00:01Previously on The Rookie
00:02I think I have a lead on Rosalind
00:05The forensic linguistics are a match to Rosalind Dyer
00:07Hello John
00:08Coming back to LA was a bad move
00:11This wasn't all you, you had help
00:13Another acolyte
00:14Exactly what kind of sicko are we dealing with here?
00:17Killers like this, they don't stop
00:18We got a name out of Denver Sanitation, Jeffrey Boyle
00:21He was very excited when I pitched him the idea, I love the artistry of it
00:25Yes, this is Officer John Nolan
00:26I have Rosalind Dyer in custody
00:32Do you think she did this on purpose?
00:34All it means that we can focus on catching her accomplice
00:36Before he kills anyone else
00:38Here comes the feds to help
00:43Serial killer Rosalind Dyer is dead
00:46Fatally shot earlier today by an unknown accomplice
00:49After she was apprehended by the LAPD
00:52We can confirm that Rosalind Dyer was killed today
00:55By a sniper's bullet we believe was fired by this man
00:57Now we do not know yet his true identity
01:00But he has been operating locally under the alias Jeffrey Boyle
01:04In addition to assisting Rosalind Dyer in this morning's attempted murder of firefighter Bailey Noon
01:09We believe that Boyle is responsible for at least three other unrelated murders
01:14So we're asking anyone with information to please call 911 or the FBI tip line
01:19But be mindful, this is an extremely dangerous man
01:31I don't get it
01:34Rosalind busted out of prison
01:35She could be on a beach
01:37Having umbrella drinks for the rest of her life
01:40Instead she plans her own murder?
01:42It's fascinating really
01:44You know, on a clinical level
01:45The most extreme case of a manipulative narcissistic psychopath I've ever seen
01:49Controlling everything down to the way she died
01:51Okay, so what are the odds our guy is both an evil genius and an expert sniper?
01:56Not out of the question
01:57But it is unlikely
01:58I don't get a former military vibe off of him
02:01You know, I played a sniper once in a video game adaptation
02:04On a shot over 100 yards, the math you have to do to calculate the windage and elevation is a
02:09bitch
02:10I would have shot from over here
02:13Why?
02:13Good cover, close to the canyon gate, pull the trigger and you're gone
02:21What the hell?
02:22What is it?
02:24What?
02:24A tiny little mask like the ones doctors used to wear during the bubonic plague
02:30LAPD found one of those masks in Boyle's workshop
02:32What's with the beak?
02:33They filled it with herbs to purify the air, prevent contagion, like an early gas mask
02:37So he left that here for us to find
02:39He wanted us to find it
02:40Why would he do that?
02:41The Black Death decimated Europe
02:43Almost half the population perished
02:46It's his way of telling us
02:48More death is coming
02:57I know we had a deal, but
02:59Please, I don't need a lecture right now
03:00We need to catch this guy before he kills somebody else
03:02Evelyn, I'm sorry, I have to go
03:05Doing all right?
03:07Yes
03:08Okay, that's a lie
03:09Carter, I need everyone at their best for this one
03:11So if there's something going on
03:13It's my day to pick up my son
03:14Evelyn and I are...
03:16I'm sorry, Carter
03:19Listen, I've been in your shoes
03:21Divorced three times
03:22So if you're wondering what to do or how to feel
03:25Or even the name of a good divorce lawyer
03:28You hit me up, huh?
03:31Thanks
03:32Good
03:34Hey, so what's the plan, boss?
03:36Well, by now Jeffrey Boyle has changed his appearance and gone to ground
03:39So question is, does he stay local or hit the road?
03:42Given the Denver case that LAPD found, I say he hits the road
03:46I mean, he's a traveler by nature
03:48I agree
03:49Did you hear that?
03:50We should divide and conquer
03:51I'm interested in the victim LAPD pulled out of Boyle's practice trap
03:55Emmy has her on the table right now
03:56Good, hit the morgue
03:57We need to get an idea on that woman fast
03:59Find out whether she was yanked off the street or if this guy seduces his victims
04:02And if it's the latter, then maybe he screwed up and left a clue behind that we could follow
04:06Now, Laura, what do you want to do?
04:08A deep dive into the trap he built for Bailey
04:09I want to get a sense of his skill level, his artistry
04:12My instinct is that he defines himself by the way he kills
04:14That's how we're gonna catch him
04:16Great, do it
04:17I'll call DC and get additional resources
04:19I'm gonna need him
04:21Can I drive?
04:22Of course not
04:24You work a serial killer case before?
04:26Work three, solve two
04:27The third?
04:29I'll tell you about it sometime if you never want to sleep again
04:32Before we go in
04:33Let's prepare
04:39I've seen my share of dead bodies
04:41I'm good
04:42How about the smell of one or several?
04:44You ever smell the inside of a locker room after football practice on a hot day?
04:48Simone
04:48I'm good
04:55Sweet Jesus, hate me now
04:57Hey
04:59Dr. Song, we spoke on the phone
05:01Special Agent Hope, this is Special Agent Clark
05:03Yes, I just completed our Jane Doe autopsy
05:11Our Vic was found with water in her lungs and electrical burns on her lower extremities
05:17Were you able to pull a prince?
05:18No, she was in the water too long
05:20Her skin has lost all elasticity
05:22She basically fell apart on my table
05:23How's her face still intact?
05:26Ah, post-mortem gas releasing made her buoyant
05:29She was floating face up
05:32Hey, it's okay if you need to step outside
05:34No, no
05:35I'm staying right here
05:38And I'm gonna be strong for her so we can get you did this
05:43Is that a tattoo on her neck?
05:45Yes
05:45A heart could indicate a loved one, but the cue is not a common letter for a name
05:51Wait
05:53Queen of Hearts Car Club
05:55That tattoo is their logo
06:00I can't believe you got Bailey out in time
06:03Uh, technically we didn't
06:04She was dead and we pulled her out, but Jen saved her
06:06Hmm
06:07What does the intricacy of this indicate to you?
06:10Well, it must have taken weeks to put together
06:13He planned this for a long time
06:15Yeah, guys
06:17Organized, not spontaneous
06:18Enjoys the prelude
06:19Sense of control
06:21Watching his victims come face to face with their fate
06:25Feeling that dread and anticipation
06:30What, not a fan of profiling?
06:32No offense, but in my experience
06:34The best way to catch a killer is with evidence, witnesses
06:36And good old-fashioned police work
06:38Not speculation on what messed him up as a child
06:41You telling me that you're not the man you are
06:43Because of what happened to you as a kid?
06:49Huh
06:50Huh, what?
06:52Well, it's just fascinating
06:55What is?
06:57The construction on this trap shows exceptional metal work skill
07:00But the welding pattern here around the window
07:04Has no functionality, it's completely decorative
07:06Which means they're subject to pride in building this on a design level
07:10So he enjoyed the making almost as much as the killing
07:14Exactly
07:15You just need to figure out how that helps us catch him
07:20I wish I could tell you that you get used to her
07:22But the bad ones
07:24They'll always be there when you close your eyes
07:26I know
07:27I know
07:29I lost a dozen kids when I was a counselor
07:32Drugs, homicides, suicides
07:34One of my girls was abducted
07:37Renata Sams
07:39D.C. police had no leads
07:41So they barely worked the case
07:42That baby didn't even get a mention on the local news
07:46Wrong skin tone for crime time
07:48Her remains were discovered about two months later
07:53That's it
07:54I mean, the case is still unsolved
07:56The investigation just ended
07:58She's just a case file in the damn basement
08:05Okay
08:07We got a hit on our Jane Doe
08:09Local chapter of the Queen of Hearts Car Club
08:11Identify her as Sadie Frank
08:14It's the nightmare you always have
08:16Sadie and I made a pact when we moved in together
08:19Two single girls in LA
08:21We always texted if we were gonna be out late
08:23So
08:24When I didn't hear from her
08:25I didn't
08:27Look, I know
08:29This is a lot
08:30And my heart breaks for you
08:33But you need to be strong for your girl right now
08:36Have you ever seen this man before?
08:40That's Jeff
08:41Sadie met him at the university library
08:44He did this
08:45Did she say anything about him?
08:47Yeah, just that he was nice
08:49Um, they both geeked out over Gothic architecture
08:52Sounds like she really liked this guy
08:54She did
08:55So you met him?
08:57Once
08:57I mean, he came over for dinner
08:59Really, do you remember anything he said or did that night?
09:01Did he say where he lived?
09:03I was in my room studying
09:04I only saw him for like a minute
09:07I just remember how happy Sadie was
09:10Because he had given her some rare book on an artist that she liked
09:13Did she keep the book?
09:14Uh, yeah
09:15It's on her night table
09:18Based on what we know so far
09:19Jeffrey Boyle is precise
09:22Methodical
09:22A planner
09:23Who takes pride in his creations
09:25His M.O. has remained consistent so far
09:28All of his known victims have died from drowning
09:30Which is a slow death
09:31That he rebels in
09:33He relishes control
09:35Which is often a sign that our subject feels he lacks control of his own life
09:39Or, he's just a show off
09:41I mean, this is a hell of a complicated way to kill someone
09:44Guy's arrogant
09:45Ego-driven
09:45A grandstander
09:50Hi
09:51Hi
09:51What are you doing here?
09:52DC sent me
09:54You didn't know
09:59Pardon the interruption, Agent Stenson
10:01Please continue
10:02What was that?
10:03Mark at Atlas, Lori's party before she got kicked out of the BSU
10:07Mmm
10:11An apparatus this sophisticated
10:13It's clear our subject has been honing his skills since long before he met up with Rosalyn
10:18But getting an apprenticeship
10:20That indicates someone who has a strong desire for approval
10:23Or
10:24He linked up with Rosalyn to test himself against the best
10:27The ultimate way to prove that, kill the queen and take her crown
10:29Or
10:30He was exercising demons from his past
10:32Craved acclaim from a senior figure in his life
10:34Not everyone was made into a monster by someone
10:35Not everyone was born that way
10:38Either
10:39Fine
10:39Or
10:40If the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior
10:44Then it's reasonable to assume our subject will strike again
10:48He's not a loner
10:49He craves a connection
10:50He likes to show off
10:52The iron work he did on the trap was ornamental
10:56And the plague doctor mask he left behind exhibits almost a sense of whimsy
11:00This indicates someone who doesn't just see his skills as a means to an end
11:05But rather the ability to express himself
11:17If you're looking for copper to steal I saw some a ways back
11:21Oh no, I'm an artist
11:24So I use the scrap as materials for my sculpture
11:29Like John Chamberlain?
11:31Or more figurative stuff like Stankovich
11:35Um, I'm an artist too
11:37I like to think of my work as more elemental
11:40I love what the most primal forces on Earth
11:42You know, heat, water, cold
11:43What they do to things
11:45How they change them, test them, forge them into something new
11:51I'm sorry, am I being pretentious?
11:54Uh, a little
11:56Um, I'm, uh, I'm Mia, by the way
12:02Love that name
12:03I'm Owen
12:05So what kind of artist are you?
12:07Oh, um, I draw
12:09Mostly, um, representational
12:13Very nice
12:14I guess we both search for truth and the sublime in a disaster
12:20Wow, then I'm pretentious
12:24You know, there is a gnarly semi-truck wreck back that way
12:27If you go and check it out
12:31I thought you'd never ask
12:35Come on
12:46How can you just waltz in here and contradict me like that in front of everyone?
12:50I'm so sorry
12:50I honestly thought you knew I was coming
12:52I'm still finding my footing here
12:53The last thing I need is you undermining me
12:55I would never undermine me
12:56I'm too scared of your mad face
12:57See? I do miss it though
12:59Yeah, I'm sure you do
13:03Hey, you carried a box out of your office and never looked back
13:06Never returned my phone calls
13:08I'm sorry
13:09I just needed a clean break after everything
13:14Yeah
13:15Heard you got promoted
13:17I did
13:18Hmm, well, you know you only got bumped up because I left
13:21Alright, yeah, keep telling yourself that
13:22You got a new partner?
13:24Not yet
13:25Everyone else suffers in comparison
13:28So, the lab pull prints off the books Simone and Carter brought in
13:31We finally have our subject's real name
13:33Eli Reynolds, born and raised outside of Denver
13:35So, tell me, either of you, what are the odds you went back home?
13:39After you?
13:40Oh no, you first, I insist
13:42Why, thank you, I'd say the odds are 50-50
13:45But even if he's not there, we'll gain crucial knowledge about his development that will help us catch him
13:49Good, Laura
13:50Yeah, what is that saying about a stop clock being right twice a day?
13:53Yeah, it's a spirit
13:55Denver it is, wheels up in 30
14:00Now, Eli Reynolds hasn't filed a tax return in 10 years
14:04He has zero internet presence
14:06Well, he abandoned his old life
14:08But why? We need to figure out what made him who he is today
14:11Or, or we recognize that it's more likely our subject was born with a brain predisposed to narcissistic sociopathy
14:17Ticking time bomb
14:18Waiting for a fuse to be lit
14:20Not every sociopath is a murderer
14:22Boom, because a ton of kids came through my office and none of them turned out serial killers
14:28That you know of
14:29Answer me this, Simone, were any of them sadists with anti-social or borderline personality disorders?
14:33That's not the point, Mark
14:34Sure it is, Laura
14:35Every serial killer has a different psychological diagnosis and nailing it down
14:39Doesn't help us catch our subject
14:41You're wrong as usual
14:42Mm, no, I'm not
14:43Oh, really?
14:44Should we revisit the shallow grave killer who I caught?
14:47Okay, enough
14:50My goodness
14:50The two of you, you're like my sisters
14:53Now when we land, Carter, Brendan, Atlas, you will pay Eli's father a visit
14:58Laura, you take Simone to do her League of Extraordinary Guidance Counselors thing
15:02We will look at this man's childhood from two different angles
15:05Okay?
15:06Works for me
15:07May the best theory win
15:09Oh, we will
15:16Yeah, it seems like Laura's fitting in nicely to the L.A. field office
15:18Like a glove
15:20How's L.A. treating her?
15:21She's alien, she's making friends, is she dating?
15:23Actually, she's uh
15:24Go around back
15:24Oh
15:25In case she's inside and tries a rabbit
15:26Yeah, sure
15:32What?
15:33Josh Reynolds
15:35Yeah?
15:36Who are you?
15:37Special Agent Hope, FBI
15:38This is Special Agent Atlas
15:40We'll hear about your son Eli
15:41Is he in the house?
15:43No, why?
15:44He's a warrant for multiple homicides
15:47Invite us in
15:50You mind if we take a look around?
15:52Confirm he's not here?
15:53You got a warrant?
15:55I can get one
15:58Go ahead
16:06You know, you're wrong about Eli
16:09Kid's not a killer
16:11You spoke to his son recently?
16:13About months ago, just small talk
16:16He was back east somewhere
16:17Back east where?
16:19I don't know
16:20Look, he left home at 19
16:21We haven't
16:23Taught much since
16:25Why is that?
16:26I'm his father, not his best friend
16:27Mr. Reynolds, these accusations against your son are serious
16:30If you know anything you're not telling us, we need to know
16:33I'd like to help you, but
16:35I can't
16:37I remember Eli
16:39He was, uh
16:41Troubled
16:42Troubled how?
16:43Oh, you know
16:44The usual
16:45Problems at home
16:46Acting out in school
16:49Maybe
16:50Maybe I could have done more to help him back then
16:53Look, I feel you
16:54We only get these kids for four years
16:57I mean, there's only so much you can do
16:59What kind of problems was Eli having at home?
17:04Abuse?
17:04Oh, I don't know
17:06Maybe
17:07Well, not maybe
17:09It says you called social services
17:11Clearly you thought something was going on
17:13Well, there were signs of malnourishment
17:18I thought I saw some burns
17:21Social services took a look and they didn't do anything
17:25What did Eli say to you about the abuse?
17:29Uh...
17:30Not much
17:31Mm-mm
17:32I take back what I said
17:33You failed this kid
17:34And now he's out there torturing people to death
17:37You will tell us everything you know
17:39Or I will make it my mission
17:41To see that you are legally charged for what you did
17:46He told me his father wanted to make him tougher
17:50That he held him under water
17:53To test his endurance
17:59Hey
17:59Are you still at the Dad's house?
18:01No, we just left, why?
18:03Eli's father abused him as a child
18:05He's recreating what he survived
18:07We're going back to Dad's line
18:21Hey!
18:22Hey, hey, hey, hey! Stop what you're doing!
18:23Put your hands up!
18:24Hey! Stop!
18:25Put your hands up!
18:26Drop the box!
18:27Okay, okay, okay, guy
18:29You guys are so serious
18:32Hey, it's behind your back
18:44Burning evidence?
18:45Trying to destroy everything that could prove your son's pathology?
18:48That screams accomplice
18:49You're looking at life without the possibility of parole here?
18:52Eli left home at 19
18:54I had jack all to do with it, okay?
18:56So why were you burning this stuff?
18:58Because I knew you guys would try to blame me
19:00You're damn right
19:02You abused your son, you tortured him
19:04Eli was born soft
19:07I just tried to give him strength and some backbone
19:10Tried to make him feel like a man
19:12You made him into a killer
19:14Where is he now?
19:15I told you, I don't know
19:16I don't believe you
19:17You need to tell us where he is
19:22I'm done talking
19:23I want a lawyer
19:32It was great talking to you guys
19:36Alright, so
19:37He tested Eli's endurance
19:38And then Eli follows
19:40Tests his victim's endurance
19:42By putting him in these boxes
19:43But
19:44What if
19:46Torture is like a
19:47Twisted way to get to know his victims
19:49You know he wants him to feel the way he feels
19:51Suffer the way he suffers
19:52So they understand him
19:54Nobody wants to go through life feeling alone
19:57That's interesting
19:59Denver Forensics found a pay-as-you-go phone
20:02At the bottom of the barbecue
20:04Oh, so
20:05Burner phone
20:06Literally
20:08So
20:09Given Eli's profile
20:10Makes sense he tried keeping contact with his father
20:12Prove his worthiness
20:13Yeah, so
20:14If the lab can resurrect it
20:15Might get us Eli's location
20:17Think he's in town?
20:18I think we need to wait and see what this phone says
20:20So we are all spending the night
20:21The FBI way
20:22Do I want to know what the FBI way is?
20:25Tudor room
20:26In the cheapest motel in town
20:28We're bunking up
20:32We're bunking up
20:33We're bunking up
20:37We're bunking up
20:39We're bunking up
20:39We're bunking up
20:40We're bunking up
20:40Your theory about the
20:41Subject testing
20:42The endurance of the victims
20:43Was spot on
20:43You study behavioral psychology?
20:46Uh
20:47No, no
20:47I was an actor
20:49Really?
20:50Really
20:50Wow
20:51Yeah
20:52I mean you could
20:53You could be Tom Cruise for all
20:54I know I mostly watch baseball
20:56No offense
20:57No, none taken
20:58I appreciate the positive feedback
21:00You know
21:01I don't get a lot here
21:02Between being a
21:04Rookie
21:04Ex-actor
21:05It doesn't happen a lot
21:06So, thank you
21:07Make them respect what you bring to the table
21:10I mean actors have to be intuitive, right?
21:12Create backstories to embody a character
21:14That's basically what good profilers do
21:15So you're already ahead of the game
21:17Laura is a tough nut to crack
21:20Took me two months just to get a laugh out of her
21:23But, you know, when you let her get to know your words
21:25She'll
21:27Still definitely be super hard on you
21:29But you'll have her respect
21:31I raided the vending machine
21:33What?
21:34No flaming hot Cheetos?
21:36You don't need them
21:37With all that heat between you and Atlas
21:39What?
21:41I don't know what you're talking about
21:45I've been around horny teenagers for the last 20 years
21:49My chemistry detector is on point
21:52You know, I also, I vomit every time I see blood
21:56So there's
21:57There's that too
21:58Laura says it's an aversion reaction to being covered in stage blood for so many years
22:03But
22:04You ever tried B-Mac?
22:06The hamburger?
22:07Broad-minded effective coping
22:09It's a way to trick the brain
22:12Think of something that makes you happy
22:14Quick, first thing that comes to mind, come on
22:17Sink puppies
22:19Dude, what?
22:21Sink puppies
22:23When I was a kid, I had a dog who had 10 puppies
22:26And we wanted to get like a really cute picture of them
22:29So we put them in the sink
22:31And I just remember their like big eyes and the floppy ears looking up at us
22:36It's the big bowl of like fluffy goodness
22:42Sink puppies
22:44Okay, so from now on when you see blood
22:47Mm-hmm
22:48Think of Sink puppies
22:50We were great partners
22:53And there's a certain closeness that comes with that
22:57Nothing more
22:58Come on, if girls can't have juicy talk at a bed bug slumber party
23:04It's gonna be a boring night
23:07Okay, it's complicated
23:09You know, when I left the BSU and went on sabbatical
23:13He did reach out and tried to be a friend
23:17But I ghosted him
23:19You know, and I guess I just needed distance from my old life
23:23So, you slept with him, got it
23:26You should have just said that
23:27No, you don't got it, we never hooked up
23:30I was too busy being faithful to my scumbag fiance to ever act on anything
23:35Well, an ex is an ex for a reason
23:37Hey, you don't have a ring on your finger, so
23:43I finally took it off yesterday
23:46Funny how a little ring could have such meaning, huh?
23:50I threw my last one in the ocean
23:54Well, emotionally it felt great
23:58Financially, not so much
23:59I haven't been single in almost two decades
24:02Feels like my world is off its axis
24:06They say your first divorce is the hardest
24:09Now that is a lie
24:11By the time you hear three different women say that they made a mistake by marrying you
24:16You start thinking maybe you're the problem
24:18And that, my friend, that is when the real pain begins
24:20So, enjoy your first divorce
24:27Strange but comforting advice
24:29The best way to get over someone is to get under someone
24:35We were ear hustling
24:37And this cute thing across the pool is choosing
24:40So, you should go talk to her
24:43That's not gonna happen
24:45Change your mind, Simone's a pretty good wing woman
24:47Although, a woman sitting alone by a motel pool
24:50Seems kinda sus, I'd pass it
24:53I did that
24:54Then, be my guest
24:55Last I checked, I didn't ask for either of your opinions
24:58I'm not even officially divorced yet
25:00I wouldn't even be ready if I was
25:02Besides, we're here working a case
25:04Hooking up with someone is just
25:07Tacky
25:08Knock, knock, knock
25:20Um...
25:22I was wrong to cut you out of my life
25:26Yes
25:28Yes, you were
25:31I was just, you know, I was...
25:34Humiliated
25:36And everyone thought I was falling apart
25:38Because Sam cheated on me
25:41But I think the worst part was knowing that my best friend in the unit
25:46You
25:48Well
25:49Less of me
25:52But, you know, the good news
25:56I think I'm back
25:57Hmm
25:59Better than ever
26:00Wow
26:00Yeah
26:02How's it possible for the second best profiler I know to get even better?
26:05Whoa, second?
26:08Okay, yeah, the best
26:12I'm really sorry
26:16Please don't hate me
26:18You can never hate me, come here
26:20All these...
26:23H-pe...
26:25Who!
26:30Y'all...
26:33I'm definitely...
26:36H-h-h-ha...
26:40Good-good-good-good
26:45Good-good-good-good
26:59So, how does a cool industrial art bro get into wine anyway?
27:06Well, if you have good wine, it means you had grapes that endured.
27:11The harsher the wind, the rockier the soil, the more complex and interesting the wine will be.
27:17I like your work.
27:19I'm noticing a theme here.
27:22You got me.
27:24And this is good wine.
27:27Oh, sorry.
27:29It's just most of my previous experiences came out of a box.
27:33Yeah, it's pretty good.
27:37You know what? I've got a really, really special bottle in the cellar.
27:42Come check it out.
27:47Um, actually, um, maybe next time.
27:52I, um, I just had so much already.
27:56Sure?
27:58Trust me, you're gonna love it.
28:01Uh, no.
28:02Um, I should, I should really, I think I should go.
28:06I should have, um...
28:07Okay.
28:09Yeah.
28:11Okay.
28:18Okay.
28:34Oh, my God.
28:47You got in late last night.
28:50I hope that smile means it was as good as you imagined.
28:55Better?
28:56Oh, I know that's right.
28:59That just stays between us, or else.
29:03Snitches get stitches.
29:05You all right?
29:06You seemed a little down when I walked up.
29:09I'm fine.
29:11No, you're not.
29:12Excuse me?
29:13You never want to show weakness of any kind.
29:15You need people to think you're competent, so you mask your true feelings.
29:19Hold on.
29:20Did you just profile me?
29:22Yeah, it's kind of my thing.
29:23It's kind of annoying.
29:24But I'm right.
29:30I have been preparing for this job my whole life, and I thought I was ready until this
29:36case.
29:37Every time I close my eyes, I picture the victims and how frightened they must have been knowing
29:44how they were going to die.
29:46I figure by joining the FBI, I would make a difference.
29:51I would be able to help.
29:53I would be there for people who no one else was there for.
29:56Yeah, that is what we're doing.
29:58So how do we, how do you live with all this darkness?
30:04By reminding yourself that there's more good than evil.
30:09But to be honest, sometimes it feels like I'm just lying.
30:12I mean, evil.
30:15Evil.
30:17Hey, ladies.
30:18Hey.
30:20Morning.
30:22Oh, good.
30:22You're all here.
30:24Denver PD was able to recover the data on the burnt phone.
30:28The dad only ever called one number, and it was a burner phone in Tucson.
30:32So, we are headed to Arizona.
30:35Our subject's phone usually pings off one of these four towers.
30:39That's too wide a search radius.
30:41We're going to need more leads in order to find this guy.
30:43We should look for building supply stores,
30:45places where he can store specialty items to build his torture chamber.
30:48We should also check salvage yards.
30:50He uses scrap metal for his art.
30:51Yeah, that's good thinking.
30:52I already checked.
30:53Sales clerk at a scrap yard thinks she saw a guy yesterday.
30:56But his hair is different.
30:57Shorter, darker.
30:58Well, did he buy anything?
31:00Because if he used a credit card or a payment app,
31:02we can use that to find his new identity or an address.
31:06No such luck.
31:07He used cash, but it gets worse.
31:09He has another victim?
31:11Looks like it.
31:12He was flirting with the woman there, an art student at U of A.
31:15She left with him.
31:16She's now reported missing.
31:19Let me out!
31:23Please.
31:26I'm dying.
31:30We're all dying.
31:32You're suffering.
31:39Easy.
31:41Easy.
31:42Steam will burn you faster than dry heat.
31:45So pace yourself.
31:48This is going to take a while.
31:51Why are you doing this?
31:53Earth, plastic, when you expose them to the elements, they're all very predictable.
31:59But you, Mia, you're special.
32:05And I want to see how this heat changes you and who or what you become.
32:15So please, tell me how you're feeling.
32:19Take your time.
32:27Tucson PD got a hold of the security cam footage from the salvage yard.
32:31Reynolds was driving a late model Silver Taurus with California plates.
32:36Please tell me there's a local address attached to the registration.
32:38It's a no-go.
32:40Cold plate.
32:41Invalid number.
32:42Of course.
32:42So how the hell are we supposed to find this guy?
32:44We do know that his burner phone has only been used southeast of Tucson.
32:48We know he'd seek privacy.
32:49And metal fabrication is loud.
32:51He wouldn't want neighbors close by.
32:52So we look for outlying properties.
32:54Wait.
32:54There is a town nearby, a small place called Three Points, kind of off the grid.
32:59Look for any recent rental properties or anything under a business name to hide his true identity.
33:04Wait, wait, wait.
33:04I'm going to have found something.
33:05Uh, 47 Sasa Bay Road, rented two months ago.
33:09It's isolated, quiet.
33:11Here, make a right.
33:12Right here.
33:36That's his car.
33:37Judge approved the arrest warrant.
33:38We're good to enter.
33:41Carter, Brendan, Atlas, you guys go around back.
33:44Laura and Simone, we take the front.
33:45Remember, this guy blew up his own workshop in L.A.
33:47We have to assume he's got this place booby-trapped as well.
33:50Oh, crap.
33:51Stay with me.
33:53Stay with me, Mia.
33:55What's going through your head?
33:57Do you have any regrets?
34:01Yeah.
34:04I mean, you, you psycho.
34:07Well, that's just mean.
34:20I wish we had more time.
34:22I wish we had more time.
34:25Help me!
34:27Help!
34:28Help!
34:36That's not creepy at all.
34:40Go, go, go.
34:41I got you.
34:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
34:51FBI!
34:52Smoke, back.
34:55Laura, stairs.
34:59Agent down.
35:00Requesting backup in an ambulance.
35:02Are you good to triage them?
35:03Yeah.
35:04I need to backup the others.
35:05I got him.
35:05I got him.
35:06I got him.
35:17Oh, my God.
35:18Oh, my God.
35:20Sick puppies.
35:21Sick puppies.
35:21Sick puppies.
35:22Sick puppies.
35:22Sick puppies.
35:23Sick puppies.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:26It worked.
35:27That's great.
35:28How's it look?
35:29It's pretty gnarly, but it didn't get the artery.
35:31Here, I got you.
35:32Let's get it elevated, okay?
35:34Yeah.
35:34Oh, my God.
36:01Oh, my God.
36:05Oh, my God.
36:07I found her.
36:08She's downstairs.
36:14It's going to be okay.
36:17Simone.
36:20Go, go, go, Simone.
36:22I got her.
36:25Oh, my God.
36:27It's okay.
36:29It's okay.
36:30It's okay.
36:31It's okay.
36:31It's okay.
36:32It's okay.
36:32It's okay.
36:35It's okay.
36:36He's ready.
36:37Go.
36:38Go with her.
36:38Go with Simone.
36:40Go with Simone.
37:03Go with her.
37:25You okay?
37:27Hell no!
37:28This is terrifying!
37:38We just heard from victim assistants, Mia's being released from the hospital, she's
37:43gonna be okay.
37:44Physically?
37:45But that poor girl's gonna carry that trauma for the rest of her life.
37:49Yeah, but thanks to everyone's hard work today, she still has a life.
37:52True.
37:53Also, forensics finished going through the house, found a box of digital memory cards.
37:57He filmed every murder.
37:58There were 12 victims total.
38:00Well, what we learned about his childhood trauma tracked perfectly.
38:02He recreated the conditions of his own abuse to kill his victims, and in his mind he survived
38:08what they couldn't.
38:09That's what I said yesterday.
38:10Which supports the idea that he's ego-driven, meaning to feel in control of, and superior
38:14to his victims.
38:15Who he seduced by forging a connection that he lost with his mother when she died and
38:20that he never had with his abusive father.
38:22So I guess we're both right.
38:23Well, I think I'm more right.
38:25I was right too.
38:26Of course you were both.
38:32So, how long did it take you to go on a date again?
38:35After which divorce?
38:37The hardest one.
38:38Three years.
38:39I was terrified of getting hurt, so I threw myself into the job.
38:43I'm not afraid of dating.
38:44I'm...
38:44Okay, maybe a little.
38:45I'm just...
38:46I'm more afraid of being disappointed.
38:47Evelyn was perfect, and look how that turned out.
38:50It feels like finding the new perfect is gonna be... impossible.
38:54Hey.
38:55Could be tomorrow.
38:56Could be three years from now.
38:58Only you'll know when you're ready.
38:59Now in the meantime, I'm gonna buy you a drink, and then we're gonna find you a new place
39:03to live.
39:04Nice little bachelor pad, huh?
39:06Mm-hmm.
39:06Because that SRO is...
39:07It's gruesome.
39:10It's gruesome.
39:11Yeah.
39:14Hey.
39:16Hi.
39:17Thanks for having my back out there today.
39:20Yeah.
39:21Mm-hmm.
39:21This one was tough.
39:23Mm-hmm.
39:24Can I give you some more advice?
39:26I'm listening.
39:28We often come face to face with evil here, and we don't always come out on top.
39:34So find your own good somewhere away from this job, and just cling onto it with all you've
39:40got.
39:42You do it too, you know.
39:44Mask your feelings.
39:45I mean, you were right about me.
39:47I do it sometimes, but girl, you do it all the time.
39:50I respectfully disagree.
39:52Okay.
39:52Well, what about Atlas?
39:55What about him?
39:56It was a one-time thing.
39:59I don't want to complicate our friendship.
40:02Mm-kay.
40:04I do like what you said, though, about finding your own good.
40:07There is, um, this woman I've been seeing.
40:11Dina?
40:12I'm going to find her.
40:15Mm.
40:15And, um, you do give solid advice, but you should also take some of it.
40:22Because you deserve to find your own good, too.
40:28Hmm.
40:30Oh, my God.
40:31My-my blood phobia's gone.
40:33I can look at anything now.
40:34Thank you, sing puppies.
40:36How do you just get weirder and weirder?
40:37Oh.
40:38Hey, it's a pleasure working with you.
40:40You got my number.
40:40Don't be a stranger.
40:41All right, see you, buddy.
40:42Take it easy.
40:42Yep.
40:45I know why you're hard on him, but you can make a hell of a profile of him one day.
40:50I agree.
40:51But don't you dare tell him I said that.
40:53He has a big enough ego as it is.
40:58I'm glad DC sent you.
41:00We always work well together.
41:02Mm.
41:02And it was, um, nice, you know, to, uh, catch up.
41:09Yeah, catching up was my favorite part.
41:13And, uh, I want to make it clear that I'd really like where this thing is between us to go
41:20somewhere.
41:21But I know that isn't gonna happen.
41:25I hope you know how much you mean to me.
41:28How much I'd love to say yes.
41:30But I just, I lost myself in my last relationship.
41:34And this move to LA, this unit, it's about me finding myself again.
41:40Mm.
41:41Alone.
41:44For now.
41:47But it does mean we can't keep catching up.
41:52Maybe before you leave?
41:54All right.
42:07Good night.
42:39We're right back.
