Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 4, Episode 20 - Conflicted - full transcript

How are you feeling today?

You let me smoke.

What more can I ask for?

Most patients
Have a hard time

Coping with
new surroundings.

They probably believe
they'll be released.

I'm not so naive.

You don't believe
you'll be getting out?

Would you let me out?

I'd like to talk
about Adam.

He's still missing.



So I've heard.

Will you help us find him?

No.

Why not?

What more
do you need to hide?

I'm not hiding anything.

And I think the better
question would be,

What are you looking for...

Dr. Reid?

I think you know
what I'm looking for.

I want to hear you say it.

I am looking for adam.

Just because you caught me

Doesn't mean you'll find him.



You're not that smart.

This isn't about
being smart.

This is about
doing the right thing.

I did the right thing.

[crowd cheering, shouting]

[song playing, indistinct]

[laughter and loud chatter]

[beeping]

Chandler, looks like
I got the night off after all.

Yeah, what she don't know
Only makes it that much better.

[laughs]

Yeah, sounds like a plan.

Right.

I'm gonna change
And I'll, uh...

I'll hit you back.

Hey, I saw you earlier,
didn't i?

My name's Dan.

[song playing softly]

[loud music playing]

[muffled screaming]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Adam.

Adam!

Where's madison?
I thought you were off.

Oh, she wasn't feeling well,
so I sent her home.

Listen, we had another
early checkout,

So could you turn it over
before you clock out?

What, I'm a cleaning lady now?

I'm your boss, and you'll be-

whatever I want you to be.

Ok. What room?

319.

[heavy metal playing]

[gasps]

Daniel Keller, 21,

A junior at benjamin
Franklin university.

He was killed last night
while spring breaking

In south Padre Island.

C.O.D. Asphyxiation.

He was the second victim to be
murdered there in the past 3 nights.

The first was william browder,
also on spring break,

C.O.D. asphyxiation.

They were both sexually
assaulted prior to death.

Men being raped and murdered
on spring break?

Well, that's a twist.

So far the deaths have been
localized to one hotel.

The Hudson Street Hotel.

Initially, the hotel
was filled to capacity

But lost 20% occupancy overnight.

We should get a list
of everyone who works there.

There's a good chance
one of them is the unsub,

At the very least
has interacted with him.

Yeah, Garcia's already on that.

Both victims were discovered
by hotel staff,

The last after online checkout
indicated the room had been vacated.

So he wanted the bodies discovered,
and sooner rather than later.

Reid: look at the way
they're posed--

Naked, cowering
in the fetal position.

He's sending a message. Something
about this is important to him.

We just need to figure out what.

And we need to do it soon.

The police suspect the unsub could
be another vacationing student,

Though I'm not willing
to rule out local involvement.

Makes sense.
If the killer is a student,

They could be halfway across the
country by the time we're onto them.

If he's a local,
we could lose him

As soon as his
victim pool dries up.

Either way, we're almost
out of time.

South padre spring break
season ends this weekend.

[muffled screaming]

Reid: "Light thinks it travels
faster than anything.

"But it is wrong.

"No matter how fast
light travels,

"it finds the darkness
has always gotten there first.

And is waiting for it."

Terry Pratchett.

National media has picked up
on this story.

We're gonna have to make
a statement when we land.

We want to make people aware

Without obviously
causing panic.

Stress hypervigilance,
the whole buddy system,

Yeah, I'm all over it. I just
don't think anyone's gonna listen.

What do you mean?

Come on. Drunk college students
Don't exactly want to hear

They shouldn't talk
To strangers.

Right.

Was there any dna
Left on the scene?

Uh, yeah. Too much dna.

This portion of the garcia show
Will be brought to you

By the letter "i" for icky.

The lab has recovered

Over 100 different
Trace samples,

As multiple guests
Create a cesspool of dna.

Also, there is no way
To determine

The exact time
Of "secretion"

Or to eliminate anyone
Actually working at the hotel.

Were you able to find
Any connection between

The first two victims?

No. They grew up
In different states,

The went to colleges
On opposite coasts,

I did the whole cross-reference
Credit card thing,

Couldn't make it connect.

So the hotel's
The only common denominator.

Yeah. And it should be noted
That the first victim,
William browder,

Wasn't exactly
A registered guest.

Well, that's a popular
Thing to do.

I mean, youngsters do it
All the time.

They rent a room, they pack in
As many kids as possible
To save costs.

We could be dealing with
Hundreds of unregistered guests.

We need to check every
Guest, whether they were
On the books or not.

Male raping male.

So are we presuming our unsub
Or victims could be gay?

That's not necessarily true.

In male rape, sexual preference

Typically has less to do
With the crime

Than the power and dominance
The attacker feels
From the act itself.

Still, it's a question
We should ask the families

When we interview them.
It could help us

Determine how
The unsub met the victims.

We got a lot of work to do.

Emily, jj, and I will go to
The local p.d.

And start victimology.

The rest of you,
There's your new home.

You must be the fbi.

David rossi.

These are agents morgan
And reid.

Julie riley.
I'm the manager.

You were on duty when
The latest body was discovered?

That's right.

Did you happen to notice
Anyone out of the ordinary?

I'm afraid not.

You see so many faces
During the spring break,

Pretty soon they all
Start to blur.

We need to set up interviews
With the rest of your staff

As soon as possible, also
Talk to the hotel guests.

Of course.

How many cameras do you
Have on the property?

Not enough.

We have all the main entrances

And the garage covered.

But the hallways
And the service tunnels
Aren't equipped.

Can you show us the room
Where the last body was found?

Um, I'll start rounding up
The rest of the staff

For you to talk to.

Thanks.

No signs of struggle reported.

Everything seemed normal
When housekeeping arrived.

Look at this.

Scratch marks
On the footboard.

The victims were bound
Before the struggle began.

Well,
That would make sense.

Both victims were
In pretty good shape.

Probably needed them tied up
In order to control them.

The question is,
Was it consensual

Or was it coerced?

Reese evans.

Agent hotchner.
These are agents
Prentiss and jareau.

Hello.

Well, thanks
For being here.

If it's all right with you,

We'd like to talk to the
Victim's friends and family
As soon as possible.

Of course. Michael browder,

The father
Of the first victim

Has just arrived
To claim his son's body.

And the second victim's
Girlfriend should be here
Within the hour.

Does, uh, mr. Browder
Know the details

Of his son's murder.

Not everything. I mean,
There were certain matters

I didn't want to bring up
On the phone.

If you don't mind,
We'd like

To handle that ourselves.
We're gonna have to ask him

A few difficult questions
About his son.

Honestly, I have been
Dreading it all day.

I'll talk to the girlfriend.
Right this way.

So if I'm the unsub
And it wasn't consensual,

How does this work?

You'd have to
Have a weapon.

A gun to the face

Means he doesn't scream out.

Look at the distance

Between where each
Of the arms were tied.

There's no way
He could have tied
That second hand himself.

Which means the unsub
Did it for him.

Which would be risky,
Because if he knew
He was in danger

And he saw the opportunity,
He would take it.

Then why not drug him
And then tie him up?

Eliminate the risk.

The tox screen came back
Negative.

So it's either consensual
Or he has a partner.

He's also learning fast.

What do you mean?

He hides the body
In the closet

And then indicates
That the guest has checked out.

Which means when the
Housekeeper gets here...

Rossi: everything
Looks normal
And she starts cleaning,

Wiping everything down.

Erasing any fingerprints
Or dna which could have
Been left on the scene.

We need to talk
To whoever
Cleaned this room.

Maybe they saw something
That can tell us

Who was in here
With dan keller.

Mr. Browder, did your son
Have any history of drug abuse?

Marijuana,
Methamphetamine, anything?

None. He was an athlete
In high school and college.

Tested regularly.

Did he mention anything
About meeting someone here

In south padre?

Old acquaintances?

He came down with some
Friends from his school.

They wanted to blow off
Steam before finals.

Mr. Browder,
Was your son gay?

He had had sex with a man
Before he died.

Knowing whether or not
It was consensual

Will help us determine
How he was targeted.

Adam jackson?

Your manager said
We could find you up here.

Uh--i--i get migraines.

You discovered
The body last night?

Yeah.

Had you ever
Seen him before?

Or noticed anyone
He may have been with?

I've never seen him
Before in my life

Until I opened the closet, and
I can't get him out of my head.

Adam, what about the first
Victim, william browder?

Have you ever seen him
Before?

Never seen either of them.

Let me ask you this--
Is there anything

You remember about the room
Before you discovered
The body? Uh...

It might not seem
Like much,
But the smallest detail

Could really help us
A lot.

It looked pretty normal.

I mean, until I opened
The closet door.

Did anything stand out
About the body?

Or, uh, for that matter,
Anyone at the hotel
Last night?

No, man. You seen
One drunk frat guy,
You seen 'em all.

Adam, I thought you said
You didn't recognize him.

I didn't.

I just--i grew up
In corpus christi

Across the bridge.
I know the type.

They walk around like
They own the place,

You know?
Think they can do
Whatever they want.

Reid: how long
Have you worked here?

6 months, I guess.

Appreciate your time.

Thank you.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Uh...

You've seen bad stuff,
Right?

I have, yeah.

How long before
You can close your eyes
Without it being there?

I'm afraid
I still don't know.

Morgan and reid
Are finishing the interview.

What did you learn?

It doesn't look like either
Of our victims was gay.

Dan keller's girlfriend
Describes him

As overtly sexual and
Aggressive towards women.

It caused quite a few
Problems in their
Relationship.

And his friends said
They were out partying
Prior to his death,

And he was definitely
Willing to overlook

The fact that he had
A girlfriend.

Does that match with what
You found at the scene?

Yes and no.

What do you mean?

The victims
Were both big guys,

Yet there were no signs
Of a struggle.

We profiled it as either
Being consensual or...

The unsub had a partner.

Sounds right.
What's your hesitation?

What if it was both?

How so?

Well, even if he was
Confronted by two men,

The first reaction
Of an alpha male
Would be to fight.

But not if it were a woman.

It's spring break.

She lures the victim
To her hotel room,

Ties him up, then
Once he's subdued...

Her partner arrives.

That could explain
The posing and the rape.

The victims are alpha males
With aggressive sexual
Tendencies.

The unsub treats his victims
The way they treat women.

So we have a team.

A woman who lures them
Back to their hotel room
And ties them up...

And a man who rapes
And murders them.

[music playing]

Thanks, man.

Oh, look at that.

Whoa ho,
Where are you going?

Don't worry about it.

Your unsubs
Have changed hotels.

What can you tell us?

The vic's name is carl cade,
Another spring breaker.

Any witnesses?

His friends saw him last night
Leave a party

With a brunette
In a green dress.

Both had been drinking
For most of the day,

And he only caught a glimpse
Of the girl before
They left the party.

And he found the body posed
Just like the others.

It sounds like our theory
About the partners was right.

Woman lures the victim back,

She offers up a little kink,
Then ties him up.

Only this time the unsubs
Ventured outside of
Their comfort zone.

They changed hotels.

Ok, so what's he doing,
Getting bolder
Or smarter?

Well, the local police
Are on alert,
The fbi is here.

They probably changed pattern
To avoid getting caught.

Or because they saw us
At the other hotel.

We need to go back
To hudson street.

We believe at least
One of our unsubs

Is either a guest
At the hudson street hotel

Or possibly an employee there.

We have agents in uniforms
Recanvassing
The entire property.

But we all know
Kids on spring break.

They migrate
From place to place.

We can't be sure
That the killer's
Still on site.

Which is why we need you
To circulate this profile.

Hotch: we believe we're looking
For a dominant/submissive team,

A man and a woman
Probably in their 20s.

We are looking for
A heterosexual male

Who most likely
Is submissive

In his everyday life,

With everyone
Except his partner.

To her he becomes dominant.

Hotch: his submissive
Female partner

Will be socially awkward,
Of average intelligence,

And emotionally unstable.

Look for women
Who are reclusive,

Have a problem with authority,
And can't interact

With dominant personalities.

This form of male rape is
About power and dominance.

It is not about
Sexual orientation.

So victimology is key.

This team targets
Alpha personality males

Who think that women
Are their right.

Add drugs or alcohol
To the equation

And now we're dealing
With eager victims.

Even with
The mention of rape,

An alpha personality
Fueled by intoxication

Believes that he can
Control the situation

And eventually gain
The upper hand.

We'll need to blanket
The beach with fliers,

Talk to other hotels
And bartenders.

We have got 2 days
Until the spring break
Season ends,

So let's get to work.

Hey, hotch, I think
We got something.

Check this--
No report of male rape
Anywhere in the area.

It's not surprising
Since it's like one of

The least reported crimes
On the books.

I also looked at
Video surveillance

For the hudson street hotel
On the days

Of both murders,
And zip.

Tell me there is
A "but" coming.

But, I also looked
At the days leading
Up to both murders,

And, wouldn't you know it,

Jackpot of jackpots,

That would be william browder,
Aka victim number one.

I would like
To call him jerkface,

Seemingly making advances
At damsel in distress,

Aka hotel employee
Madison cooke.

See jerkface grab damsel,

See adam jackson--

Let's call him
White knight--intervene.

See jerkface
Knock white knight down.

See white knight pause.

See white knight
Go postal.

Didn't the maintenance man
Find the second victim?

Yeah.

And he told reid and morgan

That he'd never met either
Of the first two victims?

Uh-huh. So why lie?

Garcia, I need
Everything you can find

On adam jackson.

I'm already on that.

Dave, are you
Still at the scene?

Good, we've got
A possible.

Where's adam jackson?

I don't know.
What's going on?

The day before
The first murder,

You had an altercation
With the victim.

It's spring break.
It comes with the territory.

Yeah.
Adam stepped in?

He doesn't strike me
As the type to stand up
To a bully.

The guy was being a jerk.
Adam happened to be there.

And you didn't think
It was weird

That the same kid
Ended up dead
The next night?

It wasn't adam.

Then why hide the fact
That he got into a fight

With one of the victims?

Julie told us not to.

She was just trying
To protect us both.

Where's adam?

I don't know. Honestly.

He's supposed to be on duty,
But he disappears sometimes.

He might be on the roof.

Morgan, check the roof.

Adam jackson's life
Reads like a "how to
Make an unsub" manual.

Born in corpus christi,
Biological mother
Rosemary jackson.

In and out of hospitals--
Broken arm, broken rib,
Exhaustion.

The polite way
Of saying spousal abuse.

Garcia: exactly.
And then

She died suddenly
When adam was 5.

Father unknown.
Adam was left
In the custody

Of his stepfather,
Mark harrison.

Then it became adam
Who was in and out of
The emergency room.

He was eventually
Foster-homed in dallas

Until he was granted
Emancipation at the age of 16.

I would bet you
If we could see
Mark harrison back then,

He would bear
A striking resemblance
To our unsubs' victims.

Good work, garcia.
Keep digging.

Adam!

Come here.
Come here.

What's happening?

You're coming with us.

I--i don't understand.
What's going on?

Let's go.

He doesn't really look like
The dominant partner type,
Does he?

No.

He's our guy.

What makes you so sure?

It's a classic profile.

He grows up with
An abusive stepfather,

Somehow manages to escape.

Suddenly he finds himself
Back in the exact same area

Where his abuser lives.

He's surrounded by
Nothing but a bunch
Of alpha males

That mirror
That type of behavior.

He snaps.

Did he have a problem with
You as an authority figure

When you interviewed him?

He backed away as if
He was a little skittish.

And reid?

Reid was a little less
Imposing and he opened up
About his life.

Where's julie?

We're trying to find her.

She's gonna go ballistic.

You're in a lot
Of trouble, adam.

But I think
You know that, right?

The only thing
That I did wrong

Was leave work
Without telling my boss.

I--i need to talk to julie.

[clears throat]

Adam...

Why don't you tell me
About the fight you had
With that first victim?

I don't remember.

You don't remember?

Uh...

No.

Adam, I really want
To help you out,

But you're gonna have to do
A lot better than that.

Please...

I just need to talk
To julie!

Hotch.

I just got off with garcia.

So, adam jackson doesn't
Just work at the hotel.

He lives there, too.

What have we got?

When adam
Was kicked out of school

For bad grades,
Drug possession,

And petty theft,
He started staying
At the hotel.

Julie riley pays his bills.

Yeah.
The manager?

She's bailed him out of jail
Twice in the past 4 years.

She's also the one
That told madison

To cover up the fact
That adam had a fight
With the first victim.

What's the connection
Between julie and adam?

Uh, it turns out
When julie was in college

She volunteered
At the foster care facility

Adam used to reside in
Between homes.

She befriended him

And became the surrogate
For the absent mother.

And now she's his boss.
He owes her everything.

Adam's not the dominant,
Julie is.

[line rings]

Garcia.
Yes, sir.

I need you to track
Any movement on julie riley.

Cell phone, credit card,
Atm withdrawal.

I need a last known
Location.

Julie riley used her
Credit card 15 minutes ago.

I'm tying the address
To your gps...now.

Let's go.

[music playing]

Believe me, kid,
This is your lucky night.

* sugar *

Do you have any remorse
For what you've done?

Why should i?

They got what they deserved.

What about adam?

Did adam get
What he deserved?

Adam was special.

Well, if he's so special,

Why don't you tell me
How to find him?

Because...

He's in a better place now.

That's not for you
To decide.

You met adam.
Tell me I'm wrong.

Adam, let's talk about
The fight you had

With the first victim,
William browder.

There's nothing to tell.

He grabbed madison,
I tried to stop him.

That guy was pretty big.

So?

Adam, guys like you and i
Aren't, uh,

We aren't exactly
The fighting type.

Well, madison's
A good person.

She didn't deserve
To be treated that way.

You see, now I'm really
Confused,

Because you just told me that
You don't remember the fight.

I don't.

I mean, i--i don't,
But i--i do.

You don't, but you do.

Can--can you explain to me
How that works?

I remember he grabbed
At madison,

I tried to stop him,

The next thing I knew,
Julie was pulling me
Out of the pool.

Why did you tell your employees
To lie to my agents?

Adam has a record.

He found one of the bodies.

I didn't want you
To take the easy way out

And pin the murders
On him.

Why do you look out for him?
Why did you bail him
Out of jail,

Pay his rent
And all of his bills?

He's had a rough life.

And do you take advantage
Of that?

No.

Safe to say
He'd kill for you?

No!

Then explain it to me.

What exactly
Is the relationship?

We've been friends
Since I was just a kid.

Are you lovers?

[scoffs] no.

Well, then why does she
Pay for everything you have?

It's not like it's a handout.

I mean...I'm working
At the hotel
So I can pay her back.

Does she pay for
The drugs also?

I--i told you,
I get migraines.

So, take a prescription.

I thought you were different.

What does that mean?

Do you see something
In adam's past

That reminds you of yourself?

I don't know what you mean.

In 2003, you reported
A sexual assault.

And from the look
Of the file,

The police didn't do
A very thorough job
Looking into it.

I don't want to talk
About that.

I'm gonna ask you
One more time,

Would adam kill for you?

No.

Then prove it.

You know a polygraph
Is not admissible.

If we catch them in a lie,
It could help us
Get a confession.

And we change interrogators
So they can't get into
A rhythm with their answers.

State your name.

Julie riley.

Adam jackson.

What color are your eyes?

Blue.

Where were you the night
Carl cade was killed?

At work.

At home.

Who is the current president
Of the united states?

Barack obama.

Did you murder dan keller?

Did you murder
William browder?

No.

No.

What is 32 minus 19?

Would you kill for julie?

You lied about the altercation
With william browder.

Is there anything else
You've lied about?

No.

No.

Did you murder dan keller?

What time
Did you leave work

The night william browder
Was killed?

I--i don't remember.

Have you ever had
A sexual relationship
With julie riley?

No.
Have you lied
About anything else?

He's just a friend.
Did you murder
Carl cade?

Using the formula
Y equals mx plus b,

What does b represent?

No.
Would adam kill for you?

No.
Did you murder
Carl cade?

Did you murder
William browder?
No.

Absolutely not.
No.

No.
Would you kill for julie?

No.
No.

No.
No.

What are you looking at?

I'm not sure.

Well, they both passed.

How is that possible?

Not only that, they passed
With flying colors.

The only spike
I got on adam
Was a control question

Regarding geometric
Equations, but...

Honestly, I think
I just flustered him.

Either way,
We got nothing.

Well, I think
My couch is calling.

Sweet dreams.

What about you?

Clean the pool,
Change the a/c filter,

Fix the heat lamps
By tonight.

I got it.

Yeah, thanks.

So...where are we?

Honestly? Nowhere.

We just watched our two
Most viable suspects

Walk out the door.

If adam isn't our unsub,

He has all the makings
To become one someday.

Reid?

Tell me the question
That he spiked under

In the polygraph.

It was a control question
To set the baseline.

It was a geometric equation?

Reid, I really think
He was just intimidated.

He tried, he got it wrong,
But he wasn't supposed
To know the answer anyway.

What if he lied?

What if--what if
He knew the answer
To the question

But intentionally
Got it wrong?

I--i don't know.

Why would he do that?

Because he realized
That he wouldn't know
That answer.

You're losing me, kid.

Adam, are you in here?

Reid: adam said he wasn't
Getting any rest.

He takes midday naps
Because he's always exhausted.

He has a history of blackouts,
Reclusive behavior,

Prolonged repeated abuse
Suffered at the hands
Of a dominant male

Who transferred abuse
From his female spouse

To his prepubescent child.

Where are you going with this?

What if our unsub couple
Isn't a couple at all?

Dissociative identity disorder.

You think adam's
A multiple personality?

Prentiss: well, it fits.

Recurrent physical abuse,

Knowledge he shouldn't have.

We've seen this before.

Look at this.

All right?

The first intervention
Is timid.

It's apprehensive, right?

But then he gets knocked down...

There's a moment of calm,

And then his entire
Body language changes.

I saw this exact same
Transformation
When adam left the station,

Only it wasn't rage,
It was, uh,

Arrogance.
Like the alter ego
Wanted me to know.

I don't know.
Why?

Power, control.
All I know is the person

That stared me down
Over there was not adam.

He's not assertive
Like that.

He doesn't make
Eye contact.

So you think the stress
Of the interrogation

Blurred the line between adam
And his alter personality?

Reid: I think the unsub
Surfaced for just a moment.

It knew the answer
To the question,

Realized adam wouldn't,
And lied.

So adam and the woman
In the green dress
Are the same person?

We profiled the duo
Accurately,

Only the dominant
Personalities and alter
Are inside of adam.

And adam has no idea
He killed all those people.

You could argue that adam
Didn't kill those people.

A separate person
Inside of him did.

I don't even know
What we do with this.

We take him into custody,
We let the courts decide.

I thought you were
Heading home.

I found this in your room.

You went in my room?

What?
Yeah, i--

You don't remember the fight
With william browder,

You disappeared before
Dan keller was killed,

And you won't tell me
Where you went.

What are you saying?

Why do you have this?

It's not mine.

It was hidden in your closet.

Julie, this is crazy!

Ju--ohh!

Did--did a woman
Get you involved in this?

No!

If you turn her in,
Then I can help you.

I didn't kill those people!

I want to believe you, adam.

[kicks] believe me!

I think that we should
Go to the police together.

[crying] no!

I'll be right there with you.
We'll figure this out.

Or I'll go by myself.

[feminine voice]
I said no.

Adam...what's going on?

You shouldn't be up here.

Adam...

You're starting to scare me.

My name is amanda.

If you're in some kind
Of trouble, hon,

I can help you.

Adam doesn't need you
Anymore.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

No! No! No!

[sirens]

Reid and morgan,
Take the roof.

We've got adam's room.

Agent hotchner!
In the back!

[gasping]

Ok, guys, let's back up!
Back up!

Excuse me.
Come on.

Move, move!
[all talking at once]

We've got a woman down
At the back of the hotel.

Send medics as soon as possible.

Julie? Julie,
Can you hear me?

[gasping]

Adam...

Ok.

Look, help is on the way.

I need you not to move.

It wasn't...him...
Strange...

Julie, did he say
Where he was going?

[gasping]
He called himself amanda.

The alter personality.

Reid, you were right.
Where would he go?

Not he. She.

Amanda, she panicked.
She knew we would
Connect this to her.

Ok, ok, so she's feeling
The pressure.

She obviously knows
She's running out of time.
Where would she go?

[gasping]

She's gonna go after the man
These victims represent.

Garcia, please tell me
You know the whereabouts
Of mark harrison.

The skeezy wife-beating,

Child-abusing scumbag

Never left corpus christi.

Sending his address
To your pda.

Go.

[julie gasping]

Medics!

[sirens]

Amanda.
Stay back.

Put the knife down.

Stand back or I'll kill him.

You do not
Want to do that.

You don't know what he did.

When adam's mother died,
His stepfather needed

A new outlet for his
Aggression, didn't he?

He put adam in dresses.

He beat him.

He touched him.

Adam was too weak
To go through
All of that alone.

He was just
A little boy.

He needed you

To protect him.

I could take it.

I was stronger than he was.

[labored breathing]

He deserves to die.

Amanda. Amanda.

That's not for you
To decide.

I swear to god,

If you put him down
And you come with me,

I will get you
And adam

The help
That you guys need.

Adam will be sentenced
For what I've done.

No...

I can't let that happen.

Amanda.
If you kill yourself,

You kill adam.

I don't see how
That's protecting him.

And you know what I know?

I know that all
You want to do in this world

It's all I've ever done.
Is protect adam.

Then why don't you and i
Help him together.

You can't help him.

[gasping]

I'm the only one.

I know what I have to do.

I will keep him safe forever.

Unh!

[gasping and coughing]

Adam.

Adam. Adam.

Adam.

Morgan: reid.
He's gone.

It's time to go, kid.

Reid.

What's eatin' you, man?

We've taken the victim
Into custody

And let the abuser
Go free.

I don't really--

I don't see that
As much of a win.

A lot of lives
Are gonna be saved

Now that amanda's
Off the street.
You know that.

Yeah, I just...

I wish I could have
Noticed the signs
In time to save adam.

Come on, don't do that
To yourself.

None of us
Could have noticed.

Our profile was right.
We just never considered

That the team dynamic
Could be locked inside
One person's mind.

I should have.

Talk to me.

What is this?

Tobias hankel.

Tobias hankel drugged
And tortured you for 2 days.

He almost killed you.

No, he didn't.

The alter persona
Of his father

Did those things to me.

The real tobias hankel
Saved my life.

He brought me back
From the dead.

And you think because of tobias,
Somehow you owe adam?

I just--i know that
He's still locked in
There somewhere.

Kid.

You're gonna have to
Accept the fact that sometimes

We can't save everyone.

Tell me, dr. Reid,

How long will you keep
Visiting me in here?

Until I find adam.

Why do you care?

He deserves a life.

It's his.

So you're trying to...

Wear me down and release him?

No.

I'm just waiting for you
To do the right thing.

Well, I'm afraid you'll be
Waiting for a very long time.
