1
00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:03,428
Previously on Elementary...
2
00:00:03,429 --> 00:00:04,500
I lied the other night
3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,910
when I said I hadn't
seen the captain.
4
00:00:06,010 --> 00:00:08,410
Because of my transgressions
neither one of us
5
00:00:08,412 --> 00:00:11,046
will be permitted to consult
for the department again.
6
00:00:11,048 --> 00:00:13,649
Your father called.
He's gonna be here tomorrow.
7
00:00:13,651 --> 00:00:15,784
MORLAND: You've made
a mess, Sherlock.
8
00:00:15,786 --> 00:00:17,419
I'm here to fix it.
9
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:24,026
Oh, what a shame.
10
00:00:24,028 --> 00:00:26,261
History repeats
itself, I'm afraid.
11
00:00:26,263 --> 00:00:28,297
We're out of
Tienchi Flower.
12
00:00:28,299 --> 00:00:29,865
This happens
to you often?
13
00:00:29,867 --> 00:00:31,300
Well, it happened
rather famously
14
00:00:31,302 --> 00:00:33,569
on your one and only visit
to Baker Street.
15
00:00:33,571 --> 00:00:35,370
Or do you not recall
excoriating me
16
00:00:35,372 --> 00:00:37,172
for not stocking
your favorite tea?
17
00:00:37,174 --> 00:00:39,108
It won't happen today.
18
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:40,609
I gave up Tienchi
19
00:00:40,611 --> 00:00:42,311
in 2003.
20
00:00:42,313 --> 00:00:44,246
Well, despite of our
infrequent correspondence,
21
00:00:44,248 --> 00:00:46,215
I've not forgotten the core
tenets of our relationship,
22
00:00:46,217 --> 00:00:47,750
so I can spare
you the speech.
23
00:00:47,752 --> 00:00:49,318
I thought
to be a great detective,
24
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,719
one had to be a great listener.
25
00:00:50,721 --> 00:00:52,421
I listened
closely for years.
26
00:00:52,423 --> 00:00:54,590
You're too busy
to have patience for weakness,
27
00:00:54,592 --> 00:00:56,625
real or imagined,
and that hasn't changed.
28
00:00:56,627 --> 00:01:00,496
I don't need reminding
that a relapse is grounds
29
00:01:00,498 --> 00:01:03,232
for eviction.
I told you... I'm here to help.
30
00:01:03,234 --> 00:01:04,767
'Cause that's what you do--
you help people?
31
00:01:04,769 --> 00:01:07,069
I help you... Sherlock.
32
00:01:07,071 --> 00:01:09,138
We might have different
definitions of that word.
33
00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:10,506
Several years ago,
34
00:01:10,508 --> 00:01:12,141
who forced you into rehab?
35
00:01:12,143 --> 00:01:14,009
Who paired you
with Miss Watson?
36
00:01:14,011 --> 00:01:16,678
Who set you on the path
from which you have fallen?
37
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,947
So tell me, Father, how are you
to help me this time?
38
00:01:18,949 --> 00:01:22,618
Give your assent,
and I will see you restored
39
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:25,554
to the employ of
the New York Police Department.
40
00:01:25,556 --> 00:01:27,523
Why would you do that?
41
00:01:27,525 --> 00:01:29,858
When you had your troubles
in London,
42
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:32,661
I lost faith in you.
43
00:01:32,663 --> 00:01:35,097
I provided for you in New York
44
00:01:35,099 --> 00:01:38,400
because I wanted you
out of sight and mind.
45
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:41,703
Little did I know
46
00:01:41,705 --> 00:01:43,672
that the untended corner
of the garden
47
00:01:43,674 --> 00:01:45,374
would grow so strong
and healthy.
48
00:01:45,376 --> 00:01:48,110
Yes, I'm quite robust--
seven whole days sober.
49
00:01:48,112 --> 00:01:52,915
I'm not talking
about the last few days.
50
00:01:52,917 --> 00:01:56,285
I'm talking about
the last few years.
51
00:01:56,287 --> 00:01:58,821
I respect what
you've built here,
52
00:01:58,823 --> 00:02:01,957
the work you've done.
53
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:04,593
I'm proud of you.
54
00:02:05,862 --> 00:02:08,263
Didn't think I would be.
55
00:02:08,265 --> 00:02:10,699
In the early days,
56
00:02:10,701 --> 00:02:13,902
Miss Watson and I
communicated by e-mail.
57
00:02:13,904 --> 00:02:17,773
She described the support system
you were building.
58
00:02:17,775 --> 00:02:21,977
How your job at the department
was an important part of it.
59
00:02:21,979 --> 00:02:24,446
You have structure
there, friends.
60
00:02:26,716 --> 00:02:28,150
I fear that without it,
you'd struggle.
61
00:02:28,152 --> 00:02:30,719
I have Watson,
I have a program,
62
00:02:30,721 --> 00:02:33,222
and the department does
not have a monopoly
63
00:02:33,224 --> 00:02:34,690
on investigative work.
64
00:02:34,692 --> 00:02:37,359
Perhaps I'm wrong to worry.
65
00:02:37,361 --> 00:02:39,895
You know how often I'm wrong.
66
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:46,368
I don't know how long
I'll be in New York,
67
00:02:46,370 --> 00:02:48,737
but the offer is
a standing one.
68
00:02:48,739 --> 00:02:51,807
Quite simple for me to reverse
your status with the police
69
00:02:51,809 --> 00:02:54,576
if that's what you
and Miss Watson want.
70
00:02:54,578 --> 00:02:56,645
Well, I can't speak for her.
71
00:02:56,647 --> 00:02:59,281
Of course not.
72
00:02:59,283 --> 00:03:01,617
I am hoping
you will introduce us,
73
00:03:01,619 --> 00:03:03,585
so I can extend
the same offer myself.
74
00:03:05,455 --> 00:03:06,989
And I want to thank her.
75
00:03:08,391 --> 00:03:10,893
She saved my son's life.

Hey.
101
00:04:34,101 --> 00:04:36,468
Have you been sitting there
since last night?
102
00:04:37,645 --> 00:04:39,478
Last night, I came home,
you said you were thinking,
103
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:40,845
I went to bed.
104
00:04:41,496 --> 00:04:42,629
You're dressed for work.
105
00:04:42,631 --> 00:04:45,765
You seem slow today.
Not great timing.
106
00:04:45,767 --> 00:04:47,901
We're due at the scene
of a triple homicide.
107
00:04:47,903 --> 00:04:49,536
What?
108
00:04:49,538 --> 00:04:51,204
We have a job interview.
109
00:04:51,206 --> 00:04:53,373
Sort of. Audition might be
a better way of putting it.
110
00:04:53,375 --> 00:04:55,375
With whom?
Gary Burke. He's FBI.
111
00:04:55,377 --> 00:04:58,078
I met him while
you were working for MI6.
112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,579
He's a little buttoned-up,
but I think
113
00:04:59,581 --> 00:05:01,314
he's the kind of guy
we can get along with.
114
00:05:01,316 --> 00:05:02,816
Well, he is,
if he's routinely in charge
115
00:05:02,818 --> 00:05:03,950
of triple homicide
investigations.
116
00:05:03,952 --> 00:05:05,318
I don't know how routine it is,
117
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,053
but he caught one this morning.
118
00:05:07,055 --> 00:05:08,788
Three dead at a neuro-economics
lab in Harlem.
119
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:10,890
Some top-secret research
was stolen.
120
00:05:10,892 --> 00:05:14,094
I convinced him
that he could use our expertise
121
00:05:14,096 --> 00:05:15,495
in neuro-economics.
122
00:05:15,497 --> 00:05:17,163
Are you an expert
in neuro-economics?
123
00:05:17,165 --> 00:05:21,768
I mean, compared
to an FBI agent, apparently.
124
00:05:21,770 --> 00:05:23,670
We can bone up on the way.
125
00:05:23,672 --> 00:05:25,605
He's the only one
who called me back.
126
00:05:25,607 --> 00:05:28,274
Do you want to work or not?
127
00:05:31,178 --> 00:05:34,380
Joan. It's nice
to see you again.
128
00:05:34,382 --> 00:05:36,216
You, too.
You must be Mr. Holmes.
129
00:05:36,218 --> 00:05:37,884
Special Agent Gary Burke.
130
00:05:37,886 --> 00:05:39,686
Thank you for the invitation.
131
00:05:39,688 --> 00:05:41,421
Yeah, about that.
A few ground rules.
132
00:05:41,423 --> 00:05:44,190
I know you guys are used
to having some latitude,
133
00:05:44,192 --> 00:05:46,292
but on this, you go
where I go, and that's it.
134
00:05:46,294 --> 00:05:48,361
Got it?
135
00:05:48,363 --> 00:05:50,997
Okay. We got
two dead scientists,
136
00:05:50,999 --> 00:05:52,966
one dead test subject,
137
00:05:52,968 --> 00:05:54,868
and seven hard drives stolen.
138
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:57,804
Janitors found the bodies
early this morning.
139
00:05:57,806 --> 00:05:59,806
Would we be right
in assuming that one
140
00:05:59,808 --> 00:06:02,208
of the stolen computers had
the surveillance video on it?
141
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:02,947
You would.
142
00:06:02,971 --> 00:06:04,971
And the contents
of the other six are the reason
143
00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:07,881
that this is a matter
for the FBI and not the NYPD?
144
00:06:07,883 --> 00:06:10,583
Yes, but, uh, let our DARPA
buddies explain the rest.
145
00:06:10,585 --> 00:06:12,552
They just arrived, too.
146
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:17,123
Morning.
MAN: Good morning.
147
00:06:17,125 --> 00:06:20,460
Samuel Meher. Deputy Director.
This is Alta Von See,
148
00:06:20,462 --> 00:06:21,928
our head of special projects.
149
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:23,363
The director wanted to be
here himself, but he had
150
00:06:23,365 --> 00:06:25,665
to brief Congressional Oversight.
About this?
151
00:06:25,667 --> 00:06:27,300
We fund hundreds of projects,
152
00:06:27,302 --> 00:06:29,235
but these researchers are really
onto something special here.
153
00:06:29,237 --> 00:06:31,671
This is more than a tragedy
for the families.
154
00:06:31,673 --> 00:06:34,374
The work that was taken--
it's big.
155
00:06:34,376 --> 00:06:36,809
I assume you're at liberty to
use more precise descriptives
156
00:06:36,811 --> 00:06:38,244
to explain what was stolen?
157
00:06:38,246 --> 00:06:40,580
How much do you know
about neuro-economics?
158
00:06:40,582 --> 00:06:44,117
We're experts.
Well, I'm not, so go slow.
159
00:06:44,119 --> 00:06:46,819
Dr. Sarkisian and Dr. Weller
160
00:06:46,821 --> 00:06:48,888
were mapping the loci
in the brain
161
00:06:48,890 --> 00:06:51,491
that light up
when emotional responses
162
00:06:51,493 --> 00:06:53,826
are triggered, when opinions change.
They were using
163
00:06:53,828 --> 00:06:55,195
the data to perfect
an algorithm.
164
00:06:55,197 --> 00:06:58,164
It works a little like
a personalized search.
165
00:06:58,166 --> 00:07:00,767
The program curates the news
a user reads online.
166
00:07:00,769 --> 00:07:02,368
Curates?
167
00:07:02,370 --> 00:07:04,837
The program learns what kind
of stories you respond to
168
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,241
and gives you more of what
you want, as a delivery system
169
00:07:08,243 --> 00:07:09,976
for favorable narratives.
170
00:07:09,978 --> 00:07:12,712
It renders users' opinions more fluid.
In a nutshell,
171
00:07:12,714 --> 00:07:15,181
Agent Burke, they're perfecting
the art of brainwashing.
172
00:07:15,183 --> 00:07:17,584
MEHER: Well, that's not
how we'd put it.
173
00:07:17,586 --> 00:07:20,887
It's... a weapon
of soft power.
174
00:07:20,889 --> 00:07:23,323
Sarkisian and Weller
hadn't presented the results.
175
00:07:23,325 --> 00:07:25,058
They weren't out
of beta-testing.
176
00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:27,860
But we had high hopes.
177
00:07:27,862 --> 00:07:29,262
(camera shutter clicking)
178
00:07:29,264 --> 00:07:30,797
BURKE:
Dr. Gail Sarkisian.
179
00:07:30,799 --> 00:07:32,765
Figure she was
killed first.
180
00:07:32,767 --> 00:07:34,500
She's closest to the door.
181
00:07:34,502 --> 00:07:37,570
Shots fired from
extremely close range.
182
00:07:37,572 --> 00:07:39,472
Dr. Frank Weller was next.
183
00:07:39,474 --> 00:07:41,874
Shooter double-tapped
him, too. Smooth.
184
00:07:41,876 --> 00:07:43,610
Like a pro.
185
00:07:43,912 --> 00:07:45,711
The test subject
in the next room
186
00:07:45,713 --> 00:07:48,114
was a grad
student volunteer.
187
00:07:48,116 --> 00:07:50,449
Ollie Tate.
No signs of a struggle.
188
00:07:50,451 --> 00:07:52,618
Everything must have
happened quickly.
189
00:07:52,620 --> 00:07:55,454
BURKE: Like I said,
we're looking at a pro.
190
00:07:55,456 --> 00:07:57,890
Mr. Holmes?
191
00:07:58,859 --> 00:08:02,094
This rat is quite
recently dead.
192
00:08:02,096 --> 00:08:04,230
There are no visible
signs of injury.
193
00:08:06,233 --> 00:08:08,067
Well, there was a lot
of commotion last night.
194
00:08:08,069 --> 00:08:10,403
Maybe he had a tiny
rat heart attack.
195
00:08:10,405 --> 00:08:14,440
You jest, but rats are quite
prone to cardiovascular disease.
196
00:08:14,442 --> 00:08:17,476
How do you think the
killer got inside?
197
00:08:17,478 --> 00:08:20,179
I think perhap
Dr. Sarkisian let him in.
198
00:08:20,181 --> 00:08:22,214
Perhaps she knew him.
199
00:08:22,216 --> 00:08:24,150
On the way in here,
we passed through two doors
200
00:08:24,152 --> 00:08:26,719
which required a key card
for access.
201
00:08:26,721 --> 00:08:30,656
Dr. Sarkisian's is not hanging
on the lanyard around her neck,
202
00:08:30,658 --> 00:08:34,126
as is Dr. Weller's, so...
203
00:08:37,331 --> 00:08:40,566
She was shot
after walking the killer inside.
204
00:08:40,568 --> 00:08:42,835
Mm.
205
00:08:42,837 --> 00:08:45,304
Doesn't look like she kept
much personal stuff here.
206
00:08:45,306 --> 00:08:47,406
Want to get
to know her better.
207
00:08:47,408 --> 00:08:49,141
We should talk to her
family and friends.
208
00:08:49,143 --> 00:08:50,977
Maybe go to her
home, poke around?
209
00:08:50,979 --> 00:08:52,311
We've already got
a team there.
210
00:08:52,313 --> 00:08:54,080
Should we meet them there?
211
00:08:54,082 --> 00:08:57,717
I've got to finish up here,
stay in my lane,
212
00:08:57,719 --> 00:09:00,753
but if you two want
to take off now, that's fine.
213
00:09:00,755 --> 00:09:03,289
"Take off" as in go home?
214
00:09:03,291 --> 00:09:06,292
We want to be as
helpful as we can, Gary.
215
00:09:06,294 --> 00:09:08,194
Our schedule's pretty
open right now.
216
00:09:08,196 --> 00:09:10,630
(sighs)
217
00:09:10,632 --> 00:09:13,299
If we think we need a hand
with anything we find
218
00:09:13,301 --> 00:09:16,335
at Dr. Sarkisian's,
we'll send it to you.
219
00:09:16,337 --> 00:09:19,071
Good enough?
220
00:09:19,073 --> 00:09:21,307
HOLMES:
Whilst it's certainly
221
00:09:21,309 --> 00:09:24,043
convenient to investigate
from the comfort of one's home,
222
00:09:24,045 --> 00:09:25,444
I do find the FBI's
223
00:09:25,446 --> 00:09:27,680
team approach a
little off-putting.
224
00:09:27,682 --> 00:09:29,515
We're a team.
225
00:09:31,084 --> 00:09:33,786
I'm confused as to
how much help we can be
226
00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:35,488
attached to Agent
Burke's hip.
227
00:09:35,490 --> 00:09:37,623
A murder investigation is
not a three-legged race.
228
00:09:37,625 --> 00:09:39,959
Well, we prove ourselves
on this one,
229
00:09:39,961 --> 00:09:42,762
and maybe they give a little
more leeway on the next one.
230
00:09:42,764 --> 00:09:44,930
Or we could
return to the NYPD
231
00:09:44,932 --> 00:09:47,366
where our colleagues
already know our worth.
232
00:09:47,368 --> 00:09:49,001
What are you talking about?
233
00:09:49,003 --> 00:09:51,537
I met with Father yesterday.
234
00:09:51,539 --> 00:09:53,873
He's offered to resurrect our
consultancy with the department.
235
00:09:53,875 --> 00:09:56,575
Wait. You actually
saw your father?
236
00:09:56,577 --> 00:09:59,245
He came here while you
were running errands.
237
00:09:59,247 --> 00:10:01,380
Are you okay?
238
00:10:01,382 --> 00:10:02,915
Do I seem otherwise?
239
00:10:02,917 --> 00:10:05,051
Well, you haven't
seen him in what...
240
00:10:05,053 --> 00:10:08,120
five years, more?
241
00:10:08,122 --> 00:10:11,390
Look, I think it's nice that
he wants to help, but you know
242
00:10:11,392 --> 00:10:13,693
we can't go back to the
department-- it's not possible.
243
00:10:13,695 --> 00:10:16,362
Neither was war in the
Falklands, but the old man tends
244
00:10:16,364 --> 00:10:16,978
to get what he wants.
245
00:10:17,003 --> 00:10:18,399
I can't tell if
you're being serious right now.
246
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,433
How much do you really
know of my father?
247
00:10:20,435 --> 00:10:23,169
We've rarely broached the terms
of your initial employment.
248
00:10:23,171 --> 00:10:25,204
Mostly I dealt
with people under him.
249
00:10:25,206 --> 00:10:27,239
I know he's some sort
of international consultant.
250
00:10:27,241 --> 00:10:30,509
It is true, I am not the first
consultant in the family,
251
00:10:30,511 --> 00:10:32,645
but the title is where
the similarities end.
252
00:10:32,647 --> 00:10:34,013
Father's business exists
253
00:10:34,015 --> 00:10:36,182
to grease the skids
254
00:10:36,184 --> 00:10:37,650
so that politicians
255
00:10:37,652 --> 00:10:39,652
and corporations can operate
around the globe.
256
00:10:39,654 --> 00:10:41,353
Sometimes these are
noble ventures.
257
00:10:41,355 --> 00:10:43,322
More often, they are not.
258
00:10:43,324 --> 00:10:45,825
But they happen because
Father is an influence peddler
259
00:10:45,827 --> 00:10:47,293
par excellence.
260
00:10:47,295 --> 00:10:49,895
And if he says he can
restore us, he means it.
261
00:10:49,897 --> 00:10:52,865
What did you say?
262
00:10:52,867 --> 00:10:54,967
I did not.
263
00:10:54,969 --> 00:10:56,669
I'm not sure
it would be worth the cost.
264
00:10:56,671 --> 00:10:58,037
What cost?
265
00:10:58,039 --> 00:10:59,105
The one we would incur
266
00:10:59,107 --> 00:11:00,339
by accepting his offer.
267
00:11:00,341 --> 00:11:01,807
Did he ask us to do something?
268
00:11:01,809 --> 00:11:04,143
No, but it's only
a matter of time.
269
00:11:04,145 --> 00:11:06,846
With him,
there is always a cost.
270
00:11:06,848 --> 00:11:09,215
The toll always comes due.
271
00:11:10,183 --> 00:11:11,851
Anyway...
272
00:11:11,853 --> 00:11:14,186
it's not my decision to make,
273
00:11:14,188 --> 00:11:16,689
it's ours.
274
00:11:17,524 --> 00:11:19,925
Well, he's your father.
275
00:11:19,927 --> 00:11:22,361
But as you said, we are a team.
276
00:11:22,363 --> 00:11:24,130
You deserve a chance
277
00:11:24,132 --> 00:11:27,099
to meet the man,
find out if Morland Holmes
278
00:11:27,101 --> 00:11:29,535
is someone you want
to be indebted to.
279
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:36,375
I find the Chinese character
suspicious, don't you?
280
00:11:36,377 --> 00:11:38,210
Not their national fiber...
281
00:11:38,212 --> 00:11:40,045
the marking on this note.
282
00:11:42,349 --> 00:11:43,749
It means "beautiful."
283
00:11:43,751 --> 00:11:45,050
I am aware.
284
00:11:45,052 --> 00:11:46,986
The indentations
on the card reveal
285
00:11:46,988 --> 00:11:49,488
that it was used in a bouquet.
"August 20--
286
00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:52,358
a day I will never forget.
XO, DZ."
287
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,561
"D Zed" sent
three more bouquets
288
00:11:55,563 --> 00:11:57,062
with similar notes.
289
00:11:57,064 --> 00:11:59,098
Dr. Sarkisian's little-used
social media accounts
290
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,634
are peppered
with risqué communiqués
291
00:12:01,636 --> 00:12:04,069
from a "DiplomatDan."
292
00:12:04,071 --> 00:12:07,439
Now, as luck would have it,
there is a Dan Zheng
293
00:12:07,441 --> 00:12:10,543
who works as a staffer
at China's U.N. mission.
294
00:12:10,545 --> 00:12:12,211
So DZ,
295
00:12:12,213 --> 00:12:14,914
Dan Zheng, DiplomatDan,
they're one and the same?
296
00:12:14,916 --> 00:12:18,117
I think "SpyDan" might be
a more accurate moniker.
297
00:12:18,119 --> 00:12:20,553
Perhaps even "KillerDan."
298
00:12:20,555 --> 00:12:22,254
He wouldn't be the
first covert operative
299
00:12:22,256 --> 00:12:24,723
to travel with
diplomatic immunity.
300
00:12:24,725 --> 00:12:26,759
Zheng's functional immunity
would not extend to murder,
301
00:12:26,761 --> 00:12:28,727
but he could make sense
as a triggerman.
302
00:12:28,729 --> 00:12:30,896
He's been pitching woo
at Dr. Sarkisian for months,
303
00:12:30,898 --> 00:12:33,098
so she may have
let him into the building.
304
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:34,934
Okay, but what about a motive?
305
00:12:34,936 --> 00:12:37,002
Spies don't have motives;
they have orders.
306
00:12:37,004 --> 00:12:38,737
I mean China's motive.
307
00:12:38,739 --> 00:12:40,940
PRC government already controls
Internet access pretty tightly.
308
00:12:40,942 --> 00:12:43,542
What would they want with, uh,
Gail Sarkisian's research?
309
00:12:43,544 --> 00:12:45,878
In my experience,
those with a great deal of power
310
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,581
are often the same people
who want a great deal more.
311
00:12:48,583 --> 00:12:50,216
There's little doubt
that the Communist Party
312
00:12:50,218 --> 00:12:52,751
has an extensive and illustrious
track record with propaganda,
313
00:12:52,753 --> 00:12:54,787
and then
Drs. Weller and Sarkisian
314
00:12:54,789 --> 00:12:57,923
come along and perfect the art--
so the question then becomes:
315
00:12:57,925 --> 00:13:00,759
Did China kill to acquire it?
316
00:13:01,633 --> 00:13:04,101
Sorry to keep you waiting.
317
00:13:04,103 --> 00:13:06,503
That's quite all right--
while we awaited your arrival,
318
00:13:06,505 --> 00:13:08,538
we entertained ourselves
by watching our betters
319
00:13:08,540 --> 00:13:10,607
as they processed
Mr. Zheng's apartment.
320
00:13:10,609 --> 00:13:12,476
BURKE:
It's like I told you,
321
00:13:12,478 --> 00:13:15,812
consultants need a chaperone--
we are the FBI.
322
00:13:15,814 --> 00:13:18,315
Kind of big on the rules.
What do we got?
323
00:13:18,317 --> 00:13:20,817
You've seen it all except
the moldy peach in the fridge.
324
00:13:20,819 --> 00:13:22,986
Management says rent was
paid six months in advance.
325
00:13:22,988 --> 00:13:25,122
Hard to say when
this guy ghosted.
326
00:13:25,124 --> 00:13:27,691
We saw some of your agents out
there talking to his neighbors.
327
00:13:27,693 --> 00:13:29,693
Nobody's seen Mr. Zheng
in at least a month.
328
00:13:29,695 --> 00:13:31,161
Sounds like everyone
in the building
329
00:13:31,163 --> 00:13:33,396
kind of hated him.
330
00:13:33,398 --> 00:13:35,398
You guys missed this.
331
00:13:36,534 --> 00:13:39,903
Looks like
an old noise complaint.
332
00:13:39,905 --> 00:13:43,039
Well, it would seem we're on the
hunt for the least competent spy
333
00:13:43,041 --> 00:13:45,008
China's employed
since the Ming Dynasty.
334
00:13:45,010 --> 00:13:47,144
He's ahead of us so far.
335
00:13:47,146 --> 00:13:49,479
This apartment's a stone's throw
from Times Square,
336
00:13:49,481 --> 00:13:51,882
the noisiest part of
the noisiest city in the world,
337
00:13:51,884 --> 00:13:54,451
and yet, Mr. Zheng still managed
to rile his neighbors.
338
00:13:54,453 --> 00:13:55,852
If he's that bad
339
00:13:55,854 --> 00:13:57,320
at blending in,
340
00:13:57,322 --> 00:13:58,889
he'll leave a trail a mile wide.
341
00:13:58,891 --> 00:14:01,458
Yeah. Well...
342
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:03,393
we don't need a trail.
343
00:14:03,395 --> 00:14:05,929
We just need a ping.
344
00:14:07,665 --> 00:14:09,366
Not a blip, not a bleep.
345
00:14:09,368 --> 00:14:11,968
The stolen computers have got
to be at least a mile away.
346
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:13,904
So that would tell us
if they were closer?
347
00:14:13,906 --> 00:14:15,405
It's a cell phone
tower simulator.
348
00:14:15,407 --> 00:14:17,908
It sucks up every signal
in a ten-block radius.
349
00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:19,576
When DARPA funds
classified research,
350
00:14:19,578 --> 00:14:23,280
the grant recipients have
to use DARPA computers.
351
00:14:23,282 --> 00:14:25,382
So the laptops that were stolen,
352
00:14:25,384 --> 00:14:28,118
they all have a small,
battery-powered 4G router,
353
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,121
and it would ping if
this unit was close enough.
354
00:14:32,824 --> 00:14:35,458
Listen...
guys, we got to talk.
355
00:14:39,397 --> 00:14:41,932
I'm impressed with how
quickly you dug this guy up.
356
00:14:41,934 --> 00:14:45,435
His disappearing act
is pretty suspicious.
357
00:14:45,437 --> 00:14:48,305
But... this is
probably gonna be the end
358
00:14:48,307 --> 00:14:50,607
of the line on this one,
at least for you guys.
359
00:14:50,609 --> 00:14:51,975
Gary, you know
we can help.
360
00:14:51,977 --> 00:14:54,611
I've seen cases
less sensitive than this
361
00:14:54,613 --> 00:14:57,280
get whisked
out of my hands by DC.
362
00:14:57,282 --> 00:14:59,049
My bosses will do
everything in their power
363
00:14:59,051 --> 00:15:00,984
to keep a lid on this.
364
00:15:00,986 --> 00:15:03,453
They won't want to tip Zheng so
he runs, and they sure as hell
365
00:15:03,455 --> 00:15:05,822
won't want to start
a slap fight with China.
366
00:15:07,225 --> 00:15:10,327
This whole thing is gonna be
sorted out very quietly
367
00:15:10,329 --> 00:15:12,829
and at a very high level.
368
00:15:12,831 --> 00:15:14,631
No, you're wrong.
369
00:15:14,633 --> 00:15:16,833
Excuse me?
370
00:15:16,835 --> 00:15:18,668
This isn't gonna
be handled by DC,
371
00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:20,370
and it's not
gonna be quiet.
372
00:15:20,372 --> 00:15:22,172
It's gonna be loud.
373
00:15:35,875 --> 00:15:38,009
TV NEWSWOMAN: ...as calls intensify
for accountability from DARPA,
374
00:15:38,011 --> 00:15:40,930
State Department officials won't
say if the Chinese government
375
00:15:40,931 --> 00:15:43,131
will respond
tonight or tomorrow.
376
00:15:43,133 --> 00:15:45,533
No additional information
is available...
377
00:15:45,535 --> 00:15:47,569
Good news.
378
00:15:47,571 --> 00:15:49,504
I'm not the leak, either.
379
00:15:49,506 --> 00:15:51,139
Not the most bracing
interrogation
380
00:15:51,141 --> 00:15:52,841
I've experienced,
but I thought their technique
381
00:15:52,843 --> 00:15:54,042
was adequate. You?
382
00:15:54,044 --> 00:15:55,443
Sorry about the third degree,
383
00:15:55,445 --> 00:15:57,846
but you get
why it had to be done.
384
00:15:57,848 --> 00:15:59,280
New people, new leak.
385
00:15:59,282 --> 00:16:01,016
Your superiors have
reason to be panicked.
386
00:16:01,018 --> 00:16:03,118
I'm not sure whether the
media is more exercised
387
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,154
about the existence of a propaganda
program or the fact that it was
388
00:16:06,156 --> 00:16:08,256
insufficiently guarded.
I think DC's more concerned
389
00:16:08,258 --> 00:16:09,891
with how this affects
the manhunt.
390
00:16:09,893 --> 00:16:12,427
If Zheng wasn't
on the run before, he is now.
391
00:16:14,163 --> 00:16:15,490
I want to thank you both
for all your help.
392
00:16:15,514 --> 00:16:16,999
We just got cleared.
393
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,034
You're gonna cut us loose now?
I'm sorry.
394
00:16:19,036 --> 00:16:20,368
We're in crisis mode here.
395
00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:21,836
We're circling the wagons.
Perhaps you'd reconsider
396
00:16:21,838 --> 00:16:24,439
if I could tell you where
you'll likely find Dan Zheng.
397
00:16:24,441 --> 00:16:25,573
What do you mean?
398
00:16:25,575 --> 00:16:28,910
Well, my theory is admittedly
in its larval stage.
399
00:16:30,012 --> 00:16:31,746
Its development
is being hampered
400
00:16:31,748 --> 00:16:33,314
by a lack of access.
There's only so much
401
00:16:33,316 --> 00:16:35,817
to be gleaned by glimpsing
through a crack in a door.
402
00:16:35,819 --> 00:16:37,552
You give us just a moment
inside that room,
403
00:16:37,554 --> 00:16:39,854
and then tell us
whether we belong in your wagon.
404
00:16:39,856 --> 00:16:43,058
Well, as you can see,
there's a silver lining
405
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:45,226
to the leak--
11 million New Yorkers
406
00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:47,162
have become de facto
deputies in your search.
407
00:16:47,164 --> 00:16:48,930
And at least one
of their tips
408
00:16:48,932 --> 00:16:51,766
was legitimate-- Zheng was seen
at the World Trade Center.
409
00:16:51,768 --> 00:16:53,902
We have a mobile team rolling
at the World Trade Center?
410
00:16:53,904 --> 00:16:55,737
No pings yet, but we got
25 people canvassing.
411
00:16:55,739 --> 00:16:57,305
HOLMES:
I might suggest
412
00:16:57,307 --> 00:16:59,607
a more promising place
to trawl for your quarry.
413
00:16:59,609 --> 00:17:00,942
I'm reasonably sure
414
00:17:00,944 --> 00:17:03,011
that that satchel
Mr. Zheng is carrying
415
00:17:03,013 --> 00:17:05,580
is a drummer's bag--
it's meant for skins and sticks.
416
00:17:05,582 --> 00:17:06,581
There were some strange
417
00:17:06,583 --> 00:17:07,649
indentations in the carpet
418
00:17:07,651 --> 00:17:08,883
at Mr. Zheng's apartment.
419
00:17:08,885 --> 00:17:10,318
In light of the
noise complaint
420
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,686
that Watson found,
and now that bag...
421
00:17:11,688 --> 00:17:13,054
Um, well, they were
made by a drum kit.
422
00:17:13,056 --> 00:17:15,957
So what?
WATSON: So that noise complaint
423
00:17:15,959 --> 00:17:17,392
was over a year old.
Kit's gone,
424
00:17:17,394 --> 00:17:19,461
but he obviously still
has some of his gear.
425
00:17:19,463 --> 00:17:21,396
He's been playing
somewhere else.
426
00:17:21,398 --> 00:17:24,399
There are seven different
state and federal
427
00:17:24,401 --> 00:17:26,367
law enforcement agencies
hunting this guy,
428
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:30,138
and you think he was on his way
to practice his drumming?
429
00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:32,640
There's a subway station beneath
that building with access
430
00:17:32,642 --> 00:17:34,275
to the 1 train
and Columbus Circle,
431
00:17:34,277 --> 00:17:36,010
home to the Bernstein
Music Conservatory,
432
00:17:36,012 --> 00:17:37,746
being the densest concentration
of music rehearsal spaces
433
00:17:37,748 --> 00:17:39,514
in the city-- I could
think of worse places
434
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:41,416
to lie low.
435
00:17:41,418 --> 00:17:42,851
Let's pull a
team together.
436
00:17:42,853 --> 00:17:45,153
It's worth a shot.
437
00:17:45,155 --> 00:17:47,122
Did we earn our place?
438
00:17:48,491 --> 00:17:50,625
For now.
439
00:17:50,627 --> 00:17:52,327
Hey, we should
tell your father
440
00:17:52,329 --> 00:17:54,262
we're not gonna make it
to his office.
441
00:17:54,264 --> 00:17:56,064
Last time
I missed a meeting with him,
442
00:17:56,066 --> 00:17:58,166
it took years to get back on
the calendar, so you should go.
443
00:17:58,168 --> 00:17:59,768
On my own?
444
00:17:59,770 --> 00:18:01,402
Well, my absence might
be a good thing.
445
00:18:01,404 --> 00:18:03,404
I tend to be a distraction
when I'm around Father.
446
00:18:03,406 --> 00:18:06,341
I look forward
to your thoughts.
447
00:18:13,816 --> 00:18:15,483
Mr. Holmes?
448
00:18:15,485 --> 00:18:17,018
Miss Watson is here.
449
00:18:17,020 --> 00:18:18,653
Miss Watson.
450
00:18:18,655 --> 00:18:20,355
At long last.
451
00:18:21,824 --> 00:18:23,525
I assume Sherlock
won't be joining us.
452
00:18:23,527 --> 00:18:24,959
Yes, work intrudes.
453
00:18:24,961 --> 00:18:26,561
I'm sure you, of all people,
understand.
454
00:18:26,563 --> 00:18:30,165
Just as well. I wanted a chance
to get to know you myself.
455
00:18:30,167 --> 00:18:31,699
Please.
456
00:18:31,701 --> 00:18:34,602
I wish my business brought me
to New York more often.
457
00:18:34,604 --> 00:18:36,538
Yes, this is
a nice office
458
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:38,506
to never use.
459
00:18:38,508 --> 00:18:41,309
I gather my son told you
a bit about me.
460
00:18:41,311 --> 00:18:45,380
His opinions, his...
colorful renderings of our past.
461
00:18:45,382 --> 00:18:47,949
I know you two
don't get along.
462
00:18:47,951 --> 00:18:49,851
If you think that Sherlock
is the only one
463
00:18:49,853 --> 00:18:51,853
who considers me an enemy,
you'd be wrong.
464
00:18:51,855 --> 00:18:53,688
He doesn't consider you
an enemy.
465
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:55,423
An antagonist, then.
466
00:18:55,425 --> 00:18:57,725
No. I think he
just thinks...
467
00:18:57,727 --> 00:18:59,694
you're a terrible father.
468
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:06,501
I assume he explained my offer.
469
00:19:06,503 --> 00:19:08,670
He said that
you could get
470
00:19:08,672 --> 00:19:10,905
the NYPD to take us back.
He made it sound like
471
00:19:10,907 --> 00:19:12,707
you could just wave
a wand, or something.
472
00:19:12,709 --> 00:19:16,377
I wouldn't wave a wand,
I would pick up a phone.
473
00:19:16,379 --> 00:19:18,112
And what do you want in return?
474
00:19:18,114 --> 00:19:19,547
Nothing.
475
00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:22,684
You find that hard
to believe?
476
00:19:22,686 --> 00:19:24,619
I find it hard to believe
477
00:19:24,621 --> 00:19:26,575
that charity brought you
to a place like this.
478
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:28,489
Charity didn't.
479
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:30,491
Solving problems did.
480
00:19:30,493 --> 00:19:31,826
Mm.
481
00:19:31,828 --> 00:19:34,863
Is that what Sherlock and I are?
Problems?
482
00:19:35,664 --> 00:19:38,833
Heroin is a problem, Joan.
483
00:19:38,835 --> 00:19:41,402
You know that
better than most.
484
00:19:43,973 --> 00:19:46,574
When I hired you
to tend to my son,
485
00:19:46,576 --> 00:19:49,344
I had no idea
I was teeing up a partnership.
486
00:19:49,346 --> 00:19:51,346
Nor did I foresee
the benefits
487
00:19:51,348 --> 00:19:53,348
of working
with the American police.
488
00:19:53,350 --> 00:19:56,184
But it happened, it worked.
489
00:19:57,887 --> 00:19:59,687
I want it to work again.
490
00:20:01,490 --> 00:20:03,391
We got a bounce
in the computers here
491
00:20:03,393 --> 00:20:05,560
on the southwest corner
of this block.
492
00:20:05,562 --> 00:20:07,562
I want Marshall and Barrios
493
00:20:07,564 --> 00:20:09,030
to take the even floors.
494
00:20:09,032 --> 00:20:10,698
O'Neill, Singer,
you take the odds.
495
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,234
Now, you get any pushback,
anybody wants to see a warrant,
496
00:20:13,236 --> 00:20:14,602
you hit me on the radio,
497
00:20:14,604 --> 00:20:15,703
we'll line it up.
498
00:20:15,705 --> 00:20:17,105
No shortcuts.
499
00:20:17,107 --> 00:20:19,540
Okay? Let's go.
500
00:20:20,910 --> 00:20:23,278
(phone buzzing)
501
00:20:25,848 --> 00:20:27,682
I'm feeling a bit
vestigial at the moment.
502
00:20:27,684 --> 00:20:30,485
I'll, um... just be
in the coffee shop.
503
00:20:30,487 --> 00:20:32,387
BURKE:
Okay.
504
00:20:33,255 --> 00:20:34,555
Yeah, it's Burke.
505
00:20:34,557 --> 00:20:37,292
Yeah, they're
on their way in.
506
00:20:37,294 --> 00:20:39,294
Yeah,
I'll let you know.
507
00:20:39,296 --> 00:20:40,995
I will. Yeah.

The other things were too
far down in the Dumpster

That was in the trash?
I assume

Mr. Zheng put it there (phone buzzing)
after he copied
521
00:21:41,725 --> 00:21:43,424
the research and wiped
the surveillance footage
522

of the three murders
he committed.

00:21:45,528 --> 00:21:47,495
Yeah, it's Burke.
524
00:21:49,064 --> 00:21:50,832
You're kidding me.
525
00:21:50,834 --> 00:21:52,800
(clears throat)
526
00:21:52,802 --> 00:21:55,003
On my way.
527
00:21:56,605 --> 00:21:59,073
Dan Zheng just
turned himself in.
528
00:21:59,075 --> 00:22:01,976
Says he's innocent.
529
00:22:01,978 --> 00:22:04,078
It is beyond dispute
530
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,613
that my client
could not have authored
531
00:22:05,615 --> 00:22:07,448
the tragic events in Harlem.
532
00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:08,750
He was at the symphony
533
00:22:08,752 --> 00:22:10,351
here in Manhattan
when they occurred.
534
00:22:10,353 --> 00:22:12,086
And yet your news media
535
00:22:12,088 --> 00:22:14,455
has turned him into
an international pariah.
536
00:22:14,457 --> 00:22:16,457
No one has made the claim
that Mr. Zheng
537
00:22:16,459 --> 00:22:17,525
pulled the trigger
himself.
538
00:22:17,527 --> 00:22:18,926
The relevant fact remains
539
00:22:18,928 --> 00:22:20,461
his relationship to
one of the decedents.
540
00:22:20,463 --> 00:22:22,163
Mr. Zheng could've
called Dr. Sarkisian
541
00:22:22,165 --> 00:22:23,297
and induced her
to welcome an accomplice.
542
00:22:23,299 --> 00:22:24,599
Please, forgive
the interruption.
543
00:22:24,601 --> 00:22:26,134
We can't control
544
00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:27,335
what the press
has been writing.
545
00:22:27,337 --> 00:22:28,569
No, of course.
546
00:22:28,571 --> 00:22:29,771
It is a free country,
547
00:22:29,773 --> 00:22:31,305
as you are all
so fond of saying.
548
00:22:31,307 --> 00:22:33,941
And yet my client
falls under suspicion
549
00:22:33,943 --> 00:22:36,944
for having once dated
an unmarried woman.
550
00:22:36,946 --> 00:22:38,279
Are you at least going
to ask him how the computers
551
00:22:38,281 --> 00:22:39,614
came to be found
on the same block
552
00:22:39,616 --> 00:22:40,915
as rehearsal space
rented in his name?
553
00:22:40,917 --> 00:22:42,950
Every person in
this hemisphere
554
00:22:42,952 --> 00:22:44,986
knew Mr. Zheng
was your suspect.
555
00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:47,155
The culprit clearly
dumped the CPUs
556
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:48,756
in your path
to frame him
557
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:51,025
and, by extension, our country.
558
00:22:51,027 --> 00:22:52,593
You have nothing.
559
00:22:56,231 --> 00:22:57,532
Hey.
560
00:22:57,534 --> 00:22:58,733
What are you doing?
561
00:22:58,735 --> 00:23:00,735
Working.
562
00:23:00,737 --> 00:23:02,570
In my office?
563
00:23:02,572 --> 00:23:03,838
Technically,
it's my father's office.
564
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,339
Or did he sweeten
the offer today
565
00:23:05,341 --> 00:23:06,707
and throw in the brownstone?
566
00:23:06,709 --> 00:23:08,476
What did you think of him?
I don't know.
567
00:23:08,478 --> 00:23:10,945
I mean, in some ways he was
exactly what I was picturing.
568
00:23:10,947 --> 00:23:12,213
In some ways, he wasn't.
569
00:23:12,215 --> 00:23:13,281
Explain.
570
00:23:13,283 --> 00:23:15,183
No horns,
571
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:17,051
for one thing...
no pitchfork.
572
00:23:17,053 --> 00:23:19,720
And he seemed pretty sincere
about what he wanted for you.
573
00:23:19,722 --> 00:23:21,856
The most confounding part.
574
00:23:21,858 --> 00:23:23,791
I mean, I'm still
thinking it over,
575
00:23:23,793 --> 00:23:25,126
but...
576
00:23:25,128 --> 00:23:26,494
I didn't get the impression
577
00:23:26,496 --> 00:23:28,196
we need to rush
into any decisions.
578
00:23:28,198 --> 00:23:30,865
Nor should we. Not at such
a critical moment in our case.
579
00:23:30,867 --> 00:23:32,400
I thought we got benched.
580
00:23:32,402 --> 00:23:33,601
What is all this?
581
00:23:33,603 --> 00:23:34,802
Well, that depends.
582
00:23:34,804 --> 00:23:36,170
On...?
583
00:23:36,172 --> 00:23:38,239
On how you feel
about being made
584
00:23:38,241 --> 00:23:40,174
an accessory
after the fact.
585
00:23:40,176 --> 00:23:42,743
When I found the
stolen computers today,
586
00:23:42,745 --> 00:23:44,679
I had a moment alone, so...
587
00:23:44,681 --> 00:23:46,914
I sent myself copies of
Dr. Sarkisian's data--
588
00:23:46,916 --> 00:23:48,716
correspondence,
notes, etcetera.
589
00:23:48,718 --> 00:23:51,085
That is extremely illegal.
590
00:23:51,087 --> 00:23:52,720
But entirely prudent.
591
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:54,655
Who knows how long
it's gonna take the FBI
592
00:23:54,657 --> 00:23:56,524
to draw all
the proper inferences
593
00:23:56,526 --> 00:23:58,259
and realize that China
is owed an apology?
594
00:23:58,261 --> 00:23:59,794
What are you talking about?
595
00:24:03,132 --> 00:24:05,433
Are you able to detect
596
00:24:05,435 --> 00:24:08,936
a difference
between these two?
597
00:24:10,772 --> 00:24:12,907
No.
598
00:24:12,909 --> 00:24:15,109
I mean, it's been a while
since my neurology rotation.
599
00:24:15,111 --> 00:24:17,311
Should I?
Another test of your ability
600
00:24:17,313 --> 00:24:19,847
to compare and contrast.
601
00:24:23,785 --> 00:24:26,954
Are they the same
or different?
602
00:24:27,856 --> 00:24:29,590
They're identical.
603
00:24:29,592 --> 00:24:31,893
Yes. Except
in one key respect--
604
00:24:31,895 --> 00:24:34,262
the dates at which
they were administered.
605
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:35,963
They are
before-and-after surveys
606
00:24:35,965 --> 00:24:37,665
from Sarkisian
607
00:24:37,667 --> 00:24:38,799
and Weller's experiments.
608
00:24:38,801 --> 00:24:40,268
They were beta-testing
their algorithm.
609
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:42,637
Volunteer subjects were
put through a battery
610
00:24:42,639 --> 00:24:45,940
of brainwashing protocols,
and none of them worked,
611
00:24:45,942 --> 00:24:47,542
at all.
612
00:24:47,544 --> 00:24:49,944
So this guy was especially
resistant to propaganda?
613
00:24:49,946 --> 00:24:52,013
They all were.
Hundreds of grad students
614
00:24:52,015 --> 00:24:53,981
signed up to be guinea pigs.
615
00:24:53,983 --> 00:24:55,616
DARPA's proprietary algorithm,
616
00:24:55,618 --> 00:24:57,351
meant to change
hearts and minds,
617
00:24:57,353 --> 00:24:58,986
couldn't nudge anyone
618
00:24:58,988 --> 00:25:01,055
from "mildly supporting"
to "mildly opposing"
619
00:25:01,057 --> 00:25:02,957
even the most milquetoast
of policies.
620
00:25:02,959 --> 00:25:05,259
Retiring the penny, for example.
621
00:25:05,261 --> 00:25:07,895
That's some
pretty bad propaganda.
622
00:25:07,897 --> 00:25:09,931
Dr. Sarkisian
admitted as much herself.
623
00:25:09,933 --> 00:25:12,300
She wrote an e-mail
to her partner
624
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:14,101
stating her intent to withdraw
625
00:25:14,103 --> 00:25:16,137
a grant proposal
for further funding.
626
00:25:16,139 --> 00:25:17,738
And Weller concurred.
627
00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:19,707
"Our current understanding
of neurological processes
628
00:25:19,709 --> 00:25:22,243
"is simply not sufficient
to design a system
629
00:25:22,245 --> 00:25:24,812
by which those processes can be
effectively manipulated."
630
00:25:24,814 --> 00:25:26,414
If Dan Zheng
631
00:25:26,416 --> 00:25:29,550
is to be believed-- and I think
at this point he is--
632
00:25:29,552 --> 00:25:31,953
his last assignation
with Gail Sarkisian
633
00:25:31,955 --> 00:25:34,622
was the same day
this e-mail was sent.
634
00:25:34,624 --> 00:25:35,957
So you think she told him
that her program
635
00:25:35,959 --> 00:25:37,458
was a dud,
and he lost interest.
636
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:39,460
He learned what
he had been sent to learn
637
00:25:39,462 --> 00:25:41,362
and then reported back
to the PRC government
638
00:25:41,364 --> 00:25:44,298
that they had nothing to gain--
and nothing to fear--
639
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:46,334
from an American
propaganda program.
640
00:25:47,202 --> 00:25:49,203
So the Chinese didn't do it.
641
00:25:49,205 --> 00:25:50,705
Worse than that, Watson.
642
00:25:50,707 --> 00:25:52,940
I think three people
died for nothing.
643
00:26:01,172 --> 00:26:02,806
I think we have
to tell the FBI.
644
00:26:02,808 --> 00:26:06,477
Tell them what? That I stole
some top secret research?
645
00:26:06,479 --> 00:26:09,313
Or that we have eliminated
one billion Chinese suspects
646
00:26:09,315 --> 00:26:12,182
in favor of one
neo-reactionary monarchist?
647
00:26:12,184 --> 00:26:15,052
I wouldn't phrase it
exactly like that, no.
648
00:26:15,054 --> 00:26:17,554
But Maurice Antonov has
two really good motives.
649
00:26:17,556 --> 00:26:20,024
Only one of which we're
adequately prepared to present.
650
00:26:20,026 --> 00:26:22,326
So why not just go with that?
651
00:26:22,328 --> 00:26:24,828
The guy divorced Gail Sarkisian
six months ago.
652
00:26:24,830 --> 00:26:27,765
Ex-husband hates ex-wife--
kills her, kills the witnesses.
653
00:26:27,767 --> 00:26:29,333
Stealing the computers
may have just been
654
00:26:29,335 --> 00:26:31,201
a way to throw everyone
off the scent.
655
00:26:31,203 --> 00:26:33,370
I'd rather not present
a theory of the crime
656
00:26:33,372 --> 00:26:36,206
I do not believe.
Simple stories sell.
657
00:26:36,208 --> 00:26:37,808
You've been reading
too much propaganda theory.
658
00:26:37,810 --> 00:26:39,677
I do not wish
to bamboozle the FBI
659
00:26:39,679 --> 00:26:42,112
into pursuing Mr. Antonov--
I want to question him myself.
660
00:26:42,114 --> 00:26:44,214
And if he fits,
present a complete thesis
661
00:26:44,216 --> 00:26:45,849
of his true motive.
662
00:26:45,851 --> 00:26:47,251
This is a man
663
00:26:47,253 --> 00:26:49,153
who blogs as Henry IX,
664
00:26:49,155 --> 00:26:50,688
who advocates
for the restoration
665
00:26:50,690 --> 00:26:53,357
of a Tudor-style monarchy
in the 21st century.
666
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,059
Yeah, but being a kook
667
00:26:55,061 --> 00:26:57,394
doesn't make him less likely
to be a killer.
668
00:26:57,396 --> 00:26:59,496
My point
is that if Antonov did do it,
669
00:26:59,498 --> 00:27:01,899
it might not be because
he grew to hate his ex-wife,
670
00:27:01,901 --> 00:27:04,735
but because he was
still in love with her work.
671
00:27:06,404 --> 00:27:09,306
Sarkisian's earliest experiments
were designed
672
00:27:09,308 --> 00:27:12,242
to push her subjects
towards neo-fascist beliefs
673
00:27:12,244 --> 00:27:14,912
about the failings
of democracy,
674
00:27:14,914 --> 00:27:17,047
a protocol Antonov suggested.
675
00:27:17,049 --> 00:27:19,183
I submit that he hoped
his wife's software
676
00:27:19,185 --> 00:27:21,285
could sell his ideas
to the masses.
677
00:27:21,287 --> 00:27:24,521
Yeah, but we don't know if he
still thought that was possible,
678
00:27:24,523 --> 00:27:26,656
or if he knew the propaganda
algorithm was a failure.
679
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,392
Precisely.
680
00:27:27,393 --> 00:27:30,594
It should be a simple enough
question to ask the man.
681
00:27:30,596 --> 00:27:32,963
MAN:
Congratulations.
682
00:27:32,965 --> 00:27:35,499
I-I didn't realize
I had dropped enough clues
683
00:27:35,501 --> 00:27:37,334
for anybody to find me.
684
00:27:37,336 --> 00:27:39,837
But you are
the first of my followers
685
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:42,573
to uncover my identity.
686
00:27:42,575 --> 00:27:44,942
Why are you anonymous,
Mr. Antonov?
687
00:27:44,944 --> 00:27:48,312
Won't it be more difficult to hasten
the demise of the American imperium
688
00:27:48,314 --> 00:27:50,147
from behind a pseudonym?
Ah-ah, let's be clear.
689
00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:53,217
I never suggested
that I become king,
690
00:27:53,219 --> 00:27:56,153
only that someone should.
691
00:27:56,155 --> 00:27:57,888
It's an opinion that is...
692
00:27:57,890 --> 00:28:00,824
not very socially acceptable
at the moment.
693
00:28:00,826 --> 00:28:02,993
One day. (chuckles)
694
00:28:02,995 --> 00:28:04,661
Well, how are you
in such high spirits
695
00:28:04,663 --> 00:28:07,097
with modernity and progressivism
eroding the natural order?
696
00:28:07,099 --> 00:28:09,433
Do you have some
fresh reason for optimism?
697
00:28:09,435 --> 00:28:11,335
Of course.
698
00:28:11,337 --> 00:28:13,037
The two of you.
699
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:15,406
The truth draws
talented people
700
00:28:15,408 --> 00:28:18,442
like moths to a flame,
more every day.
701
00:28:18,444 --> 00:28:20,010
Acolytes.
702
00:28:20,012 --> 00:28:21,712
Is that what you'd call us?
703
00:28:21,714 --> 00:28:24,314
You're... kindred spirits.
704
00:28:24,316 --> 00:28:26,683
I mean, I'm sure
you know your Plato.
705
00:28:26,685 --> 00:28:28,285
"There will be no end
706
00:28:28,287 --> 00:28:32,222
"to the troubles of humanity
until philosophers
707
00:28:32,224 --> 00:28:33,059
become kings."
708
00:28:33,083 --> 00:28:35,563
Actually, we're not acolytes,
we're detectives.
709
00:28:37,028 --> 00:28:38,595
And I'm with Churchill,
I'm afraid.
710
00:28:38,597 --> 00:28:40,697
"Democracy is the worst form
of government,
711
00:28:40,699 --> 00:28:42,433
except for all the others."
712
00:28:42,435 --> 00:28:44,168
WATSON: We were wondering
where you were
713
00:28:44,170 --> 00:28:46,537
three nights ago,
around 9:00 p.m.
714
00:28:47,772 --> 00:28:50,507
This is about what happened
in Gail's lab.
715
00:28:50,509 --> 00:28:52,476
There's evidence that suggests
716
00:28:52,478 --> 00:28:54,578
that you wanted
to use her algorithm
717
00:28:54,580 --> 00:28:56,180
to push your ideas online.
718
00:28:57,215 --> 00:28:59,516
I was here.
719
00:28:59,518 --> 00:29:02,786
I was hosting a seminar
on Thomas Carlyle.
720
00:29:02,788 --> 00:29:07,024
It started at 7:00
and ended at 10:00.
721
00:29:07,026 --> 00:29:10,761
There are over a dozen witnesses
who will vouch for me.
722
00:29:12,831 --> 00:29:14,832
You know something,
Mr. Antonov.
723
00:29:14,834 --> 00:29:19,169
And why would I help a tool
of a bloated and dying empire?
724
00:29:19,171 --> 00:29:21,972
Because you don't wish to be
doxxed as a public servant?
725
00:29:21,974 --> 00:29:23,841
I mean, what would
your followers think
726
00:29:23,843 --> 00:29:26,610
if they realized you suckled
at government's teat?
727
00:29:28,546 --> 00:29:32,149
Look, you have the wrong idea.
728
00:29:32,151 --> 00:29:35,419
No one would have killed Gail
for that algorithm.
729
00:29:36,287 --> 00:29:38,222
It didn't work.
730
00:29:38,224 --> 00:29:40,491
And you know that how?
Well...
731
00:29:40,493 --> 00:29:43,994
she never changed
her password.
732
00:29:43,996 --> 00:29:46,964
I would... check
on her sometimes.
733
00:29:46,966 --> 00:29:50,567
We had 11 good years,
and I missed her.
734
00:29:53,037 --> 00:29:57,341
(sighs) Gail was disappointed
with the program, obviously,
735
00:29:57,343 --> 00:30:00,244
but... well,
she was nervous, too.
736
00:30:00,246 --> 00:30:03,413
She wasn't sure at all
how her patron would take it.
737
00:30:03,415 --> 00:30:05,549
What patron?
738
00:30:05,551 --> 00:30:07,618
A man named Samuel Meher.
739
00:30:07,620 --> 00:30:09,253
He works at DARPA.
740
00:30:09,255 --> 00:30:11,221
He... put his neck on the line
741
00:30:11,223 --> 00:30:12,923
to fund the
whole project.
742
00:30:12,925 --> 00:30:15,092
He was very intense.
743
00:30:15,094 --> 00:30:19,062
I didn't like the way
he talked to her in e-mails.
744
00:30:19,064 --> 00:30:20,764
I would have
said something...
745
00:30:20,766 --> 00:30:24,601
If it hadn't meant admitting
to cyber-stalking your ex.
746
00:30:24,603 --> 00:30:27,804
I never would have hurt her.
747
00:30:28,540 --> 00:30:29,873
HOLMES:
Yeah.
748
00:30:29,875 --> 00:30:31,375
Good luck overthrowing
the government.
749
00:30:31,377 --> 00:30:32,943
Don't put us against the wall
750
00:30:32,945 --> 00:30:35,145
when you get those
firing squads going, will you?
751
00:30:37,448 --> 00:30:39,850
You buy Meher
as a suspect?
752
00:30:39,852 --> 00:30:41,818
Well, he's ex-military;
he's capable.
753
00:30:41,820 --> 00:30:43,820
It's worth checking
Sarkisian's e-mails
754
00:30:43,822 --> 00:30:45,789
for his intimidating comments.
755
00:30:45,791 --> 00:30:48,125
Would you mind running
his name at the FBI?
756
00:30:48,127 --> 00:30:50,060
And if they ask
why I'm looking?
757
00:30:50,062 --> 00:30:52,129
Oh, tell them it was ordained
by the architect
758
00:30:52,131 --> 00:30:53,830
of a techno-feudal monarchy.
759
00:30:56,768 --> 00:30:59,469
Are you looking
into Samuel Meher?
760
00:31:00,371 --> 00:31:02,239
Oh, you get copied
on my searches?
761
00:31:02,241 --> 00:31:04,241
All guest log-ins
are monitored.
762
00:31:04,243 --> 00:31:06,543
Got to be able to account
for your activity.
763
00:31:06,545 --> 00:31:08,545
I didn't...
I didn't even know
764
00:31:08,547 --> 00:31:10,380
you were coming
into the office today.
765
00:31:10,382 --> 00:31:11,782
So... what's up?
766
00:31:11,784 --> 00:31:13,517
Well, Sarkisian and Weller
reported to Meher.
767
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:15,285
He was their champion.
768
00:31:15,287 --> 00:31:18,155
I just wanted to make sure
their relationship was a good one.
769
00:31:18,157 --> 00:31:19,823
And what about this stuff?
770
00:31:19,825 --> 00:31:22,025
Sonic-pressure shields.
771
00:31:22,827 --> 00:31:25,128
Robotic dogs.
772
00:31:25,130 --> 00:31:26,964
Nanotechnology.
Yeah, these are other projects
773
00:31:26,966 --> 00:31:28,966
that Weller
was administering funding for,
774
00:31:28,968 --> 00:31:31,034
for the same lab that got hit.
775
00:31:31,036 --> 00:31:33,637
I was just wondering
who else had access.
776
00:31:33,639 --> 00:31:36,340
Just keep me in the loop
next time, okay?
777
00:31:36,342 --> 00:31:38,842
Sure.
778
00:31:38,844 --> 00:31:41,511
What's a mansion
got to do with Meher?
779
00:31:41,513 --> 00:31:43,714
Oh, this is something else
for another case.
780
00:31:44,916 --> 00:31:47,384
Well, I know
what consultants make, Joan,
781
00:31:47,386 --> 00:31:49,686
so if you're looking
for a new place,
782
00:31:49,688 --> 00:31:52,222
might want to lower your aim.
783
00:31:57,428 --> 00:31:58,428
(teakettle whistling)
784
00:31:58,430 --> 00:31:59,997
(door closes)
785
00:31:59,999 --> 00:32:02,366
How did you fare
at the FBI?
786
00:32:02,368 --> 00:32:03,900
(sighs) Not well.
787
00:32:03,902 --> 00:32:06,370
I did not find anything
in Samuel Meher's background
788
00:32:06,372 --> 00:32:08,772
that would suggest
he would kill three people
789
00:32:08,774 --> 00:32:12,209
to cover up a botched project.
Mm. Well, I'm hardly surprised.
790
00:32:12,211 --> 00:32:14,344
I'm beginning to sour on him
as a suspect myself.
791
00:32:14,346 --> 00:32:16,613
Why is that?
792
00:32:16,615 --> 00:32:18,348
Well, aside from the victims...
793
00:32:18,350 --> 00:32:20,884
no one suffered
a worse result from the crime.
794
00:32:20,886 --> 00:32:23,887
I'm sure Mr. Meher
would reject the old adage
795
00:32:23,889 --> 00:32:27,124
that there's no such thing
as bad publicity, hmm?
796
00:32:31,296 --> 00:32:34,531
So, a secret brainwashing
program that everyone thinks
797
00:32:34,533 --> 00:32:37,367
has fallen into the hands
of the Chinese.
798
00:32:37,369 --> 00:32:40,937
I'd say this qualifies
as a PR nightmare.
799
00:32:42,740 --> 00:32:45,042
Is that Tienchi Flower tea?
800
00:32:45,044 --> 00:32:47,244
Mm. It was on my mind today.
801
00:32:47,246 --> 00:32:49,112
Amongst other things.
802
00:32:50,882 --> 00:32:53,984
I've decided to take Father up
on his offer.
803
00:32:55,386 --> 00:32:57,087
I don't think
he's entirely correct
804
00:32:57,089 --> 00:33:00,090
that the department is essential
to my "support system."
805
00:33:00,092 --> 00:33:04,227
Our work certainly hasn't been
a boon to my well-being of late.
806
00:33:04,229 --> 00:33:06,963
But there are
other considerations.
807
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:11,568
I believe
it would make me happy.
808
00:33:11,570 --> 00:33:14,271
That matters.
809
00:33:14,273 --> 00:33:16,940
You're not worried
about the cost?
810
00:33:16,942 --> 00:33:19,443
One could argue
it was paid long ago.
811
00:33:19,445 --> 00:33:21,211
What does that mean?
812
00:33:21,213 --> 00:33:23,213
If I've learned one thing
over the last
813
00:33:23,215 --> 00:33:26,416
couple of years, it's the
importance of making amends.
814
00:33:26,418 --> 00:33:28,652
Sometimes they should
also be accepted.
815
00:33:30,755 --> 00:33:33,056
Well, if it's
all right with you,
816
00:33:33,058 --> 00:33:35,325
I think I need
a little more time.
817
00:33:35,327 --> 00:33:37,494
Of course.
818
00:33:46,604 --> 00:33:49,139
Two op-eds calling for
Samuel Meher's dismissal.
819
00:33:49,141 --> 00:33:50,941
If he was behind the murders
820
00:33:50,943 --> 00:33:53,176
it was the ultimate act
of self-sabotage.
821
00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:57,981
You know, just because
an algorithm
822
00:33:57,983 --> 00:33:59,616
can't sway public opinion,
doesn't mean
823
00:33:59,618 --> 00:34:01,485
a good, old-fashioned
scandal can't.
824
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,154
Maybe we should look for someone
825
00:34:04,156 --> 00:34:06,790
who did benefit from all this.
826
00:34:06,792 --> 00:34:10,227
When we get back, let's send
those specs over to Gilchrist.
827
00:34:10,229 --> 00:34:13,663
I've... uh... just...
828
00:34:13,665 --> 00:34:14,965
Hi.
829
00:34:14,967 --> 00:34:16,800
You're the
consultants, right?
830
00:34:16,802 --> 00:34:18,702
The ones working
with Agent Burke?
831
00:34:18,704 --> 00:34:19,970
Samuel Meher
said that you were back
832
00:34:19,972 --> 00:34:21,405
in town to meet
with Senator Shapiro.
833
00:34:21,407 --> 00:34:23,740
That's right.
HOLMES: I imagine you'll be
834
00:34:23,742 --> 00:34:25,142
meeting with every member
of the Armed Services Committee
835
00:34:25,144 --> 00:34:28,578
that approves
presidential appointees.
836
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:30,680
Now the head of your agency
is retiring.
837
00:34:30,682 --> 00:34:32,983
Now that Mr. Meher's career
is in the tank,
838
00:34:32,985 --> 00:34:34,851
you're the heir apparent.
839
00:34:34,853 --> 00:34:36,386
It's a possibility.
840
00:34:36,388 --> 00:34:38,655
It's-it's also, uh, motive.
841
00:34:38,657 --> 00:34:41,892
Three murders, theft of some
top secret research...
842
00:34:41,894 --> 00:34:44,094
I mean, it's a big move,
but you would need one
843
00:34:44,096 --> 00:34:46,129
to leapfrog Meher
on the org chart.
844
00:34:46,131 --> 00:34:48,932
In a few months you're going
to be controlling the strings
845
00:34:48,934 --> 00:34:51,334
to DARPA's $2.8 billion budget.
846
00:34:51,336 --> 00:34:53,637
I don't have a clue
what you're talking about.
847
00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:55,939
"Dan Zheng,
a suspect first identified
848
00:34:55,941 --> 00:34:58,341
by the New Jersey
Dispatch."
849
00:34:58,343 --> 00:35:00,911
Now, they don't break a lot
of national news in Trenton,
850
00:35:00,913 --> 00:35:02,379
but this was the paper
851
00:35:02,381 --> 00:35:03,847
you trusted your
scoop with because
852
00:35:03,849 --> 00:35:06,450
you went to college
with their managing editor.
853
00:35:06,452 --> 00:35:08,018
Given the First and Fifth
Amendments, it's unlikely
854
00:35:08,020 --> 00:35:09,219
that you would ever be outed
855
00:35:09,221 --> 00:35:10,687
as the source
of the leak,
856
00:35:10,689 --> 00:35:12,556
but who else makes sense?
857
00:35:12,558 --> 00:35:14,357
You didn't know
anything about Dan Zheng
858
00:35:14,359 --> 00:35:15,892
when you committed
the murders.
859
00:35:15,894 --> 00:35:18,361
But when he became a suspect,
you took advantage.
860
00:35:18,363 --> 00:35:20,096
You heard the FBI was
gonna be looking for him
861
00:35:20,098 --> 00:35:21,665
around Columbus Circle,
862
00:35:21,667 --> 00:35:24,201
so you dumped the stolen
computers right in their path.
863
00:35:24,203 --> 00:35:26,136
So I'm not
just the leak, then.
864
00:35:26,138 --> 00:35:28,338
I drove up from DC
in the dead of night
865
00:35:28,340 --> 00:35:30,874
and killed three people,
like some kind of super spy?
866
00:35:30,876 --> 00:35:32,142
No. You had an accomplice.
867
00:35:32,144 --> 00:35:33,877
It was her.
(chuckles)
868
00:35:33,879 --> 00:35:35,612
I'll tell you what.
869
00:35:35,614 --> 00:35:39,049
Uh, you can look anywhere
you want for my accomplice.
870
00:35:39,051 --> 00:35:40,817
I'll turn over
my phone records, my e-mail,
871
00:35:40,819 --> 00:35:42,452
my bank statements--
anything you want.
872
00:35:42,454 --> 00:35:44,020
It's all gonna be picked through
when I get
873
00:35:44,022 --> 00:35:45,422
confirmed to run the agency,
anyway.
874
00:35:45,424 --> 00:35:46,790
You can be the first to vet me.
875
00:35:59,525 --> 00:36:00,792
(sighs) Well, that's it.
876
00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:02,133
That's the last of it.
877
00:36:02,611 --> 00:36:04,344
Every piece
of personal correspondence
878
00:36:04,346 --> 00:36:05,779
and financial data.
879
00:36:05,781 --> 00:36:07,180
Every last phone
record and e-mail that
880
00:36:07,182 --> 00:36:08,715
Alta Von See surrendered
to the FBI.
881
00:36:08,717 --> 00:36:10,784
I have examined
882
00:36:10,786 --> 00:36:13,420
all of it and I have not been
able to discover her accomplice
883
00:36:13,422 --> 00:36:16,656
or even the slightest whiff of impropriety.
Ugh. So that
884
00:36:16,658 --> 00:36:18,792
rancid smell
isn't impropriety?
885
00:36:18,794 --> 00:36:20,493
It's hákarl.
886
00:36:20,495 --> 00:36:22,862
Fermented Icelandic shark meat.
887
00:36:22,864 --> 00:36:24,330
Brain food. It's...
888
00:36:24,332 --> 00:36:25,765
a shock to the senses.
889
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:27,867
I thawed some out
after you fell asleep.
890
00:36:27,869 --> 00:36:29,836
I needed something to...
891
00:36:29,838 --> 00:36:32,038
dredge us out of this funk.
892
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,175
That stuff is contributing
to the funk, trust me.
893
00:36:35,177 --> 00:36:37,510
Oh, come on.
894
00:36:37,512 --> 00:36:39,012
Burke was clear about
returning the evidence
895
00:36:39,014 --> 00:36:40,780
in the same condition
we got it in.
896
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:43,716
Yes, heaven forfend
that the law enforcement unit
897
00:36:43,718 --> 00:36:45,285
designated Burke, Agent Gary
898
00:36:45,287 --> 00:36:46,953
would get
his papers back stained.
899
00:36:46,955 --> 00:36:49,789
His operating system
might shut down.
900
00:36:49,791 --> 00:36:51,758
The FBI aren't robots.
901
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,526
You're just upset
because we got a lecture
902
00:36:53,528 --> 00:36:56,229
for talking to Alta Von See
without him.
903
00:36:56,231 --> 00:36:57,464
You sure he's not a machine
904
00:36:57,466 --> 00:36:59,065
programmed to follow
Bureau protocol?
905
00:36:59,067 --> 00:37:01,334
I'm sure DARPA has one
in the works, along with
906
00:37:01,336 --> 00:37:03,369
a panoply of mechanical dogs,
907
00:37:03,371 --> 00:37:04,904
sonic pressure shields,
908
00:37:04,906 --> 00:37:07,540
cargo transport blimp...
909
00:37:08,742 --> 00:37:10,910
What is it?
910
00:37:14,582 --> 00:37:17,517
I think I may have discovered
Alta Von See's accomplice.
911
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:18,985
There's only way
to know for sure.
912
00:37:18,987 --> 00:37:21,087
When is the last time
you dissected a rat?
913
00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:24,791
Alta, you are not
a swift woman,
914
00:37:24,793 --> 00:37:26,659
you are not
fleet of foot.
915
00:37:26,661 --> 00:37:29,796
I'll admit I did not think
you capable of this crime.
916
00:37:29,798 --> 00:37:31,364
I should not have
discriminated.
917
00:37:31,366 --> 00:37:32,632
You are very clever.
918
00:37:32,634 --> 00:37:34,534
We did you a favor
coming all the way
919
00:37:34,536 --> 00:37:36,669
out here for whatever
the hell this is.
920
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:39,672
You're not gonna let this man
insult my client.
921
00:37:39,674 --> 00:37:42,509
Clever is a compliment,
counselor.
922
00:37:42,511 --> 00:37:44,177
You want insults, just wait.
923
00:37:44,179 --> 00:37:47,013
You'll be hearing
"triple murderer" in a minute.
924
00:37:47,015 --> 00:37:49,082
That is what I'm implying,
Ms. Von See.
925
00:37:49,084 --> 00:37:50,383
That without
any particular skill
926
00:37:50,385 --> 00:37:52,085
or training with firearms,
927
00:37:52,087 --> 00:37:53,786
you were able to create
a bloodbath here
928
00:37:53,788 --> 00:37:55,722
that would look like
the work of a professional.
929
00:37:55,724 --> 00:37:57,390
You did this yourself.
930
00:37:57,392 --> 00:38:00,260
I know you said there'd be
no reason for me to talk,
931
00:38:00,262 --> 00:38:03,196
but do you mind if I say that's insane?
You seemed awfully bold,
932
00:38:03,198 --> 00:38:05,498
volunteering all of your bank
and phone records.
933
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:06,766
We assumed
we'd find the person
934
00:38:06,768 --> 00:38:08,201
who helped you
execute your plan.
935
00:38:08,203 --> 00:38:10,370
HOLMES: Not to mention
three innocent people.
936
00:38:10,372 --> 00:38:13,940
The problem was we were looking
for a person, not a device.
937
00:38:20,548 --> 00:38:21,781
What is that?
938
00:38:21,783 --> 00:38:24,250
Do you want to explain
or shall I?
939
00:38:25,286 --> 00:38:28,688
This is a sonic pressure shield.
940
00:38:28,690 --> 00:38:30,790
It is a truly ingenious--
albeit fascist--
941
00:38:30,792 --> 00:38:32,892
piece of technology.
942
00:38:32,894 --> 00:38:35,195
The DARPA-funded scientists
across the hall
943
00:38:35,197 --> 00:38:37,397
have been developing it
as a crowd-control device.
944
00:38:37,399 --> 00:38:40,700
It emits a direct blast
of low-range
945
00:38:40,702 --> 00:38:44,304
sonic waves which vibrate at the
same frequency as lung tissue.
946
00:38:44,306 --> 00:38:45,538
would you like a demonstration?
947
00:38:45,540 --> 00:38:47,140
WATSON:
The idea is for police
948
00:38:47,142 --> 00:38:49,375
to use it on unruly protesters.
949
00:38:49,377 --> 00:38:51,644
To disrupt their breathing
and incapacitate them.
950
00:38:51,646 --> 00:38:53,079
You used it to turn
951
00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:55,215
Gail Sarkisian, Frank Weller
and Ollie Tate
952
00:38:55,217 --> 00:38:57,650
into sitting ducks.
By the time you entered the room,
953
00:38:57,652 --> 00:38:58,851
your targets were essentially
954
00:38:58,853 --> 00:39:00,320
out on their feet, suffocating.
955
00:39:00,322 --> 00:39:02,455
You could approach them
at your own speed
956
00:39:02,457 --> 00:39:04,457
and then shoot them,
point blank, without risk
957
00:39:04,459 --> 00:39:06,626
of being overpowered.
This is crazy.
958
00:39:06,628 --> 00:39:08,895
You don't have any proof.
WATSON: Actually, that's not true.
959
00:39:08,897 --> 00:39:10,930
The shield's power
may be invisible,
960
00:39:10,932 --> 00:39:12,065
but its effects
are not.
961
00:39:12,067 --> 00:39:13,833
You shot your
three victims
962
00:39:13,835 --> 00:39:16,269
before their lungs
could be damaged badly enough
963
00:39:16,271 --> 00:39:19,005
to show up in an autopsy.
But there was a fourth victim.
964
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:22,308
Frank Weller's pet lab rat.
965
00:39:26,914 --> 00:39:29,349
As you can see,
the otherwise healthy rodent
966
00:39:29,351 --> 00:39:30,984
has perished from asphyxiation.
967
00:39:30,986 --> 00:39:32,652
I personally don't know
what I'm looking at
968
00:39:32,654 --> 00:39:36,022
but even if I did, who's to say
Ms. Von See did this?
969
00:39:36,024 --> 00:39:37,590
I'll say it.
970
00:39:37,592 --> 00:39:40,560
We found traces of blood
at the bottom of the shield,
971
00:39:40,562 --> 00:39:41,995
so we know it was used.
972
00:39:41,997 --> 00:39:44,264
And there was an odd streak
on the baseboard
973
00:39:44,266 --> 00:39:45,898
in the closet across the hall,
974
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:48,001
where the shield
is stored.
975
00:39:48,003 --> 00:39:51,170
Black rubber.
976
00:39:51,172 --> 00:39:52,572
This...
977
00:39:52,574 --> 00:39:55,408
compels you to hand
over your crutch,
978
00:39:55,410 --> 00:39:58,144
so we can test the rubber tip
for a match.
979
00:39:58,146 --> 00:39:59,946
If it does...
Good luck explaining
980
00:39:59,948 --> 00:40:02,448
why you were locked in a closet
with a bloody murder weapon.
981
00:40:02,450 --> 00:40:05,285
You know, it could be worse.
Imagine how embarrassing
982
00:40:05,287 --> 00:40:06,619
this would all be
if it had come out
983
00:40:06,621 --> 00:40:07,901
during your confirmation
hearing.
984
00:40:10,658 --> 00:40:11,824
(tapping on glass door)
985
00:40:11,826 --> 00:40:13,493
ASSISTANT:
Sorry to interrupt.
986
00:40:13,495 --> 00:40:14,894
Ms. Watson is here to see you.
987
00:40:14,896 --> 00:40:16,095
She wasn't on the schedule.
988
00:40:16,097 --> 00:40:17,497
It's all right, Jessica.
989
00:40:17,499 --> 00:40:19,866
Please take a seat.
990
00:40:19,868 --> 00:40:21,534
I'm fine, thank you.
991
00:40:21,536 --> 00:40:24,170
Did you misplace my number?
992
00:40:24,172 --> 00:40:26,172
Some things are better
to discuss in person.
993
00:40:26,174 --> 00:40:28,708
Like violating
campaign finance laws,
994
00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:32,045
bribing elected officials,
that sort of thing.
995
00:40:32,047 --> 00:40:33,913
Sherlock didn't say much
about you over the years,
996
00:40:33,915 --> 00:40:35,248
but he said enough.
997
00:40:35,250 --> 00:40:36,883
I didn't think
I should trust you.
998
00:40:36,885 --> 00:40:39,752
So I didn't.
999
00:40:39,754 --> 00:40:42,388
I think you'll recognize this.
1000
00:40:44,758 --> 00:40:46,392
It's a small estate
1001
00:40:46,394 --> 00:40:48,761
in Southampton I used to own.
1002
00:40:48,763 --> 00:40:50,630
Up until very recently.
1003
00:40:50,632 --> 00:40:52,598
You sold it a few days
after Sherlock relapsed.
1004
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:53,900
That's right.
1005
00:40:53,902 --> 00:40:55,168
The price jumped out a me.
1006
00:40:55,170 --> 00:40:57,770
Three million
below market value.
1007
00:40:57,772 --> 00:41:00,506
It's not
a great deal for you.
1008
00:41:00,508 --> 00:41:03,242
I don't know that
it's as bad as you think.
1009
00:41:03,244 --> 00:41:05,678
No. Probably not.
1010
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,847
Not when you consider
that same lucky home buyer
1011
00:41:07,849 --> 00:41:09,515
did you a big favor.
1012
00:41:09,517 --> 00:41:12,285
He funded a super PAC that
supports the district attorney.
1013
00:41:12,287 --> 00:41:15,154
And just like that,
Sherlock is no longer
1014
00:41:15,156 --> 00:41:18,091
facing criminal charges
against Oscar Rankin.
1015
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,094
Would you like a drink, Joan?
1016
00:41:22,429 --> 00:41:24,130
No, thanks.
1017
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,770
I don't know
what to tell you.
1018
00:41:30,772 --> 00:41:33,439
There are things that money
can't buy,
1019
00:41:33,441 --> 00:41:36,976
but fewer, perhaps,
than you'd like to believe.
1020
00:41:38,746 --> 00:41:41,280
I'm curious.
1021
00:41:43,117 --> 00:41:45,651
Why kick over rocks
if you really don't
1022
00:41:45,653 --> 00:41:47,286
want to know
what's beneath them?
1023
00:41:49,123 --> 00:41:50,757
I take it you're here alone
1024
00:41:50,759 --> 00:41:51,991
because you haven't
told Sherlock.
1025
00:41:51,993 --> 00:41:53,426
No, I haven't.
1026
00:41:53,428 --> 00:41:55,294
I hope you have the good sense
1027
00:41:55,296 --> 00:41:56,996
to keep it that way.
1028
00:41:56,998 --> 00:41:58,731
My son was born
1029
00:41:58,733 --> 00:42:03,336
with a malignant sense
of self-righteousness.
1030
00:42:03,338 --> 00:42:06,506
I have little doubt that he
would expose the arrangement,
1031
00:42:06,508 --> 00:42:08,808
probably land himself
in prison just to spite me.
1032
00:42:08,810 --> 00:42:10,777
Be back where he was
a few days ago:
1033
00:42:10,779 --> 00:42:15,014
adrift, uncertain, at risk.
1034
00:42:15,016 --> 00:42:18,985
You took quite a risk yourself.
1035
00:42:18,987 --> 00:42:21,587
I've always been willing to go
to lengths to protect Sherlock.
1036
00:42:21,589 --> 00:42:23,156
So have I.
1037
00:42:23,158 --> 00:42:25,124
You should keep that in mind,
because Sherlock
1038
00:42:25,126 --> 00:42:27,860
is gonna call you tonight
and he's gonna accept your help.
1039
00:42:28,996 --> 00:42:31,497
He wants to go back to the NYPD.
1040
00:42:31,499 --> 00:42:32,632
I'm gonna go with him.
1041
00:42:32,634 --> 00:42:34,600
That's good news.
1042
00:42:34,602 --> 00:42:38,371
I can't imagine why you would
deliver it as a threat.
1043
00:42:38,373 --> 00:42:40,840
Doesn't have to be.
1044
00:42:40,842 --> 00:42:43,342
But if you're gonna be a part
of Sherlock's life again,
1045
00:42:43,344 --> 00:42:45,912
