I won't let you down! You can count on me!
Thank you! Thank you so much!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes! Oh! Yes!
Life is good! Oh, yeah!
Go, Lianne! Uh-huh!
Life is good! Whoo!
This is terrible. Oh, my god, Jane.
- Don't panic. - Too late.
I need to see it again.
Wait, no.
Too much screen time is bad for you.
Take a break. Go cut open a body.
Okay, they said your apartment burned down
- because of faulty wiring. - They did.
- But this is arson. - It was.
And you're not worried?
Somebody picked my very good lock.
Look, if ... if they wanted to hurt me,
they would have broken in when I was home.
And these are the thoughts that give you comfort?
- Yeah. - So, what about the hacking?
Or the ... the damage to your credit
- or the accounts being closed? - They are open again,
and I have a shiny, new credit card.
Maura...
Jane, someone burned down your apartment!
Yes. And then they told me about it.
Okay, so, what else are they gonna tell you about?
Well, I don't know, Maura, but I'm sure it's gonna be worse.
Isn't that what you're thinking?
'Cause that's what I'm thinking.
That's what I lay awake thinking about every night!
Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jane.
I did not ... I did not mean to upset you.
No, I'm already upset.
But I'm not gonna quit my job. Then the bad guy wins.
This is just... it's a horrible burden on you.
- I... I'm sure for Angela... - No. No, no, no, no, no,
she can't know anything about this.
- Well, you have to tell her. - No, I don't.
And neither do you. And you're not going to.
That's why I'm showing you this now so you can get ready.
- Well, I can't lie. - Yes, you can.
That's the beauty of the new you.
- I can try. - I have confidence in you.
Isles.
On my way.
Homicide.
Hey, h-hold the elevator! I'll get my jacket!
- Well, you're not going anywhere. - What?
Start pulling files of anybody that may have a beef with you.
Okay, I can do that when we get back.
You put a lot of people away. It'll be a big pile.
- Korsak, I don't need to ... - Stop. Desk. Go.
6x12 - "5:26"
- This is interesting. - Last thing I expected to hear here.
- What would you expect? - Sad story.
Well, this is interesting and sad.
She's got track marks, but they're old. Scars have healed.
It's possible she stopped using some months ago.
What's that?
A tattoo of a butterfly. Beautiful. And it's recent.
Junkie gets clean, comes here, tries to start a new life.
Gets a hopeful tattoo, falls off the wagon.
Well, it's a quick and violent death.
The foaming around the mouth indicates a drug overdose,
probably from cocaine.
Well, she had plenty of cash for a party.
There wasn't one, though. There were no drugs, no paraphernalia.
And no cocaine residue around the nose.
Perhaps she was injecting someplace
the supervisors of the halfway house wouldn't notice.
Hey, doc, could you give me an estimate of the victim's shoe size?
7.
- That's a man's 12. - Maybe he brought the party.
- Let's find out who was here. - And not invite him to my party.
Almost done.
She said that half an hour ago.
Maybe I'll save time and write out my 10-page paper by hand.
Can you do that when you're unconscious?
- Jane, I found something interesting. - Yeah, me too.
People are impatient.
- What's all this? - Uh, Korsak's having me print up
all the threatening e-mails I've received.
- That's a lot. - Yeah, and this is just from this year.
Trying to figure out how to sort them ...
chronological order, type of threat...
overuse of block letters.
- When you're done, meet me in bric. - Okay.
It's all yours.
What's going on?
I've been working on the video your apartment arsonist sent.
- Ooh, does it end differently? - Kind of.
Really? Okay, I'm listening.
Digital cameras shoot raw images.
They're high-quality, uncompressed files,
which the camera's software edits into a standard frame.
That's what you see in the image viewer, but the full image still exists.
If you can access the raw data, you can see outside the frame.
Isn't that cheating?
Yeah. That's why it's fun. Watch.
That's the standard image.
- Here's the raw. - You're amazing.
Okay, run a search on all arsonists with butterfly tattoos.
I already did. Nothing came up.
Okay, let's get this to every local tattoo artist.
If we can find the artist, they can lead us to the arsonist.
- Wait, is that Lianne Sampson? - What?
Uh, the victim from the scene I just came from.
She died of a drug overdose.
She had a tattoo of a butterfly on her left wrist.
That's my murder victim.
No, that's my murder victim.
This threatening pile of e-mails is all from women.
- There's no Lianne Sampson. - Anything mention arson or hacking?
Maybe she used a different name.
I have a "you're dead, bitch." "Dead" is spelled d-e-d.
I feel pretty good about eliminating her.
Yeah. As a suspect or a spelling-bee contestant.
Well, you don't need to be a good speller
to burn something down.
No, but you do need some degree of competence
if you're gonna hack into all my accounts.
She could have hired somebody to do that.
Yeah.
Lianne Sampson was paroled two months ago
- for petty theft. - Petty theft...
Lots of petty theft.
No, I've never had any contact with this woman.
Throwaway kid in and out of group homes, becomes a drug-addicted adult.
But she's been sober for the last six months.
Not so sure about that.
Part of her parole was that she was tested every week.
As of last Thursday, she was clean.
What's her connection to Jane?
- There is none. - She burned down my apartment?
Yeah, there's that. We'll keep looking.
- Okay. - Maybe somebody hired her.
Would explain all the cash in her apartment.
- A junkie will do a lot for 5 grand. - Yeah. Yeah, I like that thinking.
- I mean, I don't like that thinking. - I got it.
Okay. Nina just cracked Lianne's phone.
Hey.
There are lots of texts from a Tom Hobert.
- Every other word is "baby." - So he was her boyfriend.
Oh, yeah. There are months of these.
But they end four weeks ago.
Oh, right before she torched my apartment.
Okay. So, we need to talk to Mr. Hobert.
It's Maura. Hi.
Okay, I'll be right down.
- We'll take care of Hobert. - Okay, thanks.
- You have an address for this Hobert? - Working on it.
You rang? Ish.
I have a surprise for you.
Oh, no, Dr. Frankenstein, you shouldn't have.
The fire inspector still had your door in the evidence locker.
I was thinking about what you said
about having a very good lock, so I brought it here,
and you did, and it was picked.
Well, they had to get in somehow.
- The teeth are even. - They bumped my lock?
They struck the lock. They withdrew. They repeated.
They struck again until all of the tumblers were open.
This is a very sophisticated lock-picking technique.
Which rules out a drug addict with no B&E priors.
Yeah, but we're dealing with someone smart and motivated, Jane.
- I'm worried about you. - I'd worry about the person
- who bumped my lock when I find them. - Jane...
Nobody bumps my lock, Maura.
- Thanks for coming. - I'm kind of curious why
you didn't want Jane to know I was here.
I've drawn up a psychological profile
- on the person who's after her. - The arsonist?
The person who hired the arsonist and possibly the hacker.
- You've ruled out Lianne Sampson? - Yes.
So, this individual has access to money.
They're very good at manipulating people,
very smart, and very unpredictable.
- You think Jane's in danger? - I think Jane needs a bodyguard,
which I will pay for myself.
- Have you told her that? - No.
Look, Maura...
I understand your concern. I share your concern.
Excellent. So, this is the list of bodyguards
that come highly recommended.
They killed Lianne Sampson.
Yes, and Jane is my best chance of finding them.
I'm not taking her out of commission.
That would be counterproductive. Thank you.
- How did you meet Lianne? - We started dating in rehab.
You're not supposed to date people from rehab.
You're not supposed to step on a crack
'cause you'll break your mother's break, but you do.
We were good together, you know? She was an all-right chick.
- Then what? - There was a new guy, some dick.
- But with money. - Boyfriend?
- Lianne said she was working for him. - You didn't believe her?
