00:00:00I told you. You will find nothing. You will get nothing. Not now, not ever.
00:00:10It's gone. Buried. I won't have it staining my name, my legacy.
00:00:20You have me. I have tried to make amends. I've tried.
00:00:50No, seriously, Dad. I don't know why you ever signed me up for basketball.
00:00:58I believe you did that all by yourself.
00:01:00Well, why didn't you talk me out of it?
00:01:02As I recall, there was no talking you out of anything.
00:01:04Logan, we are sorry that your team didn't win, but you did your best. Now have some pizza. You'll feel better. Lemonade?
00:01:12Hey.
00:01:14I'm sorry, Dad. I'm just frustrated, you know? I mean, we have a decent team and all, we just can't get our offense in sync.
00:01:22Well, I'm sure the last thing you need right now is fatherly advice, so why don't we just sit here and enjoy the pizza?
00:01:28Lemonade?
00:01:29Oh, please.
00:01:32This looks delicious, honey. Is that a cinnamon and tomato sauce?
00:01:35Yes, with a little bit of garlic.
00:01:38Okay, go ahead.
00:01:42Delicious.
00:01:43Dad, I'm giving you an open lane here.
00:01:47Oh, all right. Well, in my experience, at some point, someone has to step up and be the team leader, and in my opinion, I think that should be you.
00:01:55Me? No, Dad.
00:01:57You're a good ball handler. You're a solid passer. You know how to run the court. And most importantly, you're smart. You are really smart.
00:02:06I'll bet you that next piece of pizza there that you almost know the game as well as your coach.
00:02:15Oh!
00:02:17Daddy takes it.
00:02:23You are really good with him, Jason.
00:02:25Yeah, I've been there.
00:02:27Why didn't your team win the league championship three years in a row?
00:02:31Yes, only to lose the state championship three years in a row.
00:02:34And back then, it was a more level playing field. I wasn't going up against six-foot-ten monsters who could 360 dunk.
00:02:41Like you said, Logan is smart. He'll figure it out. I'm just glad he has you to lean on.
00:02:50Who is it?
00:02:51Hannah. Hey, sweetheart, what's up?
00:02:53Mom, I know it's late and I hate to hit you up, but my debit card just maxed out again, and I've got study group going on here, and caffeine is, like, super critical at this juncture, and besides, it's my turn to buy the next round, so...
00:03:03Hannah, maybe a J-O-B is in order here. A job?
00:03:07There's got to be something I can find part-time.
00:03:09Never mind, Mom. I've got this.
00:03:11Love you.
00:03:12Love you, too.
00:03:13Bye.
00:03:14Oh, boy. Kids in crisis. Film at eleven.
00:03:17Well, hopefully we'll be in Dreamland by then.
00:03:29Rough night, Mr. Dwyer?
00:03:32We'll call it overtime. By the way, it's official.
00:03:41Alfreda Zane missed the deets. Deathbed confession would have been nice.
00:03:47Well, at least now I can start liquidating the rest of the estate. Who knows? Maybe we'll find it.
00:03:53Yes, well, buried treasure aside, the auction is still only two days off.
00:03:58We'll do a thorough sweep of the residence, photograph anything left of value, then we'll email an addendum list to all those who are SVP'd.
00:04:05Shall I start in the library?
00:04:07Absolutely. Pack up the entire room. I'm going to need some time to sift through all this.
00:04:11Yes, sir.
00:04:17We should get going. Where's your backpack?
00:04:19It's just upstairs.
00:04:21Go grab it.
00:04:23Oh, did you see this? Girl Deets passed away last night.
00:04:26Oh, no. Deets? Why do I know that name?
00:04:32The Deets Recital Hall. The one your dad spent two years of his life building.
00:04:36Oh, right.
00:04:37Not only did Mr. Deets fund it, he would follow me around and micromanage every detail. He was the ultimate perfectionist.
00:04:43He was also very generous. Danny and I are supposed to go to his estate sale later this week,
00:04:48and all the proceeds are going to the Deets Recital Hall fund or local music programs.
00:04:53How long has it been on the calendar?
00:04:54About a month.
00:04:55Shouldn't you be, like, officially dead before your estate gets auctioned off?
00:04:58Not if you're 92 and in family health.
00:05:00It's called getting your affairs in order.
00:05:02Anyway, the man was a friend, and he definitely made me a better builder. He'll be missed.
00:05:08Well, I am definitely going to be late if I don't get a move on.
00:05:12Great pancakes, Dad. Patent that recipe.
00:05:15Thank you. Maybe I will.
00:05:17What are you making for dinner?
00:05:23Whoa! Looks like someone sprinkled a little ambition in their morning coffee.
00:05:27Coffee and nudging from my damsel in distress.
00:05:33Well, my work here is done. You ladies have a nice day now.
00:05:39Um, I don't mean to break up the mood, but did you happen to sort through the bills?
00:05:43Yes, I put them in two piles. Pay now and pay later.
00:05:48Oh, pay later is rather large.
00:05:50That's what I thought.
00:05:51Oh, dear.
00:05:53Helen! So nice to see you.
00:05:55Good morning, Jennifer.
00:05:57A little bird told me you came across some pre-war dressed in china.
00:06:01Yes, that little bird was me.
00:06:03Well, thank you for the call, my dear.
00:06:05Shall I get it for you to look at? I'll be right back.
00:06:08By the way, did you hear Carl Deets passed away?
00:06:10Yes, I read about that in the paper.
00:06:13A fellow Berliner. Though I never much cared for the man.
00:06:17A bit stiff for a career diplomat, don't you think?
00:06:20I wouldn't know. We never met.
00:06:22Well, he did have excellent taste. I'll grant him that.
00:06:25Did you get a chance to look through his estate auction catalogue?
00:06:30There's this landscape painting on page two.
00:06:34Oh, right. Of course. The Casper David Friedrich.
00:06:38It's a bit pricey for us, but gorgeous.
00:06:40Jennifer, I can't shake the feeling that I saw this painting at our family home back in Germany.
00:06:48Really? Well, Helen, are you sure?
00:06:51Well, I can't be certain. I was only six when we fled East Berlin.
00:06:58But I do recall something quite similar hanging in an upstairs bedroom.
00:07:03Oh, this was after the war, of course. By then, everything had been destroyed, sold, lost.
00:07:10Helen, we can inquire about the painting's providence.
00:07:13Yes, that would be very helpful, my dear. But in the meantime, I am going to bid on it.
00:07:19Heaven knows mother and father would have.
00:07:25So, my math teacher, Mrs. Vellos, she hands us this really weird midterm assignment.
00:07:30She wants us to look at parts of our life that need improvement and use statistics to come up with a plan.
00:07:35Oh, that sounds interesting.
00:07:37Does that mean you're going to help?
00:07:38Oh, no. I'm done with high school.
00:07:40Dad?
00:07:41Oh, likewise. But remember what we talked about last night? Team leadership. Maybe with some stats in hand.
00:07:47And it could help form a game plan.
00:07:51Yeah, you're right.
00:07:53She got a job, now she's okay. Now she can afford a double latte.
00:07:58Oh, Hannah, that's wonderful.
00:08:00Student tutoring, 15 an hour. Can you believe that?
00:08:03Seriously?
00:08:04Mm-hmm.
00:08:05Congrats, when do you start?
00:08:06Tomorrow. I've been assigned a football player who has a ton of makeup work to get through.
00:08:10Football? What's his name?
00:08:12Rick Nason.
00:08:14Rick Nason?
00:08:15Mm-hmm.
00:08:16Hannah, he's the starting quarterback.
00:08:18Well, not for long if he doesn't get his act together. He's already on academic probation.
00:08:22Okay, Hannah, look at me. Rick Nason is carrying the entire football team, okay? You cannot let him fail.
00:08:28Logan, look at me. He's not going to fail.
00:08:31Okay, look at me. Let's eat.
00:08:40Gosh, I've never seen a red carpet at an estate auction before.
00:08:44I feel a little underdressed.
00:08:46Oh, there's Dean. Hey!
00:08:47Hi!
00:08:48Hey, Jen, Danny. Did you bring your checkbooks?
00:08:50We did, did you?
00:08:51Are you kidding me? Did Hyden wear a wig?
00:08:55He did.
00:08:58Hi, Alan.
00:09:00Hey.
00:09:04It's a good turnout.
00:09:06Yeah, it's a nice, fat commission in this offering. But a disappointment nonetheless.
00:09:12Sure. I went over every square inch of the Dietz's residence. I went through every drawer in his desk. I even pulled up the floorboards.
00:09:20I'm telling you, what you seek is what we've got.
00:09:23I'm telling you there's more, Dwyer. King's ransom tucked away somewhere, probably. Right underneath our noses.
00:09:35Otherwise, why would he be here?
00:09:39Jack Grenier. Keep an eye on him.
00:09:43Yes, sir.
00:09:51Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am your host and auctioneer, Conrad Siles.
00:09:58Now then, let us commence with the Kyle L. Dietz Charitable Estate Auction.
00:10:04Item number one, an exceptional Biedermeier armoire wardrobe in pure walnut, circa 1840.
00:10:13An exceptional Biedermeier armoire wardrobe in pure walnut, circa 1840.
00:10:21And we will start the bidding at $6,000. $6,500. Do I hear $7,000?
00:10:34$7,000. Do I hear $8,000?
00:10:38$8,000 going. Going. Sold. $7,000 to the gentleman with paddle number 44.
00:10:52Next up, a delightful landscape painting from a true master of romanticism, Caspar David Friedrich.
00:10:59That's it. That's the one. Are you sure, Helen?
00:11:03Yes. Now I'm certain.
00:11:05And we will start the bidding at $15,000.
00:11:08Oh, dear. I'm afraid I'm too old to take out a second mortgage.
00:11:25You break it, you still pay for it.
00:11:27Mmm. Conrad Sars Bagman, I presume. And what did you bring home from the war, Sergeant?
00:11:37The cashier. It's that way.
00:11:49We have an accepted standing bid of $30,000. Lot number two is now sold.
00:11:56I'm sorry, Helen.
00:12:06Well, look at that, Anne.
00:12:08Why, is that a Bastogne du Brat player piano?
00:12:10Yes, a 1910 to be exact. It's on the addendum list. Did you not get one?
00:12:14No.
00:12:15It was emailed to me last night.
00:12:17I didn't see one.
00:12:18It says it's in fair condition.
00:12:20Fair being code for barely functioning.
00:12:22Comes with six music rolls.
00:12:24You know, I know someone who would pay a fortune for this piano, once it's restored, of course.
00:12:30Hey, Helen, did you see this? Look.
00:12:32There's a pair of landscape paintings, Sunrise and Sunset.
00:12:35It said the artist comes from the Munich School.
00:12:37Mmm.
00:12:38Style could be reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich.
00:12:40Oh, my, that sounds interesting. And they're probably affordable.
00:12:45Are you in?
00:12:46I'm in.
00:12:47Are you in?
00:12:48I'm in.
00:12:49Next, a Veston du Brat piano.
00:12:53And we will start the bidding at 2,000.
00:12:552,000. 2,200.
00:12:58Come on.
00:13:00Well, I say we've earned some champagne.
00:13:03Helen got her Sunrise and Sunset paintings, and Dean got his viola,
00:13:07and Rags to Riches now owns Kaiser Wilhelm's piano.
00:13:10Well, nice drink to that.
00:13:13Happy auction day, everyone.
00:13:14Happy auction day, everyone.
00:13:15Auction day.
00:13:16Auction day.
00:13:17It doesn't look too bad.
00:13:19Some WD-40, some sandpaper, maybe a little duct tape.
00:13:23Oh, Dean, stop.
00:13:25Just give me about an hour to take a look at it and write up an estimate,
00:13:28factoring in the friends and family discount, of course.
00:13:32Excusez-moi. May I have a moment?
00:13:35My name is Jacques, and unfortunately I was not in the room when they presented this marvelous piano,
00:13:42and I never received the addendum list.
00:13:45So I would like to know if you would consider an offer.
00:13:49I could go up 20%.
00:13:52Well, thank you, but it's not for sale.
00:13:5425%.
00:13:56That's very generous, but I'm not selling.
00:13:59Madame, this is very important to me.
00:14:03Please say your price.
00:14:06The lady said no.
00:14:08Well, that is a real shame.
00:14:46Dean?
00:14:50Dean, you back there?
00:14:58Dean?
00:15:07Dean!
00:15:169-1-1, what's your emergency?
00:15:17Yes, operator, there's been an attack at 166 South Grove.
00:15:21The victim is unconscious. I need an ambulance right away.
00:15:36Frank, Dean is such a sweet guy. I don't know what would have provoked this kind of attack.
00:15:41It's most likely a robbery gone wrong.
00:15:44Let's see the till here.
00:15:49That's 500 or so dollars still left in the till.
00:15:52Strange. For a robbery.
00:15:55Hmm. These instruments seem to be pretty valuable.
00:16:04Jen?
00:16:05The piano. The front panels were yanked off.
00:16:09Yeah, Salem was probably looking for something. Money, drugs. We've seen stranger things.
00:16:13Frank, Dean and I were approached after the auction by a gentleman.
00:16:16He said his name was Jacques. Medium height, French accent.
00:16:19He wanted to buy the piano. When I declined his offer, he got very insistent.
00:16:24Dean had to intervene.
00:16:26Hmm. That definitely sounds like a motive.
00:16:28I take it he didn't give you his card?
00:16:30No. Oh, but I did see him place a winning bid on a Biedermeier dresser.
00:16:34Which means the auction house would have record of that purchase.
00:16:37Good. I'll follow up.
00:16:39In the meantime, I'm going to take a look around and see if anything else was taken.
00:16:46Frank?
00:16:47Hmm?
00:16:48There might be a guitar missing. Look right there. Slot G4.
00:16:53Okay. Alright. Let's see if Mr. Connick has any listed here on it.
00:17:01G3, G5, G4. It's a 1937 Martin D28 guitar. Sounds really expensive.
00:17:09A vintage Martin could be worth $8,000. Who's the owner?
00:17:13There's nothing else listed here except the initials HN. Does that ring a bell?
00:17:17No. Look, if you don't need me, I'm going to go to the hospital and see how Dean is doing.
00:17:22Okay. I'm going to stick around and look at the security footage on the cameras.
00:17:26It's too bad they didn't have a camera mounted in the back.
00:17:29Yeah. It is too bad.
00:17:35How's Mr. Connick, Frank?
00:17:37He's conscious, but he's still in ICU. This is the neurologist in charge. She said he's not ready for visitors yet.
00:17:44Okay. Thanks. Now, this man you mentioned, the one who approached you after the auction.
00:17:49Yes. Jacques.
00:17:51Okay. Well, I may have found something.
00:17:54Check this out.
00:17:56Martin guitar's still there. Slot G4.
00:17:58Yeah, I saw that. Here we go.
00:18:02That's him. That's Jacques.
00:18:04Are you sure?
00:18:05Yes.
00:18:06Okay. Well, you have a bonafide suspect. Just hope that Mr. Connick can ID him.
00:18:12Like a dog after a bone.
00:18:14Or a man after a piano.
00:18:16All right. Fifty-eight seconds off camera.
00:18:18You think that was enough time?
00:18:19What, enough time to knock out your friend, tear the panels off your piano, and do insurgencies?
00:18:24Yeah. Plenty of time.
00:18:26Question is, what was he looking for?
00:18:30All right. I'm going to fast forward a little bit here.
00:18:32There was one other person that came in before you arrived.
00:18:37Who was it?
00:18:38All right. I'm going to fast forward a little bit here.
00:18:41There was one other person that came in before you arrived.
00:18:45There he is. A rock and roller.
00:18:47Well, he looks familiar. H.N.
00:18:52You know what? I think that's Howie Nash. He's a local musician. Very popular among Hannah's crowd.
00:18:56Oh, FYI, he plays folk, not rock. I heard his CD. He's pretty good.
00:19:00Oh, yeah? He's a very bad thief.
00:19:03Oh, that's not good.
00:19:06How long was he off camera?
00:19:08Sixteen seconds. Still within the time frame. Still a suspect.
00:19:22Sherman, what are you doing? I didn't give the afternoon off. Let's go.
00:19:24I know, Coach. I know. I'm just crunching some data here.
00:19:27Yeah, did you know we're shooting a movie?
00:19:29Yeah, I know. I'm just crunching some data here.
00:19:31Yeah, did you know we're shooting almost 60% from the top of the key, but only 30% inside the paint?
00:19:35What are you, my statistician now?
00:19:36No, no. I'm just going over some math homework.
00:19:39Look, I was thinking, maybe we could work off some of these stats, you know?
00:19:43Design some new plays?
00:19:44Oh, yeah? I got a better idea.
00:19:46How about ten full court sprints?
00:19:50Let's go on the line. Ten sprints. Let's go. Hustle up.
00:19:53Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
00:19:56Come on, kid. We have you on tape at the crime scene.
00:19:59Stop with the third degree, man. Me and Dean, you have no idea.
00:20:03Okay. Well, enlighten me.
00:20:06Maybe I'll start with theft and then work my way up to assault. Or vice versa, whatever you...
00:20:11The Martin guitar is mine, okay?
00:20:14This right here is a prepaid receipt for new strings and fret repair.
00:20:20Mr. Connick is the only human on the planet that touched my D28.
00:20:23The man's a good friend. Been a mentor to me since I picked up a toy ukulele.
00:20:27Why would I want to hurt him?
00:20:29That's why you didn't call 9-1-1.
00:20:31Because I had no idea he'd been ruled, okay?
00:20:33I thought I could hear him moving around in the back there.
00:20:35And the door was shut. Music was on.
00:20:37He was in work mode.
00:20:39Well, then you knock.
00:20:40No, you don't knock.
00:20:42You can hear the door engine buzzer.
00:20:43If he's not there, when you walk in, you wait.
00:20:45It means he's busy.
00:20:47Could be holding a Stradivarius. You know what I'm saying?
00:20:49But you couldn't wait.
00:20:51I got a gig tonight. Are we done?
00:20:54I want to go by the hospital.
00:20:58You're wasting your time.
00:21:07Rick?
00:21:09Hey there. I don't think we've met.
00:21:11Hi, I'm Hannah, your new tutor.
00:21:14You're kidding.
00:21:16My coach said he'd handle this.
00:21:18My coach said he'd handle this.
00:21:20He did. That's why I'm here.
00:21:22You do know that academic probation can lead to team suspension, right?
00:21:26Anyway, I've visited all of your professors.
00:21:29And, wow, clearly we have a lot of mega work to get after.
00:21:32Yeah, well, I've got practice in a couple minutes.
00:21:34Well, I can meet you at the library right after.
00:21:36I'll see you tomorrow.
00:21:42So why wasn't I informed?
00:21:44You had no right to hold an estate sale to sell off my family heirlooms.
00:21:47I had every right, Ms. Turner.
00:21:49I have here a letter from my grandfather written to my mother Helga six months ago,
00:21:53assuring us that everything, and I mean everything in his estate, would be left to us.
00:21:57And I have here a legally binding contract
00:22:01signed by your late grandfather Carl Dietz eight weeks ago,
00:22:04giving me permission to appraise, catalog, and auction
00:22:07all items listed here within the net profits
00:22:10to be placed in his charitable trust.
00:22:13Two months ago? How convenient.
00:22:16Detective, ma'am, Mr. Siles is at the top of the stairs. He's expecting you.
00:22:24Hey, Jane, thanks for meeting me here.
00:22:26I figured you were an antique expert, so you should be able to speak Siles' language.
00:22:30Of course. Has Howie been cleared?
00:22:33For now.
00:22:35Well, clearly my contract supersedes your letter.
00:22:37Speaking of which, when was the last time you saw your grandfather?
00:22:40Nine? Ten years ago?
00:22:42How dare you?
00:22:43I'm sorry, your grief and concern is duly noted.
00:22:47And I have no doubt that you manipulated a sick, feeble old man.
00:22:51You'll be hearing from my attorney.
00:22:52Good evening, Ms. Turner.
00:22:54Detective, please, come in.
00:22:56Sorry about the spot of drama.
00:22:58Comes with the territory, I'm afraid.
00:23:00Sure.
00:23:02Now then, how may I be of assistance?
00:23:06Is that a Friedrich Eisenhoff?
00:23:08Oh, why, yes.
00:23:09Um, circa 1836.
00:23:14Huh?
00:23:15Miss...
00:23:16Oh, uh, Shannon. I love the von Hussle design.
00:23:19Oh.
00:23:20Jennifer owns an antique store in town, Rikester Ridges.
00:23:23Ah, yes, yes.
00:23:24Rumor has it you have the habit of unearthing a rare gem now and then.
00:23:28Well, I certainly unearthed one today.
00:23:31I'm the one who purchased Mr. Dietz's player piano.
00:23:34Oh, yes. Well, what a delightful and arcane instrument.
00:23:37Yes. Oh, of course, now I recognize you.
00:23:40And wasn't that, um, Dean Connick I saw you with?
00:23:44Actually, that's why we're here.
00:23:47Mr. Connick was assaulted this afternoon,
00:23:49shortly after transporting the player piano back to his shop.
00:23:52Oh, that is distressing.
00:23:53We have a witness.
00:23:57Same individual who placed the winning bid on the Biedermeier armoire.
00:24:01Also seems to have quite the zealous interest in Mrs. Shannon's piano.
00:24:06Says his name is Jacques.
00:24:09Vaguely recognized the face, detective.
00:24:13But I'm afraid I cannot help you.
00:24:15A gentleman, if you can call him that,
00:24:18left without the armoire and did not leave a check to place it on hold.
00:24:21Therefore, we have no record of him, I'm afraid.
00:24:24He wasn't on the invite list.
00:24:25No, but we often get crashers, and this one picked up a paddle and made a bid.
00:24:30Um, sorry, I couldn't be of more help, detective.
00:24:35And, Mrs. Shannon, please extend my heartfelt wishes to Mr. Connick
00:24:39for a full and complete recovery.
00:24:42Will do.
00:24:56Hey, hon.
00:24:57Oh, hey, sweetheart.
00:24:59I got your message about Dean.
00:25:01Any updates from him?
00:25:03Yes, he is still in ICU, but his MRI came back clear.
00:25:06Well, that's encouraging.
00:25:08Something smells good. What are you cooking?
00:25:10Oh, I'm trying that new delivery service that Danny keeps raving about.
00:25:13Oh, not the Don't Panic, it's Organic Express.
00:25:16Yes! Paneer vindaloo with eggplant.
00:25:20Oh, come on, where's your sense of adventure?
00:25:23I just go easy on the curry.
00:25:25Are you working on a new project?
00:25:27Actually, it's an old one.
00:25:28Those are the original blueprints from the Dietz recital hall.
00:25:31Thought I'd donate them, you know, maybe get them framed and hang them in the lobby.
00:25:35Would you like me to get them framed for you?
00:25:37That's a terrific idea.
00:25:39His granddaughter's putting on a memorial service in a couple of days.
00:25:43They've asked me to help plan it since I know every scrimmage in the place.
00:25:46And there's a rehearsal tomorrow, so maybe if you can drop by then.
00:25:50Oh, wow, a rush job.
00:25:52Oh, wow, I'm on it.
00:25:56Hey, Jason, this isn't your handwriting.
00:25:59Those are Mr. Dietz's notes and adjustments.
00:26:02That's why I wanted to donate the prints.
00:26:04Like I said, the man was a perfectionist.
00:26:06He even brought his own people in to do the acoustics, the stage flooring, VIP seats.
00:26:13What?
00:26:17Well, I was just thinking.
00:26:19Someone went to great lengths to search Karl Dietz's piano.
00:26:22They were even willing to hurt Dietz.
00:26:24Makes you wonder, did Karl Dietz die from something other than a heart attack?
00:26:28Jan, don't overthink this.
00:26:31Mr. Dietz had a history of heart trouble.
00:26:33He was in home hospice.
00:26:34Yes, but that wouldn't necessarily remove him from harm's way, would it?
00:26:47Tell me, Mr. Dwyer, how up are you on your philosophers?
00:26:51I've read a little Nietzsche, a little bit of Marcus Aurelius.
00:26:55I take it you've never heard of Yang Tzu?
00:26:58Fourth century, Chinese.
00:27:00Believed in a everything-for-myself outlook.
00:27:03Is there a point to this, sir?
00:27:06Not a point.
00:27:08A revelation.
00:27:11Tucked among the volumes in Dietz's library.
00:27:16A missing link to a missing fortune, perhaps?
00:27:19Outstanding.
00:27:21So, what have you found?
00:27:23Patience. I've just started sifting through it all, and my German is a little rusty.
00:27:27But I did find a note.
00:27:31A personal reminder regarding the two Munich school paintings we found hanging behind his desk.
00:27:36The sunrise and sunset landscapes.
00:27:39Yes.
00:27:40He asked for them to be moved to the vault for safekeeping.
00:27:45Fortunately, he never got around to it before his health took a turn for the worse.
00:27:49Unfortunately, I just sold them off at auction.
00:27:54And you think they may contain a clue to this vault?
00:27:58All I know is, Karl Dietz kept his secrets very close.
00:28:03Perhaps hanging on a wall behind his desk.
00:28:06So, who owns the paintings now?
00:28:09Mrs. Helen Bauer.
00:28:14How's that?
00:28:15Perfect.
00:28:16Thanks.
00:28:17Why don't you come on in? We're just finalizing some details.
00:28:19Okay.
00:28:23So, after the Mendelssohn octet, we'll have the musicians leave with their chairs, and then we'll finish with the Mozart Fantasia. Agreed?
00:28:29Okay, wonderful. Thank you, everyone.
00:28:31Carolyn.
00:28:32Yes?
00:28:33Hey. I want to introduce you to my wife, Jennifer.
00:28:35Jen, this is Carolyn, Karl Dietz's granddaughter.
00:28:38It's nice to formally meet you.
00:28:40We crossed paths at the auction house earlier.
00:28:43I'm so sorry you had to witness my little temper tantrum there.
00:28:45It's bad timing, I'm afraid.
00:28:47Oh, excuse me. The backstage door's warped. I gotta make sure they fix the lock.
00:28:51It's always something.
00:28:53Oh my gosh, he's been such a help.
00:28:55Well, he worked very closely with your grandfather building this place.
00:28:59I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:29:01So, I take it you had no idea there was going to be an estate auction?
00:29:04No. None whatsoever.
00:29:06I've been overseas on assignment these past few months. I'm a crisis manager with the CDC.
00:29:11Oh, wow. A real humanitarian.
00:29:14I mean, it can be rewarding. And exhausting.
00:29:19But, um, yeah, I'm still working through a lot of the guilt and regret over not being able to get back before my grandpa died.
00:29:27He didn't treat my mother very well when I was growing up.
00:29:30I called him out on it, and that was that. He cut us both off.
00:29:34I'm sorry.
00:29:36About six months ago, my mom told me that grandpa wanted to reinstate us in the will, and she gave me a letter to that effect, from him.
00:29:42Really?
00:29:43Uh, my mom. She passed away a few months ago while I was overseas, and then grandpa's health declined, and that's when Conrad Stiles swooped in.
00:29:53He's a professional vulture, that man.
00:29:56I'm sorry, I don't mean to have bent.
00:29:58Oh, it's perfectly alright. I figure I'll just leave it to the lawyers to sort it out.
00:30:04Well, I'm very sorry that you're having to go through this, but if it's any consolation, your grandfather meant a great deal to this community.
00:30:11And I think it's lovely that you're honoring his memory and his contributions.
00:30:18Now, if I could just do something about my nerves, I have volunteered to play the Mozart Fantasia in D minor.
00:30:24Oh, my!
00:30:26Yeah, it was my grandpa's favorite. He taught it to my mother and then to me.
00:30:30I am sure you will be fine.
00:30:33I should really get back to work. I'll see you at the memorial.
00:30:36Of course you will.
00:30:42Well, to be honest, I can understand Carolyn's frustration.
00:30:45Do you think Stiles might have manipulated Dietz into an estate auction?
00:30:49My lawyer certainly thinks so.
00:30:51The department was just notified that he's preparing to file charges against Stiles for defrauding the grandfather out of what she considers her rightful inheritance.
00:31:00I've already drawn up a list of items, assets from the estate.
00:31:03Piano included?
00:31:05Piano included.
00:31:07I also expressed her displeasure at the department for not releasing Dietz's body yet.
00:31:12And you haven't because?
00:31:14Because there are questions, which I don't care to comment on.
00:31:19Well, the paper said he died of heart failure.
00:31:21Cardiac arrest, according to Dr. Trammell, was triggered by an embolism.
00:31:27I mean, Jen, come on, the guy was almost 100 years old.
00:31:3092.
00:31:31Close enough.
00:31:33Let's turn the page here for a second.
00:31:35I went and paid your friend a visit, Mr. Connick.
00:31:39According to him, he was clubbed from behind, so that's why I didn't see the assailant.
00:31:43It's a little strange to me, considering the sight lines of the door.
00:31:46So I had one of my tech guys go over there and check out the rear window of the shop and, well, according to the evidence, it was jimmied.
00:31:54So the attacker had an entry and exit point.
00:31:57Yes, which leaves me at a dead end until I find Jacques.
00:32:02Who left through the front door?
00:32:04Probably because he noticed the surveillance cameras, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have walked around to the back.
00:32:09So we have Jacques at the auction, looking for something inside the Biedermeyer dresser.
00:32:13He doesn't find it, so he chucks it.
00:32:15Then he sets his sights on your piano.
00:32:17Then she tracks down at Dean's shop, has a look-see.
00:32:21Not a very thorough one.
00:32:22Well, either he found what he's looking for or someone spooked him.
00:32:26Maybe it was Howie.
00:32:27He said Dean's workshop door was closed when he got there and he thought he heard someone moving around inside.
00:32:32Which he assumed was Mr. Connick.
00:32:33But it might have been Jacques.
00:32:35This attack had a goal, a purpose.
00:32:38And all clues seem to lead to Carl Dietz's piano.
00:32:42Oh, excuse me. Can I get a slice of mud pie for my friend?
00:32:48You didn't say I wanted a mud pie.
00:32:50You didn't say you did.
00:33:04Welcome to Rags to Riches.
00:33:08It's a nice shop. Very charming.
00:33:12Didn't I see you at the auction the other day?
00:33:15Oui. I'm here about the piano.
00:33:17Ah, the piano. The piano isn't actually for sale.
00:33:21Well, I will take a look anyway.
00:33:23Oh.
00:33:27Hello, Rags to Riches.
00:33:29Oh, hey, Danny. Has the piano arrived yet?
00:33:31May we?
00:33:32Yes, we have a customer looking at it right now.
00:33:35It's Jacques, isn't it? He's there.
00:33:37Oui.
00:33:38Yes.
00:33:39Yeah, you got it, sister.
00:33:40Dispatch?
00:33:41Any available unit at 9179 Main Street ASAP.
00:33:45Danny, remain calm. Frank is on his way there and the police are en route.
00:33:48Oh, that's wonderful news.
00:33:51I would like to see the piano bench.
00:33:53There's a music score, madame.
00:33:55Ah.
00:33:56Oh, Drew. Oh, Drew, I'm so happy to see you.
00:33:59Oh, I told you I'd be dropping off the new light fixtures.
00:34:01Uh, Drew, this is Jacques. He's interested in the pianos.
00:34:04Oh, bonjour, Jacques. Hey, let's start it up.
00:34:06Where'd you put those music rolls? They're in the piano bench, right?
00:34:09Let's go get them.
00:34:10I'm sorry. I forgot to have another appointment.
00:34:12Perhaps some other time.
00:34:15My travel bag?
00:34:16Oh, just a minute.
00:34:20Hm.
00:34:21You're quite the world traveler, huh, Mr. Grenier?
00:34:23Well, for now, in our zip code, at least.
00:34:25You're facing felony assault.
00:34:28Well, I have not assaulted anyone.
00:34:30Well, we have surveillance cameras.
00:34:32I'm sure you're aware of that.
00:34:34I'm not.
00:34:35I'm not.
00:34:36I'm not.
00:34:37I'm not.
00:34:38I'm not.
00:34:39I'm not.
00:34:40I'm not.
00:34:41I'm not.
00:34:42I'm not.
00:34:43I'm not.
00:34:44Well, we have surveillance footage of you confronting Mr. Connick before he wound up in the ICU.
00:34:48We also have witnesses who can testify to your keen interest in the player piano that was at his shop.
00:34:54The one that was slightly damaged after the attack.
00:34:57I merely inquired about the piano.
00:34:59Yes, uh, three times on my last count.
00:35:02It must hold deep sentimental value to you.
00:35:05As I said, if I could, would you use my travel bag?
00:35:09Ah, here it is.
00:35:11Merci, monsieur.
00:35:22What do we have here?
00:35:24A Reta 9 mil.
00:35:26My service weapon.
00:35:28And what service would that be?
00:35:30European Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
00:35:33My permit and ID are also in the bag.
00:35:44EMCA, huh?
00:35:47So what brings you here, Inspector?
00:35:50Besides an old armoire and a player piano?
00:35:54Carl Deeds.
00:35:55I've been pursuing him for a very long time.
00:35:58Why?
00:35:59You call it, uh, restitution.
00:36:02Well, you're a little late for that.
00:36:05The man is dead.
00:36:07Right.
00:36:08Now, if only the dead could talk.
00:36:10What does that mean?
00:36:12What does that mean?
00:36:13It is my turn now, Detective.
00:36:15Tell me, what do you know about the late Carl Deeds?
00:36:19All right.
00:36:20German-born.
00:36:22Worked as a diplomatic liaison for NATO.
00:36:24Retired out here about 20 years ago.
00:36:26He's a friend of the mayor.
00:36:28And he's a very generous benefactor of the community.
00:36:31Underwriting the local recital hall, the orchestra.
00:36:34Yes, yes, I'm sure he's a true patron of the arts.
00:36:37I detect a note of sarcasm there.
00:36:40This man you speak of, this, uh, retired diplomat,
00:36:45this magnanimous benefactor,
00:36:48is a masquerade.
00:36:50A reinvention.
00:36:52The Carl Deeds I know is someone else entirely.
00:36:57Someone who took full advantage of the dire situation
00:37:01that followed the war in Germany.
00:37:04Could you be a little more specific?
00:37:06He abused the powers and privileges bestowed upon him,
00:37:10and for that, he will atone.
00:37:13Even from the grave.
00:37:15Now, Detective,
00:37:18tell me, do I need to contact an attorney?
00:37:28Oh, just let me know if you need any help.
00:37:31The Bastogne.
00:37:33It's here.
00:37:36Yes, we just got that at an estate auction.
00:37:40Are you familiar with the Bastogne du Brat model?
00:37:43Very familiar.
00:37:45This was my grandfather's. He taught me how to play on it.
00:37:48Mr. Deeds was your grandfather?
00:37:50Yes.
00:37:52Sorry, I'm Carolyn, Carolyn Turner.
00:37:55I met Jennifer at the memorial rehearsal.
00:37:57Oh, I'm Dani, I'm her partner.
00:37:59Oh, great. I'm actually here because I need an appraisal
00:38:02on some of the items from the Deeds estate auction,
00:38:05including this piano.
00:38:08It's very nice of you.
00:38:10A bit awkward.
00:38:12Awkward, yes.
00:38:15And regrettable.
00:38:22You again. What's this?
00:38:24My letter of resignation as your tutor.
00:38:26Paragraph two cites your lack of cooperation,
00:38:28violating your academic probation,
00:38:30so have fun warming the bench.
00:38:33I don't have to come down so heavy here.
00:38:35I don't want to.
00:38:37But if you're not willing to help yourself...
00:38:39Look, for me, I lose a paycheck.
00:38:41So what?
00:38:43But for you, your team, there's a whole lot more at stake here.
00:38:57You okay, hon?
00:38:59Oh, yeah.
00:39:01I was thinking, if we lived until we were 92,
00:39:06how many grandkids do you think we'll have?
00:39:08I have no idea.
00:39:11Did Carl Deeds ever talk about his family?
00:39:14No, I didn't know he had a family until with Carolyn.
00:39:17Maybe they didn't heal that family rift.
00:39:20Well...
00:39:25We are not going to let that happen here.
00:39:28We're going to stay connected.
00:39:30We're going to stay close.
00:39:32And whatever we have at the end of the journey,
00:39:35it's going to stay in the family.
00:39:37Deal.
00:39:39Deal.
00:39:41Hello?
00:39:43Helen, are you okay?
00:39:45Oh, no.
00:39:47Are the police there?
00:39:49Well, that's good.
00:39:51What? No.
00:39:53No, it's no trouble.
00:39:55Okay.
00:39:57It's Helen Bauer. Someone broke into her house.
00:39:59She's not there, but I think she could use some hand-holding.
00:40:02Of course. Go.
00:40:05I was in bed
00:40:07when my dog Mimi heard a commotion,
00:40:10ran downstairs, bit the thief,
00:40:13and ran him off, but not before he did some damage.
00:40:17Helen, was anything taken?
00:40:19Not that I know of.
00:40:21Where is the sunset painting?
00:40:23Oh, it's tucked behind the couch.
00:40:25I was going to hang it tomorrow.
00:40:30Okay.
00:40:42Frank?
00:40:44Can I see the back of that for a second?
00:40:46Sure.
00:40:52The canvas stretcher on the sunset painting is thicker than this one.
00:40:55Can we take this out of the frame?
00:40:57Yeah, let's see. Let's check it out.
00:41:04There's a whole other painting in here.
00:41:13I think this is a Hermann Herzog.
00:41:17An original Hermann Herzog.
00:41:20And if it is original,
00:41:22this painting is worth ten times
00:41:24what Helen paid for these other two paintings.
00:41:31What do you think?
00:41:33Well, I mean, you would have to take it to a professional
00:41:36to get it authenticated,
00:41:38but given the linen canvas, the layers of paint,
00:41:40and the signature of the artist,
00:41:42I think it's a genuine Hermann Herzog.
00:41:45I'm surprised Conrad Siles never caught this.
00:41:48But then again, not everyone has your eye.
00:41:52Frank, these paintings came from the Dietz estate.
00:41:55If anyone knew a masterpiece was being concealed, it would be...
00:41:58Karl Dietz. And obviously someone else as well.
00:42:01What about that Caspar David Friedrich painting?
00:42:05You ask me?
00:42:07I think that auctioneer is up to no good.
00:42:17Bonjour, Sergeant.
00:42:19We want Jacques.
00:42:21I was the same thing as you.
00:42:23Everything that Karl Dietz neglected to place on the auction table.
00:42:27Missing art,
00:42:29missing antiquities,
00:42:31missing jewels.
00:42:33Oh, come, Sergeant.
00:42:35Our interests here could be benefited mutually, no?
00:42:38Unless you prefer to continue being the minion
00:42:41of that charlatan, Conrad Siles.
00:42:45Well, think about it.
00:42:48A bientot, Sergeant.
00:44:10Find anything new, sir?
00:44:12I have here a letter written by Dietz's daughter Helga
00:44:16a little more than three months ago, shortly before her passing.
00:44:20She outright rejects her father's offer to reconcile their differences
00:44:24or to have her or her daughter Caroline reinstated in his will.
00:44:29That certainly heads off any lawsuit coming your way.
00:44:32Yes, indeed. But there's more.
00:44:35She says here, and I quote,
00:44:38I do not want your precious piano
00:44:41and I will not have Caroline made liable for your ill-gotten gains.
00:44:45If you had any integrity left at all, you will make amends
00:44:48and offer restitution to those you have wronged.
00:44:51Then maybe we can all die in peace.
00:44:59It's the best-owned abroad player piano, Dwyer.
00:45:02It must contain the key to Dietz's hidden vault.
00:45:05That's why Jacques René broke into Dean Connick's shop.
00:45:08Makes sense.
00:45:10Yes, but now he's wanted by the police, which gives us the advantage.
00:45:14Are you suggesting liberating another item?
00:45:17You have a problem with that?
00:45:19No, sir.
00:45:21I believe you'll find the piano in a shop called Rags to Riches.
00:45:26By the way, how's the arm?
00:45:28Could probably use a few stitches.
00:45:30Yes, we'll see to it.
00:45:32I want this taken care of as quickly as possible, Dwyer.
00:45:35We've already missed one opportunity here. Do not fail.
00:45:38No, sir.
00:45:50It's a good find.
00:45:52How can we be certain it belonged to Dietz?
00:45:54Well, it was found in his piano bench.
00:45:56The contents are written in German and it's Dietz's handwriting.
00:45:59I compared some notes that he scribbled onto Jason's recital hall blueprints.
00:46:02Okay. I'm convinced.
00:46:08Gee, all the dates, places.
00:46:12Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig.
00:46:15And names. Some of them famous artists.
00:46:18Goya, Menzel, Delacroix. Oh, and look here.
00:46:22Casper, David Friedrich and Hermann Herzog.
00:46:26So this is what Jacques was after.
00:46:29Why did you say so, Inspector?
00:46:32Frank, what's wrong?
00:46:34Jacques? He lied to me, Jen.
00:46:36I found out that he's actually ex-EMCA.
00:46:39He had been fired over a year ago for using excessive force on suspects connected to an art theft case.
00:46:45Specifically, the Karl Dietz case.
00:46:47However, I did find out that he was recently hired by the Stolen Art Recovery League.
00:46:54Ever heard of them?
00:46:55Yes, they were formed towards the end of World War II.
00:46:58They're responsible for recovering hundreds of lost and stolen artworks.
00:47:02Who knows? Maybe he used them as a cover for his own agenda.
00:47:07What I do know is I don't trust the guy.
00:47:10Nor have I been able to locate him again.
00:47:13Good news. We have both the Herzog and Friedrich paintings logged in here.
00:47:19So that gives me due cause to get a search warrant for the Siles auction records.
00:47:46That's probably what's gonna happen.
00:47:48Hmm. Friendly.
00:48:00Sorry for the early hour, Mr. Dwyer.
00:48:02I called, rang the bell, no answer.
00:48:05Well, Mr. Siles is a heavy sleeper.
00:48:07Especially after a couple glasses of port.
00:48:10What's this about, sir?
00:48:14I have a warrant, signed by Judge Mallory,
00:48:17to search all records pertaining to the Dietz estate auction.
00:48:22You'll find everything is in order.
00:48:34Mr. Siles!
00:48:38Mr. Siles!
00:48:40Call it in.
00:48:44Do you have a permit for that gun?
00:48:46Arms out, away from your sides.
00:48:55Something wrong with your arm there, Mr. Dwyer?
00:48:57That's just some tendinitis.
00:48:59You wouldn't mind rolling up your sleeve.
00:49:01Hmm.
00:49:10Hmm.
00:49:11Meet any dogs lately?
00:49:16Cuff him.
00:49:18Cuff him.
00:49:30Got ahold of your military jacket here, Sergeant.
00:49:33Let's have a look.
00:49:36Four tours in Iraq.
00:49:39But a special detachment charge was securing and protecting high-value art and antiques in combat zones.
00:49:46That's why Mr. Siles hired you.
00:49:48I didn't kill him.
00:49:49Well, we'll let ballistics weigh in on that.
00:49:51You are wasting your time.
00:49:54I hear that a lot.
00:49:56For the record, where were you last night?
00:49:58Besides the Eastside Urgent Care Clinic.
00:50:01Yeah, I have the treatment summary right here.
00:50:05Hmm. Really glad you got that dog bite taken care of.
00:50:09Anyway, last night?
00:50:11I had a beer.
00:50:13Petey's Tavern.
00:50:15Oh, yes. The local Marine Corps watering hole.
00:50:19You've read me my rights.
00:50:21When do I get my phone call?
00:50:23Just a few more questions.
00:50:26Did Carl Dates ever ask your boss to handle any artwork of questionable providence?
00:50:31Not that I'm aware of.
00:50:33What was inside the empty letterbox?
00:50:35I'm guessing letters.
00:50:38Belonging to Dates or Siles?
00:50:40No idea.
00:50:41Hmm.
00:50:42Here's my guess.
00:50:44They belong to Dates.
00:50:47Something had to clue your boss in as to the whereabouts of the Herzog painting.
00:50:52How else would he have known to ask you to steal it back?
00:50:58Lawyer.
00:51:00Right.
00:51:02Thought so.
00:51:08So, I've been suspended. Happy now?
00:51:11No.
00:51:12You know, it's not too late to turn your situation around.
00:51:15I have your schedule here,
00:51:17and I noticed that you have an hour between two of your morning classes
00:51:21and an hour between two of your afternoon classes.
00:51:24As well as an hour lunch break.
00:51:26That gives us at least three hours a day to work together and get you back up to speed.
00:51:31I have given you my game plan.
00:51:33What's yours?
00:51:41Wait.
00:51:44You sure you can stand me for three hours a day?
00:51:48As long as they're paying me.
00:52:02Dr. Tramiel.
00:52:03Ah, Jennifer. I got your text.
00:52:05Oh, thank you.
00:52:06Sorry, I only have a minute.
00:52:07Busy day, people just dying to get in here.
00:52:10So, who are we visiting today?
00:52:13Conrad Stiles.
00:52:14Oh, going once, going twice, and...
00:52:23Two close-range gunshot wounds.
00:52:25That's personal, isn't it?
00:52:27Well, you can read into it however you like.
00:52:29And you can check with ballistics if you want specifics.
00:52:31They got the bullets.
00:52:33Anything else?
00:52:34Carl Dietz.
00:52:35Detective Linwood said you concluded he died from cardiac arrest.
00:52:39Oh, pulmonary embolism has been known to trigger such things.
00:52:42Even in elderly people with chronic heart failure?
00:52:44Why not?
00:52:46Then why are you holding on to the body?
00:52:48Oh, you are a crafty one. Sorry, time's up.
00:52:53Oh, just two more questions.
00:52:54I'm assuming you have a copy of Carl Dietz's hospital records.
00:52:58Yes. One down, one to go.
00:53:00Would you mind telling me who he put down for his emergency contact?
00:53:03Jennifer, shame on you. That would be a violation of doctor-patient confidentiality.
00:53:07Even if the patient is dead?
00:53:09Touché.
00:53:10Mr. Dietz's emergency contact was, uh...
00:53:14What do you know?
00:53:16Conrad Siles.
00:53:19All right. You win.
00:53:21I am holding on to Mr. Dietz's body because I'm still nagged by the fact that his ventricular assist machine didn't sound the alarm sooner.
00:53:29This is a digital readout of his cardiogram and O2 sat readings recorded at the time in question.
00:53:39See how his heart rate moved sharply into a-fib here?
00:53:43And that's probably when the embolism struck.
00:53:45When did the alarm go off?
00:53:46Here. Eighteen seconds later.
00:53:49Which suggests that there was a glitch in the machinery.
00:53:53Or perhaps sabotage.
00:53:54Oh, you just had to go there.
00:53:57Well, the alarms on these machines can be switched on and off, right?
00:54:00No.
00:54:01Just saying.
00:54:06Hey, Frank. What's up?
00:54:08Hey, Jen. I thought you should know the ballistics reports came back.
00:54:12Mars Barretta is not a match for the bullets that killed Siles.
00:54:15Well, you can still charge him with the break-in at Helen's, right?
00:54:18Yes, I'm confident we can get an indictment there once the lab finishes processing all the key evidence.
00:54:23Bad news? Quartermain bail.
00:54:26Oh, no.
00:54:27I'm afraid so.
00:54:28So, the screenshots you sent me?
00:54:33The logos match.
00:54:35It means that Dietz was an officer in the East German security service.
00:54:40I had thought after my interview with Jacques that maybe Dietz was a cop before he was a diplomat.
00:54:45Maybe a corrupt cop.
00:54:46Jacques said Dietz abused the power and privilege that was bestowed upon him.
00:54:51It could be.
00:54:53I mean, at the very least, you know, Dietz's journal appears to be a log for stolen artifacts.
00:54:59It's just so hard to believe after everything he's done for the community.
00:55:02Yeah, I know.
00:55:05How's the research going on the Herzog painting?
00:55:07Well, according to the Stolen Arts Recovery League, it went missing soon after the war.
00:55:10Interesting.
00:55:11And then there's Mrs. Bowers' claim regarding the Casper David Friedrich provenance.
00:55:16You know what? I'm going to find a German translator to break all this down.
00:55:20Frank, there's something bothering me about Dietz's death and the timing of all of this.
00:55:25Would you mind if I took a look around his house?
00:55:35Okay, don't touch anything.
00:55:37What, am I new?
00:55:40You know what? The IV pump had three lines.
00:55:44One for saline, one for abrobidine, I think that's how you say it, and dopamine for pain.
00:55:52Where did you say the nurse's call button was found?
00:55:56Um, beside the bed, right next to a syringe wrapper and an end cap.
00:56:04On the table there, there's three syringes, one of them used in CPR, a Heparin injection.
00:56:12Was the wrapper a match to the one on the floor?
00:56:15Let's see, you've got a photo here.
00:56:25That's interesting. A generic wrapper.
00:56:30Hey Frank, take a look at this. Looks like there's a puncture mark on this tube.
00:56:39Circular, very clean. Looks like it could have been done by a needle.
00:56:48Okay, this is just a theory, but could someone have come in and turned off the alarm?
00:56:53And given Mr. Dietz an unscheduled injection?
00:56:56Dr. Trammell said it was a pulmonary embolism that triggered cardiac arrest.
00:57:00If what you're saying is true, we're not just talking about a heart failure, we're looking at premeditated murder.
00:57:07You
00:57:25Bonjour, Mrs. Shannon.
00:57:27Inspector Grenier.
00:57:29How did you get in here?
00:57:31There is a front door.
00:57:33Which was locked.
00:57:34Was it? If so, not very well.
00:57:37My friend, Detective Linwood, is looking for you.
00:57:39I'm sure. I understand you have recovered a Herzog painting.
00:57:44I do have my sources.
00:57:46Through the EMCA, right?
00:57:48I have my sources too.
00:57:50Well, I would very much like to finish my examining of your Veston piano and the music scroll.
00:57:57See you play it.
00:57:59Why?
00:58:00It pertains to a case I'm working on.
00:58:02A case involving the late Carl Dietz?
00:58:05It was his piano. Stands to reason.
00:58:08And I think you know more than you are letting on.
00:58:11I know that Mr. Dietz was a former East German policeman.
00:58:15How corrupt was he, Jacques?
00:58:17The man betrayed everyone in his path, including members of his criminal organization.
00:58:23Now, may I?
00:58:27I would feel better if Detective Linwood was here.
00:58:30I have him on speed dial. We can make an appointment.
00:58:32I'm sorry, but I prefer to pursue this investigation on my own.
00:58:36And I would prefer it if Detective Linwood were here.
00:58:49So Jacques is still around, huh?
00:58:51Still on the hunt.
00:58:53You have to know where he's staying.
00:58:55No, but I got the make, model and license plate of his rental car.
00:58:59Very well done.
00:59:02By the way, our CTs found evidence that the ground floor window of the auction house had been jimmied.
00:59:09From there, the assailant would have made their way up to Siles' study.
00:59:13I think we're looking at a real pro here.
00:59:15Not to mention a killer.
00:59:17Speaking of, Dr. Tramiel has now changed the cause of death for Carl Dietz.
00:59:23He's now saying that the embolism was purposely induced by an air bubble, most likely by a wide-bore syringe.
00:59:30A double homicide on my hands.
00:59:34Very unhappy, Mayor.
00:59:42Guys, we need to feed off from the top of the key.
00:59:45And cross-court pass to the corners.
00:59:47Hey, hey, hey, what in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here?
00:59:51Uh, they're just helping me with my homework, Coach.
00:59:54Your homework?
00:59:55Yes, sir.
00:59:56This is a statistical analysis of all their shooting percentages and best passing lanes.
01:00:01And you took it upon yourself to work up some new plays?
01:00:04Based on these stats here?
01:00:06Yes.
01:00:10I like what I'm seeing here.
01:00:12But give me the whistle.
01:00:13Give me.
01:00:17All right, guys, run the play. Let me see it. Let's go.
01:00:21Let's go.
01:00:23Hey, hey, come on, come on.
01:00:25She was so good. Jason, you did an incredible job with this place.
01:00:55I forgot how much I love the theater.
01:00:57Do you remember when we were seniors and I was the lighting designer and the stage manager?
01:01:01Hello, do you remember that kiss we shared in the catwalk?
01:01:03I knew you'd go there.
01:01:05You guys, I'll meet you outside. I'm just going to talk to Carolyn.
01:01:12Carolyn, I just wanted to say that that was wonderful. Such a beautiful performance.
01:01:18And I know this might not be the right time or place, but I'd like to talk to you about the piano that you bought at the auction.
01:01:23Yes, my partner, Danny, did mention that.
01:01:25I'm sorry. It's been a really emotional time, and I don't know how else to say this, but I'd like to get back some of my family heirlooms, especially that piano.
01:01:32I'm willing to make a very fair offer.
01:01:34Well, as you know, I did promise the piano to a client, but let me call him and see what I can do.
01:01:41That would mean so much to me. Thank you.
01:01:43Of course. Your grandfather would be proud.
01:01:54You want your inheritance?
01:01:58I can help.
01:02:00What is this?
01:02:01I have information. You have information. We could partner up.
01:02:07I don't know what you're talking about.
01:02:10Just give that to him.
01:02:12Miss Turner.
01:02:13Yes.
01:02:14Detective Linwood. I got your voicemail.
01:02:16Thank you for seeing me.
01:02:17Yeah, no problem. So you had a run-in with Mr. Dwyer at the recital hall.
01:02:22I read in the papers this morning that his boss was found murdered. Should I be concerned?
01:02:27I've already called the police.
01:02:28I don't know what you're talking about.
01:02:31So you had a run-in with Mr. Dwyer at the recital hall.
01:02:34I read in the papers this morning that his boss was found murdered. Should I be concerned?
01:02:39I've already contacted his attorney about the altercation you two had. He's being issued a summons.
01:02:44I'm beginning to think it's time for me to get back to my job at the CDC, Detective.
01:02:48Battling plague outbreaks seems a lot safer than sticking around here.
01:02:51All right. Well, we're on it. Not to worry.
01:02:55Here, take this.
01:02:58Hey, Jim. Thanks for calling back.
01:03:00It seems that Dwyer has been stalking Dietz's granddaughter. She filed a restraining order.
01:03:05Oh, no. What happened to Jacques?
01:03:09A slippery Frenchman. I don't know what to make of the guy.
01:03:13On the one hand, he lied to me, and on the other hand, he actually checks out.
01:03:18In fact, I just received an official request from the Stolen Art Recovery League to hand over the Herzog painting to him.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26Yes.
01:03:28Ashley, you know, I gotta go.
01:03:30Okay, I'll talk to you later.
01:03:31Okay.
01:03:33So, Helen will be by to pick up the dress tomorrow, and I tucked Jason's blueprints down there.
01:03:39Oh, thank you.
01:03:41What's wrong with this picture? Why am I not hearing music?
01:03:44Gene! Oh, it's so good to see you.
01:03:48How about some Brahms? The perfect antidote for a migraine.
01:03:51Oh, I would like you to meet my chauffeur slash virtuoso caregiver, Howie Nash.
01:03:56I think his bedside guitar picking has worked miracles.
01:04:01Nice to meet you, Howie.
01:04:02Gene, shouldn't you be home, though, taking it easy?
01:04:05And what do you know about that?
01:04:07Touché.
01:04:08So, does it work?
01:04:11Well, it did at auction, but I haven't tried it since it was vandalized at your store.
01:04:16Brahms, was it?
01:04:17Always a good place to start.
01:04:18Oh, you know, I'm a little partial to Mozart.
01:04:20Fantasia in D minor, if you don't mind.
01:04:22Let me do that for you.
01:04:23Oh, thank you. It's right there on the left.
01:04:29You see prongs on each side of the window there?
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:35It should pop right in.
01:04:43Oh, so that's how you do it.
01:04:45So that's how you do it.
01:04:46Boy, we had that really wrong.
01:04:48Yeah, really wrong.
01:04:50And the switch is right below the keyboard to your right.
01:04:54All set.
01:04:58Oh, what is that?
01:05:00Oh, there's fragile people here.
01:05:05Huh.
01:05:06Maybe I put it in wrong.
01:05:07Do you mind if I take a look at that for a second?
01:05:11Dean, look at this.
01:05:13The Mozart looks like it's on different paper stock.
01:05:15Oh, it's definitely newer paper.
01:05:17Maybe a few years old, as opposed to the Brahms, which is yellowed with time.
01:05:20Could it be from a different piano, maybe? A newer model?
01:05:23Possibly.
01:05:24But why would the rolls be in with these?
01:05:27This was Dietz's favorite piece.
01:05:29He taught it to his daughter, his granddaughter.
01:05:31I think this is here for a reason.
01:05:33A mystery wrapped up in Mozart.
01:05:36You've got a lot to learn.
01:05:39Dean, I better get you home.
01:05:40What?
01:05:41Oh, come on, things are just starting to get interesting.
01:05:43I promised your doctors.
01:05:45Say so long.
01:05:46So long, everyone.
01:05:48Dean, I'm glad you're doing well.
01:05:50So am I.
01:05:51We're out of here.
01:05:52Bye.
01:05:54Listen, I'm going to take off too.
01:05:56We have dinner reservations.
01:05:57Are you okay to lock up?
01:05:58I am fine. You have fun.
01:05:59Okay.
01:06:09Hey, Jen.
01:06:10Hey, guys. What a nice surprise.
01:06:12We thought we'd stop by before the big game.
01:06:14Oh, that's right. Good luck, Logan.
01:06:16Oh, you won't need any luck.
01:06:18According to Coach Byers, Logan's come up with a winning game plan.
01:06:22Yeah. Tell me that after the final buzzer.
01:06:24Oh.
01:06:26What's this?
01:06:28Well, it's supposed to be Mozart's Fantasia in D minor,
01:06:32but it turns out it's just a bunch of noise.
01:06:34You want to hear it?
01:06:35I'm fairly certain there's a code embedded in here.
01:06:38I just don't know how to figure it out.
01:06:40Do you have any other authentic rules of music?
01:06:42I do. I have a piece by Brahms.
01:06:44Well, then print off the Brahms sheet music off the internet
01:06:47and, you know, mark down the correct notes alongside each perforation.
01:06:51And that way I can cross-reference to see which note each perforation represents.
01:06:57Logan, you are a genius.
01:06:59What if the piece is written in D minor?
01:07:01Well, then D would represent the number 1 and E the number 2.
01:07:05You know, so on and so forth.
01:07:07What about sharps and flats?
01:07:08It could be letters.
01:07:11D sharp could represent the letter A.
01:07:14Or maybe it's the first sharp or flat after D minor.
01:07:17I don't know. You'll have to play with it.
01:07:19And we have a game to play, so we should go.
01:07:21Right. So, good luck, Mama.
01:07:23Good luck to you too, Logan, and just have fun.
01:07:26Hannah. Hey, Hannah. You did it.
01:07:29I got a B.
01:07:31You did it, Rick.
01:07:33High five.
01:07:56Buzzer
01:08:05Logan.
01:08:07Brilliant. Well done.
01:08:09Thank you, sir.
01:08:10You got yourself quite the strategist here, Mr. Shannon.
01:08:12You told me I know it.
01:08:16What'd I tell you?
01:08:18You stepped up, and you're the right person to do it.
01:08:21Thanks for the encouragement, Dad.
01:08:23And all the support. It means a lot.
01:08:25Anytime, son.
01:08:27Now go on. I'm waiting with the guys.
01:08:30Whoo!
01:08:34Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
01:08:37Whoo!
01:08:42Sharps, flats.
01:08:44That comes before D minor.
01:08:46I think that's a C.
01:08:54Frank, Dwyer just broke into my store.
01:08:57Mr. Dwyer, I've called the police.
01:08:59Frank, are you there?
01:09:01I'm still here, Jen. Units are about a block away.
01:09:03I'll be arriving shortly.
01:09:15You have an all-points out on Dwyer now,
01:09:17and I'm gonna keep a patrol unit here at your shop.
01:09:19Do you want one at your residence?
01:09:21Absolutely. Thanks, Frank.
01:09:24Yeah, no problem.
01:09:25Hey, I hear congratulations are in order.
01:09:27Oh, yeah. Logan's team won their first game.
01:09:29Hey, we'll give it my best.
01:09:30I will.
01:09:38Crack it yet, Mom?
01:09:40I hope so. I think I'm getting close,
01:09:42but there could be three lines of code.
01:09:44You see these two columns that are vertical right here?
01:09:46They're the only two grouped together on the entire roll,
01:09:49and the numbers in the letters, they match up perfectly.
01:09:51Hmm. Both alphanumeric.
01:09:56Wait. Those look just like GPS coordinates.
01:09:59You think?
01:10:01Hold on.
01:10:10Yep. See?
01:10:13Logan, that's Deet's recital hall.
01:10:16This is incredible.
01:10:18Do you have any idea what Deet's numbers might be?
01:10:21Well, it's not longitude or latitude.
01:10:24There's not enough digits there.
01:10:26So, uh, yeah, I haven't got a clue.
01:10:29Sorry, Mom.
01:10:30That's okay, Logan. You have been a big help.
01:10:32I'm gonna grab your dad's set of blueprints from my store,
01:10:34and I'm gonna call Frank. Thank you.
01:10:43Hi.
01:10:45Hi. Hi.
01:10:46Hi.
01:10:49Frank, I'm on my way to the recital hall.
01:10:51I hope you can meet me there.
01:11:15Bonjour, Miss Shannon.
01:11:17We meet again.
01:11:19So we do.
01:11:20The Herzog painting. Where is it?
01:11:23Safely in the hands of the Austrian consulate.
01:11:26Soon to be returned to its rightful heir.
01:11:28A Jewish family from Vienna.
01:11:30His parents had it taken from them during the Anschluss of 1938.
01:11:34That's good news.
01:11:37So what are you doing here, besides stalking me?
01:11:40Stalking? No, madame.
01:11:42I am merely here to offer assistance.
01:11:45You see, Carl Dietz was not the only one.
01:11:48To keep a journal?
01:11:50Detective Linwood indicated to my superiors that you found his journal,
01:11:56so I thought now would be a good time to compare notes.
01:11:59Do any of these names or dates, artists, look familiar?
01:12:06Goya.
01:12:07Menzel.
01:12:11You knew about the Casper David Friedrich?
01:12:14Well, I did not just merely sit behind the desk at the EMCA for all those years.
01:12:21Now, what brought you here with your husband's blueprints?
01:12:28Of course.
01:12:30It's perfect. The recital hall.
01:12:33And Dietz helped to make it.
01:12:35And the piano? Did the piano have a map?
01:12:39A code in a piano roll.
01:12:43Mozart's Fantasia in D minor.
01:12:46I knew it! I knew it!
01:12:48Let me show you.
01:12:50This is the data entry. These are shipping and crating services.
01:12:54Cargo container ID numbers.
01:12:56I traced them all back to a time when Carl Dietz was a NATO liaison.
01:13:00You see, his diplomatic status allowed him to bypass US customs.
01:13:04I believe he used his privilege to smuggle art and stolen jewels out of Germany into this country, piece by piece.
01:13:12So that's how he did it.
01:13:14Yes. However, a few years ago, the EMCA received an anonymous tip,
01:13:18which I believe came from Dietz's daughter, Helga.
01:13:21But before the FBI could file a search warrant,
01:13:24Dietz hid his stolen goods.
01:13:27But where?
01:13:29That was always the mystery.
01:13:31Now, Mozart in D minor directed you here.
01:13:38I think the lock on this stage door might be broken.
01:13:41Follow me.
01:13:43Let's go.
01:14:00I guess Jason fixed the lock.
01:14:02Well, he is efficient.
01:14:04Allow me, madame, sometimes to catch a thief.
01:14:09You have to play the thief.
01:14:14Voila.
01:14:25This first set of numbers.
01:14:29It's too short to be a tracking number or a zip code.
01:14:36There has to be some correlation to the recital hall.
01:14:41Chuck, my husband said that Carl Dietz had his own specialist
01:14:45who did the acoustics, the stage flooring, and the VIP seats.
01:14:52Here's Carl Dietz's chair.
01:14:54B-9.
01:14:56S-L-R-1. B-9, of course. It's stage left, row 1, B-9.
01:15:01We have a match.
01:15:04There is an electrical conduit running under each seat.
01:15:08Perhaps it's just for the light.
01:15:10Wait a minute.
01:15:12It looks like there might be a switch down here.
01:15:23It's locked.
01:15:25It's locked.
01:15:27It's locked.
01:15:30Ah.
01:15:42Voila, madame.
01:15:51Carl Dietz's vault.
01:15:53At last.
01:15:55Bless you, Miss Shannon.
01:15:57Our words cannot express how I feel.
01:15:59You must understand, this is what my life, what my work is all about.
01:16:05Restitution.
01:16:07Oui.
01:16:09Restitution.
01:16:16Wait a minute.
01:16:22Oh, here it is.
01:16:24The original Mozart Fantasia in D minor,
01:16:28which confirms that Carl Dietz manufactured the other one.
01:16:32Oh, wait a minute.
01:16:36It's Carolyn.
01:16:38Carolyn. She had to have known.
01:16:40That's why she's been on me to buy back the Vestone.
01:16:43Actually,
01:16:45I've always hated that wheezing excuse for a piano.
01:16:49But thanks to you, Jennifer,
01:16:52I now have my inheritance.
01:16:55Which you assumed was yours all along, didn't you?
01:16:59I mean, you had a letter from your grandfather to your mother,
01:17:04informing her that you had been reinstated in his will.
01:17:11But after your mother died, after you returned from overseas,
01:17:16you suddenly found out that things had changed.
01:17:20That your mother and grandfather didn't heal their rift.
01:17:24And that your grandfather decided to sell his estate for charity,
01:17:27leaving you cut off once again.
01:17:29Yes?
01:17:34What's he doing?
01:17:37Who are you?
01:17:42You're haunting me to the grave, you and all the others.
01:17:47So you decided to retaliate.
01:17:50And you ended his life.
01:17:51He was a horrible man who had outlived his usefulness.
01:17:55And you had what you needed.
01:17:57His letter to your mother,
01:17:59and the clue to his hidden treasure.
01:18:01The player piano.
01:18:03Which is why you broke into my friend's shop and assaulted him.
01:18:08No!
01:18:17But your search was cut short when Howie Nash arrived.
01:18:20You had to get out of there in a hurry.
01:18:24Then things became more urgent when you learned the Herzog painting had been found,
01:18:27tucked away inside a relatively worthless piece of art.
01:18:30Yes, well, according to Mother, Grandpa was a very clever smuggler.
01:18:33You mean criminal.
01:18:34Do I look like I care?
01:18:36But Jacques is right, things did get much more urgent because you realized that Siles
01:18:41had secured everything in your grandfather's library, including his personal correspondence.
01:18:47I believe there was another letter, from your mother to your grandfather.
01:18:50One in which he outright rejected his offer of an inheritance.
01:18:54Now you're just speculating.
01:18:56Am I?
01:18:57Then why weren't you listed as next of kin on his hospital papers?
01:19:02Your mother wanted nothing to do with your grandfather.
01:19:05And the irony is she was trying to protect you from his crimes.
01:19:09But when you realized Siles had her letter,
01:19:13well, you couldn't afford to let him expose that.
01:19:22Collateral damage, I'm afraid.
01:19:25As are you.
01:19:26Shut the hatch.
01:19:36All right, let's go.
01:19:37Stage right, if you will.
01:19:39Come on, go.
01:19:40May I ask you what led you to the Mozart in D minor?
01:19:43Mother's letter to Grandpa.
01:19:45Thanks for cracking the code, by the way.
01:19:47Your mother was the one who contacted the MCAS.
01:19:49Yes.
01:19:51She was the one who wanted everything returned to its rightful owner.
01:19:53Mother always had a wayward sense of morality.
01:19:55Where's yours, Miss Turner?
01:20:05I don't know.
