TV-Serie: Criminal Minds - 18x1
Last season on Criminal Minds: Evolution...
We are pursuing the leader of a network of serial killers.
The unsub, Elias Voit, gathered followers that he's now activating.
This is a network.
What is this I'm hearing about a certain résumé being submitted by a certain someone to Quantico?
I've given HR my résumé.
They haven't said yes yet, but...
They're gonna say yes.
How long has this been going on?
A couple weeks.
We, you know, we decided that we're more miserable apart than together.
The DOJ is prepared to offer you a deal.
He can do that?
Just agree to work with a prolific killer?
The BAU will work with Elias Voit.
We will not.
Oh, you most certainly will.
We will not rely on help from a serial killer.
We'll cooperate.
Director Madison is honoring Voit's plea agreement.
Which means he is going to be transferred to FCI Collymore, a minimum-security federal prison.
Isn't it weird to anyone else that Voit wants to be in general population?
You're Elias Voit, aren't you?
Nah, uh, Lee Duval.
You got the wrong guy.
No, you're Voit.
Come on, seriously?
Dude, I'm being completely serious.
Well, what are we gonna do?
We can't make that deadline.
We need to have an answer by tomorrow.
Fine, we'll figure it out tomorrow.
Good night.
Good night.
Excuse me.
I'm, like, totally lost.
And I'm trying to find Bethany Beach.
Am I-am I close?
You're asking the wrong guy.
I'm new here.
Yeah, me, too.
Google Maps was working great and then I just, like, lost all my bars.
You know what I mean?
When you have service and then, uhp, no, you don't.
Yeah, I-I know what you mean.
I've got two bars.
If you give me the address, I can look it up for you.
Yeah, it's, uh, one, one, four, zero.
Wha...
Dispatch, we got a possible 10-14.
Stopping to investigate.
Over.
Hey.
Buddy.
You okay?
No.
How much you take tonight, huh?
You need an ambulance?
Officer, can I...
can I talk to you for a second?
Help me.
Help.
It's, uh, it's my big brother.
He's-he's, uh, he's a junkie.
I-I don't really know how much he took, but it's pretty tough on my mom and dad.
They don't know.
It looks like he just fell on his face.
You know?
This is where he comes to get his shit, I think, but I-I don't really know.
I-I just kind of want to get him home.
No.
No.
Hey, look who's back.
You almost died tonight, pal.
Get home safe.
Help.
Help.
Do you like the water?
♪ Living the life I know ♪ ♪ Watching the sun set...
♪ Oh, man.
She is so thirsty.
I bet if we posted something like that, it would go viral.
We should totally do that.
Bull sharks can live in both salt and fresh water.
Hey, check it, bruv.
Look at this one.
Crustaceans, marine mammals, birds, - turtles, anything that...
I hate this so much.
This is so annoying.
I need another drink.
♪ Spinning around got me...
♪ Where are we going?
I'm going swimming.
Dumbass.
Hold up.
I'll come, too.
I didn't invite you.
What, you gonna go swimming all by yourself?
Seems to me you need a lifeguard, and I volunteer as tribute.
How many beers have you had tonight?
What?
How many beers?
I don't know.
I do.
Six.
You counted?
Yeah.
Why?
Because I'm a woman at a party by herself.
That's why.
I'm not drunk.
That's debatable.
What isn't is that you've been hitting your vape pen all night.
Which means, A, you smell like a concentrated Hello Kitty, and, B, you do not have the lung capacity to keep up with me.
Well, you know what I think?
I think you're a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else.
Not everyone.
Just you.
So do me a favor.
Fuck off.
Wait.
W-W...
Bitch, I know MMA.
No, look.
Oh, my God.
You didn't notice anything wrong until you got down here?
No.
I had to keep my eye on Prince Charming over there.
Look, do you need me for anything else?
Can I go?
You can, but don't leave town.
We haven't had a case like this round these parts in ten years.
Actually, Sheriff, this might not be your case at all.
Who are you?
SSAs Prentiss, Rossi and Jareau, Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI.
FBI?
What's the FBI doing here?
Seeing if a signature on this body matches four others that have washed up on beaches across the Eastern Seaboard.
What signature?
Let us check and we'll tell you.
You see it?
Yeah, I see it.
It's him.
Wait, who's him?
The unknown subject, or unsub.
He punctures holes up and down his victims' rib cage.
Why?
It speaks to cause and manner of death, which helps establish a signature.
In this case, to ensure the body fills with salt water and it sinks.
And you think my dead guy is part of your serial investigation?
We do now.
Can you stop him? "
All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was."
Toni Morrison.
All right, trainee, you're in the hot seat.
Practice round.
Present the case.
Five bodies so far, connected via stab wounds to the chest.
So stabbing is his paraphilia?
No, it is a forensic countermeasure.
Hmm.
What makes it a countermeasure?
The Gulf Stream and marine life predation.
They make victimology and trace evidence almost impossible to discern.
We haven't even identified two of the victims yet.
Until we do, forget about an accurate timeline.
All right.
One last question.
Are you kidding me with that?
Ooh.
So cute.
They still make you carry a fake gun?
Just until I complete my training.
So I can get used to the weight of the service weapon on my hip.
Until then, I get by with this.
It's not quite the same thing, but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it, you know?
That's nice.
You get your field office assignment yet?
It's happening this week.
Oh.
Any requests?
Number one is D.C.
to be close to you guys, of course.
And, uh, number two is anywhere but Anchorage, Alaska.
Not a fan of the snow, huh?
Not a fan of five and a half hours of sunlight during the winter.
Again?
Sixth time in six months.
Geez.
OPR just won't give up.
Yeah.
Second practice round.
What does OPR stand for?
Office of Professional Responsibility, aka the FBI's Internal Affairs.
How long are they gonna keep questioning Rossi?
Till they get the answers they want.
All right.
We're on the record.
Agent Beatriz Carr with Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi.
How are you today, Agent Rossi?
Peachy.
My office has some additional questions regarding the assault on Elias Voit at Collymore prison.
My answer is as it has always been.
I don't know how it happened.
I played no role in it happening.
Yes.
You've been remarkably...
consistent.
Just to review, FCI Collymore is a minimum security prison.
Filled with low-level offenders.
Oh, and Elias Voit.
Yes.
And Elias Voit.
Who was attacked by two cannabis distributors who made the mistake of crossing state lines.
So, what's your question?
I just came into receipt of a conversation Mr.
Voit had before his transfer.
At the time, his lawyer was present, so the cameras were off.
But once the FBI entered his cell, privilege no longer applied.
What do you mean, once the FBI entered?
For the record, I am now playing exhibit 2233 for Agent Rossi.
The guards were rebooting the system when you entered.
The microphones turned on before the cameras, so all we have is audio.
I know you think you could Houdini out of Collymore, but gen pop is no place for a serial killer.
Dahmer.
Kibbe.
Harvey.
All of them died at the hands of other prisoners.
Because you build prison cred by spilling blood like yours.
Can you explain this?
I don't need to.
You told Voit exactly what would happen to him.
That's not suspicious at all?
No.
It's my job.
To predict antisocial behavior.
Uh-huh.
And can you provide any evidence that you weren't responsible for the attack on Voit?
I can't prove a negative.
For the sake of your career, I suggest you try.
If I wanted Elias Voit dead, he would be dead.
Oh, and he's not dead, is he?
Oh.
You're here again?
Yeah.
I can't help it.
It's so weird.
He's so...
non-psychopathic.
You know, sometimes he makes little puppy noises.
Like...
Like that.
Any update?
No.
I mean...
This is what he was like when they brought him in.
He could wake up tomorrow or never again.
His last MRI indicated traumatic brain injury to his prefrontal and occipital lobes.
But that's not the weird part.
Oh.
It never is with him, is it?
Voit has complex cerebral scarring, some of the damage goes back decades.
His brain looks more like a retired linebacker than an average 40-year-old man.
Oh, uh, be careful.
Only one of his arms is cuffed.
No, it's okay.
I-I supervised this myself.
Watch.
Just a drill, thank you.
So...
I know why I'm here.
Why are you?
Voit's attending got the final incident report from Collymore.
I asked for a copy in the case it could get Rossi out of hot water.
Man, you are in a coma, and you're still all up in Rossi's business.
I can't figure out how Voit is still alive.
There were no cameras in the laundry room.
But according to the report, he was stabbed three times, turned around, got the shank out of his attackers' hands, killed them and then collapsed.
That must have been one hell of a fight.
Yeah.
So, how did he do it?
Mother...
What...
Ooh.
I recognize that tone.
Either your husband or your kids did something to get under your skin.
In the ballpark.
Will's mom is flying in for Michael's birthday.
Last time she did that, she decided to surprise all of us when she got Michael a hamster.
Honestly, I would trade with you.
Why?
What's up?
My dad wants to meet Rebecca so he can...
and this is a direct quote... "
size her up."
Mm.
Okay.
Different generation.
Probably doesn't approve.
Yeah, but not in the way that you think.
I mean, I was married to a white guy before, which he wasn't crazy about, and now I'm getting serious with a woman.
And he's convinced that it's his parenting that's resulted in my choice of partners.
Yeah, well, we know that's not true.
Eh...
Good news on our ocean drownings.
Locals just made a positive ID on the most recent victim.
Guy's name is David Hartle.
How'd Ocean City ping him so fast?
Sheer luck.
Cold front changed the currents on the unsub.
So Hartle washed up quicker than the others.
Fingers crossed, there's a clue on him that wasn't washed away or eaten by fish.
Do we have the ME report here?
Yeah, just came in.
Oh, great.
Guy had aerosolized fentanyl in his lungs.
Not enough for an overdose.
But enough to knock him out temporarily.
And check this out.
There was brown residue found on his teeth.
The ME identified it as swimmer's calculus.
Okay, this has to do with the pH of the water, right?
Yeah.
Ocean water pH is about 8.1.
The more alkaline the water, the higher the pH, the more it stains the teeth.
The most common cause of this kind of swimmer's calculus is...
Chlorine.
Bingo.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're telling us that David Hartle drowned in a pool and not the ocean?
According to those dental records, yeah.
The ME couldn't believe it either.
Okay, so he's not stabbing his victims in the chest as a countermeasure.
Are you sure?
He needs to make sure the bodies sink.
Isn't that still a countermeasure?
Yeah.
But it's a misdirect.
He wants us to look in the ocean but he doesn't kill there.
No, of course not.
Plus the ocean's...
it's too chaotic.
I mean, it would have to be an environment that he had complete control.
One where he could extend the torture for as long as he wants.
He's drowning them in his own backyard.
I can't...
Please...
Please...
I'm so tired.
I can't...
I can't...
No.
I'm not doing that.
Ugh, Dave, come on.
Emily, no.
Why not?
What good will it do?
This is the incident report from the laundry room at Collymore.
Don't you think we should review it?
I did.
I read it.
You read it.
There's nothing in there that proves that I didn't have Voit shanked.
But the Bureau of Prisons investigative unit isn't us.
Maybe if we put our heads together we can see something they missed.
Uh...
no.
Why not?
Listen.
Ever since Voit's been in a coma, I stopped seeing him, I stopped talking to him.
I don't want to do anything that might make that happen.
Again.
Okay.
Then don't talk to him.
Talk to me.
We have worked too hard to let Voit take your job away now.
When you first looked at the report...
...what did you notice?
Bleach.
Me too.
It was found on one of the attackers.
So Voit got a shot in.
Yeah, but it didn't help.
They still overpowered him.
What was the second thing?
Cleaning supplies.
They fell off the closet onto the floor.
But some of the contents fell as far as five feet away.
Now that wouldn't happen from a simple collision with the closet.
There too much velocity involved.
Yeah, that happened because...
He was r-reaching for something in there...
...that he'd hidden.
FBOP didn't find anything.
Huh.
How deep were the shank wounds on Voit?
About one inch.
And how about his attackers?
Six inches.
That seems a little strange, doesn't it?
The investigators theorized that Voit was fighting for his life.
So he didn't just stab them, he drove the shank in as deep as he could.
And are you buying what they're selling you?
They had no other conclusions to draw.
No evidence, no proof.
Yeah, but we both know Voit.
Are you buying it?
It would only make sense if Voit had another weapon.
Ah.
Hmm.
What?
I need to get into that laundry room.
Can you make that happen?
I guess.
Why?
You just make it happen.
Here's the thing.
If these victims are drowning in a pool...
I mean, long enough for their teeth to stain brown...
it means they're treading for hours.
Yeah, so the pool has to be deep enough that they can't touch.
That means it's probably custom-built.
Seven feet all around.
He gets off on watching them get tired.
Slowly succumb, and then...
he feels this power in choosing not to save them.
Like a submersion or asphyxiation fetish.
Yeah, but with no consistent victimology.
You know, I might be wrong, but this doesn't read as sexual.
It's more like he's trying to work something out through his victims.
Well, aquaphobia is incredibly common.
Something like 46% of Americans fear deep water in pools, and 64% of them fear open water, so...
So what you're saying is something drowning-related happened to this guy and now he's revisiting it on everyone he kidnaps?
Yeah, possibly.
I mean, we've...
we've seen weirder.
Yeah.
Yo!
Yo, yo, yo!
Over here!
Ah, right on cue.
Yo!
Come!
Friendships come!
Okay, it's not demure or mindful, but, yo, this is nuts.
This is like, uh, the mammals with the teeth...
Like Chip and Dale nuts, like, "how much water does it take to make pistachios" nuts.
Penelope.
What did you find?
Firstly, possible victim Chet Williams has been reported missing.
Fan of the Delaware surf.
That's where he was last seen.
The identified victims and Chet all recently visited, according to their search history, AirBeachAndBed.com.
All of them.
What do you make of it, huh?
I don't get it.
The victims were all looking for vacation rentals?
Beach rentals, specifically.
But how would he get ahold of that information?
Does he work there?
Well, he wouldn't have to.
I mean, user information gets sold all the time to data brokers, credit card companies, marketers.
So, one of these companies could be hiding our unsub.
Then we shouldn't deliver this profile to the police.
We need to talk to whoever runs this website.
And tell them their users are targets of a serial killer?
They won't admit to anything.
They can't without risking liability.
They don't have to.
Maybe delivering the profile could be enough.
Uh-huh.
Hey, it's me.
I need your help with something.
Thank you for coming.
On behalf of the Department of Justice, we appreciate you agreeing to assist us in this matter.
We also appreciate that, as lobbyists for a rental property website, you have all signed NDAs.
Then you know that's gonna limit how much we can cooperate.
We do.
We are just hoping that you will use the sway you have with your website to help us in our investigation.
How do you know there is a killer?
I haven't seen anything about it in the papers.
Well, you wouldn't.
We don't normally share the details of an ongoing investigation with general public unless, of course, it can help with our investigation.
We are not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing.
We are just asking for your assistance.
This unknown subject is methodical, very dangerous and...
Okay.
Here we go.
Now we look for their micro-expressions.
See what these guys give away without realizing they're giving it away.
Won't this crowd have a better poker face than that?
You can't control an involuntary response from the amygdala.
No matter how good you think you are at bluffing.
Don't ask.
Now I have to.
I just said don't ask.
Okay.
If they stick to form, they'll start with a loud denial.
Most likely from a previously agreed-upon spokesperson.
Him.
Dapper white dude, front row?
Yep.
Ooh, I got him!
...victims.
Well, we are one of the most popular vacation search sites after Google.
We can't control that.
Well, we're hoping you'll give us a list of your employees and third party brokers who access your data.
Absolutely not.
We don't sell our data.
The company's very clear about that in its terms of service.
Could be a breach.
There are no breaches.
That you can admit to publicly.
But we assure you that any help you can give us will stay confidential.
We're not cooperating any further.
All right, Tara.
That's enough good cop.
Let's cut to the chase.
Your website's business model isn't based on getting people into rentals.
It's based on selling out anyone who taps that "accept cookies" button.
Someone is exploiting that to kill innocent men and women.
Front row, right side.
Who's that?
Richard Downey.
Why?
He looked down when she said "kill."
Companies pay big money for your users.
We have accepted that as a part of the digital economy.
But what we don't accept is you treating five victims as acceptable losses so you could make your quarterly earnings.
And we think that their murders are worth more than your 401K.
With all due respect, their murders are more important than your 401K.
That looks involuntary to me.
What's he hiding?
I don't know.
What I can tell you is that Downey got his MBA at Stanford after serving three tours of duty in Iraq.
Back to back?
Yes indeedy.
I still got my dog tags.
You got yours?
Yes indeedy.
Hey.
So, how is this for a birthday that ends in zero?
I mean, this is...
speechless.
Like, "take my breath away" speechless.
How did you even find this place?
I looked up "perfect sunset getaways," and this came up.
Well, it is perfect.
No.
This is perfect.
Oh, no, no.
It's not time for gifts yet.
No, it's okay.
Just open it.
Ah.
Thanks?
Turn it over.
Ta-da! "
Here's to your liver"?
Come on, I'm not that much of a lush, am I?
No...
Well, only on your birthday, when it's allowed.
I don't know.
Oh, wait!
Selfie time?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Honey, no, no, no, I look terrible.
No, no, no, you look great, plus I want to remember this.
Okay.
Come on.
Oh, wait, Dad, tuck in, get closer.
Okay, all right, where am I looking?
You're looking at the pinhole on the right.
It's the same place it always is.
All right.
Okay, smile.
Okay.
And smile.
Take lots, take a bunch.
I am, I am.
Okay, and...
All right, let me see.
I get veto power.
Okay, Mom, you look great.
Okay.
Oh, these are awesome.
These are kind of cute.
What the hell is this?
Mr.
Downey, I'm SSA Alvez with the FBI.
This is Agent Green.
We just have a few follow-up questions we wanted to ask you about the drowning case.
Am I under arrest?
No.
Then why am I here?
'Cause we already told you no.
So you guys served, so what?
We know that you're being pulled in two different directions right now.
Look, on one hand, you're an employee.
On the other, you swore an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
All we're trying to do is stop one of those enemies.
Okay?
Someone who is using your website against you.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.
Yes, you can.
We'll tell you how to open up a back door to the site.
We can do the rest.
That won't work.
IT will flag it, they'll know it's me.
And spoiler alert, my company is not a big fan of whistleblowers.
Well...
that's where I come in.
Dad, what choice do we have?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Shh, shh, shh.
No, okay?
This is not happening.
Do you understand?
It's not.
Dad, he-he...
It's not!
If we do this, we're dead.
I said get in.
I trust you.
No.
No, I'm not gonna let you do this...
Okay.
Get in.
Just get in.
Just get in.
Okay.
Okay.
Wait.
W-Wait.
What about Dad?
It's gonna be okay.
Just do it.
Uh, okay.
Okay.
WOMAN It's gonna be okay.
But Dad.
But Dad's right there.
All right.
Oh, I can't...
I can't touch the bottom.
Neither can I.
I can't touch it anywhere.
Move.
Vivian, take off your clothes, anything that's gonna weigh you down.
It's okay.
Gonna be okay.
Just trust me.
Okay.
Oh, is this what you want?
You creep!
Stop.
Stop talking.
Why?
'Cause we're gonna need our energy.
All of it.
Agent Ivan needs to get back to us, and...
Give me a minute.
You want to play a real-life game of Clue with me?
Why do I feel like you've already won?
Maybe.
I'll start.
Professor Voit in the laundry room with a...
Shank made from the wired cover of a fan.
What in the world?
A weapon that Voit made to fight off his attackers.
How'd you know?
He told me.
I got stuff, I got filtered water, got a fan.
But how did you find it?
Every washing machine has a drain pan underneath it.
Based on where the guards found Voit's body, there was only one place he could have hidden it.
So now we know how he fought them off.
But how did he know they were coming?
He was in a minimum-security prison.
Those two weren't killers.
I checked their records.
They were gonna be in there for a while.
So they were enticed?
Yeah.
Okay, but Voit wasn't in there as Voit.
He was registered under his birth name, Lee Duval.
Well, someone let the cat out of the bag.
So, besides us, who knew Voit was Voit?
You.
Freeze.
Moi?
What is this that I hear about you sitting bedside with Voit?
It's nothing.
It's something.
I mean, what, are you reading him a bedtime story?
No.
Come here.
Okay.
So, do you remember the last time we were in the field with Voit, and I had to stop him and Tyler from killing each other?
I remember you taking off your glasses.
How I knew you were serious.
Right.
So I looked in his eyes.
And I mean, I went deep in there, and I saw...
...stuff.
What?
A soul.
Oh, all right, come on.
No, I...
I know.
I know.
He-He's a psychopath.
All I can do is tell you what I saw, and I saw an ember of something.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't see anything, all right?
But I believe that you believe it.
Thank you.
Here's what I want to know.
What do you get from sitting next to him now?
I'm hoping...
I can see something salvageable in him.
You know, I never got heartburn before I met you.
Never.
It's my freakish empathy.
It's giving you the heebies.
But I can stave off the jeebies because I have done some good work on this case.
May I?
Ah.
So, that mole we got from the website?
I got the user data of our victims.
All of them.
Including the two that we couldn't ID?
Yeah, including them.
This is Mila Stevens and Joel Tanner.
They were the missing people that most closely match what little the local police could give us.
All right.
Where are they on the timeline with the other victims?
Numbers one and two.
Okay.
Where are they originally from?
Chesapeake, Virginia, both of them.
All right, first victims always tell us the most because the unsub is still learning, so what did he learn?
Based on this map?
That he should go 100 miles in a different direction to find his next victim.
All right, so maybe after Mila and Joel, he stopped making the rookie mistake of hunting in his own backyard.
If he lives in or around Chesapeake, that could be where his pool is.
Chesapeake, custom pools, seven feet.
On it.
All right, now can you do more than one search at a time?
Ooh, science says asking a dumb question makes you less cute.
Uh, yes, I can.
All right, um, look, whatever made this guy start killing in this way might have happened in Chesapeake, too.
So, let's-let's look at, um, some water-based trauma.
Drowning, treading water.
Check lifeguard incident reports in the area.
Double quest.
Here we go.
Oh.
It's like my heartburn has just magically gone away.
Yeah, I'm a healer, that's why.
You are.
You are.
Oh.
What do we do?
What do we do?
What do we do?
Just, um, try...
Just, um...
just float.
What?
Okay?
Like this.
Just...
Just float.
Just float.
Just float.
What?
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Please.
No, please, please don't do this.
No.
Pl...
Hey.
What...
No, no, no, no.
You don't have to do this.
Please.
No, please.
Please.
Oh.
No.
Mom, what do we do?
Um...
um...
What do we do?
Just, uh...
Get under it.
Come on, just get under it.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
What do we do?
You don't have to do this!
Is there anything you can grab?
Oh.
Uh...
No.
No.
The walls?
No, I tried.
There's nothing to hold on to.
I don't want to die.
Hey, look at me.
Hey.
No, I don't...
I don't want...
You're not gonna die.
You're not.
All right.
Okay?
Slow it down.
Good.
That's it.
Curtis, Kristi and Vivian Estes.
Reported missing by Curtis' mom when they didn't return home from a birthday party.
And we're sure this is our unsub?
Well, geographically, it fits.
They were taken from a beach off Chesapeake.
That's a huge escalation.
Why would he take a whole family?
We might have an answer to that.
Meet the Fowler family.
Fifteen years ago, mother, father and daughter were found drowned under their pool tarp.
The only suspect was their son Franklin.
He was ten at the time.
Wait, so you're saying he killed his own family?
Well, the cops couldn't prove it at the time, but Dad was a lifeguard and Franklin couldn't pass his swimming test.
You don't kill your whole family over a swimming test.
You do if you suffer from asthma and your dad's a drunk that makes you take it over and over and over.
Okay, so, up till now, the unsub was disciplined.
He varied his victimology.
Till he saw the Estes.
They reminded him of his own family.
We have an address?
It's an isolated property close to the county line, in Chesapeake.
All right.
Let's get ready to roll.
You too.
Come on.
Mom, I'm...
I'm getting tired.
I don't know how much longer I can...
I know.
I know.
Okay.
Let's, uh...
I'm gonna try to...
Mom...
You can't do that forever.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Nothing.
I'm okay.
Hey, just look at me.
Hang onto me.
I got you.
I got you.
Hey, hey, I found zoning permits on Franklin Fowler's property.
Last year he installed a seven-foot pool.
That's definitely our unsub.
Let's go.
Any way I could trade up to a real gun?
No.
I can't.
I can't do it anymore.
That's okay.
Just take a break.
Do you want me to...
I can go down.
I can take a turn.
No.
No.
It'll just tire us out faster.
I can almost...
If I could just hold...
hold on to something.
Hang on.
Hang on a second.
Here, try this.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh, it's working.
All right, just hang on to me.
You guys take the house.
We'll go in the back.
Dive!
Shots fired!
Franklin Fowler, drop the weapon!
Don't do it.
Shoot me, how you gonna save them?
Without this.
Or maybe...
that was the plan all along.
Good luck.
Help!
Just hang on!
My mom's been shot.
We're trying!
Right there.
Help!
Cut it!
Just cut it!
Help!
Hang on.
We're coming.
Hang on!
Move!
Go!
I got her.
You got her?
I got her.
I got you.
My mom...
I got you.
You're okay.
I can't.
Clear.
Mommy.
We got her back.
She's gonna be okay.
All right.
Coming through, please.
All right.
Hey, nice work.
Thanks, man.
You too.
Oh.
Who-Whose is that?
Not me.
Uh, it's mine.
Oh, wow.
What is it?
I got my field assignment.
- Hey.
Anchorage?
No.
Mobile, Alabama.
All right.
Huh.
That's not bad.
It's not.
I just, uh...
I guess I don't want to leave the BAU.
Aw.
Well...
It's not forever.
No.
It's just five years, right?
Mm...
Mm.
Right?
It's five years until you make the jump to supervisory special agent.
And then ten years until you can join the BAU.
Ten?
Yeah.
It's, uh, it's ten.
Sorry, champ.
Good knowing you, rookie.
Only a decade.
Ten.
Come in.
So...
...no luck on who knew Voit was in minimum security.
Let me tell you this, finding his weapon earned me some good will with OPR.
That doesn't mean you didn't do it.
You know, that agent who's been on my ass has made that same point.
Yes, it sounds like classic internal affairs strategy.
Give you just enough rope to hang yourself.
Yeah, well, I get to show up for work tomorrow, but I'm good with that.
Go
We are pursuing the leader of a network of serial killers.
The unsub, Elias Voit, gathered followers that he's now activating.
This is a network.
What is this I'm hearing about a certain résumé being submitted by a certain someone to Quantico?
I've given HR my résumé.
They haven't said yes yet, but...
They're gonna say yes.
How long has this been going on?
A couple weeks.
We, you know, we decided that we're more miserable apart than together.
The DOJ is prepared to offer you a deal.
He can do that?
Just agree to work with a prolific killer?
The BAU will work with Elias Voit.
We will not.
Oh, you most certainly will.
We will not rely on help from a serial killer.
We'll cooperate.
Director Madison is honoring Voit's plea agreement.
Which means he is going to be transferred to FCI Collymore, a minimum-security federal prison.
Isn't it weird to anyone else that Voit wants to be in general population?
You're Elias Voit, aren't you?
Nah, uh, Lee Duval.
You got the wrong guy.
No, you're Voit.
Come on, seriously?
Dude, I'm being completely serious.
Well, what are we gonna do?
We can't make that deadline.
We need to have an answer by tomorrow.
Fine, we'll figure it out tomorrow.
Good night.
Good night.
Excuse me.
I'm, like, totally lost.
And I'm trying to find Bethany Beach.
Am I-am I close?
You're asking the wrong guy.
I'm new here.
Yeah, me, too.
Google Maps was working great and then I just, like, lost all my bars.
You know what I mean?
When you have service and then, uhp, no, you don't.
Yeah, I-I know what you mean.
I've got two bars.
If you give me the address, I can look it up for you.
Yeah, it's, uh, one, one, four, zero.
Wha...
Dispatch, we got a possible 10-14.
Stopping to investigate.
Over.
Hey.
Buddy.
You okay?
No.
How much you take tonight, huh?
You need an ambulance?
Officer, can I...
can I talk to you for a second?
Help me.
Help.
It's, uh, it's my big brother.
He's-he's, uh, he's a junkie.
I-I don't really know how much he took, but it's pretty tough on my mom and dad.
They don't know.
It looks like he just fell on his face.
You know?
This is where he comes to get his shit, I think, but I-I don't really know.
I-I just kind of want to get him home.
No.
No.
Hey, look who's back.
You almost died tonight, pal.
Get home safe.
Help.
Help.
Do you like the water?
♪ Living the life I know ♪ ♪ Watching the sun set...
♪ Oh, man.
She is so thirsty.
I bet if we posted something like that, it would go viral.
We should totally do that.
Bull sharks can live in both salt and fresh water.
Hey, check it, bruv.
Look at this one.
Crustaceans, marine mammals, birds, - turtles, anything that...
I hate this so much.
This is so annoying.
I need another drink.
♪ Spinning around got me...
♪ Where are we going?
I'm going swimming.
Dumbass.
Hold up.
I'll come, too.
I didn't invite you.
What, you gonna go swimming all by yourself?
Seems to me you need a lifeguard, and I volunteer as tribute.
How many beers have you had tonight?
What?
How many beers?
I don't know.
I do.
Six.
You counted?
Yeah.
Why?
Because I'm a woman at a party by herself.
That's why.
I'm not drunk.
That's debatable.
What isn't is that you've been hitting your vape pen all night.
Which means, A, you smell like a concentrated Hello Kitty, and, B, you do not have the lung capacity to keep up with me.
Well, you know what I think?
I think you're a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else.
Not everyone.
Just you.
So do me a favor.
Fuck off.
Wait.
W-W...
Bitch, I know MMA.
No, look.
Oh, my God.
You didn't notice anything wrong until you got down here?
No.
I had to keep my eye on Prince Charming over there.
Look, do you need me for anything else?
Can I go?
You can, but don't leave town.
We haven't had a case like this round these parts in ten years.
Actually, Sheriff, this might not be your case at all.
Who are you?
SSAs Prentiss, Rossi and Jareau, Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI.
FBI?
What's the FBI doing here?
Seeing if a signature on this body matches four others that have washed up on beaches across the Eastern Seaboard.
What signature?
Let us check and we'll tell you.
You see it?
Yeah, I see it.
It's him.
Wait, who's him?
The unknown subject, or unsub.
He punctures holes up and down his victims' rib cage.
Why?
It speaks to cause and manner of death, which helps establish a signature.
In this case, to ensure the body fills with salt water and it sinks.
And you think my dead guy is part of your serial investigation?
We do now.
Can you stop him? "
All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was."
Toni Morrison.
All right, trainee, you're in the hot seat.
Practice round.
Present the case.
Five bodies so far, connected via stab wounds to the chest.
So stabbing is his paraphilia?
No, it is a forensic countermeasure.
Hmm.
What makes it a countermeasure?
The Gulf Stream and marine life predation.
They make victimology and trace evidence almost impossible to discern.
We haven't even identified two of the victims yet.
Until we do, forget about an accurate timeline.
All right.
One last question.
Are you kidding me with that?
Ooh.
So cute.
They still make you carry a fake gun?
Just until I complete my training.
So I can get used to the weight of the service weapon on my hip.
Until then, I get by with this.
It's not quite the same thing, but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it, you know?
That's nice.
You get your field office assignment yet?
It's happening this week.
Oh.
Any requests?
Number one is D.C.
to be close to you guys, of course.
And, uh, number two is anywhere but Anchorage, Alaska.
Not a fan of the snow, huh?
Not a fan of five and a half hours of sunlight during the winter.
Again?
Sixth time in six months.
Geez.
OPR just won't give up.
Yeah.
Second practice round.
What does OPR stand for?
Office of Professional Responsibility, aka the FBI's Internal Affairs.
How long are they gonna keep questioning Rossi?
Till they get the answers they want.
All right.
We're on the record.
Agent Beatriz Carr with Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi.
How are you today, Agent Rossi?
Peachy.
My office has some additional questions regarding the assault on Elias Voit at Collymore prison.
My answer is as it has always been.
I don't know how it happened.
I played no role in it happening.
Yes.
You've been remarkably...
consistent.
Just to review, FCI Collymore is a minimum security prison.
Filled with low-level offenders.
Oh, and Elias Voit.
Yes.
And Elias Voit.
Who was attacked by two cannabis distributors who made the mistake of crossing state lines.
So, what's your question?
I just came into receipt of a conversation Mr.
Voit had before his transfer.
At the time, his lawyer was present, so the cameras were off.
But once the FBI entered his cell, privilege no longer applied.
What do you mean, once the FBI entered?
For the record, I am now playing exhibit 2233 for Agent Rossi.
The guards were rebooting the system when you entered.
The microphones turned on before the cameras, so all we have is audio.
I know you think you could Houdini out of Collymore, but gen pop is no place for a serial killer.
Dahmer.
Kibbe.
Harvey.
All of them died at the hands of other prisoners.
Because you build prison cred by spilling blood like yours.
Can you explain this?
I don't need to.
You told Voit exactly what would happen to him.
That's not suspicious at all?
No.
It's my job.
To predict antisocial behavior.
Uh-huh.
And can you provide any evidence that you weren't responsible for the attack on Voit?
I can't prove a negative.
For the sake of your career, I suggest you try.
If I wanted Elias Voit dead, he would be dead.
Oh, and he's not dead, is he?
Oh.
You're here again?
Yeah.
I can't help it.
It's so weird.
He's so...
non-psychopathic.
You know, sometimes he makes little puppy noises.
Like...
Like that.
Any update?
No.
I mean...
This is what he was like when they brought him in.
He could wake up tomorrow or never again.
His last MRI indicated traumatic brain injury to his prefrontal and occipital lobes.
But that's not the weird part.
Oh.
It never is with him, is it?
Voit has complex cerebral scarring, some of the damage goes back decades.
His brain looks more like a retired linebacker than an average 40-year-old man.
Oh, uh, be careful.
Only one of his arms is cuffed.
No, it's okay.
I-I supervised this myself.
Watch.
Just a drill, thank you.
So...
I know why I'm here.
Why are you?
Voit's attending got the final incident report from Collymore.
I asked for a copy in the case it could get Rossi out of hot water.
Man, you are in a coma, and you're still all up in Rossi's business.
I can't figure out how Voit is still alive.
There were no cameras in the laundry room.
But according to the report, he was stabbed three times, turned around, got the shank out of his attackers' hands, killed them and then collapsed.
That must have been one hell of a fight.
Yeah.
So, how did he do it?
Mother...
What...
Ooh.
I recognize that tone.
Either your husband or your kids did something to get under your skin.
In the ballpark.
Will's mom is flying in for Michael's birthday.
Last time she did that, she decided to surprise all of us when she got Michael a hamster.
Honestly, I would trade with you.
Why?
What's up?
My dad wants to meet Rebecca so he can...
and this is a direct quote... "
size her up."
Mm.
Okay.
Different generation.
Probably doesn't approve.
Yeah, but not in the way that you think.
I mean, I was married to a white guy before, which he wasn't crazy about, and now I'm getting serious with a woman.
And he's convinced that it's his parenting that's resulted in my choice of partners.
Yeah, well, we know that's not true.
Eh...
Good news on our ocean drownings.
Locals just made a positive ID on the most recent victim.
Guy's name is David Hartle.
How'd Ocean City ping him so fast?
Sheer luck.
Cold front changed the currents on the unsub.
So Hartle washed up quicker than the others.
Fingers crossed, there's a clue on him that wasn't washed away or eaten by fish.
Do we have the ME report here?
Yeah, just came in.
Oh, great.
Guy had aerosolized fentanyl in his lungs.
Not enough for an overdose.
But enough to knock him out temporarily.
And check this out.
There was brown residue found on his teeth.
The ME identified it as swimmer's calculus.
Okay, this has to do with the pH of the water, right?
Yeah.
Ocean water pH is about 8.1.
The more alkaline the water, the higher the pH, the more it stains the teeth.
The most common cause of this kind of swimmer's calculus is...
Chlorine.
Bingo.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're telling us that David Hartle drowned in a pool and not the ocean?
According to those dental records, yeah.
The ME couldn't believe it either.
Okay, so he's not stabbing his victims in the chest as a countermeasure.
Are you sure?
He needs to make sure the bodies sink.
Isn't that still a countermeasure?
Yeah.
But it's a misdirect.
He wants us to look in the ocean but he doesn't kill there.
No, of course not.
Plus the ocean's...
it's too chaotic.
I mean, it would have to be an environment that he had complete control.
One where he could extend the torture for as long as he wants.
He's drowning them in his own backyard.
I can't...
Please...
Please...
I'm so tired.
I can't...
I can't...
No.
I'm not doing that.
Ugh, Dave, come on.
Emily, no.
Why not?
What good will it do?
This is the incident report from the laundry room at Collymore.
Don't you think we should review it?
I did.
I read it.
You read it.
There's nothing in there that proves that I didn't have Voit shanked.
But the Bureau of Prisons investigative unit isn't us.
Maybe if we put our heads together we can see something they missed.
Uh...
no.
Why not?
Listen.
Ever since Voit's been in a coma, I stopped seeing him, I stopped talking to him.
I don't want to do anything that might make that happen.
Again.
Okay.
Then don't talk to him.
Talk to me.
We have worked too hard to let Voit take your job away now.
When you first looked at the report...
...what did you notice?
Bleach.
Me too.
It was found on one of the attackers.
So Voit got a shot in.
Yeah, but it didn't help.
They still overpowered him.
What was the second thing?
Cleaning supplies.
They fell off the closet onto the floor.
But some of the contents fell as far as five feet away.
Now that wouldn't happen from a simple collision with the closet.
There too much velocity involved.
Yeah, that happened because...
He was r-reaching for something in there...
...that he'd hidden.
FBOP didn't find anything.
Huh.
How deep were the shank wounds on Voit?
About one inch.
And how about his attackers?
Six inches.
That seems a little strange, doesn't it?
The investigators theorized that Voit was fighting for his life.
So he didn't just stab them, he drove the shank in as deep as he could.
And are you buying what they're selling you?
They had no other conclusions to draw.
No evidence, no proof.
Yeah, but we both know Voit.
Are you buying it?
It would only make sense if Voit had another weapon.
Ah.
Hmm.
What?
I need to get into that laundry room.
Can you make that happen?
I guess.
Why?
You just make it happen.
Here's the thing.
If these victims are drowning in a pool...
I mean, long enough for their teeth to stain brown...
it means they're treading for hours.
Yeah, so the pool has to be deep enough that they can't touch.
That means it's probably custom-built.
Seven feet all around.
He gets off on watching them get tired.
Slowly succumb, and then...
he feels this power in choosing not to save them.
Like a submersion or asphyxiation fetish.
Yeah, but with no consistent victimology.
You know, I might be wrong, but this doesn't read as sexual.
It's more like he's trying to work something out through his victims.
Well, aquaphobia is incredibly common.
Something like 46% of Americans fear deep water in pools, and 64% of them fear open water, so...
So what you're saying is something drowning-related happened to this guy and now he's revisiting it on everyone he kidnaps?
Yeah, possibly.
I mean, we've...
we've seen weirder.
Yeah.
Yo!
Yo, yo, yo!
Over here!
Ah, right on cue.
Yo!
Come!
Friendships come!
Okay, it's not demure or mindful, but, yo, this is nuts.
This is like, uh, the mammals with the teeth...
Like Chip and Dale nuts, like, "how much water does it take to make pistachios" nuts.
Penelope.
What did you find?
Firstly, possible victim Chet Williams has been reported missing.
Fan of the Delaware surf.
That's where he was last seen.
The identified victims and Chet all recently visited, according to their search history, AirBeachAndBed.com.
All of them.
What do you make of it, huh?
I don't get it.
The victims were all looking for vacation rentals?
Beach rentals, specifically.
But how would he get ahold of that information?
Does he work there?
Well, he wouldn't have to.
I mean, user information gets sold all the time to data brokers, credit card companies, marketers.
So, one of these companies could be hiding our unsub.
Then we shouldn't deliver this profile to the police.
We need to talk to whoever runs this website.
And tell them their users are targets of a serial killer?
They won't admit to anything.
They can't without risking liability.
They don't have to.
Maybe delivering the profile could be enough.
Uh-huh.
Hey, it's me.
I need your help with something.
Thank you for coming.
On behalf of the Department of Justice, we appreciate you agreeing to assist us in this matter.
We also appreciate that, as lobbyists for a rental property website, you have all signed NDAs.
Then you know that's gonna limit how much we can cooperate.
We do.
We are just hoping that you will use the sway you have with your website to help us in our investigation.
How do you know there is a killer?
I haven't seen anything about it in the papers.
Well, you wouldn't.
We don't normally share the details of an ongoing investigation with general public unless, of course, it can help with our investigation.
We are not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing.
We are just asking for your assistance.
This unknown subject is methodical, very dangerous and...
Okay.
Here we go.
Now we look for their micro-expressions.
See what these guys give away without realizing they're giving it away.
Won't this crowd have a better poker face than that?
You can't control an involuntary response from the amygdala.
No matter how good you think you are at bluffing.
Don't ask.
Now I have to.
I just said don't ask.
Okay.
If they stick to form, they'll start with a loud denial.
Most likely from a previously agreed-upon spokesperson.
Him.
Dapper white dude, front row?
Yep.
Ooh, I got him!
...victims.
Well, we are one of the most popular vacation search sites after Google.
We can't control that.
Well, we're hoping you'll give us a list of your employees and third party brokers who access your data.
Absolutely not.
We don't sell our data.
The company's very clear about that in its terms of service.
Could be a breach.
There are no breaches.
That you can admit to publicly.
But we assure you that any help you can give us will stay confidential.
We're not cooperating any further.
All right, Tara.
That's enough good cop.
Let's cut to the chase.
Your website's business model isn't based on getting people into rentals.
It's based on selling out anyone who taps that "accept cookies" button.
Someone is exploiting that to kill innocent men and women.
Front row, right side.
Who's that?
Richard Downey.
Why?
He looked down when she said "kill."
Companies pay big money for your users.
We have accepted that as a part of the digital economy.
But what we don't accept is you treating five victims as acceptable losses so you could make your quarterly earnings.
And we think that their murders are worth more than your 401K.
With all due respect, their murders are more important than your 401K.
That looks involuntary to me.
What's he hiding?
I don't know.
What I can tell you is that Downey got his MBA at Stanford after serving three tours of duty in Iraq.
Back to back?
Yes indeedy.
I still got my dog tags.
You got yours?
Yes indeedy.
Hey.
So, how is this for a birthday that ends in zero?
I mean, this is...
speechless.
Like, "take my breath away" speechless.
How did you even find this place?
I looked up "perfect sunset getaways," and this came up.
Well, it is perfect.
No.
This is perfect.
Oh, no, no.
It's not time for gifts yet.
No, it's okay.
Just open it.
Ah.
Thanks?
Turn it over.
Ta-da! "
Here's to your liver"?
Come on, I'm not that much of a lush, am I?
No...
Well, only on your birthday, when it's allowed.
I don't know.
Oh, wait!
Selfie time?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Honey, no, no, no, I look terrible.
No, no, no, you look great, plus I want to remember this.
Okay.
Come on.
Oh, wait, Dad, tuck in, get closer.
Okay, all right, where am I looking?
You're looking at the pinhole on the right.
It's the same place it always is.
All right.
Okay, smile.
Okay.
And smile.
Take lots, take a bunch.
I am, I am.
Okay, and...
All right, let me see.
I get veto power.
Okay, Mom, you look great.
Okay.
Oh, these are awesome.
These are kind of cute.
What the hell is this?
Mr.
Downey, I'm SSA Alvez with the FBI.
This is Agent Green.
We just have a few follow-up questions we wanted to ask you about the drowning case.
Am I under arrest?
No.
Then why am I here?
'Cause we already told you no.
So you guys served, so what?
We know that you're being pulled in two different directions right now.
Look, on one hand, you're an employee.
On the other, you swore an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
All we're trying to do is stop one of those enemies.
Okay?
Someone who is using your website against you.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.
Yes, you can.
We'll tell you how to open up a back door to the site.
We can do the rest.
That won't work.
IT will flag it, they'll know it's me.
And spoiler alert, my company is not a big fan of whistleblowers.
Well...
that's where I come in.
Dad, what choice do we have?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Shh, shh, shh.
No, okay?
This is not happening.
Do you understand?
It's not.
Dad, he-he...
It's not!
If we do this, we're dead.
I said get in.
I trust you.
No.
No, I'm not gonna let you do this...
Okay.
Get in.
Just get in.
Just get in.
Okay.
Okay.
Wait.
W-Wait.
What about Dad?
It's gonna be okay.
Just do it.
Uh, okay.
Okay.
WOMAN It's gonna be okay.
But Dad.
But Dad's right there.
All right.
Oh, I can't...
I can't touch the bottom.
Neither can I.
I can't touch it anywhere.
Move.
Vivian, take off your clothes, anything that's gonna weigh you down.
It's okay.
Gonna be okay.
Just trust me.
Okay.
Oh, is this what you want?
You creep!
Stop.
Stop talking.
Why?
'Cause we're gonna need our energy.
All of it.
Agent Ivan needs to get back to us, and...
Give me a minute.
You want to play a real-life game of Clue with me?
Why do I feel like you've already won?
Maybe.
I'll start.
Professor Voit in the laundry room with a...
Shank made from the wired cover of a fan.
What in the world?
A weapon that Voit made to fight off his attackers.
How'd you know?
He told me.
I got stuff, I got filtered water, got a fan.
But how did you find it?
Every washing machine has a drain pan underneath it.
Based on where the guards found Voit's body, there was only one place he could have hidden it.
So now we know how he fought them off.
But how did he know they were coming?
He was in a minimum-security prison.
Those two weren't killers.
I checked their records.
They were gonna be in there for a while.
So they were enticed?
Yeah.
Okay, but Voit wasn't in there as Voit.
He was registered under his birth name, Lee Duval.
Well, someone let the cat out of the bag.
So, besides us, who knew Voit was Voit?
You.
Freeze.
Moi?
What is this that I hear about you sitting bedside with Voit?
It's nothing.
It's something.
I mean, what, are you reading him a bedtime story?
No.
Come here.
Okay.
So, do you remember the last time we were in the field with Voit, and I had to stop him and Tyler from killing each other?
I remember you taking off your glasses.
How I knew you were serious.
Right.
So I looked in his eyes.
And I mean, I went deep in there, and I saw...
...stuff.
What?
A soul.
Oh, all right, come on.
No, I...
I know.
I know.
He-He's a psychopath.
All I can do is tell you what I saw, and I saw an ember of something.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't see anything, all right?
But I believe that you believe it.
Thank you.
Here's what I want to know.
What do you get from sitting next to him now?
I'm hoping...
I can see something salvageable in him.
You know, I never got heartburn before I met you.
Never.
It's my freakish empathy.
It's giving you the heebies.
But I can stave off the jeebies because I have done some good work on this case.
May I?
Ah.
So, that mole we got from the website?
I got the user data of our victims.
All of them.
Including the two that we couldn't ID?
Yeah, including them.
This is Mila Stevens and Joel Tanner.
They were the missing people that most closely match what little the local police could give us.
All right.
Where are they on the timeline with the other victims?
Numbers one and two.
Okay.
Where are they originally from?
Chesapeake, Virginia, both of them.
All right, first victims always tell us the most because the unsub is still learning, so what did he learn?
Based on this map?
That he should go 100 miles in a different direction to find his next victim.
All right, so maybe after Mila and Joel, he stopped making the rookie mistake of hunting in his own backyard.
If he lives in or around Chesapeake, that could be where his pool is.
Chesapeake, custom pools, seven feet.
On it.
All right, now can you do more than one search at a time?
Ooh, science says asking a dumb question makes you less cute.
Uh, yes, I can.
All right, um, look, whatever made this guy start killing in this way might have happened in Chesapeake, too.
So, let's-let's look at, um, some water-based trauma.
Drowning, treading water.
Check lifeguard incident reports in the area.
Double quest.
Here we go.
Oh.
It's like my heartburn has just magically gone away.
Yeah, I'm a healer, that's why.
You are.
You are.
Oh.
What do we do?
What do we do?
What do we do?
Just, um, try...
Just, um...
just float.
What?
Okay?
Like this.
Just...
Just float.
Just float.
Just float.
What?
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Please.
No, please, please don't do this.
No.
Pl...
Hey.
What...
No, no, no, no.
You don't have to do this.
Please.
No, please.
Please.
Oh.
No.
Mom, what do we do?
Um...
um...
What do we do?
Just, uh...
Get under it.
Come on, just get under it.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
What do we do?
You don't have to do this!
Is there anything you can grab?
Oh.
Uh...
No.
No.
The walls?
No, I tried.
There's nothing to hold on to.
I don't want to die.
Hey, look at me.
Hey.
No, I don't...
I don't want...
You're not gonna die.
You're not.
All right.
Okay?
Slow it down.
Good.
That's it.
Curtis, Kristi and Vivian Estes.
Reported missing by Curtis' mom when they didn't return home from a birthday party.
And we're sure this is our unsub?
Well, geographically, it fits.
They were taken from a beach off Chesapeake.
That's a huge escalation.
Why would he take a whole family?
We might have an answer to that.
Meet the Fowler family.
Fifteen years ago, mother, father and daughter were found drowned under their pool tarp.
The only suspect was their son Franklin.
He was ten at the time.
Wait, so you're saying he killed his own family?
Well, the cops couldn't prove it at the time, but Dad was a lifeguard and Franklin couldn't pass his swimming test.
You don't kill your whole family over a swimming test.
You do if you suffer from asthma and your dad's a drunk that makes you take it over and over and over.
Okay, so, up till now, the unsub was disciplined.
He varied his victimology.
Till he saw the Estes.
They reminded him of his own family.
We have an address?
It's an isolated property close to the county line, in Chesapeake.
All right.
Let's get ready to roll.
You too.
Come on.
Mom, I'm...
I'm getting tired.
I don't know how much longer I can...
I know.
I know.
Okay.
Let's, uh...
I'm gonna try to...
Mom...
You can't do that forever.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Nothing.
I'm okay.
Hey, just look at me.
Hang onto me.
I got you.
I got you.
Hey, hey, I found zoning permits on Franklin Fowler's property.
Last year he installed a seven-foot pool.
That's definitely our unsub.
Let's go.
Any way I could trade up to a real gun?
No.
I can't.
I can't do it anymore.
That's okay.
Just take a break.
Do you want me to...
I can go down.
I can take a turn.
No.
No.
It'll just tire us out faster.
I can almost...
If I could just hold...
hold on to something.
Hang on.
Hang on a second.
Here, try this.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh, it's working.
All right, just hang on to me.
You guys take the house.
We'll go in the back.
Dive!
Shots fired!
Franklin Fowler, drop the weapon!
Don't do it.
Shoot me, how you gonna save them?
Without this.
Or maybe...
that was the plan all along.
Good luck.
Help!
Just hang on!
My mom's been shot.
We're trying!
Right there.
Help!
Cut it!
Just cut it!
Help!
Hang on.
We're coming.
Hang on!
Move!
Go!
I got her.
You got her?
I got her.
I got you.
My mom...
I got you.
You're okay.
I can't.
Clear.
Mommy.
We got her back.
She's gonna be okay.
All right.
Coming through, please.
All right.
Hey, nice work.
Thanks, man.
You too.
Oh.
Who-Whose is that?
Not me.
Uh, it's mine.
Oh, wow.
What is it?
I got my field assignment.
- Hey.
Anchorage?
No.
Mobile, Alabama.
All right.
Huh.
That's not bad.
It's not.
I just, uh...
I guess I don't want to leave the BAU.
Aw.
Well...
It's not forever.
No.
It's just five years, right?
Mm...
Mm.
Right?
It's five years until you make the jump to supervisory special agent.
And then ten years until you can join the BAU.
Ten?
Yeah.
It's, uh, it's ten.
Sorry, champ.
Good knowing you, rookie.
Only a decade.
Ten.
Come in.
So...
...no luck on who knew Voit was in minimum security.
Let me tell you this, finding his weapon earned me some good will with OPR.
That doesn't mean you didn't do it.
You know, that agent who's been on my ass has made that same point.
Yes, it sounds like classic internal affairs strategy.
Give you just enough rope to hang yourself.
Yeah, well, I get to show up for work tomorrow, but I'm good with that.
Go
