1
00:00:01,844 --> 00:00:03,339
Previously on Elementary...
2
00:00:03,363 --> 00:00:05,543
I understand how
the cartel is running now.
3
00:00:05,543 --> 00:00:07,870
You forced all of your husband's
key lieutenants out
4
00:00:07,871 --> 00:00:09,371
and replaced them
with women.
5
00:00:09,373 --> 00:00:11,873
I know how crazy
this is making you.
6
00:00:11,875 --> 00:00:15,643
Trying to convince everyone
I'm some sort of mastermind?
7
00:00:15,645 --> 00:00:17,379
You're under arrest.
8
00:00:17,381 --> 00:00:19,247
BELL: You have the right
to remain silent
9
00:00:19,249 --> 00:00:20,682
and refuse to
answer questions.
10
00:00:20,684 --> 00:00:21,916
Hey, my dad called
this afternoon.
11
00:00:21,918 --> 00:00:24,519
He wants to take
us out to dinner.
12
00:00:24,521 --> 00:00:26,287
I'm sorry it's taken so long
for us to get together.
13
00:00:26,289 --> 00:00:27,489
You're remarkable.
14
00:00:28,625 --> 00:00:30,525
You know, you might have
to accept the fact
15
00:00:30,527 --> 00:00:32,227
that, whatever your relationship
with Andrew means,
16
00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:33,628
you just don't want it.
17
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:35,830
Then what do I want?
18
00:00:35,832 --> 00:00:37,198
MAN:
Skim-milk latte for Joan
19
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,833
and whole-milk
latte for Andrew.
20
00:00:38,835 --> 00:00:40,335
Thank you.
21
00:00:40,337 --> 00:00:42,604
Oh. Excuse me.
22
00:00:42,606 --> 00:00:44,672
(clears throat)
Skim milk.
23
00:00:44,674 --> 00:00:46,541
I think you gave me the wrong one.
Oh.
24
00:00:46,543 --> 00:00:48,843
Oh, my God.
What's wrong? (gagging)
25
00:00:50,847 --> 00:00:53,748
Oh, my God.
Somebody call an ambulance!
26
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:56,618
Andrew. Andrew.
(gagging, gasping)
27
00:01:01,925 --> 00:01:04,125
(door buzzes, opens)
28
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:08,730
(door closes)
29
00:01:20,243 --> 00:01:22,310
Six days ago,
30
00:01:22,312 --> 00:01:24,179
my boyfriend Andrew Mittal
drank coffee
31
00:01:24,181 --> 00:01:26,714
from a cup with my name on it.
32
00:01:26,716 --> 00:01:28,783
It was laced
with hemlock.
33
00:01:28,785 --> 00:01:32,387
He died before
the ambulance got there.
34
00:01:32,389 --> 00:01:34,556
There was a woman
in the coffee shop
35
00:01:34,558 --> 00:01:36,257
wearing a blue leather jacket.
36
00:01:36,259 --> 00:01:41,062
She bumped into me when I was
picking up our drinks.
37
00:01:41,064 --> 00:01:42,964
Her name is Marion Desjardins.
38
00:01:42,966 --> 00:01:45,433
She's a French immigrant
living in the United States
39
00:01:45,435 --> 00:01:47,569
with a visa
from your old company.
40
00:01:47,571 --> 00:01:51,239
We bring in lots of people
from overseas.
41
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:53,708
Consultants, mostly.
42
00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:56,377
Ms. Desjardins is an assassin.
43
00:01:56,379 --> 00:01:58,546
After we I.D.'d her,
we got a warrant
44
00:01:58,548 --> 00:02:01,516
to search her apartment
and found the hemlock plants.
45
00:02:01,518 --> 00:02:03,751
She confessed
to dosing my coffee,
46
00:02:03,753 --> 00:02:06,054
but claims it was
a random crime
47
00:02:06,056 --> 00:02:08,923
that had nothing
to do with you.
48
00:02:08,925 --> 00:02:11,192
So, how much are you
paying her for that?
49
00:02:11,194 --> 00:02:14,829
Even if you could get her
to admit that I paid her--
50
00:02:14,831 --> 00:02:18,199
which, by the way, I didn't--
51
00:02:18,201 --> 00:02:21,836
I'm already in this prison
until I die.
52
00:02:21,838 --> 00:02:23,938
Thanks to you.
53
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:25,440
So...
54
00:02:25,442 --> 00:02:28,209
what are you doing here, Joan?
55
00:02:28,211 --> 00:02:31,112
Andrew was brilliant and kind.
56
00:02:31,114 --> 00:02:34,282
This rivalry
is between you and me.
57
00:02:34,284 --> 00:02:36,851
How can you be so naive?
58
00:02:36,853 --> 00:02:39,454
If he was involved
with you,
59
00:02:39,456 --> 00:02:42,223
he was involved with me.
60
00:02:43,093 --> 00:02:45,560
Take her away.
61
00:02:45,562 --> 00:02:48,663
You say this guy Andrew
was your boyfriend?
62
00:02:48,665 --> 00:02:51,599
The way I heard it, you were
breaking up with him that day.
63
00:02:53,103 --> 00:02:54,702
That must feel terrible.
64
00:02:54,704 --> 00:02:56,905
(door buzzes)
65
00:03:01,211 --> 00:03:03,311
GREGSON: We can't really
do anything with the fact
66
00:03:03,313 --> 00:03:04,913
that Elana March
said she knows
67
00:03:04,915 --> 00:03:06,714
what you and Andrew
were talking about,
68
00:03:06,716 --> 00:03:09,150
because there was a lot
of people in that coffee shop,
69
00:03:09,152 --> 00:03:10,952
and she could have heard that
from anyone.
70
00:03:10,954 --> 00:03:15,056
Now, that being said,
I know the warden over there,
71
00:03:15,058 --> 00:03:18,126
and he did a spot check
on her cell tonight.
72
00:03:18,128 --> 00:03:20,295
He found enough
contraband in there
73
00:03:20,297 --> 00:03:22,931
to put her in isolation
for a week or two.
74
00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:24,599
So she's not
gonna be talking
75
00:03:24,601 --> 00:03:27,035
to any of her friends
for a while.
76
00:03:27,037 --> 00:03:29,504
She's not gonna come
after me again.
77
00:03:29,506 --> 00:03:31,239
Not right away.
78
00:03:31,241 --> 00:03:32,974
She'll wait
till things die down.
79
00:03:32,976 --> 00:03:34,943
But just to be safe,
80
00:03:34,945 --> 00:03:37,111
you should switch up
your travel patterns,
81
00:03:37,113 --> 00:03:39,514
and I'm gonna put a unit
outside of your building.
82
00:03:41,651 --> 00:03:44,052
We'll keep you safe.
83
00:03:45,088 --> 00:03:47,055
Thanks.
84
00:03:54,664 --> 00:03:55,964
Uh, Watson,
I'll continue
85
00:03:55,966 --> 00:03:57,432
to bring food over
to your apartment
86
00:03:57,434 --> 00:03:59,133
if it's not too much
of an imposition.
87
00:03:59,135 --> 00:04:01,636
You have a number of things
on your mind at the moment,
88
00:04:01,638 --> 00:04:03,938
and sustenance
needn't be one of them.
89
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:06,374
As for our collaboration,
you just let me know
90
00:04:06,376 --> 00:04:08,042
when you're ready
to resume casework,
91
00:04:08,044 --> 00:04:09,644
and I won't intrude
until then.
92
00:04:09,646 --> 00:04:11,879
Thanks. It'll just be
a couple more days.
93
00:04:11,881 --> 00:04:12,981
Mm-hmm.
94
00:04:12,983 --> 00:04:16,117
Um, do you have counsel?
95
00:04:16,119 --> 00:04:17,852
It's been almost a week
since Andrew died.
96
00:04:17,854 --> 00:04:19,487
You've said almost
nothing about it.
97
00:04:19,489 --> 00:04:20,855
Which is your prerogative,
of course.
98
00:04:20,857 --> 00:04:22,390
I just... I want
to be certain
99
00:04:22,392 --> 00:04:25,159
that you have someone to, uh,
discuss the matter with.
100
00:04:25,161 --> 00:04:28,496
I'd offer my services
if you don't.
101
00:04:28,498 --> 00:04:29,797
(elevator bell dings)
102
00:04:29,799 --> 00:04:31,499
Andrew died because
he knew me.
103
00:04:31,501 --> 00:04:34,535
I don't really know what
else there is to say.
104
00:04:38,308 --> 00:04:41,709
MAN: Mr. Holmes, thank you
for agreeing to see me.
105
00:04:41,711 --> 00:04:45,213
We've actually met
before-- sort of.
106
00:04:45,215 --> 00:04:48,950
I moderate the discussion boards
at BeeCircuit.com.
107
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,054
You're BeeBeeKing17.
108
00:04:53,056 --> 00:04:54,389
I am. (chuckles)
109
00:04:54,391 --> 00:04:55,690
You're a detective.
110
00:04:55,692 --> 00:04:56,924
I know from your posts.
111
00:04:56,926 --> 00:04:58,693
I have a bit
of a problem...
112
00:04:58,695 --> 00:05:00,561
I'm gonna stop you right there,
Mr. Joseph.
113
00:05:00,563 --> 00:05:01,796
I can't help you.
114
00:05:01,798 --> 00:05:03,598
You don't know what I'm asking.
115
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,166
I don't need to.
116
00:05:05,168 --> 00:05:07,669
In the four years
I've frequented your Web site,
117
00:05:07,671 --> 00:05:09,904
I've sent you no fewer
than 13 letters
118
00:05:09,906 --> 00:05:12,340
detailing my proposed solutions
to the phenomenon
119
00:05:12,342 --> 00:05:14,175
known as colony
collapse disorder.
120
00:05:14,177 --> 00:05:17,312
You have sent me
exactly zero replies.
121
00:05:17,314 --> 00:05:19,681
You know how much
correspondence I get?
122
00:05:19,683 --> 00:05:20,915
I've got no idea.
123
00:05:20,917 --> 00:05:22,317
I do know, however,
124
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:24,686
that mine is backed
by quality thinking.
125
00:05:24,688 --> 00:05:26,487
If you'd bothered
to find that out,
126
00:05:26,489 --> 00:05:28,222
you wouldn't find yourself
without a detective
127
00:05:28,224 --> 00:05:30,158
in your hour of need.
128
00:05:32,729 --> 00:05:35,563
Is there some way that I can
make this up to you?
129
00:05:35,565 --> 00:05:37,765
I suppose, if you were
to publish my theories
130
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:40,435
on gamma rays
as a potential solution to CCD,
131
00:05:40,437 --> 00:05:42,403
then I might be able
to hear you out.
132
00:05:42,405 --> 00:05:46,140
Gamma rays?
133
00:05:46,142 --> 00:05:51,250
but they... they don't
scale as an answer.
134
00:05:51,252 --> 00:05:54,020
A fact I addressed in
my most recent letter.
135
00:05:54,022 --> 00:05:55,254
Fine.
136
00:05:55,256 --> 00:05:57,757
Yeah, I'll put it
on the site.
137
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:01,527
I also require that you change
your online user name.
138
00:06:01,529 --> 00:06:03,830
The cheap punnery
of “BeeBeeKing17”
139
00:06:03,832 --> 00:06:07,300
is offensive to musicians
and apiarists alike.
140
00:06:10,939 --> 00:06:13,840
You'll make the change?
141
00:06:14,709 --> 00:06:16,642
I guess.
142
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:18,311
Good.
143
00:06:18,313 --> 00:06:20,813
So what seems to be the problem?
144
00:06:20,815 --> 00:06:24,517
How do you feel
about a field trip?
145
00:06:26,554 --> 00:06:29,155
MAN: I'm the assistant curator
of mammals here.
146
00:06:29,157 --> 00:06:31,290
HOLMES:
Your problem concerns zebras.
147
00:06:31,292 --> 00:06:35,161
More specifically,
the complete lack thereof.
148
00:06:35,163 --> 00:06:37,530
You've managed to lose track
of your zebras?
149
00:06:37,532 --> 00:06:40,233
Someone broke in here
and took them last night.
150
00:06:40,235 --> 00:06:42,468
Two females.
They're on loan to us
151
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:44,804
because we're experts
in equine breeding.
152
00:06:44,806 --> 00:06:46,706
Breeding?
153
00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:50,109
Both the stolen animals
are pregnant.
154
00:06:50,111 --> 00:06:52,912
And they're due
in less than a week.
155
00:06:55,583 --> 00:06:59,583
? Elementary 3x14 ?

157
00:07:06,131 --> 00:07:24,483
? ?
158
00:07:34,774 --> 00:07:36,741
Detective Bell, you're here.
Excellent.
159
00:07:37,359 --> 00:07:39,392
No, it's not
Detective Bell today.
160
00:07:39,394 --> 00:07:42,395
The department told me I had
too many vacation days built up,
161
00:07:42,397 --> 00:07:44,597
so I had to use them
or lose them.
162
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:46,065
I'm aware
you're off duty.
163
00:07:46,067 --> 00:07:48,268
In fact, that's exactly
why I asked you here.
164
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:49,936
I've picked up some
potentially interesting work
165
00:07:49,938 --> 00:07:51,104
involving stolen zebras.
166
00:07:51,106 --> 00:07:53,106
I thought it might be
an opportunity
167
00:07:53,108 --> 00:07:55,308
for you to gain
more exposure to my methods.
168
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,178
You want me to work
a case with you?
169
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:00,280
An informal setting is a more
fertile learning environment,
170
00:08:00,282 --> 00:08:01,414
don't you think?
171
00:08:01,416 --> 00:08:03,283
Think of it is a favor.
172
00:08:03,285 --> 00:08:05,618
So I'll work for you, and
somehow you're doing me a favor?
173
00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:07,387
Well, I do owe you a debt.
You'll recall
174
00:08:07,389 --> 00:08:08,988
the unfortunate business
with you and the bullet.
175
00:08:08,990 --> 00:08:10,857
I remember when
you got me shot.
176
00:08:10,859 --> 00:08:13,293
Look, I get it-- you want
somebody to talk at,
177
00:08:13,295 --> 00:08:15,728
but you don't want to
bother Joan right now?
178
00:08:15,730 --> 00:08:17,030
I will pay you.
179
00:08:17,032 --> 00:08:18,531
I'm already
getting paid today.
180
00:08:18,533 --> 00:08:20,333
A donation to the charity
of your choice, then.
181
00:08:20,335 --> 00:08:22,435
How'd you know I didn't
have plans for the day?
182
00:08:22,437 --> 00:08:24,737
People who are forced by
their employers to take time off
183
00:08:24,739 --> 00:08:27,473
don't generally have
thriving social lives.
184
00:08:27,475 --> 00:08:29,542
My rate to the
Harlem Youth Club.
185
00:08:29,544 --> 00:08:31,845
You keep track
of the hours.
186
00:08:32,614 --> 00:08:34,547
BELL:
So you think
187
00:08:34,549 --> 00:08:36,216
someone just led
a couple zebras
188
00:08:36,218 --> 00:08:37,717
out the back door
and drove away?
189
00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:39,919
They had to get the animals
out of here somehow.
190
00:08:39,921 --> 00:08:41,554
This loading dock
is the only
191
00:08:41,556 --> 00:08:43,022
relatively private
means of egress.
192
00:08:43,024 --> 00:08:45,225
I examined the scene
before you arrived,
193
00:08:45,227 --> 00:08:47,460
and there were several fresh
hoofprints in the soil
194
00:08:47,462 --> 00:08:49,062
near one of the doors.
195
00:08:49,064 --> 00:08:51,231
Saw a few security cameras
in the zoo.
196
00:08:51,233 --> 00:08:53,233
Have you seen the footage?
There isn't any.
197
00:08:53,235 --> 00:08:54,934
Not coincidentally, the
power to the cameras
198
00:08:54,936 --> 00:08:57,170
was knocked out shortly
before the robbery.
199
00:08:57,172 --> 00:08:58,838
And that didn't trip
an alarm?
200
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,207
This is a zoo--
I don't think burglary
201
00:09:01,209 --> 00:09:03,409
is generally of
paramount concern.
202
00:09:03,411 --> 00:09:06,112
Now, there are two
sets of tire tracks
203
00:09:06,114 --> 00:09:07,513
within the loading dock.
204
00:09:07,515 --> 00:09:10,049
Tread is identical,
but one set of tracks
205
00:09:10,051 --> 00:09:12,619
is approximately one centimeter
deeper than the other.
206
00:09:12,621 --> 00:09:14,454
If you need me
to translate that
207
00:09:14,456 --> 00:09:15,889
into the idiom of
American exceptionalism,
208
00:09:15,891 --> 00:09:17,957
a centimeter is about
a third of an inch.
209
00:09:17,959 --> 00:09:19,325
I got it, thanks.
210
00:09:19,327 --> 00:09:21,594
So the first set of tracks
is when they drove up;
211
00:09:21,596 --> 00:09:23,529
the second one's deeper
because they had zebras
212
00:09:23,531 --> 00:09:25,598
in the back
when they drove away.
213
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,334
Well deduced, Detective Bell.
I knew you'd make good company.
214
00:09:28,336 --> 00:09:30,937
Let me ask you something--
what do you think would happen
215
00:09:30,939 --> 00:09:33,539
if you call me by my first name?
You worried I'll take away
216
00:09:33,541 --> 00:09:34,574
your blood pudding or something?
217
00:09:34,576 --> 00:09:36,809
What? No.
218
00:09:36,811 --> 00:09:39,145
Good. 'Cause I don't even know
what blood pudding is.
219
00:09:39,147 --> 00:09:41,981
“Marcus” works just fine.
220
00:09:41,983 --> 00:09:43,716
Huh.
221
00:09:43,718 --> 00:09:46,386
Looks like they scraped
against the gate on the way out.
222
00:09:46,388 --> 00:09:49,589
So we're looking for a purple
truck with two pregnant zebras
223
00:09:49,591 --> 00:09:51,391
in the back.
These guys really know
224
00:09:51,393 --> 00:09:52,959
how to keep
a low profile.
225
00:09:52,961 --> 00:09:56,496
That might be better
camouflage than it seems.
226
00:09:56,498 --> 00:09:59,065
That shade of purple
is a proprietary color
227
00:09:59,067 --> 00:10:02,435
owned by Axiom Parcel
Delivery, or APD.
228
00:10:02,437 --> 00:10:04,270
It's almost impossible
to reproduce
229
00:10:04,272 --> 00:10:05,805
without the
company's consent.
230
00:10:05,807 --> 00:10:07,774
So, if you can't reproduce
the color,
231
00:10:07,776 --> 00:10:10,143
that means the thieves
stole an APD truck.
232
00:10:10,145 --> 00:10:11,778
Or they drive one.
Anyway, we should
233
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:13,646
find out if
a truck's been stolen.
234
00:10:13,648 --> 00:10:15,815
Then what? I mean, these guys
aren't gonna be dumb enough
235
00:10:15,817 --> 00:10:17,850
to drive around with plates
that have been reported stolen.
236
00:10:17,852 --> 00:10:19,485
License plates
aren't the only way
237
00:10:19,487 --> 00:10:21,020
to find that truck,
Detective Bell.
238
00:10:21,022 --> 00:10:22,855
It's “Marcus.”
239
00:10:26,394 --> 00:10:27,860
(door opens)
240
00:10:27,862 --> 00:10:30,196
BELL (calls): Hello?
In here.
241
00:10:30,198 --> 00:10:31,731
(door closes)
242
00:10:33,134 --> 00:10:37,070
Why is your picture on the
wall at the Indian place?
243
00:10:37,072 --> 00:10:40,940
Oh. I helped the owner's family
resolve a misunderstanding
244
00:10:40,942 --> 00:10:43,643
having to do with caste system,
and they were very grateful.
245
00:10:43,645 --> 00:10:45,078
And now you're weighing
a toaster?
246
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,646
Finally got through
247
00:10:46,648 --> 00:10:48,181
to Axiom Parcel Delivery's
corporate office.
248
00:10:48,183 --> 00:10:50,116
It seems
one of their trucks was stolen
249
00:10:50,118 --> 00:10:51,718
eight days ago in Queens.
250
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,686
Apparently, the driver left
one of the vehicles running
251
00:10:53,688 --> 00:10:55,388
when he went inside
on a home delivery,
252
00:10:55,390 --> 00:10:58,691
and when he emerged, the truck
and its cargo were gone.
253
00:10:58,693 --> 00:11:02,128
Very likely, that's the truck
used in the zoo robbery.
254
00:11:02,130 --> 00:11:06,065
You say that like it explains
why you're weighing a toaster.
255
00:11:06,067 --> 00:11:07,600
APD were kind enough
256
00:11:07,602 --> 00:11:09,936
to send over the truck's
manifest for that day.
257
00:11:09,938 --> 00:11:11,771
I have listed it here.
258
00:11:11,773 --> 00:11:14,474
For each package,
we know the sender's address,
259
00:11:14,476 --> 00:11:17,310
the recipient's address
and the weight of each parcel.
260
00:11:17,312 --> 00:11:19,846
Using that information,
I'm attempting to identify
261
00:11:19,848 --> 00:11:22,582
the contents of each box.
262
00:11:22,584 --> 00:11:24,884
I'm weighing the probable
objects that I have handy,
263
00:11:24,886 --> 00:11:27,587
and relying on weights listed
online for ones that I do not.
264
00:11:27,589 --> 00:11:29,322
How is this supposed
to help us?
265
00:11:30,358 --> 00:11:32,525
It already has.
Package number 27.
266
00:11:32,527 --> 00:11:37,663
From Pet Junction in Chicago
to Seth Buxton, Bayside--
267
00:11:37,665 --> 00:11:39,599
12 pounds, nine ounces.
268
00:11:39,601 --> 00:11:41,601
The weight of the package
is the sum of the weights
269
00:11:41,603 --> 00:11:44,170
of a water bowl, a package of
canine treats and a tail trail.
270
00:11:44,172 --> 00:11:45,738
What's a tail trail?
271
00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:47,073
It's a pet collar
272
00:11:47,075 --> 00:11:48,741
which features
a GPS tracking chip.
273
00:11:48,743 --> 00:11:50,443
The collar
comes precharged,
274
00:11:50,445 --> 00:11:52,412
which means the tracking chip
is already active,
275
00:11:52,414 --> 00:11:54,881
even before it's opened, so if
we can find the tracking chip,
276
00:11:54,883 --> 00:11:56,716
we might be able
to find the stolen truck.
277
00:11:56,718 --> 00:12:00,620
Or it'll take us to some guy
who bought stolen pet supplies.
278
00:12:00,622 --> 00:12:04,824
Either way, it's a leap
we did not have one hour ago.
279
00:12:04,826 --> 00:12:06,659
How much chili powder's in here?
280
00:12:06,661 --> 00:12:07,994
The restaurant has instructions
281
00:12:07,996 --> 00:12:10,096
to make my orders
as picante as they can.
282
00:12:10,098 --> 00:12:11,831
Did you tell them
you were ordering for two?
283
00:12:11,833 --> 00:12:13,666
No.
284
00:12:13,668 --> 00:12:15,034
I'll go tech assist.
285
00:12:15,036 --> 00:12:17,437
They should have GPS
on the collar soon.
286
00:12:17,439 --> 00:12:20,673
Then I guess
I'll order another lunch.
287
00:12:20,675 --> 00:12:23,109
BELL:
Looks like the guy who stole
288
00:12:23,111 --> 00:12:25,711
the truck just
dumped the boxes here.
289
00:12:29,451 --> 00:12:31,851
So, uh...
290
00:12:31,853 --> 00:12:34,087
how's Joan doing anyway?
291
00:12:34,089 --> 00:12:36,022
I haven't seen her
since the funeral.
292
00:12:36,024 --> 00:12:37,390
I don't know.
293
00:12:37,392 --> 00:12:39,192
All I know is,
she's not doing well,
294
00:12:39,194 --> 00:12:41,227
but other than that,
she's not confided in me.
295
00:12:41,229 --> 00:12:42,628
So when you two aren't
296
00:12:42,630 --> 00:12:44,664
working a case, what happens?
297
00:12:44,666 --> 00:12:46,999
You just sit around
in contemplative silence?
298
00:12:47,001 --> 00:12:48,835
I'm not opposed
to a productive silence,
299
00:12:48,837 --> 00:12:51,104
but in this case,
I have offered to listen.
300
00:12:51,106 --> 00:12:54,574
My first partner was involved
in a shooting
301
00:12:54,576 --> 00:12:57,009
eight weeks into the job.
302
00:12:57,011 --> 00:13:00,413
I let him walk around with PTSD
for the next six months.
303
00:13:00,415 --> 00:13:02,315
I offered to help, too,
304
00:13:02,317 --> 00:13:05,351
but we didn't get anywhere
until I insisted.
305
00:13:08,022 --> 00:13:09,422
You find something?
306
00:13:09,424 --> 00:13:10,823
I don't know.
307
00:13:10,825 --> 00:13:12,425
It's a receipt.
308
00:13:12,427 --> 00:13:14,160
Or at least, it was.
309
00:13:14,162 --> 00:13:15,828
(sniffles)
310
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:17,663
(panting)
311
00:13:17,665 --> 00:13:21,467
Modern receipts are printed
often with thermal ink.
312
00:13:21,469 --> 00:13:23,870
It helps the text
appear sharp and clean.
313
00:13:23,872 --> 00:13:25,605
Trouble is, it fades
314
00:13:25,607 --> 00:13:26,973
rather quickly.
315
00:13:26,975 --> 00:13:28,374
Unless you heat it.
316
00:13:28,376 --> 00:13:30,243
Precisely.
317
00:13:32,914 --> 00:13:35,781
“855 North Sullivan
Street, Brooklyn”"
318
00:13:35,783 --> 00:13:38,184
It is, apparently, the
address of “Criterion
319
00:13:38,186 --> 00:13:40,486
Equine Veterinary Services”"
320
00:13:40,488 --> 00:13:41,754
A horse hospital.
321
00:13:41,756 --> 00:13:44,290
This may not be here
by coincidence.
322
00:13:44,292 --> 00:13:45,691
Someone here might
have something
323
00:13:45,693 --> 00:13:48,928
to do with our
stolen zebras.
324
00:13:51,566 --> 00:13:54,200
I'm sorry I should come over
without announcing myself.
325
00:13:54,202 --> 00:13:56,135
I was cleaning out
Andrew's apartment.
326
00:13:56,137 --> 00:13:57,770
Those items
327
00:13:57,772 --> 00:13:59,405
belong to you, I assume?
328
00:13:59,407 --> 00:14:01,741
Thank you.
329
00:14:01,743 --> 00:14:03,743
Um, would you like to, uh...
330
00:14:03,745 --> 00:14:05,278
I really need to be going.
331
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,546
Uh, Mr. Mittal,
332
00:14:06,548 --> 00:14:09,682
I am so sorry.
333
00:14:09,684 --> 00:14:12,952
I know that I said that
to you at the service already,
334
00:14:12,954 --> 00:14:14,687
but I wanted to say it again.
335
00:14:14,689 --> 00:14:18,124
I... I can't help but feel
responsible
336
00:14:18,126 --> 00:14:20,760
for what happened to Andrew.
337
00:14:22,197 --> 00:14:23,896
My wife says you believe
338
00:14:23,898 --> 00:14:27,300
a woman named Elana March
killed my son?
339
00:14:29,470 --> 00:14:33,072
Did Andrew know
you put her in jail?
340
00:14:33,074 --> 00:14:35,308
We talked about it.
341
00:14:36,611 --> 00:14:39,178
Do you think he realized
you might become a target?
342
00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:41,747
Um...
343
00:14:41,749 --> 00:14:43,950
to be honest,
we hadn't really talked
344
00:14:43,952 --> 00:14:46,852
about Elana March in a while.
345
00:14:46,854 --> 00:14:49,989
I don't hold you responsible
for Andrew's death.
346
00:14:49,991 --> 00:14:52,458
You didn't poison him.
347
00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:55,094
But given everything
I've learned about this woman,
348
00:14:55,096 --> 00:14:58,965
it's not unreasonable to think
she'd take measures against you.
349
00:14:58,967 --> 00:15:00,967
You have guards.
350
00:15:00,969 --> 00:15:04,537
You've taken
every precaution now.
351
00:15:05,974 --> 00:15:08,574
I wish you'd done more before.
352
00:15:10,545 --> 00:15:13,946
(door opens, closes)
353
00:15:13,948 --> 00:15:17,016
BELL: So we made it
to Criterion Equine.
354
00:15:17,018 --> 00:15:19,619
What do we do,
go in there
355
00:15:19,621 --> 00:15:21,287
and listen for hoofbeats?
356
00:15:21,289 --> 00:15:23,289
I'm confident something
will present itself
357
00:15:23,291 --> 00:15:24,991
once we're inside.
358
00:15:27,195 --> 00:15:30,096
Something like the purple truck
we've been looking for?
359
00:15:33,768 --> 00:15:36,035
? ?
360
00:16:05,433 --> 00:16:07,633
(quiet hoofbeats)
361
00:16:21,249 --> 00:16:24,050
BELL:
Huh.
362
00:16:27,388 --> 00:16:29,722
Why go through the trouble
363
00:16:29,724 --> 00:16:32,058
of stealing two zebras if
you're just gonna dump them
364
00:16:32,060 --> 00:16:34,760
in a warehouse
12 hours later?
365
00:16:38,232 --> 00:16:40,599
Technically...
366
00:16:40,601 --> 00:16:43,069
there should be
four zebras here.
367
00:16:43,071 --> 00:16:46,272
Both of these mares
are pregnant, remember?
368
00:16:51,145 --> 00:16:53,279
(sighs)
369
00:16:53,281 --> 00:16:55,281
(panting)
370
00:16:55,283 --> 00:16:57,750
Although,
this is Oxytocin.
371
00:16:57,752 --> 00:17:00,886
It's mammalian
neurohypophysial hormone,
372
00:17:00,888 --> 00:17:03,122
which is used
to induce labor
373
00:17:03,124 --> 00:17:06,659
in equine species.
374
00:17:09,597 --> 00:17:13,699
Both of these animals have given
birth since their kidnapping.
375
00:17:13,701 --> 00:17:16,602
So the thief wanted the babies,
but not the mothers?
376
00:17:16,604 --> 00:17:18,637
Why?
377
00:17:27,849 --> 00:17:29,682
Well...
378
00:17:49,303 --> 00:17:51,737
Well, we were right
about one thing.
379
00:17:51,739 --> 00:17:54,273
Someone from
Criterion Equine Services
380
00:17:54,275 --> 00:17:56,242
is involved in this crime.
381
00:18:09,874 --> 00:18:12,542
David Chang was a vet
at Criterion Equine.
382
00:18:12,629 --> 00:18:15,062
Looks like he didn't die
from the first bullet.
383
00:18:15,064 --> 00:18:17,031
We found some DNA
under his fingernails
384
00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:18,766
that must have come
from the killer.
385
00:18:18,768 --> 00:18:20,701
Chang tried to fight
after he got shot.
386
00:18:20,703 --> 00:18:22,470
HOLMES: What about
our stripey friends?
387
00:18:22,472 --> 00:18:25,172
Well, both zebras are
on their way back to the zoo.
388
00:18:25,174 --> 00:18:27,041
They should arrive
within the hour.
389
00:18:27,043 --> 00:18:29,143
CSU's still got
some things to finish up,
390
00:18:29,145 --> 00:18:31,212
but here's what
I got so far.
391
00:18:31,214 --> 00:18:33,581
David Chang and a partner
steal an APD truck
392
00:18:33,583 --> 00:18:35,383
in Queens last week,
which they use
393
00:18:35,385 --> 00:18:37,718
to transport
two stolen zebras last night.
394
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,254
Dr. Chang oversees the birth
of the zebra foals
395
00:18:40,256 --> 00:18:42,323
in this warehouse
early this morning,
396
00:18:42,325 --> 00:18:44,158
after which
his partner shoots him
397
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,594
and flees the scene
with both newborns.
398
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:49,030
Wrong.
399
00:18:49,032 --> 00:18:50,998
All right, what am I missing?
400
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,701
All the parts
that matter.
401
00:18:53,703 --> 00:18:56,671
A man who is not David Chang
steals an APD truck.
402
00:18:56,673 --> 00:18:59,173
Said truck is then used
to abduct two zebras.
403
00:18:59,175 --> 00:19:02,376
Knowing that induced equine
births can be quite troublesome,
404
00:19:02,378 --> 00:19:04,645
the zebra thief drives his truck
to this warehouse,
405
00:19:04,647 --> 00:19:07,214
a mere 100 meters from
a renowned horse infirmary
406
00:19:07,216 --> 00:19:09,116
with a renowned
horse infirmarist.
407
00:19:09,118 --> 00:19:11,385
The delivery of the foals does
indeed become troublesome.
408
00:19:11,387 --> 00:19:14,221
At which point, the zebra thief
forcibly enlists the help
409
00:19:14,223 --> 00:19:16,023
of Dr. David Chang.
410
00:19:16,025 --> 00:19:17,558
The good doctor
delivers the foals,
411
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,393
and is then shot
to keep him quiet.
412
00:19:19,395 --> 00:19:22,229
I assume you got some evidence
that supports that theory?
413
00:19:22,231 --> 00:19:24,365
I had a look
through David Chang's phone
414
00:19:24,367 --> 00:19:25,733
before it was carted off.
415
00:19:25,735 --> 00:19:27,668
There are a myriad of texts
from his wife
416
00:19:27,670 --> 00:19:29,103
wondering why he is late
417
00:19:29,105 --> 00:19:31,238
for a flight to Chicago
an hour ago. David Chang
418
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,874
is an innocent victim,
not a willing confederate.
419
00:19:33,876 --> 00:19:36,110
I still don't understand
why the shooter would just
420
00:19:36,112 --> 00:19:37,945
leave the truck here
for us to find.
421
00:19:37,947 --> 00:19:40,448
Well, you can't drive a truck
with a broken rear axle.
422
00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:42,416
Come again?
The rear axle of this truck is fractured.
423
00:19:42,418 --> 00:19:44,985
Probably occurred when
the zebra thief tried
424
00:19:44,987 --> 00:19:47,421
to unload 1,500 pounds
worth of zebra
425
00:19:47,423 --> 00:19:48,923
without any kind of ramp.
426
00:19:48,925 --> 00:19:50,691
This is an
unfamiliar space.
427
00:19:50,693 --> 00:19:54,261
The animals would have
been quite panicked.
428
00:19:54,263 --> 00:19:56,097
So, after the births
in the warehouse,
429
00:19:56,099 --> 00:19:58,766
the perp tries to drive away,
but the truck won't move,
430
00:19:58,768 --> 00:20:00,267
so he takes the zebra foals
431
00:20:00,269 --> 00:20:02,369
and flees the scene
in a different vehicle?
432
00:20:02,371 --> 00:20:04,405
Probably an SUV,
judging by the amount
433
00:20:04,407 --> 00:20:07,108
of broken glass on
the street behind you.
434
00:20:09,212 --> 00:20:11,078
I'll put out
a “find this” message
435
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,913
for an SUV
with a broken window.
436
00:20:12,915 --> 00:20:16,183
You and I, meanwhile, will make
some calls to upstate New York.
437
00:20:16,185 --> 00:20:18,853
“Federals Feeds,
Thiells, New York.”
438
00:20:18,855 --> 00:20:20,621
Yeah. I think it's
the feed dispensary
439
00:20:20,623 --> 00:20:22,723
where our thief
purchased all his hay.
440
00:20:22,725 --> 00:20:24,592
Well, where'd you find this?
441
00:20:24,594 --> 00:20:27,261
'Cause CSU was already in there,
and they didn't find anything.
442
00:20:27,263 --> 00:20:29,830
Well, they failed to examine
the zebra droppings.
443
00:20:32,268 --> 00:20:35,369
Lasagna is best eaten after
a short cooling off period.
444
00:20:35,371 --> 00:20:37,471
This should be
at optimal temperature shortly.
445
00:20:37,473 --> 00:20:38,939
(sighs)
446
00:20:38,941 --> 00:20:43,177
This is completely
unnecessary, but... thanks.
447
00:20:54,624 --> 00:20:56,490
If you're gonna
stay, you can work.
448
00:20:56,492 --> 00:20:58,425
I know you want to.
Mm.
449
00:21:07,003 --> 00:21:09,570
You know, I-I pulled away
from you last year
450
00:21:09,572 --> 00:21:11,539
because, um,
451
00:21:11,541 --> 00:21:16,076
I felt myself getting sucked
into this world that you built.
452
00:21:20,683 --> 00:21:23,450
I wanted something normal.
453
00:21:23,452 --> 00:21:25,452
Something that was mine.
454
00:21:25,454 --> 00:21:28,222
Well, there's nothing
wrong with that.
455
00:21:28,224 --> 00:21:30,491
You have a right
to your own space.
456
00:21:30,493 --> 00:21:32,893
Both physically and mentally.
457
00:21:34,797 --> 00:21:37,665
I'm not sure that I do.
458
00:21:37,667 --> 00:21:40,367
I don't think I can
keep our work
459
00:21:40,369 --> 00:21:43,404
and my private life separate.
460
00:21:43,406 --> 00:21:46,207
Just doesn't seem possible.
461
00:21:46,209 --> 00:21:48,042
Well, you already know that.
462
00:21:48,044 --> 00:21:50,644
I mean, it's part of the reason
you live the way that you do.
463
00:21:50,646 --> 00:21:54,515
Yes, but my choices do not
have to be your choices, Watson.
464
00:21:54,517 --> 00:21:58,085
I might be better off
if they were.
465
00:22:01,657 --> 00:22:05,392
Andrew would have been
better off.
466
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,234
Wow, I really enjoyed that.
467
00:22:13,236 --> 00:22:15,870
I'm so sorry. I didn't intend
to spend the night here.
468
00:22:15,872 --> 00:22:17,304
I got caught up in my work.
469
00:22:17,306 --> 00:22:19,673
So what's up with the maps?
470
00:22:19,675 --> 00:22:20,941
Detective Bell and I
are in pursuit
471
00:22:20,943 --> 00:22:22,409
of a pair of
infant zebras.
472
00:22:22,411 --> 00:22:23,777
The man who stole them
473
00:22:23,779 --> 00:22:25,713
is also very
likely a murderer.
474
00:22:25,715 --> 00:22:28,182
And last night, we determined
that he bought zebra food
475
00:22:28,184 --> 00:22:30,885
and other supplies from a store
called Federal Feeds.
476
00:22:30,887 --> 00:22:33,387
We spoke to the store
manager, and he confirmed
477
00:22:33,389 --> 00:22:34,855
that he sold
supplies to a man
478
00:22:34,857 --> 00:22:37,558
driving an APD delivery
truck last Thursday.
479
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,126
Great, so you have
a description.
480
00:22:39,128 --> 00:22:40,294
Yes and no.
481
00:22:40,296 --> 00:22:41,829
The only details
to emerge was that
482
00:22:41,831 --> 00:22:43,764
he was six foot tall
and Caucasian.
483
00:22:43,766 --> 00:22:45,432
The manager did recall
that the man had been
484
00:22:45,434 --> 00:22:47,534
complaining about a hailstorm
the night before.
485
00:22:47,536 --> 00:22:49,036
And you're looking at
486
00:22:49,038 --> 00:22:50,704
Rockland County
weather maps from--
487
00:22:50,706 --> 00:22:52,640
when did you say the guy
bought supplies? Thursday?
488
00:22:52,642 --> 00:22:55,042
Okay, so these maps
are from Wednesday night.
489
00:22:55,044 --> 00:22:57,144
Figure out where it hailed
in Rockland County,
490
00:22:57,146 --> 00:22:59,213
and then see
if you can find a place
491
00:22:59,215 --> 00:23:01,282
where you could keep
a couple of baby zebras.
492
00:23:01,284 --> 00:23:03,217
That was my approach.
We've already had the police
493
00:23:03,219 --> 00:23:05,452
in Rockland County search
every stable, barn and farmhouse
494
00:23:05,454 --> 00:23:07,554
within the areas
of falling hail.
495
00:23:09,091 --> 00:23:10,958
Huh.
What?
496
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,460
I read about a psychiatric
hospital in Rockland County
497
00:23:13,462 --> 00:23:14,662
named Letchworth Village.
498
00:23:14,664 --> 00:23:16,230
It's been closed
for a while now,
499
00:23:16,232 --> 00:23:18,232
but it was well-known
because the inmates kept up
500
00:23:18,234 --> 00:23:19,633
a working farm.
501
00:23:19,635 --> 00:23:21,268
They grew crops,
they raised chickens and cows.
502
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:22,937
I'm sure it must have
had stables.
503
00:23:22,939 --> 00:23:24,271
They haven't torn it down?
504
00:23:24,273 --> 00:23:27,207
No.
505
00:23:27,209 --> 00:23:29,343
It's right there.
506
00:23:31,213 --> 00:23:34,515
It's quiet, lots of space,
far away from people.
507
00:23:34,517 --> 00:23:37,151
It's not a bad place
to raise stolen zebra foals,
508
00:23:37,153 --> 00:23:40,087
even if it is
straight out of a scary movie.
509
00:23:40,089 --> 00:23:42,423
No doubt this facility's seen
its fair share of horrors.
510
00:23:42,425 --> 00:23:44,558
There was also some
good work done here.
511
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,627
Did you know Letchworth
Village was where doctors
512
00:23:46,629 --> 00:23:48,462
administered the very
first polio vaccin...
513
00:23:48,464 --> 00:23:51,565
Polio vaccination?
Yeah, I knew that.
514
00:23:51,567 --> 00:23:55,269
Look, I Googled the name on
the way over here, same as you.
515
00:23:55,271 --> 00:23:57,972
OFFICER: We found something.
North end of building three.
516
00:23:57,974 --> 00:23:59,573
We're on our way.
517
00:24:01,577 --> 00:24:03,777
It's right over here.
518
00:24:06,849 --> 00:24:08,916
BELL:
We're looking for two.
519
00:24:08,918 --> 00:24:10,784
Any sign of the other one?
520
00:24:10,786 --> 00:24:12,987
Nothing yet.
521
00:24:12,989 --> 00:24:16,857
Well, I guess one baby zebra's
better than none.
522
00:24:16,859 --> 00:24:19,026
You're not wrong...
523
00:24:21,130 --> 00:24:24,164
...but unless I'm mistaken,
that's not a zebra.
524
00:24:24,166 --> 00:24:25,933
What?
525
00:24:40,950 --> 00:24:42,950
This animal's not a zebra.
526
00:24:42,952 --> 00:24:44,618
It's a quagga.
527
00:24:44,620 --> 00:24:47,688
It's an equine species
native to South Africa.
528
00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:49,356
Never heard of them.
529
00:24:49,358 --> 00:24:51,091
Well, that's hardly
surprising.
530
00:24:51,093 --> 00:24:55,229
Been well over 100 years
since anyone's seen a quagga.
531
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:02,469
Species has been extinct
since 1883.
532
00:25:14,325 --> 00:25:16,264
JOSEPH: Zebras gave birth
to extinct animals?
533
00:25:16,718 --> 00:25:18,685
Looks like the guy
was out on an errand
534
00:25:18,687 --> 00:25:21,054
with the second foal
when we searched the place.
535
00:25:21,056 --> 00:25:24,624
Showing his new merchandise
to a potential buyer, perhaps.
536
00:25:24,626 --> 00:25:27,093
I... I don't care
if you found one quagga,
537
00:25:27,095 --> 00:25:29,996
two quagga...
I care that you found any.
538
00:25:29,998 --> 00:25:31,498
They're extinct.
539
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:34,034
Actually, it seems that
they're now de-extinct.
540
00:25:34,036 --> 00:25:37,337
As I'm sure you're aware,
scientists have recently
541
00:25:37,339 --> 00:25:41,574
pioneered biotechnology capable
of resurrecting extinct species.
542
00:25:41,576 --> 00:25:44,010
Essentially, the DNA
of the extinct creature is
543
00:25:44,012 --> 00:25:46,980
placed inside the uterus of its
nearing living genetic relative.
544
00:25:46,982 --> 00:25:49,049
In the quagga's case,
that's a zebra.
545
00:25:49,051 --> 00:25:52,318
One pregnancy later,
a formerly extinct species
546
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,220
is birthed into being.
547
00:25:55,624 --> 00:25:59,259
De-extinction is a painstaking
process, Dr. Joseph.
548
00:25:59,261 --> 00:26:01,694
The pregnant animal requires
great care and attention
549
00:26:01,696 --> 00:26:03,430
throughout its gestation period,
550
00:26:03,432 --> 00:26:05,832
which in the case of the zebras,
would be 13 months.
551
00:26:05,834 --> 00:26:08,635
Someone's been giving our zebras
secret checkups?
552
00:26:08,637 --> 00:26:11,071
No one has access
553
00:26:11,073 --> 00:26:13,039
to these animals
except zoo employees.
554
00:26:14,476 --> 00:26:16,176
17 months ago, a pair
of female zebras
555
00:26:16,178 --> 00:26:18,078
arrived at the Bronx Zoo.
556
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,979
Three months later,
it was announced
557
00:26:19,981 --> 00:26:21,815
that both animals were pregnant.
558
00:26:21,817 --> 00:26:25,285
Unbeknownst to anyone except
our mysterious de-extinctionist,
559
00:26:25,287 --> 00:26:28,721
the animals were not pregnant
with zebras but with quaggas.
560
00:26:28,723 --> 00:26:30,356
BELL: Now, for the
next 56 weeks,
561
00:26:30,358 --> 00:26:31,791
they enjoy first-rate care
562
00:26:31,793 --> 00:26:33,793
and accommodation
at your facility,
563
00:26:33,795 --> 00:26:36,296
then when their due date's
finally drawn near, the criminal
564
00:26:36,298 --> 00:26:38,998
drives them away in a truck
to give birth in secret.
565
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,501
Why, though? If you're
gonna reintroduce a species,
566
00:26:41,503 --> 00:26:43,570
wouldn't you want
to be honored for it?
567
00:26:43,572 --> 00:26:45,839
Honored. Or paid.
568
00:26:45,841 --> 00:26:47,440
Not necessarily in that order.
569
00:26:47,442 --> 00:26:50,110
The illegal market for
rare and endangered animals
570
00:26:50,112 --> 00:26:51,845
is quite robust.
571
00:26:51,847 --> 00:26:54,914
The introduction
of an extinct creature
572
00:26:54,916 --> 00:26:58,084
could create quite a frenzy
in certain shadowy places.
573
00:26:58,086 --> 00:27:00,453
Dr. Joseph, we're assuming
you have an alibi
574
00:27:00,455 --> 00:27:02,155
for last night and this morning?
575
00:27:02,157 --> 00:27:04,224
I was with my wife and kids
last night.
576
00:27:04,226 --> 00:27:06,926
We had friends over for dinner,
I dropped my daughter off
577
00:27:06,928 --> 00:27:08,361
at school this morning.
578
00:27:08,363 --> 00:27:10,430
Excellent. Now that we've
cleared that up,
579
00:27:10,432 --> 00:27:12,966
we need your help.
580
00:27:14,669 --> 00:27:16,236
JOSEPH:
Good afternoon.
581
00:27:16,238 --> 00:27:18,972
Those of you who came in
on your day off, thanks.
582
00:27:18,974 --> 00:27:21,107
As the group that
looks after the zebras
583
00:27:21,109 --> 00:27:23,376
here at the zoo, I wanted
to give you the chance to meet
584
00:27:23,378 --> 00:27:25,078
the men responsible
for bringing our ladies home.
585
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,013
Detective Marcus Bell
586
00:27:27,015 --> 00:27:30,150
and NYPD consultant
Sherlock Holmes.
587
00:27:31,686 --> 00:27:34,320
Uh, we appreciate the
welcome, but unfortunately,
588
00:27:34,322 --> 00:27:36,256
one of you is being
quite hypocritical.
589
00:27:37,826 --> 00:27:39,759
The man who stole
your zebras,
590
00:27:39,761 --> 00:27:41,828
who is most likely the same man
591
00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:45,532
who murdered a veterinarian
named David Chang,
592
00:27:45,534 --> 00:27:48,935
is amongst us
at this very moment.
593
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:56,075
His name is Donovan Gaines.
594
00:27:56,077 --> 00:27:58,811
What? No, no, I...
595
00:27:58,813 --> 00:28:00,480
Save your protests
for the trial.
596
00:28:00,482 --> 00:28:02,882
You, Donovan, are the man
who stole a truck
597
00:28:02,884 --> 00:28:05,552
from Axiom Parcel Delivery
last week.
598
00:28:05,554 --> 00:28:08,021
You are the man who used
that truck to steal two zebras
599
00:28:08,023 --> 00:28:09,489
from this facility.
600
00:28:09,491 --> 00:28:11,558
And when their delivery
did not go as you had hoped,
601
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,993
you're very likely
the man who murdered
602
00:28:13,995 --> 00:28:15,895
Dr. David Chang in cold blood.
603
00:28:15,897 --> 00:28:17,163
No, no, you're crazy.
I didn't have...
604
00:28:17,165 --> 00:28:18,498
Detective Bell,
could I speak to you
605
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:20,033
over here for a moment?
Would you just...
606
00:28:20,035 --> 00:28:22,035
One second.
607
00:28:23,772 --> 00:28:26,472
What are you doing? You didn't
tell me you had a suspect.
608
00:28:26,474 --> 00:28:29,108
I don't. Or I didn't when
I started talking. I do now.
609
00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:31,144
You'll recall
the manager at Federal Feeds
610
00:28:31,146 --> 00:28:33,213
described our perpetrator
as a white man.
611
00:28:33,215 --> 00:28:34,614
Course I remember.
That's why I was surprised
612
00:28:34,616 --> 00:28:36,683
when you tore
into that guy.
613
00:28:36,685 --> 00:28:38,184
I've accused Donovan Gaines
because I'm quite certain
614
00:28:38,186 --> 00:28:40,253
he did not commit the crimes;
I wanted to observe
615
00:28:40,255 --> 00:28:41,921
the behaviors of
the other people in the room.
616
00:28:41,923 --> 00:28:44,324
Now, the more
I've accused Donovan Gaines,
617
00:28:44,326 --> 00:28:46,059
the more a man named
Ben Reynolds has relaxed.
618
00:28:46,061 --> 00:28:48,494
His breathing has slowed, his
blood pressure has dropped,
619
00:28:48,496 --> 00:28:50,830
and his hands have
unclenched; he is relieved.
620
00:28:50,832 --> 00:28:52,732
Uh, i-is everything okay?
621
00:28:52,734 --> 00:28:54,267
Everybody's kind of
waiting to see
622
00:28:54,269 --> 00:28:56,169
if you guys plan
to come back over...
623
00:28:56,171 --> 00:28:58,504
Actually, we only have business
with one of your employees:
624
00:28:58,506 --> 00:28:59,973
Ben Reynolds.
625
00:28:59,975 --> 00:29:03,476
And we'd prefer
to speak to him at the station.
626
00:29:08,250 --> 00:29:09,849
Finally.
627
00:29:09,851 --> 00:29:12,452
I'm gonna say one thing
and then I want my lawyer.
628
00:29:12,454 --> 00:29:16,055
I did not steal two zebras.
629
00:29:16,057 --> 00:29:17,357
Why would anybody even do that?
630
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:19,425
Oh, well, in this case,
to use their wombs
631
00:29:19,427 --> 00:29:22,095
to reintroduce the quagga
species to the world.
632
00:29:22,097 --> 00:29:25,031
Are you not using your
job at the zoo to finance
633
00:29:25,033 --> 00:29:26,966
your PhD in zoology?
634
00:29:26,968 --> 00:29:28,635
Yeah. So?
635
00:29:28,637 --> 00:29:30,336
So you have
the technical expertise
636
00:29:30,338 --> 00:29:32,171
to attempt de-extinction,
you have access to the zebras,
637
00:29:32,173 --> 00:29:33,973
you also have
quite a bit of debt.
638
00:29:33,975 --> 00:29:36,576
You fit the profile
of our criminal rather exactly.
639
00:29:37,946 --> 00:29:40,246
Mr. Reynolds,
we're gonna cut to the chase.
640
00:29:40,248 --> 00:29:42,248
The man who killed
David Chang
641
00:29:42,250 --> 00:29:44,250
left DNA behind at the scene.
642
00:29:44,252 --> 00:29:46,919
So if it wasn't you,
just provide us with a sample,
643
00:29:46,921 --> 00:29:48,388
you'll be on your way.
644
00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:49,956
Why should I help you?
645
00:29:49,958 --> 00:29:51,524
If you choose not to cooperate,
646
00:29:51,526 --> 00:29:53,059
we'll just monitor
your whereabouts
647
00:29:53,061 --> 00:29:54,761
until we can force you to.
648
00:29:57,065 --> 00:29:59,165
Lawyer.
649
00:29:59,167 --> 00:30:01,067
Now.
650
00:30:02,937 --> 00:30:06,272
I'll put a team on him
till we get the paperwork.
651
00:30:06,274 --> 00:30:08,541
If we're lucky, we won't
even need a court order.
652
00:30:08,543 --> 00:30:10,209
He's not gonna
give us a DNA sample,
653
00:30:10,211 --> 00:30:13,046
but perhaps he's got one
floating about in the wild.
654
00:30:14,349 --> 00:30:16,582
(knocking)
655
00:30:21,456 --> 00:30:23,656
(sighs) You really are
on your best behavior.
656
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,027
Must have killed you
not to just pick the lock.
657
00:30:28,029 --> 00:30:29,929
Nonsense. I had several more
seconds worth of waiting in me.
658
00:30:29,931 --> 00:30:30,931
Your mail.
659
00:30:30,932 --> 00:30:32,465
I did pick that lock.
660
00:30:32,467 --> 00:30:35,902
Although I did not steam open
any of the correspondence.
661
00:30:35,904 --> 00:30:37,337
Been shopping.
662
00:30:37,339 --> 00:30:39,005
Yeah, you've been great
the past few days,
663
00:30:39,007 --> 00:30:40,740
but, you know, it's time
to get off the couch.
664
00:30:40,742 --> 00:30:43,042
Well, you'll be pleased
to know that your nudge
665
00:30:43,044 --> 00:30:45,545
towards Letchworth Village
paid off.
666
00:30:45,547 --> 00:30:47,647
This afternoon,
Detective Bell and I identified
667
00:30:47,649 --> 00:30:49,716
the zebra-stealing murderer
as a zoo employee
668
00:30:49,718 --> 00:30:50,817
named Ben Reynolds.
669
00:30:50,819 --> 00:30:52,218
He refused to give us
670
00:30:52,220 --> 00:30:54,554
a DNA sample,
so I placed a call to my contact
671
00:30:54,556 --> 00:30:56,422
at the zoo, who happily
dug through the trash
672
00:30:56,424 --> 00:30:58,358
and found a can
of the grape soda
673
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,393
preferred by Mr. Reynolds.
674
00:31:00,395 --> 00:31:03,096
And preliminary DNA test results
indicate a match.
675
00:31:03,098 --> 00:31:04,797
Bell and his merry men
676
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,300
are on their way
to make an arrest as we speak.
677
00:31:08,136 --> 00:31:09,469
What is it?
678
00:31:09,471 --> 00:31:11,204
Look at the return zip code.
679
00:31:11,206 --> 00:31:13,106
It's the same place as
the prison they're keeping
680
00:31:13,108 --> 00:31:15,141
Elana March.
I doubt that's her handwriting.
681
00:31:15,143 --> 00:31:18,111
She'd have found someone
to send it on her behalf.
682
00:31:18,113 --> 00:31:20,947
We can call captain and tell him
there's been a threat.
683
00:31:20,949 --> 00:31:23,082
(phone ringing)
684
00:31:23,084 --> 00:31:25,752
Detective Bell.
Mr. Reynolds in custody?
685
00:31:25,754 --> 00:31:27,553
BELL:
Ben Reynolds is in the wind.
686
00:31:27,555 --> 00:31:29,522
Well, how's that possible?
You had men watching him.
687
00:31:29,524 --> 00:31:31,724
You should get over here.
688
00:31:32,827 --> 00:31:35,194
Go. I'll call Gregson.
This is just
689
00:31:35,196 --> 00:31:37,029
Elana trying to get
inside my head.
690
00:31:43,505 --> 00:31:44,937
Reynolds came home at 4:30.
691
00:31:44,939 --> 00:31:47,106
We had a unit on the
front and back door.
692
00:31:47,108 --> 00:31:50,276
He never left. Now, we show
up to arrest him at 6:30,
693
00:31:50,278 --> 00:31:53,846
and the place is empty.
694
00:31:53,848 --> 00:31:56,149
I take it you've searched
the other apartments
695
00:31:56,151 --> 00:31:58,418
in the building?
He's nowhere.
696
00:31:58,420 --> 00:32:01,754
It's like the guy
vanished into thin air.
697
00:32:20,608 --> 00:32:22,475
You know the slang
698
00:32:22,477 --> 00:32:24,610
“to eighty-six,” meaning
to get rid of something,
699
00:32:24,612 --> 00:32:28,047
originated in a New York
speakeasy called Chumley's?
700
00:32:28,049 --> 00:32:29,282
No.
701
00:32:29,284 --> 00:32:31,184
You see,
the rear entrance of the bar
702
00:32:31,186 --> 00:32:34,320
held the address
86 Bedford Street.
703
00:32:34,322 --> 00:32:37,757
Now, when the manager got word
that a raid was on its way,
704
00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:39,425
he would eighty-six his patrons.
705
00:32:39,427 --> 00:32:41,227
He would rush them
out of the back door,
706
00:32:41,229 --> 00:32:42,695
the 86 Bedford Street door,
707
00:32:42,697 --> 00:32:45,631
while he greeted police
at the front.
708
00:32:45,633 --> 00:32:47,934
I assume you're going somewhere
with this.
709
00:32:47,936 --> 00:32:50,703
Well, as it happens,
we're standing across the street
710
00:32:50,705 --> 00:32:54,507
from the building
that used to house Chumley's.
711
00:32:54,509 --> 00:32:58,478
Now, police of the era
could never determine exactly...
712
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,112
how Chumley's
713
00:33:00,114 --> 00:33:03,783
was bringing bootleg liquor
into the building.
714
00:33:04,853 --> 00:33:07,720
Turns out, there was
a network of tunnels
715
00:33:07,722 --> 00:33:11,624
leading from the speakeasy
to the adjacent buildings...
716
00:33:11,626 --> 00:33:13,059
(floor creaking)
717
00:33:13,061 --> 00:33:15,394
...buildings the police
weren't watching.
718
00:33:16,998 --> 00:33:20,299
Care to have a guess what's
underneath these floorboards?
719
00:33:22,971 --> 00:33:25,171
(hinges creak)
720
00:33:29,644 --> 00:33:33,379
Ben Reynolds didn't
vanish into thin air.
721
00:33:33,381 --> 00:33:36,415
He vanished
into a tunnel.
722
00:33:46,052 --> 00:33:48,853
Ben Reynolds is wanted
for the murder of David Chang.
723
00:33:48,855 --> 00:33:52,623
The case against him is strong,
so he has no choice but to flee.
724
00:33:52,625 --> 00:33:54,625
He's an indebted
graduate student
725
00:33:54,627 --> 00:33:56,961
with very few
material assets.
726
00:33:56,963 --> 00:33:59,197
If he wants to finance
his life on the run,
727
00:33:59,199 --> 00:34:02,834
he has precisely one chip
which he can and must cash in:
728
00:34:02,836 --> 00:34:05,503
an infant quagga.
729
00:34:05,505 --> 00:34:07,405
These are the facts.
730
00:34:07,407 --> 00:34:09,173
Questions?
731
00:34:09,175 --> 00:34:10,541
Yes.
732
00:34:10,543 --> 00:34:11,943
What am I doing here?
733
00:34:11,945 --> 00:34:14,746
I mean, we had a
work day. It ended.
734
00:34:14,748 --> 00:34:18,282
The normal thing is to go our
separate ways for a few hours.
735
00:34:20,086 --> 00:34:21,719
The fire of deduction
cannot be kindled
736
00:34:21,721 --> 00:34:24,188
without the frisson
of person-to-person contact.
737
00:34:24,190 --> 00:34:25,656
If you want
to work together,
738
00:34:25,658 --> 00:34:27,425
you need to get used
to working odd hours.
739
00:34:27,427 --> 00:34:29,827
Hey. I've been working this case
as a cop
740
00:34:29,829 --> 00:34:31,529
ever since
we found Chang's corpse.
741
00:34:31,531 --> 00:34:32,531
Regardless.
742
00:34:32,532 --> 00:34:34,198
The lines are blurred.
743
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,400
You are committed to seeing
this through via my methods.
744
00:34:37,771 --> 00:34:39,704
We have no idea
745
00:34:39,706 --> 00:34:41,239
where Reynolds is;
a search of his apartment
746
00:34:41,241 --> 00:34:43,708
has yielded no clues
as to where he is keeping
747
00:34:43,710 --> 00:34:46,043
his one remaining quagga.
748
00:34:46,045 --> 00:34:48,579
He does, however,
have to sell the beast.
749
00:34:48,581 --> 00:34:50,515
Our best chance
of a quick apprehension
750
00:34:50,517 --> 00:34:52,683
is to pose as buyers
and then arrest him
751
00:34:52,685 --> 00:34:53,718
at the point of transaction.
752
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:55,052
How do we do that?
753
00:34:55,054 --> 00:34:56,687
This guy knows
we're looking for him.
754
00:34:56,689 --> 00:34:58,356
He's not gonna put out
a want ad.
755
00:34:58,358 --> 00:35:00,892
No, but he will want to create
a vigorous marketplace
756
00:35:00,894 --> 00:35:02,427
for the animal.
757
00:35:02,429 --> 00:35:04,195
There is, at this moment,
758
00:35:04,197 --> 00:35:06,197
a bidding war
happening somewhere.
759
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:09,934
All we need to do is find it
and win it.
760
00:35:09,936 --> 00:35:11,436
What's this?
761
00:35:11,438 --> 00:35:13,237
This is everything I could find
on criminal cases
762
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,506
involving the sale
of endangered animals.
763
00:35:15,508 --> 00:35:18,075
There's a global marketplace
for these unfortunate creatures.
764
00:35:18,077 --> 00:35:20,044
It's clandestine,
but there must be a way
765
00:35:20,046 --> 00:35:21,946
to connect the buyers
with the sellers.
766
00:35:21,948 --> 00:35:24,749
So you think there's, what, some
kind of code these guys use?
767
00:35:24,751 --> 00:35:26,818
You know, there are people
who work this stuff full-time.
768
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:28,319
Don't you think
they would have found it by now?
769
00:35:28,321 --> 00:35:31,823
People, Detective Bell,
are not you and me.
770
00:35:38,398 --> 00:35:40,698
(alarm clock ringing)
771
00:35:45,138 --> 00:35:47,305
(ringing stops)
772
00:35:55,315 --> 00:35:58,616
You want to tell me why we're
having breakfast in Greenpoint?
773
00:35:58,618 --> 00:36:00,751
You made it.
Excellent.
774
00:36:00,753 --> 00:36:03,688
Took the liberty
of ordering for you.
775
00:36:03,690 --> 00:36:06,357
Ah. I don't eat red meat.
776
00:36:06,359 --> 00:36:08,359
A man of hidden depths.
777
00:36:08,361 --> 00:36:10,361
We're here
because this cafe
778
00:36:10,363 --> 00:36:13,297
affords us the
best vantage point.
779
00:36:13,299 --> 00:36:15,566
Shortly after you fell
asleep last night,
780
00:36:15,568 --> 00:36:17,435
I realized there
was a common factor
781
00:36:17,437 --> 00:36:19,904
in several recent
illegal animal trades.
782
00:36:19,906 --> 00:36:23,908
In each case, the transaction
was arranged via a classified ad
783
00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:26,477
placed on a Web site that
deals in animal trading.
784
00:36:26,479 --> 00:36:29,647
Most of the buying and selling
on there, perfectly legitimate,
785
00:36:29,649 --> 00:36:32,183
but every once in
a while, there's an ad
786
00:36:32,185 --> 00:36:35,319
which features the phrase
“once in a blue moon”"
787
00:36:35,321 --> 00:36:37,355
Is that one
of our unmarked vans?
788
00:36:37,357 --> 00:36:42,293
“Once in a blue moon” functions
as a dog whistle in those ads.
789
00:36:42,295 --> 00:36:45,162
It's used to signal that
endangered or outlawed animals
790
00:36:45,164 --> 00:36:46,831
are for sale.
791
00:36:46,833 --> 00:36:49,500
And you found an ad last night
using that phrase?
792
00:36:49,502 --> 00:36:51,335
Five, actually.
793
00:36:51,337 --> 00:36:53,938
It seems that Ben
Reynolds is rather keen
794
00:36:53,940 --> 00:36:56,107
to peddle his
equine wares.
795
00:36:56,109 --> 00:36:59,544
I contacted him, pretending
to be a man named Sigerson.
796
00:36:59,546 --> 00:37:01,145
Why Sigerson?
797
00:37:01,147 --> 00:37:03,848
It's a pseudonym
I use occasionally.
798
00:37:03,850 --> 00:37:06,450
Mmm. I outbid
the others,
799
00:37:06,452 --> 00:37:08,953
arranged a meeting,
contacted Captain Gregson.
800
00:37:08,955 --> 00:37:11,122
Here we are.
801
00:37:11,124 --> 00:37:13,057
The two parties are
meant to inspect things
802
00:37:13,059 --> 00:37:16,627
to their mutual satisfaction
and then switch cars.
803
00:37:16,629 --> 00:37:19,130
That's Reynolds.
804
00:37:20,099 --> 00:37:21,899
Why aren't
they arresting him?
805
00:37:21,901 --> 00:37:23,968
They haven't seen
the quagga yet.
806
00:37:32,045 --> 00:37:33,611
(sirens wailing)
807
00:37:33,613 --> 00:37:35,079
(tires screeching)
808
00:37:35,081 --> 00:37:37,315
OFFICER:
Freeze!
809
00:37:39,552 --> 00:37:42,954
You know, I could have arranged
all this with the department.
810
00:37:42,956 --> 00:37:44,755
You were asleep.
811
00:38:00,673 --> 00:38:03,040
It was a pleasure, Holmes.
812
00:38:03,042 --> 00:38:07,078
No, the pleasure was mine
and mine alone, Marcus.
813
00:38:22,729 --> 00:38:24,996
WATSON:
My dearest Watson:
814
00:38:24,998 --> 00:38:26,497
Although it's been far too long
815
00:38:26,499 --> 00:38:28,366
since we laid eyes
on each other,
816
00:38:28,368 --> 00:38:31,202
I continue to follow your
career with great interest.
817
00:38:31,204 --> 00:38:34,071
I was sorry to hear about
the murder of Andrew Mittal
818
00:38:34,073 --> 00:38:36,707
and more than a bit unhappy
to learn that his death
819
00:38:36,709 --> 00:38:39,577
was an attempt on your own
most cherished life.
820
00:38:39,579 --> 00:38:41,712
I still believe
there's a game unfolding...
821
00:38:41,714 --> 00:38:44,782
MORIARTY: ...between Sherlock and I,
and you have made yourself
822
00:38:44,784 --> 00:38:47,818
a valued
and essential contributor.
823
00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:50,821
I won't have you removed
from play prematurely.
824
00:38:50,823 --> 00:38:53,824
Uninvited participants
are not welcome at the table,
825
00:38:53,826 --> 00:38:57,862
and their intrusions
will be dealt with accordingly.
826
00:38:57,864 --> 00:39:00,665
I've got a situation.
Open 10 cell.
827
00:39:00,667 --> 00:39:03,501
(door buzzes)
828
00:39:03,503 --> 00:39:05,803
Call the control room
immediately.
829
00:39:05,805 --> 00:39:08,439
MORIARTY: There may well be
more rounds to be played
830
00:39:08,441 --> 00:39:11,108
between the two of us,
and until such time
831
00:39:11,110 --> 00:39:12,943
as we're both free to engage,
832
00:39:12,945 --> 00:39:16,480
I shall remain,
in delighted anticipation...
833
00:39:16,482 --> 00:39:19,450
Jamie Moriarty.
834
00:39:19,452 --> 00:39:21,218
Gregson called the
prison an hour ago.
835
00:39:21,220 --> 00:39:22,653
Elana March is dead.
836
00:39:22,655 --> 00:39:24,588
Moriarty was transferred
three weeks ago.
837
00:39:24,590 --> 00:39:26,490
He's not even sure
where they're holding her.
838
00:39:26,492 --> 00:39:29,860
Once they find out, someone will
go and ask her how she did this.
839
00:39:31,764 --> 00:39:33,831
It's a fool's errand.
840
00:39:33,833 --> 00:39:37,768
She will have left nothing
to connect her to the crime.
841
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,440
And you?
842
00:39:45,645 --> 00:39:49,080
I feel...
843
00:39:49,082 --> 00:39:52,383
okay.
844
00:39:52,385 --> 00:39:55,486
I feel clear
about something.
845
00:39:55,488 --> 00:39:58,923
Our work, what we do...
846
00:39:58,925 --> 00:40:00,891
it's not just a job now.
847
00:40:00,893 --> 00:40:03,194
It's who I am.
848
00:40:03,196 --> 00:40:04,995
I'm a detective.
849
00:40:04,997 --> 00:40:07,431
I'm ready to embrace that.
850
00:40:07,433 --> 00:40:10,201
I live in this
world, your world,
851
00:40:10,203 --> 00:40:13,471
and I probably will
for the rest of my life.
852
00:40:13,473 --> 00:40:15,806
It isn't my world.
853
00:40:15,808 --> 00:40:19,410
It's our world.
854
00:40:21,948 --> 00:40:24,482
I understand that now.
855
00:40:26,786 --> 00:40:29,553
I accept it.
I know what it means.
856
00:40:29,555 --> 00:40:32,490
And what does it mean?
857
00:40:35,528 --> 00:40:38,829
It means that it's ridiculous
for me to think
858
00:40:38,831 --> 00:40:42,733
that... I can have
a normal life.
859
00:40:42,735 --> 00:40:46,003
I'm not gonna do that anymore.
860
00:40:46,005 --> 00:40:48,072
Just like I'm not gonna pretend
861
00:40:48,074 --> 00:40:51,142
this isn't the best place
for us to do our work.
862
00:40:51,144 --> 00:40:52,643
You're always welcome
to come here.
863
00:40:52,645 --> 00:40:54,378
You know that.
864
00:40:54,380 --> 00:40:57,081
You don't understand.
865
00:40:58,818 --> 00:41:01,252
I'm saying
that what I need to do
866
00:41:01,254 --> 00:41:04,855
is commit myself
to this work completely.
867
00:41:06,893 --> 00:41:09,593
