1
00:00:02,697 --> 00:00:04,844
Previously on Elementary...
2
00:00:04,845 --> 00:00:06,144
Hi, I'm Andrew Mittal.
3
00:00:06,144 --> 00:00:07,675
What, you found
your next business?
4
00:00:07,699 --> 00:00:09,012
I think so.
5
00:00:09,013 --> 00:00:10,980
So I called the airline, and
I can't stay the whole time,
6
00:00:10,983 --> 00:00:13,717
but I've always wanted
to see Copenhagen.
7
00:00:15,086 --> 00:00:16,519
You say that I saved you,
8
00:00:16,521 --> 00:00:19,556
but the way that I see it,
9
00:00:19,558 --> 00:00:21,191
you gave me everything.
10
00:00:21,193 --> 00:00:23,159
Have you decided
where you're going to go?
11
00:00:23,161 --> 00:00:26,263
Your romantic inclinations are
not a flaw to be corrected,
12
00:00:26,265 --> 00:00:27,697
they're a trait to be accepted.
13
00:00:27,699 --> 00:00:29,466
I know you, Watson.
14
00:00:29,468 --> 00:00:31,468
I know you'll never be happy
within the confines
15
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:33,336
of a "traditional relationship".
16
00:00:33,338 --> 00:00:34,738
I'm happy with Andrew.
17
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:36,873
But would you be happier
without him?
18
00:00:39,877 --> 00:00:43,280
Elizabeth Short--
she disappeared January the 9th.
19
00:00:43,282 --> 00:00:46,349
Her body was found,
bisected and exsanguinated,
20
00:00:46,351 --> 00:00:48,218
on January the 14th.
21
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:49,386
Exsanguinated?
22
00:00:49,388 --> 00:00:50,820
Drained of blood.
23
00:00:50,822 --> 00:00:52,122
Oh.
24
00:00:52,124 --> 00:00:54,090
Elizabeth Short.
25
00:00:54,092 --> 00:00:55,425
I know the name.
26
00:00:55,427 --> 00:00:57,460
The press dubbed her
"The Black Dahlia"
27
00:00:57,462 --> 00:00:59,095
shortly after
her murder.
28
00:00:59,097 --> 00:01:01,531
Yeah, I maintain,
um, several files
29
00:01:01,533 --> 00:01:03,533
of unsolved cases
to keep me stimulated
30
00:01:03,535 --> 00:01:04,935
when interesting work
fails to come in.
31
00:01:04,937 --> 00:01:06,736
And this is one
of them.
32
00:01:06,738 --> 00:01:10,807
How are you supposed to solve
a murder from the 1930s?
33
00:01:10,809 --> 00:01:12,142
1947.
34
00:01:12,144 --> 00:01:13,410
It's not impossible.
35
00:01:13,412 --> 00:01:14,778
I did it with
the Whitechapel killings,
36
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:16,179
and they date back
to the 1800s.
37
00:01:16,181 --> 00:01:17,347
Whitechapel?
38
00:01:17,349 --> 00:01:19,416
You knew who Jack
the Ripper is?
39
00:01:19,418 --> 00:01:21,418
See, I-I've long
postulated a connection
40
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:23,420
between the death
of Ms. Short
41
00:01:23,422 --> 00:01:25,055
and the killing
of a young girl in Chicago
42
00:01:25,057 --> 00:01:27,057
named Suzanne Degnan
in the year prior.
43
00:01:27,059 --> 00:01:29,926
See, letters from both killers
use similar phrasing
44
00:01:29,928 --> 00:01:31,861
and similar combinations
of letters.
45
00:01:31,863 --> 00:01:32,829
Don't you think?
46
00:01:32,831 --> 00:01:34,264
Maybe.
47
00:01:34,266 --> 00:01:35,298
I don't know.
48
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:36,499
No, no, b-but look.
49
00:01:36,501 --> 00:01:37,467
Wh-What do you think?
50
00:01:37,469 --> 00:01:39,102
J-Just venture
an opinion.
51
00:01:40,204 --> 00:01:42,372
Well, wh-what about you?
52
00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:48,178
I don't know.
53
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:51,147
Can we do something
besides talk about murder?
54
00:02:13,537 --> 00:02:15,739
Are you lonely?
55
00:02:17,975 --> 00:02:20,176
That's not the point.
56
00:02:21,445 --> 00:02:23,947
Jack Anderson Wilson
is a viable suspect,
57
00:02:23,949 --> 00:02:26,149
but there's no evidence
he was ever in Chicago.
58
00:02:27,351 --> 00:02:30,153
Wilson sometimes used
the alias Arnold Smith.
59
00:02:30,155 --> 00:02:33,156
If I can demonstrate that
Arnold Smith went to Chicago,
60
00:02:33,158 --> 00:02:35,425
then we might have
something worth discussing.
61
00:02:36,927 --> 00:02:39,162
Not that you're much
of a conversationalist.
62
00:02:46,871 --> 00:02:48,238
State your business.
63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,106
Um...
64
00:02:50,108 --> 00:02:51,374
My name is, uh,
Jill Horowitz.
65
00:02:51,376 --> 00:02:52,642
Uh, an acquaintance
of mine says
66
00:02:52,644 --> 00:02:54,377
you're the best
P.I. in the city.
67
00:02:54,379 --> 00:02:56,513
Is this a bad time?
68
00:02:56,515 --> 00:02:58,715
On the contrary,
it's the perfect time.
69
00:03:00,951 --> 00:03:05,021
My husband Steven is an
attorney at Dorchester-Reid.
70
00:03:06,357 --> 00:03:08,024
You say those words
as if they're supposed
71
00:03:08,026 --> 00:03:09,492
to hold some
significance for me.
72
00:03:09,494 --> 00:03:12,595
It's one of the top
law firms in the city.
73
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:18,101
Steven has been, um,
distant lately.
74
00:03:18,103 --> 00:03:19,502
Works odd hours,
75
00:03:19,504 --> 00:03:21,871
makes ridiculous
excuses.
76
00:03:21,873 --> 00:03:24,474
For a lawyer,
he's a terrible liar.
77
00:03:24,476 --> 00:03:27,110
You suspect your husband
is having an affair.
78
00:03:27,112 --> 00:03:29,079
He has to be.
79
00:03:29,081 --> 00:03:33,116
They work long hours, but lately
it's been worse than usual.
80
00:03:33,118 --> 00:03:35,051
Steven has pulled plenty
of all-nighters,
81
00:03:35,053 --> 00:03:38,054
but I haven't seen him
in two days.
82
00:03:38,056 --> 00:03:41,157
You haven't seen or spoken
to your husband in 48 hours?
83
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,727
He's missing.
Please.
84
00:03:44,729 --> 00:03:47,797
You have to lead an interesting
life to be missing.
85
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:49,766
All Steven does is work.
86
00:03:49,768 --> 00:03:50,900
He left me.
87
00:03:50,902 --> 00:03:53,636
I want you to do
the P.I. thing.
88
00:03:53,638 --> 00:03:55,705
Find where he is, who he's with.
89
00:03:55,707 --> 00:03:57,774
Get me some pictures
that I can use in court.
90
00:03:57,776 --> 00:03:59,275
You keep using the phrase "P.I."
91
00:03:59,277 --> 00:04:00,677
That's not what I do.
92
00:04:00,679 --> 00:04:03,113
The marital squabbles
of two petit bourgeois
93
00:04:03,115 --> 00:04:04,914
Manhattanites interest me
not a whit.
94
00:04:06,117 --> 00:04:07,684
Fine.
95
00:04:07,686 --> 00:04:09,686
Normally, that is,
they'd interest me not a whit.
96
00:04:09,688 --> 00:04:11,187
But you've caught me
at something
97
00:04:11,189 --> 00:04:12,422
of a vulnerable moment.
98
00:04:13,791 --> 00:04:16,259
I could use a distraction.
99
00:04:21,799 --> 00:04:24,734
That's a pretty
good likeness.
100
00:04:24,736 --> 00:04:28,171
Imagine sitting for an oil
portrait in this day and age.
101
00:04:28,173 --> 00:04:31,007
The hubris practically
leaks off the canvas.
102
00:04:33,978 --> 00:04:36,312
You had sex this morning.
103
00:04:36,314 --> 00:04:37,981
Excuse me?
104
00:04:37,983 --> 00:04:40,617
Your stride indicates
a recent release of tension.
105
00:04:40,619 --> 00:04:42,952
Is Andrew in town?
106
00:04:42,954 --> 00:04:45,388
Or have you taken
another lover?
107
00:04:45,390 --> 00:04:46,523
He got in yesterday.
108
00:04:46,525 --> 00:04:48,057
He's back in town for good.
109
00:04:48,059 --> 00:04:49,592
The model factory's up
and running in Copenhagen,
110
00:04:49,594 --> 00:04:51,060
so now he can work
from the States.
111
00:04:51,062 --> 00:04:53,530
And you can be
a full-time couple.
112
00:04:53,532 --> 00:04:54,664
You must be thrilled.
113
00:04:54,666 --> 00:04:56,666
Absolutely.
114
00:04:56,668 --> 00:04:58,201
Sure.
115
00:04:59,837 --> 00:05:01,838
So why are we looking
into a cheating husband?
116
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,039
Are you that
desperate for work?
117
00:05:03,041 --> 00:05:06,042
I used to relish
my solitude.
118
00:05:06,044 --> 00:05:08,478
But the truth is,
I've grown accustomed
119
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,480
to having a companion
at the brownstone.
120
00:05:10,482 --> 00:05:12,382
The place feels a little bit
empty these days.
121
00:05:12,384 --> 00:05:14,150
No word from Kitty?
122
00:05:15,486 --> 00:05:17,954
You know you can always
call me if you want to talk.
123
00:05:17,956 --> 00:05:19,989
You want
your independence.
124
00:05:19,991 --> 00:05:21,658
I will not intrude.
125
00:05:23,694 --> 00:05:27,697
Anyway, this work might
turn out to be interesting.
126
00:05:27,699 --> 00:05:29,699
Before you got here,
I told the receptionist
127
00:05:29,701 --> 00:05:31,334
I was here
to see Steven Horowitz.
128
00:05:31,336 --> 00:05:33,403
She said there's no one
of that name working here.
129
00:05:33,405 --> 00:05:35,405
His wife said
Dorchester-Reid, right?
130
00:05:35,407 --> 00:05:37,106
Mm-hmm.
131
00:05:37,108 --> 00:05:39,075
You're the ones
looking for Steven?
132
00:05:39,077 --> 00:05:40,810
Look, I don't know
what to tell you.
133
00:05:40,812 --> 00:05:43,246
Steven was an associate here
until about six months ago.
134
00:05:43,248 --> 00:05:44,681
They let him go.
135
00:05:44,683 --> 00:05:46,049
Do you know why?
136
00:05:46,051 --> 00:05:47,517
We have a bloodletting
from time to time.
137
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:49,285
Guess they didn't think
he was partner material.
138
00:05:49,287 --> 00:05:51,721
His wife is under the
impression he still works here.
139
00:05:51,723 --> 00:05:54,357
She gave us a phone number
which matches your exchanges.
140
00:05:54,359 --> 00:05:56,392
Like I said,
don't know what to tell you.
141
00:05:56,394 --> 00:05:57,394
But I got to go.
142
00:05:57,395 --> 00:05:58,561
This isn't billable.
143
00:06:04,002 --> 00:06:05,401
What are you doing?
144
00:06:05,403 --> 00:06:08,037
I'm calling the number
Steven's wife gave us.
145
00:06:10,842 --> 00:06:12,575
Steven Horowitz's office.
146
00:06:12,577 --> 00:06:14,677
Yes, hello, is that
the same Steven Horowitz
147
00:06:14,679 --> 00:06:16,546
who works as an attorney
at Dorchester-Reid?
148
00:06:16,548 --> 00:06:18,381
That's right.
149
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:22,885
You're thinking whoever answered
the phone is somewhere in there.
150
00:06:22,887 --> 00:06:24,420
Mm-hmm.
151
00:06:24,422 --> 00:06:25,822
Excuse me.
152
00:06:25,824 --> 00:06:27,557
I'll only be
a moment, I'm just...
153
00:06:35,332 --> 00:06:37,066
Steven Horowitz's office.
154
00:06:37,068 --> 00:06:38,434
Hello, is he in?
155
00:06:38,436 --> 00:06:40,336
Not at the moment--
can I take a message?
156
00:06:40,338 --> 00:06:42,005
I'd really like
to speak with him.
157
00:06:42,007 --> 00:06:44,007
We're supposed to be playing
racquetball at the moment.
158
00:06:44,009 --> 00:06:46,709
Racquetball?
Steven doesn't play racquetball.
159
00:06:46,711 --> 00:06:48,945
Are you telling me I'm not
standing on a racquetball court
160
00:06:48,947 --> 00:06:50,313
as we speak?
161
00:06:50,315 --> 00:06:52,582
I don't know where
you are, sir.
162
00:06:52,584 --> 00:06:53,950
Well, that's a shame.
163
00:06:53,952 --> 00:06:55,618
If you had a bit more
spatial awareness,
164
00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:57,887
you'd realize I was standing
right behind you.
165
00:07:00,057 --> 00:07:02,025
Would you mind telling us
why you're pretending
166
00:07:02,027 --> 00:07:03,393

167

So he wants people to think
he's still working here.
179
00:08:10,397 --> 00:08:11,397
I guess.
180
00:08:11,398 --> 00:08:13,198
It's mostly his wife who calls.
181
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,801
Just forward it
to his cell most of the time.
182
00:08:15,803 --> 00:08:17,903
That's kind of a big lie--
she never caught on?
183
00:08:17,905 --> 00:08:20,906
Steven and Jill are not
the most connected couple.
184
00:08:20,908 --> 00:08:23,308
She does a lot of charity work,
he works long hours.
185
00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:25,110
I guess she would have
found out eventually,
186
00:08:25,112 --> 00:08:26,878
but I'm not surprised
he fooled her.
187
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,348
Is there any reason
why he didn't just tell her?
188
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:30,882
He never said.
189
00:08:30,884 --> 00:08:33,518
But the name "Dorchester-Reid"
opens a lot of doors.
190
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Steven and Jill live
in a co-op building,
191
00:08:35,522 --> 00:08:37,389
they belong
to the Braebury Club.
192
00:08:37,391 --> 00:08:40,158
I guess he just wanted
to keep up appearances.
193
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,228
Well, that's all fine and
dandy until the bill comes due.
194
00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:45,263
I handled Steven's mail
for two years.
195
00:08:45,265 --> 00:08:48,200
He didn't have much savings,
196
00:08:48,202 --> 00:08:51,069
but there was money
coming in from somewhere.
197
00:08:51,071 --> 00:08:53,238
You think he was involved
in something illegal?
198
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,740
I don't know.
199
00:08:54,742 --> 00:08:57,175
But his wife wasn't
the only one who called.
200
00:08:57,177 --> 00:09:00,145
Some of the other people
sounded a little...
201
00:09:00,147 --> 00:09:01,913
I don't know, shady?
202
00:09:01,915 --> 00:09:04,116
Most of them wouldn't
even leave their names.
203
00:09:04,118 --> 00:09:07,085
When he offered me money
to answer the phones,
204
00:09:07,087 --> 00:09:08,787
I assumed I'd get
a check every week.
205
00:09:08,789 --> 00:09:10,389
Instead, he sent cash.
206
00:09:10,391 --> 00:09:12,591
It was like he didn't want
there to be a paper trail.
207
00:09:12,593 --> 00:09:13,959
Did you get paid recently?
208
00:09:13,961 --> 00:09:16,361
Yeah, I got an envelope
a couple days ago.
209
00:09:16,363 --> 00:09:18,597
I was gonna bring it
to the bank at lunch.
210
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:21,767
Can I...?
211
00:09:26,172 --> 00:09:28,673
Thanks.
212
00:09:28,675 --> 00:09:31,309
No return address.
213
00:09:31,311 --> 00:09:34,146
Postmarked 11101.
214
00:09:34,148 --> 00:09:36,314
It's Long Island City.
It's not near his home.
215
00:09:36,316 --> 00:09:38,350
Perhaps it's near
his new business.
216
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,059
This stain is horchata.
217
00:09:48,061 --> 00:09:50,495
Specifically,
Salvadoran horchata.
218
00:09:50,497 --> 00:09:52,063
The morro seeds
give it away.
219
00:09:52,065 --> 00:09:53,932
So his office might
be near a place
220
00:09:53,934 --> 00:09:56,201
that serves Salvadoran food
in Long Island City.
221
00:09:56,203 --> 00:09:58,670
Mmm. Thank you.
You've been most helpful.
222
00:09:58,672 --> 00:10:02,908
You're free to resume your life
of tedium and petty deception.
223
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,713
I give you Long Island City's
foremost purveyors
224
00:10:08,715 --> 00:10:11,650
of tamales, pupusas,
and, of course, horchata.
225
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:13,618
According to the online reviews,
226
00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:15,821
the cuisine is thoroughly
authentic, although the ambience
227
00:10:15,823 --> 00:10:18,757
can be ruined by the appearance
of an occasional rat.
228
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:21,526
That explains the notice
from the health department.
229
00:10:22,328 --> 00:10:22,761
So, what are we
looking for here?
230
00:10:22,763 --> 00:10:24,930
Signs of Steven?
231
00:10:28,501 --> 00:10:31,870
Hey, have you ever thought
about getting a roommate?
232
00:10:31,872 --> 00:10:33,905
At times, you seem
to understand me quite well,
233
00:10:33,907 --> 00:10:35,841
and then you'll do something
like ask if I've considered
234
00:10:35,843 --> 00:10:37,375
taking on a flatmate.
235
00:10:37,377 --> 00:10:39,044
Why is that such
a weird question?
236
00:10:39,046 --> 00:10:41,480
You like being around people.
237
00:10:41,482 --> 00:10:44,015
You are not people, Watson.
Neither was Kitty.
238
00:10:44,017 --> 00:10:45,250
People, in case
you haven't noticed,
239
00:10:45,252 --> 00:10:47,152
are a crassulent,
beef-witted lot.
240
00:10:47,154 --> 00:10:49,621
Okay, no idea what
crassulent means,
241
00:10:49,623 --> 00:10:51,823
but I'm not saying
take an ad online.
242
00:10:51,825 --> 00:10:53,758
I mean, you've got a lot of
interesting acquaintances.
243
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,595
I'm sure one of them wouldn't
mind getting a cheap room
244
00:10:56,597 --> 00:10:57,963
in a huge brownstone.
245
00:10:57,965 --> 00:10:59,831
And who do you have in mind?
246
00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:03,535
Well, it probably shouldn't be
someone from the program.
247
00:11:03,537 --> 00:11:05,437
Hey, what about Ms. Hudson?
She's smart.
248
00:11:05,439 --> 00:11:08,373
I know far too much about
that woman's love life as it is.
249
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:11,076
Hmm, Mason's too young.
250
00:11:11,078 --> 00:11:12,878
What about the Nose?
251
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,279
He seems tidy.
252
00:11:14,281 --> 00:11:15,914
The Nose owns half
of Washington Heights.
253
00:11:15,916 --> 00:11:18,617
I hardly think he has use
for my spare bedroom.
254
00:11:18,619 --> 00:11:20,318
Well, there has
to be somebody.
255
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,087
Oh, thank goodness.
For what?
256
00:11:22,089 --> 00:11:24,256
I found a way
out of this conversation.
257
00:11:24,258 --> 00:11:25,757
The file I gave you
on Horowitz,
258
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:27,425
you read the piece
about his car?
259
00:11:27,427 --> 00:11:30,128
Yeah, black Lexus, license plate
begins with a "P," I think.
260
00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:31,630
PCT
261
00:11:31,632 --> 00:11:33,565
2093.
262
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:35,100
This is his car.
263
00:11:35,102 --> 00:11:37,669
Oh.
264
00:11:41,807 --> 00:11:44,509
Street cleaning violation.
265
00:11:44,511 --> 00:11:45,844
Wednesday afternoon.
266
00:11:45,846 --> 00:11:48,079
This car has been here
for a few days.
267
00:11:49,582 --> 00:11:51,616
SMH Incorporated.
268
00:11:51,618 --> 00:11:53,785
Steven Matthew Horowitz.
269
00:12:11,037 --> 00:12:14,072
Looks like this place
shut down in a hurry.
270
00:12:19,579 --> 00:12:22,247
Judging by the age of the mold
that has accrued in this cup,
271
00:12:22,249 --> 00:12:24,215
I'd say it was active
less than a week ago.
272
00:12:24,217 --> 00:12:27,852
So around the same time
that Steven disappeared.
273
00:12:29,055 --> 00:12:31,423
The two are in all
likelihood connected.
274
00:12:31,425 --> 00:12:33,658
The question is,
which came first?
275
00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:39,731
A lot of phones.
276
00:12:39,733 --> 00:12:42,767
Looks like they were
selling something.
277
00:12:49,108 --> 00:12:50,609
See the way the dust
has settled?
278
00:12:50,611 --> 00:12:53,211
There was a carpet runner here
279
00:12:53,213 --> 00:12:54,913
on the floor
until a few days ago.
280
00:12:54,915 --> 00:12:56,147
The fire extinguisher
is missing.
281
00:12:56,149 --> 00:12:58,950
No sign of a fire.
282
00:12:58,952 --> 00:13:01,853
I suspect it was used
for off-label purposes.
283
00:13:05,424 --> 00:13:07,325
Looks like blood.
284
00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:25,276
This is reason enough
to call Captain Gregson.
285
00:13:27,546 --> 00:13:29,748
That's a piece of brain matter.
286
00:13:31,584 --> 00:13:33,351
I just talked to the M.E.
287
00:13:33,353 --> 00:13:36,721
Preliminary DNA confirms that
the blood and brain matter
288
00:13:36,723 --> 00:13:38,223
both belong
to Steven Horowitz.
289
00:13:38,225 --> 00:13:40,325
Well, we got canine units
combing the area.
290
00:13:40,327 --> 00:13:41,526
No sign of a body.
291
00:13:41,528 --> 00:13:42,727
Be very surprised
if you find one.
292
00:13:42,729 --> 00:13:44,696
The killer most likely
wrapped it
293
00:13:44,698 --> 00:13:47,599
in the missing carpet runner
and then transported it by car.
294
00:13:47,601 --> 00:13:49,734
So he could've gone anywhere.
He?
295
00:13:49,736 --> 00:13:50,902
Well, Steven Horowitz
kept himself
296
00:13:50,904 --> 00:13:52,337
in reasonably good shape.
297
00:13:52,339 --> 00:13:53,838
I think it's very unlikely
that a woman
298
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,073
beat him to death
with a fire extinguisher.
299
00:13:55,075 --> 00:13:56,307
Though not impossible,
of course.
300
00:13:56,309 --> 00:13:57,742
Watson, I've got
every confidence
301
00:13:57,744 --> 00:13:59,344
that you could brain a man
with a metal tube
302
00:13:59,346 --> 00:14:00,512
if you put your
mind to it.
303
00:14:00,514 --> 00:14:01,613
That's very nice
of you to say.
304
00:14:01,615 --> 00:14:03,548
What about the wife?
305
00:14:03,550 --> 00:14:05,417
You said they didn't get along?
306
00:14:05,419 --> 00:14:07,686
You think she could've
hired someone to do this?
307
00:14:07,688 --> 00:14:09,254
Well, we can't rule it out.
308
00:14:09,256 --> 00:14:10,989
But I can't imagine why
she would commit murder
309
00:14:10,991 --> 00:14:12,290
and then hire me.
310
00:14:12,292 --> 00:14:14,025
Hmm.
311
00:14:14,027 --> 00:14:15,827
Where are we on SMH Inc.?
312
00:14:15,829 --> 00:14:17,128
Any idea what it is yet?
313
00:14:17,130 --> 00:14:19,397
It's been around since August.
314
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:21,633
Steven Horowitz was
the only officer on record,
315
00:14:21,635 --> 00:14:23,735
so we're pulling the W-2s
to look for employees.
316
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:25,103
I'll let you know
what we get.
317
00:14:25,105 --> 00:14:26,404
What about the phone records?
318
00:14:26,406 --> 00:14:28,039
The offices were clearly
319
00:14:28,041 --> 00:14:29,307
some sort of a calling center.
320
00:14:29,309 --> 00:14:30,742
We're running that down.
321
00:14:30,744 --> 00:14:32,077
Everyone's closed for the night,
322
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,379
but we should have
them first thing.
323
00:14:34,381 --> 00:14:36,181
Okay, I got to notify
the wife.
324
00:14:37,617 --> 00:14:39,617
Perhaps you and I should retire
to my home,
325
00:14:39,619 --> 00:14:41,553
develop further theories.
326
00:14:41,555 --> 00:14:42,787
What's to develop?
We'll get the records
327
00:14:42,789 --> 00:14:44,089
in the morning
and go from there.
328
00:14:45,491 --> 00:14:47,125
Oh, would you rather
not be alone?
329
00:14:47,127 --> 00:14:48,359
Don't talk twaddle.
330
00:14:48,361 --> 00:14:50,295
I just want to maintain focus.
331
00:14:50,297 --> 00:14:52,597
Well, I'd hang out, but I'm
making dinner with Andrew tonight.
332
00:14:52,599 --> 00:14:53,765
Well, I don't hang out, Watson.
333
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:55,366
Well, call me
334
00:14:55,368 --> 00:14:57,936
if you're going crazy,
and think about the roommate.
335
00:14:59,405 --> 00:15:01,072
I'm not moving in with you.
336
00:15:01,074 --> 00:15:02,674
I didn't ask you to.
337
00:15:02,676 --> 00:15:04,776
The Tribeca space
338
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:06,811
is obviously centrally located,
339
00:15:06,813 --> 00:15:09,214
but I don't know.
It's small.
340
00:15:09,216 --> 00:15:10,749
And it's Tribeca.
341
00:15:10,751 --> 00:15:12,817
People are very cool in Tribeca.
342
00:15:12,819 --> 00:15:14,185
You're cool.
Thanks.
343
00:15:14,187 --> 00:15:15,620
You know what I mean.
344
00:15:15,622 --> 00:15:17,889
If I go to Bushwick,
I get actual bay windows,
345
00:15:17,891 --> 00:15:20,658
an office with a
door that closes,
346
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:22,160
and room to grow.
347
00:15:22,162 --> 00:15:24,562
Well, sounds like you already
made up your mind.
348
00:15:25,765 --> 00:15:27,766
Go Bushwick.
349
00:15:29,502 --> 00:15:31,636
So, dinner is ready.
350
00:15:31,638 --> 00:15:33,905
Okay, don't judge me.
351
00:15:33,907 --> 00:15:35,840
Ah.
352
00:15:35,842 --> 00:15:38,443
Oh, uh, hey,
my dad called this afternoon.
353
00:15:38,445 --> 00:15:39,911
Uh, he's in town tomorrow
on business.
354
00:15:39,913 --> 00:15:43,148
He wants to take
us out for dinner.
355
00:15:43,150 --> 00:15:44,883
If you're free, that is.
356
00:15:44,885 --> 00:15:46,451
Uh, sure.
357
00:15:46,453 --> 00:15:48,353
I'd love to meet him.
358
00:15:48,355 --> 00:15:49,888
Don't worry.
359
00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:51,623
It's not meeting my dad.
360
00:15:51,625 --> 00:15:52,924
It's just dinner.
361
00:15:52,926 --> 00:15:55,059
Totally low-key.
362
00:15:55,061 --> 00:15:56,761
Can I tell him 7:30?
363
00:15:58,364 --> 00:15:59,931
Yeah.
364
00:16:03,769 --> 00:16:05,837
- Do you feel good about yourself?
- Hello!
365
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:07,372
Seriously,
at the end of the day,
366
00:16:07,374 --> 00:16:08,807
do you think,
"Wow, I really harassed
367
00:16:08,809 --> 00:16:10,208
a lot of people today?"
368
00:16:10,210 --> 00:16:11,876
'Cause I think
if I had your job,
369
00:16:11,878 --> 00:16:13,278
I'd probably just kill myself.
370
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Madam, I merely obtained
your phone number
371
00:16:15,282 --> 00:16:16,981
through SMH Incorporated.
372
00:16:16,983 --> 00:16:18,750
I am not affiliated with them.
373
00:16:18,752 --> 00:16:20,351
I'm warning you,
don't call here again.
374
00:16:20,353 --> 00:16:22,821
Friend of yours?
375
00:16:22,823 --> 00:16:25,056
That was Ms. Ruth Talbert
376
00:16:25,058 --> 00:16:26,925
from Taos, New Mexico.
377
00:16:26,927 --> 00:16:28,493
Detective Bell sent
the phone records
378
00:16:28,495 --> 00:16:30,061
from Steven's office
earlier this morning.
379
00:16:30,063 --> 00:16:31,763
I've been calling the numbers
in an effort
380
00:16:31,765 --> 00:16:33,998
to find out what
SMH Incorporated was up to
381
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,733
and perhaps turn up
a suspect or two.
382
00:16:35,735 --> 00:16:37,969
Sounds like you found one.
383
00:16:37,971 --> 00:16:41,105
As a matter of fact,
I found thousands of them.
384
00:16:42,341 --> 00:16:45,076
Everyone who received
a phone call
385
00:16:45,078 --> 00:16:48,847
from SMH Incorporated had motive
to kill Steven Horowitz.
386
00:16:57,312 --> 00:16:59,662
Steven Horowitz
was a debt merchant.
387
00:17:00,131 --> 00:17:01,632
A what now?
388
00:17:01,633 --> 00:17:04,934
Someone somewhere buys,
let's say, a Jet Ski on credit.
389
00:17:04,936 --> 00:17:06,169
Then she loses her job
390
00:17:06,171 --> 00:17:07,804
and she stops paying.
391
00:17:07,806 --> 00:17:09,205
Another person dislikes
the curvature of his buttocks,
392
00:17:09,207 --> 00:17:10,773
so he splurges on a set
of implants.
393
00:17:10,775 --> 00:17:12,875
Another soul eyes an Italian
supercar and thinks,
394
00:17:12,877 --> 00:17:14,343
"Why not me?"
395
00:17:14,345 --> 00:17:15,778
People buy things
they can't afford.
396
00:17:15,780 --> 00:17:16,946
I'm aware of the concept.
397
00:17:16,948 --> 00:17:18,815
Many, many people.
398
00:17:18,817 --> 00:17:21,017
Much of it is frivolous,
some of it is not.
399
00:17:21,019 --> 00:17:23,586
But every such purchase flows
into a massive ocean
400
00:17:23,588 --> 00:17:24,787
of consumer debt.
401
00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:26,522
In this country alone,
it adds up
402
00:17:26,524 --> 00:17:28,825
to $2.4 trillion,
403
00:17:28,827 --> 00:17:31,260
most of it owed
to credit card companies.
404
00:17:31,262 --> 00:17:33,463
Horowitz did not work
for a credit card company.
405
00:17:33,465 --> 00:17:37,100
True, but such corporations
have a policy of giving up
406
00:17:37,102 --> 00:17:39,969
on trying to collect unpaid debt
after 180 days.
407
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:42,672
Someone's decided it's just
not worth the effort.
408
00:17:42,674 --> 00:17:44,173
So they sell it on.
409
00:17:44,175 --> 00:17:46,109
They sell the debt?
410
00:17:46,111 --> 00:17:47,643
To who?
411
00:17:47,645 --> 00:17:49,946
Why would anyone buy
an unpaid bill?
412
00:17:49,948 --> 00:17:52,281
Because you can get it
at a steep discount.
413
00:17:52,283 --> 00:17:55,885
Let's say you purchase
$10,000 worth of debt
414
00:17:55,887 --> 00:17:57,520
for $1,000.
415
00:17:57,522 --> 00:17:59,589
You're then able to harass
or otherwise
416
00:17:59,591 --> 00:18:02,558
wring $5,000 out
of your unfortunate creditees.
417
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,826
You've then made...
418
00:18:03,828 --> 00:18:05,328
$4,000.
419
00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:06,829
As a way to make a living,
420
00:18:06,831 --> 00:18:08,397
it's more than a bit déclassé,
421
00:18:08,399 --> 00:18:10,466
which is why Steven
kept it hidden from his wife.
422
00:18:10,468 --> 00:18:11,968
But it can also be
very lucrative,
423
00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:13,736
which is why he was doing it
in the first place.
424
00:18:13,738 --> 00:18:15,505
Well, we're gonna need
a phone bank
425
00:18:15,507 --> 00:18:17,406
of our own just to sort
through all these people.
426
00:18:17,408 --> 00:18:19,542
Actually, we're going
to the precinct.
427
00:18:19,544 --> 00:18:22,645
I asked Detective Bell
to sort through the W-2s
428
00:18:22,647 --> 00:18:24,213
from Steven's company.
429
00:18:24,215 --> 00:18:27,250
He's bringing in an employee
named Eduardo Peña.
430
00:18:27,252 --> 00:18:30,186
Well, any one of those people
on the wall
431
00:18:30,188 --> 00:18:31,521
had motive to want Steven gone.
432
00:18:31,523 --> 00:18:32,955
And I wouldn't rule them out,
433
00:18:32,957 --> 00:18:34,490
but the debt collection industry
434
00:18:34,492 --> 00:18:37,293
is notorious for hiring convicts
and recent parolees.
435
00:18:37,295 --> 00:18:39,128
I think it's equally likely
that Steven ran afoul
436
00:18:39,130 --> 00:18:40,563
of one of his shadowy
new associates.
437
00:18:40,565 --> 00:18:43,332
Someone like Eduardo Peña.
438
00:18:43,334 --> 00:18:44,734
The man does have a history
of incarceration
439
00:18:44,736 --> 00:18:46,102
and violent assault.
440
00:18:52,409 --> 00:18:54,977
Copies of the W-2 forms
from SMH Incorporated.
441
00:18:54,979 --> 00:18:56,479
Bell hasn't arrived
with Mr. Peña yet,
442
00:18:56,481 --> 00:18:58,014
so I thought we could look
443
00:18:58,016 --> 00:18:59,582
through them while we wait
and see
444
00:18:59,584 --> 00:19:01,150
if there's anything untoward.
445
00:19:06,456 --> 00:19:08,090
Why did you lie?
446
00:19:08,092 --> 00:19:09,392
What?
447
00:19:09,394 --> 00:19:11,227
That's an Argentinian
steakhouse.
448
00:19:11,229 --> 00:19:12,895
It's an established fact that
you abhor chimichurri sauce.
449
00:19:12,897 --> 00:19:15,164
First of all,
don't read over my shoulder.
450
00:19:15,166 --> 00:19:16,966
And it wasn't a lie.
I'm being polite.
451
00:19:16,968 --> 00:19:18,434
We're having dinner
with Andrew's father tonight.
452
00:19:18,436 --> 00:19:19,869
He probably picked the place.
453
00:19:19,871 --> 00:19:21,304
I'm not gonna say
I won't go there.
454
00:19:21,306 --> 00:19:23,105
Meeting the parents.
455
00:19:23,107 --> 00:19:25,908
That's an important milestone in
your romantic passion play.
456
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:27,276
No, I'm not meeting his parents.
I'm having dinner
457
00:19:27,278 --> 00:19:28,578
with his father.
It's no big deal.
458
00:19:28,580 --> 00:19:30,046
Then why is it making
you so tense?
459
00:19:30,048 --> 00:19:31,480
I'm not tense about the meal.
I'm tense
460
00:19:31,482 --> 00:19:32,582
about you grilling me about it.
461
00:19:32,584 --> 00:19:34,750
No.
462
00:19:36,019 --> 00:19:37,486
Oh, Marcus is here.
463
00:19:37,488 --> 00:19:39,755
Thank God.
464
00:19:39,757 --> 00:19:42,158
Steven and I worked
our first debt package together
465
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,493
a few months ago.
466
00:19:44,495 --> 00:19:46,462
It was his first time.
467
00:19:46,464 --> 00:19:48,831
I kind of showed
him the ropes.
468
00:19:48,833 --> 00:19:50,733
And you were working
on another project together,
469
00:19:50,735 --> 00:19:52,068
weren't you?
470
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:53,569
Out in Long Island City?
471
00:19:53,571 --> 00:19:55,838
Steven got tipped
to a big package.
472
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,074
He called it the Mother Lode.
473
00:19:58,076 --> 00:19:59,842
Millions and millions' worth
of debt
474
00:19:59,844 --> 00:20:01,711
that he picked up on the cheap.
475
00:20:01,713 --> 00:20:04,080
How many millions?
I don't know.
476
00:20:04,082 --> 00:20:06,549
Steven never showed me
the whole list.
477
00:20:06,551 --> 00:20:09,285
He'd just give us names
to call every day.
478
00:20:09,287 --> 00:20:11,554
Why were your
offices shut down?
479
00:20:11,556 --> 00:20:13,556
I don't
really know.
480
00:20:13,558 --> 00:20:16,192
Sometimes if Steven
had his hooks into someone
481
00:20:16,194 --> 00:20:18,761
who owed big money
and they lived nearby,
482
00:20:18,763 --> 00:20:20,363
he'd drive out
to see him,
483
00:20:20,365 --> 00:20:21,964
try to collect
in person.
484
00:20:21,966 --> 00:20:24,967
He went out on one
of those errands last week,
485
00:20:24,969 --> 00:20:27,670
came back,
told us all to go home.
486
00:20:27,672 --> 00:20:29,005
What happened?
487
00:20:29,007 --> 00:20:31,540
- Who did he see?
- No idea.
488
00:20:31,542 --> 00:20:34,010
He just said we were done
collecting on the package--
489
00:20:34,012 --> 00:20:36,679
which was ridiculous, 'cause
we hadn't even called a third
490
00:20:36,681 --> 00:20:39,382
of the names yet.
How do you know that?
491
00:20:39,384 --> 00:20:41,884
Thought you never
saw the whole list.
492
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,554
Just a guess.
493
00:20:45,556 --> 00:20:46,923
He's lying.
494
00:20:46,925 --> 00:20:48,424
Badly.
495
00:20:48,426 --> 00:20:50,026
Who are you calling?
496
00:20:50,028 --> 00:20:52,828
The phone company.
I'm gonna pretend to be Mr. Peña.
497
00:20:52,830 --> 00:20:55,331
You must have been pretty upset,
498
00:20:55,333 --> 00:20:57,633
losing a job
out of nowhere like that.
499
00:20:57,635 --> 00:21:00,636
I was wondering when
you were gonna get to that.
500
00:21:00,638 --> 00:21:03,072
You think
I killed Steven, right?
501
00:21:03,074 --> 00:21:04,907
Makes sense.
502
00:21:04,909 --> 00:21:07,009
He fired me.
503
00:21:07,011 --> 00:21:09,011
I've got a rap sheet.
504
00:21:09,013 --> 00:21:11,180
He died, what,
a couple days ago?
505
00:21:11,182 --> 00:21:12,448
That's right.
506
00:21:12,450 --> 00:21:15,184
Steven let everybody go
last week.
507
00:21:15,186 --> 00:21:17,353
I left for Springfield, Ohio,
the next day.
508
00:21:17,355 --> 00:21:19,488
Got back
last night.
509
00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:22,391
What were you doing there?
Nephew's birthday party.
510
00:21:22,393 --> 00:21:24,961
I'll show you the travel
receipts if you want.
511
00:21:24,963 --> 00:21:26,963
He might not have killed Steven Horowitz,
512
00:21:26,965 --> 00:21:28,197
but he's lying about one thing.
513
00:21:28,199 --> 00:21:30,066
He has the complete
list of debts.
514
00:21:30,068 --> 00:21:31,267
He stole it.
515
00:21:31,269 --> 00:21:33,869
Who's that?
516
00:21:33,871 --> 00:21:36,372
Mr. Peña just installed 14 new
phone lines at his apartment.
517
00:21:36,374 --> 00:21:38,774
He's opening
a boiler room of his own.
518
00:21:38,776 --> 00:21:40,543
Is that true?
519
00:21:40,545 --> 00:21:42,044
If we look around your place,
520
00:21:42,046 --> 00:21:44,113
are we gonna find
Steven's list of debtors?
521
00:21:44,115 --> 00:21:47,116
If we do, that's criminal
possession of stolen property.
522
00:21:47,118 --> 00:21:49,585
That's a felony charge
and a parole violation.
523
00:21:49,587 --> 00:21:52,054
Now, of course,
if your alibi checks out,
524
00:21:52,056 --> 00:21:53,923
you give us the list
voluntarily...
525
00:21:53,925 --> 00:21:56,225
we might be able to work
something out with your P.O.
526
00:21:58,095 --> 00:22:00,096
Presenting
the Mother Lode.
527
00:22:00,098 --> 00:22:01,530
There looks,
first glance,
528
00:22:01,532 --> 00:22:04,367
to be around $20 million worth
of unpaid bills.
529
00:22:04,369 --> 00:22:06,068
So what are we
looking for in here?
530
00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:07,503
Any large amounts
531
00:22:07,505 --> 00:22:10,239
owed by residents of
Naugatuck, Connecticut.
532
00:22:10,241 --> 00:22:12,675
We have Steven's
EZ Pass records
533
00:22:12,677 --> 00:22:14,343
and cell phone
tower pings
534
00:22:14,345 --> 00:22:15,545
from a rural route
in Naugatuck
535
00:22:15,546 --> 00:22:16,846
shortly before
his disappearance.
536
00:22:16,848 --> 00:22:18,447
He had no normal
business there,
537
00:22:18,449 --> 00:22:19,949
so perhaps he was looking
for one of his debtors.
538
00:22:19,951 --> 00:22:21,317
So you want to find out
539
00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,352
what happened
in that face-to-face visit.
540
00:22:23,354 --> 00:22:24,754
Everything was proceeding
quite normally
541
00:22:24,756 --> 00:22:26,055
up to that point,
542
00:22:26,057 --> 00:22:27,757
so we need to learn
what scared Steven
543
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:30,226
into closing
his business.
544
00:22:30,228 --> 00:22:31,727
You really mustn't
feel badly
545
00:22:31,729 --> 00:22:33,095
about not wanting to
meet Andrew's parents.
546
00:22:33,097 --> 00:22:34,330
The man's always
been something of
547
00:22:34,332 --> 00:22:35,464
a placeholder
for you.
548
00:22:35,466 --> 00:22:37,166
"Placeholder"?
I never said that.
549
00:22:37,168 --> 00:22:39,068
You've also, in all
the time you've dated,
550
00:22:39,070 --> 00:22:40,336
never displayed even a
hint of the intoxication
551
00:22:40,338 --> 00:22:41,570
which accompanies
new love.
552
00:22:41,572 --> 00:22:44,073
The man is back
permanently,
553
00:22:44,075 --> 00:22:45,341
seeking a modest escalation
of the relationship,
554
00:22:45,343 --> 00:22:46,642
and you're forced
to confront
555
00:22:46,644 --> 00:22:47,943
your lack of passion
for the man.
556
00:22:47,945 --> 00:22:49,478
That's a line of
thinking which leads
557
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,846
inevitably
to a breakup.
558
00:22:50,848 --> 00:22:52,348
I don't want
to break up with Andrew.
559
00:22:52,350 --> 00:22:53,783
We're just sort of starting out.
560
00:22:53,785 --> 00:22:55,251
If you don't want
to break up with him,
561
00:22:55,253 --> 00:22:56,919
then why does the idea
of meeting his parents
562
00:22:56,921 --> 00:22:58,587
fill you with a
nameless dread?
563
00:22:58,589 --> 00:23:01,123
- I...
- Don't answer that right away.
564
00:23:01,125 --> 00:23:02,525
Actually, we'll have
plenty of time to think,
565
00:23:02,527 --> 00:23:04,260
'cause we're driving
to Connecticut.
566
00:23:04,262 --> 00:23:06,662
- You found someone.
- Owen Downey.
567
00:23:06,664 --> 00:23:08,964
According to this list,
he has accumulated
568
00:23:08,966 --> 00:23:12,168
several hundred thousand
dollars' worth of debt.
569
00:23:12,170 --> 00:23:15,304
Owen Downey has
a felony record,
570
00:23:15,306 --> 00:23:16,806
so if he doesn't
answer the door...
571
00:23:16,808 --> 00:23:18,974
We don't pick the lock.
Uh-uh.
572
00:23:21,646 --> 00:23:22,878
Hello.
573
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,113
Good afternoon.
574
00:23:24,115 --> 00:23:25,948
We're consultants
with the NYPD.
575
00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:27,283
We'd like to see
Owen Downey.
576
00:23:27,285 --> 00:23:28,684
Oh, I'm sorry.
577
00:23:28,686 --> 00:23:30,352
Owen's having his treatment
right now.
578
00:23:30,354 --> 00:23:31,620
We just have a few
579
00:23:31,622 --> 00:23:32,888
questions for him.
580
00:23:32,890 --> 00:23:34,323
It's kind of been
a long drive.
581
00:23:34,325 --> 00:23:35,558
Well, if you're willing to wait,
582
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,126
you can talk to him in a minute,
583
00:23:37,128 --> 00:23:40,196
but right now
Owen isn't saying anything.
584
00:23:45,068 --> 00:23:47,736
I don't think that man's
bludgeoned anyone recently.
585
00:23:47,738 --> 00:23:49,205
What's his diagnosis?
586
00:23:49,207 --> 00:23:50,639
Emphysema.
587
00:23:50,641 --> 00:23:53,142
Owen thinks he picked it
up working construction,
588
00:23:53,144 --> 00:23:55,744
but he never got any
money out of the company.
589
00:23:55,746 --> 00:23:57,213
I'm Owen's aunt.
590
00:23:57,215 --> 00:23:59,849
I work at a
hospital in town.
591
00:23:59,851 --> 00:24:01,484
I come by whenever I can,
592
00:24:01,486 --> 00:24:03,452
get him whatever medicine
I can get my hands on.
593
00:24:03,454 --> 00:24:05,321
During your visits,
have you ever seen this man?
594
00:24:05,323 --> 00:24:06,555
Sure.
595
00:24:06,557 --> 00:24:08,190
Steven.
596
00:24:08,192 --> 00:24:10,192
He's been out here a few times.
597
00:24:10,194 --> 00:24:11,694
Is he okay?
598
00:24:11,696 --> 00:24:12,862
I'm afraid not.
599
00:24:12,864 --> 00:24:14,363
He was murdered.
600
00:24:14,365 --> 00:24:16,665
Oh, my goodness.
601
00:24:16,667 --> 00:24:18,701
I'm so sorry
to hear that.
602
00:24:18,703 --> 00:24:21,170
I know Steven was struggling
to find his way,
603
00:24:21,172 --> 00:24:22,938
but he was a good man.
604
00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:26,041
A good man? He was trying to
collect money from your nephew.
605
00:24:26,043 --> 00:24:27,409
At first.
606
00:24:27,411 --> 00:24:30,112
Then he talked to Owen
for a while.
607
00:24:30,114 --> 00:24:33,315
The second time I saw him here,
he brought groceries.
608
00:24:33,317 --> 00:24:35,184
Then last week,
he told Owen
609
00:24:35,186 --> 00:24:37,219
he didn't owe him
anything anymore.
610
00:24:37,221 --> 00:24:38,387
Really?
611
00:24:38,389 --> 00:24:40,055
It was like a miracle.
612
00:24:40,057 --> 00:24:42,224
Steven said he couldn't live
with what he was doing,
613
00:24:42,226 --> 00:24:43,926
he couldn't bleed money
out of people
614
00:24:43,928 --> 00:24:45,761
who were down
on their luck anymore.
615
00:24:45,763 --> 00:24:48,063
He was forgiving
Owen's debt.
616
00:24:48,065 --> 00:24:50,332
Maybe that's why
he closed the business.
617
00:24:50,334 --> 00:24:52,134
He wasn't just
absolving Owen's debt,
618
00:24:52,136 --> 00:24:54,737
he was doing it
for everyone in that file.
619
00:24:54,739 --> 00:24:56,539
Excuse me.
620
00:24:57,641 --> 00:24:59,742
Steven Horowitz may
not have been killed
621
00:24:59,744 --> 00:25:01,510
because he was a debt collector,
622
00:25:01,512 --> 00:25:04,513
he may have been killed
because he was a debt forgiver.
623
00:25:14,861 --> 00:25:17,805
So Steven Horowitz was what,
some kind of Robin Hood?
624
00:25:17,806 --> 00:25:19,806
Mm, the analogy is not perfect,
625
00:25:19,808 --> 00:25:21,775
but in a manner
of speaking, yes.
626
00:25:21,777 --> 00:25:24,477
He didn't set out to forgive
a massive parcel of debt.
627
00:25:24,479 --> 00:25:27,013
He had every intention of
collecting on the Mother Lode
628
00:25:27,015 --> 00:25:29,516
but somewhere along the way
had an epiphany.
629
00:25:29,518 --> 00:25:32,052
So it's kind of like the Grinch
giving back Christmas.
630
00:25:32,054 --> 00:25:33,753
Well, good on Steven.
What has this
631
00:25:33,755 --> 00:25:35,488
got to do with
his murder?
632
00:25:35,490 --> 00:25:36,923
An entirely pertinent question.
633
00:25:36,925 --> 00:25:38,858
Before he could process
the paperwork
634
00:25:38,860 --> 00:25:40,260
which would
actually have registered
635
00:25:40,262 --> 00:25:42,329
the debt as settled,
Steven was murdered.
636
00:25:42,331 --> 00:25:44,731
You think someone wanted
to stop him from doing that?
637
00:25:44,733 --> 00:25:47,133
I think Steven had very little
in the way of savings.
638
00:25:47,135 --> 00:25:49,002
Someone would
have alerted him
639
00:25:49,004 --> 00:25:50,804
to the existence
of the Mother Lode.
640
00:25:50,806 --> 00:25:52,906
It was a package which,
if worked properly,
641
00:25:52,908 --> 00:25:54,507
could set him up for life.
642
00:25:54,509 --> 00:25:56,943
But it would cost
millions of dollars to purchase.
643
00:25:56,945 --> 00:25:59,212
- So he had investors?
- And who purchases shares
644
00:25:59,214 --> 00:26:02,148
in large packets of unpaid debt?
645
00:26:02,150 --> 00:26:03,984
A rogues' gallery.
646
00:26:03,986 --> 00:26:05,518
Those who spend
their lives
647
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,887
in the twilight between
the legal and the criminal.
648
00:26:08,038 --> 00:26:09,471
I give you...
649
00:26:09,473 --> 00:26:13,108
the principal investors
in SMH Incorporated.
650
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:15,110
Is that Sam Gianini?
651
00:26:15,112 --> 00:26:17,679
The reputed head of what is left
of the city's crime family
652
00:26:17,681 --> 00:26:19,047
invested through
a shell corporation
653
00:26:19,049 --> 00:26:20,149
named after his niece.
654
00:26:20,151 --> 00:26:22,184
Grace Yee,
655
00:26:22,186 --> 00:26:23,552
doyenne of Brooklyn's
offtrack betting economy;
656
00:26:23,554 --> 00:26:25,954
Walker Tolan,
curator of sex clubs
657
00:26:25,956 --> 00:26:27,489
which connect money
to Wall Street
658
00:26:27,491 --> 00:26:28,924
with pliable
young men and women...
659
00:26:28,926 --> 00:26:30,926
I would go on,
but you get the picture--
660
00:26:30,928 --> 00:26:33,562
there's no one here
you would invite to high tea.
661
00:26:33,564 --> 00:26:35,964
No one you'd want to stiff
on their seed money, either.
662
00:26:35,966 --> 00:26:37,900
Precisely.
Steven Horowitz's
663
00:26:37,902 --> 00:26:40,302
spiritual awakening
had the unhappy side effect
664
00:26:40,304 --> 00:26:43,238
of enraging a cross-section
of blackguards and highwaymen.
665
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,708
It's our job to figure out
which one of them killed him.
666
00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:49,711
Well, with that group, would've
been a race to the finish line.
667
00:26:51,247 --> 00:26:52,614
So, obviously I did not become
668
00:26:52,616 --> 00:26:54,283
a sober companion
to be a detective.
669
00:26:54,285 --> 00:26:56,351
I didn't even know
I wanted to be a detective
670
00:26:56,353 --> 00:26:58,187
until I actually
started doing it. I mean,
671
00:26:58,189 --> 00:27:00,756
I resisted it for a long time,
but I'm really glad
672
00:27:00,758 --> 00:27:02,191
I made the switch.
673
00:27:02,193 --> 00:27:04,159
So...
674
00:27:04,161 --> 00:27:05,360
surgeon...
675
00:27:05,362 --> 00:27:06,862
sober companion...
676
00:27:06,864 --> 00:27:07,890
detective.
677
00:27:07,914 --> 00:27:08,932
I-I know it sounds
meandering when
678
00:27:08,933 --> 00:27:12,701
I describe it, but I promise you it all
felt very organic while
679
00:27:12,703 --> 00:27:15,037
- it was actually happening.
- That's a rather perfect description
680
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:16,672
of most people's lives.
681
00:27:16,674 --> 00:27:19,208
I find your story inspiring,
actually.
682
00:27:19,210 --> 00:27:23,212
Wow. I think my mother would
say "flighty," but... thanks.
683
00:27:23,214 --> 00:27:24,613
Well, of course she would.
684
00:27:24,615 --> 00:27:26,281
We worry about our children.
685
00:27:26,283 --> 00:27:28,917
That never goes away.
But to me,
686
00:27:28,919 --> 00:27:31,086
it sounds like
you found your passion.
687
00:27:31,088 --> 00:27:34,590
You were open to it when
it presented itself; you didn't settle.
688
00:27:34,592 --> 00:27:38,060
It's exactly the sense of
adventure Andrew's mother and I
689
00:27:38,062 --> 00:27:39,828
tried to foster
in our own children.
690
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:42,898
You guys enrolled me
in a programming class in third grade.
691
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:44,867
And look
at you now.
692
00:27:44,869 --> 00:27:48,470
I'm sorry it's taken so long
for us to get together.
693
00:27:48,472 --> 00:27:50,239
You're remarkable.
694
00:27:50,241 --> 00:27:51,807
♪ ♪
695
00:28:00,651 --> 00:28:02,150
Watson, what are
you doing here?
696
00:28:02,152 --> 00:28:04,253
Well, I just came here
to punch you.
697
00:28:06,390 --> 00:28:08,290
What was that for?
698
00:28:08,292 --> 00:28:09,625
I hate it when you're right.
699
00:28:09,627 --> 00:28:11,293
Is this about your dinner?
700
00:28:11,295 --> 00:28:13,529
It was totally
a Meet the Parents thing.
701
00:28:13,531 --> 00:28:16,231
There really is no version
of meeting someone's parents
702
00:28:16,233 --> 00:28:18,367
that doesn't involve
actually meeting their parents.
703
00:28:18,369 --> 00:28:19,902
You know what I mean.
And Andrew's father
704
00:28:19,904 --> 00:28:21,603
was so... amazing--
he was warm and welcoming.
705
00:28:21,605 --> 00:28:23,705
He was obviously so thrilled
that I was dating his son.
706
00:28:23,707 --> 00:28:26,239
I mean, it went about as well
as you could possibly imagine.
707
00:28:26,263 --> 00:28:27,344
And yet...
708
00:28:27,344 --> 00:28:29,978
I didn't want any of it.
709
00:28:29,980 --> 00:28:31,980
I just didn't
feel comfortable.
710
00:28:31,982 --> 00:28:33,549
I mean, Andrew is smart,
he's kind,
711
00:28:33,551 --> 00:28:35,150
he doesn't dress like
a high school student
712
00:28:35,152 --> 00:28:37,452
who just got expelled.
What is wrong with me?
713
00:28:37,454 --> 00:28:39,354
I'm not feeling anything
I'm supposed to be feeling.
714
00:28:39,356 --> 00:28:42,024
I'm an expert in many things,
but love is not one of them.
715
00:28:42,026 --> 00:28:43,959
I do know, however,
it cannot be reduced
716
00:28:43,961 --> 00:28:45,294
to a checklist of traits.
717
00:28:45,296 --> 00:28:47,095
You know, you might
have to accept
718
00:28:47,097 --> 00:28:50,465
the fact that whatever your
relationship with Andrew means,
719
00:28:50,467 --> 00:28:52,968
you just don't want it.
720
00:28:52,970 --> 00:28:55,270
Then what do I want?
721
00:28:55,272 --> 00:28:56,939
I don't know.
722
00:28:56,941 --> 00:28:59,207
While you're sorting that out,
you might inadvertently
723
00:28:59,209 --> 00:29:02,144
be treating a kind man...
rather shabbily.
724
00:29:06,583 --> 00:29:08,684
Well, I-I know
what has to happen.
725
00:29:08,686 --> 00:29:10,252
What are you up to, anyway?
726
00:29:10,254 --> 00:29:11,753
Why-why are you
making Clyde paint?
727
00:29:11,755 --> 00:29:13,722
I'm not forcing him
to do anything.
728
00:29:13,724 --> 00:29:15,591
He enjoys it.
729
00:29:15,593 --> 00:29:18,260
It's quite soothing to watch...
730
00:29:18,262 --> 00:29:20,862
while I wait to be humiliated.
731
00:29:20,864 --> 00:29:24,566
When we parted company, we were
assuming that Steven Horowitz
732
00:29:24,568 --> 00:29:26,501
was murdered
by one of his investors.
733
00:29:26,503 --> 00:29:28,870
Now, cursory investigation
has revealed that to be false.
734
00:29:28,872 --> 00:29:31,473
Steven, it turns out,
worked enough of the Mother Lode
735
00:29:31,475 --> 00:29:32,708
to pay off his investors
736
00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:34,643
before he had his
change of heart.
737
00:29:34,645 --> 00:29:36,812
So if it wasn't one of them...
738
00:29:36,814 --> 00:29:38,313
We are quite without suspect.
739
00:29:38,315 --> 00:29:40,215
In an effort to dredge one up,
740
00:29:40,217 --> 00:29:42,451
I've been thinking
about the nature of debt.
741
00:29:42,453 --> 00:29:43,785
It is, first
and foremost,
742
00:29:43,787 --> 00:29:46,555
leverage that one person
holds over another.
743
00:29:46,557 --> 00:29:48,724
- Okay.
- Given that,
744
00:29:48,726 --> 00:29:50,892
I've been wondering
if perhaps our killer had reason
745
00:29:50,894 --> 00:29:52,628
to want someone
in that portfolio--
746
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:54,863
or someones-- to stay in debt.
747
00:29:54,865 --> 00:29:56,932
Before he had his
change of heart,
748
00:29:56,934 --> 00:29:58,900
Steven drove all the way
out to Connecticut
749
00:29:58,902 --> 00:30:00,969
to hound one man--
Owen Downey.
750
00:30:00,971 --> 00:30:03,405
Now, there are other people
listed on the Mother Lode
751
00:30:03,407 --> 00:30:05,407
who owed more money
and lived nearby.
752
00:30:05,409 --> 00:30:06,608
Steven focused on Owen.
753
00:30:06,610 --> 00:30:08,343
Why?
754
00:30:09,779 --> 00:30:11,146
Upon revisiting Owen,
755
00:30:11,148 --> 00:30:12,781
I discovered
something quite interesting
756
00:30:12,783 --> 00:30:15,217
about his community--
all of the properties
757
00:30:15,219 --> 00:30:18,754
within a five-mile radius
of... Owen's house
758
00:30:18,756 --> 00:30:20,922
were purchased
over the last two years
759
00:30:20,924 --> 00:30:24,126
by the same property developer:
Jay Stern Investments.
760
00:30:24,128 --> 00:30:26,094
For what?
Don't know.
761
00:30:26,096 --> 00:30:27,396
Hasn't been made public yet.
762
00:30:27,398 --> 00:30:29,064
I've asked our friends
at Everyone
763
00:30:29,066 --> 00:30:31,099
to have a look behind Stern
Investments' firewalls
764
00:30:31,101 --> 00:30:33,568
and perhaps shed some light
on the matter.
765
00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:36,104
They're presently deciding
what price they wish to extract.
766
00:30:36,106 --> 00:30:38,740
Which is why you're
waiting to be humiliated.
767
00:30:38,742 --> 00:30:41,143
I believe that
might be them now.
768
00:30:47,183 --> 00:30:48,817
Ha!
769
00:30:48,819 --> 00:30:50,285
Brilliant.
770
00:30:50,287 --> 00:30:52,387
Yes. They are no doubt
congratulating themselves
771
00:30:52,389 --> 00:30:54,756
on having erected
their most fiendish obstacle yet.
772
00:30:54,758 --> 00:30:56,992
Well, yeah, they want
a Super Bowl ring.
773
00:30:56,994 --> 00:30:58,794
The proverbial
piece of cake.
774
00:30:58,796 --> 00:31:01,596
I'll simply call Phillip
and the matter will be well in hand.
775
00:31:01,598 --> 00:31:03,498
Phillip? Phil Simms?
I mean, I know you two
776
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:05,467
have worked together
or something, but do you really think
777
00:31:05,469 --> 00:31:07,869
he's just gonna give you one of his
Super Bowl rings?
778
00:31:07,871 --> 00:31:10,839
You've got no idea
what the man owes me.
779
00:31:16,813 --> 00:31:17,979
Morning.
780
00:31:17,981 --> 00:31:19,815
Repast. Couture.
781
00:31:19,817 --> 00:31:23,552
We're going to see the board
of directors at Stern Investments.
782
00:31:23,554 --> 00:31:26,521
I didn't know
I had any clothes left here.
783
00:31:26,523 --> 00:31:28,423
You didn't.
I purchased those.
784
00:31:28,425 --> 00:31:31,326
We frequently work late nights,
so I imagined they'd be of use.
785
00:31:31,328 --> 00:31:32,928
Hope they're
to your liking.
786
00:31:32,930 --> 00:31:35,731
Oh. It's great, actually.
Thanks.
787
00:31:35,733 --> 00:31:37,799
Uh, why are we going
to Stern Investments?
788
00:31:37,801 --> 00:31:39,534
Phillip squared
his account with me,
789
00:31:39,536 --> 00:31:41,103
and Everyone got their ring.
790
00:31:41,105 --> 00:31:43,772
They spent quite a bit
of time on Stern's servers.
791
00:31:43,774 --> 00:31:45,540
I learned some interesting
details about the sex lives
792
00:31:45,542 --> 00:31:47,542
of some of the board members.
I also determined
793
00:31:47,544 --> 00:31:50,378
they're planning to build
a ski resort in Connecticut.
794
00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:52,280
Naugatuck,
to be exact.
795
00:31:52,282 --> 00:31:55,550
- Which is why they're buying up the land.
- At the moment,
796
00:31:55,552 --> 00:31:57,486
the details of the project are
known only to the six members
797
00:31:57,488 --> 00:31:59,654
of Stern's board and their CEO.
798
00:31:59,656 --> 00:32:01,757
They'd like to unveil the plans
next week.
799
00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:04,826
Only there's a problem:
Owen Downey's house sits right
800
00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:06,228
in the middle of their proposed
801
00:32:06,230 --> 00:32:08,096
- mountain lodge.
- He's a holdout.
802
00:32:08,098 --> 00:32:09,431
Hmm.
803
00:32:09,433 --> 00:32:11,433
Mr. Downey
is understandably unwilling
804
00:32:11,435 --> 00:32:13,468
to uproot his life
in his current condition.
805
00:32:13,470 --> 00:32:15,637
Stern thinks they'll be able
to force a sale,
806
00:32:15,639 --> 00:32:17,672
since Owen will not be able
to repay his medical debts
807
00:32:17,674 --> 00:32:19,574
unless he sells
his last remaining asset,
808
00:32:19,576 --> 00:32:23,044
- his home.
- But if Steven forgave Owen's debt...
809
00:32:23,046 --> 00:32:24,412
There'd be no need to sell.
810
00:32:24,414 --> 00:32:26,748
The entire resort
would be imperiled.
811
00:32:26,750 --> 00:32:29,217
Only six people knew about this?
812
00:32:29,219 --> 00:32:30,919
Seven, including the CEO.
813
00:32:30,921 --> 00:32:33,188
I do like a nice tidy pool
of suspects.
814
00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:36,358
We've got to be able to line up
815
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,726
everybody in town, I mean,
shoulder to shoulder,
816
00:32:37,728 --> 00:32:39,694
or we're gonna look
817
00:32:39,696 --> 00:32:41,930
- awfully weak in this next meeting.
- Morning, ladies and gentlemen.
818
00:32:41,932 --> 00:32:43,832
- What the hell is going on?
- I'm sorry, sir.
819
00:32:43,834 --> 00:32:45,934
- I couldn't stop them.
- Apologies for the interruption,
820
00:32:45,936 --> 00:32:47,869
but cold logic dictates
that one of you
821
00:32:47,871 --> 00:32:50,505
is likely a killer.
My colleague and I are in
822
00:32:50,507 --> 00:32:52,607
an on-again, off-again
relationship with the NYPD.
823
00:32:52,609 --> 00:32:54,442
We thought we'd take a look
at you all in one place
824
00:32:54,444 --> 00:32:56,444
- and see if anyone pops out.
- This is insane.
825
00:32:56,446 --> 00:32:58,046
What are you even
talking about?
826
00:32:58,048 --> 00:33:00,749
Look, you can't barge in here.
Get out.
827
00:33:00,751 --> 00:33:02,584
Call our attorneys.
828
00:33:02,586 --> 00:33:05,954
Sherlock.
829
00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:10,225
My apologies.
830
00:33:10,227 --> 00:33:12,294
On second thoughts,
it's distinctly possible
831
00:33:12,296 --> 00:33:14,329
there is no killer
in this room.
832
00:33:14,331 --> 00:33:16,932
One of you, however,
does like to be spanked.
833
00:33:18,301 --> 00:33:20,168
Carry on!
834
00:33:21,838 --> 00:33:23,271
What happened in there?
I thought you were sure
835
00:33:23,273 --> 00:33:24,806
one of them did it.
836
00:33:24,808 --> 00:33:26,408
Of the seven people
in that room,
837
00:33:26,410 --> 00:33:28,243
three of them are women
of small stature.
838
00:33:28,245 --> 00:33:30,078
One was a geriatric,
and one was trying to hide
839
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,247
the fact that he's nearly blind
from the rest of his colleagues.
840
00:33:32,249 --> 00:33:34,416
And one, whose e-mails
I happen to have read,
841
00:33:34,418 --> 00:33:36,785
was spending his evening
in the company of his dominatrix
842
00:33:36,787 --> 00:33:38,820
at the time
that Steven Horowitz was killed.
843
00:33:38,822 --> 00:33:41,256
The CEO was the only one
who could have overpowered
844
00:33:41,258 --> 00:33:43,258
and bludgeoned a grown man,
and he had the remnants
845
00:33:43,260 --> 00:33:44,960
of a peeling sunburn
at the edges of his hairline.
846
00:33:44,962 --> 00:33:46,895
We'll confirm it,
but I think he was on holiday
847
00:33:46,897 --> 00:33:48,134
at the time of the murder.
848
00:33:48,158 --> 00:33:49,665
Any one of them
could have hired a killer.
849
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:51,066
Unlikely.
850
00:33:51,068 --> 00:33:52,667
Professional killers tend
to execute people
851
00:33:52,669 --> 00:33:54,369
in professional fashion.
They don't blunder about
852
00:33:54,371 --> 00:33:55,704
with fire extinguishers.
853
00:33:55,706 --> 00:33:57,339
So in other words,
we're nowhere.
854
00:33:57,341 --> 00:33:58,907
Quite the contrary.
855
00:33:58,909 --> 00:34:01,543
I have a very good idea
who killed Steven Horowitz.
856
00:34:12,177 --> 00:34:14,244
Sorry, who are you here
to meet with?
857
00:34:14,246 --> 00:34:16,499
Oh, no, were not here to meet
anyone. We just came to look
858
00:34:16,499 --> 00:34:18,266
at one of your partners,
uh, Coleman Brown.
859
00:34:18,268 --> 00:34:22,036
Um, th-these are on, uh,
public display, are they not?
860
00:34:22,038 --> 00:34:24,672
- I guess.
- Great. Thanks.
861
00:34:28,644 --> 00:34:31,045
When we were expelled
from Stern Investments,
862
00:34:31,047 --> 00:34:33,448
their CEO gave me the card
of their attorney.
863
00:34:33,450 --> 00:34:36,317
Did you know that Stern
Investments is represented by...
864
00:34:36,319 --> 00:34:37,552
Dorchester-Reid?
865
00:34:37,554 --> 00:34:39,987
So someone from Steven's
866
00:34:39,989 --> 00:34:41,689
old law firm
represents the people
867
00:34:41,691 --> 00:34:44,425
who want to build a ski resort
on Owen Downey's property.
868
00:34:44,427 --> 00:34:46,994
An attorney who, if worth
his salt as a negotiator,
869
00:34:46,996 --> 00:34:48,996
stands to earn
a massive commission
870
00:34:48,998 --> 00:34:51,366
should the resort
become a reality.
871
00:34:51,368 --> 00:34:53,101
Coleman Brown.
872
00:34:53,103 --> 00:34:55,169
I did a little research
on the way over here.
873
00:34:55,171 --> 00:34:57,672
Coleman and Steven
were both members
874
00:34:57,674 --> 00:34:59,273
of the Braebury Country Club.
875
00:34:59,275 --> 00:35:01,609
Apparently they routinely
played golf together.
876
00:35:01,611 --> 00:35:04,445
I suspect it was Coleman Brown
who made Steven aware
877
00:35:04,447 --> 00:35:06,047
of the Mother Lode
in the first place.
878
00:35:06,049 --> 00:35:08,282
So this guy points Steven
at Owen.
879
00:35:08,284 --> 00:35:10,718
But if Steven forgave
Owen's debt
880
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,454
instead of breathing down his
neck until he sold his house...
881
00:35:13,456 --> 00:35:15,890
Coleman Brown
would lose millions.
882
00:35:16,892 --> 00:35:18,359
Excuse me.
883
00:35:18,361 --> 00:35:19,594
Mr. Brown.
884
00:35:19,596 --> 00:35:21,162
It's a very good likeness, yes.
885
00:35:21,164 --> 00:35:22,897
A bit flattering
in the cheekbones
886
00:35:22,899 --> 00:35:24,432
- but it's good.
- Our receptionist said
887
00:35:24,434 --> 00:35:26,667
there were two people here
to look at a painting of me.
888
00:35:26,669 --> 00:35:27,902
Can I help you with something?
889
00:35:27,904 --> 00:35:29,404
Oh, no. Not at the moment.
890
00:35:29,406 --> 00:35:31,739
Thank you, though.
891
00:35:35,577 --> 00:35:38,179
So now what?
892
00:35:38,181 --> 00:35:41,282
Now we build a case
against Mr. Brown.
893
00:35:50,292 --> 00:35:53,694
Did you really have to
bring that back here?
894
00:35:53,696 --> 00:35:55,830
I hardly think
the painting will be missed.
895
00:35:55,832 --> 00:35:58,833
Once we prove that Coleman Brown
is a cold-blooded murderer,
896
00:35:58,835 --> 00:36:00,635
they'll probably take it down
anyway.
897
00:36:00,637 --> 00:36:04,705
Besides, there's something
about his smug visage
898
00:36:04,707 --> 00:36:07,208
I find highly motivating.
899
00:36:07,210 --> 00:36:09,577
If you're so motivated, how come
we haven't connected him
900
00:36:09,579 --> 00:36:11,312
- to the murder yet?
- I suspect
901
00:36:11,314 --> 00:36:13,881
it has to do with a paucity
of physical evidence.
902
00:36:16,452 --> 00:36:18,186
I don't care if you're motivated
903
00:36:18,188 --> 00:36:20,221
by him or not.
I feel like he's staring at me.
904
00:36:20,223 --> 00:36:22,223
I'm taking it down.
905
00:36:31,700 --> 00:36:34,335
In this painting,
Mr. Brown is wearing
906
00:36:34,337 --> 00:36:35,970
a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.
907
00:36:35,972 --> 00:36:37,371
If you Google him,
908
00:36:37,373 --> 00:36:39,707
he's wearing the same pair
in all of his pictures.
909
00:36:39,709 --> 00:36:41,108
When we met him today...
910
00:36:41,110 --> 00:36:42,810
He was wearing rimless frames.
911
00:36:42,812 --> 00:36:45,346
Could be he has more
than one pair of glasses.
912
00:36:45,348 --> 00:36:46,848
Could be.
913
00:36:46,850 --> 00:36:50,418
Or maybe there's some
physical evidence after all.
914
00:36:52,254 --> 00:36:54,956
Mr. Brown.
Thanks for coming down.
915
00:36:54,958 --> 00:36:57,358
Whatever.
Let's make this fast.
916
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,728
We just have a few questions.
Right this way.
917
00:37:02,297 --> 00:37:04,232
Oh, seriously?
918
00:37:04,234 --> 00:37:05,900
These two?
They stole
919
00:37:05,902 --> 00:37:07,668
a portrait worth
thousands of dollars
920
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:09,437
from my office
yesterday.
921
00:37:09,439 --> 00:37:12,406
Uh, well, we'll, uh,
922
00:37:12,408 --> 00:37:13,841
sort that out
in a bit.
923
00:37:13,843 --> 00:37:16,744
First, uh,
have a seat.
924
00:37:16,746 --> 00:37:19,146
We wanted to talk
to you about...
925
00:37:19,148 --> 00:37:20,915
Steven Horowitz.
926
00:37:20,917 --> 00:37:22,683
Guy who used to
work at my firm?
927
00:37:22,685 --> 00:37:24,285
We know
that you alerted Steven
928
00:37:24,287 --> 00:37:26,087
to a package of debt
which contained
929
00:37:26,089 --> 00:37:28,022
Owen Downey's medical bills.
930
00:37:28,024 --> 00:37:30,725
We also know that you stood
to earn millions of dollars
931
00:37:30,727 --> 00:37:32,760
if Stern Investments
could compel Mr. Downey
932
00:37:32,762 --> 00:37:34,128
to sell his home.
933
00:37:34,130 --> 00:37:35,796
Unfortunately,
934
00:37:35,798 --> 00:37:38,933
your debt collector had
a sentimental streak.
935
00:37:38,935 --> 00:37:41,302
And when Steven told you he
planned to forgive Owen's debt
936
00:37:41,304 --> 00:37:43,104
along with everyone else's,
you couldn't abide that,
937
00:37:43,106 --> 00:37:45,640
could you? You
went to his office
938
00:37:45,642 --> 00:37:47,141
and you confronted him.
939
00:37:47,143 --> 00:37:49,210
And then you killed him.
940
00:37:49,212 --> 00:37:52,413
That's ridiculous. I've never
even set foot in his office.
941
00:37:52,415 --> 00:37:55,917
- Are you sure about that?
- Yes, I'm sure. I'm getting an attorney.
942
00:37:55,919 --> 00:37:58,553
That's a good idea.
'Cause you're gonna need one.
943
00:37:58,555 --> 00:38:00,454
You recently bought a new pair
of glasses, didn't you?
944
00:38:00,456 --> 00:38:02,189
So?
945
00:38:02,191 --> 00:38:04,992
So you needed to buy a new pair
of glasses because you shattered
946
00:38:04,994 --> 00:38:08,563
your old ones
when you attacked Mr. Horowitz.
947
00:38:08,565 --> 00:38:10,197
We picked through the
evidence again last night.
948
00:38:10,199 --> 00:38:12,066
Most of what we found
was shattered glass
949
00:38:12,068 --> 00:38:14,635
from the fire extinguisher box.
But some of it
950
00:38:14,637 --> 00:38:16,871
was polycarbonate.
951
00:38:16,873 --> 00:38:19,307
Like you'd find
from a pair of glasses.
952
00:38:19,309 --> 00:38:21,008
When we put those pieces
together,
953
00:38:21,010 --> 00:38:24,011
a fingerprint very courteously
assembled itself
954
00:38:24,013 --> 00:38:26,414
on the partially
reconstituted lens.
955
00:38:27,783 --> 00:38:29,617
Would you like to guess
whose it was?
956
00:38:29,619 --> 00:38:31,152
What were you
saying before
957
00:38:31,154 --> 00:38:33,254
about never having set foot
in his office?
958
00:38:33,256 --> 00:38:39,226
I'm not saying anything else
without my attorney present.
959
00:38:40,796 --> 00:38:44,966
You have exactly
one bargaining chip left.
960
00:38:44,968 --> 00:38:48,269
The location
of Steven Horowitz's body.
961
00:38:49,905 --> 00:38:51,772
We'll go ahead
and call your attorney
962
00:38:51,774 --> 00:38:53,474
right after we get done
963
00:38:53,476 --> 00:38:55,509
reading you
your rights.
964
00:39:03,385 --> 00:39:05,186
What is that?
965
00:39:05,188 --> 00:39:07,221
That, madam, is your property.
966
00:39:07,223 --> 00:39:11,492
You're Steven Horowitz's
next of kin, so...
967
00:39:11,494 --> 00:39:13,828
you rightfully inherit ownership
of the debt he was collecting
968
00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:16,097
in order to maintain
the family lifestyle.
969
00:39:16,099 --> 00:39:20,768
Steven could have told me
he was fired.
970
00:39:20,770 --> 00:39:23,137
My God.
971
00:39:23,139 --> 00:39:24,972
What happened to us?
972
00:39:24,974 --> 00:39:26,574
I couldn't say.
973
00:39:26,576 --> 00:39:29,577
I can tell you that
that package, worked properly,
974
00:39:29,579 --> 00:39:31,479
will make you
very, very wealthy.
975
00:39:31,481 --> 00:39:37,151
Steven decided he had
other ideas for it.
976
00:39:37,153 --> 00:39:40,655
Whether or not you decide
to honor those ideas is...
977
00:39:40,657 --> 00:39:42,556
entirely up to you.
978
00:40:14,589 --> 00:40:16,023
Skim milk latte
979
00:40:16,025 --> 00:40:18,059
for Joan and whole
milk latte for Andrew.
980
00:40:18,061 --> 00:40:20,261
Thank you.
981
00:40:20,263 --> 00:40:22,897
Oh. Excuse me.
982
00:40:23,965 --> 00:40:25,633
Here we go.
983
00:40:25,635 --> 00:40:29,937
Oh. Thanks.
984
00:40:29,939 --> 00:40:32,106
Skim milk.
985
00:40:32,108 --> 00:40:34,241
I think you gave me the wrong one.
Oh.
986
00:40:34,243 --> 00:40:36,043
Sorry.
987
00:40:36,045 --> 00:40:39,747
So, what's
going on?
988
00:40:39,749 --> 00:40:42,216
Why'd you want to meet?
989
00:40:42,218 --> 00:40:44,785
Um...
990
00:40:46,054 --> 00:40:49,056
Andrew,
you're such a great guy,
991
00:40:49,058 --> 00:40:52,493
and I'm lucky to know you.
I just...
992
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:57,832
I'm not what you're looking for
right now?
993
00:40:57,834 --> 00:41:00,000
Yeah, I-I don't know
what I'm looking for.
994
00:41:00,002 --> 00:41:01,502
- That's the problem.
- Yeah.
995
00:41:03,505 --> 00:41:06,407
Um...
I mean, if...
996
00:41:06,409 --> 00:41:09,777
Andrew, are you okay?
997
00:41:11,614 --> 00:41:14,815
Oh, my God,
what's wrong?
998
00:41:17,786 --> 00:41:20,254
Oh, my God.
Somebody call an ambulance!
999
00:41:20,256 --> 00:41:21,822
Okay. Okay. Okay.
1000
00:41:21,824 --> 00:41:23,924
Andrew. Andrew.
1001
00:41:23,926 --> 00:41:26,794
Oh, God.
1002
00:41:26,796 --> 00:41:29,864
No. Andrew?
1003
00:41:33,102 --> 00:41:35,302
Okay.
1004
00:41:35,304 --> 00:41:38,572
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten....
