10 The Bone Collector Questions | Movies Trivia Quiz

Answer: Murdered Cop

We are shown this crime scene as a flashback to the day when Lincoln Rhyme was paralysed by an oak beam falling onto him and breaking his spine at the C4 vertebra. It is the only time we see Denzel Washington (who played Lincoln) walking in the whole movie.

Answer: True

His therapist thought he wasn't getting 'what he needed' out of the relationship - Amelia wasn't ready to commit to him.

Answer: Buy a camera

Amelia delegated the job of buying the camera to the kid who called the cops (Chris). She then went on to stop the train while he bought the camera, and when he returned she took photographs of the scene. She used a dollar bill to identify the size of the perp's footprint, and she bagged up the staged evidence left on the track because it was close to dripping water which could have ruined it.

Answer: Woolworth Building

This was made apparent by the ground oyster shells found at the first crime scene. According to Lincoln's research (dating from when he was a forensics cop) this particular area of New York used ground oyster shells in the foundations of some of the buildings (which is how Pearl Street got its name).

Answer: True

Amelia went home in distress due to the horrors that her first experience in forensics work had entailed. She took the phone off the hook, so Rhyme had to send someone round to her house in order to contact her. Upon receiving no reply to his knocks, Solomon tried to get into her apartment via a window. Amelia heard him and, thinking it was a burglar, flipped up the blind with her police issue weapon drawing a bead on his head.

This prompted him to later tell her, "Don't shoot the messenger".

Answer: Eddie Ortiz

Part of the staged clue discovered at the first crime scene was old earth (or so it appeared). When analysing the 'earth', Eddie Ortiz discovered that it had an unusually high nitrogen content. He remembered that old manure has a high nitrogen content, so this suggested an old stockyard or slaughterhouse.

Answer: False

Lincoln himself was the last target of the perpetrator. The little girl and the old man were captured and tied to the base of an old pier. When running this crime scene, Amelia discovered the vital clue leading her to Lincoln - his police number in altered number plates on a train in a disused station.

Answer: Queen of Puzzles

Thelma was the one who was able to rearrange the scraps of paper found amongst the staged clues into the shape of a lady's head. This was the publishing logo on the book 'The Bone Collector'. In the book, Amelia found depictions of all the crimes they'd found so far. By looking at the final image in the book, Amelia was able to deduce where the old man and the little girl were being held.

Answer: Marcus Andrews

Marcus Andrews used to be a cop in Syracuse. He had planted false evidence to ensure the conviction of suspects who he thought were guilty. He was bitter because Lincoln Rhyme had written an 'expert opinion' which ultimately led to his own imprisonment.

Answer: His Family

Rhyme had cut himself off from his family after his accident. Amelia made contact with Rhyme's sister and invited her to come and see him.
