Previously on Cross
I need to find out
who's fucking with my family.
- Where did you get that?
- Mom's closet.
[Sampson] Heard back from Quincy.
Ran some hairs and fibers from that scarf.
Most of them are Maria's,
but one definitely was not.
[Bobby] If you're thinking
of grabbing another one
right now, you need to don't.
[Ramsey] Come by for some
harmless, platonic, very friendly advice.
[gunshot]
[crowd screaming]
[Cross] Tavio was murdered
because he knew something about Emir.
Now, if we just had his phone.
I have his cell phone.
I think he was killed
for something on there.
A voicemail from Emir Goodspeed.
[Emir on recording] I went
to that dude's house for a date.
I'm all fucked up. I'm at 41 Price Street.
[Ramsey] Glad you decided to come.
Hello, Aileen.

Hey.
For Mommy, from all of us.
They're as beautiful as you.
Aw. [laughs]
Okay. Come here. Mm. Yeah.
Now, you make sure you talk to her.
She's always been a good listener.
- Mm-hmm.
- Still is. Mm.

Easy.
Good morning.
Shannon, I need you to do me a favor.
I need you to take a deep breath
and hold it.
What?
Why?
Just do it.
Shh, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay.
Breathe. Breathe.
Breathe. Try again.
- Why am I here?
- Shannon. Shannon!
Breathe.
That's it. Yes.

And you're welcome.
I don't understand.
What do you want from me?
One step at a time.
[Shannon panting]
[Ramsey] That's it.
That's it.
[Emir on recording] Tavio, it's me.
I went to that dude's house for a date,
but something isn't right, man.
I'm all fucked up
and I didn't touch anything.
He did something. I need you to pull up.
Tavie, I'm at 41 Price Street.
Please, man, come quick.
I'm in trouble, man.
[line clicks]
[sighs]
Damn, that's chilling.
You can feel the fear.
Yeah. Goodspeed was killed
right after leaving that message.
Then why does the coroner's
report say accidental overdose?
That was decided
before I was put on the case.
So why haven't they changed it?
- Come on, Dean.
- It's a problem, Alex. You know it.
- Multiple bodies are connected to this, Your Honor.
- Connected how?
The guy that Emir called for that ride
Tavio Lemmons
he was murdered
before we could even talk to him.
Tavio's girlfriend ends up
with the phone with that voicemail.
She was killed a couple of days later.
It all comes back to whatever went down
at the Price Street address.
I need a warrant to get in there,
- please.
- It's not that simple.
Right now, I don't see a crime.
Neither does the M.E.
It is that simple.
You believe me or you don't.
We're friends or we're not.
Friends don't let friends
get overturned on appeal.

[police radio chatter]

You believe that shit?
Every time.
[elevator bell dings]
[doors open]
- [indistinct conversations]
- [phones ringing]
Oh, hey, Cross. I've got some info
on that Price Street house.
Doesn't matter. Can't get a warrant. Hey.
Did you get Massey
to change the cause of death?
She's not in. Me and you, we got to talk.
Did you know that house
used to be the Egyptian Embassy?
And before that, the Second National Bank.
- And before that, a brothel.
- Okay.
But who owns it now?
That's a little bit
of a riddle, still, but
whoever it is ran it through
a Delaware corporation owned by
a trust based in Nevada.
The property is vacant
and listed for short-term rental.
Whoa, didn't you just
tell me you had something?
Okay, you don't
have to be a dick about it.
I'm just trying to tell you
that someone is aggressively
hiding the ownership.
Why don't you try to tell me
when you know who that someone is?
The DNA results from the hair
you found on Maria's scarf came in.
We get a name?
- Here's the thing, Sugar
- Who is it, John?
You're not managing very well,
do you feel me?
- I'm fine.
- No, you're not.
Give me a name.
I had to put flowers
on your wife's grave today
on your anniversary
because you couldn't
get all the way there.
You couldn't even step foot past the gate.
It's been over a year.
The name, the name, the name.
I want a name, John.
Make the appointment.
What appointment?
Are you fucking serious?
Are you fucking seri
You know what, I'll call the lab myself.
And they'll tell you to call me.
Have you lost your mind, John?
This motherfucker been in my house.
He messed with my kids. Huh?
You want to sit here
and pull this Iyanla: Fix My Life shit?
You want the name, make the appointment.
Do it right now. On speaker.
All right.
- [dialing]
- [mutters] Fuckin' appointment.
- Hmm?
- [line ringing]
[Marcy] Dr. Adele Finaly's office.
Marcy! Hey, what's up?
It's Alex Cross. Yeah, yeah.
Uh, I just wanted to make
an appointment with the doc.
When's her next available?
Dr. Cross, it's been a while.
Can I put you on hold while I check?
Absolutely.
[sighs]
- [Muzak playing]
- Name.
You're not gonna believe this.
[dramatic music playing]
- [knock on door]
- Guys, we'll pick this up later.
I thought you wanted this filed
Did you hear the part
where I said "later"? Go.
Don't come in here
asking me for another favor, Alex.
Sampson promised
you'd do a nice, quiet suspension.
If I had known that
you were gonna keep working
I never would have slow-played
that citizen complaint.
Not about that.
Someone broke into my home.
Didn't take anything. Instead,
- they left a scarf that used to belong to my wife.
- What?
One that went missing
the day she was killed.
We sent it to the lab.
They found a strand of hair
that didn't belong to Maria.
DNA just came back.
It's yours.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [The Soulsations: "Soul Skate"]
What can I get you?
What you know about
Shreveport stuffed shrimp?
I don't know what you mean.
I mean, is it the real thing,
Shreveport-style?
Or, you know, you just
wrote that up on up there?
It's one of our best sellers,
- I tell you that.
- Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.
That ain't what I asked.
I want to know is it authentic?
'Cause, you know,
I'm straight up from The Bottoms,
so I could tell the difference.
It's legit.
Hook that up on up then.
Judge wouldn't give Cross
- a warrant.
- Good. That's that, then.
Maybe, but I doubt it.
My suggestion
is to get the fuck up out of there
and never look back.
While I appreciate the concern,
I'm not going anywhere.
Cross didn't find me, and he won't,
unless I want him to.
Cross ain't likely to let this go,
and you caught a lucky break today.
A smart man would cash that on in.
If you think I got lucky,
then you still don't know me, Bobby.
There you go.
Enjoy.
This don't live up
to the Ratchet City name,
I'm coming back.
And it won't be a
"I want my money back" type problem.
You feel me?
I'm just fucking with you.
[both laughing]
[sighs]
Keep the change, dawg.
Dude is crazy.
I think they killed my dog.
What?
I'm just trying to figure out
how they got my hair.
I bet they're the ones that killed him.
Wait, I'm Someone killed your Bailey?
Why did I not hear about this?
Last time we talked,
you had other priorities.
But it makes sense
that they'd take him out.
His bark could wake
the entire neighborhood.
If Bailey's alive,
they don't get in my house.
You have cameras.
[scoffs] Yeah. Like they helped.
Your colleagues
checked out a car parked nearby.
Nothing.
Well, it might hit different now,
with two of us involved.
You're right.
It has to be a case that we did together.
Do you remember that Jerry Cooper guy?
The St. Patrick's day thing?
He was about to get
a misdemeanor for lewd behavior
until you showed up and got it up to
first-degree sexual assault.
What made him jump to mind?
Brecher gave him the max eight years
and a lifetime on the predator list.
He swore he was coming after you.
Do you remember what he said?
"He ruined my life.
I'm gonna ruin his."
You got evidence that would justify
changing cause of death to murder?
You know about Tavio Lemmons
and Vanessa Norris getting killed, right?
We're talking about Emir Goodspeed.
[Sampson] Right, but they got killed
to cover up what happened to him.
That doesn't do it for you?
Well, not when making that change
could set this city on fire.
And there's other scenarios
more plausible than murder.
Well, like what?
Emir Goodspeed had a long drug history,
both as a seller and a user.
He overdosed on drugs
supplied by Tavio Lemmons.
Oh, but then he called Tavio for help?
I mean, you heard the voicemail.
- We should let De Lackner finish.
- She doesn't have anything to do with this.
I was first detective on, asshole.
[Anderson] Finish.
Tavio Lemmons was killed
by Emir Goodspeed's criminal associates
Emir was clean.
Enough. I've seen the report.
What De Lackner's saying
makes more sense than anything I've heard.
Emir Goodspeed OD'd. It's Vice.
It's not even in your purview anymore.
Tavio Lemmons, Vanessa Norris
they're open homicides.
Feel free to work them.
Period. The end.
Shit, it won't be. It definitely won't be.
Three people murdered.
You want to file this under
another three Black drug-related deaths,
then we're no better than
those protestors outside say we are.
I don't answer to them,
but you answer to me.
Back to work, Detective.

I'm gonna wash that
man right out of my hair ♪
Do you know South Pacific?
My mother used to play the record
at least once a week.
I used to fucking hate it.
Now I know all the words.
I like to sing them.
Why are you doing this to me?
Oh, no, no, no, not to you.
With you.
Together, you and I are gonna create
something so
beautiful.
Please, I
I just want to go home.
[chuckling] Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
Get that thought out of your head.
That thought will just torture you.
I need you to be strong, like Aileen.
I don't know who that is.
[Ramsey chuckles]
Aileen Wuornos.
The world didn't understand her
so they executed her,
just as the world
didn't understand Joan of Arc
when they burned her at the stake.
Aileen was just as inspiring.
She killed seven men.
There was a moment where she took over
a whole stretch of Route 19.
When they finally caught her,
they offered her life in prison, but
[chuckles]
she refused to repent.
So they executed her.
Now, no one is putting up a cross
for Aileen.
But I can do something so much better.
Because I have you.
And you are gonna look terrific
as a blonde.
[Experience Unlimited: "Hey You"]
Hey, you ♪
Can we come together? ♪
Okay, that's too much food, John.
Even for you.
I'm rage eating.
What you so mad about?
Anderson won't change cause of death.
What? Why?
It gets worse, bruh.
De Lackner wrote up some bullshit report.
Whoa, whoa, John. You know I love you,
but you got to watch
your language in here.
My bad, Miss Tana. Won't happen again.
De Lackner's still pissed off
that the case got kicked to us.
Anderson made her write up some report
about 41 Price Street being a drug den.
In Georgetown? Can you believe that shit?
John.
Please don't make me sic EZ on you.
[Cross] Wait, hold on.
De Lackner signed an affidavit?
Yeah, man. [short chuckle]
She's so sour,
she don't want no part of the truth.
Know what?
I think she helped the cause
without even knowing.
[sighs]
This is some first-class bullshit, Alex.
No bullshit at all, Your Honor.
Detective De Lackner
identified this location as a hub
for narcotics activity.
So you're going in there
looking for drugs?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
We plan to coordinate a search
with the Narcotics Suppression Unit.
[chuckles]
Look at you,
keeping a straight face.
Have you always been this good?
Ah, you know,
did a little acting in high school.
"With as little a web as this
I will ensnare as great a fly as Cassio."
Iago?
Get the fuck out of here.
Look at you.
[short chuckle]
Would you like to see?
- No.
- Oh, you really should.
Course, we'll need the roots to grow in
to match Aileen's, and your face
it needs to be fuller.
You can help with that
by eating whatever
I put in front of your face.
If you don't want to do that,
we can always use a feeding tube,
and nobody wants to
What is that?

What is this?!
Stop crying.
You're gonna tell me what that is.
Now. What is that?
I have a condition.
What?
Hey, listen,
Cross got that warrant on Price Street.
Good for him.
Hey, you-you got that motherfucker
cleaned up good, right?
Actually, I'm with a guest right now.
End that.
You need to get out of there right now.
Now!
I don't need to do anything.
In fact, I will
leave the door open for them
because getting to this house
is not the same as getting to me.
Oh, thank you, God.
[police radio chatter]
[dramatic music playing]
I can prove what everything looked like
before you came in.
I have pictures. From-from today.

Hello?
Help!

You know what I love
about the basements in this neighborhood?
They're very old, built with
vaulted brick, three layers thick.
And I added concrete
and 18 inches of soundproofing,
but go ahead.
Give it your best shot.
[both shouting]
[sobs]
Sorry we didn't turn up anything.
Whatever it costs to clean this mess,
- the city is paying for all of it.
- Yo!
Do not follow me any further
or it will get messy. I shit you not.
What's the matter, Sampson?
No blood? No tissue?
No shit.
No drugs either, Shawna.
Despite your thoroughly-written affidavit.
I guess your boy Goodspeed
shot 'em all up.
Hey! Stop trying to put dirt
on a dead man's name.
Cut it. All of you.
Backstabbing motherfucker.
De Lackner, enough of the mean girl shit.
- Okay.
- We all want the same thing.
Solve this case.
You struck out, now go home.
Anderson is furious, John.
Lining up cannons. Get him on track
or get out of the way.

I got a heads up from I.A.
You're in the clear on this one.
The woman's name was Brenda Leeland.
We found a note in her room.
Someone ordered her to kill me?
It gets weirder.
The bullets from her gun
were tampered with.
Nothing but misfires.
So they set her up to be killed.
To be killed by you.
Someone from my past is out to get me.
I don't know who, but I'm doing
everything I can to find out.
Can you do that
and stay on the Goodspeed case?
I-I have to.
Emir's family needs answers
as much as I do.
Good.
'Cause I just put my ass on the line
with Anderson to keep you on the case.
And if you want answers
about Brenda Leeland,
they found her car at the wharf.
[police radio chatter]
Yo.
Are you sure this is Brenda Leeland's car?
We confirmed it, Detective.
Nothing unusual in it, though.
Except for this.
Is that Is that a dress?
That wasn't here yesterday.
It's not Maria's, is it?
No, it's not Maria's.
But I've seen it before.
[typing]
[ominous music playing]
Now, how does a place in that neighborhood
go vacant for months?
I mean, you could rent a park bench
for 200 a night in Georgetown.
Only excuse for that place being empty
is if they were
using it for something else.
Like a like a-a trap.
Well, why wouldn't the neighbors
just call about it and
The man went missing for nine days.
Nine days.
Whoever killed him
they needed time to work on him,
change him like they did.
But if they kept him there the whole time,
there would have been
evidence of that, so
was Emir drugged there,
killed somewhere else?
But no, no, no.
[Malika] You had to cut his hair off, too?
Killing him wasn't enough?
[Massey] What, are you saying
that somebody force-fed Goodspeed
- and then killed him?
- [Wu] Did you know that house
used to be the Egyptian embassy?
And before that, the Second National Bank.
And before that, a brothel.
Automatic blackout blinds.
Every door has a deadbolt that
needs to be keyed, even from the
- [echoing] inside.
- [Wu] And before that, a brothel.
Chris, didn't you say Price Street
used to be a brothel?
You mean before you bit my head off?
Yeah, I did.
Okay, what was the name?

of this session's voting agenda.
What happened to Project Yellowstone?
Did you see it on the agenda?
No, I did not.
Then you know what happened.
I won't do it, Eddie.
I've done too much for you already.
Too much?
Even for a platinum circle donor like me?
There's nothing platinum about you, Eddie.
- Except your money.
- [chuckles]
I keep picturing the hick who showed up
at my office begging for a job.
Didn't know the difference
between DOJ and SEC.
[chuckles] It's still hard
for me to take you seriously.
You took me seriously enough
to ask me to stick hormone shots
in your ass
when you were trying to have a baby at 47.
You were my little bitch back then.
And I'm so proud
of how far you've come, little Eddie.
But understand,
I taught you everything you know.
Not everything I know.
There she is.
There's the Caitlin I know and love.
You're right, I would have done
anything for you back then.
Do you remember the night that
you asked me to go get a box
on K Street? It was in that old attic,
and the ceiling was so low.
They had sprinkled broken glass in tar
and let it dry.
I literally crawled over broken glass
on my hands and knees for you, Caitlin.
- Do you remember that?
- Do you remember when it came out
that you didn't actually graduate
from Wharton?
Which was a federal crime because you lied
- on an application for security clearance.
- [phone buzzing]
And I saved your ass.
There I was, all cut up and bleeding,
and I brought you
a box full of photos and videos.
You couldn't even look inside.
That's how bad it was.
All you said to me was, "Burn it."
In all the years I did your bidding,
that was the only time
you ever said thank you.
Is that why you're coming for me
- I didn't pat you on the back enough?
- No, Caitlin.
I don't need you to stroke me.
I need you to know that I didn't burn it.
And Horace
well, he didn't stop his little hobby.
And every time he takes one of his trips,
I'm there with him, in spirit.
And in video.
Would you like to see one of them?
[dramatic music playing]
I believe the oldest boy
in that one is, um
is 13.
I'll get Yellowstone on the agenda.
Yeah, and you will make sure
that it passes.
You know, maybe it's a good thing that
you and Horace weren't able to have a kid.
He'd probably just be waiting
until it had a hole big enough to fuck.
[phone buzzing]
Have a good day, Caitlin.
What the hell are you doing there?
I've been hollering at you. Cross is back.
- I'm cleaning all this shit up.
- No. Don't touch her.
Cross won't find her there.
He ain't come back
'cause he forgot his keys.
He knows something.
- L-Listen, listen.
- [sobs]
You need to get her out of there. Alive.
I don't need
to do anything.
How sure are you about this?
We're already in some
hot motherfucking water.
Blue Allie's had a secret exit
for their clients and workers
in case they got raided.
I bet it's still there.
[chuckles]
Will this do?
Mm.
Knock, knock.
[panting] Please don't kill me.
Please. Please, I won't say anything,
- I promise
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ain't no sense in begging.
You ain't got no tricks to play nohow.
Hey.
[intriguing music playing]
Okay. Enough.
You can't be here with that.
- Don't warrants expire?
- People do.
♪
You have any idea what you're looking for?
[knocking continues]
Or is this just some Sherlock shit
- you done come up with?
- [door rattles]
- Hit it.
- What? No! Uh
Uh, you can't do that.
Obstructing justice is one thing.
Obstructing me is something else.
- What do you want?
- 2.2 million.
One million.
- [banging nearby]
- Mm. [grunts, chuckles] Ooh, won't be
long now.
One million, Bobby. Best and final.
You said that she's
the last one.
Okay. Okay.
Two million.
- I said 2.2.
- [banging continuing]
2.2 million. It'll be in your account
by the end of the week.
Now, I want Aileen and the book.
I need them both.
Deal.
You got anything you want to say?
- I-I didn't I-I
- Save it.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [grunting]
- [crying]
Help!
Help, please!
Help! Help!
- [screaming]
- Hey! Hey, hey!
Hey! Hey.
Say another motherfucking word.
[up-tempo music playing]
That way.
- [door closes]
- [sirens wailing in distance]
Fuck!
[contemplative music playing]
[Cross] Aw, damn.
John.
Come check this out.
- [Sampson] That's the D.C. Sniper.
- [Cross] Yep.
John Allen Muhammad.
Ted Bundy.
John Wayne Gacy.
These are all serial killers on one side
and victims who look like them
on the other.
[Sampson] Ooh.
He made Emir look like The Sandman.
Yep.
There's only one killer without a match.
Whoever he has now,
we know who she looks like.
- Mm.
- Aileen Wuornos.
[hip-hop music playing in the car]
- [music stops]
- [engine stops]
[whimpers]
Where is she?
Mojo just came along
to discourage any looky-loos.
Voilà.
And the book?
They was breathing down my neck.
I ain't had no time.
So, where is it?
Somewhere between that room
and the street.
Goddamn it. Fuck. Fuck!
[sinister music playing]
- We had a deal.
- And I came through
- with the part that matters.
- [Mojo whimpers]
You can go ahead
and make you another scrapbook.
[chuckles]
What if I killed your dog and said,
"Make another Mojo"?
Is that a threat?
None of it matters
without the book.
And no, it cannot be recreated.
- Do you understand me?
- Are you fucking serious?
If you want your money
get me the book.

Our killer duplicates everything.
This book will be the key to finding him.
What are we calling this freak?
We're calling him The Fanboy.
I don't kill for fun.
I'm not a monster.
- Hands up.
- How'd I know
that you'd come?
[intense music playing]
- You're sure he's The Fanboy?
- Yes.
