I have kind of a, uh,
different topic in mind.
3
00:00:09,576 --> 00:00:13,012
Craziest thoughts about your disease.
4
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:16,148
You know what I mean.
You know they're nuts,
5
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:18,807

into your head anyway.
6
00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:21,647
I often wonder if I should have been
born in another time.

Well, one could even say,
12
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:38,602
unnaturally keen.
13
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:43,607
And ours is an era of distraction.
14
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:49,210
It's a punishing drumbeat
of constant input.
15
00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:56,221
This cacophony which follows us
into our homes and into our beds
16
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:58,983

For a long time,
19
00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:11,963
there was only one poultice
for my raw nerve endings,
20
00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:15,972
and that was, uh, copious drug use.
21
00:01:18,645 --> 00:01:22,172
So in my less productive moments,
I'm given to wonder...
22

If I'd just been born
when it was a little quieter out there,
23
00:01:33,993 --> 00:01:37,121
would I have even become an addict
in the first place?

- Mycroft.

- Your maid told me you'd gone out.

Yes, yes, we did.

but pace yourself, okay?

I realize there's been some
awkwardness between the three of us.
86
00:05:20,687 --> 00:05:22,655
I seduced you
within weeks of your wedding
87
00:05:22,822 --> 00:05:24,653
and exposed your true character
to Mycroft.
88
00:05:24,824 --> 00:05:29,056
I cannot imagine how you've managed
to worm your way back into his life.
89
00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:31,162
It's complicated, Sherlock.
90
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:34,798
A year after my difficulties
with Mycroft,
91
00:05:34,967 --> 00:05:39,131
I fell in love with and married a man
by the name of Robert Suffolk.
92
00:05:39,305 --> 00:05:43,537
He's also known by his title,
The Marquess of Loudwater.
93
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:45,541
- Marquess?
- It's mid-level nobility.
94
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:47,771
It's smack between an earl and a duke.
95
00:05:47,947 --> 00:05:51,280
- Oh, so that makes you a...
- Marchioness of Loudwater, yes.
96
00:05:51,451 --> 00:05:54,852
I retain my title, though
I no longer retain my husband.
97
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:58,748
The marquess turned out
to be not as advertised.
98
00:05:58,925 --> 00:06:03,123
Not terribly interested in holding up his
end of the conjugal side, if you follow.
99
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:08,032
So I turned, in my loneliness,
to Dalton,
100
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,999
the man in charge of Robert's
stable of racehorses.
101
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:15,368
I won't bore you with the details,
but private investigators were hired,
102
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:18,772
photographs were taken,
and the usual ugliness ensued.
103
00:06:18,945 --> 00:06:23,006
Do you see, finally, the magnitude
of the favor that I did you?
104
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:28,148
While Robert and I were courting,
I fell quite in love with one of his horses,
105
00:06:28,321 --> 00:06:31,188
a champion stallion named
Silver Blaze.
106
00:06:31,357 --> 00:06:33,951
And thanks to the crafty work
of my lawyers,
107
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:38,393
I came out of my marriage with my title
and ownership of Silver Blaze.
108
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:42,091
Now, he can't race anymore,
you understand, he's too old.
109
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:45,931
But there is a thriving demand
for his studly services.
110
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:49,370
So you've become a horse pimp?
How fitting. Must be lucrative.
111
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:53,210
NIGELLA: Silver Blaze is being stabled
in Ulster County at the moment.
112
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:56,644
The other night,
Dalton was coming to the stables
113
00:06:56,816 --> 00:06:59,546
to give the animal
his usual medication.
114
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:02,620
He had a friend in the car,
and according to him,
115
00:07:02,789 --> 00:07:05,986
Dalton came upon a man
who was trying to break in the stables.
116
00:07:06,659 --> 00:07:10,026
Dalton confronted the burglar,
and the man shot him.
117
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:12,664
- He died at the scene.
- I'm so sorry.
118
00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:15,596
Thank you. It's been awful.
119
00:07:16,068 --> 00:07:19,629
When the murderer fled,
he left behind a bag of supplies.
120
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:23,936
The police found a syringe
full of concentrated potassium.
121
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:28,513
And they believe that Dalton's killer
intended to poison Silver Blaze.
122
00:07:28,681 --> 00:07:31,377
So you want us to find him
and protect your meal ticket?
123
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:33,109
And get justice for Dalton.
124
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:35,550
Look, I realize that
I've made some mistakes in my life,
125
00:07:35,721 --> 00:07:37,882
but I have made efforts
to improve myself.
126
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:41,288
And when Mycroft fell sick,
he found a way to forgive me.
127
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:44,760
- Nigella, please.
- I believe that you can do the same.

in that sense, I'd imagine.
168
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:09,639
You asked how Nigella
got back into my life.
169
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:13,006
When I was diagnosed,
she got in touch,
170
00:10:13,179 --> 00:10:15,079
asked if there was anything
she could do to help.
171
00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:17,738
When she learned I was looking
for a bone marrow donor,
172
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:19,680
she organized a drive to find one.
173
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:22,844
Turned it into a cause,
got the whole posh crowd
174
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,183
she was running around with involved.
175
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,721
I found my match because of her.
176
00:10:27,893 --> 00:10:31,693
- One good turn deserves another.
- Yes, I suppose it does.
177
00:10:32,231 --> 00:10:35,223
In any case, I don't think this is about
the quality of Nigella's character.
178
00:10:35,401 --> 00:10:36,800
I think this is about you and me.
179
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:43,601
If we help her, it will prove tangibly that
we've put this whole thing behind us.
180
00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:46,839
Or if you're still feeling stubborn,
181
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:50,471
you can just tell yourself
it's about solving a murder.
182
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:56,618
So Detective Bell said two N.Y.P.D.
Consultants would be coming out.
183
00:10:56,789 --> 00:10:59,314
Two did.
We brought a restaurateur with us.
184
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:03,384
He also said you'd be moving
Silver Blaze to the N.Y.P.D. Stables?
185
00:11:03,562 --> 00:11:06,963
Yes, it seems the best way to safeguard
against further possible attacks.
186
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:10,261
So, what happened here?
Be thorough.
187
00:11:10,436 --> 00:11:12,370
Well, Dalton Ladd parked his car there.
188
00:11:12,538 --> 00:11:14,529
He'd been out for a drink
with his friend Asa,
189
00:11:14,707 --> 00:11:19,076
who waited in the car while Mr. Ladd
went to give the horse his shot.
190
00:11:19,245 --> 00:11:21,179
He came upon a guy
trying to pick the lock.
191
00:11:21,747 --> 00:11:24,944
Asa said he was about 6 feet tall, but
he couldn't see much more than that.
192
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:27,847
Guy fires twice, he takes off,
and he leaves his bag.
193
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:30,754
Now, the owner had been
getting ready for bed.
194
00:11:30,923 --> 00:11:33,585
He heard the gunshots.
He comes out with a shotgun.
195
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:36,922
But by that time, the killer had
reached that tree line.
196
00:11:37,797 --> 00:11:40,857
- Were there any prints on the lock?
- Yeah, too many.
197
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,426
People are in and out of here
all the time, so no prints of value.
198
00:11:45,104 --> 00:11:47,732
- So did the owner pursue the gunman?
MAN: Yeah.
199
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:51,035
Stayed on him for about a quarter mile,
till he reached a clearing in the woods.
200
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:54,077
But when he got there,
the guy was just gone.
201
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,211
Sorry, it'd be bet... Could you just
stay out of the eye line here?
202
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:01,444
- You're joking. I was just standing here.
- Yes, that's the problem.
203
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:04,020
Oh, could you show us the clearing?
204
00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,824
So like I said,
the owner chased him this far.
205
00:12:07,993 --> 00:12:09,722
But when he got here,
the guy was just gone.
206
00:12:09,895 --> 00:12:11,886
How much of a lead
did the gunman have?
207
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:14,532
Well, the owner says he was about
a hundred yards behind.
208
00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:17,599
I know, there's no way that the gunman
would've had time
209
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:19,533
to make it clear across the field.
210
00:12:19,705 --> 00:12:23,038
But I figure the owner was further back
from the gunman than he thought.
211
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:25,439
Yes, that's one possible explanation.
212
00:12:25,611 --> 00:12:28,102
Another possible explanation
is that he didn't disappear at all.
213
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,078
He just took to higher ground to see
how many people were following him,
214
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:33,343
and then planned his escape.
215
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,216
These trees are over a hundred years
old. There's no low-hanging branches.
216
00:12:37,389 --> 00:12:39,789
But this young oak would work.
217
00:12:40,826 --> 00:12:43,522
He would have to hoist himself up
off that branch.
218
00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:46,927
Yes, which means he had to grab it.
219
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:49,226
All right.
220
00:12:50,469 --> 00:12:53,529

222

I'll wager these are the fingerprints
of our murderer.
223
00:13:25,771 --> 00:13:27,170
There's one missing.
224
00:13:27,339 --> 00:13:32,106
The man we're looking for is missing
the ring finger from his left hand.
225
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,609
Should we see if he's been
arrested before?

assassin brings on his rounds, shall we?

BELL: They happened in two batches.

Two mass shootings
the DEA thinks are tied to a war

00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,520
between the Robles cartel
and a couple lieutenants
247

00:19:31,603 --> 00:19:34,936
The corporation has, three times,
been investigated by the DEA,
331
00:19:35,107 --> 00:19:40,067
who have long suspected
it is a front for the Robles cartel.
332
00:19:40,979 --> 00:19:44,415
You think Joaquin Aguilar
is the real money behind those horses?
333
00:19:44,583 --> 00:19:47,074
It's called shadow ownership.
Happens all the time in racing.
334
00:19:47,252 --> 00:19:48,617
Look at this.
335
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:54,952
This is a list of all the horses owned
by Mariotti Farms.
336
00:19:55,127 --> 00:19:58,824
This is a list of all
Silver Blaze's sexual partners
337
00:19:58,997 --> 00:20:01,465
since the marchioness
began pimping him out.
338
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:03,963
Twice for No is on both these lists.
339
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:08,129
Joaquin Aguilar paid to have one of
his mares impregnated by Silver Blaze.
340
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:12,038
I need Nigella's records.
341
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:19,207
The pairing led to a male offspring,
born healthy,
342
00:20:19,384 --> 00:20:24,412
who was then sold to a third party.
343
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:26,990
That's weird. He paid for a champion
to impregnate his horse.
344
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:29,992
- Why would he just sell off the baby?
HOLMES: It is curious.
345
00:20:30,162 --> 00:20:32,858
The foal is housed
at a stables in Long Island,
346
00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:34,555
so I say we go and have a look.
347
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:36,564
But not until the morning, right?
348
00:20:37,169 --> 00:20:40,661
So does this mean that you can actually
sit down and have some dessert?
349
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:41,863
Hmm?
350
00:20:49,781 --> 00:20:50,873

Excellent.

No, sorry, I can't do this.
There's just too much tension.
353
00:20:57,556 --> 00:21:00,525
- What? There's no tension.
- We're having a nice time.

00:21:00,692 --> 00:21:02,683
Watson carries unease
between her shoulder blades.

Her trapezius muscles are in knots,
carrying over to her deltoids.

My back is fine.

I'm not so sure this is a good idea.

Thank you for your company.
361
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:23,778
What is the matter with you?
362
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:25,382
Your brother is reaching out to you.
363
00:21:25,550 --> 00:21:28,212
You guys have a chance to fix things,
and you're wasting it.
364
00:21:28,387 --> 00:21:31,083
I'm not wrong, though.
You're uncomfortable in his presence.
365

I am not uncomfortable
around Mycroft.
366
00:21:32,924 --> 00:21:34,915
I am uncomfortable around
you and Mycroft together.

For what reason?

This is none of your business.
But you're being weird.

00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:42,057
And I don't want you to wreck your
relationship with your brother again.
370
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:43,633
Okay, we had dinner.
371
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:46,396
I was a bit nervous because
I thought he was gonna hit on me.
372
00:21:46,571 --> 00:21:48,698
But it became obvious
that he wanted to talk about you.
373
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:51,365
He was sincere and sweet,
and he's funny too.
374
00:21:51,543 --> 00:21:53,101
- Oh, my God.
- I was in London.
375
00:21:53,278 --> 00:21:57,271
- I didn't know he was gonna come.
- You had sex with my brother.

- Willingly?
- Great, you had to push, now you know.

Your call.
380
00:22:17,269 --> 00:22:19,737
Watson, I've decided not to hold
your dalliance against you.
381
00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:21,270
As you said, you're a grown woman.
382
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,832
I'm disappointed in you.
383
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:27,808
I thought you were attempting
to move beyond petty revenge tactics.
384
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:30,504
It wasn't revenge.
385
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:33,450
I have just one question
for the both of you.
386
00:22:33,618 --> 00:22:35,279
Is this going to be
an ongoing arrangement?
387
00:22:35,454 --> 00:22:37,888
Because, if it is,
I'll need to plan accordingly.
388

You haven't discussed it.

Well, get it sorted immediately,
would you?

00:22:45,597 --> 00:22:47,224
It's the least you could do.

Just out of curiosity,
was he any good, my brother?

Hi, Nutmeg.

You mind telling me why the N.Y.P.D.
Is so keen to see a baby horse?

00:23:16,828 --> 00:23:19,228
It's a winding tale.
It involves the British peerage,

00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:23,926
syringes full of concentrated potassium,
and 13 drug-related murders.

WATSON: You wanna tell me
what we're looking at here?

00:23:30,375 --> 00:23:31,399
Whorls.
405
00:23:31,576 --> 00:23:33,066
- Whirls?
- Whorls.
406
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,509
Small patches of hair
which grow in the opposite direction
407
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,843
to the rest of the coat.
I'll only be a moment.

to find something to occupy your time.

Have sex with my brother, perhaps.
410
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:48,284
It gives me absolutely no pleasure
to say I told you so,
411
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:50,189
but Nigella Mason is a horrid witch.
412
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:52,592
If it gives you no pleasure
why do you look so satisfied?
413
00:23:52,764 --> 00:23:55,426
Because I know why Joaquin Aguilar
is angry with her.
414
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,761
Summon the marchioness.
415
00:23:57,936 --> 00:24:00,496
Did you know
there have been several studies done
416
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:04,540
on whether or not the placement of
whorls on horses is a heritable trait?
417
00:24:04,709 --> 00:24:06,267
I beg your pardon?
418
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:09,414
The placement of those little cowlicks
is inherited.
419
00:24:10,015 --> 00:24:11,676
And why are you telling me this?
420
00:24:11,850 --> 00:24:15,718
Well, it's not something that most people
would look for, but appears to be true.
421
00:24:15,887 --> 00:24:17,411
I'll show you.
422
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:19,716
Mm. Ahem.
423
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:24,028
This, ahem, is a photograph
of Silver Blaze.
424
00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:27,688
You will observe there is a whorl
directly between his eyes.
425
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:28,890
NIGELLA:
Mm.
426
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:33,697
The same is true of Twice for No,
who recently birthed Silver Blaze's son.
427
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:35,897
Now, the laws of nature tell us
that their offspring
428
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,304
should also have whorls
between his eyes.
429
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:40,941
We looked at this young beast
this morning.
430
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:45,981
Nutmeg has whorls positioned
well above his eyes.
431
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:49,951
Which leads me
to the pertinent question:
432
00:24:50,121 --> 00:24:53,352
What exactly happened
to the real Silver Blaze?
433
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:56,323
- Is he dead?
- Dead? Heh.
434
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,656
You saw him yourself yesterday.
435
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:02,857
Well, I saw a horse
that certainly looked like Silver Blaze.
436
00:25:03,034 --> 00:25:04,558
But you and I both know that the horse
437
00:25:04,736 --> 00:25:07,933
whose sexual favors you are selling
for upwards of £100,000 a pop
438
00:25:08,106 --> 00:25:10,336
is an imposter.
439
00:25:16,248 --> 00:25:20,344
You have no idea the battles that I
fought to get ownership of Silver Blaze
440
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,977
included in my prenuptials
with the marquess.
441
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:26,150
And why shouldn't I
have something to show
442
00:25:26,324 --> 00:25:28,918
for giving years of my life
to that man's lie?
443
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:31,862
- You were married for 22 months.
NIGELLA: Yes.
444
00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:34,892
And I earned that horse
during that stretch, believe me.
445
00:25:35,066 --> 00:25:36,761
I earned a pack of horses.
446
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:40,830
And of course it wasn't 10 weeks
after we signed the papers
447
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:44,999
that I get a call out of the blue,
3 a.m., heart failure.
448
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:48,842
So you hatched a plan
to keep the money rolling in.
449
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:50,772
Where did you find the imposter?
450
00:25:50,949 --> 00:25:53,315
Silver Blaze has a brother.
451
00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:55,246
He never amounted to much.
452
00:25:55,420 --> 00:25:57,854
But their markings are almost identical.
453
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:02,357
We bought him for a few hundred quid,
applied a bit of hair dye here and there.
454
00:26:02,527 --> 00:26:03,551
Dye?
455
00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:06,288
You're charging these people
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
456
00:26:06,464 --> 00:26:08,159
Don't they want proof
it's the real horse?
457
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:11,200
Yes, well, the racing world's
always been a little bit backward.
458
00:26:11,903 --> 00:26:15,532
With studding, most of the scrutiny
falls on the mare.
459
00:26:15,707 --> 00:26:16,833
They're screened for disease,
460
00:26:17,008 --> 00:26:20,239
for the tendency to inflict injury
during the live cover.
461
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:23,677
And the stud, well, the whole world
knew that Silver Blaze was mine.
462
00:26:24,516 --> 00:26:27,178
There were some requests
for genetic testing.
463
00:26:27,352 --> 00:26:32,415
We took some hair and some blood
before we got rid of the body.
464
00:26:33,191 --> 00:26:35,182
So really we didn't run into
that many problems.
465
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,352
You're the first three people
who have figured it out.
466
00:26:38,530 --> 00:26:39,758
Actually, we're not.
467
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:42,058
Joaquin Aguilar caught on too.
468
00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:44,526
But he couldn't just expose you.
469
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:47,672
That would destroy the value of the foal
born to his mare.
470
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:50,672
So he did what
drug kingpins are wont to do.
471
00:26:50,842 --> 00:26:54,869
He planned his revenge,
poisoned your horse.
472
00:26:55,747 --> 00:26:58,045
And after you watched it die
over several days,
473
00:26:58,216 --> 00:27:01,344
he would then come for you
and your consort.
474
00:27:02,053 --> 00:27:03,077
Dalton.
475
00:27:05,123 --> 00:27:07,683
Are you gonna tell the police
what I've done?
476
00:27:11,863 --> 00:27:14,923
I see I'm at the mercy
of the Holmes brothers.
477
00:27:16,368 --> 00:27:18,029
MAN 1:
I knew it was a drug deal.
478
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:22,539
That's why I stayed hidden,
even after I heard the gunshots.
479
00:27:22,707 --> 00:27:24,470
I heard men screaming.
480
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:28,101
I got up to run, and I saw him.
481
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:31,180
He was sitting there like a statue.
482
00:27:31,349 --> 00:27:34,546
His eyes, l... I don't know.
483
00:27:34,719 --> 00:27:36,653
They were just cold.
484
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:38,688
Like the Arctic.
485
00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:40,916
The only man to ever lay eyes
on El Mecanico
486
00:27:41,092 --> 00:27:43,287
has a weakness
for unhelpful metaphors.
487
00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:50,195
- Are you still sulking about Mycroft?
- No.
488
00:27:50,368 --> 00:27:52,598
I hope you don't expect me
to apologize.
489
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:56,229
If I had a sister, would you even hesitate
for a second before you slept with her?
490
00:27:56,408 --> 00:27:59,900
It's not the act itself that gives me
pause. It's that I can't put it into context.
491
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:07,615
There is a certain intimacy
which is a byproduct of our partnership.
492
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:12,652
We work well together, and
I think we both value that fact, right?
493
00:28:13,324 --> 00:28:16,657
You must have known I would deduce
that you had slept with my brother.
494
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:20,757
It is unlike you
to introduce such a free radical
495
00:28:20,932 --> 00:28:24,265
into an otherwise
highly functional relationship.
496
00:28:24,736 --> 00:28:28,137
Unless, of course, the unlikelihood
was precisely the point.
497
00:28:29,574 --> 00:28:31,633
Do you think you're
maybe overthinking this?
498
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:33,367
You wanted to demonstrate
499
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:36,412
that I don't have a monopoly
on boorish or outrageous behavior.
500
00:28:36,581 --> 00:28:40,017
That you won't become a slave to
the roles we have assigned each other.
501
00:28:40,351 --> 00:28:41,943
Mm.
502
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,247
I'm glad we cleared the air.
503
00:28:44,989 --> 00:28:46,183
Message received.
504
00:28:46,357 --> 00:28:47,881
There was no message.
505
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,253
[SIGHS]
506
00:28:49,427 --> 00:28:52,624
Does that man's reliance on hazy
metaphor seem almost willful to you?
507
00:28:52,797 --> 00:28:54,321
What do you mean?
508
00:28:57,335 --> 00:29:02,500
I guess I thought
he looked like... vengeance.
509
00:29:03,174 --> 00:29:04,198
MAN 2:
Vengeance, okay.
510
00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:07,367
He's selling an idea,
not describing a person.
511
00:29:10,615 --> 00:29:15,780
I guess I thought
he looked like... vengeance.
512
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:19,947
MAN 2: Vengeance, okay.
Can you be more specific?
513
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:25,253
You're a crafty cow, aren't you?
514
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:27,391
Look at his hand.
515
00:29:29,734 --> 00:29:31,395
He's missing his ring finger.
516
00:29:31,569 --> 00:29:34,561
As is the man who murdered
Dalton Ladd the other night.
517
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:38,001
I don't think we're looking
at the witness to a massacre.
518
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:40,736
I think he's the perpetrator.
519
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,177
That's El Mecanico.
520
00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:46,777
This is the guy the feds
have been chasing for years?
521
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:50,114
If that's true, why did he even bother
giving this statement?
522
00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:52,552
We think that the police
got to the scene of the massacre
523
00:29:52,724 --> 00:29:53,850
before he could get away.
524
00:29:54,025 --> 00:29:55,993
He had to come up with a cover story.
525
00:29:56,161 --> 00:29:58,493
We're dealing with
an exceptionally cunning opponent.
526
00:29:58,663 --> 00:30:01,427
He'd have to have this identity
in place as a fail-safe.
527
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:04,033
Once the authorities arrived,
he crafted a tale
528
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:06,397
that took advantage
of everyone's preconceived notions
529
00:30:06,571 --> 00:30:08,869
of what a cartel hit man
should look like.
530
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,031
He sent the DEA hunting for a myth.
531
00:30:11,209 --> 00:30:14,303
And no one noticed that the guy's
missing a finger on his left hand?
532
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,970
They've been working off
of partial fingerprints.
533
00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:19,514
No one knew that they were pursuing
a four-fingered man
534
00:30:19,684 --> 00:30:23,814
until we found a complete set of prints
at the scene of Dalton Ladd's murder.
535
00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:28,220
That's him.
We're about to apprehend El Mecanico.
536
00:30:28,393 --> 00:30:29,690
Well, let's say you're right.
537
00:30:29,861 --> 00:30:32,728
This guy told the feds
his name was Kent Jenkins.
538
00:30:32,897 --> 00:30:34,125
I'm guessing that's an alias.
539
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:37,959
So we know what he looks like.
That's more than we had.
540
00:30:38,136 --> 00:30:40,730
But I don't see how
we're about to put cuffs on the guy.
541
00:30:40,905 --> 00:30:44,671
We know what he looks like,
and we know what he wants.
542
00:30:46,477 --> 00:30:48,741
El Mecanico
is nothing if not thorough.
543
00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:51,006
He was contracted
to kill Nigella Mason.
544
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:53,412
Rest assured,
he's gonna try and do exactly that.
545
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:55,951
We don't use civilians as bait.
546
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,021
There's no need to put her directly
in his crosshairs.
547
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:02,125
No, there's no doubt
he's monitoring her movements.
548
00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:05,524
One of the simplest ways to do that
is listen in on her phone conversations.
549
00:31:05,697 --> 00:31:07,995
Anyone with 50 pounds to spend
can buy the software
550
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:10,430
which lets them listen in
on virtually any wireless call.
551
00:31:10,602 --> 00:31:12,627
That's why we told her
not to use her cell.
552
00:31:12,804 --> 00:31:17,639
Yeah, so, what if she slips up?
553
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:22,308
Ms. Mason told her friend
she'd be at the bar at quarter to 5.
554
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,313
We can expect this guy
to set up shop early. Be ready.
555
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:30,546
He'll definitely want the lay of the land
before he makes a move.
556
00:31:39,597 --> 00:31:40,621
Hi, there.
557
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,497
Don't move.
558
00:31:43,668 --> 00:31:45,829
MAN: Hands behind your back.
BELL: Get on the ground.
559
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:49,605
I'll thank you not to refer to my client
as El Mecanico again.
560
00:31:49,774 --> 00:31:51,537
He's a gainfully employed citizen.
561
00:31:51,709 --> 00:31:55,702
GREGSON: He's on the books at one
of Joaquin Aguilar's front companies.
562
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,507
- Thank you.
GREGSON: A position incidentally...
563
00:31:57,682 --> 00:31:59,809
Your text said you found him.
564
00:32:00,718 --> 00:32:03,380
El Mecanico's real name
is Keith Newell.
565
00:32:03,554 --> 00:32:05,522
I don't envy his attorney
at the moment.
566
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:06,918
GREGSON:
Your gainfully employed client
567
00:32:07,091 --> 00:32:10,686
was carrying a $10,000 handgun
when we picked him up.
568
00:32:10,862 --> 00:32:12,227
That weapon is registered.
569
00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:17,266
We have him on videotape
lying through his teeth to the DEA.
570
00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:19,801
WOMAN: I'm not completely
convinced that's my client.
571
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:23,065
GREGSON: We have his fingerprints
at three different murder scenes.
572
00:32:23,574 --> 00:32:27,340
You should be begging
to talk to me right now.
573
00:32:27,512 --> 00:32:30,481
You've just caught a mass murderer.
574
00:32:30,648 --> 00:32:33,515
People have been hunting
for this guy for a decade.
575
00:32:33,685 --> 00:32:35,175
Well done.
576
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,883
And thank you.
577
00:32:41,592 --> 00:32:42,889
What's going on?
578
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:47,157
Be right back.
579
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:51,926
- I just got a call from Latent Prints.
- Something wrong?
580
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:55,698
We just compared that guy's prints
to the ones we found at all the murders.
581
00:32:55,873 --> 00:32:57,704
- They don't match.
- What?
582
00:32:57,875 --> 00:33:00,036
- Not even close.
- No, there's been a mistake.
583
00:33:00,211 --> 00:33:02,270
- We ran it three times.
- Do it again.
584
00:33:02,447 --> 00:33:05,075
That man lied on videotape,
he's missing a finger on his left hand,
585
00:33:05,249 --> 00:33:08,047
he was carrying a handgun he intended
to use to murder Nigella Mason.
586
00:33:08,219 --> 00:33:10,813
Holmes, are you listening?
The prints don't match.
587
00:33:11,556 --> 00:33:15,287
We can hold him for trespassing,
but he'll make bail soon.
588
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:18,793
And when he does,
we're gonna have to let him go.
589
00:33:30,408 --> 00:33:34,344
Must be a hazard
in your line of work, frustration.
590
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:35,536
What?
591
00:33:35,713 --> 00:33:38,307
No, I'm just saying
you've both built a brilliant case.
592
00:33:38,483 --> 00:33:43,648
I really thought you had your man.
It must be frustrating being wrong.
593
00:33:43,821 --> 00:33:46,381
It's true we've reached a crossroads,
but we're not wrong.
594
00:33:46,557 --> 00:33:49,424
- Keith Newell is El Mecanico.
- But his fingerprints didn't match.
595
00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:52,791
That's a factor
which needs to be accounted for.
596
00:33:52,964 --> 00:33:55,057
There's only one explanation
I can come up with.
597
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:58,464
Which means there's only one
explanation that we need to investigate.
598
00:33:58,636 --> 00:33:59,796
Fake fingerprints.
599
00:34:01,205 --> 00:34:03,503
- Fake fingerprints?
- Makes perfect sense.
600
00:34:03,674 --> 00:34:06,404
El Mecanico, he's a cautious man
in a hazardous line of work.
601
00:34:06,577 --> 00:34:09,307
He has a set of false fingerprints
as a last line of defense
602
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,914
against exactly the kind of meeting
he had today.
603
00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:16,315
I get it, but fake fingerprints?
Is that even possible?
604
00:34:16,487 --> 00:34:17,647
Yeah, of course it is.
605
00:34:17,822 --> 00:34:19,346
They're rarely seen in the underworld.
606
00:34:19,524 --> 00:34:21,890
To make a top-notch pair,
you need a high-resolution camera,
607
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,925
you need a industrial-grade
chemistry lab,
608
00:34:24,095 --> 00:34:28,122
and ideally a set of
human hands for your prints.
609
00:34:28,299 --> 00:34:31,268
El Mecanico works for a cartel,
so money's no issue,
610
00:34:31,436 --> 00:34:33,734
and I imagine they're awash
with severed hands.
611
00:34:34,372 --> 00:34:37,136
Yeah, that's how he's done it,
fake fingerprints.
612
00:34:37,308 --> 00:34:41,039
He must have peeled them off while
they were bringing him to the station.
613
00:34:48,586 --> 00:34:50,577
Why are you poking me
with your single stick?
614
00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:52,086
I'm poking the covers to determine
615
00:34:52,256 --> 00:34:54,451
whether or not my brother
is in there with you.
616
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:56,058
It's just me.
617
00:34:56,227 --> 00:34:57,888
We should get in touch with him
right away.
618
00:34:58,062 --> 00:35:00,587
- We're going to Denning.
WATSON: What's in Denning?
619
00:35:00,765 --> 00:35:03,199
Well, it's where Keith Newell lives,
for one thing.
620
00:35:03,367 --> 00:35:06,097
And why do we need to see
where he lives?
621
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:08,170
From the DEA files.
622
00:35:08,339 --> 00:35:11,069
Did you know that the partial prints
attributed to El Mecanico
623
00:35:11,242 --> 00:35:12,903
were found at three
different crime scenes?
624
00:35:13,077 --> 00:35:16,171
- I thought it was two murders.
- Two murders, three crimes.
625
00:35:16,347 --> 00:35:20,374
So they found the same print
at the scene of a liquor store robbery?
626
00:35:20,551 --> 00:35:22,917
Someone stole all
the Straw Dog wine in the place.
627
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:25,147
That doesn't make any sense.
628
00:35:25,323 --> 00:35:28,451
Newell, or El Mecanico,
or whatever you want to call him,
629
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:30,287
he works for a billion-dollar business.
630
00:35:30,461 --> 00:35:33,225
He's gotta be paid well,
so I doubt he drinks cheap wine.
631
00:35:33,397 --> 00:35:35,365
And if he does,
he can pay for it himself.
632
00:35:35,533 --> 00:35:37,660
Which is how I arrived at my theory.
633
00:35:37,835 --> 00:35:40,599
Newell committed the massacres
wearing someone else's fingerprints.
634
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:42,738
But he didn't do the robbery.
635
00:35:42,907 --> 00:35:45,876
The robbery happened six months
before the first murders.
636
00:35:46,043 --> 00:35:48,443
It was perpetrated
by the original owner of the fingerprints,
637
00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:52,777
who then donated their hands to
El Mecanico, presumably not voluntarily.
638
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:55,919
- Mm. Was there a suspect?
- There's no mention of one.
639
00:35:56,087 --> 00:35:58,681
The sheriff who looked into the robbery
retired some time ago,
640
00:35:58,856 --> 00:36:00,380
but she has agreed to speak with us.
641
00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:05,458
I remember what you're talking about,
sure, but it's a stretch to call it a case.
642
00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:07,097
Why is that?
643
00:36:07,265 --> 00:36:10,132
Someone stole all the Straw Dog.
644
00:36:10,301 --> 00:36:12,166
Just the Straw Dog.
645
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:14,964
We used to have a handful
of homeless people in town,
646
00:36:15,139 --> 00:36:18,472
not more than ten or 12,
but I kept tabs on them.
647
00:36:18,643 --> 00:36:21,407
I was sheriff, it was my job
to know what was going on.
648
00:36:22,346 --> 00:36:25,907
A month or two before
Schultz's liquor store was robbed,
649
00:36:26,083 --> 00:36:29,314
this new guy drifted into town.
650
00:36:29,487 --> 00:36:32,979
Jed something.
I can't remember his last name
651
00:36:33,157 --> 00:36:35,853
because everybody
just called him Straw Dog Jed.
652
00:36:36,594 --> 00:36:41,531
This guy spent most of his day
panhandling by the lot where he slept.
653
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:42,996
I went to pick him up.
654
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:48,002
Found about ten unopened bottles
of Straw Dog, but no Jed.
655
00:36:48,172 --> 00:36:51,869
I figured he pulled up stakes
after he robbed the store.
656
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:53,305
Bit odd, don't you think?
657
00:36:53,477 --> 00:36:56,275
Someone called Straw Dog Jed
steals a great quantity
658
00:36:56,447 --> 00:36:58,938
of his favorite beverage,
and then he just leaves it all behind?
659
00:36:59,116 --> 00:37:01,914
His drinking buddy
sure thought it was weird.
660
00:37:02,086 --> 00:37:05,613
He swore up and down that
something must've happened to Jed.
661
00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:08,953
This lot where he slept,
do you think you could show it to us?
662
00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:12,118
WOMAN: The town redeveloped
the lot with stimulus money.
663
00:37:12,296 --> 00:37:15,697
It's been a park for about
five years now.
664
00:37:15,866 --> 00:37:20,735
- And where was it that Jed slept?
- Oh, I guess right around there.
665
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:23,669
HOLMES: So, what was the ground
like before the lot was converted?
666
00:37:23,841 --> 00:37:26,469
- Was there greenery?
- Oh, maybe a weed or two.
667
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:29,909
Other than that, it was just
a patch of hardscrabble dirt.
668
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:32,845
- Excellent.
- Why is that excellent?
669
00:37:33,017 --> 00:37:36,976
Well, everything would have been
planted at roughly the same time
670
00:37:37,154 --> 00:37:42,524
when the lot was converted into a park,
so everything's of uniform age.
671
00:37:42,693 --> 00:37:44,217
Well, except for this oak tree.
672
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:46,791
HOLMES:
This tree's the same age as the others,
673
00:37:46,964 --> 00:37:49,956
just taller and lusher and healthier.
674
00:37:50,134 --> 00:37:52,830
Maybe it got more food
than the other ones.
675
00:37:53,004 --> 00:37:54,437
Precisely.
676
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:58,598
Something in the soil has
provided extra nutrients for this tree.
677
00:37:59,477 --> 00:38:02,503
You think something
was decomposing down there.
678
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,672
We're gonna need the police,
some men with shovels.
679
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:09,911
But I think we might be standing
on the grave of Straw Dog Jed.
680
00:38:10,087 --> 00:38:11,850
GREGSON: Mr. Newell, on behalf
of the City of New York,
681
00:38:12,023 --> 00:38:16,016
we'd like to thank you for providing
your fingerprints and your DNA sample.
682
00:38:16,193 --> 00:38:19,458
We are unable to link them
to either of the mass killings
683
00:38:19,630 --> 00:38:22,861
associated with the Robles
narcotics cartel.
684
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:27,528
So we wanted to apologize
for any imposition on your time.
685
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:28,865
We appreciate that.
686
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,008
However, we have been in touch
687
00:38:31,175 --> 00:38:34,235
with the police department
of Denning, New York.
688
00:38:34,412 --> 00:38:36,778
It seems that they have a new lead
689
00:38:36,947 --> 00:38:42,180
in the disappearance
of a man named Jed Eichen.
690
00:38:42,353 --> 00:38:44,787
BELL: Though you might remember him
as Straw Dog Jed.
691
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:47,116
Turns out someone killed him.
692
00:38:47,291 --> 00:38:49,759
Buried him right there in town.
693
00:38:49,927 --> 00:38:50,985
No hands.
694
00:38:51,562 --> 00:38:55,794
But we did find some hairs
that weren't Mr. Eichen's
695
00:38:55,966 --> 00:38:57,991
buried right in there with him.
696
00:38:58,636 --> 00:39:01,104
Care to guess whose DNA
they matched?
697
00:39:01,272 --> 00:39:02,500
WOMAN [OVER TV]:
As part of a plea bargain,
698
00:39:02,673 --> 00:39:05,107
New York resident Keith Newell
confessed today
699
00:39:05,276 --> 00:39:09,144
to working as a hired gunman
for the Robles narcotics cartel.
700
00:39:09,313 --> 00:39:10,337
[DOORBELL RINGING]
701
00:39:10,514 --> 00:39:12,846
It remains unclear
exactly how many murders Newell...
702
00:39:16,420 --> 00:39:17,682
Hi.
703
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:20,916
I'm here for Sherlock.
704
00:39:25,096 --> 00:39:26,256
I'm sure he'll be right up.
705
00:39:27,465 --> 00:39:28,830
Yup.
706
00:39:33,738 --> 00:39:35,672
We've hired a chef.
707
00:39:36,474 --> 00:39:39,807
- For the restaurant.
- That's great.
708
00:39:39,977 --> 00:39:43,003
We'll be refining the menu
over the next couple of days.
709
00:39:45,583 --> 00:39:47,813
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
710
00:39:49,787 --> 00:39:51,982
I was wondering,
711
00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:56,451
would you be my guest
for the opening?
712
00:39:58,295 --> 00:40:00,991
Wow, that's so nice. I would l...
713
00:40:08,105 --> 00:40:10,369
Do you think that's
gonna complicate things?
714
00:40:11,609 --> 00:40:13,270
Look.
715
00:40:14,011 --> 00:40:15,706
Setting aside the events of London,
716
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,576
I've come to think of you
as an extraordinary person.
717
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:21,081
I'm so grateful you're
in my brother's life.
718
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:27,180
And I would like very much
the chance for you and I
719
00:40:27,992 --> 00:40:29,550
to become friends.
720
00:40:53,083 --> 00:40:54,448
Marchioness.
721
00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:56,745
So you'll be pleased to hear
722
00:40:56,921 --> 00:41:01,290
I have reached out to certain attorneys
known to associate with Joaquin Aguilar.
723
00:41:01,725 --> 00:41:03,955
I made it quite clear
that if any harm comes to you,
724
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:07,495
I will expose the fact
that Aguilar knowingly sold a foal
725
00:41:07,665 --> 00:41:10,099
with fraudulent bloodlines.
726
00:41:10,868 --> 00:41:12,859
I'm confident he'll cut his losses.
727
00:41:13,037 --> 00:41:14,937
You should be safe.
728
00:41:15,973 --> 00:41:17,565
Thank you.
729
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:20,877
And what about me?
730
00:41:21,045 --> 00:41:23,946
Well, I think that's up to
my brother to decide.
731
00:41:28,385 --> 00:41:33,550
You are, as of this moment,
out of the stud business.
732
00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:37,360
- You're not gonna report me?
- I'm not done.
733
00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:39,691
We've seen your records.
734
00:41:39,864 --> 00:41:42,458
Between the insurance payments
you'll get for Dalton Ladd's death
735
00:41:42,633 --> 00:41:45,830
and the money you've saved, you'll have
enough to repay victims of your scam.
736
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:48,904
You can keep the money
Joaquin Aguilar gave you.
737
00:41:49,073 --> 00:41:54,272
Use it to fund a new,
hopefully more respectable start in life.
738
00:41:54,879 --> 00:41:57,780
Sherlock and I will, of course,
oversee the repayments.
739
00:41:59,416 --> 00:42:00,906
Thank you.
740
00:42:02,086 --> 00:42:04,919
It's been lovely seeing you
again, Nigella.
741
00:42:05,456 --> 00:42:09,017
But if it's all the same with you,
I'd like to have a coffee with my brother.
742
00:42:22,606 --> 00:42:26,337
- I won't discuss the holidays, you know.
- That's fine.
743
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:29,104
I've no interest in covering our past
in a glaze of nostalgia.
744
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,010
I accept your terms completely.
745
00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:35,579
Where does that leave us, then?
746
00:42:38,789 --> 00:42:41,223
What would you like to talk about?
