When the statements of the agents involved do not match Charlie’s theory about what happened, suspicion falls on one of Don’s mentors. Elsewhere, Larry faces a crossroads in his career.

The agents are called to a bank heist that has spiralled out of control. Don’s former mentor, Pete Fox, headed up a team of FBI agents planning to capture the leader of an armed gang. However, during the robbery, agents Ryba and Hale were killed and the suspect fled. The third member of the team, Tina Gordon, has been taken to hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. “The fugitive’s name is Jim Wilson,” Fox tells Don. “He’s violent and he’s good at what he does.”

Before taking up the role of Agent David Sinclair on ‘Numb3rs’ five years ago, Alimi Ballard starred in US TV series ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ and ‘Dark Angel’. Ahead of the premiere of season six, he tells us what to expect in the new series.

How did you first get involved in ‘Numb3rs’?
We shot the pilot in March 2004. My agent called and said “Hey, man, we’ve got an audition for a new series.” I said, “I love it, I’ll take it, let’s go!” I read for it, and then I read for it again, and after the fifth audition I got the job! We shot a pilot and the network didn’t like it so we shot another one. Tony Scott helped out for the second pilot and then the show was approved. We went on the air at the top of 2005 and we were a hit!

Beginning this week is the sixth season of the explosive Los Angeles-based crime drama. In this instalment, the agents are called in to protect a high profile activist during a political rally. The case is complicated when a lone sniper targets the campaigner – but what is behind the attacks? Elsewhere, Charlie and Amita attempt to keep their engagement a secret.

The agents are asked to provide security for firebrand activist Benjamin Polk during a political rally. “I’m not exactly sure what he is except our problem for the next few days,” Don remarks. Charlie arrives at the site of the forthcoming demonstration with a theory about crowd control, but he is interrupted when shots ring out. Don chases the shooter in a car, but fails to catch him. David then finds a mobile phone ringing near the scene and answers the call. “That was fair warning. Don’t get between Benjamin Polk and the bullet with his name on it,” the caller warns.

Following Amita’s shocking abduction (see last week’s episode, ‘Greatest Hits’), a distraught Charlie phones Don at FBI headquarters and tells him she was dragged into a blue jeep with tinted windows. “Wake up anyone who isn’t here,” orders Don. The team soon tracks the vehicle down to a parking lot, but it immediately explodes. David confirms that there were two victims in the car, but the bodies are so badly burned he is unable to tell if either is Amita. “They’re both female – but beyond that it’s a morgue question,” he says.

When Charlie is distracted by a new hypothesis at Cal-Sci, he rushes through an analysis on a series of burglaries for the team. “You’ve got to hand it to your brother, he came up with that math pretty damn fast,” Nikki tells Don as they prepare for the operation. “Yeah, after screwing around for two days,” he replies. During the sting, four burglars escape, but Don is stabbed by a fifth man as they make their getaway. Charlie blames his own sloppy work for Don’s attack. “I predicted four invaders.
