Elementary

Previously on Elementary...

What just happened?

Sorry about that.

How'd you do it?

Whatever it is, I'm sure it's trademarked

Odker technology...

I would trademark it

if I wanted anyone to know I had it.

So this is a dossier on someone you've marked for execution.

It's one last attempt to see if we could all work together.

Do your own research.

is it better to eliminate Conrad

or risk him killing dozens of people?

There was indeed a gun show in Vermont on the weekend

of Wesley Conrad's visit.

So he could've bought a gun.

Wesley Conrad. Might I have a word?

What is it?

It's a gun. Recently procured by Wesley Conrad.

He could have more guns.

I put him in touch with a law firm who are going to help him

resolve his grievances without violence.

Odin Reichenbach wants to see us.

Wesley Conrad killed himself this afternoon.

Right after he murdered both his parents.

The detectives at the 6-4 let me sit in

while they interviewed Wesley Conrad's sister.

She said there was some tension between Wesley and his parents,

but just the usual stuff you would expect

when an adult son moves back into the house:

his share of the bills, how long he was gonna stay, small stuff.

Nothing that would suggest this.

I know you're angry.

I am, too, but we can't blame ourselves.

Stopping Wesley

from shooting up the theater your way

was the right thing to do.

That's not what I'm angry about.

Is this the Conrads' house?

It's from this morning.

I told you I had eyes on them.

Secretly planted several webcams

when I visited their house. Keep watching.

That's the same thing that happened to our phones

and computers right before Odin showed up.

Something happened there that he didn't want us to see.

Wesley didn't kill himself

and his parents, Odin sent people there to kill them,

and then they staged it to make it look

like a murder-suicide.

When his signal-jamming technology

took out the Conrads' electronics,

it also unwittingly

took out mine.

Handed us his calling card.

How is this saving lives?

Well, perhaps he wanted to falsely prove his thesis.

Convince us that his program

of organized vigilantism is not only justified,

but the only way, and that we were wrong

to try and stop Wesley without violence.

You think he still wants us to join his team.

Or at least just live and let live.

Yeah, well, he blew that.

Hmm.

What is it?

I told you that, several weeks ago,

I reached out to several possible sources of help.

Well,

one of those sources has finally decided to respond.

Father.

Hello, son.

Joan.

It's always good to see you.

I apologize for not coming earlier,

but I assure you, I've given

a great measure of thought

to your Odin Reichenbach problem.

I take it, from your arrival, you think you can help?

I do. After all,

dismantling global criminal enterprises

is an area in which I have some expertise.

Shall we attack it together?

Parker Landis,

who was planning a mass botulism poisoning in Phoenix

when he was gunned down in a seeming act of road rage.

He's the last of Odin's sanctions that we were aware of,

apart from Wesley Conrad, of course.

And you've been unsuccessful in connecting Odin to any of these?

He's insulated himself too well.

Covered his tracks as skillfully as we would expect

the head of a global Internet platform.

As far as we know, the people committing the murders

don't know that he's the one giving the orders.

And even if they did, if Patrick Meers is any example,

they won't talk.

Do we have any reason to expect greater success

connecting him to this one,

this, uh, Wesley Conrad and his parents?

I've been to the crime scene, I examined everything.

It was the work of professionals, it was perfect.

I expect it to be harder to connect to him, not easier.

- Hmm. - Even if we had a murder

to pin on him, we don't know who to bring it to.

Odin has implied that he has friends

in almost every law enforcement agency in the world.

We don't know which organizations to trust.

Or how high his reach

in any one of them goes.

Luckily, that's where I believe I can help.

Reichenbach isn't the only one with friends in high places.

I'd venture to say that mine

are higher up the mountaintop than his.

You think you can make him vulnerable to a criminal charge?

Perhaps.

Although, it'll be a pointless exercise

unless we have a murder to charge him with when I do.

As it happens, I've been contemplating

a new way to identify one.

Not without risk.

But I think we agree

it's time we took some.

Now a good time?

You asked me to keep you updated

on the Wesley Conrad investigation.

And?

Fair winds or foul?

Everything's good.

Our man at the 64th precinct said

the investigation's running smoothly.

CSU found nothing to suggest

that our people were ever there.

This should close a murder-suicide

without a hitch.

And our other friends?

Any lingering doubts?

Joan Watson accompanied the detectives

when they interviewed the sister.

I am told she seemed satisfied.

They've been quiet since.

That's good. But there's something else?

New business.

Urgent?

It jumped to the head of the line pretty fast.

Name's Stewart Pringle.

Lives here in New York.

He's been writing furious posts about how his girlfriend

OD'd last night on prescription opioids.

Says he blames the drug manufacturer,

and he's gonna make them pay.

Their offices are in Sunset Park.

Mention a timeline?

No.

But he's already surfing for tips on homemade explosives.

This one's moving quickly.

Then we should move quickly, too.

I'll need to see some ID

with the credit card, Mr. Pringle.

Sure thing.

You, uh,

you a hunter, Mr. Pringle?

How'd you know?

I saw your gear.

Yeah, I got a cabin upstate.

Propane's to heat it.

Well, you be careful driving back up there.

And make sure you point that rifle away

from the tank when you shoot.

Bullet hits it,

maybe you don't have a cabin upstate anymore.

Wilson Kubiak, Joan Watson.

Mr. Kubiak works for a global security firm my father employs.

So you said that Stewart Pringle is one of your

online identities?

I've been spewing alarming rants on social networking

in Pringle's name since last night.

And now, if anyone wants to confirm it,

Stewart Pringle really bought a rifle,

a propane tank and the makings of a pipe bomb.

The idea is,

he plans to strap the pipe bomb to the tank.

Makes a big boom, lots of fire,

and as people evacuate the building,

Stewart picks them off with the rifle.

A tad overkill, perhaps.

But the idea was to grab Odin's attention.

So now we wait, and hope that Odin

sends someone to kill him?

It shouldn't be too long,

given how imminent I've made the attack seem.

I chose this particular identity

to reduce the variables as to where

Odin's vigilante might strike.

Pringle is ostensibly a virtual shut-in

who works from home.

Home being the address

associated with the license and credit card.

It's a safe house I maintain,

which is already being surveilled
