Ep 18. All's Fair

In Numb3rs season 2 episode 18 titled "All's Fair," FBI agent Don Eppes (played by Rob Morrow) investigates a series of armored car robberies that have taken place in Los Angeles. The case is especially personal to Don, since one of the robberies resulted in the death of an armored car guard who was a former police officer and a close friend of Don's father (played by Judd Hirsch).

The initial lead in the case comes from a thief named Dwayne Carter (played by DB Woodside), who was involved in the first robbery and is now offering to help the FBI catch the rest of the robbers in exchange for a reduced sentence. Don and his team, including his brother Charlie Eppes (played by David Krumholtz), a mathematical genius and university professor, begin analyzing the patterns of the robberies and searching for any clues that may lead them to the other suspects.

As the investigation unfolds, the FBI learns that the robbers are a group of ex-military men who are skilled in strategy and tactics.

The FBI is able to identify three of the suspects, but the fourth is still at large. Don and his team race against time to track down the final suspect and prevent him from carrying out another robbery.

He is torn between his passion for teaching and his loyalty to his family and the FBI. Throughout the episode, Charlie seeks the advice of his colleagues and loved ones as he struggles to make a decision.

As the investigation and personal drama unfold, the FBI discovers that there is more to the armored car robberies than meets the eye.
