Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 8, Episode 14 - All That Remains - full transcript

When the daughters of Bruce Morrison, a writer whose wife mysteriously vanished a year ago, go missing on the anniversary of their mother's disappearance, the BAU is brought in to study Morrison as a possible suspect.

Mom, your pearls, really?

Oh, I think
they're nice.

Just try them.

Wow, look at you!

You're so pretty, Sera.

Isn't she, Dad?

Just like her mom.

Oh, stop.

Let me do it.

Ok.

All right, you got it?



Yeah.

All right, here you go.

If this guy touches you,
he's dead.

I'm serious.
Dad.

Just please don't
say that to him.

Stop embarrassing
her, Bruce.

I want to go
to Homecoming.

Soon enough,
little one.

I am not so little.

911. What's your emergency?

Oh, God.

Hello?
What's your emergency?

Is anyone there? Hello?

Sir?



They're gone.
My girls are gone.

I need your help.

When you say girls,
do you mean your daughters?

Yes.

All right, I need you
to stay on the line, sir.

Please confirm
where you're calling from.

1721 Hillcrest Drive.

This can't be happening.

What's your name, sir?

Bruce. Bruce Morrison.

How old are your daughters,
Mr. Morrison?

13 and 17.

When was the last time
you saw them?

They went to bed
around 9:30.

No, wait.
It was Monday.

Sera has a study group,
so it was more like 10:00.

Sir, today is Wednesday.

You haven't seen them
since Monday?

No. No, that can't be right.

I'm sorry, sir,
but it is.

Today is Wednesday.

No.

The police have been alerted, sir,
and they're on their way.

That call came in
an hour ago.

How does a single father lose
his teenage daughters for 36 hours?

He doesn't.

His girls are gone.

He doesn't blame anyone.

And he doesn't use
any buzzwords

first responders
are trained to hear.

He never says missing,
abducted, runaway.

Maybe that's what they did, though.
Maybe they ran away.

There's no history of that.

The likelihood of
a stranger abduction

in a neighborhood
like this is rare.

I've counted 7 turns from
the entrance to their driveway.

No one just stumbled
onto the house.

And where's the mother?

Could this be a parental
child abduction?

Uh, doubtful. Exactly one year
ago today he made this call.

911. Please state
your emergency.

My wife is gone.

Confirm where are you
calling from.

1721 Hillcrest Drive.

She'd also been missing
for two days

before he contacted authorities,
and she's never been found.

This man is either the victim
of a serial offender

or he is one.

Please tell me
this guy's in custody.

The Salisbury police
are at his home

and they've been there
since the call came in.

There are hard copies
and tablet copies

of both case files
on the plane.

It's a short flight
to the eastern shore.

There'll be more
when you land.

"Love never dies
a natural death.

"It dies of blindness
and errors and betrayals.

It dies of weariness,
of witherings, of tarnishings."

Anais Nin.

Bruce and Judy Morrison were well
liked and active in the community.

All signs point to them
living a quiet life.

He's a writer
and a Professor,

and it looks like she got into
real estate a few years ago.

'02, before the market
crashed.

Well, 10 years later Judy had
an affair with a co-worker,

a Jeff Godwin?

That was discovered
in the investigation

but never made it
in the papers.

Bruce Morrison
was a prime suspect,

but they never
found any evidence

and the affair wasn't
deemed enough of a motive.

The university's put him
on sabbatical since then.

He's been writing forever, and
he's been teaching since 1985.

Transcript says
he was grief-stricken

and couldn't handle
the pressure.

Not many people could.

The odds of this event
striking the same family

on the same day
must be a billion to one.

Close enough.

Judy inherited money
from her family

and it's in a trust
for the girls.

Ah, jeez, please tell me he did not
get rid of his wife for money.

Bank records indicate
he hasn't touched the funds,

despite the depleting supplemental
income from the university.

Yeah, but it could be
a combo platter.

Revenge and profit.

His wife cheated
and he retaliated in anger.

That might not be a surprise,
but that doesn't explain

why he would harm
his own children.

The oldest daughter Sera
had a 4.0 GPA,

but she didn't apply
to a single college back east.

She accepted a Stanford
early admission.

Maybe her father saw going
that far away as a form of betrayal.

The second one in a year.

First his wife of 27 years
fools around

and then probably threatens
to end the marriage.

A year later, the daughter
can't wait to leave.

Abandonment could be
the common denominator.

There is another
possibility.

Maybe Bruce Morrison
didn't do it.

The family have
any enemies?

The only person that might
fit that would be Jeff Godwin.

Mm, looks like he had
a pretty solid alibi

the night Judy went missing.

He was wining and dining
his own wife

at a local restaurant.

So the only viable suspect
back then

was the same one we have now.

All the answers
are in that house.

Marty Friedman.
Thanks for making the trip.

We got search and rescue
combing the woods

and the Choptank
and Wicomico rivers.

We're dredging all the way
from here to the Chesapeake.

I'm not letting this guy
get away with it again.

Has he said why he took
a day to call?

Claims he doesn't remember.

He's been glued
to his computer.

Maybe he needs new
material for a novel.

We'll work alongside your team
if that's all right.

Whatever you need.

Everybody take a room.

Mr. Morrison,
I'm Aaron Hotchner from the FBI.

My team's here to help gather
information to find your children.

I'm glad you're here.

But shouldn't you be out
there looking for my girls?

We have to start where
they were last seen.

I know you think
I did this.

They all do.

Sir, we're not here
to accuse you.

We want to find
your daughters.

Well, so do I.

So if someone calls
with a ransom demand,

do you have the means
to trace the call?

No one's calling.

We'll have our analyst set up
what we call a trap and trace

back at Quantico.
Thanks.

I'm told you have
Sera's phone.

It's on the dining room
table.

And Katie's phone?

I looked for it in her room.
I couldn't find it.

I've made some flyers.

Detective, would it be possible
for one of your officers

to help get them out?

That's a good idea.

It looks like Katie
stayed in a lot.

She has a schedule of when
she was gonna try new recipes.

She seems like
a really sweet girl.

Her charger's here
but the phone is not.

Maybe it's with her?

Yeah, I'll have Garcia
track it.

It'll only work
if it's on, though.

It's worth a try.

If the girls had access
to a phone and they were okay,

they would have called
for help by now.

Nothing in the past year
since her mom disappeared.

It looks like she kept it
all bottled up.

Except when she was
assigned to write.

There's a lot of papers in here
from her creative writing class.

Her dad's a writer
and English Professor.

Maybe she was trying
to get his attention.

What is it?

Are most high school
seniors this neat?

Trash is empty.
Bed's perfectly made.

Mm-hmm.

So is that what he did
for two days,

clean the house?

We let the housekeeper go

when I was forced
to take a sabbatical last year.

Are you angry about that?

Angry? I don't have
the energy for that anymore.

How are you keeping up
with everything?

The girls and I
do the best we can.

Judy liked an orderly house,

and I keep hoping that she'll
walk back through that door.

You just did laundry
but only your clothes.

I was wondering,
did you do that

before or after
you called 911?

I did it when I woke up
in the morning,

before I knew
the girls were missing.

Mr. Morrison, you understand
that we can only help you

if you tell us
everything that happened.

Katie was asleep
when Sera came home late.

She said that she drove slow
because of the rain.

That's all I remember.

Oh, and I was watching
basketball.

And then?

I went to bed, I guess.

It's happened before.

I can't explain it, but the next
thing I know, it's morning.

And I could feel
that something was wrong.

Sera, you're late!

Katie, Sera,
your alarm's going off.

Did you oversleep?

Girls!

Girls!

Sera.

Girls?

Katie?

Girls!

Katie! Sera!

911. What's your emergency?

Oh, my God.

Hello?
What's your emergency?

Is anyone there? Hello? Sir?

They're gone.
My girls are gone.

I need your help.

I just--I can't stand here
and do nothing.

I have Judy's sister
coming in.

We have to find the girls.

How much longer do you
need to be standing here.

Shouldn't we be
out there looking?

Hello.

Hi, Karen.

No, nothing yet.

All right, thanks.

So, he does own
a 12-gauge shotgun.

The police catalogued it
a year ago.

But ballistics proved that
it hadn't been fired in years.

Where is it now?

He claims he doesn't know,
but I'm not finished.

He also bought a used .38
just after Judy's disappearance,

and now he claims he doesn't know
where that is either.

Well, if he used it,
it might explain

why he threw his clothes
in the wash this morning.

So the clothes
would be compromised.

He did sleep in here, though.

We should have these sheets
tested for gunshot residue.

Excuse me.
Uh, excuse me.

Will you bag
the sheets, please?

There's some muddy boots
by the back door.

We should test those, too.

Well, it appears he still
sleeps on his side of the bed.

Look at that.

His wife's things
haven't been cleaned out.

Maybe he really
is in mourning.

Our analyst is checking
phone logs.

We did the same last year,

but it's like Judy Morrison
just vanished.

I couldn't even find her
phone or appointment book

to see who her last
meetings were with.

Take a look at this.

When does recycling
get picked up?

Monday mornings.

So these are new.

Last year he said
he was in recovery

but had fallen off the wagon
because of Judy's affair.

He hasn't mentioned
this at all.

I always thought he was drinking
more than he admitted.

Wondered if he was
popping pills, too,

but we could never find
any evidence.

Well, let's go ask him.

Mr. Morrison,

did the girls leave often
without you knowing?

No. Look, I've told you
everything.

I gotta ask you, are two bottles
of bourbon a normal Monday night?

It wasn't really two.

There was only a little bit
left in the first one.

It was a rough day.

Monday was the year anniversary
of when Judy went missing.

You think
we don't know that?

There haven't been
many days this year

when I haven't been very aware
of your wife having gone missing.

What happened Monday?

Did it all come rushing back
and you just snapped?

No. I was sad
and I drank too much

because I miss my wife.

Honestly,
bourbon doesn't help much.

It helped you lose an entire day
from what I can tell.

Why don't we head upstairs.

Detective.

Look, I understand
that you're frustrated,

but you're not helping
yourself taking it out on him.

I thought this guy
was dirty a year ago,

and now it's happened again.

There are no bodies,
no evidence,

no nothing but my gut
and 25 years of police work.

Hey, baby girl.

Have you found them yet?

I'm about to join
the search.

Good. Okay. I don't know
the location of Katie's cell,

which means the battery's dead,
but I pulled phone records

for both the girls,
and holy cannoli,

they text more than I do.
More Sera than Katie, but still...

Anything suspicious?

It looks like just friendly,
rapid-fire repeat numbers,

probably all known contacts.

Uh, last activity
was Monday at 9:55 p.m.

Well, that matches
the dad's story.

I'm wading through
the most used numbers first.

I will hit you back when
I know who's who.

I'm hanging up hard,
like the strength of my love.

Wow.

She had a lot of hobbies before
she started selling real estate.

Yeah, family projects.

Devoted mom.

You ready, Reid?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Do you mind if I ask you
a question.

He killed them,
too, did he?

Sorry?

Did that son of a bitch
hurt his daughters?

Sir, how well
do you know the family?

They moved in
when we did.

My wife always liked
his wife.

And you and Mr. Morrison?

Got nothing in common
with that drunk.

Told me he was gonna
shoot my dog.

I used to let my girls, you know,
roam around the yard here.

They'd bark occasionally,
but never too long.

And then one night
that idiot comes out,

hammered,

and he tells me
that he can't work

because
my dog's yapping.

And then he says
he wouldn't be surprised

if one of them
was found dead.

The man is nuts.

The Morrison girls
were last seen Monday night.

Did you see them at all?

No. But Morrison sounded
drunk and belligerent again.

It was about 10:00.

He didn't tell you that,
did he?

Were both cars home?

Well, I'm not spying
on the guy or anything,

but we were out here
a little later.

I noticed his car was gone.

Then when I turned
"Letterman" off,

it was back.

Why did you stop
going to your meetings?

I was two years sober.

Then Judy has this affair.

I guess I needed something,
so I started drinking again.

What would you do?

Your daughters testified that
you and Judy had had a fight

the night that she disappeared.

That's right. So?

And a neighbor heard an argument
here on Monday night.

Who told you that,
Chip Gordon?

He's a lonely old man.

And since when is having
an argument with teenagers

against the law?
It doesn't mean I hurt them.

Did you?

No!

Yeah, Morgan,
what do you got?

How much does the alcohol abuse
account for the time lost?

I don't know.

It doesn't mean
that I hurt my daughters.

Where are Katie and Sera?

I don't know!

Hotch.

Hey!

Sera could be close!

I want teams working
a 5-mile radius!

Keep working upstream!

Get those dogs working!

5 miles down!

We found Katie's body
in the reeds.

It's near, uh...

I don't really know
which river this is, Hotch.

Katie, Katie...

So what do you think?

I don't know.

He's sober,
so this is raw emotion.

He lost his legs
when Hotch told him.

The tears could be guilt
as much as grief.

Because that's what
we're supposed to do

when given that news.

I don't mean
to sound so cynical,

but the man writes fiction.

Any sign of Sera?

Maybe she's still
out there.

Doubtful, unless
she's found shelter.

It's supposed to be
in the 20s tonight.

Now that we've got
Katie's body,

we should run scenarios

for what really happened
on Monday night.

That was the lab. Bruce
definitely fired a gun at some point.

There's residue on the sheets
and on the boots.

We need to get him
to the station.

Biotic decomposition
is slower in the winter months,

and since her body wasn't
immersed in the river,

it wasn't deteriorated,

so I can tell you a little
more than I thought.

Sorry.

I knew Katie.

She and my daughter
were in class together.

We're sorry.

Me, too.

She was killed between
24 and 48 hours ago.

C.O.D. is blunt force trauma
to the squama of the occipital bone.

Like from the butt
of a gun?

That's possible.

So she was found near the
river but she didn't drown?

No fluid in her lungs.

The water was only
a method of disposal.

Her nails have traces of
skin packed under them.

So we need to look for
defensive wounds on her father.

Mr. Morrison, I need to ask you
to roll up your sleeves.

What?

Please.

I saw these in the shower
this morning when I woke up.

I have no idea
how I got them.

Did they happen
during the fight?

It wasn't a fight.
It was just parenting.

Did the detective tell you
about Jeff Godwin?

You should talk to him.

He still coaches
Sera's soccer team,

even though it's ridiculous.

Every time I ask you
a question,

you have this habit of deflecting
attention onto someone else.

All of her latest writing
assignments are very dark.

Yeah, I saw those, too. I'm sure
it's part of her mom's absence.

Well, she's had her fair share
of suffering.

All right, so you think
she's alive.

Yeah, I have to.

If losing her mother
didn't change everything...

I know losing her sister
certainly will.

I didn't know.

How old were you
when your sister died?

11.

She was 17.

Go ahead, Garcia.

I think I may have found
something creepy.

There's a bunch of text
messages between Sera

and a number that I have
traced back to Jeff Godwin.

Why would your missing
mother's ex-lover stay in touch?

More than a little
inappropriate.

And here's a text
from J.G.

Please tell me
there was nothing strange

going on between him
and the daughter.

It seems more fatherly.
Listen to this.

"It's gonna be okay.
You just have to stay strong.

Is he encouraging her
to leave?

Or for her to face
her father in some way?

Well, what about
the texts on Monday?

There aren't any.

The latest were from
Sunday night.

No, no, no, yes, there are.
I'm looking at the phone records.

There's texts between them
on Monday between 5:23 and 5:56 p.m.

Weird.

Yeah.

Hey, Blake.

Morgan we need you
to find Jeff Godwin.

Uh, he just walked in.

He did?

Says he heard we found Katie
and he's worried about Sera.

He also texted Sera
the night she went missing

and then deleted the texts.

It looks like
they texted a lot.

Really?

Mr. Godwin, why did you
feel it was appropriate

to regularly text
a 17-year-old girl?

I've know those girls
for a long time,

way before anything happened
between me and their mother.

Look, I coach Sera.

You didn't think to request a different
team, given the circumstances?

No. My daughter
plays on the team.

Look, Sera reached out to me
Monday night.

God knows she needs
a father figure.

Maybe the man her mother
had an affair with.

Might not be the best
person to offer that.

Look, I just came in here
because I heard about Katie

and I was worried about Sera.
Don't treat me like a criminal.

Sera deleted texts
that the two of you shared

the same day
she disappeared.

Hey, wait, okay.
They're all here.

We agreed to meet
in the parking lot

of a convenience store
on Route 113.

Read them. Go ahead.

Is this a regular thing
for you?

Well, we've met there
a couple times recently,

when she was really scared

about what was happening
with her and her dad.

What was happening?

Bruce gets really violent
when he drinks,

and it's been getting worse.

Sera had every reason
to be terrified.

I mean, look what happened.

Is everyone there?

Um, this call came in
on Monday.

It was made on Katie's
cell, which is still MIA.

The only 800 number she called
was to a local abuse hotline.

She called there a few times
in the last couple of months.

My name is Katie Morrison.
I called last week.

Yes, Katie, I remember you.

He's at it again.
He's just going crazy.

He's really drunk.

Katie, are you safe?

Yes. Hold on.

Hi, it's Sera. We're okay.
I can handle this.

Who are they taking to?

Girls, open the door!

I don't understand.

Katie, open the door.

Just stop now!

I said open the door!

It's a lay-up.

Off the rim...

Have you even talked
to Katie today?

Shh...
Are you serious, Dad?

You are such
a pathetic father.

Get out of my way!

Girls, open the door!

Katie?

Open the door.

I said open the door!

I said open the door!

Oh, my God.

What a pathetic little crybaby.

Ugh. I was always right
about you, huh?

So you got old Brucie
in a cage, huh?

You think
that's gonna help?

It's only gonna make him
hide longer.

What do you want to know?

I'm gonna have to tell you
'cause the baby's got his pacifier.

Where's Sera?

She's learning a lesson.

What did you do to them?

What did you do to them?

I scared them, that's all.
They needed it.

Why?

Because they're spoiled,
ungrateful little bitches

who walk all over him
any chance they get.

What happened to Bruce?

He's hiding, of course.

See...

When he can't handle it,
I save his ass.

Bruce's problem is,

he can't handle anything.

He could be a psychopath,
but dual personality?

If that's true, where
was that guy a year ago?

These conditions have triggers.

His accelerated drinking
could have agitated it.

With all due respect,
I don't buy it.

The guys knows
he's dead meat

and this is an easy way
to cop an insanity plea.

I hear you, but we need to see
if he's got markers

for a dissociative
identity disorder.

You do what you need
to do. I think it's a waste of time.

So Bruce said Katie
baked cookies Monday night.

We found them in the
kitchen, so that's true.

And two of Sera's
friends confirmed

she never made it
to her study group.

That's because Jeff Godwin
was in the parking lot

with her from 8:15 to 9:30.

And the girls called
the hotline at 9:58.

Detective, have your officers
found either gun?

No, but we've increased the search,
given where Katie's body was found.

We've got residue, but we don't
know which gun or where it is now.

Look, whoever
that was in there

said he wanted to scare them,
not hurt them.

Katie was beaten over the head
in the middle of nowhere.

You're right. The alter
could have lost his temper,

or it could have just been
a horrible accident.

But getting the girls
out of the house was planned.

He said he wanted to scare them
and had a gun to do it.

And then he drove them
somewhere.

Bruce's car had the same mud
on the driver's side floor

that he had on his boots,
but there wasn't any in the backseat.

So 3 people drove somewhere,
but only he came back.

And the DNA coming back
from Katie's nails

will tell us
what we already know--

that Bruce Morrison did this.
So can I arrest him now?

Detective, you have sufficient
evidence to make the arrest,

but we still
don't have Sera.

Give us an hour and maybe
he'll tell us where she is.

It's your call,
but he could still help us.

Ok. One hour.

What happened?

What do you remember?

You played me some tape
of the girls, and then I don't know.

When did your
blackouts start?

In grad school.

There was a lot of pressure
and I'd drink.

I feel like
I'm losing my mind.

I couldn't do that.

Please tell me
I didn't do that.

There's no way for us
to confirm a D.I.D. diagnosis yet,

but we do know that he has
chronic alcoholism,

which can and has gone
hand in hand with it.

The interesting thing is,
his liver and pancreas

wouldn't have survived
30 years of that kind of abuse,

so there must have been years
where he's gotten help.

He was in a program.

It would have to be
more than that. Garcia,

has he ever been on medication
to help curb his drinking?

All I've got is a yearly
physical and that is it.

D.I.D. usually stems
from a history of sexual abuse.

Okay, well, I've got nothing
like that.

All I have no Bruce Morrison is that
his mother died when he was 10...

There's your
abandonment issue.

And he was raised by a single
alcoholic father,

and there's no evidence
of any prescriptions.

They look like
the perfect family,

but she would have had to know
about his drinking when they got married.

So you're saying
she helped manage him

and kept his problem a secret.

Maybe she was the one
that got the prescription.

Garcia, can you run
her medical history?

Yeah. Hold on...

Okay. Disulfiram.

Am I saying that right?
It's for chronic alcoholism.

She had a 90-day supply
delivered 4 times a year

for as long as I can tell.

And it stopped coming
a few months ago.

It makes you just feel nauseous
if you drink alcohol.

But she isn't the one who had
a drinking problem. He is.

Garcia, who canceled it?

Please hold while I dig.

Could that be the trigger?

He goes after his daughters
now that he's off his meds?

That instability
could work for us.

Hey, I--I didn't--

hey, I didn't agree to this.

Well, we're looking
for Sera,

and you're the last ones
to see her alive.

Look, like I told
your guy here,

I had nothing to do with this.
And Sera's afraid of him.

Do you want to tell us
about your relationship with Sera?

I don't have one.

Well, that's strange.

Why do you text her
all the time, then?

Jeff, it's not
that big of a leap.

You couldn't have Judy
anymore, so you thought...

Why not? Sera looks
just like her mom.

Stop! Back up! Back up!

I'm gonna kill
that son of a bitch!

Get him out!
Get him out now.

Easy!

Judy was gonna leave my boy
for that scumbag.

What's your name?

What's your name?

I'm Jennifer.

Your turn.

My name is Johnny and I
need a cigarette, Jennifer.

Well, I might be able
to help you out there.

I'm sure you're stressed.

Oh, I'm not.

I just want a smoke.

Johnny, come on.

I know these teenage girls
stress you out,

no matter what you say.

I mean, how do you
deal with it?

Do you like to, um...

go out and shoot something?

Sometimes.

But I don't get
much chance to do that.

Oh, I thought you did
have a chance recently.

I think you did.

Now, you know, I'm just--
I'm just curious.

And then I'll go get you
that cigarette.

I like you, Jennifer.

So...

You took the girls
somewhere to scare them.

Somewhere quiet

and isolated...

Near the water?

I didn't do anything
but scare 'em.

Of course not.

Do you have a place
by the river?

Pretty and smart.

It's not my place.

It's not anybody's
place anymore.

I've taken them
out there before, but this time,

I got their attention.

Sera!

Sera!
Sera!

Sera!

Sera!

Sera!

Sera!

Sera!

Sera!

Here's a shotgun blast.

Katie's phone.
It's dead.

Sera could still
be out there somewhere.

We gotta keep looking.

Morgan, stop, stop.

Sera?

Sera, we're with the FBI.

It's okay.

Put the gun down.

Sera, I know you don't
feel like talking,

but if you think you can,
there's some things

I need to know, and I can't ask
anyone else but you.

He killed my mother, too,
didn't he?

It's hard to say

unless we find
her body.

I want to talk to him.
Would that be okay?

Of course.

Will you come with me?

Mm-hmm.

Let's get you warmed up
first, okay?

There you go.

Are you a mom?

Mm-hmm.

Mine used to wrap me
in this quilt

that she made
before I was born.

She said she always knew
it would be for her little girl.

I miss her.

I'm so sorry.

Dad, you need help.

Did I do that?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What can I do?

They say that if you just
tell them where mom is

that this will all just be--

But I don't know.
You know I don't know.

She didn't
just disappear, Dad.

Oh, God, you killed her,
didn't you?

No. No, I didn't.

How am I supposed
to believe you?

This. This is what
you've done.

You have hurt us all
for a long time.

No, don't, Sera. Don't go.

Sera...

The detective said my aunt
was coming. Which one?

Karen. She's driving in
from Charleston.

Are you cold?

A little bit.
The thermostat's right there.

Okay.

It should warm up soon.

Think you'll be able
to sleep?

Yeah, I want a shower first.

Okay.

Um, sure you're gonna
be okay up there?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Okay.

Um, I could make us
some tea.

That'd be really nice.
Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I don't know.
I'm not sure.

She's just...too casual

and almost cold
since we got here.

It could be the shock.

I know, but she's composed
at the same time.

She has not mentioned
Katie to me, even once,

since we got here.

I couldn't walk into my house
after my sister died,

let alone
walk past her room.

Well, what do you think,
JJ, Sera pulled it off?

I certainly think it may be
a possibility.

It's a very detailed plan.

What, she knew about her father's
condition and took advantage of it?

She set up character witnesses
like Jeff Godwin

to back up her fear.

Sera!

She even got her little
sister to make calls to a hotline.

He's at it again.
He's just going crazy.

She manipulated us
from the minute we found her.

Her writing
suggested no empathy

and no real emotional
connection to family.

Psychopathic
tendencies.

Her wounds
are more than superficial,

but they could be
self-inflicted, right, JJ?

Honey, I know. Mommy is sorry that
she's not home tonight, okay?

But Amy's there with you
and I promise I will

be home as soon as I can.

You okay?
I didn't hear the shower.

Yeah. I just wanted
my tea.

Oh, um, I was gonna bring it to you,
but it should be ready.

Uh, yeah, I'm still here.

We'll be right there.
Stay on the phone.

Mommy's gotta go.

I want Hotch to see
the video of Sera.

Garcia, did you ever find out
who canceled his prescription?

Uh, it turns out to cancel
one of those lifelong prescriptions,

you actually have to put it in writing,
and according to the company records,

it was canceled by
an S. Morrison.

Why did you have to
come down here?

We've been looking for that.

It's an old house.
I know the best hiding places.

But you, what do you
think you know?

You put everything that went missing
with your mother

inside this box.

1999.

Maybe my dad did it.

No. Now, you chose this box
because it's the year Katie was born

and everything changed.

She was your little sister.

Katie ruined everything
and my mother let her.

Your mother loved you.

Well, she loved Katie more.

I should have cried
for Katie.

I guess there's some things
I just can't fake.

You won't do it.

You need to back up--now.

I can say
my trauma kicked in.

PTSD.

I saw you with the gun
and I didn't know what else to do.

You thought of everything.

Sera, put the gun down.

No, no, you don't understand.

She has a gun.
She was going to hurt me.

No. No, Sera, it's okay.

Listen to me.

I understand.

It's okay, Sera.

She wasn't gonna
hurt you.

I know. You've been
through enough.

All right? I get it.

Sera, you're safe now.

Okay?

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you doing?!

You're a smart girl, Sera.
Figure it out.

No, stop it!
I swear, please!

No, I swear to you,
she was trying to hurt me!

Please stop.
Please, let me go.

Let me go. No, you don't understand.
Please listen.

February 4th.
The day Judy went missing.

Trophies. If Detective Friedman
had ever found it,

she would have pinned it
all on Bruce.

Alan Lightman said,

"the tragedy of this world
is that no one is happy,

whether stuck in a time
of pain...or joy."
