Lincoln Rhyme Nitrogen rich, explosive carbons, where do you find those in New York City?
Paulie Bomb sites, shooting ranges.
Amelia Maybe an old fort or an armory?
Eddie Ortiz Let's not forget the shit factor, guys.
Lincoln Rhyme The what?
Eddie Ortiz Manure becomes a nitrate when it's aged.
Lincoln Rhyme That's true. And you got cow bones, huh? Old cow bones, old manure. Turn of the century. Cows, farms... pastures, rats... dead cows. Where do you find... In stockyards... slaughterhouses, that's what we want to look for.
🧡

🥱
Lincoln Rhyme Two things. First, you did a hell of a job locating the evidence. There's no question the perp knows forensics.
[pause]
Lincoln Rhyme Now, as for the other thing... the... you know, the victim's hands, well, maybe, uh... maybe it was too much to handle, so we'll just forget it.
Amelia Is that your version of an apology?
Lincoln Rhyme An apology? Is that why you came over here?

Lincoln Rhyme Pull up a chair. I want you to tell me everything you know about the crime scene.
Amelia Basically, you saw my report.
Lincoln Rhyme I read your report. I wanna know what you felt. What you feel... in the deepest recesses of your senses.
Amelia You are in love with the sound of your own voice, aren't you?
Lincoln Rhyme No, it's your voice I yearn to hear. Pull up a chair. I won't bite you.

Amelia [shows evidence bags] Maybe this'll help.
Lincoln Rhyme Cheney will have your badge for that.
Amelia Well, he wouldn't give me a chain of custody voucher, so what could I do?
Lincoln Rhyme You could bring it back to him.
Amelia The man is a living monument to ineptitude.
Lincoln Rhyme True. Let's take a look.

🥱
Amelia Shit! Cheney's here.
[puts the evidences into her pocket]
Captain Howard Cheney You talking to Rhyme on that thing? Give me the radio. Now, listen, Linc. This is Cheney, man. What the hell do you think you're doing? Stealing evidence is a goddamn felony. You know that.
Lincoln Rhyme To my understanding, there's no chain of evidence voucher.
Captain Howard Cheney Oh, yeah? Well, I got some news for you. You are not a cop anymore. You understand that? What you are is a fucking meddling cripple. Now, I'm gonna place your little gofer here under arrest. You don't mind that, do ya? Lock her up.
[looks back and finds Amelia gone]
Paulie Where'd she go?
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Amelia I can't do this.
Lincoln Rhyme You can do it. Yes, you can. Yesterday you stopped a train. You can do anything you want when you put your mind to it.
Amelia Don't work me, Rhyme... Just tell me what to do next.
Lincoln Rhyme Very slowly... walk the grid... one foot in front of the other. I want you to look around you now. Remember... crime scenes are three-dimensional... floors, walls and ceilings.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme All right, this is what I want you to do. We're gonna need those handcuffs really. It's probably our best chance for good prints.
Amelia The M.E. can remove them when they get here.
Lincoln Rhyme The M.E. is all thumbs really. They'll mess up the prints. Look in the suitcase. There's a small saw.
Amelia [finds the saw] Okay.
Lincoln Rhyme I want you to saw her hands off at the wrist line. We gotta have those cuffs for prints.
Amelia [pause] I can't.
Lincoln Rhyme Cut her hands off. We need the handcuffs.
Amelia I can't. No.
Lincoln Rhyme Saw off her hands, take off the cuffs.
Amelia I can't.
Lincoln Rhyme Listen to me. Saw off her h... We need those cuffs.
Amelia I can't!
Lincoln Rhyme Amelia, we need...
Amelia No, fuck you!
🧡

🥱
Amelia Excuse me, but the victim was already dead when we arrived.
Captain Howard Cheney And you, half-assed patrolman working a crime scene... those days are over. I'll take that evidence bag now, thank you.
Amelia You can take it with a chain of custody voucher, sir.
Captain Howard Cheney Are you out of your mind? Hmmm? Let's go. You're coming with us.
Amelia What? Are you arresting me?
Captain Howard Cheney You just get in the car, and keep your mouth shut to the press.
🧡

🥱
Thelma Just give it a few seconds to work. Come on, breathe with me. Breathe with me, Rhyme. Rhyme! Come on, now... Hang on, Rhyme. Hang on, man.
Amelia Is he gonna make it?
Thelma If he does, he won't be happy.
Amelia What are you talking about?
Thelma He's already finalized arrangements to self-terminate... He's got some doctor friend to help with his "final transition" as he calls it.
Amelia But suicide? I mean...
Thelma It's the seizures. Any one of them could put him into a vegetative state. That's what he fears more than anything.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme Whatever happened to your father doesn't mean it's gonna happen to you. You're a great cop. You'd make a terrific detective. It's a gift. Don't throw it away.
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Detective Kenny Solomon You were a model.
Amelia Yeah, when I was a kid.
Detective Kenny Solomon Kid model to street cop... there's a leap.
[pause]
Detective Kenny Solomon For whatever it's worth... I thought what you did today was pretty damn terrific.
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Richard Thompson [ranting] I gave you so many clues and you failed... you fucking failed.
🧡

Paulie [Amelia drives the car screeching from lane to lane] Jesus Christ! I'd like to get there in one piece, if possible.
🧡

🥱
Amelia Thelma told me about your plans for your "final transition."
Lincoln Rhyme Cop to cop, that subject's not open to discussion. Why?... Would you miss me?
Amelia Well, destiny's what we make it, right?
Lincoln Rhyme Touche.
Amelia Now, you seem to have your reasons for checking out. I just... I would have expected more from someone like you.
Lincoln Rhyme Well, I might surprise you and... live forever.
Amelia Nothing you could do would surprise me, Rhyme.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Captain Howard Cheney You the one who stopped the train?
Amelia Yes, sir. I thought it would disturb physical evidence.
Captain Howard Cheney So, why not shut down Grand Central while you're at it, hmm, Patrolman Donahue? Is that right?
Amelia Donaghy.
Captain Howard Cheney A rookie, I take it?
Amelia No, sir.
Captain Howard Cheney Pretty dumb.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme I want you to work the case with us.
Amelia It's not my area.
Lincoln Rhyme Are you being modest or are you... a little uneasy about doing some real police work?
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme Just trust me. Just follow those instincts you were born with. I'll be with you... every step of the way.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme Sounds like you're starting to enjoy this work.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme Maybe... maybe he's trying to share the responsibility of these murders with us. If we don't figure out the clues in time, the blood's on our hands. If we don't find the victim in time, we're as responsible for the murders as he is.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Richard Thompson You wanna play?
[pause]
Richard Thompson Shall we cut out your tongue, Mr, Rhyme? How 'bout your eye? Your eye... we'll just pop it right out of there. No. Let's leave that for now. You can watch me. You can watch me while I get you open, right down the middle.
[Rhyme mutters something]
Richard Thompson What?... What?... What?
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Lincoln Rhyme [operating PC with his voice to see the unsolved homicide photos] Zoom. Same mark. Right. Zoom. Zoom. Zoom... Same messages. It's him... The perp was trying to make contact even then.
Amelia But Cheney never put it together.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Richard Thompson Some people win... some people lose... the game is over.
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Paulie You okay?
Amelia I'm fine. Wanna step aside so I can walk the grid?
Paulie Yeah.
