1
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:10,976
"Life is stranger
than anything the mind could invent."
2
00:00:12,979 --> 00:00:15,345
That's something my friend
likes to say.
3
00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:20,952
When I agreed
to come to New York with him,
4
00:00:21,154 --> 00:00:23,918
I was still hurting.
5
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:26,888
He'd offered an education,
and I was gonna take it.
6
00:00:27,093 --> 00:00:29,061
I was gonna use it.
7
00:00:29,829 --> 00:00:32,059
I'd just listen and I'd learn
8
00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:37,532
and when the time was right,
I would move on.
9
00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:44,375
But then I made another friend.
10
00:00:44,577 --> 00:00:45,703
And another one.
11
00:00:47,981 --> 00:00:51,576
My friend was only half right.
Life is strange,
12
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:55,346
but it's also good.
13
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:07,522
Kitty, right? I'm Miranda.
14
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,593
Your friend, the one
that you talk about sometimes,
15
00:01:10,804 --> 00:01:13,295
he's teaching you to be a detective?
16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,302
I was wondering if you could help me
with something.
17
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:19,102
Her name is Tess.
18
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,938
How many days
has she been gone now?
19
00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:25,380
Three. She's done this before.
20
00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:29,511
Let me worry while she partied
and crashed with friends.
21
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,520
But I've called everyone
I can think of.
22
00:01:32,725 --> 00:01:35,057
They say she isn't with them.
23
00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:39,526
You're not wearing a wedding band.
Is Dad not in the picture?
24
00:01:39,732 --> 00:01:42,895
Tess doesn't have a dad. Not really.
25
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:47,335
He's the reason I'm a part
of this group.
26
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:49,431
He was your rapist?
27
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:53,234
I always told her that her father
was someone I loved,
28
00:01:53,413 --> 00:01:55,643
that he died before she was born.
29
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:59,307
But kids grow up. They get curious.
30
00:01:59,552 --> 00:02:01,850
Last year
she started asking questions.
31
00:02:02,455 --> 00:02:04,582
I figured it was time
I told her the truth.
32
00:02:05,425 --> 00:02:08,121
That's when the partying started,
the running away.
33
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:12,591
I've been to the cops four times
in the past six months.
34
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:15,427
I can tell
they don't take me seriously anymore.
35
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:18,297
So I thought of you.
36
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:20,868
Will you help me find her?
37
00:02:25,678 --> 00:02:28,169
You've been standing there
for a while now.
38
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,872
- I'm thinking.
- Well, can you think a little faster?
39
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:34,520
The ME's van just pulled up,
and the Kelleys are pretty ripe.
40
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:37,281
- Hey.
- Watson.
41
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:40,391
Wasn't expecting you so soon.
Thought you were with a private client.
42
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:42,618
Wasn't the job for me.
So, what's up?
43
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,992
Certainly not the Kelleys.
They've been dead for days.
44
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:48,360
The housekeeper found them
a couple hours ago.
45
00:02:48,601 --> 00:02:51,331
They were both in their 80s,
but the odds that they died naturally
46
00:02:51,504 --> 00:02:54,473
and at exactly the same time are slim.
47
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:57,507
- He's just been staring at them.
- I was waiting for Watson.
48
00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:01,009
As you know, nothing helps clear up
a case like stating it to another person.
49
00:03:01,214 --> 00:03:03,011
What am I?
50
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:07,648
The detective is right to be suspicious
of the Kelleys' deaths.
51
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:11,346
It's unlikely they'd shuffle off
this mortal coil simultaneously.
52
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:13,856
Well, I don't see any signs
of a struggle.
53
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:15,927
Maybe it was a suicide pact.
54
00:03:16,162 --> 00:03:17,686
They both took poison?
55
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,924
While I do believe
that poison was involved,
56
00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:23,068
they most assuredly
did not take their lives.
57
00:03:23,236 --> 00:03:24,897
You saying someone else
poisoned them?
58
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:28,164
I am. Only it was unintentional.
59
00:03:28,341 --> 00:03:32,402
The Kelleys are casualties of a crime
committed elsewhere in the building.
60
00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:41,544
While it was difficult to detect beneath
the Kelleys'... How did you put it?
61
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:45,680
- Ripeness, I could smell traces
of butadiene
62
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:47,917
around the air vent in their bedroom.
63
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:50,561
And butadiene is?
64
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:53,728
Is a toxic, gaseous by-product
of burning rubber.
65
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:56,060
It's what you're smelling now.
66
00:03:56,269 --> 00:03:59,534
The rest of it dissipated days ago,
so we're in no danger.
67
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:01,934
What, you think someone
set a fire down here?
68
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:04,234
Of sorts.
69
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,679
This building
is a converted brownstone.
70
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,577
Each of the three floors above
have been turned into an apartment.
71
00:04:11,784 --> 00:04:16,812
But the vents still allocate air
from a main return line.
72
00:04:17,056 --> 00:04:20,685
Kelleys live on the first floor.
They took the brunt of the gas.
73
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:22,986
Do we know
if the other residents are okay?
74
00:04:23,229 --> 00:04:25,220
Uh, the third-floor apartment
is vacant
75
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:27,592
and the second floor is occupied,
but we checked.
76
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,892
The owner wasn't home.
77
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:31,593
Be curious to know if he owns
a pair of teal running shoes.
78
00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:32,965
Why?
79
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:37,235
Because it would mean
he was home after all.
80
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Ripped By mstoll
81
00:05:01,167 --> 00:05:04,330
So that's him.
Dead guy in the basement.
82
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:08,372
It's gonna take dental records
to confirm it, but I believe so.
83
00:05:09,008 --> 00:05:12,535
The man downstairs has the same
arrangement of moles on his hand.
84
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,609
"Clay Dubrovensky."
85
00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:18,615
He's got a doctorate in botany
and genetic engineering.
86
00:05:18,818 --> 00:05:20,809
Doesn't look like
average doctor, does he?
87
00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:24,649
No. Looks like Point Break
and Magic Mike had a baby.
88
00:05:26,559 --> 00:05:29,323
- They're, uh...
- Trifles of the cinema, I take it.
89
00:05:31,698 --> 00:05:34,963
- No Kitty today?
- She's working a case of her own.
90
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:39,570
So how's everything going?
Last time I saw you,
91
00:05:39,772 --> 00:05:43,503
- you weren't doing so well.
- I'm better. Thank you.
92
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:47,339
I still have disappointments
with regards to my sobriety,
93
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,204
but I've resumed attending meetings.
94
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:54,047
- How are you?
- Well, according to the super,
95
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:56,346
Clay Dubrovensky
was a dream tenant.
96
00:05:56,556 --> 00:05:59,354
He was living off an inheritance,
he always paid his rent on time.
97
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:02,824
His method of execution suggests
a tie to organized crime.
98
00:06:02,995 --> 00:06:05,555
- Micro-ondas.
- A.k.a. Necklacing.
99
00:06:05,798 --> 00:06:07,663
Take a tire,
you hang it on the victim's neck,
100
00:06:07,834 --> 00:06:11,065
you fill it with petroleum,
light a match.
101
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,329
Doesn't get much more cartel
than that.
102
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:16,099
I remember there were a couple
of similar murders last summer.
103
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:20,211
There have in fact been 10 killings
in New York over the last five years.
104
00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:23,177
In each case, the suspects
were soldiers for a Brazilian syndicate
105
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:26,682
called the SDS
or Sangue do Sangue.
106
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:29,788
Dubrovensky had an emergency
contact on his lease,
107
00:06:29,956 --> 00:06:31,890
a woman by the name
of Courtney Stever.
108
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:36,256
She's on her way. Maybe she can
tell us why the SDS wanted him dead.
109
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,893
And you're sure that it was Clay?
I mean, you're really sure?
110
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,967
The ME won't make an official
ruling for at least a few hours...
111
00:06:44,203 --> 00:06:46,535
It was him.
The more photographs I saw,
112
00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:51,233
the clearer it became.
Mr. Dubrovensky is quite dead.
113
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,608
Can I ask how the two of you
knew each other?
114
00:06:57,150 --> 00:07:00,779
Clay was my ex, sort of.
115
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:04,047
We broke up last year.
He was cheating on me.
116
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,054
He kind of did that a lot.
117
00:07:06,225 --> 00:07:08,921
A few months ago,
we ran into each other in a club
118
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:13,259
and, I don't know,
we just fell back into old rhythms.
119
00:07:13,966 --> 00:07:16,127
- You slept together?
- And a few weeks later
120
00:07:16,369 --> 00:07:19,099
it happened again and then again.
121
00:07:19,305 --> 00:07:24,174
We weren't back together,
but we were enjoying ourselves.
122
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:26,743
Plus,
he had excellent cannabis, no?
123
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:30,315
The evidence suggests
that he was killed by a drug cartel.
124
00:07:30,516 --> 00:07:32,780
We did find bricks of cash,
growing supplies,
125
00:07:32,985 --> 00:07:35,078
doctorates in botany and genetics.
126
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:37,950
Your ex was a grower
for the SDS cartel, was he not?
127
00:07:38,157 --> 00:07:40,455
Specifically,
a cultivator of marijuana.
128
00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:44,896
Clay did not just grow pot.
129
00:07:45,097 --> 00:07:48,123
Okay? He engineered it.
He was an artist.
130
00:07:48,334 --> 00:07:51,360
And the people that he worked for
never got that.
131
00:07:51,537 --> 00:07:52,629
What do you mean?
132
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:57,299
He told me that he started messing
with marijuana strains in grad school.
133
00:07:57,510 --> 00:08:00,673
Mixing, matching.
But he never even smoked the stuff.
134
00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:04,440
He just knew how to help it,
knew how to make it better.
135
00:08:05,051 --> 00:08:08,782
A few dealers took notice,
only they didn't wanna hurt him.
136
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,216
They wanted to hire him?
137
00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:13,654
Yeah, and he worked
for the SDS cartel ever since.
138
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:18,460
Can you think of any reason
why they would want to hurt him?
139
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:23,624
He got bored. He wanted
a real lab, real equipment.
140
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:29,706
I don't know. Maybe he just
finally pushed them too far.
141
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:41,042
This is new.
142
00:08:41,454 --> 00:08:43,820
Complete inversions
allow the human body to flush
143
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:46,753
and detoxify the adrenal glands,
which studies have linked
144
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:50,986
to more positive thinking
and an increase in reasoning skills.
145
00:08:53,065 --> 00:08:55,056
You really must try it sometime.
146
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,395
Clay Dubrovensky,
is that the name you texted me?
147
00:08:57,603 --> 00:09:01,596
Yeah. His lover was unable
to name any of his cartel associates
148
00:09:01,841 --> 00:09:03,934
but she did know that the grow house
where he worked
149
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:06,544
was, I quote,
"Somewhere in Brooklyn."
150
00:09:07,179 --> 00:09:09,739
I'm attempting to divine
its specific whereabouts.
151
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:12,473
Any luck, there will be personnel
that we can question.
152
00:09:12,685 --> 00:09:16,746
- How goes your investigation?
- I spent better part of the day
153
00:09:16,989 --> 00:09:20,186
talking to the missing girl's friends
and poking around her laptop.
154
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:24,889
I applied your many and varied
rules of observation
155
00:09:25,097 --> 00:09:27,691
and yielded a single deduction.
156
00:09:28,134 --> 00:09:31,126
- She's a brat.
- You don't think she's in danger?
157
00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:33,861
There's no doubt she's in the habit
of running away.
158
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,099
And nothing bad ever happens
to runaways.
159
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:38,072
But the evidence
would seem to suggest
160
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:40,371
that she'll just come home
when she's ready.
161
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:44,209
That said, I will renew my hunt
in the morning.
162
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:47,776
- Sure you don't want a go?
- Quite.
163
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:53,150
Ahem. Did Watson
talk to you today?
164
00:09:53,392 --> 00:09:56,259
No.
We communicated telepathically.
165
00:09:56,462 --> 00:09:58,657
Of course we spoke.
She's helping me.
166
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:00,297
Why do you ask?
167
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:02,957
She just hasn't been around
for a while.
168
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:04,466
Just say hello for me, will you?
169
00:10:20,052 --> 00:10:22,077
Hello?
170
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:24,646
Smoothie?
171
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,117
You broke into my apartment?
172
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:30,285
You break into my home
all the time.
173
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:32,795
That is because you force me to.
174
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:34,489
I think I may have found the address
175
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:36,862
of Clay Dubrovensky's
Brooklyn grow house.
176
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:40,163
- How?
- Rubles.
177
00:10:40,506 --> 00:10:42,030
There was change found in his pocket.
178
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:47,168
Three dimes, a nickel,
two coins just like this one.
179
00:10:47,346 --> 00:10:48,973
It's a five-ruble piece.
180
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:52,640
It's similar in size and texture
to an American quarter.
181
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:55,844
There were similar coins
found on his counter.
182
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,980
As you can see, they're also mixed in
with American currency.
183
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:02,719
Now, these coins are
the very opposite of collectible.
184
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:05,192
It's most likely he received them
mistakenly as change
185
00:11:05,364 --> 00:11:06,695
in a Russian neighborhood.
186
00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:10,800
There's a big Russian community
in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.
187
00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:15,004
Now, as you are no doubt aware,
a grow house would require
188
00:11:15,207 --> 00:11:18,404
an extremely high volume of grow
lamps to be running at all times.
189
00:11:18,644 --> 00:11:20,839
So with the help of the captain,
I identified
190
00:11:21,047 --> 00:11:23,709
the largest non-commercial
consumer of kilowatt hours
191
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:25,907
in the area.
192
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:29,918
He and a phalanx of ESU officers
are on their way as we speak.
193
00:11:30,156 --> 00:11:32,147
Well, I'll get dressed.
194
00:11:33,325 --> 00:11:36,055
Oh, before you do,
I think it's best if we talk.
195
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:37,593
About?
196
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:40,061
Whatever it was you wanted
to discuss with me yesterday.
197
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:45,370
You seemed quite pregnant
at Dubrovensky's apartment.
198
00:11:45,571 --> 00:11:48,039
- You've discussed it with Kitty.
- How could you...?
199
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,174
The motives of some women
are inscrutable.
200
00:11:50,342 --> 00:11:52,902
Their most trivial action
may mean volumes.
201
00:11:53,145 --> 00:11:55,136
Their most extraordinary conduct
202
00:11:55,347 --> 00:11:59,408
may depend upon a hairpin.
You two are not like that.
203
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:06,618
I'm folding
my private detective business
204
00:12:06,792 --> 00:12:09,625
and I'm going to go work for Leda.
They're a global insurance company.
205
00:12:09,795 --> 00:12:11,786
I'm gonna be one
of their in-house investigators.
206
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:17,227
I did some freelance work for them
and they were impressed
207
00:12:17,436 --> 00:12:20,530
so they asked me to join
on a more permanent basis.
208
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:23,937
This isn't really gonna change
the work that you and I do.
209
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:26,576
This balance that we've struck,
my cases,
210
00:12:26,779 --> 00:12:29,111
your cases, our cases,
that is not gonna change.
211
00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:31,374
I'm gonna have time for Leda
and the department.
212
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:33,449
That is the only way
I agreed to sign on.
213
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:38,883
- An insurance company.
- Yeah, I like the people there.
214
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:42,825
Listen, I was gonna tell you
a few weeks ago,
215
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:44,222
but you were struggling.
216
00:12:44,396 --> 00:12:46,626
And the last time I told you
I wanted to make a change,
217
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:47,891
you took off to London.
218
00:12:53,739 --> 00:12:56,799
It's the captain.
The residence we identified
219
00:12:57,009 --> 00:12:59,739
is Dubrovensky's grow house.
220
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:02,405
He's expecting us.
221
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:05,743
No one was here
when we took the door.
222
00:13:05,951 --> 00:13:09,751
Which is not so weird
in and of itself,
223
00:13:10,422 --> 00:13:13,152
but take a look at these plants.
224
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:18,424
- They're dying.
- Not all of them, but a lot.
225
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,963
At least a couple
of hundred grand's worth.
226
00:13:21,167 --> 00:13:24,796
Says to me that Dubrovensky was
the only guy who worked here.
227
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:27,837
He died, his plants started to follow.
228
00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:31,265
Only they were never his plants,
right?
229
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:34,275
They were the cartel's,
so why would they just let them die?
230
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:37,342
Perhaps they didn't know
he'd been killed.
231
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:40,542
Aren't we thinking
that they killed him?
232
00:13:40,786 --> 00:13:43,448
Are either of you familiar
with the Wutai Pingtung orchid?
233
00:13:44,523 --> 00:13:47,686
It originated in the remote
Wutai region of Taiwan.
234
00:13:47,893 --> 00:13:51,761
Development saw the extinction
of the moths that pollinated them.
235
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:54,194
The orchids died off
until only one remained,
236
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,460
making it the absolute rarest
of rare flowers.
237
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,696
There is only one living
in the entire world
238
00:14:00,906 --> 00:14:04,273
and it has an estimated value
of a quarter million dollars.
239
00:14:04,476 --> 00:14:07,707
Fascinating. What has it got
to do with any of this?
240
00:14:07,913 --> 00:14:10,473
Just over a year ago,
the Wutai Pingtung was stolen
241
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:12,810
from an international flower show.
242
00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:14,680
And it's sitting right over there.
243
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:25,595
We thought Mr. Dubrovensky
was killed over plants
244
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:27,856
that you can smoke.
245
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:30,535
Perhaps he was killed
over one you cannot.
246
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,845
Autopsy report
on Clay Dubrovensky.
247
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:47,746
I'm now quite certain
the SDS did not kill him.
248
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,613
Still think he died over a flower?
249
00:14:51,857 --> 00:14:54,417
As I explained,
this is no mere flower.
250
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,618
- This is the Wu...
- Wutai Pingtung.
251
00:14:56,862 --> 00:15:00,559
- It's rare. I get it.
- An honest politician is rare.
252
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:02,757
A marriage worth the bother is rare.
253
00:15:02,968 --> 00:15:05,596
This is the only orchid
of its kind in existence.
254
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:10,967
It says here that Dubrovensky
was dead before he was lit on fire.
255
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:13,906
Succumbed to blunt force trauma
in the back of his skull.
256
00:15:14,113 --> 00:15:17,310
But isn't the point of necklacing
to burn the victim while he's alive?
257
00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:20,941
Mm. Would've been quite sporting
of them to kill him prior to ignition.
258
00:15:21,153 --> 00:15:22,484
Maybe it was a rival gang.
259
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:25,749
They kill Dubrovensky
and then frame the SDS.
260
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,290
Cartels don't frame people.
261
00:15:27,493 --> 00:15:30,428
They sign their work repeatedly
and aggressively.
262
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:34,164
So this orchid was stolen
over a year ago by Dubrovensky?
263
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,594
That's one possibility.
264
00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:38,930
Another possibility is that he bought it
on the black market.
265
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:41,504
- There's a black market for flowers?
- Ish.
266
00:15:42,141 --> 00:15:45,577
Most transactions are completed
via online auction sites.
267
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,508
The thief lists
a more innocuous item.
268
00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:51,777
This can, for example.
269
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:54,412
And then positions it
in front of the item
270
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:57,088
that he really wishes to sell.
271
00:15:58,290 --> 00:16:00,884
To the untrained eye,
the flower looks like mere backdrop.
272
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:04,824
Okay. So, what happens
when my soda sells for $250,000?
273
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:07,931
- Won't that raise a few eyebrows?
- You keep the auction private.
274
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:12,194
And it's established beforehand
that a bid of $1 is worth $100 or 1000
275
00:16:12,404 --> 00:16:14,702
so an item that appears
to have sold for $15...
276
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:16,305
Is actually going for 15 grand.
277
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:20,434
It's possible that Dubrovensky
successfully bid on the orchid
278
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:24,605
and then the losing bidder
came looking for him.
279
00:16:25,217 --> 00:16:26,844
What about the flower's
original owner?
280
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,617
Less original owner
and more discoverer.
281
00:16:34,526 --> 00:16:37,859
I don't like him
for a flaming tire murder, do you?
282
00:16:38,630 --> 00:16:40,621
Lexi?
283
00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:44,635
Cool place.
284
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:50,303
Do you have any coffee here?
Maybe an espresso machine?
285
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:53,535
You texted me. You told me that you
might be able to help me find Tess.
286
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:55,373
Yeah, I heard you
were asking about her.
287
00:16:55,547 --> 00:16:56,878
A friend gave me your number.
288
00:16:57,516 --> 00:16:58,744
Look, she called me last week.
289
00:16:58,951 --> 00:17:01,749
She thought some guy
in a white Jaguar was following her.
290
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:04,684
I told her it was the stuff
we smoked that day
291
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:06,323
and she was paranoid.
292
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:08,187
She's been gone four days now.
293
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:10,692
Do you still think she was paranoid?
294
00:17:11,597 --> 00:17:13,997
When she called,
did she describe the driver?
295
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:18,602
No.
But I do have the license plate.
296
00:17:19,972 --> 00:17:22,406
You thought she was paranoid
yet took down the plate number?
297
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:24,166
I guess.
298
00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:30,241
Murderers.
299
00:17:31,116 --> 00:17:32,344
Who?
300
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:33,576
All of them.
301
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:36,980
Detective Bell. Barbara Conway.
302
00:17:37,189 --> 00:17:40,590
- I'm senior vice president of...
- Of AgriNext's GMO research.
303
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,626
Quite the corporate monstrosity,
AgriNext. Hmm?
304
00:17:43,862 --> 00:17:46,228
In addition to your dominance
in agricultural industries,
305
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:49,856
there is powerful evidence to suggest
that your neonicotinoid insecticides
306
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,367
are the culprits
in the ongoing bee genocide
307
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:55,301
known as colony collapse disorder.
Would you care to comment?
308
00:17:55,541 --> 00:17:57,406
When you told my assistant
you had questions,
309
00:17:57,576 --> 00:17:59,942
was that just a lie
to get in and harass me?
310
00:18:00,112 --> 00:18:03,775
Miss Conway, are you familiar
with the name Clay Dubrovensky?
311
00:18:03,949 --> 00:18:05,041
No.
312
00:18:05,217 --> 00:18:07,082
What about
the Wutai Pingtung orchid?
313
00:18:07,252 --> 00:18:08,310
I'm sorry. What?
314
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,147
You are very good
at feigning innocence.
315
00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:12,381
Perhaps it's all that lying
about the bees.
316
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:14,651
Clay Dubrovensky
was found murdered yesterday.
317
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,923
My colleagues checked
his Internet history.
318
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:19,792
They thought it might have
had something to do with the orchid.
319
00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:23,264
Instead, we found record
of him selling it.
320
00:18:23,802 --> 00:18:25,793
To you.
321
00:18:28,173 --> 00:18:31,438
Please don't ask us to believe
you paid $89 for a bureau
322
00:18:31,643 --> 00:18:34,271
that just happens to have one
of the world's rarest flowers
323
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:35,845
sitting on top of it.
324
00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:37,572
We are well aware of the codes
325
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:40,946
and price multiples employed
in such illegal transactions.
326
00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:42,484
The day after the auction ended,
327
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:44,315
Dubrovensky deposited
a cashier's check
328
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:47,357
for $89,000 into a bank account.
329
00:18:47,593 --> 00:18:50,585
You thought you were getting
the only Wutai Pingtung orchid
330
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:53,060
in the world for a virtual steal.
331
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:57,595
Only Mr. Dubrovensky never delivered.
He kept it for himself.
332
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,363
But you couldn't complain
to the auction site or the police.
333
00:19:00,606 --> 00:19:02,699
Not without admitting
that you had tried to purchase
334
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:05,105
a very valuable stolen object.
335
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:09,508
You track Mr. Dubrovensky down,
you confront him, things go poorly.
336
00:19:09,715 --> 00:19:12,980
Not sure how you knew to frame
the SDS cartel for his murder
337
00:19:13,185 --> 00:19:16,780
but perhaps you bought
furniture from him before.
338
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:19,380
You're right, I did buy that bureau.
339
00:19:19,591 --> 00:19:24,358
But if you're saying this Dubrovensky
person was the seller, okay, sure.
340
00:19:24,596 --> 00:19:26,723
I only ever knew him
by his account name.
341
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:29,525
- Miss Conway...
- He threw the flower in for free.
342
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:32,732
It's in the conference room
if you'd like to see it.
343
00:19:35,607 --> 00:19:38,007
It's one of the most beautiful things
I've ever seen.
344
00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:40,906
But I would never pay $89,000 for it.
345
00:19:41,146 --> 00:19:44,912
If you need it for your investigation,
by all means take it.
346
00:19:47,419 --> 00:19:50,855
I'm sorry I'm not the murderer
you were hoping I was.
347
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:55,150
For the last time, I've never
seen this girl before in my life.
348
00:19:55,327 --> 00:19:58,592
But you do own the vehicle
that was described to us.
349
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:01,324
The plates we were given
come back to you.
350
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:04,331
Which can only mean that someone's
playing some sort of prank.
351
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:08,033
What about this girl?
You ever seen her before?
352
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,071
This is amazing.
Why don't you show me photos
353
00:20:10,242 --> 00:20:12,039
of every missing girl in the city?
354
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:14,202
It's not like I don't have anything else
to do.
355
00:20:14,413 --> 00:20:16,938
This girl told a friend
that she saw your car
356
00:20:17,182 --> 00:20:20,618
following her last Saturday,
so if you want us to get you...
357
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:22,583
Wait, wait. Wait a second.
Last Saturday?
358
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:27,750
- Was she in Baltimore?
- No.
359
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,087
Well, that's interesting,
because I was.
360
00:20:30,295 --> 00:20:33,093
My son's lacrosse team
had a tournament. We took the Jag.
361
00:20:33,298 --> 00:20:36,392
You wanna ask me more questions,
contact my attorney.
362
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:38,968
Mr. Perryman, before you go,
363
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:44,799
has anyone ever told you
that you have a queer left thumb?
364
00:20:52,985 --> 00:20:54,646
What was that about?
365
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:56,981
I don't think he did it.
I don't think he took Tess.
366
00:20:58,490 --> 00:21:01,186
But I think I know how to find her.
367
00:21:05,397 --> 00:21:09,390
So there are two Wutai Pingtung
orchids left, not one. So what?
368
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,592
It was my understanding
that was impossible.
369
00:21:11,803 --> 00:21:14,237
And your understanding
can never be wrong?
370
00:21:15,307 --> 00:21:18,606
Did you notice these bags the AgriNext
lady left in the box with the orchid?
371
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:21,746
- Yep. They're plant food.
- So, what do you think?
372
00:21:22,614 --> 00:21:25,447
- They look hungry?
- You wish to kill them?
373
00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:28,449
- You just said this was food.
- For some other plants.
374
00:21:28,654 --> 00:21:31,452
Can you not tell by the smell?
That's ground coffee and mackerel.
375
00:21:31,657 --> 00:21:33,955
Mackerel has an extremely high
nitrogen content.
376
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:35,854
Too high for orchids.
377
00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:37,859
Miss Conway gave us that bag
by mistake.
378
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:40,624
The correct one is the other bag.
379
00:21:45,437 --> 00:21:48,668
What, were worried I was gonna
kill them before you could?
380
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:53,108
No two are the same.
381
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:56,008
- These are identical.
- Okay, how could you possibly...?
382
00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:58,842
They're root structures of plants
no older than 6 months.
383
00:21:59,017 --> 00:22:01,542
The real Wutai Pingtung
is 5 years old.
384
00:22:01,753 --> 00:22:04,119
Wait a minute, are you saying
that these are fakes?
385
00:22:04,289 --> 00:22:08,350
Clones. Mr. Dubrovensky's lover
said he had grown bored.
386
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,620
- He has doctorates in botany.
- And genetics.
387
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,695
If he never laid hands
on the original orchid
388
00:22:13,865 --> 00:22:15,162
he at least acquired a cutting.
389
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,326
That would've been more than enough
to make him the floral forger.
390
00:22:18,503 --> 00:22:20,528
The AgriNext exec,
Barbara Conway.
391
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:23,072
Maybe she realized she bought a fake,
and confronted him.
392
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,004
Dubrovensky
could've produced dozens,
393
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:28,271
which means his scam could've
been executed dozens of times.
394
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,778
Miss Conway should return
to our suspect list.
395
00:22:30,982 --> 00:22:34,383
But we should also look
for evidence of other victims.
396
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:37,782
- What are you doing?
- Well, they may be fakes
397
00:22:37,989 --> 00:22:41,584
but they're still beautiful.
I am going to water them.
398
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:49,591
It occurs to me
I haven't congratulated you
399
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:53,601
on your new venture
with the insurance company, Leda.
400
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:58,537
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
401
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:02,942
I understand
why you waited to tell me. Um...
402
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:05,410
I do tend to react poorly to change.
403
00:23:05,617 --> 00:23:08,916
Well, like I said,
this shouldn't be much change at all.
404
00:23:09,121 --> 00:23:10,918
I'll still be at the precinct
all the time.
405
00:23:11,089 --> 00:23:13,387
Even if you weren't,
it's your life, Watson.
406
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,083
I've no right to a monopoly.
407
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:21,065
Uh, the truth is, I've been considering
a change of my own.
408
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:25,032
Mm. It's completely unrelated
to your news, I assure you,
409
00:23:25,203 --> 00:23:28,400
but it has been weighing on my mind
and I thought I should apprise you of it.
410
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:31,937
- Um, isn't that your phone?
- It can wait.
411
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:38,249
- It's Captain Gregson. Hello.
- Is Holmes with you?
412
00:23:38,450 --> 00:23:41,044
- Yeah, he's right here.
- I thought you two
413
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:45,121
would wanna know there were
two more necklace murders tonight.
414
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:48,221
The killers left a message this time.
415
00:23:49,861 --> 00:23:51,453
Portuguese vernacular.
416
00:23:51,663 --> 00:23:54,655
It colloquially translates
as "This means war."
417
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:57,130
Usually I would've figured
it was for another gang
418
00:23:57,769 --> 00:24:01,068
but this is the opposite
of gang territory.
419
00:24:01,273 --> 00:24:06,074
I'm standing in front of the AgriNext
corporate headquarters in Whitestone.
420
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:08,746
- You guys were here today, right?
- We were.
421
00:24:08,947 --> 00:24:13,975
I'm gonna go out on a limb here
and say this wasn't a coincidence.
422
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:21,954
William Keller, AgriNext's CFO.
423
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:26,124
And this is Nelson Shelby,
one of their board of directors.
424
00:24:26,765 --> 00:24:29,700
Now, as far as we can tell,
they were abducted as they reached
425
00:24:29,901 --> 00:24:33,997
their residences last night,
presumably by members of the SDS.
426
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:37,300
But why does the cartel
wanna kill off AgriNext executives?
427
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:40,967
I talked to a company spokesman.
The official line is "no idea."
428
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:44,604
But off the record, their best
guess is political retaliation.
429
00:24:44,816 --> 00:24:47,284
Brazil's a billion-dollar market
for AgriNext,
430
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:49,477
so they pump millions
into local elections.
431
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:51,679
Buys them influence
over policy decisions.
432
00:24:51,923 --> 00:24:55,415
Guy says sometimes the drug cartels
don't like the candidates they back.
433
00:24:55,627 --> 00:24:58,460
That's bollocks.
On the record and off.
434
00:24:58,630 --> 00:25:01,360
In your experience, detective,
how often does the party
435
00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:05,367
on the receiving end
of a cartel assassination say:
436
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:07,970
"If only we knew what we'd done
to upset them"? No.
437
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:10,972
When a criminal organization
sends a violent message
438
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:14,043
it does so with a certainty
that that message is clear.
439
00:25:14,246 --> 00:25:16,646
AgriNext knows
and they're just not telling us.
440
00:25:16,848 --> 00:25:19,248
You guys were at AgriNext
yesterday.
441
00:25:19,484 --> 00:25:21,179
You talk to another executive?
442
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:24,220
Yeah. We thought she might
have something to do with the murder.
443
00:25:24,389 --> 00:25:25,913
- She?
- Her name is Barbara Conway
444
00:25:26,091 --> 00:25:27,854
and she runs the GMO.
445
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:30,254
Well, she's in the clear
for these two.
446
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:33,089
Witness saw a Hispanic male
light them up.
447
00:25:33,331 --> 00:25:35,595
Thirties.
We're getting a sketch going.
448
00:25:35,834 --> 00:25:38,268
Maybe he's also the guy
who did Dubrovensky.
449
00:25:38,503 --> 00:25:43,668
The rope used to bind the victims'
hands and feet, it's intact.
450
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:46,708
And most rope would disintegrate
at the temperature of a burning tire.
451
00:25:46,912 --> 00:25:49,574
This is para-aramid rope.
452
00:25:49,781 --> 00:25:53,740
It's made for the express purpose
of resisting extreme heat.
453
00:25:53,985 --> 00:25:58,081
It's a logical choice for an organization
in the habit of burning people, right?
454
00:25:58,290 --> 00:25:59,951
Can't be too many places
that sell this.
455
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:02,423
Military surplus,
fire and rescue gear.
456
00:26:02,594 --> 00:26:04,721
I'll make a few calls
and get that sketch out there.
457
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:07,729
You will recall, however,
that Clay Dubrovensky
458
00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:10,094
was not bound
with para-aramid rope.
459
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:12,930
Further suggesting
he was not killed by the cartel.
460
00:26:13,104 --> 00:26:15,038
You still like Barbara Conway?
461
00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:17,868
Watson and I still believe
that she had motive to want him dead.
462
00:26:18,043 --> 00:26:20,375
Plus, she worked with these two.
463
00:26:22,514 --> 00:26:26,245
You're right, I was not entirely
forthcoming with you yesterday.
464
00:26:27,385 --> 00:26:31,378
I started collecting flowers
10 years ago.
465
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:34,559
I'd been promoted,
I was making real money.
466
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:37,455
I could afford an expensive hobby.
467
00:26:37,662 --> 00:26:39,653
So you admit you thought
you were buying the real
468
00:26:39,898 --> 00:26:42,628
Wutai Pingtung orchid
from Mr. Dubrovensky.
469
00:26:42,834 --> 00:26:45,962
It was the craziest thing I'd ever done,
but it was so beautiful.
470
00:26:46,171 --> 00:26:49,038
It was so unique that I...
471
00:26:50,075 --> 00:26:53,272
Eventually I realized it was a fake,
just like you said.
472
00:26:53,478 --> 00:26:56,242
And you'd been conned
out of 89 grand.
473
00:26:56,448 --> 00:27:01,044
That was nothing to me.
I know how that sounds, but it's true.
474
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:05,853
Besides, I wasn't angry.
I was impressed.
475
00:27:06,091 --> 00:27:09,959
Duplicating something
as delicate as that orchid,
476
00:27:10,161 --> 00:27:13,153
something as complex, it's...
477
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:15,925
It's more than a science. It's an art.
478
00:27:16,601 --> 00:27:19,764
I showed it to a few of my colleagues,
and they agreed.
479
00:27:19,971 --> 00:27:23,429
I used the company's resources
to track Clay down.
480
00:27:23,642 --> 00:27:27,442
I offered him a job at AgriNext.
481
00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:30,945
That's when I found out
about his other business.
482
00:27:31,116 --> 00:27:33,482
He told you he was a grower
for the SDS.
483
00:27:33,685 --> 00:27:35,812
How did that go over
with the Human Resources?
484
00:27:37,789 --> 00:27:40,223
It made us want him even more.
485
00:27:40,959 --> 00:27:43,223
It's nothing we've been advertising,
486
00:27:43,461 --> 00:27:47,022
but AgriNext has been preparing
for legalized marijuana for years.
487
00:27:47,198 --> 00:27:50,292
As soon as the legislation catches up,
we'll be ready to move.
488
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:54,165
So you wanted to hire him,
but he already had an employer.
489
00:27:54,372 --> 00:27:57,739
It was complicated. Clay was excited
about the possibility of going legit,
490
00:27:57,976 --> 00:28:00,740
not to mention getting his hands
on AgriNext's resources.
491
00:28:00,979 --> 00:28:03,038
He knew he could do great things
with us,
492
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:07,708
but he couldn't just quit the SDS.
We had to buy him out.
493
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:10,547
So you entered into a negotiation
with a drug cartel.
494
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:15,353
Right. Decorum forbids me
from showing my emotions
495
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:18,394
during an interview such as this one,
but I assure you, on the inside
496
00:28:18,563 --> 00:28:20,554
I am doubled over with laughter.
497
00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:24,565
Clay went to the cartel.
They set a price.
498
00:28:24,769 --> 00:28:26,760
Ten million dollars.
499
00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:29,030
The company countered at five.
500
00:28:29,207 --> 00:28:31,641
And now "inside me"
is soiling himself.
501
00:28:32,444 --> 00:28:34,844
He called me
the night he was killed.
502
00:28:35,046 --> 00:28:37,879
He told me that he was
gonna meet with the cartel,
503
00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:40,176
tell them to accept the offer.
504
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:41,443
Because he had decided
505
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:45,214
that he was gonna come and work
for our company, no matter what.
506
00:28:45,423 --> 00:28:47,550
Obviously,
they didn't appreciate that.
507
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,021
They killed him,
508
00:28:49,194 --> 00:28:51,185
and then they killed Nelson
and William last night
509
00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:52,454
for good measure.
510
00:28:52,664 --> 00:28:55,189
These higher-ups you mentioned,
511
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,301
can we assume that they'll confirm
everything you just told us?
512
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:03,966
If they don't,
I have the memos that will.
513
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:16,444
Morning, Tess.
514
00:29:18,223 --> 00:29:22,057
- Who the hell are you?
- I'm a friend of your mum's.
515
00:29:22,794 --> 00:29:25,786
I know what you're trying to do.
Lexi told me everything.
516
00:29:25,964 --> 00:29:28,558
This is her aunt's apartment.
517
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:31,429
Her aunt who's away
for the next few months.
518
00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:34,230
She gave you a key,
you gave her a license plate number
519
00:29:34,405 --> 00:29:37,340
that would lead any
and all interested parties to a man
520
00:29:37,509 --> 00:29:39,602
by the name of Grant Perryman.
521
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:42,337
I know he's your father, Tess.
522
00:29:43,081 --> 00:29:45,743
- He's not my father.
- He is.
523
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:49,318
He just also happens
to be your mother's rapist.
524
00:29:53,324 --> 00:29:56,487
That must've been really hard
finding out. I'm sorry.
525
00:29:57,462 --> 00:30:00,727
Then go. And don't tell anyone
you found me.
526
00:30:00,932 --> 00:30:02,297
I can't.
527
00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:11,033
She was only a few years older
than me.
528
00:30:11,242 --> 00:30:13,767
She'd never even...
529
00:30:17,048 --> 00:30:22,680
He got her drunk at a party,
and he, uh...
530
00:30:24,122 --> 00:30:27,148
She was afraid. And stupid.
531
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:29,189
I mean, she didn't tell anyone
for weeks.
532
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,818
When she did, she couldn't prove it.
533
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:35,522
His parents were so rich,
they offered a settlement anyway.
534
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:40,261
All my mother had to do
was keep her mouth shut.
535
00:30:41,706 --> 00:30:43,674
She did.
536
00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:45,570
She was so good at it,
537
00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:49,337
she didn't even tell them
when she found out she was pregnant.
538
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:52,142
That's why I didn't recognize
your picture the other day.
539
00:30:52,684 --> 00:30:54,675
How did you recognize him?
540
00:30:54,886 --> 00:30:57,787
- Did my mom tell you?
- I have this friend.
541
00:30:57,989 --> 00:31:02,517
He has a habit of drilling all sorts
of facts into my head.
542
00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:07,320
Did you know, for example,
that 0.4 percent of Caucasians
543
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:09,523
have brachydactyly type D thumbs.
544
00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:13,098
Also called clubbed thumbs.
545
00:31:13,338 --> 00:31:15,568
Of those, three-quarters
have them on both hands,
546
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:17,798
but I couldn't help noticing
in your pictures
547
00:31:18,009 --> 00:31:22,343
that you have a type D thumb
on your left hand only.
548
00:31:24,515 --> 00:31:26,176
Just like Grant Perryman.
549
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:32,519
Your mum
put everything behind her,
550
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:34,419
but you wanted
to dredge it all up again
551
00:31:34,592 --> 00:31:38,756
and force her to talk about it,
to the press and to the police.
552
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:41,397
Everyone would find out
exactly what kind of man he is.
553
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,091
- He deserves it.
- But your mum doesn't.
554
00:31:45,637 --> 00:31:48,401
What she went through was terrible.
555
00:31:48,606 --> 00:31:51,074
It was unspeakable.
556
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,943
But she chose to focus on the good
in her life. She chose you.
557
00:31:58,116 --> 00:32:00,744
And your mum wanted
to make sure...
558
00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:17,766
According to these memos, everything
Barbara Conway told us was true.
559
00:32:17,969 --> 00:32:20,563
I mean, the language
is deliberately vague
560
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:23,468
and they never refer
to the cartel by name,
561
00:32:23,675 --> 00:32:26,872
but it's pretty obvious that AgriNext
wanted Dubrovensky
562
00:32:27,078 --> 00:32:29,103
on the company payroll.
563
00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:31,441
Maybe we were wrong
about the murder.
564
00:32:31,649 --> 00:32:33,947
Maybe it really was the SDS.
565
00:32:34,152 --> 00:32:38,145
They wanted to burn him alive,
but there was a struggle
566
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:40,380
and he died from a blow to the skull.
567
00:32:41,192 --> 00:32:44,184
The killers still had
to sign their work.
568
00:32:44,829 --> 00:32:47,923
Utterly and annoyingly possible.
569
00:32:48,833 --> 00:32:52,462
Mm. Why does it smell
like coffee and fish in here?
570
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:55,201
Is that the plant food
that Barbara Conway gave us?
571
00:32:55,406 --> 00:32:57,169
The one that you said
would kill the orchid?
572
00:32:57,342 --> 00:33:01,005
Mm-hm. While it might be
an annoyance to your senses,
573
00:33:01,212 --> 00:33:03,043
it is an onslaught to mine.
574
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:04,476
I was hoping that the barrage
575
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:07,947
might trigger some new thoughts,
but so far, mm-mm...
576
00:33:11,356 --> 00:33:14,519
We never finished our conversation
the other night.
577
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:17,723
Yeah, you said you wanted
to make a change.
578
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:21,560
You know how much I value you.
579
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,533
I've made that clear
on numerous occasions,
580
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:28,137
sometimes embarrassingly so.
581
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:32,306
You've been a good friend
and a good partner.
582
00:33:33,244 --> 00:33:35,235
It was you, in fact,
that helped me understand
583
00:33:35,446 --> 00:33:38,745
the concept of partnership,
the value of it.
584
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:42,942
- Are you leaving New York again?
- No, quite the opposite.
585
00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:47,084
I don't understand.
What is the change you wanna make?
586
00:33:48,459 --> 00:33:50,757
Kitty, I'm sure you'll agree,
587
00:33:50,995 --> 00:33:53,759
has made an excellent protégée.
588
00:33:54,665 --> 00:33:58,465
But I believe that a matriculation
is in order.
589
00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:02,967
So you wanna make Kitty
your new partner.
590
00:34:03,174 --> 00:34:06,905
That she had the makings of
a detective was never in doubt.
591
00:34:07,111 --> 00:34:10,774
But I confess to having my concerns
regarding her history.
592
00:34:11,249 --> 00:34:15,515
The many traumas visited upon her.
593
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:21,289
And I was certain that it would
take time to develop her. Years.
594
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,488
I was wrong. Mostly thanks to you.
595
00:34:26,531 --> 00:34:28,897
Your instruction has been crucial,
596
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:32,536
and in certain areas,
more crucial than mine.
597
00:34:34,772 --> 00:34:37,366
I'm proud of her, Watson.
598
00:34:37,542 --> 00:34:39,032
I think she's ready.
599
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:44,203
Wow. I, um...
600
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:47,745
I'm happy for her. And you.
601
00:34:47,952 --> 00:34:49,385
I think it's a great idea.
602
00:34:57,395 --> 00:34:59,829
The other day you made reference
to the balance we'd struck:
603
00:35:00,064 --> 00:35:02,965
Your cases, my cases, our cases.
604
00:35:03,167 --> 00:35:05,431
- This won't change that.
- It's Marcus.
605
00:35:05,636 --> 00:35:08,332
He says they've got the guy
who killed the AgriNext execs.
606
00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:12,435
That tip about the rope
paid dividends.
607
00:35:12,643 --> 00:35:14,406
Marcus canvassed the shops
that sell it,
608
00:35:14,579 --> 00:35:16,843
and one of the owners
remembered this guy,
609
00:35:17,048 --> 00:35:19,983
Marco Gonçalves,
coming in to buy a bunch of it.
610
00:35:20,184 --> 00:35:22,982
Security cameras outside the store
caught his license plate.
611
00:35:23,187 --> 00:35:26,350
We put a FINEST message out,
and a radio car got lucky.
612
00:35:26,591 --> 00:35:29,424
Now, the prints place him
at the AgriNext executives' murders.
613
00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:30,652
So does the witness.
614
00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:33,194
I take it from the legal pad,
he's writing his confession.
615
00:35:33,831 --> 00:35:36,766
In addition to copping
to killing the AgriNext execs,
616
00:35:36,968 --> 00:35:38,993
he wants to take credit
for a dozen other hits.
617
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:41,832
He's trying to maximize
his value to the SDS,
618
00:35:42,073 --> 00:35:43,506
absorb as many charges as he can
619
00:35:43,674 --> 00:35:45,642
since he already knows
he's going away for life.
620
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:47,107
But here's the thing.
621
00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:50,805
Only murder he won't take the rap for
is Clay Dubrovensky's.
622
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:53,314
He does seem to have an idea
as to who did do it,
623
00:35:53,484 --> 00:35:54,951
but he won't give us a name.
624
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:57,144
Best guess right now
is a rival cartel.
625
00:35:57,321 --> 00:36:00,119
Maybe they identified Sangue
do Sangue's grower in New York
626
00:36:00,291 --> 00:36:02,282
and killed him
to mess with their business.
627
00:36:03,361 --> 00:36:05,625
We'll keep you posted.
628
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:09,992
You said the other night
629
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:12,728
that if another cartel
killed Dubrovensky,
630
00:36:12,904 --> 00:36:14,838
they would've signed their work.
631
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:18,338
A cartel would.
A corporation would not.
632
00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:21,808
Hey, take everything Barbara
Conway told us and flip it.
633
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:24,641
Dubrovensky didn't tell the SDS
he wanted out of the deal.
634
00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:27,306
He told AgriNext.
They were the ones who got angry.
635
00:36:27,518 --> 00:36:29,884
Perhaps they were worried
he knew too much.
636
00:36:30,121 --> 00:36:33,147
Or they didn't wanna have to compete
with his weed further down the line.
637
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:36,884
Well, either way, they framed the SDS
and the cartel retaliated.
638
00:36:37,128 --> 00:36:40,188
Immolating two of the top brass,
and leaving them on an AgriNext lawn.
639
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:44,533
I propose another conversation
with Miss Conway.
640
00:36:44,735 --> 00:36:47,761
If she wasn't a part of what happened,
perhaps she can tell us who was.
641
00:36:48,005 --> 00:36:50,906
Did you give Dubrovensky's
ex-girlfriend my number?
642
00:36:51,075 --> 00:36:52,736
You know I don't like
to give out my own.
643
00:36:52,910 --> 00:36:54,741
Well, she wants to talk.
Says it's important.
644
00:36:54,912 --> 00:36:59,281
A case of the munchies, perhaps.
You go. I'll locate Miss Conway.
645
00:37:00,551 --> 00:37:01,643
Hey.
646
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,953
I wasn't sure you'd come.
647
00:37:04,655 --> 00:37:06,646
Why did you want me
to meet you here?
648
00:37:06,857 --> 00:37:08,119
The super lives next door.
649
00:37:08,292 --> 00:37:09,953
Only he won't let me
into Clay's apartment
650
00:37:10,161 --> 00:37:12,095
unless someone
from the department signs off.
651
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:15,392
And why do you wanna go
inside Clay's apartment?
652
00:37:17,969 --> 00:37:21,200
Clay gave me this.
He made it. He grew it.
653
00:37:21,405 --> 00:37:22,963
It's a yellow clivia.
654
00:37:24,275 --> 00:37:26,266
When you texted me,
you said it was important.
655
00:37:26,477 --> 00:37:28,911
He used to give me special food.
Even after we broke up.
656
00:37:29,113 --> 00:37:31,411
He made it himself. And it's inside.
657
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:35,083
I thought that maybe
if you spoke to the super...
658
00:37:37,788 --> 00:37:40,279
You must think I'm an idiot,
starting up again
659
00:37:40,491 --> 00:37:42,550
with a guy who cheated on me
660
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,820
getting sentimental
about a flower he gave me.
661
00:37:46,063 --> 00:37:48,759
Well, I'm not here to judge you.
662
00:37:50,434 --> 00:37:53,403
You know
what the really stupid thing is?
663
00:37:53,604 --> 00:37:55,731
Is that he gave these
to all the girls.
664
00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:59,275
- What do you mean?
- Girls he was sleeping with.
665
00:37:59,443 --> 00:38:03,243
He would give them a yellow clivia.
Just like mine.
666
00:38:04,482 --> 00:38:06,245
It's like his move.
667
00:38:06,417 --> 00:38:08,442
He told me that
when we started hooking up again.
668
00:38:08,619 --> 00:38:10,086
I probably should've been mad,
669
00:38:10,254 --> 00:38:11,915
but we weren't back together,
you know?
670
00:38:12,089 --> 00:38:14,717
I actually thought
it was kind of funny.
671
00:38:20,798 --> 00:38:22,698
Found it.
672
00:38:22,867 --> 00:38:24,801
Plant food.
673
00:38:25,369 --> 00:38:27,360
Like I told you, it's gross.
674
00:38:27,605 --> 00:38:29,596
- It smells like coffee and...
- Fish.
675
00:38:29,807 --> 00:38:33,834
It's Clay's special recipe.
Made just for the clivia.
676
00:38:41,852 --> 00:38:43,717
- Watson.
- Hey.
677
00:38:43,888 --> 00:38:45,515
Conway's coming
to the station tomorrow?
678
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:46,987
Yes.
679
00:38:47,191 --> 00:38:49,523
She claims to have no knowledge
of an AgriNext conspiracy
680
00:38:49,694 --> 00:38:51,389
to kill Dubrovensky,
681
00:38:51,629 --> 00:38:53,756
but she has a few ideas
as to who might.
682
00:38:53,964 --> 00:38:56,057
That's because you were right
all along.
683
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:58,495
She's the one who did it.
684
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:07,334
Please, take a seat.
685
00:39:08,913 --> 00:39:13,577
- Is Mr. Holmes coming?
- No. It's just us today.
686
00:39:17,054 --> 00:39:19,181
He caught me off guard last night.
687
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:23,521
This idea that someone
from AgriNext may have killed Clay.
688
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:28,222
But the more I thought about it,
the more I wondered.
689
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:30,390
The company's been accused
of much worse.
690
00:39:30,601 --> 00:39:34,037
- Usually overseas, but still...
- I know it was you, Barbara.
691
00:39:34,572 --> 00:39:37,905
- Excuse me?
- I know you killed Clay.
692
00:39:38,809 --> 00:39:40,436
When you gave us the orchid
the other day,
693
00:39:40,611 --> 00:39:45,014
you accidentally included
some food for a yellow clivia,
694
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:47,275
a very special one
that Clay gave you.
695
00:39:47,451 --> 00:39:48,918
The two of you were involved.
696
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,452
I don't see how that has anything
to do with what you...
697
00:39:51,622 --> 00:39:54,955
I don't think you planned to kill him.
That's important.
698
00:39:55,126 --> 00:39:57,287
You realized he was sleeping
with his ex,
699
00:39:57,461 --> 00:39:59,122
and you confronted him.
700
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:00,388
But it didn't go well.
701
00:40:02,266 --> 00:40:03,756
I think I should call my lawyer.
702
00:40:03,934 --> 00:40:06,300
You could, but I wouldn't.
703
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:08,131
He'll tell you to leave.
704
00:40:08,372 --> 00:40:10,966
And this is your one, best chance
to show contrition,
705
00:40:11,475 --> 00:40:12,806
to try and make people understand
706
00:40:12,977 --> 00:40:16,640
that you did not mean to kill Clay
or the Kelleys.
707
00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:21,948
Like I said, I don't think you went
to Clay's that night
708
00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:24,747
with the intention of killing him.
709
00:40:25,055 --> 00:40:27,717
You didn't show up
with a hollowed-out tire
710
00:40:27,892 --> 00:40:31,658
which means you had to go out
and get one right after it happened.
711
00:40:31,896 --> 00:40:33,887
Now, my colleagues
are combing the area
712
00:40:34,064 --> 00:40:36,123
around Clay's apartment right now.
713
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:39,666
It is only a matter of time before
someone recognizes your picture.
714
00:40:40,471 --> 00:40:43,167
Now, they know I'm talking
to you right now, Barbara.
715
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:45,405
So the longer you wait,
716
00:40:45,576 --> 00:40:47,669
and the more you make them work
for this,
717
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:50,278
the harder it's gonna be for you.
718
00:40:58,989 --> 00:41:01,184
I kept it.
719
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:03,791
The clivia.
720
00:41:04,595 --> 00:41:07,120
I know how crazy that sounds,
721
00:41:08,799 --> 00:41:10,790
but I loved him.
722
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,531
Would it have been more satisfying
to eviscerate a corporate behemoth?
723
00:41:16,707 --> 00:41:18,834
Unquestionably.
But the true killer has confessed.
724
00:41:19,009 --> 00:41:20,203
We can ask for little more.
725
00:41:20,444 --> 00:41:23,538
- I know. It's just...
- You're doing that wrong. Sorry.
726
00:41:23,781 --> 00:41:26,477
Kitty's agreed to take part
in an exercise.
727
00:41:26,650 --> 00:41:30,142
Have you told her
about the, uh, matriculation yet?
728
00:41:30,354 --> 00:41:32,686
Nope,
but it is on today's agenda.
729
00:41:32,923 --> 00:41:35,687
Well, I'm working at Leda today,
730
00:41:35,926 --> 00:41:37,553
so maybe I'll come by
with some pizzas,
731
00:41:37,728 --> 00:41:40,060
and offer my congratulations
in person.
732
00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:44,057
The captain's calling me.
Do you wish to hold?
733
00:41:44,301 --> 00:41:47,202
No. Take it. I'll see you later.
734
00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:51,066
- Captain.
- A body just turned up.
735
00:41:51,308 --> 00:41:53,970
- I need you at the scene.
- Right, we'll leave immediately.
736
00:41:54,178 --> 00:41:57,079
No. Just you.
737
00:42:01,151 --> 00:42:04,245
Her name is Melanie Vilkas,
24 years old.
738
00:42:04,488 --> 00:42:06,547
She went missing a few days ago.
739
00:42:06,724 --> 00:42:10,091
Whoever took her kept her alive
until last night
740
00:42:10,327 --> 00:42:12,454
and then he dumped her.
741
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:15,590
And the reason
I couldn't bring Kitty with me?
742
00:42:15,766 --> 00:42:18,758
Take a look at her back.
743
00:42:25,342 --> 00:42:29,039
They're the same markings I saw
in those files you gave me,
744
00:42:29,213 --> 00:42:32,205
the same ones
that are on Kitty's back.
745
00:42:33,083 --> 00:42:36,416
So the man who hurt her
is here in New York.
