1
00:00:07,175 --> 00:00:09,743
You got about ten seconds
to reach a point with this
2
00:00:09,794 --> 00:00:11,883
before this water
ends up on your head.
3
00:00:11,884 --> 00:00:14,084
Describe the image I just
put on the cabinet over there.
4
00:00:14,086 --> 00:00:15,470
And I'm not allowed to move?
5
00:00:15,494 --> 00:00:17,322
You can,
but remember
6
00:00:17,323 --> 00:00:18,921
Mr. Enriquez specifically stated
7
00:00:18,923 --> 00:00:21,224
that he was walking the
punch bowl to the band shell,
8
00:00:21,226 --> 00:00:23,326
about to set it thereupon,
at the moment
9
00:00:23,328 --> 00:00:25,294
he heard the gunshots.
Also remember
10
00:00:25,296 --> 00:00:27,330
there was no evidence
of spilled sangria--
11
00:00:27,332 --> 00:00:29,532
as would happen if someone in
your position abruptly turned--
12
00:00:29,534 --> 00:00:31,033
found at the scene.
13
00:00:32,637 --> 00:00:34,337
There's no way Enriquez
saw the shooter.
14
00:00:34,339 --> 00:00:36,239
His statement's a lie.
15
00:00:36,241 --> 00:00:37,806
Think he's covering
for someone?
16
00:00:37,808 --> 00:00:39,775
If by “someone”
you mean “himself.”
17
00:00:39,777 --> 00:00:41,844
In the course of your
investigation you discovered
18
00:00:41,846 --> 00:00:44,013
that the victim was
a wanted wildlife trafficker.
19
00:00:44,015 --> 00:00:45,614
Wanted, most notably,
for smuggling
20
00:00:45,616 --> 00:00:48,117
rare Galápagos iguanas
out of Ecuador.
21
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:50,920
Mr. Enriquez
is from Ecuador.
22
00:00:50,922 --> 00:00:53,689
And in these photographs,
from the day of the murder,
23
00:00:53,691 --> 00:00:55,791
I saw multiple scars
on his arms
24
00:00:55,793 --> 00:00:58,761
consistent with those
of Galápagos iguana bites.
25
00:00:58,763 --> 00:01:01,597
Trust me when I say
I know of what I speak.
26
00:01:01,599 --> 00:01:04,566
You think this was
some kind of business dispute?
27
00:01:04,568 --> 00:01:06,334
I think that in light of
Mr. Enriquez's false statement
28
00:01:06,336 --> 00:01:07,803
he's worth a second look.
29
00:01:11,441 --> 00:01:14,209
A poop emoji?
30
00:01:14,211 --> 00:01:16,411
Oh, I thought
it was ice cream.
31
00:01:21,785 --> 00:01:24,052
That's Deputy Chief Prosky,
isn't it?
32
00:01:24,054 --> 00:01:25,986
That's him.
33
00:01:25,988 --> 00:01:27,354
He's the captain's boss,
isn't he?
34
00:01:27,356 --> 00:01:29,290
Is there a... problem?
35
00:01:29,292 --> 00:01:31,759
Technically,
he's the captain's boss' boss,
36
00:01:31,761 --> 00:01:34,261
which means he's my
boss' boss' boss,
37
00:01:34,263 --> 00:01:37,097
which means I'm gonna
mind my own business.
38
00:01:37,099 --> 00:01:39,767
But thanks, now that I know
you think something's wrong,
39
00:01:39,769 --> 00:01:42,702
I'm gonna be worrying, too.
I'm gonna go spill this out.
40
00:01:42,704 --> 00:01:46,373
You should take down your “ice
cream” before Prosky sees it.
41
00:01:53,515 --> 00:01:56,685
No, no, no, no,
I'm not calming down!
42
00:01:56,686 --> 00:01:57,781
Our place is trashed!
43
00:01:57,805 --> 00:01:59,454
Len, keep your voice
down. Let her talk.
44
00:01:59,455 --> 00:02:00,921
We'll take care
of everything, I promise.
45
00:02:00,923 --> 00:02:02,622
It's in your contract.
46
00:02:02,624 --> 00:02:05,191
I told you we did not need
renters, okay? We should have
47
00:02:05,193 --> 00:02:06,693
paid for a house sitter.
AwayKay carries insurance
48
00:02:06,695 --> 00:02:08,662
for just such situations.
49
00:02:08,664 --> 00:02:11,364
Guests we paired you with
did all this damage,
50
00:02:11,366 --> 00:02:13,533
so we'll cover all the costs.
Oh, really?
51
00:02:13,535 --> 00:02:15,234
You see this rug?
It's an antique.
52
00:02:15,236 --> 00:02:17,203
Are they gonna give me
50 grand for it?
53
00:02:17,205 --> 00:02:19,305
No, that's what I thought.
Look, I'm calling the cops,
54
00:02:19,307 --> 00:02:21,040
because this is vandalism.
AwayKaying
55
00:02:21,042 --> 00:02:23,242
is against the co-op charter.
They could throw us out.
56
00:02:23,244 --> 00:02:23,891
And you knew that?
57
00:02:23,915 --> 00:02:26,072
It was 11 grand
a month, Len.
58
00:02:26,814 --> 00:02:28,314
Now, what the hell?
59
00:02:29,884 --> 00:02:32,050
What the hell is this,
a fireplace poker or something?
60
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:33,686
What were they doing in here?
61
00:02:33,688 --> 00:02:35,354
Wait, before you pull
that out, let me get a photo
62
00:02:35,356 --> 00:02:36,586
for the insurance.
63
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:37,432
That's in there pretty tight.
64
00:02:37,433 --> 00:02:38,972
Len, will you
stop it?
65
00:02:38,973 --> 00:02:40,004
Now, honey,
could you get my tools?
66
00:02:40,028 --> 00:02:41,335
You're gonna break the wall.
67
00:02:41,336 --> 00:02:44,404
What is in there?
68
00:02:44,406 --> 00:02:46,873
You're not getting that
out of the wall, so...
69
00:02:48,276 --> 00:02:50,242
Len, stop it!
70
00:02:50,244 --> 00:02:51,808
Stop it, please.

You are right, we did.
75
00:03:42,374 --> 00:03:44,675
So, why the trip
down memory lane?
76
00:03:44,677 --> 00:03:47,244
Last night while I was at the
precinct I observed the captain
77
00:03:47,246 --> 00:03:50,947
in a closed-door meeting with
a superior officer. I could see
78
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:52,983
they were reviewing
a number of closed cases.
79
00:03:52,985 --> 00:03:55,652
I checked the file room to see
which files had been pulled, and
80
00:03:55,654 --> 00:03:58,088
voilà-- our cases.
81
00:03:58,090 --> 00:04:00,857
Or, rather, a curious
number of them.
82
00:04:00,859 --> 00:04:02,692
Okay.
83
00:04:02,694 --> 00:04:04,528
I'm attempting to determine
why they were
84
00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:05,795
looking at these
particular files
85
00:04:05,797 --> 00:04:07,263
and what they were discussing.
86
00:04:07,265 --> 00:04:10,000
Are we in hot water again?
Has Internal Affairs
87
00:04:10,002 --> 00:04:12,702
turned its Orwellian eye
on us once more?
88
00:04:12,704 --> 00:04:13,970
So what if they have?
89
00:04:13,972 --> 00:04:15,805
We've weathered
the storm before.
90
00:04:15,807 --> 00:04:18,008
It's not like we've
broken any rules lately.
91
00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:19,609
Well, any more than usual.
It's true.
92
00:04:19,611 --> 00:04:21,210
But wouldn't you rather know
what kind of attack
93
00:04:21,212 --> 00:04:22,879
we have to defend ourselves
against?
94
00:04:22,881 --> 00:04:24,413
It could also be nothing.
95
00:04:24,415 --> 00:04:25,914
How could it be nothing?
96
00:04:25,916 --> 00:04:27,916
Just because those
weren't in the file room
97
00:04:27,918 --> 00:04:30,886
doesn't mean that they're the
ones that they're looking at.
98
00:04:30,888 --> 00:04:33,689
And whatever it is,
the captain's got our back.
99
00:04:33,691 --> 00:04:36,025
So if it's something
he thinks that we need to know,
100
00:04:36,027 --> 00:04:37,726
he'll tell us.
I'm gonna make some breakfast.
101
00:04:37,728 --> 00:04:39,228
Do you want anything?
102
00:04:39,230 --> 00:04:41,730
It's Marcus.
103
00:04:41,732 --> 00:04:43,899
Hello?
104
00:04:43,901 --> 00:04:45,668
Yes, we'll be right there.
105
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:47,536
Well, at least we know we
haven't been benched just yet.
106
00:04:47,538 --> 00:04:50,305
Make it breakfast
to go, Watson.
107
00:04:56,446 --> 00:04:58,647
Victim's name is Russell Cole.
108
00:04:58,649 --> 00:05:00,282
He owned this apartment.
Super found him.
109
00:05:00,284 --> 00:05:01,749
Mr. Cole worked
110
00:05:01,751 --> 00:05:05,053
for Barrett White Capital,
an investment firm.
111
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:07,189
He was a quant--
quantitative analyst.
112
00:05:07,191 --> 00:05:09,524
Deep math guy. They use
complicated formulas
113
00:05:09,526 --> 00:05:11,459
to analyze companies
and then make
114
00:05:11,461 --> 00:05:13,695
investment
recommendations.
115
00:05:13,697 --> 00:05:15,629
No sign of forced entry.
116
00:05:15,631 --> 00:05:17,331
Looks like
there was a struggle, though.
117
00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:20,001
So, no one saw
or heard anything.
118
00:05:20,003 --> 00:05:22,103
Well, the folks next door
had some noisy AwayKayers.
119
00:05:22,105 --> 00:05:23,571
They'd moved on,
120
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,306
but the other neighbors
didn't know that,
121
00:05:25,308 --> 00:05:28,509
so a few extra crashes
and bangs were just ignored.
122
00:05:28,511 --> 00:05:30,244
Plus everyone thought
Cole was out of town.
123
00:05:30,246 --> 00:05:32,079
They said they hadn't
seen him in weeks.
124
00:05:32,081 --> 00:05:34,815
Overnight bag by the door
is full of clothes.
125
00:05:34,817 --> 00:05:36,617
He must have just come home.
126
00:05:36,619 --> 00:05:38,952
Anyway, nobody shows up
planning to commit a murder
127
00:05:38,954 --> 00:05:41,222
with a fireplace poker, so
128
00:05:41,224 --> 00:05:43,090
I'm thinking this wasn't
premeditated.
129
00:05:43,092 --> 00:05:44,825
Cole let the person in,
so maybe
130
00:05:44,827 --> 00:05:46,893
they knew each other
and for whatever reason,
131
00:05:46,895 --> 00:05:48,261
things turned ugly.
132
00:05:48,263 --> 00:05:50,130
You're incorrect.
133
00:05:50,966 --> 00:05:53,233
About it not being premeditated.
134
00:05:54,837 --> 00:05:58,671
The killer came armed with this.
135
00:05:58,673 --> 00:06:00,673
It's a textured grip,
so it might be hard
136
00:06:00,675 --> 00:06:03,409
to get prints,
but it's worth a try.
137
00:06:03,411 --> 00:06:04,877
Magazine isn't seated properly.
138
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:07,012
That weapon
would have failed to fire.
139
00:06:08,750 --> 00:06:10,816
Well, how'd you know
to look under there?
140
00:06:10,818 --> 00:06:13,319
As you said, no one plans
to commit a murder this way,
141
00:06:13,321 --> 00:06:16,422
and yet the specificity of the
crime suggests it was planned.
142
00:06:16,424 --> 00:06:18,458
And that raises
another possible scenario:
143
00:06:18,460 --> 00:06:20,459
the killer came better armed.
144
00:06:20,461 --> 00:06:22,928
A fight ensued,
he or she was disarmed
145
00:06:22,930 --> 00:06:25,330
before grabbing the poker
to finish the job.
146
00:06:25,332 --> 00:06:26,866
What specificity?
147
00:06:26,868 --> 00:06:29,201
Timing of the attack.
148
00:06:29,203 --> 00:06:31,003
Just as Mr. Cole gets home.
149
00:06:31,005 --> 00:06:32,805
Plus the fact that,
by appearances,
150
00:06:32,807 --> 00:06:34,339
the only other thing missing
151
00:06:34,341 --> 00:06:36,675
is his laptop.
152
00:06:36,677 --> 00:06:39,411
This bag is dusty,
bleached by the sun,
153
00:06:39,413 --> 00:06:40,979
apart from this area here.
154
00:06:40,981 --> 00:06:44,916
Now, this bag comes with
a removable laptop sleeve.
155
00:06:44,918 --> 00:06:47,719
It sits right there.
So, if his laptop is missing,
156
00:06:47,721 --> 00:06:49,588
perhaps the killer has it.
157
00:06:49,590 --> 00:06:51,890
Well, we haven't found it yet.
158
00:06:54,161 --> 00:06:56,294
Captain wants me
to stop by for a word,
159
00:06:56,296 --> 00:06:58,696
as one does when one
wants to discuss nothing.
160
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:02,801
Cole was a Wall Street analyst.
His laptop could have contained
161
00:07:02,803 --> 00:07:04,669
a lot of things
worth killing over--
162
00:07:04,671 --> 00:07:06,938
insider information,
proof of a financial crime.
163
00:07:06,940 --> 00:07:08,539
Well, you go talk
164
00:07:08,541 --> 00:07:10,474
to the captain, we'll
go to Cole's office,
165
00:07:10,476 --> 00:07:13,177
see if we can find out
what he was working on.
166
00:07:13,179 --> 00:07:15,379
Oh, my God.
167
00:07:17,283 --> 00:07:19,417
This is horrible.
168
00:07:19,419 --> 00:07:21,319
Were you and Mr. Cole close?
169
00:07:21,321 --> 00:07:23,053
Oh, Russell didn't
just work for me.
170
00:07:23,055 --> 00:07:25,022
He was family.
171
00:07:25,024 --> 00:07:27,357
He started here
right out of school.
172
00:07:27,359 --> 00:07:28,859
Can you think of any reason
173
00:07:28,861 --> 00:07:30,794
someone might have
wanted to kill him?
174
00:07:30,796 --> 00:07:34,231
I... I mean, people
get angry at us all the time.
175
00:07:34,233 --> 00:07:37,067
Threaten us.
We give a company a poor rating,
176
00:07:37,069 --> 00:07:39,536
millions of dollars disappear.
But...
177
00:07:39,538 --> 00:07:41,238
nothing like this.
178
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,406
Was there anything that Russell
was working on in particular
179
00:07:43,408 --> 00:07:45,208
that might have aroused threats?
180
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:48,511
I'm sorry, you seem pretty sure
he was killed because of work.
181
00:07:48,513 --> 00:07:49,363
Is there a reason?
182
00:07:49,387 --> 00:07:51,248
We think a laptop
was taken
183
00:07:51,249 --> 00:07:53,916
from his apartment.
Could be whatever he had on it
184
00:07:53,918 --> 00:07:55,485
is what the person was after.
185
00:07:55,487 --> 00:07:56,953
Well,
the truth is
186
00:07:56,955 --> 00:07:59,722
I have no idea
what he was working on.
187
00:07:59,724 --> 00:08:03,459
Russell specialized in tech,
medicine, I.T.,
188
00:08:03,461 --> 00:08:05,995
aerospace,
but as to what he was into
189
00:08:05,997 --> 00:08:09,631
at any given moment, I...
190
00:08:09,633 --> 00:08:11,567
He was my mad genius.
191
00:08:11,569 --> 00:08:14,203
He'd beat the bushes on his
own, look for opportunities
192
00:08:14,205 --> 00:08:16,705
no one else saw.
Go off somewhere private,
193
00:08:16,707 --> 00:08:19,475
deep dive
into a company's numbers.
194
00:08:19,477 --> 00:08:20,942
I gave him a long leash
195
00:08:20,944 --> 00:08:23,278
because he always
came back with gold.
196
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,946
Was he on
one of these deep dives
197
00:08:24,948 --> 00:08:26,382
the last few weeks?
198
00:08:26,384 --> 00:08:28,384
His neighbors
said he hadn't been home.
199
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:30,986
Any idea
where he went?
200
00:08:30,988 --> 00:08:32,553
No clue.
201
00:08:32,555 --> 00:08:36,258
Oh. My wife
is gonna be devastated.
202
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:37,859
Is that her?
203
00:08:39,629 --> 00:08:42,197
Laurie. She won a trip
to Maui in some
204
00:08:42,199 --> 00:08:44,900
charity thing.
She took a girlfriend.
205
00:08:44,902 --> 00:08:46,935
I want to help any way I can.
What do you need?
206
00:08:46,937 --> 00:08:49,537
Well, we'd like
to go through Mr. Cole's office,
207
00:08:49,539 --> 00:08:52,039
see if can figure out what he's
been working on. We'd also
208
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:54,255
like access to his e-mails
and correspondence so we could
209
00:08:54,256 --> 00:08:55,256
look for
any threats.
210
00:08:55,346 --> 00:08:57,845
I'll walk you
over there myself.
211
00:09:01,518 --> 00:09:04,318
Oh, oh... come in.
212
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Sit down.
213
00:09:06,522 --> 00:09:08,122
Should I be concerned?
214
00:09:08,124 --> 00:09:11,425
Relax. I had a hunch
you picked up a vibe last night
215
00:09:11,427 --> 00:09:13,493
and I didn't want you
in your head about it.
216
00:09:13,495 --> 00:09:16,897
The meeting that you saw--
it wasn't, uh, what you think.
217
00:09:16,899 --> 00:09:19,766
Well, I haven't decided
what I think, but go on.
218
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:22,536
Did you ever hear of,
uh, Medal Day?
219
00:09:22,538 --> 00:09:24,905
Mm-hmm. Annual NYPD tradition.
220
00:09:24,907 --> 00:09:27,073
The, uh, mayor and the police
commissioner give out medals
221
00:09:27,075 --> 00:09:28,809
to officers for valor,
distinguished service.
222
00:09:28,811 --> 00:09:30,143
Not to mention purple shields
223
00:09:30,145 --> 00:09:32,412
for those injured
in the line of duty.
224
00:09:32,414 --> 00:09:34,681
They also give out something
called a unit citation
225
00:09:34,683 --> 00:09:37,250
to squads that have done
exemplary work,
226
00:09:37,252 --> 00:09:41,321
and this year they're
giving one out to Major Case.
227
00:09:41,323 --> 00:09:43,456
The ceremony's in a few days.
228
00:09:43,458 --> 00:09:45,591
Well, that's well deserved.
Congratulations.
229
00:09:45,593 --> 00:09:47,593
I wasn't gonna say anything
to you and Joan
230
00:09:47,595 --> 00:09:49,963
because it still
might not happen, but
231
00:09:49,965 --> 00:09:52,832
civilian employees
are included in the award,
232
00:09:52,834 --> 00:09:55,835
and I want your names
on the list.
233
00:09:55,837 --> 00:09:58,303
It isn't money or anything,
you'd just
234
00:09:58,305 --> 00:10:00,105
be part of the department's
official record
235
00:10:00,107 --> 00:10:02,341
and you'd each
get a certificate.
236
00:10:02,343 --> 00:10:04,042
Something to hang
on the wall.
237
00:10:04,044 --> 00:10:05,644
I see.
238
00:10:05,646 --> 00:10:08,781
I have been getting
some resistance.
239
00:10:08,783 --> 00:10:10,983
I thought you should
know about it.
240
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:18,357
Mrs. Barrett.
Oh.
241
00:10:18,359 --> 00:10:20,292
I don't mean to startle
you. I'm Joan Watson.
242
00:10:20,294 --> 00:10:21,860
I work with the police.
243
00:10:21,862 --> 00:10:24,329
I'm investigating the
murder of Russell Cole.
244
00:10:25,899 --> 00:10:27,866
Yes, my husband told me.
245
00:10:27,868 --> 00:10:31,068
Your husband has a photo
in his office of you at a luau.
246
00:10:31,070 --> 00:10:32,804
I noticed
247
00:10:32,806 --> 00:10:35,673
there was something blocking
the lens in one corner.
248
00:10:35,675 --> 00:10:37,675
I had an idea what it was,
so I looked into it.
249
00:10:37,677 --> 00:10:39,978
That picture was taken
on Russell's phone.
250
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:42,780
His case was broken,
and a piece of plastic
251
00:10:42,782 --> 00:10:44,715
was sticking out
over the camera.
252
00:10:44,717 --> 00:10:47,651
Police thought it had been
damaged during the murder.
253
00:10:47,653 --> 00:10:50,354
But then I remembered seeing
a picture at his place
254
00:10:50,356 --> 00:10:52,623
with the same obstruction.
255
00:10:52,625 --> 00:10:55,026
So the case had been
broken for some time.
256
00:10:55,028 --> 00:10:57,428
Russell was the friend
you took to Maui.
257
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:59,930
You were having an affair.
And considering your husband
258
00:10:59,932 --> 00:11:01,965
has a memento from the trip,
I'm guessing he doesn't know.
259
00:11:01,967 --> 00:11:03,934
No, he-he doesn't.
260
00:11:03,936 --> 00:11:07,938
And I swear, I had nothing to do
with what happened to Russell.
261
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:11,408
I'm a wreck about it.
Right now you're not a suspect.
262
00:11:11,410 --> 00:11:14,945
But I need some information from
you-- we're trying to find out
263
00:11:14,947 --> 00:11:16,946
where Russell had been staying
the last few weeks.
264
00:11:16,948 --> 00:11:19,815
Police checked his car
and his credit cards.
265
00:11:19,817 --> 00:11:21,617
They're pretty sure that
he didn't drive too far outside
266
00:11:21,619 --> 00:11:24,187
the city. Now, you went
all the way to Maui with him.
267
00:11:24,189 --> 00:11:26,822
So I thought maybe
he'd taken you to the place
268
00:11:26,824 --> 00:11:28,191
where he does his deep dives.
269
00:11:28,193 --> 00:11:30,527
He has a...
270
00:11:30,529 --> 00:11:34,296
a cabin near Bear Mountain.
271
00:11:34,298 --> 00:11:36,465
It's about
an hour upstate.
272
00:11:41,238 --> 00:11:43,639
Copious amounts
of poison ivy around.
273
00:11:43,641 --> 00:11:44,840
Watch your step.
274
00:11:44,842 --> 00:11:46,742
How'd you get here
before us?
275
00:11:46,744 --> 00:11:49,378
You'll recall I know the owner
of a helicopter company.
276
00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:50,712
There was one going this way.
277
00:11:50,714 --> 00:11:52,013
I hitched a ride.
278
00:11:52,015 --> 00:11:54,283
You been inside?
No.
279
00:11:54,285 --> 00:11:55,884
I just got here
a short while ago.
280
00:11:55,886 --> 00:11:58,053
Plenty to keep me occupied
out here.
281
00:11:58,055 --> 00:12:02,157
So, only one vehicle has
left recent tire tracks.
282
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,159
The tread matches that
of Russell Cole's.
283
00:12:04,161 --> 00:12:07,228
And, likewise, the only recent
footprints are his.
284
00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:09,698
So he was here, and he
didn't have any visitors.
285
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:12,333
Guess he didn't like mixing
business with pleasure.
286
00:12:12,335 --> 00:12:16,871
I mean, besides sleeping
with the boss' wife.
287
00:12:33,156 --> 00:12:37,057
I'm no expert,
but this doesn't look financial.
288
00:12:37,059 --> 00:12:39,026
More like science.
289
00:12:39,028 --> 00:12:41,762
Stuff about
masses and radii
290
00:12:41,764 --> 00:12:43,430
and reflection
coefficients.
291
00:12:43,432 --> 00:12:46,066
You're right.
292
00:12:46,068 --> 00:12:48,368
These are physics equations.
293
00:12:48,370 --> 00:12:50,137
Astronomy, to be exact.
294
00:12:56,378 --> 00:12:59,446
Okay, so Cole was
up here stargazing.
295
00:12:59,448 --> 00:13:01,714
What does any of this have
to do with Wall Street?
296
00:13:01,716 --> 00:13:04,184
That's difficult to say.
297
00:13:04,186 --> 00:13:06,819
But I do think I understand
what he was killed over.
298
00:13:06,821 --> 00:13:10,223
Nothing less than the fate
of life on Earth.
299
00:13:17,706 --> 00:13:20,089
So, all these dots
300
00:13:20,189 --> 00:13:21,255
are asteroids?
301
00:13:21,257 --> 00:13:22,622
An approximation
of them, yes.
302
00:13:22,624 --> 00:13:24,491
Not all asteroids in existence,
of course.
303
00:13:24,493 --> 00:13:26,727
Obviously, there are hundreds
of millions of those.
304
00:13:26,729 --> 00:13:28,127
These are the 5,000 or so
305
00:13:28,129 --> 00:13:30,764
that NASA has deemed
potentially hazardous,
306
00:13:30,766 --> 00:13:32,932
those whose
orbits intersect
307
00:13:32,934 --> 00:13:34,968
with the Earth's
and therefore pose a threat
308
00:13:34,970 --> 00:13:36,503
of cataclysmic collision.
309
00:13:36,505 --> 00:13:38,137
Such a collision wiped out
the dinosaurs,
310
00:13:38,139 --> 00:13:39,973
along with most other life
at the time.
311
00:13:39,975 --> 00:13:43,343
Any one of these dots could
represent the next such event,
312
00:13:43,345 --> 00:13:46,179
which would be the last event
in human history.
313
00:13:46,181 --> 00:13:48,414
But there are only 5,000
of them,
314
00:13:48,416 --> 00:13:50,549
so that's reassuring.
315
00:13:50,551 --> 00:13:52,618
Emphasis
on “potentially” hazardous.
316
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:54,988
But brace yourself, because
that existential knot of terror
317
00:13:54,990 --> 00:13:57,523
you're feeling in your stomach
is about to grow tighter.
318
00:13:57,525 --> 00:13:58,724
A week ago,
Cole submitted
319
00:13:58,726 --> 00:14:00,125
a paper to a science blog,
320
00:14:00,127 --> 00:14:01,827
saying that he believed
the whole way
321
00:14:01,829 --> 00:14:03,496
we're looking for asteroids
is wrong.
322
00:14:03,498 --> 00:14:06,432
“Miscalculating
Near-Earth Asteroids
323
00:14:06,434 --> 00:14:08,216
and the Threat
to Human Existence”?
324
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:08,935
He wrote
325
00:14:08,936 --> 00:14:11,169
that scientists have detected
thousands of new asteroids
326
00:14:11,171 --> 00:14:12,571
in the last few years.
327
00:14:12,573 --> 00:14:14,172
But according to him,
328
00:14:14,174 --> 00:14:16,775
our measurements of their sizes
are useless.
329
00:14:16,777 --> 00:14:18,410
And when it comes
to protecting the human race
330
00:14:18,412 --> 00:14:21,513
from an extinction-level impact,
obviously size matters.
331
00:14:21,515 --> 00:14:24,049
It's not just enough to know
that an asteroid is there.
332
00:14:24,051 --> 00:14:26,651
We need to know
which ones are the big ones.
333
00:14:26,653 --> 00:14:28,887
So that, what,
Bruce Willis can go nuke it?
334
00:14:28,889 --> 00:14:31,523
Surprisingly, yes.
We've been reading up
335
00:14:31,525 --> 00:14:33,758
on this stuff today--
there are proposals in the works
336
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,693
to send rockets to asteroids,
337
00:14:35,695 --> 00:14:37,862
to nudge them
or even blow them up.
338
00:14:37,864 --> 00:14:39,697
So was
Cole right?
339
00:14:39,699 --> 00:14:41,433
Are we measuring them wrong?
340
00:14:41,435 --> 00:14:43,234
No idea.
Do we have
341
00:14:43,236 --> 00:14:44,769
any idea why a Wall Street guy
342
00:14:44,771 --> 00:14:46,838
was studying this stuff
in the first place?
343
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,806
We don't.
344
00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:49,777
So where does
all this put us?
345
00:14:49,875 --> 00:14:52,209
Sounds like you're not even sure
this is what got him killed,
346
00:14:52,211 --> 00:14:53,978
let alone why.
347
00:14:53,980 --> 00:14:57,048
The technical minutiae of the
paper are beyond my expertise.
348
00:14:57,050 --> 00:14:59,050
I'm at something of a loss.
349
00:14:59,052 --> 00:15:00,851
But...?
Well, there's an expert
350
00:15:00,853 --> 00:15:02,954
in the field
I consult from time to time.
351
00:15:02,956 --> 00:15:05,923
But doing so
is never really my first choice.
352
00:15:05,925 --> 00:15:08,058
Well, I'm gonna make it easy
for you. Do it.
353
00:15:08,060 --> 00:15:09,693
And not just to solve
this murder.
354
00:15:09,695 --> 00:15:12,262
If the world is
coming to an end,
355
00:15:12,264 --> 00:15:14,598
I want to know about it.
356
00:15:16,836 --> 00:15:19,336
We scientists estimate
that our universe
357
00:15:19,338 --> 00:15:21,838
is 14 billion years old.
358
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,739
Ever wonder how we know?
359
00:15:23,741 --> 00:15:26,276
Actually, in a number of ways.
360
00:15:26,278 --> 00:15:28,678
One of them is by measuring the
radiation that's left over...
361
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,448
“Julius Kent,
'Ambassador to the Cosmos.'”
362
00:15:31,450 --> 00:15:33,259
He's on TV all the time.
He's famous.
363
00:15:33,283 --> 00:15:33,717
Yep.
364
00:15:33,718 --> 00:15:35,585
Celebrity astronomer.
Because apparently the world
365
00:15:35,587 --> 00:15:38,220
needs science explained to it
with jazz hands.
366
00:15:38,222 --> 00:15:39,922
We were at boarding school
together.
367
00:15:39,924 --> 00:15:43,292
He was every bit the blowhard
then that he is now.
368
00:15:43,294 --> 00:15:45,795
Ten years ago, he helped me
time a break-in to coincide
369
00:15:45,797 --> 00:15:47,396
with a solar flare.
370
00:15:47,398 --> 00:15:49,431
The radio interference
enabled me to avoid detection.
371
00:15:49,433 --> 00:15:50,531
It was good.
372
00:15:50,555 --> 00:15:51,702
So why didn't
you want to call him?
373
00:15:51,703 --> 00:15:53,969
Because every time I ask
for his help, he gloats.
374
00:15:53,971 --> 00:15:56,271
Oh, how did that conversation
with Gregson go?
375
00:15:56,273 --> 00:15:58,907
Are we fired again?
The opposite, of sorts.
376
00:15:58,909 --> 00:16:01,843
The Major Case Squad is
receiving a commendation,
377
00:16:01,845 --> 00:16:03,745
and he's lobbying
to have us included.
378
00:16:03,747 --> 00:16:05,747
Thanks to our habit of
keeping our names out
379
00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:08,450
of official reports, or at
least minimizing our roles,
380
00:16:08,452 --> 00:16:11,119
he's having trouble convincing
the honor committee.
381
00:16:11,121 --> 00:16:13,187
Well, however
it goes down,
382
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:15,123
it's nice that he's sticking
his neck out for us.
383
00:16:15,125 --> 00:16:16,625
I'd rather he didn't.
384
00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:19,728
I eschew such recognition,
Watson. You know that.
385
00:16:20,357 --> 00:16:22,857
I've reminded the captain
of such, but he's persisting.
386
00:16:22,859 --> 00:16:24,272
So I initiated other steps.
387
00:16:24,296 --> 00:16:25,427
“Other steps.”
388
00:16:25,428 --> 00:16:27,427
You know what you could do?
You could just say thank you,
389
00:16:27,429 --> 00:16:29,030
like a normal
human being.
390
00:16:29,032 --> 00:16:30,931
Sherlock.
391
00:16:30,933 --> 00:16:33,868
And this must be Joan.
392
00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:35,636
It's a pleasure.
Sherlock never said
393
00:16:35,638 --> 00:16:37,337
that you two
knew each other.
394
00:16:37,339 --> 00:16:38,639
Yes. I'm not surprised.
395
00:16:38,641 --> 00:16:40,574
My very existence seems
to embarrass him.
396
00:16:40,576 --> 00:16:42,943
You know, if it weren't for me,
our friend Sherlock
397
00:16:42,945 --> 00:16:44,711
would still think that the Sun
revolves around the Earth.
398
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:46,413
I was eight when I
made that mistake.
399
00:16:46,415 --> 00:16:48,114
You chose to wear
that vest this morning.
400
00:16:48,116 --> 00:16:50,784
It was a gift from a fan.
401
00:16:50,786 --> 00:16:52,186
How could I resist?
402
00:16:52,188 --> 00:16:53,554
With self-respect.
403
00:16:53,556 --> 00:16:55,355
So, Russell Cole
404
00:16:55,357 --> 00:16:57,224
and his Asteroid Admonition.
405
00:16:57,226 --> 00:17:00,760
Sherlock said that you were
already aware of his paper?
406
00:17:00,762 --> 00:17:02,295
It made quite a splash
in my circles.
407
00:17:02,297 --> 00:17:04,530
Come, I'll explain it to you.
408
00:17:04,532 --> 00:17:06,766
In layman's terms, of course.
409
00:17:12,574 --> 00:17:14,440
So, in a nutshell,
410
00:17:14,442 --> 00:17:18,811
asteroids are warmed by the sun.
411
00:17:18,813 --> 00:17:20,479
They're very hard to see
by conventional means,
412
00:17:20,481 --> 00:17:23,182
so instead we look
for their heat, using infrared.
413
00:17:23,184 --> 00:17:25,484
And, theoretically,
we can tell the difference
414
00:17:25,486 --> 00:17:28,221
between a large warm object
and a small one,
415
00:17:28,223 --> 00:17:30,155
i.e., the size of the asteroid.
416
00:17:30,157 --> 00:17:31,524
Makes sense so far.
417
00:17:31,526 --> 00:17:33,525
But according
to Russell Cole,
418
00:17:33,527 --> 00:17:35,260
this fails to take into account
what the asteroids
419
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:38,063
are actually made of.
Some are mostly carbon,
420
00:17:38,065 --> 00:17:40,899
others more iron, many
even contain platinum and gold.
421
00:17:40,901 --> 00:17:45,170
Which means that some asteroids
have dull, dark surfaces
422
00:17:45,172 --> 00:17:47,606
and others have
light, shiny ones.
423
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:49,708
And I'm sure even Sherlock
can tell us
424
00:17:49,710 --> 00:17:51,175
the effect that that would have.
425
00:17:51,177 --> 00:17:53,511
Dark surfaces get hotter
than light ones.
426
00:17:53,513 --> 00:17:55,547
Which,
if Cole is right,
427
00:17:55,549 --> 00:17:58,550
means that we've been seeing
asteroid sizes all wrong.
428
00:17:58,552 --> 00:18:00,352
Was he right?
429
00:18:00,354 --> 00:18:01,586
No one knows.
430
00:18:01,588 --> 00:18:02,954
Cole was a fine mathematician,
431
00:18:02,956 --> 00:18:05,557
but astrophysics
wasn't really his field.
432
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:08,525
His paper was rife with errors
and incomplete work.
433
00:18:08,527 --> 00:18:11,062
It'll take the community months
to reach a consensus.
434
00:18:11,064 --> 00:18:12,864
I'll help, of course.
435
00:18:12,866 --> 00:18:14,498
The world will sleep easier.
436
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:17,468
Cole mentioned in his paper that
he was working on a solution.
437
00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:20,404
Can you think of anyone
who would want to stop him?
438
00:18:20,406 --> 00:18:22,740
Well, naturally.
Anyone whose livelihood depends
439
00:18:22,742 --> 00:18:25,041
on the current methods
of determining asteroid size.
440
00:18:25,043 --> 00:18:28,712
Because of Cole's paper, NASA's
already shelved one proposal.
441
00:18:28,714 --> 00:18:31,248
An orbiting infrared telescope
called Piazzi.
442
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:33,216
And much of the equipment
would have been bought
443
00:18:33,218 --> 00:18:34,985
from small private companies.
444
00:18:34,987 --> 00:18:37,521
Those companies have just lost
their prime source of income.
445
00:18:37,523 --> 00:18:40,056
Maybe someone associated
with them killed Cole in anger.
446
00:18:40,058 --> 00:18:42,259
So how much money
are we talking about?
447
00:18:42,261 --> 00:18:44,294
The total budget for Piazzi?
448
00:18:44,296 --> 00:18:48,064
Around $500 million.
449
00:18:48,066 --> 00:18:51,034
You really thought the Sun
revolved around the Earth?
450
00:18:51,036 --> 00:18:52,269
I was eight.
451
00:18:52,271 --> 00:18:54,337
It's Marcus.
452
00:18:54,339 --> 00:18:55,938
Hey. We're both here.
453
00:18:55,940 --> 00:18:58,675
Just got a message about a call
that came in.
454
00:18:58,677 --> 00:19:01,243
A waitress up in New City
recognized Cole on the news.
455
00:19:01,245 --> 00:19:03,112
Said he was in her diner
a bunch of times
456
00:19:03,114 --> 00:19:04,747
over the last few weeks.
457
00:19:04,749 --> 00:19:07,417
That's a long drive
from his cabin for coffee, no?
458
00:19:07,419 --> 00:19:08,984
It's halfway between here
and Bear Mountain.
459
00:19:08,986 --> 00:19:10,420
Maybe he was meeting
someone?
460
00:19:10,422 --> 00:19:11,921
That's as good a guess as any.
461
00:19:11,923 --> 00:19:13,488
All she told the detective
who talked to her
462
00:19:13,490 --> 00:19:15,724
was she thought
Cole behaved strangely.
463
00:19:15,726 --> 00:19:18,093
I figure it's worth a drive
to check it out.
464
00:19:18,095 --> 00:19:20,262
Watson will join
you presently.
465
00:19:20,264 --> 00:19:21,483
Just me?
466
00:19:21,507 --> 00:19:23,908
A waitress who may have seen
Cole leave his cabin for meals--
467
00:19:24,001 --> 00:19:26,435
both of us checking that out
seems a little excessive.
468
00:19:26,437 --> 00:19:29,037
Thanks to Julius, we now have
a concrete theory of motive.
469
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:32,173
A dozen companies lost millions
upon the death of Piazzi.
470
00:19:32,175 --> 00:19:34,643
One of us should stay behind
and start combing through them.
471
00:19:34,645 --> 00:19:36,311
You could work
in the car, you know.
472
00:19:36,313 --> 00:19:38,747
I also have an appointment
to keep here in the city.
473
00:19:38,749 --> 00:19:41,115
♪ ♪
474
00:19:41,117 --> 00:19:42,884
That's him.
475
00:19:42,886 --> 00:19:44,886
Came in once every two
or three days,
476
00:19:44,888 --> 00:19:46,654
always right between lunch
and dinner.
477
00:19:46,656 --> 00:19:48,990
Did you ever see him meet
with anyone while he was here?
478
00:19:48,992 --> 00:19:51,092
He always ate alone,
didn't talk to anyone.
479
00:19:51,094 --> 00:19:52,760
When you called,
you mentioned some kind
480
00:19:52,762 --> 00:19:54,863
of strange behavior. Can
you tell us what you meant?
481
00:19:54,865 --> 00:19:56,630
It might be
nothing.
482
00:19:56,632 --> 00:19:58,066
But I saw he was murdered.
483
00:19:58,068 --> 00:19:59,700
And you know what the news
always says--
484
00:19:59,702 --> 00:20:01,502
see something, say something.
485
00:20:01,504 --> 00:20:05,272
He always had a laptop with him,
but he never used it in here.
486
00:20:05,274 --> 00:20:09,810
After he'd eat, he'd take it
out there to the parking lot.
487
00:20:09,812 --> 00:20:11,144
He'd do a little work on it,
488
00:20:11,146 --> 00:20:13,848
just standing over there,
by the wall,
489
00:20:13,850 --> 00:20:16,617
and then get
in his car and go.
490
00:20:16,619 --> 00:20:19,086
Customers work in here
all the time. We encourage it.
491
00:20:19,088 --> 00:20:20,854
Why'd he need to go outside?
492
00:20:20,856 --> 00:20:22,589
Maybe Cole was looking
493
00:20:22,591 --> 00:20:24,157
for a Wi-Fi signal.
494
00:20:24,159 --> 00:20:26,226
Could have been hacking
into a business,
495
00:20:26,228 --> 00:20:28,962
maybe one inside
this building.
496
00:20:28,964 --> 00:20:32,632
I don't think that's it.
497
00:20:35,804 --> 00:20:37,937
Is that a thumb drive?
498
00:20:37,939 --> 00:20:39,939
Looks like
someone drilled a hole
499
00:20:39,941 --> 00:20:42,375
so they could bury it
in the mortar.
500
00:20:42,377 --> 00:20:44,210
I think it's a dead drop.
501
00:20:44,212 --> 00:20:46,312
I've seen it done like this
before. It's so two parties
502
00:20:46,314 --> 00:20:49,649
can exchange data without
leaving a trail online.
503
00:20:49,651 --> 00:20:51,417
I don't think Cole was out
here looking for a signal.
504
00:20:51,419 --> 00:20:53,386
I think he was plugging
his laptop into that
505
00:20:53,388 --> 00:20:56,588
to get information
on and off of it.
506
00:20:56,590 --> 00:20:59,191
I think I've got
some tools in my car.
507
00:20:59,193 --> 00:21:01,160
Thank you for seeing me.
508
00:21:01,162 --> 00:21:03,296
Do I address you by the full
“Deputy Chief Prosky”,
509
00:21:03,298 --> 00:21:06,065
or just “Chief Prosky”?
Come on.
510
00:21:06,067 --> 00:21:09,835
After all Tommy Gregson has told
me about you and your partner,
511
00:21:09,837 --> 00:21:12,538
you can call me
anything you want.
512
00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:14,406
What can I do for you?
513
00:21:14,408 --> 00:21:15,841
Um, I'd like
to talk to you
514
00:21:15,843 --> 00:21:17,709
about your conversations
with Captain Gregson,
515
00:21:17,711 --> 00:21:19,277
and about Medal Day.
516
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,013
Fire away.
Well, first of all,
517
00:21:22,015 --> 00:21:24,515
I would like to say, that, uh,
I have the greatest respect
518
00:21:24,517 --> 00:21:27,218
for the men and women in blue,
and commendations for service
519
00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:29,154
are not something
I take lightly.
520
00:21:29,156 --> 00:21:32,057
No argument here.
521
00:21:32,059 --> 00:21:33,591
But, um...
522
00:21:33,593 --> 00:21:35,593
...if you don't mind,
Mr. Holmes, uh,
523
00:21:35,595 --> 00:21:37,162
let me jump in here.
524
00:21:37,164 --> 00:21:39,998
It sounds like you
know that Tommy
525
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,766
has put us in
a tough spot.
526
00:21:41,768 --> 00:21:44,101
Now, under perfect
circumstances,
527
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:48,138
including you in a Unit Citation
would be, uh...
528
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,507
Well, unorthodox.
529
00:21:49,509 --> 00:21:53,678
And on top of that,
you and Ms. Watson
530
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,181
have had your share of, uh,
controversy,
531
00:21:57,183 --> 00:21:58,682
to say the least.
532
00:21:58,684 --> 00:22:00,150
The Honor Committee
533
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:03,387
is not saying no, yet,
534
00:22:03,389 --> 00:22:05,189
but we may not be able
to square it.
535
00:22:05,191 --> 00:22:08,658
I think you'll be relieved
by what I have to say.
536
00:22:10,062 --> 00:22:13,030
Respectfully, I'd like to bow
out of consideration.
537
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:14,898
I tried to persuade
the captain
538
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:17,266
to rescind his request,
but, uh, to no avail.
539
00:22:17,268 --> 00:22:21,437
So instead, I, um, I've compiled
a list of technicalities,
540
00:22:21,439 --> 00:22:23,740
which, I think,
the department could invoke.
541
00:22:23,742 --> 00:22:25,141
Any one of them
542
00:22:25,143 --> 00:22:27,944
should compel the captain
to withdraw,
543
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:29,479
whilst keeping me out of it,
544
00:22:29,481 --> 00:22:32,948
and allowing you to tell him
that you did your best.
545
00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:35,117
Uh, boy...
546
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,320
You and your partner need to get
straight what it is you want.
547
00:22:38,322 --> 00:22:40,188
I beg your pardon?
548
00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:41,557
Your partner.
549
00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:43,458
She was all for it
when she was in here.
550
00:22:43,460 --> 00:22:45,961
My partner.
Yeah.
551
00:22:45,963 --> 00:22:48,664
Was here.
Yeah.
552
00:22:50,367 --> 00:22:53,301
This is everything you found
on the thumb drive?
553
00:22:53,303 --> 00:22:56,638
These messages, plus multiple
drafts of Russell Cole's paper.
554
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,806
He didn't write it by himself,
he had a partner who helped.
555
00:22:58,808 --> 00:23:01,709
They went over every detail
together, word by word.
556
00:23:01,711 --> 00:23:03,778
This partner have a name?
557
00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:05,747
They didn't use names
when they communicated,
558
00:23:05,749 --> 00:23:07,916
which makes sense, they were
already using a dead drop
559
00:23:07,918 --> 00:23:09,584
to keep their
partnership a secret.
560
00:23:09,586 --> 00:23:10,818
Here's what I don't get.
561
00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:12,787
You talked to someone who said
562
00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:14,989
that that paper was
full of sloppy work.
563
00:23:14,991 --> 00:23:16,457
Now, we find out
two people
564
00:23:16,459 --> 00:23:17,992
went over it
with a fine-tooth comb.
565
00:23:17,994 --> 00:23:19,827
Well, that's the thing,
it looks like
566
00:23:19,829 --> 00:23:21,996
all these mistakes
were deliberate.
567
00:23:21,998 --> 00:23:23,697
They wanted it
to take months
568
00:23:23,699 --> 00:23:25,866
for experts in the field
to untangle.
569
00:23:25,868 --> 00:23:29,803
The paper was designed to kill
the Piazzi telescope project.
570
00:23:29,805 --> 00:23:31,638
The one that's worth
half a billion dollars.
571
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,707
Cole's partner
was the instigator.
572
00:23:33,709 --> 00:23:36,944
He promised to pay Cole big time
for publishing the paper.
573
00:23:36,946 --> 00:23:39,880
But check out the last
couple of messages.
574
00:23:39,882 --> 00:23:41,748
He was upping the price.
575
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:43,383
Cole wanted more money.
576
00:23:43,385 --> 00:23:45,052
The partner agreed
to talk about it,
577
00:23:45,054 --> 00:23:46,954
and told him to come back
into the city.
578
00:23:46,956 --> 00:23:49,823
They were gonna meet at Cole's
apartment two nights ago.
579
00:23:49,825 --> 00:23:51,792
The night Cole
was murdered.
580
00:23:51,794 --> 00:23:53,359
We've been thinking
someone who was hurt
581
00:23:53,361 --> 00:23:55,428
by Cole's paper
killed him in anger,
582
00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:57,697
but it turns out,
he may have been killed
583
00:23:57,699 --> 00:24:00,300
by whoever hired him
to write it.
584
00:24:08,699 --> 00:24:11,232
Is this how you people conduct
your business?
585
00:24:11,234 --> 00:24:13,944
You lie to someone who does
nothing but cooperate.
586
00:24:14,044 --> 00:24:16,048
Lure me here
under false pretenses.
587
00:24:16,072 --> 00:24:16,810
We told you
588
00:24:16,811 --> 00:24:19,511
we had some questions about
the case, we're asking them.
589
00:24:19,513 --> 00:24:21,947
You didn't tell me
I was a suspect.
590
00:24:21,949 --> 00:24:24,382
I loved Russell like a brother.
591
00:24:24,384 --> 00:24:26,018
Why would I have killed him?
592
00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:27,519
The paper Cole published
was hand-crafted
593
00:24:27,521 --> 00:24:29,488
to kill a NASA project.
594
00:24:29,490 --> 00:24:31,656
It cost multiple
private companies millions.
595
00:24:31,658 --> 00:24:34,192
We think it was
market manipulation.
596
00:24:34,194 --> 00:24:36,528
You said yourself how your
quants can destroy a company,
597
00:24:36,530 --> 00:24:39,197
and you were in the perfect
position to conspire with Cole.
598
00:24:39,199 --> 00:24:41,333
Based on our research,
the likely target
599
00:24:41,335 --> 00:24:44,236
was a telescope manufacturer
named Cygnus Optics.
600
00:24:44,238 --> 00:24:45,703
Their value's plummeted
601
00:24:45,705 --> 00:24:47,805
as a result of the shelving
602
00:24:47,807 --> 00:24:50,808
of the Piazzi project, creating
an ideal investment opportunity.
603
00:24:50,810 --> 00:24:54,178
One that you
have taken advantage of.
604
00:24:54,180 --> 00:24:55,780
Knowing the company to
be fundamentally sound,
605
00:24:55,782 --> 00:24:58,249
you'll be confident
that its value will recover.
606
00:24:58,251 --> 00:25:00,317
Once the paper
was published,
607
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:02,020
you told Cole
to lie low.
608
00:25:02,022 --> 00:25:03,887
You wanted him to
stay in his cabin,
609
00:25:03,889 --> 00:25:05,055
supposedly working
on a solution,
610
00:25:05,057 --> 00:25:06,624
so that he would
be unavailable
611
00:25:06,626 --> 00:25:08,392
to answer questions
while the damage took hold.
612
00:25:08,394 --> 00:25:10,761
Then Cole
got greedy.
613
00:25:10,763 --> 00:25:12,396
Asked for a bigger cut.
614
00:25:12,398 --> 00:25:15,065
Told him to come back to his
apartment, where you killed him.
615
00:25:15,067 --> 00:25:17,268
You took his laptop,
so no one would find
616
00:25:17,270 --> 00:25:18,802
the messages
you'd been trading.
617
00:25:18,804 --> 00:25:20,637
And we figure you would have
picked up the thumb drive
618
00:25:20,639 --> 00:25:22,338
in New City eventually,
but who knows?
619
00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:23,840
It was well hidden.
620
00:25:23,842 --> 00:25:27,477
Probably, you just figured
no one would find it.
621
00:25:27,479 --> 00:25:29,646
You're right about one thing.
622
00:25:29,648 --> 00:25:31,114
I invested in Cygnus Optics.
623
00:25:31,116 --> 00:25:32,415
You would have, too,
624
00:25:32,417 --> 00:25:34,551
after the nosedive
it took.
625
00:25:34,553 --> 00:25:37,953
But I didn't know anything about
Russell writing a phony paper.
626
00:25:40,825 --> 00:25:44,460
He was killed on Monday night,
right? What time?
627
00:25:44,462 --> 00:25:46,162
M.E. puts it
between 7:00 and 9:00.
628
00:25:46,164 --> 00:25:47,730
I had a dinner.
629
00:25:47,732 --> 00:25:49,399
We were going over a new IPO.
630
00:25:49,401 --> 00:25:51,434
A dozen witnesses
can put me there.
631
00:25:52,304 --> 00:25:53,669
You don't believe me
632
00:25:53,671 --> 00:25:55,738
when I say I cared
about Russell.
633
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:58,207
You think I only care
about money.
634
00:25:58,209 --> 00:26:00,776
So fine, let's talk about money.
635
00:26:00,778 --> 00:26:03,713
I told you before,
he was my golden goose.
636
00:26:03,715 --> 00:26:05,948
Look at my annual reports
over the last eight years.
637
00:26:05,950 --> 00:26:08,117
They're all on file
with the SEC.
638
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,520
Count up how much money he
was worth to me over time.
639
00:26:11,522 --> 00:26:14,789
You said Russell wanted his
partner to pay him double?
640
00:26:14,791 --> 00:26:19,160
I would have given him ten times
what he was asking... 20.
641
00:26:19,162 --> 00:26:20,962
It would have been easy.
642
00:26:20,964 --> 00:26:23,232
You want to arrest me? Fine.
643
00:26:23,234 --> 00:26:24,933
But you're gonna embarrass
yourselves.
644
00:26:24,935 --> 00:26:27,202
You've got the wrong guy.
645
00:26:32,642 --> 00:26:34,179
Cutting Cole's boss loose?
646
00:26:34,203 --> 00:26:35,277
For now.
647
00:26:35,278 --> 00:26:37,779
We're not liking him as
much as we did an hour ago.
648
00:26:37,781 --> 00:26:40,314
He gave us an alibi,
I'm gonna check it out.
649
00:26:40,316 --> 00:26:42,016
Are we still thinking
this is all about tanking
650
00:26:42,018 --> 00:26:43,684
a telescope company?
651
00:26:43,686 --> 00:26:45,486
Cygnus Optics is
still our best theory,
652
00:26:45,488 --> 00:26:47,622
but if Mitch Barrett didn't have
anything to do with it,
653
00:26:47,624 --> 00:26:49,390
we have to find out who else
had reason to hurt them.
654
00:26:49,392 --> 00:26:51,058
One project's
$500 million loss
655
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:52,993
could be another's gain.
656
00:26:52,995 --> 00:26:54,562
Now, whilst researching
the information
657
00:26:54,564 --> 00:26:55,963
that Julius Kent gave us,
658
00:26:55,965 --> 00:26:58,065
I identified somebody
who could speak to
659
00:26:58,067 --> 00:26:59,332
all the asteroid-hunting
projects
660
00:26:59,334 --> 00:27:00,868
in consideration--
661
00:27:00,870 --> 00:27:02,469
Congresswoman Kristen Salazar,
662
00:27:02,471 --> 00:27:04,004
from New York's 31st District.
663
00:27:04,006 --> 00:27:05,505
She sits on the House
subcommittee
664
00:27:05,507 --> 00:27:07,474
for space and science funding.
665
00:27:07,476 --> 00:27:10,177
Turns out she's in her
Manhattan office all this week.
666
00:27:10,179 --> 00:27:11,678
You're thinking
talk to her,
667
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,847
see if any other
suspects jump out.
668
00:27:13,849 --> 00:27:15,115
When I attempted
to contact her
669
00:27:15,117 --> 00:27:16,182
several times earlier
in the day,
670
00:27:16,184 --> 00:27:17,484
my calls went unreturned.
671
00:27:17,486 --> 00:27:18,985
So I asked Julius
to try and leverage
672
00:27:18,987 --> 00:27:21,988
his celebrity, see if he
could get her attention.
673
00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:23,757
And she made space
in her schedule
674
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:25,492
first thing tomorrow.
675
00:27:25,494 --> 00:27:27,294
I'm sorry to
keep you waiting.
676
00:27:27,296 --> 00:27:28,861
I was on a call.
677
00:27:28,863 --> 00:27:30,029
It's always a madhouse
around here.
678
00:27:30,031 --> 00:27:31,631
Of course.
679
00:27:31,633 --> 00:27:33,966
I see you've already met
my science advisor, Grant,
680
00:27:33,968 --> 00:27:36,502
which is good because
he's the expert on all this.
681
00:27:36,504 --> 00:27:37,703
Everyone, please.
682
00:27:37,705 --> 00:27:39,538
I'm sure you heard that
we are investigating
683
00:27:39,540 --> 00:27:42,675
the murder of Russell Cole?
Of course.
684
00:27:42,677 --> 00:27:45,077
He wrote the paper that
forced us to mothball Piazzi.
685
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:47,079
It's simply tragic.
686
00:27:47,081 --> 00:27:48,847
And whether his assertions
turn out to be right or wrong,
687
00:27:48,849 --> 00:27:51,717
clearly Mr. Cole had
a singular mind.
688
00:27:51,719 --> 00:27:53,852
In ways that
you may be unaware.
689
00:27:53,854 --> 00:27:55,721
We've discovered evidence
that Mr. Cole
690
00:27:55,723 --> 00:27:58,557
undermined Piazzi...
intentionally.
691
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:02,394
So we'd like to know
who profits from his actions.
692
00:28:02,396 --> 00:28:04,530
I don't understand.
693
00:28:04,532 --> 00:28:06,198
Are you saying
we were played?
694
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,866
In so many words.
695
00:28:07,868 --> 00:28:10,335
The $500 million that
would have gone to Piazzi,
696
00:28:10,337 --> 00:28:12,704
is it going to be allocated
to a different project?
697
00:28:12,706 --> 00:28:14,906
No, no, the money
doesn't go anywhere,
698
00:28:14,908 --> 00:28:16,407
it just doesn't
get allocated.
699
00:28:16,409 --> 00:28:18,643
But I think you're missing
the bigger picture.
700
00:28:18,645 --> 00:28:22,179
That paper hurt all asteroid-
hunting projects equally.
701
00:28:22,181 --> 00:28:24,248
Obviously, there are
competing projects
702
00:28:24,250 --> 00:28:25,983
that would have loved
to cut ahead,
703
00:28:25,985 --> 00:28:27,752
but they all rely
on the same principles
704
00:28:27,754 --> 00:28:29,920
that Cole's paper
attacked.
705
00:28:29,922 --> 00:28:30,955
They all failed
to take into account
706
00:28:30,957 --> 00:28:32,122
what asteroids are made of.
707
00:28:32,124 --> 00:28:33,924
According to his paper,
708
00:28:33,926 --> 00:28:36,193
everyone is making
the same mistake,
709
00:28:36,195 --> 00:28:39,063
so all proposed projects are
on an indefinite hold.
710
00:28:39,065 --> 00:28:42,399
I mean, if what
you're saying is true,
711
00:28:42,401 --> 00:28:45,401
Russell Cole has done
something catastrophic.
712
00:28:45,403 --> 00:28:48,404
Whatever his motives,
his paper raised
713
00:28:48,406 --> 00:28:49,638
real, legitimate
questions.
714
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,174
We can't un-ring
that bell now.
715
00:28:51,176 --> 00:28:53,542
We've gotta let
the peer review play out.
716
00:28:53,544 --> 00:28:55,845
And government funding
doesn't come easily,
717
00:28:55,847 --> 00:28:57,981
especially not
for space research.
718
00:28:57,983 --> 00:29:00,449
Even if the experts
decide that he was wrong,
719
00:29:00,451 --> 00:29:02,685
it could take a decade
to get asteroid research
720
00:29:02,687 --> 00:29:04,319
back on track.
721
00:29:21,705 --> 00:29:24,539
Contemplating the mysteries
of the universe?
722
00:29:24,541 --> 00:29:26,074
Just one, actually.
723
00:29:26,076 --> 00:29:28,010
I've developed
a new theory of the crime,
724
00:29:28,012 --> 00:29:30,078
which I'm liking
more and more.
725
00:29:36,486 --> 00:29:38,119
Why do you smell like
a banana muffin?
726
00:29:38,121 --> 00:29:40,622
Oh, its a paste
of oatmeal,
727
00:29:40,624 --> 00:29:43,291
baking soda, banana peel,
and goldenseal root.
728
00:29:43,293 --> 00:29:44,626
It's a homemade
anti-itch remedy.
729
00:29:44,628 --> 00:29:46,461
I seem to be
developing a rash.
730
00:29:46,463 --> 00:29:48,463
Well, you must have touched
some poison ivy
731
00:29:48,465 --> 00:29:49,464
when you were
up at Cole's cabin.
732
00:29:49,466 --> 00:29:50,898
I most certainly did not.
733
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:52,599
You were walking around
outside before we arrived.
734
00:29:52,601 --> 00:29:54,235
I'm the foremost expert
on poisonous plants
735
00:29:54,237 --> 00:29:55,436
you'll likely ever meet.
736
00:29:55,438 --> 00:29:57,038
I did not touch
poison ivy.
737
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,539
Proof is in the oatmeal.
738
00:29:58,541 --> 00:30:00,874
So what's your theory?
739
00:30:00,876 --> 00:30:02,843
Since leaving
Congresswoman Salazar's office,
740
00:30:02,845 --> 00:30:04,511
I've been thinking about
what she
741
00:30:04,513 --> 00:30:06,080
and Mr. Huber told us.
742
00:30:06,082 --> 00:30:07,481
That the effect
of Cole's paper
743
00:30:07,483 --> 00:30:09,182
was to delay the hunt
for asteroids
744
00:30:09,184 --> 00:30:11,919
for as much as a decade.
745
00:30:11,921 --> 00:30:14,655
I started wondering
if that was the point.
746
00:30:14,657 --> 00:30:17,023
So you think someone
wants us all to be killed
747
00:30:17,025 --> 00:30:18,325
by a giant rock?
748
00:30:18,327 --> 00:30:20,026
My theory is much
more out there,
749
00:30:20,028 --> 00:30:21,261
so to speak.
750
00:30:21,263 --> 00:30:24,230
I'm all ears.
751
00:30:24,232 --> 00:30:27,033
What if what was bad
for asteroid hunting
752
00:30:27,035 --> 00:30:29,569
was good for asteroid mining?
753
00:30:29,571 --> 00:30:31,671
Excuse me?
754
00:30:31,673 --> 00:30:34,174
There's gold in them
there rocks, Watson.
755
00:30:34,176 --> 00:30:37,777
Platinum, too. Lots of it.
Just as Julius said.
756
00:30:37,779 --> 00:30:39,545
Yeah, but nobody's gonna
be able to fly a ship
757
00:30:39,547 --> 00:30:42,214
to an asteroid until
sometime in the 2020s.
758
00:30:42,216 --> 00:30:45,618
A crucial element to my theory.
Come on.
759
00:30:51,493 --> 00:30:54,126
“Michael Hines,
CEO Aurum Aeronautics.
760
00:30:54,128 --> 00:30:56,695
Barbara Torrissi,
CEO Exterral Dynamics.”
761
00:30:56,697 --> 00:30:58,230
I thought everyone
was hurt equally
762
00:30:58,232 --> 00:30:59,465
by Cole's paper.
763
00:30:59,467 --> 00:31:01,200
I no longer think
that's true.
764
00:31:01,202 --> 00:31:03,202
Combined,
those four companies
765
00:31:03,204 --> 00:31:04,870
are investing billions
towards
766
00:31:04,872 --> 00:31:08,073
the long-term prospects
for asteroid mining.
767
00:31:08,075 --> 00:31:09,641
The world's governments
are also investing
768
00:31:09,643 --> 00:31:12,244
in missions to asteroids,
which greatly reduces
769
00:31:12,246 --> 00:31:14,579
the cost
to those companies.
770
00:31:14,581 --> 00:31:17,716
Governments, however--
they're driven only
771
00:31:17,718 --> 00:31:19,484
by their fear
of asteroid impact.
772
00:31:19,486 --> 00:31:21,252
NASA, for example,
cares only about
773
00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:22,621
saving the human race,
774
00:31:22,623 --> 00:31:24,623
not about mining
for rare metals.
775
00:31:24,625 --> 00:31:27,792
And the truth is the chances
that anything really bad
776
00:31:27,794 --> 00:31:30,028
is going to hit us anytime soon
777
00:31:30,030 --> 00:31:31,962
is infinitesimal.
778
00:31:31,964 --> 00:31:35,333
The last extinction-level impact
was 66 million years ago.
779
00:31:35,335 --> 00:31:37,435
Even an event that would be
locally devastating--
780
00:31:37,437 --> 00:31:39,237
the loss of a city,
for example--
781
00:31:39,239 --> 00:31:41,239
that only comes along
every 5,000 years.
782
00:31:41,241 --> 00:31:44,042
Decade here or there,
meaningless.
783
00:31:44,044 --> 00:31:47,244
So you think experts are mapping
out asteroids too quickly.
784
00:31:47,246 --> 00:31:48,746
If they finish,
and it turns out
785
00:31:48,748 --> 00:31:50,781
the world is safe
for the foreseeable future,
786
00:31:50,783 --> 00:31:52,750
the governments
will cut off the funding.
787
00:31:52,752 --> 00:31:54,618
Which gets one or more
of these CEO's
788
00:31:54,620 --> 00:31:56,486
motive to slow things down.
789
00:31:56,488 --> 00:31:58,622
Cole's paper creates
a fog of uncertainty,
790
00:31:58,624 --> 00:32:00,791
humanity's fear of
the unknown is prolonged,
791
00:32:00,793 --> 00:32:03,126
and they get to ride
that rocket of terror
792
00:32:03,128 --> 00:32:05,095
to their gold mine in the sky.
793
00:32:05,097 --> 00:32:06,430
You're right.
794
00:32:06,432 --> 00:32:07,764
It's out there.
But it makes sense.
795
00:32:07,766 --> 00:32:09,199
As long as whoever it is
doesn't mind
796
00:32:09,201 --> 00:32:11,435
rolling the dice.
If we're all wiped out
797
00:32:11,437 --> 00:32:13,503
by an asteroid
in the next few years,
798
00:32:13,505 --> 00:32:14,938
they're gonna feel pretty silly.
799
00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:16,573
Mm. I'm certain
that they're certain
800
00:32:16,575 --> 00:32:17,807
the odds are in their favor.
801
00:32:17,809 --> 00:32:19,275
Oh, speaking
of being blindsided,
802
00:32:19,277 --> 00:32:21,410
I had a meeting with
Deputy Chief Prosky yesterday.
803
00:32:21,412 --> 00:32:22,779
Mm-hmm?
804
00:32:22,781 --> 00:32:24,480
You've known
about the unit citation
805
00:32:24,482 --> 00:32:26,215
for weeks--
why didn't you say anything?
806
00:32:26,217 --> 00:32:28,517
Well, because I knew
you'd be against it.
807
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:31,153
So you knew I'd object...
808
00:32:31,155 --> 00:32:34,323
yet you conspired with the Honor
Committee's inquiry nonetheless.
809
00:32:34,325 --> 00:32:37,025
And this is why
I did not bring it up.
810
00:32:37,027 --> 00:32:39,228
I want to show you
something.
811
00:32:43,901 --> 00:32:45,201
I didn't conspire.
812
00:32:45,203 --> 00:32:46,835
The Honor Committee called
about a week ago.
813
00:32:46,837 --> 00:32:48,270
You weren't here.
I went to Prosky's office,
814
00:32:48,272 --> 00:32:50,539
answered some questions.
That's it.
815
00:32:51,375 --> 00:32:52,874
What's this?
816
00:32:53,978 --> 00:32:55,510
It's your one-year
sobriety chip.
817
00:32:55,512 --> 00:32:56,745
Yeah, and what's this?
818
00:32:56,747 --> 00:32:58,080
Also my one-year
sobriety chip.
819
00:32:58,082 --> 00:32:59,514
One is my first
one-year chip,
820
00:32:59,516 --> 00:33:01,049
the other is my
second one-year chip.
821
00:33:01,051 --> 00:33:02,182
So?
822
00:33:02,206 --> 00:33:04,120
So they're
indistinguishable.
823
00:33:04,121 --> 00:33:06,187
These awards, these
ribbons, trinkets,
824
00:33:06,189 --> 00:33:09,324
they're-they're just symbols;
they don't matter.
825
00:33:09,326 --> 00:33:11,192
Not really.
826
00:33:11,194 --> 00:33:12,594
The work we do does.
827
00:33:12,596 --> 00:33:14,996
The work is all that matters.
828
00:33:14,998 --> 00:33:16,864
If symbols matter
so little to you,
829
00:33:16,866 --> 00:33:18,533
why are you so against
accepting a certificate?
830
00:33:18,535 --> 00:33:20,268
Captain Gregson wants to do
something nice for us.
831
00:33:20,270 --> 00:33:21,536
He's also our friend.
832
00:33:21,538 --> 00:33:23,104
I appreciate it.
833
00:33:23,106 --> 00:33:25,372
I'd like to let him.
So where's the harm?
834
00:33:25,374 --> 00:33:27,407
It's the camel's nose
in the tent, Watson.
835
00:33:27,409 --> 00:33:28,372
What?
836
00:33:28,396 --> 00:33:29,456
It's a
slippery slope.
837
00:33:29,457 --> 00:33:32,858
I saw it during my time
at Scotland Yard.
838
00:33:32,860 --> 00:33:36,129
The reason I refused to accept
any official police credit
839
00:33:36,131 --> 00:33:37,630
is that once I allow it,
840
00:33:37,632 --> 00:33:39,832
there's no official line
as to where it stops.
841
00:33:39,834 --> 00:33:42,334
And then soon I begin to eclipse
the whole department.
842
00:33:42,336 --> 00:33:44,670
And-and resentment
and its inevitable harm
843
00:33:44,672 --> 00:33:46,939
to working relationships
quickly follows.
844
00:33:46,941 --> 00:33:50,676
So you don't want to accept
any credit
845
00:33:50,678 --> 00:33:52,577
because the truth is
846
00:33:52,579 --> 00:33:55,147
you deserve too much credit.
847
00:33:55,149 --> 00:33:58,583
The work we do is too
important to jeopardize.
848
00:34:01,788 --> 00:34:04,422
I give up. I'm going to bed.
849
00:34:15,501 --> 00:34:17,535
I assume that's not you
bringing me breakfast in bed.
850
00:34:17,537 --> 00:34:19,336
I thought you
might need
851
00:34:19,338 --> 00:34:21,005
some of my remedy--
I was wrong.
852
00:34:21,007 --> 00:34:24,642
So you checked me
for poison ivy in my sleep?
853
00:34:24,644 --> 00:34:26,744
That is not creepy.
I had no need
854
00:34:26,746 --> 00:34:28,546
to look anywhere
other than your arms.
855
00:34:28,548 --> 00:34:29,981
You appear
to have been unexposed.
856
00:34:29,983 --> 00:34:32,049
My own rash, however,
has spread.
857
00:34:32,051 --> 00:34:33,817
You still sure
you didn't touch any?
858
00:34:33,819 --> 00:34:35,085
I am.
859
00:34:35,087 --> 00:34:36,053
Then how could you have a rash?
860
00:34:36,055 --> 00:34:37,188
I continued working
861
00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:39,022
after you went to bed
last night,
862
00:34:39,024 --> 00:34:41,758
poring over information on the
four asteroid mining companies.
863
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,428
I believe I've not only
identified a suspect,
864
00:34:44,430 --> 00:34:46,697
but also the explanation
for my rash.
865
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:48,665
I maintain I did not
come into contact
866
00:34:48,667 --> 00:34:50,533
with poison ivy--
but you and I
867
00:34:50,535 --> 00:34:53,837
have come into contact
with Russell Cole's killer.
868
00:35:07,855 --> 00:35:09,381
Oh. Marcus just called.
869
00:35:09,481 --> 00:35:11,448
The police got permission
to go ahead.
870
00:35:11,450 --> 00:35:13,683
So we should
head out soon.
871
00:35:15,854 --> 00:35:18,955
I also heard from the
deputy chief's office.
872
00:35:18,957 --> 00:35:21,558
They're including us
in Medal Day.
873
00:35:24,129 --> 00:35:26,695
The captain is gonna go
on behalf of the squad,
874
00:35:26,697 --> 00:35:28,831
and then he's gonna bring
back the certificates
875
00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:31,500
to hand out at the station.
876
00:35:31,502 --> 00:35:34,370
What would you do, Watson,
if you knew the world was ending
877
00:35:34,372 --> 00:35:36,873
in, say, one month's time?
878
00:35:36,875 --> 00:35:39,008
Hmm? Indulge me.
879
00:35:39,010 --> 00:35:42,711
An asteroid 20 miles wide is
hurtling towards us as we speak.
880
00:35:42,713 --> 00:35:44,747
You made your point
last night, okay?
881
00:35:44,749 --> 00:35:47,249
We would both continue doing
our jobs to the very end.
882
00:35:47,251 --> 00:35:48,617
The work we do
is important.
883
00:35:48,619 --> 00:35:50,552
I think I could have
done a better job
884
00:35:50,554 --> 00:35:53,221
explaining why
it's important.
885
00:35:53,223 --> 00:35:56,692
At least explaining why
it's important... to me.
886
00:35:58,663 --> 00:36:01,229
When you and I
first started...
887
00:36:01,231 --> 00:36:03,665
I quickly recognized
your merits,
888
00:36:03,667 --> 00:36:06,534
both as a detective
in your own right...
889
00:36:06,536 --> 00:36:11,173
and in that you facilitated
my own process.
890
00:36:11,175 --> 00:36:14,876
I'm better at the work I do
because of you.
891
00:36:16,446 --> 00:36:18,513
But over the years...
892
00:36:18,515 --> 00:36:22,650
the relative importance
of those two values has flipped.
893
00:36:22,652 --> 00:36:26,153
I now value the work that we do,
first and foremost,
894
00:36:26,155 --> 00:36:29,023
because I do it with you.
895
00:36:32,995 --> 00:36:35,196
So if at times
I seem overprotective
896
00:36:35,198 --> 00:36:37,131
of the system that we've built,
897
00:36:37,133 --> 00:36:41,936
if I worry that the resentments
of others might disrupt it...
898
00:36:41,938 --> 00:36:44,205
I have good reason.
899
00:36:46,775 --> 00:36:50,644
Those chips you showed me
last night...
900
00:36:50,646 --> 00:36:52,946
you don't accept them
for yourself.
901
00:36:52,948 --> 00:36:55,749
You accept them
because you're part of a group.
902
00:36:55,751 --> 00:36:58,585
You accept them because...
903
00:36:58,587 --> 00:37:01,822
the work you did
to stand up at a meeting
904
00:37:01,824 --> 00:37:03,390
inspires others.
905
00:37:03,392 --> 00:37:05,691
It's bigger
than you.
906
00:37:05,693 --> 00:37:07,660
Or us.
907
00:37:10,398 --> 00:37:13,432
So you show up.
908
00:37:15,904 --> 00:37:17,803
I'm gonna go get ready.
909
00:37:29,917 --> 00:37:31,083
Hello?
910
00:37:31,085 --> 00:37:32,418
Mr. Huber.
911
00:37:32,420 --> 00:37:33,986
Thank you for coming.
912
00:37:33,988 --> 00:37:36,121
Mr. Holmes,
Miss Watson.
913
00:37:36,123 --> 00:37:37,423
I got a call
from Julius Kent.
914
00:37:37,425 --> 00:37:38,590
Are you meeting him here, too?
915
00:37:38,592 --> 00:37:40,225
We asked Julius to
invite you here.
916
00:37:40,227 --> 00:37:41,593
We'd seen how much
influence he has,
917
00:37:41,595 --> 00:37:43,028
so we knew you'd come.
918
00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:44,796
It's so police could
search your office,
919
00:37:44,798 --> 00:37:47,766
with Congresswoman Salazar's
permission, of course.
920
00:37:47,768 --> 00:37:50,602
Why do the police
want to search my office?
921
00:37:50,604 --> 00:37:52,037
Why not just ask?
I'd have let them.
922
00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:53,405
You're confident
923
00:37:53,407 --> 00:37:55,273
you have nothing to fear
because you think
924
00:37:55,275 --> 00:37:57,141
there's no evidence there of you
having murdered Russell Cole.
925
00:37:57,143 --> 00:37:58,476
You are wrong.
926
00:37:59,345 --> 00:38:01,946
You think I killed Russell Cole?
927
00:38:01,948 --> 00:38:03,381
We do.
928
00:38:03,383 --> 00:38:05,450
After the two of you
wrote that paper together.
929
00:38:05,452 --> 00:38:07,852
That makes no sense.
930
00:38:07,854 --> 00:38:09,287
What possible reason
would I have
931
00:38:09,289 --> 00:38:11,555
to sabotage the funding
I helped get?
932
00:38:11,557 --> 00:38:13,757
You're referring to the
funding for asteroid hunting.
933
00:38:13,759 --> 00:38:15,692
As it happens, we've
shifted our focus
934
00:38:15,694 --> 00:38:17,528
more towards asteroid mining.
935
00:38:17,530 --> 00:38:19,530
While looking into the
companies involved in that,
936
00:38:19,532 --> 00:38:21,399
a familiar name
kept recurring.
937
00:38:21,401 --> 00:38:23,567
Prior to your current
job with Ms. Salazar,
938
00:38:23,569 --> 00:38:26,938
you were a lobbyist with
deep ties to those companies.
939
00:38:26,940 --> 00:38:28,238
We believe it was
in that capacity
940
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:30,140
that you first
met Mr. Cole.
941
00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:33,677
He conducted an analysis
of one of your clients.
942
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:35,512
His calendar showed
a number of dinner dates
943
00:38:35,514 --> 00:38:37,213
between the two of you.
944
00:38:37,215 --> 00:38:38,782
You also helped get
legislation passed
945
00:38:38,784 --> 00:38:41,518
giving those companies
the right to mine asteroids.
946
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,353
And based on your
social media photos,
947
00:38:43,355 --> 00:38:45,555
you spend way too much money
for a public servant.
948
00:38:45,557 --> 00:38:46,957
Which indicates
949
00:38:46,959 --> 00:38:48,959
that your former employers
are paying you
950
00:38:48,961 --> 00:38:51,828
to make sure that government
decisions go their way.
951
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:53,964
And most recently,
that included you
952
00:38:53,966 --> 00:38:56,066
killing Russell Cole.
953
00:38:57,602 --> 00:38:59,502
You people are crazy.
954
00:38:59,504 --> 00:39:02,572
Do you have even a shred of
proof to support any of this?
955
00:39:02,574 --> 00:39:04,106
That brings us
956
00:39:04,108 --> 00:39:05,875
to the search currently
underway at your office.
957
00:39:05,877 --> 00:39:07,443
At some point
after the crime,
958
00:39:07,445 --> 00:39:09,311
you brought Russell
Cole's laptop there.
959
00:39:09,313 --> 00:39:11,714
The case was covered
in urushiol.
960
00:39:11,716 --> 00:39:15,117
It's the oil which comes
from poison ivy leaves.
961
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:17,052
You'd be surprised at how
easily that oil transfers
962
00:39:17,054 --> 00:39:18,387
from one surface to another.
963
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:20,555
For example, you put
the case on your couch.
964
00:39:20,557 --> 00:39:23,825
I sat there, and my skin
reacted to the toxins.
965
00:39:23,827 --> 00:39:26,761
I... I don't know what you're
talking about.
966
00:39:26,763 --> 00:39:29,331
I don't have poison ivy.
967
00:39:29,333 --> 00:39:30,765
Assuming that's true, it
is possible that you are
968
00:39:30,767 --> 00:39:34,002
in the 20% of people who
are not sensitive to it.
969
00:39:34,004 --> 00:39:36,270
Either way, police are
taking your couch to the lab
970
00:39:36,272 --> 00:39:37,706
to collect oil samples.
971
00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:39,007
They're also showing
your photograph
972
00:39:39,009 --> 00:39:41,109
around a diner
in New City.
973
00:39:41,111 --> 00:39:42,544
I think it's only
a matter of time
974
00:39:42,546 --> 00:39:43,745
before you're recognized.
975
00:39:43,747 --> 00:39:45,380
If you want to cooperate,
976
00:39:45,382 --> 00:39:47,448
and share the names of
the people who hired you
977
00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:49,518
to conspire with Cole,
now is your chance.
978
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,185
In case you're wondering,
979
00:39:51,187 --> 00:39:53,187
urushiol contains DNA.
980
00:39:53,189 --> 00:39:55,756
So a definitive match between
the oil on your couch
981
00:39:55,758 --> 00:39:57,358
and the plants at Cole's cabin
982
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,726
will be attainable.
983
00:39:58,728 --> 00:40:00,661
I should say,
might be.
984
00:40:00,663 --> 00:40:02,530
I'm not sure of the odds, but...
985
00:40:02,532 --> 00:40:04,698
I think they're better than
an asteroid showing up
986
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:06,634
