Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 18 - The Dance of Love - full transcript

MURIEL? I'M BACK.

MURIEL? IT'S ME.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

CAN'T WE AT LEAST
TALK ABOUT IT?

MURIEL!

AAH! SON OF A...

I GAVE AT THE OFFICE.

OH, GOOD,
YOU'RE STILL HERE.

YEAH, IT'S THE BAU, DAVE.

I'VE GOT A PUP TENT AND
K-RATIONS IN THE CLOSET.

WHAT'S UP?



EGGROLL?

UH, I'M GOOD, THANKS.

EMILY, DO YOU THINK I CAN
GET THE NEXT FEW DAYS OFF,

USE SOME
OF MY ANNUAL LEAVE?

WHAT?

DAVID ROSSI, TIME OFF?

I THINK WE'VE ENTERED
A PARALLEL UNIVERSE.

HMM.

OUCH. NOPE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

OK, YOU CAN STOP
THE THEATRICS.

I GOT A CALL THIS EVENING
FROM KRYSTALL.

KRYSTALL WITH
THE "K" AND TWO Ls?

WHOA, WAIT.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

DID I MISS SOMETHING?



UH, SHE WAS ROSSI'S
THIRD EX-WIFE.

SHE WAS A BLACKJACK
DEALER IN LAS VEGAS.

AND OUR LOVE BLOSSOMED

AS SO MANY OF
THE GREAT ONES DO,

OVER A DECK OF CARDS
AND LOTS OF CASINO
COMPED BOOZE.

NOW, WHAT HAPPENED?
THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A LOVE FOR THE AGES.

ONCE WE SOBERED UP, WE HAD
THE MARRIAGE ANNULLED.

WHY DID I NOT KNOW
ABOUT THIS?

YOU KNOW THE RULES.
ALL GOSSIP FUNNELS
THROUGH ME.

OH, WAIT, IT GETS BETTER.

THEY GOT MARRIED
IN ONE OF THOSE

DRIVE-THROUGH
WEDDING CHAPELS, RIGHT?

YEAH. TWO BLOCKS
OFF THE STRIP.

OUR SACRED VOWS
WERE OFFICIATED BY
AN ELVIS IMPERSONATOR,

WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN
DRUNKER THAN WE WERE.

HAVE YOU SEEN
THIS WOMAN SINCE?

BIRTHDAY
AND CHRISTMAS CARDS,
BUT FACE TO FACE, NO.

SHE MOVED TO L.A.,
GOT REMARRIED,
HAD A KID, GOT DIVORCED.

NOW HER DAUGHTER'S
GONNA GET MARRIED

HERE IN D.C.
NEXT WEEK.

WE HOPE TO GET TOGETHER
FOR COFFEE,

BUT IF THAT'S
A NEW CASE COMING IN...

YEAH, THERE IS, AND WE CAN
HANDLE IT WITHOUT YOU.

YOU KEEP THAT COFFEE DATE.
THAT'S AN ORDER.

JUST PROMISE ME ONE THING.

NO SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT TRIPS
TO ATLANTIC CITY.

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GATHER THE TROOPS.

YEAH.

MARRIED BY AN ELVIS
IMPERSONATOR.

I NEED TO STEP UP MY GAME.

MURIEL GOURSE, 47,
OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS,

WAS FOUND DEAD LAST NIGHT,
STABBED ONCE IN THE BACK.

THE NIGHT BEFORE,
24-YEAR-OLD AMANDA CORLISS

WAS DISCOVERED
IN HER APARTMENT.

SHE HAD ALSO
BEEN STABBED IN THE BACK.

SAME RED ROSE IN THE MOUTH.

NO SIGN OF ROBBERY
OR BREAK-INS.

DESPITE THEIR BEING
A LOT OF NEIGHBORS,

NOBODY HEARD A PEEP.

YOU KNOW, ROSES
ARE TRADITIONALLY

A SYMBOL OF PASSION AND LOVE.

THE UNSUB COULD BE CONNECTED
TO THESE VICTIMS ROMANTICALLY.

OR MAYBE HE WANTED TO BE

AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT.

NEITHER VICTIM SHOWED
EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT,

AND THERE IS A DRAMATIC
DIFFERENCE IN AGE
BETWEEN THE TWO VICTIMS.

MURIEL GOURSE'S BODY
WAS DISCOVERED
BY HER HUSBAND.

THERE WAS ALSO
A CARTON OF CIGARETTES

BURNING IN THEIR OVEN.

THAT'S AN UNUSUAL
SIGNATURE.

ANYTHING LIKE THAT
WITH AMANDA?

NO.

IT FEELS LIKE
A MESSAGE, BUT WHAT?

AND TO WHOM?

SO WE'VE GOT
NO FORCIBLE ENTRY,

MINIMAL RESISTANCE,
AND NO CRIES FOR HELP.

I'D SAY THERE'S
A GOOD CHANCE

THESE WOMEN
KNEW THE KILLER.

AND WITH TWO VICTIMS
ON CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS,

WE CAN'T WAIT TILL MORNING.
WHEELS UP IN 30.

♪ I NEVER SEEM TO PLEASE YOU ♪

♪ NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY ♪

♪ WHY PRETEND YOU LOVE ME ♪

♪ WHEN IT'S JUST AN ALIBI? ♪

♪ YOU BETTER CHOOSE
YOUR WAY OF LOVIN' ♪

♪ BEFORE THE WELL RUNS DRY ♪

"PERHAPS WHEN
WE FIND OURSELVES

"WANTING EVERYTHING,
IT IS BECAUSE

WE ARE DANGEROUSLY NEAR
TO WANTING NOTHING."

SYLVIA PLATH.

THE FIRST VICTIM
AMANDA CORLISS

LED A FAIRLY HIGH-RISK
LIFESTYLE... PARTY GIRL,

LOTS OF RECREATIONAL
DRUG USE AND CASUAL SEX.

DID SHE HAVE A JOB,
GARCIA?

UH, DO YOU CONSIDER

STROLLING
TO THE LOCAL ATM A JOB?

IF YOU DO, SHE HAD A JOB.

IF NOT, SHE WAS
A TRUST FUND KID.

HEY, GARCIA, WAS SHE
ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED
WITH ANYONE SPECIAL?

UH, SHE SORT OF BOUNCED
AROUND FROM DUDE TO DUDE.

ON THE OTHER END
OF THE SPECTRUM.

MURIEL GOURSE WAS
A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER,

LIVED QUIETLY
IN THE SUBURBS

WITH HER HUSBAND
OF 23 YEARS.

IT DOESN'T GET MORE
LOW RISK THAN THAT.

IT SAYS HERE THAT
AMANDA'S DRUG USE

WAS PRIMARILY MDMA.

BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME
ANTIDEPRESSANTS IN THE MIX.

SHE HAD UNDERLYING
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

MURIEL'S LIFE WASN'T
ALL THAT IDYLLIC EITHER.

HER AND HER HUSBAND
WERE SEEING A COUNSELOR.

THEIR MARRIAGE
WAS IN TROUBLE.

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S
THE COMMON THREAD,

DISSATISFACTION
WITH THEIR LOVE LIVES.

ONE STAB WOUND
TO THE BACK AND NO SIGN
OF A STRUGGLE.

THE UNSUB PROBABLY BRINGS
A GUN TO HELP CONTROL THEM.

BRINGS A GUN
BUT DOESN'T USE IT.

THIS KILLER PREFERS
A MORE PERSONAL TOUCH.

WE LAND IN
A COUPLE OF HOURS.

LET'S BE READY TO HIT
THE GROUND RUNNING.

HA HA HA!
ARE YOU... NO, REALLY?

I COULD HAVE SWORN
IT WAS "HERE COMES THE BRIDE."

THAT IS YOUR BRAIN
DOING DAMAGE CONTROL.

I AM TELLING YOU, WE
MARCHED DOWN THE AISLE

TO "HOUND DOG."

REALLY?

TRUST ME, DAVID,
I REMEMBER.

THE CASSETTE DECK
WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE

ON THE ALTAR BETWEEN
THE BIBLE AND THE TEQUILA.

WELL, WHATEVER OUR SONG WAS,
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I LIKE THE SILVER
IN YOUR HAIR.

DID I GIVE YOU THAT OR...

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
MY PUBLISHERS

HAVE BEEN BUGGING ME
ABOUT LOOKING

MORE DISTINGUISHED,
SO I DECIDED

TO GO AU NATURAL.

SO PORTIA'S GETTING MARRIED.

YOU MUST BE VERY EXCITED.

YEAH, THAT'S ANOTHER WAY
OF SAYING NERVOUS WRECK.

AND WHO'S
THE LUCKY GROOM?

WICK ROLLINS

FROM SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

HE DOESN'T REALLY
TALK LIKE THAT.

SWEETHEART OF A GUY.

AND SHE'S... PORTIA'S
OVER THE MOON.

I'M THRILLED FOR HER,
FOR BOTH OF YOU.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I MEAN, OUT OF THE BLUE

YOU'RE... YOU HAVE
A DAUGHTER AND A GRANDSON?

YEP. JOY AND KAI.

IT WAS A WONDERFUL
SURPRISE.

AND YOUR EX?

WELL, WE BOTH REALIZED

WE'RE BETTER AS GRANDPARENTS

THAN WE ARE AS A COUPLE.

BUT IT'S TURNED INTO
A VERY NICE FRIENDSHIP.

RIGHT.
ENOUGH CATCHING UP.

I HAVE A PROPOSITION
FOR YOU.

YOU KNOW, LAST TIME
WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT...

RELAX. ELVIS HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

WHAT'S THIS?

AN INVITATION.

I WANT YOU TO COME
TO THE WEDDING

AS MY PLUS ONE.

PORTIA'S OK WITH THAT?

THIS IS A GIRL WHO HAS
READ ALL OF YOUR
BOOKS TWICE.

TO HER, THE MOST
IMPRESSIVE THING
ABOUT ME

IS THAT YOU AND I WERE
MARRIED FOR 36 HOURS.

SHE'LL BE OK.

WELL, IF THAT'S THE CASE,

I'M HONORED TO ATTEND.

GREAT. NOW I GOTTA RUN.

HEY, LISTEN. UM,
IF YOU'VE GOT TIME LATER,

WHY DON'T YOU BRING
PORTIA AND WICK TO THE BAU?

I'LL GIVE THE 3 OF YOU
A TOUR.

CONSIDER IT A DATE.

ISN'T THERE A DANCE WHERE
THE COUPLE HOLDS ROSES

BETWEEN THEIR TEETH?

IT'S THE TANGO, RIGHT?

THAT'S ACTUALLY A COMMON
MISCONCEPTION.

RUDOLPH VALENTINO DID IT
WHILE DANCING THE TANGO

IN THE 1921 FILM
"FOUR HORSEMEN
OF THE APOCALYPSE,"

BUT THE AUTHENTIC
ARGENTINIAN DANCE
DOESN'T INVOLVE A ROSE

OR ANY OTHER FLOWER,
FOR THAT MATTER.

LEAVE SOME SPACE
ON THAT BOARD.

A THIRD VICTIM
WAS JUST DISCOVERED.

STABBED IN THE BACK,
RED ROSE IN HER MOUTH,

JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.

SO MUCH FOR
A COOLING-OFF PERIOD.

SPENCE, YOU AND JJ GO
TO THE NEW CRIME SCENE.

LUKE AND TARA ARE
WITH THE M.E. NOW.

MATT, MURIEL GOURSE'S
HUSBAND IS ON HIS WAY IN.

TALK TO HIM, SEE IF HE KNOWS
SOMETHING WE DON'T.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
THE BAU IN TOWN AGAIN.

I WAS LOOKIN' TO SAY HELLO
TO AGENT MORGAN.

HE RETIRED.

REALLY?

YEAH. HE'S MARRIED.
HE'S GOT A LITTLE BOY NOW.

TOOK THE PLUNGE.

WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

I'LL FIND A WAY
TO CARRY ON, SOMEHOW.

C.O.D. FOR BOTH VICTIMS
WAS A SINGLE STAB WOUND

TO THE BACK.

UNUSUAL LACERATIONS, THOUGH.

HOW SO?

WELL, BLADE WAS
THICKER AND SHORTER

THAN A STANDARD KNIFE.

MORE LIKE A DAGGER.

ARE THOSE LIGATURE MARKS?

YES, MA'AM.
INITIALLY I THOUGHT

THAT THE PERPETRATOR
TRIED TO STRANGLE HER

WITH THE NECKLACE
SHE WAS WEARING,

BUT THE LIGATURE MARKS
WERE INFLICTED POSTMORTEM.

SO THE UNSUB HANDLED
THE NECKLACE.

DID YOU RETRIEVE ANY DNA
FROM THE JEWELRY?

UNFORTUNATELY NOT.

THE KILLER MUST HAVE
WORE GLOVES.

BUT I DID FIND
SOMETHING CURIOUS

ON MURIEL GOURSE'S
BODY, THOUGH.

SLIGHT SINGEING
OF THE EYELASHES

AND THE EYEBROWS.

AND THERE WERE TRACES
OF SMOKE IN HER LUNGS.

HER HEAD MUST HAVE BEEN
FORCED INTO THE OVEN.

MM. WHILE SHE WAS
STILL ALIVE.

DRINK RESIDUE ALL OVER
THE VICTIM'S FACE.

UNLIKELY SHE WAS
CONSUMING ANY OF IT,

THOUGH THAT SPLATTER
PATTERN SUGGESTS
IT WAS POURED ON HER,

POSSIBLY POSTMORTEM.

YEAH. I DON'T THINK RITA
WAS MUCH OF A DRINKER AT ALL.

THERE'S NOT A DROP OF ALCOHOL
ANYWHERE ELSE AROUND HERE.

WAS SHE EMPLOYED?

YEAH. PERSONAL NURSE.

UH, WORKED THE OVERNIGHT
SHIFT AT PRIVATE HOMES.

ACCORDING TO GARCIA,
NO MEN IN HER LIFE.

THE NEIGHBORS SAID
SHE WAS QUIET,

KEPT TO HERSELF
MAINLY,

WAS FAIRLY
ACTIVE IN CHURCH.

WELL, HER LIVING SPACE
CERTAINLY REFLECTS THAT.

OLD-FASHIONED WARDROBE,

MUSIC COLLECTION FROM
YOUR GRANDPARENTS' TIME.

HER BOOKS ARE MOSTLY
ROMANCE NOVELS.

STEAMY ONES AT THAT.

MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER RITA
DEEP INSIDE TRYING TO ESCAPE.

OR DID ESCAPE.

MAYBE THAT'S WHAT
GOT HER KILLED.

WE NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
AT THE OTHER VICTIMS.

MAYBE THEY ALL HAVE
SOMETHING BREWING
BENEATH THE SURFACE.

YOU IN THE MIDDLE
OF ANYTHING?

BLACK CHERRY
DELICIOUSNESS.

WHY ANY MORTAL
WOULD EAT ANY... OH!

VISITORS!

PENELOPE, I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE YOU

TO PORTIA RICHARDS,
WICK ROLLINS,

AND KRYSTALL RICHARDS.

WITH A "K" AND TWO Ls.

OH, IT'S SO NICE
TO MEET YOU.

YOUR REPUTATION
PRECEDES YOU.

I'VE HEARD SO MUCH
ABOUT YOU.

GOOD STUFF. NOT GOOD

IN THE CONVENTIONAL SENSE,

BUT NOT ANYTHING
THAT I DON'T APPROVE OF.

DOUBLE NEGATIVE. SORRY.

IT'S JUST... YOU KNOW WHAT?

PEOPLE ARE SO JUDGMENTAL,

AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE
JUDGMENTAL,

AND THAT'S NOT
WHAT I'M GONNA DO. BE.

JUDGMENTAL.

IT IS A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU,
PENELOPE.

AND THE LADIES
WERE WONDERING

IF YOU COULD ESCORT THEM
TO THE RESTROOM.

I... I CAN DO THAT.
IT'S THIS WAY.

I'LL BE IN MY OFFICE
WITH WICK.

THERE YOU GO.
DOWN THIS HALL.

SHE'S QUITE THE CHARACTER.
IS SHE ALWAYS LIKE THAT?

LUCKILY FOR US, YES.

MY OFFICE IS THIS WAY.

OH, WOW.

A FELLOW MARINE
GAVE THAT TO ME

SHORTLY BEFORE HE DIED.

THERE'S A PORTION OF
THE VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL

ENGRAVED ON IT.

YOU SHOOT?

I DO. TRIED OUT
FOR THE OLYMPIC TEAM,

10-METER AIR RIFLE.

WOW. WELL,
THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IN A SESSION

AT THE FBI FIRING RANGE?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I'LL SET IT UP
FOR LATER TODAY.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

THIS GIRL YOU'RE
MARRYING IS HILARIOUS.

WELL, LET US IN
ON THE JOKE, HONEY.

OH, I WAS JUST...
TELLING A STORY.

WHAT STORY WOULD THAT BE?

OH, IT WAS ONE OF THOSE
YOU HAD TO BE THERE

KIND OF THINGS.

THIS HAS
BEEN A GREAT TOUR,

BUT WE'VE GOT SOME
LAST-MINUTE SHOPPING

TO CATCH UP ON.

WE STILL ON FOR DINNER
AT YOUR PLACE TONIGHT?

LINGUINI A LA ROSSI.
BRING YOUR APPETITES.

IT'S QUITE GOOD.

IT'S A VEGETARIAN...

TALKED TO STEVEN GOURSE.

CONFIRMED BOTH HE
AND MURIEL ARE NONSMOKERS

BUT ADMITTED HIS WIFE
WOULD SNEAK A CIGARETTE

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
USUALLY LATE AT NIGHT.

SHE SUFFERED
FROM INSOMNIA.

WAS IT POSSIBLE
SHE HID THEM IN THE OVEN?

SHE KNEW HER HUSBAND
WAS WISE TO HER,

AND PLUS STEVEN SAID
THE BRAND WASN'T EVEN
THE KIND SHE SMOKED.

ANOTHER THING.
NONE OF AMANDA'S FRIENDS

REMEMBER EVER SEEING
HER WEARING THE NECKLACE

THAT WAS FOUND ON HER BODY.

SHE LIKED HIGH-END JEWELRY,
AND THAT NECKLACE WAS CHEAP.

MAYBE THE UNSUB
BROUGHT IT WITH HIM,

LIKE HE DID THE ALCOHOL
WITH RITA

AND THE CIGARETTES
WITH MURIEL.

IT COULD BE HIS OWN
UNIQUE FORM OF SADISM.

NOT ONLY DID HE DISPENSE
PHYSICAL PAIN,

BUT AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH,

HE INFLICTED A PSYCHOLOGICAL
WOUND AS WELL.

VICTIM'S DEE STOCKTON.
SINGLE, LIVED ALONE.

THERE'S NO SIGNS
OF A STRUGGLE INSIDE,

SO IT MUST HAVE ALL
GONE DOWN OUT HERE.

A SINGLE STAB WOUND
TO THE BACK
LIKE THE OTHERS,

BUT DRENCHED
FROM THE NECK UP.

I'M THINKING THE UNSUB
PROBABLY PUT HER HEAD
IN THE FOUNTAIN.

HE BRINGS AN ITEM
TO EACH CRIME SCENE, RIGHT?

SO WHAT DOESN'T
BELONG HERE?

MAYBE NOW HE'S PLAYING
HIDE-AND-SEEK.

THERE'S BOOZE, CIGARETTES,

A CHEAP PEARL NECKLACE.

I MEAN, I GUESS
IF YOU CONSIDER JEWELRY
WASTEFUL SPENDING,

THEN THOSE ALL QUALIFY
AS VICES.

WELL, THEY COULD BE
THE UNSUB'S VICES.

HE DRINKS, HE SMOKES,
AND TOO BROKE TO BUY
DECENT JEWELRY.

IT WOULD PROVE
THE REJECTED LOVER THEORY.

I MEAN, IF HE THINKS
THAT'S WHY THESE WOMEN
SPURNED HIM,

MAYBE IT'S PAYBACK.

YOU KNOW, REID AND JJ
SAID THAT RITA

HAD AN OLD-TIME MUSIC
COLLECTION.

YEAH, WORLD WAR II
ERA STUFF.

GARCIA, HEY, I NEED YOU

TO CHECK THE POLICE INVENTORY
ON AMANDA CORLISS' APARTMENT.

WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC
SHE LISTENED TO.

OK. SO DEE'S MUSIC WAS
MOSTLY THIRTIES AND FORTIES.

I KNOW AMANDA IS
A LOT YOUNGER, BUT IT...

YEAH. GARCIA.

OK. THANKS.

AMANDA HAD AN EXTENSIVE
COLLECTION OF BIG BAND MUSIC.

WE WEREN'T BEING
SPECIFIC ENOUGH.

ABOUT WHAT?

WELL, IT WASN'T JUST BOOZE.

IT WAS RUM AND COCA-COLA.

AND IT WASN'T JUST JEWELRY.

IT WAS A DIME STORE
PEARL NECKLACE.

THE CIGARETTES WERE ABOUT
PUTTING HER HEAD IN SMOKE.

"RUM AND COCA-COLA,"
"STRING OF PEARLS,"

"SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES,"

SONG TITLES.
YEAH.

HOW DID YOU PULL THAT
OUT OF THIN AIR?

NOT AIR.

WATER.

"THREE COINS
IN THE FOUNTAIN."

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MALE,
PROBABLY IN HIS 40s OR 50s.

HE'S BRAZEN AND CONFIDENT.

AND THE UNSUB MIGHT
BE ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED

WITH THE WOMEN HE'S KILLING.

WE BELIEVE
HE BROUGHT A NECKLACE

TO ONE OF THE CRIME SCENES,

AND HE ALWAYS LEAVES BEHIND
A SINGLE RED ROSE.

GIVEN THE DIVERSITY IN AGE,
TYPE, AND ETHNICITY,

THIS PERSON
IS NOT ZEROING IN ON
A SPECIFIC SURROGATE.

AND THE PERSON
WE'RE LOOKING FOR

IS MORE IN
THE TED BUNDY MOLD.

HE'S HANDSOME,
CHARMING, PERSONABLE.

HE'S THE TYPE OF MAN
YOU WOULD PROBABLY
BE DRAWN TO

IN A SOCIAL SETTING.

THIS MAY BE A CLASSIC CASE
OF CASANOVA COMPLEX,

A PSYCHOLOGICAL TERM
GIVEN TO MEN

WHO MOVE
FROM LOVER TO LOVER,

DISCARDING THEM
THE MOMENT
THEY'VE BEEN CONQUERED.

THE VICTIMS WERE
PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE

TO THIS TYPE OF SEDUCTION.

AMANDA CORLISS WAS
UNHAPPILY PROMISCUOUS.

MURIEL GOURSE WAS IN
A TROUBLED MARRIAGE.

RITA FRAZEE LIVED VICARIOUSLY
THROUGH ROMANCE NOVELS.

MUSIC IS SUPREMELY IMPORTANT
TO THIS UNSUB'S RITUAL,

PARTICULARLY POPULAR MUSIC
FROM THE THIRTIES,
FORTIES, AND FIFTIES,

AND IT MAY IN FACT
BE PART OF THE RUSE HE USES

TO LURE HIS VICTIMS IN.

WE HAVE NO REASON
TO THINK HE'LL STOP NOW.

FOR HIM, THIS IS A HUNT.

AND INTRINSIC TO THE HUNT

IS THE ANTICIPATION
OF THE NEXT VICTIM.

THANK YOU ALL.

HEY. AREN'T YOU
SUPPOSED TO BE,

LIKE, UP TO YOUR ELBOWS
IN FETTUCCINI?

LINGUINI.
BUT IT'S NOT TILL 8:00.

LISTEN, DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD QUICKLY

CHECK OUT SOMETHING
FOR ME?

SURE. WHAT?

IT'S WICK.

THIS AFTERNOON
AT THE SHOOTING RANGE,

ONE OF OUR YOUNG
FEMALE AGENTS WAS
IN THE NEXT BOOTH.

AND WHEN WICK NOTICED
THAT SHE WAS A BETTER
SHOT THAN HE WAS...

HE DIDN'T TAKE IT WELL?

NO. NOT AT ALL.

HE TRIED TO MASK IT,

BUT HIS CAROTID
WAS POUNDING,

HIS AIM GOT WORSE.

AND... AND EARLIER,
IN MY OFFICE,

WHEN PORTIA HAD
YOU ALL LAUGHING,

DID YOU NOTICE HOW
HE SHUT HER DOWN?

YES. HE ABSOLUTELY
SHUT HER DOWN.

THE COERCIVE CONTROL
OF A MISOGYNIST.

IT'S TEXTBOOK.
UH-HUH.

I CAN VET HIM.
LET ME VET HIM.
I WILL VET HIM.

PENELOPE...

SIR, BY THE TIME
I AM DONE,

YOU WILL KNOW
ABOUT MR. WICK ROLLINS

OF SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,
YOU WILL KNOW

WHAT COLOR
HIS SHOELACES ARE,

YOU WILL KNOW WHETHER
HE'S AN INNIE OR AN OUTIE...
BELLYBUTTON.

PENELOPE, NO.
I JUST WANT A SIMPLE
BACKGROUND CHECK.

I DON'T WANT YOU
DIGGING INTO EVERY
NOOK AND CRANNY.

OH, NO, SIR, THAT'S
WHERE THE BAD STUFF IS
YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES
A NOOK A NOOK
AND A CRANNY A CRANNY.

YOU GOTTA GET...

OK. I'LL LIMIT MY SEARCH
TO A LEVEL ONE.

THANK YOU. CALL ME
IF YOU FIND ANYTHING.

LEVEL TWO, MAX.

MAYBE 2 1/2.

SO THE M.E.
SAID DEE STOCKTON

WASN'T SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.

OH, SO NONE OF
THE VICTIMS WERE.

NOW, THERE'S
A BASIC QUESTION WAY UPSTREAM

THAT WE
HAVEN'T ANSWERED YET.

HOW IS THE UNSUB
MEETING THESE WOMEN?

BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE
MORE THAN ONE ENCOUNTER.

THE RITUAL OF COURTSHIP
TAKES TIME.

THE ONLY OVERLAP
WE HAVE AT THIS POINT
IS VINTAGE MUSIC.

THE KILLER COULD BE
A MUSICIAN,

COULD OWN A RECORD STORE,

OR JUST SHARE
THE INTEREST.

STEVEN GOURSE TOLD MATT
THAT HIS WIFE

SUFFERED FROM INSOMNIA,
RIGHT?

YEAH. WHY?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

MURIEL GOURSE
HAD TROUBLE SLEEPING,

AMANDA WENT CLUBBING
EVERY NIGHT,

AND RITA WAS AN R.N.
WHO WORKED
THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT.

THE VICTIMS ARE AWAKE WHEN
THE REST OF THE WORLD SLEEPS.

THAT HAS TO BE THE WINDOW

OUR UNSUB IS
EXPLOITING, BUT HOW?

AND WHO'S HE
TARGETING NEXT?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT CHANGED.

IT'S NOT YOU, JANICE,
IT'S ME.

I KNOW THAT!
WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHY.

LOOK. I GOT A LOT
OF THINGS ON MY MIND.

WELL, WHY DON'T WE GET OUT
OF TOWN FOR A COUPLE DAYS?

WE COULD FIND SOME
ROMANTIC LITTLE B&B.

I RESPECT YOU TOO MUCH
TO PLAY GAMES, JANICE.

WE NEED TO MOVE ON,
BOTH OF US.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

YOU'RE REALLY BREAKING UP
WITH ME?

AREN'T YOU GONNA
ANSWER THAT?

IT'S YOUR WIFE,
ISN'T IT?

I'M LATE FOR MY PROGRAM.

SCREW YOU, CRAIG!

AND SCREW YOUR RESPECT!

ROMANCE, LATE NIGHT,
AND WORLD WAR II MUSIC.

WHERE DO THESE 3 THINGS
COME TOGETHER?

RETRO NIGHT CLUB, CONCERT,

MAYBE A BAR WITH RAT PACK
STYLE ENTERTAINMENT.

YEAH, BUT THOSE
VENUES DON'T FIT

RITA OR MURIEL'S
LIFESTYLES.

I MEAN, THEY WERE BOTH
SHY, STAY-AT-HOME TYPES.

WHAT ABOUT RADIO?

WHAT ABOUT IT?

WELL, LATE-NIGHT RADIO,

IT CAN BE ALL
OF THESE THINGS.

THE MUSIC, THE INTIMACY,

THE SEDUCTIVE VOICE
REACHING OUT OF THE NIGHT

INTO THE PRIVACY
OF YOUR OWN HOME.

OUR UNSUB COULD BE A DJ.

T-MINUS 4 MINUTES, DUDE.
CUTTING IT CLOSE.

HEY. WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I CALLED YOUR CELL,
BUT YOU DIDN'T PICK UP.

I HAVE TO GO
TO MY MOTHER'S.

WHAT, NOW? TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WE'RE SUPPOSED TO...

I KNOW. SHE FORGOT
SHE HAD A DOCTOR'S
APPOINTMENT

FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING.

DON'T WORRY.
I'LL BE BACK IN TIME.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I'M NERVOUS.

ABOUT WHAT?

RENEWING OUR VOWS.

YOU'RE NOT HAVING
SECOND THOUGHTS, ARE YOU?

I WAS GONNA ASK YOU
THE SAME THING.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

I KNOW. IT'S JUST...

YOU'VE BEEN ACTING
SO DIFFERENT LATELY.

I'M SORRY. IT JUST...
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

IT'S... IT'S EVERYTHING.

AND TO ME.

EVERYTHING I DO
IS FOR YOU.

PLAY MY SONG TONIGHT?

I'LL PLAY IT TWICE.

YOU HAVE A GREAT SHOW.

SPRINKLE SOME HAPPINESS
TO ALL THE PEOPLE
OUT THERE.

I BET THAT SPRINKLER'S
ALREADY BEEN DOING
SOME WATERING TONIGHT.

HOW IS JANICE, ANYWAY?

WE'RE DONE. NOT THAT
IT'S ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS.

5 SECONDS.

GOOD EVENING.
THIS IS CRAIG KALINE,

AND WELCOME TO THE NIGHT.

THE POET T.S. ELIOT SAID,

"LET US GO, THEN, YOU AND I,

"WHEN THE EVENING IS
SPREAD OUT AGAINST THE SKY,

LIKE A PATIENT ETHERIZED
UPON A TABLE."

FOR THE NEXT 6 HOURS,

WHILE THE REST
OF THE CITY SLEEPS,

WE'LL BE DANCING
IN THE DARK,

JUST YOU AND ME.

THIS IS OUR TIME,

THE TIME OF ETHERIZED
WAKEFULNESS.

I'M SERIOUSLY GONNA HURL.

GOTTA BE OVER 100
RADIO STATIONS IN CHICAGO.

106 IF YOU COUNT
HIGH-FREQUENCY OUTLETS

LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY'S
LISTENING RANGE.

WELL, GARCIA'S GOING OVER
THE VICTIMS' PHONE RECORDS,

SO IF IT WAS A CALL-IN
REQUEST-TYPE THING,

MAYBE A NUMBER REPEATS
ITSELF.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE
ISN'T A STATION IN THE CITY

THAT EXCLUSIVELY PROGRAMS
BIG BAND MUSIC.

MAYBE AN OCCASIONAL
VINTAGE SONG

IS FOLDED INTO THE BODY
OF A DIFFERENT FORMAT.

WELL, IT'S
GONNA BE A LONG NIGHT.

LET'S GET ON IT.

THANKS. GARCIA SAID
NONE OF THE VICTIMS

CALLED IN TO ANY
RADIO STATIONS.

ALL RIGHT. WE MAY NOT
BE LOOKING

AT CONVENTIONAL AM-FM
RADIO STATIONS.

I MEAN, THERE'S...
THERE'S SATELLITE
AND INTERNET RADIO, TOO.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
THOUSANDS OF NICHE
PROGRAMS OUT THERE.

GREAT. SO OUR HAYSTACK
JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BIGGER.

WHAT CONCERNS ME
IS THE PACE OF THE KILLINGS.

I MEAN,
YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

THE SEDUCTION RUSE
IS A LONG CON.

I MEAN, IT TAKES TIME
TO SET THE BAIT,

REEL THE VICTIMS IN.

THESE WOMEN HAVE BEEN
IN PLAY FOR A WHILE.

THE COMPRESSED TIMELINE
IS CONCERNING.

BUT WHY ISN'T
HE GRADUALLY KILLING

AS HE PHASES IN
NEW VICTIMS?

WHEN INVADING ARMIES
ARE FLEEING TERRITORY

THEY'VE OCCUPIED
FOR A WHILE,

OFTEN THEY'LL BURN THEM
TO THE GROUND.

THAT REMINDS ME OF THE WAY
THIS UNSUB

IS PUTTING THE TORCH
TO HIS ROMANCES.

HE'S ON THE RUN.

HE KNOWS
THE END IS NEAR,

JUST LIKE IN WAR,
WHICH MEANS

HE'S CLOSING IN
ON HIS ENDGAME.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT
A LITTLE DISTRACTED
THERE, WICK.

THINKING ABOUT YOUR
HONEYMOON NIGHT INSTEAD?

MOM!

WHAT?!

THE WEAPON WASN'T
CALIBRATED RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. ROSSI,

THAT WAS
AN INCREDIBLE DINNER.

THE PLEASURE WAS MINE.

BUT, PLEASE, MR. ROSSI
WAS MY FATHER.

JUST GIVE ME ONE MINUTE,
PLEASE.

YOU'RE POSITIVE?

I AM TRIPLE POSITIVE.

WICK ROLLINS HAS BEEN
ENGAGED TO 3 WOMEN

IN THE LAST 3 YEARS,
AND THEY ALL FELL THROUGH.

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DO KNOW
THAT IN EACH CASE

THE WOULD-BE BRIDES
HAD SUPER RICH PARENTS

AND WICK WALKED AWAY
WITH A HEFTY FINANCIAL
SETTLEMENT.

HE IS A CON ARTIST.

KRYSTALL SAID THAT
PORTIA'S FATHER HAS MONEY.

DOES WICK HAVE
A CRIMINAL RECORD?

NOT OFFICIALLY.
HE DOES HAVE TWO ACCOUNTS

OF DOMESTIC ASSAULT.

BOTH TIMES THE CHARGES
WERE DROPPED.

HE DOES HAVE MULTIPLE
RESTRAINING ORDERS.

HE IS SUPER BAD NEWS.

THANKS, PENELOPE.

YEAH, WE'D LOVE TO.

IT'S JUST THAT OUR REQUEST
LINES ARE ALREADY...

OK. I'LL CONVEY THAT
TO HIM.

THAT WAS JANICE.
SHE'D LIKE YOU TO PLAY

"DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S
BEST FRIEND,"

JUST FOR HER.

FORGET IT.

YEAH. UM, THING IS
THERE'S AN INCENTIVE CLAUSE.

IF SHE DOESN'T
HEAR THE SONG,

SHE'S GONNA HAVE A CHAT
WITH CHERYL.

PLAY IT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE'VE STILL GOT
ANOTHER HOUR HERE.

PUT ON A "BEST OF."

MORNING, SPENCE.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?

THE UNSUB'S GROWING
HIS OWN ROSES.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

WELL, THE BRANCHING PATTERNS

AND LACK OF FUNGAL
CONTAMINATION

ASSOCIATED WITH GREENHOUSES.

GARDEN ROSES AREN'T
AS COSMETICALLY PERFECT

AS FLORIST ROSES,
BUT THEY'RE HEALTHIER

AND HAVE STURDIER
LEAF GROWTH, LIKE THIS ONE.

SO OUR UNSUB LIVES
IN THE GREATER CHICAGO AREA

WITH A ROSE GARDEN.

WELL, WE SHOULD HAVE
THIS CASE WRAPPED
BY NOON.

HOW'S GARCIA'S
PHONE SEARCH COMING?

NOTHING. SHE IS LOOKING
INTO CHAT, MESSAGING,

SOCIAL POSTS,
BUT IT TAKES TIME.

RITA WAS A PRIVATE NURSE
IN OTHER PEOPLE'S HOMES, RIGHT?

YEAH. WHY?

WELL, MAYBE SHE USED
ONE OF HER PATIENTS' PHONES.

YOU JUST MADE
A HUGE MISTAKE.

HEY, GARCIA.

YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT.

ONE OF RITA'S PATIENTS
IS JOANNE WILLIS,

AND THERE WERE MULTIPLE CALLS
FROM THE WILLIS RESIDENCE

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS

TO AN INTERNET RADIO STATION
IN CHICAGO.

THAT COULD BE IT.

AND WHAT'S
THE STATION'S FORMAT?

SONGS TO BE AN UNSUB BY,

WHICH IN THIS CASE IS
SONGS FROM THE THIRTIES,

FORTIES, AND FIFTIES.

IT IS A LIVE CALL-IN SHOW

HOSTED BY CRAIG KALINE NIGHTLY,

AND IT JUST WENT OFF THE AIR.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

DID CRAIG SAY
WHERE HE WAS GOING?

HE JUST BOLTED.

NORMALLY I'D SAY
IT'S SOME WOMAN.

CRAIG WAS A LITTLE
OVERWIRED THAT WAY.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU
SAY THAT NOW?

TODAY'S THE DAY HE'S RENEWING
HIS VOWS WITH HIS WIFE.

YOU'D THINK THE GUY
COULD KEEP IT TUCKED IN
UNTIL AT LEAST AFTER THAT.

DO YOU KEEP A LOG
OF WHAT MUSIC IS PLAYED
HERE EACH NIGHT?

WE ARCHIVE PLAYLISTS
GOING BACK TWO YEARS.

HAVE AT IT.

SO, UH, CRAIG HAD
A WAY WITH THE WOMEN?

BIG-TIME.
HOW THEY BOUGHT INTO

HIS CORNBALL LINE
OF B.S. I'LL NEVER KNOW.

LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

WE GET STUFF LIKE THIS
EVERY DAY.

"DREAMING OF US
DANCING IN THE DARK."

THIS ONE'S R-RATED,
BUT THERE'S PLENTY

OF TRIPLE-X IN THIS BOX.

ALL OF THE VICTIMS' SONGS
ARE IN HERE.

"STRING OF PEARLS,"
"RUM AND COCA-COLA,"

"SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES."

VICTIMS?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

DID CRAIG PLAY
THESE SONGS RANDOMLY,

OR WERE THEY REQUESTS?

REQUESTS. A LOT OF THE SONGS
HE PLAYS ARE REQUESTS.

DID YOU GET ONE
LAST NIGHT?

YEAH. UH...

JANICE. DON'T KNOW
HER LAST NAME,

BUT THIS IS HER NUMBER.

WHAT WAS THE SONG?

"DIAMONDS ARE
A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND."

WHERE'D THAT ROSE
COME FROM?

NO IDEA.

CRAIG KALINE, FBI!

SHOW YOURSELF!

NO SIGN OF JANICE FOX.

WE GOT AN APB OUT.

WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED HERE?

CRAIG FINALLY RAN UP
AGAINST A VICTIM
WHO FOUGHT BACK?

OR JANICE WAS THE KILLER
ALL ALONG.

WE PROFILED REJECTED LOVER.

A WOMAN SCORNED WOULD
CERTAINLY

FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY.

SHE WANTED CRAIG
ALL TO HERSELF.

SHE TRIED TO ELIMINATE
THE COMPETITION.

JJ SAID THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO RENEW HIS WEDDING VOWS

WITH HIS WIFE CHERYL TODAY.

THAT COULD HAVE
TRIGGERED JANICE.

BUT HE WAS
TORTURED BADLY.

THAT'S AWFULLY VICIOUS
FOR A FEMALE.

DON'T KID YOURSELF.

WHEN NATIVE-AMERICAN
WARRIORS

COULDN'T GET INFORMATION
OUT OF A CAPTURED PRISONER,

THEY'D HAND THEM OVER
TO THEIR WOMEN.

THEY DID?

I SHOULD PUT THAT TIDBIT
ON A PLAQUE

AND HANG IT
OVER MY DESK.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

I'M SORRY, PORTIA,
BUT IT'S TRUE.

HE FOOLED ME, TOO.

BUT HE'S NOT
LIKE THAT.

WICK WOULD
NEVER HAVE DONE
ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

EVERYBODY THAT MEETS
HIM, THEY LOVE HIM.

SOCIOPATHS ARE DECEPTIVE.

THEY OFTEN HAVE
AN APPEALING PUBLIC FACE.

IS THAT WHY YOU INVITED
HIM TO THE WEDDING,

SO HE COULD
INVESTIGATE WICK?

OF COURSE NOT.

I THINK YOU DID
BECAUSE YOU DON'T
TRUST ME

TO MAKE MY OWN
CHOICES, MOM.

YOUR MOTHER HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS, PORTIA.

IT'S ME. WICK IS
A DANGEROUS MAN.

HE'S BEEN VIOLENT
TOWARDS WOMEN IN HIS PAST.

YOU DON'T EVEN
KNOW HIM!

I DON'T HAVE TO
LISTEN TO THIS.

SWEETHEART...

NO, JUST LEAVE
ME ALONE!

GREAT.

SHE'S UPSET.

IT'S NATURAL TO BLAME
THE MESSENGER.

SORT OF LIKE
HOW I'M FEELING
ABOUT YOU RIGHT NOW.

I'M SORRY.

I HAD TO SHARE
WHAT I KNEW.

I'LL TALK TO HER.

IT MUST BE DIFFICULT
BEING YOU,

SEEING THE MONSTERS
OUT THERE

THE REST OF US CAN'T.

EVER WISH THERE WAS
AN OFF SWITCH
TO YOUR SUPER POWERS?

ALL THE TIME.

YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

WELL...

GOOD-BYE, DAVID.

OH, THIS IS INTERESTING.

THAT'S THE BRACELET
FROM THE CRIME SCENE.

IT BELONGED TO JANICE.

SAYS IT WAS A GIFT
FROM HER SECRET ADMIRER.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER...

YEAH. THERE.

THAT'S
THE SAME BRACELET.

YEAH.

CRAIG GAVE IT
TO HIS WIFE

IN HONOR OF THEM
RENEWING THEIR VOWS.

CHERYL WAS UPSET
BECAUSE SHE'D LOST IT.

CRAIG TOOK THE BRACELET
AND GAVE IT TO JANICE.

YEAH. MATT,
LOOK AT WHERE SHE IS.

SHE'S IN A ROSE GARDEN.

AND LOOK
AT WHAT SHE'S USING.

CALM DOWN.

IT'LL ALL BE OVER SOON.

SPENCE LOOKED
THROUGH THE BOX

AT THE RADIO STATION
AND HE FOUND LOVE NOTES

FROM ALL OF THE VICTIMS.

THAT'S HOW CHERYL WAS
DECIDING WHO TO KILL.

SHE DISCOVERED THE BOX.

BUT CRAIG'S ASSISTANT
SAID THAT AMANDA

WAS THE ONLY ONE HE WAS
HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH.

THE OTHERS JUST REQUESTED
SONGS NOW AND THEN.

THAT DIDN'T MATTER.
THE OTHER VICTIMS

MAY HAVE NEVER
EVEN MET CRAIG.

BUT AFTER AMANDA,
CHERYL SAW THEM ALL
AS POTENTIAL THREATS.

SO A HARMLESS FAN NOTE
DROPPED IN THE MAIL
GOT THEM KILLED.

LUCK OF THE DRAW.

OK, SO IF CHERYL
DOES HAVE JANICE,

WHERE DID THEY GO?

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO RENEW
THEIR VOWS TODAY.

MAYBE THAT'S
WHERE THEY WENT.

GARCIA...

OHH... HERE IT IS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
CRAIG THAT DAY.

HE WAS SO HANDSOME.

PLEASE DON'T.

YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE TAKE
"UNTIL DEATH DO YOU PART"

FOR THEIR VOWS.

WE TOOK THAT PART OUT

BECAUSE NOTHING WAS GOING
TO TAKE US APART,

NOT EVEN DEATH.

I'M SORRY!

BUT THEN IT GOT RUINED.

EVERYTHING,
EVERYONE OUT THERE,

THEY JUST...
THEY JUST COULDN'T...

THEY JUST COULDN'T
LEAVE US ALONE. THEY JUST...

CHERYL KALINE,
FBI. DROP YOUR WEAPON!

LOWER YOUR ARMS SLOWLY

AND LEAVE THE GUN
ON THE GROUND.

NO.

I'M GOING TO
JOIN HIM NOW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
THERE'S A BETTER WAY.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WE DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT? TELL US.

HIS VOICE, HIS MUSIC
WENT OUT TO EVERYBODY

THROUGH THE AIR.

THERE WAS NO WAY
OF STOPPING IT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE?

NO MATTER WHERE I WAS,
NO MATTER WHAT
I WAS DOING,

I FELT THE AIR
AROUND ME,

AND I WONDERED
IF HIS VOICE
WAS THERE,

TALKING TO ANOTHER WOMAN,

LISTENING TO ALL
THE THINGS THAT
SHE WANTED.

CHERYL.

NO.

IF YOU DON'T PUT
THE GUN DOWN...

YOU'RE GONNA MISS IT.

MISS WHAT?

CRAIG'S FINAL SHOW.

HE RECORDED IT LAST WEEK.

DEDICATED EVERY SONG
TO YOU.

TO ONLY YOU.

WELL, CAN I HEAR IT?

IT'S PLAYING RIGHT NOW.

IT'S IN THE AIR,

ALL AROUND US.

YEAH.

OH! YEAH, I CAN HEAR IT.

OH! IT'S REALLY HIM.

I CAN HEAR IT. OH...

OK. OK.

OHH...

OH... OHH.

WOW.

I HOPE I WASN'T
INTERRUPTING ANYTHING,
AGENT ROSSI,

BUT I WANTED YOU TO
HEAR IT DIRECTLY
FROM ME.

PORTIA AND I ARE
GOING FORWARD
WITH THE WEDDING.

WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HER?

I'M NOT THAT GUY
ANYMORE.

THE STRENGTH
OF OUR LOVE
CHANGED ME.

DOES HER MOTHER KNOW?

YEAH. PORTIA'S TELLING
HER RIGHT NOW.

ANYHOW, THAT WAS IT.

JUST CAME TO SEE THAT
LOOK OF DISAPPOINTMENT
ON YOUR FACE.

NO HARD FEELINGS,
BUT, UH,

YOU'RE NOT INVITED
ANYMORE.

AAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

THE THING IS, WICK,
I DO HAVE HARD FEELINGS.

YOU HAVE A HISTORY
OF HITTING WOMEN.

NOBODY CAN PROVE IT... AAH!

YOU'LL MARRY PORTIA,
YOU'LL HIT HER,

THEN YOU'LL
AGREE TO GO AWAY
FOR A NEGOTIATED PRICE.

IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT?

SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE GONNA
BREAK MY FRIGGIN' WRIST.

OH, NO, THIS IS JUST
SOFT TISSUE PAIN.

HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT
TO AVOID REAL FACIAL
RECONSTRUCTION,

I SUGGEST YOU TAKE
ANOTHER SIT-DOWN WITH PORTIA

AND YOU EXPLAIN TO HER
YOU THINK SHE'S TOO GOOD
FOR YOU,

AND THEN YOU HIT THE ROAD
PERMANENTLY.

IF YOU WEREN'T FBI... AAH!
UGH! UNH!

I CAN'T MAKE IT OUT
ABOVE ALL YOUR WHIMPERING.

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED.

YOU DON'T SCARE ME.

WHY SHOULD I SCARE YOU?

MY JOB IS TO STOP
SCARY PEOPLE.

FOR INSTANCE, A GUY
WHO TAKES A PLIERS TO PEOPLE

HE DOESN'T LIKE.

NOW, LET'S SAY
THAT THIS GUY

IS UP FOR PAROLE, SAY,
NEXT THURSDAY

AT ANGOLA PRISON.

AND LET'S JUST SAY
THAT I NEGLECT TO SHOW UP

TO TESTIFY AGAINST
HIS RELEASE.

NOW, THAT GUY, HE MIGHT
MISINTERPRET THINGS.

HE MIGHT THINK
I DID HIM A FAVOR,

THAT HE OWES ME ONE.

AND THEN...

HE MIGHT LOOK FOR A WAY
TO PAY THAT DEBT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

TO HELL WITH PORTIA.

SHE AIN'T ANYTHING
SPECIAL ANYWAY.

I WONDER WHY SOME MEN
ARE LIKE CRAIG KALINE.

WHAT, HORN DOGS,
YOU MEAN?

IS THAT THE MEDICAL TERM?

LEWIS, LAUGHING:
I BELIEVE IT IS.

SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, CHERYL...

BEFORE SHE WENT OFF
THE DEEP END...

WAS A DEVOTED
AND LOVING WIFE.

WHY DID CRAIG FEEL
LIKE HE HAD TO BED

EVERYTHING THAT MOVED?

YOU KNOW,
IT MIGHT SOUND CRAZY,

BUT HAVING MULTIPLE
SEXUAL PARTNERS

ACTUALLY ISN'T HARD
TO UNDERSTAND

FROM AN
ANTHROPOLOGICAL SENSE.

OVER 90% OF MAMMALS
ARE PROMISCUOUS.

IT SERVES THE FUNCTION
FOR SELF-PRESERVATION

AS WELL AS A COPING
MECHANISM TO HELP
RELIEVE STRESS.

CHEATING ON YOUR SPOUSE
RELIEVES STRESS?

I THINK THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
GOT THAT ONE BACKWARDS.

WELL, I WONDER HOW ROSSI
AND KRYSTALL ARE DOING.

SEEING AN OLD FLAME
AFTER THAT MANY YEARS,

CHANCES ARE IT GOT
REAL AWKWARD REAL FAST.

NO. NO, NOT ROSSI.

WITH THAT GUY
AS YOUR D.C. TOUR GUIDE,

PROBABLY PAINTING THE TOWN
FIRE ENGINE RED.

I'LL HAVE SOME OF WHAT
YOU'RE DRINKING.

NEAT, RIGHT?

WOULD YOU MIND PUTTING
SOME HAPPIER MUSIC ON?

I AM TRYING TO PRETEND
THINGS HAVEN'T
FALLEN APART COMPLETELY.

SOLITAIRE, DAVID? REALLY?

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO
LEAN INTO THE OBVIOUS.

YOU CAN PLAY THIS
ON YOUR SMARTPHONE,
YOU KNOW.

NO. I LIKE THE FEEL
OF CARDS,

THE SMELL, THE SOUND
THEY MAKE WHEN YOU SHUFFLE.

BETTER?

PERFECT.

ALSO LIKE HER MOM.
