  • Complete Monster: Richard Thompson, aka Big Bad Marcus Andrews, the titular Serial Killer, was a forensics expert who was convicted by Lincoln Rhyme after planting evidence that resulted in six innocent people being imprisoned, with one of them hanging themselves. After being let out of prison six years later, Marcus, driven by revenge towards Lincoln, abducts people by posing as a taxi driver and surgically removing a piece of a bone, for Lincoln to use as clues, and puts them in life-threatening scenarios, giving Lincoln and his partner, Amelia Donaghy, barely enough time to save them before they die a horrific death. While Amelia saves a young girl that was tied to a pier, Marcus goes to Lincoln's house, killing the police captain and Lincoln's caretaker, to confront him. Blaming him for the abuse he suffered in prison, Marcus attempts to kill Lincoln before being shot down by Amelia.
  • Narrowed It Down to the Guy I Recognize: Leland Orser isn't cast in a film like this just to play a useless background character. And he doesn't.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Michael McGlone (a.k.a. The GEICO Question Guy) playing one of the detectives in a Star-Making Role.
