[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[ELECTRONIC SAFE BEEPING]

HMM. I GOT
YOUR COFFEE.

ARE WE GONNA
TALK ABOUT THIS?

I'M LATE. TRAFFIC'S
ALREADY A MESS.

DAVID, COME ON.

HAVE YOU SEEN MY KEYS?

THEY'RE IN YOUR HAND.

I--
STOP.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

UM, I DON'T--I DON'T KNOW
WHEN I'LL BE HOME.

DON'T WAIT UP.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

HELLO, SIR. HI.

HEY.

UH, WHEN DO THE BANDAGES
COME OFF?

THE DOC SAYS A WEEK.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOOD. I'M GOOD.

I THINK HE'S BEEN HERE
ALL WEEKEND.

SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT.

SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT.
WHY DIDN'T I SEE IT?

HOW MUCH SLEEP HAVE YOU
GOTTEN SINCE WE GOT BACK?

IT WAS RIGHT THERE.

IT WAS RIGHT THERE,
AND I DIDN'T SEE IT.

NONE OF US DID.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

FINE.

NOT YOU, TOO.

YOU'RE TIRED OF
PEOPLE ASKING YOU

HOW YOU'RE DOING?

YES, I AM.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

IT'S AN OPEN INVESTIGATION.
THAT'S ALL.

WE LOST THE FIRST TIME, BUT
WE'LL GET ANOTHER CHANCE.

YES, WE WILL.

THIS TEAM DOESN'T
TAKE CARE OF ME.

I TAKE CARE OF THEM.
THAT'S MY JOB.

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
YOU DO THAT JOB SO WELL,

WE WANT TO BE THERE
FOR YOU WHEN WE CAN.

YOU WENT THROUGH
SOMETHING TERRIBLE
OUT THERE,

BUT YOU CAN'T KEEP IT
BOTTLED UP.

YOU KNOW THAT.

SO, DAVE, THERE'S REALLY
ONLY ONE QUESTION,

AND IT'S NOT
"HOW ARE YOU DOING?"

IT'S, WHO DO YOU
TRUST ENOUGH

TO SAY "I'M NOT
DOING SO GOOD"?

WHAT HAPPENED?

I GOT SENT HOME BY
THE PRINCIPAL.

YOU READY TO TALK
ABOUT IT?

[INHALES AND EXHALES]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[MAN YELLS]

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER:
I COULDN'T BREATHE.

[MAN GRUNTS]

I COULDN'T BREATHE.

I'M HERE.

I'M HERE.

[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
ABC STUDIOS, LLC AND CBS, INC.]

THANKS.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

AH. IT'S PORTIA.

SO HOW IS
MY SOON-TO-BE

STEPDAUGHTER DOING?

SHE LIKES TO SHARE
QUOTES WITH ME.

HERE'S TODAY'S.

STEPHEN KING WROTE,

"THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
ARE THE HARDEST TO SAY."

HOW WEIRDLY APPROPRIATE.

COME ON.

WE ARE GETTING MARRIED
IN 3 WEEKS.

AND IF WE WANT THIS TO WORK,

YOU HAVE TO LET ME IN.

IT STARTED WHEN WE
GOT CALLED IN

ON A SINGLE.

A SINGLE HOMICIDE

IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.

THAT IS, FIREFIGHTERS
RESPONDED TO A HOUSE FIRE

IN THE GREEN HILLS
NEIGHBORHOOD

AND WERE ABLE
TO PUT OUT THE FIRE

BEFORE IT DESTROYED
EVERYTHING,

BUT THEY DISCOVERED THE BODY
OF MONICA FEINSTEIN,

WITH A COMPLETE FACE LIFT.

AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE KIND THAT YOU NEED

A WEEKEND AND A BOTTLE OF
ASPIRIN TO GET OVER.

I'M TALKING CHEEK TO CHEEK,
NECK TO NOGGIN.

HER WHOLE FACE WAS LIFTED,
LIKE, REMOVED FROM HER--

LEWIS: ALL RIGHT.
WELL, BURNS ON THE BODY

WERE LIMITED
TO THE LEGS AND FEET,

BUT KNIFE MARKS WENT
ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO THE SKULL.

POSSIBLY SYMBOLIC.

WERE THE CUTS
POSTMORTEM?

THEY WERE. CAUSE OF DEATH
WAS STRANGULATION.

SO THE FACE IS
A TROPHY.

HE TOOK IT WITH HIM
TO RELIVE WHAT HE DID.

REID: AS WITH
JEFFREY DAHMER,

KILLERS OFTEN COLLECT
BODY PARTS

TO COMBAT A FEELING
OF INADEQUACY.

THEY SEE THE TROPHY
AS AN EXTENSION OF
THEIR OWN IDENTITY,

SOMETHING THEY'D RATHER DIE
THAN GIVE UP.

HOW DID THE UNSUB
SET THE FIRE?

GARCIA: FIREFIGHTERS SOURCED
THE FLAMES TO A LIT STOVE

AND THEN DISCOVERED EVIDENCE
OF CORRODED GAS PIPES.

THE GAS PIPES ARE MADE OF
GALVANIZED STEEL,

AND THE HOUSE IS ONLY
A FEW YEARS OLD.

THE UNSUB COULD'VE USED
SULFURIC ACID

TO MIMIC THE EFFECTS
OF CORROSION.

YEAH, HE'S GONE TO
GREAT LENGTHS

TO MAKE THE FIRE
LOOK LIKE
AN ACCIDENT.

NO FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE.

BURNING THE HOUSE DOWN
WOULD BE A PERFECT WAY
TO COVER YOUR TRACKS.

THE SOPHISTICATION SUGGESTS
THIS ISN'T HIS FIRST,

AND HE'S PROBABLY
PLANNING MORE.

WHEELS UP IN 20.

DID YOU FIND ANY OTHER
VICTIMS?

NOT ON THE FIRST SWEEP.

[BEEPS]

SO WE DISCUSSED
WHAT WE KNEW

ON OUR WAY
TO NASHVILLE.

MONICA FEINSTEIN, 52.

TAUGHT PRESCHOOL,
VOLUNTEERED IN
A SOUP KITCHEN.

SINGLE MOM, ADULT SON.

ABOUT AS LOW-RISK A LIFESTYLE
AS YOU CAN GET.

PRENTISS: AND THERE'S
NO SIGN OF FORCED ENTRY,

SO, THE UNSUB WAS EITHER
SOMEONE SHE KNEW

OR DIDN'T SEE AS A THREAT.

HE SETS THE FIRE TO
DESTROY THE EVIDENCE,

BUT HE COULD ALSO BE
SETTING IT

TO HIDE HIS OWN SHAME
OR DISGUST

FOR HAVING TAKEN
THE FACE.

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE,

BUT EVEN IF IT WAS
A TROPHY,

HE MIGHT'VE
HATED HIMSELF
FOR WANTING IT.

ROSSI: MOST UNSUBS HAVE
A LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP

WITH THEIR COMPULSIONS.

WHICH IN THIS CASE WOULD BE
EROTOPHONOPHILIA.

KRYSTALL:
EROTOPHONO-WHAT?

IT'S A $10 WORD
FOR LUST MURDER.

IT INVOLVES THE MUTILATION
OF BODY PARTS

THE UNSUB FINDS MOST
ATTRACTIVE.

NOW, IT COULD BE FEET
OR KNEECAPS,

BUT IT'S USUALLY
BREASTS OR GENITAL--

OK, GOT IT. GOT IT.

YOU ASKED.
OK, WELL,

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE
SHOULD HAVE

A SAFE WORD
OR SOMETHING.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
JUST TELL ME

WHEN TO LEAVE SOMETHING
TO THE IMAGINATION.

DEAL. OK.

SO IN THIS CASE,
IT WAS THE FACE. WHY?

THAT'S THE QUESTION
WE PURSUED WHEN WE LANDED.

SIMMONS: ACCORDING
TO THE AUTOPSY,

THE CUTS ON MONICA
WERE ROUGH
AND IMPRECISE.

BUT HE HAD
ALREADY STRANGLED HER.

HE HAD THE TIME AND CONTROL
TO DO WHAT HE WANTS.

HE HAD NO REASON TO RUSH.

BASED ON HIS SKILL
AND ORGANIZATION,

IT'S NOT INEXPERIENCE.

IT COULD BE THAT
HE LOSES CONTROL

BECAUSE HE'S OBTAINED
GRATIFICATION.

A DOPAMINE RUSH
IS SIMILAR
TO DRUG ADDICTION,

WHERE A FEELING OF
EUPHORIA SUSPENDS
FINE MOTOR SKILLS.

PRENTISS: MONICA FEINSTEIN
HAS A GROWN SON?

YEAH, CARL,
AGE 19. HE GOES TO
TENNESSEE TECH.

PRENTISS:
LET'S BRING HIM IN.

IF THE UNSUB WAS SOMEBODY
MONICA KNEW,

HE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO GIVE US A SUSPECT.

YEAH. I KNOW EXACTLY
WHO DID THIS.

HIS NAME'S MAC.
HE, UH--

HE WAS DATING MY MOM.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME
ABOUT HIM?

DORKY, BORING.

[SNIFFLES]

HE ALWAYS WORE
THESE, UH--

THESE
WOOL SWEATERS.

HE NEVER
STAYED OVER.

HE SAID HE WANTED
TO PROTECT

MY MOTHER'S VIRTUE.

THE KIND OF GUY THAT
WOULD GO OUT OF HIS WAY

TO APPEAR NONTHREATENING?

YEAH.

YOU WENT RIGHT AFTER HIM
AS YOUR MOTHER'S KILLER.

HOW COME?

BECAUSE YESTERDAY

I CAME HOME TO HELP
MY MOM AROUND THE HOUSE.

MAC: DON'T WORRY,
HONEY.

I'LL BE HOME SOON.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I LOVE YOU, TOO.
BYE.

HEY, WHO'S THAT?
HUH?

OH, HO. HEY! CARL,
I WAS--I WAS JUST--

CARL: NO, NO. WHO,
UH, WHO WAS THAT?

IS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT?

NO. HE JUST SAID
"I LOVE YOU"

TO SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE.

UH...

[CHUCKLES]

YEAH, MY MOM.

OH, YEAH? YOU CALL
YOUR MOTHER "HONEY"?

YEAH, I DO.

MONICA:
HE DOES.

I'VE HEARD HIM.
HE CHECKS ON HER
SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.

OK, HAVE YOU
EVER MET HIS MOTHER?

NO, I HAVEN'T,
BUT--

HEY, LET'S CLEAR THE AIR

AND ADDRESS WHAT'S
REALLY GOING ON HERE, YEAH?

YOU'RE BEING PROTECTIVE
OF YOUR MOM. HEH!

AND AS YOU SHOULD,
BECAUSE SHE IS

AN INCREDIBLY
SPECIAL WOMAN.

BUT I WANT TO--

I WANT TO PROVE TO YOU
HOW PURE MY INTENTIONS
ARE WITH HER,

BECAUSE I KNOW
THIS HAS BEEN FAST.

UM, I'VE BEEN WAITING
MY WHOLE LIFE FOR YOU...

AND I DON'T WANT TO WAIT
ANY LONGER.

WHAT?

WHAT?

[EXHALES]

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

OH, OF COURSE
I WILL.

[CHUCKLES]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE IT.

CARL, VOICE-OVER: I COULDN'T
STAND WATCHING HER

MAKE SUCH AN AWFUL DECISION
LIKE THAT, SO I LEFT.

HE MUST'VE KILLED HER
AS SOON AS I WAS GONE.

YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF MAC?

MY MOM, SHE POSTED A LOT
ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

HERE'S ALL HIS
CONTACT INFO.

ALVEZ: PAUL MacINTYRE,
AKA "MAC."

HE DATED MONICA TWO MONTHS
BEFORE HE PROPOSED TO HER.

AND THE ADDRESS HE GAVE HER
WAS A FAKE,

AND THE PHONE NUMBER THAT HE
GAVE TO HER WAS

FOR A BURNER THAT'S NOW
BEEN DISCONNECTED.

REID: YOU KNOW, IT COULD BE
AN UNSUB WHO TARGETS

A LONELY HEARTS
VICTIMOLOGY--

MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN
WHO ARE EMOTIONALLY
SUSCEPTIBLE TO HIS CHARISMA.

JAREAU: AND HE
TAKES HIS CHARM
AND HARM SEDUCTION

ALL THE WAY UP
TO THE PROPOSAL

AND KILLS THEM.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

PRENTISS: GARCIA,
WHAT'D YOU FIND?

OK, I RAN THIS PHOTO
OF MR. MacINTYRE

THROUGH FACIAL RECOGNITION,

AND I'M TELLING YOU WITH
MY FULL CONFIDENCE

HE DOES NOT EXIST.

AND I WANT TO BE REALLY
CLEAR ABOUT THIS.

I'M NOT SAYING HE
COVERED HIS TRACKS.

I'M SAYING THIS GUY IS
A STONE-COLD APPARITION.

IS THERE ANYTHING
IN THE CREATION OF
THE FALSE IDENTITY

WE CAN TRACK?

OK. ACCORDING TO HIS
FAUX DATING PROFILE,

HE VALUES FAMILY
AND SERVING THE HOMELESS,

WHICH WOULD BE REALLY
CUTE IF, YOU KNOW,

HE DIDN'T CUT HER FACE OFF
AND BURN HER HOUSE DOWN.

HELPING THE HOMELESS WAS

EXACTLY WHAT MONICA
WAS INTERESTED IN.

THE UNSUB WAS CREATING
A PERSONA TAILOR-MADE

TO GET HER GUARD DOWN.

WHAT ABOUT
FINANCIAL RECORDS?

GARCIA: OH, THIS IS WHERE
THINGS GET REALLY NASTY.

ACTUALLY, THE PART ABOUT
THE FACE IS THE NASTY THING,

BUT I'M SENDING YOU
THE SPECIFICS ON THIS.

SHORTLY BEFORE DATING
MONICA, THE UNSUB OPENED

A BANK ACCOUNT USING
THIS FAKE IDENTITY.

HE USED IT AS A FENCE
TO CREATE

AN UNTRACEABLE
OFFSHORE ACCOUNT.

HE WAS DRAINING MONICA'S
MONEY THE WHOLE TIME
THEY WERE DATING.

GARCIA: AND THEN THE
LOW-DOWN, LYING SLEAZEBALL

CLOSED SAID ACCOUNT.

AND WE ALL KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS,

DON'T WE, MY PRETTIES?

HE'S A CON MAN.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

LEWIS: YEAH, BUT CON MEN
RESORT TO VIOLENCE

ONLY OUT OF NECESSITY.

IF HE HAD A FALSE IDENTITY,

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER
JUST TO SKIP TOWN

THAN MURDER MONICA.

MAYBE AFTER THE PROPOSAL,
MONICA DISCOVERED HE

WASN'T WHO HE SAID HE WAS,

AND THEN HE KILLED HER TO
PROTECT HIS ANONYMITY.

BUT THEN WHY GO
TO THESE LENGTHS?

WHY START THE FIRE?

AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY,
WHY CUT OFF THE FACE?

I WAS WONDERING
THAT, TOO.

I MEAN, I'VE MET MY
SHARE OF CON MEN

DEALING BLACKJACK
IN VEGAS,

BUT ALL THEY CARE
ABOUT IS THE SCORE.

EXACTLY. HIS RITUAL
DIDN'T MATCH

WHAT A TYPICAL GRIFTER
WOULD DO.

SO WHY GO THROUGH
ALL THAT STUFF

WITH THE FACE
AND THE FIRE?

WE WEREN'T SURE.

AND WHILE WE WERE TRYING
TO FIGURE THAT OUT,

HE'D ALREADY LEFT THE STATE...

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER: AND DID WHAT
EVERY CON MAN DOES

WHEN THEY'RE ON THE RUN.

HE STARTED OVER.

[TURNS WATER ON]

HOW ABOUT THIS?

WOMAN: TURN TO THE LEFT.

NOW TO THE RIGHT.

IT'S GREAT.
THEY'RE ALL GREAT.

I ALSO LIKE THE TAN ONE
AND THE NAVY ONE.

YOU ARE LITERALLY NO HELP.

[DOOR OPENS]

OHH. I'M SORRY
I'M LATE, HONEY.

MEETING IN
NASHVILLE WENT LONG.

DIDN'T GET ON
THE ROAD TILL 1:00.

AW.

HEY.
HEY.

CHATTY GAL.

SHE'LL GET USED
TO THIS.

I LOVE THIS.
OH, THIS?

MM-HMM.

SOMETHING I JUST
THREW ON.

YOU KNOW WHAT I
WAS THINKING.

MAYBE WE'D TRY THAT
NEW ITALIAN SPOT

UNLESS YOU'RE
TOO TIRED.

NONSENSE.
NO?

JUST LET ME SETTLE IN
FOR A SECOND, HUH?

OK.

[MOANS SOFTLY]

MM.

[SIGHS]

OH, BE STILL.

YOU KNOW, IT WOULDN'T
BE SO BAD IF YOU

HAD CLEANED IT PROPERLY
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU BIG BABY.

SO...LET'S REVIEW.

ON THE ONE HAND,
YOU HAVE

A CASANOVA
CON ARTIST

SWEEPING A MIDDLE-AGED
WOMAN OFF HER FEET

WHILE EMPTYING HER
BANK ACCOUNTS.

AND ON THE OTHER, WE HAD
A KILLER CARVING FACES OFF.

YOU SAID THERE WERE
NO OTHER CASES.

NOT AT FIRST UNTIL
PRENTISS REALIZED

WE WERE LOOKING IN
THE WRONG PLACE.

WE DIDN'T TAKE HIS
FORENSIC COUNTERMEASURE

INTO ACCOUNT.

IT'S THE ARSON.

AND THAT'S THE ELEMENT
WE OVERLOOKED

FOR PREVIOUS MURDERS.

BAE, HIT ME.

PRENTISS: GARCIA, LOOK
INTO ACCIDENTAL FIRES

IN TENNESSEE,
WHERE A MIDDLE-AGED
WOMAN WAS KILLED.

HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GONNA TASK ME

WITH SOMETHING
BONE-CRUSHINGLY BLEAK
AND DEPRESSING.

ACCIDENTS--MIDDLE-AGED.

LIMIT THE SEARCH TO
WOMEN IN THEIR 50s

WHO WERE DATING
A YOUNGER MAN.

ENTERING COUGARVILLE. RAWR.

IT'S GONNA TAKE ME
A HOT MINUTE

TO HACK AND SLASH THROUGH
ALL THIS SOCIAL MEDIA.

2, 3, 4, 5, 7 HITS,
STILL COUNTING.

CON ARTISTS TYPICALLY
TARGET SOMEONE

WITH A VOID
IN THEIR LIFE.

SO WHAT MADE MONICA
AN OPTIMAL TARGET?

HER SON LEFT FOR COLLEGE
LAST YEAR.

SHE WAS LIVING ALONE.

GARCIA, OF THOSE 7 WOMEN,
HOW MANY OF THEM HAD

CHILDREN WHO MOVED OUT JUST
BEFORE THEY WERE KILLED?

PUTTING ON MY
EMPTY NESTER FILTER.

BOOM. CLARISSA CARNEY,
AGE 54.

DIED IN A FIRE IN MEMPHIS
5 MONTHS AGO,

TWO ADULT CHILDREN--
CLARE AND DAMIAN CARNEY.

OK, LET'S BRING
THOSE KIDS IN HERE

AND SEE IF THEY
RECOGNIZE OUR UNSUB.

CLARE: THAT'S HIM.

HE DON'T LOOK
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

MOM CALLED HIM MIKE.

SHE SAID HE WAS A GODSEND
AFTER OUR DAD DIED.

A GODSEND. HOW EXACTLY?

CLARE: HE WAS INTERESTED
IN ALL THE SAME THINGS

SHE WAS INTERESTED IN.

TOOK HER ON TRIPS.

WHICH SHE LOVED.

BOUGHT HER ALL
KINDS OF GIFTS.

NOTICE ANYTHING
STRANGE ABOUT
THE RELATIONSHIP?

I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED
WHEN THEY GOT ENGAGED.

IT WAS A LITTLE FAST.

CLARE: AND THEN
HE DISAPPEARED
JUST AS FAST.

HE PROPOSED,

AND THEN
THE NEXT DAY,
THE FIRE HAPPENED.

HE DIDN'T EVEN COME
TO THE FUNERAL.

ALVEZ: DID HE HAVE ACCESS
TO YOUR MOM'S BANK ACCOUNTS?

NO. WHY?

ARE YOU SURE?

HE DIDN'T TRY TAKING
ANY MONEY FROM YOUR MOM?

NO. IN FACT,
WE WERE SURPRISED

AT HOW MUCH SHE LEFT US
IN THE WILL.

IT WAS OVER
7 FIGURES.

YOU SAID YOU HAD
A PICTURE OF HIM?

SHE EMAILED THIS TO US

WHEN THEY TOOK
A TRIP TO CHICAGO.

ROSSI: WE LEARNED A LOT
FROM THE PHOTO.

KRYSTALL: HE'S OLDER
IN THIS PICTURE.

BEARD, DIFFERENT GLASSES,
DIFFERENT HAIR COLOR,

DIFFERENT EYE COLOR,
WHICH MEANS HE'S

WEARING COLORED CONTACTS.

CON MEN KNOW HOW
TO CHANGE THEIR LOOK.

WELL, NOT TO THIS LENGTH.

TAKE A LOOK AT HIS
FIRST IDENTITY AGAIN

WHEN HE WAS MAC.

OK.

IMAGINE SOMETHING WITH ME.

IT'S NOT GONNA BE GROSS
OR SCARY, IS IT?

NO. JUST CLOSE
YOUR EYES, LISTEN,

AND PUT YOURSELF THERE.

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER: CON MEN
ARE CREATURES OF HABIT,

WHICH IS A NICE WAY OF
SAYING THEY'RE

FUNDAMENTALLY LAZY.

LIKE MOST PSYCHOPATHS,
THEY GET BORED EASILY.

THEY CHANGE JUST ENOUGH
ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE

TO KEEP THEIR CON ALIVE.

THIS GUY DID MORE THAN JUST
CHANGE HIS CLOTHES AND HAIR.

BASED ON OUR INTERVIEWS,
WE LEARNED THAT HE

ALTERED HIS MANNERISMS,
HIS BODY LANGUAGE,

EVEN HIS ACCENT.

[MOCK SOUTHERN ACCENT]
YOU ARE SO DARN
BEAUTIFUL.

YOU'RE NOT SO BAD YOURSELF,
MISTER. HA HA...

OH, MY GOD.

MAN: ♪ I SAID, WOW!

♪ I SAID,
WOW ♪

[INDISTINCT SINGING
ON SOUNDTRACK]

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER: NOW, A MAN
WHO CAN CHANGE THAT MUCH.

HOW DO YOU THINK HE WOULD FEEL
ABOUT HIMSELF?

[MacINTYRE LAUGHS]

SHH.

HA HA! MM. MM.

[YELLS]

[CLATTER]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

KRYSTALL, VOICE-OVER:
LIKE HE HAD NO IDENTITY...

LIKE HE HAD
NO FACE.

[SCOFFS]

THAT'S WHEN WE KNEW
IT WAS TIME TO DELIVER
THE PROFILE.

THE UNSUB WE'RE DEALING WITH
THINKS HE'S A CON MAN,

BUT A CON MAN WOULDN'T LEAVE
MONEY IN THE BANK LIKE HE
DID WITH CLARISSA CARNEY.

REID: THIS MAN IS
A MALIGNANT NARCISSIST
AND MISOGYNIST

WHO FUNDAMENTALLY HATES
THE WOMEN HE TAKES
ADVANTAGE OF.

HE CAN'T REVEAL WHO HE
TRULY IS TO THEM,

SO AT THE MOMENT
OF THEIR GREATEST
HAPPINESS,

HE DESTROYS IT
AND TAKES THEIR FACE.

NOW, A HATRED THIS SEVERE,
WHERE RAGE TRUMPS MONEY,

INDICATES THAT OUR UNSUB HAS
A DAMAGED RELATIONSHIP

WITH THE PRIMARY
FEMALE FIGURE IN HIS LIFE,
MOST LIKELY HIS MOTHER.

WAIT. WHY HIS MOTHER?

COULDN'T HE JUST BE SOME GUY
WITH A BROKEN HEART?

SOMETHING MUST HAVE
HAPPENED DURING
HIS FORMATIVE YEARS

TO PRODUCE THIS LEVEL
OF VIOLENCE.

HE'S BEEN NURSING THIS ANGER
FOR A LONG TIME.

THE TIME HE SPENDS
WITH HIS MARKS IS
OUR BEST LEAD RIGHT NOW,

AND ALTHOUGH HE GOES
TO GREAT LENGTHS
TO HIDE HIS FACE,

HE PROBABLY USES ALL
OR PART OF THE SAME
COVER STORY IN HIS CON.

AND THE DETAILS
HE RECYCLES MIGHT

BE HELPFUL TO
OUR INVESTIGATION.

THERE MIGHT BE
SOME BREAD CRUMBS
IN THERE

THAT HELP LEAD US
TO WHERE HE IS NOW.

OR, MORE LIKELY,
THEY'LL TELL US WHO HE
WAS TO BEGIN WITH.

KRYSTALL: OK, I KNOW
THIS PART FROM DEALING CARDS.

EVERY BLUFF HAS
A TELL,

AND THAT TELL IS
THE TRUTH SEEPING OUT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

A CON MAN KEEPS
HIS STORY STRAIGHT

BY DRAWING
FROM HIS OWN LIFE.

BUT TO GET
THOSE DETAILS, WE NEEDED
TO FIND MORE VICTIMS.

DID YOU FIND THEM?

GARCIA DID, ONCE SHE
EXPANDED HER SEARCH
BEYOND STATE LINES.

BUT AS WE WERE PULLING
THOSE FAMILIES,

HE'D ALREADY MOVED ON
TO ANOTHER TARGET.

OK, YOU TWO ARE JUST
THE CUTEST TEAM EVER.

CAREFUL NOW.YES, MA'AM.

DON'T LEAVE ME
HANGING.

OK.

TELL ME, WHAT DO I
HAVE TO DO TO GET
ON YOUR GOOD SIDE?

WELL, FOR STARTERS,
YOU COULD MAYBE EXPLAIN
SOMETHING TO ME.

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS
WITH HER?

WELL, UH...

HONESTLY, I DON'T--
I DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW.

IT'S EARLY.
WE--WE JUST STARTED
SEEING EACH OTHER.

LOOK...

JUST DON'T
HURT HER, OK?

KRYSTALL: HE DID
HURT HER, DIDN'T HE?

YEAH.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED? I MEAN,
YOU WEREN'T THERE.

WE GATHERED THAT
FROM INTERVIEWS
AFTER THE FACT.

AND AS WE BROUGHT IN
THE FAMILIES,

WE DRILLED DOWN ON
THE UNSUB'S BACK STORY,

AND THAT'S HOW WE FOUND
A PATTERN.

HE TOLD MY MOM HE WORKED
FOR A HIGH-POWERED
CONSULTANT FIRM

AND TRAVELED ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.

AND WHAT ABOUT WHERE
HE WAS FROM?

DID HE EVER TELL YOU THAT?YEAH.

HE SAID HE WAS FROM
ABERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI,
HIS HOMETOWN.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
ABERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI.

HE TOLD A STORY ABOUT
HIS DAUGHTER. I THINK
HER NAME WAS GRACE.

GRACE.
YEAH, SHE, UM,

SHE WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD,
BACK IN ABERDEEN.

YEAH, HE SAID
THAT GRACE DROWNED
WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG.

YEAH, DROWNED
IN THE BATHTUB.

AND THAT IT WAS
HIS MOTHER'S FAULT.

CARL:
SHE LEFT GRACE ALONE.

GRACE BUMPED HER HEAD
IN THE BATH AND DROWNED.

YEAH, HE NEVER FORGAVE
HER AFTER THAT.

PRENTISS:
SO LET'S ASSUME THAT PART
OF THE UNSUB'S STORY IS TRUE.

LETTING HIS DAUGHTER DIE
COULD BE THE SOURCE OF
HIS RAGE TOWARD HIS MOTHER.

WE PROFILED SOMETHING
IN HIS MORE FORMATIVE
YEARS, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW, THE DROWNING
COULD BE THE CULMINATION
OF THE MOTHER'S

LIFELONG NEGLECT
TOWARDS THE UNSUB.

WELL, MOST GRANDMOTHERS
WOULD WATCH THEIR GRANDCHILD
LIKE A HAWK IN THE BATHTUB.

YOU KNOW,
AS CONFIDENCE GAMES
GO, HIS STORY IS

BOTH UTILITARIAN
AND ELEGANT;

DROWNING GARNERS
INSTANT SYMPATHY
FROM HIS VICTIMS.

HOW BIG IS ABERDEEN?

IT'S ABOUT
5,000 RESIDENTS.
WHY?

TOWN THAT SMALL,
IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD

TO FIND A RECORD OF
A TRAGEDY THAT BIG.

ROSSI: BUT IN THIS
PARTICULAR INSTANCE, IT WAS.

PRENTISS, ON PHONE:
ANY LUCK?

SADLY, I TELL YOU NO.

ABERDEEN IS A LITTLE
TOO SMALL.

THE POLICE HAVEN'T
DIGITIZED THE RECORDS YET,

LET ALONE ANYTHING
FROM THE EARLY AUGHTS.

WE'LL HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THEM BY HAND.

I'LL SEND LUKE AND MATT.

KRYSTALL: SO YOU DID
AND THAT'S HOW YOU
CAUGHT HIM, RIGHT?

WHAT?

DAVID, WHAT IS IT?

WE WERE CLOSING IN
ON HIM,

BUT THE WOMAN
HE WAS WITH--

MARY...

SHE MADE
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

MARY, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

TO DESERVE A MEAL
THIS EXTRAORDINARY.

WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

WELL, I WANTED TONIGHT
TO BE SPECIAL.

[CHUCKLES]
SPECIAL?

MM-HMM.

LISTEN, BILL, UH,

I GOT YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S HAWAIIAN KOA WOOD.

MARY: IT REMINDED ME
OF WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU
ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO KAUAI.

WELL, I'VE BEEN SAVING UP
POINTS AND PAID SICK DAYS,

ENOUGH FOR US
TO GO ON A MODEST
BUT EXTENDED HONEYMOON.

HONEYMOON?

I KNEW THAT YOU WERE
THE MAN I WANTED

TO SPEND THE REST
OF MY LIFE WITH
THE MOMENT WE MET.

AND I KNOW THIS ISN'T
HOW IT'S DONE, BUT,

BILL,

WOULD YOU BE MY HUSBAND?

MARY: OH.

[GIGGLING]

I LOVE HAWAII.

[GIGGLING]

NO!

THAT POOR MOTHER
AND DAUGHTER.

WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH.

YOU SAID YOU WERE
CLOSING IN ON HIM, AND...

THE PATH WENT THROUGH
ABERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI.

MATT AND LUKE WENT
DOWN THERE.

ROSSI: IN AN ACCIDENTAL DEATH
LIKE THAT, WITNESSES CERTAINLY
WIND UP IN A POLICE REPORT.

SO THEY LOOKED FOR SMALLER,
PETTY CRIMES HE MIGHT HAVE
BEEN BUSTED FOR.

THEY SEARCHED
ARREST RECORDS FOR FRAUD.

INSTEAD, FOUND ONE FOR BIGAMY.

WHOA.

OF COURSE.

HE PROPOSED
WITH EVERY CRIME.

I MEAN, HE'D LEAVE
A TRAIL.

EXCEPT IT WASN'T
HIS RECORD.

IT WAS
THE UNSUB'S MOTHER.

ROBERTA LYNCH, 62.

STARTING IN THE LATE SEVENTIES,
SHE HOPPED FROM SUITOR
TO SUITOR,

GETTING THEM TO MARRY HER
AND THEN TAKING THEM
FOR ALL THEY'RE WORTH.

AN ARREST IN 1991 REVEALED
SHE HAD A SON, EVERETT,

WHO WAS PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE
TO THE CON SHE WAS BUSTED FOR.

HAVING A CON WOMAN
FOR A MOTHER WOULD
HAVE INSTILLED

THE NARCISSISM
AND MISOGYNY
THAT WE PROFILED.

OK, THE PATH TO FINDING HIM
IS THROUGH HIS MOTHER.
WHERE IS SHE NOW?

SOUTH MISSISSIPPI
STATE PRISON. SHE'S
DOING 25 TO LIFE

FOR KILLING A BOYFRIEND
IN A DOMESTIC DISPUTE.

SOUNDS LIKE THAT RUNS
IN THE FAMILY, ALSO.

KRYSTALL:
I IMAGINE A CON WOMAN

WOULD BE
PRETTY TIGHT-LIPPED.

THAT WAS
OUR ASSUMPTION, TOO,

BUT SHE WASN'T QUITE
WHAT WE EXPECTED.

[BUZZ]

WE APPRECIATE YOU SPEAKING
TO US, MRS. LYNCH.

OH.

MY DEGENERATE LAWYER
IS WHO TALKED ME INTO
THAT PLEA DEAL.

NOW I'M STUCK
IN THIS BOX

UNTIL I'LL BE...
SPORTIN' DEPENDS
UNDERNEATH THE JUMPSUIT.

[CHUCKLES]

BUT IT ALSO MEANS
THAT I'M AN OPEN BOOK.

OH.

[GIGGLES]

SORRY. SO WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU, BROWN EYES?

MRS. LYNCH, WE, UH--

OH, PLEASE.

YOU GOT TO CALL
ME BOBBIE. HMM?

BUT NOT YOU.
NOPE.

YOU CALL ME
MS. LYNCH

'CAUSE YOU'RE
A BAD, BAD BOY.

I, UH, DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO SAY TO THAT.

HA! STILL GOT IT.
[CHUCKLES]

BOBBIE,

WE'RE HERE TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT EVERETT.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
THAT DOESN'T
SURPRISE ME.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW HIM?

THAT KID'S BEEN
IN THE WIND
SINCE HE WAS...

22 OR...

AND HE'S NEVER
REACHED OUT. HEH!

HE NEVER EVEN CAME
TO VISIT ME.

YOU TELL ME,
WHAT KIND OF SON

TREATS HIS MAMA
THAT WAY?

ESPECIALLY AFTER
EVERYTHING THAT I
TAUGHT HIM.

WHAT DID YOU TEACH HIM?

WELL, HE WAS
MY LITTLE SOLDIER.

HE WAS...
MY PARTNER IN CRIME.

WE WERE JUST
A COUPLE OF
ROLLING STONES,

MAKING
OUR WAY ACROSS
THE BIBLE BELT.

YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT YOUR CONS, RIGHT?

[GIGGLES]

THAT'S RIGHT, MUSCLES.

SEE, I WOULD FIND
SOME GULLIBLE SCHMO...

[SOBBING]
AND I'D TELL HIM
HOW WE...

I WAS THROWN OUT
ON THE STREET
WITH MY POOR KID.

[NORMAL VOICE]
YOU KNOW, NOTHING
OPENS UP DOORS

LIKE A BLUBBERING
7-YEAR-OLD,
I TELL YA. HA!

THEY WOULD FALL ASS
OVER ELBOWS, JUST--

AND THEN,
PRETTY SOON...

THEY'D GET DOWN
ON ONE KNEE

AND I WOULD JUST
TAKE 'EM FOR EVERY
LAST NICKEL.

THEN YOU KNOW WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN?

WHAT?

[GIGGLES]

WE'D LAUGH.

OH, MY, WE WOULD
LAUGH SO MUCH JUST

ABOUT THESE POOR,
HELPLESS CHUMPS. HA!

WHERE DO YOU THINK EVERETT
MIGHT BE RIGHT NOW?

I DON'T KNOW.
I GOT NO IDEA.

BUT--HEH!--GIVEN
THAT THE FEDS ARE
LOOKIN' FOR HIM,

I SURMISE THAT HE'S
STILL RUNNIN' CONS,

AND GUESS WHAT.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA
CATCH HIM

'CAUSE I TAUGHT HIM
EVERYTHING I KNOW,

EVERYTHING,
AND THAT IS ENOUGH
TO KEEP HIM

ALWAYS JUST OUT
OF YOUR REACH.

HE'S KILLING
HIS MARKS NOW.

ALVEZ: BUT WE THINK
HE'S DOING IT

BECAUSE HE CAN'T
KILL YOU...

AFTER WHAT YOU DID
TO GRACE.

GRACE?YEAH, YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER.

THE ONE YOU LET DROWN,
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE
WATCHING HER?

[SCOFFS]

TOOK AWAY MY UTENSILS,
JUST 'CAUSE I SHIVVED SOME
PRETTY BITCH LAST SUMMER.

FORGIVE ME, AGENTS,
BUT...

I THINK THAT I'VE
ANSWERED ENOUGH
OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

JAREAU: THE DETAIL
ABOUT THE DROWNING HIT
A NERVE WITH ROBERTA.

WHICH SUGGESTS THERE'S
ANOTHER ELEMENT OF TRUTH
TO EVERETT'S BACK STORY.

NOW, HE PUTS HIMSELF
IN THE SUBMISSIVE ROLE

THAT HE AND HIS MOTHER
WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
IN HER CONS.

SO EVERY TIME HE
GETS DOWN ON ONE KNEE
WITH HIS VICTIMS,

HE HEARS
HIS MOTHER'S LAUGHTER
RINGING IN HIS EARS.

ROBERTA SAID
THAT SHE TAUGHT EVERETT
EVERYTHING HE KNOWS.

WHAT IF THERE'S
A PATTERN IN THAT?

PRENTISS:
WHAT KIND OF PATTERN?

FOLLOWING
HER TRAIL, MAYBE,
GOING TO THE CITIES

WHERE HER CON WORKED,
THINKING HE CAN WORK
THE SAME MAGIC.

HEY, ROSSI'S RIGHT.
ALL 3 OF EVERETT'S KILLS

HAPPENED IN CITIES WHERE
HIS MOM CONNED A MAN:

BIRMINGHAM, MEMPHIS,
NASHVILLE.

HE'S EVEN MIRRORING
THE ORDER IN WHICH HIS
MOTHER VISITED EACH CITY.

WHERE DID ROBERTA GO
AFTER NASHVILLE?
LITTLE ROCK.

WELL, THAT'S GOT TO BE
WHERE HE IS NOW.

[VACUUMING]

[PHONE RINGS]

I WAS GETTING LONELY.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?

WE THINK OUR UNSUB'S
NEXT TARGET LIVES
IN LITTLE ROCK.

I NEED YOU
TO ASSEMBLE A POOL
OF POTENTIAL VICTIMS

BASED ON OUR
VICTIMOLOGY--WOMEN
ROUGHLY 50 YEARS OLD,

RECENT EMPTY-NESTERS.NO BOUT A DOUBT IT.

JAREAU: LIMIT
YOUR SEARCH TO WOMEN
ON DATING WEBSITES,

SPECIFICALLY THOSE
INTERESTED IN
GETTING MARRIED.

OK, WOMEN IN LITTLE ROCK
LOOKING FOR...A LITTLE ROCK.

PRENTISS: SEND US
THEIR DATING PROFILES
AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

WE'LL WORK IT ON OUR END.YEAH, YEAH.

KRYSTALL: THAT MUST
HAVE BEEN A LONG LIST
OF POTENTIAL VICTIMS.

ROSSI: REID DOES HAVE A KNACK
OF FINDING THE BLACK CAT
IN THE COAL MINE.

GOT HIM.

AND THAT'S HOW YOU
CAUGHT HIM, FINALLY.

NO, IT IS HOW WE
FOUND HIM,

BUT WHAT WE
DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT
THE UNSUB'S MOTHER

MADE A PHONE CALL
FROM THE PRISON
AFTER WE LEFT.

TO HER SON.

TO HER LAWYER,

AND SINCE
THAT'S PRIVILEGED,
WE DON'T KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT SHE
SAID, BUT WE CAN
HAZARD A GUESS.

YOU TELL
THAT ROTTEN BASTARD

THAT THE FBI IS
ON HIS ASS,

AND HOW DARE HE,

HOW DARE HE BRING
MY GRANDDAUGHTER
INTO HIS...

AND THAT'S NOT MY FAULT.

HE DID WHAT HE DID

TO--TO POOR LITTLE GRACIE.
THAT'S NOT ON ME.

ROSSI: BECAUSE OF THAT, WE LOST
THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE.

SHE SAID WHAT?

OK.

I'M GONNA NEED
TO IMPROVISE
A LITTLE BIT,

OK?

[WHIMPERS]

SO HERE'S WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO.

[CRYING]

SO YOU WERE WALKING
INTO A TRAP.

I...

I CAN'T LEAVE
THIS NEXT PART TO
THE IMAGINATION.

IT'S OK. JUST--
JUST TAKE YOUR TIME.

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER:
WE UNDERESTIMATED.

KRYSTALL: UNDERESTIMATED WHAT?

ROSSI: HOW MANY WOMEN HE KILLED.

[SIGHS]
SO...

WITH THOSE FIRST
3 VICTIMS...

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER: WE WERE
BARELY SCRATCHING THE SURFACE.

ONCE WE WERE INSIDE THE HOUSE,
WE HEARD HER SCREAMING.

HELP! HELP ME!
UPSTAIRS.

WE NEED TO CLEAR
THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

I'M WITH YOU. GO.KRYSTALL: WHO, THE MOTHER?

ROSSI: THE DAUGHTER.PLEASE, YOU GOT TO HELP ME!

HEY, DON'T WORRY.
WE'RE GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF HERE.

HE TOOK HER!
YOU HAVE TO SAVE HER!

REID: NO SIGN OF HIM
OR MARY. LEWIS IS
WITH ROSSI AND SIMMONS.

WHERE DID HE TAKE
YOUR MOM?

THERE'S A BARN
IN THE WOODS OUT BACK!

ROSSI, CHECK THE WOODS
BEHIND THE HOUSE.
LOOK FOR A BARN.

[MARY WHIMPERING]

WE GOT YOU.

[DUCT TAPE RIPS]

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
THE FACES ARE HIS TROPHIES.

HE WOULDN'T LEAVE THEM
BEHIND IF--

HE KNEW WE WERE COMING.PLEASE!

YOU HAVE TO FIND HER!

DON'T WORRY. WE'RE GONNA
FIND YOUR MOM. ALL RIGHT,
NOW WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

GRACE. I'M GRACE. PLEASE!
HE'S GONNA KILL HER!

GRACE?

DADDY!
[SCREAMS]

OH, MY GOD.

SHE WAS HIS DAUGHTER?

YES.

MARY CULLEN DID HAVE
A COLLEGE-AGE DAUGHTER,

BUT SHE WAS AT COLLEGE.

GRACE NEVER DROWNED?
NO.

AND THIS WAS THE FIRST
TIME HE BROUGHT HER IN
ON ONE OF HIS CONS.

WE DIDN'T SEE IT,

AND IT ALMOST GOT US
ALL KILLED.

[GUNFIRE]

SIMMONS: FIND OUT WHERE
HE'S SHOOTING FROM!

[DUCT TAPE RIPS]

[GUNSHOT]

ROSSI: TAKE THE OTHER SIDE.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO FLANK
HIM FROM BEHIND.

YEAH.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[MAN YELLS]

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER:
MY LAST THOUGHT WAS,
"DON'T BLACK OUT.

IF YOU BLACK OUT,
YOU'RE DEAD."

AND THEN I BLACKED OUT.

WE SAVED MARY,
WE ARRESTED GRACE,

BUT HE GOT AWAY.

YOU'LL CATCH HIM.

EXCEPT THIS GUY,
HE'S A CHAMELEON.

HE COULD WALK UP TO ME
WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND AND
I'D NEVER SEE HIM COMING.

THAT'S WHERE THIS
CAME FROM.

[GASPS]

ROSSI, VOICE-OVER:
HE LEFT ME A REMINDER
OF WHAT HE COULD DO.

HE COULD HAVE TAKEN
MY FACE IF HE WANTED.

HE DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU
LOSE ON THIS JOB.

I GET IT, BUT THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME
IN A LONG TIME

THAT I WAS BEATEN BY
SOMEONE YOUNGER, FASTER,

STRONGER THAN I AM.

BUT THAT'S WHAT'S
BEEN BOTHERING ME
ABOUT THIS CASE...

THAT MAYBE I'M...

JUST NOT AS GOOD
AS I ONCE WAS.

MAYBE I'M A HALF A STEP
SLOWER, MAYBE...

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T
BE OUT THERE

BECAUSE NEXT TIME...

NEXT TIME,
I WON'T WAKE UP.

YOU LEFT
SOMETHING OUT.

YOU DIDN'T SAY SMARTER

BECAUSE HE ISN'T,

AND THAT'S HOW YOU'RE
GONNA CATCH HIM

BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU
ALWAYS CATCH 'EM.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
THAT LOST.

HE LOST, TOO.

AND EVEN I KNOW

WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO NEXT.

THANK YOU

FOR LISTENING...

FOR...

[KISS]
FOR BEING HERE.

DO YOU WANT ME
TO GO WITH YOU?

NO.

I'VE GOT TO DO
THIS ONE ON MY OWN.

[KEYS JINGLING]
