Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 6, Episode 23 - Big Sea - full transcript
The teams heads to Jacksonville, Florida after a pumping crew discovers a mass grave off shore. From the several skeletal remains, Reid is able to determine that there is no biological commonality to the victims, they crossing several age categories, ethnicities, and pre-death health conditions. He is also able to determine that the unsub is killing on average once a year and that he has a professional fisherman background from the knife skills used on the bodies. The team decides to go public and ask for those with missing loved ones to provide some background as to the circumstance of the missing person and some DNA to match to any of the found bodies. When they are able to identify some of the bodies, they do start to find some common aspects specifically to the stories of why they went missing. Identifying the latest target may lead them to the unsub. This case is especially difficult for Morgan, whose missing cousin Cindy may be one of the victims.
Hey, is there a problem
with the pump?
Negative. The pump is fine.
Stand by. Let me check
the pressure.
Good. It's all good.
- All right. Something must be blocking it.
- Boo!
Christ, man!
Kill the pump! Kill the pump!
Kill the pump! Kill the pump!
You gotta help me, man!
Come on!
The barge moves
up and down the coast,
repairing beaches
from weather damage.
And how deep is the water
that this sand's coming from?
About 100 meters.
The pump spews out
all kinds of stuff from the ocean floor.
And you do this every year?
First time in Jacksonville.
We just moved the barge here
three days ago.
Thousands of miles of open water,
and blind luck uncovers
an unsub's graveyard.
I had them stop the pump
once I realized what this was.
We're going to need you
to turn the pump back on.
If we don't keep digging,
we're not gonna know how many bodies
there are down there.
What'd you find?
A scary math problem.
I just finished doing my Jacksonville
missing persons sweep.
There are six unresolved cases,
three of which are kids,
And you have nine adult bodies.
Then he's not hunting here.
Widen your search.
Yeah, I will do that.
Just remember,
It is difficult to I.D. Match
a thigh bone or coccyx.
- Agent Hotchner.
- Yes, sir.
Detective Foreman. Call me J.T.
Not the most cushy arrangement,
but it'll keep your team
close to the crime scene for now.
- Thank you for setting it up.
- Of course.
This will help us preserve what we can.
Excuse me.
Yeah, I'm back.
You know, based on the parasites
on the most recent kill,
the unsub killed
as recently as a month ago,
which means he's still active.
How did you establish
a timeline so quickly?
By reverse engineering Mother Nature.
Each year, sand and sediment
cover up the remains,
creating layers on the ocean floor.
That makes sense.
The deeper the pump dug,
the older the remains.
Nine victims in nine years means
that he's in control of his urges.
- Any sense of the victimology?
- Only that he likes variety.
Pelvic bone width indicates
that he kills both men and woman,
and skull structure says
he crosses racial lines as well.
Agent Hotchner, excuse me.
We found three more remains.
If he's been dumping this long,
it's not just out of convenience.
There's got to be
an emotional tie as well.
He'll change his M.O.
Because he has to,
but he won't be happy about it.
Then he'll have the entire
Atlantic to choose from.
Help!
Help!
Help!
The sea has never
been friendly to man.
At most, it has been the accomplice
of human restlessness.
Joseph Conrad.
You know, that site is known
for record catches of yellowmouth,
so the unsub was smart enough
to dump during the off season
and avoid fishermen.
Then he's a local.
I'm afraid to ask.
Could this be one of my guys?
We run interdiction exercises
around that spot.
No, it's most likely another fisherman.
Well, how could you know?
Come here, I'll show you.
See, he disarticulates
the bodies at the joints.
It helps them sink.
Now, that's a skill that only
an experienced butcher
or fisherman would have.
The bone nicks indicate
this guy inflicted
a lot of pain on his victims,
which means he's a sadist.
Wow.
Excuse me.
Enchantress of all things possible.
Use your imagination.
Can you enchant me
with a list of boat owners in Jacksonville?
You know I can, baby.
Okay, in Duvall County,
we're looking at 31,047
registered boats.
Well, limit that to the boats
that can only be operated
by one person.
Okay, I'm gonna need
a lot more than this to do that.
It's still looking like a list
That makes War and Peace
read like a comic book.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
I'll keep you posted.
Aye aye, captain.
Why wouldn't you be okay?
It's just in cases like these
where there's only pieces, it's tough.
The best we can do is catalog them
and wait for the unsub
to screw up somewhere else.
You think he's moved on?
If he's smart he has.
And so far, this guy
seems very smart.
Have you nailed down
the victimology?
I found a unique evolution, actually.
The earliest victims appear to be high-risk.
These lesions are
consistent with syphilis,
most likely a prostitute.
This one has severely
ground and missing teeth,
commonly seen in excessive
methamphetamine abuse.
And then all of a sudden
out of nowhere,
a sea change...
Healthier and stronger victims
all the way through to number 12.
Lower-risk, harder for him to hunt.
What do we know about the first victim?
You know, that one's tough.
He or she has been in the water so long,
they're mostly bone fragments.
I can attempt to reconstruct...
You've got three hours.
I can do it in two.
Make it one.
How much has gotten out?
Can't tell. Some of these
news crews are national.
If the unsub doesn't know
we found his graveyard yet,
he will soon.
Then we'll hear from everyone
who's ever filed
a missing persons report.
Maybe we can use this
to our advantage.
I could talk to them.
It might feed his ego,
Take the sting out of him losing his site.
It could keep him in the area.
Good.
At this moment it would be
premature to comment
on the details of the case.
Our goal is to identify the recovered
remains as quickly as possible
for the families involved.
In order to expedite that,
we're asking that the families or friends
of people who went missing
from the east coast of the United States
since the year 2000 come forward.
We'll be matching DNA to the remains,
And it will be helpful for us
to have a personal item
from each of the missing persons.
An article of clothing, a hairbrush,
a blanket, a pillowcase,
photographs or medical
or dental records if you have them.
We're also looking for items of significance
to help us determine
the last known whereabouts
of each of the victims.
Correspondence
like letters or emails will be helpful.
Morgan was telling me
how difficult these cases can be.
Who did he lose?
Aunt Yvonne, how you doing?
Derek, is my baby girl on that beach?
We've talked about this.
There's no reason to think
she'd be down here.
She went missing seven years ago
and from Charleston.
That's east coast,
just like your boss said.
Come on now, Auntie.
We both know what happened to Cindi.
Somehow you're just gonna
have to learn to accept it.
I'll stay in touch.
Okay. Thank you, Derek.
Some years back,
Morgan's cousin fled a stalker.
She made it to South Carolina.
She was never seen
or heard from again.
Was it the stalker?
He killed himself two weeks later,
so we never found out for sure.
But Morgan's profile led straight to him.
So whenever unidentified
female remains turn up,
he gets that call.
Why are you doing this?
Come on, man.
Come on, man, talk to me.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Listen! Not again.
Why are you doing this?
Son of a bitch!
Alex Cottle,
Beth Riley, Louise Jones,
come with me, please.
We were working on a gene therapy
project at Johns Hopkins
when Samantha got the news.
Parkinson's.
- That must have been pretty rough on her.
- I was her best friend,
and all I ever got was this postcard.
"Weze, I'm not going back to school.
There's nothing there for me.
I need to find myself.
Love, Sammy."
Does this sound like her to you?
Not really, no.
She would have written
a 12-page letter.
But she addressed it to "Weze."
She's the only one who called me that.
I'd like to keep this if that's all right?
It may be evidence.
I...
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Did you happen to bring anything of hers
that we could get DNA from?
Well, everyone on the project
mapped their DNA into the database.
I'll need that information.
You know, on this first victim,
the more I work on this skeleton,
the more I question its condition.
The ocean floor preserved
the other remains remarkably well.
I think something else caused this.
Could this be the age of these bones
as opposed to the others?
Well, he's significantly older.
Arthritis in the joints
puts him in his late 50s,
but that doesn't account
for this degree of breakdown.
In fact, nothing in the ocean would.
If the unsub's responsible,
maybe he didn't disarticulate this victim
but he tore him apart instead.
And look at this.
This bone has a defensive wound,
like he held it up
before the blow came down.
I think the bone-smashing occurred
while the victim was still alive.
Overkill.
He worked out a lot
of aggression on this victim.
He didn't do that with the others.
That would indicate a personal relationship.
- Father?
- That would be my guess and not a good one,
based on the low calcium levels
consistent with alcoholism.
Think it's time to rethink Cindi?
Rossi, the only connection
right now is Charleston.
It's weak.
Victim number 5
is an African-American woman in her 20s
who died in 2004.
That's not weak.
My aunt has spent years
obsessing over Cindi's last few hours.
She doesn't go out.
She doesn't sleep.
She forgets to take her medication.
It's killing her, Rossi.
It hasn't been easy for you, either.
But everything I've learned
as a profiler has taught me
that it's not about what I want to be true.
It's about what I can prove.
So I can't go there.
We got a match.
Meet our first confirmed victim,
Dr. Samantha Cormick.
Since her DNA profile was already developed,
we were able to save a couple of days.
So he dumps here and hunts in Charleston.
Tourist spot. Larger victim pool.
It's a 250-mile trip back here.
It's a lot of exposure.
Torture takes time and privacy,
and disarticulation is a mess.
You know, he could have
a mobile torture chamber
in his truck or trailer.
We've seen that before.
Or maybe he doesn't drive at all.
He could do it all from his boat.
Well, if he gets them on board
in Charleston and sails them out here,
he would have time for both.
And nobody would even notice a fisherman
tossing chum into the water.
Hello.
Garcia, we've got more information
about the unsub's boat.
It might help you narrow your list.
- Okay. Bring it.
- Can you give us boats with cabins
Large enough to hide a torture chamber?
Torture chamber? Because that would, yeah,
Totally be listed in the manufacturer's
specs of amenities.
Try cabin dimensions.
Start at 10 by 10 feet and cap it at 30.
That is totally gonna take forever
because I gotta go record by record.
You are lucky I love you. Bye.
We need to go back to the families
and see who else got a postcard.
This might finally be a link to victimology.
Sending goodbye postcards
as a ruse is a gamble.
Even if written under duress,
the victim could sneak
their own message into it.
I don't think this was written under duress.
You said Dr. Cormick wasn't taking
medication for Parkinson's, right?
Look at her handwriting.
No indication of tremors or shaking.
There's a drug called trilamide.
In minute doses it treats Parkinson's,
but its main use is for seasickness.
Something a fisherman
would have access to.
And criminals in South America.
Intel reports say they figured out
a high dose makes the victim
totally compliant.
Yeah, they slip it in your drink
or blow the powder in your face
and nasodermal absorption's
almost immediate.
You're instantaneously
susceptible to any suggestion.
There have been reports of locals
letting thugs into their apartments
to rob them, even helping
them load the getaway trucks.
Dad, please.
Don't listen to him.
Fight it.
Okay.
Understand?
Yes.
Good.
It's me.
It's James.
Choose one.
Good. That's gonna be the knife
you kill yourself with.
We got four more postcards.
Samantha makes five.
Any patterns geographically?
Geographically, each victim
was from a different state.
But they all went missing from Charleston?
Two of them did.
The other three were mailed from Miami.
He's bouncing between two cities?
You know, Miami makes a lot of sense.
It's a coastal town with a lot of tourists.
And by alternating hunting grounds,
he ensures that neither city
pays too much attention
to people going missing.
But why these five?
What connects them?
Right now it's just the postcards.
They may be the Rosetta Stone that we need.
You know, the victims write the postcards,
but the unsub dictates the message.
He might have revealed something
about himself through them.
Start a linguistic profile.
We need to sit down with the people
who got these postcards.
No, boats around here get handed down
from generation to generation.
So none of the locals would fish
in Charleston and Miami?
A guy like you're describing,
he starts bringing in
blackfin from Carolina
or kingfish from Miami, we'd notice.
Well, if you hear of anything
that might help,
please give us a call.
We need to rethink
how our unsub finds his victims.
These guys are loners.
Our guy isn't.
Yeah, our guy needs good social skills,
a boat that's inviting, recreational.
What if he runs a charter outfit?
Plenty of customers
in Charleston and Miami.
So he takes out a group,
but how does he pick his victim?
He starts with the passengers
that are traveling alone.
That lets him know they're vulnerable.
Harmless questions would tell him
who would miss them back at home.
And if they pay with a credit card,
he'd just tear up the transaction.
Then there's never any record
of them being on board.
Well, that might tell us how he's hunting.
The question is who?
- What brought your son to Miami?
- Work.
He kept saying this was it.
This is the fresh start he needed.
When did you start to get worried?
One week, maybe.
Why did it take you so long
to file a missing persons report?
I got this postcard,
and it's her handwriting.
I lived with this handwriting for four years.
I didn't think to question it.
So you'd say she was
a responsible person?
Come on, Rossi. Yes.
Next question.
Look, Derek, I know it's unpleasant.
But we're looking
at the risk level of all the victims,
even the potential ones.
Cindi didn't drink. She didn't do drugs.
She kept a steady job.
- And what about the stalker?
- What about him?
Did she sleep with him?
You know the answer to that.
Well, maybe you ought to rethink it.
Maybe you'll remember something.
They went on one date.
He got one good-night kiss.
But this was a classic
power-assertive stalker,
and I'd seen enough of these cases
to know how they end.
So you encouraged her to move.
Now, you never told me that.
Now, why did she go to Charleston?
I don't know.
I told her to pick a city
and not to tell anyone,
and that included me.
Well, let's think about it for a second.
Had she been there before?
Did she have friends there?
Maybe she just wanted
to be close to the ocean.
What?
4th of July, 1996.
The whole family was picnicking on the lake.
And all the kids ended up on paddle boats.
- And was Cindi on one of them?
- No.
No, that's what's weird.
She stayed on the shore the whole day.
Tell your son you abandoned him.
I didn't.
Do it.
Then why did you give up custody?
I couldn't afford the lawyers anymore.
It just got to the point
where I had to get on with my life.
But he wouldn't let you.
Would he?
Tell him you hate him.
- No.
- Do it!
Tell him exactly how you felt at that time.
I...
I just stopped loving you.
You have something
you want to say to your father?
Dad.
Please.
Stop stabbing yourself.
The unsub we're looking for
is a 30- to 40-year-old fisherman
currently chartering
his boat to tourists
trying to find a victim of medium risk.
What's medium risk?
Say your car breaks down
in a bad neighborhood.
Once you're outside
your normal routine,
there's a greater chance
for victimization.
Hence, medium risk.
Each of these victims
was trying to start over.
They were out of a relationship
or starting a new job,
But to this unsub, they were
abandoning their responsibilities.
We can tell this in the messages
that he forces them to write.
"It's too much."
"There's nothing for me here."
"It's better if I leave."
We believe this anger stems
from his first victim... his father.
Most likely a local fisherman,
definitely an alcoholic,
and based on this unsub's level of sadism,
violently abusive.
He's also the first person
to abandon the unsub.
Walked out on his family, maybe,
even wrote a postcard like this.
So the unsub picked a site
of significance to them both,
a spot known to local fisherman
that he turned into his prison.
But that's gone now,
so where will he head next?
Well, he can't go back to that spot,
but he won't leave Jacksonville, either.
That prison was his responsibility,
And without it,
he'll cling to what he knows.
He'll change his M.O.,
and that'll make him erratic.
He'll escalate his sadism,
and he'll kill uncontrollably
until he finds another spot in the ocean
to replace this one.
Thank you very much.
Aunt Yvonne.
He said you would need DNA.
I hated you when you left.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
So why did you even take me back?
James...
I couldn't live without you anymore.
And I won't let you go again, I promise.
Dad, what are we gonna do?
I'll figure it out.
I was right, wasn't I?
You found her body on the beach.
Actually, we're trying to rule her out.
I know you, Derek.
I know that look in your eye.
There is something, isn't there?
Auntie, I've been doing this job a long time.
The things I've seen...
I don't want to drag you into them.
Honey, I'm already in.
You don't have to protect me.
I need to find out about my Cindi.
All right.
One of the victims that we found
fits Cindi's general description.
I am not saying that it's her.
But if it is, something doesn't add up.
- I'm hoping you can help.
- That's why I'm here.
Was Cindi afraid of water?
No. She loved to swim.
It's just that one
of the 4th of July picnics,
I remember she wouldn't
get on the paddle boats.
Oh, well, boats were
a whole different story.
If Cindi as much as sat in a canoe,
she'd get violently seasick.
He's not finding his victims
through his boat?
If he tried to talk Cindi into a charter,
she wouldn't even stop.
His ruse doesn't fit her.
We don't know that she's victim number 5.
I still rushed her DNA to Quantico.
They're working on it for me.
But until we get a confirmation, we can't
make any assumptions based on her behavior.
I'm not saying that we
throw away the profile.
I'm just saying let's expand our thinking.
Magic 8-ball.
Garcia, we're looking into other ways
that the unsub might be finding his victims.
What are the victims' histories
in Charleston or Miami?
Of the five we've I.D.'d so far...
there isn't any.
Maybe he meets them in transit.
How did they get there?
Right. Right.
Okay.
Um, but there's nothing there, either.
But how is that possible?
These people are starting their lives over.
The whole point is to travel.
Even if they paid cash, Garcia,
there'd be a name on a ticket.
Yeah. No, I agree with you,
but my binary boxes are never wrong,
So however these folks
got from point A to point unsub,
there's no record of.
This guy's not abducting them
in Miami or Charleston.
He's grabbing them
while they're en route.
Clean it up!
Dad!
Dad!
Heh.
You know, if the unsub's
abducting in transit,
how can he cover it up?
I felt like we were close
with the charter idea.
Maybe he doesn't abduct them off a boat.
The details of his ruse were right.
What means of transportation
doesn't issue a ticket in advance?
Passenger trains.
A conductor can hand-write a ticket
once you're already on board.
Actually, most of the smaller
stations aren't even manned.
You have to buy tickets on board.
You know, the train is a concept
that attracts people
who are trying to start over.
The appeal of escape, of romance.
If he's a conductor,
he's in a target-rich environment.
My men pulled a body out of the water.
Agent Morgan's at the autopsy now.
The wounds on the thigh
show hesitation marks.
An unsub this experienced
wouldn't display that.
I don't think the unsub did.
The angle indicates
left-handed dominance.
The file says this guy
was left-handed, too.
You know, if he'd been given trilamide,
the unsub could have
forced him to cut himself.
It makes sense for a sadist
with abandonment issues,
but why didn't he finish the job?
The victim must have gotten
a chance to escape and took it.
But how? The trilamide kept him
compliant enough to hurt himself.
It overcame his self-preservation instinct.
Well, then another instinct
must have been stronger.
- Like what?
- A protective one.
This guy was mentally
and physically compromised,
but he still went after the unsub
with everything he had.
Who would he fight that hard for?
A child, Garcia.
Search nationwide
missing persons reports
for men traveling with their kids.
Am I looking for a son or daughter?
We don't know yet.
No, no, I'm sorry, honey. No dice.
Hey, what if they're not
reported as missing yet?
Yeah, of course not. When the unsub
met them, they were starting over.
All right, baby girl, new deal.
USPS change of address notices,
people moving into Florida
and South Carolina.
Done.
All right, eliminate women, wives, couples.
Narrow it down to men only.
So we're thinking divorced dad here, right?
Yeah, but not just any divorced dad.
This guy wants as much distance
between his son
and his ex-wife as possible.
So look for custody disputes,
injunctions, allegations.
The messier the better, Garcia.
I get you. I'll call you right back.
Take it.
Go ahead. Give it your best shot.
Like your father did.
Gut it.
Gut it!
I'm getting it now, baby girl.
That's our victim.
My beautiful SSA Derek Morgan,
you deserve a raise.
Gary Rhymer of Virginia
just got full custody
after his wife failed drug test number 3.
Who's the child?
His name is James.
He's 15. Enrolled to start school
next week in Mount Pleasant,
which is east of Charleston.
Looks like Gary has a sister there.
How about how they're traveling?
No. Sorry, babe,
there's no record of that.
Just like the others.
Thanks, doll.
None of the family members
could confirm a train line for us.
So what do we do,
we just rule it out?
No. There's one person we haven't asked.
- Who?
- Your aunt.
The train?
Did she ever mention it?
No. She never told us anything.
You said it was safer that way.
You know,
when your Uncle Paul was still alive,
he took the train to Myrtle Beach.
Really? What was the line?
The Silver Star.
Cindi visited him once.
- By train?
- Yes.
Auntie, that's a 36-hour-trip.
How old was she?
10.
Sometimes we want something so bad
that our minds will invent details.
- But...
- No, listen to me, please.
I want to find Cindi for you.
Believe me, I do.
But right now he has someone else's child,
Someone we can still save.
We can't afford to be wrong.
I'm sorry. I was just trying to help.
I know. I know. That's okay.
Try to remember.
Did she visit him?
Yes.
But she flew.
I remembered all the paperwork
I had to fill out.
She was an unaccompanied minor.
James took the train
three summers in a row
during his parents' divorce.
His aunt from South Carolina
bought the tickets,
filled out the unaccompanied
minor paperwork,
which is why it didn't
show up in my search.
What's the train line?
Surf Rider. It makes stops
in Jacksonville,
Charleston, and Miami.
Cross-reference your list of boat owners
with railroad employees.
I got a hit on a last name.
Chuck Wells, local fisherman,
son Blake,
conductor on the line.
And there it is.
He didn't show up for work this week.
Is there a current address?
No. Only a boat in the dad's name,
which moved to Norfolk in 2000
when the mom was diagnosed
with breast cancer.
She died a few months later.
Dad walked out, and the unsub
had to punish him for that.
James doesn't fit the victimology.
It doesn't make sense
the unsub would take him.
He picked up on a father-son relationship
that reminded him of his own.
What he didn't count on
was Gary fighting for James' life.
How do we know the unsub
hasn't already killed James?
So far he's only punished people
who've abandoned
their responsibilities.
But that's exactly what James is
to him now, a responsibility.
The unsub's gonna get angrier
and angrier at that kid,
and when he does, he's gonna
become more like his father.
I was just about your age
when I started working here.
14 hours a day, every day.
That son of a bitch
said I had to earn my keep.
And then he'd beat me,
he'd take my paycheck,
and he'd drink it away!
Get up.
Garcia narrowed the unsub's history
with his dad down to two locations.
Seaside Pier, which is where
Chuck Wells used to dock his boat.
All the locals do.
It's the cheapest spot to tie off.
She also mentioned a cannery
on St. John's River.
That place went out of business last year.
It's abandoned.
The dad brought his catch there
while the unsub worked the floor.
Started at 16, which is roughly
the same age as James.
All right, we'll split up.
Morgan, you take one SWAT team
and go to the cannery.
Detective Foreman and I will take the other,
- and we'll go to the docks.
- Okay.
We can be in both locations
in five minutes.
One day I was late for work,
and my dad broke my arm.
And he told me to keep gutting.
And I cut and I cut till I passed out.
Now gut the fish.
Yeah.
Morgan, he's not here.
I think you've got him.
I see the boat, Hotch. Let's go.
No. I won't do it.
Pick up the knife.
Or what?
You gonna break my arm?
No.
I'm gonna slice your throat.
Blake! FBI!
Stand down! Stand down!
Do not shoot!
Everybody stand down.
Drop it. Drop the knife.
Stand back. Stand back!
Okay. Okay.
I'm gonna put this away, all right?
I just want to talk to you.
Come on, man.
Look at James. He's just a kid.
Blake, you don't hurt kids.
You're not that guy.
You have no idea who I am.
I know that you're a smart man.
You had a long run at killing
under the radar.
But I also know that we can learn a lot
from a man like you.
See, studying men like you
is my responsibility.
And I'm telling you, if you let James go,
we can be a part of your life.
We won't abandon you, Blake.
What makes you think
I want to teach you?
Look at your alternative, man.
My guys are ready.
They will take the shot,
and they will kill you.
What happens after that, Blake?
Do you really think you're gonna
get to see your mom again?
Or maybe it'll just be cold...
dark, empty...
like the water where you put your dad.
It's your choice, man.
Get him out of here.
Take him.
All right, Blake, here's how it works.
We verify every word you say
against forensics and records.
You lie to me, deal's off.
What do you want to know?
Let's start with how you
abducted these victims.
Carol Reed.
Oh, I could smell the fear on her.
Oh, she promised me she would do
anything if I'd let her live.
Your method of abduction?
She was easy.
She was a meth addict.
I just told her I was holding.
Alton McKee.
I caught him off guard.
He was running away
from his nagging wife.
He couldn't stop
calling her a bitch.
You're really enjoying yourself,
aren't you?
You making up for your loss?
What loss is that?
Well, it must have really
gotten under your skin
That they stumbled
onto your perfect little hiding place.
Not really.
How do you know I don't have
a dozen more just like it?
It's a big sea.
No.
Blake, it's the same place
where you dumped your own father.
He was the most important one,
so you had to come back here
and dump the other bodies.
I didn't dump her there, did I?
She means something
to you, doesn't she?
They're all special to me, Blake.
If you can't remember her,
we can just move on.
I do remember her.
You want to know, Agent Morgan,
who she cried out for right before
I made her slice her own throat?
Go ahead. Tell me.
You.
She cried out for you.
Where were you...
when she bled out
on the floor of my boat?
You are a sick son of a bitch.
But you didn't kill her.
I did kill her.
No. You didn't.
And I was very clear about the rules.
Deal's off.
I did kill her. You said you wanted
to learn from me,
and now you won't listen!
Hey, come back here!
Agent Morgan!
I did kill her!
How did you know?
He knows his victims' names.
He didn't know Cindi's.
Agent Morgan, you get back here!
Agent Morgan!
Did you find her?
No, Auntie.
I'm never gonna know, am I?
He picked out her picture.
He did?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We are tied to the ocean,
and when we go back to the sea,
whether it is to sail or to watch,
we are going back
from whence we came.
John F. Kennedy.
with the pump?
Negative. The pump is fine.
Stand by. Let me check
the pressure.
Good. It's all good.
- All right. Something must be blocking it.
- Boo!
Christ, man!
Kill the pump! Kill the pump!
Kill the pump! Kill the pump!
You gotta help me, man!
Come on!
The barge moves
up and down the coast,
repairing beaches
from weather damage.
And how deep is the water
that this sand's coming from?
About 100 meters.
The pump spews out
all kinds of stuff from the ocean floor.
And you do this every year?
First time in Jacksonville.
We just moved the barge here
three days ago.
Thousands of miles of open water,
and blind luck uncovers
an unsub's graveyard.
I had them stop the pump
once I realized what this was.
We're going to need you
to turn the pump back on.
If we don't keep digging,
we're not gonna know how many bodies
there are down there.
What'd you find?
A scary math problem.
I just finished doing my Jacksonville
missing persons sweep.
There are six unresolved cases,
three of which are kids,
And you have nine adult bodies.
Then he's not hunting here.
Widen your search.
Yeah, I will do that.
Just remember,
It is difficult to I.D. Match
a thigh bone or coccyx.
- Agent Hotchner.
- Yes, sir.
Detective Foreman. Call me J.T.
Not the most cushy arrangement,
but it'll keep your team
close to the crime scene for now.
- Thank you for setting it up.
- Of course.
This will help us preserve what we can.
Excuse me.
Yeah, I'm back.
You know, based on the parasites
on the most recent kill,
the unsub killed
as recently as a month ago,
which means he's still active.
How did you establish
a timeline so quickly?
By reverse engineering Mother Nature.
Each year, sand and sediment
cover up the remains,
creating layers on the ocean floor.
That makes sense.
The deeper the pump dug,
the older the remains.
Nine victims in nine years means
that he's in control of his urges.
- Any sense of the victimology?
- Only that he likes variety.
Pelvic bone width indicates
that he kills both men and woman,
and skull structure says
he crosses racial lines as well.
Agent Hotchner, excuse me.
We found three more remains.
If he's been dumping this long,
it's not just out of convenience.
There's got to be
an emotional tie as well.
He'll change his M.O.
Because he has to,
but he won't be happy about it.
Then he'll have the entire
Atlantic to choose from.
Help!
Help!
Help!
The sea has never
been friendly to man.
At most, it has been the accomplice
of human restlessness.
Joseph Conrad.
You know, that site is known
for record catches of yellowmouth,
so the unsub was smart enough
to dump during the off season
and avoid fishermen.
Then he's a local.
I'm afraid to ask.
Could this be one of my guys?
We run interdiction exercises
around that spot.
No, it's most likely another fisherman.
Well, how could you know?
Come here, I'll show you.
See, he disarticulates
the bodies at the joints.
It helps them sink.
Now, that's a skill that only
an experienced butcher
or fisherman would have.
The bone nicks indicate
this guy inflicted
a lot of pain on his victims,
which means he's a sadist.
Wow.
Excuse me.
Enchantress of all things possible.
Use your imagination.
Can you enchant me
with a list of boat owners in Jacksonville?
You know I can, baby.
Okay, in Duvall County,
we're looking at 31,047
registered boats.
Well, limit that to the boats
that can only be operated
by one person.
Okay, I'm gonna need
a lot more than this to do that.
It's still looking like a list
That makes War and Peace
read like a comic book.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
I'll keep you posted.
Aye aye, captain.
Why wouldn't you be okay?
It's just in cases like these
where there's only pieces, it's tough.
The best we can do is catalog them
and wait for the unsub
to screw up somewhere else.
You think he's moved on?
If he's smart he has.
And so far, this guy
seems very smart.
Have you nailed down
the victimology?
I found a unique evolution, actually.
The earliest victims appear to be high-risk.
These lesions are
consistent with syphilis,
most likely a prostitute.
This one has severely
ground and missing teeth,
commonly seen in excessive
methamphetamine abuse.
And then all of a sudden
out of nowhere,
a sea change...
Healthier and stronger victims
all the way through to number 12.
Lower-risk, harder for him to hunt.
What do we know about the first victim?
You know, that one's tough.
He or she has been in the water so long,
they're mostly bone fragments.
I can attempt to reconstruct...
You've got three hours.
I can do it in two.
Make it one.
How much has gotten out?
Can't tell. Some of these
news crews are national.
If the unsub doesn't know
we found his graveyard yet,
he will soon.
Then we'll hear from everyone
who's ever filed
a missing persons report.
Maybe we can use this
to our advantage.
I could talk to them.
It might feed his ego,
Take the sting out of him losing his site.
It could keep him in the area.
Good.
At this moment it would be
premature to comment
on the details of the case.
Our goal is to identify the recovered
remains as quickly as possible
for the families involved.
In order to expedite that,
we're asking that the families or friends
of people who went missing
from the east coast of the United States
since the year 2000 come forward.
We'll be matching DNA to the remains,
And it will be helpful for us
to have a personal item
from each of the missing persons.
An article of clothing, a hairbrush,
a blanket, a pillowcase,
photographs or medical
or dental records if you have them.
We're also looking for items of significance
to help us determine
the last known whereabouts
of each of the victims.
Correspondence
like letters or emails will be helpful.
Morgan was telling me
how difficult these cases can be.
Who did he lose?
Aunt Yvonne, how you doing?
Derek, is my baby girl on that beach?
We've talked about this.
There's no reason to think
she'd be down here.
She went missing seven years ago
and from Charleston.
That's east coast,
just like your boss said.
Come on now, Auntie.
We both know what happened to Cindi.
Somehow you're just gonna
have to learn to accept it.
I'll stay in touch.
Okay. Thank you, Derek.
Some years back,
Morgan's cousin fled a stalker.
She made it to South Carolina.
She was never seen
or heard from again.
Was it the stalker?
He killed himself two weeks later,
so we never found out for sure.
But Morgan's profile led straight to him.
So whenever unidentified
female remains turn up,
he gets that call.
Why are you doing this?
Come on, man.
Come on, man, talk to me.
No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Listen! Not again.
Why are you doing this?
Son of a bitch!
Alex Cottle,
Beth Riley, Louise Jones,
come with me, please.
We were working on a gene therapy
project at Johns Hopkins
when Samantha got the news.
Parkinson's.
- That must have been pretty rough on her.
- I was her best friend,
and all I ever got was this postcard.
"Weze, I'm not going back to school.
There's nothing there for me.
I need to find myself.
Love, Sammy."
Does this sound like her to you?
Not really, no.
She would have written
a 12-page letter.
But she addressed it to "Weze."
She's the only one who called me that.
I'd like to keep this if that's all right?
It may be evidence.
I...
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Did you happen to bring anything of hers
that we could get DNA from?
Well, everyone on the project
mapped their DNA into the database.
I'll need that information.
You know, on this first victim,
the more I work on this skeleton,
the more I question its condition.
The ocean floor preserved
the other remains remarkably well.
I think something else caused this.
Could this be the age of these bones
as opposed to the others?
Well, he's significantly older.
Arthritis in the joints
puts him in his late 50s,
but that doesn't account
for this degree of breakdown.
In fact, nothing in the ocean would.
If the unsub's responsible,
maybe he didn't disarticulate this victim
but he tore him apart instead.
And look at this.
This bone has a defensive wound,
like he held it up
before the blow came down.
I think the bone-smashing occurred
while the victim was still alive.
Overkill.
He worked out a lot
of aggression on this victim.
He didn't do that with the others.
That would indicate a personal relationship.
- Father?
- That would be my guess and not a good one,
based on the low calcium levels
consistent with alcoholism.
Think it's time to rethink Cindi?
Rossi, the only connection
right now is Charleston.
It's weak.
Victim number 5
is an African-American woman in her 20s
who died in 2004.
That's not weak.
My aunt has spent years
obsessing over Cindi's last few hours.
She doesn't go out.
She doesn't sleep.
She forgets to take her medication.
It's killing her, Rossi.
It hasn't been easy for you, either.
But everything I've learned
as a profiler has taught me
that it's not about what I want to be true.
It's about what I can prove.
So I can't go there.
We got a match.
Meet our first confirmed victim,
Dr. Samantha Cormick.
Since her DNA profile was already developed,
we were able to save a couple of days.
So he dumps here and hunts in Charleston.
Tourist spot. Larger victim pool.
It's a 250-mile trip back here.
It's a lot of exposure.
Torture takes time and privacy,
and disarticulation is a mess.
You know, he could have
a mobile torture chamber
in his truck or trailer.
We've seen that before.
Or maybe he doesn't drive at all.
He could do it all from his boat.
Well, if he gets them on board
in Charleston and sails them out here,
he would have time for both.
And nobody would even notice a fisherman
tossing chum into the water.
Hello.
Garcia, we've got more information
about the unsub's boat.
It might help you narrow your list.
- Okay. Bring it.
- Can you give us boats with cabins
Large enough to hide a torture chamber?
Torture chamber? Because that would, yeah,
Totally be listed in the manufacturer's
specs of amenities.
Try cabin dimensions.
Start at 10 by 10 feet and cap it at 30.
That is totally gonna take forever
because I gotta go record by record.
You are lucky I love you. Bye.
We need to go back to the families
and see who else got a postcard.
This might finally be a link to victimology.
Sending goodbye postcards
as a ruse is a gamble.
Even if written under duress,
the victim could sneak
their own message into it.
I don't think this was written under duress.
You said Dr. Cormick wasn't taking
medication for Parkinson's, right?
Look at her handwriting.
No indication of tremors or shaking.
There's a drug called trilamide.
In minute doses it treats Parkinson's,
but its main use is for seasickness.
Something a fisherman
would have access to.
And criminals in South America.
Intel reports say they figured out
a high dose makes the victim
totally compliant.
Yeah, they slip it in your drink
or blow the powder in your face
and nasodermal absorption's
almost immediate.
You're instantaneously
susceptible to any suggestion.
There have been reports of locals
letting thugs into their apartments
to rob them, even helping
them load the getaway trucks.
Dad, please.
Don't listen to him.
Fight it.
Okay.
Understand?
Yes.
Good.
It's me.
It's James.
Choose one.
Good. That's gonna be the knife
you kill yourself with.
We got four more postcards.
Samantha makes five.
Any patterns geographically?
Geographically, each victim
was from a different state.
But they all went missing from Charleston?
Two of them did.
The other three were mailed from Miami.
He's bouncing between two cities?
You know, Miami makes a lot of sense.
It's a coastal town with a lot of tourists.
And by alternating hunting grounds,
he ensures that neither city
pays too much attention
to people going missing.
But why these five?
What connects them?
Right now it's just the postcards.
They may be the Rosetta Stone that we need.
You know, the victims write the postcards,
but the unsub dictates the message.
He might have revealed something
about himself through them.
Start a linguistic profile.
We need to sit down with the people
who got these postcards.
No, boats around here get handed down
from generation to generation.
So none of the locals would fish
in Charleston and Miami?
A guy like you're describing,
he starts bringing in
blackfin from Carolina
or kingfish from Miami, we'd notice.
Well, if you hear of anything
that might help,
please give us a call.
We need to rethink
how our unsub finds his victims.
These guys are loners.
Our guy isn't.
Yeah, our guy needs good social skills,
a boat that's inviting, recreational.
What if he runs a charter outfit?
Plenty of customers
in Charleston and Miami.
So he takes out a group,
but how does he pick his victim?
He starts with the passengers
that are traveling alone.
That lets him know they're vulnerable.
Harmless questions would tell him
who would miss them back at home.
And if they pay with a credit card,
he'd just tear up the transaction.
Then there's never any record
of them being on board.
Well, that might tell us how he's hunting.
The question is who?
- What brought your son to Miami?
- Work.
He kept saying this was it.
This is the fresh start he needed.
When did you start to get worried?
One week, maybe.
Why did it take you so long
to file a missing persons report?
I got this postcard,
and it's her handwriting.
I lived with this handwriting for four years.
I didn't think to question it.
So you'd say she was
a responsible person?
Come on, Rossi. Yes.
Next question.
Look, Derek, I know it's unpleasant.
But we're looking
at the risk level of all the victims,
even the potential ones.
Cindi didn't drink. She didn't do drugs.
She kept a steady job.
- And what about the stalker?
- What about him?
Did she sleep with him?
You know the answer to that.
Well, maybe you ought to rethink it.
Maybe you'll remember something.
They went on one date.
He got one good-night kiss.
But this was a classic
power-assertive stalker,
and I'd seen enough of these cases
to know how they end.
So you encouraged her to move.
Now, you never told me that.
Now, why did she go to Charleston?
I don't know.
I told her to pick a city
and not to tell anyone,
and that included me.
Well, let's think about it for a second.
Had she been there before?
Did she have friends there?
Maybe she just wanted
to be close to the ocean.
What?
4th of July, 1996.
The whole family was picnicking on the lake.
And all the kids ended up on paddle boats.
- And was Cindi on one of them?
- No.
No, that's what's weird.
She stayed on the shore the whole day.
Tell your son you abandoned him.
I didn't.
Do it.
Then why did you give up custody?
I couldn't afford the lawyers anymore.
It just got to the point
where I had to get on with my life.
But he wouldn't let you.
Would he?
Tell him you hate him.
- No.
- Do it!
Tell him exactly how you felt at that time.
I...
I just stopped loving you.
You have something
you want to say to your father?
Dad.
Please.
Stop stabbing yourself.
The unsub we're looking for
is a 30- to 40-year-old fisherman
currently chartering
his boat to tourists
trying to find a victim of medium risk.
What's medium risk?
Say your car breaks down
in a bad neighborhood.
Once you're outside
your normal routine,
there's a greater chance
for victimization.
Hence, medium risk.
Each of these victims
was trying to start over.
They were out of a relationship
or starting a new job,
But to this unsub, they were
abandoning their responsibilities.
We can tell this in the messages
that he forces them to write.
"It's too much."
"There's nothing for me here."
"It's better if I leave."
We believe this anger stems
from his first victim... his father.
Most likely a local fisherman,
definitely an alcoholic,
and based on this unsub's level of sadism,
violently abusive.
He's also the first person
to abandon the unsub.
Walked out on his family, maybe,
even wrote a postcard like this.
So the unsub picked a site
of significance to them both,
a spot known to local fisherman
that he turned into his prison.
But that's gone now,
so where will he head next?
Well, he can't go back to that spot,
but he won't leave Jacksonville, either.
That prison was his responsibility,
And without it,
he'll cling to what he knows.
He'll change his M.O.,
and that'll make him erratic.
He'll escalate his sadism,
and he'll kill uncontrollably
until he finds another spot in the ocean
to replace this one.
Thank you very much.
Aunt Yvonne.
He said you would need DNA.
I hated you when you left.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
So why did you even take me back?
James...
I couldn't live without you anymore.
And I won't let you go again, I promise.
Dad, what are we gonna do?
I'll figure it out.
I was right, wasn't I?
You found her body on the beach.
Actually, we're trying to rule her out.
I know you, Derek.
I know that look in your eye.
There is something, isn't there?
Auntie, I've been doing this job a long time.
The things I've seen...
I don't want to drag you into them.
Honey, I'm already in.
You don't have to protect me.
I need to find out about my Cindi.
All right.
One of the victims that we found
fits Cindi's general description.
I am not saying that it's her.
But if it is, something doesn't add up.
- I'm hoping you can help.
- That's why I'm here.
Was Cindi afraid of water?
No. She loved to swim.
It's just that one
of the 4th of July picnics,
I remember she wouldn't
get on the paddle boats.
Oh, well, boats were
a whole different story.
If Cindi as much as sat in a canoe,
she'd get violently seasick.
He's not finding his victims
through his boat?
If he tried to talk Cindi into a charter,
she wouldn't even stop.
His ruse doesn't fit her.
We don't know that she's victim number 5.
I still rushed her DNA to Quantico.
They're working on it for me.
But until we get a confirmation, we can't
make any assumptions based on her behavior.
I'm not saying that we
throw away the profile.
I'm just saying let's expand our thinking.
Magic 8-ball.
Garcia, we're looking into other ways
that the unsub might be finding his victims.
What are the victims' histories
in Charleston or Miami?
Of the five we've I.D.'d so far...
there isn't any.
Maybe he meets them in transit.
How did they get there?
Right. Right.
Okay.
Um, but there's nothing there, either.
But how is that possible?
These people are starting their lives over.
The whole point is to travel.
Even if they paid cash, Garcia,
there'd be a name on a ticket.
Yeah. No, I agree with you,
but my binary boxes are never wrong,
So however these folks
got from point A to point unsub,
there's no record of.
This guy's not abducting them
in Miami or Charleston.
He's grabbing them
while they're en route.
Clean it up!
Dad!
Dad!
Heh.
You know, if the unsub's
abducting in transit,
how can he cover it up?
I felt like we were close
with the charter idea.
Maybe he doesn't abduct them off a boat.
The details of his ruse were right.
What means of transportation
doesn't issue a ticket in advance?
Passenger trains.
A conductor can hand-write a ticket
once you're already on board.
Actually, most of the smaller
stations aren't even manned.
You have to buy tickets on board.
You know, the train is a concept
that attracts people
who are trying to start over.
The appeal of escape, of romance.
If he's a conductor,
he's in a target-rich environment.
My men pulled a body out of the water.
Agent Morgan's at the autopsy now.
The wounds on the thigh
show hesitation marks.
An unsub this experienced
wouldn't display that.
I don't think the unsub did.
The angle indicates
left-handed dominance.
The file says this guy
was left-handed, too.
You know, if he'd been given trilamide,
the unsub could have
forced him to cut himself.
It makes sense for a sadist
with abandonment issues,
but why didn't he finish the job?
The victim must have gotten
a chance to escape and took it.
But how? The trilamide kept him
compliant enough to hurt himself.
It overcame his self-preservation instinct.
Well, then another instinct
must have been stronger.
- Like what?
- A protective one.
This guy was mentally
and physically compromised,
but he still went after the unsub
with everything he had.
Who would he fight that hard for?
A child, Garcia.
Search nationwide
missing persons reports
for men traveling with their kids.
Am I looking for a son or daughter?
We don't know yet.
No, no, I'm sorry, honey. No dice.
Hey, what if they're not
reported as missing yet?
Yeah, of course not. When the unsub
met them, they were starting over.
All right, baby girl, new deal.
USPS change of address notices,
people moving into Florida
and South Carolina.
Done.
All right, eliminate women, wives, couples.
Narrow it down to men only.
So we're thinking divorced dad here, right?
Yeah, but not just any divorced dad.
This guy wants as much distance
between his son
and his ex-wife as possible.
So look for custody disputes,
injunctions, allegations.
The messier the better, Garcia.
I get you. I'll call you right back.
Take it.
Go ahead. Give it your best shot.
Like your father did.
Gut it.
Gut it!
I'm getting it now, baby girl.
That's our victim.
My beautiful SSA Derek Morgan,
you deserve a raise.
Gary Rhymer of Virginia
just got full custody
after his wife failed drug test number 3.
Who's the child?
His name is James.
He's 15. Enrolled to start school
next week in Mount Pleasant,
which is east of Charleston.
Looks like Gary has a sister there.
How about how they're traveling?
No. Sorry, babe,
there's no record of that.
Just like the others.
Thanks, doll.
None of the family members
could confirm a train line for us.
So what do we do,
we just rule it out?
No. There's one person we haven't asked.
- Who?
- Your aunt.
The train?
Did she ever mention it?
No. She never told us anything.
You said it was safer that way.
You know,
when your Uncle Paul was still alive,
he took the train to Myrtle Beach.
Really? What was the line?
The Silver Star.
Cindi visited him once.
- By train?
- Yes.
Auntie, that's a 36-hour-trip.
How old was she?
10.
Sometimes we want something so bad
that our minds will invent details.
- But...
- No, listen to me, please.
I want to find Cindi for you.
Believe me, I do.
But right now he has someone else's child,
Someone we can still save.
We can't afford to be wrong.
I'm sorry. I was just trying to help.
I know. I know. That's okay.
Try to remember.
Did she visit him?
Yes.
But she flew.
I remembered all the paperwork
I had to fill out.
She was an unaccompanied minor.
James took the train
three summers in a row
during his parents' divorce.
His aunt from South Carolina
bought the tickets,
filled out the unaccompanied
minor paperwork,
which is why it didn't
show up in my search.
What's the train line?
Surf Rider. It makes stops
in Jacksonville,
Charleston, and Miami.
Cross-reference your list of boat owners
with railroad employees.
I got a hit on a last name.
Chuck Wells, local fisherman,
son Blake,
conductor on the line.
And there it is.
He didn't show up for work this week.
Is there a current address?
No. Only a boat in the dad's name,
which moved to Norfolk in 2000
when the mom was diagnosed
with breast cancer.
She died a few months later.
Dad walked out, and the unsub
had to punish him for that.
James doesn't fit the victimology.
It doesn't make sense
the unsub would take him.
He picked up on a father-son relationship
that reminded him of his own.
What he didn't count on
was Gary fighting for James' life.
How do we know the unsub
hasn't already killed James?
So far he's only punished people
who've abandoned
their responsibilities.
But that's exactly what James is
to him now, a responsibility.
The unsub's gonna get angrier
and angrier at that kid,
and when he does, he's gonna
become more like his father.
I was just about your age
when I started working here.
14 hours a day, every day.
That son of a bitch
said I had to earn my keep.
And then he'd beat me,
he'd take my paycheck,
and he'd drink it away!
Get up.
Garcia narrowed the unsub's history
with his dad down to two locations.
Seaside Pier, which is where
Chuck Wells used to dock his boat.
All the locals do.
It's the cheapest spot to tie off.
She also mentioned a cannery
on St. John's River.
That place went out of business last year.
It's abandoned.
The dad brought his catch there
while the unsub worked the floor.
Started at 16, which is roughly
the same age as James.
All right, we'll split up.
Morgan, you take one SWAT team
and go to the cannery.
Detective Foreman and I will take the other,
- and we'll go to the docks.
- Okay.
We can be in both locations
in five minutes.
One day I was late for work,
and my dad broke my arm.
And he told me to keep gutting.
And I cut and I cut till I passed out.
Now gut the fish.
Yeah.
Morgan, he's not here.
I think you've got him.
I see the boat, Hotch. Let's go.
No. I won't do it.
Pick up the knife.
Or what?
You gonna break my arm?
No.
I'm gonna slice your throat.
Blake! FBI!
Stand down! Stand down!
Do not shoot!
Everybody stand down.
Drop it. Drop the knife.
Stand back. Stand back!
Okay. Okay.
I'm gonna put this away, all right?
I just want to talk to you.
Come on, man.
Look at James. He's just a kid.
Blake, you don't hurt kids.
You're not that guy.
You have no idea who I am.
I know that you're a smart man.
You had a long run at killing
under the radar.
But I also know that we can learn a lot
from a man like you.
See, studying men like you
is my responsibility.
And I'm telling you, if you let James go,
we can be a part of your life.
We won't abandon you, Blake.
What makes you think
I want to teach you?
Look at your alternative, man.
My guys are ready.
They will take the shot,
and they will kill you.
What happens after that, Blake?
Do you really think you're gonna
get to see your mom again?
Or maybe it'll just be cold...
dark, empty...
like the water where you put your dad.
It's your choice, man.
Get him out of here.
Take him.
All right, Blake, here's how it works.
We verify every word you say
against forensics and records.
You lie to me, deal's off.
What do you want to know?
Let's start with how you
abducted these victims.
Carol Reed.
Oh, I could smell the fear on her.
Oh, she promised me she would do
anything if I'd let her live.
Your method of abduction?
She was easy.
She was a meth addict.
I just told her I was holding.
Alton McKee.
I caught him off guard.
He was running away
from his nagging wife.
He couldn't stop
calling her a bitch.
You're really enjoying yourself,
aren't you?
You making up for your loss?
What loss is that?
Well, it must have really
gotten under your skin
That they stumbled
onto your perfect little hiding place.
Not really.
How do you know I don't have
a dozen more just like it?
It's a big sea.
No.
Blake, it's the same place
where you dumped your own father.
He was the most important one,
so you had to come back here
and dump the other bodies.
I didn't dump her there, did I?
She means something
to you, doesn't she?
They're all special to me, Blake.
If you can't remember her,
we can just move on.
I do remember her.
You want to know, Agent Morgan,
who she cried out for right before
I made her slice her own throat?
Go ahead. Tell me.
You.
She cried out for you.
Where were you...
when she bled out
on the floor of my boat?
You are a sick son of a bitch.
But you didn't kill her.
I did kill her.
No. You didn't.
And I was very clear about the rules.
Deal's off.
I did kill her. You said you wanted
to learn from me,
and now you won't listen!
Hey, come back here!
Agent Morgan!
I did kill her!
How did you know?
He knows his victims' names.
He didn't know Cindi's.
Agent Morgan, you get back here!
Agent Morgan!
Did you find her?
No, Auntie.
I'm never gonna know, am I?
He picked out her picture.
He did?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We are tied to the ocean,
and when we go back to the sea,
whether it is to sail or to watch,
we are going back
from whence we came.
