Watson, I've just had
an alarming conversation.
5
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:56,321
I was expecting to find
my housemate.
6
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:57,820
No problem.
7
00:00:57,991 --> 00:00:59,925
I'm Gay.
8
00:01:00,293 --> 00:01:02,284
I'm not.
9
00:01:02,762 --> 00:01:03,854
It's my name.
10
00:01:04,497 --> 00:01:06,260
Yes, of course.

I'm Sherlock.

Hello.
13
00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:11,666
I also am gay.
14
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:13,829
So, you know, saves time.
15
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:15,903
How efficient.
16

Welcome to my home.

Oh. I see you've met Gay.
18
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:24,812
Would you excuse us
for a moment, Gay?
19
00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:27,578
Randy is fighting off the urge
to relapse,
20
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:29,483
so I'm leaving to accompany him
to a meeting.
21
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:32,523
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
What's bothering him?
22
00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:34,323
He's a drug addict.
23
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:37,895
I see that you are looking into
my trunk of unsolved cases.
24
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:40,362
Yes. You told me to look into it
in my spare time.
25
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:43,024
I think I might have found something
in the Doug Newberg file.
26
00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:46,630
You remember the case, right?
He was shot in his home in Riverdale.
27
00:01:46,806 --> 00:01:48,967
The place was ransacked,
police found the killer's DNA,
28
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:51,110
but they never found a match.
29
00:01:51,277 --> 00:01:53,006
Yes. Uh, I remember it well.
30
00:01:53,179 --> 00:01:55,010
Well, fairly well. Vaguely.
31
00:01:55,982 --> 00:01:59,577
I figured you were using because
your notes were really disorganized.
32
00:01:59,752 --> 00:02:02,152
Newberg was a philanderer.
I was investigating the possibility
33
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:04,654
that he had been murdered
by a man he had cuckolded.
34
00:02:04,824 --> 00:02:05,984
What have you learned?
35
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,354
Well, you remember this?

HOLMES:
Yeah. Don't expect me to translate.
37
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,523
I wrote that,
but I have no idea what I meant.
38
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:16,692
Oh, okay. Well, I figured
that your marker exploded right here.
39
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:18,770
I wanted to see
what was under the ink blotches,
40
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:21,998
so I put some nail-polish remover
and then some black coffee over it.
41
00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:23,904
You use black coffee
to get rid of stains?
42
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:25,874
The acid in the coffee
breaks down the marker.
43
00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:27,239
You never cleaned a whiteboard?
44
00:02:28,181 --> 00:02:30,081
So look at this wall.

All of it is gray
except for this big black stone.
46
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:34,482
It stood out to me,
so I tracked down Gay.
47
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:37,452
She's a geology fellow at NYU.
I asked her to take a look.
48
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:40,755
It's interesting.
Tough to tell from the photo,
49
00:02:40,927 --> 00:02:44,192
but I think I see some striations
on this rock. And that would mean...
50
00:02:44,364 --> 00:02:46,298
It's dug up from beneath
the surface of the earth.
51
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:49,162
Yeah. Well, I can't say for sure
without seeing it in person,
52
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,394
so we're gonna go to Riverdale,
see if it's there.

00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:52,629

before the meeting starts.
58
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:08,646

00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:14,259
You know what? It's okay.

We haven't found any of that in a dig

Most recent deposits
come from Mongolia.

Now, I can confirm that
when I look at the rock,

but if it was found there,
then it belongs to them.
137

If he was not involved
with the black market,

00:08:22,301 --> 00:08:24,826

not one of those times.

172
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:28,425
What are you texting him?
173
00:09:30,736 --> 00:09:31,930
"You'll do better next time."
174
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:39,469
This rock wall is very clearly
not a random hiding place.
175
00:09:39,645 --> 00:09:41,510

and very carefully...

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
177
00:09:45,618 --> 00:09:48,678
How on earth did you make a career
dealing with addicts?
178
00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:51,051
It's pretty late.
You could just call him.
179
00:09:51,357 --> 00:09:52,824
No.
180
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:56,660
Okay. Well, I will work on the collage
while you are out.
181
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:59,823
It's not a collage. I don't do crafts.
182
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:08,297
What time did you get in last night?
183
00:10:08,674 --> 00:10:12,201
I was with Randy
until well into the evening.
184
00:10:13,846 --> 00:10:14,904
You're gonna need those.
185
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:17,015
After breakfast,
we're gonna get ice cream.
186
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:20,512
It's the dead of winter. Why would
we want to go for ice cream?
187
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:22,754
Exactly.
188
00:10:23,723 --> 00:10:25,020
That's Diego Salcedo.
189
00:10:25,191 --> 00:10:27,421
Doug Newberg was his best man
at his wedding.
190
00:10:27,593 --> 00:10:29,823
Diego has a record.
Convicted of small stuff.
191
00:10:29,996 --> 00:10:33,329
But eight years ago, he was convicted
on three different counts
192
00:10:33,499 --> 00:10:35,967
of criminal possession
of stolen property.
193
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:37,329
Case ended in mistrial.
194
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:39,562
I looked into what he's up to now.
195
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:42,833
He owns a fleet of ice cream trucks
that operate all over New York.
196
00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:47,173
I checked with the city,
and the trucks have current permits.
197
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:50,013
- This mean something to you.
- It's the middle of winter.
198
00:10:50,182 --> 00:10:52,309
Why would he be running
a fleet of ice cream trucks?
199
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:55,977
The guy I spoke to said most operators
let their permits lapse during the winter.
200
00:10:56,155 --> 00:10:59,181
So why pay
if you're not selling any sundaes?
201
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:02,316
Half of the trucks are idle
and half of them are permanent.
202
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,156
And the ones that are running?
203
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:07,527
They're licensed to cover routes
that are mostly industrial areas.
204
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,691
These industrial areas,
do they include ports?
205
00:11:09,869 --> 00:11:11,837
- Yes.
- You think Diego Salcedo
206
00:11:12,004 --> 00:11:15,201
is using ice cream trucks to move
smuggled goods around the city.
207
00:11:15,374 --> 00:11:19,105
It could explain why Doug Newberg
wound up with a fossil in his yard.
208
00:11:19,278 --> 00:11:20,973
Mm.
209
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:25,412
So you think this guy had something
to do with Newberg's murder?
210
00:11:25,584 --> 00:11:27,381
We don't know.
211
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,381
But if he knows
where the fossil came from,
212
00:11:29,555 --> 00:11:31,921
then he can get us closer to a solution
than we are now.
213
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:36,359
Has anyone claimed responsibility
for the Nanotyrannus yet?
214
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:38,258
No. Why?
215
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:39,659
He wants to take it home.

00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:49,929
I don't understand.
233

and you arrest me,

at my buddy Doug's house?

It's a Nanotyrannus.

you put it there.

in the murder of Doug Newberg.

Could mean the difference
between making bail or not.
243
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:15,818
Are you nuts? I grew up with Doug.
He was my best man. I didn't kill him.
244
00:13:15,995 --> 00:13:17,553
Do you have an alibi?
245
00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:20,597
I don't know.
That was what, three years ago?
246
00:13:20,766 --> 00:13:21,858
Captain, sorry to interrupt.
247
00:13:22,034 --> 00:13:24,093
Two guys from lmmigrations
and Customs just got here.
248
00:13:24,270 --> 00:13:26,067
They say you were expecting them.
249
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:27,865
Uh, tell them I need a few minutes.
250
00:13:31,076 --> 00:13:34,273
How did the fossil get
in your friend Doug's backyard?
251
00:13:34,446 --> 00:13:35,936
All right, look.
252
00:13:36,115 --> 00:13:39,346
Right before Doug got killed,
I took a delivery, of a rock.
253
00:13:39,518 --> 00:13:41,349
I don't even know what was inside it.
254
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,385
But the buyer,
he fell out at the last minute.
255
00:13:43,556 --> 00:13:45,649
And I was sure somebody federal
was watching my place,
256
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:47,053
so I couldn't bring it there.
257
00:13:47,226 --> 00:13:50,627
So I asked Doug if I could keep it
at his place, just for a couple of days.
258
00:13:50,796 --> 00:13:52,923
Next day, he gets killed.
259
00:13:53,098 --> 00:13:55,259
Did I think that the two events
were connected?
260
00:13:55,434 --> 00:13:57,265
Of course.
Somebody must've been following me.
261
00:13:57,937 --> 00:14:01,236
But I always thought that
whoever killed him took the rock too.
262
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:02,897
You didn't know
it was in his backyard?
263
00:14:03,075 --> 00:14:04,440
I gave it to him in his garage.
264
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:06,601
The guy must've stashed the thing
in there himself.
265
00:14:08,113 --> 00:14:10,411
I didn't kill Doug.
266
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:12,517
I didn't kill Doug.
I mean, you can take my DNA.
267
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:15,245
You can hook me up to a lie detector.

didn't he?
269
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:26,360
Whoever murdered Newberg wanted
that skeleton, but they never found it.
270
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,090
- We did.
- And?
271
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:30,633
You wanna put it on the black market,
see who comes calling.
272
00:14:30,803 --> 00:14:33,271
Captain, I got a guy from ICE
hovering around my desk.
273
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:34,838
Something about a fossil.
274
00:14:35,407 --> 00:14:37,671
What's with these guys?
I told them I need a few minutes.
275
00:14:37,843 --> 00:14:41,301
Uh, it's just one. And he just got here.
276
00:14:43,916 --> 00:14:48,216
Yeah, they signed for the thing, like...
I don't know, like, ten minutes ago?
277
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,150
You were supposed to wait
until I got here.
278
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,790
These guys are federal. You know
how they are about sitting around.
279
00:14:52,958 --> 00:14:55,290
Did you confirm their credentials?
280
00:14:55,461 --> 00:14:57,156
I'm guessing that you didn't,
281
00:14:57,329 --> 00:15:00,423
because I got another ICE agent
out in the bullpen,
282
00:15:00,599 --> 00:15:03,591
and Detective Bell says
that he checks out.
283
00:15:10,843 --> 00:15:12,276
What?
284
00:15:12,444 --> 00:15:14,742
You just presided over the theft
of a piece of evidence,
285
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:18,042
which also happens to be
a priceless archeological treasure.
286
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:29,056
And off they go
with their Nanotyrannus fossil.
287
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:31,594
The whole affair does have
a certain spirit of derring-do.
288
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:34,324
One almost has to admire it.
289
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:40,198
I just had a very long conversation
with my counterpart at ICE.
290
00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:42,970
They're gonna help us
with investigation into the robbery.
291
00:15:43,142 --> 00:15:45,804
We've got Forensics
on the paperwork they left behind,
292
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,741
and we put a BOLO out
on the thieves.
293
00:15:47,913 --> 00:15:51,940
Well, whoever they are,
they command extraordinary resources.
294
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:54,381
Firstly, they had to know
that we'd recovered the fossil.
295
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:57,747
There's been no media coverage, so
that implies they've cultivated a source
296
00:15:57,923 --> 00:15:59,550
within lmmigration and Customs.
297
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:00,817
They created false documents
298
00:16:00,993 --> 00:16:03,894
that were convincing enough
to fool a veteran policeman.
299
00:16:04,063 --> 00:16:06,054
And they timed their operation
so that they arrived
300
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:08,825
before the real ICE agent.
301
00:16:09,001 --> 00:16:12,664
What are they even gonna do
with stolen dinosaur bones?
302
00:16:12,838 --> 00:16:15,068
It's not like you can unload it
in some dark alley.
303
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,765
No, you have to be wired
into a network of potential bidders.
304
00:16:17,943 --> 00:16:21,902
People who are willing to spend
millions of dollars on illegal purchases.
305
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:24,547
The question we need to ask is,
who's the biggest game in town
306
00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:26,446
when it comes
to smuggled antiquities?
307
00:16:26,618 --> 00:16:28,347
We find that person,
we'll find the thieves.
308
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,114
And I'll bet they're connected
to the murder of Doug Newberg.
309
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:34,726
We've got Diego's list of people that
knew he was driving the fossil around.
310
00:16:34,893 --> 00:16:36,258
Plus, I'll get the Port Authority
311
00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:38,794
to cough up their files
on high-end smugglers.
312
00:16:39,365 --> 00:16:42,198
We shall see
if C has any thoughts on the matter.
313
00:16:44,036 --> 00:16:46,937
WATSON: Okay, so you only know her
as C and you've never actually met her,
314
00:16:47,106 --> 00:16:48,937
but you think she can help us?
315
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:52,600
HOLMES:
I know her only as C through choice.
316
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:55,406
I could find out her real name
if I wanted to, obviously.
317
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:58,379
But, uh, using initials
318
00:16:58,550 --> 00:17:02,987
is something of a convention
of our mutual hobby.
319
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:05,118
Which is?
320
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:08,483
C and I engage
in prurient correspondence.
321
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:10,389
We have done for quite some time.
322
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:12,888
You write each other dirty letters?
323
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:16,895
That is a uniquely prudish way
of putting it.
324
00:17:17,069 --> 00:17:18,900
But, yes, we do.
325
00:17:19,371 --> 00:17:22,499
Erotica is a fascinating literary genre.
326
00:17:22,674 --> 00:17:24,835
I first encountered C
on message boards
327
00:17:25,010 --> 00:17:28,070
dedicated to analyzing
the correspondence of D.H. Lawrence.
328
00:17:28,247 --> 00:17:31,341
It turns out,
she is a master of the form.
329
00:17:31,517 --> 00:17:34,918
And so how exactly is your
naughty pen pal supposed to help us?
330
00:17:35,621 --> 00:17:38,556
Well, we don't exchange much details
about our private lives,
331
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:42,956
but I do know that she's an executive
at a top auction house.
332
00:17:43,128 --> 00:17:44,322
And like most high-end houses,
333
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:46,430
they have a problem losing inventory
at the ports
334
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,793
when they're bringing merchandise
into the country.
335
00:17:49,201 --> 00:17:50,862
So, what are we supposed
to be looking for?
336
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:53,095
Someone carrying The Story of O?
337
00:17:53,639 --> 00:17:55,504

You think that's her?
339
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:05,546
She's described that scarf
in one of her letters.

00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,633
Do I look as you'd imagined?
341

Thanks for meeting me in person.
347

I'm half-convinced
my assistant listens to all my calls.

But I don't know
if I'll be able to help you.

I'm an auctioneer, not a smuggler.
350
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,095
Surely you've rubbed elbows with a few,
after a lifetime in the trade.
351
00:18:50,829 --> 00:18:52,990
There's one name.
352
00:18:53,165 --> 00:18:55,690
Supposedly has a stranglehold
on the trade.
353
00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:58,132
He's a bit of a myth actually.
354
00:18:58,303 --> 00:19:00,999
The employees at our warehouses
always joke that
355
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:04,665
if they wanted to make real money,
they'd sell our goods over to him.
356
00:19:04,843 --> 00:19:06,743
I suspect a few of them
have done it.
357
00:19:06,912 --> 00:19:08,504
You have a name?
358
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,942
It's a bit silly.
359
00:19:10,115 --> 00:19:12,913
Apparently,
he calls himself the Magpie.
360
00:19:13,085 --> 00:19:15,576
Any idea how I might
get in touch with him?
361
00:19:15,754 --> 00:19:18,245
As I understand it, you have to have
something that he wants.
362
00:19:18,423 --> 00:19:22,018
Then he finds you.
363
00:19:25,931 --> 00:19:27,956
Hey, you back there?

Well, obviously,
you're gonna make me ask.

to attract the attention of the Magpie.

So I'm making one.
368
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:44,344
Ahem, in 1517, Martin Luther
nailed his ç5 Theses
369
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:46,780
to the door of Castle Church
in Wittenberg,
370
00:19:46,952 --> 00:19:48,977
and so was born the Reformation.
371
00:19:49,154 --> 00:19:51,247
Oh, yeah. I took history in college.
372
00:19:51,423 --> 00:19:54,324
Did you know he also mailed
several handwritten copies
373
00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:57,485
to notable figures
on the very same day?
374
00:19:57,663 --> 00:20:00,359
It's long been rumored
that Luther labored
375
00:20:00,532 --> 00:20:03,057
over several rough drafts
of the document.
376
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:06,568
You can imagine
what a copy might be worth.
377
00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:10,230
Oh, so you're writing a fake ç5 Theses.
And then what?
378
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,934
I'm going to pose as someone
who has recently inherited it,
379
00:20:13,111 --> 00:20:14,635

380
00:20:14,813 --> 00:20:17,782
There are websites which track
the availabilities of such things.
381
00:20:17,950 --> 00:20:20,817

last night.

She's been out of town
for more than a year.
394
00:20:52,651 --> 00:20:53,777
She's a heroin addict.
395

It's not difficult
to track her movements,
396
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:57,453
nor is it unreasonable to speculate
397

that she may have broken the law
during her sabbatical.
398
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:02,086
I've just heard
from my contact in Chicago,
399

has several open warrants there.

No, of course not.

She's a drug addict. I can't very well
make her my victim as well.

I realized I couldn't follow through the

the minutiae of their relationship.

You heard him out.
You gave him good advice.

Why not just tell him
you won't talk about it anymore?
422
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,160
Because I fear that he will relapse
if I'm firm with him.

And I don't want that to happen.
Not to my sponsee.

00:27:30,882 --> 00:27:32,543
Why is Gay asleep on our couch?
507
00:27:32,717 --> 00:27:34,776
I worked her hard.
508
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:37,278
Don't be territorial about your geologist,
Watson.
509
00:27:37,455 --> 00:27:39,446
I was in need of one this evening.
510
00:27:39,624 --> 00:27:44,288
I'm guessing that's why you're blasting
Marriage of Figaro at 4 in the morning.
511
00:27:44,629 --> 00:27:46,028
You don't even like opera.
512
00:27:46,197 --> 00:27:47,494
HOLMES:
No, of course I don't.
513
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:51,067
All the tedious histrionics.
I was using it to stay awake.
514
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:53,968
I believe I have learned
515
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:56,869
why the Magpie's killer
destroyed the Nanotyrannus.
516
00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:02,104
"Dead Clade Walking."
517
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,145
HOLMES: A clade is a term
for a group of animals
518
00:28:04,315 --> 00:28:07,113
which has survived
an extinction-level event.
519
00:28:07,285 --> 00:28:09,845
It's widely acknowledged
in paleontological circles
520
00:28:10,021 --> 00:28:12,285
that the extinction of the dinosaurs
was brought about
521
00:28:12,457 --> 00:28:14,550
by a comet striking
the surface of the Earth
522
00:28:14,726 --> 00:28:17,160
approximately 66 million years ago.
523
00:28:17,328 --> 00:28:19,023
The foundation of this belief
524
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:21,427
is a layer of rock
beneath the surface of the Earth
525
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:23,362
which has an abundance
of rare metals
526
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:26,003
thought to be common
in comets and asteroids
527
00:28:26,171 --> 00:28:29,231
called the K-T boundary.
528
00:28:29,407 --> 00:28:31,170
Yeah, I read about that somewhere.
529
00:28:31,342 --> 00:28:34,106
They only find dinosaur fossils
below the K-T boundary, right?
530
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,146
Mm. Apart from a few very
rare exceptions, yes.
531
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:39,579
Stands to reason,
if the dinosaurs were rendered extinct
532
00:28:39,751 --> 00:28:41,480
by the comet
which created the K-T boundary,
533
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:43,644
you couldn't find their bones above it,
right?
534
00:28:43,822 --> 00:28:45,483
Right. Right?
535
00:28:45,657 --> 00:28:48,353
Maybe. A new generation
of paleontologists
536
00:28:48,526 --> 00:28:51,154
has seized upon the few fossils
found above the K-T boundary
537
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:54,526
to suggest that some dinosaurs
survived the comet's impact.
538
00:28:54,699 --> 00:28:56,064
Like Martin Luther before them,
539
00:28:56,234 --> 00:28:58,759
they have dared to challenge
the orthodoxy of the institution
540
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,336
which gives them their livelihood.
541
00:29:00,505 --> 00:29:02,735
They call their theory
Dead Clade Walking.
542
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,273
And it's enormously controversial
in the field.
543
00:29:05,443 --> 00:29:07,343
So maybe dinosaurs lived longer
than we thought.
544
00:29:07,512 --> 00:29:08,877
Why is that controversial?
545
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:10,537
Well, why is anything controversial?
546
00:29:10,715 --> 00:29:12,683
These people need something
to argue about,
547
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:17,117
and Dead Clade Walking has yielded
a bumper crop of conflict.
548
00:29:17,822 --> 00:29:20,814
Well, sounds like a really good episode
of NO VA,
549
00:29:20,992 --> 00:29:24,155
but I'm not sure what it has to do
with our investigation.
550
00:29:24,329 --> 00:29:26,923
The rock that the Nanotyrannus
was found in,
551
00:29:27,098 --> 00:29:29,760
I decided to take a closer look
at its composition.
552
00:29:29,934 --> 00:29:33,665
And Gay has confirmed that it seems
to have certain geological features
553
00:29:33,838 --> 00:29:36,807
which would suggest it was buried
above the K-T boundary.
554
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:41,545
It would be the first complete skeleton
found there.
555
00:29:41,713 --> 00:29:42,975
It could have proven the theory.
556
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:44,710
Well, we will never know.
557
00:29:44,883 --> 00:29:47,681
Whoever destroyed the sample
has made sure of that.
558
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,450
You think someone was willing to kill
just to keep Dead Clade Walking
559
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:52,749
from being declared true?
560
00:29:52,924 --> 00:29:55,154
Murders have been committed
on the basis of far less.
561
00:29:55,326 --> 00:29:56,418
Who would do that?
562
00:29:56,594 --> 00:29:58,994
I don't know. Not yet.
563
00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:02,622
But I'm assembling a list
of the city's most vocal opponents
564
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,325
to Dead Clade Walking.
565
00:30:04,502 --> 00:30:07,027
Seemed like a good place to start.
566
00:30:07,338 --> 00:30:09,431
WATSON: You've been asked here
because you represent
567
00:30:09,607 --> 00:30:12,508
the most strident opposition
to Dead Clade Walking.
568
00:30:13,511 --> 00:30:14,739
You might be interested to know
569
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:18,349
that we recently found
a Nanotyrannus skeleton
570
00:30:18,516 --> 00:30:20,814
that may have been buried
well above the K-T layer.
571
00:30:20,985 --> 00:30:22,009
That's unlikely.
572
00:30:22,187 --> 00:30:23,950
WATSON: Unfortunately,
the fossil was destroyed
573
00:30:24,122 --> 00:30:27,057
and the person in possession of it
was killed.
574
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:30,184
We believe someone
with a vested interest
575
00:30:30,361 --> 00:30:33,262
in keeping Dead Clade Walking
from being proven right
576
00:30:33,765 --> 00:30:34,959
was behind the murder.
577
00:30:35,133 --> 00:30:36,862
You think one of us did it?
578
00:30:37,035 --> 00:30:39,435
Do I look like I'm running around
planning murders?
579
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:41,970
BELL: We'd like each of you
to volunteer a cheek swab,
580
00:30:42,140 --> 00:30:45,075
and we'll test it against some DNA
we found at the crime scene.
581
00:30:45,243 --> 00:30:48,076
You don't have to agree, of course,
although you would be assisting
582
00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:50,214
an active homicide investigation
if you do.
583
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:52,872
Okay, whatever. This is silly.
584
00:30:57,388 --> 00:31:01,256
- Problem?
- With giving my DNA to the police?
585
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:04,293
Yes, I do have a problem with that.
586
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:13,731
Guy takes his privacy seriously.
587
00:31:13,905 --> 00:31:14,963
Yeah.
588
00:31:15,139 --> 00:31:17,539
His name is lvan Kershavin.
589
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:21,201
And perhaps our investigation
just found a bit of focus.
590
00:31:21,779 --> 00:31:24,145
WATSON: Let's say this guy
really did kill the Magpie.
591
00:31:24,315 --> 00:31:26,783
He has to know we're watching him,
right?
592
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:29,751
I mean, even if we use
his social media
593
00:31:29,921 --> 00:31:31,320
to track down where he'll be today,
594
00:31:31,489 --> 00:31:34,981
you really think he's gonna throw away
a tissue so we can get a DNA sample?
595
00:31:35,159 --> 00:31:37,059
Well, he wouldn't
if he was a competent criminal.
596
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,458
But the good investigator
never rules out the possibility
597
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:42,623
that one's quarry is a fool.
598
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:45,900
WATSON:
Are you worried about Randy?
599
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:49,164
No, I'm just checking to see
if he's called, that's all.
600
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:54,474
You know, if he has cut me off,
it'll be a relief.
601
00:31:54,646 --> 00:31:57,547
Sponsorship is a risky investment
of one's time and energy, quite frankly.
602
00:31:57,982 --> 00:32:00,780
Well, you can back off
that Kershavin guy.
603
00:32:00,952 --> 00:32:04,149
We got the preliminary results
from the DNA samples we took.
604
00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:06,753
There is a match
for what we found at the scene.
605
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:07,983
It's Andrew Donnelly.
606
00:32:09,861 --> 00:32:11,488
The guy in the wheelchair?
607
00:32:12,864 --> 00:32:16,391
GREGSON: Guy is smart enough
to not talk until his lawyer gets here.
608
00:32:16,567 --> 00:32:18,535
I know DNA is DNA,
609
00:32:18,703 --> 00:32:20,967
but I'm having a hard time
getting my head around that guy
610
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:26,133
shooting a career criminal
and then clubbing him to death.
611
00:32:26,711 --> 00:32:28,076
He gave us his DNA.
612
00:32:28,246 --> 00:32:31,272
He knew a refusal
would make him a suspect.
613
00:32:31,983 --> 00:32:33,974
Perhaps he's hoping
we were bluffing.
614
00:32:34,152 --> 00:32:36,712
I know the visual's incongruous,
but...
615
00:32:37,155 --> 00:32:40,420
Andrew Donnelly is a superstar
of paleontology.
616
00:32:40,591 --> 00:32:43,924
He's also the leading opponent
of Dead Clade Walking.
617
00:32:44,095 --> 00:32:47,622
He's staked out a very public position,
so he's got quite a bit to lose.
618
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:49,460
Speaking fees, consulting jobs.
619
00:32:49,634 --> 00:32:53,331
The books that he writes
would no doubt fall out of circulation.
620
00:32:54,038 --> 00:32:55,938
You like him
for the Doug Newberg murder too?
621
00:32:56,374 --> 00:32:57,932
Well, actually, we just got the results
622
00:32:58,109 --> 00:33:00,270
comparing the DNA
from both crime scenes.
623
00:33:00,445 --> 00:33:02,709
They don't match.
We're looking for two different killers.
624
00:33:03,581 --> 00:33:07,278
Maybe the Newberg murder was just
a garden-variety burglary gone wrong.
625
00:33:07,452 --> 00:33:08,714
Seems unlikely.
626
00:33:10,521 --> 00:33:12,284
Well, let's see.
627
00:33:12,557 --> 00:33:16,425
Maybe he'll confess
to the Magpie's murder. Hmm?
628
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:24,032
Oh, you can turn around, counselor.
629
00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:25,931
We're ready to begin
questioning your client.
630
00:33:26,104 --> 00:33:28,834
There isn't gonna be an interrogation
of Mr. Donnelly.
631
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:30,975
My client is the victim of a frame-up.
632
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:34,875
Malcolm Turner, this man who
called himself "the Magpie,"
633
00:33:35,046 --> 00:33:36,570
he was killed yesterday morning,
right?
634
00:33:36,748 --> 00:33:38,579
Sometime between 10 and 12?
635
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:41,651
Andrew Donnelly
was leading a guided tour
636
00:33:41,819 --> 00:33:44,185
of the Triboro Museum
of Natural History
637
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:46,585
from 9 a.m. Until 2:30.
638
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:48,055
It's something he does every year
639
00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:50,353
for people who donate big money
to his department.
640
00:33:50,528 --> 00:33:53,588
I've got Instagram photos posted
during the tour itself,
641
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:57,827
and more than a dozen millionaires
who can vouch for his whereabouts.
642
00:33:58,669 --> 00:34:03,800
I take it you'll be issuing an apology
along with Mr. Donnelly's release.
643
00:34:07,578 --> 00:34:10,445
Well, ahem, it appears she's correct.
644
00:34:10,648 --> 00:34:13,139
Mr. Donnelly could not have
murdered the Magpie.
645
00:34:13,551 --> 00:34:16,452
Well, how the hell did his DNA
get to the crime scene?
646
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:36,840
Why are you cutting up
the Magpie case file?
647
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:39,135
I am reducing it to digestible chunks.
648
00:34:40,878 --> 00:34:42,869
A 1953 study
at the University of Michigan
649
00:34:43,047 --> 00:34:46,608
found that planarian worms could
navigate a maze more successfully
650
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:49,548
after ingesting the remains
of other worms
651
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:51,381
who had also run the same course.
652
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:55,950
Perhaps if I ingest the file,
it will offer fresh insights.
653
00:34:56,127 --> 00:34:59,028
You're not really gonna eat
that entire stack of paper, right?
654
00:34:59,197 --> 00:35:02,030
Andrew Donnelly's DNA was found
at the scene of the Magpie's murder,
655
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,462
but he did not commit the crime.
656
00:35:04,302 --> 00:35:07,294
Ivan Kershavin refused
to give us a sample of his DNA,
657
00:35:07,472 --> 00:35:10,236
but two hours ago, a detective pulled
a can of soda from his rubbish
658
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:12,103
and got one for us anyway.
659
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:13,743
Not a match.
660
00:35:13,911 --> 00:35:15,708
I'm at a loss.
661
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,007
Hence, a new perspective
on the problem.
662
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:23,146
Well, the Magpie kept records
of all his transactions, right?
663
00:35:23,721 --> 00:35:25,621
Gregson pulled it from his studio.
664
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:28,623
If we figure out
who the customers were,
665
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:31,261
maybe we can come up
with a new list of suspects.
666
00:35:31,929 --> 00:35:33,556
Thank you for your insights.
667
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:36,325
I would not have thought of that
on my own.
668
00:35:43,274 --> 00:35:46,300
The Magpie identified his customers
via pseudonyms.
669
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:50,880
He sold a tapestry from a castle
in Ireland to a Bucky Wanderstick.
670
00:35:51,048 --> 00:35:53,380
A bracelet supposedly worn
by Genghis Khan
671
00:35:53,551 --> 00:35:56,076
went to Michael McBender, so on.
672
00:35:56,254 --> 00:35:58,722
WATSON: At least the guy has
a bad sense of humor.
673
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:02,121
"Snipes Houlihan."
He's got his own separate column.
674
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:04,352
Four different sales.
675
00:36:04,529 --> 00:36:06,554
"D-apostrophe-phalange.
D-apostrophe-humerus.
676
00:36:06,731 --> 00:36:08,392
D-apostrophe-atlas/axis."
677
00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:11,194
A toe, an arm, top of the spine.
678
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:14,827
The transactions happened
over a period of months,
679
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:17,440
so I want to know why they're linked.
680
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:51,040
Semi-circle right this way.
681
00:36:58,883 --> 00:37:02,284
I'm guessing there's a good reason
for all of this.
682
00:37:03,187 --> 00:37:06,054
I'm trying to attract the attention
of Snipes Houlihan.
683
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,623
You know who he is?
684
00:37:07,792 --> 00:37:09,692
I was curious as to why
the sales were grouped
685
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:12,795
under the heading
"D-apostrophe-D."
686
00:37:12,964 --> 00:37:15,364
When I reasoned that the Magpie
would only be trading in bones
687
00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:18,229
of species which were rare
or extinct,
688
00:37:18,402 --> 00:37:21,929
I quickly developed a theory
as to what it meant.
689
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:25,937
He sold three different
Dimetrodon bones to the same buyer.
690
00:37:26,110 --> 00:37:28,101
Precisely. Three different bones
691
00:37:28,279 --> 00:37:31,214
from three wildly divergent locations
on the body.
692
00:37:31,382 --> 00:37:34,818
Why would one need
a toe, an arm, leg,
693
00:37:34,986 --> 00:37:36,783
and a piece of the spinal column?
694
00:37:36,954 --> 00:37:40,355
Well, I can read. I'm guessing you think
that he used it to fill out this display.
695
00:37:40,524 --> 00:37:43,925
A display which claims to be
the only complete skeleton of its kind,
696
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:46,586
but which is, in fact, augmented
697
00:37:46,764 --> 00:37:49,995
by bones which were purchased
on the black market.
698
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,460
So that man we met,
Jerome Thomas,
699
00:37:53,638 --> 00:37:56,436
he said that he supervised
the dig himself.
700
00:37:56,607 --> 00:38:01,169
He did. He personally oversaw
the cataloging of all the findings.
701
00:38:01,545 --> 00:38:03,308
You think he faked finding
a complete skeleton
702
00:38:03,481 --> 00:38:06,507
and then bought the missing pieces
on the black market.
703
00:38:08,386 --> 00:38:10,650
But what does this have to do
with the Magpie's murder?
704
00:38:11,355 --> 00:38:13,755
It's the link which connects
the murders
705
00:38:13,924 --> 00:38:15,915
of Doug Newberg and the Magpie.
706
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:20,890
Firstly, it establishes that Dr. Thomas
knew and did business with the man.
707
00:38:21,065 --> 00:38:24,557
He would no doubt know what he had
up for sale at any given moment.
708
00:38:24,735 --> 00:38:26,930
The textbook I gave you,
did you notice who wrote it?
709
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,000
"Andrew Donnelly." He's...
710
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:35,703
He's the man whose DNA was found
at the scene of the Magpie's murder.
711
00:38:36,447 --> 00:38:38,005
"And Jerome Thomas."
712
00:38:38,182 --> 00:38:40,241
HOLMES:
They collaborated on that book,
713
00:38:40,418 --> 00:38:46,050
which is used as the introductory text
for almost every entry-level course.
714
00:38:46,223 --> 00:38:48,453
Now, Andrew Donnelly's reputation
would be ruined
715
00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:50,526
if Dead Clade Walking
were proven correct.
716
00:38:50,695 --> 00:38:53,755
So, what do you think would happen
to sales of his textbook?
717
00:38:53,931 --> 00:38:55,193
I'm sure they would plummet.
718
00:38:55,366 --> 00:38:58,426
What do you suppose would happen to
the reputation of his close associates?
719
00:38:58,602 --> 00:38:59,728
They'd be tainted too.
720
00:38:59,904 --> 00:39:02,065
What one Earth are you two doing?
721
00:39:03,207 --> 00:39:05,903
You found out there was a fossil
that could prove Dead Clade Walking,
722
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:08,469
and you killed Doug Newberg
to get your hands on it.
723
00:39:08,813 --> 00:39:10,178
- What?
WATSON: You couldn't find it
724
00:39:10,348 --> 00:39:13,146
so you thought it was lost,
until the Magpie put it up for sale again.
725
00:39:13,317 --> 00:39:16,809
Then you planted Andrew Donnelly's
DNA at the second murder.
726
00:39:16,987 --> 00:39:18,852
Actually, I think that was a mistake.
727
00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:20,047
I think you used a tool
728
00:39:20,224 --> 00:39:22,556
that you and Dr. Donnelly
probably shared in the field.
729
00:39:22,727 --> 00:39:25,491
Maybe you brought it with you
to destroy the fossil.
730
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:29,722
I don't know what you're talking about,
but you two need to leave.
731
00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:33,935
Yeah, all right.
If that's what you want.
732
00:39:34,271 --> 00:39:36,739
We don't have enough evidence
to arrest you, anyway.
733
00:39:36,907 --> 00:39:41,970
But the police are drawing up
a warrant for your DNA as we speak.
734
00:39:42,146 --> 00:39:45,013
And you and I both know
it's going to match the material
735
00:39:45,182 --> 00:39:46,945
found at Doug Newberg's
three years ago.
736
00:39:47,118 --> 00:39:49,518
They're also gonna be able
to search your home and your lab
737
00:39:49,687 --> 00:39:50,711
for the murder weapon.
738
00:39:50,888 --> 00:39:57,293
So given all that, I thought
I'd give you the opportunity to confess.
739
00:40:01,766 --> 00:40:03,893
The academic community
was stunned today
740
00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:07,560
as Dr. Jerome Thomas,
curator of the fossil collection
741
00:40:07,738 --> 00:40:09,797
at the Triboro Museum
of Natural History,
742
00:40:09,974 --> 00:40:12,772
was charged
with two separate murders.

Hey.

00:40:34,565 --> 00:40:37,033
- This was at the front stoop for you.
- Ah.
746
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,660
This would be the remains
of the Nanotyrannus.

You mean a pile of dust?

This creature survived the single
greatest extinction-level event in history.
749
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,578
It deserves a loftier resting place
than someone's dustbin.

Yes, I suppose I do.
