Some of the best episodes of Numb3rs are the ones where they try something a little bit different from their usual crime-solving procedural, and this episode is a great example.
Two trains are involved in a head-on collision, and amid all the carnage six surviving passengers are trapped in a car while toxic chemicals are leaking into the air. As some of the team members try to track down the cause of the crash, the others are involved in a tense race against the clock to save the trapped passengers.
Charlie unleashes some robots to help the team map the lay of the debris, as well as the injured humans, in the train car, but as the tension mounts and the clock counts down, tempers flare and patience runs thin.
There is less humor and interplay among the main characters than one normally expects from this show, but most of the time I was too busy biting my nails to notice.
