Complete story — includes the ending

Morland downplays the danger surrounding him by saying that the assassin has been dealt with, a story Sherlock disbelieves. Two weeks later, Sherlock is turning up only empty leads. Sherlock corners Lukas. Startled by Lukas's hostility, Sherlock returns to Morland with the accusation that Morland suspects him of the shooting; Morland admits that Sherlock was, at one time, a suspect. Sherlock demands that he leave New York. Morland apologizes for his suspicions, explains the cause of Lukas's reaction and agrees to return to London. Sherlock says that Lukas's predecessor was spying on Morland, agreeing to investigate the case of Morland's shooting because of his reputation being besmirched. Meanwhile, Lily Cooper, the owner of a halfway house owned by Fairbridge, a for-profit university, suspects that a murder is more than it seems. A team of thieves witnessed the murder. Bell obtains a sketch of the murder suspect. Then Lily turns up dead as well. The man in the sketch is identified by the halfway house staff but, while he confesses to both murders, Bell finds that he has an alibi for Lily's. Fairbridge's CEO was using indebted ex-con students to commit crimes for him, including murder.
