Elementary

Previously on Elementary... How much heroin is that?

Oh, it's enough.

You said you, uh, you had

something you wished to discuss.

I'm moving out.

Of? The brownstone.

I-I need to get my own place. It's time.

For the sake of our partnership...

stay.

We will work this out.

I know we will.

I-I would like to see the apartment

as soon as possible.

Yes, one person.

Several days ago,

Mr. Sherrington made me an offer of employment.

He thought I could be of great assistance to MI6.

Was he acting on orders?

The offer came from me.

Well, in that case,

I'd very much like to take you up on it.

Joan, you look amazing.

One of these days, you're gonna have to tell me your secret.

You know there's no secret, Elana.

It's about living right.

Making smart decisions.

You changed your hair.

Yeah.

Do you like it?

Kind of needed a change.

Of course you did.

New look for a new life, right? Mm.

I mean, you're running a narcotics cartel now.

You have to look your best.

How long have we known each other now, Joan?

Six months? Let's see.

It would've been a few days after... your husband

was assassinated by members of the Otero cartel.

Right before you took over the business.

So, yes!

Six months sounds about right.

I know how crazy this is making you.

Trying to convince everyone

I'm some sort of mastermind?

But it's fiction. (Cell phone dings)

I know a few cops.

I'll bet you do.

And they are telling me

that you are embarrassing yourself.

I don't know.

I just think it's sad, that's all.

Oh. Well, then you'll be glad to know

that I finally figured it out.

I understand how the cartel is running now.

You forced all of your husband's key lieutenants out

and replaced them with women.

The one person you didn't replace was a man

who everyone thought was doing your books.

Isidro Beltran.

But then I realized the only reason

you kept him there was as a figurehead.

A distraction.

The actual bookkeeper is a woman named Karen Lloyd,

who lives in Connecticut.

She comes into the city every few weeks to, uh,

organize the cartel's finances.

Right now, she's staying

at a penthouse that you own on 57th Street.

That's the real reason I asked you to lunch.

I wanted you and your squad

of bodyguards away from there

so that my colleagues could pick her up without

any trouble.

According to this text I just received,

she's already talking deal.

Elana March.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent

and to refuse to answer questions.

This was the scene

when alleged "Country Club Capa"

Elana March was arrested last month.

Today, her legal dream team added yet another member.

But sources at the D.A.'s office...

Maybe I should come back later?

Oh. Sorry. It was a previous case.

So, your disappearing custom marble tile.

I reviewed your security footage.

I went back a few weeks from before the tiles were stolen.

And I noticed

the palettes under these boxes

are perfectly level.

No buckling at all, which means

they're carrying no weight.

The tiles weren't stolen because they never existed.

Danny.

Yes, your brother faked the orders.

And filled your warehouse with empty boxes.

He skimmed the money. He has a gambling problem.

Mm. I have to take this.

So, here's the full report.

And your bill. Yeah.

Don't kill him.

Just get him help, okay?

Thanks.

Hey, Marcus.

Is everything okay?

There's about to be a murder.

I'm gonna kill our star witness.

Karen wants to go over courthouse security... again.

Well, you told her that I went over

everything personally, right?

I told her. She's still freaking out.

I got to get her to the preliminary hearing.

But she won't leave until she's convinced

the courtroom is going to be safe. I hate to ask,

but can you come down here and hold her hand?

Yeah. I'll be right over.

Oh.

Uh, sorry. I, um,

I was gonna knock. I...

Have you seen a lizard?

Excuse me?

I'm Andrew Mittal.

Uh, Doug's brother, 6D.

Oh! He cooks with a lot of garlic

and plays a lot of Call of Duty?

Yeah, Doug's a-a primate.

But I'm-I'm house-sitting for him and I appear

to have misplaced his bearded dragon,

which is not good for anybody.

Um, well, I haven't seen it and I have a meeting.

But...

Ah, there he is.

How did you know he'd be in here?

I didn't.

But the pipes get warm and reptiles

like warm places, so...

I have a turtle.

Oh. Hey.

If there's anything I can do to thank you...

No. I really have to go.

But, um, you know what?

Here's my card if he goes missing again.

I'm really good at finding things.

There's nothing to worry about, Karen.

We're gonna keep you safe.

I'm sorry.

I sound like a crazy woman. No.

What you sound like is someone who understands how dangerous

Elana March is. Now, the good news is

you're not the only one.

Well, thank you for coming down here.

It's no trouble.

But we should get you to the courthouse.

We don't want to keep the judge waiting.

Palmer to all units.

The package is on its way.

So, I'll wrap up here and meet you at the courthouse.

You'll be there, too, right?

Yes, of course.

I know. That woman.

She's gonna ask me to adopt her, isn't she?

You've had worse roommates.

Well, yeah.

Six months and still no word, huh?

I'm sure MI6 is keeping him busy.

What's going on?

Something's happened!

We watched the elevator all the way down.

It never stopped.

They were alone in there.

How the hell did this happen?

Okay. For the 10,000th time, Karen Lloyd and Palmer

enter the elevator alone on the 21st floor.

The car makes no stops and arrives in the garage

31 seconds later, the exact amount of time

the manufacturer said it would take.

But the doors open, and both

Palmer and Lloyd have been shot.

The shooter had to have come in

through the access panel in the ceiling.

Only the panel has a built-in mechanism that prevents it

from opening when the elevator is in motion.

Yeah, but obviously somebody got on that elevator car.

Ballistics said the shooter was level with his victims.

Which means that our guy didn't just open the panel and fire.

He actually lowered himself into the car.

When you called last night, you said you might have a new lead.

Guy named Sosa?

Yeah, Romero.

He'd done this kind of work for Elana's husband before.

I heard rumors that she pulled him

back into the organization.

But as it turns out, he was at his niece's quinceaГ±era

at the time of the shootings.

Joan?

It's time.

We have been more than forthcoming

in this investigation, Captain.
