it must be filled only with the things

00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,094
This, uh, friend that you're meeting,
169
00:09:30,269 --> 00:09:32,760
when was the last time
you slept with him?
170
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:36,039
It's quite obvious it's a he
and an ex-lover.
171
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:38,870
You go out of your way to avoid gender
every time you talk about him
172
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:40,910
and avert your gaze
every time you say "friend."
173
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,048
As to how I know
it's not a current lover,
174
00:09:43,215 --> 00:09:45,649
- your walk speaks volumes.
- My walk?

Study in Belgium showed that
a woman's recent orgasmic history
176
00:09:48,554 --> 00:09:52,547
can be discerned from her gait.
Yours would indicate it's been a while.

That's true. DA's keeping you busy?

An alcoholic, addict, both?

Oh, my God, my parents.
Tell me they didn't reach out to you.

You're not returning their calls.

00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:53,383
Yeah, I don't need a lecture
every time I speak to them, so...

They're confused, Joan.
You used to be a surgeon.

I know how much it hurt
when you lost that patient,

but if you're doing all this
as some kind of penance...
199
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:05,662
I am doing this
because I'm actually good at it.
200
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:09,997
I don't know why that's so hard
to understand.

report came in a little while ago.

some of the particulars.

I thought there was only one particular,
the gunshot wound to the head.

Victim also suffered from
endothelial corneal dystrophy.

Oh, that's a gray clouding
of the cornea.

I was talking to him the other night,

why you didn't tell him
220

where you were
the last six months.
221
00:12:22,441 --> 00:12:24,909
He said you called him from Heathrow
ten days ago

00:12:25,077 --> 00:12:27,739

you were in rehab still in New York.

Okay, you're not under...

Telling him would be a violation of our

I am not going to tell him anything,
obviously.

you have to a friend. That's all.

that was generated last night.

The one the neighbor saw leaving
Casey McManus' apartment?

BELL: Yeah. How fast can you get
to St. Isidora Hospital on East 93rd?

one of these?

I'm getting to that.
First I'm gonna tell you how I got here.
242
00:13:22,701 --> 00:13:24,692
I was about to put the sketch
out wide last night

when one of my old Uni buddies
said sketch girl looked familiar.

and the name got me to a photograph.

Yvette Ellison, dark hair, mid-30s.
246
00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:37,615
I slipped the picture into a photo array
for the neighbor,
247
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:39,273
and he picked it out right away.
248

"There was no doubt about it."

This was the girl he saw
on the stairs last night.

where she is, detective,

- I'm gonna show you.

I'm going to stab it into the softest part
of Ms. Ellison's thigh.

Lots of nerve endings there. No one
can fake their way through that.

If you wanted to know if she was really
in a coma, all you had to do was ask.

That's okay, but I can't stab her
in the thigh?

When the patient's hand is released
directly above the face,
276
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:16,073
it should strike the face
on the way down.

00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:18,580
Easy to fake.

Yeah, well, respiration
and pupillary response aren't,

on the inside cover said,

"To Yvette and Rebecca

Casey McManus' neighbor

00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:30,952
didn't see Yvette last night,
but her sister?
300

I daresay you're getting the hang
of deductive reasoning, Watson.

in the direction of Rebecca Ellison?

You're still thinking about the case.
311
00:17:18,604 --> 00:17:21,767
Obviously Yvette Ellison
didn't kill Casey McManus,
312
00:17:21,940 --> 00:17:24,272
but given that his neighbor picked her
out of a photo array,
313
00:17:24,443 --> 00:17:27,071
stands to reason that the real killer
bears a striking resemblance.
314
00:17:27,246 --> 00:17:30,943
The question is, who is she
and what did she have against Casey?
315
00:17:32,217 --> 00:17:34,151
Well, is it possible
that Detective Bell was right
316
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:37,755
and that the neighbor was lying
about seeing the woman on the stairs?
317
00:17:39,425 --> 00:17:41,916
Hey, I found something
in the hall closet the other day.

Was it the zipper mask? I swear,
I'm just holding that for a friend.

It's a trophy from an old case.
Forgot I still had it. Feel free to bin it.

Uh, I know it's yours
because it has "S. Holmes"

- So I used to play. What of it?

00:17:58,644 --> 00:18:02,136
Well, I just thought it might be a nice
addition to your post-rehab regimen.
323
00:18:02,347 --> 00:18:04,281
Playing an instrument
can relieve a lot of stress.
324
00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:06,213
You think I'm stressed?
325
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:10,219
I think you have a lot on your plate
326
00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:14,348
and you're not going easy on yourself
with all this work with the police.
327
00:18:14,526 --> 00:18:17,256
I don't play anymore. Attic theory.
328
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:19,397
Playing took up space in my brain,
so I stopped.

Looks like the same gun

Well, given Casey McManus' neighbor
has been in custody since last night,

when I'm wrong.

Actually, captain,
the link is quite discernible.

that they were half-siblings.

For what it's worth,
382
00:20:52,985 --> 00:20:55,613
the genetic traits here suggest
that the parent they had in common
383
00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:59,018
- was the father.
- Yeah, our ME said the same thing.
384
00:20:59,191 --> 00:21:01,682
But according to interviews
with the friends and family members,
385
00:21:01,860 --> 00:21:03,919
neither knew the other one existed.
386
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:06,724
Casey McManus' mom had him
out of wedlock.

Think maybe he was the one
who killed them?

No, I still think the killer's a woman.
395
00:21:23,782 --> 00:21:26,751
But identifying Dad might get us
closer to identifying her.

Surely the victims' mothers
can help on that front.

Um, can't talk about it.
428
00:22:52,771 --> 00:22:54,898
It has to do with a case
for one of my firm's clients.
429
00:22:55,073 --> 00:22:56,438
It's protected by privilege.
430
00:22:56,641 --> 00:23:00,202
- Mike, this girl got killed last night.
MIKE: I know.
431
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:01,971
I saw it on the news. I think it stinks.
432
00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:05,514
And she seemed like a good kid,
but you know how it is, rules are rules.
433

- Mike, who are you talking to?
- Excuse me. Sorry, could you just...?

The fact that your carotid has started

Casey McManus and Anna Webster.
457
00:24:41,179 --> 00:24:44,376
You hired your lawyers to investigate
them several months ago. Why?
458
00:24:45,383 --> 00:24:48,614
Because you discovered that Casey
and Anna were your half-siblings.
459
00:24:49,187 --> 00:24:50,211
Your father Charles,
460
00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:53,050
as successful a businessman
as he was potent a philanderer,
461
00:24:53,225 --> 00:24:55,352
sired them out of wedlock
decades ago.
462
00:24:55,527 --> 00:24:56,824
Paid their mothers to keep quiet.
463
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:59,259
He told you and Yvette
of their existence on his deathbed.
464
00:24:59,431 --> 00:25:03,299
Now they're both dead. Coincidence?
I suspect not.
465
00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:07,027
What are you talking about?
What do you mean, they're both dead?
466
00:25:07,205 --> 00:25:09,503
What he means, Ms. Ellison,
is that you don't have to worry
467
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,665
about them coming
after your money anymore.
468
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:14,311
We know that Charles left his fortune
to you and Yvette,
469
00:25:14,479 --> 00:25:16,208
but he failed to include
language in his will
470
00:25:16,381 --> 00:25:19,475
that would exclude his bastard children
from laying claim to their share of it.
471
00:25:19,651 --> 00:25:23,143
That made them pretermitted heirs
in the eyes of the law,
472
00:25:23,321 --> 00:25:26,051
which meant that if they ever
discovered their father's true identity,
473
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:28,886
they'd have been able to sue
for a piece of his considerable estate,
474
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:31,153
potentially reducing you
and your sister's inheritance
475
00:25:31,329 --> 00:25:33,263
by as much as two-thirds.
476
00:25:33,431 --> 00:25:35,524
That's why you hired your lawyers
to investigate them,
477
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:38,168
and that's why
I believe you killed them.
478
00:25:38,336 --> 00:25:39,769
I didn't kill anyone.
479
00:25:39,938 --> 00:25:42,236
Can you account for your whereabouts
the last two nights
480
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:44,739
between the hours
of 8 p.m. And 10 p. M?
481
00:25:44,910 --> 00:25:49,313
- I was at home. I was alone.
- That means no.
482
00:25:50,415 --> 00:25:52,440
Maybe it's time we took this back
to the precinct.
483
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,048
No. No.
484
00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:04,361
Look, you're right about my dad.
485
00:26:04,529 --> 00:26:07,589
He did tell me and my sister about
Casey and Anna right before he died.
486
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:11,600
And, yes, we knew they could lay claim
to at least part of the estate.
487
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:15,001
It was very difficult for us.
We were very angry with him.
488
00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:17,733
We couldn't believe he would
keep something like that from us,
489
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:19,934
but he was very sick, and we...
490
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,315
After he died, we went back and forth
about what we should do.
491
00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:27,542
Neither of us wanted to have
to keep his secret,
492
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:31,780
but to give tens of millions of dollars
to two virtual strangers
493
00:26:31,957 --> 00:26:33,652
seemed insane.
494
00:26:33,858 --> 00:26:35,587
That's why we reached out
to his attorneys.
495
00:26:36,394 --> 00:26:37,986
We wanted them to look
into Casey and Anna
496
00:26:38,163 --> 00:26:39,994
so we could have all
the facts at our disposal.
497
00:26:40,165 --> 00:26:42,656
Where they lived, perhaps,
how one might get into their homes.
498
00:26:42,867 --> 00:26:44,300
No, nothing like that.
499
00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:47,802
We just wanted to know
what kind of people they were.
500
00:26:47,973 --> 00:26:50,806
But then before we could make
any sort of decision,
501
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:53,501
Yvette went into a tailspin.
502
00:26:53,678 --> 00:26:57,307
She started seeing a married man,
started drinking.
503
00:26:57,482 --> 00:27:00,007
And then she tried to kill herself.
504
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:01,345
The suicide attempt, right,
505
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:04,920
because I'm starting to wonder
if that's what that really was.
506
00:27:05,090 --> 00:27:07,456
I have to assume that
with Yvette out of the way,
507
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:10,925
you stood to inherit the Ellison fortune
in its entirety.
508
00:27:11,096 --> 00:27:13,291
It wouldn't surprise me to learn
that you found some way
509
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:15,626
to compel her to take those pills.
510
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:19,501
I would never hurt my sister.
511
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:23,635
Ms. Ellison, if you'll come with us.
512
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:25,673
HOLMES:
Just one thing.
513
00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:29,609
Why disguise yourself as Yvette
to commit the murders?
514
00:27:29,781 --> 00:27:33,512
A witness saw you at the first scene,
but he described your sister to a T.
515
00:27:33,685 --> 00:27:35,915
You're a fraternal twin,
but with a wig, bit of a makeup,
516
00:27:36,087 --> 00:27:37,679
you bear more than
a passing resemblance.
517
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:39,346
The question is,
why would you want to?
518
00:27:39,524 --> 00:27:42,789
What was the point of trying to frame
a woman in a coma?
519
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:46,158
You even put on her deodorant.
Master stroke, when you think about it.
520
00:27:46,831 --> 00:27:47,991
You're insane.
521
00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:04,170
- She really got you, huh?
- Lefty. Caught me by surprise.
522
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:08,376
This one, leathery from slaps.
This one, baby's bottom.
523
00:28:16,227 --> 00:28:17,717
Ty, what the hell are you doing here?
524
00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:19,591
What do you mean,
what am I doing here?
525
00:28:19,764 --> 00:28:21,493
Dinner, remember? You said 6.
526
00:28:21,666 --> 00:28:23,827
I didn't say anything.
How did you even find this place?
527
00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:26,596
Your e-mail, said your friend
was having a party, I should come.
528
00:28:26,771 --> 00:28:29,865
Ty! Such a pleasure.
Joan's told me so little about you.
529
00:28:30,041 --> 00:28:32,202
- You hacked my e-mail?
- "Hack" is such an ugly word.
530
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:35,369
- Joan, what's going on?
- What does it look like? It's a soiree.
531
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:38,948
Not sure about this, though.
Bit of a party foul. Unless...
532
00:28:39,117 --> 00:28:41,585
- You know what? This was a mistake.
- I don't understand.
533
00:28:41,753 --> 00:28:44,051
- Who is that guy?
- He's my...
534
00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:47,247
He's my friend and he's a prankster,
535
00:28:47,425 --> 00:28:49,450
and he brought you here
to mess with me. So...
536
00:28:49,627 --> 00:28:51,595
- He's your boyfriend.
- No!
537
00:28:51,763 --> 00:28:53,287
Wow, not even close.
538
00:28:53,498 --> 00:28:56,092
You know what? I am so sorry.
I'm gonna call you tomorrow, okay?
539
00:28:56,267 --> 00:28:58,235
I backed out of drinks
with the DA for this.
540
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:01,099
Tell your friend he's lucky
I didn't slug him.
541
00:29:03,808 --> 00:29:05,799
[MUTTERS]
If you ever do, swing from the left.
542
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:08,911
Where's he going?
Was it something I said?
543
00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:12,382
Invading my privacy, not okay.
544
00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:15,075
Said the walking, talking
professional invasion of privacy.
545
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:18,450
I am here to work with you.
I thought you understood that by now.
546
00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:21,091
You said we were supposed to
be learning more about each other.
547
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:23,090
That's how companionship works,
is it not?
548
00:29:23,261 --> 00:29:25,229
Is this because of the violin
yesterday?
549
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:27,728
Because I think you made your point
when you set it on fire!
550
00:29:27,899 --> 00:29:29,867
I haven't made my point
unless you've absorbed it.
551
00:29:30,034 --> 00:29:32,332
Friendship is not a requirement
of cohabitation.
552
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:34,334
I'll keep my secrets, you keep yours.
553
00:29:34,539 --> 00:29:38,532
Provided I'm still sober in five weeks,
we'll go our separate ways, hmm?
554
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:40,701
[PHONE RINGING]
555
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:43,971
- Holmes.
GREGSON: It's Captain Gregson.
556
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:46,845
Just thought you should know
we're letting Rebecca Ellison go.
557
00:29:47,018 --> 00:29:48,315
What?
558
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:52,354
GREGSON: Searches of her home
and business didn't turn up anything
559
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:56,118
and security cameras at her apartment
confirm she was there
560
00:29:56,294 --> 00:29:58,387
at the time of each murder
just like she said she was.
561
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:02,863
She enters before 7 both nights and
doesn't leave until the next morning.
562
00:30:03,501 --> 00:30:06,470
She didn't kill Casey McManus
or Anna Webster.
563
00:30:12,577 --> 00:30:16,707
You guys know being up here
is a big step.
564
00:30:16,881 --> 00:30:18,940
Part of me is afraid of talking
about my addiction...
565
00:30:19,117 --> 00:30:21,108
I cannot believe that with everything
we have to do,
566
00:30:21,286 --> 00:30:23,720
you have dragged me
to another addict festival.
567
00:30:23,888 --> 00:30:26,618
We have nowhere else to be
for the next 45 minutes
568
00:30:26,791 --> 00:30:28,190
but here at this meeting.
569
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:30,054
She tricked them.
570
00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:32,196
I don't know how yet,
but she tricked them.
571
00:30:32,363 --> 00:30:33,955
Rebecca Ellison.
572
00:30:34,132 --> 00:30:38,330
I still think she's the one that murdered
Casey McManus and Anna Webster.
573
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:43,038
What? Would you rather
I put myself in another trance?
574
00:30:43,208 --> 00:30:45,335
I already thought of that.
575
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:47,375
Got it off the board over there.
576
00:30:47,545 --> 00:30:48,876
You even think about zoning out,
577
00:30:49,047 --> 00:30:50,844
it goes into the softest part
of your thigh.
578
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:54,811
- Lots of nerve endings there.
- You wouldn't dare.
579
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,112
MAN:
Who'd like to go next?
580
00:31:01,693 --> 00:31:03,752
My name is Elaine and I'm an addict.
581
00:31:03,928 --> 00:31:05,725
GROUP:
Hi, Elaine.
582
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:10,425
I am exactly 360 days sober.
583
00:31:10,635 --> 00:31:13,195
Five more,
and I hit my one-year mark.
584
00:31:13,371 --> 00:31:14,929
I know I should be proud.
585
00:31:15,139 --> 00:31:17,437
I know I should be excited,
but I can't be.
586
00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:22,774
Because I'm not the only one
whose life was ruined by my addiction.
587
00:31:23,648 --> 00:31:26,913
- My drug was difficult to find...
- I'm playing the violin again.
588
00:31:27,085 --> 00:31:30,384
The world's smallest.
I thought you'd be happy.
589
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:32,887
ELAINE:
But eventually, they catch on to you.
590
00:31:33,424 --> 00:31:37,224
Which is why I decided to latch on
to a doctor instead.
591
00:31:39,097 --> 00:31:42,760
I met this great guy, Steven, a GP,
592
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:46,435
and I acted like
I was all into him, you know?
593
00:31:46,604 --> 00:31:50,438
He was married.
He had three beautiful daughters.
594
00:31:50,608 --> 00:31:51,973
But I didn't care about that.
595
00:31:52,176 --> 00:31:55,475
All I cared about was me
and what I needed.
596
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:57,615
When we were together,
I didn't even see him.
597
00:31:57,782 --> 00:31:59,306
All I saw were the drugs.
598
00:32:00,752 --> 00:32:04,688
And eventually his wife found out
and called the police,
599
00:32:05,723 --> 00:32:07,714
and even though I was the one
who started it all,
600
00:32:07,892 --> 00:32:09,951
he was the one who went to jail.
601
00:32:10,461 --> 00:32:16,058
You see, he had taken an oath.
He promised to do no harm.
602
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,133
But what about the harm
I did to him?
603
00:32:20,471 --> 00:32:22,336
- We have to leave.
- What?
604
00:32:22,941 --> 00:32:25,102
You're required by your father
to attend these meetings.
605
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:27,176
I had a breakthrough
regarding the investigation.
606
00:32:27,345 --> 00:32:29,245
You want me to sit
and tell stories like a child.
607
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:31,609
I know you'd say anything
to get out of these meetings.
608
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:33,546
If you think these meetings matter,
then fine,
609
00:32:33,718 --> 00:32:37,313
tomorrow I'll go to two, or ten,
but right now I have a killer to stop.
610
00:32:37,488 --> 00:32:39,547
- Tell me what your breakthrough is.
- What?
611
00:32:39,724 --> 00:32:41,487
You had some sort of breakthrough.
What is it?
612
00:32:41,659 --> 00:32:42,683
There isn't time for this!
613
00:32:42,860 --> 00:32:44,987
We need to find out where
Rebecca Ellison is right now.
614
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:47,757
You said earlier we don't
need to be friends, and you're right.
615
00:32:47,932 --> 00:32:49,297
But we do need to trust each other.
616
00:32:49,467 --> 00:32:51,628
Tell me what's going on
and I will try and help you.
617
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:54,863
Don't, and I will
be the opposite of help.
618
00:32:55,773 --> 00:32:59,334
"For I consider brains far superior
to money in every way.
619
00:32:59,510 --> 00:33:01,239
You may have noticed that
if one has money..."
620
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:02,436
Murderer!
621
00:33:03,147 --> 00:33:05,809
You may have fooled the police.
You didn't fool me.
622
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,475
I know you're the one who killed
Casey McManus and Anna Webster.
623
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:10,780
Get out right now. Nurse!
624
00:33:10,955 --> 00:33:12,855
The surveillance cameras
in your building.
625
00:33:13,024 --> 00:33:15,219
The ones that support
your so-called "alibi."
626
00:33:15,393 --> 00:33:16,587
You tampered with them somehow.
627
00:33:16,761 --> 00:33:18,626
DOCTOR: What's going on?
HOLMES: I'm on to you.
628
00:33:18,796 --> 00:33:20,491
Matter of fact, I'm way ahead of you.
629
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:23,395
I know all about
the third pretermitted heir.
630
00:33:23,568 --> 00:33:25,593
- What?
- Daddy's third bastard.
631
00:33:25,770 --> 00:33:26,794
I figured out who she is.
632
00:33:26,971 --> 00:33:30,839
Mary Margaret Phelps,
80-33 West Tremont, Morris Heights.
633
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:32,135
Don't pretend you don't know.
634
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:34,574
- You're not that good an actress.
- Holmes, back away.
635
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:37,579
When I couldn't talk you out of coming,
I texted him.
636
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:39,740
Yes, that's right. The opposite of help.
Thank you.
637
00:33:39,917 --> 00:33:42,147
You know what? It doesn't matter,
because as of tonight,
638
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,016
Mary Margaret has her own
personal bodyguard. Me.
639
00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:48,681
I'll be watching her 24/7,
and I won't let you anywhere near her.
640
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:50,657
- That's enough.
HOLMES: Get off!
641
00:33:51,929 --> 00:33:55,262
Okay, that's it. Come on.
642
00:33:55,433 --> 00:33:57,697
You just assaulted a police officer,
643
00:33:57,869 --> 00:34:02,101
which means you get
to spend the night in jail. Let's go.
644
00:34:02,306 --> 00:34:05,173
HOLMES: You haven't seen the last
of me, Ms. Ellison. Not by a long shot.
645
00:34:05,343 --> 00:34:07,504
- I will not let you hurt the heir!
BELL: Excuse me.
646
00:34:07,678 --> 00:34:09,873
Do you understand me?
I will not let you hurt her!
647
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:11,572
BELL:
Let's go.
648
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:31,459
GREGSON:
Put the gun down, Ms. Ellison.
649
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:38,931
Or do you prefer Yvette?
650
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:42,629
REBECCA: I don't understand.
She was in a coma.
651
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:45,935
- Now she's fine?
- It wasn't a regular coma.
652
00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:48,670
It was medically induced
by her doctor.
653
00:35:48,846 --> 00:35:52,475
He put her in and brought her out
as needed.
654
00:35:53,117 --> 00:35:56,382
To kill Casey and Anna.
I don't understand. Why would he...?
655
00:35:56,554 --> 00:35:59,785
Because he was the married man
with whom she was having an affair.
656
00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:02,292
Obviously she never introduced you.
657
00:36:03,027 --> 00:36:05,257
Because he was also part of her plan
to protect her money
658
00:36:05,429 --> 00:36:07,420
from her father's
illegitimate children.
659
00:36:09,033 --> 00:36:10,193
When I met him the other day,
660
00:36:10,368 --> 00:36:13,030
I noticed a pale stripe of skin
on his finger.
661
00:36:13,204 --> 00:36:15,672
Clearly he'd recently stopped wearing
his wedding band.
662
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,808
Didn't think anything of it
in the moment,
663
00:36:17,975 --> 00:36:22,344
but then at a, um, gathering
I attended this evening,
664
00:36:22,513 --> 00:36:25,243
I heard the story of a woman
who seduced her doctor
665
00:36:25,449 --> 00:36:28,976
to take advantage
of his medical expertise.
666
00:36:29,153 --> 00:36:32,589
And it got me thinking about you
and your sister's predicament.
667
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:37,186
Two heiresses learn
of the existence of two half-siblings
668
00:36:37,361 --> 00:36:42,424
days before they're set to receive
their rather massive inheritance.
669
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,559
One has a big heart, the other... Hmm.
670
00:36:46,771 --> 00:36:50,730
Big heart wants to share.
Get to know these people.
671
00:36:50,908 --> 00:36:54,071
Welcome them as family and
share with them her many blessings.
672
00:36:54,245 --> 00:36:56,736
Little heart would rather
see them dead.
673
00:36:57,415 --> 00:37:01,215
Problem is she knows
that only she and one other person,
674
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:03,717
her sister, have motive to kill them.
675
00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:05,947
She also knows that this motive,
in time,
676
00:37:06,123 --> 00:37:09,092
could easily be traced back to her.
677
00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:11,228
So, what does she do?
678
00:37:11,395 --> 00:37:14,262
She finds herself an alibi
that is beyond reproach.
679
00:37:14,432 --> 00:37:17,595
She enlists the help of someone
with the knowledge and the expertise
680
00:37:18,202 --> 00:37:21,228
to not only help her stage
a suicide attempt,
681
00:37:21,405 --> 00:37:23,464
but ease her into a coma.
682
00:37:23,641 --> 00:37:26,075
Yvette's doctor was arrested
a little while ago.
683
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:29,372
He confessed to giving her
barbiturates to keep her unconscious
684
00:37:29,547 --> 00:37:31,139
to trick the machines
that monitored her.
685
00:37:31,315 --> 00:37:34,250
Also anyone who would want to
examine her when he wasn't around.
686
00:37:35,786 --> 00:37:37,981
It wasn't a perfect plan, of course.
687
00:37:38,155 --> 00:37:41,215
Between the drugs and the atrophied
muscles, she was quite weak.
688
00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:44,953
That's why she was seated
when she shot Casey and Anna.
689
00:37:45,129 --> 00:37:48,064
Because, in the moment,
it was too difficult to stand.
690
00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:53,435
I never told you that I wanted to share
the money and Yvette didn't.
691
00:37:53,604 --> 00:37:54,798
How did you know?
692
00:37:54,972 --> 00:37:57,304
Why else would she go
to these lengths?
693
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:03,078
And what about the third heir? The one
whose house Yvette broke into.
694
00:38:03,247 --> 00:38:06,182
- Is she okay?
- She's fine.
695
00:38:06,350 --> 00:38:09,410
In that she never existed.
I made her up.
696
00:38:09,587 --> 00:38:12,078
What you saw in the hospital,
none of it was real.
697
00:38:12,256 --> 00:38:13,621
It was a trap.
698
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:16,760
I made a commotion to draw
Yvette's doctor in.
699
00:38:16,927 --> 00:38:18,827
I announced the name
and address of the heir.
700
00:38:18,996 --> 00:38:22,762
Mary Margaret Phelps, 80-33
West Tremont, so that he'd have them.
701
00:38:22,933 --> 00:38:27,336
I then "assaulted" Detective Bell
so the good doctor would think that I,
702
00:38:27,505 --> 00:38:29,496
the only apparent threat to his
and Yvette's plan,
703
00:38:29,674 --> 00:38:33,940
was in jail for the night, allowing them
a very crucial window of opportunity.
704
00:38:34,111 --> 00:38:35,976
And they took it.
705
00:38:36,681 --> 00:38:39,616
Because even though neither of them
had even heard
706
00:38:39,784 --> 00:38:42,844
of the third heir before tonight,
they couldn't take any chances.
707
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:45,284
As for the woman Yvette trailed
to her home,
708
00:38:45,456 --> 00:38:49,790
she's an officer here at the precinct.
709
00:38:53,097 --> 00:38:55,657
I have to contact our attorneys.
710
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:58,860
I need to see if they can help her.
711
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:03,538
I know what she did is unforgivable,
but she is still my sister.
712
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:07,007
There were only
two pretermitted heirs, Ms. Ellison.
713
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:08,736
Yvette killed
the second one yesterday.
714
00:39:08,913 --> 00:39:12,314
So tell me,
why was she still in a coma today?
715
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:16,214
Why didn't she miraculously wake up
this morning?
716
00:39:16,387 --> 00:39:18,981
Who did she have left to kill?
717
00:39:20,224 --> 00:39:21,714
Do you think, perhaps,
it was someone
718
00:39:21,892 --> 00:39:26,488
who stood between her
and the entirety of the family fortune?
719
00:39:32,336 --> 00:39:35,703
You mind that big heart, Ms. Ellison.
720
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,433
It'll beat longer.

GREGSON:
You taking off?
722
00:39:46,016 --> 00:39:48,041
- Case is closed, is it not?
GREGSON: It is.
723
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,915
Which is why you should come
join us for drinks in a bit.
724
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:53,921
- Bell here is buying.
- I'm under orders.
725
00:39:54,592 --> 00:39:57,652
That said, I appreciate
the help you gave us.
726
00:39:59,797 --> 00:40:03,096
So, what do you say?
Drinks in about an hour?
727
00:40:04,101 --> 00:40:07,798
- Another time, perhaps.
- All right.
728
00:40:13,177 --> 00:40:15,668
More malodorous takeout.
How wonderful.
729
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,649
- What is this, five nights in a row?
- It's Mediterranean.
730
00:40:19,817 --> 00:40:21,045
I hope you like garlic.
731
00:40:21,218 --> 00:40:24,312
You'd think that with what my father
is paying you, you'd learn to cook.

00:40:30,127 --> 00:40:31,651
- What?
- You want to talk about

what happened
in the support meeting tonight?
735
00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:36,723
- Something happened?
- You listened.
736
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:39,893
You let someone else's natterings
penetrate that attic you call a skull
737
00:40:40,070 --> 00:40:42,300
and it helped you catch a killer.
738
00:40:42,473 --> 00:40:46,068
You want a thank-you?
Fine. Thank you.
739
00:40:49,246 --> 00:40:51,214
Do you close yourself off to people
740
00:40:51,382 --> 00:40:54,977
and deny yourself things
that might bring you pleasure
741
00:40:55,152 --> 00:40:58,451
not because it makes you
a better investigator,
742
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:00,590
but because it's some sort
of penance?
743
00:41:00,758 --> 00:41:02,350
Penance?
744
00:41:02,526 --> 00:41:04,926
For what happened in London.
Being addicted.
745
00:41:07,631 --> 00:41:09,861
I guess it just occurred to me
that it might be something
746
00:41:10,034 --> 00:41:11,729
that someone might do
and not even know it.
747
00:41:13,771 --> 00:41:16,535
Well, you always know it, Watson.
748
00:41:17,341 --> 00:41:21,243
If you didn't, it wouldn't be penance.
