to the rest of these terrorists.
Charlie,
I know that.
David, you got him?
I just picked him up.
He's at the north end,
headed toward the coldra
Hell taWatch where I'm going? you're go
You walked right into me!
What are you, an idiot?
I'm pushing a truckload
of vegetables.
How hard is it
to see me coming?
Don, we might have a problem.
This is getting out of hand.
Hold your position.
Just hold your position.
Freeze!
Drop that crowbar.
Put it down.
Put it down!
This is a lot of cash, huh?
Where were you going
with all this?
Look, we know it
was gonna be used
to pay for a terrorist attack
here in L.
A.
COLBY:
We know where the money
came from; we know
you're a part of a terrorist
cell that was operating locally.
You keep using that
word, "terrorist.
"
I'm a soldier,
fighting a war
America initiated.
Your war against Islam.
COLBY:
Come on, man.
You're from Fullerton--
your name is Timothy.
Kaleed Asan is my name now.
I want to know
about that attack.
What are you gonna tell me
about that attack?
Only that it's God's will
and you can't stop it.
We get anything out of him?
Don, I had no choice.
I had to take him.
Yeah, I told you to hold.
He was gonna kill that guy.
Right, David,
the question is,
how many thousands of lives
did we trade for that one.
So you think the
attack is real?
Oh, yeah.
Let me talk to him.
I doubt
you're gonna learn anything
from him.
I don't know
about that, Charlie--
I'm feeling
pretty persuasive
right now, okay?
No.
He doesn't even know enough
to help us.
The structure
of a terror cell
is what we call a "distributed
autonomous network.
"
It's made up of a number
of independent parts
working collectively,
but there's no
lateral communication.
Think of those
huge signs
at a baseball game,
where everyone
in a particular section is asked
to raise a card
above their head.
Now, the designer of the sign
uses a blueprint to place
the cards
under the individual seats.
The fans don't need to know
what the message is.
They just need to know
what their particular job is;
in this case, raising the card.
So once the message is formed,
the mission is complete.
And it's the same thing with
the structure of a terror cell.
Individual players only
need to know their parts,
nothing else.
All right, Charlie,
what about
using more math--
you know, filling in
more of the network diagram?
You know what?
Frankly, I don't even know
if this much is correct anymore.
A terror cell structure
is dynamic,
and now that they know
that we're on to them,
the structure
of their entire organization
is likely to change.
That's great.
Okay, Listen up.
We're racing the clock here.
For those of you from visiting
agencies,
I'm Assistant Director Wright.
Agent Eppes has been handling
this since it broke,
so I'm just gonna hand off
directly to him.
Agent.
Ten days ago,
CIA operatives in Yemen found
a laptop.
It had information
about the funding
of a terrorist attack here,
in L.
A.
Now, Charlie,
Professor Charles Eppes,
came up with an algorithm
that identified
this man as the guy who's
going to get that funding.
Now, he also identified two
other possible conspirators.
Now, we think they're low-level,
part of a homegrown cell
operating here in L.
A.
American-born, but
definitely did time
in those Afghani
training camps.
Hopefully, Charlie will keep
making progress on his angle
and we just got to get going
on ours.
Okay, the threat
is real.
The NSA is reporting an increase
in terrorist chatter.
We've intercepted funding
and apprehended an active
participant in the plot,
so we need to do anything
and everything within our power
to figure out
what we're up against
and stop it.
Captain Adams, Army CID.
How you doing?
Do you know Charlie?
I may have some information
about your suspect.
What-- Asan?
Yeah.
You're aware of his time spent
in the Army?
Yeah, that's where he converted
to Islam, right?
There was another soldier there:
Michael Rains.
He's since taken the
name Ali al Dossari.
Uh, that's not a
name I came across.
Well, they were
in the same unit.
In fact, it was al Dossari
who convinced Asan
to convert.
They were given general
discharges around the same time.
Wow.
This guy may be the
level two connection
I'm looking for.
You get an address?
o, my information ends
at the time he was discharged.
Okay, but, Captain, any
background you may have
will help you with
my work, so
I've got a duplicate file.
That's terrific,
thank you.
y the way, Professor,
novel approach--
you trying to map out
the group's structure
mathematically.
I wouldn't call it novel.
istributed Autonomous
Networks
re a well-accepted
field of study.
If you say so.
I've been in antiterrorism
for ten years.
I haven't found
a substitute
for basic information
gathering.
Well, information's
only as good
as what you can
do with it.
Okay, got an address
on al Dossari.
Any reason we shouldn't
go right at this guy?
Cell structure's
already disrupted.
They know we're
on to them.
DON:
All right-- hey, guys!
We're gonna bring
this guy in.
You want to fill them in
on the way?
Absolutly.
(knocking)
DAVID:
Ali al Dossari.
FBI.
It looks clear.
Yeah, he's not here.
Take a look at this.
He was forging Marine I.
D.
's.
Maybe they're going to try
to sneak on to a military base.
Could be
the next target.
Yeah, or maybe he was
after munitions.
Tons of explosives
available on a base
if you can
get to it.
Sergeant Surplus--
a military surplus store.
I'll alert the local bases,
have them double up
on security.
If we're not already too late.
These guys are way ahead of us.
Oh, there you are,
Charlie.
What's all
this now?
I'm, uh, using connections
between weighted vertices
to, uh
to find a way to
link this man
to the times, dates,
places and people
that we've already associated
with the terror cell.
I see.
Having any luck?
I am, actually.
If I'm correct
he belongs
right here.
Is that sort of
a breakthrough?
Yeah, the only dnside is
I didn't find him on my own.
Since when has sharing credit
been a problem for you.
Since I'm sharing it
with an army captain
that was more than a little
patronizing about my work.
Pretty scary, isn't it?
I mean the fact
that there might be a terrorist
attack in Los Angeles.
Well, a terrorist attack
just about anywhere is scary.
No, you know
what I mean.
I mean the city is so enormous.
A lot of, uh
vulnerable targets.
Hey, I was just
about to call you.
DON:
Dossari is definitely connected
to this.
Yeah, that's
what I was gonna tell you.
Adams beat you to it.
I mean they found evidence
in Dossari's apartment
linking him to Asan.
So, I just wanted
to let you know, okay.
I'll check in with you later.
Hey.
So, the clerk at
the surplus store
I.
D.
'd al Dossari's
picture.
Said he came in and bought
two sets of Marine fatigues.
Full deal, boots to caps.
Fake I.
D.
's,
uniforms-- what, these guys
can basically
walk onto any base.
Just got a report
from LAPD.
There was a theft last night;
chemical supply company
out in Alhambra.
Security guard was killed
in the process.
Place called RNE
Chemical Supply.
COLBY:
Is it relevant?
It sounds like a civilian
facility.
Yeah, it is.
But the two guys
who hit the place--
dressed as Marines.
DAVID:
The owner says the company
does a lot of business
with local military bases,
mostly supply
and cleaning chemicals
and a few medical supplies.
As a result, a lot of soldiers
do pickups.
Gate guard saw
the uniforms, the badge,
he opened the gate.
We get anything on this truck?
DAVID:
Vehicle was stolen
from a company
that provides vehicles
to movie studios.
It was a prop.
Yeah.
They don't have
video cameras in
the chemical storage area
these guys got into,
but you can see
them coming out
right about here.
Guard started to question
their paperwork
or, um
they didn't have any.
Whole thing took less
than six minutes.
They knew exactly
what they were after.
Chemical called MPDC.
It stands for
methylphosphonyl dichloride.
Is that an explosive?
It's a lot
worse than that.
It's the major component
in the deadly poison
Sarin.
But it's only a component.
Yeah, it has to be mixed with
several other chemicals,
most of them common,
but, um, it's one
that's kind of hard to get
your hands on--
trimethyl
phosphor-something
Will you run a check on that?
I did-- turns out
three weeks ago,
went missing
from a train yard
in Colton.
Oh, my God.
They got everything they need
to make sarin.
??
WOMAN:
Sarin-- you picked
one of my favorites.
LIZ:
I'm sorry-- your favorites?
CHARLIE:
Professor Osaki's
an organic chemist
with a different appreciation
than you or me.
Admittedly.
You see, sarin
is an efficient,
elegantly-structured molecule
that does precisely
what it was designed to do.
Yeah, what's that?
Kill.
It's a nerve agent,
an extremely volatile one,
to boot.
It evaporates quickly.
It becomes a vapor.
So people breathe it,
they're affected.
If they breathe it or ingest it,
or if comes into contact with
their skin or eyes
So what do we look for?
What are the warning signs?
Wouldn't be
as effective
if there were warning signs.
There's no odor, taste or color.
For the most part,
the sudden symptoms are
the only indication of exposure.
All right, so let me ask you
this: if you had the components,
how difficult is it
to manufacture?
It definitely
requires some skill,
but most of the grad students
here could do it.
And an important
aspect of that--
Sarin has a short shelf life--
a few days--
so it's usually kept in
its binary components.
Meaning, once it's mixed
Once it's mixed,
it's time to use it.
CHARLIE:
Hey, Dad, the population
density studies,
the maps, the stuff
from when you were
a city planner,
all the traffic flow diagrams,
where is all that stuff?
I left it in
the garage
Oh, I keep it, uh, handy.
You took it?
Yeah, it's right here.
Oh, okay.
Ever since you've been working
with your brother,
this stuff has had
almost as much use
as when I was working.
Thank you.
So what's happened?
You come up with some
other breakthrough?
Yeah, the attack we're
worried about,
it could be sarin.
Sarin? Wow.
Yeah, the FBI's
putting together
a list of potential targets.
I'm going to use
a threat analysis to see
if I can determine
which is the most likely target.
Well, if it's a gas attack,
they'd have to through some
enclosed venue, wouldn't they?
I mean, like the subway
or, um, shopping malls.
Yeah, maybe.
The thing is, these guys
potentially have a lot of sarin,
they don't have
a lot of operatives.
So the question is,
how can a couple of guys
distribute a lot of sarin?
Exactly.
So, assuming they want
a high casualty count
with a more pinpointed
application of sarin
Maybe I can mark off some
possible targets on this map.
Maybe I could come up
with something.
DAVID:
County Health sent
an alert to area
hospitals advising
to stock up on sarin
antidote, right?
Yeah, let's hope they
don't need to use it.
That's just it,
they already have.
The emergency room at
Good Samaritan admitted
two patients about
an hour ago--
both confirmed cases
of sarin poisoning.
All right,
but there's only two?
What, two's not enough
for you?
Think about it:
it'd probably be more
than two victims, right?
It means these two
probably aren't victims,
they're either mixing
the chemicals or
transporting them.
They're part of the plan.
??
?
You guys awake?
Can you hear me?
These guys are too far gone.
I'll find someone.
WOMAN:
What's going on in here?
You stay away from him.
We're federal agents.
We're conducting a terrorism
investigation, ma'am.
You think my husband
and son are terrorists?
They were poisoned.
Someone did this to them.
How? I mean, where do you think
they might've come
into contact with sarin?
I don't know.
They haven't been
out of my sight.
We were moving
into our first house.
Our very own.
You were moving?
We were packing.
My husband and son
were carrying boxes,
loading them into the truck.
I went outside
to help them
and I found
my husband collapsed.
I thought it was a heart attack.
And then I saw my son, too.
Whose truck were
they loading, ma'am?
I don't know.
I mean, it's a rental.
My husband got it
last night.
David, man, what do
you think of Warner?
What do you mean,
what do I think?
You know, we've been
teamed up a couple of times.
Seems like we have a pretty
good vibe going, you know?
Granger, don't--
seriously.
Why not, man?
Warner and Don,
that's why not.
There is something
definitely going on there.
Really?
Don?
What?
What's going on?
Nothing.
The Hazmat guys
are ready to go.
It's hot.
That's a positive
hit on sarin.
DAVID:
It's safe.
Spill was localized to a small
spot in the cargo area.
It's been neutralized.
Do we know who rented it?
The guy used a fake name
and a fake I.
D.
We have a composite artist
working on a photo.
Meantime, we're pulling
prints off the truck.
Pulled almost a
hundred so far.
CHARLIE:
Hey, Don.
What's going on?
What are you guys doing here?
We finished modeling the
different attack scenarios.
I think we got their
target nailed down;
it's very ingenious.
Take a look.
What are you
talking about "we"?
It's the water supply.
Probability of an attack there
is four times greater
than at any other target.
Water supply?
Sarin is a gas, right?
It can be, but it
starts off as a liquid
that completely
dissolves in water.
That's why using the water
system makes perfect sense.
They don't have to spread
the poison themselves.
They can let
the city distribution
do the work for them.
Let me talk to you a second.
Yeah.
What's up?
What's going on?
What's he doing here?
Who, Dad?
Yeah.
He's helping me.
He's been invaluable, actually.
No, no, no, Charlie, you can't
do this.
I can't?
Why not?
Because, A: it's dangerous,
B: people have been poisoned.
I mean, what are you
talking about "why not?"
You don't seem too worried
that I'm involved.
Of course I'm worried
you're involved.
Agent Eppes,
I think we got it!
Print from the glove box matches
a print on file with Customs.
Josef Haliz,
Algerian National.
Homeland's already got
a whole file on him.
Hold your fire!
Hold your fire!
I want these guys alive.
Let's go, back up.
Back up.
Need eyes and ears here.
Somebody's got to get me
eyes and ears in there.
I hear talking; it's
more than one person.
What are they saying?
It's in Arabic.
Agent Eppes,
we got video.
It's a lab.
They're set up
for mixing sarin.
DAVID:
They're still talking,
I can't make it out, Don.
Oh, they're praying.
Colby, get out of there.
Let's go, everybody, move in.
Move, move, move, move!
FBI!
Freeze!
Damn it, we better
lock this place down.
Get out of here!
We've got to evacuate!
Let's go! Back down!
?
It's done-- the chemicals
are gone, all of them.
At the very least,
they've been making
sample batches.
Worst case, the sarin's
been fully weaponized.
Sarin degrades quickly,
so once it's been mixed,
they'd only have a few days
to use it.
Clock just started
ticking faster.
Yeah, you know what?
We better get going
on securing that
water supply.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
How do we know
the water's their target?
Because my math says so.
Is it really smart
to put all our eggs
in one basket based on math?
Yeah, if he says so, it is.
House is clear,
but we found these.
Charlie,
check it out.
Dilution tables--
they were
calculating how much sarin
they'd need to toxify
a large body of water.
We got to tell people
not to drink the water.
It's not just
drinking the water.
It's any contact
with it, okay?
It's a bath, it's a shower.
Even mist blowing off
a sprinkler
could be deadly.
Then we got to
find the sarin now.
Yeah.
These guys certainly aren't
going to be telling us
where it is now.
Well, they
didn't know.
Compartmentalized cells,
remember?
Right, right, okay, okay.
Their job was to mix
the sarin and deliver it.
It's someone else's job
to use it.
Right.
I know.
We keep going after
these low-level guys.
We got to find out
who's running the show, right?
We got two players.
We got two pieces of the puzzle.
Get me information on them,
we'll be closer
to figuring out who
the mastermind is.
Ah! There you
are, Charlie.
I didn't know
you were out here.
So, uh, where are we?
Oh, I see.
We've I.
D.
'd two more
terrorists, huh?
How do they, uh, fit in?
I don't know yet.
All the same,
I've been, uh,
putting more thought
into the actual poisoning,
you know?
I mean, to exactly
how they would, uh,
be able to introduce the
sarin into the water supply,
and the problem is, Charlie,
the targets, like the reservoirs
and the aqueducts--
they're just too big.
I mean, I'd have to
think that a poison,
even as potent
as sarin
would just too diluted
to do any damage.
Wouldn't it?
Charlie, am I
boring you?
Don doesn't want you helping me
out anymore, Dad.
What are you talking about?
Doesn't want
you involved.
He feels like this whole thing
could get really dangerous.
Oh, come on,
that's ridiculous.
How could it be
any more dangerous for me
than it is for you?
Just telling you
what he told me.
The, uh, mayor's office
just received a list
of demands from
the terrorists.
hey think
it's authentic?
Yeah, afraid so.
he demands are
mostly political.
They want the release of eight
suspected terrorists being held
at Gitmo, removal
of American troops
from all Muslim nations,
as well as millions
of dollars in reparations.
These guys have to know we don't
negotiate with terrorists.
Which means they're
still going to do it.
hey'll still strike.
Hey hey, I
think I got it.
You got what?
I cracked the cell structure.
the dead chemists,
the addition of
al Dossari,
the Algerian--
those were actually
all the pieces I needed.
Charlie, you able
to fill it all in?
Not all of it,
but I know who's on top.
Sharif al Maliki,
who's a known terrorist.
You guys should have
him in your files.
Now, wait now Are you
Are you sure
you got the right guy?
He's at the nexus of too many
lines of connection, okay?
He's got to be the guy
who's behind this.
COLBY:
I spoke to the CIA,
Homeland, Customs.
The more that comes in,
the more it looks
like Charlie was right.
Same here.
You don't have
to sound so surprised.
The list of demands
names eight Gitmo detainees
they want released.
All eight tie directly
to Sharif al Maliki.
And guess
who ran the terror camp
all three
of these guys attended.
COLBY:
Sharif al Maliki?
Yeah, he's the sole
point of connection
for at least five
of these players.
Yeah, it's not him.
What?
He's dead.
He was taken out very
quietly by a covert ops team
??
W-Wait a second, wait a second.
How do you know?
Because I spoke to the NSA.
No.
No.
His
His name was the one name
that kept coming up.
It's-It's his cell.
It's his operation.
All right,
so where does that leave us?
Hijacking.
No, Charlie, that notice--
it's been up there
for about six months.
Remember, I told you
the individual players
are isolated.
How they know nothing beyond
their individual assignments.
Right.
So?
Well, that's the strength
of a terror cell.
But it also presents
a huge vulnerability.
Remember the example I
gave the other night--
the baseball fans
holding up cards
to make a giant sign.
What if someone got hold
of the designer's blueprints
and made some changes?
Remember, the fans don't know
what the big picture is.
They only know
what their individual jobs are.
Someone could take over,
change the objective
of the entire mission,
and no one would know.
So, if Sharif had a blueprint,
an actual list of names
and numbers
Anyone with access could
conceivably take control.
That's it.
That's exactly it.
Al Maliki's plan, the
whole terrorist cell
???
Agent Eppes, a
decision's been made.
The government's going
to make a payment
to the terrorists
in exchange for the sarin.
They'll wire four million
to a foreign account now,
and another four million
when the sarin's returned.
I thought
we don't deal with these kind of people.
Well, none of their political
demands are being met.
No prisoner releases,
no change in U.
S.
policy.
It's called an Iraqi Ransom.
Happens all the time
with abducted soldiers
or journalists
in the Middle East.
A middleman surfaces,
says, for a fee, he can
get the hostages back.
Yeah, a middleman?
Everyone knows
he's one of the kidnappers,
but a payment gets made,
the hostage is released.
And the U.
S.
can maintain
its claim
of not negotiating
with terrorists.
I guess.
I've seen it over 100 times
while I was working covert ops
in Northern Pakistan.
Hey, Dad,
where's Charlie?
He ran out to the garage
to get a couple of files.
But hold on,
I want to talk to you.
No, I'm in a rush.
Now, now,
Charlie will be back.
Now, look, you're the son,
I'm the father.
Now, that's not going to change.
So, until the inevitable,
I'll be the one
to decide what is
or isn't too dangerous for me
to be involved in, all right?
It's more than just
a little condescending
for you to tell Charlie
to exclude me.
You're going to need
what I know.
All right.
A lot of
that current
water system was built
under my watch.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean
to be condescending.
That's just
CHARLIE:
Hey, guys.
Charlie, you get
anywhere with who
hijacked the cell?
Anyone who had access
to the blueprints for the plan.
I'm thinking, like,
one of Maliki's lieutenants.
Well, actually, no, no.
See, by the very nature
of the way
a terrorist cell is structured,
everyone involved
is intentionally
given a limited
perspective.
You know, if a bunch of kids
are swimming in a swimming pool,
and there's an adult
in the swimming pool with them,
even though he's closer
to the kids,
technically becoming part
of their network,
he can't really see
everything that's going on,
so the most
advantageous position
for a lifeguard
is outside the pool.
That way, he can see everything
that's happening.
So, it seems to me
that whoever hijacked this plan
had to have had
the wider perspective.
Right, someone outside the cell.
ALAN:
From whatever
I've read
about terrorist groups,
the, uh, the leaders--
they insulate themselves.
So, who?
Who from the
outside world
had contact
with Sharif al Maliki?
I got it.
I got to go
So, you were on the squad
that did Maliki?
What was that?
Your team took him out?
Yeah.
So?
Yeah, so you knew he was dead,
but you just, what?
You let us waste our time.
Eppes, covert ops
wouldn't be covert
if we talked about them,
now would it?
I know all about you
covert op guys
with your accounts
all over the world,
and I also know
yours happened to have
just gotten $4 million richer.
Should we go have
a little talk?
Fine.
DON:
So, you found Maliki's
blueprints after
you took him out, right?
Nice little chance to get rich.
I busted my ***
helping you on this case.
If I'm behind it,
why would I do that?
DAVID:
So we'd know
the threat was real.
That's the only way
to insure there'd be a payment.
Either one of you have any idea
the sacrifices I've made
to help protect the people
of this country?
I know how you're selling them
down the river
for four million bucks,
that's what I know.
I'm not making any admissions
here-- none.
But if I had done something
like this, you can bet
I'd be smart enough to make sure
the sarin never had a real
chance of reaching the public.
DAVID:
And how would you do that, Captain?
Kill off the cell responsible
for putting the sarin
into the water supply.
The sarin gets mixed,
delivered, but
the plan never comes
to fruition.
No one gets hurt.
Why don't you just
relax, Eppes?
Uncle Sam paid the money.
Hey, Don, let me talk
to you for a minute.
DON:
What's up?
The sarin is gone.
What?!
Hazmat went to the warehouse--
the address we got in exchange
for the ransom-- empty.
Nothing there.
All right.
So the sarin's not there!
You're lying.
It has to be.
You tell me how
no one's gonna get hurt.
Go ahead, tell me!
I'm not saying another word.
How can this be?
I've been
saying for days
that the terror cell
is an adaptive system.
It's dynamic, the
structure changes.
So somewhere along the
line, a cell mutated.
We got new information
on the house
where the chemists
mixed the sarin.
Evidently, they weren't
the only ones living there.
How many more?
The neighbors said they saw
four men there yesterday.
That's the mutation,
that's the change.
So it doesn't matter
if the captain
killed off
the sarin delivery cell,
because now another one
has grown to replace it.
So someone else is going to put
the sarin
into the water.
Oh, yeah.
??
Hey, guys, come check this out.
that the city's tap water
may be contaminated.
City officials have offered
no details as to the source
or cause of
the possible contamination,
saying only that they suspect
a ruptured sewer line
may be to blame.
Now, in the meantime,
they warn to avoid
any and all contact
with tap water
So they're blaming
the sewer line.
Half of L.
A.
's
already gone to sleep.
They're gonna wake up
in the morning,
start brushing their teeth,
taking showers.
Adams knows we got nothing
on him but the money.
Yeah, foreign bank,
no records.
I mean, if he stays quiet,
he's actually got
a shot at walking.
Hey, Donny.
Guys, what is going on?
Charlie told me to come.
I did.
And this is
Professor Osaki.
e's an
organic chemist.
And a bit of
a sarin aficionado,I have to admit.
Nothing personal, but, Charlie,
we got plenty of experts here.
Donny, this is not a time to turn down help.
Fine.
What do you got?
All right, look.
Based on the sheer
quantity of water
and distribution,
we think they will hit,
but not until after the water
has left a treatment plant--
tap into one of
the main lines somewhere else.
If they narrow it
down to a single main,
wouldn't that reduce the amount
of potential victims?
As potent as it is,
even sarin can be diluted
beyond effectiveness.
By using a single water line,
they can maintain toxic levels
to 15 or 20,000 homes.
CHARLIE:
That's over 2,500
miles of pipe.
I'm sorry, but
I can't even
begin to tell you
what mile they'll hit.
All right.
Look, we need
those blueprints.
I mean, we got to know where
this attack is gonna take place.
You know what you're
asking me to do?
Yeah, I do.
You want me
to incriminate myself,
and I'm not so sure
I can do that.
Listen to me-- tomorrow morning,
thousands of people
are gonna turn
on their water.
That's mothers and fathers
and kids and grandparents.
I mean, come on.
Captain, you've had
a long, decorated career.
I mean, do you really
want to go out like this?
Is this really the mark
you want to leave on the world?
Okay.
Okay.
Got it! I got it!
They're gonna tap into the main
line in Hollywood near Vine!
Charlie, push in on Hollywood.
All right,
the Hollywood main runs
right under Argyle.
CHARLIE:
Wow.
The water pressure
in those lines
has to be enormous.
OSAKI:
They'd need a pretty
substantial pump if they wanted
to inject into it.
So they'll probably
need a truck,
which means they'll be
easy to detect.
Not if they use the tunnels.
What do you mean?
What tunnels?
Well, they're old--
at least, left over
from the Red Car railway
that used to run
all over the city.
So it's near the water main?
Well, they'd
have access.
I was down there once.
I saw a bunch of relief valves.
Charlie, would you
punch in closer?
Okay, now, the entrance would be about there.
All right, let's roll.
You get SWAT.
Let's go.
Good work, Dad.
This thing
starts beeping,
you get your mask on, all right?
Don't have to
tell me twice.
All right, so the air
is clean in there.
We found a fresh set
of tire tracks though
leading back in.
Has to be their pump truck.
Means they're already inside.
All right, let'*** it.
DON:
Hey, guys on the left,
keep going.
We're gonna go up here.
Just keep going down.
Hey, Don.
There are tracks in both
directions right here.
Couldn't make out
enough detail, though,
to tell which ones are theirs.
Yeah.
We got to split up.
SWAT, go left,
we'll go to the right.
Let's go.
FBI! Don't move!
Don't hit the truck!
Don't hit the truck!
The hose is leaking!
No, no, it's just back pressure
from the water main.
He's making a move
for the pump!
All right, we got to get someone
who can cover that pump.
Make a move?
Uh-huh.
I got the pump!
I got it!
Get the door.
You guys, all right?!
Anyone hit?!
We're okay!
You stopped them.
If you only knew
how close it came.
It wasn't just about the money.
I hope you know that.
There's a greater good here.
Oh, yeah? How you figure that?
I exposed a terror cell
hiding in Los Angeles
highlighted the vulnerability
of this city's infrastructure,
made people see
the kind of danger
we're really facing.
Oh, I see.
So, what, was this,
like, some kind of drill?
End of today, we're better off
than we were yesterday, right?
It's a net gain,
no way to argue that.
Yeah.
Okay, get him
out of here.
He handed over the blueprints
to the entire cell.
We're already rounding up
the rest of them.
Good.
You put in a good
couple of days.
Night.
Good night.
All right, boys, good job.
Night.
Night.
LIZ:
Night.
GUYS
Hey, what's up?
I was thinking
about you in there.
Yeah, it was pretty scary.
That's not
what I mean.
I mean I couldn't deal
if something happened to you.
You got my back, right?
Yeah, for sure.
Okay.
I got yours.
Coming over?
Yeah, just want to check in
with Charlie and my dad.
Ah
Well, I'll be there later.
All right.
All right.
See you later.
DON:
Ah, you guys are
still up-- great.
ALAN:
Well, what'd
you expect?
So listen
Hey, we were
watching the news,
and they said that Emergency
Services canceled the alert
because the
water's safe now.
Isn't it amazing--
they managed
toever even mention
sarin or terrorism.
Huh?
(chuckles)
I guess we're supposed
to feel lucky
that it ended the way it did.
Yes.
And that's why I came,
actually, to thank you.
Thank you.
Muchas gracias.
Is that your way of admitting
that you were wrong?
No, Dad, I wasn't wrong.
I mean, look, you guys
definitely helped.
I mean, and to that,
we're grateful.
All right?
I mean, I'm grateful.
Grateful?
Yeah.
Grateful's good enough, then.
I can sleep on grateful.
What?
When did
this happen?
This whole new attitude.
New attitude is gratitude.
Nice.
