Just ask him.

Let's let stuff in.

Morning, Billy.

Morning. Home invasion number five. Three in Birmingham, one in Charlotte

the past six weeks.

What's the special about this one? First one, that's murder.

Multiple jurisdictions.

The Bureau wants to focus it, so they kicked it over to us.

Bryce Nichols. One of Buckhead's wealthiest and his son, Edward.

I have an alibi, I swear.

Jewelry, some silver was taken, nothing else was touched. Whoever did this knew

exactly where to find what they were looking for.

No prints.

Anything taken at the previous invasion? We're getting an inventory.

There's no blood pooled near the bodies.

Everything's removed after they were killed.

What about the graffiti?

It's a constant at all these home invasions.

No forced entry.

Who found the bodies?

Security company alarm was triggered.

On patrol was he in less than four minutes.

Very precise.

Probably one meticulous tactician and a couple of people following orders.

What's that all about?

We know more.

How's family life, Bailey?

What are you doing? How's it feel sleeping with an 18 -year -old?

What are you talking about?

Keep away from my daughter.

Francis?

You think I'm sleeping with Francis?

I lost these months ago. Where'd you get my keys?

Bailey, I am not sleeping with your daughter.

She's lying.

You see?

One bullet to the temple.

Royce Nichols was shot in his bed.

Brain matter was found on the sheets, and the gunpowder traces showed that it

was at close range.

Now, the strange thing is that he was dead before his body was dragged out

the living room and stabbed.

And he fell?

Same thing. Both victims were stabbed six times post -mortem, and the stabbing

was very precise.

Like a ritual.

The same wounds on both bodies indicate a dissociated act.

No passion, but clearly a purpose.

Right.

Your presence is requested in a conservatory.

Okay, I'll be right there. Thanks.

I won't be long.

Roy Sickles, 52, largest stockholder in Milford and Robards tobacco.

Talking Fortune 500, hangs with Ted and James. You're used to it.

Used to it.

Widower since 74.

His wife died of lung cancer.

Victim number two, Edward Nichols, Royce's 25 -year -old son.

He's an all -American kid, just finishing law school at Emory.

There's another son.

Oh, yeah, just getting to that.

Philip Nichols. He would now be 28. He disappeared 10 years ago.

Philip could be dead.

Well, until we confirm that, he's a suspect.

After their mother died, Philip and Edward were raised by a nanny, Rebecca

Pennywise. Whereabouts, unknown.

Let's find her. What about the graffiti?

Yeah, I spent some time in Alabama. They're similar to Birmingham's 16th

gang tags.

The gangs are within striking distance of all five crime scenes.

How do we explain no forced entry?

Somebody could have given the house keys to the gang.

Talk to the help.

Marcus, hit Birmingham.

Check out the 16th Street gang.

I'll go with you.

Yeah, that'll keep me from being noticed.

Tracked on Philip Nichols. Pressure's intense on this.

When one of their own is murdered, the rich panic and people listen.

What's up?

I'm here to see Fat Cat.

I already gave him a shout out. Just tell him off.

I hear you want to help me find the brothers that busted the cap on that

king down in Atlanta.

We just want to know about the bustdowns.

Look, man.

I have enough heat on me without someone pointing to my brothers for something

we didn't even do.

There was 16th Street gang graffiti all over the crime scenes.

People copy Picasso, baby.

It's not so hard copying tech.

And my homies don't waste no time stabbing nobody after smoking some

Not that they be going out blowing nobody away.

Well, if it isn't your guys, why are you so interested?

Because I don't like nobody copying my art.

Well, we're going to put them out of business.

Lay odds I get to the bad guys before you do.

Kinda does look like a

Picasso. There was a lot of publicity about the graffiti at the other home

invasions. Whoever killed the Nichols copied that graffiti.

Figuring it would throw us off.

You saw how much gold Fat Cat was wearing.

These guys aren't gonna waste their time cutting up dead bodies when they could

be stealing valuables.

George, you wanna...

Yeah, we just got these in.

Birmingham invasions and the Charlotte invasion.

Wow, whoever tore these places apart didn't know where the goods were.

And they didn't kill anybody either.

Whoever killed the Nichols didn't commit the previous four invasions.

The Nichols wasn't a robbery spree. The killers left behind a fortune.

It was about precision and ritual.

The Nichols crime was specific to the victim.

Okay, so Fat Cat may not have been involved in the Nichols murders, but

still not off the hook for the other four invasions.

I don't want Fat Cat, Skinny Cat, or any other damn cat finding the Nichols

killers before we do.

That cat isn't going to back off.

His idea of justice is an eye for an eye.

Guys, I just got the forensic test back from the Nichols crime scene.

Not only were the cuts on both victims by the same knife, they were probably

done by the same person. Even though fingerprints weren't found, we could

by the pressure points and the patterns of stabbings.

With only four minutes before security showed up, why would you send in one of

your guys to perform an act with no payoff?

And why have one cat do both bodies?

Ritual?

Well, that sounds neat.

All right. I promise I will read you a story tonight.

All right, Claude. I love you.

When's the custody hearing with your in -laws?

Uh, well, first the judge wants us to see a court -appointed psychologist.

She's only eight years old.

You know, kids are stronger than we think.

Yeah, but what about their mothers?

Is there anything you need, Sam?

I know.

We know what it is to lose a

child, Dr. Mason.

And we feel the pain of it every single minute of every day.

But Samantha can't control this murderer named Jack.

And we feel it's our responsibility to protect Chloe.

This man murdered our son, Doctor.

Our only son.

And we know that he's killed other people who are close to Samantha.

We cannot allow our granddaughter to become a target.

I understand your concerns, Mr. and Mrs. Waters.

How can you protect Chloe?

There isn't anything that I wouldn't do to protect my daughter.

Of course not.

Look, I know what this meeting is about.

You're going to ask me questions and try and determine what kind of a home Chloe

is living in.

Yes.

Surely you must recognize that I am not an abusive mother and that she does not

live in a neglectful home.

I know you have made your home very secure.

There are FBI agents stationed outside around the clock.

There's bulletproof glass on all the windows.

And you've built a playground for Chloe in the center of your living quarters.

How do you feel about that?

It's pretty cool. We have cameras in every room. So they can make sure we're

okay. Do you like going to visit your grandma and grandpa's?

Sure. I have a pony there named Snowy.

And my friend Sadie lives close.

We used to live next to Sadie.

So that man took my daddy away.

You remember that?

sent Jill on up the hill because he wanted her to kill.

Call me as soon as you get there, my pet.

Case WO -4695, Waters vs. Waters.

Based on the report of Dr. Elizabeth Mason for the health and well -being of

child, Chloe Waters, it is the judgment of this court that custody be

temporarily turned over to the paternal grandparents, Helen and Charles Waters,

who reside in Richmond, Virginia.

The court believes that they are most capable of protecting the child without

turning her home into a prison.

At a future date, the court will review this case.

How you doing, baby girl?

Mommy, I don't want to leave you.

I know you don't. It's going to be for a little while.

How come we can't all live together?

Me, you, Angel, Grandma and Grandpa.

Well, because we have our house and Grandma and Grandpa have their house.

You know, before you know it, you and I are going to be back together again.

Promise? I promise.

I love you, Chloe.

See you soon.

All right.

We'll be together soon, Chloe.

What the hell is she doing with him? That's crazy.

I know, but I'm telling you, I saw Francis get into Lou Handelman's car at

'clock in the morning.

Come up with something, Brother John.

It doesn't fit.

There's nothing I want more than to get your daughter out of my life. But my

keys disappeared from my desk at the Atlanta PD.

Francis gives them to you. Now she's hanging out with my old boss in the

of the night.

I don't know what the connection is, but I'm going to find out.

Bailey Malone at Bailey.

Thanks for coming.

You, uh, sure you want the lady to see this mess?

The lady's a federal agent. She'll be fine.

Ma 'am.

When the daughter came home, the door was open. She figured something wasn't

right, so she went down the road and she called us.

There you go, sir.

And we found it like you see it.

Where's the daughter now?

She's outside the house with my men.

Immigrants often don't trust banks.

Where were the victims from?

He worked in a casino near Hong Kong until four months ago.

Money could be hot.

Money, but not the Buddha.

Buddha's different.

There's an icon, a family shrine.

It's a person.

Why don't you talk to Laura?

Okay.

Can you? Mm -hmm. Thank you.

Samantha Waters. I'm with the FBI.

We're going to find out who did that.

And I need to ask you a question.

Did you or your parents know anyone named Nichols from Atlanta or Royce or

Edward Nichols?

No?

Okay.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Major Malone.

This is Andrew Young.

Kathy's older brother. We got him up from Atlanta.

He's willing to identify the bodies.

Andrew, your sister is safe.

So you have to go through this.

Team Young.

Ick to you.

Kathy needs me.

What'd you say to her?

What do you say to someone who just lost her child?

Here.

If I hadn't brought you into the BCTF, you wouldn't be fighting this battle of

the folly. I'm sorry, sir. Bailey.

I'm growing up.

Besides, this isn't even about Chloe.

Tom's parents have never accepted the fact that he's gone.

They're just trying to replace him with her.

Victor Young, his wife Kim and their daughter Kathy followed Andrew here

the changeover in Hong Kong.

We checked out the casino Victor worked and it's definitely mobbed up.

The murder could be a retaliation if the money in the mattress belonged to the

casino. The nickels show no connection to the casino, the mob, or the youngs.

The M .O. of the young murders matches the nickels' murders exactly.

Same bogus graffiti, bullet to the head.

There were six precise stabs to each body post -mortem. One knife, one person

stabbed both victims.

Did the same person stab the nickels and the youngs? No, it doesn't seem so.

Where'd the nickels' eyes go? There they were.

Different people are executing one person's fantasy.

Perfecting it with each murder.

The details have been refined from the Nichols to the Youngs.

The Nichols were found with their eyes closed.

I believe that the Youngs' eyes were opened after they'd been shot.

The fantasy has evolved to the point where the killer wants to look the dead

victims in the eye throughout the ritual.

Okay, so what do we know about Philip Nichols?

Yeah, he drifted from job to job. About three years ago, he closed up his

checking account, went little there was, moved out of his apartment in Orlando,

sold off his stuff, and vanished into thin air.

There's been another murder.

Rebecca Pennywise, Nicholas's nanny, was just found dead in her apartment under

cap. Shot in the head and stabbed repeatedly.

She was the boy's surrogate mother.

Families.

The invaders are killing off entire families.

Kathy and Angela are in danger.

They're staying in Atlanta at Anfield.

Let's go.

this place.

No sign of Ender Young.

Until I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I don't think I'm going to make it without a quote.

The judge said it was temporary.

I heard what the judge said.

Do

you think

that I'm a good mother?

You are an incredible mother.

Do you think that, Chloe?

Do you think that she feels safe?

Of course she feels safe.

You give your child more love and protection than anybody in the world.

Well, except anybody in the world doesn't have Jack in their lives now, do

Even without Jack, there are no guarantees.

There are parents who love and protect their children.

Then that child stops at the side of the road to change a tire and is killed.

You used your talent to protect your daughter.

Right now, you have the means to catch Jack and all those other monsters out

there so that no one will ever hurt you or Chloe or anybody

else you love ever again.

I just miss her.

I know.

I miss her. I miss her.

Andrew Young's in lockup downstairs.

What'd you find him?

Closing out his bank account.

We've got him for 48 hours, then we've got to charge him or kick him loose.

Right now, he's our only suspect.

So what's this guy's story?

Put his job two months ago and hasn't had one since.

Andrew, I don't know if you remember me.

My name is Samantha Waters.

I would like to help you.

I understand that you must be suffering because of what happened to your sister

Kathy and your parents.

But I would like to ask you a few questions.

I understand that you came out to this country before your family.

Moving out here all alone must have been very frightening.

You must have missed your family.

Do you remember?

This is not my family.

Do you have a family?

What the hell is she doing?

EMDR, eye movement desensitization reprocessing. This kid could have

dissociative amnesia. It's a common disorder among people who've been

cult programming.

You mean he's being brainwashed?

Yeah.

George, find out all the information you can on Cokes in Atlanta, Birmingham,

Chattanooga, the whole southeast.

Is that all?

We don't have enough to charge Andrew, but I'll be damned if I put him back on

the street. We've got to find out where he hangs, we knows.

We found these in Andrew's apartment.

Hey, how's it going?

With me.

FBI.

Some place we could talk?

Yo, my man.

Say yes.

Is Andrew okay?

What effort we're trying to find out now.

Brother doesn't talk much.

Angie's a pretty quiet guy.

When was the last time you saw him?

It's been a couple months.

He got involved with some people.

Well, what kind of people?

Andrew called them his family.

Is that a cult?

I guess.

Well, where is this family?

I don't know.

I never met any of them.

How did Andrew meet them?

One of those motivational seminars.

How to make all your wishes come true.

Andrew met someone there who brought him to his so -called family.

Well, you know who runs this family?

The father.

It's like my family.

in a closet and I'm not in a drawer.

I could have you arrested for invasion of privacy, you know.

Until this morning.

He was seen in Lou Handelman's car.

You had me followed?

Don't change the subject.

First you spy on me, and now you're searching my room. This is the subject,

FBI.

I don't believe you slept with John Grant.

I don't care what you believe.

I talked to John.

Look, if you want to believe him over your own daughter, fine.

His keys were stolen out of his desk at Atlanta PD.

And you've been seen with Handelman.

Those two things are connected. I'd like to know how.

Francis, maybe you're too old for me to rescue you.

But I'm your father and I can't help myself.

Because I love you.

So when you fall,

I have to pick you up.

Let me help.

Hey, um... Detective Handelman...

He made me say that I was sleeping with John,

and, um... When I told him that... He would not believe me. He, uh, gave

me those keys.

And, um... He said that if I told anybody that...

You know, he would kill my probation and... He'd

make sure that I'd go to jail.

Why? Why does he want to bury me?

You didn't give Francis a reason.

You think he's pissed because you left his department.

I thought I knew Lou.

He's a goal -oriented guy.

He was after something specific.

We don't know what he's after. We don't have anything on him except for Annie's

word, which isn't worth much against his.

Get someone on him.

You got a couple of hundred years. I can give you cults from people who worship

Zybaba to my Bubba.

So what are we looking for here? This cult has an assassin mentality.

The leader is probably a loner. He doesn't want any physical contact with

victims. I don't know, maybe he hated his family and he's now vicariously

killing them over and over by having his disciples kill their family.

The scum and the disciples are parasites.

They show that self -help seminars for recruits. How do they target recruits?

It's like antelope at the watering hole.

The lion locks on to one.

He senses its weakness, its vulnerability.

Print out a list of self -help seminars in the area.

For the envelope.

This is just a knock at the door. Do not engage.

We'll follow up the surveillance later.

Up.

Up.

Feel the mentation through your feet.

Now hold.

Let your energy flow.

You are... Breathe.

change in your pocket.

I want those long green bills.

I don't want the money you can afford. I want the money you're saving for a

rainy day.

That's the American way.

It is the curse of the 90s.

We have more to do today than ever before, and we have less time to do it.

Today, I'm going to give you a miracle.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Isn't it amazing how even in a place like this you can feel alone?

I know a better way.

What do you mean?

I'm going to a group meeting with some friends.

Oh, I'm Maureen Hughes.

Why don't you come along with us?

Or you would find it very meaningful.

Oh, I couldn't mess with a guy now, huh?

Maybe some other time.

The opportunity is now.

I don't know.

I promise it's safe.

Are we failing to take each and every moment that God has given us?

Yeah, good.

Thanks a lot, man.

Come on.

This is our new Minister of Intelligence, Odin.

This is, uh, Cerberus.

Can I get you anything?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

Are you?

Are you fine?

Oh, yeah.

Please, have a seat.

Well, the ride was kind of bumpy, but... Why did you blindfold us?

Well, Sarah, the world is very dangerous.

We all have to protect ourselves.

Don't you fear for your safety?

Yes, I do.

Sarah, tell me, do you ever feel that the people around you don't speak or

like you do?

Yes.

Doesn't it make you feel lonely?

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

Sarah, everyone here felt just like you.

Except here, we take our knowledge from the Father.

And that gives us a common bond of strength, love, and unity.

Who's the Father?

There are beings at a higher level, Sarah, who have a far greater capacity

helping us than we have for helping ourselves.

Well, how would I meet the Father?

You must demonstrate your unconditional love and devotion by ridding yourself of

all attachments.

We have a disciple who is getting ready to move to the next level very soon,

which means there's an opening for a new disciple to enter the experience and

begin her work.

And what did you do to get to the next level?

Why'd they let you go?

Difficult to influence or turned away. It's not time efficient or cost

effective.

Difficult? Me?

Look, if we find that compound, we can get Philip Nichols and the rest of these

losers.

Tim, how long did it take for you to get there?

About four hours, but they could have been driving in circles.

Andrew Young knows where it is.

He's not going to tell us anything.

He is completely shut down.

Even though he's given us nothing, I think that just by being in custody, he

feels as if he's betrayed the family.

But there's got to be a way to get it out of him.

If he's released, he'll go right back to the fold.

Bailey, I'm afraid they're getting ready to murder his son.

This is Marcus's turn to pick the music.

Andrew just turned left on Far Road, and he's headed back towards you.

Got him.

He's going into the phone booth on Fara.

What's this, John?

Westpacers Ferry.

This is the third phone booth he hasn't made a call.

Maybe he thinks he's Superman.

You know, each one of these phone booths have graffiti.

It's a code telling him where to go.

Here we go. He picked up something and he's headed towards a black line.

Got it.

Billy, this is all wrong. Something's wrong. John, stop.

Stop!

At

least

19 adults were present at the time of the explosion.

The house was pre -rigged to explode.

Why? The disciples thought they were being protected from outside dangers,

the explosion was probably the father's escape hatch all along.

He may have been trying to transport himself and his disciples to another

Well, at least he's not on this plane anymore.

You never know.

Maybe he destroyed this cult so he could start up another one somewhere else.

We don't know if Hitler really died in that bunker or went to Brazil.

we'd let him die with rest.

Acceptance by some cult leader is more important than life. It's frightening.

Meatsy said that life was the search for the father or the search for home.

I'm glad some searches are so misdirected.

Dr. Waters, would you like to address the court before I pass final judgment?

Thank you.

Your Honor,

while it is true that children living in Cabrini -Green and the South Bronx are

not as safe as children living in Beverly Hills or Buckhead, our society

not take children away from their parents simply because they do not live

perfect environment.

We all know the importance of a mother's love.

Everything that I do is for the love of my daughter.

I have dedicated my life to protecting Chloe and making the world a safer place

for her to live.

Every day I work with brave people who have dedicated their lives to making the

world safer.

But unfortunately, there is no such thing as absolute safety.

There is, however, absolute love and absolute devotion.

And these are the things that my daughter and I have for each other.

Breaking up our family will not make Chloe safer.

It will only create emptiness, loneliness, sorrow, and tears.

Four years ago, Chloe lost her father.

I can only hope that this court will not take her from her mother.

Thank you.

Mom, have you seen my other slipper?

Oh, uh, hello?

Are you supposed to tell me a story tonight?

You promised me a story. I did?

Uh -huh. Okay.

Let's see.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named... Chloe

Waters.

And... Her mother loved her very much.

Sir, flight 817 landed at Richmond International three hours ago.

I need you in the command center

now.

George, run these.

This woman was stopped last night at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport.

She was about to board a plane to Richmond, Virginia.

The same plane as Sam's in -laws, Helen and Charles Waters.

We put Helen and Charles on round -the -clock surveillance. They should be

She was impersonating Sam.

Disappeared while the check was being run.

She was going to kill them.

Jack's trying to protect me.

Her name is Sharon Lesher.

Thanks, Joe.
