00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:56,434
My, uh, friend Sheila lives
over on Oxford.
171
00:08:56,602 --> 00:08:58,229
She refused to believe me
when I told her
172
00:08:58,404 --> 00:09:00,429
that Saint Teri
was entertaining a gentleman caller,
173
00:09:00,606 --> 00:09:03,370
so I took this picture as proof.
174
00:09:03,576 --> 00:09:04,600
HOLMES:
Hmm.
175
00:09:04,777 --> 00:09:08,304
NEIGHBOR:
Like I said, handsome, right?
176
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:12,247
His license plate
is particularly fetching.
177
00:09:14,287 --> 00:09:17,779
SILVER:
I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm stunned.
178
00:09:18,324 --> 00:09:20,690
Teri was an...
She was an amazing person.
179
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:26,192
She volunteered here
from the very beginning.
180
00:09:26,699 --> 00:09:28,064
Please.
181
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:31,202
In that time and with her help,
our organization raised money
182
00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:35,568
to collect and destroy
over 1 million undetonated land mines.
183
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:38,336
She was as passionate
about our cause
184
00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:39,876
as anyone I've ever known.
185
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:41,843
Is that all
that she was passionate about?
186
00:09:42,481 --> 00:09:44,039
Uh, I'm not sure what you're asking.
187
00:09:44,216 --> 00:09:47,379
Intercourse.
Were you and Teri having it?
188
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:50,078
I assume you're referring
to the conversational variety.
189
00:09:50,289 --> 00:09:51,483
No, I meant fornication.
190
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:53,022
The insertion of part A into part...
191
00:09:53,192 --> 00:09:55,387
Mr. Silver,
we are not here to judge you.
192
00:09:55,561 --> 00:09:56,585
Perish the thought. No.
193
00:09:56,796 --> 00:09:58,730
We're just simply enquiring
194
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:01,366
if your time with Mrs. Purcell
involved coitus.
195
00:10:01,867 --> 00:10:04,768
No, it did not.
196
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:07,201
Her neighbor seems to be
under the impression it did.
197
00:10:07,373 --> 00:10:10,240
She said you had a habit of visiting
when Teri's husband was away.
198
00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:12,707
Well, I visited when he was there too.
Oliver was a friend.
199
00:10:12,878 --> 00:10:14,778
I've known him
for as long as I've known Teri.
200
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:17,882
Can you account for your whereabouts
between 9 and midnight last night?
201
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:20,610
Yes. A friend and his wife
had me over for dinner.
202
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:23,880
- Why?
- We'd just like to call and confirm.
203
00:10:24,056 --> 00:10:26,752
- So if you wouldn't mind...
- Okay.
204
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:31,929
I don't really care
what you think about me,
205
00:10:32,098 --> 00:10:34,532
but you got the wrong idea
about Teri.
206
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:39,103
She was as devoted to her family
as she was to this foundation.
207
00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:41,796
She was without doubt
one of the finest human beings
208
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:44,101
I've ever had the pleasure
of knowing.
209
00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:47,640
Another suspect, another alibi.
210
00:10:47,847 --> 00:10:49,644
You're angry because that man
and the husband
211
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,441
could prove
they didn't commit a murder?
212
00:10:51,617 --> 00:10:53,380
I'm angry
because I've run out of suspects.
213
00:10:53,552 --> 00:10:57,386
At least for the time being.
I really liked that one too. Oily.
214
00:10:57,556 --> 00:11:00,218
He helps run a charity
that dismantles land mines.
215
00:11:00,393 --> 00:11:03,021
John Wayne Gacy gave his time
to several charitable foundations.
216
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:04,822
Does that make him
a good person too?
217
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:06,988
So that was the captain.
218
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,896
He talked to head of security
at Teri Purcell's hotel.
219
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:12,299
Now, he said they had
a prostitution problem recently.
220
00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:15,668
Some guests got solicited
in the hotel bar and complained.
221
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:18,343
Now, Teri cracked down,
cleared out the working girls.
222
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:21,002
A few weeks later, she gets
some threatening anonymous calls.
223
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:22,408
Probably from their pimps.
224
00:11:22,581 --> 00:11:23,741
Yeah, I'm gonna head to Vice,
225
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:26,009
see who might be running hookers
at high-end hotels.
226
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:27,812
You wanna come?
227
00:11:28,754 --> 00:11:30,187
I appreciate the offer, detective,
228
00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:34,382
but I've just realized
that Watson and I have a thing.
229
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:36,588
All right.
230
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:38,488
A thing?
231
00:11:38,664 --> 00:11:40,325
Why go to Vice
to explore the problem
232
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:42,797
when you can go directly
to the source?
233
00:11:42,968 --> 00:11:46,460
Tell me,
have you ever been whore-fishing?
234
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:50,105
Her?
235
00:11:50,276 --> 00:11:52,608
HOLMES:
Too obvious. Too intoxicated.
236
00:11:52,778 --> 00:11:55,804
High-end escorts are more polished
and discreet.
237
00:11:55,981 --> 00:11:57,005
Mark my words,
238
00:11:57,183 --> 00:11:59,344
no one is gonna take you seriously
as an investigator
239
00:11:59,518 --> 00:12:02,544
if you can't spot a fille de joie
at 20 paces.
240
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:04,087
What is the point of this again?
241
00:12:04,256 --> 00:12:06,019
As Detective Bell suggested,
242
00:12:06,192 --> 00:12:08,956
if Teri Purcell ran afoul of working girls
in her establishment,
243
00:12:09,128 --> 00:12:10,595
it may well have led to her death.
244
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:12,526
Who better to fill in the holes,
as it were,
245
00:12:12,698 --> 00:12:13,926
than the strumpets themselves?
246
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,236
Teri Purcell was the one
who put a ban on them in the hotel.
247
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:20,235
And how do you know
any of these women are...?
248
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:22,333
[WHISPERS]
Are call girls?
249
00:12:23,008 --> 00:12:25,408
When the cat's away,
the mice will play.
250
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,739
In this case,
the cat got her skull caved in.
251
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:30,313
- The mice are the prostitutes.
- I get it.
252
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:32,610
I just think your mouse hunt
is a little misogynistic.
253
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:35,481
Not misogynistic. Anthropological.
254
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:37,053
The species we are looking for
255
00:12:37,223 --> 00:12:40,351
is attractive, well dressed,
quick to laugh,
256
00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:42,585
and highly skilled
at spotting out-of-town men
257
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:46,223
whose desires
are not being fulfilled at home.
258
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:48,332
Like her.
259
00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:57,398
Excuse me.
260
00:12:57,576 --> 00:12:59,373
Might we offer you a drink
and some company?
261
00:12:59,545 --> 00:13:01,376
- Oh, a drink would be lovely.
- Excellent.
262
00:13:01,547 --> 00:13:03,777
Now that's out of the way,
my friend and I were wondering
263
00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:05,814
what you might charge
to sleep with us.
264
00:13:05,985 --> 00:13:07,009
- Just kidding.
- Heh.
265
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:09,450
We work with the police,
and, well, we were wondering
266
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,419
if you or any
of your fellow working girls
267
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:13,922
might know who killed the manager
in the hotel last night.
268
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:16,220
Oh, I'm sorry.
I think you have wrong idea about me.
269
00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:17,589
Do I, now? I know your clothes.
270
00:13:17,763 --> 00:13:19,230
They say sophisticated
businesswoman,
271
00:13:19,398 --> 00:13:22,231
but the faint line across your thighs
says garter belt with stockings.
272
00:13:22,401 --> 00:13:23,868
And you've made meaningful
eye contact
273
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:25,628
with almost every unattached man
in here,
274
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,136
even the paunchy ones.
275
00:13:27,306 --> 00:13:29,069
Now, should I alert security
to your presence,
276
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:33,735
or would you mind just answering
just a couple of questions? Hmm?
277
00:13:34,413 --> 00:13:35,641
What do you wanna know?
278
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:39,376
As I said, the manager of the hotel
was killed last night.
279
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:41,747
We're investigating the possibility
280
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:44,788
that one of your managers
may have had something to do with it.
281
00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:47,589
Why would any of those guys
wanna kill Teri?
282
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,389
- So you knew her?
- Of course. We all did.
283
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:55,295
But trust me, none of my managers
would ever lay a finger on her.
284
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:58,664
- Not in a million years.
- How can you be so sure?
285
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:03,468
Because she was the reason
that most of us worked here.
286
00:14:03,642 --> 00:14:05,974
We were told
that she chased you all out
287
00:14:06,145 --> 00:14:09,273
because some of the hotel guests
complained.
288
00:14:09,448 --> 00:14:11,814
She just helped us
to keep a lower profile.
289
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:13,281
She would sneak us in the back,
290
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:16,353
put us up in the service elevators
to meet the clients.
291
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:17,852
She wanted us here.

00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:20,417
[ESCORT CLEARS THROAT]
293
00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:24,757
Now, if you two decide
you ever do want a date,
294
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:26,864
call me.
295
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,432
I think we'd have some fun.
296
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:46,045
GREGSON: So far every hooker we've
talked to has said the same thing.
297
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:49,051
Ever since Teri Purcell
took over the hotel in '09,
298
00:14:49,221 --> 00:14:52,019
she's been arranging dates
with rich businessmen
299
00:14:52,191 --> 00:14:54,284
and diplomats that were visiting
from the U.N.
300
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:55,791
Couple of months ago,
301
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:59,328
someone started complaining
about the prostitutes in the lobby.
302
00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:01,398
She started moving them
through the laundry area,
303
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:03,091
where she'd sabotaged
the cameras.
304
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:05,737
When their business was complete,
she'd sneak them back out.
305
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:09,705
Now, get ready for the weird part.
She did it all for free.
306
00:15:09,875 --> 00:15:12,036
You're saying
she was a volunteer madam?
307
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:15,002
According to the girls
who worked there, yeah.
308
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:16,841
Their pimps loved her.
309
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:19,211
What about the threatening
phone calls she received?
310
00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:22,183
They said that they came from
the one girl that she did have to ban.
311
00:15:22,354 --> 00:15:24,083
The girl got high in the lobby,
made a scene,
312
00:15:24,256 --> 00:15:25,348
so she had to cut her off.
313
00:15:25,824 --> 00:15:27,155
We tracked her down.
314
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:30,762
She's six months into a bid
for possession, so she's not our killer.
315
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:33,694
What? Excuse me.
316
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:35,528
I don't get it.
317
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:37,669
Why would Teri Purcell
risk her career
318
00:15:37,836 --> 00:15:40,327
to run a nonprofit brothel
out of her hotel?
319
00:15:40,906 --> 00:15:43,397
House of secrets, that place.
320
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:46,043
Perhaps it warrants a second look.
321
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:54,352
You know, it occurs to me
that once you've accepted my offer
322
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,614
of an apprenticeship,
you should probably start taking notes.
323
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:00,520
I'm not becoming your apprentice.
324
00:16:00,693 --> 00:16:03,719
No, of course not.
Not in an official capacity.
325
00:16:03,896 --> 00:16:06,091
More likely you'll peddle some fiction
to my father
326
00:16:06,265 --> 00:16:09,132
about me not being ready
to be alone yet. Hmm?
327
00:16:09,301 --> 00:16:13,067
Whatever your pride dictates,
I shan't hold it against you.
328
00:16:14,273 --> 00:16:16,173
You know I'm not staying, right?

to profound professional satisfaction?
330
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,783
Why would you?

00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:30,449
What are you doing?
332
00:16:30,923 --> 00:16:33,414
Secret compartments
have been a part of cabinet-making

00:16:33,592 --> 00:16:35,924
since the Age of Enlightenment.
334
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:38,154
You know,
I once spent a thrilling afternoon

examining a Queen Anne secretary
with no fewer than 25 hidden caches.
336
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,474
What is it?
337
00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:58,673
Well, it's a compact, but it's...

00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:01,445
It's a very heavy compact.
339
00:17:03,455 --> 00:17:06,481
It's not even Teri's shade.
She's much more of a winter.
340
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:07,852
Hmm.
341
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:19,032
Wireless connector.
342
00:17:19,204 --> 00:17:25,109
Now, with this, Teri could sign in
to an entirely private network.
343
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:31,339
HOLMES:
Hmm.
344
00:17:31,517 --> 00:17:35,146
WATSON: Hidden cameras.
- Nine hidden cameras.
345
00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:38,115
Well, I think I've worked out
how Teri was profiting
346
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:40,485
from her arrangement
with the hookers.
347
00:17:41,126 --> 00:17:42,684
Blackmail.
348
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:45,694
It would explain why Teri allowed
the prostitutes to work at her hotel
349
00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:47,297
but never took a cut of the money.
350
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,457
She gave them access,
arranged their dates.
351
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:51,967
They gave her the opportunity
to capture guests on film
352
00:17:52,137 --> 00:17:53,798
in flagrante delicto.
353
00:17:53,972 --> 00:17:56,702
Well, if you're right, that means
every guest she ever blackmailed
354
00:17:56,875 --> 00:17:58,502
is a potential suspect in her murder.
355
00:17:58,677 --> 00:17:59,701
Correct.
356
00:17:59,878 --> 00:18:02,312
You said you found a couple
of thousand hours of footage?
357
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:03,971
The cameras ran 24/7.
358
00:18:04,149 --> 00:18:05,844
Unfortunately,
there are no time stamps
359
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:07,349
or references on the videos.
360
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,216
Which means it'll probably take forever
to identify the guests
361
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,325
who performed blackmail-worthy acts
on tape.
362
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:18,827
I'm gonna need teams working
on shifts to get through it all.
363
00:18:18,997 --> 00:18:22,728
- It's gonna take days.
- Not necessarily.
364
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,751
Do I even wanna know
what happened?
365
00:18:43,922 --> 00:18:47,756
You haven't missed a thing.
More yak than shack so far.
366
00:18:49,294 --> 00:18:52,627
Curiously, many of these videos
are entirely prostitute-free.
367
00:18:52,831 --> 00:18:54,458
I meant the garbage.
368
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:56,464
Borrowed our neighbor's bin
to test your theory
369
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:59,763
about physical mess
and its correlation to relapse.
370
00:18:59,938 --> 00:19:01,269
I've been sitting here for hours,
371
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,238
and I haven't felt
any additional temptation to use drugs.
372
00:19:04,409 --> 00:19:06,172
We'll see how I am in the morning.

Yes.

Hi, it's, um, Carly Purcell.
377
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:26,260
You gave me your number
the other day.

00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:30,262
Yes. I'm glad you called.

Is everything okay?
380
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:34,967
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I haven't taken any pills or anything.

00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:36,869
I just...
382
00:19:38,076 --> 00:19:40,977
I just needed to talk to someone.
383
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:44,639
Okay. Well, I'm here.
You sound upset.
384
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:48,180
Heh. You know what? I don't even
know you. This was stupid. L...
385
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:53,017
No, I told you to call me

My mom, I don't know,
the way she was...
388
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:04,331
She's not...
She's not what people thought.

What do you mean?
390
00:20:07,806 --> 00:20:10,604
Carly, tell me where you are,
and I will come and meet you.
391
00:20:13,178 --> 00:20:16,511
I'm really sorry, but I've gotta go.
392
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:23,044
Hey.
393
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,816
I thought you'd still be looking
at that secret-camera video.
394
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:27,686
I finished an hour ago.
395
00:20:27,859 --> 00:20:31,625
It turns out the photographs hidden
in Mrs. Purcell's computer
396
00:20:31,797 --> 00:20:33,025
are far more interesting.
397
00:20:33,198 --> 00:20:36,258
- So Teri had dirty pictures too?
- Mm-mm.
398
00:20:43,275 --> 00:20:44,674
Wait, it gets better.
399
00:20:45,877 --> 00:20:48,971
I know what you're thinking.
Innocuous, mundane.
400
00:20:49,147 --> 00:20:53,743
But each of these stultifying images
contains almost a gig of memory.
401
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:54,977
- That's enormous.
- Mm.
402
00:20:55,153 --> 00:20:56,814
That's steganography:
403
00:20:56,989 --> 00:20:59,924
The science of embedding
hidden messages in plain sight.
404
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,992
Security through obscurity.
405
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,094
So Teri's picture files are so large
406
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,958
because she has content
hidden in them.
407
00:21:06,131 --> 00:21:09,225
Mm.
Luckily, I have a decryption program
408
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:14,065
that should unlock the coded data
in a matter of minutes.

00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:18,941
Carly called me last night.
410
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:22,137
I didn't mention it because
she confided in me the other day.
411
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:23,611
About her drug use?
412
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:28,609
I overheard a snippet of conversation
while I was questioning her father.
413
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,846
It didn't seem relevant.
Has it become relevant?
414
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:32,615
She did mention something
about her mother
415
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:35,885
not being the person
that everyone thought she was.

I must warn you,
whatever's on these videos

00:21:38,096 --> 00:21:41,293

and most startling material

00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:45,402

so you might not want to watch this.

At first I thought she was using them
as blackmail.

Why else would she facilitate

Now I have the answer.
445
00:23:14,326 --> 00:23:17,989
The escorts made the hotel popular
amongst international power brokers:

Your firm recently signed a contract
with the Department of Defense.

N.Y.P.D. Handles the homicide,
FBI handles the espionage.

are the same thing.

00:25:10,475 --> 00:25:11,601
Has anyone heard from her?
486
00:25:11,776 --> 00:25:13,676
She wasn't home
when we went to pick up Oliver,
487
00:25:13,845 --> 00:25:17,144
- so we left a uniform at the house.
- She's 17 years old and she's in crisis.
488
00:25:17,315 --> 00:25:18,475
Her mother was just murdered,
489
00:25:18,650 --> 00:25:20,641
and she's about to find out
her parents are spies.
490
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,014
- We need to find her.
- She's right.
491
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:26,282
Carly could be in danger, especially if
she was part of her parents' operation.
492
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:29,689
I talked to this girl. She is a confused
teenager, not a sleeper agent.
493
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:31,123
And now she's alone.
494
00:25:33,098 --> 00:25:35,760
Spies are never alone.
495
00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:37,424
They have handlers.

Ladies and gentlemen, kudos for your
attraction to such a worthy cause.

00:25:49,247 --> 00:25:50,714
The fact that I'm about

00:25:50,882 --> 00:25:52,975
that Mr. Silver
is actually a Russian spy
503
00:25:53,151 --> 00:25:56,484

from giving, and giving generously.

I don't know what the hell
you are talking about,
505
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:00,814

how may I be of assistance?

Oliver Purcell's agreed to talk to us

I told the feds we wouldn't
have found the guy without you.

They said you could sit in, all right?

Our handlers thought
we'd work well together as a couple.

Not because we were in love.
536
00:27:25,076 --> 00:27:26,566
Our relationship was never romantic.
537
00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:29,976
It was a patriotic transaction.

But Carly is your biological daughter,
correct?

00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:36,345
That was two operatives

We started having sex
when we were urged to conceive.

Teri and I found ourselves
with a daughter.

I may not have loved Teri,
but we both loved Carly.

Come on, Mr. Purcell.

The Russians invested a great deal

They must have had a plan for Carly.

00:28:13,958 --> 00:28:15,789
They did.

But I worked 20 years
for the SVR living a lie.
553
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,994
I wanted more for my daughter.

No.

Teri wanted to tell Carly.
557
00:28:30,008 --> 00:28:33,239
To Teri, serving Russia
was still the highest calling.
558

That's got to be a hard disagreement
to resolve.

before I let the SVR
use my daughter.

to shut Teri and Geoffrey up.

00:34:52,056 --> 00:34:56,925
I guess we'll just let the feds do
whatever it is the feds do.

HOLMES:
I must say, Watson, I'm quite flattered.
680
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:20,217
It's a lovely homage
to my methodology.
681
00:35:20,384 --> 00:35:22,477
But why apply it to a case
that's already solved?
682
00:35:22,653 --> 00:35:25,713
WATSON: That door was closed.
- Was it?
683
00:35:26,491 --> 00:35:27,981
Look, I just...
684
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:30,150
Carly Purcell didn't deserve
what's happened to her.
685
00:35:30,328 --> 00:35:33,195
I just thought if I looked at the
evidence one more time... I don't know.
686
00:35:33,364 --> 00:35:36,891
You could what? Rewrite history?
She already confessed.
687
00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:38,660

no clean bowls or plates?

[SIGHS]
691
00:35:49,914 --> 00:35:53,907
How do you deal with cases not
working out the way you want them to?
692
00:35:54,118 --> 00:35:56,643
The only promise a puzzle makes
is an answer.
693
00:35:56,854 --> 00:36:00,654
Liking the answer doesn't factor in.
In our line of work it mustn't.
694
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,218
You're right.
695
00:36:03,961 --> 00:36:06,327
- What is that?
- Oh, uh,
696
00:36:06,497 --> 00:36:09,898
Teri Purcell's autopsy report
just showed up on our front doorstep.
697
00:36:10,067 --> 00:36:13,935
Oh, I actually requested that
from Gregson's office.
698
00:36:23,514 --> 00:36:25,812
There's a break
in the fourth metacarpal.
699
00:36:25,983 --> 00:36:27,974
That is a boxer's fracture.

Resulting from a clenched fist
striking something or someone.
701
00:36:34,158 --> 00:36:37,719
You don't think that Teri
fought back against Carly, do you?
702
00:36:37,895 --> 00:36:40,386
She just willingly confessed
to matricide this afternoon.
703
00:36:40,565 --> 00:36:44,228
I doubt she would leave out the part
where her mom fought back.

705
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,232

HOLMES:
Mr. Silver.
707
00:36:59,083 --> 00:37:01,574
Such a pleasure to see you again.
708
00:37:02,286 --> 00:37:03,480
You're angry.

one of those deals you mentioned,

looking to trade you back
to where you came from.

00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,795
I'm afraid I'm about to bollocks
that all up for you now.
712
00:37:13,965 --> 00:37:16,934
That would be impressive.
713
00:37:17,101 --> 00:37:19,296
For the record, Mr. Silver,
you never saw Teri,
714
00:37:19,470 --> 00:37:22,735
you never visited her at the hotel
the night of her murder?
715
00:37:23,608 --> 00:37:26,839
As I explained to your men
the day I met them,
716
00:37:27,011 --> 00:37:31,141
I didn't see her for the entire week
before she died.

Big lie.
719
00:37:34,051 --> 00:37:36,645
You saw her the day she died.
720
00:37:36,821 --> 00:37:38,755
You came running into her office
when you realized
721
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:42,086
her meeting with her daughter
had gone south.
722
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,888
You then pressured Carly
into joining the family business,
723
00:37:45,062 --> 00:37:46,324
and you asked her to leave
724
00:37:46,497 --> 00:37:48,522
so you could dispose
of her mother's body.
725
00:37:48,733 --> 00:37:52,965
The only problem was,
she wasn't dead yet.
726
00:37:53,137 --> 00:37:55,833
You had a big decision to make.
727
00:37:56,007 --> 00:37:57,770
You'd just used her apparent murder
728
00:37:57,975 --> 00:38:01,274
to leverage her daughter
into becoming a spy.
729
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:04,937
Carly was quite an asset for you.
730
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:06,606
A real U.S. Citizen.

Not much use in the short term,
but in the long term, sky's the limit.

I mean, she could be President Purcell
when all was said and done.
733
00:38:16,527 --> 00:38:20,657
Unfortunately, the same
could not be said for poor Teri.
734
00:38:20,831 --> 00:38:24,358
So you decided to retire her.
735
00:38:24,568 --> 00:38:25,967
Teri fought back, though.
736
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,798
She hit you hard enough
to break her hand.
737
00:38:28,005 --> 00:38:31,463
When that didn't work,
she relieved you of that.
738
00:38:31,642 --> 00:38:32,904
Used it to stab at you.
739
00:38:34,245 --> 00:38:36,736
She only managed
to break it open in her hand.
740
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:38,806
Nonsense.
741
00:38:39,016 --> 00:38:41,416
Yeah. I can understand
why it looks that way, yeah.
742
00:38:41,585 --> 00:38:43,917
After all, there was no ink
found at the crime scene.
743
00:38:44,088 --> 00:38:47,615
None on Teri, none on any
of the other linens in the washer.
744
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:51,489
But then I thought,
just because you can't see a stain,
745
00:38:51,662 --> 00:38:53,493
doesn't mean it isn't there.
746
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:56,633
Are you familiar with the concept
of invisible ink?

00:38:59,670 --> 00:39:05,165
Yeah. Heh. Yeah, trust me. I know
precisely how ridiculous it sounds.

in your shoe. Heh.

00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:12,272
And yet, spies like you
have been using it for centuries.
751
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:13,678
This pen, for example,
752
00:39:13,851 --> 00:39:17,014
had traces of a type known
as permanent fluorescing ink.

only under an ultraviolet light.

00:39:21,492 --> 00:39:24,757
Now, I went to the morgue
this morning,
756
00:39:24,929 --> 00:39:28,524
and I shone Teri's hand
under a UV lamp.
757
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:34,061
Even after the wash,
her palm was covered in the stuff.
758
00:39:34,238 --> 00:39:38,800

she got it all over your clothes.

00:39:55,659 --> 00:39:59,117
the story it reveals
is as clear as it is compelling.

you killed her.
