[Indistinct muted chatter]

Good morning.

Oh. Hey. Morning.

Everyone's gathered.
We're all ready if you are.

Yeah, let's do it.

You need that?

Oh. Hey, uh,

listen, Aaron...

Thanks for letting me
set this up.

But the whole team really
didn't need to be here.

I'm the one
that owed the favor.

Everyone insisted.

How you doing?

Sorry--what?

You ok?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, I'm great.

I'm good. Uh...

I'll meet you over there
in a minute, ok?

Woman: It's rare that an
undergraduate criminology class

gets guest speakers
of this caliber.

But today
we're specially fortunate.

I'd like to welcome
an old friend,

esteemed author
and FBI Agent David Rossi,

and his team,
the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

Now, they've agreed to spend
an hour of their valuable time

talking about what they do
and how they do it.

So let's make them
feel welcome.

[Applause]

Thank you, Dr. Grant.

Now, when she said
I was an old friend,

she was just referring
to the fact

that we've known each other
for a very long time.

[Laughter]

Now, as the good
Professor said,

I am supervisory
Special Agent Rossi.

These are SSAs Jareau,

Prentiss,

Hotchner, and Morgan.

This is Dr. Spencer Reid.

And on keyboards today
we have our technical analyst

Ms. Penelope Garcia.

at the BAU we use
behavioral science,

research, casework,
and training

to hunt down monsters.

Rapists, terrorists,

pedophiles,

and our specialty,

serial killers.

Does anybody here know
exactly what a serial killer is?

Someone who's committed
more than one murder.

That's very good.

By statute,
3 is the magic number.

And it's actually more qualitative
than quantitative for us.

And today we're going
to talk about how some

serial killers get made.

Because if you can
understand that,

then you can figure out
a way to catch them.

Garcia.

My liege.

Ok, this is Rachel Moore,

a 17-year-old runaway
from Spokane, Washington.

Now, she grew up poor
and in a broken home.

Her mom left her dad because he
liked to drink and beat on her.

And this is Tina Dyson,

a 19-year-old college
student from Seattle.

Rossi: Now, she was
a trust fund kid,

and she got straight As
and came from a loving family.

Now, these two girls
couldn't be any more different.

But the one thing
that they had in common

is they both crossed paths
with the most prolific serial killer

the BAU has ever seen.

One thing you should understand
is that no two killers are the same.

They each occupy their own point
on the behavioral spectrum.

Genetics, brain chemistry,
psychology, and environment

are all factors.

But we believe that
this particular killer

grew up in an environment
so adverse

that he never had a chance.

Bastard!

Prentiss: He endured years of
cruel and abject physical abuse.

Hotch: As well as horribly
profound psychological abuse.

No. No!

Morgan: When he wasn't being
ignored, he was being humiliated.

Let me in!

Let me in! Let me in!
Please!

Now let me be clear.

Most abused kids do not
turn into killers.

Not even all psychopaths
become killers.

But this particular
unknown subject,

or unsub,

suffered extreme abuse,

and it has everything to do
with why he does what he does.

Now, these are some
of his victims.

He kidnapped them,
he restrained them,

and he starved them
for days.

Then he killed them by mutilating
their reproductive organs.

Right now we know there are
at least 40 of them.

But we believe that he may
eventually claim over 100 victims.

Now, we chose this case
for today

because we've been
discovering bodies

up and down the West Coast
since 1992.

For lack of a better word,

it's a classic.

This unsub's entire childhood

was a crucible,

and in it, a psychotic
killer was forged.

Rossi: The philosopher
Voltaire wrote,

"to the living we owe respect,
but to the dead

we owe only the truth."

The dead are the cornerstone
of every homicide investigation.

Victims give us a look
into the killer's mind.

If you want to know
about a hunter,

study his prey.

Ok, so the unsub's
first victims

were discovered two weeks apart

in 1992 in Seattle.

The first victim that was found
was Rachel Moore.

She was the runaway.

Her body had been thrown
into a dumpster in an alley.

The medical examiner said
that she was very malnourished

and really dehydrated.

JJ: The ligature marks
on her wrists and ankles

made it apparent that she'd
been restrained for days.

He held her,
but he didn't feed her.

So she's weak.

It's his sadistic way
to subdue her.

Several defensive wounds
on her hands and forearms.

She put up
a hell of a fight.

That a girl.

53 stab wounds to the lower
abdomen and genitals.

The damage made it
impossible to determine

if there was
any sexual assault.

That might be a forensic
countermeasure.

Here's my report.

Stay as long as you need.

Her mother should be here
in an hour.

A hell of a way to see her
after 2 years.

Prentiss: 53 stab wounds.
That's a lot of work.

Does anyone want to tell me
what they think that means?

Hatred?

Frustration.

He's angry.

You're all correct.
It's called overkill.

Typically it means the murder
was personal somehow.

That, or the unsub
is psychotic

and/or prone to
violent outbursts.

[Cell phone rings]

The overkill may also show
his inexperience.

This was probably
his first kill,

and he was feeling his way
through it, working out his M.O.

But there's a lot about Rachel
that tells us about the unsub.

She was young,
so most likely he was, too.

Male student:
What makes you think that?

She lived in a shelter
and had a part-time job,

so she was a street kid,

but not necessarily
the reckless type.

She wouldn't just
go off with anyone.

Yeah, Warden, it's Rossi.

What?

Riot?

W-w-w-wait.

Look, he's not gonna
give me a rain check.

I have to see him today.

So the unsub maybe
lured her with a ruse

or he blitz attacked her,
he took her by surprise.

Now, either one of these would
be easier if you were young.

You can tell all that
from just one victim?

I'd say it was two weeks later
when we found the second victim

that we started
to piece that together.

Tina Dyson was home for the
summer when she disappeared.

Her body was found in a shallow
grave just outside of Seattle.

But it was actually
her abduction site

that gave us the answers
we needed.

[Laughing]

Morgan: Tina and two
of her friends had fake I.D.s

and they decided to go
to a local grunge bar.

Prentiss: But they drank
too much and Tina got sick,

so while one friend
was inside dancing,

the other went out
to hold Tina's hair.

It's all right.
Come on.

[Retching]

I'm gonna go get Janice, ok?
We're going home.

Ohh...Good, yeah.

[Moaning]

Ohh...Ohh...

Man: You ok?

Yeah. Jeez,
what are you, a ninja?

Where'd you come from?

So his anger is obviously
directed at women.

Yes, but the real
question is why,

and the why is what always
leads us to the who.

I need to talk to you.

JJ: He was attacking their genitals
and reproductive organs.

Why?

Was he impotent

and hates the thing
that he can't have?

Did his wife or girlfriend
abort a child?

It's a federal prison, Dave.

We can't just call them up
and tell them what to do.

You have to know someone
in justice who can pull some strings.

I've got to see him today,
Aaron. You know that.

The possibilities
are endless.

And the unsub was figuring
it all out for himself, too.

We know that because
he was evolving.

He started with a runaway,
a victim with a high-risk lifestyle.

He probably knew that her abduction
would go unreported.

JJ: Then he upped his game
and grabbed a college girl,

which meant more risk
for himself.

Reid: He dumped his first victim
Rachel in an alley,

but he took the time
to bury Tina,

which suggests he felt
more connected to her

and perhaps he even
felt remorse.

Did you ever
catch this guy?

Uh, what's your name,
young man?

David Zimmerman.

Don't interrupt, Zimmerman.

[Laughter]

Now, we, uh, we knew
we needed to warn the public,

so we contacted the media,
papers, local news.

That was back before
the Internet exploded.

And then, as will happen
from time to time,

the case went completely cold.

We didn't hear from him
again until 1997.

Two bodies were found
in Golden Gate Park,

in San Francisco.

Same M.O.

Evidently our guy.

Excuse me, I'm looking
for the case Agent.

That would be me.
Agent Rossi, I'm Agent Hotchner,

Seattle division.
We spoke on the phone.

Uh, I inherited the case
from Agent Bidwell.

Thanks for coming so quickly.

Yeah, I hopped the first
flight from Dulles.

Came straight from
the airport.

That's a long trip.
With bad food.

Let me show you
what we found.

A jogger discovered the first
body dumped in the bushes

about 30 yards
over the road here.

The M.E. said that she'd
been there almost a month.

Any critters get to her?

We had to use dental records
to identify her. Watch your step.

So we did a search
of the area

and we discovered the second
body in this shallow grave.

She'd been here
less than a week.

So, he dumped the first one
and buried the second.

Just like he did in '92.

The first victim--
was she a runaway?

25-year-old prostitute
and crack addict.

The second?

A 27-year-old
mother of two.

Both women had had
their reproductive organs

completely removed.

Not just mangled.
He's evolving.

Sounds like he's moving
more toward ritual.

And apparently he's not
locked into an age preference.

The victims seem to be
aging along with him.

What about stomach contents?

The victims were dehydrated
and hadn't eaten in days.

My guess is he hasn't been
back in Seattle in a while.

What makes you say that?

He needs someplace private
to hold them.

He might live close.

Dumping a body
in a public park is risky.

It tells me that
he's comfortable, settled in.

He might even have chosen
this spot to be able to come

back and relive the kills.

You've done your homework,
Agent.

5 years is a long time
to be dormant.

He wasn't dormant.

A killer that vicious
is like a drug addict

that needs a fix.

Hotch: We were fairly certain
that he had kept on killing.

We just hadn't
found the bodies yet.

Rossi: Now, we knew
that back in '92

when the media went wide
with the story,

our unsub got spooked
and he disappeared.

So we tried to get
in front of it,

meaning that if we could control
the spread of information,

we might be able to keep the
unsub from fleeing again.

But back then
the BAU was still young.

We didn't have press liaisons
or technical analysts.

Hotch: By the time
we contacted the media,

the story had already broken.

TV narrator: A symbol
of the American west--

a lone coyote hunts
for prey.

Agent Rossi, are you making
any progress in the investigation?

Quite a bit, yes.

So do you have
any solid leads?

Several.

Agent Rossi, can you
confirm the rumors

that the Womb Raider
disembowels his victims?

Excuse me?

Can you confirms
the rumors that the womb--

Oh, I'll confirm
something for you.

Womb Raider is a name
that you gave him.

I won't glorify him.
I call him a murderer.

Then exactly how
is he killing them?

My only concern
is capturing him

and bringing closure
to the families of the victims.

No further questions.

[Chuckling]

"Womb Raider."

I hoped the nickname
would embolden him.

Thought maybe he would escalate
and trip on his own hubris.

But, um, that didn't happen.

Unfortunately, he vanished just like
he'd done before

and the trail
went cold again.

We did everything we could.

We had every division
up and down the West Coast

scouring
missing person reports.

A lot of possibilities,
but no clear hits.

In the meantime,
Agent Rossi retired,

but the BAU grew.

We trained more profilers,

hired tech analysts,
press liaisons,

and we even got
our own resident genius.

Thank you.
Thank you.

[Laughter]

Agent Rossi,
why did you retire?

That's a good question.

Well, the simple answer
is I needed a change.

I was working on my
third divorce, and...

Third?

Yes, Zimmerman,
my third.

[Laughter]

So I needed a break,
and I figured writing books

might help give me
some peace of mind.

Did it?
Give you peace of mind?

For a time, yes.

In 2005, we got another hit
on the unsub,

this time in Los Angeles.

We knew it was him
because of his signature.

Sorry, what's a signature?

It's a rare combination
of M.O. and ritual

that allows us to link cases over
time and geographic distances.

Her name was Lana Cooper.
She was a 33-year-old prostitute.

Her body was found by a boy
walking his dog in Griffith Park.

Ligature marks on her wrists
and ankles. She was restrained.

And he gave her
a complete hysterectomy.

The uterus, ovaries,
fallopian tubes, all removed.

A little crude, but he cut all
the right ligaments.

He knew what he was doing.

What about her throat?

That was done postmortem.
He cut out her vocal cords.

Might be a symbolic way
of keeping her silent.

So she was alive when he
performed the hysterectomy.

Anything in her stomach?

Dry as a bone.
She hadn't eaten in days.

So he starved her, too.

That's
a pretty specific M.O.

This probably isn't
his first victim.

I wonder if we should be looking
at doctors and medical students.

It's definitely
not his first victim.

I don't think he's a doctor
or a medical student.

No.
Calling Gideon?

[Cell phone ringing] The first call I made
was to Agent Rossi.

I knew he was writing his book,

but I didn't want to start
to build a profile without him.

A profile is personality
and identifying characteristics

of the unsub which helps
the investigator narrow

down the suspect pool.

Basically it's a behavioral
description

of the type of person
we think the unsub might be.

It goes a little like this--

we were looking for
a white male

in his early to mid-30s.

Hotch: We think he was antisocial
and had low self-esteem,

so he probably
kept to himself.

Prentiss:
But he needed money,

so he was most likely
a day laborer, a janitor,

maybe a handyman.

Anything menial
and temporary.

Morgan: He was personable enough
to get a job wherever he went,

but unassuming enough
not to stick out.

He held and restrained
his victims for days,

so he would need
a contained space to do that.

But he was also mobile. That
meant he had his own transport.

Most likely a truck
or a van.

JJ: And when he was on the move
and not settled,

he probably lived
out of that vehicle.

Hotch: We knew he always
started with a victim

who lived a high-risk
lifestyle,

like a prostitute
or a runaway.

And then he moved on to a victim
with a low-risk lifestyle.

JJ: So we knew his next kill
would be something of

a soccer mom in her 30s.

I'm sorry, but what exactly
was he doing with the organs

he was removing?

We didn't know. It could have been
some sort of fetish.

Russian serial killer
Andrei Chikatilo

actually ate the uterus
of one of his victims.

Oh, my God, eew.

This focus on
reproductive organs

could also indicate
a deep-seated sense

of self-loathing.

He might have hated
the fact that he was born.

Or he had some sort of traumatic
life-changing event

associated with birth.

And he could have hated
his own mother.

The strained mother-child
relationship is a hallmark

for many killers.

That doesn't make any sense.

I hate myself
or I hate my mother,

so I kill women
by ripping out their wombs?

It only needs
to make sense to him.

One man's logic
is another man's crazy.

What's the deal with
the vocal cords?

That was something new.

We thought it might have been
symbolic of his own silence.

He was raised to believe
he was worthless and unwanted,

so essentially
he never had his own voice.

His victims became
surrogates for his rage

and a means by which
to exact his revenge.

[Woman whimpering]

We stayed in L.A. for 6 weeks
and worked the case.

And then it went cold,
again.

No low-risk soccer
mom turned up,

no soccer moms
went missing.

Then our resources
were exhausted,

we had other cases,
so we were forced to leave.

But I rented a house
in the Hollywood Hills

and decided to finish
my book out there.

I figured if I was close
I could lend a hand

if something happened.

3 months I stayed and nothing.

Now, in the past
he packed up and moved

when the story broke
and we got too close.

But this time
the media was quiet.

The victim was a hooker
nobody cared about.

So, what drove him under?

It would be 4 years
before we got another break.

Not too long after,
I came out of retirement.

What?

Rochelle Jenkins,
a 40-year-old prostitute

was found dumped
in an alley in Seattle.

She was given
a complete hysterectomy.

Her vocal cords
were cut out, too.

He's back where he got started.

He'll be on the hunt for a
low-risk victim in her 40s next.

[Sighs] I wonder
what brought him home.

It's a long trip.
We should get going.

Rossi: But this time
we were ready for him.

We wanted to use the press
to our advantage.

So we came up with what's called
a targeted media strategy.

Reporter: Agent, is it true
you have a suspect in custody?

Yes, he's being
questioned as we speak.

Second reporter: Can you tell us
how you apprehended him?

With good police work,
especially from the Seattle P.D.

and the Washington State Patrol.

Is it true that the killer's
been on the loose

since the early nineties?

That remains to be seen,
but we do believe

we can link him
to several murders.

Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse us,
we've got work to do.

So you did catch him.

No. But we wanted him to think
we caught the wrong guy.

Why?

To give him a false
sense of security.

If he thinks we messed up,
then maybe he relaxes

and makes a mistake.

That, or he gets angry
because he thinks someone else

is stealing his thunder.

Either way,
the aim of the strategy

is the throw the killer
off course.

Otherwise, all we're doing
is reacting to him,

and we needed him
to react to us.

Lord knows I love him, but here's
to a night without him.

Husbands, too.
To the kids.

Ok, fine, have it your way.

We're too old for this.

Speak for yourself.

Ok, ladies, bottoms up,
lick, drink, suck. Yeah?

Mm!

Whoo-hoo!
Ha ha!

She's whoo-hooing, you know
we're in for a long night.

[Laughing]

We need some more water.

We should get another round.

[Laughing]

You're insane.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Laughing]

Play date tomorrow?
Meet me at the park?

Can't. Soccer game
and birthday party. Sunday?

Ok.
Sure.

You all right to drive?

That drink was what,

two hours and
a big dinner ago.

I'm fine. Go.
Are you sure?

Bye, sweetie.

Bye, girls.

I'll talk to you soon, ok?

Ok.
Yes.

Good night.

Hey, honey.
I'm on the way home.

How are the boys?

[Chuckles]

Oh, it was fun.
Everyone says hi. Ok.

Love you, too.

Bye.

[Car alarm beeps]

[Muffled scream]

He's been moving south
this whole time.

He could have gone east
or bounced back up north,

but no, always south.

Almost like he's running
from something.

Well, he's running from us.

But why go back home now,
after all these years?

Something brought him back.

Rochelle Jenkins
was in her 40s,

so we can assume
he is, too.

Ok, so why do people
come home at that age?

Family, special occasions,
funeral.

Wait a minute.

You guys have your own jet?

Yes, Zimmerman,
as a matter of fact, we do.

[Murmuring]

Show them, Penelope.

One second...

Ok. There you go.

Students: Ooh...
Pretty sweet, huh?

Yeah.

[Laughter]

Hey, guys, a missing persons
report just came in.

42 years old, Grace Powell,
mother of two,

went out for girls night,
never came home.

That's gotta be him.

Garcia, where did he
take her from?

Um...

I recognized the place
immediately.

It was hard to forget.

This is where he took
Tina Dyson from in '92.

This restaurant
was a dive bar.

A dive bar?
In this neighborhood?

Things were different then.

He didn't
just come back home.

He returned
to the exact same spot.

But why here? What is it
about this place?

It's where he grabbed
one of his first kills.

The first ones
are always significant.

And this is where my particular
skill set comes in handy.

See, I am like one of those
wonderful people in prison movies

that can get you
anything you need.

And we needed to know
everything there was to know

about this particular
part of the city.

So I went honey badger.

I dug up police reports,
news articles,

parking tickets, even.

If anything went down
in that area in the last 40 years,

I knew about it.

And I found zip.

Zero. Stingy with the dinero.

Couple of Fender-benders.
A bar fight.

There was a homeless guy
who was into mooning people,

but no life-changers.

So I extended my search
another 10 years

and I found this.

This is a police report
from 1966,

where a 16-year-old girl
was found raped

in a parked car
on that street.

But she was a minor,

so her name wasn't
listed on the report.

Well, what's this girl
got to do with a serial killer?

Pump your brakes, sweetcakes,
'cause I'm bringing it home.

It turns out that Jane Doe,
instead of given a name,

she was given a patient number.

So I tracked that number,

and it turned out that
she went back to that hospital

several times after...

for prenatal care.

And she eventually
brought that baby to term.

[Screaming]

Aah!

Rossi: She hemorrhaged badly
during childbirth,

and during her emergency
hysterectomy

she died.

It was at that point
that I was able to find

the corresponding
death certificate

and get her name.

Georgina Yates.

Her son Thomas Yates survived.

He was put into the custody
of his grandparents

Trudy and Roy Yates,
Georgina's parents.

When we started
looking at Thomas...

We knew.

Garcia: Growing up, he got
kicked out of two schools,

both times for starting fires.

Fire-starting
is the first part

of what we used to call
the homicidal triad.

The other two parts are
bedwetting and cruelty to animals.

He was also in the emergency
room a lot as a kid.

He had a broken arm, burns,
he broke a rib once.

So he was either very clumsy
or he was being beaten.

Then when he was 15,
he committed his first murder.

He was a skinny kid who snapped
and stabbed a bully at school.

[Grunting]

He was convicted,
served 3 years in juvey,

another 7 in prison, and then
he was released on parole.

But when
he was on the inside,

he spilled his guts
to the prison shrink.

He talked about how his
grandmother would starve him

and make him sleep
in the dog house.

How she would
beat him senseless...

I wish you were never born!

And sit on him
until he couldn't breathe.

You're a curse!

I hate you!

And you actually
believed this guy?

The prison psychiatrist
concluded that Thomas

[cell phone vibrates]
was telling the truth.

His childhood
medical records

also corroborated
this story.

And at that point we realized
it wasn't the mother

but the grandmother
who was the object of his rage.

Woman: I have Senator
Hendricks on the line.

Then I find out
his grandfather had just died,

and his grandmother
had lung cancer

and she had just been
admitted into hospice care.

And that is what
brought Thomas home.

Excuse me, uh,
Mrs. Trudy Yates?

Who are you?

I'm Agent Prentiss. This is
Agent Jareau. We're with the FBI.

FBI? You got
the right Trudy Yates?

Yes, I'm pretty sure
we do, ma'am.

You're Thomas' grandmother,
right?

What about it?

We're looking for him.

Tommy? He in trouble?

What'd he do this time?

Do you know where he is?

No idea.

When was the last time
you saw him?

The day he put me
in this damn place.

My daughter's womb
was cursed.

That boy was a bastard
born in sin.

Nothing good
comes out of sin.

This is all we have.
Thank you so much.

Please give us a call
if you think of anything else.

Will do.

Thank you.

[Ring]

Baby, what can I do you for?

Hey, mama, I need you
to run a number.

206-555-0112.

Okey-dokey. It is a prepaid
cell phone, hasn't been used in days.

And what about this address?

2334 Dawson Street,
unit K.

Hold yourself, please.

Unit K? He needs to be more
isolated than an apartment.

It was a storage container.

The same storage container
where his grandmother's

stuff was being held.

You smell that?

It's coffee.

FBI!

Drop it.

Thomas Yates,
you're under arrest.

She's still got a pulse.

Calling an ambulance.

Agent Rossi.

Nice to meet you
after all these years.

We got Grace Powell
to the hospital in time

and they saved her life.

Though I'm not sure

her psychological wounds
will ever heal.

How come I've never
heard of this guy?

Have you ever heard
of Efren Saldivar?

No.

David Parker Ray.

How about
John Edward Robinson?

See, at any given time,
we have at least 25 open cases.

Every year we're able
to close around 15,

yet new ones
still seem to pop up.

There are more serial killers
out there than you may think.

But we finally had Yates
in custody,

and we questioned him
for two weeks straight.

We all took turns.

He didn't say a word.

Never asked for
a bathroom break,

glass of water, nothing.

I thought given his M.O.,
being female,

I might be able to strike a nerve,
get him to open up,

but he just sat there,
for hours.

Staying absolutely silent
under that kind of pressure

was a skill he undoubtedly
learned as a child.

He was rendered silent
for so long,

it became
a conditioned response.

But we had him
safely in custody.

And we had other
cases to solve.

Eventually Yates was tried and
he received the death penalty.

And life went on.

Then two years ago today...

I got a call.

[Cell phone rings]

Rossi.

Recording: You have a call
from an inmate

in a correctional
facility.

Inmate,
state your name.

It's Tommy Yates.

This call may be monitored
and recorded.

Press 2 if you
accept the charges.

If not, hang up.

He called you personally?
How'd he get your number?

Probably
from his attorney.

What did he want?

He wanted to make a deal,

and I was the only one
he would make it with.

Can we be alone, please?

[Door closes]

What do you want?

Nice to see you, too.

Why am I here, Yates?

I told you.

I want to make a deal.

You're on death row,

not exactly a strong
negotiating position.

I've got something
for you.

It's a present.

Open it.

What is it?

Open it and see.

You shouldn't have.

Surprise.

Those are some
of the girls I took.

The ones
you didn't find.

There's 40 there.

Why should I believe you?

I thought
you might ask that.

It's all
part of the deal.

Look, let's get
something straight.

There is no deal.

Not yet.

Not ever.

There's actually
101 names.

And I remember
all of them.

And I'll tell you
where I put them.

Here's what I want.

One--no death penalty.

I don't care
if I rot in here.

But no chair
and no injections.

2--I want a transfer
to the East Coast.

Grandma's dead.
Nothing holding me here.

Plus, I like the idea
of snow in the winter.

Never really had that
growing up.

I didn't come all this way
to get smoke blown up my ass.

After I get my sentence
commuted

and my transfer,

I'll give you more names.

But only one each year.

To keep you honest.

You understand.

Anything else?

Yes.

I get to decide
when you get the name.

It'll be on a special day
of my choosing.

And you have to come
and get it from me personally.

What do you say, Agent?

Hmm?

Deal?

We checked the list
he gave us,

and then we went out
to the locations

where he said
he'd dumped the bodies,

and we found all 40.

Did you actually make a deal
with that maniac?

We did.

Not to bend to his will,

but to bring the families
of the victims some peace.

I'd been on the case
so long, I felt obligated

to contact each
of the families personally.

Mrs. Ruth Thomas?

I'm Agent David Rossi
from the FBI.

I have some information
about your daughter Sarah.

I'm afraid I've got
bad news about Jessica...

We found Chloe
two days ago in Griffith park.

[Sobs]

I can't tell you
how sorry I am for your loss.

If I can do anything,
anything at all,

please don't hesitate.

Does it ever get hard
dealing with all that tragedy?

You know, it's funny.

Some cases, they end well,
so you can forget them.

And some, like this one...

they become a part of you.

Dead kids.

Mutilated bodies.

It's all so horrible.

How do you do it?

Irish statesman and author
Edmund Burke once wrote,

"The only thing necessary
for the triumph of evil

is for good men
to do nothing."

This job isn't
just what I do,

it's who I am.

Is it worth it?

For every life we save?

Damn right it is.

Absolutely it's worth it.

I can't imagine
doing anything else.

Yes, Mr. Zimmerman.

So, you have to go visit
this guy every year

to get the name
of another victim.

That's right.

So what was the special day
of his choosing?

You really don't want us
to go with you?

It's no trouble at all.

No, it's ok.

Rossi, it's like
2 hours away.

Come on, I can drive. I'll get
us there in less than an hour.

I'm good, really.

We could stop for dinner
on the way home.

Stop.

All of you.
I'll be fine.

We'll see you
tomorrow.

You bet.

Ohh, is he gonna be ok?

Of course he is.

It's Rossi.

Agent Rossi.

I can't believe
it's been a year already.

Time flies.

Man, you must have
some serious juice.

Thought for sure
we were gonna have to cancel.

Riot in the yard,
tight-ass warden.

Whole place
is locked down.

Any plans for the big day?

Come on. You should get out
and do something.

Never know how many
of these you got left.

What's her name?

I used to hate birthdays
when I was a kid.

That's why I like
celebrating yours.

Her name.

Took her in Eureka.

Drove her out to the
Headwaters Forest Preserve

up on Elk River Road.

100 yards South of
the trailhead,

put her under
a big old Sequoia.

[Knocking]

Open gate 241.
