Game theory applications are used in every aspect of life including the agents' battles to locate and identify the criminals. Following video from TV show "Numb3rs" discusses the game theory implementation to find the assassin before he commits the crime. The idea is that by increasing the partial information about him and his potential moves, officers can think strategically and find out his potential moves and their probabilities, resulting in a mixed strategy equilibria.

Also, the video establishes an analogy between "Hide and Seek" and "Battleship" games. Assume that the assassin would like to make this look like an accident. Then his options are limited. For instance, he cannot use bombs which limit his options. As the agents come to know more about the criminal, they can limit the options and probabilities and can eventually solve the crime.
