All language subtitles for Profiler s04e17 Mea Culpa

Let's go, let's go.

All right, all right.

Tell me, Liberace, is that the only tune
you can play?

Just deliver the poison. Take him a
break.

You'll be missed.

May I have the check?

Go to the bathroom and then we'll go.

Fratel's dead.

Shot the fireballs out and spit acid in
his face.

Dragon's next.

Don't worry. It's only virtual violence.

Kevin, go to the bathroom.

Jude!

Hope you had a pleasant dining
experience. Please come again.

It's me.

We're not going to get there until three
or four tomorrow.

No, that's the earliest.

The last thing I need is to get pulled
over by a cop.

Believe me, I'm not going to breathe
until we get across the border.

Yeah, me too.

Kevin.

Honey, you won't...

So you didn't tell anyone the tape was
here?

No, I kept it as a backup. The original
and a copy are in the office.

I'll get Marty to come over and dust the
place.

We'll keep it quiet.

Joe Marks admitted he planted a wire on
you during the Peron investigation.

Knowingly putting a fellow agent's life
in danger would cost him his career, his

pension. Marks didn't take it.

That's not what I'm getting at.

Is this a private parade or can anyone
watch it?

Bailey, having a copy of that tape was
my only leverage to keep Marx from

pressing that moral turpitude charge
against me.

A charge he knows was groundless.

Whoever stole it isn't interested in
leverage, moral turpitude, or you.

They're out to destroy Marx.

And I'll bet serious money that tape's
already on its way to the chief of the

old and nice crime division.

After 25 years in the job, I bet he's
got as many enemies inside the bureau as

he does out.

It's not the job. I'd much rather blame
his winning personality.

Malone.

How long ago?

Pack a bag, George.

North Carolina State Police have been
tracking a couple of kidnapped murders.

Possibility a third victim's been
abducted.

Twelve -year -old boy.

These mud -brown dishes my mother gave
me when I went to college.

Whoever broke in could have at least
taken those.

I'm so glad I don't have to sleep there
tonight.

There are times when work can be a
refuge.

A grown man would have definitely needed
a window to be open that wide.

You were thinking that the kid left on
his own accord?

Yeah, I was hoping.

Until I felt the blood.

Skin scraping.

That's what caused the bleeding.

He was holding on, trying to keep from
being pulled through.

Definitely not on his own accord.

I know who stole my son.

His name is William James Clavel. Your
ex -husband.

He's 38, 6 '2", light brown hair.

And why are you so sure that it was him?
Because he's crazy.

There's nothing he wouldn't do to ruin
our lives.

Where were you taking your son?

To my friends in Toronto.

Phil must have followed us, waited for
his chance to steal him the first time

was out of my sight.

Is your ex abusive?

Yes.

Emotionally.

We share custody.

I worry about Kev when he's with him.

When he comes back, he's always angry
and rude.

He's a different kid.

Do you have children?

You know, you could try to take your
husband to court, try to modify the

agreement if you could. prove the abuse.
I've tried.

He shows up presenting the image of the
perfect father.

That's all it is, an image.

The courts don't see him for who he
really is.

You know, you're intending to violate a
court order regarding custody, making

yourself a fugitive.

Excuse me, ma 'am. This is Special Agent
Malone of the Violent Crimes Task

Force. Sorry for the circumstances, ma
'am.

You never said anything about violent
crimes.

This is a custody dispute.

My husband took Kevin.

Why are you involved in this? What's
happened to my son?

There have been a series of abductions
in the area. Three that we know of to

date.

Kevin's disappearance may be related.

You're saying that Bill didn't take him?

Well, it's too soon to say.

Kevin's all I have.

He's all I have.

The bodies of both victims were

discovered within 48 hours of their
abduction.

Midnight. Kevin disappeared almost six
hours ago. We could be dealing with a

custody battle here, like the mother
said.

That kid put up a battle, that's for
sure.

He definitely didn't want to go.

Maybe he's afraid of his father. We're
only getting her version of their

relationship. Yeah, which we might want
to call into question, because according

to court records, she never petitioned
to modify the custody agreement.

She's lying.

Any idea why?

Locals are tracking down the father
until they find him. I believe we should

consider this a part of the serial.

All right.

Victim one.

Gene Bellamy, 76, from Lexington,
Kentucky, a widow, on her way to

visit her grandchildren.

Second victim, Alex Picard, 52, from
Davenport, Iowa, last been at a gas

just down the road.

Now, I've gone through employment
records, charitable and religious

affiliations. So far, no connection
between them. Except that there were

passing through.

The killer could be selecting them
because they have no ties to the area.

Might also explain the variation of
victims, targets of opportunity.

And we have to believe he's comfortable
in this geographic area, which gives him

an advantage because his victims almost
certainly aren't. Neither was torture.

There was no sexual congress, no
markings or any indication of violence.

I'm going to go back over the ME's
protocols. They're on their way over.

Sheriff Gates and the highway patrol
have set up checkpoints, but personnel

limited. And if he is familiar with the
territory, I'm sure he'll... I just

heard a call from Washington, chief of
the organized crime division.

It was delivered by unknown parties less
than an hour ago.

When he heard Marks admit to placing
your life in jeopardy, he ordered that

Marks be brought in for questioning and
that his office files be seized.

There were no office files.

They'd already been cleaned out.

Took the evidence of other indiscretions
with him. But not to his home.

It was like no one ever lived there.

The only thing left was his badge
sitting on the kitchen table.

He a candidate for suicide?

I've known him 20 years.

Suicide is not his style.

I'm sure he's in the wind.

I want you on your guard.

Bailey, I can take care of myself.

If Marks didn't break into your place,
and I don't think he did, it means

someone else has access to it. And to
you.

Someone from the criminal world makes
sense. Barone, possibly.

But the fact that he knew you had the
tape at home...

Makes me believe someone inside the VCDF
breached security.

Yeah, but if Marks is their target...
Whoever has it in for him won't stop at

hurting anyone in their way.

Or maybe Marks isn't their only target.

I'm not afraid.

I am.

I'm due on the Hill at 10 in the morning
for that appropriations hearing.

There are a lot of things going on, and
I don't like any of them.

All right, now, the most important thing
is a missing 12 -year -old boy with a

potentially decreasing window of
opportunity to find him.

The rest, it'll take care of itself.

You take care of yourself.

A little sample for testing.

At the rate I'm drinking this stuff...
Whoa, that's way too much information.

Not that it's not nice to have you back.

It's nice to be back, even if it means
having to pee in a cup.

Got something on the boy's father.

Lavelle told several people in his
office he was going away for a long

to Puerto Rico.

Was he traveling alone?

A point he went out of his way to
emphasize.

Which means he probably wasn't.

That would be my guess. And learning he
rented a car in Ohio should send up some

flags. Two weeks ago in Columbus.

Unless he's planning to drive to Puerto
Rico.

Ohio is within driving distance of North
Carolina.

She's got a call in.

We found a body.

Or what's left of one.

Is it Kevin?

Body was found in a shallow grave a
hundred yards from the others.

Is it Kevin?

No.

But it is a child.

Public structure?

Indicates a female.

Grace.

Grace, are you... I'm okay.

I'm okay. I am okay. Grace, you really
have to start taking it easy.

I am fine. I am okay.

You know what? You've got a severe case.
I've got a mild case of hypertension.

Of stubbornness.

Grace, it's okay to be afraid.

And look, I don't know Morgan.

That's right. You don't know Morgan.

Yes, but as the father of the son that
you do share, I would think that he

respect and appreciate the situation
that you're in. And want to be there for

me, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay. I'm scared.

The thought of giving birth, knowing the
risks that are involved, are scaring

the hell out of me.

But this is a decision that I have made.

Yeah, but you don't have to do this
alone.

He wasn't there for the amnio?

He wasn't there for the ultrasound?

He doesn't return my calls. I finally
had to call him and tell him we were

having a boy on his machine.

So now that there are complications, I'm
supposed to believe that he's going to

be there for me?

Judging by the fusion of the joints, I
would put her age between 13 and 14

old.

Two kids about the same age.

See, the sheriff said the drop site was
Lover's Lane about 20 years ago.

I might have some sort of emotional
connection to the killer. It might

my theory of him living in the area for
a long time, maybe all his life.

Are we any closer to the cause of death?

No, not really.

But I do have a theory.

I went back over the Emmy's protocols,
and there are traces of an ether

derivative found in the blood analysis.

So he used that to subdue them? If the
doses were large enough, he could do

than subdue them.

Freezing in here.

But our hearts are warm.

Speaking of, state troopers just found
Mr. Clavel sharing a warm king -sized

with his boss, Camilla Williamson, in a
motel just outside of Cincinnati.

So he didn't take Kevin?

No, he didn't.

He's on his way here.

How does that feel?

I'm going to restrict any statistical
responses to the last 14 months, you

think? I think you're too tense.

I just want to be prepared.

Oh, well, you feel prepared.

But if I keep acting like I'm not,
you'll keep rubbing my shoulders.

Oh.

You deserve that.

Look, I know how these things can go.

You may be in our corner, but not all
the other committee members are.

And some are decidedly not.

Two hours from now, you'll have won them
over as well as... Eating out of my

hands.

Oh, that's good.

Right there.

You have no idea the power you have over
people.

Well, you can cut me a check for my
budget now.

We can start the weekend early.

I like this town a whole lot better when
you're in it.

I got my tox screenings back. All three
victims had enough

ether to cause death.

Humane way to kill.

We also have an ID on the Jane Doe.

Crystal McSorley, 14.

A runaway from Mesa, Arizona.

Missing for eight weeks.

They were looking all over California
for her.

These were opportunistic kills.

People traveling alone, vulnerable.

But grabbing Kevin broke the pattern.

Kevin wasn't alone.

Killer all wrapped up, no other
opportunity presented itself.

Yeah, but he could have picked an easier
target.

I mean, a child traveling with his
mother, she was sure to know that Kevin

missing within minutes. Maybe Kevin
fulfills the physical type.

I get the sense of personal isolation
about the killer. Maybe he's drawn to

victims in which he senses they're
isolated.

I mean, a runaway, people traveling
alone.

Kevin was with his mother.

Yeah, but he's an only child and he was
stuck in the middle of a tug of war.

Maybe the killer overheard pieces of
their conversation.

Maybe the drop site has some
significance.

That old make -out area.

Yeah, maybe the killer visited it when
he was a kid.

Or maybe he was afraid to.

It was fairly notorious.

A lot of babies respond out there.

Well, assuming that the killer is known
as... mid to late 30s. Will you check

your records for a young man diagnosed
with mental problems, incidences of

violence, abuse of animals?

We're talking at least 20 years ago.

That I can do.

The hearings. Where's the, uh, where's
the thing?

You do know what the average American
family makes per year, don't you?

That's hardly relevant.

You want them to accept it.

The figure is represented in section
211. Moving on to the next point.

I thought she was supposed to be in our
corner.

Excuse me.

Every conviction saves a life.

The life of a future victim, often that
of a child.

What's that worth, Madam Chairperson?
What's the life of a child worth to you?

We all want to save lives, Agent Malone.

But this committee is responsible to the
American people.

We cannot fund a program just because
it's well -intentioned. The mandate of

BCTF is to respond to the aid of all
local law enforcement.

If we took into account every case in
which we affected the resulting arrest,

our cost per conviction would be down to
a buck and a half.

Excuse me. Someone might want to go
outside. There's a couple fighting out

there, and they're really going at it.

They're looking for him! They're taking
him to live up in Canada with you and

that schmuck!

Ron cares about Kevin, which is more
than I can ever say about him! Don't say

that! Let her go! Let her go!

Stay out of this!

Back off, FBI!

Why don't you use that authority to
arrest her?

She's the one in violation of our court
order. I am not.

Look, she is trying to take my son away.

She can't get her boyfriend to move down
here, so she steals my son.

Did you forget to tell him that part,
Alice?

Kevin's better off with me. It's not for
you to decide.

It's what he wants!

Look, she's been planning this for
months. She can't keep her hands off

guy, so she poisons my own son against
me. Oh, but it's okay for you to sleep

with your boss. You're the married
woman. Okay, enough. That's enough!

Look, I'm sick and tired of trying to
prove myself to every cop in every court

in Jefferson County. You know what? He's
my son!

He's my son!

And I will never give up custody ever!

Period! Yeah, well, right now...

one of you has custody of your son.

So if the two of you could stop going at
each other, maybe you could help us

find him.

You set me up in front of the entire
committee.

That wasn't a set up.

You were terrific.

Honest, forthright.

I'm trying to get you the funding you
need.

By perverting my sense of trust?

Your budget had no support until I got
involved.

At least now you have a fighting chance.

The fight was fixed, Karen.

I presented that committee with an
honest assessment of our funding needs.

You turned it into a rally against law
enforcement spending.

To both of your image.

You're right.

I look good and you get your funding. We
call that a win -win.

I call it betrayal.

So, this is about your ego. It's not
enough that you get your funding, but

got to be on your terms.

I don't have to seduce you or anyone
else.

Then why did you?

Because I wanted to.

Not just to satisfy my needs, but to get
you to start thinking about yours.

The man who sat before that committee
and fought for what he believed in came

off like a statesman.

You could make a difference in
Washington.

I'm not interested in Washington.

There's a staggering rise of violent
crimes in this country.

I'm fighting to make sure the VCTF has
every chance... What are you going to do

when the VCTF goes away?

Go back to being a field agent? An
instructor at Quantico?

Who were you fighting for then?

Don't waste your talent, Bailey.

My talent is to be a cop.

Not a political sycophant to
conventional wisdom.

So go be one.

And when you're ready to play in the big
leagues, call me.

And we'll discuss our next step.

We don't have a next step.

You don't control my fate or the fate of
the VCDF.

I have a vote in the ear of everyone
else on the committee who does.

Yes.

Put them on.

Hi, Bill.

Yeah, I was just looking over your
proposal.

I have a few...

There's something about your son that
caught his abductor's eye. Some

maybe a special interest that Kevin
openly exhibited.

I don't know what that could be. He's a
normal kid.

Sports and video games.

Did he wear a sports jacket or maybe a
cap with a team logo on it? No.

He had his pocket video game with him,
took it into the bathroom.

Takes it everywhere with him. Kid's
addicted to it. There's nothing wrong

that. You don't like that?

It's easier to stick a game in a machine
than it is to spend time with Kevin. As

opposed to planning him at your desk at
work while you and the boss work late?

Enough!

Why would somebody grab a kid because of
a video game?

Well, the doctor could have a
fascination with video games.

Or the person that your son is supposed
to represent could have a fascination.

Represent?

Well... Given the age and the gender mix
of his target, I doubt that who they

are is of any real interest to him.

It's a role that your son has been cast
to play in his ritual.

A ritual that includes killing them
humanely, which suggests to me that

victims are representatives.

People from the killer's past treated
him with compassion.

Maybe his family.

Or maybe an idealized family.

Someone that the killer wanted but never
had.

If he loved them, why is he killing
them?

Or maybe killing them isn't ultimately
the point.

A compassionate killer who doesn't know
why he's killing?

I'd like to see the budget committee
make sense of that.

We're not out of it yet.

Final decision on our...

Funding is still a few weeks away.

If the killer loved these
representatives, maybe they died in a

great suffering.

Violent death, the memory of which the
killer couldn't live with.

So he's correcting that, grabbing them
one by one, sending them off into a

peaceful surrender.

Would you put greater emphasis on the
role they play in his life?

Family, that's the most obvious.

If that's the case, he's done grandma.

Dad, sis, but no mom.

Maybe there was no mom in his family.
Maybe she died or abandoned them.

Would he kill the others if the mother
was the one who abandoned the family?

Maybe she didn't abandon all of them.
Maybe she just abandoned him.

I don't have any missing persons reports
of a woman about the age of the mother.

He might not have grabbed her yet.

I miss you too, sweetie.

Now, I want you to go to bed.

And when you wake up, I'll be there to
fix you a nice hot breakfast.

I love you.

You know, the killer may be getting
bolder, taking Kevin right from under

mother's nose.

Bolder or more desperate.

He saw the perfect kid, perfect chance
to grab him, and he dispensed with

precaution.

It's 52 hours, Bailey. We may be too
late.

How are you supposed to know what to
anticipate?

I know because we rehearsed it.

Karen did a 180 on me.

Didn't matter what package I presented
the committee the fix was in.

Meaning what?

She gets to humiliate you so she looks
good in public in exchange for which she

lobbies her buddies to push our budget
over the top?

It sounds like extortion to me.

A charge I could never prove.

Proving it's not the point.

Bailey, she could be the difference in
whether or not there even is a VCTF next

year.

You're advising a phony mea culpa.

Yeah, that's the same advice you gave to
me.

Apologize to Mark so he'll drop the
moral turpitude charge.

Which you didn't do. You wore a wire on
Mark's instead.

Look where that got you.

Yeah, but the advice is still the same.

Look, Bailey, you had feelings for her,
and she embarrassed you by turning them

against you. But the difference is, in
my case, the only job that was at stake

was mine.

Sorrow? Yeah, almost like he's punishing
himself, apologizing.

For what?

For killing his family.

See, he might be collecting family
members one by one so he can apologize

them. Because their death was at his
hands?

Yeah, and most likely by accident, given
the age he was at the time. He might

not have intended to kill them.

Okay. Accidents that involved an entire
family that resulted in death.

Where everyone died except for a male
child, 8 to 12 years old.

Get up. We have to help him.

We have to help him or I'll die.

Where are we?

It's okay.

He won't hurt you.

There's something I've wanted to say to
you for the longest time.

The latest victim is Jane Wallace,
Asheville, North Carolina.

Obviously not a carjacking or robbery.

She's 37.

The killer may have found his mother.

The vehicle was first spotted at 12 .30
this morning.

Pretty isolated stretch of road.

Probably in forks off the interstate a
good 20 miles.

What's the local at now?

Victim made a call to her house around
midnight.

Gave no indication of any trouble in an
ETA into Asheville just around 2 in the

morning. Well, he had to have seen her
once before.

I mean, long enough to identify a
surrogacy.

A chance meeting, it wouldn't have been
enough.

I'll get with George on credit card
swipes.

Have there been a lot of accidents along
this highway?

Goes up during ice storms, whiteouts,
but I wouldn't say it's particularly

treacherous. Any accidents that resulted
in the loss of an entire family?

Nothing I know of recently.

No, it would have happened years ago, 15
or more.

Not far back.

Yeah, that was a bad one, maybe 20 years
ago.

Wiped out the whole family, everyone but
the boy.

Alan Tishner.

Happened on his 10th birthday.

Balloons blocked the father's view.

Car went over the rail.

Plunged 70 feet.

Imagine how that kid must have felt.

That was the house they lived in.

Why would he still live there?

Look at the back and sides.

May I help you?

Alan Tishner.

And Reverend Tishner.

Please, I don't want to let a draft in.

My wife is down with the flu.

You know, Douglas always loved video
games. That's all he ever wanted for

Christmas.

He would have loved them.

Wouldn't you, Douglas?

My name is Kevin.

You know it wasn't right what they did
to me, Douglas.

Making me stay in the garage by myself.

All the time.

In the garage.

And the name stayed.

Like that.

You know, all I ever wanted you to do
was hug me and hold me and rock me.

That's what a mom is supposed to do.

She's supposed to hold her baby, and
she's supposed to keep him warm.

But I was always so cold, Mama.

Fishner had a rough adolescence.

Drugs, petty theft.

Caught a break when his uncle took away.

Turned his life around and joined the
seminary.

What are the odds of two families dying
in a tragic accident along the same

stretch of highway?

Might not have been a car accident.

Just an accident that took away his
entire family.

A plane crash?

Boating accident?

Maybe even a fire?

Bailey.

He might have burned his house down by
accident.

Maybe even on purpose.

Why on purpose?

Well, if he was feeling isolated from
his family, from his mother.

He would have done it to call attention
to his abandonment.

Georgia. Yeah, house fires, apartments,
trailer parks.

We still think of 15, 20 years ago?

And within 100 square miles.

He used to love it like this.

Big and bright, stupid looking.

I remember watching you leave the house,
scarf flapping in the wind, how you

wore it tight around your neck, but
every time that I would get even near

you would almost choke to death.

I just wanted you to hold me. I didn't
want you to suffer, Mom. I just, I...

I was suffering too.

Listening to you cough and struggle for
breath. Knowing that it was your own

mother that was allergic to you. Knowing
that it was you that was making your

own mother so sick that she could almost
die.

I didn't want you to die.

I just wanted you to hold me.

I think I've got another name.

In 1980, fire destroyed a house in
Uniontown, killed the entire family

for the youngest son, Walter Ekesian,
age nine.

He had a 14 -year -old sister, a 12
-year -old brother, and a grandmother

lived with him and his parents.

According to the local paper, Walter
slept in a room over the garage.

Abandoned to live alone at the age of
nine.

Fire was ruled an accident.

That fire was no accident.

Looked 20 years ago to the month.

An anniversary that must have triggered
her need to apologize.

Where's her keys in today?

Still lives in Asheville. Tax return has
him down as a short order cook.

Where?

Drinking his coffee.

I don't know how lonely I was.

Up in that garage all by myself all day
and all night.

Stay in the house.

All lit up and smoke coming from the
fireplace.

I wanted to come inside so bad.

Just put my feet up to the fire and put
my head in your lap.

You always put Douglas in his... You
always tucked him both in the bed every

night.

Don't worry, Douglas.

It won't hurt like it did the other
time.

I'm sorry about that.

No child should ever have to die that
way.

I promise you won't feel a thing.

Stay where you are.

She's still alive.

Hey, hey, come here. I got you.

It's okay. You alright?

Mom! Dad!

How long do you give this truce?

You're the parent. You tell me.

As long as they remembered it with Kevin
first.

It's the longest Miranda I ever
witnessed. He kept interrupting to

20 years of feeling guilt for a fire he
set but was never punished for.

A mother who's allergic to her
offspring.

Psychosomatic. It's the result of a
traumatizing birth. The mother was so

sedated that the fear and the urgency
during the delivery was suppressed.

Surfacing later as a violent physical
reaction to holding a son. Yes, sending

Walter into a traumatizing isolation.

20 years.

It's a long time since I'm sorry.

Some apologies take longer than others.

Are you going to go back to Washington?

Apologize to the congresswoman?

Congratulations, Agent Burke.

Mark. It must be effectively satisfying
to close the case when a kid's involved.

I know it always was for me.

I never intended for that tape to be
heard by anyone.

You made it. To level the playing field.

Ending my 25 years with OCD.

Not because of me.

Yes.

Because of you.

You could face the accusers.

Be a man.

Lessons in being a man from you.

Perron, Conway, Gotti, I gave my life to
the pursuit of those monsters.

And now, because of you, lives will be
ruined, convictions overturned.

I won't have my career wasted.

All the good I've done, called into
question by punk agents.

who don't understand the sacrifices.

I hate it, Chief Merlot.

Why are you here?

Thanks to our robust economy and
reliable insider information, the Bureau

shove my pension up their collective God
-fearing asses.

I'm reasonably young, in good health.

I lost my family to the job years ago.

That leaves me, what, maybe 25 years to
dedicate my life to making yours a

living hell.

You're crazy.

There's an element of truth in that.

If you have any doubts about my ability
to do so.

When it comes to the intricacies of
survival in our business, I've forgotten
