"Daniel, come on." "Let's go." "I've got to get to the lawyer's." "I don't wanna be late." "I'll be right down, Mom." "Mom?" " Here you go." "Take this." " All right, I'll get this to Ballistics." "Twenty bucks says that gun goes nowhere." "I don't know." "We might find something." "Doesn't look very professional to me." "Why is that, because he missed?" " Pros miss, you know." " Yeah, only this one didn't." " So who is she?" " The victim's name is Lucinda Shay." "Shay?" "Why do I know that name?" "She's the chief financial officer at Syntel Corporation." "Oh, yeah, that's that energy company, the big stock fraud case, bankruptcy, all that." "Shay was the whistle blower." "Her testimony was supposed to sink other executives." "Looks like she did pretty well before she blew the whistle." "Witness for the prosecution doesn't show for a prep session." "AUSA called the Marshals, and they find this." "Multiple gunshots." "They found a Beretta lying near the body." "Four spent rounds." "Estimated time of death, a couple hours ago." " Why weren't the Marshals on it?" " Nobody ordered protective custody." " Why is that?" " It's a white-collar fraud case." "Nobody expects Martha Stewart to go down in a hail of bullets." "We should get the whereabouts of everybody she was testifying against." "You'd wanna ask the CEO of Syntel where he was at 8 a.m. this morning?" " Yeah, that's right." " Thomas Galway." "We'll ask if we get past the lawyers." "We all use math every day:" "to predict weather, to tell time, to handle money." "Math is more than formulas and equations." "It's logic." "It's rationality." "It's using your mind to solve the biggest mysteries we know." "It's the preliminary report on the shooter's gun, David." "Serial number is intact." "Gun show in Nevada." "Private collector." "No background check, no record of sale." " As predicted, the gun is a dead-end." " I don't know why it makes you happy." "That could leave us with about 6,000 suspects." "Every single ex-Syntel employee." "Let's see if we can get the whiz kid in here to give us a hand." "Whiz kid?" " I assume you're talking about me." " Oh, Charlie." "I didn't, you know..." "I'll choose to take it as a compliment." " Thanks for coming." " No problem." " Did the kid see anything?" " If he did, he's not saying anything." " I didn't know Lucinda Shay had a kid." " Yeah." "A boy named Daniel." " What, you knew her?" " I met her a few times." "When the scandal first broke at the SEC," "I was asked to examine the accounting related to Syntel's partnerships." "She was very helpful." "Yeah, sweetheart plea bargain will do that for you." "I don't think she understood what Syntel was doing, but once she figured, she blew the whistle." "Was her son there when?" " Yeah." " What can I do?" "We're putting together a list of former employees and shareholders." "Maybe you could narrow it down." "I've already analysed the company's SEC filings." "That's a pretty good picture of who made money, who lost money." "All right, well, whatever you can do, we appreciate it." " You got it." " Thanks." "What's gonna happen to her son?" "We don't know." "She was a single parent." "We're trying to run down the father, any other relative, but so far, no luck." "I'll be right back, okay?" "How's he doing?" "There's some blunt affect in response to the trauma." "What's that?" "Some kind of posttraumatic shock kind of thing?" "A little." "This is more immediate, hopefully it's temporary." "But he's like an overloaded circuit, he's just shut down right now." " I'm gonna need him to talk to us." " I know that." " But he's too fragile right now." " I know," " but if he knows who shot his mother..." " It's exactly the problem." "He probably did." "And he's a little boy and he's terrified." "If we push him too far now, we may never get what we need." "All right." "All right." "Hi, Daniel." "I'm Don Eppes." "Remember, from before?" "Look, I'm sorry about what happened to your mom." "I know how rough this must be for you." "What you must be thinking." "Actually, I don't know what you're thinking." "But I do know something about what you're feeling." "You know, not too long ago, my mom died." "Yeah." "She was like the one person who had the right answer for everything." "You know, I mean, all the time." "And then, all of the sudden, she was gone." "Here's what I'm hoping, that you and I maybe could partner up." "Maybe help each other out." "I need to know if you saw anything this morning, Daniel." "No." "Are you sure?" "The doorbell rang." "Your mom answered it?" "Did you hear any voices?" "Just the gun." "What about after?" "Did you see anything?" "Hear anyone?" "All right, okay." "Hey, that's a good start." "Good job." "I want..." "I want her to come back." "Yeah." "I know you do." "Me too." "Charles?" " I wish you wouldn't do that." " Sorry." "Why are you splitting a tree-pruning algorithm?" "I'm trying to reduce a cumbersome set of variables to a common point." "Okay, well, a bit of pruning I understand, but why divide it into subsets?" "Because I'm dealing with two different groups of suspects." "Each with almost opposite motives for committing the same crime." "One set lost money and wants revenge." "The other, made money and wants to keep it." " Oh, this is about Syntel Corp." " How do you know that?" "Well, I heard about the chief financial officer being killed." "You might recall, I lost a considerable investment in Syntel." "Well, you got an alibi for this morning?" " I'm kidding." " Oh, no." "Don't be so quick to dismiss me as a suspect." " Why?" "How much did you lose?" " A hundred and seventy-five thousand." " Dollars?" " In my defence," "I didn't count on being defrauded." "Are you okay?" "Financially?" "Let's say the words "publish or perish" have taken on a brand-new meaning." "But, yeah, I mean, fortunately I've hedged my bets on Google." "Well, help me, then." "I've got to combine two different groups of suspects according to monetary incentives and risk reward ratios." "We need to rank them according to motive for committing the murder." " That's right." " What do these variables express?" "Well, I derived them from the bankruptcy data." "I assigned probability values to motives according to current circumstances." "Current circumstances?" "Like what, where are they now?" " Right." " Okay." "Charles..." "Just as a thought experiment, what if you didn't know the story of the Garden of Eden?" " Adam and Eve." " Let's say you met them after they were exiled from Eden." "Now, if they both suffered equally under the same punishment, how would you know which of them had taken a bite from the forbidden fruit?" "The outcome doesn't provide us enough information to discern the inputs." "If I really wanna figure out who's guilty," "I've got to reconstruct the original fraud at Syntel." "Precisely." "You've got to go back to the apple." "I'm always happy to take a walk in the park." "Well, just so you know, I know you're prosecuting Thomas Galway and other Syntel executives." "You caught the Lucinda Shay murder." "Yeah." "I guess it's true what they say, "Dark clouds do have silver linings."" "You're too kind to me." "Look, I figure losing your witness is obviously not gonna be great for your case." "Without Shay's testimony," "I can't prove Galway authorized bogus Syntel accounting." "Right." "Can you put the murder on him?" "You think a CEO of a Fortune 500 company would kill a federal witness?" "Pulled the trigger?" "Probably not." "Galway's pond scum." "If hanging onto 40 million is involved..." "All right, where do I find him?" " At the moment, he's in Vancouver." " What?" "Galway rubbed some pretty powerful elbows." " Judge gave him a travel pass." " Unbelievable." "He should be back tomorrow." "Not that it matters." " Why do you say that?" " The guy's got a legion of attorneys." "There's no way they're gonna let him talk to the FBI." "What if I offer him protection?" "A revenge thing." "I knew there was a reason I liked you." "If he turns me down, he's guilty." "If he's involved in Lucinda's murder, the guy knows he's not in any danger, right?" " It just might get you in the door." " That's what I'm thinking." "Thanks." "No problem." "It turns out I'm a pretty cheap date." " Hey, Charlie." " Hey, seen Don?" "He went to meet that prosecutor on the Syntel case." "They're working some angle to get us close to the executives that are about to go on trial." "Good." "Because my analysis is taking longer than I anticipated." " Why is that?" " I realized that the only way to accurately assess motive for any of these suspects is to reconstruct the original fraud." "Oh, yeah?" "How long will that take?" "I need to correlate functions from several million transactions in Syntel's trading business, but if I use the supercomputer at school," " it should only take a few hours." " Few hours?" "Sounds good." "I'll give them the "I'm trying to stop a killer" line." "Maybe they'll push me up." " There you go." " Thanks, Charlie." "How's our kid doing?" "I guess he's a little better, but, you know, how would any of us be doing in this situation?" " Any word from Family Services?" " There is no father in the picture." "And we've found a grandmother in Bethany, Oklahoma." "She has a heart condition and she can't fly." " So, what happens to him?" " Tonight, he'll go to this group home." "Oh, come on, you gotta be kidding me." "That's a nightmare." "You know those places." "I know but I called WITSEC and they won't put a minor into custody without a court order." "It's really not any better than a group home is, anyway." "I don't want him to get twisted, till whatever chance we have of getting what he knows is gone." "Well, I don't like this at all, but..." "You and I aren't set up to take care of a kid." "What are we supposed to do?" " Charlie, is that you?" " No, Dad, it's me." " How're you doing?" " Fine." "What are you doing here so late?" " Dinner's been put away already." " No, that's okay." "If you're looking for Charlie, he's not here." "Actually, I think I can talk to you." "I mean, I'm sure he'll be okay with it." "And who is this?" "This is Daniel." "Are you sure we can do this?" "I mean, legally?" "Yeah, I mean, do you remember my friend Nadine, that prosecutor?" "She said it was okay." "Plus, Witness Protection wouldn't take him." "You do realise that if anything happened to him it's our responsibility." "I know, you're right, it's not a good idea." " I don't know, I mean..." " As opposed to what?" "Putting him in a home the same night his mother was murdered?" "That's what I thought." "What I meant was, something better not happen to him." " Yeah, I know." " Don't worry, don't worry." " You did the right thing." " Thanks." "Hey, buddy." "He makes a pretty good sandwich." "Mom's is better." "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm sure that's true." "I was thinking about what you asked me." "You know, about what I saw." "There was a car." "After I heard the gunshot, I looked out the window." "Do you remember what kind of car it was?" "It was black, or blue maybe." "Big." "But not as big as an SUV." "You think if I showed you some pictures, maybe you'd remember?" "I mean, you just have to do the best you can." " So did you find them?" " Who?" "The people who killed my mom." "Why do you think?" "Are you remembering something?" "They were talking at your office." "They said there were, like, 6,000 people that wanted to kill my mom." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "That's not..." "That's not..." "I think the thing is, sometimes, when we don't know who the bad guys are, we start with a really big list, and it doesn't mean everyone on it wanted to hurt your mom." "I mean, in fact, I really think we're probably just looking for one person." "Where am I gonna sleep?" "I thought I'd put you up in my room." "How's that?" " Where will you sleep?" " I don't live here anymore." "It's from when I was a kid." "It's a pretty good room." " I think you'll like it." " But you'll stay, right?" "You're not gonna leave?" "Yeah, I can stay, sure." "Yeah, you got it." "Here's another one for Lucinda Shay." ""If God strikes you down tomorrow, my prayers have been answered."" "Buddy, that doesn't even move the needle." "Look at this one." ""I'm gonna bleed you dry, bitch, just like you bled my family."" " Tell me this guy's up on the board." " Yeah, big time." "He's right there." "We're not narrowing it down, are we?" "Well, Don's still waiting to hear back from Charlie." "I figured one of the executives for this." "Maybe even Galway." "But there's some real hostility here, man." "You can't blame them." "These people got shafted when Syntel went bankrupt." "They lost their life savings, their pensions." "Meantime, the executives, including Lucinda Shay," " they all got rich." " Yeah." "Hey, either of you guys find something on Morton Standbury?" "Oh, yeah." "Morton Standbury." "Here he is." "He's in marketing." "Pretty low level, though." "Why?" "He's got a bunch of write-ups in his HR file." "Supervisor said he had a quick temper." "We should be concentrating on the threats." "We read this guy's letters, they all seem to be pretty tame." "The more aggressive stuff is therapeutic." "It's kind of giving a voice to your rage." "It's not nice, but it's healthy." "Standbury, on the other hand, his anger is controlled." "It's almost methodical." "He blew up at his exit interview." "So much so that they pushed for a psych consult." " Sounds like he goes up on the board." " Yeah." " You were here last night." " Oh, yeah." "Why didn't you sleep in your room?" "Dad went out?" "Yeah, he went to pick up some food." "Right?" "So who's upstairs?" "Look, I couldn't get ahold of you." "I asked him and he said it'd be okay." " Okay for what?" " For Lucinda Shay's kid to stay here." "Of course, yeah, that's fine." "Daniel Shay is upstairs." "I also need another favour." "I've gotta get to the airport to see if I can catch Galway." "Do you think you could hang here until he gets back?" "You need me to babysit?" "I don't think it's a good idea to leave him alone." "I agree." "Actually, I have a way with children, so..." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah, I've been told I do." "It's just for 10 minutes." "I'll introduce you." "Thanks." "Stay in the vehicle, sir." "Hands on the dashboard, please." "Thank goodness we're offering him protection." "FBI." "I assume you all have permits for those bulges in your jackets." " What's your deal here?" " Private detail for Mr. Galway." "If you wanna know more, you'll have to speak to him." "I do wanna know more, I wanna see permits too." " Thomas Galway." " Is there a problem?" " Don Eppes, FBI." " I'm Agent Megan Reeves." "I'm Edward Barret." "I'm Mr. Galway's attorney." "What's this about?" "We've reason to believe your client here, his life might be in danger." " Is he joking?" " Do we seem like we're kidding?" "I assume this concerns the death of Lucinda Shay?" "Well, it's a murder, actually." "We have no reason to believe it doesn't." "Unless you know something we don't." "I've got nothing to say." "For someone who was just told their life's in danger, you don't seem afraid." "Dad." "My father did receive a threat on his life early yesterday morning." "Malcolm." "I received a note at the house." "Is there any reason you didn't notify us?" "You expect me to notify the people who are trying to put me in prison?" "I expect to see that note, sir." "And I will." "We'll be waiting for your subpoena." "That went really well." "Miss your mom, huh?" "Yeah." "Miss my wife sometimes." "I lost her about a year and a half ago." "You know, it's really okay to miss someone that you love." "I think somewhere, it might even make them happy." "Sounds weird, huh?" "No." "No." "You just reminded me of Don." " Really?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I'll tell you a secret." "When he was your age, he would never let anyone see him cry." "He wanted everyone to think that he was a tough guy." "Still does sometimes." "So, what is that you're reading?" "It's a book on cars." "Don gave it to me." "He's trying to help me remember." "Can I see it?" "So does he ever cry now?" "Who, Don?" "I don't know." "Some wise man once told him that it was all right to cry when he's sad." "And..." "This wise man, well, he's hoping that someday Don's gonna figure out it's okay." "Are you that wise man?" "Well, that's another secret." "Charlie, Don sent me down to check and see what you've got from the supercomputer." "He must not have gotten my message." "I guess not." "Oh, can I take one of these?" " Which message?" " There was a glitch in the data run." "Can you just tell me which one you're taking?" " This red one." " That's very interesting." "Okay." "So how little is this glitch?" "Because Megan profiled seven ex-employees, all who have the potential to be the killer." "And anything you have might help us take this guy down before he has a chance to shoot another Syntel exec." "I think I have one of these names on my list, actually." "Yeah, Morton Standbury." "But the probability of Morton's guilt is less than 10 percent." " That's hardly conclusive." " Awesome." "Thanks." "David, hey, it's me." "Listen, Megan was right on with her hunch." "The Standbury guy's a match." " How'd you find him?" " The wife's credit card you gave us." " What'd she have to say?" " That Standbury's angry." "Blames Syntel for their situation." "She thinks he might've cracked." " Is he here?" " Talked to the manager." "He hasn't seen him." "But I showed him the warrant and he gave us the key." "He's on the third floor." "There's two stairwells, but this one over here is blocked off because of a earthquake retrofit." "Let's check it out." "Morton Standbury!" "FBI." "We have a warrant!" " Clear." " Clear." "Oh, boy." "Oh, check this out." "I've got Thomas Galway, Lucinda Shay, and the whole slew of Syntel execs." "That's everybody." " I'll take the stairway." " I'm with you." "Put the bag down and stop." "I said, put the bag down and stop running." "Drop the bag." "He's got a gun." "David, Megan, he's got a gun." "Gun." "Ma'am, step inside, step inside." "Put it down now." "Drop the gun." "Drop it." "Don't make this harder than it needs to be, Mr. Standbury." " I'm not doing anything for you." " We're FBI." " We just wanna talk to you." " You're FBI?" "I talked to your wife, Mr. Standbury." "She's very worried about you." "My wife?" "What are you?" "How do I know that you're who you say you are?" "Okay?" "Here you go." "Now toss the gun." "All right." "Toss the bag." "Down on your knees." "On your knees." " Hands behind your head now." " You do not understand, please." "Let me stop them." "We're more worried about stopping you now, Mr. Standbury." "Do you think he sent it?" " The Galway death threat?" " Yeah." "Standbury's letters to Lucinda Shay were different." "You know, they were long, detailed accusations." "And this one just says, "You're next."" " So, no, it doesn't fit the pattern." " Did the lab get anything?" "Apparently, there's nothing to get." "There's just a fax." "Sent directly to the courier." "Well, there's a tag line on the sending machine." "It was sent from a computer and we didn't find one at the motel." "David and Colby are tossing the house now." "But, you know, he really could've sent it from any public terminal." "Right." "But he's saying this whole thing is just a misunderstanding." " And what does he mean by that?" " I don't know." "You'll have to ask him." "He's refusing to speak to anyone but the lead agent on the investigation." "Tell me what you're doing with surveillance photos of the Syntel executives, Mr. Standbury." " Are you the man in charge here?" " As far as you're concerned, I am." "You guys really dropped the ball on Lucinda Shay, didn't you?" "Are you proud of what you did?" "Is that it?" "I got her 11-year-old boy out there." "You wanna tell him about it?" "Don't you dare try to put that woman's murder on me." " I told you people." " You told us what?" "They think they're gonna get away with it, but they're not." "Killing her, it's not gonna matter." "They want to play hardball with Morton Standbury, well, they don't know what hardball is." "I've been collecting evidence for the lawyer lady." "You're talking about the U.S. attorney?" "She thinks she knows what's going on, but she doesn't." "The people that she's after, she's not going to find them." "No?" "I tried to tell her." "I lost everything." "My job, my savings." "But they're not gonna get away with it." "What are you doing?" "Didn't see you there." "What is all that?" "I'm trying to resolve an anomaly in my data." "What does that mean?" "It means that something in this big equation here doesn't make sense and I'm trying to figure out why." "It's as if those that made money and those that lost money are cancelling each other out." "Your brother said you knew my mom." "Yeah, I did." "I didn't know her well, you know, I only met her a couple of times." "But I liked her." "What she did took a lot of courage." "She was pretty nervous." "She didn't think I knew." "But I did." "Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing." "That's what she always says." "You know, that nobody's perfect." "It is an imperfect world, isn't it?" "Your mother was a very smart lady." "Yeah, I remember him." "He called my office a bunch of times, told my assistant he had evidence against Syntel." " Did you talk to him?" " He showed up with a bag full of magazine cut-outs and stuff he got off the Internet." "We had him pegged as a nut." "Well, he's a nut with an alibi." "Three people at Kinko's remember him." "He was there all day photocopying stuff out of the grocery bag." "Great." "So here we are back at square one." "Not necessarily." "Your brother's here." "He's really excited about something." "Oh, yeah?" "To properly assess the motive for killing Lucinda Shay," "I needed to reconstruct the original fraud at Syntel." " And you were able to do that?" " Yes." "And I think you have a very strong case against Syntel, by the way." "The Eppes family's full of silver linings." "So Syntel was an energy company, right?" " Yes." "Natural gas, oil, electricity." " Right." "But where they really made their money was trading energy futures." " There's nothing illegal about that." " You're right, however, when I was analysing the trading patterns at Syntel," "I found a trading group who was perfect." " Always." "Never wrong." "Once." " How can they never be wrong?" "Trading futures is really just betting on the price of something in the future." "And these traders manipulated the future." "So you're saying they're cheating?" "Syntel controlled key sections of the power grid." "So all they had to do was shut down a switch, say it was for maintenance and the energy supply was restricted." " And demand drives up the price." " Exactly." " How much are we talking here?" " These five traders made profits of 312 million dollars." "Three hundred?" "Charlie, can you prove this?" "The proof is in the perfection." ""Nobody's perfect" is not just an expression." "In this case, it's a statistically demonstrable fact." "Our case against Galway was focused on debts that Syntel was hiding on offshore companies." "But these Syntel traders..." "This is the first I've heard about it." "And I didn't figure it out until I re-engineered the fraud." "It wasn't obvious." "You'd have to look for it like I was." "Or be the author of the original accounting." "Lucinda Shay designed all of Syntel's financial-reporting systems." "Could she have found it?" "Yes, I think there's a very high probability that she would have." "I think that she must've been killed to hide this." "Right." "So we might be looking at the wrong group here." "You definitely are." "Before I factored in this manipulation by the traders, none of the executives who were indicted or their former employees scored nearly high enough to be considered suspects." "Any idea who does?" "Five perfect traders." "Those are the people you should be looking for." "So I thought Charlie cleared Galway along with the other executives?" "Well, I asked Charlie to run his motive model again, factoring in the possibility that someone knew Lucinda Shay was onto the fraud." " And?" " Mr. Galway popped back into view." "So if he's a part of the fraud then..." " He sent himself a death threat?" " Makes him look a target." "Gets us to take our eyes off him as a suspect." "Yeah, I'll call you back." " Agent Eppes." " We're looking for your father." " We were told we might find him here." " He just left." "Is there a problem?" "Is it about the note?" "I'm sorry." "We don't discuss ongoing investigations." "My father is under a lot of pressure right now, okay?" "Yeah, committing stock fraud could do that to you." "And I know what you're thinking." "But a CEO of a company like Syntel cannot be responsible for everything everyone is doing at his company." "Was your father involved in the trading business at all?" "It's one of our most profitable divisions." "Well, most profitable for some, right?" "You know, I don't think my father should talk to you guys after all." "What are you worried about?" "Your father is just an innocent CEO, right?" "If your father's involved in murder, protecting him" " lands you in a hell of a lot of trouble." " My father is not a murderer." "Someone left Lucinda's son without a mother." "An 11-year-old boy." "Do you still think your father shouldn't talk to us?" "What are you doing here?" "Is everything all right?" "I was at the airport." "I'd swing by to see..." "This is not on the way from the airport." " Whatever." "Where is he?" " He's right here." "Oh, thanks." "Hey, buddy." "How you doing?" "I've been trying to remember, but I can't." "That's okay." "Don't worry about it." "Look, if it's in here, it will come out." "I mean, when you're ready, you'll probably be able to see it just like you were there." "So don't stress about it, okay?" "Can I get you anything?" "What's going on?" "Are you okay?" "The bad guys." "Would they come after me?" "Look, I'll tell you what." "That's not gonna happen." "You wanna know why?" "Because we're partners." "Partners get each other's backs and nothing's gonna happen." "Okay?" "Because you're my partner." "All right?" "Oh, and they spoke to your grandmother." " They did?" " She's making arrangements to get you and she's very excited to see you." "Look, Daniel, I'll be honest with you." "It's gonna be tough for a while, but you'll get through it." "You're gonna be okay." "You know how I know that?" "Because I'm a good judge of people." "And you're gonna be okay." "All right?" "I'll check in with you later." "What?" "Nothing." "Do you have any idea what I could do with 300 million dollars?" "Three hundred and 12." " You said you were all right." " No, I am." "I'm talking about my application for the Talis Foundation research grant." "Why are you worried?" "Because Ivan Tsgorski has taken over the chairmanship of the grant committee." "You attacked his theory on polarization flux." "I merely pointed out certain characteristics of gravitational waves that he had chosen to ignore." "Larry, I was there when he gave that paper." "And you stood up and you called him a big fat cheater in front of people." "Well, no, now you're exaggerating." "That room could not have been more than half full." " Might we get back on task?" " All right, okay." "The money, the money, the money." "The money is not where we thought it would be." "It should show up in the company's cash flow statements after the fraudulent transactions." " Yeah, but it doesn't." " No." "You know, all these funds, they would've been transferred electronically, correct?" "I imagine so." "Electronic transactions have no mass, and cannot be constrained in the manner of physical objects." "But they are bound by time, Larry." "And time only flows one way." "Are you aware you have standing water in this corner?" "I know about the leak." "I called maintenance." "And?" "And they've gotta tear out the wall to find the source of the leak." "What is with you today, Larry?" "All I ask is for a little focus." "Now, what are we missing?" "What are you doing?" "I'm finding the leak." "You're making a mess." "Well, by staining the currents, we can observe the ink spread out in the pooled water, and then figure out the flow pattern." "And once we know how it flows..." "Yeah, you see?" "It's not coming down from the wall." "It's coming up from the floor." "We were assuming the money flowed downstream from the transactions." "So we were looking for it after the trades." "But the money was diverted upstream." "Upstream?" "You're saying the money's moved before the trades." "To an offshore partnership set up in the Syntel executives' original fraud." "I applied principals of fluid dynamics to the cash flow statements." "I found that the money was transferred through a series of loans." "The traders used the fraud to hide the theft." " Precisely." " Wait." "Someone eventually would figure out that $300 million was missing." "The traders knew that the loans would be written off in bankruptcy, and after that, no one would come looking for the money." "No one except Lucinda Shay." "Guys, you better come see this." " You find the traders?" " Not exactly." " Run the Social Security Numbers?" " That's the problem." "Show us." "Run them again." " See?" " Yeah, run the next one." "It's the same thing." "These traders don't exist." "That doesn't make sense." "How can they not be real?" "It does makes sense." "Just a different kind of sense." " What does that even mean?" " Remember..." "The traders were too good to be true." "It's reasonable to expect that they are actually false." "Did Standbury say these people weren't real?" "No, he said we would never find them." " What do you think, he figured it out?" " I don't know, but he's right." " Where are we right now?" " The suspect must be from Syntel's trading business." "That variable hasn't changed." "I've been through Syntel's HR reports." "Eppes." "Wait, hold on, Dad, slow down, you're not making any sense." "All right, don't touch anything, don't leave." "I'm on my way." " What's up?" " The kid is missing." "I left him alone." "It couldn't have been more than five minutes." " It's okay, Mr. Eppes." "We'll find him." " I went to the kitchen to get soda." "He was standing right over there, right by the table." "This isn't your fault." "Calm down." "This is not helping the situation." "I understand, Dad." "I talked to David." "He said he found something in Syntel's records." "Hold on a second." "Charlie, we gotta keep a line clear." "Dad said he saw him here." "I hit redial." "It's National Cab Company." "Cab?" "Why the hell would he take a cab?" " I'm on the cab." " Call me as soon as you get anything." "Megan, come with me." "I think I know where he is." "Go that way." "I'll check upstairs." "Daniel." "Are you okay, buddy?" "Yeah?" "You got us pretty worried." " I'm sorry." " You don't have to be sorry." "I'm glad you're okay." "Did you come back to see if you can remember the car?" "It was a Mercedes." "I saw the circle in the book." "You remembered." "Good job." "These are employment records for the five traders." "Look who signed as the hiring manager." " Are they all the same?" " Yep." "Hold on." "Eppes." "Okay." "Thanks for the heads up." "The judge approved Galway's request to leave the country." "Get your hands on the car!" " Hands on the car." "Out of the car!" " All right." "Driver, grab a piece of the car." "We cleared this through the appropriate channels." " You've no right to detain Mr. Galway." " Yeah, it's Junior I'm after." "We only have a warrant for him." "You represent him too?" " What are the charges?" " The murder of Lucinda Shay." "Go ahead, Malcolm, take your moment." "Tell your dad." "What is he talking about?" "He moved $300 million through one of your offshore trading accounts." "And then he authored a scam to cover his tracks." "It's probably what brought Syntel down." "Is that true?" "Look, I was a Baker Scholar, Dad, at Harvard." " You put me on a trading desk." " I wanted you to learn the business." "Learn the business?" "You were taking nickels and dimes." "I earned $300 million, Dad." "So you orphaned a little boy and 6,000 people lost their jobs so you could prove that you were a bigger thief than your father?" "You're a bigger something." "Let's go, Junior." "Hey, Malcolm, is that your car?" "Oh, hey, I almost forgot." "Look, we don't give these to a lot of people." "All right?" "So you're one of us now." "Okay, partner?" "Call me whenever you want." "Your grandma's gonna be waiting for you when you get to the airport, so you've got nothing to worry about." "All right?" "It's okay to cry about your mom." "I mean, if you never did." "Thanks." "Come on, you don't wanna miss your flight now, do you?" "All right, buddy." "Good man." "Thanks very much." "Take it easy." "What?" "My hope for grandchildren has been rekindled." " Don't start." " I'm not making a request." " I'm simply saying it would be nice." " Come on." "Dad, you do realise how long the odds actually are for this man." "Charlie, what's your problem, huh?" "Given your dating patterns, absence of any dating pattern." "Look, I wouldn't talk if I were you, buddy." "I'm crunching numbers." "I'm on course to be way ahead of you." " Yeah, yeah." " That makes sense, you're older." "Hey, keep it up." "It's a long walk home."
