Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 22 - Believer - full transcript
Reid receives notification via anonymous email of the hidden whereabouts of Owen Quinn, an FBI agent with the Violent Crimes Apprehension Program (ViCAP) until he quit one year ago. He aspired to be part of the BAU, but broke protocol in a potential case, leading to him quitting to pursue the case on his own in his obsession on the issue. That case, the unsub who he coined the Strangler, had one known victim, although he believed there were others, he fitting missing persons into his victimology to support his theory, most of those missing persons who ended up being found and not potential victims of this supposed unsub. The many questions of the BAU, the answers to which would will help them solve the mystery of Quinn's situation, include: who the anonymous email sender is; what the email sender's motive is; and why the email sender chose Reid, who barely knows Quinn. Through questioning Quinn, Quinn's family (the case which led to the breakup of his marriage), and his ViCAP colleagues, the BAU has to decipher if Quinn is telling the truth about what has happened to him over the past year or if it is just a story in hiding that he is the Strangler himself. That story is that he was held captive by who would seem to the outside world as a model suburban family, the parents, purportedly the Stranglers, who tortured him, while their late teenaged son, Theo, the only one in the household who showed him any sympathy.
SEARCH IS CLEAR.
GOOD.
GO.
HOLD.
ALL RIGHT,
HOLD IT. BACK UP.
WE GOT A BODY.
OPEN IT.
RIGHT.
IT'S CUT.
MAN, ON RADIO:
ALPHA'S MADE ENTRY.
STILL WARM.
THIS KILL IS FRESH.
OWEN.
YOU KNOW THIS GUY?
HEY.
WE WERE TOO LATE.
WE TRIED.
NOW WE NEED TO
TELL THE TEAM.
GET OFF ME!
RIGHT THERE!
DROP THE WEAPON!
OWEN!
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.
OWEN, WAIT.
DROP YOUR
WEAPON!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
THIS MAN IS ON THE JOB.
FBI SPECIAL AGENT
OWEN QUINN,
BADGE NUMBER
2310-NINER-5.
OWEN, LOOK AT ME.
REID?
PRENTISS.
YES.
YOU'RE SAFE
NOW, OWEN.
YOU'RE HOME.
HOW LONG?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THAT RIGHT NOW.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'RE OK.
WHAT YEAR IS IT?
IT'S 2018.
NO!
YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
YOU'RE SAFE.
NO, I'M NOT!
I'M NOT!
"A THING IS
NOT NECESSARILY TRUE
BECAUSE A MAN DIES FOR IT."
OSCAR WILDE.
WHO REMEMBERS
THIS AGENT?
I DO NOT.
THAT'S
AGENT OWEN QUINN.
HE WORKED HERE UNTIL
HE QUIT A YEAR AGO.
HE WORKED
IN THE VIOLENT CRIMES
APPREHENSION PROGRAM
ON THE 5th FLOOR,
BUT HE ASPIRED
TO BE A PROFILER.
SO,
WHY'D HE QUIT?
HE WAS CONVINCED
THERE WAS AN UNSUB
WE MISSED
WORKING UP AND DOWN
THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR.
HE NAMED HIM
"THE STRANGLER."
NAMING THE
UNSUB. THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WE DON'T DO.
THAT WASN'T
HIS ONLY MISTAKE.
YEAH, WE
REVIEWED HIS REPORT.
HE STARTED WITH
A SINGLE VICTIM...
A WOMAN IN MARYLAND
WHO'D BEEN STRANGLED
AND HAD THE HYOID
BONE AT THE FRONT OF
HER THROAT REMOVED,
BUT SHE WAS HIS ONLY
CONFIRMED VICTIM.
OH, ONE MURDER
DOESN'T MAKE YOU
A SERIAL KILLER.
YEAH, WE TOLD
HIM THAT.
SO HE STARTED FORCING
MISSING PERSONS INTO
HIS VICTIMOLOGY
TO FIT HIS PROFILE.
IN THE END, 5 OF
HIS 7 VICTIMS SHOWED UP
ALIVE AND UNHARMED,
2 WERE INCONCLUSIVE.
FIRST SIN OF PROFILING.
TRYING TO FIT THE EVIDENCE
TO MATCH A THEORY.
QUINN TOOK THE CRITICISM
PERSONALLY AND QUIT,
SAID HE'D PURSUE
THE INVESTIGATION
ON HIS OWN.
THAT'S A LITTLE
IMPULSIVE.
SO, HOW DID WE
FIND HIM IN
THE STORAGE UNIT?
I GOT AN E-MAIL.
GOT AN E-MAIL?
YOU HATE E-MAIL.
I DO. I WAS EVEN
MORE SURPRISED
WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS
AN ANONYMOUS SENDER.
GARCIA, CAN YOU PUT
THE MESSAGE ON THE BOARD?
THAT'S QUINN'S
FBI ID BADGE.
THAT'S A BIG
PIECE OF BAIT.
I MEAN,
THE UNSUB KNOWS
WE HAVE TO TAKE IT.
SOMEONE LEFT US BREADCRUMBS
TO A FORMER FEDERAL AGENT,
WHO SURE AS HELL
LOOKED DEAD.
SO DID THE UNSUB
THINK HE WAS DEAD
WHEN HE LEFT HIM
THERE FOR US,
OR WAS HE LEAVING US
SOME KIND OF WITNESS?
OR TO PUT IT
ANOTHER WAY,
IS THIS GUY TRYING
TO HELP US OR TAUNT US?
RIGHT NOW,
QUINN HAS ALL
THE ANSWERS.
REID WILL INTERVIEW HIM.
LUKE, TARA, GO TO THE
STORAGE UNIT,
SEE WHAT
YOU CAN UNCOVER.
MATT, J.J., I NEED YOU
TO REACH OUT TO HIS
WIFE AND SON.
HEY...
TELL ME NOT TO WORRY.
ABOUT WHAT?
YOU GOT AN E-MAIL?
OK, MAYBE I'LL
BUY THAT. MAYBE.
BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST CALL THE REST OF US?
AND WHY TAKE A SWAT TEAM
TO A STORAGE UNIT
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT?
YOU'RE KEEPING
SECRETS, OK?
AND WHEN YOU KEEP SECRETS,
I GET NERVOUS.
BECAUSE THE LAST TIME...
I WENT TO PRISON
FOR A MURDER THAT
I DIDN'T COMMIT.
YEAH.
SO... TELL ME
NOT TO WORRY.
WHOEVER DID THIS
WANTED ME TO FIND
QUINN,
AND I NEEDED
TO KNOW WHY.
DO YOU EVEN
KNOW HIM THAT WELL?
NO. I MEAN, I'VE
SEEN HIM IN THE BUILDING
OCCASIONALLY,
BUT THAT JUST MADE
THE WHOLE THING WEIRDER.
SO, I TOLD PRENTISS
THAT I NEEDED AN
EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES
EXEMPTION TO
THE SABBATICAL.
SHE MADE IT HAPPEN,
AND... NOW YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING?
EVERYTHING.
ALL RIGHT.
UH-UH. UH-UH.
UH-UH. UH-UH.
UH-UH.
OWEN...
OWEN, YOU'RE
IN QUANTICO NOW.
THERE ARE 7 FLOORS
AND 200 AGENTS IN
THIS BUILDING ALONE.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY
PROTECTED.
DID YOU FIND
THE STRANGLER?
NO, WE DIDN'T,
BUT WE FOUND YOU.
THEN I'M NOT
PROTECTED!
IS THAT WHY YOU TRIED
TO KILL YOURSELF?
IT WAS THAT BAD?
TELL ME ABOUT
YOUR INVESTIGATION.
YOU FOUND SOMETHING.
YOU FOUND SOMETHING
THAT WE MISSED. WHAT WAS IT?
THE NEWS.
HE REALLY LIKED
THE NEWS.
THEN, LIKE NEWSPAPERS?
THE NEWs.
NEW LONDON...
NEW HAVEN...
NEWARK.
THAT'S WHERE HE HUNTED.
I PREDICTED HE WOULD
HIT NEW ROCHELLE NEXT.
HE LIKED COLLEGE BARS.
HE LIKED HUNTING
IN THEM.
SO I HUNTED FOR HIM,
AND THEN...
AND THEN SHE
CAME UP TO ME.
SHE GOT MY GUARD DOWN,
SLIPPED SOMETHING
IN MY DRINK...
SHE?
THEN THERE'S MORE
THAN ONE OF 'EM?
MM-HMM.
IT WAS A TEAM.
IT WAS A MAN
AND A WOMAN?
MM-HMM.
DID YOU GET THEIR NAMES?
YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW BAD IT WAS.
FROM THE MOMENT
I W-WOKE UP IN THEIR
HOUSE HOW BAD.
UGH!
YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!
THEO! LET'S GO,
LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
TRAFFIC'S GONNA BE
A NIGHTMARE.
HEY, DAD, CAN I BORROW
THE CAR TOMORROW NIGHT?
ANOTHER DATE
WITH APRIL?
♪ THINGS ARE
GETTING SERIOUS ♪
I HOPE YOU'RE
TREATING HER
WITH THE RESPECT
SHE DESERVES,
YOUNG MAN.
GEEZ, DAD. YES.
BYE, MOM.
BYE.
I THOUGHT WE'D NEVER
GET A MOMENT ALONE.
AAAHH!
THAT WAS JUST
THE BEGINNING.
I LEARNED TO SURVIVE
BY PLAYING DEAD.
I SLOWED DOWN
MY HEARTBEAT,
MY BREATHING.
THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY
I COULD GET THEM TO STOP.
YOU GOT SO GOOD AT IT,
YOU FOOLED US LAST NIGHT.
AND THE BOY... THEO.
HIS NAME IS THEO.
HE WOULD FEED ME
SOMETIMES.
WHY WOULD THE PARENTS
RISK EXPOSING THEIR SON
TO A CAPTIVE LIKE YOU?
I DON'T KNOW,
I DON'T KNOW.
HE JUST...
HE FED ME SOMETIMES.
HE TALKED TO ME
LIKE I WAS HUMAN.
I BEGGED HIM
TO LET ME GO,
BUT HE COULDN'T
DEFY THEM.
OH, GOD...
OH, GOD...
GOD...
AND YOU THINK
WE'RE BEING PLAYED?
YOU TELL ME
IF YOU BUY THIS...
A HUSBAND-AND-WIFE
KILLING TEAM
RAISING A SUN IN THE
MIDDLE OF SUBURBIA
LIKE OZZIE
AND HARRIET.
FAKING TRAUMA.
THAT'S A DANGEROUS GAME
TO PLAY AGAINST PROFILERS.
WHAT'S HE TRYING
TO HIDE FROM US?
HE COULD BE COVERING
FOR WHOEVER LOCKED HIM
IN THAT STORAGE UNIT.
MY MIND GOES
TO THE STRANGLER.
AND THERE'S MORE
GOING ON BETWEEN THEM
THAN HE'S LETTING ON.
YOU KNOW WHERE
MY MIND GOES...
TO SERIAL KILLERS
LIKE TONY COSTA,
ISRAEL KEYES,
FRED WEST.
SUSPECTS WHO KILLED
THEMSELVES ONCE THEY
WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
LIKE QUINN TRIED TO DO
LAST NIGHT.
YOU THINK MAYBE
HE'S THE STRANGLER?
I THINK WE LEAVE
ALL THEORIES ON THE TABLE
UNTIL WE VERIFY HIS STORY.
AND I THINK WE VERIFY
HIS STORY BY GOING BACK
TO WHERE IT STARTED.
LUKE,
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
SO FAR, WE CAN TELL YOU
THAT THE UNIT WAS RENTED
IN QUINN'S NAME
2 DAYS AGO,
ALL PAID FOR IN CASH.
SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE
CAUGHT FOOTAGE
OF A HOODED MALE
HEFTING QUINN
AND EVERYTHING ELSE
INTO THE UNIT
ON THAT SAME DAY.
WE SENT IT OVER
TO GARCIA,
BUT IT'S
TOO GRAINY TO ID.
WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU
FOUND IN THERE?
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE
STUFFED AN ENTIRE GIRL'S
DORM ROOM IN HERE...
LINENS, CLOTHES...
READS TO US
AS YOUNG AND FEMALE.
SO, SOMEONE WITH
THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH
TO CARRY QUINN AROUND
ALSO PACKS UP HIS DAUGHTER'S...
OR HIS GIRLFRIEND'S
COLLEGE DORM ROOM.
WHAT'S THE PATTERN HERE?
WE'RE ASKING OURSELVES
THE SAME QUESTION.
KEEP US POSTED
ON WHAT YOU FIND.
ALL RIGHT.
WILL DO.
OH, MY GOD, ALVEZ.
I GOT SOMETHING.
WHAT?
YOUR MOM.
OH, REALLY. MOM JOKES?
WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET HER,
AND YOU SAY THAT, RIGHT,
BECAUSE WHAT SHE'S GONNA
DO IS CRUSH YOU
WITH JUST A LOOK.
YOU SEE THAT LOOK?
THAT'S MY MOM.
I ALREADY FEEL THE NEED
TO APOLOGIZE FOR
BREAKING CURFEW
AND NOT CLEANING
UP MY ROOM.
YOU SHOULD.
WHOA.
OH, COME ON, TARA,
NOT AGAIN.
I'M GONNA NEED
AN EVIDENCE BAG.
ACTUALLY,
I'M GONNA NEED 7.
HYOID BONES.
QUINN SAID THE STRANGLER
REMOVED THESE
FROM THE NECKS OF HIS VICTIMS
AND KEPT THEM AS TROPHIES.
THEY'VE GOT
DATES ON THEM.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA HAVE
GARCIA RUN THESE DATES
AGAINST HIS WHEREABOUTS.
I MEAN, EITHER QUINN'S
THE UNLUCKIEST AGENT
IN THE HISTORY OF
THE BUREAU, OR...
HE'S THE GUILTIEST.
HI. ARE YOU SHANE?
YEAH.
I'M SSA JENNIFER JAREAU
WITH THE FBI.
THIS IS SSA
MATT SIMMONS.
IS YOUR MOM HOME?
MOM?
I KNEW IT. I JUST KNEW.
KNEW WHAT?
THAT HE WOULDN'T
WALK OUT ON US,
LIKE MOM SAID.
HE WAS A GREAT DAD.
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.
SO... CAN I SEE HIM?
WELL, THAT'S WHY
WE'RE HERE.
UM...
BUT WE NEED TO WARN YOU
THAT HE MIGHT NOT BE
THE SAME MAN
THAT YOU REMEMBER.
WHY?
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
WHAT HAPPENED
TO HIM?
WHAT ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?
WHAT DID HAPPEN?
HE BECAME OBSESSED
WITH THAT CASE.
THE STRANGLER?
HE STARTED THINKING
LIKE HIM.
HE SAID THAT'S HOW
HE'D GET INTO THE
MIND OF A MADMAN.
IT ENDED WITH HIM...
DID HE HURT YOU?
NO...
BUT HE WANTED TO.
HE WANTED TO...
CHOKE ME,
TO KNOW HOW IT FELT.
HE KEPT ASKING,
DEMANDING...
SO I KICKED HIM
OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I FILED FOR DIVORCE,
AND I NEVER
SAW HIM AGAIN.
SHANE IS OFFERING
TO COOPERATE.
NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!
WELL, HE'S 18, AND HE
DOESN'T NEED ANYONE'S
PERMISSION.
FINE. LET ME GRAB
MY PURSE.
ALL RIGHT, OWEN.
I WANT YOU TO PAINT ME
A PICTURE,
AND I WANT YOU TO JUST
FOCUS ON THE DETAILS...
OK, THE MUNDANE,
THE DAY-IN AND THE DAY-OUT.
IT'S GONNA KEEP YOU
FROM FEELING OVERWHELMED.
DID THEY KEEP YOU IN
THE LIVING ROOM FOR
THE ENTIRE YEAR?
NO.
THEY MOVED ME...
TO THE BASEMENT.
ALL RIGHT, DESCRIBE
THE BASEMENT.
COLD...
NO WINDOWS...
ECHO-Y...
BECAUSE I SCREAMED,
SCREAMED SO MUCH.
HOW DID THEY FEED YOU?
THEO DID.
PLEASE, DON'T GO.
DON'T GO.
I HAVE TO.
THEY'LL GET SUSPICIOUS.
WAS THERE A TOILET?
THERE WAS A BUCKET.
I KNEW A NEW DAY HAD
BEGUN WHEN THEY WOULD
COME DOWNSTAIRS
AND ASK ME
THE SAME QUESTIONS.
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
WHAT DID WE GIVE AWAY?
HOW'D YOU DO IT?
TELL US, QUINN.
TELL US, AND WE'LL
STOP HURTING YOU.
TELL US, SO WE CAN
GET AWAY WITH MURDER.
THEY WERE ALREADY
GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER.
AND YOU'RE NOT A PROFILER;
YOU WERE IN ViCAP.
MAYBE I HAD VALUE
AS A HOSTAGE.
I DON'T KNOW.
GOD, HER PERFUME...
IT ALMOST CHOKED ME,
IT WAS SO STRONG.
WHOSE PERFUME?
THE WIFE'S? WHAT
DID IT SMELL LIKE?
I CAN'T...
I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT.
OWEN, YOU JUST SAID
IT CHOKED YOU. WHY
CAN'T YOU DESCRIBE IT?
WHAT, DO YOU THINK
I'M LYING? DO YOU
THINK I DID THIS?
NO. YOU KNOW WHAT
I THINK, OWEN?
I THINK THAT YOU
HAVEN'T GIVEN ME
A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE
THAT VALIDATES YOUR STORY.
EVIDENCE?
HERE'S MY EVIDENCE.
ALL RIGHT. THEO.
THEO. THEIR SON.
YOU SAID THAT HE
TREATED YOU LIKE A HUMAN.
YES.
HE TALKED TO ME.
WHAT DID HE TALK
TO YOU ABOUT?
COLLEGE.
WHICH ONE?
I DON'T KNOW.
IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT YOU DO KNOW?
I ASKED HIM.
HE WOULDN'T TELL ME.
INSTEAD, HE'D ASK ME
QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS
COURSEWORK.
"HOW DO YOU FIND
AN ANCHOR POINT
IN A GEOPROFILE?"
"WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FIXATED AND
REGRESSIVE TYPOLOGY?"
HE WAS TAKING CLASSES
IN PROFILING.
DID HE ASK YOU ABOUT
RE-OFFENSE STATISTICS
FOR FEMALE
SEXUAL OFFENDERS?
YES! EXACTLY.
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE I TAUGHT IT.
THEO WAS IN MY CLASS
AT MARBURY UNIVERSITY.
THAT'S HOW HE GOT MY E-MAIL.
I INCLUDED IT IN THE SYLLABUS.
OK... THERE ARE 9
THEO AND THEODORES
ENROLLED AT MARBURY.
NONE OF THEM
ARE ENROLLED
IN YOUR CLASS.
TOO MUCH
OF A PAPER TRAIL.
HE WAS MOST LIKELY
JUST AUDITING.
REID, FAINTLY: IT'S EXPERIENCE
BY AN OFFENDER THAT PRECIPITATES
SUBSEQUENT BEHAVIOR,
WHEREAS A STRESSOR
IS A LONGER-TERM PATTERN
OF BEHAVIOR OR
CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH PUSH
A PERSON INTO BEHAVING
DIFFERENTLY THAN
THEY NORMALLY WOULD.
HIM.
THEO HOLSTON.
ON IT.
OK, GUYS, LET'S
TALK THIS THROUGH.
WE NEED TO MAKE
THIS MAKE SENSE.
WELL, ONE THEORY IS
THAT QUINN HAS BEEN
THE KILLER ALL ALONG.
THEO SOMEHOW TRAPPED HIM,
LEFT HIM IN THE STORAGE
UNIT FOR ME TO FIND,
AND QUINN'S POST-TRAUMATIC
DECOMPENSATION ACT
IS JUST THAT... IT'S AN ACT.
HIS BEHAVIOR DOESN'T
MATCH SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN
TRAUMATIZED FOR A YEAR.
OR QUINN'S TELLING
THE TRUTH.
THEO PUT HIM IN THERE
TO FRAME HIM,
PROBABLY UNDER
HIS PARENTS' ORDERS.
OK. THEO HOLSTON'S PARENTS
ARE JERRY AND DONNA HOLSTON.
JERRY IS AN INSURANCE
SALESMAN, JUST GOT
"EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH."
DONNA'S A HOUSEWIFE,
NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
NOT EXACTLY
THE PSYCHOPATHIC TEAM
THAT QUINN PAINTED.
ALEXANDRIA'S
A SHORT DRIVE.
REID, I WANT YOU
TO STAND DOWN.
ALVEZ AND SIMMONS
WILL LEAD ON THIS.
OPEN DOOR RIGHT!
START YOUR
SEARCH.
REAR OF THE HOUSE IS CLEAR.
WE'RE CLEAR.
OVER HERE.
HEY, LUKE!
LOOKS LIKE
HE CHANGED HIS M.O.
WHERE'S THEO?
THAT'S A .40 CALIBER
SHELL.
THAT WAS QUINN'S
PERSONAL BACKUP WEAPON.
HE KEPT IT EVEN AFTER
HE TURNED IN HIS BADGE.
SO, WHOEVER KILLED
THESE TWO...
THEY USED QUINN'S GUN
TO DO IT.
THANKS.
APPRECIATE IT.
SO, THE LANDS
AND GROOVES MATCH
TO QUINN'S GUN?
YEAH, THEY DO.
YOU THINK
HE DID IT?
WE'VE GOT WHAT
HIS WIFE SAID ABOUT HIM.
BONES ALL AROUND HIM,
HIS GUN USED TO KILL
ALL THE VICTIMS
IN THE BASEMENT?
UM, YEAH.
HOW DO YOU SQUARE
THE FACT THAT
THEIR KID WENT TO
REID'S CLASS?
THAT'S A HELL OF
A COINCIDENCE.
HE'S ALMOST CERTAINLY
THE ONE THAT PUT QUINN
IN THE STORAGE UNIT.
I MEAN, WHEN WE DO FIND
HIM, WE CAN ASK HIM WHY.
BY THE WAY, AREN'T
YOU THE ONE THAT THOUGHT
QUINN WAS PLAYING US?
YEAH, THAT WAS ME.
THIS CASE...
DOESN'T ADD UP.
LIKE THE COMMENT
QUINN SAID TO REID.
"HER PERFUME...
IT CHOKED ME.
IT WAS SO STRONG."
LINGUISTIC PROFILE
WOULD CALL THAT LEAKAGE.
I MEAN, THE USE
OF THE WORD "CHOKE,"
IT'S A SUBCONSCIOUS
ADMISSION OF GUILT.
THEY INVENTORIED
THIS WHOLE PLACE.
THERE WASN'T A DROP
OF PERFUME IN IT.
DOESN'T ADD UP.
COME IN.
HI.
AGENT PRENTISS?
I'M SPECIAL
AGENT MEADOWS.
FROM ViCAP?
I HAVE OWEN'S... UH,
AGENT QUINN'S FILE
ON THE STRANGLER
THAT YOU REQUESTED.
THANK YOU.
MARY, RIGHT?
RIGHT THERE IS FINE.
UM, I'M SORRY,
BUT I HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY,
AND IT'S NOT JUST ME.
CLOSE THE DOOR.
WELL, ROSSI'S ON ONE OF HIS
"DOESN'T ADD UP" TEARS.
UH-OH.
YEAH.
I'M GUESSING HE'S
NOT THE ONLY ONE.
CAN'T SEE IT...
IN THIS CASE.
I MEAN, IS HE A SUSPECT,
OR IS HE A VICTIM?
THE WORST PART IS,
I CAN'T SEE WHY
I CAN'T SEE IT.
I DON'T REMEMBER
QUINN QUITTING.
ONE DAY HE WAS HERE,
THE NEXT HE WASN'T.
SO... I WENT BACK TO
SEE WHEN THAT WAS,
AND I FOUND OUT
IT WAS 2 WEEKS AFTER
YOU WERE ARRESTED
FOR MURDER.
YOU KNEW THAT,
DIDN'T YOU?
IT'S NOT CONNECTED.
BUT YOUR RATIONAL BRAIN
IS TELLING YOU THAT,
AND THAT PART'S RIGHT.
I ALSO KNOW THERE IS
A PART OF YOU
THAT YOU DON'T
SHOW ANYONE.
AND THAT PART OF YOU
IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHY DID SPENCER REID
GET OUT OF HIS PRISON,
YOU KNOW,
WHEN QUINN DIDN'T.
THE ANSWER IS FAMILY...
THIS FAMILY...
WE FOUGHT
TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE,
THE SAME WAY WE FOUGHT
TO SAVE PRENTISS
FROM MR. SCRATCH.
WE FOUGHT TO SAVE
THIS TEAM FROM
GETTING SHUT DOWN.
AND NOW, FAMILY WILL
HELP US FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE'RE MISSING.
HOW?
QUINN'S FAMILY
IS DOWNSTAIRS.
HOW HE RESPONDS TO
THEM COULD REALLY
TELL US WHO HE IS.
NO!
JUST DON'T.
ALL RIGHT.
DAD.
I THOUGHT I'D
NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM!
NO, WAIT!
DON'T! THEO!
MOM!
WHO'S THEO? WHO'S THEO?
- THEO!
- WHO'S THEO?
OK, WE ALL WANT A PROFILE
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING,
WRAPS EVERYTHING UP
NEATLY, BUT WE DON'T
HAVE THAT HERE.
SO, INSTEAD,
I'D LIKE TO HEAR
EVERYONE'S BEST THEORIES,
AND WE'RE GONNA REBUILD THIS
CASE FROM THE GROUND UP.
WELL, QUINN AS
THE STRANGLER STILL GETS
MY VOTE.
I MEAN, START WITH
HOW HE TREATED HIS WIFE.
IT'S TEXTBOOK
PRECURSOR BEHAVIOR.
OK, THEN WHEN
HE WORKED HERE,
HE DID HIS BEST
TO THROW US OFF.
AND WHEN HE FELT
CONFIDENT HE COULD
GET AWAY WITH IT,
HE QUIT TO KILL
WITH IMPUNITY.
UNTIL THEO CAUGHT HIM
FOR US.
THAT'S WHERE I TAP OUT.
A 19-YEAR-OLD KID
GETS THE DROP
ON AN EXPERIENCED
FBI AGENT?
THE AGENT'S ALSO
A SERIAL KILLER
WHO JUST KILLED THE
KID'S PARENTS? NO.
SO WHAT'S YOUR
THEORY, ROSSI?
I DON'T HAVE ONE.
LET'S
CONSIDER THIS.
QUINN JUST CALLED
HIS OWN SON "THEO."
CLASSIC EXAMPLE
OF PARAPRAXIS.
A FREUDIAN
SLIP.
LITERALLY DEFINED
AS AN UNCONSCIOUS WISH
OR SUBDUED DESIRE.
SO, WHY, IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN EMOTIONAL RECONNECTION
WITH HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD
WOULD HE CALL OUT
SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME?
HE BUILT
A BOND WITH THEO.
THAT MAY BE BORN
FROM STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?
COULD YOU ALL
FOLLOW ME, PLEASE?
YOU ALL KNOW THE ViCAP
TEAM FROM THE 5th FLOOR?
ONCE THEY HEARD ABOUT
OUR INVESTIGATION,
THEY ASKED US TO CONSIDER
SOME NEW INFORMATION
ABOUT QUINN.
GO AHEAD, MARY.
WE JUST... WE WANTED
TO SAY WE WORKED
WITH OWEN,
SIDE-BY-SIDE, AND...
HE WASN'T A KILLER.
ECCENTRIC,
MAYBE OBSESSED,
BUT NOT A KILLER.
I SAT NEXT
TO HIM FOR 3 YEARS.
HE WAS A DEDICATED
PUBLIC SERVANT.
HE BELIEVED IN WHAT
WE DID HERE.
WELL, IF HE WAS
SO DEDICATED TO THE FBI,
THEN WHY DID HE QUIT?
HE THOUGHT
HE COULD SAVE LIVES.
HE COULDN'T JUST
LET THE STRANGLER
KEEP KILLING.
AND THE VICTIMS
HE THOUGHT HE FOUND,
THEY WERE COLLEGE-AGE KIDS,
A LITTLE OLDER THAN
HIS OWN SON.
HE COULDN'T STAND
THE IDEA OF THOSE PARENTS
NOT KNOWING WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEIR CHILD.
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, THE
UNSUB'S HUNTING GROUND...
NEW HAVEN, NEW ROCHELLE,
NEW BRUNSWICK...
HE WAS RIGHT ON.
AND WE GET IT.
WE'RE NOT THE
PROFILERS. YOU ARE.
BUT IF HE WAS A PSYCHOPATH,
WE WOULD HAVE NOTICED.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT
WE TAKE QUINN'S STORY
AT FACE VALUE.
WHAT DOES THAT
LEAVE US WITH?
THEO.
MAYBE HE'S NOT A KILLER,
BUT HE'S INVOLVED,
AND HE'S GONE
OUT OF HIS WAY TO
STAY OFF OUR RADAR.
HEY, GARCIA, LOOK UP
THEO'S CLASSMATES
AT MARBURY,
AND FOCUS ON
THE NAME "APRIL."
ACCORDING TO QUINN, THAT
WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND'S NAME.
THEY HAVE MET ON CAMPUS.
HELLO, GORGEOUS.
APRIL PEARSON TOOK A
LINGUISTICS CLASS WITH THEO.
SHE LIVES IN AN APARTMENT
JUST OFF-CAMPUS...
WHICH SHE JUST MOVED OUT OF.
WELL, THAT WOULD
EXPLAIN THE ADDITIONAL
BELONGINGS
WE FOUND AT THE
STORAGE UNIT WITH QUINN.
OK, WE NEED TO FIND HER.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I NEED TO TALK TO HIM.
WHERE IS APRIL?
WHO?
THEO DIDN'T JUST HIDE YOU.
HE HID HER, TOO.
WHERE IS SHE?
I HAD TO.
WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
THE PERFUME...
HOW IT WAS SO STRONG,
IT CHOKED YOU...
YOU WEREN'T TALKING
ABOUT THE WIFE.
YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT APRIL.
WHAT?
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S TIME FOR
THEO'S FINAL TEST.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
DAD! DAD, NO!
OH, JUST
AS WE THOUGHT.
YOU TURNED HIM INTO
YOUR PET, HAVEN'T YOU?
WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS?
BECAUSE IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO MAKE A CHOICE...
A CHOICE THAT STARTS
WITH THE ACCEPTANCE
THAT THERE IS A KILLER
INSIDE EVERYONE. EVERYONE.
HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.
KILL THE GIRL.
SHE'S STANDING IN THE WAY
OF OUR SON'S POTENTIAL.
NO!
THEN WE WILL
KILL THEO,
THEN HER,
THEN YOU.
I'M SORRY.
AGGGHH!
THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
I WOKE UP IN THE STORAGE UNIT.
WE FOUND YOUR CAPTORS
DEAD IN THE BASEMENT.
I THINK I KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.
CAN WE DO IT
QUICKLY, AT LEAST?
THAT'S WHY THEO'S
IN HIDING FROM US.
HE KILLED HIS OWN PARENTS.
GARCIA JUST MATCHED
JERRY HOLSTON'S
TRAVEL FOR WORK
WITH ABDUCTIONS
IN NEW LONDON, NEW HAVEN,
AND NEW ROCHELLE.
THE DATES ON THE BONES
WERE A PERFECT MATCH.
YOU WERE TELLING US
THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TIME,
AND THEO WAS GIVING US
THE EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT.
EXCEPT THEO WAS RAISED
BY TWO PSYCHOPATHS.
AND NOW THAT
HE'S KILLED THEM...
WHO KNOWS WHAT
HE'S GONNA DO NEXT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SHE WON'T SLEEP?
OK, OK, WE'VE...
YEAH. PUT HER ON THE PHONE.
HI, HONEY.
MOM SAYS YOU DON'T
WANT TO GO TO SLEEP.
WHAT'S... WHAT'S... WHY
NOT? TELL YOU WHAT.
YOU GO TO SLEEP
RIGHT NOW,
'CAUSE
TOMORROW MORNING
WHEN YOU WAKE UP...
EXCUSE ME.
CAN YOU TELL ME...
UHH!
UHH... UHH...
UHH...
UHH!
SECURITY FOOTAGE
POSITIVELY IDd THEO.
HE'S DEFINITELY
OUR GUNMAN.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'M THINKING BANG
AND THEN BANG...
VICTIM NUMBER 2 FALLS HERE.
THEO WALKS UP,
PULLS THE TRIGGER
WITH NO HESITATION.
COLD.
POST-TRAUMATIC
SNAP, MAYBE.
YOU KNOW, THEO
FELT THREATENED.
SOMETHING HIS PARENTS DID
REMINDED HIM OF THAT,
AND IT FITS THE PROFILE.
POOR GUY TRIED TO
CRAWL AWAY.
QUINN SAID THE
STRANGLER'S WIFE BURNED
OFF HIS FINGERPRINTS.
BUT AM I CRAZY,
OR IS THIS GUY
MISSING THEM, TOO?
TARA'S NOT CRAZY.
ACCORDING TO THE M.E.,
BOTH VICTIMS HAD
THEIR PRINTS BURNED OFF,
MOST LIKELY WITH
HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
SO, WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THESE TWO?
OH, NO WALLETS,
NO CELL PHONE ON HIM.
WE LOOKED OVER HIS PHONE.
HADN'T BEEN ACTIVATED.
HE HAD AN EARBUD IN.
THEY'RE FAKING IT.
SO THESE VICTIMS
WEREN'T RANDOM AT ALL.
THEY WERE
STALKING THEO.
WITHOUT WEAPONS.
SO, THE PLAN MUST HAVE
BEEN TO OVERWHELM HIM,
TAKE HIM TO
A SECONDARY LOCATION.
BUT THIS APPROACH...
THE 2-ON-1, NO IDs,
IT FEELS ALMOST
PARAMILITARY.
BUT WHAT PARAMILITARY
GROUP WOULD BURN OFF
FINGERPRINTS
AND INVITE A HUSBAND-
AND-WIFE KILLING TEAM IN?
WELL, WHOEVER THEY ARE,
THEY ARE THE REASON THAT
THEO'S BEEN SO HARD TO FIND.
HE'S NOT HIDING FROM US.
HE'S HIDING FROM THEM.
HELP ME PROFILE THIS.
LET'S START WITH APRIL.
TELL ME EVERYTHING
YOU CAN ABOUT HER.
I CAN ONLY TELL YOU
WHAT THEO FELT SAFE
TELLING ME.
THAT WAS THAT YOUNG
LOVE, YOU KNOW,
THE KIND YOU ONLY
FEEL WHEN YOU'RE
19 OR 20.
MADE ME WONDER
IF I'D SURVIVE TO
SEE MY SON THAT HAPPY.
THAT'S WHY SHE WAS
A THREAT TO THEO'S PARENTS.
SHE SHOWED HIM THAT THERE
WAS A WORLD OUTSIDE OF
THEIR INSANITY.
TO DO THAT, SHE...
WHAT?
WHEN WE FOUND YOU
IN THE STORAGE UNIT,
YOU WERE SURROUNDED
BY HER THINGS.
THAT TELLS ME THAT
THEO DIDN'T JUST
DO THIS FOR YOU.
I SUPPOSE.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT
HIS STATE OF MIND RIGHT NOW.
HE HAS NO RESOURCES,
HE HAS NO PLACE TO GO,
EXCEPT SOMEPLACE
WHERE HE KNOWS
HE'LL NEVER BE FOUND.
A PLACE SHE SHOWED HIM.
HE SAVED HER LIFE.
NOW SHE'S GONNA SAVE HIS.
IF THEY'RE ON THE RUN
FROM SOME GROUP THAT'S
HUNTING THEM,
THEY WOULDN'T GO TO
A PLACE TIED TO HIS
HISTORY.
NO. THEY'D GO TO A PLACE
TIED TO HERS.
GARCIA, WHAT DIRECTION
WAS THAT TRAIN GOING?
UH, THE BLUE LINE... SOUTH.
IT TERMINATES
IN SPRINGFIELD.
LOOK FOR ANY CONNECTION
TO HER IN THAT AREA...
A SECOND APARTMENT,
A FAMILY HOME.
IF YOU CAN'T
FIND ANYTHING,
KEEP GOING SOUTH.
BOOYAH.
APRIL'S GRANDFATHER
OWNS A CABIN ON LAKE ACCOTINK.
GOOD PLACE TO HIDE OUT
FROM WHOEVER'S STILL
AFTER THEM.
WE CAN GET TO THEM
FIRST.
WE CAN, BUT WE HAVE TO
KEEP SWAT OUTSIDE THE DOOR.
THEO AND APRIL ARE PARANOID,
BELIEVING CORRECTLY THAT
THEY'RE BEING HUNTED.
WE HAVE TO DEFUSE THEM.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?
THEO, IT'S ME.
YOU GOT MY MESSAGE?
I DID, YES.
YOU MADE IT!
DID YOU GET THEM,
ALL OF THEM?
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
WE'RE SAFE IS IF
THEY'RE ALL GONE.
ALL OF WHOM?
OH, MY GOD!
YOU DON'T KNOW.
THEO, THEY DON'T KNOW!
HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?
I LEFT YOU ALL THE CLUES
IN THE STORAGE UNIT.
WE KNOW YOUR FATHER
WAS THE STRANGLER
AND THAT HE KILLED 7 VICTIMS,
AND WE KNOW THAT YOUR
MOTHER HELPED.
NO, NO.
HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS?
HOW COULD YOU MISS THIS?
WHAT DID WE MISS?
MY FATHER DIDN'T
KILL THEM.
HE ABDUCTED THEM,
AND THEN HE HANDED THEM
OVER TO THE MESSIAH.
THE MESSIAH?
AND THEN THE
MESSIAH WOULD KILL THEM
IN FRONT OF US,
HIS FOLLOWERS,
TO INSPIRE US.
DON'T YOU SEE? THIS
ISN'T ONE SERIAL KILLER
OR A COUPLE.
IT'S A CULT.
IT'S OK. IT'S OK.
IT'S OK.
PROVE YOUR ALLEGIANCE.
UHH!
AAH! AAH!
AAAAHH! AAAHHH!
GOOD.
NOW LISTEN CLOSELY
BECAUSE THE END IS NIGH.
GIVE ME A SENSE
OF HOW BIG THIS CULT IS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE
ARE IN IT?
I NEVER SAW MORE THAN
A HANDFUL OF 'EM AT A TIME.
THE FACES ALWAYS CHANGED.
THAT'S HOW THE MESSIAH
LIKED IT.
AND THIS MESSIAH...
WHO IS HE?
HIS NAME IS
BENJAMIN MERVA.
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS GROUP?
WHAT DO THEY CALL THEMSELVES?
THE BELIEVERS,
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE
THEY COULD
INHERIT THE EARTH.
YOU KNOW ABOUT
ANY OF THIS?
NO. NOTHING.
COULD YOU DO
SOMETHING FOR ME,
WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER?
THE BELIEVERS WERE
A SMALL GROUP OBSESSED
WITH THE END TIMES,
SIMILAR TO HEAVEN'S GATE.
VIOLENT?
JUST THE OPPOSITE.
THEY PREPARED THEMSELVES
BY FASTING, MEDITATION,
GIVING AWAY THEIR
EARTHLY POSSESSIONS.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE...
THE HOLSTONS JOINING UP
WITH A GROUP THAT ARE
BASICALLY A BUNCH
OF PACIFISTS.
MAYBE THEY
STOPPED BEING PACIFISTS
AFTER THEIR PREDICTION
ABOUT THE END OF THE
WORLD DIDN'T COME TRUE.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHEN A CULT
WOULD TEND TO DESTABILIZE,
AND IT'S EASIER FOR A VIOLENT
OR CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY
TO TAKE OVER.
THE MESSIAH NEEDS TO
BE OUR FOCUS.
WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT HIM?
HE HAS NO CRIMINAL
OR ONLINE RECORD.
I'M SEARCHING FOR LOCATIONS
TIED TO HIM NOW.
IF HE KILLED 7 PEOPLE,
HE'S PROBABLY KEEPING
A LOW PROFILE.
YEAH, BUT
HE'S STILL ATTRACTING
FOLLOWERS SOMEHOW,
MOST LIKELY MEN WHO GET
TURNED ON BY WATCHING
HIM KILL IN FRONT
OF AN AUDIENCE.
SO, IT'S NOT
JUST A CULT.
IT'S A CULT OF
POTENTIAL SERIAL
KILLERS.
EXACTLY THE KIND
OF CROWD THEO'S PARENTS
WOULD WANT TO HANG OUT WITH.
GARCIA, CAN YOU
POINT US IN A DIRECTION
WHERE MERVA WOULD BE NOW?
YEAH. HE BOUGHT A WAREHOUSE
ON THE EDGE OF THE DISTRICT.
NOT THE KIND OF
PLACE I'D GO TO CHURCH,
BUT IDEAL IF HUMAN SACRIFICE
IS YOUR THING.
IF WE CAN ARREST
THE CULT LEADER,
WE CAN STOP
THE CULT. LET'S GO.
SHH...
FBI!
SHOW US YOUR HANDS.
BENJAMIN DAVID MERVA,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST
FOR THE MURDER
OF 7 PEOPLE.
WHERE ARE YOUR
FOLLOWERS, BEN?
OH, I HAVE NO FOLLOWERS...
ONLY STUDENTS.
AND WHAT YOU SEE
IS ALL I HAVE.
MAY I HAVE
EVERYONE'S ATTENTION?
METRO P.D. AND THE BUREAU
HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE
OF THE BELIEVERS
AND POSSIBLE ACTIVITY
FOLLOWING THEIR
LEADER'S ARREST,
BUT TAKING THEO
AT HIS WORD...
WELL, WE ARRESTED 3. THERE'S
PROBABLY MORE OUT THERE.
BUT IF THEY FOLLOW
CULT DYNAMICS,
THEY'LL BREAK DOWN
WITHOUT THE MESSIAH.
TYPICAL CULT. YOU THINK
IT'S A CAST OF THOUSANDS,
WHEN REALLY IT'S JUST
4 WACKOS SITTING AROUND
IN THE DARK.
I THINK WE DESERVE
SOME DECOMPRESSION TIME,
AND ROSSI IS KIND
ENOUGH TO HOST.
AND I HAVE
SOME TOP-SHELF WINE
PICKED
JUST FOR THE OCCASION.
YES! OK, I HAVE TO DO
A SYSTEMS CHECK.
PLEASE DO NOT HAVE
TOO MUCH FUN WITHOUT ME.
♪ I WILL
MEET YOU ALL THERE ♪
UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T
THINK I'M GONNA BE ABLE
TO MAKE IT TONIGHT.
TELL ME NOT TO WORRY.
DON'T. I'M GOOD.
I'M REALLY GOOD.
OK. WELL...
IT'S NOT FAMILY
WITHOUT YOU THERE.
I KNOW. THERE'S ANOTHER
FAMILY THAT COULD USE
MY HELP RIGHT NOW.
AH.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
IT'S FOR ALL THE TIMES
YOU WORRIED ABOUT ME.
I NEVER SAID THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
IS MY DAD COMING?
HE'S FINISHING UP
HIS FINAL DEBRIEF
INTERVIEW.
I'LL KEEP YOU COMPANY
UNTIL HE COMES DOWN.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT
HAPPENED TO HIM NOW?
FIRST THING THAT
YOU NEED TO KNOW IS
THAT YOUR FATHER
IS A HERO.
- OK.
- IT'S TRUE.
SHUT UP.
IT'S TRUE!
THERE ARE ACTUAL
SEXUAL POSITIONS
THAT PRODUCE
UGLY BABIES?
YES. IT'S BEEN PROVEN.
WELL, BY WHO?
YOUR MOM?
OH HO! ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANT A WAR?
I WILL BRING IT.
IT'S ON.
COME AT ME, BRO.
EMILY, PLEASE.
LET IT GO.
I KNOW. MAYBE IT'S
THE CURSE OF BEING
TEAM LEADER,
BUT SOMETHING IS
BUGGING ME ABOUT THIS.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT BUGS ME.
WE FOUND A CULT LEADER
BUT NO CULT.
THAT'S NOT IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S IT,
BUT THAT'S NOT IT.
WELL, WHAT IS IT,
THEN?
IN THE WAREHOUSE
WHERE WE ARRESTED
THE MESSIAH,
THERE WERE THESE
PETRI DISHES ON THE FLOOR
FILLED WITH
HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
PERFECT FOR
BURNING OFF FINGERPRINTS.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT THE
DRUG LORD EL CHAPO DID
IN MEXICO.
AND BASED ON
THE TWO DEAD GUYS
IN THE SUBWAY,
MAYBE THAT WAS
THEIR INITIATION.
YOU WANT TO JOIN,
YOU BURN OFF
YOUR FINGERPRINTS.
WHERE YOU GOING
WITH THIS?
IT'S JUST ONE
NAGGING QUESTION.
WHY DID THEY BURN OFF
QUINN'S FINGERPRINTS?
WELL, THEY
TORTURED HIM.
WITH THEIR
INITIATION RITE?
I MEAN, MAYBE, BUT...
OR MAYBE WE SOMEHOW
MISREAD QUINN ALL THIS TIME.
MAYBE THERE WAS CULT PROGRAMMING
THEO DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT.
WHAT IF THEY
DID CONVERT HIM?
AND WE LEFT HIM
IN THE BUILDING
WHERE THE MESSIAH IS
BEING HELD IN CUSTODY.
ALL RIGHT,
I'LL CALL SPENCE AND GARCIA.
GUYS, WE NEED TO GET BACK
TO QUANTICO RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT THIS WAY,
OWEN.
YOUR SON IS WAITING
FOR YOU DOWNSTAIRS.
OH, WAIT!
UH...
THIS PHONE, THIS PHONE,
THIS PHONE.
J.J.?
I AM ON MY WAY.
ARGH! LOST HER.
SO, I WILL TEXT.
"J.J.,
I'M ON MY WAY."
I KNEW YOU DIDN'T
DO IT. I JUST KNEW.
AND I CAN'T TELL YOU
WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT'S BEEN
WORKING WITH THE A-TEAM
ON THIS CASE.
"A-TEAM"?
OHH... A-TEAM.
AND OWEN, IF WE
TIME THIS RIGHT,
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY
GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE THE SUNRISE.
DRAW YOUR GUN.
WHAT?
DRAW YOUR GUN!
HEY, J.J., WHAT'S UP?
WHAT WAS THAT?
STAY HERE.
PUT YOUR HANDS UP,
QUINN!
WHAT HAPPENED?
IT'S HER.
WHAT?
SHE'S ONE OF THEM.
DROP YOUR
GUN, AGENT REID.
IT'S BEEN YOU
THE WHOLE TIME.
YES, IT WAS.
QUINN SOMEHOW
FIGURED IT OUT FIRST.
PITY HAVING TO
SHOOT HIM,
BUT HE CAN'T GIVE ME
WHAT I WANT,
AND YOU CAN.
WHAT'S THAT?
YOU AND I ARE
GONNA GO UPSTAIRS
AND FREE MY MESSIAH.
YOU'RE IN THE HEART
OF THE FBI.
AS SOON AS THE REST
OF MY TEAM FIGURES
OUT IT'S YOU,
YOU'LL BE DEAD BEFORE
YOU'RE OUT THE DOOR.
THEN WE NEED TO
WORK QUICKLY.
I'M NOT COOPERATING
WITH YOU. MIGHT AS
WELL SHOOT ME.
I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
NOW, WHAT'S IT
GONNA BE?
BECAUSE YOU CAN
EITHER JOIN US,
OR SHE DIES.
SPENCER, JUST SHOOT HER!
SHOOT HER!
GOOD.
GO.
HOLD.
ALL RIGHT,
HOLD IT. BACK UP.
WE GOT A BODY.
OPEN IT.
RIGHT.
IT'S CUT.
MAN, ON RADIO:
ALPHA'S MADE ENTRY.
STILL WARM.
THIS KILL IS FRESH.
OWEN.
YOU KNOW THIS GUY?
HEY.
WE WERE TOO LATE.
WE TRIED.
NOW WE NEED TO
TELL THE TEAM.
GET OFF ME!
RIGHT THERE!
DROP THE WEAPON!
OWEN!
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.
OWEN, WAIT.
DROP YOUR
WEAPON!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
THIS MAN IS ON THE JOB.
FBI SPECIAL AGENT
OWEN QUINN,
BADGE NUMBER
2310-NINER-5.
OWEN, LOOK AT ME.
REID?
PRENTISS.
YES.
YOU'RE SAFE
NOW, OWEN.
YOU'RE HOME.
HOW LONG?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THAT RIGHT NOW.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'RE OK.
WHAT YEAR IS IT?
IT'S 2018.
NO!
YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
YOU'RE SAFE.
NO, I'M NOT!
I'M NOT!
"A THING IS
NOT NECESSARILY TRUE
BECAUSE A MAN DIES FOR IT."
OSCAR WILDE.
WHO REMEMBERS
THIS AGENT?
I DO NOT.
THAT'S
AGENT OWEN QUINN.
HE WORKED HERE UNTIL
HE QUIT A YEAR AGO.
HE WORKED
IN THE VIOLENT CRIMES
APPREHENSION PROGRAM
ON THE 5th FLOOR,
BUT HE ASPIRED
TO BE A PROFILER.
SO,
WHY'D HE QUIT?
HE WAS CONVINCED
THERE WAS AN UNSUB
WE MISSED
WORKING UP AND DOWN
THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR.
HE NAMED HIM
"THE STRANGLER."
NAMING THE
UNSUB. THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WE DON'T DO.
THAT WASN'T
HIS ONLY MISTAKE.
YEAH, WE
REVIEWED HIS REPORT.
HE STARTED WITH
A SINGLE VICTIM...
A WOMAN IN MARYLAND
WHO'D BEEN STRANGLED
AND HAD THE HYOID
BONE AT THE FRONT OF
HER THROAT REMOVED,
BUT SHE WAS HIS ONLY
CONFIRMED VICTIM.
OH, ONE MURDER
DOESN'T MAKE YOU
A SERIAL KILLER.
YEAH, WE TOLD
HIM THAT.
SO HE STARTED FORCING
MISSING PERSONS INTO
HIS VICTIMOLOGY
TO FIT HIS PROFILE.
IN THE END, 5 OF
HIS 7 VICTIMS SHOWED UP
ALIVE AND UNHARMED,
2 WERE INCONCLUSIVE.
FIRST SIN OF PROFILING.
TRYING TO FIT THE EVIDENCE
TO MATCH A THEORY.
QUINN TOOK THE CRITICISM
PERSONALLY AND QUIT,
SAID HE'D PURSUE
THE INVESTIGATION
ON HIS OWN.
THAT'S A LITTLE
IMPULSIVE.
SO, HOW DID WE
FIND HIM IN
THE STORAGE UNIT?
I GOT AN E-MAIL.
GOT AN E-MAIL?
YOU HATE E-MAIL.
I DO. I WAS EVEN
MORE SURPRISED
WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS
AN ANONYMOUS SENDER.
GARCIA, CAN YOU PUT
THE MESSAGE ON THE BOARD?
THAT'S QUINN'S
FBI ID BADGE.
THAT'S A BIG
PIECE OF BAIT.
I MEAN,
THE UNSUB KNOWS
WE HAVE TO TAKE IT.
SOMEONE LEFT US BREADCRUMBS
TO A FORMER FEDERAL AGENT,
WHO SURE AS HELL
LOOKED DEAD.
SO DID THE UNSUB
THINK HE WAS DEAD
WHEN HE LEFT HIM
THERE FOR US,
OR WAS HE LEAVING US
SOME KIND OF WITNESS?
OR TO PUT IT
ANOTHER WAY,
IS THIS GUY TRYING
TO HELP US OR TAUNT US?
RIGHT NOW,
QUINN HAS ALL
THE ANSWERS.
REID WILL INTERVIEW HIM.
LUKE, TARA, GO TO THE
STORAGE UNIT,
SEE WHAT
YOU CAN UNCOVER.
MATT, J.J., I NEED YOU
TO REACH OUT TO HIS
WIFE AND SON.
HEY...
TELL ME NOT TO WORRY.
ABOUT WHAT?
YOU GOT AN E-MAIL?
OK, MAYBE I'LL
BUY THAT. MAYBE.
BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST CALL THE REST OF US?
AND WHY TAKE A SWAT TEAM
TO A STORAGE UNIT
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT?
YOU'RE KEEPING
SECRETS, OK?
AND WHEN YOU KEEP SECRETS,
I GET NERVOUS.
BECAUSE THE LAST TIME...
I WENT TO PRISON
FOR A MURDER THAT
I DIDN'T COMMIT.
YEAH.
SO... TELL ME
NOT TO WORRY.
WHOEVER DID THIS
WANTED ME TO FIND
QUINN,
AND I NEEDED
TO KNOW WHY.
DO YOU EVEN
KNOW HIM THAT WELL?
NO. I MEAN, I'VE
SEEN HIM IN THE BUILDING
OCCASIONALLY,
BUT THAT JUST MADE
THE WHOLE THING WEIRDER.
SO, I TOLD PRENTISS
THAT I NEEDED AN
EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES
EXEMPTION TO
THE SABBATICAL.
SHE MADE IT HAPPEN,
AND... NOW YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING?
EVERYTHING.
ALL RIGHT.
UH-UH. UH-UH.
UH-UH. UH-UH.
UH-UH.
OWEN...
OWEN, YOU'RE
IN QUANTICO NOW.
THERE ARE 7 FLOORS
AND 200 AGENTS IN
THIS BUILDING ALONE.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY
PROTECTED.
DID YOU FIND
THE STRANGLER?
NO, WE DIDN'T,
BUT WE FOUND YOU.
THEN I'M NOT
PROTECTED!
IS THAT WHY YOU TRIED
TO KILL YOURSELF?
IT WAS THAT BAD?
TELL ME ABOUT
YOUR INVESTIGATION.
YOU FOUND SOMETHING.
YOU FOUND SOMETHING
THAT WE MISSED. WHAT WAS IT?
THE NEWS.
HE REALLY LIKED
THE NEWS.
THEN, LIKE NEWSPAPERS?
THE NEWs.
NEW LONDON...
NEW HAVEN...
NEWARK.
THAT'S WHERE HE HUNTED.
I PREDICTED HE WOULD
HIT NEW ROCHELLE NEXT.
HE LIKED COLLEGE BARS.
HE LIKED HUNTING
IN THEM.
SO I HUNTED FOR HIM,
AND THEN...
AND THEN SHE
CAME UP TO ME.
SHE GOT MY GUARD DOWN,
SLIPPED SOMETHING
IN MY DRINK...
SHE?
THEN THERE'S MORE
THAN ONE OF 'EM?
MM-HMM.
IT WAS A TEAM.
IT WAS A MAN
AND A WOMAN?
MM-HMM.
DID YOU GET THEIR NAMES?
YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW BAD IT WAS.
FROM THE MOMENT
I W-WOKE UP IN THEIR
HOUSE HOW BAD.
UGH!
YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!
THEO! LET'S GO,
LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
TRAFFIC'S GONNA BE
A NIGHTMARE.
HEY, DAD, CAN I BORROW
THE CAR TOMORROW NIGHT?
ANOTHER DATE
WITH APRIL?
♪ THINGS ARE
GETTING SERIOUS ♪
I HOPE YOU'RE
TREATING HER
WITH THE RESPECT
SHE DESERVES,
YOUNG MAN.
GEEZ, DAD. YES.
BYE, MOM.
BYE.
I THOUGHT WE'D NEVER
GET A MOMENT ALONE.
AAAHH!
THAT WAS JUST
THE BEGINNING.
I LEARNED TO SURVIVE
BY PLAYING DEAD.
I SLOWED DOWN
MY HEARTBEAT,
MY BREATHING.
THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY
I COULD GET THEM TO STOP.
YOU GOT SO GOOD AT IT,
YOU FOOLED US LAST NIGHT.
AND THE BOY... THEO.
HIS NAME IS THEO.
HE WOULD FEED ME
SOMETIMES.
WHY WOULD THE PARENTS
RISK EXPOSING THEIR SON
TO A CAPTIVE LIKE YOU?
I DON'T KNOW,
I DON'T KNOW.
HE JUST...
HE FED ME SOMETIMES.
HE TALKED TO ME
LIKE I WAS HUMAN.
I BEGGED HIM
TO LET ME GO,
BUT HE COULDN'T
DEFY THEM.
OH, GOD...
OH, GOD...
GOD...
AND YOU THINK
WE'RE BEING PLAYED?
YOU TELL ME
IF YOU BUY THIS...
A HUSBAND-AND-WIFE
KILLING TEAM
RAISING A SUN IN THE
MIDDLE OF SUBURBIA
LIKE OZZIE
AND HARRIET.
FAKING TRAUMA.
THAT'S A DANGEROUS GAME
TO PLAY AGAINST PROFILERS.
WHAT'S HE TRYING
TO HIDE FROM US?
HE COULD BE COVERING
FOR WHOEVER LOCKED HIM
IN THAT STORAGE UNIT.
MY MIND GOES
TO THE STRANGLER.
AND THERE'S MORE
GOING ON BETWEEN THEM
THAN HE'S LETTING ON.
YOU KNOW WHERE
MY MIND GOES...
TO SERIAL KILLERS
LIKE TONY COSTA,
ISRAEL KEYES,
FRED WEST.
SUSPECTS WHO KILLED
THEMSELVES ONCE THEY
WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
LIKE QUINN TRIED TO DO
LAST NIGHT.
YOU THINK MAYBE
HE'S THE STRANGLER?
I THINK WE LEAVE
ALL THEORIES ON THE TABLE
UNTIL WE VERIFY HIS STORY.
AND I THINK WE VERIFY
HIS STORY BY GOING BACK
TO WHERE IT STARTED.
LUKE,
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
SO FAR, WE CAN TELL YOU
THAT THE UNIT WAS RENTED
IN QUINN'S NAME
2 DAYS AGO,
ALL PAID FOR IN CASH.
SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE
CAUGHT FOOTAGE
OF A HOODED MALE
HEFTING QUINN
AND EVERYTHING ELSE
INTO THE UNIT
ON THAT SAME DAY.
WE SENT IT OVER
TO GARCIA,
BUT IT'S
TOO GRAINY TO ID.
WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU
FOUND IN THERE?
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE
STUFFED AN ENTIRE GIRL'S
DORM ROOM IN HERE...
LINENS, CLOTHES...
READS TO US
AS YOUNG AND FEMALE.
SO, SOMEONE WITH
THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH
TO CARRY QUINN AROUND
ALSO PACKS UP HIS DAUGHTER'S...
OR HIS GIRLFRIEND'S
COLLEGE DORM ROOM.
WHAT'S THE PATTERN HERE?
WE'RE ASKING OURSELVES
THE SAME QUESTION.
KEEP US POSTED
ON WHAT YOU FIND.
ALL RIGHT.
WILL DO.
OH, MY GOD, ALVEZ.
I GOT SOMETHING.
WHAT?
YOUR MOM.
OH, REALLY. MOM JOKES?
WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET HER,
AND YOU SAY THAT, RIGHT,
BECAUSE WHAT SHE'S GONNA
DO IS CRUSH YOU
WITH JUST A LOOK.
YOU SEE THAT LOOK?
THAT'S MY MOM.
I ALREADY FEEL THE NEED
TO APOLOGIZE FOR
BREAKING CURFEW
AND NOT CLEANING
UP MY ROOM.
YOU SHOULD.
WHOA.
OH, COME ON, TARA,
NOT AGAIN.
I'M GONNA NEED
AN EVIDENCE BAG.
ACTUALLY,
I'M GONNA NEED 7.
HYOID BONES.
QUINN SAID THE STRANGLER
REMOVED THESE
FROM THE NECKS OF HIS VICTIMS
AND KEPT THEM AS TROPHIES.
THEY'VE GOT
DATES ON THEM.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA HAVE
GARCIA RUN THESE DATES
AGAINST HIS WHEREABOUTS.
I MEAN, EITHER QUINN'S
THE UNLUCKIEST AGENT
IN THE HISTORY OF
THE BUREAU, OR...
HE'S THE GUILTIEST.
HI. ARE YOU SHANE?
YEAH.
I'M SSA JENNIFER JAREAU
WITH THE FBI.
THIS IS SSA
MATT SIMMONS.
IS YOUR MOM HOME?
MOM?
I KNEW IT. I JUST KNEW.
KNEW WHAT?
THAT HE WOULDN'T
WALK OUT ON US,
LIKE MOM SAID.
HE WAS A GREAT DAD.
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.
SO... CAN I SEE HIM?
WELL, THAT'S WHY
WE'RE HERE.
UM...
BUT WE NEED TO WARN YOU
THAT HE MIGHT NOT BE
THE SAME MAN
THAT YOU REMEMBER.
WHY?
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
WHAT HAPPENED
TO HIM?
WHAT ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?
WHAT DID HAPPEN?
HE BECAME OBSESSED
WITH THAT CASE.
THE STRANGLER?
HE STARTED THINKING
LIKE HIM.
HE SAID THAT'S HOW
HE'D GET INTO THE
MIND OF A MADMAN.
IT ENDED WITH HIM...
DID HE HURT YOU?
NO...
BUT HE WANTED TO.
HE WANTED TO...
CHOKE ME,
TO KNOW HOW IT FELT.
HE KEPT ASKING,
DEMANDING...
SO I KICKED HIM
OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I FILED FOR DIVORCE,
AND I NEVER
SAW HIM AGAIN.
SHANE IS OFFERING
TO COOPERATE.
NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!
WELL, HE'S 18, AND HE
DOESN'T NEED ANYONE'S
PERMISSION.
FINE. LET ME GRAB
MY PURSE.
ALL RIGHT, OWEN.
I WANT YOU TO PAINT ME
A PICTURE,
AND I WANT YOU TO JUST
FOCUS ON THE DETAILS...
OK, THE MUNDANE,
THE DAY-IN AND THE DAY-OUT.
IT'S GONNA KEEP YOU
FROM FEELING OVERWHELMED.
DID THEY KEEP YOU IN
THE LIVING ROOM FOR
THE ENTIRE YEAR?
NO.
THEY MOVED ME...
TO THE BASEMENT.
ALL RIGHT, DESCRIBE
THE BASEMENT.
COLD...
NO WINDOWS...
ECHO-Y...
BECAUSE I SCREAMED,
SCREAMED SO MUCH.
HOW DID THEY FEED YOU?
THEO DID.
PLEASE, DON'T GO.
DON'T GO.
I HAVE TO.
THEY'LL GET SUSPICIOUS.
WAS THERE A TOILET?
THERE WAS A BUCKET.
I KNEW A NEW DAY HAD
BEGUN WHEN THEY WOULD
COME DOWNSTAIRS
AND ASK ME
THE SAME QUESTIONS.
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
WHAT DID WE GIVE AWAY?
HOW'D YOU DO IT?
TELL US, QUINN.
TELL US, AND WE'LL
STOP HURTING YOU.
TELL US, SO WE CAN
GET AWAY WITH MURDER.
THEY WERE ALREADY
GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER.
AND YOU'RE NOT A PROFILER;
YOU WERE IN ViCAP.
MAYBE I HAD VALUE
AS A HOSTAGE.
I DON'T KNOW.
GOD, HER PERFUME...
IT ALMOST CHOKED ME,
IT WAS SO STRONG.
WHOSE PERFUME?
THE WIFE'S? WHAT
DID IT SMELL LIKE?
I CAN'T...
I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT.
OWEN, YOU JUST SAID
IT CHOKED YOU. WHY
CAN'T YOU DESCRIBE IT?
WHAT, DO YOU THINK
I'M LYING? DO YOU
THINK I DID THIS?
NO. YOU KNOW WHAT
I THINK, OWEN?
I THINK THAT YOU
HAVEN'T GIVEN ME
A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE
THAT VALIDATES YOUR STORY.
EVIDENCE?
HERE'S MY EVIDENCE.
ALL RIGHT. THEO.
THEO. THEIR SON.
YOU SAID THAT HE
TREATED YOU LIKE A HUMAN.
YES.
HE TALKED TO ME.
WHAT DID HE TALK
TO YOU ABOUT?
COLLEGE.
WHICH ONE?
I DON'T KNOW.
IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT YOU DO KNOW?
I ASKED HIM.
HE WOULDN'T TELL ME.
INSTEAD, HE'D ASK ME
QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS
COURSEWORK.
"HOW DO YOU FIND
AN ANCHOR POINT
IN A GEOPROFILE?"
"WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FIXATED AND
REGRESSIVE TYPOLOGY?"
HE WAS TAKING CLASSES
IN PROFILING.
DID HE ASK YOU ABOUT
RE-OFFENSE STATISTICS
FOR FEMALE
SEXUAL OFFENDERS?
YES! EXACTLY.
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE I TAUGHT IT.
THEO WAS IN MY CLASS
AT MARBURY UNIVERSITY.
THAT'S HOW HE GOT MY E-MAIL.
I INCLUDED IT IN THE SYLLABUS.
OK... THERE ARE 9
THEO AND THEODORES
ENROLLED AT MARBURY.
NONE OF THEM
ARE ENROLLED
IN YOUR CLASS.
TOO MUCH
OF A PAPER TRAIL.
HE WAS MOST LIKELY
JUST AUDITING.
REID, FAINTLY: IT'S EXPERIENCE
BY AN OFFENDER THAT PRECIPITATES
SUBSEQUENT BEHAVIOR,
WHEREAS A STRESSOR
IS A LONGER-TERM PATTERN
OF BEHAVIOR OR
CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH PUSH
A PERSON INTO BEHAVING
DIFFERENTLY THAN
THEY NORMALLY WOULD.
HIM.
THEO HOLSTON.
ON IT.
OK, GUYS, LET'S
TALK THIS THROUGH.
WE NEED TO MAKE
THIS MAKE SENSE.
WELL, ONE THEORY IS
THAT QUINN HAS BEEN
THE KILLER ALL ALONG.
THEO SOMEHOW TRAPPED HIM,
LEFT HIM IN THE STORAGE
UNIT FOR ME TO FIND,
AND QUINN'S POST-TRAUMATIC
DECOMPENSATION ACT
IS JUST THAT... IT'S AN ACT.
HIS BEHAVIOR DOESN'T
MATCH SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN
TRAUMATIZED FOR A YEAR.
OR QUINN'S TELLING
THE TRUTH.
THEO PUT HIM IN THERE
TO FRAME HIM,
PROBABLY UNDER
HIS PARENTS' ORDERS.
OK. THEO HOLSTON'S PARENTS
ARE JERRY AND DONNA HOLSTON.
JERRY IS AN INSURANCE
SALESMAN, JUST GOT
"EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH."
DONNA'S A HOUSEWIFE,
NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
NOT EXACTLY
THE PSYCHOPATHIC TEAM
THAT QUINN PAINTED.
ALEXANDRIA'S
A SHORT DRIVE.
REID, I WANT YOU
TO STAND DOWN.
ALVEZ AND SIMMONS
WILL LEAD ON THIS.
OPEN DOOR RIGHT!
START YOUR
SEARCH.
REAR OF THE HOUSE IS CLEAR.
WE'RE CLEAR.
OVER HERE.
HEY, LUKE!
LOOKS LIKE
HE CHANGED HIS M.O.
WHERE'S THEO?
THAT'S A .40 CALIBER
SHELL.
THAT WAS QUINN'S
PERSONAL BACKUP WEAPON.
HE KEPT IT EVEN AFTER
HE TURNED IN HIS BADGE.
SO, WHOEVER KILLED
THESE TWO...
THEY USED QUINN'S GUN
TO DO IT.
THANKS.
APPRECIATE IT.
SO, THE LANDS
AND GROOVES MATCH
TO QUINN'S GUN?
YEAH, THEY DO.
YOU THINK
HE DID IT?
WE'VE GOT WHAT
HIS WIFE SAID ABOUT HIM.
BONES ALL AROUND HIM,
HIS GUN USED TO KILL
ALL THE VICTIMS
IN THE BASEMENT?
UM, YEAH.
HOW DO YOU SQUARE
THE FACT THAT
THEIR KID WENT TO
REID'S CLASS?
THAT'S A HELL OF
A COINCIDENCE.
HE'S ALMOST CERTAINLY
THE ONE THAT PUT QUINN
IN THE STORAGE UNIT.
I MEAN, WHEN WE DO FIND
HIM, WE CAN ASK HIM WHY.
BY THE WAY, AREN'T
YOU THE ONE THAT THOUGHT
QUINN WAS PLAYING US?
YEAH, THAT WAS ME.
THIS CASE...
DOESN'T ADD UP.
LIKE THE COMMENT
QUINN SAID TO REID.
"HER PERFUME...
IT CHOKED ME.
IT WAS SO STRONG."
LINGUISTIC PROFILE
WOULD CALL THAT LEAKAGE.
I MEAN, THE USE
OF THE WORD "CHOKE,"
IT'S A SUBCONSCIOUS
ADMISSION OF GUILT.
THEY INVENTORIED
THIS WHOLE PLACE.
THERE WASN'T A DROP
OF PERFUME IN IT.
DOESN'T ADD UP.
COME IN.
HI.
AGENT PRENTISS?
I'M SPECIAL
AGENT MEADOWS.
FROM ViCAP?
I HAVE OWEN'S... UH,
AGENT QUINN'S FILE
ON THE STRANGLER
THAT YOU REQUESTED.
THANK YOU.
MARY, RIGHT?
RIGHT THERE IS FINE.
UM, I'M SORRY,
BUT I HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY,
AND IT'S NOT JUST ME.
CLOSE THE DOOR.
WELL, ROSSI'S ON ONE OF HIS
"DOESN'T ADD UP" TEARS.
UH-OH.
YEAH.
I'M GUESSING HE'S
NOT THE ONLY ONE.
CAN'T SEE IT...
IN THIS CASE.
I MEAN, IS HE A SUSPECT,
OR IS HE A VICTIM?
THE WORST PART IS,
I CAN'T SEE WHY
I CAN'T SEE IT.
I DON'T REMEMBER
QUINN QUITTING.
ONE DAY HE WAS HERE,
THE NEXT HE WASN'T.
SO... I WENT BACK TO
SEE WHEN THAT WAS,
AND I FOUND OUT
IT WAS 2 WEEKS AFTER
YOU WERE ARRESTED
FOR MURDER.
YOU KNEW THAT,
DIDN'T YOU?
IT'S NOT CONNECTED.
BUT YOUR RATIONAL BRAIN
IS TELLING YOU THAT,
AND THAT PART'S RIGHT.
I ALSO KNOW THERE IS
A PART OF YOU
THAT YOU DON'T
SHOW ANYONE.
AND THAT PART OF YOU
IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHY DID SPENCER REID
GET OUT OF HIS PRISON,
YOU KNOW,
WHEN QUINN DIDN'T.
THE ANSWER IS FAMILY...
THIS FAMILY...
WE FOUGHT
TO GET YOU OUT OF THERE,
THE SAME WAY WE FOUGHT
TO SAVE PRENTISS
FROM MR. SCRATCH.
WE FOUGHT TO SAVE
THIS TEAM FROM
GETTING SHUT DOWN.
AND NOW, FAMILY WILL
HELP US FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE'RE MISSING.
HOW?
QUINN'S FAMILY
IS DOWNSTAIRS.
HOW HE RESPONDS TO
THEM COULD REALLY
TELL US WHO HE IS.
NO!
JUST DON'T.
ALL RIGHT.
DAD.
I THOUGHT I'D
NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM!
NO, WAIT!
DON'T! THEO!
MOM!
WHO'S THEO? WHO'S THEO?
- THEO!
- WHO'S THEO?
OK, WE ALL WANT A PROFILE
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING,
WRAPS EVERYTHING UP
NEATLY, BUT WE DON'T
HAVE THAT HERE.
SO, INSTEAD,
I'D LIKE TO HEAR
EVERYONE'S BEST THEORIES,
AND WE'RE GONNA REBUILD THIS
CASE FROM THE GROUND UP.
WELL, QUINN AS
THE STRANGLER STILL GETS
MY VOTE.
I MEAN, START WITH
HOW HE TREATED HIS WIFE.
IT'S TEXTBOOK
PRECURSOR BEHAVIOR.
OK, THEN WHEN
HE WORKED HERE,
HE DID HIS BEST
TO THROW US OFF.
AND WHEN HE FELT
CONFIDENT HE COULD
GET AWAY WITH IT,
HE QUIT TO KILL
WITH IMPUNITY.
UNTIL THEO CAUGHT HIM
FOR US.
THAT'S WHERE I TAP OUT.
A 19-YEAR-OLD KID
GETS THE DROP
ON AN EXPERIENCED
FBI AGENT?
THE AGENT'S ALSO
A SERIAL KILLER
WHO JUST KILLED THE
KID'S PARENTS? NO.
SO WHAT'S YOUR
THEORY, ROSSI?
I DON'T HAVE ONE.
LET'S
CONSIDER THIS.
QUINN JUST CALLED
HIS OWN SON "THEO."
CLASSIC EXAMPLE
OF PARAPRAXIS.
A FREUDIAN
SLIP.
LITERALLY DEFINED
AS AN UNCONSCIOUS WISH
OR SUBDUED DESIRE.
SO, WHY, IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN EMOTIONAL RECONNECTION
WITH HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD
WOULD HE CALL OUT
SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME?
HE BUILT
A BOND WITH THEO.
THAT MAY BE BORN
FROM STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?
COULD YOU ALL
FOLLOW ME, PLEASE?
YOU ALL KNOW THE ViCAP
TEAM FROM THE 5th FLOOR?
ONCE THEY HEARD ABOUT
OUR INVESTIGATION,
THEY ASKED US TO CONSIDER
SOME NEW INFORMATION
ABOUT QUINN.
GO AHEAD, MARY.
WE JUST... WE WANTED
TO SAY WE WORKED
WITH OWEN,
SIDE-BY-SIDE, AND...
HE WASN'T A KILLER.
ECCENTRIC,
MAYBE OBSESSED,
BUT NOT A KILLER.
I SAT NEXT
TO HIM FOR 3 YEARS.
HE WAS A DEDICATED
PUBLIC SERVANT.
HE BELIEVED IN WHAT
WE DID HERE.
WELL, IF HE WAS
SO DEDICATED TO THE FBI,
THEN WHY DID HE QUIT?
HE THOUGHT
HE COULD SAVE LIVES.
HE COULDN'T JUST
LET THE STRANGLER
KEEP KILLING.
AND THE VICTIMS
HE THOUGHT HE FOUND,
THEY WERE COLLEGE-AGE KIDS,
A LITTLE OLDER THAN
HIS OWN SON.
HE COULDN'T STAND
THE IDEA OF THOSE PARENTS
NOT KNOWING WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEIR CHILD.
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, THE
UNSUB'S HUNTING GROUND...
NEW HAVEN, NEW ROCHELLE,
NEW BRUNSWICK...
HE WAS RIGHT ON.
AND WE GET IT.
WE'RE NOT THE
PROFILERS. YOU ARE.
BUT IF HE WAS A PSYCHOPATH,
WE WOULD HAVE NOTICED.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT
WE TAKE QUINN'S STORY
AT FACE VALUE.
WHAT DOES THAT
LEAVE US WITH?
THEO.
MAYBE HE'S NOT A KILLER,
BUT HE'S INVOLVED,
AND HE'S GONE
OUT OF HIS WAY TO
STAY OFF OUR RADAR.
HEY, GARCIA, LOOK UP
THEO'S CLASSMATES
AT MARBURY,
AND FOCUS ON
THE NAME "APRIL."
ACCORDING TO QUINN, THAT
WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND'S NAME.
THEY HAVE MET ON CAMPUS.
HELLO, GORGEOUS.
APRIL PEARSON TOOK A
LINGUISTICS CLASS WITH THEO.
SHE LIVES IN AN APARTMENT
JUST OFF-CAMPUS...
WHICH SHE JUST MOVED OUT OF.
WELL, THAT WOULD
EXPLAIN THE ADDITIONAL
BELONGINGS
WE FOUND AT THE
STORAGE UNIT WITH QUINN.
OK, WE NEED TO FIND HER.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I NEED TO TALK TO HIM.
WHERE IS APRIL?
WHO?
THEO DIDN'T JUST HIDE YOU.
HE HID HER, TOO.
WHERE IS SHE?
I HAD TO.
WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
THE PERFUME...
HOW IT WAS SO STRONG,
IT CHOKED YOU...
YOU WEREN'T TALKING
ABOUT THE WIFE.
YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT APRIL.
WHAT?
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S TIME FOR
THEO'S FINAL TEST.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
DAD! DAD, NO!
OH, JUST
AS WE THOUGHT.
YOU TURNED HIM INTO
YOUR PET, HAVEN'T YOU?
WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS?
BECAUSE IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO MAKE A CHOICE...
A CHOICE THAT STARTS
WITH THE ACCEPTANCE
THAT THERE IS A KILLER
INSIDE EVERYONE. EVERYONE.
HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.
KILL THE GIRL.
SHE'S STANDING IN THE WAY
OF OUR SON'S POTENTIAL.
NO!
THEN WE WILL
KILL THEO,
THEN HER,
THEN YOU.
I'M SORRY.
AGGGHH!
THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
I WOKE UP IN THE STORAGE UNIT.
WE FOUND YOUR CAPTORS
DEAD IN THE BASEMENT.
I THINK I KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.
CAN WE DO IT
QUICKLY, AT LEAST?
THAT'S WHY THEO'S
IN HIDING FROM US.
HE KILLED HIS OWN PARENTS.
GARCIA JUST MATCHED
JERRY HOLSTON'S
TRAVEL FOR WORK
WITH ABDUCTIONS
IN NEW LONDON, NEW HAVEN,
AND NEW ROCHELLE.
THE DATES ON THE BONES
WERE A PERFECT MATCH.
YOU WERE TELLING US
THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TIME,
AND THEO WAS GIVING US
THE EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT.
EXCEPT THEO WAS RAISED
BY TWO PSYCHOPATHS.
AND NOW THAT
HE'S KILLED THEM...
WHO KNOWS WHAT
HE'S GONNA DO NEXT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
SHE WON'T SLEEP?
OK, OK, WE'VE...
YEAH. PUT HER ON THE PHONE.
HI, HONEY.
MOM SAYS YOU DON'T
WANT TO GO TO SLEEP.
WHAT'S... WHAT'S... WHY
NOT? TELL YOU WHAT.
YOU GO TO SLEEP
RIGHT NOW,
'CAUSE
TOMORROW MORNING
WHEN YOU WAKE UP...
EXCUSE ME.
CAN YOU TELL ME...
UHH!
UHH... UHH...
UHH...
UHH!
SECURITY FOOTAGE
POSITIVELY IDd THEO.
HE'S DEFINITELY
OUR GUNMAN.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'M THINKING BANG
AND THEN BANG...
VICTIM NUMBER 2 FALLS HERE.
THEO WALKS UP,
PULLS THE TRIGGER
WITH NO HESITATION.
COLD.
POST-TRAUMATIC
SNAP, MAYBE.
YOU KNOW, THEO
FELT THREATENED.
SOMETHING HIS PARENTS DID
REMINDED HIM OF THAT,
AND IT FITS THE PROFILE.
POOR GUY TRIED TO
CRAWL AWAY.
QUINN SAID THE
STRANGLER'S WIFE BURNED
OFF HIS FINGERPRINTS.
BUT AM I CRAZY,
OR IS THIS GUY
MISSING THEM, TOO?
TARA'S NOT CRAZY.
ACCORDING TO THE M.E.,
BOTH VICTIMS HAD
THEIR PRINTS BURNED OFF,
MOST LIKELY WITH
HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
SO, WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THESE TWO?
OH, NO WALLETS,
NO CELL PHONE ON HIM.
WE LOOKED OVER HIS PHONE.
HADN'T BEEN ACTIVATED.
HE HAD AN EARBUD IN.
THEY'RE FAKING IT.
SO THESE VICTIMS
WEREN'T RANDOM AT ALL.
THEY WERE
STALKING THEO.
WITHOUT WEAPONS.
SO, THE PLAN MUST HAVE
BEEN TO OVERWHELM HIM,
TAKE HIM TO
A SECONDARY LOCATION.
BUT THIS APPROACH...
THE 2-ON-1, NO IDs,
IT FEELS ALMOST
PARAMILITARY.
BUT WHAT PARAMILITARY
GROUP WOULD BURN OFF
FINGERPRINTS
AND INVITE A HUSBAND-
AND-WIFE KILLING TEAM IN?
WELL, WHOEVER THEY ARE,
THEY ARE THE REASON THAT
THEO'S BEEN SO HARD TO FIND.
HE'S NOT HIDING FROM US.
HE'S HIDING FROM THEM.
HELP ME PROFILE THIS.
LET'S START WITH APRIL.
TELL ME EVERYTHING
YOU CAN ABOUT HER.
I CAN ONLY TELL YOU
WHAT THEO FELT SAFE
TELLING ME.
THAT WAS THAT YOUNG
LOVE, YOU KNOW,
THE KIND YOU ONLY
FEEL WHEN YOU'RE
19 OR 20.
MADE ME WONDER
IF I'D SURVIVE TO
SEE MY SON THAT HAPPY.
THAT'S WHY SHE WAS
A THREAT TO THEO'S PARENTS.
SHE SHOWED HIM THAT THERE
WAS A WORLD OUTSIDE OF
THEIR INSANITY.
TO DO THAT, SHE...
WHAT?
WHEN WE FOUND YOU
IN THE STORAGE UNIT,
YOU WERE SURROUNDED
BY HER THINGS.
THAT TELLS ME THAT
THEO DIDN'T JUST
DO THIS FOR YOU.
I SUPPOSE.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT
HIS STATE OF MIND RIGHT NOW.
HE HAS NO RESOURCES,
HE HAS NO PLACE TO GO,
EXCEPT SOMEPLACE
WHERE HE KNOWS
HE'LL NEVER BE FOUND.
A PLACE SHE SHOWED HIM.
HE SAVED HER LIFE.
NOW SHE'S GONNA SAVE HIS.
IF THEY'RE ON THE RUN
FROM SOME GROUP THAT'S
HUNTING THEM,
THEY WOULDN'T GO TO
A PLACE TIED TO HIS
HISTORY.
NO. THEY'D GO TO A PLACE
TIED TO HERS.
GARCIA, WHAT DIRECTION
WAS THAT TRAIN GOING?
UH, THE BLUE LINE... SOUTH.
IT TERMINATES
IN SPRINGFIELD.
LOOK FOR ANY CONNECTION
TO HER IN THAT AREA...
A SECOND APARTMENT,
A FAMILY HOME.
IF YOU CAN'T
FIND ANYTHING,
KEEP GOING SOUTH.
BOOYAH.
APRIL'S GRANDFATHER
OWNS A CABIN ON LAKE ACCOTINK.
GOOD PLACE TO HIDE OUT
FROM WHOEVER'S STILL
AFTER THEM.
WE CAN GET TO THEM
FIRST.
WE CAN, BUT WE HAVE TO
KEEP SWAT OUTSIDE THE DOOR.
THEO AND APRIL ARE PARANOID,
BELIEVING CORRECTLY THAT
THEY'RE BEING HUNTED.
WE HAVE TO DEFUSE THEM.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?
THEO, IT'S ME.
YOU GOT MY MESSAGE?
I DID, YES.
YOU MADE IT!
DID YOU GET THEM,
ALL OF THEM?
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
WE'RE SAFE IS IF
THEY'RE ALL GONE.
ALL OF WHOM?
OH, MY GOD!
YOU DON'T KNOW.
THEO, THEY DON'T KNOW!
HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?
I LEFT YOU ALL THE CLUES
IN THE STORAGE UNIT.
WE KNOW YOUR FATHER
WAS THE STRANGLER
AND THAT HE KILLED 7 VICTIMS,
AND WE KNOW THAT YOUR
MOTHER HELPED.
NO, NO.
HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS?
HOW COULD YOU MISS THIS?
WHAT DID WE MISS?
MY FATHER DIDN'T
KILL THEM.
HE ABDUCTED THEM,
AND THEN HE HANDED THEM
OVER TO THE MESSIAH.
THE MESSIAH?
AND THEN THE
MESSIAH WOULD KILL THEM
IN FRONT OF US,
HIS FOLLOWERS,
TO INSPIRE US.
DON'T YOU SEE? THIS
ISN'T ONE SERIAL KILLER
OR A COUPLE.
IT'S A CULT.
IT'S OK. IT'S OK.
IT'S OK.
PROVE YOUR ALLEGIANCE.
UHH!
AAH! AAH!
AAAAHH! AAAHHH!
GOOD.
NOW LISTEN CLOSELY
BECAUSE THE END IS NIGH.
GIVE ME A SENSE
OF HOW BIG THIS CULT IS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE
ARE IN IT?
I NEVER SAW MORE THAN
A HANDFUL OF 'EM AT A TIME.
THE FACES ALWAYS CHANGED.
THAT'S HOW THE MESSIAH
LIKED IT.
AND THIS MESSIAH...
WHO IS HE?
HIS NAME IS
BENJAMIN MERVA.
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS GROUP?
WHAT DO THEY CALL THEMSELVES?
THE BELIEVERS,
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE
THEY COULD
INHERIT THE EARTH.
YOU KNOW ABOUT
ANY OF THIS?
NO. NOTHING.
COULD YOU DO
SOMETHING FOR ME,
WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER?
THE BELIEVERS WERE
A SMALL GROUP OBSESSED
WITH THE END TIMES,
SIMILAR TO HEAVEN'S GATE.
VIOLENT?
JUST THE OPPOSITE.
THEY PREPARED THEMSELVES
BY FASTING, MEDITATION,
GIVING AWAY THEIR
EARTHLY POSSESSIONS.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE...
THE HOLSTONS JOINING UP
WITH A GROUP THAT ARE
BASICALLY A BUNCH
OF PACIFISTS.
MAYBE THEY
STOPPED BEING PACIFISTS
AFTER THEIR PREDICTION
ABOUT THE END OF THE
WORLD DIDN'T COME TRUE.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHEN A CULT
WOULD TEND TO DESTABILIZE,
AND IT'S EASIER FOR A VIOLENT
OR CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY
TO TAKE OVER.
THE MESSIAH NEEDS TO
BE OUR FOCUS.
WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT HIM?
HE HAS NO CRIMINAL
OR ONLINE RECORD.
I'M SEARCHING FOR LOCATIONS
TIED TO HIM NOW.
IF HE KILLED 7 PEOPLE,
HE'S PROBABLY KEEPING
A LOW PROFILE.
YEAH, BUT
HE'S STILL ATTRACTING
FOLLOWERS SOMEHOW,
MOST LIKELY MEN WHO GET
TURNED ON BY WATCHING
HIM KILL IN FRONT
OF AN AUDIENCE.
SO, IT'S NOT
JUST A CULT.
IT'S A CULT OF
POTENTIAL SERIAL
KILLERS.
EXACTLY THE KIND
OF CROWD THEO'S PARENTS
WOULD WANT TO HANG OUT WITH.
GARCIA, CAN YOU
POINT US IN A DIRECTION
WHERE MERVA WOULD BE NOW?
YEAH. HE BOUGHT A WAREHOUSE
ON THE EDGE OF THE DISTRICT.
NOT THE KIND OF
PLACE I'D GO TO CHURCH,
BUT IDEAL IF HUMAN SACRIFICE
IS YOUR THING.
IF WE CAN ARREST
THE CULT LEADER,
WE CAN STOP
THE CULT. LET'S GO.
SHH...
FBI!
SHOW US YOUR HANDS.
BENJAMIN DAVID MERVA,
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST
FOR THE MURDER
OF 7 PEOPLE.
WHERE ARE YOUR
FOLLOWERS, BEN?
OH, I HAVE NO FOLLOWERS...
ONLY STUDENTS.
AND WHAT YOU SEE
IS ALL I HAVE.
MAY I HAVE
EVERYONE'S ATTENTION?
METRO P.D. AND THE BUREAU
HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE
OF THE BELIEVERS
AND POSSIBLE ACTIVITY
FOLLOWING THEIR
LEADER'S ARREST,
BUT TAKING THEO
AT HIS WORD...
WELL, WE ARRESTED 3. THERE'S
PROBABLY MORE OUT THERE.
BUT IF THEY FOLLOW
CULT DYNAMICS,
THEY'LL BREAK DOWN
WITHOUT THE MESSIAH.
TYPICAL CULT. YOU THINK
IT'S A CAST OF THOUSANDS,
WHEN REALLY IT'S JUST
4 WACKOS SITTING AROUND
IN THE DARK.
I THINK WE DESERVE
SOME DECOMPRESSION TIME,
AND ROSSI IS KIND
ENOUGH TO HOST.
AND I HAVE
SOME TOP-SHELF WINE
PICKED
JUST FOR THE OCCASION.
YES! OK, I HAVE TO DO
A SYSTEMS CHECK.
PLEASE DO NOT HAVE
TOO MUCH FUN WITHOUT ME.
♪ I WILL
MEET YOU ALL THERE ♪
UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T
THINK I'M GONNA BE ABLE
TO MAKE IT TONIGHT.
TELL ME NOT TO WORRY.
DON'T. I'M GOOD.
I'M REALLY GOOD.
OK. WELL...
IT'S NOT FAMILY
WITHOUT YOU THERE.
I KNOW. THERE'S ANOTHER
FAMILY THAT COULD USE
MY HELP RIGHT NOW.
AH.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
IT'S FOR ALL THE TIMES
YOU WORRIED ABOUT ME.
I NEVER SAID THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
IS MY DAD COMING?
HE'S FINISHING UP
HIS FINAL DEBRIEF
INTERVIEW.
I'LL KEEP YOU COMPANY
UNTIL HE COMES DOWN.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT
HAPPENED TO HIM NOW?
FIRST THING THAT
YOU NEED TO KNOW IS
THAT YOUR FATHER
IS A HERO.
- OK.
- IT'S TRUE.
SHUT UP.
IT'S TRUE!
THERE ARE ACTUAL
SEXUAL POSITIONS
THAT PRODUCE
UGLY BABIES?
YES. IT'S BEEN PROVEN.
WELL, BY WHO?
YOUR MOM?
OH HO! ALL RIGHT.
YOU WANT A WAR?
I WILL BRING IT.
IT'S ON.
COME AT ME, BRO.
EMILY, PLEASE.
LET IT GO.
I KNOW. MAYBE IT'S
THE CURSE OF BEING
TEAM LEADER,
BUT SOMETHING IS
BUGGING ME ABOUT THIS.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT BUGS ME.
WE FOUND A CULT LEADER
BUT NO CULT.
THAT'S NOT IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S IT,
BUT THAT'S NOT IT.
WELL, WHAT IS IT,
THEN?
IN THE WAREHOUSE
WHERE WE ARRESTED
THE MESSIAH,
THERE WERE THESE
PETRI DISHES ON THE FLOOR
FILLED WITH
HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
PERFECT FOR
BURNING OFF FINGERPRINTS.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT THE
DRUG LORD EL CHAPO DID
IN MEXICO.
AND BASED ON
THE TWO DEAD GUYS
IN THE SUBWAY,
MAYBE THAT WAS
THEIR INITIATION.
YOU WANT TO JOIN,
YOU BURN OFF
YOUR FINGERPRINTS.
WHERE YOU GOING
WITH THIS?
IT'S JUST ONE
NAGGING QUESTION.
WHY DID THEY BURN OFF
QUINN'S FINGERPRINTS?
WELL, THEY
TORTURED HIM.
WITH THEIR
INITIATION RITE?
I MEAN, MAYBE, BUT...
OR MAYBE WE SOMEHOW
MISREAD QUINN ALL THIS TIME.
MAYBE THERE WAS CULT PROGRAMMING
THEO DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT.
WHAT IF THEY
DID CONVERT HIM?
AND WE LEFT HIM
IN THE BUILDING
WHERE THE MESSIAH IS
BEING HELD IN CUSTODY.
ALL RIGHT,
I'LL CALL SPENCE AND GARCIA.
GUYS, WE NEED TO GET BACK
TO QUANTICO RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT THIS WAY,
OWEN.
YOUR SON IS WAITING
FOR YOU DOWNSTAIRS.
OH, WAIT!
UH...
THIS PHONE, THIS PHONE,
THIS PHONE.
J.J.?
I AM ON MY WAY.
ARGH! LOST HER.
SO, I WILL TEXT.
"J.J.,
I'M ON MY WAY."
I KNEW YOU DIDN'T
DO IT. I JUST KNEW.
AND I CAN'T TELL YOU
WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT'S BEEN
WORKING WITH THE A-TEAM
ON THIS CASE.
"A-TEAM"?
OHH... A-TEAM.
AND OWEN, IF WE
TIME THIS RIGHT,
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY
GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE THE SUNRISE.
DRAW YOUR GUN.
WHAT?
DRAW YOUR GUN!
HEY, J.J., WHAT'S UP?
WHAT WAS THAT?
STAY HERE.
PUT YOUR HANDS UP,
QUINN!
WHAT HAPPENED?
IT'S HER.
WHAT?
SHE'S ONE OF THEM.
DROP YOUR
GUN, AGENT REID.
IT'S BEEN YOU
THE WHOLE TIME.
YES, IT WAS.
QUINN SOMEHOW
FIGURED IT OUT FIRST.
PITY HAVING TO
SHOOT HIM,
BUT HE CAN'T GIVE ME
WHAT I WANT,
AND YOU CAN.
WHAT'S THAT?
YOU AND I ARE
GONNA GO UPSTAIRS
AND FREE MY MESSIAH.
YOU'RE IN THE HEART
OF THE FBI.
AS SOON AS THE REST
OF MY TEAM FIGURES
OUT IT'S YOU,
YOU'LL BE DEAD BEFORE
YOU'RE OUT THE DOOR.
THEN WE NEED TO
WORK QUICKLY.
I'M NOT COOPERATING
WITH YOU. MIGHT AS
WELL SHOOT ME.
I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
NOW, WHAT'S IT
GONNA BE?
BECAUSE YOU CAN
EITHER JOIN US,
OR SHE DIES.
SPENCER, JUST SHOOT HER!
SHOOT HER!
