Hey, all I did was give you
some fresh eyes.
3
00:00:10,457 --> 00:00:11,878
Ms. Watson.
4
00:00:11,879 --> 00:00:13,587
I didn't know you and Holmes
were stopping by.
5
00:00:13,588 --> 00:00:15,121
He's not here, just me.
6
00:00:15,123 --> 00:00:16,589
Everything okay?
7
00:00:16,591 --> 00:00:19,225
Uh, could we talk privately?
8
00:00:19,227 --> 00:00:21,260
I haven't heard from him
in over three hours.
9
00:00:21,262 --> 00:00:22,662
He's not responding to texts,
10
00:00:22,664 --> 00:00:24,430
he's not answering his phone.
11
00:00:24,432 --> 00:00:27,500
All due respect, but you know
your boss is a weirdo, right?
12
00:00:27,502 --> 00:00:31,037
He's probably out trying
to find Jimmy Hoffa
13
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:32,738
in some, uh, subway tunnel.
14
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:35,041
You don't understand.
We have an arrangement.
15
00:00:35,043 --> 00:00:36,876
We're not supposed to be apart
for more than two hours,
16
00:00:36,878 --> 00:00:38,711
and he's never
supposed to be unreachable.
17
00:00:38,713 --> 00:00:41,080
I know you two are pretty close
for an assistant and a boss,
18
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:42,632
but how is that even possible?
19
00:00:42,634 --> 00:00:44,283
You both have to sleep, right?
20
00:00:44,285 --> 00:00:46,552
I'm... not his assistant.
21
00:00:46,554 --> 00:00:49,121
I... okay, the only reason
we are together all the time
22
00:00:49,123 --> 00:00:51,023
is because I live at his place.
23
00:00:51,025 --> 00:00:53,759
Okay.
24
00:00:53,761 --> 00:00:57,463
Don't know why you guys couldn't
have just told me that,
25
00:00:57,465 --> 00:00:58,931
but... fine.
26
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:00,399
Okay, it's not like that.
27
00:01:00,401 --> 00:01:02,869
It's... we're not
together together.
28
00:01:02,871 --> 00:01:05,071
Okay, what is it like?

I-I can't say, I'm sorry.
32
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:12,678
Well, Ms. Watson, if you
want me to help you,
33
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,114
you're gonna have to tell me
what the story is, all right?
34
00:01:24,091 --> 00:01:25,591
I'm a sober companion.
35
00:01:25,593 --> 00:01:27,426
I work with recovering
drug addicts.

00:01:27,428 --> 00:01:28,978
Sherlock is my client.
37
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,013
His father hired me
to help him stay clean.
38
00:01:31,015 --> 00:01:32,815
The only reason
I am telling you this
39
00:01:32,817 --> 00:01:34,617
is because I think
he may have relapsed.
40
00:01:34,619 --> 00:01:36,819
I need your help to find him.

I don't know why,
103
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:23,611
because you are obviously
capable of being articulate.
104
00:04:23,613 --> 00:04:25,163
Language is evolving, Watson,
105
00:04:25,165 --> 00:04:27,198
becoming a more efficient
version of itself.
106
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,284
I love text shorthand.

Met a man, I see.
110
00:04:35,925 --> 00:04:37,375
A handsome one, at that.
111
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:39,411
Um, this is the part
where I ask you
112
00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:40,678
how you knew that, right?
113
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,963
You put your hair up
114
00:04:41,965 --> 00:04:43,498
when you want to look your best.
115
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,883
You think it's more flattering.
116
00:04:44,885 --> 00:04:47,001
You're wrong, of course.
It's a draw.
117
00:04:47,003 --> 00:04:48,887
But it was down when you left
for coffee, and now it's up.
118
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:51,022
Ergo, you unexpectedly
met a man
119
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:52,273
you found attractive.
120
00:04:52,275 --> 00:04:53,775
Okay, what am I
doing here, anyway?
121
00:04:53,777 --> 00:04:55,176
You said it couldn't wait?
122
00:04:55,178 --> 00:04:57,645
I'm just trying to stick
to the terms of our agreement.
123
00:04:57,647 --> 00:04:59,314
You said we're not
supposed to be apart
124
00:04:59,316 --> 00:05:00,681
for more than two hours,
125
00:05:00,683 --> 00:05:02,200
and I have a mysterious
errand to run,
126
00:05:02,202 --> 00:05:03,952
and I have no idea
how long it's gonna take.
127
00:05:03,954 --> 00:05:05,236
What kind of errand?
128
00:05:05,238 --> 00:05:06,905
We have been summoned
to a meeting
129
00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:08,873
of the Board of Directors
of Canon-Ebersole.
130
00:05:08,875 --> 00:05:11,309
The investment firm. What do
they want to see you about?
131
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,710
I have no idea.
132
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:14,963
Hence my use of
the word "mysterious."
133
00:05:14,965 --> 00:05:17,198
Apparently Gregson
recommended my services,
134
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,167
and, uh, they won't
tell me anything else
135
00:05:19,169 --> 00:05:21,803
until I've signed
a confidentiality agreement.
136
00:05:21,805 --> 00:05:23,671
Uh, is that what
you're going to wear?
137
00:05:23,673 --> 00:05:25,673
What's wrong with it?
138
00:05:25,675 --> 00:05:28,343
It... I'm pretty sure you slept
in that T-shirt last night,
139
00:05:28,345 --> 00:05:31,763
and, um, the guys on Wall
Street are a little more...
140
00:05:31,765 --> 00:05:33,481
formal in the way they dress.
141
00:05:33,483 --> 00:05:34,983
Those are costumes.
142
00:05:34,985 --> 00:05:37,152
I loathe bankers.
143
00:05:37,154 --> 00:05:38,770
They rigged the roulette wheel
of commerce,
144
00:05:38,772 --> 00:05:40,321
very nearly destroyed
the world economy,
145
00:05:40,323 --> 00:05:42,690
and they still think
if they wear suits
146
00:05:42,692 --> 00:05:43,942
they'll be treated
like respectable folk
147
00:05:43,944 --> 00:05:46,561
instead of the crooks
that they are.
148
00:05:47,663 --> 00:05:49,948
My name is Jim Fowkes.
149
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:51,499

00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,339

154
00:05:58,341 --> 00:06:00,141

FOWKES:
This is our COO, Peter Talbott.
156
00:06:03,263 --> 00:06:05,763
Every quarter, he fields
a conference call with
157
00:06:05,765 --> 00:06:07,549
our institutional investors.
158
00:06:07,551 --> 00:06:10,418
These people control
huge pension funds.
159
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:12,854
As far as they're concerned,
Peter's the voice of the company.
160
00:06:12,856 --> 00:06:15,106
This quarter's call was
supposed to happen yesterday.
161
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:18,159
We had to reschedule,
because Peter didn't show up.
162
00:06:18,161 --> 00:06:19,944
Nobody has any idea
where he is.
163
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:21,980
And if you don't get this
call back on the books soon,
164
00:06:21,982 --> 00:06:23,781
people will start to whisper.
165
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:26,868
When these people whisper,
Mr. Holmes,
166
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:28,236
millions of dollars disappear.
167
00:06:28,238 --> 00:06:30,572
The gentleman
we spoke to,
168
00:06:30,574 --> 00:06:31,906
a, uh, Captain Gregson,
169
00:06:31,908 --> 00:06:33,508
he said that the NYPD
couldn't get involved
170
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:35,577
until Peter had been
missing for two days.
171
00:06:35,579 --> 00:06:37,078
He also said that
172
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,297
you were the finest
investigator he'd ever known.
173
00:06:39,299 --> 00:06:42,884
We'd like to hire you
and your, uh... associate.

Mr. Fowkes,
176
00:06:46,389 --> 00:06:48,006
I have a hole in my schedule.
177
00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:50,175

rates will apply, of course,
178
00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:53,711
multiplied by a factor
of 12, shall we say?
179
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:55,296
You're wondering
if I'm worth it.
180
00:06:55,298 --> 00:06:57,565
I could provide a demonstration,
if you'd like.
181
00:06:57,567 --> 00:06:58,867
I'm fairly sure,
182
00:06:58,869 --> 00:07:00,168
for example,
that these two are
183
00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:01,819
sleeping with each other.
184
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:03,188
You really should be more
careful of your body language.
185
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:04,522
And you, for some reason,
186
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:05,857
have recently used a solvent
187
00:07:05,859 --> 00:07:08,743
to remove fingernail polish
from your hands.
188
00:07:08,745 --> 00:07:11,145
12 times your usual rate
will be just fine.
189
00:07:11,147 --> 00:07:14,332
I will need access to Peter
Talbott's office, his computer.
190
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:17,735
My secretary will be happy to
take you down there right now.
191
00:07:24,443 --> 00:07:26,044
Cute couple.
192
00:07:26,046 --> 00:07:27,378
WOMAN: Everyone here calls
Peter and Alyssa
193
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:28,930
"Taylor and Burton."
194
00:07:28,932 --> 00:07:30,265
You know,
after the movie stars.
195
00:07:30,267 --> 00:07:31,549
Fascinating.
196
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:35,053
I'll be outside
if you need me.
197
00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:37,004
I don't think I've ever
seen you so happy,
198
00:07:37,006 --> 00:07:38,339
back in the
conference room.
199
00:07:38,341 --> 00:07:40,275
Mastering the Masters
of the Universe.
200
00:07:40,277 --> 00:07:41,726
Bit of a letdown,
actually.
201
00:07:41,728 --> 00:07:43,361
I think I could've got
20 times my normal rate.
202
00:07:43,363 --> 00:07:46,397
What is your normal rate?
Oh, I don't have one.
203
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,316
Remind me to make one up
before I leave.
204
00:07:48,318 --> 00:07:49,734
Typical.
205
00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:51,569
Every stuffed shirt who
wants to pass for erudite
206
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:53,071
has shelves full
of unread books.
207
00:07:53,073 --> 00:07:56,157
None of the spines on these
have ever been cracked.
208
00:07:56,159 --> 00:07:57,742
Except...
209
00:07:57,744 --> 00:08:00,995
this one.
210
00:08:00,997 --> 00:08:04,249
Which apparently Mr. Talbott
consults all the time.
211
00:08:12,341 --> 00:08:13,758
Ah.
212
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,043
I've never been a fan of
John Maynard Keynes,
213
00:08:16,045 --> 00:08:17,562
but this I could
sink my teeth into.
214
00:08:17,564 --> 00:08:19,013
WATSON: I don't understand.
What is that?
215
00:08:19,015 --> 00:08:20,565
It's a menu.
216
00:08:20,567 --> 00:08:23,050
Each of these girls is
available for a price.
217
00:08:23,052 --> 00:08:24,652
See the ring symbols
at the bottom?
218
00:08:24,654 --> 00:08:28,439
The more rings, the more
expensive the prostitute.
219
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:30,608
So you're speaking
from experience?
220
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:32,744
It's just a deduction.
221
00:08:32,746 --> 00:08:35,997
Though I am on
an expense account.
222
00:08:35,999 --> 00:08:38,082
Almost all these pages
are turned down.
223
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:39,334
The more pricey girls
224
00:08:39,336 --> 00:08:41,235
were his favorites.
225
00:08:41,237 --> 00:08:42,620
But you can't just tell the IRS
226
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:44,422
you spend six figures
a year on slappers.
227
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:47,258
No, you need to
hide the expense. So...
228
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:51,679
Let's see...
calendar, contacts...
229
00:08:51,681 --> 00:08:53,214
Yeah.
230
00:08:53,216 --> 00:08:55,800
You see?
231
00:08:55,802 --> 00:08:58,603
Talbott has contact addresses
for two separate accountants.
232
00:08:58,605 --> 00:09:01,956
This one is for a rep for DDB.
233
00:09:01,958 --> 00:09:04,275
That's a big five firm,
nothing untoward there.
234
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:06,477
Probably handled the family
books. But this one...
235
00:09:06,479 --> 00:09:09,597
is an independent accountant
by the name of Martin Rydell.
236
00:09:09,599 --> 00:09:13,818
Handled something Peter calls
his "Executive Private Account""
237
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,236
Excuse me!
238
00:09:15,238 --> 00:09:16,704
Secretary?
239
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:19,624
What did Fowkes
say your name was?
240
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,993
He didn't. It's Donna.
241
00:09:21,995 --> 00:09:24,379
Well, before we leave, Donna,
would you mind calling us in
242
00:09:24,381 --> 00:09:26,247
a reservation for three
at Villa Pacri?
243
00:09:28,217 --> 00:09:29,784
We're not dressed
for Villa Pacri.
244
00:09:29,786 --> 00:09:31,502
We're not dressed for
Canon-Ebersole, either.
245
00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:33,171
When I invite Martin Rydell
to lunch, it'll help if
246
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:34,672
I drop the name of one of
247
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,258
the most expensive
restaurants in the city.
248
00:09:40,829 --> 00:09:43,815
So you loathe Canon-Ebersole
and everything they stand for.
249
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,350
But you love to
spend their money.
250
00:09:45,352 --> 00:09:47,652
You don't see any
inconsistency there?
251
00:09:47,654 --> 00:09:49,737
I'm redistributing as many
of their assets as I can.
252
00:09:49,739 --> 00:09:52,073
If I'm going to get in bed with
the croupiers of a rigged game,
253
00:09:52,075 --> 00:09:54,575
I'm going to make damn sure
their wallets are lighter in the morning.
254
00:09:54,577 --> 00:09:56,396
Sir?
Mm.
255
00:09:56,496 --> 00:09:58,374
And that is for?
256
00:09:58,399 --> 00:09:59,698
It's the most expensive
bottle they've got.
257
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:01,582
I don't care if it comes in
a box, you're not drinking it.
258
00:10:01,584 --> 00:10:04,869
It's not for me.
You see that couple over there?
259
00:10:04,871 --> 00:10:06,788
I observed them
while you were in the bathroom.
260
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:09,090
The man's suit is frayed
from dry cleaning.
261
00:10:09,092 --> 00:10:10,925
I'd wager it's
the only one he's got.
262
00:10:10,927 --> 00:10:13,711
Therefore, he saved to come here
for a special occasion.
263
00:10:13,713 --> 00:10:16,964
Also, he keeps touching the
inside pocket of his suit coat,
264
00:10:16,966 --> 00:10:19,100
like he's checking to see
that something valuable
265
00:10:19,102 --> 00:10:21,436
is still there.
He's about to propose.
266
00:10:21,438 --> 00:10:25,289
And I'm going to send this
wine over as congratulations or condolences.
267
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,725
It's lovely, thank you.
268
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:28,943
Mr. Holmes?
269
00:10:28,945 --> 00:10:31,646
Mr. Rydell.
270
00:10:31,648 --> 00:10:33,564
Won't you sit down?
271
00:10:35,734 --> 00:10:38,903
Confession: I told a couple
of white lies on the phone.
272
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:41,072
I don't actually work
at Canon-Ebersole,
273
00:10:41,074 --> 00:10:42,907
and I have no
intention of opening
274
00:10:42,909 --> 00:10:45,576
a private executive
account with you.
275
00:10:45,578 --> 00:10:47,361
What I would like is
to discuss the work
276
00:10:47,363 --> 00:10:49,213
you did concealing Peter
Talbott's predilection
277
00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:50,665
for expensive hookers.
278
00:10:52,534 --> 00:10:54,252
I'm sorry, I think
maybe this is a mistake.
279
00:10:54,254 --> 00:10:56,170
Is it strictly legal,
280
00:10:56,172 --> 00:10:58,556
the private executive accounting
business? I bet not.
281
00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:00,541
Yet you seemed very eager to
take this meeting with me,
282
00:11:00,543 --> 00:11:03,761
so I'm quite sure that Peter
Talbott's not the only rich man
283
00:11:03,763 --> 00:11:05,713
to avail himself
of your services.
284
00:11:05,715 --> 00:11:07,432
But by all means, leave.
285
00:11:07,434 --> 00:11:08,933
I'm sure there's any
number of magazines
286
00:11:08,935 --> 00:11:11,402
would love to
publish a story about
287
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:13,104
the man who hides the dirty
secrets of Wall Street.
288
00:11:13,106 --> 00:11:15,523
The press is so
base these days.
289
00:11:16,158 --> 00:11:18,075
Excuse me.
290
00:11:18,077 --> 00:11:19,393
Hello. Is this the Post?
291
00:11:19,395 --> 00:11:21,929
Wait! (sighs)
292
00:11:21,931 --> 00:11:24,749
I work with Peter.
I set up a shell corporation.
293
00:11:24,751 --> 00:11:27,452
We steer a little bit
of his paycheck
294
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:29,537
into a quiet little slush fund.
295
00:11:29,539 --> 00:11:31,572
He can do whatever
he wants with it.
296
00:11:31,574 --> 00:11:33,291
And if he were using
this slush fund
297
00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:34,826
to binge on his
favorite bad habit,
298
00:11:34,828 --> 00:11:36,828
where do you suppose
we might find him?
299
00:11:37,913 --> 00:11:40,681
I rented an apartment in Tribeca
300
00:11:40,683 --> 00:11:42,783
under the name
of the dummy corp.
301
00:11:42,785 --> 00:11:46,253
Yes, I will!
Of course I will!
302
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:50,241
That's lovely, isn't it?
303
00:11:50,243 --> 00:11:53,227
This apartment, we'll
need the address.
304
00:11:53,229 --> 00:11:55,379
The man you met
this morning,
305
00:11:55,381 --> 00:11:57,114
his name's Aaron, yes?
306
00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:59,817
He sent a text while you were
in the bathroom at lunch,
307
00:11:59,819 --> 00:12:01,569
asked if you wanted
to have dinner tonight.
308
00:12:01,571 --> 00:12:02,904
Didn't we already
have this conversation?
309
00:12:02,906 --> 00:12:04,155
You don't touch
my stuff.
310
00:12:04,157 --> 00:12:05,940
You said yes,
by the way.
311
00:12:05,942 --> 00:12:07,959
And you definitely don't
accept dates on my behalf.
312
00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:09,227
Why not? We're both
equally aware
313
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:10,912
that you're attracted
to this man.
314
00:12:10,914 --> 00:12:12,797
No, we are both not equally
aware of my feelings.
315
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:14,131
(bell ringing)
316
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:15,383
MAN:
Super's office.
317
00:12:15,385 --> 00:12:16,801
(New York accent):
Yes, this is
318
00:12:16,803 --> 00:12:18,219
Detective Donowicz
of the NYPD.
319
00:12:18,221 --> 00:12:21,422
We got a warrant
to look inside apartment 2G.
320
00:12:21,424 --> 00:12:22,924
We don't have
a warrant.
321
00:12:22,926 --> 00:12:24,625
They almost never
ask to see it.
322
00:12:24,627 --> 00:12:26,627
(buzzer sounds)
323
00:12:30,849 --> 00:12:33,417
This is the apartment
he kept on the side?
324
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:34,735
This place is amazing.
325
00:12:34,737 --> 00:12:37,188
(clears throat)
326
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:40,725
Mr. Talbott, your bosses
would like a word.
327
00:13:00,997 --> 00:13:03,164
(indistinct radio transmission)
328
00:13:03,166 --> 00:13:05,133
WATSON:
You all right?
329
00:13:05,135 --> 00:13:07,719
I'm sure you already know
that the support meetings,
330
00:13:07,721 --> 00:13:10,522
you're not even allowed to name
the drug you've abused.
331
00:13:10,524 --> 00:13:11,773
Just saying it out loud
332
00:13:11,775 --> 00:13:13,508
might be enough
to make someone relapse.
333
00:13:13,510 --> 00:13:15,593
I told you I don't pay attention
in those meetings.
334
00:13:15,595 --> 00:13:18,930
Heroin was one of the drugs
that landed you in rehab.
335
00:13:18,932 --> 00:13:21,599
You're not just
hearing the word.
336
00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:24,402
You're in a apartment where
it's laid out in front of you.
337
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:25,937
Do you want to get
away from this?
338
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:27,572
We can go outside
and talk.
339
00:13:27,574 --> 00:13:29,574
I'm fine. I have to be.
I'm working a case.
340
00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:31,743
And talking about
my feelings
341
00:13:31,745 --> 00:13:33,311
is not gonna get
it solved, right?
342
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:36,064
Peter Talbott is right there.
Your job is over.
343
00:13:36,066 --> 00:13:38,516
Over? Do you see that
salad sitting there?
344
00:13:38,518 --> 00:13:43,488
Captain, you're classifying this
as an accidental overdose, yeah?
345
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:46,124
We'll wait on the M.E. to make
the final determination,
346
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,510
but you're looking at
the same picture we are.
347
00:13:48,512 --> 00:13:50,078
Indeed. But I don't think
we need to wait on the Examiner
348
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,513
to get started--
I think there's a good chance
349
00:13:51,515 --> 00:13:53,164
Peter Talbott was murdered.
350
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:54,632
Murdered? The guy's holding
the needle he used
351
00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:56,017
to shoot himself up.
352
00:13:56,019 --> 00:13:58,686
He's holding the needle that
someone used to shoot him up.
353
00:13:58,688 --> 00:14:00,638
Look at his arm.
There's no track marks on it.
354
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,775
Doesn't mean anything-- a junkie
can find a vein anywhere.
355
00:14:03,777 --> 00:14:05,577
Look around you.
Does this look like
356
00:14:05,579 --> 00:14:09,898
the typical apartment
of a hardcore heroin user?
357
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:12,484
It's-It's-It's pristine!
358
00:14:12,486 --> 00:14:15,070
I'd wager even the food
359
00:14:15,072 --> 00:14:17,822
is perfectly arranged.
360
00:14:17,824 --> 00:14:20,909
Ha. Does that look like
the typical fridge
361
00:14:20,911 --> 00:14:23,044
of a heroin addict?
362
00:14:23,046 --> 00:14:25,213
No, not a typical one.
363
00:14:25,215 --> 00:14:28,716
Heroin users are looking
for oblivion.
364
00:14:28,718 --> 00:14:30,718
They want the drug
to dull their senses.
365
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,837
That's why when they overdose,
usually you find them in
366
00:14:32,839 --> 00:14:34,973
squalid apartments
or alleyways.
367
00:14:34,975 --> 00:14:38,059
They don't often keep apartments
like this.
368
00:14:38,061 --> 00:14:42,147
And it's rare-ish that
they hold jobs as a COO
369
00:14:42,149 --> 00:14:44,149
of a billion-dollar
corporation.
370
00:14:44,151 --> 00:14:48,186
So you're saying someone gave
Peter Talbott that shot?
371
00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:50,338
How? There's no sign
of a struggle here.
372
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:51,606
You can't walk
up to someone
373
00:14:51,608 --> 00:14:53,658
and stick a syringe
in their arm.
374
00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:57,579
No, you would need them
to be unconscious first.
375
00:14:57,581 --> 00:15:00,782
Okay, granted I've never been
hit with a salad container,
376
00:15:00,784 --> 00:15:02,817
but I'm pretty sure
it wouldn't knock you out.
377
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:05,170
The killer would need
Peter to be insensate
378
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:08,089
before delivering
the fatal shot.
379
00:15:08,091 --> 00:15:09,374
But a drug other
than heroin would
380
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:10,992
surely show up
on tox screens.
381
00:15:10,994 --> 00:15:12,877
So what's the most
efficient solution?
382
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:15,163
If Peter Talbott
was murdered,
383
00:15:15,165 --> 00:15:18,933
I'd imagine the first dose
of heroin came from here.
384
00:15:18,935 --> 00:15:21,136
After he passed out,
385
00:15:21,138 --> 00:15:23,555
the killer dragged him
386
00:15:23,557 --> 00:15:28,143
to the chair where
he delivered the fatal shot.
387
00:15:28,145 --> 00:15:30,061
You think someone
dosed his salad dressing?
388
00:15:30,063 --> 00:15:31,696
I think it's worth
exploring.
389
00:15:31,698 --> 00:15:33,347
It's easy enough to
find out if I'm right.
390
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:34,532
We just test
the salad
391
00:15:34,534 --> 00:15:35,783
for the presence
of heroin.
392
00:15:35,785 --> 00:15:37,318
I'll hold my
breath on that.
393
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,787
Meantime, I got to
notify Talbott's wife
394
00:15:39,789 --> 00:15:42,624
of all... this.
I'm coming.
395
00:15:42,626 --> 00:15:45,126
He-he keeps a special
apartment for prostitutes.
396
00:15:45,128 --> 00:15:48,046
If he was murdered,
surely his wife had motive.
397
00:15:48,048 --> 00:15:49,380
You can watch.
398
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:51,032
She just lost
her husband--
399
00:15:51,034 --> 00:15:54,002
the last thing she needs
to deal with right now...
400
00:15:54,004 --> 00:15:56,004
is you.
401
00:15:57,973 --> 00:16:00,391
WOMAN:
Oh, my God.
402
00:16:00,393 --> 00:16:02,644
Peter said he
was done with it all.
403
00:16:02,646 --> 00:16:05,079
The girls, the partying.
404
00:16:05,081 --> 00:16:07,365
He just told me
he was ready for kids
405
00:16:07,367 --> 00:16:10,018
and you're saying he was using heroin?
Everything cool?
406
00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:11,936
BELL: Our sincere condolences.
You're staring.
407
00:16:11,938 --> 00:16:13,238
Ms. Talbott,
408
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,772
sorry to interrupt.
409
00:16:14,774 --> 00:16:16,441
Would you mind telling us
where you were
410
00:16:16,443 --> 00:16:18,910
two nights ago between the hours
of 6:00 and midnight?
411
00:16:18,912 --> 00:16:20,528
What?
The medical examiner
412
00:16:20,530 --> 00:16:21,746
estimates that's
when your husband died.
413
00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:23,248
I was wondering
where you where.
414
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:24,749
No.
You-you think I'd hurt my husband?
415
00:16:24,751 --> 00:16:27,202
No, no, everything
we've seen so far
416
00:16:27,204 --> 00:16:28,453
says accidental death.
417
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:29,754
HOLMES:
Even so-- your whereabouts.
418
00:16:29,756 --> 00:16:31,839
You don't...
have to answer that.
419
00:16:31,841 --> 00:16:33,925
I-I volunteer
at Habitat for Humanity.
420
00:16:33,927 --> 00:16:35,793
I was at a silent auction.
421
00:16:35,795 --> 00:16:38,596
Th-There must have been
200 people who saw me there.
422
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:40,031
Thank you.
423
00:16:40,033 --> 00:16:41,516
And until today,
424
00:16:41,518 --> 00:16:43,701
you had no idea your
husband was using heroin?
425
00:16:43,703 --> 00:16:45,136
I told you, no.
426
00:16:45,138 --> 00:16:46,721
I'm shocked.
427
00:16:47,773 --> 00:16:50,024
But... I...
428
00:16:50,026 --> 00:16:52,010
can't say I'm...
429
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:53,645
totally surprised.
430
00:16:53,647 --> 00:16:56,314
He's been overwhelmed ever
since they named him COO.
431
00:16:56,316 --> 00:16:58,950
Peter used to say he thought
the last guy dropped dead
432
00:16:58,952 --> 00:17:00,902
just to get out of
going into work.
433
00:17:00,904 --> 00:17:02,237
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
434
00:17:02,239 --> 00:17:03,821
Did you just say
435
00:17:03,823 --> 00:17:05,273
the previous
chief operating officer
436
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:07,575
of Canon-Ebersole also died?
437
00:17:07,577 --> 00:17:10,078
He was allergic to peanuts--
he died when some restaurant
438
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,080
put the wrong oil
in his lunch.
439
00:17:12,082 --> 00:17:13,281
How long ago was that?
440
00:17:13,283 --> 00:17:14,666
Last October. Why?
What does this
441
00:17:14,668 --> 00:17:15,883
have to do with Peter?
442
00:17:15,885 --> 00:17:16,884
Nothing at all.
443
00:17:16,886 --> 00:17:17,885
We're finished here.
444
00:17:17,887 --> 00:17:19,620
Thank you very much
445
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:20,672
for coming in.
446
00:17:20,674 --> 00:17:21,756
And again, we've very,
447
00:17:21,758 --> 00:17:23,508
very sorry for your loss.
448
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:24,926
Yes.
449
00:17:29,315 --> 00:17:30,898
Peanut allergies?
450
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:32,400
Seriously?
451
00:17:32,402 --> 00:17:35,403
Canon-Ebersole has lost
two COO's in a year.
452
00:17:35,405 --> 00:17:37,722
That seems like
a dangerous job.
453
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:40,742
(speaking Mandarin)
454
00:17:43,529 --> 00:17:45,479
You speak Mandarin?
455
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:47,448
Not as well as
I'd like. You?
456
00:17:47,450 --> 00:17:49,250
Not as well as
my mother would like.
457
00:17:49,252 --> 00:17:50,451
Who was that?
458
00:17:50,453 --> 00:17:52,420
The chef that
prepared the meal
459
00:17:52,422 --> 00:17:55,423
that killed Peter Talbott's predecessor
at Canon-Ebersole.
460
00:17:55,425 --> 00:17:56,991
Any particular reason?
461
00:17:56,993 --> 00:17:58,676
I won't get
the test results back
462
00:17:58,678 --> 00:18:00,712
from Peter Talbott's salad
for a couple of hours.
463
00:18:00,714 --> 00:18:02,847
In the meantime,
I suppose I'm just curious.
464
00:18:02,849 --> 00:18:04,932
The previous COO
of Canon-Ebersole
465
00:18:04,934 --> 00:18:07,268
was a man named Gary Norris.
466
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:08,936
Terrible allergies.
467
00:18:08,938 --> 00:18:11,222
Yes, noted earlier.
468
00:18:11,224 --> 00:18:14,475
Did you know he was fanatical
about avoiding peanut products?
469
00:18:14,477 --> 00:18:16,194
He ate every single takeout meal
470
00:18:16,196 --> 00:18:18,029
from the same
Chinese restaurant.
471
00:18:18,031 --> 00:18:20,148
He had a special arrangement
with the chef,
472
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:22,317
who knew never
to have peanut oil around
473
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:24,619
when he was preparing
Gary Norris's meals.
474
00:18:24,621 --> 00:18:26,871
Well, it only takes one slip up.
475
00:18:26,873 --> 00:18:29,073
But the chef swears
he didn't slip up.
476
00:18:29,075 --> 00:18:31,909
He prepared that meal
personally, and he believes
477
00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:34,746
that someone put the peanut oil
in Gary Norris's food
478
00:18:34,748 --> 00:18:36,547
after it left his kitchen.
479
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:38,883
I'm starting to think
he could be right.
480
00:18:38,885 --> 00:18:40,968
Death by peanut oil--
that would be
481
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:43,137
a brilliant way to kill someone.
Hmm.
482
00:18:43,139 --> 00:18:46,424
If Peter Talbott was murdered,
the M.O. is consistent:
483
00:18:46,426 --> 00:18:48,092
eliminate your target
484
00:18:48,094 --> 00:18:50,544
in a way that the world thinks
is an accident.
485
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:52,680
Damn it!
486
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:58,636
Earlier, when I asked you
about being around heroin again,
487
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:01,105
you wanted to say something?
488
00:19:01,107 --> 00:19:02,757
I could tell.
489
00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:06,277
I'd forgotten
what it smells like.
490
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,530
Cooked heroin.
491
00:19:09,532 --> 00:19:11,004
It brought back memories.
492
00:19:13,461 --> 00:19:17,157
You also said that heroin users
want to dull their senses,
493
00:19:17,257 --> 00:19:19,957
that they crave oblivion.
494
00:19:19,959 --> 00:19:22,210
Is that what you wanted?
495
00:19:22,212 --> 00:19:23,577
It's nearly 7:00.
496
00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:25,380
You're gonna miss
your dinner date.
497
00:19:25,382 --> 00:19:26,998
I'm not going.
You need me tonight.
498
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,433
Actually...
499
00:19:28,435 --> 00:19:32,186
what I need, I believe,
is privacy tonight.
500
00:19:32,188 --> 00:19:33,938
I'm not gonna
relapse.
501
00:19:33,940 --> 00:19:36,757
Besides, if I wanted drugs,
I could always just
502
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,477
climb out the window,
whether you're here or not.
503
00:19:39,479 --> 00:19:41,479
Go.
504
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:44,999
If it makes you happy, I'll take
a spit test when you get back.
505
00:19:46,668 --> 00:19:48,569
All right.
506
00:19:58,046 --> 00:19:59,831
I am officially
calling it.
507
00:19:59,833 --> 00:20:01,916
"Foam" is-is not
a category of food.
508
00:20:01,918 --> 00:20:03,634
(laughs):
It just isn't.
509
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:06,003
I feel like I should
take you to a restaurant
510
00:20:06,005 --> 00:20:07,672
that provides
actual sustenance.
511
00:20:07,674 --> 00:20:09,891
That's all right.
After all the bubbles subsided,
512
00:20:09,893 --> 00:20:11,292
there was food underneath.
513
00:20:11,294 --> 00:20:12,894
No, you're
missing my point.
514
00:20:12,896 --> 00:20:14,979
Can't you see that's
my stealthy way
515
00:20:14,981 --> 00:20:17,064
of asking you out
on another date.
516
00:20:17,066 --> 00:20:18,966
Oh, smooth!
517
00:20:18,968 --> 00:20:22,103
Yeah. So smooth you
didn't even notice.
518
00:20:22,105 --> 00:20:24,605
No, I didn't.
(laughs): I was...
519
00:20:24,607 --> 00:20:27,475
Seriously, though,
I... I had fun.
520
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:30,328
Most of my dates
these days
521
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:32,413
are spent talking
about ex-husbands.
522
00:20:32,415 --> 00:20:34,031
You didn't go there.
523
00:20:34,033 --> 00:20:35,750
Well, that's easy--
I've never been married.
524
00:20:35,752 --> 00:20:37,985
What about you?
No.
525
00:20:45,127 --> 00:20:47,495
Your chariot.
526
00:20:49,181 --> 00:20:51,165
(clears throat):
So, uh...
527
00:20:51,167 --> 00:20:54,469
like I said,
this was fun.
528
00:20:54,471 --> 00:20:56,170
It was.
529
00:20:57,806 --> 00:21:00,007
Thanks.
530
00:21:01,443 --> 00:21:02,894
Thank you.
531
00:21:02,896 --> 00:21:04,479
(laughs)
532
00:21:09,067 --> 00:21:10,485
Who are they?
533
00:21:10,487 --> 00:21:12,069
Employees of
Canon-Ebersole
534
00:21:12,071 --> 00:21:14,539
who have died over
the last ten years.
535
00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:16,157
It is a big company.
536
00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:18,326
Odds are they're gonna lose
some people along the way.
537
00:21:18,328 --> 00:21:20,861
And some of these,
no doubt, are random.
538
00:21:20,863 --> 00:21:23,531
But there could be a pattern
hidden in there.
539
00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:26,167
How was your date?
Good.
540
00:21:26,169 --> 00:21:27,802
Fun.
541
00:21:28,637 --> 00:21:30,588
I think maybe
he lied to me.
542
00:21:30,590 --> 00:21:33,257
It was the end of the night
and we were talking
543
00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:35,009
about whether or not
we've been married,
544
00:21:35,011 --> 00:21:37,428
and when he said he hadn't--
and this isn't something
545
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:39,847
I would've noticed before
I started working with you--
546
00:21:39,849 --> 00:21:42,567
but I... could swear
he wasn't telling the truth.
547
00:21:42,569 --> 00:21:44,602
Flexing our deductive
muscles, are we?
548
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:46,103
I could burst with pride.
549
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:47,738
The next step is confirmation.
550
00:21:47,740 --> 00:21:50,441
It's easy enough to find out
if he was married.
551
00:21:50,443 --> 00:21:51,776
What was his last name?
552
00:21:51,778 --> 00:21:53,160
Whoa. Hold on.
553
00:21:53,162 --> 00:21:54,895
Not a cyber-stalker.
554
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:57,031
Do you want to find out
if you're right or don't you?
555
00:21:58,617 --> 00:22:00,935
(sighs)
His last name is Ward.
556
00:22:00,937 --> 00:22:03,070
Quick visit
to maritalrecords.com
557
00:22:03,072 --> 00:22:05,623
tells us that Aaron Ward
558
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:08,626
of New York City was...
559
00:22:08,628 --> 00:22:09,844
Oh.
560
00:22:09,846 --> 00:22:11,335
"Oh." "Oh"-- what
does that mean?
561
00:22:11,336 --> 00:22:12,296
He wasn't married.
562
00:22:12,321 --> 00:22:13,966
- Oh.
- He is married.
563
00:22:13,967 --> 00:22:17,285
To a woman
called Grace Arber.
564
00:22:17,287 --> 00:22:18,769
They just celebrated
their anniversary.
565
00:22:18,771 --> 00:22:20,354
How could Emily set me
up with a married guy?
566
00:22:20,356 --> 00:22:22,306
Well, look at it this way:
your instincts were right.
567
00:22:22,308 --> 00:22:24,642
And you're home early, so
I assume you haven't become
568
00:22:24,644 --> 00:22:26,310
an unwitting adulteress.
569
00:22:26,312 --> 00:22:27,595
(phone chimes)
570
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:29,196
I knew it!
571
00:22:29,198 --> 00:22:31,766
Knew what?
That's the NYPD lab.
572
00:22:31,768 --> 00:22:34,368
They agreed to rush the tests
of Peter Talbott's salad
573
00:22:34,370 --> 00:22:36,988
and there were trace amounts
of heroin in it.
574
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:38,456
Mm.
My advice...
575
00:22:38,458 --> 00:22:40,074
don't dwell on that man's
petty deceptions.
576
00:22:40,076 --> 00:22:41,409
You need your rest.
577
00:22:41,411 --> 00:22:43,711
We're going to
Canon-Ebersole tomorrow.
578
00:22:43,713 --> 00:22:45,162
We're going to call another meeting
of their Board of Directors.
579
00:22:45,164 --> 00:22:47,331
Can you do that? You don't
even work there anymore.
580
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,883
Not technically, but I think
581
00:22:48,885 --> 00:22:50,418
they're gonna want my help
in trying to figure out
582
00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:52,420
whether there's a murderer
working there.
583
00:22:54,089 --> 00:22:57,458
HOLMES: Miles Durham, former head trader
in your Denver office.
584
00:22:57,460 --> 00:23:00,928
Mr. Durham was a volunteer with
wilderness search and rescue
585
00:23:00,930 --> 00:23:03,898
who always filed his travel
plans with the ranger office
586
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:05,232
whenever he went camping.
587
00:23:05,234 --> 00:23:06,601
CHO:
We're busy people, Mr. Holmes.
588
00:23:06,603 --> 00:23:08,035
What are we doing here?
589
00:23:08,037 --> 00:23:10,771
Maria Filipello.
590
00:23:10,773 --> 00:23:12,857
She ran your equities
division in Dallas.
591
00:23:12,859 --> 00:23:14,909
She suffocated in 2005
592
00:23:14,911 --> 00:23:17,028
when the natural gas line
running into her house ruptured.
593
00:23:17,030 --> 00:23:19,480
Never been another problem
with that brand of piping
594
00:23:19,482 --> 00:23:21,198
before or since.
595
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,667
Jason Palmer.
596
00:23:22,669 --> 00:23:24,201
He worked in
the New York office.
597
00:23:24,203 --> 00:23:27,004
Got a $5 million bonus in 2009.
598
00:23:27,006 --> 00:23:28,856
Then drowned,
while swimming in a lake
599
00:23:28,858 --> 00:23:30,207
near his home
in the Catskills.
600
00:23:30,209 --> 00:23:31,425
The odd things is,
601
00:23:31,427 --> 00:23:32,960
when Jason Palmer
was in college,
602
00:23:32,962 --> 00:23:34,629
he was a beach lifeguard
at Martha's Vineyard.
603
00:23:34,631 --> 00:23:36,497
Uh, respectfully,
Mr. Holmes,
604
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:39,550
you found Peter,
he O.D.'d, we're done.
605
00:23:39,552 --> 00:23:40,751
Peter Talbott was murdered.
606
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:42,303
The police are
investigating now.
607
00:23:42,305 --> 00:23:44,355
I believe the man who killed him
608
00:23:44,357 --> 00:23:47,558
also killed your
previous COO, Gary Norris.
609
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,193
And these three
unfortunate souls.
610
00:23:49,195 --> 00:23:50,594
Possibly one or two
others, as well.
611
00:23:50,596 --> 00:23:53,030
I can't find a plausible
motive for anyone
612
00:23:53,032 --> 00:23:55,616
outside the company to have
committed these murders.
613
00:23:55,618 --> 00:23:56,951
These are not crimes of passion.
614
00:23:56,953 --> 00:23:58,235
They're too
well concealed for that.
615
00:23:58,237 --> 00:23:59,954
They're crimes of opportunity.
616
00:23:59,956 --> 00:24:02,623
I think you may have
a sociopath in your midst.
617
00:24:02,625 --> 00:24:06,043
A particularly cunning,
methodical killer.
618
00:24:06,045 --> 00:24:08,045
If I'm right,
they wait, they analyze,
619
00:24:08,047 --> 00:24:10,331
and when the time is right
to give themselves a leg up,
620
00:24:10,333 --> 00:24:11,949
they pounce.
621
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:15,286
You're saying someone is killing
their way up the ladder?
622
00:24:15,288 --> 00:24:16,654
That sounds insane to me.
623
00:24:16,656 --> 00:24:19,223
I'd love to be wrong.
624
00:24:19,225 --> 00:24:22,326
But someone did dose Peter
Talbott's salad with heroin.
625
00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:24,929
As for the rest,
you let me do my work.
626
00:24:24,931 --> 00:24:27,148
I'll need access
to your records.
627
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:28,799
If this person is here,
I'll find them.
628
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:33,270
We control billions of dollars
worth of assets, Mr. Holmes.
629
00:24:33,272 --> 00:24:35,539
We can't give you
access to these files.
630
00:24:35,541 --> 00:24:37,341
They're confidential.
I don't need to audit you,
631
00:24:37,343 --> 00:24:39,043
I just need to do
some simple math.
632
00:24:39,045 --> 00:24:41,162
There can't be that many people
633
00:24:41,164 --> 00:24:42,780
who worked in Denver in 2003,
634
00:24:42,782 --> 00:24:44,081
Dallas in 2005,
635
00:24:44,083 --> 00:24:45,666
New York since 2009.
636
00:24:45,668 --> 00:24:47,018
If I can find
this person quickly,
637
00:24:47,020 --> 00:24:48,953
I can wrap this up
with a minimum of scandal.
638
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:50,287
All right, enough.
639
00:24:50,289 --> 00:24:52,223
FOWKES:
This is not necessary.
640
00:24:52,225 --> 00:24:53,374
Are you listening to me?
641
00:24:53,376 --> 00:24:55,026
There may be a murderer
at Canon-Ebersole.
642
00:24:55,028 --> 00:24:57,011
There's not a killer.
You know how I know that?
643
00:24:57,013 --> 00:24:58,713
Because the only person
with the career path
644
00:24:58,715 --> 00:25:00,715
that you're describing is me.
645
00:25:00,717 --> 00:25:02,133
What are you saying?
646
00:25:02,135 --> 00:25:04,084
That I murdered, like,
what, like five people?
647
00:25:06,455 --> 00:25:08,088
Well, this is a bit awkward,
648
00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:10,975
but I-I'd say that you're
a damn good suspect.
649
00:25:16,037 --> 00:25:18,621
(doorbell rings)
650
00:25:18,623 --> 00:25:20,907
I thought I'd bring you
your check personally.
651
00:25:20,909 --> 00:25:22,743
Also, we need to talk.
652
00:25:22,744 --> 00:25:25,545
Do we?
653
00:25:27,831 --> 00:25:29,082
Eggs?
654
00:25:29,084 --> 00:25:30,617
I'm sure I could
find another fork.
655
00:25:30,619 --> 00:25:32,569
I'm not hungry.
I came here to end this.
656
00:25:32,571 --> 00:25:33,870
Well, that should be
simple enough.
657
00:25:33,872 --> 00:25:35,321
Just confess.
658
00:25:35,323 --> 00:25:37,624
Save us both a great deal
of time and trouble.
659
00:25:37,626 --> 00:25:40,593
Do you have any idea
what you did to me today?
660
00:25:40,595 --> 00:25:42,962
Do you know what it takes
just to survive
661
00:25:42,964 --> 00:25:44,430
at a place
like Canon-Ebersole?
662
00:25:44,432 --> 00:25:46,466
I think avoiding you
would be a good start.
663
00:25:46,468 --> 00:25:49,302
I've never killed anyone.
664
00:25:49,304 --> 00:25:53,606
I went to parochial school,
Mr. Holmes.
665
00:25:53,608 --> 00:25:56,125
I've pretty much broken every
commandment they ever taught me.
666
00:25:56,127 --> 00:25:58,611
Father Ray probably
isn't very proud of me,
667
00:25:58,613 --> 00:26:01,648
but then again, Father Ray
doesn't have a country house.
668
00:26:01,650 --> 00:26:04,651
I was inches away
from becoming COO,
669
00:26:04,653 --> 00:26:06,135
which everybody knows
670
00:26:06,137 --> 00:26:08,071
is where they groom you
for the big chair.
671
00:26:08,073 --> 00:26:10,623
And you accuse me of murder.
672
00:26:10,625 --> 00:26:13,126
You think everybody in
that place isn't talking?
673
00:26:14,161 --> 00:26:15,995
Gossip's poison
in that place.
674
00:26:15,997 --> 00:26:17,764
Doesn't matter that
I'm completely innocent.
675
00:26:17,766 --> 00:26:20,283
I'm never gonna get that job.
676
00:26:20,285 --> 00:26:22,034
Sorry. Are you done?
677
00:26:22,036 --> 00:26:24,387
Every time you say "innocent,"
I... I tune out.
678
00:26:24,389 --> 00:26:26,623
In that case, I'm just going to have
to prove it to you, aren't I?
679
00:26:26,625 --> 00:26:30,059
Miles Durham, the first
of these so-called murders.
680
00:26:30,061 --> 00:26:31,761
He disappeared
during a camping trip.
681
00:26:31,763 --> 00:26:33,263
August 2003, right?
682
00:26:33,265 --> 00:26:36,266
He left August 7...
683
00:26:36,268 --> 00:26:40,270
He was supposed
to return August 9.
684
00:26:41,272 --> 00:26:43,106
What is this?
Medical records. Mine.
685
00:26:43,108 --> 00:26:46,276
I had elective surgery,
August 6, 2003.
686
00:26:46,278 --> 00:26:48,161
There were, uh...
687
00:26:48,163 --> 00:26:49,612
complications.
688
00:26:49,614 --> 00:26:52,565
I wasn't released
until August 12.
689
00:26:52,567 --> 00:26:54,233
Liposuction.
Rhytidoplasty.
690
00:26:54,235 --> 00:26:56,069
You had a face-lift.
691
00:26:56,071 --> 00:26:58,871
You see many jowly men on the
cover of Barron's, Mr. Holmes?
692
00:26:58,873 --> 00:27:01,641
My point is, I couldn't have
murdered Miles Durham.
693
00:27:01,643 --> 00:27:03,526
And I'll tell you
something else.
694
00:27:03,528 --> 00:27:07,463
Dan Cho--
arrogant little pissant--
695
00:27:07,465 --> 00:27:10,183
no, he didn't work
for Canon-Ebersole in 2003,
696
00:27:10,185 --> 00:27:12,518
because he had a summer
internship with us
697
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,387
while he was in business school.
698
00:27:14,389 --> 00:27:15,972
Worked at our Denver office.
699
00:27:15,974 --> 00:27:18,024
Here's his file.
700
00:27:18,026 --> 00:27:21,694
We hired him in 2005,
sent him to Dallas.
701
00:27:21,696 --> 00:27:23,929
You think there's a sociopath
working for us?
702
00:27:23,931 --> 00:27:27,099
Let me let you in on
a little secret, Mr. Holmes.
703
00:27:28,118 --> 00:27:30,102
We're all sociopaths.
704
00:27:33,991 --> 00:27:35,591
WATSON:
Hey.
705
00:27:35,593 --> 00:27:38,745
Hey, I'm trying to
read up there.
706
00:27:38,747 --> 00:27:39,962
This doesn't make any sense.
707
00:27:39,964 --> 00:27:42,065
Yes, Dan Cho
interned in Denver
708
00:27:42,067 --> 00:27:43,716
during the summer of 2003.
709
00:27:43,718 --> 00:27:45,752
But he didn't benefit
from the first murder.
710
00:27:45,754 --> 00:27:48,054
Company didn't even hire him
till two years later.
711
00:27:48,056 --> 00:27:49,639
First of all,
you're not even sure
712
00:27:49,641 --> 00:27:50,990
Miles Durham's
disappearance was a murder.
713
00:27:50,992 --> 00:27:52,225
Okay, let's say it was.
714
00:27:52,227 --> 00:27:53,626
Maybe this guy Dan Cho
715
00:27:53,628 --> 00:27:55,395
killed him to get
a charge out of it.
716
00:27:55,397 --> 00:27:57,463
The-the murder was the benefit.
717
00:27:57,465 --> 00:27:58,765
People who enjoy killing
718
00:27:58,767 --> 00:28:00,566
like to share their
enthusiasm with others.
719
00:28:00,568 --> 00:28:03,269
They want everyone to know
there's a murderer out there.
720
00:28:03,271 --> 00:28:05,188
And anyway, even after
he was hired,
721
00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:06,856
he didn't benefit
from the deaths
722
00:28:06,858 --> 00:28:08,524
nearly as much as Jim Fowkes.
723
00:28:08,526 --> 00:28:10,777
But Jim Fowkes...
724
00:28:10,779 --> 00:28:12,745
Jim Fowkes didn't
do the first one!
725
00:28:12,747 --> 00:28:14,330
It would appear not!
726
00:28:14,332 --> 00:28:16,699
(phone chimes)
727
00:28:16,701 --> 00:28:18,618
Marrying man?
728
00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:19,869
He just won't quit.
729
00:28:19,871 --> 00:28:21,320
He says he is married,
730
00:28:21,322 --> 00:28:23,356
but he wants to meet me
to explain himself.
731
00:28:23,358 --> 00:28:25,091
You should go.
Coffee with a creep?
732
00:28:25,093 --> 00:28:26,859
No, thanks.
If nothing else,
733
00:28:26,861 --> 00:28:29,228
it would be an interesting
experiment in deduction for you.
734
00:28:29,230 --> 00:28:30,496
Spot the lie.
735
00:28:30,498 --> 00:28:32,098
Besides...
736
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:33,716
I need time to think,
737
00:28:33,718 --> 00:28:36,285
which means it's not gonna
get any quieter around here.
738
00:28:36,287 --> 00:28:38,888
I...
739
00:28:48,749 --> 00:28:51,901
Donna.
740
00:28:51,903 --> 00:28:53,403
Can I get you something?
741
00:28:53,405 --> 00:28:55,988
I'm good.
742
00:28:57,408 --> 00:28:59,959
How did you find
out I'm married?
743
00:28:59,961 --> 00:29:02,412
Um... I thought you
wanted to explain yourself,
744
00:29:02,414 --> 00:29:04,046
not the other way around.
Okay, wait.
745
00:29:04,048 --> 00:29:06,265
I did lie to you.
746
00:29:06,267 --> 00:29:07,867
I did.
747
00:29:07,869 --> 00:29:10,253
But it's not what you think.
748
00:29:10,255 --> 00:29:12,588
I volunteer, uh,
749
00:29:12,590 --> 00:29:15,174
for a place called
Shoreline Community Services.
750
00:29:15,176 --> 00:29:16,926
It's a legal aid thing.
751
00:29:16,928 --> 00:29:20,179
We... work with people who are
seeking political asylum.
752
00:29:20,181 --> 00:29:21,531
A while back,
753
00:29:21,533 --> 00:29:23,816
I helped out with
a woman from Kosovo.
754
00:29:23,818 --> 00:29:26,018
Her father was a
general in the war,
755
00:29:26,020 --> 00:29:27,854
for the losing side,
756
00:29:27,856 --> 00:29:31,274
and when it ended, he
was shot in the street.
757
00:29:31,276 --> 00:29:33,910
She would have been killed
had she returned home.
758
00:29:33,912 --> 00:29:36,562
But the U.S. wouldn't
give her asylum.
759
00:29:38,749 --> 00:29:41,701
So you married her
to keep her in the country.
760
00:29:41,703 --> 00:29:43,536
Do you have a relationship?
761
00:29:43,538 --> 00:29:45,004
Mm...
762
00:29:45,006 --> 00:29:46,906
She lives in Hoboken.
763
00:29:46,908 --> 00:29:50,460
I check in on her
sometimes. That's it.
764
00:29:50,462 --> 00:29:52,578
We can get a divorce in a year,
765
00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:54,914
without the government
crawling all over us.
766
00:29:56,934 --> 00:29:59,302
I would have told
you eventually,
767
00:29:59,304 --> 00:30:00,837
if there was an "eventually""
768
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:03,506
But, uh...
769
00:30:03,508 --> 00:30:06,742
but now I'm just... I'm sorry.
770
00:30:06,744 --> 00:30:08,311
(sighs)
771
00:30:08,313 --> 00:30:11,497
Helping her was a really
compassionate thing to do.
772
00:30:11,499 --> 00:30:14,099
Thank you.
773
00:30:14,101 --> 00:30:17,403
But if you don't mind my asking,
how did you find out about it?
774
00:30:20,824 --> 00:30:21,958
(chimes)
775
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,242
HOLMES:
Excuse me.
776
00:30:23,244 --> 00:30:24,744
Donna?
777
00:30:24,746 --> 00:30:26,746
It is Donna, right?
778
00:30:26,748 --> 00:30:28,331
(sighs)
779
00:30:28,333 --> 00:30:30,616
No one ever remembers the
secretary, do they, Donna?
780
00:30:30,618 --> 00:30:32,134
Excuse me, what?
781
00:30:32,136 --> 00:30:34,337
As a career choice,
has its limits.
782
00:30:34,339 --> 00:30:37,590
But then it does afford one a
certain cloak of invisibility.
783
00:30:37,592 --> 00:30:39,642
I-I don't know
what you're talking about.
784
00:30:39,644 --> 00:30:41,627
But I'm pretty sure
that Mr. Fowkes
785
00:30:41,629 --> 00:30:43,629
had you banned
from the building.
786
00:30:43,631 --> 00:30:45,598
You've been with him
a long time, haven't you?
787
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,433
Until tonight,
I just assumed that you'd...
788
00:30:47,435 --> 00:30:49,735
come to work with him
after he moved to New York.
789
00:30:49,737 --> 00:30:52,137
Then I saw your name
as the emergency contact
790
00:30:52,139 --> 00:30:54,574
for a surgical procedure
he had in Denver.
791
00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:57,827
You followed him to Dallas, too,
didn't you?
792
00:30:57,829 --> 00:31:00,580
Mr. Fowkes is a good boss,
and we're loyal to each other.
793
00:31:00,582 --> 00:31:02,481
He's certainly had
a meteoric rise.
794
00:31:02,483 --> 00:31:06,118
And he probably owes some of
that to you, doesn't he, Donna?
795
00:31:07,988 --> 00:31:09,422
Jim Fowkes wasn't
the only one to benefit
796
00:31:09,424 --> 00:31:12,258
from the deaths
at Canon-Ebersole, was he?
797
00:31:12,260 --> 00:31:13,876
Do I need to call security?
798
00:31:13,878 --> 00:31:15,595
By all means. Hmm.
Let's loop them
799
00:31:15,597 --> 00:31:16,762
into the conversation.
800
00:31:16,764 --> 00:31:17,964
(elevator bell dings)
801
00:31:19,683 --> 00:31:21,050
No?
802
00:31:21,052 --> 00:31:23,052
Didn't think so.
803
00:31:25,439 --> 00:31:28,340
Quite obvious when you look
at it in the proper light.
804
00:31:28,342 --> 00:31:30,977
Every time Jim got promoted,
you had something to gain.
805
00:31:30,979 --> 00:31:32,945
Pay raise,
stock options.
806
00:31:32,947 --> 00:31:35,731
The company even contributes
to your retirement plan now.
807
00:31:35,733 --> 00:31:38,150
So? I've given them
years of my life.
808
00:31:38,152 --> 00:31:39,652
Must be quite
a feeling--
809
00:31:39,654 --> 00:31:41,571
steering the fate
of a giant company
810
00:31:41,573 --> 00:31:43,222
from your tiny
little cubicle.
811
00:31:43,224 --> 00:31:45,190
(sighs)
Get away from me.
812
00:31:45,192 --> 00:31:48,327
Question is did your boss know
or were you working alone?
813
00:31:48,329 --> 00:31:50,930
If you collaborated, it would
behoove you to start talking.
814
00:31:50,932 --> 00:31:53,899
First one to tattle gets
the shortest sentence.
815
00:31:53,901 --> 00:31:56,502
I've seen executives
like you come and go.
816
00:31:56,504 --> 00:31:59,371
A little bit of smarts,
a whole lot of ego.
817
00:31:59,373 --> 00:32:01,223
Take my word, you've never
seen anyone like me.
818
00:32:01,225 --> 00:32:04,477
Oh, sure, I have.
My bosses use $5,000 suits
819
00:32:04,479 --> 00:32:06,062
to get attention.
820
00:32:06,064 --> 00:32:07,880
You use a scarf and
an old T-shirt.
821
00:32:07,882 --> 00:32:09,899
(chuckles) You're so proud
of yourself
822
00:32:09,901 --> 00:32:11,400
for what you think
you discovered,
823
00:32:11,402 --> 00:32:13,052
you just couldn't
wait to tell me.
824
00:32:13,054 --> 00:32:14,904
Even if it meant
following me into an empty
825
00:32:14,906 --> 00:32:16,439
parking garage.
826
00:32:16,441 --> 00:32:18,658
(stun gun zapping)
827
00:32:35,152 --> 00:32:37,352
(passing car horn honking)
828
00:32:36,739 --> 00:32:38,156
(groans)
829
00:32:38,158 --> 00:32:39,524
You're awake.
830
00:32:39,526 --> 00:32:40,909
Good.
831
00:32:40,911 --> 00:32:42,860
Yeah, I've pursued
my fair share of...
832
00:32:42,862 --> 00:32:44,379
killers, Miss Kaplan.
833
00:32:44,381 --> 00:32:46,698
Most of them... most of them
are dreary people, but you
834
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:49,668
I-I've a certain fascination
with. You, uh...
835
00:32:49,670 --> 00:32:52,337
(sighs)
Such initiative.
836
00:32:52,339 --> 00:32:53,722
Such patience.
837
00:32:53,724 --> 00:32:55,557
I don't think
this is gonna work out
838
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:58,376
for you though.
Too rash.
839
00:32:58,378 --> 00:32:59,978
Did you tell anyone about me?
840
00:32:59,980 --> 00:33:01,930
Or did you just
rush right down to grandstand?
841
00:33:01,932 --> 00:33:04,549
Oh, I e-mailed several colleagues...
No, you didn't.
842
00:33:04,551 --> 00:33:06,184
We're gonna be
at Mr. Fowkes'
843
00:33:06,186 --> 00:33:08,153
country estate in a
couple of minutes.
844
00:33:08,155 --> 00:33:12,440
In a week or two, after somebody
calls in an anonymous tip,
845
00:33:12,442 --> 00:33:14,058
the police are going to find
846
00:33:14,060 --> 00:33:16,578
your body buried
on the property.
847
00:33:16,580 --> 00:33:18,363
And then everyone will know
that you were right
848
00:33:18,365 --> 00:33:22,584
and that Mr. Fowkes killed
you before you could prove it.
849
00:33:22,586 --> 00:33:24,419
You're gonna frame your boss.
850
00:33:24,421 --> 00:33:27,372
Daniel Cho is gonna
get that promotion.
851
00:33:27,374 --> 00:33:30,709
I imagine he'll need an
experienced executive secretary
852
00:33:30,711 --> 00:33:33,178
to watch his back
as he rises to the top.
853
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:35,430
Hmm, I was
wrong about you.
854
00:33:35,432 --> 00:33:37,599
You are smart.
855
00:33:37,601 --> 00:33:39,768
Oh, that's quite a compliment
coming from you.
856
00:33:39,770 --> 00:33:42,854
Canon-Ebersole should make you
the managing director.
857
00:33:42,856 --> 00:33:46,257
They don't have the imagination
for that kind of move.
858
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,778
(phone chimes)
859
00:33:49,780 --> 00:33:53,064
"Joan." That's the woman that
you're always with, right?
860
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:56,234
That's the fifth time she texted
in the last 20 minutes.
861
00:33:56,236 --> 00:33:57,619
She won't stop, you know.
862
00:33:57,621 --> 00:33:59,604
Very high-strung.
863
00:33:59,606 --> 00:34:01,873
I wouldn't be surprised
if she gets the police involved.
864
00:34:01,875 --> 00:34:03,875
Well, in that case,
we should let her know
865
00:34:03,877 --> 00:34:06,811
that everything's okay.
866
00:34:06,813 --> 00:34:08,680
(pushes buttons on phone)
867
00:34:08,682 --> 00:34:09,881
I'm a sober companion.
868
00:34:09,883 --> 00:34:11,750
I work with recovering
drug addicts.
869
00:34:11,752 --> 00:34:13,084
Sherlock is my client.
870
00:34:13,086 --> 00:34:15,136
His father hired me
to help him stay clean.
871
00:34:15,138 --> 00:34:17,422
The only reason
I am telling you this
872
00:34:17,424 --> 00:34:18,773
is because I think
he may have relapsed.
873
00:34:18,775 --> 00:34:20,592
I need your help to find him.
874
00:34:20,594 --> 00:34:22,293
What makes you
think he relapsed?
875
00:34:22,295 --> 00:34:25,129
The heroin from the crime scene
the other day.
876
00:34:25,131 --> 00:34:26,314
It affected him.
877
00:34:26,316 --> 00:34:28,466
I think it brought
some things back.
878
00:34:30,152 --> 00:34:32,353
(phone chimes)
879
00:34:32,355 --> 00:34:34,406
It's Sherlock.
880
00:34:34,408 --> 00:34:36,991
He says he's fine,
he's heading back.
881
00:34:36,993 --> 00:34:39,310
See? There you go.
882
00:34:39,312 --> 00:34:40,712
Nothing to
worry about.
883
00:34:40,714 --> 00:34:42,614
"See you soon."
884
00:34:43,616 --> 00:34:45,517
HOLMES:
No, seriously?
885
00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:47,886
You honestly expect me
to dig my own grave?
886
00:34:47,888 --> 00:34:49,988
Have you ever
been gut-shot?
887
00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:53,958
No. I imagine it makes it
difficult to do manual labor.
888
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,661
Shoot me, yank my fingernails
out-- the answer's still no.
889
00:34:56,663 --> 00:34:58,396
I categorically refuse
to dig a hole for you
890
00:34:58,398 --> 00:34:59,597
to bury me in, sorry.
891
00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:01,433
DONNA:
Fine.
892
00:35:01,435 --> 00:35:03,468
I'll do it myself.
893
00:35:03,470 --> 00:35:04,969
It's not supposed
to be that deep.
894
00:35:04,971 --> 00:35:07,839
They're supposed
to find you.
895
00:35:07,841 --> 00:35:09,808
Tell me something.
896
00:35:09,810 --> 00:35:11,876
How did you get started
with all this?
897
00:35:11,878 --> 00:35:14,879
You must be very proud
of your projects.
898
00:35:14,881 --> 00:35:18,283
It must kill you to have to
keep it all to yourself, hmm?
899
00:35:18,285 --> 00:35:21,486
I-I'm about to die, so
now's your chance to share.
900
00:35:21,488 --> 00:35:25,023
Good to share, yeah.
901
00:35:25,025 --> 00:35:26,691
Tell me.
902
00:35:26,693 --> 00:35:29,294
What launched the career
of Donna Kaplan,
903
00:35:29,296 --> 00:35:30,795
corporate sociopath?
904
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:33,198
Mr. Fowkes was a bonds salesman
back in Denver,
905
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,800
the company was downsizing.
906
00:35:35,802 --> 00:35:37,735
They were either going
to cut his job...
907
00:35:37,737 --> 00:35:38,903
(siren chirps)
908
00:35:38,905 --> 00:35:41,139
What are they doing here?
909
00:35:41,141 --> 00:35:43,341
HOLMES:
I'm not really sure.
910
00:35:43,343 --> 00:35:45,209
Bought me some
time, though.
911
00:35:45,211 --> 00:35:46,895
Did you know I pick locks?
912
00:35:46,897 --> 00:35:49,230
(stun gun zapping)
Pockets, too.
913
00:35:55,104 --> 00:35:57,221
(indistinct radio transmission)
914
00:35:57,223 --> 00:35:59,774
I can't take a tranquilizer, but
if it's not too much trouble,
915
00:35:59,776 --> 00:36:02,377
I'd love ten minutes
hooked up to your oxygen rig.
916
00:36:05,164 --> 00:36:07,064
I'll just help myself then.
917
00:36:07,066 --> 00:36:09,751
There's plenty of oxygen
out here, you know.
918
00:36:09,753 --> 00:36:11,669
Pure stuff's better.
919
00:36:11,671 --> 00:36:13,505
It invigorates and restores.
920
00:36:13,507 --> 00:36:15,757
Haven't you heard?
I've been through a trauma.
921
00:36:18,594 --> 00:36:21,679
That was, uh, very convenient
922
00:36:21,681 --> 00:36:24,299
the local police showing up
when they did.
923
00:36:24,301 --> 00:36:27,084
Too convenient
to be a coincidence.
924
00:36:27,086 --> 00:36:29,554
It was the text message
that Donna sent
925
00:36:29,556 --> 00:36:30,805
from my phone, wasn't it?
926
00:36:30,807 --> 00:36:33,441
"Everything's fine.
Phone was off.
927
00:36:33,443 --> 00:36:35,944
My mistake. See you soon."
That's it.
928
00:36:35,946 --> 00:36:38,763
No emoticons,
no indecipherable acronyms.
929
00:36:38,765 --> 00:36:42,150
It didn't read
like a teenager on a sugar high.
930
00:36:42,152 --> 00:36:44,319
Which meant you didn't write it.
931
00:36:44,321 --> 00:36:47,071
I manipulated her
into writing it for me.
932
00:36:47,073 --> 00:36:49,324
I knew she'd never be able
to duplicate my flair
933
00:36:49,326 --> 00:36:52,076
for our evolving mother tongue.
934
00:36:52,078 --> 00:36:54,896
I also knew...
I-I hoped
935
00:36:54,898 --> 00:36:56,948
that once you realized
the message wasn't from me,
936
00:36:56,950 --> 00:37:00,134
you'd know I was in trouble.
937
00:37:01,253 --> 00:37:03,087
From there, it's relatively
simple for the police
938
00:37:03,089 --> 00:37:05,673
to run a cellular interceptor
on my phone,
939
00:37:05,675 --> 00:37:07,675
find my location, quick call
to the local authorities...
940
00:37:07,677 --> 00:37:09,460
I'm sorry, are you trying
to take credit
941
00:37:09,462 --> 00:37:11,346
for the fact
that I saved your life?
942
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:15,683
And so soon after you
promoted me to bodyguard.
943
00:37:15,685 --> 00:37:17,735
It was a
collaboration.
944
00:37:17,737 --> 00:37:20,655
Well done, Watson.
945
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:26,578
Your deductive skills are not
unworthy of further development.
946
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:30,982
I think that was a compliment,
buried in a double negative,
947
00:37:30,984 --> 00:37:33,317
so... thanks.
948
00:37:33,319 --> 00:37:35,086
MAN:
Detective?
949
00:37:35,088 --> 00:37:37,038
(indistinct,
overlapping chatter)
950
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,790
Look, you should know,
951
00:37:38,792 --> 00:37:41,426
I went to Captain Gregson
when I couldn't find you.
952
00:37:41,428 --> 00:37:43,494
I had to...
953
00:37:43,496 --> 00:37:46,631
explain some things to him.
954
00:37:50,669 --> 00:37:53,388
I'm sorry.
955
00:37:55,391 --> 00:37:58,393
You might want to have a talk
with him.
956
00:38:05,183 --> 00:38:06,401
(knocking)
957
00:38:06,403 --> 00:38:08,319
Come in.
958
00:38:13,158 --> 00:38:15,693
(sighs heavily)
959
00:38:16,712 --> 00:38:18,796
You know... (clears throat)
960
00:38:18,798 --> 00:38:20,498
You were busy
at Jim Fowkes' house,
961
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:23,067
and I didn't get a chance
to pull you aside.
962
00:38:23,069 --> 00:38:26,671
But I didn't want to let more
time pass without having a word.
963
00:38:26,673 --> 00:38:29,373
We have something to talk about?
964
00:38:31,226 --> 00:38:33,561
There are any number of reasons
965
00:38:33,563 --> 00:38:36,213
why I didn't tell you
about my history.
966
00:38:36,215 --> 00:38:39,717
Um... I've told myself dozens,
967
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,187
all of them specious.
968
00:38:47,810 --> 00:38:51,162
In the end, um,
it... it is simple.
969
00:38:51,164 --> 00:38:53,865
Uh, I was... I was...
I was embarrassed.
970
00:38:57,703 --> 00:39:00,538
Since we first collaborated,
971
00:39:00,540 --> 00:39:03,624
you've always held me
and my work in a certain esteem.
972
00:39:05,678 --> 00:39:09,597
I guess I'm-I'm... I'm, uh...
I'm m-more vain about that
973
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,249
than I would care to admit.
974
00:39:14,887 --> 00:39:17,221
So, I'm sorry, 'cause you...
975
00:39:17,223 --> 00:39:19,774
you deserved to know.
976
00:39:19,776 --> 00:39:21,759
I did know.
977
00:39:21,761 --> 00:39:23,528
I beg your pardon?
978
00:39:23,530 --> 00:39:25,980
Do you honestly think
I'd let you consult
979
00:39:25,982 --> 00:39:29,100
for the NYPD
without doing my homework?
980
00:39:29,102 --> 00:39:32,737
You told me Joan was
your personal valet.
981
00:39:32,739 --> 00:39:35,289
Do you think I'm an idiot?
982
00:39:35,291 --> 00:39:37,608
No.
983
00:39:37,610 --> 00:39:39,544
You are above average
in intelligence.
984
00:39:39,546 --> 00:39:42,780
And for a policeman,
I would say, top tier.
985
00:39:42,782 --> 00:39:45,583
I've known about your
problem for a while now.
986
00:39:45,585 --> 00:39:47,318
Why didn't you say anything?
987
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,654
I did, sort of.
988
00:39:49,656 --> 00:39:52,256
A while back,
I asked you out for a drink.
989
00:39:52,258 --> 00:39:54,826
You said, "No"
990
00:39:54,828 --> 00:39:56,494
I figured you'd talk about it
991
00:39:56,496 --> 00:39:58,930
when you were ready
to talk about it.
992
00:39:58,932 --> 00:40:01,699
Was I happy
that you didn't tell me?
993
00:40:01,701 --> 00:40:04,302
No.
994
00:40:05,537 --> 00:40:08,439
(sighs)
995
00:40:08,441 --> 00:40:13,644
But your work hasn't slipped
one bit since Scotland Yard.
996
00:40:16,014 --> 00:40:18,916
Thank you.
997
00:40:18,918 --> 00:40:21,753
Well, not everyone
998
00:40:21,755 --> 00:40:23,988
is gonna see it
my way, so,
999
00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:26,457
I'm gonna do us both a favor
1000
00:40:26,459 --> 00:40:29,527
and keep a lid on this.
1001
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:51,182
(phone chimes)
1002
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:55,903
Unbelievable.
1003
00:40:55,905 --> 00:40:58,239
What is?
1004
00:40:58,241 --> 00:41:00,875
It's just that green
card marriage guy.
1005
00:41:00,877 --> 00:41:03,044
Emily's having this dinner party
thing next week,
1006
00:41:03,046 --> 00:41:05,496
and we talked
about maybe going together,
1007
00:41:05,498 --> 00:41:07,965
and I think now
he's blowing me off.
1008
00:41:07,967 --> 00:41:10,534
But you know what
the irony is?
1009
00:41:10,536 --> 00:41:13,805
I don't even want to be in a
relationship right now. I...
1010
00:41:13,807 --> 00:41:16,174
It's just that Emily
went to so much trouble.
1011
00:41:16,176 --> 00:41:19,210
Yet his apparent
mutual disinterest irks you.
1012
00:41:19,212 --> 00:41:21,979
It's crazy, I know.
1013
00:41:21,981 --> 00:41:26,383
If I had to guess, and by
sitting there talking about it--
1014
00:41:26,385 --> 00:41:28,385
you're forcing me to--
I would say
1015
00:41:28,387 --> 00:41:30,738
he finds your analytical
skills intimidating.
1016
00:41:30,740 --> 00:41:32,190
He was a little weirded out
1017
00:41:32,192 --> 00:41:34,358
when I told him
I looked him up online,
1018
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,161
but he lied about being married,
so we are square, right?
1019
00:41:37,163 --> 00:41:39,964
He might not see it that way.
Doesn't, apparently.
1020
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:44,401
It has its costs.
1021
00:41:44,403 --> 00:41:46,504
What does?
1022
00:41:46,506 --> 00:41:49,573
Learning to see the puzzle
in everything.
1023
00:41:49,575 --> 00:41:51,759
They're everywhere.
1024
00:41:51,761 --> 00:41:55,046
Once you start looking,
it's impossible to stop.
1025
00:41:56,698 --> 00:41:59,517
It just so happens
that people,
1026
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:01,936
and all the deceits
and delusions
1027
00:42:01,938 --> 00:42:04,889
that inform
everything they do,
1028
00:42:04,891 --> 00:42:07,108
tend to be the most
fascinating puzzles of all.
1029
00:42:07,110 --> 00:42:10,094
Of course,
1030
00:42:10,096 --> 00:42:12,930
they don't always appreciate
being seen as such.
1031
00:42:14,616 --> 00:42:17,935
Seems like a lonely way to live.
1032
00:42:19,037 --> 00:42:23,207
As I said, it has its costs.
1033
