Don't miss the brand new series of Numb3rs on ITV3 now.
FBI Special Agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) uses the skills of his mathematical-genius brother Charlie (David Krumholtz), to help the Bureau solve crimes in LA. With their combined expertise in detection and maths, the two brothers can take on cases which confound the rest of the force.
Often based on actual events, Numb3rs shows how these two seemingly disconnected worlds can be a powerful tool in crime solving when combined.
As well as his little brother, Don is joined on the team by fellow agents Megan Reeves (Diane Farr), who specialises on the behavioural aspects of investigations, David Sinclair (Alimi Ballard), who utilizes the survival skills he developed growing up in New York and new agent Colby Granger (Dylan Bruno) who has a military background.
At first the team have their doubts about the brother’s methods, but when they see the results they warm to the unusual take on criminal investigation.
The boy’s father, Alan (Judd Hirsch), doesn’t quite grasp what his sons are doing for a living but he’s happy to see them working together.
Charlie is helped out by his fellow boffins at CalSci. Physicist friend Larry and Charlie's former grad student Amita frequently help him to see cases in a new light and focus his skills on the investigation.
Though the brothers couldn’t be more different, they are able to combine their individual skills to the benefit of the Bureau.
