One night Campbell receives a phone call from Griffin, the serial killer, who reveals that he followed Campbell to Chicago, and wants to rebuild the "rapport" they once had. Griffin tells Campbell that he will send a photo of a girl in the morning, and Campbell has until 9. 00 at night to find her. Campbell tells Ibby that he wants back in on the case, and his request is granted.

Campbell works together with Det. Mackie and the rest of the team in getting the word out on finding the girl before the deadline. However, by the time Campbell gets her house number and calls, Griffin is already there, and has strangled her to death. Griffin suggests they continue with a different girl. The next day similar events follow as Campbell and his team try to find the next girl before the 9. 00 pm deadline. They corner and almost catch Griffin, but he manages to escape. Campbell is injured during the car chase.

The next day, another photo arrives, but it turns out to be the image of Lisa Anton, Campbell's former lover who was killed indirectly because of Griffin back in Los Angeles.

During the drive there, Griffin explains that he cares a great deal for Campbell, and considers him a "good friend". Campbell secretly uses his cell phone to call Det. Mackie, cluing him in on the situation.

Griffin and Campbell arrive at an abandoned warehouse, where inside Polly has been tied up and surrounded by flammable materials and candles. The two men face-off as the police arrive outside. The struggle culminates with the place catching fire. Campbell manages to untie Polly and get them both to safety before the place can explode. Griffin's corpse is seen with its face half burnt off.
