honey?! daddy's here. molly. no. did you find molly is she ok? aah! [chatter in background] mommy, wake up. it's past 10:00. [groans] ah! 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. [sirens in background] [video game sounds] get some sleep, jay. hey, i'll bring you some pancakes. yeah. when? [sirens in background] hi. want company? hi. [gunshots] [knock on door] come in. hi. agent hotchner? 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? uh, 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. [knock on door] 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. uhh... jason... did you approve any transfer? no. 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 make it. st. louis is in trouble. they've got 2 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 2 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? 8 victims. all prostitutes. latest is marci mitchell. 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 feel 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. hundre of victims go unnoticed because they're social outcasts and never make the front page. 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. each kill they're learning something... captioning made possible by touchstone television productions, llc and cbs melodic, calm music. we said goodbye the day. and to the city. and drifted off into the twilight. and when we woke, we found that the whole world had reinvented itself. sail with princess cruises the best cruise line in europe. i am never getting married. we're never having kids. mmm-mmm. we are never moving to the suburbs. we are never having another kid. i'm pregnant. i am never letting go. [attendant over pa system] welcome aboard folks... just go ahead and take any empty seat you see. [coughing and sneezing] i hope it's not contagious. [playing flute] so i do have it. [music stops abruptly] when your mom wakes up, can you ll her about me? jason: elbert hubbert once wrote, "if men could only know each other, they would neither idolize nor hate." 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? 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 nht. his victims are prostitutes, so he may lack confidence with women or have poor social skills. 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 let's him maintain distance from the ll. 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 die 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. i'll go ahead and talk with ellen carroll's husband. i'm meeting jim meyers, the reporter from the missouri herald. well, 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'd 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, he doesn't look or sound like he doesn't belong. oh, hey, little lady. hey. she keeps asking me, when her mommy's coming home. [sighs] i don't know what to say. i missed you. ohh. you are so beautiful. agents hotchner and reid, fbi. what do you want? wed like to talk to you. 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. [baby crying] [sirens in background] 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. body's stupid enough to talk, nobody cares. we do. "heinous crimes agnst 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 e 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. [baby crying in background] 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. right here. heh. there's been at least 8 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. hi. 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 mean, 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. you know, i had no idea i could get on a serial killer's radar by writing about another one. we're going to ask that you not print anything relating to the hollow man or the women he's killed. 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. [birds chirping] agents gideon, morgan, this iagent sheridan. how are you? forgive me. 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 recely. 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 for the body. that's why he chooses a secondary location that's so remote. no. he wants to be alone with her. needs his privacy. yonever noticed the hair or the makeup before? no. maybe it was the timing. she was found within 24 hours, and the others had already succumbeto the elements. sex acts with dead bodies are rare occurrences. however, bundy did it regularly. so how is this gointo 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. we're off-duty just like yo during last year's super bowl, an estimated one billion chicken wings were consumed... 100 million pounds of avocados... and a gazillion deli platters. this year... the game is changing. good morning super bowl 50 all day breakfast is here. feel a cold coming on?

at enterprise, we guarantee it. head to your neighborhood enterprise car sales and let the people who buy more vehicles than anyone... change your thinking about buying your next one. 2 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. 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 that 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? uh...he only sent this to an individual, which shows '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? of personality and behavior. my writing's always different. that's because it expresses 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 dealswith 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 fling this way. it's quite possible he's got a job in solitude or one that he feels strips him of his identity. hijob 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 2 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 a a after his kills. 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 social skills 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 powful. 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. bullets 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. now, this makes him a lot more predictable but don't think for a second it makes him any easier to catch. hey. where are you? ok. bye. ahem. 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 cnce 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, offir? just routine check. can you open your back what are you doing up here? nt for a hike. no water, no supplies? my boots are all i need. that it? that's it. ok. what if these dumpsites aren't random? the bodies were scattered all over. look at this. ere's no pattern. no, i see th, 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. ok. the first body was found deep into t woods. that's a 3-hour car ride from the city. the first time, he's more careful in disposing of her. her body was disvered by a forest ranger 5 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 forure 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,300 square miles to cover. evil knew what he s doing. yeah? well, now so do we. talk to me. how's the ranger schedule break down? ok. the national forest is divided into ranger districts, which are patrolled every 3 to 5 days. now, the potosi-fredrick townrea 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 athat, it's the district closest to the city. well, that makes sense. '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? no, no. i don't want to know that. bye-bye. brownie, come here. damn it. pleaseplease. 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 7 women on my watch. comb the scene! oh, 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, everyone's lookin' red carpet ready. my man, lemme guess who you're wearing... toenail fungus!? whaaat?!? fight it! with jublia. jublia is a prescription medicine... ...used to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. jublia is workin' it! most common side effects include... ..ngrown toenail,application site redness,... ...itching, swelling, burning... ...or stinging, blisters, and pain. oh!! fight it! with jublia! now that's a red carpet moment! visit our website for savings on larger size. eat up, buddy. you'll get it this time. yeah ok not too quick don't let go until i say so. i got you... start strong with the lasting energy of 100% you're doing it! whole grain quaker oats. and off you go. sfx: ziploc bag opening sfx: ambient office sounds, a phone rings, laughter life makes you deal with things far outside your job description. sc johnson when you order now you get a free pizza after super bowl 50! free pizza? we get it after the super bowl. order now through super bowl sunday at papajohns.com and get a free pizza starting mony. use promo code superbowl50. you both have a perfect driving record. no tickets. no accidents... >>that is until one of you clips a food truck, ruining your perfect record. >>yup... now, you would think your insurance company would cut you some slack, right? >>no. your insurance rates go through the roof. your perfect record doesn't get you anything. >>anything. perfect! for drivers with accident forgiveness, libertmutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. and if you do have an accident, our claim centers are available to assist you 24/7. for a free quote, call liberty mutual at switch to liberty mutual and you could save up to $509 see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. that's got to be him. fbi! stay down! hands where i can see them. man: ok, ok. 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? "follow the cottonwood trail throug saltgrass cove." wait a minute. we just figured this out ourselves. how can another killer know the specifics about someone else's dumpsite? [helicopter] what's going on? it's going to be all over the news. looks like thhollow 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 2 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 her 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 agn, the need'll become so strong, it could push him into a frenzy. 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. ok. i know it's here. i just ud 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 of me! now! let me go! help! help! shh! 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. 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 tt, you're still alive. miss, there's a sketch artist here with us. he can create a prty accurate rendition from your description of this man. would you sit with him? absolutely. sir? i'm glad you're all right. thank you. well, he's becoming irrational and violent in public. that's exactly what the hollow man wanted him to do. ll, 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, man. the witness got a good look at the mill creek killer. you know, if it' 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. 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 2 more women. in a better part of town. what gives him this confidence? 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 think i figured it out. what is it? they're talking. choose it, chop it, blend it, sear it, roast it, roast it, slice it. new hand-carved roasted sirloin. tender, juicy, sliced and sauced... perfectly paired, perfectly served... and for a limited time, starting at just $10.99?! love it, love it, love it... uncap a moment of bliss with new blistex soft & lush . creamy, rich, ceramide-enhanced conditioners soften lips, leaving them smooth as can be. new soft & lush . there's no bliss like blistex . floyd doesn't believe he can get his taxes done for nothing. so we brought in dr. kaku to explain what we mean by nothing. it means it's free you say avocado old el paso says... zesty chicken and avocado tacos in our stand 'n stuff tortillas . (record scratch) you say stand n' stuff tortillas old el paso says... start somewhere fresh classifieds, code names. this feels like an old spy movie. it's low-tech, simple, but very effective. th've been doing this for months, and nobody ever knew it. 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 mindsdentify 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. sgc? he's talking about saltgrass cove. he told him how to find mereth 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. 2 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. well, if he can't get to meredith dale, he's gonna need a bodyhe'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. e pupil's trying to kill the teacher? [door opens] hope you're close, reid. you'll be surrounded. need you to relax... as best you can. this guy's going to want to get cse 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 at 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. ok. down you go. close your eyes. thank you. what do you think? did it sound like the hollow man? "dear holden, they say imitation "is the highest form of flattery. "since you were almost inarm's way, "i thought i'd share some art. should make you feel bette sunny." hello. fbi! get down! stay down! yeah, i'm married. does it matter? you'd do that for me? really? yeah i'd like that. who are you talking to? uh, it's jake from state farm. sounds like a really good deal. jake from state farm, at three in the morning? who is this? it's jake from state farm. what are you wearing jake from state farm? uh, khakis. she sounds hideous. well, she's a guy so... another reason more people stay with state farm. get to a better state. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damage that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common, or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sor, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruing, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. enbrel, the number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. when you order now you get a free pizza aft super bowl 50! we get it after the super bowl. order now through super bowl sunday at papajohns.com and get a free pizza starting monday. use promo code superbowl50. papa john's.com. visit a place where siblings become friends, parents become kids, grandfathers become wizards, family time becomes playtime, little ones become big stars, and neighbors become family. great wolf lodge indoor water park resort. everybody in. visit eatwolf.com to get the best deals on your family getaway.

[whispers] he's got no imanation. but he's smart. found meredith dale's body, even told the media about it. whver taught him, taught him very well. [chuckles] that's very true. it just sounds like the student turns on the teacher. no, no. he was protecng him. is that what you think the hollow man was doing? well, what else could it be? manipulating you, gaining your trust. when he got it, the hollow man set you up. now you'd 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 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 tha if you thought you were famous before, wait until the press gets a hold of you-- you shut your mouth. details of your visit. shut your mouth. i never went back. you expect me to believe that you only kill those women? that it wasn't you who kept visiting the corpses? we found lipstick in your hand when we caught you. excuse me? i said you can never say that. you didn't visit the corpses? no. no, you just killed them. yes. yeah. 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 long year, the mill creek killer is in custody. this man is highly intelligent and he uses a sophisticated rouse 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? yes? what's the fbi doing about the other serial killer? we he 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 2 were copycats. jim meyers? are you referring to the killer who calls himself the hollow man? 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 l the questions we'll take for now. thank you. well, we set the bait, we'll see if he takes it. [indistinct chatter] place your coins, keys, belts in the basket. walk this way. walk this way. [alarm sounding] whoa. step to the side, please. [buzzes] uhh! stay down. drop your weapon right now. get up. where is he? i want to see him right now. you tell him the hollow man's here. take it easy. nobody needs to get hurt. he told you to say those things about me, didn't he? he told you to use those words. aah! get him out of here. 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. i wish i... "they were our daughters, sisters, brothers, and friends." i wish i... they have every right to be remembered... and memorialized. there are none who live dowown... he was a nobody who wanted to be somebody by killing people and they didn't give him that. good. mahatma gandhi oe said, "remember that all through history there have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible..." like ancient bruises... "but in the end, they aays fall. always." i'm awake to feel... please tell me you haven't been there for the last 4 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? co-eds 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, 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 rah 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 friy 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, the way. i belong in this unit. and all i'm asking you for is the chance to show you that. i still need toook 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. captioning made possible by touchstone television productions, llc and cbs captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- captioning made possible by touchstone television productions, llc and cbs
