DAVID:
Mary Velasco, 29,
found murdered
in her apartment.
Initial suspect was
her boyfriend Clay Porter.
COLBY:
Former Marine.
Now, Porter was
part of a unit
suspected of torturing
Iraqi detainees.
I didn't do anything
except watch you guys
and follow the case.
For Mary,
I wanted to see justice done.
A friend of mine pulled
his Pentagon file.
An inquiry found Clay Porter
innocent of charges in Iraq.
Actually, it turns out he was
the guy who blew the whistle.
Looks like Porter got
his justice.
VI HehoJad rr LBY:
And now Corcoran.
We checked out
Clay Porter's apartment.
Yeah, the guy's
cleared out.
Yeah, he's probably
in Mexico, right?
Brought to you by : Robbo
Numb3rs s03e13
Yeah.
Yeah, come on.
Yeah, that's it, come on.
Oh, damn! What's wrong
with that boy?
You know that man's
lost a step.
Me, too, but I don't make
$30 million a year.
It's not all about basketball.
Have you seen his underwear ad?
Hey, I don't want
to hear this.
Why that
alarm going off?
I'm baking
brownies, Daddy.
Burning them's
more like it.
Down on the floor now!
Hey!
I said
Don't, don't, don't hurt us,
take what you want.
I said on the floor!
Daddy!
Laurie.
I'm not going to ask you again.
Is anyone else here?
No.
Back rooms are clear.
Check the kitchen.
CHARLIE:
I-I was with that movie
all the way until that ending.
Yeah, I know, it was like
The Sopranos all over again.
Yeah, and I was right
about that, too.
Hey.
Hi.
Professor Waldie.
What are you doing here
on a school night?
Alan requested a consultation.
Yeah, I figured if we're going
to "green" the house,
couldn't go wrong
with the head
of Cal Sci Engineering,
could I?
Great idea.
This looks more like
a NASA enterprise
than a home improvement project.
Well, to maximize
efficiency of the solar panels,
we would mount them at the
same angle as our latitude.
That way, they're parallel
to the earth's axis.
But we're thinking
about mechanizing the mounts,
so they follow the sun--
a "sunflower system.
"
And--
What's this here?
ALAN:
Ah, now this-- we're
converting the furnace
to burn renewable biomass
fuel-- uh, corn pellets.
Uh, what?
It's low-emission,
Huh?
It kind of looks like a silo.
It's a cylindrical granary,
you know, to store
the corn.
Uh, where are you planning on
putting it-- in our backyard?
Yes, I was hoping
that you would help me
with a geo-survey
of the site plan.
Dad, you realize
this thing is 20 feet tall?
No, 21.
Hey, Larry,
I thought
you were at the monastery.
Uh, yeah, I was.
There was a bit
of an altercation.
He, um,
punched out Brother Theo--
something
about bringing beer in.
Since when
do you drink beer?
Since when do you
punch people out?
As recent events in Lhasa
have amply demonstrated,
Buddhist monks are well-versed
in the art of violent protest.
ROBIN:
That was nice.
DON:
Mm-hmm.
Want to go for round two?
Mm-hmm.
Don't.
Don't.
I got no choice.
I'll make it
worth your while.
Hey, Liz.
Hey.
Uh, I got a home invasion--
family in Torrance.
I think you're gonna want
to see this for yourself.
All right
I'll be there in 30.
All right?
Okay.
I got to go.
I thought Liz was
working Narcotics.
We're, uh, we're shorthanded,
so I called her back.
Now she's calling you.
Still number one
on her speed dial.
Aw, come on, don't do that;
it's not like that.
Yeah?
Then why are you putting
on a clean shirt?
Okay, we got a home invasion
an hour ago.
Robbery?
Abduction--the owner of the house
and his 20-year-old daughter.
The victim's name
is Clay Porter.
Porter, like
the guy we liked
for the double homicide
six months ago?
Yeah, the ex-Marine.
Blew away two serial killers
that murdered his girlfriend.
Right, we thought
he was in Mexico.
Yeah.
Guy grabbed up tonight
is Clay Porter Sr.
-- his dad.
Now, the neighbors described
three men, white van.
Got away clean,
but they did make one mistake.
Which is?
Left a witness.
Hey, Jenna, this is Agent
Eppes and Agent Granger.
Hey, Jenna, how you doing?
You can call me Don, okay?
It all happened
so fast.
I was in the kitchen.
I heard them.
I wanted to call,
get help, do something.
I was st so scared.
Yeah, I'm sure
it was really scary.
But if you could just, you
know, help us out a little bit,
tell us what you saw,
maybe what you heard
I saw them.
Who?
The one who was
giving the orders,
he stayed in
the living room,
but the other two-- I saw them.
You saw their faces?
I know them;
I recognized them
from pictures
of my brother's squad.
He e-mailed them
back from Iraq.
Jenna, are you saying
that the men who did this
were Marines?
Marines ?????
Both served in Clay Porter's unit,
both were on leave
till yesterday,
when they went AWOL.
This is Marine Captain Ryan
Ferraro, unit squad leader.
He was shipped back
three months ago
to serve trial.
For?
Torture
and *** of an Iraqi detainee.
He was busted out of
the brig yesterday
with the help of Carlos Ruiz
and James Pinkney.
How do you figure--
fugitives, right?
I mean, what are they going
after Porter's family for?
Try revenge.
Porter was the guy
who blew the whistle on Ferraro.
Porter's been hiding out
in Mexico.
I mean, the best way to get
at him is to get to his family.
Looks like Ferraro
already contacted him.
He crossed the border
five hours ago.
Used a fake I.
D.
,
already ditched the truck.
DAVID:
He has to know
we're looking for him.
He shot two men
six months ago,
executed them in cold blood.
And now these guys have
his family?
This is going to be a war.
Ferraro faked
a heart attack
to get out of the brig.
En route to
the hospital,
Pinkney and Ruiz hijacked
the transport,
overpowered the guards.
And just drove away?
No, they flew; they were
picked up in a chopper,
but the guards
couldn't I.
D.
the pilot.
Doctors say the fake heart
attack was induced by meds,
so someone sneaked them
to Ferraro in the brig.
Well, check that
visitors' log, right?
Yes.
The guy has a wife who
lives nearby,
so we'll start there.
This whole thing-- the brig
break, the home invasion--
they have a real
military op feel to me.
I mean, these Marine Force
Recon guys operate
out of a specific playbook.
Okay, so you're thinking
that if Ferraro and Porter are
trained to act in certain ways,
maybe we'll be able to predict
what their next moves will be.
Yeah, maybe Charlie can
slap it into one of those
algorithmic, geo-profiling,
hot zone, hot pocket deals.
Put it just like that
when you ask him.
I got your message
about creating a model
for how two forces engage
on a field of battle.
Someone's already done
that work.
"Observe.
Orient.
Decide.
Act.
"
An OODA loop.
Yeah, it was developed
by a military strategist
to refine the art
of aerial combat.
I'm strictly a ground guy.
It'll work there, too.
It's really quite simple.
To defeat an enemy,
one must confine
one's decision-making
to a cycle:
observe, orient,
decide, act-- OODA.
Uh, think of it like
like a basketball game.
Each team observes
their opponents,
assesses their skills,
theirtendencies.
Let's say
a player on offense notices
that a player on defense
is weaker to her left,
so she head-fakes right,
crosses over,
takes the ball to the hole.
Next time downcourt,
the defender has learned.
She counters,
but remember, it's a cycle,
so the player on offense adds
a spin move,
takes the ball
to the hole again.
That cycle, repeated over
and over, makes the game.
Things aren't so clean
in combat.
These are the best
I could find.
These are great.
We'll do
everything we can
to find your sister
and your dad.
And my brother?
Same goes for him.
But he'll have to face charges
when we find him.
Lock him up for all I care.
Clay's a muerer.
I don't care
if I never see him.
WOMAN:
I haven't even talked
to my husband, much less
visited him in the brig.
He's been back
almost three months.
You think
I don't know that?
Look, things between Ryan
and me haven't been great,
not since the end
of his first tour.
He believed in Iraq.
So what happened?
When he got home
that first time,
I knew something was off.
I just didn't know
how bad.
He started drinking,
got aggressive, abusive.
Think Ryan would try
to ctact you?
Last contact we had
was my lawyer sending him divorce papers.
Well, I mean,at least we're making progress
on the silo.
Sorry, uh, granary.
Can we focus on the case,
please?
That was
a general invitation.
Larry?
I'm sorry.
Where were we?
How about we start
with where you are.
Well, I mean, given
the vagueness of your question,
I'd have to answer,
"Just another day in paradise.
"
AMITA:
Oh, come on, Larry.
We've been working together
on the Higgs Boson project.
I know something is wrong.
I mean,
you were in a tailspin
long before you punched out
a monk.
It's the Higgs.
You know, much as I
bristle at references
to the "God particle,"
what if it were so?
And what if, in seeing through
the mind of God, we found
just another blind alley
in our search
for the grand unified theory?
You won't know
until you get there.
That's precisely my problem.
I feel like a fraud,
like a man searching
for that
which he hopes not even to find.
You're not thinking
about resigning
from the D-Zero Team, are you?
We got a call from LAPD.
There was a smash and grab
at a gun store last night.
Description matches
Clay Porter.
All right, so it's safe
to say he's armed up.
Yeah, we may have
gotten a little break.
We found a number for Porter
in his dad's address book.
But it goes to a
prepaid cell phone,
which we can't get
a GPS trace on.
So what, dead end?
No, not quite.
We got a list of all the
incoming and outgoing calls
from the service provider.
And, uh, on the night that
Porter's family was taken,
he received a call from another
prepaid cell phone.
Ooh, that sounds like
Ferraro making contact.
Yeah, the phone log shows
a series of calls back
and forth between
the two numbers sent.
Look, these guys are smart,
they're using phones we
can't get a GPS lock on.
But we can get a general
idea of their movements,
within about a four to
six mile coverage zone,
based on cell tower data.
Uh-huh.
So we got Ferraro
moving north,
and Porter following.
So they're
drawing him in.
Yeah.
You get that to Charlie?
I already did.
I used my OODA Loop analysis
to predict our players'
next moves.
These are cell tower
coverage areas
that Ferraro
and Porter have moved
through the last 14 hours.
Ferraro's blue,
red's Porter.
Clearly, Ferraro
is our hunter--
using the hostages as bait.
And Porter's the pursuer.
The location of
the gun store robbery
conforms with
my predictive model.
He'll have to fulfill
other needs, as well.
Uh, shelter--
likely using abandoned
buildings to avoid
detection; provisions,
like high-caloric food
requiring no preparation.
Like MREs or power bars?
Pop-Tarts, Ho Hos,
Sno Balls.
He'll likely
move at night,
convenience stores
his way station
of choice.
I've isolated
these and other high-value
targets in the area.
All right, let's get those
covered, huh?
We're on it.
Spotted Porter 20 minutes ago,
didn't see him leave.
Means he's still inside.
Bathrooms, maybe.
Change of clothes,
getting cleaned up.
Oh-- hang on.
I got him.
All right, SWAT's
on a call-out,
take 'em at least 15 minutes
to get here.
No, he's checking out.
I'm taking the front,
you take the back.
Get out now.
No problem, man.
Porter, don't! Drop it!
Drop it or I will shoot you!
Hands bend your head.
You find everything you need?
??
Bad plan using a fake I.
D.
to cross the border.
It's an honest mistake.
My cousin's visiting,
I picked up his.
The gun store,
was that an honest mistake?
You find any guns on me?
You shouldn't have
come back.
Not after killing two men.
Two serial killers.
From time to time,
God's plan gets a nudge.
The rifle, photograph
of your girl
I mean, you left evidence.
Rubbing our noses in it,
telling us
you could do our job better.
Well, a lot of people could.
Clay, we're not going to
let you take the law into
your own hands again.
I learned the hard way.
In Iraq, here at home
don't trust anyone,
except yourself.
I will save my family.
He's right
about the serial killer murders.
We got no prints, no witnesses.
We have nothing.
Yeah, but this time,
we have a border violation
and assault.
Let him go.
DAVID:
What?!
The guy killed two people.
The lawyers are gonna just
walk him out the door.
Don, do you even hear
what you're saying?
Yeah.
Do you?
A couple of weeks ago,
we're holding onto a guy
we couldn't hold,
and, uh, now we're letting one
go that we can.
Just having a hard
time keeping track.
Just grab yourself some coffee.
You guys are gonna
have a long night.
Okay.
Dangerous game.
It's the only game we got.
You know, we lock him up,
and they're going to
kill his family.
I get what you're doing.
You're trying to save
two innocent lives
by letting Porter go,
and keeping eyes on him.
Bad guys lead Porter
to them, he leads us
to the hostages.
But come on
baiting the hook?
It's not exactly policy.
Oh, you got a problem?
What, you want to
file a report?
Jenna.
Go back to
Mexico, Clay.
Let the FBI handle this.
Jenna, I can't do that.
No, you have to do
things your way.
None of this would
have happened
if you thought of us first.
I am thinking of you.
And Laurie, and dad.
Jenna, I'm gonna get them back.
You're gonna get them killed.
I know you guys are busy
but I was just wondering
how the geo-survey
was coming.
Well, I've come upon
an inconvenient truth--
the optimum site
for our granary,
uh, is right outside
my bedroom window.
Mmm.
I'm guessing you're not
happy about that.
CHARLIE:
Given that, for over 30 years,
I've enjoyed
an unobstructed view
of our koi pond, no.
Well, you know, we all have
to sacrifice, Charlie.
CHARLIE:
Yeah, I understand
that, Dad, but
those koi and I have shared
so much together.
You're going to share a lot more
when the ice
caps start to melt.
If you've got a problem
about this--
You know what
my problem is, Dad?
That this was my idea,
and you did not consult me.
And without any consultation
there's no collaboration.
Oh, I see-- you're all
for greening the planet,
but not in your backyard.
Says you
whose bedroom looks out
over the arbor.
That went well.
COLBY:
This guy leads us around
all night by our nose,
and brings us back here.
He's just screwing with us.
Porter's getting to you, huh?
I don't like a guy
who thinks
a Purple Heart
gives him a free pass.
Thought you boys looked hungry.
Tall caramel macchiato.
And chocolate croissant.
Do I know the way to this girl's
heart or what?
You're pulling out
all the stops.
That's right.
So 11:00 last night,
I get a call from my boss
telling me to be ready
to file charges
against Clay Porter.
This morning
I find out
he's on the street.
How's that work?
A good lawyer.
This isn't my first week, Don.
Okay, so maybe let me
protect you on this one.
I don't need your protection.
Well, that's not what you said
at the Ritz.
Maybe we jumped back into bed
a little too fast.
All right, all right.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
I was out of line.
But come on, give me a break.
I mean, you wouldn't grill
another agent like that.
I'm not sleeping
with another agent.
Okay.
I guess I got to go to work.
I'll see you.
Thanks for the breakfast.
Yeah.
Don't tell me you guys
don't accept free food.
I'm done playing,
Porter.
The hero of
Ranger company speaks.
Don't guess
you were playing
when you were in Kumar
Province either, huh?
I got friends, too.
Access to Army files.
I like to know my enemies.
You read my FBI file,
as well?
You're a Fed.
You wear a suit and carry a gun.
That's all I need.
They're gonna kill my family.
If you're not part
of the solution,
you're part of the problem.
Force Recon taught me that.
Playing the "bad war" bad-***
is not gonna get
your family back.
What do you know
about "bad wars"?
Chasing Bin Laden in '01 don't
compare to what's going on now.
Yeah, yeah, I heard the stories.
Oh, you heard the stories.
Well, talk to me when you've seen women
and children blown up
by a 50 cal.
Or a school after
a mortar attack.
Huh?
Or a man tortured by your own guys,
until he begs you to kill him.
You fought the "bad war"
when it was good.
Porter's in the wind, but
we I.
D.
'd the helo pilot
that helped Ferraro's
crew escape.
His name's Jake Renner.
Works at an aviation firm.
Ex-Marine,
served with Ferraro.
Now, phone dumps show
Ferraro's wife
called Renner the day
before the brig break.
Day after, too.
She's in on it.
We also traced calls
from Ferraro's cell
to a real estate office.
On the run,
with two hostages.
This isn't a great time
to be buying a house.
Well, get this:
it's the same office
where Ferraro's wife
answers phones part-time.
She's been talking to her husband.
All right, bring her in.
And we got an address
on the pilot?
Yep.
Aviation company boss says
Renner keeps to himself,
not the most
neighborly guy, I guess.
Door.
Somebody downloaded
his files.
Remind me not to fly
with this guy.
You hear that?
Yeah.
Oh
Guess I don't have to
worry about that flight.
LIZ:
Looks like Porter got
what he wanted.
And we got another
body to prove it.
Jake Renner is dead.
I know that you've talked to him.
Uh, Jake was a friend.
I also know
you've been in contact with your husband,
and just so we're clear,
you're looking
at accessory to ***
so you'd be out
when you're about 50 years old,
if you're lucky.
Ryan promised me things
would be different.
We'd start over.
So you arranged the brig break?
I paid Jake $15,000.
What about
that fake heart attack?
I bribed a medic, $5,000.
He slipped Ryan meds
in the brig.
I've been through
your bank accounts,
and you don't have
that kind of money.
Ryan sent it to me from Iraq.
Almost $50,000.
Where did Ryan get it om?
I don't know, but he said
that there was more
where that came from.
Where is Ryan?
I don't know,
we only talked once
after the brig break,
when Jake wanted more money.
I swear to you
that I did not know
Ryan was gonna take
Clay Porter's family.
DAVID:
M.
E.
's report came back.
Jake Renner was shot
and killed two nights ago.
All right, so Porter
was with us.
He is off the hook.
Ferraro's wife said Renner
tried to hold him up
for more money
after the brig break.
Ferraro's answer was
a bullet to the head.
Oh, hey, Larry.
You move out
of the motel?
Actually, it's Higgs boson
data from the office.
I was hoping I could prevail
upon you to return it.
How goes the OODA Loop?
It's feeling endless.
After initially working,
the predictive model's
gone off the tracks.
Probabilities say
that Ferraro would've made
his move by now,
led Porter to a killing field
to take his revenge.
Well, Feynman said
everything
can be predicted
if you have enough facts.
Yeah, well, I dot even Feynman
would've predicted
that you'd quit on your ambition
to find the Higgs.
Yeah, my ambition quit on me.
CHARLIE: That's crap, Larry.
Why don't you just tell us
what's really going on?
Uh, enlighten me.
You're not worried that the
discovery of the Higgs
will lead you down
a blind alley.
Just the opposite--
you're worried that,
like your supergravity theory,
like going into space,
it'll end up
being exactly
what you envisioned it to be,
nothing more.
So, still no sign of Porter,
or Ferraro and the hostages.
We arrested the medic
who slipped Ferraro the meds,
but he's not talking.
All right, so where's
the "I told you so"?
You made the call you
thought was right.
Sucks being the boss,
but you know what,
it's not a democracy.
Yeah, tell Robin.
Women giving you trouble--
I find that hard to believe.
Ha, ha.
She thinks I'm hiding something.
Well, you are,
aren't you?
You walked a suspect
out the door.
You're stonewalling her,
and she knows it.
And the fact
that you're sleeping together
only makes it worse.
I mean, any other agent
that burns her,
it's business, you know,
but with you
I don't like not being trusted.
You know, and yes,
I get the irony.
So what are you
gonna do about it?
Hey.
I think I've got something for you.
So, I've been trying
to deduct
where my OODA Loop went wrong,
and then I realized
that the OODA Loop itself
was the problem.
I hate when that happens.
Yeah, so I've been assuming
that the parameters of conflict
between Ferraro and Porter
were established and set.
One guy tries
to save his family,
the other guy tries to kill him.
Seems pretty set to me.
That's totally
what I thought,
but then I realized
that our two players
are really playing
by a different set of rules.
In a basketball game,
the rules are set,
but let's say the players
start creating their own rules.
The offense brings the ball
down however they want,
the defense grabs
and holds them.
The game becomes something
entirely different.
And that's what's going on here?
Not to that extreme,
but I was able to
identify an X-factor
using statistical
You are gonna tell us, right?
Well, we've
been assuming
that Ferraro wants
to kill Porter,
but my analysis indicates
that he actually wants
to keep him alive.
Yeah, he's trying
to capture him.
I I can't tell you why,
but I can tell you where.
Substituting a capture
scenario for a kill scenario,
my analysis generated ??
where our two players
will likely meet up.
LAPD got the call.
Eyewitness saw
three guys
unload a duffel bag
from the back of a van,
toss it in a Dumpster.
The van matched the description
of the one at the Porter house
the night of the home invasion.
MEGAN:
I've got something here.
I commend you
on your police work,
though it's not like three guys
dumping a body
in broad daylight isn't going
to draw some attention.
I want to make sure
this makes the news.
Maybe this will help.
Please, they're gonna kill me.
The victim is identified
as Clay Porter, 53.
Abducted with his daughter,
Laurie, in a home invasion
Story's not gonna change
the more times you watch it.
Just keep thinking
I'm gonna find
an answer somewhere
in this stack.
Sure that's all
you're looking for?
You know, what Porter said
about me fighting a good war
there's truth to that.
When I got pulled out
of the field
by military intelligence,
I left a lot of guys behind.
And a lot of them
went to Iraq.
I read the names in the papers;
guys I knew.
Heard about friends
who came home
messed up physically,
messed up in the head.
Where I grew up,
people were messed up
by a lot of things,
a lot of it
out of their control.
Didn't make them any less
culpable for their actions.
It's not our job
to judge why.
We're cops.
Our job is to assess
actions and motives,
use that information
to take bad guys
off the street, that's it.
You really believe that?
Most of the time.
You got something?
Actions and motives.
Jake Renner, the helo pilot,
just made a down payment
on a condo, bought a new car
three weeks ago.
Yeah, we know
he was expecting money
from the brig break, 15 grand.
I think he had to be expecting
more than that.
Renner and Ferraro
served together in Iraq;
his wife said they
were tight.
So you're thinking
if Renner was in
on the brig break,
he was in on whatever score
Ferraro made in Iraq.
COLBY:
I talked to my buddy
at the Pentagon,
asked him
about the investigation
of Ferraro's ***
of the Iraqi detainee.
Turns out this guy
was an insurgent
who hijacked $1.
5 million
of reconstruction cash
and hid most of it
somewhere in his village.
Except for $50,000?
Right-- the money Ferraro
found on him
when he picked him
up in a sweep.
Right, which the wife got.
Now, Ferraro tortured
this guy
for two days straight
trying to figure out
where he hid the
rest of it.
After two days,
he died while under guard,
but the guard was Clay Porter.
Okay, so Ferraro thinks
that maybe the Iraqi
told Porter
where the money was as,
like, a last-ditch effort
to save his freedom?
Yeah, maybe he did,
and Porter's just sitting
on a pile of cash.
Okay, well, then that makes
a lot more sense
why he wants Porter alive.
Right, he needed him
to get the money.
All right, get out of the way,
get out of the way!
Don't
Hold it right there, Porter.
One more step, I'm gonna put
a bullet right through you.
I want to see my father
The man did one dishonest thing
his whole life.
Age 17, he forged
his mother's signature
to join the Marines.
He did a tr in Vietnam.
When I got back from Iraq,
he was the only one
that never asked me
how I was.
Because he knew.
Look, Clay, you're gonna
have to talk to us.
MEGAN:
Why don't you start
with the $1.
5 million?
I didn't know
anything about it
unl Ferraro called me
in Mexico
told me he
had my family,
told me he wanted his money.
MEGAN:
You just played along
to keep your family alive?
After getting my sister back.
You want my confession
on dinging those serial killers,
I'll give it to you
after Laurie is home safe.
All right, well,
no promises, I mean,
you're gonna have to take
whatever they offer you.
All I care about is Laurie.
Clay, whatever happens,
I love you.
I brought you your
dad back in a bag.
She's next.
You've got 24 hours.
This is the last
message they sent.
When we dug out
the background audio,
we found something.
It sounds like a jet.
Yeah, our techs agree.
Now, we found flyovers
on all the recordings,
but that's all we found.
Okay if they're
near a flight path,
we may be able
to identify it
using an integrated
noise model.
Think of it like a geologist
measuring a crater to determine
what kind of object created it.
The geologist analyzes
diameter, depth, contours,
to determine
how large an object,
at what speed,
made that impact.
In the same way,
we can analyze a sonic crater
created by a plane
to determine its size,
its speed, and its distance
from an observer's
location.
AMITA:
If we can match
the flyover
patterns with the available FAA
data, we can find your house.
That sounds great.
I'll leave you guys to it.
Thanks, Charlie.
Sonic craters--
interesting choice.
A crater
tells a creation story--
its own big ***.
And to discover
why we're here,
to discover the
key that unlocks
the mystery of the universe--
well, the end is really
just the beginning.
Sounds like you're ready
to get back
in the Higgs boson saddle.
A less appealing analogy,
but it's accurate nonetheless.
Okay I'm the one
who let Porter go.
Two lives were at stake,
and I rolled the dice.
And the law be damned.
I've always said
the law's overrated.
I'm glad you see it that way,
'cause I need something.
Let me guess.
Porter's asking for a plea deal
in exchange for cooperation.
No.
I'm asking.
For a law and order guy,
you've got a bleeding heart.
Don't worry about it.
It's just one time.
Double homicide,
signed confession.
It's not gonna be easy,
but the evidence
is circumstantial.
I could make a case for
coerced confession,
add mitigation for
exemplary military service.
It's worth a shot.
I like it.
Remind me to hire you
if I ever kill anyone.
I'm a prosecutor.
Oh, yeah.
Listen, Don
Wait-- actually,
let me just say,
I mean, in terms of us,
I'm there.
I'm ready to step up.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
So Charlie got us
a location.
It's a house in an area
of condemned properties
in Westchester.
Uh-huh.
SWAT?
Yeah, already
made the call.
I want in, Eppes.
What, are you kidding?
Hey, I'm not looking
at this emotionally.
Okay.
No,I'm looking at this tactically.
You need me.
Now, Ferraro chose
this location
because it's isolated.
He can establish a field of fire
in every direction.
You come up
any of these roads,
and he'll cut you down
within 1,000 yards.
And my sister will die.
So, what would your plan be?
I call him, I
set up a meet.
You let me be the first face
Ferraro sees,
and maybe Laurie
will have a chance.
Just one minute.
That's all I'm asking.
You used me as bait once.
I just want you to do it again.
He's right, Don.
It's the best play.
Tactically.
No gun.
Didn't ask for one.
We got a motorcycle approaching.
He's alone.
Greet him.
He's clean.
(from inside):
Bring him in.
Throw him in the chair.
Handcuff him.
I was starting to wonder
if you were gonna show.
I'm here.
That's what you wanted.
I want my money.
Let Laurie go,
and I'll take you to it.
At first, I didn't get
why you ratted me out.
Then it all came clear.
That dirt bag
I beat the crap out of--
he gave it up to you.
You should have
brought the money, Clay.
Let's go! Let's roll!
Let's go!
As soon as my sister walks,
we'll get down to business.
You're not in a position
to bargain.
Your dad made that mistake.
We got incoming.
Cops.
Let's go! Let's go!
Liz-- might be in the back.
LIZ:
Copy that.
Dumb move, Clay.
(gun ***)
You just got you and
your sister killed.
FBI!
FBI! FBI!
Drop it!
I don't think so, man.
Drop the gun! Put it down!
We were just about
to take a walk.
You're not going anywhere.
Busted out of a Marine brig.
I'll find a way out.
You're not walking out of here
with a hostage-- you hear me?
Take the shot, Eppes.
Nice try, Clay.
Clay, put the gun down.
Clay! Clay! Put it down!
The man killed my father.
Put it down! Put it down!
I'm going to
prison anyway.
Your only chance of walking out
of here is to drop it.
COLBY:
Don't do it, man.
This guy's not worth it.
I'll see you in Leavenworth.
That's so I can hear you coming.
He stopped running.
Yeah.
We all have to sometime.
Oh, uh, I guess I should have
bought another steak.
I'm just here
for another consult.
We've been looking at the furnace conversion, Dad,
and, uh, we think
we have another idea.
WALDIE:
A cleaner burning idea.
Using second
generation biofuels
made from
genetically modified algae.
You want me to put a log
of pond *** on the fire?
Well, it's better
for the planet, Alan.
I see.
Uh, guess
we don't need a silo, then, huh?
No.
Instead, we're gonna
build one of these.
A windmill.
Wind turbine
is the precise term.
You're gonna build a windmill--
wind turbine-- in our backyard?
WALDIE:
Generates 1,000 watts
in an 11 meter-per-second wind.
That's, uh,
five kilowatt hours a day, easy.
Good-bye, grid.
A bit of an eyesore,
though, isn't it?
For you, maybe.
My recent calculations,
based on prevailing winds,
put the blades right outside
of your bedroom window.
Um, anyone heard from Larry?
Apparently,
he's off probation.
So he's back at the monastery?
But tonight, he'll be
staying at his office.
He mentioned something about
a "ritual restoration
of peace and harmony.
"
