Criminal Minds

Previously, on "Criminal Minds"...

Our unsub is Everett Lynch.

He's a con man and a murderer

who slices off the faces of the women he seduces.

This was the first time that I was beaten

by someone younger, faster,

stronger than I am.

- Now, what's your name? - Grace. I'm Grace.

Grace?

Daddy!

We arrested his daughter Grace,

but he got away.

Honey, don't be so hard on yourself. You just gave birth,

and somehow you're glowing.

I can't even imagine what I'd look like.

Thanks. You're sweet.

A liar, but sweet.

Kim, I know we're not as close as when we were kids,

but I just want to say... I'm sorry this happened.

And one day you'll be a fantastic mother,

I promise.

Clara's up. You should go.

Mmm. Mama's right here, sweetheart. Shh...

I'm so happy for you, Annie.

Love you.

Talk to you later.

No!

No!

Aah!

Come in.

Heard from Reid? No.

He usually disconnects when he's off teaching his seminar,

but he'll be back next week.

I know how much you care about Spence,

but that can't be the main reason you're standing in my office

at midnight with a file in your hand.

The latest on Everett Lynch.

Dave, I appreciate your effort on this,

but we have a lot going on.

I need your focus here.

I know, I know.

It's moving so slow.

We aren't any closer to finding this jag-off

than we were yesterday.

Any luck with his daughter Grace?

She didn't say much.

Put her in solitary, see how long she lasts.

It's Garcia with a new case.

Look, Dave, I have no doubt in my mind, we'll get him.

But if you try to rush it,

things will get sloppy.

You just have to trust the process.

When do I not trust the process?

Good point.

You are headed to Lewiston, Maine.

It is the second-largest city in the state.

It is also a place that could be the setting

for any horror movie ever made.

It's also where two women in the last 5 days

have been overpowered with blunt force trauma

and stabbed 22 times in the stomach.

Neither were mothers and neither were pregnant at the time.

This kind of frenzied overkill,

it feels personal.

So, do we have a primary suspect?

Uh, no. Uh.

But victim number one was Linda Stahl.

She was single. I can't find an ex in her past.

Victim number two, Kim Reynolds,

she was married. Her husband works nights.

Let's double check his alibi.

This unsub not only has the guts to enter his victims' homes,

but these kills are vicious and quick.

I wonder how he's getting inside the houses.

Could use a ruse or he's good at picking locks.

Well, Maine's pretty rural. I wouldn't be surprised

if these victims didn't even lock their doors.

And both houses had basements.

It's a common point of vulnerable access.

So are we looking for a misogynist here, a scored lover,

a... guy with mommy issues, or a combination of all three?

Regardless, our unsub has shown a high level of violence,

a willingness to take risks,

and he has struck twice in less than a week

with no sign he's about to stop.

Wheels up.

I've got this.

Oh, no, it's a lot. You can't do that alone.

But you cooked a 4-course meal for 6 people alone.

I am exhausted.

And I have to be at the studio really early tomorrow.

I only have two weeks left until my installation.

You'll finish in time.

And when you do,

it'll be your best show yet.

Best.

We'll see.

Carly?

Aah! Aah...

*CRIMINAL MINDS* Episode Title: " Sick and Evil"

Sync corrections by srjanapala

"Terror made me cruel."

Emily bronte.

It is with a heavy heart I report there's been a new set of victims.

Two attacks in less than 12 hours. He's speeding up.

Did you say "set," Garcia?

Yeah, I did. It was a couple this time...

Carly and Brad Davis.

I'm sending you the info now.

First time it's been a couple.

Breaking into a house and attack one person is difficult enough,

but going in while there's two people, that's even riskier.

Brad was stabbed in the stomach

and severed a major artery.

He died almost instantly.

Carly was murdered just like the first two victims,

Linda Stahl and Kim Reynolds...

Stabbed 22 times in the stomach.

It says here Brad was stabbed 21 times

in the stomach post-mortem.

It's that number, 22.

It's the unsub's compulsion. He can't get away from it.

Then we need to figure out why.

Well, age seems to be the one overlap between the 3 female victims.

They were all born within a year of each other.

They could be surrogates.

Well, let's try to find a deeper connection between them...

I'm all over that.

When we land, Dave, Matt, headd to the M.E.'s Office.

Tara, JJ, you'll go to the latest crime scene.

Luke, you and I will set up with the Lewiston P.D.

Detective Miley, I'm ssa Emily prentiss with the FBI.

This is my colleague, SSA Luke Alvez.

Pleasure to meet you both. Welcome to Lewiston.

Thanks for inviting us in.

Once it happened a second time,

I knew we couldn't handle it on our own.

Is there some place we can set up?

Yep. Conference room's right over there,

and Jeff Reynolds, Kim's husband, is here

and ready to be interviewed.

Great. We'll start with him.

Right this way.

Kim was desperate to have kids.

It took us almost 3 years,

but we finally got pregnant.

And the day after we found out,

we started building the nursery.

But...

Then a few weeks later, she miscarried.

To make things worse, her sister just gave birth

to her third, a girl this time.

Kim was crushed.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Jeff.

I can't imagine how difficult that must have been.

It made our recent arguments around the house even worse.

What was happening with your house?

We both started hearing noises.

What kind?

I figured it was mice.

I set traps, called pest control,

but nothing.

Kim didn't think it was mice, did she?

No.

She thought it was footsteps.

We argued that, um...

What did you argue about?

I mean, if somebody was inside of our house,

we would have seen them, right?

Under normal circumstances, yes.

But after hearing this,

Jeff, we think it's possible

this offender was in your home before your wife's murder.

We need to know if you saw anybody new

hanging around the neighborhood.

Wait.

I could have stopped this?

If Kim wanted to get pregnant,

maybe Linda and Carly did, too.

We'll have Garcia look into it.

Yeah, it looks like the unsub ran pre-attack surveillance on Kim.

I bet he did the same with the others.

To get in and out of houses like this,

our unsub must also be savvy and experienced.

It's classic pre-cursor behavior.

And if nobody saw him casing the area,

he must blend in.

In some way, this guy's the perfect unsub.

We've busted perfect before.

We'll start by re-canvassing the victims' neighborhoods.

Hopefully somebody saw him coming or going.

You're with the FBI.

Yeah. And you are?

When I heard there was a crime at this house, I had to get here.

And what's so special about this house?

Well, little-known fact,

60 years ago, a man killed his wife here.
