1
00:00:10,268 --> 00:00:12,369
Don't you ever get tired
of this memory game?
2
00:00:12,371 --> 00:00:14,938
You do it every morning.
The mind is a muscle, Watson.
3
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:18,108
It needs to be exercised
regularly lest it turn flabby.
4
00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:20,244
Most people
just read a book.
5
00:00:20,246 --> 00:00:21,913
I am reading a book.
6
00:00:21,915 --> 00:00:23,965
Well, do you mind
turning it off for a minute?
7
00:00:23,967 --> 00:00:26,134
I want to finish our
conversation from last night.
8
00:00:28,921 --> 00:00:30,638
Okay, I meant
all of them.
9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,640
Absorbing and cataloguing
several pieces of information
10
00:00:32,642 --> 00:00:34,959
at the same time
is the whole point.
11
00:00:34,961 --> 00:00:36,894
Talk away.
12
00:00:36,896 --> 00:00:39,147
Okay, well, then I want us
to get more serious
13
00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:40,631
about finding a sponsor.
14
00:00:40,633 --> 00:00:43,300
Why do I need a sponsor
when I have a companion?
15
00:00:43,302 --> 00:00:45,319
Because you only have me
for a few more weeks.
16
00:00:45,321 --> 00:00:47,321
A sponsor is permanent,
someone who's...
17
00:00:47,323 --> 00:00:49,073
struggled with their
own addictions
18
00:00:49,075 --> 00:00:51,442
and is gonna offer you
lifelong support and advice,
19
00:00:51,444 --> 00:00:52,910
which is what you need.
20
00:00:54,279 --> 00:00:56,864
The drugs that I took
seemed to light up my brain.
21
00:00:56,866 --> 00:00:58,666
Suddenly I realized
22
00:00:58,668 --> 00:01:01,652
the power I held,
the power to rule,
23
00:01:01,654 --> 00:01:04,422
to make the world grovel
at my feet.
24
00:01:07,677 --> 00:01:10,661
The drugs I took seemed
to light up my brain.
25
00:01:10,663 --> 00:01:13,998
Suddenly I realized
the power I held,
26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,433
the power to rule,
27
00:01:15,435 --> 00:01:18,352
to make the world grovel
at my feet.
28
00:01:18,354 --> 00:01:19,971
Okay.
29
00:01:19,973 --> 00:01:22,172
Well, I know someone
who might be a good fit for you.
30
00:01:22,174 --> 00:01:23,474
I've worked with him before.
31
00:01:23,476 --> 00:01:25,026
Let's have coffee
with him, okay?
32
00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:27,812
If I needed a sponsor,
that would sound delightful.
33
00:01:27,814 --> 00:01:30,731
I don't. Just like I didn't
need a sober companion.
34
00:01:30,733 --> 00:01:32,033
And you didn't need rehab
35
00:01:32,035 --> 00:01:33,551
and you didn't
need drug counseling
36
00:01:33,553 --> 00:01:35,236
and you didn't need
any help of any kind.
37
00:01:35,238 --> 00:01:37,455
I know.
38
00:01:37,457 --> 00:01:39,657
It's just coffee.
39
00:01:40,525 --> 00:01:42,159
Sherlock.
Fine. I'll go.
40
00:01:42,161 --> 00:01:44,462
Provided I can get some peace
and quiet around here.
41
00:01:50,837 --> 00:01:53,304
We completely
understand, Mr. McKeon.
42
00:01:53,306 --> 00:01:54,371
Fluid layout.
43
00:01:54,373 --> 00:01:56,007
No, we-we agree, uh...
44
00:01:56,009 --> 00:01:59,227
grid-based design, it's gone
the way of the dinosaur.
45
00:01:59,229 --> 00:02:01,612
Will do.
46
00:02:01,614 --> 00:02:03,881
All right. Take care.
47
00:02:03,883 --> 00:02:06,651
Our favorite client's
still wringing his hands?
48
00:02:06,653 --> 00:02:08,269
Guy just does not get
Web design.
49
00:02:08,271 --> 00:02:11,572
'Course, he's like 45
or something.
50
00:02:16,445 --> 00:02:17,895
Is that you?
51
00:02:17,897 --> 00:02:19,830
No.
52
00:02:23,085 --> 00:02:25,703
I think it's coming
from inside the vent.
53
00:02:32,378 --> 00:02:34,879
Yeah, repair guy must have
dropped his phone or something.
54
00:02:34,881 --> 00:02:37,214
That's going
to make us crazy.
55
00:02:37,216 --> 00:02:39,467
I'll call maintenance.
56
00:03:02,989 --> 00:03:06,989
Original Air Date on November 29, 2012
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
57
00:03:10,659 --> 00:03:15,659
1x08
The Long Fuse
58
00:03:19,290 --> 00:03:21,958
The blast detonated in
the southeast corner
59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,544
of the office around
9:15 this morning.
60
00:03:24,546 --> 00:03:26,713
Killed two people,
61
00:03:26,715 --> 00:03:29,115
Dave Preston and Royce Maltz,
62
00:03:29,117 --> 00:03:31,051
and injured 11 more.
63
00:03:31,053 --> 00:03:33,136
Chemical composition
of the device?
64
00:03:33,138 --> 00:03:35,305
The bomb squad's
working on it.
65
00:03:35,307 --> 00:03:36,673
All they know
for sure is that
66
00:03:36,675 --> 00:03:38,258
the bomb was stashed
in that air vent.
67
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:41,178
Both of the victims were
employees of this company?
68
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:42,512
Parabolic Web Industries.
69
00:03:42,514 --> 00:03:45,565
They design and maintain
corporate Web sites.
70
00:03:45,567 --> 00:03:47,567
We're looking
into whether anybody had beef
71
00:03:47,569 --> 00:03:49,686
with the firm.
72
00:03:49,688 --> 00:03:52,072
Captain?
73
00:04:08,122 --> 00:04:11,124
I imagine you won't miss this
when you're gone.
74
00:04:12,493 --> 00:04:15,128
In a few weeks,
you'll be with your new client.
75
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:18,265
No more crime scenes,
no more death and destruction.
76
00:04:18,267 --> 00:04:21,635
Most dangerous place you'll go
is a support group meeting
77
00:04:21,637 --> 00:04:23,937
where they've run out of coffee.
78
00:04:23,939 --> 00:04:26,840
Firstly, I don't have
a next client, and secondly,
79
00:04:26,842 --> 00:04:29,643
you're right, I'm not gonna
miss seeing this stuff.
80
00:04:40,621 --> 00:04:43,356
You see this?
81
00:04:43,358 --> 00:04:44,541
That's packing paper.
82
00:04:44,543 --> 00:04:46,576
It's used to fill the gap
83
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:48,962
between the fuel and the
blast cap on a pipe bomb.
84
00:04:48,964 --> 00:04:50,864
When the bomb detonates,
85
00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:52,632
this paper is ejected
through the barrel
86
00:04:52,634 --> 00:04:54,551
before it has time
to fully combust.
87
00:04:54,553 --> 00:04:57,704
Now, weapons-grade munitions
uses pulp filler,
88
00:04:57,706 --> 00:04:59,873
not newspaper.
89
00:04:59,875 --> 00:05:01,641
The bomb squad
said the same thing.
90
00:05:01,643 --> 00:05:02,926
We're already
running a check
91
00:05:02,928 --> 00:05:04,478
on recent
commercial burglaries
92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,813
to see if
anyone's missing
93
00:05:06,815 --> 00:05:11,234
any flammable chemicals
or gunpowder.
94
00:05:11,236 --> 00:05:13,219
You got something?
95
00:05:13,221 --> 00:05:15,188
Motherboard.
96
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:17,274
You know this is
a computer company, right?
97
00:05:17,276 --> 00:05:19,075
Well, that's just it, Detective.
98
00:05:19,077 --> 00:05:20,777
This is not from a computer.
99
00:05:20,779 --> 00:05:22,195
It's from a pager.
100
00:05:22,197 --> 00:05:23,864
Note the presence of a receiver
101
00:05:23,866 --> 00:05:25,999
but the absence
of a transmitter.
102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,208
So...
103
00:05:27,234 --> 00:05:29,119
What's it doing here?
104
00:05:29,121 --> 00:05:31,505
Pre-explosion, this place looked
like the deck of a starship.
105
00:05:31,507 --> 00:05:33,206
It's unlikely any of
the firm's employees
106
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:36,459
would use technology
as antiquated as a pager.
107
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:38,261
You're saying
it's part of the bomb?
108
00:05:38,263 --> 00:05:40,914
I'm saying this may be
the bomb's detonator.
109
00:05:40,916 --> 00:05:43,082
The good news is, if it's
not too badly damaged,
110
00:05:43,084 --> 00:05:45,352
you'll be able to trace
the account.
111
00:05:45,354 --> 00:05:48,438
I'll get this
to tech assist right away.
112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,107
I'll let you know
when we hear something.
113
00:05:51,109 --> 00:05:52,943
If the motherboard
is still functional, how long
114
00:05:52,945 --> 00:05:55,195
do you think it's gonna take
the police to get a number?
115
00:05:55,197 --> 00:05:57,397
Two, maybe three hours. Why?
116
00:05:58,983 --> 00:06:00,567
He'll be a great sponsor for you,
117
00:06:00,569 --> 00:06:02,652
and he works on the floor
of the stock exchange.
118
00:06:02,654 --> 00:06:03,820
Good thinking, Watson.
119
00:06:03,822 --> 00:06:05,405
You know how much
I enjoy bankers.
120
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:06,740
Glad to see
you've been paying attention
121
00:06:06,742 --> 00:06:08,124
over the last few weeks.
122
00:06:08,126 --> 00:06:10,410
Actually, he's an officer
with the SEC.
123
00:06:10,412 --> 00:06:12,796
So he spends his days
keeping bankers in line.
124
00:06:12,798 --> 00:06:16,049
He also spent four years at
the London School of Economics,
125
00:06:16,051 --> 00:06:18,284
so he knows
your old stomping grounds.
126
00:06:18,286 --> 00:06:20,670
You think I'd just pick any name
out of a hat? Oh, there he is.
127
00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:22,639
Hey, Adrian.
128
00:06:22,641 --> 00:06:25,475
Hi. Adrian, Sherlock.
129
00:06:25,477 --> 00:06:27,427
Pleasure.
130
00:06:29,513 --> 00:06:31,798
Well, you guys talk.
131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,100
I'll be over there
when you're ready.
132
00:06:37,905 --> 00:06:39,606
A hypothetical, Adrian.
133
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:41,274
I call you in the middle
of the night,
134
00:06:41,276 --> 00:06:42,609
I tell you that I'm thinking
of using again,
135
00:06:42,611 --> 00:06:44,143
and that if I don't,
I might die.
136
00:06:44,145 --> 00:06:45,362
How do you respond?
137
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:47,113
Well, Sherlock,
I think I'd start
138
00:06:47,115 --> 00:06:49,532
by reminding you, you got
to take it one day at a time,
139
00:06:49,534 --> 00:06:51,284
and that every clean
day is a victory.
140
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:53,536
I call you and tell you
that an enemy has poisoned me
141
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:55,171
with a powerful
neuroleptic agent.
142
00:06:55,173 --> 00:06:57,374
The only antidote is a
healthy dose of diphenhydramine,
143
00:06:57,376 --> 00:06:58,658
of which I have plenty.
144
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:00,176
Do you advise me to take it?
145
00:07:00,178 --> 00:07:01,511
Diphen...
146
00:07:01,513 --> 00:07:02,963
Diphenhydramine.
147
00:07:04,181 --> 00:07:05,632
You find
murder-by-poisoning humorous?
148
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,166
No, of course not. I just...
149
00:07:07,168 --> 00:07:09,185
The diphenhydramine,
Adrian, do I take it?
150
00:07:09,187 --> 00:07:12,606
If it's gonna save your life,
151
00:07:12,608 --> 00:07:14,891
then yeah, of course you do.
152
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:26,886
That's your idea of a
good fit, seriously?
153
00:07:26,888 --> 00:07:29,322
I told you, he's one
of the best sponsors I know.
154
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:31,691
Peter Platitude? I was waiting
for him to hold my hand
155
00:07:31,693 --> 00:07:33,360
so we could recite
the Serenity Prayer.
156
00:07:33,362 --> 00:07:35,629
Okay, if you want to hear
something other that platitudes,
157
00:07:35,631 --> 00:07:37,831
try listening to the guy
for more than two minutes.
158
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:40,550
The man encouraged me to take
diphenhydramine, Watson.
159
00:07:40,552 --> 00:07:41,935
A deliriant.
160
00:07:41,937 --> 00:07:43,586
The Republic of Zambia
recently classified that
161
00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:45,171
a controlled substance.
162
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,206
Now, what kind of a sponsor
would allow his sponsee
163
00:07:47,208 --> 00:07:48,908
to risk their sobriety
over a simple case
164
00:07:48,910 --> 00:07:50,143
of neuroleptic poisoning?
165
00:07:50,145 --> 00:07:51,478
Okay, you think I don't know
166
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,213
there's no right answer
to that question?
167
00:07:53,215 --> 00:07:54,648
You don't want Adrian?
168
00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:56,082
Okay. This is a process.
169
00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:57,934
We can look for other candidates
at group tonight.
170
00:07:57,936 --> 00:08:00,103
We are gonna
find you a sponsor
171
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:01,988
before my stint is up, okay?
172
00:08:05,410 --> 00:08:06,860
Ha.
173
00:08:06,862 --> 00:08:07,894
Captain.
174
00:08:07,896 --> 00:08:09,362
That motherboard you found--
175
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:11,164
bomb squad confirmed
it was part of the device,
176
00:08:11,166 --> 00:08:12,565
so touché.
177
00:08:12,567 --> 00:08:14,250
The pager it was part of
was prepaid,
178
00:08:14,252 --> 00:08:15,802
so there was no subscriber info,
179
00:08:15,804 --> 00:08:17,921
but luckily, the tech assist
180
00:08:17,923 --> 00:08:19,589
was able to pull
a number off it.
181
00:08:19,591 --> 00:08:21,908
And the same phone
called the pager
182
00:08:21,910 --> 00:08:23,460
three times this morning,
183
00:08:23,462 --> 00:08:26,412
and each call was within seconds
of the bomb going off.
184
00:08:26,414 --> 00:08:28,264
Were you able
to trace the number?
185
00:08:28,266 --> 00:08:31,751
Yeah, to a plumber
named Rennie Jacobs from Queens.
186
00:08:31,753 --> 00:08:34,254
And get this,
he just did a six-year stretch
187
00:08:34,256 --> 00:08:35,421
for burning down his apartment
188
00:08:35,423 --> 00:08:37,590
in an insurance fraud scheme.
189
00:08:37,592 --> 00:08:39,109
Any particular reason
190
00:08:39,111 --> 00:08:41,061
he'd want to depredate
that Web design firm?
191
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:43,613
No clue, but, uh,
if you want to see him
192
00:08:43,615 --> 00:08:46,032
live and in person,
he just got here.
193
00:08:46,034 --> 00:08:47,450
I was just trying
to call in
194
00:08:47,452 --> 00:08:49,285
a breakfast sandwich order,
that's it.
195
00:08:49,287 --> 00:08:51,538
Three times you called
that pager, Mr. Jacobs.
196
00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:52,939
Three times.
197
00:08:52,941 --> 00:08:55,458
You said the pager number
was 555-0164, right?
198
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:56,793
212 area code?
199
00:08:56,795 --> 00:09:00,113
I was trying to call
Miracle Deli on 113th.
200
00:09:00,115 --> 00:09:01,548
Their number is off
201
00:09:01,550 --> 00:09:04,718
by one digit. 0165.
202
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,131
I must've misdialed, 'cause
when they didn't answer,
203
00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:09,672
I hit redial.
204
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:10,957
Twice.
205
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:12,759
Miracle Deli.
Pickup or delivery?
206
00:09:12,761 --> 00:09:14,627
He's telling the truth
207
00:09:14,629 --> 00:09:16,479
about the numbers being off
by a single digit.
208
00:09:16,481 --> 00:09:18,148
Yeah, we know.
209
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:20,767
Coincidence bugs me, but not
enough to cut him loose.
210
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:24,237
I got to step out.
211
00:09:24,239 --> 00:09:26,022
Bomb squad wants to brief me.
212
00:09:30,245 --> 00:09:32,862
You don't look convinced.
213
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:35,448
Bomb-building
is a dangerous venture.
214
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:37,500
It requires patience,
precision,
215
00:09:37,502 --> 00:09:39,502
attention to detail.
216
00:09:39,504 --> 00:09:41,871
Mr. Jacobs' wristwatch
is nine minutes slow
217
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:43,873
and his fly
is three-quarters down.
218
00:09:43,875 --> 00:09:47,260
That doesn't scream
detail-oriented.
219
00:09:47,262 --> 00:09:49,929
Ted Kaczynski looked like
a hobo puked another hobo.
220
00:09:49,931 --> 00:09:52,348
He managed
to hurt plenty of people.
221
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,685
Point taken.
222
00:09:58,773 --> 00:10:00,807
Yeah.
223
00:10:02,476 --> 00:10:04,077
Can I help you?
224
00:10:04,079 --> 00:10:05,895
This is the, uh...
225
00:10:05,897 --> 00:10:08,064
the bomb's power source,
I presume?
226
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:09,616
Six volt.
227
00:10:09,618 --> 00:10:11,734
Very interesting company,
PrimSource Battery.
228
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,820
Founded in 1888
by British expat
229
00:10:13,822 --> 00:10:15,455
and purveyor
of mechanical novelties,
230
00:10:15,457 --> 00:10:16,990
Hubert Primler.
231
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:20,076
They switched to making
batteries full-time in 1907,
232
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:22,078
each one stamped
with the company's
233
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,297
now iconic rising-sun logo.
234
00:10:24,299 --> 00:10:26,499
The logo remained unchanged
until 2008,
235
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:28,367
when a small oak tree was added
236
00:10:28,369 --> 00:10:30,303
to commemorate
the company's centenary.
237
00:10:30,305 --> 00:10:32,889
Yet this one has no oak tree.
238
00:10:33,808 --> 00:10:34,924
That means that battery
239
00:10:34,926 --> 00:10:36,726
is more than four years old.
240
00:10:36,728 --> 00:10:39,896
Odd, isn't it,
go to all that trouble
241
00:10:39,898 --> 00:10:41,380
building an elaborate
explosive device
242
00:10:41,382 --> 00:10:42,899
and then power it with an old
243
00:10:42,901 --> 00:10:44,400
and potentially
unreliable battery?
244
00:10:44,402 --> 00:10:46,703
Odd, yes,
but not impossible.
245
00:10:46,705 --> 00:10:49,239
Holmes, Holmes,
I've only got a few minutes here
246
00:10:49,241 --> 00:10:50,940
to pick Bennett's brain
before I have
247
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:52,391
to stand in front
of 20 cameras
248
00:10:52,393 --> 00:10:53,559
to explain what happened
this morning.
249
00:10:53,561 --> 00:10:55,578
What about that?
What about what?
250
00:10:55,580 --> 00:10:57,413
It's the president.
251
00:10:57,415 --> 00:10:59,582
Wrong. It's the senator.
Captain...
252
00:10:59,584 --> 00:11:01,167
Senator Obama,
not President Obama.
253
00:11:01,169 --> 00:11:03,419
You can tell from the lack
of gray in his hair.
254
00:11:03,421 --> 00:11:05,839
He's right. I can make
out a date on this one.
255
00:11:05,841 --> 00:11:07,874
October 13, 2008.
256
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:09,375
So, what are you saying?
257
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:10,844
That battery is four years old.
258
00:11:10,846 --> 00:11:13,263
These shreds of newspaper
are four years old.
259
00:11:13,265 --> 00:11:15,715
The bomb that exploded
this morning was four years old.
260
00:11:15,717 --> 00:11:17,183
But why would the suspect
build a bomb
261
00:11:17,185 --> 00:11:18,601
and sit on it for four years?
262
00:11:18,603 --> 00:11:20,353
He wouldn't have.
263
00:11:20,355 --> 00:11:22,021
And in Rennie Jacobs's case,
he couldn't have.
264
00:11:22,023 --> 00:11:23,473
He was in prison
four years ago.
265
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:25,058
I think he was telling the truth
266
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:27,026
when he said he dialed
the wrong number this morning.
267
00:11:27,028 --> 00:11:30,363
We have the man who set it off
accidentally in 2012.
268
00:11:30,365 --> 00:11:34,484
Now we just need the man who
intended to set it off in 2008.
269
00:11:38,339 --> 00:11:40,088
You're sure he's not the
one who built the bomb?
270
00:11:40,089 --> 00:11:41,293
Sure? No.
271
00:11:41,294 --> 00:11:42,961
Reasonably certain? Yeah.
272
00:11:42,963 --> 00:11:45,446
The NYPD can continue
to poke and prod him.
273
00:11:45,448 --> 00:11:47,565
In the meantime,
you and I can push forward
274
00:11:47,567 --> 00:11:49,467
on this, our new front.
275
00:11:49,469 --> 00:11:52,387
It is a lovely front.
276
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:54,339
Hmm. Vanowen
Strategic Communications.
277
00:11:54,341 --> 00:11:57,342
Public relations consultancy
founded in 1994
278
00:11:57,344 --> 00:12:00,729
by Harrington School of Business
alumna Heather Vanowen.
279
00:12:00,731 --> 00:12:03,314
The firm is particularly adept
at solving image crises
280
00:12:03,316 --> 00:12:05,066
of the corporate variety,
281
00:12:05,068 --> 00:12:08,403
making them one-stop shopping
for many of the Fortune 500.
282
00:12:08,405 --> 00:12:12,157
Spin doctors
of the highest order, and
283
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:14,308
former tenants
of the midtown offices
284
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:16,811
ravaged by a homemade bomb
this morning.
285
00:12:16,813 --> 00:12:19,414
They occupied the space
until December 2008.
286
00:12:19,416 --> 00:12:22,367
Now, if I'm right and the bomb
was planted that October,
287
00:12:22,369 --> 00:12:24,536
this company
or one of its employees
288
00:12:24,538 --> 00:12:26,988
may have been
the intended target.
289
00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:29,591
Mr. Holmes?
290
00:12:29,593 --> 00:12:31,009
Heather Vanowen.
291
00:12:31,011 --> 00:12:32,660
This is Earl Wheeler, my CFO.
292
00:12:32,662 --> 00:12:36,014
We were told you work
with the police.
293
00:12:36,016 --> 00:12:37,498
I'm their consultant.
294
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:38,850
This is Miss Watson.
295
00:12:38,852 --> 00:12:41,102
She is my consultant,
slash housekeep.
296
00:12:41,104 --> 00:12:42,687
So, how can we
help you today?
297
00:12:42,689 --> 00:12:44,505
Well, you can start
by telling us
298
00:12:44,507 --> 00:12:47,726
who maybe have wanted
to blow you up in 2008.
299
00:12:49,111 --> 00:12:50,812
I'm stunned.
300
00:12:50,814 --> 00:12:52,397
I-I saw the story
on the news this morning.
301
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:54,933
I knew that was our old
office space, but...
302
00:12:54,935 --> 00:12:57,068
I never would have guessed
that that bomb
303
00:12:57,070 --> 00:12:59,187
- was meant for us.
- So you honestly think
304
00:12:59,189 --> 00:13:01,522
it was just sitting
there this whole time?
305
00:13:01,524 --> 00:13:03,691
The police think it was tucked
into an air vent.
306
00:13:03,693 --> 00:13:05,460
If that part of the building's
climate control system
307
00:13:05,462 --> 00:13:07,212
had never needed repair--
308
00:13:07,214 --> 00:13:09,464
and judging by this morning's
events, it didn't--
309
00:13:09,466 --> 00:13:11,716
it could have gone
undiscovered indefinitely.
310
00:13:11,718 --> 00:13:13,885
Okay, but why this morning?
311
00:13:13,887 --> 00:13:15,804
Why'd it go off
after all this time?
312
00:13:15,806 --> 00:13:17,371
The bomb was detonated
by a pager.
313
00:13:17,373 --> 00:13:21,059
In 2008, the company
that made that pager
314
00:13:21,061 --> 00:13:25,263
had no signal towers within
42 blocks of your old offices.
315
00:13:25,265 --> 00:13:26,898
In 2010,
316
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,517
they erected a new tower
317
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:31,402
a mere three blocks away.
318
00:13:31,404 --> 00:13:33,221
So the bomb didn't detonate
319
00:13:33,223 --> 00:13:35,523
in 2008 because the call
couldn't go through.
320
00:13:35,525 --> 00:13:38,059
The question is:
Who built the device,
321
00:13:38,061 --> 00:13:40,695
and what may they have had
against your company?
322
00:13:40,697 --> 00:13:42,413
I'm sure that we've made
our fair share of enemies
323
00:13:42,415 --> 00:13:44,582
along the way, but, um...
someone who would build
324
00:13:44,584 --> 00:13:46,034
a bomb?
325
00:13:46,036 --> 00:13:48,286
The ELM.
326
00:13:48,288 --> 00:13:50,905
The Earth Liberty Militia.
327
00:13:50,907 --> 00:13:52,457
We got some threatening letters
from them in 2008.
328
00:13:52,459 --> 00:13:54,843
They're an ecoterrorist
group, right?
329
00:13:54,845 --> 00:13:56,628
They've bombed a few other
companies over the years.
330
00:13:56,630 --> 00:13:59,514
What would an ecoterrorist group
have against a PR firm?
331
00:13:59,516 --> 00:14:01,633
Our clients.
332
00:14:01,635 --> 00:14:04,085
We work with some of
the major energy conglomerates.
333
00:14:04,087 --> 00:14:05,436
Occasionally we
have to help them
334
00:14:05,438 --> 00:14:07,021
smooth over their
image after mishaps.
335
00:14:07,023 --> 00:14:09,257
200 million gallons of oil
336
00:14:09,259 --> 00:14:11,192
spilling into the Gulf,
for example?
337
00:14:11,194 --> 00:14:13,695
The ELM sent us
seven letters in 2008.
338
00:14:13,697 --> 00:14:15,797
I know that we kept hard copies
of them in our records room.
339
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:17,031
You want to take a look?
340
00:14:17,033 --> 00:14:18,700
We would.
341
00:14:20,435 --> 00:14:23,822
Effluvium, fussbudget, Cairo.
342
00:14:23,824 --> 00:14:26,741
Nine across,
14 down, 32 down.
343
00:14:26,743 --> 00:14:30,128
I-I have a sort of thing
for puzzles.
344
00:14:34,767 --> 00:14:36,134
When I first tried
getting clean,
345
00:14:36,136 --> 00:14:37,635
I started drinking.
346
00:14:37,637 --> 00:14:40,221
Before long, I realized
that I had swapped
347
00:14:40,223 --> 00:14:41,639
one addiction
for another.
348
00:14:41,641 --> 00:14:43,091
Please put those away.
349
00:14:43,093 --> 00:14:45,276
"You cannot stop this.
You can only submit.
350
00:14:45,278 --> 00:14:47,578
Submit or be destroyed""
351
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:50,882
That's something
the ELM would say.
352
00:14:50,884 --> 00:14:52,133
Here...
353
00:14:52,135 --> 00:14:54,135
Not the time,
not the place.
354
00:14:54,137 --> 00:14:56,804
I'm sorry, but from a forensic
linguistics standpoint,
355
00:14:56,806 --> 00:14:58,423
these threats are
quite fascinating.
356
00:14:58,425 --> 00:15:01,476
For example, I see clues here
that would suggest
357
00:15:01,478 --> 00:15:04,562
that the ELM was not
an organization, per se,
358
00:15:04,564 --> 00:15:07,815
but one man posing
as an organization
359
00:15:08,984 --> 00:15:11,152
Seriously, can you just
examine those at home?
360
00:15:11,154 --> 00:15:12,770
We have work
to do here.
361
00:15:12,772 --> 00:15:15,073
Oh, yeah.
Sponsor Search 2012.
362
00:15:15,075 --> 00:15:17,075
I have to say, Watson,
363
00:15:17,077 --> 00:15:19,310
it's a bit of
a motley crew tonight.
364
00:15:19,312 --> 00:15:21,446
I don't think these are
my kind of addicts.
365
00:15:21,448 --> 00:15:24,499
I think this is going to be
a much longer
366
00:15:24,501 --> 00:15:26,701
and more involved process
than we initially thought.
367
00:15:26,703 --> 00:15:28,986
You have 23 days.
368
00:15:28,988 --> 00:15:30,922
Then our time is up.
369
00:15:33,008 --> 00:15:34,959
My name is Alfredo,
and I'm an addict.
370
00:15:34,961 --> 00:15:36,660
Hi, Alfredo.
371
00:15:36,662 --> 00:15:40,181
Started boosting cars
when I was 14.
372
00:15:40,183 --> 00:15:41,549
By the time I turned 18,
373
00:15:41,551 --> 00:15:43,634
I was the best there is.
374
00:15:43,636 --> 00:15:45,803
Ain't a car in the city
I can't steal.
375
00:15:45,805 --> 00:15:47,305
Him.
376
00:15:47,307 --> 00:15:48,606
- Hmm?
- Now I'm flush with cash,
377
00:15:48,608 --> 00:15:50,775
I'm bored... I turn to drugs.
378
00:15:50,777 --> 00:15:53,728
I want him to
be my sponsor.
379
00:15:53,730 --> 00:15:55,396
Took my first hit at 19...
380
00:15:57,533 --> 00:16:01,018
This phrase,
"on your beam ends,"
381
00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:03,538
it appears in five
of the seven threats.
382
00:16:03,540 --> 00:16:05,873
I'm certain I've heard
it before; I just...
383
00:16:05,875 --> 00:16:07,291
can't recall where.
384
00:16:07,293 --> 00:16:08,576
"On your beam ends."
385
00:16:08,578 --> 00:16:10,244
A nautical idiom
first documented
386
00:16:10,246 --> 00:16:12,630
in Captain Frederick
Marryat's 1830 novel
387
00:16:12,632 --> 00:16:14,298
The King's Own,
388
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:16,217
signifying a situation
of great peril.
389
00:16:16,219 --> 00:16:18,336
Strange for such
an aberrant phrase
390
00:16:18,338 --> 00:16:19,670
to appear so repeatedly.
391
00:16:19,672 --> 00:16:22,890
Are you seriously
going to make me ask?
392
00:16:22,892 --> 00:16:25,143
Ask what?
About your sponsor, Alfredo.
393
00:16:25,145 --> 00:16:26,811
Delightful fellow.
394
00:16:26,813 --> 00:16:28,312
He's agreed to meet us
both tomorrow for coffee.
395
00:16:28,314 --> 00:16:30,314
So we can get to
know one another.
396
00:16:30,316 --> 00:16:31,816
You don't approve?
397
00:16:31,818 --> 00:16:33,818
I'm just a little confused,
that's all.
398
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:35,236
I mean, you actually met Adrian.
399
00:16:35,238 --> 00:16:36,887
You talked to him
before you turned him down.
400
00:16:36,889 --> 00:16:39,607
You heard Alfredo speak
for 15 seconds.
401
00:16:39,609 --> 00:16:41,392
Oh, have you not
figured out by now
402
00:16:41,394 --> 00:16:44,162
that I see far more
than your average addict?
403
00:16:44,164 --> 00:16:45,896
My observational skills
are second to none.
404
00:16:45,898 --> 00:16:48,732
I know. I know that.
I just... I want to leave you
405
00:16:48,734 --> 00:16:51,035
in the best situation possible.
It's important to me.
406
00:16:51,037 --> 00:16:52,954
Got it.
Good. I'm glad.
407
00:16:52,956 --> 00:16:54,622
No. "On your beam ends""
408
00:16:54,624 --> 00:16:56,073
I've got it.
409
00:16:56,075 --> 00:16:59,043
I know where I was
when I heard it.
410
00:17:02,965 --> 00:17:04,265
That one.
411
00:17:04,267 --> 00:17:06,750
That's where I saw it,
weeks ago.
412
00:17:06,752 --> 00:17:09,303
But what was the context?
413
00:17:12,757 --> 00:17:14,108
Yellow cartoon sponge man,
414
00:17:14,110 --> 00:17:16,927
sports news,
mouthwash advert,
415
00:17:16,929 --> 00:17:17,783
Arctic Blue...
416
00:17:17,808 --> 00:17:19,097
You want to tell me
what you're doing?
417
00:17:19,098 --> 00:17:21,432
Uh, method of loci,
mnemonic device.
418
00:17:21,434 --> 00:17:24,118
Relies on memorized spatial
relationships to establish,
419
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:27,955
catalogue and recollect
memorial content.
420
00:17:29,124 --> 00:17:30,992
If I remember what was
on these six screens,
421
00:17:30,994 --> 00:17:34,078
I'll remember what
was on the seventh.
422
00:17:36,781 --> 00:17:39,617
Fat lady, new cookbook,
insufferable.
423
00:17:39,619 --> 00:17:41,802
Erectile dysfunction.
Nature program, penguins.
424
00:17:41,804 --> 00:17:44,505
And... talk show.
425
00:17:44,507 --> 00:17:47,725
The topic was...
international whaling laws.
426
00:17:47,727 --> 00:17:51,479
Two guests got into an argument.
427
00:17:58,487 --> 00:18:00,605
You are not seriously suggesting
428
00:18:00,607 --> 00:18:03,107
that cleaning out the
Pacific Ocean is a good idea.
429
00:18:03,109 --> 00:18:04,492
What do you suggest
we tell the Japanese worker
430
00:18:04,494 --> 00:18:05,960
whose livelihood
depends upon this trade?
431
00:18:05,962 --> 00:18:08,112
Just... you don't get it.
432
00:18:08,114 --> 00:18:10,981
One day 50 yrs from now,
when you're on your beam ends,
433
00:18:10,983 --> 00:18:13,701
you'll wish you'd done
more when you could have.
434
00:18:13,703 --> 00:18:16,003
That's the same bombast
435
00:18:16,005 --> 00:18:17,421
I read in the ELM letters.
436
00:18:17,423 --> 00:18:18,706
It's the same hyperbole.
437
00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:20,007
Same weird phrase.
438
00:18:20,009 --> 00:18:21,759
You really think it's him?
439
00:18:21,761 --> 00:18:23,327
I know a way to find out.
440
00:18:23,329 --> 00:18:25,179
I'm confused, Detective.
441
00:18:25,181 --> 00:18:28,849
You're accusing me of being
some sort of ecoterrorist?
442
00:18:28,851 --> 00:18:31,052
One of our special consultants
443
00:18:31,054 --> 00:18:34,055
thinks your speech pattern
is a match for these letters.
444
00:18:34,057 --> 00:18:35,773
For the last time,
445
00:18:35,775 --> 00:18:37,841
I have never seen
these letters before.
446
00:18:37,843 --> 00:18:40,177
I don't know anything
about the ELM,
447
00:18:40,179 --> 00:18:42,179
and I certainly didn't
build any bombs.
448
00:18:42,181 --> 00:18:45,416
Lie, lie and lie.
449
00:18:45,418 --> 00:18:46,951
Who the hell are you?
450
00:18:46,953 --> 00:18:49,070
I am the man with the button.
451
00:18:49,072 --> 00:18:50,955
It's from the elevator
down the hall.
452
00:18:50,957 --> 00:18:52,856
You pushed it
to get to this floor.
453
00:18:52,858 --> 00:18:54,858
As soon as you disembarked,
I removed it,
454
00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:57,194
and took it to the department's
latent print unit.
455
00:18:57,196 --> 00:18:59,330
It has your fingerprint
on it, you see.
456
00:18:59,332 --> 00:19:01,716
Which means it has
a great deal in common
457
00:19:01,718 --> 00:19:04,835
with a component
from a bomb the ELM detonated
458
00:19:04,837 --> 00:19:08,172
in a lumber mill
in Utica in 2005.
459
00:19:08,174 --> 00:19:11,008
Button... bomb.
460
00:19:11,010 --> 00:19:13,477
Button...
bomb.
461
00:19:13,479 --> 00:19:16,097
The similarities are quite
striking, wouldn't you agree?
462
00:19:16,099 --> 00:19:17,898
You built the ELM bombs,
Mr. Knowles.
463
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:19,517
And you wrote
those letters.
464
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:21,402
It's too bad you didn't
go back for the one
465
00:19:21,404 --> 00:19:23,821
you left at Vanowen S.C. when
you realized it was defective.
466
00:19:23,823 --> 00:19:26,324
Maybe you wouldn't be facing
two murder charges today.
467
00:19:28,393 --> 00:19:30,494
I bombed that lumber mill.
468
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:35,166
And I wrote these letters
to Vanowen S.C.
469
00:19:35,168 --> 00:19:37,451
But you know what I didn't do?
470
00:19:37,453 --> 00:19:38,836
Follow up on them.
471
00:19:38,838 --> 00:19:42,373
By 2008, I had
successfully detonated
472
00:19:42,375 --> 00:19:45,459
nitrate-based bombs at
five different companies.
473
00:19:45,461 --> 00:19:49,079
I was established,
and I was taken very seriously.
474
00:19:49,081 --> 00:19:52,299
Vanowen S.C. was one of
several dozen businesses
475
00:19:52,301 --> 00:19:54,418
I threatened but never bombed.
476
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:56,887
Why am I not surprised
you'd take credit
477
00:19:56,889 --> 00:19:58,589
for every bombing except
478
00:19:58,591 --> 00:20:01,776
the one that
killed two people?
479
00:20:01,778 --> 00:20:03,477
Was that you?
480
00:20:03,479 --> 00:20:05,312
Was what me?
481
00:20:08,367 --> 00:20:11,101
What did those balls
ever do to you?
482
00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:14,905
They're dying
for a good cause, Watson.
483
00:20:14,907 --> 00:20:17,541
Of course they are.
Ah!
484
00:20:19,211 --> 00:20:20,494
Did you know
485
00:20:20,496 --> 00:20:22,296
that when a bomb explodes,
486
00:20:22,298 --> 00:20:24,948
the component that houses
the fuel is often atomized?
487
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:27,802
Now, this can make it difficult,
if not downright impossible,
488
00:20:27,804 --> 00:20:30,638
to identify the device's
chemical composition.
489
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,057
The NYPD bomb squad
is currently struggling
490
00:20:33,059 --> 00:20:35,259
with this very conundrum,
so I thought I would help.
491
00:20:35,261 --> 00:20:37,678
With tennis balls?
I'm attempting to replicate
492
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,481
the odor and burn pattern
of the office bombing
493
00:20:40,483 --> 00:20:42,767
using a few of my own
concoctions, and these balls
494
00:20:42,769 --> 00:20:45,352
make the perfect
delivery mechanism.
495
00:20:57,784 --> 00:20:59,316
When Edgar Knowles was
arrested this afternoon,
496
00:20:59,318 --> 00:21:00,701
he confessed to setting off
497
00:21:00,703 --> 00:21:04,171
five nitrate-based bombs
at various businesses.
498
00:21:04,173 --> 00:21:06,090
No self-respecting eco-warrior
499
00:21:06,092 --> 00:21:09,260
would use toxic, man-made
chemicals in his bombs.
500
00:21:09,262 --> 00:21:12,096
He would use
natural ingredients.
501
00:21:12,098 --> 00:21:14,348
Smells like fertilizer.
502
00:21:14,350 --> 00:21:15,549
With good reason.
503
00:21:15,551 --> 00:21:17,551
Beyond its horticultural
employments,
504
00:21:17,553 --> 00:21:19,103
fertilizer can be
distilled down
505
00:21:19,105 --> 00:21:22,273
and mixed into a rather potent
nitrate accelerant.
506
00:21:22,275 --> 00:21:24,391
This ball is filled
with the stuff.
507
00:21:24,393 --> 00:21:27,561
If Knowles did try
to blow up Vanowen S.C.,
508
00:21:27,563 --> 00:21:29,947
he would have used nitrates,
and if he'd used nitrates,
509
00:21:29,949 --> 00:21:31,899
the bomb would have filled
the air with an odor
510
00:21:31,901 --> 00:21:33,734
as pungent
as it is distinctive,
511
00:21:33,736 --> 00:21:35,703
the same odor that
you're smelling right now.
512
00:21:35,705 --> 00:21:37,238
The thing is,
I didn't smell
513
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,956
any fertilizer
when we were there.
514
00:21:38,958 --> 00:21:40,791
I smelled something else.
515
00:21:40,793 --> 00:21:42,693
It was foreign to me
in the moment, but...
516
00:21:42,695 --> 00:21:44,411
I have managed to recreate it
with the help of
517
00:21:44,413 --> 00:21:46,530
my little
round friends here.
518
00:21:46,532 --> 00:21:48,466
I am now certain
that the bomb was made
519
00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:49,884
using potassium chlorate.
520
00:21:49,886 --> 00:21:51,252
It's an accelerant made of
521
00:21:51,254 --> 00:21:53,220
gasoline, bleach
and petroleum jelly.
522
00:21:53,222 --> 00:21:55,706
Are you saying that Edgar
Knowles was telling the truth
523
00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:57,808
when he told you that
he didn't build the bomb
524
00:21:57,810 --> 00:21:59,377
that exploded at Vanowen S.C.?
525
00:21:59,378 --> 00:22:00,766
I am.
526
00:22:00,791 --> 00:22:02,731
Well, if he didn't
build it, who did?
527
00:22:02,899 --> 00:22:05,733
Haven't the foggiest.
528
00:22:25,101 --> 00:22:26,302
Hey.
529
00:22:27,126 --> 00:22:29,632
Heard you were
looking for me?
530
00:22:29,633 --> 00:22:32,718
Yesterday, you gave us
Edgar Knowles on a silver platter.
531
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,720
Now you're telling me
532
00:22:34,722 --> 00:22:37,089
he did every bomb
except for the one
533
00:22:37,091 --> 00:22:38,840
- from two days ago?
- As I said before,
534
00:22:38,842 --> 00:22:41,226
that bomb was built using
potassium chlorate.
535
00:22:41,228 --> 00:22:43,512
Yeah, and Knowles only used
ones with cow manure.
536
00:22:43,514 --> 00:22:45,063
I heard you.
That's not enough.
537
00:22:45,065 --> 00:22:46,982
There's more.
I came in this morning
538
00:22:46,984 --> 00:22:49,351
to reexamine the bomb's components,
and I pieced together
539
00:22:49,353 --> 00:22:50,936
some of the strips
of packing paper
540
00:22:50,938 --> 00:22:52,487
that were used.
I managed to form
541
00:22:52,489 --> 00:22:54,740
almost a third of a page
of the October 13 edition
542
00:22:54,742 --> 00:22:56,141
of the New York Times.
543
00:22:56,143 --> 00:22:58,243
This particular clump
caught my eye.
544
00:22:58,245 --> 00:23:01,446
I saw small, almost
imperceptible indentations
545
00:23:01,448 --> 00:23:03,415
along the upper fringe.
546
00:23:03,417 --> 00:23:04,533
I don't see anything.
547
00:23:04,535 --> 00:23:06,368
You wouldn't.
548
00:23:06,370 --> 00:23:08,653
Well, most people
wouldn't, which is why
549
00:23:08,655 --> 00:23:11,089
I traced over it.
550
00:23:12,592 --> 00:23:14,009
The paper
that was used
551
00:23:14,011 --> 00:23:15,928
in the bomb was
beneath another piece
552
00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:17,596
of paper when
someone wrote that word.
553
00:23:17,598 --> 00:23:19,381
They pressed hard enough
to make indentations.
554
00:23:19,383 --> 00:23:20,716
Now, I already checked it
555
00:23:20,718 --> 00:23:22,000
against Edgar Knowles's
handwriting.
556
00:23:22,002 --> 00:23:23,001
It's not a match.
557
00:23:23,003 --> 00:23:24,136
All due respect,
Holmes.
558
00:23:24,138 --> 00:23:25,170
So what?
559
00:23:25,172 --> 00:23:26,838
Maybe he had help with the bomb.
560
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,056
Maybe that person wrote some
561
00:23:28,058 --> 00:23:29,841
weird note on top
of the newspaper.
562
00:23:29,843 --> 00:23:32,227
As I said previously, I believe
Edgar Knowles worked alone.
563
00:23:32,229 --> 00:23:34,313
And as I said previously,
I still like him
564
00:23:34,315 --> 00:23:36,732
for the last bomb.
565
00:23:36,734 --> 00:23:39,067
The threats against Vanowen
S.C. were never made public,
566
00:23:39,069 --> 00:23:40,485
which means, aside
from the police,
567
00:23:40,487 --> 00:23:41,987
the firm's employees
were the only ones
568
00:23:41,989 --> 00:23:43,288
who were aware of them.
569
00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:44,856
I'd like you to
request a subpoena
570
00:23:44,858 --> 00:23:46,158
of their personnel files
571
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,243
so that I can review them.
For what?
572
00:23:48,245 --> 00:23:50,078
Well, imagine you were a
disgruntled employee, hmm?
573
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,631
You want to strike out at the
company, but you don't want
574
00:23:52,633 --> 00:23:55,050
to get caught, so why not take
advantage of the ELM threats
575
00:23:55,052 --> 00:23:56,585
to plant a device
of your own, hmm?
576
00:23:56,587 --> 00:23:58,420
You get the blast,
they get the blame.
577
00:23:58,422 --> 00:23:59,421
No.
578
00:23:59,423 --> 00:24:00,422
No?
579
00:24:00,424 --> 00:24:01,757
No subpoena.
580
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:03,592
If you really want
to go poking around
581
00:24:03,594 --> 00:24:05,310
at Vanowen S.C.,
you're gonna have
582
00:24:05,312 --> 00:24:06,595
to take it up with them.
583
00:24:14,654 --> 00:24:17,555
I'm sure he's gonna
be here any second.
584
00:24:20,109 --> 00:24:22,727
I really like those...
585
00:24:22,729 --> 00:24:24,396
tattoos.
586
00:24:26,749 --> 00:24:29,401
You know, I'm just gonna text
him again and see where he is.
587
00:24:38,945 --> 00:24:41,746
I'm really sorry, Alfredo,
but it doesn't look
588
00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:44,249
like Sherlock is coming
and joining us today.
589
00:24:44,251 --> 00:24:45,801
Be patient.
590
00:24:45,803 --> 00:24:48,437
First rule
of good sponsorship.
591
00:24:48,439 --> 00:24:50,939
Newcomers like him
don't always understand
592
00:24:50,941 --> 00:24:52,424
the scope of the work involved.
593
00:24:52,426 --> 00:24:54,693
They get frustrated.
594
00:24:54,695 --> 00:24:56,594
We need to be patient
and methodical with him.
595
00:24:56,596 --> 00:24:58,263
I was under the impression
596
00:24:58,265 --> 00:25:00,282
that you'd never been
a sponsor before.
597
00:25:00,284 --> 00:25:01,533
I haven't.
598
00:25:01,535 --> 00:25:03,035
But I have a great one.
599
00:25:03,037 --> 00:25:05,037
Taught me
everything he knows.
600
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:08,957
Truth is, I've been wanting
to be a sponsor for a while now.
601
00:25:08,959 --> 00:25:11,109
People never ask.
602
00:25:11,111 --> 00:25:13,328
Think it's because I'm quiet.
603
00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:16,715
I can help your friend,
Miss Watson.
604
00:25:16,717 --> 00:25:19,801
He just needs
to give me the chance.
605
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:32,130
Doing okay?
606
00:25:32,132 --> 00:25:33,815
I am.
607
00:25:33,817 --> 00:25:36,768
And thank you again for allowing
me to peruse these files.
608
00:25:36,770 --> 00:25:39,137
Oh, it was
an easy decision to make.
609
00:25:39,139 --> 00:25:41,189
If you think there's
anyone here who has something
610
00:25:41,191 --> 00:25:44,309
against this company,
I would like to know.
611
00:25:46,863 --> 00:25:49,581
You're a fellow addict,
aren't you?
612
00:25:51,617 --> 00:25:53,201
Crosswords.
613
00:25:53,203 --> 00:25:54,619
You couldn't have
figured out those clues
614
00:25:54,621 --> 00:25:57,172
at my computer
the other day if you weren't.
615
00:25:57,174 --> 00:25:59,207
I dabble.
616
00:25:59,209 --> 00:26:01,760
Well, I wish I could say
I just dabbled.
617
00:26:01,762 --> 00:26:03,962
I used to have
my habit under control
618
00:26:03,964 --> 00:26:06,598
back when the papers
only issued one a day.
619
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,767
Ever since they put
the last 50 years
620
00:26:08,769 --> 00:26:11,303
of their archives online,
I'm a lost cause.
621
00:26:11,305 --> 00:26:14,189
It's a miracle I get
any work done at all.
622
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:17,275
You want sex?
623
00:26:17,277 --> 00:26:18,443
Excuse me?
624
00:26:18,445 --> 00:26:20,512
I'm not averse,
Ms. Vanowen.
625
00:26:20,514 --> 00:26:21,846
I'm just busy.
626
00:26:21,848 --> 00:26:24,366
Perhaps we could set
an appointment.
627
00:26:24,368 --> 00:26:26,368
You're flirting.
628
00:26:26,370 --> 00:26:27,953
This crossword talk.
629
00:26:27,955 --> 00:26:30,688
You find me attractive.
630
00:26:30,690 --> 00:26:33,575
The feeling is
mutual, mostly.
631
00:26:33,577 --> 00:26:35,360
The musculature
of your legs
632
00:26:35,362 --> 00:26:37,746
and your shoulders suggests
a certain elasticity I find
633
00:26:37,748 --> 00:26:40,198
quite tantalizing.
634
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,501
I must warn you, however,
a relationship between us
635
00:26:42,503 --> 00:26:44,536
could never go
beyond the physical.
636
00:26:45,922 --> 00:26:47,339
No offense to you, of course.
637
00:26:47,341 --> 00:26:49,508
It's just... not my way.
638
00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:51,209
Hey.
639
00:26:51,211 --> 00:26:52,928
Am I interrupting?
640
00:26:52,930 --> 00:26:54,513
Nope.
641
00:26:54,515 --> 00:26:56,681
Not even a little.
642
00:27:02,155 --> 00:27:04,322
Sorry I missed our
engagement, Watson.
643
00:27:04,324 --> 00:27:05,991
As you can see,
I'm investigating
644
00:27:05,993 --> 00:27:09,528
the possibility that a Vanowen
employee set the bomb.
645
00:27:09,530 --> 00:27:12,097
It's okay-- I told Alfredo
I'd be in touch, and that
646
00:27:12,099 --> 00:27:14,232
we could reschedule.
647
00:27:19,738 --> 00:27:21,573
Is that the whole piece?
Uh...
648
00:27:21,575 --> 00:27:22,791
Pradeep Singh.
649
00:27:22,793 --> 00:27:25,911
Hired as a copywriter
in December 2003.
650
00:27:25,913 --> 00:27:29,014
He was promoted to junior
associate in January 2007,
651
00:27:29,016 --> 00:27:31,416
senior associate
in June 2007,
652
00:27:31,418 --> 00:27:35,587
and finally associate
creative director in March 2008.
653
00:27:35,589 --> 00:27:37,222
I see here that he
was written up
654
00:27:37,224 --> 00:27:40,308
by the human resources
department on October 10, 2008
655
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:42,760
for engaging in a shouting match
with you, Mr. Wheeler.
656
00:27:42,762 --> 00:27:44,362
I see the
human resources' report,
657
00:27:44,364 --> 00:27:46,531
then nothing--
no more papers...
658
00:27:46,533 --> 00:27:47,782
Yes, that's because
his contract
659
00:27:47,784 --> 00:27:49,201
with this company
was terminated.
660
00:27:49,203 --> 00:27:50,569
Because he fought with you?
661
00:27:50,571 --> 00:27:52,037
Because he disappeared.
662
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:54,039
He came to work, left,
never came back.
663
00:27:54,041 --> 00:27:56,208
It was in all the
papers at the time.
664
00:27:56,210 --> 00:27:59,244
The police got involved,
never found him.
665
00:27:59,246 --> 00:28:01,630
May I ask what sparked
the disagreement between
666
00:28:01,632 --> 00:28:04,249
the two of you?
667
00:28:04,251 --> 00:28:06,718
Uh... Pradeep wasn't happy.
668
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,671
He was a model employee
at the beginning,
669
00:28:09,673 --> 00:28:11,172
but something changed him.
670
00:28:11,174 --> 00:28:13,341
He became-- I don't
know-- arrogant.
671
00:28:13,343 --> 00:28:15,777
He started talking about
how he wanted more power
672
00:28:15,779 --> 00:28:17,262
here at the company,
more control,
673
00:28:17,264 --> 00:28:18,897
and we gave it to him at first.
674
00:28:18,899 --> 00:28:20,415
I mean, Pradeep was
675
00:28:20,417 --> 00:28:21,816
a capable guy.
676
00:28:21,818 --> 00:28:23,235
Then it all changed
when he came in asking
677
00:28:23,237 --> 00:28:26,321
for his fourth raise
in 18 months.
678
00:28:26,323 --> 00:28:28,306
Well...
You told him enough was enough?
679
00:28:28,308 --> 00:28:30,025
No, that's when he snapped.
680
00:28:30,027 --> 00:28:32,327
He told me
I'd be sorry.
681
00:28:32,329 --> 00:28:34,029
And he worked here
for about another week,
682
00:28:34,031 --> 00:28:35,313
and after that, he was gone.
683
00:28:35,315 --> 00:28:37,499
Never saw
him again.
684
00:28:37,501 --> 00:28:39,517
Pradeep is dead.
685
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:40,919
He died in 2008.
686
00:28:40,921 --> 00:28:42,120
It was our understanding,
687
00:28:42,122 --> 00:28:45,056
Mrs. Singh, that he
was never found,
688
00:28:45,058 --> 00:28:46,591
alive or dead.
689
00:28:46,593 --> 00:28:50,262
My husband loved me very much,
just as I loved him.
690
00:28:50,264 --> 00:28:53,265
He never would run away.
691
00:28:53,267 --> 00:28:55,717
I held out hope for him
for quite some time,
692
00:28:55,719 --> 00:28:57,352
but eventually I had to accept
693
00:28:57,354 --> 00:28:59,554
that the only
possible explanation
694
00:28:59,556 --> 00:29:01,773
for his disappearance
was death.
695
00:29:01,775 --> 00:29:04,209
You think he was
a victim of foul play.
696
00:29:04,211 --> 00:29:07,646
If he had collapsed somewhere,
had a heart attack or a stroke,
697
00:29:07,648 --> 00:29:09,731
someone would have found him.
698
00:29:09,733 --> 00:29:11,616
Pradeep was murdered.
699
00:29:11,618 --> 00:29:14,185
Or he snapped-- planted
a bomb at his workplace,
700
00:29:14,187 --> 00:29:16,071
and then dropped off the grid
before it detonated.
701
00:29:16,073 --> 00:29:18,523
Do you have any idea
who might have wanted
702
00:29:18,525 --> 00:29:19,824
to hurt your husband?
703
00:29:19,826 --> 00:29:22,043
No.
704
00:29:22,045 --> 00:29:24,663
There was the one man
at his office he argued with
705
00:29:24,665 --> 00:29:26,414
a few days
before he vanished,
706
00:29:26,416 --> 00:29:28,366
but the police
were able to clear him.
707
00:29:28,368 --> 00:29:30,735
Other than that,
he had no enemies.
708
00:29:30,737 --> 00:29:32,337
He was a...
I'm just curious, Mrs. Singh.
709
00:29:32,339 --> 00:29:34,606
Have you had any work done
in this room since 2008?
710
00:29:34,608 --> 00:29:35,807
Work?
Remodeling,
711
00:29:35,809 --> 00:29:38,226
refurbishment, reconstruction.
712
00:29:38,228 --> 00:29:40,729
No, I haven't touched it
since Pradeep disappeared.
713
00:29:40,731 --> 00:29:42,597
Not even to address the mold
on the wall behind that cabinet?
714
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:44,899
How did you...
715
00:29:44,901 --> 00:29:46,935
The nose knows.
716
00:29:46,937 --> 00:29:49,688
Might we take a look
in your backyard?
717
00:29:49,690 --> 00:29:50,989
Why?
718
00:29:50,991 --> 00:29:53,174
Formality.
719
00:30:00,466 --> 00:30:02,450
Actually, I think I'll just use
your facilities first.
720
00:30:02,452 --> 00:30:04,252
I think I had a dodgy egg.
721
00:30:04,254 --> 00:30:06,454
I'll join you presently.
722
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,445
It did.
723
00:31:03,447 --> 00:31:05,730
It was nice to be
out in the country.
724
00:31:08,684 --> 00:31:10,185
Would you excuse
us a moment?
725
00:31:10,187 --> 00:31:12,437
Sure.
Excuse me.
726
00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:16,241
Mrs. Singh was right--
her husband is dead.
727
00:31:16,243 --> 00:31:17,976
He has been for
quite some time.
728
00:31:17,978 --> 00:31:20,078
What are you talking about?
The photograph at the end
729
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,496
of the mantelpiece,
it shows Pradeep and Mrs. Singh
730
00:31:21,498 --> 00:31:22,814
sitting on the sofa.
It was taken
731
00:31:22,816 --> 00:31:24,416
in the same room
that we were sitting in.
732
00:31:24,418 --> 00:31:26,201
I noticed several discrepancies
between the wall
733
00:31:26,203 --> 00:31:28,720
in the photograph and the one
that we were facing.
734
00:31:28,722 --> 00:31:31,539
The spacing between
the paintings was all wrong.
735
00:31:31,541 --> 00:31:32,957
In the photograph,
736
00:31:32,959 --> 00:31:34,209
they were approximately
18 centimeters apart.
737
00:31:34,211 --> 00:31:36,494
In the room, 12 centimeters.
738
00:31:36,496 --> 00:31:38,847
There also hang lower now
by about ten centimeters.
739
00:31:38,849 --> 00:31:40,298
Someone took
them all down,
740
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:41,683
put them
back up again,
741
00:31:41,685 --> 00:31:42,834
didn't get the
measurements right.
742
00:31:42,836 --> 00:31:44,385
So, Himali moved them?
743
00:31:44,387 --> 00:31:46,671
She says she hasn't had any work
done in that room,
744
00:31:46,673 --> 00:31:48,523
and when I took the frames
off the wall,
745
00:31:48,525 --> 00:31:50,842
I saw that she was right--
there's no old nail holes
746
00:31:50,844 --> 00:31:52,644
that correspond to the frames'
original arrangement.
747
00:31:52,646 --> 00:31:55,012
There is, however,
a slight bulge.
748
00:31:55,014 --> 00:31:56,364
Bulge?
749
00:31:56,366 --> 00:31:58,066
The center
of the wall is almost
750
00:31:58,068 --> 00:31:59,350
imperceptibly convex.
751
00:31:59,352 --> 00:32:01,453
Why? Because the gasses released
752
00:32:01,455 --> 00:32:03,187
from Pradeep Singh's
decomposing body
753
00:32:03,189 --> 00:32:05,523
expanded the plastic sheeting
that he's wrapped in,
754
00:32:05,525 --> 00:32:06,574
pushing outwards.
755
00:32:06,576 --> 00:32:08,126
Wait a second.
756
00:32:08,128 --> 00:32:10,462
Are you telling me that Pradeep
is in that wall?
757
00:32:10,464 --> 00:32:12,163
That would explain
the mold, too.
758
00:32:12,165 --> 00:32:14,749
No.
His killer removed insulation
759
00:32:14,751 --> 00:32:16,050
to make space for his body.
760
00:32:16,052 --> 00:32:17,919
This created
a temperature differential
761
00:32:17,921 --> 00:32:20,255
between that section and the
others, condensation formed...
762
00:32:20,257 --> 00:32:21,973
Then mold.
Mmm.
763
00:32:21,975 --> 00:32:24,476
Four years ago,
Pradeep's murderer tore down
764
00:32:24,478 --> 00:32:26,427
that section of wall,
stashed him inside,
765
00:32:26,429 --> 00:32:28,680
and replaced
and repainted the drywall.
766
00:32:28,682 --> 00:32:30,214
Are you sure?
767
00:32:30,216 --> 00:32:32,567
I'm fairly sure.
768
00:32:42,469 --> 00:32:44,839
Himali Singh didn't kill
her husband.
769
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,400
ICE confirms she was in Mumbai
770
00:32:46,401 --> 00:32:48,885
visiting family during
most of October '08.
771
00:32:48,887 --> 00:32:50,219
She didn't even come home
772
00:32:50,221 --> 00:32:52,822
until she learned
Pradeep was missing.
773
00:32:52,824 --> 00:32:54,074
Whoever murdered Pradeep
at home,
774
00:32:54,076 --> 00:32:56,243
they knew that
his wife was out of town.
775
00:32:56,245 --> 00:32:58,895
Her trip would've provided
the privacy and time
776
00:32:58,897 --> 00:33:00,697
to kill him
and stash him away.
777
00:33:00,699 --> 00:33:02,282
Maybe Singh had a
coconspirator,
778
00:33:02,284 --> 00:33:03,733
someone he built
the bomb with.
779
00:33:03,735 --> 00:33:05,285
Things went south...
Mmm.
780
00:33:05,287 --> 00:33:06,753
That's a reasonable
theory, Captain.
781
00:33:06,755 --> 00:33:09,089
Problem is,
I no longer think
782
00:33:09,091 --> 00:33:11,908
that Pradeep had anything
to do with it.
783
00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:14,311
What's that--
company newsletter?
784
00:33:14,313 --> 00:33:15,845
Now, that is
Pradeep's desk.
785
00:33:15,847 --> 00:33:17,564
That is the air vent
in which the bomb
786
00:33:17,566 --> 00:33:19,299
was concealed,
right next to him.
787
00:33:19,301 --> 00:33:22,519
Now, if that had gone off
when it was supposed to in 2008,
788
00:33:22,521 --> 00:33:23,920
it would have turned
him into so much
789
00:33:23,922 --> 00:33:25,639
newly promoted
hamburger.
790
00:33:25,641 --> 00:33:28,441
Vanowen S.C.'s personnel files
showed that he did not miss
791
00:33:28,443 --> 00:33:31,828
a single day's work until the
moment that he left for good.
792
00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:33,363
That means he spent
almost a week
793
00:33:33,365 --> 00:33:35,615
in the early part
of October 2008
794
00:33:35,617 --> 00:33:37,117
sitting within
spitting distance
795
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:38,735
of a live
explosive device.
796
00:33:38,737 --> 00:33:41,154
You think it was
meant for him.
797
00:33:41,156 --> 00:33:44,624
Well, it is abundantly clear
someone wanted Pradeep dead.
798
00:33:44,626 --> 00:33:46,209
The question is,
799
00:33:46,211 --> 00:33:49,779
who would be willing to go
to such lengths and why?
800
00:33:49,781 --> 00:33:51,614
M.E. confirms
Pradeep Singh
801
00:33:51,616 --> 00:33:53,282
was killed
by a gunshot wound
802
00:33:53,284 --> 00:33:54,450
to the chest.
803
00:33:54,452 --> 00:33:55,802
Death was followed
by, and I quote,
804
00:33:55,804 --> 00:33:57,420
"pervasive
mummification""
805
00:33:57,422 --> 00:33:59,639
That's everything we
found in his pockets.
806
00:33:59,641 --> 00:34:01,641
It's kind of weird-- there's
a key on the key chain
807
00:34:01,643 --> 00:34:03,292
with a button to
unlock a car door,
808
00:34:03,294 --> 00:34:06,129
but it's definitely
not a car key.
809
00:34:06,131 --> 00:34:09,149
No, that is
a safety-deposit box key.
810
00:34:09,151 --> 00:34:10,934
You can tell by the teeth.
811
00:34:15,806 --> 00:34:19,159
S.L.B.
812
00:34:19,161 --> 00:34:21,494
Sequoia Liberty Bank?
813
00:34:21,496 --> 00:34:23,863
Box number 699.
814
00:34:29,420 --> 00:34:31,237
Huh.
815
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,006
Cheech and Chong's
Next Movie?
816
00:34:33,008 --> 00:34:34,624
Well, it's not a good movie,
817
00:34:34,626 --> 00:34:37,344
but it didn't make me want
to commit a homicide.
818
00:34:38,796 --> 00:34:40,797
Hmm, the movie is gone.
819
00:34:40,799 --> 00:34:42,132
You see this slot here?
820
00:34:42,134 --> 00:34:43,216
That's there to stop you
821
00:34:43,218 --> 00:34:44,684
from recording
over the tape.
822
00:34:44,686 --> 00:34:46,970
You put Scotch tape there,
it allows you to do so.
823
00:34:46,972 --> 00:34:50,890
Now all we got to do is
find a VCR... in 2012.
824
00:34:50,892 --> 00:34:52,892
Have you not been to my home
yet, Detective Bell?
825
00:34:52,894 --> 00:34:55,145
I maintain several VCRs.
826
00:34:57,514 --> 00:34:59,616
I like to watch
police interrogations
827
00:34:59,618 --> 00:35:01,350
from the '70s and '80s.
828
00:35:01,352 --> 00:35:04,120
Techniques were rawer
back then, and, uh, you do,
829
00:35:04,122 --> 00:35:06,206
on occasion, learn
something useful.
830
00:35:06,208 --> 00:35:07,624
Oh.
831
00:35:07,626 --> 00:35:09,376
This is one of my CIs;
I've been waiting
832
00:35:09,378 --> 00:35:10,744
to hear from him
on another case.
833
00:35:10,746 --> 00:35:12,062
You mind if I take this
in private?
834
00:35:12,064 --> 00:35:13,830
My parlor is at your disposal.
835
00:35:13,832 --> 00:35:15,915
What up, Carlo?
836
00:35:15,917 --> 00:35:17,717
Mm-hmm.
837
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,038
So, listen, I texted Alfredo,
and we're all set for tomorrow.
838
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,890
Coffee at 9:00.
839
00:35:23,892 --> 00:35:27,143
Alfredo, yeah, uh, I don't think
that's going to work out.
840
00:35:27,145 --> 00:35:28,878
Spark's no longer there.
841
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,648
I think I'm going to have
to seek sponsorship elsewhere.
842
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:33,817
What are you talking about?
You hand-picked him.
843
00:35:33,819 --> 00:35:36,152
Hmm, we can do better.
844
00:35:39,490 --> 00:35:41,357
Is this about us?
845
00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:43,243
Is what about us?
Your reluctance to find a sponsor.
846
00:35:43,245 --> 00:35:45,245
I'm starting to think
you're being difficult
847
00:35:45,247 --> 00:35:46,913
because you don't want me
to leave.
848
00:35:46,915 --> 00:35:48,415
You never told me
you were funny.
849
00:35:48,417 --> 00:35:49,532
You picked Alfredo
because you thought
850
00:35:49,534 --> 00:35:51,234
I wasn't gonna like him,
851
00:35:51,236 --> 00:35:53,169
but now that I do, you're trying
to push him away, too.
852
00:35:53,171 --> 00:35:54,871
Okay, what you're
feeling right now--
853
00:35:54,873 --> 00:35:56,539
I've seen
it before.
854
00:35:56,541 --> 00:35:57,841
Clients start
to worry about what
855
00:35:57,843 --> 00:35:59,342
their lives
are going to be like
856
00:35:59,344 --> 00:36:00,710
after their
companion leaves.
857
00:36:00,712 --> 00:36:02,595
They kind of get a
separation anxiety.
858
00:36:02,597 --> 00:36:04,180
It's pretty standard, actually.
859
00:36:04,182 --> 00:36:06,015
I guess, since you've never
been anything
860
00:36:06,017 --> 00:36:07,934
but opposed to me
being here, it...
861
00:36:07,936 --> 00:36:11,521
it never occurred to me
that you might feel it, too.
862
00:36:11,523 --> 00:36:13,189
I don't know what you're on,
863
00:36:13,191 --> 00:36:15,275
but old me would definitely
have wanted some.
864
00:36:15,277 --> 00:36:17,727
Listen, I am...
You're back. Excellent.
865
00:36:32,626 --> 00:36:34,277
Hey, is that Pradeep?
866
00:36:34,279 --> 00:36:35,628
He looks about...
867
00:36:35,630 --> 00:36:36,813
25 years old there.
868
00:36:36,815 --> 00:36:38,448
Hey, sweetie.
869
00:36:38,450 --> 00:36:40,183
I'm so glad we finally
got to have this date.
870
00:36:40,185 --> 00:36:41,935
Me, too.
You ready to party?
871
00:36:41,937 --> 00:36:43,720
Yes.
She's a prostitute.
872
00:36:43,722 --> 00:36:45,488
That's interesting.
873
00:36:45,490 --> 00:36:47,390
High-end, by
the looks of it.
874
00:36:50,494 --> 00:36:53,813
You want to help me with this?
Sure.
875
00:36:57,134 --> 00:36:59,602
Hello, Ms. Vanowen.
876
00:37:05,609 --> 00:37:07,810
Well, we can keep watching
if you'd both like,
877
00:37:07,812 --> 00:37:10,446
but I'd say we've
found our bomber.
878
00:37:15,619 --> 00:37:19,255
All this just so you can
ask me a few questions?
879
00:37:19,257 --> 00:37:23,209
Just a consent form, ma'am.
Standard procedure.
880
00:37:23,211 --> 00:37:26,846
So, now you want to tell me
what this is all about?
881
00:37:26,848 --> 00:37:30,333
Hey, sweetie. I'm so glad we
finally got to have this date.
882
00:37:30,335 --> 00:37:31,718
Me, too.
Ready to party?
883
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:33,169
Yes.
Good.
884
00:37:33,171 --> 00:37:35,504
I'm sorry. Was that
supposed to be me?
885
00:37:35,506 --> 00:37:37,273
I've learned
since we spoke
886
00:37:37,275 --> 00:37:39,776
that you come from
modest origins.
887
00:37:39,778 --> 00:37:42,478
Father a contractor,
mother a homemaker.
888
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,847
So, when you got
into business school,
889
00:37:44,849 --> 00:37:46,165
you needed
a source of income.
890
00:37:46,167 --> 00:37:47,867
Something to pay
your tuition
891
00:37:47,869 --> 00:37:51,037
and provide you with
seed money for your company.
892
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:53,456
You turned,
in your hour of need,
893
00:37:53,458 --> 00:37:55,708
to the world's
oldest profession.
894
00:37:55,710 --> 00:37:59,245
Took to it with
some gusto, I'd say.
895
00:37:59,247 --> 00:38:02,632
Okay, please turn this off.
896
00:38:02,634 --> 00:38:05,885
You built a successful
new life for yourself
897
00:38:05,887 --> 00:38:09,389
on the ashes of your old one,
and no one was any the wiser.
898
00:38:09,391 --> 00:38:14,010
Until Pradeep Singh
got a job at Vanowen.
899
00:38:14,012 --> 00:38:16,012
It probably took him
a while to realize
900
00:38:16,014 --> 00:38:18,064
that his new boss
was one of the women
901
00:38:18,066 --> 00:38:20,099
that he had secretly
recorded years ago,
902
00:38:20,101 --> 00:38:23,186
but when he did,
he turned the screw.
903
00:38:23,188 --> 00:38:25,355
So to speak.
904
00:38:25,357 --> 00:38:27,490
Mmm. Three promotions in a year?
905
00:38:27,492 --> 00:38:29,558
That smells like a payoff to me.
906
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,279
No. I promoted Pradeep
because he deserved it.
907
00:38:33,281 --> 00:38:36,783
Small confession;
908
00:38:36,785 --> 00:38:39,068
I find the anti-
prostitution laws
909
00:38:39,070 --> 00:38:40,736
in this country
rather Victorian.
910
00:38:40,738 --> 00:38:42,255
Sex is a commodity.
911
00:38:42,257 --> 00:38:44,457
Why shouldn't there
be a market for it?
912
00:38:44,459 --> 00:38:47,377
But, of course,
not everyone thinks like I do.
913
00:38:47,379 --> 00:38:49,245
Which is why
914
00:38:49,247 --> 00:38:51,414
you had to pay Pradeep
until his demands
915
00:38:51,416 --> 00:38:54,583
escalated past the point
that you could meet them.
916
00:38:54,585 --> 00:38:57,887
Then you cast about
for a way to kill him.
917
00:38:59,273 --> 00:39:02,591
Now, you already had threatening
letters from the ELM.
918
00:39:02,593 --> 00:39:05,428
So you built a pipe bomb,
planning to blame them.
919
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:06,813
But when it didn't detonate,
920
00:39:06,815 --> 00:39:09,482
you simply shot Pradeep
and walled him off.
921
00:39:09,484 --> 00:39:11,200
I imagine it was your father
922
00:39:11,202 --> 00:39:13,569
who taught you
how to hang drywall.
923
00:39:15,122 --> 00:39:18,308
That's very creative,
I'll give you that much.
924
00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:21,244
Can he just sling mud at me
like this?
925
00:39:21,246 --> 00:39:23,579
You can seek counsel
at any time, ma'am.
926
00:39:23,581 --> 00:39:25,131
Hardly surprising
that you were the one
927
00:39:25,133 --> 00:39:27,450
to lead the search for new
offices for Vanowen S.C.
928
00:39:27,452 --> 00:39:28,951
You were, after all,
the only person who knew
929
00:39:28,953 --> 00:39:30,169
that there was an
unexploded bomb in the wall.
930
00:39:30,171 --> 00:39:32,088
You know what?
931
00:39:32,090 --> 00:39:35,174
I think I will
actually call my lawyer.
932
00:39:35,176 --> 00:39:36,509
Well, if you do,
Ms. Vanowen,
933
00:39:36,511 --> 00:39:37,894
you might want
to tell him
934
00:39:37,896 --> 00:39:39,729
you're about
to be arrested.
935
00:39:41,131 --> 00:39:43,966
You have an old videotape
and some stupid theories.
936
00:39:43,968 --> 00:39:45,151
This is not evidence.
937
00:39:45,153 --> 00:39:46,736
Yes, well,
I found something
938
00:39:46,738 --> 00:39:48,438
on one of the
scraps of paper
939
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,906
that was used to
pack the bomb.
940
00:39:49,908 --> 00:39:51,807
An imprint of the
word "Novocain""
941
00:39:51,809 --> 00:39:53,660
Useful handwriting sample,
942
00:39:53,662 --> 00:39:55,778
but the message itself,
rather opaque.
943
00:39:55,780 --> 00:39:58,865
Until one considers your love
of crosswords. Novocain.
944
00:39:58,867 --> 00:40:00,816
The answer to 144 across
945
00:40:00,818 --> 00:40:02,985
from the New York Times
crossword,
946
00:40:02,987 --> 00:40:04,587
October 13, 2008.
947
00:40:04,589 --> 00:40:07,123
The clue was "pain's enemy""
in case you forgot.
948
00:40:07,125 --> 00:40:09,342
Now, Detective Bell and the
Questioned Documents Unit
949
00:40:09,344 --> 00:40:11,777
have just matched it to a
handwriting sample you gave us
950
00:40:11,877 --> 00:40:13,927
when you signed
your consent form.
951
00:40:15,016 --> 00:40:18,601
Mmm. Detective Bell,
the honor is all yours.
952
00:40:18,603 --> 00:40:21,721
Ms. Vanowen, would you
face that way, please?
953
00:40:23,340 --> 00:40:25,274
You are under arrest
for the bombing
954
00:40:25,276 --> 00:40:27,894
that took the lives
of David Preston and Roy Smalls.
955
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,654
This is a surprise.
956
00:40:38,656 --> 00:40:40,406
I was on my way over
to show you something,
957
00:40:40,408 --> 00:40:41,708
then I got your message.
958
00:40:41,710 --> 00:40:44,377
Yeah, well... nothing personal.
959
00:40:44,379 --> 00:40:46,796
I don't take it
personal. It's okay.
960
00:40:46,798 --> 00:40:48,548
But since I'm here...
961
00:40:50,250 --> 00:40:52,618
Ever since I got
straightened out,
962
00:40:52,620 --> 00:40:54,703
I've been picking up
work with car companies.
963
00:40:54,705 --> 00:40:56,372
I test their
security systems.
964
00:40:56,374 --> 00:40:58,874
I guess they figure anything
that can keep me out
965
00:40:58,876 --> 00:41:00,727
is good enough for
their customers.
966
00:41:00,729 --> 00:41:03,479
My last job just came in.
967
00:41:03,481 --> 00:41:05,648
Miss Watson tells me that
you're into lock-picking.
968
00:41:05,650 --> 00:41:07,934
I figure maybe you
want to give it a shot.
969
00:41:07,936 --> 00:41:09,602
Well, the truth is, Alfredo,
970
00:41:09,604 --> 00:41:12,071
I'm already quite adept
at defeating security systems.
971
00:41:12,073 --> 00:41:14,557
This stuff's not even
on the market yet.
972
00:41:14,559 --> 00:41:16,192
So, really...
973
00:41:16,194 --> 00:41:18,411
how would you know
if you could beat it?
974
00:41:25,836 --> 00:41:28,838
You know
you want to try.
975
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,706
Obviously your idea.
976
00:41:30,708 --> 00:41:32,759
Zeroing in on
common ground.
977
00:41:32,761 --> 00:41:35,178
Hoping it's enough
to make me reconsider him.
978
00:41:35,180 --> 00:41:36,912
It won't be.
979
00:41:36,914 --> 00:41:40,049
What's the harm in getting
to know the guy?
980
00:41:41,935 --> 00:41:43,319
One way or the other,
981
00:41:43,321 --> 00:41:45,855
I'm gonna be out
of your life in a few weeks.
982
00:41:46,774 --> 00:41:48,591
Maybe you're
dreading that day;
983
00:41:48,593 --> 00:41:51,294
maybe you're counting
the seconds.
984
00:41:51,296 --> 00:41:53,596
Either way,
I'm going to make sure
985
00:41:53,598 --> 00:41:56,783
you're ready
when the time comes.
986
00:41:56,785 --> 00:41:58,201
I promise.
987
00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:04,940
If I help him
with his assignment,
988
00:42:04,942 --> 00:42:07,493
it does not mean I am assenting
to his sponsorship.
989
00:42:07,495 --> 00:42:08,661
Of course it doesn't.
990
00:42:08,663 --> 00:42:10,630
I am quite self-sufficient.
991
00:42:10,632 --> 00:42:12,799
Of course you are.
992
00:42:28,262 --> 00:42:29,863
Factory-installed
immobilizer
993
00:42:29,865 --> 00:42:32,031
or after-market
tracking system?
994
00:42:32,033 --> 00:42:33,983
Not telling.
995
00:42:36,237 --> 00:42:37,603
That's quite all right.
996
00:42:37,605 --> 00:42:41,107
I'll just figure it out
for myself.
997
00:42:42,516 --> 00:42:44,182
I'm entirely
self-sufficient, you know.
998
