Cut to David McKuin, recognizing Layla's picture and knowing her full name. She came in to buy from him two weeks ago, and McKuin is shocked, shocked to learn of her death. Anyway, she bought $9,416,000 worth of diamonds when she was in. She wanted ten million, but McKuin didn't have them. Benson asks what Layla was going to do with the diamonds, and McKuin says it was for her work: "High-finance. I don't understand it." You and me both, buddy. Stabler's in his face: "And you don't ask questions when you can make a quick buck." McKuin resents that. Stabler tells him, "Then you'll really resent it when we file a stolen property inquiry." He and Benson basically threaten to make McKuin's life hell if he doesn't tell the truth about the reason for the diamond purchase, and goes to a file cabinet and shows them that it was definitely business. Layla paid with a corporate check. Benson asks for a copy of the check, and while McKuin is off kickin' it Xerox style, Stabler whispers, "If I were ripping off my company, I'd want this jeweler as my guy." Maybe that's what she was doing and someone else wanted a cut of the action, thinks my man. McKuin comes back with the copy, showing that the check is from Martin Global Fund, signed by Layla's supervisor, Sho-Ling Fu. Stabler asks McKuin to give the SVU a call if someone comes in trying to fence the diamonds. McKuin agrees to do so.

Stabler and Benson pulling up at a curb, Stabler on his cell phone with Munch: "Yeah, I got it -- a redhead and a brunette. Thanks for the razor-sharp description." Stabler tells Benson Martin has two beautiful girlfriends.

Cut to an office door marked "Sho-Ling Fu," where a woman's voice is saying, "We have many accounts, in many currencies." We now see the lovely Ms. Fu, who looks about as Sho-Ling Fu as I do. Which is to say, not at all. Ethnic, yeah. She's got me there. Anyway, Benson can't believe that she doesn't remember a check for nearly ten million dollars. Sho-Ling bobs her head snottily and informs our heroes that she "[signs] a transaction like that several times a week." Well, bully for you. When informed that this specific check was used to purchase diamonds, Sho-Ling tells the detectives, "Layla did some commodities hedging. Once in a while you take a delivery of actual goods." No, I don't know what she means either. Benson asks where the diamonds are. Sho-Ling is all snotty, "How would I know?" Benson takes a wild stab in the dark: "Because you're in charge of finances?" Good point. Stabler and his beautiful smoldering stare have had enough. "We're investigating a murder," he says. "Mr. Martin's office is where?" Sho-Ling loses her smirk in time to answer, "Down the hall. It's marked." Wow. Never would have thought of that. Stabler smiles and thanks her.
