RACHEL: Hey, you guys.

This cave wasn't on the map
stolen from the museum
in Cairo.

We're here three weeks,
Rachel, and now
you tell us this?

What difference
does it make?

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
English, Kareem.

How do you know
there are two maps?

Professor Abrams told me.

Well, now it makes sense.

Right.

Hey, you guys.
I think I found something.

KAREEM: That's it.
That's it!

Gentle.

(KAREEM SPEAKING

RACHEL: David,
further that way.

KAREEM: No, no, please.
Let's see how big it is.

That's it.

(ALL GRUNTING)

Ready?

Good.
Go.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

Hello?

KIDNAPPER:
Follow my instructions
on the DVD.

If you deviate
from any of the instructions,

you'll never see
your daughter alive again.

RUTH: No. Let me go!

KIDNAPPER:
I want $2 million
in 50s and 100s.

No consecutive serial bills.
No!

No new bills.
No marked bills.

Do not involve the police
or your daughter will die.

Stop it!

(GROANING)

Mommy, I'm scared.

(WHIMPERING)

KIDNAPPER: You'll never

MOORE: Did you have
to throw him out of
the window, Shep?

I needed some air.

Could have made a call
before you pulled a Die Hard.

Your phone was busy, Moore.

Maybe you should
spring for an extra line.

Hey, you were a cop
for 25 and change.

You know the routine.

The family hired me
to find the girl, Parks,
after they lost faith in you.

Oh, yeah.
And you found her,
all right.

Look, Shep, I know
you've had a rough day

and I know how
you take it personal

when things don't go
the way you planned.

So why don't you go home,
have a couple of cool ones,

get it behind you, okay?

All right, partner.

Hey, you know, Shepherd,
we had these guys as suspects

in two other kidnap
for ransom cases.

Does that surprise you?

No. What surprises me,
Parks,

is that you didn't
connect these guys
to the girl's kidnapping.

I did.

Hey, you know...
Where you going?

I'm not finished
with you yet, pal.

You aren't, but I am.
I got a family to notify.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

I'm looking for a guy
by the name of Zalman.

Zalman. Doesn't ring a bell?
Are you sure?

Came here like
in the mid '40s.
He's a cutter.

Shalom, Rabbi.
Do you have a minute?

Of course.
How can I help you?

I'm in town from New York
for a couple of days

and I'm trying
to locate a great uncle.

He immigrated to this area
around 1947, '48.

He survived Auschwitz.

What's his surname?

Zalman, with a "Z."

Zalman. No.

What kind of work did he do?

Jewelry business.
He was a cutter.

The only cutter
I know of that age
is Isaac Teller.

Isaac Teller.

* Not too bad

* Not too good

* Just medium

* Ho, ho, ho

Okay.

Hello? Isaac?

LIZ: Hello, Isaac.
It's me.

I'm in here.

Where are you?
I'm here.

(CHUCKLING)

We're gonna be late
for work.

Have you taken your meds?

Elizabeth, you're the best.
But why do you have to...

Just get dressed already.
We're gonna be late.

ISAAC: Why are you
such a nudge?

(DIRK SPEAKING GERMAN)

(MAN ON PHONE
SPEAKING GERMAN)

I've got three estates
to look at this morning.

I'm gonna need you
to appraise a few stones
for me.

Isaac, are you
paying attention? Hello?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, of course.
Three estates.

Elizabeth, tonight,
after we close the shop,

how about you and I
go out for dinner, huh?

My treat.

Excuse me.
Are you Mr. Schachter?

And you are?

Vladimir Yukov.

What can I do for you,
Mr. Yukov?

I need to have
some jewelry appraised.

Antique diamonds,
some rare colors.

Mostly large, uncut stones.

I'm told there's a cutter
who is in his 80s,

who's supposed
to be the best.

That could only
be Isaac Teller.

Isaac Teller?

Yeah, he's a close friend.

Do you know how
I can reach him?

He has a jewelry store
across town
with his niece, Elizabeth.

You wouldn't have
his address, would you?

Sure.

It's 137 West Broadway.
(CAMERA CLICKING)

Thank you, Mr. Schachter.

Mmm, not at all.

Where are we going?

If you want to, let's walk.
Let's go, then.

If you want to go
to the art museum,

we'll go there.
We'll have a nice time.

What's going on?
You've hardly said
a word to me tonight.

I've done some reflecting
these last few days.

More reflecting than usual?

Elizabeth, years ago,
before your parents
passed away,

I promised them
I'd always take care of you.

You're the last
of our family.

Don't start talking
about dying. I asked...

All right, shush,
shush, dear.

Elizabeth,
you've really become
a very good cutter.

This is my legacy to you.

It's a diagram of a cut
I designed
when I was in Auschwitz.

It's called
the Tolkowsky Modification.

Once you perfect it,

it will make you
a great cutter.

(CAR DOOR SLAMMING)

(INDISTINCT)

Ruth Mueller's rosary
is tomorrow afternoon.

Do you feel like going?

Ay, for a child to die
before a parent, a tragedy.

I'm just not up to it.

Please give the family
my respects.

SHEPHERD:
The family hired me
to find the girl, Parks.

Find the girl, Parks.

PARKS: And you found her,
all right.

Found her, all right.

(GRUNTING)

SHEPHERD:
I'm sorry I was too late.

I'm sorry I was too late.

Too late.

(MAN SCREAMING)

(MURMURING)

(INAUDIBLE)

The family won't accept
the money, Shep.

I really appreciate it,
Monsignor,
but I didn't earn it.

But you found Ruth.
You gave them
a chance to bury her.

Then start a scholarship
in her name,
but I can't take it.

I understand.
Good to see you again, Shep.

Mrs. Mueller,
I'm so sorry.

Thank you. Thank you.

(INAUDIBLE)

(PHONE RINGING)

DIRK: Listen.
Just pick up the niece

and bring her
to the warehouse.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

ISAAC: Yes?

Good afternoon, sir.
I'm Vladimir Yukov.

Moshe Schachter has given me
the name of Isaac Teller.

Moshe Schachter.

Yes. Come in, please.

Oh, thank you.

Mr. Schachter tells me
you're a great cutter.

I only do special jobs.

Most of the cutting
is done by my niece,
Elizabeth.

The eyes, the hands,
they are not
what they once were.

You understand.

But you are available
to consult?

Perhaps.

I have two stones
consigned to me
for cutting.

A white and a red.

A man could live 10 lifetimes
without ever setting eyes
on stones like these.

Sometimes I feel
I have lived that long.

Have you ever seen two stones

each more than 500 karats
in the rough?

(CHUCKLING) Never.

This I would like to see.

Where do you have them?

Close by and very secure.

I'm gonna kill you!

(GUNSHOT)

SHEPHERD:
Hey, lady, wait.

SERGEANT: Police!

Lose the .45, pal.

Relax. I'm the good guy.

Move away from the stiff.
Do it slow.

You on the ground,
don't move!

Down! Don't move!

(GUN FIRING)

1Now he was the bad guy.

(PHONE RINGING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Headquarters tells us
that our man is a freelancer,

speaks foreign languages
fluently,

and has used
13 different names
that we know of.

PARKS: As you can see
by these photographs here,

he's also
a master of disguises.

According to Interpol,
our suspect murdered
a team of five archeologists

at an excavation site
here in the Sinai Desert.

For this.
The Breastplate of Aaron.

The Breastplate of Aaron
is one of Israel's

most sacred
religious artifacts

and it may now
be here in Spokane.

If we find our man,
we may just
find this artifact.

Now I don't have to tell you,
he's armed and dangerous,

so watch your backs.

Mr. Teller, please.

Oh.

May I?

Certainly.

Oh,

these are the most
magnificent stones
I've ever seen.

So, Mr. Teller,
are you available to consult?

(CHUCKLING)
You have to ask?

What, uh, design
do you have in mind?

I want them cut
into matching brilliants.

Five have been considered.

The King variation,
the briolette.

The trilliant,
the navette variation.

What is the fifth cut?

Eighty-five facets,
first designed
by Marcel Tolkowsky

as a variation
of his original brilliant.

And then in Auschwitz,

you changed it, perfected it.

The Tolkowsky Modification.

Who are you?

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

(GRUNTING)

(VOICES ON RADIO)

Isaac?

Isaac, you here?

ISAAC: This is
my legacy to you.

LIZ: No!

As I told your buddies
behind the mirror,

I don't know the girl.

(CHUCKLING)

Let me get this straight.

You see a girl get snatched,
you chase the car,

you take out two thugs,
and that's your story,
Shepherd?

Well, not exactly, Parks.

What do you mean?

Well, I took out one thug
and your buddies
took out one thug.

Oh, boy.

You just think
you're real funny, don't you?

About as funny
as your questions are stupid.

All right,
both of you,
knock it off.

Hi, you guys.
Hey, wait. What the hell
you doing in here?

Hey, do you mind
if I take my client
to breakfast,

'cause I'm sure
you haven't fed him yet.

Counselor,
who the hell called you?

Heard on my
police scanner.

Nice suit, Moore.
Makes you look taller.

Say, where do you
keep the batteries
for that shirt, Eddie?

You're a scream.

I'm finally
taking a vacation.

Where you going?

Paradise, baby.

Where they bury pigs
in a volcano.

Now, Shep,
think you can
do me a favor?

Stay out of trouble,
stop killing people,
just till I get back.

I'll give it a shot.

You know, the press is gonna
be staking your place out
again after this one.

Yeah, you're right.

(KEYS CLINKING)

No parties.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Hey, Shep.
Hey, Alena.

Oh, um, Eddie told me
about a no-name woman
calling him

about me being sweated
in major crimes.

Any idea who that would be?

This, uh, this no-name female,
what did she sound like,
Counselor?

(RAZZING)

Gypsy. Yup.

Gypsy-Ukrainian,
if I had to guess.

Gypsy-Ukrainian.

ALENA: Hmm.

Can't imagine
who that would be.

Excuse me.

(SIGHS)

(IN UKRANIAN ACCENT)
Don't be strangers, boys.

If I could fight,
I would smack you.

You should have married her.

Been there, done that, Eddie.

Now am I gonna have a problem
with my PI license
over this?

Shep, come on.
I'll take care of it
before I leave.

You're a good buddy
and a good lawyer.

I know. I'm the best.

Ah, I wouldn't go that far.

Miss Teller?

I'm Lieutenant Moore
with the Spokane PD.

This is Special Agent Parks
with the FBI.

Where were you last night?

Can never find a cop
when you need one.

About last night,
you left the scene
of a double homicide

and then waited 12 hours
before coming in to report
your uncle Isaac missing.

MOORE: Why the delay?

I left because I had no idea
who was shooting at whom
or why.

So why wait 12 hours?

I was hoping my uncle
might come home.

So, what about my diamonds?

Well, we don't mean
to be presumptuous.

Oh, go ahead,
be presumptuous.

Some investigators
might suspect that
you set this whole thing up

and it went down all wrong.

What about the guy
in the van?

Did you question him?

You mean John Shepherd,
the man that saved your life.

And the answer is,
yes, we did.

Okay, then.

Excuse me.

Miss Teller,
three years ago,
you stabbed a man

that tried to
rob your uncle.

And tried to rape me,
and you saw the verdict.

Justifiable homicide.

Are you suggesting
that I set up the robbery,
too?

Look, I'm not missing.
My uncle is missing,

so, if you'll excuse me,
I have to plan another crime.

She's dirty.

Why aren't you working,
cutter?

Listen to me,
whoever you are,

I'm not going to
do this anymore.

You want to play? We'll play.

Look, I survived four years
in Auschwitz.

You cannot threaten me.

Elizabeth.

What have you
done with Elizabeth?

Cut the stones, old man,
or I'll bring Elizabeth to you

one piece at a time.

ISAAC: This is
my legacy to you.

It's a diagram of a cut
I designed
when I was in Auschwitz.

It's called
the Tolkowsky Modification.

It will make you
a great cutter.

(SIGHING)

(DOORBELL BUZZING)
Come in. Door's open.

(DOOR OPENING)

I want my diamonds,
Mr. Shepherd.

What diamonds?

The ones you stole
in the park.

Stole? From who?
From me.

Okay, describe the diamonds.

They were rough, uncut.

I didn't get around
to counting them.

Let me get this straight.

You're looking for diamonds
that you can't describe

and you don't know
how many of them there are,

and you want me to believe
they're yours.

Oh, you better believe
they're mine, and you better
give them to me now.

Okay, okay.
I won't kid anymore.
Here.

And by the way,
there's 13 of them,
if you want to count them.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Is there anything else
I can do for you, Miss, um...

Liz Teller.

And, yes, there is.

I've been told
you're the best.
It's about a missing person.

Who's missing?

My uncle, Isaac Teller.

How long has he been gone?

Since last night.

Wait. Last night?
How do you know
he's really missing?

Maybe he's with his girlfriend
having a wild...

He's over 80 years old,
and he doesn't
have a girlfriend.

I've checked with his friends.
No one's seen him.

Look, Miss Teller,
when most people hire me
to find someone,

it's because
the cops have struck out,
and I'm their last resort.

I just want you to find him.

How much?

Well, if I don't find him,
nothing.

But if I do find him...

$20,000 cash.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Excuse me?

Oh, it's an expression
in the diamond business

meaning luck and blessing
when you make a deal
on a handshake.

Okay, deal.

Well, who was the last
to see him?

I know he had a visitor.

How do you know that?

Because there were two glasses
on his living room table.

Did you touch these?
Uh-uh.

Well, maybe you're
in the wrong business.

(ELECTRICITY SURGES)

What's that all about?

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

What's the problem?
Hey, I'm sorry
to bother you today, sir,

but I think
you might have a problem
with your fuse box.

Okay, follow me.

Thank you.

SHEPHERD:
Am I the only one?

No, actually,
the whole building's down.

I've been working
on the stinking basement
for the last two hours.

Ma'am.

There it is.

All righty. Right to it.

(GRUNTING)

LIZ: Shepherd!

(GRUNTING)

Come on!

(GROANING)

Come on!

(GLASS SHATTERING)

(THUDDING)

This table wasn't broken
when I was here.

Well, I'm sure your uncle
didn't do that.

So someone came back here
for the tea glass
with his print on it.

And it looks like
he got a little bit upset
when he didn't find it.

Well, I have to assume
your uncle was kidnapped.

Forget the assumption.
He was kidnapped.

Who would do such a thing
to such a sweet man?

This your uncle?
Yes.

SHEPHERD:
Can I borrow it?
Mmm-hmm.

Why him?
What's his background?

He was born in Poland,
but he didn't get out
before the Nazis.

Besides my parents,
who brought him here
after the war,

no one else in the family
survived the Holocaust.

How'd you get into
the jewelry business?

Family. Five generations.

Who trained you?

After my parents passed away,

Isaac sent me to Antwerp
to train with the masters.

And so now I do
all the cutting,

and he does
the important appraisals.

Would you like some tea?

Yeah, sure.

Why no ransom demand?

You tell me.

(GROANING)

Shepherd?

Shepherd!

(GASPING)

Don't say a word.
He'll be all right.

(PANTING)

Shepherd.

DIRK: Cut the stones,
old man,

or I'll bring
Elizabeth to you

one piece at a time.

One piece at a time.

One piece at a time.
One piece at a time.

(TRAIN RUMBLING)

Whoa, what a place.
Who lives here?

My lawyer, Eddie.

How'd you guys meet?

Oh, we met on a serial
murder investigation.

Eddie had a female client
that went missing,

and I was the lead
investigator on the case.

I finally found the girl,
well, what was left of her.

And soon after that,
I retired from the force.

And then you became a PI?

Yeah.

Liz, don't answer the phone
unless you hear my voice.

Well, well, wait a minute.

(STAMMERING) Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

You're not leaving me here.

Look, I'll only be gone
for a little while, okay?

And don't open the door
unless you know it's me.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Okay, now, that is
Isaac Teller's fingerprint.

What about the other print?

See, that's where
it gets interesting.

He's a chameleon,
a man of many faces.

Uh, that is not good.

Usually means
there's a red flag
in the system.

Are you sure
about where you got
this fingerprint?

Have I ever
lied to you, Moore?

Not in the last 24 hours.

I think the last person
who spoke to Isaac
was Moshe Schachter.

Who's he?

He's a jeweler,
a friend of Isaac's.

Sometimes they go in
together on a stone,

shop it around,
and split the profits.

Well, let's go see him.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

(GASPING)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Mr. Schachter?

Mr. Schachter?

It's Liz Teller. Hello?

(GASPING)

Is he...

SHEPHERD: Yeah.

That's the guy
from Isaac's basement.

LIZ: Shepherd!

(GASPING)
Hebrew.

(MUMBLING)

What?

PARKS: So what were
you doin' here?

I think Schachter
was the last one
to see Isaac Teller.

I wanted to ask him
a few questions.

Did you know the guy
that got his throat
slashed from ear to ear?

No, you?

We're runnin' him.

Speaking of which,
you are running
out of lives, Shep.

Yeah, but who's counting?

PARKS: Man, you look
like a road map.

His rental car
contract comes back
Anthony Maylam of Brussels.

His prints, however,
come back as someone else.

Look, people,
sitting in this room,

we've got about half
the alphabet agencies.

So let me ask this
question a different way.

Who the heck is
this Anthony Maylam?

Let's take it outside.

Yeah?

I know a little bit
about this guy,
but not much.

You kept this from me?

I mean, what the hell?

We're partners on
a joint task force.

Partners? Partners my ass.

This is my show,
my task force.

You work for me, understand?

Who is he, Parks?

And what's he doing
in Spokane?

(SIGHING)

He's tracking
the breastplate.

For?

Interpol.

Interpol doesn't
work in the States.

That's what DC's
trying to figure out.

Well, is there anybody else
working under the radar?

Not that I'm aware of.

Something tells me
this isn't just
about the breastplate

or somebody who
likes to change his face

and kill people,
or am I wrong,
Agent Parks?

Be careful.

LIZ: The guy
at Moshe Schachter's,

he told you something
before he died.

Yeah, but it didn't
make sense.

What did he say?

Well, first he said, "Hebrew"
and then something like,
"Ocean mesh pot."

Ocean mesh pot?

The words are Hoshen mishpat
from the ancient Hebrew.

The literal
translation into English is
"Breastplate of Judgment."

Oh, from the Old Testament,
book of Exodus.

That's right.

I'm very impressed.
You know what? I got an idea.

If you hold on a second,
I have something

very interesting
for you to look at.

Just hold on a second.

Got just what
I was looking for.

Now, it was worn first
by the High Priest Aaron,

older brother of Moses.

So it came to be known
as Aaron's breastplate.

After the death of Aaron,
the breastplate
was passed down

through the tribe of priests,
the tribe of Levi.

Okay, here it is.

Now, if you can see,

each of the stones
in the breastplate

represented one of
the tribes of Israel.

The priest was to keep
their interest in his heart

when making decisions
on their behalf.

SPEERMAN:
What do you think,
Dr. Joseph?

Dr. Joseph?

What do you think?

Yeah. Yeah, it's...

First, the stones,

(STAMMERING)
they're typical of the time.
It's that...

The lapis lazuli, the topaz.

The turquoise is...

The Phoenician engravings,
Dr. Joseph.
Hmm?

The Phoenician engraving.

The Phoenician
engraving, yeah.

They're... They're
consistent with, uh,

the script in
the region at the time.

And the weave and color?

Definitely
pre-Mosaic Egyptian.

It's exactly as described
in Exodus, Chapter 28.

It's my, uh,
preliminary judgment

and it might be careless,

but, uh, Heschel,
this breastplate is authentic.

What are those two stones
in the high priest's
hands, Professor?

Uh, Urim and the Thummim.

Now I'm impressed.

And the words
translate into English
as light and perfection.

Now, the stones,
the Urim and Thummim,
were kept in the pouch

behind the breastplate.

Did they have a purpose?

On important matters,
the high priest
would remove the stones

and ask a question of God.

He would then roll
the stones like dice.

One stone symbolized
yes and the other no.

Now from the way
the stones came to rest

or the way
they cast their light,

the priest was able
to determine God's answers
to his questions.

So that's how
God spoke to them.

These were ancient peoples,
superstitious.

They believed they had
a covenant with God.

Now, if it proves to be
Aaron's breastplate,

it was stolen
from the excavation
at Sinai Desert, right?

Yeah.

Forgive me,
but I must ask...

How the breastplate came
into my possession,
Dr. Joseph,

will come out in due time.

But you will have
the honor of returning it

to the Israel Museum
in Jerusalem.

Oh, thank you so much.

This is...

This is unbelievable.

We can go now.

(SIGHING)
Morning, Jim.

(BEEPING)

PARKS: Alena,
you got a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Your, uh, friend Shepherd
is ruining our investigation.

Yeah, well,
he does that sometimes.

Yeah, well,
if he keeps doing that,

he's gonna find himself
in a world of hurt.

I'm pretty sure Shep
can take care of himself.

I'm not too concerned
with Shepherd.

I'm more concerned
with the people
that he gets close to.

There aren't that many.

But if he's such
a big problem for you,

why don't you just
pick up the phone
and call him?

How long you been
on the task force?

Nine months.
Where is this going?

You like it here?

You want to keep working here?
Maybe move up?

Or you want to go back
to sex crimes

and dope at
the end of your year?

You know, I, uh, I don't
like being threatened.

Hey, I'm not threatening you.

Just be smart, Alena.

Have a heart-to-heart
with your boy.

Or?

He's a shit magnet.
Fill in the blanks.

(TRAIN RUMBLING)

Yeah, there are problems
with both stones.

Are you
stalling again, cutter?

There's a fracture
in a non-cleavage
direction in the white,

and a cloud where
the star facet should be cut.

So what are you saying?

What I'm saying is
that the faceting machine
has a broken tooth gear.

Look, if you want
the stones cut,

you're going to
have to get me
a new head mechanism.

You better be
sure about this.

Okay, okay, Alena.

I'll see you at 7:00
in the morning.

(WATER RUNNING)

(GLASS BREAKING)

(SNIFFLING)
What happened?

It slipped.

Did you cut yourself?

It's Isaac.
I'm so worried.

We'll find him. I promise.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING)

Hey, how's it going?

Could be worse, Shep.

What's your excuse?

Fresh out of 'em.

Say, I want to thank you
for calling Eddie for me.

Hey, what are friends for?

Uh, just coffee.

ALENA: We are friends,
aren't we?

Look, Alena, you know
I've been through
two marriages already,

the last one
just two years ago.

Don't worry.
I didn't call you down here

to make you talk
about our past.

Then why did you
call me down here?

Parks is really
bent out of shape

about the way
you've been treating him.

Is that a fact?

That's a fact.

And if you don't back off,
he's gonna make
your life miserable.

Oh, really?

Did he say how
he's gonna make my life

more miserable
than it already is?

Don't take this lightly.

Do you know that
he used to be liaison

for Counterintelligence
at Interpol?

So?

(SIGHING)

As a favor to me, Shep,
would you back off?

As a favor to you, I will.

(SCREECHING)

Now I'll tell you
what I really
called you down here for.

I overheard Parks
talking to this guy,

and I heard the name
Colonel Speerman.

Now, they think
that this Isaac Teller,

maybe he's more than
just a kidnap victim.

Hmm.

Anything else?

I'm pretty sure I overheard
the word Holocaust.

Holocaust?

Yeah.

Holocaust.

SHEPHERD:
Rabbi, is there anyone
in your congregation

who survived
the concentration camps?

Several.

What are you
looking for?

Work details.

I think I know someone
who might be
able to help you.

I'll call her for you.
Her name is Mrs. Rosen.

Uh, one other thing.

Has there been any
strangers by here

in the last few days
asking you questions?

Yeah. As a matter of fact,

a young man came by
just yesterday
looking for his great uncle.

Did he mention his name?

He said
the uncle's name was Zalman.

Zalman, with a "Z."

I'd never heard that name,
so he thanked me and left.

RABBI: He said
the uncle's name was Zalman.

DIRK: (ECHOING)
Zalman, with a "Z."

Zalman, with a "Z."

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

(SIGHING)

Come on, let's go.

Where have you been?

Tracking down leads.

Where are we going?

Another lead.

SHEPHERD: Mrs. Rosen,
can you tell us about

the diamond cutters
at Auschwitz?

Yes, there were
several master cutters
while I was there.

They... They used
to cut diamonds

in the camp
for Adolf Hitler.

Did you know any
of the cutters?

Well, they were segregated
from the main population

and very heavily guarded.

Do you recognize this man?

LIZ: It's my uncle,
Isaac Teller.

That's Chaim Zalman.

No, no, no.
It's Isaac Teller.

No, my dear,
that's Chaim Zalman,
one of the cutters.

Oh.

He had
a beautiful wife, Rebecca,

two young boys
and a daughter.

The SS forced
the men to decide,

either cut diamonds

or die with their families
in the gas chamber.

The men cut diamonds.

The wives became
whores of the SS,

so that their
children could live.

And then, one day,

Rebecca and the children
were taken
to the center of the camp.

And with Chaim watching,

an SS soldier,
on orders from
Colonel Speerman,

murdered Chaim's family,

(CRYING)
there, in cold blood.

I never saw or heard
of Chaim Zalman again.

Please, excuse me.

Why didn't he
tell me about this?

Your uncle probably wanted
to start a new life
after Auschwitz.

I can't even imagine
what he went
through over there.

The Tolkowsky Modification.

What?

It's a unique cut
for large diamonds.

What would your uncle need
to cut these stones?

Very sophisticated
and expensive equipment.

Let's start
checking out the stores.

(TRAIN ENGINE CHUGGING)

Drop Heschel at the Davenport.

Tell him I'll meet him there.

Hello. May I help you?

I need a head mechanism
for a cutting machine.

A head mechanism?

Uh, let me check
and see if we have any.

Here you are. You're lucky.

It's the last one we have.

How much do I owe you?

It's expensive.
It's $3,400.

How did you want
to pay for that?

Cash.

All right,
we'll take care of that.

Don't you want a receipt?

(WHISTLES)

Where to, mister?

The Davenport Hotel.
Step on it.

You mean
the Davenport on Broadway?

Just drive.

(INAUDIBLE)

(WOMAN CHATTERING
ON PA SYSTEM)

You know,
I've had people in my cab
from all over the world.

I'm pretty good with accents.

I bet I can tell
where you're from.

Cat got your tongue?

Just drive.

PARKS:
This just came in from
Bureau headquarters.

This is Colonel Speerman.
Appointed by Hitler

to oversee
the cutting of diamonds
to help finance the war.

The collection was known
as the Reich Stones.

And the most spectacular
of all of them is this.

400-karat blue diamond
known as the Fuhrer's Stone,

cut in a design called
the Tolkowsky Modification.

Where are these stones now?

Well, uh, a few of them
hit the diamond markets
just after the war

but they were cut
into smaller stones.

And the others are held
by private collectors

who may or may not
know the histories.

So if Isaac Teller
was kidnapped

to cut two large diamonds,
then what?

Well, he's cutting
the diamonds for a man

who has no intention
of selling these
in the legit market.

It's either black market,
or he's keeping
them for himself.

Either way,
our man, whoever he is,

is freelancing for
that man right there.

Col. Speerman.

Speerman isn't walking around
with that face anymore, is he?

No way.

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

Hello.

WOMAN: Hello.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Has anyone come in recently
asking for these
particular tools?

As a matter of fact,
there was a young man
in here earlier

who purchased
a head mechanism,
and paid cash for it.

Is that what he would need?

Yes.

Did you see
which way he went?

He got into a Yellow Cab.
That's all I saw.

Okay, thank you.
Mmm-hmm.

Thanks.

Here, you drive.

I'm gonna call
the Yellow Cab Company

and find out who
picked this guy up.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

(TRAIN RUMBLING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

There he is. Wait here.

SHEPHERD:
Hiya, Calvin.

Hey. Do I know you?

You picked up a fare
in front of the Spokane
Jewelry supply store,

maybe two hours ago?

Yeah, I remember that guy.

I was just trying to be nice,
and he was looking at me

with some crazy eyes,
like I owed him
money or somethin'.

Except, he didn't
care about the money.

Where did you take him?

Now you know
professional courtesy
will not allow me

to divulge that information.

Well,
I tell you what, Calvin.

Why don't I take you down
to police headquarters

and you can
divulge it there.

How about that?

You serious?

Calvin, I'm as serious
as a heart attack.

I took him to
the Davenport Hotel.

Hmm.

Davenport Hotel.
Great, thanks a lot.

Mmm-hmm.

LIZ: Do you know
what the chances are

of seeing this guy
coming or going?

We've been
sitting here for hours.

(SIGHING)

And he may not be even
staying in the Davenport

even if that's where
the cabbie dropped him.

Patience, Liz.

LIZ: Hey, that's
the guy from...

Yeah, our repairman.

You're getting good at this.

And who's the old man?

My guess is
someone from
your uncle's past.

Let's go.

(DIALING TELEPHONE)

(PHONE RINGING)

SHEPHERD: Moore,
it's Shep.

We're following the suspect
east on Riverside
in a silver Town Car.

We're being followed.
Stop here.

DIRK: Go to the warehouse.

If they follow you,
you know what to do.

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

Go back to Eddie's
and wait for me.

I'll follow the Town Car.

I said go back to Eddie's.

Okay, okay.

(CELL PHONE DIALING)

SHEPHERD (ON

Hi, this is John Shepherd.

I'm not in.
Just leave a message.

(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS)
Shep, I'm not
at the apartment.

I tailed the Town Car...

Keep the change.

Where's Isaac Teller?

Or do I have to
beat it out of you?

(LAUGHING)

Oh, that's what
I like about you.

That you're
worried about Isaac

when you should be
worried about yourself.

Should I take
that as a threat?

No. Your last will
and testament.

Isolate and

Enhance the voice.

Get some air guard choppers
and all available units
into this area.

Have them work the alleys
for a silver Town Car

and Shepherd's pickup truck.

Okay, what about
Liz's cell phone?

If it's still working,
we can do a GPS
trace on it, right?

Yes, we can.
Get me the Air Guard.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

(SPEAKING IN GERMAN)

You don't
recognize me, cutter?

Speerman?

We both made it out.

You changed your name,
I changed mine.

But we're still
fellow refugees

who survived the Holocaust.

Amazing what some men will do
to save themselves.

Well, well, well.

Finally one happy family.

We now have
the bargaining chip.

Do you want him
to cut the stones?

Don't do it, Isaac.

They're going
to kill us anyway.

What do you think,
old friend?

Never again.

I sure will, Isaac.
Along with the breastplate.

How about a trip

You've got to be kidding.

Nope, I'm not kidding.
