MATHEMATICS USED TO STOP A SERIAL RAPIST IN THE PREMIERE EPISODE OF NUMB3RS
“Pilot” – While FBI Special Agent Don Eppes, along with his partner, Terry Lake and new FBI recruit, David Sinclair analyze a series of rapes, they start to run out of time when the rapist begins killing his victims in the premiere episode of NUMB3RS, Sunday, January 23, 2005 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. Mick Jackson directed the episode written by Cheryl Heuton and Nick Falacci, the series’ co-creators and coexecutive producers.
FBI Agent Don Eppes is stumped while trying to solve a series of challenging rape crimes in Los Angeles. After secretly reviewing the case file, his mathematical genius brother, Charlie, offers suggestions on how to catch the perpetrator. By working back from the crime scene locations, Charlie attempts to solve the case by using a mathematical equation to identify the killer’s point of origin. When trying to put the equation into motion, Charlie and the FBI team discover that the equation is slightly skewed due to a dishonest rape victim. Charlie’s obsession with the case leads him to seek out the insight of his colleague, physicist Dr. Larry Fleinhardt, who urges Charlie to focus more on his university studies than on FBI business.
Meanwhile, Charlie’s father, Alan, is pleased to see his sons working together, but fears their competitive nature will lead to trouble.
