Singapore is a smuggling hub: Numb3rs
Posted by Ray @ 8:05 pmNumb3rs is a geeky little show that dramatizes how mathematics is used in FBI investigations. It stars a rather unrecognizable David Krumholtz as Charlie Epps, a mathematical genius who helps his FBI investigator brother solve a plethora of crimes.
In a recent episode, a racing ship smuggling illicit weapons sinks just off the coast of Los Angeles.
Where did they pick them up? Singapore!
Don Epps: Whatever the Cheetah was smuggling, apparently it picked up in Singapore
NSA guy: How do you know that?
Don: ‘Cos Charlie says it was moving slower after it left its port. So does that mean anything to you guys?
NSA: It could. A couple of [unintelligible] - missile guidance systems - four units disappeared from a Pakistani army base 12 weeks ago. NSA’s been tracking them, but we lost them crossing into Thailand. If they continue on that trajectory…
Don: Right. Singapore.
Oh noes, we harbour terrorist smugglers! Better tell the CID, so we can hang the fella.
