19x01 - Now and Then

[bunniefuu]

Last season on Criminal
Minds: Evolution...

OCHOA: Mr. Voit appears
to be suffering from

a retrograde amnesia.

Do you feel, in your heart of hearts,

- that you're a good person?
- VOIT: I feel like

I can be.

They're saying that Will
suffered an aneurysm.

Will's dead.

He's gone.

REBECCA: It's Tara. She's been... shot.

No matter how scared you are,

no matter how hurt you are, I'm here.

TARA: Rebecca, this team...

they're my chosen family.

That's why I needed to ask
you this in front of them.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

[GARCIA SQUEALS]

PRENTISS: Tyler Green, your success

with this special
assignment means the BAU

will be your permanent assignment.

GARCIA: This Disciple person just made

a hot, steaming mess of a mistake.

And we are now looking
at the current location

of every nefarious follower

left on Voit's network.

What's important now is justice.

You want justice, Dave? Then make sure

the prosecutor pushes
for the death penalty

for every single one

of the Sicarius cases.

- The only way to do that...
- Is with a confession.

I confess.

- I did it.
- Sicarius.

- That's him?
- That's not me.

- You're wrong.
- The f*ck we are.

Luke, you are live in
five, four, three, two...

Yesterday, three people
were reported missing

and one just turned up
dead on a remote trail.

Uh, hikers found him this morning.

Griffin Fuchs, 27, just
back from the Peace Corps.

Last night he was
driving on a remote road

with his grad school friends,
Laurie Raines and Mark Benton.

They're still missing.

Now, Griffin was k*lled, posed and left

in the same area as this man,

who was also found by hikers.

Massive bleeding from the chest

looks like the COD. But what caused it?

A shovel.

It was used to k*ll them both.

It's evident that this UnSub
has a disposition ritual.

Yeah, but get this:

That victim was found in 1996.

JJ: If we're looking
at the same UnSub here,

this guy is 30 years older

and still healthy and strong
enough to take three victims.

His shotgun did some talking.

Found a spent shell near the car.

It's rare to see a victim
on display like this,

especially at the same dump site.

He's taunting law enforcement.

But why wait 30 years?

Well, there's a chance
it's not the same UnSub.

Right? If this was covered
back then, could be a copycat.

But like Dave said, why start
now? And why these victims?

Well, you said they were driving
on a remote road at night.

It could be a simple
wrong place, wrong time.

Any other reports?

Another couple about a month ago.

We don't know if they're connected.

Find out. Meanwhile,
we've definitely got

two missing people and our only lead

is a 30-year-old cold case.

could be "couples on a road trip".

Well, it was late. Dark.

Griffin could've been a surprise

and that's why he was k*lled so quickly.

Yeah, but... but why couples?

It's, like, double the
risk and the effort.

So his reward has got
to be greater, right?

There's something about the
dynamic that he craves...

being outnumbered but he
still has all the power.

A team eliminates some risk.

Whether it's one or
more, they are sadistic.

first victim from 1996.

It's Jon Layton, 28.

Showed signs of t*rture,
malnutrition and dehydration.

A year?

the posing took time and effort.

The UnSub knew that area.

He wasn't worried about getting caught.

Yeah, and that's not all.

Apparently, there was a
female victim found close by.

Susan Cartwright.

Well, is she still alive?

Okay, I'm doing digging. Ugh. Too soon.

This guy keeps getting more extreme.

Multiple victims for almost a year?

Well, here's some good news...

that female survivor, she's still alive.

We need to talk to her.

So, what? We-we just rot in here?

Don't reach for a lifeline?

No.

Hey. Bodhi?

- Oh, my God.
- They, uh,

they took our friend and
haven't brought him back.

Did they ever take you guys anywhere?

Ever since they ran us off the
road, we've been stuck here.

What do they want?

Some days, nothing.

- Others...
- It's not worth fighting back.

BOHDI: Yes, it is.

Yes. No, we have to fight back.

JULIE: No, no, no. Trust me.

They'll do whatever they
want even if you fight back.

They get off on doing it in front of me.

They make me watch.

Doing what?

All of it.

Don't fight.

You'll just get hurt more.

There are four of us.
They are outnumbered.

We cannot let them do this to us.

No, they thought of everything.

Having all of us here,
it's some twisted sh*t.

So you're just giving up?

No, no, no, but to survive,

you need to know what to expect,

and right now? You just
have to expect the worst.

my husband or me. How about you guys?

Oh. Uh, no...

My... it's my late husband.

He passed just over a year ago.

I'm so sorry, I forgot to say "late".

I'm so sorry. I... I didn't...

- It's okay.
- Ugh,

I can't even imagine doing this alone.

I don't know how you do it.

Sorry. Um...

How can I help?

Uh, please, have a seat.

So, we have read over
your survivor statement,

but we're hoping that there's
a detail you can remember

now that you couldn't back then.

I mean, I can try.

Uh...

I've told the story so many
times, it's kind of rote now.

My therapist says that I have
detached emotionally from it.

Well, I can't blame you.

It's a classic survival skill.

It was just you and Jon?

As far as I know.

And what can you remember
about who did this to you?

Well, it was just one man.

He didn't have a partner
or friends or anything.

It was only ever him.

That was enough.

Did he keep you in a house?

Not a house. It was this, um...

like a room, with

this overhead light and one
of those popcorn ceilings.

I used to look up at it.

I'm sorry, is this... is
this what you're looking for?

Uh, you're doing great.

- Yeah.
- Okay. Um...

I remember, like...

these weird little things.

Like...

his boots.

- These dirty work boots.
- [CRYING]

I was...

assaulted every single day.

I'm sorry, I...

thought I put all this behind me. I...

I've never...

I've never told anybody

what really happened back then.

Thought it would be easier
to just keep it a secret.

Nobody to feel sorry for me.

Nobody to explain it to.

Susan...

you are safe now.

You can tell me.

I really thought I was gonna die there.

And...

you know, part of me did.

That man broke us.

You know, destroyed our

faith in everything. And...

Jon was so... devastated.

I begged him

to help me, but he was chained,

and that man...

- got me pregnant.
- [SOBBING]

I don't know

how I stayed that way. I was so

sickly.

He barely fed us. I was...

shackled and emaciated.

Anyway, I... I...

gave birth,

but I don't think...

I didn't hear crying, you know?

And then, I guess,

to put us out of our misery, he...

k*lled Jon and left me for dead.

And the baby?

He took them.

- Twins. Raised by her captor.
- Oh...

That poor woman. How is she?

Shaken up.

Yeah. Understandable.

We all thought, after 30 years,
this UnSub would need help,

but I gotta tell you, I never
thought it'd be like this.

Now we know why he kept Susan
and Jon for almost a year.

Pregnancy was part of the plan.

Then and now.

That's why they've got two couples.

One for each son.

GREEN: Assaulting the
women isn't enough.

They need to assert their
dominance over the men, too.

It's in their DNA.

Sick as it sounds, it
tracks, right? I mean...

these UnSubs wouldn't
have had the upbringing

to have an actual relationship.

So they abduct strangers to, like,

continue the lineage of evil.

Oh, my gosh. Why are people so mean?

I know. We don't have
time to get into it.

Susan confirmed the
UnSub was always alone

and, uh, he would "visit"

every morning and every night.

So he had a predictable schedule.

Uh, he also wore dirty work boots.

He could've worked in a factory.

Logging is big in that area.

He sounds like an opportunist.

So he wouldn't go out
of his way to hunt,

but if the victims were
in his area of control

on a night he wanted to attack,

well, then, they're in trouble.

Okay, so if he lived close
to where he worked and hunted,

that's still a massive area

with multiple places to control victims.

We need to narrow this down.

Do you think Susan would
be up for a cognitive?

Uh, I mean, she's pretty
upset, but I can ask.

- Tara, you want to join?
- Yeah.

Absolutely.

DOCTOR: These daily
visits to your dad...

they're making all the difference.

You showing him old family movies?

Something like that.

Well, keep it up.

he's gonna pull through?

WARNER: Oh, come on, son,

you know better. [LAUGHS]

I'm-I'm getting to the end now, boys.

Don't say that.

It's the truth.

You don't deny it.

But before I go,

let's switch it up a bit.

Like... what?

There is something I need you to do.

Nice to meet you, Dr. Lewis.

[EXHALES] Please.

Tara's fine.

So you and Jennifer are just
gonna walk me through this?

The questions we ask are meant

to elicit specific memories.

Things that may have been buried.

Now, just a reminder that
some of our team is observing

and they will follow through
on any leads you may remember.

If they have any follow-up questions,

they will ask me through
this earpiece, okay?

I understand.

JJ: Okay.

Take a deep breath.

Try and relax.

Now...

go back to that gas station.

You and Jon were outside.

It's spring.

Was it a warm night?

No, kinda cold.

Jon filled up

and then, ten minutes later,
we were forced off the road.

We'd never seen the man before.

He-he... wasn't at the gas
station like he claimed he was.

Once you were forced off
the road, how did you react?

Were you and Jon angry?

Thought it must be some kind of mistake.

And when he got out, he...

I saw an old guy, so I thought
maybe he was just confused.

How old was he?

Probably in his 40s,

which just seemed old at the time.

The thing is, he wasn't angry.

He was weirdly calm.

But he had a crowbar,
like a silent threat.

Then, when Jon approached him,

he hit him over the head
with it and I-I... screamed.

And he threw me into his truck.

I kept yelling.

I thought Jon was dead, but...

when I got thrown inside the
room, Jon was already inside.

- [DOOR BANGS OPEN]
- No. No!

- Shut up!
- as*h*le!

[SUSAN YELLS]

No! No!

[SOBBING]

[GRUNTING]

He was bleeding so bad.

We got through that first night
without seeing that man again.

But that was the last
time he ever left us alone.

- [INTERCOM CLICKS]
- How long from the abduction site

to the secondary location?

How long was the drive?

[SIGHS]

SUSAN: 20 minutes, maybe.

I remember thinking I was
gonna die in that truck,

but then he pulled me out.

Did you scream?

He told me to shut up

or he was gonna k*ll Jon, so I...

I didn't yell again.

Not...

not outside.

Jon! Jon!

[SOBBING]

WARNER: Stay down!

[SUSAN SOBBING]

[WARNER GRUNTS]

Were you underground or in a garage?

No, it-it was like a-a room.

Just mattresses. And...

the windows were boarded up.

And there was this gross carpet...

[COUGHS]

... and-and this strange
padding on the walls.

Could she hear anything?

Was the padding like soundproofing?

SUSAN: Yeah.

But I-I could hear...

I could hear him pulling
out on the, on the gravel.

A-And...

he took our shoes.
That-That's weird, right?

He didn't want you to run away.

Yeah. That, plus the soundproofing,

makes us thinks that there was
likely someplace to run to...

like a neighbor or
back out into the road.

So... So, is this helping?

Yes.

Yeah. We're gonna add
all of your memories

to the geographic profile.

LEWIS: You've confirmed
that they have a preferred

hunting and dumping ground

and that the abduction
site is still active.

Deductive reasoning tells us

it's the same secondary site, as well.

The boarded windows and the padded room

was probably a DIY project.

We should look at abandoned structures

that he could've controlled.

Yeah. But the problem is,

that whole area's been a
ghost town since the '80s.

I mean, it used to be
a tourist destination,

like a regular Virginia's
Radiator Springs.

Now it's a just a bunch
of abandoned places.

Let's narrow the search
to a... a 20-mile radius

from the abduction site.

Narrowing.

You have that look. I can feel it.

- What look?
- That "you're thinking something

and you're not gonna say it" look.

Hey. We've got four people missing.

Okay?

It's not thought out, but if
her senses were compromised...

she said the room was
dark and soundproofed...

then maybe another sense was heightened.

Like, uh... like smell.

Yeah, well, ask her.

- [INTERCOM CLICKS]
- Hey, JJ, can you ask her

if she smelled anything?
Either in the room

or when he'd open the door?

JJ: Was there a distinctive
smell in the room?

Or even on his clothes.

He smelled like tobacco. Not...

Not from cigarettes, but like that-that

sweet, spicy scent before it's burned.

My-my grandad used to put
cherry tobacco in his pipe.

That's... that's what he smelled like.

[SNIFFS]

[SUSAN SCREAMING]

So like a-a smoke shop
or a processing plant?

Yeah.

Lot of tobacco in this county.

Mark and he wouldn't hurt me,

but I don't know you.

- That's not what this is.
- How do you know?

Think about it.

- [LIGHTER FLICKING]
- If we k*ll you,

that takes out any chance

for you to fight them.

And then Julie and I have
no kind of protection.

From what it sounds like,
she doesn't have any.

Maybe they want us to k*ll the women

to put you out of your misery.

By k*lling us?

Have you heard about surviving?

Maybe death is better

than what they're gonna put you through.

Is that a threat?

We gotta get the f*ck out of here.

This padding is the same as ours,

but hasn't been secured yet.

Let's just think about
it for a second, okay?

What do they want?

To... to play games with us

[LAUGHING]

Taking an aging,
organized, patient offender

and adding his two younger sons

can create a new psychopathology.

Some things won't change.

Like the original UnSub's nature.

He's off-grid for a reason.

Like a distrust in government.

So we won't be able find them
through traditional records.

Right. He wouldn't have risked
taking the boys to doctors

or sending them to school.

No birth records, since
they were born in captivity.

Mm. They may work as day
laborers and get paid in cash.

That would keep them out of the system.

Or if they had a family business,

they could only accept cash.

Again, untraceable.

O, ye of little faith in my powers.

There might not be employment records,

but I could find
family-owned businesses

that may or may not
have tricked Uncle Sam.

Given Susan's memory
of smelling tobacco,

I started my search in one of

Virginia's biggest cash crops.

Oh! I am learning, right now,

that there were 6,000 tobacco farms

in the great state 30 years ago.

That number has dwindled to 300.

Cross-referencing that
with abandoned structures

in a 20-mile radius.

Okay. There's a lot of those.
Hold on to the feathered hope.

Uh, here's something.

Uh, northeast of the abduction site

there is a tobacco farm.

Southwest there is an old campground

with some cabins, owned by...

the Warner family.

Wait.

Could this be our guy?

Frank Warner

worked at the tobacco factory.

He lived on the family's
property, which hasn't been

Uh, he was arrested for as*ault...

twice... in the '90s...

Yeah, he didn't serve time.

better offender after that.

He didn't risk letting
his victims survive.

He abducted and k*lled them instead.

I've got a sinking feeling

he's got a bigger body
count than we know.
