"I thought about you all day." "don't stop." "we shouldn't." "Vincent is downstairs." "we'll just be real quiet about it." "oh, this is wrong." "excuse me." "you,uh--you-- you dropped something." "hey, almost done." "think I got a bite." "a couple." "one more potential, and then I'm home." "what?" "honey,I'm at work." "I love you,too." "gotta go." "hi!" "uh." "Robert, right?" "ok, I gotta tell you, Robert, of all the houses I have on the market, this one is my favorite." "my name's not Robert." "not Robert." "I'm sorry." "where are you going?" "where are you going?" "her name's Michelle Watson, a realtor murdered in Buffalo a week ago." "until yesterday they had nothing, no leads, and then they got this." "Buffalo P.D. received it from an unknown source yesterday." "they able to trace it?" "no. sent through an encrypt server from Ukraine." "there's no sound." "yeah, at first glance there doesn't seem to be a single frame to identify who shot it." "he even covered up the mirror." "I've seen some crazy things sitting at this table, but that." "why send that to the police?" "well, maybe it's a taunt, to show the police how smart he is." "catch me if you can." "the two people in the video-- they look directly at the unsub and neither one seems to register that they're being filmed." "I think it's probably a hidden camera." "the witnesses were able to give us enough for a sketch." "white male, early 30s, wearing glasses." "it looks like an editing suite." "so he not only films the murder, he edits it." "do we know what this is that's playing on the monitor?" "Buffalo P.D. is concerned that it might be another filmed killing." "if it is, then we're not looking at just one murder, but two." "Buffalo is underfunded, undermanned, and they need our help." "Buffalo's a big gang town." "murder in the last year alone was over 700 people." "Garcia, I need you to go through this frame by frame and put everything on disks." "yes, sir." "I'm on it." "also, put together a go bag." "if we get any more of these films, I want you on the ground taking point." "Is that ok with you?" "Yes, sir." "Excellent." "Ok." "fast forward." "Go bag." "I don't have a go bag." "There's something I want everyone to see." "he's writing something."

"" francis bacon." "a serial killer asking for help." "well that's a new one on me." "attempt at sarcasm?" "what if he's sincere?" "then he's deeply ambivalent." "he wants to stop, but like an alcoholic, he simply can't." "when we see him driving, his point of view is elevated." "I'd say he's driving a van or an SUV." "and the film stops where it starts--at his home." "so we could use the film to trace back, street by street, from the crime scene, right?" "it only lasts 9 minutes." "and in this frame, he clearly looks at a clock, and it's 9:22." "ok, the autopsy says Michelle Watson's time of death was 4:30 in the afternoon." "so, he edited out 7 hours." "Garcia, look for unsolved murders of women in their early 30s who were stabbed," "Buffalo and surrounding cities." "Go back 10 years." "wouldn't vicap have already picked up on that?" "mm, vicap only went web-based about a month ago, and Buffalo P.D. only recently uploaded the data." "they show Watson holding a day planner." "yeah, that, her wallet, and all of her jewelry, including a 3-carat diamond ring." "so we know he's not financially motivated." "first count--I have 22." "22?" "we had 6." "you think it could be that many?" "we went back 10 years and included surrounding cities." "the unsub may be out of his comfort zone." "now, they may not all be connected, but they all match Michelle's type." "blond, white, early 30s." "the autopsy reports will help us determine which of these cases is connected." "I'll get them here right away." "we also need to take a look at the crime scenes, Detective Henderson." "of course." "I'll stay and help Reid." "I'll take Prentiss and Morgan." "tell me, do you think this is a one off or can I expect more films?" "it's not a one off." "the filming of his kills makes him a sexual psychopath." "we'll find more." "many more." "just like this one." "help me is in direct conflict with the psychology of a psychopath, and it's something I've never seen before." "psychopaths don't have the capacity to feel empathy towards others." "they can mimic it, but they can't feel it." "then he didn't mean it?" "or someone or something is showing him who he really is." "ok, friends, the video on this film is analog." "it's since been digitized, but it is seriously degraded." "meaning what?" "meaning this kind of degradation only happens over at least a decade and thousands of repeated viewings." "it's the only way he can get any release." "then you're right." "he's been doing this for 10 years." "uh, more like 20." "that woman in this video-- she's wearing a sweater I haven't seen since Flashdance." "on the day of her death, the 21st," "Michelle entered the name Robert at 4 p.m." "ah, we found no one connected to her with that name and we think it's an alias." "Michelle's highly organized, she's precise, light of hand, so left-handed." "how can you tell?" "the hardest point is where she starts, the lightest point is where she tails off." "in her case, she tails off to the right." "it's weird." "what?" "I'm not sure, but the number 29 is circled twice in red ink and it tails off to the left." "whoever wrote that is right-handed." "that person is right-handed and "Help Me" is written in red." "the unsub wrote the circled 29." "guys." "tomorrow's the 29th." "Hotch is in position, so let's walk through this." "ok, Prentiss, Michelle stood right here." "facing me." "ok." "door's still open." "she didn't shut it." "and now she turns her back to it." "that's her first mistake." "ok, she's on the phone with her husband." "3:55 p.m." "she tells him she has another client coming." "here comes the unsub." "but you don't turn around." "just keep talking." "now the unsub's in the house." "yeah, I hear him." "you hear him, but you don't turn around. not yet." "now you turn." "because if she leaves the front door open and she turns her back, she must have been expecting Robert." "it's an open house." "there's no one else here." "he knew she'd be alone." "she's standing face to face with the unsub, talking to him, and yet she still turns away." "second mistake." "he poses no threat." "yeah, and if she'd seen a camera, she would have registered it." "now she turns, faces the unsub." "he strikes." "right into her chest." "and then he drags her over here to the sofa." "and he films her death." "he chose a controlled environment in which he could ensure privacy." "no witnesses, and most importantly, he didn't have to dump the body." "Garcia?" "Prentiss, the point of view-- she didn't see the camera because the glasses have to be the camera." "thanks, Garcia." "he left us another message." "he circled the number 29 in Michelle's day planner." "so we've only got 24 hours to stop him." "thanks." "Morgan thinks the unsub's glass are the camera." "you need to get a sketch of the unsub out to every camera shop in Buffalo." "if he hunts within a comfort zone, then whichever of these camera shops he visits the most, that's the one he'll live closest to." "all right." "you heard the man." "ok, Hotch also wants us to focus on victims found in controlled locations." "secure areas with little chance of witnesses." "and ones where he left the bodies where he killed them." "ok, based on that, June '98, Emily Flynn, found in her apartment, stabbed 23 times." "Hillary Habner, March 2000, found in her basement, stabbed 18 times." "Cindy Stagnal, April 2001, stabbed multiple times, found in her office." "and May 1999, Vanessa Bright, 29, stabbed and found in her studio." "ladies and gentlemen, it appears as though we've found our timeline." "it looks like our killer strikes almost exactly every 12 months." "oh, my god." "all these women, and he got away with it." "I think we need to inform the media." "Buffalo has a serial killer." "every so often, he's stopping and looking down at the ground." "at what?" "I don't know." "but it's clear he's trying to step around some type of objects." "there aren't any objects." "well, at least not the we can see." "but remember in the film he cut the sandwich and turned it twice?" "and the 29th was circled twice in red." "so this isn't a message." "this is something he has to do." "it's the cracks in the pavement." "that's what he's stopping for." "he's stepping over them because he has to." "he's obsessive-compulsive." "meaning no matter how hard he tries, he simply can't stop himself." "well, if he wanted to, he could have turned himself in." "by writing "help me," he really means "stop me." "go away, go away, go away." "Vincent, it's Alice." "I know you're in there." "ok." "just a moment." "hi." "how you doing?" "where have you been, Vincent?" "it's been weeks." "for a single guy, you're so neat." "what's in there?" "nothing." "how did you find me?" "I dropped you off after the conference, remember?" "aren't you gonna offer me a drink?" "I'm--I'm not thirsty." "I--I meant-- you're weird." "but cute." "Alice, you know, it's-- it's not really ok." "it's not really ok that you just come by my home like this." "you should--you should go." "no, I came because there's a wedding tomorrow and they want you to film and edit it." "I mean, you're the best, Vincent." "well,uh, I'm not doing that anymore." "why?" "it's really late, and I'm tired." "you should go, Alice, yes, please." "the same suspect." "keep in mind." "Vincent, that looks a lot like you." "and he may use hats or other means to hide his appearance." "this man has a type." "he kills women, blond women, in their 30s, and he kills them where they feel safe-- in their homes, in their workspace." "Vincent?" " wherever they are alone and vulnerable." " I have to change my glasses." "there was no purse, no jewelry, nothing to i.d. her with." "whereas with Michelle he didn't care what he left behind." "he knew we couldn't connect her to him." "why did he cover her up and fold her arms across her chest?" "she can't be more than 24." "that doesn't fit his victimology." "well, the chest wound matches that of Michelle Watson." "the way he's positioned her, the blanket, shows remorse." "he probably knew her more intimately than the others." "that's somewhat of a leap." "not when you consider this is the first time he dumped the body." "unlike the others, he brought her body here and dumped it." "yeah." "someone will be missing her soon." "today's the 29th." "he probably killed her last night." "whatever his plans are, he still has them." "we're ready to give the profile." "we've confirmed 11 kills over a 10-year period." "this makes 12." "all but one blond, white female, mid- to late 30s." "be careful." "time me." "Stanley, be careful." "this unsub has extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder." "this woman doesn't fit his victimology." "he probably didn't target or even mean to kill her." "5 camera shops in Buffalo were shown this sketch." "the owner of Tarquinio's camera shop on Union Road recognized it." "he knows him only as Vincent." "he bought two 3-millimeter mini wireless cameras and had them retrofitted to his glasses." "he's well-versed in camera technology." "he probably generates income from a related field." "so stake out the shop, but keep a low profile." "he walks in off the street, he politely waits his turn, he pays in cash." "this is him." "black overcoat, black baseball cap." "you'll get more from your sketch." "now, this last kill shows the most remorse." "this guy's mobile." "most likely in a SUV." "low-profile, mute in color." "he's beginning to devolve." "his OCD will get worse and he'll have a hard time hiding it." "he will take bigger and bigger risks to achieve his ultimate goal." "in Michelle's Watson's day planner, he circled the number 29." "today is the 29th." "so we believe he may have something planned for today." "don't go anywhere." "I'll be right back." "he sent us this film as his way of reaching out." "he may be ambivalent, but his OCD won't let him stop." "now, if he sees a heavy police presence and he's not done, he'll run." "the east side is his comfort zone." "this is where he lives." "however random, anything out of the ordinary, please let us know." "thank you very much." "tell me again what the autopsy report said." "he seems to be killing once a year." "and they were all, except for Michelle Watson, overkill." "he stabbed her just once." "and hers was the only kill he sent footage of to the police." "that's a definitive change." "you're right." "call Reid and Prentiss." "tell them to go over the autopsy report again." "we need to know why." "he sure does like his blondes." "not a good date, though. too stabby." "less so, though, with Michelle Watson and the girl we found this morning." "every one of these murders happens during a month of spring." "so, spring for the unsub is a stressor." "hey." "do you think my video was done in the spring?" "there's a good chance." "ok." "eighties, spring, Buffalo." "search for homicide, see if I can make a connection." "all of the victims except for Michelle Watson were killed within a year of each other." "victim number 10, Joyce Wolcott, stabbed 32 times." "and then Michelle Watson was stabbed just once 2 years later." "what's missing from the Michelle Watson murder is any sign of rage or overkill." "yeah. instead, on the tape we see signs of remorse." "a complete and sudden emotional change." "it's absolutely fascinating." "I love you, Reid, but the stuff you find fascinating is sad." "ok." "the woman in my video." "she looks a lot like the ones on your board, don't you think?" "so he's killing her over and over again." "maybe." "I don't know. not my job." "guys, there was an actual witness in the Joyce Wolcott murder." " a witness?" " a boy." "her son." "53 seconds. you were faster than the first time. what happened?" "ran over a cat." "did you kill it?" "it's a joke." "I'm joking." "I know." "happy birthday, Stanley." "king for the day, right, Vincent?" "right." "I made you a promise. do you remember it?" "of course." "so hold out your hand, palm up." "no way." "for real?" "uh-huh. tonight. it's here tonight." "but you can't tell anyone, ok?" "just tell no one." "you promise?" "promise. no one." "so listen out for me, ok?" "ok." "hey, Vincent." "you know nothing will happen if you step on them, right?" "you're a kid. what do you know?" "neighbors called the police when they heard her son Stan screaming for his mother." "let's see, they were found in the backyard and she was dead." "so he saw the whole thing?" "if he did, why didn't the unsub kill the only living witness?" "did they interview him?" "he was traumatized." "did he see the killer?" "he didn't see anything." "where is the boy now?" "single mom, father dead in a car accident." "he was foster-homed after her death." "tell me he's still in Buffalo." "yes." "how you doing there, kid?" "we're looking for Stanley Wolcott." "who wants to know?" "my name's Derek Morgan." "I'm with the FBI." "FBI?" "cool." "today's your birthday, right?" "can I help you?" "FBI." "I'm sorry to do this today of all days." "but we need to talk to Stanley." "it's urgent." "Stanley's been with me for 9 months now." "the adoption papers came through last week." "so we're moving to california." "uh, Stanley's been blind since birth." "his mom didn't want him to use a cane, so, he, uh." "my way around life." "it's called echolocation." "it's where the sound bounces off objects, kind of like a bat uses sonar." "I'm the batman." "well, hey, batman." "myself and my colleague here, Dave, we need to ask you some questions." "this is about my mom, isn't it?" "yeah, it is." "and I need to ask you-- have you found him?" "I can feel a lie." "we're looking for him, Stan." "we could use your help." "now, what I'm asking you to do probably won't be easy." "will it help you catch him?" "it might." "I'm not sure about this." "it's ok." "I want to." "that a boy." "ok." "2 years ago, on that night, you were playing in the snow with your mom." "she said my lips were turning blue." "she told me to go in and get warm." "she said it was getting dark." "so then you came inside and you took off your gloves." "you took off your jacket." "and you got warm." "but after a while, she didn't come back in." "mom?" "mom?" "Stanley, what do you hear?" "the snow is so thick." "it covers the house, the yard." "everything's so quiet." "you call out for her, but she doesn't call back." "mom?" "mom!" "now I hear something." "what do you hear?" "I think I can hear my mom." "is she talking?" "crying." "now what do you do?" "go outside." "Stanley, we can stop doing this now if you want." "no." "it's ok." "I can do this." "you're doing good, Stanley." "you're doing really good." "I'm right here, ok?" "mom?" "can you hear her?" "no." "I need to find her." "mom?" "Stanley." "someone's here." "I can feel them." "it's not my mom." "that's enough." "enough." "that's enough." "he saw me." "didn't he?" "yes, Stan, he did." "hey, what's up, man?" "looks like you know where you're going." "I don't want any trouble." "see, I don't know you." "I don't want any trouble." "look, you said that twice." "what you doin' walkin' around here, anyway, huh?" "you ain't lost." "hey, man." "hey, look at me." "all right, come on." "you walk like you know where you're going, so you gotta know what's next." "see, this here's my street." "and you pay to walk on my street." "I've been thinking about you all day." "you shouldn't have been." "what the hell is this?" "get out of my house!" "no, wait." "how can you do this with our son in the house?" "so what?" "I don't care." "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "I hate my life!" "mom?" "mommy!" "mom?" "he just came out of nowhere." "he rolled up on us." "which way was he walking?" "that way." "he's heading east." "so your friend shot him, the man defended himself, and you did nothing?" "you ran away and called 911?" "I'd done talking, fed." "I ain't saying nothin'." "I want my lawyer." "you'll get a lawyer." "answer my question." "he shot him once." "where?" "in the stomach." "what was he doing when you rolled up on him?" "head down, walking real fast, like he was late for something." "so you jumped him." "when he didn't give you what you wanted, what did he do?" "at first nothing." "he just started making this noise with his tongue." "what kind of noise?" "ok, listen to me." "yeah, like that. exactly like that." "and he slammed Jay with a knife and turned and came after me." "it's called echolocation." "the unsub's 10th victim-- she left behind a blind son who uses echolocation to get around." "how would the killer know that?" "because he saw the boy was blind the night he killed his mother." "and I think that's why he didn't kill the boy." "wait a second." "today's that kid's birthday." "he's the event." "Henderson, get units to meet us at 6518 Cantwell Drive right now." "he's gone!" "he's gone." "I thought he was in his room." "he said he was tired." "when was the last time you checked on him?" " 20 minutes ago." " did you hear anything?" "I just don't understand." "he would have had to pass me to get out." "Kate, think." "when you checked on Stan, he was asleep, yes?" "he was under the covers." "you closed his door." "you went to your room." "you settled down." "I watched tv." "did you hear anything?" "I, um, I heard a car horn beep twice." "I looked out the window, but I didn't see anything." "he's gotta have 20 minutes on us." "oh, god." "oh, my god, he's gonna kill him, isn't he?" "let's just take a look inside." "are you ok?" "the FBI came to my house." "wow. the FBI." "the man that killed my mom." "he stood right next to me, in the snow." "he could have killed me, but he didn't." "well, maybe he saw something in you." "well, what did he see?" "I don't know." "but, uh. you know, it stopped him." "stopped him from hurting you." "he's back." "he did a bad thing." "he did a--he did a very-- a very bad thing, but." "when he saw you, he knew." "he knew that he couldn't hurt you." "he knew that." "he'll never-- he'll never ever hurt you." "I wish he'd killed me." "there's blood here." "oh, no, please." "it's not Stan." "we believe the man who took Stan was injured. it's his blood." "we think his name is Vincent." "Vincent?" "you know him?" "Stan knew him before he came to me." "for how long?" "for over a year." "he was a registered helper in a mentoring program." "which one?" "oh, god." "Stan has belonged to so many programs." "I can't remember where he met Vincent." "Garcia, I got a name--Vincent." "Morgan, I'm gonna need a surname, honey." "she can't remember." "can you at least cross-reference Vincent's name with all of the mentor organizations in Buffalo?" "I think we'll get more from the video." "we're running out of time." "come on, Garcia, we gotta find this kid." "trust me, ok?" "give me a second." "that's her. that's the woman from the film." "June 5, 1983." "Kim Rowlings was killed in her home." "when police arrived, they found her son Vincent Rowlings." "Garcia-- thank me when we've got an address." "Vincent was found sitting with the body of his murdered mother." "police believe that he sat with her for more than 24 hours." "he was only 9 years old." "he filmed his mother's murder and hid the tape from the police all these year" "Vincent Rowlings, 5605 1/2 Pearl Street, East Side, Buffalo." "tell Hotch we're en route." "I love you." "FBI!" "clear with our son here?" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "I hate my life!" "Get off of me!" "Garcia, I need you to conference everybody now." "Hotch, you've got Rossi and Morgan." "and we have Stan's foster mother Kate here." "Stanley is missing, and there's blood on the windowsill." "Kate, did Vincent take Stan out?" "was there a favorite place they liked to go?" "a park?" "playground?" "no no. like I said, I only allow him to see Stan under this roof, under my supervision." "he's been coming around more since I told him we were moving away." "when did you tell Vincent that?" "like a week ago." "why?" "what?" "he killed Michelle Watson over a week ago." "that must be the stressor that triggered Vincent's behavior change." "Kate, Vincent's drawn the number 29 with a circle around it numerous times." "today is the 29th." "we believe the circle may represent a specific location." "they would have talked about it, or he might even have taken him there before." "did Vincent talk to Stan about adventures that they could take?" "places they could visit?" "what are Stanley's favorite things to do?" "he just likes to make things." "to build things." "Vincent used to help him." " the construction sets?" " yeah." "ferris wheel. it's a circle." "when did he build this?" "over the last couple of months." "he's been in here every night." "Garcia, check Buffalo and the surrounding areas for any theme parks, permanent or visiting." "theme park just outside of Buffalo." "ferris wheel?" "yes!" "let's go." "you both go." "I'll stay here in case he comes back." "I want to go over everything and see how many others we've missed." "got it." "what do you see?" "tell me, Vincent." "what do you see?" "so many colors." "lights everywhere." "is it here?" "the ferris wheel?" "it's here." "It's." "Is it like the one we built?" "Is it?" "uh-huh. exactly." "then let's go." "are you ok, buddy?" "yeah." "I just get a little nervous at heights." "just don't look down." "he, uh, he wants to stop it at the top." "c-can you do that?" "yeah, sure." "just close your eyes." "like me." "it's going up." "move!" "FBI!" "out of the way!" "is it beautiful?" "can you see the stars, Vincent?" "can you see the stars?" "there's thousands of them." "they're all over the sky." "I bet if you lean forward, you can reach for them." "ohh" " I got you." "remember you said you'd wished he'd killed you?" "he's up top!" "out of the way!" "out of the way!" "you can never, ever wish to be dead." "never wish for that." "I saw my mom die, too." "and like my father, I did some bad things." "I did some bad things." "what are you talking about?" "you're gonna hear things." "you're gonna hear bad things about me." "but you can never, ever wish to die, Stan." "because you're special." "how am I special?" "because you helped me to see." "to see." "can--can we go around one more time?" "I need you to get this kid off the wheel." "Do it now." "I don't think so." "I wish you were my dad." "forgive me." "do it now!" "ok, stop there." "now open it." "Stanley, it's Derek from the FBI." "it's ok. sit tight." "Stanley-- what's going on?" "it's me, Derek." "Vincent, what's-- what's going on?" "listen to me." "I need you to come with me." "Let go of Vincent." "just come with me." "I'm getting you out of here." "that's right." "that's right." "it's gonna be ok." "you're ok." "Vincent?" "it's ok. it's fine." "oh, honey!" "Derek." "what's up, kid?" "did he kill my mom?" ""no matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible."" "George Chakiris."
