Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 14, Episode 3 - Rule 34 - full transcript

SO, WHAT’S
IN THE BOX?

UM, TO BE HONEST,
NO IDEA.

I MEAN, I COULD HAVE
SWORN I KEPT MYSELF

FROM ACTUALLY ORDERING
ONE OF THOSE NEW TURBO DOG

TREAT-TOSSING CAMERAS, BUT...

EX-SQUEEZE ME?

OH, SERIOUSLY, PHIL,
YOU’D LOVE THIS THING.

IT IS SO COOL.
IT WOULD LET ME WATCH

AND FEED AND PLAY
WITH MR. WIDGET
ALL FROM RIGHT HERE.

AHH, BECAUSE
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT
THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER

HOPES IS TAKING PLACE
AT THE INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE.



YEAH, WELL, I WAS
TRYING TO BE GOOD,

WHICH IS WHY ALL I CAN
THINK IS MY MIND WAS SAYING NO,

BUT MY FINGER WAS PRESSING
"PLACE ORDER NOW."

OH, MY GOD!

WHAT THE...

OH, MY GOD.

SOMEONE CALL 9-1-1. NOW!

COME ON, COME ON.
OH, MY GOD.

DAVID.

DAVID!

CAN’T I GO
TO MY ROOM?

NOT UNTIL WE TALK
ABOUT THIS.

IN HERE.

I KNOW SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF THE SCHOOL YEAR,



YOU’VE HAD SOME TROUBLE
GETTING ALONG WITH
YOUR CLASSMATES.

I NEED YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING

THAT MADE YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU HAD TO HIT SOMEBODY.

I SAID I WAS SORRY.

YOU SHOULD BE.

THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR
THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR.

YOU HEAR ME?
MATT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER.

DAVID, GO TO YOUR ROOM.

IT’S WORK.

I’M JUST GONNA
TAKE A SICK DAY.

NO, NO, DON’T DO THAT,

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW
THAT TEXT MEANS
THERE’S SOME PEOPLE

OUT THERE IN A HELL
OF A LOT MORE TROUBLE
THAN WE ARE.

YEAH, WELL,
WHAT ABOUT DAVID?

WELL...

SUDDEN SHIFTS
IN BEHAVIOR ARE USUALLY

TIED TO SOMETHING
CHANGING AT HOME.

AND HONESTLY,

I THINK THAT SOMETHING
CHANGING HERE IS ME.

KRISTY, THIS HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH...

WITH MY BEING
IN TRAUMA THERAPY

BECAUSE I SURVIVED
BEING A HOSTAGE?

WE KNOW DAVID IS
THE SENSITIVE ONE.

SO WHEN YOUR MOM
ALL OF THE SUDDEN

BECOMES OVERLY
PROTECTIVE AND STARTS
CANCELLING PLAY DATES,

IT PROBABLY BECOMES
A LITTLE SCARY FOR HIM.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

WILL IT MATTER IF I SAY
THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT?

OF COURSE IT MATTERS,
LOVE OF MY LIFE.

BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU
NEED TO SAVE THE WORLD

AND I NEED TO SPEND
TIME WITH OUR SON.

OK?

OK.

THIS MORNING
D.C. METRO POLICE

REPORTED THAT BODY PARTS
WERE SENT TO 6 SEPARATE
LOCATIONS

WITHIN THE WASHINGTON
METROPOLITAN AREA.

EACH APPENDAGE WAS
WRAPPED AND SEALED

INSIDE ITS OWN BOX.

IN ALL, THERE WERE
TWO ARMS WITH NO HANDS,

TWO LEGS WITH NO FEET,
ONE TORSO CUT IN HALF
BUT WITHOUT THE HEAD.

SO ALTHOUGH THIS UNSUB
FELT THE SADISTIC URGE
TO SHOCK AND AWE

THE VICTIMS WHO
RECEIVED THE BOXES,

HE WAS STILL ORGANIZED
ENOUGH TO WITHHOLD

THE PARTS THAT WOULD
HAVE HELPED BETTER
IDENTIFY THE VICTIM.

OH, BUT WAIT,
THERE’S MORE.

IN EACH BOX, UNDERNEATH
THE VICTIM PIECES

WAS AN INDEX CARD,

AND ON EACH ONE, A PIECE
OF A HANDWRITTEN NOTE.

"ALL THE KING’S
PORSCHES AND ALL
THE KING’S BENZ

"COULDN’T PUT THIS BITCH
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

FOREVER YOURS,
GONE POSTAL."

DO WE KNOW WHO THE BOXES
WERE SENT TO AND HOW
THEY WERE DELIVERED?

YES, THE UNSUB
USED AN OVERNIGHT
COURIER SERVICE

CALLED WORLD SEND,
BUT THEY DON’T HAVE
ANY SECURITY FOOTAGE

OF THE DROP OFF BECAUSE
THAT PARTICULAR BRANCH

WAS CLOSED YESTERDAY
DUE TO A BIT OF
SCHEDULED REMODELING.

SO THAT MEANS HE DOCTORED
THE TRACKING I.D.
ON THE BOXES.

CORRECT. SO EACH OF
THE APPALLING PARCELS

WERE ADDRESSED AND DELIVERED
TO 6 DIFFERENT PEOPLE,

TWO WERE AT HOME,
4 WERE AT WORK.

THEY RANGE IN OCCUPATIONS
FROM RETIRED TEACHER

TO TAXPAYER ADVOCATE.

THEY RANGE IN AGES
FROM 23 TO 68.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE,
WHAT THEY ALL
GOT IN COMMON,

THEY’RE ALL WOMEN.

PARTS OF ONE MAN
SENT TO 6 DIFFERENT WOMEN.

WHAT’S STRANGE IS THAT
NONE OF THE WOMEN HAD

A MISSING MALE FRIEND
OR SIGNIFICANT OTHER.

BUT MAYBE OUR JOHN DOE HERE’S
THE REAL CONNECTION

BETWEEN THE WOMEN,
WHETHER THEY KNOW IT OR NOT.

OR MAYBE OUR UNSUB’S
CRIMES AREN’T
EXACTLY CONNECTED

TO ONE ANOTHER IN
THE WAY WE WOULD
ORDINARILY THINK.

BECAUSE HE COULD BE WRESTLING
WITH A SET OF MIXED MOTIVATIONS.

I THINK SO.
SEPARATE AND DISTINCT
EMOTIONAL NEEDS

THAT HE FEELS COMPELLED
TO FULFILL.

SO THE DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT
OF THE MALE VICTIM

WOULD FULFILL ONE NEED,

THE SHIPPING OF
THE BODY PARTS

TO THE FEMALE VICTIMS
WOULD FULFILL ANOTHER.

YEAH. AND WHAT
ABOUT HIM TAUNTING US?

I MEAN, I’D SAY
THAT’S ANOTHER
ONE OF HIS NEEDS.

WELL,
WE NEED TO STOP HIM.

JJ, LUKE, INTERVIEW
THE WOMEN.

TARA, SPENCE, FOCUS ON
THESE CARDS IN THE BOXES.

PENELOPE, MATT, TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT WORLD SEND

AND ITS EMPLOYEES.

DAVE, YOU AND I WILL
FOLLOW UP ON THE AUTOPSY
OF OUR JOHN DOE.

ARE YOU ABLE
TO CONFIRM WHAT WAS
INSIDE THE BOX

THAT YOUR COLLEAGUE,
MS. RAPTIS, RECEIVED?

WE’RE HEARING IT
MAY HAVE BEEN PART
OF A MALE TORSO.

YES, I GUESS
THAT’S WHAT IT WAS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO WOULD HAVE WANTED
TO DO THIS?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN
TO COMPREHEND THE MIND

OF SOMEONE WHO COULD
DO SOMETHING LIKE...

"THE CHARM OF FAME
IS SO GREAT

"THAT WE LIKE EVERY OBJECT
ATTACHED TO IT,

EVEN DEATH."

BLAISE PASCAL.

WE RAN SOME DNA,
AND THE TESTS CONFIRM

THAT WE HAVE THE PRESENCE
OF NOT ONE,

BUT TWO MALE VICTIMS.

ANY IDENTIFICATION?

NO. NOT YET.

UNFORTUNATELY,
NO HITS ON CODIS

OR THE NATIONAL MISSING
PERSONS DATABASE.

SO HE LITERALLY SPLIT
THESE TWO GUYS

RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE,

BUT NOT BEFORE
TORTURING THEM.

THESE ARE INCISED
WOUNDS, CORRECT?

YES. AND WHILE
THE DISARTICULATION

TOOK PLACE POST-MORTEM,

THOSE INJURIES THAT YOU
SEE ARE PERI-MORTEM.

BUT IF HE TORTURED THEM
WHILE THEY WERE
STILL ALIVE,

WERE ARE
THE LIGATURE MARKS?

THERE DON’T APPEAR TO BE
ANY DEFENSIVE WOUNDS, EITHER.

HE’S PARALYZING THEM.

I THINK YOU
MIGHT BE RIGHT.

I’D ORDER AN EXTENDED
TOXICOLOGY PANEL.

IT AIN’T EASY TO
CUT UP A BODY.

NO, IT IS NOT.
AND IN MY OPINION,

A FAIRLY HIGH DEGREE
OF SKILL WAS EMPLOYED

TO DECAPITATE
AND DISARTICULATE
THESE TWO MEN.

BETWEEN THAT AND THE USE
OF A PARALYTIC,

I’D SAY OUR UNSUB HAS
HAD SIGNIFICANT
MEDICAL TRAINING.

YEAH. PLUS ALL THE SLICE
AND DICE IS PERSONAL.

HE KNOWS THESE GUYS,

MAYBE EVEN BETTER
THAN THE WOMEN.

THAT MIGHT START TO
EXPLAIN HIS MIXED MOTIVATIONS,

HIS CHOICE TO MURDER
THE MEN PHYSICALLY,

BUT ASSAULT THE WOMEN
PSYCHOLOGICALLY.

AND RIGHT NOW THE WOMEN
MAY BE OUR ONLY WAY
TO TRACK HIM DOWN.

I’M JUST AFRAID
TO GO HOME NOW.

I CALLED MY MOM
TO PICK UP MY DOG.

SHE SAID WE COULD
STAY WITH HER,

BUT I WISH WE COULD
ALL STAY HERE.

IT’S A GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

THEY’LL DO WHATEVER
THEY CAN TO PROTECT IT.

MS. RAPTIS, THE POLICE
SAID THAT YOU HAD NEVER

RECEIVED ANY PERSONAL
THREATS. IS THAT RIGHT?

IT IS. AND I’VE NEVER
HAD TO FILE ANY KIND
OF A RESTRAINING ORDER.

ARE YOU SEEING
ANYBODY RIGHT NOW?

NO.

WHAT ABOUT ANYONE
WHO MAY HAVE

MADE THREATS AGAINST
THE OFFICE AS A WHOLE?

WELL, THAT COMES
WITH THE TERRITORY,

BECAUSE WHO DOESN’T
HATE THE IRS?

YOU RECOGNIZE ANY
OF THESE WOMEN?

DID THEY GET BOXES, TOO?

YES.

NO. SORRY,
I DON’T KNOW THEM.

I REALLY WISH I COULD
HELP YOU MORE.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.

THANKS.

SO GARCIA’S GOT
A LIST OF THREATS

THAT WERE MADE
TO THE IRS OVER
THE LAST YEAR,

BUT HONESTLY, I DON’T
THINK WE’RE GONNA FIND
ANYTHING THERE.

YEAH, I AGREE.

’CAUSE WHY WOULD SOMEONE
WITH A GRUDGE AGAINST THE IRS

ALSO GO AFTER SOMEONE
LIKE A TEACHER
OR REAL ESTATE AGENT?

BUT WHAT I DID
FIND INTERESTING

IS THAT OUR INTERVIEWS
WITH ALL THE FEMALE VICTIMS

HAVE GONE THE SAME WAY.

YEAH, THEY’RE
ALL BAFFLED BY
BEING TARGETED.

IT JUST DOESN’T
LEAVE US WITH
THE USUAL SUSPECTS

TO TRACK DOWN.

YEAH.

MAN, I MUST BE
LOSING IT.

WHY? WHAT’S WRONG?

WELL, I’M OVER HERE
LOOKING AT JUST HOW WELL

OUR UNSUB WRAPPED
THESE BOXES

BECAUSE CLEARLY HE
DIDN’T WANT ANYTHING
SPOILING HIS SURPRISE,

AND AT THE SAME TIME,
I CAN’T HELP
ASKING MYSELF

WHY I NEVER LEARNED
HOW TO GIFT WRAP
PRESENTS FOR MY FAMILY.

YOU COULD ALWAYS HIRE
SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU.

I DO, BUT, YOU KNOW,
THAT’S NOT THE SAME.

ANYWAY, CLEARLY THIS
GUY HAS MAJOR SKILLS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
HE WOULD HAVE NEEDED
DIRECT ACCESS

TO WORLD SEND’S
TRACKING SYSTEM,

ALONG WITH A BRANCH
OFFICE FOR HIS BOXES
TO BE PICKED UP.

SO YOU THINK HE’S
EITHER A CURRENT

OR FORMER EMPLOYEE
OF WORLD SEND?

WELL, WHO BETTER THAN
A DISGRUNTLED COURIER

TO CALL HIMSELF,
MOCKINGLY OR NOT,
"GONE POSTAL."

TRUE. BUT IS THIS
DISGRUNTLED COURIER

ALSO A FRUSTRATED DOCTOR?

I’LL TELL YOU WHY
HE’D BE FRUSTRATED,

BECAUSE HE DROPPED OUT,
FAILED OUT,

OR GOT BOOTED OUT
OF MEDICAL SCHOOL.

I CAN DEFINITELY SEE THAT,
BUT WHAT PUZZLES ME

IS THE IDEA THAT ONCE
OUT OF SCHOOL,

HE’D CHOOSE TO GET
A REGULAR 9:00 TO 5:00 JOB.

THESE LINGUISTICS EXPRESS
AN UNCONSCIOUS PREOCCUPATION

WITH MATERIALISM
AND SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT.

THEY ESSENTIALLY
ARTICULATE THE RAGE

OF A PURE
MALIGNANT NARCISSIST.

I GOT SOMETHING.

ACCORDING TO WORLD SEND,
IN ORDER FOR THOSE BOXES

TO BE DELIVERED, THEY HAD
TO BE ENTERED INTO
THE COMPANY COMPUTER SYSTEM

USING AN EMPLOYEE
I.D. ACCESS CODE.

YEAH, THAT’S WHAT
WE WERE THINKING.

RIGHT. SO IN THIS CASE,
ALL 6 PACKAGES WERE TAGGED

WITH THE CODE ASSIGNED
TO DUANE VANN.

AND HE’S THE MANAGER
IN CHARGE AT THE BRANCH

THAT WAS CLOSED
FOR REMODELING.

DO WE HAVE
A HOME ADDRESS?

YEAH, IT’S RIGHT HERE.

ALL RIGHT, I’LL
COORDINATE WITH SWAT.

OH, MY GOD.
YOU GUYS. GUYS!

GUYS, THIS IS...
THIS IS HAPPENING.

ALL RIGHT,
SLOW DOWN. WHAT’S HAPPENING?

I FOUND GONE POSTAL ONLINE,

AND HE’S LIVE-STREAMING
A MURDER.

WHAT SOCIAL NETWORK
IS THIS?

IT’S NOT A CONVENTIONAL
NETWORK.

I PUT OUT A DIGITAL
MARKER FOR "GONE POSTAL,"

AND I FOUND IT ON
A WEBSITE CALLED
XXXANADU.XTZ.CU.

XTZ.CU?
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

IT’S A LOWER
LEVEL DOMAIN.
IT’S THE DARK NET.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO
LOCATE WHERE THIS
LIVE-STREAM’S COMING FROM?

I’M RUNNING
A DIGITAL TRACE NOW.

UH, IT’S WITH
THE I.P. ADDRESS.

OK, ACCORDING TO
THE I.P. ADDRESS,

THE COMPUTER’S ON
A WI-FI NETWORK

SOMEWHERE AROUND
THE 1400 BLOCK

OF WESTERFALL
SPRINGS AVENUE.

OUR SUSPECT
DUANE VANN’S ADDRESS

IS 1457 WESTERFALL
SPRINGS AVENUE.

SWAT’S ALREADY ON ITS WAY.

OK.

CLEAR.

THIS VIDEO STREAM
ISN’T GOING OUT LIVE.

IT’S ON A CONTINUOUS LOOP.

WHO KNOWS WHEN
IT WAS RECORDED.

SON OF A BITCH
PLAYED US.

HE DID.

BUT SOMEWHERE OUT
THERE IS ANOTHER
MALE VICTIM

AND WHO KNOWS HOW
MANY OTHER WOMEN
WHO ARE ABOUT

TO GET A TERRIBLE
SURPRISE.

I’M SORRY, NANCY.

DID YOU JUST SAY
SOMEONE LIVE-STREAMED
A MURDER?

YES, THAT’S WHAT
WE’RE HEARING

FROM A SOURCE CLOSE
TO THE INVESTIGATION.

AND JUST MOMENTS AGO,

AN FBI SPOKESPERSON
ISSUED A STATEMENT

WARNING WOMEN LIVING IN
THE WASHINGTON D.C. AREA

TO AVOID OPENING ANY
SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE

THEY MIGHT RECEIVE
AT HOME OR AT WORK.

♪ I’M CRAZY AND I’M HURT ♪

♪ HEAD ON MY SHOULDERS ♪

THIS MORNING
MORE BODY PARTS

WERE DELIVERED
TO 4 MORE WOMEN,

AND THIS TIME EVEN THOUGH
HE DIDN’T SEND ANY
HANDWRITTEN MESSAGES,

OUR UNSUB WASN’T SHY ABOUT
INCLUDING EVERYTHING ELSE,

INCLUDING THE MALE
VICTIM’S HEAD.

WHICH WE HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS
DR. NICOLAS KAUFFMANN.

HE’S A PROMINENT
D.C. PSYCHIATRIST.

METRO POLICE
ARE AT HIS HOUSE NOW.

THEY SAY THERE ARE
DEFINITE SIGNS OF
FORCED ENTRY,

BUT NO SIGNS OF ANY
VIOLENCE ANYWHERE
IN THE HOUSE.

AND THE UNSUB APPARENTLY
MADE HIS GETAWAY

IN DR. KAUFFMANN’S
RANGE ROVER.

WE’VE GOT A BOLO
OUT ON IT.

WE’RE ALSO IN THE
PROCESS OF ACCESSING

ALL OF HIS PATIENT
RECORDS FROM
THE LAST 16 YEARS.

NOW, THERE WERE
NO COURIER LABELS
ON THESE BOXES,

SO IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
HE DELIVERED THEM HIMSELF.

THE ONE INDEX CARD HE DID
LEAVE BEHIND HERE READS,

"MADE YOU LOOK, BITCHES.
I REMAIN. GP."

YOU KNOW, I’D SAY
THAT EXPLICIT SHIFT

IN THE REFERENTIAL
DESIGNATION OF THAT
WORD "BITCH"

FROM THE FIRST MALE
VICTIM TO NOW MEMBERS
OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

COULD ACTUALLY BE
SIGNALING THE START

OF A SUBLIMATION
OF MOTIVES.

MEANING YOU THINK
THAT THIS SPECTACLE

OF TAUNTING THE POLICE
MIGHT BECOME MORE
IMPORTANT TO HIM

THAN HIS ACTUAL
CHOICE OF VICTIM?

I DO. AND I DON’T
THINK IT’S JUST ABOUT
TAUNTING THE POLICE.

I THINK IT’S ALSO ABOUT
THE UNSUB’S NEED TO CAPTURE

THE PUBLIC’S ATTENTION.

HAS THE M.E.
IDENTIFIED YOUR VICTIMS?

YES. THEY WERE DUANE VANN
AND RORY STEVENSON.

THEY WERE MARRIED
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.

FORENSICS IS TELLING US
THAT THE SCENE HERE
HAS BEEN TOTALLY STAGED.

THEY WEREN’T KILLED
IN THE HOUSE?

NO, NEITHER KILLED
NOR DISMEMBERED,

AND THERE’S NO SIGN
OF FORCED ENTRY,

WHICH MEANS THAT RORY
AND DUANE MUST HAVE
LET HIM IN.

LIKE ROSSI SAID,
HE PROBABLY KNEW THEM WELL,

AND THEN HE USED
THE PARALYTIC TO
DISABLE THEM.

WHICH WE HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO IDENTIFY
AS ROCURONIUM BROMIDE.

IT’S A NEUROMUSCULAR
BLOCKER TYPICALLY
USED IN ANESTHESIA.

I THINK THAT FACT LOCKS
DOWN THIS GUY’S
MEDICAL BACKGROUND,

BUT WHERE’S THIS GUY’S
OPERATING THEATER?

RIGHT. THE VANN
AND KAUFFMANN HOMES

ARE ONLY THE SECONDARY
CRIME SCENES.

WE STILL NEED TO FIND
THE PRIMARY.

SO WE NEED TO TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT
THE VIDEO HE POSTED

OF DR. KAUFFMANN’S
MURDER ONLINE.

YEAH. WE SHOULD ALSO
SEE WHAT ELSE GARCIA’S

BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT
ABOUT THE WEBSITE
THAT HE USED.

ITS HISTORY COULD HELP US
NAIL DOWN THE PROFILE.

HELLO, GARCIA.

WOULD YOU MIND MAKING
ME A COPY OF THE
DR. KAUFFMANN VIDEO?

UNFORTUNATELY,
SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE
A GOOD LOOK AT IT

TO MAKE SURE THERE ISN’T
ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY
PROBATIVE ON IT.

YOU DON’T NEED TO DO THAT.

YEAH. I REALLY DON’T
WANT TO WATCH A SNUFF
FILM AGAIN, BUT I...

NO, I ALREADY WATCHED IT.

THERE’S NOTHING
DISTINGUISHING
ABOUT THE ROOM.

IT’S TOO DARK.
ONLY THINGS YOU CAN SEE

IS WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY
CONFIRMED ABOUT HIS METHOD
OF OPERATING.

THERE’S A LOT OF BLOOD.
THERE’S A LOT OF SCREAMING.

HOW MANY TIMES
DID YOU WATCH IT?

MORE THAN ENOUGH TIMES.

ARE YOU OK?

YOU NEVER REALLY
LOOK AT...

OH, NO ONE HAS TIMES
FOR MY SENSITIVITIES.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT
I COULD STAND TO HAVE
SOME EMOTIONAL CALLUSES.

I DID FIND SOMETHING
PROBABLY PROBATIVE IN
MY RESEARCH

OF A WEBSITE HE USED...

XXXANADU.XTZ.CU.

IT IS A PORTAL THAT IS
NO STRANGER TO THE PROFANE,

PERVERSE,
AND PUKE-INDUCING.

DARK NET BE DAMNED,
I FOUND THE WEBMASTER.

HER NAME’S GALINA KADLEC.
SHE ALSO OWNS THE SITE.

AND IT WASN’T LIKE I WAS...
WHAT?! SURPRISED

TO FIND OUT SHE’S BEEN
ARRESTED MORE THAN ONCE

BECAUSE WHAT SHE ENCOURAGES
TO BE ENJOYED ON THIS SITE.

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY
UPSIDE DOWN ABOUT THAT WOMAN.

ALL RIGHT, I’LL HAVE
THE FEDERAL MARSHALS
GO AND PICK HER UP.

GREAT JOB.

DUE TO THE ORGANIZED
AND STRENUOUS NATURE

OF THE MODUS OPERANDI,

WE BELIEVE OUR UNKNOWN
SUBJECT IS A MALE

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HIS
MID-TWENTIES AND THIRTIES.

HE’S DEMONSTRATED
SURGICAL SKILLS

THAT SUGGEST A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF MEDICAL TRAINING

AS WELL AS PROFICIENCY
WITH COMPUTERS

INDICATIVE OF A
GRADUATE EDUCATION.

ALTHOUGH IT’S NOT
YET CLEAR HOW HE’S SELECTING

EITHER HIS MALE
OR FEMALE VICTIMS,

THE VIOLENCE AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL SADISM

SUGGESTS THAT HE DOES HAVE
SOME KIND OF AFFILIATION

WITH ALL OF THEM.

WE BELIEVE OUR
UNSUB IS BEING DRIVEN

BY MIXED MOTIVATIONS.

AND BECAUSE OF HIS
PARTICULAR M.O.

WITH THE MALE VICTIMS,
COUPLED WITH THE LINGUISTICS

HE’S USED IN HIS
MESSAGES TO US,

IT APPEARS LIKELY
THAT ONE MOTIVATION

MAY BE DEEPLY ROOTED IN
A NEED FOR RETRIBUTION.

WHETHER IT
IS REAL OR IMAGINED,

THIS UNSUB BELIEVES THAT
THE MEN HE’S TARGETING

HAVE HARMED HIM,
EITHER PHYSICALLY

OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY,
MAYBE BOTH.

SO THEIR PAIN
AND SUFFERING AND DEATH
ARE JUSTIFIED TO HIM.

OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT
UNCOMMON, ESPECIALLY
FOR ANGRY YOUNG MEN.

OUR UNSUB IS
CRAVING VALIDATION

THROUGH A SENSE OF
SUPERIORITY.

AND IF THROUGH NOTHING ELSE,

SUPERIORITY THROUGH
FEAR ITSELF.

AND SO HE WILL CONTINUE
TO TRY TO REACH OUT

TO ANY AND ALL
SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS

THAT MIGHT PROVIDE HIM
WITH A PLATFORM.

THAT’S ESPECIALLY TRUE NOW
SINCE WE HAVE SEIZED CONTROL

OF THE WEBSITE TO WHICH
HE UPLOADED HIS VIDEO.

BUT ALSO BECAUSE
HIS ULTIMATE VALIDATION

WILL COME THROUGH FAME,

THE CROWNING OF CELEBRITY
OFFERS OUR UNSUB

A SENSE OF DOMINANCE
OVER OTHERS THAT

QUITE POSSIBLY SATISFIES
ALL OF HIS MOTIVATIONS.

SO AS HIS PSYCHE FEEDS OFF
THE FRENZY HE’S CREATING,

LIKE A SPREE KILLER,
HE WILL STOP AT NOTHING

TO BURN AS BRIGHTLY
AS HE CAN FOR AS LONG
AS HE CAN.

♪ I’M ABOUT TO HAVE
A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN ♪

♪ MY HEAD REALLY HURTS ♪

♪ IF I DON’T FIND
A WAY OUT OF HERE ♪

♪ I’M GONNA GO... ♪

♪ I’M CRAZY AND I’M HURT ♪

SO GALINA KADLEC
IS NO STRANGER

TO PLAYING IT
FAST AND LOOSE
WITH THE LAW.

SHE WAS ONCE A SO-CALLED
PERFORMANCE ARTIST

WHOSE ART WAS OFTEN
CHARGED WITH VIOLATING

FEDERAL AND STATE
OBSCENITY LAWS.

ALTHOUGH SHE WAS
NEVER CONVICTED.

IT ALSO SAYS HERE
SHE WAS ONCE THE OWNER
OF A COMPANY

CALLED FAU-TYPE WHICH
PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED
ADULT ENTERTAINMENT.

IF BY "ADULT
ENTERTAINMENT,"

YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
FETISHES LIKE

VORAREPHILIA
AND BESTIALITY.

OK, I GET IT.
SHE’S GOT EXOTIC TASTES.

IT SAYS SHE LOST
HER COMPANY IN A DIVORCE.

SHE’S BEEN LOOKING TO GET
HER FIX WITH SOME FREAKS
ON THE DARK WEB.

YEAH, BUT THE QUESTION
FOR US RIGHT NOW IS,

WHY DID OUR UNSUB CHOOSE
TO POST HIS SNUFF FILM
TO HER WEBSITE?

IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE
OR DO THEY HAVE
A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP?

AND IF THEY DO, IS HE
REACHING OUT TO HER

OR IS SHE EGGING HIM ON?

WHY DON’T YOU GUYS
GO IN THERE AND FIND OUT?

I CONFESS.

MY FATAL FLOW IS NAIVETÉ.

MS. KADLEC, LET’S
NOT SCREW AROUND.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT,

BUT YOU KNOW THAT.

THIS IS ABOUT A SERIES
OF HOMICIDES,

AND SINCE YOUR SITE
STREAMED ONE OF
THOSE MURDERS,

THIS IS ALSO ABOUT
AIDING AND ABETTING

AND POSSIBLY CONSPIRACY
BEFORE OR AFTER THE FACT.

OH, I ADORE THE
TAG-TEAM DOMINANCE.

BUT YOU DO MISTAKE ME
FOR A SUBMISSIVE.

WE ALSO FORGOT
AN OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE CHARGE.

YOU KNOW WHO THIS GUY IS.
TELL US.

NOW.

NO.

BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HIM.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY
DIRECT KNOWLEDGE

OF ANYONE WHO CHOOSES
TO USE MY WEBSITE.

IT IS ANONYMOUS.
IT HAS TO BE,

OR ELSE IT WOULD
SUBVERT ITS PURPOSE.

WHAT PURPOSE, PERVERSION?

ONE AND THE SAME.

IT IS RULE 34.

I’M SORRY, COME AGAIN?

RULE 34.

IF IT EXISTS, THERE’S
PORNOGRAPHY OF IT.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

THE XXXANADU WEBSITE
WAS CREATED

FOR PEOPLE TO SHARE
THEIR MOST FORBIDDEN
SEXUAL FANTASIES,

NO NAMES, NO SHAMES.

WOW.
NO SHAME, HUH?

EVEN THOUGH YOU LET
PEOPLE WATCH A VIDEO

OF A MAN LITERALLY
GETTING HACKED TO PIECES.

SO YOU’RE TRYING
TO TELL US ALL YOU AND
YOUR DEGENERATE USERS

WERE DOING WAS...
WAS GETTING OFF?

YES, THAT’S RIGHT.

AND EVEN IF I ACCEPT
THAT IT WAS NOT FAKED,

THIS VIDEO IS
NO DIFFERENT THAN

ANY OTHER VIDEO
YOU CAN SEE ON YOUTUBE,

THAT WAS RECORDED
IN A WAR ZONE,

BUT IT GETS A PASS
BECAUSE IT’S
CONSIDERED NEWS.

OK. MS. KADLEC,
IF YOU THINK THAT
YOU CAN DEFLECT

BY SASHAYING YOUR DEPRAVITY,
YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.

OH, I THINK YOU’RE
THE ONE WHO’S MISTAKEN.

WHAT YOU PERCEIVE
AS MY CALLOUSNESS

IS, TO BE FAIR,
MY REVERENCE FOR
THE CYCLE OF LIFE.

OK, WHATEVER.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AGENTS
DIGGING UP YOUR REAL

AND YOUR DIGITAL LIFE.

I CAN PROMISE YOU
THAT WE’LL FIND
THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN YOU
AND THIS PSYCHOPATH.

WELL, I WOULD ADVISE YOU,
BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE,

TO NEVER MAKE A PROMISE
THAT YOU’RE NOT ABSOLUTELY
CERTAIN YOU CAN KEEP,

BECAUSE KARMA
CAN BE A BITCH.

HELLO?

IT’S ME, MOM.

OH, SWEETHEART.

WHERE ARE YOU?

UM...

I’M AT A FRIEND’S.

BUT YOU TOLD ME YOU
WERE GETTING OUT

AND THEN COMING
STRAIGHT HOME.

I WAS STARTING
TO GET WORRIED.

HAVE YOU BEEN
WATCHING THE NEWS?

YEAH. MOM, I’M OK.

I’M GREAT, ACTUALLY.

GOOD.

WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT YOU?

EMMANUEL?

MOM, I CAN’T COME HOME.

WHY?

SOMETHING’S COME UP,

SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

NOW, I CAN’T SAY ANYTHING.

IT’S A SURPRISE.

BUT WHEN IT’S ALL OVER,

EVERYONE’S GOING TO
REMEMBER YOUR SON’S NAME.

HONEY, MAYBE YOU SHOULD
JUST COME HOME.

YOU’VE BEEN AWAY
FOR SO LONG.

I FINALLY MADE
SOMETHING OF MYSELF.

GOOD-BYE, MOM.

WAIT.

EMMAN...

AVAILABLE UNITS,
THE CROSS STREET IS GALATIN

AND HARPER BOULEVARD.

ANY AVAILABLE UNITS.

HEY. HEY, BABY.

I’M SORRY, I’M GONNA BE
HOME LATE AGAIN TONIGHT.

YEAH, I FIGURED AS MUCH.

I JUST HAD TO TURN OFF
THE NEWS TONIGHT.

SO HOW’S IT GOING?
HOW’S, UM, HOW’S DAVID?

HE’S GOOD. WE’VE HAD
A GOOD COUPLE OF DAYS

HANGING OUT TOGETHER.

UH, HEY,

YOU DIDN’T HEAR WHAT
HAPPENED TO TRINA RYLANCE’S
MOTHER, DID YOU?

WHO’S TRINA RYLANCE?

SHE WAS A CLASSMATE
OF DAVID’S UNTIL
THE START OF THE YEAR.

HE TOLD ME HOW THE KIDS
FOUND HOW THAT HER MOTHER

HAD DIED IN SOME KIND
OF ACCIDENT

AND IT HAD SCARED HIM.

YEAH.

OF COURSE IT WOULD.

WELL, I’M GLAD HE’S
STARTING TO OPEN UP.

LOOK, I’LL TEXT YOU
WHEN I’M ON MY WAY
HOME TONIGHT, OK?

THAT’S FINE, BUT
I WILL BE ASLEEP.

HMM. FAIR ENOUGH.

ALL RIGHT,
WELL, SLEEP WELL,
AND I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.
STAY SAFE.

I WILL.

D.C. METRO POLICE JUST
FOUND DR. KAUFFMANN’S CAR.

IT WAS PARKED NEAR
14th AND "T" IN
THE CARDOZO AREA.

FORENSICS IS
PROCESSING IT NOW.

ANY OTHER CARS
REPORTED STOLEN IN
THAT AREA TONIGHT?

NONE SO FAR.

WELL, HE’S ON FOOT,
MAYBE BECAUSE

CARDOZO’S WHERE HIS
NEXT VICTIM LIVES.

AND WE JUST FOUND
A CONNECTION

BETWEEN THE MALE VICTIMS.

WENT THROUGH
DR. KAUFFMANN’S
PATIENT RECORDS.

IT TURNS OUT 3 YEARS
AGO A PATIENT WAS
REFERRED TO HIM

BY THE NAME OF
EMMANUEL RASK.

MEANWHILE,
I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH

ON DUANE VANN’S SOCIAL MEDIA,

AND AROUND 3 YEARS AGO,

HE SEEMED TO HAVE
A PRETTY SERIOUS
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

WITH THAT VERY SAME
EMMANUEL RASK.

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT RASK?

CHILD PRODIGY
IN MUSIC,

VALEDICTORIAN
OF HIS HIGH SCHOOL.

HE WON A SCHOLARSHIP
TO HALLRIDGE UNIVERSITY,

WHERE HE WAS LATER
ACCEPTED TO
THE MEDICAL SCHOOL.

FROM WHICH
HE WAS EXPELLED?

OH, YEAH. FOR BEHAVIOR
DEEMED GROSSLY INAPPROPRIATE

BY THE MEDICAL SCHOOL’S
CODE OF CONDUCT.

THE ADMINISTRATION
DISCOVERED THAT RASK

HAD BEEN MAKING
CRUSH VIDEOS.

WHAT’S A CRUSH VIDEO?

CRUSHING IS A PARAPHILIA
WHERE SOMEONE’S

SEXUAL AROUSED BY
THE CRUSHING OF OBJECTS
WITH A HUMAN BODY.

TYPICALLY IT’S THE FOOT,
AND THE ITEMS
ARE USUALLY FOOD,

BUT IN RASK’S CASE,
THEY WERE SMALL ANIMALS.

WAS HE CHARGED WITH
ANIMAL CRUELTY?

NO. THEY DIDN’T HAVE
A CHANCE TO DO THAT

BECAUSE RASK WENT AFTER
THE STUDENT HE THOUGHT
DIMED HIM OUT.

HE WAS CONVICTED OF
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.

HE WAS SENTENCED TO
6 YEARS IN PRISON.

HE WAS SERVED TWO,
GOOD BEHAVIOR.

AND HE WAS RELEASED
ON PROBATION 4 DAYS AGO.

DOES HE HAVE ANY
FAMILY IN THE AREA?

HIS FATHER ALONSO
COMMITTED SUICIDE
10 YEARS AGO,

BUT HIS MOTHER JANEL
CURRENTLY LIVES IN
HILLCREST HEIGHTS.

LUKE AND I CAN GO
TALK TO HER.

DR. KAUFFMANN NOTED
HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS

FOR HIM DIAGNOSE RASK
BECAUSE HE EXHIBITED

ALL THE ATTENTION-SEEKING
TENDENCIES

OF A HISTRIONIC
PERSONALITY

WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY
FLAUNTING AN EXAGGERATED
SENSE OF SELF WORTH

CONSISTENT WITH BEING
A NARCISSIST.

WELL, THOSE TWO
PERSONALITY TYPES

ARE USUALLY INCONSISTENT
WITH EACH OTHER,

WHICH MEANS HE’S BEEN
STRUGGLING WITH THESE
MIXED MOTIVATIONS

FOR A LONG TIME.

AND IF HIS RELATIONSHIP
WITH DUANE VANN

WAS AS IMPORTANT TO HIM
AS I THINK IT WAS,

THEN LEARNING THAT VANN
GOT MARRIED WHILE HE
WAS IN PRISON

COULD HAVE TRIGGED HIS RAGE.

SO RASK HAD TO
HAVE BEEN PLANNING
THIS FOR A WHILE NOW.

AND HE KNEW HE’D
NEED SOME HELP,

AND THAT’S WHY HE’D REACH
OUT TO A KINDRED SPIRIT
LIKE GALINA KADLEC.

YEAH, BUT I CAN’T FIGURE
OUT HOW THEY COMMUNICATED
WITH EACH OTHER.

AND YOU
PROBABLY WON’T,

BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO
RIGHT NOW

IS SEE WHICH MEN
FROM RASK’S PAST

LIVE IN OR AROUND
THE CARDOZO AREA.

ROSSI, OVER PHONE:
JJ, WHAT DID RASK’S
MOTHER SAY?

HE CALLED HER
A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO,

SAID HE WASN’T COMING
HOME BECAUSE SOMETHING
IMPORTANT HAD COME UP.

DID SHE RECOGNIZE
ANY OF THE VICTIMS?

ALVEZ, OVER PHONE:
SHE DIDN’T RECOGNIZE
ANY OF THE MEN,

BUT SHE DID RECOGNIZE
ALL 10 OF THE WOMEN
WHO RECEIVED PACKAGES.

YEAH. AND JANEL SAID
THE REASON WHY

SHE REMEMBERED
THESE WOMEN WAS

BECAUSE OF HOW KIND THEY
ALL WERE TO HER SON.

YEAH, LIKE
PATRICIA SORRELLS

WAS HIS HIGH SCHOOL
CHEMISTRY TEACHER

WHO WROTE HIM A GLOWING
COLLEGE RECOMMENDATION,

OR GEENA RAPTIS,
SHE HELPED HIM

WHEN HE MISFILED
A TAX RETURN.

YEAH, THE WAY SHE
DESCRIBED THESE WOMEN,

I DON’T KNOW, IT WOULD
BE HARD TO IMAGINE

ANY KIND OF RESENTMENT
RASK WOULD HAVE TOWARD THEM.

YEAH, YOU’D THINK HE
WOULD BE GRATEFUL
TO THESE WOMEN.

GIFT WRAPPING.

WHAT ABOUT GIFT WRAPPING?

YOU KNOW, I SAW IT BEFORE,

AND YET I DIDN’T SEE IT
BECAUSE IT SEEMED OBVIOUS

THAT HE JUST DIDN’T
WANT THE BOXES TO LEAK,

BUT NOW, I THINK HE
WAS BEING EXACT...

BECAUSE HE WAS
WRAPPING A GIFT.

YOU THINK HE IS
GRATEFUL TO THEM?

YES,
OF COURSE HE IS.

AND HE WANTS TO
DEMONSTRATE HIS GRATITUDE

THE BEST WAY HE KNOWS HOW...

BY SHARING IN
HIS CELEBRITY,

BY WRITING THESE WOMEN
INTO HIS OWN NARRATIVE.

SO IT’S LIKE THE CAT
WHO OFFERS HIS OWNER
THE MOUSE HE JUST CAUGHT.

OK, SO IF RASP REALLY IS
OFFERING UP THANK-YOU GIFTS,

WHAT KIND OF GIFT
DO YOU THINK HE’D WANT

TO GIVE GALINA KADLEC?

SOMETHING TELLS ME
GALINA WOULD ASK

FOR SOMEBODY QUITE
SPECIFIC.

I KNOW YOU.

OH, I DON’T THINK SO.

I’M DAV...
DAVID ROSSI,

SUPERVISORY SPECIAL
AGENT, FBI,

BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS UNIT,

THE SECRET DESIRES

OF SADISTIC
SERIAL KILLERS."

THAT’S RIGHT.

I’M SURE YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT AN INSPIRATION
YOUR WORK HAS BEEN.

AND DO YOU THINK HE’S
A FAN, TOO?

AND IF YOU THINK
THAT DOMINATRIX FACE

IS BETTER THAN
A POKER FACE,

IT AIN’T.

I DON’T KNOW HIM.

LET ME BE CRYSTAL
CLEAR WITH YOU.

UNLESS I WALK OUT THAT DOOR

WITH ALL THE ANSWERS
I’M LOOKING FOR,

YOU CAN KISS THE REST
OF YOUR LIFE GOOD-BYE.

HEH. YOU KNOW, IN
THE BDSM WORLD,

THIS SORT OF ABUSE
REQUIRES CONSENT,

A SAFE WORD,
LIKE "LAWYER."

ARE YOU ASKING
FOR A LAWYER?

NO.

I DON’T NEED
ANYONE TO SAVE ME.

I’VE LEARNED HOW TO
HANDLE MEN LIKE YOU,

MEN WHO THINK THEY
CAN MANIPULATE ME

OR EVEN INTIMIDATE ME
INTO SUBMISSION.

WELL, YEAH, I KNOW
YOU’VE HAD MANY MEN
OF THIS TYPE

IN YOUR LIFE,

GUYS HAVE TRIED TO
RIP YOU OFF, PROSECUTE YOU,

TAKE YOUR FOR
EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT
IN A DIVORCE.

I SURVIVED.

AND NOW I THRIVE.

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY SAY,

YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU ARE.

THAT’S A LIE.

BECAUSE YOU CAN
BE BETRAYED.

YES, YOU CAN.

AND I CAN TELL BY
THAT TONE IN YOUR VOICE

THAT YOU FEEL BETRAYED BY

THE MAN YOU PROMISED
TO CHERISH

IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH
FOR AS LONG AS YOU BOTH
SHALL LIVE.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS,

HE’S STILL ALIVE.

OR MAYBE YOU’VE ALREADY
ARRANGED TO TAKE CARE

OF THAT PROBLEM.

I THINK I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE MY LAWYER NOW.

EMILY, I KNOW WHO
THE NEXT VICTIM IS.

IT’S GALINA’S EX-HUSBAND
BYRON MADDOCK.

SEE, THE TRUTH IS,

ORDINARILY,

I WOULD PREFER
TO GO BAREBACK.

BUT TONIGHT,

I’M TAKING REQUESTS.

WHO...

ARE... YOU?

I’M THE GUY THAT’S GONNA
CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES.

NO. NO.

LET ME GO.

HEY!

HEY.

GALINA SAYS HELLO,
BITCH.

JJ, TALK TO ME.

D.C. METRO POLICE
IS CONFIRMING A BREAK-IN

AT BYRON MADDOCK’S HOUSE.

NO SIGN OF MADDOCK
OR HIS CAR.

WE’RE ON OUR WAY
THERE NOW.

ALL RIGHT, SPENCE AND I
ARE ON OUR WAY

TO MADDOCK’S OFFICE
IN BETHESDA.

WHOA, HOLD YOUR
CRIME-FIGHTING HORSES,
MATT AND SPENCE,

I CAN DO YOU ONE BETTER
THAN HIS OFFICE.

I FOUND HIS ARSENAL.

WHAT ARSENAL?

THE ARSENAL IS A NICKNAME
FOR AN ABANDONED ARMORY

IN ROCKVILLE THAT WAS
PREVIOUSLY OWNED

BY GALINA KADLEC’S
OLD COMPANY FAU-TYPE,

AND THEY USED IT AS
A PRODUCTION STUDIO

TO CREATE FETISH CONTENT
FOR THE FAU-TYPE WEBSITES.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
WHY ARE WE JUST FINDING
OUT ABOUT THIS PLACE?

BECAUSE I JUST FOUND IT
UNDER A BIG CYBER ROCK.

IT LOOKS LIKE GALINA
AND HER EX WERE IN
A SUPER BITTER LEGAL BATTLE

OVER THIS PARTICULAR
PIECE OF PROPERTY,

AND THE BANK HAS
FORECLOSED ON IT.

THAT’S IT.
IT’S THE PERFECT PLACE

FOR RASK TO FEEL
SAFE AND SECURE.

AND I’M SURE GALINA
LET HIM KNOW

EXACTLY HOW TO ACCESS
THE BUILDING.

WE’RE ON OUR WAY.

I’LL MEET YOU THERE.

PLEASE. PLEASE.

LISTEN TO ME.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT
SHE’S TOLD YOU,

BUT NONE OF IT IS TRUE.

WAIT.
WHAT DOES SHE WANT?

SHE WANT ME
TO APOLOGIZE?

IS THAT IS?

IS THAT WHAT SHE WANTS?

TELL ME!

OK, WHEN WE FIND THEM
IN THERE,

I WANT YOU GUYS
TO FOLLOW MY LEAD.

I’M SORRY, OK?

PLEASE TELL HER
THAT I’M SORRY.

OH, GOD, YOU SICK
SON OF A BITCH.

AHH!

YOU KNOW,

GALINA AND I HAVE KNOWN
EACH OTHER FOR

QUITE A WHILE NOW.

HER WEBSITES SPOKE TO ME.

I’D BE ON THEM,
AND I’D REALIZE

I’M NOT ALONE.

SO...

IN ORDER TO EXPRESS
MY UNDYING GRATITUDE,

I PROMISED TO SEND HER
A SPECIAL GIFT...

YOUR HEAD...

ON A PLATTER.

EMMANUEL RASK!

PUT DOWN THE WEAPON.

HELP ME.

BYRON, STAY CALM.
EVERYTHING’S GONNA
BE OK.

MR. RASK, PUT THE WEAPON
DOWN AND PUT YOUR HANDS
IN THE AIR.

SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR.

EMMANUEL.

WELL, THIS IS UNEXPECTED.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

YES, I DO.

I’VE READ ALL YOUR BOOKS.

THAT’S WHAT GALINA
TOLD ME.

SHE SAID YOUR
FAVORITE WAS, UM,

"DEVIANCE."

NO, THAT WAS HER FAVORITE.

ACTUALLY, I PREFER
"EYE OF THE PREDATOR."

EMMANUEL, I’M BEING
VERY SERIOUS NOW.

YOU HAVE MY UNDIVIDED
ATTENTION.

I SHOULD.

YES, YOU SHOULD.

I’M NOT GOING
BACK TO PRISON.

YEAH, BUT IF NOT,

WE WON’T BE ABLE
TO TALK.

AND THEN HOW WOULD
I BE ABLE TO TELL
YOUR STORY?

WE DO HAVE A LOT
TO TALK ABOUT.

YES, WE DO, SON.

BUT IN ORDER
FOR US TO TALK,

YOU HAVE TO FIRST
LET THIS MAN GO.

YEAH, BUT I MADE
A PROMISE TO GALINA.

BUT IF YOU DO THAT,

ALL OF THESE MEN
WILL CUT YOU DOWN
WHERE YOU STAND,

AND I’LL NEVER TELL
YOUR STORY.

WELL.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE
GONNA HAVE ONE HELL OF
A STORY TO TELL, TOO.

COME HERE.

AHH! AHH!

HA HA HA!

YOU KNOW, IT
WAS ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO.

I WAS HAVING DINNER
WITH JASON GIDEON,

AND I TOLD HIM I WAS
THINKING ABOUT LEAVING THE BAU,

MAYBE WRITE A BOOK,
YOU KNOW, ABOUT OUR WORK.

BUT HE CAUTIONED ME.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT A BOOK

LIKE THAT WOULD DO MORE
HARM THAN GOOD.

WELL, WITH RESPECTS,
I DISAGREE.

DAVE, YOUR BOOKS HAVE
PROVIDED AN INVALUABLE
RESOURCE

TO EVERYONE, NOT TO
MENTION LAW ENFORCEMENT.

AND THEY’RE JUST
KICK ASS TO READ.

THANK YOU.

BUT... ACTUALLY,
THAT WAS KIND OF
TO GIDEON’S POINT.

HE WAS CONCERNED THAT
BY TELLING THESE STORIES,

IT MIGHT CREATE A PRURIENT
INTEREST THAT WOULD BE

MORE ABOUT CONSUMING
PORNOGRAPHY.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I DIDN’T HAVE AN ANSWER.

HEY, DAD.
HI.

DID YOU CATCH
THE BAD GUY?

YES.

MY TEAM AND I,
WE, UH, WE GOT HIM.

HEY, LISTEN, I, UH,
I HEARD ABOUT TRINA’S MOM.

I KNOW HOW SCARY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN BE.

DO YOU EVER GET SCARED
AT YOUR JOB?

YES.

MORE OFTEN THAN I’D LIKE.

DO YOU FEEL IT, LIKE
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

OF YOUR STOMACH,
LIKE I DO?

SOMETIMES.

SO THE OTHER DAY,

KEITH DAWSON WAS BEING
LIKE A TOTAL JERK

AND JOKING AROUND
ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW
ON TV, THE COPS,

THEY ALWAYS WEAR
LIKE THE BULLET-PROOF
VESTS, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

SO KEITH WAS SAYING
THAT IT’S LIKE
REALLY STUPID

BECAUSE ON THESE SHOWS,
YOU NEVER SEE THE BAD GUYS

JUST SHOOT THE COPS
IN THE FACE.

THAT’S WHEN I FELT
THAT BALL IN MY STOMACH,

AND I PUNCHED KEITH.

BUT IT WASN’T
THAT HARD, I SWEAR.

I GET IT.

I’M SORRY I
DISAPPOINTED YOU.

HEY, YOU DID NOT
DISAPPOINT ME.

EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES.

WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE LEARN FROM THEM.

I WILL.

I KNOW YOU WILL.

AND LISTEN, DAVID,

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN
SUPER HARD,

AND THE TRUTH IS,
I DON’T KNOW IF GETS
ANY EASIER

AS YOU GROW UP.

BUT I CAN PROMISE
YOU ONE THING.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
IN THIS WORLD,

YOUR MOM AND I WILL
ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

ALWAYS.

COME HERE.

OH, HO HO HO!

I LOVE YOU, BUD.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, DAD.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

PAY NO ATTENTION
TO THE WOMAN

LYING ON THE COUCH.

CARRY ON.

LET’S GET HER.

SIMMONS, VOICE-OVER:
"CHILDREN HAVE NEVER
BEEN VERY GOOD

"AT LISTENING TO THEIR ELDERS,

BUT THEY HAVE NEVER
FAILED TO IMITATE THEM."
