Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 5, Episode 6 - The Eyes Have It - full transcript

JJ: PREVIOUSLY
ON "CRIMINAL MINDS"...

THE BUREAU THINKS
THAT MY ABILITY
TO LEAD THIS TEAM

HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

I'M RESIGNING AS UNIT CHIEF
AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

WHAT?!
I'M NOT LEAVING THE TEAM.

I'M JUST NO LONGER
IN CHARGE.

YOU ARE.
ME?

MS. BARNES, I'M SORRY FOR
YOUR BROTHER'S DEATH.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE
SOMETHING PEOPLE SAY,

BUT I TRULY AM SORRY.

THANK YOU
FOR HELPING ME
THROUGH THIS.



OF COURSE.

I THINK YOU NEED
TO CUT CONTACT
WITH TAMARA BARNES.

PENELOPE, SHE LOST HER BROTHER.
SHE JUST WANTS ANSWERS.

I'M NOT INVOLVED.

Man: LET'S GO.

WE HAVE TO HURRY.

WE ARE.

IT'S 10 MINUTES
BEFORE CURFEW.

I'LL GET YOU THERE.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED
WITH BEN?

IT WAS JUST A PECK.

ONLY BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T ALONE,
BUT NEXT TIME--

[GASPS]

SO, ARE YOU GOING TO
TEXT HIM TONIGHT?



MAYBE.

WELL, YOU SHOULD.

I DON'T KNOW. I HAVE
HOMEWORK TO DO STILL.

SO WHAT?

I GUESS HE IS
PRETTY CUTE.

UM, YEAH.

MEGAN!

NO! NO! PLEASE!

STOP! STOP! AAH!

I DON'T KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE
A PROMOTION TO ME.

WELL, YEAH, IT--

IT'S COMPLICATED.

WHAT ISN'T?

HMM.

YEAH.

IT'S JUST EVERYTHING'S
HAPPENED SO FAST,

I MEAN, WE HAVEN'T
EVEN HAD A CHANCE

TO TELL THE REST
OF OUR TEAM YET.

YOU KNOW, I WANTED
TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR...

COMING TO THE HEARING.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS
FAIR TO ASK YOU.

TAMARA, I'M GLAD I COULD
BE THERE FOR YOU.

I THINK THAT THE ONLY TIME
THAT I HAVE FELT SANE AT ALL

IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS
IS WHEN I'VE TALKED TO YOU.

REALLY? I...

I FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONE
WHO'S BEEN DOING
ALL THE TALKING HERE.

YOU'VE HELPED ME
RECONNECT TO MY JOB.

TO MYSELF, REALLY.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

IT'S REALLY NICE
TO SEE YOU, TOO.

SO, LISTEN,

I KNOW THAT YOUR NEW JOB
IS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY

AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
COMMIT A HUNDRED PERCENT,
AND YOU SHOULD.

BUT MAYBE WHEN THINGS
CALM DOWN,

I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK?
FAIR?

YEAH. IT'S MORE THAN FAIR.

ALSO, I WANTED
TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING.

IT WAS WILLIAM'S.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.
PLEASE.

FOR BEING THERE FOR ME.

WHEN YOU LOSE A BROTHER
THE WAY THAT I DID,

IT'S NICE TO HAVE
SOMEONE LIKE YOU AT MY SIDE.

SO, DID ANYONE EXPLAIN
WHY HOTCH IS STEPPING DOWN?

ALL MORGAN SAID THIS MORNING
IS THAT IT'S HAPPENING.

AND IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL.

SO, WE'RE JUST
SUPPOSED TO MOVE FORWARD
WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION?

AFTER FOYET, I THINK
WE'D HAVE TO BE READY
FOR ANYTHING.

Strauss:
DID YOU PICK A CASE?

AGENT JAREAU AND I REVIEWED
THE REQUESTS THIS MORNING,

AND I'VE DECIDED
ON OKLAHOMA CITY.

WHY THIS ONE?

LOCALS HAVE MORE
EVIDENTIARY INFORMATION
IN OTHER PRIORITIES.

THIS ONE, THEY HAVE NOTHING.

THEY NEED US THE MOST.

GOOD.

IF THAT'S ALL,
I'D LIKE TO GATHER THE TEAM.

I'LL BE CHECKING IN.
I EXPECT TO BE BRIEFED.

YES, MA'AM.

IF YOU NEED PRIVACY,
PLEASE USE MY OFFICE.

THAT'S OK. WE'RE DONE HERE.

AND WHEN WE GET BACK,
I'LL CLEAR EVERYTHING OUT

AND IT'LL BE ALL YOURS.

HOTCH, I DON'T WANT
YOUR OFFICE.

I AGREE WITH AGENT HOTCHNER.
THE TEAM LEADER NEEDS
A PROPER OFFICE.

ALL DUE RESPECT,
MS. STRAUSS,

BUT BOTH OF YOU
HAVE TRUSTED ME

TO STEP IN
AS ACTING UNIT CHIEF.

I'M ASKING THAT YOU
RESPECT MY DECISION.

I'VE DECIDED THAT
I DON'T WANT HOTCH'S OFFICE.

THAT'S WHERE HE BELONGS.

IF NECESSARY, WE CAN DISCUSS
THIS AGAIN AT A LATER DATE,

BUT RIGHT NOW, WE REALLY
NEED TO GET STARTED
ON THIS CASE.

GUYS.

GRAB ROSSI.

THIS IS MEGAN CHERTOW
AND HER FRIEND
BINA SUKARTO,

BOTH 17, FOUND 2 NIGHTS AGO
IN A PARKING GARAGE,

CAROTIDS SEVERED.

THIS IS JOHN O'HERON, 61.

HE WAS FOUND DEAD
IN A WOODED AREA 4 DAYS AGO,

BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA
TO THE HEAD.

DIFFERENT M.O.

AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
VICTIMOLOGY.

Rossi: HOW ARE
THE CASES LINKED?

JJ: THEIR EYES
HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

OH, HE'S AN ENUCLEATOR.

THERE'S A NAME FOR THIS?

IT'S A RARE SUBSET
OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR,

BUT THERE HAVE BEEN
CASE STUDIES OF
ASSAULTIVE ENUCLEATORS.

THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
OF THEM SUFFER FROM
DIAGNOSED MENTAL DISORDERS.

Reid: AND THEY'RE
USUALLY MALES,

LACK SOCIAL SKILLS,

THEIR KILLS ARE
DISORGANIZED AND SLOPPY.

THE TYPICAL ENUCLEATOR
GOUGES THE EYES OUT,

BUT HE DOESN'T NORMALLY
TAKE THEM WITH HIM.

THIS GUY DID?

WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHY.

THERE ARE
NOTICEABLE SHIFTS

FROM THE FIRST
TO SECOND MURDER.

HE GOES FROM KILLING
IN SECLUSION

TO A PUBLIC PLACE.

AND HE ESCALATED
FROM ONE VICTIM TO 2.

WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST IS
THERE'S LESS THAN 48 HOURS

BETWEEN THE MURDERS.
THAT'S WHY I CHOSE
THIS CASE.

Hotch: AND FROM WHAT WE KNOW
ABOUT ENUCLEATORS,

THEY'RE ALMOST ALWAYS
MULTIPLE REPEAT OFFENDERS.

EXACTLY. WHICH MEANS
HE'S GOING TO NEED
TO KILL AGAIN SOON.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S MEET
ON THE PLANE IN 30.

AAH!

AAH!

Morgan: "AND IF THY RIGHT EYE
OFFEND THEE,

PLUCK IT OUT
AND CAST IT FROM THEE."

MATTHEW 5:29.

THE COLOR OF ALL THE VICTIMS'
EYES ARE DIFFERENT,

SO THAT PROBABLY DOESN'T
FACTOR IN TO VICTIMOLOGY.

IT'S MORE LIKELY WHAT
HE SEES IN THE EYES.

CASE STUDIES SHOW
THAT MOST ENUCLEATORS

SUFFER FROM DELUSIONS.

THEY HEAR VOICES
AND SEE THINGS
IN PEOPLE'S EYES.

USUALLY SOMETHING EVIL.

THEY'RE DRIVEN TO ENUCLEATE
TO DESTROY THE DEVIL.

IT POINTS TO SOMEONE WHO MAY
HAVE BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED

AND RECENTLY RELEASED.

I'LL HAVE GARCIA
START LOOKING.

ALL RIGHT, SO TALK TO ME.

WHAT MAKES THESE ATTACKS
SO DIFFERENT?

WITH VICTIM ONE, THERE WERE
MULTIPLE BLUNT FORCE STRIKES
TO THE HEAD--

A MORE PERSONAL KILL.

AND HE DISPOSED OF THE BODY,

MAYBE AS A FORENSIC
COUNTERMEASURE.

THE NEXT MURDERS SEEMED
LESS PERSONAL,

MORE OPPORTUNISTIC.

I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK
AT WHY THE FIRST VICTIM

WAS BLUDGEONED AND DUMPED.

PERHAPS THE UNSUB
KNEW HIM.

PRENTISS, I WANT YOU TO GO
TO THE DISPOSAL SITE,

SEE IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT
WHY HE WAS DUMPED THERE.

ROSSI, YOU AND I ARE
GONNA GO TO LAST NIGHT'S
CRIME SCENE.

ACTUALLY, UH,
THE GIRLS' FAMILIES

ASKED TO SPEAK
TO OUR TEAM LEADER.

ALL RIGHT. UM...

OK, IN THAT CASE,
ROSSI, YOU CAN HANDLE
THE CRIME SCENE SOLO.

JJ, YOU'RE WITH ME,

AND, HOTCH, REID,

I WANT YOU TO GET INTO
JOHN O'HERON'S LIFE,

SEE IF ANYTHING AT ALL
POINTS TO A PERSONAL MOTIVE.

HEY. PHIL BRANTLEY.
APPRECIATE Y'ALL COMING.

AGENT HOTCHNER.
THIS IS DR. REID.

YOU'LL MEET THE REST
OF THE TEAM LATER.

EXCELLENT.
EXCELLENT.

OK, HERE'S WHERE
THE FIRST BODY
WAS FOUND,

JUST OUTSIDE
OF TOWN.

AND LAST NIGHT'S
MURDERS WERE HERE.

AND THAT'S ABOUT
22 MILES APART.

THAT'S UNUSUAL.
WHAT?

SERIAL KILLERS USUALLY HAVE
A SMALLER KILL ZONE.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

IT'S OUR TECHNICAL ANALYST.

HEY, GARCIA,
YOU'RE ON SPEAKERPHONE.

SO, I LOOKED UP
RECENTLY RELEASED
MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS

WHO HAVE A HISTORY
OF EYE GOUGING,

EYE ASSAULT,
AND OTHER GROSS THINGS

YOU CAN DO TO EYES
AND SOCKETS.

AND THERE'S NO BINGO
FOR OKIE CITY RESIDENTS.

ANY OTHER RECENT ATTACKS
INVOLVING ASSAULTS ON EYES?

THERE'S ONE 9 MONTHS AGO.
HE'S NOT YOUR GUY,
'CAUSE HE'S IN JAIL.

WE'LL CALL YOU LATER.

10-4, BREAKER BREAKER.

BYE.

YOU THINK HE'S FRESH OUT
OF AN ASYLUM?

EITHER THAT OR HE'S BEEN HELD
SOMEWHERE AND HE'S NOW FREE.

WE'VE SEEN EYE ASSAULTS
BEFORE,

YOU KNOW, BAR BRAWLS, RAPES,
DOMESTIC ABUSE CASES.

BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS.

WHAT THE HELL'S
HE DOING WITH THE EYES?

HE COULD BE COLLECTING THEM
AS A TROPHY OF SOME SORT.

Reid: THEY WOULDN'T
KEEP LONG AS TROPHIES.

EYES ARE 80% VITREOUS HUMOR,

WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY WATER.

AFTER A FEW HOURS, THEY BEGIN
TO GET CLOUDY AND WILT.

ANY OTHER THEORIES?

THERE HAVE BEEN CASES
WHERE AFTER ENUCLEATION,

MENTAL PATIENTS
HAVE CONSUMED THE EYEBALLS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE.

IT'S NO PROBLEM.

WE CAN'T LEAVE OUR HOUSE.

WE HAVE TO MOURN FOR 3 DAYS.

BUDDHIST RITUALS?

YES.

DID YOUR SISTER CALL YOU

WHILE SHE WAS OUT
LAST NIGHT?

NO. I KNEW
SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

SHE ALWAYS COMES HOME
BY CURFEW.

DOES THIS MAN LOOK
FAMILIAR TO YOU?

NO.

WHY DO YOU ASK?

WE BELIEVE
HE AND YOUR SISTER

WERE KILLED
BY THE SAME PERSON.

IT HELPS US TO RULE OUT
ANY CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE VICTIMS,

AND IT TELLS US
THAT YOUR SISTER
WAS MOST LIKELY

ATTACKED AT RANDOM.

OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

I ASKED TO SPEAK TO YOU

BECAUSE WE NEED YOU
TO DO SOMETHING FOR US.

[TAKES BREATH] MM.

IT'S OK.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

GRANDMA SAID SHE SAW
BINA'S GHOST LAST NIGHT.

HER EYES WERE JUST
BIG BLACK HOLES.

BINA WAS LOOKING
FOR HER EYES.

SHE SAYS BINA'S CURSED.

SHE CAN'T REST.

SHE'S STUCK FOR ETERNITY

LOOKING FOR HER EYES.

WE WANT TO CREMATE HER.

BUT WE NEED ALL OF HER.

CAN YOU FIND HER EYES
FOR US?

WE WILL TRY.

BUT REALISTICALLY,
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO.

THEN SHE WILL BE CURSED
FOREVER.

SHE MAY NEVER REST IN PEACE.

O'HERON'S FRIENDS SAY
HE HAS A HISTORY
OF DRUNKEN BEHAVIOR,

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW ANYBODY
WITH A GRUDGE AGAINST HIM.

HE WAS LAST SEEN
LEAVING A BAR.

BARTENDER ON DUTY SAID
HE LEFT WITHOUT INCIDENT.

WHERE DID HE GO
AFTER THAT?

I CHECKED OUT
THE DISPOSAL SITE

WHERE JOHN O'HERON'S BODY
WAS DUMPED.

IT'S A REMOTE FARM ROAD.

THE UNSUB DIDN'T JUST
STUMBLE ON IT. HE KNOWS IT.

WE NEED A LIST OF PEOPLE
WHO WORK OR LIVE
NEAR THE AREA.

I GOT A BAD FEELING
ABOUT THIS GUY.

WHY IS THAT?

HE CHOSE
THAT PARKING GARAGE.

HE WAS PATIENT.

HE HID AND WAITED
FOR THE RIGHT VICTIMS

AND THE RIGHT TIME
AND PLACE.

HE BLITZED THEM.

IT WAS ALL STRATEGIC.

THAT SOUNDS WAY TOO ORGANIZED
FOR A TYPICAL ENUCLEATOR.

ADD TO THAT HIS LACK
OF A COOLING-OFF PERIOD
BETWEEN KILLS,

IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY
TO GET AHEAD OF HIM.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH THE M.E.

SHE SAYS THERE'S
SOMETHING WE SHOULD SEE.

THE EYEBALL IS HELD
IN THE SOCKET

BY 6 DIFFERENT MUSCLES,
FATTY TISSUE,

AND THE OPTIC NERVES.

THESE ARE PICTURES OF
JOHN O'HERON'S EYE SOCKETS.

SEE THE OPTIC NERVES
PROTRUDING?

TRAUMA. THEY WERE RIPPED OUT.

MAYBE WITH FINGERS.

NOW COMPARE THIS
TO MY BODY ON THE TABLE.

SMOOTH INSIDE, NO BRUISING,
NO SIGN OF TRAUMA.

OPTIC NERVES RETRACTED
INTO THE MUSCLE

AND THEY HAVE
A CLEAN EDGE.

SO, YOU'RE SAYING
THESE WERE CUT OUT.

WITH A SHARP-EDGED TOOL.

HE MANAGED TO AVOID
CUTTING THE SOCKETS

OR THE EYELIDS.

THIS WAS PRECISE WORK.

THE KIND OF WORK
ONLY A DOCTOR COULD DO?

ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT
WITH BOTH OF THESE GIRLS,

IT WAS A CLEAN EXCISION.

OK, SO HE WAS CRUDE
WITH THE FIRST VICTIM,

SURGICAL WITH THE OTHERS.

THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT
HE'S GOING THROUGH

TO REMOVE THE EYES NOW,
HE WOULDN'T DESTROY THEM.

HE'S KEEPING THEM.

[PANTING]

[RUSTLING]

OHH!

IT'S SECLUDED, BUT HE
CHOSE A PUBLIC SPOT AGAIN.

HE'S NOT AFRAID
TO GET CAUGHT.

THIS IS FAR FROM
THE OTHER CRIME SCENES.

WHAT BROUGHT HIM HERE?

WELL, HE ONLY KILLED
ONE PERSON THIS TIME.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN MORE.

HEY, WE FOUND A CAR
PARKED NEARBY.

I.D.'d HER FROM
A DMV PHOTO.

TRACY COPPER, 32.
HUSBAND SAID SHE WAS
AN AVID JOGGER.

SINGLE KNIFE WOUND
TO THE NECK,
EYES ARE MISSING.

CUT OUT AS CAREFULLY
AS THE LAST ONES.

HEY, GARCIA. SO, WE HAVE
THE LIST OF LOCAL DOCTORS,

BUT WE NEED TO BACK IT UP
ONE STEP.

WHERE SHALL I SPLICE,
MY PRETTIES?

GIVE ME A LIST
OF ALL DOCTORS

WHO'VE HAD INFRACTIONS
LIKE MALPRACTICE SUITS.

GOT IT. BOUNCING YOUR WAY.

NARROW IT DOWN
TO EYE SPECIALISTS.

WHOO, THAT'S STILL
A LOT OF NAMES.

WE'LL CHIP AWAY
WHEN WE KNOW MORE.

HEY, WAIT.
BEFORE YOU HANG UP,

HOW'S MY MORGAN DOING?

FINE.

I KNOW THE MAN IS FINE.

HOW'S HE HOLDING UP
AS HEAD HONCHO?

WELL, HE'S STRESSED,
BUT HE'S ON TOP OF IT.

SPEAKING OF WHICH,

THERE IS SOMETHING
YOU COULD DO FOR HIM.

NAME IT.

HE MUST HAVE HIDDEN
IN THESE TREES
LYING IN WAIT AGAIN.

SO, HE PICKED HIS LOCATION
AND THEN WAITED FOR
A VICTIM OF OPPORTUNITY.

HE BLITZES HER BECAUSE
HE LACKS THE SOCIAL
SKILLS TO CHARM.

THAT FEELS LIKE
THE SAME PATTERN

AS THE GIRLS
IN THE PARKING LOT.

BUT HE WAS QUIET
IN THE PARKING LOT.

IF HE HID IN THESE TREES,
THERE'S TOO MUCH DRY BRUSH.

HE WOULD HAVE MADE NOISE.

NO, IT'S TOO SLOPPY FOR HIM.

SHE WAS A SERIOUS JOGGER.
IF SHE'D HEARD HIM,

SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO OUTRUN HIM.

UNLESS HE SURPRISED HER
SOME OTHER WAY.

GUYS.

WHAT IS THAT?

TRIPWIRE?

WE NEED TO LOOK
AT HER ANKLES.

HE USED THE TRIPWIRE
TO GET HER OFF HER FEET.

SHE'S STUNNED
AND SHE DOESN'T
HAVE TIME TO RUN AWAY.

HE LAID A TRAP FOR HER.

ALL THIS, PLUS THE WAY
HE BLEEDS HER AT THE NECK.

IT'S THE BEHAVIOR
OF A GAME HUNTER.

HUNTING'S A BIG PART
OF THIS CITY'S CULTURE.

YEAH, HUNTING ANIMALS IS.

WHAT TRIGGERED HIM
TO START HUNTING HUMANS?

THIS GUY IS TAKING
PEOPLE'S EYES,

SO HE'S DEFINITELY
DISTURBED.

WHAT BUGS ME IS THAT
PEOPLE LIKE THIS

USUALLY UNRAVEL,
GET SLOPPY.

AND THIS GUY'S
ONLY GETTING BETTER.

THEY'RE BACK.

MORGAN, I'M FIELDING CALLS
LEFT AND RIGHT HERE.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
CASE MADE NATIONAL NEWS.

THEY'RE STARTING TO CALL
HIM THE EYE SNATCHER.

ALL RIGHT, UM,

YOU'RE GONNA HOLD A SMALL,
CONTROLLED PRESS CONFERENCE.

ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS,
BUT TRY TO SQUASH THAT NAME.

I WANT THE PEOPLE TO BE AWARE,
BUT I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE

A BOGEYMAN OUT OF THIS GUY.
YOU UNDERSTAND?

YEAH. YEAH.

IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE?

YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING
STRAUSS' CALLS.

SHE'S JUST TRYING
TO KEEP TABS. SHE CAN WAIT.

MORGAN, I THINK
YOU SHOULD TAKE THE TIME
TO FIELD THE CALL.

HOTCH, WE HAVE TO SET UP
A TIP LINE.

WE HAVE TO GO OVER
JJ's TALKING POINTS.

WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN
THE PROFILE OUT YET.

ALL OF THAT TAKES PRIORITY
OVER DEALING WITH STRAUSS.

I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT.

LET US HELP YOU
SET UP STRATEGY
WHILE YOU TALK TO HER.

WE'LL REGROUP WITH YOU
BEFORE WE PROCEED.

WE HAVE ENOUGH BATTLES.
BELIEVE ME, YOU DON'T WANT
TO FIGHT HER, TOO.

LET ME GET THIS PROFILE OUT,

AND THEN I'LL GO TALK
TO STRAUSS.

HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB.

HE IS.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
HOW THIS IS GOING TO END?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MORGAN AS OUR UNIT CHIEF
IS A TEMPORARY THING.

IT IS.

HE'S A NATURAL LEADER.
HE'LL EXCEL.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
HE'S ASKED TO STEP DOWN?

[INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION]

WE BELIEVE THAT OUR UNSUB

MAY HAVE KNOWN
HIS FIRST VICTIM,

YET THE REST WERE RANDOM.

MOST ENUCLEATORS
HAVE A MENTAL DISORDER

AND ARE FRENZIED AND SLOPPY
WHEN THEY ATTACK.

THIS ONE HAS MORE CONTROL.

WE ARE NOT CALLING HIM
BY ANY NICKNAME.

HE IS SIMPLY A MURDERER
THAT THE FBI IS TRYING
TO APPREHEND.

HE LAYS IN WAIT
TO KILL HIS VICTIMS,

KNOWS HOW TO CUT THEM
SO THEY BLEED OUT.

THIS INDICATES HE MIGHT
HAVE A HUNTING BACKGROUND.

WE'RE URGING CITIZENS
TO BE HYPERVIGILANT
AT NIGHT.

HE IS KILLING IN DIFFERENT
AREAS OF THE CITY

IN PUBLIC PLACES.

HIS LARGE KILL ZONE
COULD BE RELATED

TO SOME TYPE
OF TRAVEL PATTERN
IN HIS LIFE,

WHICH INDICATES A COMFORT
WITH THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.

WHY, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
IS HE KILLING PEOPLE
EVERY DAY?

THE ESCALATION
MIGHT BE CAUSED

BY A SELF-IMPOSED
TIME LINE.

HE HAS TO MURDER
SO MANY PEOPLE,

TAKE THIS MANY EYES,
TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK.

SO, HE'S CRAZY,
BUT HE'S GOT A MISSION?

ACTUALLY, YES.

HE'S ACTING
ON A DELUSION

THAT'S FUELING
THIS MURDER SPREE.

FOR EXAMPLE,

A MAN NAMED HERBERT MULLIN.

HE HAD A FEAR OF A CATASTROPHIC
EARTHQUAKE HITTING CALIFORNIA.

NOW, HE BELIEVED
THAT BY KILLING PEOPLE

AND OFFERING THEIR BLOOD
AS A SACRIFICE TO THE EARTH,

HE COULD PREVENT
AN EARTHQUAKE.

HE WAS A PARANOID
SCHIZOPHRENIC,

AND HIS DELUSION LED HIM
TO KILL 13 PEOPLE.

UH, WHAT SHOULD WE LOOK FOR
WHEN WE'RE ON THE STREETS?

WE BELIEVE HE'S
A WHITE MALE, 27 TO 35.

WE BELIEVE HE IS DRIVING
A VAN OR A PICKUP TRUCK

WITH A REMOVABLE CAB.

SOMETHING UTILITARIAN
THAT CAN GET BLOODY
AND WASH OUT EASILY.

HE MAY ALSO HAVE APPLIED
FOR HUNTING LICENSES.

HE HAS SOME SORT OF MEDICAL
OR SURGICAL TRAINING

BUT FELL SHORT OF MAKING
A CAREER OUT OF IT.

JJ: HE MAY HAVE BEEN
IN A HALFWAY HOUSE

OR HAVE BEEN GRANTED LEAVE
FROM A TREATMENT FACILITY.

MAYBE HIS FAMILY MOVED HIM
AWAY AND NOW HE'S BACK.

IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO FITS
THESE TYPES OF SCENARIOS,

PLEASE CALL OUR TIP LINE.

OUR UNSUB
KILLS AT NIGHT,

EMPLOYS HUNTING TACTICS,
AND IS PATIENT.

HE WILL WAIT
UNTIL HE CAN BE ALONE
WITH HIS VICTIMS.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[RING]

CHIEF STRAUSS.

YOU'RE ANSWERING
MY CALLS NOW?

LISTEN, I APOLOGIZE
FOR THIS MORNING,

BUT I'M SURE YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND HOW BUSY WE WERE.

SO, WHAT'S THE STRATEGY
TONIGHT?

I HAVE THE TEAM VISITING
PRECINCTS ALL OVER TOWN

HELPING LOCALS SET UP PATROL.

AND MEDIA OUTLETS
ARE WARNING CITIZENS
TO BE HYPERVIGILANT.

WHAT ABOUT SUSPECTS?

NOTHING VIABLE YET.

SO ULTIMATELY,
YOU'RE NO CLOSER
TO CATCHING HIM TONIGHT.

TRUST ME, I AM WELL AWARE
THAT HE IS PROBABLY OUT THERE
HUNTING AS WE SPEAK.

NOW, IF I WAKE UP
IN THE MORNING
AND THERE ARE MORE VICTIMS,

THAT IS ALL ON ME.

LOOK,
I'M NOT CRITICIZING YOU.

IN FACT, THERE ARE
A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO HAVE FAITH IN YOU

AND WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

YES, MA'AM.

I'M JUST CHECKING IN
TO MAKE SURE
YOUR TEAM IS INTACT

AND THAT YOU HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO DO YOUR JOB.

THIS TEAM IS SOLID,

AND WE WILL GET
THE JOB DONE.

WE'LL TOUCH BASE
TOMORROW.

I'M DREADING
GOING TO WORK.

YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT.

HEY, I'LL START LOOKING
FOR A NEW JOB.

WE'LL GRAB A PAPER
IN THE MORNING

AND START CIRCLING
WHATEVER LOOKS GOOD TO YOU.

[METAL SNAPS]

DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?

THAT'S WEIRD.

I SEE SOMEONE.

[METAL SNAPS]

HELLO!

HELLO?

WES?
WHAT THE HELL'S HE DOING?

I'M FREAKING OUT.

THERE'S NO RECEPTION.

LET'S GO.

NO, SANDY.
NOT THAT WAY.

WES, CAN YOU SEE?

QUIET, BABY.
HE CAN HEAR US.

HE'S BEHIND US.

GET IN FRONT OF ME.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

GET TO THE CAR.
DOWN THE HILL.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]

GO. GO, GO.

GO, SANDY. GO.

UHH! OHH...

UHH!

[RUSTLING]

WES.

WES?

WES.

NO, PLEASE DON'T.

THOUGHT I'D BEAT
EVERYONE HERE.

NO.

YOU WERE HERE
ALL NIGHT?

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T
DO THAT AGAIN, RIGHT?

ROSSI,
WHEN YOU WALKED IN HERE,

I REALLY THOUGHT
YOU WERE GONNA TELL ME
THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER VICTIM.

WE'RE HAVING NO LUCK AT ALL
TRYING TO FIND THIS GUY
ON PAPER.

THAT'S WHY WE STEP AWAY,

GET SOME SLEEP,
COME BACK FRESH.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A DOCTOR
WHO IS ALSO A HUNTER

AND A FORMER MENTAL PATIENT
WHO HAPPENS TO BE CUTTING
PEOPLE'S EYES OUT.

TRUST THE PROFILE.

WHEN WE GET HIM,
IT'LL ALL MAKE SENSE.

GOOD MORNING.

NO, IT ISN'T.

DON'T TELL ME.

Brantley: A MALE
AND A FEMALE.

Rossi: HE'S BACK
TO KILLING 2?

THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT
ABOUT THIS CRIME SCENE,
THOUGH.

HE CUT THE WIRES
IN THE ELECTRICAL BOXES,

KILLED ALL THE LIGHTS.

SO THEY COULDN'T SEE.

HE WANTED TO FORCE THEM
OFF THE TRAIL

SO HE COULD HUNT THEM
IN THE DARK.

IF THEY COULDN'T SEE,
HE COULDN'T.

HE PROBABLY USED SOME KIND
OF NIGHT VISION AID,

LIKE A SCOPE, SOMETHING
A HUNTER WOULD USE.

HER CAROTID WAS SEVERED,

AND HER EYES ARE MISSING,
JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.

HE DIDN'T TAKE
THE BOY'S EYES.

WELL, WHY NOT?
WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT?

THERE'S A LACERATION
ON HIS LEFT EYE.

THE RIGHT EYE,
HE DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH.

HE'S GOT DEFENSIVE WOUNDS
ON HIS ARMS.

HE PROBABLY TRIED TO FIGHT
BACK TO PROTECT THE GIRL.

DURING THE FIGHT, THE UNSUB
COULD HAVE CUT HIS EYE.

WE SAID HE MIGHT BE
COLLECTING THEM.

WHAT IF HE NEEDS A SET?
AN INJURY LIKE THAT
RUINS THE COLLECTION.

THEY'RE TROPHIES.
OH, MY GOD.

WHAT?

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY,
BUT JUST HEAR ME OUT.

A TAXIDERMIST?

MORGAN MIGHT BE
ONTO SOMETHING.

THE UNSUB'S COLLECTING
SETS OF EYES THAT
NEED TO BE FLAWLESS.

BECAUSE HE'S PRESERVING THEM
AS A TROPHY OF SOME KIND.

WE SAID HE WAS A HUNTER.
WHAT DO HUNTERS COLLECT
FOR TROPHIES?

WHAT IF WE'RE WRONG
ABOUT HIM BEING A DOCTOR?

IT MAKES SENSE.

A TAXIDERMIST HAS
ALL THE SKILLS AND SUPPLIES

NEEDED TO PRESERVE EYES
AND OTHER BODY PARTS.

DO THEY KNOW
HOW TO SURGICALLY
REMOVE EYES LIKE THIS?

YEAH, THEY HAVE
ANATOMY KNOWLEDGE.

THEY HAVE TO CUT THROUGH
MUSCLE, TISSUE, AND NERVES

IN ORDER TO REMOVE HIDE.
IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING
FOR EYEBALLS.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

GARCIA, YOU'RE ON SPEAKER.

COMRADES, I CROSS-REFERENCED

THIS JOHN O'HERON
WITH OKIE CITY ANIMAL STUFFERS.

TURNS OUT HE WROTE A $250 CHECK
AS SOME SORT OF DEPOSIT

FOR LLOYD'S WILD GAME SHOP
6 WEEKS AGO.

NOW, THIS PLACE
IS SCANT MILES
FROM THE FARM ROAD

WHERE OUR FIRST VICTIM
WAS DUMPED.

DOES LLOYD
HAVE A RECORD?

UH...LLOYD BULFORD

HAS ONE RECENT RECORD
FROM THE CITY, AND IT IS...

A DEATH CERTIFICATE.

HE DIED 4 WEEKS AGO.

JJ: OF WHAT?

EMPHYSEMA.

ANY EMPLOYEES WITH
CRIMINAL RECORDS?

HE'S GOT NO EMPLOYMENT
RECORDS AT ALL.

HE HAS A 28-YEAR-OLD SON
NAMED EARL WHO LIVES WITH HIM

WHO HAS A PETTY CRIME RECORD

AND 3 COUNTS OF ANIMAL CRUELTY.

GARCIA, GET EVERYTHING
ON THE SON.

Garcia: OKEY-DOKEY.

MORGAN, WE MAY
HAVE SOMEONE.

[DRILL BUZZING]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[DRILL STOPS]

Woman: I'M CALLING
FROM OKLAHOMA CITY
BANK AND TRUST.

THIS IS OUR FIFTH ATTEMPT
TO REACH MR. EARL BULFORD.

WE JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU
THAT YOU NEED TO COLLECT
ALL YOUR BELONGINGS

AND VACATE THE PREMISES
BY SUNDAY.

THE EYES AREN'T RIGHT.

WHERE'S YOUR DAD?

HE'S GOTTA FIX
THOSE EYES.

THE EYES ARE GOOD.

YOU CAN'T DO EYES.

HERE! I'M TAKING IT
SOMEWHERE ELSE.

YOU CAN'T DO EYES.

IS THERE ANY RECORD
OF MENTAL ILLNESS?

NO, BUT MOM HAD
A DEGENERATIVE EYE DISEASE

CALLED RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA,

WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY
LEAD HER TO GO BLIND,

AND CONSIDERING HIS CRIMES,
THAT'S SUPER WEIRD, RIGHT?

SO, ANYWAY, SHE DIED
IN A CAR ACCIDENT
WHEN HE WAS 8,

AND THEN HE GETS
EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL

FOR GETTING IN A FIGHT
WITH A KID

AND TRYING TO GOUGE
THE KID'S EYES OUT.

I HAVE NO RECORD OF HIM
RETURNING TO SCHOOL,

HE HAS NO
EMPLOYMENT RECORDS,

HE'S NEVER FILED FOR TAXES,
HE DOESN'T HAVE
A CREDIT CARD IN HIS NAME.

BESIDES HIS
DRIVER'S LICENSE, THERE'S
NO RECORD ON HIM AT ALL.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHY
HE DIDN'T SHOW UP
ON ANY OF OUR LISTS.

SOUNDS LIKE HE'S TOTALLY
DEPENDENT ON HIS DAD,

AND WHEN DAD DIES,
THERE'S NO ONE LEFT
TO CHECK UP ON HIM.

OK, DAD DROVE A 1990
DARK-BROWN CHEVY CARGO VAN.

HOT NEWS--CREDITORS TOOK
THE HOUSE THIS WEEK,

AND A LIEN WAS PUT
ON THE BUSINESS.

LOST HIS DAD, HIS HOUSE,
ABOUT TO LOSE
THE FAMILY BUSINESS.

CARE TO CHOOSE A STRESSOR?

I'LL TAKE THE BACK
WITH BRANTLEY.

THERE'S NO VAN HERE.

Morgan: COPY.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.

HOTCH, I SEE BLOOD.
WE'RE GOING IN.

Prentiss: CLEAR.

THAT'S GOTTA BE
JOHN O'HERON'S BLOOD.

SO, HE COMES HERE
TO SEE HIS ANIMAL,

THEY ARGUE,
AND THEN THIS HAPPENS.

CLEAR.

HE'S BEEN SLEEPING HERE.

WELL, IF HE'S NOT HERE NOW,
THEN HE'S OUT HUNTING AGAIN.

THIS ONE DOESN'T HAVE EYES.

NEITHER DOES THIS ONE.

THIS ONE DOES.

THIS IS WHAT'S HE'S DOING
WITH THE EYES.

[VAN DOOR CLOSES]

LOOK AT THESE.
HE'S BEEN HUNTING

SINCE HE WAS A KID.

NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL.

PROBABLY SPENT HIS ENTIRE
CHILDHOOD IN HERE.

SOMEBODY THIS SOCIALLY ISOLATED
NO DOUBT HAS MENTAL ISSUES.

LOOKS LIKE
HE ONLY KNEW 2 THINGS--

HUNTING AND TAXIDERMY.

WHICH WAS FINE AS LONG AS
DADDY WAS SUPERVISING HIM.

NOW HIS GATEKEEPER'S GONE
AND HE'S LOOSE.

RIGHT OVER THERE,
PLEASE.

YES, MA'AM.

THIS IS MUCH LATER
THAN YOU GUYS SAID
IT WAS GONNA BE.

LET ME SEE IT.

WOW.

MY DADDY'S
GONNA LOVE IT.

WHAT?

I NEED SOMETHING
FROM YOU.

I THINK THIS IS ALL OF
HIS CUSTOMER INFORMATION.

MORGAN, PRENTISS.

WAIT A MINUTE.
THIS ADDRESS,
JUNCTION ROAD,

IT'S CLOSE TO WHERE
THE TEENAGE GIRLS
GOT KILLED.

I THINK HE'S ATTACKING
ALL OVER TOWN

CLOSE TO WHERE
HIS CUSTOMERS LIVE.

ANOTHER CUSTOMER
ON DRY CREEK ROAD,

CLOSE TO WHERE THAT JOGGER
GOT KILLED IN THE PARK.

AND WHAT ABOUT WHERE THE COUPLE
WAS MURDERED LAST NIGHT?

CLOSE TO THIS ADDRESS HERE.

OK, SO HE'S DELIVERING
THESE ANIMALS
TO HIS CLIENTS' HOMES

AND THEN STICKING
AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
TO FIND VICTIMS.

AND THERE ARE 2 MORE
ADDRESSES HERE.

ALL RIGHT, WE SHOULD
SPLIT UP AND GO.

I'LL GET UNITS
TO THESE LOCATIONS.

ALL RIGHT,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE WOMAN
AT THE BLEAKER ADDRESS
HASN'T SEEN HIM TODAY.

NO RESPONSE
AT THE OTHER RESIDENCE.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[RING]
[KNOCKING]

WHAT THE HELL?

[RING]
[KNOCKING]

MAY I HELP YOU?

I'M AGENT HOTCHNER
WITH THE FBI.

THIS IS LIEUTENANT BRANTLEY.
MAY WE COME IN?
YEAH.

DID YOU GET A DELIVERY TODAY

FROM A TAXIDERMY SHOP
FROM THIS MAN?

YES, I DID.

I NEED AN APB IN MY AREA.
HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS?

ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

HE SAID HE NEEDED
SOMETHING FROM ME.

THE BALANCE I OWED.
I PAID HIM, AND HE LEFT.

HE CREEPED THE HELL
OUT OF ME.

THESE ARE GLASS.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

AGENT HOTCHNER.
THEY FOUND THE VAN.
IT'S CLOSE.

EXCUSE US.

HE MUST BE CLOSE BY.

YOU TAKE THE STREET
TO THE NORTH.

[GRUNTING AND SCREAMING]

UHH! UHH!

AAH! UHH!

AAH!

[GROANING]

AAH!

HELP!

[METAL CLINKS]

I NEED BACKUP NEAR
MOTOR AND DESCANSO.

AAH! AAH!

FBI, EARL!
GET OFF OF HER!

WE GOT HIM.
WE GOT HIM!

CALL AN AMBULANCE!

WE NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

8800 BLOCK OF DESCANSO,
SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET.

Hotch: SECURE HIM.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

HELP IS ON THE WAY.
HOLD STILL.

HOLD STILL.

Brantley:
YOU CAN TALK TO THE FBI
WHEN WE COME BACK.

WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

TOOK HIM DOWN
BY HIMSELF.

Morgan: HOTCH.

BRANTLEY SAYS
YOU TOOK HIM DOWN SOLO.

HE WASN'T FAR
BEHIND ME.

YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD HAVE
WAITED FOR BACKUP.

WOULD YOU HAVE?

WHAT?

NOTHING.

WE GOT HIM.
WE'RE COMING HOME.

[SIGHS] YOU GUYS ROCK.

RIGHT BACK AT YOU.

SO, HOW ARE YOU DOING
ON THAT SPECIAL OPS
MISSION?

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I HAD NO DOUBT.
BYE.

[CHUCKLES]

KEEPER.

THERE HE IS.

THE TEAM'S AT THE HOTEL
PACKING.

YOU THINK WE CAN LEAVE
IN ABOUT AN HOUR?

YEAH. YEAH, WE CAN TRY.

HEY, THAT'S MY STUFF. HEY!

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT STUFF?

HEY. HEY!
KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.

Earl:
THAT GUY WAS MEAN.

HE DESERVED IT.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT...

REAL PRETTY EYES.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE--NOW.

SORRY.

JJ, DID THEY FIND ANY MORE
HUMAN EYES AT THE SHOP?

YEAH, A FEW.
THEY'RE STILL LOOKING.

THEY'RE HOPING
TO MATCH THE EYES

TO THE REST
OF THE VICTIMS.

UH, LISTEN, I MAY NEED
MORE THAN AN HOUR.

MS. SUKARTO.

AGENT MORGAN.

DID YOU FIND THEM?

WE DID.

THEY'RE AT THE CORONER'S
OFFICE RIGHT NOW.

THEY NEED TO BE PROCESSED
FOR EVIDENCE FIRST,

BUT THEY CAN BE SENT
TO THE FUNERAL HOME
OF YOUR CHOICE TOMORROW.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT THIS MEANS TO US.

I REALLY HOPE YOUR SISTER
CAN REST IN PEACE NOW.

GOOD NIGHT.

Morgan: "DWELL IN PEACE
IN THE HOME OF YOUR OWN BEING,

AND THE MESSENGER OF DEATH
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TOUCH YOU."

GURU NANAK.

YOU ARE HERE LATE.

REPORTS.

HOTCH ALWAYS STAYED LATER
THAN THE REST OF US,

AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY.

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO
WRITE THEM ANYMORE.
WHY IS HE STILL HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I DO KNOW
I NEED TO GET SOME REST.

I GOT ANOTHER CASE
STARTING TOMORROW.

UM, I--BEFORE YOU GO,
CAN YOU HELP ME GET
SOMETHING OUT OF STORAGE?

YES, BABY GIRL.
ANYTHING FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

HEY, WHAT'S THAT?
I HAVEN'T SEEN IT BEFORE.

PENELOPE, THERE'S A LOT
OF MY STUFF THAT YOU
HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.

WOW, YOU ARE A TEASE.

VOIL?.

WHAT ARE WE DOING
IN HALL'S OFFICE?

UM, IT'S KIND OF NOT
HALL'S OFFICE ANYMORE.

IT'S YOUR OFFICE.

WHAT?

JJ MADE SOME CALLS.

AGENT HALL'S RETIRING
IN A MONTH,

BUT HE'S FINISHING
HIS CASELOAD AT HOME,

SO, WHILE YOU ALL
WERE AWAY,

MAMA SET TO WORK CLEARING OUT
THE REST OF HIS BOXES

AND SETTING UP AN UBER OFFICE
FIT FOR OUR ACTING UNIT CHIEF.

GARCIA, THIS IS FOR REAL?

IT'S KIND OF BLAH
FOR MY TASTE,

BUT I FIGURED
YOU NEEDED TO KEEP UP
WITH AGENCY STANDARDS.

I DID MAKE YOU YOUR OWN...

SECRET FUN ZONE.

[TOY SQUEAKING]

WOMAN,
YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND.

MM-HMM.

BUT YOU ARE THE BEST.

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

COME HERE, YOU.

I WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE
TO MARK YOUR TERRITORY.

HEY.

THANK YOU.

VERY MUCH.

YOU ARE EVER SO WELCOME.

[DIALING]

HEY. IT'S ME.

YEAH, I'M BACK.

LISTEN, UH...

DOES THAT OFFER
FOR A DRINK STILL STAND?
