Well, I'm waiting on a day when the people are free to see when the

penitentiary is on fire.

There's no need to plead for your mother or your brother or the one that comes

before you.

I'm waiting on a time when the people are free to see when the

penitentiary is on fire.

There's no need to plead for your father.

Wow! Hey!

I've had it!

That's right.

Want to take a look under the hood?

Yeah.

You know your Z's. I'm impressed.

You should have your mechanic check it out anyway.

Hey. How about I leave you my number and we can set it up?

Thank you.

So it's just the... Right up here.

Oh, that was... Hello?

There was the right.

Maybe just pull over here and we can try and do a U-turn.

What are you doing?

Okay.

Stop the car now.

Pull over now.

How about

Andrew?

It's Greek for valiant. Let's call him Sergio.

Oh, please tell me you're kidding.

Butch? Uh, how about Donald?

Hans. No, wait, wait. Um, okay.

Gideon. Not a chance.

It's Hebrew.

Look what it means. It's perfect.

Gideon Hotchner. No. Yes. No. Yes.

No. Gideon.

1940s. We put bombs in train stations and movie theaters. Uh, the mad bomber

George Metesky. Nice. Winner sit, losers drink.

Hold on.

Metesky wasn't a serial killer. None of his bombs ever killed anyone.

What, you think all we do is serial killers? Trust me. We cover the whole

spectrum of psychos.

We profile the DC sniper, the Unabomber. We do terrorists, arsonists. Supervisory

agents trying to get trainees drunk.

Excuse me.

Wow.

Behavioral analysis unit. You work with Gideon?

Were you with him in Boston?

I was supposed to be.

Yeah, this is Morgan.

Anyone recognize these faces?

Victims of the footpath killer.

Well, that's what Virginia newspapers are calling him. We refer to him as the

unknown subject or unsub.

I told Virginia PD they're looking for a white male in his 20s.

Who owns an American-made truck, disrepair.

Works a menial job.

I told him when you find him, don't be surprised to hear him speak with a

severe stutter.

Not to sound skeptical, but come on, a stutter?

Where'd the murders occur?

Hiking paths.

Isolated.

If I'm a killer who has to use an immediate application of overpowering

force, even out in the middle of nowhere, I lack confidence.

I can't charm them into my car like Ted Bundy did. I can't because I am ashamed

of something.

Excuse me. They're calling him the Seattle Strangler. Four victims in four

months. He keeps them alive seven days. The handle serves as a crank.

Allowing them to control the rate of suffocation.

To prolong.

To enjoy it.

Seattle's hit a wall. Physical evidence is non-existent. There are no tangible

leads. And another girl is missing.

I'll look the case file over. I'll get some thoughts to ASAP.

You're going to be with us in Seattle, ASAP.

23-year-old Heather Woodland.

Before she left for lunch, she downloaded an email with a time delay

virus attached.

The killer's virus wiped her hard drive and left this on the screen.

For heaven's sake, catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself.

He never keeps them for more than seven days, which means we have fewer than 36

hours to find her.

They want you back in the saddle.

You ready?

Looks like medical leave's over, boss.

Are you sure they want me?

The order came from the director.

We'd better get started.

Joseph Conrad said, The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not

necessary.

Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

This girl may only have 36 hours to live.

We're not asking for a judgment of Gideon. We want an assessment.

We want to know you're there to step in if you can't perform.

You clear?

Of course.

His first victim was 26-year-old Melissa Kirsch. Stab wounds, strangulation...

Wait, wait, back up, back up.

He stabbed her and then strangled her to finish her off? Other way around.

Why do you think he started using the belt with the second murder?

Strangulation with your bare hands is not as easy as one would believe. He

tried, probably found that it took too long. So he stabbed her instead.

And realized it would be hours cleaning up the plot.

Next time my boy's got a method.

The bell.

He's learning.

Perfecting his scenario.

Becoming a better killer.

He never stands with his back to a window.

When I was between him and a doorway, he asked me to move. It's hypervigilance.

It's not uncommon in post-traumatic stress disorder.

Just how much disorder are we talking about? Morgan, it's been six months.

Everything's okay.

This is Special Agent Gideon. Special Agent Morgan, our expert on obsessional

crimes. Special Agent Reed.

Dr. Reed.

Dr. Reed, our expert on, well, everything. And after two years busting

my butt in this office, I hope you remember me.

He's willing to travel with a body. Then he drives a vehicle capable of

concealing one. One in 7.4 drivers in Seattle owns an SUV.

Explorer with tinted windows.

Explorers rate higher with women.

But how do we know it's his car?

Ted Bundy drove a VW Bug.

What about a Jeep Cherokee?

Jeeps are more masculine.

We all know how an unsub feels about asserting his masculinity.

When did the Bureau become involved in the case? After the fourth body.

He dumped that one out of state.

On purpose?

If so, knowledge of law enforcement does suggest a criminal record.

Or that he watches television.

Meh. So you want to see our suspect list?

No, we won't look at a suspect list until after we come up with a profile.

It keeps our perspective unbiased.

Why don't we sit down with your task force?

Four o'clock.

An accurate profile by four o'clock today.

That's not a problem.

Agent Gideon, where would you like to start?

At the site of the last murder.

So that's Gideon? The Gideon. The one who caught that guy Adrian Bale in

Boston.

Yep, that's him.

But catching him cost us six agents.

22-year-old Aaron Cushing was found right here.

Nails clipped just like the others.

He wants them to fight back.

But not enough to hurt him.

And he left the belt around her neck.

He's probably in his early 20s.

What's your reasoning?

Youthful arrogance.

He clothed the body before dumping it.

That's a sign of remorse.

It's not consistent.

Look where we are.

His opinion of women is pretty clear, don't you think? They're disposable.

Why show remorse by taking the time to dress her, but then dump her here?

Sandy, no, no, no, no, no. I'm so sorry you hurt her. Oh, no, it's okay. It's

what we call the Reed effect.

Happens with children, too.

I'm Agent Hotchner. This is Special Agent Dr. Reed. Oh, you look too young

to have gone to medical school.

There are PhDs, three of them.

Are you a genius or something?

I don't believe that intelligence can be accurately quantified, but I do have an

IQ of 187 and an eidetic memory and can read 20,000 words per minute.

Yes, I'm a genius.

Xander, you get a lot of attention, don't you?

Yeah, Heather loves this dog.

I feed her when Heather's away, and usually she's fine, but lately she won't

eat. It's almost like she can sense something's wrong.

Not sense, smell. Our apocrine sweat gland releases secretions in response to

emotional stress.

Sandy's worried because she knows you are.

David, does your sister drive a Datsun Z?

No, but she's in the market for one. How'd you know?

Come on, Sandy.

If there's an immediate relationship established between a buyer and seller,

a level of trust, if I want to coax a young woman into my car... Offer her a

test drive.

Okay, then how about the fact that on one hand we have paranoid psychosis, but

the autopsy protocol says what?

Adhesive residue shows you put layer after layer of duct tape over his

victim's eyes.

He knows he wants to kill him, but he still covers their eyes. He doesn't want

them looking at him.

Okay, but then he takes the body and dumps it right out in the open.

Murder weapon nearby.

Get the MO of a paranoid convinced he's being watched or surveyed.

Paranoid psychosis, but behavior that's not paranoid.

Right enough.

Hodge, tell him we're ready.

We're ready?

Reid, you good with this?

We got a woman who's only got a few hours left to live, an incomplete

profile, and a unit chief on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

They don't call them nervous breakdowns anymore.

It's called a major depressive episode. I know.

Read.

The unidentified subject is White in his late 20s. He's someone you wouldn't

notice at first.

He's someone who'd blend into any crowd.

Violent nature of the crime suggests a previous criminal record.

Any crimes may be auto theft.

We've classified him as an organized killer, careful, psychopathic as opposed

to psychotic.

He follows the news, has good hygiene, he's smart.

Because he's smart, the only physical evidence you'll find is what he wants

you to find.

He's mobile, car in good condition. Our guests, Jeep Cherokee, tinted windows.

Murders of all involve rapes.

But rape without penetration is a form of picarism and that tells us he is

sexually inadequate Psychiatric evaluations will show a history of

paranoia stemming from a childhood trauma death of a parent or family

member And now he feels persecuted and watched

Murder gives him a sense of power organized

killers have a fascination with law enforcement.

They will inject themselves into the investigation.

They will even come forward as witnesses to see just how much the police really

know.

That makes them feel powerful and in control.

Which is why I also think, in fact I know, you have

already interviewed him.

Hi.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I'm house-sitting down the street, and when I got back, the door was wide open,

and the lights weren't working.

I feel stupid asking this, but is there someone who might be able to take a look

inside with me?

Richard!

Richard, get down here!

Are you sure you locked it?

Yeah.

Hello?

Hello?

FBI! Please, no!

No, no!

Richard Schlesman, FBI.

You are under arrest for murder...

Emerson said, all is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.

I'm going up.

There's no sign of the girl here. We can arrest him with probable cause, but we

won't be able to hold him.

Schlessman has been at the top of the suspect list.

Is that the mother?

Grandmother. The mother died in a fire when he was 13.

Probably not the only fire in his childhood.

Before his son of Sam murders, David Berkowitz set a multitude of fires.

Exactly how much is a multitude?

According to his diary, 1,488.

Blurring them out was your idea, right?

Greenaway? L.

I don't send a SWAT team into a house with children.

Pat says your background is in sex offender cases.

What can you tell us? The last four murders show he's an anger excitation

rapist. He'll keep a victim for a couple of days. He probably records or

videotapes them so that he can keep reliving the fantasy.

You okay with Hotch being in on the interview?

I'd like him to lead, actually.

Fine. Can I hold off?

Celestman's done time, and he knows the process.

I know all you will get now is a demand for a lawyer.

Hotch, let's check the garage and show me what you got. Next time, show her the

leg.

Morgan.

The only time you're going to see a little light from me is when I'm about

to kick your ass.

I still teach hand-to-hand over at Quantico if you need a little brush-up

training.

Seriously. I want that opening at BAU.

Got any advice?

Just trust your instincts.

Well, we got the Jeep right.

Not everything else wrong.

Body's had defensive wounds. Richard doesn't have a mark on him.

We're missing something.

Something's not right about this.

This is a boy's room.

Not a man's.

Login password.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait.

It's not turning back on. Yeah, and it won't.

It was a false password.

What kind of game is that? In China, it's called Wei-Chi.

Here, we call it Go. It's considered to be the most difficult board game ever

conceived. Chairman Mao required his generals to learn it. It also looks like

he's playing himself.

How can you tell?

This might provide an advantage, actually.

Go is considered to be a particularly psychologically revealing game. There

are profiles for every player. The conservative point counter, the

aggressor, the finesser. What kind of player is Lisbon?

Extreme aggressor.

Okay, here we go.

What's the number six at the bottom of the screen?

Number of password attempts before the program wipes the hard drive.

There could be an email or a journal in the computer, something that tells us

where Heather is.

Do you think you can break in?

In six tries?

Try again.

Fail again.

Fail better.

Samuel Beckett.

Try not.

Do or do not.

Yoda.

I want to talk to him.

You read my paper.

Learn anything?

Hirons said a man living inside of his head was the one who committed the

murders.

You said he was lying.

That there'd never been an actual case of multiple personalities.

You have an academic?

Interest in dissociative identity disorder.

You're just planning your defense You

fan of

Adrian Bale's work No, I'm a

fan of yours, you know

They never gave you the real facts about CPR.

That outside of a hospital, it's only effective 7% of the time.

Your friend had a 93% certainty of dying.

But you kept trying.

Even after you had broken his ribs.

Even after his blood was all over your hands.

Why don't you tell us where Heather Woodland is?

Woodland Isn't she the girl that went missing a couple of days ago?

He said, isn't she the girl?

If he'd already killed her, he would have said... Wasn't she the girl?

She's alive.

We don't know for how long.

Is it true what he said about CPR?

I mean, I didn't know. Want statistics on CPR?

Ask Reed. I want to know if you're okay.

I'm fine.

Are you?

Think I can't do the job?

I think you can't be two different people at once.

What is it?

Conflicts in the profile.

Two different behaviors.

Two different people.

There's a second killer.

A second unsub. It's not unusual.

Remember Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris?

1979, they outfitted a van to rape and murder girls in California.

Are we looking for someone who fits a similar relationship?

They're not equal.

Slessman's smart, but he is a submissive personality.

So number two is the dominant.

Authoritative arrogant. Probably not as smart as Slessman. He's like the

schoolyard bully recruiting a good underling. He'll be protective of

Richard. He'll make him feel like he owes him. If Richard's been up in the

attic fantasizing about being an extreme aggressor, this guy showed him how to do

it. He helped him take the first step. I think we should interview him.

Use this as pressure. No, no. We need leverage.

A name.

From the suspect list? That'll take too long. There's got to be a faster way.

There is.

Careful. This might be a little hot.

Mrs. Slessman, I don't think we've got the right guy. I think the person we're

looking for might be a friend of Richard's.

Richard never had many friends.

Are you sure?

There's got to be someone.

You reach Penelope Garcia and the FBI's Office of Supreme Genius.

Hey, it's Morgan.

Need you to work me some magic here.

I got a program called Deadbolt Defense on a girl with only a couple hours to

live, so what do you know?

Then you got a problem. Deadbolt's the number one password-crack-resistant

software out there. You're gonna have to get inside this guy's head to get the

password.

I thought I was calling the office of Supreme Genius.

Well, gorgeous, you've been rerouted to the office of Too Frickin' Bad.

Thanks anyway.

Well, there was... there was this one young man.

I think his name was Charlie.

Cross-reference Charlie for the second onset.

Charlie is probably Charles Linder.

He was Slessman's cellmate and received a dishonorable discharge from the

military. He's bigger, tougher. He could have protected Richard in prison. Where

were they incarcerated?

Cascadia. Less than a mile from here.

Let's go.

My name is Richard Slessman and I have trouble sleeping.

Okay, what do I do when I'm trying to get to sleep?

Guys, a little help.

We're going through every one of these CDs.

Scratches, wear and tear. I want to know which CD he plays the most. Let's go.

You're getting an address on Linda. It's coming right now.

Does senior management want a field assessment on Gideon?

Don't worry about it. Are you nervous about him being in charge?

Aren't you on your way back to Sussman's house to help Morgan?

Do you know why he always introduces me as Dr. Reed?

Because he knows that people see you as a kid and he wants to make sure that

they respect you.

What's the address?

Not only it matters anymore.

Winston Churchill said, the farther backward you can look, the farther

forward you will see.

Anyone who can tell us more about Slessman?

Tim Vogel was the security guard covering Slessman's block.

That's him over there. I'll get him for you.

That was Hodge.

Linder's name came up on a police report.

And? He's dead.

Car accident two months ago.

Linder is dead.

Too bad you guys came here for nothing.

I mean, talk about scum.

I can't remember how many times we put Linder in solitary for causing trouble

with us.

You think the inmates would try to stay on our good side, right?

Especially since half our job is protecting them from each other.

You protect them?

If you're a little white guy?

Especially in a prison like this.

When they're six-four, are you talking about Celeste?

Oh, yeah.

Thanks for your help.

He befriended Richard.

Protected him.

made him feel like he owed he fits the profile and did you see them the keys

Notch, I just found your leverage. His name is Timothy Vogel.

What's he doing?

Lowering the room temp. The gold puts them on edge.

Okay, so I want an SPD, and I want a Seattle agent in the room. I want him to

see that we've got every department working on this, and I need some file

boxes.

Fill them.

I don't care if the paper's blank, and I want you to write the name on the sides.

Whose name?

Four months investigative work. One file. And guess what, Richard? It's not

your file.

See, we don't care about you.

It's Vogel we want.

Oh, come on. I need a password.

I need a password.

What am I looking for?

What could I possibly be looking for?

I've been thinking about the CDs.

Oh, Reed, come on. We tried the CDs.

You searched, sifted, and sorted through every one of this guy's head-banging

heavy metal collection.

We gotta find something or this girl is dead.

I think we may have missed the obvious.

What are you doing?

Reed, what made you think of this?

It was the only empty case.

All right, I'm an insomniac who listens to Metallica to go to sleep at night.

What song could possibly speak to me?

Enter Sandman.

We found out Heather was buying a used car.

You know how car salesmen get us to buy a car?

They call it reciprocity.

They drop the price and it feels like they've done us a favor. We feel

obligated.

There's a sudden pressure to reciprocate this one little favor.

And it's so powerful that we'll...

Put a deposit down on a car we're not even sure we really want.

So what?

So Vogel did you a favor.

He protected you in prison, and now you feel like you owe him.

And you need to protect him.

Guys like Vogel earned in the schoolyard which gets to bully and which gets to

protect. And he's got you convinced that you owe him so much that you'll go to

jail for him.

Richard, I'm here to remind you... you of something.

You owe him nothing.

There's something wrong.

We gotta pull him over. I can feel it. I don't know the word repeated more than

any other in your file.

I'm patient.

You want to stop him, you give me a reason.

His behavior.

Do it.

FBI, put your hands up where we can see them.

Put your hands through the window now.

Now!

All right, now with your left hand, I want you to open the car door from the

outside.

Get out.

Get out!

It's not him. Where is he? Where is he? I don't know. What are you doing driving

his car? He came after me in the garage after our shift ended. He asked if he

could borrow my truck. What kind of truck? He's dumping the body.

What's I make? What's I make? Dodge Dakota.

Gideon, Heather's alive.

How do you know?

Because we're watching her right now.

He's got a killer. He's heading there now. We need a location.

Don't have enough time to get it out of him. Find something hot. That girl is

dead.

Morgan, can you show me the last 12 images lined up next to each other?

Yeah.

Right there.

Right there. You see that? The light bulb hanging from the wire?

Yeah. What about it?

It's shifting positions.

Like it's swaying. Like the earth is tilting.

Not the earth, Doc.

The ocean.

She's on a boat? Where?

It's a pier or a dock. He wouldn't be able to transmit the webcam image from

the middle of the ocean. You sure about this? It's the best we got, Hotch. But

even if we're right, getting the exact location's on you, my friend.

What is it you always ask Garcia?

To work me a little magic.

Just to let you know, Gideon's talking to Vogel.

And Vogel's nailing you to the wall.

Yeah, whatever.

He said it was your idea to keep the girls on a boat.

You're talking, Richard.

Reciprocity.

Tell me where she is, and we make a deal.

Up here.

It's a shipyard.

Allied shipyard.

Reed, he's inside.

Get Elle on the phone.

Listen to me. You need to wait for backup. If we wait, the girl is dead.

And if we had waited in Boston... He told me to trust my instincts.

Stop. Get back!

I'll shoot her.

I wouldn't.

If I were you, I'd aim the gun at me. You shoot the girl, you got the... Get

back! Shoot me instead.

Come on.

What are you, a lousy shot?

Fifteen feet away. You got a perfect shot. Shoot me.

You think I'm stupid? I think you're an absolute moron.

I know all about you, Tim.

You're at the gym five times a week. You drive a flashy car, you stink of

cologne, and you can't get it up.

Not even Viagra's worked before. You know what that tells me? That tells me

you are hopelessly compensating. It's not just in your head.

It is physical.

What did the girls call you in high school? What did they come up with when

you fumbled your way into some girl's pants and she started laughing when she

got a good look at just how little you had to offer? Shut up!

Short stack, very little. I got it. Tiny Tim.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Go look after the girl

What

kind

of report do they want on him?

I suppose whether he's fit to be a field agent

You know, Hayley and I were looking at a baby names book. Guess what Gideon means

in Hebrew?

Mighty warrior.

Appropriate.

So what are you going to tell him?

What would you say?

Gideon saved her life.

It's good enough for me.

Hey. You don't Haley pick the baby's name yet?

You know, it's funny.

Haley liked the name Charles.

But, you know, all I could think of.

Manson.

Then there was Henry. Lee Lucas.

Jeffrey. Dahmer.

There's just too many of them.

Kind of hard to feel good about catching one when you know there are 50 more

still out there.

How's your report going?

Don't think you could hide that from an old profiler now, did you?

You know you saved that girl today.

You can feel good about that.

It is good.

It's a good thing.

Nietzsche once said, when you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into

you.

I'll take this.

Have a nice day.

SHUT THE HELL UP SOMEBOD-
