Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 1, Episode 19 - Machismo - full transcript

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

What is that, Maya?
A boy or girl skeleton?

(MAN SHOUTING)

Hey, Uncle Diego, Mama,
Rosa, how are you?

Diego. Please. Don´t!

Miguel!

Why´d you come here?
You´re not welcome.

Please, Diego. Leave him alone...

This is my mother´s house, too.

Let me hear her say I´m not welcome.

Tell him to stay, Mom.



Well then.

My mother will never have to
be disgraced by me again.

Miguel! Miguel!

I expect that from him...

She´s your mother.
She loves you.

Not anymore.

I´ll come back later
for my things.

Mom. He´ll come back.

(WOMAN SOBBING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Let me get you more to drink.

I´m glad you are here now.
I couldn´t talk to you in front of Rosa.

She likes to think
she can take care of me herself.

But I am getting older. I need help.



(SCREAMING)

(BABY CRYING)

Hey, what's that about?
What's that all about?

It's okay. It's okay. I'm a little grumpy
when I wake up sometimes, too.

That's great, you guys.
See what you did?

Here.

-I got him. Yeah, it's okay.
-(PHONE RINGING)

-Okay.
-Can you grab that? Thanks.

-You're holding him like a cantaloupe.
-What? You think you can do better?

Okay, smarty pants, knock yourself out.

There we go. It's okay. It's for the...

All right, let's see you profile
a disorganized psychopath.

It's your wife.

-Yeah?
-GIDEON: Hey,

I know you're taking the weekend,

but I wanted to let you know
we got a call...

(EXCLAIMING)

Amazing.

I am so glad you're here, sis.

And with you coming to town,

it's been so much easier
to get him to take time off.

And I never could have prepared
a meal like that by myself.

Go.

Honey, it's just a briefing.

A couple of hours and I'll be back,
okay?

It's okay. Go.

They need you. It's all right.
I'm not mad. Go.

(BABY CRYING)

You heard her. She said it was all right.

You're one hell of a profiler.

Allende Del Sol, Mexico,
population 20,000.

The victim is Lupe Trejo, 62.

She was found in her home stabbed
in the face, chest and genitals.

The papers down there
connected her murder

to 11 others in the past two years,
all elderly women.

They're saying
it's the work of a serial killer.

Mexican government disagrees.

What kind of city is this?

Half factory town, half tourist town.

The factory makes the tchotchkes
and clothes the tourists buy,

and even though all the murders
have happened

in the poorer neighborhoods
where the locals live...

Serial killers make
lousy tourist attractions.

-Yeah.
-So if the government denies

that this is a serial killer,
why'd they call us?

They have a suspect in custody,
the victim's son.

We're the serial killer experts,

they want us to go down there
and confirm

that this was just a onetime killing.

Put the serial killer angle to bed.

So, we're going all the way down there
just to prove

they don't have a serial killer?

Maybe. Or we're going down there
to tell them

if what I've read in the Mexican papers
is true,

they've got one of the worst
serial killers the country's ever seen.

Let's go.

Hotch, call from the car.

HOTCH: Anthony Brandt wrote,

"Other things may change us,
but we start and end with family."

Hey, at least you get to spend
your birthday weekend in Mexico.

Yeah, what's "doghouse" in Spanish?

(SPEAKING BROKEN SPANISH)

(CORRECTING REID'S SPANISH)

That's what I said.

Face it, chico,
you are only a genius in English.

Spanish? Since when?

I'm full of hidden mysteries.

All right, so why are there
so few serial killers in Mexico?

They probably have as many as we do,

but they document
almost none of them.

-Why is that?
-It's the Chikatilo Syndrome.

-The what?
-Andrei Chikatilo,

he was one of the most prolific
serial killers of the 20th century.

By the time they found him,
he'd killed more than 50 people.

He was no more experienced
than any average serial killer,

but lived in the Soviet Ukraine.

Soviets were convinced serial killers,
uniquely American phenomenon.

(IMITATING RUSSIAN ACCENT)
Inevitable result of decadent capitalism.

So what's the cultural bias in Mexico?

HOTCH: Many Mexicans believe that

serial killers are the result
of the breakdown of the family,

which gives rise to the kind of
alienated loner

who becomes a serial killer.

It's a fact there are 12 times as many
broken families in the US

than in México.

All right, so is it possible there are
fewer serial killers in Mexican culture?

It is possible, but in my experience,

evil is not a cultural phenomenon,
it's a human one.

Nothing like jet sleep, right?

Yeah, kind of like a night of drinking
without the drinking.

-Agent Gideon.
-Captain Navarro.

You're shorter than I remember.

Oh, I was on a stage.

This is Lieutenant Borquez.

-Hello.
-Hi.

This is my team.

Captain Navarro's been put in charge
of the case

-by the district attorney general.
-You guys got history?

No, we met at a seminar I gave
in Mexico City a few years ago.

"Sexual homicide in Latin America."

I just read a chapter on the subject
in Max Ryan's book.

Where do you think I got it from?

I'm glad you came. I was never sure
how much you liked me.

Why is that?

I have often told Agent Gideon

that his profiling technique would not
translate accurately in Latin culture

without a better understanding
of our cultural values.

Now's a good time to find out, right?

Captain, I'd like to get a handle
on the type of press

this has been getting and meet
some of your local police here.

Of course, but I imagine you would all
like to settle into your rooms

-and rest before we go?
-Nope. We're ready.

Let's go.

(ELLE SPEAKING SPANISH)

So what exactly do you think Agent Gideon
got wrong about your culture?

Well, there are two main -

English. English, por favor, English.

I was explaining to Agent Gideon

that his profiling theory
doesn't take into account

two powerful influences
on Mexican culture,

which is family and machismo.

You know,
you have some interesting ideas.

The district attorney general
put me in charge of this killing

when she realized
we had a relationship.

She had me invite you down to help us
settle this mess.

You are aware
that we may not be giving you

the answer you're looking for
on this one, yes?

You think the papers are right?

What are they saying exactly?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

"There's a serial assassin who's killing
elderly women in local towns

"and the attorney general
and the authorities are moving slowly."

We'll see.

What's all this?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Day of the Dead.
Three-day Latin holiday

where souls of dead relatives
are said to return to earth

to enjoy the pleasures
that they once knew of.

He sounds like
he was reading that out of a book.

Trust me, he always sounds like that.

Actually, I was reading.
I picked this pamphlet up at the airport.

As profilers, I thought you'd want to see
the crime scene first

before meeting the suspects. Yes?

You remembered something
from my lecture, huh?

Actually, I got it from your mentor,
Max Ryan.

His book, it's a great read.

The victim's name is Lupe Trejo, 62.

She was found in the bedroom
by the daughter.

No sign of forced entry.

Are there always
this many people around?

No. Church just got out.

They are walking home
from the town square.

What time was she killed?

I am guessing
sometime during the evening mass.

There wouldn't have been
a lot of people around,

otherwise he would have been seen.

Unless he blended right in.

NAVARRO: Let's go.

No forced entry means
one of two things.

A push-in. Holds a gun or a knife to her
and forces his way inside.

NAVARRO:
The murder weapon, the knife,

was taken from the kitchen
and placed at the scene.

In that case, it's most likely
that she let the killer in voluntarily.

She looked through the peephole,
saw someone she recognized.

Someone who makes her feel safe.

She lets him in and then what?

They have a drink. Have you run
a DNA analysis on these?

The closest thing we have
to a crime scene unit

is Detective Hernandez.

He has a fingerprinting kit from 1984.

-REID: Find anything?
-The victim's prints were on one.

The prints on the other were
too smudged to make any match,

but I don't think
the killer drank this anyway.

Why not?

This drink is tamarind water. It's sweet.

I could see the victim offer this
to a woman,

but these are a time of festivities,

and at night
most men would have a shot of tequila

and some beers
and maybe some cigarettes.

This looks like two women to me.

And you don't think
a woman could have done this?

-Do you?
-It's highly unlikely.

Give them to the FBI.

At the very least it'll be able to tell us
the gender of the drinkers.

-Where was she killed?
-This way.

-What are you looking for?
-Why?

Why'd the UnSub choose this victim?

Why did she feel safe enough
to let the killer inside?

This her son?

That's Miguel.

I'd say Lupe had a problem with him.

She has family photographs
everywhere, but not Miguel.

He's tucked away in her drawer.

MORGAN: Okay, so the UnSub took
items of jewelery

out of the daughter's bedroom.

Do you think he did it before
or after he killed the mother?

Well, I'd say after.

The way the victim was stabbed means
this was a sexual homicide.

When the killer's looking
for a sexual release,

the items taken are
usually an afterthought, trophies.

But he left jewelery on the victim.
Why?

It's a common sign of remorse.
A small amount of respect for the dead.

Very small if you ask me.

You are almost certainly looking
for a heterosexual male.

Why do you say that?

Well, the victim was found on the bed.

Multiple stabs wounds
to the face, chest, and genital area.

All indicators of sexual homicide.

In cases of sexual homicide,

the attacker targets objects
of his or her sexual attraction.

Heterosexual men attack women.

So, homosexual men attack men?

Did the daughter have any ideas
about who might've done this?

She didn't have any ideas
about anything.

When she found out
that her brother was a suspect,

she wanted to talk to him alone.

I refused because I didn't want
them to get their stories straight.

Then she stopped talking completely.

So, what's she protecting?

We're ready to talk to the suspect.

Of course, but first there's someone
I would like you to meet.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Maria Sanchez,
the district attorney general.

Do not be afraid.

-Agente Gideon.
-Hello.

Agente Hotchner. It's an honor.

Our papers are fascinated
with the idea of a serial killer,

and when Navarro suggested that
I invite you in to dispel this nonsense,

I immediately saw the wisdom.
But enough formalities.

I will let you get down to business.
Excuse me.

She's worse in Spanish.

Neighbors heard a loud fight
the day of the murder

between the victim, her son,
daughter and brother-in-law.

One big, happy family.

Well, the uncle had a solid alibi,
but we could not find the son.

Then we got a tip he had hired a coyote
to take him over the border.

We caught him before he crossed.

That's Miguel's sister, Rosa.

She's been here ever since she found
out that her brother was arrested.

Seems like she thinks he's innocent.

The dutiful sister. This way.

Miguel, tell us about the fight you had
with your mother the other night.

I didn't hurt my mother.

Did it have anything to do
with you leaving?

She didn't want me to go.
She was angry.

It was more than that, Miguel.

You had problems with your mother
for a long time.

What is it you're hiding?

What truth could be so terrible that

you won't defend yourself
against killing your mother?

What truth would have your mother
hiding your photographs in her drawer?

When did you first know?

Know what?

That you're a homosexual.

More to the point,
when did your mother find out?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

-How did he know?
-You told us.

Machismo and family.
You knew he was gay.

You're a better profiler
than Gideon's a lecturer.

You also knew that a gay man
couldn't have committed this murder.

That's why you asked
us about the sexuality

of the killer at the crime scene.

-You knew Miguel was innocent.
-You do not understand

how things work here.

If I had told the attorney general
that this man is a homosexual

and that is why he must be innocent,
she would have laughed in my face.

Why did you lie to us?

I had to play along with the official line

until I could trust that you would come
to the same conclusion that I did.

So we're here to serve as pawns
in your political game?

There is a very bad man killing women
in my district,

and I have known this
for a very long time.

And so far no one will believe me
or help stop him.

So, if I have to play politics
to protect the women of the city

then that is a very small price to pay.
Don't you agree?

Best way to bring the attorney general
on board

is by providing a complete profile.

-What do you need from me?
-We'll need the files on all the murders.

Of course, but I must warn you.

These reports were taken
by local police

in the area
who are not used to this type of killer.

Most basic details are missing.

REID: We'll take a look at them.

We also need to get the whole story
out of Miguel Trejo

-and right now he's not talking.
-But why does that matter?

Obviously, he's not a serial killer.

Listen, obviously there's a great deal
of anger in the family,

and before we give a profile,

we need to rule out the fact
that this might be a crime of passion

and not one of the serial killings.

And why wouldn't Miguel talk
if he's innocent?

It must have something to do
with the fact that he is a homosexual.

He'd rather be straight in jail
than gay as a free man?

I can protect him in here,

but if he's taken to a prison
in Mexico City

and the other inmates find out
that he is gay, he will be killed.

That's the way things work here.

So how do we get him to talk?

Rosa, do you know the saying...
(SPEAKING SPANISH)

"love is blind, but not the neighbors"?

We know there was a fight.
We need to know what it was about.

Rosa, we know about your brother.

If you don't help us,
he could go to prison

and he could be killed there.

(ELLE SPEAKING SPANISH)

You know this could be his last chance.

Miguel has a friend, Roberto.

He was outside the house
waiting for my brother, watching.

He saw the fight with my mother.

Did Miguel see him?

I don't think so.

Why didn't you tell us
about this before?

Because it would mean
telling you that

Miguel is...

Like you said, if he goes to prison
and they know this about him,

they will kill him and I cannot risk that.

But you're talking about the man
who might have murdered your mother.

You do not understand how bad it is.

You do not understand the shame.

You do not understand
what people will do to us.

I just lost my mother.
I cannot lose Miguel.

(SIGHING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Family is everything.

She may have come clean
about that day,

but I still think she's hiding something.

The way she went on about shame,

almost like
she was talking about herself.

This is interesting.

Before Miguel met Roberto,
Roberto had a wife.

Well, if he was bisexual...

It makes him capable
of sexual homicide of a woman.

And if he blamed Miguel's mother
for denying their relationship,

that would give him motive.

We need to find Roberto.

Roberto.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

You don't understand.
I would never hurt Miguel's mother.

She was nice to me.

She was trying to accept me.

But Miguel's uncle made her feel bad
for that.

People like him make it impossible
for us.

They'll never accept us.

Why'd you follow Miguel to his house,

and why were you watching
Rosa and her mother?

Miguel and I had a fight that day.
He was very upset. He got drunk.

He was going to his family celebration.
I was afraid for him.

I was afraid of the trouble
he might cause with his uncle.

What'd you see?

Miguel did not do it.
Is that what you want?

For me to turn against him?
I won't. He did not do it.

No, that's not what I asked.
You were outside the house watching.

So, what did you see?

I saw nothing. I saw children playing.
A woman.

-What woman?
-I walked past her on the street.

She had papers, a badge.

I think she was a social worker
going house to house.

-What did she look like?
-I don't know. Heavy.

Maybe 40s or 50s.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

NAVARRO: Okay.

It is common for social workers
and nurses to come from the city,

help out elderly women.

Tell them about benefits they may have
is part of the reaching out programme.

So it could have been the victim
who invited the social worker inside

and maybe she was the one given
the tamarind water.

She could be our best witness.

I will check with local services.
What about Roberto?

-MORGAN: I don't think he did it.
-Why not?

The way he talked about Miguel.

He didn't point the finger
at his boyfriend

-and I think a guilty man would have.
-See if he has an alibi.

Run his prints against any found
at the scene.

Right now though I feel confident

we can rule out a family fight
as a motive for the murder.

There's a call from the FBI.

Yeah, Morgan.

Dónde está, my lovelies?

(SPEAKING BROKEN SPANISH)

Okay, take it easy, Garcia.

I think you just offended
somebody's mother.

Shut up, you. I took French.
What can I say?

Penelope, your last name is Garcia.

Yeah, I know. It's my stepfather's name.

Now do you want my genius or not?

-Yes. Please, get on with it.
-Okay!

So, I rushed your cups full of mucus
through all the regular channels

at lightning speed and survey says
one female drinker and one male.

Thanks, doll.

It's strange, on this occasion
a man taking that drink.

Unless the victim thought
he was a woman.

The woman Roberto described,
a social worker.

That's a common ruse
for old-lady killers.

What if she is really a he
in women's clothing?

-A heavy woman.
-He comes to the door, knocks on it.

And the victim feels comfortable
because she thinks it's a woman.

It would explain
why no witnesses have come forward.

No one expects
the killer to be a woman.

-Not in this country.
-Or ours.

-We need to tell the locals.
-And give them the rest of the profile.

We have reason to believe
that the killer may be a man

who wears women's clothing as a ruse
to get into his victim's homes.

Once inside, the killer stabs his victims

and then abuses them sexually
with the knife.

But he wasn't always a killer.

He gradually escalated
from sex crimes.

These may have started out
as Peeping Tom incidents,

eventually leading to rape.

And then at some point
he couldn't rape any more.

So, he began killing women

who represented authority figures
in his life he hated.

Typically a mother or grandmother.

Women that he blamed
for his impotence.

How would we have targeted
these women?

We found no connection
between them.

We don't know yet.

But based
on the number of times he's killed

and his skill at gaining the trust
of his victims,

we can assume
that he plans his murders

and that he's been committing
sex crimes for many years.

We think he's somewhere
between the ages of 35 and 50.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

You need to talk to
all known sex offenders

and compare them to this profile.

You should also re-interview
all your witnesses

and see if anyone saw a man who
might have been dressed as a woman.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SIGHING)

We have another body.

Isabel Santiago, 67.

No sign of forced entry.
Stabbed in the chest and genitals.

Abrasions on her neck.

Beads, from a necklace.

Obviously ripped off her neck.

Yeah, but jewelery taken
from the body.

That's a first we've seen from this guy.

So, why was this one different?

Over the past two years,

we've had an average of one killing
every nine weeks.

Now two in three days.

That's a pretty extreme escalation.
He'll kill again soon.

Who's that over there?

That's the daughter of the victim.

Maybe she can tell us something
about the necklace.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Anna, my name is Elle.
I´m sorry about everything.

Do you think you might be able to
answer a few questions right now?

Yes.

Your mother was wearing a necklace.
It was taken from her.

Do you know if it had
any special significance to her?

She gave it to me for my birthday.

She never bought jewelery for herself.

She asked if she could wear it
during the holiday.

So this necklace was yours?

It was my favorite.
I wore it almost every day.

Navarro says there's some sort of
disturbance at the police station.

-We're going to go check it out.
-All right.

(HECKLING IN SPANISH)

What is going on here, Borquez?

What did they do?

They are following the orders
of the FBI.

-Bringing in the sex criminals.
-What did you tell them?

We put out there the possibility
that he dresses like a woman.

We told them to look into people
convicted of sex crimes.

We didn't mean this.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

What is going on, Victor, huh?

These men were supposed
to put the serial killer rumors to rest,

and now they are making us
look like a joke.

What do you want
people to think of us?

-It was a misunderstanding.
-And it won't happen again.

It was your idea to bring them here,
and obviously it was a waste of time.

Please, go home.

These police are not stupid men.
They're frustrated.

They read articles in newspapers
saying that they're ineffective

and they want to prove
that they are not.

They will do this
any way they know how.

We told them that the suspect was
probably a man dressed as a woman.

We didn't say to round up
all the transvestites and bring them in.

Why? Is it impossible
that this man is a transvestite?

No. No, that's not what we're saying.

Men dressing like women,

it's a manifestation
of sexual preference.

It is a lifestyle.

It does not imply
a psychology of violent behavior.

We're talking about the killer's past.

That's why we were asking for people

who have been accused of sex crimes.

-Are the police looking into this?
-How?

Most rapes here are not even reported,

and the rapists are often people
who have power over them.

Sometimes family.
Sometimes even law enforcement.

I have interviewed many, many women
and they do not want to talk.

We can help you.
We can teach you interview strategies.

I specialized in sex crimes
and I speak Spanish.

-How do we even get to these women?
-We hold a press conference.

Let everyone know
what we're looking for.

What about the attorney general?
She wants us to leave.

Do not worry about her.

I convinced her to bring you down here,
I can convince her to let you stay.

We will have that press conference.

All I have to do is
figure out what to say.

Be forceful, but respectful.

Tell them, "Please,
if you have any information at all,

"we urge you to come forward.

"The one thing we absolutely do know
about this kind of criminal

"is that he does not stop offending
until he is stopped."

The reporters will ask,

"Why look for a rapist
when we're trying to catch a killer?"

You don't need to mention the killer.

Just tell them that you care
about the women in this town

and that you are committed to catching
the men who hurt them.

Why are we looking for a rapist?

Because we know
this man commits sexual homicide,

we can also assume
that he was once a rapist.

It's a lot easier to track a rapist than
a killer because you have witnesses.

But you also have the chance
to discover something else,

the reason he began killing.

Which is the stressor.

As far as we can tell,

the first killing
was about two years ago.

What happened to the suspect
during that time?

A typical stressor,
loss of a job, loss of love.

He may have been released
from prison.

Whatever it was,
it made him feel impotent.

It made him feel frustrated
and very angry.

And that's when he started killing.

You should be talking to victims

who reported rapes just before
that first murder two years ago.

Hopefully, the press conference
will help bring

some of these women forward,

but we also need to head out and talk
to some of these people directly.

You should use
all the female police you have.

It will help put
potential victims at ease.

Well, we don't have any, boss.

You do now.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I've been talking to so many women
I'm forgetting how to speak English.

Well, you know, you look Latina.

Well, there's a good reason for that.
My mother's Cuban.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

We may have something.

A woman called the police station after
she saw the report on the television.

Yeah?

She says she has information
on the rapist.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Excuse me. I was told you want to talk
to me about the rapist we´re looking for.

Can you help us?

Do you care?

I´m sorry?

Do you care?

Most of the time nobody around here
cares what happens to women.

Nobody does anything about it.
That's why nobody talks to the police.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

What can the police do if when a crime
is committed no one comes forward?

The man who attacked me
is a stupid dog.

He's a coward. He came up from
behind and he started to rape me,

but then I turned around
and I started hitting him.

I scratched him. I made him bleed,

and that's when I saw
he was wearing a dress.

(CHUCKLING)

A dress. I couldn't believe it.

I laughed in his face.
I called him a pathetic woman.

He was so scared.

He ran away like a little boy.

-When did this happen, Milagros?
-Two years ago.

If you weren't afraid of this man,
why didn't you report him?

I told you. What good would it do?

Well, she claimed
it happened two years ago in August.

The first murder happened
in September.

So she could have been
the last one who was raped

before whatever stressor made him kill.

Or she could have been the stressor.

You say
this woman laughed in his face,

hit him, called him a woman.

That could have been enough
to make him impotent.

He tries to rape again and
all he can hear is this woman laughing.

Maybe he thought
he could rape older women.

Thought they'd be easier.
Wouldn't put up a fight, so he tries.

But he can't. He gets frustrated,
he kills her,

and then he finds the release
that he was looking for.

-HOTCH: So he kills again.
-Excuse me.

-The other victims are here.
-Send them in.

You wanted us to come forward?

Here are six more women
who were raped by this man.

Now prove to us
it will finally do some good.

(SPEAKING SPANISH
EFFEMINATELY)

How did you find all these women,
Milagros?

Señor Navarro, we may not talk to you,
but we talk to each other.

Well, now you must tell us your stories.
Every detail.

Because the cycle does not end
until this man is stopped.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

They all have the same story.

He goes up to them in the street,
puts a knife against their back,

blindfolds them,
and takes them out to the desert.

He also kissed their neck
while raping them.

And then when he's finished he asks,
"How did I do?"

-Classic power-reassurance behavior.
-What does that mean?

Power-reassurance rapists
lack confidence.

They can't develop
normal relationships with women.

Passive and non-athletic.

He most likely fantasizes
that the victims are his girlfriends

and of the different types of rapists,
he's the most likely to be dissuaded

if the victim screams
or struggles in any way.

Is that it? All the characteristics
of the power-assurance rapist?

-There's actually one more...
-Excuse me.

I've been going over the forms filled out
by the women.

Four of them work in the same factory.

He most likely lives or works
near the victim.

I have owned this plant for nine years

and I do not allow the men I hire
to abuse the women.

I'm sorry, but I do not believe
this man works here.

Miss, the man we're looking for
wouldn't be openly abusive.

He might just like
following women around

or peeking into women's bathrooms.
That sort of thing.

He would be shy with women,
especially you.

You intimidate him. He probably
couldn't look you in the eye.

The only way I could be a woman
and run this plant

is to make sure
every man feels that way.

I'm sorry.

How many men work here?

Over 50.

We need to look through
all your employee records.

So far I've found
more than three dozen men

who fit the target profile
between the ages of 35 and 50.

This owner wasn't kidding.

Almost all of these guys had a citation

for lewd behavior
against the women here.

They'd be warned once and then
they'd be fired if it happened again.

-I wouldn't mess with her.
-Afraid of a woman, Hotch?

Shoot, I'd be afraid of her.

Only one of these men showed up
in police records with a sex crime.

He beat up a prostitute
when she refused to get rough.

Not our guy. He'd be scared.

He wouldn't have the confidence
to stand up to a refusal.

Okay, but this is crazy.

There's way too many men here
to interview and not enough time.

Okay, we need to narrow down
the profile.

-What would make our guy stand out?
-From what you tell me,

he completely lacks machismo.

He has none of the confidence
of a typical man in México.

Even with a knife in his hand.

What was it he said to the women
after raping them?

"How did I do?"

Any guy with confidence doesn't need
to ask if he's doing a good job.

He assumes it, in bed and at work.

In bed and at work. Come on.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

This guy
desperately wants to impress you.

No matter how small the job,
he always wants your approval.

He may constantly ask, "How did I do?"

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Pablo Vargas. He's been on vacation
since four days ago.

The day of Lupe Trejo's killing.

What does he do here?

He's the floor manager of sector 16,
women's plus-sizes.

We're going to need his address and

any other information you can give us.

Thank you.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(CHATTERING ON TV)

There's a TV on. Someone's inside.

(MAN SPEAKING SPANISH
OVER RADIO)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

HOTCH: Go.

(CHATTERING ON TV)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Hotch!

A little late.

-Souvenirs for his mother?
-Anna's necklace.

Elle, look at this.

His rape victims.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Goodnight , dear. And be careful.
Lock your doors.

We have a name,
but how do you find him?

We always ask, why this victim?
Why the next victim?

Serial killers plan their killings,

and if we can figure out how he targets
his victims we can get ahead of him.

Borquez, what is this?

I charted all the names
of the rape victims who came in

like they instructed us.

That name, Torres.

There was a murder victim
with that name.

Well, sir, there are hundreds of
Torreses in this town.

Let me see the statements.

-What is it?
-It's maiden names.

The murder victims
and the rape victims.

The names are the same.

He's killing the mothers of the women
he raped.

REID: He's doing it in the same order.

The daughters of the last two
murder victims, Trejo and Santiago,

never came forward.

If we can assume they were raped,

then according to the board
the next rape victim in line was...

HOTCH: Milagros Villanueva.

-His last.
-He's going to kill her mother.

ELLE: Morgan!

What's up? You all right?

ELLE: Yeah.

-You good?
-Behind you.

It's clear!

Elle.

Over here!

-You got me?
-Got you.

He pretended to be a woman.
Now he doesn't have to pretend.

(MARIA SPEAKING SPANISH)

-Will they be charged?
-Charged? Why?

They were only defending their homes.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Good job, Agent Gideon.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

What did you say in there?

It's just an old Mexican proverb.

Please. Do not hesitate to call
next time you're in town.

Thank you.

I'm thinking of starting
a BAU in my district.

Takes a lot of training.

Thank you.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

HOTCH: Mexican proverb.

"The house does not rest upon
the ground but upon a woman."
