Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 5 - Lucky Strikes - full transcript
When Garcia experiences anxiety over a case that's personal to her from her past, Morgan visits to lend emotional support.
[Indistinct song playing in car]
_
- [Music stops]
- Woman: Oh, god.
This place is ratchet.
Boy: The sign said "under construction."
That's just to keep the people away.
The workers still have to
use the bathroom, don't they?
And I can't hold it anymore.
This is totally like one
of those horror movies
where the killer's hiding in
the bushes with a chainsaw.
Would you please stop?
Come with me.
Are you crazy?
I can tell from here it's
going to smell like a sewer.
I'll sneak in with you.
To the bathroom?
So it's a maybe?
You sure you don't want
me to come in with you?
No, I got it. I got it.
All right.
Baaahhh!
[Laughing]
I hate you.
Just let her use the
bathroom so we can be gone.
Ohh...
I wouldn't go in there.
Wash your hands before
you come back out.
[Screaming]
We got a call from
Bridgewater, Florida, PD.
The body of Rebecca Strong
was found last night
in a rest stop women's room
with and without things.
Whoa.
Yeah, and then it gets worse.
All the telltale signs are here.
Rossi: Pentagram, legs and fingers gone.
Prentiss: There's even one neat aspect.
Her earrings and jewelry are laid out
equidistant on the floor.
Sure as hell looks like him.
Looks like who?
Floyd Feylinn Ferell.
Reid: A psychotic
cannibal who'd been killing
under the radar for years.
Prentiss: He killed 10 prostitutes
then moved up to low-risk victims.
He kept slipping through the
cracks and avoiding justice
so people referred to him as lucky.
The worst of it was he
owned a barbecue joint,
and he fed one of the
victims to the search party.
That is a very...
[Garcia closes tablet]
I... I have a computer...
Was it something I said?
No. That's not you.
Um... We were working Ferell's case
when she was shot.
Garcia was shot?
10 years ago.
Happened right in front
of her apartment building.
Was it a random act of violence?
No, he lured her
into dating him before she IDed him.
Turns out, he was a dirty
cop named Colby Baylor
and she was getting
close to exposing him.
So he shot her.
Where is he now?
He's dead.
Good.
Let's just give her a few minutes.
Tara, what were you saying?
Projected cannibalism.
The act of inducing others to
consume human flesh unknowingly.
You do not see that very often.
Well, projection seems
to be a thing for Ferell.
He fed the fingers of 10
previous victims to a later one.
His way of telling us
he was 10 victims deep
before we even knew he existed.
You think he's back?
Not unless he really
lives up to his nickname.
He's been locked up in the Hazelwood
psychiatric hospital
for the past 10 years.
Well, then it's a copycat
wanting to ride the wave of horror
left in Ferell's wake.
Statistically, copycat killers
tend to be vulnerable narcissists.
Though overtly boastful,
they harbor deep-seated
feelings of inadequacy.
Emulating notorious crimes
makes them feel powerful.
Rossi: Ferell was found
to be mentally incapable
of assisting in his own defense,
so, he skated without a trial.
Prentiss: If this unsub
is anything like Ferell,
he's got a taste for it.
And copycats typically
don't stop after one victim.
Wheels up in 20.
JJ, can I talk to you for a second?
[Door buzzes open]
[Door buzzes open]
Dinnertime, Floyd.
Sausage links. Your favorite.
Come on, Floyd, you must have worked up
an appetite over the weekend.
Not tonight.
I'm already full.
Garcia: "I like to
turn things upside down"
to see pictures and situations
from another perspective."
Ursus Wehrli.
Garcia: The rest stop victim, Rebecca
Strong, was a sex trade worker.
High risk, like the early victims
Ferell preyed on back in 2007.
Rossi: After that, he
graduated to low-risk victims
like Sheryl Timmons, who's
also the only known survivor.
Garcia, track down Sheryl.
On it.
What was Rebecca like as a person?
She's described as
strong-willed, determined.
Working to support her two kids.
When was Rebecca last seen?
Well, her boyfriend, and
by boyfriend I mean pimp,
Jason Carlsbad, reported her missing
when she didn't show up and
donate to his college fund.
I'm sending you deets right now.
Normally, I would want to look at him.
Pimps hurt women they
exploit to gain control,
but an M.O. this complex doesn't add up.
Alvez: Yeah, the cannibalism
angle wouldn't make sense either.
Eroticizing the
consumption of human flesh
is a pretty specific fetish.
Are we sure that he's
copying that from Ferell?
We need to nail that down. Dave, Tara,
go to the M.E.'s office.
Matt and Spencer, head
to Hazelwood State.
Notorious criminals have fans
who might want to copy their work.
Luke, you and I will head to the PD
and set up a base of
operations with Detective Russ.
[Breathing hard]
Baylor: Hey, Garcia.
I've been thinking about
doing this all night.
[Gunshot]
Get it together, kid, get it together.
[Breathing deeply]
Ok.
Oh, great. I was just coming for you.
So I have the handwritten notes...
Hey. Um, you know,
we can call in someone
else to work this case.
No, there's no reason
to do that. Why...
You stayed behind
'cause of me, didn't you?
Emily and I were worried.
Ohh...
I... I guess...
I guess I thought, I don't know,
I thought I'd gotten over it by now.
We were working this
case when you got shot.
It was the biggest physical
trauma you've ever had.
It's only natural that dredging up one
would trigger memories of the other.
Ok. Like I put it in a box. I let it go.
Really?
You know it doesn't
work that way, right?
You know what? It's been 10 years,
so, enough time for the wounds to heal.
And although no amount of kitten
videos is gonna make this better...
Let's get to work. What do you got?
Man: Thanks for coming, Emily.
Alex, this is Agent Luke Alvez.
Hi. You two guys, you know each other.
Alex left the Bureau a few
years ago to take this job.
Tough call, though. When my dad passed,
I wanted the kids to
spend some meaningful time
with their grandma down here.
I heard Detective Jordan retired
early and you replaced him.
Yeah. He couldn't shake
the stink of this case.
It's taken the community a
decade to recover from Ferell.
Now we have a damn copycat.
Well, they thrive on media attention.
That wouldn't be good for anybody.
Agreed. We rob him of his 15 minutes
and work under the radar.
I'd like to shut him down quietly.
Before the town loses all hope.
I was deputy coroner in 2007.
Didn't think I'd ever see this again.
Legs and fingers removed antemortem.
Inverted pentagram postmortem.
Cause of death exsanguination?
Mm-hmm. Due to bisection of the carotid
when her throat was
slashed. Just like before.
Lewis: Looks like blunt force
trauma to the head as well.
Again, just like the historic cases.
Whoever is doing this
has Ferell down to a "T"
That doesn't make sense.
Ferell's been locked up for years.
Why would someone be copying him now?
Can't tell you, but this copycat
seems to be an exact copy.
How so?
I x-rayed the stomach contents
before I removed them.
5 fingers in the stomach,
fed to the victim just
prior to her death,
none of them hers.
Rossi: Only Ferell knew
that signature aspect.
We never released it to the public.
_
Woman: How can I help you?
We'd like to know why
you're recommending
home visits for Ferell
when his cannibalistic
sexual fantasies have
proven to be deadly.
I'm aware of those fantasies,
but this is where we differ.
I'm not sure he acted on them.
Regardless, with proper
medication and therapy,
he's gotten them under control now.
In your opinion.
Yes. This is a mental health issue,
not a criminal case.
He's a model patient who hasn't missed
a dose of his voluntary
regimen for years.
He's going to stop taking
his meds. They always do.
The FBI strenuously objects
to letting him out ever.
I'm afraid that ship's already sailed.
He's been on supervised home visits
to his sister's for weeks
now without incident.
Without incident.
Women are being killed here.
All of the fingers found
in Rebecca's stomach
are from the same person,
but they aren't hers.
So we have one other unknown victim.
Well, JJ and Garcia are searching
for other missing women
who fit his victimolgy.
Alvez: You know, the fact
that the killer forced Rebecca
to swallow the fingers of a prior victim
means that he must have had
inside knowledge of the old cases.
Ferell's been out on
weekend home visits,
so it is possible he's killing again.
I can't believe they'd be that reckless.
How did this happen?
Well, it happened with
Hinkley and Vince Li,
the cannibal who killed
and beheaded a guy on a bus.
Simmons: And what's worse, 'cause
this is a mental health issue
not a criminal case, they had
no duty to tell us or the public.
Sorry to interrupt, but Ferell's lawyer,
Billie Williams, is here.
You're gonna want to
hear what she has to say.
It's fortunate that you're here, agents.
I was just telling Detective Russ
about our lawsuit against the FBI.
Don't waste our time with
threats. We have work to do.
As a courtesy, I wanted to let you know
that I just filed a
motion to drop all charges
against my client.
I'm petitioning for his
unconditional release.
On what grounds?
It's clear from the current murder
that Ferell is actually innocent.
He was set up by the
real killer 10 years ago
and that guy's killing again.
The murders stopped as soon
as Ferell was locked up,
and they've started again
now that he's on home release.
Supervised home release.
And it's further proof that the
killer is setting my client up.
He only kills when he
can blame it on Ferell.
They caught him red-handed
with one of the victims.
All that proves is that my client
was under the influence
of the real killer.
He was clearly suffering from
mental illness at the time.
Rossi: I'll say. He had human recipes,
said he ate the victims
and had a satanic shrine.
He was manipulated by the real
killer to say those things.
There was never any actual evidence
tying him to these murders.
Ok, well, we're confident
that the facts speak for themselves.
Now, if you'll excuse us.
Prentiss: Well, we've got
our work cut out for us now.
We need to attack this on two fronts.
One, find out if Ferell is killing,
two, look into his lawyer's
"he was set up" theory.
Are we really buying that
Ferell had an accomplice
and the team missed it before?
Rossi: No matter how confident
we are in our past work,
we need to look at all possibilities.
Let the profile decide.
Prentiss: And let's
find out if some phantom
manipulative killer exists.
I'm sorry, but I gotta ask,
did you guys eat the tainted chili?
I have issues with group food.
That must be Lori, Ferell's sister.
Apparently he's had a lot of home
visits in the past few months,
so it's unlikely she's in any danger.
She has a 9-year-old son, though.
It's a risk having Ferell
around someone so vulnerable.
We got Ferell in the window now.
So he hasn't slipped out.
Simmons: All right, maybe he's
lucky, but he's no magician.
His ankle bracelet monitor puts him
within 30 feet of the base station.
They're still out there.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why they're here.
I really love having you around, Floyd,
but I couldn't let Jody
outside all day because of it.
I gotta go back tomorrow.
Maybe I just won't come around anymore.
[Door creaks]
Jody.
What are you doing?
I said, what are you doing?
I was just looking for
something to play with.
My dad used to keep our
baseball mitts in here.
I've told you...
Never touch my stuff.
Now go!
[Woman screaming]
Can I help you?
Yes, we're with the FBI.
Mommy...
Go play, honey.
You're scaring my son.
Staring at our house all day and night.
What am I supposed to tell him?
We're just doing our jobs, ma'am.
We'd like to talk to
you and your brother.
We are the only family Floyd's got.
I went to that damn institution
for 10 years to visit.
Can't you guys just wait
till he goes back there?
It's no problem, Lori.
I'll speak with them.
You have to wait.
I'm on my way to church.
You're on a monitored home
visit. You can't leave.
His doctor says he has
to stay within 1,000 yards
of the monitoring station.
The church is just around the corner.
He always goes to Bible
study when he comes home.
Hey, I remember you.
Where's your friend,
Agent Morgan?
You don't mind if we look
around while you're gone?
I mean, you got nothin' to hide, right?
Have at it.
I can't be late.
Jesus Christ awaits.
I'll go with you.
So is it ok if we look around?
Why are you doing this to him?
He didn't do those terrible things.
He's troubled, but he's not a killer.
We just want to make sure
Floyd's sticking to the rules.
I suppose. But don't make a mess.
I've got my hands full ever
since Jody's father died.
Any lead on the
manipulator killer theory?
Well, I found a bunch of references
to Satan in Ferell's writing,
and I'm sending a video from
the archive to your monitor now.
I'm not smart, but I have a smart friend
who tells me things.
What's your smart friend's name?
He says you know his name.
So it's possible he did have a partner.
Just enough in the interview
to make it seem plausible
but no definitive proof either way.
[Overlapping voices]
Can you tell me your name, ma'am?
[Voices continue]
[Voices fade]
Anything on that victim
who got away in 2007?
No. Uh, but... With what happened
to Sheryl Timmons, anybody who
knew how to take care of themselves
would have receded into the
vapors like she did, so...
Ok. Well, she may be good at hiding,
but she's no match for you.
Let us know when you find her.
Ok, I'll let you know when I find her,
because there's just me and I'm
supposed to get all of the answers
for all of you all the time,
and it's not... it's not fair. It's...
I...
I guess I should have seen that coming.
She's not doing well.
I was just trying to encourage her.
Don't worry about Penelope, ok?
I'll take care of her.
We'll let you know when
we find Sheryl Timmons.
Ok. Thanks, JJ.
This must be the ankle
monitor base station.
It's an ancient model in a
fundamentally flawed system.
Not even GPS enabled.
It basically just tracks
the person's distance
from the base station.
Looks like it has a backup battery
in case of a power outage.
Yeah, Floyd could have
literally unplugged it,
plugged it into a mobile power source
and taken it with him anywhere.
They're so easy to defeat
that law enforcement
stopped using them years ago.
State hospital may not know that.
I mean, he could have
snuck away with it last week
and then killed Rebecca Strong.
Reid: If he did that, he easily
could have done it earlier
and killed the first victim as well.
All right, thanks, Spence.
No, I'll bring him in
so we can confront him about the shrine.
You're the devil!
You have no place in the
house of God! Get out!
I'm sure you heard that. I gotta go.
- Ma'am! Ma'am!
- Get out!
Listen, you don't want to do this.
He's lawfully on the premises.
Lawfully? Lawfully? He's a monster.
Yes. Let's just step
outside. Step outside.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves!
You know what he did?
He killed my daughter 10 years ago!
We need to have a serious chat.
Let's go, Floyd.
Floyd, let's go.
Everything's all right,
everybody. All right?
Excuse us, sister.
We appreciate you coming in, Sheryl.
I don't like being back here.
I moved away 10 years ago,
took my name off of everything,
just to avoid having
to deal with this again.
Lewis: Because there was no trial,
you were never fully debriefed.
We need to go over the details
of your interactions with Ferell.
I've been doing everything
I can to try to forget.
It's been a living hell.
I'm not sure I can be of much help.
All of a sudden I got the chills.
It's not what you think.
I never murdered anyone.
I was disturbed before.
I didn't have a good life.
Was easy to manipulate.
Now I'm on my meds.
I'm different.
Then why the shrine?
You think you can have
God without the devil?
You can't.
Dr. Barren knows.
She suggested that I use it,
keep myself in check.
We all have a dark side.
How are we supposed to believe that?
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Alvez: Will you submit
to a cognitive interview?
If it'll help, I'll do it.
He did say "we" a lot
and talked about a special friend,
but I never saw anyone else.
Did you ever hear anything
that might have indicated
someone else was actually involved?
I remember once I heard
footsteps upstairs.
He dropped everything
and left in a hurry.
Rossi: Can you think back to
when you were taken in the woods?
Did you get a chance
to see who grabbed you?
No.
I'm sorry.
I was blindsided.
All I remember is waking
up in the trunk of a car.
There was a police siren
and the car pulled over.
I was banging on the
inside of the trunk.
[Screaming]
[Loud music playing]
Dispatcher on radio: All units, code 8.
Timmons, Sheryl. Female.
Age 32, 5'5", brown hair.
Last seen wearing
khakis and a pink shirt.
All units respond immediately.
Unit 18, Roger, responding.
Slow it down, buddy!
Rossi: You were abducted
in the afternoon,
but that cop pulled you over at night.
Where were you in between?
When I first woke up in the trunk,
we weren't moving.
We were inside a building.
I was unconscious when we got there.
But I remember a train
passing by woke me up.
It seems like it took forever
for that train to go by.
Why did you pick Sheryl Timmons?
I didn't.
My friend did.
I just picked her up and
took her where he told me to.
Where was that?
To my house, from the warehouse,
over on Shelby Lane.
I was supposed to rub her legs.
That's all I did. I just rubbed 'em.
I didn't want to, but I did.
What's your friend's name, Floyd?
He didn't tell me his name.
But I knew when I first met him,
I needed to do what he wanted me to.
[Knock on door]
Interview's over, Agents.
Garcia: Ok, I found an isolated
warehouse on Shelby Lane
midway between the search
site where Sheryl was taken
and Ferell's house.
Any freight lines nearby?
One runs right alongside.
Sheryl confirmed Ferell's story.
Is it possible we were actually
wrong about him from the start?
Man: Lee-Ann.
[Cell phone ringing]
Call me back at my desk in two minutes.
Morgan: Whatever you need, baby girl.
This is you. You're on the phone.
Yeah, it's me.
I heard what's going on.
Did they tell you I'm being hideous?
Listen to me. I've lost my voice
because I've been crying so much.
I have like... Major PTSD,
with an emphasis on
the... on the "S" and the "T."
And definitely some
of the "D" and the "P,"
because it's been a while
since all of this happened and...
You're right there.
It's really you.
It's me.
It's ok.
I got you.
And no one knows how to handle me
when I'm not in good form.
I'm so unwieldy.
So they brought in the secret weapon.
Hey. Look at this.
Huh?
Oh, wow, check this out.
Same furniture?
What, you really think
I'm gonna let them move it?
I need it. I come in
here when I miss you.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I feel bashful telling you that, but...
It makes me feel better.
Even imaginary you.
Now you're really... Here.
Thank you.
So that's all it took?
Me showing up.
No words of wisdom needed?
Uh-huh. Basking in our connectivity,
I feel healed.
We always could do that, couldn't we?
Morgan: No words.
Oh, yeah.
Although I do enjoy
our delicious banter.
Speaking of which, I know
you didn't come all this way
just to look at me.
Sure I did.
Ok. [Chuckles]
But... I'm really sorry
this is triggering
the trauma of that night.
Oh... I... I am moving on.
All right, that's good.
Did you know I prayed that night?
Me.
First time in a long time.
I wanted to take your place.
I still wish it was me
who took that bullet.
No.
No, I'm...
I mean, yeah, it was scary,
but I'm glad it was me.
I know it really
weirdly made me stronger.
It did.
Do you want to go into
the Batcave and hang out
like old times?
You know I want to.
But I'd have to bargain with my boss,
and my boss is no joke.
He's real tough on me.
Did you not get my text?
While you were lovingly
mansplaining to me?
No, that would be rude.
Woman, look at your phone.
Ok. Well, I would've, but...
I don't know if you're ready.
Morgan on video: Hey, Hank the tank,
say, "Hey, Auntie Penelope."
Hank: Hey, Auntie.
Right?
Oh, my gosh. How is my godson
continuing to get cuter and smarter?
This is everything!
This is the greatest.
You're the greatest.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
We identified the body
from the warehouse.
Evonne Westfield. She
went missing 6 weeks ago
on a weekday when Ferell
was still locked up.
So there's definitely
another killer out there.
I find it hard to believe
that there's a master manipulator killer
pulling Ferell's strings.
Simmons: But everything
seems to be pointing that way.
Prentiss: Ok, let's get
Evonne's next of kin in here,
find out everything we can about her.
Coroner: This woman has been
dead over a month, but same C.O.D.
Exsanguination due to a severed carotid,
inverted pentagram carved postmortem,
and all 10 fingers removed.
Now, there are hesitation
marks on that neck wound.
And he didn't remove her legs.
No. Curiously, though,
there are postmortem
human bite marks on the right leg.
Rossi: Yeah, looks like he actually
took a bite out of her calf.
I acquired Ferell's bite
impressions from the old case.
These bite marks don't match his.
Well, that's definitive
proof there's another killer.
But you can't teach someone
to be turned on by cannibalism.
So whoever this unsub is,
he must have had that desire all along.
What about her stomach contents?
Nothing in her stomach at all.
So she's probably his first victim.
Thanks, doctor.
Let's give Emily a call.
[Cell phone rings]
Go ahead, Dave.
Rossi: It looks like Evonne Westfield
is this unsub's first kill.
He's new at it, experimenting
with the taste of human flesh.
And behaviorally, we
know that it's not Ferell.
Prentiss: Ok, let's play this out.
If this killer's responsible
for all the kills attributed to Ferell,
he'd be experienced. He wouldn't
be starting from scratch.
Yeah, and there'd be no reason
for tentative bite or hesitation marks.
Prentiss: He also wouldn't
have done such a poor job
hiding Evonne's body.
I mean, that feels
like a newbie mistake.
Rossi: You know, I agree. All
of that rules out the theory
that the current unsub
was operating 10 years ago.
Let's look at this from
the other way around.
What if Ferell isn't the patsy?
What if Ferell has a patsy?
Meaning he's had a plan all along
to get out of Hazelwood State.
So he trains a new unsub to kill
using his exact same signature
so we think that this new guy
was killing 10 years ago.
Then it stands to reason this new unsub
is gonna make more boneheaded mistakes.
Prentiss: First-timers hunt
where they live, work, and play.
He probably knew the first victim.
I'll have detective
Russ bring in her family.
Ms. Manning, we're very
sorry for your loss.
Please.
Evonne and I were gonna
get married next fall.
My... My god, what she
must have gone through.
Johanna, it's best if
you try to remember Evonne
the way she was with you.
Was there anyone who
made her uncomfortable
or paid her unwanted attention?
Uh... No, we were always busy with work.
We hardly ever went out, and...
We only have a few friends
and kind of became homebodies, I guess.
There must be someone
who she interacted with.
Just my little brother Marcus.
He's harmless.
Why the hesitation, Johanna?
He's really cleaned up his act.
He had some issues in the past,
but he would never hurt Evonne.
What kind of issues?
Uh, I don't know. Just...
He was different.
In what way?
Just...
He's a loner.
You said he cleaned up.
What? AA? Therapy?
Yeah, he goes to church every week
it really grounds him.
Would you excuse us for a moment?
She's protecting him.
What if her brother met
Ferell at the church?
That's possible.
Oh. Yes.
Come here.
You magical brilliant unicorn.
How did you know? How did you know
that the Morgan-Garcia
cocktail is exactly
what the doctor ordered?
Well, I couldn't stand
to see you like this,
and I knew that only one person
could put that smile back
on your baby girl face.
[Telephone rings]
Oh! Phone. Let's get it.
Ah!
[Beep]
Woman of wonder. How may I assist thee?
I just sent you a
name... Marcus Manning.
I need everything.
Hot on his trail.
Ok, let's see. Marcus.
He's in his 30s.
He is a lifelong area resident.
He's had a long history of therapy.
Yikes! He scores very high on
the NEO suggestibility scale.
That would make him easy to manipulate.
Looks like he was bullied
a lot in high school.
He's got a sealed juvie record.
That's gonna take some time.
Prentiss: We need addresses, home, work.
JJ: The only address that comes up
is a temporary one at an SRO.
He wouldn't be keeping them in there.
Nevertheless, I'm sending
you his DL and address.
Ok, thanks, Garcia.
Wait a second.
Yeah, I've seen this guy before.
He was at Ferell's Bible study.
He was sitting right next to him.
You're the devil! You have
no place in the house of god!
Get out! You should be
ashamed of yourselves!
You know what he did? He
killed my daughter 10 years ago!
He seemed incensed when
Lee-Ann tried attacking Ferell,
but he didn't intercede.
No. If he's the killer, he would wait
for his best opportunity to strike.
Reid: He may have transferred
his rage onto Lee-Ann.
I'm gonna check in on her.
Simmons: Now that I'm thinking back,
Marcus had a brown paper lunch bag
on the floor between him and Ferell.
Amongst all the
commotion, I lost the bag,
but I was with Ferell the
entire time at the church,
except for...
When he was in the men's room.
I don't think that bag
was there when he left.
Rebecca's fingers
could have been inside.
Reid: Lee-Ann's not
answering her cell phone.
Evidently her husband got drunk,
fell asleep on the couch,
woke up as soon as she went to work,
but she never went in.
Marcus must have taken her.
You never should have
disrespected Floyd.
Marcus Manning's
juvenile record includes
him pulling a Mike Tyson in third grade,
got in a fight with a classmate
and bit a chunk out of his ear.
Thanks, Penelope.
He's definitely our guy.
Reid: He must have become
obsessed and sought out Ferell
after realizing he had the
same cannibalistic fantasies.
Emulating his crimes
makes Marcus feel powerful.
He'd be under a
tremendous amount of stress
since we compromised the warehouse.
And he knows Ferell's at risk
because he saw us talking
to him at the church.
So he would revert
back to what he knows.
Since he's a devotee,
he might go to Ferell's old house
to do his dirty work.
Dave and Luke are nearby.
I can't wait to taste this.
What are you doing?! Get away from me!
FBI! Drop your weapon!
I'll kill her.
Rossi: You don't want
to do that, Marcus.
We know that you've been manipulated
into doing all of this by Floyd Ferell.
No.
No.
He didn't do anything.
You look up to him,
Marcus, but he's using you.
He wanted you to get caught.
I did it.
I killed all those women in 2007.
What?
I tried to be good, but
these last few weeks,
I couldn't help myself.
I had to kill again.
No!
[Lee-Ann screams]
He's gone.
It's ok.
That confession is all that Ferell needs
to get off scot-free.
I got you.
We know, behaviorally,
that Marcus was lying.
Regardless, we have to turn
over his dying declaration
to Ferell's defense counsel.
She'll use it to get him out.
That's what Ferell wanted all along.
Reid: Manipulated the
mental health system
to get out again by coercing Marcus
into taking credit for his crimes.
Russ: And I'm left with a
cannibal about to be released
back into my community.
How do I protect them?
Prentiss: None of us wants to risk
waiting for Ferell to kill again,
and we all believe he will,
but there's simply nothing we
can do legally at this time.
Well, I can't leave here doing nothing.
I'll try to get the hospital board
to understand Ferell's hand in all this.
I appreciate that and
everything you've done for us.
Thank you.
Ohh, I come bearing
something totally irrelevant,
Marcus Manning's M.E. report.
Thanks, Penelope.
There has to be something
in all of these files
that prove Floyd
committed those murders.
If he did do it, he hid it so well.
Yeah, he did.
Turns out he was a hell of a lot smarter
than what we thought, and there's no way
that this was just all dumb luck.
Wait a minute.
The M.E. says that there were 5
of Rebecca's fingers in Marcus' stomach.
Yeah. And it's gross.
Rebecca was missing all of her fingers.
Rossi's testifying at the
state hospital board right now.
Call Prentiss.
We have no further
questions, Agent Rossi.
You may be excused.
I would like to be heard.
We believe that Manning's
dying declaration
was a false confession.
Agent Rossi, this is an
administrative hearing,
not a criminal trial. You've
answered our questions,
now you are excused.
Lloyd Feylinn Ferell,
will you please stand.
As the chair of the board
of Hazelwood State Hospital,
I'll present you with your psychiatric
and therapeutic assessments.
Thank you, ma'am.
We find your behavior
and exemplary participation
in the therapeutic process
demonstrates excellent control
of past deviant fantasies.
Yes, ma'am.
We further find your adherence
to medication schedule and safety plan
indicate you are no longer a risk
to yourself or others.
Ferell: No, ma'am, I'm not.
We can't give you back the last decade,
however, we offer our official apology
for wrongfully detaining you here.
I appreciate that, ma'am.
You're free to go, Mr. Ferell.
Ms. Chairwoman, I apologize
for the interruption,
but I have an issue
that I need to discuss
with the board.
If it is absolutely necessary.
Well, my colleague has just handed me
Marcus Manning's autopsy report.
The M.E. discovered 5 of
the last victim's fingers
in his stomach.
What relevance does that have
to the matter before this board?
Well, the remaining fingers
were never found.
And so I have here a search warrant
to serve Mr. Ferell.
I object to this obvious attempt
to punish my client.
You can search my room,
my sister's house,
even my old place.
You won't find anything.
Oh, did I neglect to say
the warrant isn't to search a location.
It's for an X-ray
of Floyd Feylinn
Ferell's digestive tract.
You see, we're gonna find
Rebecca's other 5 fingers
in your stomach...
Floyd.
No!
I'll kill you!
No! No!
And since this board has just given you
a clean bill of mental health,
we can now try you for
these recent murders
as an accessory, as well as
first-degree murder for...
No!
all the murders you
committed 10 years ago.
You son of a bitch!
No! No! No!
Rossi: "People like to say"
"that the conflict is
between good and evil.
The real conflict is
between truth and lies."
Don Miguel Ruiz.
Oh! Here they are. It's
the whole... everyone,
ok, whole family, whole family is here.
Whole family, I would like
to take this opportunity
to formally apologize. I am so...
You don't have to apologize.
We all understand from experience.
Really?
Yeah.
All right. I'll shake that off.
Uh, I am going to recommit
to living life to the fullest.
Right now, to that end,
I'd like to invite
everybody over to my house
for a celebration of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of
responsible intoxication.
[Laughter]
All right. All right!
Garcia: To the home cave.
[Indistinct chatter]
_
- [Music stops]
- Woman: Oh, god.
This place is ratchet.
Boy: The sign said "under construction."
That's just to keep the people away.
The workers still have to
use the bathroom, don't they?
And I can't hold it anymore.
This is totally like one
of those horror movies
where the killer's hiding in
the bushes with a chainsaw.
Would you please stop?
Come with me.
Are you crazy?
I can tell from here it's
going to smell like a sewer.
I'll sneak in with you.
To the bathroom?
So it's a maybe?
You sure you don't want
me to come in with you?
No, I got it. I got it.
All right.
Baaahhh!
[Laughing]
I hate you.
Just let her use the
bathroom so we can be gone.
Ohh...
I wouldn't go in there.
Wash your hands before
you come back out.
[Screaming]
We got a call from
Bridgewater, Florida, PD.
The body of Rebecca Strong
was found last night
in a rest stop women's room
with and without things.
Whoa.
Yeah, and then it gets worse.
All the telltale signs are here.
Rossi: Pentagram, legs and fingers gone.
Prentiss: There's even one neat aspect.
Her earrings and jewelry are laid out
equidistant on the floor.
Sure as hell looks like him.
Looks like who?
Floyd Feylinn Ferell.
Reid: A psychotic
cannibal who'd been killing
under the radar for years.
Prentiss: He killed 10 prostitutes
then moved up to low-risk victims.
He kept slipping through the
cracks and avoiding justice
so people referred to him as lucky.
The worst of it was he
owned a barbecue joint,
and he fed one of the
victims to the search party.
That is a very...
[Garcia closes tablet]
I... I have a computer...
Was it something I said?
No. That's not you.
Um... We were working Ferell's case
when she was shot.
Garcia was shot?
10 years ago.
Happened right in front
of her apartment building.
Was it a random act of violence?
No, he lured her
into dating him before she IDed him.
Turns out, he was a dirty
cop named Colby Baylor
and she was getting
close to exposing him.
So he shot her.
Where is he now?
He's dead.
Good.
Let's just give her a few minutes.
Tara, what were you saying?
Projected cannibalism.
The act of inducing others to
consume human flesh unknowingly.
You do not see that very often.
Well, projection seems
to be a thing for Ferell.
He fed the fingers of 10
previous victims to a later one.
His way of telling us
he was 10 victims deep
before we even knew he existed.
You think he's back?
Not unless he really
lives up to his nickname.
He's been locked up in the Hazelwood
psychiatric hospital
for the past 10 years.
Well, then it's a copycat
wanting to ride the wave of horror
left in Ferell's wake.
Statistically, copycat killers
tend to be vulnerable narcissists.
Though overtly boastful,
they harbor deep-seated
feelings of inadequacy.
Emulating notorious crimes
makes them feel powerful.
Rossi: Ferell was found
to be mentally incapable
of assisting in his own defense,
so, he skated without a trial.
Prentiss: If this unsub
is anything like Ferell,
he's got a taste for it.
And copycats typically
don't stop after one victim.
Wheels up in 20.
JJ, can I talk to you for a second?
[Door buzzes open]
[Door buzzes open]
Dinnertime, Floyd.
Sausage links. Your favorite.
Come on, Floyd, you must have worked up
an appetite over the weekend.
Not tonight.
I'm already full.
Garcia: "I like to
turn things upside down"
to see pictures and situations
from another perspective."
Ursus Wehrli.
Garcia: The rest stop victim, Rebecca
Strong, was a sex trade worker.
High risk, like the early victims
Ferell preyed on back in 2007.
Rossi: After that, he
graduated to low-risk victims
like Sheryl Timmons, who's
also the only known survivor.
Garcia, track down Sheryl.
On it.
What was Rebecca like as a person?
She's described as
strong-willed, determined.
Working to support her two kids.
When was Rebecca last seen?
Well, her boyfriend, and
by boyfriend I mean pimp,
Jason Carlsbad, reported her missing
when she didn't show up and
donate to his college fund.
I'm sending you deets right now.
Normally, I would want to look at him.
Pimps hurt women they
exploit to gain control,
but an M.O. this complex doesn't add up.
Alvez: Yeah, the cannibalism
angle wouldn't make sense either.
Eroticizing the
consumption of human flesh
is a pretty specific fetish.
Are we sure that he's
copying that from Ferell?
We need to nail that down. Dave, Tara,
go to the M.E.'s office.
Matt and Spencer, head
to Hazelwood State.
Notorious criminals have fans
who might want to copy their work.
Luke, you and I will head to the PD
and set up a base of
operations with Detective Russ.
[Breathing hard]
Baylor: Hey, Garcia.
I've been thinking about
doing this all night.
[Gunshot]
Get it together, kid, get it together.
[Breathing deeply]
Ok.
Oh, great. I was just coming for you.
So I have the handwritten notes...
Hey. Um, you know,
we can call in someone
else to work this case.
No, there's no reason
to do that. Why...
You stayed behind
'cause of me, didn't you?
Emily and I were worried.
Ohh...
I... I guess...
I guess I thought, I don't know,
I thought I'd gotten over it by now.
We were working this
case when you got shot.
It was the biggest physical
trauma you've ever had.
It's only natural that dredging up one
would trigger memories of the other.
Ok. Like I put it in a box. I let it go.
Really?
You know it doesn't
work that way, right?
You know what? It's been 10 years,
so, enough time for the wounds to heal.
And although no amount of kitten
videos is gonna make this better...
Let's get to work. What do you got?
Man: Thanks for coming, Emily.
Alex, this is Agent Luke Alvez.
Hi. You two guys, you know each other.
Alex left the Bureau a few
years ago to take this job.
Tough call, though. When my dad passed,
I wanted the kids to
spend some meaningful time
with their grandma down here.
I heard Detective Jordan retired
early and you replaced him.
Yeah. He couldn't shake
the stink of this case.
It's taken the community a
decade to recover from Ferell.
Now we have a damn copycat.
Well, they thrive on media attention.
That wouldn't be good for anybody.
Agreed. We rob him of his 15 minutes
and work under the radar.
I'd like to shut him down quietly.
Before the town loses all hope.
I was deputy coroner in 2007.
Didn't think I'd ever see this again.
Legs and fingers removed antemortem.
Inverted pentagram postmortem.
Cause of death exsanguination?
Mm-hmm. Due to bisection of the carotid
when her throat was
slashed. Just like before.
Lewis: Looks like blunt force
trauma to the head as well.
Again, just like the historic cases.
Whoever is doing this
has Ferell down to a "T"
That doesn't make sense.
Ferell's been locked up for years.
Why would someone be copying him now?
Can't tell you, but this copycat
seems to be an exact copy.
How so?
I x-rayed the stomach contents
before I removed them.
5 fingers in the stomach,
fed to the victim just
prior to her death,
none of them hers.
Rossi: Only Ferell knew
that signature aspect.
We never released it to the public.
_
Woman: How can I help you?
We'd like to know why
you're recommending
home visits for Ferell
when his cannibalistic
sexual fantasies have
proven to be deadly.
I'm aware of those fantasies,
but this is where we differ.
I'm not sure he acted on them.
Regardless, with proper
medication and therapy,
he's gotten them under control now.
In your opinion.
Yes. This is a mental health issue,
not a criminal case.
He's a model patient who hasn't missed
a dose of his voluntary
regimen for years.
He's going to stop taking
his meds. They always do.
The FBI strenuously objects
to letting him out ever.
I'm afraid that ship's already sailed.
He's been on supervised home visits
to his sister's for weeks
now without incident.
Without incident.
Women are being killed here.
All of the fingers found
in Rebecca's stomach
are from the same person,
but they aren't hers.
So we have one other unknown victim.
Well, JJ and Garcia are searching
for other missing women
who fit his victimolgy.
Alvez: You know, the fact
that the killer forced Rebecca
to swallow the fingers of a prior victim
means that he must have had
inside knowledge of the old cases.
Ferell's been out on
weekend home visits,
so it is possible he's killing again.
I can't believe they'd be that reckless.
How did this happen?
Well, it happened with
Hinkley and Vince Li,
the cannibal who killed
and beheaded a guy on a bus.
Simmons: And what's worse, 'cause
this is a mental health issue
not a criminal case, they had
no duty to tell us or the public.
Sorry to interrupt, but Ferell's lawyer,
Billie Williams, is here.
You're gonna want to
hear what she has to say.
It's fortunate that you're here, agents.
I was just telling Detective Russ
about our lawsuit against the FBI.
Don't waste our time with
threats. We have work to do.
As a courtesy, I wanted to let you know
that I just filed a
motion to drop all charges
against my client.
I'm petitioning for his
unconditional release.
On what grounds?
It's clear from the current murder
that Ferell is actually innocent.
He was set up by the
real killer 10 years ago
and that guy's killing again.
The murders stopped as soon
as Ferell was locked up,
and they've started again
now that he's on home release.
Supervised home release.
And it's further proof that the
killer is setting my client up.
He only kills when he
can blame it on Ferell.
They caught him red-handed
with one of the victims.
All that proves is that my client
was under the influence
of the real killer.
He was clearly suffering from
mental illness at the time.
Rossi: I'll say. He had human recipes,
said he ate the victims
and had a satanic shrine.
He was manipulated by the real
killer to say those things.
There was never any actual evidence
tying him to these murders.
Ok, well, we're confident
that the facts speak for themselves.
Now, if you'll excuse us.
Prentiss: Well, we've got
our work cut out for us now.
We need to attack this on two fronts.
One, find out if Ferell is killing,
two, look into his lawyer's
"he was set up" theory.
Are we really buying that
Ferell had an accomplice
and the team missed it before?
Rossi: No matter how confident
we are in our past work,
we need to look at all possibilities.
Let the profile decide.
Prentiss: And let's
find out if some phantom
manipulative killer exists.
I'm sorry, but I gotta ask,
did you guys eat the tainted chili?
I have issues with group food.
That must be Lori, Ferell's sister.
Apparently he's had a lot of home
visits in the past few months,
so it's unlikely she's in any danger.
She has a 9-year-old son, though.
It's a risk having Ferell
around someone so vulnerable.
We got Ferell in the window now.
So he hasn't slipped out.
Simmons: All right, maybe he's
lucky, but he's no magician.
His ankle bracelet monitor puts him
within 30 feet of the base station.
They're still out there.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why they're here.
I really love having you around, Floyd,
but I couldn't let Jody
outside all day because of it.
I gotta go back tomorrow.
Maybe I just won't come around anymore.
[Door creaks]
Jody.
What are you doing?
I said, what are you doing?
I was just looking for
something to play with.
My dad used to keep our
baseball mitts in here.
I've told you...
Never touch my stuff.
Now go!
[Woman screaming]
Can I help you?
Yes, we're with the FBI.
Mommy...
Go play, honey.
You're scaring my son.
Staring at our house all day and night.
What am I supposed to tell him?
We're just doing our jobs, ma'am.
We'd like to talk to
you and your brother.
We are the only family Floyd's got.
I went to that damn institution
for 10 years to visit.
Can't you guys just wait
till he goes back there?
It's no problem, Lori.
I'll speak with them.
You have to wait.
I'm on my way to church.
You're on a monitored home
visit. You can't leave.
His doctor says he has
to stay within 1,000 yards
of the monitoring station.
The church is just around the corner.
He always goes to Bible
study when he comes home.
Hey, I remember you.
Where's your friend,
Agent Morgan?
You don't mind if we look
around while you're gone?
I mean, you got nothin' to hide, right?
Have at it.
I can't be late.
Jesus Christ awaits.
I'll go with you.
So is it ok if we look around?
Why are you doing this to him?
He didn't do those terrible things.
He's troubled, but he's not a killer.
We just want to make sure
Floyd's sticking to the rules.
I suppose. But don't make a mess.
I've got my hands full ever
since Jody's father died.
Any lead on the
manipulator killer theory?
Well, I found a bunch of references
to Satan in Ferell's writing,
and I'm sending a video from
the archive to your monitor now.
I'm not smart, but I have a smart friend
who tells me things.
What's your smart friend's name?
He says you know his name.
So it's possible he did have a partner.
Just enough in the interview
to make it seem plausible
but no definitive proof either way.
[Overlapping voices]
Can you tell me your name, ma'am?
[Voices continue]
[Voices fade]
Anything on that victim
who got away in 2007?
No. Uh, but... With what happened
to Sheryl Timmons, anybody who
knew how to take care of themselves
would have receded into the
vapors like she did, so...
Ok. Well, she may be good at hiding,
but she's no match for you.
Let us know when you find her.
Ok, I'll let you know when I find her,
because there's just me and I'm
supposed to get all of the answers
for all of you all the time,
and it's not... it's not fair. It's...
I...
I guess I should have seen that coming.
She's not doing well.
I was just trying to encourage her.
Don't worry about Penelope, ok?
I'll take care of her.
We'll let you know when
we find Sheryl Timmons.
Ok. Thanks, JJ.
This must be the ankle
monitor base station.
It's an ancient model in a
fundamentally flawed system.
Not even GPS enabled.
It basically just tracks
the person's distance
from the base station.
Looks like it has a backup battery
in case of a power outage.
Yeah, Floyd could have
literally unplugged it,
plugged it into a mobile power source
and taken it with him anywhere.
They're so easy to defeat
that law enforcement
stopped using them years ago.
State hospital may not know that.
I mean, he could have
snuck away with it last week
and then killed Rebecca Strong.
Reid: If he did that, he easily
could have done it earlier
and killed the first victim as well.
All right, thanks, Spence.
No, I'll bring him in
so we can confront him about the shrine.
You're the devil!
You have no place in the
house of God! Get out!
I'm sure you heard that. I gotta go.
- Ma'am! Ma'am!
- Get out!
Listen, you don't want to do this.
He's lawfully on the premises.
Lawfully? Lawfully? He's a monster.
Yes. Let's just step
outside. Step outside.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves!
You know what he did?
He killed my daughter 10 years ago!
We need to have a serious chat.
Let's go, Floyd.
Floyd, let's go.
Everything's all right,
everybody. All right?
Excuse us, sister.
We appreciate you coming in, Sheryl.
I don't like being back here.
I moved away 10 years ago,
took my name off of everything,
just to avoid having
to deal with this again.
Lewis: Because there was no trial,
you were never fully debriefed.
We need to go over the details
of your interactions with Ferell.
I've been doing everything
I can to try to forget.
It's been a living hell.
I'm not sure I can be of much help.
All of a sudden I got the chills.
It's not what you think.
I never murdered anyone.
I was disturbed before.
I didn't have a good life.
Was easy to manipulate.
Now I'm on my meds.
I'm different.
Then why the shrine?
You think you can have
God without the devil?
You can't.
Dr. Barren knows.
She suggested that I use it,
keep myself in check.
We all have a dark side.
How are we supposed to believe that?
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Alvez: Will you submit
to a cognitive interview?
If it'll help, I'll do it.
He did say "we" a lot
and talked about a special friend,
but I never saw anyone else.
Did you ever hear anything
that might have indicated
someone else was actually involved?
I remember once I heard
footsteps upstairs.
He dropped everything
and left in a hurry.
Rossi: Can you think back to
when you were taken in the woods?
Did you get a chance
to see who grabbed you?
No.
I'm sorry.
I was blindsided.
All I remember is waking
up in the trunk of a car.
There was a police siren
and the car pulled over.
I was banging on the
inside of the trunk.
[Screaming]
[Loud music playing]
Dispatcher on radio: All units, code 8.
Timmons, Sheryl. Female.
Age 32, 5'5", brown hair.
Last seen wearing
khakis and a pink shirt.
All units respond immediately.
Unit 18, Roger, responding.
Slow it down, buddy!
Rossi: You were abducted
in the afternoon,
but that cop pulled you over at night.
Where were you in between?
When I first woke up in the trunk,
we weren't moving.
We were inside a building.
I was unconscious when we got there.
But I remember a train
passing by woke me up.
It seems like it took forever
for that train to go by.
Why did you pick Sheryl Timmons?
I didn't.
My friend did.
I just picked her up and
took her where he told me to.
Where was that?
To my house, from the warehouse,
over on Shelby Lane.
I was supposed to rub her legs.
That's all I did. I just rubbed 'em.
I didn't want to, but I did.
What's your friend's name, Floyd?
He didn't tell me his name.
But I knew when I first met him,
I needed to do what he wanted me to.
[Knock on door]
Interview's over, Agents.
Garcia: Ok, I found an isolated
warehouse on Shelby Lane
midway between the search
site where Sheryl was taken
and Ferell's house.
Any freight lines nearby?
One runs right alongside.
Sheryl confirmed Ferell's story.
Is it possible we were actually
wrong about him from the start?
Man: Lee-Ann.
[Cell phone ringing]
Call me back at my desk in two minutes.
Morgan: Whatever you need, baby girl.
This is you. You're on the phone.
Yeah, it's me.
I heard what's going on.
Did they tell you I'm being hideous?
Listen to me. I've lost my voice
because I've been crying so much.
I have like... Major PTSD,
with an emphasis on
the... on the "S" and the "T."
And definitely some
of the "D" and the "P,"
because it's been a while
since all of this happened and...
You're right there.
It's really you.
It's me.
It's ok.
I got you.
And no one knows how to handle me
when I'm not in good form.
I'm so unwieldy.
So they brought in the secret weapon.
Hey. Look at this.
Huh?
Oh, wow, check this out.
Same furniture?
What, you really think
I'm gonna let them move it?
I need it. I come in
here when I miss you.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I feel bashful telling you that, but...
It makes me feel better.
Even imaginary you.
Now you're really... Here.
Thank you.
So that's all it took?
Me showing up.
No words of wisdom needed?
Uh-huh. Basking in our connectivity,
I feel healed.
We always could do that, couldn't we?
Morgan: No words.
Oh, yeah.
Although I do enjoy
our delicious banter.
Speaking of which, I know
you didn't come all this way
just to look at me.
Sure I did.
Ok. [Chuckles]
But... I'm really sorry
this is triggering
the trauma of that night.
Oh... I... I am moving on.
All right, that's good.
Did you know I prayed that night?
Me.
First time in a long time.
I wanted to take your place.
I still wish it was me
who took that bullet.
No.
No, I'm...
I mean, yeah, it was scary,
but I'm glad it was me.
I know it really
weirdly made me stronger.
It did.
Do you want to go into
the Batcave and hang out
like old times?
You know I want to.
But I'd have to bargain with my boss,
and my boss is no joke.
He's real tough on me.
Did you not get my text?
While you were lovingly
mansplaining to me?
No, that would be rude.
Woman, look at your phone.
Ok. Well, I would've, but...
I don't know if you're ready.
Morgan on video: Hey, Hank the tank,
say, "Hey, Auntie Penelope."
Hank: Hey, Auntie.
Right?
Oh, my gosh. How is my godson
continuing to get cuter and smarter?
This is everything!
This is the greatest.
You're the greatest.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
We identified the body
from the warehouse.
Evonne Westfield. She
went missing 6 weeks ago
on a weekday when Ferell
was still locked up.
So there's definitely
another killer out there.
I find it hard to believe
that there's a master manipulator killer
pulling Ferell's strings.
Simmons: But everything
seems to be pointing that way.
Prentiss: Ok, let's get
Evonne's next of kin in here,
find out everything we can about her.
Coroner: This woman has been
dead over a month, but same C.O.D.
Exsanguination due to a severed carotid,
inverted pentagram carved postmortem,
and all 10 fingers removed.
Now, there are hesitation
marks on that neck wound.
And he didn't remove her legs.
No. Curiously, though,
there are postmortem
human bite marks on the right leg.
Rossi: Yeah, looks like he actually
took a bite out of her calf.
I acquired Ferell's bite
impressions from the old case.
These bite marks don't match his.
Well, that's definitive
proof there's another killer.
But you can't teach someone
to be turned on by cannibalism.
So whoever this unsub is,
he must have had that desire all along.
What about her stomach contents?
Nothing in her stomach at all.
So she's probably his first victim.
Thanks, doctor.
Let's give Emily a call.
[Cell phone rings]
Go ahead, Dave.
Rossi: It looks like Evonne Westfield
is this unsub's first kill.
He's new at it, experimenting
with the taste of human flesh.
And behaviorally, we
know that it's not Ferell.
Prentiss: Ok, let's play this out.
If this killer's responsible
for all the kills attributed to Ferell,
he'd be experienced. He wouldn't
be starting from scratch.
Yeah, and there'd be no reason
for tentative bite or hesitation marks.
Prentiss: He also wouldn't
have done such a poor job
hiding Evonne's body.
I mean, that feels
like a newbie mistake.
Rossi: You know, I agree. All
of that rules out the theory
that the current unsub
was operating 10 years ago.
Let's look at this from
the other way around.
What if Ferell isn't the patsy?
What if Ferell has a patsy?
Meaning he's had a plan all along
to get out of Hazelwood State.
So he trains a new unsub to kill
using his exact same signature
so we think that this new guy
was killing 10 years ago.
Then it stands to reason this new unsub
is gonna make more boneheaded mistakes.
Prentiss: First-timers hunt
where they live, work, and play.
He probably knew the first victim.
I'll have detective
Russ bring in her family.
Ms. Manning, we're very
sorry for your loss.
Please.
Evonne and I were gonna
get married next fall.
My... My god, what she
must have gone through.
Johanna, it's best if
you try to remember Evonne
the way she was with you.
Was there anyone who
made her uncomfortable
or paid her unwanted attention?
Uh... No, we were always busy with work.
We hardly ever went out, and...
We only have a few friends
and kind of became homebodies, I guess.
There must be someone
who she interacted with.
Just my little brother Marcus.
He's harmless.
Why the hesitation, Johanna?
He's really cleaned up his act.
He had some issues in the past,
but he would never hurt Evonne.
What kind of issues?
Uh, I don't know. Just...
He was different.
In what way?
Just...
He's a loner.
You said he cleaned up.
What? AA? Therapy?
Yeah, he goes to church every week
it really grounds him.
Would you excuse us for a moment?
She's protecting him.
What if her brother met
Ferell at the church?
That's possible.
Oh. Yes.
Come here.
You magical brilliant unicorn.
How did you know? How did you know
that the Morgan-Garcia
cocktail is exactly
what the doctor ordered?
Well, I couldn't stand
to see you like this,
and I knew that only one person
could put that smile back
on your baby girl face.
[Telephone rings]
Oh! Phone. Let's get it.
Ah!
[Beep]
Woman of wonder. How may I assist thee?
I just sent you a
name... Marcus Manning.
I need everything.
Hot on his trail.
Ok, let's see. Marcus.
He's in his 30s.
He is a lifelong area resident.
He's had a long history of therapy.
Yikes! He scores very high on
the NEO suggestibility scale.
That would make him easy to manipulate.
Looks like he was bullied
a lot in high school.
He's got a sealed juvie record.
That's gonna take some time.
Prentiss: We need addresses, home, work.
JJ: The only address that comes up
is a temporary one at an SRO.
He wouldn't be keeping them in there.
Nevertheless, I'm sending
you his DL and address.
Ok, thanks, Garcia.
Wait a second.
Yeah, I've seen this guy before.
He was at Ferell's Bible study.
He was sitting right next to him.
You're the devil! You have
no place in the house of god!
Get out! You should be
ashamed of yourselves!
You know what he did? He
killed my daughter 10 years ago!
He seemed incensed when
Lee-Ann tried attacking Ferell,
but he didn't intercede.
No. If he's the killer, he would wait
for his best opportunity to strike.
Reid: He may have transferred
his rage onto Lee-Ann.
I'm gonna check in on her.
Simmons: Now that I'm thinking back,
Marcus had a brown paper lunch bag
on the floor between him and Ferell.
Amongst all the
commotion, I lost the bag,
but I was with Ferell the
entire time at the church,
except for...
When he was in the men's room.
I don't think that bag
was there when he left.
Rebecca's fingers
could have been inside.
Reid: Lee-Ann's not
answering her cell phone.
Evidently her husband got drunk,
fell asleep on the couch,
woke up as soon as she went to work,
but she never went in.
Marcus must have taken her.
You never should have
disrespected Floyd.
Marcus Manning's
juvenile record includes
him pulling a Mike Tyson in third grade,
got in a fight with a classmate
and bit a chunk out of his ear.
Thanks, Penelope.
He's definitely our guy.
Reid: He must have become
obsessed and sought out Ferell
after realizing he had the
same cannibalistic fantasies.
Emulating his crimes
makes Marcus feel powerful.
He'd be under a
tremendous amount of stress
since we compromised the warehouse.
And he knows Ferell's at risk
because he saw us talking
to him at the church.
So he would revert
back to what he knows.
Since he's a devotee,
he might go to Ferell's old house
to do his dirty work.
Dave and Luke are nearby.
I can't wait to taste this.
What are you doing?! Get away from me!
FBI! Drop your weapon!
I'll kill her.
Rossi: You don't want
to do that, Marcus.
We know that you've been manipulated
into doing all of this by Floyd Ferell.
No.
No.
He didn't do anything.
You look up to him,
Marcus, but he's using you.
He wanted you to get caught.
I did it.
I killed all those women in 2007.
What?
I tried to be good, but
these last few weeks,
I couldn't help myself.
I had to kill again.
No!
[Lee-Ann screams]
He's gone.
It's ok.
That confession is all that Ferell needs
to get off scot-free.
I got you.
We know, behaviorally,
that Marcus was lying.
Regardless, we have to turn
over his dying declaration
to Ferell's defense counsel.
She'll use it to get him out.
That's what Ferell wanted all along.
Reid: Manipulated the
mental health system
to get out again by coercing Marcus
into taking credit for his crimes.
Russ: And I'm left with a
cannibal about to be released
back into my community.
How do I protect them?
Prentiss: None of us wants to risk
waiting for Ferell to kill again,
and we all believe he will,
but there's simply nothing we
can do legally at this time.
Well, I can't leave here doing nothing.
I'll try to get the hospital board
to understand Ferell's hand in all this.
I appreciate that and
everything you've done for us.
Thank you.
Ohh, I come bearing
something totally irrelevant,
Marcus Manning's M.E. report.
Thanks, Penelope.
There has to be something
in all of these files
that prove Floyd
committed those murders.
If he did do it, he hid it so well.
Yeah, he did.
Turns out he was a hell of a lot smarter
than what we thought, and there's no way
that this was just all dumb luck.
Wait a minute.
The M.E. says that there were 5
of Rebecca's fingers in Marcus' stomach.
Yeah. And it's gross.
Rebecca was missing all of her fingers.
Rossi's testifying at the
state hospital board right now.
Call Prentiss.
We have no further
questions, Agent Rossi.
You may be excused.
I would like to be heard.
We believe that Manning's
dying declaration
was a false confession.
Agent Rossi, this is an
administrative hearing,
not a criminal trial. You've
answered our questions,
now you are excused.
Lloyd Feylinn Ferell,
will you please stand.
As the chair of the board
of Hazelwood State Hospital,
I'll present you with your psychiatric
and therapeutic assessments.
Thank you, ma'am.
We find your behavior
and exemplary participation
in the therapeutic process
demonstrates excellent control
of past deviant fantasies.
Yes, ma'am.
We further find your adherence
to medication schedule and safety plan
indicate you are no longer a risk
to yourself or others.
Ferell: No, ma'am, I'm not.
We can't give you back the last decade,
however, we offer our official apology
for wrongfully detaining you here.
I appreciate that, ma'am.
You're free to go, Mr. Ferell.
Ms. Chairwoman, I apologize
for the interruption,
but I have an issue
that I need to discuss
with the board.
If it is absolutely necessary.
Well, my colleague has just handed me
Marcus Manning's autopsy report.
The M.E. discovered 5 of
the last victim's fingers
in his stomach.
What relevance does that have
to the matter before this board?
Well, the remaining fingers
were never found.
And so I have here a search warrant
to serve Mr. Ferell.
I object to this obvious attempt
to punish my client.
You can search my room,
my sister's house,
even my old place.
You won't find anything.
Oh, did I neglect to say
the warrant isn't to search a location.
It's for an X-ray
of Floyd Feylinn
Ferell's digestive tract.
You see, we're gonna find
Rebecca's other 5 fingers
in your stomach...
Floyd.
No!
I'll kill you!
No! No!
And since this board has just given you
a clean bill of mental health,
we can now try you for
these recent murders
as an accessory, as well as
first-degree murder for...
No!
all the murders you
committed 10 years ago.
You son of a bitch!
No! No! No!
Rossi: "People like to say"
"that the conflict is
between good and evil.
The real conflict is
between truth and lies."
Don Miguel Ruiz.
Oh! Here they are. It's
the whole... everyone,
ok, whole family, whole family is here.
Whole family, I would like
to take this opportunity
to formally apologize. I am so...
You don't have to apologize.
We all understand from experience.
Really?
Yeah.
All right. I'll shake that off.
Uh, I am going to recommit
to living life to the fullest.
Right now, to that end,
I'd like to invite
everybody over to my house
for a celebration of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of
responsible intoxication.
[Laughter]
All right. All right!
Garcia: To the home cave.
[Indistinct chatter]
