Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 4, Episode 9 - 52 Pickup - full transcript

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

[LOUD MUSIC AND CHATTER]

I FEEL STUPID.

YOU LOOK AMAZING.
DRINK.

I'M GOING HOME.

NO, COME ON,
IT'S JUST AN OFF NIGHT.

AT ANY MOMENT, MR. RIGHT

IS GOING TO WALK
THROUGH THAT--

OH, MY.

IS HE CUTE?
BETTER.

[WHISPERING]



HAVE A DRINK.

VANESSA HOLDEN, AGE 25.

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT,
SHE WAS CLUBBING
WITH HER SISTER.

A STRANGER, WHITE MALE,
ROUGHLY HER AGE,

PICKED HER UP,
THEY LEFT THE CLUB AT 1 A.M,

WENT BACK TO HER PLACE.

HE FORCED HER
ON HER HANDS AND KNEES.

AND THEN HE CUT HER OPEN
JUST BELOW THE STOMACH.

WHOA.

YEAH. PRETTY ROUGH.

Reid: THE GUTTING
CAUSES THE INTESTINES
TO SPILL OUT.

YOU CAN SURVIVE
FOR A FEW HOURS,
ACTUALLY EVEN DAYS.

Jordan: POSTMORTEM INDICATES

THAT HE SLIT HER THROAT
AT 5 A.M.



SO HE
DISEMBOWELED HER

BUT DIDN'T KILL HER
FOR 4 HOURS.

HE COULD BE
A SEXUAL SADIST.

Jordan: YEAH,
I THOUGHT SO, TOO,

BUT I FOUND TWO PRIORS
FROM A YEAR AGO--

PROSTITUTES, ACTUALLY,
IN MOTEL ROOMS.

Morgan: OK, SO KEEP
RUNNING WITH IT.

WHY DO YOU THINK THIS
IS THE SAME UNSUB?

IN VANESSA HOLDEN'S
APARTMENT,

THE FOLLOWING WERE
DISCOVERED--

BLEACH, AMMONIA,
TRASH BAGS--

ALL IN
A TRIANGULAR PATTERN.

ONE YEAR AGO,
MOTEL ROOMS--

BLEACH, AMMONIA,
TRASH BAGS--

ALSO IN A TRIANGULAR
PATTERN.

HE'S CLEANING UP.

MAY BE TRYING
TO HIDE HIS TRACKS.

COULD BE A SIGN OF REMORSE.

APOLOGIZING
FOR THE MURDER

BY MINIMIZING
THE MESS.

Jordan: BUT THERE'S
ONE OTHER COMMONALITY

BETWEEN BOTH SETS
OF MURDERS.

BLEACH AND AMMONIA
WERE FOUND UNDER
THE VICTIM'S FINGERNAILS.

[WOMAN MOANING]

HE'S MAKING THEM CLEAN UP
THEIR OWN MURDER.

IT'S THE SAME UNSUB.

Prentiss: AUTHOR
HARLAN ELLISON WROTE,

"THE MINUTE PEOPLE FALL
IN LOVE, THEY BECOME LIARS."

SO IF THE UNSUB CHANGED
THE VICTIMOLOGY,

DOES THAT MAKE HIM ORGANIZED
OR DISORGANIZED?

Morgan:
WELL, THE PROSTITUTES
POINT ONE WAY,

THE CLUB GOES ANOTHER.

Reid: THE TRIANGULAR
ARRANGEMENT OF
THE CLEANING SUPPLIES

IS INTERESTING.

OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE?

MIGHT HAVE BEEN
INSTITUTIONALIZED.

WE'RE MISSING THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES HERE.

THIS GUY STARTED
WITH PROSTITUTES--
A HIGH-RISK VICTIMOLOGY.

TOOK A YEAR OFF,
CAME BACK,
KILLED A SOCIALITE.

NO FORCED ENTRY,
NO COERCION
OF ANY KIND.

EXACTLY. SO HOW DOES
OUR UNSUB GO FROM
LOSER OF THE YEAR

TO DON JUAN?

ACTUALLY, AS BYRON
INTERPRETED HIM,

DON JUAN WAS
AN IRONIC REVERSAL
OF SEX ROLES.

AND WHEN--

TH-THAT'S ABOUT IT. AHEM.

SOMETHING
MUST HAVE HAPPENED

BETWEEN THE LAST
PROSTITUTE

AND VANESSA HOLDEN
MAKING HIM CHANGE
HIS VICTIMOLOGY.

COULD THE UNSUB
HAVE KNOWN VANESSA?

IT'S UNLIKELY.
SEXUAL SADISTS
ATTACK ANONYMOUSLY.

Reid: THEY HAVE TO SEVER
A PERSONAL CONNECTION

AND SEE THEIR VICTIMS
AS OBJECTS

TO PERPETRATE
THIS LEVEL OF TORTURE.

WE HAVE TO BUILD
TWO PROFILES, THEN--

ONE FOR THE UNSUB
WHO KILLED PROSTITUTES,

ONE FOR THE UNSUB WHO
GOES TO CLUBS.

WE'VE NEVER DONE
THAT BEFORE.

PRENTISS IS RIGHT.

THE VICTIMOLOGY
IS SO DIFFERENT,

WE'LL TREAT THEM
AS SEPARATE UNSUBS
AND SEE WHAT OVERLAPS.

REID, WORK UP
A GEOGRAPHIC PROFILE,

FOCUS ON THE LOCATION
OF THE MURDERS.

PRENTISS AND ROSSI,
CONCENTRATE ON THE PROSTITUTES.

JORDAN, MORGAN, AND I

WILL GO DEAL
WITH VANESSA HOLDEN.

DETECTIVE HARDING?
HI. AGENT JORDAN TODD.

THANK YOU
FOR COMING.

SSAs HOTCHNER,
MORGAN, DR. REID.

Morgan:
HOW YOU DOING?

HI. HOW ARE YOU?

SAY, IS THERE A DNA
MATCH BETWEEN THE UNSUB
AND THE PROSTITUTES?

WE CAN RUN IT THROUGH
VICAP JUST IN CASE.

UH, THERE'S
NO DNA AT ALL.

NO PRINTS, NO FIBERS.

JUST LIKE VANESSA,
EVERYTHING GETS
CLEANED UP.

PRETTY EFFECTIVE
FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE.

Hotch:
WHAT ABOUT WITNESSES?

SOMEBODY MUST HAVE
SEEN SOMETHING.

OH, YEAH.
LOTS OF PEOPLE.

SO YOU HAVE A SKETCH.

IT'S A LITTLE VAGUE.

THAT'S BECAUSE
OF THIS GUY'S OTHER
COUNTERMEASURE.

TAKE A LOOK.

SO THIS GUY
RIGHT HERE,
THAT'S OUR KILLER.

IT LOOKS LIKE
A FEDORA.

SO HE'S DRAWING
ATTENTION TO HIS FACE

WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY
OBSCURING IT.

IT'S CALLED PEACOCKING--
THE ADORNMENT OF SOME SORT

OF FLASHY AFFECT
TO SORT OF TRY TO
DISTRACT WITNESSES.

SO NONE OF YOUR WITNESS
STATEMENTS AGREE?

"HE HAD A MOLE,"
"HE DIDN'T HAVE
A MOLE."

"HE HAD A GAP
BETWEEN HIS TEETH,"

"NO, HIS TEETH
WERE PERFECT."

Jordan: DETECTIVE,
WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO HAVE A SIT-DOWN

WITH ASHLEY HOLDEN.

SHE GOT THE BEST
LOOK AT THE UNSUB.

WELL, I WISH I COULD
MAKE THAT HAPPEN,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
THE FAMILY HAS DECIDED
TO STOP COOPERATING.

THEY WOULDN'T SAY.
WHY IS THAT?

YESTERDAY THE MOTHER WOULD
MOVE HEAVEN AND EARTH

TO HELP FIND HER
DAUGHTER'S KILLER.

TODAY, NO, THANKS.

[CELL PHONE DIALING]

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.

GARCIA...

IS THERE ANY LEVERAGE
YOU CAN GIVE ME

THAT WILL HELP WITH
THE HOLDEN FAMILY?

SUGAR, IF THEY BROKE THE LAW,
THAT'D BE ONE THING,

BUT THEY HAVEN'T DONE
ANYTHING WRONG.

WHAT ABOUT PUBLIC RECORD?

ANYTHING THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN
WHY THE FAMILY SHUT DOWN?

I'VE GOT SCADS OF
BLOG POSTINGS ON THEM.

THE HOLDENS WERE MOVERS
AND SHAKERS IN THE CITY.

AND THE NASTY STUFF
FOLLOWS THE MONEY.

LIKE WHAT?

THE HOLDENS GOT WHAT
THEY HAD COMING TO THEM.

"WHY DID ASHLEY GET
HER SISTER KILLED?"

YIKES. "HOW MUCH TO GUT
THE SLUTTY ONE?"

COULD YOU FORWARD
THOSE TO ME?

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I'M SORRY YOU CAME
ALL THE WAY OUT HERE.

IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.

ASHLEY KNOWS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

AND WE WANT TO GET
THIS BEHIND US AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MRS. HOLDEN,

WE CAN'T BEGIN TO FATHOM

THE LOSS YOU'VE SUFFERED.

THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU CAN'T.

BUT, UM...

I LOST MY OLDER SISTER
IN A CAR CRASH.

AND IT WAS REALLY HARD

ON OUR FAMILY BECAUSE
SHE WAS THE RESPONSIBLE ONE.

SHE WAS THE ONE THAT
MY MOTHER ALWAYS COUNTED ON

TO WATCH OVER US.

AND WHEN SHE DIED,
MY MOTHER WOULDN'T
LET THE POLICE IN.

IF SHE DIDN'T LET
THEM IN, THEN MY SISTER
REALLY WASN'T DEAD.

THIS MAN IS A MONSTER,

AND WE CAN CATCH HIM,

BUT WE NEED YOUR
DAUGHTER'S HELP.

IF YOU ACCUSE HER

OF ANYTHING...

MA'AM--
I WILL BE ON
THE PHONE SO FAST...

MA'AM, MA'AM,
WE WON'T.

ALL RIGHT.
FOLLOW ME.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
ABOUT JORDAN?

NO, AND NEITHER DID SHE.

ACCORDING TO HER FILE,
SHE'S AN ONLY CHILD.

VANESSA'S BOYFRIEND
JUST BROKE UP WITH HER,

SO I TOOK HER OUT
TO, YOU KNOW...

TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. THERE'S
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

WERE YOU APPROACHED
BY ANYONE?

GUYS.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE
ANY OF THEM FOR US?

ORDINARY.

LOOK, VANESSA WASN'T
EVEN IN THE MOOD.

SO IF SHE WASN'T
IN THE MOOD,

IF SHE LEFT WITH THIS GUY,

THEN THERE MUST HAVE BEEN
SOMETHING ABOUT HIM,

SOMETHING UNIQUE.

Morgan: WE SAW
A PICTURE OF HIM
ON SURVEILLANCE,

AND WE KNOW THAT
HE WAS DRESSED
LIKE A ROCKER.

SO HE WAS PRETTY
FLASHY, RIGHT?

WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING
YOU NOTICED ABOUT HIM?

[SCOFFS]
HIS ATTITUDE.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

COCKY? CONFIDENT?

OR DID HE PLAY IT
MORE THE BROODY TYPE?

HE WAS LIKE--
HE WAS HITTING ON US,

BUT HE WAS, LIKE,
MAKING A JOKE OUT OF IT
AT THE SAME TIME.

SERIOUSLY. YOU DON'T
RECOGNIZE ME?

I WILL GIVE YOU
3 MORE GUESSES.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

YOU KNOW, EVEN HIS EYES,
THEY WERE DIFFERENT COLORS.

SO THIS GUY WANTED
TO BE NOTICED.

YEAH. THAT'S WHY
YOU GO TO A CLUB, RIGHT?

AND THEN HE HAD
THESE GAMES.

LIKE HE WOULD BET US
DRINKS THAT WE COULDN'T
GET HIS NUMBER.

OR THIS OTHER ONE THAT...

HA HA. OK.

LET ME MAKE SURE
YOU DIDN'T
SCREW IT UP.

HMM, OK. WOW.

THE CAMERA REALLY
DOES ADD 10 POUNDS.

WHAT?!

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]
YOU'RE SO...

SHE DIDN'T EVEN WANT
TO GO OUT THAT NIGHT.

I HAD TO DRAG HER
TO THE CLUB.

THE LAST THING
SHE SAID TO ME

BEFORE I LEFT HER
ALONE WITH THAT GUY

WAS, "I HAD THE BEST
TIME TONIGHT."

"THE BEST TIME."

THE INFORMATION ABOUT
VANESSA HOLDEN BEING
THE RESPONSIBLE SISTER,

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

SOME OF IT WAS ONLINE,
AND SOME OF IT WAS
JUST AN EDUCATED GUESS

BASED ON BIRTH ORDER.

A GUESS.

AND IN THE PROCESS,
YOU LIED.

THAT MOTHER
WAS SHUT DOWN.

I NEEDED TO SALVAGE
SOME RAPPORT.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU DID THINGS
IN COUNTER-TERRORISM,

BUT WE DON'T MAKE IT
A HABIT TO LIE TO GET
THE JOB DONE.

I GOT YOU IN
THE DOOR, DIDN'T I?

NOT ONLY DO YOU
REPRESENT THE FBI,

YOU REPRESENT THIS TEAM--

TO THE PRESS, THE POLICE,
AND TO THE FAMILIES

WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH
SOME OF THE HARDEST TIMES
OF THEIR LIVES.

IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN A LIE,
THE TRUST WE DEPEND ON

TO HELP SOLVE THESE
CRIMES DISAPPEARS.

DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

NO, IT WON'T.

WHEN WE GET BACK,
I WANT YOU TO PREPARE

A PRESS RELEASE
ABOUT THE UNSUB.
DO NOT RELEASE IT.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

FROM NOW ON, EVERYTHING
GOES THROUGH ME.

[RING]

YEAH, DAVE?

SO HOW BAD DID I
JUST SCREW UP?

ON A NORMAL SCALE
OF 1 TO 10,

I'D SAY A 6,

BUT ON HOTCH'S
SCALE, AN 11.

THE UNSUB KILLED
THE PROSTITUTES

IN SEPARATE PAY-BY-THE-HOUR
MOTELS IN FULTON COUNTY,

RIGHT THERE IN ONE OF
THE POORER NEIGHBORHOODS
IN THE AREA.

NOW, VANESSA HOLDEN'S
APARTMENT WAS IN
THE PEACHTREE DISTRICT,

WHERE THERE'S A LOT
OF BIG MONEY.

BASED ON THE GEOGRAPHY,
HE ISN'T JUST CHANGING
HIS VICTIMOLOGY,

HE'S CHANGED
HIS WHOLE TAX BRACKET.

WELL, THE HIGH PROFILE
OF VANESSA HOLDEN
BEARS THAT OUT.

BY KILLING HER,
HE WAS CLIMBING
THE SOCIAL LADDER.

Rossi: IF THAT'S
THE CASE, THIS UNSUB
HAD A LONG WAY TO CLIMB.

BOTH PROSTITUTES
ADVERTISED HERE.
LOOK AT THEIR PICTURES.

SUBSERVIENT POSITIONING,
ASKING TO BE DOMINATED.

PROMISING TO
COME TO YOU?

THAT CUTS OUT
THE SOCIAL
INTERACTION

OF MEETING ON
A STREET CORNER.

THAT'S
A LONG WAY FROM
A SELF-ASSURED UNSUB

WHO HITS THE CLUBS.

Hotch: EXCEPT HE
TOOK A YEAR OFF
BETWEEN THE MURDERS.

MAYBE HE TOOK THAT TIME
TO CHANGE HIMSELF.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

WHY?
WELL, I MEAN,
YOU'RE TALKING

ABOUT A TOTAL
TRANSFORMATION HERE.

I MEAN, HOW YOU TALK,
I MEAN, HOW YOU DRESS,

HOW YOU THINK ABOUT
YOURSELF.

DIFFICULT, MAYBE.
NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

Rossi: HE ALREADY
STARTED KILLING.

THERE MUST HAVE BEEN
A SECONDARY TRIGGER

THAT MOTIVATED HIM
TO CHANGE WHO HE WAS.

SO IF YOU'RE GONNA
TRANSFORM YOURSELF,
HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?

Prentiss:
A STEADY DIET
OF SELF-HELP BOOKS.

START HITTING
THE GYM?

Reid: YOU HAVE TO LEARN
HOW TO READ PEOPLE.

I MEAN, WHAT IS
A PICK-UP? IT'S BASICALLY
JUST A PROFILE.

DECODING CUES OF
INTEREST AND RECODING
SIMILAR ONES.

IF YOU'RE TOO OBVIOUS,
YOU TURN OFF YOUR TARGET.

IF YOU'RE OBLIVIOUS,
YOUR TARGET MOVES ON
TO A BETTER PROFILER.

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
SOMETHING HE COULD DO
ON HIS OWN.

Prentiss: NO. HE'D
HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE
TO LEARN IT.

YEAH. A SELF-HELP
CLASS, MAYBE?

UH, WAIT A MINUTE.
COME ON.

AN UNSUB WHO KILLS
PROSTITUTES.

IS HE REALLY
THINKING ABOUT

SIGNING UP
FOR A TONY ROBBINS
SEMINAR?

HE WOULD
IF HE FOUND A CLASS

IN THE SAME PLACE
HE FOUND
THE PROSTITUTES.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I LIKE YOUR STYLE.

[SIREN]

WELL, PRELIMINARY
AUTOPSY CAME BACK.

THE VICTIM'S NAME
WAS BECKY WILLIAMS.

WAS SHE
DISEMBOWELED?

NO. AND WHAT'S EVEN WEIRDER

IS THE CLEANING SUPPLIES
WERE SET OUT,

BUT THERE WAS NO TRACES
OF THEM ON HER BODY.

WHY WOULD THE UNSUB
ALTER HIS SIGNATURE

AND PUSH HER OUT OF
AN 8-STORY WINDOW?

ESCALATING TO SADISM, MAYBE?

GUTTING AND CLEANING
ARE WHAT HE HAS TO DO

TO FIND RELEASE.
HE WOULDN'T CHANGE THAT.

WELL, WHY NOT?
HE'S CHANGED EVERYTHING
ELSE ABOUT HIMSELF.

DID ANYONE SEE THE UNSUB?

NO SURVEILLANCE
CAMERAS AT THE CLUB.

BECKY'S FRIENDS SAY
SHE WAS TALKING TO A GUY
WITH SUNGLASSES.

SUNGLASSES.

SO WHY DID HE PULL OUT
THE CLEANING SUPPLIES
AND THEN NOT USE THEM?

ON ALL THE OTHER
SCENES,

THE BOTTLES
WERE ARRANGED IN
A PRECISE ORDER.

HERE THEY'RE JUST
PART OF THE MESS.

MAYBE SHE FOUGHT BACK,

AND WHEN BECKY WENT
OVER THE RAILING,

HIS ROUTINE HAD BEEN
COMPROMISED BECAUSE HE KNEW
THE POLICE WOULD RESPOND.

OR SHE
COULD HAVE JUMPED.

HER NERVOUS SYSTEM
IS PUMPING ADRENALINE.

HER FIGHT OR FLIGHT
RESPONSE KICKS IN.

HE STRUCK
TWO FRIDAYS IN A ROW,

AND IF HIS ROUTINE'S
BEEN INTERRUPTED, IT MIGHT
COMPEL HIM TO STRIKE AGAIN.

IT'S SATURDAY.
THE CLUBS WILL
BE PACKED TONIGHT.

TAKE A LOOK
AT THE CLASSES

THE UNSUB
MIGHT HAVE TAKEN.

WE NEED TO GENERATE
A SUSPECT POOL
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

OK.

CAN DETECTIVE HARDING

GET A COPY OF THE SKETCH
TO GARCIA?

DID YOU FIND
ANYTHING OUTSIDE?

NO. BUT I THINK
THERE MIGHT BE
A NEW PATTERN EMERGING.

GARCIA, YOU READY?

SENDING IT NOW.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT
30 MINUTES WITH PHOTOSHOP

DOES NOT ALLOW FOR
MUCH ARTISTIC FLOURISH.

BOTH TIMES THE UNSUB
HAS GONE TO A CLUB,

HE'S HAD SOME COSTUME,

BUT NOW THERE'S A THEME--
A FEDORA AND COLORED CONTACTS,

SUNGLASSES, EACH TIME
OBSCURING--

ARE YOU READY, GARCIA?

THIS AREA. NOW, YES,
MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO
DRAW ATTENTION TO HIM,

BUT MAYBE HE'S TRYING
TO DRAW ATTENTION
AWAY FROM HERE.

SOMETHING HE KNOWS
IS IDENTIFIABLE--

A BIRTHMARK
OR A SCAR, MAYBE.

WE NEED TO GET THESE OUT.
JORDAN, RELEASE THESE
TO THE PRESS.

WHICH IS WHY
WE'RE ENCOURAGING WOMEN

TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR THIS MAN.

HE HAS BEEN SEEN
AT CLUB OMEGA,
SUFFRAGETTE CITY,

AND WE BELIEVE
HE MAY BE ATTENDING
SIMILAR NIGHTCLUBS

IN THE MIDTOWN DISTRICT.

HE MAY HAVE A SCAR OR
A BIRTHMARK ON HIS LEFT EYE.

BASED ON WITNESS DESCRIPTIONS
AND CAPTURED IMAGES,

THE SUSPECT IS WHITE,
MID- TO LATE 20s,

AND I REPEAT,
HE MAY HAVE

A SCAR OR A BIRTHMARK...
HOTCH.

WHAT DID YOU
FIND OUT?

OF THE 20 SELF-DESCRIBED
PICKUP ARTIST CLASSES
IN THE AREA,

THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY
WHO ENCOURAGES
HIS STUDENTS

TO DRESS LIKE, UH,
SPACE COWBOYS.

ARE YOU READY
TO MEET VIPER?

MEN ARE PUT ON THIS
EARTH TO HUNT WOMEN.

AND EVEN THOUGH
WOMEN DENY IT, THEY
WANT TO BE HUNTED.

THEY NEED IT.

IT'S PART OF OUR
BIOLOGICAL IMPERATIVE
AS ANIMALS.

AND THE COMPETITION
THE OPPOSITE SEX
PUTS YOU THROUGH--

PITTING YOU AGAINST
OTHER GUYS,

AGAINST YOUR OWN
FRIENDS, EVEN,

IT'S ALL TO REASSURE
THEMSELVES

THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT HOME
THE BEST POSSIBLE MATE.

'CAUSE, JUST LIKE YOU,

THEY WANT SOMEONE WHO'S
GONNA MAKE THEIR EYEBALLS

ROLL BACK IN THEIR HEAD.

MY JOB IS TO HELP YOU
SLASH PAST EVERY DEFENSE,

EVERY EXCUSE,
EVERY, "WHY DON'T YOU
MEET MY FRIEND" TRICK

THAT THEY'RE GONNA
THROW AT YOU.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE RIPPED ABS
OR AFFORD TABLE SERVICE,

BUT IF YOU'RE SMARTER AND...

MORE INTERESTING,

THEN YOU WILL BE
A BETTER PREDATOR,

BECAUSE THIS IS
THE JUNGLE, MY FRIENDS.

AND YOUR PREY
WANTS TO BE CAUGHT.

WILL YOU LISTEN
TO THAT LANGUAGE?

HE'S TRAINING
SERIAL KILLERS.

GREAT. WE'RE DEALING

WITH A RAMPANT NARCISSIST
AND MISOGYNIST

WHO'S TURNED HIMSELF
INTO A SNAKE OIL SALESMAN.

THAT'S ONE MORE THING
HE HAS IN COMMON
WITH OUR UNSUB.

SO YOU THINK THIS--
WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM--

UNSUB--TOOK MY CLASS?

HE COPIED YOUR
"THE CAMERA ADDS 10 POUNDS"
ROUTINE VERBATIM.

YEAH. THAT'S
A GOOD GAG.

IF YOU COULD
JUST GIVE US YOUR
ATTENDANCE LISTS,

IT MIGHT HELP US
FIND HIM.

NO.

NO?

MY CLIENTS EXPECT

A CERTAIN AMOUNT
OF CONFIDENTIALITY.

I WON'T
COMPROMISE THAT.

WE CAN COME BACK
WITH A WARRANT.

BE MY GUEST.

BUT KEEP IN MIND,
THE MONEY I MAKE

DOESN'T JUST PAY
FOR MY FABULOUS
LIFESTYLE,

IT ALSO KEEPS
SOME VERY EXPENSIVE
LAWYERS ON RETAINER.

WHAT CLUB DID YOU
GO TO LAST NIGHT?

Morgan: IT'S
A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.

YOU SEEM TO KNOW A LOT
ABOUT OUR INVESTIGATION.

TWO THINGS TO LEARN
ABOUT ME--

FIRST, I OUTWIT
ALPHA MALES LIKE YOU

FOR FUN
AND SOMETIMES PROFIT.

HOW OFTEN
DO YOU HAVE TO RELY

ON YOUR BADGE
TO SCORE, BALDY?

SECOND, LAST NIGHT,
I WAS AT CLUB AQUA,

AND I HAVE A STACK
OF TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
DRINK RECEIPTS

TO BACK UP MY STORY.

NOW, YOU MIGHT NOT
WANT TO BELIEVE
THAT MY STYLE WORKS,

AND HERE IN THIS
HARSH LIGHT...

YOU HAVE THE ADVANTAGE.

BUT MEET ME
ON MY TURF...

OH, THE THINGS
I COULD MAKE YOU DO.

[SCOFFS]

Hotch: IF YOU, UM,

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
GIVE US A CALL.

PLEASE, TELL ME WE ARE
NOT GIVING UP ON THAT GUY.

WE'RE JUST
GETTING STARTED.

HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT?

TO PRENTISS?

YES, HE DID.

SO WHAT CAN YOU
TELL ME ABOUT HIM?

I CAN TELL YOU
THE VIPER'S REAL NAME
IS PAUL THOMAS.

AND BEFORE
HE RECHRISTENED HIMSELF,

HE HAD A MAJOR MULLET
GOING ON.

GARCIA, WE NEED
THE NAMES OF ALL
OF HIS STUDENTS.

I'M GONNA NEED A COUPLE
HOURS FOR A WORK-AROUND.

I ALSO NEED YOU
TO SEND REID
EVERYTHING YOU CAN

ABOUT WHAT THIS GUY TEACHES.

I THINK THE UNSUB'S USING
ONE OF HIS ROUTINES.

WE NEED TO START BUILDING
A LINGUISTIC PROFILE.

SIR, DOES THIS GUY'S STUFF

ACTUALLY WORK
ON REAL BREATHING GIRLS?

WHY ARE YOU
ASKING ME?

I ABHOR THE WHOLE
"CHICKS DIG JERKS" THING.

WELL, FORTUNATELY,
GARCIA, YOU'RE ONE
OF THE EXCEPTIONS.

WELL, HA HA, BE STILL
MY BESPECKLED HEART.

SO ARE YOU, SIR.

THANKS.

HOTCH, THIS IS
MELISSA FOSTER.
SHE RECOGNIZED THE SKETCH.

I'M SSA HOTCHNER.
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

YOU SURE YOU'VE SEEN
THIS MAN?

YEAH. I GAVE HIM
THE SCAR.

DID YOU MEET HIM
IN A CLUB?

NO. I WAS
A PROSTITUTE.

Melissa: THIS HAPPENED
ABOUT A YEAR AGO,

WHEN I WAS IN BAD SHAPE.

HEROIN?

BUT YOU GOT CLEAN.

MY GIRL CHERYL TOLD ME
IF I PUT AN AD IN THE PAPER,

IT'D BE SAFER THAN WALKING
THE STREETS, SO...

ONE DAY YOU GOT
A CALL, RIGHT,

TO MEET YOU AT A MOTEL?

YEAH.

WHEN YOU WALKED IN,
YOU KNEW YOU WERE
IN TROUBLE.

HE COULDN'T MEET
YOUR EYE.

HE WAS, UM...

KIND OF SHIFTY, MAYBE?

HE PACED. I SPENT
THE FIRST HALF-HOUR
TRYING TO GET HIM TO RELAX,

BECAUSE IF HE CAN RELAX,
THEN I CAN RELAX.

BUT HE JUST WANTED
TO RANT.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE SAID I WAS THE HELP.

THEY DON'T EVEN SEE YOU.
YOU'RE NOTHING.
YOU'RE THE HELP.

Melissa: I HAD CUSTOMERS
LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME.

THEY WORK OUT
ONE OF TWO WAYS.

EITHER THEY WANT
TO TIE YOU UP,
AND YOU JUST SAY NO,

OR THEY WANT TO BE
TIED UP, IN WHICH CASE,

YOU DO IT AND, UH,
YOU STEAL THEIR WALLET.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO TIE
YOU UP, DID HE?

NO.

UNH! UH!

YOU KNOW WHAT I REMEMBER
ABOUT THE WHOLE THING,

LIKE, CRYSTAL CLEAR?

IT WASN'T THE PAIN
THAT SENT HIM RUNNING.

IT WAS THE MESS.

THERE'S NO RECORD
OF YOUR ATTACK--

POLICE, HOSPITAL. NOTHING.

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME FORWARD?

I WASN'T READY
TO KICK IT YET.

I WAS THIS CLOSE TO DYING,

FOR 2 WEEKS.

AND WHEN I GOT BACK
ON MY FEET,

I REALIZED...

YOU JUST DIDN'T WANT TO
LIVE LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

IF HE HADN'T
ATTACKED ME,

I WOULD HAVE O.D.'d.

HE SAVED MY LIFE.

OUR UNSUB IS A CONFIDENT
ALPHA MALE. HE IS WHITE.

HE'S BETWEEN THE AGES
OF 25 AND 30.

HE'S IN EXCELLENT
PHYSICAL SHAPE

TO OVERPOWER WOMEN
AND ALSO TO FEED
HIS SELF-IMAGE.

Rossi: HE HAS
AN OBSESSION WITH CLEANING.

HE PROBABLY WORKS
IN SOME SERVICE INDUSTRY

WIPING UP AFTER OTHERS,
CONVINCED EVERYONE
LOOKS DOWN AT HIM.

HIS CHANGE IN HIMSELF
AND HIS VICTIMOLOGY
REFLECTS THAT.

THIS IS THE KIND OF GUY
WHO WANTS TO STAND OUT
IN A CROWD.

HE'S TAKEN A CLASS
IN HOW TO PICK UP WOMEN.

SO HE'LL REPEAT A SERIES

OF WELL-REHEARSED LINES
AND MIND GAMES.

Hotch: HE MAY BE UNEDUCATED,
BUT HE'S BY NO MEANS STUPID.

TAKING THIS CLASS
HAS GIVEN HIM THE ABILITY
TO READ VERBAL CUES

AND BODY LANGUAGE.

ONE CLASSIC ROUTINE
THE VIPER PROMOTES

IS CALLED THE PUSH/PULL.

HE'LL INSERT HIMSELF
BETWEEN TWO WOMEN

AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER
COMPLIMENTING ONE,

HE'LL DELIVER A SUBTLE
INSULT, THEN PAY
ATTENTION TO THE OTHER.

THOSE ARE REALLY
NICE EARRINGS.
I LIKE THOSE.

THANKS.

MY GRANDMOTHER WEARS
A LOT OF FAKE JEWELRY ALSO.

IT LOOKS NICE.

IGNORING THE ONE WOMAN
PUTS HER IN
DIRECT COMPETITION

WITH HER FRIEND

AND CAUSES THE OTHER
TO PURSUE YOU
MORE AGGRESSIVELY.

I WAS JUST DEMONSTRATING,
SO I'M SORRY.

WELL, WE'VE MAPPED
THE HOT SPOTS HE HITS,

AND HE FREQUENTS THE SAME
CLUBS THAT THE VIPER DOES,

SO WE NEED EYES AND EARS
IN EVERY SINGLE ONE.

CIRCULATE THE SKETCH
AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE.

WE NEED EVERYONE
AWARE THAT THERE'S
A KILLER OUT THERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I THINK I MIGHT
JUST STAY HOME

AND MAN THE TIP LINE
TONIGHT. CLUBS AREN'T
REALLY MY THING.

NOT A CHANCE, KID.
I NEED A WINGMAN.
COME ON, NOW.

ACTUALLY,
THERE IS ANOTHER ANGLE
WE NEED TO PURSUE.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT MADE THE UNSUB
CHANGE HIS VICTIMOLOGY,

WHAT MADE HIM STOP
KILLING PROSTITUTES

AND MOVE INTO THE CLUBS.

THE ANSWER MIGHT BE
SOMETHING IN VIPER'S CLASS,

BUT TO FIGURE
THAT OUT, WE NEED
TO PROFILE THE TEACHER.

Morgan: YOU NEED TO
BAIT HIM, THEN,

WITH SOMEONE HE SEES
AS A CHALLENGE.

WE NEED TO STUDY HIS STYLE
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

IT'S GONNA TAKE SOMEONE
THAT HE'S ALREADY ATTRACTED TO.

OHH...

OH, THIS IS REALLY
GONNA SUCK.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

PRENTISS?

YEAH. COME ON IN.

HEY,
I'M 10 MINUTES AWAY.

YOU'RE OK
WITH THIS, RIGHT?

YEAH. I'LL BE FINE.

SADLY, I'VE ACTUALLY DATED
PEOPLE WORSE THAN VIPER.

WOW.

IS SOMETHING GOING ON
WITH JORDAN?

UM, YOU ASKED ME
TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER.

AND, FRANKLY,
I'VE NOTICED SOME TENSION.

I CAUGHT HER IN A LIE.

SHE CUT A CORNER
TO GET US IN WITH
THE HOLDEN FAMILY.

DID SHE MISREPRESENT
THE BUREAU?

SHE MISREPRESENTED
HERSELF.

HUH. SO HOW LONG IS SHE
GONNA BE IN THE DOGHOUSE?

UNTIL SHE PROVES
SHE'S COMPETENT.

THAT'S GONNA BE TRICKY

IF YOU'RE SCRUTINIZING
HER EVERY MOVE.

PRENTISS, YOU SEEM
TO DO OK.

HMM.

I THINK IN ORDER
FOR JORDAN TO PROVE
SHE'S GOOD AT THIS JOB,

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN
UNDER A MAGNIFYING GLASS.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
GIVE HER THE OPPORTUNITY.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING
IN MIND?

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

Reid: WHEN YOU THINK
ABOUT THE NATURE
OF SERIAL CRIMES,

IT'S AMAZING THERE
AREN'T MORE PREDATORS
IN THE CLUBS.

I MEAN, EXCESSIVE
AMOUNTS OF ALCOHOL,

COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES
FOR DATE RAPE DRUGS,

NOT TO MENTION
SURPRISINGLY RISKY
BEHAVIOR BEING PURSUED.

ALL RIGHT.
SO WHO WANTS A FLIER?

NOBODY? OK. ALL RIGHT.

SO, HOW'S IT GOING?

NOT GOOD.
I GAVE THE PROFILE
TO ONE WOMAN

AND SHE ASKED
IF I WAS THE UNSUB.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?

WELL, I GAVE OUT
ALL MY FLIERS.

HOW MANY PHONE NUMBERS
DID YOU GET?

NONE. I'M WORKING
A CASE HERE, KID.

OK, 4 WERE OFFERED,
BUT I DIDN'T TAKE
ANY OF THEM.

ALL RIGHT. LOOK,
LET ME SCHOOL YOU
REAL QUICK.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
WITH THESE LADIES,

JUST TAKE CONTROL OF
THE CONVERSATION.

WHEN YOU'RE TALKING,
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL
LIKE AN EXPERT?

UH, STATISTICS.

NO. TRUST ME, NO.
SOMETHING ELSE.

UM, WELL,
WHEN I DO MAGIC.

SEE? SEE,
THAT'S PERFECT.

CHICKS DIG MAGIC.

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO WORK IT.
COME HERE.

OK...

EXCUSE ME, SWEETHEART.
WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE.

HI. WHAT CAN I GET YOU?

Reid: HI. WE'RE
WITH THE FBI.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR
THIS MAN. DOES HE LOOK
AT ALL FAMILIAR TO YOU?

IT'S NOT MUCH
OF A PICTURE.

I KNOW. YOU KNOW
WHAT MIGHT HELP,
ACTUALLY, IS, UM,

HE HAS A SCAR ON HIS EYE
RIGHT ABOUT THERE.

WE ALSO KNOW THAT
HE'S TAKEN CLASSES

WHERE HE'S LEARNED
HOW TO DISTRACT

AND CHARM HIS VICTIM.

[CHUCKLES]

OK, HOW DID YOU
DO THAT?

THAT'S PRIVILEGED
INFORMATION.

HUH.

SO WHAT DO I DO
IF I SEE HIM?

YOU SHOULD CALL US.
EVEN IF YOU JUST
THINK YOU SEE HIM,

YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY
CALL US.

AND IF I DON'T
SEE HIM...

CAN I STILL
CALL YOU?

YEAH.

YEAH. YOU CAN CALL ME.

YEAH.
OK. COOL.

WAIT. HA HA.

I DON'T HAVE
YOUR NUMBER.

OH, IT'S BEHIND
YOUR BARRETTE.

BYE.

SEE? THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THAT'S CALLED GAME.

♪ A TYPICAL DAY
IN THE UNIVERSE ♪

♪ ANOTHER
M.C. SPITS A PUNY VERSE ♪

♪ I TRY TO GET
THROUGH MY DAY WITHOUT
SAYING A CURSE... ♪

THAT'S AN EXCELLENT
QUESTION.

ONCE YOU KNOW A CHICK
IS INTERESTED,

HOW DO YOU PROCEED?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE.

♪ ...'CAUSE I KNOW JESUS
WAS A ROCK STAR ♪

♪ AND IT WAS ELVIS WHO
TURNED WATER INTO WINE ♪

♪ WATER INTO WINE ♪

♪ I WANT TO SAVE
A KANGAROO FROM
A LIFE IN A ZOO ♪

♪ I WANT TO OWN A LLAMA,
I WANT THIS DRAMA IN MY LIFE ♪

THIS IS A NICE
SURPRISE.

WELL, THE ATLANTA P.D.
AND THE FBI

ARE COMBING
ALL THE BARS YOU GO TO,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE
I PULLED THE SHORT STRAW.

LUCKY ME, THEN.

SO...

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

WHY DO YOU TEACH GUYS
HOW TO BE SOMEBODY THEY'RE NOT?

BECAUSE IT'S A GAME,
ONE I'M GOOD AT.

AND I WANT TO HELP
OTHER GUYS GET
GOOD AT IT, TOO.

SO...

AFFECTION, SEX,

EMOTIONAL COMMITMENT,

THAT'S ALL JUST
FOR FUN, HUH?

NO. THE FUN IS IN
THE INITIAL SPARK.

IT'S THAT THING
A GUY DOES IN
THE FIRST 5 SECONDS

THAT MAKES YOU GO...
[SNAPS FINGERS]

HIM.

WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT IS
A DIFFERENT BEAST.

YOU CAN'T FAKE IT.
YOU HAVE TO WANT IT.

NOW...WHY ARE YOU
REALLY HERE?

IS, UM, THIS THE GUY
YOU WERE TELLING ME ABOUT?

VIPER, MEET SSA JORDAN TODD
FROM THE B.A.U.

JORDAN, THIS IS VIPER--
GOD'S GIFT TO WOMEN.

WOW. HA HA.

GOD SURE HAS
A SENSE OF HUMOR.

[LAUGHS WEAKLY]

YOU BROUGHT
A FRIEND.

YOU PROMISED IF I MET
YOU ON YOUR TURF,

YOU'D SHOW ME
SOMETHING SPECIAL.

SO...LET'S SEE IT.

YEAH, VIPER, WHO GETS
PUSHED AND WHO GETS
PULLED TONIGHT?

IS THIS THE ONE
THAT IF YOU STARE
AT IT LONG ENOUGH,

YOU SEE THE IMAGE
OF A SWAN?

I'M JUST WONDERING
IF WE MISSED ANYTHING.

REMEMBER I SAID THERE
WAS A SECONDARY TRIGGER?

WE NEVER FOUND IT.

MAYBE IT'S
SOMETHING THAT CAME
FROM THE CLASS.

PRENTISS COULD STILL--

WHAT HE TOOK FROM THE CLASS
BROUGHT HIM TO VANESSA HOLDEN,

BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING MUCH DEEPER
PSYCHOLOGICALLY.

THINK ABOUT THIS--

THIS UNSUB ALWAYS GOES
TO HIS VICTIMS' APARTMENTS.

NEVER HIS OWN PLACE.
WHY IS THAT?

WELL, THERE MUST BE
SOME RESTRICTION THERE.

A NAGGING GIRLFRIEND,
A CRYING BABY, MAYBE.

SOME REMINDER OF HOW
MISERABLE HIS LIFE IS.

WHICH HE'S TAKING
OUT ON HIS VICTIMS.

YOU SEE, EYE CONTACT
IS A VERY
POWERFUL GAUGE.

IT'S WHY YOU TEND
TO LOOK AWAY

FROM SOMEONE
YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO

BECAUSE YOU KNOW
INSTINCTIVELY

WHAT A DEAD
GIVEAWAY IT IS.

BUT YOUR BRAIN
GOES THERE ANYWAY.

IMAGES, FANTASIES.

DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF.

THE EYES DON'T LIE.

THEY DILATE. IT'S
A CHEMICAL RESPONSE
WE CAN'T CONTROL.

Prentiss: OK, 15 SECONDS.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

NOPE. NO CHANGE.
NO DILATION.

I GUESS CHEMICALLY
WE'RE NOT A MATCH.

ONLY BECAUSE YOU
HAVE SOMEONE ELSE
ON THE MIND.

ONCE THAT HAPPENS,

THE ATTRACTION
CENTER IN THE BRAIN
SHUTS DOWN.

YOUR TURN.

NO.

[LAUGHING]

ARE YOU SCARED
I MIGHT BE RIGHT?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

YEAH? HUH?

NO, PAUL, I'M BAFFLED.

I CANNOT FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE UNSUB COULD
HAVE LEARNED FROM YOU.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE TOOK MY LOOK,
MY WORDS,

EVERYTHING THAT
MAKES ME SUCCESSFUL
TO THE OPPOSITE SEX.

REALLY? BECAUSE THAT
GUY CAN GET BEAUTIFUL
WOMEN INTO HIS APARTMENT.

I WOULDN'T LET YOU
ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE.

OH, YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK?

YEAH. YOU SHOULD
FRIEND ME.

I WILL.
HEY, HEY, HEY!

I GAVE HIM
THE ROUTINES THAT
MADE HIM WHAT HE IS.

IT MUST ALL BE IN
THE SALESMANSHIP THEN.

'CAUSE WE'VE
BEEN WATCHING ALL
THE WOMEN IN THE CLUB.

AND NOT ONE OF THEM
HAS LOOKED AT YOU.

SO WHO DO YOU REALLY
GO HOME WITH, PAUL?

OR--OR DO YOU GO HOME ALONE?

[LAUGHS]

OHH...

THAT WAS REALLY
GOOD, LADIES.

THAT WAS REALLY GOOD.

DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW
WHY YOU'RE HERE?

ONE OF MY STUDENTS
COPIES MY MOVES

AND YOU'RE HERE
TO GET INSIDE MY MIND.

DON'T YOU SEE?

I CONFRONTED MY QUEEN BEE
A LONG TIME AGO.

WHAT'S A QUEEN BEE?
YOU ARE.

AND SO IS EVERY OTHER
CONFIDENT GIRL IN HERE

WHO'S LOUD
WHEN SHE'S DRUNK.

THE SOCIAL BUTTERFLY,
THE ALPHA FEMALE.

EVERY STUDENT WHO'S
EVER TAKEN MY CLASS

HAS HAD ONE
IN HIS LIFE.

AND THE FIRST
EXERCISE MY STUDENTS
HAVE TO COMPLETE

IS TO CONFRONT
THEIR QUEEN BEE.

IT COULD BE THE GIRL
WHO CHEATED ON YOU

OR THE PROM DATE
WHO STOOD YOU UP.

BUT YOU FIND THEM
AND SQUASH THEM.

OUR UNSUB KNEW
VANESSA HOLDEN.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

Jordan: IT'S VIPER'S
FIRST CONFIDENCE
BUILDING EXERCISE.

FIND THE SOURCE OF
YOUR FIRST REJECTION
AND MAKE HER PAY FOR IT.

THAT'S WHY HE
STOPPED SEEING
PROSTITUTES.

HE TOOK VIPER'S
CLASS AND DECIDED
TO CONFRONT

VANESSA HOLDEN.

IT MAKES SENSE
WITH WHAT HE SAID
TO VANESSA THAT NIGHT.

"DON'T YOU KNOW WHO
I AM? LOOK CLOSER."

HE MEANT IT LITERALLY.

WE NEED TO TALK
TO THE FAMILY AGAIN.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

IS THAT YOU THINK
MY DAUGHTER
KNEW HER KILLER.

IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN SOMEONE THAT
SHE POSSIBLY MET

AT A YOUNG AGE,
MAYBE A BOYFRIEND,

SOMEONE SHE REJECTED.

NO. VANESSA TOLD
ME ABOUT ALL
HER BOYFRIENDS.

HOW ABOUT SOMEONE
WHO EXPRESSED HIMSELF
SEXUALLY TO VANESSA?

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
AWKWARD, EMBARRASSING.

Hotch: AND HE WOULD
HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH
CLEANLINESS OR CLEANING.

WHAT IS IT?

THAT WOMAN WHO USED
TO CLEAN FOR US,

THE ONE
WHO BROUGHT HER SON.

WHO WAS SHE?

I DON'T REMEMBER
HER NAME.

THERE HAVE BEEN
SO MANY PEOPLE
THROUGH THIS HOUSE.

BUT I REMEMBER WHEN
SHE BROUGHT THIS YOUNG
BOY IN.

HE WAS ODD.

HOW?

HE WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

HE WOULD HIDE
IN THE CLOSET

AND THEN WATCH.

I CAUGHT HIM ONE DAY
WITH VANESSA.

Mrs. Holden: WHAT ARE
YOU DOING IN HERE?

WE--WE--WE WEREN'T
DOING ANYTHING.

HE MADE ME.

YOU ARE COMING WITH ME.
GET OVER HERE.

AND WHAT DID YOU DO?

I DID WHAT ANY
PARENT WOULD DO.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU DID?

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU DID?

THE HELP...

DOESN'T MESS

WITH THIS FAMILY!

DON'T YOU EVER
DO THAT AGAIN!

DON'T YOU EVER!

[SOBBING]

MOM...

OH, DON'T "MOM" ME.

THAT BOY HAD NO SENSE
OF BOUNDARIES WHATSOEVER.

HE NEEDED TO BE
TAUGHT A LESSON.

DO YOU HAPPEN
TO HAVE ANY RECORDS

OF THE EMPLOYEE,
THE MOTHER?

NO. EVERYONE GOT
PAID IN CASH.

BOBBY.

HIS NAME
WAS BOBBY.

VANESSA CALLED
HIM A PERVERT.

I FIRED THE MOTHER
THAT DAY.

IT WAS AWFUL.

BUT THERE'S
A SERVICE
THAT I REMEMBER

THAT I USED TO GET
MY DOMESTICS FROM.

IT WAS IN
FULTON COUNTY.

LAST CALL, PEOPLE!

LAST CALL.

SEE, YOUR LOVELINE'S
BROKEN UP,

WHICH MEANS
YOU HAVEN'T FOUND
YOUR SOUL MATE YET.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE.
YEAH.

IT'S REALLY AMAZING.

YOU SEE IT
IN THESE COUPLES

THAT ARE TOGETHER FOREVER.

THE LINES ON
THEIR PALMS CHANGE,

SO THEY--THEY BECOME
MIRROR IMAGES OF EACH OTHER.

REALLY?

REALLY.

WHY DON'T WE--

WHY DON'T WE
GET OUT OF HERE?

I CAN TELL YOU
MORE ABOUT IT.

OH, HEY! WHAT THE HELL?

I'M SORRY.

HEY, YOU'RE HOLDING
ON TO ME KIND OF TIGHT.

WE'RE LEAVING.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I HAVE SOME
CLUB SODA IN THE BACK

IF YOU WANT
TO CLEAN THAT UP.

YEAH. YEAH. WHY DON'T
YOU LET ME DO THAT?

JUST, UH, RIGHT BACK HERE.

I NEED YOU TO STAY
RIGHT HERE, OK?

WHO IS THAT GUY?

[DIALING]

COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON.

THE BOUNCER SAW AUSTIN
GO OUT THE BACK.

SHE LIKES TO SMOKE
BACK HERE.

WELL, BASED ON
THE WITNESSES' DESCRIPTION,

IT DEFINITELY SOUNDS
LIKE THE UNSUB WAS HERE.

WE GOT UNIs AT HER APARTMENT,
BUT NO ONE'S HOME.

HEY, IT'S AUSTIN.
LEAVE A MESSAGE.

IT KEEPS GOING
STRAIGHT
TO VOICEMAIL.

MAYBE WE COULD
HAVE GARCIA
TRY TO TRIANGULATE

WHERE SHE IS BASED ON
THE CELL PHONE.

HE HAS HER.

WHEN YOU ASKED HIM
IF HE PRACTICES HIS
ROUTINE ON A SEX DOLL...

[LAUGHS]

I ALMOST LOST IT.

YOU KNOW, AS MUCH
AS I HATE WHAT
THAT GUY STANDS FOR,

I STILL READ
"FIVE WAYS
TO GET NOTICED"

IN COSMO MAGAZINE.

BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE.

EMILY...

THANKS FOR DOING THIS.

ABSOLUTELY.

[KNOCKING]

I NEED YOU BOTH OUT HERE.

THE UNSUB'S KIDNAPPED
ANOTHER VICTIM.

GARCIA, YOU'VE GOT VIPER'S
ATTENDANCE RECORDS?

GOT IT. I'M READY
TO PLAY THE PLAYER.

START WITH ROBERT.
NARROW DOWN
THE PERMUTATIONS.

BOB, BOBBY.

THAT GIVES US 23 SUSPECTS.

DO YOU HAVE ACCESS
TO BIRTH RECORDS?
YEAH.

PULL THE MOTHERS' NAMES

AND CROSS-REFERENCE
WITH WORK AND HOME ADDRESSES

IN FULTON COUNTY.

HOLD ON.

BINGO.
ROBERT C. PARKER LIVES
AT 932 PRYOR STREET.

OH, PRYOR'S
5 MILES FROM HERE.

LET'S GO. JORDAN, HAVE
S.W.A.T. MEET US AT THE SITE.

[CRYING]

YOU MADE A MESS...

AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA
CLEAN IT UP.

[SOBBING]

CLEAN IT UP!

CLEAN IT UP!

CLEAN IT UP!

CLEAN IT UP!

CLEAN IT UP.
FASTER.

FASTER.

[SOBBING]

YOU HEARD ME
SAYING FASTER.

FIRST TEAM IN POSITION.

I'LL DO--WHATEVER YOU
SAY YOU WANT ME
TO DO, I'LL DO IT.

I'LL DO IT, OK.

[SOBBING]

THE HELP...

DOESN'T TALK.

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

FBI!

STAY DOWN! STAY DOWN!

AAH!

GET THIS OFF.

GET IT OFF.
GET IT OFF.

OK. YOU'RE OK.

I CALLED YOU.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.

I KNOW.

I CALLED YOU.

Morgan: LET'S GO.

Woman: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

WHO'S THAT? SOME...

SOMEBODY OUT THERE?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

MRS. PARKER?

WHERE'S ROBERT?
WHERE'S MY SON?

EVERYTHING'S GONNA
BE OK. WE'RE GONNA
GET YOU SOME HELP.

NO. PLEASE.
I NEED ROBERT.

[SOBS]

I NEED TO BE CHANGED.

HE'S JUST OUTSIDE,
MA'AM.

IT'S A DIALYSIS PUMP.

IT WAS ISSUED 10 MONTHS AGO.

WE FOUND OUR
SECONDARY TRIGGER.

Rossi: P.J. O'ROURKE WROTE,

"CLEANLINESS BECOMES
MORE IMPORTANT WHEN
GODLINESS IS UNLIKELY."

[KNOCKING]

COME IN.

MY REPORT.

THANK YOU.

JORDAN?

PRENTISS SAID
YOU WERE EXCELLENT
IN THE FIELD.

ASTUTE, RESPONSIVE.
YOU THOUGHT WELL
ON YOUR FEET.

SHE'S BEING GENEROUS.
I REALLY ENJOYED
WORKING WITH HER.

YOU ALSO POSITED EARLY
ON THAT VANESSA HOLDEN
MIGHT KNOW THE UNSUB.

WELL, HE DIDN'T FIT
THE PROFILE OF
A SEXUAL SADIST.

AND YOU WERE RIGHT.

CLEARLY, OUR UNSUB
WAS MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THE PROFILE.

ANYWAY, I JUST
WANTED YOU TO KNOW

THAT YOU HAVE
THE GREEN LIGHT AGAIN.

AND I TRUST
YOUR JUDGMENT.

THANK YOU.

HEY. HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

GREAT. I TOLD MY HMO
I GOT ABDUCTED
BY A SERIAL KILLER,

SO THEY GAVE ME
FREE DENTAL X-RAYS.

[CHUCKLES]

I'M GLAD YOUR STAY
AT THE HOSPITAL

WASN'T TOO TERRIBLE,
THEN.

YEAH, MY DOCTOR GAVE ME
A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.

HE TOLD ME I COULD
EVEN GO BACK TO WORK
IF I WANTED TO.

ALL RIGHT. BACK
TO BARTENDING. ALL RIGHT.

NO. I QUIT THAT JOB.

MY RECENT BRUSH WITH DEATH

HAS INSPIRED ME TO PURSUE
A DIFFERENT CAREER.

WELL, THAT'S--THAT'S
VERY EXCITING NEWS.

WHAT'S, UM--WHAT IS
THE NEW JOB PATH?

UH, WELL,

I WAS THINKING ABOUT
TAKING UP MAGIC.

HAVE YOU OPENED
THE PACKAGE YET?

WHAT IS THIS?

IS THIS YOUR CARD?

YEAH. IT, UH,
IT IS MY CARD.

COOL.
