[Heartbeat thumping]

[Water rushing]

[Gunshot]

[Heartbeat pounding]

Why do we kill?

It's a question that we face
every day.

We all have darkness
inside of us.

These people...

They have waged a war
against their inner demons...

And they've lost.

So what's the difference
between us and them?

I'm sorry.
Noah, right?

You said we all
struggle with darkness,

inner demons.

So then anyone in this room
could be pushed to kill, right?

The potentiality exists.

But I like to believe that

we can find the strength
to choose the light,

to follow our higher selves.

And if we're pushed
far enough...

[Knock on door]

We're capable
of just about anything.

Excuse me.

Dallas, Texas.

Local PD's reporting three
shootings in the last two weeks.

First victim,
35-year-old homeless woman

Sarah Markle, shot in a busy
pedestrian crosswalk.

Next victim,
Derek Williams,

48 years old,
local drug dealer.

Shot outside Cowboy Stadium.

And just this afternoon,
the third victim,

retired grandfather
and engineer,

74-year-old Peter Warsaw...

Found in the bathroom
in a local shopping mall

with a bullet in his head.

Different ages, sexes, races.

The victimology's
all over the map.

How does the local PD
know that they're related?

The same type of gun
was used.

It's a model 13 .357 Magnum.

No prints.
Guns left at the scene.

Specificity and choice
of weaponry, I mean...

That could be symbolic
in some way.

Multiple guns.
No prints.

It's pretty impressive.
Middle of the afternoon.

A highly,
highly public location.

It's a tremendous amount
of risk for the shooter.

Any witnesses?

No. None that could positively
I.D. the gunman.

All right, guys.
We're on our way to Dallas.

Let's go.

[Exciting music]

Death by a Thousand Cuts
Original Air Date on May 25, 2011

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

- Agent Cooper?
- Sam.

Wayne Sanderson.

Please tell me
you have some answers for us.

Not yet, but...We won't
be leaving till we do.

This is my team.

Agents Rawson, Sims,
Griffith, and LaSalle.

Well, we cleared
the conference room.

Case files, crime scene photos--
you name it, we got it for you.

We have the guns,
so let's find the shooter.

Okay.

Three kill sites.

A crosswalk
in the financial district,

a loading dock
outside Cowboy Stadium and...

One of the busiest
shopping malls in Dallas.

High profile.
Heavy pedestrian traffic.

You don't pick a location
that public

unless you're trying
to make a statement.

All three kill sites,

the shooter
leaves the gun at the scene.

It's like his signature.

He wants us to know he's
responsible for all of them.

Could be a gang initiation
or an act of terrorism even.

They're all
very public locations.

It's creatin' chaos
all over the city.

That's consistent
with a terrorist agenda.

All right,
so put in a call to NSA.

See if there's been any reports
of domestic terror activity.

These are the witness
statements.

There were several witnesses,
but only one got a good look.

Dreama Reynolds,
the first shooting.

She witnessed a car
pull up to the crosswalk,

a white male pull out a gun,

shoot our homeless woman
Sarah markle,

drop the gun,
and drive away.

Anyone I.D. the car
the shooter was driving?

No. Unfortunately,
the plates were removed.

Whoever the shooter is,

they're making sure
to cover their tracks.

All right. Beth and Prophet,
I want you to go

to the first crime scene,
retrace what the witness saw

and where she saw it from.

Mick and Gina,
I want you to take the gun.

Profiling the weapons
could go a long way

towards finding
the person that used them.

- I'll get the car.
- Mm-hmm.

Beth, I, uh...

I got this call from Fickler.

He was asking me about
a recommendation for you.

I was gonna tell you
about that when we got home.

Honestly,
it just happened yesterday.

About what?
He didn't give me the details.

I got offered a job
in New York

heading up
a terrorism task force.

It's all very preliminary.

I haven't made any decisions.

Heading your own team.
That's a big opportunity.

And if that's what you want,

I'll give you my full support.

That's okay.
I doubt I'll take it.

The job, I mean.
Your support I will take...

Every single day.

All right, well,
you just...

tell me what
you decide, okay?

I will.
I promise.

Model 13 .357 Magnum.

It's blue steel.
3-inch barrel.

Haven't seen one of those
in a while.

Well, Agent LaSalle,

that's because they stopped
making them in '99.

They used to be the standard
issue gun for all cops,

even FBI, before they switched
to semi-automatic pistols.

So you think our shooter
could be ex-law enforcement?

His taste in guns
certainly points that way.

It also clues us in
on his age.

I mean, using guns that were
discontinued in '99...

Probably not
a spring chicken.

This kind of tape
makes it almost impossible

to get any latent prints
or DNA off the gun.

Yeah, I had the cops check
the serial numbers on them.

Guns have changed hands
so many times

since the original owner,
practically untraceable.

Which means they were probably
bought through back channels.

Right. That's why
he left them at the scene.

There's no physical evidence
to trace it back to him.

His ego has got to be huge.

Every possible precaution.

Whoever prepped these guns...

They're good.

[Click]

All right,
so the shooter pulls up here.

He's pre-taped the gun
to conceal the prints.

He's removed the tags
from the back of the truck

so no witnesses can I.D. It.

Then the guy pulls the gun,

takes aim
directly at dreama,

hesitates, and instead
aims at a homeless woman

and fires five shots,

killing her almost instantly.

Planning-wise,
this guy didn't miss a beat.

It's seemingly professional
and calculated,

but it does not match

Dreama's description
of his behavior.

Exactly.

I mean...this guy aims a gun
at three different people

before he finally
finds his victim.

Then it takes him five shots
to get the kill?

Yeah. Neither professional
nor calculated.

It's like he thought all about
the how but not the who.

It's like an afterthought.

Why not shoot the first
person in the crosswalk?

And why does he take a picture
of the kill afterwards?

Maybe he was being specific
in who he chose, though.

Maybe he was just
being specific

of the people
who were here at the time.

Okay. That was
definitely a kick.

I'm at 14 weeks, babe.
It's way too early for kicking.

You're right.
It's probably just gas.

You know what, you're lucky
I think you're cute,

because otherwise
I'd kick you.

- Oh, crap.
- What?

I left the picnic blanket
in the car.

I'll be right back.
No, I'll get it.

I've been sitting all morning.

Just don't ditch me
for someone less hormonal

while I'm gone, okay?

I make no promises.

So the unsub hesitates

before he shoots
the homeless woman, right?

He has all these victims to
choose from, and he picks her.

A woman on the fringe,
presumably no job,

no home, and no family.

The kind of person
the shooter thinks

that no one's gonna miss.

And that could apply
to the drug dealer

and possibly
the old man as well.

Three victims,
all disenfranchised.

That has to be significant.

Okay, so we have hesitation,
which might be indicative

of conflict
over what he's doing.

- Right.
- Also the choice in victims

could be an attempt
to alleviate guilt.

It's like
he doesn't want to kill.

Agent Griffith.
I had my guy send you

the security footage
you asked me for.

Yeah, I'm looking at it now.
Thank you so much.

What are we looking at?

Okay, well, based on the
behavior we've been discussing,

I went back
and took another look

at the surveillance footage
from the shopping mall.

This is from three minutes
before the actual shooting.

He's, uh, agitated.

He has no sense of purpose.

He follows one person,
he changes direction,

and he follows a completely
different person.

Right. Now, check this out.

That is Peter Warsaw.
That's our victim,

and he's walking
straight toward him.

- Indeed.
- Beth, you got a name?

Yeah. All right,
so I checked his image

with the security footage
from the parking lot.

I pulled the plates.
His name is Dale Dixon.

He's a school teacher
in Plano.

It was terrible.

I heard the gunshot.
I didn't know what had happened.

What were you doing
at that mall, Dale?

Just grabbing some lunch.

In the middle
of a school day?

That mall's a good 20 miles
from where you work, Dale.

We saw you
on the security camera.

You looked pretty agitated.

Was there a reason for that?

Security cameras?

Why were you looking
at the security cameras?

Mommy--no! No!

It's okay, Max.
It's okay.

These men
are from the FBI.

They're good guys.

We're just here to talk.

You don't have to be
scared of us.

Bring him up to his room.
I'll be up in a few.

Max always that jumpy
around strangers?

Max? Well, uh...

You know,
he's a shy kid.

That's not the behavior
of a shy kid.

You got him covering
for you, Dale?

Cov-covering?
What are you talking about?

You think
you're a good liar, Dale.

You're not.

You're lying about the kid,

and you're lying about
what happened at the mall.

Is there something
you're not telling us?

He said he was gonna
kill my son.

I told him I wasn't a killer,
but he made me do it.

Someone made you kill?

Are you gonna arrest me?

[Laughs]
It's murder, Dale.

Please!

He took my son.

What would you have done?

We can't help you...

Unless you tell us everything.

What happened at the mall,
what happened at the crosswalk.

He said he would
let my son go

if I went to the mall
and killed someone.

A life for a life,
he said.

[Sniffles]

He didn't say anything
about a crosswalk.

We've got multiple shooters.

[Car alarm chirps]

Carolyn?

Carolyn?

Please, I'm looking
for my wife.

Her name's Carolyn.
She's got long, curly hair.

She was wearing a...
Tan sweater, a green top?

Please!
She's three months pregnant.

[Cell phone rings]

[Ringing]

[Line ringing]

Hello?

I have your wife.

And she's gonna die if you
don't do what I tell you to.

What have you done with her?
Please...She's pregnant.

You follow instructions,
she won't be harmed.

Just--just tell me
what I have to do.

It's time for you
to go back to your car.

I want you to look
at the passenger side,

'cause I left a little
package there for ya.

What is this?

There's a Farmer's Market
downtown this afternoon,

and I want you to go there
and kill someone.

- What?
- It doesn't matter who it is.

Just take the gun
that I gave you, shoot them,

take a photo of it
once they're dead,

and send it to me
at this number.

And leave the gun there.

This is insane.

I'm not a killer.

I sent you a video
on your phone.

You should watch that.

[Beep beep]

[Whimpering]

[Click]

[Gasps, whimpers]

It's up to you,
Mr. Malek.

Because if you don't hold up
your end of the deal

by 3:00 p.m. today,
your wife is gonna die.

How much do you love
your wife, Mr. Malek?

I mean,
would you kill for her?

A life for a life.

You got 30 minutes.

So he's kidnapping
people's loved ones,

holding them for ransom,

and then he is, um, forcing
them to kill innocent victims

in order to earn
their freedom.

Based on the testimony
we got from Max Dixon,

the eight-year-old boy
who was abducted,

we believe the unsub
is a white male in his 40s

and speaks with
a southern accent.

Given his choice of weapon,

we believe
that he has experience in guns

and that at some point
he might have been involved

with some branch
of law enforcement.

Essentially what he's doing
is he's coercing these people

into murder.

And so far we think
that there have been

three separate shooters

with three separate
possible kidnappings.

This man,
he's obsessed with death.

He's got a God complex.

Wants to prove that he can turn
ordinary people into murderers.

He's a manipulator,

and he's also highly proficient

in how he gets
these people to kill--

rigging of the guns,
creating the murder scenarios,

even asking for photographs
of the deceased.

Stay with us
after the break.

We'll check back
with Casey Travis,

who's been at the downtown
Farmer's Market all day...

[Sobbing]

Organic produce to the best
barbecue in Dallas...

This is the part...

Where we see
how much he loves you.

[Sobbing increases]

Callers have spoken.

Multiple witnesses
report seeing

what they believed to be
a kidnapping in Lakeside Park.

Someone
saw the abduction?

No, just the aftermath,

a young husband
looking for his wife.

So this husband
is our next shooter.

We got an I.D. on him?

No, no, but I think
we have enough statements

to get a good idea
of what happened.

Okay. I'm calling Garcia.

[Line rings]

Good afternoon,
temporary Texans.

Penelope,
we need to find someone

who was abducted
from Lakeside Park

earlier this afternoon.

And I'm guessing I have
no security camera to work with?

Beth:
Just eyewitness testimony.

Ah. Okay.
Gimme what you got.

Middle eastern man,
early 30s.

Looking for his missing wife.
Said her name was Carolyn.

She was three months pregnant,
had long, curly hair.

Uh...can we narrow this,
kind friends?

My kingdom
for more parameters.

Sure. He was wearing
a windbreaker

with a Lakevale Hospital
logo on the back.

That hospital's
two blocks from the park...

And you see a lot of doctors
and employees

take their lunch out there.

This could be an employee.
Penelope, employees.

Middle eastern couple.
Wife's first name is Carolyn.

Pregnant and has the potential
of working at the hospital.

If I break into that,

and I crosscheck his name
with...

Hello, Martin Malek.

He's an internist.
His wife, Carolyn Malek,

has been seeing an OB
at Lakevale Hospital

for the last three months.

Martin Malek.
That's our shooter.

House is clean.

No sign of Malek.

No indication of where
he might be going.

I've got a couple of officers
at the hospital

with Agent Griffith.

[Cell phone rings]

Sanderson.

Where?

GPS on Malek's cell phone

has him at the Farmer's Market
downtown.

[Siren blares]

[Tires peel out]

Hey, Antonio, wait up.

[Indistinct chatter]

He's got a gun!

- Martin Malek!
- Get down!

Get down, get down.

- Get down!
- Everyone just get back.

Drop the gun.

There's another way
out of this.

We can help you with that.

We interrupt this story

to take you back
to the Farmer's Market

where police are holding
a man at gunpoint.

Martin!
Oh, please, God, no!

Shh! Watch now.
You're gonna want to see this.

Because this is the part

where he thinks there's
somehow a way out of this.

Why are you doing this
to him?

Shut...

Up...

And watch!

Yeah, the phone
ain't gonna ring, dummy.

Look at that.

All right,
there's no stay for you.

We got...

30 seconds.

Hey, man,
get out of the way.

Move it!
Martin..

This isn't you.

Your wife...the baby...

They're the light
of your heart.

A little girl.

We're gonna name her Emma.

I know you want
to protect them.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

This is the part
where he does it.

Shh, look, look, look.

A life for a life.

Just give me the gun,
Martin.

Let me have the gun.

[Carolyn sobbing]

Tell my wife I love her.

[Gunshot]
Aah!

That's crazy!
I mean, that's crazy.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Stanley Milgram was wrong.

Who's Milgram?

Psychologist
from the '60s.

Did this experiment
to see how far people would go

if an authority figure
instructed them to do something,

even if it was against
their deeply held moral beliefs.

In my class,
one of my students asked me

if any one of us was capable
of becoming a killer.

Well, there it is.
No.

There's some lines
that people won't cross.

The unsub released her.

They just found Carolyn Malek
on a median off I-20.

They're bringing her in now.

Life for a life.

I understand.
I will.

All right.
I'll speak to you soon.

Bye.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

That was the, uh, Director?

Yeah. It's difficult
to say no to the man.

Yeah, well, it seems like
he really--they want you.

It's a hard decision,
I guess.

Well, between his pull
and your gentle push,

it's getting easier.

My push?

You didn't exactly
beg me to stay.

Beth, you're as fine
an agent as I ever worked with.

I mean, you--you're smart,

you're focused.

I mean, you fit this team
like a hand in a glove.

Honestly...I've grown
to really care about you.

I just want you to do
what's best for you.

I don't want you
making your decisions

based on my emotions.

Understood.

Carolyn Malek's here.

He made me watch.

Martin was on the television,
and...

He wouldn't let me turn away.

Can you describe him?
Did you get a good look at him?

Brown hair and blue eyes.

150 pounds, maybe.

And he only had
three fingers on one hand.

And cut marks all over
his arms, like scars.

Where did he take you?

I don't know.

He put a blindfold
over my eyes and...

The last thing I remember
was getting into his truck...

An old red truck.

It was horrible watching Martin
put that gun to his head.

Did he say anything
while this was going on?

He said, uh...

[Sniffles]

"This is the part where you see
how much he loves you.

This is the part
where he does it."

Those were his exact words?

Think carefully.
It's really important.

There was more, um...

Right before mar--

Martin...

He said something about how
the phone wasn't going to ring,

that there wasn't
gonna be a stay.

What, a last-minute call?

Yes, as in a call
from the governor,

a stay of execution.

You think a prison guard?

Well, he's using
model 13 guns.

I mean, we pegged him
as potential law enforcement

ever since we first
examined the weapons.

Sure sounds like somebody
who works in the system.

- Ground control to major Sam.
- Penelope.

This unsub may work, uh,
in our prison system.

He may be a guard.
He may be an administrator.

May be a counselor.

Um...

I show more than
a few prison guards

that have strayed
from the path of righteousness.

His choice of weapon indicates
that he's in his late 40s.

He's also missing
two fingers on one hand.

Uh...

Texas state prison guard
Daniel Barnes.

He definitely falls
in the malevolent category.

He was caught sexually
abusing over a dozen prisoners.

Case was dismissed
on a technicality.

- Go on.
- His current address?

Is...

A pine box.
I'm sorry.

He croaked ten months ago.
Here's a crazy idea.

What if he's actually
an executioner himself?

It is Texas.

In most states,
the executions are done

by prison guards who've
volunteered for the detail.

Penelope?

Richard Stahl.

49 years old.
He spent the past 20 years

on the execution team
at Huntsville.

He's helped perform almost...

50 lethal injections.

- What else?
- Um...

Oh, he had a horrible
childhood.

His entire family
was murdered in front of him.

He saw the whole thing
and...

Oh, he lost his pinkie
and his ring finger

in a buzz saw accident
when he was 12.

Penelope, how was
his family murdered

and what weapon was used?

It's a model 13 .357 Magnum.

Is he still working
in the penitentiary?

No, no.
He was fired six months ago.

Super-high profile.
All over the news.

A botched execution.
Stahl was blamed.

Did he do any time, P?

Uh-uh.
Insufficient evidence.

And then he went off the grid.

There's no last known
address.

But his aunt Mary Ellen
lives in Frisco

which is right next to Dallas,

and she's the one who raised him
after his parents were murdered.

[Buzzer]

Takes a team to carry out
a full execution.

Most people, they come here,
do their job,

try to leave it behind
when they go home.

Not Richard.

You think he enjoyed
the executions?

He never came right out
and said it,

but, uh...

Yeah, I do.

And it got worse
the longer he was here.

I was his partner
for ten years.

I knew him better
than anybody.

You said it got worse.

How?
Well...

Prisoner'd be taking
his final walk,

and Richard would
start taunting him,

telling him how much
it was gonna burn

when the juice of that needle

started coursing
through his veins.

He liked
to see them in pain.

I think he enjoyed pain,
period.

That execution
that went wrong,

the one Stahl got fired for?

What happened?

The first drug,
sodium thiopental,

is supposed to sedate you

before the second and the third
drugs are injected.

Well, Stahl never injected
the sodium thiopental.

When the other drugs
started flowing through

that condemned man's body,

he went into convulsions,
cried out, writhing in pain.

And Stahl claimed
it was an accident.

And then I saw the news,
that suicide.

Your other agent, uh, Cooper,

he had to watch it.

Man...
I knew Stahl was sick,

but I never imagined
he'd go that far.

Have you talked to him at all
since he was fired?

Yeah, once.

I-I felt bad for the guy.
He's got nobody.

- Where'd he call you from?
- Blocked number.

He didn't want me
to know where he was.

He just wanted to talk.

What about?

Well, his face
was in the news and, uh,

he was gettin'
death threats and...

Wanted to buy a gun
for protection.

He felt like he couldn't
do it out in public,

so, uh...

I gave him the name
of some guy off the radar.

Illegally.

Look, if I knew what he was
gonna do with the gun,

I wouldn't have
given it to him.

We need to speak
with the dealer.

[Laughs]
You're FBI.

He ain't gonna
give you anything.

He supplied the model 13s.

He's gonna know
how to get in touch with him.

Set up a buy.

Set up a buy,
tell your gun dealer

that you got two friends
who wanna buy some guns.

If he knows
I ratted him out,

he'll kill me.

Way I see it,
you got two options.

All right?
You can cooperate with us

or you can protect your scumbag
gun dealer friend.

You do that,
we're gonna put you away

as an accomplice to murder.

Choice is yours.

Call him, man.

They said the murders
were robbery gone wrong.

They never did catch
the man who did it.

Richard
was only seven years old.

But he found a place to hide.

You know, I think
it's by the grace of God

that he's alive today.

I believe that.

No little boy should ever
have to see the things

he saw that night.

What was he like
after his parents were killed?

Well, he used to disappear
days at a time and...

At first I sorta got scared,

but then he'd always turn up
in the same places.

Where's that?

O-on occasion,

there'd be a crime
around town,

and Richard would go to
the houses where they happened.

It was, uh, murders...

Suicides.

It's a form of masochism.

Richard was exposed
to death and murder

at such an early age,

he might have thought
that's all he deserved.

He--he carved that
into the headboard

when he was ten.

He--he never told me why
or what it meant.

"Ling chi."

It means death
by a thousand cuts.

It's from ancient China.

They would take these knives,

cut off body parts
over time.

It was slow, painful...
Oh, God!

So that's why he hurt himself!

[Sobbing]

What do you mean
by that, ma'am?

He would tell people
that, uh,

he had had an accident
with a saw.

His fingers, they...

The truth is, he--
he cut them off himself.

[Whispers]
I see.

I know you think
he's a monster.

But I just...

Remember that little boy
sitting there on the floor...

Bleeding.

No matter how often
I tried to hide the knives,

he just couldn't stop.

[Sighs]

Some people's pain...

is beyond their understanding.

He's making the whole world

understand his pain now,
isn't he?

Think about it.

He puts these people
in impossible situations.

If they don't kill,

they're gonna lose
the person they love.

And if they do kill,
then they're gonna have to

live with that guilt
for the rest of their life.

Something doesn't add up.

I mean,
if Stahl is a masochist

then why does he act
out on a grand stage?

Why does he have a big show,
the public killings,

the, uh, the planning,
the--the manipulation of others.

Those are the actions
of somebody

who has a gigantic--
a huge ego.

Okay, but his language...

He never makes himself
the subject of his own sentence.

"This is the part where you see
how much he loves you.

This is the part
where he does it."

You're right...

It's objective, submissive.

It's--it's like
he's an innocent bystander.

His words are of a person
who has no ego at all.

His personal traits
are pure...

Masochism,
and his actions are...

Are those of a sadist.

He has a partner, Coop.

He is a puppet.

There has to be a master.

That's an MP7.

High-velocity muzzle.

4.6x30 ammunition.

Shoot with that thing,
you ain't gonna miss.

Pretty bad-ass.

You got anything smaller,
though?

You got any handguns?

M13s, Smith & Wesson.
Do they still make those?

That's a big gun
for such a little girl.

- Can you hook it up, man?
- Gimme some time.

Had a guy in here--
cleaned out all my model 13s.

But I can get some more.
He took everything you had.

Look, this ain't a bar.

You got the cash,

I sure as hell
ain't gonna cut anyone off.

[Gunshots]
Ah!

Go! Go!

[Bullets ricocheting]

Where's it coming from?

I can't see him!

[Gunshots]
Beth, stay down!

Uhh!

Uhh!

I think we might have
a lead on Stahl's location.

So we know that Stahl
has an affinity

for murder sites, right?

Check this out.
It's a house in South Dallas.

It's the site of a triple
murder three months ago.

Now it's abandoned
and boarded up.

But we looked at
the satellite images

from the past three weeks.

Check out the car.

Faded red truck.

- SWAT is ready to roll.
- Let's ride.

[Cell phone rings]

Prophet.

Coop, I don't know
how it happened,

but we got hit, man.

Slow down.
Are you all right?

Coop, he got her.

- What?
- They got Beth!

[Call waiting beeps]
What? Prophet, hold on.

[Cell phone rings]
Sam.

[Ringing]

[Ringing]

[Beep]

Stahl.

Market Street.

Downtown
there's a street fair goin' on.

That oughta give you
a lot of targets to choose from.

You got 15 minutes.

[Thud]

Richard.

I know you think
you deserve this, but you don't.

There's no reason
to go on suffering this way.

Thanks, darlin', but...

I'm not the one
who's suffering.

Rawlins.

I told you,

it takes a full team
to carry out an execution.

Hey, Prophet,
how you doin', man?

All right.
Where's Beth?

She's in an abandoned house
in Dallas.

We're headin' there now.

Your boss seems like
a stand-up guy.

You think he'll kill
to save you?

Hmm?

Don't underestimate
what people would do for love.

Love?

Is that how you got Richard?

You told him
you loved him?

Hell, yes.

First day
he got to Huntsville,

I saw that wimpy
little kid,

cuts all over his arms.

I knew I could get him to do
whatever I wanted to.

Even murder.

Especially murder.

[Suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

Cooper, we're heading
to the house in South Dallas.

All right.
Keep me posted.

[Cell phone rings]

Yeah.
How's the fair lookin'?

- There's no street fair.
- Oh.

Is that right?

Let me speak to Beth.

No. She's temporarily
detained.

You didn't answer
my question.

Will Cooper kill for you?

No!

What, doesn't he
love you enough?

It doesn't have
anything to do with that.

He's one of the finest men
I've ever known,

and beyond that,
he's noble.

Yeah. Then he'll know
exactly what to do

to bring you home.

You have no idea
what nobility is.

[Laughs]
I know what'll happen

if he doesn't pull
that trigger.

It's a line
he will never cross,

and I don't want him to.

That's too bad.

I don't expect you
to kill just anyone, Sam.

I already got someone
picked out.

Who?

Me.

Two minutes.

I know
what love is,

and nobility and integrity.

Can you shoot me
right there?

I always wanted
to go like that.

You want to test someone?

Do you want to see
how far they can go?

Then shoot me!

Shoot me!

Is this what
your master wants you to do?

He sent you here,
didn't he?

60 seconds,
and Beth dies.

I mean, do you care about her
or not?

You're a victim, Stahl.

Can't you see it?

You do not deserve this.

50 seconds.

I know...
That you're in pain.

I know you feel
you need to feed it.

But this is not love.

This is not devotion.

This is just...

Pain.

Doesn't look like
we're gettin' a phone call.

No last-minute reprieve
today.

We were good...once.
We were all good once.

And that...
that goodness

it lives inside of you.

FBI!

Clear!

- Room clear!
- Clear.

Clear!

Hey, Coop,
the house is clear.

There's nobody here.

She's not here.
Beth is not here.

[Sniffling]
I just want this to be over.

Ten seconds.

No!

This is the part
where you kill me.

Now just do it.
Would you just do it?

Would you please do it?

[Sobbing]
Would you just do it?

[Gunshot]
