Oh. Thank you for picking me up.

Yeah. Of course.

Oh, I don't know how long
Esther's gonna be in the shop.

The mechanic, she says they
have to get a special part

from California because, you
know, Esther runs on biodiesel,

but when that part is
inside Esther,

she's gonna run like a dream.

She might run for
another 100,000 miles.

Isn't this place great?

It is. Yeah. I've
never been here before,

but I ordered exactly
what you told me.

Yes! Usually, I'm a tea gal,

but their nitro cold
brew here is everything.

Order for Emily.

Oh. This is us. Ooh!

Uh, question.

Did you watch
the show last night?

No. I'm behind.

Spoiler alert. May I?

Go ahead.Ok. The blond one,

she died twice last week!

It was crazy with a "k"!

All right.
So there was that battle, right,

and they needed her to
have a secret identity.

Well, after that racecar thing,

and then this week,
she's back at work.

Wait. She's already
back at work?

Yes, because she has special
healing powers, remember?

She gets back to work,
and she professes

her undying love
to her boss steffi,

and I, like, screamed,

"they're gonna
do that now? Now?"

I mean, she has loved
her for years and years.

Remember that one case they had,

and they went on the
date afterwards...

Not a date.
It was a non-date date, but still...

And then Sergio,
he puked up a fur ball

on some clean laundry
because he's diabolical,

but you're here, and I'm here,

and it's a beautiful
Wednesday morning...

Penelope, that isn't
your first coffee, is it?

Well, it doesn't count
if you brew it yourself.

I'm cutting you off now.

Fair play.

Morning. Hey.

Another day, another dollar.

Yep. Good old-fashioned
government dollar.

I can tell Garcia hit up
her favorite coffee truck

on her way to work.

I had to cut her off.

Wait. Don't you have a
budget meeting this morning?

Uh, yes, I do.

Emily.

Yeah?

You buried the lede.

Flowers?

That Andrew mendoza's a keeper.

Mm-hmm.

Can't be late for that meeting.
Mm-hmm.

This fiscal year,
the bureau saw

a $46 million reduction.

The bau was first
against all other units

in direct and indirect costs
for your travel.

I think unit chief prentiss
can better speak

to their needs.

Yes, of course.

Uh, this fiscal year,
the bau's costs have increased...

Prentiss.

You have a second to go over
with requests with the director?

Absolutely. Maybe grab some lunch.

I know he's been wanting
to speak with you.

I'd love to.

I thought that went well. Yeah!

Do you think she'll get
to school on time?

It's not far, right?

No. They'll make it.

Kara's a great kid.

Her foster mom's taking
really good care of her.

She adores you.

Becoming an uncle 5 years
ago was a big surprise,

but now, man,
I can't imagine my life without her.

You're gonna be a great dad.

Thanks. Um, how long
does this usually take?

A while, so just hang in there.

Brenda, I can't thank
you enough.

It's my pleasure.

I'll be in touch.Great.

Oh. You're following me now.

It's so awkward
when this happens

because we already
said good-bye.

No. I get it.
You wanted to spend

a few extra minutes with me.

You could have just asked, Sean.

Oh. I wish I had the time,
but actually,

I'm running late for a meeting.

Maybe next time.

This is me. Oh.

Bye, Sean. Bye.

Everything is wrong!

Everything you know is wrong...

And this is proof!

Pretty gruesome stuff.

Yeah. This is the third
killing in the last two months?

Yes. The Denver
division invited us in.

They've got 3 men dead.

Each was decapitated.

Heads nowhere to be found.

The first two were killed
in public yet secluded areas,

one on a bike path,
the other at a park.

This the first time this
guy's left a message?

Yeah. Nothing like this
was found at the other crime scenes.

Yeah, and speaking
of this message,

it was filmed
on the victim's phone,

so there's no way to track it.

The unsub's not afraid
of being seen.

We should take the partial
we have of his face,

run it through vicap,
and see if it hits.

And what did he mean by
"everything you know is wrong"

and this is proof"?

Proof of what?

Power, control,
his dominance over the victims.

Well, his word choice plus that
head, it feels like a taunt

directed at he viewer,
not the victim.

If it was a taunt directed
at the general public,

he would have uploaded
it somewhere.

Then it must be law enforcement.

Either way, the distinct
lack of empathy

and remorse in his voice

plus his general demeanor

and the nature
of his crimes tells us

that he's an organized offender

with a specific psychopathology.

One that includes taking
his victim's heads.

Nothing here says he's
close to being done.

Wheels up in 10.

Denver, huh?

Yeah.

Mendoza call you directly?

Uh, no actually.
It came through official channels.

So... you and Andrew
long distance...

How's that been going?

Kyle!

You're getting closer.

"History has a way
of altering villains"

"so that we can no longer
see ourselves in them."

Adam serwer.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Ok, fam.
We got dossiers on top of dossiers.

Our first victim is
Manny Rodriguez...

Late thirties,
divorced, no kids.

He was a twice-elected
city councilperson.

Politics can be messy.
He may have ruffled some feathers.

Perhaps, but our second victim

Isaac wiley was in his late 20s.

He worked for a tech firm.

There's nothing in his file

that could be considered
controversial

or political.

Our latest victim Sean
mcafee was an architect,

early 30s, single,
never married, no kids.

So all 3 had different jobs

and lived in different
parts of town.

Garcia,
have you found any overlap socially?

Do I have to start
calling you newbie again?

Ok. So you would
have led with that.

Shut the front door.

Andrew mendoza signed
this report.

Andrew mendoza is
prentiss' boyfriend.

He's the head
of the Denver field office?

Uh, yes. He has been for the
past, uh, two months.

Um, his daughter
and ex-wife moved

to Colorado a year ago,

and he'd been waiting
for a transfer

so he could be closer to keely.

She starts high school
soon, so...

But you guys
are, um... you're good?

Yeah. Yeah. It's all good.

Anyway, we have
bigger fish to fry

than my personal life,
so when we land,

Simmons, rossi,
and I will set up

at the Denver division.

Jj, Reid, check out
the latest crime scene.

Tara and Luke,
you will go to the m.E.'S office.

So we're just not gonna talk

about that tall hunk
of water you call your bae?

No.

I have so many questions.

Like, is he left-handed?
What does he sleep in?

Is he allergic to cats?

Bye, Penelope.

Was he ever in band?

Hey. I got to go, all right?

Dave, good to see you.

Same here.

How you doing? How are you, brother?

Good to see you. You, too. You, too.

And chief prentiss.

Oh, hi. Yeah.

Andrew, uh, what
have you got for us?

Well, first off,
we got you guys set up over here,

and waiting to be
interviewed are

the friends and family
of the first two victims.

Also a woman named
Alice Clarke is coming in.

She's the last known person
to speak to Sean mcafee.

Great. We'll just need
a few minutes to set up.

All right.

Hey.

I missed you.

It's good to see you.

Uh-huh. Think we need to talk.

We will when the case is over.

All right. Thanks.

So, uh, neighbors
reported seeing

an older Ford station
wagon in the area.

Hopefully we can get plates.

Did you see the additional
home surveillance?

I did. I just watched
all the footage.

Hopefully, the extra
angles can help Garcia

with her facial
recognition search.

Sean had cameras
all over his house,

but based on the
unsub's behavior,

he had no idea
he was being filmed.

That means the unsub
probably wasn't stalking him.

This was all impulse.

He ransacked the place
after killing Sean.

In the video we saw,
he clearly wasn't looking for anything.

He just lost it.

Did you see the way
that he kept squinting

and shielding
his eyes even though

there was no light above him?

Light sensitivity.

Plus emotional outbursts.

Pretty clear he's
going through some kind

of psychotic break.

That could make him
easier to spot.

We should ask eyewitnesses
about strangers

exhibiting any innocuous,
repetitive behaviors.

There were no defensive wounds,

no signs of torture
or ligature marks,

so it's unlikely he was held.

Did you run a tox screen?

Came up clean just as in
the previous two murders.

Well, if our unsub
didn't drug Sean

and he didn't fight back,
then he must have

incapacitated him somehow.

Yeah. Perhaps with a sharp
bump to the back of the head.

Was the c.O.D. Decapitation?

I believe so.

He most likely used
some kind of a heavy blade,

a broad or a felling ax.

That was my thinking, as well,

and it was done perimortem.

Sean was alive
when this happened?

Yeah, and this killer
knew what he was doing.

A couple of clean
strikes, and... kktt...

He was finished.

That feels quick,
almost transactional.

Yeah. He didn't want to
prolong the experience.

He was focused.
He wanted to get it done with.

And check out
this latent bruising.

At first, I wasn't sure if
it happened during the attack

or when he fell,
but it appears to be some kind of marking.

The unsub must have
pressed it into his chest.

Dr. Martinez, did you find anything
similar on the other victims?

There was some latent
bruising in the same vicinity,

but I'm not sure about
symbols or markings.

Are the bodies still here?

Yes, they are.

Well, let's take a look.Ok.

Ms. Clarke,
thank you for coming in.

Have a seat.

I understand you worked
with Sean mcafee.

Yes, that's right.
We're working...

We worked on the same
project together,

this high rise going
up downtown.

And he called you
yesterday afternoon?

Yes. He was running late.

He just wanted to
let me know that I should

start the meeting by myself.

I was surprised,
but he also has a lot

of personal things
going on in his life, so...

Oh, yeah? Like what?

He has a sister that just
went to jail for 10 years...

Drugs or something.

Sean was filing for custody
of her daughter Kara.

He wanted to raise her.

That's why he was late

because he was having lunch with
his niece and the case worker.

It was their first sit-down.

Sean was gonna be a father.

We got to bring
that case worker in.

Yes, and like
our other two victims,

Sean was last seen
with or around a child.

They're fathers
or father figures.

That's why the unsub
is targeting them.

Yeah.

Watch your head!

Hey, hey. I got it.
I got it. Thank you.

Hey. Come on, bud. Let's go.

Even Lionel messi
has to practice.

Coming!

So it turns out that
there was latent bruising

on the torsos and chests
of all 3 victims.

A closer analysis
of the contusions revealed

that they're some kind
of characters.

Now taken together,
we think they may be mathematical symbols,

perhaps part
of a larger expression.

Schrodinger's equation. They form
the basis of schrodinger's equation.

Well, I've heard
of schrodinger's cat.

Both describe potential energy.

Schrodinger's equation is the
basis of quantum mechanics.

It describes
the probability that

a particle will behave
in a certain way

in a certain place
in a certain time.

The implications of this gave
rise to the many worlds theory

of the universe.

Which is that
reality as we know it

is only one of many
possible universes.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you.

I watch "doctor who."

Ok. So does our unsub think he's

in a parallel universe?

What does
killing dads have to do

with parallel universes?

I mean, maybe he's
mad at his own?

Even if he is,
why take their heads?

It doesn't line up.

You know, we said these
kills are transactional.

Maybe the heads are sacrifices
or tokens of some sort,

something the unsub needs to do

in order to pass
between realities.

I mean, it only has
to make sense to him.

Yeah. Matt's right.

Most serial killers
engage in some kind

of fantastical thinking, right...

Bundy, dahmer.

Son of Sam thought
he saw a talking dog,

but this particular
delusion that

this unsub is experiencing,

it comes from somewhere.

Not to mention, outside
of our boy genius,

most people don't know
that equation.

Yeah. We should be looking
for people with a background

in theoretical physics
and quantum mechanics.

And fast because based on
the markings on those bodies,

his equation isn't complete.

He hasn't finished
his proof yet.

Yes, honey. I got
the onion pakora

and the mango chutney, too,
extra hot.

Ok. All right.
Then she can have my butter chicken.

All right. See you soon.
Love you.

Unh!

Ha ha ha!

You have to Mark him, Kyle.

Thanks. Victim's name
was Dan Montgomery.

He was picking up food
for his wife and son.

Did he have the same kind
of latent bruising

on his chest as the others?

Yeah. The next symbols
in the equation.

Ok. Thanks.

Look. I'm not saying it
was a walk of shame or anything,

but, uh, these are
yesterday's clothes.

Oh. Sounds like
a hell of a night.

This is Kevin Patterson.

He was in the bar
next door last night.

What'd you see? I had a few drinks,

uh, met a woman.

We got to chatting.

Things were going well.

I was pretty sure she liked me.

Anyway, I stepped outside
while she was in the restroom.

Then I saw this guy
across the way.

He, uh, had something in his
hand, I think, a large stick,

but I heard him say,
"isn't this enough?

Why isn't this enough?"

Who was he talking to?

Nobody. I just figured he
was some homeless drunk,

but then he turned
to me stone-cold sober

and said, "I need to get back."

Freaked me out,
and the girl I met came out of the bar.

We left together.

Uh, I never saw
a body or anything.

I didn't think about it
again till this morning

when I saw the news.

All right. We're gonna need the
name of the woman you left with.

And, Kevin, I'd like you to work
with one of our sketch artists.

Is that all right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Of course.

Great.

Right this way.

Our unsub's psychosis
is getting worse.

He's hallucinating now.

Yeah. He's not even concerned
about a potential witness

seeing him either.

Well, what was the last
thing Kevin heard him say?

He needs to get back.

So let's put this all together.

Parallel universes,
wrong timeline,

get back as in cross over.

I think I know how
this is all connected.

We need to deliver the profile.

We're looking for a male in
his late 30s or early 40s,

who we believe is
killing in order

to cross over into
a parallel universe.

This unsub is a man
living inside a delusion,

a fractured reality that
he believes is wrong.

The idea that we're
living in the wrong timeline

is most commonly described
as the mandela effect.

The mandela effect is a
psychological phenomenon similar

to false memory syndrome.

It's so called because a
significant number of people have

a very clear memory
of Nelson Mandela

dying in prison in the 1980s

when we know that
not to be true.

He did, in fact,
survive, was released,

and made president
of South Africa

until he passed away in 2013.

Scientists and psychologists
haven't figured out

this phenomenon yet.

But a popular theory on line is

that we are currently
living in a parallel reality,

that at some point
in the recent past

our world or timeline shifted,

and the evidence
is all around us.

Things we collectively remember to
be one way are actually another.

Names of childhood books,
authors,

certain phrases, even brands.

"The berenstein bears" while others
recall "the berenstain bears."

Unh!

Unh! Unh!

Or curious George... do you
guys remember a tail or no tail?

A tail.

Got to have a tail, right?

He's a monkey.

No tail.

We don't know
what sparked our unsub's

interest in the mandela effect,

but when we find
that, we find him.

Do we have a
theory on why he's targeting

fathers or father figures?

Well, as of right now,
given the violence,

he seems driven by a hatred
perhaps towards his own father.

This man is dangerous.

He's isolated,
and he's mission-orientated.

We have to issue a warning
to the public not to confront him.

He's out there.
Let's get to work.

Thank you.

Aah!

Why won't you let me see him?

You can't see what you
refuse to look at, Kyle.

You're running out of time.

Coffee?

Yes. Thank you.

Look, guys. We are
banging our heads

against a wall here.

I mean,
Denver is littered with colleges,

and we've already worked our way

through most of the
academics and scientists.

Well, you know what?
We just need to step back

and look at things differently.

The mandela effect is a unique
psychological construct, right?

I mean, there's got to
be a good reason

why he latched onto it
in particular.

Well, creation
of dissociative realities

can often be a crutch for people
who've suffered extreme trauma.

Ok. Let's run with that.

We're looking for a loss
triggered by an event

likely caused
by the unsub himself,

and then this inability
to accept this reality

would be a defense mechanism
for a mind racked with guilt.

So unable to face reality,
our unsub has created his own.

Still doesn't explain why he's
killing father figures, though.

Unless it does.
Say his own guilt

is a major factor
in a break like this.

That would mean that
he's picking out dads

out of some kind
of self-loathing.

This isn't about his
hatred toward his own dad.

These men are surrogates
for him.

He's angry at himself.

Our unsub's the father here.

Hey.

What happened to you last night?

I thought you'd come by.

I texted you.

Um...

Oh. Here. Come with me.

Talk to me.

I don't know what to say.

Well, maybe you start
with why you canceled

your trip a couple weeks ago.

Like I said, there
was an abduction.

Emily, there's always
gonna be a case,

and you know I know, ok,

but you were supposed
to come for the weekend,

finally meet keely.

Mm-hmm.

And now you're back to
dodging my calls and texts.

Did I do something wrong?

No, and thank you
for the flowers.

Oh, you're welcome, but if
not, then what is it?

This has just been harder than
I thought it was gonna be.

You know, I never wanted moving
here to change anything between us.

What I want... Is you.

I want us,

but right now, it feels like

you're... pulling away.

Ohh.

Are we breaking up?

No. That's not what I want.

Well, then what
do you want? Tell me.

I'll do it.

We're at work.

Before you go back to D.C.,

I just want to know
where we stand, ok?

Oh, hey. I was
just looking for you.

What's up?

Penelope found something hinky

in regards to the social worker

who was helping Sean mcafee.

She's bringing the
others up to speed now.

Ok. Great.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Ok. So our initial interview
with Sean's case worker

Brenda hacker didn't
raise any red flags,

but she was the last
person to see him alive,

so I did some
additional spelunking.

And?

Welcome to the thunderdome.

I looked at Brenda's
financial records,

her phone records,
her case records.

She specializes
in a very specific clientele,

single dads who are
fighting for custody

of their child or children,

and she has an unusually
high success/placement rate.

How unusual?

Like, get yourself to Vegas,
call your bookie,

the fix is in unusual.

You think she's
greasing the wheels?

Oh, she's lubing
them up big time.

Uh, stop smiling, Luke alvez.

I can feel it.
That joke was not for you.

What I'm saying is
her testimony holds

a special kind
of weight with the judge.

She's got her finger in the
cookie jar somehow or another.

We should bring her back in.

Doesn't seem like a coincidence
that she works with fathers

and our unsub might be one.

Good work, Garcia.

Penelope.

New phone. Who dis?

Thank you.

You should worship
at my throne, Luke alvez.

Oh, but I do. I do.
You know I do.

What does that even mean?

Another time.

Come on, dad.

Mo would let me drive.

I have my learner's permit.

Yeah. Let her, dad.

Here. You can start the car,

but that's it.

Dad, that's so lame.

That's all you're
gonna get for now.

I'll take you out later when
it's just the two of us.

Unh!

Unh!

Ohh!

Dad?!

Aah! Aah!

Oh, no!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Dad! Kyle: Drive, drive!

Drive now! No, no!

Go!

Aah! Drive!

Wow. This place really
clears out at lunch.

Yeah. This granola bar
will do it for me.

Hmm. Me, too.

So you're not having
lunch with Andrew?

3 months ago,

Andrew asked me to
move to Denver with him,

but I'm happy where I am.

I'm not ready to leave the bau.

I haven't even met
his daughter yet.

Why? You've been seeing
him for over a year.

Keely was already in Colorado,

and the couple of times
she visited last year,

the timing just didn't work out.

Hey. You're putting up walls.

I know because I've
put up plenty myself.

Uprooting my whole life?

Moving halfway
across the country?

That's just not something
that I ever had in my plans,

and what if it doesn't work out?

Take it from a guy who just
married his third ex-wife

for the second time.

All of this work is worth it.

You deserve this.
Be honest with him.

Tell him how you feel.

Sorry to interrupt.
Denver pd just found

another decapitated body.

The head is missing,
and so are the man's two kids.

Jj and Reid are en route.

The fact that he left
his vehicle behind

means he has no intention
of coming back.

He's never really
hidden from us,

but this just feels
like the final straw.

He's finished
one way or another.

Based on his equation,
these are his final 3 victims.

Ok, but then why
the change in m.O.?

Why abduct two teenagers?

Probably has something to do
with the loss that he suffered.

Oh.

Look at this.

Oh, Ethan.
I've been leaving you messages.

I hope you're getting them.

I've been trying
to explain to you

that there are an infinite
number of realities,

branches, and 7 years ago,

our universe, it branched
into another one.

It... it was another timeline.

It was the wrong one
because you aren't here,

but I've figured out a way to
cross over to get back to you.

I'm coming for you.

It's all gonna be ok.

Don't be scared.

Dad is coming.

So it was his son that he lost.

He'll do anything to get back to
him, even kill,

maybe even trade one kid's life

for another.

Son's name is Ethan, right?

Ethan was the final piece
of the puzzle.

Our unsub's name is
George Kyle Peters.

He goes by Kyle. He's a former

high school physics teacher,

and his son Ethan died
when he was 7 years old

in a horrific car crash.

I'm sending you the info now.

It says here that
Kyle was driving

his 7-year-old son
home from a movie

when he struck a patch of
black ice and lost control.

Ethan was... Decapitated.

Rusty!

Two months ago was the
7-year anniversary of this death.

The anniversary was his trigger.

Kyle was in a coma for months
following the accident.

When he woke up,
his son was gone.

Well, that's a hell
of a stressor.

Kyle's mind would not
let him process this grief.

No matter what kind of
support he might have gotten,

he could not conceive of a world
that did not have his son in it,

so he created a new one,

one where Ethan was still alive.

Where's Kyle been
the last 7 years?

In and out of institutions.

He was released 4 months ago.

I did everything you asked!

I brought you
their heads as proof.

7 lives for the 7 years
that have passed.

The two teens that he kidnapped,

Emma and Colin choi, Colin's 14.

That's the same age his son
would have been if he survived.

Looks like we caught a break.

Garcia wanted us
to pull hard copies

of all of Brenda hacker's files,

the ones that hadn't
been digitized.

Turns out 12 years ago
Brenda was assigned

to help Kyle Peters get custody

of his son Ethan.

Wait a minute.
The same person was the case worker

for our third victim
Sean and our unsub?

We thinking that's
just as coincidence?

Well, actually, it might be.

Social workers here,
they're forced to see a lot of clients,

cover a lot of ground,

and we haven't seen
any connection

between her and our
other victims, so...

Hold on. It says here
Kyle was arrested

on two dui charges in college.

He sought help
for a drinking problem.

And yet Brenda still
managed to get him custody.

Like I said, call your bookies.

That would indicate a classic
narcissistic savior complex.

Brenda likes that
these men need her,

and she uses it against them.

Penelope, I need everything
you've found on her so far.

Got it. Coming, coming.

Is Brenda here?

Just arrived. Put her
in my office.

Ok. We need to check out
Kyle's home and last knowns.

Talk to his former
co-workers and neighbors.

He's taken these kids
some place,

likely somewhere personal.

I did everything you asked!

Now it's time to make the trade!

Who's he talking to?

He's crazy.
There's no one there.

We've got to get out of here.

How?

Help me with my tape.

That's not what we agreed to!

You told me that this
would be over with!

Wait a minute.
She was making money off these guys?

Yep. Extortion plain as day.

What? All these calls,
all this time together.

Maybe it didn't stop there.

Well, Brenda's smart.
She's not gonna incriminate herself.

Well, we can't give her an out.

Brenda knows our unsub and well.

Right now, she's our best
bet at finding those kids.

Brenda, when was the last
time you saw Kyle Peters?

10, 12 years ago.

But you were aware
that his son passed away?

Yeah. I heard.
I didn't know him very well.

I was just his case worker.

According to cell phone
records, you called Kyle

7 years ago.

I don't really remember.

And prior to that when you
were handling his case,

you called him
4 or 5 times a day

from your personal phone,

sometimes after hours.

That sound like work to you?

Uh, it does not.

I think you knew Kyle a lot
better than you're letting on.

Perhaps you saw
each other socially.

I'm not comfortable
with this conversation.

Brenda, these are
financial records, yours.

Uh, you'll see that there are
a large number of cash deposits

during the time period
in question,

and what's interesting
is that they match up

with these records here,
which are Kyle's bank records.

They show withdrawals
from the same time period.

I don't like
what you're implying.

Ms.
Hacker, Kyle has killed 5 people.

He's abducted two teenagers,

most likely with the
intent to kill them, too.

I don't know
anything about that.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Well, now that's not entirely
true, Brenda, is it?

You target single men,
like Sean,

fathers who are desperate to
retain custody of their children.

You get them to slip you a
little cash under the table,

and in exchange,
you doctor their files.

You can't prove that.

Not yet.

You convinced a judge that Kyle
should get custody of his son

despite his history
with alcohol abuse.

My guess is he was drunk
on the night of the accident,

and when he woke up
from his coma,

you called him,
and you helped him fix his story.

You added in that bit
about the black ice.

Now it's pretty clear that story
was to protect you, not him.

You didn't want anybody
digging into Kyle's past

and finding something that
you worked so hard to hide.

The way I see it,
that's child endangerment.

So, Brenda, do yourself a favor.

Sit back down and tell us

about your relationship
with Kyle,

and we'll take your
cooperation into consideration.

What do you want to know?

Everything that wasn't
in his case file.

Now we agreed, rusty.

It had to be.

That's what you said!

Aah!

Ugh.

Brenda told us
that Kyle and his son

loved to explore an area
around an abandoned gold mine

in the foothills.

Yeah. They went every weekend.

That makes sense.
Kyle was a scientist.

He wanted to foster a
similar love in his son.

We're sure this is where
he would take Emma and Colin?

It's ideal. The mine's secluded.

It's been vacant for decades.

We need to be careful.
We're gonna be on his turf.

This is it, Kyle.

This child for yours.

Please don't hurt me.

I just... I... I can't.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Don't you want to
see your son again?

Ohh, ohh.

Please.

This child for yours.

Please.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ethan.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ethan.

Ohh! I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry, Ethan.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

These tracks lead inside.

This has got to be it.

According to the map,
there's another entrance

at the north.

We should split up.

Lewis, alvez, Simmons,
see if there's another way in.

I'm sorry.

Kyle Peters, FBI!

Drop the ax! Put it down!

Kyle, look at me.

You don't understand!

He is on the other side,
he is trapped on the other side.

He needs me! I am his father!

I do understand.

I know what it's like to have

someone you love stuck
in another world,

wanting one thing,
having another,

but really having neither,

afraid to face the truth.

You have to face it, Kyle.

Kyle.

No. He said this the
only way to get him back.

He said a boy for a boy.

It's not.
Everything is wrong.

No.

That's what you think, right?

Err!

That these sacrifices
you've been making

will help you get your son back,

but they won't.

It's not real. Err!

Look again.

Kyle, you have to
face the truth.

Oh, no.

What is the truth?

He's gone.

Ohh!

Ethan is gone.

I just wanted to see him again.

We need medics asap.

Come on.

Oh, god. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

All this talk
of alternate realities.

Who do you think you'd
be in a parallel universe,

you know, in one
of your imagined futures?

I don't know.

Come on.

If you weren't an FBI agent,

what would you do?

You promise not to laugh?

A cowboy.

A cowboy? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I'd, um, you know,
have some horses,

a few cattle,

be surrounded by nature.

And what would you do
with cattle?

Well, you know, look
at them, pet them.

I... I hadn't really
thought about that,

but I'll... I'll figure it out.

Wow. I was... was not
expecting that.

Ahem. And, uh, you're there

with will and the boys.

You run the flower shop
on hickory street.

It's this cute, little
street in a tiny town

in the middle of nowhere,

and rossi's there.

He runs a saloon,
which he lives above,

and Garcia has a sanctuary
for wounded animals.

May I interest
anyone in a beverage?

Wow. That's timing.

So, uh, Dave, in another life,

what would you be?

Oh, that's easy. A boxer.

Hmm.

In fact, there was
a time I was having dinner

with Muhammad Ali,
and we were having a discussion

just on this subject...

Roads taken or not taken
in this life.

And what did he say?

I don't quite remember because I
was drinking for the two of us,

and it was the best
scotch I'd ever had,

and that's saying... A lot.

So to paths not taken.

To paths not taken.

Get the stove,
all right?

You know daddy likes
to burn stuff.

Hi.

I thought you left.

The team did,

but, uh, I wasn't ready to go.

In fact, I was hoping we
could have dinner tonight.

Uh, well, my daughter and
I are just about to eat.

Oh, of course. I... I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude.

Hey.

I'd love it if you'd join us.

Heh. I would love to.

Thank you.

Keely, this is Emily.

Emily, this is keely.

Hi. I have heard
so much about you.

And I've heard
so much about you.

You did not oversell it, dad.

Keely.dad.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

Uh, I would actually
really like to hear

more about that.

What exactly did
your dad not oversell?

Maybe we should compare notes.

I like her.

Maybe we shouldn't compare notes.
How about that?

No. I think that's
actually a perfect idea.

Here you go. There we are.

PRENTISS, VOICE-OVER: "We must
be willing to let go"

"of the life we've planned

so as to have the life
that is waiting for us."

Joseph Campbell.

The fact that he said
you're absolutely gorgeous.
