Criminal Minds s10e02 Episode Script
Burn
Previously on Criminal Minds - You okay? - Yeah, I'm just really tired.
He had his meds an hour ago.
Yeah, post-op antibiotics.
Carbenicillin? No, that's-that's not right.
I-I have a severe reaction to beta-lactams.
Well, it's not on your chart.
What are you doing? What are you doing? Garcia, he has a gun! You saved my life.
Okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
Amen.
This is not fair.
- They should just kill him! - She's right! Why all the fanfare? Let him burn in Hell! Just do it.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! - Kill him! Kill him! - No! - No! No! Please! - Kill him! Kill him! - Kill him! Kill him! - No! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! I am having nightmares all night, every night, about this, and I know you guys deal with it a lot It's just that I can't just let it happen.
I ha I ca I have to go.
I have Then you should.
You don't think I'm certifiable? You're not mad at me? No.
I'll have Kevin Lynch cover.
You have a lot of vacation time.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You are a terrific boss.
You're a terrific boss.
Just terrific.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So, what'd he say? He said I should go to Texas.
Hotch would never say that.
Okay, he said I have a lot of vacation days, which is kind of the same thing.
- He said you were crazy, Garcia, didn't he? - He didn't, because I am not crazy.
Going to see the man who almost killed you and Reid is way beyond crazy.
He needs to know that I never meant for him to end up on death row.
Greg Baylor is a murderer.
He's there for a reason.
Then lock him up for life, but killing him doesn't bring any of the people that he killed back again, and it's bad karma for everyone.
I've done everything I wrote to the governor on FBI stationery, I called him three times.
You said you had a hookup - with the prosecutor's office - Baby girl, he pled guilty, forfeiting a trial.
He waived all appeals and admitted to numerous other killings.
- The governor is setting an example.
- And Greg Baylor needs to know that I never meant for this to happen.
- So send him a letter.
- I already did that.
I c I can't totally explain it, but I have to go and see him.
Please? I can't talk to Sam about this.
- You have to have my back.
- No.
I don't have your back.
He is a murderer.
He's scum! He tried to kill you wake up.
Let me know when you're done washing his feet.
So, where's Garcia and Morgan? Are they finally having that love child? Heard that.
- Busted.
- Uh, Garcia's taking - some, uh, personal time.
- Is everything okay? I hope it wasn't those burritos we had yesterday.
No, she's fine.
Kevin Lynch will be presenting the case.
Hi-ya.
Hi.
Sorry.
- Where are we going? Seattle, Washington.
Over the past few weeks, two gentlemen between the ages of 35 and 40 have been killed, both with radically different MOs.
First victim, Dan Chen, was strangled and dropped off at the side of the road.
The second victim, Joe Hazley, was run over by a car.
The intimacy of strangulation suggests a personal attack, literally and figuratively.
The need to kill in a hands-on manner.
While crushing someone with a car presents as distance and removal from the kill.
And what makes you think they're connected? Uh, victims' cars were found about two miles from each other, and they have similar mutilation around their mouths.
- And he crosses racial lines.
- Well, if you consider that and the similar geo-profile, maybe we have two different killers.
We could be looking at a team.
- A disorganized one.
- Or the UnSub's just experimenting, trying to figure out - how he or she likes to kill.
- Similar to Herzog - and Shermantine.
- And so we need to get to Seattle quickly.
If he's evolving, he could strike again soon.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Where where am I? What is this place? PI Please please, I'll do I'll do whatever you want.
- Please! - Shh Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here/ Abandon all hope, ye who enter here/ "The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.
" Winston Churchill.
All right, victimology.
Dan Chen had two children; Joe Hazley was single.
First guy was a doctor, and the other was a contractor.
And socially they wouldn't overlap.
Well, they may have professionally.
One could have been a patient.
The doctor could have hired the contractor.
No, I already checked into that.
They didn't know each other.
So they were victims of opportunity.
Well, why change from strangulation to running over victims in a car? Well, he seems impulsive, which implies he's young and inexperienced.
Mm, but he had to have the strength to pull this off, - so it probably means Um - excuse me, Agent Hotchner? - What is it? A third victim, Michael Richmond, was just found about four miles from where they found - the last victim.
- How was he killed? He drowned.
They found his discarded body on Aurora Avenue.
And he had oral mutilation.
That's near the last victim's abduction site.
Just as we thought the UnSub's moving quickly.
- This could be a spree.
- All right, when we land, Dave, you and Kate go to the last abduction site, Morgan and Reid to the M.
E.
, and JJ and I'll talk to the families.
Hey, what's going on with Penelope? Reid, I'll talk to you more about that - when we're alone, all right? - Is she okay? She isn't sick, is she? That really depends on your definition of sick.
Going to see your boo? No, not No boo.
Mm-mm.
Girl, ain't no way you're going up there wearing some flower hose and not trying to get some.
It's complicated.
Trust me.
You want to hear complicated, honey? My boo is my baby dad's ex.
Ex-girlfriend? No.
Ex-boyfriend.
- Damn! What's he in for? - Armed robbery.
But he ain't killed nobody he just drove the car.
Oh.
Okay.
But, you know, it's a good thing we're going up there today.
'Cause tomorrow they're frying somebody.
But don't trip.
The day after, you can come back and see that boo who I know you're denying is really your boo.
No, wait You know I'm not one to ask the FBI for assistance, but this was strange.
We're here to help in any way we can.
First two victims' families should be here shortly.
Have you interviewed the drowning victim's family? We have officers doing that now.
He's a father of two.
Poor kids.
We'll need to talk to his family.
Of course.
We'll set you guys up in here.
- You have a suspect? - We're putting together a profile.
Well, shouldn't we hold a press conference? - Well, we don't want to tip our hand.
- But we also don't want - this madman to go crazy.
- Well, unfortunately, we're a little past that.
We'll come up with a media strategy once we have more information.
We'll see what we get from the family interviews.
All the victims had different CODs.
Strangulation severe crush injuries, and finally drowning.
The last victim's hands and legs were bound before the UnSub forcibly submerged him.
They all have contusions on their heads.
And it looks like he blitz-attacks them or hits them when they try to fight back.
There was no DNA or trace evidence found.
You get the tox screen back? Nothing out of the ordinary in their systems.
However, I did find some slash marks - on the roofs of their mouths.
- Slash marks? We thought it was random mutilation.
Whoa.
What is it? It's not slashes it look looks like Roman numerals.
- What? - Look.
That's the number three.
Joe Hazley's body is downstairs.
We'll need to see it.
Reid, what about this guy? It looks like Roman numeral five.
So then we may not be looking at victims one, two and three.
We're probably looking at three, four and five.
Which means there are two more bodies out there.
All right, I'll have Kevin look into past homicides in the area, see if any match the MO.
- One, two, three, four - One.
- Five, six, seven, eight, nine - Two.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven - Three.
- Four.
Five.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven - Six.
Seven.
Eight.
- One, two, three, four, five - Nine/ - Nine.
They ran over him in a car? A car? Who would do that? Why Joe? Does your brother have any enemies? Not at all.
Okay, um, has he had any run-ins with colleagues or exes? No.
Joe wasn't like that.
He was a mediator, you know? The guy at the party who makes sure everyone's having fun.
If you needed ten dollars, he'd give you $20.
Even with his Little Brother from that program, he treated him like blood.
So he volunteered as a Big Brother? Yes.
He could be tough on Jose.
But that kid went from getting Cs to As thanks to Joe.
How old is Jose? When he finds out what happened, it's gonna kill him.
- You get anything? - No enemies, seemed loved.
Yeah, same with Dan Chen.
His wife said he was a good father to the twin 13-year-olds, the boys said he was tough - but fair.
- That could be our connection.
Joe Hazley was mentoring a kid the same age who he was also tough on.
Well, Mike Richmond had a son about the same age, too.
They had an argument about an hour before he went missing.
Maybe our UnSub has something against strict paternal figures with boys in that age group.
Name.
Penelope Garcia.
I'm here to see Greg Baylor.
You're not on the list.
Next.
Wait, no, I-I'm from the FBI, - I left a message.
- Oh, yeah, that Garcia.
He said he didn't want to see you.
- Next.
- No.
I-I came here all the way from Quantico, he can't just not want to see me.
I have something I have to tell him.
He's on death row.
I understand where he is and I also understand the Constitution.
And Mr.
Baylor still has rights, which he has decided to exercise.
- Next.
- Okay, okay.
Uh, I Can I leave him a note? - You can try.
- Okay, can I borrow your pen? Over there.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Next! So this is where Mike Richmond was abducted.
The road is highly trafficked, but this stretch seems pretty empty.
Our UnSub probably followed him.
Yeah, so how did he lure them out of their vehicles? 'Cause they'd be on alert out here.
He bumps them as they cross the intersection, then they pull over, thinking they were in an accident.
Like a bump and rob.
But this turned into a bump and abduct.
You know, I had a rapist once who liked to bump and rape right there on the side of the road.
And no one saw? And if they did, they kept going.
You know, I'm convinced most people don't pay attention these days.
If it doesn't happen on the phone, it doesn't exist.
I planned that for effect.
Why don't you answer that? It's Garcia.
I don't know what to tell her, Reid.
She's going to see Greg Baylor before he gets executed.
Go figure.
It's PTSD.
Her nightmares are PTSD, Reid.
She's taking this to a whole nother level.
You know Garcia she carries a laptop, not a gun.
She can't even look at crime scene photos without needing pictures of panda bears to counterbalance 'em.
I tried to walk her back from the ledge, but I think she's already jumped.
I was like that after I shot the LDSK.
Phillip Dowd? First I felt nothing.
And then Gideon was right, it just hit me.
I started to obsess.
Looked up photos of him when he was in the Rangers.
I studied cases he worked when he was a cop, I even patients he treated while he was a nurse.
Why? I just just wanted to get inside of him.
You know? I wanted to try to understand why our paths crossed and see if there was some way that he could've been stopped before I came along.
What made you finally move on? All the people he killed.
I put their photos on my wall.
They had lives, too.
If this guy followed our victims and used a ruse, then he's not - just acting on impulse.
- No, it's organized victimology.
The father figures are likely surrogates for his own.
There were Roman numerals carved into the roofs of their mouths, which is highly symbolic.
- And ritualistic.
- With numbers three, four and five already found, it suggests we're missing - two earlier victims.
- Kevin's - looking into it.
- Considering the ruse, the UnSub is extremely controlled, but his MO doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, we need to figure out its meaning, because he's not gonna stop until we do.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Come on, man.
Hey, please.
Look, I didn't mean to hit him.
Look, I was just trying to teach him a lesson of right and wrong.
You can understand that, can't y Hey.
What's wrong with you? Come on, let me out of here.
What are you doing? You serious? Come on, let me out of here.
Please.
Listen Hey, come on.
Hey, hey No! God, no! Come on, listen! Listen, listen, listen, come on.
I love my family, please.
Please, please, please.
Please.
Hey, wh-what are you doing? Come on.
Oh, my God.
Oh, geez Hey, come on, stop! Oh, God.
No! - Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- One, two, three, - four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
- Abandon all hope, - ye who enter here.
- One, two, three, four, five, six No Oh, come on, oh, no, no! Let me out of here! - No.
Oh, my God.
- BOYS: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
One, two, three, four, five, six Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
No! Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Nine/ Hey, this is Derek Morgan.
Please leave a message.
Chocolate Mousse? It's-It's Baby Girl.
Hi.
Clearly we're both into S and M, because you've been dodging my calls for the last 24 hours and I keep calling you although you keep dodging my calls.
Look, I know we parted mad, and you think I'm Nutter Butter for coming here, and you're right, because now I'm here and he doesn't want to see me.
He doesn't want to see me, Derek.
How can I make things better if he doesn't want to see me? So now I'm here at this motel, I'm trying not to look at the stains on the bedspread, and I'm wrestling with the fact that I have egg on my face and I'm sorry.
No, you know what? He's sorry.
He's gonna be sorry, 'cause he's not hanging out with me.
That's what I don't even know what I'm saying.
See? I need to talk to you.
Call me back.
Please? Derek? You have a collect call from Baldrige State Correctional Facility.
If you would like to accept the charges, please press one.
This is Greg Baylor.
Oh, my gosh.
It's you.
H-Hi.
How are you? I mean That's a dumb question.
Today at 2:00.
Okay.
Okay, today at 2:00.
This UnSub's truly evolving, - switching to fire.
- This guy's the king of the changing MO.
He might just be getting more forensically sophisticated.
Fire destroys most trace evidence.
Kevin just found two homicides in the city from the last eight weeks which might fit our UnSub's MO.
Were they in the comfort zone? have Roman numerals one and two in their mouths.
The first one was asphyxiated by gas, - and the other electrocuted.
- So that probably makes him number six.
But why burn him in a box? You know, it's shaped more like a casket.
What's the symbolism? Maybe this is how he wanted to see the man who's at the center of his rage.
Because he's probably in the sixth circle.
Circle of what? Dan Chen was found in the mud.
The other guy was crushed to death.
I-I don't think these are random MOs.
This UnSub's recreating the circles of Hell.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- Abandon all hope.
- Abandon all hope.
- Abandon all hope.
We believe the UnSub we're looking for is a male between the ages of 35 and 40, who's killing parental figures based on his need for revenge and punishment.
He's designed his MO to recreate Dante's nine circles of Hell.
The Inferno is the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Within it, he describes the sinners he'd encounter in each circle of Hell and the punishments they'd endure.
The first circle was for those who didn't accept God, therefore lived in limbo, punished by a blinding fog.
Our first victim was found gassed in his apartment.
The second circle was for those guilty of lust, who'd be blown around in a violent storm.
No! No! Therefore, our second victim was tied to a fence and electrocuted.
The third circle was gluttony, where sinners would be rained on and wallow in mud.
Our next victim was found strangled on the side of the road, covered in dirt.
Our fourth victim was crushed, like the punishment in the next circle, reserved for greed.
Uh, the fifth circle's wrath, where sinners were drowned in swampy water, which is exactly what happened to the next victim.
In the sixth, heretics were trapped in a burning tomb, like our most recent victim.
And the next three circles are just as vicious.
Our UnSub killed all the way through the sixth circle and marked his victims accordingly.
But his victims haven't committed the sins associated with each ring, which suggests that the killings are symbolic of the father figure who hurt him in the past.
In the poem, Dante traveled with the poet Virgil, who assured him he would enter Paradise if he completed his journey.
Consequently, we believe our UnSub is metaphorically taking this journey with someone else.
I will help you.
I will help you.
- I will help you.
- His Virgil is most likely a sibling that suffered the same fate at the hand of an abusive father.
This man's patient.
We also think he's an academic.
He stalks his victims, and after watching them discipline a child, he waits until what he considers the appropriate moment to kill them.
We believe he will continue with the final three circles until he feels completely avenged.
Four cavities.
Do you know how much that cost me? - I've been brushing my teeth.
- Bull! - -All you do is eat candy and play video games.
You're grounded for two weeks, and you're not going to the ball game on Saturday.
- Where are we? - The victims' automobiles were found right here.
And that is where all the victims were last seen prior to the abductions.
So he's able to move around freely.
All right, we need to get back to the poem.
An UnSub this committed to a body of work isn't killing out of the blue.
Maybe he'd obsess over the poem, maybe even write about it before acting it out.
- Create a manifesto? - Yeah.
Or at least be literary enough to post his thoughts.
Kevin, what did you come up with on people posting online rants about Dante's Inferno? There are over 80 people in the past week.
Subtract high school kids.
We're not looking for screeds about homework.
Uh, we got five in the state, my friend.
Any in the comfort zone? One.
What's his name? Uh, Nathan Chow.
He's a student at Puget College.
He posted a blog about killing people at his school using Dante's nine circles of Hell.
- When did he do it? - A week before the first murder.
He's a little younger than our profile.
What if he's our Virgil? When we catch him, we catch our UnSub.
Send us the address.
All right.
Nathan Chow, FBI.
One, two.
Clear.
Explosives? - That's not circle seven.
- No, but suicide is one of the inner circles of seven.
This could be the endgame.
Nathan? You're under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney and have him present while you're being questioned.
Thank you for agreeing to see me.
How are you? That's a dumb question.
You look good.
I mean, you look good, especially considering Is this place as bad as it seems? They could use some paint.
I'm nervous.
I can't stop talking.
I'm sorry.
Look, I know you got my letter.
And I know you tried to hurt me and my friend, but I need you to know I never meant for this to happen, for you to end up on death row.
I tried to stop this.
- You tried to stop this? - Yes.
I called the governor.
I wrote him a letter.
You had a horrible upbringing.
This isn't you.
Why are you really here? I-I need you to know I'm in your corner.
Bull.
You're not here for me.
You're here for yourself.
That's not entirely true.
Of course it is.
You don't know me.
Oh, I know you.
Trust me.
- Oh, so you want me to forgive you.
- No.
Then you want me to say that I'm a bad man, I love killing, and I deserve this? - No.
- Then what the hell is it? Huh? 'Cause I'm done talking.
I'm done feeling guilty.
I got ten hours left to breathe, and the last thing I need is some freaky woman coming up in here with her liberal guilt trying to change things.
I'm a killer.
You can't change that.
I did it.
I killed them.
- All six of them? - Yes.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
" Dante had that much of an effect on you, huh? You figured by taking your victims through Hell, you'd relieve some kind of pain.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
" How did you choose the six victims? Were they random, or did they have meaning to you? Evil isn't random.
It's quite precise.
You made a list and started killing.
No.
They chose their fates.
We're all evil.
Men and women? Evil doesn't discriminate.
So let's enter through the gates of Hell and talk about the first killing.
You replicated the first circle? I put her in a fog, and I strangled her.
Actually, you chained him in his apartment and left the oven on.
All the victims were male, Nathan.
- "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" -Nathan, we know you're working with someone.
Who are you protecting? "ye who enter here.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- Abandon all hope" Nathan, stop stonewalling us.
You're his Virgil, aren't you? No.
I'm Dante.
I'm Dante.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye" Okay, why is he taking credit for killings he clearly didn't do? - Ego, maybe.
- In the poem, Dante and Virgil had roles from which they didn't stray.
This UnSub and his Virgil would do the same thing.
- So who's this kid? - I don't know, - but he's got some relationship with the UnSub.
- Guys, with circles seven, eight, and nine left, we're running out of time.
We need to dig more deeply - into Nathan's life.
- Okay.
I think we're getting off to an icky start.
No, I'm done.
You should go.
- But - There's nothing that you can say.
Then why did you agree to see me? I'm not a friend.
I'm not family.
Oh, is that it? They didn't come? I'm the only one who showed up? Shut up.
If I was wrong, you would have called the guard over here by now.
And you're afraid.
As tough as you're acting right now, this is the scariest.
And you don't want to die.
I deserve this.
Then why the heck did you call me? Because I don't want to die alone.
Oh.
I can't.
Why? For a lot of reasons.
I-I hate I hate I-I don't like blood.
It's an injection.
There's got to be someone out there No, you were right.
I got nobody.
Nobody came to visit me.
Nobody called.
You're the only human who reached out to me, in your letter.
Well, maybe the governor will still grant you a stay.
But if he doesn't then I want somebody there.
I'm scared.
I I don't know.
Then I was right.
You're not here for me.
You're here for yourself.
Hey.
No - Take me out.
- No, wait.
Wait.
- Take me back.
- I'm done.
- Greg.
Greg.
No Greg.
No, Greg, wait.
Greg.
I didn't mean Plea Could we? Greg.
Greg.
Uh, no one in Nathan's life fits the profile.
You check people in his high school classes? Nah.
Still coming up empty.
All right, I've got Nathan's copy of the Inferno with detailed notes, but the edition is from 1986.
And if Nathan was in high school two years ago, he would have had a more recent edition.
Is there a J.
Leu - anywhere in Nathan's life? - Uh, yeah.
There's a-a Justin Leu.
He was Nathan's high school AP English teacher.
If you give a kid an early edition of a book, it's because you had a bond.
Oh, in Nathan's digital yearbook, he says that Mr.
Leu was the only reason he got through high school.
He took his class twice.
Is Mr.
Leu still in the school system? Yeah, he's been there for years.
And from the looks of it, he's a very tough teacher.
Oh, and please remember your Paradise Lost papers are due next Friday.
Don't forget.
Thank you.
Mr.
Leu, you can't give me a "B.
" - Well, that's what you got.
- If I come home with a "B," my dad's gonna kill me.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
What do we know about Leu's family? The mom passed away of cancer when Justin was ten.
Father started spiraling.
Let me see, Justin.
You got a "B"? Todd, what did you get? A B-minus.
How many hours did you study? - Dad.
- You don't deserve to eat or sleep.
- But, Dad, I - Shut up! Quit going to church, started drinking.
Uh, he was very abusive.
Social Services said that he often locked the kids in the shed.
Was the father violent with both boys? Yes, but according to Child Protective Services, Mr.
Leu's older brother, Todd, got the worst of it.
Justin, you shouldn't be here.
It's going to be okay.
It's going to be okay.
Remember, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
" Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
And where is the brother now? Todd? Todd? Todd?! Todd?! Todd?! He committed suicide.
- Dad?! Dad? - REID: So, that's who his Virgil is, his brother.
He's metaphorically going on this journey with him.
Maybe the father committed the sins found within the nine circles.
An "A"? Are you serious? Thanks.
Is the father still alive? No, he passed away a couple months ago.
Justin inherited his house.
- That's what triggered All right, Kevin, send us the school address, the home address, - and his father's address.
- Sent.
Why am I out here? What do you want from me? Please.
Please.
Please.
What are you doing? - Just paying you back.
- You idiot! Shut up, Dad! I'm not your dad.
What are you doing? Are you stupid? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Say it again.
Abandon all hope You are weak, just like your brother.
Please, don't hurt me! You think this is painful? Wait till you get to Hell! Uh-oh, okay, thanks.
Hotch and Rossi just left the school; Justin's not there.
- What about at his apartment? - It's empty, too.
He has to be headed to his father's house.
Please! I'll I'll do whatever you want! I just want you to be nice.
We're not perfect.
We're not perfect! - No, you're dumb! - Be quiet! A "B" in math? A "B" minus in English? Shut up.
You and your brother are lazy.
No.
Be quiet.
You should've both died back then.
FBI! - FBI! Don't do it! - Get away! Drop that gun! You've killed enough.
- I'm not finished.
- Please! Help me! Killing him's not gonna help you.
I need to finish this journey.
But you skipped number seven and went right to eight, Justin.
Part of seven was suicide.
You were gonna try and complete the circles and save that for yourself.
You don't know me.
You thought that, by killing yourself, it would even the score.
But your brother didn't commit suicide because he couldn't live up to your grades, Justin.
He was depressed.
No, it's my fault.
It's my fault! It was your father's.
If he'd have gotten your brother the help he needed, none of this would have happened.
Listen to her, Justin.
Think about it.
Come on, now.
It's over.
Put that gun down.
Don't let your father destroy you more than he already has.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm sorry I'm sorry.
Hey, this is Derek Morgan.
Please leave a message.
Derek, pick up the phone! I need to talk to you.
I went to go see him.
This whole thing is a mess.
I made things worse by coming here.
I thought I would come and, you know, be an uplifter.
I'm an uplifter.
Even on Death Row, I wanted to be an uplifter.
I wanted to change things, but I can't change it.
I can't fix it, because it's already in motion.
And now I'm here alone.
And I know I made my choices to get here, but I need you right now.
I don't even know what I need.
I need you to see me.
I need you to witness me as I go through this.
I need I need to know you're out there while I'm going through this.
That's what I need.
On the gate! Is there anything you want to say? Thank you.

He had his meds an hour ago.
Yeah, post-op antibiotics.
Carbenicillin? No, that's-that's not right.
I-I have a severe reaction to beta-lactams.
Well, it's not on your chart.
What are you doing? What are you doing? Garcia, he has a gun! You saved my life.
Okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
Amen.
This is not fair.
- They should just kill him! - She's right! Why all the fanfare? Let him burn in Hell! Just do it.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! - Kill him! Kill him! - No! - No! No! Please! - Kill him! Kill him! - Kill him! Kill him! - No! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! I am having nightmares all night, every night, about this, and I know you guys deal with it a lot It's just that I can't just let it happen.
I ha I ca I have to go.
I have Then you should.
You don't think I'm certifiable? You're not mad at me? No.
I'll have Kevin Lynch cover.
You have a lot of vacation time.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You are a terrific boss.
You're a terrific boss.
Just terrific.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So, what'd he say? He said I should go to Texas.
Hotch would never say that.
Okay, he said I have a lot of vacation days, which is kind of the same thing.
- He said you were crazy, Garcia, didn't he? - He didn't, because I am not crazy.
Going to see the man who almost killed you and Reid is way beyond crazy.
He needs to know that I never meant for him to end up on death row.
Greg Baylor is a murderer.
He's there for a reason.
Then lock him up for life, but killing him doesn't bring any of the people that he killed back again, and it's bad karma for everyone.
I've done everything I wrote to the governor on FBI stationery, I called him three times.
You said you had a hookup - with the prosecutor's office - Baby girl, he pled guilty, forfeiting a trial.
He waived all appeals and admitted to numerous other killings.
- The governor is setting an example.
- And Greg Baylor needs to know that I never meant for this to happen.
- So send him a letter.
- I already did that.
I c I can't totally explain it, but I have to go and see him.
Please? I can't talk to Sam about this.
- You have to have my back.
- No.
I don't have your back.
He is a murderer.
He's scum! He tried to kill you wake up.
Let me know when you're done washing his feet.
So, where's Garcia and Morgan? Are they finally having that love child? Heard that.
- Busted.
- Uh, Garcia's taking - some, uh, personal time.
- Is everything okay? I hope it wasn't those burritos we had yesterday.
No, she's fine.
Kevin Lynch will be presenting the case.
Hi-ya.
Hi.
Sorry.
- Where are we going? Seattle, Washington.
Over the past few weeks, two gentlemen between the ages of 35 and 40 have been killed, both with radically different MOs.
First victim, Dan Chen, was strangled and dropped off at the side of the road.
The second victim, Joe Hazley, was run over by a car.
The intimacy of strangulation suggests a personal attack, literally and figuratively.
The need to kill in a hands-on manner.
While crushing someone with a car presents as distance and removal from the kill.
And what makes you think they're connected? Uh, victims' cars were found about two miles from each other, and they have similar mutilation around their mouths.
- And he crosses racial lines.
- Well, if you consider that and the similar geo-profile, maybe we have two different killers.
We could be looking at a team.
- A disorganized one.
- Or the UnSub's just experimenting, trying to figure out - how he or she likes to kill.
- Similar to Herzog - and Shermantine.
- And so we need to get to Seattle quickly.
If he's evolving, he could strike again soon.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Where where am I? What is this place? PI Please please, I'll do I'll do whatever you want.
- Please! - Shh Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here/ Abandon all hope, ye who enter here/ "The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.
" Winston Churchill.
All right, victimology.
Dan Chen had two children; Joe Hazley was single.
First guy was a doctor, and the other was a contractor.
And socially they wouldn't overlap.
Well, they may have professionally.
One could have been a patient.
The doctor could have hired the contractor.
No, I already checked into that.
They didn't know each other.
So they were victims of opportunity.
Well, why change from strangulation to running over victims in a car? Well, he seems impulsive, which implies he's young and inexperienced.
Mm, but he had to have the strength to pull this off, - so it probably means Um - excuse me, Agent Hotchner? - What is it? A third victim, Michael Richmond, was just found about four miles from where they found - the last victim.
- How was he killed? He drowned.
They found his discarded body on Aurora Avenue.
And he had oral mutilation.
That's near the last victim's abduction site.
Just as we thought the UnSub's moving quickly.
- This could be a spree.
- All right, when we land, Dave, you and Kate go to the last abduction site, Morgan and Reid to the M.
E.
, and JJ and I'll talk to the families.
Hey, what's going on with Penelope? Reid, I'll talk to you more about that - when we're alone, all right? - Is she okay? She isn't sick, is she? That really depends on your definition of sick.
Going to see your boo? No, not No boo.
Mm-mm.
Girl, ain't no way you're going up there wearing some flower hose and not trying to get some.
It's complicated.
Trust me.
You want to hear complicated, honey? My boo is my baby dad's ex.
Ex-girlfriend? No.
Ex-boyfriend.
- Damn! What's he in for? - Armed robbery.
But he ain't killed nobody he just drove the car.
Oh.
Okay.
But, you know, it's a good thing we're going up there today.
'Cause tomorrow they're frying somebody.
But don't trip.
The day after, you can come back and see that boo who I know you're denying is really your boo.
No, wait You know I'm not one to ask the FBI for assistance, but this was strange.
We're here to help in any way we can.
First two victims' families should be here shortly.
Have you interviewed the drowning victim's family? We have officers doing that now.
He's a father of two.
Poor kids.
We'll need to talk to his family.
Of course.
We'll set you guys up in here.
- You have a suspect? - We're putting together a profile.
Well, shouldn't we hold a press conference? - Well, we don't want to tip our hand.
- But we also don't want - this madman to go crazy.
- Well, unfortunately, we're a little past that.
We'll come up with a media strategy once we have more information.
We'll see what we get from the family interviews.
All the victims had different CODs.
Strangulation severe crush injuries, and finally drowning.
The last victim's hands and legs were bound before the UnSub forcibly submerged him.
They all have contusions on their heads.
And it looks like he blitz-attacks them or hits them when they try to fight back.
There was no DNA or trace evidence found.
You get the tox screen back? Nothing out of the ordinary in their systems.
However, I did find some slash marks - on the roofs of their mouths.
- Slash marks? We thought it was random mutilation.
Whoa.
What is it? It's not slashes it look looks like Roman numerals.
- What? - Look.
That's the number three.
Joe Hazley's body is downstairs.
We'll need to see it.
Reid, what about this guy? It looks like Roman numeral five.
So then we may not be looking at victims one, two and three.
We're probably looking at three, four and five.
Which means there are two more bodies out there.
All right, I'll have Kevin look into past homicides in the area, see if any match the MO.
- One, two, three, four - One.
- Five, six, seven, eight, nine - Two.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven - Three.
- Four.
Five.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven - Six.
Seven.
Eight.
- One, two, three, four, five - Nine/ - Nine.
They ran over him in a car? A car? Who would do that? Why Joe? Does your brother have any enemies? Not at all.
Okay, um, has he had any run-ins with colleagues or exes? No.
Joe wasn't like that.
He was a mediator, you know? The guy at the party who makes sure everyone's having fun.
If you needed ten dollars, he'd give you $20.
Even with his Little Brother from that program, he treated him like blood.
So he volunteered as a Big Brother? Yes.
He could be tough on Jose.
But that kid went from getting Cs to As thanks to Joe.
How old is Jose? When he finds out what happened, it's gonna kill him.
- You get anything? - No enemies, seemed loved.
Yeah, same with Dan Chen.
His wife said he was a good father to the twin 13-year-olds, the boys said he was tough - but fair.
- That could be our connection.
Joe Hazley was mentoring a kid the same age who he was also tough on.
Well, Mike Richmond had a son about the same age, too.
They had an argument about an hour before he went missing.
Maybe our UnSub has something against strict paternal figures with boys in that age group.
Name.
Penelope Garcia.
I'm here to see Greg Baylor.
You're not on the list.
Next.
Wait, no, I-I'm from the FBI, - I left a message.
- Oh, yeah, that Garcia.
He said he didn't want to see you.
- Next.
- No.
I-I came here all the way from Quantico, he can't just not want to see me.
I have something I have to tell him.
He's on death row.
I understand where he is and I also understand the Constitution.
And Mr.
Baylor still has rights, which he has decided to exercise.
- Next.
- Okay, okay.
Uh, I Can I leave him a note? - You can try.
- Okay, can I borrow your pen? Over there.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Next! So this is where Mike Richmond was abducted.
The road is highly trafficked, but this stretch seems pretty empty.
Our UnSub probably followed him.
Yeah, so how did he lure them out of their vehicles? 'Cause they'd be on alert out here.
He bumps them as they cross the intersection, then they pull over, thinking they were in an accident.
Like a bump and rob.
But this turned into a bump and abduct.
You know, I had a rapist once who liked to bump and rape right there on the side of the road.
And no one saw? And if they did, they kept going.
You know, I'm convinced most people don't pay attention these days.
If it doesn't happen on the phone, it doesn't exist.
I planned that for effect.
Why don't you answer that? It's Garcia.
I don't know what to tell her, Reid.
She's going to see Greg Baylor before he gets executed.
Go figure.
It's PTSD.
Her nightmares are PTSD, Reid.
She's taking this to a whole nother level.
You know Garcia she carries a laptop, not a gun.
She can't even look at crime scene photos without needing pictures of panda bears to counterbalance 'em.
I tried to walk her back from the ledge, but I think she's already jumped.
I was like that after I shot the LDSK.
Phillip Dowd? First I felt nothing.
And then Gideon was right, it just hit me.
I started to obsess.
Looked up photos of him when he was in the Rangers.
I studied cases he worked when he was a cop, I even patients he treated while he was a nurse.
Why? I just just wanted to get inside of him.
You know? I wanted to try to understand why our paths crossed and see if there was some way that he could've been stopped before I came along.
What made you finally move on? All the people he killed.
I put their photos on my wall.
They had lives, too.
If this guy followed our victims and used a ruse, then he's not - just acting on impulse.
- No, it's organized victimology.
The father figures are likely surrogates for his own.
There were Roman numerals carved into the roofs of their mouths, which is highly symbolic.
- And ritualistic.
- With numbers three, four and five already found, it suggests we're missing - two earlier victims.
- Kevin's - looking into it.
- Considering the ruse, the UnSub is extremely controlled, but his MO doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, we need to figure out its meaning, because he's not gonna stop until we do.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Come on, man.
Hey, please.
Look, I didn't mean to hit him.
Look, I was just trying to teach him a lesson of right and wrong.
You can understand that, can't y Hey.
What's wrong with you? Come on, let me out of here.
What are you doing? You serious? Come on, let me out of here.
Please.
Listen Hey, come on.
Hey, hey No! God, no! Come on, listen! Listen, listen, listen, come on.
I love my family, please.
Please, please, please.
Please.
Hey, wh-what are you doing? Come on.
Oh, my God.
Oh, geez Hey, come on, stop! Oh, God.
No! - Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- One, two, three, - four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
- Abandon all hope, - ye who enter here.

Nine/ Hey, this is Derek Morgan.
Please leave a message.
Chocolate Mousse? It's-It's Baby Girl.
Hi.
Clearly we're both into S and M, because you've been dodging my calls for the last 24 hours and I keep calling you although you keep dodging my calls.
Look, I know we parted mad, and you think I'm Nutter Butter for coming here, and you're right, because now I'm here and he doesn't want to see me.
He doesn't want to see me, Derek.
How can I make things better if he doesn't want to see me? So now I'm here at this motel, I'm trying not to look at the stains on the bedspread, and I'm wrestling with the fact that I have egg on my face and I'm sorry.
No, you know what? He's sorry.
He's gonna be sorry, 'cause he's not hanging out with me.
That's what I don't even know what I'm saying.
See? I need to talk to you.
Call me back.
Please? Derek? You have a collect call from Baldrige State Correctional Facility.
If you would like to accept the charges, please press one.
This is Greg Baylor.
Oh, my gosh.
It's you.
H-Hi.
How are you? I mean That's a dumb question.
Today at 2:00.
Okay.
Okay, today at 2:00.
This UnSub's truly evolving, - switching to fire.
- This guy's the king of the changing MO.
He might just be getting more forensically sophisticated.
Fire destroys most trace evidence.
Kevin just found two homicides in the city from the last eight weeks which might fit our UnSub's MO.
Were they in the comfort zone? have Roman numerals one and two in their mouths.
The first one was asphyxiated by gas, - and the other electrocuted.
- So that probably makes him number six.
But why burn him in a box? You know, it's shaped more like a casket.
What's the symbolism? Maybe this is how he wanted to see the man who's at the center of his rage.
Because he's probably in the sixth circle.
Circle of what? Dan Chen was found in the mud.
The other guy was crushed to death.
I-I don't think these are random MOs.
This UnSub's recreating the circles of Hell.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- Abandon all hope.
- Abandon all hope.
- Abandon all hope.
We believe the UnSub we're looking for is a male between the ages of 35 and 40, who's killing parental figures based on his need for revenge and punishment.
He's designed his MO to recreate Dante's nine circles of Hell.
The Inferno is the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Within it, he describes the sinners he'd encounter in each circle of Hell and the punishments they'd endure.
The first circle was for those who didn't accept God, therefore lived in limbo, punished by a blinding fog.
Our first victim was found gassed in his apartment.
The second circle was for those guilty of lust, who'd be blown around in a violent storm.
No! No! Therefore, our second victim was tied to a fence and electrocuted.
The third circle was gluttony, where sinners would be rained on and wallow in mud.
Our next victim was found strangled on the side of the road, covered in dirt.
Our fourth victim was crushed, like the punishment in the next circle, reserved for greed.
Uh, the fifth circle's wrath, where sinners were drowned in swampy water, which is exactly what happened to the next victim.
In the sixth, heretics were trapped in a burning tomb, like our most recent victim.
And the next three circles are just as vicious.
Our UnSub killed all the way through the sixth circle and marked his victims accordingly.
But his victims haven't committed the sins associated with each ring, which suggests that the killings are symbolic of the father figure who hurt him in the past.
In the poem, Dante traveled with the poet Virgil, who assured him he would enter Paradise if he completed his journey.
Consequently, we believe our UnSub is metaphorically taking this journey with someone else.
I will help you.
I will help you.
- I will help you.
- His Virgil is most likely a sibling that suffered the same fate at the hand of an abusive father.
This man's patient.
We also think he's an academic.
He stalks his victims, and after watching them discipline a child, he waits until what he considers the appropriate moment to kill them.
We believe he will continue with the final three circles until he feels completely avenged.
Four cavities.
Do you know how much that cost me? - I've been brushing my teeth.
- Bull! - -All you do is eat candy and play video games.
You're grounded for two weeks, and you're not going to the ball game on Saturday.
- Where are we? - The victims' automobiles were found right here.
And that is where all the victims were last seen prior to the abductions.
So he's able to move around freely.
All right, we need to get back to the poem.
An UnSub this committed to a body of work isn't killing out of the blue.
Maybe he'd obsess over the poem, maybe even write about it before acting it out.
- Create a manifesto? - Yeah.
Or at least be literary enough to post his thoughts.
Kevin, what did you come up with on people posting online rants about Dante's Inferno? There are over 80 people in the past week.
Subtract high school kids.
We're not looking for screeds about homework.
Uh, we got five in the state, my friend.
Any in the comfort zone? One.
What's his name? Uh, Nathan Chow.
He's a student at Puget College.
He posted a blog about killing people at his school using Dante's nine circles of Hell.
- When did he do it? - A week before the first murder.
He's a little younger than our profile.
What if he's our Virgil? When we catch him, we catch our UnSub.
Send us the address.
All right.
Nathan Chow, FBI.
One, two.
Clear.
Explosives? - That's not circle seven.
- No, but suicide is one of the inner circles of seven.
This could be the endgame.
Nathan? You're under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney and have him present while you're being questioned.
Thank you for agreeing to see me.
How are you? That's a dumb question.
You look good.
I mean, you look good, especially considering Is this place as bad as it seems? They could use some paint.
I'm nervous.
I can't stop talking.
I'm sorry.
Look, I know you got my letter.
And I know you tried to hurt me and my friend, but I need you to know I never meant for this to happen, for you to end up on death row.
I tried to stop this.
- You tried to stop this? - Yes.
I called the governor.
I wrote him a letter.
You had a horrible upbringing.
This isn't you.
Why are you really here? I-I need you to know I'm in your corner.
Bull.
You're not here for me.
You're here for yourself.
That's not entirely true.
Of course it is.
You don't know me.
Oh, I know you.
Trust me.
- Oh, so you want me to forgive you.
- No.
Then you want me to say that I'm a bad man, I love killing, and I deserve this? - No.
- Then what the hell is it? Huh? 'Cause I'm done talking.
I'm done feeling guilty.
I got ten hours left to breathe, and the last thing I need is some freaky woman coming up in here with her liberal guilt trying to change things.
I'm a killer.
You can't change that.
I did it.
I killed them.
- All six of them? - Yes.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
" Dante had that much of an effect on you, huh? You figured by taking your victims through Hell, you'd relieve some kind of pain.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
" How did you choose the six victims? Were they random, or did they have meaning to you? Evil isn't random.
It's quite precise.
You made a list and started killing.
No.
They chose their fates.
We're all evil.
Men and women? Evil doesn't discriminate.
So let's enter through the gates of Hell and talk about the first killing.
You replicated the first circle? I put her in a fog, and I strangled her.
Actually, you chained him in his apartment and left the oven on.
All the victims were male, Nathan.
- "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" -Nathan, we know you're working with someone.
Who are you protecting? "ye who enter here.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
- Abandon all hope" Nathan, stop stonewalling us.
You're his Virgil, aren't you? No.
I'm Dante.
I'm Dante.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye" Okay, why is he taking credit for killings he clearly didn't do? - Ego, maybe.
- In the poem, Dante and Virgil had roles from which they didn't stray.
This UnSub and his Virgil would do the same thing.
- So who's this kid? - I don't know, - but he's got some relationship with the UnSub.
- Guys, with circles seven, eight, and nine left, we're running out of time.
We need to dig more deeply - into Nathan's life.
- Okay.
I think we're getting off to an icky start.
No, I'm done.
You should go.
- But - There's nothing that you can say.
Then why did you agree to see me? I'm not a friend.
I'm not family.
Oh, is that it? They didn't come? I'm the only one who showed up? Shut up.
If I was wrong, you would have called the guard over here by now.
And you're afraid.
As tough as you're acting right now, this is the scariest.
And you don't want to die.
I deserve this.
Then why the heck did you call me? Because I don't want to die alone.
Oh.
I can't.
Why? For a lot of reasons.
I-I hate I hate I-I don't like blood.
It's an injection.
There's got to be someone out there No, you were right.
I got nobody.
Nobody came to visit me.
Nobody called.
You're the only human who reached out to me, in your letter.
Well, maybe the governor will still grant you a stay.
But if he doesn't then I want somebody there.
I'm scared.
I I don't know.
Then I was right.
You're not here for me.
You're here for yourself.
Hey.
No - Take me out.
- No, wait.
Wait.
- Take me back.
- I'm done.
- Greg.
Greg.
No Greg.
No, Greg, wait.
Greg.
I didn't mean Plea Could we? Greg.
Greg.
Uh, no one in Nathan's life fits the profile.
You check people in his high school classes? Nah.
Still coming up empty.
All right, I've got Nathan's copy of the Inferno with detailed notes, but the edition is from 1986.
And if Nathan was in high school two years ago, he would have had a more recent edition.
Is there a J.
Leu - anywhere in Nathan's life? - Uh, yeah.
There's a-a Justin Leu.
He was Nathan's high school AP English teacher.
If you give a kid an early edition of a book, it's because you had a bond.
Oh, in Nathan's digital yearbook, he says that Mr.
Leu was the only reason he got through high school.
He took his class twice.
Is Mr.
Leu still in the school system? Yeah, he's been there for years.
And from the looks of it, he's a very tough teacher.
Oh, and please remember your Paradise Lost papers are due next Friday.
Don't forget.
Thank you.
Mr.
Leu, you can't give me a "B.
" - Well, that's what you got.
- If I come home with a "B," my dad's gonna kill me.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
What do we know about Leu's family? The mom passed away of cancer when Justin was ten.
Father started spiraling.
Let me see, Justin.
You got a "B"? Todd, what did you get? A B-minus.
How many hours did you study? - Dad.
- You don't deserve to eat or sleep.
- But, Dad, I - Shut up! Quit going to church, started drinking.
Uh, he was very abusive.
Social Services said that he often locked the kids in the shed.
Was the father violent with both boys? Yes, but according to Child Protective Services, Mr.
Leu's older brother, Todd, got the worst of it.
Justin, you shouldn't be here.
It's going to be okay.
It's going to be okay.
Remember, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
" Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
And where is the brother now? Todd? Todd? Todd?! Todd?! Todd?! He committed suicide.
- Dad?! Dad? - REID: So, that's who his Virgil is, his brother.
He's metaphorically going on this journey with him.
Maybe the father committed the sins found within the nine circles.
An "A"? Are you serious? Thanks.
Is the father still alive? No, he passed away a couple months ago.
Justin inherited his house.
- That's what triggered All right, Kevin, send us the school address, the home address, - and his father's address.
- Sent.
Why am I out here? What do you want from me? Please.
Please.
Please.
What are you doing? - Just paying you back.
- You idiot! Shut up, Dad! I'm not your dad.
What are you doing? Are you stupid? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Say it again.
Abandon all hope You are weak, just like your brother.
Please, don't hurt me! You think this is painful? Wait till you get to Hell! Uh-oh, okay, thanks.
Hotch and Rossi just left the school; Justin's not there.
- What about at his apartment? - It's empty, too.
He has to be headed to his father's house.
Please! I'll I'll do whatever you want! I just want you to be nice.
We're not perfect.
We're not perfect! - No, you're dumb! - Be quiet! A "B" in math? A "B" minus in English? Shut up.
You and your brother are lazy.
No.
Be quiet.
You should've both died back then.
FBI! - FBI! Don't do it! - Get away! Drop that gun! You've killed enough.
- I'm not finished.
- Please! Help me! Killing him's not gonna help you.
I need to finish this journey.
But you skipped number seven and went right to eight, Justin.
Part of seven was suicide.
You were gonna try and complete the circles and save that for yourself.
You don't know me.
You thought that, by killing yourself, it would even the score.
But your brother didn't commit suicide because he couldn't live up to your grades, Justin.
He was depressed.
No, it's my fault.
It's my fault! It was your father's.
If he'd have gotten your brother the help he needed, none of this would have happened.
Listen to her, Justin.
Think about it.
Come on, now.
It's over.
Put that gun down.
Don't let your father destroy you more than he already has.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm sorry I'm sorry.
Hey, this is Derek Morgan.
Please leave a message.
Derek, pick up the phone! I need to talk to you.
I went to go see him.
This whole thing is a mess.
I made things worse by coming here.
I thought I would come and, you know, be an uplifter.
I'm an uplifter.
Even on Death Row, I wanted to be an uplifter.
I wanted to change things, but I can't change it.
I can't fix it, because it's already in motion.
And now I'm here alone.
And I know I made my choices to get here, but I need you right now.
I don't even know what I need.
I need you to see me.
I need you to witness me as I go through this.
I need I need to know you're out there while I'm going through this.
That's what I need.
On the gate! Is there anything you want to say? Thank you.
