"Calleigh had me come down here, count them, and I put 'em back in the bin." "So maybe you accidentally walked out with the envelope." "Walter, what are you suggesting?" "Nothing." "The diamonds are missing," "I'm trying to jog your memory about where you..." "Walter, I put the envelopes back in the bin, and then I checked out with him." "He's right." "Unbelievable." "Somebody stole the stolen diamonds." "(siren wailing)" "H." "I see him." "So we have a hundred thousand in diamonds gone?" "On your watch." "But sir, I said the security cameras were down in this area of the lab." "Did it occur to you to get 'em fixed?" "I called Tech Services the moment they went down." "And what time was that, Officer?" "About 10:50, sir." "Wolfe reported the evidence missing at 11:17." "That's half an hour, Horatio." "I'm surprised the entire locker isn't emptied out." "(Simmons clears throat)" "H, if I may." "You know, those monitors at the jewelry store, they went haywire, too." "Hmm." "That's strange." "This shouldn't be turned on." "CAINE:" "How do you mean?" "I disconnected the battery before I processed it, and I left it that way." "Battery's still connected." "Yeah, I got eyes, pal." "Look, someone must have known this was in here." "And then they turned it on before they lifted the diamonds." "Who's the last person who touched the signal jammer?" "That's you, Mr. Simmons." "Horatio, I didn't do this." "I know you didn't, Walter." "Give me a minute, please." "Sir." "Thank you, Walter." "Horatio, I have to request that I handle this investigation." "This is my lab." "It's going to be my investigation." "As soon as I have the results," "I will share them with you." "Hey." "Got Joe Tepper's clothes from the morgue." "Tepper's the guy that Berkeley popped." "Yeah." "Let's see what we've got." "There's faint white rings under the bloodstain." "Looks like something splashed on there and then dried." "Look at that." "Looks like a memory card from a digital camera." "We can pop that in and see what spills out." "These were all taken by the thieves casing the jewelry store in the neighborhood." "And unfortunately, they didn't manage to take a picture of themselves." "Who's that?" "This is the manager opening the store in the morning." "Keep going." "This is the key of the display case." "Can you make a copy of a key from a photo?" "All you have to plug into the key code are the measurements of the teeth, and if these guys had a computer program that normalizes the size and the position, they could easily make a duplicate." "Well, then this is how they broke into the display cases." "Is it me, or does that photo look like it's taken through a window?" "Yeah, it does." "I wonder if it's from one of the offices across the courtyard." "Let's find out." "WOLFE:" "Yep." "This is it." "This is the perfect perspective to get a close-up on the keys." "So then it must have been taken from inside that office." "It's a real estate office." "You're kidding." "What's the name?" "Ben Rooney Properties." "Ryan, that's the name of our victim." "Maybe our victim wasn't so innocent, after all." "BOA VISTA:" "Miss Pennington, the owner told us that Ben was in the store every day last week." "Now, would you know why?" "I guess he was there to buy me an engagement ring." "Actually, we don't think so." "We believe that Ben was casing the store." "Casing?" "DUQUESNE:" "Ben was also taking pictures of the manager's keys, so that he could make duplicate copies." "I'm sorry, I-I don' understand this." "So... if Ben was one of them, why would they shoot him?" "Thieves will often turn on each other during a robber." "That way they get the extra share." "We also know that Ben was working with at least three other people." "Does this man look familiar to you at all?" "Or did you ever hear Ben talk about somebody named Joe Tepper?" "I-I don't know." "How well did you know Ben?" "I only knew him three weeks." "I went into his office to buy a condo." "Are you still showing houses today?" "Whoa." "Geez." "Oh." "Didn't see you." "Sorry." "Here you go." "Yeah." "My fault." "What kind of place are you looking for?" "Um..." "How about this one?" "(chuckles)" "Sold." "Mm." "Miss Pennington, is there something that you're not telling us?" "No." "DUQUESNE:" "You do realize that Ben probably knew his killers and anything you can tell us will help us find them?" "(voice breaking):" "I'm sorry." "I just..." "I guess I didn't know him at all." "We've got a splatter stain found on the jeans of Joe Tepper." "♪ ♪" "CAINE:" "Mr. Wolfe." "I got boric acid-- what's that used in?" "Uh, insecticide, flame retardant, metal casting." "Metal casting." "Diamonds were removed from their settings." "What kind of settings were they?" "Uh..." "They're all made of gold." "WOLFE:" "That's what they're using the boric acid for." "With the acid, gold goes liquid at 1,800 degrees." "Maybe it's not the diamonds." "Maybe it's the gold." "So, why are we talking to this Spano guy?" "He's been in lockup for the last two months." "The biggest fence in the city." "He will have information about who our thieves are and where our gold is going." "Have a seat, please." "Afternoon." "I understand you guys need me as a technical consultant." "So how does this affect my situation?" "Depends on how generous you are." "Okay." "So, whatcha got?" "We've got a jewelry store smash-and-grab, and they were only concerned about the gold." "They used boric acid." "Mm." "Very nice-- these boys know what they're doing, for sure." "So why just gold?" "Aren't diamonds worth more?" "Yes, sometimes, but in the heart, my friend, gold is the Golden Rule." "What happens when the economy tanks?" "Gold skyrockets." "You know, people trust it." "They can hold it in their hands, they can put it under their bed at night." "And with the current state of affairs, gold is up over $1,200 an ounce, amigo." "That is a better investment than Google." "So, who were your buyers, amigo?" "Ah-ah-ah." "Trick question." "I'm losing interest." "Who are they selling the gold to?" "Everyone buys gold." "You're not gonna find your boys through the buyers." "Gold can't be traced." "It doesn't have serial numbers, like diamonds." "You melt it down, it cannot be traced." "It's easier to move than heroin." "Well, these guys were pretty efficient." "They were in and out in less than 60 seconds." "You have any idea who they are?" "Thanks to you fine people, I've been out of the loop." "A man died in the store." "All right, I can tell you, this one job ain't enough;" "It takes a lot to make a score." "I suggest you widen your net, but..." "If I were you I'd do it fast, because once they have enough for a sale, they're gonna move on it" "ASAP." "And then..." "Poof." "Poof." "Speaking of which, take him." "That's it?" "What about me?" "(mutters)" "All right." "Well, now what?" "You heard the man, Jesse." "Let's widen our net." "Make a call to the Feds."

"You forget I was an FBI informant in this lab, and I know you've got to be wearing a wire." "I am." "It's off." "Thank you." "Is this about the diamonds?" "Yeah."

"When we were receiving evidence for trials things would be missing:" "Drugs, cash." "Small amounts." "We couldn't find where the leak was." "Until today." "Does Horatio know?" "Of course." "When were you gonna tell the rest of us?" "Or do you actually think that it is one of us?" "That's why I volunteered for this-- to protect you guys." "I'll filter the recordings."

"She said you showed her how to make them." "Is that why you brought me in here?" "Because you're jealous that your girlfriend still has something from the ex?"
