The story you are about to see was inspired by actual events.
The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
It was Tuesday morning. It was warm in Los Angeles.
My partner and I were working the day shift at a robbery homicide.
The call came in at 10 .15.
Robbery. A jewelry store in Westwood. But not just robbery. A customer down.
Shot in the head.
The jewelry store was on a block of high -end shops, the kind of place that once
upon a time was called Carriage Trade.
You had to be good to pull this off.
This neighborhood, you don't do a smash and grab through the window.
On the other hand, if you're really good, you don't leave a dead body
My name's Friday.
I'm a cop.
They left a lot behind.
They got something.
They didn't do this and take nothing for their trouble.
The dead man was named Arthur Canrinus. He lived on the other side of the city
in Sherman Oaks.
The West L .A. detective filled us in.
Canrinus was killed while silently sitting on the floor.
Point blank to the head?
These weren't just robbers. They were cold -blooded machines.
They wore ski masks.
One of them put a gun in my face and pushed me in here.
He made me open this safe.
They knew what was in it.
The special pieces that had just arrived for Oscar night.
Describe what we're talking about.
Several necklaces, sets of earrings, a diamond tiara.
Have you heard of the Tia of Aragon? It's a very famous diamond.
Total value?
Altogether, we have a neighborhood of 40, 45?
Million?
When Whoopi Goldberg hosted in 99, she wore $41 million worth of Harry Winston.
Oh, there's only one guard out front. A second guard was due tomorrow.
That's when the jewels were originally supposed to come in from New York. So
they arrived one day early.
We'll need a list of those privy to that little fact.
Of course, that would include a number of actresses, some of their people, my
employees.
There's one more thing.
That safe, the one they ignored, it's a dummy. It holds
replicas, fakes.
The tear diamond?
Only this one does not cut glass.
It is glass.
And they knew it.
A well -planned job, but someone got shot.
We thought the store guard might be able to tell us why.
What happened in there?
He shot and I grabbed him.
Reflex, I guess.
His partner hit me with his gun.
Tried to stay on my feet and back away, but he hit me again and I went down.
Victim try to run for it? Never move.
He shot him for no reason.
Did he say something?
Nothing. Guy looked at him and shot him.
Cold.
Robber number one takes the manager into the back, leaves number two at the
front.
Number three stays with customers.
Something tells me they've done this before.
Look at the guns.
All identical Sig Sauer 40s. These guys came well equipped.
All totally worked out until then.
Number two walks over to the guy on the floor, takes off his glasses, and bang,
shoots him for no reason. Ouch.
The guard grabs number two, and number one runs back in.
The guy who's running the show, he completely loses it. Hits him, hits him
again, scoops up the shell casings.
Grace under pressure.
Well, the Vic must have said something.
Not according to witnesses.
Rewind that, please.
I can have frames blown up if you need a closer look. A closer look at math
won't help me. I'm seeing plenty.
Same shoes.
Same six -hour automatic. Same clothes.
Number one.
That's our guy.
He's vicious.
Control freak.
He's a planner.
Smart.
It's a three -man takedown. They go in, hit fast. They're efficient, getting
what they want. And then for some reason, one of them takes the glasses
customer and puts a slug between his eyes.
He must have provoked them.
Witnesses say he didn't open his mouth.
Trigger happy robber? Doesn't go with efficient.
Why was this customer shot?
I don't know.
We're thinking they weren't working alone.
The jewels came in a day early and they knew about it.
Inside job. We're interviewing possible insiders. One of your possibles just got
upgraded to probable.
Clerk at the store, Gary Cowgill.
Coworker let slip. Gary's had some gambling problems.
Two bookies, 30 grand in debt.
I knew I'd end up here.
Why is that, Gary?
How do you think they had inside help?
Well, why you?
I've had a gambling problem.
I'm sure you knew that.
These jewels came in a day early.
Did you know about that?
Along with everyone else. I could settle a lot of debt filling that type of
information. I'm turning my life around. The last thing I want is this kind of
grief over a bunch of stolen jewels.
And a murder.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Art seemed like a real nice guy.
Art?
Arthur Canrinas, the guy that got shot.
Yes, he'd been in several times over the past couple weeks looking for an
anniversary gift.
I was trying to interest him in a pair of emerald earrings.
Kept coming back.
Mm -hmm.
Why had he kept coming back?
Arthur Canrinas had been to LaPori Jewelers several times.
Why did he visit the crime scene over and over before the crime?
He wanted an anniversary present.
After all those visits, why had he never bought it?
Mrs. Canrinas, you have an anniversary come out, don't you?
Anniversary?
No.
Our anniversary is seven months away.
Really? Well, the clerk must have been mistaken.
How long were you married?
It would have been our fourth.
This woman had no idea why her husband was shopping for jewelry.
Was he buying it for someone else?
Or was Arthur Canrinus in that store for another reason?
He's so stupid, just takes it all away.
Your husband was quite a sports fan.
He made his hobby into his work.
He opened a store with collectibles and fine memorabilia, you know, that sort of
thing. Do you know any of his friends, colleagues, people he's associated with?
Some.
Any of them maybe have any trouble with the law?
What? Our questions have to go in a lot of different directions.
But why?
I mean, you don't think that Arthur was involved with it? No, no, Ms. Kanerinos.
We're just trying to solve his murder.
Canrinas rears his head on the federal search.
A victim has a record? A federal employment record. Up until five years
worked for the Treasury Department.
Secret service.
Plenty of chances for colorful contact.
Or temptations.
You think he went to the other side?
I don't know. Who can say? But it's odd.
He quit four years shy of a federal pension.
We called the Treasury Department. Arthur Canrinas had worked undercover
investigating white -collar crime.
His former boss came in to see us. He was a traditional guy.
Always wanted a family.
Tough proposition when you're working undercover.
What kind of cases?
Credit cards, electronic funds, counterfeit.
Treasury cash is pretty wide net.
It was the kind of a case that made Art realize he had to get out.
Why is that?
Undercover gets real dicey.
You get sniffed out, they'll put bullets in you. So he wanted a family, but not
with the job.
Seems like he never told his wife about his past.
When he met her, she was a librarian.
She had no understanding of the world Art was from. He didn't want to scare
off.
Actually, the last time I saw him, he said he was going to tell her.
Enough time had passed, and he felt safe.
I guess he never got the chance.
Maybe she'd like a call from an old colleague, huh?
Better she hear it from you than read it in some newspaper down the line.
Yeah.
Okay, thank you very much. We'll get right on it.
Katerina, it's a sports memorabilia business, cleared six figures three
a row. Well, maybe he was there buying jewelry.
So why'd they shoot him?
Let's look at the one thing we do know. Robber number two took off Ken Renis'
glasses. I get it. Like you recognized him.
You're thinking the shooter knew him. Maybe someone he put away when he was
working undercover.
You know what I think happened?
Arthur Ken Renis was an innocent bystander. Had nothing to do with the
Wrong place at the wrong time. Guys, there's someone out in the lobby asking
leads on the Lepore robbery.
Says she's the PI for the insurance company.
Go. I'll work Ken Renis.
I'm Detective Frank Smith.
Can I help you?
I'm hoping we can help each other, actually.
I'm Katrina Fleury, working in investigation and recovery for Simpsons
Simpsons Guest?
The underwriters for the Lepore Jewels.
Really?
So the insurance company has hired a PI.
Yes.
I'm really a specialist in the recovery of artworks, antique jewelry.
I would like it if we could stay and close out on this. I'm staying at the
peninsula.
My cell's on the back.
Right. Sure.
The recovery of the gems is naturally very important to me.
Well, it's too bad we can't recover Arthur Canrinus.
I'm sorry?
There was a homicide?
Oh, of course.
I'm jet lag. I must have forgotten the names.
I just wanted us to meet, so that if I call you, you have a say to go with the
boys. Yeah.
Doesn't look like a P .I. More like a bond girl.
Arthur Canrinas put dozens of people behind bars, mostly white -collar,
for a thief named Thomas Rector.
Jewel thief?
Banks, bear bonds, jewels. Mr. Rector didn't discriminate.
Guess where he's living?
L .A.
Credit card check. Paid for a hotel room two days ago near Skid Row.
So wait, the guy just pulls $40 million in jewels and flops on Skid Row?
Professional criminals stay in places like this when they're broke.
Thomas Rector wouldn't be living here if he had any money.
If this was what I thought it was, I figured Rector was just biding his time,
waiting for his share of the Lepori robbery, waiting for whoever planned the
to sell the jewels.
When the payoff came through...
Rector would be out of here fast.
Vegas, Reno, chorus girls and gambling.
Blowing all the money he had just earned.
Rector?
Rector!
I told you.
Haven't seen him in the past couple of days.
Give me the keys.
6 hour 40.
Same gun used as a robber's.
Suicide, huh?
All very convenient.
You didn't have to be a genius to see this one.
A Sig Sauer .40 on the floor.
Thomas Rector had been one of the three armed robbers at the Lepore holdup.
Someone had worked hard to make it look like suicide.
Sig .40. Full clip.
Minus the .18.
Same as the gun used on Canrini. They all had them.
Humid inside and out. Can't somebody handle it?
Talk to the neighbors. 60 units and no one heard the shot.
Well, someone heard something.
Get back on them. Lean on them. Ask about anyone seen coming or going over
last five days.
What? Nothing to kill yourself over.
Just a bunch of unpaid parking tickets.
Any close to the jewelry store?
Most are for the same vendors downtown.
What's at 930 and 90 Spring Street?
A run -down old movie studio.
One of the few left in downtown L .A.
What was Thomas Rector doing here?
Was this connected to the robbery and the murder of Arthur Canrinus? Yeah,
a little run down.
But on this stage, Roger Coleman shot the House of Usher back in 61.
What about over the last few weeks? Been busy?
This stuff is from a foreign company.
Shot some kind of motivational training film.
Do they have a name?
Invisible Enterprises.
Invisible. It's cute.
Take a look from up there.
Sure, go ahead.
Didn't see much of these people.
Work nights, mostly. They leave a deposit?
Yeah, cash, in fact.
Has it been picked up?
Funny you should ask. It hasn't.
And the phone number is some cell phone that's been disconnected.
Why bother about a couple of grand security deposit when you scored 40
in jewels?
What do you think they did here?
They rehearse.
If you put those boxes where they should be, over the left, the entry.
Over the right, the counters.
And the door at the bottom leads to the safe.
You're in Lepore's jewelry.
Yeah, their ducts are all lined up.
Yeah.
You gotta hand it to them. They did their homework.
And there's a bonus for the hard work.
With Rector dead, the rest of them share a bigger pot.
If and when they decide to fence the goods.
You don't think it's done yet? 40 million in jewels, that's not an impulse
That takes time.
The question is, who's in the market for this stuff?
I'll tell you who'll know. The PI from the insurance company.
Five -star hotels.
Luxury for a price.
The insurance company was paying. They wouldn't mind the bill.
They had their eyes on something bigger.
The return of the Lepori jewels.
Katrina Fleury staying here meant only one thing. She was good.
She had done this before.
She could get the stolen jewels back.
The underwriters generated a list of known buyers for gems of this caliber.
So you know who the buyers are? Any idea who the crew was on this?
I know this is not their first robbery.
Well, we kind of figured that.
Oh, so you know about the international biennale in 99?
Same memo.
Three men take down, wheel man idling outside.
Well, that could have been anybody.
I doubt just anybody issues six hours 40.
She was beautiful, charming.
My partner's eyes were all over her.
It wasn't working on me.
She had her own agenda.
It had nothing to do with ours. And underneath that charm was more than a
of contempt.
She was the international P .I. And as far as she was concerned, we weren't in
her league.
It's the Tear of Aragon.
You've heard of it? Comes the jewelry, solves the man.
After getting nothing from Katrina Flurry, I called an old friend from the
Diamond District.
He knew jewels.
Ironic it was stolen. It has a story. Here we go.
It was first stolen during the French Revolution along with the Sansi.
It was only found last year in Spain.
Lepori spent millions for it, and now, stolen again.
So it's got a curse. This doesn't really help us. More history, more value.
This 15 -carat round, there's the equivalent of 20 of those in that Lepori
tiara. And at Oscar time, too. They picked the right place.
You're talking over 25 million here.
And Lepori said 40.
Retail.
Actual price, sans Lepori name, always less.
But still, big league stuff. Who could handle something like this?
Hard to say.
I don't think you'll ever find the buyers.
This is the slug from the skull of Thomas Rector.
This is the slug from Arthur Canrinus.
Same gun?
Six grooves, right twist, one in 16.
Same gun.
Now, let me get this straight.
Your robber shoots a customer at the holdup, then goes back to his hotel and
shoots himself?
You'll pardon me if I say that doesn't make a lot of sense.
It's okay. We don't think it makes any sense either.
A dark screen shows substantial traces of phenobarbital and alcohol.
Enough to make you mellow?
Yeah, barbiturates and booze make you very mellow.
Well, the entry wound.
It's an absence of powder residue. It's a lack of tattooing.
See this abrasion ring?
Silencer.
A silencer would explain it. It would also explain why no one heard this shot.
Which also makes this a homicide.
Homicide? Are you sure?
A coroner said a silencer was used.
And we don't think that Rector disposed of the silencer after he blew the back
of his own head out.
So, Ken Renis happens to be shopping.
Rector makes him as the guy who put him away. He's an opportunity, and he takes
revenge. The guy running the job didn't like it. It's all about control.
Rector colored outside the lines. Whoever brought him in killed him.
Thomas Rector's cell phone. Day before the robbery, he got seven calls from an
Eric Harmsen.
Harmsen has a record.
Possession of a firearm at 94.
Assault in 99.
Armed robbery, also in 99, bumped down to a B &E. Currently played at a company
called Praetorian Guards. They do private security for celebrities,
If Eric Harmsen is robber number three, I know who can tie him in.
We took Eric Harmsen's mugshot to the studio where the robbers had rehearsed.
got the hit we expected.
Eric Harmsen was at the rehearsal.
He was robber number three.
We drove over to Harmsen's employer.
Praetorian Guards Private Security.
They service movie stars, protected their houses, and on Oscar night, they
in the crowd protecting their clients.
An outfit this well -connected? Didn't make sense.
Why would they hire an ex -con like Eric Harmsen?
I'm Alex Van Loy. I own Praetorian Guards. Detective Friday is my partner,
Smith. Eric Harmsen, is he around?
No, he's on vacation.
He's not in some sort of trouble. We're just gathering information. Just want to
talk to him.
Where's he vacationing?
I believe he said Morocco.
What can you tell us about him? Was he a good employee?
He's been here about a year.
Who was this guy kidding?
He had to guess where an employee went on vacation?
Not likely.
He was playing dumb.
He was anything but.
Well, he doesn't have a background in law enforcement, unlike most of our
personnel, so he does mainly outside work.
So you took a chance on someone who's perhaps a little underqualified.
Taking chances? No.
Not in the security business.
Listen, if you suspect that he's been involved in something shady, I certainly
need to know about it. Well, when we know, you'll know.
Thanks for all your help. Pleasure.
Here's number one, Alex Van Loy.
Army ranger, weapons expert, worked as a consultant for auction houses before
opening Praetorian Guards. According to his press kit, he's a world -renowned
threat assessment authority.
Is he as good as he says?
Well, here's the proof. Look what he left us.
Thomas Rector dead.
Eric Harmsen gone.
Gotta hand it to him.
Stealing the Oscar jewels is a hell of a stunt.
More than a stunt.
He's in it for the thrill.
Joe, Eric Harmsen has a wife. She lives in Van Nuys.
Mrs. Harmsen, we're looking for your husband.
Eric's not here.
We have a warrant to search the premises.
Is this your copy?
Yes.
Pardon me.
You can't just come in like this. We've got a district court judge who begs to
differ. Just please have a seat, ma 'am. Is there anyone else in the house?
No. No, not in there.
Stay away from him. Let me go.
It's okay, son. It's all right. Everything is all right. Just playing a
What's wrong with him? He has cystic fibrosis. He's sick, and you're scaring
him. It's Eric, son. Yes. Now, please leave him alone.
You could have told us there was a kid in there, ma 'am.
You just came barging in my house.
Found this wadded up in a trash can near his computer.
Thanks.
Joe, travel itinerary, Mexicana Airlines. Looks like Eric went to
Is your husband in the habit of taking vacations and leaving you at home?
Oliver wasn't well enough to travel.
Joe, beams and guests, Katrina Fleury.
Where'd you get this?
She came here looking for Eric. She said he was owed money.
I'll finish the search. You find Fleury. All right.
Miss Fleury, I thought we had a shared agenda.
I've been duly scolded by your partner. I've apologized and given assurance it
won't happen again.
Fine. Have a seat.
Can I interest you in his own other thing? No, I'm fine.
So, she spoke with Corrine Harmsen, who said she has been in contact with Eric.
Lied to us, gives it up to a P .I.
Cut us in on your technique, Miss Fleury.
I simply empathize with an only wife.
You catch more bees with honey, detective.
Well, we found out that Eric Harmsen has dual citizenship with Mexico. So even
if the federales find him, it's unlikely they'll extradite. So our killer runs
free. When the country's corrupt, this guy's gonna escape.
All Americans xenophobia.
What? Fear and or suspicion of foreigners.
I suppose the question is, does that apply to me?
Now, is there anything else for us, Miss Fleury?
Harmsen's itinerary? It is.
The first four numbers here.
are specific to the Amex black card.
You have to charge $100 ,000 annually to maintain membership.
Having seen Harmson's house, I doubt he's charged $100 ,000 in his lifetime.
Very good.
Who does the card belong to?
That's for the police to find out.
My partner was checking on the black Amex card. I had a fairly good
idea whose name was on it.
He was right in front of me, on the screen.
Hey, Joe.
What?
Our black card belongs to one Alexander Van Loy.
You can be the best and still not be perfect.
Alex Van Loy had made one crucial mistake.
He left a trail tying himself to the members of his team.
They were tied to the robbery.
All we had to do was connect the last dot.
We had enough for a warrant to tap Van Lloyd's phones.
We put surveillance on him around the clock.
Within 24 hours, we thought we'd caught a break.
We need to meet.
My place is no good.
Maybe we should put this off.
No, no, tonight.
The 6th Street Bridge.
Was he selling the LaFourie jewels?
Maybe.
But why do this in a dark tunnel?
He's theatrical. He likes the game.
But was there another reason?
Right on schedule.
All units, move in. Take him now.
Put your hands up. Right now.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hands.
Keep them up. Now.
Be careful with those. Up against the wall.
Coin. A nice choice, detective.
A Roman Claudia.
Minted somewhere between 41 and 54 AD.
You want to explain yourself?
Explain a fascination with ancient Rome?
You know, the original Praetorian guards were protectors of the imperial throne.
You usually trade coins at night in a tunnel?
I think this is for our benefit.
I think you read our surveillance and you decided to stick it up.
You're smart.
Maybe you're a little too concerned with other people finding out.
Are you suggesting I act dumb?
Does that work for you?
Well, we won't find that out.
Until the fat lady sings.
It's a very elaborate plan just to make us look bad.
Well, he's a pretty elaborate guy.
Look at that rehearsal.
The homicide?
Well, that wasn't planned.
He didn't count on that.
That's why he killed the guy who killed the guy. Get us off his scent.
So he doesn't care if he sells the jewels?
He wouldn't sell them out of need.
But he might sell them to get back in the game.
Game?
The game he's playing with us.
The game he needs to get off.
Any idea what his next move is?
Well, I'll just ask him.
I need the northeast exit sealed and two men up on top.
Well, tell the fire marshal who's really in charge here. Back at the day job.
Easy. My lawyer might interpret this visit as harassment.
Oh, I'm just here for advice, security concerns.
I was told you were the best.
As you know, someone took down a jewelry store, shot someone in the process.
Peter Lepore.
Unfortunate that a man was killed. Clearly unintended.
We have a suspect.
How would he unload the jewels?
How would I know?
Get recovery from the underwriters. He found the shooter and killed himself
a murder weapon.
What you just said about the murder weapon is sealed evidence.
Most of my staff are ex -law enforcement.
I hear things.
Listen, you got a dead suspect, a ballistic match.
It's closure.
Enjoy it.
Closure.
It's an overused word.
Then I guess you've hit a dead end. Well, I don't think anybody, even the
I'm after, really wants that.
Are you suggesting he's a fool?
No, no, he's hardly a fool.
No, he's well worth the effort.
You may be out of your league.
How about those angels, though?
You're not a sports fan.
That's too bad.
Arthur Canrinas was.
Satin's one of your own.
I mean, this guy was a federal agent of some sort, was he not?
You're well informed about a lot of things.
I have to be.
My outfit's just like yours. We're very, very close.
That pin.
Yeah, I had it made for all the senior personnel.
Caveat Praetorian.
Latin. It means, beware the Praetorians.
What's the word on Eric Harmsen coming back?
Hard to say.
Man goes to a warm climate.
He finds a new life.
He forgets his family ties.
Or he finds he can't forget them.
He flinched.
Now we had to squeeze.
We needed his number three guy back in the country. There was one person who
could help us.
I didn't lie. We haven't talked.
We know you received three calls from Wahak in the last three days. I'm not
lying. You didn't call to talk to his son?
My son has nothing to do with this.
Corrine, my brother has a boy with leukemia.
I know the strain of everyday life.
She was good.
She was very good.
She'd say anything.
A nephew with leukemia.
Thompson's wife, a lonely woman with a sick child.
Flurry knew all her buttons.
That his condition has taken a turn for the worse.
But his condition hasn't changed.
Eric doesn't know that.
A boy needs his father.
Mexicano flight 131 from Mexico City, arriving LAX tomorrow at 3 .14 p .m.
job, Miss Flurry.
Yeah, we owe you one.
I'll take you up on that.
Who's Van Harmsen's way?
Did you check the numbers on that black card?
Go ahead, tell her.
A guy named Alex Van Loy.
And you're checking into him?
Of course.
Look, I'm...
Sorry about your nephew.
Leukemia and all that sounds tough.
She doesn't have a nephew.
Do you?
Anything else you want to tell me?
Nothing comes to mind.
Well, I have things to do.
Good night.
You sure you want her known about family?
She asked for the name of our lead suspect. You give it to her.
She's content. Doesn't push for details.
What does that tell you?
She already knew.
She might know a whole lot more.
I need times, dates, transcripts of the works. Thank you.
Surveillance on the van was paid off. Katrina Fleury went to his office twice
the past 24 hours. Trying to buy back the jewels.
Last time I checked the criminal code, buying stolen property was illegal.
Insurance companies don't care. They want the jewels.
Allow for 15, 20 million. Get the jewels back.
Save 20 million by not paying on the claim.
The unit that LAX called. Eric Thompson's plane came in.
He wasn't on it, was he? No, and he's not in the manifesto of any other
flight today. My guess, Fleury gives Van Loy the heads up, buys her credibility.
And then Van Loy warns his boy, Harmson.
I want SIS on Katrina Fleury 24 -7. Done.
She's been using us to put the heat on Van Loy.
She thinks it'll push him to sell the jewels.
She played us.
Now it's our turn.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting
different results.
Ben Franklin said that.
He'd have made a lousy cop.
Tell me again what we're looking for.
Whatever we missed.
It's a two -minute tape, Joe. We've watched it 50 times. I'll watch it 50
SIS followed Katrina Fleury to the Bank of Zurich on Lodeo.
She withdrew $15 million from the insurance company's account.
She made a deal with Ann Lloyd.
I'm having her picked up. Don't pick her up yet.
I'm not in the habit of letting insurance companies buy back stolen
I need Van Loy. I need him arrestable. Trust me, the only way it works is we
it play out.
SIS picked up Katrina Fleury headed west toward the ocean.
She was ready to make her deal.
We caught up with her at the amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier.
There's our guy.
Dan Lloyd's at the end of the pier. Let's take him.
What do you have?
You want to see?
Oh, you missed the best part.
Okay? She has four checks on her purse. She was trying to buy the stolen LaPori
gem. Which, of course, you don't have.
Of course not.
Did you let him con you? I didn't con her. She tried to engage me in a
activity. You son of a bitch.
I recorded everything you said.
He offered the jewels.
Well, I've got it on my tape right here.
It was all a ploy, so she'd come forward.
I bet you'd even testify to that.
Absolutely. Would you object to a body search? Of course not.
I think it's hour 40.
That's the weapon for the LaFleur crew.
A common sighter.
Oh, and I have a carriage. You have it with you?
Well, I guess we bring you in for a CCW. Come on, detective.
Hands behind your back.
You don't have a scintilla of physical evidence connecting me with those
genders. And it pisses you off.
You're right about that.
We'll be bringing Mr. Vanloo in and in charge of negotiating the sale of stolen
jewels. What, on her testimony?
For now.
I'll discredit her in five minutes. Get out of here.
You know he's right, Joe. I don't care.
I want this.
It's clean. Probably never fired. Do the ultraviolet?
This is it.
All right, I want a macro -micro. Pipe and crop.
I'll have it in an hour.
I was just trying to deliver him to you, Frank.
Think about it.
Didn't you hear the tape?
Did you listen?
We talked about the jewels.
And you talked more than he did.
You led him.
My job is to save my company money. After the deal was done, I was going to
share all my information with you. Don't embarrass yourself.
You played us and you were playing him.
Sharp. I'll give you that.
You know, I made a little phone call myself to Mr. Clyburn.
He's your boss in New York.
Played on that tape of yours.
He was amazed when you offered Vanloy $12 million since he transferred $15.
See, you tried to screw them, and they hung you out to dry.
He also mentioned he's going to press charges.
You'll never prove I wasn't just negotiating.
Anything else you want to trade?
Whatever I've got, I'll save it for Mr. Clyburn.
I assume I'm free to go?
Yeah.
They'll come find you.
Go for a chat.
Well, I guess there's a little time before my attorneys arrive.
I would remind you you're under no obligation to speak without presence of
counsel. Somehow I'm just not concerned.
Regarding the fact that you didn't bring the jewels to the meet, I can only
assume that you were going to take the money and stiffer on the merchandise.
Assuming I haven't had any merchandise.
My guess is that you probably laid the jewels off right after the robbery. This
underwriter's thing.
Just icing on the cake?
You give me an enormous amount of credit, Detective. It's really, it's
flattering stuff.
I think that's everything there.
Thanks, Frank. We're going to share this with Mr. Van Loy.
Now, I know you'll probably allege that you don't know this man.
Who is it? His name is Elias Watson. He's a security guard at the Peter
jewelry store.
I guarantee I don't know this man.
Now, this is your gun.
Now, I know you wiped it down after the robbery, but a small amount of dried
human blood was found here in this groove between the frame rails and the
It matches the blood type of Elias Watson.
And I'm sure that DNA is going to confirm that.
Physical evidence puts you at the robbery.
We get to charge you with a felony murder.
I'll wait for my attorney before I need further conversation.
Enjoy the wait.
One more thing, and this in no way is related to the investigation.
That lapel pin.
What?
Well, it's that caveat pretoria.
Should be cave pretorum. See, the case is imperative, not nominative.
And pretoria is accusative, not ablative.
Those nuns in parochial school. You learn Latin or your knuckles bleed.
What do you say, Frank? Enjoy some free time? Yes.
It's not over.
You got some plan to beat the system, you save it for your attorney. For me,
this is closure.
Go on in, then we'll get around some of that.
The prospect of spending one's life in an 8x10 cell does funny things to a man.
Van Loy quickly offered up Eric Harmsen and his wheel man.
Giving up the jewels could have cut his sentence even more.
But a guy like this needs a final move.
The jewels were his.
Katrina Fleury pled down to a felony obstruction charge.
She was deported back to England, where her employment with themes and guests
was terminated.
Alex Van Loy was convicted of armed robbery and the felony murder of Arthur
Canrina. He was sentenced to 20 years to be served at Pelican Bay.
Eric Homsen remains at large.
He is being thought for armed robbery and a felony murder role.
