All language subtitles for Criminal Minds s15e08 _English

GET OUT OF HERE!

WHAT HAPPENED?

IDIOT ASKED IF HE COULD
PAY WITH A ROLL OF STAMPS.

STAMPS? LIKE FROM
THE POST OFFICE?

HELL, YEAH,
FROM THE POST OFFICE.

THEY WERE STILL IN THAT
LITTLE DUMB, CRINKLY PACKAGE.

WERE THEY AT LEAST
FOREVER STAMPS?

THEY WAS SOME STICK-IT-WHERE-
THE-SUN-DON'T-SHINE STAMPS.

I TOLD HIM, HOW AM
I SUPPOSED TO PUT FOOD ON
THE TABLE WITH THAT?

WOMAN:
I'LL FIND SOMEBODY ELSE.

MAN, VOICE-OVER:
MOST PEOPLE IN LIFE
DESERVE BETTER THAN THEY GOT.

THAT'S A PLAIN AND SIMPLE FACT.

BUT I TRULY BELIEVE
THINGS CAN GET BETTER

IF YOU ONLY WISH IT HARD ENOUGH.

AND THAT WAY, I GUESS
YOU COULD SAY I'M AN OPTIMIST.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR
LEG, SWEETIE?

I TORE A LIGAMENT.

WANT ME TO HELP
MAKE IT BETTER?

50 BUCKS. EXTRAS,
THE PRICE GOES UP.

CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION FIRST?

PERSONAL QUESTION?

SURE, HONEY.
FIRE AWAY.

IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO GET AWAY
FROM ALL OF THIS,

FRESH START,
WOULD YOU COME WITH ME?

YOU'D--YOU'D
REALLY DO THAT?

I ABSOLUTELY WOULD.

BUT WHY?
LOOK AT ME.

I'M JUST A--I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.

DOESN'T MATTER.

COME AWAY WITH YOU?

I DON'T NEED TO BE
REFORMED, HON.

I JUST NEED
THE 50 BUCKS.

MAN, VOICE-OVER: BUT ALL
THE OPTIMISM IN THE WORLD
DOESN'T MEAN A THING

IF PEOPLE AREN'T READY
TO HELP THEMSELVES.

I KNOW WHAT I DO
IS WRONG, BUT...

THERE'S NOT ALWAYS A GOOD CHOICE
TO BE MADE IN LIFE.

SOMETIMES, YOU NEED TO PICK
THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.

EACH TIME I DO THIS,

I CAN FEEL SOMETHING
DIE INSIDE OF ME.

IT'S AWFUL. I DON'T THINK YOU
APPRECIATE HOW AWFUL IT IS.

AND WHAT SCARES ME THE MOST IS

I'M GOING TO TURN INTO
SOMETHING EVIL, TOO,

BIT BY BIT, GRADUAL,

SO SLOWLY,
I WON'T EVEN NOTICE

UNTIL ONE DAY, SUDDENLY,
THAT'S ALL I AM...

PURE EVIL.

NOTHING ELSE.

PRENTISS: I--I HARDLY KNOW
WHAT TO SAY, SIR.

WELL, WE HOPE
YOU'LL SAY YES.

I DON'T NEED
AN ANSWER TODAY.

OUR TRANSITION TIMELINE
IS STILL SEVERAL MONTHS
DOWN THE ROAD.

I JUST WANTED TO
MAKE YOU AWARE FOR NOW.

YOU'VE GOT THAT DEER-IN-
THE-HEADLIGHTS LOOK,
AGENT PRENTISS.

IT'S JUST--
IT'S A LOT TO CONSIDER...

DIRECTOR OF THE FBI.

WELL, I'M NOT GONNA
SUGARCOAT IT.

IT'S A POLITICAL
POSITION

AND THE VETTING PROCESS
CAN BE GRUELING,

BUT YOU WOULDN'T BE
ON THE SHORT LIST

IF WE DIDN'T THINK
YOU COULD HANDLE IT.

I'M HONORED, SIR.

AND IF I CAN OFFER
A PERSONAL ASIDE,

AFTER 100-PLUS YEARS,
I THINK IT'S HIGH TIME

THE BUREAU HAD A FEMALE
AT THE HELM.

AH...

THINK ABOUT IT.

NOW, UNTIL I HAVE
AN ANSWER,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK
THAT THIS REMAINS
CONFIDENTIAL.

OF COURSE.
THANK YOU, SIR.

RIGHT.

GARCIA: SPILL,
WHY DON'T YOU?
HOW WAS NEW ORLEANS?

OH, IT WAS WONDERFUL.

THE BOYS HAD A BALL GETTING
TO KNOW THEIR COUSINS,

WILL RECONNECTED
WITH HIS OLD CROWD,

AND I ATE SO MANY OYSTERS,

I'M PRETTY SURE I HAVE
PEARLS GROWING IN ME.

MORE LIKELY WHAT'S
GROWING INSIDE OF YOU
IS VIBRIO VULNIFICUS.

IT'S A BACTERIAL
CONTAMINATION

CAUSED BY EATING
RAW SEAFOOD.

THERE'S 52,000
CASES A YEAR IN THE
UNITED STATES ALONE.

I FORGOT WE INVITED
THE FUN POLICE.

IGNORE HIM. THAT'S
WHAT LEMON JUICE IS FOR.

YOU SQUIRT THAT ON STUFF,
AND IT KILLS ALL THE BACTERIA.

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE
NOT MY PRIMARY CARE
PHYSICIAN.

OK, THAT WAS GROSS
AND I'M GONNA
CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

CAN THE TWO OF YOU
KEEP A SECRET?

HE CAN. I CAN'T.

TELL US ANYWAY?

OK, SO THE FIELD OFFICE
DOWN THERE HAS AN OPENING.

THE JOB'S MINE
IF I WANT IT.

IN NEW ORLEANS?
YEAH.

WAIT. YOU'RE LEAVING?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
WERE LOOKING AT
OTHER THINGS.

I'M NOT. I PUT MY NAME
ON THE O.P. LIST THERE,

LIKE YEARS AGO, AND I
COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT,

BUT APPARENTLY MY NAME
HAS WORKED ITS WAY TO THE TOP.

WHY...I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO FEEL ABOUT THIS.

I MEAN, I SHOULD
BE HAPPY FOR YOU,

BUT THAT MEANS YOU'RE
THERE AND NOT HERE WITH US.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
IF YOU'RE NOT HERE?

[BEEP]
AND THAT'S EMILY.
WE HAVE A CASE.

THIS CONVERSATION
IS NOT OVER.

I DIDN'T SAY I WAS
GONNA TAKE IT.

SORRY.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR
DIDN'T BEAT YOU UP
TOO MUCH, DID HE?

UH, NO. JUST THE USUAL
BUMPS AND BRUISES.
PENELOPE?

TODAY'S TOKE OF ICK
HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO US

BY BEAUMONT, TEXAS,
WHERE A BUSINESSMAN,
TOM MITCHELL,

WAS FOUND LAST NIGHT
IN THE DUMPSTER.

CORONERS SAY HE WAS THERE
AT LEAST 3 DAYS.

EARLIER IN THE WEEK,
THE BODY OF A PROSTITUTE
NAMED ELIZABETH McBRIDE

WAS DISCOVERED
IN A SHALLOW GRAVE

LESS THAN A MILE
FROM THAT DUMPSTER.

WHY DO WE THINK THE
MURDERS ARE CONNECTED?

BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM
WERE MISSING THEIR TONGUES
AND THEIR EARS...

AND THEIR HANDS. AND CAN
SOMEONE START TALKING

SO I CAN STOP
THINKING ABOUT--

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
THAT'S THE END OF IT.

IN THE LAST 48 HOURS,
TOBY STEMPLE, A PROMINENT
LOCAL ATTORNEY,

AND ANOTHER PROSTITUTE, CINDY
WILSON, HAVE ALSO GONE MISSING.

REID: AFFLUENT MEN
AND STREET PROSTITUTES.

THIS UNSUB'S TARGETING
TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT
VICTIM TYPES.

JAREAU: OH, MAYBE THE MEN
WERE CLIENTS OF THE WOMEN.

THIS COULD BE ABOUT REVENGE.

OR SOMEONE
WHO DISAPPROVES,
A MORAL ENFORCER.

ALVEZ: YEAH, HANDS,
EARS, TONGUES.

THE MUTILATION
IS ROUGH.

HOPEFULLY, THIS IS
ALL POST-MORTEM.

BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER,
THIS IS PERSONAL
ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT.

PARDON THE EXPRESSION.

WELL, LET'S GET ON IT.
WHEELS UP IN 20.

GIVE ME CREDIT FOR TRYING
TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

BUT YOU NEED TO FIND ME.

YOU NEED TO STOP ME.

PLEASE.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
ABC STUDIOS, LLC AND CBS, INC.

MAN, VOICE-OVER: THERE'S
A SCOTTISH PROVERB:

"THEY TALK OF MY DRINKING
BUT NEVER MY THIRST."

PRENTISS: SO, THE VICTIMOLOGY
BETWEEN TOM MITCHELL
AND ELIZABETH McBRIDE

COULD NOT BE
MORE DIFFERENT.

SIMMONS: AND HE WAS A
WEALTHY, WELL-RESPECTED
MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY,

CHURCHGOER, COACHED
HIS SON'S BASKETBALL TEAM.

LEWIS: SHE,
ON THE OTHER HAND,

HAD THE SADLY FAMILIAR
TRAJECTORY OF
A TROUBLED YOUTH,

ADDICTION,
SPORADIC HOMELESSNESS.

EARS AND TONGUES REMOVED.

AND...WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL?

JAREAU: BUT HE LEAVES
THE EYES.

SO IT'S OK TO SEE EVIL?

YOU GUYS, WE WERE RIGHT
TO BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT
THING WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT.

THE POLICE JUST FOUND THE BODIES
OF THE TWO MISSING PEOPLE.

WHERE?

GARCIA: WELL, THE ATTORNEY,
TOBY STEMPLE,

WAS FOUND IN
AN ABANDONED INCINERATOR,

AND THIS CINDY WILSON
WAS FOUND BURIED IN THE
WOODS LIKE THE OTHER WOMAN.

AS FAR AS THE MISSING
BODY PARTS GO,

SUFFICE TO SAY
SECOND VERSE, SAME AS THE FIRST.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A STARK CONTRAST
IN DISPOSAL METHODS

AS WELL AS VICTIMOLOGY.

THE WOMEN ARE BURIED
WITH CARE IN SECLUDED AREAS.

THE MEN HE DISCARDS
IN PUBLIC PLACES LIKE TRASH.

YEAH, BIG-TIME
ANGER IMBALANCE.

LUKE, SPENCE, GO TO
THE M.E.'S OFFICE.

J.J., TARA, SEE IF
ANY OTHER WOMEN WHO
WORK THE STREETS

HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.

MATT, YOU'LL TALK
TO THE FAMILIES
OF THE MALE VICTIMS.

DAVE AND I WILL SET UP
WITH THE LOCAL P.D.

MAN: WE'RE GOING THROUGH
OUR MISSING PERSONS REPORTS
FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS,

SEE IF SOMEBODY ELSE
JUMPS OUT.

WERE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH THE VICTIMS?

CINDY AND LIZ, YEAH.

THEY WERE IN ALL THE
TIME FOR SOLICITATION.

THEY WERE GOOD GIRLS
WITH BIG HEARTS.

THEY JUST...WENT DOWN
A TOUGH ROAD IS ALL.

WHAT ABOUT THE MEN?

NO, SIR, BUT
THEY BOTH HAVE MONEY

AND COME FROM OLD,
ESTABLISHED FAMILIES.

I MEAN, THE MITCHELL
CLAN, THE STEMPLE CLAN,

THEY BEEN PART OF
BEAUMONT SINCE FOREVER.

UH, YOU FOLKS CAN
SET UP IN HERE.

THAT'S PERFECT.
THANK YOU.YOU'RE WELCOME.

EXCUSE ME.

CHIEF, YOU NEED
TO SEE THIS.

DID THIS COME
IN THE MAIL?

WOMAN: NO. ONE OF OUR
OFFICERS STOPPED FOR COFFEE,

AND IT WAS ON THE HOOD
OF HIS SQUAD CAR WHEN
HE CAME OUT.

LET'S RUN THEM FOR PRINTS.

BOTH EARS.

BUT THEN HE ONLY
TOOK ONE HAND FROM
EACH OF THE VICTIMS,

THE LEFT HAND.

MERCIFULLY, THE VICTIMS
WERE ALREADY DEAD

WHEN THE BODY PARTS
WERE REMOVED.

SO WE'RE PROBABLY
NOT DEALING WITH
A SADIST.

WERE YOU ABLE TO
DETERMINE THE COD?

THE WOMEN,
MANUAL STRANGULATION;

THE MEN DIED FROM
MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS.

IT'S NOT EASY TO
DISARTICULATE A HAND
AT THE WRIST.

DID THEY DEMONSTRATE
ANY SURGICAL SKILL?

WITH THE WOMEN, YES.
IF NOT SKILL, AT LEAST CARE.

REMOVALS WERE CLEAN
AND PRECISE.

AMPUTATIONS ON THE MEN
WERE MUCH CRUDER.

ANY DEFENSIVE WOUNDS?

NO. THE MEN DID HAVE
BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA

TO THE BACK OF
THEIR SKULLS, THOUGH.

BLITZ ATTACKED.

NO SUCH INJURIES
ON THE WOMEN,

BUT SEDATIVES DID SHOW UP
ON BOTH THEIR TOX SCREENS.

GIVEN THEIR HISTORY
OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE,

IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT
TO SAY WITH ANY CERTAINTY

WHETHER OR NOT THE UNSUB
DRUGGED THEM.

THEY MIGHT HAVE
SELF-MEDICATED

AS PART OF THEIR
NORMAL DAILY ROUTINE.

ONE MORE THING--
THE WOMEN WERE NUDE

BUT DIDN'T SHOW ANY EVIDENCE
OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.

AND THEIR BURIAL WAS WHAT I
GUESS YOU COULD CALL CEREMONIAL.

IN WHAT WAY?

THEY WERE WRAPPED
IN A WHITE SHEET

AND BURIED FACE-DOWN.

A WHITE SHEET? COULD BE
A SYMBOL OF PURITY.

YOU KNOW, TRY TO RESTORE
THEIR LOST INNOCENCE?

WELL, I TALKED TO TOM MITCHELL
AND TOBY STEMPLE'S WIVES,

AND THEY BOTH SWEAR THEIR
HUSBANDS WOULD NEVER
FREQUENT A PROSTITUTE.

WELL, THEY NEVER DO
UNTIL THEY DO.

I BROUGHT IN
KAYLA JACKSON.

SHE WORKED THE STREETS
WITH CINDY WILSON.

SHE SAW THE UNSUB WITH HER
THE DAY CINDY DISAPPEARED.

THIS IS HER DESCRIPTION.

KAYLA SAID IT WAS
SUCH A GOOD LIKENESS,

IT SENT CHILLS
DOWN HER SPINE.

[PEOPLE TALKING AND LAUGHING
INDISTINCTLY]

WOMAN: NO, NO, WAIT. STOP.
STOP. MOM. THAT WASN'T THE DEAL.

COREY AGREED TO PAY HALF,
AND HE HASN'T SENT ME A DIME.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN
DEFEND HIM. I REALLY DON'T.

[SIGHS]

SORRY. GET YOU A REFILL?

NO, I'M GOOD.
I'M GOOD.

EVERYTHING OK?

TRUST ME, YOU DON'T
WANT TO KNOW.

SURE I DO.
TELL ME.

JUST SAME OLD, SAME OLD.

MY EX MOVED TO FLORIDA AND
LEFT ME WITH A PILE OF BILLS,

BILLS HE RAN UP.

AND NOW, EVEN MY OWN
MOTHER'S TAKING HIS SIDE.

THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

OH, MY EX CAN PLAY THE
VICTIM CARD VERY WELL.

ANYHOW, SORRY TO
UNLOAD.

BARTENDER'S SUPPOSED TO
BE THE ONE LISTENING
TO YOUR TROUBLES. HA HA!

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.

WITHOUT FAMILY,
NOTHING MAKES SENSE.

ARE YOU CAR SHOPPING?

YEAH, YEAH. PICKUP
I'VE GOT NOW CAN'T
HANDLE THE MUD.

CAB'S TOO LOW.

HOW'S IT GOING?
DOING GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?

HEY! GOOD LUCK!

WITH THE TRUCK.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE TRUCK.

MAN, ON RECORDING:
GIVE ME CREDIT FOR TRYING
TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

BUT YOU NEED TO FIND ME.

YOU NEED TO STOP ME.

PLEASE.

RESULTS COME BACK?

YEAH. NO SURPRISE.
FORENSICS CONFIRMED

THE BLOOD ON THE EARRING
BELONGS TO CINDY WILSON.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, HIS PRINTS
AREN'T IN THE SYSTEM.

OK, WELL, WE SHOULD GET
THIS TAPE OUT ON THE
AIRWAVES RIGHT AWAY.

THE VOICE IS DISTINCTIVE ENOUGH
THAT SOMEONE MIGHT RECOGNIZE IT.

MAN: GOOD EYE. THAT
ONE JUST CAME ON
THE LOT YESTERDAY.

BO ZACHARY.

WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE
FOR ME TO PUT YOU
IN THIS VEHICLE TODAY?

WELL, I'M NOT HERE
TO BUY A CAR, ACTUALLY.

YOU'RE NOT?
NO. I, UH...

I CAME TO
SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S FROM LYDIA.

LYDIA PARRIS.
YOU REMEMBER HER, RIGHT?

I'M NOT GONNA READ THAT.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT IT SAYS.

ON THAT NIGHT,
31 YEARS AGO,

UNDER THE BIG OAK,

THE TWO OF YOU
CONCEIVED A CHILD...

A LITTLE BOY.

THAT BOY WAS ME.

[VOICE BREAKING]
IT'S BEEN SO MANY
YEARS, I...

T-THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
TO FIX THINGS.

WHAT CAN I DO
TO MAKE IT RIGHT?

I MEAN, HOW
COULD I EVER...

SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY
WE TAKE THIS BABY
OUT FOR A SPIN?

LEWIS: NONE OF THE BODY PARTS
HAVE BEEN RECOVERED.

AND WHAT'S THIS GUY
DOING WITH 'EM?

NORMALLY, YOU'D
THINK SOUVENIRS,

BUT THAT'S A LOT
OF ROTTED FLESH TO HAVE
HANGING AROUND THE HOUSE.

THEY'RE PROBABLY
TROPHIES MEANT
FOR DISPLAY.

YEAH, BUT DISPLAY WHERE?

WELL, THE MEN WERE
IN THEIR 50s, BUT
THE FEMALE VICTIMS

BOTH HAVE A 25-YEAR
AGE VARIANCE.

MAKING IT LESS LIKELY
THE FEMALES ARE SURROGATES.

OR THERE'S SOME
CONFUSION IN THE
UNSUB'S MIND

AS TO WHAT THE
WOMEN REPRESENT.

ELIZABETH AND CINDY
MIGHT MEAN DIFFERENT
THINGS TO HIM.

WELL, HE AGED UP A GENERATION
WITH CINDY WILSON.

SO SEXUALIZING A MOTHER FIGURE?

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN
THE FACE-DOWN BURIALS.

HE FEELS REMORSE.

WELL, THIS UNSUB'S
TAKING FEELING GUILTY
TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

I MEAN, HE SENT A TAPE
TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
BEGGING US TO STOP HIM.

MAN: JUST GOT A PHONE CALL
FROM A CAR DEALER DOWNTOWN.

OWNER TOOK A CUSTOMER
OUT ON A TEST DRIVE
3 HOURS AGO.

NEVER CAME BACK.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

MAN, VOICE-OVER: CAR SALESMAN
GUY ISN'T MY FATHER,

BUT WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

I FEEL BAD
AND I BLAME MYSELF,

BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE MY WILL
ISN'T DEVELOPED ENOUGH.

I HAVEN'T FULLY COMMITTED TO THE
POWER OF VISUALIZATION.

I'M GETTING STRONGER, THOUGH--

STRONGER AND BETTER.

WHICH MEANS THAT TO CATCH ME,

YOU'LL HAVE TO GET
STRONGER AND BETTER, TOO.

I WONDER IF YOU WILL.

[PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

MAN: I APPRECIATE IT.
HOPE WE CAN HELP YOU FIND HIM.

JAREAU: THANKS.

SO, APPARENTLY BO ZACHARY
WAS A PRETTY BIG GUY,

6'2", 220.

NOT SO EASY TO BLITZ ATTACK
SOMEONE LIKE THAT.

UNSUB MUST HAVE HAD
A GUN TO CONTROL HIM.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S STICKING
TO HIS PATTERN OF
ALTERNATING VICTIMS--

BUSINESSMEN,
PROSTITUTES.

EXCEPT THE OTHER TWO MEN
WERE AFFLUENT,

AND ACCORDING TO HIS
EMPLOYEE, BO WAS HAVING
A HARD TIME PAYING THE BILLS.

SO MONEY ISN'T PART OF
THE UNSUB'S VICTIM
SELECTION CRITERIA.

WHAT IS?

TOM MITCHELL
AND TOBY STEMPLE

CAME FROM LONG-ESTABLISHED
FAMILIES HERE, RIGHT?

YEAH. 65 YEARS
WOULD QUALIFY, I THINK.

THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH WEALTH.

ALL OF HIS MALE VICTIMS
HAVE DEEP ROOTS.

MAN, ON RECORDING:
THEY'RE CALLED MOTHER TREES.

THEY SEND OUT NUTRIENTS
TO SEEDLINGS AROUND THEM.

YOU CAN SEE WHY IT'S
MY ALTAR, CAN'T YOU?

THANKS. [BEEP]

JENNIFER CHECKED IN.
LOOKS LIKE THIS UNSUB

IS TARGETING MEN WHO CAME
IN BEAUMONT'S VERSION
OF THE "MAYFLOWER."

ANYTHING NEW?

OH, HE'S ALL OVER
THE PLACE.

HE SAYS, "I'M WEAK,
I'M STRONG. STOP ME.
NO, DON'T STOP ME."

IT'S THE SAME WAY HE
PING-PONGS BETWEEN
VICTIM TYPES.

YOU KNOW, CLEARLY HE
SEES THESE MURDERS
IN TERMS OF PAIRS,

NOT ONE-OFFS,
TWO HALVES TO A WHOLE,

BUT HOW DO THE HALVES
FIT TOGETHER?

I MEAN, ONE GROUP IS
INGRAINED IN THE FABRIC
OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE OTHER IS MARGINALIZED
AND SHUNNED.

PRENTISS: AND THE UNSUB
KEEPS REFERRING TO THIS
TREE AS AN ALTAR.

HE SAID IT
SEVERAL TIMES.

REID: THE CHURCH REFERENCE
MAKES SENSE TO ME

IF THE UNSUB'S
PUNISHING HIS VICTIMS

FOR MORAL INDISCRETIONS.

HE COULD BE UTILIZING
RELIGIOUS ICONOGRAPHY
TO JUSTIFY HIS MURDERS.

OK, SO WHAT ELSE HAPPENS
IN FRONT OF AN ALTAR?

LET'S THINK ABOUT
WHAT HE DOES TO HIS
FEMALE VICTIMS.

HE WRAPS THEM IN WHITE, HE
CUTS OFF THEIR LEFT HANDS.

THE HAND THAT TRADITIONALLY
HOLDS A WEDDING RING.

REMOVAL OF THE TONGUE
COULD SYMBOLIZE

SILENCING SPOKEN
MARRIAGE VOWS.

WHAT IF THE UNSUB SEES
THESE WOMEN AS BRIDES?

PRENTISS: THE UNKNOWN
SUBJECT WE'RE LOOKING
FOR IS A WHITE MALE

IN HIS LATE 20s
TO MID-30s.

HE IS PHYSICALLY FIT,
MOBILE, AND ORGANIZED.

REID: THIS UNSUB
IS TARGETING TWO
VICTIM TYPES--

FEMALE PROSTITUTES
AND BUSINESSMEN

WHO COME FROM FAMILIES
WITH LONG-STANDING TIES
TO THE COMMUNITY.

LEWIS: THIS INDIVIDUAL
IS UNIQUE IN THAT

HE'S REACHED OUT
DIRECTLY TO US

AND SEEMS TO HAVE A GENUINE
DESIRE TO HAVE US PUT
A STOP TO HIS CRIMES,

HOWEVER, HIS COMPULSION
WON'T ALLOW IT.

ALVEZ: EXCERPTS FROM
RECORDINGS HE'S MADE

HAVE BEEN DISSEMINATED
TO THE PUBLIC.

ANYONE WHO THINKS
THEY RECOGNIZE HIS VOICE

NEEDS TO COME FORWARD
IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE OPERATING IN
PUBLIC WHEN HUNTING AND
ABDUCTING HIS VICTIMS,

THE ACTUAL MURDERS
ALMOST CERTAINLY
TAKE PLACE

IN A REMOTE,
SECURE AREA.

JAREAU: CERTAIN RITUAL
ASPECTS OF THE KILLINGS

LEAD US TO BELIEVE
THE UNSUB IS TRYING
TO RE-CREATE

OR PERHAPS MAKE A MOCKERY
OF AN ACTUAL WEDDING.

REID: GIVEN THE VICTIMOLOGY,
THIS PERSON'S ANGER

PROBABLY STEMS FROM
BEING THE PRODUCT OF
A MARRIAGE THAT ENDED

BECAUSE OF A FATHER'S
INFIDELITY WITH A PROSTITUTE.

ALVEZ: BECAUSE ONE OF THE
PROSTITUTES APPEARS TO BE
A MOTHER SURROGATE,

ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS
THAT HE IS THE CHILD OF
A PROSTITUTE HIMSELF.

JAREAU: NOW, WE CANNOT
STRESS ENOUGH THE NEED
FOR HEIGHTENED CAUTION

AND AWARENESS
IN THE COMMUNITY,

ESPECIALLY AMONG THE TWO
HIGH-RISK CATEGORIES.

ROSSI: POLICE PATROLS
WILL BE OUT IN FORCE

IN AREAS THAT PROSTITUTES
AND THEIR CUSTOMERS

ARE KNOWN TO FREQUENT.

THIS PRESS CONFERENCE
IS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT,

MEDIA, AND THE
GENERAL PUBLIC,

BUT WE ARE ALSO ADDRESSING
THE PERPETRATOR OF THESE
CRIMES HIMSELF.

YOU PLEADED WITH US
TO STOP YOU.

ALLOW US TO HELP.

THIS CAN END NOW,
IF YOU WANT.

FULL DISCLOSURE.
FEAR OF CHANGE IS
FORCING ME

TO CONTINUE TO EAT
FROZEN DESSERT FOODS.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?

WE THINK OUR UNSUB
IS THE SON OF A COUPLE
WHO USED TO LIVE IN BEAUMONT.

GARCIA: OH, MY GOSH.
DO YOU THINK THAT, NEWBIE?

OH, MY GOSH. YOU JUST
NARROWED THE CANDIDATES

TO LIKE 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE.

IT'S JUST THE SUGAR
TALKING.

WE ALSO THINK THAT
HIS MOTHER MAY OR MAY NOT

HAVE WORKED AS A
PROSTITUTE AT ONE TIME.

BUT DAD IS PROBABLY A MEMBER
OF ONE OF THE PROMINENT,
LONG-ENTRENCHED FAMILIES HERE.

MOM AND DAD MARRIED?

IT'S UNSURE.
I MEAN, ASPECTS OF
A WEDDING RITUAL

ARE TANGLED UP
IN HIS M.O.,

BUT IT COULD JUST BE
PROJECTION ON HIS PART,
YOU KNOW?

WISHFUL THINKING.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
AN ENGAGEMENT THAT FELL THROUGH.

GARCIA: OK, I AM ON IT.

BY THE WAY,
IS J.J. THERE?

NO, WHY?

GARCIA: ALL RIGHT,
YOU PULLED THIS OUT FROM ME

AND YOU DID NOT
HEAR IT FROM ME,

BUT SHE'S THINKING ABOUT
TAKING A JOB IN NEW ORLEANS.

WHAT?GARCIA: I KNOW, RIGHT?

HENCE FORTHWITH,
MY LIPS ARE SEALED,

BUT YOU ONLY KNOW THAT
INFORMATION SO WE CAN
GANG UP ON HER

AND TALK HER OUT OF IT.

I'M SO MAD THAT YOU
MADE ME TELL YOU THAT!

[BEEP]

NOT MY FAULT, J.J.

I TOLD YOU I WASN'T GOOD
AT KEEPING SECRETS.

I TOLD YOU. I TOLD YOU.

ONE BEER, SHAWN?
I DON'T KNOW.

I MIGHT HAVE TO CUT
YOU OFF AFTER THIS.
I'M KIDDING!

HOW'S YOUR WIFE DOING?

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

OK. GIVE ME
TWO SECONDS.

NO. I NEED TO
TALK TO YOU NOW.

WHOA, NOT COOL!
THAT WAS REALLY RUDE!

THIS IS GONNA
SOUND CRAZY, OK,

BUT THERE'S THIS PLACE
NEARBY IN THE WOODS.

IT'S THIS TREE LIKE NO OTHER
TREE YOU'VE EVER SEEN
BEFORE IN YOUR LIFE.

IT WAS WHERE I WAS
CONCEIVED, ACTUALLY,
AND...

I'M SORRY. I CAN TELL
BY THE WAY YOU'RE
LOOKING AT ME

THAT I'M GOING
WAY TOO FAST,
SO LET ME BACK UP.

UM, IT WASN'T A MISTAKE
THAT WE MET,

THAT YOU TOLD ME ABOUT
YOUR FAMILY BEFORE I
EVEN KNEW WHO YOU WERE.

I NEED TO GET
BACK TO WORK.

NO. YOU'RE NOT HEARING
WHAT I'M SAYING.

COME WITH ME...NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I CAN'T JUST LEAVE.
THIS IS MY JOB.

FORGET THIS PLACE!
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

IS SO MUCH MORE
THAN THIS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE CHANCE FOR A
BRAND-NEW START.

HOW DO I KNOW
I CAN TRUST YOU?

LOOK AT ME.

I WOULD NEVER
TRY TO DECEIVE YOU,

NOT ABOUT THIS.

A NEW START.

ALL RIGHT, SPORT.
IT'S TIME TO GO.

THANK YOU, NICK.

WAIT, WHAT?

I SAID IT'S
TIME TO GO.

JUST GET OFF. GET OFF!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU SHOW YOUR FACE
AROUND HERE AGAIN,
I'M CALLING THE COPS.

YOU STILL GOT IT,
BABY GIRL.

[RINGING]

WHAT IS IT, GARCIA?

I SEARCHED BIRTH RECORDS
IN BEAUMONT FROM 1987 TO 1992.

THERE WERE 20,000 BABIES BORN.

BUT WHEN YOU APPLY GARCIA'S
LAW OF DIDDLYSQUAT,

THINGS NARROW DOWN CONSIDERABLY.

ROSSI:
LAW OF DIDDLYSQUAT?

GARCIA: SIMPLY STATED,
WHERE THERE SHOULD BE GOBS
OF INFORMATION ABOUT SOMEONE

OR SOMETHING AND YOU
FIND DIDDLYSQUAT,

THERE IS GOLD IN DEM DER HILLS
AND DIG DOWN.

PRENTISS: THE GOLD
THIS TIME BEING...

IN 1989, THERE WAS
A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL--

LET'S CALL HER GIRL X.

SHE GOT PREGNANT,
FATHER UNKNOWN--

LET'S CALL HIM BOY X.

SHE HAD A HISTORY
OF DRUG ISSUES.

SHE WAS ARRESTED TWICE
FOR SOLICITATION.

DO WE KNOW HER NAME?

GARCIA: NOT YET.
THEY'RE BOTH JUVENILES,

SO THOSE RECORDS
ARE SEALED TIGHT.

BEAUMONT IS A
DECENT-SIZE CITY.

THAT COULDN'T HAVE
BEEN THE ONLY BIRTH

DURING THAT
TIMEFRAME THAT
RAISED EYEBROWS.

CORRECT. SO I FOLLOWED
THE MONEY.

GIRL X FILED
FOR CHILD SUPPORT,

A LOT OF CHILD SUPPORT.

OBVIOUSLY, SHE THOUGHT
SHE WAS GONNA GET IT.

BOY X'S PARENTS
WERE WELL-OFF.

GARCIA:
THAT'S WHERE MY MIND WENT.

OOH! AND...SEALED TIGHT
IS JUST GARCIA-SPEAK

FOR UNSEALED
WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE GIRL'S NAME--
LYDIA PARRIS.

DO WE KNOW
WHERE SHE IS NOW?

NOT YET,
BUT WE WILL.

ROSSI: DOES IT
INDICATE WHETHER
SHE GOT THE MONEY?

GARCIA: NO, BUT SHE GOT IT.

BEFORE BABY, LYDIA
WAS HUSTLING FOR DRUG MONEY.

AFTER, MOTHER AND SON MOVED TO
HOUSTON, LIVED IN STYLE--

NEW CAR, NICE APARTMENT.

YOU SURE YOU'RE OK?

YEAH, YEAH, THAT GUY
WAS A NUT JOB,
BUT HE WAS HARMLESS.

WOMAN: HEY, NICK,
YOU MIND GIVING ME A HAND?

JUST BE CAREFUL,
ALL RIGHT?

OK.

AAH! MMM!

OH! YOU ARE
A LIFESAVER.
THANK YOU.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

WHAT DO YOU GOT,
PENELOPE?

GARCIA: I HAVE THE
SAD CONCLUSION OF THE
LYDIA PARRIS SAGA.

LIFE DID NOT IMPROVE FOR HER
ONCE SHE LEFT BEAUMONT.

PRENTISS:
WHAT HAPPENED?

MORE OF THE SAME--
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, HOMELESSNESS.

SHE DIED OF CIRRHOSIS
3 MONTHS AGO IN GALVESTON.

THERE'S YOUR TRIGGER.WHAT ABOUT HER SON?

GARCIA: I'M STILL TRYING
TO TRACK HIM DOWN.

HE LEFT HOME EARLY
AND THEN FELL OFF THE GRID.

AND THE FATHER?

GARCIA:
BOY X REMAINS BOY X.

MONEY'LL BUY YOU
A LOT OF ANONYMITY.

I'LL HIT YOU BACK
WHEN I HAVE MORE.

YEP. THAT'S THE GUY.

AND THE NAME OF THE BARTENDER
IS BECKY SILVERMAN?

LOOK, SOMETHING
BAD HAPPENED.

HER CAR'S STILL PARKED
IN THE ALLEY.

HER HANDBAG'S ON THE GROUND.
SHE'S NOT ANSWERING HER CELL.

AND YOU SAID THAT
SHE HAD AN ENCOUNTER
WITH THIS MAN

EARLIER
IN THE AFTERNOON?

GUY HAD BEEN HANGING
AROUND THE BAR
PAST FEW DAYS.

BECKY SAID HE WAS CRAZY.HOW SO?

HE WENT OFF ABOUT THIS TREE
THEY HAD TO GO SEE.

BUT UP UNTIL
THE LAST FEW DAYS,

YOU'D NEVER SEEN
THIS MAN BEFORE?

NO. BECKY SAID HE WAS
LOOKING THROUGH
A CAR FLYER.

HE NEEDED A PICKUP
THAT COULD HANDLE MUD?

MUD? HAS IT BEEN
RAINING RECENTLY?

IT'S BEEN BONE DRY
FOR MONTHS.

[GASPING]

COME ON.

SHH...

PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T
HURT ME, PLEASE!

SHH...SHH.

IT'S RIGHT NEARBY.

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU.

AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK
HERE AND GET READY.

SO WHEREVER HE'S TAKING
HIS VICTIMS HAS GOT TO
BE SOMEWHERE PRIVATE,

A PLACE HE KNOWS OTHERS
WOULDN'T DISTURB HIM.

THERE'S LOTS OF PLACES
LIKE THAT AROUND HERE.

TURNS PRETTY RURAL, YOU JUST GET
A COUPLE MILES OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

OK, APPARENTLY HE NEEDED
A TRUCK THAT COULD
TRAVERSE DEEP MUD,

BUT IT HASN'T RAINED
AROUND HERE FOR WEEKS.

YEAH, WELL, THIS IS
BAYOU COUNTRY, REMEMBER.

THERE ARE SOME AREAS
THAT ARE PRONE TO ON-AND-OFF
FLOODING YEAR-ROUND.

WHICH PLACES?

OH, SOUTHEAST OF...

[CRYING]
I HAVEN'T DONE
ANYTHING TO YOU!

COME ON!

HEY, HEY, HEY,
THIS IS IT.

UHH!

HEY, HEY, HEY, THIS
IS OUR PLACE. OK?

WE CAN MAKE
A FRESH START HERE.

OK? OK, JUST
THE TWO OF US.

THESE ARE THE
FLOOD ZONES.

I SENT A COPY
OFF TO GARCIA.

THERE MUST BE 15,000,
20,000 ACRES HERE. WE
NEED TO NARROW IT DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S THINK.
IMAGINE YOU ARE BOY X.

YOU'RE FROM
A PROMINENT FAMILY,

BUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND
IS A WRONG-SIDE-OF-
THE-TRACKS TYPE.

WHERE WOULD YOU GO
FOR A TRYST?

YOU CAN'T RISK BEING SEEN.
YOU'D GO OFF TO THE
COUNTRYSIDE.

OK, BUT NOT JUST
ANY COUNTRYSIDE.

A PLACE YOU KNOW,
IDEALLY, A PLACE
YOU CONTROL.

PROBABLY THE BOY'S
FAMILY OWNS.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

GARCIA.I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!

I GOT THE FLOOD MAP, BUT
IT'S A LOT TO WADE THROUGH.

EXCUSE THE ROSSI SCHOOL OF
BEING UNINTENTIONALLY PUNNY.

PRENTISS: NARROW
YOUR SEARCH TO LAND
THAT'S BEEN OWNED

BY THE SAME FAMILY FOR
AT LEAST 3 GENERATIONS.

GARCIA: OH, THAT
HELPS ENORMOUSLY.

THE ONES CLOSEST TO
THE CITY LIMITS ARE...

CRAWFORD, STANFORD,
AND BOWMAN RANCHES.

ALVEZ: CHECK THE
FAMILIES' HISTORIES,

SEE IF ANY FLARES
GO OFF.

PLEASE LET ME GO.
I WON'T TELL ANYBODY,
I SWEAR!

SEE THAT TREE?
IT'S WHERE I BEGAN.

A PLACE LIKE THAT, IT...

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
THING IN THE WORLD...

LIKE YOU.

WHY DID YOU PUT
THOSE THINGS ON IT?

TO HONOR WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT?

BRINGING TOGETHER
WHAT SHOULD ALWAYS
HAVE BEEN TOGETHER

BUT WASN'T.

SEE, ALL MY MOTHER
EVER WANTED WAS A FAMILY.

SHE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH
FOR HIM, THOUGH.

BUT TREES, THEY'RE...

THEY SENSE THINGS.

THEY REGENERATE.

I KNOW HOW THIS SOUNDS.

DON'T! DON'T!
DO NOT TOUCH ME!

DIDN'T YOU HEAR
WHAT I SAID? I...

THIS IS OUR CHANCE

TO MAKE SOMETHING
WRONG RIGHT AGAIN.

YOU ARE INSANE.

YOU'RE NOT ANY
DIFFERENT, ARE YOU?

IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
TAKE ME BACK. I'LL--

YOU'RE NO
DIFFERENT AT ALL.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE.

TSK.

BUT YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'VE GOT A SICKNESS,
BUT YOU CAN GET HELP.

I'LL HELP YOU GET HELP.

NO.

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE.

[CRYING]

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WE ASKED GARCIA
TO LOOK FOR FLARES.
SHE MAY HAVE FOUND ONE.

BILLY CRAWFORD.

THAT'S OUR UNSUB?

FATHER OF OUR UNSUB.
BOY X.

30 YEARS BACK, BILLY WAS
KNOWN AS A WILD KID

WHO SLUMMED IT
WITH LYDIA'S CROWD.

SAME TIME SHE GOT PREGNANT,

HE WAS ABRUPTLY SHIPPED
OFF TO A BOARDING SCHOOL
IN CONNECTICUT.

FAMILY PAID OFF THE GIRL
AND THAT WAS THE END OF IT.

WE KNOW WHERE
BILLY IS NOW?

HE DIED OF CANCER
5 YEARS AGO.

SO WITH LYDIA'S
RECENT DEATH,

THE UNSUB, IN EFFECT,
WAS ORPHANED.

SIMMONS: AND CAME BACK
TO BEAUMONT WHERE IT
ALL STARTED

TO TRY TO FIX IT.

THE FAMILY OWNS A RANCH
JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

IT'S MOSTLY DENSE WOOD,
BUT GARCIA HAS A SATELLITE
PHOTO OF A CLEARING

WITH ONE VERY LARGE TREE.

HELP! SOMEBODY!

SCREAM ALL YOU WANT.
THERE'S NOBODY OUT HERE.

OK. OK, LET'S DO
WHAT YOU SAID
OUT BY THE TREE.

LET'S MAKE A NEW START.

NO, YOU'RE JUST SCARED.
SCARED PEOPLE WILL
SAY ANYTHING.

NOW I NEED TO FIND
A BRANCH JUST FOR YOU.

[SIREN]

PRENTISS: STOP! FBI!

DROP IT!

UHH!
[GUN CLICKS]
DAMN IT.

UHH!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
I HEARD GUNSHOTS.

ONE LAST CHANCE.

WE LEAVE NOW,
TOGETHER.

THIS IS IT.

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

OK.

WHAT?

I SAID OK.
LET'S DO IT.

WELL, HOW DO I KNOW
YOU'RE--

KISS ME.

DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW?

YES.

YES!

I LOVE YOU.

I'VE LOVED YOU FROM
THE MOMENT I SAW YOU.

WHAT?

W-WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

[GUNSHOT]

DAVE, ARE YOU OK?

YEAH.

MATT SAW A CABIN
OVER NEAR THE RIDGE.

WE SHOULD GO ASSIST.

THIS WAS NEVER GONNA
END ANY OTHER WAY.

I KNOW.

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

PRENTISS: UH-HUH. OK. BYE.

BECKY SILVERMAN'S SHAKEN UP,
BUT SHE'S GONNA BE OK.

ROSSI SAID THE POLICE
FOUND MORE RECORDINGS
IN THE UNSUB'S CABIN?

YEAH, YEAH,
WE'VE GOT 'EM.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE 'EM
BACK TO QUANTICO.

IT MIGHT SHED LIGHT
ON THE MURDERS WE
DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

THAT TREE HAD A LOT
MORE BODY PARTS

THAN 5 VICTIMS
COULD PRODUCE.

TACKLE THOSE TAPES
TOMORROW.

I THINK ALL OF US
HAVE HAD MORE THAN
ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY.

HEY. MAY I BUG YOU
FOR A SECOND?

PLEASE DO.

THERE'S A RUMOR
FLOATING AROUND...

HA. PENELOPE.

IS NEW ORLEANS SOMETHING
YOU'RE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT SORT OF
CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

BUT BELIEVE ME, I'M
NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING

WITHOUT CONSULTING
ALL OF YOU FIRST.

THEY WOULD BE
LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.

BUT SOMETHING
TO FACTOR IN, YOU KNOW,
SHOULD THINGS GET SERIOUS.

IF I WERE TO MOVE ON
FROM MY POSITION,

I HAD YOU IN MIND
TO TAKE OVER AS UNIT CHIEF.

WHOA, WAIT. ARE YOU--

NO. AT LEAST NOT UNTIL
I'VE CONSULTED WITH
ALL OF YOU.

BUT I WANTED YOU
TO KNOW THAT WHEN
YOU WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS.

THAT'S ALL.

EMILY...

UM, THANK YOU.

THAT MEANS A LOT
THAT YOU SAID THAT.

MAN, ON RECORDING:
I'M NOT CRAZY.

I KNOW THESE PEOPLE
I FIND. THEY'RE NOT
MY REAL PARENTS.

BUT THE WEIRD THING IS,

SOMETIMES PRETENDING ISN'T JUST
AS GOOD AS THE REAL THING.

IT'S BETTER.

ANYTHING INTERESTING?

IT'S STRANGE.

ON THE ONE HAND,
THE UNSUB WAS TORN
APART BY REMORSE

AND LIVING IN THE WORST
POSSIBLE HELL YOU CAN IMAGINE,

BUT THEN IN THE NEXT INSTANT,
IT WAS LIKE HE WAS IN SOME
KIND OF A FAIRY TALE

FILLED WITH WONDERMENT
AND DELIGHT.

EARLIER TAPE REFLECTED
THE SAME DUALITY.

HE WAS SPLIT BY A DEEP
PSYCHOLOGICAL AND
EMOTIONAL FISSURE.

YEAH, BUT HE WASN'T
A SCHIZOPHRENIC OR
EVEN A SOCIOPATH, REALLY.

I MEAN, HIS M.O. WAS
WELL-ORGANIZED AND EFFICIENT.

COULD JUST BE THE
TWO SEPARATE AND
CONFLICTING REALITIES

CO-EXISTED
INSIDE OF HIM.

YEAH, ALMOST LIKE HE HAD
SOME KIND OF A FANTASY LIFE

THAT WOULD TAKE OVER
FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU KNOW?

LIKE A COPING MECHANISM.

WELL, CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR
WHAT YOU FIND.

YEAH.
SLEEP WELL.

YOU TOO.

[CLICK]
MAN, ON RECORDING:
THERE'S THIS FEELING

THAT COMES OVER ME RIGHT BEFORE
I KNOW I'M GOING TO DO IT.

IF ONLY I KNEW HOW TO
DESCRIBE IT TO YOU.

HEY. WE STILL ON FOR SHOOTING
RANGE PRACTICE TOMORROW?

RIGHT NOW, ALL I WANT TO
DO IS GET HOME AND HAVE
A DRINK WITH KRYSTALL.

CAN WE PLAY IT BY EAR?

OF COURSE.

EVERYTHING OK?

YEAH.

I GUESS I'M FEELING
A LITTLE RATTLED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU KNOW, IT TOOK
THE WHOLE FLIGHT BACK
TO FIGURE IT OUT,

BUT THEN IT HIT ME.

THE LAST TIME I CHASED
AN UNSUB THROUGH THE WOODS,

I DAMN NEAR DIED.

EVERETT LYNCH.

I KNOW THAT
PTSD IS REAL.

GOD KNOWS, WE'VE BOTH
SEEN ENOUGH OF IT
IN WARTIME.

UNFORTUNATELY,
WE HAVE.

BUT BECAUSE I NEVER
FELL VICTIM TO IT
MYSELF,

I GUESS I'VE LIVED MY
LIFE WITH A SLIVER OF...

ARROGANCE.

WHICH IS?

THAT I WAS IMMUNE
TO PTSD.

IT'S MIND OVER MATTER.

WELL, THANKS TO
EVERETT LYNCH,

I'M NOT IMMUNE NOW.

WELL, LYNCH HAS BEEN QUIET
SINCE HE KILLED HIS DAUGHTER.

COULD BE HE'S GONE DORMANT.
THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.

BTK, ZODIAC.

NO, NOT LYNCH. HE'S
A DIFFERENT KIND
OF ANIMAL.

I THINK HE'S
ADJUSTED HIS M.O.,

AND WE'RE JUST NOT
AWARE OF HIS ACTIVITY.

WELL, I HOPE TO HELL
YOU'RE WRONG.

BUT THE ONE THING
I STILL CAN'T
FIGURE OUT,

IS WHY HE LET ME LIVE.

IT CERTAINLY WASN'T
OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF HIS HEART.

WHAT MATTERS IS THAT
HE DID, AND BECAUSE
OF THAT,

YOU ARE GOING HOME TONIGHT
TO A GREAT WOMAN

AND A COLD, COLD MARTINI.

KRYSTALL'S DRINK,
NOT MINE.

OH, OK.

BUT I TAKE YOUR POINT.

AND AS FOR ME,
I'M ALSO GOING HOME
TO A GREAT WOMAN

AND A BUCKET
OF DIRTY DIAPERS.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

HEY.

MAN, ON RECORDING:
I'VE HEARD THAT GAMBLERS
DON'T REALLY WANT TO WIN.

THE ONLY TIME THEY FEEL ALIVE
IS WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS
TO CROWD IN FROM EVERY ANGLE

AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
THERE'S ANY WAY OUT.

BUT PEOPLE LIKE ME KNOW,
THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY OUT.

WHAT YOU DO IS GO IN DEEPER.
THAT'S THE TRICK.

THE ONLY WAY OUT
IS TO GO FURTHER IN.

REMEMBER HOW I SAID BEFORE
I FELT SOMETHING DIE IN ME
EVERY TIME I DO THIS?

WELL, THAT'S THE TRUTH,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

SOMETHING ELSE GROWS.

AND THE WAY IT FEELS,
THIS GROWING THING,

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT
IN WHAT YOU PEOPLE CALL

"THE NORMAL WORLD."
[CAR ALARM BEEPS]

AND FOR THAT, I PITY YOU.

'CAUSE ONCE YOU KNOW
THIS FEELING,

YOU NEVER, EVER WANT IT TO STOP.

[STARTS ENGINE]

[WIND CHIMES]

HERE YOU GO.

HEY, THAT LOOKS
WONDERFUL.

SO, IS IT EVERYTHING
I SAID IT WOULD BE?

EVERYTHING AND MORE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST--

I'M THINKING BACK
ON MY LIFE AND...

THE THINGS THAT I'VE
DONE AND WHO I AM.

I DON'T DESERVE
ALL OF THIS.

DON'T BE SILLY.
OF COURSE YOU DO.

REALLY, I DON'T.

SWEETHEART, WE'VE
ALL DONE THINGS WE
WISH WE'D DONE DIFFERENTLY,

BUT YOU ARE THE BEST MAN
I HAVE EVER MET...

AND I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

SO, I'M GOING TO MAKE US
A DELICIOUS BREAKFAST--

OH, OK.

AND WE'RE GONNA CELEBRATE
THIS NEW PHASE OF OUR
LIFE TOGETHER.

HEY.
WHAT?

YOU HAVE THE MOST
REMARKABLE...

FACIAL STRUCTURE.

HAS ANYONE EVER
TOLD YOU THAT?

NO.

IT REALLY IS
QUITE LOVELY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE
PRESERVED UNDER GLASS
FOREVER.

FLATTERY WILL GET YOU
EVERYWHERE.

HA HA HA!

OK.

I'M JUST--

OK.

LYNCH, VOICE-OVER:
"WE SERIAL KILLERS
ARE YOUR SONS,

"WE ARE YOUR HUSBANDS,
WE ARE EVERYWHERE.

AND THERE WILL BE MORE
OF YOUR CHILDREN DEAD TOMORROW."

TED BUNDY.
