Nina, do you have him?

No.

Barnes?

Negative.

Where the hell did he go?

You think you'll be home for the weekend?

Maybe. I don't know yet.

Anais' music class has their...

Spring recital. It's on my calendar.

Your mom said she was good if neither of us can make it.

You know, I honestly thought that this trial

would take up less time than the trial prep.

I'll take the first train up on Saturday if I have to, okay?

No, that's not what I was trying to say.

I was not trying to say... - It's fine.

I know you weren't.

It's just, I'm late and I can't find my charger.

Fantastic.

You can take mine.

Here.

Thank you.

You know, if you're back from D.C. Saturday,

maybe we could have a date night.

We're long overdue.

Sure. Can you set it up?

I'll try to be there.

Oh, you'll try?

Can you guarantee that you'll be there?

Or will it be like our anniversary

when we had reservations to Le Bernardin

and you got stuck in Cleveland?

Fairfield.

And I hear you.

Listen.

It would be nice to reconnect, okay?

I feel so...

Disconnected?

One second.

Barnes.

Copy. I'm on my way.

That was Remy. We're heading north of Albany.

I'll see you when I see you.

Hey, this was the life we chose.

Not exactly.

But it's the life we have.

Don't forget your parka.

DOJ has asked us to join a task force

that's setting up shop on the Akwesasne Reservation.

It's dedicated to missing and murdered Indigenous women.

- Do we have a specific target? - Yes.

Last night, a young Native American woman

escaped her attacker, a man who they believe

is responsible for a series of brutal murders.

Okay, so we're hunting a serial killer?

Four bodies were found along the St. Regis River,

three of them beyond decomposed.

The victims were all young, petite, Native American women.

I've heard about this case.

This is the Hollow Man.

It sure is.

The most recent victim had her throat slit,

was cut open, and bled out,

her liver and stomach removed.

If she were a deer,

you say she'd been field dressed.

And all four women were found like that?

A hunter stumbled across Riley Lawton's body,

which had been preserved by the last snow.

The dogs were called out

and the other three were discovered.

Okay, does that mean you have a timeline on the murders?

She believes they happened in the fall,

the first victim in September, the next two in the winter.

Riley Lawton's time of death was around a month ago.

Okay, so these are all young,

petite, Mohawk women.

What else connects them?

The only thing so far is that none of them

were reported missing until their bodies were found.

They weren't on anyone's radar.

Low-impact victims.

That's how my first captain would describe them.

It's a T.S. Eliot poem, isn't it, "The Hollow Men"?

"This is how the world ends.

"Not with a bang,

but with a whimper."

Grab your stuff.

Jet's waiting.

I know this isn't as high-tech

as you're used to up in New York City.

No, we can work anywhere.

That's what I said too.

I've been fighting for months to get eyes on this case.

It wasn't till I leaked a few details

to my old college roommate, who's a reporter at the "Post,"

that anyone else cared about these women.

These women, they're my sisters.

And there's been whispers for a while now

that women were going missing.

Isn't the homicide rate for Native American women

10 times the national average?

And those are just the ones we know about.

There could be more victims.

And we got a break last night when a woman escaped

the john who attacked her,

a woman who fits the victimology

of this killer.

Here, let me show you a surveillance video.

The woman who escaped, her name is Shenoa.

Shenoa Fermy.

This is her just after she escaped her john.

Now, let me show you the footage from earlier.

She was working the gas station.

The john picked her up,

drove her down the road a stretch,

and pulled a gun on her.

She was able to escape and make her way back

to the gas station

where a good Samaritan gave her the jacket

off his back, called for help.

How many of the other Hollow Man's victims are sex workers?

One other victim, his third.

Lily Yorn.

So the john that picked up Shenoa,

did he buy any gas or anything from the gas station?

Unfortunately, no.

We have a partial plate on his truck.

Hana, get started on that plate.

Yeah, I'm all over it.

You two, head to that gas station,

see what you can find. - Will do.

Riley Lawton, what do we know about her?

Nothing, really.

No family in the area, no friends that we could find.

All we really know is that she didn't show up

for her waitress job one morning.

Three days later, her body was found.

And her employer didn't try to contact her or the police?

No. They just suspected

that she was out sick,

and they called someone else in to take her shift.

All right, the first thing we need to do is talk to Shenoa,

see if she can give us a description of the Hollow Man.

I figured.

I have her waiting over here.

So what did he look like?

He's Mohawk like me.

Mean-looking too.

I didn't like him from the jump.

I should have listened to my gut, but...

You're safe now.

That's all that matters.

I have three brothers.

I learned how to fight.

When he pulled his gun on me, it was all like,

"Release the kraken!" you know?

Man, I'd give anything for a fix right now.

You don't have anything, do you?

Just caffeine.

He promised me a hit.

You know, when he picked me up.

Partial payment, he said.

I've been trying to get clean, but...

My mom was an addict.

She overdosed when I was young.

She had her whole life ahead of her, and so do you.

I'll go back to the meetings. I will.

Tell us more about this man.

He was Native American, right?

How big would you say?

Not big. He's more like a rat.

You know, he's rat-like.

Short hair, black,

he's maybe 35 or so.

Can you walk us through what happened

after he picked you up?

It was, like, totally normal.

He wanted to stay in his smelly truck.

What'd it smell like?

Man juice.

He wanted a better look at me,

so I took off my jacket.

And when I looked up, he had his gun pointed at me.

I got out of there as fast as I could.

I left my jacket and my purse in the car.

My favorite purse.

It was blue and green, beaded,

and with a butterfly on it.

Did his gun stand out in any way?

Yeah.

It was like yours.

Okay, a service weapon?

Was he wearing a uniform?

No. Regular clothes.

Badge of any kind?

Not that I saw.

But you know, I got out of there as fast as I could.

Guys.

We have something. - Okay.

You did great, Shenoa.

Just give us a sec.

Hey.

Try to get to a meeting.

I may have found the owner of the truck

that picked up Shenoa.

Police officer?

Border patrol agent, Eddie Lauda.

I don't know him.

Their turnover rate is high.

A while back, we had trouble with one agent,

he was taking kickbacks.

Lauda could be our guy.

Yeah, he's definitely rat-like

and has a service weapon issued to him.

You got an address for this dirt bag?

Yeah. It's actually not far from here.

Guys, this is the same truck

that Shenoa got into last night.

Remy, this could be her purse.

All we need for probable cause.

Yep. Shenoa Fermy's ID.

Can I help you all?

No. No, I'm sorry.

No, I cannot believe what you are telling me.

Where is Eddie right now?

He's at work.

I mean, I expect, though, I don't...

I'm sorry, how many women?

Four.

Four women were murdered.

Look, I know that this is a lot to take in...

Oh, yeah, you're telling me.

We need you to call your husband.

Tell him your baby is very sick

and he needs to come home right away.

Can you do that for us?

Yeah. Yeah, I can... can.

I just... I need to...

I need to find my phone. Would you... would you mind?

Of course.

A lot of God in this place.

A man of God killing sex workers?

Maybe it's his way of covering up his sins.

Honey.

It's... no, it's... it's... it's baby Netty.

There's... there's blood all in her diaper.

I just don't know what to do. I'm scared.

Could you just please come home?

Okay.

He said he's on his way.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Okay.

Rachelle, where are you?

Eddie Lauda, we'd like to talk with you.

Not today, jackass.

Hey, keep your hands where we can see them.

I didn't do anything.

You're under arrest for the murder of four women.

Four women?

Women who were Mohawk, like you.

Like me.

I know who you're talking about, and trust me,

I'm not your guy. I didn't kill anybody!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They all say that.

Let's go.

Move!

What did you mean when you said

you know who we're talking about?

Everyone knows there's someone out there

on the rez slicing open women.

But it's not me.

You pulled a gun on Shenoa.

She's a drug addict.

You know how they are.

No. Tell us.

Unpredictable.

She came after me, attacked me.

I pulled...

I pulled my gun to protect myself from her.

What about these young girls?

Hmm?

They yank your chain?

Tickle your fancy?

Float your boat?

Turn your crank?

I'm telling you, I'm a lot of things,

but I'm not a killer.

Wouldn't you say our jobs

are like a calling?

I know I feel that way.

You're obviously a man of God.

I am too.

A true believer.

And every now and then,

God asks us to do what is right.

And these young girls,

what they're doing

isn't right.

So

Maybe you had a calling, huh?

To take out the freaking trash.

Shenoa,

Lily Yorn.

Listen, there's no way I could have

killed any of those girls,

because I wasn't here.

What do you mean?

You were in an altered state?

I was in a different state altogether.

New Hampshire, Nashua.

I got transferred here a month ago.

The guy you're looking for, the Hollow Man,

is still out there.

Border patrol confirmed

Eddie Lauda was in New Hampshire

when our victims were all killed.

So Eddie was telling the truth.

Yep. They charged Eddie with assault

and false imprisonment,

but he's not our serial killer.

Slitting someone's throat is a tremendous display

of personal power.

We're dealing with someone who has power issues,

either a lot of it...

Or none of it.

Someone who isn't afraid of close contact

and wet work.

Well, maybe he's a hunter.

How long before Riley went missing

till her body was found?

Three days, although ME believes

she was dead for less than a day.

So the Hollow Man could have abducted her,

held her for two days before killing her, why?

To torture her?

ME says there were no signs of torture.

The eviscerations were postmortem.

And all the rape kits came back negative.

So no overt sexual motives at play here?

Maybe he gets off on keeping his victims prisoner.

If he's holding these women hostage for two days

before cutting them open,

two days is enough time to empty the stomach,

which he's taken from the bodies.

Yeah, but why would he want to empty their stomachs?

Is he force-feeding them something possibly,

like a human foie gras?

Ugh.

Okay, I'm officially done eating.

All the bodies were found within a few hundred yards

of each other, dumped there.

What do we know about where they were abducted?

Three of our four victims had cars.

Our first victim, Brianna Culpbert,

her car was found abandoned here on a road.

There's no cameras. It's very rural.

The second victim, Ally Woodrose,

her car was found here on a similar road.

And our third victim, Riley Lawton,

her car was abandoned here.

In the middle of it?

The Akwesasne Fairgrounds?

There's a casino there.

And there's a state fair every September.

The RMS clinic is also there,

three times a year.

What's that?

It's the Rural Medical Services.

It's a pop-up clinic.

We don't have a lot of doctors up here.

Nearest hospital's 50 miles away.

That clinic is how most people get their basic medical care.

It's here three times a year

fall, winter, spring.

So fall when the first murder happened,

winter when the next three murders happened.

And it's in town now for the spring.

It opens up today.

That's it.

He could be using that clinic as his hunting ground.

Barnes, come with me.

And, Hana, see if any of our victims are patients there.

Nina, Ray, Riley's car is still at the impound lot.

See if it has anything to tell us.

Yep.

Do you keep records of the patients

that visit these clinics?

I wish we had that kind of money.

The closest thing we have to a system here

are these paper numbers we give out.

These are the four women we're interested in.

Is there any way that we can find out

if they were seen here?

I can do my best.

When do the doctors arrive?

Any minute now.

They're being shuttled over from the hotel.

They're not from around here?

Most are from Manhattan, a few from Boston.

They're all volunteers.

So am I, for that matter.

I live in Burlington.

Excuse me a second.

A doctor is not afraid of close body contact

or bodily fluids.

Also has a position of power.

Not to mention the skill set to flay somebody open

and remove their organs.

So why come all the way up here for victims?

Precisely.

Because they're not at home.

They're anonymous.

But they may have priors in their home town.

Sorry. One last thing.

Can you get a list of all the volunteer doctors for us?

What for?

We're just covering our bases.

Might help us find who we're looking for.

Yeah, okay.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you.

She kept up with her oil changes

and serviced her car like clockwork.

Yeah, she needed new tires, though.

Treads on these are worn bare.

I wonder what made this girl a target.

Hey, wait.

What do you think this is?

I'm not sure.

Send a picture to Remy.

Patient.

Oh.

I think I got something here.

Check this out.

- What's up? - Got a flat tire.

Look at the shape of this puncture here.

Oh, yeah, that's a slice.

Yep.

Like it was made with a knife.

I'm not sure this is accidental.

It's too close to the tread.

It creates a slow leak.

Okay, so is this what our killer does?

He tampers with the tires so that when he's driving by,

all of a sudden, our victims need his help,

like a knight in shining armor?

Yeah, who becomes their worst nightmare.

Yeah.

Howdy.

Looks like you could use some help.

How lucky am I that you came along?

Very.

The car was unlocked, and in the front seat,

I encountered a purse and a cell phone.

Two things they'd never leave behind.

Exactly my thinking there.

I looked at the driver's license.

Her name is Maya Holt.

Saw that she was like those other girls

that ended up dead.

Young, Native American, petite?

And alone.

I didn't find any evidence of another person

in the car with her.

Yeah, no sign of struggle,

which means Maya probably went willingly

with whoever stopped,

thinking they were actually gonna help.

I phoned local establishments in the area.

No one came in with a woman having car trouble.

This led me to conclude that Maya

had possibly been abducted.

Ah, here it is.

Tire walls have been slashed.

It's the same puncture as Riley Lawton's tires.

RMS Clinic.

This is the first day it's been up and running,

which means she was there.

How far is it? - 20 minutes.

So she gets the puncture there,

slowly she drives and she stops here.

That's where the Hollow Man stops to help.

And if he keeps his victims alive

for two days before killing them...

Clock's ticking. We gotta get going.

Thank you so much.

Maya Holt's number is pink 068.

Pink is OB/GYN.

That's Dr. May over there.

He would have seen Maya Holt today.

Want me to go get him for you?

Please, right away.

Okay. Dr. Travis May, 45, no priors.

I'm not seeing any pattern of murders in the Boston area

of women who have been eviscerated.

Don't forget, Jack the Ripper was an OB/GYN.

Dr. May worked this morning.

I don't think he's the Hollow Man.

He would have had to treat Maya, leave,

puncture her tire, stalk her for 20 minutes,

secure her, and then get back here.

But he was the last person we know of who saw Maya alive.

Dr. Travis May, this is Agent Scott, FBI.

We're investigating a series of murders.

The Hollow Man case, right?

We've all heard about it.

Zendie checked for us.

All the victims came through this clinic.

Another woman's missing,

a woman you saw earlier today.

Her name is Maya Holt.

I remember her.

About seven months along.

She's pregnant?

Yes.

But with her petite stature,

she'll probably deliver early.

Maya is seven months pregnant.

This is a major change up in the Hollow Man's MO.

None of his other victims were pregnant.

I mean, serial killers evolve, sure,

but her being pregnant makes her a high-profile victim.

Is the father in the picture?

We got people at her apartment right now.

So far, she appears to live alone.

Okay, so like the other victims,

women who won't be immediately missed.

There's no other pattern of kills

that resemble these murders, right?

Not that I've found.

And these kills only happened here starting in September?

According to the ME.

And I got to tell you,

September is my least favorite time of the year.

It's when the seasonal workers, young guys, most of them,

come back with nothing to do and wallets thick with cash.

What kind of work do they do?

This is where most men go from May to September,

over to Alaska,

where salmon is processed and canned.

A worker who guts fish?

That's somebody who's not afraid of wet work.

And they have the knowledge and the strength

to be able to gut a woman.

Does this fish company have a recruitment office?

Just another moment.

There.

Okay, I found it.

This is a list of the men we hired

to join us in Alaska last summer.

I know a couple of these guys.

Him and him

and him.

I'll vouch for them.

That leaves 20 other guys.

Any of these dudes seem weird to you?

For the most part,

they were all good workers,

solid.

"For the most part."

Naturally, there is attrition each summer.

Naturally.

Hank Fuller.

This fellow here came home early August.

He was one of our floating processors.

- August? - Yes.

He said he wasn't feeling well.

Hank Fuller, 28,

he was arrested in Alaska in July 2023

for battery and assault.

He's got power issues.

- Mm-hmm. - Big time.

He took the Tribal Police Department test five times.

He was denied five times.

I have his last-known address.

It looks like an apartment building.

FBI!

All rooms clear!

Looks like Hank Fuller lives alone.

Yeah, I don't know a single woman

who would willingly stay here.

There's no signs of Maya at all.

Yeah, this be a hard place

to keep someone alive for two days.

Too many people around.

Wherever he's headed,

that's where he could be holding Maya.

Okay, so there's no other properties in Hank's name.

What about family property?

He doesn't have any family.

He aged out of foster care.

Hey, guys, come check this out.

These license plate photos?

These are all from the RMS clinic.

Fuller's got subscriptions to consumer databases

where he pays to run background checks on people.

He's running these license plates

through these databases? - Yes.

And then he gets the addresses

from where the cars are registered.

He's working out if these women live alone

or have a family.

That way he can choose women who won't be easily missed.

These are Brianna Culpbert's plates.

The Hollow Man's first victim.

Mm-hmm.

And these are Ally Woodrose.

And this is Riley Lawton's.

Are Maya's plates there?

No.

Maybe Maya's abduction this morning was more spontaneous.

Hana, run those plates against other missing persons.

I've always thought that he might have more victims

out there than we know about.

I'll put a BOLO out on his car.

It's a truck.

Red F-150, 1992.

Got it.

Look at her.

Her life is in your hands.

I want you to feel that feeling for a moment,

the power you can have over someone.

I... I don't understand.

You're gonna go to that store,

and you're gonna buy three things:

A box of laxatives,

a gallon of water, and cigarettes.

And you're gonna rent a hunting cabin, number 12.

Now, say that list back to me.

A box of laxatives,

a gallon of water, and cigarettes.

Cabin 12.

Good job, buttercup.

Take three deep breaths

in and out with me.

Now, if you so much as peep to her that I'm here with you,

I'll kill you both.

Simple as that.

Now, scoot.

I need some cigarettes,

and I'd like to rent a hunting cabin, please.

Number 12, if possible.

You out hunting in your condition?

I need you to fill out one of these forms then.

What brand of smokes?

You pick.

You got a real interesting prenatal regimen

going on here.

You need anything else?

Huh?

No.

Thank you.

Who the hell is Paracelsus?

Hey.

Look, this book on pregnancy, he bought it last week,

but the rest of these magazines are from the fall.

He's taking prenatal vitamins?

Look at this.

"Living with cancer."

Fuller keeps all his cooking supplies within arm's reach.

That's what you do when you're cooking for one,

which is also how my kitchen looks right now,

but cleaner.

Charlotte's still in D.C. in trial?

It's been weeks.

Three. Yep.

Good luck seeing Charlotte unless you're co-counsel.

Yeah, two careers and kids

is something we're navigating too.

Do we know the reason Fuller was placed

in foster care to begin with?

He was removed from his mother's home

no father in the picture... for neglect.

She was starving him. - Oh.

So the guy is bound to have food issues.

Uh.

This is kind of a big liver.

Oh, my God.

What is that, a stomach?

I think these are human organs.

Do those belong to Riley Lawton?

What the hell? Why is he keeping all these?

So he can eat them.

Hank Fuller has cancer.

He's removing his victims' brains,

heart, gallbladder, pancreas,

so he can happily dine on them.

Fuller downloaded a book by this German philosopher

who believes that you can treat like with like,

that if you have a diseased organ,

you can cure it by consuming healthy flesh.

That's what Hank Fuller is after,

the vital organs of his victims.

He left Alaska in August

because he wasn't feeling well.

Maybe he was diagnosed then.

And desperate to cure himself,

he started killing healthy young women for their organs.

Right.

He becomes more and more desperate

and graduates to wanting what only a pregnant woman has:

Her placenta,

the most nutrient-dense organ a body can produce.

That's disgusting.

It's not unheard of.

Like when Steve McQueen was diagnosed with cancer,

he went down to Mexico.

He took injections of cattle fetus cells

to try and cure himself.

Oh, come on.

"Bullitt" was a masterpiece.

Remy Scott.

Okay, text me the address.

Maya was spotted at a store by Clegg Lake.

She came in alone? - Yeah.

But her husband was in their truck just outside.

Uh, red truck? Ford F-150?

Yeah. Its sides were all rusted out.

Is this who you saw in the truck?

That's him. I'm pretty darn sure.

That wasn't her husband.

You said she bought laxatives, water,

and cigarettes, right?

And rented a hunting cabin.

- Which one? - 12.

It's... it's over here.

I know that place.

It's in Savage Gulf, up by Warren's Point.

Lead the way.

You were so good back at the store.

I need you to be good now.

We have two more days together.

I need you to take them for me.

I'm not taking those pills.

They will get your innards working faster,

and the sooner you are cleared out,

the sooner this will be over.

Hey. Hey!

Oh, buttercup.

Stop calling me that.

Why, buttercup?

You don't like that name?

That's what my mama used to call me.

She was a whore, though.

Are you a whore, too, Maya?

Stop fighting me.

We have to clean you out to make me better.

You're gonna cure me.

Your baby sac's gonna fix me good.

Damn it, get back here!

FBI!

God.

Drop the knife!

Stay with Maya! We got Fuller.

Maya, stop!

Maya! The FBI!

Just stop! We're trying to help!

Maya!

Help!

Nina, do you have him?

No.

Barnes?

Negative.

Where the hell did he go?

I see a shack.

Hey, Fuller!

FBI!

Come out with your hands up!

Fuller, you hear me?

We got the place surrounded.

Nowhere to go.

Oh, God, that smell.

- Oh. - Who is she?

Another poor soul.

She's been eviscerated, like the others.

This is where he field dresses his victims,

where the blood drains into the river.

Ugh.

Guys.

He was here.

He left his knife and took this gun.

He's got us right where he wants us.

He can't be far.

Go, go, go.

Fuller, drop your weapon!

Subject down.

We got the sick son of a bitch.

It's a hell of a shot.

Yeah, still doesn't feel like justice.

Remy, we found Maya.

West trail about 100 yards in.

We need your help. - Go.

I'll take care of him and the Jane Doe in the shack.

Let's set up around this tree.

Remy.

Here, this is ready to go.

All right. Let's take this thing.

- You ready? - Yeah.

Okay. - Okay.

That's good.

I'm going over.

More rope. More rope.

Hold tight, Maya!

I'm coming.

Let's lower him down. Keep going.

Careful, Remy!

Almost there.

I'm slipping.

Stay where you are.

Don't move.

Little lower.

I got you, don't worry.

Yeah, stay still.

That's it.

Little lower, guys.

Lower!

Try to grab my

that's it. Almost. Almost. Almost.

Come on.

I got you.

I got her.

He's got her.

Come on, let's bring her up.

Come on.

We're too heavy.

Not up, down.

All right, back down.

Back down. Back down.

That's it. Nice and slow.

Nice and slow.

That's it. I got you. I got you.

Okay.

That's it.

It's good. It's good.

Almost there.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You're safe.

Your baby's safe.

You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.

Char, what are you doing sitting in the dark?

You're home from work early.

Is the trial over?

No.

What's going on? Where are the kids?

They're with your mother.

We need to talk.

Those are never good words to hear.

What's going on?

Charlotte, did something happen?

I can't put this off any longer.

You can't put what off any longer?

I met someone.
