Here's a question
we should have asked
4
00:00:20,701 --> 00:00:22,101
ten minutes ago.
5
00:00:22,103 --> 00:00:24,503
What if these cuffs
really are un-pickable?
6
00:00:24,505 --> 00:00:27,439
Claiming a new line of handcuffs
to be “un-pickable”
7
00:00:27,441 --> 00:00:28,741
is the equivalent
of proclaiming
8
00:00:28,743 --> 00:00:30,209
revamped laundry detergent
9
00:00:30,211 --> 00:00:32,077
“new and improved”--
it's a marketing ploy,
10
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:34,213
and not a very original one
at that.
11
00:00:34,215 --> 00:00:35,948
I'm just saying,
maybe we should have figured out
12
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:38,350
how to unlock them
before we put them on.
13
00:00:38,352 --> 00:00:41,153
The purpose of this exercise
is to simulate field conditions.
14
00:00:41,155 --> 00:00:43,556
If we were kidnapped,
do you think our captors
15
00:00:43,558 --> 00:00:46,725
would allow us a dry run

Abby Campbell.
37
00:01:34,475 --> 00:01:36,775
She's a lab tech
at our fertility clinic.
38
00:01:36,777 --> 00:01:38,777
The night before last,
she told a colleague
39
00:01:38,779 --> 00:01:40,446
she was planning
to work late.
40
00:01:40,448 --> 00:01:42,481
Her husband--
he's a doctor here--
41
00:01:42,483 --> 00:01:44,416
he says she never came home.
42
00:01:44,418 --> 00:01:46,185
Her car's still
in the parking garage,
43
00:01:46,187 --> 00:01:48,320
but no one's been able
to locate her.
44
00:01:48,322 --> 00:01:50,022
You called the police?
45
00:01:50,024 --> 00:01:52,558
They've already been here.
They're looking into it.
46
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,660
But then I thought of you,
and I figured
47
00:01:54,662 --> 00:01:56,629
since we have a detective
in the family...
48
00:01:56,631 --> 00:02:00,466
Is it possible she left
without telling anyone?
49
00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:03,335
She has a two-year-old daughter.
I can't imagine her
50
00:02:03,337 --> 00:02:04,803
leaving her behind.
51
00:02:04,805 --> 00:02:08,240
She's a good person,
stable, respectable.
52
00:02:08,242 --> 00:02:10,643
Respectable people have been
known to uproot themselves
53
00:02:10,645 --> 00:02:13,212
without any warning.
All I can tell you is
54
00:02:13,214 --> 00:02:15,114
it would be out of character,
55
00:02:15,116 --> 00:02:17,816
and that a lot of people
care about her.
56
00:02:17,818 --> 00:02:20,052
So what do you think?
57
00:02:20,054 --> 00:02:22,221

59
00:02:33,567 --> 00:02:36,268
This is her workstation.
60
00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:39,338
Where she spent her days looking
at life through a microscope.
61
00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:40,906
And nights.
62
00:02:40,908 --> 00:02:42,308
No one seems surprised
63
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:44,410

to work late.

65
00:02:45,946 --> 00:02:48,814
in the breeding age
of the average American female
66
00:02:48,816 --> 00:02:50,949
has led to a great increase
67
00:02:50,951 --> 00:02:53,185
in the demand
for fertility specialists.
68
00:02:53,187 --> 00:02:55,821
You'd think given the sensitive
nature of this facility,
69
00:02:55,823 --> 00:02:57,126
there would be security cameras,
wouldn't you?
70
00:02:57,150 --> 00:02:58,692
Surveillance
71
00:02:58,693 --> 00:03:01,360
in the hospital's lab wing
has always been pretty light.
72
00:03:01,362 --> 00:03:03,996
She could have
slipped out unnoticed.
73
00:03:03,998 --> 00:03:07,099
(electronic dinging)
Or someone else could have slipped in.
74
00:03:14,775 --> 00:03:15,946
What is it?
75
00:03:15,947 --> 00:03:16,747
It's Emily--
76
00:03:16,771 --> 00:03:18,771
she says she needs
to talk, it's urgent.
77
00:03:19,347 --> 00:03:21,046
Did your entire social network
choose today
78
00:03:21,048 --> 00:03:23,782
to have some sort of crisis,
or is this somehow related
79
00:03:23,784 --> 00:03:25,517
to your former administrator's
request for help.
80
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:27,886
No, Emily and Tamara
didn't know each other.
81
00:03:27,888 --> 00:03:29,555
Emily wants
to meet up.
82
00:03:29,557 --> 00:03:31,990
She says she needs
to talk in person.
83
00:03:32,793 --> 00:03:34,760
(exhales)
84
00:03:34,762 --> 00:03:37,329
Did you find something?
85
00:03:37,331 --> 00:03:39,465
Abby's workstation,
and only Abby's,
86
00:03:39,467 --> 00:03:42,768
has been very recently
and very thoroughly cleaned.
87
00:03:42,770 --> 00:03:44,937
Maybe she tidied up
before she left.
88
00:03:44,939 --> 00:03:47,940
Maybe there was
a violent struggle here...
89
00:03:47,942 --> 00:03:50,976
followed
by a thorough scrubbing.
90
00:04:08,429 --> 00:04:10,896
Do you think Abby Campbell
and her fellow techs
91
00:04:10,898 --> 00:04:13,165
would be in the habit
of wheeling samples
92
00:04:13,167 --> 00:04:15,401
to and from this area
on gurneys?
93
00:04:15,403 --> 00:04:17,069
You almost never
see gurneys
94
00:04:17,071 --> 00:04:18,437
in this part of the hospital--
95
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:20,506
it's all labs
and support facilities.
96
00:04:20,508 --> 00:04:23,409
Yet there's evidence that one
was used here quite recently.
97
00:04:23,411 --> 00:04:26,512
Had a sticky wheel,
left scuff marks every few feet.
98
00:04:26,514 --> 00:04:30,249
That's one way someone could
have gotten Abby out of here.
99
00:04:30,251 --> 00:04:33,786
They continue into the corridor.
Let's track them.
100
00:04:44,999 --> 00:04:47,633
Trail ends here.
101
00:04:48,669 --> 00:04:51,103

102
00:04:51,105 --> 00:04:53,639
No, I've never been
down here before.
103
00:04:53,641 --> 00:04:56,542
Not exactly a surgical
suite, is it?
104
00:04:58,145 --> 00:05:00,279
Actually, I think it is.
105
00:05:00,281 --> 00:05:01,647
Sort of.
106
00:05:01,649 --> 00:05:04,716
This is
an ultrasonic aspirator.
107
00:05:08,522 --> 00:05:10,889
These are human organs.
108
00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:14,960
More human organs.
109
00:05:14,962 --> 00:05:17,396
This is a prep lab
for medical specimens.
110
00:05:17,398 --> 00:05:18,864
They take donor corpses
111
00:05:18,866 --> 00:05:20,933
and turn them
into teaching materials
112
00:05:20,935 --> 00:05:23,001
for med schools.
This would have been
113
00:05:23,003 --> 00:05:25,671
a great place
to dispose of a body.
114

Now, since the hyoid

00:07:46,921 --> 00:07:48,487

153
00:07:48,489 --> 00:07:51,156

homicides by strangulation...

You think the killer got rid

155

Perhaps he thought
a broken hyoid

than an absent one.

00:08:49,683 --> 00:08:51,316
Yeah, she left
her card.
180
00:08:51,318 --> 00:08:53,618
Gina Cortes.
181
00:08:55,089 --> 00:08:56,955
Here.
182
00:08:56,957 --> 00:08:58,924
Burglary Division,
183
00:08:58,926 --> 00:09:00,525
Coney Island.
Do you know her?
184
00:09:00,527 --> 00:09:03,829
No. What did she want to know.
It was weird.
185
00:09:03,831 --> 00:09:06,231
It was personal stuff,
like how we met,
186
00:09:06,233 --> 00:09:08,934
how often we get together.
She asked if I thought
187
00:09:08,936 --> 00:09:11,570
you were the kind of person
who would break the law.
188
00:09:11,572 --> 00:09:13,905
What?
I know.
189
00:09:13,907 --> 00:09:16,641
Well, did she say
she was working a case?
190
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:19,211
No. When I asked why she
was asking about you,
191
00:09:19,213 --> 00:09:21,913
she said she wasn't at
liberty to discuss it.
192
00:09:23,450 --> 00:09:25,851
Joanie...
193
00:09:25,853 --> 00:09:27,519
are you in some
sort of trouble?
194
00:09:27,521 --> 00:09:29,654
No, of course not.
'Cause if you are,
195
00:09:29,656 --> 00:09:32,057
you know you can tell me, right?
Emily,
196
00:09:32,059 --> 00:09:34,893
obviously there's been
some sort of misunderstanding.
197
00:09:35,829 --> 00:09:37,963
I'll look into it.
198
00:09:37,965 --> 00:09:39,998
SHERLOCK: Dr. Campbell,
just for the record,
199
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,135
you are an oncologist
at Stuyvesant Memorial?
200
00:09:43,137 --> 00:09:45,837
(sighs) Yeah.
That where
201
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:47,205
you and Abby met?
202
00:09:47,207 --> 00:09:48,974
We didn't
work together.
203
00:09:48,976 --> 00:09:50,342
Uh, not directly.
204
00:09:50,344 --> 00:09:52,477
My clinic is technically
a private practice.
205
00:09:52,479 --> 00:09:55,447
We met at a party.
Mutual friends.
206
00:09:55,449 --> 00:09:57,249
How long have you
been together?
207
00:09:57,251 --> 00:09:58,683
Five years.
208
00:09:58,685 --> 00:10:01,953
Uh... married for three.
209
00:10:01,955 --> 00:10:04,990
Your calluses are...
quite distinctive.
210
00:10:04,992 --> 00:10:07,292
You a rock climber?
211
00:10:08,162 --> 00:10:09,895
Uh... Abby got me into it.
212
00:10:09,897 --> 00:10:11,496
I mostly climb at the gym.
213
00:10:11,498 --> 00:10:14,099
I imagine you've got
formidable grip strength.
214
00:10:14,101 --> 00:10:16,435
BELL: You're strong enough
to have overpowered Abby,
215
00:10:16,437 --> 00:10:18,203
you've got
the medical knowledge to...
216
00:10:18,205 --> 00:10:20,872
reduce her to a skeleton--
we have to ask.
217
00:10:20,874 --> 00:10:23,275
Did I kill my wife?
218
00:10:23,277 --> 00:10:25,043
No.
219
00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:29,748
I understand
you guys have to ask...
220
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:31,083
but...
221
00:10:31,085 --> 00:10:33,318
The night that
Abby disappeared,
222
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,887
I was going over the books
with my clinic manager.
223
00:10:35,889 --> 00:10:37,756
Now, she can tell you
when I left,
224
00:10:37,758 --> 00:10:39,958
but I remember
it was late.
225
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,993
And why didn't you
report Abby missing
226
00:10:41,995 --> 00:10:44,296
when you came home,
realized she wasn't there?
227
00:10:44,298 --> 00:10:47,132
Abby's clinic is understaffed;
she works long hours.
228
00:10:47,134 --> 00:10:49,634
She told the nanny
to look after her daughter
229
00:10:49,636 --> 00:10:51,303
until I got home.
230
00:10:51,305 --> 00:10:52,471
I got home.
231
00:10:52,473 --> 00:10:54,139
I just...
I went to bed.
232
00:10:54,141 --> 00:10:58,610
Would you describe your marriage
as a happy one?
233
00:10:58,612 --> 00:11:00,412
Lately?
234
00:11:00,414 --> 00:11:02,013
No.
235
00:11:02,015 --> 00:11:03,648
Quite the contrary.
236
00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:05,750
You two weren't
getting along?
237
00:11:05,752 --> 00:11:10,755
Abby and I were more in love
than we ever were.
238
00:11:10,757 --> 00:11:14,092
Our marriage wasn't happy
because she was dying.
239
00:11:14,094 --> 00:11:16,661
She had
pancreatic cancer,
240
00:11:16,663 --> 00:11:18,864
stage IV.
241
00:11:18,866 --> 00:11:20,732
She didn't want anyone to know.
242
00:11:20,734 --> 00:11:24,136
I was giving her chemo,
but the truth is...
243
00:11:24,138 --> 00:11:28,006
(sighs)
there was no hope.
244
00:11:28,008 --> 00:11:31,343
She probably only had
a year to live.
245
00:11:31,345 --> 00:11:33,845
You can ask
my nursing staff.
246
00:11:33,847 --> 00:11:37,182
The people at my clinic,
they'll tell you.
247
00:11:37,184 --> 00:11:40,685
I was doing everything I could
to save Abby's life.
248
00:11:40,687 --> 00:11:43,054
I wouldn't
have killed her.
249
00:11:43,056 --> 00:11:47,058
The cancer was doing that
all by itself.
250
00:11:49,396 --> 00:11:52,197
♪ So fast, I want time to fly,
fun, fun ♪
251
00:11:52,199 --> 00:11:55,233
♪ Think about fun,
you know what it is ♪
252
00:11:55,235 --> 00:11:58,803
♪ I got this, you got this,
my friend is by my right, hey ♪
253
00:11:58,805 --> 00:12:01,540
Sherlock?!
♪ I got this, you got this ♪
254
00:12:01,542 --> 00:12:03,808
♪ Now you know it ♪
255
00:12:03,810 --> 00:12:07,846
♪ Kickin' in the front seat,
sittin' in the backseat ♪
256
00:12:07,848 --> 00:12:09,281
What are you doing?
257
00:12:09,283 --> 00:12:11,583
Hospital's security cameras
had no sound.
258
00:12:11,585 --> 00:12:13,818
So I was providing
a musical score in order
259
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:15,987
to make the tedious comings
and goings of the employees
260
00:12:15,989 --> 00:12:17,389
more engaging.
261
00:12:17,391 --> 00:12:19,658
You chose a ringtone
you knew I would dislike.
262
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:22,194
So I thought
I would fight fire with fire.
263
00:12:22,196 --> 00:12:24,780
“Friday”? Seriously?
(music stops)
264
00:12:24,781 --> 00:12:27,265
There's also a song that appeals
to me as a detective.
265
00:12:27,267 --> 00:12:30,368
It's a mystery about dogs
and who may have let them out.
266
00:12:30,370 --> 00:12:32,971
So did you find anything?
267
00:12:32,973 --> 00:12:34,472
There's
precious little
268
00:12:34,474 --> 00:12:37,542
on Abby Campbell the night
of her disappearance.
269
00:12:37,544 --> 00:12:38,843
A trip to the cafeteria.
A return
270
00:12:38,845 --> 00:12:40,412
in the general direction
of her workplace.
271
00:12:40,414 --> 00:12:41,613
And then nothing.
272
00:12:41,615 --> 00:12:42,981
These are all
from different days?
273
00:12:42,983 --> 00:12:45,784
I tracked down
all available video of her
274
00:12:45,786 --> 00:12:47,786
in the weeks leading up
to her murder.
275
00:12:47,788 --> 00:12:49,621
I was hoping to isolate
any contentious encounters
276
00:12:49,623 --> 00:12:51,458
she may have had
with her coworkers.
277
00:12:51,482 --> 00:12:52,258
And?
278
00:12:52,259 --> 00:12:54,159
It appears
she was very, very well-liked.
279
00:12:54,161 --> 00:12:55,994
No unpleasantness whatsoever.
280
00:12:55,996 --> 00:13:00,265
There was, however,
some suspicious pleasantness.
281
00:13:03,203 --> 00:13:05,870
They look intimate.
282
00:13:05,872 --> 00:13:08,740
Using hospital employee records,
I was able to identify that man
283
00:13:08,742 --> 00:13:11,676
as Dr. Branford Fisher,
a surgical resident.
284
00:13:11,678 --> 00:13:14,846
Dr. Fisher and Abby have no
professional reason to interact.
285
00:13:14,848 --> 00:13:18,183
Their areas of expertise
have no overlap. I have,
286
00:13:18,185 --> 00:13:21,453
however, observed no less
than 12 meetings between them.
287
00:13:21,455 --> 00:13:25,156
And all in out-of-the-way
corners of the hospital.
288
00:13:25,158 --> 00:13:28,093
That is a disused patient room.
289
00:13:28,095 --> 00:13:31,496
They spend approximately
15 minutes in there together,
290
00:13:31,498 --> 00:13:35,233
and then they emerged
looking rumpled and happy.
291
00:13:35,235 --> 00:13:37,636
Abby was having an affair.
292
00:13:37,638 --> 00:13:39,471
Dr. Fisher
called in sick
293
00:13:39,473 --> 00:13:40,872
the morning
she was reported missing.
294
00:13:40,874 --> 00:13:42,307
I've attempted to contact him,
295
00:13:42,309 --> 00:13:43,575
but he's not answering
his phone.
296
00:13:43,577 --> 00:13:44,943
And the only listed address
for him
297
00:13:44,945 --> 00:13:46,778
is a P.O. box.
298
00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:49,648
All rather suspicious.
299
00:13:50,684 --> 00:13:53,451
How went your
meeting with Emily?
300
00:13:53,453 --> 00:13:56,154
Not great, actually.
301
00:13:56,156 --> 00:13:57,889
Can you think of any reason
why the police
302
00:13:57,891 --> 00:13:59,524
would be investigating me?
303
00:14:02,562 --> 00:14:04,996
You said Emily was not
your only friend contacted
304
00:14:04,998 --> 00:14:06,898
by Detective Cortes.
305
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,100
Yeah, I got calls
from two other people today.
306
00:14:09,102 --> 00:14:11,403
The detective
asked them
307
00:14:11,405 --> 00:14:12,804
the same kinds of questions.
308
00:14:12,806 --> 00:14:14,306
What kind of person am I,
309
00:14:14,308 --> 00:14:16,441
would I ever break the law.
310
00:14:16,443 --> 00:14:18,610
But she never outright accused
you of anything.
311
00:14:18,612 --> 00:14:21,413
No.
Have you, Watson,
312
00:14:21,415 --> 00:14:23,648
ever committed any burglaries
in Coney Island?
313
00:14:25,018 --> 00:14:26,284
Have to ask.
314
00:14:26,286 --> 00:14:27,485
No, I have not committed
315
00:14:27,487 --> 00:14:28,787
any burglaries in Coney Island.
316
00:14:28,789 --> 00:14:30,155
I can't even remember
the last time
317
00:14:30,157 --> 00:14:31,456
I was in that part of the city.
318
00:14:31,458 --> 00:14:33,992
You have to talk to this woman.
You think?
319
00:14:33,994 --> 00:14:35,660
The timing of her investigation
is unfortunate,
320
00:14:35,662 --> 00:14:37,796
to say the least. We've
only just returned to the NYPD,
321
00:14:37,798 --> 00:14:39,397
so the last thing we need
are rumors
322
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:40,732
that we've engaged
in some kind of thievery.
323
00:14:40,734 --> 00:14:43,001
I will handle it. Okay?
324
00:14:43,003 --> 00:14:45,570
(phone ringing)
325
00:14:47,174 --> 00:14:48,473
Hello?
326
00:14:48,475 --> 00:14:50,975
Mr. Holmes?
This is Nate Campbell.
327
00:14:50,977 --> 00:14:53,978
How'd you get this number,
Dr. Campbell?
328
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:55,313
I understand
you're looking for a doctor
329
00:14:55,315 --> 00:14:56,848
from Stuyvesant Memorial.
330
00:14:56,850 --> 00:14:58,883
Branford Fisher.
331
00:14:58,885 --> 00:15:00,218
I am.
332
00:15:00,220 --> 00:15:01,720
I can tell you where he is.
333
00:15:01,722 --> 00:15:03,188
But only in person.
334
00:15:03,190 --> 00:15:05,390
And you can't bring the police.
335
00:15:05,392 --> 00:15:07,025
(doorbell rings)
336
00:15:07,027 --> 00:15:09,661
(crickets chirping)
337
00:15:10,931 --> 00:15:12,931
We came alone,
as per your request.
338
00:15:12,933 --> 00:15:14,532
But the police are aware
we're here,
339
00:15:14,534 --> 00:15:16,501
on the off chance
you intend to do us harm.
340
00:15:16,503 --> 00:15:19,938
No. Nothing like that.
Please, come in.
341
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:28,580
So, you told us
you could help us find...
342
00:15:28,582 --> 00:15:29,981
Dr. Fisher.
343
00:15:29,983 --> 00:15:31,316
Someone needs
to tell us
344
00:15:31,318 --> 00:15:33,251
what's going on
right now.
345
00:15:33,253 --> 00:15:35,153
When you left your message,
I got nervous.
346
00:15:35,155 --> 00:15:36,855
I called Nate.
347
00:15:36,857 --> 00:15:39,324
Because...
348
00:15:39,326 --> 00:15:40,558
It's complicated.
349
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,495
Branford never
would have hurt Abby.
350
00:15:43,497 --> 00:15:45,463
Did you know
they were having an affair?
351
00:15:45,465 --> 00:15:47,532
HOLMES: No, it wasn't
an affair, was it?
352
00:15:47,534 --> 00:15:49,434
Dr. Fisher's a size 12.
353
00:15:49,436 --> 00:15:51,803
Dr. Campbell's a size nine.
There's a pair of size 12
354
00:15:51,805 --> 00:15:53,505
running shoes here by the door.
355
00:15:53,507 --> 00:15:54,939
There's also a photograph
of Dr. Fisher receiving
356
00:15:54,941 --> 00:15:57,776
a commendation on the wall.
357
00:15:57,778 --> 00:15:59,277
He lives here.
358
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:01,780
On the phone,
you said this was your house.
359
00:16:01,782 --> 00:16:04,249
It's their house.
360
00:16:04,251 --> 00:16:05,750
They were both married to Abby.
361
00:16:05,752 --> 00:16:07,419
Or is there another explanation
for your matching
362
00:16:07,421 --> 00:16:09,053
wedding bands?
363
00:16:09,055 --> 00:16:11,055
I think the current slang
for such an arrangement
364
00:16:11,057 --> 00:16:12,524
is a “thruple.”
365
00:16:12,526 --> 00:16:14,192
Three people, one marriage.
366
00:16:14,194 --> 00:16:17,495
You were both married
to Abby at the same time.
367
00:16:17,497 --> 00:16:19,297
We were. But I swear to you,
368
00:16:19,299 --> 00:16:23,067
neither of us killed
our wife.
369
00:16:31,973 --> 00:16:34,521
We had to keep our
marriage secret.
370
00:16:34,621 --> 00:16:36,388
We have a two-year-old
daughter, Chloe.
371
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:39,925
If we got reported to Family
Services, we could lose her.
372
00:16:39,927 --> 00:16:43,462
Not to mention our careers.
Hospitals don't like scandals.
373
00:16:43,464 --> 00:16:45,397
You all look
very happy together.
374
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,365
NATE:
We are.
375
00:16:47,367 --> 00:16:48,733
We were.
376
00:16:48,735 --> 00:16:51,036
We're just... a family.
377
00:16:51,038 --> 00:16:53,205
We're no different
than anyone else.
378
00:16:53,207 --> 00:16:55,040
Can you account
for your whereabouts
379
00:16:55,042 --> 00:16:56,274
the night Abby disappeared?
380
00:16:56,276 --> 00:16:57,776
FISHER:
I was in Boston.
381
00:16:57,778 --> 00:17:00,212
My dad's been sick.
I went up to see him.
382
00:17:00,214 --> 00:17:01,913
But I also caught up
with some friends.
383
00:17:01,915 --> 00:17:04,316
They'll all tell
you I was there.
384
00:17:04,318 --> 00:17:06,785
If you don't mind me asking,
how did this...
385
00:17:06,787 --> 00:17:08,887
arrangement come about?
386
00:17:08,889 --> 00:17:10,822
NATE: Branford and
I were, uh,
387
00:17:10,824 --> 00:17:14,025
together first.
But we had an understanding.
388
00:17:14,027 --> 00:17:17,429
Uh, and as I said,
I met Abby at a party.
389
00:17:17,431 --> 00:17:19,898
It grew
from there.
390
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,933
She was okay joining you?
391
00:17:21,935 --> 00:17:24,669
It was her idea, actually.
She'd done it before.
392
00:17:24,671 --> 00:17:26,705
She was in
another group marriage?
393
00:17:26,707 --> 00:17:29,908
Arrangements like ours happen
more often than people think.
394
00:17:29,910 --> 00:17:32,544
For some people,
it just works.
395
00:17:32,546 --> 00:17:34,212
It worked for Abby.
396
00:17:34,214 --> 00:17:35,914
Mostly.
397
00:17:35,916 --> 00:17:38,617
Her last marriage was a bad one?
398
00:17:38,619 --> 00:17:40,185
FISHER:
It ended badly.
399
00:17:40,187 --> 00:17:43,722
She had a falling-out with
one of her fellow wives.
400
00:17:43,724 --> 00:17:45,891
She hinted it
got violent once.
401
00:17:45,893 --> 00:17:47,792
NATE: There was
a dispute.
402
00:17:47,794 --> 00:17:49,761
Over money, community assets.
403
00:17:49,763 --> 00:17:51,029
And she was still fighting it,
404
00:17:51,031 --> 00:17:53,298
years after.
You said
405
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,700
“one of her fellow wives.”
How many people were involved
406
00:17:55,702 --> 00:17:57,302
in her previous marriage?
407
00:17:57,304 --> 00:18:00,438
Not counting Abby? Five.
408
00:18:01,975 --> 00:18:05,577
GREGSON: Abby Campbell's exes.
All five of them.
409
00:18:05,579 --> 00:18:07,212
They're still married.
410
00:18:07,214 --> 00:18:10,882
They live in some big house
out in West Essex County.
411
00:18:10,884 --> 00:18:15,220
I had to send five
different cars to get them.
412
00:18:15,222 --> 00:18:17,556
All the suspects
we could hope for.
413
00:18:17,558 --> 00:18:19,324
I don't know how they do it.
414
00:18:19,326 --> 00:18:21,593
I couldn't make a marriage
to one person work.
415
00:18:21,595 --> 00:18:22,928
But Americans
have experimented
416
00:18:22,930 --> 00:18:25,163
with every possible variation
of matrimony.
417
00:18:25,165 --> 00:18:27,766
From the adelphic polygyny
of the Omaha tribe
418
00:18:27,768 --> 00:18:30,335
to the patriarchal polygamy
of the early Mormons
419
00:18:30,337 --> 00:18:32,270
to the free love hippy communes
of the 1970s.
420
00:18:32,272 --> 00:18:33,905
And while some
of those experiments
421
00:18:33,907 --> 00:18:36,875
were abject failures,
many were remarkably long-lived.
422
00:18:36,877 --> 00:18:38,944
Yeah, well, this
experiment ended badly,
423
00:18:38,946 --> 00:18:40,712
at least for
Abby Campbell.
424
00:18:40,714 --> 00:18:43,682
Maybe bad enough
to get her killed.
425
00:18:43,684 --> 00:18:46,785
They're here,
but they're not happy.
426
00:18:46,787 --> 00:18:48,086
I assume
you've kept them separate
427
00:18:48,088 --> 00:18:50,021
so they can't coordinate
their stories?
428
00:18:50,023 --> 00:18:54,192
Yeah. Like five married people
could ever agree on anything.
429
00:18:56,363 --> 00:18:59,464
Abby was special.
We all loved her.
430
00:18:59,466 --> 00:19:01,833
Everything was great.
The first year or two.
431
00:19:01,835 --> 00:19:04,069
I got nothing to say to you.
432
00:19:04,071 --> 00:19:06,771
EX-WIFE 1: But you have to understand,
Abby was...
433
00:19:06,773 --> 00:19:09,608
stubborn.
434
00:19:09,610 --> 00:19:11,109
I'm supposed to be coaching
my daughter's
435
00:19:11,111 --> 00:19:12,510
soccer team this afternoon.
436
00:19:12,512 --> 00:19:14,279
Do I really need
to be here?
437
00:19:14,281 --> 00:19:16,314
It was really all about money.
Abby worked hard.
438
00:19:16,316 --> 00:19:17,949
She wanted to keep
what she earned.
439
00:19:17,951 --> 00:19:21,186
But Denise insisted
we all pool our money.
440
00:19:21,188 --> 00:19:23,488
We're registered
as two married couples.
441
00:19:23,490 --> 00:19:25,457
We share a house to save money.
442
00:19:25,459 --> 00:19:26,992
Trish is our nanny.
443
00:19:26,994 --> 00:19:28,827
The nanny?
444
00:19:28,829 --> 00:19:30,996
Yeah. Sure.
445
00:19:30,998 --> 00:19:32,297
I'm the nanny.
446
00:19:32,299 --> 00:19:34,165
EX-HUSBAND 1:
It got a little ugly.
447
00:19:34,167 --> 00:19:36,801
Especially when it came time
to buy the house.
448
00:19:36,803 --> 00:19:40,005
The house thing.
That was when it all went bad.
449
00:19:40,007 --> 00:19:44,409
Abby had this inheritance, and
Denise pressured her to use it
450
00:19:44,411 --> 00:19:46,077
as a down payment. Abby agreed,
451
00:19:46,079 --> 00:19:48,847
but she was never really happy
about it.
452
00:19:48,849 --> 00:19:50,882
We have six kids.
Everybody's got to pitch in.
453
00:19:50,884 --> 00:19:51,883
It doesn't matter
454
00:19:51,885 --> 00:19:53,752
if they have
a job or not.
455
00:19:53,754 --> 00:19:55,520
I don't got to talk to you
about any of this.
456
00:19:55,522 --> 00:19:56,988
Unless you're charging me
with something.
457
00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:58,356
EX-WIFE 1:
The arguments
458
00:19:58,358 --> 00:20:00,525
just got worse and worse.
459
00:20:00,527 --> 00:20:04,162
And it didn't help that Abby
was so much younger than Denise
460
00:20:04,164 --> 00:20:06,531
and maybe... got a little more
461
00:20:06,533 --> 00:20:08,166
attention
when it came to, you know,
462
00:20:08,168 --> 00:20:11,102
sleeping arrangements.
EX-HUSBAND 1: There was
463
00:20:11,104 --> 00:20:12,570
a little pushing and shoving
between her
464
00:20:12,572 --> 00:20:14,472
and Denise toward the end.
465
00:20:14,474 --> 00:20:16,975
EX-WIFE 1: I think that was
the last straw.
466
00:20:16,977 --> 00:20:20,445
The next day,
she just... left.
467
00:20:20,447 --> 00:20:23,114
She'd been trying to get that
down payment back ever since.
468
00:20:23,116 --> 00:20:25,684
But giving it to her would've
meant selling the house.
469
00:20:25,686 --> 00:20:28,553
Denise said that was out
of the question.
470
00:20:28,555 --> 00:20:31,189
You want to know what happened,
talk to Denise.
471
00:20:31,191 --> 00:20:32,624
I don't know.
472
00:20:32,626 --> 00:20:34,659
That was between her and Denise.
473
00:20:34,661 --> 00:20:37,896
This is harassment,
plain and simple.
474
00:20:37,898 --> 00:20:39,831
And if the NYPD
causes me
475
00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:42,734
or my family any embarrassment,
476
00:20:42,736 --> 00:20:45,236
I will sue this department
in general
477
00:20:45,238 --> 00:20:47,072
and you three in particular.
478
00:20:47,074 --> 00:20:49,040
It says here your specialty
is contract law.
479
00:20:49,042 --> 00:20:51,476
Didn't know
you were also a litigator.
480
00:20:51,478 --> 00:20:53,011
A lawyer is a lawyer.
481
00:20:53,013 --> 00:20:55,647
You want to test me,
I'll see you in court.
482
00:20:55,649 --> 00:20:57,916
Look, no one's going to court,
Denise. Not if you want
483
00:20:57,918 --> 00:20:59,451
your private life
to stay private.
484
00:20:59,453 --> 00:21:01,086
Now, if you cooperate, you
485
00:21:01,088 --> 00:21:03,588
and your family can go back
home to Essex, no problem.
486
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:06,124
You make a stink, you're
gonna end up in the press.
487
00:21:06,126 --> 00:21:08,193
GREGSON: Seven years after Abby
left the marriage,
488
00:21:08,195 --> 00:21:11,029
you and her were still fighting
over her share of the house.
489
00:21:11,031 --> 00:21:15,133
She fronted $100,000
for your down.
490
00:21:15,135 --> 00:21:16,935
You never paid her back.
491
00:21:16,937 --> 00:21:18,503
Like she needed the money.
492
00:21:18,505 --> 00:21:21,372
She married an oncologist.
He's rolling in it.
493
00:21:23,343 --> 00:21:27,045
Okay, things were bad
494
00:21:27,047 --> 00:21:29,447
between Abby and me, but then...
495
00:21:29,449 --> 00:21:31,449
we had lunch a few weeks ago.
496
00:21:31,451 --> 00:21:33,685
We buried the hatchet.
It was her idea.
497
00:21:33,687 --> 00:21:36,755
She was diagnosed with cancer
and wanted closure.
498
00:21:36,757 --> 00:21:38,323
No loose ends.
499
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,192
Here.
500
00:21:41,194 --> 00:21:44,195
She e-mailed me this
501
00:21:44,197 --> 00:21:47,599
after she signed it.
502
00:21:47,601 --> 00:21:49,267
I have
the original at home.
503
00:21:49,269 --> 00:21:52,270
It's a quitclaim giving up
her interest in the house.
504
00:21:52,272 --> 00:21:54,906
So you see,
I had no reason to hurt Abby.
505
00:21:54,908 --> 00:21:57,375
Not that I ever would have.
I loved her.
506
00:21:57,377 --> 00:21:59,210
Once.
507
00:21:59,212 --> 00:22:02,447
Now, are we done?
508
00:22:02,449 --> 00:22:04,816
Uh, I'm sorry.
509
00:22:04,818 --> 00:22:08,820
Did-did she want anything in
return for this peace offering?
510
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:14,626
BELL:
Denise?
511
00:22:14,628 --> 00:22:17,362
Yes, she asked for something,
but I couldn't give it to her.
512
00:22:17,364 --> 00:22:19,364
She wanted me
to draw up
513
00:22:19,366 --> 00:22:21,499
a confidentiality
agreement.
514
00:22:21,501 --> 00:22:24,936
She was trying to sell something
and she wanted a guarantee
515
00:22:24,938 --> 00:22:28,406
that the buyer wouldn't reveal
the nature of the transaction.
516
00:22:28,408 --> 00:22:29,774
What was she selling?
517
00:22:29,776 --> 00:22:31,509
I don't know.
518
00:22:31,511 --> 00:22:34,813
But I got the sense it was
something that she'd stolen.
519
00:22:34,815 --> 00:22:37,482
When I explained to her
that any contract that pertains
520
00:22:37,484 --> 00:22:40,084
to illegal activity
is null and void...
521
00:22:40,086 --> 00:22:41,719
she dropped it.
522
00:22:41,721 --> 00:22:44,155
But I don't know.
523
00:22:44,157 --> 00:22:46,291
Whatever she took,
524
00:22:46,293 --> 00:22:48,760
maybe it was worth killing over.
525
00:22:59,639 --> 00:23:02,473
Detective Cortes.
Joan Watson.
526
00:23:02,475 --> 00:23:04,809
But I'm guessing you
knew that already.
527
00:23:04,811 --> 00:23:06,578
How can I help you, Ms. Watson?
528
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:08,446
Actually, I was wondering
if I could help you.
529
00:23:08,448 --> 00:23:09,914
You've been asking
questions about me.
530
00:23:09,916 --> 00:23:11,516
I thought we could sit
down, talk face-to-face,
531
00:23:11,518 --> 00:23:13,451
clear up any
misunderstanding.
532
00:23:13,453 --> 00:23:16,254
That's very thoughtful of you,
but now's not a good time.
533
00:23:16,256 --> 00:23:17,589
When would be
a good time?
534
00:23:17,591 --> 00:23:19,657
I don't know.
535
00:23:19,659 --> 00:23:22,594
But when I'm ready to talk
to you, I'll find you. Trust me.
536
00:23:22,596 --> 00:23:25,763
Can you at least tell me
what you think I did?
537
00:23:25,765 --> 00:23:27,665
I never said
you did anything.
538
00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:29,701
Are you planning to talk
to more people I know?
539
00:23:29,703 --> 00:23:32,303
Does that make you
uncomfortable?
540
00:23:32,305 --> 00:23:35,373
Having someone poke around
in your life, ask questions?
541
00:23:35,375 --> 00:23:39,510
It's not like you have
anything to hide, right?
542
00:23:43,450 --> 00:23:45,717
(door opens)
543
00:23:45,719 --> 00:23:47,986
Just gonna
text you.
544
00:23:47,988 --> 00:23:49,454
Still a free woman,
I see.
545
00:23:49,456 --> 00:23:51,422
May I assume you've
cleared up any confusion
546
00:23:51,424 --> 00:23:53,024
with Detective Cortes?
547
00:23:53,026 --> 00:23:54,759
No, you may not.
548
00:23:54,761 --> 00:23:57,562
I caught her as she was leaving
her precinct. I told her
549
00:23:57,564 --> 00:23:59,831
I would be happy to answer
any questions she might have.
550
00:23:59,833 --> 00:24:01,065
She said she didn't have any.
551
00:24:01,067 --> 00:24:02,767
So I asked her, “Can
you at least tell me
552
00:24:02,769 --> 00:24:05,336
what crime I'm supposed to have
committed?” She said no.
553
00:24:05,338 --> 00:24:06,738
Well, it's not unusual
for a police detective
554
00:24:06,740 --> 00:24:08,606
to be cagey with a suspect.
555
00:24:08,608 --> 00:24:10,275
Well that's the thing--
I don't think I'm a suspect.
556
00:24:10,277 --> 00:24:12,043
I think it's personal.
She's messing with me.
557
00:24:12,045 --> 00:24:13,444
You said before yesterday
you'd never even
558
00:24:13,446 --> 00:24:14,979
heard of Detective Cortes.
559
00:24:14,981 --> 00:24:16,581
Mm, I hadn't.
560
00:24:16,583 --> 00:24:18,082
Perhaps at some point you slept
with one of her lovers.
561
00:24:18,084 --> 00:24:20,184
Well, considering
she's gay and I'm not,
562
00:24:20,186 --> 00:24:21,586
I think that's highly unlikely.
563
00:24:21,588 --> 00:24:23,821
Ah, so you've been
looking into her.
564
00:24:23,823 --> 00:24:26,291
What choice do I have? She won't
tell me what her problem is,
565
00:24:26,293 --> 00:24:28,760
so I have to find out myself.
566
00:24:28,762 --> 00:24:29,994
What is all this?
567
00:24:29,996 --> 00:24:31,696
Inventory forms,
personnel records
568
00:24:31,698 --> 00:24:33,865
and security reports
from Stuyvesant Memorial.
569
00:24:33,867 --> 00:24:35,199
One of Abby Campbell's
ex-spouses
570
00:24:35,201 --> 00:24:36,601
seems to think she was trying
571
00:24:36,603 --> 00:24:38,836
to sell something
that she had stolen.
572
00:24:38,838 --> 00:24:41,572
Whatever it was, you're thinking
it came from the hospital.
573
00:24:41,574 --> 00:24:43,808
She would have had access
to any number of valuable items.
574
00:24:43,810 --> 00:24:45,810
Drugs. They are, of course,
the most common target
575
00:24:45,812 --> 00:24:47,412
for medical larceny.
576
00:24:47,414 --> 00:24:49,380
But all of the hospital's
inventories add up.
577
00:24:49,382 --> 00:24:51,983
Nothing is missing
from any of the pharmacies.
578
00:24:51,985 --> 00:24:54,152
All of the equipment in Abby's
lab is also accounted for,
579
00:24:54,154 --> 00:24:55,453
except for some
inexpensive items
580
00:24:55,455 --> 00:24:56,721
like test tubes and beakers.
581
00:24:56,723 --> 00:24:58,589
Glassware goes missing
all the time.
582
00:24:58,591 --> 00:25:01,159
Interns and nurses use them
as tumblers and shot glasses.
583
00:25:01,161 --> 00:25:03,528
I noticed the suture scissors
in your sewing kit.
584
00:25:03,530 --> 00:25:04,996
Anyway,
it occurred to me
585
00:25:04,998 --> 00:25:06,831
there was something else
she could have taken.
586
00:25:06,833 --> 00:25:08,533
Something she would have
had ready access to
587
00:25:08,535 --> 00:25:10,568
as an employee
of the fertility clinic.
588
00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:13,638
Something that is in
extremely high demand.
589
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,673
Viable human embryos.
590
00:25:15,675 --> 00:25:17,141
Would've been
a simple matter to pilfer
591
00:25:17,143 --> 00:25:20,311
excess blastocysts
intended for disposal.
592
00:25:20,313 --> 00:25:21,579
A single fertilized egg
can go for
593
00:25:21,581 --> 00:25:23,648
up to $10,000
on the open market.
594
00:25:23,650 --> 00:25:26,517
I don't think Abby's eggs would
have made it to the open market.
595
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:28,386
If she was looking
for a motivated buyer,
596
00:25:28,388 --> 00:25:30,054
she needn't
have looked any further
597
00:25:30,056 --> 00:25:32,757
than her own social circle.
598
00:25:34,194 --> 00:25:35,760
Dr. Amrit.
599
00:25:35,762 --> 00:25:38,029
Sherlock Holmes.
This is Joan Watson.
600
00:25:38,031 --> 00:25:40,298
We work with
the New York police department.
601
00:25:40,300 --> 00:25:42,867
You went to college
with Abby Campbell,
602
00:25:42,869 --> 00:25:44,769
did you not?
Uh, excuse me?
603
00:25:44,771 --> 00:25:47,038
The two of you remained friends
until her...
604
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,574
her recent demise.
Posted your condolences
605
00:25:49,576 --> 00:25:51,209
just this morning
on social media.
606
00:25:51,211 --> 00:25:53,144
So?
607
00:25:53,146 --> 00:25:55,213
You use embryonic stem cells
in your research, right?
608
00:25:55,215 --> 00:25:57,915
Abby reposted an article
you wrote a few months ago.
609
00:25:57,917 --> 00:25:59,951
In it, you argue that
researchers should have
610
00:25:59,953 --> 00:26:02,353
unfettered access
to embryos that are destroyed
611
00:26:02,355 --> 00:26:04,655
by IVF clinics in the course
of their work.
612
00:26:04,657 --> 00:26:07,992
Embryonic stem cell research
is the most promising path
613
00:26:07,994 --> 00:26:11,362
to finding a cure for diabetes
and other metabolic diseases.
614
00:26:11,364 --> 00:26:14,098
But why that would be
of interest to the police, uh...
615
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:16,667
Must be frustrating when
politicians pander to their base
616
00:26:16,669 --> 00:26:19,137
by making it difficult
to obtain suitable cells.
617
00:26:19,139 --> 00:26:21,105
Enough to purchase
618
00:26:21,107 --> 00:26:23,174
excess embryos from Abby.
619
00:26:23,176 --> 00:26:25,476
I have papers
to grade.
620
00:26:25,478 --> 00:26:27,478
It is, of course,
illegal to obtain embryos
621
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,981
without the consent
of the potential parent
622
00:26:29,983 --> 00:26:32,083
that provided
that genetic material.
623
00:26:32,085 --> 00:26:34,085
We can get a warrant.
If the DNA of the cells
624
00:26:34,087 --> 00:26:36,287
from your lab match the patients
from Abby's clinic,
625
00:26:36,289 --> 00:26:37,555
then that's a federal crime.
626
00:26:37,557 --> 00:26:40,425
I'm trying to save lives.
627
00:26:40,427 --> 00:26:43,895
Diabetes is a plague. It kills
over four million people a year.
628
00:26:43,897 --> 00:26:46,931
How many embryos did you agree
to buy from Abby? A few dozen?
629
00:26:46,933 --> 00:26:49,667
That would have cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
630
00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:51,836
As far as we know,
you never paid her a dime.
631
00:26:51,838 --> 00:26:53,538
Did you kill your old friend
632
00:26:53,540 --> 00:26:55,239
so that you wouldn't
have to compensate her?
633
00:26:55,241 --> 00:26:58,342
I didn't hurt Abby.
634
00:26:58,344 --> 00:27:00,244
And she didn't want money.
635
00:27:00,246 --> 00:27:01,746
It was a trade.
636
00:27:01,748 --> 00:27:03,214
A trade for what?
637
00:27:03,216 --> 00:27:06,951
She came to me asking
for access to my lab.
638
00:27:06,953 --> 00:27:08,419
She wanted to run
some blood tests
639
00:27:08,421 --> 00:27:09,887
after hours and
off the record.
640
00:27:09,889 --> 00:27:12,790
I asked for the embryos
in return.
641
00:27:12,792 --> 00:27:15,059
They would have just
been thrown away.
642
00:27:15,061 --> 00:27:16,108
Wasted.
643
00:27:16,132 --> 00:27:17,696
What was she
testing the blood for?
644
00:27:17,697 --> 00:27:19,163
She wouldn't tell me.
645
00:27:19,165 --> 00:27:21,866
She would have used
computerized equipment.
646
00:27:21,868 --> 00:27:24,502
There might be records of her
tests on their hard drives.
647
00:27:24,504 --> 00:27:26,904
Do you mind if we have a look?
No.
648
00:27:26,906 --> 00:27:28,973
I do not.
I just don't
649
00:27:28,975 --> 00:27:30,942
think you're going to find much.
650
00:27:30,944 --> 00:27:35,279
I thought it was some religious
fanatic opposed to my research.
651
00:27:35,281 --> 00:27:38,783
I get threatening letters
and e-mails-- very nasty.
652
00:27:38,785 --> 00:27:41,385
But then I heard
about Abby, and...
653
00:27:41,387 --> 00:27:43,793
now I'm not so sure.
654
00:27:45,201 --> 00:27:48,235
Blood chemistry analyzer.
655
00:27:48,237 --> 00:27:50,120
The flow cytomer.
656
00:27:50,122 --> 00:27:52,156
Everything she might have
used to test blood.
657
00:27:52,158 --> 00:27:53,824
Whatever she was
doing here,
658
00:27:53,826 --> 00:27:56,827
Someone wanted to
keep it a secret.
659
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:07,779
So Abby Campbell runs
some hush-hush blood tests.
660
00:28:07,879 --> 00:28:09,779
Someone isn't happy
about that.
661
00:28:10,345 --> 00:28:12,345
He or she kills her,
662
00:28:12,347 --> 00:28:15,448
takes her apart,
and then the next night
663
00:28:15,450 --> 00:28:19,352
goes to the lab she used
and destroys all of her data.
664
00:28:19,354 --> 00:28:22,088
Whoever set the fires
didn't just burn those machines.
665
00:28:22,090 --> 00:28:24,323
The hard drives were
pulled out and destroyed.
666
00:28:24,325 --> 00:28:26,392
Any idea what
the blood tests were for?
667
00:28:26,394 --> 00:28:28,528
One theory is that Abby
suspected a colleague
668
00:28:28,530 --> 00:28:30,663
of shenanigans and was
seeking confirmation.
669
00:28:30,665 --> 00:28:31,867
Shenanigans?
670
00:28:31,891 --> 00:28:33,033
You remember the
fertility doctor
671
00:28:33,034 --> 00:28:35,468
in California who used
his own sperm to fertilize
672
00:28:35,470 --> 00:28:37,336
hundreds of eggs
without informing the mothers?
673
00:28:37,338 --> 00:28:38,704
It's possible
someone
674
00:28:38,706 --> 00:28:40,540
in Abby's lab
was doing the same.
675
00:28:40,542 --> 00:28:42,975
It would explain why she wanted
access to Dr. Amrit's lab.
676
00:28:42,977 --> 00:28:44,477
She may have been running
paternity tests.
677
00:28:44,479 --> 00:28:47,547
So that's one theory.
There any more?
678
00:28:47,549 --> 00:28:48,948
Not at present.
679
00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:51,117
But another may be
just a warrant away.
680
00:28:51,119 --> 00:28:53,052
It's possible that there's
a trace of Abby's research
681
00:28:53,054 --> 00:28:54,754
that her killer missed.
682
00:28:54,756 --> 00:28:57,657
The biological waste produced
by university labs is set aside
683
00:28:57,659 --> 00:28:59,625
in locked bins
for special processing.
684
00:28:59,627 --> 00:29:01,427
The waste is collected
three times a week.
685
00:29:01,429 --> 00:29:04,564
There was a pickup the night
before the lab was destroyed.
686
00:29:04,566 --> 00:29:06,899
So if Abby dumped
her test materials
687
00:29:06,901 --> 00:29:10,236
in one of those locked bins...
688
00:29:10,238 --> 00:29:12,338
The disposal company
might still have some.
689
00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:13,639
I'll get an ADA
690
00:29:13,641 --> 00:29:16,008
to get you a warrant.
691
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,514
Sort of a cliché, huh?
692
00:29:21,516 --> 00:29:23,649
Cop who actually hangs
out in a doughnut shop?
693
00:29:23,651 --> 00:29:25,551
Who told you I was here?
694
00:29:25,553 --> 00:29:28,588
I am not at liberty to say,
but I know why you've been
695
00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:32,091
harassing me. Before you
moved to Burglary, you were
696
00:29:32,093 --> 00:29:33,893
in the Bronx under Ann Vescey.
697
00:29:33,895 --> 00:29:36,996
Rumor has it she promised to
transfer you to Major Crimes
698
00:29:36,998 --> 00:29:40,032
when she was tapped to take
over for Captain Gregson.
699
00:29:40,034 --> 00:29:42,068
That would have been
a big step up for you.
700
00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:43,636
Only she didn't
take over for Gregson,
701
00:29:43,638 --> 00:29:45,104
because he didn't leave.
702
00:29:45,106 --> 00:29:46,873
You blame me for that.
703
00:29:46,875 --> 00:29:49,342
Obviously, you found out that
I was looking into Vescey.
704
00:29:49,344 --> 00:29:51,444
You think I torpedoed her.
705
00:29:51,446 --> 00:29:53,446
What is that?
706
00:29:53,448 --> 00:29:55,381
Everything I gave
Captain Gregson. Read it.
707
00:29:55,383 --> 00:29:57,950
You'll see that I found
Vescey was clean.
708
00:29:57,952 --> 00:30:01,721
The captain decided not to step
aside because he was not ready.
709
00:30:01,723 --> 00:30:03,990
Not because of
anything I said.
710
00:30:03,992 --> 00:30:06,125
It's heavy.
711
00:30:06,127 --> 00:30:08,294
You put a lot of work into this.
712
00:30:10,164 --> 00:30:11,764
I don't care
713
00:30:11,766 --> 00:30:13,900
what you did or didn't
find out about Ann.
714
00:30:13,902 --> 00:30:16,502
What I care about
is that you looked at all.
715
00:30:16,504 --> 00:30:18,037
You're not a cop.
716
00:30:18,039 --> 00:30:20,806
You're a citizen
with delusions of grandeur.
717
00:30:20,808 --> 00:30:23,776
Cops-- real cops--
we have enough people
718
00:30:23,778 --> 00:30:25,278
looking over our shoulders.
719
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,880
Politicians,
the press, the brass,
720
00:30:27,882 --> 00:30:30,983
IAB. They second-guess us
all day long.
721
00:30:30,985 --> 00:30:34,120
But, hey, that's
what they're there for.
722
00:30:34,122 --> 00:30:36,589
Who are you
to look into us?
723
00:30:36,591 --> 00:30:39,058
I take it you've never
used a consultant before?
724
00:30:39,060 --> 00:30:40,359
No,
725
00:30:40,361 --> 00:30:42,061
I've never used a consultant.
726
00:30:42,063 --> 00:30:44,330
Real cops do the job themselves.
727
00:30:44,332 --> 00:30:45,831
That's how it works.
728
00:30:45,833 --> 00:30:48,334
You don't belong.
729
00:30:48,336 --> 00:30:50,102
I don't know
what to tell you, Detective.
730
00:30:50,104 --> 00:30:51,771
I'm not going anywhere.
731
00:30:53,641 --> 00:30:55,641
But you were.
732
00:30:55,643 --> 00:30:57,310
You and your partner.
733
00:30:57,312 --> 00:30:59,245
And now
you're both back.
734
00:30:59,247 --> 00:31:00,680
That's weird, right?
735
00:31:00,682 --> 00:31:02,481
I just caught
a new case last night.
736
00:31:02,483 --> 00:31:04,750
It's gonna keep me busy
for a while, but after that,
737
00:31:04,752 --> 00:31:07,987
I don't know.
Maybe I'll circle back around.
738
00:31:07,989 --> 00:31:10,189
See what else I can find.
739
00:31:22,103 --> 00:31:25,204
All that came from
Dr. Amrit's lab?
740
00:31:25,206 --> 00:31:28,774
It seems the medical waste
for the entire university
741
00:31:28,776 --> 00:31:30,276
was labeled identically.
742
00:31:30,278 --> 00:31:32,645
A team is being assembled
to sort through it,
743
00:31:32,647 --> 00:31:35,614
but I thought you and I could
get the ball rolling.
744
00:31:35,616 --> 00:31:37,116
Okay, but...
745
00:31:37,118 --> 00:31:39,552
Gloves, goggles, mask,
right behind you there.
746
00:31:39,554 --> 00:31:41,220
You can apprise me
of your meeting
747
00:31:41,222 --> 00:31:44,357
with your stalker
as we sort.
748
00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:46,559
Mm.
749
00:31:49,530 --> 00:31:51,356
WATSON:
I think she may be insane.
750
00:31:51,357 --> 00:31:52,507
Because she doesn't like you?
751
00:31:52,531 --> 00:31:54,368
Because she's fixating on me.
752
00:31:54,369 --> 00:31:56,435
In her defense, you were
investigating her friend
753
00:31:56,437 --> 00:31:58,437
and you are a mere citizen.
754
00:31:58,439 --> 00:32:00,206
So are you.
755
00:32:00,208 --> 00:32:03,009
But I'm quite accustomed
to people not liking me.
756
00:32:03,011 --> 00:32:05,611
Okay, so what if she continues
to look into me, into us,
757
00:32:05,613 --> 00:32:07,780
and figures out that your father
pulled some strings
758
00:32:07,782 --> 00:32:09,315
to get us back into the 11th?
759
00:32:09,317 --> 00:32:10,750
As I see it,
760
00:32:10,752 --> 00:32:12,618
the crux of the matter
is that Detective Cortes
761
00:32:12,620 --> 00:32:14,653
sees you as an outsider
and not a peer.
762
00:32:14,655 --> 00:32:17,890
If you were a cop, you would
have what is called a “beef”.
763
00:32:17,892 --> 00:32:20,426
And a beef can be settled
and what you have cannot be.
764
00:32:20,428 --> 00:32:23,162
Because I'm a consultant.
Precisely.
765
00:32:23,164 --> 00:32:26,599
So I-I just take it, I just
let her keep bullying me?
766
00:32:28,102 --> 00:32:31,037
As I said before,
she does not see you as a peer,
767
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:32,738
so force her to.
768
00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:35,641
You remember the disagreement
that Detectives Grell and Luntz
769
00:32:35,643 --> 00:32:37,810
had last year?
Yeah.
770
00:32:37,812 --> 00:32:39,478
It festered for months,
then it was resolved.
771
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,714
Do you recall
how it was resolved?
772
00:32:43,284 --> 00:32:44,517
You're not serious.
773
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:46,018
I have reason to believe
Detective Cortes
774
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:47,653
would be amenable to the idea.
775
00:32:48,656 --> 00:32:50,456
(sighs)
776
00:32:50,458 --> 00:32:52,158
Six plastic vials,
each containing
777
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,693
blood residue, and each one...
778
00:32:54,695 --> 00:32:56,729
with Abby Campbell's handwriting
on the labels.
779
00:32:56,731 --> 00:32:59,432
Looks like she was thorough.
780
00:32:59,434 --> 00:33:03,335
Test subjects are identified
781
00:33:03,337 --> 00:33:06,972
by initials, plus dates
and times of collection.
782
00:33:06,974 --> 00:33:08,974
These samples were gathered
on three consecutive Thursdays
783
00:33:08,976 --> 00:33:11,310
between the hours
of 9:00 and 10:00p.m.
784
00:33:11,312 --> 00:33:12,745
Does that mean something to you?
785
00:33:12,747 --> 00:33:14,346
Memorizing a murder victim's
calendar
786
00:33:14,348 --> 00:33:15,948
is a matter of course.
787
00:33:15,950 --> 00:33:18,617
I know where she was
at these times,
788
00:33:18,619 --> 00:33:22,421
so I know who to talk to
about the work she was doing.
789
00:33:22,423 --> 00:33:24,523
WOMAN:
Support groups
790
00:33:24,525 --> 00:33:27,393
can be very helpful
for cancer patients.
791
00:33:27,395 --> 00:33:30,296
They're going through
so many things
792
00:33:30,298 --> 00:33:33,399
that only their
peers can understand.
793
00:33:33,401 --> 00:33:35,468
And Abby Campbell had been
attending your group
794
00:33:35,470 --> 00:33:36,902
for three months?
795
00:33:36,904 --> 00:33:40,039
Ever since her diagnosis.
796
00:33:40,041 --> 00:33:41,507
We have reason to believe
797
00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:43,742
that she was collecting blood
during these meetings.
798
00:33:43,744 --> 00:33:46,512
May we assume it was
from her fellow group members?
799
00:33:48,416 --> 00:33:51,217
Ms. Russof, this is a
murder investigation.
800
00:33:52,820 --> 00:33:55,821
A few weeks ago,
Abby made a pitch to the group.
801
00:33:55,823 --> 00:33:57,823
She said she had a friend
802
00:33:57,825 --> 00:34:00,392
who was doing
advanced cancer research.
803
00:34:00,394 --> 00:34:02,661
It was supposed
to be promising.
804
00:34:02,663 --> 00:34:04,897
Maybe even a cure.
805
00:34:04,899 --> 00:34:07,199
She said she could get people
into the study.
806
00:34:07,201 --> 00:34:09,368
She just needed blood samples
807
00:34:09,370 --> 00:34:11,704
to test for
suitability.
808
00:34:11,706 --> 00:34:13,706
Sounds like
you had your doubts.
809
00:34:13,708 --> 00:34:18,711
People are always touting
miracle cures for cancer.
810
00:34:18,713 --> 00:34:22,114
You can probably guess
how many pan out.
811
00:34:22,116 --> 00:34:24,750
I wasn't the only one
who was skeptical.
812
00:34:24,752 --> 00:34:27,786
The husband of one of the group
members came to a meeting,
813
00:34:27,788 --> 00:34:29,555
and he accused Abby
814
00:34:29,557 --> 00:34:32,024
of being a con
artist. He said
815
00:34:32,026 --> 00:34:34,093
that if she didn't
leave his wife alone,
816
00:34:34,095 --> 00:34:36,502
she would be sorry.
817
00:34:36,503 --> 00:34:38,231
Can you give us
this person's name?
818
00:34:38,255 --> 00:34:40,033
Kirk.
819
00:34:40,034 --> 00:34:42,468
Kirk Abramovitch.
820
00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:44,103
Yeah, I threatened
Abby Campbell.
821
00:34:44,105 --> 00:34:46,205
No, I didn't turn her
into a skeleton.
822
00:34:46,207 --> 00:34:48,908
You make it sound absurd,
Mr. Abramovitch.
823
00:34:48,910 --> 00:34:50,576
But on your social
media page,
824
00:34:50,578 --> 00:34:52,278
I've seen pictures
of you pitching in
825
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,746
at your father's
butcher shop.
826
00:34:53,748 --> 00:34:56,315
I got to think knowing
how to work a deli slicer
827
00:34:56,317 --> 00:34:58,450
and deboning a person
are two very different things.
828
00:34:58,452 --> 00:35:00,619
WOMAN:
That night at therapy,
829
00:35:00,621 --> 00:35:02,021
Kirk only yelled
at Abby because
830
00:35:02,023 --> 00:35:03,889
he thought she was
trying to scam me.
831
00:35:03,891 --> 00:35:05,087
He just wanted
her to back off.
832
00:35:05,111 --> 00:35:06,826
I've seen
her type before.
833
00:35:06,827 --> 00:35:09,228
Kirk's mother died of colon
cancer in the late '90s.
834
00:35:09,230 --> 00:35:12,164
KIRK: She got suckered
by every snake oil salesman
835
00:35:12,166 --> 00:35:13,566
that crossed her path.
836
00:35:13,568 --> 00:35:17,469
She tried light therapy,
magnets, special diets,
837
00:35:17,471 --> 00:35:19,104
shark cartilage.
838
00:35:19,106 --> 00:35:21,941
She ended up taking out
a second mortgage on her house
839
00:35:21,943 --> 00:35:24,343
to pay for some fancy clinic
down in Mexico.
840
00:35:24,345 --> 00:35:25,711
All for nothing.
841
00:35:25,713 --> 00:35:27,279
WOMAN: I didn't think
there was any harm
842
00:35:27,281 --> 00:35:29,548
in looking into the
study Abby told us about,
843
00:35:29,550 --> 00:35:32,017
but, the truth is,
I didn't need it.
844
00:35:32,019 --> 00:35:33,452
My chemo's working.
845
00:35:33,454 --> 00:35:34,887
Dr. Campbell says
846
00:35:34,889 --> 00:35:36,355
I'm doing really well.
847
00:35:36,357 --> 00:35:38,591
Dr. Campbell,
as in Nate Campbell?
848
00:35:38,593 --> 00:35:39,992
So,
849
00:35:39,994 --> 00:35:42,795
Abby's husband is
your oncologist?
850
00:35:42,797 --> 00:35:45,030
That's why I agreed
to give Abby my blood--
851
00:35:45,032 --> 00:35:46,632
because she was his wife.
852
00:35:46,634 --> 00:35:49,468
I thought she must know
what she's talking about.
853
00:35:49,470 --> 00:35:51,203
(baby crying over monitor)
854
00:35:51,205 --> 00:35:53,639
Oh, that's our
son. Can I
855
00:35:53,641 --> 00:35:55,507
go get him?
856
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,213
(footsteps approaching)
857
00:36:01,215 --> 00:36:02,982
(knocking)
858
00:36:02,984 --> 00:36:04,650
Oh, hey.
859
00:36:04,652 --> 00:36:06,752
Hi. Oh, he's beautiful.
860
00:36:06,754 --> 00:36:08,948
A hundred percentile
in height and weight.
861
00:36:08,972 --> 00:36:09,456
Ah.
862
00:36:09,457 --> 00:36:11,056
He's gonna be
a big guy.
863
00:36:11,058 --> 00:36:13,325
Oh, just like his daddy.
(laughing): Yeah, right?
864
00:36:13,327 --> 00:36:15,294
Hmm.
865
00:36:15,296 --> 00:36:17,696
Do you mind me asking what kind
of cancer you have?
866
00:36:17,698 --> 00:36:20,366
Spinal plasmacytoma.
867
00:36:20,368 --> 00:36:22,501
I had some back pain,
there was a lump.
868
00:36:22,503 --> 00:36:24,069
Dr. Campbell prescribed chemo.
869
00:36:24,071 --> 00:36:26,605
And where is the tumor located?
870
00:36:26,607 --> 00:36:28,307
On my L4.
871
00:36:28,309 --> 00:36:32,011
I used to be a surgeon.
Do you mind if a take a look?
872
00:36:32,013 --> 00:36:33,879
Okay. Okay.
873
00:36:33,881 --> 00:36:36,682
I'm gonna put you down
for a second, sweetie.
874
00:36:36,684 --> 00:36:39,518
Right here.
875
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,287
Right here.
876
00:36:41,289 --> 00:36:44,390
Okay, if you could just
stand straight for me.
877
00:36:47,995 --> 00:36:50,162
Okay, so, on a scale
of one to ten--
878
00:36:50,164 --> 00:36:53,432
ten being the worst--
um, how does this feel?
879
00:36:53,434 --> 00:36:55,401
A little uncomfortable.
Maybe a two.
880
00:36:55,403 --> 00:36:57,603
Mm.
(baby jumping)
881
00:36:57,605 --> 00:37:00,339
And are you taking
anything for the pain?
882
00:37:00,341 --> 00:37:01,874
Uh, just naproxen.
883
00:37:01,876 --> 00:37:03,409
Yeah.
884
00:37:03,411 --> 00:37:05,644
Is the discomfort worse
at night?
885
00:37:05,646 --> 00:37:08,614
A little bit,
but the medicine helps.
886
00:37:08,616 --> 00:37:11,717
Well, for what it's worth,
I think Dr. Campbell's right.
887
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,620
You should make
a full recovery.
888
00:37:15,656 --> 00:37:18,023
In case you were
wondering, Watson,
889
00:37:18,025 --> 00:37:20,426
Mr. Abramovitch does
not have an alibi
890
00:37:20,428 --> 00:37:22,294
for the night of
Abby Campbell's murder.
891
00:37:22,296 --> 00:37:25,064
I don't think he did it.
Neither do I.
892
00:37:25,066 --> 00:37:27,800
But that's because I stayed for
the duration of his interview,
893
00:37:27,802 --> 00:37:30,002
and I saw no indication
that he was lying.
894
00:37:30,004 --> 00:37:32,404
Why do you think
he's innocent?
895
00:37:32,406 --> 00:37:34,840
Because I'm pretty sure
I know who did kill Abby.
896
00:37:34,842 --> 00:37:36,408
You do?
897
00:37:36,410 --> 00:37:37,876
It all made sense
once I realized
898
00:37:37,878 --> 00:37:40,612
Sadie Abramovitch
doesn't have cancer.
899
00:37:50,158 --> 00:37:52,497
This is Sadie
Abramovitch before chemo.
900
00:37:52,597 --> 00:37:54,297
Do you recognize her?
Of course.
901
00:37:55,033 --> 00:37:56,866
It says here
that you're treating her
902
00:37:56,868 --> 00:37:58,201
for spinal plasmacytoma.
903
00:37:58,203 --> 00:38:00,737
The tumor is located
on her L4 vertebra.
904
00:38:00,739 --> 00:38:02,839
That sounds right.
905
00:38:02,841 --> 00:38:04,274
She's doing quite well.
906
00:38:04,276 --> 00:38:06,342
We're hoping
for a complete remission.
907
00:38:06,344 --> 00:38:07,911
You should know
908
00:38:07,913 --> 00:38:09,546
that when we visited
Mrs. Abramovitch,
909
00:38:09,548 --> 00:38:11,247
my colleague noted
several inconsistencies
910
00:38:11,249 --> 00:38:14,017
with her diagnosis.
Spinal plasmacytoma
911
00:38:14,019 --> 00:38:16,886
causes microfractures
in the affected vertebrae.
912
00:38:16,888 --> 00:38:18,822
Most patients can barely walk.
913
00:38:18,824 --> 00:38:21,524
Sadie can move around just fine,
sit, stand, walk.
914
00:38:21,526 --> 00:38:23,426
Lift her baby.
No issues.
915
00:38:23,428 --> 00:38:25,528
We diagnosed Sadie
very early on,
916
00:38:25,530 --> 00:38:27,497
so, the microfractures
917
00:38:27,499 --> 00:38:29,599
didn't have time
to fully develop.
918
00:38:29,601 --> 00:38:32,135
Hmm. And you never
removed the tumor?
919
00:38:32,137 --> 00:38:33,937
No. Too much nerve involvement.
920
00:38:33,939 --> 00:38:36,339
WATSON:
That makes sense.
921
00:38:36,341 --> 00:38:38,308
Except when I pressed
directly on her L4,
922
00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:40,276
instead of a sharp pain,
923
00:38:40,278 --> 00:38:42,178
she only felt a dull ache.
924
00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:44,147
And her discomfort gets worse
at night,
925
00:38:44,149 --> 00:38:48,151
which is a classic symptom
of a benign osteoid osteoma.
926
00:38:48,153 --> 00:38:50,520
I stand by my diagnosis.
927
00:38:50,522 --> 00:38:51,855
MAN:
Excuse me,
928
00:38:51,857 --> 00:38:53,256
but my client agreed
to this interview
929
00:38:53,258 --> 00:38:54,624
in order to help you
930
00:38:54,626 --> 00:38:56,092
find his wife's killer.
931
00:38:56,094 --> 00:38:58,328
Now, I fail to see
how a possible misdiagnosis
932
00:38:58,330 --> 00:39:00,463
of one his patients has
933
00:39:00,465 --> 00:39:03,900
any relevance.
One misdiagnosis would not.
934
00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:07,370
Several dozen,
however,
935
00:39:07,372 --> 00:39:10,106
tell an entirely
different story.
936
00:39:10,108 --> 00:39:12,842
BELL: After we got a warrant for
your files the other day,
937
00:39:12,844 --> 00:39:15,345
we asked all your patients
to get follow-up exams.
938
00:39:15,347 --> 00:39:17,313
Of those who agreed
to be tested,
939
00:39:17,315 --> 00:39:19,782
almost a third didn't
have cancer at all.
940
00:39:19,784 --> 00:39:21,718
HOLMES: You've been
misdiagnosing patients,
941
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:23,419
and you've been
subjecting them
942
00:39:23,421 --> 00:39:27,056
to unnecessary chemotherapy,
probably for years,
943
00:39:27,058 --> 00:39:30,226
to-- I don't know--
bolster your profits,
944
00:39:30,228 --> 00:39:32,095
inflate your remission rates?
945
00:39:32,097 --> 00:39:34,931
And no one suspected you.
946
00:39:34,933 --> 00:39:37,667
Until your own wife got cancer.
947
00:39:37,669 --> 00:39:39,269
We figure Abby noticed
something fishy
948
00:39:39,271 --> 00:39:41,337
when she was getting
chemo at your clinic.
949
00:39:41,339 --> 00:39:42,839
Patients like Sadie,
950
00:39:42,841 --> 00:39:44,507
whose symptoms didn't
match their diagnoses.
951
00:39:44,509 --> 00:39:47,243
But she wanted proof,
so she ran tests.
952
00:39:47,245 --> 00:39:49,045
HOLMES:
Her mistake
953
00:39:49,047 --> 00:39:50,780
was confronting you
with the evidence
954
00:39:50,782 --> 00:39:52,949
of your misdeeds
before going to the authorities.
955
00:39:52,951 --> 00:39:56,119
Perhaps she thought you'd be
able to explain yourself.
956
00:39:56,121 --> 00:39:59,422
But instead, you strangled her.
957
00:39:59,424 --> 00:40:01,691
Do I need to point out,
this is all supposition?
958
00:40:01,693 --> 00:40:03,660
Nah, it's more
than that.
959
00:40:03,662 --> 00:40:06,162
We had a talk with
your clinic manager.
960
00:40:06,164 --> 00:40:10,400
She rolled, confirmed
the false diagnoses,
961
00:40:10,402 --> 00:40:11,868
the fraud,
the whole thing.
962
00:40:11,870 --> 00:40:13,436
She also recanted
your alibi.
963
00:40:13,438 --> 00:40:15,705
In fact, the last
time she saw you
964
00:40:15,707 --> 00:40:17,807
the night that
Abby disappeared,
965
00:40:17,809 --> 00:40:19,676
you were headed
to the research wing
966
00:40:19,678 --> 00:40:22,345
right after a heated
phone call with Abby.
967
00:40:25,884 --> 00:40:28,251
I told her...
968
00:40:28,253 --> 00:40:31,854
that everything I did was
for the good of the family.
969
00:40:31,856 --> 00:40:34,190
Nate?
No, no, no. I'll...
970
00:40:36,294 --> 00:40:37,894
I'll tell you everything,
971
00:40:37,896 --> 00:40:40,597
but you need to let me talk
to Branford.
972
00:40:42,067 --> 00:40:45,435
I need to tell him I'm sorry.
973
00:40:46,404 --> 00:40:48,671
I'll see what
I can do.
974
00:40:54,212 --> 00:40:56,879
Good combination.
975
00:40:58,016 --> 00:41:00,416
(sighs)
976
00:41:00,418 --> 00:41:02,485
Third time you've approached me.
977
00:41:02,487 --> 00:41:04,988
If you're smart,
there won't be a fourth.
978
00:41:04,990 --> 00:41:08,024
Actually, a fourth time is what
I wanted to talk to you about.
979
00:41:08,026 --> 00:41:10,893
The NYPD Boxing Club is having
a match in a few weeks.
980
00:41:10,895 --> 00:41:13,396
I thought maybe we could
raise some money for charity.
981
00:41:13,398 --> 00:41:15,398
You want to fight me?
982
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,533
That's how it
done, right?
983
00:41:17,535 --> 00:41:19,068
When two cops have a
problem with each other
984
00:41:19,070 --> 00:41:20,503
and they can't resolve it?
985
00:41:20,505 --> 00:41:23,006
Yeah, the only problem is,
you're not a cop.
986
00:41:23,008 --> 00:41:25,008
And that would be
bad for you, right?
987
00:41:25,010 --> 00:41:27,777
Getting your ass
kicked by a consultant?
988
00:41:27,779 --> 00:41:29,612
(laughs)
989
00:41:29,614 --> 00:41:32,281
If you want to fight me
so bad, why wait?
990
00:41:32,283 --> 00:41:33,883
There's a ring right there.
991
00:41:33,885 --> 00:41:38,921
Yeah, I thought that's
what you might say.
992
00:41:38,923 --> 00:41:41,157
All right.
993
00:41:50,068 --> 00:41:52,535
HOLMES: Keep them submerged
as long as you can.
994
00:41:52,537 --> 00:41:54,771
I know how to treat
sore knuckles.
995
00:41:54,773 --> 00:41:57,073
This needs more flour.
You just like
996
00:41:57,075 --> 00:41:58,541
the parallel.
997
00:41:58,543 --> 00:42:00,176
Primitive aftercare
for a primitive sport.
998
00:42:00,178 --> 00:42:03,746
While this might look primitive,
999
00:42:03,748 --> 00:42:06,949
I assure, this is the result
1000
00:42:06,951 --> 00:42:08,718
of years
of painstaking research.
1001
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,720
It's a poultice
of comfrey leaves and flour
1002
00:42:10,722 --> 00:42:13,589
with a dash of mountain arnica
and a sprinkling of marigold.
1003
00:42:13,591 --> 00:42:14,991
I highly recommend it.
1004
00:42:14,993 --> 00:42:16,793
Unless, of course,
you want your eye
1005
00:42:16,795 --> 00:42:18,428
to blacken as a badge of honor.
1006
00:42:18,430 --> 00:42:20,997
I just want to put
this whole thing behind me.
1007
00:42:20,999 --> 00:42:23,166
And does Detective Cortes feel
the same way?
1008
00:42:23,168 --> 00:42:24,567
Oh, I guess we'll see.
1009
00:42:24,569 --> 00:42:26,202
At the very least,
1010
00:42:26,204 --> 00:42:29,272
this has proven the wisdom
of continuously training
1011
00:42:29,274 --> 00:42:31,207
in the combat arts.
1012
00:42:31,209 --> 00:42:33,509
You do, of course, need
to work on your defense.
1013
00:42:33,511 --> 00:42:35,778
You allowed Cortes to
land far too many punches.
1014
00:42:35,780 --> 00:42:37,413
I did.
1015
00:42:37,415 --> 00:42:41,210
But all that matters is
that I landed the last one.
