Death and Other Details
I killed Keith Trubitsky.
You really want us to
believe you harpooned a dude
for yelling at you?
You did not catch the killer. You
only caught one of his followers.
Viktor Sams is an alias
for an international syndicate
that profits by corporate blackmail.
If his targets don't pay,
he sends them a message.
- [SIGHS]
- Okay, so you think my mom sent ya these?
You sent me the spy pics after
tryin' to set me up for murder!
I want you to sit there and
show them that I'm in charge.
We came here to close and you couldn't.
We have a deal.
All I ever wanted was for
people to take me seriously.
- They are experts.
- I want a divorce.
You wanted to know my deepest secret?
That sounds fuckin'
awful, but I still win.
Viktor Sams is everywhere and nowhere.
How does one keep an operation
as large as his so nimble?
It's his whole bloody operation.

Well, joining us tonight
is the upstart private eye who
solved the impossible crime.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Rufus Cotesworth.
[AUDIENCE CLAPPING]
Now Mr. Cotesworth,
how did you discover the necklace?
- Paint.
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
No, really.
For anyone who has applied
wallpaper to freshly painted walls,
you know you should
allow the paint to dry
for at least 30 days before
sticking anything to it.
- Right, ladies?
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Well, the palace had been
freshly painted, pristine,
except a patch was missing
from the back doorjamb.
Now, when pressed, the contessa's nanny
admitted she had taped over
the lock every Wednesday night,
so that her Belgian beau could sneak in.
Now that I had identified
the Belgian thief,
the real challenge was
how to retrieve the necklace
before he moved it
through the black market,
never to be seen again.
Fortunately, even great thieves
love one thing above all:
gossip.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
All it took was a few free
drinks and my ability to play dumb.
For you to accomplish what
Scotland Yard and MI5 couldn't.
- Hm.
- Ladies and gentlemen, Rufus Cotesworth,
and let me be the first to say,
the world's greatest detective.
His words, not mine.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING]
- Any advice for our would
-be sleuths out there?
Well there's only one thing
that separates a good
detective from a great one.
The truth.
The truth at all cost.

hours, bad ventilation.

Her baby lived six and a half days.

in the air at the factory.
Keeley blamed herself,
