Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 8 - De Los Inocentes - full transcript
When a woman who is vacationing with her family in Mexico vanishes and is later found dead. The team goes to investigate because the police assume the husband did it. Jack tries to convince the investigator to let them investigate. Jack questions the father and while he doesn't think he killed his wife, he thinks the man is keeping something from them. The man bolts and goes to see someone so they follow him and they find him with a woman. He later explains who she is and that he thought she killed his wife but when they clear her. They're back to square one. And the man is thrown in prison. So they need to prove his innocence because he might not survive the prison. So Jack tells Clara to talk to the man's children evidently one of them saw someone in the room when their mother vanished. And being in Mexico is poignant for Clara because her husband died in Miexico.

GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR CALLING.
Daniel: HELP! SOMETHING
HAPPENED TO MY WIFE.
THERE'S BLOOD.
I WAS IN THE DEN.
I WOKE UP
AND WENT TO CHECK ON MY WIFE.
OH, GOD.
MR. WOLF, I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST
WE MOVE YOUR CHILDREN BACK
TO THE MAIN BUILDING FOR BOTH
THEIR SAFETY AND COMFORT.

-WHERE'S MOMMY?!
WE'RE GONNA FIND HER,

WHY WOULDN'T I BE?
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE.
IT'S MEXICO.
WELL, IT'S A BIG
COUNTRY, JACK.
YES, IT IS,
IT'S A BIG COUNTRY
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN
DELIBERATELY AVOIDING
SINCE BRAD'S DEATH.
LOOK, I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONCERN.
I REALLY DO.
BUT, NOW,
I'M BACK IN THE IRT
AND, THE FACT
OF THE MATTER IS
I WAS BOUND TO FACE THIS
SITUATION, SOONER OR LATER.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE
YOUR BACK, ALWAYS?
MM, THAT'S WHY
I'M GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
HOLA, MIS AMIGOS.
HERE'S NEWS FROM SOUTH
OF THE BORDER,
DOWN MEXICO WAY.
JESSICA WOLF, AGE 36,
A GRAPHIC DESIGNER
FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS,
IS ON VACATION
WITH HER HUSBAND, DANIEL,
A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT;
AND THEIR TWO KIDS:
RYAN, 11; AND MEGAN, 9.
THEY'RE STAYING
AT A BEACHFRONT VILLA
AT THE LAS CASITAS
DEL PACIFICO RESORT.
AT 4:12 AM LOCAL TIME,
DANIEL REPORTED HIS WIFE,
JESSICA, MISSING.
THERE WERE INDICATIONS
OF VIOLENCE,
AND $4,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY
WAS STOLEN, HOWEVER,
A CANVAS OF THE RESORT'S
PROPERTY TURNED UP NOTHING.
THEN, AT 11:47 AM,
A BODY WASHED ASHORE
AT COBRA COVE,
ABOUT 5 MILES SOUTH
OF LAS CASITAS.
JESSICA WOLF WAS A U.S. CITIZEN
MURDERED ON MEXICAN SOIL,
SO, OUR CONSULATE GENERAL
IN JUAREZ
HAS REQUESTED THE IRT's HELP
WITH THE IMPENDING
HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION.
WHICH WON'T BE MADE ANY
EASIER BY THE FACT THAT
PUERTA DE SANTOS DOES
NOT HAVE A POLICE FORCE.
USUALLY,
RESORTS LIKE LAS CASITAS
ENLIST THE SERVICE
OF A PRIVATE SECURITY FIRM.
IN THIS CASE,
IT'S A U.S.-BASED COMPANY
CALLED PLN INTERNATIONAL.
THEY SECURED THE VILLA
AND THE BEACH SITE
UNTIL THE MEXICAN
FEDERAL POLICE ARRIVED
AND THEY ARE ON THE SCENE NOW.
Mae: WE CAN'T TELL MUCH
FROM THESE PHOTOS,
BUT THE SHEETS THAT ARE WRAPPED
AROUND JESSICA'S BODY
LOOK LIKE A CRUDE
FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE,
A WAY TO SPIRIT A BODY
OFF THE GROUNDS
WITHOUT RAISING MUCH SUSPICION.
WELL, IF $4,000
IN JEWELRY WAS TAKEN,
THEN, BURGLARY COULD'VE
BEEN A PRIMARY MOTIVE.
JESSICA'S MURDER COULD'VE
BEEN AN IMPULSIVE ACT.
YEAH, BUT DON'T YOU THINK
BREAKING INTO A HOTEL VILLA
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
IS A PRETTY PROVOCATIVE ACT,
EVEN FOR A DESPERATE BURGLAR?
IT'S POSSIBLE
JESSICA WAS TARGETED.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
-I'D LIKE TO KNOW
WHERE DANIEL WOLF WAS
WHEN ALL THIS WENT DOWN.
WHERE WERE HIS KIDS?
WHAT DID THEY SEE AND HEAR?
-I WISH I COULD TELL YOU, BUT,
ASIDE FROM HIS
INITIAL STATEMENT,
DANIEL STOPPED
COOPERATING WITH POLICE
AS SOON AS HIS CHILDREN
WERE TAKEN
INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY
AS MATERIAL WITNESSES.
OUR JOB NOW IS TO GET
DOWN THERE AND ASSIST THE MFP
WHILE ALSO PROTECTING
DANIEL'S CIVIL RIGHTS,
REGARDLESS OF HIS GUILT
OR INNOCENCE.
NOT TO RUSH TO JUDGMENT,
BOSS,
BUT WHAT I JUST DUG UP
ON THIS GUY
IS STRAIGHT OUT OF
THE SHADY-HUSBAND PLAYBOOK.
TAKE A LOOK.
[BEEP]
A YEAR AGO, DANIEL'S CONSULTING
FIRM FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY.
EIGHT MONTHS LATER,
JESSICA FILED FOR DIVORCE,
AND THEN SHE WITHDREW
THE FILING A MONTH LATER.
BUT HERE'S THE KICKER:
30 DAYS AGO,
DANIEL TOOK OUT AN INSURANCE
POLICY ON HIS WIFE,
SO, NOW, THIS DUDE
IS LINE TO COLLECT --
WAIT FOR IT --
$1 MILLION.
-[WHISTLE]
THE FACT IS THAT
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA KNOW
IF DANIEL WOLF IS PLAYING
THE GRIEVING HUSBAND
IS BY GETTING DOWN THERE AND
TALKIN' TO HIM FACE-TO-FACE.
WELL, WHAT IF HE REFUSES
TO TALK TO US?
WHAT IF HE REFUSES TO TALK
TO THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO CAN PROTECT HIS BEST
INTERESTS, HIS CIVIL RIGHTS?
WELL, THAT'LL TELL US SOMETHING
ABOUT HIM, THEN, WON'T IT?

[ GUITAR PLAYS ]
UNIT CHIEF GARRETT.
I'M CONSUL GENERAL
PATRICK HILLIS.
IT'S A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU.
THIS IS MR. RAYMOND WRIGHT.
HE'S REPRESENTING
DANIEL WOLF
AND HIS FAMILY.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
THIS IS MY TEAM --
LOOK, I'M SORRY, BUT,
PLEASANTRIES ASIDE,
I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED
THAT EVERY MOMENT
THE MFP IS FOCUSED
ON MY CLIENT AS A SUSPECT
IS A MOMENT WASTED ON
FINDING THE REAL KILLER.
MR. WRIGHT, PLEASE.
THE IRT...
CAN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT
THE CRIME SCENES
HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED
BY HOTEL EMPLOYEES
AND CAN'T CHANGE
THE FACT THAT
EXPEDIENCY TRUMPS JUSTICE
IN THE MEXICAN LEGAL SYSTEM.
I THOUGHT IT WAS MY YOUTH
AND INEXPERIENCE
THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.
JUST GETTING TO THAT,
MISS RUIZ.
THAT'S CHIEF INSPECTOR RUIZ
TO YOU, SEÑOR WRIGHT.
TO ALL OF YOU.
-UNIT CHIEF GARRETT.
AGENTS SEGER,
SIMMONS, AND JARVIS.
LOOK, I WON'T LIE TO YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU HERE.
THIS IS MY CASE AND YOU BEING
HERE COMPLICATES MY LIFE
AND I DON'T LIKE COMPLICATIONS.
I LIKE EVERYTHING
MUY FáCIL.
BUT MY BOSSES IN THE CAPITAL
THINK THAT THE FBI'S COOPERATION
WILL HELP ME, SO,
PLEASE, FOLLOW ME.
Man: HOMBRES, NECESITO --
EN LA PLAYA AHORA.
CI RUIZ, ARE YOU THE ONLY
OFFICER ASSIGNED TO THIS CASE?
SEE? THIS IS WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
MR. WRIGHT, I UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERN, BUT, RIGHT NOW,
YOU NEED TO BE SEEN,
NOT HEARD.
YES, I'M THE ONLY MFP OFFICER
ASSIGNED TO THIS CASE,
BUT MY BOSSES
GAVE ME PERMISSION
TO DEPUTIZE THE LAS CASITAS
SECURITY STAFF.
THEY'RE U.S.-TRAINED,
SO PROBABLY
A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN MFP,
DON'T YOU THINK?
SO, HOW DO YOU THINK
SOMEBODY MANAGED
TO TAKE JESSICA WOLF
OFF THE PROPERTY
WITHOUT BEIN' PICKED UP
ON ONE
OF THESE SECURITY CAMERAS?
-THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
JESSICA'S KILLER
KNOWS THE LAY OF THE LAND.
AND YOUR CLIENT
FITS THAT DESCRIPTION.
HE NEEDS TO START
ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS.
HE'LL ANSWER QUESTIONS WHEN
YOU LET HIM SEE HIS CHILDREN.
HIS CHILDREN
ARE MATERIAL WITNESSES.
THEY'RE SCARED,
SO THEY HAVEN'T TALKED --
OF COURSE THEY'RE SCARED.
THEY LOST THEIR MOTHER
AND THEIR FATHER'S BEING
KEPT FROM THEM.
HOLD ON.
I HAVE A SOLUTION HERE.
AGENT SEGER HAS YEARS
OF EXPERTISE
TAKING WITNESS STATEMENTS
FROM MINORS.
SHE'LL BE ABLE TO PUT
THE CHILDREN AT EASE
AND GET TO THE TRUTH.
I ALSO THINK DANIEL MIGHT BE
MORE COMFORTABLE TALKIN' TO ME.
DANIEL WILL AGREE
TO THAT.
LIKE I SAID,
MUY FáCIL.
ONE OF YOU IS
A CORONER, RIGHT?
A MEDICAL
EXAMINER, YES.
WE WERE GOING TO TRANSPORT
THE BODY TO MEXICO CITY
FOR AN AUTOPSY.
COULD YOU DO IT HERE?
THEY DON'T JUST
BRING ME ALONG
FOR MY GOOD TASTE
AND MY SENSE OF HUMOR.
I'D LIKE AGENT SIMMONS TO WALK
THROUGH THE VILLA CRIME SCENE.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT,
AS LONG AS I GET TO CHAPERONE.
OKAY.
LET'S GO TO WORK.
SO YOU'RE WITH THE FBI?
YES. I'M HERE TO HELP,
DANIEL.
THEY FOUND JESSICA.
THEY WON'T LET ME SEE HER.
WON'T EVEN LET ME SEE
MY OWN KIDS.
WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG
WITH THESE PEOPLE?
I KNOW THIS IS DIFFICULT,
BUT THE BEST WAY
TO HELP YOURSELF
ND YOUR FAMILY IS
TO JUST TALK TO ME.
WHERE WERE YOU
LAST NIGHT?
JESSICA WASN'T
FEELING WELL.
SHE WANTED TO STAY
IN THE VILLA
WHILE I TOOK THE KIDS
SOUVENIR HUNTING.
WE GOT BACK LATE,
AFTER MIDNIGHT.
KIDS CRASHED ON THE COUCH.
I DIDN'T WANT
TO DISTURB JESSICA, SO,
I WENT TO THE DEN,
FELL ASLEEP.
I WOKE UP AT 4:00.
I CHECKED ON HER.
AND THAT'S --
THAT'S WHEN I FOUND
THE BLOOD
AND JEWELRY BOX
TOSSED ON THE FLOOR.
I-I CALLED FOR HELP.
NOBODY TOLD ME THERE'S
NO POLICE IN THIS DAMN TOWN
AND THAT IT'D TAKE AN HOUR
FOR THEM TO GET HERE.
ALL THAT WASTED TIME.
DID YOU ACCOUNT
FOR EVERY GUARD
WHO WAS PRESENT
AT THIS SCENE?
DID YOU TAKE THEIR PRINTS
AS EXEMPLARS?
LIKE I SAID, ALL
WELL-TRAINED IN THE U.S.
THEY KNOW HOW TO FILL OUT
THE CORRECT
INCIDENT REPORTS.
WELL, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW
TO PRESERVE A CRIME SCENE
OR COLLECT EVIDENCE.
YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I DO
THIS SCENE IS COMPROMISED.
AGENT SIMMONS,
YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I DO
YOUR RULES OF EVIDENCE
AREN'T THE SAME AS MINE.
BESIDES, SAVED THE BEST
FOR LAST.
[ EERIE MUSIC PLAYS ]
WELL, THAT LOOKS LIKE
AT LEAST 2 LITERS
OF BLOOD.
MAYBE 3.
A LETHAL LOSS OF BLOOD.
JESSICA WASN'T JUST
ASSAULTED HERE.
SHE DIED IN THIS ROOM
AND SOMEONE TRIED,
NOT SO GOOD,
TO COVER IT UP,
MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
A BURGLARY GONE WRONG.
MAY I LOOK
AT YOUR CELLPHONE?
WHAT?
YOUR CELLPHONE.
MAY I SEE IT?
WHY?
WELL, IT MAY HAVE
DIGITAL INFORMATION ON IT
THAT COULD SUPPORT
YOUR ALIBI.
I-I LOST IT.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE,
ON THE BEACH,
DURING THE SEARCH.
LOOK.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU,
DANIEL.
BUT I KNOW YOUR CONSULTING
FIRM WENT BANKRUPT,
I KNOW JESSICA
FILED FOR DIVORCE,
AND I KNOW
SHE'S NOW WORTH
A MILLION DOLLARS,
NOW THAT SHE'S DEAD,
SO I NEED YOU
TO TELL ME THE TRUTH.
I DIDN'T KILL MY WIFE.
HOUSTON,
WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
IN PREPPING THE BODY
FOR AUTOPSY,
SOMEBODY WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO REMOVE THOSE SHEETS
THAT WERE WRAPPED
AROUND HER BODY.
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
NOTE TO FILE:
MUST FIND MISSING EVIDENCE.
ALL RIGHT, JESS.
HELP ME HELP YOU.
VICTIM SUSTAINED SEVERAL
DEFENSIVE WOUNDS
DURING THE ATTACK,
INCLUDING A SEVERE INCISED WOUND
TO THE PALMAR SURFACE
OF BOTH HANDS,
INDICATING THAT SHE GRASPED
THE BLADE OF THE WEAPON
DURING THE ATTACK.
SHE FOUGHT.
CAUSE OF DEATH IS
EXSANGUINATION,
DUE TO A SINGLE
SHARP-FORCE INJURY,
SEVERING THE ASCENDING AORTA.
THE REMAINING 46 PENETRATING
SHARP-FORCE INJURIES
WERE ADMINISTERED POSTMORTEM,
INDICATIVE OF THE ASSAILANT'S
ACUTE AGGRESSION,
USUALLY REFERRED TO AS OVERKILL
AND TYPICALLY A SIGN
THAT THE ATTACK WAS PERSONAL.

HAVE TO TALK TO ME,
OR ANYONE.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
YOU'RE SAFE.
YOU GUYS HUNGRY?
DO ME A FAVOR
AND ORDER ME A PIZZA.
YES, MA'AM.
SO, FOOD IS ON THE WAY.
OKAY?
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
YOU LET ME KNOW, ALL RIGHT?
DID DADDY HURT MOMMY?
[ MELANCHOLY TUNE PLAYS ]
WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?
MOM AND DAD,
THEY JUST YELLED.
A LOT.
JUST ON THIS TRIP,
OR WERE THEY FIGHTING
BEFORE THAT?
FOR A LONG TIME, BUT,
WE HOPED THIS TRIP
WOULD MAKE IT BETTER.
IT WASN'T.
IT WAS JUST WEIRD THAT
THEY WERE PRETENDING LIKE
NOTHING WAS GOING ON AND...
LIKE WE DIDN'T KNOW
SOMETHING WAS GOING ON.
IT WAS SO STUPID.
DID YOU EVER SEE
YOUR FATHER
BE ROUGH
WITH YOUR MOTHER?
YOU THINK
YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT YOU REMEMBER
FROM LAST NIGHT?
I DON'T REMEMBER
MUCH, JUST...
DAD WOKE US UP.
MOM WASN'T THERE.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, RYAN?
I-I REMEMBER
MY FATHER.
Jessica: DANIEL.

STANDING OVER ME.
IT WAS WEIRD AND --
AND I FELL ASLEEP AGAIN,
AND, LIKE MEG SAID,

MOM WAS GONE.

TO EXTEND

TO FELLOW LAW ENFORCEMENT,
BUT I'M NOT HERE
TO ASK FOR PERMISSION
TO ARREST DANIEL WOLF.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR
YOUR COURTESY, CI RUIZ.
IT'S JUST THAT
I'VE HAD THE CHANCE
TO SPEAK WITH DANIEL AND
COMPARE NOTES WITH MY TEAM
AND THERE ARE A FEW
PSYCHOLOGICAL
INCONSISTENCIES HERE.
IS THAT RIGHT?
TAKE DANIEL'S EXPRESSION
OF LOVE FOR HIS CHILDREN.
IT'S GENUINE.
IT'S VERY TELLING.
HIS BEHAVIOR
TOTALLY CONTRADICTS
MY ALL-IN THEORY.
ALL-IN THEORY?
PATRIARCHS WHO MURDER
THEIR WIVES
WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN
PRESENT
USUALLY FEEL COMPELLED
TO GO ALL-IN,
KILLING THE WHOLE FAMILY,
INCLUDING THEMSELVES.

AS AN ACT OF LOVE AND MERCY.
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN HERE.
WHY?

HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT EVIDENCE
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE
AND NOT EVEN SEE IT?!
-WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE
IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL.
IT'S HOW YOU'RE CHOOSING

AND LEAVING YOUR CHILDREN?
I WASN'T LEAVING
MY CHILDREN.
I'D NEVER ABANDON THEM.
THEY'RE ALL I HAVE LEFT
IN THIS WORLD.
LET'S TALK
ABOUT YOU AND DANIEL.
HOW LONG WERE YOU GUYS
HAVING AN AFFAIR?
TWO YEARS, I GUESS.
BUT I SWEAR,
AT THE TIME WHEN WE STARTED,
I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS MARRIED.
I WISH I COULD GO BACK
AND MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE.
AT THE TIME, I-I FELT
LIKE I NEEDED MORE,
LIKE I DESERVED MORE.
BUT YOU DID FIND OUT
HE WAS MARRIED EVENTUALLY,
RIGHT?
I DID.
HIS WIFE, SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT US
AROUND THAT SAME TIME, TOO.
SHE FILED FOR DIVORCE.
I BEGGED HER TO RECONSIDER,
IF NOT FOR US,
FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN.
I TOLD HER I'D BREAK IT OFF,
AND I DID.
HE COMES TO ME AND HE SAYS HE
NEEDS TO FIGHT FOR HIS FAMILY.
ALL THE PROMISES,
ALL THE PLANS WE MADE,
JUST GONE,
THROWN AWAY LIKE GARBAGE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
LIED TO YOU BEFORE.
I-I WASN'T
THINKING STRAIGHT.
I THOUGHT I COULD TALK TO LAURA,
CONVINCE HER TO --
CONVINCE HER TO DO WHAT,
DANIEL?
[ SIGHS ]
TO TELL THE TRUTH.
LAURA KILLED MY WIFE.
Clara: THE CAR
THAT YOU WERE DRIVING
WAS A RENTAL CAR
YOU PICKED UP IN FORT WORTH.
SO YOU DROVE 1,500 MILES
TO DO WHAT EXACTLY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WANTED TO COME DOWN HERE
AND BLOW UP HIS LIFE
LIKE HE HAD MINE.
PHONE RECORDS SAY YOU WERE
STILL IN TOUCH WITH LAURA
AND THAT YOU GAVE HER
ONE OF YOUR PHONES.
I WAS STILL JUGGLING.
I WAS HOPING THIS TRIP
WOULD FIX EVERYTHING.
THEN JESSICA FOUND OUT
THAT LAURA WAS CALLING ME.
WHAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW
IS THAT LAURA HAD FOLLOWED US
ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE.
GOT A MOTEL ROOM,
CALLED DAN A FEW TIMES,
AND THEN, AROUND MIDNIGHT,
I CALLED ONE MORE TIME.
YOU'RE GONNA MEET ME.
YOU'RE GONNA MEET ME
AT THE BOARDWALK IN AN HOUR.
I'M HEADED OVER THERE, OKAY?
AND I THREATENED HIM,
TOLD HIM I'D COME OVER
IF HE DIDN'T COME SEE ME.
SHE WANTED TO MEET ME
AT THE BOARDWALK.
I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
I HAD TO GO.
AND WHEN I HUNG UP THE PHONE,
I CAUGHT MY REFLECTION
IN THE MIRROR,
AND I DIDN'T EVEN
RECOGNIZE MYSELF.
I MEAN, HOW DID I BECOME
THIS CRAZY STALKER?
I FELT SO MUCH GUILT AND SHAME.
WASN'T EVEN LIKE
I DECIDED NOT TO SEE HIM.
I JUST PASSED OUT.
LAURA NEVER SHOWED UP.
I CALLED HER.
NEVER HEARD ANYTHING,
SO I WENT BACK TO THE VILLA.
WHAT TIME WAS THAT?
QUARTER AFTER 2:00
IN THE MORNING.
AND YOU DIDN'T THINK
TO CHECK ON JESSICA AT THE TIME?
I DID.
I CHECKED THE BEDROOM.
THE DOOR WAS LOCKED.
I FIGURED SHE WAS PISSED AT ME.
I GOT UP AT 4:00 A.M.
TO CHECK AGAIN.
THIS TIME,
THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED,
AND JESSICA WAS GONE.
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN
JEALOUS OF THAT WOMAN,
BUT I DIDN'T KILL HER.
I SWEAR I DIDN'T KILL
MY WIFE.
BUT IF YOU'RE ASKING ME
IF I THINK HE DID IT,
I WILL YOU TELL YOU
WITHOUT HESITATION
THAT, DANIEL,
HE'S CAPABLE OF ANYTHING
THAT HELPS DANIEL.
LAURA KNEW EXACTLY
HOW THIS WOULD LOOK.
SHE'S BEEN HELL-BENT
ON PUNISHING ME
FOR WHAT I DID TO HER.
AND I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE I DESERVE IT.
BUT MEGAN AND RYAN,
THEY DON'T DESERVE ANY OF THIS.

[ SIGHS ]
WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE, JACK?
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT I DON'T SEE.
I DON'T SEE DANIEL
STABBING HIS WIFE TO DEATH
WITH HIS CHILDREN
ONLY A FEW FEET AWAY.
EARLY IN MY CAREER,
I LEARNED TO SEE THE SCENE
AS THE KILLER DOES --
AT THE SAME HOUR,
UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.
AND THIS DOESN'T ADD UP.
SO YOU DON'T THINK
HE'S LYING NOW?
I THINK HIS LIES, AT FIRST,
WERE MEANT TO COVER UP
HIS AFFAIR WITH LAURA.
THEN THEY CONTINUED
OUT OF HIS SINCERE BELIEF
THAT SHE'D BECOME THE SCORNED
WOMAN AVENGING HER BROKEN HEART
BY KILLING HIS WIFE
AND FRAMING HIM FOR THE MURDER.
THAT MAY BE
WHAT HE BELIEVES,
BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT HAPPENED.
EVEN THOUGH HER PATTERNS SUGGEST
AN OBSESSIVE LOVE DISORDER,
HER PASSIONS TEND
TOWARDS DELIBERATE SELF-HARM
RATHER THAN
EXTERNALIZED RAGE.
PLUS, IF SHE'S NOT WORKING
WITH DANIEL,
SHE JUST WOULDN'T BE CAPABLE OF
WRAPPING UP JESSICA ON HER OWN,
CARRYING HER OFF THE PROPERTY,
THEN DUMPING HER IN THE OCEAN.
WHAT ABOUT
THAT INSURANCE POLICY?
MONTY'S INITIAL INFORMATION
CAME FROM THE COMPANY
THAT ISSUED THAT POLICY,
BUT DANIEL'S LAWYER
GOT ME IN TOUCH
WITH THE WOLFS' ESTATE PLANNER.
IT WAS JESSICA'S IDEA
TO PURCHASE THAT POLICY.
AND THAT, MY FRIENDS,
IS THE SOUND
OF MOTIVE

WHOLE THING THE WRONG WAY

BUT NOW WE HAVE TWO INNOCENT

YOU WANT ME
TO RELEASE THEM?
I'D LIKE YOU TO RELEASE THEM

OF THE INVESTIGATION.

WE GOT 'EM.
THEY DIDN'T KILL
JESSICA WOLF.
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?
BECAUSE YOU LOOKED INTO
THEIR EYES AND SAW THEIR SOULS?
EVERYTHING THAT'S DONE
OR LEFT AT A CRIME SCENE
ISN'T JUST A PIECE
OF EVIDENCE.
IT'S A PIECE
OF THE OFFENDER HIMSELF.
MY TEAM'S JOB
IS TO PUT THOSE PIECES TOGETHER,
CREATE A PROFILE
OF THAT PERSON.
YEAH, IN THIS CASE,
THAT PROFILE DOES NOT FIT
LAURA HAYES OR DANIEL WOLF.

OR WISHFUL THINKING?
BECAUSE I ALSO KNOW IT'S
YOUR JOB TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
LOOK, WE'RE THE ONES EXTENDING

WE CAN HAVE
THE SAME CONVERSATION
WITH YOUR SUPERIORS

WE COULD.
BUT EVEN IF THEY AGREED
WITH YOU,
IT'S OUT OF THEIR HANDS.

WILL NOW DECIDE THE FATE

THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST
SOME WAY TO TRANSFER THEM
OUT OF PLAYA DIABLO.
NO.
IN FACT, IN 24 HOURS,
THEY'LL BE LET

THEY SAY THE PUNISHMENT
FITS THE CRIME, AGENT GARRETT.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO BREAK THEM
OUT OF JAIL, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS BRING THE PROSECUTOR

RESTARTING THIS INVESTIGATION
WITHOUT THE MFP's COOPERATION
IS GONNA BE CHALLENGING,
BUT, MAE,

SO I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO TRACK DOWN THOSE SHEETS
THAT WERE WRAPPED
AROUND THE BODY.

I ASSUMED THAT THEY WERE
BED SHEETS
THAT WERE TAKEN FROM THE VILLA.
THEY WEREN'T?
NO. A FANCY PLACE LIKE THIS
KEEPS REALLY TIDY RECORDS,
AND ALL SHEETS AND OTHER SORT
OF LINENS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR,
WHICH MEANS THAT THE KILLER
BROUGHT THE SHEETS WITH HIM.
OKAY, SO WHERE ARE WE

I CAN HEAD BACK TO THE PLANE

SAW IN THE KILLER'S HAND
WAS A CRUDE LATIN BLASPHEMY
OF THE TRUE CROSS.
TRUE CROSS --
WHAT PEOPLE REFER TO
AS THE PHYSICAL REMNANTS
OF THE CROSS
THAT JESUS
WAS CRUCIFIED ON.
EXACTLY.
AND IN THIS THEOLOGICAL CONTEXT,
I WAS THINKING
ABOUT HOW THE KILLER
WRAPPED THE BODY.
WHAT IF HE DIDN'T DO IT
AS A FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE?
WHAT IF HE DID IT
BECAUSE HE WAS ACTUALLY TRYING
TO MIMIC AN OLD
JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BURIAL CUSTOM?
YOU MEAN PREPPING THE BODY
WITH OIL
THEN SHROUDING IT
WITH CLOTH?
WELL, IF THAT'S TRUE,
THEN WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING
ABOUT SOMEONE
WITH REMORSE.
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SOMEONE --
SOMEONE WITH A SIGNATURE.
AND I THINK THIS SOMEONE
IS CAUGHT
BETWEEN FRENZIED
AGGRESSION,
THE MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS,
AND A MORE SERENE,
CONTEMPLATIVE RITUAL
OF PREPARING A BODY
FOR BURIAL.
YEAH.
BUT WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY
TALKING ABOUT
IS BURIAL IN THE GROUND
RITUALS,
NOT DUMPED AT SEA
LIKE JESSICA WAS.
YEAH.
WELL, THERE'S STILL
A LOT TO FILL IN.
BUT IF WE ARE RIGHT, THIS
ISN'T THIS UNSUB's FIRST RODEO.
OKAY, WELL,
I THINK THAT WE SHOULD SEE
WHAT MONTY CAN DIG UP.
So I cross-referenced our M.O.s,
and I got something --
Five more homicides taking place
across these
Latin-American resorts
all over the last five years --
all tourist families,
all taking place
on the same day.
WELL, THESE VICTIMS WERE MALE,
TEENS AND ADOLESCENTS,
THE FAMILY'S OLDEST
MALE CHILDREN.
DíA DE LOS INOCENTES.
JESSICA WASN'T
THE UNSUB's TARGET.
Uh, excuse me?
DíA DE LOS INOCENTES.
THAT IS WHAT ALL OF THIS
MEANS TO THE UNSUB.
WAIT. OUR UNSUB's OBSESSED
WITH MEXICO'S APRIL FOOLS' DAY?
TODAY, DíA DE LOS INOCENTES
IS AN EXCUSE TO PULL PRANKS.
BUT IT BEGAN HUNDREDS
OF YEARS AGO
AS A FEAST DAY
IN REMEMBRANCE
OF THE BIBLICAL MASSACRE
OF THE INNOCENTS BY KING HEROD.
HEROD ORDERED THE EXECUTION
OF ALL MALE CHILDREN UNDER 2
IN THE VICINITY OF BETHLEHEM
SO AS TO AVOID
LOSS OF HIS THRONE
TO THE COMING MESSIAH.
BUT IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
HE'S MIXING UP
BIBLICAL TRADITIONS HERE --
THE INNOCENTS AND PASSOVER.
AND ADAPTING HIS OWN
NARRATIVE LINE.
WHICH IS?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I DO KNOW
THAT JESSICA WAS MURDERED
BECAUSE SHE WALKED IN
ON THE UNSUB
AS HE WAS ABOUT TO ATTACK
HER SON, RYAN.

RIGHT, BUT IF RYAN
WAS THE REAL TARGET HERE,
THEN WHY DIDN'T THE UNSUB
GO AFTER HIM
AFTER HE FINISHED
WITH JESSICA?
BECAUSE DANIEL CAME BACK.
HE INTERRUPTED HIM AGAIN.
[ LOCK DISENGAGES ]
AND HE WAS ALREADY
OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE,
HAVING KILLED JESSICA.
THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO
WAS CLEAN UP HIS TRACKS,
CONFUSE THE CRIME SCENE.
OKAY.
SO LET'S DRAW IT UP.
OUR UNSUB
IS UNDOUBTEDLY MALE.
GIVEN HIS TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY
AND HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE,
HE IS MOST LIKELY
IN HIS 30s OR 40s.
HIGHLY EDUCATED, AND YET,
DUE TO SOCIALIZATION ISSUES,
HE'S MOST LIKELY A DROPOUT
OR SOMEONE
WHO WAS EXPELLED FROM COLLEGE,
MAYBE EVEN A SEMINARY OR CHURCH.
HE IS BOTH MOTIVATED AND
REPELLED BY HIS CONCEPT OF SIN,
WHICH SOMEHOW CORRELATES
TO HIS CHOSEN SURROGATES
AND SUGGESTS
THAT HE'S A GRIEF-INDUCED,
ANGER-RETALIATORY
NARCISSIST.
YOU KNOW,
IF THIS GUY REALLY THINKS
THAT HE'S SOME LATTER-DAY
KING HEROD MASSACRING MESSIAHS,
THEN MAYBE HE'S RETALIATING
AGAINST GOD HIMSELF.
WHICH COULD MEAN
OUR UNSUB's TRIGGER
WAS SOME KIND OF ACT OF GOD,
MAYBE EVEN ONE THAT TOOK
THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE.

HERE'S NEWS FROM SOUTH
OF THE BORDER,
DOWN MEXICO WAY.
JESSICA WOLF, AGE 36,
A GRAPHIC DESIGNER
FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS,
IS ON VACATION
WITH HER HUSBAND, DANIEL,
A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT;
AND THEIR TWO KIDS:
RYAN, 11; AND MEGAN, 9.
THEY'RE STAYING
AT A BEACHFRONT VILLA
AT THE LAS CASITAS
DEL PACIFICO RESORT.
AT 4:12 AM LOCAL TIME,
DANIEL REPORTED HIS WIFE,
JESSICA, MISSING.
THERE WERE INDICATIONS
OF VIOLENCE,
AND $4,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY
WAS STOLEN, HOWEVER,
A CANVAS OF THE RESORT'S
PROPERTY TURNED UP NOTHING.
THEN, AT 11:47 AM,
A BODY WASHED ASHORE
AT COBRA COVE,
ABOUT 5 MILES SOUTH
OF LAS CASITAS.
JESSICA WOLF WAS A U.S. CITIZEN
MURDERED ON MEXICAN SOIL,
SO, OUR CONSULATE GENERAL
IN JUAREZ
HAS REQUESTED THE IRT's HELP
WITH THE IMPENDING
HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION.
WHICH WON'T BE MADE ANY
EASIER BY THE FACT THAT
PUERTA DE SANTOS DOES
NOT HAVE A POLICE FORCE.
USUALLY,
RESORTS LIKE LAS CASITAS
ENLIST THE SERVICE
OF A PRIVATE SECURITY FIRM.
IN THIS CASE,
IT'S A U.S.-BASED COMPANY
CALLED PLN INTERNATIONAL.
THEY SECURED THE VILLA
AND THE BEACH SITE
UNTIL THE MEXICAN
FEDERAL POLICE ARRIVED
AND THEY ARE ON THE SCENE NOW.
Mae: WE CAN'T TELL MUCH
FROM THESE PHOTOS,
BUT THE SHEETS THAT ARE WRAPPED
AROUND JESSICA'S BODY
LOOK LIKE A CRUDE
FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE,
A WAY TO SPIRIT A BODY
OFF THE GROUNDS
WITHOUT RAISING MUCH SUSPICION.
WELL, IF $4,000
IN JEWELRY WAS TAKEN,
THEN, BURGLARY COULD'VE
BEEN A PRIMARY MOTIVE.
JESSICA'S MURDER COULD'VE
BEEN AN IMPULSIVE ACT.
YEAH, BUT DON'T YOU THINK
BREAKING INTO A HOTEL VILLA
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
IS A PRETTY PROVOCATIVE ACT,
EVEN FOR A DESPERATE BURGLAR?
IT'S POSSIBLE
JESSICA WAS TARGETED.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
-I'D LIKE TO KNOW
WHERE DANIEL WOLF WAS
WHEN ALL THIS WENT DOWN.
WHERE WERE HIS KIDS?
WHAT DID THEY SEE AND HEAR?
-I WISH I COULD TELL YOU, BUT,
ASIDE FROM HIS
INITIAL STATEMENT,
DANIEL STOPPED
COOPERATING WITH POLICE

WERE TAKEN

AS MATERIAL WITNESSES.
OUR JOB NOW IS TO GET
DOWN THERE AND ASSIST THE MFP
WHILE ALSO PROTECTING

OR INNOCENCE.

BUT WHAT I JUST DUG UP

IS STRAIGHT OUT OF

FIRM FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY.
EIGHT MONTHS LATER,

AND THEN SHE WITHDREW

30 DAYS AGO,
DANIEL TOOK OUT AN INSURANCE
POLICY ON HIS WIFE,
SO, NOW, THIS DUDE
IS LINE TO COLLECT --
WAIT FOR IT --

WHAT IF HE DID IT

IS UNDOUBTEDLY MALE.
GIVEN HIS TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY
AND HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE,
HE IS MOST LIKELY
IN HIS 30s OR 40s.
HIGHLY EDUCATED, AND YET,
DUE TO SOCIALIZATION ISSUES,
HE'S MOST LIKELY A DROPOUT
OR SOMEONE
WHO WAS EXPELLED FROM COLLEGE,
MAYBE EVEN A SEMINARY OR CHURCH.
HE IS BOTH MOTIVATED AND
REPELLED BY HIS CONCEPT OF SIN,
WHICH SOMEHOW CORRELATES
TO HIS CHOSEN SURROGATES

THAT HE'S A GRIEF-INDUCED,

NARCISSIST.
YOU KNOW,
IF THIS GUY REALLY THINKS
THAT HE'S SOME LATTER-DAY

AN EARTHQUAKE 6 YEARS AGO.
THE HEAD PASTOR'S SON,
MATTHEW, DIED.
HE WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD.
Yeah. Matthew's father
is Rafael Acosta.
He's got a record.
ABOUT 6 MONTHS
AFTER HIS SON DIED,
HE WAS ARRESTED AT MAZATLAN FOR
ASSAULTING A 13-YEAR-OLD BOY.
THIS GUY CAN'T STILL
BE THE PASTOR THERE, CAN HE?
I wouldn't think so,
but I'm not finding a great deal
Of information online about
the church's current staff.
WELL, IF THIS
RAFAEL ACOSTA'S OUR GUY,
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
THAT HIS VICTIMS
WOULD BE SURROGATES
FOR HIS DEAD SON.
ALL RIGHT,
SO WHO DO THE VICTIMS REPRESENT?
GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO ASK
RAFAEL ACOSTA HIMSELF.
LET'S START WITH THIS CHURCH.
I actually have two locations
of interest for you.
One is the church itself.
The other
is a condemned property
that the church also owns,
about 15 miles northwest
of Las Casitas resort.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
SIMMONS AND MAE,
YOU TAKE THE CHURCH.
CLARA AND I WILL CHECK OUT
THIS CONDEMNED PROPERTY.
LET'S GO.

HELLO.
[ CROW CAWS ]
Man: HOLA.
¿QUé TAL?
HOLA.
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
GRACIAS,
BUT I DO SPEAK ENGLISH.
I'M REVEREND ESTEBAN SORIA.
HOW CAN I BE OF SERVICE
TO THE FBI?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ONE
OF YOUR PASTORS --
RAFAEL ACOSTA.
HE HASN'T BEEN WITH US
FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.
WE UNDERSTAND
THAT HE LOST HIS SON HERE
DURING AN EARTHQUAKE.
YES.
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
BUT YET, STRANGELY COUPLED
WITH A MIRACLE.
MIRACLE?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THERE WERE TWO BOYS
IN THE SANCTUARY
THAT DAY THAT IT COLLAPSED --
MATTHEW
AND THIS BOY, UH, BRYANT.
HE AND HIS PARENTS WERE VISITORS
FROM THE U.S. JUST LIKE YOU.
WHEN WE DUG THROUGH THE RUBBLE,
WE PULLED HIM OUT,
AND HE WAS STILL ALIVE.
DO YOU RECALL HOW RAFAEL
RESPONDED TO THIS MIRACLE?
HE WAS NEVER THE SAME
AFTER THAT DAY.
HE WAS ALWAYS UNUSUALLY FIERCE
IN HIS EXPRESSION OF FAITH,
SOME THOUGHT TOO FIERCE.
DO YOU REMEMBER HIS LAST NAME,
BRYANT'S?
AH, I BELIEVE
IT WAS BRYANT HOLT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHERE WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO FIND RAFAEL NOW?
NO, I'M SORRY.
I DON'T.
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
LOCAL MEDIA DOWN BAJA WAY
IS STILL PRETTY ANALOG,
but I found this
in a Ballard, Utah, paper.
THE VICTIMS
ARE ALL SURROGATES
FOR THIS MIRACLE BOY,
BRYANT HOLT.
YEAH, RAFAEL ACOSTA IS
AVENGING HIMSELF
BY MASSACRING
THIS INNOCENT OVER AND OVER.
AND WE STILL NEED
TO FIND HIM.
[ CROW CAWS ]

IT'S CLEAR.
HE WAS DEFINITELY
HERE RECENTLY.
$4,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY
REALLY DID MEAN NOTHING TO HIM.
THAT WAS JUST A WAY
TO THROW US OFF.
HE HAD NO WAY TO KNOW
HOW MUCH THE WOLF FAMILY
DRAMA WOULD DO THAT.
SO WHERE DOES HE GO
FROM HERE?
YOU KNOW,
I KEEP TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD
AROUND
THIS UNSUB's PATIENCE,
HIS DEVOTION
TO THE ANNUAL CYCLE.
HOW DOES HE SUSTAIN HIMSELF
OVER 365 DAYS
IN BETWEEN
SACRIFICIAL KILLINGS?
MAYBE HE'S LIKE
DENNIS RADER.
RIGHT.
THE BTK KILLER.
RADER WAS ABLE TO SOOTHE
HIS KILLING URGES
BY BECOMING
A COMPLIANCE AGENT.
MAYBE OUR UNSUB
PACIFIED HIS URGES
BY WORKING A JOB
WITH STRICT RESPONSIBILITIES,
LIKE A CIVIL SERVANT
OR A CODE ENFORCER.
SECURITY GUARD.
[ CONVERSING IN SPANISH ]
I'M SORRY
THIS HASN'T BEEN EASY FOR YOU,
BUT THIS GENTLEMAN'S GONNA
DRIVE YOU TO THE AIRPORT
SO YOU CAN GET ON A PLANE
AND GO BACK HOME.
I KNOW HOW MUCH
YOUR GRANDPARENTS MISS YOU.
WHERE'S AGENT CLARA?

HE'S GOT A KNIFE.
He knows we're here, Jack.

[ CHANTING CONTINUES ]
MEA CULPA.
RAFAEL?
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR SON.
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO MATTHEW.
WE'RE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
YOU KNOW NOTHING.
GOD TOOK MY SON.
I TAKE HIS.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE.
Clara: RAFAEL, NO.
GOD TOOK MY HUSBAND.
RAFAEL, I KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO BE ANGRY WITH GOD.
MY HUSBAND, BRAD,
HE WAS --
HE WAS THE LOVE
OF MY LIFE,
AND GOD RIPPED HIM
AWAY FROM ME.
AFTERWARDS,
I WAS JUST CONSUMED WITH RAGE.
I WAS HIS MOST
FAITHFUL SERVANT.
[ PANTING ]
WHY TAKE MY MATTHEW?
I ASKED MYSELF THE EXACT
SAME QUESTION WHEN I LOST BRAD.
ALL OF THAT PAIN,
IT IS --
IT IS OVERWHELMING,
ISN'T IT?
IT BURNS.
AND THAT'S WHY
YOU FELT THE NEED
TO TAKE THE LIVES
OF THOSE BOYS
BECAUSE EACH TIME
YOU TOOK ONE FROM THIS WORLD,
YOU THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD
STOP THAT PAIN.
BUT IT DIDN'T, DID IT?
ALL OF THESE
ACTS OF VENGEANCE,
THEY DO NOTHING TO QUELL
THE AGONY OF MATTHEW'S DEATH.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
MATTHEW WAS INNOCENT.
YES.
YES, HE WAS,
JUST LIKE RYAN,
JUST LIKE THAT LITTLE BOY
THAT YOU ARE HOLDING
IN YOUR ARMS RIGHT NOW.
NO.
HE'S BEEN CHOSEN.
RAFAEL,
I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO ME.
REMEMBER WHAT IT SAYS
IN PROVERBS --
"LET NOT MERCY
AND TRUTH FORSAKE THEE.
BIND THEM UPON THY NECK.
WRITE THEM ON THE TABLE
WITH YOUR HEART."
RAFAEL, DO YOU KNOW WHY GOD
WRITES HIS WORDS IN YOUR HEART?
SO THAT WHEN
YOUR HEART BREAKS,
HIS WORDS,
THEY FALL IN.
[ SOBBING ]
I'M FORSAKEN.
IT'S OVER, RAFAEL.
PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD.

YOU DID GREAT WORK TODAY.
THANK YOU.

BUT WHAT?
AND I THOUGHT BRAD
HAD A BAD POKER FACE.
YOURS IS SO MUCH WORSE.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YEAH.
YOU CUT OPEN
A PRETTY DEEP SCAR TODAY
IN ORDER TO TALK DOWN
RAFAEL ACOSTA.
OH, BELIEVE ME,
I DIDN'T WANT TO.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
I COULD HAVE DONE.
YOU GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, WHEN BRAD DIED,
IT DAWNED ON ME
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
WHY EVERY ORTHODOX FAITH
ON THIS PLANET
HAS THESE STRICT
TIMELINES AND RITUALS
FOR HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO MOURN THE DEAD
AND MOVE ON
WITH THE LIVING.
YOU VIOLATE THOSE CUSTOMS,
YOU DISHONOR THE DEAD.
AS WELL AS THE LIVING.
THERE HAS TO BE A TIME
TO GRIEVE.
AND A TIME TO MOVE ON.
I'M REALLY GLAD
YOU'RE BACK.
ME, TOO.
