00:00:07,852 --> 00:00:10,454
Hey, all I did was give you
some fresh eyes.

3
00:00:10,456 --> 00:00:11,877
Ms. Watson.

4
00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:13,586
I didn't know you and Holmes
were stopping by.

5
00:00:13,587 --> 00:00:15,120
He's not here, just me.

6
00:00:15,122 --> 00:00:16,588
Everything okay?

7
00:00:16,590 --> 00:00:19,224
Uh, could we talk privately?

8
00:00:19,226 --> 00:00:21,259
I haven't heard from him
in over three hours.

9
00:00:21,261 --> 00:00:22,661
He's not responding to texts,

10
00:00:22,663 --> 00:00:24,429
he's not answering his phone.

11
00:00:24,431 --> 00:00:27,499
All due respect, but you know
your boss is a weirdo, right?

12
00:00:27,501 --> 00:00:31,036
He's probably out trying
to find Jimmy Hoffa

13
00:00:31,038 --> 00:00:32,737
in some, uh, subway tunnel.

14
00:00:32,739 --> 00:00:35,040
You don't understand.
We have an arrangement.

15
00:00:35,042 --> 00:00:36,875
We're not supposed to be apart
for more than two hours,

16
00:00:36,877 --> 00:00:38,710
and he's never
supposed to be unreachable.

17
00:00:38,712 --> 00:00:41,079
I know you two are pretty close
for an assistant and a boss,

18
00:00:41,081 --> 00:00:42,631
but how is that even possible?

19
00:00:42,633 --> 00:00:44,282
You both have to sleep, right?

20
00:00:44,284 --> 00:00:46,551
I'm... not his assistant.

21
00:00:46,553 --> 00:00:49,120
I... okay, the only reason
we are together all the time

22
00:00:49,122 --> 00:00:51,022
is because I live at his place.

23
00:00:51,024 --> 00:00:53,758
Okay.

24
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,462
Don't know why you guys couldn't
have just told me that,

25
00:00:57,464 --> 00:00:58,930
but... fine.

26
00:00:58,932 --> 00:01:00,398
Okay, it's not like that.

27
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,868
It's... we're not
together together.

28
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:05,070
Okay, what is it like?

I-I can't say, I'm sorry.

32
00:01:10,878 --> 00:01:12,677
Well, Ms. Watson, if you
want me to help you,

33
00:01:12,679 --> 00:01:15,113
you're gonna have to tell me
what the story is, all right?

34
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:25,590
I'm a sober companion.

35
00:01:25,592 --> 00:01:27,425
I work with recovering
drug addicts.

36
00:01:27,427 --> 00:01:28,977
Sherlock is my client.

37
00:01:28,979 --> 00:01:31,012
His father hired me
to help him stay clean.

38
00:01:31,014 --> 00:01:32,814
The only reason
I am telling you this

39
00:01:32,816 --> 00:01:34,616
is because I think
he may have relapsed.

40
00:01:34,618 --> 00:01:36,818
I need your help to find him.

41

you're both fantastic,

Your abbreviations are becoming

I don't know why,

because you are obviously

I love text shorthand.

107
00:04:29,285 --> 00:04:31,568
It allows you to convey content

00:04:31,570 --> 00:04:33,370
without losing velocity.

00:04:37,376 --> 00:04:39,410
Um, this is the part
where I ask you

112
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:40,677
how you knew that, right?

113
00:04:40,679 --> 00:04:41,962
You put your hair up

114
00:04:41,964 --> 00:04:43,497
when you want to look your best.

115
00:04:43,499 --> 00:04:44,882
You think it's more flattering.

116
00:04:44,884 --> 00:04:47,000
You're wrong, of course.
It's a draw.

117

But it was down when you left
for coffee, and now it's up.

118
00:04:48,888 --> 00:04:51,021
Ergo, you unexpectedly
met a man

00:04:51,023 --> 00:04:52,272
you found attractive.

What kind of errand?

128
00:05:05,237 --> 00:05:06,904
We have been summoned
to a meeting

129
00:05:06,906 --> 00:05:08,872
of the Board of Directors
of Canon-Ebersole.

130
00:05:08,874 --> 00:05:11,308
The investment firm. What do
they want to see you about?

131
00:05:11,310 --> 00:05:12,709
I have no idea.

132
00:05:12,711 --> 00:05:14,962
Hence my use of
the word "mysterious."

133
00:05:14,964 --> 00:05:17,197
Apparently Gregson
recommended my services,

134
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,166
and, uh, they won't
tell me anything else

135
00:05:19,168 --> 00:05:21,802
until I've signed
a confidentiality agreement.

136
00:05:21,804 --> 00:05:23,670
Uh, is that what
you're going to wear?

137
00:05:23,672 --> 00:05:25,672
What's wrong with it?

138
00:05:25,674 --> 00:05:28,342
It... I'm pretty sure you slept
in that T-shirt last night,

139
00:05:28,344 --> 00:05:31,762
and, um, the guys on Wall
Street are a little more...

140

141
00:05:33,482 --> 00:05:34,982
Those are costumes.

142
00:05:34,984 --> 00:05:37,151
I loathe bankers.

143
00:05:37,153 --> 00:05:38,769
They rigged the roulette wheel
of commerce,

144
00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:40,320
very nearly destroyed
the world economy,

145
00:05:40,322 --> 00:05:42,689
and they still think
if they wear suits

146
00:05:42,691 --> 00:05:43,941
they'll be treated
like respectable folk

147
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:46,560
instead of the crooks
that they are.

FOWKES:
This is our COO, Peter Talbott.

00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,943
Nobody has any idea
where he is.

163
00:06:19,945 --> 00:06:21,979
And if you don't get this
call back on the books soon,

164
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:23,780
people will start to whisper.

165
00:06:23,782 --> 00:06:26,867
When these people whisper,
Mr. Holmes,

166
00:06:26,869 --> 00:06:28,235
millions of dollars disappear.

167
00:06:28,237 --> 00:06:30,571
The gentleman
we spoke to,

168
00:06:30,573 --> 00:06:31,905
a, uh, Captain Gregson,

169
00:06:31,907 --> 00:06:33,507
he said that the NYPD
couldn't get involved

170
00:06:33,509 --> 00:06:35,576
until Peter had been
missing for two days.

171
00:06:35,578 --> 00:06:37,077
He also said that

172
00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:39,296
you were the finest
investigator he'd ever known.

173
00:06:39,298 --> 00:06:42,883
We'd like to hire you
and your, uh... associate.

174
00:06:42,885 --> 00:06:44,001
Bodyguard.

175
00:06:44,003 --> 00:06:46,386
Luckily for you,
Mr. Fowkes,

176
00:06:46,388 --> 00:06:48,005
I have a hole in my schedule.

177
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:50,174
My usual private consulting
rates will apply, of course,

178
00:06:50,176 --> 00:06:53,710
multiplied by a factor
of 12, shall we say?

179
00:06:53,712 --> 00:06:55,295
You're wondering
if I'm worth it.

180
00:06:55,297 --> 00:06:57,564
I could provide a demonstration,
if you'd like.

181
00:06:57,566 --> 00:06:58,866
I'm fairly sure,

182
00:06:58,868 --> 00:07:00,167
for example,
that these two are

183
00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:01,818
sleeping with each other.

184
00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:03,187
You really should be more
careful of your body language.

185
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:04,521
And you, for some reason,

186
00:07:04,523 --> 00:07:05,856
have recently used a solvent

187
00:07:05,858 --> 00:07:08,742
to remove fingernail polish
from your hands.

188
00:07:08,744 --> 00:07:11,144
12 times your usual rate
will be just fine.

189
00:07:11,146 --> 00:07:14,331
I will need access to Peter
Talbott's office, his computer.

190
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:17,734
My secretary will be happy to
take you down there right now.

191
00:07:24,442 --> 00:07:26,043
Cute couple.

192
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:27,377
WOMAN: Everyone here calls
Peter and Alyssa

193
00:07:27,379 --> 00:07:28,929
"Taylor and Burton."

194
00:07:28,931 --> 00:07:30,264
You know,
after the movie stars.

195
00:07:30,266 --> 00:07:31,548
Fascinating.

196
00:07:31,550 --> 00:07:35,052
I'll be outside
if you need me.

197
00:07:35,054 --> 00:07:37,003
I don't think I've ever
seen you so happy,

198
00:07:37,005 --> 00:07:38,338
back in the
conference room.

199
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:40,274
Mastering the Masters
of the Universe.

200
00:07:40,276 --> 00:07:41,725
Bit of a letdown,
actually.

201
00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:43,360
I think I could've got
20 times my normal rate.

202
00:07:43,362 --> 00:07:46,396
What is your normal rate?
Oh, I don't have one.

203
00:07:46,398 --> 00:07:48,315
Remind me to make one up
before I leave.

204
00:07:48,317 --> 00:07:49,733
Typical.

205
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,568
Every stuffed shirt who
wants to pass for erudite

206
00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:53,070
has shelves full
of unread books.

207
00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:56,156
None of the spines on these
have ever been cracked.

208
00:07:56,158 --> 00:07:57,741
Except...

209
00:07:57,743 --> 00:08:00,994
this one.

210
00:08:00,996 --> 00:08:04,248
Which apparently Mr. Talbott
consults all the time.

211
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:13,757
Ah.

212
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,042
I've never been a fan of
John Maynard Keynes,

213
00:08:16,044 --> 00:08:17,561
but this I could
sink my teeth into.

214
00:08:17,563 --> 00:08:19,012
WATSON: I don't understand.
What is that?

215
00:08:19,014 --> 00:08:20,564
It's a menu.

216
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:23,049
Each of these girls is
available for a price.

217
00:08:23,051 --> 00:08:24,651
See the ring symbols
at the bottom?

218
00:08:24,653 --> 00:08:28,438
The more rings, the more
expensive the prostitute.

219
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,607
So you're speaking
from experience?

220
00:08:30,609 --> 00:08:32,743
It's just a deduction.

221
00:08:32,745 --> 00:08:35,996
Though I am on
an expense account.

222
00:08:35,998 --> 00:08:38,081
Almost all these pages
are turned down.

223
00:08:38,083 --> 00:08:39,333
The more pricey girls

224
00:08:39,335 --> 00:08:41,234
were his favorites.

225
00:08:41,236 --> 00:08:42,619
But you can't just tell the IRS

226
00:08:42,621 --> 00:08:44,421
you spend six figures
a year on slappers.

227
00:08:44,423 --> 00:08:47,257
No, you need to
hide the expense. So...

228
00:08:47,259 --> 00:08:51,678
Let's see...
calendar, contacts...

229
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,213
Yeah.

230
00:08:53,215 --> 00:08:55,799
You see?

231
00:08:55,801 --> 00:08:58,602
Talbott has contact addresses
for two separate accountants.

232
00:08:58,604 --> 00:09:01,955
This one is for a rep for DDB.

233
00:09:01,957 --> 00:09:04,274
That's a big five firm,
nothing untoward there.

234
00:09:04,276 --> 00:09:06,476
Probably handled the family
books. But this one...

235
00:09:06,478 --> 00:09:09,596
is an independent accountant
by the name of Martin Rydell.

236
00:09:09,598 --> 00:09:13,817
Handled something Peter calls
his "Executive Private Account""

237
00:09:13,819 --> 00:09:15,235
Excuse me!

238
00:09:15,237 --> 00:09:16,703
Secretary?

239
00:09:18,289 --> 00:09:19,623
What did Fowkes
say your name was?

240
00:09:19,625 --> 00:09:21,992
He didn't. It's Donna.

241
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:24,378
Well, before we leave, Donna,
would you mind calling us in

242
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:26,246
a reservation for three
at Villa Pacri?

243
00:09:28,216 --> 00:09:29,783
We're not dressed
for Villa Pacri.

244
00:09:29,785 --> 00:09:31,501
We're not dressed for
Canon-Ebersole, either.

245
00:09:31,503 --> 00:09:33,170
When I invite Martin Rydell
to lunch, it'll help if

246
00:09:33,172 --> 00:09:34,671
I drop the name of one of

247
00:09:34,673 --> 00:09:37,257
the most expensive
restaurants in the city.

248
00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:43,814
So you loathe Canon-Ebersole
and everything they stand for.

249
00:09:43,816 --> 00:09:45,349
But you love to
spend their money.

250
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:47,651
You don't see any
inconsistency there?

251
00:09:47,653 --> 00:09:49,736
I'm redistributing as many
of their assets as I can.

252
00:09:49,738 --> 00:09:52,072
If I'm going to get in bed with
the croupiers of a rigged game,

253
00:09:52,074 --> 00:09:54,574
I'm going to make damn sure
their wallets are lighter in the morning.

254
00:09:54,576 --> 00:09:56,395
Sir?
Mm.

255
00:09:56,495 --> 00:09:58,373
And that is for?

256
00:09:58,398 --> 00:09:59,697
It's the most expensive
bottle they've got.

257
00:09:59,698 --> 00:10:01,581
I don't care if it comes in
a box, you're not drinking it.

258
00:10:01,583 --> 00:10:04,868
It's not for me.
You see that couple over there?

259
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:06,787
I observed them
while you were in the bathroom.

260
00:10:06,789 --> 00:10:09,089
The man's suit is frayed
from dry cleaning.

261
00:10:09,091 --> 00:10:10,924
I'd wager it's
the only one he's got.

262
00:10:10,926 --> 00:10:13,710
Therefore, he saved to come here
for a special occasion.

263
00:10:13,712 --> 00:10:16,963
Also, he keeps touching the
inside pocket of his suit coat,

264
00:10:16,965 --> 00:10:19,099
like he's checking to see
that something valuable

265
00:10:19,101 --> 00:10:21,435
is still there.
He's about to propose.

266
00:10:21,437 --> 00:10:25,288
And I'm going to send this
wine over as congratulations.

267
00:10:25,290 --> 00:10:27,724
It's lovely, thank you.

268
00:10:27,726 --> 00:10:28,942
Mr. Holmes?

269
00:10:28,944 --> 00:10:31,645
Mr. Rydell.

270
00:10:31,647 --> 00:10:33,563
Won't you sit down?

271
00:10:35,733 --> 00:10:38,902
Confession: I told a couple
of white lies on the phone.

272
00:10:38,904 --> 00:10:41,071
I don't actually work
at Canon-Ebersole,

273
00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:42,906
and I have no
intention of opening

274
00:10:42,908 --> 00:10:45,575
a private executive
account with you.

275
00:10:45,577 --> 00:10:47,360
What I would like is
to discuss the work

276
00:10:47,362 --> 00:10:49,212
you did concealing Peter
Talbott's predilection

277
00:10:49,214 --> 00:10:50,664
for expensive hookers.

278
00:10:52,533 --> 00:10:54,251
I'm sorry, I think
maybe this is a mistake.

279
00:10:54,253 --> 00:10:56,169
Is it strictly legal,

280
00:10:56,171 --> 00:10:58,555
the private executive accounting
business? I bet not.

281
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:00,540
Yet you seemed very eager to
take this meeting with me,

282
00:11:00,542 --> 00:11:03,760
so I'm quite sure that Peter
Talbott's not the only rich man

283
00:11:03,762 --> 00:11:05,712
to avail himself
of your services.

284
00:11:05,714 --> 00:11:07,431
But by all means, leave.

285
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:08,932
I'm sure there's any
number of magazines

286
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:11,401
would love to
publish a story about

287
00:11:11,403 --> 00:11:13,103
the man who hides the dirty
secrets of Wall Street.

288
00:11:13,105 --> 00:11:15,522
The press is so
base these days.

289
00:11:16,157 --> 00:11:18,074
Excuse me.

290
00:11:18,076 --> 00:11:19,392
Hello. Is this the <i>Post?</i>

291
00:11:19,394 --> 00:11:21,928
Wait! (sighs)

292
00:11:21,930 --> 00:11:24,748
I work with Peter.
I set up a shell corporation.

293
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:27,451
We steer a little bit
of his paycheck

294
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,536
into a quiet little slush fund.

295
00:11:29,538 --> 00:11:31,571
He can do whatever
he wants with it.

296
00:11:31,573 --> 00:11:33,290
And if he were using
this slush fund

297
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:34,825
to binge on his
favorite bad habit,

298
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:36,827
where do you suppose
we might find him?

299
00:11:37,912 --> 00:11:40,680
I rented an apartment in Tribeca

300
00:11:40,682 --> 00:11:42,782
under the name
of the dummy corp.

301
00:11:42,784 --> 00:11:46,252
Yes, I will!
Of course I will!

302
00:11:48,739 --> 00:11:50,240
That's lovely, isn't it?

303
00:11:50,242 --> 00:11:53,226
This apartment, we'll
need the address.

304
00:11:53,228 --> 00:11:55,378
The man you met
this morning,

305
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:57,113
his name's Aaron, yes?

306
00:11:57,115 --> 00:11:59,816
He sent a text while you were
in the bathroom at lunch,

307
00:11:59,818 --> 00:12:01,568
asked if you wanted
to have dinner tonight.

308
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:02,903
Didn't we already
have this conversation?

309
00:12:02,905 --> 00:12:04,154
You don't touch
my stuff.

310
00:12:04,156 --> 00:12:05,939
You said yes,
by the way.

311
00:12:05,941 --> 00:12:07,958
And you definitely don't
accept dates on my behalf.

312
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,226
Why not? We're both
equally aware

313
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:10,911
that you're attracted
to this man.

314
00:12:10,913 --> 00:12:12,796
No, we are both not equally
aware of my feelings.

315
00:12:12,798 --> 00:12:14,130
(bell ringing)

316
00:12:14,132 --> 00:12:15,382
MAN:
Super's office.

317
00:12:15,384 --> 00:12:16,800
(New York accent):
Yes, this is

318
00:12:16,802 --> 00:12:18,218
Detective Donowicz
of the NYPD.

319
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:21,421
We got a warrant
to look inside apartment 2G.

320
00:12:21,423 --> 00:12:22,923
We don't have
a warrant.

321
00:12:22,925 --> 00:12:24,624
They almost never
ask to see it.

322
00:12:24,626 --> 00:12:26,626
(buzzer sounds)

323
00:12:30,848 --> 00:12:33,416
This is the apartment
he kept on the side?

324
00:12:33,418 --> 00:12:34,734
This place is amazing.

325
00:12:34,736 --> 00:12:37,187
(clears throat)

326
00:12:37,189 --> 00:12:40,724
Mr. Talbott, your bosses
would like a word.

327
00:13:00,996 --> 00:13:03,163
(indistinct radio transmission)

328
00:13:03,165 --> 00:13:05,132
WATSON:
You all right?

329
00:13:05,134 --> 00:13:07,718
I'm sure you already know
that the support meetings,

330
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,521
you're not even allowed to name
the drug you've abused.

331
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:11,772
Just saying it out loud

332
00:13:11,774 --> 00:13:13,507
might be enough
to make someone relapse.

333
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:15,592
I told you I don't pay attention
in those meetings.

334
00:13:15,594 --> 00:13:18,929
Heroin was one of the drugs
that landed you in rehab.

335
00:13:18,931 --> 00:13:21,598
You're not just
hearing the word.

336
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,401
You're in a apartment where
it's laid out in front of you.

337
00:13:24,403 --> 00:13:25,936
Do you want to get
away from this?

338
00:13:25,938 --> 00:13:27,571
We can go outside
and talk.

339
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:29,573
I'm fine. I have to be.
I'm working a case.

340
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:31,742
And talking about
my feelings

341
00:13:31,744 --> 00:13:33,310
is not gonna get
it solved, right?

342
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:36,063
Peter Talbott is right there.
Your job is over.

343
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:38,515
Over? Do you see that
salad sitting there?

344
00:13:38,517 --> 00:13:43,487
Captain, you're classifying this
as an accidental overdose, yeah?

345
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:46,123
We'll wait on the M.E. to make
the final determination,

346
00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:48,509
but you're looking at
the same picture we are.

347
00:13:48,511 --> 00:13:50,077
Indeed. But I don't think
we need to wait on the Examiner

348
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:51,512
to get started--
I think there's a good chance

349
00:13:51,514 --> 00:13:53,163
Peter Talbott was murdered.

350
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:54,631
Murdered? The guy's holding
the needle he used

351
00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:56,016
to shoot himself up.

352
00:13:56,018 --> 00:13:58,685
He's holding the needle that
someone used to shoot him up.

353
00:13:58,687 --> 00:14:00,637
Look at his arm.
There's no track marks on it.

354
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,774
Doesn't mean anything-- a junkie
can find a vein anywhere.

355
00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:05,576
Look around you.
Does this look like

356
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:09,897
the typical apartment
of a hardcore heroin user?

357
00:14:09,899 --> 00:14:12,483
It's-It's-It's pristine!

358
00:14:12,485 --> 00:14:15,069
I'd wager even the food

359
00:14:15,071 --> 00:14:17,821
is perfectly arranged.

360
00:14:17,823 --> 00:14:20,908
Ha. Does that look like
the typical fridge

361
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:23,043
of a heroin addict?

362
00:14:23,045 --> 00:14:25,212
No, not a typical one.

363
00:14:25,214 --> 00:14:28,715
Heroin users are looking
for oblivion.

364
00:14:28,717 --> 00:14:30,717
They want the drug
to dull their senses.

365
00:14:30,719 --> 00:14:32,836
That's why when they overdose,
usually you find them in

366
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:34,972
squalid apartments
or alleyways.

367
00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:38,058
They don't often keep apartments
like this.

368
00:14:38,060 --> 00:14:42,146
And it's rare-ish that
they hold jobs as a COO

369
00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:44,148
of a billion-dollar
corporation.

370
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:48,185
So you're saying someone gave
Peter Talbott that shot?

371
00:14:48,187 --> 00:14:50,337
How? There's no sign
of a struggle here.

372
00:14:50,339 --> 00:14:51,605
You can't walk
up to someone

373
00:14:51,607 --> 00:14:53,657
and stick a syringe
in their arm.

374
00:14:53,659 --> 00:14:57,578
No, you would need them
to be unconscious first.

375
00:14:57,580 --> 00:15:00,781
Okay, granted I've never been
hit with a salad container,

376
00:15:00,783 --> 00:15:02,816
but I'm pretty sure
it wouldn't knock you out.

377
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:05,169
The killer would need
Peter to be insensate

378
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:08,088
before delivering
the fatal shot.

379
00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:09,373
But a drug other
than heroin would

380
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:10,991
surely show up
on tox screens.

381
00:15:10,993 --> 00:15:12,876
So what's the most
efficient solution?

382
00:15:12,878 --> 00:15:15,162
If Peter Talbott
was murdered,

383
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:18,932
I'd imagine the first dose
of heroin came from here.

384
00:15:18,934 --> 00:15:21,135
After he passed out,

385
00:15:21,137 --> 00:15:23,554
the killer dragged him

386
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:28,142
to the chair where
he delivered the fatal shot.

387
00:15:28,144 --> 00:15:30,060
You think someone
dosed his salad dressing?

388
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:31,695
I think it's worth
exploring.

389
00:15:31,697 --> 00:15:33,346
It's easy enough to
find out if I'm right.

390
00:15:33,348 --> 00:15:34,531
We just test
the salad

391
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:35,782
for the presence
of heroin.

392
00:15:35,784 --> 00:15:37,317
I'll hold my
breath on that.

393
00:15:37,319 --> 00:15:39,786
Meantime, I got to
notify Talbott's wife

394
00:15:39,788 --> 00:15:42,623
of all... this.
I'm coming.

395
00:15:42,625 --> 00:15:45,125
He-he keeps a special
apartment for prostitutes.

396
00:15:45,127 --> 00:15:48,045
If he was murdered,
surely his wife had motive.

397
00:15:48,047 --> 00:15:49,379
You can watch.

398
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:51,031
She just lost
her husband--

399
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:54,001
the last thing she needs
to deal with right now...

400
00:15:54,003 --> 00:15:56,003
is you.

401
00:15:57,972 --> 00:16:00,390
WOMAN:
<i>Oh, my God.</i>

402
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:02,643
Peter said he
was done with it all.

403
00:16:02,645 --> 00:16:05,078
The girls, the partying.

404
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,364
He just told me
he was ready for kids

405
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:10,017
and you're saying he was using heroin?
Everything cool?

406
00:16:10,019 --> 00:16:11,935
BELL: Our sincere condolences.
You're staring.

407
00:16:11,937 --> 00:16:13,237
Ms. Talbott,

408
00:16:13,239 --> 00:16:14,771
sorry to interrupt.

409
00:16:14,773 --> 00:16:16,440
Would you mind telling us
where you were

410
00:16:16,442 --> 00:16:18,909
two nights ago between the hours
of 6:00 and midnight?

411
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:20,527
What?
The medical examiner

412
00:16:20,529 --> 00:16:21,745
estimates that's
when your husband died.

413
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:23,247
I was wondering
where <i>you</i> where.

414
00:16:23,249 --> 00:16:24,748
No.
You-you think I'd hurt my husband?

415
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:27,201
No, no, everything
we've seen so far

416
00:16:27,203 --> 00:16:28,452
says accidental death.

417
00:16:28,454 --> 00:16:29,753
HOLMES:
Even so-- your whereabouts.

418
00:16:29,755 --> 00:16:31,838
You don't...
have to answer that.

419
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,924
I-I volunteer
at Habitat for Humanity.

420
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:35,792
I was at a silent auction.

421
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:38,595
Th-There must have been
200 people who saw me there.

422
00:16:38,597 --> 00:16:40,030
Thank you.

423
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:41,515
And until today,

424
00:16:41,517 --> 00:16:43,700
you had no idea your
husband was using heroin?

425
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:45,135
I told you, no.

426
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:46,720
I'm shocked.

427
00:16:47,772 --> 00:16:50,023
But... I...

428
00:16:50,025 --> 00:16:52,009
can't say I'm...

429
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,644
totally surprised.

430
00:16:53,646 --> 00:16:56,313
He's been overwhelmed ever
since they named him COO.

431
00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:58,949
Peter used to say he thought
the last guy dropped dead

432
00:16:58,951 --> 00:17:00,901
just to get out of
going into work.

433
00:17:00,903 --> 00:17:02,236
Sorry, sorry, sorry.

434
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:03,820
Did you just say

435
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,272
the previous
chief operating officer

436
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:07,574
of Canon-Ebersole also died?

437
00:17:07,576 --> 00:17:10,077
He was allergic to peanuts--
he died when some restaurant

438
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,079
put the wrong oil
in his lunch.

439
00:17:12,081 --> 00:17:13,280
How long ago was that?

440
00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:14,665
Last October. Why?
What does this

441
00:17:14,667 --> 00:17:15,882
have to do with Peter?

442
00:17:15,884 --> 00:17:16,883
Nothing at all.

443
00:17:16,885 --> 00:17:17,884
We're finished here.

444
00:17:17,886 --> 00:17:19,619
Thank you very much

445
00:17:19,621 --> 00:17:20,671
for coming in.

446
00:17:20,673 --> 00:17:21,755
And again, we've very,

447
00:17:21,757 --> 00:17:23,507
very sorry for your loss.

448
00:17:23,509 --> 00:17:24,925
Yes.

449
00:17:29,314 --> 00:17:30,897
Peanut allergies?

450
00:17:30,899 --> 00:17:32,399
Seriously?

451
00:17:32,401 --> 00:17:35,402
Canon-Ebersole has lost
two COO's in a year.

452
00:17:35,404 --> 00:17:37,721
That seems like
a dangerous job.

453
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,741
(speaking Mandarin)

454
00:17:43,528 --> 00:17:45,478
You speak Mandarin?

455
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,447
Not as well as
I'd like. You?

456
00:17:47,449 --> 00:17:49,249
Not as well as
my <i>mother</i> would like.

457
00:17:49,251 --> 00:17:50,450
Who was that?

458
00:17:50,452 --> 00:17:52,419
The chef that
prepared the meal

459
00:17:52,421 --> 00:17:55,422
that killed Peter Talbott's predecessor
at Canon-Ebersole.

460
00:17:55,424 --> 00:17:56,990
Any particular reason?

461
00:17:56,992 --> 00:17:58,675
I won't get
the test results back

462
00:17:58,677 --> 00:18:00,711
from Peter Talbott's salad
for a couple of hours.

463
00:18:00,713 --> 00:18:02,846
In the meantime,
I suppose I'm just curious.

464
00:18:02,848 --> 00:18:04,931
The previous COO
of Canon-Ebersole

465
00:18:04,933 --> 00:18:07,267
was a man named Gary Norris.

466
00:18:07,269 --> 00:18:08,935
Terrible allergies.

467
00:18:08,937 --> 00:18:11,221
Yes, noted earlier.

468
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:14,474
Did you know he was fanatical
about avoiding peanut products?

469
00:18:14,476 --> 00:18:16,193
He ate every single takeout meal

470
00:18:16,195 --> 00:18:18,028
from the same
Chinese restaurant.

471
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:20,147
He had a special arrangement
with the chef,

472
00:18:20,149 --> 00:18:22,316
who knew never
to have peanut oil around

473
00:18:22,318 --> 00:18:24,618
when he was preparing
Gary Norris's meals.

474
00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:26,870
Well, it only takes one slip up.

475
00:18:26,872 --> 00:18:29,072
But the chef swears
he didn't slip up.

476
00:18:29,074 --> 00:18:31,908
He prepared that meal
personally, and he believes

477
00:18:31,910 --> 00:18:34,745
that someone put the peanut oil
in Gary Norris's food

478
00:18:34,747 --> 00:18:36,546
after it left his kitchen.

479
00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,882
I'm starting to think
he could be right.

480
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:40,967
Death by peanut oil--
that would be

481
00:18:40,969 --> 00:18:43,136
a brilliant way to kill someone.
Hmm.

482
00:18:43,138 --> 00:18:46,423
If Peter Talbott was murdered,
the M.O. is consistent:

483
00:18:46,425 --> 00:18:48,091
eliminate your target

484
00:18:48,093 --> 00:18:50,543
in a way that the world thinks
is an accident.

485
00:18:50,545 --> 00:18:52,679
Damn it!

486
00:18:55,099 --> 00:18:58,635
Earlier, when I asked you
about being around heroin again,

487
00:18:58,637 --> 00:19:01,104
you wanted to say something?

488
00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:02,756
I could tell.

489
00:19:02,758 --> 00:19:06,276
I'd forgotten
what it smells like.

490
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:09,529
Cooked heroin.

491
00:19:09,531 --> 00:19:11,003
It brought back memories.

492
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:17,156
You also said that heroin users
want to dull their senses,

493
00:19:17,256 --> 00:19:19,956
that they crave oblivion.

494
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:22,209
Is that what you wanted?

495
00:19:22,211 --> 00:19:23,576
It's nearly 7:00.

496
00:19:23,578 --> 00:19:25,379
You're gonna miss
your dinner date.

497
00:19:25,381 --> 00:19:26,997
I'm not going.
You need me tonight.

498
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:28,432
Actually...

499
00:19:28,434 --> 00:19:32,185
what I need, I believe,
is privacy tonight.

500
00:19:32,187 --> 00:19:33,937
I'm not gonna
relapse.

501
00:19:33,939 --> 00:19:36,756
Besides, if I wanted drugs,
I could always just

502
00:19:36,758 --> 00:19:39,476
climb out the window,
whether you're here or not.

503
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:41,478
Go.

504
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,998
If it makes you happy, I'll take
a spit test when you get back.

505
00:19:46,667 --> 00:19:48,568
All right.

506
00:19:58,045 --> 00:19:59,830
I am officially
calling it.

507
00:19:59,832 --> 00:20:01,915
"Foam" is-is not
a category of food.

508
00:20:01,917 --> 00:20:03,633
(laughs):
It just isn't.

509
00:20:03,635 --> 00:20:06,002
I feel like I should
take you to a restaurant

510
00:20:06,004 --> 00:20:07,671
that provides
actual sustenance.

511
00:20:07,673 --> 00:20:09,890
That's all right.
After all the bubbles subsided,

512
00:20:09,892 --> 00:20:11,291
there was food underneath.

513
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:12,893
No, you're
missing my point.

514
00:20:12,895 --> 00:20:14,978
Can't you see that's
my stealthy way

515
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:17,063
of asking you out
on another date.

516
00:20:17,065 --> 00:20:18,965
Oh, smooth!

517
00:20:18,967 --> 00:20:22,102
Yeah. So smooth you
didn't even notice.

518
00:20:22,104 --> 00:20:24,604
No, I didn't.
(laughs): I was...

519
00:20:24,606 --> 00:20:27,474
Seriously, though,
I... I had fun.

520
00:20:28,476 --> 00:20:30,327
Most of my dates
these days

521
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:32,412
are spent talking
about ex-husbands.

522
00:20:32,414 --> 00:20:34,030
You didn't go there.

523
00:20:34,032 --> 00:20:35,749
Well, that's easy--
I've never been married.

524
00:20:35,751 --> 00:20:37,984
What about you?
No.

525
00:20:45,126 --> 00:20:47,494
Your chariot.

526
00:20:49,180 --> 00:20:51,164
(clears throat):
So, uh...

527
00:20:51,166 --> 00:20:54,468
like I said,
this was fun.

528
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:56,169
It was.

529
00:20:57,805 --> 00:21:00,006
Thanks.

530
00:21:01,442 --> 00:21:02,893
Thank you.

531
00:21:02,895 --> 00:21:04,478
(laughs)

532
00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:10,484
Who are they?

533
00:21:10,486 --> 00:21:12,068
Employees of
Canon-Ebersole

534
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:14,538
who have died over
the last ten years.

535
00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:16,156
It is a big company.

536
00:21:16,158 --> 00:21:18,325
Odds are they're gonna lose
some people along the way.

537
00:21:18,327 --> 00:21:20,860
And some of these,
no doubt, are random.

538
00:21:20,862 --> 00:21:23,530
But there could be a pattern
hidden in there.

539
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:26,166
How was your date?
Good.

540
00:21:26,168 --> 00:21:27,801
Fun.

541
00:21:28,636 --> 00:21:30,587
I think maybe
he lied to me.

542
00:21:30,589 --> 00:21:33,256
It was the end of the night
and we were talking

543
00:21:33,258 --> 00:21:35,008
about whether or not
we've been married,

544
00:21:35,010 --> 00:21:37,427
and when he said he hadn't--
and this isn't something

545
00:21:37,429 --> 00:21:39,846
I would've noticed before
I started working with you--

546
00:21:39,848 --> 00:21:42,566
but I... could swear
he wasn't telling the truth.

547
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:44,601
Flexing our deductive
muscles, are we?

548
00:21:44,603 --> 00:21:46,102
I could burst with pride.

549
00:21:46,104 --> 00:21:47,737
The next step is confirmation.

550
00:21:47,739 --> 00:21:50,440
It's easy enough to find out
if he was married.

551
00:21:50,442 --> 00:21:51,775
What was his last name?

552
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:53,159
Whoa. Hold on.

553
00:21:53,161 --> 00:21:54,894
Not a cyber-stalker.

554
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:57,030
Do you want to find out
if you're right or don't you?

555
00:21:58,616 --> 00:22:00,934
(sighs)
His last name is Ward.

556
00:22:00,936 --> 00:22:03,069
Quick visit
to maritalrecords.com

557
00:22:03,071 --> 00:22:05,622
tells us that Aaron Ward

558
00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:08,625
of New York City was...

559
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:09,843
Oh.

560
00:22:09,845 --> 00:22:11,334
"Oh." "Oh"-- what
does that mean?

561
00:22:11,335 --> 00:22:12,295
He wasn't married.

562
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,965
- Oh.
- He is married.

563
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:17,284
To a woman
called Grace Arber.

564
00:22:17,286 --> 00:22:18,768
They just celebrated
their anniversary.

565
00:22:18,770 --> 00:22:20,353
How could Emily set me
up with a married guy?

566
00:22:20,355 --> 00:22:22,305
Well, look at it this way:
your instincts were right.

567
00:22:22,307 --> 00:22:24,641
And you're home early, so
I assume you haven't become

568
00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:26,309
an unwitting adulteress.

569
00:22:26,311 --> 00:22:27,594
(phone chimes)

570
00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:29,195
I knew it!

571
00:22:29,197 --> 00:22:31,765
Knew what?
That's the NYPD lab.

572
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:34,367
They agreed to rush the tests
of Peter Talbott's salad

573
00:22:34,369 --> 00:22:36,987
and there were trace amounts
of heroin in it.

574
00:22:36,989 --> 00:22:38,455
Mm.
My advice...

575
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,073
don't dwell on that man's
petty deceptions.

576
00:22:40,075 --> 00:22:41,408
You need your rest.

577
00:22:41,410 --> 00:22:43,710
We're going to
Canon-Ebersole tomorrow.

578
00:22:43,712 --> 00:22:45,161
We're going to call another meeting
of their Board of Directors.

579
00:22:45,163 --> 00:22:47,330
Can you do that? You don't
even work there anymore.

580
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:48,882
Not technically, but I think

581
00:22:48,884 --> 00:22:50,417
they're gonna want my help
in trying to figure out

582
00:22:50,419 --> 00:22:52,419
whether there's a murderer
working there.

583
00:22:54,088 --> 00:22:57,457
HOLMES: Miles Durham, former head trader
in your Denver office.

584
00:22:57,459 --> 00:23:00,927
Mr. Durham was a volunteer with
wilderness search and rescue

585
00:23:00,929 --> 00:23:03,897
who always filed his travel
plans with the ranger office

586
00:23:03,899 --> 00:23:05,231
whenever he went camping.

587
00:23:05,233 --> 00:23:06,600
CHO:
We're busy people, Mr. Holmes.

588
00:23:06,602 --> 00:23:08,034
What are we doing here?

589
00:23:08,036 --> 00:23:10,770
Maria Filipello.

590
00:23:10,772 --> 00:23:12,856
She ran your equities
division in Dallas.

591
00:23:12,858 --> 00:23:14,908
She suffocated in 2005

592
00:23:14,910 --> 00:23:17,027
when the natural gas line
running into her house ruptured.

593
00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:19,479
Never been another problem
with that brand of piping

594
00:23:19,481 --> 00:23:21,197
before or since.

595
00:23:21,199 --> 00:23:22,666
Jason Palmer.

596
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:24,200
He worked in
the New York office.

597
00:23:24,202 --> 00:23:27,003
Got a $5 million bonus in 2009.

598
00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:28,855
Then drowned,
while swimming in a lake

599
00:23:28,857 --> 00:23:30,206
near his home
in the Catskills.

600
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:31,424
The odd things is,

601
00:23:31,426 --> 00:23:32,959
when Jason Palmer
was in college,

602
00:23:32,961 --> 00:23:34,628
he was a beach lifeguard
at Martha's Vineyard.

603
00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:36,496
Uh, respectfully,
Mr. Holmes,

604
00:23:36,498 --> 00:23:39,549
you found Peter,
he O.D.'d, we're done.

605
00:23:39,551 --> 00:23:40,750
Peter Talbott was murdered.

606
00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:42,302
The police are
investigating now.

607
00:23:42,304 --> 00:23:44,354
I believe the man who killed him

608
00:23:44,356 --> 00:23:47,557
also killed your
previous COO, Gary Norris.

609
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:49,192
And these three
unfortunate souls.

610
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:50,593
Possibly one or two
others, as well.

611
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:53,029
I can't find a plausible
motive for anyone

612
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:55,615
outside the company to have
committed these murders.

613
00:23:55,617 --> 00:23:56,950
These are not crimes of passion.

614
00:23:56,952 --> 00:23:58,234
They're too
well concealed for that.

615
00:23:58,236 --> 00:23:59,953
They're crimes of opportunity.

616
00:23:59,955 --> 00:24:02,622
I think you may have
a sociopath in your midst.

617
00:24:02,624 --> 00:24:06,042
A particularly cunning,
methodical killer.

618
00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:08,044
If I'm right,
they wait, they analyze,

619
00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:10,330
and when the time is right
to give themselves a leg up,

620
00:24:10,332 --> 00:24:11,948
they pounce.

621
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:15,285
You're saying someone is killing
their way up the ladder?

622
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:16,653
That sounds insane to me.

623
00:24:16,655 --> 00:24:19,222
I'd love to be wrong.

624
00:24:19,224 --> 00:24:22,325
But someone did dose Peter
Talbott's salad with heroin.

625
00:24:22,327 --> 00:24:24,928
As for the rest,
you let me do my work.

626
00:24:24,930 --> 00:24:27,147
I'll need access
to your records.

627
00:24:27,149 --> 00:24:28,798
If this person is here,
I'll find them.

628
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,269
We control billions of dollars
worth of assets, Mr. Holmes.

629
00:24:33,271 --> 00:24:35,538
We can't give you
access to these files.

630
00:24:35,540 --> 00:24:37,340
They're confidential.
I don't need to audit you,

631
00:24:37,342 --> 00:24:39,042
I just need to do
some simple math.

632
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:41,161
There can't be that many people

633
00:24:41,163 --> 00:24:42,779
who worked in Denver in 2003,

634
00:24:42,781 --> 00:24:44,080
Dallas in 2005,

635
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:45,665
New York since 2009.

636
00:24:45,667 --> 00:24:47,017
If I can find
this person quickly,

637
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:48,952
I can wrap this up
with a minimum of scandal.

638
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:50,286
All right, enough.

639
00:24:50,288 --> 00:24:52,222
FOWKES:
This is not necessary.

640
00:24:52,224 --> 00:24:53,373
Are you listening to me?

641
00:24:53,375 --> 00:24:55,025
There may be a murderer
at Canon-Ebersole.

642
00:24:55,027 --> 00:24:57,010
There's not a killer.
You know how I know that?

643
00:24:57,012 --> 00:24:58,712
Because the only person
with the career path

644
00:24:58,714 --> 00:25:00,714
that you're describing is me.

645
00:25:00,716 --> 00:25:02,132
What are you saying?

646
00:25:02,134 --> 00:25:04,083
That I murdered, like,
what, like five people?

647
00:25:06,454 --> 00:25:08,087
Well, this is a bit awkward,

648
00:25:08,089 --> 00:25:10,974
but I-I'd say that you're
a damn good suspect.

649
00:25:16,036 --> 00:25:18,620
(doorbell rings)

650
00:25:18,622 --> 00:25:20,906
I thought I'd bring you
your check personally.

651
00:25:20,908 --> 00:25:22,742
Also, we need to talk.

652
00:25:22,743 --> 00:25:25,544
Do we?

653
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:29,081
Eggs?

654
00:25:29,083 --> 00:25:30,616
I'm sure I could
find another fork.

655
00:25:30,618 --> 00:25:32,568
I'm not hungry.
I came here to end this.

656
00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:33,869
Well, that should be
simple enough.

657
00:25:33,871 --> 00:25:35,320
Just confess.

658
00:25:35,322 --> 00:25:37,623
Save us both a great deal
of time and trouble.

659
00:25:37,625 --> 00:25:40,592
Do you have any idea
what you did to me today?

660
00:25:40,594 --> 00:25:42,961
Do you know what it takes
just to survive

661
00:25:42,963 --> 00:25:44,429
at a place
like Canon-Ebersole?

662
00:25:44,431 --> 00:25:46,465
I think avoiding you
would be a good start.

663
00:25:46,467 --> 00:25:49,301
I've never killed anyone.

664
00:25:49,303 --> 00:25:53,605
I went to parochial school,
Mr. Holmes.

665
00:25:53,607 --> 00:25:56,124
I've pretty much broken every
commandment they ever taught me.

666
00:25:56,126 --> 00:25:58,610
Father Ray probably
isn't very proud of me,

667
00:25:58,612 --> 00:26:01,647
but then again, Father Ray
doesn't have a country house.

668
00:26:01,649 --> 00:26:04,650
I was inches away
from becoming COO,

669
00:26:04,652 --> 00:26:06,134
which everybody knows

670
00:26:06,136 --> 00:26:08,070
is where they groom you
for the big chair.

671
00:26:08,072 --> 00:26:10,622
And you accuse me of murder.

672
00:26:10,624 --> 00:26:13,125
You think everybody in
that place isn't talking?

673
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,994
Gossip's poison
in that place.

674
00:26:15,996 --> 00:26:17,763
Doesn't matter that
I'm completely innocent.

675
00:26:17,765 --> 00:26:20,282
I'm never gonna get that job.

676
00:26:20,284 --> 00:26:22,033
Sorry. Are you done?

677
00:26:22,035 --> 00:26:24,386
Every time you say "innocent,"
I... I tune out.

678
00:26:24,388 --> 00:26:26,622
In that case, I'm just going to have
to prove it to you, aren't I?

679
00:26:26,624 --> 00:26:30,058
Miles Durham, the first
of these so-called murders.

680
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:31,760
He disappeared
during a camping trip.

681
00:26:31,762 --> 00:26:33,262
August 2003, right?

682
00:26:33,264 --> 00:26:36,265
He left August 7...

683
00:26:36,267 --> 00:26:40,269
He was supposed
to return August 9.

684
00:26:41,271 --> 00:26:43,105
What is this?
Medical records. Mine.

685
00:26:43,107 --> 00:26:46,275
I had elective surgery,
August 6, 2003.

686
00:26:46,277 --> 00:26:48,160
There were, uh...

687
00:26:48,162 --> 00:26:49,611
complications.

688
00:26:49,613 --> 00:26:52,564
I wasn't released
until August 12.

689
00:26:52,566 --> 00:26:54,232
Liposuction.
Rhytidoplasty.

690
00:26:54,234 --> 00:26:56,068
You had a face-lift.

691
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:58,870
You see many jowly men on the
cover of <i>Barron's,</i> Mr. Holmes?

692
00:26:58,872 --> 00:27:01,640
My point is, I couldn't have
murdered Miles Durham.

693
00:27:01,642 --> 00:27:03,525
And I'll tell you
something else.

694
00:27:03,527 --> 00:27:07,462
Dan Cho--
arrogant little pissant--

695
00:27:07,464 --> 00:27:10,182
no, he didn't work
for Canon-Ebersole in 2003,

696
00:27:10,184 --> 00:27:12,517
because he had a summer
internship with us

697
00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:14,386
while he was in business school.

698
00:27:14,388 --> 00:27:15,971
Worked at our Denver office.

699
00:27:15,973 --> 00:27:18,023
Here's his file.

700
00:27:18,025 --> 00:27:21,693
We hired him in 2005,
sent him to Dallas.

701
00:27:21,695 --> 00:27:23,928
You think there's a sociopath
working for us?

702
00:27:23,930 --> 00:27:27,098
Let me let you in on
a little secret, Mr. Holmes.

703
00:27:28,117 --> 00:27:30,101
We're all sociopaths.

704
00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:35,590
WATSON:
Hey.

705
00:27:35,592 --> 00:27:38,744
Hey, I'm trying to
read up there.

706
00:27:38,746 --> 00:27:39,961
This doesn't make any sense.

707
00:27:39,963 --> 00:27:42,064
Yes, Dan Cho
interned in Denver

708
00:27:42,066 --> 00:27:43,715
during the summer of 2003.

709
00:27:43,717 --> 00:27:45,751
But he didn't benefit
from the first murder.

710
00:27:45,753 --> 00:27:48,053
Company didn't even hire him
till two years later.

711
00:27:48,055 --> 00:27:49,638
First of all,
you're not even sure

712
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,989
Miles Durham's
disappearance was a murder.

713
00:27:50,991 --> 00:27:52,224
Okay, let's say it was.

714
00:27:52,226 --> 00:27:53,625
Maybe this guy Dan Cho

715
00:27:53,627 --> 00:27:55,394
killed him to get
a charge out of it.

716
00:27:55,396 --> 00:27:57,462
The-the murder was the benefit.

717
00:27:57,464 --> 00:27:58,764
People who enjoy killing

718
00:27:58,766 --> 00:28:00,565
like to share their
enthusiasm with others.

719
00:28:00,567 --> 00:28:03,268
They want everyone to know
there's a murderer out there.

720
00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:05,187
And anyway, even after
he was hired,

721
00:28:05,189 --> 00:28:06,855
he didn't benefit
from the deaths

722
00:28:06,857 --> 00:28:08,523
nearly as much as Jim Fowkes.

723
00:28:08,525 --> 00:28:10,776
But Jim Fowkes...

724
00:28:10,778 --> 00:28:12,744
Jim Fowkes didn't
do the first one!

725
00:28:12,746 --> 00:28:14,329
It would appear not!

726
00:28:14,331 --> 00:28:16,698
(phone chimes)

727
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,617
Marrying man?

728
00:28:18,619 --> 00:28:19,868
He just won't quit.

729
00:28:19,870 --> 00:28:21,319
He says he is married,

730
00:28:21,321 --> 00:28:23,355
but he wants to meet me
to explain himself.

731
00:28:23,357 --> 00:28:25,090
You should go.
Coffee with a creep?

732
00:28:25,092 --> 00:28:26,858
No, thanks.
If nothing else,

733
00:28:26,860 --> 00:28:29,227
it would be an interesting
experiment in deduction for you.

734
00:28:29,229 --> 00:28:30,495
Spot the lie.

735
00:28:30,497 --> 00:28:32,097
Besides...

736
00:28:32,099 --> 00:28:33,715
I need time to think,

737
00:28:33,717 --> 00:28:36,284
which means it's not gonna
get any quieter around here.

738
00:28:36,286 --> 00:28:38,887
I...

739
00:28:48,748 --> 00:28:51,900
Donna.

740
00:28:51,902 --> 00:28:53,402
Can I get you something?

741
00:28:53,404 --> 00:28:55,987
I'm good.

742
00:28:57,407 --> 00:28:59,958
How did you find
out I'm married?

743
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,411
Um... I thought you
wanted to explain yourself,

744
00:29:02,413 --> 00:29:04,045
not the other way around.
Okay, wait.

745
00:29:04,047 --> 00:29:06,264
I did lie to you.

746
00:29:06,266 --> 00:29:07,866
I did.

747
00:29:07,868 --> 00:29:10,252
But it's not what you think.

748
00:29:10,254 --> 00:29:12,587
I volunteer, uh,

749
00:29:12,589 --> 00:29:15,173
for a place called
Shoreline Community Services.

750
00:29:15,175 --> 00:29:16,925
It's a legal aid thing.

751
00:29:16,927 --> 00:29:20,178
We... work with people who are
seeking political asylum.

752
00:29:20,180 --> 00:29:21,530
A while back,

753
00:29:21,532 --> 00:29:23,815
I helped out with
a woman from Kosovo.

754
00:29:23,817 --> 00:29:26,017
Her father was a
general in the war,

755
00:29:26,019 --> 00:29:27,853
for the losing side,

756
00:29:27,855 --> 00:29:31,273
and when it ended, he
was shot in the street.

757
00:29:31,275 --> 00:29:33,909
She would have been killed
had she returned home.

758
00:29:33,911 --> 00:29:36,561
But the U.S. wouldn't
give her asylum.

759
00:29:38,748 --> 00:29:41,700
So you married her
to keep her in the country.

760
00:29:41,702 --> 00:29:43,535
Do you have a relationship?

761
00:29:43,537 --> 00:29:45,003
Mm...

762
00:29:45,005 --> 00:29:46,905
She lives in Hoboken.

763
00:29:46,907 --> 00:29:50,459
I check in on her
sometimes. That's it.

764
00:29:50,461 --> 00:29:52,577
We can get a divorce in a year,

765
00:29:52,579 --> 00:29:54,913
without the government
crawling all over us.

766
00:29:56,933 --> 00:29:59,301
I would have told
you eventually,

767
00:29:59,303 --> 00:30:00,836
if there was an "eventually""

768
00:30:00,838 --> 00:30:03,505
But, uh...

769
00:30:03,507 --> 00:30:06,741
but now I'm just... I'm sorry.

770
00:30:06,743 --> 00:30:08,310
(sighs)

771
00:30:08,312 --> 00:30:11,496
Helping her was a really
compassionate thing to do.

772
00:30:11,498 --> 00:30:14,098
Thank you.

773
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:17,402
But if you don't mind my asking,
how did you find out about it?

774
00:30:20,823 --> 00:30:21,957
(chimes)

775
00:30:21,959 --> 00:30:23,241
HOLMES:
Excuse me.

776
00:30:23,243 --> 00:30:24,743
Donna?

777
00:30:24,745 --> 00:30:26,745
It is Donna, right?

778
00:30:26,747 --> 00:30:28,330
(sighs)

779
00:30:28,332 --> 00:30:30,615
No one ever remembers the
secretary, do they, Donna?

780
00:30:30,617 --> 00:30:32,133
Excuse me, what?

781
00:30:32,135 --> 00:30:34,336
As a career choice,
has its limits.

782
00:30:34,338 --> 00:30:37,589
But then it does afford one a
certain cloak of invisibility.

783
00:30:37,591 --> 00:30:39,641
I-I don't know
what you're talking about.

784
00:30:39,643 --> 00:30:41,626
But I'm pretty sure
that Mr. Fowkes

785
00:30:41,628 --> 00:30:43,628
had you banned
from the building.

786
00:30:43,630 --> 00:30:45,597
You've been with him
a long time, haven't you?

787
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:47,432
Until tonight,
I just assumed that you'd...

788
00:30:47,434 --> 00:30:49,734
come to work with him
after he moved to New York.

789
00:30:49,736 --> 00:30:52,136
Then I saw your name
as the emergency contact

790
00:30:52,138 --> 00:30:54,573
for a surgical procedure
he had in Denver.

791
00:30:55,908 --> 00:30:57,826
You followed him to Dallas, too,
didn't you?

792
00:30:57,828 --> 00:31:00,579
Mr. Fowkes is a good boss,
and we're loyal to each other.

793
00:31:00,581 --> 00:31:02,480
He's certainly had
a meteoric rise.

794
00:31:02,482 --> 00:31:06,117
And he probably owes some of
that to you, doesn't he, Donna?

795
00:31:07,987 --> 00:31:09,421
Jim Fowkes wasn't
the only one to benefit

796
00:31:09,423 --> 00:31:12,257
from the deaths
at Canon-Ebersole, was he?

797
00:31:12,259 --> 00:31:13,875
Do I need to call security?

798
00:31:13,877 --> 00:31:15,594
By all means. Hmm.
Let's loop them

799
00:31:15,596 --> 00:31:16,761
into the conversation.

800
00:31:16,763 --> 00:31:17,963
(elevator bell dings)

801
00:31:19,682 --> 00:31:21,049
No?

802
00:31:21,051 --> 00:31:23,051
Didn't think so.

803
00:31:25,438 --> 00:31:28,339
Quite obvious when you look
at it in the proper light.

804
00:31:28,341 --> 00:31:30,976
Every time Jim got promoted,
you had something to gain.

805
00:31:30,978 --> 00:31:32,944
Pay raise,
stock options.

806
00:31:32,946 --> 00:31:35,730
The company even contributes
to your retirement plan now.

807
00:31:35,732 --> 00:31:38,149
So? I've given them
years of my life.

808
00:31:38,151 --> 00:31:39,651
Must be quite
a feeling--

809
00:31:39,653 --> 00:31:41,570
steering the fate
of a giant company

810
00:31:41,572 --> 00:31:43,221
from your tiny
little cubicle.

811
00:31:43,223 --> 00:31:45,189
(sighs)
Get away from me.

812
00:31:45,191 --> 00:31:48,326
Question is did your boss know
or were you working alone?

813
00:31:48,328 --> 00:31:50,929
If you collaborated, it would
behoove you to start talking.

814
00:31:50,931 --> 00:31:53,898
First one to tattle gets
the shortest sentence.

815
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:56,501
I've seen executives
like you come and go.

816
00:31:56,503 --> 00:31:59,370
A little bit of smarts,
a whole lot of ego.

817
00:31:59,372 --> 00:32:01,222
Take my word, you've never
seen anyone like me.

818
00:32:01,224 --> 00:32:04,476
Oh, sure, I have.
My bosses use $5,000 suits

819
00:32:04,478 --> 00:32:06,061
to get attention.

820
00:32:06,063 --> 00:32:07,879
You use a scarf and
an old T-shirt.

821
00:32:07,881 --> 00:32:09,898
(chuckles) You're so proud
of yourself

822
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:11,399
for what you think
you discovered,

823
00:32:11,401 --> 00:32:13,051
you just couldn't
wait to tell me.

824
00:32:13,053 --> 00:32:14,903
Even if it meant
following me into an empty

825
00:32:14,905 --> 00:32:16,438
parking garage.

826
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,657
(stun gun zapping)

827
00:32:35,151 --> 00:32:37,351
(passing car horn honking)

828
00:32:36,738 --> 00:32:38,155
(groans)

829
00:32:38,157 --> 00:32:39,523
You're awake.

830
00:32:39,525 --> 00:32:40,908
Good.

831
00:32:40,910 --> 00:32:42,859
Yeah, I've pursued
my fair share of...

832
00:32:42,861 --> 00:32:44,378
killers, Miss Kaplan.

833
00:32:44,380 --> 00:32:46,697
Most of them... most of them
are dreary people, but you

834
00:32:46,699 --> 00:32:49,667
I-I've a certain fascination
with. You, uh...

835
00:32:49,669 --> 00:32:52,336
(sighs)
Such initiative.

836
00:32:52,338 --> 00:32:53,721
Such patience.

837
00:32:53,723 --> 00:32:55,556
I don't think
this is gonna work out

838
00:32:55,558 --> 00:32:58,375
for you though.
Too rash.

839
00:32:58,377 --> 00:32:59,977
Did you tell anyone about me?

840
00:32:59,979 --> 00:33:01,929
Or did you just
rush right down to grandstand?

841
00:33:01,931 --> 00:33:04,548
Oh, I e-mailed several colleagues...
No, you didn't.

842
00:33:04,550 --> 00:33:06,183
We're gonna be
at Mr. Fowkes'

843
00:33:06,185 --> 00:33:08,152
country estate in a
couple of minutes.

844
00:33:08,154 --> 00:33:12,439
In a week or two, after somebody
calls in an anonymous tip,

845
00:33:12,441 --> 00:33:14,057
the police are going to find

846
00:33:14,059 --> 00:33:16,577
your body buried
on the property.

847
00:33:16,579 --> 00:33:18,362
And then everyone will know
that you were right

848
00:33:18,364 --> 00:33:22,583
and that Mr. Fowkes killed
you before you could prove it.

849
00:33:22,585 --> 00:33:24,418
You're gonna frame your boss.

850
00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:27,371
Daniel Cho is gonna
get that promotion.

851
00:33:27,373 --> 00:33:30,708
I imagine he'll need an
experienced executive secretary

852
00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:33,177
to watch his back
as he rises to the top.

853
00:33:33,179 --> 00:33:35,429
Hmm, I was
wrong about you.

854
00:33:35,431 --> 00:33:37,598
You <i>are</i> smart.

855
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,767
Oh, that's quite a compliment
coming from you.

856
00:33:39,769 --> 00:33:42,853
Canon-Ebersole should make you
the managing director.

857
00:33:42,855 --> 00:33:46,256
They don't have the imagination
for that kind of move.

858
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:49,777
(phone chimes)

859
00:33:49,779 --> 00:33:53,063
"Joan." That's the woman that
you're always with, right?

860
00:33:53,065 --> 00:33:56,233
That's the fifth time she texted
in the last 20 minutes.

861
00:33:56,235 --> 00:33:57,618
She won't stop, you know.

862
00:33:57,620 --> 00:33:59,603
Very high-strung.

863
00:33:59,605 --> 00:34:01,872
I wouldn't be surprised
if she gets the police involved.

864
00:34:01,874 --> 00:34:03,874
Well, in that case,
we should let her know

865
00:34:03,876 --> 00:34:06,810
that everything's okay.

866
00:34:06,812 --> 00:34:08,679
(pushes buttons on phone)

867
00:34:08,681 --> 00:34:09,880
I'm a sober companion.

868
00:34:09,882 --> 00:34:11,749
I work with recovering
drug addicts.

869
00:34:11,751 --> 00:34:13,083
Sherlock is my client.

870
00:34:13,085 --> 00:34:15,135
His father hired me
to help him stay clean.

871
00:34:15,137 --> 00:34:17,421
The only reason
I am telling you this

872
00:34:17,423 --> 00:34:18,772
is because I think
he may have relapsed.

873
00:34:18,774 --> 00:34:20,591
I need your help to find him.

874
00:34:20,593 --> 00:34:22,292
What makes you
think he relapsed?

875
00:34:22,294 --> 00:34:25,128
The heroin from the crime scene
the other day.

876
00:34:25,130 --> 00:34:26,313
It affected him.

877
00:34:26,315 --> 00:34:28,465
I think it brought
some things back.

878
00:34:30,151 --> 00:34:32,352
(phone chimes)

879
00:34:32,354 --> 00:34:34,405
It's Sherlock.

880
00:34:34,407 --> 00:34:36,990
He says he's fine,
he's heading back.

881
00:34:36,992 --> 00:34:39,309
See? There you go.

882
00:34:39,311 --> 00:34:40,711
Nothing to
worry about.

883
00:34:40,713 --> 00:34:42,613
"See you soon."

884
00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:45,516
HOLMES:
<i>No, seriously?</i>

885
00:34:45,518 --> 00:34:47,885
You honestly expect me
to dig my own grave?

886
00:34:47,887 --> 00:34:49,987
Have you ever
been gut-shot?

887
00:34:49,989 --> 00:34:53,957
No. I imagine it makes it
difficult to do manual labor.

888
00:34:53,959 --> 00:34:56,660
Shoot me, yank my fingernails
out-- the answer's still no.

889
00:34:56,662 --> 00:34:58,395
I categorically refuse
to dig a hole for you

890
00:34:58,397 --> 00:34:59,596
to bury me in, sorry.

891
00:34:59,598 --> 00:35:01,432
DONNA:
Fine.

892
00:35:01,434 --> 00:35:03,467
I'll do it myself.

893
00:35:03,469 --> 00:35:04,968
It's not supposed
to be that deep.

894
00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:07,838
They're supposed
to find you.

895
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,807
Tell me something.

896
00:35:09,809 --> 00:35:11,875
How did you get started
with all this?

897
00:35:11,877 --> 00:35:14,878
You must be very proud
of your projects.

898
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,282
It must kill you to have to
keep it all to yourself, hmm?

899
00:35:18,284 --> 00:35:21,485
I-I'm about to die, so
now's your chance to share.

900
00:35:21,487 --> 00:35:25,022
Good to share, yeah.

901
00:35:25,024 --> 00:35:26,690
Tell me.

902
00:35:26,692 --> 00:35:29,293
What launched the career
of Donna Kaplan,

903
00:35:29,295 --> 00:35:30,794
corporate sociopath?

904
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:33,197
Mr. Fowkes was a bonds salesman
back in Denver,

905
00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:35,799
the company was downsizing.

906
00:35:35,801 --> 00:35:37,734
They were either going
to cut his job...

907
00:35:37,736 --> 00:35:38,902
(siren chirps)

908
00:35:38,904 --> 00:35:41,138
What are they doing here?

909
00:35:41,140 --> 00:35:43,340
HOLMES:
I'm not really sure.

910
00:35:43,342 --> 00:35:45,208
Bought me some
time, though.

911
00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:46,894
Did you know I pick locks?

912
00:35:46,896 --> 00:35:49,229
(stun gun zapping)
Pockets, too.

913
00:35:55,103 --> 00:35:57,220
(indistinct radio transmission)

914
00:35:57,222 --> 00:35:59,773
I can't take a tranquilizer, but
if it's not too much trouble,

915
00:35:59,775 --> 00:36:02,376
I'd love ten minutes
hooked up to your oxygen rig.

916
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,063
I'll just help myself then.

917
00:36:07,065 --> 00:36:09,750
There's plenty of oxygen
out here, you know.

918
00:36:09,752 --> 00:36:11,668
Pure stuff's better.

919
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:13,504
It invigorates and restores.

920
00:36:13,506 --> 00:36:15,756
Haven't you heard?
I've been through a trauma.

921
00:36:18,593 --> 00:36:21,678
That was, uh, very convenient

922
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,298
the local police showing up
when they did.

923
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:27,083
Too convenient
to be a coincidence.

924
00:36:27,085 --> 00:36:29,553
It was the text message
that Donna sent

925
00:36:29,555 --> 00:36:30,804
from my phone, wasn't it?

926
00:36:30,806 --> 00:36:33,440
"Everything's fine.
Phone was off.

927
00:36:33,442 --> 00:36:35,943
My mistake. See you soon."
That's it.

928
00:36:35,945 --> 00:36:38,762
No emoticons,
no indecipherable acronyms.

929
00:36:38,764 --> 00:36:42,149
It didn't read
like a teenager on a sugar high.

930
00:36:42,151 --> 00:36:44,318
Which meant you didn't write it.

931
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,070
I manipulated her
into writing it for me.

932
00:36:47,072 --> 00:36:49,323
I knew she'd never be able
to duplicate my flair

933
00:36:49,325 --> 00:36:52,075
for our evolving mother tongue.

934
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:54,895
I also knew...
I-I hoped

935
00:36:54,897 --> 00:36:56,947
that once you realized
the message wasn't from me,

936
00:36:56,949 --> 00:37:00,133
you'd know I was in trouble.

937
00:37:01,252 --> 00:37:03,086
From there, it's relatively
simple for the police

938
00:37:03,088 --> 00:37:05,672
to run a cellular interceptor
on my phone,

939
00:37:05,674 --> 00:37:07,674
find my location, quick call
to the local authorities...

940
00:37:07,676 --> 00:37:09,459
I'm sorry, are you trying
to take credit

941
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:11,345
for the fact
that I saved your life?

942
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:15,682
And so soon after you
promoted me to bodyguard.

943
00:37:15,684 --> 00:37:17,734
It was a
collaboration.

944
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:20,654
Well done, Watson.

945
00:37:22,807 --> 00:37:26,577
Your deductive skills are not
unworthy of further development.

946
00:37:26,579 --> 00:37:30,981
I think that was a compliment,
buried in a double negative,

947
00:37:30,983 --> 00:37:33,316
so... thanks.

948
00:37:33,318 --> 00:37:35,085
MAN:
Detective?

949
00:37:35,087 --> 00:37:37,037
(indistinct,
overlapping chatter)

950
00:37:37,039 --> 00:37:38,789
Look, you should know,

951
00:37:38,791 --> 00:37:41,425
I went to Captain Gregson
when I couldn't find you.

952
00:37:41,427 --> 00:37:43,493
I had to...

953
00:37:43,495 --> 00:37:46,630
explain some things to him.

954
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:53,387
I'm sorry.

955
00:37:55,390 --> 00:37:58,392
You might want to have a talk
with him.

956
00:38:05,182 --> 00:38:06,400
(knocking)

957
00:38:06,402 --> 00:38:08,318
Come in.

958
00:38:13,157 --> 00:38:15,692
(sighs heavily)

959
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:18,795
You know... (clears throat)

960
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:20,497
You were busy
at Jim Fowkes' house,

961
00:38:20,499 --> 00:38:23,066
and I didn't get a chance
to pull you aside.

962
00:38:23,068 --> 00:38:26,670
But I didn't want to let more
time pass without having a word.

963
00:38:26,672 --> 00:38:29,372
We have something to talk about?

964
00:38:31,225 --> 00:38:33,560
There are any number of reasons

965
00:38:33,562 --> 00:38:36,212
why I didn't tell you
about my history.

966
00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:39,716
Um... I've told myself dozens,

967
00:38:39,718 --> 00:38:43,186
all of them specious.

968
00:38:47,809 --> 00:38:51,161
In the end, um,
it... it is simple.

969
00:38:51,163 --> 00:38:53,864
Uh, I was... I was...
I was embarrassed.

970
00:38:57,702 --> 00:39:00,537
Since we first collaborated,

971
00:39:00,539 --> 00:39:03,623
you've always held me
and my work in a certain esteem.

972
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:09,596
I guess I'm-I'm... I'm, uh...
I'm m-more vain about that

973
00:39:09,598 --> 00:39:12,248
than I would care to admit.

974
00:39:14,886 --> 00:39:17,220
So, I'm sorry, 'cause you...

975
00:39:17,222 --> 00:39:19,773
you deserved to know.

976
00:39:19,775 --> 00:39:21,758
I <i>did</i> know.

977
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,527
I beg your pardon?

978
00:39:23,529 --> 00:39:25,979
Do you honestly think
I'd let you consult

979
00:39:25,981 --> 00:39:29,099
for the NYPD
without doing my homework?

980
00:39:29,101 --> 00:39:32,736
You told me Joan was
your personal valet.

981
00:39:32,738 --> 00:39:35,288
Do you think I'm an idiot?

982
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:37,607
No.

983
00:39:37,609 --> 00:39:39,543
You are above average
in intelligence.

984
00:39:39,545 --> 00:39:42,779
And for a policeman,
I would say, top tier.

985
00:39:42,781 --> 00:39:45,582
I've known about your
problem for a while now.

986
00:39:45,584 --> 00:39:47,317
Why didn't you say anything?

987
00:39:47,319 --> 00:39:49,653
I did, sort of.

988
00:39:49,655 --> 00:39:52,255
A while back,
I asked you out for a drink.

989
00:39:52,257 --> 00:39:54,825
You said, "No"

990
00:39:54,827 --> 00:39:56,493
I figured you'd talk about it

991
00:39:56,495 --> 00:39:58,929
when you were ready
to talk about it.

992
00:39:58,931 --> 00:40:01,698
Was I happy
that you didn't tell me?

993
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:04,301
No.

994
00:40:05,536 --> 00:40:08,438
(sighs)

995
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,643
But your work hasn't slipped
one bit since Scotland Yard.

996
00:40:16,013 --> 00:40:18,915
Thank you.

997
00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:21,752
Well, not everyone

998
00:40:21,754 --> 00:40:23,987
is gonna see it
my way, so,

999
00:40:23,989 --> 00:40:26,456
I'm gonna do us both a favor

1000
00:40:26,458 --> 00:40:29,526
and keep a lid on this.

1001
00:40:48,529 --> 00:40:51,181
(phone chimes)

1002
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:55,902
Unbelievable.

1003
00:40:55,904 --> 00:40:58,238
What is?

1004
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:00,874
It's just that green
card marriage guy.

1005
00:41:00,876 --> 00:41:03,043
Emily's having this dinner party
thing next week,

1006
00:41:03,045 --> 00:41:05,495
and we talked
about maybe going together,

1007
00:41:05,497 --> 00:41:07,964
and I think now
he's blowing me off.

1008
00:41:07,966 --> 00:41:10,533
But you know what
the irony is?

1009
00:41:10,535 --> 00:41:13,804
I don't even want to be in a
relationship right now. I...

1010
00:41:13,806 --> 00:41:16,173
It's just that Emily
went to so much trouble.

1011
00:41:16,175 --> 00:41:19,209
Yet his apparent
mutual disinterest irks you.

1012
00:41:19,211 --> 00:41:21,978
It's crazy, I know.

1013
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:26,382
If I had to guess, and by
sitting there talking about it--

1014
00:41:26,384 --> 00:41:28,384
you're forcing me to--
I would say

1015
00:41:28,386 --> 00:41:30,737
he finds your analytical
skills intimidating.

1016
00:41:30,739 --> 00:41:32,189
He was a little weirded out

1017
00:41:32,191 --> 00:41:34,357
when I told him
I looked him up online,

1018
00:41:34,359 --> 00:41:37,160
but he lied about being married,
so we are square, right?

1019
00:41:37,162 --> 00:41:39,963
He might not see it that way.
Doesn't, apparently.

1020
00:41:41,899 --> 00:41:44,400
It has its costs.

1021
00:41:44,402 --> 00:41:46,503
What does?

1022
00:41:46,505 --> 00:41:49,572
Learning to see the puzzle
in everything.

1023
00:41:49,574 --> 00:41:51,758
They're everywhere.

1024
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,045
Once you start looking,
it's impossible to stop.

1025
00:41:56,697 --> 00:41:59,516
It just so happens
that people,

1026
00:41:59,518 --> 00:42:01,935
and all the deceits
and delusions

1027
00:42:01,937 --> 00:42:04,888
that inform
everything they do,

1028
00:42:04,890 --> 00:42:07,107
tend to be the most
fascinating puzzles of all.

1029
00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:10,093
Of course,

1030
00:42:10,095 --> 00:42:12,929
they don't always appreciate
being seen as such.

1031
00:42:14,615 --> 00:42:17,934
Seems like a lonely way to live.

1032
00:42:19,036 --> 00:42:23,206
As I said, it has its costs.

1033
