Criminal Minds

Drew. drew, just--

Just stop.

I get it.

That's why allison is with you.

Oh, god.

I am dealing with it.

Ben!

Well, you took her from me, remember?

Ben, i thought you paid the bill.

What are you doing?

Ben?

Aah!

Any closer and the image will distort.

How is jack?

He's real smart. had us in tears.

Great kid.

Haley?

To be honest, we're moving them to a halfway house.

I thought you had found a permanent location.

Haley made a number of phone calls to her mother.

It's all good, but to be safe,

We have to move them.

Sam, thank you.

I promise you,

No harm will come to them.

You just concentrate on getting foyet.

Happy birthday, buddy.

You got a second?

Sure, what is it?

A case just came in.

I'll be right there.

Actually, i need to talk to you.

It's on commack, long island.

That's your home town.

Yeah. and if it's ok,

I'd rather stay behind.

Why?

It was a different life,

One i left 30 years ago.

I'm in no hurry to go back.

Well...

Any other day, i'd say stay,

But i just became aware of this.

What have we got?

Ben vanderwaal was killed in commack, long island,

Last night, shot at close range,

Once in the heart, once in the head,

.22 caliber shell.

They found hair and blood traces

From ben vanderwaal's wife heather.

But not heather?

No, she's still missing, presumed dead.

The caliber and placement of the bullets

Match that of two previous victims.

The first, rita haslat.

8 months ago she went missing from her home in new jersey.

4 weeks later, she was found in a trash bin.

She went from that to this in under 3 weeks?

She's totally emaciated.

Ligature marks on her wrists and ankles

Indicate she was constrained.

One in the heart, one in the head-- same as vanderwaal.

Sounds more like an execution.

Then why cut off vanderwaal's hands postmortem?

What about the third victim?

Bill levington.

His appearance was certainly altered.

His genitals were missing.

Though the method of mutilation is different in each crime,

Clearly there's a signature. the question is, what?

Wheels-up in 20 minutes.

What's this?

You told me you were cleared to travel. you lied.

Naughty boy.

Uh, no, i didn't.

I am a doctor, so technically, i wasn't a lie.

What was it, then?

Um...second opinion.

Hmm. you're my bitch now.

Sync by steelball

Rossi: "justice without force is powerless.

Force without justice is tyrannical."

Blaise pascal.

In the ben vanderwaal case,

His hands were taken.

Uh, bill levington, his genitals.

Only in the rita haslat case she was starved and tortured,

Then executed,

And there's no sign of postmortem mutilation.

Why would he take heather vanderwaal

And not simply kill her?

Maybe he hasn't and she's still alive.

The only thing concrete is the m.o.,

Which depicts an efficient no-nonsense murderer.

Well, then we need to figure out

What each act of mutilation means to the unsub.

Or to the victim.

It's pretty much how we found it.

There's no signs of forced entry.

It says in the file that heather vanderwaal has a daughter.

Where is she?

She moved to san diego to live with her real father.

Ben and heather vanderwaal

Have only been married a couple of years.

So heather came in, she dropped her shopping bags,

Her cell phone, and her keys, but not her coat.

She turns on the lights.

But they didn't work,

Because the phone and the ectricity were cut.

Something in this room attracted her attention.

What is it?

Marks in the blood look like a camera tripod.

Serial killers, especially sexual sadists,

Often document their kill.

But sexual sadists usually torture their victims

While they're still alive.

You still didn't find any conflicting dna?

No. no prints, no fibers, nothing.

Nobody heard any shots?

no. oh, excuse me.

Yeah?

All right.

Heather vanderwaal was just found

Wandering the streets half hour ago.

She's at brookside general.

Get jj over there.

A killer this sophisticated doesn't leave a living witness

Without a reason.

Heather, my name is agent jareau.

I have some questions for you.

So you came home,

You tried to turn the lights on,

But they didn't work.

What did you do next?

I saw a light.

A flash.

I opened the door,

And ben was there,

Tied to a chair.

I think he was dead.

There was another flash.

It blinded me for a moment.

Did you see your attacker?

No.

Did he say anything?

No.

I heard this noise.

What kind of noise?

Sawing.

I watched him cut off ben's hand.

Why didn't he kill me?

Excuse me.

Jj: garcia.

We've been getting to know heather vanderwaal.

I can't tell you her favorite beatle,

but i can tell you she was living la vida unhappy.

What did you find?

Reid: her ex-husband took her daughter allison

Out of school mid-term. after that, heather cut a check for $5,000

To a place called lewis, bell, & peters

6 days ago.

Law firm?

Family law.

Thanks.

Mrs. vanderwaal...

At mid-term you moved your daughter out of school?

Yes, i did.

After that, you filed for divorce from ben.

This man left you alive for a reason.

I need to know if these two things are connected.

A few months ago,

I found a picture of allison on ben's phone.

Your daughter.

She was naked.

Where was it taken?

I couldn't tell.

Did you confront him?

Yes. he claimed that

Allison sent it to him by mistake.

She meant to send it to another student at her school.

It's called sexting.

What did allison say?

She said ben took it,

But she--she lies.

Allison, she's a liar.

She caused us a lot of trouble, you know?

She wasn't lying about this, though, was she?

No.

The hand removal is less than surgical.

He used a basic double-toothed saw.

So, the guy we're looking for

Has no medical training.

Not the kind i've had.

One in the heart, one in the brain, close range.

The second one was right up behind the ear.

How about gunshot residue?

Surprisingly little.

Maybe it's because the killer was using a .22.

Small caliber, small discharge.

Hmm.
