Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 6, Episode 19 - With Friends Like These - full transcript

They get soggy
is all I'm saying.

Ben.

Hey, you let 'em
sit too long,

they taste like mush.

Then eat 'em
when you pour 'em.

What if something comes up?

What if you have to
use the bathroom?

Where's Yolanda?

Relax. She's picking up
the chips.

They're out of
guacamole.

I don't like guacamole.



I got chips.

How are we gonna have chips
with no guacamole?

I have a hypothetical
for you.

How long till after
you pour your cereal

do you wait to put it
in your mouth?

I don't eat cereal.

She doesn't eat cereal.

With an ass like that,

she eats something.

That's enough.

25 even.

What do you think, Ben?

No. I-I'm going home
to sleep.

Why? She'd be
so nice for us.



Come on.

Let's do it, Ben.

Stop.

What else you gonna do, huh?

No, I, um...

Come on, guys.

Let's do this,
and then you can sleep.

Yolanda: Let's go, Ben.

Ok.

[Clatter]

Aah!

Penelope, you gotta stop
staring at her.

Prentiss wouldn't want us
to sulk. You know that.

I'm not sulking.

I'm surrounded by
testosterone now.

She would also want us
to embrace Seaver.

I baked.

Congratulations,

gradua?

Kevin ate the "t."

And the "e."

Come on, you.

Listen, I got an idea.

You and I could eat
the "u" and the "a,"

and that way it would say
"congratulations, grad."

Hmm?
Hmm.

And here I always imagined
you feeding me strawberries.

[Both chuckle]

Yes. Yes, you do.

Thank you.

How you doing?

All right.

I'm worried
about the team.

And Strauss thinks
that adding a probationary agent

is gonna solve
our problems.

Seaver knows she's
not replacing Prentiss.

I know. And she's
got potential,

but we need an experienced profiler
and we need one now.

Have you started looking yet?

Yeah. Let me know
if you have any ideas.

Congratulations, Agent Seaver.

Thank you.

Garcia: I did.
Who made the cupcakes?

Thank you all for coming
to my graduation. It meant a lot.

Let's get started.

Ok, we're going
to Portland, Oregon,

and it's not for
a Dead Moon concert.

So, Jay Johnson, a DJ,
was cutting through an alley

on his way home
after leaving a club

when he was bludgeoned
by a pipe

and then stabbed 31 times.

His watch, his cell,
and his computer were stolen.

That was 2 days ago.

Now, early this morning,

Karen Heywood,
a 30-year-old nurse,

she died during
a home invasion.

She was stabbed 40 times,

but first she was bludgeoned

with weapons of opportunity.

8 different ones,
to be exact.

That's too many weapons
for one person.

There was a left- and
a right-handed killer

according to
the M.E. report.

Yeah, but
8 different weapons.

Morgan: So we're looking
for a group.

Yeah, it seems that way.

And the left-handed wounds
were deeper than the right.

Maybe a woman
was involved?

Or a weak man.

Anything taken
from the house?

According to a neighbor,
just some random stuff--

a computer, some jewelry,

a framed picture
of a lily.

And pawnable items.

What do we have,
serial-killing crooks?

Sounds like a musical.

Similar victimology--
young professionals killed 3 miles apart.

Is there a gang situation
in Portland?

Minimal. This seems more like
desperate people in need of quick cash.

Why kill them
if it's just for the money?

That's what
we have to find out.

And we've got 8 hours
till nightfall. Let's go.

[Heavy metal music playing]

What the hell you doing?
I'm trying to sleep.

[Sniffs]

It's 2:00 in
the afternoon, buddy.

You want some, baby?

No, I want--
I want to sleep.

Not until you get cleaned up.

Original Air Date on March 30, 2011

-- sync, corrected by elderman --

Reid: Lizette Reese wrote,

"the old faiths light
their candles all about,

but burly truth comes by
and puts them out."

So both victims around the same
age and killed at night.

One in an alley
on the way to his car,

the other in her home

after coming from
the grocery after work.

There's extreme
overkill in both.

Overkill usually implies
a personal relationship.

Or it could mean that
the victim represents

someone for whom the killer
has extreme anger.

These unsubs are night owls,

stalking and killing
other night owls.

And they're also disorganized.

In one they subdued
their victims

by hitting them with
a pipe found at the scene,

and in the other
they used a knife,

followed by 7 other items
found in the kitchen.

A doorstop,
even a ceramic cat.

All of this just to steal?

When a gang mentality
sets in,

unsubs become more capable
of heinous acts.

It's still odd.
The incidence of robbery

is so low in this area.

That's why I started working
a geographical profile.

First things first,
I factored in

journey to crime distance.

If you look here,

you'll see that
this area of Portland

is well within
the expected 5-mile radius.

I also factored in
distance of decay.

What does distance
have to do with decay?

It's how geo-profilers
measure relative probability

of an offender traveling
outside his comfort zone.

Unsubs prefer to stay in
an area that they know well.

Like you'd commute
to work or to the gym.

The closer the crime scenes,
the greater likelihood it is

that the unsub lives
or works nearby.

Based on my algorithm,

the unsubs either live
or work in the area.

Your sink needs
a new washer.

You got a washer
in here?

No. I don't work for you.

You sure about that, Ben?

Maybe we should do
a Home Store run.

Just put a bowl
underneath it.

Aw, come on. Laziness
is next to slothfulness, Ben.

There's a 24-hour Home
Store near the freeway.

Come--come on, guys.

Get your keys.

No.

Uh--

Are you back-talking me?

I just--I don't
feel like going.

I don't care
how you feel.

Now get your keys
and let's go.

The neighborhood's
very concerned.

Detective,
did your people

process the crime scene?

We wanted you
to take a look at it.

Maybe you'll see
something we missed.

The M.E.'s report says

she died after
the second stab wound

because they hit an artery.

The other wounds didn't bleed.

So why inflict 38 more?

We see it sometimes
with groups.

The fact that others
are involved

helps each of them rationalize
their own violent behavior.

Like Manson and the genocide
in Darfur.

These unsubs like
the feeling of killing.

They get a high from
the adrenaline release.

Yeah, but that lasts
only as long

as the victim
keeps struggling.

That's not what happened here.

So Mr. Johnson
exits the nightclub

through the back door
to get to his car.

Maybe one unsub
can watch from over there

and the other from back there.

Then when he gets here,
another unsub hits him with a pipe

and it's game on.

Look at the vials, Reid.

This is a drug corridor.

That would explain why
there's so much overkill.

Maybe they were
on something.

On the jet I did some
research into the club.

A year ago,
someone O.D.'d inside.

Since then, new management's
clamped down on the partying.

Which means the unsubs
most likely fit in to this area.

Well, if you can't
party inside,

then you come out out here.

They're probably
all the same age.

Yeah, mid-20s.

I checked the back.

There's a flat-screen,
a desktop, and a bicycle.

Now, if this group's
going for pawnable items,

why take a picture
of a lily and other random things?

Maybe they ran out of time.

It's not
a busy neighborhood.

Is the TV bolted down?

No. So a group of unsubs
would have grabbed it.

What if we're looking for
a single unsub?

You think all these footprints
were made by one person?

A group so disorganized
wouldn't do something

as hyper-organized
as wearing the same shoe.

No, I don't think
it's a group.

I think it's one
very erratic killer.

I'll let Morgan know.

You're sure you didn't see
a group here that night?

No. Just that woman
and a few other people,

but no groups.

Look, if our cameras worked,
you could see for yourself.

Is it possible there was a group
out in the parking lot?

It's a ghost town.
Nothing happens here that late.

All right, tell me where
you saw Karen first.

She was buying cookies,

and then she went
to the register.

Any other customers there?

There was one
at the other checkout.

Why would you have
2 registers open that time of night?

There was this weird guy,
mumbling to himself

and swatting the air
like someone was bugging him.

Can you ring me up
over here?

No problem.

What did this guy
look like?

Regular white dude.

Greasy.
He was buying salt,

bag of chips, water.

Did this guy and Karen
interact?

I have a hypothetical
for you.

He said something to her,
but she blew him off.

Just put her head down
and said something dismissive back?

Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

We tend to do that when
strange people talk to us.

Unfortunately,
it can backfire.

Yeah, Hotch. You were right.
He was by himself,

but he was acting strange,
like he was being followed.

Rossi: Reid and Seaver
went to the club

and found that
the first victim

was killed in an area
of high drug use.

If he's hallucinating,
it could be PCP.

That would explain why he stole
random things from Karen's place.

He was out of it.

And the erratic patterns
in the stabbing.

The adrenaline rush
from the drugs

is probably behind
the overkill.

[Beep]

Go ahead, Garcia.

Ok, I checked all
the local pawn shops

to see if any of those stolen
items had shown up there.

I'm coming up empty.

Maybe he's trading
the goods for drugs.

What do you mean, he?
We're talking about a group, right?

No, we think it's a solo addict
who's hallucinating

that he's not alone.

Wow. That is a game-changer.

Thanks.

What in hell
are you waiting for? Ben!

Shut up.

Take the friggin' hammer
and bang him in the head.

Ben: No.

N-not this time.

It's what
we came here to do.

Be a man, Ben.

I am a man.

Take the hammer.

That's why we went
to the Home Store, Ben.

Wh-what if I don't?

Come on! Hurry up!

Fine! Stop
yelling at me!

Do it.

That a boy.

So, the time of death

was about the same
as the last two kills.

He's continuing the
postmortem stabbing.

Colbern:
I counted 40 wounds.

He's accelerating.
Two kills one day apart.

If he's on PCP,
he'd be so violent

he'd use every muscle
he had.

He'd strangle, kick,
bludgeon.

The bedroom's a mess.

We need to find someone
who knew the place

in order to figure out
specifically what was taken.

[Footsteps]
Hey, guys.

You hear that?

Footsteps upstairs?

You think
they heard something?

I think the person
downstairs did.

Gosh, I've been
in this building 27 years.

Now, the worst incident
we ever had

was when Benjamin Headley
up in 402

found out his wife was sleeping
with the cleaner guy

and shot him in the groin.

Ma'am, when did you hear
the screaming?

Oh, it was late.

It was around, uh, 3:30.

Well, then you must have
heard the unsub,

because according to the M.E.,
Joe died around 2:45.

The wh-what? What?

Our suspect, ma'am.

Oh.

What exactly
was the person yelling?

He said, "I was just a kid.

"I was a kid then.

I don't want to kill
anymore."

Was anybody
talking back to him?

I assumed he was yelling
into the phone or something.

You know, maybe he was having
a conversation with his hallucination.

Ohh.

Was he hearing voices?

We're not really sure, ma'am.

You've been a really big help,
Mrs. Donolly. Thank you very much.

If you have any more
questions for me,

you know where
to find me.

Bye.

PCP hallucinations
are terrifying.

He wouldn't want
to talk to them.

Well, hallucinations from
mental illnesses are not violent.

You know, he's in his 20s and was
acting paranoid in the supermarket.

He sounds like a paranoid
schizophrenic to me.

The disease does manifest
itself at this age.

What if the people he's seeing
are blaming him for something.

Or worse. The voices in his head
could be telling him to kill.

[Breathing hard]

Baby, it's not
gonna work.

L-l-leave me alone!

No, no, that is not
gonna cut it.

Get out!

Oh, we're never
gonna leave. Ha ha!

You should have
never hurt us.

I don't know nothin'
about that.

Oh, pick up.

[Knocking] Ben, she's not
gonna help, buddy.

She can help.

Hey!

Let me be!

[Telephone rings]

Ben, is--is that you?

Yeah, it's m-me, mama.

Are you upset?

You--you sound upset, Ben.

I--I need your help.

What can mommy do to help?

And are you stuttering again?

Mama, they're back.

Have you taken
the medication?

No, it doesn't work.

I'm getting sick
of these calls, Ben.

You can't hold down a job.
You can barely function.

Are you praying, Ben?

Maybe I should just
kill myself.

Ben, you need to go
to church like I told you.

The church helped you
the last time

with this problem.

She's lying, Ben.
That's what mothers do.

You stop it.

Mama, I need help now.

Then find a yellow pages
and find a church nearby.

I am sick of these calls
and I am sick of listening to you!

No, mama,
please don't hang up.

[Slams receiver down]

[Whimpering]

[laughing]

We believe our unsub
is a white male

paranoid schizophrenic
who suffers from hallucinations.

Since schizophrenic breaks
usually occur in your early 20s,

we believe he's around this age
and that he lives nearby.

We think this unsub
is hypervigilant,

and in this condition, he's unable
to travel very far from his home.

He kills at night
and is extremely violent.

During the day,
he's most likely a loner.

Someone in this state
probably can't keep a job.

We believe something happened
to our unsub in his childhood.

Childhood voices
are telling him to kill,

or he's misinterpreting
them as doing so.

Our unsub has probably
been coping until now,

but a recent stressor brought him
back to that childhood incident

and is causing him
to act out.

Morgan: Our unsub spends
his days wandering,

trying to fight
the desire to kill,

yet he feels trapped
by his hallucinations.

No matter what he does

or tries to do,
the hallucination's power

is greater than his own.

Because of his limited
social circle as a child,

it is our belief
that the incident

involved close friends
or family.

Now, once we figure out what
happened when he was a kid

and the stressor
that recently triggered a relapse,

we'll be that much closer to
narrowing down the killer's identity.

Mama said, "Ben,
they're not there."

Eyes...

Reid.

We need you all to start
searching in this area.

Based on previous kills,
we know that he strikes at night

and will not retreat
until we find him.

Hello.

May I help you?

I n-need--need
someone to talk to.

Let me finish
lighting these candles.

What seems to be
the problem, sir?

I've been seeing things.

They're b-b-blaming me
for the fire.

Who, son? What fire?

An eye for an eye?

I n-need you
to get rid of them.

What would you
like me to do, son?

When I was 10, the church,
they helped me.

What did they do for you?

They prayed for me.

Gather 'round, all.

God, help this child.

Release his demons.

They called my name.

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

They told me
I'd be freed.

Ben! Ben!

Ben! Ben!

Ben! Ben!

Ben! Ben!

Ben! Ben!

They p-poured water
on my head.

They performed
an exorcism on you.

I need you to do it again.

What you have is a medical
problem, not a spiritual one.

I've been to a doctor.

Churches don't perform
exorcisms anymore.

I need you to make
an exception.

I'm sorry,
but I don't do--

son!
I need help!

I need help!
Son. Son!

Son, calm down.

You know, that profile kind
of makes it sound like

schizophrenia
leads to serial killing.

That's not what we said
at all, Reid.

You know, my mom
has schizophrenia.

There are many
different types.

I know that.

Catatonic, disorganized...

Just because someone suffers from
inability to organize their thoughts

or they can't bathe
or dress themselves,

it doesn't mean they'd stab someone
in the chest 30 times postmortem.

Reid, what's really going on?

Our unsub's hallucinations
aren't fractured

like a typical
schizophrenic.

They're vivid and clear,

leading me to believe that
we're missing an important variable.

Rather than making
crazy conjectures,

I think we should be
trying to figure out what it is.

Ok, listen to me.

I know this is
a scary age for you.

It's when schizophrenic
breaks happen.

Have you talked
to anybody about this?

Emily.

Have you seen a doctor?

They all say I'm fine.

Then why don't you
believe them?

Because predicting one's chances
of developing a genetic condition

are like finding
a penny in an ocean.

I have terrible headaches.
I can't sleep at night.

I can't focus
on our cases.

I only read 5 books
last week.

Come on, kid, you gotta
cut yourself some slack.

You're also depressed
about Prentiss,

and I get it--we all are.

Reid, I miss her every day.

But if your mind
was splitting,

do you really think
you'd be able to figure out

that this team is missing
a variable?

I'm just speculating
that we are.

You need to prove it.

Ok, then you do that.

The moment you are wandering
around the streets aimlessly,

that's when I'll be
concerned about you.

Come on, pretty boy.
Let's get to work.

Had you not used
that lighter, Ben,

none of this
would have happened.

[Yolanda giggling]

Ben, I said wait up!

Sir, don't let 'em on,
please.

Don't let 'em on.

[Voice distorted]
You can't run, Ben.

No, they're lying.

Go sit down, kid.

Because of HPPA laws, I can't get
information on 20-something-year-olds

who've had schizophrenic breaks.

Then check police records.
Maybe he's been arrested.

Oh, I should have thought of that.
Blame the fumes. Ok.

Hey, 6 kids have been
locked up in the last month

within a 40-mile radius.

Any of them for theft?

Um...Mugging,

lewd behavior, car theft.

All right, go through
personal information.

Maybe they've had run-ins
with the law when they were younger.

Yes, sir, I am on that.

You know, at the grocery store
where Karen Heywood was shopping

the night she was murdered,
the Clark said the unsub

was buying water
and a lot of salt.

Saltwater could be used
to torture his victims.

Well, there's no evidence
of that.

It could also be used to remove
victims' blood from clothing.

Think about this, though.
The visions that schizophrenics have

can be interpreted
as demons.

What do some people do when they
think they have demons inside of them?

They could get an exorcism.

Holy water is used
in exorcisms.

What about the salt?

Salt is used in exorcisms
and a variety of religious healings.

What are you
looking for?

The number of churches
in the comfort zone. 3.

All right, let's see if any of
them keep their doors open late.

[Horn honks]

I'm--mm--

I'm n-not hurting
an old lady.

Come on, if you do it,
it'll help things.

It's always temporary
with you.

I need it to work forever.

Pretend it's your mom,

the mother who's sick
of listening to you.

[Breathing hard]

D-do you promise that
you'll go away this time?

Have we ever lied
to you, Ben?

[Yolanda giggles]

He came here in duress

about...2 hours ago.

What did he say?

He said...he said voices
were blaming him

for a fire,

and he needed me
to get rid of them.

You're right.
He thinks he's haunted.

Did he ask you
for an exorcism?

Yes. He claimed his mother
had taken him to get one

when he was young.

And what did you tell him?

I couldn't do it.

Throughout history,
people have confused

possession with mental illness.
Some still do.

Nowadays, most churches turn people
like him over to medical professionals.

I'm assuming he didn't
take your rejection well.

He was very angry.

But he didn't attack you?
He didn't threaten you in any way?

He's probably gotten
help from the church before.

Was there anything else about his
behavior that you found odd?

Like something
he maybe said or did?

No. I told you everything.

Oh, there is one thing.

He had a stutter.

Ok, well, let me know
what you find, Garcia.

Psychogenetic stuttering
begins in the area of the brain

that controls thoughts
and reasoning.

It's most commonly
associated with mental illness.

I checked with
the supermarket guy

and the lady at the building,
but neither one of them

heard stuttering.

Which means
it's either caused

by the schizophrenia medication
or maybe it's situational.

Well, the presence of it
along with the fire information

should help Garcia
narrow down her list.

[Classical music playing]

This victim's a lot older
than his other ones, Morgan.

She must represent
something to him.

Maybe his mother
who had him exorcised.

Now that he can't get one, he's taking
his anger out on a surrogate.

Did the EMTs
try to save her?

Colbern: No. Why?

There's a body imprint
next to her.

Why would the unsub lie down
next to a person he's just killed?

He slept here.

Look at the number
of stab wounds.

There's gotta be
over 50 of them.

71.

Do you know how physically
exhausting it would be

to stab someone
71 times?

It's hard enough to stab
someone 10 times,

but 71--he'd be
completely worn out.

He's accelerated wound counts,
which means he does it intentionally.

Colbern: But why?

Wait, that's it.
If you add the increased

number of stab wounds
and the fact that he slept here

to the vivid hallucinations and
the unexplainable onset of stuttering,

you get the missing variable.
This guy's an insomniac.

Just as adrenaline makes a person love
the feeling of killing,

once it leaves the body
it makes them tired.

He does this all
to sleep?

The insomnia is what makes the
hallucinations so clear,

and sleep is the only release
that he has from them.

You said you'd leave.

Stop complaining.
You slept.

That not how
I want to do it!

But it worked. You look refreshed
and your stutter's gone.

Move!

You're not gonna try the pills.
They're a waste.

Then maybe he'll go
to the clinic.

Yeah, maybe I will!

Get the knife
and let's go.

I want to sleep!

You sassing me, boy?

Ben, just get the knife.

I'm not killing anymore!

Why are you making this
so difficult?

Get off!
Get the knife and let's go.

Ok, here we go. I looked
at that list of schizophrenics

that have been recently
arrested in that 40-mile radius.

I cross-checked it with ones that
have gone to local pharmacies

to get schizophrenia medication like
thorazine or prolixin.

Any of them have prescriptions filled for
sleeping medication as well?

Yes, one.

Ben Foster,

he has a prescription
for thorazine and Ambien.

Uhh!

Ha ha ha ha!
Uhh!

It's likely he uses the money
from the stolen items to buy the pills.

What's his background,
baby girl?

[Grunting]

Whoo! Ha ha!

Whoo! Oh--whoo!

[Grunting]

He moved to Portland
3 years ago.

A month ago he was in
an apartment fire,

after which he got
a sleeping pill medication

because his insomnia
began again.

[Grunting]

Oh, my. When he was 10,

he was questioned
during an investigation

about a fire
that killed 3 people.

It could be part of
the homicidal triad.

I'm looking at the police
report right now.

It turns out
2 months before,

his mom had a local minister
perform an exorcism on him,

and the 3 people
who were killed in the fire

helped perform that exorcism.

Was Ben charged?

No. He was acquitted
in juvie court.

[Grunting]

[Panting]

You got an address?

Uh, 2627 Halden Way.

What, you thought
we had left?

Wishful thinking, huh, Ben?

It's gonna be
all right. It's ok.

What's up?

I think they're after us.
Come on!

Come on, Ben.
We don't want to get caught.

[Tires screeching]

No, no,
I didn't do anything.

If you stay here,
they're gonna get you.

You don't want that,
do you?

I'm not killing anyone!

That's not the point.
You're gonna

Ben. Ben.
Go to jail if you don't leave.

Let's go.

FBI!

Whoo! Ha ha ha! Whoo!

He's out back!

Up you go!

Huhh!

[Laughing]

Seaver, let's go!

Go.

Come on, man,
we gotta hide.

In here! Whoo!

Hotch, we lost him.

We're gonna check
the back alley. Come on.

Shh.

[Panting]

[No audio]

[Running footsteps]

Hey, mom, is that you?

Aah!

Shh! Shh.

[Gasps]

Come here.
I'm not gonna hurt you two,

all right? Listen,
I need you to shut the curtains.

Yes.
Can you do that?

Can you do that for me?

Come on. Come on.

Ok.

[No audio]

Do it.

Ok.

Ok. Go--

go help her.
Go help her.

Get that one.

Help him.

Hurry up!

Hotch: I think we've
got something at 2218.

Come on,
g-get this one.

[Girl whispering]

Here, here.

It's ok.

What do you want to do now?

I just want to sleep.

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

No, you can't sleep.

You promised!

We never promised you that.

You can't keep doing this.

We just did, Ben.

Who is he talking to?

Take the little kid
out first.

I'm not hurting the kid.

Fine, then.

Take the girl.
She's useless.

[Moans]

[Lighter flicks]

Make his stop, please.

There's no one there.

They're right there!

Ben, drop the knife.

[Gasps]

Don't listen to him, Ben.

Shoot me.

Ben, we're not gonna
shoot you,

but we do need you
to put down that knife, ok?

All right, where are the other people
in this room, Ben?

Right there.
You see him?

Right here?

Were they there
for the exorcism?

Mm-hmm.

I didn't kill them,
though. I didn't do it.

Liar.
And I'm not lying!

Ben, they're dead and they
can't hurt you anymore.

They can't?

No, Ben. Your mind is
playing tricks on you.

Once you get help,
it'll all stop.

We're never gonna stop, Ben.

Yes, you are.
Not until we're done with you.

Yeah, ok.

All right, I killed you.
I set the fire.

Ah, it's about time. Ben!

Morgan: Ben,
listen to us. It's ok.

We're gonna get you a doctor's help.
I promise you that.

No. The--

the only way
that you can help me

is if you do it--
if you kill me.

Ben, that's not true.
Listen, the only way

we can help you

is if you take
that knife

and you stab me
in the neck with it.

Are you sure
that'll work?

Oh, I'm absolutely sure of it.

Put that knife down, ok?

Take that knife,

jam me in the neck
with it,

and all your problems
will go away, ok?

Ok.

It's ok. Get going.

Ok.

Aah!

We need an ambulance.

[Ben groans]

Morgan:
Siddhartha Buddha said,

"it is not his enemy or foe

that lures him
into evil ways."

Why are you still up?

I've been looking over
Ben's file.

Turns out he'd been seeing
evil imaginary friends

ever since he was a child.

Ben was always a killer.

You think he had
schizophrenia?

He may have suffered
from some mental disease,

but schizophrenia usually
presents itself

in your late teens
or early 20s.

Ben did kill those people
in that church fire,

which is part of
the homicidal triad.

And his mother thought an exorcism
would get rid of the demons.

The only way you stop a killer
is to catch him, Seaver.

You know, I always viewed
serial killers as monsters.

But Ben's remorse
seemed real.

And that's why
I can't sleep.

I--I can't get him
out of my mind.

Does it ever go away?

Luckily it does.

Try to get some rest.

[Buzzer]

Ben.

Ben?

Ben.

The electroshock
therapy worked.

You shouldn't hear
the voices now.

How do you feel?

Good. Good.

That's good, Ben.

[Buzzer]

Wh-what are you doing here?

They said you'd go away.

You don't want that,
do you, Ben?

I-it's not up to me.

They said I was sick,

that they'd fix me.

No. Our spirits have been with you
your whole life, Ben.

No. You've been with me
since the church fire.

You sure about that, Ben?
