04x04 - Dollar and Scents

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Patel!

Are you open or what?

Can we get some
coffee over here?

(SIGHS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Oh, my God.

MAN: (ON PA SYSTEM) The next planetarium
tour starts in five minutes.

He doesn't have the binder.

He's never gonna pass the test.

Don't let him see it.
(ALL CHUCKLING)

CARRIE: Hey.

What's going on? You look...

You look like you're having
a little trouble there, huh?

I got ditched by my team.

You did?

We took... We took
all the notes together,

but they have
the binder, so I...

So you can't answer
the questions, huh?

Lucky for you, I remember everything.
What grade are you in?

Sixth grade.

I was in the sixth
grade once, too,

and I had to take
a tour of the planetarium

and answer a bunch of questions.

Let me take a look at this.

We're gonna bring out
your inner genius right now.

Okay, what is
the brightest star?

Well, they're gonna expect you to
say Sirius is the brightest star

because it is the brightest
star that you can see at night.

But the real brightest star,

other than you of course, is?

The sun?

Exactly, you're a genius.

All right, what is the name
of the ninth planet?

What is with these people?

This is another trick question.

What they want you to say is
that there is no ninth planet

because Pluto is just
a big chunk of floating ice.

But I think Pluto
might get a second chance.

How do you know all that?

I remember everything.

That's so cool.

You're cool.

Hey, if those kids
give you a hard time anymore,

you tell 'em you have
a friend who's a cop

and she'll arrest them.
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Al.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(CAMERA CLICKING)

All right, thanks. Okay.

CARRIE: Hey, Al, what do we got?

Victim's name is Sunil Patel.

Born in India,
worked here about two years.

Friend of
the family owns the place.

Register was untouched,
so not a robbery.

CARRIE: Hmm.

He comes in,
opens up the store, right?

First thing he's gonna do is

make the coffee.

But there are no filters.

So, he goes to get the filters

and before he can
finish what he started

he comes face to face
with his k*ller.

What about the owner?

Kamala Kapoor.

Patel always came in first,

then she'd come
and help him open up.

Okay, what'd she
have to say for herself?

Not much.
She's pretty shaken up.

Really?

She's also 5'2",
maybe 125 pounds.

As I recall, Emily Merris from
Syracuse was five-foot and 100 pounds,

and she stabbed
her husband 17 times.

As I recall, little Emily stabbed her
husband while he was unconscious.

And as I recall,
little Emily smacked him

over the head with
a 40-pound mallet.

Are you always right? Mostly.

All right, I'll
check her out again.

Thank you.

Hey.

What've you got?

So it appears this young
man died of asphyxiation.

There's minimal trauma to the
nostrils, no ligature marks.

Honestly, I can't be certain

what the cause of death is
until I open him up.

Well, whatever it was,
he put up a fight.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hey, Al, have you had a chance to...
Sandra Russo.

Been a long time.

Hello, Al. I knew
you'd be lurking around

here somewhere. Good to see you.

I thought lurking
was more your thing.

Okay, so you two have met.

Well, Al, Captain Russo here...

Captain?

Oh, of course,
you've made captain.

No, Al, Captain Russo, she's...

Actually, I'm here
looking for some help.

Really? Mmm-hmm.

What help could
you possibly need?

Certainly not with
your career, right?

Going so well.

Maybe with a case?

Did the commissioner ask you
to do some real police work,

you got all excited
and then you remembered,

you don't know what that is?

Actually, the commissioner
did ask me to do a job.

Very good.
And I do need your help.

Well, we're kind of busy here
at Major Crimes, Captain Russo.

If the commissioner
wants our help,

he can start by
giving us a new boss.

Oh, he has.

He has?

You gotta be kidding me.

No. I would have given you some
warning, but I just decided not to.

You're the new head
of Major Crimes?

Al, look, for the last
two years, Major Crimes

has been the jewel
in this police force.

Mostly due to you and
your brilliant partner.

I'm just here to keep
that jewel sparkling.

That's my job.

Yours, like it always was,
is to take the credit.

That's funny.

I remember you didn't mind
taking credit eight years ago.

Or do you still not
wanna talk about that?

I'm not talking about Tendler.

Not now, not ever.

Welcome to Major Crimes,
Captain Russo.

Thank you.
This is gonna be great.

So I haven't looked at samples
from Patel's nasal cavity yet.

Okay.

But I did find subdural hemorrhaging
around the nose and mouth.

Probably caused by pinching the nose
shut and holding the jaw closed.

How does that...
How does that work?

Come here.

Okay.

Okay, so you see this a lot
in human smuggling, right?

You got a truckload of
cargo at a checkpoint,

somebody's coughing, sick
or they just won't be quiet.

Coyotes got a quick
way of shutting them up.

What?

I did a year with
ICE down in Yuma.

Why would somebody
wanna shut this guy up?

I don't know. But when you
find out let me know.

Hey, so the Patel kid
checks out.

He's squeaky clean.

He's got a family
back in Mumbai, India.

Landlord says
he's a great tenant.

Apparently he sends a quarter
of his paycheck home each week.

Sure it's going to his parents?

Got nothing from
the FBI or Homeland.

I mean, I'll keep digging, Al,

but I don't make this
kid for a t*rror1st.

Let's be sure.

All right.

So, you and the captain?

You, um... You go
back a little, yeah?

A little.

Well, hey, old times, right?

Very old times.

Hey, so we got a cause
of death on Sunil Patel.

Interesting.

Care to share with the class?

It's like a two-handed
suffocation thingy.

Bare-handed, maybe.

Bare-handed?

Yeah, you pinch the nose shut,

you hold the mouth
closed like...

Well, turn around I'll show you.

Uh, no. Okay.

Jay, do a crosscheck for
that MO in other homicides.

You got it, Boss.

Who's, uh...

Who's the new suit?
Oh, that's your new boss.

Captain Sandra Russo.

She looks, uh...

She looks pretty tough.
Any first impressions?

Known her a while.

She was my lieutenant
back at the 117.

Only stuck around
for a cup of coffee.

Long enough to
make captain anyway.

(CHUCKLES)

Sounds like
there's a story there.

Ah, nothing worth telling.
All right.

Well, perhaps I should
introduce myself.

Ah.

How's my hair?

Yeah, your hair is good.

Hey, Al. I might have
something for you on Patel.

There was a similar
homicide last night

at a private club
over on East 81st Street.

They found
the body this morning.

Preliminary on-scene
coroner's report

says suffocation,
most likely by hand.

Well, cleaning crew found
him, apparently, all right?

Michael Liu, some big
international finance hotshot.

Look at this place.

It's a sex club with a bar.

You a regular here?
Well, you know.

I'm a friendly guy.

Come on, body's in the back.

All right. Okay, look.

We've got hemorrhaging
around the mouth.

Same MO as Patel.

Two in one day?
Someone's on a mission.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(SNIFFING)

You smell that?

What?

Cologne.

DENNY: I'm more of a
body spray guy myself.

I bet you are, Denny.

Well, it is very refreshing.

Listen, I want you
to have Delina do

a skin scrape of
his face and his neck.

Your body scrape
request is my command.

DREW: Step away from the body.

I'm sorry. Excuse me?

RUSSO: Easy, easy, Drew.

Detective Wells, I'm Sandra
Russo, your new captain.

I have heard so much about you,

and it is such a pleasure
for me to meet you.

Well, it's an honor
to meet you, too.

Thank you.

This is Denny.

Yeah, call me Denny.

Okay.

Call me whatever you want. I
mean, you're the captain, so...

Detective Padilla.

So, I hate to start
off on the wrong foot,

but this is Special
Agent Drew Miller,

and the Bureau's
gonna run with this one.

Why?

Well, because,
as you're aware, Detective,

when the FBI has
an ongoing case,

the NYPD generally defers to a
Bureau request for jurisdiction,

and that's what's
happening right now.

I'll be taking it from here.

Excuse me.

What exactly is
the FBI investigating?

Sorry, that's confidential.

All right, we're done here.

I like how you
didn't take his sh*t.

Yeah, well, I'm
just getting started.

This is gonna be fun.

Hey, Delina.

Hey.

So, what's going on?

Suddenly I get a directive to
give everything I got on Liu

to the feds and only the feds.

Well, I would think of
it as less of a directive

and more of a,
you know, suggestion.

Is that right?

Got it.

All right, well,
I can pretty much confirm

the cause of death on Michael
Liu is the same as Patel.

Manual suffocation.

But here's the interesting part.

You smelt something on Liu, right?
Mmm-hmm.

Like a cologne? Yeah.

Some kind of cologne
was on Sunil Patel, too.

Really? Around the
mouth and nose.

It was faint, but it
was definitely there.

Check that out.

Lavender, tea tree, ambergris.
Right.

I mixed some up for you.

Now, it might not be exact,
but you'll get the idea.

Here.

(SNIFFS)

(SNIFFS)

You smell that? What?

Cologne.

That's it.

Thank you, Delina. No problem.

Any time. All right,
I just sent you the report.

You did? Yep.

Oh, boy.

sh*t's about to hit the fan.

RUSSO: What part of
"We're out of this case,"

do you and your partner
not understand?

We just got this email to Major
Crimes directed to Detective Wells

from the medical
examiner's office

regarding a certain
Michael Liu. What's that?

We're not trying to
muscle in on the feds,

but these homicides are related.

All right, I hear you,
but you know what?

You two have
lived up to the hype.

But listen to me,
I'm here to support you.

The best way to support us
is to let us do our thing.

Look, I'm gonna
tell you the department

is very, very happy
with your solve rate,

but your success
comes with a cost.

There are cops in every precinct

asking why they can't do
things the Carrie Wells way.

I wish I could tell 'em.

But that's not your job.
That's my job.

Oh.

And my answer is, from now on,

this department
is not gonna be run

like some rogue
branch of the NYPD.

We are going to
follow the standard rules

and procedures of
this department.

Rules and procedures? Mmm-hmm.

Gotta love that.

What, you have something to say?

You know what? I think you
were right the first time.

Let's just not talk
about Tendler now.

Oh, And please make sure your
partner understands my concerns.

Oh, I will.

All right, so have you got it?

What's with the cloak-and-dagger?
What's up, Carrie?

It's complicated.

All right, so what
we're doing, is it ill*gal?

Come on, Jay, you know me.

You're right. It's ill*gal.

Listen to me. There's a fine
line between ill*gal and legal.

And I don't have time for all
the politics on this one.

There is a direct connection

between Michael Liu
and Sunil Patel.

The MO, the cologne.

Everything I get on Liu...

Gets you one step closer
to finding Patel's k*ller.

Exactly. So, hand it over.

Okay, very interesting guy,
this Mr. Liu.

A couple years ago
a bunch of hackers

tried to shut down
the New York Stock Exchange.

Michael Liu was
a person of interest.

But the feds couldn't find anything
concrete to tie him to the operation.

You see, the Exchange is one of the
most secure sites in the world.

You need a direct line in.

And without any proof of that,
the case fell apart.

All right, and what has
Mr. Liu been up to since then?

Well, Mr. Liu was pitching some
huge hush-hush deal all over town.

Met with big-money people.

The feds have been keeping a
pretty close eye on him though.

I've seen him before.

What's his name?

That would be Philippe Huet.
Big securities trader.

He was at Patel's crime
scene, right near the deli.

Well, that makes sense

'cause Philippe Huet just
started a trading company

that he runs
out of his townhouse,

which coincidentally is right
next door to the Deli News Deli.

So maybe Philippe Huet is our
connection between the two victims.

You got it, Boss. Good job.

AL: Substances found on
Patel's face and neck

definitively match
those found on Michael Liu.

The two men were
k*lled by the same person.

That's interesting.

Even more interesting,
Philippe Huet,

who met with Michael Liu
yesterday morning,

lives right next door
to the Patel m*rder scene.

Honestly, Russo, I can't believe

we're still talking about this.

Well, Detective Burns and Wells

may have linked Philippe
Huet to both murders.

Look, I don't want to have to
call the deputy director on this.

Oh, you don't have to.

MELTZER: I'm right here, Drew.

Deputy Meltzer, sir.

Uh, we've already
taken a lead on this.

Not anymore.

Captain Russo's team has
developed some solid leads,

and I want all operational command
on this to come from Major Crimes.

Are you sure, sir? I am.

Get them up to speed,

and the Bureau will provide
tactical support as needed.

Nice work, Captain.

Thank you.

Well, looks like
we're partnering up

on this one, Agent Miller.

Okay.

For the past two weeks,
we've been hearing chatter

about an imminent electronic
attack on the NYSE.

We know Huet's been constructing
a supercomputer cluster

with various financial
hypercube architectures

in the basement
of his townhouse.

There's nothing really
ill*gal about building

a fast computer
to make more money.

Well, let's just say Huet's
motives are somewhat suspect.

Both his parents worked
for the UN in Yemen.

They were accidentally k*lled
in an American drone strike.

Well, then, why
k*ll Michael Liu?

We think Huet was
working with Liu

on another attack
on the Exchange.

But Liu had a weakness
for the boy bars,

and he liked to drink
and he liked to talk.

Lethal combination.

But if you're so
concerned about Huet,

why not just take
a look at his computers?

Well, at this point, concern
is just about all we got.

Not enough for a warrant.

Of course, if he
were to voluntarily

invite someone into his house,

you may not need a warrant.

With all the SEC scrutiny
he's been under,

he's not letting anybody close.

Unless he wants her close.

Who we talking about here?

You really think she can get in?

Oh, she can get in.

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)

ADAM: The 2011 Montrachets
are drinking beautifully now.

Adam, I'm sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted to thank you

for the recommendation
of the '05 Lynch-Bages.

It was wonderful, and I...

You're welcome.

Oh, wow.

Oh, wow!

I'm so sorry.

I'm Talia. You're
Philippe Huet, right?

You know me?

Well, I don't know you know you,

but I know you because of your.

Forbes cover article
a couple months back.

Wow. That article was
something spectacular.

I mean, what you said

about emerging growth markets

and how they're like wolves
protecting their young.

You know, I use that
with my own staff.

"Nurture and protection."

It was the perfect metaphor.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'm just babbling on here
like a crazy person.

So sorry. The point is that I...

What is the point?

Well, you just look so much better in
person than you did on your cover.

Join me for a drink.

Okay.

Are you in finance yourself?

No, I just have
a little design firm

that you've probably
never heard of.

Philippe, we have work to do.

Once my sister makes a plan
like a business lunch,

she just sticks to it,

and any interruption...

I'm going to let them know

that you are running late, hmm?

Oh.

I don't think she likes me.

I feel like I just
busted in here

and intruded on the whole...

Please. This is why
I love New York.

You never know
what's going to happen.

Meaning?

This morning I never knew I'd be

having a drink with
such a beautiful woman.

You say that to all the girls.
You're a flirt.

Well, I'm French.

(CHUCKLES) You
don't sound French.

My mother is, but I went to school here.
And you know what they say.

Frenchmen make the best

croissant.

(CHUCKLING) Oh.

That was a really bad joke.
That was terrible.

Ah.

Paris is my favorite city
in the whole world, though.

And what're your favorite spots?

Well, Musee Rodin

and that little carousel at
the base of the Eiffel Tower.

I think it's very charming.

Touristy, but charming.

Do you have
a favorite restaurant?

La Fontaine de Mars.

You know Paris very well.

I love Paris.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING) Oh.

I really should go.

My sister is
going to be furious,

but I want to meet
with you afterwards.

I'd love to. I should
be done in an hour.

Where should we meet?

Do you know Sag Harbor?

Of course I know Sag Harbor,

but I can't get there in an
hour at this time of day.

Actually, I can.

Chopper on the roof.
You got to be kidding me.

Hey, LaGuardia's backtracking
all the outgoing flight data.

We should know any minute.

She'll be okay.

Of course she will. Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, she's a force
of nature, isn't she?

Yeah. Sometimes I feel
like a storm chaser.

Hey, LaGuardia tracked them

to the east end of
Long Island, South Fork.

Philippe has a place
out there apparently.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That helicopter ride was
something, but this is... Wow.

It's the weekend home.
It's huge.

You're really rich, aren't you?

I'm a little. Just a teeny...
You're a little bit rich?

SARU: I'm sorry to interrupt,

but you're needed
in the study, sir.

But we just got here.

Manette says it's important.

Oh, Manette again.

I'll try to get this over
as quickly as possible.

All right.

I can take care of myself.

You know, I'm used to
being on my own.

You a regular here?
Well, you know.

I'm a friendly guy.

Hi-Meteor Cola.

I thought you could only get
that stuff in Shanghai.

I used to love it.

A few places sell
them now, I think,

but they're not easy to come by.

Deshu's very particular
about his stash.

Touch them at your peril.

MAN: Here you are, sir.

CARRIE: Thank you.

So do you have
family in France or no?

No. Um...

My parents were k*lled in an
accident several years ago.

They were working in a very
dangerous part of the world.

They knew the risks.

Still it's...

It's hard.

Sorry to hear that.

So then it's just
you and your sister?

Yeah, we're all that's left.

Would you ever
move back to Paris?

No, my work is here now.

But I thought you quit the bank.

I did. Now I'm my own boss.

I'm setting up a trading firm

with a direct link to
the Stock Exchange.

That is if your government
will allow me.

Will allow you?

Your Securities
Exchange Commission

treats me like I'm a criminal.

It's like I'm under
constant surveillance.

You're very interesting,
you know. Mysterious.

Well, mystery has a price.

Sometimes I feel like
I can't trust anyone.

You can trust me.

MANETTE: Sorry to
interrupt, Philippe.

Jakarta.

Now?

We weren't expecting to
hear from them till tomorrow.

Early risers.

Tell them I'll be right there.

Why do I get the feeling

that your sister's never going
to let us have a moment alone?

Listen, let me just handle
this call, and then I swear

no more interruptions.

Stay the night.

I want you to stay with me.

I would like that very much.

Let me go deal with Jakarta.

You know, this guy Huet sounds
like he has some anger issues.

Assaulted an English banker

when some minor
deal fell through.

Suspect in two other assaults

in an airport in the Maldives.

Also charged with
drunk and disorderly.

Jay, watch the car.

You watch your back, Boss.

I hope you like the room.

Yeah, it's gorgeous.
I mean, I may never leave.

If you need anything,
dial seven on the house phone.

Good night.

(KNOCKING)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

(WHISPERING) What are you doing?

What are you still doing here?
It's the middle of the night.

It is not the middle of the night.
It's 10:00 at night.

Besides, I like it here.
I feel rich.

Well, you're not.

I'm getting you out of here
before you get yourself k*lled.

I'm not gonna get myself k*lled.

You're gonna get me k*lled.

He trusts me. It's fine.

Okay, he trusts you. Trust this.

Talia Oberfeld
would never carry a g*n.

Who are you? Meryl Streep?

Take the g*n. PHILIPPE: Talia.

Talia!

Are you decent?

(CHUCKLES) Never.

Sorry. That phone call was a disaster.
It went on way too long.

Oh. Nightcap?

It's the middle of the night,

and I have had
such an exciting day

with the helicopter
ride and everything.

Do you mind if I pick up
where we left off tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Be my date.

I'm hosting a party at Solstice.

Yes. Yes, and I'll
make you a deal.

Since you're letting me get
my beauty rest tonight,

tomorrow...

I'll do whatever you want.

(CHUCKLES)

Night.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

So, he's throwing a party
at Solstice tomorrow.

Which is great.

I'll get another chance to
dress up and role-play and...

I wish he was having it
at his townhouse, though.

That way I could get a look and
see if his servers are there.

Well, I'll tell Miller and Captain
Russo that we will be there.

We?

After what I just saw,
you're not going alone.

Get out of here. AL: Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That's absurd.

Well, that's unacceptable.

What's wrong now?

Solstice just got shut down
by the health department.

Really? Mmm-hmm.

Uh...

Wow. So your party is...

Yeah, not happening.

Okay, well, I have an idea.
Uh-huh.

I know it's gonna
sound crazy, but you said

you had a house
in the city, right?

Yeah.

Big, fancy like this one? Yeah.

Why don't you just
move the party there?

You can send out an email. People
would be there in, like, a jiffy.

(CHUCKLES) Do you think?

We have a date tonight, right?

We have a date. Okay.

Hey, gotta say that was
a pretty slick move,

shutting down the restaurant.

How'd you pull that off?

You know, the old
c*ck in a jar trick.

That works, right?

I did that once at a Sizzlers,

and they comped my
whole surf and turf.

RUSSO: Jay.

Jay, I'm joking.

Yeah, no, I know.
I was joking, too. I mean...

RUSSO: The deputy health
commissioner owed me a favor,

so Solstice will get its A
rating back in a couple of days.

So you got Carrie's camera
rigged in that ring?

Done and done. Carrie's got a
mini receiver transponder.

We can hear everything
and she can hear us.

Does she know what she's
after in the basement?

Because she doesn't
have much time.

Well, if Huet's
system is operational,

it's gonna be lit up
like a Christmas tree.

I still don't like
the idea of her being alone.

Neither do I. That's why
I plan on being there.

You, Boss? As who?

Ted Sprague. Talia's trusted
business associate.

Yeah, I think throwing
a new face at Philippe

is gonna raise some red flags.

Not to mention, he's pretty
serious about Carrie.

I don't think he's gonna like
seeing her with another guy.

Well, it's this or
she's in there alone.

All right, you know what?
Be careful.

Both of you.

¶ Yeah, something in the air
and I feel it

¶ Yeah

¶ All I want to do
is believe it ¶

Here you are. Oh, thank you.

Oh, yes, I'd say that's a 2004.

Great vintage, don't you think?

(CHUCKLES) Who are you?

These champagne bubbles
are k*lling your brain cells.

You said you wanted
a classy date, here I am.

Not a classy date.

You're my business
associate, Ted Sprague.

Business associate.

All right. Okay, look.

We've got hemorrhaging around the mouth.
Same MO as Patel.

Yeah.

Hey, Al, that guy over there,

he has a scar on his finger.

Michael Liu had
the exact same scar.

CARRIE: Are you
getting this, Jay?

JAY: I got something on it.

Those scars are a brand

from the Nine Monkeys
criminal organization.

Talia, I've been looking
forward to seeing you all day.

Oh, hi. This is my business
associate, Ted Sprague.

Pleasure to meet you, Ted.

Yeah, some set-up
you have here, Philip.

Philippe.

Ah.

Well, I'll go mingle.
CARRIE: Mmm-hmm.

I must say I wasn't expecting
you to bring another man.

Do I have some competition?

With me there's
always competition.

Well, it's a good thing
I like a challenge.

Come on. Let me
show you the house.

Okay.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

JAY: Okay, here we go.

Say hello to.

Zhang Leji,

Ram Kazi and Mr. Lin Chunhua.

Can we have profiles,
please, Agent Miller?

The first two, Leji and Kazi,

have connections
with the Nine Monkeys.

No national affiliation, but
branches all over the world.

The hack we were investigating
Liu for was organized by them.

And what about the other guy?

Lin Chunhua,

goes by the name
Deshu in the States.

The guy's a stone-cold k*ller.

These guys are serious.

(TENSE MUSIC)

This one's my
most recent purchase.

But this one...

This one's been in the family
for three generations.

CARRIE: Wow.

It's beautiful.

Your idea to have the party
here was a stroke of genius.

The one downside being,

I'm rather quickly going through
the champagne in my cellar.

Mmm.

Speaking of champagne, is that
the powder room right there?

No, no, no. That's the cellar.

The powder room is upstairs.
Okay.

All right, I'll be right back.
Okay.

(KNOCKING)

Hello?

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Jay, can I get a com check?

Got you loud and clear, Carrie.

Hey, Carrie, that
painting back there?

Is that what I think it is?

Yep. Easy, Jay.

Wow. This guy's got
some really good taste.

Yeah, well, we both know that.
He likes me.

(SIGHS)

There's absolutely
nothing upstairs.

I'm gonna head downstairs.

Copy that. Got ya, Carrie.

(SNIFFS)

No.

The cologne.

Excuse me. What're
you doing here?

I'm looking for the powder room.

This is the guest bedroom.

The powder room is at the
other end of the hall.

Ah.

Thank you.

(SNIFFS)

(INAUDIBLE)

(CARRIE CLEARS THROAT)

I was just
making progress there.

I just found the same cologne
upstairs in the guest bedroom

that I smelt on
both dead bodies.

Does Deshu wear that cologne?

Well, I mean, I don't think
he had it on tonight.

Listen, I checked out upstairs.

I'm going down to the basement.

Wish me luck.

Wish me luck. Well, good luck.

I'll bring you back
a bottle of champagne.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, boy.

All right, Jay, help me
out here. Can you see this?

JAY: Looks like
a Surveil Tech M130 keypad.

I'm gonna try to run a
modified decryption program.

Carrie, can you put the camera
right up to each button?

I'm gonna see if I can
determine a wear pattern.

All right.

JAY: All right, it's gonna
take a couple seconds.

WOMAN: It was definitely
a rose varietal.

Fantastic. I forget
what it's called.

What... Do you remember what...

WOMAN: You know what? I'm not sure,
but it's based on the Grenache...

I'm gonna have to guess it's...

MAN: Absolutely.

We're all out. Sorry about that.

WOMAN: They're definitely...

I feel the same way about...

Oh, there's our host right now.

Excuse me for just one second.

Boy, what a party
you have thrown.

Thank you, Ted.
Can you excuse me?

Actually, um, before you go,

there's just something
I need to discuss with you.

I need to divest
$3 million or $4 million

before the end of the year.

I'm looking to place funds.

I don't know what
Talia told you about me,

but I'm really not
the person to talk to.

I think you'd probably be
exactly the person to talk to.

All right, Jay, come on.

All right, maybe
a couple more seconds.

It's still best to
consult a professional.

Yeah, well, I thought
that's what I was doing.

Could you go down to the cellar?

We're out of champagne.

Um, the thing is,
it's a lot of money.

I don't want it go somewhere that
means nothing to me. Mmm-hmm.

Right. I want it
to mean something.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, come on, Jay.
I'm running out of time here.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING) Uh...

Jay, come on,
come on, come on, come on.

JAY: No.

Hey, try 7-5-3-6-2.

Okay, 7-5-3-6-2.

No.

Uh...

Carrie, try 2-4-2-5-6.

2-4-2-5-6.

sh*t.

Any time now
would be great, Jay.

Carrie, try 2-3-6-4-7.

This is gonna work.

Come on, come on, come on.
All right.

Wow.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Can you get us behind
the server bank?

Uh-huh.

CARRIE: Let's see, he comes in and he
opens up the shop this morning, right?

First thing he does is
go to make the coffee.

There's no filters, so he

climbs up here to
get the filters.

Jay, this orange cable.

I saw the exact
same one in the deli.

Carrie, can you go in
tighter on those?

No way. I don't believe it.
What?

Those are multicore
fiber optic cables.

They were invented by the Dutch.

I mean, I've heard of them.
I've never seen 'em.

Jay, stay focused with me. Okay?

Basically, they're the fastest
data cables in the world.

I'm talking 250 terabytes
per second on a slow day.

Okay, and what would
they need it for?

You could download the entire
Harry Potter movie series

in about 0.06 milliseconds,

but my guess is Huet's got
something else in mind.

Carrie, can you follow those
cables to their source?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Wait a minute, hold on.

They're jacked into the
system as output cables.

They're not for
financial trades.

This is a direct
line into the heart of

global trading
through the Stock Exchange.

He's gonna hijack
the world markets.

If you dump
enough data fast enough

into the American
and Pacific exchanges

and the system overloads,
it'd be chaos.

So why run the cables
through the deli?

I don't know.

But I have a feeling
that Patel saw it,

and it's what got him k*lled.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Of course, anything involving schools
or education that I would...

Philippe, can I have
a word with you?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Ms. Oberfeld. Saru, hey.

Philippe just sent me down
here to get more champagne.

My task as well. Of course,
please, let me help you.

Mmm.

(SNIFFS)

That's an interesting
cologne you wear.

Thank you.

There's a perfumer
on Lexington Avenue

who makes it
particularly for me.

No one else in the world has it.

Now, after you.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Philippe.

Talia, what are you doing here?

I found her snooping about, sir.

I was not snooping about.

I was getting you some champagne

because you said
you were running out.

Talia, how did you get in?

Well, I just walked
right down the stairs.

All right, fine. I'm not Talia.

I'm a cop and I'm wired,

and backup's on the way.
And guess what?

You're under investigation
for homicide and terrorism.

All units, move in now.

No. Wait. We need more.

She has a play. Just wait.

(CHUCKLES) What are
you talking about?

I'm talking about
the two men Saru m*rder*d.

I'm talking about the cyber
attack you're planning

on the world financial market.

m*rder? Cyber-attacks?
This is insanity.

Saru, do you know
anything about this?

No, sir, nothing.

I'm calling my lawyer.

What about those cables, hmm?
What about those, Philippe?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I don't know what
those are doing there.

Maybe you know.

They simply allow us broader data
exchange in overseas trades.

Wait, Manette, I'm no fool.

I know something about
network architecture.

You shut up. For once.

Manette, what are you doing?

They k*lled our
parents, Philippe.

They offered us $20,000. They
didn't even fly their bodies home.

I want them to feel loss.

I want America to feel
what it's like

to have everything taken away.

How will this change anything?

I don't care. I want revenge.

No. Not like this.
Philippe, don't!

(GRUNTS)

All right, go. Go, go, go.

All units, go.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Drop it!

Drop it.

You okay?

I had him.

Yeah, sure you did.

OFFICER: Go on.

Up the stairs.

All right, let's go.

Oh, I'm sorry. This way.

Lieutenant, good job.

It is good to see you and
your partner in one piece.

We do what we can do.

You do.

I had my doubts,
but you did a good job.

The syndicate behind Manette's plan
is really gonna feel this one.

Mmm-hmm.

Quite an introduction to
Major Crimes. Thank you.

We scare you away already?

No. Are you kidding?

Quite the opposite.
It whets my appetite.

You know I love
a good challenge.

Okay, um, thanks.

Hey, hi. How you doing?

So, um, even though
I'm not Talia Oberfeld,

I want to say
that you're lovely,

and it was
actually a lot of fun.

Is this your idea of fun?

I can see how getting shot
and me being a cop

might put a damper
on things, you know.

I can't say I've ever seen an
officer in such a revealing dress.

AL: Don't let her fool you.

She dresses like this
undercover or not.

So, um, feel better.
They'll take good care of you.

And sorry again.

Seeing as we're all dressed
up, want to get a drink?

It's 5:00 in the morning, Al.

Oh, the night is young.

All right.

(CALM MUSIC)

CARRIE: All right, go ahead.

What?

You wanna ask me about Philippe.

You know you want to.

Go on.

Did you really have to kiss
him like that? (CHUCKLES)

Well, he's French,
and the French like to kiss.

French kiss.

And I was undercover,
so I was working.

Funny. It sure looked real.

Well, maybe it was kind of real.

What about you and the captain?
What's up there?

Ancient history. That's all.

You're gonna tell me someday.

Yeah, probably. Maybe.

What do you mean "kind of real"?

I like to kiss
good-looking men. Remember?

Hmm.

Cheers. Cheers.
