REPORTER: Carroll was convicted in 2004 for the murders of 14 young women.
PARKER: The warden granted Joe Carroll's request for a transfer. He's leaving.
Joe's not in the transport vehicle. Where the hell is he?
- Joe's free, now I get locked up. - Protective custody. Better if I don't know.
RYAN: Quantico sent in a new guy. - Nick Donovan, top of the food chain.
This investigation starts at my desk now.
Joe Carroll. How the hell are you, heh?
- I'm Roderick. - Ugh.
Emma, why did you leave us? Emma!
- Any word from Jacob and Paul? - They haven't called.
Hang on. I'm gonna get us some help.
Thank you.
- I love my wife. - She's not here.
Losing Claire must sting, but I have an idea where we can find her.
- Agent Weston, tell us where Claire is. - Ah, I don't know anything.
Claire's location. He's the only one who knows where Claire is.
- Everyone's waiting. - What for?
EMMA: For you.
Good morning, everybody.
FBI AGENT: How did Joe Carroll escape in a helicopter in broad daylight?
Carroll's people infiltrated the prison. Warden was compromised.
BAU AGENT [ON-SCREEN]: How many people are part of Carroll's cult?
Early evidence suggested somewhere under 12...
...but, uh, in light of Carroll's recent escape, tactical resources, manpower...
...could be upwards of 100. - How did you arrive at that?
Carroll's visitors log in prison contained 47 false identities.
And his Internet usage, although heavily encrypted, suggested twice that many.
That's a guess at best, agent.
ATF AGENT: We looking for a cult compound like Waco or Jonestown?
Yes, we believe there to be some sort of safe haven.
But you don't know where that is.
No, we don't.
Our working theory is that it's within a three-state radius of Virginia.
NSA OFFICIAL: Let me get this straight.
There's an organized gathering of dozens of killers.
And you have no idea where they are?
Can I just remind everyone that this is a briefing and not an inquisition?
Who are the people he recruits? Can't all be serial killers.
He recruits from all walks of life.
Housewives, teachers, accountants, military, law enforcement.
PARKER: All of whom fit the personality types associated with cult susceptibility.
- Empty, lost, maladjusted... RYAN: To full-blown psychopaths.
The acolytes we've encountered have run the gamut...
...from visionary to hedonistic one-time killers...
...mission-oriented killers, fans of killers.
BAU AGENT: Mr. Hardy, an agent was captured and assaulted by cult members.
- Was he able to identify his captors? RYAN: That agent, Mike Weston?
We have a sketch artist standing by for the moment he's conscious.
And his cult? Have you identified their religion or manifesto?
PARKER: Both a novelist and a professor...
...Carroll's using literary themes found in the works of gothic romanticism.
CARROLL: All that we see or seem...
...is but a dream within a dream.
And that is what this moment is for me.
He's speaking to his subjects with the promise of elevating their lives.
Through death, one experiences life.
CARROLL: I will never forget...
...what you have all done for me.
The sacrifices you have made.
But now the time has come for you.
By his own admission Carroll has engaged his followers to write their own chapters.
To become part of this novel that he's writing.
I want to hear from each and every one of you.
Tell me what inspires you.
I need your help...
...to finish our story.
He's united with his people. He will do something to ignite them to action.
I see it in your eyes. I know you are ready.
It's time for him to tell the next part of his story.
And so we begin.
That didn't go well.
Uh, too many people have died.
It's a PR nightmare.
- Gotta blame someone. - Agent Parker.
I just heard from Franklin.
Will you excuse us?
I'll wait in the car.
Am I out? I know they're discussing it. Just tell me.
No, but they are taking the operation and control to D.C.
Where does that leave me?
[SIGHS]
Everyone recognizes that Ryan Hardy is integral to all of this.
But he's a wild card.
We want you to stay on, hold his hand.
You'll keep your task force here and continue to report to me.
Understood.
[GASPS]
Jacob.
Mom.
For my chapter, I thought l...
Uh, I'm sorry, heh. I've been working on this forever, heh.
I'm just so nervous with you here, heh.
Um, where was I?
Uh, yes, my chapter.
It's okay. Hey, relax.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Come on, shake it out. Shake it out. - Ah, okay, heh.
Thank you for seeing me.
I've been wanting to visit for so long now.
- I must seem like some groupie to you... - No. No, Amanda, no.
I found your letters really quite moving.
I'm glad to finally meet you.
And you wrote in your last one...
...that something had happened? What?
[WHISPERING] Yes, but I couldn't write it in a letter.
Let me guess, your husband.
You know he was cheating on me.
That bony-ass thing he works with. Lindsay.
The one with the huge fake things. Right under my nose, in my bed.
I could smell it on my sheets.
I knew you had your suspicions.
You wrote in a letter:
"Insist on happiness."
[CHUCKLES]
So I took a shotgun to both of them.
My daddy was big on gaming. He could hunt anything.
I know my way around animals.
So I went to a hardware store and bought a hatchet...
...electric hacksaw, some ammonia, and a bucket.
It took a few days to bag them up.
Then I drove to Florida and dumped them in a swamp and drove here.
They're gonna find some pieces.
They can DNA and CSI that stuff. They'll come for me.
Do you have to go back to Oklahoma?
I don't have anywhere to go, Joe.
I have a friend.
His name is Roderick, heh.
He's been known to help other friends of mine.
I'm sure he'd be able to give you a place to stay.
[CHUCKLES]
You love your wife.
I know you want her back.
And I want that for you, Joe.
I want my chapter to have a happy ending.
Go on.
- Jacob. - What?
He's my friend, Mom, and he's hurt.
I recognize him.
Your faces are plastered all over the news.
You're a wanted fugitive.
- Kidnapping, murder? - I never killed anybody, Mom.
- The FBI said you did. - I haven't.
They say you're involved with that serial killer. Part of a cult?
I didn't say that I was innocent.
- Why are you here? - Because it's impossible at home.
There are federal agents patrolling our house.
Reporters are following your father to work.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, well, that's a bummer.
Poor guy.
[WHIMPERING]
Help me understand this, Jacob.
I'm your mother and I love you, but I don't understand this.
I don't think that I can explain.
[BOTH CRYING]
No, detective, I'm staring at it right now.
That's not Paul Torres, that's not Jacob Wells.
No, absolutely sure.
Neither man.
No, not a waste of my time. Thanks.
Complete waste of my time. This is the chief homicide detective in Dallas.
I'm sorry, I let it through.
He was convinced.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Ryan Hardy. CARROLL [OVER PHONE]: Hello, Ryan.
- What can I do for you, Joe? CARROLL: I just wanted to see...
...how your friend, Weston, was doing, eh.
I heard that he took quite a beating.
- He's expected to make a full recovery. - Oh.
No, that's good to hear.
Sorry about your friends, though.
They're kind of dead.
That's okay. I have more, heh.
So, what do you want, Joe?
You know, just to chat. I'm feeling a little bit down.
Tell me...
...do you miss Claire, Ryan?
I know I do.
Ironically, you're the only person who really understands how I feel at the moment.
Being that we both love the same woman.
Why is love so punishing, Ryan?
- Get something. - He's on a satellite phone.
- Sends me to Singapore. - Homeland can intercept.
CARROLL [OVER PHONE]: Love's elation always seems to turn to pain.
How true the adage "love hurts," huh?
Tell me, how much hurt can one man endure, Ryan?
Uh, at what point does he break?
You must let me know.
I can't remember, what is good here? Did I get the hamburger steak last time?
You liked it, didn't love it.
Heh, it's fine. Will you order?
Uh, no onions, gravy on the fries. I'm gonna wash my hands.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I'm sorry, can I help you, heh?
Yes, you can. I need you to give someone a message.
I'm sorry, do I know you?
What are you doing? What's in your hands?
Oh, it's nothing really. I need you to do something for me.
It's like a favor. There's this man named Ryan Hardy.
I think you have the wrong table.
This is important.
You need to tell Ryan Hardy that sometimes...
...love hurts. Can you remember that?
- Heh, hey. - Hi.
- Who is this? - I don't know.
- She has something in her hands. - What do you have there?
Customized 24-inch pressurized spear gun.
Mainly used for deep-sea fishing.
Heh, what are you gonna do with that?
[ALL CHUCKLE]
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh.
I'm gonna try it out.
WOMAN: Unh! - Oh, my God! Oh, my God, help!
- She's bleeding! - Don't forget what I told you.
- Oh, my God, help me! Somebody help me! - Thank you.
WOMAN: Oh, my God, she's bleeding. DEEDEE: Oh, God, help me!
She's bleeding.
Help me! Somebody help!
DEEDEE [WHIMPERING]: And then she just walked right out the door.
She said, "Tell Ryan Hardy that love hurts."
I don't understand, why would she kill Claire?
Excuse me, ma'am, hi. Uh, your friend...
...Claire Dobkins, was she married?
She was separated. Why?
What was her maiden name?
It was Matthews.
Hey.
- Make sure Claire is safe. - She is.
We moved her location after Weston's attack.
- Check again, confirm it. - She's safe.
- She can't turn on the TV. This'll kill her. - You're over-reacting.
- Take away all media access. Just do it. - Let them do their job.
Hey. Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm good, I'm good, it's just...
Joe said, "How much hurt can one man endure?"
He's trying to break you.
By targeting women with his wife's name.
I mean, how many Claire Matthews are out there?
[PAUL GROANING]
- Your wound is infected. - Can you help me?
You're a nurse, right?
- Jacob said you were a nurse. - I was.
I'm not anymore.
PAUL: Who are you calling?
- Who are you calling? - I'm leaving another message for Emma.
She's not gonna call you back.
Don't you get it? She left us.
She left us to die.
At the farmhouse?
I never trusted her.
She never trusted me either. Heh.
EMMA: Her name is Robyn Stewart. Works at the Moser plant near the boat yard.
I've been watching her for a few months now.
I think she's perfect for you.
- You want me to do this by myself? - Yeah, why not?
- You don't trust me. - It's not that.
- Emma, I've killed before. - But not with us.
Look, if it'll make you feel better, Jacob will go with you.
Look, I wanna be here. All right, I moved here, didn't I?
I gave up everything in El Paso just to be near Joe.
Look, you can trust me, I promise.
And you can trust us.
PAUL: I can't trust you.
I can't trust you. I can't trust you.
- Hey, hey! - Hey, hey, easy, easy.
[PAUL GROANING]
I'm sorry.
Reporting live from a diner in the Union Hill district...
...where earlier today, a woman was brutally murdered.
This is another in a series of slayings attributed to serial killer Joe Carroll...
...and his cult of killers. - Is everything okay?
Hmm, very much so.
I was quite worried about our nervous little Amanda...
...but she appears to be rather proficient with her weapons.
REPORTER: Sources tell us that Ms. Matthews was placed in protective custody...
Are we okay?
I'm not sure we should advertise our indiscretion.
Is it really so bad?
I thought it was worth it, personally.
Roderick, um, is there any news on Jacob or Paul?
No, no, not yet.
- I'll keep looking. - Yes, yes, thank you. Um...
I'm sure Emma would be most grateful.
I'm sorry about that, Mom.
He's got sepsis. You realize that?
[SIGHS]
If you don't get him to a hospital immediately, he's going to die.
[SIGHS]
Can you help him?
He needs a blood transfusion. Antibiotics.
Surgery when he's stable.
You need to get him to a hospital.
You should go now.
Before your father gets here.
He's on his way.
Louise Sinclair, we know. Amanda Porter is wanted for murder in Oklahoma.
Killed her husband and the woman he slept with.
Their remains were discovered in a Florida swamp in '07.
So we got 87 Claire Matthews in the U.S., 14 in the state.
Five, including Joe Carroll's ex, reside in the Richmond area.
We're locating them now.
Claire Matthews on Monroe is safe. Local P.D. Have her.
Good, that's one. Three more to find. Come on, let's go, let's go.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
What?
Hmm.
Authorities are asking anyone named Claire Matthews...
...to please contact their local law enforcement.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
REPORTER: Joe Carroll is a wanted fugitive... - Someone's at the door.
...who is considered extremely dangerous. Anyone...
WOMAN: Who is it? AMANDA: We're looking for Claire Matthews.
WOMAN: Hang on, it's the police.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[BOTH SCREAMING]
Help me!
[GASPS]
Carroll is targeting women with the same name as his wife.
Law enforcement across the country are responding to the threat.
We need your help to get word out, be on alert.
This is our suspect, Amanda Porter, 35 years of age.
Wanted on suspicion of at least two murders.
If anyone sees her, do not engage.
Contact your local authorities or the FBI immediately.
Okay.
Hey, we found another Claire.
She's in protection. That means just one still out there.
There's something too pedestrian about this.
Why would Joe call me up...
...to foreshadow what he was up to? - He can't have Claire.
- He wants to punish you for it. - This isn't about me at all.
Maybe he's trying to lure her out.
I'm telling you, if she knows this is happening, she will offer herself up.
But she doesn't. She's not seeing it. I believe Nick. She has no media access.
I hope you're right.
NICK: Amanda Porter kills her husband and his mistress in a single act of rage.
How does she escalate to mission killer on a spree?
Gotta add the cult component. This is her chapter of Joe's playbook.
I mean, look at these murders. They're public statements.
This guy is big on theatrics.
Look at the weapons, they're like props.
Spear gun, garrote. Even he uses an ice pick.
This is a cult member who's using her leader's playbook...
...complete with romantic underpinnings.
Love hurts.
Drink some water.
Got to get him to a hospital, Jacob.
You're just worried Dad will see me.
He's going to call the police. Do you want that? You're a murderer.
Stop saying that, Mom! I never killed anyone!
Tell her.
Come on, tell her the truth.
PAUL: A friend of Dad's. Back in El Paso.
Bad ass ex-Marine. Used to make fun of me all the time.
Really lay into me. Rough me up.
One night I just had enough.
I cracked his head and I pushed him down the stairs, heh.
[CHUCKLES]
I was 12.
[ROBYN WHIMPERING]
- So is this an audition? - Yeah.
- I mean, I gotta be careful. - So do I. You stab her first.
JACOB: No, this is all you. That was the deal.
How do I know I can trust the two of you? How do I know you're not setting me up?
- Why would we do that? - I don't know.
I'll finish her off, you have to take the first stab.
That way I know we can trust each other.
All right?
[ROBYN WHIMPERING]
[CHUCKLES]
You've never killed anyone, heh.
- Yes, I have. - Then do it.
[PAUL LAUGHING]
Does your little girlfriend know?
Honesty and trust is the foundation of all relationships.
Screw you, man.
Heh, take it easy. All right? Relax.
Don't hyperventilate. Take a breath.
[LAUGHING]
[STABBING]
Jacob's telling the truth.
He's never killed anyone.
[MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Are you bumming? You look like you're bumming.
I'm not.
Wanna get drunk?
How are you the sheriff of a town?
Heh, well...
...first you go to the police academy, get your diploma.
They give you a gun, get a badge, walk patrol...
My family is big on public service.
I mean, they practically preached it.
Dad was military.
Mom loves her politics, blah, blah.
But you found Joe?
Yeah.
Joe, uh, speaks to my contradictions, heh.
We all have our gray areas, Emma.
For instance, Joe loves his wife, and I mean, he loves his wife.
And yet he slept with you.
You need to mind your own business.
And you have a boyfriend somewhere.
And your boyfriend's got a boyfriend.
[CHUCKLES]
I'd call that a gray area. Wouldn't you?
- You don't know anything about it. - Are you even worried about them?
- Do you even care if I find Jacob? - Yes, I care.
I love Jacob.
- I want him here with me. - Really?
I checked your satellite phone.
It's just full of messages from your little lost boyfriend.
"Emma.
Why'd you leave, huh?
Why'd you leave us? I love you, Emma.
Please, call me."
So Carroll made two attempts to get his wife.
Both failed, so now he's making public statements?
Why? To get at you?
That's what he wants me to think. I think he's speaking directly to Claire.
I think he's trying to reach her to lure her out of custody.
That hasn't happened.
I have confirmation that she is not aware of this.
[DOOR OPENS]
Spoke with a roommate of our missing Claire Matthews.
She's a student at Thurman Community. Says she's at a school festival off campus.
- Left her cell phone. They can't reach her. - Let's go.
Call ahead and notify local police. Get every available agent there now.
[CHUCKLES]
The e-mail worked.
Roderick sent us an address. They're gonna meet us and take us to the others, heh.
Your father's gonna be here in five minutes. You have to leave now.
I need to get you out of here.
[GROANING]
- No. No. - Come on, we have to go.
- Okay. - No, no, no.
Come on, Dad's gonna call the police. We need to go.
- You owe me. - What?
- I'm not just gonna leave you here. PAUL: Just go.
- I wouldn't do that to you. Come on. - You owe me.
What?
[WHIMPERING]
You owe me.
- What the hell's wrong with you? - I can't believe that happened.
I mean, the way you just...
Did you see her eyes? Did you see her eyes?
Hey, hey, take it easy.
Come here. It's okay, it's okay. It's okay.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[COUGHING]
It's okay.
[CHUCKLING]
All right?
Emma's... Emma's gonna hate me. She doesn't know about this.
- She'll hate me. - We're not gonna tell her.
Why would you do that for me?
[STAMMERS]
Because I like you.
You're a good guy.
Besides, now you owe me.
[SNIFFS]
- All right? - Okay.
Please, I want my life to mean something.
That's really all I've ever wanted.
[WHIMPERING]
It's perfect.
You can do this.
You can do it.
[SIGHS]
Jacob.
Thank you.
I love you.
[SOBBING]
[PAUL GROANING]
I'm sorry.
[GRUNTING]
[JACOB CRYING]
[MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]
We're looking for Claire Matthews, 22, dark brown hair, 5'8".
Last seen wearing a blue jacket and jeans.
Canvass the entire block.
Everyone stay in constant radio contact. Let's move.
STEVE: Hey, I'm Steve. What's your name?
- Heh, Claire. STEVE: Let's see your face.
Come on.
Hey. I spotted Louise...
...just south of the dance floor. I'm in pursuit.
STEVE: Wait. Don't I know you? - Uh, I don't think so.
Is your last name Matthews?
Heh, how did you know that?
The police are looking for you.
Hang on, let me pull it up.
They say she's killing people named Claire Matthews.
You should find a cop or something.
- That's her. STEVE: Get out of here.
Leave her alone.
Aw, what do we have here? Mr. Helper?
[STEVE GROANS]
- Ryan, do you still have Louise? RYAN: I lost her.
Hey, I got somebody hurt here by the Ferris wheel.
I need some backup now.
Help me. There's a woman who wants to kill me.
WOMAN: What?
CLAIRE: Help me!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Ms. Matthews? - Yeah.
[CLAIRE PANTING]
It's okay. You're gonna be fine. Just stay here.
All available units, I have Claire Matthews. I have Claire Matthews at the festival exit.
[CLAIRE SCREAMS]
[CLAIRE SOBBING]
[CLAIRE PANTING]
CLAIRE: Help me.
Stop right there. Hands in the air.
Drop the weapon.
And if I refuse?
I will shoot you dead.
I don't think you have the...
[GUNSHOT]
[GROANS]
[GROANING]
CLAIRE: She's after me!
Help me, please!
[CLAIRE CRYING]
Claire. Claire.
AMANDA: She's right here.
[CLAIRE SOBBING]
AMANDA: Drop the gun, Ryan.
Do it!
- Don't hurt her. - Kick it away. Now!
- Let her go. - No, Ryan. It doesn't work that way.
- Please. - She has to die.
Because you have to be punished.
You slept with Joe's wife.
And between you and me, I don't take that lightly.
- Get off me. - Let her go. That's not Joe's wife.
It's a freaking metaphor, Ryan.
[GUNS COCKING]
- Tell them to stay back. - Back, back. Stay back. Stay back.
Okay.
Now you gotta let her go. Hey, kill me.
No, I have to kill her.
Love hurts, Ryan. That's the theme here.
Joe Carroll gets a happy ending. You don't get one.
Cheaters don't get happy endings. My husband didn't get one.
You're right.
It was a mistake.
I shouldn't have done it.
- Then why did you? - Please, please, just let her go.
Why? Why did you do it?
Because I love her.
Thank you.
That was very honest.
RYAN: And now...
...you gotta do something for me.
Because you're right.
I do. I need to be punished.
[WHIMPERING]
Come on, just kill me.
- Stay back. RYAN: Because I still love her.
And I can't un-love her.
And the only way that you and Joe are gonna get a happy ending is if you kill me.
So come on, just do it.
Just...
...take that nail gun...
...shoot me right in the head. You can do it.
Come on. I know you can.
Do it now.
Now. Now!
[AMANDA SCREAMING]
AMANDA: No, no!
[AMANDA CRYING]
Ryan Hardy is proving to be more of a challenge than I thought.
Yeah, I wouldn't underestimate that man. I made that mistake once.
[CHUCKLES]
What happened?
- Louise is dead. - Oh.
Amanda is in federal custody.
CARROLL: That is unfortunate.
I'm sorry about Louise.
I know she was important to you.
Not really.
Maybe, heh, I don't know, heh.
There is good news.
At noon today FBI Agent Nick Donovan made an encrypted cell phone call...
...to Quantico, Virginia checking the status of Claire Matthews.
We deciphered that encryption.
And what did you find?
Uh, call was transferred to several Bureau offices...
...before it was finally transferred to U.S. Marshall Scott Turner.
Currently in charge of personal security for Claire.
We were able to narrow her location to the nearest cell phone tower.
Your wife is in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.
Oh, that is excellent work, my friend.
[LOCK BUZZES]
I wanna interview Amanda first thing in the morning.
- Donovan said that wouldn't happen. - We can break her.
The thing about Joe's cult members is they don't come to this party sane.
- You just gotta speak their language. - Look, I agree with you.
But Director Franklin ordered that she be transferred to D.C.
- They're questioning her at headquarters. - Ah. You're kidding me.
They're moving the investigation there. They're taking the lead.
How do you feel about that?
Like a failure.
Hey, you're not.
[SIGHS]
So all that stuff Ryan was saying tonight about Claire Matthews.
He's still hung up on her.
He loves her.
That's just twisted.
Were you expecting someone else?
- Joe, maybe? - What is it?
Well, Joe's a little busy right now, but, uh, I've been looking for you.
And you found me. What is it I can do for you?
Earlier I received a very exciting e-mail.
I wanted to tell you about it, but I thought I'd surprise you.
So follow me.
Hello, Emma.
[English - US - SDH]
