CHAVEZ: Okay, Mr. Jakes. Thanks.
You can go.
All right, so I did some googling
on our victim Harrison Cantwell.
Apparently, he was some sort of
amateur archaeologist turned author.
Well liked, did a lot of philanthropic work
for museums around the world.
Semi-famous in nerdy circles.
Oi. I've heard of him.
Yeah.
Now, he's from New York,
but he's got an honorary seat
on the board of the Natural History Museum of Clark County.
Maybe that's what brought him out here?
RAJAN: Well, I was heading there next
anyway. They have the equipment
I need to carbon-date the skull.
So, you-- the body and the murder weapon.
You-- the ancient skull.
And another thing. Come here a minute.
That 419 this morning?
Mm-hmm.
In the dead man's trunk
was a card written in silver ink.
"Keep your secrets. Cull the rotten fruit"?
It seems like
he was sent to kill this young woman
and she wasn't having it.
Then this would-be victim,
she could be another link in the chain.
I need to talk to her as soon as possible.
No.
We need to walk and chew gum at the same time.
I will stay on your silver ink case
'cause I need your expertise on this
ancient skull business.
Thank you.

QADIRI: More than an author. He was so charitable.
So kind. Like a brother to all of us here at the museum.
Are you sure it's him?
Wow.
You all seem surprised.
But from what we can tell, he must've been missing
for close to two months.
Cantwell wasn't a traditional scientist per se,
but he was passionate.
He immersed himself in research.
QADIRI: Before his last three books, he went off-grid.
Five, six months.
Embedding, searching.
No one ever thought anything of it.
Zimbabwe, the Yucatán.
This last time, he was looking for
Clovis artifacts
in the Basin and Range.
Well, he might have found more than just artifacts.
Um, there was a Clovis point,
a murder weapon that we took back to the lab.
But there was something else.
Here, have a look for yourself.
What in the world?
Tad, run and get my hand lenses.
Do you think it's possible?
That this is a Clovis skull?
It-it would be the find of the decade.
QADIRI: Wear on the bone,
the teeth, it certainly could be.
MacARTHUR: We have so few
links to the oldest humans to walk on this continent.
Someone has to write this up.
It should really be you.
Perhaps Tad can assist.
For now, I'm assisting. We need it.
It's part of a homicide investigation.
Our lab can handle tool mark analysis
on the Clovis point, but
do you happen to have

We FaceTimed our way through a very thorough intake.
Mm.
Ready for the highlights?
Our victim was stabbed
five times using a stone object.
Probably held in the hands, not a spear.
The wounds are too shallow.
The final stab into his eye isn't what killed him.
This wound, in the inferoanterior cardiac muscle
near the right ventricle, caused a hemorrhage into the torso.
Broken bones in the arms and jaw
suggest fistfight.
Broken carpals and metacarpals. He fought back.
And what about the leg?
Uh, leg.
Jack?
Ah! (laughs)
Right. If you look at the position of the cartilage,
definitely postmortem.
My guess is some kind of animal,
like a coyote, tugged at it
till it was torn off.
What about this?
Huh.
Looks like... sand?
Maybe? Stuck to the hardened earwax?

It's not like we're hiding anything.
All of this had Harrison's blessing.
ROSE: It didn't seem particularly relevant
to your investigation.
We found Harrison's satellite phone.
And the last call he made might've been the day he died.
Can you tell us where you were on January 9th
at 1:30 in the afternoon?
FOLSOM: Where were you...
on January 9th at around 1:30 in the afternoon?
CHAVEZ: He had just made the find
of a lifetime.
He called it in.
And one of you killed him for it.
QADIRI: Wait, wait, wait, stop.
Just... Just hold on.
January 9th? I was traveling that weekend.
A lot of people saw us.
Saw who?
CHAVEZ: You and Dr. Qadiri were both in Illinois?
ROSE: In point of fact,
we were together.
I hate to say it, but I-I think our theory
is kind of falling apart.
Oh, no, it's really falling apart.
Laura and I were in Chicago to speak with a publisher.
The meeting fell through,
but we were there until Wednesday.
What...
Was th...
Do you think that's when he was killed?
Right after he made the find?
I didn't know.
ROBY: I know you found their prints on the same
manuscript pages.
But...
manuscript pages.
But...
they're still on the same page.
Mm-hmm.
Same story. Same alibi.
Mm-hmm.
And you've got the same problem.
No hard evidence.

Any of y'all want to call it a night, feel free.
FOLSOM: Come on, boss.
This is our chance to drink mediocre coffee
at 2:00 in the morning.
Yeah, was your chance.
at 2:00 in the morning.
Yeah, was your chance.
I can't stop thinking about Cantwell's last phone call.
I mean, two minutes and eight seconds.
Someone at the museum answered,
talked to him and turned him into a hotel for tarantulas.
FOLSOM: Well, there had to be
a lot of young and hungry archaeologists
at the museum who would do anything
to lay claim to the discovery he made, right?
Logan MacArthur said everyone had access to the office
where the call came in.
It was never locked, so
tying to someone specific is gonna be tricky.
Actually...
there might be someone we can tie to the crime scene.
Do we still have that blood sample from the rib?
The one that killer cleaned up?
FOLSOM: Oh, yeah.
The one that killer cleaned up?
FOLSOM: Oh, yeah.
We got lots of blood.
No DNA to speak of, though.
RAJAN: If I'm right,
we don't need DNA.
Blood.
Thank you.
Wright stain.
Well, red blood cells look normal.
RAJAN: These are different kinds of white blood cells:
you've got neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes...
There are four different types,
but we're only interested in one:
the basophils.
FOLSMOM: And basophils are the markers
for this disease?
Mm-hmm. And when there are no basophils,
there are a lack of histamines.
FOLSOM: I guess if all this blood work
helps put the killer behind bars,
at least they get a free diagnosis out of it.
RAJAN: I'm not seeing
any, are you?
Nope.
any, are you?
Nope.
The person who left their blood at the crime scene,
all their histamines were stuck to the underside of their skin,
which means...
Our man has cold urticaria.
Our man? We got him?
We got him.
There you go, Mr. MacArthur,
nice and cold.
I want to help you all in any way that I can,
but... (chuckles)
...frankly, I-I'm not sure why I'm here.
CHAVEZ: On the day he died,
your friend Harrison Cantwell made a phone call.
The last one he'd ever make. To Dr. Qadiri's office.
Your old office. Now, you're
in there all the time, right?
You admitted it yourself.
I'm not sure what you're driving at, but...
I didn't speak to Harrison.
Yeah, you did.
Your pal Harrison, he told you about his discovery.
A career-making find.
So you raced out there and found out it was true.
A man who was not a scientist
had discovered something
you never could.
And he was on his way into the history books.
You argued. You fought.
You got injured,
your resentment boiled over,
and you stabbed him.
But you were too hurt to follow.
How am I doing so far?
You want to show us your scar
where you got impaled on that rib?
I loved Harrison.
Uh, I wouldn't hurt a bug,
l-let alone a-a great thinker,
a-a great friend.
You don't have any proof of any of this.
Uh-oh.
What's-what's that there?
N-nothing. Just a nettle rash.
I-I get it sometimes, because of cold.
ROBY: I know.
Your "nettle rash" is actually a minor immune disease
called cold urticaria.
If you say so.
CHAVEZ: Oh, we do say so.
If you say so.
CHAVEZ: Oh, we do say so.
That's actually how we know you returned to the scene.
And cleaned the bones with hydrogen peroxide.
I mean, that was very smart.
It was.
Because it took care of all the DNA.
But it did not destroy the blood cells,
or the telltale signs
of the disease they're fighting.
Sir, the killer had cold urticaria.
The same thing Ms. Rajan noticed that you had back at the museum.
(crying): I-I-I...
I didn't want any of this.
I-I was just upset.
He-he was going to take credit.
It was all an accident.
I'm sorry, this is about credit?
You wouldn't understand.
50 years I-I've worked.
I-I've never had a find
like that.
Harrison w-would've never
found that site if it were not for my help,
my museum's resources.
He had his whole life ahead of him.
He could've shared this. He-he could've made
a hundred new discoveries.
No, he's not going to.
Not now.
Hands behind your back.
Stand up for me.
Poor gal got a spear stuck in her craw.
Yeah.
What's stuck in yours?
It's nothing.
You know what?
A few weeks ago,
you asked me what was wrong.
And I told you.
Back in Miami, when I first made detective,
I got a case.
16-year-old runaway,
disappeared from a motel room in Opa-Locka.
A little keychain like this was
the only thing left behind.
Until about a month later
we found her skull.
Just her skull.
I was green, so I thought if I just
worked the case hard enough...
But that's not always how it works.
Mm-mm.
But that's not always how it works.
Mm-mm.
It's a hard lesson.
I mean, we can't always find the bad guys.
But her family...
Her family saw you try, right?
That matters.
Only so much.
FOLSOM: Hey.
You ready to hit the road?
Yeah.
Have a good night.

You go through Molly's dossier?
GILL: Yep, fully processed.
453 pages of blackmail material.
It was really interesting.
Not the what, but the how.
When I found Lamont Moore's dossier,
it showed that he was being coerced by photos,
electronic surveillance.
Molly's was different.
A few years ago, she confessed to
a few non-violent crimes.
But not to her diary, not to police.
To her therapist.
Why do I feel like I know exactly where this is headed?
Okay,
look at the handwriting.
ROBY: Mm-hmm.
Molly's blackmail material.
And then Dr. Auerbach's notes
from Lynn Zobrist's therapy sessions.
We got get this by a jury, all right?
Handwriting analysis is way too shaky
to hold up in court.
We won't need to build our case around that.
Tell me.
Okay.
Dr. Auerbach's notes, which
by law, only she can have,
were printed
on the same printer...
that produced these cards.
They all have the same flaw.
Our mastermind's digital fingerprint is on all of them.
The sick mind
behind all of these murders...

...is Dr. Diane Auerbach.
Has to be.
