Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 10, Episode 17 - Breath Play - full transcript

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[KEYS JINGLE]

[SETS KEYS DOWN]

[SHOWER RUNNING]

[SHOWER TURNS OFF]

[WATER RUNNING]

RINSE YOUR
BELLY BUTTON
3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY

WITH SEA SALT
AND WARM WATER.

AND IF THE BARB IS
VISIBLE THROUGH
THE SKIN--

MEG?
ARE YOU OK?

YEAH. I MEAN,
YOU WOULDN'T LET ME
GET IT PIERCED,



SO I DID IT MYSELF.

WELL, THAT WAS
REALLY DANGEROUS.

YOU COULD HAVE
HURT YOURSELF.

YEAH, I GUESS.

BUT I WATCHED A BUNCH
OF VIDEOS ONLINE.

IT LOOKED EASY.

I OWE YOU AND DEREK
A STEAK DINNER.

[LAUGHS]
IT'S NO PROBLEM.

DEREK GAVE ME
THE HEADS UP

AND I WAS
STANDING BY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GET YOU HOME.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

I KNOW THAT LOOK.

NEW CASE?



YEAH. UM, CHRIS IS
JUST A MINUTE AWAY.

CAN SHE JUST WAIT IN HERE?
SURE.

PHONE, PLEASE.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HOW LONG?

I'M NOT SURE YET.

THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM.

PUTTING ME ON TECH TIMEOUT?

THE DICTATORS
ARE SO UNREASONABLE.

SO, WHY'D YOU
REALLY DO IT?

PEER PRESSURE?
ATTENTION?

YOU PUNISHING KATE
FOR BEING ON
THE ROAD SO MUCH?

[SIGHS]
IT ISN'T EASY
LOVING SOMEONE

WHO'S GONE ALL
THE TIME, TRUST ME.

BUT IT ISN'T EASY
ON THEM, EITHER.

THEY MISS OUT
ON A LOT.

LISTEN, IF YOU EVER
NEED TO TALK,

I'M A GOOD
SOUNDING BOARD.

SO, YOU GIVING HER
A LITTLE TOUGH LOVE
OR WHAT?

UGH, I WANTED TO,
BUT SHE'S NEVER BEEN 13,

I'VE NEVER HAD A TEENAGER,

AND THERE'S NOT REALLY
A MANUAL FOR THIS KIND
OF THING, RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW, I'M PRETTY
SURE THERE'S MILLIONS OF
BOOKS OUT THERE

TRUE. BUT I THINK
SHE'S JUST REBELLING

AGAINST
A CONVERSATION WE
HAD THE OTHER NIGHT.

IT DOESN'T TAKE
A PROFILER

TO FIGURE OUT
WHY MEG WOULD DECIDE

TO PIERCE
HER BELLY BUTTON.

NO.

YES.
SERIOUSLY?

OK, SO THAT'S WHY
YOU'VE GOT THIS LITTLE
GLOW THING GOING ON.

WELL, YOU KNOW.
AND ALL THIS TIME

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST
ME MAKING YOU BLUSH.

OH, NO,
IT'S THAT, TOO.

CONGRATS. COME HERE.

WOW.
OH!

HEY, HUGS
ARE HAPPENING.
YEAH.

I WANT IN.

HUGS.

WHY ARE WE HUGGING?

NOT THAT I MIND
SOME EARLY MORNING

UNEXPECTED LOVING,
BUT.

HEH. YOU'RE GLOWING.
HEH.

SHE'S GLOWING.
SHE'S GLOWING.

WHO ELSE KNOWS?

UH, HOTCH, MORGAN,
AND NOW YOU.

OH! I'M SO HAPPY!

YOU GUYS.
YOU GUYS! KATE
HAS THE BEST NEWS.

SAY IT BEFORE
WE HAVE TO DO
THE OTHER STUFF.

GOOD MORNING,
I'M PREGNANT.

GARCIA: AHH!
WHAT?

BUONA FORTUNA.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN.

THANK YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS.

YES!
OH, MY GOODNESS.

OK, SO WHEN
I WAS PREGNANT, I WORE
HEADPHONES ON MY BELLY

'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT
HENRY HEARING ALL
THIS CREEPY STUFF.

OH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
WHAT DID YOU LISTEN TO?

UH, BEETLES,
BEE GEES.

SPENCE INSISTED THAT
HE LISTEN TO MOZART.

NICE.

I HATE TO INTERRUPT
THE JOY,

BUT WE REALLY NEED
TO GET TO WISCONSIN,

ALSO KNOWN AS
THE LOVELY BADGER STATE,
HOME OF MILK AND CHEESE.

HEAVEN TO ME, HELL TO
THE LACTOSE INTOLERANT.

AND MOSQUITOES THE
SIZE OF AN IMPALA,

I SWEAR ON MY LIFE.

OH, GOOD TO KNOW.
OK, TWO WEEKS AGO,

MADISON P.D. FOUND
THE BODY OF MARY HEALY.

3 NIGHTS AGO,
THEY DISCOVERED
DONNA RAYBURN.

AND THIS MORNING,
THE BODY OF EMMA ZIKO

WAS DISCOVERED
BY HER FRIEND.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO
ON A JOG TOGETHER.

ALL 3 WOMEN HAD HAD
THEIR WRISTS TIED

TO THE BED WITH SCARVES,

AND THEY WERE
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED

BEFORE THEY WERE STRANGLED.

FROM A QUARTER INCH
ROPE.

YEAH, THE ABRASION MARKS
AREN'T VERY TEXTURED.

THE CORD MATERIAL COULD BE
SOMETHING LIKE NYLON.

MADISON P.D. FOUND
THE SAME DNA ON
ALL 3 VICTIMS.

AND IT SAYS HERE
THAT THE UNSUB'S
NOT IN CODIS.

MIDDLE CLASS SUBURB.
HE'S EITHER A MEMBER
OF IT

OR HE BLENDS IN.

AT EMMA'S, HE IGNORED
$200 CASH ON THE DRESSER

ANY SIGNS OF FORCED ENTRY?
MAYBE HE CAME IN THROUGH
AN OPEN WINDOW.

NO TO BOTH.
MAYBE THE UNSUB USED
A RUSE TO GET IN.

THAT'S POSSIBLE.
COULD BE PART OF
HIS M.O.

SO HE'S LESS
DETECTIBLE.

MAYBE HE KNOWS
WHEN THEY GO TO SLEEP

OR HE LIES IN WAIT.

IF THAT'S THE CASE,
IT WOULD TAKE TIME.

CELL PHONE ACTIVITY
SHOWS THAT EMMA WAS HOME
FOR HOURS.

DID HE WATCH HER
THE ENTIRE NIGHT?

WHETHER HE KNOWS
THE VICTIMS OR NOT,
HE'S HIT HIS STRIDE

AND HE'S NOT GONNA
TAKE TIME TO COOL OFF.

WHEELS UP IN 30.

[INHALES]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GASPING]

GIRL: HEY, DAD.
HEY, SWEETS.

YOU, UH, READY FOR
YOUR CHEMISTRY TEST?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

[ENGINE STARTS]

ROSSI: "THERE IS HARDLY
ANYONE WHOSE SEXUAL LIFE

"IF IT WERE BROADCAST WOULD
NOT FILL THE WORLD AT LARGE

WITH SURPRISE AND HORROR."

W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM.

ALL 3 VICTIMS WERE
BORN AND RAISED IN
THE MADISON AREA.

NO PRIORS.

MARY HEALY
WAS A DENTIST,

WHILE DONNA RAYBURN
WAS A LOGISTICS MANAGER.

BOTH WERE 27 AND SINGLE.

AND EMMA ZIKO,
THE LATEST VICTIM,
WAS A CHEF.

SHE WAS 30 AND MARRIED.
MARRIED?

THAT COULD BE AN ESCALATION
TO WHAT HE DESIRES MOST.

THEY LIVED 3 MILES
FROM EACH OTHER,

BUT THEIR SOCIAL
AND WORK LIVES DON'T OVERLAP.

SO THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
ITSELF MIGHT BE
THE CONNECTION TO HIM.

GETTING IN AND OUT
OF A HOUSE UNDETECTED
IS TRICKY.

WE STILL HAVEN'T
RULED OUT A RUSE.

WITH THIS COMBO
OF BALLS AND SKILL,

IT CAN'T BE HIS
FIRST TIME KILLING.

AND GARCIA SHOULD SEARCH
FOR ANY PAST HIGH RISK
VICTIMS IN THE AREA.

WERE IN
PHONE CONTACT
WITH THE UNSUB.

ALL RIGHT, DAVE,
YOU AND REID GO TO
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER.

AND JJ AND I WILL
INTERVIEW FRIENDS AND
FAMILY AT THE STATION.

HI, I'M DETECTIVE PIERCE.
WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.

I'M AGENT HOTCHNER.
THIS IS AGENT JAREAU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

EMMA'S HUSBAND JUST GOT BACK
FROM A BACHELOR PARTY

UP NORTH.
HE'S AT THE CRIME SCENE.

RACHEL LITTERSKI,
A FRIEND OF DONNA'S,
IS IN THERE.

AND OVER THERE IS
MARY HEALY'S BROTHER
ROBERT.

THANK YOU,
DETECTIVE.
OF COURSE.

ROBERT, DO YOU MIND
IF I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS
ABOUT MARY?

OF COURSE NOT.

ANYTHING THAT HELPS.

HOW CLOSE WERE YOU TWO?

VERY, UM.

WE EVEN WORKED
TOGETHER.

I WAS HER
OFFICE MANAGER,

AND MY WIFE WAS
HER BEST FRIEND.

DID SHE HAVE ANY ENEMIES?

DONNA WAS MAGNETIC.
EVERYBODY LOVED HER.

DID SHE MENTION ANYTHING
ABOUT BEING FOLLOWED
OR WATCHED?

NO. ALL SHE EVER TALKED
ABOUT WAS CHURCH STUFF

AND THESE ROMANCE NOVELS
SHE DEVOURED BY THE BIN.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT DONNA'S
PLANS WERE THAT NIGHT?

MARY SAID
SHE WAS TIRED

AND GOING HOME
RIGHT AFTER WORK.

THE PERSON WHO DID THIS
PROBABLY KNEW HER.

WAS SHE EVER IN
A CONTROLLING RELATIONSHIP?

DONNA WAS TOO INVOLVED
WITH CHURCH EVENTS
FOR DATING.

WHAT ABOUT
OLD BOYFRIENDS?

THEY WERE NEVER
AROUND FOR LONG.

WHERE DID SHE MEET THEM?

MOSTLY ONLINE.

SO MANY OF THEM,
I LOST TRACK.

DO ANY OF THEM
STICK OUT?

KEVIN WAS THE ONLY ONE,

BUT HE DIED IN
A CAR ACCIDENT
TWO YEARS AGO.

HE REALLY BROKE
HER FAITH.

LOSING HIM GOT HER
WRAPPED UP IN THOSE BOOKS.

GARCIA'S STILL
TRACKING THE VICTIMS'
CELL PHONE RECORDS,

BUT SHE WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE

ANY PAST HIGH RISK
VICTIMS IN THE AREA.

SO WHAT IF THE AREA
IS FIRST?

WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE
MET ONLINE.

THAT'S PROBABLY
UNLIKELY WITH DONNA.

ALL SHE DID
WAS GO TO CHURCH

AND BINGE-READ
ROMANCE NOVELS.

BUT THEN HOW
DID HE PICK THEM?

THESE TWO VICTIMS
JUST DON'T MATCH UP.

ONE DATES AROUND
AND THE OTHER DIDN'T AT ALL.

OK, SO WHAT'S
THE LINK THAT GOT
THESE TWO TARGETED

BY THE UNSUB?

EMMA WAS MARRIED
AND HAD AN ALARM.

THAT SEEMS LIKE
TWO GIANT ESCALATIONS.

SO HOW'D
THIS GUY GET AROUND
THE SYSTEM?

KATE?

YEAH, SORRY.

WOULD EMMA HAVE
DISARMED THE SYSTEM
AND LET HIM IN,

ESPECIALLY THAT
LATE AT NIGHT?

WELL, IF SHE DIDN'T
LET HIM IN,

HE'D ONLY HAVE
A FEW SECONDS
TO CUT THE FEED.

UNLESS HE KNEW THE CODE.

PROBABLY NOT,
BUT MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD.

I MEAN, WHO ELSE
KNEW THE CODE?

ONLY ME AND EMMA KNEW IT.

I CHANGED THE CODE
EVERY 90 DAYS.

MAYBE EMMA PUT
THE CODE IN HER
PHONE AS A REMINDER

AND SOMEHOW
IT WAS HACKED?

NO. NO, I WOULDN'T
LET US WRITE IT DOWN.

AFTER A HOME INVASION
6 YEARS AGO,

UH, I MADE US MEMORIZE IT.

YOUR POSTURE
JUST CHANGED

WHEN WE MENTIONED
HER PHONE. WHY?

I FOUND SOMETHING
IN HER--HER PHONE.

THEY WERE INTIMATE TEXTS
WITH A NUMBER
THAT I DON'T KNOW

AND CAN'T TRACE.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

GARCIA: THAT NUMBER
BELONGS TO A DISPOSABLE
CELL PHONE.

AND HOW MUCH CORRESPONDENCE
DID EMMA HAVE WITH THAT NUMBER?

A LOT. LIKE, HUNDREDS,
A LOT.

ALL FROM THE LAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS.

TEXTS, VOICE CALLS,
NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY
PICTURES.

BACK AND FORTH.
NO FACES.

AND THE FEELING
WAS MUTUAL.

HE KNEW HOW TO PUSH
HER SEXY BUTTONS,

PROMISING HER EVERYTHING
SHE WAS MISSING
IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

SO THIS GUY BUILT UP
A RELATIONSHIP
WITH HER FIRST.

IS IT THE SAME
WITH THE FIRST
TWO VICTIMS?

UH, CHECKING.
CHECKING.

YEAH. YEAH, AND HE
CORRESPONDED WITH EACH
USING A DIFFERENT NUMBER.

SO HE EITHER HAD
A BURNER PHONE
FOR EACH VICTIM

OR ONE PHONE WITH
MULTIPLE LINES.

ALL RIGHT,
THANKS, MAMA.

ALL RIGHT,
EVEN THOUGH VERNON
WAS UPTIGHT

ABOUT HOME DEFENSE,
LET'S CALL
THE SECURITY COMPANY

AND CHECK OUT
THE ALARM RECORDS.

[DOOR OPENS]

[LAUGHS]
CHECK IT OUT.

[BABY BABBLES]

HEY, CHARLOTTE.
YOU'RE SO CUTE.

GIRLS, IT IS DINNERTIME.
BOOK BAGS OUT
OF THE WALKWAY.

CONNIE, MELISSA,
I AM TIRED--

GOD, MOM, YOU'RE
SUCH A TYRANT.

CONNIE ROSE,
I AM SICK AND TIRED--

MAN: HEY, FAMILY.

DAD.
DADDY!

[LAUGHS]
HEY, SWEETS.
DADDY!

HEY, MAGPIE.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

LEFTOVERS ON THE TABLE.
LET'S GO.

[SIGHS]

SHE'LL BE YOUR
BEST FRIEND
WHEN SHE'S 25.

YEAH.
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

WELL, JUAN ACED
HIS STRENGTH TEST.

HE'S ALMOST 100%
AFTER HIS ACL SURGERY.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

BUSY.

STUDY GROUP TONIGHT
AFTER CLASS.

I HOPE IT'S NOT GONNA BE
ANOTHER ALL-NIGHTER.

THESE MCATS
ARE GONNA KILL ME.

WELL, YOU'LL DO
GREAT, HONEY.

CARTILAGE AROUND
THE WINDPIPE WAS DAMAGED,

BUT COD WAS ACTUALLY
A CRUSHED TRACHEA.

I'M SURPRISED EMMA
DIDN'T GO INTO CARDIAC
ARREST BEFORE THEN.

ALSO, EACH VICTIM HAS
ADVANCED ANTI-MORTEM BRUISING
AROUND THEIR WRISTS

FROM THE BINDINGS.

REID: HOW LONG WAS
IT BEFORE THE START

OF THE BRUISING
AND THE KILL?

ROUGHLY 6 HOURS.

NOBODY HAS SEX
FOR 6 STRAIGHT HOURS,

NOT EVEN STING.

MAYBE HE'S INTERACTING
WITH THEM BEFOREHAND.

NONETHELESS, IT'S
AN ENDURANCE TEST.

HE'D HAVE TO BE
IN PRETTY GREAT
PHYSICAL SHAPE.

THE ANTI-MORTEM BRUISING
ON THE NECK

MEANS HE STRANGLED
AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY.

HE WAS TOYING WITH THEM.
TIME SPENT WITH THEM

IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THE KILL.

WELL, DO YOU THINK
THE STRANGULATION

IS JUST A DISPATCHING
METHOD, THEN?

COULD BE. I MEAN,
WHAT IF THIS IS ALL
ABOUT EROTIC ASPHYXIATION?

IF THAT'S THE CASE,

ISN'T THE PLEASURE USUALLY
ALL FOR THE RECIPIENT?

MAYBE NOT FOR HIM.

CUTTING OFF HIS
VICTIM'S AIR SUPPLY

MIGHT BE HOW
HE SATISFIES
HIS OWN URGES.

THANK YOU.

HEY, YOUR MOM HAD A REALLY
ROUGH DAY AT WORK, OK?

DAD, I WISH...

YEAH?

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE
YOU'RE NEVER AROUND
ANYMORE.

I KNOW, IT'S TOUGH
ON ME, TOO.

WELL, THEN I WAS
THINKING THAT MAYBE
TONIGHT

WE COULD,
LIKE, WATCH
THE BADGERS GAME.

NEVER MIND.
IT'S A DUMB IDEA.

HEY, IT'S NOT DUMB.

YOU KNOW I WANT TO.

TAPE IT FOR US,
WILL YOU?

DAD, IT'S A DVR.

GOD, YOU'RE
SO NINETIES.

I LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU, TOO, DAD.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

6 HOURS IS
A LONG TIME,

FOR SOMEONE TO BE
HELD AND NO ONE
TO HEAR ANYTHING.

CELL RECORDS TELL US
THEY COMMUNICATED

A LOT IN THE WEEKS
LEADING UP TO
THE MURDERS.

WHAT IF THE VICTIMS
DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE
IN TROUBLE?

REALLY? WELL, OK.
I HAVE A BLACK LAB.

MAN: OH, I LOVE DOGS.
WHEN I WAS A KID,
WE ALWAYS HAD RETRIEVERS.

[LAUGHS] WELL, MY BEN
IS A TOTAL SWEETHEART.

SO, YOU LIKE BEING
A CHEMIST?

I MEAN, I GUESS,
HAVE YOU ALWAYS
LIKED SCIENCE?

YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.

IT'S SO, UM,
I DON'T KNOW,
THIS SOUNDS WEIRD,

BUT CHEMISTRY IS,
WELL, EXHILARATING IS
NOT THE RIGHT WORD.

YOU'RE LUCKY TO HAVE
A PASSION.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU,
DO YOU LIKE BEING
AN ACCOUNTANT?

IT'S BEEN FINE.

SO, UH, YOU HAVE KIDS?

NOPE. NEVER REALLY,
UH, FELT THE URGE, I GUESS.

YOU?

ME? NO.
NO KIDS.

WELL. UM, I HAVE
AN EARLY MORNING.

I SHOULD GET TO BED.

WELL, MAYBE WE CAN
TALK AGAIN TOMORROW.

I'D REALLY LIKE THAT.

GOOD NIGHT.

[BEEP]

WE KNOW HE GAINS
THEIR TRUST.

AND WITH EMMA'S
HUSBAND OUT OF TOWN.

LOOKS LIKE THE ALARM
WASN'T ARMED THAT NIGHT.

VERNON SAID HE MADE
SURE THAT EMMA
ALWAYS SET IT,

ESPECIALLY WHEN
HE WAS OUT OF TOWN.

SHE DID,
EXCEPT FOR LAST NIGHT.

THE ONE NIGHT SHE DOESN'T,
SHE ENDS UP DEAD?

[GASPS]

I THINK SHE KNEW
THE UNSUB WAS COMING.

WHAT TOOK YOU
SO LONG?

THE VICTIM'S NAME
IS LYNN BOYD,

AND SHE WAS ALSO
MARRIED.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S
SETTLING ON A TYPE.

YEAH, DATING SITES
LIKE ASHLEY MADISON

SUGGEST MARRIED
PEOPLE ARE MORE
LIKELY TO CHEAT

WITH OTHER
MARRIED PEOPLE.

MUTUALLY ASSURED
DESTRUCTION.

YEAH. ONE PARTY'S
LESS LIKELY

TO CONFESS IF THEY
KNOW IT COULD HURT
THEM, TOO.

BUT EVEN WITH THIS SET-UP,

PEOPLE STILL HAVE
THEIR HEARTS BROKEN.

IT'S ONLY HUMAN.

JUST HAVE TO DO IT
VERY QUIETLY.

IF EMMA WAS GONNA STRAY,
SHE'D PROBABLY DO IT
WITH A MARRIED MAN,

WHICH MEANS MOST LIKELY
THIS GUY'S MARRIED.

"HE FEEDS ON
MY HUMILIATION,

"IMPLORING ME
TO BEG.

"MY INNER TIGRESS
WHISPERS,

"'DON'T LET HIM HAVE
ALL THE FUN.

'FREE YOURSELF.'
I FEEL MYSELF CURL
WITH EXCITEMENT."

THERE'S SOMETHING VAGUELY
FAMILIAR ABOUT THAT PASSAGE.

I'VE READ THAT BEFORE.

THE BINDINGS,
THE SILK SCARF,
THE ROUGH SEX.

HE'S USING
"BARE REFLECTIONS"
TO CHOOSE HIS VICTIMS.

I'M ALL YOURS.
GIVE IT TO ME.

WAIT, SIR, I MEANT THAT IN
THE "HOW CAN I HELP YOU?" WAY,

NOT IN THE--
'CAUSE YOU'RE SUPER LOVELY.

GARCIA, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THE ROMANCE NOVEL
"BARE REFLECTIONS"?

I CAN TELL YOU
IT'S VERY POPULAR.

AND LET ME SEE.
TYPING AND CHECKING
AND TYPING AND...

IT IS WAY MORE POPULAR
THAN I THOUGHT.

HOW POPULAR?

UH, LIKE CULTURAL
PHENOMENON.

LIKE, LICENSED PRODUCTS,

LIKE RED SILK SCARVES
AND LINGERIE.

AND, OOH,
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

IS A BABY ONESIE
THAT SAYS "9 MONTHS AGO

MY MOM READ
'BARE REFLECTIONS,'"

WHICH IS SUPER CREEPY
AND WEIRDLY CUTE.

CLEARLY I'M IN
THE WRONG GENRE.

IF THIS BOOK IS MAINSTREAM,

THEN HIS VICTIM POOL
IS LARGE.

GARCIA, DID ANY OF
THE OTHER VICTIMS

BESIDES LYNN
OWN A COPY?

UH, LET'S SEE.

MARY HEALY HAD IT
ON HER TABLET.

DONNA RAYBURN CHECK IT OUT
OF THE LIBRARY TWICE.

EMMA AND LYNN BOTH
PURCHASED COPIES LOCALLY.

AND, HEY, A LOT OF
THE SAUCY TEXTS

ARE DIRECT QUOTES
FROM THE BOOK.

I CULLED FROM THEM
THAT HE MET MARY VIA
MESSAGE BOARD,

DONNA AT A COFFEE SHOP,
EMMA AT THE GYM,

AND LYNN, HE MET LYNN
USING A FAKE PROFILE

ON A DISCRETE DATING
WEBSITE FOR MARRIED PEOPLE.

THANKS, GARCIA.

PROFILE?

BASED ON AREA DEMOGRAPHICS,

WE BELIEVE THAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR A PHYSICALLY
FIT WHITE MALE

IN HIS MID THIRTIES
TO EARLY FORTIES.

HE'S A HOMICIDAL DOMINANT
WITH AN INTEREST
IN ROLE PLAY.

WE BELIEVE HIS CHARISMA
HAS ALLOWED HIM

TO LATCH ON TO WOMEN
WHO ARE INTERESTED

IN A POPULAR EROTIC
ROMANCE NOVEL CALLED
"BARE REFLECTIONS."

MORGAN: IN IT,
A SHELTERED FEMALE TEACHER

FALLS FOR A HANDSOME MOGUL
WITH A DARK PAST

WHO FORCES HER
INTO A SUBMISSIVE ROLE.

JJ: DESPITE
HER INITIAL WORRIES,

AMBER STONE FINDS SHE
CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT
CARSON BARE,

WARTS AND ALL.

WE BELIEVE THE UNSUB
AND HIS VICTIMS

ARE CONSENSUALLY RECREATING
A SCENARIO FROM THIS BOOK.

IN THAT SCENE,
CARSON INTRODUCES
AMBER TO BDSM

BY BINDING HER
TO A BED AS THEY
HAVE ROUGH SEX.

THE UNSUB USES
THIS ROLE PLAY TO GET
HIS VICTIMS

INTO A VULNERABLE POSITION

BEFORE HIS OWN FANTASY
TAKES HOLD.

THIS HAS PROVIDED THE UNSUB
WITH A VICTIM POOL

WHO HAVE DROPPED
THEIR GUARD.

HIS FIRST VICTIMS
WERE SINGLE,

BUT HIS LAST TWO
WERE MARRIED.

THIS ESCALATION
INDICATES THAT HE MAY
BE MARRIED HIMSELF

AND PROBABLY HAS
A FAMILY.

[BABY CRIES]

THIS UNSUB'S M.O.
TAKES PATIENCE
AND CAUTION

AND IS FIRMLY ROOTED
IN A NEED-BASED
DESIRE,

WHICH MEANS
HE WON'T BE STOPPING
ANYTIME SOON.

THANK YOU.

[PHONE BEEPS]

MEG, YOU DESERVE
WHATEVER REACTION,

BUT HURTING YOURSELF,
IT'S NOT OK.

BUT GROUNDING ME
FOR A MONTH

ON TOP OF TAKING
MY PHONE AWAY IS OK?

SINCE WHEN DID THIS
HOUSE TURN INTO SOME
SORT OF A GULAG?

AHEM. I KNOW THAT THIS
IS A HUGE ADJUSTMENT.

DO YOU?
YEAH, OF COURSE I DO.

AND IT'S TAKEN US ALL
BY SURPRISE,

BUT IT'S A GOOD THING.

WE'RE CHANGING OUR DYNAMIC,
BUT NO ONE'S GOING ANYWHERE.

NOTHING THAT'S HAPPENED
TO YOU HAS BEEN FAIR.

AND I KNOW THAT.

BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU
ARE THE GREATEST THING

AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE
AN AMAZING BIG SISTER.

AN ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY
IS NOT A REPLACEMENT.

OK?

I HAVE TO GO.

MEG--
[PHONE BEEPS]

[PHONE BEEPS]

HEY, UH, CHRIS,
I DON'T THINK THAT MEG
IS HEARING ME,

SO WE'RE GONNA NEED
A BETTER PLAN.

I'M JUST NEVER
GONNA GET IT.

SECOND ORDER DERIVATIVES
AGAIN?

YOU WANT HELP,
COME BY LATER.

I'LL BE UP STUDYING
FOR THE BAR.

COOL.

HEY, SWEETS.
HI, DAD.

[CHUCKLES]

TELL STACEY I LEFT
MY COPY OF
"BARE REFLECTIONS"

ON THE KITCHEN
COUNTER FOR HER.

SO, HOW'S, UH,
HOW'S THE STUDYING?

GOING PRETTY WELL.

YOU'LL MAKE
A GREAT LAWYER.

THANKS.

IT'S A LITTLE SAD,
TOO.

I MEAN, YOU GUYS
HAVE TREATED ME
LIKE FAMILY.

OH, WE REALLY APPRECIATE
ALL THE EXTRA TIME LATELY.

NO PROBLEM.
I REALLY LIKE IT.

IT'S NICE TO BE PART
OF SOMETHING.

IT'S GREAT.

THE GIRLS HAVE TWO STRONG
FEMALE ROLE MODELS.

THEY'VE CERTAINLY
GOT WORK ETHIC

AND DEDICATION
FROM THEIR DAD.

ME? [LAUGHS]
I DON'T WORK THAT HARD.

I PRACTICALLY SLEEP
THROUGH CLASS,

BUT, HEY, DON'T TELL STACE.

HAVE A GREAT RUN.

NICE WEATHER FOR IT.

MMM.

[MUMBLING]

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE
MENTION OF EROTIC
ASPHYXIATION ANYWHERE.

IT'S THE UNSUB'S FETISH,
THEN.

HE'S A CHARMER THAT KNOWS
THAT SOME PEOPLE LOSE
THEMSELVES IN THE MOMENT

AND OTHERS STOP AT NOTHING
TO PLEASE THEIR PARTNERS.

SOMEHOW HE MAKES HIS
VICTIMS FEEL SAFE ENOUGH

TO ABANDON
THEIR HARD LIMIT.

WHAT'S A HARD LIMIT?

IT'S A COMMON
BDSM PRACTICE.

HARD LIMITS ARE ANYTHING
THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC NO-GO.

IT DIFFERS BY PERSON
AND TASTE.

A DISMISSIVE HESITATES
OR PLACES STRICT
CONDITIONS ON.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT WORLD
HAD SO MANY REGULATIONS.

WHERE DOES HE FIND
SOMEBODY LIKE-MINDED?

CARSON BARE TAKES
AMBER TO A EVENT
CALLED A MUNCH.

WHICH IS?

ACCORDING TO
THE BOOK, IT'S
A SOCIAL GATHERING

FOR PEOPLE
INTERESTED IN BDSM.

WHERE THE HECK
DO YOU FIND THAT?

WE SHOULD CALL
GARCIA.

I FOUND ONE.

I'M SORRY,
BUT I'VE NEVER
SEEN THEM.

WELL, WHAT TYPE OF WOMEN
DO YOU SEE MOST?

HIGH-POWERED
PROFESSIONALS.

AFTER BARKING
ORDERS ALL DAY,

THEY NEED
A SUBMISSIVE OUTLET.

AND HOW HAS
"BARE REFLECTIONS"
INFLUENCED THE SCENE?

BY COMPLETELY
RUINING IT.

INTEREST IN
THE MUNCH I HOST
HAS GONE UP.

WAIT, THAT'S A GOOD
THING, ISN'T IT?

IT'S AMATEUR HOUR.

THEY FLAUNT
THEIR RED SCARVES

AND THEY ACT LIKE
CARSON BARE IS REAL.

MY GROUP
IS A SAFE HAVEN
FOR TRUE DIALOGUE.

AND INSTEAD, YOU SEE
DESPERATE SOCCER MOMS

LOOKING TO IMPRESS
THEIR FRIENDS.

EXACTLY.

THEY'VE TAKEN OVER.

THEY ACT ALL RISQUé,
BUT THEY REALLY AREN'T.

AND THEY IGNORE OUR RULES.

'CAUSE DESPITE
ITS POPULAR IMAGE

AS DARK AND ORGIASTIC,

BDSM PLAY HAS
COMPLEX RITUALS, ROLES

AND DYNAMICS THAT
FRAME THE EXPERIENCE.
AM I RIGHT?

YES.

WE FEEL THE KEY INGREDIENTS
OF GOOD BDSM PLAY--

COMMUNICATION,
RESPECT, TRUST--

RESULT IN THE SAME CONNECTION
TO BODY AND SELF

FOUND IN POSITIVE
TRADITIONAL SEX.

SO THE END RESULT
IS LIKE YOGA. SORT OF.

HAS ANYONE COME IN
WANTING TO DISCUSS

BREATH PLAY?
NO.

THAT TOPIC'S FORBIDDEN,
AND ANY ATTEMPT GETS
A LIFETIME BAN.

WELL, IF YOU
HEAR SOMETHING,
PLEASE LET US KNOW.

I WILL.

WHAT? I DABBLED
MY SENIOR YEAR.

AH, COLLEGE.

AH, HIGH SCHOOL.

[GROANS]

A GROUP LIKE
THIS SHOULD
HAVE BEEN A HAVEN

FOR THE UNSUB'S
RECRUITMENT,
BUT IT WASN'T.

HEY, ARE YOU OK?

[CHUCKLES] SORRY.
I JUST CAN'T SHAKE THE IDEA

OF NO HIGH-RISK VICTIMS.
I MEAN, YOU MUST HAVE, RIGHT?

GARCIA CHECKED
THE MADISON AREA
AND FOUND NOTHING.

SO, WHAT IF THE VICTIMS
WERE ALL OUTSIDE
THE MADISON AREA?

[MUSIC PLAYING
IN HEADPHONES]

[GASPS]

[CELL PHONE RINGS]
[GASPS]

[RING]

HEY, YOU'RE ALMOST HERE?

PERFECT.
YEAH, I'M READY.

COOL, SEE YOU SOON.

CONNIE: DAD?

[ENGINE STARTS]

LOOKING FOR PAST
HIGH-RISK VICTIMS
OUTSIDE OF MADISON

IS COMPLETELY INGENIOUS,
BECAUSE NOW WE'RE
GETTING SOMEWHERE.

BUT DON'T WORRY,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO FOOL ME TWICE,

BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO GET YOU!

HOTCH: GARCIA.
SORRY, SIR.

I'M JUST,
I'M SUPER PUMPED

BECAUSE I'VE USED
MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL

BAD-ASSERY-NESS TO BUST
A MOVE THROUGH LAYERS

OF LOCAL LEGAL BUREAUCRACY,

AND I HAVE LEARNED
THAT SARAH YOUNG,

A STREET PROSTITUTE
IN ST. PAUL--SAY THAT
FIVE TIMES FAST--

WAS MURDERED LAST YEAR.

AND I BET SHE WAS
STRANGLED DURING
A RENDEZVOUS.

TWO OTHER PROSTITUTES,
BOTH STRANGLED WITH NYLON ROPE,

TURNED UP 8 AND 15 YEARS AGO.

ONE IN IOWA CITY,
THE OTHER IN RURAL ILLINOIS.

HE KNEW CROSSING
STATE LINES WOULD
MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT

THAT'S A VERY DIFFERENT
COOLING OFF PERIOD.

I WONDER WHAT
WAS SO SPECIAL
ABOUT THOSE DATES.

FIRST KILLS WERE IN 2000,

2007,

AND THEN HE WENT DORMANT
UNTIL LAST YEAR.

WHAT TRIGGERS HIM?

DEATHS IN THE FAMILY?
HE COULD KEEP LOSING JOBS.

THESE ARE SEX CRIMES,
SO WHAT INTERFERES
WITH SEX DRIVE?

CHILDREN.
THE ADDITION
OF A CHILD

WOULD DISRUPT
EVEN THE HAPPIEST
OF COUPLES.

WHAT IF EACH OF THESE KILLS
CORRESPONDS TO THE BIRTHS
OF THE UNSUB'S OWN CHILDREN?

GARCIA, HOW MANY MEN
IN THE HUNTING ZONE
HAD A CHILD IN 2000?

MOM, WHERE'S DAD?

STUDY GROUP.
WHY, WHAT'S UP?

UH, NOTHING,
I WAS JUST...

THINKING ABOUT
CHARLOTTE. [SIGHS]

UH-HUH.

I MEAN, I THINK SHE...

[WASHING DISH]

I FORGOT
MY CALCULUS BOOK
AT CHARLOTTE'S

THE OTHER NIGHT.

I NEED IT TO FINISH
MY HOMEWORK FOR MONDAY.

UH-HUH.

GOD, MOM, DO YOU
EVER LISTEN TO ME?

[SIGHS]

IN 2000, 16 AREA MEN,
CAUCASIAN IN THAT AGE RANGE,

HAD THEIR FIRST CHILD,
AND BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT

THE FOLLOW UP QUESTION
IS GOING TO BE,

FIVE OF THEM HAD
THEIR SECOND CHILD
8 YEARS AGO.

AND AGAIN LAST YEAR?

HMM...TWO LUCKY FELLAS.

WERE EITHER ONE
OF THEM BUSTED

FOR SOMETHING LIKE
PEEPING OR EXPOSURE?

YES AND NO. THERE'S
A PATRICK JOHN MURPHY,

HE'S A PHYSICAL THERAPIST.
HERE'S THE THING--

HE WAS NEVER ACTUALLY ARRESTED.

I DO HAVE SOME SEALED
FAMILY COURT DOCS, THOUGH,

THAT I'M ABOUT
TO UNSEAL AND LEARN...

[GASPS] OH, WHEN HE WAS 12,

HE WITNESSED HIS NEIGHBOR
STRANGLE HIS WIFE TO DEATH

IN A SEX GAME GONE BAD.

EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ONLY
A WITNESS, THAT MOMENT

CREATED A SINGLE EVENT
IMPRINT ON HIS LOVE MAP

AND PROBABLY STARTED HIS
INTEREST IN LOVE PLAY.

IS HIS WIFE
INTERESTED IN BDSM?

UH, NO, IT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE IT.

THE MURPHYS HAVE BEEN
IN AND OUT OF COUPLES
THERAPY FOR YEARS.

TO INTERMITTENT PERIODS
OF FRUSTRATION THEN BLISS
SURROUNDING THE MURDERS.

AND HIS URGES INCREASE
DURING PERIODS
OF NON-INTIMACY.

IF THE UNSUB'S
TRIGGER WAS
THE BIRTH OF HIS KIDS,

WHY CHANGE
THE VICTIMOLOGY

AND ACCELERATE
THE KILLS NOW?

I THINK THE GUILT HE'S FELT
HAS BEEN ALLEVIATED
BY "BARE REFLECTIONS"

AND THE INTENSE
FEMALE INTEREST IN IT

HAS JUSTIFIED HIS IMPULSES.

HOTCH: GARCIA,
WE NEED ADDRESSES.

GARCIA:
OF COURSE, I JUST
SENT THEM TO YOU.

[BEEPING]

FBI!
[GASPS]

STACY MURPHY,
WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND?

I COULD HAVE BROUGHT OVER
CONNIE'S BOOKS SOMETIME
THIS WEEKEND.

IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
I WAS IN THE AREA.

DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

BUT IT'S MY JOB
TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

IS YOUR INNER
TIGRESS WORRIED,

OR IS SHE READY
FOR YOU TO BE FREE?

DID YOU JUST QUOTE
THAT LAME ASS
"BARE REFLECTIONS?"

ADMIT IT.

THAT BOOK GOT YOU
ALL WORKED UP.

I KNOW IT DID.

[GASPS] I THINK
YOU SHOULD GO.

FOR THE SAKE OF STACY
AND THE GIRLS,

I'LL PRETEND
THIS NEVER HAPPENED.

[GASPING]

[YELLING]

PATRICK IS A GREAT DAD.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT--

HAS HE EVER MENTIONED
THE BOOK "BARE REFLECTIONS?"

I JUST BORROWED
A COPY FROM
OUR NANNY.

BUT WHAT DOES
THAT HAVE--

WHERE IS SHE NOW?

AT HOME STUDYING.

WHAT DOES
CHARLOTTE--

MRS. MURPHY,
WE NEED HER ADDRESS.

PATRICK COULD BE...

OH, GOD!

NO, PLEASE! PLEASE,
DON'T, PATRICK!
DON'T DO THIS!

NO!

[PATRICK GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

AAH! NO!

[SOBBING]

[PATRICK UNZIPPING PANTS]

[YELLING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[MUFFLED GROANING]

NO, NO!

[MUFFLED GROANING]

CHARLOTTE?

[MUFFLED GROANING]

CHARLOTTE?

[MUFFLED GROANING]

[CONNIE GASPS]

CONNIE!

SWEETS...

LISTEN...

[CHARLOTTE GROANING]

[GASPING]

RUN!

CONNIE!
[GASPING]

[SIRENS]

[BOTH GASPING]

SWEETS.

[SIRENS]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

YOU TWO TAKE
THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE,
I'M GOING AROUND BACK.

STOP! FBI!

[SOBBING]

[GRUNTING AND GROANING]

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED AGAINST
YOU IN A COURT OF LAW.

[NO AUDIO]

SO HOW ARE THINGS
WITH MAGGIE?

I DON'T KNOW. HOPEFULLY
SHE'LL STILL BE AWAKE.

I JUST DON'T WANT HER
TO FEEL ABANDONED.

COME ON,
BY YOU? NO WAY.

WELL. A YEAR AGO,
I WOULD HAVE AGREED
WITH YOU, BUT SHE'S...

SHE'S 13, CALLAHAN.

AH, YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
[LAUGHS]

WELL, LISTEN,
IF ANYBODY CAN
GET THROUGH TO HER,

IT'S YOU.

CALLAHAN: "CHILDREN
ARE LIKE WET CEMENT.

WHATEVER FALLS ON THEM
MAKES AN IMPRESSION."
