Damaged

(dramatic orchestral music continues)

Night, rabbi.

- Good night. Lilah tov. - Bye.

Night, Abigail.

See you next week.

Goodnight, Abigail.

I got a delivery for Abigail Myres.

Job here is done, man.

We're leaving Cap. Bye. See you soon.

Yeah, let's go to the lab.

Robbery gone wrong?

This looks like someone's sending a message

through a snitch

that should have known better.

How can you be sure?

Tattoo, the name of a gang,

and I guarantee you, detective,

had you looked closer,

you would see his tongue's been cut out.

This is just some gang bullshit.

Let them kill each other.

Make the streets safer.

Hold on, Lawson.

You know where to find me.

Yeah. Propping up a bar.

Why don't you just quit?

Drinking?

It's been six years since the last-

- You don't- - All right. All right.

You can't catch 'em all.

Your partner, Walker, he knew when to quit.

Yeah.

Well, some of us can't just walk away.

Piece of shit.

Dan, it's Sarah.

Please. We need to talk.

Call me. It's important.

Dan, it's Sarah.

Please, we need to talk. Call me.

- Oh! - Open up. I'm getting soaked.

Come on.

Ah, Christ!

The fuck you want?

You're gonna wanna see this.

Kills five seemingly random people in Chicago,

then lays low for six years. - Mm.

You think it's a copycat?

We never published any images

of how the body parts were laid out.

I want in on this.

Good.

Scottish police want a word.

That body was found in Edinburgh.

Yeah. Hello, this is Detective Lawson.

What time did you get to sleep last night?

Glen.

Breakfast. - Thanks.

Hey, are you okay?

Are you going to make it this afternoon?

Yeah. I haven't forgotten.

There's a detective flying in from Chicago today.

He's gonna be consulting on my case.

I need you today.

Gotta go.

Detective Lawson. Hi, I'm Superintendent Kessler.

This is DCI Glen Boyd. - D...

Detective Chief Inspector.

When can I see the crime scene?

We've never encountered such a violent case as this.

Dismembering of the victim's arms and legs and decapitation.

We read the case file your department sent.

We appreciate you sharing.

Abigail Myres, age 35.

Last seen leaving West Edinburgh Synagogue at 6:00 PM.

Satanic cross. - Satanic Temple icon.

Your report stated

that you leaned towards three symbols of worship.

The the Satanic Temple icon, the agnostic cross,

and the serpent symbol of the antichrist.

That all became inconclusive.

Different profilers have tried to see

if there's any evident connection to any sects.

But general consensus is

this is not textbook cult ideology.

Any suspects?

We've taken statements from the neighbors,

checking their alibis.

Only one neighbor so far is a person of interest.

Lives across the road from Abigail at number 62,

a Mr. Avery Thompson.

Reports of an argument, but we haven't verified it yet.

She live alone?

I believe so.

Good looking family there.

Must be proud.

What's his or her name?

It's Callum.

It's his birthday today. - Oh.

He would've been three.

We lost him just over a year ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Minimal blood splatter on the walls.

Pool of blood on the floorboards.

An outline of a cross in blood

where the arms and legs were arranged.

Chair knocked over, lamp knocked over.

Contents of purse emptied out on the floor.

So he arrived after she got home from the synagogue,

which means he probably followed her.

Well, he knew her routine.

We haven't ruled out it

being a religiously-motivated hate crime yet.

Find anything unusual?

Yes. One foreign object.

A key.

It fits none of the locks in here.

You sent this to forensics?

Yeah.

What is it?

It's not the same.

My killer was methodical, meticulous.

Let's wait and see if the torso turns up.

You know, the only reason a serial killer stops

is either he's dead or...

Doing the time for another crime.

Yeah, I know. And yes, we checked.

Sorry. Sorry.

I didn't forget.

Nope. I'm stuck at a murder case.

Still with him. The American.

Time just got away.

Sorry. Could be there in an hour.

Oh, possibly.

Shall I wait to eat?

Just one more thing I've got to do.

Just don't be too late.

What?

What do you want?

Are you aware of what happened to your neighbor?

I told your guy the other day,

I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything.

Is this yours?

Why?

Because it was found outside Abigail Myres' apartment.

Now, do you mind if I take a look inside?

You got a warrant?

- Not yet. - Well, fuck off then.

Away from my property, officer.

Oh. Hello.

DCI Boyd. Do you mind if we have a word?

Come in. Come in.

I don't want him to see us talking.

Avery Thompson is not a pleasant man.

Do you think he knows something about Abigail?

I told Detective Chaudhry,

I did hear them arguing recently.

Did you hear what they were saying?

Did you hear that?

Ah, he's leaving.

In a hurry.

You were saying, Ms. Walsh?

Last week, Avery was livid

because someone had thrown an egg at his car.

He accused Abigail,

and there is absolutely no way that

that lovely young woman would've done such a thing.

An egg?

What did he say to Abigail? It's important.

He said he would deal with her this time.

I mean, it might not mean anything,

but you never know with people these days.
