Original subtitles

Let's go, Jimmy. I'm late already.

Okay, grandma, let's do this.

Yo, boys. Past your bedtime?

I've got places to be, Ray.

You remember what it's like being young, don't you?

You're kidding, right?

Ray don't remember what he ate for lunch.

You hear that? Regular comedians, hey, fellas?

Jimmy? Hey.

- Where you been? - With your old lady. How about you?

- Who's your friend? - What friend?

This guy pinched me a few years back.

Right.

You keeping it clean these days?

Oh, yeah. I'm a nine-to-fiver, minimum wage.

I am rehabilitated.

Yeah, but you'll step out of line again,

and when you do, your ass is mine.

Since when are you friends with cops?

What, we seemed like friends to you?

That's not what I'm saying.

The people that I work for are very hard-core, and they're all in here.

You don't trust me, Freddy?

- Hey, make up your mind. - All right, all right. Let's go.

You ever gonna get the heat fixed in this car or no?

You ever gonna stop bitching?

Why don't you come in? You know my aunt will set a place for you.

Rain check, Freddy. I'll see you later.

Helen! Do you know what time it is?

Helen?

Oh, my God.

Somebody help.

Somebody help! Somebody help!

I was teaching an in-service at the Baltimore Field Office

when this came in.

Baltimore PD's seen some grisly stuff, but never anything like this.

We've got two bodies ID'd as William and Helen DiMarco.

Retired, lived here for 37 years. No kids.

Neighbor reports a white male, 20 to 40 years old fleeing the scene.

And I quote, "Hopped up on those damn drugs."

Eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable.

So far, sounds like a standard double homicide. Why are we here?

Massive overkill.

Helen DiMarco was found here tied to the chair in front of the vanity.

No defensive wounds. Ligature marks around the wrists.

One clean laceration from ear to ear.

Looks arterial. Probably the carotid. She went quickly.

The husband William was found in the shower,

but he wasn't quite as lucky.

Ligature marks on the wrists and ankles

and one long laceration up the abdomen

through both layers of muscle.

Evisceration? That's typical of disorganized behavior.

Despite all the blood, this crime scene shows method, order, control.

I'd say it's pretty organized.

There was also evidence of torture with the husband.

Burns, contusions, lacerations. You name it, this guy tried it.

If torture is the UnSub's signature, the methodology's usually unique.

A person who burns someone doesn't normally use a knife.

So maybe we have more than one killer,

or we have one killer with more than one personality.

We also have three victims.

Blood on the vanity, wife's body was found there.

The husband was in the shower.

From the looks of the level of the ring in this tub,

whoever was in it lost their entire blood volume.

Approximately 10.6 pints.

Which means the victim was dismembered.

It looks like our guy took all the parts with him.

Hemingway wrote, "There is no hunting like the hunting of man,

"and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it

"never really care for anything else."

Possible suspect is a white male, 20 to 40 years old.

He is considered armed and very dangerous.

Okay, what do we know about the UnSub

based on the two bodies we do have?

Typically, torture falls into two categories, sadistic and functional.

Functional torture is used to extract information or to punish.

It's measured, impersonal, completely disinterested.

- Like a military tactic. - Exactly.

Then there's sadistic torture

which is used to extract some sort of emotional need.

But sadists are sexually deviant, yet there's no evidence of sexual contact.

- That we know of. - What do you mean?

Well, we don't have the third body yet.

Okay, so I've got Helen DiMarco tied to the chair.

He probably killed her first.

Prove to the others that he had no mercy.

Psychological torture before the physical pain.

Only there was no satisfaction from her death.

It was too brief. It was over too quickly.

And the husband?

With him he took his time.

There doesn't seem to be any wasted effort.

No hesitation on the UnSub's part.

I mean, Gideon, look around. What he did was a lot of work.

We're either dealing with a professional or...

A pure psychopath.

Hey, it's me. I got trouble, man. Serious trouble.

Don't tell me to relax, damn it!

I ran into a detective I know last night.

Freddy saw it. I'll meet you at 8:00.

Nothing more we can do here until the third victim turns up.

I'm guessing there's a connection to him.

He doesn't want that victim identified.

Have Garcia go through open files in Maryland.

See if any of them involve this level of torture.

Got it.

Have her check the surrounding states, as well.

If guy's a pro, why do jobs only close to home?

- How far back you want her to go? - At least 10 years.

Guy's no rookie.

Third victim was positively ID'd as a low-level Mob guy,

Frederick "Freddy" Condore.

He was the nephew of the older couple.

Body parts were found in seven different trash cans

two blocks from the crime scene.

Were they able to completely reassemble the body?

The killer didn't keep any trophies.

Is there any evidence that he got off?

No.

Garcia has a number of unsolved murders

in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland over the past 15 years.

Many of them have ties to organized crime.

All different MOs.

- What's the connection? - Torture.

Marks on the bones are consistent with the same cutting tool.

Tortured victims, most tied to organized crime,

no signs of sexual sadism.

We're looking for a hit man.

No, a hit man doesn't need to torture to get the job done.

Two things.

Baltimore just forwarded a sketch of the man running from the scene.

And you've got some agents out there

who think that you're poaching on their turf.

I'll handle it.

SSA Hotchner.

Josh Cramer. Special Agent in charge of organized Crime Baltimore.

- SSA Gideon. - Jason Gideon.

The BAU's pretty famous.

- You brought the whole team, huh? - Yeah, we were in town.

We were just going over the case. Do you want to join us?

I'd love to but I can't stay.

I just wanted to come down and say

thank you for going to Baltimore yesterday, looking into this for us,

but now that it's pretty obviously an Organized Crime case,

we're going to go ahead and take over for you.

I'm sure you guys have enough to do with your psychos.

You don't think that the guy who killed the DiMarcos is a psycho?

Well, what he is now is my problem. But again, thanks for coming out.

Anything we can do to help.

Appreciate that. We're pretty good at this.

- You got it. - All right.

- You know where we live. - Okay.

So, we're just going to drop it?

These guys don't know what they're dealing with.

Our UnSub is male, intelligent, organized, and methodical.

He has the confidence of a man who's been killing for a long time.

The only victim removed from the scene is Freddy Condore,

indicating some tie to him.

Elle, you and Reid stay on Condore's background with Garcia,

dig deep, see what turns up.

Condore worked as a supervisor at a scrap metal yard in Baltimore.

It's owned by a guy named Michael Russo,

boss of a small Mob crew.

I'm going to grab Hotch and go check him out.

Michael Russo?

Agents Hotchner and Morgan, FBI.

- What do you want? - Freddy Condore.

He didn't show up for work today. Didn't call. Nothing.

Probably because he and his aunt and uncle were murdered last night.

Really?

- Too bad. - Yeah?

I can tell you're all busted up about it.

Look, I don't speak smartass, so if you got something to say to me...

It was a professional hit.

Either you're in charge of your business or you're not.

What kind of business do you think I'm in, huh?

Look around, I'm in scrap metal.

It's all about recycling. That's where the money is, my friend.

Saving the Earth.

You've got a big problem.

You know the Mob isn't what it used to be.

Ain't easy always fighting for respect, is it?

You always gotta fight for what's yours.

One of your boys steps out of line, you hit him hard.

You make it count, right? Is that what happened to Freddy?

Look, you've got a case to make, run along, get your papers.

Come back with the bracelets. Otherwise, I got a business to run.

You're breathing on my neck.

I'm sorry. Sorry for that.

You two having fun?

Oh, yeah, sifting through the life and times of Freddy Condore

with Doctor Reid here is a party I wouldn't want to miss.

Credit card receipts show Freddy loved crab cakes, preferred lite beer

and used to spend his Thursday nights with a woman in Fells Point.

An expensive woman.

What about his associates?

- Most of them have criminal records. - That much I guessed.

But one of them is particularly interesting.

Pull up James Baker's rap sheet.

He spent time in juvenile detention for attempted murder,

was released at age 21.

And then subsequently arrested for, and this is in order,

armed robbery, petty theft, burglary, narcotics sales and rape.

But there's no other sexual assault complaints in his file.

Absolutely nothing. I told you it was interesting.

What's so interesting about that?

When it comes to psychological behavior, anything is possible.

But this criminal history just isn't probable.

I mean, as a minor, he began with attempted murder

and then devolved into pettier crimes?

It's the criminal history of a fractured schizophrenic

with multiple personality disorder.

It just does not make sense.

Unless someone made that rap sheet up.

And they weren't thinking about the behavior,

they just plugged in whatever sounded good.

Hold on. His mug shot's coming up.

I've got an address for you to hit.

Clear.

- Clear. - Copy that.

It's clear here.

Morgan, this is weird.

There's nothing here. It's like nobody lives here.

Guess he wasn't expecting company.

- Something's wrong. - Yeah, I know.

Look at this place.

It's an artificial dwelling

to match an artificial past.

Come on, Josh.

- Hotch. - Yeah?

We got a hot weapon.

Oh, no.

It's a GLOCK 19.

And this round is standard law enforcement issue.

So you're saying Baker's an undercover cop?

I'm saying I did 18 months deep cover,

and this place, it's got all the makings of a crash pad.

All right, where is he?

No. No, he is not here.

Baker's missing.

Damn it, I told him I'd pick him up at 8:00. Damn it, damn it.

Jimmy, where the hell are you? Hey, hey, come on, let's go.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

- Sorry? - I told you, this is my case.

All right. First of all, don't shout at me.

And secondly, you don't decide what cases the BAU works on.

You ran my agent's gun through IBIS.

Because I wanted to know who he worked for,

and now that I do, I'd like to talk to him.

- You don't have him? - No.

You don't know where he is?

- He's missing. - How long?

- About 12 hours. - Before or after the murders?

You think Jimmy's a suspect?

Well, there's a sketch of someone

who looks an awful lot like him leaving the scene.

That's because he was there. After.

Look, he ran into a couple of Baltimore detectives

and they made him while he was with Condore.

Now, Jimmy tried to play it off,

but he didn't think that Condore had bought it,

so he wanted to go back and talk to him.

When he saw what was left of the DiMarcos,

he called us for a pickup. We showed up, he didn't.

You think he ran?

No, Jimmy's too experienced to run without contact.

If he's not calling in,

then someone's keeping him from doing it.

- Who's Jimmy Baker's target? - Michael Russo.

We've been after the guy for three years.

- Jimmy's been under for almost two. - We talked to Russo yesterday.

He seemed genuinely surprised by the murders.

And you bought that?

Let me tell you a little something about Michael Russo.

The guy is a liar, and a good one.

If he didn't do it, he knows who did.

Oh, hell. You know what? I'm wasting my time with you.

You obviously don't get it.

Agent Cramer, we're not the enemy.

Please sit down.

We're dealing with a very dangerous killer here.

We need your help.

You know these people better than we do.

This guy?

If he is what you say he is and he has Jimmy,

did he kill him already?

We don't know.

I'll help you in any way that I can.

You help me get this man back to his family.

Who knows about me, Jimmy?

What did you tell them?

Nothing.

Nothing. I promise. Nothing.

I think you're a liar and a rat.

Oh, please.

We're going to need a bigger board.

Please tell me you brought some breakfast.

Trust me, sugar,

you are not going to want to eat when you see what's in here.

How many more are there?

Well, I've gone back 15 years, and there's over 100.

A hundred unsolved murders?

Yeah, that we know of. And then there's more coming in.

Well, the torture's consistent.

You know, we thought this guy might have been at it a while,

but this many victims, Garcia?

John Wayne Gacy killed at least 30 people.

This guy's more than tripled that.

Yeah, but this guy gets paid for it. He's a hit man.

No.

He's more than that.

Not all these victims were Mob hits.

You know, my guess is he probably started hunting

when he was really young.

Perfected his craft. Moved on to bigger prey.

Garcia, look at this.

There's no hesitation wounds on the body.

- One clean cut through flesh and bone. - Yes. Okay, so what does that tell us?

Most people wouldn't imagine

doing something like this to another human being.

But this guy, he doesn't even flinch.

He's got no conscience.

We've got ourselves a serial killer with a perfect career.

Russo has no idea what he's dealing with.

I think we can shake him. Keep looking.

- How can I help you agents? - We're worried about you.

What's causing you to lose sleep?

We hear you didn't order that hit on Freddy.

I told you I had nothing to do with that.

Why don't you take a look in that folder?

It looks like you must have a problem within your organization.

Is that right?

See, your hitter doesn't just kill for a paycheck.

He kills for pleasure.

It's what makes him good at what he does.

He's paranoid. He's a psychopath. And he's freelancing.

He's killing civilians now and he's drawing a lot of attention.

And you can't control him.

That's what he did to Freddy's uncle.

Russo, if he's not a problem for you now, he will be.

Why don't you let me worry about that?

Russo, just got a question for you.

How do you think your paranoid little killer's going to feel

about you being friendly with the FBI?

Just a thought.

Is he being serious?

Success.

Hotch and Morgan just shook Russo's confidence in his hit man.

Well, he'll want to bring him in

- and get a read on him. - Yes, ma'am.

What if by playing them against each other,

we've made Russo as paranoid as his hit man?

What would stop them from trying to kill each other?

Well, if that happens, then we'll never find Jimmy Baker alive.

We've got a surveillance team outside of Russo's office. Stay on it.

Is this going to work?

The beam is reflected from the windowpane

according to the law of optics.

Yeah, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Is it going to work?

Hey, it's me. I need to see you tonight.

I'll call you from a secure line.

Apparently.

Hey.

Listen, you brought a lot of heat taking down Freddy like that.

I'm dealing with the Feds. Listen, meet me here at the office.

They don't know nothing. I'm dealing with them.

- Stop being paranoid, Vinnie. - Bingo.

No. Vinnie.

It's pretty remarkable, really.

Nature's got her own cleanup crew. Flies, larvae, maggots, beetles.

Then there's the big guys, of course. Rats, squirrels, crows, buzzards.

I learned a long time ago never to kill anybody above 5000 feet.

It's cold up there. The evidence tends to linger.

They'll be along soon. They like the scent of blood.

Please.

Russo's got 11 associates named Vincent.

Oh, make that ten.

Vincent Cellito died last summer.

Here's something.

What can you tell me about Vincent Sartori?

I was still drinking that.

Not only is this equipment expensive, it's also extremely sensitive.

Vincent Sartori.

Currently doing six at Dannemora for racketeering.

How about this Perotta? There's not much on him.

Can you get into those records?

Despite the fact that they were probably expunged,

she can find the faintest echo of deletion,

successfully recreate the file,

thereby sending us all to prison for computer felony fraud counts.

- We can make bail. Garcia? - Already in.

Alcohol addiction at 14. Violent outbursts. Assaults.

Once threw a Molotov cocktail at someone sitting in their car.

Several notations for aggression.

He once scheduled a visit to an infirmary

to gain access to a boy who looked at him for too long.

No fear, no remorse, quick temper.

And he was smart enough to stay off the radar as an adult.

Paranoid personality. Could be our guy.

There's absolutely no information on him as an adult.

Like no driver's license, no utility bills, nothing.

- It's like he became a ghost. - Let's just hope they can catch him.

Remember, we need this man alive.

Copy that.

It's all clear.

Nothing.

Hotch?

Hotch, let me take him.

Gideon, I've got a head shot, that's it.

Don't take it. We need him alive.

You okay?

Take your tie off for once in your life, huh?

It's all right.

There's a van around the corner. Looks like blood all over it.

It's being processed right now.

Whatever they find they're going to send over to Quantico.

They got Jimmy's jacket.

Take off.

F.B.I., Behavioral Analysis Unit QUANTICO, VIRGINIA

We don't have time for this little show.

Interrogation techniques say make the guy comfortable, make him your friend,

give him a way out. That's how you get a confession.

That may work with a common criminal. It's not going to work here.

Why is that?

Because anti-social personality disorder means

never trust anyone with anything at any time.

- Then what are you supposed to do? - Make him uncomfortable.

- This was all in his van? - Yeah, the guy wasn't exactly neat.

Classic anti-social personality.

- What are these tapes? - I don't know.

Why don't you and Garcia go take a look? Let us know, all right?

Yeah, movie night. I'll make popcorn.

- Go home. - I'm fine. He's got a little slack.

Morgan says he's secure, he's secure.

- Jason. - Yeah.

Let's not give him a weapon.

He's kind of strong.

- Hey, Hotch? - Yeah?

- I'll be okay. - All right.

I'm Supervisory Special Agent Jason Gideon.

- Federal Bureau of Investigation. - You afraid of me, Jason?

You were advised of your rights?

Take these off and we'll really talk.

Were you advised of your rights?

- I know my rights. - You want to talk?

- I got nothing to hide. - Good.

- How's it going? - Don't turn your back on him, Gideon.

Hotch, you know how he is.

He's just trying to show him that he's not intimidated.

Yeah, it's not about fear, it's about being dismissive.

Perotta could assume that he's disrespecting him.

Why don't we turn these cameras off? I'll get him to tell us where Jimmy is.

- That wouldn't work. - You sure about that?

Yeah, he was probably abused by one or both of his parents.

He's learned to take the pain.

And that's why he has no compassion for anyone else's.

You've got to trust us.

- You're not organized Crime. - No.

- We're Behavioral Analysis. - What's that mean?

Well, we study how you think, why you do what you do.

- No kidding? - We have a word for you.

- You've got a word for me? - Oh, yeah, actually we have a few.

Psychopath. Paranoid personality disorder.

That's quite a mouthful, Jason.

Yes, it is.

Michael Russo set me up, didn't he?

Do you recognize this man?

Nope.

How about them? Anyone look familiar?

Wait a minute. The third guy over.

I think he does those late-night commercials for the dead worms.

You know, softies.

That's funny to you?

It's just interesting that you'd choose that expression.

You have problems performing?

Not me.

Where's he going with this? There's no evidence this guy can't perform.

I know Gideon knows that. He's just pushing his buttons.

Does murder excite you?

Is that the only thing that can give you a sexual release?

Vincent,

I believe you are an extremely impotent man.

Take these off and we'll see.

- Where's Jimmy, you son of a bitch? - Cramer!

He's a federal agent!

- I will personally execute you! - Get out of here!

Personally!

Baker is a federal agent. I knew it.

Where is he, Vincent?

Hey, Jason! Is it still called "paranoid" if I'm right?

Ten bucks says this involves naked coeds and a plumber.

- What? - Never mind.

- Okay, who is that? - I have no idea.

Put another tape in.

Oh, my God.

I'll be back.

What the hell is wrong with you?

We don't have time for this, all right?

My friend might still be alive out there somewhere.

You just told him Baker was a federal agent.

He may never tell us now.

- I told him to hang tough. - What?

Jimmy. When he called me, I told him to stick with the assignment,

that we didn't need to bring him in right away.

Hey, I had too much invested, all right? Too much time.

And I wanted Russo.

So we waited 24 hours to go in for him.

By the time we got there, that maniac...

There's a chance Agent Baker's being tortured.

And I think I know how.

After you.

Oh, my God!

Oh, please no!

Oh, God! Oh, God!

No!

- You needed me? - Yeah.

These are the faces of new victims off the videotapes we found.

Check with local, see if they have any open homicides

or missings that might correspond.

- Are those rats? - Yeah.

What are we going to do?

Well, we looked at all the stuff from the van.

And besides the videotapes, there's nothing that interesting.

I've got Garcia going over the sound on the tapes,

trying to isolate the background noise.

Maybe something there will help.

The good news is it seems like they were all filmed in the same space.

It could be some sort of home base for him.

Yeah, but where is it?

What do we know about Vincent Perotta?

He's off the grid.

Garcia can't find a registered phone,

utility bill or home address on this hump.

Come on, everybody lives somewhere.

There's got to be a paper trail.

If there is, we can't find it.

In this day and age you can't live without leaving some sort of trace.

Unless someone pays your bills for you.

What about Russo?

- Could he be taking care of him? - No. No, no, no.

Russo's not paying anybody's bills but his own.

Well, he has to have a weakness.

It's in his crime. It's in his behavior.

You know, something's just been bugging me.

Freddy. Wasn't he easy to find?

He cut up the body, he removed it from the crime scene.

But then he leaves it a couple of blocks away,

where he's got to know we're going to find it.

It's the whole reason we were able to connect Perotta to the crime.

- He made a mistake. - Yeah, he did.

- He went off script. - What does that mean?

That something knocked him off his game.

- That's right. - His behavior.

- Well, what does he do? - He tortures.

- Always? - The difference is Mrs. DiMarco.

Right.

- You want to finish this? - Yeah.

Keep working.

Hey, look who's here. My old friend. Feeling better?

Where's Jason?

You grew up in a house that looked normal and happy, didn't you, Vincent?

Did I?

But your father beat you every chance he got.

He smacked me around some. Didn't everybody's old man?

No.

Well maybe if yours had, you would have learned to fight.

There. Do you hear that?

- What is that? - I don't know.

It's like it's moving.

Getting closer.

Airplane.

Paranoid personalities develop in childhood.

You know you're saving me thousands of dollars in therapy bills?

And you learned to take the beatings, the abuse.

You learned to smile.

But in the back of your mind you probably thought, "One day...

"One day, when I'm big enough..."

So you were bullied and abused, and you became an abuser and a bully.

It's a logical progression.

- Really? - Yeah.

Your father beat your mother, too, didn't he?

My mother's got nothing to do with this.

Elle, who eats this much food in their car?

Anyone who spends hours and hours in it waiting. Hunting.

- Look. - Weird.

This is crazy. There's not one address, no paperwork, no registration.

It's all garbage.

Pizza boxes, nasty looking Chinese food,

and hamburger joints.

- Wait. Pizza. - What about it?

Who. Where do you order your pizza from?

I get my pizza from my own neighborhood.

Franetti's.

Your mother knew.

She knew that he beat you every day and she did nothing to help you.

And you still loved her.

Even though she let you get hurt, you loved her.

And I wondered why, why you didn't hate her.

Then, of course, I realized that he beat her as much as he beat you.

Don't talk about my mother.

You killed all these people.

Hundreds of them, and only one woman.

That's what made you get sloppy, isn't it?

Killing Mrs. DiMarco was hard.

That's why you did it first and you made it quick.

I thought it was to establish dominance but it wasn't.

- He was a bastard, all right? - Your father?

I call him Frank. He was a mean son of a bitch.

Is that what you want to know?

Gideon, I think we got something here.

He's got a bunch of pizza boxes from Franetti's Pizza.

It's in Glen Burnie, a suburb that backs up right to the airport.

Which makes sense

since we can hear airplanes in the background of the video.

Check property records for Frank Perotta.

- Who? - His father.

- Why? - He still lives in his father's house.

- I'll get Garcia on it. - That's why nothing is in his name.

You got that address?

- It's in Glen Burnie, like you thought. - Yes.

And it looks like Frank Perotta died

in a suspicious hunting accident with his son.

- How long ago? - Thirty years. He was 17.

And my guess is it was no accident.

Well, you said Vincent was looking for bigger prey.

- Sounds like he found it. - Garcia, you're my girl. Thank you.

Clear.

Clear.

- Kitchen clear. - Upstairs?

Clear.

We got a friendly. It's Baker.

- Get out. - Let's get an ambulance.

- Get out. Get out. - Get dispatch.

Get off. Get off. Get off.

- Jimmy. You all right, man? Is he okay? - He's going to live.

Get off!

You're going to be all right, Jimmy.

You were just responding to what you learned, Vincent.

When you grow up in an environment like that,

an extremely abusive, violent household,

it's not surprising that some people grow up to become killers.

Some people?

What's that?

You said some people grow up to become killers.

And some people grow up to catch them.

Carl Jung said, "The healthy man does not torture others.

"Generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers."
