    Gang Stuff

    An FBI undercover agent has infiltrated on of the most dangerous gangs, but one night he is shot and killed. The algorithm this time is to show the predictability of gang violence. He butts heads with a career guy. The striking thing involves the statistics of shootings and deaths in LA. I'd be interested to see if they are accurate. There is some pretty precious romantic things here that, for me, are a distraction.

    • Trivia
      Tamara Taylor, who plays community center director Olivia Rawlings in this episode, went on to play Dr. Camille Saroyan in Bones; in that show she is head of the Forensic Division of the Jeffersonian and often works closely with the FBI to solve crimes, as well as a former police officer. Aldis Hodge, who plays suspected shot caller Travis, went on to play Alec Hardison in Leverage; in that show he is a thief/hacker who, along with a team, works outside the law (usually) to solve crimes and right wrongs.
    • Goofs
      After Charlie explains to Don why he should look at the entire first shooting chain Don says you'd be safe shooting "Tim" to start a chain that leads to the killing of "Bob" because you have no motive for killing "Tim". However you DO have a motive for killing "Tim", it's just that your motive is less visible.

      Correction: This is not a "motive" in the sense that the FBI would interpret the term in. So the statement is still valid in that it's not a motive that a criminologist would normally consider as such.
    • Quotes

      Alan Eppes: Hey listen, I want to ask you guy something. Um, it's her birthday coming up and I want to get her a gift. Something, I dunno. I just don't know what.

      Don Eppes: It's just a question of what you want to say.

      Alan Eppes: Well how about, happy birthday?

      Charlie Eppes: You know, two mathematicians from University College of London actually recently addressed this, this very same question.

      Alan Eppes: Mathematicians? English mathematicians?

      Charlie Eppes: They used game theory to analyze the best characteristics of a courtship gift.

      Don Eppes: Well, no offence Charlie, but it sounds like two math geeks who don't date much.

      Charlie Eppes: I do take offence.
