Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 14, Episode 4 - Innocence - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY
ON "CRIMINAL MINDS"...

SPENCER, JUST SHOOT HER!
SHOOT HER!

YOU NEED TO LET US GO
RIGHT NOW!

GET ME OUT OF HERE!

HEY, I MEANT IT WHEN
I SAID YOU SHOULD
TAKE SOME TIME OFF.

YOU’VE JUST BEEN
THROUGH A LOT.

I AM HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY

HOPING THAT YOU WILL
FORGIVE THE MAN
WHO KILLED MY PARENTS

AND GRANT HIM PAROLE.

CARLOS, TALK TO ME.

TALK TO YOU?
I CAN’T EVEN
LOOK AT YOU.



WHERE ARE WE GOING?

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

TAKE ME BACK HOME.

I WON’T TELL ANYBODY.

YOU WON’T GET IN TROUBLE,
I PROMISE.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE.

WE CAN GO BACK.

PLEASE, LET’S GO BACK.

PLEASE
LET ME GO!

OH, NO.

YOUR POOR MUG.

AH, YOU REALLY
LIKE THIS ONE.

BUT, YOU KNOW,
IT’S NOT THAT BAD.



I BET IT COULD BE GLUED.

NO.

IT WOULDN’T LOOK
THE SAME.

I’M SORRY, PENELOPE.

WHY ARE YOU SORRY?
IT’S JUST A DUMB MUG.

IT’S FINE.
I’M FINE.

ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH.

ABSOLUTELY.

UH...

I DID SOME WORK ON
THE FLORIDA CASE,

SOME CYBER-SLEUTHING,
SOME REALLY
INTERESTING THINGS.

I PUT IT ON YOUR TABLET.

YES, I GOT IT,
AND I HAVE REVIEWED IT.

GREAT. I WILL
ROUND UP THE TROOPS.

THIS CAN WAIT.
EVERYTHING CAN...
EVERYTHING CAN WAIT.

NO, NO, WAIT.
SLOW DOWN, OK?

JUST TAKE A MINUTE
AND DEAL WITH THIS.

BUT...
NO, NO BUTS.

I’LL BRIEF THE TEAM,
AND I’LL FILL YOU IN

IF THERE’S ANYTHING
YOU MISS BEFORE WE FLY.

OUR VICTIM IS
MELISSA WALLACE, 39,

A WIFE AND MOTHER WHO
LIVED IN TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA.

LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
REFERRED THE CASE TO US

DUE TO THE RITUALISTIC
NATURE OF THE KILL.

HER BODY WAS DISCOVERED
IN A WOODED AREA

NOT FAR FROM WHERE
SHE LIVED.

SHE WAS FOUND BAREFOOT,
WEARING A NIGHTSHIRT

AND BOUND TO A TREE.

’CAUSE OF DEATH WAS
BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA
TO THE HEAD.

NO SIGNS OF
SEXUAL ASSAULT.

AND THE BACK DOOR
WAS WIDE OPEN,

OTHERWISE THERE WERE
NO SIGNS OF FORCED ENTRY.

LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS
LURED OR ABDUCTED
FROM HER HOME.

THE KIDS, AGED 10 AND 13,

THEY WERE BOTH ASLEEP
IN THE HOUSE.

NEITHER ONE WOKE UP.

WELL, THREATENING
TO HURT THEM

COULD BE HOW THE UNSUB
GOT HER OUT OF THE HOUSE.

WHY LEAVE THE HOUSE
WITH HER

WHEN HE COULD HAVE
JUST BLUDGEONED HER
TO DEATH IN BED?

MAYBE HE DIDN’T WANT
ONE OF THE KIDS
TO FIND HER BODY.

IS TALLAHASSEE SURE
THEY NEED OUR HELP?

I MEAN, EVERYTHING
ABOUT THIS SAYS

THAT THE HUSBAND IS
THEIR PRIME SUSPECT.

EXCEPT THE HUSBAND,
DANNY WALLACE, HAS AN ALIBI.

HE WAS IN TAMPA
ON BUSINESS.

THAT’S ABOUT
A 4-HOUR DRIVE
FROM TALLAHASSEE.

WE’RE SURE IT CHECKS OUT?

YEAH, GARCIA CONFIRMED
EVERYTHING WITH
DANNY’S EMPLOYER.

SHE ALSO PULLED
TIME-STAMPED CCTV FOOTAGE

OF HIM ON THE I-10
HEADING BACK TO
TALLAHASSEE FROM TAMPA.

IT COVER THE
TIME-OF-DEATH WINDOW.

PLUS, GARCIA ACCESSED
DANNY’S PHONE

AND FINANCIAL RECORDS.

NOTHING INDICATES
HE HIRED SOMEONE
TO KILL HIS WIFE.

WELL, GARCIA’S NOTHING
IF NOT THOROUGH.

THAT ESSENTIALLY
RULES OUT OUR
PRIME SUSPECT.

WELL, LOOKS LIKE
TALLAHASSEE DOES
NEED OUR HELP.

THE WALLACE FAMILY
MOVED TO FLORIDA
ROUGHLY 4 MONTHS AGO.

BEFORE THAT, THEY LIVED
IN ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA.

DO THEY STILL HAVE ROOTS
UP HERE IN OUR BACKYARD?

LOTS. THAT’S WHY YOU
AND I ARE GONNA STAY BACK

WHILE THE REST OF
THE TEAM HEADS DOWN
TO TALLAHASSEE.

WHEELS UP IN 20.

"WE LIVE IN
A FANTASY WORLD,

"A WORLD OF ILLUSION.

THE GREAT TASK IN LIFE
IS TO FIND REALITY."

IRIS MURDOCH.

SO VICTIMOLOGY’S
TRICKY.

ON THE SURFACE,
MELISSA LED A
LOW-RISK LIFESTYLE.

OH, YEAH, SHE WAS
THE POSTER CHILD
FOR CLEAN LIVING.

SHE MET HER HUSBAND
DANNY WALLACE
IN BIBLE STUDY

WHEN SHE WAS A FRESHMAN
IN COLLEGE.

THEY GOT MARRIED IN 2005,

TWO KIDS, BOY AND A GIRL,
13 AND 10.

NOTHING OUT OF
THE ORDINARY

EXCEPT THAT SHE
STARTED HOMESCHOOLING
BOTH KIDS

WHEN THEY MOVED
TO FLORIDA.

WELL, THAT’S CONSISTENT
WITH THE ROLE OF FAITH
IN HER LIFE.

77% OF PARENTS
WHO HOMESCHOOL

DO SO OUT OF A DESIRE
TO OFFER GREATER RELIGIOUS

OR MORAL INSTRUCTION
TO THEIR CHILDREN.

BEFORE THE MOVE,
SHE WORKED PART TIME

AS A PARALEGAL.

HOMESCHOOLING TWO KIDS
IS A FULL-TIME JOB.

YEAH, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN
ISOLATING FOR HER.

IT TAKES TIME TO BUILD UP
A SUPPORT SYSTEM IN A NEW TOWN.

ESPECIALLY SINCE
DANNY’S JOB TAKES HIM
ON THE ROAD A LOT.

HER SOCIAL MEDIA
FOOTPRINTS REVOLVES

AROUND THE PLANETS
OF FAMILY, HOMESCHOOLING,

HOMESCHOOLING ACTIVITIES,
AND HER EVANGELICAL CHURCH.

THE WAY MELISSA
WAS KILLED,

IT WAS VERY PERSONAL.

SOMEONE WANTED TO
PUNISH OR SHAME HER.

WELL, THERE’S GOT TO BE
MORE TO HER STORY

THAN THIS
SQUEAKY-CLEAN FAÇADE.

I MEAN, IF THIS WAS
ALL THERE IS,

SHE WOULDN’T HAVE
ENDED UP TIED TO A TREE
WITH HER HEAD BASHED IN.

WE’RE GONNA NEED
TO TAKE A LOOK
BEHIND THE FAÇADE.

LUKE, JJ, MATT,
GO TO THE CRIME SCENE

AND THE FAMILY HOME.

TARA AND SPENCE,
SEE WHAT TURNS UP
AT THE CHURCH.

DAVE AND I ARE GONNA
DIG THROUGH THE LIFE
SHE LEFT BEHIND

IN ARLINGTON.

WE GET OUR FAIR SHARE
OF HOMICIDES HERE,

BUT SOMETHING
LIKE THIS,

SOMETHING THAT
REQUIRES PROFILING,

NOT SO MUCH,
YOU KNOW.

YEAH, WE UNDERSTAND.

I PRETTY MUCH GREW UP
WATCHING ALL THE "CSIs,"

SO, UH, YEAH,
DEFINITELY INFLUENCED

MY CHOICE OF SPECIALTY.

WE APPRECIATE THAT,
DR. CHOUDHURY.

SO WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

TIME OF DEATH WAS
ABOUT OR BETWEEN
1:00 AND 4:00 AM.

THE SOLES OF HER FEET
ARE DIRTY WITH
SEVERAL ABRASIONS.

SO THE UNSUB WALKED
HER OUT HERE FROM THE HOUSE.

YEAH, IT’S
ONLY A QUARTER OF A MILE,

BUT STILL, HE HAD
TO RISK BEING SEEN
IN PUBLIC.

YEAH, HE’D NEED
TO CONTROL HER
WITH SOMETHING.

A GUN WOULD BE
MOST EFFICIENT.

INTERESTING HE DIDN’T
USE A GUN TO SHOOT HER.

I MEAN, CAUSE OF DEATH
WAS CLEARLY BLUNT FORCE
TRAUMA TO THE HEAD.

I MEAN, AS FAR
AS I CAN TELL,

HE DIDN’T USE ANY
OF THE ROCKS, EITHER.

WHAT ROCKS?

THESE.

I’LL SHOW YOU.

I JUST FIGURED
IT WAS THE KILLER
WHO LEFT THEM THERE.

DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE IT.

THESE ROCKS,
THE VICTIM BOUND
TO A TREE,

BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA
TO THE HEAD.

I MEAN, THIS LOOKS
LIKE A SCENE FROM
KIND OF RITUAL.

BUT YOU SAID SHE
WASN’T KILLED
WITH A ROCK.

AT LEAST NOT ONE OF THESE.

THESE ARE LIMESTONE,

WHICH IS A RELATIVELY
SOFT STONE.

CRUMBLES PRETTY EASILY,
WOULD HAVE LEFT RESIDUE

AT THE POINT OF IMPACT,

BUT THERE’S NOTHING
ON THE VICTIM.

ANY IDEA WHAT IT WAS?

THE MATERIAL USED
TO BLUDGEON HER

WAS DEFINITELY
MUCH HARDER.

MY BEST GUESS IS METAL,

MAYBE THE BUTT
OR BARREL OF A GUN.

LET’S GET THESE
TO M-VAC FOR TESTING,

SEE IF WE GET SOME
DNA OFF OF THEM.

WE GET LUCKY, WE MIGHT
GET A CODIS HIT.

THANKS.

WHEN LIZZIE CALLED,
I WAS STILL SOUND ASLEEP.

SHE HAD TO CALL 3 TIMES
BEFORE I WOKE UP.

IT WAS LATE, AND I’M
SURE YOU WERE TIRED.

EVERY PARENT CAN
RELATE TO THAT.

YOU GOT KIDS?

YEAH.

I DO.

DID LIZZIE SEE OR HEAR
ANYTHING UNUSUAL?

ONLY THAT THE BACK DOOR
WAS OPEN.

MELISSA WAS GONE
WHEN SHE WOKE UP.

MELISSA WOULD NEVER
EVER LEAVE THE KIDS
HOME ALONE LIKE THAT.

I KNEW RIGHT AWAY
IT WAS BAD.

AND LIZZIE DIDN’T
WAKE HER BROTHER UP?

NOT UNTIL AFTER
SHE CALLED ME.

JACOB, HE...

HE SLEEPS LIKE A LOG.

AND DOES YOUR DAUGHTER
WAKE UP LIKE THAT

IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT A LOT?

ONLY WHEN
I’M ON THE ROAD.

SHE GOES TO SLEEP
IN HER BEDROOM

BUT CLIMBS INTO BED
WITH MELISSA IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

DANNY, DO YOU
HAVE ANY FIREARMS
IN THE HOUSE?

GUNS?
MM-HMM.

NO, NO, I’VE NEVER
BEEN A HUNTER.

I DIDN’T EVEN GET
TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

I TRIED TO CALL
EARLIER IN THE DAY

AND SHE DIDN’T ANSWER.

WAS THAT UNUSUAL
FOR HER NOT TO
ANSWER HER PHONE?

A LITTLE.

SHE DOES THESE LUNCHES
ONCE A WEEK AT OUR CHURCH

WITH SOME OTHER MOMS
WHO HOMESCHOOL.

THEY’RE REAL INFORMAL.

USUALLY SHE PICKS UP
EVEN WHEN SHE’S THERE,

BUT YESTERDAY SHE DIDN’T.

DANNY?

EXCUSE ME.

I CAN’T BELIEVE
MY BABY SISTER’S
REALLY DEAD.

I’M SO SORRY.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT
WE’RE GONNA DO.

AUNT LAURA, MOM’S DEAD.
SHE’S DEAD!

I KNOW.
I KNOW, BABY.

I’M SO SORRY.

JACOB, HONEY.

I’M SO SORRY.

SO, PASTOR HOLLIS,
WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE MELISSA?

MELISSA STOPPED
COMING ABOUT A MONTH BACK.

ARE YOU SURE
ABOUT THAT?

HER HUSBAND SAID THAT
SHE WAS HERE YESTERDAY.

I’M SURE.

I KEEP A CLOSE EYE
ON MY FLOCK.

SHE ALSO STOPPED
COMING TO BIBLE STUDY

AND TO SUNDAY SERVICE.

LATELY IT WAS ONLY
DANNY AND THE KIDS.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

WHY DO ANY OF US STRAY?

BECAUSE THE DEVIL PAVES
OUR WAY WITH TEMPTATIONS.

I MEANT TO CHECK IN
WITH MELISSA,

BUT I DIDN’T GET TO IT.

THAT WAS MY LAPSE.

MELISSA LIED TO HER
HUSBAND ABOUT WHERE
SHE WAS YESTERDAY.

ANY IDEA WHY?

NO.

SHE HAD TWO
BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN,

AND DANNY’S
A GOOD PROVIDER,

GOD FEARING.

THEY SEEMED HAPPY.

YOU DIDN’T THINK
IT WAS ODD THAT SHE
STOPPED COMING?

IT’S THE NATURE
OF SINNERS TO STRAY.

I ONLY HOPED THAT
SHE MIGHT STAND AS
A WARNING TO OTHERS.

YOU THINK THAT WHAT
HAPPENED TO MELISSA

IS SOME KIND OF
PUNISHMENT FROM GOD?

NOT PUNISHMENT, NO.

BUT SHE GAVE UP
THE LORD’S PROTECTION

WHEN SHE LEFT HIS FLOCK.

BRIAN, YOU WORKED
WITH MELISSA IN ARLINGTON?

I’M THE ONE WHO HIRED HER.

SHE REPORTED DIRECTLY
TO ME AT THE FIRM.

JUST CAN’T
BELIEVE SHE’S DEAD.

THE POOR KIDS.
AND DANNY.

HOW ARE THEY DOING?

I’M SURE THEY’RE
DEVASTATED.

IT’S JUST SO HORRIBLE.

YOU WERE CLOSE.

WE WERE FRIENDS.

GOOD FRIENDS.

BRIAN, YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH MELISSA,

IT WAS MORE THAN JUST
PROFESSIONAL, WASN’T IT?

YES.

BUT IT’S NOT
WHAT YOU THINK.

WE WEREN’T HAVING
AN AFFAIR.

WE WERE, UH...

I DON’T KNOW,

KINDRED SPIRITS,
YOU MIGHT SAY.

AT LEAST SHE HELPED ME
WHEN I WAS GOING
THROUGH SOMETHING

REALLY DIFFICULT.

WHAT WAS THAT?

THE TRUTH ABOUT MYSELF.

I’M MARRIED,

AND MY WIFE,
SHE’S A GREAT PERSON,

BUT...

I’M GAY.

IT’S BECAUSE OF MELISSA
I’M ABLE TO ADMIT

THAT TO MYSELF AND OTHERS.

SHE UNDERSTOOD MY STRUGGLE.

I ONLY WISH I’D
BEEN ABLE TO HELP HER.

HELP HER WITH WHAT?

WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WAS
MAKING HER SO SAD.

WAS THERE TROUBLE
IN HER MARRIAGE?

HONESTLY, I DON’T KNOW.

SHE WAS VERY PRIVATE.

AND THERE WAS
A SADNESS ABOUT HER.

HEY. YOU OK?

YEAH, TOTALLY.

FINE.

THANK YOU.

SURE.

HEY, TALK TO ME.
WHAT’S WRONG?

IT’S NOTHING.
I’M OK.

REALLY, I’M FINE.

THANKS FOR THE COFFEE.

DO YOU
HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT
THAT WAS ABOUT?

I WISH I DID.

BELIEVE ME, I TRIED
TO GET HER TO OPEN UP.

AND I THINK SHE WANTED
TO CONFIDE IN ME.

SHE FELT VERY ALONE,

THAT MUCH I DO KNOW.

WE FOUND THIS
IN THE WOODS

ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE
WE FOUND MELISSA WALLACE.

THAT NIGHTSHIRT WAS HERS.

WELL, THIS IS
DEFINITELY THE WORK
OF OUR UNSUB.

NOW, HE COULD HAVE
TAKEN THIS THE NIGHT
HE KILLED MELISSA.

WHATEVER RELEASE HE
WAS EXPECTING TO GET

FROM KILLING HER
WASN’T ENOUGH,

SO HE DID IT AGAIN,
SYMBOLICALLY.

THE WEAPON WAS
CLEARLY A SHOTGUN,

BUT THERE WEREN’T ANY
SPENT SHELLS IN THE AREA.

AND WE SEARCHED
THE WALLACE HOME

AND DIDN’T FIND ANY
FIREARMS ON THE PREMISE.

WELL, DANNY SAID THEY
DIDN’T HAVE ANY GUNS
IN THE HOUSE,

SO THAT’S CONSISTENT.

HE ALSO SAID THAT
THEY WERE HAPPY,

BUT WE KNOW THAT MELISSA
WAS LYING TO HIM.

WOULDN’T BE THE
FIRST WIFE TO DO THAT.

THE QUESTION IS WHY.

SHE STOPPED GOING
TO CHURCH,

SHE STOPPED SOCIALIZING

WITH THE FRIENDS
SHE MADE THERE.

SHE WAS HIDING
SOMETHING.

AN AFFAIR?

SHE WASN’T
PHYSICALLY CHEATING ON HIM

WHILE THEY LIVED
IN ARLINGTON,

BUT HER RELATIONSHIP
WITH BRIAN SOUNDS A LOT
LIKE AN EMOTIONAL AFFAIR.

WELL, EITHER WAY,
DANNY COULD HAVE
BEEN SUSPICIOUS.

BRIAN THOUGHT SHE WAS
SAD AND LONELY.

AND IF MELISSA WAS
LONELY IN ARLINGTON...

SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN
LONELY IN TALLAHASSEE, TOO.

SHE WAS EVEN MORE
ISOLATED DOWN HERE.

CHURCH WAS PRETTY MUCH
THE EXTENT OF HER SOCIAL LIFE.

IT’S POSSIBLE
SHE MET SOMEONE

AND STARTED HAVING
AN ACTUAL AFFAIR.

SO IF MELISSA REALLY WAS
CHEATING ON DANNY,

IT’S MOST LIKELY WITH
SOMEONE SHE MET
FROM THE CHURCH.

ALL RIGHT,
WE’LL TALK SOON.

BYE.

I KNOW DANNY HAS
AN ALIBI,

BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN
HE DIDN’T PLAY A ROLE

IN HIS WIFE’S MURDER.

ESPECIALLY SINCE MELISSA
WAS LYING TO HIM.

ACCORDING TO EMILY
AND DAVE,

SOMETHING WAS
TROUBLING MELISSA
BACK IN ARLINGTON.

WHATEVER IT WAS,

IT SEEMS TO HAVE
FOLLOWED HER
HERE TO FLORIDA.

WELL, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT SHE WAS HIDING.

HEY, GARCIA, WHAT
CAN YOU TELL ME

ABOUT THE CHURCH OF
THE HOLY REDEMPTION?

THE PASTOR OF
THE CONGREGATION

ENCOURAGES ITS MEMBERS
TO CALL OUT SINNERS
AND SHUN THEM.

WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO LOVE THY NEIGHBOR?

NOT IF YOU’RE A SINNER,
NOT IF YOU’RE PASTOR HOLLIS.

AND HE DOESN’T STOP
WITH THE SHUNNING.

I’M AFRAID TO ASK,
BUT WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN?

THAT MEANS A FEW
WEEKS AGO,

PASTOR HOLLIS PREACHED
ABOUT DEUTERONOMY,

THOSE VERSES ABOUT HOW
ADULTERERS SHOULD BE
PUT TO DEATH.

HMM. WELL, MELISSA
HAD STOPPED GOING
TO CHURCH,

BUT DANNY WAS STILL
ATTENDING SERVICES,

SO WHAT IF HE TOOK
PASTOR HOLLIS’
SERMON LITERALLY?

PLEASE!

NO.

PYRAMID OF ROCKS,

JUST LIKE AT
THE FIRST SCENE.

"LET HE WHO IS
WITHOUT SIN CAST
THE FIRST STONE."

COULD BE A SIGN.

MAYBE THE UNSUB BELIEVES
HE IS WITHOUT SIN

OR THAT HE FELT HIS
VICTIMS HAD TRANSGRESSED
IN SOME WAY.

WHATEVER THE MESSAGE,
IT’S DEFINITELY OUR UNSUB.

SO IF DANNY DID
KILL MELISSA,

WHY WOULD HE TARGET
HIS WIFE’S SISTER?

YOU KNOW, EMILY AND DAVE
CALLED THE FAMILY
BACK IN ARLINGTON TODAY.

THEY ALL SAY THAT
LAURA AND MELISSA
WERE BEST FRIENDS,

CONFIDANTS.

THEY WEREN’T ABLE
TO TALK TO LAURA

’CAUSE SHE WAS ALREADY
ON HER WAY OUT HERE.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO
SIT DOWN WITH HER TODAY.

AND NOW WE’RE TOO LATE.

MATT WAS AT THE HOUSE
WHEN LAURA ARRIVED,

AND HE SAID THAT LAURA
GAVE DANNY THE COLD SHOULDER.

SHE COMFORTED THE CHILDREN,
BUT REJECTED DANNY

WHEN HE TRIED TO HUG HER.

SHE PROBABLY SUSPECTED
THAT HE KILLED HER SISTER.

IF IT WAS MORE THAN
A SUSPICION,

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A POWERFUL MOTIVE FOR HIM
TO GET RID OF HER.

AND HE DOESN’T HAVE
AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI
FOR THIS MURDER.

WE NEED TO TALK TO HIM.

OK. YEAH.
THANKS, GARCIA.

SO THE CAR PARKED
OUT FRONT

IS THE ONE THAT LAURA
RENTED FROM THE AIRPORT.

I PULLED THE GPS,
AND BEFORE COMING
OUT HERE,

THE ONLY PLACE SHE
DROVE YESTERDAY

WAS THE CHURCH OF
THE HOLY REDEMPTION.

SHE WAS PROBABLY JUST
MAKING FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

WELL, MAYBE, BUT SHE WENT
WITH DANNY EARLIER IN
THE DAY TO DO THAT.

SHE DROVE BACK LATER
WITHOUT HIM.

THEY WERE HERE TO SELECT
VERSES AND HYMNS.

YEAH, THAT WAS
THE FIRST VISIT,

BUT WE KNOW LAURA CAME BACK
ALONE LATER IN THE DAY.

SHE WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT MELISSA,
DIDN’T SHE?

LAURA WANTED TO
PRAY WITH ME.

I THINK SHE
WANTED ANSWERS,

ANSWERS THAT ONLY
YOU COULD PROVIDE.

IT’S THE NATURE OF
SINNERS TO STRAY, RIGHT?

AND THAT INCLUDED MELISSA,
DIDN’T IT?

OF COURSE IT DID.

NOBODY’S ABOVE
THE BATTLE.

WERE YOU HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH HER?

NO.

I THINK YOU WERE.

AND I THINK THAT THAT
SERMON FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO

ABOUT ADULTERY WAS ACTUALLY
ABOUT YOUR OWN GUILT

OVER YOUR AFFAIR
WITH MELISSA.

THAT’S RIDICULOUS.

LAURA KNEW
ABOUT THAT AFFAIR.

THAT’S WHY SHE WAS
HERE YESTERDAY.

SHE CONFRONTED YOU,
DIDN’T SHE?

NO. YOU DON’T KNOW
WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

DID SHE THREATEN TO
EXPOSE YOUR HYPOCRISY

TO THE CHURCH,
TO YOUR WIFE?

IS THAT WHY YOU KILLED HER?

I DIDN’T KILL HER.

WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

AT HOME.

WHERE WAS YOUR WIFE?

SHE WAS AT AN
ALL-NIGHT PRAYER VIGIL.

I WAS ALONE.

PASTOR HOLLIS IS LYING.

SO THEN WE HAVE
TWO VIABLE SUSPECTS,

THE PASTOR
AND HER HUSBAND.

BUT NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO
ARREST EITHER ONE OF THEM.

WELL, THERE’S A GOOD
CASE FOR BOTH OF THEM
AS OUR UNSUB.

WELL, DANNY’S
BEEN SUSPICIOUS OF
MELISSA’S FIDELITY

SINCE BACK BEFORE
THEY MOVED TO FLORIDA.

WELL, HE MAY HAVE
BELIEVED THAT
MOVING THEM

AWAY FROM ARLINGTON,
AWAY FROM WHATEVER
WAS GOING ON

BETWEEN MELISSA
AND HER BOSS WOULD
WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN.

BUT IT DIDN’T,
AND THEY GOT DOWN HERE

AND THE SAME THING
STARTED HAPPENING.

SHE WAS DISTANT.
SHE WAS LYING TO HIM AGAIN.

AND THE CHURCH WITH ALL
THE FIRE AND BRIMSTONE SERMONS

ONLY FUELED HIS ANGER,

MADE VIOLENCE SEEM
LIKE A RIGHTEOUS ANSWER
TO HIS PROBLEM.

AND OUR ONLY PROBLEM
IS HIS ALIBI.

OK, WELL, PASTOR HOLLIS
DOESN’T HAVE AN ALIBI
FOR EITHER MURDER.

AND IF HE WAS HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH MELISSA,

HE’D ALSO HAVE MOTIVE.

WELL, HE’S THE LEADER
OF HIS CHURCH

AND HIS COMMUNITY.

IF MELISSA WOULD
HAVE GONE PUBLIC
WITH THEIR AFFAIR,

THAT WOULD HAVE THREATENED
HIS WHOLE WORLD.

WHAT WE NEED NOW IS
SOMETHING TO TIP THE SCALES

IN THE FAVOR OF ONE
OF OUR SUSPECTS.

DAVE.

MEDICAL RECORDS,

MORE SPECIFICALLY,
EMERGENCY ROOM RECORDS

GOING BACK 4 YEARS FOR
MELISSA, JACOB, AND LIZZIE.

EVERYONE ACCEPT DANNY.

MELISSA TURNED UP
WITH A BRUISED RIB
AND A BROKEN WRIST,

JACOB BROKE HIS ARM,
AND LIZZIE WAS TREATED
FOR BURNS ON HER ARM

AND A BROKEN FOOT.

INDIVIDUALLY THEY SEEM
INNOCUOUS ENOUGH.

NO TWO INJURIES EVER
HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME,

AND THEY WERE ALL TREATED
AT DIFFERENT HOSPITALS.

WE WERE OPERATING ON
THE ASSUMPTION

THAT MELISSA STARTED
HOMESCHOOLING HER CHILDREN

BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS
REASONS,

BUT WHAT IF WASN’T
ABOUT THAT AT ALL?

YOU THINK SHE WAS WORRIED
THAT THE INJURIES

MIGHT RAISE SUSPICIONS
AT SCHOOL?

IT’S POSSIBLE.

YOU THINK
DANNY DID THIS?

IT’S HARD NOT TO.

THIS MIGHT BE WHAT
SHE WAS HIDING FROM BRIAN,

FROM EVERYONE.

EXCEPT HIS ALIBI
IS ROCK SOLID.

WELL, I’M TIRED OF
SLAMMING INTO THAT ROCK.

LET’S GO TALK TO GARCIA.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I CAN’T BELIEVE
I MISSED THIS.

PENELOPE, WHAT IS IT?

I SCREWED UP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE CCTV FOOTAGE,
IT’S WRONG.

I WASN’T WRONG, BUT
THE TIME IS OFF BY AN HOUR.

ARE YOU SURE?

I’M POSITIVE.
IT’S BECAUSE OF
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.

THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY
PATROL DOESN’T RESET
THE CLOCKS

ON THEIR CAMERAS
TO ACCOUNT FOR
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS,

AND THAT MEANS...

YOU DIDN’T
SCREW UP.

AND DANNY’S BACK
IN THE HOT SEAT.

YOU GOT TO LET ME
CALL MY BROTHER.

I DON’T WANT THE KIDS
TO BE ALONE.

THE KIDS ARE FINE.

THERE’S A FEMALE
CPS WORKER AT THE HOUSE.

THAT’S NOT ENOUGH.
I NEED TO CALL MY BROTHER.

I WANT THEM WITH FAMILY.

PLEASE. YOU SAID
YOU HAVE KIDS.

I NEED TO DO THIS
FOR THEM.

OK.

WE’LL LET YOU MAKE
A QUICK CALL.

THAT WAS SMART
OF SIMMONS.

HE’S BUILDING TRUST.

I GOT
A PASTOR HOLLIS HERE.

WON’T TALK TO ANYBODY
BUT YOU TWO.

CHIEF BURROWS SAID
YOU WANTED TO TALK TO US.

I DO.

I KNOW HOW IT LOOKS,

AND I WANT TO TELL
YOU THE TRUTH.

THAT’S WHAT WE WANT AS WELL.

MELISSA CAME TO ME
PRIVATELY FOR MINISTRY
AND COUNSELING,

BUT SHE HAD SO MUCH SHAME
SHE COULDN’T BRING HERSELF

TO TELL ME WHAT WAS
BURDENING HER.

I’M A SINNER,
PASTOR HOLLIS,

AND I’M BEING PUNISHED
FOR MY SINS.

WHAT’S TROUBLING YOU?

I CAN’T TALK
ABOUT IT, PASTOR.

PLEASE PRAY WITH ME.

I KNOW I’M WRETCHED.

I KNOW I’M A SINNER,
BUT I CAN’T CONTINUE
LIKE THIS.

I NEED THE MERCY
OF JESUS IN MY LIFE.

PLEASE HELP ME.

I DON’T WANT YOU
TO SUFFER.

SEE, I WANT TO
HELP YOU, MELISSA.

PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ALL RIGHT, LET ME
GET THIS STRAIGHT.

MELISSA REBUFFED
YOUR ADVANCES?

I TOOK ADVANTAGE
OF MELISSA’S TRUST.

I WAS WEAK.

BUT SHE DIDN’T WANT
TO BETRAY HER HUSBAND,

HER VOWS.

DID SHE THREATEN TO
TELL DANNY OR YOUR WIFE?

WAS SHE GONNA EXPOSE YOU?

NO, SHE DIDN’T.

BUT AFTER THAT, SHE
STOPPED COMING TO CHURCH.

SHE CAME TO ME
FOR SPIRITUAL HELP.

AND INSTEAD, YOU
TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER.

I WANTED TO SAVE HER,

I WANTED TO COMFORT HER,
AND I SLIPPED.

I DROVE HER AWAY.

I CAN’T PROVE TO YOU
THAT I DIDN’T KILL HER,

BUT I DIDN’T.

ARE YOU GONNA ARREST ME?

YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE,

BUT WE BELIEVE YOU.

YOU’RE FREE TO GO,
PASTOR.

MY BROTHER’S AN HOUR
OUTSIDE TALLAHASSEE.

HE’S HEADING TO
THE HOUSE NOW.

YOU FEEL BETTER NOW?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, ALL THIS CONCERN
FOR YOUR FAMILY,

IT’S TOUCHING, DANNY,

BUT WHERE WAS THIS CONCERN
WHEN YOU WERE SENDING

YOUR WIFE AND KIDS
TO THE E.R.?

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

BRUISED RIBS,
BROKEN WRIST,
BROKEN ARM,

BROKEN FOOT, AND BURNS.

THAT’S ONE HELL
OF A TEMPER, DANNY.

DOES THAT MAKE YOU
FEEL POWERFUL,

BEATING UP YOUR WIFE
AND KIDS?

I NEVER...

THOSE WERE ACCIDENTS.

HE SEEMS SURPRISED
BY THE ACCUSATION,

BUT THAT HESITATION...

HE’S LYING.

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT
WHEN YOU MURDERED YOUR WIFE?

WHAT?

YOU ACCUSED HER OF HAVING
AN AFFAIR, DIDN’T YOU?

BACK IN ARLINGTON.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

BUT SHE WAS ALWAYS
PUTTING UP WALLS, WASN’T SHE?

NEVER LETTING YOU IN.

NO, WE LOVED EACH OTHER.

YOU MADE HER QUIT HER JOB,

YOU MOVED HER AWAY
FROM HER FAMILY,

HER SISTER WHO’S
HER BEST FRIEND.

DID YOU THINK IT’D
BE EASIER TO CONTROL HER

IF YOU ISOLATED HER
FROM HER ENTIRE
SUPPORT SYSTEM?

WE MOVED BECAUSE
I GOT A NEW JOB.

IT WAS A PROMOTION.
IT WAS MORE MONEY.

SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO WORK.
IT’S WHAT WE BOTH WANTED.

BUT THE CHANGE
OF SCENERY DIDN’T
CHANGE ANYTHING.

SAME SHOW, DIFFERENT CHANNEL.

DIDN’T YOU WONDER WHY
SHE STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH?

PASTOR HOLLIS,

HE PAID SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO HER, DIDN’T HE?

SHE LOVED ME.

MELISSA LOVED ME.

NOTHING MEANT MORE TO
HER THAN HER FAMILY.

WHO TOLD YOU THESE LIES?

HE DIDN’T KNOW.

WELL, MAYBE HE’S JUST
REACTING TO HEARING

THE ACCUSATIONS OUT LOUD
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I DON’T THINK SO.

IF HE DIDN’T SUSPECT
HER OF CHEATING,

HE HAD NO MOTIVE
TO MURDER HIS WIFE.

SIMMONS AND ALVEZ ARE
GONNA HAVE TO PUSH HIM.

LAURA KNEW EVERYTHING.

YESTERDAY SHE WENT
TO YOUR CHURCH

TO TALK TO YOUR PASTOR
BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT

THAT HE KILLED MELISSA,

JUST LIKE IT COMMANDS
IN DEUTERONOMY.

THAT WAS BEFORE
SHE REALIZED YOU KNEW

THAT MELISSA CHEATED ON YOU,

BEFORE SHE REALIZED
YOU’RE THE ONE

WHO KILLED HER SISTER.

OK.

OK, WHAT?

I’M READY TO TALK.

I’LL TELL YOU WHATEVER
IT IS YOU WANT TO HEAR.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
WE WANT TO HEAR, DANNY?

THE TRUTH.

I DID IT.

I KILLED THEM BOTH.
I’LL WRITE A CONFESSION.

I’LL SIGN WHATEVER
YOU WANT ME TO SIGN.

YOU CAN TAKE
MY FINGERPRINTS, MY DNA.

ANYTHING YOU NEED.

HE’S LYING.

USUALLY WHEN ABUSERS LIE,
IT’S TO DENY THE ABUSE,

BUT HE’S LYING ABOUT
MURDERING HIS WIFE.

HE’S PROTECTING
SOMEONE.

WE NEED TO
FIGURE OUT WHO.

HEY.

ARE YOU OK?

I DON’T THINK SO.

OHH...

IT WASN’T YOUR FAULT.

YOU DIDN’T SCREW UP.

WE HAD NO REASON TO
DOUBT THE TIME STAMP
ON THAT FOOTAGE.

I SHOULD HAVE...

DOUBLE, TRIPLE,
QUADRUPLE CHECKED
THE META DATA,

AND IF I HAD, MAYBE
LAURA NYGARD WOULD BE
ALIVE RIGHT NOW.

YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE UNSUB’S BEHAVIOR.

I’M RESPONSIBLE
FOR MY BEHAVIOR.

AND DON’T TELL ME
THAT THIS HAS TO DO
WITH MY ABDUCTION,

BECAUSE I ALREADY
KNOW THAT.

PENELOPE, LISTEN TO ME.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
WAS AWFUL, TRAUMATIC,

AND YES, IT IMPACTED YOU,

BUT THE WAY YOU’RE
FEELING, IT’S ABOUT
A LOT OF STUFF.

LIKE WHAT?

EVERYTHING.

A LIFETIME OF
ACCUMULATED TRAUMA,

YOUR BROTHER CARLOS,
THE DRUNK DRIVER WHO
KILLED YOUR PARENTS.

NO, NO, NO.
THAT ACCIDENT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO,

AND I HAVE FORGIVEN
THE MAN WHO KILLED THEM,

AND I’VE GOTTEN OVER
MY ANGER.

AND I’M GLAD YOU DID,

BUT IT DIDN’T
FIX EVERYTHING.

IT DIDN’T MAKE
THE PAIN GO AWAY.

IT COST ME MY BROTHER.

I FORGAVE THE MAN WHO
KILLED OUR PARENTS,

AND HE CAN’T FORGIVE ME
BECAUSE I BETRAYED HIM.

OH, PENELOPE, NO,
YOU DIDN’T.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

CARLOS WILL COME AROUND.

HE WON’T.

HE REALLY WON’T.

HE DOESN’T WANT ANYTHING
TO DO WITH ME.

OHH.

DANNY IS STICKING
WITH HIS STORY.

HE SIGNED A CONFESSION.

STILL SAYS
HE KILLED MELISSA

WHEN HE FOUND OUT SHE
WAS CHEATING ON HIM

AND KILLED LAURA
BECAUSE SHE FIGURED OUT
WHAT HE’D DONE.

HE JUST PULLED
A COMPLETE 180.

THAT DOESN’T MAKE
ANY SENSE.

AND WE CAN’T ASK HIM
ANYMORE QUESTIONS

BECAUSE HE LAWYERED UP.

IT’S THE M-VAC REPORT.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GET
DNA OFF THE LIMESTONE ROCKS.

THERE WASN’T A MATCH
IN CODIS,

AND THEY TESTED IT
AGAINST THE SAMPLE
FROM DANNY WALLACE.

LET ME GUESS,

NOT A MATCH?
NO, IT’S NOT.

DANNY’S NOT OUR UNSUB.

ALL RIGHT, LET’S GO BACK
OVER WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW.

WELL, ONE THING’S
FOR CERTAIN...

MELISSA WALLACE
HAD A SECRET,

A SECRET THAT WEIGHED
VERY HEAVILY ON HER.

WHATEVER THAT SECRET
WAS IT PUT A STRAIN
ON HER MARRIAGE.

DANNY BELIEVED THAT
MOVING CROSS COUNTRY

WOULD GIVE THEM
A NEW BEGINNING,

SO THEY PULLED UP STAKES
AND MOVED TO FLORIDA.

EVEN WITH A CHANGE
OF SCENERY, MELISSA
WAS STILL TROUBLED.

SHE WAS NO LONGER WORKING
OUTSIDE OF THE HOME,

BUT SHE WAS HOMESCHOOLING
BOTH OF THEIR CHILDREN.

THAT’S SORT OF
STRANGE, ISN’T IT?

WHAT, THE HOMESCHOOLING?

YEAH. NORMALLY WHEN
PEOPLE MOVE TO A NEW TOWN,

THEY WANT TO MAKE TIES
IN THE COMMUNITY.

SENDING THEIR KIDS
TO SCHOOL WOULD HAVE
ALLOWED THEM TO DO THAT,

BUT INSTEAD THEY CHOSE
TO HOMESCHOOL.

SO MAYBE THEIR SCHOOL
BACK IN ARLINGTON
HAS SOME ANSWERS.

PENELOPE’S REALLY HURTING.

POOR KID. I’M SURPRISED
HER BROTHER HASN’T
REACHED OUT TO HER.

I KNOW, BUT HE HASN’T.

CARLOS HAS NO IDEA
WHAT SHE’S BEEN THROUGH

THE PAST FEW MONTHS.

NO WONDER SHE’S
FEELING ISOLATED.

YOU WANTED TO KNOW
ABOUT THE WALLACE KIDS?

YES. THEY WENT TO SCHOOL HERE.
DO YOU REMEMBER THEM?

ABSOLUTELY.
JACOB AND LIZZIE.

I CAN’T SAY I WAS UPSET
TO SEE THEM GO.

WHY’S THAT?

THE FAMILY HAD ISSUES.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS
TERRIBLE, BUT IT’S TRUE.

ACTUALLY, IT WASN’T
THE WHOLE FAMILY.

LIZZIE WAS A SWEETHEART.

AND THE PARENTS
WERE LOVELY,

BUT JACOB, HE WAS
A HANDFUL.

HE HAD BEHAVIORAL ISSUES?

THAT’S PUTTING IT MILDLY.

USUALLY BOYS START
SETTLING DOWN AROUND
THIRD GRADE,

EVEN THE SPIRITED ONES.

BUT JACOB DIDN’T?

JUST THE OPPOSITE.

HE BECAME MORE
AND MORE UNRULY,

TO THE POINT THAT HE WAS
INJURING OTHER STUDENTS.

HIS IMPULSE CONTROL
WAS NON-EXISTENT,

AND HE WAS EXTREMELY
DISRUPTIVE.

I ENCOURAGED MELISSA
AND DANNY TO HAVE HIM
EVALUATED,

BUT THEY RESISTED.

SOME PARENTS WORRY
THEIR CHILDREN WILL
BE STIGMATIZED

BY A DIAGNOSIS.

THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
A RATIONAL FEAR IN
JACOB’S CASE.

IF HE’D STAYED, I WAS
PREPARED TO REQUIRE HIM
TO HAVE A SHADOW

FOR THE PROTECTION OF
THE OTHER STUDENTS.

I WAS RELIEVED WHEN
MELISSA SAID THEY WERE
MOVING OUT OF STATE.

MA’AM.

IF YOU’LL EXCUSE ME,

I HAVE A MINOR BRUSHFIRE
I NEED TO PUT OUT.

JACOB.
MM-HMM.

THAT WAS MELISSA’S SECRET,
DANNY’S, TOO.

AND IT EXPLAINS
HER SHAME, THE GUILT.

EVEN IF IT WAS IRRATIONAL,
SHE FELT LIKE GOD
WAS PUNISHING HER

BY GIVING HER A SON
SHE COULDN’T CONTROL.

EVEN IF HE WAS VIOLENT
WITH OTHER KIDS AT SCHOOL,

EVEN WITH IMPULSE
CONTROL ISSUES,

WHY WOULD JACOB KILL
HIS OWN MOTHER?

HEY, PENELOPE.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?

GARCIA, ON PHONE:
I HAVE THE DNA RESULTS

FROM THE ROCK AT
THE CRIME SCENE,

AND I PULLED IT THROUGH
SOME OTHER DATABASES,

AND I GOT A HIT.

YOU GOT A NAME?
NOT YET,

’CAUSE IT’S NOT A
LAW ENFORCEMENT DATABASE.

WHAT IS IT?

IT’S ONE OF THOSE
RECREATIONAL GENETIC SITES.

IT’S CALLED MY DNA MAP.

SO OUR UNSUB SPIT
INTO A TUBE

AND SENT AWAY
FOR A PROFILE?

YEAH. I’M IN.

YOU GOT A NAME?

OH, MY GOD,
IT’S THEIR SON,

JACOB WALLACE.

THAT CAN’T BE RIGHT.
JACOB’S ONLY 13.

WHY WOULD JACOB BE
LOOKING FOR DNA RELATIVES?

OH, LOOKS LIKE
HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE

A FAMILY TREE TO GIVE
TO HIS PARENTS.

HE TRIED TO CONNECT
WITH DNA MATCHES,

NO WALLACE COUSINS
ON HIS FATHER’S SIDE.

OH, JACOB WALLACE ISN’T
DANNY’S BIOLOGICAL SON.

THAT EXPLAINS WHY
THE DNA ON THE ROCKS
DIDN’T MATCH DANNY’S.

THAT’D BE ONE HELL
OF A TRIGGER.

THERE’S ANOTHER DNA SAMPLE
IN JACOB’S ACCOUNT.

IT’S LIZZIE WALLACE.

HIS SISTER?

HIS HALF-SISTER.

WAIT, IS DANNY
HER BIOLOGICAL FATHER?

YEAH, HE IS.

JACOB MUST HAVE SENT IN
ANOTHER SAMPLE FOR LIZZIE

TO SEE IF SHE WAS
THE BIOLOGICAL CHILD
OF BOTH OF HIS PARENTS.

WELL, THE RESULTS ARE LIVE,
SO HE KNOWS SHE IS.

DNA RESULTS MEAN
THAT LIZZIE IS
HIS NEXT TARGET.

WHEN’S DAD COMING HOME?

HE SAID HE’D BE BACK
BEFORE WE WENT TO SLEEP
LAST NIGHT.

LET’S GO FOR A WALK.

IT’LL TAKE YOUR MIND
OFF THINGS.

I DON’T WANT TO.
I WANT TO WAIT FOR DAD.

COME ON!

OPEN THE DOOR, LIZZIE!

OPEN IT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHERE’S YOUR SISTER?

WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?

NO! PLEASE!

LET’S GO!

CLEAR!

CLEAR.

TOO LATE.

ALL RIGHT,
WHERE WOULD HE TAKE LIZZIE?

HE’S ON FOOT.
HE’S DECOMPENSATING.

WE’RE CLOSE BY THE SPOT
WHERE HE KILLED HIS MOM.

BACK DOOR’S OPEN.

JACOB.

STAY BACK.

I’LL SHOOT HER.
OK.

OK. HEY, I DON’T WANT
TO HURT YOU.

I JUST WANT TO TALK.

YOU JUST WANT ME TO
PUT THE GUN DOWN.

I DO.
I DO WANT THAT.

I DON’T WANT ANYONE
ELSE TO GET HURT.

JACOB, I KNOW ABOUT
THE MY DNA MAP TEST.

I KNOW WHAT YOU
FOUND OUT.

MY MOM LIED.
I KNOW.

SHE’S A LIAR AND A SINNER,
AND SHE MADE ME A BASTARD.

I KNOW HOW ANGRY THAT
MUST HAVE MADE YOU.

SHE WAS AN ADULTERER.

AT CHURCH THEY TOLD US
ADULTERY WAS PUNISHABLE
BY DEATH.

IT SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE.

I UNDERSTAND HOW
ANGRY YOU ARE,

AND YOU KNOW WHAT,
IT WAS NOT FAIR

OF HER TO LIE TO YOU.

SHE LIED TO MY DAD, TOO.

SHE TRICKED HIM.

MY AUNT LAURA HELPED
HER TRICK HIM.

YOUR MOM TOLD YOU THAT?
YEAH.

AFTER I GOT THE
MY DNA MAP RESULTS.

SHE SAID SORRY, BUT
THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.

IT’S NOT ENOUGH.
SHE TOOK MY DAD
AWAY FROM ME.

JACOB, YOUR DAD LOVES YOU.

HE’S NOT MY DAD!

A FAMILY IS SO MUCH
MORE THAN BLOOD, JACOB.

IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN DNA.

YOU KNOW,
HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH

THAT HE CONFESSED
TO BOTH MURDERS
TO PROTECT YOU.

THAT’S ONLY
BECAUSE HE THINKS
THAT HE’S MY DAD.

NO, JACOB, NO.
HE... HE KNOWS THE TRUTH.

HE’S ALWAYS KNOWN.

AND IT DIDN’T MATTER
TO HIM, IT DIDN’T.

BECAUSE, JACOB,
HE LOVES YOU.

OK. YOU OK?

YEAH.

ARE YOU SURE SHE
WANTS TO SEE ME?

OH, YEAH, I’M SURE.

ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK.

MY UNICORN MUG.

I THREW THAT AWAY.

I KNOW. I RESCUED IT.
I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND.

NO, I DON’T MIND AT ALL.

OH, GOOD, ’CAUSE
I COULDN’T HELP IT.

I WANTED TO PUT IT
BACK TOGETHER FOR YOU.

AND WHEN I WAS FIXING IT,
I REALIZED SOMETHING.

YOU ARE NOT THE MUG.

YOU’RE THE GLUE THAT HOLDS
THE MUG TOGETHER.

COME ON.

THANK YOU

FOR LISTENING TO ME

AND FOR UNDERSTANDING ME

AND FOR BEING MY
MOST SPECIAL FRIEND

AND MY BOSS
AT THE SAME TIME.

OK. WELL, I HOPE YOU
STILL FEEL THAT WAY

WHEN I TELL YOU THERE’S
SOMEONE HERE WHO WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU.

DAVE AND I ASKED HIM TO COME.

CARLOS.

HEY, SIS.

DID DAVID ROSSI
MAKE YOU COME HERE

UNDER THREAT OF
BODILY HARM?

NO, I’M HERE
’CAUSE I WANT TO BE.

I’M GONNA
LEAVE YOU TWO ALONE.

I WANTED TO...
YOU LOOK GOOD.

LOOK, I KNOW
YOU’RE MAD AT ME

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE PAROLE HEARING,

AND I DON’T KNOW
HOW TO MAKE YOU
NOT BE MAD AT ME.

LOOK, DO I UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU COULD FORGIVE

THE MAN WHO MURDERED
OUR PARENTS? NO.

I DON’T.

I MIGHT NEVER UNDERSTAND.

BUT I KNOW YOU,
AND I KNOW IT...

CAME FROM A GOOD PLACE.

THANK YOU.

EMILY AND DAVE, THEY TOLD ME
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

IT WAS BAD.
I KNOW.

I THOUGHT I WAS
GOING TO DIE.

I’M SO SORRY.

IT’S PART OF THE JOB.
IT’S OK.

NO, IT’S NOT OK,

’CAUSE I’M YOUR BROTHER.

I’M SUPPOSED TO KNOW
WHEN YOU’RE IN TROUBLE.

HEY.

GARCIA, VOICE-OVER:
"WHEN WOUNDS ARE HEALED BY LOVE,

THE SCARS ARE BEAUTIFUL."
