to see the man in charge.

00:00:17,784 --> 00:00:20,082
- Are you the lord here?
- He keeps saying "lord."
7
00:00:20,253 --> 00:00:21,720
I took it to mean "captain."
8
00:00:21,888 --> 00:00:23,822
Tom Gregson. Can I help you?
9
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:27,448
I am the knight. I was dubbed.
10
00:00:27,961 --> 00:00:31,988
- Now I am the knight.
- Okay.
11
00:00:32,465 --> 00:00:34,490
That's why I had to kill the queen.
12
00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:38,263
- You killed the queen?
MAN: It was my duty.
13
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:41,434
I had to kill her. I had to.
14
00:00:41,608 --> 00:00:42,632
- Gun!

- Hey! If you pick up that gun,

- this is gonna end fast and ugly.
MAN: I'm the knight.

00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,349
Holmes, stay back. Stay back.

00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:52,485
MAN: I was dubbed.
GREGSON: I'm ask one more time.
19
00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:54,347
Step away from that weapon.
20
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,879
- Can I try something?
- Try it fast.

00:01:01,361 --> 00:01:04,023

WALKER: This is an extremely
compelling story, Mr. Holmes,
27
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:22,545
but I asked
about the James Dylan case.
28
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:24,205
The incident you're describing
29
00:01:24,384 --> 00:01:26,284
is connected to the murder
or Rada Hollingsworth.
30
00:01:26,453 --> 00:01:30,253
Which is, in turn, inextricably linked
to the tale of James Dylan.
31
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:32,220
WALKER:
If you would answer the question...
32
00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:33,689
I am answering the question,
33
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:35,725
just more precisely
than you intended me to.
34
00:01:36,996 --> 00:01:41,160

without first understanding the other.

As I was saying...

00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:52,411
The scarf on your wrist,
38
00:01:52,579 --> 00:01:54,547
was it a favor from your lady?
39
00:01:54,714 --> 00:01:57,706
Yes. Belonged to my queen.
40
00:01:58,518 --> 00:02:00,952
Then it must be returned to her.
41
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:03,214
Knight's Code commands it, yeah?
42
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:06,756
You give it to me,
I'll have a squire bring it to her.

00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:11,888

MAN: No.
45
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:23,238
Knight's Code? What is that?
46
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:27,379
It's oral tradition.
The man's clearly schizophrenic,
47
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:29,913
but his delusions are based
on actual history.
48
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:32,711
In the Middle Ages, a knight
would wear a token from their beloved.
49
00:02:32,886 --> 00:02:36,617
Usually an article of clothing,
a scarf.
50
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:40,020
Any thoughts where the queen
who gave it to him might be?
51
00:02:40,193 --> 00:02:41,717
No, not just yet.
52
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:43,629
Give the man a minute, will you?

00:02:43,796 --> 00:02:46,526
He's a brave and brilliant instrument
of justice.

is stay out of his way,

JUDGE:
I got to throw a flag on the play.
57
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,100
Now, I've known Tommy Gregson
a long time.
58
00:02:58,278 --> 00:03:01,509
I'm guessing
he didn't actually say that.
59
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:03,911
He may have used different words
to make the same point.
60
00:03:04,083 --> 00:03:07,575
Mr. Holmes, do me a favor?
Spare us the flourishes.
61
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:09,688
You're under oath,
and that oath counts.
62
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:11,721
This is a real hearing
63
00:03:11,891 --> 00:03:14,359
- presided over by a real judge.
- Of course, Your Honor.
64
00:03:15,695 --> 00:03:18,630
It is an administrative hearing.
65
00:03:18,798 --> 00:03:22,131
This court represents
neither state nor federal law,
66
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:25,669
rather the dictates
of the police department of New York.
67
00:03:25,838 --> 00:03:29,968
So "real judge,"
while not technically inaccurate,
68
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:31,770
seems like an overstatement.
69
00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:33,772
JUDGE:
By all means,
70
00:03:33,947 --> 00:03:36,643
let's be 100 percent accurate.
71
00:03:36,816 --> 00:03:40,650
I do only represent
the police department of New York.
72
00:03:41,187 --> 00:03:43,178
We're here today
because you screwed up.
73
00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:46,548
And the N.Y.P.D.
Has empowered me,
74
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:49,388
as a technically real judge,
75
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:52,793
to determine the magnitude
of said screwup,
76
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:54,763
and to make a recommendation
77
00:03:54,934 --> 00:03:57,869
as to whether or not
you and your partner
78
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:00,904
can continue your relationship
with the city.
79
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:04,805
Now, is that accurate enough
for you?
80
00:04:39,512 --> 00:04:40,536
WALKER:
We're here today
81
00:04:40,713 --> 00:04:42,442
because of one particular breach
of protocol.
82
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:44,048
Alleged breach of protocol.
83
00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:46,742
Alleged breach of protocol.
84
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:50,685
I'm curious, though. Would you say
the incident is part of a larger pattern?
85
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:52,848
- Tommy.
GREGSON: Commissioner.
86
00:04:56,329 --> 00:04:57,523
So how about it, Mr. Holmes?
87
00:04:57,697 --> 00:04:59,892
Is this all part of a larger pattern?
88
00:05:00,066 --> 00:05:01,260
I'm sorry. I don't follow you.
89
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:04,926
Do you routinely break the law during
the course of your investigations?
90
00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:07,095
Uh, not that I recall, no.
91
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:09,537
WALKER:
So you've never broken the law?
92
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:13,036
Everyone breaks the law, Miss Walker.
Case in point.
93
00:05:13,212 --> 00:05:16,272
You've been precisely seven minutes
early for every meeting we've ever had.
94
00:05:16,616 --> 00:05:18,948
You arrange your notebooks
exactly the same way each day.
95
00:05:19,118 --> 00:05:20,551
You position a small photograph
96
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,746
of an 11th century bust so you can
look at it before you begin your work.
97
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:26,653
Are you suggesting that someone
as bound by routine such as yourself
98
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:28,521
has never crossed
against the traffic lights
99
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:30,560
in order to keep to a schedule?
100
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,630
I'm not talking
about that kind of law-breaking.
101
00:05:32,799 --> 00:05:35,927
So some degree of criminality
is acceptable,
102
00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:38,627
the rest
is just negotiating boundaries?
103
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:41,137
Answer the questions directly,
Mr. Holmes.
104
00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:45,243
If you won't do it out of respect
for this institution, do it for the officer
105
00:05:45,411 --> 00:05:47,504
who's in the hospital
because of what happened here.
106
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,911
I have never broken the law
in a manner Miss Walker suggests.
107
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:53,211
WALKER: We have statements
from several officers saying
108
00:05:53,386 --> 00:05:55,149
they have no idea
how you and your partner
109
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:58,779
get inside of so many private homes
and businesses when nobody's there.
110
00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:00,823
They all think you break in.
111
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:05,286
So you didn't pick the lock
on Victor Nardin's apartment?
112
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:09,566
You didn't break
into the McTierney Brothers Mortuary?
113
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:13,430
A couple of our officers even think
you've taught your partner how to do it.
114
00:06:13,606 --> 00:06:16,006
The officers who told you those things
are confused.
115
00:06:16,175 --> 00:06:18,336
WALKER: You're saying
you didn't enter those dwellings?
116
00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:22,038
Because you used evidence
from inside those places.
117
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:26,208
No. Miss Watson and I entered
those locations, just not illegally.
118
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:29,287
I'm not sure I understand.
119
00:06:29,989 --> 00:06:33,447
It was quite some time ago,
but if I remember correctly,
120
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:35,787
on most of those occasions,
the doors were open.
121
00:06:35,962 --> 00:06:38,522
In New York City?
The front doors were open?
122
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:40,859
Not just unlocked,
but actually open?
123
00:06:41,501 --> 00:06:42,866
I was surprised as well.
124
00:06:44,203 --> 00:06:47,036
In several other instances,
we thought we heard cries for help.
125
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:49,640
They turned out to be televisions
with the volume turned up.
126
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:52,876
WALKER: So there's an epidemic
of people leaving their TVs on?
127
00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:56,503
Once we mistook the cries
of a small puppy for a baby in distress.
128
00:06:57,950 --> 00:07:00,544
Your Honor, allow me
to register my skepticism.
129
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,314
Registered,
but unless you've got a witness
130
00:07:03,489 --> 00:07:06,049
who can contradict
Mr. Holmes' testimony...
131
00:07:06,225 --> 00:07:08,716
How could she? Miss Watson and I
were the only ones present.
132
00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:10,590
I'll be asking Miss Watson
what happened.
133
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:12,993
Excellent.
That should clear things up.
134
00:07:13,299 --> 00:07:18,760
So someone walked
into the 11th precinct with a shotgun.
135
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:21,498
This has something to do
with the James Dylan incident...
136
00:07:21,674 --> 00:07:24,871
No, it has everything to do with it.
Having disarmed the knight,
137
00:07:25,044 --> 00:07:27,740
we turned our attention
to establishing his identity,
138
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:29,541
and that of the queen.
139
00:07:29,715 --> 00:07:33,082
Does anyone ever call you anything
besides "the knight"?
140
00:07:33,619 --> 00:07:36,986
It was my duty to kill the queen.
141
00:07:37,690 --> 00:07:40,124
I was summoned to her lair
142
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,057
and told that only in death
143
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:45,026
would her soul be saved
from the demons.
144
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:50,064
This lair,
do you have any idea where it is?
145
00:07:50,236 --> 00:07:52,864
It was my sworn duty.
146
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:54,404
WATSON:
This is going nowhere.
147
00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:57,271
He's schizophrenic
in the middle of a psychotic episode.
148
00:07:57,443 --> 00:07:59,104
It's gonna be days
and a lot of Risperidone
149
00:07:59,278 --> 00:08:00,643
before he starts making sense.
150
00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:03,111
Not a time frame
that bodes well for the queen,
151
00:08:03,549 --> 00:08:06,313
on the off chance she is still alive.
152
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:09,377
Well, there's blood in the treads
of his boots.
153
00:08:09,555 --> 00:08:10,988
Probably hers.
154
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:13,917
Two receipts,
both for early-morning coffee runs.
155
00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:17,460
One at 6:27 a.m., one at 6:36,
both from the same bodega
156
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:20,098
on West 20th and Fifth Avenue.
157
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:22,359
WATSON: Well, maybe he lives
in the Flatiron District.
158
00:08:22,535 --> 00:08:24,628
Along with hundreds of thousands
of other people.
159
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:28,163
Only one of them
is named Silas Cole.
160
00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:33,004
I texted his picture to a friend of mine
who works the psych ER at Sanbridge.
161
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:36,580
- She recognized him.
SILAS: I set her free.
162
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:39,013
Captain, the man's name is Silas Cole.
163
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:42,586
He lives in the Flatiron District. We'll
have an address for you momentarily.
164
00:08:42,755 --> 00:08:45,349
GREGSON:
All right. I'll get a warrant for his place.
165
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:51,461
BELL: This does not fill me
with optimism for the queen.
166
00:08:51,631 --> 00:08:55,123
WATSON: Well, the figure on the right
is obviously Silas,
167
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:58,668
which would suggest
the queen is a real person as well.
168
00:08:58,838 --> 00:09:01,136
Yeah, but how do we know for sure
that's the queen?
169
00:09:01,807 --> 00:09:03,672
I mean, I don't see any crown.
170
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:07,279
In the Middle Ages, only royalty were
allowed to wear purple and ermine.
171
00:09:07,446 --> 00:09:10,779
That is most certainly Silas' queen.
172
00:09:11,183 --> 00:09:14,016
And he did rather a good job
with the likeness.
173
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:19,091
Oh, so she was his girlfriend.
174
00:09:19,258 --> 00:09:22,318
Seriously? That guy is in no shape
to be dating anyone.
175
00:09:22,495 --> 00:09:25,293
Well, you don't know
what he was like on his meds.
176
00:09:25,464 --> 00:09:26,863
Silas and his queen were together
177
00:09:27,033 --> 00:09:29,558
till about six months ago,
I would venture.
178
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:32,260
These photographs,
all taken over the last three years.
179
00:09:32,438 --> 00:09:34,998
There are none from last summer.
180
00:09:36,342 --> 00:09:38,902
WATSON: Maybe she's the one
who broke up with him.
181
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,170
Hey, look at this necklace.
182
00:09:40,947 --> 00:09:42,812
Maybe he gave it to her as a gift.
183
00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:45,177
She gave it back to him
when they broke up.
184
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:47,683
Her name starts with an R.
185
00:09:47,853 --> 00:09:49,878
BELL: There's a whole stack
of fashion magazines here,
186
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:51,853
last year's issue...
187
00:09:53,292 --> 00:09:56,784
Subscription mailing label's
addressed to Rada Hollingsworth.
188
00:09:56,963 --> 00:09:59,830
- She lives on 23rd.
WALKER: So Detective Bell
189
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:04,026
was actually the one who identified
Miss Hollingsworth as the queen.
190
00:10:04,203 --> 00:10:06,899
A substantial contribution to the case,
wouldn't you say?
191
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,364
Yes.
192
00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:10,668
One of many he's made
during our work together.
193
00:10:10,843 --> 00:10:14,904
Sounds like you regard him
as a real asset to the department.
194
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:18,346
Detective Bell is several standard
deviations above the norm.
195
00:10:18,517 --> 00:10:20,508
I've always regarded him as such.
196
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,356
Your affection for the man
really shines through.
197
00:10:24,523 --> 00:10:25,922
According to your deposition,
198
00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:28,720
when you got to Rada Hollingsworth's
apartment,
199
00:10:28,894 --> 00:10:30,794
the door was wide open.
200
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:32,089
That's correct.
201
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:34,964
It was.
202
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:36,192
BELL:
Miss Hollingsworth?
203
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:41,366
Miss Hollingsworth?
204
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:56,350
BELL:
In here.
205
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:07,958
Looks like she's been dead
for a couple of hours.
206
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:11,369
These must be Silas' boot prints.
207
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:17,274
All right, I'm gonna call the station.
Tell them to book Cole.
208
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:18,967
Don't.
209
00:11:19,612 --> 00:11:22,638
You know, I'm not convinced
that Silas Cole killed this woman.
210
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:25,978
Sorry.
Silas Cole walked into the station
211
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:28,313
holding a shotgun and confessed.
212
00:11:28,487 --> 00:11:30,614
You were standing there
looking at his footprints,
213
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:34,089
and your first thought was,
he didn't kill Rada Hollingsworth?
214
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:38,161
Not my first thought. I tend
to have thoughts in rapid succession.
215
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:40,866
She'd been shot in the chest,
rib cage.
216
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:44,332
Her heart
had essentially been obliterated.
217
00:11:44,503 --> 00:11:46,767
The knight wouldn't do that.
218
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:51,172
Silas Cole said he killed her
in order to save her soul.
219
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:54,176
In the Middle Ages, the heart was not
just a symbol of romantic love.
220
00:11:54,346 --> 00:11:57,543
It was the vessel for the soul.
221
00:11:57,883 --> 00:12:01,649
So for him to shoot her in her heart,
in the universe of his delusions,
222
00:12:01,821 --> 00:12:04,790
he would be sentencing her
to eternal damnation.
223
00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:06,855
He wouldn't do that. He loved her.
224
00:12:07,026 --> 00:12:08,425
And the confession?
225
00:12:08,594 --> 00:12:10,391
The footprints?
226
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:13,589
Silas Cole was acting
in diminished capacity.
227
00:12:13,766 --> 00:12:16,064
He may have believed
he was responsible, even if he wasn't.
228
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:19,136
As to the footprints, there's no
question that he was in the apartment.
229
00:12:19,305 --> 00:12:21,296
I just don't believe
he pulled the trigger.
230
00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:24,068
Which means, of course,
someone else did.
231
00:12:27,513 --> 00:12:29,174
Your Honor,
Miss Watson is scheduled
232
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:31,213
to testify at this hearing.
She can't be here.
233
00:12:31,383 --> 00:12:33,908
Excuse me. I have an important
message for Captain Gregson.
234
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:36,680
His phone is off.
I would not interrupt otherwise.
235
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:38,647
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
236
00:12:39,358 --> 00:12:41,485
- What's going on?
JUDGE: Mr. Holmes,
237
00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:44,151
while you're on the stand
in my courtroom,
238
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:47,663
you will limit yourself to testimony
relevant to this case.
239
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:50,000
Do you understand?
240
00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:51,500
Yep.
241
00:12:52,671 --> 00:12:54,639
Thanks for texting, Gretchen.
What happened?
242
00:12:54,807 --> 00:12:56,570
While I was repairing
the abdominal wall,
243
00:12:56,742 --> 00:12:59,575
a blood clot formed
in the left ventricle.
244
00:12:59,745 --> 00:13:01,736
I thought this was supposed
to be routine surgery.
245
00:13:01,914 --> 00:13:04,178
We thought he was out of the woods
a few days ago too.
246
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:05,476
No such thing as routine
247
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:07,642
when you're recovering
from a gunshot to abdomen.
248
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:09,048
What happened with the clot?
249
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:11,246
It got wedged
in his right subclavian artery.
250
00:13:11,423 --> 00:13:14,085
Obstructed the blood flow to his arm
for about 30 minutes.
251
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,458
WATSON:
So, what's the prognosis?
252
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:17,755
DOCTOR:
He might be fine.
253
00:13:18,264 --> 00:13:19,754
Or?
254
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:24,392
Or he may never regain
full use of the limb.
255
00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:26,568
He's in recovery.
256
00:13:38,117 --> 00:13:40,085
Tell me again
257
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:43,647
why they wait until five days after
he got shot to perform the operation.
258
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:47,054
They leave abdominal wounds open
for a while. It helps reduce infection.
259
00:13:47,226 --> 00:13:49,456
It's absolutely standard procedure.
260
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,989
The timeline has nothing to do
with the clot.
261
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:55,600
He was still unconscious when I left.
They'll know more once he wakes up.
262
00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:59,337
I'm gonna go back to the hospital.
You should come when this is over.
263
00:14:00,539 --> 00:14:03,064
You haven't visited Bell once
since he was shot.
264
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:06,238
OFFICER: You asked me to grab
you when we're headed back in.
265
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:09,308
- Thank you for the news.
GREGSON: Hey.
266
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:12,749
Wide-open doors? Puppies?
267
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:14,681
I'm saying what I need
to get us back to work.
268
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,981
Well, it's not just what you say.
It's how you say it.
269
00:14:17,656 --> 00:14:20,386
You can hate what's going on in there.
You can think it's beneath you.
270
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:22,459
But if the judge knows
that you think that,
271
00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:24,095
how is that good for you?
272
00:14:26,298 --> 00:14:27,595
Be nice.
273
00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:30,299
It's the smart play.
274
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,288
Did you put this on my desk?
275
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:56,720
"At the head of all understanding
is realizing what is and what cannot be
276
00:14:56,896 --> 00:15:00,297
and the consoling
of what is not in our power to change."
277
00:15:00,966 --> 00:15:02,957
It's a lovely sentiment.
278
00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:08,095
First expressed by the 11th century
poet Solomon ben Judah.
279
00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:10,507
But you know that
because you've got a photograph
280
00:15:10,676 --> 00:15:12,667
of ben Judah's bust
on your day planner.
281
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:16,074
- So?
- Well, the saying is thought to be
282
00:15:16,248 --> 00:15:19,046
an early derivation
of the Serenity Prayer,
283
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:20,242
which is commonly recited
284
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:24,321
by recovering alcoholics
and drug addicts.
285
00:15:25,624 --> 00:15:30,220
Is that why you keep the photograph?
As a gentle reminder of the prayer?
286
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:33,562
Is this some kind of threat?
287
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,867
No.
288
00:15:36,802 --> 00:15:38,064
No, there's nothing on earth
289
00:15:38,237 --> 00:15:41,297
that would make me reveal a secret
of that nature.
290
00:15:42,975 --> 00:15:47,776
It's just a tip of the cap, you know?
291
00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:51,509
From one obsessive to another.
292
00:15:52,918 --> 00:15:54,852
Just an acknowledgment
that the world we live in
293
00:15:55,020 --> 00:15:56,351
is so often too complicated
294
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:59,252
for the rules we make
to keep it orderly.
295
00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:05,329
JUDGE:
Miss Walker, ready when you are.
296
00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:13,035
You heard about Marcus Bell's
complications, I take it.
297
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:17,200
Yes, of course.
298
00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:21,039
WALKER: I'm told they may have
long-term implications for his career.
299
00:16:21,213 --> 00:16:23,738
In that light,
I was wondering if you feel any regret
300
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:25,474
about your methods in this case.
301
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:28,313
This is a courtroom, Miss Walker,
not a confessional.
302
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:30,621
Fair enough.
303
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:34,225
Let's turn back to
the Rada Hollingsworth investigation.
304
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:37,394
Yes, well, Captain Gregson
did not agree with my assessment
305
00:16:37,563 --> 00:16:39,463
that Silas Cole
was innocent of her murder,
306
00:16:39,631 --> 00:16:42,191
so Miss Watson and I
explored other avenues on our own.
307
00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:46,896
Ex-lovers, colleagues, a neighbor
with designs on Rada's apartment.
308
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:48,596
All of those, dead ends.
309
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:51,902
But in the course
of exploring Rada's life,
310
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:53,908
we learned
that she was seeing an oncologist
311
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:55,478
named Dr. Phineas Hobbs.
312
00:16:55,981 --> 00:16:58,814
When had Miss Hollingsworth
been diagnosed with cancer?
313
00:16:58,984 --> 00:17:00,975
Seven months prior to her murder.
314
00:17:01,153 --> 00:17:03,314
Dr. Hobbs was administering
a stage one drug trial
315
00:17:03,489 --> 00:17:04,581
which Rada was enrolled in.
316
00:17:04,757 --> 00:17:06,622
HOBBS: I'm sorry.
Rada didn't say anything to me
317
00:17:06,792 --> 00:17:09,989
about where she planned to go
when she left my office.
318
00:17:10,162 --> 00:17:13,427
We tended to talk mostly
about her diagnosis.
319
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:14,657
I'm sure you understand.
320
00:17:16,301 --> 00:17:17,996
She was really responding
to the medication.
321
00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:19,501
It was beautiful to watch.
322
00:17:19,671 --> 00:17:22,196
I thought she might even go
into remission.
323
00:17:22,474 --> 00:17:26,570
But, uh, I guess her ex-boyfriend
had other ideas.
324
00:17:26,745 --> 00:17:28,838
Rada told you about her relationship
with Silas?
325
00:17:29,014 --> 00:17:33,451
Yes, she mentioned that her
former boyfriend was schizophrenic.
326
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:36,383
She'd ask me for advice about it
sometimes.
327
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,890
I really had no idea
how sick the man was
328
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:44,359
until he showed up here about a week
and a half before she died.
329
00:17:45,164 --> 00:17:48,827
He was ranting.
I thought about pursuing a committal.
330
00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:51,700
I should have. Obviously.
331
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:54,361
Drug trials like yours are expensive,
are they not?
332
00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:55,871
Rarely covered by insurance.
333
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,039
Rada Hollingsworth was a teacher.
334
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:02,305
Have you any sense
as to how she paid for the study?
335
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:04,381
I know exactly how she paid for it.
336
00:18:04,550 --> 00:18:07,451
She cashed in her life insurance
for a viatical settlement.
337
00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:11,316
A viatical settlement is a repugnant,
predatory arrangement
338
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:13,856
whereby a terminally ill patient
339
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:16,517
signs away
their future life insurance payment
340
00:18:16,695 --> 00:18:18,663
in exchange
for a monthly cash advance.
341
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:22,000
The company or individual
making those payments
342
00:18:22,167 --> 00:18:24,192
is essentially betting
that their client will die
343
00:18:24,369 --> 00:18:28,135
before the payments
surpass the value of the policy.
344
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:31,765
In Miss Hollingsworth's case,
the vulture circling overhead
345
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:36,677
was an employee of a company
called Helping Hands Viaticals.
346
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:40,250
That man's name was James Dylan.
347
00:18:40,419 --> 00:18:42,011
HOLMES:
The equation seems simple enough.
348
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:44,212
The longer she lived,
the less profit for you.
349
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:46,823
In fact, according to the terms
of employment of this place,
350
00:18:46,992 --> 00:18:48,050
if she outlives
351
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:50,889
the value of her life insurance,
money comes out of your pocket.
352
00:18:51,063 --> 00:18:53,896
So it seems like you would have
incentive to want her gone.
353
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:56,034
Yeah, well, that doesn't mean
I killed her.
354
00:18:56,201 --> 00:18:57,668
So where were you
the night she died?
355
00:18:57,836 --> 00:19:00,703
Look, if you wanna talk about this,
we can go somewhere else.
356
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:02,807
If you're gonna grill me,
I want a lawyer there.
357
00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:06,377
Right now, we got new leads in
from a nursing home,
358
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:08,775
and I got to hit the phones.
359
00:19:09,515 --> 00:19:12,575
This place is a miserable warren
of cynicism and despair.
360
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:15,317
You'd think they'd have a hard time
holding on to employees.
361
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:17,352
And yet the cubicles are full.
362
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:19,858
Some of your colleagues
have diplomas on display.
363
00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:21,185
So it seems in this economy,
364
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,954
your employers have no trouble
in attracting the overqualified.
365
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:25,289
Yeah. So?
366
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:26,522
So I was wondering
367
00:19:26,698 --> 00:19:29,428
if they know that you're a convicted
felon who's spent time in prison.
368
00:19:30,469 --> 00:19:31,629
Who told you that?
369
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:34,033
Seems like a fair question.
370
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:37,300
How did you learn
about Mr. Dylan's criminal record?
371
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:40,639
When I learned that James Dylan had
sold Rada Hollingsworth her viatical,
372
00:19:40,812 --> 00:19:43,280
I did some cursory research
into his background,
373
00:19:43,448 --> 00:19:47,077
research his employers
had apparently neglected to do.
374
00:19:47,252 --> 00:19:49,345
That's the beauty of the Internet.
375
00:19:49,521 --> 00:19:51,045
Twenty-four seven access
to everything
376
00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:54,249
from twerking kittens
to criminal records.
377
00:19:54,426 --> 00:19:57,953
Mr. Dylan stated in a deposition
given from his hospital bed
378
00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:00,257
that you discovered that information
from his phone,
379
00:20:00,432 --> 00:20:02,024
which you accessed
without a warrant.
380
00:20:03,502 --> 00:20:06,164
Would it surprise you to learn
that James Dylan is lying?
381
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:08,230
Not necessarily.
382
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:13,140
But you do tend to attract people
who lie about your illegal behavior.
383
00:20:13,312 --> 00:20:14,973
Who told you that?
384
00:20:15,147 --> 00:20:16,774
Why, you did.
385
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:18,143
That's my phone.
386
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:20,877
According to your calls,
you regularly contact the same number
387
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,146
several times a week.
It has a 477 prefix.
388
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:25,885
That's the same as our precinct.
It's a municipal number.
389
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:27,491
- You stole this.
HOLMES: Calendar says
390
00:20:27,659 --> 00:20:29,354
you have recurring commitment
every Tuesday.
391
00:20:29,528 --> 00:20:32,122
No heading on that so my first thought
was weekly Brazilian,
392
00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:34,231
but then I noticed the address
of the rendezvous.
393
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:36,731
It's 202 Broadway,
which, as it turns out,
394
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:38,733
is the New York State
Division of Parole.
395
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:40,098
Okay.
396
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:42,907
Let's take this outside.
397
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:45,600
On the night that Rada Hollingsworth
was murdered,
398
00:20:45,777 --> 00:20:50,771
I was having a drink at Sharkey's
on Gansevoort Street.
399
00:20:50,949 --> 00:20:53,076
Your presence in a bar
is a violation of your parole.
400
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:56,050
Yeah, I got sent upstate
after a bar fight.
401
00:20:56,221 --> 00:20:58,849
I got out of control
and I broke this guy's legs.
402
00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:02,187
So on the particular night
that you're asking about, okay,
403
00:21:02,361 --> 00:21:03,794
I had had a lousy day at work.
404
00:21:03,962 --> 00:21:06,192
I mean, whatever,
they're all lousy, actually,
405
00:21:06,365 --> 00:21:09,391
but on this particular day, I just felt
like having drinks with a friend.
406
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:11,826
Okay, there's at least a dozen people
who can vouch.
407
00:21:12,004 --> 00:21:14,199
I was nowhere
near Rada Hollingsworth.
408
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:15,704
We're gonna need names
and numbers.
409
00:21:15,874 --> 00:21:19,469
Okay, fine.
But please, don't tell my parole officer.
410
00:21:19,645 --> 00:21:23,445
James Dylan's associates confirmed
that he had indeed been drinking
411
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:25,583
at the time Rada Hollingsworth
was killed,
412
00:21:25,751 --> 00:21:27,582
so he was no longer a suspect.
413
00:21:27,986 --> 00:21:31,854
You are aware, of course, that
it's a crime to steal private property?
414
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,020
I stole no property.
415
00:21:34,192 --> 00:21:36,251
Nor did I call James Dylan's
parole officer.
416
00:21:37,062 --> 00:21:40,122
So our investigation
was back to square one.
417
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,859
Usually, this means a distraction
of some sort is called for.
418
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:48,195
Interesting.
419
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:51,238
WATSON:
Hey, you never came down to eat.
420
00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:52,809
I had extra.
421
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:57,479
- What gives?
- Science,
422
00:21:57,649 --> 00:21:59,241
the most potent distraction of all.
423
00:22:00,952 --> 00:22:04,046
Hey, I've been looking for that.
424
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:07,057
Um, and what are you trying
to distract yourself from?
425
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:10,485
Silas Cole said he was summoned
to Rada Hollingsworth's apartment,
426
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:12,721
which makes me think
the killer did the summoning.
427
00:22:12,898 --> 00:22:14,490
Indeed, Silas received a phone call
428
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,964
from a disposable cell phone
at 8:40 p.m.
429
00:22:17,569 --> 00:22:19,332
WATSON:
Eight forty. That doesn't track.
430
00:22:19,504 --> 00:22:22,632
Rada's neighbor thought she heard
a truck backfiring at 7:35.
431
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:24,776
That had to be the shotgun blast
that killed her,
432
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:26,376
so why would you kill Rada at 7:35,
433
00:22:26,545 --> 00:22:29,480
then wait over an hour
before calling Silas to the scene?
434
00:22:29,648 --> 00:22:31,138
Why, indeed.
435
00:22:31,316 --> 00:22:34,308
I've been considering
Rada's autopsy.
436
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:37,784
Her blood potassium levels were 22.4.
That's quite high, isn't it?
437
00:22:37,956 --> 00:22:39,685
Not for a body
a few hours postmortem.
438
00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:42,759
After you die, your cells start leaking
potassium into the bloodstream.
439
00:22:42,928 --> 00:22:45,692
So the longer you've been dead,
the higher your potassium level.
440
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:48,230
Of course, if you killed Rada,
441
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,300
then waited an hour
before calling Silas,
442
00:22:50,469 --> 00:22:53,461
it could be because you wanted
the potassium in her blood to build up.
443
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:55,370
What would be the purpose of that?
444
00:22:55,774 --> 00:22:59,175
I don't know. To conceal
an already-elevated potassium level?
445
00:22:59,511 --> 00:23:02,503
Potassium chloride is an extremely
effective way of killing someone.
446
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:05,741
It does the heavy lifting at most of
your state-sanctioned lethal injections.
447
00:23:05,917 --> 00:23:08,317
It sounds crazy,
but it would explain the time gap.
448
00:23:08,487 --> 00:23:11,012
And it would be easy enough for us
to figure out if we're right.
449
00:23:11,189 --> 00:23:12,781
We test the vitreous fluid
in her eyes.
450
00:23:12,958 --> 00:23:15,222
It's not subject
to the postmortem potassium buildup.
451
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:17,487
HOLMES:
Of course, it wasn't crazy at all.
452
00:23:17,662 --> 00:23:20,631
The tests confirmed
what Watson and I had suspected.
453
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:25,532
Rada Hollingsworth was killed with
an overdose of potassium chloride.
454
00:23:25,704 --> 00:23:28,332
This discovery
exonerated Silas Cole,
455
00:23:28,507 --> 00:23:32,500
who we had confirmed
was legitimately delusional.
456
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:34,907
The murder was clearly the result
of careful planning,
457
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,210
and he was in no fit state
to carry out such methodical work.
458
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:41,213
You're smiling.
459
00:23:41,386 --> 00:23:45,152
That is the first time you have been
anything but irritated since we started.
460
00:23:45,557 --> 00:23:47,422
Well, an innocent man was freed.
461
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:49,787
And what, in your opinion,
does this have to do
462
00:23:49,961 --> 00:23:51,588
with what happened
to Detective Bell?
463
00:23:52,964 --> 00:23:54,693
[SIGHS]
464
00:23:56,601 --> 00:24:01,038
Whether one believes that I have
occasionally broken the rules or not,
465
00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:03,637
you cannot evaluate the work
that Watson and I do
466
00:24:03,809 --> 00:24:07,802
without considering the good
that so often comes of it.
467
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:12,516
Whatever happened later,
it matters that a mentally ill citizen
468
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:16,120
is not unjustly imprisoned
at the moment.
469
00:24:16,688 --> 00:24:19,054
It has to matter, to all of us.
470
00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:24,460
Or we might as well just dissolve
this institution and start again.
471
00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:28,426
This is just one instance.
There are many, many others.
472
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,067
All of which, by the way,
473
00:24:30,235 --> 00:24:34,831
my partner and I donate free of charge
to the city of New York, so...
474
00:24:37,175 --> 00:24:40,076
I hardly think this proceeding is
the appropriate response to our work.
475
00:24:40,245 --> 00:24:42,213
And what is
the appropriate response?
476
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:44,381
"Thank you" would be nice.
477
00:24:47,552 --> 00:24:50,282
I'll make sure Marcus Bell
gets that message.
478
00:24:59,798 --> 00:25:00,992
WATSON:
Well, Bell's stable.
479
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:03,566
They've decided to keep him sedated
overnight.
480
00:25:03,735 --> 00:25:05,532
Less stress on his system.
481
00:25:05,704 --> 00:25:07,604
And you're making
Yorkshire pudding.
482
00:25:08,106 --> 00:25:09,130
Well spotted, Watson.
483
00:25:09,307 --> 00:25:12,003
Most Americans mistake them
for muffins.
484
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:14,575
When I was younger,
our governess would enlist my help
485
00:25:14,746 --> 00:25:15,838
in making Yorkshire pudding.
486
00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:19,472
And ever since then, I've found
making them to have a calming effect.
487
00:25:19,651 --> 00:25:21,949
Yeah, Gregson told me
about the hearing. What...?
488
00:25:23,488 --> 00:25:27,185
I enjoy making Yorkshire pudding.
Not eating it. It is absolutely revolting.
489
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,951
I could dig you one out if you'd like.
490
00:25:29,127 --> 00:25:30,651
I'm good. Thanks for asking.
491
00:25:30,829 --> 00:25:32,626
After you threw them away.
492
00:25:33,665 --> 00:25:34,825
Oh, you're upset with me.
493
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,934
You know, for a genius,
you can be a real nimrod.
494
00:25:37,102 --> 00:25:38,967
You know that I have
to testify tomorrow, right?
495
00:25:39,137 --> 00:25:41,071
Which means I get to lie under oath
about puppies
496
00:25:41,239 --> 00:25:42,536
and wide-open doors and...
497
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:44,971
If we stick to our story,
there's nothing they can do.
498
00:25:45,143 --> 00:25:47,043
If you bothered to come up
with a better story,
499
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,009
it wouldn't be so obvious
that we were lying.
500
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:50,807
You're practically daring them
to fire us.
501
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:53,473
You think I'm letting my ego
pay too big a role in this affair?
502
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:55,119
This is not about your ego.
503
00:25:55,287 --> 00:25:57,778
I know we color outside the lines,
but this time, Bell got shot.
504
00:25:57,956 --> 00:25:59,947
Doesn't that give you pause
about how we do our jobs?
505
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:02,855
- No.
- Why not?
506
00:26:03,028 --> 00:26:04,552
Why do we get to be
above the rules?
507
00:26:04,729 --> 00:26:06,526
Because our methods work.
508
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:09,262
I'm comfortable that our actions
are guided by a morality
509
00:26:09,434 --> 00:26:12,926
which supersedes
any clumsy employee manual.
510
00:26:13,104 --> 00:26:15,163
The danger with rule books
is they offer the illusion
511
00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:17,331
that leading a moral life
is a simple undertaking,
512
00:26:17,509 --> 00:26:19,636
that the world exists
in black and white.
513
00:26:20,011 --> 00:26:22,411
Welcome to the grays.
514
00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:25,241
WALKER:
Miss Watson,
515
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:27,385
you and your partner
have often found yourselves
516
00:26:27,552 --> 00:26:31,579
inside of crime scenes and other
places of interest ahead of the police,
517
00:26:31,756 --> 00:26:33,417
ahead of any kind of warrant.
518
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:35,423
Would you say
that's a fair assessment?
519
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,391
I'd say it's happened on occasion.
520
00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:39,053
WALKER:
How?
521
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:42,256
We've encountered
an unusual number of open doors.
522
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:43,833
WALKER:
Open doors.
523
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:45,964
I see.
524
00:26:46,371 --> 00:26:49,033
Did you ever break into a place
to help out a puppy?
525
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:50,640
Once.
526
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:53,903
Although we didn't realize it was
a puppy until after we were inside.
527
00:26:54,245 --> 00:26:56,338
And how did you and your partner
learn
528
00:26:56,514 --> 00:26:58,448
about Mr. Dylan's criminal record?
529
00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:02,019
We looked into his background
while we were waiting to talk to him.
530
00:27:02,187 --> 00:27:03,245
WALKER:
Neither of you stole
531
00:27:03,421 --> 00:27:05,321
- Mr. Dylan's cell phone?
- No.
532
00:27:05,490 --> 00:27:08,516
So you are committed
to the same version of events
533
00:27:08,693 --> 00:27:10,684
as your partner?
534
00:27:11,563 --> 00:27:12,655
No further questions.
535
00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:14,799
Actually, I'd like to ask
a few questions.
536
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:17,398
JUDGE: You want to cross-examine
your own partner?
537
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:19,901
I am within my rights.
I'm acting as my own counsel.
538
00:27:20,205 --> 00:27:21,695
Yeah. Yeah.
539
00:27:21,873 --> 00:27:24,034
I'll be as brief as I can, Your Honor.
540
00:27:24,676 --> 00:27:25,734
Um, ahem.
541
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:28,708
After you and your partner... Should
I refer to myself as your partner
542
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,404
or refer to myself in the first person?
543
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:33,579
- Doesn't matter.
- Great.
544
00:27:33,752 --> 00:27:36,915
After you and your partner
freed Silas Cole,
545
00:27:37,088 --> 00:27:39,955
how did you go
about finding the real killer?
546
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:42,816
Rada Hollingsworth died
of a potassium overdose.
547
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:45,292
Potassium chloride is something
that you can get online,
548
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:48,057
but to use it
in the way that the killer did,
549
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:51,168
you had to understand
the biochemistry of dying tissue.
550
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:54,635
That's why the killer waited
over an hour before calling Silas Cole.
551
00:27:54,906 --> 00:27:56,635
That suggested we were looking
for someone
552
00:27:56,808 --> 00:27:58,036
with a medical background.
553
00:27:58,209 --> 00:28:00,609
Hmm. Rada Hollingsworth,
she was a cancer patient.
554
00:28:00,779 --> 00:28:04,681
She was attended by a virtual platoon
of medical professionals.
555
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:06,180
Are you saying all were suspects?
556
00:28:06,584 --> 00:28:09,417
I'm saying that, when we started
looking, none of them were.
557
00:28:09,587 --> 00:28:11,851
We didn't have a motive,
so we went to the morgue.
558
00:28:12,323 --> 00:28:14,154
You examined
Rada Hollingsworth's body
559
00:28:14,325 --> 00:28:16,486
in an effort to find
an investigative bread crumb.
560
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:19,789
Yes. But I should say "body"
561
00:28:19,964 --> 00:28:23,525
isn't really a 100 percent accurate way
of putting it.
562
00:28:24,936 --> 00:28:29,168
WATSON: The remains of
Rada Hollingsworth's internal organs.
563
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:31,604
Shredded by buckshot.
564
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:34,641
Then dissected by the ME.
565
00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:37,873
Then divvied up, organ by organ,
into their own bags.
566
00:28:38,049 --> 00:28:40,176
This is gonna get messy.
567
00:28:40,351 --> 00:28:41,716
Shall we unpack?
568
00:28:43,621 --> 00:28:46,021
Do you really want me
to describe everything in the bags?
569
00:28:46,191 --> 00:28:48,421
Well, why don't you just skip
to the good bit?
570
00:28:48,593 --> 00:28:51,528
Nothing unusual with the liver.
571
00:28:51,696 --> 00:28:55,496
Her heart, pretty much
just a bunch of muscle fiber.
572
00:28:57,535 --> 00:29:00,026
The killer must have put
the shotgun barrel right over it.
573
00:29:00,672 --> 00:29:02,537
Now, do we think
that this was by chance,
574
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:06,302
or was the obliteration
of the heart intentional?
575
00:29:06,478 --> 00:29:08,946
It seems like overkill, literally.
I mean, she was already dead
576
00:29:09,114 --> 00:29:10,775
from the potassium.
577
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:13,850
You'd destroy the heart if you were
looking to conceal something about it.
578
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:15,110
Mm.
579
00:29:15,286 --> 00:29:18,744
And how would we determine whether
the tissue was healthy when she died?
580
00:29:19,657 --> 00:29:23,252
Well, that's what microscopes are for.
Hand me that box of slides.
581
00:29:25,964 --> 00:29:29,525
Rada's cardiac tissue showed
clear signs of dilated cardiomyopathy.
582
00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:31,159
Her heart was enlarged.
583
00:29:32,003 --> 00:29:35,200
She would have started to feel
symptoms of congestive heart failure.
584
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:38,206
Could her enlarged heart
have been a result of her cancer?
585
00:29:38,376 --> 00:29:40,810
Not directly.
And everything in her records
586
00:29:40,979 --> 00:29:43,004
looked normal
from a few months previous.
587
00:29:43,381 --> 00:29:45,781
What, then do you think
caused the change?
588
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:47,884
Well, it's not unusual for it
to be a side effect
589
00:29:48,052 --> 00:29:49,644
of certain chemotherapy drugs,
590
00:29:49,821 --> 00:29:51,345
especially
more aggressive treatments.
591
00:29:51,523 --> 00:29:53,753
Treatments
such as the ones Rada was receiving
592
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:56,257
on the drug trial run
by Dr. Phineas Hobbs?
593
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:57,689
WATSON:
Drug was in stage one trials.
594
00:29:57,862 --> 00:30:01,354
Typically, an experimental drug
becomes hugely profitable
595
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:02,966
once it gets to stage two.
596
00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:04,931
We're talking millions of dollars
597
00:30:05,103 --> 00:30:07,037
that wouldn't have made it
into Dr. Hobbs' pockets
598
00:30:07,205 --> 00:30:08,968
if anyone learned
about Rada's condition.
599
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:10,903
So in other words, there,
600
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:14,067
buried within that bag
of posthumous slop, you found...
601
00:30:14,245 --> 00:30:15,405
A motive.
602
00:30:15,580 --> 00:30:18,071
I'm sorry. You told me
you had a few follow-up questions.
603
00:30:18,249 --> 00:30:19,739
It sounds like I'm a suspect.
604
00:30:19,918 --> 00:30:21,715
You most assuredly are.
605
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,884
Well, then I'm getting a lawyer.
606
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:26,887
Aah! What the hell are you doing?
607
00:30:27,058 --> 00:30:29,083
Hurts quite a bit?
I bet you've got a nasty bruise.
608
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:31,285
Shotguns. If you don't know
how to brace properly,
609
00:30:31,462 --> 00:30:32,486
the kickback will get you.
610
00:30:33,631 --> 00:30:35,599
I hurt myself playing squash.
611
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:38,634
Once you dispatched Rada,
it was time to put your patsy in play.
612
00:30:38,803 --> 00:30:39,997
Well aware of Silas' delusions,
613
00:30:40,171 --> 00:30:42,036
you telephoned him
to come to the crime scene.
614
00:30:42,207 --> 00:30:43,970
We think you convinced him
he killed Rada.
615
00:30:44,142 --> 00:30:46,975
Then you gave him the gun, shoved
some shotgun shells in his pocket,
616
00:30:47,145 --> 00:30:48,544
and then sent him on his way.
617
00:30:48,713 --> 00:30:50,078
You thought he'd get gunned down.
618
00:30:50,248 --> 00:30:52,273
- You were covered.
- At least you thought you were.
619
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:54,441
Shotgun didn't just kick back
into your shoulder.
620
00:30:54,619 --> 00:30:57,144
The trigger caught your finger.
Opened up a nasty little cut.
621
00:30:58,189 --> 00:30:59,656
BELL:
Not the kind of thing you'd notice
622
00:30:59,824 --> 00:31:02,190
in the heat of committing
your very first murder.
623
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,988
But it drew enough blood that some
of it wound up in the grooves
624
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:08,428
on the strike plates of those shells
you put in Silas' pocket.
625
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,160
You wiped the shells clean of prints.
You're a smart guy.
626
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:13,133
Those little grooves,
they're hard to get to.
627
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:16,299
We know the blood didn't come from
Silas or Rada.
628
00:31:16,674 --> 00:31:19,370
This is a warrant to compel
a DNA test from you.
629
00:31:19,544 --> 00:31:21,705
We can run the tests,
wait for the results,
630
00:31:22,046 --> 00:31:24,105
or you can just start talking now.
631
00:31:24,949 --> 00:31:27,713
Dr. Hobbs confessed.
He's losing his medical license,
632
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:31,083
and he's going to jail
for a very long time.
633
00:31:31,256 --> 00:31:33,724
Thank you, doctor...
Thank you, Miss Watson.
634
00:31:35,493 --> 00:31:37,859
A very great pleasure indeed.
635
00:31:38,663 --> 00:31:40,392
WALKER:
Redirect?
636
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:43,659
- Then what happened?
- You mean with Dr. Hobbs?
637
00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:47,794
No. I've seen enough of your mutual
admiration society for one day.
638
00:31:48,206 --> 00:31:52,199
I'm talking about the reason
we are actually here.
639
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:55,542
The day you got Phineas Hobbs
to confess to murder.
640
00:31:57,215 --> 00:31:59,911
What happened
when you were leaving work?
641
00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:03,681
We were just heading
out of the station.
642
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:06,551
I'm not learning fencing from you,
Holmes.
643
00:32:06,724 --> 00:32:07,782
Please stop asking me.
644
00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:10,427
It's not fencing. It is singlestick.
645
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:13,120
Well, whatever it is,
I'm sure it's fascinating,
646
00:32:13,298 --> 00:32:15,528
but I'm not interested at all.
647
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:18,669
Now, if you wanna talk
about real sports, like basketball...
648
00:32:18,836 --> 00:32:20,360
You couldn't keep your voice down,
huh?
649
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:22,703
Mr. Dylan, it's business hours.
650
00:32:22,874 --> 00:32:25,672
Shouldn't you be trolling a cancer ward
looking for prospective clients?
651
00:32:25,843 --> 00:32:27,708
No, because I don't have that job
anymore.
652
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:29,141
Somebody overheard you at work.
653
00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:31,179
They heard you say
that I've been in jail.
654
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:33,510
They told my boss, and he fired me.
655
00:32:33,685 --> 00:32:35,710
That would matter less
if you could actually sell...
656
00:32:35,887 --> 00:32:37,377
What's the opposite of ice
to Eskimos?
657
00:32:37,555 --> 00:32:39,921
Give the man a break.
He just lost his job.
658
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:43,390
This is an opportunity for you to do
something a little less soul-sucking.
659
00:32:43,561 --> 00:32:45,529
No, I won't be doing anything
660
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:48,257
because my boss called my PO
and he violated me.
661
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:49,964
I'm going back to prison.
662
00:32:50,935 --> 00:32:52,300
That's a regrettable outcome.
663
00:32:52,704 --> 00:32:55,195
Regrettable?
You ruined my life, man.
664
00:32:55,473 --> 00:32:58,237
- You don't get to just walk away.
- Gun! Unh!
665
00:32:58,409 --> 00:33:00,309
OFFICER 1: Gun! Call an ambulance!
- Ugh!
666
00:33:00,478 --> 00:33:02,605
[GROANING]
667
00:33:05,383 --> 00:33:07,442
OFFICER 2: Two men down:
One officer and one suspect.
668
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:10,549
OFFICER 3:
We need an EMT here ASAP.
669
00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:15,518
No further questions.
670
00:33:27,872 --> 00:33:30,306
Well, thank goodness that's over.
671
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:33,709
Do you have any sense
on how the judge is leaning?
672

GREGSON:
Guess we'll find out in the morning.
673
00:33:36,647 --> 00:33:38,046
Yeah.
674
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:42,418
I'm gonna head over
to see Bell right now.
675
00:33:44,722 --> 00:33:47,156
All right,
I'll see you later at the brownstone.
676
00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:55,230
[GROANING]
677
00:33:58,269 --> 00:34:01,204
- Hey.
- Hey.
678
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:05,703
- How's it going?
- All right.
679
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:10,980
I bumped into the nurse
on the way in.
680
00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:13,515
She said that you have some
movement back in your arm.
681
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:18,247
Yeah, that might be a bit
of an understatement.
682
00:34:31,502 --> 00:34:35,939
They said I, uh, might get better.
683
00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:40,372
WATSON:
In time, physical therapy
684
00:34:40,545 --> 00:34:42,570
can do wonders with nerve damage.
I've seen it.
685
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:48,274
The, uh...
686
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,079
The department requires detectives
to carry a gun,
687
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:58,490
so, what happens
if I can't anymore?
688
00:35:07,371 --> 00:35:09,100
What are his chances
of making full recovery?
689
00:35:09,974 --> 00:35:11,669
Well, he's young and healthy,
which is good,
690
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:14,812
but there's no way to tell
how much function he'll regain.
691
00:35:17,548 --> 00:35:21,279
Practicing left-handed is one way to
show you care about what happened.
692
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:22,919
A better one would be to visit him.
693
00:35:23,087 --> 00:35:26,147
I'm well aware of your feelings on the
matter, even if your logic eludes me.
694
00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:28,554
This is not about logic.
It's the right thing to do.
695
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,557
It would be an empty gesture.
696
00:35:30,728 --> 00:35:32,286
I have no medical insight
to offer him.
697
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:34,397
I can't imagine my presence
would be anything more
698
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:35,896
than an invasion of his privacy.
699
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:38,433
I don't care if you lie in court,
but do not lie to me.
700
00:35:38,603 --> 00:35:39,934
This is not about Bell's privacy.
701
00:35:40,104 --> 00:35:42,766
- This is about your guilt.
- Heh.
702
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:44,635
You're not responsible
for what happened.
703
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:46,242
That is on James Dylan.
704
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:49,436
But this time, your fondness for
blowing past bureaucratic guideposts
705
00:35:49,614 --> 00:35:51,411
got a man you respect shot.
706
00:35:51,582 --> 00:35:53,015
If I went, what would I say?
707
00:35:53,184 --> 00:35:56,244
I've got nothing to offer the man
other than a few banal bromides.
708
00:35:57,421 --> 00:35:59,946
What makes you think
that's not enough?
709
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:14,397
JUDGE: This hearing has left me
no doubt that Sherlock Holmes
710
00:36:14,572 --> 00:36:16,005
is a singular mind,
711
00:36:16,307 --> 00:36:19,174
and the work that he's done
with Joan Watson
712
00:36:19,343 --> 00:36:21,538
has been an asset to the N.Y.P.D.
713
00:36:21,712 --> 00:36:25,512
Now, that an officer was wounded
during the course of that work
714
00:36:25,683 --> 00:36:28,243
is a highly regrettable outcome
715
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,287
but one that occurs
in law enforcement.
716
00:36:32,456 --> 00:36:35,448
Another regrettable outcome
in law enforcement
717
00:36:35,626 --> 00:36:40,427
is when officers decide
that they are above the rules.
718
00:36:40,598 --> 00:36:43,863
So in spite of Mr. Holmes'
good intentions,
719
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:45,798
he's demonstrated amply
720
00:36:45,970 --> 00:36:49,167
that he doesn't care
to control his actions.
721
00:36:49,907 --> 00:36:52,933
As such, my recommendation
to the commissioner
722
00:36:53,110 --> 00:36:56,204
will be that Mr. Holmes
and Miss Watson
723
00:36:56,380 --> 00:36:59,907
be terminated as consultants
to the N.Y.P.D.
724
00:37:00,084 --> 00:37:01,574
[GAVEL BANGS]
725
00:37:32,383 --> 00:37:33,475
You needn't gloat.
726
00:37:33,651 --> 00:37:35,846
It's unbecoming of the good work
that you did.
727
00:37:36,687 --> 00:37:38,086
I'm not here to spike the ball.
728
00:37:40,658 --> 00:37:42,649
I'm going to a meeting.
729
00:37:42,827 --> 00:37:46,888
Seems like maybe you should come
with me.
730
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:51,064
MAN [ON TV]:
Ball is inbound into Simon.
731
00:37:51,235 --> 00:37:53,226
Brings it downcourt
and is double-teamed...
732
00:37:53,404 --> 00:37:56,498
COMMISSIONER: Boy,
the Giants sure do suck this year.
733
00:37:56,674 --> 00:38:00,269
Commissioner.
I'm not watching the Giants.
734
00:38:00,444 --> 00:38:03,971
COMMISSIONER: I know.
Just felt like it needed to be said.
735
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:07,448
I wanted to make sure
they're taking good care of you here.
736
00:38:08,352 --> 00:38:09,944
The hearing ended today.
737
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,180
The judge recommended
that I end our arrangement
738
00:38:12,356 --> 00:38:13,618
with Holmes and his partner.
739
00:38:14,325 --> 00:38:16,623
It's just a recommendation, though.
740
00:38:16,994 --> 00:38:18,962
The decision's mine.
741
00:38:19,230 --> 00:38:23,564
And I'll admit it, I'm struggling with it.
742
00:38:25,002 --> 00:38:29,200
Captain Gregson pointed out
that tossing Holmes
743
00:38:29,373 --> 00:38:33,139
opens the department up
to charges of impropriety
744
00:38:33,311 --> 00:38:34,744
on every case Holmes worked on.
745
00:38:35,479 --> 00:38:38,448
That's a lot of closed cases
that could get opened up again.
746
00:38:39,016 --> 00:38:41,951
Clearly, Holmes is a loose cannon.
747
00:38:42,553 --> 00:38:47,047
But this time, a first grade detective
got caught in his crossfire.
748
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,992
Facing danger from a guy
on your own team
749
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:55,458
can I really ask officers to do that?
750
00:38:57,935 --> 00:38:59,766
Wait, are you?
751
00:39:00,404 --> 00:39:02,133
You're asking me
what you should do?
752
00:39:02,306 --> 00:39:04,035
How could I not?
753
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:06,240
You've been working with the guy
for a long time
754
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:10,278
and you're the one
who caught a bullet.
755
00:39:35,673 --> 00:39:38,141
I heard your hearing
didn't go too well.
756
00:39:38,309 --> 00:39:40,106
Not well at all.
757
00:39:42,947 --> 00:39:45,279
But the commissioner decided
758
00:39:45,449 --> 00:39:49,044
not to accept the judge's
recommendation to terminate me.
759
00:39:50,354 --> 00:39:52,549
So I'm staying on as a consultant
after all.
760
00:39:53,557 --> 00:39:56,685
With a little additional oversight.
761
00:39:58,529 --> 00:40:00,554
Congratulations.
762
00:40:00,731 --> 00:40:03,529
Any idea what changed his mind?
763
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:11,405
There's much I should say to you.
764
00:40:14,812 --> 00:40:18,543
Thanks for intervening
with James Dylan.
765
00:40:20,885 --> 00:40:23,479
You may very well have saved my life.
766
00:40:27,725 --> 00:40:30,193
And I apologize.
767
00:40:33,597 --> 00:40:35,724
I had James Dylan's name
before we went to see him.
768
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:37,561
I should have done
some proper research
769
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:39,362
before I helped myself to his phone.
770
00:40:40,237 --> 00:40:41,568
I should have been more discreet
771
00:40:41,739 --> 00:40:44,367
when I was attempting
to loosen his tongue.
772
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:48,039
I could have provoked him less
outside the police station.
773
00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:49,940
I could've...
774
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,138
There's any number of ways
775
00:40:51,315 --> 00:40:53,579
that this could've turned out
other than the way it did.
776
00:40:57,288 --> 00:41:01,384
I hate what happened to you,
and whatever role I played in it.
777
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,751
That's why I've been avoiding
this visit.
778
00:41:09,767 --> 00:41:13,897
So the palsy in your hand,
I've done some research.
779
00:41:14,338 --> 00:41:17,899
The clinic with the highest rate
of recovery is in Gstaad.
780
00:41:18,075 --> 00:41:19,838
I've communicated with the director,
781
00:41:20,010 --> 00:41:22,706
and they would be happy
to take you on straightaway.
782
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,472
But if you'd rather stay in New York,
783
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:26,741
their top physician travels here
frequently
784
00:41:27,351 --> 00:41:29,546
and could consult
with local specialists.
785
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,917
All at no cost to you, obviously.
786
00:41:36,227 --> 00:41:38,092
Well, I'll just...
787
00:41:38,562 --> 00:41:39,995
I'll just leave you with their card.
788
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,598
I feel good about the doctors here.
789
00:41:42,766 --> 00:41:44,233
These people are at the top of...
790
00:41:44,401 --> 00:41:47,131
Holmes, I don't want a favor
from you.
791
00:41:49,807 --> 00:41:51,638
I'd rather not see you around here.
