We All Need Time Alone

This is an interesting piece on two levels. First of all, it involves a sort of chameleon guy who has lived through a series of identities in the scientific community. But what is his end game. A piece of potentially dangerous equipment which could engineer toxins is stolen in a highly sophisticated technical heist. Trust is at the center of everything. The second level involves the family. Charlie finds out that his mother was a published composer right up to the time she died, but none of them had an inkling. Well played and sad at times.

This Episode Was very touching

I have watched this episode just like every one of the series... But this one has a emotional note to me.. The mother of Charlie being a musical person... It really touched my heart... and then ending when ebs was playing the piano a piece which the mother composed..

Well It got me going.. watched the ending part 10 times.. still get tears in my eyes when I see the father closing his eyes remembering his wife. I think the show is very good... and sometimes the emotional things about it .. got me really moving. Lets see what you all thought of this one.. I am curious.

I have to mind you.. that I am not easy touched by series in general.. but hell.. I liked numb3rs the first time I saw it :)

Quotes
Charlie Eppes: Let me ask you something. Did you actually think that I was jealous of Ron Allen?
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: [chuckles] Well, I mean... yeah, maybe a scootch.
Charlie Eppes: I'll be honest with you. You weren't exactly wrong. But not jealous of Ron, not specifically.
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: But...?
Charlie Eppes: Well, you know, when I was a 13-year-old freshman, it wasn't much fun but it was cool. Everything I did was that much more impressive because of how young I was. And you know it was always, If he's able to accomplish that now, can you imagine what amazing things he'll accomplish when he's 25.
[sighs]
Charlie Eppes: Now I'm 30 years old.
Dr. Larry Fleinhardt: Listen, listen. Paul Erdich published more than 1500 papers. He died, literally, at the chalkboard at age 83. C'mon, you haven't seen your best years yet, Charles.
Charlie Eppes: No. But uh... they'll never come ahead of schedule again.
