Better run there, Meredith!
Whoo-hoo!
You can run faster
than that, girl!
Aah!
Whoo-hoo!
Meredith?
Where'd you go, baby?
Meredith?
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
Meredith?
Fan out.
Meredith
Meredith?
Hah!
Found her!
Aah!
No! Please
Please
ShhShh
It's all right.
Let me know
when you're finished.
No!
No!
Whoa.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Yay, technology.
Behold. Everyone has
a new tablet.
We've gone paperless?
Fear not,
doctor of the dark ages.
I went old school for your
anti-technology quirk.
Paper files,
hard copy photos.
But the abacus
is your responsibility.
Garcia, not that I don't
appreciate your efforts,
but exactly where did
the funding for these come from?
I did a thing.
A thing?
Best not talk about
the thing.
We'll talk about
the thing later.
Ok. Instead, let's talk
about harvest season.
Because it is harvest season
in Indiana,
and farmers are finding
more than corn in their fields.
Meredith Joy, Kimberly Jukes,
and Amanda Frye
were all discovered murdered
in Johnson County, Indiana.
All 3 women
were exotic dancers
living in different
counties in the state.
Kimberly Jukes,
the first victim,
went missing 6 weeks ago.
And in each instance,
the women finished their shifts,
but they never made it
to their cars.
It says here Amanda Frye was
found 90 miles from her house.
This guy's going a long way
to abduct his victims.
If he's dumping the bodies
in the same county,
it's a good chance
he's located nearby.
It shouldn't be too hard to
work up a geographical profile.
Meredith Joy put up
quite a fight.
She's got defensive wounds
all over her body.
And the lab discovered two different
samples of DNA under her fingernails,
so we're dealing with
at least a team.
One that rapes, beats, and strangles
their victims in a cornfield.
They're using condoms.
I bet one of these guys has a record
and he doesn't want us
connecting the DNA.
And they're accelerating
their attack schedule.
It's 3 weeks between the
first and second kill,
the second and third.
Meredith Joy
died October 31st.
Now they're down to one week.
Who's missing?
Her name
is Stephanie Wilson.
She was abducted last night
from Club Prowl
in Tippecanoe county.
She finished her shift
at midnight,
but she never made it home
to her 2-year-old daughter.
Babysitter called the police,
and Stephanie's car was left in
the parking lot like the others.
And there's
a clear pattern.
All the women have been
abducted on Friday night
and murdered sometime
Sunday evening.
Which means we've got less than 2
days to save Stephanie Wilson.
Stephanie.
Hey, wake up, sweetheart.
Hey, come on, sleepyhead.
You gotta get back
to work now.
That's a girl.
Come on, now.
Rise and shine.
Hey, no sleeping in.
It's time to get back to work.
Hey! Shh, shh.
Hey, don't you struggle.
Hey, don't struggle.
Don't struggle.
You know better than that,
don't you?
Yeah, you do. Yeah.
All right.
Batter up.
Whoo!
Yes, sir.
Oh! God, what the hell, man!
Wake up. You don't
want to miss the show.
Here. Take this.
No, no.
No
No
No.
"The herd
seek out the great,
"not for their sake,
but for their influence,
and the great welcome them,
out of vanity or need."
Napoleon Bonaparte.
Hey, guys.
Look at the patterns
on the cornfields.
It's all hard turns
and zigzags.
They had to have been
chasing these women.
Do you think
they escaped?
Maybe if it was just
the one time, but all 3?
They let them go so they
could chase them again.
The women probably thought
they were being released.
I'd say we're most likely looking
for two dominant Alpha male
personalities,
but we shouldn't rule out
one dominant who allows
his submissive
to have sex with these victims
in order to control him.
Well, it certainly speaks
speaks to their arrogance
if they're that confident
the women won't get away.
Prostitutes and strippers
usually make easy targets.
Maybe they need
to up the challenge.
The hunt could be
what gets them off.
Garcia, focus on
prior *** crimes
in the area.
This kind of confidence
doesn't get built overnight.
Yeah, I am compiling
as we are face-timing.
I'm also running DNA results
through unsolved crimes
in Indiana
and the surrounding states.
Good. Let me know as soon
as you find anything.
You know, interestingly,
all 3 victims
had downers and uppers
in their system.
Well, were the drugs
used to subdue the women,
or is it a ruse to get them
to come home with them?
Prentiss and reid,
go to the club
where Stephanie Wilson
worked to find out.
Dave, you and Morgan
work the dumpsite,
and I'll work victimology at
the local Sheriff's station.
You think you can give me
the runaround, kemp?
I don't think so.
No one talks to the press
but me.
This is my department,
my investigation.
Do you understand?
You make me look bad.
It's not enough
I got the FBI coming in.
No, now I have to deal with
fumbled plays from my own team?
Desk duty, 2 weeks.
Dismissed.
Sheriff.
Sheriff Jeff Salters.
Aaron Hotchner.
Sorry about that.
One of my guys
leaked the news
about the dead woman
to the press.
I needed to, uh,
send a message.
Why is the investigation
being kept a secret?
Well, that was my call.
I don't want these guys
skipping town
before I have a chance
to arrest them.
This ends
in my jurisdiction.
Has Stephanie Wilson's
father arrived?
He's waiting
in the conference room.
He's pretty messed up
about the whole thing.
That's understandable.
I just don't get it.
You know how many strippers
and prostitutes
I saw get beaten up and ***
when I worked the city?
Sometimes it's like
they're asking for it.
Nobody asks for this,
Sheriff.
Not consciously, anyway.
Shall we go in?
I think I'll speak
to him alone.
Look
I call it like I see it.
These women are victims
of heinous crimes.
I won't have you
judging them
in front of their families.
And I won't have you telling me
how to run my show.
The governor may have
requested your help,
but this is my case.
It's not a show.
It is your case.
And you can watch
from the outside.
That had to hurt.
Let's just hope he can take care
of business again tomorrow.
Are you suddenly a doubter?
'Cause there's the door, man.
Are you seeing this?
Live at schmidt farm,
where the body of Meredith Joy
was discovered late last week,
making her the third victim
in recent weeks
to turn up dead
in a cornfield.
The Johnson county Sheriff's
department remains quiet
about their investigation
thus far,
but we'll stay on
the scene as this story
What are you doing here?
I thought we agreed
not to come
to each other's work.
What did you get me into?
Me? I didn't know anything
about this.
Those girls are dead, Chris.
Chase them around,
have some fun with them,
they won't remember a thing.
That's what you told me.
Scott, that's how it was.
You really didn't know?
Where's Michael?
I'll meet you out back
in 10 minutes.
She said she was making extra
money waiting tables at a bar.
She's my little girl.
I didn't question it.
God, this is all my fault.
No one could have foreseen
Stephanie's abduction.
It's not your fault.
I know, I know.
I just, I--I can't--
Amy needs her mother.
What are you doing
to try to find her?
We're helping local law enforcement
by building a profile.
Profile? Why aren't you just
out there looking for her?
Who knows what these--
these men are doing to her.
I need you to find
my daughter.
We are looking for her. Hopefully this
will point us in the right direction.
No, no,
that's not good enough.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I just, um,
this has all just been
too much.
It's all right.
Mr. Wilson, I assure you,
we will not stop
until we find Stephanie.
What would it take for you
or one of your co-workers
to go home with a customer?
Nothing.
I have a boyfriend.
Does he know
that you work here?
It's how we met.
He doesn't have a problem with it.
Do you?
No, not at all. I'm from Las Vegas.
I don't have a problem with it.
I just, um, these are questions
that we have to ask.
We are not judging you.
We're just trying
to find Stephanie.
Now, you said
you met your boyfriend here.
So you did go home
with a customer once before.
Those were the early days.
Everyone's a little wild
in the beginning.
Not the veterans?
We know
to play it safe.
Was Stephanie the type of girl
who played it safe?
She never really went
through a wild phase.
All she cared about was
getting home to her daughter.
Did anyone try and take
her home last night?
Everyone tries.
Every night.
Nothing stood out?
I know she got asked
to go to a party.
We all did. But she
turned them down.
Them plural?
There were
these two guys.
They got dances
from each of us.
What kind of party
were they offering?
I never got a chance
to find out.
It's bad business to discuss
private deals on the floor.
Can you show me where you and
Stephanie gave them their dances?
Yeah. Over here.
I was in here
while Stephanie
was in that one.
Ok.
Could you sit down?
Yeah.
All right, I can see
the whole room,
but I can't see
my partner.
If you're working
as a team,
you both want to see the
girl you're gonna take home.
Why would they do it somewhere
where they can't see each other?
We should take a look at the
club surveillance footage.
Only 2 cameras. There's
a lot of blind spots.
How do you keep an eye
on all the girls?
We got the one guy
in the back,
one guy on the floor
at all times.
It looks pretty full.
Are you always this busy
on the weekends?
Only on theme nights.
The unsubs probably picked crowded
nights to make sure they blend in.
Well, they're smart.
They make a plan of attack
before they get to the club,
then they separate
and choose their prey.
I doubt they were very happy
when Stephanie turned them down.
Alpha personalities
don't handle rejection well.
They abducted her from the parking
lot just like the others.
It didn't matter what she said.
Stephanie was going to that party
whether she wanted to or not.
How the hell
did they find this place?
We must have taken 30
different turns to get here.
Thank you, Deputy.
We're definitely
looking for a local.
We should position
black-and-whites in the area.
We might be able to spot the
unsubs before their next hunt.
Garcia should pull surveillance
footage of gas stations, too.
With all this driving,
they have to be getting
their fuel somewhere.
I don't get it.
What?
These guys enjoy
the thrill of the chase.
I mean, all right,
I'll buy that.
But what I don't buy is them
taking such a big risk.
Well, they wouldn't
let their victim loose
unless they were certain
she couldn't get away.
So what would make them
so certain?
Manpower.
It would take one person
to drive the truck.
It would take another guy to handle the
spotlight to track her in the field.
Is that enough?
Not for me. I mean,
come on, look at this place.
How can two guys guarantee
that she's not gonna get away?
They drug her.
Maybe they think
that's enough.
Or we're dealing with
more than two unsubs.
Hey, fellas.
Who's tagging in?
Did you really kill
those girls?
I was protecting us.
You protected us so well,
the FBI's here.
What?
They got here this morning.
What do we do,
drug her and dump her?
I don't want
any part of this.
Too late.
You're in just as deep
as the rest of us.
We only had sex with them.
We didn't kill anyone.
First of all, a jury's
not gonna call it sex.
They're gonna call it
***.
Second of all, I told you
I'd take care of it.
What did you think I meant?
I don't know. That--
that you'd drug them
to make them forget us
or something.
Then let them go,
not this.
If we'd have let them go, we'd
all be in jail right now.
Like it or not, we're safe
'cause of what I did.
None of that matters right now.
The FBI are after us.
What do we do?
So what
if the Feds are here?
We covered our tracks.
They can't connect
the girls to us.
We still got
our whole weekend.
I say we lay low,
enjoy ourselves.
Party ain't over yet, baby.
We know these guys are local,
so we should be looking for anybody
working fields or agriculture.
Only problem is, more than
half of Indiana is farmland.
Garcia, were either of the other
clubs having theme nights
when the girls went missing?
Oh, my gosh.
All of them.
Meredith Joy was abducted
on Dollar Draft night,
Amanda Frye on Ladies night,
and Kimberly Jukes on
Fantasy Football Friday.
So, reid, you were right.
They're targeting nights
that the clubs
were at capacity
so they won't be easily recognized
by the security cameras.
Reid.
Guys, I think I found
our two unsubs.
These guys have gotten dances
from half the girls in the club.
They're very careful to hide
their faces from the cameras.
And this guy seems to be communicating
with someone across the room.
But if his partner's sitting
in the booth next to him,
who's he talking to?
Garcia, do you
have another angle?
No luck, head Hotch-o, the
other camera faces the door.
If there's a third unsub, we
could be looking at a pack.
That makes sense.
If these two in the booths are underlings,
they would look to the pack
leader to choose the target.
That's why they abduct the women
from the parking lot.
Stephanie only knew about
the first two men.
If there was a third, she never
would have seen them coming.
Garcia, any luck
with the DNA database?
Nothing
in a 5-state radius,
but I am opening
my parameters to nationwide.
That is gonna take
some time, though.
That's the one thing
we don't have.
We have 24 hours before
Stephanie Wilson ends up
in a cornfield.
We might even have
less than that.
What do you mean?
Two unsubs working toward a
common goal is one thing.
Add a third
and all bets are off.
We only found
two traces of DNA.
One of them probably
doesn't know about the murders.
The pack hierarchy
will start to break down.
They'll question their leader.
And when that happens,
the Alpha
will have to reassert
his authority,
and Stephanie Wilson will be
the object of his aggression.
You should have told me.
After all we've been through, I
don't get why you'd lie to me.
I'm worried
about Scotty.
You know him best.
You think he'll run to the Sheriff?
No. He's been with us
on two hunts now.
He knows he'll get locked up
if he talks.
He'll stay loyal.
Let's hope so.
Ohh!
No, no, no!
You're gonna have to do a hell
of a lot better than that, girl,
or we're gonna have
a real problem.
What are you doing?!
God!
Aah! No!
Now dance!
Who--who's there?
Hey.
I brought you some breakfast.
I'm not hungry.
Look, if you eat,
I'll take off the blindfold.
But you have to promise not to look at me.
Can you do that?
Ok.
It's--it's ok.
Just keep your eyes closed.
You can open them now.
You're going to kill me,
aren't you?
No.
No, it's just
I don't know.
Please let me go.
I can't do that.
I don't want to die.
I don't want that either.
Then let me go.
I have a daughter.
She's only 2.
Please.
I want to see my baby.
I'm going to do everything I can
to get you back to her.
I promise.
You shouldn't make a promise
you can't keep.
I was just saying that
to get her to eat, ok?
We need her to last, don't we?
Whoops, this must have
fell off.
There we go.
Go wait in the truck.
Hold up.
You forgot something.
Stay with him.
I just can't believe
someone from our community
would be involved in this.
Don't underestimate
a pack leader's influence.
These guys are being manipulated
into playing his game.
We think at least
one member of the pack
didn't know that
the women were being killed.
Why here? Why now?
Each of the women was abducted on Friday
night and not killed until Sunday.
So?
So why are they avoiding
the work week?
Could be blue collar.
They like the game,
but they can't let it
interfere with their jobs.
I don't think so.
The pack strikes
not only on the clubs' busiest
nights but also the cheapest.
They have a limited income,
they blend in
with a young crowd,
and they're unavailable
Monday to Friday.
If one of them
is from out of state,
that would explain why they
didn't start their killing
until the summer was over.
What would?
We believe the men we're looking
for are college students.
That's why the killings coincided with
the beginning of the fall semester.
This means they're most likely
in their late teens to mid-20s,
but don't rule out older
students who transferred in
or enlisted in the military
right out of high school.
Right now we're canvassing
colleges in the area.
College students
are impressionable kids
eager to fit in and find
their place in the world.
This environment
is conducive
to the creation of a pack.
In a typical pack, not all
members are created equally.
There'll be a dominant one,
an Alpha personality
who's most likely the oldest
member of the group.
We believe he could be
from out of state
and has likely committed
similar crimes before.
The lieutenant will be fiercely
loyal to the pack leader.
The Alpha demands this.
He probably comes from
a broken home
where he felt a loss
the dominant was able to fill.
And finally,
we have the follower,
the newest member of the pack.
He hasn't cemented his loyalty
to the Alpha
when already he's starting to
question his role in the group.
It's unlikely this member is privy to
the pack leader's ultimate agenda.
It won't be long before the dominant
realizes the low man is a liability.
We need to find this man
before the pack eliminates him.
How do we do that?
We drive a wedge between them.
Amp up the pressure.
This is our best chance
of finding Stephanie alive.
How do they know
where we go to school?
They're going to every
campus in the area. Chill.
No.
I'm out.
No one's out.
No, look, ok?
I'm not gonna
tell anyone.
I swear. Ok?
I'm gonna skip town.
Just calm down and be smart.
We'll figure it out.
I can't.
I just can't.
You brought him in,
you fix it.
I come bearing new information.
After I expanded my search
nationwide,
CODIS bounced back a DNA match to
a series of rapes in Louisiana.
The dominant's
done it before.
DNA matched only one unsub,
but there's another sample
in the Louisiana cases.
He had partners before.
Just not the same ones.
So he moves on when
the pack dissolves.
Louisiana P.D. were crazy close
to solving who done it,
but then the rapes stopped.
Two locals went missing
and they pinned the crimes
on them.
I'm sure they didn't
just happen to disappear.
Garcia, do a search
of local colleges
for students
from Louisiana.
Yeah, I'm gonna do that.
Garcia out.
If he's killed his partners
before, he'll do it again.
But if he kills
his accomplices,
Stephanie Wilson
is as good as gone.
Everything's
gonna be all right.
How?
The Feds
are closing in on us.
Where are we going?
Michael has a plan.
I don't trust him.
You trust me, don't you?
Yes. I trust you,
butMichael
is unpredictable.
How do you not see that?
I've known him
a lot longer than you have.
All right?
Have faith.
Why are we stopping?
We're ditching the truck
and skipping town.
So, what, we're just gonna leave the
truck in the middle of nowhere?
Yep.
Who's that?
It's just Michael
coming to pick us up.
Why didn't you tell me?
Relax, would you.
You ready?
Yes, sir.
What the hell, man?!
It's time you learned
a lesson in loyalty, Scotty.
I thought
you were my friend.
Uhh!
What's this for?
Finish the job.
What are you talking about?
He's learned his lesson.
Lesson's not his,
it's yours.
Finish him.
I'm not a killer, man.
You are now.
No
There's only one way
out the brotherhood.
Don't do that.
No.
Don't do this.
Chris, I'm your friend.
Chris, don't, please!
I'm sorry.
Please don't do this!
No, no, no!
Aah!
Keep it together, Chris.
Stephanie?
No. Male victim.
We managed to I.D.
what was left of him.
Name's Scott Kagan.
He was a sophomore
at Ernstrom College.
This might be
one of our unsubs.
We said they'd eliminate
the weakest link,
and it looks like
he was it.
The pack isn't just
breaking apart,
they're completely
collapsing.
Rather than kill
Stephanie Wilson,
they decided to eliminate
one of their own.
I mean, how long until
the lieutenant realizes
that he's expendable
as well?
Hopefully soon. Stephanie may have gained
another day, but that's not gonna last.
We have another problem,
that they've changed pattern also.
We're 3 counties away
from the normal
disposal area.
Maybe they saw
the patrol cars
at the usual dumping grounds
and got spooked.
No, not a chance.
My guys were parked
at the edge of the field.
No one saw them.
Well, then maybe they knew
about the patrols in advance.
Scott Kagan looks like
a super outcast.
Record of marijuana
possession in high school,
moved on to harder stuff
in college.
Scott rushed the fraternity
Kappa Iota Phi,
but was thrown out before
he became a full member.
According to his school counselor records,
he never really fit in anywhere.
Well, not for lack of trying.
That's exactly what made him
vulnerable to the Alpha.
He didn't stand a chance.
The dominant befriended him
and gave him
a place to belong.
Garcia, we know the pack leader
is connected to the rapes
in Louisiana.
Do any students at Ernstrom College
match to that area?
No such lucky.
I have cross-referenced
with profile,
location, and criminal record.
I have zilch.
Let's concentrate
on the lieutenant.
He's our local
connection.
Check the entire state,
Fort Wayne to evansville.
This guy knows the country roads
like the back of his hand.
Like Scott, both members
were probably rejected
by Fraternities
or Athletic Organizations.
Their actions must have been deemed
inappropriate to get them kicked out,
not just drug offenses
but violence as well.
And they knew about
the police traps.
At least one of the unsubs is
connected to the investigation.
Do you think they have
an inside man?
It's possible.
Run background checks on members
of the Sheriff's Department,
civilians and officers alike.
I'd like to speak
to the Sheriff.
This is Sheriff Salters.
Hello?
Hello, is anyone there?
Everything ok?
Yeah.
Fine.
Who you calling, buddy?
No one.
Sheriff's office.
Now, why'd you have to go
and do something like that?
Sir, I need to talk to you guys
really, really alone.
Ok. Hang on.
Conference room.
Go ahead, Garcia.
I ran a list of police officers
with children who go
to Ernstrom College,
and I cross-referenced that with my
flagged campus violent offenders.
What did you find?
My apologies, sir,
but Sheriff Salters has a son
that goes to Ernstrom,
and the deeper I dig,
the more interesting it gets.
It appears young Salters
has a sealed record.
I already did that.
Unseal it.
And it's blank.
What do you mean?
Everything in it
has been erased.
Who'd know better
that the FBI are here
than someone living with a cop?
Do you think Salters knows?
How could he?
He's searching for a leak
in his own department,
only he's the leak.
Garcia, dig up
everything you can
on Salters and his son.
Yes, sir.
Stay here.
Sheriff,
I need to talk to you.
I'm busy.
Then I can come back
with a warrant.
Your son Chris
has a sealed record,
but I think I know
what's in it.
He's been arrested for assault and
probably drug violations, too,
and you've covered up
for him.
That's why it didn't turn
up in our initial search.
Are you a father,
Agent Hotchner?
Yes, I am.
Well, then you understand.
I couldn't let these, uh,
these incidents
ruin Chris' future.
I understand
that if you run your home
the way you run
your department,
then you bully your family the
way you bully your officers.
I run a tight ship.
How long ago did your wife stop
putting up with it and leave you?
You son of a ***.
How many times
have you hit Chris?
How dare you accuse me
of abusing my son!
You call it discipline.
You hit Chris in order
to maintain control,
but you lost that control
a long time ago.
Has he started
to hit you back yet?
Don't tell me
how to raise my son.
You've covered up domestic disturbance
violations and drug offenses.
Have you covered up
anything else?
What are you getting at?
Have you discussed details
of the case with Chris?
Did you tell him
about the checkpoints?
He was asking me
about my day.
That was in order
to escape detection.
I'm sorry, Sheriff, your son's
right in the middle of this,
and if you don't help us
find him,
we're gonna lose him
and Stephanie Wilson.
Hotch, he's not in the dorms and
he's not answering his phone.
You know, if Salters inflicts
physical punishment on Chris,
then it's highly unlikely
he's the Alpha of the group.
No, based on what we know,
Chris wouldn't be the dominant,
nor would he have
the confidence to lead.
But if the dominant
protected Chris
He'd have
his unwavering loyalty.
Sheriff, when Chris
started Ernstrom,
was there an upperclassman
who befriended him
or who he looked up to?
Did he join a Fraternity?
Did he play on a sports team?
He didn't do this.
Garcia, anything?
I'm searching, sir.
Track team.
And Kappa Iota Phi.
That's what
we've been missing.
Garcia, expand your previous
Louisiana search
to former Ernstrom students
who fit our offender
profile.
Narrowing, narrowing
Molto bene.
Michael Kosina of Louisiana.
Uh, let's see.
He was kicked out of Kappa Iota Phi
after questionable ***
conduct with a student in 2004.
The charges were dropped.
But the incident earned
the fraternity probation
from its national chapter.
Michael Kosina.
I met him.
He caused
Chris' bar fight.
He did this to my son?
Were Kosina and Chris
at Ernstrom at the same time?
Yeah. Chris was a freshman
when he was a senior.
Michael dropped out
a few weeks later
after he got into an altercation
with one of his professors.
This type of dominant
would definitely have issues
with authority.
Tell me you got
an address, baby girl.
En route as we flirt, baby.
Morgan, wait until
Sheriff Salters arrives.
He might be able
to talk to Chris.
All right, but, you know,
Hotch, if that doesn't work,
Prentiss could be
our best shot.
True. The pack
objectifies women.
They wouldn't know how to handle
negotiating with one.
We gotta hit the road.
Why?
They're getting too close.
No, they're not.
It doesn't matter.
They're in our heads.
First Scott and now you.
You can trust me.
Really?
Look, I didn't say anything,
I swear.
Doesn't mean you won't
next time.
We're leaving.
Where are we going?
I don't know yet.
I have to make a stop first.
Trust is earned.
What are you
going to do to me?
Don't worry, baby.
I'm not going to let
anything happen to you.
Ok? Stand up.
Here we go.
Come on.
Hey.
We do this,
we're free and clear.
Huh? No more pops
telling you what to do.
We hit the road
to a brand-new life,
just you and me,
brother, to the end.
To the end.
Away we go.
Hey!
Chris Salters!
Michael Kosina!
FBI. Give yourselves up.
We want to negotiate.
The time for that
is over, son.
Oh, I wish I was your son,
Sheriff.
It wouldn't be my ribs
getting bruised.
Christopher, walk this way
and we'll work it out.
Don't you get it?
He's done taking orders from you.
Sorry, dad. Can't.
Prentiss, go. Go.
Michael.
Chris.
My name's Emily Prentiss.
I'm holstering my weapon.
I just want to talk.
That's what they all say.
That's quite a feat,
manipulating a cop's son into
committing *** and ***.
Shouldn't we be talking about how your
fine *** is gonna get us out of here?
You wish.
Look around.
Everyone's guns
are trained on you.
Not Chris. You.
No one wants to shoot
a cop's kid.
But you?
I might shoot you myself.
You call yourself
a negotiator?
Chris, I know you're loyal
to Michael. I get it.
He was there for you when
you thought nobody else was.
Nobody was.
That might be true.
But you need to understand
that Michael's done this before.
Don't listen to this ***!
She's trying to get us
to surrender.
We should rush them now.
You don't want to do that,
Chris, do you?
That's suicide, for you.
Michael doesn't care.
He was gonna kill you the moment
things got tough, anyway.
Just like he killed
his last team.
What's she talking about?
Two men went missing
following a series of rapes
in Northern Louisiana.
What do you think
happened to them?
Is that true?
Were you gonna kill me, too?
What do you mean, too?
I didn't kill Scott.
You did.
You said that
it was to protect us.
Us, me. It's all the same.
It don't matter, anyway. We're not
getting out of here, either one of us.
I need to know
you're with me.
To the end.
Well?
Too late.
Aah!
Aah! Ohh!
What did you do?!
Put it down!
Put it down!
It's over, Christopher.
It's over.
I am not going to jail.
We'll get you
a good lawyer.
We'll figure out a way to
get your sentence reduced.
You'd like that,
wouldn't you, dad?
A chance to play hero.
Son
Well, too late.
You don't get too win this one.
Medic, we need a medic.
I had to, son.
Sheriff?
It's time for us to go.
Yeah.
You know, I keep asking
myself what I did wrong.
How did my son
become a murderer?
There's an answer
that a profiler could give you,
but you don't
need to hear that.
And you don't need
any criticism from me.
All I can say is
that in my own life,
I try to run
a very tight ship at work,
and then when I come home,
I try to give my son
all the love and compassion and
understanding that he deserves.
And I'm not saying
this is your failing,
but something made Chris
vulnerable.
I know I've lost him.
I don't think you have.
It's going to take every
connection I've ever had
to keep him
off death row.
And after that, he's going
to need you more than ever.
Chris is lost.
But he doesn't have to spend
the rest of his life that way.
What can I do?
Be there for him.
Make amends.
And help him do the same.
Good luck.
Thank you.
