Complete story — includes the ending

A woman is murdered, and her premortem back scars resemble Kitty's. A burner phone left at a bar the woman was at leads the NYPD to a suspect, Simon de Merville. Simon works for a brothel that kidnaps illegal immigrants, and in his property is the body of one of the brothel's suppliers, as well as women captives. Simon might have been injured during the lethal confrontation with the supplier and went to his sister Violet for assistance. Kitty beats Violet into cooperating with the NYPD. Violet calls Simon to allow the NYPD to triangulate the call. Simon is aboard a boat; Osweiler, a bartender and former neighbor of Simon's has one. However, the boat, stored at the owner's house, is burned, with Simon locked inside. At the morgue, Kitty inspects the body and insists that Simon was not her rapist; she had broken her captor's fingers in her escape, and Simon's fingers are intact. Later, Joan, who has settled into her new job at the insurance firm, calls her new boss, Del Gruner. Kitty, overhearing the conversation, recognizes the voice of her rapist.
