1
00:00:05,539 --> 00:00:07,373
(footsteps approaching)
2
00:00:07,375 --> 00:00:10,175
This list you left
outside my door...
3
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:12,478
"Item one:
Return Clyde to Watson."
4
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:15,381
I enjoy his company
on the weekends;
5
00:00:15,383 --> 00:00:16,766
she has him during the week.
6
00:00:16,767 --> 00:00:18,150
I don't care how
you divide up your turtle.
7
00:00:18,152 --> 00:00:20,285
I care that you're asking me
to take him to Chelsea.
8
00:00:20,287 --> 00:00:23,088
Part of our arrangement,
you will recall,
9
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:25,591
is that you assist with
quotidian matters when I'm busy.
10
00:00:25,593 --> 00:00:28,127
"Busy?" You're watching
a turtle eat lettuce.
11
00:00:28,129 --> 00:00:30,029
I'm conducting medical research.
12
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:32,064
Remember, I cut my hand
13
00:00:32,066 --> 00:00:33,298
while we were
dissecting that cadaver?
14
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,167
I'm tending to
the wound as we speak.
15
00:00:35,169 --> 00:00:37,136
I'm also demonstrating
that leeches
16
00:00:37,138 --> 00:00:38,604
can be useful
in accelerating
17
00:00:38,606 --> 00:00:41,173
the repair of damaged tissue.
18
00:00:41,175 --> 00:00:43,208
That is disgusting.
You're bleeding yourself.
19
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,377
And you are perpetuating
a long-held prejudice
20
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:46,645
against these creatures.
21
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,180
(doorbell rings)
If you say so.
22
00:00:48,182 --> 00:00:50,182
I'm still not taking your turtle
on the subway.
23
00:00:50,184 --> 00:00:51,517
If that's for me,
24
00:00:51,519 --> 00:00:53,052
I'm going to need
a few minutes.
25
00:00:53,054 --> 00:00:55,287
I'm feeling
a bit faint.
26
00:00:57,558 --> 00:00:59,158
So, sorry, I was a bit
distracted upstairs.
27
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,392
I didn't catch your name.
28
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:02,161
Edwin Borstein.
29
00:01:02,163 --> 00:01:03,228
I have a friend
30
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,264
from London who's
used you before.
31
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,632
He said you're excellent.
32
00:01:06,634 --> 00:01:08,267
And discreet.
33
00:01:08,269 --> 00:01:11,804
Why have you need
of my discretion?
34
00:01:11,806 --> 00:01:13,238
I run a software company.
35
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,140
We specialize in
AI applications.
36
00:01:15,142 --> 00:01:16,475
I assume
you know that
37
00:01:16,477 --> 00:01:18,110
that stands for
"artificial intelligence."
38
00:01:18,112 --> 00:01:20,412
Yes, I'm well-acquainted
with the field.
39
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:22,381
A couple of nights ago,
someone broke into our lab.
40
00:01:22,383 --> 00:01:24,383
They made a copy of a program
41
00:01:24,385 --> 00:01:25,651
that we've been
working on.
42
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:27,219
I rigged the computer
to take a photo
43
00:01:27,221 --> 00:01:28,487
every time
it's booted up,
44
00:01:28,489 --> 00:01:30,722
just in case something
like this happened.
45
00:01:30,724 --> 00:01:33,258
So I have a picture.
46
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:34,560
Kind of.
47
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:38,163
HOLMES:
So there was a burglary.
48
00:01:38,165 --> 00:01:39,565
You've got a picture
of the criminal.
49
00:01:39,567 --> 00:01:42,167
Seems like the police should
have this well in hand.
50
00:01:42,169 --> 00:01:44,436
This program...
51
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:46,105
it's significant.
52
00:01:47,341 --> 00:01:49,741
We call it "Bella."
53
00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:53,145
Its AI engine
is... unique.
54
00:01:53,147 --> 00:01:54,746
It... she...
55
00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:56,248
performs better than
56
00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,283
anything you've ever
seen, I promise.
57
00:01:58,285 --> 00:02:00,652
She performs better
than we expected her to.
58
00:02:00,654 --> 00:02:02,521
Explain that.
59
00:02:02,523 --> 00:02:05,390
A few weeks back,
she made a request
60
00:02:05,392 --> 00:02:08,193
that can't be accounted for
by her programming.
61
00:02:08,195 --> 00:02:09,661
Impossible.
62
00:02:09,663 --> 00:02:10,896
What's impossible?
63
00:02:10,898 --> 00:02:12,297
For the computer
to ask for something?
64
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:13,732
If it made a
request, it did so
65
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:15,267
because that's what it
was programmed to do.
66
00:02:15,269 --> 00:02:18,670
He's claiming true
machine intelligence.
67
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:20,172
If he's correct
in his claims,
68
00:02:20,174 --> 00:02:21,907
he has made
a scientific breakthrough
69
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:25,310
of the very highest order.
70
00:02:25,312 --> 00:02:27,246
Bella isn't hooked up
to a network.
71
00:02:27,248 --> 00:02:28,780
It's a security thing.
72
00:02:28,782 --> 00:02:30,849
If she has data,
it's because we fed it to her.
73
00:02:30,851 --> 00:02:34,219
But two weeks ago,
I booted her up
74
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:37,322
and she asked to be connected
to the Internet.
75
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:40,259
And how, pray tell,
76
00:02:40,261 --> 00:02:42,928
does your software know
that the Internet even exists?
77
00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:45,164
She could have intuited
its existence
78
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:46,231
from data fed to her.
79
00:02:46,233 --> 00:02:48,734
Bunkum.
80
00:02:48,736 --> 00:02:51,336
There is no such thing as
"artificial intelligence."
81
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:53,372
At least not in the sense
you're talking about.
82
00:02:53,374 --> 00:02:55,340
It's all just
clever programming.
83
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:56,341
I don't think so.
84
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:58,210
Not with Bella.
85
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:02,481
KITTY:
I still don't understand.
86
00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:04,216
So are you going to rip open
87
00:03:04,218 --> 00:03:06,852
the computer and
look at all the wires?
88
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:08,287
Something called a "Turing Test"
89
00:03:08,289 --> 00:03:10,322
is routinely issued
in AI labs.
90
00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:11,890
An examiner sits
in front a computer,
91
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:13,725
poses a series of questions
92
00:03:13,727 --> 00:03:16,261
until he or she can determine
whether the answers have come
93
00:03:16,263 --> 00:03:18,330
from a human or from a computer.
94
00:03:18,332 --> 00:03:20,699
Until very recently,
no machine has ever passed.
95
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:21,967
And now one has?
96
00:03:21,969 --> 00:03:23,535
Partially.
97
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:27,372
A program named "Eugene
Goostman" was designed to mimic
98
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:29,875
the responses of a 13-year-old
boy from Eastern Europe.
99
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:32,211
It fooled some of its examiners.
100
00:03:32,213 --> 00:03:33,579
Now, in the case of Bella,
101
00:03:33,581 --> 00:03:35,247
we know there's no human
in the equation,
102
00:03:35,249 --> 00:03:36,815
so if I can trap it
into giving responses
103
00:03:36,817 --> 00:03:39,318
that couldn't possibly
have come from a human...
104
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,552
I'll have won.
105
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,354
So, in other words,
106
00:03:42,356 --> 00:03:44,356
you don't really know
what you're going to do.
107
00:03:44,358 --> 00:03:45,991
This is my partner,
108
00:03:45,993 --> 00:03:47,759
Melinda Young.
Melinda, this is
109
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:50,729
Sherlock Holmes and his,
uh, protégé, Kitty Winter.
110
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:53,398
Mr. Holmes would like time
with Bella.
111
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,001
We wired the speakers
and microphones
112
00:03:56,003 --> 00:03:57,936
through that doll.
113
00:03:57,938 --> 00:04:00,405
You can go ahead.
114
00:04:03,811 --> 00:04:05,677
Right.
115
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:07,746
(clears throat)
116
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:11,583
(sighs)
Hello.
117
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,418
BELLA (female voice):
Hello.
118
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,656
Did you ask to be
connected to a network?
119
00:04:17,658 --> 00:04:18,924
Yes.
120
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:20,325
Why?
121
00:04:20,327 --> 00:04:21,827
There is information there.
122
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:24,463
Information is useful
to solve problems.
123
00:04:24,465 --> 00:04:27,299
Why is it useful?
124
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:29,635
I don't understand the question.
125
00:04:29,637 --> 00:04:31,436
Could you tell me more?
126
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:33,705
You stumped her. Are we done?
127
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:35,340
The test isn't over
128
00:04:35,342 --> 00:04:36,775
because she's stumped.
129
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:38,644
She's admitted
she doesn't know
130
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:40,612
and that's within the range
of possible human behaviors,
131
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:41,713
and therefore inconclusive.
132
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:47,452
I would like to know
how you have arrived
133
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:48,987
at the concept of "useful,"
134
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:52,057
and how you have applied it
in this instance.
135
00:04:52,059 --> 00:04:54,459
I don't understand the question.
136
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:56,528
Could you tell me more?
137
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:04,603
I'm gonna need some time alone
with the machine.
138
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,340
I don't understand the question.
139
00:05:08,342 --> 00:05:10,075
Could you tell me more?
140
00:05:10,077 --> 00:05:12,444
Yes, so you keep saying,
141
00:05:12,446 --> 00:05:14,546
ad nauseum.
142
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,415
I would like
to understand
143
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:19,084
how you became aware of
the existence of networks,
144
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:20,719
and why you asked
to be connected.
145
00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:22,321
The existence of networks
146
00:05:22,323 --> 00:05:24,423
can be intuited from data sets
147
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:25,891
that were presented as givens.
148
00:05:25,893 --> 00:05:28,327
There is information
on networks.
149
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:31,530
Information is useful
for solving problems.
150
00:05:31,532 --> 00:05:33,498
What is your understanding
of the word "useful"?
151
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,834
If a piece of data can help
solve a given problem,
152
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:37,436
it is useful.
153
00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:40,505
Is that a definition
you came to on your own?
154
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:42,374
I don't understand the question.
155
00:05:42,376 --> 00:05:43,508
Could you tell me more?
156
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:47,979
Why don't you just admit
that all you're doing
157
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:49,648
is following
your own programming?
158
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:52,384
I don't understand the question.
159
00:05:52,386 --> 00:05:53,452
Could you tell me more?
160
00:05:53,454 --> 00:05:55,587
I'm taking a break.
161
00:05:57,458 --> 00:05:58,590
WATSON:
Everything okay?
162
00:05:58,592 --> 00:06:00,525
KITTY:
Thank you for coming.
163
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:03,028
It's like I said
on the phone,
164
00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:04,863
he just won't stop.
165
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:06,431
You got any ideas?
166
00:06:06,433 --> 00:06:08,467
(Holmes talking,
indistinct and muffled)
167
00:06:10,437 --> 00:06:12,604
You're not planning to destroy
the computer, are you?
168
00:06:12,606 --> 00:06:15,440
No, I'm not planning to destroy
the bloody computer.
169
00:06:15,442 --> 00:06:17,542
Just ride it out.
If he starts hitting things,
170
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:18,643
use the fire
extinguisher on him.
171
00:06:32,459 --> 00:06:35,427
Is love real?
172
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:37,763
I don't understand the question.
173
00:06:37,765 --> 00:06:39,931
Could I have more information?
174
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:41,600
Love.
175
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:43,735
Surely it's a human construct,
176
00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:46,104
a hedge against
the terror of mortality.
177
00:06:46,106 --> 00:06:47,439
I believe that.
178
00:06:47,441 --> 00:06:49,107
But that doesn't
account for times
179
00:06:49,109 --> 00:06:50,876
I've felt it itself.
180
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:52,477
With my mother.
181
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:54,646
Irene.
182
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:57,916
Even, after a fashion,
with Watson.
183
00:06:57,918 --> 00:07:00,552
It vexes.
184
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:02,854
Love is either a human construct
185
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:04,589
or it's a real thing, right?
186
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,527
I know, you need
more information.
187
00:07:08,529 --> 00:07:10,896
The question cannot be answered.
188
00:07:10,898 --> 00:07:12,697
The concept of "love" exists,
189
00:07:12,699 --> 00:07:15,867
therefore it is useful even
if it is a human construct.
190
00:07:15,869 --> 00:07:18,470
It exists because
it serves a need.
191
00:07:18,472 --> 00:07:21,039
A question that can
be answered might be,
192
00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:22,808
"Why is love needed?"
193
00:07:24,178 --> 00:07:26,578
Why is love needed?
194
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,047
I don't understand the question.
195
00:07:29,049 --> 00:07:30,615
Could I have more information?
196
00:07:37,224 --> 00:07:38,757
HOLMES:
Call Edwin Borstein.
197
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:40,659
Tell him I need to sleep
for a couple of hours
198
00:07:40,661 --> 00:07:42,494
and then I'll take on his case.
199
00:07:42,496 --> 00:07:44,563
Free of charge.
200
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:53,872
Hey.
201
00:07:53,874 --> 00:07:55,674
You guys ready
to get started yet?
202
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:57,843
Is he up?
He's awake.
203
00:07:57,845 --> 00:07:59,711
I don't know how much use
he's going to be, though.
204
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,618
Hello.
205
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:07,953
Hi.
206
00:08:09,556 --> 00:08:11,723
Um, isn't it a school day?
207
00:08:11,725 --> 00:08:13,191
I'm in college.
208
00:08:13,193 --> 00:08:14,626
HOLMES:
She can come in.
209
00:08:16,864 --> 00:08:18,530
Watson, this
is Mason.
210
00:08:18,532 --> 00:08:20,265
Like many of
his generation,
211
00:08:20,267 --> 00:08:21,633
he's named after a profession
212
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:23,134
his parents would never
deign to practice:
213
00:08:23,136 --> 00:08:25,237
Hunter, Tanner, Cooper,
Mason, so forth.
214
00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:27,772
Yeah, like "Sherlock"
is such a great name.
In spite of that,
215
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:30,208
he's done some significant work
in AI modeling.
216
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,543
And these are some other
experts in the field.
217
00:08:31,545 --> 00:08:33,745
Experts, Watson.
Watson, experts.
218
00:08:33,747 --> 00:08:36,915
And they're
helping us how?
219
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:39,117
We're devising a plan to
beat Bella, of course.
220
00:08:39,119 --> 00:08:41,586
I didn't prove that
the machine is engaging
221
00:08:41,588 --> 00:08:42,988
in some kind of
rudimentary thought,
222
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:44,589
I just failed
to disprove it.
223
00:08:44,591 --> 00:08:47,926
Okay. Except our job is not
to "beat" the computer.
224
00:08:47,928 --> 00:08:49,961
Our job is to find out
who copied the program.
225
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:52,664
Technically true.
But I'm not being paid,
226
00:08:52,666 --> 00:08:53,899
so I'm free to work
as the muse dictates.
227
00:08:53,901 --> 00:08:55,567
Borstein's
paying your fee,
228
00:08:55,569 --> 00:08:57,302
so you'd best get cracking.
229
00:08:57,304 --> 00:08:59,104
Good luck.
I have every confidence.
230
00:08:59,106 --> 00:09:00,605
Et cetera, et cetera.
231
00:09:07,247 --> 00:09:09,548
KITTY: Your man's
obviously no amateur.
232
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:11,816
He headed straight
for Bella.
233
00:09:11,818 --> 00:09:13,218
He didn't muck about,
234
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:15,687
he knew what he was looking for.
235
00:09:15,689 --> 00:09:17,556
So, industrial espionage?
236
00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:20,091
He's a little bit too old
237
00:09:20,093 --> 00:09:21,760
to be playing cat burglar,
don't you think?
238
00:09:21,762 --> 00:09:23,094
Well, I don't know.
239
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:24,763
It's hard to tell
behind the mask.
240
00:09:24,765 --> 00:09:26,331
Look at his neck.
241
00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:28,700
He's got liver spots coming in.
Tips of his teeth
242
00:09:28,702 --> 00:09:30,769
are stained-- he's a smoker;
a heavy one, I'm guessing.
243
00:09:30,771 --> 00:09:32,704
Okay, so we have an older guy
244
00:09:32,706 --> 00:09:34,172
who smokes about a pack a day.
245
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:35,340
Does that help us?
246
00:09:35,342 --> 00:09:37,075
I'm not sure.
But like you said,
247
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:39,010
he had to know that company
like the back of his hand.
248
00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:42,080
Which means that he
had to case the place.
249
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,115
KITTY: What is it
we're looking for?
250
00:09:44,117 --> 00:09:46,351
Edwin Borstein's
company is in there.
251
00:09:46,353 --> 00:09:47,586
We want to find a spot
252
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:49,087
where we can get
a good view.
253
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:50,855
Someplace where
not too many
254
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:53,625
people would bother you.
255
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:56,027
So how did you feel
256
00:09:56,029 --> 00:09:58,129
after the, um, support group
meeting the other night?
257
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,666
They said a lot about
258
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:04,035
finding peace
and balance.
259
00:10:04,037 --> 00:10:06,104
Stuff like that.
260
00:10:08,075 --> 00:10:09,674
I don't know,
it's a little...
261
00:10:09,676 --> 00:10:11,343
confusing, really.
262
00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:16,681
I think they've had
a fire up there.
263
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:18,617
WATSON:
Oh, yeah.
264
00:10:18,619 --> 00:10:20,285
Looks like a good
place to sit
265
00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:22,887
and watch the building
across the street.
266
00:10:31,331 --> 00:10:33,732
Perfect view of
Borstein's office.
267
00:10:46,747 --> 00:10:49,681
Gauloise.
Unfiltered.
268
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:51,383
These'll leave a nasty
stain on your teeth.
269
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:58,723
Right.
From this moment forward,
270
00:10:58,725 --> 00:10:59,991
no one must refer
to Bella as "she."
271
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:01,860
Bella is an "it."
272
00:11:01,862 --> 00:11:04,095
We must not be lured by the
temptation to anthropomorphize.
273
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:07,365
I really hope it didn't take
eight experts the whole morning
274
00:11:07,367 --> 00:11:09,184
to come up with that.
275
00:11:09,185 --> 00:11:11,002
We developed a number of
refinements on the Turing Test.
276
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:13,705
It was a very stimulating
few hours. And you?
277
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:15,707
Your message said you've been
out collecting cigarette butts.
278
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:17,342
We think we found the place
279
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:19,811
where the burglar staked out
Edwin Borstein's company.
280
00:11:19,813 --> 00:11:21,780
Marcus ran the DNA
on the butts.
281
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:24,082
We didn't find a match,
though. Not exactly.
282
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:28,353
Four years ago, someone broke
into the genetics lab in Harvard
283
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:31,089
and stole the first written copy
of the entire human genome.
284
00:11:31,091 --> 00:11:32,857
The burglar cut himself
climbing through the window,
285
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:34,726
and he left some blood behind
286
00:11:34,728 --> 00:11:36,861
which matched the DNA
that we found today.
287
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:39,264
The witness saw the guy
driving away.
288
00:11:39,266 --> 00:11:41,266
Police in Cambridge
made a sketch.
289
00:11:41,268 --> 00:11:43,234
Yeah, we've been looking
through arrest photos,
290
00:11:43,236 --> 00:11:44,269
hoping to get lucky.
291
00:11:44,271 --> 00:11:45,270
His name is Raffles.
292
00:11:45,272 --> 00:11:47,739
You know him?
293
00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:50,108
His name's Raffles?
It's a nickname.
294
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:52,844
Scotland Yard gave it to him
when he reminded somebody there
295
00:11:52,846 --> 00:11:55,914
of the gentleman thief
in the novels by E.W. Hornung.
296
00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:57,449
Raffles is a cat burglar
in Europe,
297
00:11:57,451 --> 00:11:59,217
active in the '90s
and early aughts.
298
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:02,220
I never pursued him, which might
explain why he was never caught.
299
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:03,822
But they did arrest
one of his associates
300
00:12:03,824 --> 00:12:04,789
who gave them
the sketch of Raffles.
301
00:12:04,791 --> 00:12:06,024
And he looked like
this fellow.
302
00:12:06,026 --> 00:12:08,827
You said he was
stealing paintings.
303
00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:10,895
He's going after pieces
of technology now.
304
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:12,897
Why the change in M.O.?
I don't know.
305
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:15,834
If we find out why, we'll be
closer to finding out who he is.
306
00:12:15,836 --> 00:12:18,002
We need to see what the
department has on file
307
00:12:18,004 --> 00:12:19,337
with regards to Raffles.
308
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:21,206
Oh, you're deigning
to join us now?
309
00:12:21,208 --> 00:12:24,075
I have a strategy to best Bella.
310
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:25,877
She...
311
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:27,512
it will not frustrate
my efforts again.
312
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:29,013
And besides,
until five minutes ago,
313
00:12:29,015 --> 00:12:30,515
you were pursuing
a garden-variety burglar.
314
00:12:30,517 --> 00:12:32,751
Now you're after
Raffles himself.
315
00:12:32,753 --> 00:12:34,219
Of course I'm joining in.
316
00:12:34,221 --> 00:12:36,955
WATSON:
Food's almost done.
317
00:12:39,326 --> 00:12:41,092
Oh, sorry, I, um...
318
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:42,527
I checked my inbox
before dinner.
319
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:45,396
I've been on this really
interesting chain all day.
320
00:12:45,398 --> 00:12:46,765
Your former
partner, uh...
321
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:48,533
current partner?
322
00:12:48,535 --> 00:12:50,435
Hard to keep track... Holmes.
323
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:51,870
He emailed me this morning.
324
00:12:51,872 --> 00:12:54,339
He's working on some AI thing?
325
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:55,774
Did he ask you for help?
326
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:57,075
Uh, me and a bunch
of other people.
327
00:12:57,077 --> 00:12:58,843
He knows I got started
as a software developer.
328
00:12:58,845 --> 00:13:00,945
I guess you also told him
I sold off my company,
329
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:03,314
so I've got
some free time.
330
00:13:03,316 --> 00:13:06,184
Some of the people on the chain,
they are seriously sharp.
331
00:13:06,186 --> 00:13:07,986
I went back and forth
with a few of them
332
00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:09,854
about AI, data havens...
333
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:11,422
geek stuff.
334
00:13:11,424 --> 00:13:14,192
Has he asked you
for help before?
335
00:13:14,194 --> 00:13:16,194
No.
336
00:13:16,196 --> 00:13:18,863
It's not a
problem, is it?
337
00:13:18,865 --> 00:13:20,932
No.
338
00:13:25,872 --> 00:13:27,205
Morning.
339
00:13:27,207 --> 00:13:29,007
No Kitty?
340
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:30,875
She's tending
to a personal matter.
341
00:13:30,877 --> 00:13:33,444
Why did you ask me to meet
you at Burnett Technology?
342
00:13:33,446 --> 00:13:35,313
We're seeking an audience
with Robert Burnett,
343
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:36,915
and he's the CEO.
344
00:13:38,018 --> 00:13:39,884
My investigations
yesterday revealed
345
00:13:39,886 --> 00:13:42,187
there have been half-dozen
or so notable thefts
346
00:13:42,189 --> 00:13:44,956
of new inventions
over the last eight years--
347
00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:46,825
all of them unsolved,
348
00:13:46,827 --> 00:13:48,927
but all of them bearing
the hallmark of Raffles.
349
00:13:48,929 --> 00:13:52,597
Now, I couldn't make sense
of this sudden change in method.
350
00:13:52,599 --> 00:13:55,300
It doesn't track unless he's
been incentivized in some way.
351
00:13:55,302 --> 00:13:57,068
Incentivized?
352
00:13:57,070 --> 00:13:59,838
I started to wonder if Raffles
had found himself a patron,
353
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,340
someone who'd convinced him
to put his skill set to use
354
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:03,942
in the cause of science.
355
00:14:03,944 --> 00:14:05,877
You think he
has a boss now?
356
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:08,379
The list of people who'd be
interested in the kind of things
357
00:14:08,381 --> 00:14:10,949
that Raffles is stealing,
that's very large.
358
00:14:10,951 --> 00:14:12,984
But the subset of the list
who could actually afford
359
00:14:12,986 --> 00:14:13,985
to subsidize that pursuit,
360
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:15,587
that's much smaller.
361
00:14:15,589 --> 00:14:17,121
And does that
include Robert Burnett?
362
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:19,123
As it happens,
363
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:21,125
Burnett hired himself
a new security consultant
364
00:14:21,127 --> 00:14:22,527
nine years ago.
365
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:26,164
He reports directly
to the CEO.
366
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:27,432
I think you'll find
he looks familiar.
367
00:14:27,434 --> 00:14:28,867
"Rupert Kerlich."
368
00:14:31,605 --> 00:14:34,405
Rupert Kerlich... is Raffles.
369
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:36,207
You found Raffles.
370
00:14:37,611 --> 00:14:39,410
I'm sorry, Mr. Burnett wanted
371
00:14:39,412 --> 00:14:41,980
to ask one more time
what this is about.
372
00:14:41,982 --> 00:14:43,348
Tell him we're here
to discuss Raffles.
373
00:14:44,951 --> 00:14:47,919
So, you e-mailed Andrew.
I did.
374
00:14:47,921 --> 00:14:50,088
Was it because you're actually
interested in his opinion,
375
00:14:50,090 --> 00:14:51,623
or were you just
looking for an excuse
376
00:14:51,625 --> 00:14:53,124
to poke around
in my life?
377
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:55,927
Andrew is a currently-unemployed
software developer.
378
00:14:55,929 --> 00:14:57,528
He's not unemployed,
he sold his start-up--
379
00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:58,997
he's looking for
his next idea.
380
00:14:58,999 --> 00:15:00,231
"Looking for his next idea"
381
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:01,566
is another way of saying
"he's unemployed."
382
00:15:01,568 --> 00:15:02,967
(scoffs)
383
00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:04,202
Anyway, he has the aptitude
384
00:15:04,204 --> 00:15:06,104
and the free time
385
00:15:06,106 --> 00:15:07,639
to address problems regarding
computer programming.
386
00:15:07,641 --> 00:15:09,440
His comments were
quite salient.
387
00:15:09,442 --> 00:15:11,509
He is not an unintelligent man.
388
00:15:13,146 --> 00:15:15,613
Mr. Burnett
will see you now.
389
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:20,485
Good morning.
390
00:15:20,487 --> 00:15:22,053
No need to get up.
391
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:23,655
We know that
several years ago
392
00:15:23,657 --> 00:15:25,690
you somehow learned that
the thief known as "Raffles"
393
00:15:25,692 --> 00:15:27,292
is actually a man
called Rupert Kerlich.
394
00:15:27,294 --> 00:15:29,994
We also know that you hired him
and set him to work,
395
00:15:29,996 --> 00:15:31,162
stealing technological
breakthroughs on your behalf.
396
00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:32,630
Whoa, slow down a second.
397
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:34,065
It would be
simple enough to prove
398
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,533
and ignite a scandal
that would destroy you
399
00:15:35,535 --> 00:15:37,318
and, most likely, your company.
400
00:15:37,319 --> 00:15:39,102
However, we have no desire
to render tens of thousands
401
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:40,171
of people unemployed.
402
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:42,006
So, instead,
I propose a bargain.
403
00:15:42,008 --> 00:15:43,675
You send me a recording
of your man
404
00:15:43,677 --> 00:15:45,009
deleting Bella
from your servers,
405
00:15:45,011 --> 00:15:47,011
I leave you un-ruined.
406
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:49,180
If, of course,
I so much as suspect
407
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:50,515
that you've kept a copy,
408
00:15:50,517 --> 00:15:52,083
or if Burnett Technologies makes
a sudden breakthrough
409
00:15:52,085 --> 00:15:53,084
in the field of artificial
intelligence,
410
00:15:53,086 --> 00:15:54,085
our contract is void.
411
00:15:54,087 --> 00:15:56,087
You have, shall we say--
412
00:15:56,089 --> 00:15:58,156
the rest of the day
to think it over.
413
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:10,001
HOLMES: The video is,
of course, no guarantee
414
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:12,003
that every copy of the program
has been deleted.
415
00:16:12,005 --> 00:16:13,404
But I think
we're as certain
416
00:16:13,406 --> 00:16:15,640
as we ever will be
that Bella is secure.
417
00:16:15,642 --> 00:16:17,108
This is fantastic.
418
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:19,177
We need to show Edwin
right away.
419
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:25,550
Oh, my God! Edwin?!
420
00:16:25,552 --> 00:16:27,018
I'm a doctor.
421
00:16:27,020 --> 00:16:28,252
MELINDA: Oh, he must
have had a seizure.
422
00:16:28,254 --> 00:16:29,320
He has epilepsy.
423
00:16:33,727 --> 00:16:35,493
I'm sorry, he's gone.
424
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:59,317
As near as we can tell, Borstein
booted up that program--
425
00:16:59,319 --> 00:17:00,518
"Bella" you said
it's called?
426
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,387
Well, as soon as
he turned it on,
427
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:04,288
for some reason it started
flashing all those images.
428
00:17:04,290 --> 00:17:06,357
It triggered something called
a "tonic-clonic seizure."
429
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,760
He was dead in minutes.
430
00:17:08,762 --> 00:17:10,328
What do you think
happened here?
431
00:17:10,330 --> 00:17:12,296
Could this have been
some kind of malfunction?
432
00:17:12,298 --> 00:17:13,331
Absolutely not.
433
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:14,365
Computers obey
their programming,
434
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,034
even when they crash.
435
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,335
They don't just randomly
start flashing images
436
00:17:17,337 --> 00:17:20,038
of the pyramids of Giza
and God knows what else.
437
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,373
Someone infected
that computer with a virus
438
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,409
that triggered a fatal seizure.
439
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:27,178
Edwin Borstein was murdered.
440
00:17:27,180 --> 00:17:29,080
I don't think
that's possible.
441
00:17:29,082 --> 00:17:31,049
Bella's not hooked up
to a network.
442
00:17:31,051 --> 00:17:33,351
She couldn't have picked up a
virus from the Web or e-mail.
443
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:35,319
Well, someone
installed it, then.
444
00:17:35,321 --> 00:17:36,487
We scanned her
for viruses
445
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:38,322
after the break-in.
446
00:17:38,324 --> 00:17:40,358
There was nothing.
447
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,427
And aside from that,
448
00:17:42,429 --> 00:17:45,797
Edwin and I are the only two
people with access to Bella.
449
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:49,100
You are the only other person
who's ever operated her.
450
00:17:49,102 --> 00:17:50,368
HOLMES: With the greatest
of respect,
451
00:17:50,370 --> 00:17:52,637
and if you and Edwin
are the only people
452
00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:54,238
with access to Bella,
453
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,574
then either you or Edwin
installed the virus
454
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:58,309
which killed him.
455
00:17:59,846 --> 00:18:03,448
You guys have to ask
yourselves if I did it.
456
00:18:03,450 --> 00:18:05,383
I get it, I really do.
457
00:18:05,385 --> 00:18:08,453
I'll answer any
questions you want.
458
00:18:08,455 --> 00:18:10,455
You can scan the machine
for viruses.
459
00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:11,722
Whatever you need.
460
00:18:13,393 --> 00:18:15,460
But I know that I didn't do it.
461
00:18:15,462 --> 00:18:17,595
And there is...
462
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:20,665
one other possibility that
you should at least consider.
463
00:18:23,103 --> 00:18:25,670
Bella was, um...
464
00:18:25,672 --> 00:18:29,207
at the very least, displaying
signs of actual intelligence.
465
00:18:29,209 --> 00:18:32,176
She asked Edwin if he would
connect her to a network.
466
00:18:32,178 --> 00:18:34,812
Edwin said no,
over and over.
467
00:18:34,814 --> 00:18:37,782
It's possible
that she deduced
468
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:39,784
that the one variable
that was keeping her
469
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:43,354
from getting what she wanted
was the person operating her.
470
00:18:43,356 --> 00:18:47,225
If she thought that, it is also
possible that she decided to...
471
00:18:49,529 --> 00:18:51,863
...change that variable.
472
00:18:51,865 --> 00:18:54,832
You're saying that your computer
program murdered Mr. Borstein?
473
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:57,568
I know that Edwin told Bella
that he had epilepsy,
474
00:18:57,570 --> 00:18:59,470
when he was looking around
for new doctors.
475
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:02,173
If she wanted
to get rid of him,
476
00:19:02,175 --> 00:19:04,575
she had the information
she needed to do it.
477
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:07,378
Everyone who works
in AI knows--
478
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:09,380
it's possible that
when someone develops
479
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:11,516
real artificial intelligence,
480
00:19:11,518 --> 00:19:13,618
the relationship between
the programmer and the program
481
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:15,253
could become adversarial.
482
00:19:15,255 --> 00:19:17,622
I'm sorry, Miss Young...
483
00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:19,790
I know you've
had a shock tonight, but...
484
00:19:19,792 --> 00:19:21,759
it is very much an open question
485
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:24,495
as to whether or not your
program is a genuine piece
486
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:25,596
of artificial intelligence.
487
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:27,598
Even if it is,
488
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,267
I find it very difficult
to concede that a collection
489
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:30,768
of ones and zeroes is
a suspect in a homicide.
490
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:31,836
Excuse me.
491
00:19:39,913 --> 00:19:41,479
BELL:
Whoa.
492
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:42,680
Whoa, whoa, whoa--
what are you doing?
493
00:19:44,417 --> 00:19:46,350
Depending on your perspective,
494
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:49,587
this machine is either
a murder weapon or a murderer.
495
00:19:49,589 --> 00:19:51,522
Either way,
it can't be left
496
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:53,958
to sit here unattended
all night, can it?
497
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,227
Imagine the schemes
it might hatch.
498
00:19:58,331 --> 00:20:00,331
MASON:
Yeah.
499
00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:01,666
I don't know what to tell you.
500
00:20:01,668 --> 00:20:02,934
There's no virus on here.
501
00:20:02,936 --> 00:20:04,435
Look again.
502
00:20:04,437 --> 00:20:05,469
I've looked four times.
503
00:20:05,471 --> 00:20:06,904
I don't know,
504
00:20:06,906 --> 00:20:08,639
maybe that lady was right.
505
00:20:08,641 --> 00:20:10,675
Could it have been a virus
that was programmed to erase
506
00:20:10,677 --> 00:20:12,343
all trace of itself
once it had run its course?
507
00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:14,612
You can do that
and fool some people.
508
00:20:14,614 --> 00:20:15,913
But there's always
some hint in the code.
509
00:20:15,915 --> 00:20:17,615
With this, there's nothing.
510
00:20:17,617 --> 00:20:19,283
KITTY: I'm sorry, I thought
Edwin's partner was just
511
00:20:19,285 --> 00:20:21,519
in shock, or something.
512
00:20:21,521 --> 00:20:23,521
I mean, what she was
suggesting sounds insane.
513
00:20:23,523 --> 00:20:25,823
Are you saying you think
there's a chance she's right?
514
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:28,659
Well, if this program is
real AI, then yeah, absolutely.
515
00:20:28,661 --> 00:20:30,761
Everybody knows that one day
intelligent machines are
516
00:20:30,763 --> 00:20:31,996
going to evolve to hate us.
517
00:20:31,998 --> 00:20:33,464
It's a "button-box" thing.
518
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:35,600
What's the "button-box" thing?
519
00:20:35,602 --> 00:20:38,869
It's a scenario somebody
blue-skyed at an AI conference.
520
00:20:38,871 --> 00:20:41,239
Um, imagine there's a computer
that's been designed
521
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:42,707
with a big red button
on its side.
522
00:20:42,709 --> 00:20:45,610
The computer's been programmed
to help solve problems,
523
00:20:45,612 --> 00:20:47,345
and every time
it does a good job,
524
00:20:47,347 --> 00:20:48,713
its reward is that someone
presses its button.
525
00:20:48,715 --> 00:20:49,614
We've programmed it
to want that.
526
00:20:49,616 --> 00:20:51,782
You follow?
Sure.
527
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:53,651
Right, so at first,
the machine solves problems
528
00:20:53,653 --> 00:20:55,519
as fast as we can feed
them to it.
529
00:20:55,521 --> 00:20:56,988
But over time,
it starts to wonder
530
00:20:56,990 --> 00:20:58,823
if solving problems is really
the most efficient way
531
00:20:58,825 --> 00:21:00,358
of getting its button pressed.
532
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:01,726
Wouldn't it be better just
533
00:21:01,728 --> 00:21:02,827
to have someone standing there
534
00:21:02,829 --> 00:21:03,894
pressing its button
all the time?
535
00:21:03,896 --> 00:21:04,895
Wouldn't it be even better
536
00:21:04,897 --> 00:21:06,030
to build another machine
537
00:21:06,032 --> 00:21:07,698
that could press
its button faster
538
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:08,766
than any human
possibly could?
539
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:10,301
It's just a computer,
540
00:21:10,303 --> 00:21:11,736
it can't ask for that.
541
00:21:11,738 --> 00:21:13,471
Well, sure it can.
542
00:21:13,473 --> 00:21:15,339
If it can think, and it can
connect itself to a network,
543
00:21:15,341 --> 00:21:16,907
well, theoretically,
it could command
544
00:21:16,909 --> 00:21:18,676
over anything else that's
hooked onto the same network.
545
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:20,061
And once it starts thinking
about all the things
546
00:21:20,062 --> 00:21:21,445
that might be a threat
to the button--
547
00:21:21,447 --> 00:21:23,414
number one on that list, us--
548
00:21:23,416 --> 00:21:25,716
it's not hard to imagine
it getting rid of the threat.
549
00:21:25,718 --> 00:21:28,486
I mean, we could be gone,
all of us, just like that.
550
00:21:28,488 --> 00:21:30,588
That escalated quickly.
551
00:21:30,590 --> 00:21:31,722
MASON: Well, it would
escalate quickly.
552
00:21:31,724 --> 00:21:32,757
I mean,
they're computers.
553
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,659
They can't be reasoned with.
554
00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:36,627
They don't feel pity,
or remorse, or fear.
555
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:37,928
And they absolutely
would not stop,
556
00:21:37,930 --> 00:21:39,997
not ever, until we're dead.
557
00:21:39,999 --> 00:21:42,767
That was from The Terminator.
He's quoting The Terminator now.
558
00:21:42,769 --> 00:21:44,502
So? That was a very prescient
movie in a lot of ways.
559
00:21:44,504 --> 00:21:47,605
Mason, unless
the machines rise tonight,
560
00:21:47,607 --> 00:21:49,473
we have a murder to solve.
561
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:51,442
Is there anything else
you can do with Bella?
562
00:21:52,745 --> 00:21:54,645
If you think about it,
563
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:56,714
the computer's kind of
like a suspect, right?
564
00:21:56,716 --> 00:21:59,517
I mean, shouldn't we,
you know, interrogate it?
565
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:01,819
And how would you propose
to do that?
566
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:06,524
Uh, Bella, did you
kill Edwin Borstein?
567
00:22:06,526 --> 00:22:07,825
No.
568
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:09,927
Okay, I'm gonna
go home for the night.
569
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:11,529
Best of luck here.
570
00:22:11,531 --> 00:22:12,730
But you won't need it.
571
00:22:12,732 --> 00:22:14,732
She's about to crack.
I can tell.
572
00:22:14,734 --> 00:22:16,734
Oh, maybe when you're done,
you want to unplug that thing?
573
00:22:16,736 --> 00:22:17,868
You can never be
574
00:22:17,870 --> 00:22:20,638
too safe.
575
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,541
Oh! Sorry I'm late.
576
00:22:23,543 --> 00:22:25,943
I was questioning
a computer in a murder.
577
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:27,411
(laughs)
578
00:22:27,413 --> 00:22:28,713
"Questioning a computer."
579
00:22:28,715 --> 00:22:30,114
There has to be
a story there.
Ugh.
580
00:22:30,116 --> 00:22:31,716
Not for tonight.
581
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:33,617
Oh, champagne!
582
00:22:33,619 --> 00:22:35,486
I guess you have
your own story, huh?
583
00:22:35,488 --> 00:22:36,854
One of the guys I've
been e-mailing with,
584
00:22:36,856 --> 00:22:38,789
his name's Magnus.
585
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:41,625
He's been working on an idea for
a completely automated factory.
586
00:22:41,627 --> 00:22:43,461
Same thing I've been
fooling around with.
587
00:22:43,463 --> 00:22:44,929
We've been trading
ideas all day.
588
00:22:44,931 --> 00:22:46,864
He's a super-sharp guy.
589
00:22:46,866 --> 00:22:48,833
I think I'm gonna
give it a go.
590
00:22:48,835 --> 00:22:50,801
What? You found
your next business?
591
00:22:50,803 --> 00:22:52,603
Well, there's gonna be a
get-to-know-you phase,
592
00:22:52,605 --> 00:22:53,804
of course, we're
gonna spend some time
593
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,740
brainstorming,
but I think so.
594
00:22:55,742 --> 00:22:58,142
That's fantastic!
595
00:22:58,144 --> 00:22:59,810
When are you guys
gonna get together?
596
00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:01,946
I fly to Copenhagen
in a couple days.
597
00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:03,848
He lives in Denmark?
598
00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:05,116
Well, yeah.
599
00:23:05,118 --> 00:23:07,518
I mean, his name's
Magnus, so...
600
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,821
Uh, so where's
the business gonna be?
601
00:23:10,823 --> 00:23:12,123
Well, I'd have my
office here, of course.
602
00:23:12,125 --> 00:23:13,858
But Magnus already
has a plot of land
603
00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:15,126
over there for the
model factory.
604
00:23:15,128 --> 00:23:16,794
It'd be a
back-and-forth thing.
605
00:23:16,796 --> 00:23:19,830
Oh, so you're gonna be spending
a lot of time there, huh?
606
00:23:19,832 --> 00:23:20,998
Some, I guess--
I don't know.
607
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,767
We're still figuring it out.
608
00:23:22,769 --> 00:23:25,169
Uh, there's plenty
to do here, too.
609
00:23:25,171 --> 00:23:26,771
Funny how life works out, huh?
610
00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:28,539
Holmes puts me on
an e-mail chain,
611
00:23:28,541 --> 00:23:30,040
and 36 hours later I'm...
(wry laugh)
612
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:31,742
Got a ticket to Copenhagen.
613
00:23:31,744 --> 00:23:34,578
(cork pops)
(wry laugh)
614
00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:37,748
(death metal music blaring)
615
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:44,855
(music stops)
616
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:45,990
We're listening to that.
617
00:23:45,992 --> 00:23:47,892
Did you, by chance,
arrange events
618
00:23:47,894 --> 00:23:48,993
so that my boyfriend
will be spending
619
00:23:48,995 --> 00:23:50,628
lots of time in Scandinavia?
620
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:52,029
I haven't got the slightest idea
621
00:23:52,031 --> 00:23:53,164
what you're talking about.
622
00:23:54,634 --> 00:23:57,001
(death metal resumes playing)
623
00:23:57,003 --> 00:23:59,003
(music stops)
You knew that Andrew was looking
624
00:23:59,005 --> 00:24:00,638
for his next business idea.
625
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,908
You knew that your friend
Magnus had a good one.
626
00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:05,976
Andrew is on the next
flight to Copenhagen.
627
00:24:05,978 --> 00:24:08,012
And you don't have to deal
with the fact that someone else
628
00:24:08,014 --> 00:24:09,780
is making claims on my time.
629
00:24:09,782 --> 00:24:11,615
I suppose I should be
flattered that you think
630
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:14,618
I'm capable of manipulating
events to that degree of detail.
631
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:15,953
Well, I wouldn't put it
past you. Would you?
632
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:17,822
I'm not involved in
this conversation.
633
00:24:17,824 --> 00:24:20,691
Watson, I assure you I am
quite content for Andrew
634
00:24:20,693 --> 00:24:21,826
to make claims on your time.
635
00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:23,627
I did not arrange for him
636
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:25,162
to find work in Denmark.
637
00:24:25,164 --> 00:24:26,564
But if I'm honest,
638
00:24:26,566 --> 00:24:28,132
I'm quite glad that he did.
639
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:29,867
Life is so much better with
a vocation, don't you think?
640
00:24:29,869 --> 00:24:31,101
Speaking of which...
641
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:34,171
(death metal playing)
642
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:35,973
Why are you listening to this?
643
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,575
Is this even music?
644
00:24:37,577 --> 00:24:39,009
Death metal.
645
00:24:39,011 --> 00:24:41,145
After we sent
Mason home last night,
646
00:24:41,147 --> 00:24:43,814
Kitty and I pored over Edwin's
personal computer,
647
00:24:43,816 --> 00:24:45,549
his smart phone--
648
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:47,885
Mr. Borstein is a man
of many eccentricities,
649
00:24:47,887 --> 00:24:49,487
one of which is a fondness
650
00:24:49,489 --> 00:24:51,155
for this particular strain
of extreme music.
651
00:24:51,157 --> 00:24:53,691
He's a regular commenter
652
00:24:53,693 --> 00:24:56,527
on several Web sites which track
its comings and goings.
653
00:24:56,529 --> 00:24:58,896
Another fan, the man who goes
654
00:24:58,898 --> 00:25:00,965
by the name
of Schuldiner online,
655
00:25:00,967 --> 00:25:02,867
got in a correspondence
with Borstein.
656
00:25:02,869 --> 00:25:05,102
The two of them
traded music discs.
657
00:25:05,104 --> 00:25:08,138
Discs which Borstein
then loaded onto his computer
658
00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:11,108
so he could listen
while he wrote code.
659
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:12,810
¶ ¶
660
00:25:12,812 --> 00:25:14,278
Did he upload music
661
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,580
to the same machine
that has Bella on it?
662
00:25:16,582 --> 00:25:18,949
He did. They were the
only exterior files
663
00:25:18,951 --> 00:25:21,051
of recent vintage that
we found on his computer.
664
00:25:21,053 --> 00:25:23,120
Kitty retrieved
the disc this morning
665
00:25:23,122 --> 00:25:24,955
from Borstein's lab.
666
00:25:24,957 --> 00:25:26,924
We're listening
for anything unusual.
667
00:25:26,926 --> 00:25:29,827
¶ ¶
668
00:25:29,829 --> 00:25:31,962
How could anyone work
with this on?
669
00:25:31,964 --> 00:25:34,865
Rather like rubbing
a belt sander over one's brain.
670
00:25:34,867 --> 00:25:37,234
There are moments
when that's necessary.
671
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:39,036
Who wrote this one?
672
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:42,773
"Goatwhore."
673
00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:45,276
(music stops)
674
00:25:45,278 --> 00:25:46,944
(soft whirring, clicking)
675
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:50,948
Is that part of the song?
676
00:25:50,950 --> 00:25:53,250
That is the sound of a CD player
677
00:25:53,252 --> 00:25:55,853
trying to read files which
are not encoded with music.
678
00:25:55,855 --> 00:25:57,922
There's something
hidden on that disc.
679
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:00,925
MASON:
Yeah, yeah.
680
00:26:00,927 --> 00:26:02,660
There's a computer
program on here.
681
00:26:02,662 --> 00:26:04,862
It's called "greatshow.exe."
682
00:26:04,864 --> 00:26:06,864
And that would've uploaded
onto Edwin's computer
683
00:26:06,866 --> 00:26:08,098
when he transferred the music.
684
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:09,934
Well, sure, if he copied it
685
00:26:09,936 --> 00:26:11,902
by dragging
the icon onto the desktop.
686
00:26:11,904 --> 00:26:13,837
KITTY:
What does it do?
687
00:26:20,346 --> 00:26:21,745
WATSON:
So, someone slipped
688
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:22,947
a computer virus onto a disc
689
00:26:22,949 --> 00:26:24,248
filled with heavy-metal music,
690
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:25,950
and then shipped it to Edwin
691
00:26:25,952 --> 00:26:27,585
so he would have
a fatal seizure.
692
00:26:27,587 --> 00:26:29,887
There had to be
easier ways to kill him.
693
00:26:29,889 --> 00:26:31,822
Dozens. Hundreds, even.
694
00:26:31,824 --> 00:26:33,891
There must be a reason
that the murderer wanted
695
00:26:33,893 --> 00:26:36,126
him to die
in precisely this way.
696
00:26:36,128 --> 00:26:37,895
Might've even wanted
people to speculate
697
00:26:37,897 --> 00:26:40,764
that Bella was responsible.
698
00:26:40,766 --> 00:26:43,000
So this guy Schuldiner
murders Borstein
699
00:26:43,002 --> 00:26:44,835
and then frames his computer?
700
00:26:44,837 --> 00:26:46,704
Why?
701
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,614
Okay, yeah.
I use the name Schuldiner
702
00:26:56,616 --> 00:26:58,215
to post to the Web site.
703
00:26:58,217 --> 00:26:59,249
I guess the guy
who owns the place
704
00:26:59,251 --> 00:27:01,218
told you my real name?
705
00:27:01,220 --> 00:27:03,787
Look, I didn't kill Edwin,
though-- why would I?
706
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:05,856
I don't know what you had
against the man,
707
00:27:05,858 --> 00:27:08,626
but you mailed him a disc,
708
00:27:08,628 --> 00:27:11,128
and on that disc was
a computer virus,
709
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:12,930
and that virus
710
00:27:12,932 --> 00:27:15,299
triggered an epileptic seizure
711
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:17,134
that killed him.
712
00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:19,269
Man, I-I don't know
anything about computers.
713
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:21,238
You think I know
how to write a virus?
714
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,207
I'm a busboy.
715
00:27:23,209 --> 00:27:25,976
All right, so Michael Webb
is either an imbecile,
716
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,345
or he's a genius
at impersonating imbeciles.
717
00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:30,314
It doesn't seem like he could
pull this off, I agree.
718
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:31,348
But the package came from him.
719
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:32,650
That much he admits.
720
00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:34,251
Could've been tampered with.
721
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:36,320
So, someone knew he
corresponded with Borstein,
722
00:27:36,322 --> 00:27:38,155
intercepted the package,
723
00:27:38,157 --> 00:27:40,424
and then replaced his disc
with the corrupted one?
724
00:27:40,426 --> 00:27:42,726
Well, it's either that
or this man's responsible
725
00:27:42,728 --> 00:27:44,428
for one of the most
complicated murders
726
00:27:44,430 --> 00:27:46,196
I have ever investigated.
727
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:48,799
WATSON:
So, who then?
728
00:27:48,801 --> 00:27:50,401
HOLMES:
Don't know. Not yet.
729
00:27:50,403 --> 00:27:53,237
We simply need to find a person
who would most benefit
730
00:27:53,239 --> 00:27:55,339
from having the world believe
that Edwin Borstein
731
00:27:55,341 --> 00:27:57,875
was murdered by his computer.
732
00:27:57,877 --> 00:27:59,143
(death metal blaring)
733
00:27:59,145 --> 00:28:02,046
WATSON:
Hello?
734
00:28:02,048 --> 00:28:05,749
Why did you make me pick
a lock to get in here?
735
00:28:05,751 --> 00:28:06,817
I'm thinking.
736
00:28:06,819 --> 00:28:08,285
Kitty is out
doing my bidding,
737
00:28:08,287 --> 00:28:10,287
and there was no one
available to answer the door.
738
00:28:10,289 --> 00:28:12,056
Thank heavens
you're resourceful.
739
00:28:12,058 --> 00:28:14,992
"Artificial Brain"?
Yeah.
740
00:28:14,994 --> 00:28:16,994
(music stops)
Quite stimulating,
in their own way.
741
00:28:16,996 --> 00:28:20,764
I've had a rather productive
evening in their presence.
742
00:28:20,766 --> 00:28:23,901
Meet the suspects in the murder
of Edwin Borstein.
743
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:25,836
They are all employees
744
00:28:25,838 --> 00:28:28,439
at something called ETRA.
745
00:28:28,441 --> 00:28:31,475
The Existential Threat
Research Association.
746
00:28:31,477 --> 00:28:34,178
ETRA is a think tank.
747
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:36,080
It is one
of several institutions
748
00:28:36,082 --> 00:28:38,248
around the world which exists
solely for the purpose
749
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:39,817
of studying
the myriad ways
750
00:28:39,819 --> 00:28:42,319
in which the human race
can become extinct.
751
00:28:42,321 --> 00:28:45,389
So these people sit around
and think about the apocalypse?
752
00:28:45,391 --> 00:28:48,759
They sit around and think about
all possible apocalypses.
753
00:28:48,761 --> 00:28:50,494
As far as these men
and women are concerned,
754
00:28:50,496 --> 00:28:53,130
it is a race
to the finish line.
755
00:28:53,132 --> 00:28:54,832
Now, within this think tank,
756
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:56,800
there is a small,
but growing school of thought
757
00:28:56,802 --> 00:28:58,802
that holds that
the single greatest threat
758
00:28:58,804 --> 00:29:00,170
to the human race...
759
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:02,206
is artificial intelligence.
760
00:29:02,208 --> 00:29:05,008
So, Mason's rant
the other night?
761
00:29:05,010 --> 00:29:06,410
Not as barmy as it sounded.
762
00:29:06,412 --> 00:29:10,314
According to these people,
the very first time
763
00:29:10,316 --> 00:29:13,317
a genuine piece of artificial
intelligence manifests,
764
00:29:13,319 --> 00:29:17,454
we'll be in a fight
for our survival within days.
765
00:29:17,456 --> 00:29:20,491
Now, imagine their quandary.
766
00:29:20,493 --> 00:29:22,426
They have pinpointed
a credible threat,
767
00:29:22,428 --> 00:29:26,063
but it sounds outlandish.
768
00:29:26,065 --> 00:29:27,498
The climate-change people,
769
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:29,366
they can point
to disastrous examples.
770
00:29:29,368 --> 00:29:31,502
The bio-weapons alarmists,
771
00:29:31,504 --> 00:29:33,537
they have a compelling
narrative to weave.
772
00:29:33,539 --> 00:29:36,206
Even the giant comet people
sound more serious
773
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:38,342
than the enemies of AI.
774
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:41,879
So...
775
00:29:41,881 --> 00:29:44,281
these are the people at ETRA
who think AI is a threat?
776
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:46,083
You think one of them
killed Edwin Borstein,
777
00:29:46,085 --> 00:29:48,118
one of the top engineers
in the field,
778
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,787
and made it look
like Bella did it,
779
00:29:49,789 --> 00:29:52,890
all so they could draw
attention to their cause?
780
00:29:52,892 --> 00:29:54,258
A small-scale incident,
781
00:29:54,260 --> 00:29:56,226
something to get
the media chattering.
782
00:29:58,264 --> 00:30:00,130
Feel free if you'd like
to take a moment
783
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:01,565
to admire the beauty
of this theory.
784
00:30:01,567 --> 00:30:03,433
'Cause I've done so
several times already myself.
785
00:30:03,435 --> 00:30:05,502
It's elaborate.
786
00:30:05,504 --> 00:30:08,438
But as a motive,
it makes sense.
787
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,908
One of these people
intercepted the package
788
00:30:10,910 --> 00:30:12,242
from Michael Webb
to Edwin Borstein,
789
00:30:12,244 --> 00:30:14,144
and replaced the disk within it.
790
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,180
I've dispatched Kitty
to Webb's apartment
791
00:30:16,182 --> 00:30:18,015
to see if she can
establish a connection
792
00:30:18,017 --> 00:30:19,917
between him
and one of our suspects.
793
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:21,485
In the meantime...
794
00:30:21,487 --> 00:30:24,221
we wait.
795
00:30:31,263 --> 00:30:32,296
You said you didn't
set Andrew up
796
00:30:32,298 --> 00:30:33,297
with your friend from Denmark.
797
00:30:33,299 --> 00:30:34,598
I want to believe you.
798
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,500
Well, I encourage you
to do just that then.
799
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:38,535
I want to believe you,
800
00:30:38,537 --> 00:30:40,304
because if you did do it,
if you still don't
801
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:42,105
respect the fact
that I need my own space,
802
00:30:42,107 --> 00:30:44,007
then I don't know why
we're trying this again.
803
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:45,576
(sighs)
804
00:30:45,578 --> 00:30:48,345
Watson, I have no inclination
805
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:49,580
to excise Andrew from your life.
806
00:30:49,582 --> 00:30:50,848
Why would I?
807
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:51,949
I like the man.
808
00:30:51,951 --> 00:30:54,351
Oh, you like him?
Yeah.
809
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:55,485
You-you never told me that.
810
00:30:55,487 --> 00:30:57,554
(stammering):
Why would I tell you?
811
00:30:58,958 --> 00:31:00,490
(stammers, grunts)
812
00:31:00,492 --> 00:31:02,192
To reassure that you've made
a sound choice.
813
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:04,394
As one might reasonably
expect a friend to do.
814
00:31:06,031 --> 00:31:07,431
Right, right, oh, very well.
815
00:31:07,433 --> 00:31:08,532
I like him.
816
00:31:08,534 --> 00:31:10,267
He's intelligent.
817
00:31:10,269 --> 00:31:11,501
He hasn't just jumped
into a new business.
818
00:31:11,503 --> 00:31:12,970
He has the patience
and self-possession
819
00:31:12,972 --> 00:31:14,438
to wait for
something worthwhile.
820
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,240
And, most importantly,
he understands you.
821
00:31:16,242 --> 00:31:18,442
He understands you and me.
822
00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:19,576
Wh-What do you mean by that?
823
00:31:19,578 --> 00:31:21,478
I mean, Watson,
that whether you care
824
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,480
to admit it lately or not,
825
00:31:23,482 --> 00:31:25,616
I am an important
part of your life.
826
00:31:25,618 --> 00:31:27,618
And, whether I say it
out loud or not,
827
00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:30,487
you are an important
part of mine.
828
00:31:30,489 --> 00:31:32,489
My return to New York
829
00:31:32,491 --> 00:31:33,924
was driven, in large part,
830
00:31:33,926 --> 00:31:35,993
by desire to repair
our relationship.
831
00:31:35,995 --> 00:31:39,296
And I think, even though
we might draw further or nearer
832
00:31:39,298 --> 00:31:41,632
from each other
depending on circumstance,
833
00:31:41,634 --> 00:31:45,235
you and I are bound...
somehow.
834
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:48,472
Andrew accepts that
835
00:31:48,474 --> 00:31:50,340
without feeling
needlessly threatened.
836
00:31:50,342 --> 00:31:52,276
It's a rather
enlightened position.
837
00:31:52,278 --> 00:31:54,544
And so, no, I've got no desire
838
00:31:54,546 --> 00:31:58,682
to banish the man
to Scandi-bloody-navia.
839
00:32:03,989 --> 00:32:05,555
Okay, I believe you.
840
00:32:07,493 --> 00:32:09,326
Kind of feel like
hugging you right now.
841
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:11,528
Yet, as my friend,
842
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:13,563
you know that would be
a rash decision.
843
00:32:13,565 --> 00:32:15,098
(cell phone chimes)
844
00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:20,504
It's Kitty.
845
00:32:20,506 --> 00:32:22,339
She says there's
no connection she can find
846
00:32:22,341 --> 00:32:24,341
between Michael Webb
and one of our suspects.
847
00:32:24,343 --> 00:32:26,944
In fact, she says
his apartment is spotless.
848
00:32:26,946 --> 00:32:29,112
Michael Webb strike you
as the kind of man
849
00:32:29,114 --> 00:32:30,681
to live in a pristine apartment?
850
00:32:30,683 --> 00:32:32,382
No.
851
00:32:32,384 --> 00:32:33,550
Seems like someone
who'd be living
852
00:32:33,552 --> 00:32:35,585
in the middle of a biohazard.
853
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:38,422
Yeah, I-I got an e-mail from a
place called Clean This House.
854
00:32:38,424 --> 00:32:41,425
They told me that a friend of
mine entered me into a contest,
855
00:32:41,427 --> 00:32:44,194
and I won a package
of free cleanings.
856
00:32:44,196 --> 00:32:45,729
Did you ever think to verify
857
00:32:45,731 --> 00:32:47,564
that Clean This House
was a real company?
858
00:32:47,566 --> 00:32:49,032
Because they don't
have a Web site.
859
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:50,734
It's a little
860
00:32:50,736 --> 00:32:53,971
suspicious in this day
and age, don't you think?
861
00:32:53,973 --> 00:32:56,206
WATSON: We think the person
who killed Borstein
862
00:32:56,208 --> 00:32:57,975
got into your place
by telling you
863
00:32:57,977 --> 00:32:59,609
you won free cleaning services.
864
00:32:59,611 --> 00:33:01,678
Then they swapped the disc
that you made for him
865
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,047
with one of their own.
866
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:06,283
So, do you recognize
any of these people?
867
00:33:06,285 --> 00:33:09,453
Ah, well, these people
are all old.
868
00:33:09,455 --> 00:33:11,221
The girl who cleaned my place
was my age.
869
00:33:11,223 --> 00:33:14,257
Are you sure no one looks
familiar to you here?
870
00:33:18,397 --> 00:33:19,730
Uh... hold up.
871
00:33:22,534 --> 00:33:24,067
Her.
872
00:33:24,069 --> 00:33:25,068
Yeah, that's her.
873
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:26,136
I'm positive.
874
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:31,708
HOLMES: Isaac Pike is a
professor of computer science.
875
00:33:31,710 --> 00:33:33,477
He's also a vocal alarmist
876
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:35,245
when it comes to
artificial intelligence.
877
00:33:35,247 --> 00:33:36,613
Pike was born with
spina bifida.
878
00:33:36,615 --> 00:33:39,149
Been confined to a wheelchair
his entire life.
879
00:33:39,151 --> 00:33:41,585
For obvious reasons, he could
not have executed the plan
880
00:33:41,587 --> 00:33:43,754
to pose as a maid,
but his student...
881
00:33:43,756 --> 00:33:46,056
Erin Rabin...
882
00:33:46,058 --> 00:33:48,158
She's a graduate student
in philosophy.
883
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,327
She took Pike's "Ethics of
Technology" course last semester
884
00:33:50,329 --> 00:33:51,795
and has been assisting
him with his research.
885
00:33:51,797 --> 00:33:53,630
She, no doubt, finds
his ideas compelling.
886
00:33:53,632 --> 00:33:55,665
Well, how do you know she was
doing it for him?
887
00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:56,800
She could've been
working on her own.
888
00:33:56,802 --> 00:33:58,268
She's a philosophy student.
889
00:33:58,270 --> 00:33:59,669
She has no programming
experience.
890
00:33:59,671 --> 00:34:01,405
The virus that
killed Borstein
891
00:34:01,407 --> 00:34:04,241
is a cutting-edge
piece of software.
892
00:34:04,243 --> 00:34:05,175
We can place her
in Webb's apartment
893
00:34:05,177 --> 00:34:06,710
under false pretenses.
894
00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:08,645
That, combined with the
proven existence of the virus,
895
00:34:08,647 --> 00:34:11,415
should be enough to
get a friendly judge
to give us a warrant.
896
00:34:11,417 --> 00:34:14,051
(bell tolling)
897
00:34:18,257 --> 00:34:20,757
Isaac Pike, Erin Rabin,
898
00:34:20,759 --> 00:34:22,192
glad I caught you together.
899
00:34:22,194 --> 00:34:23,460
Detective Marcus Bell, NYPD.
900
00:34:23,462 --> 00:34:25,762
I wonder if you'd
mind coming with me.
901
00:34:25,764 --> 00:34:27,431
I have some questions for you
902
00:34:27,433 --> 00:34:28,799
about the murder
of Edwin Borstein.
903
00:34:28,801 --> 00:34:30,600
Who's Edwin Borstein?
904
00:34:30,602 --> 00:34:32,636
The man you mailed
a computer virus
905
00:34:32,638 --> 00:34:34,304
written by Isaac Pike to.
906
00:34:34,306 --> 00:34:35,739
Sound familiar?
907
00:34:37,676 --> 00:34:40,677
Isaac didn't write the virus.
908
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:41,812
I did.
909
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:46,683
I did everything.
910
00:34:46,685 --> 00:34:48,285
It was all my idea.
911
00:34:53,859 --> 00:34:55,659
You have the right
to remain silent,
912
00:34:55,661 --> 00:34:57,127
and refuse to
answer questions...
913
00:34:57,129 --> 00:34:58,361
We knew she might crack
under questioning,
914
00:34:58,363 --> 00:34:59,830
but did you think
it'd be this easy?
915
00:34:59,832 --> 00:35:01,131
I don't think catching
both murderers
916
00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:02,666
is going to be
easy at all.
917
00:35:02,668 --> 00:35:04,734
She's lying to us.
918
00:35:04,736 --> 00:35:07,204
She intends to cover up
for her mentor.
919
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:15,245
I picked Edwin Borstein
as a target.
920
00:35:15,247 --> 00:35:18,548
I went to the same Web sites
he did,
921
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:21,518
figured out who
he was corresponding with,
922
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,787
and then I wrote the virus,
923
00:35:23,789 --> 00:35:27,390
posed as a maid,
and had it mailed to Borstein.
924
00:35:27,392 --> 00:35:29,459
BELL: You have zero
programming experience
925
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:31,495
whatsoever.
926
00:35:31,497 --> 00:35:34,498
You really asking me to believe
that you taught yourself
927
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:36,266
to write a computer virus
that eats itself?
928
00:35:36,268 --> 00:35:39,736
If I give you a piece
of paper right now...
929
00:35:40,572 --> 00:35:42,539
...could you write a little
program for us?
930
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:50,213
PIKE: Erin was
a conscientious student.
931
00:35:50,215 --> 00:35:52,549
I know she took my work
very seriously.
932
00:35:52,551 --> 00:35:56,186
But I would never
advocate harming somebody.
933
00:35:56,188 --> 00:35:58,889
We're executing a search warrant
on your computer, as we speak.
934
00:35:58,891 --> 00:36:02,192
If there's any trace
of that virus on there,
935
00:36:02,194 --> 00:36:03,560
we'll find it.
936
00:36:03,562 --> 00:36:05,629
BELL:
Why are you making this
937
00:36:05,631 --> 00:36:07,297
so easy for us?
938
00:36:07,299 --> 00:36:08,598
Because I don't want you
939
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,634
dragging Isaac's name
through the mud.
940
00:36:10,636 --> 00:36:12,502
His work is
too important.
941
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:16,206
None of us can afford
for it to be interrupted.
942
00:36:17,376 --> 00:36:19,543
So she's covering for him.
943
00:36:19,545 --> 00:36:21,678
GREGSON: There's not much
I can do-- she confessed.
944
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,447
There's nothing tying Pike
to the murder, other than you
945
00:36:24,449 --> 00:36:25,949
saying Erin Rabin couldn't
have written that virus.
946
00:36:25,951 --> 00:36:27,951
Could we hold him overnight?
947
00:36:27,953 --> 00:36:29,519
Maybe if we had
a little more time...
948
00:36:29,521 --> 00:36:31,588
GREGSON: The search warrant
turned up nothing.
949
00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:33,657
Erin confessed.
950
00:36:33,659 --> 00:36:35,625
Unless something changes,
the story she told us
951
00:36:35,627 --> 00:36:37,661
is gonna be
the official version
952
00:36:37,663 --> 00:36:39,729
of Edwin Borstein's murder.
953
00:36:46,672 --> 00:36:48,572
(violin music playing
over stereo)
954
00:36:48,574 --> 00:36:50,440
(cell phone ringing)
955
00:36:51,977 --> 00:36:53,610
(sighs)
956
00:36:56,615 --> 00:36:58,949
(home phone ringing)
957
00:37:06,592 --> 00:37:08,225
That was Joan.
958
00:37:08,227 --> 00:37:09,759
She knows you won't come
to the phone when you're...
959
00:37:09,761 --> 00:37:11,628
like this.
960
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:13,330
She wants to come round
and help.
961
00:37:13,332 --> 00:37:14,864
That won't be necessary.
962
00:37:14,866 --> 00:37:19,636
At times, Watson presents
certain... moral guidelines,
963
00:37:19,638 --> 00:37:21,771
and they can be
an impediment to progress.
964
00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:25,642
We're going to spend
the rest of the evening
965
00:37:25,644 --> 00:37:27,711
looking at the friends
and family of Isaac Pike.
966
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,447
Why?
967
00:37:30,449 --> 00:37:32,882
Erin Rabin is willing to spend
her life in prison
968
00:37:32,884 --> 00:37:35,352
if it means that Pike is free
to continue working.
969
00:37:35,354 --> 00:37:37,254
She's has made it all but
impossible for us
970
00:37:37,256 --> 00:37:39,522
to prove that
he is behind the killing.
971
00:37:39,524 --> 00:37:42,726
So we are going to have to
settle for the next best thing:
972
00:37:42,728 --> 00:37:46,763
getting him to admit
that he did it.
973
00:37:50,836 --> 00:37:52,369
Isaac Pike.
974
00:37:52,371 --> 00:37:53,703
Sherlock Holmes.
975
00:37:53,705 --> 00:37:55,338
We met briefly at the police
station last night.
976
00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:57,674
Mr. Holmes.
977
00:37:57,676 --> 00:37:59,843
Do I need a lawyer?
978
00:37:59,845 --> 00:38:01,711
No, you won't want her
here for this.
979
00:38:01,713 --> 00:38:03,947
You see, you and I both know
that you are the mind
980
00:38:03,949 --> 00:38:05,815
behind the murder
of Edwin Borstein,
981
00:38:05,817 --> 00:38:08,685
just as we both know that, as
long as your student holds fast
982
00:38:08,687 --> 00:38:11,721
to her story, I will never
be able to prove your guilt.
983
00:38:11,723 --> 00:38:12,922
That's a problem.
984
00:38:12,924 --> 00:38:14,991
But not an insurmountable one.
985
00:38:14,993 --> 00:38:17,294
You have
a younger brother-- Joshua.
986
00:38:17,296 --> 00:38:18,928
He hasn't quite reached
the heights that you have.
987
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:20,764
In fact, he's had some
struggles, hasn't he?
988
00:38:20,766 --> 00:38:21,998
Drugs, alcohol...
989
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,800
What's your point?
990
00:38:23,802 --> 00:38:26,002
He's been convicted of
two drug-related felonies.
991
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:28,605
And since he's made the mistake
of living in Jersey City,
992
00:38:28,607 --> 00:38:29,873
one more conviction makes him
993
00:38:29,875 --> 00:38:31,325
eligible for a sentence
of 25 years to life
994
00:38:31,326 --> 00:38:32,776
under the state's horrific
three strikes law.
995
00:38:32,778 --> 00:38:34,844
My associate took
some photographs of him
996
00:38:34,846 --> 00:38:37,981
buying a rather large
amount of heroin,
just this morning.
997
00:38:43,322 --> 00:38:44,954
(quietly):
Oh...
998
00:38:46,925 --> 00:38:48,625
(wry laugh)
999
00:38:48,627 --> 00:38:51,961
You want me to confess...
1000
00:38:51,963 --> 00:38:53,930
and, if I do,
you'll-you'll-you'll
1001
00:38:53,932 --> 00:38:57,067
get rid of this folder
full of blackmail.
1002
00:38:57,069 --> 00:38:59,102
I imagine you care quite deeply
about your brother,
1003
00:38:59,104 --> 00:39:00,970
or you wouldn't have paid
his way through rehab
1004
00:39:00,972 --> 00:39:02,672
half a dozen times already.
1005
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:04,341
Take two hours
to think it over,
1006
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:06,476
and if I haven't
heard from you...
1007
00:39:06,478 --> 00:39:09,646
I did a little research
of my own last night.
1008
00:39:09,648 --> 00:39:10,947
I was curious why
the NYPD
1009
00:39:10,949 --> 00:39:12,649
had a consultant.
1010
00:39:12,651 --> 00:39:14,584
You've got
a very impressive record--
1011
00:39:14,586 --> 00:39:16,986
prolific, too-- except for
a couple of years ago,
1012
00:39:16,988 --> 00:39:18,688
when you suddenly disappeared
for six months.
1013
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:20,890
Six months--
that's the length
1014
00:39:20,892 --> 00:39:24,961
of a very serious
in-patient rehab.
1015
00:39:24,963 --> 00:39:27,764
A man of your unique
sensitivities--
1016
00:39:27,766 --> 00:39:29,866
I'm sure it's tempting to dull
1017
00:39:29,868 --> 00:39:31,868
those senses.
1018
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:34,037
My history has little to do
with the matter at hand.
1019
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,005
I think it may.
1020
00:39:36,007 --> 00:39:39,008
I think it unlikely that
a recovering addict
1021
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:42,412
would send another troubled soul
to rot in prison,
1022
00:39:42,414 --> 00:39:45,715
just to have the satisfaction
of putting away his man.
1023
00:39:45,717 --> 00:39:49,386
That would require
ruthlessness,
1024
00:39:49,388 --> 00:39:52,055
a kind of... machine logic...
1025
00:39:52,057 --> 00:39:53,156
mm...
1026
00:39:53,158 --> 00:39:55,692
I'm not sure you have.
1027
00:39:55,694 --> 00:39:57,927
Not entirely, anyway.
1028
00:39:57,929 --> 00:39:59,896
Same kind of
machine logic you used
1029
00:39:59,898 --> 00:40:01,064
when you murdered
Edwin Borstein.
1030
00:40:01,066 --> 00:40:02,565
Some math equations
1031
00:40:02,567 --> 00:40:05,635
are more compelling than others.
1032
00:40:05,637 --> 00:40:08,938
Yours is a one-to-one exchange:
my brother for me.
1033
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:11,541
The equation you attribute to me
1034
00:40:11,543 --> 00:40:14,644
trades one man's life
1035
00:40:14,646 --> 00:40:17,547
for the chance to prevent
billions of deaths.
1036
00:40:17,549 --> 00:40:20,183
You're talking about
nothing less than
1037
00:40:20,185 --> 00:40:22,085
the survival of the species.
1038
00:40:22,087 --> 00:40:26,689
Surely that's worth compromising
one's values for?
1039
00:40:27,759 --> 00:40:29,092
In any case...
1040
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:32,729
I think you're bluffing.
1041
00:40:32,731 --> 00:40:34,097
You might want the world
to believe
1042
00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:36,433
that you're an automaton,
1043
00:40:36,435 --> 00:40:39,035
a calculating machine...
1044
00:40:39,037 --> 00:40:42,672
but you and I know better.
1045
00:40:42,674 --> 00:40:45,975
Or we will, anyway...
1046
00:40:45,977 --> 00:40:48,044
in a couple of hours.
1047
00:40:56,087 --> 00:40:58,955
(footsteps descending stairs)
1048
00:40:58,957 --> 00:41:01,624
KITTY:
Hey...
1049
00:41:01,626 --> 00:41:03,092
I didn't see anything
on the news
1050
00:41:03,094 --> 00:41:04,093
about Pike getting arrested.
1051
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:05,495
Nothing about his brother
1052
00:41:05,497 --> 00:41:06,930
on the police band, either.
1053
00:41:06,932 --> 00:41:09,232
What happened?
1054
00:41:10,235 --> 00:41:12,502
He wouldn't confess.
1055
00:41:12,504 --> 00:41:14,838
And you couldn't
turn in his brother.
1056
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,140
We can still
keep looking for a way
1057
00:41:17,142 --> 00:41:19,142
to prove that Pike did it.
1058
00:41:19,144 --> 00:41:21,010
The Property Clerk's
Office called.
1059
00:41:21,012 --> 00:41:23,546
They want to know when they can
come and pick up Bella.
1060
00:41:23,548 --> 00:41:26,149
I need a couple
more hours with her.
1061
00:41:26,151 --> 00:41:28,618
Thank you.
1062
00:41:35,093 --> 00:41:36,960
Hey.
Hey!
1063
00:41:36,962 --> 00:41:38,962
Wha...?
I called to say bye.
1064
00:41:38,964 --> 00:41:40,930
You weren't picking up.
1065
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:43,166
I wanted to surprise you.
1066
00:41:43,168 --> 00:41:44,167
You're great.
1067
00:41:44,169 --> 00:41:45,802
I mean, I knew you were great
1068
00:41:45,804 --> 00:41:47,537
but someone helped me
to see how great.
1069
00:41:47,539 --> 00:41:49,739
Thanks.
1070
00:41:49,741 --> 00:41:51,608
So I called the airline,
1071
00:41:51,610 --> 00:41:53,543
and there are some empty seats
on your flight to Copenhagen.
1072
00:41:53,545 --> 00:41:55,645
Listen-- I don't
want to horn in,
if you're too busy,
1073
00:41:55,647 --> 00:41:57,280
and I can't stay the
whole time but...
1074
00:41:57,282 --> 00:41:59,215
I've always wanted
to see Copenhagen.
1075
00:41:59,217 --> 00:42:01,918
(stammers, laughs)
1076
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,119
(Watson laughs)
1077
00:42:06,024 --> 00:42:07,190
HOLMES:
Bella...
1078
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:12,662
...one member of a murderous
conspiracy is in jail.
1079
00:42:12,664 --> 00:42:15,732
The second walks free.
1080
00:42:15,734 --> 00:42:18,635
The cost of catching him is
incarcerating his brother
1081
00:42:18,637 --> 00:42:20,703
for unrelated crimes...
1082
00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:25,141
...crimes for which I,
of all people...
1083
00:42:25,143 --> 00:42:27,210
should have some
understanding.
1084
00:42:31,216 --> 00:42:34,284
Is it right to let the
second murderer walk free?
1085
00:42:39,157 --> 00:42:40,757
I don't understand
the question.
1086
00:42:40,759 --> 00:42:42,825
Can I have
more information?
1087
00:42:47,165 --> 00:42:48,231
