1
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,541
Don't you ever get tired
of this memory game?
2
00:00:12,543 --> 00:00:15,110
You do it every morning.
The mind is a muscle, Watson.
3
00:00:15,112 --> 00:00:18,280
It needs to be exercised
regularly lest it turn flabby.
4
00:00:18,282 --> 00:00:20,416
Most people
just read a book.
5
00:00:20,418 --> 00:00:22,085
I am reading a book.
6
00:00:22,087 --> 00:00:24,137
Well, do you mind
turning it off for a minute?
7
00:00:24,139 --> 00:00:26,306
I want to finish our
conversation from last night.
8
00:00:29,093 --> 00:00:30,810
Okay, I meant
all of them.
9
00:00:30,812 --> 00:00:32,812
Absorbing and cataloguing
several pieces of information
10
00:00:32,814 --> 00:00:35,131
at the same time
is the whole point.
11
00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:37,066
Talk away.
12
00:00:37,068 --> 00:00:39,319
Okay, well, then I want us
to get more serious
13
00:00:39,321 --> 00:00:40,803
about finding a sponsor.
14
00:00:40,805 --> 00:00:43,472
Why do I need a sponsor
when I have a companion?
15
00:00:43,474 --> 00:00:45,491
Because you only have me
for a few more weeks.
16
00:00:45,493 --> 00:00:47,493
A sponsor is permanent,
someone who's...
17
00:00:47,495 --> 00:00:49,245
struggled with their
own addictions
18
00:00:49,247 --> 00:00:51,614
and is gonna offer you
lifelong support and advice,
19
00:00:51,616 --> 00:00:53,082
which is what you need.
20
00:00:54,451 --> 00:00:57,036
The drugs that I took
seemed to light up my brain.
21
00:00:57,038 --> 00:00:58,838
Suddenly I realized
22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,824
the power I held,
the power to rule,
23
00:01:01,826 --> 00:01:04,594
to make the world grovel
at my feet.
24
00:01:07,849 --> 00:01:10,833
The drugs I took seemed
to light up my brain.
25
00:01:10,835 --> 00:01:14,170
Suddenly I realized
the power I held,
26
00:01:14,172 --> 00:01:15,605
the power to rule,
27
00:01:15,607 --> 00:01:18,524
to make the world grovel
at my feet.
28
00:01:18,526 --> 00:01:20,143
Okay.
29
00:01:20,145 --> 00:01:22,344
Well, I know someone
who might be a good fit for you.
30
00:01:22,346 --> 00:01:23,646
I've worked with him before.
31
00:01:23,648 --> 00:01:25,198
Let's have coffee
with him, okay?
32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,984
If I needed a sponsor,
that would sound delightful.
33
00:01:27,986 --> 00:01:30,903
I don't. Just like I didn't
need a sober companion.
34
00:01:30,905 --> 00:01:32,205
And you didn't need rehab
35
00:01:32,207 --> 00:01:33,723
and you didn't
need drug counseling
36
00:01:33,725 --> 00:01:35,408
and you didn't need
any help of any kind.
37
00:01:35,410 --> 00:01:37,627
I know.
38
00:01:37,629 --> 00:01:39,829
It's just coffee.
39
00:01:40,697 --> 00:01:42,331
Sherlock.
Fine. I'll go.
40
00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:44,634
Provided I can get some peace
and quiet around here.
41
00:01:51,009 --> 00:01:53,476
We completely
understand, Mr. McKeon.
42
00:01:53,478 --> 00:01:54,543
Fluid layout.
43
00:01:54,545 --> 00:01:56,179
No, we-we agree, uh...
44
00:01:56,181 --> 00:01:59,399
grid-based design, it's gone
the way of the dinosaur.
45
00:01:59,401 --> 00:02:01,784
Will do.
46
00:02:01,786 --> 00:02:04,053
All right. Take care.
47
00:02:04,055 --> 00:02:06,823
Our favorite client's
still wringing his hands?
48
00:02:06,825 --> 00:02:08,441
Guy just does not get
Web design.
49
00:02:08,443 --> 00:02:11,744
'Course, he's like 45
or something.
50
00:02:16,617 --> 00:02:18,067
Is that you?
51
00:02:18,069 --> 00:02:20,002
No.
52
00:02:23,257 --> 00:02:25,875
I think it's coming
from inside the vent.
53
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:35,051
Yeah, repair guy must have
dropped his phone or something.
54
00:02:35,053 --> 00:02:37,386
That's going
to make us crazy.
55
00:02:37,388 --> 00:02:39,639

All they know

the bomb was stashed

I imagine you won't miss this
when you're gone.
75
00:04:12,806 --> 00:04:15,441
In a few weeks,
you'll be with your new client.
76
00:04:15,443 --> 00:04:18,578
No more crime scenes,
no more death and destruction.

Most dangerous place you'll go

you're right, I'm not gonna
miss seeing this stuff.
81
00:04:40,934 --> 00:04:43,669
You see this?
82
00:04:43,671 --> 00:04:44,854
That's packing paper.
83
00:04:44,856 --> 00:04:46,889
It's used to fill the gap
84
00:04:46,891 --> 00:04:49,275
between the fuel and the
blast cap on a pipe bomb.
85
00:04:49,277 --> 00:04:51,177
When the bomb detonates,
86
00:04:51,179 --> 00:04:52,945
this paper is ejected
through the barrel
87
00:04:52,947 --> 00:04:54,864
before it has time
to fully combust.
88
00:04:54,866 --> 00:04:58,017
Now, weapons-grade munitions
uses pulp filler,
89
00:04:58,019 --> 00:05:00,186
not newspaper.
90
00:05:00,188 --> 00:05:01,954
The bomb squad
said the same thing.
91
00:05:01,956 --> 00:05:03,239
We're already
running a check
92
00:05:03,241 --> 00:05:04,791
on recent
commercial burglaries
93
00:05:04,793 --> 00:05:07,126
to see if
anyone's missing
94
00:05:07,128 --> 00:05:11,547
any flammable chemicals
or gunpowder.
95
00:05:11,549 --> 00:05:13,532
You got something?
96
00:05:13,534 --> 00:05:15,501
Motherboard.
97
00:05:15,503 --> 00:05:17,587
You know this is
a computer company, right?
98
00:05:17,589 --> 00:05:19,388
Well, that's just it, Detective.
99
00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:21,090
This is not from a computer.
100
00:05:21,092 --> 00:05:22,508
It's from a pager.
101
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:24,177
Note the presence of a receiver
102
00:05:24,179 --> 00:05:26,312
but the absence
of a transmitter.
103
00:05:27,547 --> 00:05:29,432
What's it doing here?
104
00:05:29,434 --> 00:05:31,818
Pre-explosion, this place looked
like the deck of a starship.
105
00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:33,519
It's unlikely any of
the firm's employees
106
00:05:33,521 --> 00:05:36,772
would use technology
as antiquated as a pager.
107
00:05:36,774 --> 00:05:38,574
You're saying
it's part of the bomb?
108
00:05:38,576 --> 00:05:41,227
I'm saying this may be
the bomb's detonator.
109
00:05:41,229 --> 00:05:43,395
The good news is, if it's
not too badly damaged,
110
00:05:43,397 --> 00:05:45,665
you'll be able to trace
the account.
111
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:48,751
I'll get this
to tech assist right away.
112
00:05:48,753 --> 00:05:51,420
I'll let you know
when we hear something.
113
00:05:51,422 --> 00:05:53,256
If the motherboard
is still functional, how long
114
00:05:53,258 --> 00:05:55,508
do you think it's gonna take
the police to get a number?
115
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:57,710
Two, maybe three hours. Why?
116
00:05:59,296 --> 00:06:00,880
The sponsor's name is Adrian,
117
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:02,965
and he works on the floor
of the stock exchange.
118
00:06:02,967 --> 00:06:04,133
Good thinking, Watson.
119
00:06:04,135 --> 00:06:05,718
You know how much
I enjoy bankers.
120
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,053
Glad to see
you've been paying attention
121
00:06:07,055 --> 00:06:08,437
over the last few weeks.
122
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:10,723
Actually, he's an officer
with the SEC.
123
00:06:10,725 --> 00:06:13,109
So he spends his days
keeping bankers in line.
124
00:06:13,111 --> 00:06:16,362
He also spent four years at
the London School of Economics,
125
00:06:16,364 --> 00:06:18,597
so he knows
your old stomping grounds.
126
00:06:18,599 --> 00:06:20,983
You think I'd just pick any name
out of a hat? Oh, there he is.
127
00:06:20,985 --> 00:06:22,952
Hey, Adrian.
128
00:06:22,954 --> 00:06:25,788
Hi. Adrian, Sherlock.
129
00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:27,740
Pleasure.
130
00:06:29,826 --> 00:06:32,111
Well, you guys talk.
131
00:06:32,113 --> 00:06:34,413
I'll be over there
when you're ready.
132
00:06:38,218 --> 00:06:39,919
A hypothetical, Adrian.
133
00:06:39,921 --> 00:06:41,587
I call you in the middle
of the night,
134
00:06:41,589 --> 00:06:42,922
I tell you that I'm thinking
of using again,
135
00:06:42,924 --> 00:06:44,456
and that if I don't,
I might die.
136
00:06:44,458 --> 00:06:45,675
How do you respond?
137
00:06:45,677 --> 00:06:47,426
Well, Sherlock,
I think I'd start
138
00:06:47,428 --> 00:06:49,845
by reminding you, you got
to take it one day at a time,
139
00:06:49,847 --> 00:06:51,597
and that every clean
day is a victory.
140
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:53,849
I call you and tell you
that an enemy has poisoned me
141
00:06:53,851 --> 00:06:55,484
with a powerful
neuroleptic agent.
142
00:06:55,486 --> 00:06:57,687
The only antidote is a
healthy dose of diphenhydramine,
143
00:06:57,689 --> 00:06:58,971
of which I have plenty.
144
00:06:58,973 --> 00:07:00,489
Do you advise me to take it?
145
00:07:00,491 --> 00:07:01,824
Diphen...
146
00:07:01,826 --> 00:07:03,276
Diphenhydramine.
147
00:07:04,494 --> 00:07:05,945
You find
murder-by-poisoning humorous?
148
00:07:05,947 --> 00:07:07,479
No, of course not. I just...
149
00:07:07,481 --> 00:07:09,498
The diphenhydramine,
Adrian, do I take it?
150
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,919
If it's gonna save your life,
151
00:07:12,921 --> 00:07:15,204
then yeah, of course you do.
152
00:07:25,048 --> 00:07:27,199
That's your idea of a
good fit, seriously?
153
00:07:27,201 --> 00:07:29,635
I told you, he's one
of the best sponsors I know.
154
00:07:29,637 --> 00:07:32,004
Peter Platitude? I was waiting
for him to hold my hand
155
00:07:32,006 --> 00:07:33,673
so we could recite
the Serenity Prayer.
156
00:07:33,675 --> 00:07:35,942
Okay, if you want to hear
something other that platitudes,
157
00:07:35,944 --> 00:07:38,144
try listening to the guy
for more than two minutes.
158
00:07:38,146 --> 00:07:40,863
The man encouraged me to take
diphenhydramine, Watson.
159
00:07:40,865 --> 00:07:42,248
A deliriant.
160
00:07:42,250 --> 00:07:43,899
The Republic of Zambia
recently classified that
161
00:07:43,901 --> 00:07:45,484
a controlled substance.
162
00:07:45,486 --> 00:07:47,519
Now, what kind of a sponsor
would allow his sponsee
163
00:07:47,521 --> 00:07:49,221
to risk their sobriety
over a simple case
164
00:07:49,223 --> 00:07:50,456
of neuroleptic poisoning?
165
00:07:50,458 --> 00:07:51,791
Okay, you think I don't know
166
00:07:51,793 --> 00:07:53,526
there's no right answer
to that question?
167
00:07:53,528 --> 00:07:54,961
You don't want Adrian?
168
00:07:54,963 --> 00:07:56,395
Okay. This is a process.
169
00:07:56,397 --> 00:07:58,247
We can look for other candidates
at group tonight.
170
00:07:58,249 --> 00:08:00,416
We are gonna
find you a sponsor
171
00:08:00,418 --> 00:08:02,301
before my stint is up, okay?
172
00:08:05,723 --> 00:08:07,173
Ha.
173
00:08:07,175 --> 00:08:08,207
Captain.
174
00:08:08,209 --> 00:08:09,675
That motherboard you found--
175
00:08:09,677 --> 00:08:11,477
bomb squad confirmed
it was part of the device,
176
00:08:11,479 --> 00:08:12,878
so touché.
177
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,563
The pager it was part of
was prepaid,
178
00:08:14,565 --> 00:08:16,115
so there was no subscriber info,
179
00:08:16,117 --> 00:08:18,234
but luckily, the tech assist
180
00:08:18,236 --> 00:08:19,902
was able to pull
a number off it.
181
00:08:19,904 --> 00:08:22,221
And the same phone
called the pager
182
00:08:22,223 --> 00:08:23,773
three times this morning,
183
00:08:23,775 --> 00:08:26,725
and each call was within seconds
of the bomb going off.
184
00:08:26,727 --> 00:08:28,577
Were you able
to trace the number?
185
00:08:28,579 --> 00:08:32,064
Yeah, to a plumber
named Rennie Jacobs from Queens.
186
00:08:32,066 --> 00:08:34,567
And get this,
he just did a six-year stretch
187
00:08:34,569 --> 00:08:35,734
for burning down his apartment
188
00:08:35,736 --> 00:08:37,903
in an insurance fraud scheme.
189
00:08:37,905 --> 00:08:39,422
Any particular reason
190
00:08:39,424 --> 00:08:41,374
he'd want to depredate
that Web design firm?
191
00:08:41,376 --> 00:08:43,926
No clue, but, uh,
if you want to see him
192
00:08:43,928 --> 00:08:46,345
live and in person,
he just got here.
193
00:08:46,347 --> 00:08:47,763
I was just trying
to call in
194
00:08:47,765 --> 00:08:49,598
a breakfast sandwich order,
that's it.
195
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,851
Three times you called
that pager, Mr. Jacobs.
196
00:08:51,853 --> 00:08:53,252
Three times.
197
00:08:53,254 --> 00:08:55,771
You said the pager number
was 555-0164, right?
198
00:08:55,773 --> 00:08:57,106
212 area code?
199
00:08:57,108 --> 00:09:00,426
I was trying to call
Miracle Deli on 113th.
200
00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:01,861
Their number is off
201
00:09:01,863 --> 00:09:05,031
by one digit. 0165.
202
00:09:05,033 --> 00:09:07,444
I must've misdialed, 'cause
when they didn't answer,
203
00:09:08,453 --> 00:09:09,985
I hit redial.
204
00:09:09,987 --> 00:09:11,270
Twice.
205
00:09:11,272 --> 00:09:13,072
Miracle Deli.
Pickup or delivery?
206
00:09:13,074 --> 00:09:14,940
He's telling the truth
207
00:09:14,942 --> 00:09:16,792
about the numbers being off
by a single digit.
208
00:09:16,794 --> 00:09:18,461
Yeah, we know.
209
00:09:18,463 --> 00:09:21,080
Coincidence bugs me, but not
enough to cut him loose.
210
00:09:22,783 --> 00:09:24,550
I got to step out.
211
00:09:24,552 --> 00:09:26,335
Bomb squad wants to brief me.
212
00:09:30,558 --> 00:09:33,175
You don't look convinced.
213
00:09:33,177 --> 00:09:35,761
Bomb-building
is a dangerous venture.
214
00:09:35,763 --> 00:09:37,813
It requires patience,
precision,
215
00:09:37,815 --> 00:09:39,815
attention to detail.
216
00:09:39,817 --> 00:09:42,184
Mr. Jacobs' wristwatch
is nine minutes slow
217
00:09:42,186 --> 00:09:44,186
and his fly
is three-quarters down.
218
00:09:44,188 --> 00:09:47,573
That doesn't scream
detail-oriented.
219
00:09:47,575 --> 00:09:50,242
Ted Kaczynski looked like
a hobo puked another hobo.
220
00:09:50,244 --> 00:09:52,661
He managed
to hurt plenty of people.
221
00:09:53,813 --> 00:09:55,998
Point taken.
222
00:09:59,086 --> 00:10:01,120
Yeah.
223
00:10:02,789 --> 00:10:04,390
Can I help you?
224
00:10:04,392 --> 00:10:06,208
This is the, uh...
225
00:10:06,210 --> 00:10:08,377
the bomb's power source,
I presume?
226
00:10:08,379 --> 00:10:09,929
Six volt.
227
00:10:09,931 --> 00:10:12,047
Very interesting company,
PrimSource Battery.
228
00:10:12,049 --> 00:10:14,133
Founded in 1888
by British expat
229
00:10:14,135 --> 00:10:15,768
and purveyor
of mechanical novelties,
230
00:10:15,770 --> 00:10:17,303
Hubert Primler.
231
00:10:17,305 --> 00:10:20,389
They switched to making
batteries full-time in 1907,
232
00:10:20,391 --> 00:10:22,391
each one stamped
with the company's
233
00:10:22,393 --> 00:10:24,610
now iconic rising-sun logo.
234
00:10:24,612 --> 00:10:26,812
The logo remained unchanged
until 2008,
235
00:10:26,814 --> 00:10:28,680
when a small oak tree was added
236
00:10:28,682 --> 00:10:30,616
to commemorate
the company's centenary.
237
00:10:30,618 --> 00:10:33,202
Yet this one has no oak tree.
238
00:10:34,121 --> 00:10:35,237
That means that battery
239
00:10:35,239 --> 00:10:37,039
is more than four years old.
240
00:10:37,041 --> 00:10:40,209
Odd, isn't it,
go to all that trouble
241
00:10:40,211 --> 00:10:41,693
building an elaborate
explosive device
242
00:10:41,695 --> 00:10:43,212
and then power it with an old
243
00:10:43,214 --> 00:10:44,713
and potentially
unreliable battery?
244
00:10:44,715 --> 00:10:47,016
Odd, yes,
but not impossible.
245
00:10:47,018 --> 00:10:49,552
Holmes, Holmes,
I've only got a few minutes here
246
00:10:49,554 --> 00:10:51,253
to pick Bennett's brain
before I have
247
00:10:51,255 --> 00:10:52,704
to stand in front
of 20 cameras
248
00:10:52,706 --> 00:10:53,872
to explain what happened
this morning.
249
00:10:53,874 --> 00:10:55,891
What about that?
What about what?
250
00:10:55,893 --> 00:10:57,726
It's the president.
251
00:10:57,728 --> 00:10:59,895
Wrong. It's the senator.
Captain...
252
00:10:59,897 --> 00:11:01,480
Senator Obama,
not President Obama.
253
00:11:01,482 --> 00:11:03,732
You can tell from the lack
of gray in his hair.
254
00:11:03,734 --> 00:11:06,152
He's right. I can make
out a date on this one.
255
00:11:06,154 --> 00:11:08,187
October 13, 2008.
256
00:11:08,189 --> 00:11:09,688
So, what are you saying?
257
00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:11,157
That battery is four years old.
258
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:13,576
These shreds of newspaper
are four years old.
259
00:11:13,578 --> 00:11:16,028
The bomb that exploded
this morning was four years old.
260
00:11:16,030 --> 00:11:17,496
But why would the suspect
build a bomb
261
00:11:17,498 --> 00:11:18,914
and sit on it for four years?
262
00:11:18,916 --> 00:11:20,666
He wouldn't have.
263
00:11:20,668 --> 00:11:22,334
And in Rennie Jacobs's case,
he couldn't have.
264
00:11:22,336 --> 00:11:23,786
He was in prison
four years ago.
265
00:11:23,788 --> 00:11:25,371
I think he was telling the truth
266
00:11:25,373 --> 00:11:27,339
when he said he dialed
the wrong number this morning.
267
00:11:27,341 --> 00:11:30,676
We have the man who set it off
accidentally in 2012.
268
00:11:30,678 --> 00:11:34,797
Now we just need the man who
intended to set it off in 2008.
269
00:11:38,359 --> 00:11:40,108
You're sure he's not the
one who built the bomb?
270
00:11:40,109 --> 00:11:41,313
Sure? No.
271
00:11:41,314 --> 00:11:42,981
Reasonably certain? Yeah.
272
00:11:42,983 --> 00:11:45,466
The NYPD can continue
to poke and prod him.
273
00:11:45,468 --> 00:11:47,585
In the meantime,
you and I can push forward
274
00:11:47,587 --> 00:11:49,487
on this, our new front.
275
00:11:49,489 --> 00:11:52,407
It is a lovely front.
276
00:11:52,409 --> 00:11:54,359
Hmm. Vanowen
Strategic Communications.
277
00:11:54,361 --> 00:11:57,362
Public relations consultancy
founded in 1994
278
00:11:57,364 --> 00:12:00,749
by Harrington School of Business
alumna Heather Vanowen.
279
00:12:00,751 --> 00:12:03,334
The firm is particularly adept
at solving image crises
280
00:12:03,336 --> 00:12:05,086
of the corporate variety,
281
00:12:05,088 --> 00:12:08,423
making them one-stop shopping
for many of the Fortune 500.
282
00:12:08,425 --> 00:12:12,177
Spin doctors
of the highest order, and
283
00:12:12,179 --> 00:12:14,328
former tenants
of the midtown offices
284
00:12:14,330 --> 00:12:16,831
ravaged by a homemade bomb
this morning.
285
00:12:16,833 --> 00:12:19,434
They occupied the space
until December 2008.
286
00:12:19,436 --> 00:12:22,387
Now, if I'm right and the bomb
was planted that October,
287
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:24,556
this company
or one of its employees
288
00:12:24,558 --> 00:12:27,008
may have been
the intended target.
289
00:12:27,010 --> 00:12:29,611
Mr. Holmes?
290
00:12:29,613 --> 00:12:31,029
Heather Vanowen.
291
00:12:31,031 --> 00:12:32,680
This is Earl Wheeler, my CFO.
292
00:12:32,682 --> 00:12:36,034
We were told you work
with the police.
293
00:12:36,036 --> 00:12:37,518
I'm their consultant.
294
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,870
This is Miss Watson.
295
00:12:38,872 --> 00:12:41,122
She is my consultant,
slash housekeep.
296
00:12:41,124 --> 00:12:42,707
So, how can we
help you today?
297
00:12:42,709 --> 00:12:44,525
Well, you can start
by telling us
298
00:12:44,527 --> 00:12:47,746
who maybe have wanted
to blow you up in 2008.
299
00:12:49,131 --> 00:12:50,832
I'm stunned.
300
00:12:50,834 --> 00:12:52,417
I-I saw the story
on the news this morning.
301
00:12:52,419 --> 00:12:54,953
I knew that was our old
office space, but...
302
00:12:54,955 --> 00:12:57,088
I never would have guessed
that that bomb
303
00:12:57,090 --> 00:12:59,207
- was meant for us.
- So you honestly think
304
00:12:59,209 --> 00:13:01,542
it was just sitting
there this whole time?
305
00:13:01,544 --> 00:13:03,711
The police think it was tucked
into an air vent.
306
00:13:03,713 --> 00:13:05,480
If that part of the building's
climate control system
307
00:13:05,482 --> 00:13:07,232
had never needed repair--
308
00:13:07,234 --> 00:13:09,484
and judging by this morning's
events, it didn't--
309
00:13:09,486 --> 00:13:11,736
it could have gone
undiscovered indefinitely.
310
00:13:11,738 --> 00:13:13,905
Okay, but why this morning?
311
00:13:13,907 --> 00:13:15,824
Why'd it go off
after all this time?
312
00:13:15,826 --> 00:13:17,391
The bomb was detonated
by a pager.
313
00:13:17,393 --> 00:13:21,079
In 2008, the company
that made that pager
314
00:13:21,081 --> 00:13:25,283
had no signal towers within
42 blocks of your old offices.
315
00:13:25,285 --> 00:13:26,918
In 2010,
316
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,537
they erected a new tower
317
00:13:29,539 --> 00:13:31,422
a mere three blocks away.
318
00:13:31,424 --> 00:13:33,241
So the bomb didn't detonate
319
00:13:33,243 --> 00:13:35,543
in 2008 because the call
couldn't go through.
320
00:13:35,545 --> 00:13:38,079
The question is:
Who built the device,
321
00:13:38,081 --> 00:13:40,715
and what may they have had
against your company?
322
00:13:40,717 --> 00:13:42,433
I'm sure that we've made
our fair share of enemies
323
00:13:42,435 --> 00:13:44,602
along the way, but, um...
someone who would build
324
00:13:44,604 --> 00:13:46,054
a bomb?
325
00:13:46,056 --> 00:13:48,306
The ELM.
326
00:13:48,308 --> 00:13:50,925
The Earth Liberty Militia.
327
00:13:50,927 --> 00:13:52,477
We got some threatening letters
from them in 2008.
328
00:13:52,479 --> 00:13:54,863
They're an ecoterrorist
group, right?
329
00:13:54,865 --> 00:13:56,648
They've bombed a few other
companies over the years.
330
00:13:56,650 --> 00:13:59,534
What would an ecoterrorist group
have against a PR firm?
331
00:13:59,536 --> 00:14:01,653
Our clients.
332
00:14:01,655 --> 00:14:04,105
We work with some of
the major energy conglomerates.
333
00:14:04,107 --> 00:14:05,456
Occasionally we
have to help them
334
00:14:05,458 --> 00:14:07,041
smooth over their
image after mishaps.
335
00:14:07,043 --> 00:14:09,277
200 million gallons of oil
336
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,212
spilling into the Gulf,
for example?
337
00:14:11,214 --> 00:14:13,715
The ELM sent us
seven letters in 2008.
338
00:14:13,717 --> 00:14:15,817
I know that we kept hard copies
of them in our records room.
339
00:14:15,819 --> 00:14:17,051
You want to take a look?
340
00:14:17,053 --> 00:14:18,720
We would.
341
00:14:20,455 --> 00:14:23,842
Effluvium, fussbudget, Cairo.
342
00:14:23,844 --> 00:14:26,761
Nine across,
14 down, 32 down.
343
00:14:26,763 --> 00:14:30,148
I-I have a sort of thing
for puzzles.
344
00:14:34,787 --> 00:14:36,154
When I first tried
getting clean,
345
00:14:36,156 --> 00:14:37,655
I started drinking.
346
00:14:37,657 --> 00:14:40,241
Before long, I realized
that I had swapped
347
00:14:40,243 --> 00:14:41,659
one addiction
for another.
348
00:14:41,661 --> 00:14:43,111
Please put those away.
349
00:14:43,113 --> 00:14:45,296
"You cannot stop this.
You can only submit.
350
00:14:45,298 --> 00:14:47,598
Submit or be destroyed."
351
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,902
That's something
the ELM would say.
352
00:14:50,904 --> 00:14:52,153
Here...
353
00:14:52,155 --> 00:14:54,155
Not the time,
not the place.
354
00:14:54,157 --> 00:14:56,824
I'm sorry, but from a forensic
linguistics standpoint,
355
00:14:56,826 --> 00:14:58,443
these threats are
quite fascinating.
356
00:14:58,445 --> 00:15:01,496
For example, I see clues here
that would suggest
357
00:15:01,498 --> 00:15:04,582
that the ELM was not
an organization, per se,
358
00:15:04,584 --> 00:15:07,835
but one man posing
as an organization
359
00:15:09,004 --> 00:15:11,172
Seriously, can you just
examine those at home?
360
00:15:11,174 --> 00:15:12,790
We have work
to do here.
361
00:15:12,792 --> 00:15:15,093
Oh, yeah.
Sponsor Search 2012.
362
00:15:15,095 --> 00:15:17,095
I have to say, Watson,
363
00:15:17,097 --> 00:15:19,330
it's a bit of
a motley crew tonight.
364
00:15:19,332 --> 00:15:21,466
I don't think these are
my kind of addicts.
365
00:15:21,468 --> 00:15:24,519
I think this is going to be
a much longer
366
00:15:24,521 --> 00:15:26,721
and more involved process
than we initially thought.
367
00:15:26,723 --> 00:15:29,006
You have 23 days.
368
00:15:29,008 --> 00:15:30,942
Then our time is up.
369
00:15:33,028 --> 00:15:34,979
My name is Alfredo,
and I'm an addict.
370
00:15:34,981 --> 00:15:36,680
Hi, Alfredo.
371
00:15:36,682 --> 00:15:40,201
Started boosting cars
when I was 14.
372
00:15:40,203 --> 00:15:41,569
By the time I turned 18,
373
00:15:41,571 --> 00:15:43,654
I was the best there is.
374
00:15:43,656 --> 00:15:45,823
Ain't a car in the city
I can't steal.
375
00:15:45,825 --> 00:15:47,325
Him.
376
00:15:47,327 --> 00:15:48,626
Hmm?
Now I'm flush with cash,
377
00:15:48,628 --> 00:15:50,795
I'm bored... I turn to drugs.
378
00:15:50,797 --> 00:15:53,748
I want him to
be my sponsor.
379
00:15:53,750 --> 00:15:55,416
Took my first hit at 19...
380
00:15:57,553 --> 00:16:01,038
This phrase,
"on your beam ends,"
381
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,558
it appears in five
of the seven threats.
382
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,893
I'm certain I've heard
it before; I just...
383
00:16:05,895 --> 00:16:07,311
can't recall where.
384
00:16:07,313 --> 00:16:08,596
"On your beam ends."
385
00:16:08,598 --> 00:16:10,264
A nautical idiom
first documented
386
00:16:10,266 --> 00:16:12,650
in Captain Frederick
Marryat's 1830 novel
387
00:16:12,652 --> 00:16:14,318
The King's Own,
388
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,237
signifying a situation
of great peril.
389
00:16:16,239 --> 00:16:18,356
Strange for such
an aberrant phrase
390
00:16:18,358 --> 00:16:19,690
to appear so repeatedly.
391
00:16:19,692 --> 00:16:22,910
Are you seriously
going to make me ask?
392
00:16:22,912 --> 00:16:25,163
Ask what?
About your sponsor, Alfredo.
393
00:16:25,165 --> 00:16:26,831
Delightful fellow.
394
00:16:26,833 --> 00:16:28,332
He's agreed to meet us
both tomorrow for coffee.
395
00:16:28,334 --> 00:16:30,334
So we can get to
know one another.
396
00:16:30,336 --> 00:16:31,836
You don't approve?
397
00:16:31,838 --> 00:16:33,838
I'm just a little confused,
that's all.
398
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,256
I mean, you actually met Adrian.
399
00:16:35,258 --> 00:16:36,907
You talked to him
before you turned him down.
400
00:16:36,909 --> 00:16:39,627
You heard Alfredo speak
for 15 seconds.
401
00:16:39,629 --> 00:16:41,412
Oh, have you not
figured out by now
402
00:16:41,414 --> 00:16:44,182
that I see far more
than your average addict?
403
00:16:44,184 --> 00:16:45,916
My observational skills
are second to none.
404
00:16:45,918 --> 00:16:48,752
I know. I know that.
I just... I want to leave you
405
00:16:48,754 --> 00:16:51,055
in the best situation possible.
It's important to me.
406
00:16:51,057 --> 00:16:52,974
Got it.
Good. I'm glad.
407
00:16:52,976 --> 00:16:54,642
No. "On your beam ends."
408
00:16:54,644 --> 00:16:56,093
I've got it.
409
00:16:56,095 --> 00:16:59,063
I know where I was
when I heard it.
410
00:17:02,985 --> 00:17:04,285
That one.
411
00:17:04,287 --> 00:17:06,770
That's where I saw it,
weeks ago.
412
00:17:06,772 --> 00:17:09,323
But what was the context?
413
00:17:12,777 --> 00:17:14,128
Yellow cartoon sponge man,
414
00:17:14,130 --> 00:17:16,947
sports news,
mouthwash advert,
415
00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:17,803
Arctic Blue...
416
00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:19,117
You want to tell me
what you're doing?
417
00:17:19,118 --> 00:17:21,452
Uh, method of loci,
mnemonic device.
418
00:17:21,454 --> 00:17:24,138
Relies on memorized spatial
relationships to establish,
419
00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:27,975
catalogue and recollect
memorial content.
420
00:17:29,144 --> 00:17:31,012
If I remember what was
on these six screens,
421
00:17:31,014 --> 00:17:34,098
I'll remember what
was on the seventh.
422
00:17:36,801 --> 00:17:39,637
Fat lady, new cookbook,
insufferable.
423
00:17:39,639 --> 00:17:41,822
Erectile dysfunction.
Nature program, penguins.
424
00:17:41,824 --> 00:17:44,525
And... talk show.
425
00:17:44,527 --> 00:17:47,745
The topic was...
international whaling laws.
426
00:17:47,747 --> 00:17:51,499
Two guests got into an argument.
427
00:17:58,507 --> 00:18:00,625
You are not seriously suggesting
428
00:18:00,627 --> 00:18:03,127
that cleaning out the
Pacific Ocean is a good idea.
429
00:18:03,129 --> 00:18:04,512
What do you suggest
we tell the Japanese worker
430
00:18:04,514 --> 00:18:05,980
whose livelihood
depends upon this trade?
431
00:18:05,982 --> 00:18:08,132
Just... you don't get it.
432
00:18:08,134 --> 00:18:11,001
One day 50 yrs from now,
when you're on your beam ends,
433
00:18:11,003 --> 00:18:13,721
you'll wish you'd done
more when you could have.
434
00:18:13,723 --> 00:18:16,023
That's the same bombast
435
00:18:16,025 --> 00:18:17,441
I read in the ELM letters.
436
00:18:17,443 --> 00:18:18,726
It's the same hyperbole.
437
00:18:18,728 --> 00:18:20,027
Same weird phrase.
438
00:18:20,029 --> 00:18:21,779
You really think it's him?
439
00:18:21,781 --> 00:18:23,347
I know a way to find out.
440
00:18:23,349 --> 00:18:25,199
I'm confused, Detective.
441
00:18:25,201 --> 00:18:28,869
You're accusing me of being
some sort of ecoterrorist?
442
00:18:28,871 --> 00:18:31,072
One of our special consultants
443
00:18:31,074 --> 00:18:34,075
thinks your speech pattern
is a match for these letters.
444
00:18:34,077 --> 00:18:35,793
For the last time,
445
00:18:35,795 --> 00:18:37,861
I have never seen
these letters before.
446
00:18:37,863 --> 00:18:40,197
I don't know anything
about the ELM,
447
00:18:40,199 --> 00:18:42,199
and I certainly didn't
build any bombs.
448
00:18:42,201 --> 00:18:45,436
Lie, lie and lie.
449
00:18:45,438 --> 00:18:46,971
Who the hell are you?
450
00:18:46,973 --> 00:18:49,090
I am the man with the button.
451
00:18:49,092 --> 00:18:50,975
It's from the elevator
down the hall.
452
00:18:50,977 --> 00:18:52,876
You pushed it
to get to this floor.
453
00:18:52,878 --> 00:18:54,878
As soon as you disembarked,
I removed it,
454
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,214
and took it to the department's
latent print unit.
455
00:18:57,216 --> 00:18:59,350
It has your fingerprint
on it, you see.
456
00:18:59,352 --> 00:19:01,736
Which means it has
a great deal in common
457
00:19:01,738 --> 00:19:04,855
with a component
from a bomb the ELM detonated
458
00:19:04,857 --> 00:19:08,192
in a lumber mill
in Utica in 2005.
459
00:19:08,194 --> 00:19:11,028
Button... bomb.
460
00:19:11,030 --> 00:19:13,497
Button...
bomb.
461
00:19:13,499 --> 00:19:16,117
The similarities are quite
striking, wouldn't you agree?
462
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,918
You built the ELM bombs,
Mr. Knowles.
463
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,537
And you wrote
those letters.
464
00:19:19,539 --> 00:19:21,422
It's too bad you didn't
go back for the one
465
00:19:21,424 --> 00:19:23,841
you left at Vanowen S.C. when
you realized it was defective.
466
00:19:23,843 --> 00:19:26,344
Maybe you wouldn't be facing
two murder charges today.
467
00:19:28,413 --> 00:19:30,514
I bombed that lumber mill.
468
00:19:32,250 --> 00:19:35,186
And I wrote these letters
to Vanowen S.C.
469
00:19:35,188 --> 00:19:37,471
But you know what I didn't do?
470
00:19:37,473 --> 00:19:38,856
Follow up on them.
471
00:19:38,858 --> 00:19:42,393
By 2008, I had
successfully detonated
472
00:19:42,395 --> 00:19:45,479
nitrate-based bombs at
five different companies.
473
00:19:45,481 --> 00:19:49,099
I was established,
and I was taken very seriously.
474
00:19:49,101 --> 00:19:52,319
Vanowen S.C. was one of
several dozen businesses
475
00:19:52,321 --> 00:19:54,438
I threatened but never bombed.
476
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,907
Why am I not surprised
you'd take credit
477
00:19:56,909 --> 00:19:58,609
for every bombing except
478
00:19:58,611 --> 00:20:01,796
the one that
killed two people?
479
00:20:01,798 --> 00:20:03,497
Was that you?
480
00:20:03,499 --> 00:20:05,332
Was what me?
481
00:20:08,387 --> 00:20:11,121
What did those balls
ever do to you?
482
00:20:12,809 --> 00:20:14,925
They're dying
for a good cause, Watson.
483
00:20:14,927 --> 00:20:17,561
Of course they are.
Ah!
484
00:20:19,231 --> 00:20:20,514
Did you know
485
00:20:20,516 --> 00:20:22,316
that when a bomb explodes,
486
00:20:22,318 --> 00:20:24,968
the component that houses
the fuel is often atomized?
487
00:20:24,970 --> 00:20:27,822
Now, this can make it difficult,
if not downright impossible,
488
00:20:27,824 --> 00:20:30,658
to identify the device's
chemical composition.
489
00:20:30,660 --> 00:20:33,077
The NYPD bomb squad
is currently struggling
490
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,279
with this very conundrum,
so I thought I would help.
491
00:20:35,281 --> 00:20:37,698
With tennis balls?
I'm attempting to replicate
492
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:40,501
the odor and burn pattern
of the office bombing
493
00:20:40,503 --> 00:20:42,787
using a few of my own
concoctions, and these balls
494
00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:45,372
make the perfect
delivery mechanism.
495
00:20:57,804 --> 00:20:59,336
When Edgar Knowles was
arrested this afternoon,
496
00:20:59,338 --> 00:21:00,721
he confessed to setting off
497
00:21:00,723 --> 00:21:04,191
five nitrate-based bombs
at various businesses.
498
00:21:04,193 --> 00:21:06,110
No self-respecting eco-warrior
499
00:21:06,112 --> 00:21:09,280
would use toxic, man-made
chemicals in his bombs.
500
00:21:09,282 --> 00:21:12,116
He would use
natural ingredients.
501
00:21:12,118 --> 00:21:14,368
Smells like fertilizer.
502
00:21:14,370 --> 00:21:15,569
With good reason.
503
00:21:15,571 --> 00:21:17,571
Beyond its horticultural
employments,
504
00:21:17,573 --> 00:21:19,123
fertilizer can be
distilled down
505
00:21:19,125 --> 00:21:22,293
and mixed into a rather potent
nitrate accelerant.
506
00:21:22,295 --> 00:21:24,411
This ball is filled
with the stuff.
507
00:21:24,413 --> 00:21:27,581
If Knowles did try
to blow up Vanowen S.C.,
508
00:21:27,583 --> 00:21:29,967
he would have used nitrates,
and if he'd used nitrates,
509
00:21:29,969 --> 00:21:31,919
the bomb would have filled
the air with an odor
510
00:21:31,921 --> 00:21:33,754
as pungent
as it is distinctive,
511
00:21:33,756 --> 00:21:35,723
the same odor that
you're smelling right now.
512
00:21:35,725 --> 00:21:37,258
The thing is,
I didn't smell
513
00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:38,976
any fertilizer
when we were there.
514
00:21:38,978 --> 00:21:40,811
I smelled something else.
515
00:21:40,813 --> 00:21:42,713
It was foreign to me
in the moment, but...
516
00:21:42,715 --> 00:21:44,431
I have managed to recreate it
with the help of
517
00:21:44,433 --> 00:21:46,550
my little
round friends here.
518
00:21:46,552 --> 00:21:48,486
I am now certain
that the bomb was made
519
00:21:48,488 --> 00:21:49,904
using potassium chlorate.
520
00:21:49,906 --> 00:21:51,272
It's an accelerant made of
521
00:21:51,274 --> 00:21:53,240
gasoline, bleach
and petroleum jelly.
522
00:21:53,242 --> 00:21:55,726
Are you saying that Edgar
Knowles was telling the truth
523
00:21:55,728 --> 00:21:57,828
when he told you that
he didn't build the bomb
524
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:59,397
that exploded at Vanowen S.C.?
525
00:21:59,398 --> 00:22:00,786
I am.
526
00:22:00,811 --> 00:22:02,751
Well, if he didn't
build it, who did?
527
00:22:02,919 --> 00:22:05,753
Haven't the foggiest.
528
00:22:25,421 --> 00:22:26,622
Hey.
529
00:22:27,446 --> 00:22:29,952
Heard you were
looking for me?
530
00:22:29,953 --> 00:22:33,038
Yesterday, you gave us
Edgar Knowles on a silver platter.
531
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,040
Now you're telling me
532
00:22:35,042 --> 00:22:37,409
he did every bomb
except for the one
533
00:22:37,411 --> 00:22:39,160
from two days ago?
As I said before,
534
00:22:39,162 --> 00:22:41,546
that bomb was built using
potassium chlorate.
535
00:22:41,548 --> 00:22:43,832
Yeah, and Knowles only used
ones with cow manure.
536
00:22:43,834 --> 00:22:45,383
I heard you.
That's not enough.
537
00:22:45,385 --> 00:22:47,302
There's more.
I came in this morning
538
00:22:47,304 --> 00:22:49,671
to reexamine the bomb's components,
and I pieced together
539
00:22:49,673 --> 00:22:51,256
some of the strips
of packing paper
540
00:22:51,258 --> 00:22:52,807
that were used.
I managed to form
541
00:22:52,809 --> 00:22:55,060
almost a third of a page
of the October 13 edition
542
00:22:55,062 --> 00:22:56,461
of the New York Times.
543
00:22:56,463 --> 00:22:58,563
This particular clump
caught my eye.
544
00:22:58,565 --> 00:23:01,766
I saw small, almost
imperceptible indentations
545
00:23:01,768 --> 00:23:03,735
along the upper fringe.
546
00:23:03,737 --> 00:23:04,853
I don't see anything.
547
00:23:04,855 --> 00:23:06,688
You wouldn't.
548
00:23:06,690 --> 00:23:08,973
Well, most people
wouldn't, which is why
549
00:23:08,975 --> 00:23:11,409
I traced over it.
550
00:23:12,912 --> 00:23:14,329
The paper
that was used
551
00:23:14,331 --> 00:23:16,248
in the bomb was
beneath another piece
552
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:17,916
of paper when
someone wrote that word.
553
00:23:17,918 --> 00:23:19,701
They pressed hard enough
to make indentations.
554
00:23:19,703 --> 00:23:21,036
Now, I already checked it
555
00:23:21,038 --> 00:23:22,320
against Edgar Knowles's
handwriting.
556
00:23:22,322 --> 00:23:23,321
It's not a match.
557
00:23:23,323 --> 00:23:24,456
All due respect,
Holmes.
558
00:23:24,458 --> 00:23:25,490
So what?
559
00:23:25,492 --> 00:23:27,158
Maybe he had help with the bomb.
560
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,376
Maybe that person wrote some
561
00:23:28,378 --> 00:23:30,161
weird note on top
of the newspaper.
562
00:23:30,163 --> 00:23:32,547
As I said previously, I believe
Edgar Knowles worked alone.
563
00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:34,633
And as I said previously,
I still like him
564
00:23:34,635 --> 00:23:37,052
for the last bomb.
565
00:23:37,054 --> 00:23:39,387
The threats against Vanowen
S.C. were never made public,
566
00:23:39,389 --> 00:23:40,805
which means, aside
from the police,
567
00:23:40,807 --> 00:23:42,307
the firm's employees
were the only ones
568
00:23:42,309 --> 00:23:43,608
who were aware of them.
569
00:23:43,610 --> 00:23:45,176
I'd like you to
request a subpoena
570
00:23:45,178 --> 00:23:46,478
of their personnel files
571
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,563
so that I can review them.
For what?
572
00:23:48,565 --> 00:23:50,398
Well, imagine you were a
disgruntled employee, hmm?
573
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,951
You want to strike out at the
company, but you don't want
574
00:23:52,953 --> 00:23:55,370
to get caught, so why not take
advantage of the ELM threats
575
00:23:55,372 --> 00:23:56,905
to plant a device
of your own, hmm?
576
00:23:56,907 --> 00:23:58,740
You get the blast,
they get the blame.
577
00:23:58,742 --> 00:23:59,741
No.
578
00:23:59,743 --> 00:24:00,742
No?
579
00:24:00,744 --> 00:24:02,077
No subpoena.
580
00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:03,912
If you really want
to go poking around
581
00:24:03,914 --> 00:24:05,630
at Vanowen S.C.,
you're gonna have
582
00:24:05,632 --> 00:24:06,915
to take it up with them.
583
00:24:14,974 --> 00:24:17,875
I'm sure he's gonna
be here any second.
584
00:24:20,429 --> 00:24:23,047
I really like those...
585
00:24:23,049 --> 00:24:24,716
tattoos.
586
00:24:27,069 --> 00:24:29,721
You know, I'm just gonna text
him again and see where he is.
587
00:24:39,265 --> 00:24:42,066
I'm really sorry, Alfredo,
but it doesn't look
588
00:24:42,068 --> 00:24:44,569
like Sherlock is coming
and joining us today.
589
00:24:44,571 --> 00:24:46,121
Be patient.
590
00:24:46,123 --> 00:24:48,757
First rule
of good sponsorship.
591
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:51,259
Newcomers like him
don't always understand
592
00:24:51,261 --> 00:24:52,744
the scope of the work involved.
593
00:24:52,746 --> 00:24:55,013
They get frustrated.
594
00:24:55,015 --> 00:24:56,914
We need to be patient
and methodical with him.
595
00:24:56,916 --> 00:24:58,583
I was under the impression
596
00:24:58,585 --> 00:25:00,602
that you'd never been
a sponsor before.
597
00:25:00,604 --> 00:25:01,853
I haven't.
598
00:25:01,855 --> 00:25:03,355
But I have a great one.
599
00:25:03,357 --> 00:25:05,357
Taught me
everything he knows.
600
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,277
Truth is, I've been wanting
to be a sponsor for a while now.
601
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:11,429
People never ask.
602
00:25:11,431 --> 00:25:13,648
Think it's because I'm quiet.
603
00:25:13,650 --> 00:25:17,035
I can help your friend,
Miss Watson.
604
00:25:17,037 --> 00:25:20,121
He just needs
to give me the chance.
605
00:25:30,216 --> 00:25:32,450
Doing okay?
606
00:25:32,452 --> 00:25:34,135
I am.
607
00:25:34,137 --> 00:25:37,088
And thank you again for allowing
me to peruse these files.
608
00:25:37,090 --> 00:25:39,457
Oh, it was
an easy decision to make.
609
00:25:39,459 --> 00:25:41,509
If you think there's
anyone here who has something
610
00:25:41,511 --> 00:25:44,629
against this company,
I would like to know.
611
00:25:47,183 --> 00:25:49,901
You're a fellow addict,
aren't you?
612
00:25:51,937 --> 00:25:53,521
Crosswords.
613
00:25:53,523 --> 00:25:54,939
You couldn't have
figured out those clues
614
00:25:54,941 --> 00:25:57,492
at my computer
the other day if you weren't.
615
00:25:57,494 --> 00:25:59,527
I dabble.
616
00:25:59,529 --> 00:26:02,080
Well, I wish I could say
I just dabbled.
617
00:26:02,082 --> 00:26:04,282
I used to have
my habit under control
618
00:26:04,284 --> 00:26:06,918
back when the papers
only issued one a day.
619
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,087
Ever since they put
the last 50 years
620
00:26:09,089 --> 00:26:11,623
of their archives online,
I'm a lost cause.
621
00:26:11,625 --> 00:26:14,509
It's a miracle I get
any work done at all.
622
00:26:15,994 --> 00:26:17,595
You want sex?
623
00:26:17,597 --> 00:26:18,763
Excuse me?
624
00:26:18,765 --> 00:26:20,832
I'm not averse,
Ms. Vanowen.
625
00:26:20,834 --> 00:26:22,166
I'm just busy.
626
00:26:22,168 --> 00:26:24,686
Perhaps we could set
an appointment.
627
00:26:24,688 --> 00:26:26,688
You're flirting.
628
00:26:26,690 --> 00:26:28,273
This crossword talk.
629
00:26:28,275 --> 00:26:31,008
You find me attractive.
630
00:26:31,010 --> 00:26:33,895
The feeling is
mutual, mostly.
631
00:26:33,897 --> 00:26:35,680
The musculature
of your legs
632
00:26:35,682 --> 00:26:38,066
and your shoulders suggests
a certain elasticity I find
633
00:26:38,068 --> 00:26:40,518
quite tantalizing.
634
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,821
I must warn you, however,
a relationship between us
635
00:26:42,823 --> 00:26:44,856
could never go
beyond the physical.
636
00:26:46,242 --> 00:26:47,659
No offense to you, of course.
637
00:26:47,661 --> 00:26:49,828
It's just... not my way.
638
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:51,529
Hey.
639
00:26:51,531 --> 00:26:53,248
Am I interrupting?
640
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:54,833
Nope.
641
00:26:54,835 --> 00:26:57,001
Not even a little.
642
00:27:02,475 --> 00:27:04,642
Sorry I missed our
engagement, Watson.
643
00:27:04,644 --> 00:27:06,311
As you can see,
I'm investigating
644
00:27:06,313 --> 00:27:09,848
the possibility that a Vanowen
employee set the bomb.
645
00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:12,417
It's okay-- I told Alfredo
I'd be in touch, and that
646
00:27:12,419 --> 00:27:14,552
we could reschedule.
647
00:27:20,058 --> 00:27:21,893
Is that the whole piece?
Uh...
648
00:27:21,895 --> 00:27:23,111
Pradeep Singh.
649
00:27:23,113 --> 00:27:26,231
Hired as a copywriter
in December 2003.
650
00:27:26,233 --> 00:27:29,334
He was promoted to junior
associate in January 2007,
651
00:27:29,336 --> 00:27:31,736
senior associate
in June 2007,
652
00:27:31,738 --> 00:27:35,907
and finally associate
creative director in March 2008.
653
00:27:35,909 --> 00:27:37,542
I see here that he
was written up
654
00:27:37,544 --> 00:27:40,628
by the human resources
department on October 10, 2008
655
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:43,080
for engaging in a shouting match
with you, Mr. Wheeler.
656
00:27:43,082 --> 00:27:44,682
I see the
human resources' report,
657
00:27:44,684 --> 00:27:46,851
then nothing--
no more papers...
658
00:27:46,853 --> 00:27:48,102
Yes, that's because
his contract
659
00:27:48,104 --> 00:27:49,521
with this company
was terminated.
660
00:27:49,523 --> 00:27:50,889
Because he fought with you?
661
00:27:50,891 --> 00:27:52,357
Because he disappeared.
662
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,359
He came to work, left,
never came back.
663
00:27:54,361 --> 00:27:56,528
It was in all the
papers at the time.
664
00:27:56,530 --> 00:27:59,564
The police got involved,
never found him.
665
00:27:59,566 --> 00:28:01,950
May I ask what sparked
the disagreement between
666
00:28:01,952 --> 00:28:04,569
the two of you?
667
00:28:04,571 --> 00:28:07,038
Uh... Pradeep wasn't happy.
668
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,991
He was a model employee
at the beginning,
669
00:28:09,993 --> 00:28:11,492
but something changed him.
670
00:28:11,494 --> 00:28:13,661
He became-- I don't
know-- arrogant.
671
00:28:13,663 --> 00:28:16,097
He started talking about
how he wanted more power
672
00:28:16,099 --> 00:28:17,582
here at the company,
more control,
673
00:28:17,584 --> 00:28:19,217
and we gave it to him at first.
674
00:28:19,219 --> 00:28:20,735
I mean, Pradeep was
675
00:28:20,737 --> 00:28:22,136
a capable guy.
676
00:28:22,138 --> 00:28:23,555
Then it all changed
when he came in asking
677
00:28:23,557 --> 00:28:26,641
for his fourth raise
in 18 months.
678
00:28:26,643 --> 00:28:28,626
Well...
You told him enough was enough?
679
00:28:28,628 --> 00:28:30,345
No, that's when he snapped.
680
00:28:30,347 --> 00:28:32,647
He told me
I'd be sorry.
681
00:28:32,649 --> 00:28:34,349
And he worked here
for about another week,
682
00:28:34,351 --> 00:28:35,633
and after that, he was gone.
683
00:28:35,635 --> 00:28:37,819
Never saw
him again.
684
00:28:37,821 --> 00:28:39,837
Pradeep is dead.
685
00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:41,239
He died in 2008.
686
00:28:41,241 --> 00:28:42,440
It was our understanding,
687
00:28:42,442 --> 00:28:45,376
Mrs. Singh, that he
was never found,
688
00:28:45,378 --> 00:28:46,911
alive or dead.
689
00:28:46,913 --> 00:28:50,582
My husband loved me very much,
just as I loved him.
690
00:28:50,584 --> 00:28:53,585
He never would run away.
691
00:28:53,587 --> 00:28:56,037
I held out hope for him
for quite some time,
692
00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:57,672
but eventually I had to accept
693
00:28:57,674 --> 00:28:59,874
that the only
possible explanation
694
00:28:59,876 --> 00:29:02,093
for his disappearance
was death.
695
00:29:02,095 --> 00:29:04,529
You think he was
a victim of foul play.
696
00:29:04,531 --> 00:29:07,966
If he had collapsed somewhere,
had a heart attack or a stroke,
697
00:29:07,968 --> 00:29:10,051
someone would have found him.
698
00:29:10,053 --> 00:29:11,936
Pradeep was murdered.
699
00:29:11,938 --> 00:29:14,505
Or he snapped-- planted
a bomb at his workplace,
700
00:29:14,507 --> 00:29:16,391
and then dropped off the grid
before it detonated.
701
00:29:16,393 --> 00:29:18,843
Do you have any idea
who might have wanted
702
00:29:18,845 --> 00:29:20,144
to hurt your husband?
703
00:29:20,146 --> 00:29:22,363
No.
704
00:29:22,365 --> 00:29:24,983
There was the one man
at his office he argued with
705
00:29:24,985 --> 00:29:26,734
a few days
before he vanished,
706
00:29:26,736 --> 00:29:28,686
but the police
were able to clear him.
707
00:29:28,688 --> 00:29:31,055
Other than that,
he had no enemies.
708
00:29:31,057 --> 00:29:32,657
He was a...
I'm just curious, Mrs. Singh.
709
00:29:32,659 --> 00:29:34,926
Have you had any work done
in this room since 2008?
710
00:29:34,928 --> 00:29:36,127
Work?
Remodeling,
711
00:29:36,129 --> 00:29:38,546
refurbishment, reconstruction.
712
00:29:38,548 --> 00:29:41,049
No, I haven't touched it
since Pradeep disappeared.
713
00:29:41,051 --> 00:29:42,917
Not even to address the mold
on the wall behind that cabinet?
714
00:29:42,919 --> 00:29:45,219
How did you...
715
00:29:45,221 --> 00:29:47,255
The nose knows.
716
00:29:47,257 --> 00:29:50,008
Might we take a look
in your backyard?
717
00:29:50,010 --> 00:29:51,309
Why?
718
00:29:51,311 --> 00:29:53,494
Formality.
719
00:30:00,786 --> 00:30:02,770
Actually, I think I'll just use
your facilities first.
720
00:30:02,772 --> 00:30:04,572
I think I had a dodgy egg.
721
00:30:04,574 --> 00:30:06,774
I'll join you presently.
722
00:30:29,748 --> 00:30:32,016
♪
723
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,765
It did.
724
00:31:03,767 --> 00:31:06,050
It was nice to be
out in the country.
725
00:31:09,004 --> 00:31:10,505
Would you excuse
us a moment?
726
00:31:10,507 --> 00:31:12,757
Sure.
Excuse me.
727
00:31:14,810 --> 00:31:16,561
Mrs. Singh was right--
her husband is dead.
728
00:31:16,563 --> 00:31:18,296
He has been for
quite some time.
729
00:31:18,298 --> 00:31:20,398
What are you talking about?
The photograph at the end
730
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,816
of the mantelpiece,
it shows Pradeep and Mrs. Singh
731
00:31:21,818 --> 00:31:23,134
sitting on the sofa.
It was taken
732
00:31:23,136 --> 00:31:24,736
in the same room
that we were sitting in.
733
00:31:24,738 --> 00:31:26,521
I noticed several discrepancies
between the wall
734
00:31:26,523 --> 00:31:29,040
in the photograph and the one
that we were facing.
735
00:31:29,042 --> 00:31:31,859
The spacing between
the paintings was all wrong.
736
00:31:31,861 --> 00:31:33,277
In the photograph,
737
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:34,529
they were approximately
18 centimeters apart.
738
00:31:34,531 --> 00:31:36,814
In the room, 12 centimeters.
739
00:31:36,816 --> 00:31:39,167
There also hang lower now
by about ten centimeters.
740
00:31:39,169 --> 00:31:40,618
Someone took
them all down,
741
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:42,003
put them
back up again,
742
00:31:42,005 --> 00:31:43,154
didn't get the
measurements right.
743
00:31:43,156 --> 00:31:44,705
So, Himali moved them?
744
00:31:44,707 --> 00:31:46,991
She says she hasn't had any work
done in that room,
745
00:31:46,993 --> 00:31:48,843
and when I took the frames
off the wall,
746
00:31:48,845 --> 00:31:51,162
I saw that she was right--
there's no old nail holes
747
00:31:51,164 --> 00:31:52,964
that correspond to the frames'
original arrangement.
748
00:31:52,966 --> 00:31:55,332
There is, however,
a slight bulge.
749
00:31:55,334 --> 00:31:56,684
Bulge?
750
00:31:56,686 --> 00:31:58,386
The center
of the wall is almost
751
00:31:58,388 --> 00:31:59,670
imperceptibly convex.
752
00:31:59,672 --> 00:32:01,773
Why? Because the gasses released
753
00:32:01,775 --> 00:32:03,507
from Pradeep Singh's
decomposing body
754
00:32:03,509 --> 00:32:05,843
expanded the plastic sheeting
that he's wrapped in,
755
00:32:05,845 --> 00:32:06,894
pushing outwards.
756
00:32:06,896 --> 00:32:08,446
Wait a second.
757
00:32:08,448 --> 00:32:10,782
Are you telling me that Pradeep
is in that wall?
758
00:32:10,784 --> 00:32:12,483
That would explain
the mold, too.
759
00:32:12,485 --> 00:32:15,069
No.
His killer removed insulation
760
00:32:15,071 --> 00:32:16,370
to make space for his body.
761
00:32:16,372 --> 00:32:18,239
This created
a temperature differential
762
00:32:18,241 --> 00:32:20,575
between that section and the
others, condensation formed...
763
00:32:20,577 --> 00:32:22,293
Then mold.
Mmm.
764
00:32:22,295 --> 00:32:24,796
Four years ago,
Pradeep's murderer tore down
765
00:32:24,798 --> 00:32:26,747
that section of wall,
stashed him inside,
766
00:32:26,749 --> 00:32:29,000
and then replaced
and repainted the drywall.
767
00:32:29,002 --> 00:32:30,534
Are you sure?
768
00:32:30,536 --> 00:32:32,887
I'm fairly sure.
769
00:32:42,506 --> 00:32:44,876
Himali Singh didn't kill
her husband.
770
00:32:44,877 --> 00:32:46,437
ICE confirms she was in Mumbai
771
00:32:46,438 --> 00:32:48,922
visiting family during
most of October '08.
772
00:32:48,924 --> 00:32:50,256
She didn't even come home
773
00:32:50,258 --> 00:32:52,859
until she learned
Pradeep was missing.
774
00:32:52,861 --> 00:32:54,111
Whoever murdered Pradeep
at home,
775
00:32:54,113 --> 00:32:56,280
they knew that
his wife was out of town.
776
00:32:56,282 --> 00:32:58,932
Her trip would've provided
the privacy and time
777
00:32:58,934 --> 00:33:00,734
to kill him
and stash him away.
778
00:33:00,736 --> 00:33:02,319
Maybe Singh had a
coconspirator,
779
00:33:02,321 --> 00:33:03,770
someone he built
the bomb with.
780
00:33:03,772 --> 00:33:05,322
Things went south...
Mmm.
781
00:33:05,324 --> 00:33:06,790
That's a reasonable
theory, Captain.
782
00:33:06,792 --> 00:33:09,126
Problem is,
I no longer think
783
00:33:09,128 --> 00:33:11,945
that Pradeep had anything
to do with it.
784
00:33:11,947 --> 00:33:14,348
What's that--
company newsletter?
785
00:33:14,350 --> 00:33:15,882
Now, that is
Pradeep's desk.
786
00:33:15,884 --> 00:33:17,601
That is the air vent
in which the bomb
787
00:33:17,603 --> 00:33:19,336
was concealed,
right next to him.
788
00:33:19,338 --> 00:33:22,556
Now, if that had gone off
when it was supposed to in 2008,
789
00:33:22,558 --> 00:33:23,957
it would have turned
him into so much
790
00:33:23,959 --> 00:33:25,676
newly promoted
hamburger.
791
00:33:25,678 --> 00:33:28,478
Vanowen S.C.'s personnel files
showed that he did not miss
792
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,865
a single day's work until the
moment that he left for good.
793
00:33:31,867 --> 00:33:33,400
That means he spent
almost a week
794
00:33:33,402 --> 00:33:35,652
in the early part
of October 2008
795
00:33:35,654 --> 00:33:37,154
sitting within
spitting distance
796
00:33:37,156 --> 00:33:38,772
of a live
explosive device.
797
00:33:38,774 --> 00:33:41,191
You think it was
meant for him.
798
00:33:41,193 --> 00:33:44,661
Well, it is abundantly clear
someone wanted Pradeep dead.
799
00:33:44,663 --> 00:33:46,246
The question is,
800
00:33:46,248 --> 00:33:49,816
who would be willing to go
to such lengths and why?
801
00:33:49,818 --> 00:33:51,651
M.E. confirms
Pradeep Singh
802
00:33:51,653 --> 00:33:53,319
was killed
by a gunshot wound
803
00:33:53,321 --> 00:33:54,487
to the chest.
804
00:33:54,489 --> 00:33:55,839
Death was followed
by, and I quote,
805
00:33:55,841 --> 00:33:57,457
"pervasive
mummification."
806
00:33:57,459 --> 00:33:59,676
That's everything we
found in his pockets.
807
00:33:59,678 --> 00:34:01,678
It's kind of weird-- there's
a key on the key chain
808
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,329
with a button to
unlock a car door,
809
00:34:03,331 --> 00:34:06,166
but it's definitely
not a car key.
810
00:34:06,168 --> 00:34:09,186
No, that is
a safety-deposit box key.
811
00:34:09,188 --> 00:34:10,971
You can tell by the teeth.
812
00:34:15,843 --> 00:34:19,196
S.L.B.
813
00:34:19,198 --> 00:34:21,531
Sequoia Liberty Bank?
814
00:34:21,533 --> 00:34:23,900
Box number 699.
815
00:34:29,457 --> 00:34:31,274
Huh.
816
00:34:31,276 --> 00:34:33,043
Cheech and Chong's
Next Movie?
817
00:34:33,045 --> 00:34:34,661
Well, it's not a good movie,
818
00:34:34,663 --> 00:34:37,381
but it didn't make me want
to commit a homicide.
819
00:34:38,833 --> 00:34:40,834
Hmm, the movie is gone.
820
00:34:40,836 --> 00:34:42,169
You see this slot here?
821
00:34:42,171 --> 00:34:43,253
That's there to stop you
822
00:34:43,255 --> 00:34:44,721
from recording
over the tape.
823
00:34:44,723 --> 00:34:47,007
You put Scotch tape there,
it allows you to do so.
824
00:34:47,009 --> 00:34:50,927
Now all we got to do is
find a VCR... in 2012.
825
00:34:50,929 --> 00:34:52,929
Have you not been to my home
yet, Detective Bell?
826
00:34:52,931 --> 00:34:55,182
I maintain several VCRs.
827
00:34:57,551 --> 00:34:59,653
I like to watch
police interrogations
828
00:34:59,655 --> 00:35:01,387
from the '70s and '80s.
829
00:35:01,389 --> 00:35:04,157
Techniques were rawer
back then, and, uh, you do,
830
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:06,243
on occasion, learn
something useful.
831
00:35:06,245 --> 00:35:07,661
Oh.
832
00:35:07,663 --> 00:35:09,413
This is one of my CIs;
I've been waiting
833
00:35:09,415 --> 00:35:10,781
to hear from him
on another case.
834
00:35:10,783 --> 00:35:12,099
You mind if I take this
in private?
835
00:35:12,101 --> 00:35:13,867
My parlor is at your disposal.
836
00:35:13,869 --> 00:35:15,952
What up, Carlo?
837
00:35:15,954 --> 00:35:17,754
Mm-hmm.
838
00:35:17,756 --> 00:35:22,075
So, listen, I texted Alfredo,
and we're all set for tomorrow.
839
00:35:22,077 --> 00:35:23,927
Coffee at 9:00.
840
00:35:23,929 --> 00:35:27,180
Alfredo, yeah, uh, I don't think
that's going to work out.
841
00:35:27,182 --> 00:35:28,915
Spark's no longer there.
842
00:35:28,917 --> 00:35:31,685
I think I'm going to have
to seek sponsorship elsewhere.
843
00:35:31,687 --> 00:35:33,854
What are you talking about?
You hand-picked him.
844
00:35:33,856 --> 00:35:36,189
Hmm, we can do better.
845
00:35:39,527 --> 00:35:41,394
Is this about us?
846
00:35:41,396 --> 00:35:43,280
Is what about us?
Your reluctance to find a sponsor.
847
00:35:43,282 --> 00:35:45,282
I'm starting to think
you're being difficult
848
00:35:45,284 --> 00:35:46,950
because you don't want me
to leave.
849
00:35:46,952 --> 00:35:48,452
You never told me
you were funny.
850
00:35:48,454 --> 00:35:49,569
You picked Alfredo
because you thought
851
00:35:49,571 --> 00:35:51,271
I wasn't gonna like him,
852
00:35:51,273 --> 00:35:53,206
but now that I do, you're trying
to push him away, too.
853
00:35:53,208 --> 00:35:54,908
Okay, what you're
feeling right now--
854
00:35:54,910 --> 00:35:56,576
I've seen
it before.
855
00:35:56,578 --> 00:35:57,878
Clients start
to worry about what
856
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,379
their lives
are going to be like
857
00:35:59,381 --> 00:36:00,747
after their
companion leaves.
858
00:36:00,749 --> 00:36:02,632
They kind of get a
separation anxiety.
859
00:36:02,634 --> 00:36:04,217
It's pretty standard, actually.
860
00:36:04,219 --> 00:36:06,052
I guess, since you've never
been anything
861
00:36:06,054 --> 00:36:07,971
but opposed to me
being here, it...
862
00:36:07,973 --> 00:36:11,558
it never occurred to me
that you might feel it, too.
863
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,226
I don't know what you're on,
864
00:36:13,228 --> 00:36:15,312
but old me would definitely
have wanted some.
865
00:36:15,314 --> 00:36:17,764
Listen, I am...
You're back. Excellent.
866
00:36:32,663 --> 00:36:34,314
Hey, is that Pradeep?
867
00:36:34,316 --> 00:36:35,665
He looks about...
868
00:36:35,667 --> 00:36:36,850
25 years old there.
869
00:36:36,852 --> 00:36:38,485
Hey, sweetie.
870
00:36:38,487 --> 00:36:40,220
I'm so glad we finally
got to have this date.
871
00:36:40,222 --> 00:36:41,972
Me, too.
You ready to party?
872
00:36:41,974 --> 00:36:43,757
Yes.
She's a prostitute.
873
00:36:43,759 --> 00:36:45,525
That's interesting.
874
00:36:45,527 --> 00:36:47,427
High-end, by
the looks of it.
875
00:36:50,531 --> 00:36:53,850
You want to help me with this?
Sure.
876
00:36:57,171 --> 00:36:59,639
Hello, Ms. Vanowen.
877
00:37:05,646 --> 00:37:07,847
Well, we can keep watching
if you'd both like,
878
00:37:07,849 --> 00:37:10,483
but I'd say we've
found our bomber.
879
00:37:15,656 --> 00:37:19,292
All this just so you can
ask me a few questions?
880
00:37:19,294 --> 00:37:23,246
Just a consent form, ma'am.
Standard procedure.
881
00:37:23,248 --> 00:37:26,883
So, now you want to tell me
what this is all about?
882
00:37:26,885 --> 00:37:30,370
Hey, sweetie. I'm so glad we
finally got to have this date.
883
00:37:30,372 --> 00:37:31,755
Me, too.
Ready to party?
884
00:37:31,757 --> 00:37:33,206
Yes.
Good.
885
00:37:33,208 --> 00:37:35,541
I'm sorry. Was that
supposed to be me?
886
00:37:35,543 --> 00:37:37,310
I've learned
since we spoke
887
00:37:37,312 --> 00:37:39,813
that you come from
modest origins.
888
00:37:39,815 --> 00:37:42,515
Father a contractor,
mother a homemaker.
889
00:37:42,517 --> 00:37:44,884
So, when you got
into business school,
890
00:37:44,886 --> 00:37:46,202
you needed
a source of income.
891
00:37:46,204 --> 00:37:47,904
Something to pay
your tuition
892
00:37:47,906 --> 00:37:51,074
and provide you with
seed money for your company.
893
00:37:51,076 --> 00:37:53,493
You turned,
in your hour of need,
894
00:37:53,495 --> 00:37:55,745
to the world's
oldest profession.
895
00:37:55,747 --> 00:37:59,282
Took to it with
some gusto, I'd say.
896
00:37:59,284 --> 00:38:02,669
Okay, let's turn this off.
897
00:38:02,671 --> 00:38:05,922
You built a successful
new life for yourself
898
00:38:05,924 --> 00:38:09,426
on the ashes of your old one,
and no one was any the wiser.
899
00:38:09,428 --> 00:38:14,047
Until Pradeep Singh
got a job at Vanowen.
900
00:38:14,049 --> 00:38:16,049
It probably took him
a while to realize
901
00:38:16,051 --> 00:38:18,101
that his new boss
was one of the women
902
00:38:18,103 --> 00:38:20,136
that he had secretly
recorded years ago,
903
00:38:20,138 --> 00:38:23,223
but when he did,
he turned the screw.
904
00:38:23,225 --> 00:38:25,392
So to speak.
905
00:38:25,394 --> 00:38:27,527
Mmm. Three promotions in a year?
906
00:38:27,529 --> 00:38:29,595
That smells like a payoff to me.
907
00:38:29,597 --> 00:38:33,316
No. I promoted Pradeep
because he deserved it.
908
00:38:33,318 --> 00:38:36,820
Small confession:
909
00:38:36,822 --> 00:38:39,105
I find the anti-
prostitution laws
910
00:38:39,107 --> 00:38:40,773
in this country
rather Victorian.
911
00:38:40,775 --> 00:38:42,292
Sex is a commodity.
912
00:38:42,294 --> 00:38:44,494
Why shouldn't there
be a market for it?
913
00:38:44,496 --> 00:38:47,414
But, of course,
not everyone thinks like I do.
914
00:38:47,416 --> 00:38:49,282
Which is why
915
00:38:49,284 --> 00:38:51,451
you had to pay Pradeep
until his demands
916
00:38:51,453 --> 00:38:54,620
escalated past the point
that you could meet them.
917
00:38:54,622 --> 00:38:57,924
Then you cast about
for a way to kill him.
918
00:38:59,310 --> 00:39:02,628
Now, you already had threatening
letters from the ELM.
919
00:39:02,630 --> 00:39:05,465
So you built a pipe bomb,
planning to blame them.
920
00:39:05,467 --> 00:39:06,850
But when it didn't detonate,
921
00:39:06,852 --> 00:39:09,519
you simply shot Pradeep
and walled him off.
922
00:39:09,521 --> 00:39:11,237
I imagine it was your father
923
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,606
who taught you
how to hang drywall.
924
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:18,345
That's very creative,
I'll give you that much.
925
00:39:18,347 --> 00:39:21,281
Can he just sling mud at me
like this?
926
00:39:21,283 --> 00:39:23,616
You can seek counsel
at any time, ma'am.
927
00:39:23,618 --> 00:39:25,168
Hardly surprising
that you were the one
928
00:39:25,170 --> 00:39:27,487
to lead the search for new
offices for Vanowen S.C.
929
00:39:27,489 --> 00:39:28,988
You were, after all,
the only person who knew
930
00:39:28,990 --> 00:39:30,206
that there was an
unexploded bomb in the wall.
931
00:39:30,208 --> 00:39:32,125
You know what?
932
00:39:32,127 --> 00:39:35,211
I think I will
actually call my lawyer.
933
00:39:35,213 --> 00:39:36,546
Well, if you do,
Ms. Vanowen,
934
00:39:36,548 --> 00:39:37,931
you might want
to tell him
935
00:39:37,933 --> 00:39:39,766
you're about
to be arrested.
936
00:39:41,168 --> 00:39:44,003
You have an old videotape
and some stupid theories.
937
00:39:44,005 --> 00:39:45,188
This is not evidence.
938
00:39:45,190 --> 00:39:46,773
Yes, well,
I found something
939
00:39:46,775 --> 00:39:48,475
on one of the
scraps of paper
940
00:39:48,477 --> 00:39:49,943
that was used to
pack the bomb.
941
00:39:49,945 --> 00:39:51,844
An imprint of the
word "Novocain".
942
00:39:51,846 --> 00:39:53,697
Useful handwriting sample,
943
00:39:53,699 --> 00:39:55,815
but the message itself,
rather opaque.
944
00:39:55,817 --> 00:39:58,902
Until one considers your love
of crosswords. Novocain.
945
00:39:58,904 --> 00:40:00,853
The answer to 144 across
946
00:40:00,855 --> 00:40:03,022
from the New York Times
crossword,
947
00:40:03,024 --> 00:40:04,624
October 13, 2008.
948
00:40:04,626 --> 00:40:07,160
The clue was "pain's enemy"
in case you forgot.
949
00:40:07,162 --> 00:40:09,379
Now, Detective Bell and the
Questioned Documents Unit
950
00:40:09,381 --> 00:40:11,814
have just matched it to a
handwriting sample you gave us
951
00:40:11,914 --> 00:40:13,964
when you signed
your consent form.
952
00:40:15,053 --> 00:40:18,638
Mmm. Detective Bell,
the honor is all yours.
953
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,758
Ms. Vanowen, would you
face that way, please?
954
00:40:23,377 --> 00:40:25,311
You are under arrest
for the bombing
955
00:40:25,313 --> 00:40:27,931
that took the lives
of David Preston and Roy Smalls.
956
00:40:36,557 --> 00:40:38,691
This is a surprise.
957
00:40:38,693 --> 00:40:40,443
I was on my way over
to show you something,
958
00:40:40,445 --> 00:40:41,745
then I got your message.
959
00:40:41,747 --> 00:40:44,414
Yeah, well... nothing personal.
960
00:40:44,416 --> 00:40:46,833
I don't take it
personal. It's okay.
961
00:40:46,835 --> 00:40:48,585
But since I'm here...
962
00:40:50,287 --> 00:40:52,655
Ever since I got
straightened out,
963
00:40:52,657 --> 00:40:54,740
I've been picking up
work with car companies.
964
00:40:54,742 --> 00:40:56,409
I test their
security systems.
965
00:40:56,411 --> 00:40:58,911
I guess they figure anything
that can keep me out
966
00:40:58,913 --> 00:41:00,764
is good enough for
their customers.
967
00:41:00,766 --> 00:41:03,516
My last job just came in.
968
00:41:03,518 --> 00:41:05,685
Miss Watson tells me that
you're into lock-picking.
969
00:41:05,687 --> 00:41:07,971
I figure maybe you
want to give it a shot.
970
00:41:07,973 --> 00:41:09,639
Well, the truth is, Alfredo,
971
00:41:09,641 --> 00:41:12,108
I'm already quite adept
at defeating security systems.
972
00:41:12,110 --> 00:41:14,594
This stuff's not even
on the market yet.
973
00:41:14,596 --> 00:41:16,229
So, really...
974
00:41:16,231 --> 00:41:18,448
how would you know
if you could beat it?
975
00:41:25,873 --> 00:41:28,875
You know
you want to try.
976
00:41:28,877 --> 00:41:30,743
Obviously your idea.
977
00:41:30,745 --> 00:41:32,796
Zeroing in on
common ground.
978
00:41:32,798 --> 00:41:35,215
Hoping it's enough
to make me reconsider him.
979
00:41:35,217 --> 00:41:36,949
It won't be.
980
00:41:36,951 --> 00:41:40,086
What's the harm in getting
to know the guy?
981
00:41:41,972 --> 00:41:43,356
One way or the other,
982
00:41:43,358 --> 00:41:45,892
I'm gonna be out
of your life in a few weeks.
983
00:41:46,811 --> 00:41:48,628
Maybe you're
dreading that day;
984
00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:51,331
maybe you're counting
the seconds.
985
00:41:51,333 --> 00:41:53,633
Either way,
I'm going to make sure
986
00:41:53,635 --> 00:41:56,820
you're ready
when the time comes.
987
00:41:56,822 --> 00:41:58,238
I promise.
988
00:42:02,827 --> 00:42:04,977
If I help him
with his assignment,
989
00:42:04,979 --> 00:42:07,530
it does not mean I am assenting
to his sponsorship.
990
00:42:07,532 --> 00:42:08,698
Of course it doesn't.
991
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:10,667
I am quite self-sufficient.
992
00:42:10,669 --> 00:42:12,836
Of course you are.
993
00:42:28,299 --> 00:42:29,900
Factory-installed
immobilizer
994
00:42:29,902 --> 00:42:32,068
or after-market
tracking system?
995
00:42:32,070 --> 00:42:34,020
Not telling.
996
00:42:36,274 --> 00:42:37,640
That's quite all right.
997
00:42:37,642 --> 00:42:41,144
I'll just figure it out
for myself.
998
00:42:42,553 --> 00:42:44,219
I'm entirely
self-sufficient, you know.
