You'd think this kid
would learn how to text by now.

Anyway, Reid says his mom's doing
much better and he misses us.

-That's great news.
-Oh. Good morning, JJ.

What's goin' on,
a little morning-after blues?

Wait, let me guess, let me guess.

Date night. Romantic dinner and a movie.

Derek, I don't think that's what it is.

No, no, come on, come on.
There was probably

a little wine involved to set the mood

and then you finished it off
with a little hanky panky.

I'm way off, aren't I?

You're cute. But the only action
happening at our house at 3 a.m.

is a colicky baby.

Gas? I'm guessing a lot of it.

Yeah.

Colicky. I knew that. I knew that.

Hi, I'm Tara Lewis.
It's great to officially meet you.

Same here. I've heard so much about you.

So I'm assuming sleep
is a thing of the past at your house?

Uh, you know, everyone said
two was a game-changer.

We were expecting twice the work, but wow.

Hey, Rossi.

Where's Hotch and Garcia?
I thought we had a case.

We do, but they're behind closed doors.

Is this about the network of hitmen?

Yeah.

Any update?

Nothing yet, but Hotch
has pulled out all the stops.

How's she doing?

She's got four hitmen targeting her,
so she's a little rattled.

Yeah, I heard something
about witness protection.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

For how long?

Until we can produce a viable lead.

You'll be here and an agent will be
assigned to you until further notice.

This is horrible.

Witness protection
wanted to move you to another state.

I convinced them that
you would be safer here.

Thank you for that. Um...

Okay, I need to go home
and get my creature comfort things.

Garcia, this starts now.

What do you... What about Sergio?

I have plants I need to water...

Make a list and I'll send someone
to pick up whatever you need.

Okay.

Wait.

Thank you. Oh.

Who's getting the stuff?

Anderson.

He can't see that.

But I really need it.

Garcia. Let's get to work.

Right.

The Phoenix division
is requesting our help

with two recent abductions,
one of which has led to murder.

Uh, okay. Five days ago,
the body of Steven Jackson

was discovered
on a rural road just outside the city.

He was reported missing
after missing several shifts at work.

Which brings us to our second victim,
Lance Coleman.

According to authorities, three days ago
he was due home in Phoenix

from a business trip in Tucson.

And security footage shows
him entering the airport,

but the flight manifest
says he never got on the plane.

It's as if these two vanished.

On average, over 90,000
people go missing each year.

54% of those are men.
Only 15% return alive.

Their preliminary M.E. report
shows deep ligature marks

and lacerations on Steven's wrists.

He was likely restrained
for an extended period of time.

Which means the UnSub
has a secure secondary location

where he holds them captive.

It says here Steven
suffered repeated burns

and contusions all over his body.

Extreme torture. The UnSub's found
an outlet for his aggression.

No obvious signs of sexual assault.

The torture could be
what's getting him off.

That makes sense.
He gets sexual gratification

from inflicting psychological
and physical suffering on his victims.

Well, this level of violence
suggests that it's personal.

Maybe it's about revenge.

These two crossed the UnSub,
now he wants to make them pay.

Or at the very least,
he's using them as surrogates

for the true target of his anger.

It's possible he was testing
to see just how much torture

Steven could take before he'd break.

Well, Coleman's been missing
for over 72 hours.

If revenge is the UnSub's motivation,
he could already be dead.

Well, unless we have reason
to believe otherwise,

we have to assume Lance Coleman's alive,
and we need to find him.

Wheels up in 20.

Hey!

Over here!

Hey!

Oh, God!

Over here!

This is Chopper 482.
We have a visual on Lance Coleman.

I repeat, we have
a visual on Lance Coleman.

Help me!

Help me.

Wake up!

I said, wake up!

No.

Look at me.

Look at me.

We're just getting started.

"You can chain me, you can torture me,

"you can even destroy this body,

"but you will never imprison my mind."

Mahatma Gandhi.

Hey. Uh, did you want a cup?

Oh. Right, right. The whole, um...

- Yeah.
- Yeah. I'm still nursing.

That's okay. Only 45 days,
three hours, and six minutes left,

-but who's counting?
-You're really not messing around.

No, you don't stand
between a woman and her caffeine.

Well, listen, when your sentence is up,
first cup's on me.

Deal.

Besides being residents
of one of the hottest...

And I'm sure they're all pleasant-looking,

but I'm talking Fahrenheit here...
Cities in the country,

I can't find any connections
between the victims.

Garcia, what about Lance's
credit cards? Any activity?

Uh, his last transaction
was a car service to the airport.

Besides that, it's a ghost town.

Both vics appear to be low-risk.
It speaks to the UnSub's confidence.

Steven looks like
he practically lived at the gym.

They couldn't be more
physically different.

Well, he definitely
lived the bachelor's lifestyle...

Single, he rented a studio apartment,

worked freelance
as an overnight security guard.

Lance Coleman was the opposite.
He's a family man.

Been married to his
wife Karen for nearly 20 years.

And he also owned
his own business.

He would take weekly
commuter flights to Tucson

to meet with potential investors.

Maybe the UnSub's motivation
is business related, not personal.

Garcia, see if Steven ever worked
security for Lance's company.

Gotcha.

All right, so how did he
get to these guys?

I'm leaning towards a blitz attack.

Uh, these look like electrical burns.

The UnSub could be using
some kind of a Taser.

Both victims went missing
while traveling at night.

That speaks to the UnSub's
knowledge of their schedules.

He may have stalked them
over an extended period of time.

Which is how he knew
the most opportune moment to strike.

There are no witnesses, no cameras.
They're simply gone.

He targeted these men for a reason.

The sooner we find out why,
the sooner we'll find Lance.

Agent Hotchner? Thanks for coming out.

Agent Webster, this is
Agent Jareau, Agent Rossi.

Welcome. Right this way.

So we've checked local hospitals
and accident reports.

No one matches Coleman's description.

What about Tucson? Any leads there?

Well, they're coming up empty, too.

Have you been able to get
ahold of Steven Jackson's family?

His parents live up north.
They're driving in as we speak.

And Mrs. Coleman?

She arrived five minutes ago.
Figured you want to talk to her first.

I have you guys set up in here.
Right this way.

Thank you.

Hi, Mrs. Coleman? I'm Agent Jareau.

No, please sit.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh, you don't need to apologize.

I haven't slept since...

That's understandable.

Mrs. Coleman, when was the last
time you heard from your husband?

Three nights ago.

Is that typical?

He hates being away from us.

We have a rule that he won't spend
more than two nights away on business.

And did he ever break that promise?

Not in 20 years.

At what point did you
realize he was missing?

Not until I woke up and he wasn't there.

I called his cell. Voicemail.

I tried the hotel. They said he was gone.

And that's when you knew
something was wrong.

This coming weekend we were going
to be celebrating our anniversary.

He'd been planning a getaway for months.

There's no way Lance would have missed it.

What have you got, Garcia?

I'm trying to locate
the last ping of Lance's cell phone,

but I can't narrow it down
to an exact tower yet.

How is that possible?

Ping-a-cell 101. If I could
direct your attention to the map.

According to his last ping at 11 p.m.,

the signal was bouncing off
a tower in Benson, Arizona.

But that doesn't fit the timeline.

The security cameras show
him entering the airport at 11:10 p.m.

It doesn't make sense.
What makes even less sense

is that five minutes later,
the signal was bouncing

off a tower in Drexel Heights
50 miles away.

That's impossible.

Yeah, this is what I'm saying.

The signal is tower hopping.
It's giving a false read.

Because the cell tower was full.

Correctamundo.
The signal will automatically

bounce to the next available tower
even if it's out of the city.

That means the UnSub's hunting ground
may be far bigger than we thought.

The brutality the victim
experienced was immense.

He suffered facial fractures,
burns, and extensive bruising.

Have you determined COD?

I haven't finalized my findings,

but preliminarily I'd say
he died from cardiac arrest

induced by electric shock.

Still trying to figure out
what caused these.

Look at him. This is complete overkill.

Well, the fact that the UnSub
is stepping up his method of torture

could mean he's getting frustrated.

It's possible he's ex-military.

It would explain his knowledge
of multiple torture techniques.

Or the guy used Google.

Trust me, I've seen
all sorts of crazy stuff.

Well, that wouldn't be the first time

someone used the Internet
as a killing manual.

Well, typically these type of tactics

are used to get
a confession or information.

Well, what caused these?

It appears at some point
during the torture,

the killer staples his eyelids open.

- Well, that is sadistic.
- It might be symbolic.

The victims could have turned a blind eye
to something that affected the UnSub.

And now he's punishing them for it.

The worst part is, it was done while this
guy was still alive.

This UnSub wanted Steven to
anticipate and witness his own torture.

Open your eyes.

You know where she is.

I swear, I don't know
what you're talking about.

- Tell me.
- Please just let me go.

No! No, please!

I need the location.

Okay. Okay. I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

Focus!

Steve was a good guy.
Hope you find the psycho who did this.

We have every intention.

Have at it.

Let me know if there's
anything else you need.

Thank you.

Well, no signs of a struggle
or forced entry.

The UnSub didn't abduct Steven from here.

According to his supervisor, he was
supposed to start his shift at 3 a.m.

So his drive would have
been about an hour.

The alarm is set for 1:15 a.m.
That's about right.

Single guy.
I'd say 15 minutes, max, to get ready.

Well, he's a security guard.
Which means he wears a uniform every day,

so he wouldn't have to
think about wardrobe choices.

Which puts us at 1:30 a.m.

So he brews a pot of coffee, pours a cup.

Sports fan.
Probably checked last night's scores

before he headed out at 1:45.

Keys are gone.

His car was missing
from his parking stall.

Then the UnSub must have intercepted him

at some point between here and work.

Which begs the question,
what did he do with Steven's car?

According to DMV records,

Steven Jackson drove a '91 Mustang.

Older model, so no GPS.

I went ahead and issued an APB on his car.

Hopefully we get a hit soon.

Hey, baby girl,
you're on speaker, what's up?

Okay, I did some spelunking and found
that after Coleman missed his flight,

he used not his personal
but his company credit card

to foot the bill for a rental car.

Well, it's about an hour and a half drive,

he probably figured he'd make it home
before his wife woke up.

Can you track down the rental car's GPS?

I already meowed up that tree.

It is disabled.

But I am piecing together
the GPS history as we speak.

That's why you're the best, Mama.

Oh, don't I know it.

He could have taken a number of
different routes back to Phoenix.

Highway 77, 87, or 10.

Well, he would have
taken the fastest route back.

That'd be Interstate 10.

Okay, what if he's
abducting them off the road?

This could be about road rage.

A perceived slight while driving
might have made them a target.

An extreme case of road rage that leads
to abduction and murder.

But if that's true,
the victims' cars

would have been abandoned.
Both are still missing.

What if they're carjackings?

Think about it. The UnSub lies in wait,
he blitzes the victim at an intersection,

and then he drives off in their cars.

So these victims weren't targeted,
they were picked at random.

Wrong place, wrong time.

It is possible he used
a similar ruse like Gary Lee Sampson,

who posed as a hitchhiker
and preyed on good Samaritans.

Probably waves down a passing car.

Hi. Hi, sir. Thank you.

I don't mean to...

And appears lost or incoherent.

I had an accident down the road.

I was hoping you could get me
to a phone or something.

Claims his car broke down,
his phone is dead.

He needs directions or a ride.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

And the next thing you know,
you're looking down the barrel of a gun.

And the good deed is punished.

I told you I wouldn't miss it.

Oh, my God! Honey!

Oh, I was so worried! I thought...

Shh.

Everything's going to be all right.

Why didn't you just tell him?

What are you talking about?

You should have given him the location.

You don't have to do this.

Just let me go.

Please, just let me go.

Please.

I have a family. Don't do this to them.

You have children?

Yes.

Yes, my daughter.

She's 12.

Oh, God, please, I'll do anything.

Crime scene techs are done,
the site's ours.

They just made a positive ID.

It's Lance Coleman.

Well, he definitely amped up the torture.

Well, it looks like
this time, the cause of death

was a single gunshot to the head.

We profiled he's a sadist.

He would have
inflicted as much pain as possible,

not end the torture so abruptly.

Well, he decreased the time
he held on to the victims,

but he definitely increased
and accelerated the torture.

Then it's not about pain for the thrill,
he wants something from them.

But if that's true,
maybe Lance gave the UnSub

what he wanted and he was
no longer of use to him.

It's possible Steven's
death was an accident.

Yeah. He died before
the UnSub was finished with him.

We need to deliver the profile.

The unknown subject we're looking for
is a sadistic inquisitor,

which means that he's aroused sexually
and emotionally by causing pain

in the service of eliciting information.

The UnSub gets off on the fact
that his victims put up resistance.

It allows him to push
the torture even further.

We think he's a white male,
in his 30s to early 40s

who's physically
fit enough to subdue male victims.

He's goal-oriented, driven by rage,

which makes him
extremely brutal in his torture methods.

This UnSub exerts
power and control over his victims,

making them feel completely helpless

until they give him
whatever it is he's looking for.

Based upon his systematic torture,

it's possible the UnSub is
suffering from some sort of PTSD.

Given the sheer amount of work and effort

he puts into torturing his victims,

we think there's
a deep-seated personal reason

for what the UnSub is doing.

It's possible he appears
unassuming with limited social skills,

which is why he chooses to hunt at night.

He plays on his victim's
good will and sympathy

before he blitzes them
and abducts them from their vehicles.

Because of the escalating torture,

we believe this UnSub is becoming
both increasingly desperate and volatile.

This UnSub is driven by a compulsion,
a need-based desire.

Because these men are surrogates,
there's a good chance his victims

will never be able to give the UnSub
what he ultimately wants.

Understanding his motivation
will be the key to finding him.

Thank you.

Drink. Drink.

Drink. Drink.

Why are you doing this?

Where's the tattoo?

I don't know what you're talking about.

-Did you burn it off?
-I never had any tattoo.

Please just let me go.

I think you have the wrong person.

You know why you're here.

No, no, no, please don't do this!
Please don't do this!

Please don't do this! No, no, no, no, no!

Ballistics confirm
the gun used to kill Lance

was the same one registered
to Steven Jackson.

I've got men canvassing
gas stations, rest stops,

any place where the UnSub might have

come into contact with the victims.

So far, no solid leads.

Hey, tell me something good, boo.

I managed
to partially piece together

Lance's GPS history,
and I've got him on a route

that takes him right up Interstate 10.

That's the exact same route
the first victim would have taken to work.

Lance Coleman wouldn't
have been on that highway

if he hadn't missed his flight.

So this is where both
victims' paths crossed with the UnSub.

This must be the nexus.

I-10's one of the most
traveled roads in the country.

It stretches from California to Florida.

Highway serial killer's paradise.

Garcia, run our profile
against the HSK database.

Check for any potential
suspects connected specifically to I-10.

I'm on it.

How much are you willing to bet
that whatever that UnSub is looking for

is somehow connected to this highway?

What do you want from me?

I don't know what you think I did.

I can help you. Just...
Just give me a chance.

Unchain me! Now!

Hey, come back here.

I said stop!

Caffeine.

I am a fan. What about it?

You want your victims
to stay awake and alert

for what you're about to do to them.

So you give them caffeine.

Wow, astronomical levels, apparently.

Wait, how did you...

Oh. Yeah, sorry.

Wait, why would he do this again?

Well, there are a variety of reasons.

The caffeine would open up their arteries,

which would increase
their nerve sensitivity,

and in turn, enhance their pain levels.

Sleep deprivation.

So the torture isn't about his anger,

it's a reflection
of what he's going through.

He wants them to stay awake.

You will tell me where she is.

No.

We just received news
of another abduction.

David Whitfield.
Reported missing an hour ago.

His employer confirmed that he clocked out
at 1:30 yesterday morning.

But according to his roommate,
he never made it back home.

Where does he work?

An old auto factory
off Interstate 10 near Canton.

Fits the geographic profile
and the timeline.

This guy has a precise MO.

How much of the Interstate
is isolated enough for an abduction?

A couple of gas stations,
a diner, and a few rest stops.

Nothing really pops out.

Not to mention, there are far more
secluded stretches of Interstate.

Why does he keep coming back
to the same area?

Play it again, Daddy.

Again?

We've been playing it
since we hit the road.

Please? Please?

Okay.

Will you sing with me?

No, honey, you know Daddy can't sing.

You can try. Please? Please?

Hey, Daddy. You're my sunshine.

- Green for go.
- Hey, Mama, listen up.

We need you to focus
on a particular stretch

of Interstate 10
between Chandler and Phoenix.

Look for any accidents
involving male drivers

on that stretch of highway.

Keep it coming.

We know the UnSub's
keeping his victims awake,

so look for any accidents where
the drivers fell asleep at the wheel.

Uh, okay, I am not finding

any sleep-related
incidents within that radius.

We know that the time of
abduction is important to him.

Widen the search to take in any accidents
that occurred between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m.

Despite on the I-10, there's like
an accident every 45 seconds,

-I've got zilch.
-Okay, we know this was

a recent trigger,
so expand your search parameters

to look at incidents
reported within the last few months.

-Huh.
-What did you find?

I don't know if I found anything.

I found a report citing sleep deprivation,

but it's not an accident,
it's a child abduction.

Here we go.

I managed to find the original
police report

from three months ago.

Okay, a 43-year-old William Taylor

was driving I-10 near Chandler, Arizona.

It was late, around 11:30.

He was with his 5-year-old
daughter Tatiana.

They were returning from a dance recital.

It says here, he just worked
a double shift

at the salvage yard which he owns.

He was super sleepy.

He pulled off around
midnight to a rest stop.

He intended to close
his eyes for 10 minutes,

he woke up hours later
and his daughter was missing.

I can't imagine...
A parent's worst nightmare.

There's your trigger.

He's torturing them for answers
about his daughter's abduction.

Yeah, in his mind,
he believes his victims were involved.

Garcia, any viable suspects?

Uh, no, the police canvassed
the whole rest stop,

and they came up empty.
There's still no leads.

Hold on.

According to Taylor,

there was a man
with a skull tattoo on his hand

who knocked on his window
moments after he fell asleep.

The guy told Taylor...

I just wanted to let you know
your taillight is out.

Thanks, thanks, thank you, thank you.

Like you said,
Taylor might have been suffering

from sleep deprivation himself.

It's likely he was in a micro sleep

and he imagined the man
with a skull tattoo.

And like any parent would be,
the UnSub is riddled with guilt.

And in his mind, he wasn't able to
protect her and keep her safe.

And now in his delusional state,

he believes each of his victims
is that man with the skull tattoo.

He's forcing his victims
to take responsibility for his own guilt.

If he hadn't fallen asleep
at that rest stop,

his daughter might still be with him.

So he forces his victims to stay awake

as he wishes he had.

Work and home address just sent.

I'll let Hotch know.

-Where's my daughter?
-I don't know!

-Tell me!
-No, no!

Hey.

Where's your head at right now?

I just don't understand
what happened a week ago

that turned
a grieving father into a killer.

It could have
been the stress from the case.

All the leads went cold
and the guy just snapped.

And the not knowing's the worst part.

Hotch, you're on speaker.

There's something you should know...

The police found Tatiana's body.

Please, don't do this, I'm begging you!

- Where's my daughter?
- No.

William Taylor, step out of the vehicle
with your hands where we can see them.

I got him.
That's the man with the skull tattoo.

He's right there.

That is not him, William.

Damn it, why aren't you listening to me?

That man has my daughter!

-No, he doesn't.
-Yes, he does.

And I'm going to find her

and I'm not going to let him
get away with it again.

All right, William,
William, listen to me, okay?

You and I both know they found Tatiana.

You found my little girl?

Yes, a week ago. William, you were there.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You remember the volunteers,
the search party?

William, think back.

Tatiana's remains were found in the desert
not far from the rest stop.

No, no, no, no. That was not her.

She's still out there.

Think about Tatiana, William.

Think about what she would have wanted.

Hey, Daddy, you're my sunshine.

She's alive, and I'm going to find her.

"Guilt is perhaps the most
painful companion of death."

Coco Chanel.

Oh, sorry.

Wow. Kids really
are game-changers, aren't they?

Yeah, how is it that I wake up

more exhausted than
when I went to bed?

Why don't you try
to get some shut-eye before we land?

Oh, trust me, I've tried,
it's not happening.

Hey, Rossi.

I remember Reid told me once, uh,

I think it was something like this...

Hey, Morgan,

you know electronics
emit a sleep depriving type of blue light

that prevents you from
falling asleep at night.

Yeah, I remember that.

I actually think it was more like, um...

Well, studies show

that we need between
seven and nine hours of sleep a night.

Works like a charm.

Hotch...

What do you think happened
to William's daughter?

Well, the police report assumed

that because he didn't have
child locks on his truck,

that she wandered off
into the desert for some reason.

You know, I saw where they found the body.

There's no way she could have found
her way back to the road.

Well, the way the temperatures
drop in the desert at night,

she didn't stand a chance.

Yeah, but, Hotch,
you should have seen this guy.

I mean, up until the very end,

he was adamant
that a guy with a skull tattoo

abducted his daughter.

Well, the UnSub with a ghost
in his mind is always dangerous.

Unless it wasn't all in his mind.

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI

Ugh, it's really coming down.

Haven't you had enough of that thing?

You know, once we get to grandma's house,
she's going to make you put it away.

Uh-huh.

Well, you better save
some of that battery.

According to the GPS, we have another
two hours ahead of us.

I think we should wait out
the storm until...

Didn't mean to startle.

Just wanted to let you know
your taillight is out.

It is?

Yeah, I was driving behind you
back on the Interstate.

Saw you pull over at the rest stop,

figured I'd give you the heads up.

I appreciate it. Thank you.

You have a good night, ma'am.
