[Music playing on car stereo]

[Girls laughing and chattering]

Oh, I love this song.

[Laughing]

Turn it down. I don't
want my parents to hear us.

You're already busted. Your mom's
been blowing up your phone with texts.

Yeah. She hates when I break curfew.

At least it was worth it.

Ha ha.

Later bitches.

Bye.

See you, Mandy!

[Whispering] Damn.

[Alarm clock buzzing]

Daddy?

Mom...

Aah!

It's just a little something.

For me?

No, not for you. It's for Roxy.

But you have opposable thumbs,
so you can open it for her.

Wow. Biscuits.

Yeah. They're all organic.

Human grade. Quite delicious,
if I do say so myself.

Uh, plus...

It's a sweater.

Oh! Isn't it amazing?

It is... Amazing.

What was that?

Huh? What was what?

You paused.

No, I didn't.

You don't like it.

No, I didn't... I didn't say that.

Oh, you might be a profiler in training,

but I'm a profiler by association,

and I can tell a lie when I hear one,

and liar.

Ok. I'm sorry.

It...

It's the biscuits.

You know, Roxy, she's
on a raw food diet.

Oh.

They're mostly peanut
butter, but my bad. Ok.

But this is great, huh?

Y-yeah. This is...

This is amazing.

It is.

And very, very thoughtful.

It was, wasn't it?

It was. Thank you.

You're welcome. Roxy's welcome.

I can't wait to see her in it.

- [Text message]
- Oh.

We got a case.

The Bergstrom family was killed

in their home in Winona,
Minnesota, last night.

Mother, Father, and little boy,

all shot execution style.

Any suspects?

Therein lies the mystery.
The Bergstrom family

was as low-risk as they come.

What about murder-suicide?

That was ruled out.
There was no murder weapon

found at the scene, and both
Bridget and Scott Bergstrom

were shot in their bed.

But there was a survivor.
A teenage daughter.

17-year-old Amanda.

She was out past her curfew
at the time of the murders.

And she's the one that found the bodies.

It almost seems like a hit man scenario.

Maybe a mafia retaliation kill?

But that doesn't seem
likely in Winona, Minnesota.

But it does seem like a revenge killing.

If the unsub expected to
wipe out the entire family,

he screwed up big time
leaving Amanda alive.

Unless she had something to do with it.

That's a question mark, but according
to the M.E.'s preliminary report,

she can't be the shooter, based
on alibi and time of deaths.

On the surface, they
were a well-liked family,

living a low-risk lifestyle.

The daughter Amanda, where is she?

Protective custody,

in case the unsub sees
her as unfinished business.

- We good?
- Mm-hmm.

We fly.

Reid: "The malicious
have a dark happiness."

Victor Hugo.

Bridget and Scott Bergstrom
grew up in Winona

and have deep ties to the community.

Scott was a local
distributor of farm equipment.

Bridget cut hair at a salon in the mall.

Yet they were murdered
by a family annihilator.

Sad but true. The Bergstrom family

had their share of dirty laundry.
Though who of us does not?

Scott developed a Vicodin
habit a few years back

after a skiing accident.

So he could have been in
over his head with his dealer.

So Bridget was having an affair?

Yeah. I looked at their financials.

She's got a credit card
secret just in her name,

with charges to a motel just
outside of town, and nothing else.

She might have cut things off,

causing him to go off the deep end.

Can you get us a name?

Yeah, I'm already into it.

You'll have lover boy's I.D. asap.

What about Amanda, the sole
survivor? Any motive there?

Deep sigh. [Sighs] I hate
that you're asking that.

And deep sigh again, I am bound
by duty to report the facts.

There's a modest insurance policy.

17-year-old Amanda is the beneficiary.

$100,000.

That would seem like all the
money in the world to a teenager.

People have been killed for a lot less.

That's an unlikely motive for the
daughter, but we can't rule her out.

Whatever set this unsub off, he
made the whole family pay for it.

Ok. JJ, Spencer, Emily,

you go directly to the crime scene.

Luke, you're with me. We'll
set up H.Q. at the local P.D.

Unsub entered on the second floor

through the cut screen.

He had to be physically fit.

He knew the house well enough to
know this was the room to enter.

He went straight to the parents' room.

He wanted to remove the
greatest threat first.

Prentiss: Based on
the bullet trajectory,

he was standing here at the
foot of the bed when he fired.

He wanted to stare at
them both before firing.

And that woke Bridget up.

[Screaming]

She was attempting to flee
when the unsub shot her.

Oh, no! [Screaming]

[Gunshot]

Did he enjoy watching
her terror and panic,

or was it inexperience on his part?

Bridget's scream...

- Aah!
- [Gunshot]

is probably what woke Kevin.

So the unsub heads down the hallway

where Kevin is coming
out of his bedroom.

Mom?

Dad?

And he runs into the unsub.

Who are you?

[Gasps]

So it seems this unsub
knew who lived here

and where each person slept

implying a personal
connection to the victims.

In spite of the home invasion,

there's no sign of burglary,

so he's mission-oriented.

He's highly organized and sophisticated.

The big question is Amanda.

Did he think she was home,

or did he deliberately
strike when she was out.

We need to talk to her.

Poor kid was so distraught,
we took her to the E.R.

They ended up sedating her.

She'll be coming around soon.

I've got a deputy stationed outside
her room over at county general.

Good. If the unsub wanted to
wipe out the entire family,

she could be in danger.

What about the wife, Bridget?

We heard she might be
stepping out on her husband.

Yeah, that was an open secret.

She was seeing Ron Ferguson.

They met at the gym. He was a trainer.

Was? What happened?

Sticky fingers.

Ronnie got caught stealing
personal items from lockers.

They called us over, but
nobody pressed charges.

Just sent him packing.

Ferguson sounds like bad news.

He's no altar boy.

Couple of DUls and a
few assault convictions.

Bar fights, mostly.
But nothing like this.

You don't think he's
involved in this, do you?

The guy's got a temper
and he likes to drink.

That's not a good combo.

Where is he now?

Living off unemployment,
just outside town out by I-90.

Let's go talk to him.

So, knocking on doors kind of
remind you of fugitive hunting?

Yeah, a little bit.

That was a... that was
a one-man show, though.

And this is a team sport.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, that could take
a little getting used to.

A little bit, yeah.

This is it.

Rossi: Ronald Ferguson.

FBI. Like to ask you a few questions.

[Indistinct]

Where do you think you're going? Huh?

This takes me back.

I didn't do nothin'.

We want to know about Bridget Bergstrom.

I don't know, it was messed up.

But I didn't have nothin' to do with it.

Bridget and me broke up a while ago.

Ok. Where were you last night?

Out at the CC club... in town.

My buddy Steve got in a fight, got cut,

so I took him to the hospital.

What about afterward?

I was there all night.

Waited with him while
he got stitched up.

I didn't get home till almost 6 a.m.

And there were security
cameras in the waiting area.

You can check.

We will.

That's the truth.

No matter what that little liar says.

Who are you talking about?

Amanda.

Bridget's kid.

She knew you were having
an affair with her mother?

Yeah. And she blackmailed
me for almost a year.

Threatened to tell her dad all the time.

Amanda acts all innocent,

but she's always working some angle.

I was supposed to be home by 11:00.

That's my curfew.

But there was a party
and I stayed all night.

My mom, she was really mad at me.

She texted me...

Sweetie, she wouldn't
have stayed mad at you.

Ok? Please believe that.

She said she was disappointed in me.

That's the last text she sent.

And I ignored it.

Teenagers break curfew. It's normal.

I'm sure she loved you very much.

Amanda, we need your help
to find whoever did this.

We need to ask you some
difficult questions, ok?

Ok.

Ron Ferguson said that you
knew about him and your mom.

Is that true?

Yeah.

He said you threatened to tell your dad

about the affair.

Well, that was just to
keep him away from my mom.

I didn't really want to tell my dad.

I didn't want him to know.

How come?

Because of the pills?

Yeah.

Yeah, after my dad broke his leg,

he got addicted.

And, um...

It was really bad for a while.

And that's when your mom
started having the affair?

He was always yelling,

at everybody,

even Kevin.

And my mom and him almost split up.

Then he worked really hard to get clean.

I didn't want to tell him about Ron

because I didn't want him to give up.

He was doing N.A. and everything,

and he was doing really good,

and then my mom even thought so,

and so when he got his 6-month chip,

she broke up with Ron.

How did Ron feel about that?

Ok, I guess. I mean, I'm pretty sure

he was already seeing someone else.

Things were just starting
to get good again.

I thought I was getting my family back.

Why did this happen?

Why is my family dead?

Just got off the phone with Garcia.

Ferguson's alibi checks out.

I can't even begin to imagine it.

Her whole family gone
in the blink of an eye.

She's devastated.

Ferguson seems to think that Amanda

was some kind of conniving shrew.

Well, Amanda may well have
been hostile towards him,

but for good reason.

She wanted her parents to
stay together. Typical kid.

She was candid about what went on.

She was genuinely baffled
by who would do this and why.

Agreed. That last text from her mom,

that one's gonna haunt her.

Rossi: What's gonna happen to her now?

She has an aunt and uncle in Seattle.

They flew in today. So it sounds
like she'll be going home with them.

We know Ferguson's way too disorganized

to pull this off, so
where does that leave us?

The family had their problems, but
they were getting back on track.

And yet someone wanted this family dead.

But it doesn't make sense that they'd
be targeted by a family annihilator.

What if it's not about this family?

What if it's just about families?

So the Bergstroms could be surrogates.

Meaning our unsub will
probably strike again.

[Dog barking in distance]

Man: Hey.

[Clatter]

[Barking]

[Dog yelps]

[Clatter]

[Barking, yelping]

[Thud]

[Woman screaming]

[Gunshot]

[Ringing]

911. What's your emergency?

Please help.

There's someone in my house.

He's shooting.

Sir, I can't hear you.

If you're unable to speak,
just press any button.

Are you there, sir?

[Beep]

Ok, we'll track your phone

and send someone to your address.

[Siren]

FBI!

Body down.

JJ: I have two bodies down back here.

Alvez: Let me see your hands.

Let me see your hands.

JJ: You're safe now, Matthew.

You're safe.

Matthew, we want to find who did this.

So if there's anything you
can remember seeing or hearing,

anything at all, it could help us.

What you did, calling
911, that was brave.

JJ: That call saved your life.

Anything?

He's traumatized.

I heard him walking.

Then he stopped.

He was in my room.

Right there.

Why am I alive?

Why me?

Wish we had an answer for him.

He's right. The unsub must
have known he was there.

If he was in that bedroom,
he would have seen the puddle,

just like Alvez did.

The unsub deliberately spared him.

But not out of compassion.

He wanted them to feel the
pain of losing their families.

I think we've inverted our victimology.

We've been focused on the
murdered family members.

We should be focusing on the survivors.

They are the real victims,

the ones the unsub wants to hurt.

We believe the unsub is a variation

of what we know as a family annihilator.

The garden variety family annihilator

is usually a narcissistic male patriarch

experiencing psychological stress.

This causes him to become
homicidal and then suicidal.

His narcissism often manifests as rage

directed at a specific family member,

prompting him to
murder the entire family

as an act of punishment and revenge.

He then blames the object of his
rage for his violent outburst.

Once the entire family is dead,

the patriarch typically commits
or attempts to commit suicide.

But this unsub is murdering families

that are not his own.

[Gunshots]

There's a distinct punishment
component to the annihilation

that's driving this unsub.

He's more organized than the
typical family annihilator,

with greater impulse control and
a high level of sophistication.

His sophistication is apparent

in the fact that the object of his rage

is deliberately spared
rather than murdered.

[Screaming]

This allows the unsub the satisfaction

of inflicting ongoing psychological pain

on the object of his rage.

We're looking for a male
in his late 20s, early 30s.

He's mature and highly intelligent.

Amanda Bergstrom and Matthew
Doherty may be surrogates

for individuals who wronged the unsub

when he himself was an adolescent.

Amanda and Matt both attend
Pillsbury High School,

and we have not identified
any other connection

between them or their families.

Pay close attention to the faculty

and administrators of the high school.

A lot of the parents are wondering if
we should shut down the high school.

The school itself has not
been a scene of violence.

Closing it would not deter this unsub.

We need you to beef up
patrols and warn the public

of the ongoing danger.

And we ask you to encourage

the entire Pillsbury
high school community

to report any suspicious
individuals they may encounter.

Ok, that's it.

Hi, folks.

Thanks for showing up.

We will be holding
these forums every day,

before and after school,

and I encourage all
students and parents to come

as often as you want.

Now I'll turn it over to Mr.
Bakken, our school counselor.

Thanks, Mrs. Dahl.

We welcome all members
of our Pillsbury family.

I'd like us all to start
by acknowledging the hurt

that each and every one of of
us has experienced this week.

Students, if you're here with a parent,

please turn to him
or her now and just...

Just label your feelings.

Sad, scared, depressed, angry.

Whatever you're feeling.

Seriously?

I told you this would be stupid.

We don't want to label our feelings.

We want to know what you're doing
to protect our families and our kids.

We are in constant contact
with law enforcement,

but we just don't know
anything more than you do.

Then what are we doing here?

I want you to know that school
is a safe place for your kids.

I don't need some loser
in a cardigan sweater

telling me my kid's freaked out.

I need to know the son
of a bitch who did this

is going to jail.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Laughs] Good one, Austin.

Ha ha! What are you looking at, loser?

Ha ha ha. Oh, man.

Shall we?

[Beep]

Boom, baby.

Rossi: What's up, Garcia?

Do you have any idea how many selfies

the average teenager posts on
social media on any given day?

I'm gonna tell you
before you say anything.

So many. And like the guys, too.

Actually, some studies indicate that men

take twice as many selfies as women

'cause it's considered to be an
acceptable form of male vanity.

How many pictures of
yourself do you really need?

And they're basically
making the same expression...

Oh my God.

Am I officially not young?

You, my dear, are the
portrait of everlasting youth.

I'm timeless, right. Good answer.

Ok. Back to my point.

I have been drilling into
the social media footprint

of both of our adolescent survivors.

Any connection between Amanda and Matt?

Yeah. Stay with me while I
go around here for a second.

So, basically, both
of their Facebook pages

are just an outpouring of love
and support from their peers.

And it's touching, really,
and it's very reassuring

for the hope of our species.

What did you mean, "basically"?

In between all the wonderfulness,

there's a tiny tributary
of nasty comments

from some of their peers,

saying that Matt and Amanda
got what they deserved.

Well, they're kids. Kids
can be cruel and thoughtless.

Right. But we all know that cruelty

is sometimes inspired
by previous action,

which made me wonder
what Matt and Amanda

might have done to
provoke some of their peers

to saying some of these
things on their Facebooks.

So I looked into their school records,

and both Matt and Amanda
have complaints against them

for "harassing behavior."

They're bullies.

Were they disciplined?

No. To paraphrase the
Violent Femmes song,

nothing went down on
their permanent record.

So the victims were also victimizers.

If the unsub was bullied
himself as a teenager,

that could be the
original narcissistic wound

that's fueling his present day rage.

Turning his surrogate
victimizers into victims

is the point for our unsub.

Bullying leaves lasting scars.

Our unsub could be a teacher
or staff member at the school

who seems himself as
an avenger of students

who are current victims of bullying.

Someone who punishes the
bullies when no one else does.

From the unsub's point of view,

the bullies themselves are
responsible for the violence

he's perpetrating
against their families.

We need to dig into the backgrounds

of the teachers and
staff of Pillsbury High

and identify anyone who
was bullied as a kid.

Already got digital shovels
already throwin' up dirt.

We also need a list of any
other known bullies at the school

so that we can warn and
protect their families.

Oh, here's something.

There is a school counselor
there named Eric Bakken.

Not only is he the school administrator

who's in charge of handling bullying
complaints from the students,

but when he was 15, he
was charged with assault.

He was arrested. He claimed he
was provoked by a long-time bully,

but the charges were dropped.

Let's get him in here.

In theory, our community has a
zero tolerance policy on bullying.

But not in practice.

In practice, most of the bullying
that goes on at Pillsbury High

never makes it to my door.

Why not?

Coming forward requires courage

and a willingness to claim the pain.

That's hard.

And sometimes, I'm sorry to say,

can make things worse for the victim.

It must be hard for you
to see kids being bullied,

knowing you can't do
anything to stop it.

It is.

It must make you angry.

Angry?

Yes.

I bet some of these
kids were best friends

with the people who
started bullying them

in junior high and high school.

That's right.

And it only intensifies
the pain for them.

Was that your experience

when you were bullied?

It was.

My best friend all
through elementary school

and junior high.

All of a sudden he
turned into a popular kid

and I didn't.

He never targeted me directly,

but he also never stopped
his new cool best friend

from tormenting me.

At first I fought, with my fists.

But that doesn't solve anything.

It just landed me in more trouble.

I've worked through my own experience.

I had to in order to
work in a high school

so I wouldn't project my own
experience onto any of the students.

That sounds very healthy.

Thank you.

It was hard work,

but well worth it.

I know I can't help every
young person who needs it.

And I know I'm a joke

to lots of the students.

But I do help some of them,

and that makes everything worthwhile.

Is Bakken our guy?

No. He has none of
the rage our unsub has.

But he did give us some names.

Garcia sent the addresses of 6 students

to your phones.

They're the most notorious
bullies at the school.

Now, they and their families
are in immediate danger.

We need to warn them.

All right, let's go.

We've got 5 families safely
in protective custody.

Good.

That's the house up there.

The front door's open.

[Crying] Austin. Austin, my son.

My boy.

My boy's dead.

That's my boy.

Please help him.

M.E.'s preliminary time of death

confirms that we
couldn't have missed him

by more than a few minutes.

There's extreme overkill here.

Victim was shot 6 times
and then bludgeoned.

He's decompensating.

Alvez: Or evolving.

Yeah, he doesn't care
about the family anymore.

He's going straight for the bully.

Reid: Hey, guys.

Austin's room.

The other murders, the unsub
left the homes undisturbed.

Well, it certainly looks like this

is what he bludgeoned the victim with.

He could have left it in the
living room with the body,

but instead he brought it back in here

and destroyed Austin's
other sports trophies.

Yeah, you know, everything about this,

the overkill, trashing the room,

going after Austin's prizes,

it fights against our
profile of mission-oriented

organization and impulse control.

He's more stressed now.
He knows we're closing in.

It's more than that.

His behavior reads juvenile.

Our unsub isn't an adult,

he's a child.

I can't believe there's a
psycho murderer out there.

I mean, nothing ever
happens here, and then this.

It's so weird.

Yeah. Maybe he's not a psycho.

Seriously, dude?

You know, I heard that
Matt cried in the closet

when his family was getting killed.

For real?

Yeah.

Where'd you hear that?

What difference does it make?

I don't know. It just makes you
feel sorry for him, that's all.

What?

His whole family got killed.

And from ninth grade
until about a week ago,

Matt Doherty made your
life a living hell.

I know, but still...

No wonder you're a punching bag.

Do you even remember why we
started the Anti-Terror Squad?

To help protect each other
from bullies in school.

And we said the bullies are
terrorists. Do you remember that?

Yeah, but the Anti-Terror
Squad is just a name.

It's just something we made
up to feel less pathetic.

We're not the pathetic ones.

They are.

Zach, they are terrorists.

God.

You know what some politicians say.

The best way to handle terrorists

is to take out their whole families.

That's messed up, man.

Nobody's family deserves
to die like that.

Not even the families
of real terrorists.

Pull over.

Why? I can just drop you at your house.

Yeah, I'd rather walk.

[Beep]

Garcia, we need the records

of every student at Pillsbury

who filed a bullying complaint

against Amanda Bergstrom, Matt Doherty,

and Austin Settergren.

Also, anyone who received counseling

for being bullied by those students.

Wow. This is a really big pool.

I've got 27 names.

Prentiss: Any of those
students bullied by all 3?

No.

Like Bakken said, most
victims never come forward.

So I'm seeing the tip
of a really big iceberg.

Nobody wants to be a snitch.

Also, bullying is often so
widespread, it's normalized.

It would only amplify the
unsub's feeling of powerlessness.

But he didn't actually say
he killed anybody, right?

He practically said it.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

What did he say exactly?

He said Amanda and Matt
deserved what happened to them.

I feel really bad about
what happened. I do.

But for like a nanosecond
I thought the same thing.

Don't judge. I already
feel guilty enough about it.

I get what Kyle's talking about.

I mean, just because something
awful happened to them

doesn't make them good
people all of a sudden.

Amanda's still Amanda.
Her and all her friends

have been really mean to
me since like fifth grade.

So, you don't think I should
tell the cops about this?

We gotta tell somebody.

No, we don't.

People are dead.

But if you're wrong, you
could ruin Kyle's life.

Think about it. He could get railroaded

by all the hysterical
nut cases in this town

and the star of "Making
a murder," season 8.

If Kyle's off the rails,
we need to tell somebody.

Hey.

No one told me that
the Squad was meeting.

Oh, it's not really a meeting.

It kind of looks like one.

So, please, I don't want to interrupt.

What was that about
Kyle going off the rails?

The pool of suspects is still too big.

Garcia, can you cross-check
the names you pulled

with any mentions on
social media of bullying?

Oh, there's a boss idea.

I'm gonna do that right now, and...

Oh, this is interesting. I
pulled up 6 names from my list,

and they all belong to
a private chat group.

Some kind of bullying support group?

It's called the Anti-Terror Squad,

but, yeah, that's exactly what it is.

It's an apt analogy.

Ongoing bullying would feel like
terrorism to those experiencing it.

They warn each other
about which stairwells

and bathrooms to avoid on any given day.

They walk each other to and
from school. That kind of thing.

I tell Henry school's a safe place,

but for these kids it's anything but.

Are there any mentions of
retribution or payback, planning?

No. But there's a lot of content here.

I'll do a keyboard
search. It'll take a while.

Ok, so these kids took back some
of their power by banding together.

They call themselves
the Anti-Terror Squad,

so they see themselves as righteous.

The unsub may be one
or all 6 of these kids.

Garcia, I need you to
locate their cell phones.

Sure. Um...

They're all in the exact same place.

All 6 of them are in a
classroom at Pillsbury High.

Alvez: All right, look,
there are 5 cell phones here

and there are 6 members of the club.

Garcia, what have you got?

These kids would never
voluntarily leave their phones.

Whoever's still got
their phone is our unsub.

If his friends turned on him,

the unsub would experience
that as a huge betrayal.

He's been killing for them
and he's just discovered

they're not grateful to him for it.

Ok.

The kid whose phone isn't here

is Kyle Ecklund. He's our unsub.

But there's no signal.

What do we know about him?

Bare bones biographical details.

He's an only child. Mom
left him as a toddler.

His dad's an alcoholic.

That explains why he's mature.

Without a reliable caretaker, he
was parentified at an early age.

And now he's switched
the focus of his rage

from bullies to his own peer group.

The family he's seeking
to annihilate has expanded.

Yeah, but if he wanted to kill them,

why wouldn't he do it
here? Why move them?

He's making a statement.

Zach: You don't have to do this, Kyle.

I didn't have to do any of it.

I did this for you, Zach.

And you, Megan. Sam, Ryan, Josh.

I did this for every time

that we got tripped
or punched or spit on.

I did this for me.

Megan: Please, Kyle!

Shut up! Keep walking!

Kyle Ecklund has been
bullied for a lot of years

by a lot of kids. I mean a lot of kids.

He unleashed on Austin Settergren.

What did Austin do to him?

Let's see. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Ok, so Austin was the ringleader of
a particularly horrifying incident

that happened a few years back.

We need to know where it happened.

It happened right there at the
basketball courts at school.

This place is a maze.

Garcia, can you guide us?

Absolutely.

Where are we going?

We're going to the court.

Come on, Kyle, you don't
want to go back there.

Oh, shut up, Zach.

You don't know what
the hell I want, man.

I thought you did. I
thought you were my friend.

But you are just like everybody else.

I'm sorry, Kyle. I'm sorry.

You will be.

You're under arrest! Stand down!

Stay back!

I've got a gun. I'll use it.

You do what you have to do.

I'm ready.

[Crying]

Shut up!

Prentiss: Nobody's moving in, Kyle.

Nobody's gonna shoot you.
You are not in danger.

I know that I'm not getting out of here.

I am ready.

That's not how this has to go, Kyle.

I know what happened here.

I know what Austin did.

Girl: You're a loser, Kyle.

Are you ready?

- [Laughter]
- Yeah! Yeah!

I said, are you ready?

[Cheering] Yeah! Yeah!

Here we go.

Austin, please, please don't.

- Girl: Go on, get him.
- Boy: What a loser.

Yeah! Yeah!

Let's do it again.

Yeah!

[Indistinct voices in crowd]

Boy: Get him, Austin!

[Sirens approaching]

I know they left you out here all night,

and you weren't found
until the next morning,

and that nothing happened to
the people who did that to you.

You don't care.

Nobody cares.

I do care, and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about what happened to you.

But nothing ever changes.

Mr. Bakken is a joke.

Everything he does just
screws everything up.

I know. You're right.

Bakken failed you. Everybody failed you.

And they made everything worse.

But, Kyle, what you're doing now,

this makes everything so much worse,

and I know you don't want
to be responsible for that.

I know you don't really
want to hurt your friends,

the only ones who truly
understand what it's like.

You're better than this.

Kyle, please let me go.

Reid: "Freedom is what you do
with what's been done to you."

Jean-Paul Sartre.

Heh. What's this?

It's a present for Roxy.

Are you gonna do this every day?

Although I am generous to a fault,
every day would be beyond the pale,

and I am nothing if not moderate.

I was just thinking about how your Roxy

probably saw some pretty intense stuff

while you were with the Rangers,

and maybe a pink
sweater isn't her thing.

Not that pink isn't super bad-ass,

just sweaters are restrictive
and this may be more her jam.

Hey, this...

This is dope.

You like it?

Yes. Thank you.

Roxy thanks you.

Oh, good. I knew I'd
eventually get it right.

Feels good to get it right.

I may not be able to prevent myself.

From random acts of dog kindness.

Not every day, mind you,
because that would be excessive.

Oh, yeah. And you're
the queen of moderation.

I am the Queen of it.

We're heading to O'Keefe's
for a drink. You in?

Oh, hell, yes. I'm ready to
call ahead for my margarita.

Luke, you joining us today?

No. This one doesn't do the
whole bonding over drinks thing.

I'm in.

What? Oh, you're not fooling me, Alvez.

He just wants us to think
he's a smoldering basket

of mystique and contradictions.

I don't buy it.

Hey, I just want a beer.

Well, there may be a
glimmer of hope for you yet.

But just so you know, the new guy pays.
