t? okay. his manifesto, his ideas, though extreme, are not irrational. you know, he never advocates violence. well, so what? the guy's a genius. doesn't mean he's not a murderer. you're missing the point. what's the point? that you want to stand up for one of your own here? what are you talking about? you know, you're one to talk. colby lied to you, almost blew an entire investigation... hey, hey, easy. ...and you covered his ass. easy, pal. you're here to help, right? you're not here to create problems. you know what? fine. but if glaser's lawyer calls me to the stand, i'm not gonna lie. i'm not going to cover your ass. come on, come on. basketball announcer: five seconds. come on! this could be it. damn it. hendricks at the three-point line, he puts up a shot. oh... (whimpers) what's going on? it's a piece of crap. i don't even know why i bothered taking it out of the garage. what's wrong with the flatscreen? broke. bought it a year ago, didn't make it to the playoffs. oh, right, what's this? this millie's bet charlie told me about? what? you can't buy another one? yeah, ridiculous. i should have kept my mouth shut. so, uh, i thought you were working

around the clock on that bomber case. nah, we got the guy. oh, really? so why is your brother out in the garage still working on it? well, that guy, man. i guess he hates to be wrong, you know? i mean, even when he's right. he's just letting his emotions get in the way. yeah, something you'd never do. the guy wrote a manifesto, you know, like the unabomber. he, he wants to end biotech research. so... you know, strong opinions do not necessarily a killer make. in my day, people had... they had opinions about a lot of stuff. oh, come on. what, are you gonna give me the first amendment lecture again? till you listen, yes. dad, you're as bad as charlie. well, maybe, but have you ever known your brother to let his emotions trump his math? hey, charlie. hey, yeah, no, i know, i... (stammers) i get caught up sometimes, you know, in the math. all right, i understand. listen. listen, i'm here, okay?

l-let me hear what you got. thanks. here's the thing. look, tracing these bomber's movements gave us these 12 data points. right? right, the search area. right, and all of them fit so perfectly into my equation. there's no strays, no outliers. well, good evidence is good evidence. not when it's too good. y-you see what i'm... (sighs) imagine, um... here we go. imagine we wanted to create a square. okay? okay. you need four points, right? mm-hmm. four. you don't need four more points, right? that's exactly what i have, though. that's more data than i need here and it all fits together so perfectly. right, but, i mean, that doesn't mean it's impossible. yeah, but given glaser's grasp of these concepts, don't you see how he would be a fool to behave in this way? see what i'm saying? all right. you going to stick around for dinner? no, you know, i'm gonna go back to work, right?

we're going back through the evidence, including the files in the original dna bomber investigation. i think we might have caught a break. oh, yeah? yeah, jason aronow was trying to dump a flash drive down the john in his cell. techs checked it out, said it's an encryption device. david's got them going back through all his online activity. sounds good. what the hell's going on, eppes? charlie raised some questions. yeah, so i hear. some crackpot theory that glaser's being framed? back off. it was your idea to bring him in in the first place, right? aronow's encryption device was used to chat on a cooking web site. cooking? conversations about ingredients and baking times were really about bomb-making. he spent most of his time chatting with the username "burnrate20." they also mentioned the rf59 signature. it's glaser. no, i doubt it; aronow trashed glaser for "disavowing violence in the name of ideas." this guy, this burnrate20 offered him a chance to get even. right, to frame glaser. can you trace burnrate20? guy knew how to cover his tracks. well, we know where aronow is, right?

(wry chuckle) they're bringing him in from work detail now. the kid got out early. perfect timing. aronow hasn't enjoyed this much attention since he first got here and the reporters were buzzing around. yeah, glad we can brighten his day. what did our boy do to get off work? he got sick. prison doc thinks he inhaled something. like what? glue. he was doing some rebinding in the library. wait, i thought you guys were supposed to keep him away from the chemicals. yeah, you getting the same bad feeling i'm getting? yeah. call the bomb squad. now! open up! (alarm buzzing) you okay? yeah, i'm okay. you all right? yeah. (clamoring in distance)

hey, jessica, jerry neumann with a policy question. jerry, how are you doing? fine, i just got a little fender bender. oh, jerry, i'm so sorry. i would love to help but remember, you dropped us last month. yeah, you know it's funny. it only took 15 minutes to sign up for that new auto insurance company but it's taken a lot longer to hear back. is your car up a pole again? [ crying ] i miss you, jessica! jerry, are you crying? no, i just, i bit my tongue.

[ male announcer ] well done mom! less drama, more fun! totino's pizza rolls. malloy: aronow joins our list of victims even if it was by suicide bomb. looks like he got ahold of the right chemicals this time. yeah, but i can't figure why now? maybe our bomber had a hand in it. glaser was in lockup, so it wasn't him. i was wrong about aronow, too. i guess he was the one behind the bombings three years ago. well, whoever's doing it now went to a lot of trouble to pin it on glaser. maybe he has some theories. it's not like he's going to talk to us. maybe he'll talk to someone else.

dr. glaser? professor eppes. is this the fbi's idea of catch and release? stick another hook in the fish, watch it struggle? they just wanted me to talk to you. shouldn't you be applying your talents to higher pursuits than gumshoeing for a pack of thugs? go home, professor. i really respect your ideas, you know? except for one. i believe that humanism should be about humanity. finally, some candor. i totally get what you're saying. the dangers of genetic engineering, taking humanity apart... and reordering it with no regard for long-term consequences. yeah, i'm aware of the risk-reward analyses, but... ...but my mother... she died of a disease that this technology could cure, so... isn't saving lives a humanist ideal?

we need your help. (clears throat) whoever's bombing these people has targeted you, as well. we think you might have an idea who it could be. i suggest you look for the answer by looking at the victims. a paradigm shift. i'm not... i don't know what you mean. you're the genius, professor. figure it out. (door closes) david: your hunch was right. jason aronow's suicide bomb didn't match anything on the prison's inventory list. well, our guy got to him somehow, right? why don't you just check the visitors' logs? colby's already on it. all right, good. don. hey. what? you got something on glaser? you know, it took a while to understand glaser's allusion to a paradigm shift. we've all been looking at the victims in this case as glaser's enemies, when in fact, they were his allies. allies? yeah, i-i've taken a fresh look at this case in legal terms. victim number one, uh, uh, john walton,

was the first reporter to out glaser as a suspect by name. all right. so? so, that information was leaked to walton by someone on the case, which caused evidence to be thrown out. what about the second victim, tobin? tobin. well, after he pointed his finger at glaser, news surfaced that he'd made a book deal, and the judge threw out his testimony. don: yeah, yeah, yeah. and the bomb was sent to that judge, too. okay, so, so the bomber's killing people that he holds responsible for glaser escaping justice. don: so a survivor of one of the victims, right? family, friend... try a member of law enforcement. prison visitors' log shows aronow had one visitor yesterday. who's that? don: i say you led us from the start. you wanted to nail glaser, right? i mean, you were dying to do it. damn straight. i thought he was guilty. it was all a setup, wasn't it? i mean, even bringing in charlie from the get-go. i called your brother to get answers. yeah. what were you doing at the prison yesterday? my job. oh, yeah? what's that, executing criminals, huh? killing someone for tanking your case? you don't know what the hell you are talking about. you tell me what i don't know. i will tell you.

i went to go and see aronow because i wanted the truth. mm-hmm. i was tired of all this damn screwing around. the only person i blame for blowing the case against glaser is me. i'm the one who leaked his name. oh, come on. you don't believe me, go-go check the case files. my confidential reprimand is in there. i am a cop, eppes, not a murderer. you know what? you're off the case... yeah, well, whatever. okay. so malloy took a two-month suspension for leaking glaser's name to walton's newspaper. hey, liz. but the prison surveillance tapes show no sign that she passed anything to aronow. right. well, i mean, somebody did. and i think i know who. yeah? and i got to thinking maybe our guy wasn't on the prison visitors' log, 'cause he's already inside, so i ran background checks on the prison personnel. colby: that's the guard on aronow's cellblock. lee kettrick, former san francisco bomb squad. in bill regan's unit. regan was the guy killed defusing aronow's last letter bomb. liz: i mean, kettrick wasn't there, but he watched his buddy blown up on tv.

he quit the force last year-- issues with depression. gets a new job. and like malloy, thinks glaser is part of the dna bomber conspiracy. and had a list of people he blamed for letting him go free. kills them, makes it look like glaser. and then kills aronow as final payback. so, where's this guy now? david: fbi! don't move! down on your knees. let's go. put your hands behind your head. david: we have you on tape, kettrick, slipping bomb materials to jason aronow. given what i wanted to do to him, the kid got off easy. and what about the others? glaser should have gone to prison. it's their fault he didn't. even if he didn't build those bombs, he gave that kid the idea. it's all over now, kettrick. that's what you think. (laughs) (car remote chirps)

you'd do that for me?

really? yeah, i'd like that. who are you talking to? uh, it's jake from state farm. sounds like a really good deal. jake from state farm at three in the morning. who is this? it's jake from state farm. what are you wearing, jake from state farm? [ jake ] uh... khakis. she sounds hideous. well she's a guy, so...

but david and colby think he's chosen his next victim. fuse is already lit. well, we've identified the potential targets. yeah, and we're screening their mail. wait. what if he's not using the mail? i mean, he already played us once, right? oh, it's the courthouse. yeah, what about it? he wanted those files to know who screwed up glaser's conviction. oh, my god. it's malloy. (car remote chirps, car door bell dings) (sighs) (dings) (phone ringing) (sighs) malloy. it's eppes. where are you? my car. i'm vacating the premises. those were your orders, right? listen to me. get out of the car. you're the next target. (rhythmic beeping) your timing could have been better, eppes. (beeping) i'm sitting on the bomb right now, and i got 19 minutes. well, don't move, jessica. if kettrick used another one of glaser's military designs,

there's probably a pressure-switch in the seat. all right. don: all right, just hang tight, okay? you keep that line open. we're going to get you out of there. it's going to take at least half an hour to get the bomb squad to roll. all right, look, we got to find another way then, all right? think i see it. hey, i need to talk to you. i'm busy, professor. retrieving what your fbi friends took from me. i need your help. i gave it to you, remember? there's a bomb, all right? it's likely your design. malloy's the target. i know your history, but you're her only hope. personal animus aside, sounds like a job for the bomb squad, not me. there's no time. i'm sorry. i can't help you. glaser! i know what rf59 means. it's richard feynman's 1959 lecture on nanotechnology, the future, right? i applaud your insight, but i'm not sure i see your point. feynman loved ideas, but he would never have used incendiary words without regards for consequences. would have never walked away from someone who needed his help. you were his student! what happened?

(garbled radio transmission) (tires screeching) all right, i got the wifi tap. i'm hacking into the onboard computer right now. don: all right, jess, how you doing there? i was doing fine, till i got a look at your rescue team. don: uh, he's here to help. you just got to trust me, relax. (garbled radio transmission) what do you say, pal? we're way past letter bombs. it's one of my designs, looks like. thing's got enough c4 to blow her into the upper deck. so, what, are you saying you can disarm it or not? i can take care of the pressure switch. activating the airbag will disable the sensor. bomb's timer is another matter. we stop the clock, it'll go off. what if we fool it instead? but how? if we reset the clock so that the bomb thinks it's already detonated, then the computer will look for instructions in the code, and find none. terminating itself and crashing. charlie: right, so, we just need to override the gps feed. wait, guys, we got a minute here... i'm on it. what about blowing the airbag, deactivating the seat sensor? we can sequence it in. charlie: just did that.

don: yeah, that'll work? in theory. airbag will blow before the timer override. she'll have two, maybe three seconds to get out of the car. all right, i'm going to go help her. what? now, wait. don, don! just... just disarm it, all right? i got it. what are you doing, eppes? just relax. quiet. get out of here! all right, listen to me. eppes, come on, get out of here. listen to me. just relax. charlie thinks he can disarm it, okay? so i'm going to need you to jump. i'm gonna help you out. okay, you with me? all right. yeah, i'm with you. all right, charlie. i'm programming in the time right now. just hang on. (trilling) here we go. you ready? all right, stand by! okay. (trilling) now! go, go! (screaming) stay back! (trilling) (beep) it didn't detonate. bomb's disarmed. congratulations, professors. you all right? you all right? yeah, yeah, yeah. two arms, two legs, i'm-i'm good, yeah. don: okay, just take a... take a second.
