DIRECTOR MADISON: If
you provide the Bureau
with actionable
information that leads to
the apprehension and
conviction of Gold Star,
the DOJ is prepared to offer you a deal.
What is North Star?
North Star is where it all starts.
- What?
- This Stuart House place was the perfect crucible
to create serial killers.
A white paper that Jason
Gideon and I drafted
but never submitted.
You're saying that somebody
got ahold of this paper
and created Gold Star out of it?
It began with North Star,
and North Star is us.

ROSSI: "Through pride, we
are ever deceiving ourselves.
But deep down below the surface
of the average conscience,
a still, small voice says to us,
something is out of tune."
Carl Jung.
So you get any sleep last night?
After finding out that our
research is behind Gold Star?
Yeah. I slept like a baby.
I know we have a lot on our plate,
but we still have our day jobs,
and Bethesda, Maryland, needs our help.
Yeah, the local cops are reeling.
We have three disappearances
Alan George, Tony Moon, and Craig Park.
Disappearances? No bodies?
No, but three men of the same
race and the same zip code
Bethesda isn't taking any chances.
Any evidence of foul play?
They found Craig Park's watch
with some of his residual DNA on it.
The band had a monogrammed
clasp with Craig's initials,
so it was like dumb luck that
the police recovered it at all.
All right, if this is an
UnSub, he certainly has a type.
Okay, so if our UnSub is
racially profiling his victims,
we need to keep two
conflicting ideas in our head
at the same time.
One he's a racist and he hates them.
And two he identifies with them.
Well, without bodies, it's
going to be hard to profile.
I mean, we need to determine
abduction and murder locations,
or all we're left with is victimology.
Well, that and timeline.
The first two victims disappeared
within a week of each other.
Craig was only two days later.
Okay, so it's cooling-off
period's getting shorter.
Could be on a mission or a spree.
I need you two to stop him
before he completes either.
Just out of curiosity,
what's the next step with Gold Star
now that we know that
the BAU is the North Star
behind the monster?
We're working on it.
♪
And what is this?
Uh, Tara and I categorized all
the overlapping characteristics
between your paper and Gold Star.
Wow.
And you and Gideon were really
out on a limb with this shit.
You were talking about
epigenetics back in the '90s?
That's partly why we didn't publish.
You can't think of anyone who would
have had access to this back then?
No, we buried it so
nobody could find it.
But somebody did.
Okay, let's start
with an analysis of
whose handwriting is this?
Uh, mine.
Your T's have a loop.
Means you're sensitive to criticism,
- might be paranoid.
- No, I'm
You got me.
I was just reinstated as team leader.
I gotta flex a little bit.
Okay, so let's start with epigenetics,
because that's how the Gold Star
program found its candidates.
What do we know?
Right. So the field originated in 1942,
but it didn't take off until the
genome was mapped in the 2000s.
It revolves around the question of
how our genes are affected
by environmental factors.
Diet, sleep, smoking.
Exactly. But when it gets to
the question of mental illness,
that is when the science gets
and I mean this in the
most technical of senses
bananas.
Especially in the case of Gold Star
where the experiment was,
can you identify emerging
psychopathy in kids,
then promote it, direct
it, and control it?
And that gets us to Stuart House.
That whole site was an
experiment in creating
psychopaths, starting
during the pubescent years.
Yeah, but we're still
stuck on who started it.
I mean, whoever did, they have
done a hell of a job of hiding it.
Where are we with Sebastian Gaspar?
Not talking. He's not going to.
He'll make bail, flee the country.
We can declare him a flight risk.
Ah, he's gotten out of
prisons worse than D.C. lockup.
Okay. Tara, you and Mr. Sensitive here
keep working on the breakdown.
Emily, I could use a
hand with something.
♪
[SIGHS]
What's all this?
BAU files from 1993 through 1997.
All of them?
Well, evidence logs are mixed in.
We have to do a hand search
to see who might have
checked out my paper.
Oh.
Hey, we didn't have
Penelope Garcia back then.
All we had was Jill.
Jill?
Jill!
Ah, Jill.
Let's talk to her.
She helped you guys in the beginning.
- No.
- Why not?
She had access to the paper, didn't she?
Probably.
Well, then what are we waiting for?
Garcia can track her
down, and we can ask her
Stop.
Now, in all the time
we've worked together,
I've never played this
card, but I'm playing it now.
I am forbidding you
from contacting Jill.
Ah
forbidding?
This job has cost her more
than you and me combined.
And that's saying a lot.
So do not bother her.
It's just, I've never
been forbidden before.
That's adorable.
I mean it, Emily.
Okay, I won't bother her.
Thank you.
- Now, if you would
- Ooh.
together, we can
aggravate our asthma
by going through these boxes.
I don't have asthma.
You will in about an hour.

I didn't hear you
come to bed last night.
I was in the basement.
You must be exhausted.
Yeah.
I fell asleep in the nursery
trying to put the baby back to sleep.
[VOICE BREAKING] I'm
never gonna love him.
Don't say that.
[CRYING] It's true.
I'm never gonna love him.
I'm defective.
You're not defective.
Dr. Moreno told us you
were at risk for this.
- It's postpartum depression.
- It's not
It's not depression.
Emma
we have a son,
and he needs you.
I have a son.
You didn't have him. I did.
And I know that's not fair.
It's not fair that
you're doing all the work.
It's not fair that I thought
we could get past this,
but we can't.
I can't.
I found number three.
Is that why you were up all night?
Yes.
Did he admit it?
- No.
- Those cowards.
They never admit it.
Did you make him suffer?
I did.
Good.
But there were four.
I've already found him.
I wanna be there the next time.
Because I can do what you can't.
I can get him to admit it.
If I do this last one, will you
Can you be a mom? Please?
Yes. Once I know they're gone,

Then I can pretend.
Then I will be the best mom ever.

And we can be a family?
We can try.

Ah.
Hey, excuse me.

Can I ask you a question?
Do you know Emma?
You do, don't you?
I don't know an Emma, bro.

[GASPS AND GRUNTS] Aah! Aah!
[GRUNTING]
[WEAKLY] Please
Please don't kill me.
I'm not going to.
My wife is.
Aah! Aah!
Okay, so the science of
epigenetics works like this.
Our genes can actually turn on and off,
which happens, you know,
when you're developing in the womb
or if you're trying to manage
a low-fat, high-protein diet.
Which is why some people
are genetically stronger,
others prone to epilepsy.
Right. What the white paper asked,
and what Gold Star's version of
Dr. Mengeles experimented with,
is, can we turn empathy off and on?
Right. Situational psychopathy,
which, as you can imagine,
would be an incredible tool
for training soldiers or
snipers or even first responders.
May I pull Tyler onto a job?
There's a resource that may help
us get to the bottom of this.
Yeah, sure.
You're not gonna mess with
my head again, are you?
Of course I am, but not with this.
Does the name Jason Gideon
mean anything to you?
Uh, just what Garcia told me.
He and Rossi started the BAU, right?
Yeah, back in the 1980s,
down in the basement of Quantico,
trying to solve cold cases
with some cockamamie
thing called a profile.
And walked away, didn't he?
He did.
Uh, this job took a mental toll on him.
And then a physical one.
He was murdered by a serial killer
who was obsessed with him in 2015.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Does the name Jill Gideon
mean anything to you?
Mnh-mnh.
Dr. Jill Gideon,
Jason's ex-wife.
They split up in 1999,
but even after they did,
she was still the only
therapist he trusted.
That's how I got to know her.
They would do sessions in his office.
You think she might know
something about the white paper?
I-I think she helped write it.
Jill was a silent partner in
getting the BAU off the ground.
Jason wanted it that
way because he was afraid
their work might put her at risk.
That's understandable,
considering what happened to him.
Here's the clincher.
Jill's specialty was
biological psychology.
That's a field that studies
how genes and physiology
shape our psychology.
Sound familiar?
- Epigenetics.
- That is correct.
Garcia gave me her home address.
I'm hoping you can help me recruit her.
- Why me?
- You have a certain skill set
that can be very persuasive.
Let's hit the road. You're driving.

Gentlemen, the last time I checked,
Mr. Voit was allowed
attorney-client privilege.
[CAMERA BEEPS OFF]
Now it's safe for us to speak.
Where are we with my sentence?
You already pled guilty.
Your sentencing hearing is next week.
There's rumors that my
deal's not going through.
No, no, no, no. The
Attorney General's office
has officially reduced
the charges to manslaughter
and kidnapping a federal agent.
Your deal isn't just going through,
my friend. It is gone.
Great.
There's one more thing
I need your help with.
I need you to find something.
It's kind of a
"break glass in case of
emergency" contingency.
Elias. I am your lawyer
- Mm-hmm.
- not your TaskRabbit.
Why's your shirt wrinkled?
- Excuse me?
- Your shirt.
Why is it wrinkled?
Well, I was in a hurry
to see my favorite client.
Well, remember when your
favorite client hired you
and I was complaining about
how my wife sold me out,
and you told me that the
secret to a successful marriage
is a woman who knows her place?
Like your wife?
Who cooks and cleans
and irons your shirts.
Something tells me your
wife's forgotten her place.
We separated last month.
- Well
- And thanks for fishing,
but my business is my business.
Not for long.
Pretty soon half of your business
is gonna be her business.
Be a shame if something happened to her.
Good thing you don't
know someone who knows
a lot of someones who could
make that something happen.

[SOFTLY] Where am I going?
Grab a pen.
You're gonna want to write this down.
♪
So what's the, uh what's the plan
when we knock on Jill Gideon's door?
I know this is weird,
but I can't tell you.
Can you tell me why not?
Uh, because if I tell you,
you'll be psychologically primed
to act a certain way around Jill.
I'm trying to avoid that.
I just want you to be you.

I don't want to be that guy anymore.
Sorry?
I don't want to be that guy.
I get that I have a certain
reputation, but, um
I'm trying to do better.
What are you talking about?
I know what my value is to this team.
You need me to do the
off-the-books, black-bag stuff,
and I get it. I've done some things.
- I'm not proud of them.
- Look, maybe at first
I just let me get
through this, please.
When we meet Jill,
I don't want to knock her unconscious
or pull out her fingernails
or shoot her in the
knee to get her to talk.
I want to stay on the
right side of the law.
What do you think we're going to do?
Well, you said I had
a certain skill set.
I didn't mean that.
Oh.
What did you mean?
Polite. Non-Violent.
Got it.
Can do.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Can you just forget
that I said all the, uh
Oh, just, uh, fucking drive.
Yeah.
We might have an MO and an explanation
as to why we don't have anything else.
Lab came back with the
breakdown of the recovered watch.
Anything we can profile off it?
Yeah. A chemical that ate almost
everything except the rubber.
A mixture of sulfuric
acid and hydrogen peroxide.
He dissolves the bodies.
Yeah. Everyone thinks you're
supposed to use hydrochloric acid.
That stuff takes weeks.
This takes three hours.
They call it piranha solution.
This UnSub doesn't just
want to kill these men.
He wants to obliterate them.
There's a victimology
connection we're missing.
Yeah, well, maybe Penelope
can help us find it.
I mean, your average technical
analyst isn't even gonna
look at the junk folder, but not me, no.
See, I want to wade through
the trash until I find treasure.
I want to go through all the meaningless
until I find something of value.
It's why you and I are finally friends.
Finally. What did you find?
Uh, I found an anonymous
e-mail with a bunch
of numbers and letters
where the dot-com should be,
and it is why all of
the victims' servers
flagged it as spam.
But it's our UnSub?
Well, I would think
so, considering the tone
of each e-mail is, uh, similar.
Whoa.
It would seem our UnSub thinks
these men got his wife pregnant,
either willingly or unwillingly.
I'm guessing unwillingly.
All right, do any of our victims have
a history of sexual violence?
Yes. One does. Alan George.
- Sexual assault conviction.
- All right. That would give us motive.
Yeah. One that leads
to a pregnancy. Thanks.
- Yeah.
- Thanks, friend.

writes books, has a goatee he thinks
makes him look very distinguished.

have against David Rossi?

Dramatic.
Melodramatic. Histrionic.
Yes. And David Rossi is
the opposite of all that.
Let me ask you something.
What was the reason David Rossi gave you
for leaving the BAU in 1997?
He was sick of the FBI bureaucracy,
and he wanted to write books.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, that's
that is not the reason.
No. No.
Yes.
Did he break your heart?
Oh, please. I broke his.
Uh
Look, rape is a crime of power, not sex.
So Jeremy Moy could have,
but I'm not buying it.
Well, you don't have to,
because another part of
our case just fell through.
Oh, great. Which part?
Alan George victim with the, uh,
sexual-assault conviction.
Yeah. He, uh He was arrested
for going to the
bathroom outside of a bar
during happy hour.
There was a kid in the crowd,
and, uh, an overzealous
D.A. decided to charge it
as attempted sexual
contact with a child.
[SCOFFS]
These guys aren't rapists.
No, they're not, but our
UnSub thinks they are.
And the wife?
Could go either way.
Maybe it's a folie à deux between them.
Yeah, but
they killed the wrong guys.
Even if they're deluded, why go so far
as to kill the wrong guys?
Think we're missing something?
I do.
We can't deliver the profile
till we know for sure.
He said those words "I forbid you"?
Those words came out
of David Ross's mouth?
Yeah. Can you believe it?
You know, you could prove him wrong
by coming back to Quantico.
No. Nice try, but no. but
you're proving my point.
David Rossi can be
dramatic, melodramatic,
and histrionic with the best of them.
I'm sorry I can't help
you. Thank you for coming.
How's JJ?
Ah. She's a profiler now.
- She is?
- Yeah.
I think it's important
we help the younger agents
with the benefit of
our experience, but
Oh. Tyler Green. Jill,
this is Tyler Green.
He's a consultant
working this case with us.
Tyler, Jill. Jill, Tyler.
I wanted you to meet him.
Oh.
Emily, you are a great profiler
and a terrible liar.
Uh, what is happening?
You weren't brought here
because you're a consultant.
You were brought here because you have
a similar facial structure
to my son, Stephen.
No offense, but he's a lot
more handsome than you are.
And that's that's relevant how?
Emily is trying to use
morphopsychology as a trigger
to get my amygdala to
fire. Do you know why?
Because that's where the
neurons connected to emotions
tied to memory go crazy,
but it's not gonna work.
I am a biological psychologist.
I know these tricks.
Tyler is only here because
I wanted you to meet
the next generation of the BAU.
Oh.

were to get killed in the line of duty
because of some connection

I don't think we have much time.
We got four victims, barely
24 hours between 3 and 4.
Question is, is he done or not?
If he's targeting the wrong guys,
he could see any man who triggers him
as one of his wife's rapists.
Maybe she's prodding him along.
See, that's that's the part
where a wall goes up in
my mind and says, "no."
That he's this deluded or
that the wife's a part of it?
Both.
Look, we have come so far
in understanding rape trauma.
Yes, women black out.
Yes, details get forgotten,
mistaken, you name it, but
But naming the wrong
assailant four times? It's
Wouldn't happen. No woman would do that.
Right, now factor in the obvious.
Okay, well, the physical
similarity of the victims.
That can't be an accident.
It's almost like
Like what?
Like these men are a
manifestation of himself.
You said earlier that
he was obliterating them.
Well, what if he's
not obliterating them,
but he's obliterating
himself over and over?
Because he feels
responsible for some trauma.
Some trauma that he
externalizes as his wife's rape.
Damn.

Our known suspect is Roger Song.
He and his wife, Emma, pursued
IVF treatments from this woman,
Dr. Maria Moreno.
Dr. Moreno was just reported
missing by her husband.
We believe Rogers Song has abducted her.
The four previous victims
have been confirmed
as being potential donors in
the couple's IVF treatments.
Wait, how does our guy know that?
Isn't that information kept anonymous?
It is, but this company has an option
where parents can contact donors
after the baby's been born.
And this is where the
couple's behavior gets erratic.
According to the clinic records,
the implantation was a success,
but there's no record of a birth.
We believe that Roger's
controlling personality
forced Emma to deliver at home.
Somewhere in that window, Roger
suffered a break from reality,
and he now thinks that
these men are rapists
that impregnated his wife.
- How about the wife?
- Uh, that's still unclear.
She could be a victim of his delusion
or a participant in it.
Yeah, our number-one priority right now
is Dr. Moreno and the baby.
We have to proceed with caution
because Roger's delusional psychosis
makes him incredibly dangerous.

- No, I'm
You got me.
I was just reinstated as team leader.
I gotta flex a little bit.
Okay, so let's start with epigenetics,
because that's how the Gold Star
program found its candidates.
What do we know?
Right. So the field originated in 1942,
but it didn't take off until the
genome was mapped in the 2000s.
It revolves around the question of
how our genes are affected
by environmental factors.
Diet, sleep, smoking.
Exactly. But when it gets to
the question of mental illness,
that is when the science gets
and I mean this in the
most technical of senses
bananas.
Especially in the case of Gold Star
where the experiment was,
can you identify emerging
psychopathy in kids,
then promote it, direct
it, and control it?
And that gets us to Stuart House.
That whole site was an
experiment in creating
psychopaths, starting
during the pubescent years.
Yeah, but we're still
stuck on who started it.
I mean, whoever did, they have
done a hell of a job of hiding it.

Which is why some people
are genetically stronger,
others prone to epilepsy.

Right. Situational psychopathy,

but everyone was fine with it.
And now you're telling
me that Jeremy is dead
because of someone he
didn't have sex with?
Somebody he couldn't have sex with.
We had just picked out our tuxes.
♪
We need you to come to Quantico
and help us with the white paper.
I I can't.
Look, I understand how difficult it is
to get back into the
headspace of a profiler.
And I can't imagine
what you've been through
- since Jason
- Stop. Jason died nine years ago.
I have mourned that loss.
I have processed that grief.
I have moved on.
Then why not help us?
Because of a certain agent I'm fearful
you are still working with.
Who?
About yay high,
writes books, has a goatee he thinks
makes him look very distinguished.
Rossi?
What could you possibly
have against David Rossi?
He's the best agent
I've ever worked with.
Ha.
Jill, no offense. I loved Jason.
He loved you back.
That That actually means a lot.
Mm.
But, uh, what I'm trying to
Please don't think I'm speaking ill
of the dearly departed when I say this,
but Jason could be a little
Dramatic.
Melodramatic. Histrionic.
Yes. And David Rossi is
the opposite of all that.
Let me ask you something.
What was the reason David Rossi gave you
for leaving the BAU in 1997?
He was sick of the FBI bureaucracy,
and he wanted to write books.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, that's
that is not the reason.
No. No.
Yes.
Did he break your heart?
Oh, please. I broke his.
Uh
Look, rape is a crime of power, not sex.
So Jeremy Moy could have,
but I'm not buying it.
Well, you don't have to,
because another part of
our case just fell through.
Oh, great. Which part?
Alan George victim with the, uh,
sexual-assault conviction.
Yeah. He, uh He was arrested
for going to the
bathroom outside of a bar
during happy hour.
There was a kid in the crowd,
and, uh, an overzealous
D.A. decided to charge it
as attempted sexual
contact with a child.
[SCOFFS]
These guys aren't rapists.
No, they're not, but our
UnSub thinks they are.
And the wife?
Could go either way.
Maybe it's a folie à deux between them.
Yeah, but
they killed the wrong guys.
Even if they're deluded, why go so far
as to kill the wrong guys?
Think we're missing something?
I do.
We can't deliver the profile
till we know for sure.
He said those words "I forbid you"?
Those words came out
of David Ross's mouth?
Yeah. Can you believe it?
You know, you could prove him wrong
by coming back to Quantico.
No. Nice try, but no. but
you're proving my point.
David Rossi can be
dramatic, melodramatic,
and histrionic with the best of them.
I'm sorry I can't help
you. Thank you for coming.
How's JJ?
Ah. She's a profiler now.
- She is?
- Yeah.
I think it's important
we help the younger agents
with the benefit of
our experience, but
Oh. Tyler Green. Jill,
this is Tyler Green.
He's a consultant
working this case with us.
Tyler, Jill. Jill, Tyler.
I wanted you to meet him.
Oh.
Emily, you are a great profiler
and a terrible liar.
Uh, what is happening?
You weren't brought here
because you're a consultant.
You were brought here because you have
a similar facial structure
to my son, Stephen.
No offense, but he's a lot
more handsome than you are.
And that's that's relevant how?
Emily is trying to use
morphopsychology as a trigger
to get my amygdala to
fire. Do you know why?
Because that's where the
neurons connected to emotions
tied to memory go crazy,
but it's not gonna work.
I am a biological psychologist.
I know these tricks.
Tyler is only here because
I wanted you to meet
the next generation of the BAU.
Oh.
And if someone like him or JJ
were to get killed in the line of duty
because of some connection
you could have filled in,
I know you wouldn't be
able to live with yourself.

I don't think we have much time.
We got four victims, barely
24 hours between 3 and 4.
Question is, is he done or not?
If he's targeting the wrong guys,
he could see any man who triggers him
as one of his wife's rapists.
Maybe she's prodding him along.
See, that's that's the part
where a wall goes up in
my mind and says, "no."
That he's this deluded or
that the wife's a part of it?
Both.
Look, we have come so far
in understanding rape trauma.
Yes, women black out.
Yes, details get forgotten,
mistaken, you name it, but
But naming the wrong
assailant four times? It's
Wouldn't happen. No woman would do that.
Right, now factor in the obvious.
Okay, well, the physical
similarity of the victims.
That can't be an accident.
It's almost like
Like what?
Like these men are a
manifestation of himself.
You said earlier that
he was obliterating them.
Well, what if he's
not obliterating them,
but he's obliterating
himself over and over?
Because he feels
responsible for some trauma.
Some trauma that he
externalizes as his wife's rape.
Damn.
That's one hell of an externalization.
Don't hate me for saying this, but
what if there was no rape?
Go on.
We've established that
these guys aren't rapists.
Well, let's assume that the
pregnancy is a fixed variable.
That part happened.
Okay.
But what if he views these men
as being able to do something
that that he can't
because he's infertile?
Of course.
That's why they all look similar.
They're a manifestation of himself,
a genetic manifestation.
His brain rewires it as rape.

they're sperm donors.
Yes.

♪
Our known suspect is Roger Song.
He and his wife, Emma, pursued
IVF treatments from this woman,
Dr. Maria Moreno.
Dr. Moreno was just reported
missing by her husband.
We believe Rogers Song has abducted her.
The four previous victims
have been confirmed
as being potential donors in
the couple's IVF treatments.
Wait, how does our guy know that?
Isn't that information kept anonymous?
It is, but this company has an option
where parents can contact donors
after the baby's been born.
And this is where the
couple's behavior gets erratic.
According to the clinic records,
the implantation was a success,
but there's no record of a birth.
We believe that Roger's
controlling personality
forced Emma to deliver at home.
Somewhere in that window, Roger
suffered a break from reality,
and he now thinks that
these men are rapists
that impregnated his wife.
- How about the wife?
- Uh, that's still unclear.
She could be a victim of his delusion
or a participant in it.
Yeah, our number-one priority right now
is Dr. Moreno and the baby.
We have to proceed with caution
because Roger's delusional psychosis
makes him incredibly dangerous.
