All language subtitles for Criminal Minds (2005) - S08E09 - Magnificent Light (1080p WEB x265 FreetheFish)

Your life is about to end.

You will all die.

In your remaining time on Earth,
how do you want to live?

As a bright and shining star?

Or as a lost soul passing time?

Do you want to live in darkness

or reveal your magnificent light?

Today you will all be reborn
as your true selves.

We are all born with a unique gift.

And your only job here on Earth,
your only job,

is to share that gift.

Only then, only when we have shed
our magnificent light on this world,

will we experience real purpose,

real fulfillment and real joy.

Let me tell you something about myself.

I spent 12 years of my adult life

absolutely miserable
because I did not use my gift.

How many of you are living false lives?

Maybe you're an accountant.

But somewhere in the dark
recesses of your mind, there's a tickle.

And that tickle
is a reminder of your gift.

Maybe it's a love for painting.

A love that you have had
since before you could even talk.

Isn't that right, Cynthia Strobl?

You could be the next Picasso.

Why have you deprived
the world of your gift?

And what about you, Ralph Pritchard?

Do you really want to listen
to your insufferable boss another day,

or are you ready to start
that business you've been dreaming of?

Isn't it time for you
to unveil your gift and take action?

Right here, right now,
that's what we're gonna do.

Let's get started!

I still can't believe this.

I never, not in a million years,

thought I'd ever get to
meet you in person.

-And then you called my name and...
-Cynthia.

The pleasure has been all mine.
Now do me a favor.

Go out into the world
and show them your gift.

Oh, I will. I promise you.

Goodbye, Cynthia.

That was the last one-on-one, Barry.

There's some more folks
waiting for autographs.

Not now.

I need my private time.

When will you be back?

Okay. Whatever you want, Barry.

Sorry, folks,
Mr. Flynn is late for a meeting.

So take that first step now.

Be ready for resistance.

Others will try to stop you.
Don't let them.

Don't permit them to discourage you.

Don't allow them to stand in your way.

Tell them to trust you
and glorious things will come.

Oh, my God, what are you...

"Derek, would you do me a favor
and say a few words at the shindig?"

Hey.

"The honor of your presence
has been requested

"by Her Majesty's ambassador
in bestowing Jason A. Ryder

"the title of honorary commander
of the most excellent order."

This is from the British embassy.

-Garcia, do you mind?
-I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

I saw the fancy invitation
and I couldn't help myself.

We never get glamor here.

It's like shoeboxes
to a hoarder.

-Well, you can just forget about it.
-Why?

'Cause I'm not going.

But isn't Jason an old friend of yours?
I've heard his name before.

And who's gonna give
the speech if you don't?

I don't know, but it's not going to be me.

We love the British, remember?

Can we just drop this?

I can go with you.

Nobody is going.

-I'll wear my contacts.
-What'd I say?

Who do I wear my contacts for?

Two people have been brutally stabbed
in Seattle in the last two days.

Lincoln Bell, 28,
he was found on Friday night.

And then Cynthia Strobl, 42,
her body was found last night.

Both of them were killed
in their own apartments.

Police are sure it's the same killer?

Yes, because the same
message was left behind.

"Hear your evil, see your evil."

Isn't the phrase supposed to be
"See no evil, hear no evil"?

Yeah, it certainly changes the meaning,

which is supposed to be
about remaining virtuous

even when you're surrounded by evil.

Well, the question is,
did the killer just get the phrase wrong,

or was he trying to send
a completely different message?

The killer could have been
a non-native English speaker.

But this syntax doesn't help
identify his first language.

And the other question is,
who is this message for?

Is it a taunt to the police?

It could be used to justify the murders.

You know, if you take the words literally,

if sounds like he's speaking
directly to the victims.

Was the message written
with the victims' blood?

The lab results aren't back yet.

Are there any witnesses?

It doesn't look that way. Which
means the entry to the apartments

was planned and methodical,

but the actually killings
seem chaotic and disorganized.

Maybe the UnSub knew them
and took the time to plan his break-in,

but once he got close,
his rage took over and he snapped.

You know, one thing's for sure.

With at least 30 stab wounds
to each victim,

this UnSub sure has a lot of anger.

We need more answers.

Let's head to Seattle.

Oh, my God, what are you...

"A great deal of talent
is lost to the world

"for the want of a little courage."

Sydney Smith.

There's doesn't seem to be
a connection between the two victims.

Different gender, race, age.

And they lived
in different parts of the city.

Yeah. Lincoln Bell worked
in ticket sales at El Portal Auditorium

for the last three years.
Cynthia Strobl was an accountant.

She moved to Seattle a year ago.

It's unlikely they would
have ever crossed paths.

Unless Cynthia bought a ticket
from him at some point.

According to his mother,
Lincoln's dream was to be an architect.

If he wasn't working, he was studying.

And Cynthia liked big band music
and lectures at the museum,

so the one thing
they did have in common

was very low-risk lifestyles.

Okay, I've confirmed that Cynthia
lived in a security complex,

the kind you need
a special key fob to get in.

And Lincoln was living
in a studio apartment at the top floor

of a six-storey walk-up.

So the UnSub
had the intelligence and the patience

to get past the security entrance.

He either used a ruse or
he blended in with the other residents.

And he had to be in good physical
shape to kill Lincoln Bell.

So, he bypassed
easier victims and potential witnesses

to commit these murders.

He was mission-oriented.

Someone went out of their way
to target these two people.

You know, looking at these crime scene
photos, there's not a hint of remorse.

This UnSub was determined
and relentless,

like he couldn't kill
these victims enough.

And the different typology means
they weren't surrogates for anyone.

So each victim probably did something
separately to incite the UnSub's rage.

But it must have been
the same trigger that set him off,

because the murders were so similar.

So, they had something in common
outside of low-risk lifestyles.

We need a point of convergence,

either a person or a place between
the UnSub and these two victims.

Cause of death
was massive haemorrhage.

Both the carotid
and the femoral arteries were severed,

in addition to the other stab wounds.

There's no signs of any other
injuries or of sexual assault.

Were the arteries cut first?

It's hard to say, but it's very likely.

The first victim, Lincoln Bell,

he had the same targeted lacerations
to those arteries.

The other stab wounds,
they seem more random.

So the UnSub knew
the best way to kill them,

but he stabbed them multiple times
afterwards to express his rage.

There's also something else
that's unusual.

These stab wounds have
a curvature to them.

They weren't made
with an ordinary straight blade.

What sort of knife did he use?

Based on my measurements, they
were curved sort of like a half circle.

Like a mezzaluna.

Does a mezzaluna look like this?

Not exactly.

The knife that made these wounds
probably had a vertical handle at least

six inches long in order
to get the leverage for the depth.

You know, it looks like
a ceremonial weapon of some sort.

I agree.

These killings could be sacrificial.

-Agent Hotchner.
-Yes, sir.

Detective Harrison Chen.
Thanks for coming out.

-This is Agent Blake.
-Pleasure.

Lab results are back.

It's not blood on the walls.

Killer used a red paint that's widely
available in hardware stores.

Paint belong to the victim?

Nothing turned up in our initial search,
so...

If the UnSub brought the paint with him,

that means the message
was also premeditated.

It could be a forensic countermeasure,

like the messages
in the MacDonald case.

Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald was convicted
of murdering his family.

Supposedly he left messages
to convince authorities

that hippies had done it.

Hmm. Uh, we spoke to the neighbors.

Apparently Cynthia
was gone all evening.

No one knows where she was
or when she came home.

Seems she's quiet, kept to herself.

The UnSub could have followed her
home or been waiting for her here.

Hotch, take a look at this.

The CD player was left on.

You are about to embark on
the greatest adventure known to man.

That adventure is your own life.

She was there
before she was murdered.

So where is Mr. Flynn now?

You haven't told me
what this is about yet.

Check the Vari-Lites.
There was a weird shadow last night.

We need information about these
people. Do you recognize them?

Not him.

But her, yeah.
She was at the show last night.

She was one of the guests that got
a one-on-one with Barry afterwards.

And how would someone get that?

People who buy advance tickets
fill out a questionnaire.

Barry randomly selects five

and mentions them by name
during the show.

It's pretty mind-blowing
for the people who are picked.

We can imagine.

Tell me, what goes on
during one of these one-on-ones?

Just mini life-coaching sessions.

It's only about 15 minutes,
but people come out transformed.

And did Cynthia look transformed?

Probably. But I didn't actually see her.

She was Barry's last client.
He showed her out himself.

Flynn was probably
the last person to see her alive.

Wait, she's dead?

She was murdered.

So let me ask you again,
where's Barry Flynn?

I don't know.

He needs private time
to rest and focus his mind.

It's part of his routine on show days.

But you're his manager.
You can't get a hold of him?

Sorry.

To make sure he's not interrupted,
no one knows where he goes.

Not me. Not his family.

Not anyone.

It's always been like that.

Well, if you had to take a guess,
where do you think he'd be?

He books a hotel room
or an apartment in every tour city.

He's probably there.

He's always back in time for the show.

What time did Barry leave?

Last night.

It was earlier than usual.

Want some company?

Sure.

I haven't seen you here before.

-I'm just visiting.
-Lucky you.

Nice weather for a change.

I was hoping for rain.

More romantic.

I'm Ricky.

Harold.

Have you seen the sights?

Space Needle, Pike's Place Market,
the aquarium?

The first two, yes, the aquarium, no.

Want a tour guide?

Why not?

We confirmed Flynn's been MIA since
his private meeting with Cynthia Strobl,

which officially makes him a suspect.

Well, he's a point
of convergence between the victims.

Lincoln Bell had a program

personally autographed
by Flynn in his apartment,

so we know they met.

Yeah. Flynn was one of the last people,
if not the last person

to see Cynthia Strobl alive.

Hey, Garcia.

You're on speaker. What do you got?

The 4-double-1 on Barry Flynn.

Hey, has anyone been listening
to this Unlimited Courage,

'cause it's pretty amazing.
I've just finished the first CD

and I've already signed up
for kickboxing class,

and I am painting the walls of
my apartment white.

Which is a risky color in my world.

-Garcia.
-Oh, sorry.

Well, Barry Flynn
is actually a stage name.

What's his real name?

His real name is Harold Kerwin.

Although he never legally
changed it, though.

He was raised in Reno, Nevada.

He went to a two-year
community college.

He got married right after.

He has a couple of assault charges
for some bar fights.

And then he worked
for 12 years as a car salesman

before he left the rat race.

How so?

He checked out, like quit his job,
got a divorce,

ran off to live in the desert.

Came back three years later
and he was Barry Flynn.

He started talking
at schools and local clubs,

built up this following,
became sort of an overnight sensation.

Within three years
he was selling out 1,000-seat venues.

Any idea what happened to him in those
three years while he was in the desert?

Well, according to Flynn,
he meditated a lot,

until his true gift was revealed to him.

I hate to admit it,
but it sounds pretty vague to me.

Thanks.

Never would've guessed he had a prior
assault conviction.

-He could be our guy.
-

Chen.

Flynn had the means
and the opportunity.

I'm just not clear about the motive.

We all know that
public figures like politicians

can have psychopathic tendencies
and the ability to hide it.

But it doesn't make any sense
that he'd kill his own paying customers.

And why start here, in Seattle?

Why leave the bizarre message
at the crime scenes?

Well, Flynn's obviously
a native English speaker,

so, if he is the UnSub,

then the message could be indicative
of some sort of delusion or psychosis.

That is possible given
the ceremonial knife that was used.

You know,
no history of recent head trauma.

He's too old to have suffered
a traditional schizophrenic break.

Maybe a drug-induced psychosis?

No. Flynn's clean as a whistle.

Doesn't even eat dairy
according to his bio.

Well, as a celebrity, he has
a vested interest in a clean image.

But who was he, really?

Flynn's rental car
was just located outside a bar in Alki.

How did you end up

where you are today?

Was it a conscious choice?

Or does it feel like you had
no control in the matter?

You made me do this, Barry Flynn.

I guess we know
how he was spending his private time.

Too bad he couldn't be open about it.

He's probably afraid
it would hurt his public image.

It's the same blood type as Flynn's.

We're running a DNA test.

We also found this.
It's a 100-decibel personal alarm.

Flynn's manager said he always
carried it with him, for protection.

Flynn's not the UnSub, he's a victim.

He felt threatened enough
to be holding the alarm,

dropped it when the UnSub clocked him
and took him away in another vehicle.

No surveillance cameras.
Guess the customers like their privacy.

So, what, did Flynn meet
the UnSub in the bar?

Probably. No one inside
noticed anything unusual,

so they came out together voluntarily.

Maybe Flynn had a change of heart
and the UnSub got angry.

We talked to the staff. None of them
remember even seeing Flynn.

Well, he'd probably wear a disguise
if he wanted to be anonymous in public.

So the UnSub didn't know who he was?

Maybe not.

But the MO's different here.

Flynn wasn't blitz-attacked
at home like the others.

What if Flynn was the ultimate target

and the others were
used to get information on him?

Or maybe the other
victims got in the way.

We could be looking at an extreme fan.

Yeah, someone could
have followed him here.

Most of the workers and stagehands
in Flynn's company are volunteers.

So he'd be surrounded by fanatics
who'd be watching his every move.

Well, let's just hope
it was one of them who nabbed him.

Why?

Because then there's
a chance he's still alive.

The greatest gift
is inside you already.

It's always been there,
a constant companion.

When I heard that,

I finally understood
that I had to use my gift.

When I was a kid, I used to talk about it,
until people said that I sounded weird.

And I hated it because
it made me different.

And I tried to shut it off,
but I didn't want to...

What did you do to me?

You wouldn't come with me,

and I had to do what I needed
to do to get you to listen.

Listen to what?

Four months ago,

I was fired. Couldn't get another job.

I was an unemployed,
middle-aged loser

with no prospects.

I almost killed myself.

Then I found you.

What's your name?

Carl. Carl Finster.

Carl, I can see that you're in pain.

I'm not.

I feel alive.

Like electricity is running through me.

Can you take these off?

I won't try to escape. I promise.

I'm here for you.

You're lying.

I don't blame you.

I just need you to hear me out
until I know that you're convinced.

Convinced of what?

That I'm your biggest success story.

While we initially thought
Barry Flynn might be a suspect,

it turns out we're looking
for one of his followers.

An UnSub who suffers from erotomania.

He's obsessed with Flynn,
his latest abductee,

and he may believe that
Flynn's also in love with him.

Erotomania
has very little to do with sex.

It's a romantic or spiritual
connection that erotomanics crave.

Victims of the delusion
tend to be from a higher social status

and have done very little
to stimulate or encourage such a belief.

In fact, it's likely

the UnSub and Barry Flynn
have had no previous contact.

His infatuation probably
began from afar,

considering Flynn's celebrity status.

The patience required
to commit his crimes

makes us believe he's a male
in his late 30s to 40s

who is single and socially immature.

He's a loner with poor social skills.

And although he is capable
of holding down a job,

he most likely neglects
his duties to focus on his obsession.

This is a guy
who spends much of his time

living in his delusional fantasy world.

And he may have been
tracking Flynn for quite some time.

And with erotomania,
the most likely recipient of violence

is the person standing
in the way of the desired object.

It's possible the UnSub
witnessed an interaction

between his two first victims and Flynn,

killing them in a jealous rage.

Another possibility
is that the UnSub killed them

to prove his devotion.

The weapon used
had a ceremonial quality to it.

Which means the UnSub probably
views these victims as sacrifices,

and the messages
he is leaving may be meant for Flynn.

In his head, he may believe

that he's already involved
in a personal relationship with Flynn.

And now that Flynn is under his control,

this situation is especially precarious.

If the UnSub is under the delusion
that Flynn also cares about him,

then any misstep by Flynn
that contradicts that belief,

could lead to more victims
or even Flynn's own murder,

to prove they have a special bond.

And with each passing hour,
it's increasingly unlikely

that Flynn will be able to match
the UnSub's expectations for him.

So we must act quickly. Thank you.

I've ignored my gift for so long.

What is your gift?

I don't hear things
the way most people do.

-I see it.

what does that mean?

Well, when people talk,

I know the truth about them.

You know the truth.

Like I knew you were lying when
you said you wouldn't try to escape.

A doctor told my parents that
there was a wire crossed in my brain.

It's harmless. Kind of like a birthmark.

But thanks to you, I know he was wrong.

How so?

Because it's more than a birthmark.
I got this ability for a reason,

and what I need to do is take action,
and that's what you've been telling me.

What are you planning to do, Carl?

Let me show you.

We said that this UnSub
had poor social skills,

so how did he lure Flynn out of the bar?

Good question. Maybe he had help
from someone with more charisma.

Well, we should amend the profile,
let the media know

that there may be
a temporary partner involved.

All right, I'll call Garcia

and get her to narrow
the list of seminar attendees.

Hey, baby girl.

If loving you is wrong, baby boy,
I don't want to be right.

Well, likewise, mama.

I need you to look
into fans of Barry Flynn.

Oh, I already have
those numbers for you.

He has over two million fans worldwide,

and the kind that are crazy infatuated
with him, I would say about 100,000.

Hey, do you know that if you join
Barry's official circle of friends,

you get the Unlimited Courage12-CD set for $49.99,

plus a free
"Live or die, you choose" mug.

Come on, don't tell me you joined.

No. Why would you say that?
I didn't do that.

There's just things I need motivation
for. Like I had that cupcake problem,

and I've really wanted to learn
how to play the clarinet.

And Barry Flynn is a good guy
who really helps people,

and I want you to find him.

We're doing our best, girl.

By the way, uh,
totally different subject...

I happened upon
that invitation guest list

for the British embassy thing.

Did you know that Madonna
and Stephen Hawking are going?

Not together, but they're going.

Penelope...

Seriously, you're gonna miss a chance
to meet Stephen Hawking?

-Reid will kill you.-Well, then I'm dead.

Why don't you want to go?

It's personal.
How about that?

Oh, my God, it's personal?

That never occurred to me
that it would be personal.

I thought it was like
stock market related

or 'cause of the weather.

Will you cut it out, already?

Okay. Keep your super secrets
to yourself, 007.

Look, just do me a favor.

Find out how many of Flynn's
uberfans live in Seattle.

Then I want you
to narrow it down even more

by cross-referencing with people
with anger management issues.

-Thank you and goodbye, Garcia.-Yeah, Derek...

Hello?

What are you doing here, Carl?

Uh, I was missing a personal photo.
Thought maybe I left it here.

Your cubicle was cleaned out
when you were fired.

What do you really want?

You made a big mistake
when you fired me.

I mean, I don't have a gun,
if that's what you're worried about.

And I just wondered why you did it.

Oh, come on, you know why.

I was getting complaints about you.

Customers are never happy.

You yelled at them.

And you scared your co-workers.

They thought you were seeing things
half the time.

Just like you are now.

What are you even looking at?

It's unsettling.

We were worried about you.

It's not that you're a bad person,

but this just isn't
the right place for you, Carl.

I'm sure there's another job
you'd be much happier doing.

You've always been
envious of me, haven't you?

I threaten you in some way.

Okay, whatever.
Look, you're gonna have to go.

He came forward when he saw
our statement to the media.

Some guy paid him 200 bucks
to bring Barry Flynn out of the bar

into the parking lot.

What happened in the parking lot?

I don't know. I told Flynn to wait for me,

that I left my keys
in the bar and that I'd be right back.

Was that part of the plan?

Yeah. But I never came
back outside again, so...

Now, you said the guy
that paid you was a little weird. How so?

He couldn't look at me when he talked,

and he kept yapping
about a magnificent light.

I got 'em.

Transcripts of the calls I handled
and the customers' addresses.

Let me go.

You gotta let me go, Carl.

Oh, no, no, no. No, we're just getting started.

Do you remember
how I said how I felt alive,

like electricity
was coursing through me?

Well, I felt this way
once before when I was 10.

I had this dream that I was a superhero,

and I had this partner,
and together we killed evil people

with this powerful knife.

Well, I'm going to kill these evil people.

-Help! Somebody, help!
-Ah! Damn it!

Why do you keep resisting me?

You awoke this gift in me.

You of all people should understand

that we have to do
this mission together.

Why was there so much overkill
on the two victims?

They were threats to the UnSub's
imaginary relationship with Flynn.

They hardly knew Flynn.

I mean, at least four other people
had private meetings with him.

He gave autographs to
at least a dozen others.

Why those two?

Well, it's not reality-based.

His delusional mind exaggerated
the relationships they had with Flynn.

Maybe he's not driven by jealousy.

What if the overkill was to make
doubly sure that they were dead

and couldn't come back to life?

The way you'd want to kill
a monster in a horror movie.

Exactly. Maybe he saw them as evil.

That could explain
the messages on the wall.

Where are we?

Janet Dodd's house.

She's evil and we need to stop her.

Carl, you're making a big mistake.

I'm just doing what you told me to.
I'm taking action.

You misunderstood me.

Now stop this before it's too late.

-You do not want blood on your hands.
-

What's so funny?

You are. I've already killed two already.

It's been in the news.

Okay, she's alone now.

Tell the police if you think she's evil.

No, no, no.
The police won't do a damn thing.

No, I was in a bar once and I saw a guy
who was the epitome of evil,

and I called the police to tell them,
and they hung up on me.

And then six hours later,
a mother and her baby were killed

when someone tried to carjack them.
And I know it was him.

I could have saved them.

Don't worry. You just watch.

Ready?

-No!
-

"Hear your red, see your red."

Well, somehow it makes sense to him.

The UnSub is clearly devolving.

Yeah, the letters are shakier.

This message is less
controlled than the others.

I agree. The word evil
was replaced by red,

which means red
could have been from his unconscious,

a Freudian slip, so to speak.

But what does it mean

Janet Dodd.
Got divorced two years ago,

she lived here alone,
worked as a paralegal.

Any known enemies

Not according to her sister.
The husband left Janet.

Any connection to Flynn?

Doesn't seem to be.

In fact her sister was trying to get her
to move on with her life,

but Janet seemed
completely unmotivated.

The UnSub didn't pick her because of
her connection to Flynn, then.

Then why did he choose her?

Somehow their paths
must have crossed.

Well, she didn't get out much.
Only went to work and then back home.

We're pulling her phone records,
see who she talked to last.

She's got a lot of overdue bills.

Yeah, her sister said
she was struggling financially.

She cut up a credit card
that wasn't expired. Why?

People often do when
they're trying to rein in their spending.

Psychologically,
it's harder to part with cash.

The phone logs.

A lot of calls recently
to the same 800 number.

Welcome to Luxor Bank Cards.

Ooh.

Hey, watch it, ese.

What's your problem, man?

You blind or something

You're lucky I'm busy today.

Okay. There we go.

-Take a sip.
-No.

Come on. Come on, you'll feel better.
Come on.

What do you want with me, Carl?

Isn't it obvious? We're partners.

We're destined to fight evil together.

We're not...

-When does the mission end?
-Mmm.

Never.

This is only the beginning.

I don't think I realized
how serious you were, Carl.

You really want to change
the world, don't you?

You have the conviction of a superhero.

I believe that now.

Come on, uncuff me.

I won't run. I promise.

When we get to our next target.

I knew you'd come around.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Okay, so I cross-referenced
Barry Flynn fans

with people who had
anger management issues

and Luxor Bank got one hit.

Carl Finster.
He worked as a customer service rep

at the call center there.
He was fired four months ago.

What are the chances that he spoke
to Janet Dodd on the phone?

Oh. The chances are 100%,

because she called that center
at least 20 times in the last year,

and Carl answered
at least three of those calls.

What was the anger
management issue?

Apparently one of
his co-workers filed a complaint

after Carl got super mad
at her about God knows what

and threatened her butt good.

He was fired a month later.
I am sending you his address now.

Okay, so getting fired was his stressor,

and Barry Flynn's seminar
was his trigger somehow.

If he's stalking credit card customers,
we need to find out who he spoke to.

A good point. Take Blake and Reid
and go to the workplace.

The rest of us will go to the house.
Let's go.

Some of his co-workers
thought he was mentally ill.

When someone suggested
he get help, he went off,

practically threatened to kill her.

What did you think?

Something wasn't right.

I mean, you'd be talking to him
and he wouldn't even be looking at you.

He'd be looking around you.

-Was it like he was hallucinating?
-Yeah.

He started getting
weird with the customers

and going off script,
and, you know, I had to fire him.

Going off script in what ways?

We have a set algorithm of questions

depending on what
the customer's calling about.

We review transcripts regularly,

and Carl was perfectly fine
with some customers.

But with others,
he'd be verbally abusive for no reason.

-Clear.
-It's clear!

There's nobody here.

Hey, guys, look at this knife.

Is this who Carl Finster thinks he is?

Why does my card
keep getting rejected?

I've been paying
the minimum balance on time.

You were five days late
in your April payment, so you're a liar.

What

I know who you are, Howard Jephson.

I can see your words.

Okay, you know what?
I want to talk to your supervisor.

You are rotten to the core!
You don't deserve any more credit!

See what I was dealing with?

Carl was attacking
certain customers for no reason.

Why did he come back last night?

Well, at first I thought he came here
to shoot up the place.

But now I think it was
to steal the recordings of his calls.

We confirmed he downloaded a file.

Wait a minute, guys. He told
the caller he could see his words.

And you said he acted
like he was hallucinating?

I think I might know
what's wrong with him.

He has synesthesia.
It's a neurological phenomenon

in which two or more senses
are triggered simultaneously.

For instance, someone might
associate specific numbers with colors

or even be able to taste music.

I think Carl has the form
of synesthesia

in which he can literally
see the words that people are speaking.

Hence the message he left,
"Hear your evil, see your evil."

It looks like he transcribed
conversations he had with people

in different colors of ink.

Green, orange, red.

Well, these are not
happy conversations.

Reid, we can see here
that each of the colors

mean something different to him.

White words mean
the speaker is good.

It looks like the orange ink
means the speaker's a liar.

You know, maybe he sees
people's words in different colors

depending on
what type of person he thinks they are.

What's the content of the red ones?

Oh, they're angry.
He accuses them of being evil.

And so he sees their words in red.
"Hear your red, see your red."

He might believe it's a super power.

It looks like he tried
to stop the synesthesia

by wearing tinted glasses.

The fact is, we know his latest victim
was a customer he spoke to.

His old boss says he came in last night
and stole a copy of the recordings.

The only reason is to compile
a list of people he considers evil.

Exactly. A hit list.

And he's got all their addresses
and vital information.

Get in the house, now.

Oh, my God.
You're the guy on the news.

-Do as he says.
-Get in the house!

- -Shut up!

Howard Jephson,
I know who you really are.

I'm not Howard Jephson.

No games.
Not if you want your family to live.

I'm telling you the truth.
We're just renting the house.

My name is Stephen Caldwell.

We never even met Howard. We just
saw his name on the lease agreement.

We made a mistake. Let's go.

Look, if you leave now,
we won't call the police.

Carl, what the hell?

He lied to us.

His words turned orange.

Now, hand me the knife.

It's the wrong guy.

I said hand me the knife!

Okay. Give me the gun.

Wait. Say that again.

Give me the gun.

He's got 150 names in the Seattle area.

He could be going after
any one of them.

Garcia, any way to narrow it
down to callers in the city?

Okay, that gives us 32.

Was Janet Dodd the first name
alphabetically of those 32?

No, she was the ninth.

So he's not going alphabetically.
How else would you organize a hit list?

Maybe time of contact. He started
with the first person he spoke to.

No, because he talked to Janet Dodd
the last day he was employed.

He's going in reverse order.
The ones he talked to most recently

would be freshest in his mind.

Garcia, take the last callers and find out
which ones live closest to Janet Dodd.

Okay, I got two names that are
about the same distance from her.

Ranga Patel and Howard Jephson.

All right, you two take Blake
and go to Howard Jephson.

The rest of us will go to the Patel house.

-How did you do that

How did you hide your true nature
for so long?

Enough, Carl. Listen to me.

Listen to me carefully.

You are not a victim of circumstance.
You are a creature of free will.

Take the right action.

Let this family go.

No one goes anywhere.

I know that you don't
feel in control right now.

You don't know how you ended up here,
and it feels like there's no way out.

But there is a way out. I can help you.

You think I'll believe
anything you say anymore?

You and I have a special bond, Carl.

I know this isn't you.

You don't know anything about me.

FBI! Drop it!

He's evil! I can see it.

All right, come on, let's go.

We know what's going on, Carl.

You've had a special talent
your whole life, haven't you?

It's my gift.

Barry Flynn here unleashed that, Carl.

How can you hurt a man
who's given you so much?

He changed!

I saw red.

What do you see
when we speak?

We know that you called
the police last year,

and you warned them about a man.

They ignored me.

They ignored me and then he killed
a mother and her baby.

It wasn't him.

The man you warned them
about was questioned,

but it wasn't him.

They found the real killer a week later
and he confessed.

Carl, your gift is not reliable.

It's just a reflection
on how you feel about other people,

but, Carl, it's not who they really are.

If you kill this man,
you'll be destroying a magnificent light.

Think about it.

Put the weapons down.

"The mystery
of human existence

"lies not in just staying alive,

"but in finding something to live for."

Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Hey.

I encourage you not to be mad at me.

I did a little research
about Jason Ryder,

and I found out
that he was your father's old partner

at the Chicago P.D., so I'm assuming
that there was some sort of falling out?

No, Garcia.

Jason moved to New York
after my father died.

He was a hero on 9/11.
That's why he's being honored.

So what's the problem?

Years ago, I was supposed
to talk about my father

at the Fallen
Law Enforcement Memorial.

I got up to the podium, and I froze.

You got stage fright.

No. It wasn't that at all.

Well, there's the obvious remedy,

which is imagining
the whole audience naked,

but you could imagine
a whole audience full of UnSubs.

You're really good
at talking down an UnSub.

Baby girl, it wasn't stage fright.

I wasn't ready to discuss
my feelings about my father in public.

And you think talking about his partner
is going to bring up those feelings?

How can I honor Jason Ryder
when I couldn't honor my own father?

It's disrespectful.

Okay, this is gonna start out
sounding really harsh,

but you need to get over it.

You need to let it go.
That is so far past.

You've gotta stop
beating yourself up about this.

That's not gonna happen, is it?

Okay.

Well, then this gift is totally pointless.

It's just some stuff from Barry Flynn.

I talked to him about your issue,

and he gave you
another incentive as a thank-you.

You only have it for 24 hours.

So...

Mmm-hmm.

A policeman pulled over a man,

and he said to him,
"Sir, your eyes look bloodshot.

"Have you been drinking?"

And that man replied,

"Officer, your eyes look glazed.

"Have you been eating doughnuts?"

You see, that right there
was the last joke

that my father ever told me

before he died.

A special gift in my life

are the 11 years
that I did have with him.

Because as brief
as they may have been,

my dad gave me unconditional love.

He taught me a sense of duty.

And he gave me a reason
to keep working hard.

Because each and every day,
I do all that I know how to do

to make my father proud.

Now, my dad was taken from
this world way too soon.

But if he wasn't,
I wouldn't be the man that I am today.

Now, you may be wondering
why I'm talking about him here.

It's because my father,
the man that I admire the most,

looked up to Mr. Jason Ryder,
who we honor here tonight.

Jason was the most important
person in my father's life

outside of his family.

He was his partner and his best friend.

Like my father, Jason strived
to be the best he could be.

He inspired me to be fearless

and to go out into the world
and find my inner light.

And for that, Jason,
I am eternally grateful.

No, please. Please don't.
Please don't! Please!

No, no, no! No, please!

- -Please don't! Please!
