No, you can't do that.

[Marino over tape recorder] So why

She, um...

Just had this way about her.

Like, so much on her mind.

[Marino] Did you two meet in a class
or some kind of extracurricular club?

You ask about his christening, too?

I mean, you had to see the guy, Doc.

I mean, it was a total,
almost lighthearted demeanor shift,

not the broken-up softy that you saw.

[Petersen] We met at a party.

Lori was always sort of a loner

but with this intense, like...

purpose.

What kind of party was it?

Casual. College.

I was leaving when she was coming in.

Her voice.

- [chuckles]
- [snaps fingers]

It just...

It stopped me in my tracks.

Contralto.

Beautiful.

You notice a thing like that, huh?

Its actual tone was perfection.

And, uh, was it ever

in Lori's habit to be, um...

friendly to strangers?

If someone were to come by the house,

um, say a delivery man,

- would she ask him in?
- No.

Lori understood the dangers
of living in the city.

She worked in the E.R.

In light of which,
I'd think she'd be careful about, uh,

keeping the windows locked.

She probably thought it was locked.

Right. Because you accidentally left
the window unlocked last weekend

when you came and replaced the screen.

She hated it when I left.

Something make you want
to be an actor, Matt?

I studied drama to get in touch
with human emotions.

Needs, impulses.

The good and the bad.

Had to study drama to do that?

Wasn't he a fag?

The guy is off.

You don't start doing speeches from plays
after seeing your wife butchered

unless you're a sociopath.

And I did look it up--

Tennessee Williams was a fag.

Please don't use that word
in my presence. Ever.

I will not have it.

He forced her to choke herself.

Over and over.

How can you connect a husband killing
his wife to the first three murders?

Who knows?

Maybe she was the goddamn point all along.

And those killings were, what,
just to throw us off track?

Look, Petersen gives me the willies, okay?

I took him in.

- I got a whole suspect kit--
- Look, we're looking for a killer

who gets off on the killing,
not a man trying to get rid of his wife.

Then I guess
I'll just take the fingerprints

down to Nelly Cho's office myself.

Yeah, you do that.

[somber music playing]

[Scarpetta] Manner of death's homicide.

Mechanism is exsanguination, period.

Cause of death is
sharp force injury to the neck,

period.

The head wound, though significant,
was not the cause.

Perhaps to incapacitate her,

period.

The contused and lacerated area
of her scalp

is approximately four inches in diameter,

period.

The weapon would have
to be hard and smooth,

flat-bottomed,
with a broad roundish surface, period.

Dr. Scarpetta?

Yes?

Marvelous how you've kept your figure
all these years.

What do you need, Maggie?

Uh, Officer Ryan just called.

There's a situation
that requires your assistance.

Is it about the Jane Doe
at the railroad tracks?

I've left the address right there.

Is it about Jane Doe?

What a terrible thing
to be called "Jane Doe."

All my years here, they always
struck me as the saddest of them all.

Maggie, is it about the Jane Doe?

Oh, yes.

Marvelous.

I agree. Interracial mix

It don't happen, period.

Unless the killer
is rapidly decompensating.

- [Marino] Whatever the fuck that means.
- It means he's losing his mind.

You guys always fight like this?

VICAP yokes a Bureau profiler

Yeah, so we can learn about serial killers
and psycho-twaddle

and they can get tougher,
funnier and handsomer.

How does Lori Petersen
affect your profile?

[Benton] This guy...

he's someone you might not look at twice.

Well-functioning,
probably has some type of menial job.

A construction worker...

- Like an all-average, all-American joe?
- [Benton] Labor-related occupation,

I suppose.
But above average in intelligence.

- [Marino] How shocking.
- [Benton] No, the best part

for him is the antecedent phase,

the fantasy plan--
right after he becomes aware of her.

When he's fueled by obsession.

Yeah, my sense is he's a sadist.

You don't break
a surgeon's fingers by accident.

Or a violinist's.

[Benton] I'm sure he entertained
violent sexual fantasies

long before he made them reality.

It started, him just looking in windows...

Seeing the women. Watching them.

Wanting to see them hurt.

Next he rapes.
Each rape gets more violent.

Maybe needing more violence
each time just to get him off.

Or rape is no longer the motive.
Murder is.

And when murder no longer satisfies?

He gets more sadistic.

- A taste for torture.
- How does he find them?

Why them?

Not for nothing, but Matt Petersen,
our PhD candidate

who's too brilliant to be our killer?

He's a non-secreter-- yeah,
no blood type in his jizz either.

This is the husband
of the most recent victim?

Mm-hmm.

You can't hold back information,
Pete, it's not playing fair.

Well, he wasn't a plumber,
so I didn't want to push.

Well, Ted Bundy happened to study law.

Who's to say our killer isn't a student,
or dare I say, an educated actor--

Christ, if that's not oxymoronic,
I don't know what the fuck is.

You'll get to understand him.

Yeah, well, sometimes it gets exhausting.

Understanding men.

Yeah, I mean, look, we screw up here,

next Friday another woman could die.

And I can't have him
jumping to conclusions.

Matt Petersen worries me
if I'm being honest, Dr. Scarpetta.

Okay.

You can call me Kay.

Okay. Okay, Kay.

[laughs] Okay.

Do I want to know what that's for?

Uh, no. No, you don't.

Cho found partials
on the wife's body that match Petersen.

Looks like our very own Ted Bundy

- ♪ Tanti auguri a te! ♪

- Oh, my God.
- ♪ Tanti auguri a te! ♪

♪ Tanti auguri a Lucy ♪

[Marino] Benton just got here in time.

♪ Tanti auguri a te! ♪

- [Dorothy whooping]
- [Marino] Happy birthday!

- [Scarpetta] Happy birthday.
- Make a wish.

- There it is.
- Yeah.

- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.

Thanks. Thanks, guys.
This is so, so nice.

- Thank you.
- Happy birthday, Lulu.

Come here.

- Give your mom a hug.
- That looks good.

- How was your day? Mm?
- Mm.

Mm. You smell good.

I don't. Dorothy said I stink.

How was the meeting?

Well, sort of like a surprise
"welcome back to the FBI...

Mm-hmm.

...stale bagel, fruit cup" kind of deal.

How'd that feel?

As you'd expect, I guess.

Did you remember to bring my purse
downstairs?

Yeah, I put it right there.

But did you remember to
put my Chanel lip gloss in it?

- I don't know what that is.
- [laughs]

This is what it is.

Okay. Okay, honey.

- Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Oh.

He doesn't like PDA.

Oh, my God, Mom,
can you just give it a rest?

- Jesus.
- [Dorothy] Give what a rest?

Lucy, why are you such a prude?

I mean, you're gay.

[chuckles]

[whispers] I'm gay, guys. I'm gay.

You know what?
If you don't look out,

- you're gonna end up like one of those...
- Thank you.

- ...Grey Gardens recluses living here...
- [phone ringing]

...with your auntie in this big house

until the end of time.

You really need
to get a handle on yourself.

[Lucy] Mm, get a handle on myself how?

- Move out, Lucy.
- Oh, God.

- Move out. What?
- Dorothy. Come on.

And get a place of your own.

Uh, uh, you had talked about wanting
to do a P.I. business with my Peter here.

Hey-o.

- Yeah, we talked about it. Uh-huh.
- Right?

Or, I mean, you could always
go back to the FBI.

- They seem to always be hiring.
- [Scarpetta] Okay.

Well, we'd be glad to have you, Lucy.

Thanks, B. Look, there's nothing wrong
with me living here.

- I'm not--
- And by the way, I made enough money

by the time I was 13 to never work again.

So if I'm living here,
it's because I want to.

I'm not saying there's
anything wrong with it,

I just think that it might be serving
as a reminder

of the very thing you need to get over.

- You mean Janet? My wife?
- No.

- Grief, baby.
- [Scarpetta] Okay, Dorothy...

- That's what you need to get over.
- Well, good luck to me

being the first to ever recover from it.

Dorothy, can I see you
in the kitchen, please?

- All right?
- Sweetheart, cynicism

will only get you so far.

- Can I see you?
- Yeah, well, I'd say the same thing

about bullshit, but you are clearly
living proof that that is not the case.

- Oh, tough talk, daughter o'mine.
- Dorothy. I need to speak to you

- in the kitchen.
- I'll be right there.

Watch it.

- [Scarpetta] Now!
- [Dorothy] I'm coming.

I'm coming.

- God. What?
- What are you doing?

- What?
- What in the fucking hell are you--

Turn those earrings off.

- What?
- Why are you picking at her?

Hmm? Why?

Why? I mean, if she's happy here,

- why do you want to take--
- Oh, does she look happy to you?

Anyone who has lost their wife
in the last year isn't happy.

Okay, but how many of them
are still talking to their dead spouses

- all day long as if they were alive?
- Right, and that's my fault?

Is that what you're saying? Okay,
so you're blaming me for that, are you?

- Yes! Yes!
- No.

- Sei troppo indulgente con lei.
- Stop it.

- You are so easy on her.
- I am not easy on her.

- You are!
- No, I'm not.

You-you can't say no to her.

So that's a bad thing,
is that what you're saying?

- Yes.
- Why?

- If we're speaking honestly...
- Honestly?

- Yes. I think she was better off...
- Hon-- Okay, what? What?

- No. [muttering]
- What? What?

- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm.
- What? What?

What? Say it. Say it. What?

- What?
- I think she was better off

before you came back.

- How fucking dare you. How dare you.
- Oh, what fucking dare I, what?

- Care about my daughter?
- How dare you. Your daughter?

- Yeah, she's my daughter, Kay. Not yours.
- Oh, yeah. You didn't raise her.

- You didn't pay attention to her.
- Oh, I know. Okay.

You only bothered with her
when it suited you.

Listen, I'm here now in her
greatest moment of need.

You're here. And as soon as
you don't feel like being here,

you will be gone.
You'll be gone.

And that's why I'm here.

Because I have to pick up the pieces...

- Oh, right, 'cause you're a saint.
- ...like I've always done.

- You're Saint Kay. You're a fucking hero!
- Because that's what I have to do.

- I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this.
- Oh, I know you sacrificed your work

and your-your life
for your sister's only child.

And you are a vain, shallow,
male-addicted narcissist

who's never seen a cock
or a mirror that you didn't like.

Shit.

- Shit. Shit.
- Well,

- I would rather be me, cock and all...
- [sighs] Shit.

...than some joyless,
cold-hearted scientific cunt like you!

- I will fucking deck you!
- Stop!

- You're blowing up.
- Come on. Come on.

- [sighs]
- Kay.

- Okay.
- Right.

[dramatic music playing]

[Merlin meows]

Okay. All right.

[Benton] Here.

Tell Lucy, tell Lucy I'm sorry.

- Of course. Sure.
- I did not want to do that to her today.

- It's okay.
- I just... [sputters]

All right. This is a shit show.

- Yeah.
- This is a shit show.

Let me tell you, it's a shit show...

- Okay...
- ...in the making.

I'm taking you.

What? You're not gonna stay here
with your lovely wife?

Shh, shh, shh. You got, you know,
rain in the forecast,

bad treads, you drive an antique car.
Just-- I'm gonna take you.

- I'm taking you.
- [stammers]

So I'm stuck here with his lovely wife?

I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

Hey. Hey!

- [Marino] Shh!
- [Scarpetta] No, you shush!

♪ ♪

[Scarpetta] All right.
Colonial Landing Condos.

Yep, you told me.
[clears throat]

Am I bad for Lucy?

- No, I mean...
- No, tell me, honestly.

Do you think I'm bad for her?

I think that Lucy is who
she is because of you.

No, that doesn't help me.

Do you think, do you think
she shouldn't be living with me?

Oh, come on, I don't think it matters
where the fuck she lives

as long as she's talking to AI Janet
all day long.

[exhales] Yeah, but if you tell her not
to do it, she just wants to do it more.

She's been like that since she was a baby.

Yeah, but you've also never
been able to say no to her.

[growls softly]

- I will ignore that.
- What do you want me to do, sit here

- and not tell you the truth?
- Okay. Okay, okay. I just--

I'm so fucked.

I'm telling you.
Reddy installed Maggie in my office today.

- And it's...
- What? What do you mean,

"installed Maggie"?
Like, you-- Why would he--

You think he's gunning for you?

- [scoffs]
- I mean, look,

you did humiliate the guy
on the daily for ten years.

[Scarpetta] I would never have come back
after he forced me out.

Ever. If I'd known
he was gonna be my boss, no.

Yeah, well, you would've come back
'cause you did come back for her.

Right? You came back
to give Lucy a family.

All of us, and that was
a good impulse, so...

And maybe I didn't like the way
I left things last time around.

I need you.

Well, I'm right here.

I need someone I can trust.

I'm all in, Doc.

Nope. It needs to be official.
Put your hand on your heart.

- What?
- Yeah.

You need a real position, you need a job.

Actually, I don't need a job
for the first time in my life.

- I'm a kept man, in case you didn't know.
- It needs to be official

so I can protect you, so you don't get
kicked out of crime scenes

and the morgue and so-- anyway,

it needs to be legit.

How does
"Forensic Operations Specialist" sound?

- Forensic Operations Specialist?
- You like that, right?

Yeah, that sounds educated.

I need you to repeat after me.

- I, Pete Marino...
- I, Pete Marino...

...am officially deputized as
Forensic Operations Specialist.

...am officially deputized as
Forensics Operations Specialist.

[Scarpetta] And Kay Scarpetta
is going to decide my work.

[Marino] And is gonna decide my work.
What is this?

[Scarpetta laughs]
And she's gonna make my pay...

- ...as little as humanly possible.
- ...as little as humanly possible.

- Do you accept that?
- Absolutely.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- Hey, Doc.
- Hey.

Sorry to call so much. Uh, Doc?

[sighs] I, uh, just deputized him
as my forensic ops guy, officially.

He's on the payroll, everything.

Uh, you just did that in the car?

- Yeah.
- Forensic ops in the house.

- Who lives here?
- Gwen Hainey, 33.

Biomedical engineer at Thor Labs,
that tech company off I-95

that made the news
for 3D printing human organs?

Her boss called it in when
she was a no-show at the office.

Officer Fruge,
you're first on the scene again.

- That, she was.
- [Marino] Likes to be everywhere at once,

this one-- gets it from me.

I didn't know you were so close.
Didn't even know you knew each other.

Yeah, well, I think they call that
the mentor/mentee relationship.

Anybody get any of the security footage
from those two cameras on the gate?

Maybe check that out, they're operational.

- Yeah, I'm on it.
- Yeah.

Why do you think this missing Gwen Hainey
is a Jane Doe?

Because I think we may
have found the murder weapon.

We took prints on arrival.

- [Marino] Where'd you find it?
- It was propping open the door

in the living room.

It's the right size, right shape.

There's no blood on the ball,
but there was only one blow.

[phone ringing]

Oh. This is the lab.

Officer Ryan.

How bad was the hit?

Mm, punched out the bone.
Traumatic brain injury.

[Marino] You think it killed her?

[Scarpetta] It would have eventually,
but he took her

to Daingerfield Island, slit her throat
and she bled out.

That could have caused
the brain injury, yeah?

Yes.

Prints on the kettlebell
came back with a name.

- [Marino] And?
- [Scarpetta] Who is it?

Ryan?

Who is it?

It's Matt Petersen.

[Marino] Matt...

Matt Petersen, the...

the husband of the murdered Lori Petersen?

No, that can't be right.

They're his prints.

If that's true, then 20 years ago...

We got the wrong guy.

[Scarpetta] This case.

It's the one I built my whole career on.

My reputation, everything.

I can't be wrong.

We have a possible murder suspect
who has gone off the grid.

Matt Petersen.

You can find anyone
with the right equipment.

I could run facial recognition
on the public cameras.

[Marino] I did think
it was him back then.

But you proved me wrong.

- Right?
- If he had something to do with this,

then Gwen's death is on me.

[Dorothy] A bit of tarnish

on your otherwise flawless reputation.

Death stare.

[dramatic music playing]

[Benton] What is your obsession

with this case?
This is not like you.

You don't know, do you?

Stop being cryptic.

[Benton] I-I know my wife.

[Dorothy] I think you know the parts
of her that she wants you to know.

[Amburgey] The killer's fourth victim.

Head wounds just like Gwen Hainey?

[Marino] Doc, what we're looking for here
is a serial killer.

I think we're the only ones
looking for him.

Trust no one.

Even people that you think you know.

[Dorothy] No secrets between us.

Not any.

[Scarpetta] I want to know
what you said to my husband.

You put yourself

in the middle of my marriage,
now that's too far.

Death is all I've thought about
since I was 11.

[screams] No!

Once you've experienced it...

[screaming]

...you're really never the same.
