Hey, Patel.
You open or what?
Can we get some coffee over here?
[sighs]
[suspenseful music]
Oh, my God.
The next planetarium tour starts in five minutes.
He doesn't have the binder.
He's never gonna pass the test.
- Don't let him see it. - [all chuckling]
Hey, what's going on? You look, uh,
you look like you're having a little trouble there, huh?
I got dissed by my team.
- You did? - We took... we took all the notes
together, but they have the binder, so I...
So you can't answer the questions, huh?
Lucky for you, I remember everything.
- What grade are you in? - Sixth grade.
Well, I was in the sixth grade once, too.
And I had to take a tour of the planetarium
and answer a bunch of questions.
Let me take a look at this.
We're gonna bring out your inner genius right now.
Okay, what is the brightest star?
Well, they're gonna expect you to say Sirius is the brightest star
because it is the brightest star that you can see at night,
but the real brightest star, other than you, of course, is...
The sun.
Exactly. You're a genius.
All right, what is the name of the ninth planet?
What is with these people? This is another trick question.
What they want you to say is that there is no ninth planet
because Pluto is just a big chunk of floating ice.
But I think Pluto might get a second chance.
How do you know all that?
I remember everything.
That's so cool.
You're cool.
Hey, if those kids give you a hard time anymore,
you tell 'em you have a friend who's a cop
- and she'll arrest them. - [phone ringing]
Hey, Al.
[suspenseful music]
- No, no, thanks. - Okay.
Hey, Al, what do we got?
Victim's name is Sunil Patel.
Born in India, worked here about two years.
Friend of the family owns the place.
The register was untouched, so not a robbery.
Hmm.
He comes in, opens up the store, right?
The first thing he's gonna do is make the coffee,
but they don't have filters.
So he goes to get the filters,
and before he can finish what he started,
he comes face to face with his killer.
What about the owner?
Kamala Kapoor.
Patel always came in first.
Then she'd come and help him open up.
Okay, what'd she have to say for herself?
Not much. She's pretty shaken up.
Really?
She's also 5'2", maybe 125 pounds.
As I recall, Emily Mathis from Syracuse
was 5' and 100 pounds,
and she stabbed her husband 17 times.
As I recall, little Emily stabbed her husband while he was unconscious.
And as I recall, little Emily
smacked him over the head with a 40-pound mallet.
- Are you always right? - Mostly.
All right, I'll check her out again.
- Thank you. - Hey.
What do you got?
So it appears this young man died of asphyxiation.
There's minimal trauma to the nostrils.
No ligature marks.
Honestly, I can't be certain what the cause of death
is until I open him up.
Well, whatever it was, he put up a fight.

Hey, Al, uh, have you had the...
Sandra Russo.
- It's been a long time. - Hello, Al.
I knew you'd be lurking around here somewhere.
Good to see you.
Thought lurking was more your thing.
- Mm-hmm. - Okay, so you two have met.
Well, Al, Captain Russo here...
Captain. Oh, of course you've made captain.
No, Al, Captain Russo, she's...
Actually, I'm here looking for some help.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
What help could you possibly need?
Certainly not with your career, right?
Going so well.
Maybe with a case?
Did the commissioner ask you to do some real police work?
You got all excited, and then you remembered
you don't know what that is?
Actually, the commissioner did ask me to do a job.
Very good. And I do need your help.
Well, we're kinda busy here at Major Crimes, Captain Russo.
If the commissioner wants our help,
he could start by giving us a new boss.
Oh, he has.
He has?
You got to be kidding me.
No. I would have given you some warning,
but I just decided not to.
You're the new head of Major Crimes?
Al, look, for the last two years,
Major Crimes has been the jewel in this police force
mostly due to you and your brilliant partner.
I'm just here to keep that jewel sparkling.
That's my job.
Yours, like it always was, is to take the credit.
Hmm. That's funny.
I remember you didn't mind taking credit eight years ago.
Or do you still not want to talk about that?
I'm not talking about Tendler.
Not now, not ever.
Welcome to Major Crimes, Captain Russo.
Thank you.
This is gonna be great.
So I haven't looked at the samples
- from Patel's nasal cavity yet. - Okay.
But I did find subdural hemorrhaging around the nose
and mouth probably caused by pinching the nose shut
and holding the jaw closed.
How does that work?
Come here.
Okay.
Okay, so you see this a lot in human smuggling, right?
You got a truckload of cargo at a checkpoint,
somebody's coughing, sick,
or they just won't be quiet.
Coyotes got a quick way of shutting 'em up.
What? I did a year with I.C.E. down in Yuma.
Why would somebody want to shut this guy up?
I don't know, but when you find out, let me know.
Hey, so the Patel kid checks out.
He's squeaky clean.
He's got a family back in Mumbai, India.
Landlord says he's a great tenant.
Apparently, he sends a quarter of his paycheck home each week.
Sure it's going to his parents?
Got nothing from the FBI or Homeland.
I mean, I'll keep digging, Al,
but I don't make this kid for a terrorist.
Let's be sure.
All right.
So, uh, you and the captain, you, um,
you go back a little, yeah?
A little.
Well, hey, old times, right?
Very old times.
Hey, so we got a cause of death on Sunil Patel.
- Interesting. - Care to share with the class?
It's like a two-handed suffocation thingy,
barehanded maybe.
- Barehanded? - Well, you pinch the nose shut,
you hold the mouth closed like... yeah.
Well, turn around. I'll show you.
- Uh, no. - Okay.
Jay, do a cross check for that MO in other homicides.
You got it, Boss.
Who's, uh, who's the new suit?
Ah, that's your new boss, Captain Sandra Russo.
Well, she looks, uh, she looks pretty tough.
- Any first impressions? - Known her a while.
She was my lieutenant back at the 117.
Only stuck around for a cup of coffee.
Long enough to make captain anyway.
[chuckles]
Sounds like there's a story there.
Ah, nothing worth telling.
All right, well, perhaps I should introduce myself.
- Ah. - How's my hair?
Yeah, your hair is good.
Hey, Al, I might have something for you on Patel.
There was a similar homicide last night at a private club
over on East 81st Street.
They found a body this morning.
Preliminary on-scene coroner's report says suffocation,
most likely by hand.
Well, cleaning crew found him, apparently.
All right, Michael Liu,
some big international finance hotshot.
Look at this place.
- It's a sex club at a bar. - You a regular here?
Well, you know, I'm a friendly guy.
Come on. The body's in the back.
All right. Okay, look.
We got hemorrhaging around the mouth, same MO as Patel.
Two in one day.
Someone's on a mission.

Your body scrape request is my command.
Step away from the body.

Detective Wells, I'm Sandra Russo, your new captain.

Okay. Call me whatever you want.
I mean, you're the captain, so...
Detective Padilla.
So I hate to start off on the wrong foot,
but this is Special Agent Drew Miller,
and the Bureau's gonna run with this one.
Why?
Well, because, as you're aware, Detective,
when the FBI has an ongoing case,
the NYPD generally defers to
a Bureau request for jurisdiction,
and that's what's happening right now.
I'll be taking it from here.
Excuse me.
What exactly is the FBI investigating?
Sorry, that's confidential.
All right, we're done here.
I like how you didn't take his shit.
Yeah, well, I'm just getting started.
This is gonna be fun.
- Hey, Delina. - Hey.
So what's going on?
Suddenly I get a directive to give everything I got on Liu
to the feds and only the feds.
Well, I would think of it
as less of a directive and more of a, you know, suggestion.
Is that right? Got it.
All right, well,
I can pretty much confirm the cause of death
on Michael Liu is the same as Patel.
Manual suffocation.
But here's the interesting part.
You smelled something on Liu,
- right? - Mm-hmm.
- Like a cologne? - Yeah.
Some kinda cologne was on Sunil Patel too.
- Really? - Around the mouth and nose.
It was faint, but it was definitely there.
Check that out.
- Lavender, tea tree, ambergris. - Right.
I mixed some up for you.
Now, it might not be exact,
but you'll get the idea. Here.
[inhales]
[sniffs] Do you smell that?
- What? - Cologne.
That's it?
Thank you, Delina.
No problem. Any time.
All right, I just sent you the report.
You did?
Yep.
Oh, boy.
Shit's about to hit the fan.
What part of "We're out of this case"
do you and your partner not understand?
We just got this email to Major Crimes
directed to Detective Wells from the medical examiner's office
regarding a certain Michael Liu. What's that?
We're not trying to muscle in on the feds,
but these homicides are related.
All right, I hear you, but you know what?
You two have lived up to the hype, but listen to me,
I'm here to support you.
The best way to support us is to let us do our thing.
Look, I'm gonna tell you the department is very,
very happy with your solve rate,
but your success comes with a cost.
There are cops in every precinct
asking why they can't do things the Carrie Wells way.
I wish I could tell 'em.
But that's not your job.
- That's my job. - Oh.
And my answer is from now on,
this department is not gonna be run
like some rogue branch of the NYPD.
We are going to follow the standard rules and
procedures of this department.
Rules and procedures?
Mm-hmm.
Got to love that.
What, you have something to say? You know what?
I think you were right the first time.
Let's just not talk about Tendler now.
Oh, and please make sure your partner
understands my concerns.
Oh, I will.
All right, Do you got it?
What's with the cloak and dagger?
- What's up, Carrie? - It's complicated.
All right, so what we're doing, is it illegal?
Come on, Jay, you know me.
- You're right. It's illegal. - Listen to me.
There's a fine line between illegal and legal.
And I don't have time for all the politics on this one.
There is a direct connection
between Michael Liu and Sunil Patel.
The MO, the cologne.
Everything I get on Liu...
Gets you one step closer to finding Patel's killer.
Exactly. So hand it over.
Okay, very interesting guy, this Mr. Liu.
A couple years ago a bunch of hackers
tried to shut down the New York Stock Exchange.
Michael Liu was a person of interest.
The defense couldn't find anything concrete
to tie him to the operation.
You see, the exchange
is one of the most secure sites in the world.
You need a direct line in,
and without any proof of that, the case fell apart.
All right, and what has Mr. Liu been up to since then?
Well,
Mr. Liu was pitching some huge hush-hush deal all over town.
Met with big-money people.
The fed's been keeping a pretty close eye on him though.
I've seen him before. What's his name?
That would be Philippe Huet.
Big securities trader.
He was at Patel's crime scene right near the deli.
Well, that makes sense 'cause Philippe Huet just
started a trading company that he runs out of his townhouse,
which coincidentally is right next door
to the Deli News deli.
So maybe Philippe Huet
is our connection between the two victims.
You got it, boss. Good job.
Substances found on Patel's face and neck
definitively match those found on Michael Liu.
The two men were killed by the same person.
- That's interesting. - Even more interesting,
Philip Huet who met with Michael Liu yesterday morning
lives right next door to the Patel murder scene.
Honestly, Russo,
I can't believe we're still talking about this.
Well, Detective Burns and Wells
may have linked Philippe Huet to both murders.
Look,
I don't want to have to call the deputy director on this.
Oh, oh, you don't have to.
I'm right here, Drew.
Deputy Meltzer, sir.
We've already taken a lead on this.
- Not anymore. - Captain Russo's team
has developed some solid leads,
and I want all operational command on this
to come from Major Crimes.
- Are you sure, sir? - I am.
Get them up to speed,
and the Bureau will provide tactical support as needed.
- Nice work, Captain.- Thank you.
Well,
looks like we're partnering up on this one, Agent Miller.
Okay.
For the past two weeks, we've been hearing chatter
about an imminent electronic attack on the NYSE.
We know Huet's been constructing a supercomputer cluster
with various financial hypercube architectures
in the basement of his townhouse.
There's nothing really illegal about building
a fast computer to make more money.
Well, let's just say Huet's motives are somewhat suspect.
Both his parents worked for the UN in Yemen.
They were accidentally killed in an American drone strike.
Well, then why kill Michael Liu?
We think Huet was working with Liu
on another attack on the Exchange,
but Liu had a weakness for the boy bars
and he liked to drink and he liked to talk.
Lethal combination.
But if you're so concerned about Huet,
why not just take a look at his computers?
Well, at this point, concern is just about all we got.
- Not enough for a warrant. - Of course,
if he were to voluntarily invite someone into his house,
you may not need a warrant.
With all the SCC scrutiny he's been under,
he's not letting anybody close.
Unless he wants her close.
Who we talking about here?
You really think she can get in?
Oh, she can get in.

[indistinct chatter]
- Absolutely. - We're all out.
- Sorry about that. - There are definitely...
[indistinct chatter]
I feel the same way about...
Oh, there's our host right now.
Excuse me for just one second.
Boy, what a party you have thrown.
Thank you, Ted. Now, can you excuse me?
Actually, before you go,
there's just something I need to discuss with you.
I need to divest three or four million dollars
before the end of the year. I'm looking to place funds.
I don't know what Talia told you about me,
but I'm really not the person to talk to.
I think you'd probably be exactly the person to talk to.
All right, Jay, come on.
All right, maybe a couple more seconds.
It's still best to consult a professional.
Yeah, well, I thought that's what I was doing.
[chuckles]
Could you go down to the cellar?
We're out of champagne.
The thing is it's a lot of money.
I don't want to go somewhere that means nothing to me.
- Right. - I want it to mean something.
[tense music]
Oh, come on, Jay.
I'm running out of time here.
Uh...
Jay, come on. Come on, come on, come on.
No.
Hey, try 75362.
Okay, 75362. No.
Uh...
Carrie, try 24256.
24256. Shit.
Any time now would be great, Jay.
Carrie, try 23647.
This is gonna work. Come on, come on.
All right. All right.
Wow.

Can you get us behind the server bank?
Uh-huh.
[tense music]
Let's say he comes in and he opens up the shop
this morning, right?
First thing he does is go to make the coffee.
There's no filters, so he...
Climbs up here to get the filters.

Jay, this orange cable, I saw the exact same one in the deli.
Carrie, can you go in tighter on those?
No way. I don't believe it.
What?
Those are multiport fiber optic cables.
They were invented by the Dutch.
I mean, I've heard of them. I've never seen 'em.
Jay, stay focused with me. Okay?
Okay, basically,
they're the fastest data cables in the world.
I'm talking 250 terabytes per second on a slow day.
Okay, and what would they need it for?
You could download the entire "Harry Potter" movie series
in about 0.06 milliseconds,
but my guess is Huet's got something else in mind.
Carrie, can you follow those cables to their source?
[suspenseful music]
♪
Wait a minute. Hold on.
They're jacked into the system as output cables.
They're not for financial trades.
This is a direct line. It's at the heart
of global trading through the stock exchange.
He's gonna hijack the world markets.
If you dump enough data fast enough
into the American and Pacific exchanges
and the system overloads,
it'll be chaos.
So why run the cables through the deli?
I don't know,
but I have a feeling that Patel saw it
and it's what got him killed.
[tense music]
Of course, anything involving schools or education,
that... I would invest what I...
Philippe, can I have a word with you?
[tense music]
- Ms. Oberfeld. - Saru, hey.
Philippe just sent me down here to get more champagne.
Ah, my task as well.
Of course, please, let me help you.
Mm.
That's an interesting cologne you wear.
Thank you. There's a perfumer
on Lexington Avenue who makes it particularly for me.
No one else in the world has it.
Now, after you.

Philippe.
Talia, what are you doing here?
- I found her... - Oh, I...
- Snooping about, sir. - I was not snooping about.
I was getting you some champagne
because you said you were running out.
- And how did you get in? - Well,
I just walked right down the stairs.
All right, fine.
I'm not Talia.
I'm a cop, and I'm wired,
and backup's on the way. And guess what?
You're under investigation for homicide and terrorism.
All units move in now.
No. Wait. We need more.
She has a play. Just wait.
[chuckles] What are you talking about?
I'm talking about the two men Saru murdered.
I'm talking about the cyber-attack
you're planning on the world financial market.
Murder?
- Insanity. - Cyber-attacks.
Saru, do you know anything about this?
No, sir, nothing.
I'm calling my lawyer.
What about those cables? Hmm?
What about those, Philippe?
[suspenseful music]
I don't know what those are doing there.
Maybe you know.
They simply allow us broader data exchange
in overseas trades.
Wait, Manette, I'm no fool.
I know something about network architecture.
Shut up.
- For once. - Manette, what are you doing?
They killed our parents, Philippe.
They offered us $20,000.
They didn't even fly their bodies home.
I want them to feel loss.
I want America to feel what it's like
to have everything taken away.
How will this change anything?
I don't care. I want revenge.
No. Not like this.
- Philippe, don't! - [gunfire]
Ah!
- All right, go. Go, go, go. - All units go.
[suspenseful music]
Drop it.
[both grunting]
Drop it.
[both grunting]
[gunfire] Ah!
You okay?
I had him.
Yeah, sure you did.
Come on. Up the stairs.
All right, let's go.
Oh, I'm sorry. This way.
Lieutenant, good job.
It is good to see you and your partner in one piece.
- We do what we can do. - You do.
I had my doubts, but you did a good job.
The syndicate behind Manette's plan's
- really gonna feel this one. - Mm-hmm.
Quite an introduction to Major Crimes.
- Thank you. - Did we scare you away already?
No. Are you kidding?
Quite the opposite. It whets my appetite.
You know I love a good challenge.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, hi. How you doing?
So, um, even though I'm not Talia Oberfeld,
I want to say that you're lovely,
and it was actually a lot of fun.
This is your idea of fun?
I can see how getting shot
and me being a cop might put a damper on things, you know.
I can't say I've ever seen
an officer in such a revealing dress.
Don't let her fool ya.
She dresses like this undercover or not.
So, um, feel better.
They'll take good care of you. And, uh, sorry again.
Seeing as we're all dressed up, want to get a drink?
It's 5:00 in the morning, Al.
Oh, the night is young.
All right.
[calm music]
- All right. Go ahead. - What?
You want to ask me about Philippe.
You know you want to. Go on.
Did you really have to kiss him like that?
[chuckles] Well, he's French,
and the French like to kiss. French kiss.
And I was undercover, so I was working.
Funny. It sure looked real.
Well, maybe it was kinda real.
What about you and the captain?
What's up there?
Ancient history. That's all.
You're gonna tell me someday.
Yeah, probably.
Maybe.
What do you mean "kinda real"?
I like to kiss good-looking men.
Remember?
Hmm.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
