Okay.

It is not just me, right?

- Our girl's got an arm.
- Yeah.

Oh. Just like her dad.

Look at her. We blinked
and four years went by.

So, what do you think?
Should we do this again?

Sounds like a plan.

Who's coming?

What do you think, Katie?

You want a little brother
or sister? Yeah? Well...

the boss has spoken.

Okay. Well, you go get her,

- and I'll go get lunch.
- Okay.

My daughter Molly. She's 6.

She's got braids, yellow sweatshirt.

- What am I gonna do?
- Okay, okay.

Calm down. Braids, yellow sweatshirt.

We were playing hide and seek up here.
She must have gotten lost in the trees.

Oh, God. I'm so stupid.

Tom! Tom!

Shh, shh, shh! Wait.

Did you hear that?
It came from over here.

Molly?

Honey?

Daddy's here.

Molly.

No.

Did you find Molly?

Is she okay?

Mom, wake up.

It's past 10:00.

Damn it.

Why did you let me sleep?

Why don't you get an alarm clock?

- Did you eat?
- Pizza.

- And the baby?
- Pizza. And milk.

Get some sleep, Jay.

Hey, I'll bring you some pancakes.

Yeah. When?

Hey.

Want company?

Hi.

Come in.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Agent Hotchner?
- Yes.

I'm agent Emily Prentiss.

How do you do?

Oh, you're ambassador Prentiss'daughter.

I did security clearances
for your mother's staff.

It was one of my first commands.

I believe you were off
to Brown at the time.

- Actually, it was Yale.
- Ah.

I've been in the bureau
almost 10 years now.

Don't tell me that.
Has it been that long?

Apparently, sir. But I
work mostly in the midwest.

- St. Louis, Chicago.
- Good.

- Your parents well?
- Yeah, yeah, they're great.

Excellent.

What can I do for you?

Well, I guess I was hoping you
could tell me where to put my stuff.

I'm sorry?

I'm supposed to start here

today... at the BAU.

There's been a mistake.

- I don't think so, sir.
- There's definitely been a mistake.

Excuse me. We're getting started.

Thank you. I'll be right there.

I didn't approve this
transfer, agent Prentiss.

I'm sorry for the confusion,
but you've been misinformed.

Excuse me. It's very
good to see you again.

Did you approve any transfer?

N o. I would've discussed it.

That's what I thought. She's got
the paperwork to join the team.

- You want me to make a call?
- No, I'll look into it.

St. Louis is in trouble.

They've got two serial killers.

This killer abducts his victims

from public places,
dumps them in the woods.

They consulted us months
ago after the third murder.

Well, now it might be up to 6.

Ellen Carroll's been
missing since yesterday.

The first two victims
were found near Mill Creek,

- in Mark Twain national forest.
- No wonder it takes days to find the bodies.

The forest is 1.5 million acres

and 78,000 of that is wilderness.

What's the story with these women?

Eight victims. All prostitutes.

Latest is Marci Mitchell.

She was killed last
night with a. 44 magnum.

All are tied to a serial
shooter claiming responsibility.

He's contacted Jim Meyers,

a reporter at the Missouri Herald.

So he's not getting the
attention he thinks he deserves.

He signs it the Hollow Man,
names himself for the press.

Why Hollow Man? What, he feels
empty inside or something?

He uses hollow point bullets.

No one even knew this guy
existed until he sent this letter.

Well, he's killed more victims,
but look who he's chosen.

Hundreds of victims go unnoticed
because they're social outcasts

When Mill Creek kills, the Hollow
Man shoots another prostitute.

So one doesn't want to
be outdone by the other.

Sounds like sibling rivalry to me.

They've been killing independently
of each other for a year now.

With each kill they're
learning something...

from the other.

"No Woman is Safe"

Elbert Hubbert once wrote: "If
men could only know each other,

they would neither idolize nor hate. "

Thank you.

- What's wrong?
- Did you know there are roughly

30 serial killers at large in
the U.S. at any given time?

It's an incredibly rare occurrence to
have them operating in the same city.

- How many times has that happened?
- To my knowledge, three times.

There was a guy killing at the
same time as the Son of Sam.

And then again in New Orleans, and
most recently with the Phoenix murders.

Serial shooters are typically loners.

This guy likes to kill at night.
His victims are prostitutes,

so he may lack confidence with
women or have poor social skills.

There's no rape. The
guy could be impotent.

He's a wannabe tough guy.

It's not hard to be tough holding a. 44.

The gun gives him power and lets
him maintain distance from the kill.

This guy doesn't want to touch
the bodies with his hands.

Mill Creek killer.

Hunts during the day,

targets educated, middle-class women.

He'd have to look and act like they do.

The women died from
blunt force head traumas.

This guy wants to be
close, he wants to feel

the life leave their bodies.

- These guys are polar opposites.
- Just like their victims.

They live in the same city
but they're worlds apart.

I'm gonna see if the shooter's victims
have any families I can talk to.

That's a good idea. I'm already
familiar with the Mill Creek case.

Reid, can you take a look at the
letter for handwriting analysis

and psycho linguistics?

- Of course.
- Looks like I'm with you.

I'll go have a talk with
Ellen Carroll's husband.

I'm meeting Jim Meyers, the
reporter from the Missouri Herald.

Tell him not to write
about the Hollow Man.

If we want to draw the shooter out,

best way to do that is to
act like he doesn't exist.

I'll feel much better
when you find Ellen.

Mr. Carroll, believe me, we are trying.

You know, when you have
kids, you become so...

fixated on where they are
and what they're doing,

you don't think you need
to worry about your spouse.

I understand your wife is
a partner at a law firm.

Now aside from work,
taking care of the family,

does she make time for herself?

She's an avid runner,

participates in the St.
Louis marathon every year.

Is she shy, nervous
about meeting new people?

Ever since we had Katie, I'd
say she's much more trusting.

You don't remember her talking to anyone
you don't know at that playground?

No.

No one.

How did I not see someone take my wife?

Mr. Carroll, the man who did this,

somehow he just fits right in.

He doesn't look or sound
like he doesn't belong.

Oh, hey, little lady.

She keeps asking me

when her mommy's coming home.

I don't know what to say.

I missed you.

You are so beautiful.

Agents Hotchner and Reid, FBI.

- What do you want?
- We'd like to talk to you.

Hold that badge up again.

We're here to talk to
you about Marcie Mitchell.

I'm her mother.

I'm sorry for your loss, ma'am.

- What's this?
- They're for me.

Take your brother inside.

- Is this about mom?
- I said inside.

You gonna judge me or ask questions?

Is there anyone who can
help you with the kids?

Is that what you came here for?

Ma'am, we've just been
assigned your daughter's case.

We're in the process of
gathering information, but so far

no witnesses have come forward.

Well, around here guns go off like
those damn car alarms, every 15 minutes.

Nobody's stupid enough
to talk, nobody cares.

We do.

You wouldn't even be here
if it wasn't for them.

"Heinous crimes against
upstanding members

of the community. "

Nobody writes about
prostitutes being shot

because they won't admit they
think they're cleaning up the place.

You're right.

Cases like your daughter's
usually go unsolved.

The problem is people aren't looking for them
because they don't know that they're missing.

Part of her job was...

to stay below the radar.

Doesn't mean she was any less important.

She made bad choices.

But she was a good person.

She loved those boys.

Whoever shot her should
pay for what they did.

So don't come in here and say you're
sorry. Just do something about it.

We will, Ma'am.

Hi. You must be agent Sheridan?

- Agent jareau.
- Hi.

- Really appreciate you coming so quickly.
- Yeah.

Why don't you set up in here?

Oh, wow. You've got lots of evidence
for the Mill Creek killer case.

What about the Hollow Man?

Right here.

There's been at least eight women shot.

This is all we've got?

You know these cases don't
generate much evidence.

All we have at the scene are
a couple of bullets and...

no one's talking.

- Well, hopefully, we can change that.
- Agent jareau,

there's a reporter here to see you.

- Thank you. Excuse me.
- Sure.

Jim Meyers. Hi.

Agent Jareau. We spoke on the
phone. Thanks for stopping by.

Sure. Here's that letter I faxed to you.

Oh, great.

So, did the Hollow Man
shoot those prostitutes

because I wrote about
the Mill Creek victims?

He would've killed them anyway.

But right now he's
looking for recognition.

That's why he's contacted you.

But I'm not in any danger.

I don't want to be staring
down the barrel of a gun.

Right now he needs you.
You're his only hope

to get on that front page.

I had no idea I could get on a serial
killer's radar by writing about another one.

We're gonna to ask that
you not print anything

relating to the Hollow Man
or the women he's killed.

Don't those victims deserve

just as much ink as those other women?

Of course they do.

But we need the shooter to
keep communicating with you.

And if you satisfy
his need for attention,

he could disappear, and I'm sorry.
We just can't take that chance.

Excuse me, agent Jareau?

We just found Ellen Carroll's body.

Agents Gideon, Morgan,

this is agent Sheridan.

How are you? Forgive the gloves.

How far is the abduction
site from these woods?

About 40 miles or so.

- He tried to hide it pretty well.
- He covers the body very carefully.

Must feel remorse for killing them.

This lipstick's been applied recently.

It's still moist.

Look at her hair. It's been
brushed, put behind her ears.

She was abducted, what, an hour from
here? Dragged through these woods?

Her hair would not look like that.

So he keeps her safe from the elements
and then comes back to the body.

That's why he chooses a secondary
location that's so remote.

- This isn't about remorse.
- No.

He wants to be alone with
her. Needs his privacy.

You never noticed the
hair or the makeup before?

No. Maybe it was the timing.

She was found within 24 hours, and

the others had already
succumbed to the elements.

Sex acts with dead bodies
are rare occurrences.

However, Bundy did it regularly.

So how is this going to
help us to catch him?

Now we know he has a ritual.

He needs to defile the bodies.

Next time we'll be here waiting for him.

"Sixth Victim Falls
to Mill Creek Killer"

We're off-duty just like you.

Two victims at once.
That's a first for him.

You think he went out looking to kill more
than one woman or is it just happenstance?

He chose a different hunting ground.

Yes, we're in an alley, but
we're behind an expensive hotel

in a nice neighborhood. You get
a different class of prostitute,

ones that don't walk the street alone.

- He was looking for a challenge.
- Question is,

what gave him the confidence to
stray out of his comfort zone?

- Make sure to run that for prints.
- He displayed the newspaper between them.

He took the time when he
could've just tossed it aside.

It's deliberate. He wants
us to know he's angry.

Angry enough to change his M.O.

I heard there was a double
homicide this morning.

Was it Hollow Man?

- Agents are confirming that now.
- If I'd written about him.

There's no guarantee that
he would've stopped killing

if you would've given into his demands.

In fact, media attention
could've fueled him to kill more.

We don't know that for sure. This is
all just a guessing game, isn't it?

No.

It's behavioral analysis.

We're dealing with an offender
who believes that murdering people

is a good way to become famous.

All I know is you told me to
ignore him and he takes 2 lives.

If I dismiss this double
homicide, what happens tomorrow?

We won't know until then.

Too bad we couldn't trace
any prints from the newspaper.

What have you got?

he only sent this to an individual,
which shows he's not confident enough

to initiate contact with the masses.

Emotional indicators are
analyzed through slants.

The shooter maintains vertical,
narrow-lettered writing,

both signs of repression.

And the pressure, if you look
closely, is excessively heavy,

which shows that he's uptight
and can easily overreact.

You got all that from his handwriting?

Graphology is an effective and reliable
indicator of personality and behavior.

- My writing's always different.
- That's because it symbolizes your emotions

at that given time, just
like your facial expressions

parallel the way you're
feeling while you're speaking.

I'm surprised this
guy writes in cursive.

His message is so clear. I would've
thought he'd print everything.

Actually, his connected writing
shows that he deals with problems

in a practical and direct manner.

- Like shooting someone.
- Exactly.

The Hollow Man uses simple
statements, all first person.

For example: "I won't be ignored. "

He's obviously tired
of feeling this way.

It's quite possible he
has a job in solitude

or one that he feels
strips him of his identity.

His job might require
him to wear a uniform,

something that shows
absolutely no individuality.

Or he may be overqualified
for his menial job

and feels that he doesn't get the
respect that he necessarily deserves.

But today he's killed two women,

which tells us he's growing confident.

This makes him
unpredictable and dangerous.

And because he has no physical
contact with his victims,

it's going to make him
that much harder to catch.

We have more information
on the Mill Creek killer

because he spends a lot of
time with his victims before

and after his kills.

Because his victims willingly
follow him in broad daylight,

he appears harmless.
He's most likely handsome.

- Handsome?
- Yes.

These women wouldn't follow an
unattractive man. They just wouldn't.

He's handsome, and he's got the
socials kills to trick his victims.

Those who know him well, they'd be shocked
to learn that he's the man that we're after.

He's been able to get his
victims away from family, friends.

Obviously, this makes him feel powerful.

If this guy is so smart, why
would he risk driving his victims

from the abduction site to the woods?

Because of the ritual.

It's become the most
important thing to him.

Dominates his thoughts.

Woods provide the privacy he needs.

The Hollow Man is motivated
by external pressures.

This is a guy who
simply wants attention.

The Mill Creek killer, on the other
hand, he's driven by internal forces.

He's a sexually motivated offender.

This makes him a lot more predictable
but don't think for a second

it makes him any easier to catch.

Where are you?

Excuse me.

Meredith Dale. 25.

She was supposed to meet her friend
for a bike ride but disappeared.

- Disappeared when?
- An hour ago.

- How can we be sure it's him?
- Well, look at her.

She's his type physically,
she vanishes into thin air.

It's got the Mill
Creek's M.O. all over it.

I'll set up road blocks
in and out of the forest.

Well, based on the other timelines,

we have to assume he's
hiding her body right now.

Best chance of catching him is find
Meredith Dale's body and sit tight.

We know he'll be back.

I'm going to need you to
step out of your vehicle.

- What's going on here, officer?
- Just routine check.

Can you open your back?

Yeah, sure.

Many people come through here today?

- What are you doing up here?
- Went for a hike.

No water, no supplies?

My boots are all I need.

That it?

- That's it.
- Okay.

What if these dump sites aren't random?

The bodies were scattered all over.

Look at this.

- There's no pattern.
- No, I see that,

but we're talking about a
lot of area to cover here.

He had to have some kind of
plan going into these woods.

Must have done his homework.

Okay. The first body was
found deep into the woods.

That's a three-hour
car ride from the city.

The first time,

he's more careful in disposing of her.

Her body was discovered by a forest
ranger five days after the abduction.

And all the other victims, look at this,

they follow the same pattern.

What are you saying? You
think he works up there?

He might.

All I do know for sure is that he has
to be familiar enough with these woods

to know when a ranger is on duty.

He knew precisely when and
where to drop the bodies.

Now that is an awesome
place to dump a person.

- Come on, Garcia.
- What? I'm just saying, angel fish.

A million acres converts into over 2,300

square miles to cover.

- Evil knew what he was doing.
- Yeah? Well, now so do we.

Talk to me.

How's the ranger schedule break down?

Okay.

The national forest is divided
into 6 ranger districts,

which are patrolled
every 3 to 5 days. Now,

the Potosi-Fredricktown area
must be where he's headed to next

because the rangers were
just there yesterday,

which means they're not
scheduled to revisit it

for at least another 3 days.

And look at that,

it's the district closest to the city.

Well, that makes sense. He's in a hurry.

He wants to get in and out of
there without a lot of trouble.

Which area has the easiest
access to the main road?

That would be...

Saltgrass Cove.

Saltgrass Cove.

Yep. He'd have plenty
of time to revisit her.

What?

Forget. No, no. I don't
want to know that. Bye-bye.

Think I know where
he took Meredith Dale.

Brownie, come here.

Damn it.

Please, please.

Everything needs to look
the same as when he left it.

He'll come back.

He needs to see Meredith again.

This bastard has killed
seven women on my watch.

- Comb the scene!
- No, no. Please, please!

Stop!

Let's clear the immediate area.

Post yourselves along the perimeter.

It's imperative that
you become invisible.

He set his own trap.

What we need to do now is...

stake out in the woods and hunt him,

just like he does his victims.

That's got to be him.

FBI! Stay down! Hands
where I can see them.

Okay, okay. Just take it easy.

Jim Meyers. What the hell?

- You're the Mill Creek killer?
- What? No.

Then how the hell did you get here?

I got another letter
from the Hollow Man.

Telling you exactly where
to find Meredith Dale?

I swear. You can read it.

"Follow the cottonwood trail
through Saltgrass Cove. "

Wait a minute. We just
figured this out ourselves.

How can another killer
know the specifics

about someone else's dumpsite?

- What's going on?
- It's going to be all over the news.

Look like the Hollow Man didn't
give you the exclusive this time.

So our plan to catch the Mill Creek
killer was ruined by the Hollow Man?

And now the Hollow Man's on a high.

He hasn't pulled the trigger since
he took two victims yesterday.

Is he satisfied or is
he just getting started?

We'll find out.

"Hollow Man helps FBI find the
Mill Creek killer's victim. "

Nice. He's alerted the media

and injected himself
into the investigation.

He's getting the attention
he's been craving.

But if the shooter really wants
to get the other guy arrested,

he would've called us and not the media.

He must know the Mill Creek
killer needs to revisit the body.

If he can't defile the woman again,

it'll become so strong, it
could push him into a frenzy.

And if that happens, this guy is
just a time bomb waiting to explode.

Excuse me.

Hi. Look, I'm having a day.

My car won't start
and I forgot my phone.

Could I use yours to make a call?

Yeah.

Okay. I know it's here. I just used it.

What, you know what? Forget the phone.

Maybe it'll start for you.

Walk with me. It's
right around the corner.

No, that's ok.

- No, come on.
- No. No!

- Walk with me.
- Let go off me! Let me go!

Help! Help!

Somebody! Somebody!

Help, please!

Somebody! Please!

- At first he seemed so normal.
- Was he handsome?

- Excuse me?
- Was he handsome?

Yeah. He was.

Actually, that's why I stopped.

When did his demeanor change?

After I refused to go to his car.

He grabbed my arm so hard I
thought that it would break.

I've been watching the news about
all these women being abducted,

and I just started screaming.

You trusted your instincts.

Because of that, you're still alive.

Miss, there's a sketch
artist here with us.

He can create a pretty accurate rendition
from your description of this man.

- Would you sit with him?
- Absolutely.

Officer.

- I'm glad you're all right.
- Thank you.

He's becoming irrational
and violent in public.

That's exactly what the
Hollow Man wanted him to do.

Well, if he doesn't find a victim
soon, he'll become more dangerous.

How's that possible?

He'll drop the ruse entirely and
just start grabbing women at random.

Great. Thanks, Morgan.

The witness got a good look
at the Mill Creek killer.

You know, if it's the Hollow Man's
intention to force him into a frenzy,

he's getting what he wants.

He knew exactly where to
find meredith dale's body.

He figured out the route to the
dump site the same way we did.

They always say serial killers
make the best profilers.

Yeah, but this guy's dead-on.

Yeah. The headline doesn't
mention the shooter at all.

We talked to Jim Meyers, the reporter,
asked him not to respond to the letter,

he doesn't, and then the guy goes
out and shoots two more women.

- In a better part of town.
- What gives him this confidence?

And what's the significance
of the paper at the scene?

We know he wants to be newsworthy.
He could've just tossed it aside.

Instead, he displayed it.

There's something he
wants us to look at.

There's definitely
something in the paper.

I figured it out.

What is it?

They're talking in the classifieds.

Classifieds, code names.

This feels like an old spy movie.

It's low-tech, simple,
but very effective.

They've been doing this for
months, and nobody ever knew it.

This is the first one that I found. The
references are what made me suspicious.

"Sunny, are you an artist too?

I'd love to see your
work sometime. Holden. "

Sunny?

Holden?

They're characters
from Catcher in the Rye.

Widely accepted as a
loved book of sociopaths.

Mark David Chapman quoted
it after killing John Lennon.

Deranged minds identify with
Holden's alienation and detachment.

I found the initial contact.

It ran in the paper
unchanged for months.

"We have different tastes, but I
can appreciate your art. Sunny. "

Sunny's the Hollow Man.
He initiated contact.

- What's he getting out of it?
- A mentor.

Offered admiration and respect.

In return, he gains
encouragement and confidence.

But when the Hollow Man
remained unnoticed by the press,

he resented his mentor

- and turned it into a rivalry.
- Hollow man became jealous.

They were both killers, but they
weren't seen in the same playing field.

What else did you find?

"An overwhelming area
and you never get lost?"

Then the answer to this question.

"I do my research.

It's not so random
when you know the area.

I like cotton wood in SGC."

SGC? He's talking about Saltgrass Cove.

He told him how to find Meredith Dale.

Why?

Teaching his student a lesson.

We understand their relationship.

Let's use it against them.

Hey, sweetness. Make me smile

- and tell me you got a name.
- Oh, I got scads of them, babe,

but none paid for these personal ads.

They went with cash, totally old school.

I hate it when they're smart. Two
separate accounts in good standing.

Well, these guys are good. Thanks.

Garcia says they covered their
tracks. How's it going in here?

Reid's imitating the Hollow Man's
language patterns to send a message

to the Mill Creek killer. He's offering
condolences on losing Meredith Dale.

If he can't get to Meredith
Dale, he's gonna need a body.

He's gonna need it real soon.

You guys worried that the hollow
man's going to ruin our plan again?

He wants the Mill Creek
killer to get caught.

The pupil's trying to kill the teacher?

Hope you're close, Reid.

You got less than an
hour to meet the deadline.

You'll be surrounded.

Need you to relax... as best as you can.

This guy's going to
want to get close to you,

and he's going to want to examine you.

He's going to want to touch me?

Since you're a gift,
not a marked victim,

he might try to make you his own. But
we're not going to let him get that far.

We need him to get close
to confirm he's the killer.

There's nothing normal
about this guy. Nothing.

You have any questions?

Let's do this.

Okay. Down you go.

Close your eyes.

Try to relax.

What do you think? Did it
sound like the Hollow Man?

Hopefully the Mill
Creek killer will buy it.

"Dear Holden,

they say imitation is the
highest form of flattery.

Since you were almost in harm's way,

I thought I'd share some art.

Should make you feel better.

Here's my gift to you. Sunny. "

Hello.

FBI! Get down!

Stay down!

One down, one to go.

Let's stop right here.

It's going to be tough to
push through this crowd.

That's the idea.

I'm getting out. Secure
a path to the door.

Everyone, take a step back.

Get back!

What do you have to say to the
families of the women you killed?

Do you have any remorse
for what you've done?

- You're going to hell.
- You deserve to die!

I've alerted all news outlets that we'll
be holding a press conference in 10 minutes.

- And you have the script?
- Right here.

Be sure to say exactly those words.

- The wording's important, JJ.
- Relax.

- It's not my first party, boys.
- Gideon, we don't have much on mill creek,

especially if he says
he stumbled on the body.

So what are we going to do?

I'll go try and do my job.

Okay. Thanks.

You comfortable?

As comfortable as anyone
can be in handcuffs.

Let me see.

I'm Jason Gideon.

You know, I don't know your name or...

where you're from...

the only thing we do know is

you're an intelligent, good-looking
man with an inflated ego

who happens to like killing women.

Well, you had me till that last part...

agent Gideon.

Imagine how shocked I am,

considering I haven't done anything.

I see a woman who I think is in
distress in the woods and I get...

pounced on.

FBI wants to interview you.

Talk about your work.

We never believed we'd
have you in custody.

I mean, definitely thought the
Hollow Man would be easier to catch.

Is that upsetting?

I thought the two of you were friends,
that you admired each other's work and...

I don't know the Hollow Man.

But if I did, I'd say he
sounds like an obsessed fan.

Is that how you see yourself, as...

somebody famous?

Well, from what I've read
about the Mill Creek killer,

I'd say he's an artist.

Fascination wasn't
completely one-sided.

You did respond to his ads in the paper.

No one can respect what
the Hollow Man has done.

He's got no imagination.

But he's smart.

Found Meredith Dale's body,

even told the media about it.

Whoever taught him,
taught him very well.

That's very true.

It just sounds like the
student turns on the teacher.

No, no. He was protecting him.

Is that what you think
the Hollow Man was doing?

What else could it be?

Manipulating you,

gaining your trust.

When he got it, the
Hollow Man set you up.

You were front page news.

Now you'll be a footnote.

Hollow Man's out there, you're
in here. It's all because of him.

Is that what you want?

You want me to get angry
to help you catch him?

That is not your problem, sir.

Then what do you want?

I have just have one question.

If killing those women
made you an artist,

the things you did to them
after they were dead...

what does that make you?

I mean, really it...

it just doesn't seem
very artistic, does it?

You went back,

you fix their make-up,
you'd comb their hair.

And you visited them...

over and over

- and over.
- I didn't do that.

If you thought you were famous before,

wait until the press gets a hold of your

- details of your visit.
- you shut your mouth. Shut your mouth.

You expect me to believe that
you only killed those women?

That it wasn't you who
kept visiting the corpses?

We found lipstick in your
hand when we caught you.

You will not tell anyone that.

- Excuse me?
- I said you can never say that.

- You didn't visit the corpses?
- No.

- No, you just killed them.
- Yes.

Yes. I killed them.

But...

but you can't tell anyone...

that I went back.

You can't... do that.

The women of St. Louis
can rest easy tonight...

after a long year,

the Mill Creek killer is in custody.

This man is highly intelligent

and he uses a sophisticated ruse

when luring these
women in public places.

The mill creek killer is someone
the BAU will want to study

as one of the most complex criminals

we've dealt with in years.

- Questions?
- Right here.

- Yes?
- What's the FBI doing

about the other serial killer?

We have new information about that case.

We no longer believe the
shootings are related.

- Yes?
- What's the new information?

We believe they are isolated incidents,

and we're looking into the possibility

that the last two were copycats.

Jim Meyers?

Are you referring to the killer
who calls himself the Hollow Man?

We believe the person
who wrote that letter

is nothing but a street thug.

We have evidence that indicates

that the letter was just a prank

to throw us off the investigation
of the Mill Creek killer.

This is no longer a BAU case.

It lacks a certain sophistication,

class, there's just
nothing elegant about it.

That's all the questions
we'll take for now. Thank you.

Well, we set the bait,
we'll see if he takes it.

Place your coins, keys,
belts in the basket.

Walk this way.

Walk this way.

Step to the side, please.

Extend your arms.

Stay down.

Give me your weapon,

now.

Get up.

Where is he? I want
to see him right now.

You tell him the Hollow Man's here.

He told you to say those
things about me, didn't he?

He told you to use those words.

Get him out of here.

I'm no less elegant than
he is. I'm no copycat.

- Shut your mouth.
- I left you the newspaper!

I gave you the Mill Creek killer!

- What else do I have to do?
- Go! Get him out of here!

This is the story for tomorrow.

"they were our daughters,
sisters, brothers, and friends. "

they have every right
to be remembered...

and memorialized.

they didn't mention the shooter.

He was a nobody who wanted to
be somebody by killing people

and they didn't give him that.

Good.

Mahatma gandhi once said:

"remember that all through history
there have been tyrants and murderers

and for a time they seem invincible...

but in the end, they always fall.

Always. "

please tell me you haven't been
there for the last four days.

I heard you were flying back tonight.

Heard? How could you have
heard a thing like that?

This was dropped off today.

I appreciate your
interest, agent, but...

profiling is a specialty.

We can't just let anyone
who wants to give it a whirl.

The I-80 killer? Coeds in indiana?

Yes, I read it on the plane.

They aren't blitz attacks.

This guy's organized.

He's a white male, early
30s, and a smooth talker,

because even after 11
victims, he can still convince

educated women who know
there's a predator out there

to get into his car.

How would you advise the police?

I would stake out the Ranch House,

a night club in gary. They
have a very popular ladies night

on thursdays.

If you look closely, you'll
see that 8 out of the 11 victims

went missing on a friday morning.

So something gets this creep's
motor running on thursdays.

This isn't a whirl, agent Hotchner.

I don't know how the
paperwork got screwed up

or maybe you believe my
parents pulled some strings,

which they didn't, by the way.

I belong in this unit.

And all I'm asking you for

is the chance to show you that.

I still need to look into this.
I'm not promising anything.

Understood.

We brief new cases every
morning at 10:00 am.

You can see facilities
management about a desk.

You won't be sorry.
