Bounty (S14E02)

A man is found dead in a seedy hotel, and it appears to be a perverse sexual encounter gone awry. It takes awhile but Briscoe and Green find the identity of the victim. First by tracing a phone call to a hooker named Cosette, then by talking to the manicurist near his hotel, who tells them the victim had been there a couple of days before he died and told the manicurist he drove around the country and was from Philly. They find his car, with a stack of clips about Mitchell Maas in the trunk. Maas is a bookstore heir and fugitive rapist, and the victim is "Bobcat" Rovelli, bounty hunter. They find his cell phone records that show he made three calls to Brian Kellogg, a star reporter for the venerable New York Tribune. African-American and young, Kellogg was on the fast track and had just done a controversial interview with Maas. But he refuses to give up his whereabouts. (iTunes)
