:10:19,488
Why do you ask?
200
00:10:19,523 --> 00:10:21,192
It's just a little survey I'm doing.
201
00:10:21,227 --> 00:10:24,136
You gentlemen are gonna
have to leave this office.
202
00:10:27,523 --> 00:10:29,344
Well, apparently, Hoke
wasn't that into baseball.
203
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:32,327
I mean, there's no autographed balls,
no sports memorabilia whatsoever.
204
00:10:32,362 --> 00:10:35,276
So whatever his interest,
as far as I could tell, it wasn't personal.
205
00:10:35,311 --> 00:10:37,866
Maybe he was interested
in sabermetrics as a hobby?
206
00:10:37,901 --> 00:10:40,027
Well, it doesn't seem like that
should get you stabbed to death.
207
00:10:40,062 --> 00:10:41,604
How are you doing
on recreating his data?
208
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:45,141
I've been running the corrupted files through
a series of algorithms on my computer.
209
00:10:45,176 --> 00:10:46,460
All right, well, as soon
as you find anything,
210
00:10:46,495 --> 00:10:49,166
let me know, because I want to get you out
here and look at his computer, all right?
211
00:10:49,201 --> 00:10:52,204
All right, well, I'm actually
on my way to give a lecture right now,
212
00:10:52,239 --> 00:10:55,170
but sure, afterwards,
any way I can help.
213
00:10:55,205 --> 00:10:56,921
All right, good, thanks, Charlie.
214
00:10:57,811 --> 00:11:00,987
Now, did I just hear you
say the word "sabermetrics"?
215
00:11:01,022 --> 00:11:02,177
Familiar with it?
216
00:11:02,212 --> 00:11:05,330
The "money ball" craze?
Oh, yes, I'm familiar with it.
217
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:07,043
I take it you don't approve.
218
00:11:07,844 --> 00:11:11,802
Well, the notion that human
achievement on a baseball diamond
219
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:15,760
can be predicted through
the application of statistical analysis
220
00:11:15,795 --> 00:11:19,231
is, at it's very core,
highly problematic.
221
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:22,006
Even if the skill can be
statistically measured?
222
00:11:22,041 --> 00:11:26,593
Yes, because, Charles,
the human spirit is immeasurable.
223
00:11:26,628 --> 00:11:28,727
You know, our brains aren't
just these machines.
224
00:11:28,762 --> 00:11:31,193
There's a lot of either/or going on here.
225
00:11:31,228 --> 00:11:33,745
Yes, statistical probability
is a wonderful tool,
226
00:11:33,780 --> 00:11:37,837
but applied to human performance,
it's only an extrapolation of the past.
227
00:11:37,872 --> 00:11:41,937
Still there are a number of baseball teams
that use sabermetrics to determine who to pay.
228
00:11:41,972 --> 00:11:45,963
As a Dodger fan, I'm all too
painfully aware of that fact,
229
00:11:45,998 --> 00:11:48,906
but I'm also aware that
in a statistical model,
230
00:11:48,941 --> 00:11:50,837
the Red sox never beat the Yankees.
231
00:11:50,872 --> 00:11:52,733
Ah, there are exceptions to every rule.
232
00:11:52,768 --> 00:11:55,230
Yes, and aren't they glorious?
233
00:11:55,265 --> 00:11:58,940
Now, why is Don even asking you
about statistical baseball analysis?
234
00:11:58,975 --> 00:12:01,737
A researcher was found murdered.
235
00:12:01,772 --> 00:12:04,368
Wait, are we talking about Jonas Hoke?
236
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:06,461
You knew him?
237
00:12:06,496 --> 00:12:08,369
He, yeah.
238
00:12:08,404 --> 00:12:12,108
We were doctoral students together.
Well, not together, but at the same time.
239
00:12:12,143 --> 00:12:14,028
He just... I don't know.
240
00:12:14,063 --> 00:12:15,878
There's that old saying.
241
00:12:15,913 --> 00:12:19,051
"Applied physicists are from Venus,
theoretical physicists... "
242
00:12:19,086 --> 00:12:20,903
"wonder why it rotates
in the opposite direction. "
243
00:12:20,938 --> 00:12:22,603
There you go.
244
00:12:22,638 --> 00:12:25,066
No, our department was
informed of his passing
245
00:12:25,101 --> 00:12:27,161
and the planned memorial service.
246
00:12:27,196 --> 00:12:28,844
- I'm sorry.
- Well,
247
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,468
the book doesn't
always work, Charles,
248
00:12:31,503 --> 00:12:35,713
and numbers can't always
account for the way life turns out.
249
00:12:35,748 --> 00:12:38,283
Well, I mean, just ask Jonas Hoke.
250
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,249
What do you say, David?
251
00:12:44,284 --> 00:12:46,513
Hey. Anything at the Lorman group?
252
00:12:46,548 --> 00:12:49,157
Well, Hoke didn't show up for work
for two days, and he wasn't missed.
253
00:12:49,192 --> 00:12:52,097
That's either very sad,
or that's a really good job.
254
00:12:52,132 --> 00:12:53,601
Yeah? Seemed odd to me.
255
00:12:53,636 --> 00:12:57,329
Well, guess who had a $2 million
insurance policy.
256
00:12:58,185 --> 00:13:00,025
What? The good Dr. Hoke?
257
00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:02,142
And guess who
the beneficiary is?
258
00:13:02,177 --> 00:13:03,616
- Not the wife.
- Yep.
259
00:13:03,651 --> 00:13:06,088
Turns out the divorce
was nastier than we thought.
260
00:13:06,123 --> 00:13:08,378
Major issue being
Hoke's potential earnings.
261
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,599
Apparently, he didn't
want to give her any.
262
00:13:10,634 --> 00:13:13,312
So she takes him out and
gets the money she's entitled to?
263
00:13:13,347 --> 00:13:16,827
Then she's free and single again.
264
00:13:17,499 --> 00:13:19,056
He's her alibi
the night of the murder.
265
00:13:19,091 --> 00:13:20,996
Arrested in '84.
266
00:13:21,031 --> 00:13:22,866
Assault and battery.
267
00:13:22,901 --> 00:13:26,711
I guess she figured Hoke
was worth more dead than alive.
268
00:13:31,812 --> 00:13:34,519
I was twenty years old.
I got in a fight with a guy at a bar.
269
00:13:34,554 --> 00:13:37,774
Two years probation, believe me,
I learned my lesson.
270
00:13:37,809 --> 00:13:38,953
Which was what?
271
00:13:38,988 --> 00:13:41,130
Don't leave any witnesses
behind the next time?
272
00:13:41,165 --> 00:13:43,060
You have some imagination.
273
00:13:43,095 --> 00:13:44,132
We do.
274
00:13:44,167 --> 00:13:45,350
How about you imagining this?
275
00:13:45,385 --> 00:13:47,607
Gail Hoke's in the middle
of a bad divorce, right?
276
00:13:47,642 --> 00:13:49,287
I mean, it really isn't going well.
277
00:13:49,322 --> 00:13:53,750
On the other hand, a dead husband
pays out on a $2 million insurance policy.
278
00:13:53,785 --> 00:13:56,382
Wonder how many of these
you'd have to work to make up that.
279
00:13:56,417 --> 00:13:58,798
And killing Jonas helps me how?
280
00:13:58,833 --> 00:14:01,771
Because maybe Gail will give me
some of her insurance settlement?
281
00:14:01,806 --> 00:14:05,411
Well, with him out of the way,
she's free to marry again.
282
00:14:06,059 --> 00:14:09,199
Gail and I like each other.
Maybe it's even more than that,
283
00:14:09,234 --> 00:14:12,355
but neither one of us
has ever talked about marriage.
284
00:14:12,390 --> 00:14:13,599
All right.
285
00:14:13,634 --> 00:14:15,297
We'll be in touch.
286
00:14:17,114 --> 00:14:19,071
Gail Hoke wasn't
over her ex-husband.
287
00:14:19,106 --> 00:14:20,994
I got that much from both of them.
288
00:14:21,029 --> 00:14:22,706
Well, doesn't mean
she didn't kill him.
289
00:14:22,741 --> 00:14:26,248
Yeah, but I got the feeling she wasn't
willing to admit the marriage was over.
290
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:28,373
She was thinking
about going back to him.
291
00:14:28,408 --> 00:14:29,408
How'd you get that?
292
00:14:29,443 --> 00:14:32,124
Kind of reminded me of my sister
Linda when she got divorced.
293
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:36,177
Moved out, got her own place,
sat around waiting for her ex to call
294
00:14:36,212 --> 00:14:38,415
instead of getting out
and getting on with her life.
295
00:14:38,450 --> 00:14:40,338
Did he call?
296
00:14:41,227 --> 00:14:43,387
Yeah, and she went back to him.
297
00:14:43,422 --> 00:14:45,031
I always thought she
could've done better, you know,
298
00:14:45,066 --> 00:14:47,424
just given herself a chance.
Thanks.
299
00:14:47,459 --> 00:14:48,747
Yeah?
300
00:14:48,782 --> 00:14:50,490
Yeah. Knucklehead, you know.
301
00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:55,997
Hello. I'm sorry.
I have pretty specific instructions.
302
00:14:56,032 --> 00:14:57,539
No one's supposed
to use this computer.
303
00:14:57,574 --> 00:14:59,047
Oh, I'm sorry.
You must be Scott. / Yeah.
304
00:14:59,082 --> 00:15:00,268
I'm professor Charlie Eppes.
305
00:15:00,303 --> 00:15:01,811
Oh, I'm the, um, yeah,
306
00:15:01,846 --> 00:15:03,779
- I'm the FBI consultant.
- Oh, all right.
307
00:15:03,814 --> 00:15:05,712
Yeah, Mr. Oliver said
you were coming.
308
00:15:05,747 --> 00:15:07,363
I was told that, uh,
309
00:15:07,398 --> 00:15:10,618
none of Dr. Hoke's work was
to be touched before I got here.
310
00:15:10,653 --> 00:15:12,583
No, all that stuff's mine.
311
00:15:12,618 --> 00:15:14,479
- Oh, you're leaving.
- Yeah.
312
00:15:14,514 --> 00:15:18,423
Well, they probably would have
offered me another position here,
313
00:15:18,458 --> 00:15:21,551
but Dr. Hoke was kind of,
kind of a mentor to me,
314
00:15:21,586 --> 00:15:24,609
and you work that closely
with someone, it's hard.
315
00:15:24,644 --> 00:15:27,363
I can imagine. I work pretty
closely with someone myself.
316
00:15:27,398 --> 00:15:29,477
He always wanted me
to go back to school,
317
00:15:29,512 --> 00:15:31,501
finish my dissertation, so...
318
00:15:31,536 --> 00:15:33,659
- thinking now I will...
- That's great.
319
00:15:33,694 --> 00:15:36,021
- What's your field?
- Econometrics,
320
00:15:36,056 --> 00:15:38,320
specializing
in economic statistics.
321
00:15:38,355 --> 00:15:40,550
Yeah, that's exactly what my dad said
322
00:15:40,585 --> 00:15:44,375
when I told him I was gonna
borrow 30 grand a year to pay for it.
323
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:46,436
He's like, "you don't make money
by studying it. "
324
00:15:46,471 --> 00:15:49,959
Mathematics can be much more
lucrative than most fathers think.
325
00:15:49,994 --> 00:15:53,100
Yeah, but I want to
do something with it.
326
00:15:53,135 --> 00:15:56,206
You know, make
a difference in the world.
327
00:15:56,241 --> 00:15:57,312
That's really admirable.
328
00:15:57,347 --> 00:16:03,073
Well, because people, they assume that
the economy's this adversarial relationship,
329
00:16:03,108 --> 00:16:06,896
where one person's gain, by definition,
has to be another person's loss.
330
00:16:06,931 --> 00:16:09,040
But it doesn't have to be that way.
331
00:16:09,075 --> 00:16:11,115
There can be gains for everyone.
332
00:16:11,150 --> 00:16:12,765
- I'm sure you're right.
- No, I know I am.
333
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,939
It's all there in the numbers,
if anyone would just bother to look.
334
00:16:16,974 --> 00:16:18,265
Ah, I think I know just how you feel.
335
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:20,584
Well, if you need me for anything,
just let me know.
336
00:16:20,619 --> 00:16:22,510
Hey, Scott.
337
00:16:22,545 --> 00:16:26,506
Is there any reason that Dr. Hoke
would've been working on, like...
338
00:16:26,541 --> 00:16:27,990
baseball formulas?
339
00:16:28,025 --> 00:16:32,011
Yeah, you know, the other FBI agent
asked me that same thing about baseball.
340
00:16:32,046 --> 00:16:34,760
I told him Dr. Hoke never
mentioned it.
341
00:16:34,795 --> 00:16:39,316
Yeah. Any backup files, any other
workstation that Dr. Hoke might have used?
342
00:16:39,351 --> 00:16:42,270
No. That man was particular
about where he worked.
343
00:16:42,305 --> 00:16:45,190
It was either this computer or
the one at home.
344
00:16:45,373 --> 00:16:48,048
And you weren't aware of any
of his work on sabermetrics?
345
00:16:48,083 --> 00:16:51,056
But then again, I'm not
much of a baseball fan.
346
00:17:04,437 --> 00:17:05,951
Larry.
347
00:17:05,986 --> 00:17:07,431
Charlie.
348
00:17:07,466 --> 00:17:09,050
What are you doing here?
349
00:17:09,085 --> 00:17:12,217
Well, you mentioned a memorial,
and I knew you'd be here.
350
00:17:12,252 --> 00:17:13,509
Oh, yeah.
351
00:17:16,419 --> 00:17:19,546
It's a rather disheartening
turnout, isn't it?
352
00:17:21,159 --> 00:17:22,399
Are we early?
353
00:17:22,434 --> 00:17:24,919
No, I don't think so.
354
00:17:26,363 --> 00:17:28,522
It's physics.
355
00:17:28,557 --> 00:17:31,601
It's such a demanding field.
356
00:17:31,636 --> 00:17:34,639
Leaves little time or
energy for a social life.
357
00:17:34,674 --> 00:17:39,452
Einstein said that one has either
time for science or family...
358
00:17:39,487 --> 00:17:40,790
but not both.
359
00:17:40,825 --> 00:17:45,589
Well, now, that's spoken like a man
who can appreciate our predicament.
360
00:17:46,336 --> 00:17:47,643
I wonder though...
361
00:17:47,678 --> 00:17:50,945
is our work the actual cause,
or is it an excuse?
362
00:17:50,980 --> 00:17:54,466
That's a fair hypothesis, isn't it?
363
00:17:54,501 --> 00:18:00,605
I suppose the real trick is in finding
the solution while it still matters.
364
00:18:01,972 --> 00:18:03,433
What do these formulas tell you?
365
00:18:03,468 --> 00:18:05,828
The ones I've recovered
indicate that the Dodgers
366
00:18:05,863 --> 00:18:08,824
are not on the right track
to win the pennant next year.
367
00:18:08,859 --> 00:18:11,216
Like you needed math
to figure that one out, huh?
368
00:18:12,188 --> 00:18:13,253
No.
369
00:18:14,807 --> 00:18:17,773
I heard that, uh, Don
was leaning towards the wife.
370
00:18:17,808 --> 00:18:19,735
That's right.
371
00:18:19,770 --> 00:18:22,105
Seems to be the first place
they look nowadays.
372
00:18:23,043 --> 00:18:26,456
I don't understand. I mean, if you hate
the person you're married to that much,
373
00:18:26,491 --> 00:18:28,598
get divorced.
374
00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:31,494
Even the thought of divorce
holds its own special horrors,
375
00:18:31,529 --> 00:18:32,941
let me tell you.
376
00:18:32,976 --> 00:18:35,401
Well, you and mom
never thought about...
377
00:18:35,549 --> 00:18:37,379
I mean, I was never
witness to any kind of...
378
00:18:37,414 --> 00:18:40,685
That's exactly the way we wanted it.
379
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,770
Well, it was a long time ago, we, um...
380
00:18:45,926 --> 00:18:47,909
we had a little rough patch
there for a moment,
381
00:18:47,944 --> 00:18:50,136
but we got through it.
382
00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:54,420
How rough a patch are
we talking about?
383
00:18:54,455 --> 00:18:58,482
It was when you were 13 years old,
and you went off to Princeton.
384
00:18:58,517 --> 00:19:00,876
Mom came with me.
385
00:19:01,648 --> 00:19:06,217
The separation was
pretty hard on both of us.
386
00:19:06,252 --> 00:19:13,074
And aside from the money matters,
there was this irrational jealousy.
387
00:19:13,109 --> 00:19:15,580
Anyway, even the possibility
of divorce was never discussed,
388
00:19:15,615 --> 00:19:18,666
because we loved each other too much.
389
00:19:19,682 --> 00:19:22,045
I don't remember any of it.
390
00:19:22,939 --> 00:19:26,236
I don't even remember a raised voice
between the two of you.
391
00:19:26,271 --> 00:19:27,802
That's because your mother
and I both agreed
392
00:19:27,837 --> 00:19:31,333
that we wouldn't stress you or Don
any more than we had to.
393
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:36,623
Charlie, that's how parents argue
in front of their children.
394
00:19:37,235 --> 00:19:39,854
They disguise the big things
as little things.
395
00:19:43,227 --> 00:19:45,381
Big things disguised as little things.
396
00:19:45,416 --> 00:19:49,354
In World war II, U.S. submarines
were equipped with bathythermographs,
397
00:19:49,389 --> 00:19:52,816
which helped them find warm
pockets of water beneath colder ones,
398
00:19:52,851 --> 00:19:55,864
because warm water
bent the sound waves away.
399
00:19:55,899 --> 00:20:00,804
If the submarine hid in the right place,
the enemy's sonar was useless.
400
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:04,384
Hoke did the same thing
with his own data.
401
00:20:04,419 --> 00:20:05,959
He hid it in warm water.
402
00:20:05,994 --> 00:20:08,380
He disguised his work
as baseball statistics,
403
00:20:08,415 --> 00:20:10,262
thereby hiding its real meaning.
404
00:20:10,297 --> 00:20:11,617
How'd you figure it out?
405
00:20:11,652 --> 00:20:15,078
The magnetic shadows that were
left on the hard drive after the wipe.
406
00:20:15,113 --> 00:20:18,505
I ran the extrapolated data
through a series of simple algorithms.
407
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:21,900
The end result was that
the baseball statistics fell away,
408
00:20:21,935 --> 00:20:24,067
leaving the pertinent numbers.
409
00:20:24,102 --> 00:20:26,294
I then did a simple
brute force analysis.
410
00:20:26,329 --> 00:20:30,154
Brute force? / I just went on the internet
and googled the set of numbers.
411
00:20:30,189 --> 00:20:33,979
I sifted through the hits one by one,
to find the matching data tables.
412
00:20:34,092 --> 00:20:38,289
Hoke pulled his data off of U.S. census
bureau reports over the last ten years.
413
00:20:38,324 --> 00:20:43,065
Other tables were federal budgets,
grade point averages, SAT scores.
414
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:47,496
Grade point averages? / Hoke's work
had nothing to do with baseball at all.
415
00:20:47,531 --> 00:20:51,892
He was attempting to apply the concept
of sabermetrics to average communities,
416
00:20:51,927 --> 00:20:54,605
- not athletes.
- You're talking about real people?
417
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,107
Actuaries do it all the time.
418
00:20:57,142 --> 00:21:01,051
Uh, taking into account income levels,
access to health insurance.
419
00:21:01,086 --> 00:21:03,301
Only Hoke wasn't measuring
life expectancy.
420
00:21:03,336 --> 00:21:05,584
He was measuring human potential.
421
00:21:05,876 --> 00:21:08,816
What do you mean?
Like predicting success?
422
00:21:08,851 --> 00:21:10,362
Almost from birth.
423
00:21:10,397 --> 00:21:11,838
That's not possible.
424
00:21:11,873 --> 00:21:15,487
Baseball teams use sabermetrics
to determine which players to pay.
425
00:21:15,522 --> 00:21:20,600
He was using sabermetrics to determine
what people were worth investing in.
426
00:21:20,635 --> 00:21:23,883
So no one gets left behind,
they just never get started to begin with.
427
00:21:23,918 --> 00:21:26,601
It applies to schools.
It applies to hospitals, to libraries.
428
00:21:26,636 --> 00:21:32,573
I mean, companies fire employees who smoke
because of future statistical probabilities of cancer.
429
00:21:32,608 --> 00:21:35,840
Uh, they use DNA to deny
employees access to healthcare.
430
00:21:35,875 --> 00:21:39,189
I mean, why not a mathematical analysis
to do the exact same thing?
431
00:21:39,224 --> 00:21:41,195
And you're saying he was
actually close?
432
00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:44,400
Well, from what I can tell,
he hadn't finished his main equation,
433
00:21:44,435 --> 00:21:46,744
though once he was through, theoretically,
434
00:21:46,779 --> 00:21:49,639
he'd be able to predict human performance
based on geographic and
435
00:21:49,674 --> 00:21:52,719
environmental factors,
down to a city block.
436
00:21:52,754 --> 00:21:54,518
So basically, you are where you live?
437
00:21:54,553 --> 00:21:58,980
A mathematical determination
of who will or won't be a winner.
438
00:22:10,607 --> 00:22:12,397
I've never seen any
of this stuff before.
439
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:14,152
Well, it's an incredible
amount of data.
440
00:22:14,187 --> 00:22:16,420
So you're saying Dr. Hoke
never asked for your help?
441
00:22:16,455 --> 00:22:18,226
With this? Absolutely not.
442
00:22:19,049 --> 00:22:20,756
I mean, you know how it is.
He works alone.
443
00:22:20,791 --> 00:22:24,608
I'd get glimpses, but it's
not like he includes me or anything.
444
00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:27,054
Yeah, but what about research, Scott?
I mean, you never prepared charts,
445
00:22:27,089 --> 00:22:29,676
or downloaded statistics?
That seem a little weird,
446
00:22:29,711 --> 00:22:32,229
considering what you thought
he might be working on?
447
00:22:32,264 --> 00:22:35,334
Um, there's some market research
studies that he asked me to get.
448
00:22:35,369 --> 00:22:37,949
- Yeah?
- But I don't know.
449
00:22:38,117 --> 00:22:39,398
Market research?
450
00:22:39,433 --> 00:22:41,597
Yeah, stuff the Lorman group
was compiling.
451
00:22:41,632 --> 00:22:43,331
What kind of stuff?
452
00:22:43,484 --> 00:22:46,636
Household incomes, housing costs,
buying tendencies.
453
00:22:46,671 --> 00:22:49,788
This was all stuff the Lorman
group was working on?
454
00:22:49,823 --> 00:22:52,071
Yeah. Um, Dr. Hoke
would make the request,
455
00:22:52,106 --> 00:22:54,878
and then Mr. Oliver would
have me e-mail it to his home.
456
00:22:54,913 --> 00:22:56,749
And when was this?
457
00:22:56,784 --> 00:22:58,648
Up until a few weeks ago.
458
00:22:58,683 --> 00:23:00,087
What happened a few weeks ago?
459
00:23:00,122 --> 00:23:02,165
For the last request,
460
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,905
Mr. Oliver called me into his office,
461
00:23:03,940 --> 00:23:06,851
and he said the company
was not going to allow Dr. Hoke
462
00:23:06,886 --> 00:23:08,830
access to the information anymore.
463
00:23:08,865 --> 00:23:10,263
Did he tell you why?
464
00:23:10,298 --> 00:23:12,378
I mean, it's not really my place to ask,
465
00:23:12,413 --> 00:23:15,254
but I just remember Dr. Hoke
was pretty upset about it.
466
00:23:15,289 --> 00:23:16,304
Oh, yeah?
467
00:23:16,339 --> 00:23:18,029
Okay. Thanks for talking to us.
468
00:23:18,064 --> 00:23:19,515
- I'll take that.
- Yeah.
469
00:23:19,550 --> 00:23:20,733
Thanks a lot, Scott.
470
00:23:20,768 --> 00:23:22,021
All right.
471
00:23:26,205 --> 00:23:28,482
Sounds like Hoke was going
behind the company's back,
472
00:23:28,517 --> 00:23:30,763
trying to develop
a new software program.
473
00:23:30,798 --> 00:23:33,430
Either that, or trying to hijack it.
474
00:23:33,465 --> 00:23:36,560
Explains why Oliver shows up
the night the body's found.
475
00:23:36,595 --> 00:23:38,986
Yeah, he's gonna get back
his program, right?
476
00:23:39,021 --> 00:23:42,235
Question is, did they want it
bad enough to kill him for it?
477
00:23:42,270 --> 00:23:45,457
Well, I mean, he was concerned
that someone was gonna steal it, right?
478
00:23:45,492 --> 00:23:47,933
Otherwise, why disguise it
as baseball stats?
479
00:23:47,968 --> 00:23:49,905
Why would he bother to do it
on his own home computer?
480
00:23:49,940 --> 00:23:53,980
Unless he was worried that his house
wasn't as private as he thought it was.
481
00:24:42,251 --> 00:24:45,455
Don, take a look.
482
00:24:49,162 --> 00:24:51,131
Oh, yeah, look at that.
483
00:24:51,214 --> 00:24:53,256
Something was there.
484
00:24:54,029 --> 00:24:56,293
Maybe they didn't have time
to pull the wire.
485
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:58,598
A dead body decomposing
a few feet away,
486
00:24:58,633 --> 00:25:01,118
maybe they felt the need to rush.
487
00:25:04,724 --> 00:25:06,506
Oh, yeah.
488
00:25:06,659 --> 00:25:09,158
Someone put some kind
of surveillance there.
489
00:25:09,193 --> 00:25:12,107
Hoke had a reason to be paranoid.
490
00:25:14,997 --> 00:25:18,007
See, that must be why the alarm
went off two days late.
491
00:25:18,042 --> 00:25:20,736
So someone came in after he was
murdered to remove the device.
492
00:25:20,771 --> 00:25:21,871
That's what tripped it.
493
00:25:21,906 --> 00:25:25,713
So someone planted a surveillance
device in Dr. Hoke's house.
494
00:25:25,846 --> 00:25:29,440
Well, judging by your tone,
you think that someone is me?
495
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:32,230
Dr. Hoke was working
on a software program
496
00:25:32,265 --> 00:25:34,774
that would be extremely
valuable to a lot of people.
497
00:25:34,809 --> 00:25:37,997
Yes, well, I gave the FBI full
access to the imaging data.
498
00:25:38,032 --> 00:25:40,654
Well, actually, we found a second
body of work on his home computer,
499
00:25:40,689 --> 00:25:42,952
and it had nothing to do
with your satellite program.
500
00:25:42,987 --> 00:25:44,549
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
501
00:25:44,584 --> 00:25:46,144
No?
502
00:25:46,179 --> 00:25:47,586
You sure?
503
00:25:47,621 --> 00:25:51,504
So if our consultant wanted to develop
that data, you wouldn't assert a claim?
504
00:25:51,539 --> 00:25:55,913
Well, the Lorman group has a contract
with every researcher we employ,
505
00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:59,411
so anything that Dr. Hoke worked
on is owned by the company.
506
00:25:59,446 --> 00:26:00,708
Maybe he didn't agree.
507
00:26:00,743 --> 00:26:02,880
Maybe you went
to his house, argued.
508
00:26:02,915 --> 00:26:06,806
The night I met you is the only time
I was ever in Dr. Hoke's house.
509
00:26:06,841 --> 00:26:09,059
There's more than one way
inside of a person's home.
510
00:26:09,094 --> 00:26:11,243
Look, we want that
surveillance, okay?
511
00:26:11,278 --> 00:26:12,464
I want my lawyer.
512
00:26:12,499 --> 00:26:15,234
You sure? Because if someone happened
to leak to the press that your company
513
00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:17,825
is under criminal investigation,
your government contracts?
514
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:20,095
they might dry up pretty darn fast.
What do you think?
515
00:26:20,130 --> 00:26:21,612
Feds don't like scandals.
516
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:23,936
You take a moment, think about it.
517
00:26:35,770 --> 00:26:38,160
Jonas had no right doing what he did.
518
00:26:38,195 --> 00:26:39,380
No?
519
00:26:39,415 --> 00:26:43,851
The idea of using
statistical analyses to
520
00:26:43,886 --> 00:26:48,676
predict human performance
originated in this company.
521
00:26:48,711 --> 00:26:50,378
But he didn't see it that way?
522
00:26:50,413 --> 00:26:54,065
He refused to provide
algorithms to us unless
523
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,718
we gave him a percentage
of the license fees
524
00:26:57,753 --> 00:27:00,315
we charge for the
use of our software.
525
00:27:00,350 --> 00:27:02,228
And this time I bet you refused.
526
00:27:02,263 --> 00:27:06,162
I had no intention of being extorted
by Jonas Hoke or anyone else.
527
00:27:06,197 --> 00:27:07,885
So you put the surveillance on him?
528
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,192
I did no such thing.
529
00:27:10,227 --> 00:27:11,776
But after I learned that he died,
530
00:27:11,811 --> 00:27:15,534
I felt that we were within our rights
to retrieve the research.
531
00:27:15,569 --> 00:27:18,421
So, what, you called
your friend, Reacher?
532
00:27:18,456 --> 00:27:20,969
Look, the point of all of this is,
533
00:27:21,004 --> 00:27:23,964
I didn't have to steal anything
from Jonas Hoke.
534
00:27:23,999 --> 00:27:26,307
I already owned it.
535
00:27:28,345 --> 00:27:29,597
All right.
536
00:27:29,632 --> 00:27:31,331
We'll be in touch.
537
00:27:38,911 --> 00:27:40,671
So Oliver told you
what Hoke was working on.
538
00:27:40,706 --> 00:27:42,183
That's why you
wanted his people there.
539
00:27:42,218 --> 00:27:45,656
Oliver said Hoke had a program that
could determine with mathematical certainty
540
00:27:45,691 --> 00:27:49,095
which neighborhoods would benefit from
public spending and which ones wouldn't.
541
00:27:49,130 --> 00:27:51,049
Yeah, and you understand
this is about justifying
542
00:27:51,084 --> 00:27:53,972
taking money from some certain
communities and giving it to others.
543
00:27:54,007 --> 00:27:56,861
In case you hadn't heard,
we're running a $10 trillion deficit.
544
00:27:56,896 --> 00:27:58,397
Yeah, I read the papers.
545
00:27:58,432 --> 00:28:00,966
Why throw money away
on state-of-the-art lab facilities
546
00:28:01,001 --> 00:28:02,412
for kids who have no potential?
547
00:28:02,447 --> 00:28:04,854
That's right.
Why even give them books?
548
00:28:05,951 --> 00:28:08,757
Oliver asked me if such
a program would be
549
00:28:08,792 --> 00:28:10,656
of value to the government.
550
00:28:10,691 --> 00:28:11,955
I believed it would.
551
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:14,761
So you put the surveillance
in Hoke's house?
552
00:28:15,086 --> 00:28:16,816
No.
553
00:28:17,264 --> 00:28:19,542
You wouldn't tell me
if you did, would you?
554
00:28:21,256 --> 00:28:23,358
I understand you haven't turned
the data you got from Hoke's computer
555
00:28:23,393 --> 00:28:24,791
over to the Lorman group yet.
556
00:28:24,826 --> 00:28:26,734
Yes, that's right, and I don't
have any intention of it.
557
00:28:26,769 --> 00:28:28,754
Oh, you realize, I'll just
have my boss call your boss.
558
00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:30,739
These relationships go way
beyond the two of us, Eppes.
559
00:28:30,774 --> 00:28:32,351
Part of a homicide investigation.
560
00:28:32,386 --> 00:28:33,954
There's no telling when
it might become available,
561
00:28:33,989 --> 00:28:36,051
but you go ahead,
you make your call.
562
00:28:36,105 --> 00:28:38,980
We did not place surveillance
inside Jonas Hoke's house.
563
00:28:39,015 --> 00:28:41,684
So if it wasn't us,
and it wasn't Oliver's people,
564
00:28:41,719 --> 00:28:43,184
who was watching Hoke?
565
00:28:43,219 --> 00:28:45,878
Well, whoever it was, it's clean.
566
00:28:45,913 --> 00:28:48,135
No prints, no identifying signature.
567
00:28:48,170 --> 00:28:50,322
Any idea how they
could have done it?
568
00:28:50,357 --> 00:28:53,417
Well, the alarm company runs
a phone line through the touch pad.
569
00:28:53,452 --> 00:28:55,933
Whatever system was used
to spy on Hoke was
570
00:28:55,968 --> 00:28:58,615
piggybacked onto
the security system.
571
00:28:58,650 --> 00:29:00,464
So it was a listening device?
572
00:29:00,499 --> 00:29:02,098
Some sort of audio
would be my guess,
573
00:29:02,133 --> 00:29:04,667
but it's hard to tell
without the actual device.
574
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:07,201
Wait a minute.
Hold that screen right there.
575
00:29:07,236 --> 00:29:08,392
Don, take a look at this.
576
00:29:08,427 --> 00:29:11,176
This is the manufacturers' list
for the alarm system, right?
577
00:29:11,211 --> 00:29:14,972
This is the serial number for that unit,
the unit in Hoke's house.
578
00:29:15,007 --> 00:29:17,266
Take a look at who bought it.
579
00:29:17,301 --> 00:29:19,770
Grodin construction.
580
00:29:19,805 --> 00:29:21,521
The boyfriend.
581
00:29:33,387 --> 00:29:35,674
- Take it to four.
- Okay.
582
00:29:35,709 --> 00:29:37,209
You two again.
583
00:29:37,244 --> 00:29:39,284
Yep, with more questions.
584
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:41,306
I don't know what else
I can tell you.
585
00:29:42,341 --> 00:29:45,632
Why don't you tell us about the bug
you planted in Jonas Hoke's house?
586
00:29:45,667 --> 00:29:48,606
You know, for a while there,
I was thinking Gail was the victim in all this.
587
00:29:48,641 --> 00:29:50,118
I didn't do anything wrong.
588
00:29:50,153 --> 00:29:53,450
No? / Don't tell me this is the part
where you say that she did it all?
589
00:29:53,485 --> 00:29:55,476
Look, neither of us did anything.
590
00:29:55,511 --> 00:29:58,210
Well, we still got a dead body
and an alarm system that was bugged,
591
00:29:58,245 --> 00:30:00,846
an alarm system that you installed.
592
00:30:01,529 --> 00:30:04,114
Gail's lawyer asked me
to help her guy put a wire
593
00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:06,699
or something into Jonas's house,
but that's it.
594
00:30:06,734 --> 00:30:08,401
That's all I did.
595
00:30:08,436 --> 00:30:10,338
Turn around. Let's go.
596
00:30:15,489 --> 00:30:17,897
Last time we spoke,
you weren't exactly forthcoming
597
00:30:17,932 --> 00:30:20,300
about your relationship
with Lucas Grodin.
598
00:30:20,335 --> 00:30:21,936
In what way wasn't she forthcoming?
599
00:30:21,971 --> 00:30:23,608
For starters, how about the fact
you never mentioned
600
00:30:23,643 --> 00:30:27,908
you asked him to wire
your husband's house.
601
00:30:27,962 --> 00:30:30,546
The house was never adjudicated
as separate property,
602
00:30:30,581 --> 00:30:35,011
so therefore whatever monitoring system
Mrs. Hoke may have placed in her own house,
603
00:30:35,046 --> 00:30:37,467
she was absolutely entitled to do so.
604
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,206
I put Jonas through college
and grad school. / Gail...
605
00:30:40,241 --> 00:30:42,847
I waited tables.
I did anything I could,
606
00:30:42,882 --> 00:30:45,419
because I believed
we had a future together.
607
00:30:45,454 --> 00:30:48,330
Do you have any idea what it's like
to have your husband tell you
608
00:30:48,365 --> 00:30:51,040
your contribution to your
marriage isn't of value?
609
00:30:51,075 --> 00:30:52,203
I think we should take a break now.
610
00:30:52,238 --> 00:30:54,634
I'm not finished with
your client, counselor.
611
00:30:54,669 --> 00:30:56,774
You can't prove Gail did anything.
612
00:30:56,809 --> 00:31:00,216
All I need to make out conspiracy
at this point is probable cause.
613
00:31:00,251 --> 00:31:03,304
And your boyfriend's alarm system
gives me exactly that.
614
00:31:03,339 --> 00:31:05,825
It also puts you in possession of
material evidence,
615
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:08,277
and an obstruction of
justice charge, counselor.
616
00:31:08,312 --> 00:31:12,774
If Jonas were a doctor or a lawyer,
I'd be entitled to half of everything.
617
00:31:12,809 --> 00:31:17,236
But everything he had was inside his head,
so tell me, agent Sinclair,
618
00:31:17,271 --> 00:31:18,938
how do you get half of that?
619
00:31:18,973 --> 00:31:20,804
Which is why you put
surveillance in his house,
620
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:21,921
to see what was on his computer.
621
00:31:21,956 --> 00:31:26,079
It was the only way Jonas would have
ever given me what I was entitled to.
622
00:31:26,114 --> 00:31:27,895
Right.
623
00:31:27,930 --> 00:31:31,374
But after you had
the information you needed,
624
00:31:31,409 --> 00:31:33,687
why'd you kill him?
625
00:31:34,136 --> 00:31:36,641
I didn't kill him.
626
00:31:36,892 --> 00:31:39,106
I could never do anything like that.
627
00:31:39,141 --> 00:31:41,321
I told you, he was late with a check.
628
00:31:41,356 --> 00:31:42,531
I went there to get it.
629
00:31:42,566 --> 00:31:44,435
That's when I found him dead.
630
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:46,269
Gail did not kill her husband.
631
00:31:46,304 --> 00:31:49,261
Forgive me if I'm not willing
to take your word for it.
632
00:31:49,296 --> 00:31:50,840
You don't have to.
633
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:53,764
I have the surveillance, remember?
634
00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:57,079
So is this an audio file?
635
00:31:57,114 --> 00:31:58,949
No, actually, digital video.
636
00:31:58,984 --> 00:32:01,390
So the device was a camera?
637
00:32:01,425 --> 00:32:03,797
Not exactly. It was an antenna.
638
00:32:03,854 --> 00:32:05,492
A Van Eck Phreak.
639
00:32:05,527 --> 00:32:07,341
But at a far more sophisticated level.
640
00:32:07,376 --> 00:32:09,121
Wait, what are you guys talking about?
641
00:32:09,156 --> 00:32:12,154
The wire you found in his house
wasn't for a camera.
642
00:32:12,189 --> 00:32:13,941
It wasn't for a microphone.
643
00:32:13,976 --> 00:32:15,694
It was for a high-gain antenna.
644
00:32:15,729 --> 00:32:16,875
An antenna?
645
00:32:16,910 --> 00:32:18,696
For what? To pick up what?
646
00:32:18,731 --> 00:32:20,448
Well, with any LCD screen,
647
00:32:20,483 --> 00:32:24,127
liquid crystals provide an image
when energy passes through them.
648
00:32:24,162 --> 00:32:25,418
The color they become
649
00:32:25,453 --> 00:32:27,740
depends on the amount of energy
that they're exposed to.
650
00:32:27,775 --> 00:32:30,028
When the energy passes
through these liquid crystals,
651
00:32:30,063 --> 00:32:32,697
it emits a wave of
electromagnetic radiation.
652
00:32:32,732 --> 00:32:36,634
Dutch physicist Van Eck realized
that with an antenna and a decoder,
653
00:32:36,669 --> 00:32:38,921
you could both read
the waves and decode them
654
00:32:38,956 --> 00:32:42,169
into a perfect replica of what someone
would be seeing on their computer screen.
655
00:32:42,204 --> 00:32:42,982
What you're saying is,
656
00:32:43,017 --> 00:32:44,816
that the antenna was able
to read and pick up
657
00:32:44,851 --> 00:32:46,615
whatever was on Hoke's
home computer screen.
658
00:32:46,650 --> 00:32:48,369
- That's right.
- That is amazing.
659
00:32:48,404 --> 00:32:51,335
Hoke had elaborate safeguards
against conventional hacking.
660
00:32:51,370 --> 00:32:52,646
Firewalls, blockers...
661
00:32:52,681 --> 00:32:55,068
still, nothing could stop this.
662
00:32:55,103 --> 00:32:56,682
Isn't that around the time
he was killed?
663
00:32:56,717 --> 00:32:58,492
Yeah.
664
00:33:02,735 --> 00:33:04,830
That's where the files
were being erased.
665
00:33:04,865 --> 00:33:08,848
See the zeroes and ones just
flipping around, back and forth?
666
00:33:08,883 --> 00:33:11,153
So the killer knew Hoke's passwords.
667
00:33:11,188 --> 00:33:13,424
Too bad he didn't leave a fingerprint.
668
00:33:13,666 --> 00:33:17,451
Actually, you know what?
I think he did.
669
00:33:20,372 --> 00:33:21,826
All right, so what are we looking at?
670
00:33:21,861 --> 00:33:24,322
Digital representations
of a pattern of keystrokes.
671
00:33:24,357 --> 00:33:26,322
One taken from
Hoke's computer at home,
672
00:33:26,357 --> 00:33:28,258
one from Hoke's computer at work.
673
00:33:28,293 --> 00:33:31,311
Now, you know that experts
can distinguish one person's typing
674
00:33:31,346 --> 00:33:34,330
- from another by their rhythm.
- Yeah, you mean like Morse code.
675
00:33:34,365 --> 00:33:35,307
Right.
676
00:33:35,342 --> 00:33:37,770
Telegraph operators
used to recognize each other
677
00:33:37,805 --> 00:33:41,054
by the different ways they used to tap
into the exact same codes,
678
00:33:41,089 --> 00:33:44,304
like a concert pianist sitting
down to play a piece of music.
679
00:33:44,339 --> 00:33:46,701
Even though the notes originate
from the sheet music,
680
00:33:46,736 --> 00:33:48,833
the way she plays them
is entirely distinctive.
681
00:33:48,868 --> 00:33:53,463
Now, if another pianist sits down
to play the same piece of music,
682
00:33:53,498 --> 00:33:54,960
the strength of notes,
683
00:33:54,995 --> 00:33:59,828
the flourishes in rhythm would
make the keystrokes totally different.
684
00:34:01,522 --> 00:34:05,550
Now, only by seeing them side-by-side
would you be able to tell they were different.
685
00:34:05,585 --> 00:34:07,610
See...
686
00:34:07,645 --> 00:34:09,873
I'm sitting here,
and I'm looking at these,
687
00:34:09,908 --> 00:34:11,893
and they look identical to me.
688
00:34:11,928 --> 00:34:13,844
That's because they are, Don.
689
00:34:13,879 --> 00:34:16,544
This is from Hoke's computer at home.
690
00:34:16,579 --> 00:34:20,167
The keystrokes you're seeing
are passwords used to tap
691
00:34:20,202 --> 00:34:23,889
into Hoke's sabermetrics files,
made after Hoke was dead.
692
00:34:23,924 --> 00:34:27,577
This is from Hoke's computer
workstation at the Lorman group,
693
00:34:27,612 --> 00:34:29,778
made after Hoke was dead.
694
00:34:29,813 --> 00:34:34,154
So then this is the same person
that erased the files?
695
00:34:48,866 --> 00:34:51,257
Scott Reynolds, you're under arrest
for the murder of Dr. Jonas Hoke.
696
00:34:51,292 --> 00:34:53,095
Get your hands up.
697
00:34:53,993 --> 00:34:55,290
You have the right to remain silent.
698
00:34:55,325 --> 00:34:58,460
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
699
00:34:58,495 --> 00:35:00,029
Bring him down.
700
00:35:21,626 --> 00:35:23,469
All right, sir. Go ahead.
701
00:35:23,504 --> 00:35:25,238
What do you want?
702
00:35:25,753 --> 00:35:28,713
I'm trying to figure out
how you could kill a man,
703
00:35:28,948 --> 00:35:32,274
how you could kill a fellow scientist
to steal his work.
704
00:35:32,309 --> 00:35:35,601
Is that why you think
I killed Dr. Hoke for the money?
705
00:35:36,222 --> 00:35:39,008
You weren't jealous
of his accomplishments.
706
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,095
His accomplishments, is
that what you call them?
707
00:35:44,418 --> 00:35:46,959
I grew up in West Oakland.
708
00:35:46,994 --> 00:35:49,972
Anyone I grew up with
who isn't dead or in prison
709
00:35:50,007 --> 00:35:52,001
is flipping burgers or driving a truck.
710
00:35:52,036 --> 00:35:55,763
And it's not too difficult to guess
what Dr. Hoke's formula would have said about
711
00:35:55,798 --> 00:35:58,540
putting a computer lab in my high school.
712
00:35:58,601 --> 00:36:00,354
That computer lab saved my life,
713
00:36:00,389 --> 00:36:02,538
and next year, it's gonna save
somebody else's.
714
00:36:02,573 --> 00:36:06,362
And killing Dr. Hoke
accomplishes that?
715
00:36:07,359 --> 00:36:10,058
You think it stops there?
716
00:36:10,404 --> 00:36:13,708
In the last century, the Nazis used
the theory of eugenics
717
00:36:13,743 --> 00:36:16,920
to stop the poor from reproducing.
718
00:36:16,955 --> 00:36:20,247
Eventually, they justified
just killing the sick ones.
719
00:36:20,282 --> 00:36:21,478
You can't compare that to this.
720
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:23,068
Actually, that's a perfect comparison,
721
00:36:23,103 --> 00:36:28,393
because what Jonas was doing
was taking away a person's chance at life.
722
00:36:28,428 --> 00:36:30,029
It's taking away someone's hope.
723
00:36:30,064 --> 00:36:33,641
And I did what I had to do
to stop that before it started.
724
00:36:33,710 --> 00:36:36,970
That makes you a murderer.
725
00:36:38,512 --> 00:36:40,938
Don't you ever wonder
about your own work?
726
00:36:42,834 --> 00:36:44,804
What about my work?
727
00:36:46,676 --> 00:36:50,393
Well, you consult
for the NSA, don't you?
728
00:36:51,751 --> 00:36:54,213
of course you do.
729
00:36:54,304 --> 00:36:59,180
So you're gonna tell me that everything
you do will be used for good all the time?
730
00:36:59,745 --> 00:37:02,147
What's your point?
731
00:37:02,182 --> 00:37:04,952
You're asking me how I'm gonna
live with myself.
732
00:37:04,987 --> 00:37:07,723
Look in the mirror.
Ask yourself the same question.
733
00:37:07,758 --> 00:37:09,240
Let's go.
734
00:37:24,775 --> 00:37:26,502
Jonas Hoke's last hurdle.
735
00:37:26,537 --> 00:37:32,137
Oh, yes, his equation seeking to predict
a person's chance at success.
736
00:37:33,695 --> 00:37:35,935
He never got to finish it.
737
00:37:35,970 --> 00:37:38,868
I thought maybe I'd
give it a shot myself.
738
00:37:38,991 --> 00:37:40,790
Why?
739
00:37:40,825 --> 00:37:42,568
To what end?
740
00:37:42,603 --> 00:37:46,541
This work is just a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
741
00:37:46,576 --> 00:37:47,649
How do you mean?
742
00:37:47,684 --> 00:37:48,781
Well...
743
00:37:48,816 --> 00:37:54,805
Charles, if we use numbers to
choose who among us gets opportunity,
744
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,352
then by definition,
those we haven't chosen don't.
745
00:37:59,579 --> 00:38:03,190
That's not science.
Well, it's not good science.
746
00:38:03,225 --> 00:38:07,321
It's like, every year college football
chooses a national champion,
747
00:38:07,356 --> 00:38:11,418
but they use computers to determine
which two teams play for the title.
748
00:38:11,453 --> 00:38:13,710
And every year, invariably,
749
00:38:13,745 --> 00:38:16,238
some team gets left off
that believes,
750
00:38:16,273 --> 00:38:21,517
well, it could have won the game on the field
if it had just been given the chance.
751
00:38:21,552 --> 00:38:25,084
I've always believed
that it was my duty to...
752
00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:28,122
develop mathematical tools,
753
00:38:28,157 --> 00:38:32,240
and someone else's
to use them wisely.
754
00:38:32,945 --> 00:38:35,182
Could I have been wrong?
755
00:38:36,689 --> 00:38:41,016
The consequence of our
understanding subatomic particles
756
00:38:41,051 --> 00:38:46,514
was a horrible bomb that transformed
the world we live in
757
00:38:46,549 --> 00:38:51,978
and a source of energy,
the basis of life-saving techniques,
758
00:38:52,013 --> 00:38:55,474
and an indispensable scientific tool.
759
00:38:55,509 --> 00:38:57,683
Science...
760
00:38:57,718 --> 00:38:59,625
you know, science,
761
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:04,271
not this, but real science,
is discovery, Charles.
762
00:39:04,306 --> 00:39:06,124
It's not invention.
763
00:39:06,159 --> 00:39:07,908
The truths are there,
764
00:39:07,943 --> 00:39:10,994
whether we find them or not.
765
00:39:11,029 --> 00:39:13,888
Listen, I'm gonna grab a bite to eat.
You want to come?
766
00:39:17,494 --> 00:39:19,355
Okay.
