Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 7, Episode 17 - I Love You, Tommy Brown - full transcript
The BAU is called to Seattle, Washington, where two couples have been murdered execution style in their respective homes. There is no sign of forced entry in either case, there was no sexual assault, and the gunshot wounds were muffled by the use of a pillow. By the time the team reaches Seattle, a third couple has been murdered with the same MO. Each couple were upstanding citizens and community minded. The team learns that a common link between all three is that each belonged to the emergency foster parent list. The team surmises that the female unsub has access to that foster parent list, and has either lost a child herself or is infertile and wants a child. They also surmise that she is killing in lieu of a child not being in the home at the time of entry into the home. But when the team learns that the same child was recently in each home, they know that the unsub is the birth mother. When they find out her identity, they learn that her mission is not one solely of getting back the child but also the baby's father. Meanwhile, Garcia notices that Kevin and Morgan are having a clandestine conversation, which worries her because the two never talk to each other, nor will they disclose the nature of their conversation. Garcia believes the worse, which to most others would be the best.
Woman: Everyone says
that love happens
when you least expect it.
I guess it's true,
because when I met you,
love was the last thing
on my mind.
I'd find myself
sneaking out to see you.
I'd put fancy makeup on
just to make you smile.
I still feel the touch
of your skin.
You help me get through
every night.
You give my life purpose.
That's why no matter
people try to do...
Nothing is going
keep us apart.
[Sprinklers turn on]
Aah! Ha ha!
[Both laughing]
[Horn honking,
tires screeching]
[Gunshot, scream]
[Gunshot]
Just the guy
I'm looking for.
Hey, what's up, Kevin?
Can we have...A talk?
Is Penelope ok?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's perfect.
In fact,
that's why I'm here.
I know you're Penelope's
boo and she's your baby girl.
And what I'm about to embark
on involves the keen insight
of somebody who knows
her inside and out.
And no matter how much
therapy I've gone through trying
to understand your relationship,
I know you're that person.
Ok, Kevin--
land your plane.
I want to propose to Penelope,
and I need your help.
[Elevator bell dings,
door opens]
Please, I'm not asking
for your blessing,
I'm asking
for your advice.
Ok, should I do it
over a couple tacos
and a nice can
of Red Bull?
All right. Should I
take her to New York
and do it at
the Statue of Liberty?
Maybe I should serenade her
at the roundtable
right before you guys
present a case.
No, actually,
that may not work,
given the gruesome
nature of your job.
Oh, how about
the high tech room,
and I pop up
on the HD mainframe?
Kevin, seriously, I got
a meeting I gotta get to.
Derek, please. Come on, bro,
this is important.
Um, hi, yeah,
what was that about?
Oh. You know,
he just wanted to talk.
About what?
Just guy stuff.
Me?
I didn't say that.
Garcia, I'd like
to get started.
Oh. Yes, sorry. Uh,
two couples were found
shot, uh, to death
in the Delridge neighborhood
of Seattle, Washington.
The first was Mark Daniels
and Ben Priestly.
They were found dead
in their living room.
The second was John
and Heather Miller.
They lived 4 miles away,
and they were found last
night dead in their home.
Their daughter
found them?
Yeah. She had snuck out
to see her boyfriend.
When she got back,
they were dead.
Two double homicides
must be rare in that area.
What makes it weirder
is that there was no sign
of robbery or sexual assault.
The shooter used a .22.
Shot them
execution style.
He's experienced to use
a pillow as a silencer.
You don't want to wake
the neighbors.
You know, these crimes
seem to lack the emotionality
that we typically see
in personal cause homicides.
Most executions are
criminal enterprise related.
The probability of these couples
being involved
in the exact same
illegal activity is kind of low.
There's no way these were
random victims of opportunity.
Garcia, any sign
of forced entry?
None that the authorities
have found, no.
So it's a home invasion.
Or our unsub is using
some kind of ruse.
Either way, they're
calculating and dispassionate.
And no appreciation
for chenille throw pillows.
The violent and targeted
nature of these crimes
suggests that
there could be more.
Wheels up in 30.
Woman: When people look back
and talk about us,
they're gonna say
what I did was right.
That we were ahead of our time,
we were pioneers.
I get to pick the movie
next time.
[Laughing]
Well, it's better than the last
3D thing we saw at the IMAX.
Come on, Gayle.
You look cute in those glasses.
Am I any less cute
when I have a migraine?
Brian?
Who are you?
What do you want?
Please don't hurt us.
There's money
and jewelry upstairs.
Woman: And when they
ask me why I did it...
I'll tell them the truth.
It's because I love you...
Aah! [Sobbing]
I love you, Tommy Brown.

♪
Morgan: It was once said
that love is giving someone
the ability to destroy you
but trusting them not to.
All right, let's go over
victimology.
Each of the victims
is a professional.
Rossi: The domestic partners were
lawyers, and the Millers worked
at a tech company.
But P.D. couldn't find
any overlap.
Both couples were really
enjoyed by their peers,
neighborhood watch,
volunteered in community
groups, you name it.
This was a straight-up
execution.
Kneeling on the ground,
placing a pillow behind the head.
It seems ritualistic.
Rossi: Or they're simply
taking precautions.
Some of the vics
were shot in the leg.
They probably were trying
to defend themselves,
and this was the only way our
unsub could get them to the floor.
Well, the scene's
pretty clean,
except what's left
on the floor and the pillows.
Garcia, how are
each of the couples' financials?
Yo, I wish mine
were this good.
What about the Millers'
daughter Abby?
She sneaks out
to see her boyfriend?
That's kind of convenient.
The P.D. confirms her story.
A neighbor saw her kissing
her boyfriend in his backyard
during the time
of the kills.
You guys, something
just happened.
Another couple,
the same area,
shot to death
in their house.
This is turning into
a spree.
Targeting potentially
unrelated couples.
And the time between
the murders is accelerating.
Prentiss, you and JJ
go talk to Abby.
Dave and I will go to
the first crime scene.
Morgan and Reid,
you go to the new one.
I mean, we get
our occasional DWI,
a few kids egging
a house on Halloween.
But people shot like this...
It looks like one of
those cable shows.
Again, there's no sign
of break-in.
But all the windows
were unlocked, so who knows?
They got it right there.
They still had their keys out.
Morgan: So they were
caught off guard.
The house is childproofed.
It must have been a relative
or a neighbor's kids.
They didn't have
any children.
The unsub probably
sat right here.
Had a soda. We should
pull the cans for prints.
The reading light's still on, so
the unsub was looking for something.
But there aren't any magazines
or newspapers around,
which means it was
important enough to take
him out of killing mode.
For someone on a spree,
this unsub sure is patient.
If he's so patient, what is it
that he's waiting for?
Hello? Do not put me
on hold again.
All I need you to do
is confirm an address
for me, please.
Miss?
You want to stand up
for me?
Want to stand up for me?
Stand up. Get up.
Let's get your jacket up.
I know.
I'm wet.
Can I touch it?
I'd rather you didn't.
You're so lucky.
A child's the greatest
gift of love anyone can ask for.
Excuse me.
Are you ok, sweetie?
[Little girl laughing]
I keep playing it over
in my head.
Maybe if I were
at home, I...
I would have
heard something.
There's nothing
you could have done.
They'd just finished
watching TV.
Listen, did your parents
have any problems
with anyone?
Were there people
who didn't like them?
No.
Everyone loved them.
They'd have these...
Get-togethers
and there'd be,
you know, a hundred
people in the living room.
And where did they meet
all of these people?
Community groups? Clubs?
At church.
Which one?
Holy Worship?
They went twice a week and
the wife taught Sunday school.
That's where Garcia said
last night's victims went as well.
What about
the first victims?
No. But they volunteered
at a community center.
So we've got two couples
from the same congregation killed.
That may be where
they met the unsub.
And he turned on them.
I'll send Reid and Rossi to the
church, see what they can find.
No.
No, mom, I didn't put it
in too much light
or overwater it.
Listen, I gotta go.
Well, don't call me
an orchid killer.
I didn't kill it.
Bye.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Oh, my,
what a pretty dress.
Oh, thanks.
I just got this.
I didn't know if
it was too much for me,
but who cares, right?
Yeah, who cares?
Uh, what can I do
for you?
The Millers and the Gilberts
both participated
in our foster program.
It's a local joint venture we
have with the community center.
Maybe it's the same one where
our first victims volunteered.
Well, I'm with Social Services
and I was in the neighborhood,
so I figured I'd come by.
I usually get a call
ahead of time for that.
Well, that explains why
their homes were childproofed.
They sometimes had kids
in their custody.
But if they were
foster parents,
it would have come up when
Garcia checked their backgrounds.
Oh, if this is a problem,
I'll just set up a time
to see you later.
Great.
I'll have to report
denial of entry, of course.
Uh--no, just come on.
It's fine.
What if you get a child
who needs a home immediately
but no foster families
are available?
Is there some sort
of emergency list
yeah. They could
take the kids
for just a night
or a weekend.
And, uh, both couples
were on that list, too.
We'll need a copy of that.
We also need the names
of anyone who would have
had access to it.
Our unsub's following
that list.
Our last couple had a baby in their
possession two days ago.
That sheds some light on the .22.
That gun is easy to handle.
And not very loud.
You know, add that
to no forced entry,
I don't think the pillows
were used to minimize sound.
They were used to stay clean.
Which means this unsub
might be a woman.
Who's most likely had a connection
to the foster system.
Or she simply
wants a kid.
Then why not just
snatch one off the street?
This is maternal desire.
These couples took in babies.
Maybe she lost her own
or can't conceive.
So she probably
killed those people
because when she
got to their home,
they didn't have a child
in their possession.
She'll keep killing
until she finds one.
So when was Johnny
last in your house?
Uh...He was moved
a couple days ago.
I almost cried.
You should have seen me.
Where was he placed?
It should be in the file.
Well, I don't have
that information here.
I'm sure my social
worker must have it.
What are you doing?
Well, this is a gun,
and inside of it
are what we call bullets.
What do you want?
I want to know
where Johnny is.
Well, I just told you.
They put him in a home.
Which home?
Ohh!
[Gunshot]
It's probably on the desk.
Then hurry up.
Where is it? I don't see it.
Where is it?
It's on the last page.
Do you want me
to call her for you?
No. I want you
off your necklace.
Your necklace.
My what?
Now take off your dress.
Take it off!
Please don't hurt me.
I've never hurt
anybody in my life.
Kneel on the ground.
I--I was raped once before.
Oh, for God sakes, shut up.
Oh! Oh!
Our father who art in heaven...
Stop that.
Hallowed by thy name...
Stop that.
They kingdom come,
stop.
Thy will be done...
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread
and forgive us
our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Shut up!
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
That's enough!
[Multiple gunshots]
[Gunshot]
She was on the emergency
foster family list, too.
But she hadn't had
the kid in 48 hours.
The unsub must have
some kind of ruse.
She gets in pretty easily.
Well, she's definitely
an organized spree killer.
She changed her M.O.
she stripped the woman
down to her underwear
and took her clothes.
[Cell phone rings]
We'll check for sexual assault.
I wouldn't waste
too much time.
Female serial killers are agenda
driven, not sexually compulsive.
What's the agenda here?
She left the woman
in her heels and her slip.
It could be humiliation.
Why didn't she do this
to any of the others?
[Ring]
Well, she's definitely
escalating.
When she found out the woman
didn't have a child, she got mad.
Look at this. She gave up
on the pillow,
then sprayed
the body with bullets.
So her maternal desire
is causing her to unravel.
What started
all this?
She's killing this frequently
because she's desperate.
She may have told somebody
that she's pregnant
and now she's got to
produce a kid.
[Ring]
Oh, come on.
Is it Garcia?
Yep.
Why aren't you
answering it?
Complicated.
Derek Morgan,
this is the 67th message
that I have left you,
and if you do not
call me back,
I will have no choice
but to show everyone
that nude photo of you
from art class,
and not the good one, either.
I'm being serious.
What were you and Kevin
talking about yesterday?
I'm freaking out here.
Please, call me back. Bye.
Hey!
Penelope?
You ok?
Yes, ok. Yes, I am ok.
I am fine.
No!
Are you sure?
What were you and Morgan
talking about?
When?
When? Yesterday.
Uh...
Uh...I don't remember.
That's funny, 'cause
you guys never talk.
Well, now, that--
that is untrue.
That's totally true.
Morgan is my friend.
You are my friend.
You and Morgan
are not friends.
It's complicated.
Mm-hmm.
You know, we were just
talking about guy stuff.
Yeah? Like what?
Um...
We were talking
about basketball.
Morgan hates watching
basketball. He's a hockey fan.
Yes. Yes, yes.
Yes, I know.
In fact, he was just
telling me
about how one of the first
professional hockey leagues
was started by black players
in Nova Scotia in 1895.
I know. Who knew?
Do you want to get
some dinner?
No. Uh...
We're about to deliver the
profile and I have to stay here.
We believe the unsub we're
looking for is a white female,
who, based upon the organizational
level of the crimes,
is in her late 30s
to early 40s.
Prentiss: We also believe that
something in the last few days
has triggered her to think
that killing was the only way
she was gonna be able
to obtain a child.
Consequently, the foster
families that did not
have a child in their care
when she visited,
became her victims.
Because all of these families
recently had children in their homes,
we believe our unsub
is motivated by maternal desire.
JJ: Maternal desire is
the profound emotional
need to mother a baby.
This stems from either
the tragic loss of her own child
or the inability
to have one at all.
This unsub may also fantasize that
someone else's baby belongs to her,
and this emotion feels
beyond her control.
A woman who miscarries sometimes
projects onto someone else's baby
and then sets out
to take that child.
This may cause our unsub
to do something drastic.
Like commit a Caesarean
abduction or kidnap a random kid.
The speed at which
the kills are occurring
suggests that our unsub
is frustrated and devolving.
JJ: This is causing her
to go on a spree,
which usually ends
in a very high body count
and suicide by cop.
So we should look at anyone
who is pregnant
and suffering from
postpartum psychosis.
We also need to check
those who worked for
or had access to
the local foster system.
Thank you.
Any questions?
[Baby cooing]
Ok, here we go.
There you are,
my big guy.
Get in the car
or I will shoot you right here.
Oh, my God. Ok.
Ok. [Gasps]
Hi.
[Baby coos]
Ok, now, start the car, Karen.
How do you know my name?
I know everything about you.
You're single, you made
six figures last year.
Decided to adopt a baby
because everything
in your life had worked out
except for
your broken ovaries.
What do you want?
Oh, you'll see. This'll be over
sooner than you think.
[Baby fussing]
Don't worry, it's ok.
It's ok. Everything's
gonna be all right. Yeah.
Drive, Karen.
So I checked the pregnant employees
working with the foster program.
No indication of maternal desire
or postpartum psychosis.
What about those
who were fired or quit?
Only two were pregnant,
but they also had healthy children.
The rest didn't fit
the profile.
Ok, we need to warn
other parents
in the foster system.
The police department's
already making phone calls.
This woman is erratic
and unstable.
What about someone
who was recently released
from a mental institution?
That would explain taking
the last victim's clothes.
When you enter a facility,
they strip you of your identity.
And when you get out of an
institution, the first thing you do
is try to get
your identity back.
I'll get Garcia.
Please, whatever you want
I will give you.
Is he still drinking formula,
or is he on to milk?
I have stocks,
and I have money.
I wanted to breast-feed him,
but they took him away.
You know what happens when a
mommy can't get rid of her milk?
The pain is excruciating.
They give you this pill
that dries you up.
That's the most unnatural thing
in the whole world, little Johnny.
His name is Ben.
It's Johnny!
You changed it.
Can he eat peanuts? Because
his dad is highly allergic.
His dad?
Who are you?
I'm his mother,
and I'm here to take him back.
Hi, baby. Mommy's here.
Yeah.
Pull over.
Penny G. has checked
all local mental institutions
and there are no women
that fit that description
that have been released
in the last two weeks.
All right, check Oregon,
Idaho, even Montana.
Ok. There are 4 women
that match the profile,
and none of them are preggers.
Another woman's been shot,
3 blocks from here.
She has a fairly
limited comfort zone.
All right, Reid,
work the list.
I'll take Rossi
and Prentiss with me.
Since you couldn't
go out to dinner,
I thought I would
bring dinner to you.
You never bring me dinner.
Vegan Pad Thai,
your favorite.
You had to go all the way
to Adams Morgan to get me that.
I thought I would just
do something special.
And you're sweating.
No, I'm not.
Why are you acting so weird?
I'm not acting weird.
You're acting weird.
I'm acting weird
because you're--
I don't have time for this, ok?
I need to get to work.
Ok, I'll just stand
in the back.
No! No, I can't concentrate
if you're here.
Well...Ok. Um,
I'll put the food
in the fridge,
but maybe you have time
to take a nibble on this?
This is a red velvet cupcake,
and you only give them to me
on special occasions.
We'll talk later.
[Siren]
[Indistinct police radio,
chatter]
BP's 90 over 60.
Can she talk?
No, pressure's falling.
Check the car.
I'll go with her.
We'll put out an APB on our unsub.
She might be on foot.
[Baby crying]
It's ok, Johnny.
Mommy's gonna take care
of everything.
[Continues crying]
No, no, no, no.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
We are. We're almost
there, honey.
Almost there. Promise.
[Siren] That's the first time
she shot someone in public.
She also didn't kill her.
Maybe she panicked and ran off.
Oh. Or she intentionally
spared her
because she had what
she wanted--a kid.
Rossi, look at all this.
The baby mirror.
And the stains.
Yeah, that could be formula.
Our unsub most likely transferred
the child into her own car
right here on the street.
So that means she fits in,
but the question is, where
did the carjacking happen?
Well, she was coming
from the doctor's office.
The kid was sick.
Ok, but why leave the victim
so close to the police station?
Well, she might not
have known.
She's erratic and probably
on a schedule.
So her desperation
outweighed rationale.
[Fussing]
Here.
[Doorbell rings]
Maggie.
Uh...What are you
doing here?
I got out.
It wasn't supposed to happen
for another 6 months.
Mm...[Chuckles]
Who's this?
It's Johnny, honey.
Our Johnny.
Yeah.
We're gonna be
a family, honey.
No one can stop us now.
Hey, let me look at you.
Did you buy this for me?
Yeah. It took me
a long time to find it.
We have to hurry.
Where are we going?
We could just go upstairs.
My mom won't be home
for hours.
No, we're getting
out of town, Tommy.
What are you talking about?
We're leaving here.
Is there anything else
you're gonna need?
Well, I--I can't
just take off.
Sure you can.
I've spent the last 4 days
getting everything ready.
I got us a house
that has a yard
and a jacuzzi tub,
just like that hotel
we used to go to. Hmm?
What about my mom?
Your mom is the reason
that we're in this position
in the first place.
She sent me to jail,
Tommy. Remember?
She's sick! Remember what she
said about me on the television?
She said I was a predator.
Am I an animal, Tommy?
No.
No.
Come on, baby.
I'm tired of writing letters.
We can't go back to sneaking
around anymore. Ok?
Mm.
Ok.
[Doorbell rings]
Ignore that.
Tommy, it's Julie!
Who's Julie?
A friend.
Are you doing her?
What?
[Sighs]
What's that for?
No one is gonna
come between us again, Tommy.
[Sighs]
What--
Rossi: Did you get
anything from Karen?
She's in surgery for two more hours.
What about you?
We think the unsub
carjacked Karen
at a pediatrician's office
two blocks from where she was shot.
Witnesses said that a woman
with blond hair, early 40s,
was waiting on a bench
for an hour
around the same time
Karen took her kid there.
We're working up
a composite now.
Dozens of women
and their children
were in and out
of the building in the morning,
but her only focus
was Karen.
So it's not just about maternal desire.
It's about a specific child.
Karen was in the process
of becoming the kid's adoptive mom.
The boy's name is Ben.
What if he's our unsub's baby?
Then he was probably fostered by
all of our victims.
Do we know
the birth parents' names?
Sealed with the state.
Time to unseal it.
Julie,
what are you doing here?
I missed you
at lunch today.
Yeah, I had band practice.
You know, I was thinking about
taking up the flute.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Maybe we could
talk about this later.
Oh, listen. Everyone's going
to this dance
in a few weeks,
and I was
thinking maybe
you and I could
go together?
I'm not really
into dances.
Oh, but it'll be fun.
Look, I know you
haven't dated anyone
since the whole
Ms. Hallman thing,
but--I know I'm not
as old as her or experienced,
but I know
what to do.
[Baby crying]
What's that?
Uh, it was, uh--
I'm just watching TV.
Was that a baby?
No--no, it's not
a baby. It--
Ms. Hallman.
I thought
you were in jail.
Let me give you a little lesson
on the prison system, sweetie.
It's overcrowded,
so I'm out.
Yeah, well, you're not
supposed to be here.
You raped him.
Julie!
You think what we did
was rape?
We made love.
Tell her, Tommy.
It's true, Julie.
This is my girl.
Your mom has a restraining
order against her.
Lesson number two, Julie--
restraining orders can be broken.
[Baby crying]
Take the baby
to the car.
Maggie, we--
Tommy, take the baby
to the car!
Tommy, what are you doing?
I'm calling the police.
He's 16.
Put the phone down.
So what?!
Ohh!
[Moaning]
This is your final
lesson, Julie.
Do not mess with
the teacher. Hmm.
[Julie groaning]
Ok, here's the dealio,
and stay with me.
Ben, formerly known as Johnny,
was born to Margaret Hallman.
Where is she now?
Well, uh, she should be at the
Fallbrook Women's Correctional Facility,
but she was released
4 days ago due to overcrowding.
We thought it was
a mental institution.
But if she was released,
why kill to get your own kid?
Her maternal rights
must have been terminated.
Yeah. That happens
when you have sex
with one of your high school
students 2 years ago.
His name, Thomas Brown,
aka Tommy Brown,
and he is little Johnny's
baby daddy,
like, for real.
Teacher love syndrome.
She gave birth to Tommy's
baby in jail,
and then when Tommy's mom
refused to raise it,
the baby was put
in foster care.
Ok, so we were right.
The baby did spend time
oh, you betcha.
In each of the victims' homes.
That would explain the spree
and the maternal desire.
She's trying to put
her family back together.
Garcia, we need the Browns'
address.
Maggie...
What'd you do to her?
[Whimpering]
I just scared her.
You didn't shoot her?
[Sighs]
[Groaning]
Maggie, she can't die.
What if I died, Tommy?
Do you know what
they did to me in jail?
God...
Ever since I met you, people have
been trying to keep us apart.
The teachers
at the school tried to.
[Muffled] Did you hear...
[Indistinct whispering]
So did the students.
Maggie,
that's not the point.
You know, in medieval times,
you could be 12 and get married.
Henry VIII's first wife
was much older than he was.
Romeo and Juliet
were 13.
[Indistinct whispering]
Look, no one understands
that you and I were
meant for each other.
That time and age
have no meaning.
Now, you're the love
of my life.
But if I'm not yours,
then get out.
Get out!
Drive.
[Sirens]
[Groaning, labored breathing]
Please...Please help!
Female down.
We need an ambulance
at 1986 Homer Street.
Is Margaret Hallman
in the house?
She took Tommy.
JJ: Ok, you're gonna be ok.
What's your name?
Julie Parker.
Julie, do you know
where they went?
No.
It hurts.
Let's put this
on it, ok?
Are you Tommy's
neighbor?
Yes. Ms. Hallman
had their baby with her.
Tommy took all his stuff.
The place is empty.
It's clear here, too.
We need to find out everything
we can about Margaret Hallman.
There are probably
other victims in her past.
Whose house is this?
It's ours.
Wow.
This is awesome.
You should see inside.
It's beautiful.
I don't know
what to say.
Oh...I love you.
I told you
it wasn't over.
We're gonna
do this, baby.
Everyone said you were gonna forget
about me when you went to jail.
No way.
How could I?
I wanted to show people
the letters,
but I didn't want
to get in trouble.
That was very, very smart.
You know, I was just
writing you this morning.
Yeah? Well, you should
read it to me.
Why don't you go inside,
take a shower, and I'll freshen up.
We, uh, we have a lot
of catching up to do.
[Chuckles]
Ms. Hallman had
an exemplary record in jail.
What was her correspondence
like with the outside world?
Um, well, she had limited
computer use,
and she used all of that time
searching for a...
Johnny Lewis.
Her baby?
No.
Johnny Lewis is one of
her former students
from Lake Forrest school.
His parents charged her
with molestation, and then
they dropped the charges.
Prentiss: When was this?
3 years prior
to meeting Tommy.
So she has a baby with Tommy
and names it after
the first kid she assaulted.
Yeah. And according to
the prison's hard drive,
she wrote dozens of emails
to this Johnny Lewis.
Maybe Tommy's
a surrogate for him.
Garcia, we need to talk
to the Lewises.
Mm, their phone
is disconnected.
What about an address?
They've moved around
a lot.
Oh, wow. Ok, it's like
they're off the grid.
Morgan: Well, who lives
in their old house now?
Maybe they can help us
get info.
Uh, it's changed hands
a lot.
Oh, snap, crackle, and pop
goes the lady weasel.
You'll never guess who bought it.
Prentiss:
Ms. Hallman.
Mm-hmm. It was picked up
by her sister a year ago
and then it was transferred
to Maggie's name yesterday.
Tommy, voice-over: Every day
I think about your touch,
your smell...
[Maggie laughing]
I wonder when we'll be
back together again,
winter, summer, or fall?
The metal bars that separate us
are just temporary, Maggie.
Instead of keeping us apart,
they've made us closer.
I didn't know life
could be so good.
Mm.
You have
the prettiest eyes.
Hey, I'm gonna want
another kid, Tommy.
Have a big family.
Then we'll do that.
Mm.
I didn't know they tried to hurt
you while you were in there.
Why didn't you tell me
about that in your letters?
Well, I didn't want
to scare you.
I would have done
something.
Well, there's nothing
you could have done.
[Baby fussing] All that's important
is that we're here now.
[Sirens]
What is that?
It's the police.
Did you call them?!
Why would I do that?
Let me see your phone.
I didn't call anyone.
Maybe Julie did. I--
if you're lying to me--
I would never...
I would never lie to you.
Yeah? Then...
Then prove it.
What do you want me
to do?
Protect your family,
honey.
Come here, sweetpea.
[Sirens]
Take the front. Prentiss and I
will take the back.
FBI! Drop it!
Just--just move.
Move--move back.
Tommy, drop the gun.
Just--just get off
our yard.
You don't want to do this.
You don't know me.
My--my girl and kid
are in there.
Morgan:
She's a predator, Tommy.
No, she's not an animal.
We love each other.
No. No, Tommy,
this isn't love.
This is a woman who's been
taking advantage of you.
She molested you.
No, I--I knew
what I was doing.
Did you know that
there was another kid
exactly like you
from another school?
Shut up!
No. No! They're lying.
Morgan: Tommy, she wrote
letters to him, too.
That's not true.
And she'd tell him that everything
happens for a reason.
Be quiet!
JJ: She said that he was
the love of her life.
That's it!
Morgan: That she loved
sneaking out to see him.
Maggie's voice: I never thought I'd be
sneaking out to see you.
You wrote that
to me, Maggie.
Tommy, she wrote it
to another boy.
His name was Johnny Lewis,
and he lived in this exact house.
I never thought I'd be
putting on fancy makeup
just to see you smile.
What are they
talking about?
JJ: She named your kid
after him.
Is that true?
I wasn't the only one.
I still feel the touch
of your skin.
Answer me, damn it!
Without you,
my life would be empty.
Without you,
I would go numb,
and that's why nothing's
going to keep us apart,
and I mean nothing.
Ohh!
[Gunshot]
Maggie!
We need paramedics
on the front porch.
Maggie. Maggie.
Maggie, stay with me.
Oh...
You were my light.
Maggie, please don't go.
Ohh...You were my soul.
I don't care
what anybody says.
I love you...
I love you, Johnny Lewis.
Morgan: "For every good reason
there is to lie,
there is a better reason
to tell the truth."
Bo Bennett.
I will never understand
this whole teacher lover thing.
I can barely deal
with a grown man.
What's interesting is, if it would
have been a male teacher
and a female student,
he'd have gotten 20 years
and none of this
would have happened.
Well, she could get life plus 20
for all those murders she committed.
You know, it's funny.
If she wasn't so pretty,
she probably would have never been
released in the first place.
It's true.
What?
Unattractive female predators
serve a longer prison sentence
than their attractive
counterparts.
Wow. That's ridiculous.
It's primal. There's
a hierarchy to everything,
including sex offenders.
Ok, well, who's ready
to get breakfast?
Uh, I can't. There's
something I gotta take care of.
JJ: Ok.
Hey, you.
I'm sorry
I didn't call you back.
That's totally ok.
I have low-grade esp,
so I can pretty much
figure out what's going on.
It works ok.
Ok, I'll bite.
What am I thinking?
It's not what
you're thinking.
It's what Kevin and you
were talking about.
I've been racking my brain
over what it could be
for the last 48 hours.
He's been sweaty,
he's been reading
my favorite books,
he's been getting
my favorite foods.
Derek, I hacked
into his computer.
Penelope...
He's looking at rings.
You know, the last time
I checked,
Kevin is a pretty great guy.
I knew it.
I knew it.
Baby, this is a good thing,
isn't it?
Maybe to you it is,
but not to me.
What happened to your standing
Tuesday night date thing?
That has nothing
to do with this.
When relationships
get more official, they get messy,
and you give and you compromise,
and people change,
and then...
Somebody goes away,
and you're left empty.
And I don't want that.
I don't--I don't want to be empty.
Baby, I really don't think
that's going to happen.
Yeah, that's what
always happens.
And--and I don't want
any part of that.
I don't want any part
of it at all.
[Clears throat]
What's wrong, plum sauce?
You know what? I'm gonna
let you guys do, um...
What you guys do.
You, uh, you know,
don't you?
Kevin...
I like the way
that things are now.
I love how you have your space
and I have my space,
and when we come together,
we're our own weird world
unto ourselves, and...
I don't want to ruin that.
That's not
what this would do.
Yeah. It would.
Penelope, are you, uh,
are you against marriage,
or are you just against
marrying me?
Kevin...
I'm just not ready yet.
Well, I am.
Kevin.
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
that love happens
when you least expect it.
I guess it's true,
because when I met you,
love was the last thing
on my mind.
I'd find myself
sneaking out to see you.
I'd put fancy makeup on
just to make you smile.
I still feel the touch
of your skin.
You help me get through
every night.
You give my life purpose.
That's why no matter
people try to do...
Nothing is going
keep us apart.
[Sprinklers turn on]
Aah! Ha ha!
[Both laughing]
[Horn honking,
tires screeching]
[Gunshot, scream]
[Gunshot]
Just the guy
I'm looking for.
Hey, what's up, Kevin?
Can we have...A talk?
Is Penelope ok?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's perfect.
In fact,
that's why I'm here.
I know you're Penelope's
boo and she's your baby girl.
And what I'm about to embark
on involves the keen insight
of somebody who knows
her inside and out.
And no matter how much
therapy I've gone through trying
to understand your relationship,
I know you're that person.
Ok, Kevin--
land your plane.
I want to propose to Penelope,
and I need your help.
[Elevator bell dings,
door opens]
Please, I'm not asking
for your blessing,
I'm asking
for your advice.
Ok, should I do it
over a couple tacos
and a nice can
of Red Bull?
All right. Should I
take her to New York
and do it at
the Statue of Liberty?
Maybe I should serenade her
at the roundtable
right before you guys
present a case.
No, actually,
that may not work,
given the gruesome
nature of your job.
Oh, how about
the high tech room,
and I pop up
on the HD mainframe?
Kevin, seriously, I got
a meeting I gotta get to.
Derek, please. Come on, bro,
this is important.
Um, hi, yeah,
what was that about?
Oh. You know,
he just wanted to talk.
About what?
Just guy stuff.
Me?
I didn't say that.
Garcia, I'd like
to get started.
Oh. Yes, sorry. Uh,
two couples were found
shot, uh, to death
in the Delridge neighborhood
of Seattle, Washington.
The first was Mark Daniels
and Ben Priestly.
They were found dead
in their living room.
The second was John
and Heather Miller.
They lived 4 miles away,
and they were found last
night dead in their home.
Their daughter
found them?
Yeah. She had snuck out
to see her boyfriend.
When she got back,
they were dead.
Two double homicides
must be rare in that area.
What makes it weirder
is that there was no sign
of robbery or sexual assault.
The shooter used a .22.
Shot them
execution style.
He's experienced to use
a pillow as a silencer.
You don't want to wake
the neighbors.
You know, these crimes
seem to lack the emotionality
that we typically see
in personal cause homicides.
Most executions are
criminal enterprise related.
The probability of these couples
being involved
in the exact same
illegal activity is kind of low.
There's no way these were
random victims of opportunity.
Garcia, any sign
of forced entry?
None that the authorities
have found, no.
So it's a home invasion.
Or our unsub is using
some kind of ruse.
Either way, they're
calculating and dispassionate.
And no appreciation
for chenille throw pillows.
The violent and targeted
nature of these crimes
suggests that
there could be more.
Wheels up in 30.
Woman: When people look back
and talk about us,
they're gonna say
what I did was right.
That we were ahead of our time,
we were pioneers.
I get to pick the movie
next time.
[Laughing]
Well, it's better than the last
3D thing we saw at the IMAX.
Come on, Gayle.
You look cute in those glasses.
Am I any less cute
when I have a migraine?
Brian?
Who are you?
What do you want?
Please don't hurt us.
There's money
and jewelry upstairs.
Woman: And when they
ask me why I did it...
I'll tell them the truth.
It's because I love you...
Aah! [Sobbing]
I love you, Tommy Brown.

♪
Morgan: It was once said
that love is giving someone
the ability to destroy you
but trusting them not to.
All right, let's go over
victimology.
Each of the victims
is a professional.
Rossi: The domestic partners were
lawyers, and the Millers worked
at a tech company.
But P.D. couldn't find
any overlap.
Both couples were really
enjoyed by their peers,
neighborhood watch,
volunteered in community
groups, you name it.
This was a straight-up
execution.
Kneeling on the ground,
placing a pillow behind the head.
It seems ritualistic.
Rossi: Or they're simply
taking precautions.
Some of the vics
were shot in the leg.
They probably were trying
to defend themselves,
and this was the only way our
unsub could get them to the floor.
Well, the scene's
pretty clean,
except what's left
on the floor and the pillows.
Garcia, how are
each of the couples' financials?
Yo, I wish mine
were this good.
What about the Millers'
daughter Abby?
She sneaks out
to see her boyfriend?
That's kind of convenient.
The P.D. confirms her story.
A neighbor saw her kissing
her boyfriend in his backyard
during the time
of the kills.
You guys, something
just happened.
Another couple,
the same area,
shot to death
in their house.
This is turning into
a spree.
Targeting potentially
unrelated couples.
And the time between
the murders is accelerating.
Prentiss, you and JJ
go talk to Abby.
Dave and I will go to
the first crime scene.
Morgan and Reid,
you go to the new one.
I mean, we get
our occasional DWI,
a few kids egging
a house on Halloween.
But people shot like this...
It looks like one of
those cable shows.
Again, there's no sign
of break-in.
But all the windows
were unlocked, so who knows?
They got it right there.
They still had their keys out.
Morgan: So they were
caught off guard.
The house is childproofed.
It must have been a relative
or a neighbor's kids.
They didn't have
any children.
The unsub probably
sat right here.
Had a soda. We should
pull the cans for prints.
The reading light's still on, so
the unsub was looking for something.
But there aren't any magazines
or newspapers around,
which means it was
important enough to take
him out of killing mode.
For someone on a spree,
this unsub sure is patient.
If he's so patient, what is it
that he's waiting for?
Hello? Do not put me
on hold again.
All I need you to do
is confirm an address
for me, please.
Miss?
You want to stand up
for me?
Want to stand up for me?
Stand up. Get up.
Let's get your jacket up.
I know.
I'm wet.
Can I touch it?
I'd rather you didn't.
You're so lucky.
A child's the greatest
gift of love anyone can ask for.
Excuse me.
Are you ok, sweetie?
[Little girl laughing]
I keep playing it over
in my head.
Maybe if I were
at home, I...
I would have
heard something.
There's nothing
you could have done.
They'd just finished
watching TV.
Listen, did your parents
have any problems
with anyone?
Were there people
who didn't like them?
No.
Everyone loved them.
They'd have these...
Get-togethers
and there'd be,
you know, a hundred
people in the living room.
And where did they meet
all of these people?
Community groups? Clubs?
At church.
Which one?
Holy Worship?
They went twice a week and
the wife taught Sunday school.
That's where Garcia said
last night's victims went as well.
What about
the first victims?
No. But they volunteered
at a community center.
So we've got two couples
from the same congregation killed.
That may be where
they met the unsub.
And he turned on them.
I'll send Reid and Rossi to the
church, see what they can find.
No.
No, mom, I didn't put it
in too much light
or overwater it.
Listen, I gotta go.
Well, don't call me
an orchid killer.
I didn't kill it.
Bye.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Oh, my,
what a pretty dress.
Oh, thanks.
I just got this.
I didn't know if
it was too much for me,
but who cares, right?
Yeah, who cares?
Uh, what can I do
for you?
The Millers and the Gilberts
both participated
in our foster program.
It's a local joint venture we
have with the community center.
Maybe it's the same one where
our first victims volunteered.
Well, I'm with Social Services
and I was in the neighborhood,
so I figured I'd come by.
I usually get a call
ahead of time for that.
Well, that explains why
their homes were childproofed.
They sometimes had kids
in their custody.
But if they were
foster parents,
it would have come up when
Garcia checked their backgrounds.
Oh, if this is a problem,
I'll just set up a time
to see you later.
Great.
I'll have to report
denial of entry, of course.
Uh--no, just come on.
It's fine.
What if you get a child
who needs a home immediately
but no foster families
are available?
Is there some sort
of emergency list
yeah. They could
take the kids
for just a night
or a weekend.
And, uh, both couples
were on that list, too.
We'll need a copy of that.
We also need the names
of anyone who would have
had access to it.
Our unsub's following
that list.
Our last couple had a baby in their
possession two days ago.
That sheds some light on the .22.
That gun is easy to handle.
And not very loud.
You know, add that
to no forced entry,
I don't think the pillows
were used to minimize sound.
They were used to stay clean.
Which means this unsub
might be a woman.
Who's most likely had a connection
to the foster system.
Or she simply
wants a kid.
Then why not just
snatch one off the street?
This is maternal desire.
These couples took in babies.
Maybe she lost her own
or can't conceive.
So she probably
killed those people
because when she
got to their home,
they didn't have a child
in their possession.
She'll keep killing
until she finds one.
So when was Johnny
last in your house?
Uh...He was moved
a couple days ago.
I almost cried.
You should have seen me.
Where was he placed?
It should be in the file.
Well, I don't have
that information here.
I'm sure my social
worker must have it.
What are you doing?
Well, this is a gun,
and inside of it
are what we call bullets.
What do you want?
I want to know
where Johnny is.
Well, I just told you.
They put him in a home.
Which home?
Ohh!
[Gunshot]
It's probably on the desk.
Then hurry up.
Where is it? I don't see it.
Where is it?
It's on the last page.
Do you want me
to call her for you?
No. I want you
off your necklace.
Your necklace.
My what?
Now take off your dress.
Take it off!
Please don't hurt me.
I've never hurt
anybody in my life.
Kneel on the ground.
I--I was raped once before.
Oh, for God sakes, shut up.
Oh! Oh!
Our father who art in heaven...
Stop that.
Hallowed by thy name...
Stop that.
They kingdom come,
stop.
Thy will be done...
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread
and forgive us
our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Shut up!
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
That's enough!
[Multiple gunshots]
[Gunshot]
She was on the emergency
foster family list, too.
But she hadn't had
the kid in 48 hours.
The unsub must have
some kind of ruse.
She gets in pretty easily.
Well, she's definitely
an organized spree killer.
She changed her M.O.
she stripped the woman
down to her underwear
and took her clothes.
[Cell phone rings]
We'll check for sexual assault.
I wouldn't waste
too much time.
Female serial killers are agenda
driven, not sexually compulsive.
What's the agenda here?
She left the woman
in her heels and her slip.
It could be humiliation.
Why didn't she do this
to any of the others?
[Ring]
Well, she's definitely
escalating.
When she found out the woman
didn't have a child, she got mad.
Look at this. She gave up
on the pillow,
then sprayed
the body with bullets.
So her maternal desire
is causing her to unravel.
What started
all this?
She's killing this frequently
because she's desperate.
She may have told somebody
that she's pregnant
and now she's got to
produce a kid.
[Ring]
Oh, come on.
Is it Garcia?
Yep.
Why aren't you
answering it?
Complicated.
Derek Morgan,
this is the 67th message
that I have left you,
and if you do not
call me back,
I will have no choice
but to show everyone
that nude photo of you
from art class,
and not the good one, either.
I'm being serious.
What were you and Kevin
talking about yesterday?
I'm freaking out here.
Please, call me back. Bye.
Hey!
Penelope?
You ok?
Yes, ok. Yes, I am ok.
I am fine.
No!
Are you sure?
What were you and Morgan
talking about?
When?
When? Yesterday.
Uh...
Uh...I don't remember.
That's funny, 'cause
you guys never talk.
Well, now, that--
that is untrue.
That's totally true.
Morgan is my friend.
You are my friend.
You and Morgan
are not friends.
It's complicated.
Mm-hmm.
You know, we were just
talking about guy stuff.
Yeah? Like what?
Um...
We were talking
about basketball.
Morgan hates watching
basketball. He's a hockey fan.
Yes. Yes, yes.
Yes, I know.
In fact, he was just
telling me
about how one of the first
professional hockey leagues
was started by black players
in Nova Scotia in 1895.
I know. Who knew?
Do you want to get
some dinner?
No. Uh...
We're about to deliver the
profile and I have to stay here.
We believe the unsub we're
looking for is a white female,
who, based upon the organizational
level of the crimes,
is in her late 30s
to early 40s.
Prentiss: We also believe that
something in the last few days
has triggered her to think
that killing was the only way
she was gonna be able
to obtain a child.
Consequently, the foster
families that did not
have a child in their care
when she visited,
became her victims.
Because all of these families
recently had children in their homes,
we believe our unsub
is motivated by maternal desire.
JJ: Maternal desire is
the profound emotional
need to mother a baby.
This stems from either
the tragic loss of her own child
or the inability
to have one at all.
This unsub may also fantasize that
someone else's baby belongs to her,
and this emotion feels
beyond her control.
A woman who miscarries sometimes
projects onto someone else's baby
and then sets out
to take that child.
This may cause our unsub
to do something drastic.
Like commit a Caesarean
abduction or kidnap a random kid.
The speed at which
the kills are occurring
suggests that our unsub
is frustrated and devolving.
JJ: This is causing her
to go on a spree,
which usually ends
in a very high body count
and suicide by cop.
So we should look at anyone
who is pregnant
and suffering from
postpartum psychosis.
We also need to check
those who worked for
or had access to
the local foster system.
Thank you.
Any questions?
[Baby cooing]
Ok, here we go.
There you are,
my big guy.
Get in the car
or I will shoot you right here.
Oh, my God. Ok.
Ok. [Gasps]
Hi.
[Baby coos]
Ok, now, start the car, Karen.
How do you know my name?
I know everything about you.
You're single, you made
six figures last year.
Decided to adopt a baby
because everything
in your life had worked out
except for
your broken ovaries.
What do you want?
Oh, you'll see. This'll be over
sooner than you think.
[Baby fussing]
Don't worry, it's ok.
It's ok. Everything's
gonna be all right. Yeah.
Drive, Karen.
So I checked the pregnant employees
working with the foster program.
No indication of maternal desire
or postpartum psychosis.
What about those
who were fired or quit?
Only two were pregnant,
but they also had healthy children.
The rest didn't fit
the profile.
Ok, we need to warn
other parents
in the foster system.
The police department's
already making phone calls.
This woman is erratic
and unstable.
What about someone
who was recently released
from a mental institution?
That would explain taking
the last victim's clothes.
When you enter a facility,
they strip you of your identity.
And when you get out of an
institution, the first thing you do
is try to get
your identity back.
I'll get Garcia.
Please, whatever you want
I will give you.
Is he still drinking formula,
or is he on to milk?
I have stocks,
and I have money.
I wanted to breast-feed him,
but they took him away.
You know what happens when a
mommy can't get rid of her milk?
The pain is excruciating.
They give you this pill
that dries you up.
That's the most unnatural thing
in the whole world, little Johnny.
His name is Ben.
It's Johnny!
You changed it.
Can he eat peanuts? Because
his dad is highly allergic.
His dad?
Who are you?
I'm his mother,
and I'm here to take him back.
Hi, baby. Mommy's here.
Yeah.
Pull over.
Penny G. has checked
all local mental institutions
and there are no women
that fit that description
that have been released
in the last two weeks.
All right, check Oregon,
Idaho, even Montana.
Ok. There are 4 women
that match the profile,
and none of them are preggers.
Another woman's been shot,
3 blocks from here.
She has a fairly
limited comfort zone.
All right, Reid,
work the list.
I'll take Rossi
and Prentiss with me.
Since you couldn't
go out to dinner,
I thought I would
bring dinner to you.
You never bring me dinner.
Vegan Pad Thai,
your favorite.
You had to go all the way
to Adams Morgan to get me that.
I thought I would just
do something special.
And you're sweating.
No, I'm not.
Why are you acting so weird?
I'm not acting weird.
You're acting weird.
I'm acting weird
because you're--
I don't have time for this, ok?
I need to get to work.
Ok, I'll just stand
in the back.
No! No, I can't concentrate
if you're here.
Well...Ok. Um,
I'll put the food
in the fridge,
but maybe you have time
to take a nibble on this?
This is a red velvet cupcake,
and you only give them to me
on special occasions.
We'll talk later.
[Siren]
[Indistinct police radio,
chatter]
BP's 90 over 60.
Can she talk?
No, pressure's falling.
Check the car.
I'll go with her.
We'll put out an APB on our unsub.
She might be on foot.
[Baby crying]
It's ok, Johnny.
Mommy's gonna take care
of everything.
[Continues crying]
No, no, no, no.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
We are. We're almost
there, honey.
Almost there. Promise.
[Siren] That's the first time
she shot someone in public.
She also didn't kill her.
Maybe she panicked and ran off.
Oh. Or she intentionally
spared her
because she had what
she wanted--a kid.
Rossi, look at all this.
The baby mirror.
And the stains.
Yeah, that could be formula.
Our unsub most likely transferred
the child into her own car
right here on the street.
So that means she fits in,
but the question is, where
did the carjacking happen?
Well, she was coming
from the doctor's office.
The kid was sick.
Ok, but why leave the victim
so close to the police station?
Well, she might not
have known.
She's erratic and probably
on a schedule.
So her desperation
outweighed rationale.
[Fussing]
Here.
[Doorbell rings]
Maggie.
Uh...What are you
doing here?
I got out.
It wasn't supposed to happen
for another 6 months.
Mm...[Chuckles]
Who's this?
It's Johnny, honey.
Our Johnny.
Yeah.
We're gonna be
a family, honey.
No one can stop us now.
Hey, let me look at you.
Did you buy this for me?
Yeah. It took me
a long time to find it.
We have to hurry.
Where are we going?
We could just go upstairs.
My mom won't be home
for hours.
No, we're getting
out of town, Tommy.
What are you talking about?
We're leaving here.
Is there anything else
you're gonna need?
Well, I--I can't
just take off.
Sure you can.
I've spent the last 4 days
getting everything ready.
I got us a house
that has a yard
and a jacuzzi tub,
just like that hotel
we used to go to. Hmm?
What about my mom?
Your mom is the reason
that we're in this position
in the first place.
She sent me to jail,
Tommy. Remember?
She's sick! Remember what she
said about me on the television?
She said I was a predator.
Am I an animal, Tommy?
No.
No.
Come on, baby.
I'm tired of writing letters.
We can't go back to sneaking
around anymore. Ok?
Mm.
Ok.
[Doorbell rings]
Ignore that.
Tommy, it's Julie!
Who's Julie?
A friend.
Are you doing her?
What?
[Sighs]
What's that for?
No one is gonna
come between us again, Tommy.
[Sighs]
What--
Rossi: Did you get
anything from Karen?
She's in surgery for two more hours.
What about you?
We think the unsub
carjacked Karen
at a pediatrician's office
two blocks from where she was shot.
Witnesses said that a woman
with blond hair, early 40s,
was waiting on a bench
for an hour
around the same time
Karen took her kid there.
We're working up
a composite now.
Dozens of women
and their children
were in and out
of the building in the morning,
but her only focus
was Karen.
So it's not just about maternal desire.
It's about a specific child.
Karen was in the process
of becoming the kid's adoptive mom.
The boy's name is Ben.
What if he's our unsub's baby?
Then he was probably fostered by
all of our victims.
Do we know
the birth parents' names?
Sealed with the state.
Time to unseal it.
Julie,
what are you doing here?
I missed you
at lunch today.
Yeah, I had band practice.
You know, I was thinking about
taking up the flute.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Maybe we could
talk about this later.
Oh, listen. Everyone's going
to this dance
in a few weeks,
and I was
thinking maybe
you and I could
go together?
I'm not really
into dances.
Oh, but it'll be fun.
Look, I know you
haven't dated anyone
since the whole
Ms. Hallman thing,
but--I know I'm not
as old as her or experienced,
but I know
what to do.
[Baby crying]
What's that?
Uh, it was, uh--
I'm just watching TV.
Was that a baby?
No--no, it's not
a baby. It--
Ms. Hallman.
I thought
you were in jail.
Let me give you a little lesson
on the prison system, sweetie.
It's overcrowded,
so I'm out.
Yeah, well, you're not
supposed to be here.
You raped him.
Julie!
You think what we did
was rape?
We made love.
Tell her, Tommy.
It's true, Julie.
This is my girl.
Your mom has a restraining
order against her.
Lesson number two, Julie--
restraining orders can be broken.
[Baby crying]
Take the baby
to the car.
Maggie, we--
Tommy, take the baby
to the car!
Tommy, what are you doing?
I'm calling the police.
He's 16.
Put the phone down.
So what?!
Ohh!
[Moaning]
This is your final
lesson, Julie.
Do not mess with
the teacher. Hmm.
[Julie groaning]
Ok, here's the dealio,
and stay with me.
Ben, formerly known as Johnny,
was born to Margaret Hallman.
Where is she now?
Well, uh, she should be at the
Fallbrook Women's Correctional Facility,
but she was released
4 days ago due to overcrowding.
We thought it was
a mental institution.
But if she was released,
why kill to get your own kid?
Her maternal rights
must have been terminated.
Yeah. That happens
when you have sex
with one of your high school
students 2 years ago.
His name, Thomas Brown,
aka Tommy Brown,
and he is little Johnny's
baby daddy,
like, for real.
Teacher love syndrome.
She gave birth to Tommy's
baby in jail,
and then when Tommy's mom
refused to raise it,
the baby was put
in foster care.
Ok, so we were right.
The baby did spend time
oh, you betcha.
In each of the victims' homes.
That would explain the spree
and the maternal desire.
She's trying to put
her family back together.
Garcia, we need the Browns'
address.
Maggie...
What'd you do to her?
[Whimpering]
I just scared her.
You didn't shoot her?
[Sighs]
[Groaning]
Maggie, she can't die.
What if I died, Tommy?
Do you know what
they did to me in jail?
God...
Ever since I met you, people have
been trying to keep us apart.
The teachers
at the school tried to.
[Muffled] Did you hear...
[Indistinct whispering]
So did the students.
Maggie,
that's not the point.
You know, in medieval times,
you could be 12 and get married.
Henry VIII's first wife
was much older than he was.
Romeo and Juliet
were 13.
[Indistinct whispering]
Look, no one understands
that you and I were
meant for each other.
That time and age
have no meaning.
Now, you're the love
of my life.
But if I'm not yours,
then get out.
Get out!
Drive.
[Sirens]
[Groaning, labored breathing]
Please...Please help!
Female down.
We need an ambulance
at 1986 Homer Street.
Is Margaret Hallman
in the house?
She took Tommy.
JJ: Ok, you're gonna be ok.
What's your name?
Julie Parker.
Julie, do you know
where they went?
No.
It hurts.
Let's put this
on it, ok?
Are you Tommy's
neighbor?
Yes. Ms. Hallman
had their baby with her.
Tommy took all his stuff.
The place is empty.
It's clear here, too.
We need to find out everything
we can about Margaret Hallman.
There are probably
other victims in her past.
Whose house is this?
It's ours.
Wow.
This is awesome.
You should see inside.
It's beautiful.
I don't know
what to say.
Oh...I love you.
I told you
it wasn't over.
We're gonna
do this, baby.
Everyone said you were gonna forget
about me when you went to jail.
No way.
How could I?
I wanted to show people
the letters,
but I didn't want
to get in trouble.
That was very, very smart.
You know, I was just
writing you this morning.
Yeah? Well, you should
read it to me.
Why don't you go inside,
take a shower, and I'll freshen up.
We, uh, we have a lot
of catching up to do.
[Chuckles]
Ms. Hallman had
an exemplary record in jail.
What was her correspondence
like with the outside world?
Um, well, she had limited
computer use,
and she used all of that time
searching for a...
Johnny Lewis.
Her baby?
No.
Johnny Lewis is one of
her former students
from Lake Forrest school.
His parents charged her
with molestation, and then
they dropped the charges.
Prentiss: When was this?
3 years prior
to meeting Tommy.
So she has a baby with Tommy
and names it after
the first kid she assaulted.
Yeah. And according to
the prison's hard drive,
she wrote dozens of emails
to this Johnny Lewis.
Maybe Tommy's
a surrogate for him.
Garcia, we need to talk
to the Lewises.
Mm, their phone
is disconnected.
What about an address?
They've moved around
a lot.
Oh, wow. Ok, it's like
they're off the grid.
Morgan: Well, who lives
in their old house now?
Maybe they can help us
get info.
Uh, it's changed hands
a lot.
Oh, snap, crackle, and pop
goes the lady weasel.
You'll never guess who bought it.
Prentiss:
Ms. Hallman.
Mm-hmm. It was picked up
by her sister a year ago
and then it was transferred
to Maggie's name yesterday.
Tommy, voice-over: Every day
I think about your touch,
your smell...
[Maggie laughing]
I wonder when we'll be
back together again,
winter, summer, or fall?
The metal bars that separate us
are just temporary, Maggie.
Instead of keeping us apart,
they've made us closer.
I didn't know life
could be so good.
Mm.
You have
the prettiest eyes.
Hey, I'm gonna want
another kid, Tommy.
Have a big family.
Then we'll do that.
Mm.
I didn't know they tried to hurt
you while you were in there.
Why didn't you tell me
about that in your letters?
Well, I didn't want
to scare you.
I would have done
something.
Well, there's nothing
you could have done.
[Baby fussing] All that's important
is that we're here now.
[Sirens]
What is that?
It's the police.
Did you call them?!
Why would I do that?
Let me see your phone.
I didn't call anyone.
Maybe Julie did. I--
if you're lying to me--
I would never...
I would never lie to you.
Yeah? Then...
Then prove it.
What do you want me
to do?
Protect your family,
honey.
Come here, sweetpea.
[Sirens]
Take the front. Prentiss and I
will take the back.
FBI! Drop it!
Just--just move.
Move--move back.
Tommy, drop the gun.
Just--just get off
our yard.
You don't want to do this.
You don't know me.
My--my girl and kid
are in there.
Morgan:
She's a predator, Tommy.
No, she's not an animal.
We love each other.
No. No, Tommy,
this isn't love.
This is a woman who's been
taking advantage of you.
She molested you.
No, I--I knew
what I was doing.
Did you know that
there was another kid
exactly like you
from another school?
Shut up!
No. No! They're lying.
Morgan: Tommy, she wrote
letters to him, too.
That's not true.
And she'd tell him that everything
happens for a reason.
Be quiet!
JJ: She said that he was
the love of her life.
That's it!
Morgan: That she loved
sneaking out to see him.
Maggie's voice: I never thought I'd be
sneaking out to see you.
You wrote that
to me, Maggie.
Tommy, she wrote it
to another boy.
His name was Johnny Lewis,
and he lived in this exact house.
I never thought I'd be
putting on fancy makeup
just to see you smile.
What are they
talking about?
JJ: She named your kid
after him.
Is that true?
I wasn't the only one.
I still feel the touch
of your skin.
Answer me, damn it!
Without you,
my life would be empty.
Without you,
I would go numb,
and that's why nothing's
going to keep us apart,
and I mean nothing.
Ohh!
[Gunshot]
Maggie!
We need paramedics
on the front porch.
Maggie. Maggie.
Maggie, stay with me.
Oh...
You were my light.
Maggie, please don't go.
Ohh...You were my soul.
I don't care
what anybody says.
I love you...
I love you, Johnny Lewis.
Morgan: "For every good reason
there is to lie,
there is a better reason
to tell the truth."
Bo Bennett.
I will never understand
this whole teacher lover thing.
I can barely deal
with a grown man.
What's interesting is, if it would
have been a male teacher
and a female student,
he'd have gotten 20 years
and none of this
would have happened.
Well, she could get life plus 20
for all those murders she committed.
You know, it's funny.
If she wasn't so pretty,
she probably would have never been
released in the first place.
It's true.
What?
Unattractive female predators
serve a longer prison sentence
than their attractive
counterparts.
Wow. That's ridiculous.
It's primal. There's
a hierarchy to everything,
including sex offenders.
Ok, well, who's ready
to get breakfast?
Uh, I can't. There's
something I gotta take care of.
JJ: Ok.
Hey, you.
I'm sorry
I didn't call you back.
That's totally ok.
I have low-grade esp,
so I can pretty much
figure out what's going on.
It works ok.
Ok, I'll bite.
What am I thinking?
It's not what
you're thinking.
It's what Kevin and you
were talking about.
I've been racking my brain
over what it could be
for the last 48 hours.
He's been sweaty,
he's been reading
my favorite books,
he's been getting
my favorite foods.
Derek, I hacked
into his computer.
Penelope...
He's looking at rings.
You know, the last time
I checked,
Kevin is a pretty great guy.
I knew it.
I knew it.
Baby, this is a good thing,
isn't it?
Maybe to you it is,
but not to me.
What happened to your standing
Tuesday night date thing?
That has nothing
to do with this.
When relationships
get more official, they get messy,
and you give and you compromise,
and people change,
and then...
Somebody goes away,
and you're left empty.
And I don't want that.
I don't--I don't want to be empty.
Baby, I really don't think
that's going to happen.
Yeah, that's what
always happens.
And--and I don't want
any part of that.
I don't want any part
of it at all.
[Clears throat]
What's wrong, plum sauce?
You know what? I'm gonna
let you guys do, um...
What you guys do.
You, uh, you know,
don't you?
Kevin...
I like the way
that things are now.
I love how you have your space
and I have my space,
and when we come together,
we're our own weird world
unto ourselves, and...
I don't want to ruin that.
That's not
what this would do.
Yeah. It would.
Penelope, are you, uh,
are you against marriage,
or are you just against
marrying me?
Kevin...
I'm just not ready yet.
Well, I am.
Kevin.
