Those Who Kill

Previously on those who kill: This was Howard's house.

Never felt like home.

Howard killed my brother.

You have no evidence of this.

That's why I need you.

The killer will usually take

a souvenir, a personal object or a trophy,

which he will then display to show off his superiority.

I'm gonna help you.

He's guilty of something.

I just don't know what.

Schaeffer became obsessed with having been wrong.

His wife had him committed.

- She pulled him through it. I won't let anyone hurt him.

It's not anyone. It's him.

Are you sure you want to do this, Catherine?

I've been working for years to this moment.

I'm ready.

Your mother knows.

She's always known.

Oh.

Just what I need.

What, you find your toy box?

'Cause we could use some more batteries.

Duquesne isn't turning on the power until Wednesday.

Probably couldn't find the switch

for this place.

Was it really that bad at your parents' condo

that you couldn't wait until Wednesday?

You're the one that pushed me to find a new place.

I wasn't thinking the Batcave.

If your house still belonged to your ex-husband,

do you think you could stand to live there for another day?

Yeah.

If he was buried in the backyard.

And the rent was free.

Maybe.

The rent wasn't free.

Howard charged me $25 a month to live there,

just to teach me to be responsible.

You know I know that's still free rent.

- Mm-hmm. - It annoyed me so much, I'd write all the checks

for a whole year in one night and put them in envelopes

just so I wouldn't have to think about it.

Oh, he's such a jag-off.

Why did you put with that?

I have no idea.

That's the kind of thing

I could see Dennis doing to Hailey.

I'm surprised he doesn't charge her

when he has her for his weekends.

What the hell is that?

- Aah! - What the hell?

Seriously...

what is up with you?

You've certainly outdone yourself tonight, honey.

I'm sure my eyes are bigger than my stomach.

Honey?

- Honey. - Thank you, honey.

You work so hard for us.

I wanted to make your favorite.

Well, thank you, dear.

That's nice of you.

Son?

Could you pass the carrots, please?

You little shit!

My preliminary investigation into Howard Burgess

finds the presence of two

of Finkelhor's four factors of pedophilia:

Blockage and disinhibition.

Every case I've ever researched

has always been after.

After the murder has been committed.

Years after the killer has been created by whatever factors.

Examining crime scene photos,

interview killers or their surviving victims.

Study published findings in psychology journals.

Always after.

Catherine Jensen...

is happening before my eyes.

Ooh.

Shooting Eric Krogh, I believe...

was to see if she could do it.

And she got her answer.

But here...

in this room

at a late hour,

- (RAPID BEEPING) - I must admit,

for me...

- (BEEPING STOPS) - Catherine Jensen is how an astronomer might feel

if able to observe a nebula of gas

and dust forming, and then igniting into a star.

And yet... I hesitate to commit to her.

I'm afraid of either answer.

Did she find me?

Or somehow,

did I find her?

There's gonna be a coaching change,

I'm telling you right now.

Whoa, ho, ho...

Check out the shine

on that detective's pants.

You know, five years

riding shotgun on patrol with her

and she forgets all about us

once she hits the big time.

So, hey, Eddie, how was it

getting that cat out of a tree?

- Did you call SWAT in on that? - (GEORGE LAUGHS)

It's good to see you, CJ.

What are you doing here so early?

Um...

Hey, how's Jen?

She's great. Hung that painting you did

in the living room... looks great.

Tell her I say hi.

How's Bisgaard treating you?

I hear he can be a real ball Buster.

Oh. Don't be hard on him. He's treating me okay.

Word is he's getting kicked upstairs to assistant chief.

Where's that leave you?

Leaves me still missing my brothers in blue.

You okay, CJ?

Did you come to see us?

Did you come home

because you need to talk something over?

I'm just checking in with the family.

All units, Code 3.

316 Glenview.

Multiple homicides.

- Uh, yeah, let me call you back. - That's us.

- Yeah, I gotta go. Be safe.

Patrol secured the crime scene.

You're the first detective on site.

You're the mom.

You're supposed to protect me.

I don't think I'm much of a protector.

Who called you?

How'd you get here so fast?

Oh, I went to work early; I heard the call.

Yeah?

You call in the body snatchers?

Uh, not yet.

You got that number?

Got a new phone,

and my contacts are all screwed up.

- (PHONE LINE RINGING) - The I.T. kid was...

Mia, it's Catherine.

Got three bodies. 316 Glenview.

Right.

Can you send me that number so I got it?

Sure.

- (ELECTRONIC TONE SOUNDS) - Thanks, Jensen.

Chief.

What have we got?

Cartridges, no gun, no wallet, no keys.

No car in the driveway, no dad in the house.

Got to be the dad.

It's always the dad.

Slow down.

Robert Warner... runs in the circles

with the deputy chief's son.

He's a trustee on the board of a domestic violence shelter.

So you think he slowed down

when she begged him not to kill her...

kill her kids?

Don't give me that.

I've already got units out

looking for his SUV.

We just have to be right.

You know the facts, Chief.

90% it's the dad.

Always the dad.

- (TOILET FLUSHES) - Are you hungover or pregnant?

Families make me barf.

Hello?

Thomas, it's Catherine.

I'm at a homicide crime scene.

Bisgaard wants you in.

If you're up for it.

Where are you?

316 Glenview, Squirrel Hill.

- (KNOCKING) - Let him in.

Two children are dead in their rooms.

The mother, in her bedroom.

I'd like your thoughts on this, Schaeffer, and I'd appreciate

discretion and tact.

Always, Commander.

Upstairs.

Thomas (SIGHS) He killed the children quickly,
