Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 10, Episode 9 - Fate - full transcript

Woman: JESSICA, CHILL.
YOU'RE ALWAYS LIKE THIS.

IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.
JUST CALM DOWN.

DON'T TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN!

A $5.00 TIP ON A $100
SERVICE IS RUDE.

I AM SICK OF THESE
PEOPLE STIFFING ME.

YESTERDAY SOME GUY
GAVE ME A $6.00 TIP.

THE DAY BEFORE THAT, $2.00.

SHE'S LUCKY I DIDN'T
SOCK HER IN THE FACE.

OH, JESSICA...

[BELL JINGLING]

HEY, UH, LET ME
CALL YOU BACK.



WE'RE--WE'RE CLOSED.

HELLO?

[DOOR CREAKS]

[CLATTERING]

H-HELLO?

[WHIRRING SOUND]

[HAIR DRYER BLOWING]

AAH!

[ROCK SONG PLAYING]

♪ THEY'RE PLAYING
SOME MUSIC I LOVE ♪

♪ SOMEHOW I CAN'T GET
MY MIND OFF OF YOU ♪

♪ 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
I'M THINKING OF... ♪

THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.



YOU BET.

THANKS.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

LET ME CALL YOU BACK.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
NEED THIS.

YESTERDAY WHEN I SAW
THAT YOU WERE FOLLOWING ME,

I THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE
A COINCIDENCE,

BUT BY TODAY, MM,
PROBABLY NOT.

IT'S A LONG STORY.

WELL, I'M A WRITER.
I HATE THE SHORT ONES.

SO WHAT ARE YOU, A P.I.?

YEAH, YOU CAN CALL
ME THAT, SURE.

I CAN'T SAY.
MY CLIENT'S VERY SECRETIVE.

WELL, YOU CAN'T BE
WITH THE IRS.

MY ACCOUNTANT
WOULD HAVE CALLED.

CAN'T BE WITH
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

THAN TO LEAVE HER TARGET'S
DOSSIER ON THE FRONT SEAT.

AND I DON'T YOU DON'T
WORK FOR MY CIGAR GUY

BECAUSE HE MAKES
ALL OF HIS DELIVERIES
STRAIGHT TO MY DOOR.

THEY SHOULD GET OUT
OF THEIR SANDBOX
AND CALL ME THEMSELVES.

NOW, MOST PEOPLE WOULD
ASK FOR THE COFFEE BACK.

BUT, BEING A GENTLEMAN,

C'EST LA VIE.

OH, AND, UH, GET
YOURSELF AND EARPIECE.

THOSE THINGS WILL
GIVE YOU BRAIN CANCER.

3 BODIES HAVE BEEN FOUND
IN RESTON, VIRGINIA,

EACH VIOLENTLY STABBED,
THEN POSED,

THE FIRST TWO, KEVIN BROWN
AND RICK MENDOZA,

WERE MURDERED IN THEIR HOMES.
THE THIRD ONE, JESSICA RANDALL,

WAS KILLED IN HER
HAIR SALON LAST NIGHT.

BOLD AND BRUTAL.
SO WHAT DID THE FIRST
TWO VICTIMS DO?

KEVIN WORKED
AT A HARDWARE STORE.
RICK WAS AN AUTO MECHANIC.

MAYBE THE UNSUB'S
A CUSTOMER.

WE SHOULD CHECK
APPOINTMENT LOGS.

Garcia: ALREADY DID THAT.

WELL, GENDER
ISN'T A FACTOR.

THEY COULD ALL BE VICTIMS
OF OPPORTUNITY.

DID THEY LIVE NEAR
EACH OTHER?

WASHINGTON FIELD ISN'T SURE
THE UNSUB GOT INTO THE SALON.

IT'S HIGH RISK.
MAYBE WE'RE LOOKING
AT A DRUG ADDICT?

BUT NOTHING WAS STOLEN.
AND HE TOOK THE TIME
TO RE-DRESS THE VICTIMS.

STRANGE. THE UNSUB STABBED
THE VICTIMS IN THEIR
ORIGINAL CLOTHING

AND THEN FOUND CLEAN ONES
TO PUT THEM IN.

YEAH, THEY FIT WELL.
MAYBE HE BROUGHT
THE NEW ONES WITH HIM.

SO THE UNSUB TOOK THE CLOTHES
THE VICTIMS WERE WEARING
AS TROPHIES.

THEY WEREN'T FOUND
ON THE SCENE.
IT COULD BE A RITUAL.

OR OUR UNSUB GETS
HIGH ON THE KILL,

THEN COMES DOWN,
FEELS REMORSE.

THE TIME BETWEEN KILLS
IS DECREASING,

SUGGESTING
THE UNSUB'S EMBOLDENED

THEN THE AFTER EFFECTS
OF THE KILLING WOULD EITHER
EXACERBATE HIS GUILT

OR CAUSE HIM TO STRIKE OUT
AGAIN SOON.

IS MOM COMING DOWN?

I THINK SHE WENT
FOR A RUN.

SINCE WHEN DID SHE
BECOME AN ATHLETE?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T THINK
THIS IS ODD?

I DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.

WELL, MAYBE
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

FIRST SHE SNAPS AT US,
NOW SHE'S RUNNING AT 6 A.M.?

SOMETHING'S GOING ON.

YEAH, SHE'S JUST TRYING
TO GET IT TOGETHER.

SHE'S ACTING WEIRD.

EVERYONE'S NOTICING.

WHO'S EVERYONE?
DID YOU TAKE A POLL?

GRANDMA, AUNT SHIRLEY,

EVEN KATHY SAID SOMETHING.

WELL, KATHY GOSSIPS
ABOUT EVERYTHING.

SO, LOOK, JUST
CUT YOUR MOM SOME SLACK, OK?

BESIDES, HER PHYSICAL THERAPIST
RECOMMENDED EXERCISE.

TWICE A DAY?

[DOOR OPENS]
SKY.

ELLEN. I MADE FRENCH TOAST.

OH, FRENCH TOAST?
SOUNDS GOOD.
I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

[FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]

[PANTING]

IT'S OK, IT'S OK, IT'S OK.

IT'S OK.

IT'S OK.

YOU'RE OK.

Rossi: "CHANGE
IS THE LAW OF LIFE.

"AND THOSE WHO LOOK
ONLY TO THE PAST OR PRESENT

ARE CERTAIN
TO MISS THE FUTURE."

JOHN F. KENNEDY.

Hotch: ALL RIGHT, VICTIMOLOGY.
FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL,

THE VICTIMS' LIVES
DIDN'T INTERSECT.

SINCE ONE WORKED
AT A HARDWARE STORE

AND THE OTHERS
AT A BODY SHOP
AND A HAIR SALON,

MAYBE HE'S TARGETING
LOCAL BUSINESSES.

OR OUR UNSUB'S
THE COMMON THREAD.

I CROSS-CHECKED PATRONS.
THERE'S NO OVERLAP.

Morgan: HE MIGHT
HAVE PAID CASH.

WE SHOULD CHECK
SECURITY FOOTAGE.

THERE'S NO OBVIOUS VULNERABILITY
OR DESIRABILITY COMPONENT

TO THE UNSUB'S SELECTION
CRITERIA.

BUT THE BRUTALITY
WAS THE SAME.

OVER A DOZEN STAB WOUNDS
IN EACH VICTIM.

THERE'S DEFINITELY
OVERKILL AND RAGE.

WELL, THERE WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN TIME
BETWEEN THE KILLS

FOR PLANNING
OR SURVEILLANCE.

MAYBE OUR UNSUB
KNEW THE VICTIMS

THERE'LL BE A WASHINGTON
FIELD AGENT TO MEET YOU
WHEN YOU ARRIVE.

I'M PICTURING TEMPERED
INLAID GLASS
ON EVERY FLOOR,

WHICH WILL CREATE
A GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

MODERATE CLIMATES
THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.

EXACTLY. SAVING MILLIONS
IN ENERGY COSTS.

SO WE'LL BE GREEN.

WE'LL EVEN THROWN IN
HEAT-SENSING FLOORS

WHICH ARE REGULATED
BY BODY TEMPERATURE.

OH, I LOVE IT.
YOU DID AMAZING WORK.

I CAN'T TAKE
ALL THE CREDIT.

IT'S THAT CORNELL EDUCATION
KICKING IN. [LAUGHS]

WE'LL SEND FINAL JPEGS FRIDAY,
AND IF YOU APPROVE,

WE CAN BE BREAKING GROUND
BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

LET'S DO THIS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB.

THANK YOU.

WHAT WAS THAT?

A SLAM DUNK.

YOU TOOK MY IDEA!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THAT WAS THE TEAM'S IDEA.

THE LEAST YOU COULD HAVE
DONE WAS GIVE ME CREDIT.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE
HAVING AN EPIPHANY

AND EVERYONE KNOWS
YOU'RE IN YOUR OFFICE

MAKING DINNER PLANS.

ELLEN, MY JOB
IS TO MANAGE.

SOMETIMES I REMEMBER
WHO SAYS WHAT

AND SOMETIMES I DON'T.

WHAT I DO REMEMBER,
HOWEVER,

IS COVERING FOR YOU
FOR 6 MONTHS

WHEN YOU WERE OUT
FROM YOUR ACCIDENT.

SURE IT DOES.
I WROTE YOUR REPORTS,
I FINISHED YOUR DESIGNS.

OH, I WON'T.
I'LL JUST MAKE SURE
TO TELL BOB AND SAM

EVERYTHING I DID FOR YOU
WHEN YOU WERE OUT
ON DISABILITY,

EXTENDED 3 WEEKS PAST
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS.

NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I'M GOING TO GO CELEBRATE
OUR TEAM'S WIN,

AND I WOULD LOVE
FOR YOU TO JOIN US,

IF YOU CAN BREAK AWAY
FROM YOUR LITTLE PITY PARTY.

PENELOPE, I NEED YOU
TO GET SOME INTEL.

OH. LIKE NANCY DREW STYLE
OR JASON BOURNE?

I COULD DO LIKE 27% NANCY,
53% JASON, OR--

WELL, WHATEVER YOU THINK
IS APPROPRIATE.
I'M BEING FOLLOWED.

WHAT, LIKE A STALKER?

NO, P.I.
I JUST GOTTA FIND OUT

WHO SHE'S WORKING FOR.

MAYBE SOMEBODY
I PUT AWAY, OR...

SHE COULD BE A CRAZY FAN.

OMG, YOU HAVE A GROUPIE.

YEAH, RIGHT. I'LL SEND YOU
HER LICENSE PLATE.

AND I WILL START
SPELUNKING.

GOODBYE.

P.I.? MAYBE YOU'VE
GOT AN ADMIRER.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED
HOW MUCH YOU CAN
PRINT OUT FROM GOOGLE.

I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING.

YEAH, WELL,
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

THIS IS WHY
I DON'T GET REMARRIED.

I STRUCK OUT 3 TIMES.

I'M BETTER OFF
JUST DOING MY JOB,

WRITING MY BOOKS,
AND LIVING ALONE.

HEY. SSA NORWOOD.

SSA ROSSI.

IT'S KIND OF
A STRANGE SCENE.

THERE'S NO REAL EVIDENCE
OF A BREAK-IN.

LOOKS LIKE OUR UNSUB'S
HIGHLY SKILLED.

STILL FRENZIED.

BODY WAS FOUND HERE?

Kate: BUT IT WAS DRAGGED
FROM OVER THERE.

HE'D PROBABLY BE ABLE
TO LIFT HER COMPLETELY
OFF THE FLOOR.

THIS PERSON COULDN'T,
WHICH SUGGESTS

HE MAY BE
WEAK OR INJURED

SO THE UNSUB AGAIN
PUT HER IN SOMETHING NEW.

THERE ARE NO PERFORATIONS.

SO WHERE'S THE VIC'S
ORIGINAL CLOTHES?

SEEMS LIKE A LOT
OF EFFORT TO EXPEND
FOR TROPHIES.

BINGO.

SO THE UNSUB CLEANED THEM.

PROBABLY WASHED THE OTHER
VICTIMS' STUFF AS WELL.

WASHING COULD BE
A FORENSIC
COUNTERMEASURE.

A MALE OFFENDER
WOULD HAVE DESTROYED
THE CLOTHES.

OUR UNSUB'S A WOMAN.

LET'S GET CSI TO SWEEP
ALL THE OTHER LINT FILTERS

FOR TRACE EVIDENCE
OF THE KILLER.

Hotch: SO JESSICA CALLED YOU
FROM THE SALON LAST NIGHT?

YEAH. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

AND HOW WAS YOUR
CONVERSATION?

DID ANYTHING SEEM
OUT OF THE ORDINARY?

NO. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE
OF A LITTLE ARGUMENT,

BUT JESSICA AND I
ALWAYS ARGUED.

WHAT WAS
YESTERDAY'S ABOUT?

AND WANTED ME TO SAY
SHE WAS JUSTIFIED.

WAS SHE AFRAID THAT
THE CLIENT WOULD RETALIATE?

NO. CUSTOMERS STIFFED HER
ALL THE TIME.

JESSICA HAD A TENDENCY
TO GO SCORCHED EARTH

WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE
JUST STAYED QUIET.

AND HOW DID SHE END
THE CONVERSATION?

IT WAS QUICK.

BUT THAT WAS NORMAL, TOO.

IT'S JUST USUALLY
SHE'D CALL ME BACK

AND...SHE DIDN'T.

I'M SORRY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

VICTIM NUMBER TWO,
RICK MENDOZA,

AND JESSICA HAD THE SAME
SORT OF REPUTATION
AT THE SALON.

SINCE ALL OF OUR VICTIMS
ARE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY,

MAYBE OUR UNSUB INTERFACED
WITH THEM AND HAD
BAD INTERACTIONS.

I'LL HAVE GARCIA
LOOK AT JESSICA'S CLIENTS.
MAYBE SOMEBODY RETALIATED.

Morgan: THE WOUNDS
ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
THIS OFFENDER HAD PATIENCE.

ROSSI AND KATE THINK
WE MIGHT BE LOOKING
FOR A FEMALE KILLER.

THE UNSUB WASHED
THE VICTIMS' CLOTHES
AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, THIS MIGHT
ALL FALL UNDER THE UMBRELLA
OF "ONE NEAT ASPECT."

I'VE HEARD OF THAT.
IN THE MIDST OF
A CHAOTIC CRIME SCENE,

ONE THING GETS
SPECIAL ATTENTION

TO CLEANING THE VICTIM,
INCLUDING WASHING THEIR
BODIES OR THEIR CLOTHES.

IT'S POSSIBLE OUR UNSUB
WAS RECENTLY RELEASED
FROM AN INSTITUTION

YEAH. WE SHOULD CHECK
LONG-TERM MENTAL
FACILITIES AND PRISONS,

EVEN RECENTLY DISCHARGED
MILITARY PERSONNEL.

I PULLED IF OFF
THE VIC'S SMOCK.

SO IT EITHER BELONGS
TO A CLIENT FROM EARLIER

OR IT COULD POSSIBLY
BE OUR UNSUB'S.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE BAU.

NOT ABOUT THE CASE,
BUT I FOUND SOMETHING
MYSTERIOUS.

I RAN THAT LICENSE
OF THE CAR

OF THE WOMAN
THAT'S FOLLOWING YOU.

IT TURNS OUT IT'S A RENTAL,

AND SHE IS FAR FROM A P.I.

SHE'S ACTUALLY
A TV CRIME REPORTER

IN SAN FRANCISCO.
HER NAME IS JOY STRUTHERS.

WAIT. CRIME REPORTER?

YEAH. AND SHE WRITES
HER OWN BLOG,

AND LAST YEAR
SHE SELF-PUBLISHED A NOVEL

ABOUT THE ZODIAC KILLER.

STOP. I'VE HEARD ENOUGH.

I THINK SHE'S A FAN GIRL.

IS THAT ANOTHER NAME
FOR CRAZY PERSON?

IT'S A PSYCHO FAN WHO
THINKS I'M COMIC-CON.

ROSSI, I THINK SHE JUST WANTS
A BLURB FOR HER NEXT BOOK.

WHICH SHE NEEDS,
BECAUSE THE LAST ONE
ONLY SOLD 385 COPIES.

387. I BOUGHT TWO
'CAUSE I FELT BAD.

YOU CAN'T DISS A GIRL
FOR TRYING.

OH, YES, I CAN.

THANK YOU, PENELOPE.

SO, YOU GOT A SYCOPHANT
WHO WANTS A MENTOR.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
IT'S NOT ONE OF YOUR EXES
LOOKING FOR MORE MONEY.

NO, IT'S A WEIRDO
LOOKING FOR TUTELAGE.

THE WOMAN LEFT
HER MANUSCRIPT
ALL OVER MY HOUSE.

WAIT. SHE BROKE IN?

WELL, WHERE IS SHE NOW?

SHE'S DOING 5 TO 10.

OOH. CLASSY.

LOTS OF LONG BROWN HAIRS
IN THE DRYER. THEY DON'T
MATCH THE VICTIM.

MAYBE THE UNSUB'S
LOSING IT.

OR OUR VICTIMS
YANKED IT OUT

CLEARLY, SHE NOT
FORENSICALLY SOPHISTICATED.

WE MIGHT GET AN I.D.
OR AT LEAST ETHNICITY
AND AN AGE RANGE.

WE HAD GARCIA CHECK OUT
PEOPLE IN REGIMENTED
INSTITUTIONS,

DID SHE CHECK OUT D.C.,
MARYLAND, AND VIRGINIA?

WASHINGTON FIELD
FOUND THE CLOTHES

OUR FIRST TWO VICTIMS,
WERE STABBED IN

NEATLY FOLDED UP
IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CLOSETS.

WE SHOULD KEEP SEARCHING.
CLEARLY HER DESIRE TO KILL
IS UNABATED.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

YES, YOU DO.
YOU HATE HER.

YOU HATE HER.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

ELLEN.

YEAH.

WHERE ARE YOU?

I NEED TO SEE MY BOSS.

NOW?

AND, UM, SHE NEEDS
TO GO OVER
SOME STUFF WITH ME.

THIS COULDN'T WAIT
TILL MORNING?

NO, WE GOTTA DO IT
RIGHT NOW.

I THOUGHT THE PRESENTATION
WAS OVER.

YEAH, IT IS.
WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE,

AND SHE--SHE REALLY
NEEDS MY IDEAS.

WHERE ARE YOU MEETING HER?

A BAR--A BAR.

MICHAEL, I'LL SEE YOU
WHEN I GET HOME.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER.

SHE THOUGHT I TOOK HER IDEA.

ISN'T SHE THE ONE
THAT DOES NOTHING?

I SPEND HALF OF MY TIME
REWORKING HER GENERIC CRAP.

I TALKED TO BOB AND SAM
ABOUT IT. THEY SAID
START DOCUMENTING.

SHE'S JUST A JEALOUS BITCH.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED?

YOU NEED TO RELAX.

HOW ABOUT SOME WINE?

AND THEN MAYBE A BACK RUB?

COOL.

BUT FIRST...

GET INTO SOMETHING
MORE COMFORTABLE.

OK.

YEAH.

♪ LOVE, I'M TRYING ♪

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
♪ TO GET CLOSER TO YOU ♪

♪ I'M TRYING TO GET... ♪

GREG, I'M READY.

[SONG CONTINUES]

♪ BABY, ME, OH, MY ♪

OH...

I GET IT.

BE MORE SPONTANEOUS, SARAH.

OK.

WE'LL DO IT
IN THE KITCHEN, THEN.

GREG!

OH, MY GOD!

OHH...AAH...

[GASPING]

AAH!

PLEASE...PLEASE...

NO!

OH! OH! OH, GOD!

UHH!

PLEASE!

PLEASE DON'T!

NO, ELLEN!

DID YOU TAKE MY IDEA?

YES, I DID.
I'M SO SORRY.

YES, YES! I STOLE
YOUR IDEA AND I'M SORRY!

I'M SORRY I TOOK
YOUR IDEAS.

NO, NO! NO, ELLEN!

ELLEN! OH--

OHH...

[GASPING]

[SONG CONTINUES
IN BACKGROUND]

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

[BREATHING HARD]

[LINE RINGING]

911. WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?

911, WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?

[SIREN]

GOOD MORNING, HONEY.

HOW DID IT GO
WITH YOUR BOSS?

SHE REALLY LOVED
MY STUFF.

THAT'S GOOD, HONEY.

OH.

WE CHECKED THE HOUSE.
NO SIGN OF A BREAK-IN.

THE HOUSEKEEPER DISCOVERED
THE BODIES AROUND 8 A.M.

LOCAL P.D. ALSO HAS A RECORD

OF A HANG-UP 911 PHONE CALL
LAST NIGHT.

BUT THEY WERE SO SWAMPED
THEY DIDN'T SEND OUT
A PATROL CAR.

DID YOU FIND
THE VICTIM'S
OLD CLOTHES?

WHEREAS THE BOYFRIEND'S
WAS LEFT BLOODY
IN THE KITCHEN.

SO SARAH'S
THE INTENDED VICTIM,

WHICH MEANS THE KILLS
ARE TARGETED.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE UNSUB
HAD A SPECIFIC INTERACTION
WITH EACH VICTIM.

IS THAT MORE HAIR?

THANK YOU.

HMM. THIS TIME THEY WERE
PULLED FROM THE ROOT.

IT WAS OVER HERE,
SO IT PROBABLY DIDN'T
HAPPEN DURING THE STRUGGLE.

WHAT IF THE UNSUB'S
PULLING HER OWN HAIR OUT.

WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?

BECAUSE SHE HAS TO.

WE SHOULD DELIVER
THE PROFILE.

WE BELIEVE THE UNSUB
WE'RE LOOKING FOR
IS A CAUCASIAN WOMEN

WE THINK THAT SHE'S
SUFFERING FROM WHAT WE CALL

INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER.

THIS DISORDER USUALLY OCCURS
AFTER A TRAUMATIC EVENT.

IT INVOLVES REPEATED
ACTS OF IMPULSIVE

AND AGGRESSIVELY
VIOLENT BEHAVIOR.

IT INVOLVES ANGRY
OUTBURSTS WHERE
THE SUFFERER REACTS

IN DISPROPORTION
TO THE SITUATION.

IN THIS CASE, THE UNSUB
LETS HER ANGER FESTER,

THEN LATER LASHES OUT.
WE BELIEVE SHE HAD
PRIOR CONFRONTATIONS

WITH ALL THE VICTIMS.

AFTER SHE KILLS
OR IS THINKING
ABOUT KILLING,

WE BELIEVE THAT SHE'S
PULLING HER OUT HAIR OUT.

THIS IS CALLED
TRICOTILLOMANIA,

AND IT'S A WAY THAT
SHE RELIEVES STRESS.

BUT BE TRIGGERED BY
EXTERNAL DISPUTES
OR CONFRONTATIONS.

HER ANGER AND REMORSE
WILL MAKE HER FEEL LIKE

AND WE BELIEVE SHE WAS
HOSPITALIZED BECAUSE OF
MENTAL PROBLEMS

BUT SHE STOPPED TAKING
HER MEDICATION
SINCE BEING RELEASED.

AND SINCE SHE'S NO LONGER
IN THE ENVIRONMENT

THAT HELPED HER CONTROL
HER URGES,

SHE'S BEEN TRIGGERED
TO START KILLING.

THAT THESE HOMICIDAL FEELINGS
IN HER WILL SUBSIDE.

WE BELIEVE SHE WILL
CONTINUE TO KILL

AS LONG AS SHE ENCOUNTERS
STRESSORS THAT SET HER OFF.

[MUTED OVERLAPPING VOICES]

[STARTS ENGINE]

MICHAEL, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I NEEDED TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, IT'S GOTTA WAIT.
HONEY, I GOTTA
GO PICK UP MAX

NO, KATHY'S GONNA
TAKE CARE OF THAT.

KATHY? WHY KATHY?

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT
DOING WELL, ELLEN.

I'M FINE.

EVER SINCE THE ACCIDENT,
YOU'VE BEEN ACTING STRANGE.

STAYING OUT LATE,
LEAVING EARLY.

MICHAEL, I HAVE
A TON OF WORK TO DO.

ADD THAT TO WHAT I FOUND
UPSTAIRS, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

WHAT YOU FOUND?

MICHAEL, YOU WENT
THROUGH MY THINGS?

THIS IS YOUR SHIRT.

IT WAS IN THE BACK
OF YOUR CLOSET.

WHAT DID YOU DO, ELLEN?

WHO'S HURTING PEOPLE
AND PULLING OUT HER HAIR?

DID YOU HURT THOSE PEOPLE?

YOU WEREN'T HOME LAST NIGHT.
NOW YOUR BOSS IS DEAD.

NO.
DID YOU HURT HER?

SO THAT'S A COINCIDENCE?

WHAT DID YOU DO?

WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT BRUISE?

I CAN'T HELP YOU UNLESS
YOU'RE HONEST WITH ME.

[QUIETLY] OH, GOD.

OH, MICHAEL.

I KILLED THEM.

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST DID IT.

I TRIED TO STOP
AND I CAN'T.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

LISTEN, WE'RE GONNA
GET YOU HELP.

I'M GONNA BE BY YOUR SIDE.

OH, MICHAEL.

OH, MICHAEL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME.

YOU'RE SICK.

WE'RE GONNA
GET THROUGH THIS.

I'M SORRY.

I KNOW.

WE HAVE TO TELL
THE POLICE.

OH, NO, MICHAEL, NO,
I CAN'T. NO.

THEY NEED TO KNOW
THE TRUTH.

MICHAEL, NO. ARE YOU
LISTENING TO ME? NO!

ARE YOU LISTENING, MICHAEL?!

OH, MY GOD! ELLEN.

UHH!

HELP ME.

OK, COME ON.

GET OUT, OUT, OUT.

[DOOR OPENS]

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!

DAD?

I CAN EXPLAIN.

COME ON, LET'S GO.
LET'S GO!

OK, I KNOW THAT
WE SAID WE WEREN'T
LOOKING FOR AN ADDICT.

WHAT ABOUT SOMEBODY
WHO WAS IN REHAB,

IS NOW OFF DRUGS
AND OUT?

SAME STRUCTURED BEHAVIOR.
SIMILAR ROUTINES

NO, THERE'S NO ONE
WHO FITS THE PROFILE

IN ANY DRUG REHAB CENTER.

CAN YOU CHECK
SURROUNDING AREAS?

FRONTAL LOBE DAMAGE FROM
A HEAD INJURY OF SOME SORT.

THEN MAYBE SHE HAD TO UNDERGO
INPATIENT PHYSICAL THERAPY.

A REHABILITATION PROGRAM
WOULD HAVE EXPOSED HER
TO REGIMENTED BEHAVIOR.

AND THE MOMENT
THAT SHE WAS RELEASED

OR STARTED DRIVING HER CAR,

HER RAGE COULD HAVE BEEN
TRIGGERED.

AND CHECK PHYSICAL REHAB
CENTERS AS WELL.

ON IT.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

NOTHING.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I CAN EXPLAIN.

YOU COME TO MY JOB?

YOU'RE CRAZY.
YOU'RE NOT A P.I.

YOU'RE A REPORTER
TRYING TO BE A NOVELIST.

HOW THE HELL DID YOU
EVEN GET IN HERE?

I GOT A PRESS PASS.

I HAD TO SEE YOU.
PRESS PASS?

LOOK, IF I CATCH YOU
AT MY WORK AGAIN,

YOU'LL BE WRITING AN OPUS
FROM BEHIND BARS.

NO, PLEASE
DON'T DO THIS.

PLEASE.
ESCORT HER OUT OF HERE.

OUT.

I'M YOUR DAUGHTER!

I HAVE CHECKED ALL
LOCAL REHAB FACILITIES

FOR RECENTLY RELEASED
PATIENTS THAT FIT THE PROFILE.

AND WHAT ABOUT PRIVATE
OR HMO-RUN PHYSICAL
REHAB CENTERS?

WAIT...

A WOMAN NAMED ELLEN CONNELL
WAS IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT

THAT PUT HER IN AN HMO
REHAB CENTER FOR 4 MONTHS.

HER CAR COLLIDED
WITH TWO TEEN GIRLS.

[CRASH]
OHH!

SO BAD THAT SHE HAD
HUNDREDS OF DAYS
OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

DUE TO HEAD INJURIES.
SHE WAS RELEASED
A MONTH AGO,

A WEEK BEFORE
THE FIRST KILLING.

SHE MUST HAVE HAD
FRONTAL LOBE DAMAGE

AND SINCE SHE'S DEVELOPED
I.E.D, SHE'S NO LONGER
ABLE ABLE TO CONTROL

HER BURSTS OF RAGE
AND THE VIOLENCE
THAT FOLLOWS.

SO SHE'S FINE
UNTIL SHE GETS MAD.

SHE REVERTS BACK
TO HER NORMAL BEHAVIOR.

SHE WORKS AT THE SAME
ARCHITECTURAL FIRM
AS HER LATEST VICTIM.

THAT'S HOW SHE WAS ABLE
TO GET IN AND OUT
OF THE CRIME SCENES.

SHE ALSO ORDERED
A BUNCH OF WIGS

FROM THE THIRD VICTIM'S
HAIR SALON.

ALL RIGHT,
SEND THE ADDRESS
TO OUR PHONES.

MY MOM IS HAYDEN MONTGOMERY.

YOU MARRIED HER
IN '84 IN PARIS.

SHE WAS A DIPLOMAT,
YOU WERE ON TEMPORARY
DUTY WITH THE FBI.

HAYDEN WOULD HAVE TOLD ME
IF SHE WAS PREGNANT.

MY STEPDAD TOLD ME
ABOUT YOU

WHEN HE WAS DYING
OF CANCER,

AND IT FORCED MY MOM
TO FINALLY COME CLEAN.

OK, I WAS SCARED.
LOOK, YOU CAN EVEN
CALL MY MOM.

SHE'S STILL IN PARIS.

HEY, ROSSI.
WE GOTTA GO.

WE'LL STRAIGHTEN
THIS OUT LATER.

LEAVE YOUR INFO
AT THE FRONT DESK.

SO WHY WAS SHE HERE?
WHAT DID SHE WANT?

NOTHING.

YOU OK?

YEAH. I'M FINE.

MOM, WHERE ARE WE GOING?

SHUT UP.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

JUST DRIVE.

WE NEED TO GO TO
482 CROW'S NEST LANE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.
JUST MOVE.

[CRYING]

GOT A VICTIM DOWN HERE.

DAVE?

ANYTHING?

ABBY BENSON.
ONE OF THE GIRLS

ELLEN WAS IN
THE ACCIDENT WITH.

GARCIA, WE'RE OUTSIDE
OF ELLEN CONNELL'S OFFICE.

CHECK HER IP ADDRESS
AND SEE IF SHE
WAS TRYING TO REACH

AN ABBY BENSON RECENTLY.

LOOKS LIKE
SHE FOLLOWED HER ON TWITTER

THE MOMENT
SHE GOT OUT OF REHAB.

SHE CHECKS HER INSTAGRAM DAILY.

HOW ABOUT TODAY?

SHE GOOGLED ABBY'S ADDRESS
FROM HER PHONE 10 MINUTES AGO.

IT'S HER ENDGAME.

THANKS, GARCIA.

GET OUT.

MOM, WHAT ARE WE
DOING HERE?

IF WE HURRY, WE CAN DO THIS.

WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS?

WOULD YOU STOP TALKING!

YES. I'M ELLEN CONNELL,
THE ONE YOUR DAUGHTER
HIT WITH HER CAR.

EXCUSE ME?

OH, MY GOD!
[SCREAMING]

MOMMY, PLEASE!

[GASPING]

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THE WOMAN WHOSE LIFE
YOU DESTROYED.

JUST ADMIT
YOU WERE WRONG.

THE ACCIDENT
WAS YOUR FAULT!

I'M THE ONE
IN THE WHEELCHAIR.
YOU HIT ME!

YES, YOU DID.
YOU HIT HER AND YOU
KILLED HER FRIEND.

MOM, SHE'S TELLING
THE TRUTH.

NO. HAD SHE BEEN
PAYING ATTENTION,

NONE OF THIS
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THE GROUND WAS WET.

SHUT UP!
MOM, PLEASE--

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

YOU RUINED MY LIFE.

WASHED IT
INTO THE GUTTER.

I'VE LOST EVERYTHING
BECAUSE OF YOU!

PUT THE KNIFE DOWN!

[GASPING]

GET OUT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL HER.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KILL
ANY OF THEM.

YOUR BRAIN
IS TRICKING YOU, ELLEN.

YOU HAVE FRONTAL LOBE DAMAGE
FROM THE ACCIDENT.

YOUR REASONING IS OFF.

NO. I'M FINE.

YOU'RE NOT FINE,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

IT'S WHY YOU'RE PULLING
YOUR HAIR OUT, ELLEN.

ELLEN, SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER.
LOOK AT HER.

NOW, IT'S NOT TOO LATE
TO FIX THIS.

SHE AND MAX
ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT.

DON'T HURT THEM, TOO.

[CRYING]

THIS ISN'T ME.

WE KNOW THAT, ELLEN.

JUST PUT THE KNIFE DOWN.

[SOBBING] MOM...

I'M SORRY. I'M SO SORRY.

HEY.

I'M JENNIFER.

I AM GOING TO PICK UP
YOUR BROTHER

AND TAKE THE BOTH OF YOU
TO YOUR AUNT'S HOUSE.

THIS IS MY FAULT.

NO. NO, DON'T SAY THAT.

I KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING WRONG.

I SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE.

NO ONE EVER
SEES THIS COMING.

WE'RE GONNA GET
YOUR MOM HELP.

SHE'S GONNA
NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

DO YOU THINK THE JURY
WILL BE SYMPATHETIC?

MAYBE. THERE IS PROOF

THAT THE ACCIDENT
ALTERED HER BRAIN.

EXCUSE ME.

YEAH.

YEAH. THAT'S WHAT
HER CREDIT CARD SAID.
SHE LEFT AN HOUR AGO.

DO YOU KNOW
WHERE SHE WENT?

WELL, CHECK THE AIRPORTS,
TRAIN STATIONS.

OK. OK. UH...

SHE BOUGHT A PLANE TICKET
THAT LEAVES AT 9:54 TONIGHT.

DULLES OR NATIONAL?

GREAT. THANKS.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I NEED A CAR.

OK. IS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT?

[TURNS ON SIREN]

JOY?

WHAT--WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU FLEW ALL THE WAY
OUT HERE TO MEET ME.

I FIGURED YOU HAD
A FEW QUESTIONS.

I KNOW I DO.

AND IF YOUR FIRST
QUESTION IS,

WILL YOU PLEASE JUST
LEAVE ME ALONE,

WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY
WITH HER?

YOUR MOM AND I
HAD A COMPLICATED
RELATIONSHIP.

IT WAS A WHIRLWIND
SUMMER IN PARIS,

AND WHEN IT WAS OVER,
THE REALITY WAS I WAS
MOVING UP IN THE FBI

AND SHE WAS A DIPLOMAT.

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

LOOK, I WANTED TO
TAKE OVER THE WORLD,

AND SHE WAS ALREADY
DOING IT.

SHE WAS MEETING
WITH DIGNITARIES,

TRAVELING
TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

AND I COULDN'T HANDLE IT.

AND INSTEAD OF MANNING UP,

I PUSHED HER AWAY.

I TOLD HERE I WASN'T SURE
I WANTED TO BE MARRIED.

BUT HONESTLY, I J--
I JUST WANTED TO CATCH UP.

YOU WERE THE LOVE
OF HER LIFE.

I DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT.

I KNOW WHAT I SAID
TO YOU EARLIER,

THAT IF YOUR MOM
WAS PREGNANT,

SHE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME.

BUT THE TRUTH IS,
SHE WOULDN'T HAVE
SAID ANYTHING.

I WAS IN NO POSITION
TO HAVE A FAMILY,

AND SHE KNEW IT.

I WAS RUNNING AWAY.

HAD YOU KNOWN,
WOULD YOU HAVE STAYED?

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR
THE DAVID ROSSI
OF 30 YEARS AGO.

I'D LIKE TO THINK
I WOULD HAVE.

BUT--BUT I'M STANDING
HERE RIGHT NOW.

LOOK, CAN YOU JUST STAY
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER?

I'LL PAY FOR
THE CHANGE OF TICKET.

OH, NO, ACTUALLY,
I'VE GOT TO GO.

UM...YOU HAVE A GRANDKID
WHO'S RUNNING A FEVER.

GRANDKID?

YEAH. A 2-YEAR-OLD BOY,
KAI.

[SOBS]

YOU'RE KILLING ME.

AND YOU'D LOVE MY HUSBAND.

HE'S ITALIAN.

LOOK...

IF YOU DON'T MIND
HAVING SOME COMPANY
THIS WEEKEND...

I'D LOVE TO
MEET THEM AND...

GET TO KNOW YOU.

MA'AM, WE'RE ABOUT
TO CLOSE THE DOOR.

YEAH.

YEAH, I'D LIKE THAT.

DAD.
