Do it.

Do it.

Mommy?

Peter?

Rachel.

I thought that you were sleeping
at Lindsay's house?

What are you doing?

You're not supposed to be here
right now, Rachel.

What should we do?

What should we do?

The time is now.

Hey, buddy, you all right?
What's up?

Need an ambulance, hey?

Hey, Gina,
you know CPR, right?

Got to get over here.
The old man needs some help.

Yeah, I wouldn't turn my back
on Prophet, Mick.

You should have called
that ambulance.

Looks like
you're gonna need it.

[Grunts]

Why am I always
the last to know

who's hooking up around here?

[Gina grunts]

Good afternoon, Miss G.

I'm feeling the burn.

Yeah, well,
I've spent the last two days

in the head
of a sadistic serial rapist

for the Milwaukee P.D.

In that case,
don't forget to breathe.

- I wouldn't go in there.
- Why?

Coop is on a private call.

With Fickler.

Ooh, the Director.

California vs. Veronica Day.

She's up for appeal again?

Worse.

Her lawyer filed
for a motion for a new trial

based on my profiling work
for the case.

Your profile?

She influenced
three separate teenage boys

to slaughter
their own parents.

The only person
she ever actually hurt herself

was her own mother,
years earlier.

What's the mistrial issue?

There have been
two other copycat crimes,

boys killing
their own parents

and leaving
the exact same message,

during the ten years
that she has been on death row--

"the time is now."

Yeah, but that came out
at trial.

That's no secret.
Everybody knows that.

Everybody in the public
knows that message.

Well, I used
the word "unique" in 2001

in reference
to her signature.

Her lawyer feels
that these more recent crimes

proves that
she's anything but

and requires a mistrial.

And he has finally found
a judge

who is willing to entertain
his argument.

Along with all the facts
in the original prosecution,

the court has requested
general testimony

on profiling
from someone other than me,

someone who can explain
how it works

and who has no skin
in the game.

And you thought of me?

Wouldn't Aaron Hotchner be
a better choice for you?

Look, Sam, I know
you lead a red cell,

and you sometimes fly
way under the radar,

but you are a fine
representative of profiling.

You have
a commendable record.

There is no one
I would rather have on the stand

explaining what it is
the B.A.U. does.

I see.
Hotch couldn't make it?

No. He's in central Florida
on a case.

Look, you--
you only have to show

that our current
profiling methods

would still uphold
Veronica's conviction.

I'll be on the plane
in an hour.

Thanks, Sam.

I haven't done anything yet.

At least
it's warm here, right?

Warm where?

Los Angeles.

- When are we going?
- You're not.

It's just me
and the Director this time.

What's happening?

You're the senior Agent.

I'm leaving the team
in your hands.

Oh, they're not gonna be
comfortable with that.

You'll get used to it.

I don't know if I want to get
used to them getting used to it.

- Good luck.
- Okay.

Is she the reason
you're going to L.A.?

Veronica Day.
Yeah.

Later.
Be safe.

What should we do?

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

I can't remember the last time
I saw you in a suit.

That's a good thing.

Andy? This is Sam Cooper,
the Agent I told you about.

You have quite a reputation,
Agent Cooper.

- Please, call me Sam.
- Andy Armus.

Andy took over
Veronica's case

for the state
five years ago,

handled her endless appeals.

No one knows the case
better than he.

- Well, I hope I can help.
- I know you will.

What can you tell me
about this Judge Nunes,

other than her clear disdain
for profiling?

She's a bit
of a wild card,

likes to keep things
interesting.

Well,
when it comes to the law,

I don't like interesting.

None of us do, pal.

Mr. Lampl, what brings you
back to court for Veronica Day?

We're all here to redress

an egregious miscarriage
of justice.

That's Leon Lampl.

Leon's been Veronica's lawyer
since day one.

He's not cheap.

No, but as long as cameras
show up, so will Leon.

Hey, Gordon Ramirez.
I don't believe it.

I heard you had retired.

Yeah. What am I gonna do,
Fick, go fishing?

Sam Cooper.

Nice to meet the man
who convicted Veronica Day.

Oh, you know the case?

Of course.
Great work, great work.

Can you believe that
she's arguing for a new trial?

It's ludicrous.

How's the new guy doing?

Well, he's been on the job
for five years.

I wouldn't exactly call him
a new guy anymore.

But if it were going well,

you wouldn't be here now,
would you?

She never looks nervous.

Subjects like her never do.

Everyone please be seated.

Court is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Nunes
presiding.

Good morning.

I have here
Mr. Lampl's motion

for a new trial
on behalf of Miss Day.

The state moves
to dismiss the motion.

Or we wouldn't be here.

I see we have here the current
FBI Director, Mr. Fickler.

Good morning, judge.

You testified
in the original trial

that the defendant had something
your behavioral-analysis unit

refers to
as a "unique signature."

Is that correct?

Yes, um,
every crime scene

had the exact same combination
of M.O. and ritual present.

Except for when she allegedly
murdered her mother--

a crime the state was never
able to link to my client

through ballistics
or forensics.

Leon.
Director?

Forensics and ballistics

do not attract us
to a crime scene.

- We look to behavior.
- Such as?

Veronica
stalked her birth mother.

She insinuated herself
into her mother's life.

She also
hid her own identity

so she couldn't be named
after the murder.

Now, this level of premeditation
was also present

in the murders
she orchestrated in 2001.

So we asked ourselves,

why Veronica would use
other people to kill,

why the unsub couldn't
pull the trigger herself,

why she needed to prey
on these boys?

All of this painted a picture
for the B.A.U.

of a disturbed, manipulative
killer who fed on control.

Now, your honor,
I am entirely confident

that my profile on Miss Day
would still hold true now.

We also have one
of the B.A.U.s top profilers

in the field here to back
the Director's testimony--

Agent Samuel Cooper.

Yes, we're familiar

with Agent Cooper's
rather interesting record--

what's available
of it, anyway.

Aside from several
disciplinary actions,

there seems to be
a few years missing.

Excuse me.

Uh, that is a matter of
national security, your honor.

Your honor can see
an expunged war record

of a star witness
raises some concerns.

All Agent Cooper
can provide us with

is more of the B.A.U.'s
faulty analysis.

The state sold
Jack Fickler's guesses

to the jury...

Regarding the murders.

But, in fact, all they have
is junk science.

Junk science?

I have signed affidavits
from two jurors

that state that their decision
to vote guilty

was based almost solely
on Mr. Fickler's testimony.

Now, if that testimony
is false,

then my client does not deserve
to be in prison at all,

let alone on death row.

Your honor,
we see this time and again

with death-row inmates.

The defense wants to seize
on a single word

to undo
Jack Fickler's testimony.

Believe me, your honor,
one word is not enough.

While I greatly appreciate
your instructions to this court

on what is
and isn't enough,

I think I'll go ahead
and schedule a hearing

and try to decide
for myself.

I'll hear arguments
this week.

[Gavel bangs]

What do you need
for the hearing?

Well, they're gonna want to
know more about your testimony.

And they'll ask Agent Cooper
what process you used

to arrive
at your opinions.

If you need anything else,
don't hesitate.

We are here until Veronica's
firmly replanted on death row.

I need to get back
to my office to prep.

Justice never sleeps, right?

"Justice never sleeps"?

That sounds like
a comic book.

Yeah.

What? What's wrong?

The defense attorney--

he seems extremely confident,
don't you think?

Guys like him make a living
being overconfident.

It's not just that.

In court, he said...

If your testimony
proves false,

not "unsupported,"
not "inappropriate,"

"false"...
Like there was a lie.

Well, I didn't lie,
if that's what you're asking.

I've never perjured
myself, ever.

So if that's what Lampl
is counting on,

this will be
a very short trip.

[Keys clacking]

What?
What's up?

You don't have a desk.

What do you call this?

A table.

Yes, but it functions
as a desk.

You put a computer on it.
There's files.

Yeah, but there's
no personalization--

I mean, none of your stuff.

Why do I need
personal stuff?

You know, Prophet's right.

I mean, what kind of person
doesn't have any stuff?

Are you profiling me?

I mean, you kind of
are always ready

to get out
as quickly as possible.

You know what, Beth?

You profile
just like a fugitive.

Okay.
[Gina laughs]

Huh?

Look, ready to abandon someplace
at a moment's notice.

Yeah, I bet you she's got
a suitcase at the ready too.

- Yeah, look at her run.
- Go on, Beth.

See those people out there
working out?

They don't ask
any questions.

In fact, they barely even
acknowledge that I exist,

and that's fantastic.

[Laughs]

[Cell phone rings]

Hello, darling.
No, I was just leaving.

Oh, listen,
I have to cancel this weekend.

I got to work
on the Veronica Day case.

No, you can still take him.

Ah, Ben won't care
either way.

No. What?

Hello? Hello?
I'm losing you.

Oh, crap.

Ah.

[Sighs]

Oh, man.

Oh, crap.

[Thud]

I can handle a court case
or a threat analysis,

but to handle both at the
same time, I need my "A" team.

- "A" team is right.
- Here you go.

Conflicted as I am
to be compared

to a marginally entertaining
'80s TV show,

what would you like us
to do?

Why are you asking me?

'Cause you're the boss.

I have a job
to do here, Beth.

I need to study the day case
for the hearing tomorrow.

You are in charge
of threat analysis here.

Okay, I just thought that was
while you were away.

It was while I was on this,
and I still am.

Understood.
Got it.

Beth in charge--
way to go, boss.

You don't need
to call me that.

It doesn't matter
what I call you.

You're pretty much the boss.

Have you heard
from Mick and Gina?

- Are you changing the subject?
- I am.

Nice. They're
at the crime scene.

Okay, get an update, please,

and then we'll get set up
in here.

Yes, ma'am.

Vandalism is primarily
a male act.

Breaking a window
takes aggression.

There was no rock
or anything heavy left behind.

So the unsub
brought something with him.

And he brought
a modified newspaper

and paint for the hood.

That's a lot
of preplanning.

So Armus walks
towards the car

from this direction.

He's facing
the driver's side,

and if this window
had been smashed,

he never
would have got in.

He would have seen it,
and he would have gone for help.

And he wouldn't have seen
the hood from there.

The unsub wanted him to get
as close as possible

before seeing the threat.

Aside from
the courthouse elevator,

the most obvious way in
is by car.

But I did find
a maintenance door

on the second floor--
the lock had been jimmied.

So he came by foot.
He brought tools.

He could get in,
and he could get out

without being detected.
He's been here before.

We've had two other boys
that have sat

exactly where you're sitting.

You're not special to her.

Peter, you do not have
to protect her.

Veronica didn't kill them.

I did.

Couldn't break him.
I couldn't break any of them.

So Veronica Day has a radar
for damaged people.

Well, that's
a pretty good description, yeah.

But on the outside
of that,

these kids
are model citizens.

They got good grades.
They're well liked.

They're on their way
to college.

Yeah, which
is how Veronica fit in.

She was charming and kind

and a pretty girl who could make
parents trust her.

Yeah, but we know
that was an illusion.

Well, she's actually
pretty fascinating.

Given up at birth,

she bounced around foster care
until she was 14,

arrested as a runaway at 17.

So when she was
out on the street,

that's where she tracked down
her birth mother?

Yeah.

She took a bus to Sacramento.
Her birth mother was a waitress.

She lied about her age,

got hired as a dishwasher
at the same diner.

A few weeks later,
mom turned up dead.

Shotgun to the head,
just like all the other murders.

Yeah, only this time, she
actually pulled the trigger--

the only time.

I testified
that mom's murder

was the first step in Veronica
developing her signature.

Oh, so the mom's murder
was a cold case.

You were investigating
Veronica,

and her background
brought that around.

The state decided that
there was enough evidence

to link the Oswalt,
Lidge, and Madison murders.

And Veronica was tried
for all of them together.

How many times
did you interview Veronica?

Four...

No, um, five,
five separate incidents.

Was it four, or was it five?
Six, seven?

Five--
46 hours total.

It's on tape
and in the files, Sam.

Why do I get the feeling
I'm being challenged here?

I have to understand

how you, uh,
built this profile,

see if there was something
I would do differently.

By differently,
you mean better?

I'm not saying that.

We have to be absolutely sure
that we're right,

because Veronica's attorney

is absolutely sure
that we're wrong.

What's this unsub
trying to gain?

Veronica Day's freedom?

Why not wait
till after the hearing?

Is this really helping her?

As you know,
threats are not actions.

They're designed to inflict fear
and uncertainty in a victim.

From what I understand,

this Armus guy is anything
but scared, though.

That would make
the unsub angry.

Angry enough
to try something else.

Sure.
Something personal.

I need Armus'
phone number, please.

[Cell phone rings]

- This is Armus.
- Hello, Mr. Armus.

This is
Federal Agent Beth Griffith.

Yes?

My team and I have been asked
by Agent Cooper

to investigate the threats
made against you.

Oh, you mean the vandalism
on my car?

Yes, sir. You don't consider
that a threat?

Some phrase a moron used
that some other moron

wrote on a crime scene wall
ten years ago?

No, I don't consider that
a threat.

Well, we consider that
there's at least a possibility

of an escalation.

I categorically disagree.

We would like to place
a security detail on your home.

Absolutely not.

I'm not gonna drag my wife
and my son into this

and scare the hell
out of them for nothing.

I mean, if I wee-wee'd
my shorts

or ran and hid every time
a threat was made

against me as the A.D.A.,
I would never get my job done.

Good-bye.

[Phone beeps]

- He hung up on me.
- Why?

He doesn't think
he's in any danger.

Based on what?

Apparently he gets
threatened all the time

and something
about peeing in his pants.

As far as I can tell,

you gave the same profile
that I would have.

That's comforting.

It's clear.

She, uh, was recreating
her mother's murder

over and over and over.
Right.

So why do I get the feeling

that you're not satisfied
with this, Sam?

I was actually hoping

that there was something wrong
with this profile.

Why don't you
enlighten me?

Uh, where are you going
with this?

You seem to be getting lost
in your own head.

There's something missing.
I can feel it.

- It's not about your work.
- It is about my work.

My profile is being called
into question here,

and I need your support.

I thought you wanted me
to review the files.

I didn't know you wanted me

to come to some predetermined
conclusion for you.

Oh, come on, Sam.
You know what I'm talking about.

Jack, I-I-I...

I see the big picture.

I can see how it all fits.

I understand you got a lot
at stake here.

But there's something.

I can't quite touch it yet,
but it's there,

and it's waiting for me
to find it.

The big picture that you
need to focus on

is that I am no longer
a profiler.

It is your way of life
that is at stake here.

So figure this out,

or you may be looking
for a new home.

[Dog barking]

Oh.

[Screaming]

Oh, my God!
Oh, no.

I'm--I'm--I'm calm.
Okay.

What--what's happened?
Check Ben!

I'll call the FBI.

Cut the lights.
Keep circling the block.

If this guy's watching us,

I don't want him
to see us overreacting.

Good. Got to keep him
from feeding

off the fear
that he created here.

The unsub came in
through the back door.

He raked the deadbolt.

Pretty low tech, but you'd
have to have the right tools.

I mean, it's nothing you
couldn't find on the Internet.

- Keep this place locked up.
- You got it.

"The time is now."

The techs confirm the blood
isn't even human.

- It's animal.
- So he's mutilating pets?

Or he's a hunter or got it
from a butcher shop.

So the unsub walks
all the way in here

to where his intended target
is sleeping and does what?

He makes a threat.

Why wouldn't he kill them
when he had the chance, though?

Perhaps he's not a killer,
not yet, anyway.

What do I do?

I mean, do I back off
the case?

Another prosecutor
would just take it over.

Doesn't this guy
realize that?

This guy--it doesn't matter
about rationality.

He's so focused
on scaring you

that he doesn't know
where he's gonna go next.

This makes it difficult for us
to anticipate his next move.

May we now place your family
in protective custody?

Agent LaSalle
will remain here

and confer with
the L.A.P.D. officers on patrol.

Agent Rawson will coordinate
your transportation

to and from the courthouse.

Wait.
What about my school visit?

We'll just have to try
to reschedule it.

They could give away my spot
if I don't show up this weekend.

If they do,
they didn't want you

bad enough
to start with, kid.

It's a lot to process.

I know that, and I'm sorry,
but at this point,

we can't take any risks.

Anything we have to do
to protect my family,

let's do it.

[Door buzzes]

Hello, Veronica.

They said you were
an early riser.

Apparently I'm not
the only one.

I get up
at 4:00 a.m. every morning.

I like to feel the sunrise.

You look really nice.

You look like
you don't usually wear a suit.

Well, we all look
different in court--

the bad guys,
the good guys.

It's like no crime
was ever committed

or an arrest ever made
by anyone wearing jeans.

[Laughs]

You mind if I talk to you?

I don't.

But my lawyer might.

He's a very confident man,
your lawyer.

That about sums him up.

Makes me a little nervous.

That's refreshingly honest.

No point in pretending.

You're probably a better
profiler than I'll ever be.

You think so?

Those boys,

they all had
these vulnerabilities

that they were hiding
from everyone,

but you saw them.

I see a lot of things.

Speaking of which,

how are you and the Director
getting along?

I thought I noticed
some vibes there.

That's funny,
a girl like you

always puts ripples
in a family.

Is that right?

[Chuckles]

That sounds
dangerously close

to something Leon
should be here for.

Well, I'm not gonna talk
to you

about any of the murders
at all.

So this is
a social visit?

Not exactly, no.

Then what is it
you do want,

Agent Cooper?

Did you ever tell her?

Tell who what?

When you were working
at the diner...

Did you ever tell your mother
who you were?

You know nothing
about my mother.

I mean, you traveled
all that way on your own.

- You were just this little girl.
- Get out of here.

- How did it feel?
- Shut up.

How did it feel
to meet the woman

that just gave you away?

Leave me alone!
Get out of here!

Okay, it's all right.
It's all right.

I want you
to sit down now.

This is my fault.
She'll be fine when I leave.

I'll see you in court.

[Telephone ringing]

Samuel Cooper, how early
is it on the West Coast?

I just got in myself and have
yet to even inject caffeine.

I need you to get
into Veronica Day's case files.

I thought they already sent
you everything you needed.

Not the bureau files,
the original files,

the case reports,
the trial prep--

all the things
that we didn't see.

Okay, what are you
looking for?

Veronica got
completely upset

when I brought up
her birth mother's murder.

She was cold
about everything else,

but when I brought that up,
she got almost--

almost protective.

So you want me to focus
on the original murder?

Exclusively.

And, Penelope, we do not have
a lot of time.

A hopeless case
with no time--

that's my specialty.

All right, call me
when you get something, okay?

Yeah.

You ever wear
one of these?

You really think
it's necessary?

I think it'll go better with
that suit than a bullet hole.

Excuse me.
Director Fickler?

Yes?

You don't remember me.

Oh, my God.

It's, uh, Peter Lidge's
little sister, Rachel.

Look at you.
You're all grown up.

She won't actually get
this new trial, right?

Well, we will do
everything in our power

to make sure that
that doesn't happen.

I need more than that.

I need to know that Veronica
will finally pay

for what she did
to my family.

That's what we all want.

Thank you.

Veronica Day

suffers from narcissistic
personality disorder.

Her lack of empathy
and delusions of grandeur

result in an inflated sense
of self-importance.

This isn't a hearing
about my client's mental state.

Stick with the original
B.A.U. testimony, Mr. Armus.

That's what's being called
into question here.

With all due respect,
your honor,

Jack Fickler's profiling
of this case was...

and remains irrefutable.

I'm not convinced the actions
were unique, Agent Cooper.

They've been copycatted
many times since.

The shootings, yes.

But the signature, no.

No other combination
of M.O.

or ritual is identical
to Veronica's.

Veronica developed
her signature

as a way
of keeping control...

Of people,
of situations,

of time itself.

And this is all a reaction

to the one time
that she lost control.

You're referring to the murder
of Veronica's birth mother?

Objection.

If Agent Cooper's going to talk
about loss of control,

I think it's only fair
to discuss his own.

How out of control were you

when you were off
the Bureau's radar?

Objection.
Objection, your honor.

You can question
all the things that I've done

as an Agent,

but my life is not
why we're here today,

because I have tried
to make amends

for the things
that I've done,

taken responsibility.

But, Veronica, have you?

Have you taken responsibility
for the death of your mother?

- I didn't kill my mother.
- That's enough, Miss Day!

You're a liar!

Request for a short recess,
your honor.

You're just like Fickler!
You're a liar!

Tell your client
to pull herself together, Leon.

[Gavel bangs]
15-minute recess.

[Cell phone rings]

Cooper?

What do you got?

Uh, Veronica Day
was actually convicted

of killing her mother, right?

It's the only time she killed
by her own hands.

According to whom?

According to whom? According
to the prosecution team.

It's the basis
of our entire profile.

Yeah, there may be
a problem with that.

You don't recall?

You don't recall a statement
from a state trooper

or you never saw it?

Look, I had thousands of pages
of case documents

for the trial.

You think I'm gonna remember
one line item

on a single evidence list?
The only exculpatory evidence?

The one statement that may
still exonerate Veronica

of her mother's murder?

Yeah, I expect
you should recall that one.

I just talked
to the state trooper.

He said that he faxed
that statement

directly to you in '96.

But it never made its way
into trial evidence.

"Neighbor heard
a loud bang

"and then spotted
a dark-haired Caucasian male

"fleeing the building
on 8th Street,

"where
Jennifer Conroy's body

was then discovered
in the stairwell."

Look, what that report
doesn't say

is that the witness
in question

was halfway
through a handle of beam.

Now, maybe she saw a man.
Maybe it was a woman.

Maybe it was a horse
on roller skates.

She was completely,
drunkenly unreliable.

Unreliable
because the statement went

against the case
that you built,

the case that you let me
testify to.

I swore under oath that Veronica
killed her birth mother.

Come on, Jack.

You know how hard it is
to convict someone of murder

when they've never actually
murdered anyone?

- What?
- My God.

Gordon, it is supposed
to be difficult

to put someone to death.

You suppressed evidence
deliberately

in a death-penalty case.

I'm duty bound to present this
to the judge.

It was
a worthless statement.

That's not your call.

It never was.

Coming to you live
from the criminal justice center

in downtown Los Angeles,
where we have just learned

convicted murderer Veronica Day
has been released.

And here she comes.

Veronica, how does it feel
to be free?

I want to take
this opportunity

to thank the FBI.

Their tireless work
and dedication

are the reason
I'm standing here now.

So, thank you, Agents Cooper
and Director Fickler,

for setting me free.

Veronica Day thanking
the same people

who put her behind bars
nearly ten years ago.

A very dangerous woman
has just walked out the door,

and it's my fault.

You were lied to
by Ramirez.

All right,
how did I miss it?

- I don't know.
- What does that mean--

that you never would have
made the same mistake?

- She's free?
- Rachel.

- She can't be free.
- I am very, very sorry.

How--how can this happen?

The only murder that she
was actually convicted of

was her mother's,
and new evidence--

Her mother?
What about my mother?

What about my father?

You know your brother
wouldn't say that it was her.

All right?
None of the boys would talk.

None of them
would betray her.

I'll say she did it.

I'll say she told Peter
to shoot them,

that--that
I heard her say it.

But you didn't.

I can say that
I just remembered it,

that--that there was
post-traumatic stress.

Put me on the stand.
Rachel.

She can't get away
with this.

- Perjury is a crime.
- I don't care.

Look, we will find a way
to get her back into custody,

but not like this.

We are not risking you
going to jail yourself.

How can you let
this happen?

If Veronica
hurts someone else,

I'll never forgive myself.

Where do you think
she's going?

[Sighs]
I don't know.

I don't understand.
She's just free?

I can't believe this.

Wait. You can figure out
your strategy here, Andy.

Please, just come home.

Because there's a lunatic
on the loose

who's threatened our family,
and I don't know--

I thought you might choose
your wife and son

over your work
just this once,

but I guess that's just
too much to ask.

I'm sorry
you had to hear that.

No, it's fine.
We're here now.

And we're gonna keep
you safe.

I'm gonna check on Ben.

- You gonna call Cooper?
- Yes. He's must be devastated.

Oh, my God, his backpack's
missing, his shoes.

He's gone.
Ben's gone.

We've got to figure out
what Veronica's next move is.

Wait.
What is this?

It's a letter
from Peter Lidge.

It says she wouldn't be
in prison

if he had killed
his sister Rachel that night.

I think she's going
after Rachel.

[Knock on door]

Hi, Rachel.

Remember me?

FBI!

- Rachel, come here.
- She confessed.

- She confessed?
- She told me everything--

how she convinced my brother
that my parents hated him.

She helped my brother
get the gun.

She said
it was all her idea.

Is that enough
to convict her?

I needed to tell Rachel
that I was responsible.

Yeah, that's enough.

[Handcuffs clicking]

Hey.

Your parents were supposed
to bring you here, right?

Well, it is
parents' orientation weekend.

I want to come here
in the fall.

Do you know
what sound irks me

more than any other sound
in the whole world?

The beeping of a pager...

Those old school PDAs.

It was a little
electronic box

that was always beeping
my father away from things

that were far more important
than me.

He was a doctor.

Actually, he was
a world-renowned neurosurgeon.

And the difficulty
in that is,

you can't complain
that he's not there for you

when what he's doing
is operating on people's brains.

So what did you do?

I'm embarrassed to admit
I had a bit of a bad-girl phase.

I would do anything
to get him to notice me,

just to focus.

And one time,
he caught me in the garage

smashing his pager
into a thousand pieces.

Needless to say,
it never beeped again.

I never did write on the wall
in pig's blood, though.

I'll give you that.
It has a certain panache.

How'd you know?

You didn't hide the receipt
from the butcher's.

You wanted us to know.
You wanted him to know.

Well, what happens now?

It depends upon
whether your father

wants to press charges
or not.

Do you think he would?

I think your mother's
gonna intervene,

but we have to talk
about counseling.

And that's what you did?
You went to counseling?

I did.

And when my father was pushing
me to go to medical school,

I told him I wanted to be
a civil servant.

I wanted to work
for the government.

- You really fought back.
- Yes.

- Just like art school.
- Sure, but without the color.

The FBI is seriously...

Gray upon gray
upon gray upon gray.

Look at us.

In our natural habitats.

Natural costumes,
anyway.

I like you better in that.

Thank you.

It'd be weird for you
to say the same,

but it's true.

This is the costume
that fits.

Is that why
you confessed to Rachel...

'Cause you think
you belong here?

I belong on death row
for what I did.

I caused a lot of people
to be hurt...

And families destroyed.

But not your mother.

I never hurt her.

I wouldn't.

I wanted to know her.

"The time is now"...

That's about...

not telling her
when you had the chance,

right?

I was going to.

I was working up to it.

Someone took her away
again from you.

So I guess
I didn't want anyone else

to have a happy family.

That's the profile, right?

That's part of it.

The other part
takes into account

who you are right now.

Who's that?

A young woman
who wants to get redemption

for something she did
when she was a little girl.

Someone who needs
to see that...

The one part of herself
that's good

is the part that's been seeking
forgiveness all this time.

I'm gonna reopen
the investigation

to find
your mother's killer.

We've got
some strong leads...

Really.

I will see you later,

Veronica Day.

See you.

[Gina laughs]
Shh, quiet.

She's coming.

- What happened?
- Nothing.

Why do you look like
you used my toothbrush

to clean the toilet?

Did you?

[Laughs]

♪ We've come closer
than we wanted ♪

If you're gonna be
the boss sometimes,

you might as well have
an actual desk.

♪ We will not be
the same ♪

♪ we'll never be the same ♪

This is the first time
I've ever seen you

not know what to say, Beth.

It's just--

Just--just say,
"thank you, man."

Thank you, man.

[Laughs]

You gonna move
some stuff in now?

What is it
with you and stuff?

I don't know. You could have,
like, a photograph

or maybe, you know,
a nice green plant.

- [Laughs]
- How is a plant "stuff"?

- Oh, just take the plant.
- Okay. Thank you.

You clean your toilet
with a toothbrush?

No, I didn't clean
my toilet with a toothbrush.

I had abusive roommates
in college.
