Here's a question
we should have asked
4
00:00:20,201 --> 00:00:21,601
ten minutes ago.
5
00:00:21,603 --> 00:00:24,003
What if these cuffs
really are un-pickable?
6
00:00:24,005 --> 00:00:26,939
Claiming a new line of handcuffs
to be “un-pickable”
7
00:00:26,941 --> 00:00:28,241
is the equivalent
of proclaiming
8
00:00:28,243 --> 00:00:29,709
revamped laundry detergent
9
00:00:29,711 --> 00:00:31,577
“new and improved”--
it's a marketing ploy,
10
00:00:31,579 --> 00:00:33,713
and not a very original one
at that.
11
00:00:33,715 --> 00:00:35,448
I'm just saying,
maybe we should have figured out
12
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:37,850
how to unlock them
before we put them on.
13
00:00:37,852 --> 00:00:40,653
The purpose of this exercise
is to simulate field conditions.
14
00:00:40,655 --> 00:00:43,056
If we were kidnapped,
do you think our captors
15

Abby Campbell.
37
00:01:33,975 --> 00:01:36,275
She's a lab tech
at our fertility clinic.
38
00:01:36,277 --> 00:01:38,277
The night before last,
she told a colleague
39
00:01:38,279 --> 00:01:39,946
she was planning
to work late.
40
00:01:39,948 --> 00:01:41,981
Her husband--
he's a doctor here--
41
00:01:41,983 --> 00:01:43,916
he says she never came home.
42
00:01:43,918 --> 00:01:45,685
Her car's still
in the parking garage,
43
00:01:45,687 --> 00:01:47,820
but no one's been able
to locate her.
44
00:01:47,822 --> 00:01:49,522
You called the police?
45
00:01:49,524 --> 00:01:52,058
They've already been here.
They're looking into it.
46
00:01:52,060 --> 00:01:54,160
But then I thought of you,
and I figured
47
00:01:54,162 --> 00:01:56,129
since we have a detective
in the family...
48
00:01:56,131 --> 00:01:59,966
Is it possible she left
without telling anyone?
49
00:01:59,968 --> 00:02:02,835
She has a two-year-old daughter.
I can't imagine her
50
00:02:02,837 --> 00:02:04,303
leaving her behind.
51
00:02:04,305 --> 00:02:07,740
She's a good person,
stable, respectable.
52
00:02:07,742 --> 00:02:10,143
Respectable people have been
known to uproot themselves
53
00:02:10,145 --> 00:02:12,712
without any warning.
All I can tell you is
54
00:02:12,714 --> 00:02:14,614
it would be out of character,
55
00:02:14,616 --> 00:02:17,316
and that a lot of people
care about her.
56
00:02:17,318 --> 00:02:19,552
So what do you think?
57
00:02:19,554 --> 00:02:21,721

59
00:02:33,067 --> 00:02:35,768
This is her workstation.
60
00:02:35,770 --> 00:02:38,838
Where she spent her days looking
at life through a microscope.
61
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,406
And nights.
62
00:02:40,408 --> 00:02:41,808
No one seems surprised
63
00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:43,910

65
00:02:45,446 --> 00:02:48,314
in the breeding age
of the average American female
66
00:02:48,316 --> 00:02:50,449
has led to a great increase
67
00:02:50,451 --> 00:02:52,685
in the demand
for fertility specialists.
68
00:02:52,687 --> 00:02:55,321
You'd think given the sensitive
nature of this facility,
69
00:02:55,323 --> 00:02:56,626
there would be security cameras,
wouldn't you?
70
00:02:56,650 --> 00:02:58,192
Surveillance
71
00:02:58,193 --> 00:03:00,860
in the hospital's lab wing
has always been pretty light.
72
00:03:00,862 --> 00:03:03,496
She could have
slipped out unnoticed.
73
00:03:03,498 --> 00:03:06,599
(electronic dinging)
Or someone else could have slipped in.
74
00:03:14,275 --> 00:03:15,446
What is it?
75
00:03:15,447 --> 00:03:16,247
It's Emily--
76
00:03:16,271 --> 00:03:18,271
she says she needs
to talk, it's urgent.
77
00:03:18,847 --> 00:03:20,546
Did your entire social network
choose today
78
00:03:20,548 --> 00:03:23,282
to have some sort of crisis,
or is this somehow related
79
00:03:23,284 --> 00:03:25,017
to your former administrator's
request for help.
80
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:27,386
No, Emily and Tamara
didn't know each other.
81
00:03:27,388 --> 00:03:29,055
Emily wants
to meet up.
82
00:03:29,057 --> 00:03:31,490
She says she needs
to talk in person.
83
00:03:32,293 --> 00:03:34,260
(exhales)
84
00:03:34,262 --> 00:03:36,829
Did you find something?
85
00:03:36,831 --> 00:03:38,965
Abby's workstation,
and only Abby's,
86
00:03:38,967 --> 00:03:42,268
has been very recently
and very thoroughly cleaned.
87
00:03:42,270 --> 00:03:44,437
Maybe she tidied up
before she left.
88
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,440
Maybe there was
a violent struggle here...
89
00:03:47,442 --> 00:03:50,476
followed
by a thorough scrubbing.
90
00:04:07,929 --> 00:04:10,396
Do you think Abby Campbell
and her fellow techs
91
00:04:10,398 --> 00:04:12,665
would be in the habit
of wheeling samples
92
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:14,901
to and from this area
on gurneys?
93
00:04:14,903 --> 00:04:16,569
You almost never
see gurneys
94
00:04:16,571 --> 00:04:17,937
in this part of the hospital--
95
00:04:17,939 --> 00:04:20,006
it's all labs
and support facilities.
96
00:04:20,008 --> 00:04:22,909
Yet there's evidence that one
was used here quite recently.
97
00:04:22,911 --> 00:04:26,012
Had a sticky wheel,
left scuff marks every few feet.
98
00:04:26,014 --> 00:04:29,749
That's one way someone could
have gotten Abby out of here.
99
00:04:29,751 --> 00:04:33,286
They continue into the corridor.
Let's track them.
100
00:04:44,499 --> 00:04:47,133
Trail ends here.
101
00:04:48,169 --> 00:04:50,603

102
00:04:50,605 --> 00:04:53,139
No, I've never been
down here before.
103
00:04:53,141 --> 00:04:56,042
Not exactly a surgical
suite, is it?
104
00:04:57,645 --> 00:04:59,779
Actually, I think it is.
105
00:04:59,781 --> 00:05:01,147
Sort of.
106
00:05:01,149 --> 00:05:04,216
This is
an ultrasonic aspirator.
107
00:05:08,022 --> 00:05:10,389
These are human organs.
108
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,460
More human organs.
109
00:05:14,462 --> 00:05:16,896
This is a prep lab
for medical specimens.
110
00:05:16,898 --> 00:05:18,364
They take donor corpses
111
00:05:18,366 --> 00:05:20,433
and turn them
into teaching materials
112
00:05:20,435 --> 00:05:22,501
for med schools.
This would have been
113
00:05:22,503 --> 00:05:25,171
a great place
to dispose of a body.
114

Now, since the hyoid

153
00:07:46,289 --> 00:07:48,956

You think the killer got rid

a broken hyoid

00:08:47,483 --> 00:08:49,116
Yeah, she left
her card.
180
00:08:49,118 --> 00:08:51,418
Gina Cortes.
181
00:08:52,889 --> 00:08:54,755
Here.
182
00:08:54,757 --> 00:08:56,724
Burglary Division,
183
00:08:56,726 --> 00:08:58,325
Coney Island.
Do you know her?
184
00:08:58,327 --> 00:09:01,629
No. What did she want to know.
It was weird.
185
00:09:01,631 --> 00:09:04,031
It was personal stuff,
like how we met,
186
00:09:04,033 --> 00:09:06,734
how often we get together.
She asked if I thought
187
00:09:06,736 --> 00:09:09,370
you were the kind of person
who would break the law.
188
00:09:09,372 --> 00:09:11,705
What?
I know.
189
00:09:11,707 --> 00:09:14,441
Well, did she say
she was working a case?
190
00:09:14,443 --> 00:09:17,011
No. When I asked why she
was asking about you,
191
00:09:17,013 --> 00:09:19,713
she said she wasn't at
liberty to discuss it.
192
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:23,651
Joanie...
193
00:09:23,653 --> 00:09:25,319
are you in some
sort of trouble?
194
00:09:25,321 --> 00:09:27,454
No, of course not.
'Cause if you are,
195
00:09:27,456 --> 00:09:29,857
you know you can tell me, right?
Emily,
196
00:09:29,859 --> 00:09:32,693
obviously there's been
some sort of misunderstanding.
197
00:09:33,629 --> 00:09:35,763
I'll look into it.
198
00:09:35,765 --> 00:09:37,798
SHERLOCK: Dr. Campbell,
just for the record,
199
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,935
you are an oncologist
at Stuyvesant Memorial?
200
00:09:40,937 --> 00:09:43,637
(sighs) Yeah.
That where
201
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:45,005
you and Abby met?
202
00:09:45,007 --> 00:09:46,774
We didn't
work together.
203
00:09:46,776 --> 00:09:48,142
Uh, not directly.
204
00:09:48,144 --> 00:09:50,277
My clinic is technically
a private practice.
205
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:53,247
We met at a party.
Mutual friends.
206
00:09:53,249 --> 00:09:55,049
How long have you
been together?
207
00:09:55,051 --> 00:09:56,483
Five years.
208
00:09:56,485 --> 00:09:59,753
Uh... married for three.
209
00:09:59,755 --> 00:10:02,790
Your calluses are...
quite distinctive.
210
00:10:02,792 --> 00:10:05,092
You a rock climber?
211
00:10:05,962 --> 00:10:07,695
Uh... Abby got me into it.
212
00:10:07,697 --> 00:10:09,296
I mostly climb at the gym.
213
00:10:09,298 --> 00:10:11,899
I imagine you've got
formidable grip strength.
214
00:10:11,901 --> 00:10:14,235
BELL: You're strong enough
to have overpowered Abby,
215
00:10:14,237 --> 00:10:16,003
you've got
the medical knowledge to...
216
00:10:16,005 --> 00:10:18,672
reduce her to a skeleton--
we have to ask.
217
00:10:18,674 --> 00:10:21,075
Did I kill my wife?
218
00:10:21,077 --> 00:10:22,843
No.
219
00:10:24,380 --> 00:10:27,548
I understand
you guys have to ask...
220
00:10:27,550 --> 00:10:28,883
but...
221
00:10:28,885 --> 00:10:31,118
The night that
Abby disappeared,
222
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,687
I was going over the books
with my clinic manager.
223
00:10:33,689 --> 00:10:35,556
Now, she can tell you
when I left,
224
00:10:35,558 --> 00:10:37,758
but I remember
it was late.
225
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,793
And why didn't you
report Abby missing
226
00:10:39,795 --> 00:10:42,096
when you came home,
realized she wasn't there?
227
00:10:42,098 --> 00:10:44,932
Abby's clinic is understaffed;
she works long hours.
228
00:10:44,934 --> 00:10:47,434
She told the nanny
to look after her daughter
229
00:10:47,436 --> 00:10:49,103
until I got home.
230
00:10:49,105 --> 00:10:50,271
I got home.
231
00:10:50,273 --> 00:10:51,939
I just...
I went to bed.
232
00:10:51,941 --> 00:10:56,410
Would you describe your marriage
as a happy one?
233
00:10:56,412 --> 00:10:58,212
Lately?
234
00:10:58,214 --> 00:10:59,813
No.
235
00:10:59,815 --> 00:11:01,448
Quite the contrary.
236
00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:03,550
You two weren't
getting along?
237
00:11:03,552 --> 00:11:08,555
Abby and I were more in love
than we ever were.
238
00:11:08,557 --> 00:11:11,892
Our marriage wasn't happy
because she was dying.
239
00:11:11,894 --> 00:11:14,461
She had
pancreatic cancer,
240
00:11:14,463 --> 00:11:16,664
stage IV.
241
00:11:16,666 --> 00:11:18,532
She didn't want anyone to know.
242
00:11:18,534 --> 00:11:21,936
I was giving her chemo,
but the truth is...
243
00:11:21,938 --> 00:11:25,806
(sighs)
there was no hope.
244
00:11:25,808 --> 00:11:29,143
She probably only had
a year to live.
245
00:11:29,145 --> 00:11:31,645
You can ask
my nursing staff.
246
00:11:31,647 --> 00:11:34,982
The people at my clinic,
they'll tell you.
247
00:11:34,984 --> 00:11:38,485
I was doing everything I could
to save Abby's life.
248
00:11:38,487 --> 00:11:40,854
I wouldn't
have killed her.
249
00:11:40,856 --> 00:11:44,858
The cancer was doing that
all by itself.
250
00:11:47,196 --> 00:11:49,997
♪ So fast, I want time to fly,
fun, fun ♪
251
00:11:49,999 --> 00:11:53,033
♪ Think about fun,
you know what it is ♪
252
00:11:53,035 --> 00:11:56,603
♪ I got this, you got this,
my friend is by my right, hey ♪
253
00:11:56,605 --> 00:11:59,340
Sherlock?!
♪ I got this, you got this ♪
254
00:11:59,342 --> 00:12:01,608
♪ Now you know it ♪
255
00:12:01,610 --> 00:12:05,646
♪ Kickin' in the front seat,
sittin' in the backseat ♪
256
00:12:05,648 --> 00:12:07,081
What are you doing?
257
00:12:07,083 --> 00:12:09,383
Hospital's security cameras
had no sound.
258
00:12:09,385 --> 00:12:11,618
So I was providing
a musical score in order
259
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:13,787
to make the tedious comings
and goings of the employees
260
00:12:13,789 --> 00:12:15,189
more engaging.
261
00:12:15,191 --> 00:12:17,458
You chose a ringtone
you knew I would dislike.
262
00:12:17,460 --> 00:12:19,994
So I thought
I would fight fire with fire.
263
00:12:19,996 --> 00:12:22,580
“Friday”? Seriously?
(music stops)
264
00:12:22,581 --> 00:12:25,065
There's also a song that appeals
to me as a detective.
265
00:12:25,067 --> 00:12:28,168
It's a mystery about dogs
and who may have let them out.
266
00:12:28,170 --> 00:12:30,771
So did you find anything?
267
00:12:30,773 --> 00:12:32,272
There's
precious little
268
00:12:32,274 --> 00:12:35,342
on Abby Campbell the night
of her disappearance.
269
00:12:35,344 --> 00:12:36,643
A trip to the cafeteria.
A return
270
00:12:36,645 --> 00:12:38,212
in the general direction
of her workplace.
271
00:12:38,214 --> 00:12:39,413
And then nothing.
272
00:12:39,415 --> 00:12:40,781
These are all
from different days?
273
00:12:40,783 --> 00:12:43,584
I tracked down
all available video of her
274
00:12:43,586 --> 00:12:45,586
in the weeks leading up
to her murder.
275
00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:47,421
I was hoping to isolate
any contentious encounters
276
00:12:47,423 --> 00:12:49,258
she may have had
with her coworkers.
277
00:12:49,282 --> 00:12:50,058
And?
278
00:12:50,059 --> 00:12:51,959
It appears
she was very, very well-liked.
279
00:12:51,961 --> 00:12:53,794
No unpleasantness whatsoever.
280
00:12:53,796 --> 00:12:58,065
There was, however,
some suspicious pleasantness.
281
00:13:01,003 --> 00:13:03,670
They look intimate.
282
00:13:03,672 --> 00:13:06,540
Using hospital employee records,
I was able to identify that man
283
00:13:06,542 --> 00:13:09,476
as Dr. Branford Fisher,
a surgical resident.
284
00:13:09,478 --> 00:13:12,646
Dr. Fisher and Abby have no
professional reason to interact.
285
00:13:12,648 --> 00:13:15,983
Their areas of expertise
have no overlap. I have,
286
00:13:15,985 --> 00:13:19,253
however, observed no less
than 12 meetings between them.
287
00:13:19,255 --> 00:13:22,956
And all in out-of-the-way
corners of the hospital.
288
00:13:22,958 --> 00:13:25,893
That is a disused patient room.
289
00:13:25,895 --> 00:13:29,296
They spend approximately
15 minutes in there together,
290
00:13:29,298 --> 00:13:33,033
and then they emerged
looking rumpled and happy.
291
00:13:33,035 --> 00:13:35,436
Abby was having an affair.
292
00:13:35,438 --> 00:13:37,271
Dr. Fisher
called in sick
293
00:13:37,273 --> 00:13:38,672
the morning
she was reported missing.
294
00:13:38,674 --> 00:13:40,107
I've attempted to contact him,
295
00:13:40,109 --> 00:13:41,375
but he's not answering
his phone.
296
00:13:41,377 --> 00:13:42,743
And the only listed address
for him
297
00:13:42,745 --> 00:13:44,578
is a P.O. box.
298
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:47,448
All rather suspicious.
299
00:13:48,484 --> 00:13:51,251
How went your
meeting with Emily?
300
00:13:51,253 --> 00:13:53,954
Not great, actually.
301
00:13:53,956 --> 00:13:55,689
Can you think of any reason
why the police
302
00:13:55,691 --> 00:13:57,324
would be investigating me?
303
00:14:00,362 --> 00:14:02,796
You said Emily was not
your only friend contacted
304
00:14:02,798 --> 00:14:04,698
by Detective Cortes.
305
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:06,900
Yeah, I got calls
from two other people today.
306
00:14:06,902 --> 00:14:09,203
The detective
asked them
307
00:14:09,205 --> 00:14:10,604
the same kinds of questions.
308
00:14:10,606 --> 00:14:12,106
What kind of person am I,
309
00:14:12,108 --> 00:14:14,241
would I ever break the law.
310
00:14:14,243 --> 00:14:16,410
But she never outright accused
you of anything.
311
00:14:16,412 --> 00:14:19,213
No.
Have you, Watson,
312
00:14:19,215 --> 00:14:21,448
ever committed any burglaries
in Coney Island?
313
00:14:22,818 --> 00:14:24,084
Have to ask.
314
00:14:24,086 --> 00:14:25,285
No, I have not committed
315
00:14:25,287 --> 00:14:26,587
any burglaries in Coney Island.
316
00:14:26,589 --> 00:14:27,955
I can't even remember
the last time
317
00:14:27,957 --> 00:14:29,256
I was in that part of the city.
318
00:14:29,258 --> 00:14:31,792
You have to talk to this woman.
You think?
319
00:14:31,794 --> 00:14:33,460
The timing of her investigation
is unfortunate,
320
00:14:33,462 --> 00:14:35,596
to say the least. We've
only just returned to the NYPD,
321
00:14:35,598 --> 00:14:37,197
so the last thing we need
are rumors
322
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:38,532
that we've engaged
in some kind of thievery.
323
00:14:38,534 --> 00:14:40,801
I will handle it. Okay?
324
00:14:40,803 --> 00:14:43,370
(phone ringing)
325
00:14:44,974 --> 00:14:46,273
Hello?
326
00:14:46,275 --> 00:14:48,775
Mr. Holmes?
This is Nate Campbell.
327
00:14:48,777 --> 00:14:51,778
How'd you get this number,
Dr. Campbell?
328
00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:53,113
I understand
you're looking for a doctor
329
00:14:53,115 --> 00:14:54,648
from Stuyvesant Memorial.
330
00:14:54,650 --> 00:14:56,683
Branford Fisher.
331
00:14:56,685 --> 00:14:58,018
I am.
332
00:14:58,020 --> 00:14:59,520
I can tell you where he is.
333
00:14:59,522 --> 00:15:00,988
But only in person.
334
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:03,190
And you can't bring the police.
335
00:15:03,192 --> 00:15:04,825
(doorbell rings)
336
00:15:04,827 --> 00:15:07,461
(crickets chirping)
337
00:15:08,731 --> 00:15:10,731
We came alone,
as per your request.
338
00:15:10,733 --> 00:15:12,332
But the police are aware
we're here,
339
00:15:12,334 --> 00:15:14,301
on the off chance
you intend to do us harm.
340
00:15:14,303 --> 00:15:17,738
No. Nothing like that.
Please, come in.
341
00:15:22,811 --> 00:15:26,380
So, you told us
you could help us find...
342
00:15:26,382 --> 00:15:27,781
Dr. Fisher.
343
00:15:27,783 --> 00:15:29,116
Someone needs
to tell us
344
00:15:29,118 --> 00:15:31,051
what's going on
right now.
345
00:15:31,053 --> 00:15:32,953
When you left your message,
I got nervous.
346
00:15:32,955 --> 00:15:34,655
I called Nate.
347
00:15:34,657 --> 00:15:37,124
Because...
348
00:15:37,126 --> 00:15:38,358
It's complicated.
349
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,295
Branford never
would have hurt Abby.
350
00:15:41,297 --> 00:15:43,263
Did you know
they were having an affair?
351
00:15:43,265 --> 00:15:45,332
HOLMES: No, it wasn't
an affair, was it?
352
00:15:45,334 --> 00:15:47,234
Dr. Fisher's a size 12.
353
00:15:47,236 --> 00:15:49,603
Dr. Campbell's a size nine.
There's a pair of size 12
354
00:15:49,605 --> 00:15:51,305
running shoes here by the door.
355
00:15:51,307 --> 00:15:52,739
There's also a photograph
of Dr. Fisher receiving
356
00:15:52,741 --> 00:15:55,576
a commendation on the wall.
357
00:15:55,578 --> 00:15:57,077
He lives here.
358
00:15:57,079 --> 00:15:59,580
On the phone,
you said this was your house.
359
00:15:59,582 --> 00:16:02,049
It's their house.
360
00:16:02,051 --> 00:16:03,550
They were both married to Abby.
361
00:16:03,552 --> 00:16:05,219
Or is there another explanation
for your matching
362
00:16:05,221 --> 00:16:06,853
wedding bands?
363
00:16:06,855 --> 00:16:08,855
I think the current slang
for such an arrangement
364
00:16:08,857 --> 00:16:10,324
is a “thruple.”
365
00:16:10,326 --> 00:16:11,992
Three people, one marriage.
366
00:16:11,994 --> 00:16:15,295
You were both married
to Abby at the same time.
367
00:16:15,297 --> 00:16:17,097
We were. But I swear to you,
368
00:16:17,099 --> 00:16:20,867
neither of us killed
our wife.
369
00:16:27,273 --> 00:16:29,821
We had to keep our
marriage secret.
370
00:16:29,921 --> 00:16:31,688
We have a two-year-old
daughter, Chloe.
371
00:16:31,690 --> 00:16:35,225
If we got reported to Family
Services, we could lose her.
372
00:16:35,227 --> 00:16:38,762
Not to mention our careers.
Hospitals don't like scandals.
373
00:16:38,764 --> 00:16:40,697
You all look
very happy together.
374
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:42,665
NATE:
We are.
375
00:16:42,667 --> 00:16:44,033
We were.
376
00:16:44,035 --> 00:16:46,336
We're just... a family.
377
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,505
We're no different
than anyone else.
378
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:50,340
Can you account
for your whereabouts
379
00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:51,574
the night Abby disappeared?
380
00:16:51,576 --> 00:16:53,076
FISHER:
I was in Boston.
381
00:16:53,078 --> 00:16:55,512
My dad's been sick.
I went up to see him.
382
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:57,213
But I also caught up
with some friends.
383
00:16:57,215 --> 00:16:59,616
They'll all tell
you I was there.
384
00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:02,085
If you don't mind me asking,
how did this...
385
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:04,187
arrangement come about?
386
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:06,122
NATE: Branford and
I were, uh,
387
00:17:06,124 --> 00:17:09,325
together first.
But we had an understanding.
388
00:17:09,327 --> 00:17:12,729
Uh, and as I said,
I met Abby at a party.
389
00:17:12,731 --> 00:17:15,198
It grew
from there.
390
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,233
She was okay joining you?
391
00:17:17,235 --> 00:17:19,969
It was her idea, actually.
She'd done it before.
392
00:17:19,971 --> 00:17:22,005
She was in
another group marriage?
393
00:17:22,007 --> 00:17:25,208
Arrangements like ours happen
more often than people think.
394
00:17:25,210 --> 00:17:27,844
For some people,
it just works.
395
00:17:27,846 --> 00:17:29,512
It worked for Abby.
396
00:17:29,514 --> 00:17:31,214
Mostly.
397
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,917
Her last marriage was a bad one?
398
00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:35,485
FISHER:
It ended badly.
399
00:17:35,487 --> 00:17:39,022
She had a falling-out with
one of her fellow wives.
400
00:17:39,024 --> 00:17:41,191
She hinted it
got violent once.
401
00:17:41,193 --> 00:17:43,092
NATE: There was
a dispute.
402
00:17:43,094 --> 00:17:45,061
Over money, community assets.
403
00:17:45,063 --> 00:17:46,329
And she was still fighting it,
404
00:17:46,331 --> 00:17:48,598
years after.
You said
405
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,000
“one of her fellow wives.”
How many people were involved
406
00:17:51,002 --> 00:17:52,602
in her previous marriage?
407
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:55,738
Not counting Abby? Five.
408
00:17:57,275 --> 00:18:00,877
GREGSON: Abby Campbell's exes.
All five of them.
409
00:18:00,879 --> 00:18:02,512
They're still married.
410
00:18:02,514 --> 00:18:06,182
They live in some big house
out in West Essex County.
411
00:18:06,184 --> 00:18:10,520
I had to send five
different cars to get them.
412
00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:12,856
All the suspects
we could hope for.
413
00:18:12,858 --> 00:18:14,624
I don't know how they do it.
414
00:18:14,626 --> 00:18:16,893
I couldn't make a marriage
to one person work.
415
00:18:16,895 --> 00:18:18,228
But Americans
have experimented
416
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:20,463
with every possible variation
of matrimony.
417
00:18:20,465 --> 00:18:23,066
From the adelphic polygyny
of the Omaha tribe
418
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:25,635
to the patriarchal polygamy
of the early Mormons
419
00:18:25,637 --> 00:18:27,570
to the free love hippy communes
of the 1970s.
420
00:18:27,572 --> 00:18:29,205
And while some
of those experiments
421
00:18:29,207 --> 00:18:32,175
were abject failures,
many were remarkably long-lived.
422
00:18:32,177 --> 00:18:34,244
Yeah, well, this
experiment ended badly,
423
00:18:34,246 --> 00:18:36,012
at least for
Abby Campbell.
424
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,982
Maybe bad enough
to get her killed.
425
00:18:38,984 --> 00:18:42,085
They're here,
but they're not happy.
426
00:18:42,087 --> 00:18:43,386
I assume
you've kept them separate
427
00:18:43,388 --> 00:18:45,321
so they can't coordinate
their stories?
428
00:18:45,323 --> 00:18:49,492
Yeah. Like five married people
could ever agree on anything.
429
00:18:51,663 --> 00:18:54,764
Abby was special.
We all loved her.
430
00:18:54,766 --> 00:18:57,133
Everything was great.
The first year or two.
431
00:18:57,135 --> 00:18:59,369
I got nothing to say to you.
432
00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:02,071
EX-WIFE 1: But you have to understand,
Abby was...
433
00:19:02,073 --> 00:19:04,908
stubborn.
434
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:06,409
I'm supposed to be coaching
my daughter's
435
00:19:06,411 --> 00:19:07,810
soccer team this afternoon.
436
00:19:07,812 --> 00:19:09,579
Do I really need
to be here?
437
00:19:09,581 --> 00:19:11,614
It was really all about money.
Abby worked hard.
438
00:19:11,616 --> 00:19:13,249
She wanted to keep
what she earned.
439
00:19:13,251 --> 00:19:16,486
But Denise insisted
we all pool our money.
440
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:18,788
We're registered
as two married couples.
441
00:19:18,790 --> 00:19:20,757
We share a house to save money.
442
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,292
Trish is our nanny.
443
00:19:22,294 --> 00:19:24,127
The nanny?
444
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:26,296
Yeah. Sure.
445
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:27,597
I'm the nanny.
446
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:29,465
EX-HUSBAND 1:
It got a little ugly.
447
00:19:29,467 --> 00:19:32,101
Especially when it came time
to buy the house.
448
00:19:32,103 --> 00:19:35,305
The house thing.
That was when it all went bad.
449
00:19:35,307 --> 00:19:39,709
Abby had this inheritance, and
Denise pressured her to use it
450
00:19:39,711 --> 00:19:41,377
as a down payment. Abby agreed,
451
00:19:41,379 --> 00:19:44,147
but she was never really happy
about it.
452
00:19:44,149 --> 00:19:46,182
We have six kids.
Everybody's got to pitch in.
453
00:19:46,184 --> 00:19:47,183
It doesn't matter
454
00:19:47,185 --> 00:19:49,052
if they have
a job or not.
455
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:50,820
I don't got to talk to you
about any of this.
456
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:52,288
Unless you're charging me
with something.
457
00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:53,656
EX-WIFE 1:
The arguments
458
00:19:53,658 --> 00:19:55,825
just got worse and worse.
459
00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:59,462
And it didn't help that Abby
was so much younger than Denise
460
00:19:59,464 --> 00:20:01,831
and maybe... got a little more
461
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:03,466
attention
when it came to, you know,
462
00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:06,402
sleeping arrangements.
EX-HUSBAND 1: There was
463
00:20:06,404 --> 00:20:07,870
a little pushing and shoving
between her
464
00:20:07,872 --> 00:20:09,772
and Denise toward the end.
465
00:20:09,774 --> 00:20:12,275
EX-WIFE 1: I think that was
the last straw.
466
00:20:12,277 --> 00:20:15,745
The next day,
she just... left.
467
00:20:15,747 --> 00:20:18,414
She'd been trying to get that
down payment back ever since.
468
00:20:18,416 --> 00:20:20,984
But giving it to her would've
meant selling the house.
469
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:23,853
Denise said that was out
of the question.
470
00:20:23,855 --> 00:20:26,489
You want to know what happened,
talk to Denise.
471
00:20:26,491 --> 00:20:27,924
I don't know.
472
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:29,959
That was between her and Denise.
473
00:20:29,961 --> 00:20:33,196
This is harassment,
plain and simple.
474
00:20:33,198 --> 00:20:35,131
And if the NYPD
causes me
475
00:20:35,133 --> 00:20:38,034
or my family any embarrassment,
476
00:20:38,036 --> 00:20:40,536
I will sue this department
in general
477
00:20:40,538 --> 00:20:42,372
and you three in particular.
478
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:44,340
It says here your specialty
is contract law.
479
00:20:44,342 --> 00:20:46,776
Didn't know
you were also a litigator.
480
00:20:46,778 --> 00:20:48,311
A lawyer is a lawyer.
481
00:20:48,313 --> 00:20:50,947
You want to test me,
I'll see you in court.
482
00:20:50,949 --> 00:20:53,216
Look, no one's going to court,
Denise. Not if you want
483
00:20:53,218 --> 00:20:54,751
your private life
to stay private.
484
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:56,386
Now, if you cooperate, you
485
00:20:56,388 --> 00:20:58,888
and your family can go back
home to Essex, no problem.
486
00:20:58,890 --> 00:21:01,424
You make a stink, you're
gonna end up in the press.
487
00:21:01,426 --> 00:21:03,493
GREGSON: Seven years after Abby
left the marriage,
488
00:21:03,495 --> 00:21:06,329
you and her were still fighting
over her share of the house.
489
00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:10,433
She fronted $100,000
for your down.
490
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:12,235
You never paid her back.
491
00:21:12,237 --> 00:21:13,803
Like she needed the money.
492
00:21:13,805 --> 00:21:16,672
She married an oncologist.
He's rolling in it.
493
00:21:18,643 --> 00:21:22,345
Okay, things were bad
494
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:24,747
between Abby and me, but then...
495
00:21:24,749 --> 00:21:26,749
we had lunch a few weeks ago.
496
00:21:26,751 --> 00:21:28,985
We buried the hatchet.
It was her idea.
497
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:32,055
She was diagnosed with cancer
and wanted closure.
498
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:33,623
No loose ends.
499
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:36,492
Here.
500
00:21:36,494 --> 00:21:39,495
She e-mailed me this
501
00:21:39,497 --> 00:21:42,899
after she signed it.
502
00:21:42,901 --> 00:21:44,567
I have
the original at home.
503
00:21:44,569 --> 00:21:47,570
It's a quitclaim giving up
her interest in the house.
504
00:21:47,572 --> 00:21:50,206
So you see,
I had no reason to hurt Abby.
505
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:52,675
Not that I ever would have.
I loved her.
506
00:21:52,677 --> 00:21:54,510
Once.
507
00:21:54,512 --> 00:21:57,747
Now, are we done?
508
00:21:57,749 --> 00:22:00,116
Uh, I'm sorry.
509
00:22:00,118 --> 00:22:04,120
Did-did she want anything in
return for this peace offering?
510
00:22:07,258 --> 00:22:09,926
BELL:
Denise?
511
00:22:09,928 --> 00:22:12,662
Yes, she asked for something,
but I couldn't give it to her.
512
00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:14,664
She wanted me
to draw up
513
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,799
a confidentiality
agreement.
514
00:22:16,801 --> 00:22:20,236
She was trying to sell something
and she wanted a guarantee
515
00:22:20,238 --> 00:22:23,706
that the buyer wouldn't reveal
the nature of the transaction.
516
00:22:23,708 --> 00:22:25,074
What was she selling?
517
00:22:25,076 --> 00:22:26,809
I don't know.
518
00:22:26,811 --> 00:22:30,113
But I got the sense it was
something that she'd stolen.
519
00:22:30,115 --> 00:22:32,782
When I explained to her
that any contract that pertains
520
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:35,384
to illegal activity
is null and void...
521
00:22:35,386 --> 00:22:37,019
she dropped it.
522
00:22:37,021 --> 00:22:39,455
But I don't know.
523
00:22:39,457 --> 00:22:41,591
Whatever she took,
524
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:44,060
maybe it was worth killing over.
525
00:22:54,939 --> 00:22:57,773
Detective Cortes.
Joan Watson.
526
00:22:57,775 --> 00:23:00,109
But I'm guessing you
knew that already.
527
00:23:00,111 --> 00:23:01,878
How can I help you, Ms. Watson?
528
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,746
Actually, I was wondering
if I could help you.
529
00:23:03,748 --> 00:23:05,214
You've been asking
questions about me.
530
00:23:05,216 --> 00:23:06,816
I thought we could sit
down, talk face-to-face,
531
00:23:06,818 --> 00:23:08,751
clear up any
misunderstanding.
532
00:23:08,753 --> 00:23:11,554
That's very thoughtful of you,
but now's not a good time.
533
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:12,889
When would be
a good time?
534
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:14,957
I don't know.
535
00:23:14,959 --> 00:23:17,894
But when I'm ready to talk
to you, I'll find you. Trust me.
536
00:23:17,896 --> 00:23:21,063
Can you at least tell me
what you think I did?
537
00:23:21,065 --> 00:23:22,965
I never said
you did anything.
538
00:23:22,967 --> 00:23:25,001
Are you planning to talk
to more people I know?
539
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:27,603
Does that make you
uncomfortable?
540
00:23:27,605 --> 00:23:30,673
Having someone poke around
in your life, ask questions?
541
00:23:30,675 --> 00:23:34,810
It's not like you have
anything to hide, right?
542
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:41,017
(door opens)
543
00:23:41,019 --> 00:23:43,286
Just gonna
text you.
544
00:23:43,288 --> 00:23:44,754
Still a free woman,
I see.
545
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:46,722
May I assume you've
cleared up any confusion
546
00:23:46,724 --> 00:23:48,324
with Detective Cortes?
547
00:23:48,326 --> 00:23:50,059
No, you may not.
548
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:52,862
I caught her as she was leaving
her precinct. I told her
549
00:23:52,864 --> 00:23:55,131
I would be happy to answer
any questions she might have.
550
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:56,365
She said she didn't have any.
551
00:23:56,367 --> 00:23:58,067
So I asked her, “Can
you at least tell me
552
00:23:58,069 --> 00:24:00,636
what crime I'm supposed to have
committed?” She said no.
553
00:24:00,638 --> 00:24:02,038
Well, it's not unusual
for a police detective
554
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,906
to be cagey with a suspect.
555
00:24:03,908 --> 00:24:05,575
Well that's the thing--
I don't think I'm a suspect.
556
00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:07,343
I think it's personal.
She's messing with me.
557
00:24:07,345 --> 00:24:08,744
You said before yesterday
you'd never even
558
00:24:08,746 --> 00:24:10,279
heard of Detective Cortes.
559
00:24:10,281 --> 00:24:11,881
Mm, I hadn't.
560
00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:13,382
Perhaps at some point you slept
with one of her lovers.
561
00:24:13,384 --> 00:24:15,484
Well, considering
she's gay and I'm not,
562
00:24:15,486 --> 00:24:16,886
I think that's highly unlikely.
563
00:24:16,888 --> 00:24:19,121
Ah, so you've been
looking into her.
564
00:24:19,123 --> 00:24:21,591
What choice do I have? She won't
tell me what her problem is,
565
00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:24,060
so I have to find out myself.
566
00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:25,294
What is all this?
567
00:24:25,296 --> 00:24:26,996
Inventory forms,
personnel records
568
00:24:26,998 --> 00:24:29,165
and security reports
from Stuyvesant Memorial.
569
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:30,499
One of Abby Campbell's
ex-spouses
570
00:24:30,501 --> 00:24:31,901
seems to think she was trying
571
00:24:31,903 --> 00:24:34,136
to sell something
that she had stolen.
572
00:24:34,138 --> 00:24:36,872
Whatever it was, you're thinking
it came from the hospital.
573
00:24:36,874 --> 00:24:39,108
She would have had access
to any number of valuable items.
574
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:41,110
Drugs. They are, of course,
the most common target
575
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:42,712
for medical larceny.
576
00:24:42,714 --> 00:24:44,680
But all of the hospital's
inventories add up.
577
00:24:44,682 --> 00:24:47,283
Nothing is missing
from any of the pharmacies.
578
00:24:47,285 --> 00:24:49,452
All of the equipment in Abby's
lab is also accounted for,
579
00:24:49,454 --> 00:24:50,753
except for some
inexpensive items
580
00:24:50,755 --> 00:24:52,021
like test tubes and beakers.
581
00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:53,889
Glassware goes missing
all the time.
582
00:24:53,891 --> 00:24:56,459
Interns and nurses use them
as tumblers and shot glasses.
583
00:24:56,461 --> 00:24:58,828
I noticed the suture scissors
in your sewing kit.
584
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:00,296
Anyway,
it occurred to me
585
00:25:00,298 --> 00:25:02,131
there was something else
she could have taken.
586
00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:03,833
Something she would have
had ready access to
587
00:25:03,835 --> 00:25:05,868
as an employee
of the fertility clinic.
588
00:25:05,870 --> 00:25:08,938
Something that is in
extremely high demand.
589
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:10,973
Viable human embryos.
590
00:25:10,975 --> 00:25:12,441
Would've been
a simple matter to pilfer
591
00:25:12,443 --> 00:25:15,611
excess blastocysts
intended for disposal.
592
00:25:15,613 --> 00:25:16,879
A single fertilized egg
can go for
593
00:25:16,881 --> 00:25:18,948
up to $10,000
on the open market.
594
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:21,817
I don't think Abby's eggs would
have made it to the open market.
595
00:25:21,819 --> 00:25:23,686
If she was looking
for a motivated buyer,
596
00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:25,354
she needn't
have looked any further
597
00:25:25,356 --> 00:25:28,057
than her own social circle.
598
00:25:29,494 --> 00:25:31,060
Dr. Amrit.
599
00:25:31,062 --> 00:25:33,329
Sherlock Holmes.
This is Joan Watson.
600
00:25:33,331 --> 00:25:35,598
We work with
the New York police department.
601
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,167
You went to college
with Abby Campbell,
602
00:25:38,169 --> 00:25:40,069
did you not?
Uh, excuse me?
603
00:25:40,071 --> 00:25:42,338
The two of you remained friends
until her...
604
00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:44,874
her recent demise.
Posted your condolences
605
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:46,509
just this morning
on social media.
606
00:25:46,511 --> 00:25:48,444
So?
607
00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:50,513
You use embryonic stem cells
in your research, right?
608
00:25:50,515 --> 00:25:53,215
Abby reposted an article
you wrote a few months ago.
609
00:25:53,217 --> 00:25:55,251
In it, you argue that
researchers should have
610
00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:57,653
unfettered access
to embryos that are destroyed
611
00:25:57,655 --> 00:25:59,955
by IVF clinics in the course
of their work.
612
00:25:59,957 --> 00:26:03,292
Embryonic stem cell research
is the most promising path
613
00:26:03,294 --> 00:26:06,662
to finding a cure for diabetes
and other metabolic diseases.
614
00:26:06,664 --> 00:26:09,398
But why that would be
of interest to the police, uh...
615
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,967
Must be frustrating when
politicians pander to their base
616
00:26:11,969 --> 00:26:14,437
by making it difficult
to obtain suitable cells.
617
00:26:14,439 --> 00:26:16,405
Enough to purchase
618
00:26:16,407 --> 00:26:18,474
excess embryos from Abby.
619
00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:20,776
I have papers
to grade.
620
00:26:20,778 --> 00:26:22,778
It is, of course,
illegal to obtain embryos
621
00:26:22,780 --> 00:26:25,281
without the consent
of the potential parent
622
00:26:25,283 --> 00:26:27,383
that provided
that genetic material.
623
00:26:27,385 --> 00:26:29,385
We can get a warrant.
If the DNA of the cells
624
00:26:29,387 --> 00:26:31,587
from your lab match the patients
from Abby's clinic,
625
00:26:31,589 --> 00:26:32,855
then that's a federal crime.
626
00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:35,725
I'm trying to save lives.
627
00:26:35,727 --> 00:26:39,195
Diabetes is a plague. It kills
over four million people a year.
628
00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:42,231
How many embryos did you agree
to buy from Abby? A few dozen?
629
00:26:42,233 --> 00:26:44,967
That would have cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
630
00:26:44,969 --> 00:26:47,136
As far as we know,
you never paid her a dime.
631
00:26:47,138 --> 00:26:48,838
Did you kill your old friend
632
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,539
so that you wouldn't
have to compensate her?
633
00:26:50,541 --> 00:26:53,642
I didn't hurt Abby.
634
00:26:53,644 --> 00:26:55,544
And she didn't want money.
635
00:26:55,546 --> 00:26:57,046
It was a trade.
636
00:26:57,048 --> 00:26:58,514
A trade for what?
637
00:26:58,516 --> 00:27:02,251
She came to me asking
for access to my lab.
638
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:03,719
She wanted to run
some blood tests
639
00:27:03,721 --> 00:27:05,187
after hours and
off the record.
640
00:27:05,189 --> 00:27:08,090
I asked for the embryos
in return.
641
00:27:08,092 --> 00:27:10,359
They would have just
been thrown away.
642
00:27:10,361 --> 00:27:11,408
Wasted.
643
00:27:11,432 --> 00:27:12,996
What was she
testing the blood for?
644
00:27:12,997 --> 00:27:14,463
She wouldn't tell me.
645
00:27:14,465 --> 00:27:17,166
She would have used
computerized equipment.
646
00:27:17,168 --> 00:27:19,802
There might be records of her
tests on their hard drives.
647
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:22,204
Do you mind if we have a look?
No.
648
00:27:22,206 --> 00:27:24,273
I do not.
I just don't
649
00:27:24,275 --> 00:27:26,242
think you're going to find much.
650
00:27:26,244 --> 00:27:30,579
I thought it was some religious
fanatic opposed to my research.
651
00:27:30,581 --> 00:27:34,083
I get threatening letters
and e-mails-- very nasty.
652
00:27:34,085 --> 00:27:36,685
But then I heard
about Abby, and...
653
00:27:36,687 --> 00:27:39,093
now I'm not so sure.
654
00:27:40,501 --> 00:27:43,535
A blood chemistry analyzer.
655
00:27:43,537 --> 00:27:45,420
The flow cytometer.
656
00:27:45,422 --> 00:27:47,456
Everything she might have
used to test blood.
657
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:49,124
Whatever she was
doing here,
658
00:27:49,126 --> 00:27:52,127
someone wanted to
keep it a secret.
659
00:27:57,670 --> 00:28:00,579
So Abby Campbell runs
some hush-hush blood tests.
660
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:02,579
Someone isn't happy
about that.
661
00:28:03,145 --> 00:28:05,145
He or she kills her,
662
00:28:05,147 --> 00:28:08,248
takes her apart,
and then the next night
663
00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:12,152
goes to the lab she used
and destroys all of her data.
664
00:28:12,154 --> 00:28:14,888
Whoever set the fires
didn't just burn those machines.
665
00:28:14,890 --> 00:28:17,123
The hard drives were
pulled out and destroyed.
666
00:28:17,125 --> 00:28:19,192
Any idea what
the blood tests were for?
667
00:28:19,194 --> 00:28:21,328
One theory is that Abby
suspected a colleague
668
00:28:21,330 --> 00:28:23,463
of shenanigans and was
seeking confirmation.
669
00:28:23,465 --> 00:28:24,667
Shenanigans?
670
00:28:24,691 --> 00:28:25,833
You remember the
fertility doctor
671
00:28:25,834 --> 00:28:28,268
in California who used
his own sperm to fertilize
672
00:28:28,270 --> 00:28:30,136
hundreds of eggs
without informing the mothers?
673
00:28:30,138 --> 00:28:31,504
It's possible
someone
674
00:28:31,506 --> 00:28:33,340
in Abby's lab
was doing the same.
675
00:28:33,342 --> 00:28:35,775
It would explain why she wanted
access to Dr. Amrit's lab.
676
00:28:35,777 --> 00:28:37,277
She may have been running
paternity tests.
677
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:40,347
So that's one theory.
There any more?
678
00:28:40,349 --> 00:28:41,748
Not at present.
679
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:43,917
But another may be
just a warrant away.
680
00:28:43,919 --> 00:28:45,852
It's possible that there's
a trace of Abby's research
681
00:28:45,854 --> 00:28:47,554
that her killer missed.
682
00:28:47,556 --> 00:28:50,457
The biological waste produced
by university labs is set aside
683
00:28:50,459 --> 00:28:52,425
in locked bins
for special processing.
684
00:28:52,427 --> 00:28:54,227
The waste is collected
three times a week.
685
00:28:54,229 --> 00:28:57,364
There was a pickup the night
before the lab was destroyed.
686
00:28:57,366 --> 00:28:59,699
So if Abby dumped
her test materials
687
00:28:59,701 --> 00:29:03,036
in one of those locked bins...
688
00:29:03,038 --> 00:29:05,138
The disposal company
might still have some.
689
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:06,439
I'll get an ADA
690
00:29:06,441 --> 00:29:08,808
to get you a warrant.
691
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,314
Sort of a cliché, huh?
692
00:29:14,316 --> 00:29:16,449
Cop who actually hangs
out in a doughnut shop?
693
00:29:16,451 --> 00:29:18,351
Who told you I was here?
694
00:29:18,353 --> 00:29:21,388
I am not at liberty to say,
but I know why you've been
695
00:29:21,390 --> 00:29:24,891
harassing me. Before you
moved to Burglary, you were
696
00:29:24,893 --> 00:29:26,693
in the Bronx under Ann Vescey.
697
00:29:26,695 --> 00:29:29,796
Rumor has it she promised to
transfer you to Major Crimes
698
00:29:29,798 --> 00:29:32,832
when she was tapped to take
over for Captain Gregson.
699
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:34,868
That would have been
a big step up for you.
700
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:36,436
Only she didn't
take over for Gregson,
701
00:29:36,438 --> 00:29:37,904
because he didn't leave.
702
00:29:37,906 --> 00:29:39,673
You blame me for that.
703
00:29:39,675 --> 00:29:42,142
Obviously, you found out that
I was looking into Vescey.
704
00:29:42,144 --> 00:29:44,244
You think I torpedoed her.
705
00:29:44,246 --> 00:29:46,246
What is that?
706
00:29:46,248 --> 00:29:48,181
Everything I gave
Captain Gregson. Read it.
707
00:29:48,183 --> 00:29:50,750
You'll see that I found
Vescey was clean.
708
00:29:50,752 --> 00:29:54,521
The captain decided not to step
aside because he was not ready.
709
00:29:54,523 --> 00:29:56,790
Not because of
anything I said.
710
00:29:56,792 --> 00:29:58,925
It's heavy.
711
00:29:58,927 --> 00:30:01,094
You put a lot of work into this.
712
00:30:02,964 --> 00:30:04,564
I don't care
713
00:30:04,566 --> 00:30:06,700
what you did or didn't
find out about Ann.
714
00:30:06,702 --> 00:30:09,302
What I care about
is that you looked at all.
715
00:30:09,304 --> 00:30:10,837
You're not a cop.
716
00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:13,606
You're a citizen
with delusions of grandeur.
717
00:30:13,608 --> 00:30:16,576
Cops-- real cops--
we have enough people
718
00:30:16,578 --> 00:30:18,078
looking over our shoulders.
719
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,680
Politicians,
the press, the brass,
720
00:30:20,682 --> 00:30:23,783
IAB. They second-guess us
all day long.
721
00:30:23,785 --> 00:30:26,920
But, hey, that's
what they're there for.
722
00:30:26,922 --> 00:30:29,389
Who are you
to look into us?
723
00:30:29,391 --> 00:30:31,858
I take it you've never
used a consultant before?
724
00:30:31,860 --> 00:30:33,159
No,
725
00:30:33,161 --> 00:30:34,861
I've never used a consultant.
726
00:30:34,863 --> 00:30:37,130
Real cops do the job themselves.
727
00:30:37,132 --> 00:30:38,631
That's how it works.
728
00:30:38,633 --> 00:30:41,134
You don't belong.
729
00:30:41,136 --> 00:30:42,902
I don't know
what to tell you, Detective.
730
00:30:42,904 --> 00:30:44,571
I'm not going anywhere.
731
00:30:46,441 --> 00:30:48,441
But you were.
732
00:30:48,443 --> 00:30:50,110
You and your partner.
733
00:30:50,112 --> 00:30:52,045
And now
you're both back.
734
00:30:52,047 --> 00:30:53,480
That's weird, right?
735
00:30:53,482 --> 00:30:55,281
I just caught
a new case last night.
736
00:30:55,283 --> 00:30:57,550
It's gonna keep me busy
for a while, but after that,
737
00:30:57,552 --> 00:31:00,787
I don't know.
Maybe I'll circle back around.
738
00:31:00,789 --> 00:31:02,989
See what else I can find.
739
00:31:14,903 --> 00:31:18,004
All that came from
Dr. Amrit's lab?
740
00:31:18,006 --> 00:31:21,574
It seems the medical waste
for the entire university
741
00:31:21,576 --> 00:31:23,076
was labeled identically.
742
00:31:23,078 --> 00:31:25,445
A team is being assembled
to sort through it,
743
00:31:25,447 --> 00:31:28,414
but I thought you and I could
get the ball rolling.
744
00:31:28,416 --> 00:31:29,916
Okay, but...
745
00:31:29,918 --> 00:31:32,352
Gloves, goggles, mask,
right behind you there.
746
00:31:32,354 --> 00:31:34,020
You can apprise me
of your meeting
747
00:31:34,022 --> 00:31:37,157
with your stalker
as we sort.
748
00:31:37,159 --> 00:31:39,359
Mm.
749
00:31:42,330 --> 00:31:44,156
WATSON:
I think she may be insane.
750
00:31:44,157 --> 00:31:45,307
Because she doesn't like you?
751
00:31:45,331 --> 00:31:47,168
Because she's fixating on me.
752
00:31:47,169 --> 00:31:49,235
In her defense, you were
investigating her friend
753
00:31:49,237 --> 00:31:51,237
and you are a mere citizen.
754
00:31:51,239 --> 00:31:53,006
So are you.
755
00:31:53,008 --> 00:31:55,809
But I'm quite accustomed
to people not liking me.
756
00:31:55,811 --> 00:31:58,411
Okay, so what if she continues
to look into me, into us,
757
00:31:58,413 --> 00:32:00,580
and figures out that your father
pulled some strings
758
00:32:00,582 --> 00:32:02,115
to get us back into the 11th?
759
00:32:02,117 --> 00:32:03,550
As I see it,
760
00:32:03,552 --> 00:32:05,418
the crux of the matter
is that Detective Cortes
761
00:32:05,420 --> 00:32:07,453
sees you as an outsider
and not a peer.
762
00:32:07,455 --> 00:32:10,690
If you were a cop, you would
have what is called a “beef”.
763
00:32:10,692 --> 00:32:13,226
And a beef can be settled
and what you have cannot be.
764
00:32:13,228 --> 00:32:15,962
Because I'm a consultant.
Precisely.
765
00:32:15,964 --> 00:32:19,399
So I-I just take it, I just
let her keep bullying me?
766
00:32:20,902 --> 00:32:23,837
As I said before,
she does not see you as a peer,
767
00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:25,538
so force her to.
768
00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:28,441
You remember the disagreement
that Detectives Grell and Luntz
769
00:32:28,443 --> 00:32:30,610
had last year?
Yeah.
770
00:32:30,612 --> 00:32:32,278
It festered for months,
then it was resolved.
771
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,514
Do you recall
how it was resolved?
772
00:32:36,084 --> 00:32:37,317
You're not serious.
773
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:38,818
I have reason to believe
Detective Cortes
774
00:32:38,820 --> 00:32:40,453
would be amenable to the idea.
775
00:32:41,456 --> 00:32:43,256
(sighs)
776
00:32:43,258 --> 00:32:44,958
Six plastic vials,
each containing
777
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,493
blood residue, and each one...
778
00:32:47,495 --> 00:32:49,529
with Abby Campbell's handwriting
on the labels.
779
00:32:49,531 --> 00:32:52,232
Looks like she was thorough.
780
00:32:52,234 --> 00:32:56,135
Test subjects are identified
781
00:32:56,137 --> 00:32:59,772
by initials, plus dates
and times of collection.
782
00:32:59,774 --> 00:33:01,774
These samples were gathered
on three consecutive Thursdays
783
00:33:01,776 --> 00:33:04,110
between the hours
of 9:00 and 10:00 p.m.
784
00:33:04,112 --> 00:33:05,545
Does that mean something to you?
785
00:33:05,547 --> 00:33:07,146
Memorizing a murder victim's
calendar
786
00:33:07,148 --> 00:33:08,748
is a matter of course.
787
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:11,417
I know where she was
at these times,
788
00:33:11,419 --> 00:33:15,221
so I know who to talk to
about the work she was doing.
789
00:33:15,223 --> 00:33:17,323
WOMAN:
Support groups
790
00:33:17,325 --> 00:33:20,193
can be very helpful
for cancer patients.
791
00:33:20,195 --> 00:33:23,096
They're going through
so many things
792
00:33:23,098 --> 00:33:26,199
that only their
peers can understand.
793
00:33:26,201 --> 00:33:28,268
And Abby Campbell had been
attending your group
794
00:33:28,270 --> 00:33:29,702
for three months?
795
00:33:29,704 --> 00:33:32,839
Ever since her diagnosis.
796
00:33:32,841 --> 00:33:34,307
We have reason to believe
797
00:33:34,309 --> 00:33:36,542
that she was collecting blood
during these meetings.
798
00:33:36,544 --> 00:33:39,312
May we assume it was
from her fellow group members?
799
00:33:41,216 --> 00:33:44,017
Ms. Russof, this is a
murder investigation.
800
00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:48,621
A few weeks ago,
Abby made a pitch to the group.
801
00:33:48,623 --> 00:33:50,623
She said she had a friend
802
00:33:50,625 --> 00:33:53,192
who was doing
advanced cancer research.
803
00:33:53,194 --> 00:33:55,461
It was supposed
to be promising.
804
00:33:55,463 --> 00:33:57,697
Maybe even a cure.
805
00:33:57,699 --> 00:33:59,999
She said she could get people
into the study.
806
00:34:00,001 --> 00:34:02,168
She just needed blood samples
807
00:34:02,170 --> 00:34:04,504
to test for
suitability.
808
00:34:04,506 --> 00:34:06,506
Sounds like
you had your doubts.
809
00:34:06,508 --> 00:34:11,511
People are always touting
miracle cures for cancer.
810
00:34:11,513 --> 00:34:14,914
You can probably guess
how many pan out.
811
00:34:14,916 --> 00:34:17,550
I wasn't the only one
who was skeptical.
812
00:34:17,552 --> 00:34:20,586
The husband of one of the group
members came to a meeting,
813
00:34:20,588 --> 00:34:22,355
and he accused Abby
814
00:34:22,357 --> 00:34:24,824
of being a con
artist. He said
815
00:34:24,826 --> 00:34:26,893
that if she didn't
leave his wife alone,
816
00:34:26,895 --> 00:34:29,302
she would be sorry.
817
00:34:29,303 --> 00:34:31,031
Can you give us
this person's name?
818
00:34:31,055 --> 00:34:32,833
Kirk.
819
00:34:32,834 --> 00:34:35,268
Kirk Abramovitch.
820
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:36,903
Yeah, I threatened
Abby Campbell.
821
00:34:36,905 --> 00:34:39,005
No, I didn't turn her
into a skeleton.
822
00:34:39,007 --> 00:34:41,708
You make it sound absurd,
Mr. Abramovitch.
823
00:34:41,710 --> 00:34:43,376
But on your social
media page,
824
00:34:43,378 --> 00:34:45,078
I've seen pictures
of you pitching in
825
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,546
at your father's
butcher shop.
826
00:34:46,548 --> 00:34:49,115
I got to think knowing
how to work a deli slicer
827
00:34:49,117 --> 00:34:51,250
and deboning a person
are two very different things.
828
00:34:51,252 --> 00:34:53,419
WOMAN:
That night at therapy,
829
00:34:53,421 --> 00:34:54,821
Kirk only yelled
at Abby because
830
00:34:54,823 --> 00:34:56,689
he thought she was
trying to scam me.
831
00:34:56,691 --> 00:34:57,887
He just wanted
her to back off.
832
00:34:57,911 --> 00:34:59,626
I've seen
her type before.
833
00:34:59,627 --> 00:35:02,028
Kirk's mother died of colon
cancer in the late '90s.
834
00:35:02,030 --> 00:35:04,964
KIRK: She got suckered
by every snake oil salesman
835
00:35:04,966 --> 00:35:06,366
that crossed her path.
836
00:35:06,368 --> 00:35:10,269
She tried light therapy,
magnets, special diets,
837
00:35:10,271 --> 00:35:11,904
shark cartilage.
838
00:35:11,906 --> 00:35:14,741
She ended up taking out
a second mortgage on her house
839
00:35:14,743 --> 00:35:17,143
to pay for some fancy clinic
down in Mexico.
840
00:35:17,145 --> 00:35:18,511
All for nothing.
841
00:35:18,513 --> 00:35:20,079
WOMAN: I didn't think
there was any harm
842
00:35:20,081 --> 00:35:22,348
in looking into the
study Abby told us about,
843
00:35:22,350 --> 00:35:24,817
but, the truth is,
I didn't need it.
844
00:35:24,819 --> 00:35:26,252
My chemo's working.
845
00:35:26,254 --> 00:35:27,687
Dr. Campbell says
846
00:35:27,689 --> 00:35:29,155
I'm doing really well.
847
00:35:29,157 --> 00:35:31,391
Dr. Campbell,
as in Nate Campbell?
848
00:35:31,393 --> 00:35:32,792
So,
849
00:35:32,794 --> 00:35:35,595
Abby's husband is
your oncologist?
850
00:35:35,597 --> 00:35:37,830
That's why I agreed
to give Abby my blood--
851
00:35:37,832 --> 00:35:39,432
because she was his wife.
852
00:35:39,434 --> 00:35:42,268
I thought she must know
what she's talking about.
853
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,003
(baby crying over monitor)
854
00:35:44,005 --> 00:35:46,439
Oh, that's our
son. Can I
855
00:35:46,441 --> 00:35:48,307
go get him?
856
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,013
(footsteps approaching)
857
00:35:54,015 --> 00:35:55,782
(knocking)
858
00:35:55,784 --> 00:35:57,450
Oh, hey.
859
00:35:57,452 --> 00:35:59,552
Hi. Oh, he's beautiful.
860
00:35:59,554 --> 00:36:01,748
A hundred percentile
in height and weight.
861
00:36:01,772 --> 00:36:02,256
Ah.
862
00:36:02,257 --> 00:36:03,856
He's gonna be
a big guy.
863
00:36:03,858 --> 00:36:06,125
Oh, just like his daddy.
(laughing): Yeah, right?
864
00:36:06,127 --> 00:36:08,094
Hmm.
865
00:36:08,096 --> 00:36:10,496
Do you mind me asking what kind
of cancer you have?
866
00:36:10,498 --> 00:36:13,166
Spinal plasmacytoma.
867
00:36:13,168 --> 00:36:15,301
I had some back pain,
there was a lump.
868
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:16,869
Dr. Campbell prescribed chemo.
869
00:36:16,871 --> 00:36:19,405
And where is the tumor located?
870
00:36:19,407 --> 00:36:21,107
On my L4.
871
00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:24,811
I used to be a surgeon.
Do you mind if a take a look?
872
00:36:24,813 --> 00:36:26,679
Okay. Okay.
873
00:36:26,681 --> 00:36:29,482
I'm gonna put you down
for a second, sweetie.
874
00:36:29,484 --> 00:36:32,318
Right here.
875
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,087
Right here.
876
00:36:34,089 --> 00:36:37,190
Okay, if you could just
stand straight for me.
877
00:36:40,795 --> 00:36:42,962
Okay, so, on a scale
of one to ten--
878
00:36:42,964 --> 00:36:46,232
ten being the worst--
um, how does this feel?
879
00:36:46,234 --> 00:36:48,201
A little uncomfortable.
Maybe a two.
880
00:36:48,203 --> 00:36:50,403
Mm.
(baby jumping)
881
00:36:50,405 --> 00:36:53,139
And are you taking
anything for the pain?
882
00:36:53,141 --> 00:36:54,674
Uh, just naproxen.
883
00:36:54,676 --> 00:36:56,209
Yeah.
884
00:36:56,211 --> 00:36:58,444
Is the discomfort worse
at night?
885
00:36:58,446 --> 00:37:01,414
A little bit,
but the medicine helps.
886
00:37:01,416 --> 00:37:04,517
Well, for what it's worth,
I think Dr. Campbell's right.
887
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:07,420
You should make
a full recovery.
888
00:37:08,456 --> 00:37:10,823
In case you were
wondering, Watson,
889
00:37:10,825 --> 00:37:13,226
Mr. Abramovitch does
not have an alibi
890
00:37:13,228 --> 00:37:15,094
for the night of
Abby Campbell's murder.
891
00:37:15,096 --> 00:37:17,864
I don't think he did it.
Neither do I.
892
00:37:17,866 --> 00:37:20,600
But that's because I stayed for
the duration of his interview,
893
00:37:20,602 --> 00:37:22,802
and I saw no indication
that he was lying.
894
00:37:22,804 --> 00:37:25,204
Why do you think
he's innocent?
895
00:37:25,206 --> 00:37:27,640
Because I'm pretty sure
I know who did kill Abby.
896
00:37:27,642 --> 00:37:29,208
You do?
897
00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:30,676
It all made sense
once I realized
898
00:37:30,678 --> 00:37:33,412
Sadie Abramovitch
doesn't have cancer.
899
00:37:39,958 --> 00:37:42,297
This is Sadie
Abramovitch before chemo.
900
00:37:42,397 --> 00:37:44,097
Do you recognize her?
Of course.
901
00:37:44,833 --> 00:37:46,666
It says here
that you're treating her
902
00:37:46,668 --> 00:37:48,001
for spinal plasmacytoma.
903
00:37:48,003 --> 00:37:50,537
The tumor is located
on her L4 vertebra.
904
00:37:50,539 --> 00:37:52,639
That sounds right.
905
00:37:52,641 --> 00:37:54,074
She's doing quite well.
906
00:37:54,076 --> 00:37:56,142
We're hoping
for a complete remission.
907
00:37:56,144 --> 00:37:57,711
You should know
908
00:37:57,713 --> 00:37:59,346
that when we visited
Mrs. Abramovitch,
909
00:37:59,348 --> 00:38:01,047
my colleague noted
several inconsistencies
910
00:38:01,049 --> 00:38:03,817
with her diagnosis.
Spinal plasmacytoma
911
00:38:03,819 --> 00:38:06,686
causes microfractures
in the affected vertebrae.
912
00:38:06,688 --> 00:38:08,622
Most patients can barely walk.
913
00:38:08,624 --> 00:38:11,324
Sadie can move around just fine,
sit, stand, walk.
914
00:38:11,326 --> 00:38:13,226
Lift her baby.
No issues.
915
00:38:13,228 --> 00:38:15,328
We diagnosed Sadie
very early on,
916
00:38:15,330 --> 00:38:17,297
so, the microfractures
917
00:38:17,299 --> 00:38:19,399
didn't have time
to fully develop.
918
00:38:19,401 --> 00:38:21,935
Hmm. And you never
removed the tumor?
919
00:38:21,937 --> 00:38:23,737
No. Too much nerve involvement.
920
00:38:23,739 --> 00:38:26,139
WATSON:
That makes sense.
921
00:38:26,141 --> 00:38:28,108
Except when I pressed
directly on her L4,
922
00:38:28,110 --> 00:38:30,076
instead of a sharp pain,
923
00:38:30,078 --> 00:38:31,978
she only felt a dull ache.
924
00:38:31,980 --> 00:38:33,947
And her discomfort gets worse
at night,
925
00:38:33,949 --> 00:38:37,951
which is a classic symptom
of a benign osteoid osteoma.
926
00:38:37,953 --> 00:38:40,320
I stand by my diagnosis.
927
00:38:40,322 --> 00:38:41,655
MAN:
Excuse me,
928
00:38:41,657 --> 00:38:43,056
but my client agreed
to this interview
929
00:38:43,058 --> 00:38:44,424
in order to help you
930
00:38:44,426 --> 00:38:45,892
find his wife's killer.
931
00:38:45,894 --> 00:38:48,128
Now, I fail to see
how a possible misdiagnosis
932
00:38:48,130 --> 00:38:50,263
of one his patients has
933
00:38:50,265 --> 00:38:53,700
any relevance.
One misdiagnosis would not.
934
00:38:55,470 --> 00:38:57,170
Several dozen,
however,
935
00:38:57,172 --> 00:38:59,906
tell an entirely
different story.
936
00:38:59,908 --> 00:39:02,642
BELL: After we got a warrant for
your files the other day,
937
00:39:02,644 --> 00:39:05,145
we asked all your patients
to get follow-up exams.
938
00:39:05,147 --> 00:39:07,113
Of those who agreed
to be tested,
939
00:39:07,115 --> 00:39:09,582
almost a third didn't
have cancer at all.
940
00:39:09,584 --> 00:39:11,518
HOLMES: You've been
misdiagnosing patients,
941
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,219
and you've been
subjecting them
942
00:39:13,221 --> 00:39:16,856
to unnecessary chemotherapy,
probably for years,
943
00:39:16,858 --> 00:39:20,026
to-- I don't know--
bolster your profits,
944
00:39:20,028 --> 00:39:21,895
inflate your remission rates?
945
00:39:21,897 --> 00:39:24,731
And no one suspected you.
946
00:39:24,733 --> 00:39:27,467
Until your own wife got cancer.
947
00:39:27,469 --> 00:39:29,069
We figure Abby noticed
something fishy
948
00:39:29,071 --> 00:39:31,137
when she was getting
chemo at your clinic.
949
00:39:31,139 --> 00:39:32,639
Patients like Sadie,
950
00:39:32,641 --> 00:39:34,307
whose symptoms didn't
match their diagnoses.
951
00:39:34,309 --> 00:39:37,043
But she wanted proof,
so she ran tests.
952
00:39:37,045 --> 00:39:38,845
HOLMES:
Her mistake
953
00:39:38,847 --> 00:39:40,580
was confronting you
with the evidence
954
00:39:40,582 --> 00:39:42,749
of your misdeeds
before going to the authorities.
955
00:39:42,751 --> 00:39:45,919
Perhaps she thought you'd be
able to explain yourself.
956
00:39:45,921 --> 00:39:49,222
But instead, you strangled her.
957
00:39:49,224 --> 00:39:51,491
Do I need to point out,
this is all supposition?
958
00:39:51,493 --> 00:39:53,460
Nah, it's more
than that.
959
00:39:53,462 --> 00:39:55,962
We had a talk with
your clinic manager.
960
00:39:55,964 --> 00:40:00,200
She rolled, confirmed
the false diagnoses,
961
00:40:00,202 --> 00:40:01,668
the fraud,
the whole thing.
962
00:40:01,670 --> 00:40:03,236
She also recanted
your alibi.
963
00:40:03,238 --> 00:40:05,505
In fact, the last
time she saw you
964
00:40:05,507 --> 00:40:07,607
the night that
Abby disappeared,
965
00:40:07,609 --> 00:40:09,476
you were headed
to the research wing
966
00:40:09,478 --> 00:40:12,145
right after a heated
phone call with Abby.
967
00:40:15,684 --> 00:40:18,051
I told her...
968
00:40:18,053 --> 00:40:21,654
that everything I did was
for the good of the family.
969
00:40:21,656 --> 00:40:23,990
Nate?
No, no, no. I'll...
970
00:40:26,094 --> 00:40:27,694
I'll tell you everything,
971
00:40:27,696 --> 00:40:30,397
but you need to let me talk
to Branford.
972
00:40:31,867 --> 00:40:35,235
I need to tell him I'm sorry.
973
00:40:36,204 --> 00:40:38,471
I'll see what
I can do.
974
00:40:44,012 --> 00:40:46,679
Good combination.
975
00:40:47,816 --> 00:40:50,216
(sighs)
976
00:40:50,218 --> 00:40:52,285
Third time you've approached me.
977
00:40:52,287 --> 00:40:54,788
If you're smart,
there won't be a fourth.
978
00:40:54,790 --> 00:40:57,824
Actually, a fourth time is what
I wanted to talk to you about.
979
00:40:57,826 --> 00:41:00,693
The NYPD Boxing Club is having
a match in a few weeks.
980
00:41:00,695 --> 00:41:03,196
I thought maybe we could
raise some money for charity.
981
00:41:03,198 --> 00:41:05,198
You want to fight me?
982
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,333
That's how it
done, right?
983
00:41:07,335 --> 00:41:08,868
When two cops have a
problem with each other
984
00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:10,303
and they can't resolve it?
985
00:41:10,305 --> 00:41:12,806
Yeah, the only problem is,
you're not a cop.
986
00:41:12,808 --> 00:41:14,808
And that would be
bad for you, right?
987
00:41:14,810 --> 00:41:17,577
Getting your ass
kicked by a consultant?
988
00:41:17,579 --> 00:41:19,412
(laughs)
989
00:41:19,414 --> 00:41:22,081
If you want to fight me
so bad, why wait?
990
00:41:22,083 --> 00:41:23,683
There's a ring right there.
991
00:41:23,685 --> 00:41:28,721
Yeah, I thought that's
what you might say.
992
00:41:28,723 --> 00:41:30,957
All right.
993
00:41:39,868 --> 00:41:42,335
HOLMES: Keep them submerged
as long as you can.
994
00:41:42,337 --> 00:41:44,571
I know how to treat
sore knuckles.
995
00:41:44,573 --> 00:41:46,873
This needs more flour.
You just like
996
00:41:46,875 --> 00:41:48,341
the parallel.
997
00:41:48,343 --> 00:41:49,976
Primitive aftercare
for a primitive sport.
998
00:41:49,978 --> 00:41:53,546
While this might look primitive,
999
00:41:53,548 --> 00:41:56,749
I assure you, this is the result
1000
00:41:56,751 --> 00:41:58,518
of years
of painstaking research.
1001
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,520
It's a poultice
of comfrey leaves and flour
1002
00:42:00,522 --> 00:42:03,389
with a dash of mountain arnica
and a sprinkling of marigold.
1003
00:42:03,391 --> 00:42:04,791
I highly recommend it.
1004
00:42:04,793 --> 00:42:06,593
Unless, of course,
you want your eye
1005
00:42:06,595 --> 00:42:08,228
to blacken as a badge of honor.
1006
00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:10,797
I just want to put
this whole thing behind me.
1007
00:42:10,799 --> 00:42:12,966
And does Detective Cortes feel
the same way?
1008
00:42:12,968 --> 00:42:14,367
Oh, I guess we'll see.
1009
00:42:14,369 --> 00:42:16,002
At the very least,
1010
00:42:16,004 --> 00:42:19,072
this has proven the wisdom
of continuously training
1011
00:42:19,074 --> 00:42:21,007
in the combat arts.
1012
00:42:21,009 --> 00:42:23,309
You do, of course, need
to work on your defense.
1013
00:42:23,311 --> 00:42:25,578
You allowed Cortes to
land far too many punches.
1014
00:42:25,580 --> 00:42:27,213
I did.
1015
00:42:27,215 --> 00:42:31,010
But all that matters is
that I landed the last one.
