TONIGHT? HMM?

[SAWING]

Hotch: "EVERY NORMAL MAN
MUST BE TEMPTED AT TIMES

"TO SPIT ON HIS HANDS,
HOIST THE BLACK FLAG,

AND BEGIN TO SLIT THROATS."

H.L. MENCKEN.

THIS IS ORANGE COUNTY,
CALIFORNIA.

10 DAYS AGO, JUDY HANNITY,

A REAL ESTATE WORKER
AND A MOTHER,

WAS SHOTGUNNED
ON THE 91 FREEWAY.

SHE SURVIVED THIS?

BARELY. SHE'S PARALYZED
FROM THE WAIST DOWN.

THE SECOND AND THIRD VICTIMS
WERE BOTH D.O.A.

THERE WERE DIFFERENT VEHICLES
FOR EACH SHOOTING.

A SMALL BLACK SUV,
A BLACK SEDAN, A WHITE SEDAN,

NO MAKES, NO PLATES.

NO SOLID WITNESSES?

THE FIRST VICTIM
DESCRIBED THE SHOOTER

AS A NORMAL, MIDDLE-AGED
WHITE GUY IN AN SUV.

SHE GAVE THAT DESCRIPTION
BUT SHE COULDN'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING ELSE?

ISN'T THAT CONSISTENT
WITH TRAUMA?

UH, ACTUALLY, NO.

TRAUMA VICTIMS EITHER
REMEMBER EVERYTHING
OR NOTHING.

SO WAIT--THE THIRD VICTIM
WAS SHOT LAST WEEK,

WE JUST GOT
THE PHONE CALL TODAY?

UNTIL THE THIRD SHOOTING,
THE LOCALS WEREN'T CONVINCED

IT WAS A SERIAL SHOOTER.

THERE WERE DIFFERENT CARS,
AND THE FIRST SHOOTING

THERE WAS A DIFFERENT
WEAPON.

IT'S THE SAME WEAPON.

THE SHOT PATTERN
ON THE SECOND AND THIRD ONE

ARE MUCH WIDER, THOUGH.

HE SAWED OFF THE SHOTGUN.

IT'S THE SAME SHOOTER.

HE'S EVOLVING, AND QUICKLY.

THE MEDIA HAS ALREADY
DUBBED HIM THE ROAD WARRIOR.

THAT EXPLAINS WHY
THEY WANTED US THERE
SO QUICKLY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THIS TYPE OF UNSUB
IS THE HARDEST TO CATCH.

TOTALLY IMPERSONAL VICTIMS.

A THIRD OF THE CRIME SCENE
FLEES WITH HIM
AND HIS VEHICLE.

THE VICTIM'S CAR'S A WRECK.
AND THE LAST THIRD,
THE ROAD,

IT'S CONTAMINATED BY
ALL THE OTHER CARS
THAT DRIVE OVER IT.

SO HOW DO WE GET HIM?

WE BUILD A SOLID PROFILE.
WE RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC

WITH AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
SOMEBODY KNOWS THIS GUY.

AND IT'S MY JOB
TO MAKE THEM REALIZE.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

[SIGHS] THEA SALINAS,
SHERIFF'S COUNTY HOMICIDE.

I'M RUNNING THE TASKFORCE.

I'M SPECIAL AGENT
JORDAN TODD,

SPECIAL AGENTS ROSSI,
HOTCHNER,

PRENTISS...

MORGAN...
HEY.

AND THAT'S
DR. SPENCER REID.

ARE THESE THE VEHICLES
FROM THE SHOOTINGS?

YES.

DID YOU SET UP
THE HOTLINE?

LIKE YOU ASKED.
WE HAVE THE LOCAL STATIONS

PUTTING THE NUMBER OUT THERE.

WE'RE GETTING ABOUT
A DOZEN CALLS AN HOUR.

I'LL ALERT THE MEDIA
TO STAND BY

FOR OUR PRESS
CONFERENCE. EXCUSE ME.

THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
AND THE CHP ARE ON TAC ALERT.

WE'VE GOT CHOPPERS
ON ROUND-THE-CLOCK
FREEWAY PATROL.

THE VICTIMS' VEHICLES, WITH
MAPS, CSPs, AND BULLET POINTS.

EVERYTHING WE GOT ON THE CASE
IS IN THIS ROOM.

ANYTHING SOLID
ON THE TIP LINE?

USUAL NUTJOBS,

CRIME BUFFS,
BORED SENIOR CITIZENS.

YOU MIGHT HAVE GOT
EVERYTHING SQUARED AWAY.

IT'S NOT ME.
IT'S THE SHOOTER.

THE O.C. HAS AN ENDLESS
SUPPLY OF 3 THINGS--

FREEWAYS, NEWS COVERAGE,

AND BLOND FEMALE
LUXURY CAR OWNERS.

PEOPLE ARE PRETTY SCARED?

I COULD ASK FOR A SUBMARINE
AND GET IT.

THE FIRST M.O.
IN THE FIRST SHOOTING DIFFERS
DRAMATICALLY FROM THE OTHER TWO.

DAYLIGHT ON A CROWDED FREEWAY.

THAT'S DOZENS
OF POTENTIAL WITNESSES.

IT'S HIGH-RISK.
HE GOT LUCKY.

WELL, THEN,
HE'S A FAST STUDY.

SAWED OFF HIS SHOTGUN
AND LOWERED HIS RISK

BY SWITCHING TO NIGHTS
AND CHANGING VEHICLES.

WHAT IF HE WASN'T
PLANNING ON MURDER
THE FIRST TIME?

YOU THINK THE FIRST SHOOTING
WAS SPONTANEOUS?

WELL, WE KNOW WHAT
HE'S CAPABLE OF
WHEN HE PLANS AHEAD.

IF I'M NOT PLANNING
TO COMMIT A CRIME,

WHY NOT DRIVE
MY OWN VEHICLE?

SO THE SUV
IS HIS ACTUAL CAR.

BUT THEN, WHY DID HE
HAVE A GUN IN THE SUV

IF HE WASN'T PLANNING
TO COMMIT MURDER?

AND WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE HIM
PULL THAT FIRST TRIGGER?

WE NEED TO RE-INTERVIEW
THE FIRST VICTIM.

[DOOR OPENS]

MS. HANNITY,
I'M AGENT AARON HOTCHNER.

THIS IS AGENT EMILY PRENTISS.
WE'RE FROM THE FBI.

SHE ALREADY TOLD
THE POLICE EVERYTHING
SHE CAN REMEMBER.

RICK...

IT'S OK.

PLEASE.

IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US.

HE FEELS LIKE IT'S
HIS JOB TO PROTECT ME.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE SPOKEN
TO THE POLICE.

I JUST NEED TO GO BACK
THROUGH THE SHOOTING WITH YOU.

IT ONLY COMES BACK
IN PIECES.

WE CAN TAKE IT SLOWLY.

JUST TRY TO PIECE TOGETHER
YOUR DAY, IF YOU CAN.

HAVE YOU SEEN ACCIDENTS
LIKE THIS BEFORE?

A FEW.

DO PEOPLE RECOVER?

THE DOCTOR SAID
SHE HAS A GOOD CHANCE.

IT'S MY FAULT.

NO.

THIS IS NO ONE'S FAULT
BUT THE MAN WHO SHOT
YOUR MOTHER.

I GOT IN TROUBLE
AT SCHOOL. SHE WAS
ON HER WAY THERE.

SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE
EVEN BEEN IN HER CAR.

SO YOU WERE ANGRY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I SUPPOSE.

I KNOW THIS IS DIFFICULT,

BUT EVERY DETAIL HELPS US
UNDERSTAND WHO THIS MAN IS.

COME ON.

[HONKING HORN]
COME ON, MOVE!

I WAS IMPATIENT.

AND YOU CUT HIM OFF?

WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
DID HE SWEAR? DID HE HONK?

DID HE THREATEN YOU
IN ANY WAY?

EXCUSE ME.

OH, WAIT.
HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

HE TRIED TO SPEAK TO ME.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE COULDN'T
SAY ANYTHING.

I WOULDN'T GIVE HIM
A CHANCE.

WHAT? NOW YOU WANT TO
TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS
LIKE YOU'RE SOME CHICK?

YOU DRIVE LIKE AN OLD LADY.

ALL RIGHT, I'M BACK.

NO, GO ON.
AND AS I WAS SAYING...

IF HE HADN'T SEEMED
SO NORMAL...

I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID
ANYTHING.

I...

I USUALLY DON'T EVEN
USE MY HORN,

BECAUSE ON THE ROAD...

YOU NEVER KNOW.

I'LL ASK YOUR SON
TO COME BACK IN.

IS SHE OK?

SHE SAYS YOU'VE BEEN TAKING
VERY GOOD CARE OF HER.

I GUESS SO.

SHE'S LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.

SO...WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE MADE IT PERSONAL.

WHEN THE VICTIMOLOGY'S
THIS SPECIFIC,

WE KNOW THE VICTIMS
REPRESENT A SPECIFIC
PERSON TO HIM.

WHO?

GIVEN THE FACT THAT
HE'S THE SAME AGE AND RACE

AS THE VICTIMS,

LIKELY A CURRENT
OR FORMER WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND.

SO WHY NOT JUST KILL
THE ACTUAL PERSON?

SHE'S JUST A SCAPEGOAT
FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL FAILINGS.

HE KNOWS IF HE KILLS HER,
HE LOSES THAT SCAPEGOAT.

SO HE JUST GOES AROUND
BLOWING AWAY ANY WOMEN?

NO, JUST WOMEN
THAT REMIND HIM
OF HIS WIFE.

WHEN THIS TYPE OF KILLER
IS TRIGGERED,

THEY NEED TO RELEASE
THE RESENTMENT QUICKLY.

SUBSEQUENTLY, THEY TEND
TO STRIKE CLOSE TO THE FOCUS
OF THAT RESENTMENT.

SO IF THE FOCUS
IS HIS WIFE,

THEN THAT FOCUS
IS HIS HOME.

YEAH. HE ALMOST CERTAINLY
LIVES IN THIS AREA.

THIS IS HIS KILL ZONE.

UH, WHAT ARE THESE
VARIOUS MARKERS EVERYWHERE?

UH, ROADWORK.

JUDITH HANNITY SAID
THAT HE SHOT HER

AFTER SHE CHALLENGED HIM
PERSONALLY.

BEFORE THAT,
HE WAS ALMOST APOLOGETIC.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

OUT OF THE 30 ROADWORK
SITES IN THE KILL ZONE,

ONLY 2 WERE
ALTERNATE MERGES,

BOTH LESS THAN 3 MILES
FROM THE CRIME SCENES.

ALTERNATE MERGES?

MULTIPLE LANES
FUNNELED DOWN TO ONE.

ONE CAR PER LANE,
ALTERNATING AT
THE DRIVERS' DISCRETION.

THESE SITES ALLOW HIM
TO SET UP THE CONFRONTATION.

A GUY WHO FOLLOWS THE RULES
MAY LASH OUT ONCE,

BUT TO DO IT AGAIN,
HE'D NEED
SIMILAR PROVOCATION.

SO HE SEEKS OUT
ALTERNATE MERGE SITES,

THEN HE GOES THROUGH THEM
OVER AND OVER AGAIN

UNTIL HE FINDS A WOMAN
THAT FITS HIS VICTIM TYPE
AND WHO CUTS HIM OFF.

SO, WE HAVE TO SHUT DOWN
EVERY ALTERNATE MERGE
IN THE COUNTY IMMEDIATELY.

AND WE NEED TO TALK
TO THE CREWS
THAT WORK THESE SITES.

SO WHAT DOES
ALL THIS TELL YOU?

IMPERSONAL KILLERS
ARE LIKE DRUG ADDICTS.

THE FIRST TIME GIVES THEM
THE ULTIMATE HIGH,

AND AFTER THAT,
NO HIGH IS AS GOOD.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE ADDICT
DOESN'T KNOW THAT.

HE WILL CHASE THAT HIGH
TO THE GATES OF INSANITY
AND DEATH.

BY NOW, KILLING IS ALL
OUR UNSUB THINKS ABOUT.

HE'S SET UP THE EXACT SAME
SITUATION AGAIN AND AGAIN,

HOPING TO GET
THE SAME RESULT.

HE BEGINS TO THINK
HE'S DOING IT WRONG.

HE BECOMES OBSESSED
WITH IMPROVING HIS SKILLS,
HONING HIS M.O.

AND TAILORING HIS WEAPON
TO HIS DEADLY PURPOSE.

HE FIGURES IF HE GETS
THEM ALL JUST RIGHT,

IF HE CAN GET HIS TECHNIQUE
AND HIS TOOLS PERFECTED,

HE'LL FEEL THAT
FIRST HIGH AGAIN.

HE'S BECOMING
A MORE LETHAL ADDICT.

[COCKING WEAPON]

AND HE'LL NEVER ACCEPT
THAT THE HIGH IS GONE
AND IT WON'T COME BACK.

HE'LL NEVER STOP.

NEVER.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY CARS
I SEE DRIVE THROUGH
MY WORK SITE HERE?

YOUR BOSS SAID YOU WERE
THE SAFETY OFFICER
THAT NIGHT?

SO?

SO THAT MEANS
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN
HOLDING THE SIGN

TO SLOW CARS DOWN.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN
IN A WHITE SEDAN,

AND HE WOULD HAVE COME
THROUGH OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN
GOING EXTRA SLOW,

LIKE HE WAS DARING ANYONE
TO CUT HIM OFF.

SON OF A BITCH.

YOU REMEMBER SOMEONE?

YEAH. I THOUGHT
THE GUY WAS LOST.
I MEAN,

I EVEN TALKED TO TONY
ABOUT THIS GUY DRESSING

LIKE A HARD-ASS, BUT
HE DROVE LIKE A CHICK.

NO OFFENSE.

NONE TAKEN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
DRESSED LIKE A HARD-ASS?

THIS JACKASS WAS WEARING
A LEATHER JACKET,
HE'S GOT SUNGLASSES ON,

THEY'RE MIRRORED,
YOU KNOW,
LIKE THE COPS USE.

BUT IT WAS DARK OUT.

HE'S STARTING TO ROLE-PLAY.
HE'S BREAKING FROM REALITY.

Salinas: DO YOU
REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE
ABOUT THIS MAN?

A CAR CUT HIM OFF,

AND HE STUCK HIS ARM OUT
ACROSS THE FRONT SEAT.

BUT AFTER THAT I DIDN'T
SEE HIM COME THROUGH AGAIN.

SHOW ME WHAT HE DID
WITH HIS ARM.

LIKE THIS.

LIKE HE WAS KEEPING
A PASSENGER FROM
HITTING THE DASHBOARD?

YEAH, BUT THE DUDE
WAS ALONE.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

SURE.

WHAT'S WRONG?

A SMALL SUV
IS A FAMILY VEHICLE.

BETWEEN THAT
AND THE HAND GESTURE,

I'M AFRAID THAT OUR UNSUB'S
MARRIED WITH CHILDREN.

WHY DOES THAT MATTER?

WELL, IF HE'S BREAKING
FROM REALITY

AND HE'S LASHING OUT
AT SURROGATES FOR HIS LIFE,

THEN IT'S ONLY
A MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE HE TRIES
TO WIPE OUT
THE REAL THING.

ARE YOU SAYING
THIS GUY'S GONNA KILL
HIS WIFE AND KIDS?

CALL YOUR PEOPLE.
WE NEED TO GET A PROFILE OUT
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE HYPER-MASCULINE DISGUISE,
VICTIM PREFERENCE,

AND THE EMASCULATING TRIGGER
OF THE FIRST ATTACK

ALL TELL US
THIS IS AN UNSUB SUFFERING

A MASCULINE IDENTITY CRISIS.

A MASCULINE IDENTITY CRISIS?

THAT'S WHY HE'S DRIVING AROUND
BLOWING WOMEN AWAY?

NO. JUDY HANNITY
WAS JUST THE TRIGGER.

WE NEED TO IDENTIFY
THE PRECIPITATING TRAUMA.

SOMETHING HAPPENED
IN THE UNSUB'S LIFE,

SOMETHING SO TRAUMATIC,
IT TURNED A NORMAL MAN
INTO A SERIAL KILLER.

SO HE'S SUFFERING FROM SOME
KIND OF PSYCHOTIC BREAK.

WHICH MEANS THE WORLD
HE SEES AROUND HIM

HAS CHANGED, AND SO HAS
HIS ROLE IN IT.

AND THAT OF HIS FAMILY.

HIS PERCEPTION OF HIS HOME LIFE

IS THE KEY TO HIS PATHOLOGY.

AT HOME THIS UNSUB
FEELS LESS THAN A MAN,

A FAILURE AS A FATHER
AND AS A HUSBAND.

[VIDEO GAME BEEPING]

HE FEELS HIS CHILDREN
DON'T NEED OR RESPECT HIM.

[INDISTINCT TALKING]

AND THAT HE'S UNWANTED
AND OBSOLETE IN THEIR LIVES.

AS A HUSBAND HE FEELS
EMASCULATED AND HUMILIATED
BY HIS WIFE.

HA HA HA! YEAH, RIGHT,
THAT'D BE GOOD.

NOW, THESE BELIEFS
AND PERCEPTIONS,
REAL OR IMAGINED,

HAVE DESTROYED THIS INDIVIDUAL'S
MASCULINE SELF-IMAGE.

Prentiss: THIS UNSUB
IS DELUSIONAL.

HE'S NOW DRESSING
IN THIS ROAD WARRIOR PERSONA.

IT GIVES HIM FEELINGS
OF POWER AND PURPOSE
THAT HE CRAVES.

IT IS NOW THE SINGLE
MOST IMPORTANT THING
IN HIS LIFE.

AND HE WILL DIE
BEFORE GIVING IT UP.

HIS NEW FANTASY PERSONA
CAN'T CO-EXIST

WITH THE EVERYDAY REALITY
OF HIS HOME LIFE.

WHICH MEANS SOONER OR LATER
HE'S GOING TO KILL
HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

OUR STRATEGY'S THREE-FOLD.

FIRST WE FIND EVERY
SMALL-MODEL BLUE SUV OWNER

IN THE ESTIMATED KILL ZONE.

2--WE SET UP A SINGLE
ALTERNATE MERGE SCENARIO
IN THAT ZONE,

AND WE MAN IT
WITH OUR PEOPLE.

AND 3--WE RELEASE
OUR PROFILE TO THE PUBLIC.

SOMEBODY OUT THERE KNOWS THIS
MAN. THEY JUST DON'T REALIZE IT.

[TIRES SCREECHING, CRASH]

HEY, NORMAN.

CAN YOU PUT THIS
ON MY ACCOUNT?

I'LL NEED MR. MANNING'S
APPROVAL.

WHENEVER YOU GET AROUND
TO IT.

I'M STILL WAITING
FOR LAST MONTH'S
EXPENSE SUMMARY, NORMAN.

I'M SORRY.

THE GUYS ON THE SIXTH FLOOR
ARE ASKING FOR MY QUARTERLY.

I NEED THAT SUMMARY.

I GOT--I KNOW I GOT--
I GOT IT HERE SOMEWHERE.

YOU'RE AN OLD, BALD LOSER
AND EVERYONE LAUGHS AT YOU.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

LOOK, NORMAN,

THE SIXTH FLOOR DOESN'T CARE
WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE

OR HOW LONG
YOU'VE BEEN WITH THE FIRM.

THEY'RE ALL ABOUT
THE NUMBERS,
AND THE NUMBERS TELL THEM

THAT YOUNGER WORKERS
COST LESS AND PRODUCE MORE.

I LIKE YOU, NORMAN.
I KNOW HOW HARD THINGS
HAVE BEEN FOR YOU

THESE PAST FEW MONTHS.

DON'T GIVE THOSE BASTARDS
ON THE SIXTH FLOOR

AN EXCUSE,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YEAH.

YEAH.

HERE IT IS.

THANKS.

WE ASK THE PUBLIC
TO LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY

TO THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION.

ANYONE WHO BELIEVES
THEY RECOGNIZE THIS INDIVIDUAL

SHOULD CALL OUR TIP LINE
IMMEDIATELY.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A WHITE,
MIDDLE-AGED, MARRIED FATHER.

WE BELIEVE HIS WIFE IS BLOND,
APPROXIMATELY 40 YEARS OLD,

RESEMBLES THE VICTIMS,
AND DRIVES A LUXURY SEDAN.

THIS INDIVIDUAL DRIVES
A BLUE SMALL-MODEL SUV

AND MOST LIKELY LIVES
IN THIS AREA.

IT IS ALSO VERY POSSIBLE
THIS INDIVIDUAL
RECENTLY SUFFERED

A PERSONAL TRAUMA
IN HIS LIFE.

ALL POINTS BULLETIN:

BE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR A WORTHLESS LOSER

NAMED NORMAN, WHO RESENTS
ANYONE WITH A LIFE

AND KILLS JUST TO PROVE
HE'S NOT AN EMASCULATED LOSER.

[SHOTGUN BLASTS]

IT'S VERY POSSIBLE
THIS INDIVIDUAL

RECENTLY SUFFERED A PERSONAL
TRAUMA IN HIS LIFE.

AGAIN, A WHITE, MIDDLE-AGED,
MARRIED FATHER.

WE BELIEVE HIS WIFE
IS BLOND, APPROXIMATELY
40 YEARS OLD,

RESEMBLES THE VICTIMS,
AND DRIVES A LUXURY
SEDAN. THIS...

THEY DO IT TO ME,
THEY DO IT TO ME,
THEY DO IT TO ME,

THEY DO IT TO ME!

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS
DO THAT TO ME?!

MAKES YOU...

DAMN...

UHH! UHH! UHH!

UHH! UHH! UHH! UHH!

HEY, BUDDY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

[LAUGHING, DISTORTED]

[HORN STUCK]

[HORN CONTINUES]

[SIRENS]

JOE KAREM
AND TIMOTHY CALVERT. D.O.A.

NO WANTS, NO WARRANTS.

THEY WORK IN THE AREA,

AND DETECTIVES ARE
NOTIFYING THEIR FAMILIES.

SAWED-OFF 12-GAUGE,
CLOSE RANGE,

SHOT OUT OF THE
DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW,

DRIVING A SMALL BLUE SUV.

THAT'S OUR GUY,
BUT HE WENT WAY OFF SCRIPT.

MULTIPLE MALE VICTIMS,
SURFACE STREET,

DAYTIME ATTACK,
AND HE DROVE HIS OWN VEHICLE.

SOMETHING TRIGGERED HIM
AND PISSED HIM OFF.

WHAT TIME DID THIS HAPPEN?

APPROXIMATELY 2:20.

SINGLE WITNESS SAYS
THE SHOOTER WAS DRIVING

A SMALL BLUE SUV.
DIDN'T GET A PLATE.

MIDDLE-AGED WHITE GUY,
WEARING A TIE.

SUIT JACKET HANGING
IN THE BACK.

PRESS CONFERENCE?

2:20. JORDAN WENT
ON THE AIR AT 2:00.

HE WAS WATCHING THE NEWS.

YOU SAID THE UNSUB
WAS GOING TO BE WATCHING
THE COVERAGE.

Rossi: 20 MINUTES FROM
WHEREVER HE WAS WATCHING
THE PRESS CONFERENCE

TO THIS INTERSECTION.

HE DRIVES THE SPEED LIMIT,
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT

RED LIGHTS AND MID-DAY
TRAFFIC...

NO MORE THAN 10 MILES.

SO HE LIVES WITHIN
10 MILES OF HERE?

I DON'T THINK SO.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WE WERE WRONG.
HE WAS WEARING A TIE,

SUIT JACKET HANGING
IN THE BACK.

AND CONSIDERING
THE TIME OF DAY...

HE WORKS IN THE AREA.

I'M GONNA CALL GARCIA.

[AUTOMATIC DIAL,
RINGING]

GIVE IT TO ME.

HEY, BABY. CAN YOU PULL UP
A MAP OF THE CRIME SCENE
AREA FOR ME?

SUGAR, I COULD SHUT DOWN
THE POWER GRID TO THE WHOLE
CITY IF YOU TOLD ME TO.

YEAH, I'M SURE YOU CAN.
RIGHT NOW I JUST NEED YOU

TO HIGHLIGHT A 10-MILE
RADIUS AROUND THIS POINT.

TRACK ANY CALLS COMING IN
FROM THIS AREA TO THE TIP LINE.

COORDINATE WITH PRENTISS
AND REID, WOULD YOU?

I'M ALL OVER IT. MWAH.

THANKS, BABY GIRL.

YOU THINK HE'S GONNA
KILL AGAIN SOON, DON'T YOU?

AND HE'S DONE KILLING
SURROGATES.

DID YOU KNOW?

EXCUSE ME.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME
OR THE PLACE.

YOU GONNA DO THIS
IN FRONT OF THE PRESS?

HE KILLED THOSE PEOPLE
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I SAID.

NO. WHEN WE TALK
TO THE PUBLIC,

IT'S ALWAYS
A POSSIBILITY.

THAT IS PART OF
THE JOB.

TELL ME NOW IF YOU
CAN DO IT OR NOT.

DAMN RIGHT.
I CAN DO THIS JOB.

GOOD. YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE
ANOTHER PRESS CONFERENCE.

WE'RE ON THE AIR
IN 3, 2, 1...

WE ARE PREPARED
TO RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL

RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE FREEWAY SHOOTING.

THE INDIVIDUAL
IS A WHITE,

45- TO 55-YEAR-OLD MALE

OF AVERAGE BUILD.

HE WORKS IN THIS AREA.

HE WEARS A SUIT
AND TIE TO WORK

AND LEFT WORK VERY ABRUPTLY
SHORTLY AFTER 2:00,

IMMEDIATELY AFTER WATCHING
OUR EARLIER STATEMENT ABOUT HIM.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION,

PLEASE CALL OUR ANONYMOUS
TIP LINE IMMEDIATELY.

THANK YOU.

ONE LAST THING.

THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS
COMMITTED HORRIBLE CRIMES

AND MUST BE
HELD TO ACCOUNT,

BUT HE IS A HUSBAND
AND A FATHER.

HE'S VIOLENT
AND HE'S TROUBLED,

BUT HE MUST BE CAPABLE
OF SOME DEGREE OF MERCY
AND COMPASSION.

AND SO...

WE APPEAL TO HIM...

DO NOT HURT ANY MORE PEOPLE.

PLEASE TURN YOURSELF IN.

NORMAN? IS SOMETHING WRONG?

I'M THE ROAD WARRIOR.

WHAT?

I'M THE ROAD WARRIOR,
THE FREEWAY SHOOTER.

I THOUGHT I SHOULD TELL YOU.

OF COURSE YOU ARE, DEAR.

AND I'M THE ZODIAC KILLER.

WE SHOULD COMPARE
NOTES AT DINNER.

AAH!

[LAUGHING]

Sasha: WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

[SAWING]

DAD CONFESSED.
HE'S THE ROAD WARRIOR.

[LAUGHING]

YOU'RE SUCH A DORK.

YEAH.

WHAT IS
THE EXACT ADDRESS?

WHAT DO WE GOT?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

HOW MANY MIDDLE-AGED WHITE MEN
THERE ARE OUT THERE

WHO HAVE SOMEONE CLOSE
TO THEM THAT THINK
THEY'RE A SERIAL KILLER.

Reid: AND YOU SAID
THAT HE SAW THE PRESS
CONFERENCE, RIGHT?

OK, THANK YOU.

GUYS, I THINK WE MIGHT
HAVE SOMETHING.

THAT'S FUNNY, WHEN I
HEARD THE DESCRIPTION

IN THE FIRST
PRESS CONFERENCE,
I THOUGHT OF NORMAN.

THEN I JUST THOUGHT,
IT COULDN'T BE, YOU KNOW?

HE'S SO QUIET.

WHAT IS IT THAT MR. HILL
DOES FOR YOU?

HE'S IN CHARGE
OF THE COMPANY'S
TRAVEL EXPENSES.

THIS IS HIS DESK.

DOES HE HAVE ACCESS
TO THE COMPANY CARS?

YEAH, THE WHOLE FLEET.

WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST
PRESS CONFERENCE MADE YOU
THINK OF NORMAN?

THE WOMAN MENTIONED
SOMETHING ABOUT

HIM SUFFERING
A TRAGEDY.

DADDY,
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

DADDY WILL BE DONE IN A MINUTE.
JUST STAY IN THE CAR, BABY.

I WANT TO HELP.

JENNY, GET BACK IN THE CAR!
GET BACK IN THE CAR! NO!

HOW LONG AGO
DID HIS DAUGHTER DIE?

6 MONTHS.

I REALLY SHOULD HAVE
DONE MORE TO HELP HIM.

THANK YOU. UH...

NORMAN'S PERSONNEL FILE.

THIS ADDRESS CURRENT?

IT SHOULD BE.

WHY DOES HE HAVE 2 FILES?

UH, WE CROSS-REFERENCE
MARRIED COUPLES.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

NORMAN'S WIFE VANESSA
WORKS HERE, TOO.

WE NEED TO SPEAK TO HER.

UH, SHE'S NOT HERE.
SHE JUST GOT
A PROMOTION,

SO SHE TOOK
A COUPLE OF WEEKS OFF.

GET IN THE CAR.

I JUST GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL.

DON'T TALK BACK TO ME!

NORMAN, WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'LL SEE.

EVERYBODY, NOW.

I'M DRIVING.

NORMAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NORMAN, SLOW DOWN!

NO!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO?

WE HAVE TO GET OUT
OF HERE.

[HORN HONKING]

DAD, LET US OUT OF THE CAR!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[SIREN]

DAMN IT.

PLEASE.
[CRYING]

OK, NORMAN,
THE POLICE ARE BEHIND US.

SHUT UP!
SHUT UP?

[SIREN]

THE POLICE SHOULD
STAY OUT OF THIS.

STAY OUT OF IT?
YOU RAN A STOP SIGN

AND YOU'RE GOING LIKE
100 MILES AN HOUR.

THIS IS FAMILY BUSINESS!

FAMILY?
YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS.

NO. WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
IS WE HAVE TO GET OUT
OF HERE.

PLEASE, DAD, THIS IS CRAZY!

NORMAN, STOP THIS CAR
RIGHT NOW!

SHUT UP!
ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!

[CELL PHONE RINGS]
SALINAS.

WHERE?

WE HAVE A CHASE.
SMALL MODEL SUV, BLUE.

DRIVING RECKLESSLY.
117th AND PACIFIC.

MORGAN, WE HAVE
A HIGH-SPEED CHASE,

117 AND PACIFIC.
IT SOUNDS LIKE OUR GUY.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN,
WE'RE CLOSER TO 117,
SO WE'RE ON OUR WAY NOW.

WE'LL HEAD OVER
TO THE HILL HOUSE.

IF HE'S HAVING A BREAK,
HE COULD BE ON HIS WAY
THERE TO FINISH IT.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
BE CAREFUL.

OK.

[SIRENS]

NORMAN, PLEASE STOP.

WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS
A LONG TIME AGO.

DONE WHAT?

WE CAN'T MOVE ON
LIVING IN THAT HOUSE.

I CAN'T DO IT.

MOVE ON?

I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU COULD.

HOW YOU COULD--
YOU KEEP LOOKING
AT THOSE SAME WALLS,

THE SAME...

THE SAME PICTURES.

NORMAN, WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S MY JOB

TO MAKE EVERYTHING
RIGHT AGAIN.

[SIRENS]

TURN RIGHT HERE.
WHERE, HERE?

RIGHT--RIGHT--
TURN RIGHT HERE!
TURN RIGHT HERE!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

I'M GONNA NEED A LITTLE
MORE NOTICE THAN THAT, KID.

SORRY. SORRY.

NORMAN, PLEASE JUST TELL ME
WHAT'S HAPPENING.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT YOU BLAME ME.

BLAME YOU?

I SEE THE WAY
YOU ALL LOOK AT ME.
I SEE IT.

ALL RIGHT, LEFT.

WHERE?
UH, NEXT LIGHT.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

WHOO. OOH.

[SIRENS]

NORMAN, PLEASE, JUST STOP.

OH, MY GOD.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

[SCREAMING,
TIRES SCREECHING]

I TRIED TO TELL YOU,

BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN.
YOU JUST WOULDN'T LISTEN!

REPEAT, SHOTS FIRED!

ON THE CHASE NOW.

HE'S LOSIN' IT.
REID, DOES IT LOOK LIKE

THE CHASE COULD BE HEADED
TO HIS HOUSE?

UH, YEAH, I THINK SO.
IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE
HE'S STARTING TO GO

IN A WIDE CIRCLE
TOWARD THAT DIRECTION.

OK, EMILY,
