13x11 - Full-Tilt Boogie

[bunniefuu]

Girl: Dad said no screens.

Boy: He's got one.

Mine's for emergencies.

Give it up.

Come on, it's two nights.

I think you can handle it.

Girl: Yeah?

Are you giving yours up, too?

Maybe I will.

How would we know?

You're not even coming.

And neither is Mrs.

Archer because it's a dad-kid adventure.

Give your mom a break.

You gonna be ok?

I promise.

Ok.

Be good.

[Horse whinnies]

I'm gonna miss you guys.

We'll miss you, Mom.

Have a fun time.

[Truck doors close, engine starts]

[Country Western music playing]

Man: ♪ wind sweeps down from the sky...

♪ [Indistinct chatter, laughter]

Trish, hey!

You finally gave in to girls night.

Thanks for not giving up on me.

Never.

From the guys at the bar.

Which one?

Oh, god, is that Robbie Sturgess?

Tell me he's just passing through.

I heard he can't leave 'cause he's still on probation.

Of course he is.

Who's that with him?

His cousin Rick.

To Trish.

[Laughing]

Whoo!

Woman: ♪ I went to have some fun ♪ ♪ I'm 0 and 7...

♪ Whoo whoo!

Hey, comin' in, comin' in.

I've never seen you here before.

Your old man know you're dancing with me?

No, because I'm not.

Oh, you come dressed like that 'cause you want to dance with some girls, yeah.

That's hot.

Leave her alone, Rick.

Oh, what's the matter?

You want me to go?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Don't worry about that.

Hey, let's go get a smoke.

Woman: ♪ I like the boys and I enjoy...

♪ [Cell phone rings]

Oop.

The ball and chain.

Hi.

Man: Hey, you still with the ladies?

Ha.

Yeah, they're still dancing, but I'm getting some air.

You smokin', Barb?

No, I'm not smoking.

Why would you say that?

You breathe like you're smoking.

You told me that you quit smoking.

Rick: You know, you hurt my feelings in there.

Aren't you going to say sorry?

About what, saying no?

Mm, that's not what you said.

Yeah.

That's what you said.

Get off me, you b*st*rd.

Do you kiss your babies with that filthy mouth?

Go on, I saw you looking for me in there.

You...

Get off!

‭Ooh!

[Coughing]

Yeah, you'd better run!

We're gonna go.

See you later.

See you later.

Yeah.

I've got a jacket in my car.

I'll get that.

No, no, I'm fine.

Are we done?

Yeah.

I just issued an APB on Sturgess.

Do you want me to call Steve?

No, no, he'll just freak out.

And the kids are asleep by now.

I'm fine.

I'm gonna give you a ride home.

Ok.

Really?

You didn't turn your alarm on?

I keep forgetting the code.

I don't feel right leaving you here without it on.

I'll be ok.

Thank you for this.

And again, I'm really sorry for the trouble.

It's really embarrassing.

Sturgess is the one that's gonna be sorry, ok?

You call me if you need anything?

Will do.

Thank you, Mack.

Good night.

Good night.

Aah!

[Digging]

[Digging continues]

[Indistinct]

Prentiss: "My dark secrets are life-threatening." "Pockets of unhappiness set in aspic that build and build." Sue Townsend.

Oh, my gosh.

You guys, this might be a record.

It's just a little bit after new year's and we're actually gonna celebrate our MHM tonight.

Aren't you excited?

I will be in a minute.

What's MHM?

Oh, Garcia named them.

It's a missed holiday meal.

Or as I like to call them, mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Actually, it's a perfect time because Spence just got back from his seminar.

Put on your rain-check boots.

What do we have?

No time to sit.

Trish Gaines.

She was beaten nearly to death, partially buried, and resuscitated in a grave in Hitchens.

She's the chief of police's wife.

She was found in a national park 100 miles from here.

Makes it a federal case.

We also have a suspect on the run.

Rick Sturgess.

He was seen harassing Trish at a bar just hours before she was found.

He's done time for sexual as*ault.

He's never k*lled before.

But he has an outstanding warrant.

Which is why we're teaming up with the marshals.

But I'm not ruling out any suspects.

Whoever wanted Trish dead is still out there.

We'll hit the road in 10.

What do we know about Trish Gaines and her family?

Garcia: They moved to Hitchens about a year ago from Ashburn.

That's right outside of D.C.

and way more cosmopolitan than this.

Yeah, it looks like Steve Gaines was the chief there, too.

Ran for mayor but lost, so he took the lateral move.

Yeah, I wonder how he feels about that.

What about Trish?

Does she work?

Uh, she had a job at the kids' old school.

She hasn't landed anything here yet.

Well, it doesn't look like there's a booming economy and we've passed a lot of vacant stores.

Any chance Trish knew Rick Sturgess before the bar last night?

Not that I can tell.

Neither one of them are on social media.

Sturgess doesn't even have a physical address.

This level of v*olence suggests a personal connection.

Or a rejection.

I mean, a guy with Sturgess' record wouldn't have taken that well.

Sturgess served 5 years for sexual as*ault.

Which means when he was locked up, he learned next time don't leave a witness.

Only he did.

Why didn't he make sure Trish was dead?

Maybe he wanted to punish her by burying her alive.

JJ, go to the hospital.

Trish is still in a coma, but talk to her husband.

Maybe he had a run-in with Sturgess that would make this even more personal.

Dave, Matt, cover the house and the burial site.

Alvez: What do you want us to do from here, boss?

Gather a list of witnesses from the bar last night, also the hikers who found her.

Go through the local PDs interviews with everyone.

I want to know what they had for breakfast.

I shouldn't have left her.

Steve was gone for one night and I didn't keep Trish safe.

That's not your job.

Yeah, but it happened on my watch.

He said he hadn't left her alone before.

What do you mean?

I didn't pry.

Look, I'm wrapping up these witness statements, but Barb Stanhope wanted to talk to you directly.

Ok.

Thanks.

Hi.

I'm Emily Prentiss.

I'm with the FBI.

They said that Rick tried to k*ll Trish?

What if he comes back to actually do it?

We have agents protecting her.

Is there something you wanted to tell me that you didn't want to share with Assistant chief Mackenzie?

Uh...

It's just, uh, I don't want to speak out of turn or anything, but, uh, Trish got more texts from her husband last night than I did, and I thought my guy was obsessed.

Did she seem worried or upset?

No.

I just noticed it and I wasn't sure if I should say anything to Mack, 'cause he's so protective.

You know, the brotherhood of cops and all.

We appreciate you letting us know.

I hope you find him.

Hi.

Chief Gaines?

I'm Jennifer Jareau of the BAU.

Have you found the son of a bitch?

Not yet.

The doctor said he bashed her head in and the swelling is...

Keeping her unconscious?

Yeah.

They're running a kit just in case.

You know.

Uh, if he did, they'll be able to match DNA and this will end quickly.

And what if it doesn't match?

What if he's not the guy?

Whoever did this will be brought to justice.

Well, I hope you find him before I do.

Chief...

Can I talk to you outside?

Hi.

Hi, I'm JJ.

She would have been safe if we all had gone camping.

It was just dads and kids, remember?

I know, but still...

I know your mom is gonna fight to be ok for you guys.

Steve: No, no, it can't be right.

This has to be a mistake.

Have the lab run it again.

Rick: Get off me!

Stop...

Stop.

Get your...

Mack: Come on.

Come on, get in there!

Damn it!

[Door slams]

[Groaning]

Hey, they did this.

Broke my nose!

Ohh.

Ha ha ha, oh, yeah.

I wanted to dance, that simple.

It's not like it's an issue.

Look at me.

She wanted it.

She wanted that?

Who wants that?

I did not do that.

Well, everyone here thinks you did.

And that's a problem for you because this is the chief's wife.

And you're in his house now.

Bad for you, good for me, because the longer you sit here, the more time I have to build your case.

W-wait.

Wait!

Don't leave me!

You can't leave me in here!

You hear Sturgess is in custody?

Not the brightest guy in the world.

Yeah, that's what I thought, until I saw this crime scene.

I saw traces of blood, but there should have been more, considering the head wound.

Cleaning up takes patience.

Sturgess is impulsive.

What about the grave site?

Well, it's a hike from the parking lot.

Whoever did this dragged her most of the way out here.

If they'd had more time, they'd have dug further from the trail.

They even left a shovel out here, as if they were scared off.

It doesn't make sense.

Organized enough to wear gloves and clean up, but frenzied enough to want to bury her alive.

Yeah, I don't think Sturgess is our guy.

Lewis: Prentiss had me call a contact in Ashburn and it is not good.

Trish had multiple visits to the E.R.

Broken arm, fractured ribs, two miscarriages.

Ok.

And multiple E.R.

visits usually means family services.

Yeah.

Trish said she fell down the stairs.

Lewis: She wasn't pushed?

Not according to her.

No E.R.

visits since they moved to Hitchens.

Oh, this case just went from a slam dunk to...

I don't know the right analogy, but it just got a whole lot worse.

Check that out.

JJ, I'm adding Dave and Matt.

You're on speaker.

We're all here, JJ.

Oh, thanks, Trevor.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm here, but...

Prentiss: Uh, sounds like you can't talk.

Ok, we've ruled out Rick Sturgess as our prime suspect.

There was no sexual as*ault on Trish.

As we know, Sturgess is all about the predatory masculine behavior.

He wouldn't have been able to control those urges.

So do we have any other suspects?

It's possible that Trish's husband might be involved.

Where is that coming from?

Barb, Trish's friend, she said Steve was texting Trish all night.

Garcia: 42 times to be exact.

Steve won't release the medical records to us, and Mack told me last night was the first time Steve had ever left Trish alone.

Garcia: Which is weird and possessive, right?

So I did some digging.

Trish has had a slew of, quote, "accidents." I don't want to judge, but they're classic excuses for domestic abuse.

Ok.

But the chief has a solid alibi.

He was camping.

Ah, not so solid.

Their son said when they woke up around 6 a.m., Steve wasn't there.

He got back around 7 a.m.

with doughnuts, and that is when Mack called with the news.

So, he drives home while the kids are asleep, things get heated, he goes too far, has to cover it up.

Yeah, but to do what happened to her, the level of it, he'd have to be out of his mind.

Well, the E.R.

visits could be why they moved.

You know, too many people asking too many questions.

They needed a fresh start in a small town.

Ok, so what's the plan?

You're in a public place, so he will control his temper, and he won't be expecting you to ask how things have been with him and Trish.

You'll get an honest reaction.

Ok.

All right.

I'll, uh, call you back.

[Gasps]

You think that I would try and k*ll my wife?!

Why did she end up in the E.R.

so many times?

Trish is accident prone.

Broken ribs, broken arms, miscarriages.

That's a lot of accidents.

She have a drinking problem?

Is it dr*gs?

No.

No dr*gs, no alcohol, nothing like that.

Well, you gotta give me something here to make me believe that you didn't do this, because right now, I think you did.

I gave up everything I wanted and moved here to make my wife happy.

When we both saw that house, we thought we'd found the perfect home in the perfect town, and now this.

You texted her 42 times when she was out with friends.

That's a little obsessive, don't you think?

I'm a cop, a control freak.

I didn't know she went out.

That make you angry?

It made me worried.

Trish never goes out.

When she didn't text back, I thought about driving home, but I didn't want to wake the kids.

But you left them there.

I had breakfast duty.

I thought everybody would like doughnuts.

I was gone an hour.

Look, if you know anything that could help solve this case, you need to tell me.

Here's what I know.

Someone is trying to frame me for the attempted m*rder of my wife.

And whoever did this knew I wasn't home, and that list is as small as this town.

So, yeah, I get it.

I get it.

It looks personal.

Do I look good for it?

Without question.

But would I do that to her?

Never.

Daddy.

You are the only person who has the power and the resources to solve this.

So I'm asking you, for my family...

please help us.

Kids, come on.

Come on.

[Cell phone rings]

How'd it go?

JJ: He's hiding something.

Like trying to k*ll his wife?

No, he's protecting her and his family.

He's angry, rightfully so.

Then he should give us everything he knows to help us find who hurt his wife.

Unless he's playing it close to the vest 'cause he's afraid whatever he knows is gonna hurt his family.

There's the usual suspects that raise eyebrows...

s*x, dr*gs, rock 'n' roll.

Any of those fit?

JJ: I don't think so.

But he oversold the denial of alcohol and dr*gs, so...

Tox screen?

JJ: We'd have to subpoena it.

Well, if it isn't dr*gs, it could be s*x.

Maybe she was having and affair and tried to call it off.

Or someone covets her.

If they can't have her, no one can.

Rossi: Gossip flies through a town like this.

I'm sure we can ask Mack.

There could be collusion.

We need to keep our deductions to ourselves.

Uh, Mack is here.

Ok.

Call us back.

Did Mack tell you he was headed to the hospital?

No.

Oh.

Interesting that he would disappear during an active investigation.

Mack drove Trish home, and he was one of the first responders.

Every report we've read has gone through his filter.

We need to start over again, bring the witnesses and the hikers back in.

You're probably used to this kind of thing, but I've never seen someone in a coma.

Is she crying?

Involuntary side effect?

Not unless she can hear everything that's going on.

[Cell phone rings]

Excuse me.

Hey.

Lewis: Emily asked us to look into Mack.

He still with you?

Yeah.

Garcia: Ok, so Mack was passed over as chief, despite living his whole life in Hitchens and being primed for promotion.

Steve Gaines swooped in, and he took it.

So you're thinking jealousy.

Alvez: I mean, he could covet Steve's career, wife, family.

You seeing any signs of that?

I'm thinking emotional guilt.

Hold on.

Have a good night.

You, too.

Hey.

Take care, ok?

All right, I'm going to let Emily know that he left.

Copy.

You be safe.

Bye.

So we know Mack's cruiser was at the Gaines house and the burial site.

There's another vehicle.

It's not in his reports.

These treads look like they're from a pickup, which happens to be Mack's off-duty vehicle.

It looks like the hikers are here.

Want to see what they know about Mack?

Mack: You've gotta come clean with me.

Of course I don't think you did this, but maybe you know who did, and the FBI is here.

There's no choice anymore, ok?

Meet me at Cedar bridge.

It's just me.

I'll fill them in after.

You said you'd never hiked that trail before.

Why is that?

Coyotes att*ck dogs out that way.

So your dog found the grave.

Well, the barking got our attention, but the other woman found it.

What woman?

I don't know who she is, but Mack knew her.

Was he surprised to see her?

I think so.

[Door opens]

Who the hell is this woman, and why hasn't Mack told us about her?

[g*nshots]

Unh!

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nsh*t]

Ohh!

Ohh...

No...

[Grunts]

No!

No!

No!

[Gasping]

First they try to k*ll the chief's wife, now they take out his second in command?

What'd Gaines do to piss off the unsub?

I don't know, but it feels like we walked into a town at w*r.

So stay locked and loaded.

Now that they k*lled a cop, all bets are off.

We got an emboldened serial offender and no suspects.

There's one.

There's a female hiker that Mack saw at the burial site.

You still think Mack's involved?

I don't.

But I think he had a lead, and if he'd filled us in, he might still be alive.

He took one in the kevlar, the other one there in the gut, but that's not what k*lled him.

He's got petechiae hemorrhaging in his eyes.

He was asphyxiated.

k*ller made sure he was dead.

They've learned from the mistake they had with Trish.

Officer: Here's Mack's stuff, Agent.

Thanks.

Let's get these to Garcia.

There might be a clue.

The same kind of truck treads are also over there.

It's gotta be the unsub's.

Well, it looks like they lured Mack out here to finish him off.

Just like the burial, this k*ll feels improvised.

Full-tilt boogie.

It's cop slang.

It's when you're riding the adrenaline of a m*rder and you haven't planned what you're gonna do next.

You tend to get reckless.

Learn something new every day.

Hey.

Look who I found.

Spence.

Good to have you back.

It's good to be back.

What's their story?

It's over.

He Oded.

Ninth one this week.

Trish's body temperature is normal, but she doesn't seem stable.

She's shaking and sweating.

Yeah.

‭[Dialing cell phone]

Hey, um, Trish looks like she's going through withdrawal.

My guess is opiates or some other kind of prescription meds.

That's a big accusation.

When I asked Steve about the alcohol and dr*gs, he vehemently denied it.

If she's addicted, her body's built up a tolerance.

Whatever she's getting in here is only providing a fraction of what of what she needs.

So she's detoxing while in a coma?

Yeah.

Look, we need to find out what kind of dr*gs, because this could have something to do with why she was att*cked.

Let me guess.

The doctor's been less than forthcoming.

Oh, yeah.

Everybody's keeping secrets.

Well, if it's widespread in a community like this, everyone's either using, enabling, or in denial.

Then it's time we profile the town.

So we just got the EMTs to admit that there have been 15 deaths, 102 overdoses, 9 babies born with drug-related issues in this county in the last week.

I've got 306 jailed just this month for dr*gs.

The EMTs told us they've gone to a single house multiple times in one day due to overdoses.

So why is this town hit so hard?

Baltimore's the closest port city.

Hitchens county is merely a stop along this heroin highway.

[Cell phone rings]

Good day and news.

Um, I got into Mack's smashed cell phone.

Not a lot of activity.

There is a outgoing call to a pay phone in town.

And I have the last entry in his notes.

Great.

Let's have it.

"Shelly." Those were his notes.

That was his note...

that name.

Has there been a Shelly anywhere else in the investigation?

She wasn't on the witness list from the bar.

Garcia, how many Shellys in the county drive a pickup?

Not a single one.

Ok, keep trying.

It could be a nickname or a last name connected to Trish.

Garcia: All bases covered.

Got it.

Trish was surrounded by a lot of women the night she was att*cked.

So maybe this Shelly was involved, but she just didn't come forward.

What if she's Trish's dealer?

We need to talk to the chief.

Gentlemen.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Hey, Trev.

Do me a solid.

Go work in your room.

If that math starts to bite, just give a holler.

We're sorry about what happened with Trish.

Thank you.

I can't believe that Mack's dead.

He was such a good man.

Mack had suspicions about someone named Shelly.

No, I don't know a Shelly.

Ok, well, here's the deal.

We think you're withholding information that would help us solve who did that to Trish.

And Agent Jareau feels that your wife is showing signs of withdrawal.

Addiction is a disease.

It's not a moral failing.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

But if you're not being honest with us right here, then you're hindering the investigation.

My wife has been losing a battle with oxycodone since she miscarried two years ago.

And the doctor just kept prescribing pills.

No.

He stopped when she got addicted.

I wanted her to go into rehab, but she didn't want anyone else to know.

With all due respect, she's still on something.

She is, but not nearly as much.

Trish was taking 50 pills a day.

She's down to 10.

And I know that still sounds like a lot, but going cold turkey is dangerous and it wasn't gonna work.

And where is she getting them?

I have a slipped disk.

And I can manage on aspirin.

But the doctors are really into managing pain, so...

I can get a prescription.

I'm in charge of the pills.

So it's monitored.

Now I still don't get what Trish's addiction has to do with the att*ck.

We think it's someone who fears that Trish is going to expose them.

A...

doctor or a dealer.

No, there's no dealer, trust me.

You do know you're enabling her.

Yeah.

And because of it, I've gotten too good at keeping secrets.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm Spencer.

I'm Dana.

You work with Jennifer and Penelope, right?

Yeah.

Your dad told my team about...

About my mom.

Yeah.

He just called.

So you came here to watch my comatose, strung-out mom with me?

Got it.

Actually, the reason I came is because Penelope told me you were working on a project for school about the Galapagos Islands, and it just so happens that the book I'm currently reading is about the wildlife there.

It's not for school.

I just said that because it sounded a lot less weird than I was learning about it just 'cause I wanted to.

I learn about things all the time just because I want to.

Recently I've been studying up on fungi for no other reason than I love yeasts and molds.

I think it's, uh...

I think it's because I can relate to them.

You relate to mold?

Well, I...

I learned that fungus is mobile, but it's only mobile because it grows.

And I know with myself that my life seems to get better and I find myself moving into new things as I grow.

Which kind of makes me wonder if maybe you're reading about the Galapagos 'cause you can relate to something about that.

It's a bunch of weird islands.

I do feel like a weird island.

Having trouble sorting out your feelings with your mom?

Look, I know all the stats, and I know how there's a huge drug problem in the U.S., but...

It's just so different when it's my mom.

I know she's been taking those pills and calling help lines, whatever.

I'm still just so angry at her.

I haven't told my mom I loved her in over a year.

I can't.

I do love her.

It's funny that the very thing that's helping your mom get clean might actually be your anger.

There are studies recently that show that traditional forms of care and compassion sometimes don't offer enough incentive to the person with the addiction.

So me being a jerk to my mom has actually been good?

Are you being a jerk because you love her?

Yeah.

It's good.

I just wish she would wake up.

If Hitchens mimics the national stats, there's an opioid addiction in one out of every 6 houses.

And that number has quadrupled in the last 20 years.

So, I talked to all of Trish's friends from the bar that night, except for Kat.

She hasn't returned any of my phone calls, which is especially strange because I saw her talking to Mack yesterday, and I bet you she wasn't telling him everything.

Mack didn't put much in the report.

We should see if she's connected to anyone named Shelly.

Well, it says here that Kat's from Baltimore originally, so what brought her to Hitchens?

[Car trunk closes]

[Loud banging]

What are you doing here, Kat?

I wanted to see her.

No, not here.

Not now.

You're being stupid.

I'm freaked out, Shelly.

They keep calling me, want me to answer questions.

What if they know what you did?

You just hold them off.

I'm gonna come by later, ok?

Mm-hmm.

Get out of here.

These pills are the most prolific serial K*llers we've ever seen.

Alvez: Like a lot of towns in America, I mean, Hitchens could be quietly calling out for help.

Lewis: JJ said there's a community board down at the hospital and almost every flyer is for an addiction hot line.

Wonder who sponsors those.

[Cell phone rings]

Garcia, are your ears burning?

My ears are the same temperature as the rest of my body...

hot.

Oh, that sounds like flirting.

I don't flirt with you.

It's in my mission statement.

What do you need?

Ok, look, we need to know who runs the drug help lines in Hitchens.

That will be next on my to-do list.

I called you to say that the chief is getting his prescription filled by a Dr.

Gorman, but it's all totally legit.

By chance, anybody in his life named Shelly?

Uh...

His wife's name's Michelle.

Shelly could be short for Michelle, right?

JJ just walked in and she looks...

What's wrong?

Trish is awake.

Because I don't know who did this to me.

You know, I got hit so hard, I can't really remember anything that makes any sense.

Do you know anyone named Shelly?

Shelly.

No.

We know about your addiction and that Steve gets you pills from Dr.

Gorman.

That's right, but I never met him.

What about his wife Michelle?

No.

I keep seeing Steve and the kids and they're standing over me when I'm getting buried.

And I know they're not really there and I really, really want them to be there.

And I keep trying to see who's doing this to me, and...

And I can't because there's too much dirt in my eyes.

And there's two or three people.

Someone call 911!

One of them's yelling for somebody to get me help.

And there's dogs barking.

I don't understand [Barking]

Because we don't have a dog.

And I don't know who she is, because I know her...

I can't remember her name.

Dana told us that you called the help line.

Do you remember who you talked to?

It was always a woman.

And Steve and the kids had left that day, and I was worried because I didn't want to relapse.

And so I called and I said that I was alone and I was really scared.

And...

and when I told her that...

Steve was the one who got me the pills, she got really mad.

And I don't really understand why she got so mad.

I told her that everything's gonna be ok because Steve is a cop.

And so...

Sorry, agents, Trish needs some sleep.

It's...

it's not a problem.

He's trying to help.

Here, here.

Ok.

Ok.

Reid: She unknowingly told the unsub she was alone and vulnerable.

JJ: What do you got?

So, so much.

Ok, so, the help line that Trish called, that was called the Fairhope center helpline.

But these are 6 other help lines in the area.

Each one of them spends a hunk of money on those social media ads, the ones that look like news articles.

What they make up for in visibility, they lack in accreditation.

All of their board of directors, the doctors, they seem imaginary.

Here is the kicker.

Each one of these, they're owned by the same person, Michelle Mackrel, aka Shelly Mackrel, Dr.

Gorman's wife.

So Shelly's paranoid.

She went to extraordinary lengths to keep tabs on the addicts after they called.

It was only a matter of time before someone triggered her.

JJ: And she finally snapped when Trish called.

Why would Shelly want to k*ll Trish?

Her husband isn't doing anything.

He's just prescribing medication.

It's totally normal doctor stuff.

He has nothing to hide.

Well, then Shelly must.

I'm guessing she's dealing on the side.

If she's worried about going to jail, she'd make sure there's a patsy.

Does she have a history of this or any family in the area?

Ok.

I just found this out.

I'll check into history right now, and...

Small town, small world.

Shelly has a sister.

Kat Mackrel.

That's Trish's friend.

How was ballet class?

Was it good?

Yeah, it was fun.

Well, I'm working really hard to find us a nice place.

Ok, but I like my room.

I know you do, Justine.

But don't you want sleepovers?

Yeah.

Ok.

So I'm gonna find a way for us to do that.

[Kat chuckles]

Ok, so Kat has a nasty history of addiction.

Back in 2014, she almost Oded with her newborn in the car.

The courts granted custody to the Gormans.

What do we know about Shelly and Kat's past?

They come from the same violent broken home, single alcoholic father.

Shelly dropped out of school.

She started working a lot in Baltimore.

She got fired a lot, had a long list of court mandated anger management classes.

Well, that rage would explain the extreme att*ck on Trish.

Lewis: So she cleans up her act, moves to Hitchens, meets a nice doctor, marries up.

She's manipulative.

It sounds like this is about survival for her.

I mean, she'd do anything to keep the life she's made for herself.

Garcia.

Ok, I'm sending Kat's apartment and Shelly Gorman's address now.

The thing is, Kat, I mean, since we were kids you've been terrible.

You lie...

look at you.

You're never going to get it together.

I'm trying.

It's just that you made me...

Made...

made...

Made you what?

Help you.

No, that wasn't...

That wasn't a choice.

Trish was gonna get us all into trouble.

And if Joe and I got in trouble, we wouldn't be able to provide a safe life for Justine.

I know you're dealing, but you didn't have to k*ll anyone, Shell.

And now the FBI are here.

They're gonna figure it out and then what, hmm?

They're gonna figure out what you've done.

You've done all this, Kat.

That's the story.

There's no choice here.

You remember what happened with Dad?

It's like that.

Because if you drag me into this, you'll ruin everything for her, ok?

Think about it.

You can go to jail...

Or you can just go to sleep.

You want me to k*ll myself?

[Crying]

She'll grow up without me.

She already is, Kat.

You made your choice after she was born.

You love these little pills more than you love her.

The courts...

the courts agree.

That's why they took her away from you.

Look, Joe and I just want to provide her a safe home, one that you and I never had.

[Sniffles]

Honey...

Say good-bye to Mommy.

We just got here.

I know.

We're just having a quick visit today.

Come on.

Hey.

I love you so much, sweetheart.

Let's go see Uncle Joe, ok?

Say "Bye, Mommy." Bye, Mommy.

Hey.

I just found out more bad news about Kat and Shelly.

When they were teenagers, their Dad was brutally att*cked, a lot like what happened to Trish, and the trial put Kat in juvie.

Shelly could have talked Kat into taking the fall and did it again now.

Kat's daughter isn't safe with either of those women.

Well, that little girl would be safe with Dr.

Gorman.

He's totally checking out.

His only sin is marrying that Shelly.

Shelly Gorman, FBI!

Keep your hands where we can see them.

Stay right where you are.

No, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

You've got this wrong.

You're under arrest for the m*rder of James MacKenzie and the attempted m*rder of Trish Gaines.

Don't you come near me!

Don't you dare touch me!

Joe!

Joe, call a lawyer!

Honey, I'll be right back.

You are making the mistake of your life!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

She's down!

And there's no breath, no pulse.

Alvez: Medics are here.

[Moaning]

Rossi: She's alive.

If we live in the land of the free, why are so many people numbing themselves?

They're just in a lot of pain.

Physically, emotionally.

dr*gs seem like their only solution.

They're not a solution.

Thank you, guys, for being here.

We're just glad your mom's awake.

She's gonna be ok.

So are you.

Let's get ready.

Reid: For what?

You'll see.
