Criminal Minds

Woman: ooh, it hurts!

Please...help me.

Oh, my god! stop!

Take me to a hospital.

Aah!

Help me!

Stop!

Oh, my god, stop!

Ohh! ohh!

Ohh!

Is everything ok?

Oh, god.

Oh, god.

Hey, you.

How are you doing?

Give me the baby.

Wait.

It's a girl.

Don't! no! let me just--

Give me back my baby!

What's next?

Baton rouge thinks they have a white supremacist problem.

What's your take?

Really?

Yeah, i'd like to hear it.

We're dealing with an individual, not a group.

Why?

The angry letters.

The writer switches pronouns from plural to singular.

"we are a heavily armed militia,"

followed by, "i will be forced to take action."

Good. send it back to the police with our analysis.

What else?

You need to be somewhere?

Um...henry's just going through a clingy stage.

It's one less 3 a.m. diaper change when i put him down.

Why don't you go home?

Oh, no, no, no. we only have 5 more cases. we can crank 'em out.

We can do this tomorrow. please go home.

Ok. thank you.

I just have one last distribution and i'm out of here.

Good night.

Good night.

Chief strauss.

Aaron. we need to talk.

Close the door.

[strauss and hotch speaking indistinctly]

I need to review this with the director.

Agent jareau.

Ma'am.

Hotch.

Yes?

Is everything ok?

Yes, everything's fine.

Good night.

Good night.

Reid, what did i miss?

Oh, man, you're not gonna believe this.

Some moron just posted a blog called "what would carl sagan do?"

No, reid, the case. what's the case?

What are you talking about?

These emails from hotch. "take a look at this,"

"new case to review."

Emails from hotch?

I didn't get any emails from hotch, did i?

Nothing.

Come in.

Did you, uh, get a chance to look at the files?

I just got them. what's so important

You couldn't send it to the rest of the team?

I just needed a second pair of eyes.

I'll review it right now. just give me an hour.

That's not necessary.

We're ready.

Kristie taylor, runaway, drug addict,

Reported missing from farmington, new mexico

3 years ago.

Yesterday, she turned up off a freeway

Outside of rio rancho.

Sexual assault combined with ligature marks on her wrists and ankles.

She was asphyxiated.

3 victims in 5 years.

All the women are connected by marks.

He likes chains.

Definite sexual sadist.

He sticks to his type. 16- to 19-year-old girls, all blond.

Hangs on to them for a while, too.

Look at this. average of 2 years

Between abducting them and killing them.

Low body count, long time frame.

This guy's in control of his urges.

Too controlled.

Sadists need new victims, new ways to torture.

There are a lot of guys out there who like chains.

Are we sure this is the same unsub?

Kristie taylor's autopsy report

Also indicates a second connection between these victims.

She was pregnant.

She'd given birth. very soon after, the unsub killed her.

How soon after?

Minutes.

This unsub isn't your typical sexual sadist.

Captivity and assault we've seen before.

What we haven't seen is this signature--

The role he forces these women to fulfill before he kills them.

Motherhood.

Jj: journalist william d. tammeus wrote,

"you don't really understand human nature

"unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round

"will wave at his parents every time around

And why his parents will always wave back."

So why would a sexual sadist make women carry his children?

Gary heidnik kept a harem in a dungeon.

His goal was to create a large family

As a replacement for his own broken home.

Josef fritzl kept his daughter in a cell in his own house,

And they had several kids together.

Squalid conditions are part

Of a control fantasy these men had.

If he's keeping these women in a similar location,

He'd need a lot of privacy.

Morgan: he probably built it himself.

Makes him good with his hands.

Why blondes, and what significance do they have to him?

Maybe, uh, the woman who rejected him

Or the woman who wouldn't bear his children?

If that were true, he'd be the same age as these girls--

Late teens.

This unsub is too skilled for that.

His own mother, then?

She could be a runaway, just like these victims.

Which makes his compulsion psych 101--

Killing his mother over and over again for giving birth to him.

Yeah, but then why wait until after she gives birth?

Now he has a body and a baby to get rid of.

That troubles me, too. we found the mothers but not the infants.

Uh, i hate to say this,

But what if the women are just a means to an end?

What if the babies are really the ones he's exploiting?

If kristie taylor just surfaced,

It means he has her baby right now.

Jj, check with the parents. see if there are any similarities

In the runaways' patterns, where the unsub's finding them.

Reid and prentiss, go to the latest dump site.

We need to look at victimology.

How he treats these women in the final moments of their lives

Might tell us what he's doing to the children.

Doctor, you wrote in your report

That kristie had had several miscarriages.

How was that evident?

There were a number of abrasions in her uterine lining.

Around the third trimester, her water would break.

So she never carried to term?

No, last time she did.

There was a high level of pitocin in her blood.

It's an artificial hormone. you give it to induce labor.

She was on a tight schedule?

If she lost the baby, he would get her pregnant again immediately.

Childbirth is tough enough.

Imagine if your life depends upon it.

All 3 moms had records.

Drug abuse, drunk and disorderlies.

But what's more interesting is what he does after he kidnaps them.

This is kristie taylor 2 weeks before she was abducted.

Hotch: he got her healthy.

Well-fed and off the habit.

Not completely.

These drugs in kristie's system-- what are they?

Tamoxifen, metoclopramide,

Domperidone, progesterone.

Progesterone's a prenatal medication, isn't it?

They all are. the first 2 help carry the baby to term.

The last 2 help with lactation.

What kind of sexual sadist

Gives his victims prenatal drugs?

The kind who takes care of the kids he's having.

He gets his rocks off killing the moms,

But the babies he protects.

You think he's keeping them?

If he despises the moms,

He'd despise their children, too.

New mexico's right on the border.

A lot of human trafficking going on.

This tight schedule he keeps the moms on--

He could be breeding.

Call child protection services.

We need to find out about existing black markets for infants.

Thank you.

There's no tire tracks.

The body wasn't dumped that far from the road.

This guy doesn't care about them,

Not enough to even hide them very well.

That's why this doesn't make any sense.

Dump sites reveal something about the unsub, you know?

At the very least, a geographic familiarity,

A place he knows he won't get caught.

Ok, so he knows this road.

Yeah, except he abducted kristie in farmington
