Original subtitles

Honey? Is that you?

Yeah.

Are you coming to bed soon?

Yeah.

2 ,600 square feet, new carpet, drapes, new appliances, on an acre and a half.

Oh.

Bucket.

What? What, what?

Bucket's nice.

You know, it's too much money, isn't it?

I didn't say it was too much money.

It's too much for me, maybe, but you and I have different needs.

Homes in good school districts are pricey.

Or either maybe you like living in a dungeon.

Huh? After all, there are only so many bay windows and 200 -year -old shade

trees a person can tolerate.

Sam,

Jack can't get to you. He's locked away in a steel and concrete cell 150 feet

beneath the Macon County Federal Penitentiary. It's over.

Chloe's gonna miss Angel. So, her studio's, what, five minutes away? She's

when you need her. And you and Chloe need to be a family again, right?

Maybe that's what I'm afraid of.

It's been so long since Chloe and I have had any kind of a normal life.

Perfect seems like a lot to ask for, you know?

Samantha Waters.

Sam, I need you, John, and Grace on a plane to Chicago.

What is it?

We've got another body.

All right.

We've been monitoring this guy, waiting for a kill.

Laura was abducted from her apartment building.

Sexually assaulted.

and dumped in the woods.

Single .38 slug in the base of the skull.

Sounds a little militaristic.

No, just better prepared.

He strangled his first victim. Probably didn't plan on killing her, given that

he'd executed all the others.

You got all that just from looking at her? No, I got all that from the file

you didn't read, because she slept through the whole flight.

So what else did I sleep to?

The suspect kept his first victim only a few days.

Since then, he's been keeping them longer and longer.

They were all found the same way, all fully clothed and cleaned up.

Like they went for a walk in the woods and decided to take a nap.

When was the last attack?

Six months ago.

I'm pulling you guys off everything else. This is our priority.

How long was Laura held?

She was the longest, 18 days.

And they say men can't make a commitment.

Where's Grace?

Flight was overbooked. I thought you said you were getting us a plane.

I'm working.

Is that the boyfriend?

Chip Dowling. He ID'd the body.

Sweet car.

Six -speed twin turbocharged integrated bypass valves. Horizontally opposed.

Fully aspirated. Too much car for him. You interviewing the boyfriend or the

cop? They're one and the same, right? We are what we drive.

Want me to take you a crack of chip?

Yeah. Go easy on him.

Hasn't hit again.

Yeah.

All of them were engaged except for the first victim who he didn't mean to kill.

Maybe knew or maybe had silence there.

He's gone from rape to murder.

What about the rings?

Wouldn't he keep the rings?

I don't think that his anger is towards the women. I think it's towards the men.

You keep the ring.

I got the girl.

I want to see where she lives, Bailey.

I'll arrange for it.

You meet up with Grace.

She's in remarkably good health.

There's no dehydration, no malnutrition. She ate about an hour before she was

killed. A seafood and vegetable casserole.

Casserole. And not one of those microwave deals.

Fresh scallops, baby carrots, and a light cream base.

All the waste, though.

She barely had time to digest it.

Something must have happened.

He wasn't ready to kill her, but he had to.

Any unusual trauma?

Well, there's some tearing and tissue damage.

Got a little rough, but I've seen worse.

The kill was neat and clean.

Yeah, no thrill in the kill.

He had to clean up his mess.

It was really good.

Killing is something that he learned to live with.

Oh, I did find something else.

A small tear in the tympanic membrane and there are bone structure anomalies

the small bones of the inner ear.

Did she have a loss of hearing?

Yeah. It's hard to tell how much.

But it would have been noticeable.

What about the other victims? Did they suffer any ear damage?

Well, I don't know. I have to go back over the protocol of the MEs. He might

have missed it.

It's such a shame, huh?

Good -looking kid, had her whole life ahead of her.

Just like my mom used to say, just as easy to fall in love with the rich man

it is to fall in love with the poor one.

I downloaded Laura's medical records, and except for tubes when she was a

child, there's no record of any ear trouble.

Chip, the boyfriend didn't say anything about a hearing problem.

What about the boyfriends of the other victims? Any connection?

No, nothing.

In fact, two of them live out of state. The only thing the victim's boyfriend

seemed to have in common is that they're all relatively successful.

Not Chipper.

Chipper?

His family made their money in retailing. He's just along for the ride.

It's the poorest, isn't it?

Anyway, I can't see anybody going after his girlfriend for revenge.

Our subject is what?

Unemployed, working part -time.

With hours that let him stalk, returning again and again.

Single?

Single, white, male, 24 to 28, difficulty with relationships,

dissociated from his peers, both male and female, yadda yadda, yadda yadda,

yadda yadda.

Maybe he's an ex -con or a loser, living with his sister, an aunt, his mother,

mooching his way back and forth across the country.

And the abductions have occurred at all hours of the day and night. I mean,

that's consistent with being out of work or working odd, flexible hours.

This guy is too organized.

He would be able to fit into society. He could be self -employed, freelance. He

could be a computer tech designing software.

You know how squirrelly those computer guys can be.

Maybe he's a salesman, you know, in and out of the area. That would account for

the long gaps between abductions.

George, check the major carriers for business travelers.

Guys in and out of O 'Hare during the time of the abductions, reporting a day

two after their deaths.

But he wouldn't be successful.

Success bothers him. He is probably around success, but it's just outside

reach.

No forced entry, middle of the day.

She was grabbed in the basement.

Laundry's still in the machine.

Boyfriend spend much time here?

He told John they spent most of their time at his place.

She was three.

She had no indication that she was being stalked or that her life was in danger.

Chipper was right. This place isn't exactly what you'd call high security.

He was on her all the time about moving out.

Subject could have watched her for days, grabbed her on the way down with her

clothes. Doesn't someone have to ring the buzzer to get into this building?

Someone want to sign for this?

Buzzer's buzzer.

Hey, congratulations.

Run down this gift list to see if you can connect any of the vital registries

with the other victims.

This guy could have been a delivery man for one of the stores where the other

victims were registered.

Maybe he was left at the altar by a woman that looks like his victims.

Feels like he lost out to a better man.

The killer didn't think they were better men.

He hated these things, the cars, diamond rings, trappings of a better life.

You can have him.

I got the girl.

She wasn't hard of hearing.

Son of a bitch did that to her while she was captured.

The Forest Preserve takes up about 60 square miles.

Most of it's pretty rough terrain.

A lot of places to hide back in there.

This is all industrial.

Industrial, like commercial, pockets of low -income housing.

A lot of places around O 'Hare, too. The airport's pretty noisy.

What kind of noise level are we talking about, Rex?

Well, to do the damage I saw, you'd be looking at prolonged exposure to a noise

level above 130 decibels.

Sure, what, a rock concert, jet engines, explosions? Or short, rapid bursts,

like a jackhammer, rivet gun, repeated gunfire.

What about this area here in the east?

That's all farmland.

No, it would be urban.

And the airport would be too hard for him to control. This guy is careful.

compulsive. Control is paramount.

He wouldn't need seclusion if he could control his environment.

The ballistics match the slug from the latest victim to the others.

That's a needle in a haystack trying to find an owner.

.38's a popular weapon.

Excuse me, all the bodies were found in this area of the preserve?

Yes, ma 'am.

Good group, Lieutenant.

If you don't mind, I'm going to shave off six of your guys. I don't know the

area very well, and there's a lot of names to check off. Sure, whatever you

need, just let me know.

Thanks for your cooperation, Lieutenant.

Anything?

A couple of maybes, maybe. A couple of guys worth dragging in for questions.

Could lead to something.

I'll take all the somethings I can get.

I want to go back to where the last body was found.

How'd I know that?

What the hell's not making sense?

The attacks are too far apart.

I mean, he's getting better. He's gaining confidence.

He should see an acceleration of incidents, but his last attack was over

months ago.

Maybe they're tied to a stressor.

What's he doing between attacks?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Your salary and you give me I don't know.

Oh, you know what? That reminds me. I filled out an application for a house in

Buckhead. You're going to be getting a call, so don't tell them my salary or

they're going to charge me more for it, okay?

That's called fraud.

As opposed to theft, which is what I call what they're asking for rent.

I haven't seen that in a while.

What? You smile.

What are you talking about? I smell all the time. Not like that.

That one you meant.

It's got to be nice, you guys getting back to normal.

A house, a yard, a little gardening.

Angel's threatening to buy me a hammock.

Well, you've got to sleep somewhere after you mow the lawn.

Chloe must be excited.

He can't escape, Sam.

Maybe Lucas escaping isn't the problem.

You've got to get this guy out of your head, Sam. And how do I do that, huh,

Bailey?

How do I get a man like Jack out of my head?

A man who has spent his entire life committing unspeakable acts, all in my

all for me. No, not for you. For himself.

For his own sick, depraved needs.

And stop calling him Jack. His name is Donald Lucas.

This thing is over.

No. No, it is not over.

And whether I choose to take it on or not, the fact remains that everything

he did, he did for me.

He said that I would go to him.

He said that I would go again and again.

Because I had to know why.

This thing is over when you say it's over.

Don't ever concede that to him.

He leaves the bodies out in the open. He doesn't bury them.

Cleans them up, dresses them, and then he kills them to end their suffering.

Bang. End of nightmare.

Enough for him.

He can't end his suffering with theirs, and he knows that.

He tries to. He does for a little while, but comes back. So what does he do? He

takes another girl, and he keeps her.

Where does he keep her?

Storage locker trailer outside of town. No, he would want them close. Even if he

hated them or loved them so much that he hated them, he's responsible for them.

He's responsible for feeding them for basic personal hygiene.

He wants the body to be found.

The conditions under which they're discovered reflect on him as a

He's returning them to their families so that they can grieve.

He's thinking like a parent.

He's got a family? A family, a job, a mortgage.

Proverbial guy next door.

I don't know. I still like this guy for the jilted lover.

Look at these faces.

He wants something back that was taken from him.

Couldn't he still be married?

Yeah, but I don't think that revenge would be enough for him to put his

future at risk.

Well, he's sort of already done that.

And talk about pushing the caretaker envelope.

Laura's clothes were freshly laundered.

He washed her clothes.

May have kept her naked.

Even if he did, 18 days is a long time for her clothes to keep that fresh,

feeling. Sam, if he's refining his methods of abduction, how come we're not

seeing more attacks?

Because we don't know what the stressor is, the event in his life that is

triggering his need to act on these urges.

George, let's take a look at his schedule of attacks.

They may suggest something.

Nine victims in three years. Three attacks in 96, three in 97, three so far

year. In each case, there were two attacks, six months apart, and a third

less than a month later.

Even I can do the math on that. Three series, three attacks.

No, not if the first victim, the one he hadn't planned on killing, initiated a

series and stands alone.

I mean, we're working off a calendar. Who knows what it means to this guy?

So we're looking for a fourth series of attacks. One, two, three.

Three.

Well, one, two, three, four.

We just had a killing. The last two series had a second abduction inside of

month. We could be looking at another victim soon.

Grace, what else do we know?

Well, I went back over the protocol, and I found the same ear damage in six out

of the nine victims.

The three that didn't were held only a few days.

Victimology.

All the victims were young, attractive women in their early to mid -twenties.

clear direction in their lives, working as food servers, cashiers, all engaged

to successful men.

So he kills them so these men can't have them.

No.

He's not a killer. He is a rapist who kills. He dominates and controls what he

can't control the most, himself.

He kills them. He executes them because this cannot come home with him. He

cannot get caught.

He won't leave his family without a father.

He's angry. He is torn between duty and desire. He is stuck in an unfulfilling

life, and he is filling it with these women.

Welcome to Fat Boy. Can I take your order?

Three kids' meals, a chicken filet and a cheeseburger with mustard and olive.

I'm sorry, did you say olive?

Sir?

Okay, that's going to be $12 .17.

Pull up to the window, please.

Hi.

Hi. Honey, will you please turn it down? Turn it down! Turn it down! Turn it

down! Turn it down!

Thank you. How you been?

Same as yesterday.

Stop kicking Daddy's chair.

Stop kicking Daddy's chair. Look, here's your hamburger.

It won't be long now, huh?

The wedding, right?

Yeah, right.

Oh, your burger's on its way.

I hate this place. Why do we have to eat here? I want to go.

Because Mommy's having another baby, and she likes it here. Mommy likes it here.

Mommy wishes she liked rice cakes, but she's already as big as a house, so what

the heck. Stop kicking the chair. Here's your change.

Eat your hamburger.

It's a nice ring.

He must be pretty well off.

Honey, we didn't get our drink.

You guys taking a honeymoon?

Yeah, twice a month.

A month?

They're going to let you off work for a month.

Yeah, right. Like, I'm really going to come back and work here.

Honey, we're missing Paige's drink. Forget the drink.

But we paid for the drink. I said forget the damn drink.

You like kids?

Nothing like them.

Um, hello, welcome to Papua. May I take your order?

I'd be very happy. This is a honey.

Last one this quarter.

Uh, excuse me. One second. Be right back.

Service manager, pick up line three.

Service manager, line three.

You mind?

Trying to run a business.

Why don't you use some of that commission to take my daughter out for a

meal?

Have you eaten?

Technically, yeah.

Where were you?

Same place you left me a few hours ago.

Father, by the way, he leaves them where they can be found.

Bathed, fed, and all cleaned up.

The torturing doesn't fit with remorse.

Yeah, I mean, this ear thing is so far outside the profile, I'm beginning to

wonder if it wasn't an accident.

It's a pretty consistent accident.

No, I mean incidental, like it's part of some environment that he's created

where he can act out his fantasies, part of his arrested development, you know,

going to extremes, regaining control of his life.

Speaking of, why haven't you signed the lease yet?

I'm in Illinois. When was I going to do that?

You've heard of faxes?

Sam.

I am. I'm planning to.

Planning to what?

planning to take care of any unresolved issues that stand between me and renting

a safe, comfortable home for Chloe.

I could take that two ways.

Let's do it.

Bailey, come on.

When Jack was loose, you wanted me to confront me.

You made me crawl inside myself so that we could get to the truth. Now what? You

just want me to back off?

No. I just don't want you to go see Lucas.

Just walking the door, baby.

Mommy wants your sock.

Here, babe, I'll get it.

What's with all that packing material and cardboard in the recycling bag?

Dad bought new furniture for the baby's room.

What? Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!

Oh, hey, how's my little girl?

How you doing?

Susan, I can buy furniture for my own kids, okay?

Well, it all comes from the same place, so what difference does it make?

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Oh, so it's his dealership, right? So his deals, his cars, so it all comes

the same place?

That is not what I said.

Would you throw that in the wash? I've got to get dinner started. You want me

throw this in?

I'll throw this in.

Honey.

Honey, look at me.

I know that things didn't turn out the way that you wanted them to, but the

wasn't real.

Our family is real.

And we have so much to be thankful for.

We've got a beautiful home, three beautiful daughters, another child on

You'll always be my lead guitar.

Hey, what do you say we, uh, you know, I mean, Susan, it's been almost two

months. Brett, I don't know if it's such a good idea.

Come on.

Just not, not, you know, but maybe, maybe there's a little something we can

You mean something I can do?

Yeah.

We've got to get dinner started.

Did you check for pregnancies?

Always do with rape. Why?

Laura was a sexually active woman about to get married, but there is no evidence

that she was on any kind of birth control.

Well, maybe her boyfriend used something.

Or he got fixed.

That's easy enough to find out.

Oh, yeah.

Her estrogen and her pH levels were pretty high.

I say she was using the pill.

I have to check with her medical records, though, to confirm.

Do that. And find out about the others.

I assume they were semen? Oh, yeah.

Soon as we get a suspect, there'll be lots for us to talk about in court.

All right. Thanks, Grace.

You're welcome to stay, Dad. There's plenty.

I gotta get back.

Just wanted to make sure they set up and delivered the furniture okay.

Thanks.

Couldn't even get you... decent, right?

Leave those. I'll get them later.

What's with him lately?

It's usually like pulling teeth to get him to do the laundry.

Hey, this is good for something.

You sure can't muster up a grandson.

And then we'll talk.

Oh, yeah.

I swear I won't tell anybody.

Please.

You had some very nasty stains, Kristen.

What do you want from me?

No, Kristen, it's not what do you want.

It's may I take your order.

Come on.

Try it.

May I take your order?

May I take your order?

May I please?

I've got to go throw some downy in the wash.

Abduction is about dominance and control.

What our subject can't get at home, he creates. He produces a world in which he

is the master.

He rejects his otherwise normal life for a fantasy of seduction, power.

So where's all this caretaking coming from? Well, he knows how to caretake,

to provide, but there's no feeling behind it. I mean, what emotion he does

he expresses through rage. His victims are an instrument of that rage. It's a

way to take back something that he's lost.

We may have another one.

Fiance, I went to pick her up at work. The manager said she went on break and

never came back.

And when they get to be too much trouble, you get rid of them.

They're pregnant.

I did a pregnancy test, ma 'am. They all tested negative.

No, no, no, no, not the victims.

He is.

His wife.

That's the stressor.

Do you know what it takes to keep a human being captive?

To feed them, bathe them, change them. They can't do anything for themselves.

It's like having a baby.

It's her idea of George's paradigm.

Each series of attacks coincides with a pregnancy.

The first one when she tells him that she's pregnant, and then two more six

months later as she gets closer to her due date.

Time in between must be remorse and wind down.

So the first victim was a fourth series, a series of one, because he hadn't

planned on killing her. No, he had to.

He had just become a new father. You couldn't risk getting caught.

One, two, three, four series of attacks.

The last series coming here six months ago, and he just grabbed another one.

Which means that she is pregnant and due now.

Grace, you said that toxicology turned up birth control pills in Laura Jordan.

That's what her pH level suggested, but it turns out that she wasn't taking

birth control pills.

She used a diaphragm.

Right. He was giving them to them.

He was giving them all birth control pills because he knew he had to kill

And the caretaker in him couldn't stand to hurt an innocent child.

That's it.

That's the profile.

We're looking for a child of your family with three kids. Another one will do

any minute.

Come on. Come on.

That's my girl, baby. Come on.

That's my girl, baby. Come on. Come on, baby.

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on, baby. Push it. Push it. Come on,

baby. Come on, baby. You got it. You got it. Come on.

Push it.

It's a girl.

A beautiful baby girl.

There you go.

Good job. Good job.

It's not like you haven't done this before.

There we are.

Nice job, Susan.

Good girl.

You did great.

She's beautiful.

She's so beautiful.

I think I got a name.

While you guys have been high -speeding through hours of security tapes, I

tracked them down. Brett and Susan Moss.

Three births in four years, all delivered at St. Joseph Memorial

Smack bang in the middle of the zone.

Are they pregnant now?

Their due date was the 18th, two days ago.

That's it. That's it.

Rewind the tape.

Now switch the camera, too.

Here's Moss' DMV photo.

Wow. That is him.

Get an address. I've got it.

The baby was born about 11 .30 this morning. He called right after us. Not

the hospital.

Did he tell you where he was going?

He just said he was going to make some calls. Drive around, clear his head.

were both up all night.

Is he a musician?

You could call it that. He sure couldn't live like this if that's how he had to

make his living.

Where did he rehearse?

Wow. I guess that fills in some blanks.

Not the one I want, which is where the hell this guy is.

I noticed that 38 is missing from my office.

Where does he drive?

His car fell out front. He must have taken Mr. Bourbon. You have no idea

he went?

No.

You didn't want to do that, baby.

His LoJack signal ends here.

There it is.

Lieutenant? Yeah. I want backup.

Now.

You okay?

You alright?

I want you to stay right here. You got me?

Yeah.

I hate these guys worst of all.

Predators living in our neighborhoods.

Living right in our own backyards.

That's probably not what you want to hear right now.

Maybe I should look for a place in a bad neighborhood to save a few bucks.

Sam.

If you go to him, you're giving him what he wants.

You're giving him the power.

That's a man's argument, Bailey.

I don't need to be right. I need to understand.

There are things that I have to know.

before this can ever really be over.

Well, what do you know?

I was just thinking about you.

How have you been?

How's tricks?

I love what you've done with your hair.

Me?

I'm taking the MSTAT review over the internet.

You can't believe the nuts on that thing.

I always wanted to teach my old young minds.

Oh, don't worry. They monitor it pretty closely.

So I can only log on for 15 minutes a day. Which is fine, because it's all I

really have the patience for anymore anyway.

What do you mean?

Hmm?

Did you say something?

Don't you think you're worthy, Sam?

Funny, I don't seem to remember you having self -esteem issues before.

Has something happened?

Something recent?

Have you suffered some great loss in your life?

Well, I've had an epiphany, Sam.

Actually, I've had two. One yesterday, just after lunch, and another one first

thing this morning.

I've done some very bad things.

But I guess you knew that.

Not that I regret them. Living with regret, well, that's no way to live, as

know.

You love me because you think that I'm like you, but you're wrong.

Oh, it's Sam.

I'm not.

That thing you do, that they pay you to do, that you take money to do, well,

what you look at in your mind, I've already seen.

Where you go to in your heart, I've already been.

Nobody else can do that, Sam.

Nobody but us.

I go there because I have to. You go there... Because I have the courage to

upon my urges and you don't.

You don't?

Not yet, you don't.

I used to watch them laugh at you at Sunday school.

And that idiot McMillan would say, now don't be angry, Samantha. But you

angry, were you?

In your isolation, you felt liberated.

Just like it was yesterday, huh, Sam?

And your second epiphany?

Oh, that one had nothing to do with you.

Maybe you're right.

But there's something very important.

You're a human.
