Case 4: Crimson Creek

1

Nikita: Entropy... it must remain hidden.

Redmond: Take care of this... I don't want to be implicated.

Nikita: They found the body... and I think they might find out about the chemical testing.

Redmond: Your employer said you were his best... I'm starting to doubt that.

Nikita: Watch yourself, Redmond... you're just here to finance us.

Redmond: Is that a threat, Mr. Volkov...?

Nikita: I've done missions across the world for our boss... I've brought down Mexican Cartels... I've created weapons that kill even the most powerful of men leaving no evidence behind... none at all. Don't test me.

Redmond: This better stay hidden, or the Volkov name will be no more... Until we meet again.

Connecting the Dots...

It seemed like the engineer's motive was to kill low-paid members of society, so he found a partner in crime; the supplier. The supplier came early in the morning, took Karen, and delivered her to the engineer by hiding her in the truck. The engineer struck her and used cleaning agent to clean the tools and hide the evidence. He then disposed of the body in the river through the chemical lab's disposal. Both the engineer and the supplier have been detained.
