Complete story — includes the ending

After his Ponzi scheme is uncovered, hedge fund manager Donald Hauser is tortured for information before being killed. The woman who finds the body is a former sober client of Joan's. She refuses to allow Joan to reveal their relationship, hindering the investigation when her former drug dealer becomes the main suspect. The reporter who broke the news of Hauser's fraud is murdered the same way hours later and her laptop is stolen. Hauser turned over evidence to her that contained information about another crime. Later, the dealer's body is found in a dumpster behind an art gallery in which he is a silent partner. It turns out that Jacob Weiss, a client of Hauser's who runs a nonprofit recovering money for the heirs of Holocaust victims, was embezzling the funds. He used the gallery to launder the money. Hauser knew about it, but made the mistake of informing Weiss that he was going to reveal everything. Meanwhile, Sherlock becomes the sponsor of someone named Randy. Bell is offered a position with the Demographics Unit; if the nerve damage to his arm cannot be fixed, he will have to take a desk job.
