Criminal Minds

yeah, i got the good stuff.

Yeah, i said yes.

Later.

Sorry.

Here, i'll get that.

Oh.

It's really sweet of you to walk me to my door.

Thanks again.

Well, good night.

Uh...

Ok...Take care.

So...

You like champagne.

What?

Champagne.

You have expensive tastes.

We're done here. You need to go--

Aah! Aah! Aah...

Wow!

I haven't seen one of these beauties in a long time.

It looks mint.

Thank you.

Who's your restoration guy?

Oh, um, you're looking at him.

My dad has an auto repair shop.

He taught me everything i know.

It took me 5 years to restore this puppy.

Impressive.

I inherited my uncle's '47 buick.

Now, that is a sweet ride.

Sure, but i don't have to tell you,

Original parts are rarer than hens' teeth.

I'm still looking for a...Radio antenna knob.

It's funny, it's like we can track down

The world's most dangerous and elusive unsubs,

But we can't find that one specific car part.

Yeah, but it's worth it.

I mean, what's better than cruisin' with the windows down,

Wind in your hair, music playing,

Sinatra, bennett, dean martin.

Hendrix, zeppelin, anything by the doors.

Just you and the open road.

Nothing but time on your hands.

And...Duty calls.

Indeed.

Boston p.D.'s requested our help. Garcia?

Ok, uh, this case is not for the faint of heart.

So if i faint, that's why.

Uh, a week ago, the headless body

Of 20-year-old lily chang

Was discovered in a playground in roxbury,

Then two days ago 45-year-old denise wagner

Was discovered in the north end.

Her body, sans head, was left on an old couch by the curb.

The north end and roxbury

Are two distinct neighborhoods in boston.

They're only 5.1 miles apart geographically,

But they're worlds apart

In terms of racial and socio-economic makeup.

Did the women live in the neighborhoods where the bodies were found?

No. Lily lived across over in cambridge,

And denise was from beacon hill.

Well, the unsub must have used a van or other vehicle

To transport the bodies.

Not to be indelicate, but any sign of the heads?

No, nothing yet.

The media must be having a field day.

Oh, you could say that.

Oh, well, not nearly as clever

As that infamous

"headless body in topless bar."

He dumped the bodies in public,

So he obviously wants them found.

But why? What's the endgame?

Maybe he's getting off on shocking whoever finds the bodies.

Spreading panic and fear.

Well, he didn't take their handbags,

Jewelry, or wallets.

No, the only thing missing was their cell phones.

Well, that and their heads.

All right, so robbery's not a motive,

And there's no evidence of sexual assault, either.

But why these women, and how did the unsub cross paths with them?

That's what he need to find out before he strikes again.

Wheels up in 30.

Please.

Please, why are you doing this?

No--i--i will put it back.

Oh, no!

Oh, my god, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Aah! No!

Please! Please just let me go!

I'll never do it again! I swear!

I swear!

Oh, my god. No.

I swear. I swear.

Aah!

"to educate a person in the mind

"but not in morals

Is to educate a menace to society."

Theodore roosevelt.

Both women were low-risk lifestyle victims,

But if there's any connection between them, i'm not seeing it.

Well, the first victim, lily chang, was a chemistry major at m.I.T.

She was last seen tutoring kids in an afterschool program.

Denise wagner was a banker,

Divorced, lived with her teenage son.

She disappeared after speaking at an investment seminar.

Cutting off someone's head isn't easy.

Why pick that method to kill?

Terrorist groups often use beheadings

To send a message or a warning.

Historically it's been used for that purpose,

Starting with the ancient greeks and romans.

In 11th century england beheading by sword

Was introduced by william the conqueror.

And of course thousands of people were beheaded

During the french revolution,

Including louis xvi and marie antoinette.

Could the be the work of a terrorist cell on u.S. Soil?

None have claimed responsibility.

So what's he doing with the heads?

He could be keeping them as human trophies,

Or like jeffrey dahmer and dennis nilsen,

He might have partialism and he's using them

For his sexual gratification.

Or they could be giving him a sense of ownership

Over his victims.

Maybe he's got an exaggerated fear

Of female rejection and a severed head

Can't talk back or say no.

Those are all valid theories, but we have to ask ourselves,

Why is he killing now?

Sir, a body of a third headless woman

Was found in boston.

Her name is amy gibb. She was a bartender

At the seaport.

Where was the body found?

On a bench in boston common.

The commons is right in the heart of downtown.

The unsub couldn't have picked a more public place.

Lily chang was killed a week ago,

Denise wagner two days ago,

And now amy gibb.

Garcia, tell boston p.D. We're on our way

And to preserve the crime scene.

And, baby girl, search for men in boston

And the tri-state area

With criminal histories of sex crimes.

Concentrate on those with fetishes involving heads.

I'm on it, but i feel icky already.

All right, when we land, morgan, you and reid go to the latest crime scene.

Dave, you and jj find out what you can from the m.E.,

And lewis and i will get set up with local authorities.

Excuse us. Fbi, let us through.

Hey, is this the work of the beantown beheader?

Does the fbi have any leads? Where are the heads?

No comment.

Vultures out in full force today.

Detective connie lawlor.

Ssa derek morgan.

This is dr. Spencer reid.

Who found her?

Couple of teenagers.

My partner brought them down to the station.

Bet they wish they hadn't cut school today.

Cutting off somebody's head.

Wicked brutal if you ask me.

It's also messy. But there's minimal blood here.

Same as the first two crime scenes.

The unsub most likely has a secluded place

To do his work before displaying the bodies.

Bruising and swelling on both their hands.

Maybe she tried to fight him off.

Well, it doesn't appear she was dragged through the grass,

So the unsub obviously has the strength to carry the body.

Without the head, the body would be a lot lighter.

Not necessarily. The average adult human head

Only weighs approximately 10 pounds.

Well, we had a canine unit out searching for hers.

Did you find any personal effects?

Like the first two victims,

He left the jewelry in her bag,

Money and credit cards.

What about a cell phone?

We didn't find one.

I think they're burn marks,

Most likely from taser prongs.

The others had 'em, too.

Well, it's gotta be how he overwhelms his victims.

He's getting close enough to make contact.

Yeah, but how?

I'm sorry i'm late.

She's in here.

Cut looks clean, surgical.

As if amy's head was taken off with a single blow.

Do you need to have a medical background to do this?

Not necessarily, but you'd need something razor sharp

To achieve this precise a wound.
