Interpreting the NYPD-dubbed Junkyard Killer's MO as that of a "righteous" killer, Malcolm searches the scrapyard and finds a live victim, Ryan Davis, buried in a makeshift underground cell. Enraged, the killer calls again demanding to know how he figured it out. Malcolm maintains his composure until the killer mentions the girl in the box, which winds him up enough to risk walking into a trap where he's injured semi-mildly. The killer gives him a phone and tells him to meet at a certain location if he wants to save kidnapped priest Leo, who looks after homeless people like Ryan. Gil helps save the priest, but Malcolm realizes it was a diversion: the killer meanwhile intruded the hospital to murder Ryan in his bed. Ainsley spots him there and can hide just before cops arrive. Jin, who has just woken up from surgery, breaks up with her out of disgust for putting her career before him, finding she had filmed his surgery and was planning to air it. Jessica refuses Malcom's advice to leave her house at least until the Junkyard Killer is caught. Gil must report the FBI is taking over the case, he's sidetracked.
