Uh, won't you take a seat?

I prefer to stand.

I've missed you.

You don't even know me.

Well, why don't we remedy that?

Tell me something.

Anything.

I'm not here to talk about me.

I came to ask for an interview.

An interview.

Seems a little exploitative.

Then again, I've been exploiting
others my whole life.

As a serial killer?

No, as a white man.

We're terrible.

Oh, I don't know, Ainsley.

Um, would I get the questions?

Give notes on the cut?

No.

I'd hate to disappoint you.

Then say yes.

I've never asked you
for anything else.

Okay.

You want to know the questions?

How?

How could you kill 23 people?

When did it start? And why?

That's the most important
question.

Why did you do it?

That's not
the most important one.

Deep down,

there's another question that
you desperately need answered.

And I'm wondering...

are you brave enough to ask it?

This one's a beaut, isn't she?

Let me guess.

You spent some time
in one of these as a kid.

That's what I'm trying
to figure out.

Tons of room back here.

It's, uh, perfect
for family trips

or the big kill.

Well, you know,
if you're into hunting.

That was more my dad's thing.

Not the car of your dreams?

It's not the right one.

Y-You're after one car
in particular?

That ain't gonna be easy.

I'm looking for one with
an anchor bracket in the back.

Strong enough
to chain somebody to.

Don't worry.

I'm a cop.

Kind of.

Thinking about your dad again?

You had that... faraway look.

You weren't supposed
to sleep over.

Don't do that.

You've been acting strange
since you saw him.

You nervous about the interview?

He hasn't even agreed to it yet.

Well, when he does,

your trusty cameraman
will be there

to make sure
nothing happens to you.

Either way,
you'll still look hot on camera.

-Oh, is that so?
-Mm-hmm.

Whoa.

That's some
seriously aggressive texting.

Mm-hmm.

Any chance you can save me
from my mother, too?

-No.
-No?

-But I can do this.

Mm!

Okay.

They're like...

slivers of a memory.

I-I think something bad happened
in this station wagon.

I know it's a long shot,

but if I can find this car,

maybe it will help me remember.

Malcolm,

our minds aren't some safe

waiting
for the right combination.

They're messy,

complicated.

Gabrielle,
these memories are real.

I'm sure of it.

Okay.

Let's explore the possibility
that they are real.

Good.

That's bad.

It means a part of your psyche

is built on repressed memories.

Like a castle built on sand.

Your mind is in a fragile state.

My concern is, if you break down
too many walls,

if you follow your trauma
to its source,

you could revert back
to being that...

frozen, broken child.

How would I know
it was happening?

You could start seeing things.

Well, I already check that box.

But these won't be drug-induced

or from sleep deprivation.

You won't be able to tell what's
real from what's imagined.

It'll all feel real.

I'd be psychotic.

Mm-hmm.

Lose contact with reality.

That's your concern.

You're my concern.

Be careful.

Hey, Gil, why am I here?

Stabbing in the woods

doesn't seem horrific enough
for a profiler.

Try stabbed
over a hundred times.

Just in time for Halloween.

-Victim's name is Gavin Parker.

Queens address.
A warehouse assistant manager.

His family's being notified
as we speak.

Car's just up the road.

Left the door open.

Seemed like he was in a hurry
to get out.

No sign of any passengers.

Time of death?

12 hours ago.

He died from exsanguination

from the extreme number
of stab wounds.

And I thought
I was an overachiever.

Is it me or do the wounds
look different?

Nice catch.

They are not consistent.

Some are-are deep, confident.

Others merely break the surface.

A hundred stab wounds is
a classic case of overkill.

A wounding far beyond
that required to cause death.

Suggests an overwhelming hatred.

Rage.

Looks like the broken ankle

-brought him down.
-Yeah. The killer

didn't do that.

The victim's car is
on the other side of this hill?

Yeah. It's a straight shot.

Someone was chasing him.

He exits his car,

comes over this hill,

hits that root and falls.

It's a syndesmotic break.

He would have been
in terrible pain.

This murder wasn't planned.

It was opportunistic.

The killer used
Gavin's own knife to stab him.

The angle of the wounds suggests
that the killer straddled him.

He wanted the victim to see him.

Yes. Or he needed
to see his victim's face,

their pain.

Our killer enjoyed this.

Each stab,
they gained in intensity.

Which explains
the varying depths.

God, you're great.

We're looking
for a nascent sadist.

They're only now realizing
the pleasure they feel

from inflicting pain.

Could you at least try
to sound disturbed by that?

This was their first kill.

JT and Dani,
go talk to his coworkers.

Bright and I
will visit the family,

see why he was out here
in the first place.

I have no idea

why he was out there.

Gavin didn't say.

Could you not?

I just cleaned that.

Sorry.

She doesn't seem
all that broken up

about her husband.

You were getting a divorce?

Uh, we hadn't told anyone yet.

We were separating.

Gavin wanted his own place.

I wanted...

a new life.

This is where
you've been taking classes?

Jake's. Yeah.

I'm a new trainer there, too.

And where's your son?

Isaac's out back.

Why do you ask?

It's just a question.

I just want to protect my son.

Isaac is my everything.

Hello, Isaac.

Who are your friends?

This is Edwin.

That's Jeffrey.

They like to eat cabbage.

How do they feel today?

Sad.

They... lost their dad.

You know, I lost my dad
when I was around your age.

Do you still miss him?

Sometimes.

When I was a kid,

he was the best.

He was smart and funny.

He taught me so many things.

My dad gave me
Edwin and Jeffrey.

They're both very lucky.

Were you brave
when you lost your dad?

Mom says I have to be brave.

I tried to be.

But I was sad, too.

It's okay to be sad.

Do you think
that's the way your mom feels?

I think...

she's not that sad.

She never really needed my dad.

She needs me.

That's what she says.

I'm her everything.

Who are you?

I'm Bright.

I work with the police.

We're here to make sure
you're safe.

You sound like Jake.

Jake?

Uh, from your mom's gym?

He helped her get strong.

He... sleeps here sometimes.

Mom says to keep us safe.

Did your dad know Jake?

Did they get along?

Not really.

What's gonna happen, Mr. Bright?

It's just Bright.

Everything's gonna be okay,
Isaac.

I promise.

We've missed you of late,
Ainsley.

Where have you been?

Working.
Researching a new subject.

Lot of late nights.

Oh, I hope
you're getting enough sleep.

Ah. In other words, don't
turn out like your brother.

What are you working on?

I've decided to interview Dad.

"The Surgeon 20 Years Later."

You must be joking.

-Do I look like I'm joking?
-This is a bad idea, Ains.

You're putting yourself
in his crosshairs.

Why do you both do that?

You treat me like
some delicate flower.

And based
on billing hours alone,

you guys are the basket cases.

-I'm fine.
Yes,

because you are
the only one not seeing him.

I have seen him.

I went last week.

What? Are you okay?

-I just told you, I'm fine.
-None of this is fine.

This is insane.

I forbid it.

You will not see
your father again.

A royal decree,
Mother hath spoken?

I hoped we could have
a calm conversation about this,

but obviously not.

I'll see myself out.

Ainsley, wait, we need...

Let her go.

That interview
will never happen.

I will make sure of it.

All right.

Okay.

Finally, we, uh...

We agree?

Well, I never.

Still worrying
about your sister?

Don't. I'm friends with
the chairman of her network.

It'll only take a phone call.

It's not that.

What, then?

Still lost in your past?

Those who can't remember
the past are condemned.

That's not quite
the expression, dear.

Close enough.

Does this photo
mean anything to you?

What is that hideous car?

And where are you both?

This was taken the week
before Dad was arrested.

If I recall...

...I had gone with Ainsley
to the Hamptons,

you were still in school, and...

Martin was busy at work,
so he said.

Makes sense, though.

He lovedto camp.

All the special clothes
and equipment.

Made him giddy as a schoolboy.

Let me call Adolpho
to take you home.

Come on, what's with
the long face?

Dad?

Wh-What is this?

Don't be so worried.

We're gonna have
a guy's weekend.

I got us a car.

The perfect camp.

And Mother doesn't have to know.

It'll be our little secret.

This isn't real.

Malcolm, oh, my God,

-are you all right?
-I'm good. It's, uh...

You don't have to worry.
I'm... I'm good.

I'm good.

I saw my little girl last week.

She's asked to interview me.

you know, relationship.

With her dad.

It felt wonderful.

That's excellent, Martin,

but I'd like to remind you
that today's group

is about noticing each other's
signs of aggression.

Oh, but I'm getting to that,
Stanley.

Because I find that
I'm more prone to aggression

when I'm grappling with
some kind of internal dilemma.

-Such as now.
-I see.

So on the one hand, uh,

this interview
gives me the chance

to finally spend some
quality time with my daughter...

there is a reason
why I've never discussed my...

...exploits on camera.

-And that is?
-Well, it's the same reason

Vincent van Gogh went
to his grave a pauper.

The general public...

seldom understands greatness
in its time.

Might there be another,
deeper reason

you're reluctant to do this?

The camera does add ten pounds.

You crave control, Martin.

Perhaps you're afraid

to relinquish that
to your daughter?

He should do it.

Tevin, if you want
to participate,

-you need to speak up.
-I said, he should do it.

I wish I could've told my story.

On TV.

Set the record straight.

-Why you killed your parents?
-Yeah.

They were wicked.
Deviants both.

They deserved what they got.

People need to hear that.

On TV.

-Tell the camera everything!
-Hey, take it easy.

-Easy. Let's go, Tevin.
-You have to do it!

-Tell your story!
-Come on.

-Tell your story!
-Tevin, let's go.

-Tevin, come on.
-Tell your story!

-Hey, maybe I'm wrong,

but I think that was
Tevin's sign of aggression.

Gil's on his way.

Uh, hey, I need a favor.

Can you run the license plates
in this photo?

It's a partial.

And old.

It'll take time.

Should I ask what this is about,
or is knowing worse?

The former.

No. I mean, the latter.

I always get those two mixed up.

What's the profile, Bright?

-Tell me about our sadist.
-Uh, okay.

Your garden-variety sadist takes
pleasure from inflicting pain.

On average, it takes three stabs
at a four-inch depth

to kill someone.

Where do you get a stat
like that?

Our killer accelerated
his attack

in order to deliver more strikes
before Gavin expired.

What are the chances
this was a random murder?

Unlikely. This began
as a murder of opportunity.

Gavin's wife Crystal
certainly had motive.

You know, they were
in the middle of a divorce.

Computer checks show multiple
domestic incident reports.

When unis showed up,
usually Gavin had the black eye.

-She's a hitter.
But...

she's very devoted to her son.

She called him her "everything."

That's what moms say.

It's more than that.

I think Crystal has
a Jocasta complex.

It's the maternal version
of an Oedipal complex.

Please tell me
they're not sleeping together.

Not necessarily.

A Jocasta mother emotionally
depends on their child

like an adult partner,

but they're not usually sadists.

Enter Jake,

Crystal's trainer and boyfriend.

He has a history
of prior assaults.

He even tried to kill a guy
in Bed-Stuy using Krav Maga.

Israeli martial arts
will mess you up real good.

Tell me...

how will we know
if this guy's a sadist?

I have an idea.

Welcome to the world
of Krav Maga, Mr. Bright.

How'd you hear about us?

Saw a flier.

I like your motto
"We defend to the end."

It's not a motto.

It's a philosophy for survival.

Cool.

Got it.

I've done, uh, kung fu,
jiu-jitsu.

How do the belts work
in Grav Macau?

Krav Maga...

isn't a sport.

The concept is to inflict
so much pain and damage

that your opponent
can't hurt you ever again.

Isn't that a little extreme?

Life is extreme.

Guys out there want
what you have

your money, your house.

They'll take them, unless...

-you're willing...
-To hurt them?

Let me demonstrate.

Show me some of that jiu-jitsu.

Knock me down.

See that? Got your arm
in a submission hold.

-Got it.
-See, Krav Maga...

relies on one thing

maximum aggression.

Maybe this isn't your thing,
Mr. Bright.

We do have a nice kung fu class
on Tuesdays.

Ah, that's cool.

Fine.

What else you got?

All right, then.

I'm gonna come at you this time.

What the hell?!

Sorry. I-I thought we were going
for maximum aggression.

You want to see real aggression?

-Do you submit?

Do you?!

What the hell?
You some kind of freak?

Well, Jung would have called me
a masochist.

I'm not a fan.

He would have loved you...

an old-fashioned sadist.

Who are you?

Malcolm Bright.

A profiler.

And he's a cop.

Hi, Jake.

Let's talk.

Didn't realize
I'd be running a marathon today.

We're a quarter of a mile
from the crime scene.

You'd think
she'd want to avoid it.

Instead she's running

-right into it.
-I'll follow.

I'll try to head her off.

I didn't kill Gavin.

We pulled your records.

Aggravated assault seems
to be your thing.

Those are bar fights.
Punks popping off.

I'm no killer. Or sadist.

You definitely are.

You got a massive endorphin rush
from nearly breaking my arm.

Dilated pupils.
Flushed skin tone.

For you,
hurting people feels good.

You were also sleeping
with Gavin's ex.

Do you offer that service
for all your clients?

Yeah, I didn't see it
on the flier.

This was east
of the crime scene.

I think she's looking
for something.

Could be the knife
she stabbed Gavin with.

-Maybe she ditched it
in the woods.
-Yeah.

Better get CSU back down here.

Have them expand
their search radius.

Wait. She's digging.

-Where are you?
-I'm a minute away.

Okay, don't spook her.

If she's tampering
with evidence, she might just...

Crystal and I
are a casual thing.

She got too much baggage,
anyway.

What kind of baggage?

Four months ago,

Gavin demanded full custody
of Isaac.

Drove Crystal nuts.

Every night,
she'd come in here, furious.

I taught her
how to use that anger.

What kind of thing
did you teach her?

I taught her everything.

Don't ever sneak up on a cop.

Yo! You okay?!

I'm good. I'm good.

Found the buried treasure.

One bloody sweatshirt.

Perfect for a fall night

and stabbing your husband
to death.

Hands.

Crystal Parker,
you're under arrest

-on suspicion of murder.

It doesn't make sense, Gil.

JT's checking with the lab

about the blood
we pulled off the sweatshirt.

Nice collar.

She killed him, Bright.

The profile doesn't fit.

Crystal is a Jocasta mother,
not a sadist.

Which means that she cares
about her son.

If she thought
Gavin was taking him away,

taking away her everything,

she would kill to stop him.

They found her
at the crime scene

trying to destroy evidence.

A Jocasta mother is too
emotionally consumed by her son

to stab someone over
a hundred times for pleasure.

Maybe it wasn't for pleasure.

Maybe your profile is wrong.

There is a kid involved.

Almost the age you were when...

I could see how
that could get into your head.

Don't beat yourself up.

Crystal didn't do it.

Let's find out.

That's Gavin's blood
on the sweatshirt, isn't it?

DNA doesn't lie, Crystal.

That's your sweatshirt.

You hid it up there in the woods
after it happened.

You killed Gavin, didn't you?

Yes.

I did.

Did what, exactly?

I killed Gavin.

I didn't plan to, but...

...he was taking my son.

I had to stop him.

Take her back to holding.

I'll call the D.A.
and Family Services.

Let's go.

A Jocasta mother sadist.

The profile doesn't fit.

This one does.
I'm sorry, Bright.

I screwed up.

You're a profiler,
not a psychic.

You can't always know
who the killer is.

No, not that.

He's losing both of his parents,
and I told Isaac

he was gonna be okay.

I promised him.

It's what you say to a kid.

No.

No, I lied to him.

None of this is okay.

Ah, so this is how
we're gonna spend our day off.

More work.

I guess I could take

-a little break.
-Really?

-Tiny.

Ainsley?

-Oh.
-Mom?

What? I...

I took your key.

Well, it wasn't my only one.

You must be freezing.

I...

Or maybe not.

Can I have the room, dear?

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Whitly.

Likewise.

What's the emergency?

And don't say
my interview with Dad,

because I've already contacted
the prison

and written all the questions.

It's not happening.

What?

I called an old high school
flame, Thomas James,

your boss's boss's boss,
and asked him to put the kibosh

on the interview.

You've got to be kidding me.

It's for your own good.

No. It's for yourown good.

I don't know anything about him.

Everything I know has been
colored by your resentment.

Well, that
and all the people he killed.

Well, yeah, but still.

You made him out to be
just a monster.

Tell me what he said to you.

Deep down,

there's another question

that you desperately need
answered.

And I'm wondering...

are you brave enough to ask it?

Was it real?

There's my girl.

Did you love us, or was it
just some psychopathic act?

I've thought about you

every single day
since my arrest.

I'd imagine myself there
on birthdays.

Piano recitals.

Dancing with you
at the debutante ball.

I was never a debutante.

That's a shame.

The one I dreamed of you was...

quite the party.

You demanded
the band play "Single Ladies."

Mother was mortified.

I, of course, loved it.

I need to go.

Ainsley.

That imaginary life...

...is the most real thing
I know.

The one place
I get to be a father.

God, I'm embarrassed to admit

how often I visit it.

I will never forgive myself

for not really being there.

And neither should you.

You deserved
so much better than me.

He made you love him.

What? No.

No, of course not.

I can see it in your eyes.

I know what it looks like.

I used to see it
in the mirror every morning.

You expected to find
the monster.

Hoped for it

because that'd be easier
to understand.

But instead...

you met a father who loves you.

I happen to know
that Thomas James

is on his way out.

They're restructuring.

So this interview
is going to happen

whether you like it or not.

And I know you're scared.

But you raised a strong woman.

I can do this.

Maybe you can.

Your tremor has worsened.

This case...

It's got me messed up.

Tell me about the case.

It involves a kid.

His mom...

supposedly stabbed his dad
over a hundred times.

-That's awful.

I keep looking at this kid,
wanting to help,

but everything I do
makes his life worse.

You see yourself in him.

Why do you sound so surprised?

'Cause your view on human nature

can sometimes border on bleak.

I would say bleakish.

Ah, that's what makes you
a good profiler.

You see the worst in people.

But with this boy,

you want to see the best in him.

I want to see the best in him.

That's a subconscious urge.

I suppose. It's only natural.

Yeah, sure.

But it means
I have an unconscious bias.

A blind spot.

I thought it was a good thing.

Not if your job is to see people
for who they really are,

no matter how dark it may be.

I have to go.

How do they feel today?

Sad.

They lost their dad.

This statement, once signed,

will be admissible
as evidence...

Hey!
-Hey!

Stop! Don't let her sign that.
She didn't do it.

Okay, Bright, that's enough.

I know this is hitting close
to home, but she confessed.

-We found her sweatshirt...
-It's not hers. It's Isaac's.

You're saying a 12-year-old
stabbed his father

over a hundred times?

Yes, I am. And then
he hid the bloody sweatshirt

like a bad report card.

And when he told you, you ran
right up there to find it.

You were protecting him.

You still are.

I'm not protecting anyone.

I killed Gavin.

You love your son,
but you've known

he was different
since he was, what, three?

What's in the bag, Bright?

So you do
what a good mother does.

You take care of him
by lying for him,

keeping the other kids away,
hiding these.

Tell us what's in your backyard.

Or do I have to open this?

Tell me what's in there!

Tell him, Crystal.

I can't.

-Let's look at your son's
handiwork then, shall we?
-Stop!

Is that a rabbit?

It wasn't...

It wasn't his fault.

We took him to a doctor
when he was eight.

And she said
he had conduct disorder,

that-that some kids
are just different.

Childhood onset
conduct disorder

it's an antecedent to sadism.

Crystal...

did Isaac kill his father?

Gavin came for a visitation.

He found Isaac suffocating
one of his rabbits.

He told Isaac he was taking him
to a psychiatric hospital.

Isaac knew what that meant.

So he ran.

Gavin chased him, he fell,
broke his ankle.

He knew his
dad was taking him away from me.

Isaac thought
he hadto kill him.

We have to secure Isaac.

If someone sets him off,
he'll turn violent.

The social worker took him
back home while they look for

-a foster family.
-Who's with him right now?

Are you nuts, Isaac?

You're not going
trick-or-treating.

But me and Mom always go.

Your mom's in jail.

Social worker said
pack your things.

They're coming, you're going.

Nothing I can do.

Fine.

I'll pack 'em myself.

Jake's still not picking up.

-Keep at it.

Hello?

Jake, it's Malcolm Bright
with the NYPD.

-Where's Isaac?
-He's here somewhere.

Yeah, I... I told him
to pack his things,

but he won't listen.

Kid's acting
like a real piece of work.

I need you to listen to me.

Isaac is very, very danger...

-Jake?

Jake! Are you there?!

-Jake?

Aah, you!

Hello?

Isaac, it's Bright.

What's happening?

What did you do to Jake?

-He's not so strong now.

Isaac, listen to me.

I want you to run away.

-I'm gonna kill you!
-I can't. He'll hurt me.

Go upstairs.
He can't get you there.

Do you hear me?

Isaac?

Isaac, are you there?

Arroyo to Central.

Get tactical support and a bus
to the Parker house.

Nobody goes inside
till I give the word.

Guns down until we get inside.

We have to contain this.

He's still alive.

Bright told him to go upstairs.

-I'm on it.
-No. Wait.

I can talk to Isaac.

I understand him.

Please.

Give me two minutes.

ESU is on the way.

Isaac?

Are you up here?

Can you put the knife down
for me?

No. You lied to me.

This is ESU.
A Team is in position.

We have tactical officers
ready to enter the house.

This is Lieutenant Arroyo.

That's a negative
on entry, Commander.

Have your men stand down.

I have a civilian
with the suspect upstairs.

Isaac?

You made a bad choice.

You can't hurt people like this.

But there's time for you.

You can still change.

Are you gonna put me in jail?

You need to go
to a special hospital

where they can help you.

They don't understand me.

Nobody does.

I do.

When my dad was taken from me,

I didn't talk for months.

My feelings were so big
and strong

that they shut me down.

Almost turned me off completely.

I know what it's like
to not be okay.

To feel that something inside
is broken.

Do you know that feeling?

I'll always be broken, won't I?

No.

No, that's not true.

Look at me.

I got help.

From my friends, my doctors,

a cop who's here right now.

Lieutenant Arroyo,

our spotter has eyes
on the subject.

Permission to engage target.

We're bringing him down.
He's just a kid.

Can I see my mom?

Yes.
