"So, it's not just at home you drop your things all over the place." "Thanks." "What do you got there?" "Uh, it's a police scanner." "Well, it's not just the police." "The "Double-E" guys did some modifications." "Picks up pretty much every law enforcement band there is." "You're not close enough to the action as it is?" "You have to monitor radio calls now?" "I just don't want to miss anything." "Didn't we move you in here around, what, three weeks ago?" "Oh, my gosh, Charlie." "You have to see what I found-- these are amazing." "What are you doing here?" "I thought you were headed downtown." "Oh, well, that was a lie, so I could surprise you." "I wanted to get all yo stuff unpacked and put away." "And I asked Sharon to transpose your work off the boxes." "Sharon?" "Sharon, thanks." "Hi." "Anybody else buried in the rubble around here?" "Nope, just the two of us-- but, Charlie, you have to read these letters." "I found them in the old wall secretary." "Oh, then Beiderman must have left them..." "But one is from Beiderman, but another one is from Knox, and another one is from Newberry." "And this one... dates all the way back to 1922." "It was written by Hightower." "May I?" "ALAN:" "Those are the professors that preceded you ?" "Yeah." "Those guys were giants in the math world." "Yeah, but they weren't giants when they wrote these." "That's what's so cool about them." "I mean, they were just starting out." "The letters are about their goals and expectations, what they hoped to accomplish in their careers." "Hightower wrote the first one right after he moved in, almost 90 years ago." "And then, he left it behind for Knox." "Then, Knox did the same for Newberry, who did the same for Beiderman." "That's quite an incredible tradition when you come ?" "Yeah." "I know." "And now Beiderman left them behind for you." "How cool is that?" "Well, it was different for those guys 'caus e, you know, they?" "and I just moved in from down the hall." "Yeah, but it might be fun, though, huh?" "Trying to imagine what it will be like 20 years now, what you'll be doing." "70-25, code six." "105 North Anderson..." "These guys were smooth." "They got at least six figures and were long gone before the first call went out." "This here is the branch manager, Clifford Hansen." "How are you doing, Mr. Hansen?" "So, what can you tell us?" "Uh... guy came in wearing a maintenance uniform." "Went, uh, right for the alarm pane By the time the teller ?" "I guess he'd already cut the alarm?" "And it was just the one guy?" "Three more came in right after, pulling on masks." "Camera only caught the first one, though." "And what kind of, uh, masks did the other three wear?" "Two of them wore, uh, ski masks, you know, and the third guy, the guy who looked like he was in charge, he wore a Bill Clinton mask." "TARMERS AMERICAN BANK" "And they put you all in a back room?" "And they separated you:" "employees in one, customers in the other." "Yeah." "How did you know that?" "I'm getting a big-time déj?" "vu thing about now." "Yeah, two of them cleared out the tellers' drawers, and the other two hit the vault." "Nick, come on..." "you're starting to freak me out." "Hey, did you hear any gunshots?" "We didn't hear anything." "I waited 10 minutes, like they told us, and then, when I came out here, they were gone." "No, no, not all of them." "No, only three of them left." "How did you do that?" "This is our dead jack-in-the-box." "His name is Greg Berlin." "Habitual B and E guy who specializein high-end security systems." "Well, that's our best lead." "Let's get into him." "We can, but I'm pretty sure it's a dead end." "Here we go again:" "the Amazing Nikki." "Look, robbery this morning is an exact copy ?" "back when I was a rookie cop." "Now, when you say "exact copy"..." "I mean every detail, right down to e stiff in the cabinet." "Now, if they stuck to the old plan, they hired this guy on right before the heist." "As soon as he finished his bit with the alarms, they put the bullet in his head." "Which is why they left him behind." "He's doesn't connect to the rest?" "And he's the oy one caught on camera." "Other three might as well be ghosts." "Well, we got to have a file from that first one, though." "We do-- 2002." "I pulled it already, but it's unsolved-- there were no suspects" "Th's just no official suspects, right?" "I mean, the lead agent, he'd have some kind of theories." "Take a look at this." "The lead agent:" "Roger Bloom." "What, who is Bloom?" "Agent we teamed up with eight months back." "Don caught him with his hand in the cookie jar." "Ended Bloom's career." "All right." "I'll tell you what" " Nikki and I will go give him a try." "Why me?" "He hasn't met you." "He won't hate you yet." "Hey, Bloom." "Why don't you let me give you a hand?" "I don't need anything from you, Granger." "Hey, he's just trying to help." "Yeah, I'm sure you are." "I'm sure you both drove out here just to help me dig up my sewer line." "You're right." "Actually, we came out here 'cause we need your help." "We're working a bank hst." "Yeah." "You find that funny?" "Funny?" "I find that hysterical." "I put in 32 years." "What did I get?" "Forced retirement, my pension's revoked," "I'm standing in a mud hole in the middle of my front yard?" "All because of the FBI." "Good luck with your case there, agents." "Actually, Bloom, it was your case." "Bank robbery, 2002." "Farmers American Bank." "Four-man crew." "Capped one of their own, left him behind." "Looks like they're back at it." "An exact duplicate happened this morning." "Now, on your file, I noticed you had no suspects listed, but I'm assuming you had somebody in mind, or a theory at least." "Yeah, there was a guy named, uh, Curtis Brennan." "Why did you suspect him?" "'Cause the pieces fit." "He had the smarts, he had the history." "And word was that he spent a lot of cash afterwards." "I just couldn't make it stick." "You think Brennan and his crew could be back at it?" "Yeah, they might be... if they didn't get themselves killed thr years ago doing a casino job." "No, I think you're wrong about making a connection with today's heist." "More likely, you were wrong about Brennan to begin with." "Yeah, well, I guess that we're done then, huh?" "I think Knox's letter is my favorite." "Here he is, what, 27 when he writes it, and he already knows exactly what he's going to accomplis" "Charlie." "I AM SORRY." "Why am I the only one fascinated by these?" "I mean, you worship Knox." "When you taught ergodic theory, you lectured on his work for two weeks." "I think Knox was amazing." "So, why aren't you more excited about these letters?" "If I were you, I would be thrilled to write one." "I tell you what." "You can write mine." "Charlie." "What?" "Both Knox and Newberry were huge proponents of collaborative work." "I'm sure neither of them would roll over in their grave if you did a first draft for me." "Why are you so reluctant to do this?" "I don't know." "Wow, love what you've done with the place." "Oh, well, I've been kind of busy." "Then, we're not going to be any help." "Uh, we're working on a bank robbery." "Yeah, Don told me-- guys got away seven years ago, and now they've done it again?" "But there's no way these were their" "I mean, these guys are experienced." "They had to pull other jobs, maybe even got caught somewhere else." "You remember how you helped me on the Sneaker case, how we ran a search algorithm to look for similarities between the current crime and past crimes?" "Yeah, we analyzed a break-in and found a suspect who used a similar methodology." "We're hoping you could do the same thing here, maybe tie these guys to a previous crime." "I can take a look." "I'm going to need all the old files." "You really want us to bring them here?" "Oh... no." "I..." "I better come to you." "All right, what?" "What, what?" "You're clearly pissed." "I mean, you've been giving me the chill ever since we?" "?" "TOO HARD ON IT?" "You were getting him to open up, and I shut him down, right?" "You really are psychic, 'cause yeah, that's exactly what I was thiing." "You know, I'm sorry, but a dirty cop is a dirty cop." "You even know what he did?" "I know he took a lot of money that wasn't his." "Do you know why?" "He was chasing this kid who embezzled some money from a bun?" "and he thought the FBI wasn't giving it enough attention." "So, he stole money and then blamed it on the kid?" "With no intention of actually keeping it." "You can hear yourself right now, right?" "Look, the guy logged 30 years." "Okay, he ran kidnap rescue." "He ran the bank division." "He won every commendation there is to win." "He did 1,000 things right in his career, and then messed up once-- that's it." "You know, it's a good thing that you can't read my mind right now." "Is it going to disturb you guys if I run through some video?" "I don't think anything's going to bother Charlie." "He's in that zone." "I got a week's worth of bank footage to go through." "I'm hoping one of the crew was in to case the place before the robbery." "Well, that sounds like a lot of faces." "I'll mark anyone who looks suspicious, go back later and run them again Facial Recognition." "Hey, I think I found something... or the search algorithm did, and it's not what we were looking for." "What do you mean?" "two months ago, someone hit a bank in Riverside." "It's an exact duplicate of a 1994 robbery." "And then, there was another five months ago in..." "Fountain Valley, and the details match perfectly with a 1989 robbery." "So, it wasn't the first time these guys recycled one?" "Well, uh, that's the thing." "Given the dates and the vast differences in their MO," "I would say that none of the original three were committed by?" "Meaning..." "Someone's copycatting old bank robberies." "Somehow, they're finding these old crimes, unsolved cases where the FBI or police never even had SUSPECT" "Perfect crimes." "In essence, yeah." "This, uh, a new crew, they're replaying" "Bank Robberies' Greatest Hits." "These are the three?" "Charlie ran a search algorithm on the Farmers ?" "see if we the MOs match anything other than just ?" "And we can't keep doing that?" "I mean, we have three more robberies, which means more data." "I mean, more likely you can find similarities, right?" "Uh, yes, but no because similarities an't what's important now." "What's important are the differences." "What we really need is a good heuristic anomaly ?" "uh, something as simple as, uh-- well, let's say you're using a copy machine." "You're making copies of a number of photographs." "You run each one through the machine and you compare the copies to the originals." "Now, similarities are irrelevant." "They're expected." "After all, you're making a copy." "However, iif you discover differences-- flaws, for example, that aren't in the original-- well, now you've got something relevant." "You have found a signature feature of the individual copier." "If we look for enough differences in enough copies..." "Then we'll be able to tell what photocopier they used." "Look at this." "All these were checked out recently." "By who?" "Excuse me." "These three files right here were recently signed out." "We need to know who had them." "Should say in the back." "Well, whoever it was didn't want their signature ?" "You have to show a badge ID to get 'em, right?" "Give me the file numbers." "They're all 91A-LAs." "21-245, 13-545, and 41-808." "Okay." "Those were all checked out by Agent Sinclair." "I'm Sinclair." "I want to know who had them before me." "Next back would be Agent Bloom." "NIKKI:" "Agent Roger Bloom?" "He checked out a bunch of files-- all unsolved bank robberies." "Bloom hasn't been an active agent since last November." "Why would you let him check out files?" "I had no idea he wasn't active." "He was the lead agent on most of the files." "Look, David, she's not the one we should be talking to." "Thank you." "That your signature?" "Wow, that is bad penmanship." "All right, for the sake of argument... yeah, I'll say yes." "Yeah, for argument's sake, you checked out two dozen old bank files." "Why?" "Because I ran bank division for 14 years and I got nostalgic." "I bet he never thought he'd be back in here again." "You feeling sorry for him?" "I'm just saying it's got to be humiliating, being back here like this." "Impersonating an FBI agent is a felony." "You know that." "I never told that clerk that I was an active agent." "Right, but you never said you weren't either, did you?" "What are you doing, Eppes?" "What you did to me is not enough already?" "Are you trying to make a case out of these ancient files?" "There was a bank robbery this morning." "Okay, every detail of this file recreated." "You checked it out three weeks ago." "Are you saying that I robbed the bank?" "Say you didn't." "I'm not saying another word." "Colby, check this out." "It's two days ago." "Guy at the counter." "Okay, what about him?" "I think he's been casing the place." "?" "Is all this necessary?" "Moving him in here, making him play the isolation game" "It is if he is a felon." "?" "Don, the guy's an ex-agent." "I mean, that's got to count for something." "Yeah, well, then it cuts both ways." "Then he should be cooperating with us." "All right." "How long you planning on sweating him?" "I want to search his apartment while we got him here." "Call Robin and get a rush warrant, all right?" "Oh, Don..." "Hey, it's not a debate." "Hey, how's your heuristic anomaly detector thing going?" "I'm still working out the initial algorithm." "And did you tell it that ex-Agent Bloom is now our suspect?" "Well, that would only introduce an unnecessary bias." "W-We don't want to influence the analysis unfairly by presupposing ?" "You sound like Colby." "So how long is it going to take to run?" "Hopefully I'll have something for you later tonight, maybe tomorrow." "So for now, the only connection between the current crimess the obvious one" " Bloom." "Page three of the FBI interrogation manual." ""After the initial isolation period," ""try to establish "a rapport with the suspect" ""through a token gesture, like a candy bar," ""cup of coffee... bottle of water."" "All right, so how do you want to do this?" "Want to go room by room or you want to split it up?" "I don't have to keep an eye on you or anything in here, do I?" "You're not gonna do anything stupid?" "Is that a joke?" "I mean, you're not gonna try to cover anything up or leave some kind of sign so Bloom would know we were here." "Really, you think that I'd do that?" "Well, normally, no, but I can't get any kind of handle on you on this one." "Your last investigation..." "We're not going all the way back to Kevin Oliver's case, are we?" "Well, there's $10 million missing." "I don't care that IA couldn't prove it." "You and I both know you took it." "The only thing we both know is that every penny was returned." "Yeah, we, that leaves you $10 million light." "And maybe if you talked to me, but you don't." "Look, I just see you feeling sorry for this guy, defending him, and I just can't make any sense out of it." "Yeah." "You know, Nik, I don't know how much anybody might have told you about my father." "I know he died when you were 15." "Yep." "He was going up into the mountains on a fishing trip." "There was 20 miles of road and there was a steel guardrail that covered every single inch of it except for one 50-yard stretch." "That's the spot that his truck went off the cliff." "I'm sorry." "That is some serious bad luck." "Yeah, it's either bad luck or that's the spot he was aiming for." "What, you think he killed himself?" "I'll never know." "All I do know is that he spent 20 years as a foreman in a machine shop pounding out tractor parts." "Then he makes one mistake and they can him." "He just never get over how that one mistake just erased everything else" "You do a lot of thinking since you got fired?" "Play it over and over in your head?" "Maybe you started to rationalize." "You're the one that was wronged, you're the victim." "Now you're on page 19 of the manual." ""Attempt to agitate the suspect, elicit an emotional reaction."" "Oh, come on, Eppes." "I spent 30 years on that side of the table." "You're not going to get a confession out of me." "And without a confession, what have you got?" "I got you in the bank two days before the robbery." "I got you with a file detailing it three weeks before that." "Maybe there's a whole other explanation." "So give it to me, Roger." "Let me help you." "Help me like you helped me right out of a career." "You think I wanted to do that, really?" "Pal, I joined the Bureau 'cause of guys li you." "It killed me to turn you in." "You gave me no choice." "It was my sister, Eppes." "He took every penny of her life savings." "What wouldn't you do for your brother?" "Hey, Colby, in here." "Southern Coast Savings and Loans." "He's got blueprints, photos, diagrams of traffic patterns." "He's even drawn out the interior." "Here's a copy of an FBI file." "Robbery at this very bank in 1998." "Let me guess." "Unsolved?" "Looks like Bloom's got plans." "You know, you guys are just shining examples of law enforcement." "I don't have to give you the whole "don't leave?" "Oh, please." "No way he'll know you were there, right?" "We were careful." "Oh... what is this for?" "It's for you." "Don't get too excited until you see what it is." "All right." "Oh, it's a pen." "To write the letter." "Don't tell me you didn't see that one coming." "Why is this so important to you?" "For the same reasons it should be important to you." "She's not going to let up, you know that, Charlie?" "And I have to say I think she's right." "I know she's right." "I know I should write this letter." "I just don't know what the future holds, so..." "Well, what do you want it to hold?" "Write abt that." "Yeah, what about your emergence work?" "You seemed to be having a real breakthrough a few weeks ago." "Yeah, and then my brother got stabbed and then there was the serial kilr case." "And what does that got to do with writing the letter?" "Never mind." "Thank you for the pen." "Anyone got eyes on him?" "Nothing yet, but we have got a clear view of the side approach." "Colby, how about you?" "Negative." "Man, this guy's been dragged in and grilled." "He's already got the take from the last three robberies." "If it was me, I'd just quit while I was ahead." "Now, the crime he's copying from '89-- they hit just after lunch, so if they're following the old plan..." "Wait a minute." "I got him." "Gold four-door rolling down Sixth." "Yeah, I got him." "Looks like he's alone." "You didn't really ink he'd come, did you?" "Oh, what's he doing?" "I don't know." "Waiting, I guess." "On them." "Yeah, looks like we got more players in a two-tone Chrysler." "All right, let's hold tight, everyone." "Let themet in for SWAT." "Bad guys are moving." "All right, Bloom's out." "Oh, what the hell is he doing?" "Freeze!" "He's gonna try and stop them." "FBI!" "FBI!" "Bloom, put the gun down!" "Put it down, Bloom." "Why isn't he in cuffs?" "!" "He wasn't with them, Don." "Yeah, he wasn't, all right?" "He was actually trying to stop them." "How did you know they'd be here, Bloom?" "14 years in the bank division, Eppes." "I figured it out." "I almost had them at the last job." "Wait a minute." "You've been working this case from the beginning?" "Five months." "Ever since the Fountain Valley job." "I've been way out ahead of you guys." "That's why you had the files, that's why you were in the bank." "Didn't I tell you there was another explanation?" "Come on, give me those hands." "Oh, are you kidding me?" "Give me your hands." "I..." "A prioknowlee of a felony, failed to report it." "You're an accessory, Bloom." "Not in a million years." "You endangered all these people around here, not to my agents." "Not one person got hurt, except, of course, for a bad guy, Don." "Let me make this as clear as possible, okay?" "You are not an agent." "You are nobody as far as this case goes." "He's got the message, Don." "He's got the messe." "Take him in." "Charlie, what are you doing here?" "I caught it on the scanner." "We got 'em, huh?" "No, it wasn't Bloom." "He was chasing them, just like us." "We've been overlooking something." "Information flow." "The guys we're after had to have learned the details of the original heists somewhere, right?" "Yeah, until now, we thought they got it from the FBI file." "But if it's not Bloom?" "Where would they learn about the crimes?" "It's not like there's a bank robber newsletter, or a social club where they sit around and swap stories." "Yeah there is-- prison." "Maybe somebody from the new crew did time with one of the old guys, right?" "Old guys get to bragging about scores they pulled off, but never got caught for." "If the new guy's a good listener, and takes good notes." "Charlie, isn't there some sort of social network analysis you can use?" "Figure out where and when their paths might have crossed?" "No, no." "Not with two pools of unknown variables." "See, the new crew had to have learned the details of the old crimes from the old crews, but right now, we don't knowenough" "Believe it or not, it's not unlike, uh, decorator crabs." "A decorator crab camouflages itself by collecting tiny bits of its environment, and sticking them on its back." "As a result, if you looked at just the decorator crab alone, you could get a pretty good sense of what its habitat looks like." "Conversely, if you looked at just the habitat, you could make a pretty good guess as to what the decorator crab would look like." "And the problem is, we don't know enough about the habitat, we don't know enough about the crab." "There's no way to use one to make a determination about the other." "Hey, Bloom?" "What now, Granger?" "What could there possibly be left to say?" "You're gonna need a ride back to your car." "Listen, Bloom, for what it's worth, I know what it's like to be the agent on the outside." "Yeah?" "I was cuffed, interrogated and locked up by my own team." "Yeah." "But you cleared your name, didn't you?" "For good or for bad, it's forgotten." "You know why?" "Because up there, it's all short-term memory." "They only remember the last thing you did." "Look, I read the paper, I saw the bank robbery," "I made the connection." "I thought, this is my chance." "Bust the bank crew, you give them something new to remember you by?" "So, maybe you could just kind of keep me in the loop here, you know?" "Bloom, you got to let it go." "Listen to me." "The only reason you're not locked up right now is because it'd be bad press." "An ex-agent triggers a shoot-out while a dozen current agents look on?" "But I guarantee you, you mess with this again, they'll get over the embarrassment." "Look, I know that I messed up with the Kevin Oliver case." "I accept that." "But I can't let that be the last thing I did." "It's all right." "I'm unarmed." "No pen, no pad of paper." "I know." "I've got 'em right here." "You're writing the letter." "Let me ask you something." "It has to do with the letter." "Actually, it's more about us." "Okay." "You know, there's never been any question as to what I was supposed to do with my life." "I was eight when they called it destiny that I would go on to achieve some level of academic greatness." "You should be writing this down." "Oh, no, no, no." "Wait, wait." "When we met, I was that math wunderkind on the rise." "Uh, and the whole time we've been together, you've pretty much known what you've signed on for." "Pretty much, right?" "So, I guess, uh, this is a, uh," ""would you still love me if..." question." "If the ride turned out to be something else entirely, and if I didn't fulfill the destiny..." "Is that why you haven't really moved into the office?" "And why you're so stuck on the letter?" "Because you don't think you're worthy?" "Charlie, you belong in that office." "You are every bit as talented as Beiderman or Knox or any of them." "Trust me." "All right, knock it off, you two." "Charlie, you got visitors." "Hey, Charlie, you remember Roger Bloom?" "Yeah, sure." "How you doing?" "How's it going?" "So I was thinking he could give you some help with the case." "I already have the files." "I know facts that never made it into the files." "I was the lead agent." "I mean, I'll tell you right now." "Unless you can give me suspects..." "I can." "All right, not official suspects." "Just suspicions that I had working on the case." "Charlie, the fact is, he has been way out ahead of us on this one." "What's my brother going to say about this?" "I'll work on Don." "I can help you." "Looks close to the description of that bank suspect you guys are looking for." "Didn't want to touch him till we figured out whether he was yours or not." "What do you think?" "It's him." "That's right where I tagged him." "My guess is, whoever dumped him here figud he wouldn't be found so quick." "Why do you say that?" "Building remodel's been stalled a couple of months." "Contractor just happened to come by to pick up some equipment." "You guys are lucky." "Uh, luckier than this guy, anyway." "Thanks." "What you're saying has absolutely no scientific validity." "So what?" "We know that they show a preference for targets with easy ingress and egress." "Right, but their pattern of behavior is going to change now that they know they're being pursued." "Listen, imagine that you're a mountain goat, trying to get to the next peak, and you know that there is a snow leopard in the valley below." "A mountain goat?" "How about if I imagine that I'm a bank robber looking for a target?" "Whatever." "Look, look." "Look, you may be coming at this from two different directions, but the question remains the same." "There are nine so-called perfect crimes in the files that these guys have not reenacted yet." "You're right." "But whatever they choose, they're looking for one last big hit." "Well, yeah, it is likely that they are going to want to choose a target that offers a greater payout." "So, uh, we're in agreement?" "What?" "They're, uh..." "They're making progress." "Only reason you're here is 'cause Colby stood up for you." "I want you to understand that." "We found the point of convergence." "Everyone that Roger suspected in the original crime did time at Lompoc at one point or another, so we're thinking it's someone from the new crew who was incarcerated with them." "So that's how they found out about the heists?" "Yeah." "We just can't figure out where they're gonna hit next." "LAPD found the body of a guy named Billy Devarro, one of the crew from yesterday." "Let me guess." "He did a lot of time at Lompoc, too." "No, but his brother Teddy did." "The guys are on their way to pick him up now." "FBI!" "We have a warrant!" "Clear." "The bathroom's clear." "Clear." "Oh, he's cleared out." "It's too late." "We missed him." "Take a look at this." "It's the recon for their last few jobs." "I don't see anything that said when they're going next, though." "All right, that's it." "With Devarro, the pieces fit." "They're going to recreate the 1981 holdup at the downtown Federal Reserve." "Oh, come on." "You disagree with me again?" "No, I completely agree with you." "Well, I'm confused." "What's the problem?" "Whoever's doing this preserving every detail of the original crimes." "?" "All right-- 1981, four men enter the Federal Reserve building downtown before it opens." "There are two security guards, eight employees and one of the employees' wives ithe bank." "Now, the crew used Periformol, which is a Vietnam-era poison gas." "Most likely, they all died before they even knew that they were being robbed." "Once they got rid of all their witnesses, they used magnesium burn bars." "they cut right through a side wall of the vault." "The take: a little less than $2 million." "A Vietnam-era gas?" "That has to be inert by now, if it hasn't all been destroyed." "And all federal vaults have been fortified since." "Yes, they were, in direct response to this robbery." "So, duplicating the old crime won't work." "It will if they modernize it." "Look, same crime, 21st Century tools." "It's consistent with my anomaly detection scheme." "One of the differences between the copies and the originals..." "You don't use the magnesium burn bars." "You have a laser cutter, maybe." "All right, so what about the gas?" "I'm thinking Haldite nerve gas." "Based on what?" "And from where?" "The U.S. signed the Chemical Weapons Convention back in '93." "But there's a facility in Seal Beach that contracts with the government, and they destroy chemical weapons collected overseas." "Now, they had a break-in six weeks ago." "A security guard that works there is being detained right now, but they still haven't recovered the Haldite that was taken." "We need to talk with that security guard." "Six weeks in federal holding, Marcus." "No visitors, no phone calls." "It sounds like you got nobody." "I don't need nobody, 'cause I got nothg to say." "Yeah, we heard you've been real quiet." "But how are you going to feel when six weeks turns into six months or six years?" "Want to hear my guess?" "I think you're holding out for one of those big paydays somewhere down the line." "That's why you can deal with all this:" "'cause you know if you keep quiet about the gas and you protect who has it, you're going to get some big, uh, cash reward somewhere in the end." "But here's the wrench in your plans." "We already know who has the gas and what he plans to do with it." "That's a load of crap." "You ever play Clue, Marcus?" "Oh, I'm going to guess Teddy Devarro, in the Federal Reserve with the Haldite gas." "Looks like I win." "I don't know how much Teddy promised you." "Marcus, that payday is not coming." "And if people die from the gas that you helped steal, they will put you down." "What do you want?" "Tell us where to find Teddy and the gas." "All right, I see mement." "There's definitely someone in there." "You try a mass evacuation, you tip them off, it could get very ugly." "Hey, you're just here to watch, okay?" "I'm just saying." "Listen up, everyone." "I want to keep SWAT and Hazmat out of sight." "Clear the businesses on both sides." "We hit them tonight, we'll get less people around." "It doesn't look like much, does it?" "Yeah, It scares me." "This one looks empty." "It's all locked up." "I'm clearing store to the east." "I don't believe it." "Don, there's someone out front right now." "David, Liz, stop." "Stop where you are." "Open the damn door!" "Go, go!" "We gotta hit it-- send SWAT on the back." "We're going!" "Stay right here." "Door is locked." "Okay, okay, I'm coming out!" "Drop the gun!" "Nice and easy-- don't move." "Don't move!" "Come here!" "Put your hands behind your back." "Turn around." "Where's Devarro?" "Where the hell is that damn canister?" "Yo, check this out." "Hey." "It leads out the building." "He is coming out the front." "He's getting away-- he's coming out the front." "Hey." "No, no, my baby!" "Back up!" "No, my baby!" "Get back!" "My baby, please!" "Shut up!" "Please don't hurt my baby." "You know what this is, don't you?" "Teddy, you're t going anywhere." "No, my baby!" "Back off!" "Terry, put it down!" "Back!" "Back!" "My baby!" "Back off!" "Get out!" "Get out, get out now!" "Get out." "Got it, got it, got it." "Don't move, don't move!" "Okay." "I got it." "So, you just don't listen, huh?" "Old habits." "About 1,000 ways that could have gone wrong." "Yeah, but it didn't." "We got lucky." "That's the best I'm ever going to get out of Eppes." "He's right, you know." "But I'll tell you something." "People will be talking about that one for a long time." "You know, I gave the Bureau my whole life." "Never got married, none of that stuff." "But, man, if I had a son..." "Thank you very much." "My pleasure." "Hey, uh, David said there's a kick-ass pizza place down the street, so we're going to go get something to eat, so if you want to come..." "Yeah, I'm starving." "Actually, I wasn't talking to you, Granger, but,h, I guess you can come, too, if you want." "What do you say?" "I can eat." "Dang." "Nice digs." "Well, I don't understand." "Dad said it was like a disaster, like my room when I was 15." "He was right, by the way." "Um, no, Amita came by today and did all this." "That's nice of her." "You've definitely arrived, kid." "Yeah." "I've arrived." "Don't know how long I'm set to stay." "What are you talking about?" "You've been working for this your whole life." "Yeah." "My destiny, right?" "What if my future has changed, you know?" "What if it's not being an academic?" "What, you mean the FBI stuff?" "You don't seem to have a problem doing both." "It's become increasingly difficult for me to be here in this bubble lecturing about set theory, knowing that there are real lives at risk, that there are real lives being lost out there." "You know, Charlie, I've seen a lot of good agents burn out." "don't want to go home because they're afraid they'll miss something." "What is..." "I don't know about the whole destiny thing." "You've had it pounded into your head since you were a kid." "Why don't you just... do what you want on any given day?" "Okay?" "Just live a little." "I don't know." "Yeah, well, I do." "Oh, hey." "Am I interrupting something?" "No, I was just, uh, heading out, actually." "Good." "'Cause I need Charlie." "All right." "Congratulations." "Uh, looks nicer than my apartment." "See you later." "I'm taking you to dinner." "I owe you for fixing up office." "No, actually, I owe you." "I screwed something up." "Let's go." "Okay." "Where are we going?" "Brianni's, and we're late." "Brianni's, wow." "You must have really screwed up." "Charlie, um..." "the other night, when we were talking in the garage about the letters and the office, and, um, you asked me a question..." "The "Would you still love me if..." thing?" "And I went on and on about you doubting yourself and you deserving the office, which I'm not retracting or anything, but I realized that I never answer your question." "Charlie... there is no "if"." "I love you no matter what." "There aren't any conditions on that." "You're amazing, you know that?" "No!" "Charlie, help me!" "Let me go!" "No, no!" "No, let me go!" "No, Charlie, help me!" "Amita, Amita." "Let go of me!" "No!"
