Charlie and his Whine

This was a well constructed police drama and Charlie did his thing. At the beginning an agent is killed in a meth lab explosion. There are two problems. Find the guy who is responsible. Find his daughter whom he is abusing. There are several disturbing scenes, however. Sometimes Charlie gets on my nerves. He is full of regrets and gets all morose. He loses sight of the important things, the things that are most urgent.

Trivia
The cast and relevant crew members had to sign waivers that they wouldn't reveal exactly how the magic trick was done. The trick revealed on the show is slightly different from the actual trick.

Goofs
Steganography doesn't work as pictured here. More likely you could have two audio or image files, between which every sample or pixel only differ a little, so the "carrier" file (into which the hidden data is encrypted) would sound or look OK. The person who has the "key" file, would then compare the key file with the encrypted file, byte by byte, to extract the encrypted data. However, this method can't hide a file with resolution equal to the carrier file resolution (one or perhaps two bits per byte only). So the image of the girl couldn't have been encrypted into the picture of the house without visibly distorting the data.

Quotes
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: This degree of traumatic experience would disturb even the most stable of Homo sapiens. This is not even taking into account the double x chromosome situation.
Charlie Eppes: Situation?
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Yeah, you know women have two x chromosomes, men have an x and a so-called y. But I think if you examine it closely as I have, you'll find that the y is just an x with a piece missing.
Charlie Eppes: Signifying what?
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Well, since I'm missing that very piece, I may not be qualified to answer that, but I think it has something to do with you know they're just more sensitive.
Charlie Eppes: Or that they can bear children?
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Eh yeah, well that too.
