1
00:00:14,212 --> 00:00:16,246
Close your mouth, Watson.
You'll catch a fly.
2
00:00:16,248 --> 00:00:18,415
I didn't you had
one of those machines.
3
00:00:18,417 --> 00:00:20,417
Only needle these arms
see anymore.
4
00:00:20,419 --> 00:00:22,419
I keep it for the
occasional touch-up.
5
00:00:22,421 --> 00:00:24,955
Well, wouldn't it be easier
if someone else did it,
6
00:00:24,957 --> 00:00:26,256
like an actual
tattoo artist?
7
00:00:26,258 --> 00:00:27,624
I am an actual
tattoo artist.
8
00:00:27,626 --> 00:00:28,792
I did a lot
of these myself.
9
00:00:28,794 --> 00:00:31,161
How'd you...?
Ambidextrous.
10
00:00:31,163 --> 00:00:32,546
Of course you are.
11
00:00:32,548 --> 00:00:35,632
Can I interest you in
some ink of your own?
12
00:00:35,634 --> 00:00:37,634
Syringe with a line
through it, perhaps,
13
00:00:37,636 --> 00:00:40,304
in honor of your former
career as a sober companion?
14
00:00:40,306 --> 00:00:41,838
I think I'm good, thanks.
15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,673
I wanted to plan something
for your anniversary.
16
00:00:43,675 --> 00:00:45,776
You're gonna be one-year sober
in a few days.
17
00:00:45,778 --> 00:00:48,312
They're gonna give you your
one-year chip at your next meeting.
18
00:00:48,314 --> 00:00:50,564
It's a big deal, Sherlock.
You should be proud.
19
00:00:50,566 --> 00:00:52,783
You've been talking to Alfredo.
He's been hounding me
20
00:00:52,785 --> 00:00:54,518
about my soberversary
for weeks now.
21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,203
Of course he has.
He's your sponsor.
22
00:00:56,205 --> 00:00:57,905
Which is why I have not had
23
00:00:57,907 --> 00:00:59,689
the heart to tell him
I've absolutely no intention
24
00:00:59,691 --> 00:01:02,326
of accepting that chip.
And why wouldn't you accept it?
25
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:04,578
It is absurd to measure
sobriety in units of time.
26
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:07,965
It is a state of being. One is
either in it or out of it.
27
00:01:07,967 --> 00:01:09,550
In my case, I am in it
28
00:01:09,552 --> 00:01:11,084
permanently.
29
00:01:11,086 --> 00:01:13,370
Amassing a collection of cheap
plastic discs seems infantile.
30
00:01:13,372 --> 00:01:16,056
Unless, of course, I could
trade them in for a prize.
31
00:01:16,058 --> 00:01:17,508
A brood of sea monkeys, perhaps.
32
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:18,642
Sherlock...
33
00:01:18,644 --> 00:01:19,977
You're a ex-sober
companion.
34
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:21,645
It is no longer
your calling
35
00:01:21,647 --> 00:01:23,347
to nag me, police me
or reproach me.
36
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:25,682
If I require your opinion
with regards to my sobriety,
37
00:01:25,684 --> 00:01:26,834
I will ask for it.
38
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:29,603
You are right.
39
00:01:33,575 --> 00:01:34,942
Ha.
40
00:01:34,944 --> 00:01:37,911
Alfredo, your ears
must have been burning.
41
00:01:37,913 --> 00:01:41,114
Hope I'm not calling too early.
I'm with a friend.
42
00:01:41,116 --> 00:01:45,452
I think he could use your help.
43
00:02:06,858 --> 00:02:10,444
Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson.
We're here to see Ken Whitman.
44
00:02:10,446 --> 00:02:13,763
Uh, my dad. He said
someone was coming by.
45
00:02:13,765 --> 00:02:15,232
Come in.
46
00:02:23,157 --> 00:02:25,008
You're quite good.
47
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:27,744
Eva. Thanks.
48
00:02:27,746 --> 00:02:32,049
Uh, Dad's in the den,
just... down the hall.
49
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:35,219
I told you when I met you
that I had a great sponsor.
50
00:02:35,221 --> 00:02:37,421
This is him.
51
00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:39,089
The only one in the group
willing to take a chance
52
00:02:39,091 --> 00:02:41,141
on a half-reformed
ex-car thief.
53
00:02:41,143 --> 00:02:43,510
Alfredo said you
were in trouble.
54
00:02:45,296 --> 00:02:47,931
Two years ago,
Eva used a fake I.D.
55
00:02:47,933 --> 00:02:49,917
to get into a club
in the city.
56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,737
A man named Brent Garvey slipped
something into her drink.
57
00:02:53,739 --> 00:02:55,022
He took her
58
00:02:55,024 --> 00:02:58,859
to his apartment and...
59
00:02:58,861 --> 00:03:00,527
The next morning
60
00:03:00,529 --> 00:03:02,446
she told me
and her mom everything.
61
00:03:02,448 --> 00:03:05,666
We took her to the police
and they found Garvey.
62
00:03:05,668 --> 00:03:07,918
She picked him out
of a lineup.
63
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:09,870
Brave girl.
After Garvey
64
00:03:09,872 --> 00:03:12,923
was charged, two other
victims came forward.
65
00:03:12,925 --> 00:03:14,708
He ended up
cutting a deal.
66
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:16,826
Pled guilty
for a reduced sentence.
67
00:03:16,828 --> 00:03:18,428
Technically, it was over.
68
00:03:18,430 --> 00:03:20,597
But not for you
and your family.
69
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:22,599
For Eva,
it was hard.
70
00:03:22,601 --> 00:03:25,502
She cut off contact
with her friends.
71
00:03:25,504 --> 00:03:27,104
Stopped playing.
72
00:03:27,106 --> 00:03:29,523
Even tried
to hurt herself.
73
00:03:29,525 --> 00:03:31,642
We found her
a therapist.
74
00:03:31,644 --> 00:03:33,810
Things... got better.
75
00:03:33,812 --> 00:03:38,014
She said she might even be ready
for college next year.
76
00:03:38,016 --> 00:03:39,516
And then
77
00:03:39,518 --> 00:03:43,153
a few months ago,
I got this in the mail.
78
00:03:43,155 --> 00:03:46,039
It's a-a video of Eva
79
00:03:46,041 --> 00:03:48,208
with Brent Garvey.
80
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:52,412
The night he...
81
00:03:54,666 --> 00:03:56,366
"Mr. Whitman,
82
00:03:56,368 --> 00:03:58,635
you will transfer
$10,000 to the following account
83
00:03:58,637 --> 00:04:00,870
"or this video
will be posted online
84
00:04:00,872 --> 00:04:02,472
"and released to the media.
85
00:04:02,474 --> 00:04:04,474
"Your daughter will be a star.
86
00:04:04,476 --> 00:04:06,810
"Do not go
to the police,
87
00:04:06,812 --> 00:04:08,378
"do not attempt
to identify me.
88
00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:10,397
"If I'm arrested or
physically harmed in any way,
89
00:04:10,399 --> 00:04:12,432
"I have a fail-safe
in place,
90
00:04:12,434 --> 00:04:15,385
an associate who will
release the video for me""
91
00:04:15,387 --> 00:04:17,688
Eva had come
such a long way.
92
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:20,774
I didn't want to see her
get hurt again.
93
00:04:20,776 --> 00:04:22,409
So you paid the $10,000.
94
00:04:22,411 --> 00:04:24,111
I didn't even
tell my wife.
95
00:04:24,113 --> 00:04:25,895
I just did it.
96
00:04:25,897 --> 00:04:28,699
But then...
a few weeks later...
97
00:04:28,701 --> 00:04:30,734
They asked for
more money.
98
00:04:30,736 --> 00:04:32,619
I paid again.
99
00:04:32,621 --> 00:04:35,589
The third demand
came a few days ago.
100
00:04:35,591 --> 00:04:38,342
I finally lost it.
101
00:04:38,344 --> 00:04:41,044
Came close
to falling off the wagon.
102
00:04:41,046 --> 00:04:44,715
My sponsor was out of town,
so I-I reached out to Alfredo.
103
00:04:44,717 --> 00:04:47,718
I-I just needed
to talk to someone.
104
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,437
But then he told me about you.
105
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:53,724
H-He said you might
be able to help?
106
00:04:55,861 --> 00:05:00,030
I have a particular
disdain for blackmailers.
107
00:05:00,032 --> 00:05:02,032
They are...
108
00:05:02,034 --> 00:05:04,034
in some respects...
109
00:05:04,036 --> 00:05:07,237
more despicable to me
than even murderers.
110
00:05:07,239 --> 00:05:11,041
Ms. Watson and I will find the
person who's been targeting you.
111
00:05:11,043 --> 00:05:14,127
We will also find their
associate. Then...
112
00:05:14,129 --> 00:05:17,947
we will destroy every trace
of this vile recording.
113
00:05:26,307 --> 00:05:28,341
You think he's
the blackmailer.
114
00:05:28,343 --> 00:05:31,595
My tech expert in London traced
the account number
115
00:05:31,597 --> 00:05:34,731
on the note to that man
and this address.
116
00:05:34,733 --> 00:05:37,601
Charles Augustus
Milverton.
117
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:39,069
He certainly
looks the part.
118
00:05:39,071 --> 00:05:41,238
I'm just surprised how
easy it was to find him.
119
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,989
Well, he's obviously confident
in the protection
120
00:05:42,991 --> 00:05:46,476
that his fail-safe
affords him.
121
00:05:46,478 --> 00:05:48,745
I'll assess the threat he poses,
122
00:05:48,747 --> 00:05:51,998
and attempt to divine the
identity of his accomplice.
123
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,584
Once both individuals
are known to us,
124
00:05:54,586 --> 00:05:58,121
we will destroy their blackmail
troves simultaneously.
125
00:06:22,948 --> 00:06:25,198
Another reason
to dislike Milverton...
126
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,734
he keeps cats.
127
00:06:27,736 --> 00:06:29,870
Well, he should get himself
a real pet,
128
00:06:29,872 --> 00:06:31,688
like a beehive.
129
00:06:31,690 --> 00:06:32,906
You see anything?
130
00:06:32,908 --> 00:06:34,658
Laptop.
131
00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:36,193
He could have used it
to burn the DVD
132
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:38,662
that he sent.
133
00:06:56,514 --> 00:06:58,632
What's happening?
134
00:06:58,634 --> 00:07:01,384
Ken Whitman said the man who
assaulted his daughter
135
00:07:01,386 --> 00:07:03,270
took two other teenaged victims,
as well--
136
00:07:03,272 --> 00:07:05,105
Tracy Bender and Karen Pistone.
137
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:08,658
There are videos of them
here, as well.
138
00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:11,194
You think he's blackmailing
their parents?
139
00:07:11,196 --> 00:07:12,412
Them. Others.
140
00:07:12,414 --> 00:07:13,747
"Others"?
141
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:15,398
It would seem Mr. Milverton
142
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,367
is a professional blackmailer.
143
00:07:17,369 --> 00:07:20,604
I'd estimate that his victims
number in the dozens.
144
00:07:24,292 --> 00:07:26,009
He's back.
145
00:07:26,011 --> 00:07:27,761
He must have just gone
to get some groceries.
146
00:07:27,763 --> 00:07:29,045
He's heading for the door.
147
00:07:35,102 --> 00:07:37,754
You could have specified
back door, Watson.
148
00:07:37,756 --> 00:07:39,997
What're you talking about?
He's coming through the front.
149
00:08:08,954 --> 00:08:10,887

What're you doing here?

00:08:52,202 --> 00:08:54,370
I'd like you to take
a look at something.
155
00:08:54,372 --> 00:08:57,623
Then I'd like you to join me
in the conference room.
156
00:09:02,579 --> 00:09:04,730
You want to tell me
157
00:09:04,732 --> 00:09:06,382
why you asked me to look at
158
00:09:06,384 --> 00:09:10,553
what appears to be the brutal
rape of a teenage girl?
159
00:09:10,555 --> 00:09:12,304
I thought it was important
160
00:09:12,306 --> 00:09:14,390
you understand
what was at stake.
161
00:09:14,392 --> 00:09:16,325
The man in that video
162
00:09:16,327 --> 00:09:18,427
is Brent Garvey.
163
00:09:18,429 --> 00:09:20,446
He was arrested in New
Jersey several years ago
164
00:09:20,448 --> 00:09:23,899
and convicted of sexually
assaulting three young women:
165
00:09:23,901 --> 00:09:25,734
Eva Whitman, Tracy Bender,
166
00:09:25,736 --> 00:09:27,703
Karen Pistone.
167
00:09:27,705 --> 00:09:30,573
Eva Whitman's father received
that DVD in the mail,
168
00:09:30,575 --> 00:09:34,043
along with a note which demanded
that he pay $10,000
169
00:09:34,045 --> 00:09:37,046
or see it released
on the Internet.
170
00:09:37,048 --> 00:09:38,998
Now, I identified
the blackmailer
171
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,549
earlier this evening.
172
00:09:40,551 --> 00:09:42,001
I went to his home
173
00:09:42,003 --> 00:09:45,271
and I realized that he had sent
similar threats
174
00:09:45,273 --> 00:09:48,173
to the parents of Ms. Bender
and Ms. Pistone.
175
00:09:48,175 --> 00:09:50,943
So you're here to turn
over the evidence.
176
00:09:50,945 --> 00:09:52,611
Well...
177
00:09:55,015 --> 00:09:57,182
It's possible...
178
00:09:57,184 --> 00:10:00,719
that I am here to report
179
00:10:00,721 --> 00:10:02,154
a murder.
180
00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:04,773
Or perhaps I'm just here to...
181
00:10:04,775 --> 00:10:07,593
seek the counsel
of an investigator
182
00:10:07,595 --> 00:10:10,929
that I respect and admire.
183
00:10:15,418 --> 00:10:16,835
Hypothetically,
184
00:10:16,837 --> 00:10:19,622
the blackmailer was killed
in his home tonight.
185
00:10:19,624 --> 00:10:21,373
Hypothetically...
186
00:10:21,375 --> 00:10:23,626
I saw it happen.
187
00:10:28,014 --> 00:10:29,998
Holmes...
188
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,935
if you know anything
about a murder,
189
00:10:32,937 --> 00:10:35,804
you gotta report it.
190
00:10:35,806 --> 00:10:37,890
There would be consequences.
191
00:10:37,892 --> 00:10:42,027
The hypothetical blackmailer
had a hypothetical accomplice.
192
00:10:42,029 --> 00:10:43,779
That accomplice,
upon learning of
193
00:10:43,781 --> 00:10:45,481
his partner's death,
would release
194
00:10:45,483 --> 00:10:48,851
that video-- and others--
into the world.
195
00:10:48,853 --> 00:10:50,719
That is, of course,
196
00:10:50,721 --> 00:10:53,689
if the accomplice learns of
197
00:10:53,691 --> 00:10:55,591
his partner's death.
198
00:10:55,593 --> 00:10:58,193
So you want to keep it a secret.
199
00:10:58,195 --> 00:11:00,462
It would give
a motivated investigator
200
00:11:00,464 --> 00:11:02,665
enough time to identify
the accomplice,
201
00:11:02,667 --> 00:11:06,251
prevent him from enacting
any offending fail-safes.
202
00:11:06,253 --> 00:11:08,971
Obviously you'd want
to find the accomplice
203
00:11:08,973 --> 00:11:11,056
more than the killer but...
204
00:11:11,058 --> 00:11:13,842
what if the killer
is the accomplice?
205
00:11:13,844 --> 00:11:16,995
Then all roads lead to Mecca.
206
00:11:16,997 --> 00:11:19,965
Blackmailer is foiled
and a killer is caught.
207
00:11:19,967 --> 00:11:21,834
All in one fell swoop.
208
00:11:24,571 --> 00:11:28,190
You have daughters,
do you not, Captain?
209
00:11:33,948 --> 00:11:35,731
So...
210
00:11:35,733 --> 00:11:37,399
Captain Gregson
sees the wisdom
211
00:11:37,401 --> 00:11:40,035
in keeping Milverton's
death a secret. For now.
212
00:11:40,037 --> 00:11:41,870
Well, I've been listening
to the scanner since I got back
213
00:11:41,872 --> 00:11:43,405
and there
are no reports of gunfire
214
00:11:43,407 --> 00:11:44,906
or break-ins
in Milverton's neighborhood.
215
00:11:44,908 --> 00:11:46,041
Did you reach Alfredo?
216
00:11:46,043 --> 00:11:47,710
Yeah, he said
he would stay there
217
00:11:47,712 --> 00:11:49,294
as long as
we needed him to.
218
00:11:49,296 --> 00:11:51,130
He'd let us know
if anyone came by.
219
00:11:51,132 --> 00:11:53,799
What about the materials I
took from the dead man's desk?
220
00:11:53,801 --> 00:11:56,101
Well, they're bills mostly.
I have some receipts.
221
00:11:56,103 --> 00:11:57,686
Um, I did find this.
222
00:11:57,688 --> 00:11:59,388
I think it's
some sort of ledger.
223
00:12:02,692 --> 00:12:04,443
Hmm.
224
00:12:04,445 --> 00:12:08,230
Records of payoffs
from Milverton's victims probably.
225
00:12:09,132 --> 00:12:10,666
How are you doing?
226
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:14,403
You saw someone
get murdered tonight.
227
00:12:18,241 --> 00:12:20,659
You said you never got
a clean look at the shooter.
228
00:12:20,661 --> 00:12:22,277
Large man, approximately
six foot two,
229
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:23,612
one hundred kilograms.
230
00:12:23,614 --> 00:12:25,080
His features were
obscured by a mask,
231
00:12:25,082 --> 00:12:27,249
his scent by the cat urine
and kitty litter
232
00:12:27,251 --> 00:12:28,333
in Milverton's home.
233
00:12:28,335 --> 00:12:30,052
Even if I had
reported the crime,
234
00:12:30,054 --> 00:12:32,287
I would not have had
much to offer.
235
00:12:32,289 --> 00:12:35,224
It's hard not to imagine that
the killer was one of the people
236
00:12:35,226 --> 00:12:37,259
Milverton was blackmailing,
but the captain raised
237
00:12:37,261 --> 00:12:39,394
the possibility that
it was his accomplice.
238
00:12:39,396 --> 00:12:41,346
Either way, our goal
remains the same:
239
00:12:41,348 --> 00:12:45,967
Find the fail-safe before he can
release any salacious material.
240
00:12:45,969 --> 00:12:48,487
Well, if the killer was one
of Milverton's victims,
241
00:12:48,489 --> 00:12:51,323
why wouldn't he be worried
about the fail-safe kicking in?
242
00:12:51,325 --> 00:12:53,525
Well, it's possible that he
solved whatever problem
243
00:12:53,527 --> 00:12:54,910
Milverton was
taking advantage of.
244
00:12:54,912 --> 00:12:56,945
The fail-safe would
mean nothing to him.
245
00:12:56,947 --> 00:12:59,164
Unfortunately,
it still means a great deal
246
00:12:59,166 --> 00:13:00,666
to Milverton's other victims.
247
00:13:00,668 --> 00:13:02,150
The parents
of the three young women raped
248
00:13:02,152 --> 00:13:04,787
by Brent Garvey, for example.
249
00:13:04,789 --> 00:13:06,789
I've arranged to pay him
a visit in the morning.
250
00:13:06,791 --> 00:13:08,340
Garvey?
251
00:13:08,342 --> 00:13:09,758
What if Garvey was
252
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,460
the accomplice
Milverton entrusted
253
00:13:11,462 --> 00:13:12,628
his fail-safe protocols with?
254
00:13:12,630 --> 00:13:14,630
He's in prison--
how could he...?
255
00:13:14,632 --> 00:13:16,298
All he would need to release
those videos is access
256
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,166
to a smartphone or a computer.
257
00:13:18,168 --> 00:13:21,270
Neither, I'm sorry to say, is
impossible to come by in lockup.
258
00:13:21,272 --> 00:13:22,838
If he is not the accomplice,
259
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,673
perhaps he can tell us who is.
260
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,818
Mr. Garvey.
261
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,020
I heard the victimizers
of children
262
00:13:39,022 --> 00:13:40,656
had a rough time in prison.
263
00:13:40,658 --> 00:13:42,691
It's really nice to see
that it's not just a rumor.
264
00:13:42,693 --> 00:13:44,860
Who are you?
265
00:13:44,862 --> 00:13:47,129
I'm Holmes,
this is Watson.
266
00:13:47,131 --> 00:13:49,131
We consult for the New York
Police Department.
267
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:51,583
If this is about
the guys who jumped me,
268
00:13:51,585 --> 00:13:53,201
I already gave
their names to the guards.
269
00:13:53,203 --> 00:13:55,637
We're here to talk to you
about Charles Milverton.
270
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:58,807
Before you say you've never
heard of him, be advised
271
00:13:58,809 --> 00:14:01,209
we come fresh from
a conversation with your warden.
272
00:14:01,211 --> 00:14:04,730
We know that he paid you
a visit here several months ago.
273
00:14:04,732 --> 00:14:08,183
Yeah, he's friends with my dad.
274
00:14:08,185 --> 00:14:10,152
He came to see how I was doing.
275
00:14:10,154 --> 00:14:13,605
Is that why you gave him your
collection of rape tapes?
276
00:14:13,607 --> 00:14:16,525
I don't know what
you're talking about.
277
00:14:16,527 --> 00:14:18,059
I've seen the tapes, Garvey.
278
00:14:18,061 --> 00:14:20,612
I have one in my possession.
279
00:14:22,498 --> 00:14:23,999
I'm very seriously
considering telling your friends
280
00:14:24,001 --> 00:14:26,335
here about them
before I leave today.
281
00:14:26,337 --> 00:14:29,521
Maybe they won't wait to find
you in the yard next time.
282
00:14:29,523 --> 00:14:32,124
Maybe they'll pay you a visit
in your sickbed.
283
00:14:32,126 --> 00:14:34,059
We know you gave
Milverton the tapes.
284
00:14:34,061 --> 00:14:35,711
We just want to know
if you have access
285
00:14:35,713 --> 00:14:37,579
to any of his other
blackmail materials.
286
00:14:37,581 --> 00:14:39,882
Other materials?
Milverton had
287
00:14:39,884 --> 00:14:42,367
an accomplice-- someone who
would put forth his materials
288
00:14:42,369 --> 00:14:45,387
in the event of his untimely
death or incarceration.
289
00:14:45,389 --> 00:14:46,772
The fail-safe, yeah.
290
00:14:46,774 --> 00:14:48,240
Yeah, I know.
291
00:14:48,242 --> 00:14:51,510
He told me all about him
when he came to see me.
292
00:14:51,512 --> 00:14:53,645
He said if I went to the police
293
00:14:53,647 --> 00:14:55,230
and I told them
he was blackmailing me,
294
00:14:55,232 --> 00:14:56,732
his partner would
release the tapes.
295
00:14:56,734 --> 00:14:58,700
Blackmailing you?
296
00:14:58,702 --> 00:15:01,102
I didn't give him the tapes.
297
00:15:01,104 --> 00:15:03,322
I had them in a storage unit.
298
00:15:03,324 --> 00:15:06,074
When I got arrested, I couldn't
keep up with the payments.
299
00:15:06,076 --> 00:15:08,293
The contents went
into auction.
300
00:15:08,295 --> 00:15:10,712
Milverton put in
the highest bid.
301
00:15:10,714 --> 00:15:13,081
Said he bought
old units all the time.
302
00:15:13,083 --> 00:15:14,950
Got a lot of dirt that way.
303
00:15:14,952 --> 00:15:18,921
Let me guess-- you have
a parole hearing coming up?
304
00:15:18,923 --> 00:15:20,138
I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
305
00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:22,257
I'm not in on it
with these guys.
306
00:15:30,839 --> 00:15:33,090
So, what's the verdict
on Garvey?
307
00:15:33,092 --> 00:15:35,626
Well, as far as rapists go,
308
00:15:35,628 --> 00:15:38,295
it would appear
he's an honest one.
309
00:15:40,298 --> 00:15:43,250
After Milverton's initial
visit to him in prison,
310
00:15:43,252 --> 00:15:44,885
he sent...
311
00:15:44,887 --> 00:15:47,721
he sent a series of
e-mails to his parents,
312
00:15:47,723 --> 00:15:49,890
begging for loans.
313
00:15:49,892 --> 00:15:51,642
The dates of those
e-mails correspond
314
00:15:51,644 --> 00:15:54,361
to payments made in
Milverton's ledger.
315
00:15:54,363 --> 00:15:57,948
So Milverton was blackmailing
Garvey and Garvey was paying.
316
00:15:57,950 --> 00:15:59,567
But we're still
gonna tell the police
317
00:15:59,569 --> 00:16:02,870
about the videos before
his parole hearing, right?
318
00:16:02,872 --> 00:16:05,289
We will discuss the matter
with the three girls' parents
319
00:16:05,291 --> 00:16:06,574
at the appropriate time.
320
00:16:06,576 --> 00:16:08,409
The decision should
and will be theirs.
321
00:16:08,411 --> 00:16:10,177
In the meantime, we
will stay the course
322
00:16:10,179 --> 00:16:12,413
and attempt to identify
Milverton's accessory.
323
00:16:12,415 --> 00:16:15,449
Before he find out
that Milverton is dead.
324
00:16:15,451 --> 00:16:16,667
Got it.
325
00:16:16,669 --> 00:16:19,253
I found something
in his ledger.
326
00:16:19,255 --> 00:16:21,755
He makes regular outgoing
payments to someone
327
00:16:21,757 --> 00:16:24,058
with the code name "HENRY8""
328
00:16:24,060 --> 00:16:25,593
You think that's
the accomplice?
329
00:16:25,595 --> 00:16:27,061
The payments are
consistently ten percent
330
00:16:27,063 --> 00:16:29,346
of whatever Milverton
has coming in.
331
00:16:29,348 --> 00:16:30,964
Seems like a reasonable rate
332
00:16:30,966 --> 00:16:34,318
for a blackmailer's assistant.
333
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,854
Oh.
334
00:16:36,856 --> 00:16:39,523
It's Alfredo--
someone's at Milverton's door.
335
00:16:54,322 --> 00:16:56,123
He's gone.
336
00:16:56,125 --> 00:16:58,425
Right after I texted you,
he hopped into a cab.
337
00:16:58,427 --> 00:17:00,294
Tried to tail him
but I lost him in traffic.
338
00:17:00,296 --> 00:17:02,096
Description?
339
00:17:02,098 --> 00:17:04,515
Tall, six feet, maybe, fat,
340
00:17:04,517 --> 00:17:06,216
gray hair, mustache.
341
00:17:06,218 --> 00:17:08,302
Suit and cowboy boots--
it's weird, I mean...
342
00:17:08,304 --> 00:17:09,836
something about him.
343
00:17:09,838 --> 00:17:11,055
Something like what?
344
00:17:11,057 --> 00:17:12,839
He seemed familiar,
like I knew him
345
00:17:12,841 --> 00:17:14,642
or something.
Any idea from where?
346
00:17:14,644 --> 00:17:17,311
I don't know. Maybe I saw him
at a meeting or maybe...
347
00:17:17,313 --> 00:17:18,845
maybe I stole his car
back in the day.
348
00:17:18,847 --> 00:17:20,731
You said he was wearing cowboy boots.
Yeah.
349
00:17:20,733 --> 00:17:23,567
What matters is that
your eyes beheld him.
350
00:17:23,569 --> 00:17:25,285
Which means his image
was transmitted
351
00:17:25,287 --> 00:17:27,521
to your posterior
parietal cortex.
352
00:17:27,523 --> 00:17:29,807
So, once we regress you,
353
00:17:29,809 --> 00:17:32,025
you'll remember every detail,
354
00:17:32,027 --> 00:17:33,661
including where
you know him from.
355
00:17:33,663 --> 00:17:35,696
Re-what me?
Regress you.
356
00:17:35,698 --> 00:17:37,831
Normally, we would use
a sensory deprivation chamber.
357
00:17:37,833 --> 00:17:39,717
But in the absence of that.
358
00:17:39,719 --> 00:17:42,002
You want me to get in there?
Yeah.
359
00:17:42,004 --> 00:17:44,088
You grew up in New York?
Well, yeah.
360
00:17:44,090 --> 00:17:46,173
You watch late-night TV?
Ah, of course.
361
00:17:46,175 --> 00:17:47,558
Is this the guy you saw?
362
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,343
Involved in an automobile accident?
363
00:17:49,345 --> 00:17:51,011
Well, there's
a new sheriff in town.
364
00:17:51,013 --> 00:17:53,180
Me-- Duke Landers, Esquire.
That's him.
365
00:17:53,182 --> 00:17:55,482
"Come on down
and see Sheriff Duke."
366
00:17:55,484 --> 00:17:57,768
If you're looking
for justice and money,
367
00:17:57,770 --> 00:18:00,487
come on down
and see Sheriff Duke.
368
00:18:00,489 --> 00:18:03,490
Charles Milverton.
369
00:18:03,492 --> 00:18:06,026
Sorry, name doesn't ring a bell.
370
00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:07,578
That's funny, Sheriff,
371
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:09,246
because you were seen
knocking on his door
372
00:18:09,248 --> 00:18:10,581
in Staten Island
this morning.
373
00:18:10,583 --> 00:18:12,750
Can you prove that?
374
00:18:12,752 --> 00:18:14,201
No.
375
00:18:14,203 --> 00:18:16,370
Nor can we prove
that Milverton was your client.
376
00:18:16,372 --> 00:18:18,255
Or that he left certain
materials with you,
377
00:18:18,257 --> 00:18:21,458
and told you to disperse them
should certain fates befall him.
378
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:24,178
Say this Milverton guy
is a client.
379
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:27,181
The law would proscribe me
from discussing him
380
00:18:27,183 --> 00:18:29,450
with you in any way.
381
00:18:29,452 --> 00:18:31,585
So, now, if you'll excuse me.
382
00:18:31,587 --> 00:18:34,054
"Duke Landers, Esquire."
383
00:18:34,056 --> 00:18:37,424
I take it the title refers
to your law license as opposed
384
00:18:37,426 --> 00:18:39,860
to your birthright
as the eldest son
385
00:18:39,862 --> 00:18:41,928
of a knight.
386
00:18:41,930 --> 00:18:43,597
What are you doing?
387
00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:45,482
Yeah.
388
00:18:45,484 --> 00:18:47,901
Thought so-- this
paper is 24-pound stock
389
00:18:47,903 --> 00:18:50,738
as opposed to the 80-pound
favored by most institutions.
390
00:18:50,740 --> 00:18:53,624
Watson, I added several tomes
on handwriting analysis
391
00:18:53,626 --> 00:18:55,342
to your reading list
the other week.
392
00:18:55,344 --> 00:18:56,877
If you've properly
absorbed them,
393
00:18:56,879 --> 00:18:58,495
you'll find
the signatures of both
394
00:18:58,497 --> 00:19:01,131
the dean and the board
president most interesting.
395
00:19:01,133 --> 00:19:04,551
Ah, Florence Costello
and Martin Faber.
396
00:19:04,553 --> 00:19:08,055
They have the same
D'Nealian capital F's.
397
00:19:08,057 --> 00:19:09,973
That's because they were
written by one person
398
00:19:09,975 --> 00:19:12,392
attempting to mimic
two different styles.
399
00:19:12,394 --> 00:19:13,961
This certificate from
the Unified Court System
400
00:19:13,963 --> 00:19:15,312
looks a bit dodgy as well.
401
00:19:15,314 --> 00:19:16,513
Perhaps I should
give them a call,
402
00:19:16,515 --> 00:19:18,015
see if you're
actually licensed.
403
00:19:18,017 --> 00:19:19,983
I know him, okay?
404
00:19:19,985 --> 00:19:22,269
I know Charles Milverton.
405
00:19:22,271 --> 00:19:23,937
But he's not my client.
406
00:19:23,939 --> 00:19:26,156
If anything, you could say
that I was a client of his.
407
00:19:27,192 --> 00:19:28,408
Explain.
408
00:19:28,410 --> 00:19:30,577
A few years ago,
I got him off
409
00:19:30,579 --> 00:19:32,079
a DWI charge.
410
00:19:32,081 --> 00:19:34,031
He said if any
sensitive information
411
00:19:34,033 --> 00:19:37,451
came across my desk,
that he could use it
412
00:19:37,453 --> 00:19:39,953
to make some money
for both of us.
413
00:19:39,955 --> 00:19:41,805
Just so we're clear--
414
00:19:41,807 --> 00:19:43,423
that's all I did.
415
00:19:43,425 --> 00:19:44,675
That's all.
416
00:19:44,677 --> 00:19:45,992
Hey, I'm not the one
417
00:19:45,994 --> 00:19:49,263
that was supposed
to disperse materials
418
00:19:49,265 --> 00:19:51,832
if something happened to
Charles-- that was someone else.
419
00:19:51,834 --> 00:19:54,000
You're a liar who lies.
420
00:19:54,002 --> 00:19:55,636
Charles never told me his name,
but I know that he's out there.
421
00:19:55,638 --> 00:19:58,472
Charles used to call
him his fail-safe.
422
00:20:01,192 --> 00:20:02,776
We need everything you
have on Milverton.
423
00:20:02,778 --> 00:20:04,528
And I do mean everything.
424
00:20:04,530 --> 00:20:06,346
Lots of evidence
425
00:20:06,348 --> 00:20:10,150
that Duke Landers is even
scummier than we thought,
426
00:20:10,152 --> 00:20:13,370
but nothing helpful
on Milverton's accomplice.
427
00:20:13,372 --> 00:20:16,540
How are you doing
with the, um...?
428
00:20:16,542 --> 00:20:17,791
Are those sobriety chips?
429
00:20:17,793 --> 00:20:19,192
I ordered a set
online yesterday,
430
00:20:19,194 --> 00:20:20,627
had them shipped
overnight.
431
00:20:20,629 --> 00:20:22,579
Wanted to see what all
the fuss was about.
432
00:20:22,581 --> 00:20:24,715
Colors are a bit garish, no?
433
00:20:24,717 --> 00:20:26,917
More appropriate to a
successful first year
434
00:20:26,919 --> 00:20:29,386
as a Vegas showgirl.
435
00:20:30,638 --> 00:20:32,589
Have you been playing
quarters with these?
436
00:20:32,591 --> 00:20:34,007
I didn't drink
anything, Watson,
437
00:20:34,009 --> 00:20:35,592
I just wanted to
see them bounce.
438
00:20:38,212 --> 00:20:39,980
I don't believe you.
439
00:20:39,982 --> 00:20:41,431
Smell my breath.
I'm not talking about the drinking.
440
00:20:41,433 --> 00:20:42,933
I'm talking about
what you said yesterday
441
00:20:42,935 --> 00:20:44,679
about me not weighing in
on your sobriety.
442
00:20:44,704 --> 00:20:45,520
What?
443
00:20:45,521 --> 00:20:47,404
Listen, if you want to talk
about your feelings
444
00:20:47,406 --> 00:20:50,073
about your one-year chip,
I'm here.
445
00:20:53,444 --> 00:20:55,562
You were asking if
I'd found anything.
446
00:20:55,564 --> 00:20:56,663
The answer is...
447
00:20:56,665 --> 00:20:58,115
maybe.
448
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,168
Two years ago,
449
00:21:01,170 --> 00:21:04,404
Charles Milverton referred
a client to the Sheriff.
450
00:21:04,406 --> 00:21:06,506
His name was Abraham Zelner,
451
00:21:06,508 --> 00:21:09,242
a morbidly obese man who
wanted to sue an airline
452
00:21:09,244 --> 00:21:10,928
for removing him from a flight.
453
00:21:10,930 --> 00:21:12,880
Zelner was the only client
454
00:21:12,882 --> 00:21:14,715
Milverton referred.
455
00:21:14,717 --> 00:21:16,633
Earlier we were
theorizing that
456
00:21:16,635 --> 00:21:18,385
"HENRY8" was
457
00:21:18,387 --> 00:21:19,937
Milverton's accomplice.
458
00:21:19,939 --> 00:21:21,638
Henry the Eighth, as
I'm sure you're aware,
459
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,941
was the fattest monarch
in British history.
460
00:21:23,943 --> 00:21:25,542
So you think Zelner
was his accomplice
461
00:21:25,544 --> 00:21:27,811
and that Milverton
gave him that code name
462
00:21:27,813 --> 00:21:29,229
because he was heavyset?
463
00:21:29,231 --> 00:21:31,114
Hmm, Orson Welles
was heavyset.
464
00:21:31,116 --> 00:21:33,767
Abraham Zelner could pull
small moons out of orbit.
465
00:21:36,738 --> 00:21:38,372
Captain, what is the first
thing that comes to mind
466
00:21:38,374 --> 00:21:40,207
when I say "Henry the Eighth"?
467
00:21:40,209 --> 00:21:41,458
Herman's Hermits?
468
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:42,442
Listen.
469
00:21:42,444 --> 00:21:43,877
Call came in a little while ago
470
00:21:43,879 --> 00:21:45,913
from a night watchman
at a construction site.
471
00:21:45,915 --> 00:21:48,615
He saw some, uh,
suspicious activity.
472
00:21:48,617 --> 00:21:50,317
The responding officers
found a perp
473
00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:53,286
trying to dump a corpse
into some wet cement
474
00:21:53,288 --> 00:21:54,972
in the building's foundation.
475
00:21:54,974 --> 00:21:56,423
Victim was
476
00:21:56,425 --> 00:21:58,892
shot three times in the chest--
the perp claims
477
00:21:58,894 --> 00:22:01,912
he did it
'cause he was being blackmailed.
478
00:22:01,914 --> 00:22:04,982
Some hypothetical bells
obviously went off.
479
00:22:04,984 --> 00:22:07,651
Was the victim's name,
perchance, Milverton?
480
00:22:07,653 --> 00:22:09,803
First name Charles.
481
00:22:09,805 --> 00:22:11,104
The culprit didn't,
by any chance,
482
00:22:11,106 --> 00:22:13,440
confess to being
his accomplice, did he?
483
00:22:13,442 --> 00:22:16,576
No, his name is Anthony Pistone.
484
00:22:16,578 --> 00:22:19,663
His daughter is Karen Pistone,
Brent Garvey's second victim.
485
00:22:19,665 --> 00:22:22,249
- Yes, he was being blackmailed, too.
- Yeah,
486
00:22:22,251 --> 00:22:24,868
and his attorney's already
spinning his story to the media.
487
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:29,172
So I'm afraid the news
that Charles Milverton is dead
488
00:22:29,174 --> 00:22:31,675
is officially out.
489
00:22:38,901 --> 00:22:42,871
I got the first
blackmail note...
490
00:22:42,873 --> 00:22:45,173
nine months ago.
491
00:22:45,175 --> 00:22:48,743
It came with a DVD.
492
00:22:48,745 --> 00:22:52,381
Hearing about it when
it first happened,
493
00:22:52,383 --> 00:22:54,549
that was nothing
compared to seeing it.
494
00:22:54,551 --> 00:22:57,853
I swear, if I could have
got my hands on Garvey...
495
00:22:57,855 --> 00:22:59,020
Anthony,
496
00:22:59,022 --> 00:23:01,890
let's try to
stay on topic.
497
00:23:01,892 --> 00:23:03,859
I did what
I had to do.
498
00:23:03,861 --> 00:23:05,093
I paid.
499
00:23:05,095 --> 00:23:07,396
It wasn't easy.
500
00:23:07,398 --> 00:23:10,615
My brother and I have
a contracting business.
501
00:23:10,617 --> 00:23:12,651
Work was slow.
502
00:23:12,653 --> 00:23:16,037
But no way was I gonna
let that tape get out.
503
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:19,241
I thought that would
be the end of it.
504
00:23:19,243 --> 00:23:21,827
I was wrong.
505
00:23:21,829 --> 00:23:24,296
A few weeks later
I get an e-mail.
506
00:23:24,298 --> 00:23:26,581
Same threat,
same demand.
507
00:23:26,583 --> 00:23:29,418
How did you find
Charles Milverton?
508
00:23:29,420 --> 00:23:32,254
He e-mailed me
again last week.
509
00:23:32,256 --> 00:23:34,306
Asked for more money.
510
00:23:34,308 --> 00:23:38,076
I wrote him back and said
I had it, but it was in cash.
511
00:23:38,078 --> 00:23:42,230
Said I'd borrowed it from
a friend who runs numbers.
512
00:23:42,232 --> 00:23:45,567
Couldn't deposit it in a bank
without raising a red flag.
513
00:23:45,569 --> 00:23:48,904
I left an envelope
under a park bench.
514
00:23:48,906 --> 00:23:51,606
When he came to pick it
up, I followed him home.
515
00:23:51,608 --> 00:23:54,809
A few nights later I broke
in through his back door,
516
00:23:54,811 --> 00:23:57,746
shot him.
517
00:23:57,748 --> 00:24:00,315
Grabbed his body and
his laptop and took off.
518
00:24:00,317 --> 00:24:03,034
- Where's the laptop now?
- Smashed.
519
00:24:03,036 --> 00:24:06,955
I stomped on it and
tossed it in some Dumpster.
520
00:24:06,957 --> 00:24:08,957
I understand
there was some postmortem damage
521
00:24:08,959 --> 00:24:10,842
done to the victim's face.
522
00:24:15,798 --> 00:24:17,933
When your guys
came at me tonight,
523
00:24:17,935 --> 00:24:22,670
when I, uh, I realized
I couldn't get away...
524
00:24:22,672 --> 00:24:26,558
I looked down at Milverton,
and it was like
525
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,195
he was looking back at me.
526
00:24:30,197 --> 00:24:34,783
Like he was laughing.
527
00:24:34,785 --> 00:24:35,901
I snapped.
528
00:24:35,903 --> 00:24:39,905
Lifted my boot
up and just...
529
00:24:39,907 --> 00:24:44,960
He's got enough face left
for an open casket.
530
00:24:44,962 --> 00:24:49,047
It's more than he deserves.
531
00:24:51,501 --> 00:24:53,502
It's the guy you saw
the other night, right?
532
00:24:53,504 --> 00:24:55,086
The man I saw
was wearing a mask,
533
00:24:55,088 --> 00:24:56,505
but the height
and weight are correct.
534
00:24:56,507 --> 00:24:58,223
And usually
I feel so good
535
00:24:58,225 --> 00:25:00,875
when we've got a killer dead to rights.
The man is an idiot.
536
00:25:00,877 --> 00:25:02,260
He's put all of
Milverton's victims--
537
00:25:02,262 --> 00:25:04,229
including his own
daughter-- at risk.
538
00:25:04,231 --> 00:25:07,349
For all we know, Internet is already
flooded with their secrets.
539
00:25:07,351 --> 00:25:09,985
I'm not saying
I agree with what he did.
540
00:25:09,987 --> 00:25:12,070
I'm saying
I sympathize.
541
00:25:14,273 --> 00:25:16,691
The guy plays his
cards right, the D.A.
542
00:25:16,693 --> 00:25:18,944
won't ask for more than
manslaughter in the first;
543
00:25:18,946 --> 00:25:20,422
he'll be out in three
and a half years.
544
00:25:20,447 --> 00:25:21,730
Yeah.
545
00:25:27,787 --> 00:25:29,621
Holmes. I went to that address
you gave me.
546
00:25:29,623 --> 00:25:31,039
The one for the
guy you thought
547
00:25:31,041 --> 00:25:32,257
was working with
the dead blackmailer,
548
00:25:32,259 --> 00:25:33,341
Abraham Zelner.
549
00:25:33,343 --> 00:25:34,843
Tell me you
have him in custody.
550
00:25:34,845 --> 00:25:36,344
The address
wasn't a residence,
551
00:25:36,346 --> 00:25:37,879
it was a butcher
shop in Chinatown.
552
00:25:37,881 --> 00:25:39,180
It gets worse.
553
00:25:39,182 --> 00:25:40,849
Can't find any
record of the guy
554
00:25:40,851 --> 00:25:43,101
in the NCIC or
the DMV database.
555
00:25:43,103 --> 00:25:44,211
None.
556
00:25:44,236 --> 00:25:46,022
Sorry. I know you
thought it was a lead,
557
00:25:46,023 --> 00:25:47,922
but as far as I can
tell, the name's a fake.
558
00:25:52,562 --> 00:25:54,596
The brownstone is on fire,
my bees have escaped
559
00:25:54,598 --> 00:25:56,731
and there is a giant
comet headed for Manhattan.
560
00:25:56,733 --> 00:25:58,600
Excuse me?
The way the evening is going
561
00:25:58,602 --> 00:26:00,935
I thought you could only be
calling with more good news.
562
00:26:00,937 --> 00:26:02,604
I don't know what kind
of news this is,
563
00:26:02,606 --> 00:26:04,322
but Alfredo was here
and he thought we should know
564
00:26:04,324 --> 00:26:06,774
that his sponsor just got a new
blackmail demand
565
00:26:06,776 --> 00:26:08,994
from Charles Milverton.
566
00:26:08,996 --> 00:26:12,530
What do you think it means?
567
00:26:12,532 --> 00:26:14,749
Henry Eight.
568
00:26:14,751 --> 00:26:16,418
You think his
accomplice sent it?
569
00:26:16,420 --> 00:26:19,087
As Milverton's fail-safe,
he would be privy
570
00:26:19,089 --> 00:26:21,389
to all aspects of the operation.
571
00:26:21,391 --> 00:26:24,392
He possesses the same prurient
material that Milverton did.
572
00:26:24,394 --> 00:26:27,262
But instead of exposing it,
as he was supposed to...
573
00:26:27,264 --> 00:26:30,065
He's using it
to take over the business.
574
00:26:30,067 --> 00:26:31,799
Milverton's murder
has been all over
575
00:26:31,801 --> 00:26:33,068
the news for hours now.
576
00:26:33,070 --> 00:26:37,272
Henry Eight
knows and doesn't care.
577
00:26:37,274 --> 00:26:40,808
Hmm. I can't recall the
last time I was so thankful
578
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:42,977
for the essential avarice
of the human condition.
579
00:26:42,979 --> 00:26:44,079
You're happy about this?
580
00:26:44,081 --> 00:26:46,748
Milverton's plan
has backfired.
581
00:26:46,750 --> 00:26:49,868
His fail-safe has shirked the
duties for which he was hired.
582
00:26:49,870 --> 00:26:52,253
Which means,
that for the moment, the secrets
583
00:26:52,255 --> 00:26:54,506
of Milverton's
blackmail targets are safe.
584
00:26:54,508 --> 00:26:57,175
Abraham Zelner, as it turns out,
was a pseudonym,
585
00:26:57,177 --> 00:26:58,877
but I still think
that the fat man
586
00:26:58,879 --> 00:27:02,497
represented by Duke Landers
is Milverton's accomplice.
587
00:27:02,499 --> 00:27:05,500
You're gonna open up
Lander's files again.
588
00:27:05,502 --> 00:27:08,186
Only lead we have
at the moment, so, yes.
589
00:27:08,188 --> 00:27:11,106
But not before tea.
It's gonna be a long night.
590
00:27:11,108 --> 00:27:12,868
Thank you, Alfredo.
You've been most helpful.
591
00:27:17,346 --> 00:27:19,064
Hey.
592
00:27:19,066 --> 00:27:22,534
Want to, uh, check in with you
about tomorrow before I go.
593
00:27:24,537 --> 00:27:26,488
We're going to a meeting.
594
00:27:26,490 --> 00:27:27,989
You're getting your chip.
595
00:27:27,991 --> 00:27:30,558
Yeah.
596
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,827
About that. Um...
597
00:27:32,829 --> 00:27:34,713
tomorrow's not
really good for me.
598
00:27:34,715 --> 00:27:37,165
Well, you're working,
I get it. But...
599
00:27:37,167 --> 00:27:38,667
your day is your day, man.
600
00:27:38,669 --> 00:27:40,385
I promise,
it'll only take a few minutes.
601
00:27:40,387 --> 00:27:42,837
Look, Alfredo...
602
00:27:42,839 --> 00:27:45,873
it's not the case,
it's the chip.
603
00:27:45,875 --> 00:27:47,726
I can't accept it.
604
00:27:47,728 --> 00:27:49,877
I know that
to most addicts
605
00:27:49,879 --> 00:27:51,563
it's a treasured token.
606
00:27:51,565 --> 00:27:53,848
It's a very tangible
representation of the their
607
00:27:53,850 --> 00:27:55,900
hard work
and determination, but...
608
00:27:55,902 --> 00:27:57,602
I'm not most addicts.
609
00:27:57,604 --> 00:28:00,388
To me it does not commemorate
a period of success,
610
00:28:00,390 --> 00:28:03,725
but rather, the end
of a period of great failure.
611
00:28:03,727 --> 00:28:07,895
I failed when I abused drugs
and I would really rather not be
612
00:28:07,897 --> 00:28:10,915
reminded of that fact.
613
00:28:12,618 --> 00:28:16,254
I'm sorry if that's
how you see it.
614
00:28:22,545 --> 00:28:25,880
You know what I wish you got?
615
00:28:25,882 --> 00:28:27,882
Milestones like this one...
616
00:28:27,884 --> 00:28:31,269
they're yours,
but they're not about you.
617
00:28:31,271 --> 00:28:35,090
They're about all the people who
haven't got there yet.
618
00:28:35,092 --> 00:28:38,226
They see you do it,
and they think why can't I?
619
00:28:38,228 --> 00:28:40,862
You know, I
know it's hard,
620
00:28:40,864 --> 00:28:46,401
but one of these days,
you got to get over yourself.
621
00:28:53,242 --> 00:28:55,894
I believe I've uncovered the
real identity of Henry Eight.
622
00:28:55,896 --> 00:28:59,664
It all starts with the
corpulent Abraham Zelner.
623
00:28:59,666 --> 00:29:02,967
It was an assumed
identity used for
624
00:29:02,969 --> 00:29:06,738
the expressed purpose of an obesity
discrimination lawsuit.
625
00:29:06,740 --> 00:29:09,174
When the airline
that Zelner sued
626
00:29:09,176 --> 00:29:12,544
made its first lowball
offer of settlement, he accepted.
627
00:29:12,546 --> 00:29:14,896
Probably because he knew
that his false identity
628
00:29:14,898 --> 00:29:17,132
would not stand
up to scrutiny.
629
00:29:17,134 --> 00:29:18,316
This started
me thinking.
630
00:29:18,318 --> 00:29:20,151
What if he'd
done it before?
631
00:29:20,153 --> 00:29:23,438
So, you think he sued other airlines?
Airlines,
632
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,923
theaters, restaurants.
633
00:29:24,925 --> 00:29:27,275
To the professional fat man,
these businesses
634
00:29:27,277 --> 00:29:30,945
are a veritable deep-fried
buffet of nuisance lawsuits.
635
00:29:30,947 --> 00:29:32,497
Each one
636
00:29:32,499 --> 00:29:34,982
with a lucrative
stream of income.
637
00:29:34,984 --> 00:29:37,335
I dove into the records
of similar lawsuits filed
638
00:29:37,337 --> 00:29:39,337
on the East Coast and
focused only on those
639
00:29:39,339 --> 00:29:42,924
that resulted in quick
"go away" payoffs.
640
00:29:42,926 --> 00:29:45,376
Do you notice anything unusual
about the names
641
00:29:45,378 --> 00:29:46,661
of these plaintiffs?
642
00:29:46,663 --> 00:29:48,463
Abraham Zelner,
643
00:29:48,465 --> 00:29:51,332
Brad Yates,
Cory Xavier, Declan Winchell...
644
00:29:51,334 --> 00:29:52,867
The initials
645
00:29:52,869 --> 00:29:56,070
A.Zed, B.Y., C.X.,
646
00:29:56,072 --> 00:29:59,006
D.W.
They represent a pattern.
647
00:29:59,008 --> 00:30:00,859
First name starts with an "A"
and moves forward,
648
00:30:00,861 --> 00:30:02,811
the last names starts with "Z"
and moves backward.
649
00:30:02,813 --> 00:30:06,197
I believe they
were all assumed by one man;
650
00:30:06,199 --> 00:30:08,015
the same man
that Charles Milverton
651
00:30:08,017 --> 00:30:10,199
refers to in his ledger
as Henry Eight.
652
00:30:10,224 --> 00:30:12,465
That's great, but it still
doesn't tell us the real name.
653
00:30:12,679 --> 00:30:13,455
Nope.
654
00:30:13,456 --> 00:30:15,189
But it did help me
find photographs
655
00:30:15,191 --> 00:30:17,709
of the plaintiffs in two
of the nuisance suits.
656
00:30:17,711 --> 00:30:20,378
One appeared
in a Queen's newspaper
657
00:30:20,380 --> 00:30:22,747
regarding the complaint
of an Ethan Varner
658
00:30:22,749 --> 00:30:25,884
against a tanning salon whose beds
could not accommodate
659
00:30:25,886 --> 00:30:27,468
his prodigious girth.
660
00:30:27,470 --> 00:30:31,172
Four years ago, the
rotund Stuart Bloom
661
00:30:31,174 --> 00:30:32,590
sued a cineplex
in Dover, Delaware
662
00:30:32,592 --> 00:30:36,060
for excessively small seats.
He received a $50,000 payoff.
663
00:30:36,062 --> 00:30:38,146
It's the same man.
664
00:30:38,148 --> 00:30:40,682
Stuart Bloom does not
match the pattern.
665
00:30:40,684 --> 00:30:44,886
Does not. Because I believe
it was his first lawsuit.
666
00:30:44,888 --> 00:30:46,688
You think that's his real name?
667
00:30:46,690 --> 00:30:50,325
Abraham Zelner may not
have a DMV record,
668
00:30:50,327 --> 00:30:54,729
but Stuart Bloom
most certainly does.
669
00:30:54,731 --> 00:30:57,565
He lives in Staten Island.
670
00:31:09,545 --> 00:31:12,380
Mr. Bloom.
671
00:31:12,382 --> 00:31:14,749
It's so
dark in here.
672
00:31:27,529 --> 00:31:29,314
What is it?
673
00:31:32,601 --> 00:31:36,154
It's cat litter.
674
00:31:43,629 --> 00:31:46,130
I don't think this
was put down for cats.
675
00:31:46,132 --> 00:31:49,450
I think it was put
down to absorb odors.
676
00:32:10,853 --> 00:32:12,751
Captain Gregson,
meet Stuart Bloom,
677
00:32:12,752 --> 00:32:14,117
aka Henry Eight,
678
00:32:14,119 --> 00:32:16,736
aka Charles Milverton's
accomplice.
679
00:32:21,241 --> 00:32:22,709
Looks like
680
00:32:22,711 --> 00:32:25,712
he's been here about a week.
681
00:32:25,714 --> 00:32:28,581
Note the bruise
pattern on his chest.
682
00:32:31,352 --> 00:32:33,219
Is that a boot print?
683
00:32:33,221 --> 00:32:34,804
Obviously the killer
caught him unaware
684
00:32:34,806 --> 00:32:36,089
as he drove his head
685
00:32:36,091 --> 00:32:38,257
beneath the water.
686
00:32:38,259 --> 00:32:39,943
The body was
too immense
687
00:32:39,945 --> 00:32:42,362
to remove, so rather
than dismember him,
688
00:32:42,364 --> 00:32:45,699
Milverton left behind a decade's
worth of cat litter
689
00:32:45,701 --> 00:32:46,900
to cover the stench
690
00:32:46,902 --> 00:32:48,702
of his
decomposition.
691
00:32:48,704 --> 00:32:51,654
Wait a minute, you
think Milverton did this?
692
00:32:51,656 --> 00:32:53,106
Why not
Anthony Pistone?
693
00:32:53,108 --> 00:32:55,759
He killed Milverton.
694
00:32:55,761 --> 00:32:59,913
He would've had motive to kill
Bloom, too, no?
695
00:32:59,915 --> 00:33:02,090
The bruise on Bloom's
chest suggests a shoe size
696
00:33:02,115 --> 00:33:03,501
between a six and an eight.
697
00:33:03,502 --> 00:33:06,503
Milverton was a seven.
698
00:33:06,505 --> 00:33:08,388
Mr. Pistone a 12.
699
00:33:08,390 --> 00:33:11,091
Also the cat litter spread
about all over the place.
700
00:33:11,093 --> 00:33:13,426
It's the same one
that Milverton has in his home.
701
00:33:13,428 --> 00:33:15,228
I recognize the scent
quite vividly.
702
00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:17,147
We think if you run
the credit cards,
703
00:33:17,149 --> 00:33:18,815
you'll find
that he purchased
704
00:33:18,817 --> 00:33:21,017
an unusually large amount
of the stuff a couple weeks ago.
705
00:33:21,019 --> 00:33:23,636
Any idea why Milverton would
kill his partner in crime?
706
00:33:23,638 --> 00:33:26,305
Bloom wanted a raise?
707
00:33:26,307 --> 00:33:28,942
I think the more pressing
question, in my humble opinion,
708
00:33:28,944 --> 00:33:31,111
is this:
if Mr. Bloom hasn't taken over
709
00:33:31,113 --> 00:33:32,779
the blackmailing business,
then who has?
710
00:33:37,301 --> 00:33:38,918
Well, this is a surprise.
711
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,837
I would've thought
you would've covered
712
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:42,372
this wall with
evidence by now.
713
00:33:42,374 --> 00:33:43,957
I did.
I took it down.
714
00:33:43,959 --> 00:33:46,376
Put it back up again.
Took it down again.
715
00:33:46,378 --> 00:33:49,245
Not helpful, I take it.
716
00:33:49,247 --> 00:33:51,681
I've been through it all.
So have you.
717
00:33:51,683 --> 00:33:55,334
I need new data to move forward.
718
00:33:55,336 --> 00:33:58,337
I will take
another look at it
719
00:33:58,339 --> 00:34:00,940
before I go to bed.
720
00:34:00,942 --> 00:34:05,695
You were right about the
sobriety chips that I ordered.
721
00:34:07,815 --> 00:34:11,701
I was trying to get a rise.
I was...
722
00:34:11,703 --> 00:34:14,370
trying to spark
a conversation.
723
00:34:24,198 --> 00:34:27,867
I told Alfredo that I,
I could not accept
724
00:34:27,869 --> 00:34:30,270
my one-year chip
725
00:34:30,272 --> 00:34:32,372
'cause it would
conjure memories
726
00:34:32,374 --> 00:34:35,408
of a period of failure
in my life.
727
00:34:35,410 --> 00:34:37,026
That's not true.
728
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,598
I cannot accept my one-year chip
729
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,735
on my one-year anniversary
because...
730
00:34:45,737 --> 00:34:47,821
it's not my anniversary.
731
00:34:47,823 --> 00:34:51,007
Are you saying you relapsed?
732
00:34:51,009 --> 00:34:52,909
Mm.
733
00:34:52,911 --> 00:34:56,946
It was a while ago.
It was before I met you.
734
00:34:56,948 --> 00:35:00,166
The day after I agreed
to enter into rehab,
735
00:35:00,168 --> 00:35:01,801
as a matter of fact.
736
00:35:01,803 --> 00:35:05,755
I had realized
that my father was right.
737
00:35:05,757 --> 00:35:09,575
I needed to repair myself.
738
00:35:09,577 --> 00:35:15,932
So I disposed of my drugs
and destroyed my paraphernalia.
739
00:35:15,934 --> 00:35:20,036
The next day I entered Hemdale.
740
00:35:20,888 --> 00:35:22,939
The day after that...
741
00:35:22,941 --> 00:35:24,724
I got sick.
742
00:35:24,726 --> 00:35:27,593
And, uh, yeah, very sick.
743
00:35:30,781 --> 00:35:34,767
So I devised a way to leave
without being detected.
744
00:35:34,769 --> 00:35:37,370
I got what I needed...
745
00:35:37,372 --> 00:35:40,106
returned.
746
00:35:40,108 --> 00:35:42,408
Yeah.
747
00:35:42,410 --> 00:35:46,496
And that was the last time
I took drugs.
748
00:35:46,498 --> 00:35:49,582
Not the day before.
749
00:35:53,554 --> 00:35:56,639
Sherlock, I understand
why you're upset,
750
00:35:56,641 --> 00:36:00,293
but we're talking about
the difference of one day.
751
00:36:00,295 --> 00:36:04,764
It does not change what you did
in the 364 that followed.
752
00:36:10,604 --> 00:36:13,823
I decided to stop using drugs,
yes?
753
00:36:13,825 --> 00:36:18,494
I decided, me.
754
00:36:18,496 --> 00:36:20,697
And then 24 hours later...
755
00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:30,790
It sounds like a mere detail...
756
00:36:30,792 --> 00:36:32,842
but I'm a man of details.
757
00:36:32,844 --> 00:36:35,295
And-and it, it matters to me.
758
00:36:39,767 --> 00:36:41,884
Now, I know that I need
to tell Alfredo,
759
00:36:41,886 --> 00:36:47,023
but it's, uh,
proving difficult.
760
00:36:47,025 --> 00:36:52,345
And it just didn't seem right
to tell him before you.
761
00:37:07,628 --> 00:37:09,228
Ah.
762
00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:11,130
What is it?
763
00:37:11,132 --> 00:37:12,565
Charles Milverton's autopsy
report,
764
00:37:12,567 --> 00:37:14,033
which I would happily consider
new data
765
00:37:14,035 --> 00:37:16,126
were it not for the fact
that I was there
766
00:37:16,127 --> 00:37:18,019
when he was gunned down.
767
00:37:20,642 --> 00:37:22,091
Hmm.
768
00:37:23,344 --> 00:37:24,644
What?
769
00:37:24,646 --> 00:37:26,396
Uh, when you said that
770
00:37:26,398 --> 00:37:28,398
Anthony Pistone stomped
on Milverton's face,
771
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,350
I assumed it was all over,
772
00:37:30,352 --> 00:37:33,386
but according to this,
there's just damage to one side.
773
00:37:36,340 --> 00:37:37,573
They're gone.
774
00:37:37,575 --> 00:37:38,992
What are?
775
00:37:38,994 --> 00:37:41,661
His scars.
There was patches of them here.
776
00:37:41,663 --> 00:37:43,830
Very distinctive.
777
00:37:43,832 --> 00:37:47,367
Almost as though Pistone
has targeted them.
778
00:37:50,538 --> 00:37:56,092
Mr. Pistone, such a pleasure
to see you again.
779
00:37:56,094 --> 00:37:58,044
I was so glad to hear
that you made bail this morning.
780
00:37:58,046 --> 00:37:59,879
Thanks. My attorney said you had
781
00:37:59,881 --> 00:38:03,299
some more questions for me
before I go home.
782
00:38:03,301 --> 00:38:04,750
Yeah. Remind us,
783
00:38:04,752 --> 00:38:07,753
when did you first identify
Charles Milverton
784
00:38:07,755 --> 00:38:09,522
as your blackmailer?
785
00:38:09,524 --> 00:38:12,809
A few nights ago,
like I told you.
786
00:38:12,811 --> 00:38:14,427
We now have reason
to believe
787
00:38:14,429 --> 00:38:16,813
that you actually
crossed paths before that.
788
00:38:16,815 --> 00:38:19,699
Charles Milverton was savagely
beaten four months ago.
789
00:38:19,701 --> 00:38:21,951
He had to go to an ER.
790
00:38:21,953 --> 00:38:23,903
He said he was mugged,
which is why
791
00:38:23,905 --> 00:38:25,705
the responding detectives
took photographs,
792
00:38:25,707 --> 00:38:27,073
but we think he lied.
793
00:38:27,075 --> 00:38:31,127
He gave varying descriptions
of his mugger to the police.
794
00:38:31,129 --> 00:38:33,880
The doctor who treated him
chalked that up to concussion,
795
00:38:33,882 --> 00:38:36,299
but we think it was
more than that.
796
00:38:36,301 --> 00:38:38,501
We think that he couldn't
tell the real story.
797
00:38:38,503 --> 00:38:41,387
Which was that you found him and
beat him until he surprised you
798
00:38:41,389 --> 00:38:43,389
with an offer that
you could not refuse:
799
00:38:43,391 --> 00:38:45,258
a piece of his
blackmailing business.
800
00:38:45,260 --> 00:38:49,562
See these gashes, left temple?
801
00:38:49,564 --> 00:38:52,432
Now these wounds bear
a striking resemblance
802
00:38:52,434 --> 00:38:54,650
to the emblem on your ring.
803
00:38:57,104 --> 00:38:58,938
Milverton was left
with these scars.
804
00:38:58,940 --> 00:39:00,473
You knew this.
805
00:39:00,475 --> 00:39:03,276
So when the police
closed in on you two nights ago,
806
00:39:03,278 --> 00:39:06,329
you trampled his face in
a effort to obscure them.
807
00:39:06,331 --> 00:39:09,815
You want to guess how many
of these are out there?
808
00:39:09,817 --> 00:39:11,834
Mm. It's interesting
that you failed to mention
809
00:39:11,836 --> 00:39:14,420
the other night that Karen
is not your daughter,
810
00:39:14,422 --> 00:39:15,922
but your stepdaughter.
811
00:39:15,924 --> 00:39:19,926
According to your neighbors,
you two fight a lot.
812
00:39:19,928 --> 00:39:22,495
You found Milverton
months ago.
813
00:39:22,497 --> 00:39:25,331
You intended to punish him,
but he offered you
814
00:39:25,333 --> 00:39:28,134
a piece of his operation
in exchange for his life.
815
00:39:28,136 --> 00:39:30,002
You needed the money.
816
00:39:30,004 --> 00:39:32,138
You took him up
on his offer.
817
00:39:32,140 --> 00:39:34,891
Charles now had
two partners:
818
00:39:34,893 --> 00:39:36,776
his fail-safe
Stuart Bloom and you.
819
00:39:36,778 --> 00:39:38,528
Someone had to go.
820
00:39:38,530 --> 00:39:41,481
Milverton murdered Bloom.
Maybe you put him up to it,
821
00:39:41,483 --> 00:39:43,682
maybe he did it
of his own volition.
822
00:39:43,684 --> 00:39:45,684
Either way, I suspect
823
00:39:45,686 --> 00:39:48,704
a fifty-fifty split wasn't
enough for you.
824
00:39:48,706 --> 00:39:51,690
These are theories, Captain.
You're gonna need proof.
825
00:39:51,692 --> 00:39:55,077
I agree. Which is why we
conducted a thorough search
826
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:58,464
of your client's business
and home this morning.
827
00:39:58,466 --> 00:40:02,835
We found this laptop
828
00:40:02,837 --> 00:40:04,637
at his office.
829
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:06,389
It's Milverton's.
830
00:40:06,391 --> 00:40:09,208
You told me you smashed it.
Threw it in a Dumpster.
831
00:40:09,210 --> 00:40:11,394
Funny thing is
we didn't find it
832
00:40:11,396 --> 00:40:13,679
in your desk,
but in your brother's.
833
00:40:13,681 --> 00:40:15,681
He's already confessed
to being your partner,
834
00:40:15,683 --> 00:40:19,986
the Stuart Bloom to
your Charles Milverton.
835
00:40:19,988 --> 00:40:21,654
He was the one who
sent Ken Whitman
836
00:40:21,656 --> 00:40:23,105
the new demand
for money when
837
00:40:23,107 --> 00:40:25,024
you were in police custody
the other day.
838
00:40:25,026 --> 00:40:27,560
So it looks like
you'll be spending
839
00:40:27,562 --> 00:40:30,746
a few more decades in prison
than you thought.
840
00:40:35,902 --> 00:40:37,537
Hey.
841
00:40:37,539 --> 00:40:39,405
Change your mind?
842
00:40:39,407 --> 00:40:41,874
I have not.
843
00:40:41,876 --> 00:40:45,178
What are you doing here?
844
00:40:45,180 --> 00:40:47,246
You okay?
845
00:40:47,248 --> 00:40:51,300
There's something I'd like
to discuss with you.
846
00:40:57,224 --> 00:40:59,091
Hey. I didn't hear
you come in.
847
00:40:59,093 --> 00:41:01,444
You know me,
stealthy as a shadow.
848
00:41:01,446 --> 00:41:04,480
How'd it go
with Alfredo?
849
00:41:06,450 --> 00:41:07,933
Liberating.
850
00:41:07,935 --> 00:41:09,652
As you predicted.
851
00:41:10,621 --> 00:41:12,488
I'm lucky to have him.
852
00:41:16,076 --> 00:41:17,577
Look at the time.
853
00:41:17,579 --> 00:41:19,579
Happy real anniversary.
854
00:41:23,166 --> 00:41:25,918
Regardless of the actual start
date of my sobriety,
855
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,953
I still have no interest
in public celebrations,
856
00:41:27,955 --> 00:41:33,476
speeches, encouragements
or the bestowing of chips.
857
00:41:33,478 --> 00:41:35,011
I know.
858
00:41:37,848 --> 00:41:40,099
I saw this in a
secondhand store.
859
00:41:40,101 --> 00:41:42,735
It's dark.
860
00:41:42,737 --> 00:41:46,656
It's not just for anyone,
but I thought it was very you.
861
00:41:48,759 --> 00:41:52,745
I just wanted to let you know
that I was thinking of you.
