Criminal Minds: Evolution (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - True Conviction - full transcript
Previously on "Criminal
Minds: Evolution"...
I know my own rules.
Your rules? My rules.
Don't you ever forget that.
How can I?
We are
pursuing the leader
of a network of serial killers.
That's your sister.
She went missing 15 years ago.
You didn't join that
network, you infiltrated it.
I know that you don't
remember what happened
the night Alison went missing.
I know that all the important
details are, like, in this fog.
What if I could lift that fog?
I want you to picture
your sister's face.
Go back to the last
time you saw her.
Tyler.
Tyler!
Next time,
you tell me if your
brother's going to be here.
Alright.
What's wrong with you?
He was right
there. But I couldn't see him.
I couldn't see his face.
Her boyfriend, Lee?
Yes. He's the one
you're looking for.
He's Sicarius?
You and Rebecca?
You're so a thing.
It is my first time
being this happy.
Do what I tell you, Benjamin.
The rules are
there for a reason.
Follow them, and you won't
have to put a gun to your head.
He calls 911. I come running.
Benjamin
Reeves just confessed
to multiple murders
around the country.
Carmen Gomez from 2007.
John Harris, Kalen Jones.
Should I keep going?
He's naming names from
the Sicarius shipping container.
None of those names
are public knowledge.
You want to impress me, tell
me something I don't know.
Whitfield County, Georgia.
What's out there?
More buried treasure.
Looks
like a storm cellar.
We're going in.
It's just like the other
shipping container.
What the hell is that?
Get out of there now!
JJ, it's a bomb! Run!
- Oh, my God.
- Run!
Luke? JJ? Come in.
Oh, no.
- What was that?
- It was an explosion.
Communications are scrambled.
- Backup there yet?
- Power's been knocked out.
That means towers
are probably down.
Comms might be out,
but they still have
on those body cameras.
That isn't connected
to any GPS, but...
But if I can reestablish
the uplink...
Oh! Oh! One of the
cameras is online.
There's JJ.
Where's Luke?
I take back every mean
thing I ever said.
Please let him be okay.
We need to get to Georgia now.
I can dispatch the
Atlanta division.
Douglas, it's time.
JJ's back online.
She's still looking for Luke.
Driving or...?
Oh.It's about time.
Return it filled up,
and not just with fuel.
Bring them home, Emily.
We will. Wheels up.
Luke!
Luke! Come on. Luke. Luke.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Agent down!
We need help!
"People who believe
that they are strong-willed
and the masters of their destiny
can only continue
to believe this
by becoming specialists
in self-deception"...
James Baldwin.
It's Syd.
Leave me a message.
Hey, babe.
Uh, I know you're asleep.
Turns out this job is a
little more complicated
than anyone anticipated.
So I'm gonna have to stay
out here a couple more days.
Sorry.
But...
Cameron says there's a big
Christmas bonus in it for me,
so there's that.
Anyway, I love you.
I miss you.
Give my love to the girls.
Help me!
Let me out!
Help!
We need to come to
an understanding.
Now, I know how your
parents looked at me,
but I'm smart.
I read.
In fact, just the other day,
I read about these
experiments on dogs
where they would shock
them in their pens.
Ooh, the dogs hated it.
They'd jump.
They'd howl.
But then, they just gave up.
That's called
learned helplessness.
Your mommy and daddy are dead.
And you heard the judge.
You're either state raised,
or as your only living relative,
I'd get you.
And around here,
I got rules.
So, you gonna be a good boy?
Alright.
Eat up.
Oh, thank God.
How you doing, kids?
We're ready to catch
this son of a bitch.
The locals said the
accelerant was gasoline.
I mean, this guy
really wanted a show.
You guys are lucky to be alive.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
He called twice.
He was warning us
to get out of there.
So killing federal agents
is too bold, even for him.
He doesn't wanna wage a
full-on war against us.
Listen, if Sicarius let
JJ and Alvez rush out,
then he timed it perfectly.
And, look, that means he's...
- Close by.
We need to fan out, cover
as much ground as possible.
The suspect may
still be in the area.
Sicarius staged this.
Benjamin Reeves wasn't suicidal,
and he definitely wasn't
smart enough to pull this off.
But he was a perfect patsy.
You think Sicarius will
go back underground?
He's gonna tie off loose
ends like this one,
and then he's gonna lie low.
Dave, what are you thinking?
This is where he kept
his buried treasure.
But he destroyed it like that.
Like it was nothing.
Souvenirs, trophies...
He blew them all up
because he knew it
would get him caught.
The discipline to do that...
Somebody or something
made this guy very good.
We figure that
out, we catch him.

Hey, turn that off.
No.
What'd you see on
our way out here?
Nothing.
Exactly.
No road signs, no mile markers.
That's why I picked this place.
I know precisely where we are.
I know how long it
takes to get here.
I know how many cars we passed
headed in the same direction,
and I know when those cars
stop being as frequent.
Get your ass up.
Grab me one of them buckets.
What's that?
Lye.
It's used for soaps and candles,
but it's got other uses.
Who was he?
I don't know.

Prentiss.
We have a situation back here.
I am too busy for politics.
Emily, Benjamin Reeves
murdered a sitting US Senator,
do you understand?
The DOJ needs Reeves
to be Sicarius
because if he isn't and
this case is still open,
and the Bureau allowed a
major political assassination
to occur on our watch...
What are you trying to say?
I-I'm not gonna shut
down this investigation.
The Attorney General is
going to shut you down.
She can't. Sicarius
is still at large.
Can you prove that?
Look, if you can give
me something, anything,
to prove that Reeves
is not Sicarius,
then you and I will make the
case to the Attorney General.
We'll find something.
I don't know how,
but we will find it.
I'm so sorry.
I-I'm so sorry.
Still smells new.
Nice job getting our wings back.
Did you have to, uh,
arm wrestle Bailey?
Believe it or not, Bailey
is not the problem...
Politics are.
And we now have one shot to
keep the Sicarius case open.
So what have we got?
Okay, a half-dozen
stalker photos
survived the explosion
inside a Haeberlein case.
But one photo in
particular stands out.
Her name is Maria Jones.
Now, her DNA was not recovered
inside the shipping container.
Penelope had to identify
her using facial recognition
because her body was
found over 20 years ago
outside Raleigh, North Carolina.
Okay, her boyfriend,
Silvio Herrera,
was convicted of killing her.
Yeah, he confessed to doing it.
He's now sitting on death row.
Then, I mean, why would Maria's
photo be in Sicarius' container?
That can't be a coincidence.
I mean, look at this
bank clock here.
It says 1:43, right?
But prosecutors claim that Maria
was abducted before midnight.
Maybe Maria was an early victim,
before Sicarius refined
his methodology.
Before he committed to
"no body, no crime."
Before he buried the
shipping containers.
Okay, so if that's
true, then somehow,
he persuaded Silvio to confess.
The guy's a master
manipulator, but, I mean,
that would be one hell of
a hold on Herrera's psyche.
Especially considering
that his death row sentence
- wasn't guaranteed.
- Not anymore.
North Carolina just ended
their pandemic moratorium.
Silvio Herrera is scheduled
to be executed in 48 hours.
I can assert the
BAU's prerogative
to interview death row inmates,
have him transferred
to Quantico.
Luke, Tara, you'll take point.
Got it.
Hey. Uh, there is a signature
in the prosecutor's
filing... R. Wilson.
Yeah.
I saw that, too.
It's not Rebecca, is it?
That is the case that
launched her career.
I'll join Luke in the interview.
No, no. It's fine.
I-I can do it.
I know, but I don't
think you should.
You'll observe.
I'll be in the room.
Am I being released?
It's amazing what
cooperating will get you.
And no charges are
gonna be filed.
You're free to go.
What about Sicarius?
I don't know.
Uh, we hit a wall,
and I'm not sure
if we're gonna climb over
it or smash through it.
Huh.
Huh.
What does "huh" mean?
Does "huh" mean you're
going to go home and rest?
'Cause that is a good move.
You're being eerily
silent right now, Tyler,
and I don't like it.
Actually, you
shouldn't be alone.
You just found out
about your sister
and I'm concerned you might
not make the best choices.
Thank you, Penelope.
For everything.
Y...
You're welcome.
Oh. Oh. Those faces!
My heart!
Thank you, universe,
for bringing them back.
Even Luke.
Ooh.
Ooh, I love this.
Silvio, I'm Emily Prentiss.
This is Luke Alvez.
We work for the FBI's
Behavioral Analysis Unit,
and we'd like to ask you
some questions if we may.
Do you recognize this photo?
No.
Do you recognize the
person in the photo?
You're kidding, right?
It's Maria.
Do you notice anything
about the photo?
Should I?
It was taken the night she died
after the police said
that you abducted her.
We found it among the
possessions of a serial killer
that's been operating
for a long time.
This is why you
hauled my ass up here?
Yes, it is.
We're just trying to
clear some things up.
See, if this bank
clock is correct,
then how could Maria
have been at this house
in Falls Lake where
you killed her?
What do you want from me?
Hmm?
I confessed.
I took that bitch
to my uncle's cabin,
and I killed her.
This cabin?
Yeah, that cabin.
Silvio, this is an
abandoned house in Ireland.
The police never found where
Maria was tortured and killed.
They only found her body.
You trying to fuck with me?
We're trying to
get to the truth.
This is some bullshit.
I shouldn't even be here.
I should've had a needle
jabbed in my arm years ago.
If you are in partnership
or protecting someone,
we need to know, okay?
We might be able to help
you get your sentence...
Fuck you!
Shh, shh, shh.
Silvio! Hey!
Settle down.
Settle down.
Just tell us, please.
What's done is done.
I just wanna die, okay?
Just let me die.
Hey.
I'm so sorry.
I, uh, I broke our promise
to call you before.
You didn't break it,
I just missed it.
I fell asleep in Michael's
room putting him to bed.
I promise that'll
never happen again.
So, um, thing... things are
pretty hectic around here,
but I do think I need to take a
couple days off after this case.
There's just been way too many
close calls, and I just...
I need to be around
you and the boys.
You do what you
think is best, okay?
We got your back, JJ.
Always.
I know.
One of the many
reasons why I love you.
I love you, too.
Talk soon.
Bye now.
Bye.
So, we've been slowly but surely
identifying the victims
in the second container.
Louise Murphy of Brentwood,
Tennessee, missing since 2014.
The lab said she had crab
spiders poured down her throat.
In the first container, this
victim had Sicarius spiders
poured down his throat.
The coroner said it took
a day for him to die.
So what are you thinking?
Well, crab spiders
means that Louise Murphy
suffered for days
before she died.
In the second container,
he's deliberately
prolonging their pain.
It sounds like the
first container
is a rough draft for the second.
And what's to say he stopped at
only two shipping containers?
He could have containers
buried all across the country.
Oh.
Hello?
Yes, this is Penelope.
Yes, okay.
I have to go bail...
I have to take care
of a situation.
Okay.
Seriously, you didn't
need to do this...
Wow, your place is pretty.
Oh.
Thank you. Slam.
She... She is pretty.
Oh, I like all the colors.
Uh-huh.
Let's get you stationary.
I need a three-second warning
if you're gonna hurl, okay?
I really like this rug.
You should see the other guy.
Oh, I did, and you're very
lucky he didn't press charges.
And very fortunate I
was able to bail...
you out.
Ow.
That's not on me, by the way.
'Cause you know
what I was doing?
I was drinking a beer.
A beer?
Okay, I had a couple.
Mm-hmm.
Doesn't change the fact
that he waltzed on up to me
and called me a terrorist.
He did? Mm.
Saw my picture on the news.
I bet you're gonna
say "I told you so."
Why, because I'm 10 years old?
Well, like, you did...
tell me so.
You said I shouldn't be alone.
Well, I-I said that because
if I was in your shoes,
I might get accidentally
very sloshed, too.
Um, hey, look, if
you... If you want,
I can work from home
for the rest of the day
and then we can get
you, "A," sober,
and "B," out of trouble.
Three seconds, right?
Aim for the bucket.
The bucket, man!
Lee?
Your dad calls you Lee, right?
He's my uncle.
Sorry.
Okay.
Your uncle.
Please.
Lee?
Let me go.
I promise I won't tell
anybody what happened.
W-What's your name?
Maria.
He's going to kill me.
I don't want him
to be mad at me.
God, Lee, please.
He hurt me so bad.
But I won't tell
anybody, I swear.
Please.
I don't want to die.
Okay.
You have to be so quiet, okay?
Yes.
Shh, shh.
Ah!
No!
Thank you.
I should have let her kill you.
Silvio Herrera was a
member of the Mala Noche gang,
but his record was for
dealing, not for murder.
Yeah, but there's
his confession.
You heard him. He... He
didn't just admit it.
He asked us to put
a needle in his arm.
Sicarius has a
pattern with his followers.
One of them gets caught,
they kill themselves.
What if Silvio was a
trial run for that?
So instead of getting
Silvio to commit suicide,
he gets him to agree
to take the rap?
I mean, maybe, but this guy
was on death row for 20 years.
That's plenty of time
to change your mind.
Why didn't Silvio Herrera?
Maybe Sicarius had
something on him.
Something we don't know.
Because he couldn't send him
threatening letters in prison.
Everything Silvio
got was screened.
Maybe the threat
is more symbolic.
Well, then it would
have to be something
only Silvio would understand
without being too obvious.
I'm gonna get his
belongings sent over here.
When were you going to tell me?
Um, I'll be right back.
Listen, I promise I
was gonna call you
as soon as we had something.
You could have given
me the heads up,
just like I gave
you and your team.
You didn't have to do
this behind my back.
Don't you trust me?
Of course I trust you,
but we weren't sure what
we were dealing with.
But you knew the players.
Prosecuting Silvio Herrera
launched my career.
It got me elected DA and
recruited by the DOJ,
for Christ's sakes.
I'm one step away from being
an Associate Attorney General.
Yes, and that is why I did
not want to risk upsetting you
with a theory.
What kind of theory?
There's something
off about this case.
He got details
wrong... Basic details.
Did he or did he not confess?
Yes, likely because Sicarius
has something on him.
Benjamin Reeves is dead,
so what does it matter...
Benjamin Reeves is not Sicarius.
So your theory
is really more like
a conspiracy theory?
And you're using that to
undermine my entire career?
I am not trying to hurt you.
If this guy is
connected to Sicarius
and he is put to death,
we lose everything.
Right now, you're
going to lose me.
Don't say that.
I know Silvio Herrera is guilty,
and I know how I feel about you,
but if you go all the
way with this, it's over.
There are too many victims.
I can't keep track of
all this horribleness.
Yeah, I know, but we are
starting to find a pattern...
Victimologies.
The first container
was filled with victims
living very high-risk
lifestyles...
People that wouldn't be missed.
But in container number two,
that was filled with victims
in the low-risk category.
Right, folks that were well
connected to their community
and their jobs and
their families.
And they were all
reported missing.
I see your low risk
and raise you a parent.
So far, every single
victim we've identified
in the second
container had children.
Okay, yeah. Including
Tyler Green's sister.
And... And what
about Maria Jones?
Her photo was in there, too.
Uh, I-I could have Tara ask.
It's kind of a bad
time right now.
What? What's happening?
Is there gossip? Am
I missing gossip?
Uh, you know what, I'll
fill you in later, okay?
Bye.
Hey. Those the personal effects
from Silvio Herrera's cell?
You don't want to talk about it?
Uh, look, I-I appreciate
you looking out for me.
I really do.
But everything I
say or don't say
is blowing up in my face.
So can we just
solve what's at hand
and talk about my crumbling
love life over a beer?
Yeah.
Deal.
Wait a minute. Look at these.
Every one of these
letters has a postmark
from up and down the
Eastern Seaboard.
All of them have a
picture of this guy.
That matches the
voyeuristic style
from the shipping containers.
I mean, as far as I can tell,
there's a letter
here from every year
of Herrera's incarceration.
Including the year
he was arrested.
"I confess to Almighty
God and to you,
my brothers and sisters,
that I've sinned
through my own fault,
in my thoughts and my words,
in what I have done and
what I have failed to do."
That's the Catholic
confessional prayer.
And we profiled that Sicarius
had something on Silvio.
What if it's him?
What's his name?
Nobody.
Silvio, I'm gonna
be honest with you.
When we brought you here,
we thought you were
protecting a killer.
But you know what I think now?
I think you were
protecting him from one.
See, it's the prayer
that gives it away.
He's threatening you
over what you did.
Or what you failed to do.
Hey. Could I have a minute?
Silvio, I'm Tara.
I work with the BAU.
Good for you.
You here to trick me, too?
No.
No more tricks.
I'm a forensic psychologist.
It means I study psychopaths.
I identify the markers
that make them dangerous.
Do you know what markers
I see when I look at you?
None of them.
Not one.
I do know you, though.
Do you?
I do.
You know, I was married once.
Didn't work out.
And I thought, "Man,
relationships...
They're not for me."
And then, I met this woman.
And she just, um,
she lit up my life.
And I was so confused at
first because I never thought
that my happily ever after
was going to be with someone
who is the same gender
as me, you know?
Yeah, gang life? I get it.
Can't be vulnerable.
Can't show weakness.
Can't be yourself.
The guy that is
doing this to you,
he knows that.
He is betting on you following
the cultural rules of machismo
all the way to the end.
That's not it.
I mean, you're right...
about him.
Mi novio.
But that's not it.
Okay.
Then what is it?
The photos were a reminder
that he could kill mi
novio whenever he wanted.
So if I die, then
he'll finally be free.
Silvio, we can
protect him and you.
All you have to do
is give me a name.
Nah.
You can't.
You don't pull a
pendejo from death row
'cause I'm your best bet.
It's over.
And I'm done talking.
Those photos you scanned,
I put them through
facial recognition
and the name of your
guy is Juan Gutierrez.
Looks like Juan was
Silvio's right-hand man
in Mala Noche's local
narcotics distribution.
Do we know where Juan is now?
I've been running
recent addresses.
It's super weird.
It's like he fell off the
face of the planet in 2005.
Does Juan have any aliases?
I'm checking for that now, too.
What was that?
My cat.
Are you safe?
That sounded like Bigfoot.
Okay, I'll have you
know that the reason
why I'm working from home
for the rest of the day
is because I'm trying to get
the Black Queen and Sergio
to learn to share
space, and that...
Hey, guess what?
Mr. Juan Gutierrez may have
outrun his sordid past,
but he did not outrun me.
His new name is Samuel Ortiz
and he now resides
in Norfolk, Virginia.
Alright, I-I say we get
the Norfolk division
to bring him in for questioning.
Great work, Penelope.
My pleasure.
Go feed that cat.
Oh.
Thank you.
No problem.
It's the least I can do.
Thank you for looking
out for me today.
Yeah. I just wish I would
have got to you sooner
before they messed that
very symmetrical face up.
You know what I always thought?
When I finally found
proof that he took Alison,
that it'd bring me
some sense of closure.
But there's still just...
so much pain, you know?
I can't describe it.
It's like... It's like...
There's this hole and you think
you can fill it
with the answers,
and then you get the answers
and it doesn't fill the hole.
It just makes the
hole different.
Exactly.
I felt it, too.
My parents were killed
by a drunk driver.
I'm so sorry.
Oh.
Uh, oh.
Uh, we should go on a walk.
A walk?
Yes, we should,
'cause walks are outside
and they're very sobering
and they're in the air
and there's people.
We should walk. Th... Th...
Around here, there
are so many good...
Well, shit.
Do you think
they'll figure out who it was?
No.
I'm not a dumbass.
I always make sure there's
never enough evidence
to lead back to me.
And in this case,
I got a fall guy.
Timing's a little funny, though.
What do you mean?
I mean, there hasn't been any
activity around these parts
since before I lived here.
So it's a little funny.
The Durham County
Sheriff Department
just so happened to
come sniffing around.
The hell
you think you're going?
To talk to the cops again?
I didn't say anything to anyone.
How could I?
You never let me go
anywhere without you.
That's right.
You can't go nowhere without me.
I don't need you anymore.
I'm out.
Over my dead body.
That's the smartest thing
you've ever done, boy.
You kill me now, the sheriff
will know it was you.
Maybe you have been listening.
You'll be back.
I'm all you got.
Mr. Gutierrez, we
brought you here
because new evidence
has come to light
in the Silvio Herrera case.
Juan, we know Silvio
was keeping a secret.
You weren't just
partners in crime,
you were romantic
partners as well.
Yes.
Silvio and I were...
We loved each other.
We couldn't be out back then.
Not in Raleigh. Definitely
not in the Mala Noche.
Are you sure that no
one knew about you two?
We had to be good
about hiding it.
But a few weeks before
Silvio was arrested,
we were discovered by this
man that we bought guns from.
This guy, Cyrus.
We had to pay him
off to keep quiet,
but I remember how obsessed
he used to be with Maria.
And I always thought
he had something
to do with killing her.
You never suspected Silvio?
He didn't kill Maria.
How can you be so sure?
Because I was with him
the night she disappeared.
We went to a drag
ball in Kitts Creek.
It was our first time being
together around other people.
Can you prove that?
I have pictures from that night.
Why didn't you hand
them over sooner?
I tried, but Silvio
didn't want my help.
He told me he would
deny everything.
And a day later, he confessed.
Juan, if you give those
pictures to us, the FBI can...
I don't need promises.
I stopped living in fear
when I left Raleigh.
Silvio has lost most of his
life trying to protect me.
And it's about time
I return the favor.
Silvio Herrera's
refusing to talk anymore.
He is being transferred back
for execution at midnight.
He didn't do it.
We can take what we have
to the Attorney General.
It's a sliver, but
it is something.
But first, it would
certainly help
if the original prosecutor
withdrew the case.
Do you want me to talk to her?
No. No, I'll do it.
This is impossible.
It's exonerating.
And we have an
alternate suspect...
An illegal gun dealer who
went by the name Cyrus.
He sold guns to the Mala Noche.
He showed an interest
in Maria Jones.
He found out the Juan
and Silvio were lovers
and then he blackmailed Silvio.
Back then, there was this Cyrus
suspected of running guns,
but that name never
came up in the trial.
Rebecca, we are
running out of time.
You are the only person
who can pick up the phone
and convince the governor
to stay this execution.
I want you to tell me something.
Tell me what happens
when I make that call.
Honestly, I don't know.
Now, tell me that Silvio
Herrera is 100% innocent.
I'd bet my life on it.
It's been a long time
since I've been down here.
My sister worked around here.
I tell you, Alison sounds
like she was the best.
Yeah, she was.
Actually, we're really close
to where she used to work.
It's right around the corner.
This little dive
called Delilah's.
Delilah's? Wasn't
that where...
It's okay. Yeah, it's where
she wanted me to meet her
the night she went missing.
Everything okay?
Oak Street.
Oak Street wasn't
always Oak Street.
I'm sorry? Taxi!
Tyler, uh, I'm so sorry.
Here... Here are my, uh, keys.
You can wait there
and I-I can...
I can meet you at
my place later.
I just... I have to
get back to the office.
What? Can I help?
Um, no. No, you can't.
I...
Okay, I-I gotta go.
Goodbye.
Hey.
I am so sorry I... I
know I did the right...
You first.
I know I did the right thing,
but I got the call.
I'm under review.
This wasn't your fault.
I-I should have
been... Let me finish.
I have never not
been on your side.
But you couldn't be honest
with me about what you needed.
And that's not fair.
Um, can we talk
about this at home?
No.
Uh, um, why not?
Because I'm not going home.
Please give me some good news.
Alright.
I've been building
a geo-profile.
A fraction of victims from
his Yakima County container
were reported missing.
You go to Whitfield County,
and the victim type
shifts drastically.
They're all parents.
The kind of people that get
search parties and news stories.
So they're a challenge for him?
That's why he leaves
them in Georgia,
far away from where he lives.
He wouldn't want
to risk authorities
conducting a search
anywhere near his backyard.
We know he revisits the victims,
so the first container
was likely close
to where he actually lives.
- You got it.
- Hey! Hey!
Forgive me. I know this is not
my area of expertise, but...
But I was on a walk
with... Never mind that.
Suffice to say, I think
that I have something
that will help us with
the Sicarius profile,
I just need...
Yes. I need this.
Okay. Okay, look, all of
the identified victims,
no exceptions, have a
connection to the name
of a single location...
Second Street.
Uh, I'm not qu...
Quite following.
I-I-I looked at all the
victim's biographies and...
And it's bananas.
Every single time, whether
it was where they worked,
where they hung out,
where they were last seen,
each and every one
crossed a Second Street
before they went missing.
Alison Green wouldn't
fit that pattern.
I mean, there's nothing
here that says that she...
Alison Green... Alison
Green worked at Delilah's,
which still exists
and is on Oak Street,
but in 2007, Oak Street was
an extension of Second Street.
She's right.
Basically, in whatever city
Sicarius finds himself,
Second Street is his
preferred hunting ground.
And maybe it's...
It's wishful thinking
because Second Street is, like,
the most common name of a
street in the United States,
but maybe it means
something to him.
It's not a coincidence.
Where he hunts is rooted
in something that's
deeply personal to him.
And who he hunts is a
form of transference.
Transference?
Meaning you think
Sicarius is a father.
I do, because as a
parent, i-i-it...
It might explain why there's
so many gaps between kills.
The cooling off
periods might line up
with his children's births.
Father by day, serial
killer by night.
That's why he's so disciplined,
but that's how we're gonna
catch this son of a bitch.
Through his family.
Well, well.
The prodigal son returns.
Took you long enough.
Yeah, sometimes when
I close my eyes,
it's like I never left.
Oh.
That's what you been doing
the last 20 fucking years?
Yeah. Just thinking
about this place?
Even after I went to school.
After I fell in love, got
married, had two daughters,
I can't get this fucking
place out of my head.
Huh.
After everything I taught you,
you still think
you can be normal.
No, I'm still what you made me.
Oh.
Is that why you came back, huh?
To blame me? I
could've had a chance.
I could've been different.
No, you couldn't.
Our vice is in our blood.
Need I remind you
of the real reason you
came into my custody?
It's you.
The one they're
all talking about.
Sicarius.
Did you come here to kill me?
Oh, I already killed
you an hour ago.
Slipped some
naproxen in your IV.
I just came here to
watch an old man die.
I see.
You dumb son of a bitch.
If I die, they'll
connect me to you.
No, they won't.
They'll just find a lonely old
man who died of kidney failure.
I always knew it.
Family's what gets you killed.
You'll find that
out soon enough.
And that little family of yours?
Yeah.
They'll find out, too.
Minds: Evolution"...
I know my own rules.
Your rules? My rules.
Don't you ever forget that.
How can I?
We are
pursuing the leader
of a network of serial killers.
That's your sister.
She went missing 15 years ago.
You didn't join that
network, you infiltrated it.
I know that you don't
remember what happened
the night Alison went missing.
I know that all the important
details are, like, in this fog.
What if I could lift that fog?
I want you to picture
your sister's face.
Go back to the last
time you saw her.
Tyler.
Tyler!
Next time,
you tell me if your
brother's going to be here.
Alright.
What's wrong with you?
He was right
there. But I couldn't see him.
I couldn't see his face.
Her boyfriend, Lee?
Yes. He's the one
you're looking for.
He's Sicarius?
You and Rebecca?
You're so a thing.
It is my first time
being this happy.
Do what I tell you, Benjamin.
The rules are
there for a reason.
Follow them, and you won't
have to put a gun to your head.
He calls 911. I come running.
Benjamin
Reeves just confessed
to multiple murders
around the country.
Carmen Gomez from 2007.
John Harris, Kalen Jones.
Should I keep going?
He's naming names from
the Sicarius shipping container.
None of those names
are public knowledge.
You want to impress me, tell
me something I don't know.
Whitfield County, Georgia.
What's out there?
More buried treasure.
Looks
like a storm cellar.
We're going in.
It's just like the other
shipping container.
What the hell is that?
Get out of there now!
JJ, it's a bomb! Run!
- Oh, my God.
- Run!
Luke? JJ? Come in.
Oh, no.
- What was that?
- It was an explosion.
Communications are scrambled.
- Backup there yet?
- Power's been knocked out.
That means towers
are probably down.
Comms might be out,
but they still have
on those body cameras.
That isn't connected
to any GPS, but...
But if I can reestablish
the uplink...
Oh! Oh! One of the
cameras is online.
There's JJ.
Where's Luke?
I take back every mean
thing I ever said.
Please let him be okay.
We need to get to Georgia now.
I can dispatch the
Atlanta division.
Douglas, it's time.
JJ's back online.
She's still looking for Luke.
Driving or...?
Oh.It's about time.
Return it filled up,
and not just with fuel.
Bring them home, Emily.
We will. Wheels up.
Luke!
Luke! Come on. Luke. Luke.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Agent down!
We need help!

It's Syd.
Leave me a message.
Hey, babe.
Uh, I know you're asleep.
Turns out this job is a
little more complicated
than anyone anticipated.
So I'm gonna have to stay
out here a couple more days.
Sorry.
But...
Cameron says there's a big
Christmas bonus in it for me,
so there's that.
Anyway, I love you.
I miss you.
Give my love to the girls.
Help me!
Let me out!
Help!
We need to come to
an understanding.
Now, I know how your
parents looked at me,
but I'm smart.
I read.
In fact, just the other day,
I read about these
experiments on dogs
where they would shock
them in their pens.
Ooh, the dogs hated it.
They'd jump.
They'd howl.
But then, they just gave up.
That's called
learned helplessness.
Your mommy and daddy are dead.
And you heard the judge.
You're either state raised,
or as your only living relative,
I'd get you.
And around here,
I got rules.
So, you gonna be a good boy?
Alright.
Eat up.
Oh, thank God.
How you doing, kids?
We're ready to catch
this son of a bitch.
The locals said the
accelerant was gasoline.
I mean, this guy
really wanted a show.
You guys are lucky to be alive.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
He called twice.
He was warning us
to get out of there.
So killing federal agents
is too bold, even for him.
He doesn't wanna wage a
full-on war against us.
Listen, if Sicarius let
JJ and Alvez rush out,
then he timed it perfectly.
And, look, that means he's...
- Close by.
We need to fan out, cover
as much ground as possible.
The suspect may
still be in the area.
Sicarius staged this.
Benjamin Reeves wasn't suicidal,
and he definitely wasn't
smart enough to pull this off.
But he was a perfect patsy.
You think Sicarius will
go back underground?
He's gonna tie off loose
ends like this one,
and then he's gonna lie low.
Dave, what are you thinking?
This is where he kept
his buried treasure.
But he destroyed it like that.
Like it was nothing.
Souvenirs, trophies...
He blew them all up
because he knew it
would get him caught.
The discipline to do that...
Somebody or something
made this guy very good.
We figure that
out, we catch him.

our way out here?
Nothing.
Exactly.
No road signs, no mile markers.
That's why I picked this place.
I know precisely where we are.
I know how long it
takes to get here.
I know how many cars we passed
headed in the same direction,
and I know when those cars
stop being as frequent.

Prentiss.
We have a situation back here.
I am too busy for politics.
Emily, Benjamin Reeves
murdered a sitting US Senator,
do you understand?
The DOJ needs Reeves
to be Sicarius
because if he isn't and
this case is still open,
and the Bureau allowed a
major political assassination
to occur on our watch...
What are you trying to say?
I-I'm not gonna shut
down this investigation.
The Attorney General is
going to shut you down.
She can't. Sicarius
is still at large.
Can you prove that?
Look, if you can give
me something, anything,
to prove that Reeves
is not Sicarius,
then you and I will make the
case to the Attorney General.
We'll find something.
I don't know how,
but we will find it.
I'm so sorry.
I-I'm so sorry.
Still smells new.
Nice job getting our wings back.
Did you have to, uh,
arm wrestle Bailey?
Believe it or not, Bailey
is not the problem...
Politics are.
And we now have one shot to
keep the Sicarius case open.
So what have we got?
Okay, a half-dozen
stalker photos
survived the explosion
inside a Haeberlein case.
But one photo in
particular stands out.
Her name is Maria Jones.
Now, her DNA was not recovered
inside the shipping container.
Penelope had to identify
her using facial recognition
because her body was
found over 20 years ago
outside Raleigh, North Carolina.
Okay, her boyfriend,
Silvio Herrera,
was convicted of killing her.
Yeah, he confessed to doing it.
He's now sitting on death row.
Then, I mean, why would Maria's
photo be in Sicarius' container?
That can't be a coincidence.
I mean, look at this
bank clock here.
It says 1:43, right?
But prosecutors claim that Maria
was abducted before midnight.
Maybe Maria was an early victim,
before Sicarius refined
his methodology.
Before he committed to
"no body, no crime."
Before he buried the
shipping containers.
Okay, so if that's
true, then somehow,
he persuaded Silvio to confess.
The guy's a master
manipulator, but, I mean,
that would be one hell of
a hold on Herrera's psyche.
Especially considering
that his death row sentence
- wasn't guaranteed.
- Not anymore.
North Carolina just ended
their pandemic moratorium.
Silvio Herrera is scheduled
to be executed in 48 hours.
I can assert the
BAU's prerogative
to interview death row inmates,
have him transferred
to Quantico.
Luke, Tara, you'll take point.
Got it.
Hey. Uh, there is a signature
in the prosecutor's
filing... R. Wilson.
Yeah.
I saw that, too.
It's not Rebecca, is it?
That is the case that
launched her career.
I'll join Luke in the interview.
No, no. It's fine.
I-I can do it.
I know, but I don't
think you should.
You'll observe.
I'll be in the room.
Am I being released?
It's amazing what
cooperating will get you.
And no charges are
gonna be filed.
You're free to go.
What about Sicarius?
I don't know.
Uh, we hit a wall,
and I'm not sure
if we're gonna climb over
it or smash through it.
Huh.
Huh.
What does "huh" mean?
Does "huh" mean you're
going to go home and rest?
'Cause that is a good move.
You're being eerily
silent right now, Tyler,
and I don't like it.
Actually, you
shouldn't be alone.
You just found out
about your sister
and I'm concerned you might
not make the best choices.
Thank you, Penelope.
For everything.
Y...
You're welcome.
Oh. Oh. Those faces!
My heart!
Thank you, universe,
for bringing them back.
Even Luke.
Ooh.
Ooh, I love this.
Silvio, I'm Emily Prentiss.
This is Luke Alvez.
We work for the FBI's
Behavioral Analysis Unit,
and we'd like to ask you
some questions if we may.
Do you recognize this photo?
No.
Do you recognize the
person in the photo?
You're kidding, right?
It's Maria.
Do you notice anything
about the photo?
Should I?
It was taken the night she died
after the police said
that you abducted her.
We found it among the
possessions of a serial killer
that's been operating
for a long time.
This is why you
hauled my ass up here?
Yes, it is.
We're just trying to
clear some things up.
See, if this bank
clock is correct,
then how could Maria
have been at this house
in Falls Lake where
you killed her?
What do you want from me?
Hmm?
I confessed.
I took that bitch
to my uncle's cabin,
and I killed her.
This cabin?
Yeah, that cabin.
Silvio, this is an
abandoned house in Ireland.
The police never found where
Maria was tortured and killed.
They only found her body.
You trying to fuck with me?
We're trying to
get to the truth.
This is some bullshit.
I shouldn't even be here.
I should've had a needle
jabbed in my arm years ago.
If you are in partnership
or protecting someone,
we need to know, okay?
We might be able to help
you get your sentence...
Fuck you!
Shh, shh, shh.
Silvio! Hey!
Settle down.
Settle down.
Just tell us, please.
What's done is done.
I just wanna die, okay?
Just let me die.
Hey.
I'm so sorry.
I, uh, I broke our promise
to call you before.
You didn't break it,
I just missed it.
I fell asleep in Michael's
room putting him to bed.
I promise that'll
never happen again.
So, um, thing... things are
pretty hectic around here,
but I do think I need to take a
couple days off after this case.
There's just been way too many
close calls, and I just...
I need to be around
you and the boys.
You do what you
think is best, okay?
We got your back, JJ.
Always.
I know.
One of the many
reasons why I love you.
I love you, too.
Talk soon.
Bye now.
Bye.
So, we've been slowly but surely
identifying the victims
in the second container.
Louise Murphy of Brentwood,
Tennessee, missing since 2014.
The lab said she had crab
spiders poured down her throat.
In the first container, this
victim had Sicarius spiders
poured down his throat.
The coroner said it took
a day for him to die.
So what are you thinking?
Well, crab spiders
means that Louise Murphy
suffered for days
before she died.
In the second container,
he's deliberately
prolonging their pain.
It sounds like the
first container
is a rough draft for the second.
And what's to say he stopped at
only two shipping containers?
He could have containers
buried all across the country.
Oh.
Hello?
Yes, this is Penelope.
Yes, okay.
I have to go bail...
I have to take care
of a situation.
Okay.
Seriously, you didn't
need to do this...
Wow, your place is pretty.
Oh.
Thank you. Slam.
She... She is pretty.
Oh, I like all the colors.
Uh-huh.
Let's get you stationary.
I need a three-second warning
if you're gonna hurl, okay?
I really like this rug.
You should see the other guy.
Oh, I did, and you're very
lucky he didn't press charges.
And very fortunate I
was able to bail...
you out.
Ow.
That's not on me, by the way.
'Cause you know
what I was doing?
I was drinking a beer.
A beer?
Okay, I had a couple.
Mm-hmm.
Doesn't change the fact
that he waltzed on up to me
and called me a terrorist.
He did? Mm.
Saw my picture on the news.
I bet you're gonna
say "I told you so."
Why, because I'm 10 years old?
Well, like, you did...
tell me so.
You said I shouldn't be alone.
Well, I-I said that because
if I was in your shoes,
I might get accidentally
very sloshed, too.
Um, hey, look, if
you... If you want,
I can work from home
for the rest of the day
and then we can get
you, "A," sober,
and "B," out of trouble.
Three seconds, right?
Aim for the bucket.
The bucket, man!
Lee?
Your dad calls you Lee, right?
He's my uncle.
Sorry.
Okay.
Your uncle.
Please.
Lee?
Let me go.
I promise I won't tell
anybody what happened.
W-What's your name?
Maria.
He's going to kill me.
I don't want him
to be mad at me.
God, Lee, please.
He hurt me so bad.
But I won't tell
anybody, I swear.
Please.
I don't want to die.
Okay.
You have to be so quiet, okay?
Yes.
Shh, shh.
Ah!
No!
Thank you.
I should have let her kill you.
Silvio Herrera was a
member of the Mala Noche gang,
but his record was for
dealing, not for murder.
Yeah, but there's
his confession.
You heard him. He... He
didn't just admit it.
He asked us to put
a needle in his arm.
Sicarius has a
pattern with his followers.
One of them gets caught,
they kill themselves.
What if Silvio was a
trial run for that?
So instead of getting
Silvio to commit suicide,
he gets him to agree
to take the rap?
I mean, maybe, but this guy
was on death row for 20 years.
That's plenty of time
to change your mind.
Why didn't Silvio Herrera?
Maybe Sicarius had
something on him.
Something we don't know.
Because he couldn't send him
threatening letters in prison.
Everything Silvio
got was screened.
Maybe the threat
is more symbolic.
Well, then it would
have to be something
only Silvio would understand
without being too obvious.
I'm gonna get his
belongings sent over here.
When were you going to tell me?
Um, I'll be right back.
Listen, I promise I
was gonna call you
as soon as we had something.
You could have given
me the heads up,
just like I gave
you and your team.
You didn't have to do
this behind my back.
Don't you trust me?
Of course I trust you,
but we weren't sure what
we were dealing with.
But you knew the players.
Prosecuting Silvio Herrera
launched my career.
It got me elected DA and
recruited by the DOJ,
for Christ's sakes.
I'm one step away from being
an Associate Attorney General.
Yes, and that is why I did
not want to risk upsetting you
with a theory.
What kind of theory?
There's something
off about this case.
He got details
wrong... Basic details.
Did he or did he not confess?
Yes, likely because Sicarius
has something on him.
Benjamin Reeves is dead,
so what does it matter...
Benjamin Reeves is not Sicarius.
So your theory
is really more like
a conspiracy theory?
And you're using that to
undermine my entire career?
I am not trying to hurt you.
If this guy is
connected to Sicarius
and he is put to death,
we lose everything.
Right now, you're
going to lose me.
Don't say that.
I know Silvio Herrera is guilty,
and I know how I feel about you,
but if you go all the
way with this, it's over.
There are too many victims.
I can't keep track of
all this horribleness.
Yeah, I know, but we are
starting to find a pattern...
Victimologies.
The first container
was filled with victims
living very high-risk
lifestyles...
People that wouldn't be missed.
But in container number two,
that was filled with victims
in the low-risk category.
Right, folks that were well
connected to their community
and their jobs and
their families.
And they were all
reported missing.
I see your low risk
and raise you a parent.
So far, every single
victim we've identified
in the second
container had children.
Okay, yeah. Including
Tyler Green's sister.
And... And what
about Maria Jones?
Her photo was in there, too.
Uh, I-I could have Tara ask.
It's kind of a bad
time right now.
What? What's happening?
Is there gossip? Am
I missing gossip?
Uh, you know what, I'll
fill you in later, okay?
Bye.
Hey. Those the personal effects
from Silvio Herrera's cell?
You don't want to talk about it?
Uh, look, I-I appreciate
you looking out for me.
I really do.
But everything I
say or don't say
is blowing up in my face.
So can we just
solve what's at hand
and talk about my crumbling
love life over a beer?
Yeah.
Deal.
Wait a minute. Look at these.
Every one of these
letters has a postmark
from up and down the
Eastern Seaboard.
All of them have a
picture of this guy.
That matches the
voyeuristic style
from the shipping containers.
I mean, as far as I can tell,
there's a letter
here from every year
of Herrera's incarceration.
Including the year
he was arrested.
"I confess to Almighty
God and to you,
my brothers and sisters,
that I've sinned
through my own fault,
in my thoughts and my words,
in what I have done and
what I have failed to do."
That's the Catholic
confessional prayer.
And we profiled that Sicarius
had something on Silvio.
What if it's him?
What's his name?
Nobody.
Silvio, I'm gonna
be honest with you.
When we brought you here,
we thought you were
protecting a killer.
But you know what I think now?
I think you were
protecting him from one.
See, it's the prayer
that gives it away.
He's threatening you
over what you did.
Or what you failed to do.
Hey. Could I have a minute?
Silvio, I'm Tara.
I work with the BAU.
Good for you.
You here to trick me, too?
No.
No more tricks.
I'm a forensic psychologist.
It means I study psychopaths.
I identify the markers
that make them dangerous.
Do you know what markers
I see when I look at you?
None of them.
Not one.
I do know you, though.
Do you?
I do.
You know, I was married once.
Didn't work out.
And I thought, "Man,
relationships...
They're not for me."
And then, I met this woman.
And she just, um,
she lit up my life.
And I was so confused at
first because I never thought
that my happily ever after
was going to be with someone
who is the same gender
as me, you know?
Yeah, gang life? I get it.
Can't be vulnerable.
Can't show weakness.
Can't be yourself.
The guy that is
doing this to you,
he knows that.
He is betting on you following
the cultural rules of machismo
all the way to the end.
That's not it.
I mean, you're right...
about him.
Mi novio.
But that's not it.
Okay.
Then what is it?
The photos were a reminder
that he could kill mi
novio whenever he wanted.
So if I die, then
he'll finally be free.
Silvio, we can
protect him and you.
All you have to do
is give me a name.
Nah.
You can't.
You don't pull a
pendejo from death row
'cause I'm your best bet.
It's over.
And I'm done talking.
Those photos you scanned,
I put them through
facial recognition
and the name of your
guy is Juan Gutierrez.
Looks like Juan was
Silvio's right-hand man
in Mala Noche's local
narcotics distribution.
Do we know where Juan is now?
I've been running
recent addresses.
It's super weird.
It's like he fell off the
face of the planet in 2005.
Does Juan have any aliases?
I'm checking for that now, too.
What was that?
My cat.
Are you safe?
That sounded like Bigfoot.
Okay, I'll have you
know that the reason
why I'm working from home
for the rest of the day
is because I'm trying to get
the Black Queen and Sergio
to learn to share
space, and that...
Hey, guess what?
Mr. Juan Gutierrez may have
outrun his sordid past,
but he did not outrun me.
His new name is Samuel Ortiz
and he now resides
in Norfolk, Virginia.
Alright, I-I say we get
the Norfolk division
to bring him in for questioning.
Great work, Penelope.
My pleasure.
Go feed that cat.
Oh.
Thank you.
No problem.
It's the least I can do.
Thank you for looking
out for me today.
Yeah. I just wish I would
have got to you sooner
before they messed that
very symmetrical face up.
You know what I always thought?
When I finally found
proof that he took Alison,
that it'd bring me
some sense of closure.
But there's still just...
so much pain, you know?
I can't describe it.
It's like... It's like...
There's this hole and you think
you can fill it
with the answers,
and then you get the answers
and it doesn't fill the hole.
It just makes the
hole different.
Exactly.
I felt it, too.
My parents were killed
by a drunk driver.
I'm so sorry.
Oh.
Uh, oh.
Uh, we should go on a walk.
A walk?
Yes, we should,
'cause walks are outside
and they're very sobering
and they're in the air
and there's people.
We should walk. Th... Th...
Around here, there
are so many good...
Well, shit.
Do you think
they'll figure out who it was?
No.
I'm not a dumbass.
I always make sure there's
never enough evidence
to lead back to me.
And in this case,
I got a fall guy.
Timing's a little funny, though.
What do you mean?
I mean, there hasn't been any
activity around these parts
since before I lived here.
So it's a little funny.
The Durham County
Sheriff Department
just so happened to
come sniffing around.
The hell
you think you're going?
To talk to the cops again?
I didn't say anything to anyone.
How could I?
You never let me go
anywhere without you.
That's right.
You can't go nowhere without me.
I don't need you anymore.
I'm out.
Over my dead body.
That's the smartest thing
you've ever done, boy.
You kill me now, the sheriff
will know it was you.
Maybe you have been listening.
You'll be back.
I'm all you got.
Mr. Gutierrez, we
brought you here
because new evidence
has come to light
in the Silvio Herrera case.
Juan, we know Silvio
was keeping a secret.
You weren't just
partners in crime,
you were romantic
partners as well.
Yes.
Silvio and I were...
We loved each other.
We couldn't be out back then.
Not in Raleigh. Definitely
not in the Mala Noche.
Are you sure that no
one knew about you two?
We had to be good
about hiding it.
But a few weeks before
Silvio was arrested,
we were discovered by this
man that we bought guns from.
This guy, Cyrus.
We had to pay him
off to keep quiet,
but I remember how obsessed
he used to be with Maria.
And I always thought
he had something
to do with killing her.
You never suspected Silvio?
He didn't kill Maria.
How can you be so sure?
Because I was with him
the night she disappeared.
We went to a drag
ball in Kitts Creek.
It was our first time being
together around other people.
Can you prove that?
I have pictures from that night.
Why didn't you hand
them over sooner?
I tried, but Silvio
didn't want my help.
He told me he would
deny everything.
And a day later, he confessed.
Juan, if you give those
pictures to us, the FBI can...
I don't need promises.
I stopped living in fear
when I left Raleigh.
Silvio has lost most of his
life trying to protect me.
And it's about time
I return the favor.
Silvio Herrera's
refusing to talk anymore.
He is being transferred back
for execution at midnight.
He didn't do it.
We can take what we have
to the Attorney General.
It's a sliver, but
it is something.
But first, it would
certainly help
if the original prosecutor
withdrew the case.
Do you want me to talk to her?
No. No, I'll do it.
This is impossible.
It's exonerating.
And we have an
alternate suspect...
An illegal gun dealer who
went by the name Cyrus.
He sold guns to the Mala Noche.
He showed an interest
in Maria Jones.
He found out the Juan
and Silvio were lovers
and then he blackmailed Silvio.
Back then, there was this Cyrus
suspected of running guns,
but that name never
came up in the trial.
Rebecca, we are
running out of time.
You are the only person
who can pick up the phone
and convince the governor
to stay this execution.
I want you to tell me something.
Tell me what happens
when I make that call.
Honestly, I don't know.
Now, tell me that Silvio
Herrera is 100% innocent.
I'd bet my life on it.
It's been a long time
since I've been down here.
My sister worked around here.
I tell you, Alison sounds
like she was the best.
Yeah, she was.
Actually, we're really close
to where she used to work.
It's right around the corner.
This little dive
called Delilah's.
Delilah's? Wasn't
that where...
It's okay. Yeah, it's where
she wanted me to meet her
the night she went missing.
Everything okay?
Oak Street.
Oak Street wasn't
always Oak Street.
I'm sorry? Taxi!
Tyler, uh, I'm so sorry.
Here... Here are my, uh, keys.
You can wait there
and I-I can...
I can meet you at
my place later.
I just... I have to
get back to the office.
What? Can I help?
Um, no. No, you can't.
I...
Okay, I-I gotta go.
Goodbye.
Hey.
I am so sorry I... I
know I did the right...
You first.
I know I did the right thing,
but I got the call.
I'm under review.
This wasn't your fault.
I-I should have
been... Let me finish.
I have never not
been on your side.
But you couldn't be honest
with me about what you needed.
And that's not fair.
Um, can we talk
about this at home?
No.
Uh, um, why not?
Because I'm not going home.
Please give me some good news.
Alright.
I've been building
a geo-profile.
A fraction of victims from
his Yakima County container
were reported missing.
You go to Whitfield County,
and the victim type
shifts drastically.
They're all parents.
The kind of people that get
search parties and news stories.
So they're a challenge for him?
That's why he leaves
them in Georgia,
far away from where he lives.
He wouldn't want
to risk authorities
conducting a search
anywhere near his backyard.
We know he revisits the victims,
so the first container
was likely close
to where he actually lives.
- You got it.
- Hey! Hey!
Forgive me. I know this is not
my area of expertise, but...
But I was on a walk
with... Never mind that.
Suffice to say, I think
that I have something
that will help us with
the Sicarius profile,
I just need...
Yes. I need this.
Okay. Okay, look, all of
the identified victims,
no exceptions, have a
connection to the name
of a single location...
Second Street.
Uh, I'm not qu...
Quite following.
I-I-I looked at all the
victim's biographies and...
And it's bananas.
Every single time, whether
it was where they worked,
where they hung out,
where they were last seen,
each and every one
crossed a Second Street
before they went missing.
Alison Green wouldn't
fit that pattern.
I mean, there's nothing
here that says that she...
Alison Green... Alison
Green worked at Delilah's,
which still exists
and is on Oak Street,
but in 2007, Oak Street was
an extension of Second Street.
She's right.
Basically, in whatever city
Sicarius finds himself,
Second Street is his
preferred hunting ground.
And maybe it's...
It's wishful thinking
because Second Street is, like,
the most common name of a
street in the United States,
but maybe it means
something to him.
It's not a coincidence.
Where he hunts is rooted
in something that's
deeply personal to him.
And who he hunts is a
form of transference.
Transference?
Meaning you think
Sicarius is a father.
I do, because as a
parent, i-i-it...
It might explain why there's
so many gaps between kills.
The cooling off
periods might line up
with his children's births.
Father by day, serial
killer by night.
That's why he's so disciplined,
but that's how we're gonna
catch this son of a bitch.
Through his family.
Well, well.
The prodigal son returns.
Took you long enough.
Yeah, sometimes when
I close my eyes,
it's like I never left.
Oh.
That's what you been doing
the last 20 fucking years?
Yeah. Just thinking
about this place?
Even after I went to school.
After I fell in love, got
married, had two daughters,
I can't get this fucking
place out of my head.
Huh.
After everything I taught you,
you still think
you can be normal.
No, I'm still what you made me.
Oh.
Is that why you came back, huh?
To blame me? I
could've had a chance.
I could've been different.
No, you couldn't.
Our vice is in our blood.
Need I remind you
of the real reason you
came into my custody?
It's you.
The one they're
all talking about.
Sicarius.
Did you come here to kill me?
Oh, I already killed
you an hour ago.
Slipped some
naproxen in your IV.
I just came here to
watch an old man die.
I see.
You dumb son of a bitch.
If I die, they'll
connect me to you.
No, they won't.
They'll just find a lonely old
man who died of kidney failure.
I always knew it.
Family's what gets you killed.
You'll find that
out soon enough.
And that little family of yours?
Yeah.
They'll find out, too.
