At the 11th Precinct, Hannah arrives unexpectedly and asks to speak to Captain Gregson in private. Responding to a fire in a residence, firefighters find a man dead and his throat slashed. At the crime scene, Detective Bell reports that the man is Ando Azuma, he worked in I.T. and immigrated from Japan four years before. Knocked unconscious and tied up before being killed, the fire was then started to burn any evidence. Missing part of his left pinky, Watson notes that wound healed some time ago. Holmes confirms that Azuma was a retired member of the Japanese crime syndicate, the yakuza, and that he wore a prosthetic finger which is missing. At The Brownstone, Holmes greets Bethany Ito who is the only Japanese-speaking prosthetics technician in NYC. Ito confirms to Holmes and Bell that she made Azuma's prosthetic pinky but that it also contained a flash drive. She provides them with the dark web account that Azuma used to pay for the pinky.
