Patrick Dion and Mark Mallory are the main antagonists of the Rizzoli & Isles novel "The Silent Girl". Dion and Mallory are a duo of serial killers and rapists of teenage girls across Massachusetts, including Dion's daughter Charlotte, resorting to more murder to cover up their crimes once they're investigated.
Biography[]
Dion repeatedly raped Charlotte starting when she was nine, which would carry on for five years. Charlotte blamed her mother Dina for not protecting her, as she was having an affair with investment firm agent Arthur Mallory, eventually divorcing Dion and leaving Charlotte in his custody. Dion eventually met Arthur's son from a previous marriage, Mark, and they made an alliance to target other teenage girls. Finding them in the academic and extracurricular activities Charlotte participated in, Dion and Mark would pick the ones they wanted to snatch, while constructing materials for cages, binds, and torture weapons in Dion's basement to set up a lair at his estate in Brookline. When Charlotte was thirteen, each time she grew a year older, Dion and Mark kidnapped a teenage peer of hers the same age as her at the time. The girl would be held captive in Brookline, raped, brutalized, and eventually killed, the girls being buried together on the grounds of the property after they died. The two tortured and murdered four girls across Massachusetts by this pattern, but it wasn't enough, and they raped and killed at least two more girls within the same timeline. It all began to unravel when Charlotte used Dion's car to drive to the Mallory house, where she found wedged in a seat a golden dragon pendant belonging to Laura Fang, one of the missing girls. She went to Dina and Arthur and told them about her being raped, then her suspicions about Dion since she knew Laura and other girls were missing. Dina was in disbelief and wanted to deny it for her ego and reputation, but Arthur was genuinely supportive of Charlotte and afraid for her safety. He made Dina agree with him to speak to Laura's father James, at his workplace in Chinatown's Red Dragon restaurant, where he worked as a waiter. Mark stayed with the family that day and overheard everything, tipping Dion off. The two of them stormed over to the restaurant while the Mallorys and James were meeting, and they shot everyone in sight: the three shocked parents, Joey Gilmore, a customer coincidentally with Irish mob ties, and Wu Weimin, the Chinese-born restaurant cook. Wu was framed for the massacre when it was staged as a "murder-suicide", but Dion and Mallory missed one person at the scene: Mei Mei "Bella" Li, the only survivor, daughter of Wu, and a family friend of James through Bella's mother, Annie, and James' widow, Taiwanese martial artist Iris Fang. Wu told Bella to hide while everyone else present was shot. Bella sought refuge with iris and told her the truth, Iris and Bella swearing to secrecy about Bella's presence at the scene to protect her.
Iris wouldn't let the murders go, putting out a personal ad demanding justice over the massacre, and sending obits and photos of the victims every year on the anniversary of the shooting, with messages demanding the victims' loved ones believe as she did Wu is innocent and to care about the truth. However, the cops easily accepted the setup, and Chinatown was smeared with racist propaganda regarding Wu's blame for the massacre, burying the case for the next nineteen years. But before that, Charlotte knew at Dina and Arthur's funeral that Mark was the accomplice and mole. As she had nowhere to go for safety, she spontaneously decided to disappear herself during a class trip on the Boston Freedom Trail. She left her backpack in an alley, took a bus to Maine, and found work in cabin housekeeping once she renamed herself Susan. Susan married Joe Patten, whose family owned one such cabin, and had children with him. Dion did his due diligence of redirection, hiring a PI as a smoke screen, but Susan stayed hidden for nineteen years. But when Susan saw the ad Iris left in the paper, she was inspired to give all the info she had. She called Detective Lou Ingersoll, one of the primaries on the mass murder, and told her all she knew about Dion, Ingersoll discreetly traveling to Maine to meet her under the ruse of a fishing trip for his retirement. Ingersoll agreed to protect Susan by not involving her, but he attracted Dion's and Mark's attention when he went all across Massachusetts to investigate missing teenage girls' cases and gather a list of possible victims to find a pattern and bring Dion and Mark to justice. The two killers finally decided to kill Ingersoll and iris for being liabilities, but they never knew Susan was the victim who started the investigation, or that Bella was the witness to the massacre.
As Iris was classically trained in wushu, her primary martial arts discipline, Dion and Mark knew they couldn't take her on, so they found contracted assassins who were paid handsomely to kill Iris and Ingersoll. As the killers needed to know what the witnesses knew, they told the assassins to bug the Ingersoll and Fang homes so the calls could be recorded. Both of them noticed they were being watched, so Ingersoll became more cloistered, and Iris prepared her secret weapon she worked with for vigilante justice: Detective Johnny Tam, another one of her star pupils who was the newest addition to Boston PD's homicide squad. Tam would wear the mask of The Monkey King, a fabled Chinese legendary warrior who fought powerful violent forces amidst his own complicated scruples. As the assassins were closing in, Tam finally showed when one, a redheaded woman, made her move to try and kill Iris. Tam was too quick to be shot by her, cutting off her hand holding the gun and slitting her throat with Zheng Fi, Iris' prized family Damascus combat sword. The assassin was found when a tour group in Chinatown found the woman's hand in an alley. Because the attempt was a failure, and the police questioned Iris because her dojo, Dragon and Stars Academy of Martial Arts, was one of the locations in the assassins' GPS, the killers threatened Iris to buy time, impaling a family photo of the Fangs to one of her bed pillows with a kitchen knife. When the families of the victims united at Dion's estate, Dion acted like the voice of reason pulling the letters together, accusing Iris of being a justice-crusading, delusional wannabe. Mark acted especially angry as part of the ruse and lied she wanted attention. As Ingersoll grew more paranoid, he called Detective Jane Rizzoli personally and told her to come to his house for more answers once he knew she was on the investigation. When that was picked up on the bug, the remaining assassin shot Ingersoll dead in the house, Rizzoli giving chase when she narrowly caught site of him. She was shot in the back, albeit protected by her Kevlar, and was about to be shot fatally, when Tam arrived in costume to cut off the assassin's head in the nick of time, shortly before fleeing.
Dion continued to put on the ruse of oblivion and cooperation when Rizzoli searched Charlotte's personal effects for answers, tracing the disappearances of the girls. As the walls were closing in on Dion and Mark, they finally made their move while the police were suspicious of Iris and Bella, knocking Iris unconscious in her home and kidnapping her. They chained her in the basement of the estate they constructed, Mark interrogating her with threats of using Zheng Fi to killer, even terrorizing her with admitting he tortured her daughter to death. When Rizzoli went back again to identify how Charlotte came into contact with the other girls, Dion roofied the coffee he poured for her and chained her in the basement too. The two confronted Iris and Rizzoli, discussing their plans to stage Rizzoli's murder as well, texting her husband, Agent Gabriel Dean, to placate him. But as Iris had a tracker and they were waiting to see if the witness would show, it backfired when Bella and Tam arrived, cutting the power in the house. After they left, Bella unlocked and cut all binds, while Tam dueled with Dion and Mark with Iris and Bella close behind him. Tam shot Dion dead and staged him like Wu was as a jeer at him and his crimes. Mark was still alive, and when Rizzoli arrived and got her gun back, he was near shooting her. When Tam appeared dressed as the Monkey King, his attention was diverted enough Rizzoli shot Mark several times, before Tam fled and an ambulance was called for Iris due to a bullet in her thigh. Although Rizzoli caught onto Tam being the masked vigilante, he, Iris (once she recovered), and Bella were free to go. The remains of the girls were unearthed from the property, and Rizzoli tracked down Susan, who filled in the rest of the missing details for the case to be closed.
