 A paperboy is kidnapped and his bodyguards following him on his route are killed. The boy, Jo, is held for ransom that will pay his kidnapper for his promised share of a company revenue by Jo s father, who is in opposition with the FBI. After finally allowing Colby in, Jo s father learns the reasons for his son s kidnapping. Colby is sent on a wild chase to deliver the ransom money and save Jo s life. At each "checkpoint" of the chase, the intelligent kidnapper eliminates another FBI agent from the chase so it is only Colby and the kidnapper. Meanwhile, Don cannot be reached because he is with the therapist. He comes to the realization that he "doesn t need to trust [the agents under him] but they just need to trust" him. This is the most exciting, intense, and creative Numb3rs of all three seasons. You will be on the edge of your seat for the entire episode cheering for the characters.
