Previously, on "Lincoln Rhyme"...

What is the Bone Collector

trying to tell us about each new murder?

Jane wanted to come by and say hi.

She is fascinated by what you do.

You're not a very nice person, Jane.

You were a good friend to Danielle.

But all good things must come to an end.

Our breaking story,

the return of the Bone Collector.

We beat the Bone Collector at his game.

We're going to play a new game.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

So let me address
the Bone Collector directly

if he's watching.

For eight years,
we let you set the rules.

But now we're done.

We have a new game with new rules.

And all you need to know is,
we're coming for you,

and we will find you.

We're coming for you,
and we will find you.

We're coming for you,
and we will find you.

We're coming for you,
and we will find you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Everything okay?
- I'm fine. Everything's fine.

I got some coffee and croissants.

I'm not hungry.

Okay, now I know something's wrong.

I told you, I'm fine.

A lot of things on my mind.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine. Really, I am.

All right, see you later.

I was up all night
with the Bone Collector.

- Welcome to my world.
- I was going over his profile

thinking about his very first kill.

Now, I don't care how good he is now,

He would have made mistakes then.

He most likely made plenty of mistakes.

I think I found one. Barry Rotko, 17,

Westchester County,
a missing persons case.

30 years ago, Barry Rotko goes jogging,

never comes home.

Investigators find a pit dug

along the jogging path, like a trap.

In it, some of Rotko's blood.

Oh, we know his M.O.:
kidnap, disable the victim,

kill them later somewhere else.
It's possible.

I had Eric request the original evidence.

We should have it by tomorrow.

Like you said, new game, new rules.

In the meantime,
Sellitto was on his way up.

I've got something else for the team.

Her name is Kamala Patel,

murdered in her home two nights ago.

- Any suspects?
- Her husband, Raj.

Witnesses heard them arguing.

The location of his phone
pings him to the house

at the time of the murder.

His prints are on the murder weapon.

Okay, I'll go out on a limb.
The guy did it.

- I'll co-sign that.
- He says he didn't.

But the evidence
says otherwise, doesn't it?

Yes, it does.

Okay, I'm lost.

Evidence reveals all.

What happened to that?

Lincoln, I mean, you don't
usually bring us cases.

Why this one?

The accused, Raj Patel,
went to Columbia with Naia.

She introduced him to Kamala.

So you knew the victim.

I did. They were both friends of mine.

I'm sorry.

The four of us spent
a lot of time together.

I know him.

Raj didn't do this.

Look, I'm very sorry for your loss,

and I hate to play Lincoln Rhyme here,

but just because you knew the guy

doesn't meant he didn't kill his wife.

I realize that.

But something doesn't add up.

It's too neat, too obvious.

So we're taking the case

because the evidence is too good.

Exactly.

Raj is being held pending arraignment.

Talk to him.

Get his side of the story.

Either find me something
to go on or convince me

that I don't know this man
the way I think I do.

I didn't do it.

Please, you have to believe me.

Why don't you start by
telling me about that night?

What happened?

- We had an argument.
- Oh, Raj, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry. Look, look, it's over, okay?

I ended it, I swear.

Kamala had strayed away
from the marriage.

I was upset.

I'm done.

No, Raj. No. Raj.

Raj.

I stormed out.

[GRUNTING]

And I realized
that I had forgotten my keys.

It was just a few minutes,

but when I came back in, Kamala was...

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Kamala.

No. No! Kamala!

It was awful.

There was no sign anyone
had been in the room.

No. None.

Is there anything you could remember

that might help us figure this out?

I wish there was.

I've lost everything.

My wife.

My life.

Naia always said Lincoln
can solve anything.

I need Lincoln's help, please.

Lincoln, I can't believe it.

I just spoke with Kamala last week.

She was gonna come out and visit me.

It's hit me hard too knowing she's gone,

Raj being in prison.

There's no way he did this.

You know that. There's just no way.

He wouldn't.

I know.

You have to help him.

Lincoln, he needs you.

I'll do everything I can to try

and find out what happened.

You'll get him out of this, right?

I mean, you'll find the evidence?

Naia, I'll do everything I can.

I trust you, Lincoln.

I trust you to find the truth.

It's not good, Lincoln.

We just came from the morgue.

There's no other traces on the body,

no other prints on the knife.

Amelia, you met him.

You sat with him. What's your take?

I think he's suffering.

He just lost his wife.

And when he says he's innocent...

Do you believe him?

I want to.

Someone's been training me
not to rely on my gut.

Lincoln, all due respect,

I don't think we should be on this case.

I think you're too emotionally involved.

I agree.

Look, I know he's your friend,

but he looks good for this.

What do you think?

I trust you, Lincoln.

You're not sentimental,

and you're not easily swayed my emotion.

So if you truly believe
the evidence is out there

to exonerate him,

then I say we have to go find it.

Okay, I'm in Kamala's art studio.

There's a considerable amount of blood.

I'm sorry, Lincoln.

I know she was your friend.

I don't need a therapist, Amelia.

I just need to see.

Well, I see footprints.

Yes. The crime scene reports states

that it belongs to Raj.

He says he discovered her body,
so that's not unusual.

The thing I can't figure out is,

Raj said he left the house,
realized he forgot his keys,

was back in three minutes tops.

The killer had a simple way in.

Well, the door hasn't been tampered with.

Maybe Raj left it unlocked.

What about the windows?

Wait.

See that?

What?

Two distinct smudges
on the outside of the glass.

Get closer.

Oh, yeah.

Cup your hands to your face.

Palm prints.

The outer edges.

Collect that trace.

Oil from the hands will give us DNA,

so we'll know
who was spying on the Patels.

Or who was trying to get in.

Why did we find your
palm prints on a window, Dave?

You know this woman?

That's Kamala, my neighbor.

Those prints make it clear
you were spying on her.

Kamala and me, we were friends.

Neighbors look out
for each other, you know.

I was checking on her.

So why not knock on the door,

ring the doorbell, give her a call?

Because you were creeping on her, hmm?

I was worried about her.

Heard her fighting with
her husband a few nights ago.

- I thought maybe...
- You'd just swoop in.

Maybe she rejected you.

You got angry, lost control.

I was working the night she died.

There are time logs, security cameras.

You can check.

You see anybody else? A guy she was with?

Anything unusual?

There was an electrical van
idling the whole time

I was there, seemed weird to me.

I don't know why you're wasting
your time with me.

It was obviously her husband.
That guy has problems.

Dave Chen's alibi checked out.

He's a creepy perv,
but he didn't kill Kamala.

And her boss,
the one she was sleeping with,

his wife confirms his alibi.

Lincoln, I know there are
no dead ends, but...

There are no paths to follow.
I found one.

I started with the hypothesis
that Raj is innocent,

yet the evidence points to him.

Two similar cases
within the last six months.

Wives stabbed multiple times
in the torso.

Witnesses heard them fighting,

husbands tied to the murder scene,

their prints on the murder weapon.

I hate to be the naysayer here,

but husbands killing
their wives, it happens.

And then there's this.

When you look at all three
victims, tell me what you see.

- No defensive wounds.
- Right.

With stabbings, you see wounds
on their hands and arms

from them trying to defend themselves.

Kamala was a fighter.

She would have fought like hell.

So you're saying there's a connection

between these three cases.

Let's talk to the husbands.

I may have an answer to why
there are no defensive wounds.

Taser marks.

Uh, not seeing it.

Which is why the M.E. missed it.

The killer incapacitated them
with a Taser

and then stabbed them over
the Taser marks to cover it up.

Look. If you look closely,

you can see the fractional edge
of a superficial burn here

and small puncture wound
from the metal probe here.

He went through a lot
of trouble to cover his tracks.

We're talking one M.O. One killer.

Which means Raj is innocent
and there's a serial killer

out there planning the perfect murder.

[FURNACE RATTLING]

You've got to be kidding me.

[FOREBODING MUSIC]

♪ ♪

Oh, my God.

I know everything points to me.

But I didn't kill her.

I had a one-night stand,
and she found out.

But that's all I'm guilty of.

We had our issues,
but what couple doesn't?

I was angry.

- Yes, we fought.
- I said I wished she was dead.

I was only out the room for,
like, five minutes.

And I know that points the finger at me,

but it's not so.

She was gone.

I tried to stop the bleeding,
but it was too late.

I had her blood all over me.

It was awful.

I can't unsee her
just lying there on the ground.

My prints were on the knife.
Any jury would convict.

My lawyer said it would
be best if I took the ten years

than spend the rest of my life here.

You have to believe me.

I didn't do this.

Someone else killed my wife.

Please, you have to believe me.

Got to say, these guys sound credible.

Their stories are identical.

Yeah, even I'm starting to believe them.

We're looking at three
murders, three innocent people.

You know, for somebody to do this,

to time it just right, how?

Start by taking a new look
at the evidence.

Evidence for all three cases
organized accordingly.

Good. We look at every piece of evidence,

every fingerprint, every hair,
fiber, and speck of dust.

Got it. Leave no stone unturned.

Sounds like I should make coffee.

The big pot.

Can't believe I'm saying this,

but I can't find anything.

Hey, investigators
did their due diligence.

The evidence points to the husbands.

Yeah, I mean, there's no connection

between these couples.

I mean, they didn't know each other.

They didn't go to the same places.

How would the killer know to target them?

I think I can help.

This is from Raj's house.

It's called a HomeStar.

- A server, right?
- Correct.

Now, it runs your home's networks.

Well, I checked. The other
two victims had one as well.

Which tell us what?

How our killer
got information on the victims.

By hacking the server,
he was able to gain access

to their phones, their computers.

Gave him the keys
to their personal lives.

Exactly.

Look, let's say we want
to get information about Eric.

You know, learn his dark secrets.

Not a chance.

Got a security app on my phone, my vault.

Really?

Okay.

"I'm E. Die-hard Mets fan.

"Wiz in the kitchen.

Good listener. Sundays are fun days."

Swipe left.

Profile's public. Anyone can see that.

Okay, E.

How about this?

Security cameras inside your house.

Oh. That's deeply disturbing.

And I was able to do that
in mere seconds.

Get me a sophisticated
metadata, I can get a lot more.

- How much more?
- Texts, emails.

Look, it's as simple as a Google search.

Type a key phrase into the search bar

of a sophisticated program...

"hate," "affair," "kill you"...
you're gonna get hits.

Like profiling, he knows
the key words to search,

the precursors to the fights.

Wait for the moment their
fight's about to boil over.

That's when he strikes.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Sellitto.

So the guy has to have left
some kind of digital footprint.

With the search tools we have
now, no footprint at all.

Look, if this guy's as good
as I think he is,

we're not catching him online.

He's a ghost.

Thanks. Sorry to pile on with bad news,

but it looks like
our killer struck again.

Wife dead. No defensive wounds.
Husband in custody.

This killer thinks he's invisible.

But every move, every step, every breath,

he makes himself visible to us.

So let's find him.

Victim is Samantha Layton, 33.

- Multiple stab wounds.
- Taser?

Told the M.E. on site to look.

I'll confirm at the morgue.

Well, what do we know
about their marriage?

Well, they owned this
real estate business together,

but it was failing.

There's records
of arguments in emails, texts,

and the office manager
heard them argue a lot.

Husband's in custody
telling everyone he's innocent.

And they have a HomeStar.

We'll keep you updated
if we find any more info.

House has been converted into an office.

Show me the windows.

There's a thin layer of dust on them.

I don't think they've been opened.

The killer got in somehow.

What about the front door?

Uh...

No sign of forced entry.

And the back door is
dead-bolted from the inside.

Felix says all the victims'
security cameras were disabled

at the time of the murder,
including the door cam.

So you think the killer

just walked in through the front door?

Bring me the lock.

If he did breach the lock,

I want to see if he left us something.

Hmm.

Want to know how they got in?

Yeah.

See this plastic splinter?

It's part of a 3-D printed key.

Well, how did the perp get a key?

I mean, I know they have digital access,

but not actual access.

If Felix was right,
all they would have to do

is get the security images
of the front door

from HomeStar, zoom in on the key

when the targets came in,
take a screenshot,

and then make a 3-D
printed key from that.

I really need to upgrade
my home security system.

Wow, so we were right.

The killer just walked through
the front door.

And that is why the timing
of the murders was so perfect.

Because these couples had
a killer in their midst,

and they didn't even know it.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- How'd it go?
- Met with the DA.

She's willing to wait
on a formal indictment,

but if we don't prove this theory,

they're gonna hit Raj with murder one.

- Are they still holding him?
- They have 72 hours.

- How's he doing?
- Last I talked to him,

he was trying to hold
on to hope... but losing.

- Mm.
- Well, I've got his back.

I was able to get a partial
print from the key fragment.

Not enough to run,
but if we land a suspect,

I'll be able to match it.

Okay, got something.

I did a deep dive on the
electrical van Dave Chen saw.

Now, it could be nothing,
but it could be a cover

for the killer to be in the neighborhood.

There were no photos of it
at the other crime scenes,

but there was a security camera
across the street

from the second victim's house.

Tracked it down.

We got this.

Check out the lettering.

- E-L-E?
- If that says electrical,

that places the same van
at two crime scenes.

Right, but we don't even know

if it's a real electrical van or a cover.

Oh, and that's why I pulled
all registered

commercial electrical vans
in the tri-state area.

Thousands.

But...

maybe there's a way
we can narrow it down.

Dave Chen said the van
was idling the entire time

he was outside Kamala's house.

It was cold that night.

He was probably running the heater,

which means it was likely
releasing some kind of fluids.

You think we can get a trace from the van

in a city full of cars leaking fluid?

I think it rained right before.

I think that narrows the odds.

If Sellitto and Eric can find out

exactly where Chen thinks
it was parked, we can try.

So we're looking for a needle
in an asphalt haystack.

Mm, no more unlikely
than the parking ticket

that nailed Son of Sam

or Ted Bundy being pulled over
for driving a stolen car.

Every scrap of evidence
leads back to someone.

Why? What's wrong?

I just need you to come home now.

Okay. I'll be right there.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Eric and Sellitto brought me asphalt

from where the van was parked.

You can get something from it?

It's called a poultice.

Lay it on top of any granite,
marble, or asphalt surface,

pulls all the oil out.

Makes for a great homemade cleaner.

You good?

I guess I'm still shocked at
Lincoln's emotional involvement

in this case.

I feel for him.

He doesn't look like he cares
all the time.

But here's a little secret
about Lincoln Rhyme.

He cares all the time.

Please tell me they found

more than just potholes out there.

The poultice pulled out
the oil from the asphalt

with a high concentration of zinc

dialkyl dithiophosphate.

An additive used to prevent
engine wear in older cars.

Which tells us that the van
is at least six years old.

So that narrows the list.

But get this, that particular
additive, it's an off-brand.

It's only sold at two repair
shops in the five boroughs.

I ran receipts from the last year,

narrowed the listing further.

- By how many?
- Two electrical vans.

And one was a van from Elmwood Electric.

So the company went out of business.

They sold up their fleet at an auction.

I got list of the customers,
ran the names,

got a hit on a guy in the system

for a hacking charge.
Ran the prints. Guess what.

Matched our partial prints.

Garrett Harrison.
Tech support at HomeStar.

- Eric's putting a BOLO out.
- He was fired ten months ago.

- Fired why?
- Interpersonal conflict.

I dug into his background
and found the real kicker.

When he was a teenager,
his father killed his mother

right in front of him
after one too many fights.

Father went on trial, beat the rap,

destroyed the family.

Well, at least now

we know why he targets fighting couples.

He's acting out what he saw
his parents do.

This happened when he was a teenager.

Why has he suddenly started killing?

Anything could have triggered
him, really.

I've got his address, but be careful.

He's ahead of us.

Which is why I want you to go with them.

I couldn't even look at them all.

These are awful.

I'm shaking.

I think these are real.

I think someone who lived here
before us might be...

A killer.

We should call the police.

Yes. Yes. I'll call 911.

No, 911 is for imminent danger.

We'll... we'll call first thing tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?
- It'll wait.

No, honey, this is bad.

And this guy could still be out there.

I think... I mean, some of these
pictures... like, this is...

Jane.

Come with me.

Trust me.

It'll all be okay.
