[GASPS]
- It's the Bone Collector. - What did you find?
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
It's an anonymous card written to Barry Rothko's mother
a week after he disappeared.
It's written in Latin.
"Requiem requiem Ultima Ratio Regum."
Claire, the note from the Bone Collector.
What does it mean?
"Rest, rest. The Last Argument of Kings."
The handwriting is the same.
It's him.
- We found him. - Yes.
He left them a clue and they didn't even realize.
"Ultima Ratio Regum."
"The Last Argument of Kings"
was engraved on all cannons produced in France
under the reign of Louis XIV.
'Course. He's telling me where to find the body.
How does that help us find the body?
This case is Westchester County.
If I recall, Dobbs Ferry was a strategic encampment
for Washington's troops.
At the start of the Revolutionary War,
France gave the Continental Army supplies,
including cannons.
Check this out. There's a monument
to that battle in a field on the edge of town.
So if we're right,
Barry Rothko was buried somewhere in that field.
And his body could be a clue to his killer.
Find that body, we find a link to the Bone Collector.

Greg and Linda Vaughn.
You must admit the full extent of your corruption and greed.
At 6:00 p.m. today, you're to appear on live TV
from Brooklyn Borough Hall. The very courthouse in which
you lied and claimed no fault
in the Richmond Hill apartment fire of 2015.
Admit that the blood of the people who died there
is on your hands. Obey my instructions,
or another Vaughn property will burn.
And more people will die.
[DEVICE BEEPS]
Four of the Vaughn's investors were killed
in the blast today.
But it could've been a lot worse.
The next building will not be as empty.
Well, maybe we start with figuring out how the hell
the guy planted the bomb in the first place.
The site's on complete lockdown.
I mean, key fobs track down everyone entering and exiting.
Cameras on the outside cover every possible entrance.
Every employee's accounted for, and before the Vaughns
and their investors arrived,
the site was completely empty for weeks.
A locked room mystery.
Did you know the first modern detective story was about
a murder in a locked room impossible to enter?
- Predates Sherlock Holmes. - Edgar Allen Poe.
That's right.
The killer was a trained orangutan who climbed through
a fourth-story window.
So unless the Bronx Zoo is looking for a primate,
we've got quite a puzzle to solve.
Well, we can start with what he wants.
His demands suggest a clear vendetta against the Vaughns.
We go after whoever the evidence tells us to go after.
Well, technically, the demands on the voice recording
are evidence.
Bomber mentioned the Richmond Hill apartment fire.
Killed over 40 people... lotta families filed lawsuits.
Yeah, but the Vaughns were cleared of any negligence.
Fire was sufficiently ruled accidental.
Well, our guy's not buying the official story.

with a motive. But first...

It's hard to tell what's evidence and what's not.
Everything is burnt to a crisp.
This building's current renovation
works to our advantage. They've already removed
the flooring and walls, which likely had decades
of wear and tear and dust
and the skin cells of thousands of people on them.
What's a little fire compared to all that?
Three cheers for gentrification.
Head to the far corner behind you.
If the debris landed there, we need to find
where it came from.
I'm no expert, but that looks like a point of origin to me.
Well, I am an expert, and yes, it does.
And that looks like pieces of bomb shrapnel.
Move closer, please.
Huh.
This is odd.
Show me the other side again.
Our bomber left us something behind
that might lead us to him.
Look, I was testing the soil from the empty grave.
The Bone Collector took the body, but he may have left us

Yes, someone tipped him. Someone on the inside.
- Who? - I don't know.
I have Internal Affairs on it.
Well, they should be able to identify a data breach.
Who would do that?
Someone trading information for cash. Someone with a vulnerability.
Or maybe...
the Bone Collector is another cop.
He's meticulous, knowledgeable about forensics...
Knowledgeable about you.
I know this may come as a surprise, but you have ruffled
a few feathers over the years, Lincoln.
I've been over that list of names in my head
a thousand times. I can practically recite
the NYPD active roster by heart.
But right now, there's nothing we can do about that.
A bomber's threatening our city.
And there's a very literal ticking clock.
Bone Collector takes a back seat.
Not necessarily. Insight often arises when the mind is at rest.
You know how Einstein struck upon the theory of relativity?
Staring out a window.
You want us to stare out a window?
My point is, answers will come when they're ready.
In the meantime,
let's find what the Vaughns have to tell us.
So nobody's made any explicit threats against you recently?
No. Nothing out of the ordinary.
But we get threats all the time.
Because of the Richmond Hill fire
like the bomber mentioned on the tape?
We weren't responsible for the Richmond Hill fire any more
than we were responsible for the one this morning.
And our buildings that this madman is threatening to bomb...
three of them have free rec centers for children,
charter schools, a free private library.
We're not corporate monsters, all right? We...
- We run a family business. - Please.
- What can we do to help? - Well...
if it comes down to it,
would you be willing to do what he's asking for?
Go on television?
And publicly take responsibility for something
we tried ye... for years to clear our name of?
Come on, guys.
Thought there was a rule against negotiating with terrorists.
Well, it's kind of a unique situation, don't you think?
I mean, we have half the city hostage
and no hostage taker to negotiate with.
- Greg, maybe we need to... - We have every faith
that you'll find him.
Hey.
Simon, right? I'm Officer Sachs.
Sorry, he's not himself today.
Please, do not apologize.
You've both been through a lot.
Look, I know what happened today was a very big deal.
And people are asking you a lot of scary questions.
But it isn't your fault.
Trust me, I've been in your situation before.
I heard the recordings.
He said he's gonna do this again,
and he's coming for us next time.
Well, what I think is that he's trying to scare you.
But what I know is that we're gonna catch him
before he hurts you or anyone else.
I promise.
Simon, sweetie.
Can you really make that promise?
It's important children have reassurance in times of trauma.
What about the rest of us?

I didn't let you find anything.

desire to be caught. So that I would stop you.
It was a fluke.
But it's done, and now I'm gonna fix it.

Even when you're doing this, your team is working.
Eureka!
Saved by the bell.
Did she really just say, "Eureka"?

Definitely a part of a canvas bag, and the purple and yellow
powder are tiny pieces of spray-painted cement.
- Like from graffiti? - Exactly.
Store bought spray paint sold everywhere.
Hard to track, but that's not the cool part.
The cool part is that the pores are full of bacteria.
Bacteria?
You mean, like, he put the bag down in the men's room, or...
You were about to tell us what special kind of bacteria.
- I'm sorry, go ahead. - Bacillus subtilis.
Bacillus subtilis. Isn't that...
In your notebooks, yes.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Years ago, the military dispersed bacillus subtilis
through various tunnels under New York to test how disease
spreads underground.
And one of those tunnels just happens to be
a mecca for graffiti artists.
You're thinking of Freedom Tunnel.
Yeah, the spray paint, the bacteria.
Those bombs were in the Freedom Tunnel before they were

Down, get down! Down on the ground!
Right now! Down!
[PEOPLE YELLING SIMULTANEOUSLY]
You're okay. You're okay.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
Amelia.
A little victory tradition I do with Sellitto.
A drink after we close a case.
Figured it's time to bring you into the fold.
Is this an honor or am I about to get another lecture?
No lecture. You get the job done.
I can't argue with success.
Huh. So does that mean you're not still...
Take the win, Amelia.
Now, Lincoln and I, we like the single malt,
but we didn't want to assume your poison.
Well, after today, how about one of each?
Ah, now you're talking Sellitto's language.
[SCOFFS]
There you go.
Will you do the honors?
[SOFT MUSIC]
- To success. - Success.
- Salud. - Salud.
So... tomorrow.
- Back to the Bone Collector? - Why wait till tomorrow?
You know what Einstein was doing when he came up
- with the theory of relativity? - Looking out the window.
You know, you told me that story a thousand times.
Loves to compare himself to Einstein.
I have better hair.
[LAUGHS]
While we caught a bomber today,
a thought rose to the surface for me.
We didn't find the Bone Collector's first kill,
but we may have something equally useful.
Which is what?
I think we found his hometown.
- And given his age... - Age of the victim.
He was quick to unearth that crime,
which suggests you're right. He made mistakes.
And that means there's more mistakes,
likely mistakes he hasn't even considered,
waiting for us if we dig deep enough.
I'm betting he knows it.
He knows we're getting close.
- We got him on the run. - Scour the area,
talk to the people, look into the past.
The answer is there.
It's only a matter of time.
[KNIFE CLICKS]
[WHIMPERS]
[MUFFLED YELLING]
Shh, shh, shh. It's not what you think.
[MUFFED SCREAM]
- You're right. - [STRANGLED SOB]
I have been... [GRUNTS]
What's the word... agitated.
You've been the one who's held me together.
[TAPE RIPS]
[PANTING]
Still...
I can't help feeling this might be the most foolish thing
I've ever done.
Freeing you.
