Ray
Yeah.
It's conforming.
It's not conforming.
It's saying you own me.
That's an old-fashioned way
of looking at things.
I don't want to be
a possession.
Marriage is about
Love and commitment,
not possession, baby.
Don't you want kids,
Sunday dinners?
I like Sunday dinners.
Tying the knot would guarantee me
front-row seats
to the movie of your life.
Don't you
want someone to
Change your diapers
when you get old?
Baby,
if I ever need diapers,
you just take me
right out back and shoot me.
Don't do it, son.
What are you saying?
Marriage.
Ruin your life.
Why don't you
ring these up.
You get married,
the romance fizzles,
your girl gets fat.
Next thing you know
you're lying on the couch
wondering how come
you don't have a bed.
Marriage is overrated.
Marriage is overrated.
How's it going, stranger?
Oh, I'm a little tired.
I went Salsa dancing last night.
Oh, my God, like I need
another reason to find you amazing.
This call for you
from Sean McAllister
came to my phone
accidentally.
He sounded very hot
and very important.
Did he leave a message?
No.
But it's from Paris.
A Scottish guy
calling from Paris.
Know this, Emily--
even if he is ugly,
Scottish guys are hot.
It's the accent.
I'll keep that in mind.
So what's the skinny?
Is he an ex?
International *** call?
No.
He's a friend.
Where's Seaver?
She had to take a test
at the Academy.
I know we've all
seen the news.
Mass *** in
Miles City, Montana.
at a gas station.
- Robbery?
- No apparent motive.
Any security
footage?
No.
No cameras,
no witnesses,
ballistics say we're
looking at two shooters.
Well, something at the station must
have triggered them.
It doesn't look like
they had much of a plan.
And it may happen again.
Spree killers often
repeat themselves.
We did it, baby.
Mmm.
We did it.
Mmm
Aah!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
That was awesome.
I love you, Ray.
Love you, too, Syd.
Original Air Date on January 26, 2011
Friedrich Nietzsche wrote,
"what really raises
one's indignation against suffering
"is not suffering
intrinsically,
but the senselessness
of suffering.
"
I'm sorry to reroute you
to Billings,
but last night,
this went down.
Have you released
a statement to the press?
No, but it's already
hit the air.
Where's the car
they dumped?
It's over there.
Agents are searching it now.
One of the vics said
the shooters
were a male
and a female.
How many people
were murdered here?
we're up to 14.
Male-female teams are usually
committed to pleasing each other,
both mentally
and physically.
These guys
are thrill killers.
They're aroused by
the adrenaline rush.
So they're not gonna stop
until we catch them.
So this
is just foreplay.
What's the news saying about us now?
They know we're
male and female.
How did
they figure that out?
I don't know.
There was nothing girly
about the way
we killed those people.
Where do you want
to live, Ray?
I told you--Aruba.
Right on the ocean.
I like the ocean.
So how do you want to spend
the rest of our honeymoon?
Exactly the same way that
we spent the last 12 months.
Till death do
us part.
Nothing's gonna
happen to us, Syd.
I mean, I've seen dead bodies before,
but this is insane.
They're like
Bonnie and Clyde.
They smashed
one guy's vertebrae so bad,
it looked like
a derailed train.
Extreme brutality
to this degree
is what's known as
an obliteration attack.
The unsub wants to completely
erase these victims from existence.
Both of the vics were shot
at point blank range.
What made those?
That was a crowbar.
Uhh!
Whew! Baby!
Ray, I'm hungry.
The unsubs are becoming
more and more confident,
which means their weapons
are becoming more and more personal.
The excitement
of the brutality
allows them to overcome
their human inhibitions.
Why is this one covered?
It's the store clerk.
Guy got it pretty bad.
In medieval times, it would
just be another Monday.
He was sodomized
with a tire iron.
That kind of overkill
suggests
he was the root
of their aggression.
Maybe they're zeroing in
on what's really *** them off.
They took the store owner
in the back.
Aah!
They got the schoolteacher
over here.
The kid over here
thought he was safe.
Why chain them in?
They thrive on
sadistic power.
There's rice
all over the floor.
Bullet probably
hit a box.
I take it
this is the food aisle.
I don't see rice for sale
anywhere on these shelves.
Who comes to a gas station
throwing rice?
Ok, I checked
surrounding areas.
for marriage licenses
in Montana
in the last 3 days.
Any of them
have records?
the rest are clean.
All right.
Send over all the names
of the suspects with their ages, Garcia.
Lover, they're all ready sent.
Check your phones.
So you think
they're newlyweds?
Well, there was rice
all over the crime scene,
and a bunch of alcohol
was missing from the store.
So they're on
their honeymoon.
What did you find out
from the M.
E.
?
Overkill on the store clerk
and sodomy--object penetration.
Garcia, last 30 days, check
any store clerks killed
in the states
east of Montana.
Wow.
Uh, there was
a savagely beaten store clerk
outside Jamestown
at the beginning of the month,
and then another one
And that's probably
where they started.
Thanks, Garcia.
Mmm.
Hey, there.
Are you drinking
all alone tonight, honey?
My company's
a little busy.
My name's Ray.
- Hi, Ray.
- Hi, Ray.
I just got married.
And I'm an alcoholic.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
I'm just passing
through town
and I wanted
to stop and share
because I partied
last night.
What do you think
made you drink?
Come on.
I was celebrating with my lady.
That's a big rock you got
on your finger there.
I like things big.
I bet you do.
Mmm.
Well, I've been drinking
my whole life.
I started when I was 8.
My father was
an alcoholic.
It tastes like
Grape kool-aid.
Oh, I like kool-aid.
Whiskey and bourbon
Were his choice.
After he got his glass,
he's come and he'd tuck me in.
First, he'd ask me
about my day.
Then he'd, uh, he'd move
his hands up my leg.
Told me everything
was gonna be ok.
It was never ok.
I'll let you have a taste.
Oh, you got a deal.
I'd just bury my head into my pillow
and wait until it was over.
And when he was done,
I'd just lie there quietly.
Ohh!
It's nice of you
to share with us, Ray.
What step
have you gotten to?
The same age I was
when he did that to me.
Well, it's time
for you to do 8 and 9.
Have you admitted
your shortcomings?
This wasn't my fault.
But you've let
this one incident
dictate
your whole life.
I was a kid.
I know, Ray.
But until
you let this go,
you will always be
a victim to the bottle.
To the bottle,
to the bottle, to the bottle
Screw you
and your bottle.
What happened to him?
He got fresh with me.
Whoo!
This is 100 miles west
of the last gas station.
We anticipated them hitting
this area, but not here.
Maybe this guy tried to have sex
with one of our unsubs
while the other one
was inside.
Cheating
on your honeymoon.
Someone's got
a twisted sense of commitment.
So they steal the liquor
from the gas station,
they go on a binge,
and then they come to a meeting?
What if the unsubs
met at a meeting?
They hear
each other's stories
and develop a bond
because of their similar backgrounds.
That makes sense.
People typically drink to excess
because they're unhappy
with themselves or their past.
From the looks of it, at least one
of the unsubs shot from up front.
Run!
Well, if the meeting
started at 8:00,
and this happened
at 8:45,
they were probably
in the sharing portion of the meeting.
So maybe they didn't
come in here to kill.
You know, what if
they really are struggling with sobriety?
If they're really
working the program,
they could be working
on the hardest steps.
Which are?
Acknowledge your shortcomings,
accept responsibility, and make amends.
The trouble is,
these unsubs already broke
one of
the most important steps.
What's that?
The thirteenth step.
Members aren't supposed
to enter relationships with each other
while trying
to get sober.
What are you
thinking about?
We need to go
to the next step.
All this killing
and drinking is fun,
but it doesn't change
the fact that, you know,
my father used to *** me,
or what your daddy did to you, you know.
What are you saying,
Syd?
If you want
to find closure,
you gotta go directly
to the source.
We do 8 and 9?
Why not?
We're looking for a young couple
from North Dakota,
late teens to mid-20s.
We believe
they may have recently been married.
We're seeing that alcohol plays
a significant role in these crimes.
It's allowing them to kill
freely and recklessly.
Our unsubs are killing surrogates
who represent those responsible
for deep-seated wounds.
Now, these two
most likely met at alcohol support.
And they get a ***
charge out of the kill.
The change from
gas station to alcohol support meetings
suggests one of them might
have a slight moral compass
that led them to get help.
Ultimately, we believe
one of the pair
is a sociopath,
while the other is a psychopath.
What's really
the difference?
They're similar pathologies,
but a sociopath
is less likely to participate
in criminal activity
and can be lured
by a dominant,
while a psychopath
is a consummate leader
and likely to engage
and destroy anyone in their way.
The most recent attack
was 12 hours ago,
which means they're most likely
heading west of Helena
and towards Idaho.
All
surrounding areas should be on alert.
This is it?
This is it.
This is it.
This is your house.
Say hi to me, baby.
Hi, baby.
You look good.
This is Ray's house.
Hey, baby.
Kiss me.
You look good, baby.
Mmm.
Cute butt.
Yeah,
can I help you?
Raymond.
Say cheese.
Hi, daddy.
Ray.
Ray.
These alcohol support groups
are based on anonymity.
There'll be no record
of who attended the meeting.
Garcia, our unsubs attended
an alcohol support meeting
last night, but they're
not from the area.
Can you trace who accessed
their website yesterday?
to that website,
one on a mobile,
Cross-check that with a list
of anyone married in Montana
in the last 2 days.
No, no,
I'm coming up empty.
See if anyone on the list
who accessed the site
is from North Dakota.
Bingo, baby.
Ray Donovan of Devil's Lake.
- Ironic.
- What's his story?
He is 27.
He's been
in and out of foster care
since he was 10.
He looks like
kind of a lush
and a bit of a meanie.
He's had 2 DUIs
in the last 2 years.
He was slapped with
a restraining order
by an ex-girlfriend.
Sounds like our boy.
What's her name?
She might be his partner.
No, she's not.
Her name's Amy Wichowsky.
She died a year ago
of an overdose from
a mix of alcohol and ***.
Garcia, get us the address
of the foster home.
Somebody there
might know something.
Sure.
Give me a sec.
I talked to all 4
of Ray's foster families.
They say he was removed
from his parents' home
because of
drugs and abuse.
- Garcia.
- Yes?
Can we confirm that
with the biological family?
Ok.
I'm gonna patch you
through.
I want you to take
the ninth step.
Take the ninth step?
Why?
I didn't do anything.
I was put into foster care
because of you,
you ***.
You were put in foster care
because of our drug problem.
Ray, no one molested you.
Mrs.
Donovan:
Put the gun down, Ray.
Shut up!
Take the ninth step
or I'm gonna
shoot you, dad.
I didn't do it.
I didn't touch you.
Ray, you're my own
flesh and blood.
I never touched you.
Don't you lie!
I said
I'll take care of it.
I swear it.
Take the ninth step.
I ain't taking no step.
Take it.
Take it.
I ain't gonna
ask you again.
No!
Why did you do that, Syd?
'Cause you wouldn't.
I would have.
Look what you did.
Come on, Ray.
- Look what you did, Syd!
- Come on, Ray.
Look what you did!
It wasn't
for you to do!
This was mine, Syd!
All right, so Ray must have been
sitting right here,
playing Russian roulette
with his dad.
Mr.
Donovan was shot
from across the room.
Ray couldn't have
done it sitting there.
Maybe he got mad,
went over by the door,
shot him from there.
Prentiss.
You all right?
Yeah.
It's nothing.
Uh, what if Ray
didn't do it at all?
What if the girl
pulled the trigger?
Well, why would Ray
let her do that?
He was the one
with the grudge.
Ray kept asking Paul
to take the ninth step.
"Take the ninth step.
"
It sounds like
they're making amends,
but they're twisting it, trying to
force people who have wronged them
to make amends to them.
Mrs.
Donovan, did you hear
the name of the girl
that Ray's with?
He kept calling her Syd.
Syd, I think.
Maybe she's the one
calling the shots.
She's the psychopath.
Well, if she did do it without
his consent, they're going to be at odds.
The first marital fight
is supposed to be the worst.
Well, it just might be
the wedge that we need.
Ray
Please don't be mad.
Baby.
Baby!
I need a minute.
Let me talk to you.
I'm going to tell you I'm sorry.
Huh?
He touched me,
not you.
Baby, just take it out
on me.
Come on.
Just take
your frustrations out on me.
Come on.
Come on, baby.
Hit me.
Hit me.
Stop it, Syd!
Hit me.
Stop it, Syd!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do it.
Do it.
When I say I'm gonna
handle something, I will handle it.
I understand,
baby.
I am the man
in this relationship.
I just want to make you
feel better, baby.
Syd, a man takes care
of things.
You understand me? Huh?
I understand.
I understand.
I understand.
Mmm.
I'm serious, Syd.
I am, too.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ok, so, no Ray Donovan
filed for a marriage certificate.
However, I looked
at that list again,
and there's a Sydney Manning
of Washington State
who filed for a marriage certificate
Washington State?
We profiled North Dakota.
Yes, she's lived in North Dakota
for the last 4 years,
and it gets better,
or worse, rather.
It turns out
that Sydney was sentenced
to mandatory rehab
after serving time
for a hit and run
during which she was
under the influence
of alcohol and ***.
Oh, so she didn't volunteer
for alcohol support.
No, she was placed there
as part of her parole.
Alcohol and ***.
Isn't that the same combo
that Ray's ex O.
D.
ed on?
Yes, it is,
my friend.
So both Syd and the ex
have the same vice.
Garcia, check to see if there's an
juvie records of the ex we can access.
Amy was pulled out
of High School
so she could go to rehab
for alcohol dependency.
But no mention
of the ***?
What are you thinking?
Psychopaths will destroy
anything in their path.
What if Amy
was in Sydney's way?
Garcia, where is
Sydney Manning's biological family?
Spokane, Washington.
And why was she
pulled out of her home?
Her father
was molesting her.
So Ray and Syd
did meet
after sharing similar backgrounds
in alcohol support.
And if they're sticking
to the pattern of making amends,
Sydney's father's
next on the list.
Reid, you stay at the command center
in case they double back.
The rest of us
are gonna go to spokane.
I want to take you
back there ♪
can I take you back? ♪
ohh ♪

Sydney?
Have you heard

what?
I got no idea what
you're talking about.
Making amends.
Why don't you just
put the gun away.
See, I don't want
to put the gun away.
I want you
To touch me.
What are you
talking about?
I want you
to touch me.
You used to like it.
Syd,
put your skirt down.
I ain't puttin' down
Jack.
Sydney--
what's the matter,
daddy?
You don't like
the way I look?
Sydney
You're out of control.
No, no
You were out of control.
Listen
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I've changed.
I've found God.
God?
Where was he every time
you'd take me to that back room, huh?
I don't know.
Not here.
I don't know.
Not here.
Every time I'd hear
that door chime,
somebody's gonna
come save me?
It never happened.
God was nowhere
near this place.
Please.
Sydney
What do you want me to do?
There's nothing
you can do,
you sorry piece of crap!
Yeah, baby.
Daddy? Daddy!
What are you doing
to my dad?
May I help you?
Mrs.
Manning,
we're with the FBI.
Is your husband home?
He's at work.
What is this about?
Your daughter Sydney--
we think she's planning on hurting him.
Sydney?
That's Gary's kid.
He hasn't seen her
in years.
Can you tell us
your husband's work address, please?
Uh, 785 Halbrook Street,
off Kirkland Road.
He owns a gas station.
Thank you.
- Please, Sydney, don't do this.
- Daddy!
I never hurt her
I never hurt her!
Of course you didn't!
He didn't, I swear.
Daddy!
Hey.
Hey.
Daddies don't do this
to their daughters.
Hey, it's ok.
It's ok.
We're gonna
get you out of here.
Hey.
Hey, honey.
You'll change your mind.
I did.
I want my daddy!
My daddy!
Prentiss, get down!
It's them! Get back!
Syd!
Syd!
Aah!
Ray!
Syd! Syd!
Syd! Syd!
Aah!
Syd! SydSyd!
Ray, they got me.
They got me, baby.
You'll be ok.
It's not that bad, baby.
She needs a doctor.
I know what she needs.
Get me some whiskey.
There's no alcohol
in here.
You're kidding me.
My dad doesn't drink.
He says it's against the Bible.
You don't have
to protect him anymore.
He's gone.
Get her a water.
Get her some water!
What do you want?
Mr.
Donovan,
how you doing in there?
How do you think I'm doing?
You shot my girl.
No, it was one of my agents.
He didn't have a choice.
He had a choice.
He could've shot me.
Now put him on the phone.
I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
Put him on the phone.
He needs
to fix this crap.
Morgan.
Hello, Ray.
You know,
if you come out,
we can get Sydney
to the hospital.
She doesn't need
a hospital.
She's strong.
Don't be stupid.
You don't be stupid.
Now get your men out of here
so we can continue on as planned.
We can't do that, Ray,
and you know it.
You got
a little girl inside.
And God only knows
what happened to Sydney's father.
Justice happened
to her father.
So he's dead?
Damn right he's dead,
and his kid's gonna be, too,
if you don't get me a car
to take us to Aruba.
All right.
Let me see
what I can do about that.
Is there anything else
you need in the meantime?
Some gauze
and some ***.
And none of them cheap kind, either.
It has now been 2 hours
since Ray Donovan and Sydney Manning
locked themselves inside
this Spokane gas station.
Two hostages are thought
to be inside,
the owner of the station and
his 10-year-old daughter.
What do they want?
Liquor and tickets
to Aruba.
They're delusional.
You're not negotiating
with them?
No, but we're gonna
let them think we are.
Does she look like me?
I think she does.
I don't know, Syd.
Don't be scared.
We're not gonna hurt you.
Syd
What grade are you in?
Shh, Syd.
You need to preserve
your energy.
Fourth grade.
I liked
the fourth grade.
Stop talking
to her.
Relax, Ray,
we're having a family reunion
in aisle 3.
Be supportive.
Move back!
Move back
or I kill this girl.
Back off! Back off!
I will shoot this kid!
Back off!
Back!
Kid, unlock that door.
You got it?
Uh-huh.
Put your hand
on the lock.
Just unlock it.
- Got it?
- Yes.
Ok.
Yes.
Ray? Take it easy, man.
Uh-huh.
- Take it easy.
- You take it easy.
Put it down!
All right.
Put it down.
We got you the stuff
you asked for.
We're working
on the rest.
Great.
If you need anything else,
you just pick up that phone.
It's routed straight to us.
You understand?
I should kill you
right now.
Back up.
I'm leaving.
Back up!
Now, lock the door.
You got it?
Uh-huh.
Let's go.
Lock it.
Stay here.
Don't move.
Don't move.
Ok.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, God.
- Did they say anything about the car?
- Shh.
Mm.
Oh
Shh, baby.
Poor baby.
Let me see.
Ohh! Oh!
Yeah?
Where the hell
is our car?
I need you to listen
to me for a second.
I know you've had
a hard time,
with your father and everything
that he did to you.
Shut up.
You don't know
anything about me.
Last year, your ex-girlfriend Amy
was murdered.
I know that.
Amy
committed suicide.
No, she was killed, Ray.
Nah.
Amy O.
D.
ed
on *** and alcohol.
They found ***
in her system, Ray.
Amy never did ***.
Exactly.
Because somebody
gave it to her.
Why don't you ask
Sydney about it?
Why? What does she--
what does she have to do with this?
Ray,
what's going on?
Come on, man,
think for a second.
Sydney joined alcohol support right after
you and Amy broke up.
She could see you still
had feelings for Amy,
so Sydney needed Amy
out of the way.
You're out of line,
pal.
Then ask her.
But I guarantee when you do,
she's not gonna answer you.
She's only gonna question you back, Ray.
What are you
talking about?
Sydney is the one
who gave Amy that ***.
Ask her.
Hey, what--
what's wrong, Ray?
Ask her.
Get her to come clean.
Did you give Amy
***?
Baby, what are you
talking about? I love you.
Listen--
there,
you see that, Ray?
We call that
structural deception.
She doesn't want
to answer your question.
She's only buying herself
some time
so she can think of
something else to say to you.
That's not true.
Ray, Sydney killed Amy.
And if you press her, she's probably
gonna try and use *** distraction
to get you
to change the subject.
Don't you talk about
my wife like that.
What is--
what is he saying?
*** distraction, Ray.
You gotta listen to me.
No, I'm done
listening to you.
Now, why don't you
get us a car and some plane tickets,
or I am gonna blow
this girl's head off.
It's ok.
It's ok, sis.
It's ok.
Baby,
Ray
Why is he
telling me that?
Why is he saying this
to me?
I don't know.
I don't know.
You wouldn't do that
to Amy, would you?
Of course not, baby.
Hey.
Hey, you know
what we should do
while we're waiting
to get out of here?
We should make love
right here in front of them.
Yeah, that would really
freak them out, wouldn't it?
Yeah?
Baby.
Make love to me.
Right here
in front of them.
Yeah.
I think
we got through to him.
This thing's gonna end.
He's gonna
ask her again.
He has to.
The kid's
our only priority.
Go back by the door.
I said
go to the door!
Baby, we can do it.
While everybody's
watching us.
All right.
Ray, that's so hot.
It's so hot, Ray.
You know, the first time
I saw you,
I knew
I had to have you.
You were the yin
to my yang, Ray.
Till death
do us part, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Till death do us part.
Oh, baby.
Mm
Syd.
Oh.
Oh.
Syd.
Oh.
