So, do we really need logic, or not?
New on FOX on Mondays nights this fall is a show called Vanished. It's about a Georgia senator's wife who's been kidnapped. Oddly enough, there may be something deeper going on. I've seen all of it so far, and I'm still on the fence. I'm not really claiming it's good, but there is some überspitzenkeit that I like about it.
the wife of the former mayor of Atlanta who had been missing for 10 years shows up. She's been dead for 10 years, but she was kept frozen all this time. And she was left with a cryptic symbol drawn on her hand. When the former mayor was told, he warned them to leave it alone, and then shot himself. We later find out that the wife was kidnapped in an effort to get the mayor to stop the building of a reservoir.
So far, we've had the ransom demand that the senator vote to confirm a supreme court nominee, who is the senator's "lifelong friend," a nominee who a year ago had an affair with with the senator's underage daughter. The senator does not know about this, but his wife did. Why exactly he would need the threat against the life of his wife to force him to vote to confirm his friend I don't really know.
Then there's the Glouster, MA, fisherman who claims that he knew the wife under a different name 12 years ago, and he has the video to prove it. Or at least he did until it was stolen from his truck at the same time that the copy that a report had made was erased from her computer. Oh, he may have just discovered he has a daughter by her.
The Masons and the Attorney General are pretty clearly involved (the AG, has Masonic stuff on his desk). In an effort to discredit the fisherman's story, the bad guys, hire another fisherman to say that 12 years ago, he found a dead body that was obviously her. She was buried as a Jane Doe in a potter's field, a potter's field that the night before we saw the man who hired the second fisherman burying a coffin in. As though they couldn't tell that the coffin had been buried 12 hours ago, not 12 years ago. Then the second fisherman was murdered. While it's amazing that things like this don't really bother me. In fact I kind of like it.
However, here's the thing that makes me want to stop watching. The FBI found a laptop that was receiving a live video signal of the kidnapped wife until a prisoner being transfered wrote a message in Masonic runes on her palm as a symbol to tell them to stop the broadcast, which means the FBI can no longer triangulate on the signal. However, the main agent gets an idea: "You said the laptop can send as well as receive. If you rig it to broadcast the signal, can't you trace it back to the source?"
"It will take time to isolate the signal, but in theory, yeah."
Okay, if they "follow the signal back to the source" when they are broadcasting it from their own office, isn't it going to lead them to their own office? And if they're broadcasting the same signal that they've been triangulating in on for at least an hour, don't they already have the signal isolated?
