    Too Risky

    The whole plot here is so complicated that any little thing could mess it all up. Edgerton is my favorite character because Lou Diamond Philips has a real ethos about him. There was a lot of evil here, but it wasn't all from the prisoners. Ask yourself, who are your least favorite people in this episode?

    hokum

    Like most of the stories on this show, reality is altered in favor of crap writing...switching security id bracelets on federal prisoners is NOT possible without detection so the first premise is illogical....all these math solutions are more than someones figment of imagination...they have been created to fool the watcher and misdirect the attention...i sincerely doubt david krumbum's math capabilities...algorithms rarely ever prove out, meaning its mostly theory and a lot of garbage in the end...the nice visual explanations look well rehearsed but rarely ever pertain to the problem yet alone a logical solution...

      Don Eppes: All right, take it easy. Take it easy.

      [Edgerton takes Colby hostage]

      Colby Granger: Don, you need to take the shot, you just take it.

      Agent Ian Edgerton: Too late. You should have shot right away. Now you're thinking too much, that's when you make mistakes.

      Don Eppes: I thought you were innocent, Ian.

      Agent Ian Edgerton: I am.

      Don Eppes: Yeah, I can see that.

      Colby Granger: Don't let him get in your head, Don. You do what you need to do.

      Janet Galvin: [Enters with Sinclair and Thompson] I got him.

      Agent Ian Edgerton: I've seen you shoot Galvin. You're not that good.

      David Sinclair: He's not gonna hurt Colby. He knows he'd be dead, one second later.

      Agent Ian Edgerton: Yeah, then go ahead and pull the trigger Sinclair. Kill your own partner.

      Colby Granger: Don't do anything stupid, okay? There's a way out of this is all.

      Agent Ian Edgerton: Looks like we've got ourselves an honest-to-God Mexican standoff. Who's blinking first?

      Janet Galvin: You wanna die? Fine by me.

      Agent Ian Edgerton: It's your decision, Don. You know what I'm capable of.

      Frank Thompson: Eppes, don't back down.

      Don Eppes: All right, David, get them out. Get out. Get out!

      David Sinclair: Go. Move. Let's go. Move. Up.

      [They leave the room leaving Edgerton and Colby inside]

      David Sinclair: .

      Janet Galvin: [Outside the room] What the hell do you think you're doing?

      Don Eppes: Just trying to save a life.
