Uh, heads up, this is a rough one.
Last night, morning show host Maria Blake
was brutally stabbed to death in her house in Boerum Hills.
Her wife Olivia was also attacked,
but she survived.
She's in critical condition at Hope General.
Olivia's ten-year-old daughter called 911.
- Was she there during the attack?
- Uh, yeah, she was hiding in a closet.
- Yeah, NYPD thinks the MO of the attacker
matches two others across town.
They are asking for our help
in a potential serial killer case.
- What do we know about the earlier murders?
- First victim was 38-year-old
real estate broker Chetna Burman.
Killed at her brownstone on West 73rd Street
sometime around 2:00 a.m. on March 20th.
Two weeks later, bank president Jamie Merritt,
42, was found dead with similar wounds
at her place on West 87th.
- Those are Upper West Side addresses.
So the Blakes in Brooklyn would be a departure.
- Yes, but the other case markers all line up.
- Like townhouses broken into late at night,
powerful women in their 30s and 40s
being attacked with a knife, so.

- This is a nice house.
The family doesn't have a security system?
- House has one, but it doesn't look
like they had it set up yet.
Neighbors said they just moved in,
had workers in and out.

Back door was unlocked when we arrived.
- Got markings around the keyhole.
Looks like the guy must have picked the lock.

Now, Brooke, honey, I, um--
I need you to tell them what you told me
about the guy that you saw, kay?

like the man who worked on our house.
He had the same kind of boots on.
- I think she said that, uh, the guy was arguing
with her stepmother, Maria.

- He was tall.

SSA Deon Marshall
from the Behavioral Analysis unit.
I've been assigned to your serial killer case.

a profiler on this case.
ADIC Hawkins is an old friend. He asked me to advise.
I'm sure you have a handle on it.
Just here if you need an extra set of eyes.
- Okay. Welcome aboard.
Okay, listen up, everyone.
This is Deon Marshall with BAU,
he will be assisting us in this case.
- Great. So, uh, the killer
did not leave and forensics on the scene,
but we just got the ME's report.
The knife wounds found on Maria's body
are similar to those found on Merritt and Burman,
so it seems like we are looking for the same killer.
- Have you been able to identify
any connection between the victims?
- We're still digging into their backgrounds,
but so far, no. No clear nexus.
- Hey, I just talked to Scola.
ERT thinks Maria's wedding ring was stolen.
There are lacerations on her finger
like it was forcibly removed,
and they can't find it in the house.
- Did any of the other victims have jewelry taken?
- Yeah, uh, Burman wore a diabetes bracelet
that NYPD never recovered.
No, there's nothing about missing jewelry
in Merritt's file, though.
- It's not unusual for serial killers
to take jewelry as trophies.
- Yeah, Kelly, you want to make sure ERT is doing
a full inventory at Merritt's? - Got it.
- Listen, did we ever alibi out the ex-husband?
- Uh, yeah. He was in Philly overnight
on a job interview. - And we confirmed it?
- A theater there confirmed he had an interview
to be their technical director,
and I talked to the host at the Airbnb he stayed at.
She said Owen checked in yesterday,
left early this morning.
- Not to mention that he is a far cry
from the daughter's description.
Okay, speaking of which, we get an ID
on that construction worker?
- Yes, got a list from the Blakes' contractor.
Showed the photos to Brooke and she ID'd
a man named Jeremiah Carver.
- All right, eyes up.

Carpenter, 32 years old, lives in Queens.
- All right. Let's bring him in.
Have Tiffany and Scola get over there.
- Look, I don't want to overstep here,

She's a surgeon at Presbyterian.
Single, no kids, lives alone.
Her boss called NYPD to do a wellness check

Has anyone recovered that? - No, not yet.

- I'm not sure. Looks like glass.
I'll get ERT to send it to the lab,
see if they can ID it.
- Well, a security camera caught the killer
breaking into the victim's house,
but he managed to avoid the street cams in the area,
so that means he did his homework.
He scoped the area out.
So we're checking for video earlier in the day,
earlier in the week... - Well, what about the victim?
Anything that connects Zoffer to the others?
- I mean, there's-- there's some overlap
with Merritt and Burman,
but most of that can be chalked up
to living in the same neighborhood.
- The nexus may be the women's success.
Killer's resentful, attacks powerful women
as a way of regaining power.
- Right, all right, so let's chase that.
That would mean the killer is
underemployed or unemployed, someone on the fringe.
- Yeah, sounds right.
Someone bitter, disenfranchised.
Statistically, it's probably a blue-collar worker.
- Right, well, that-- that tracks
with the print we found at the scene,
size 11 Starks-- common work boot.
- Jubal. - Yeah?
- We got something. - Lab ID'd the fragments
in the boot-- it's stained glass.
- Any stained glass found at Zoffer's house?
- No, we think that the killer must have tracked it in.
- Probably from a church. - Right, good.
So let's get boots on the ground.
I want agents canvassing any and all churches
on the Upper West Side.
And schedule a press conference.
I want to get this guy's face out there.
Somebody knows who he is
or has seen him loiter in the neighborhood.

- Isobel, wait.
I don't think this is a good idea.
- Excuse me? - Holding a press conference,
blasting his face out to the community--
I'm not sure the person we see on camera
is the killer. Something isn't adding up.
- We have video of him breaking in.
- I know, I saw it.
But from a statistical standpoint,
there are very few Black serial killers,
and the ones we do know about typically target
disenfranchised, low-income victims.
- We have video of him at various crime scenes.
We can see his face.
He's Black. - I know.
Doesn't make sense to me either.
But I think it's prudent to hold off
on releasing a photo.
This guy kills in order to feel powerful.
You give him more media attention,
you're giving him more power.
You could trigger him to strike again.
- He has killed two nights in a row.
He's gonna strike again regardless.
We have to find him before that happens.
- I agree, but the ADIC sent me
to offer my expertise, and I'm telling you,
making a public announcement based on shaky evidence--
- We have a photo.
How in God's name is that shaky?
- Okay, wrong adjective.
It's...incongruous.
- Okay. What is the alternative then?
We wait for him to kill another woman,
hope he makes a mistake that we can capitalize on?
If there is any chance someone can identify
the man in this photo before he strikes again,
I am taking it.
We have recently obtained a photograph of the suspect.
If anyone has seen this man or has any information
as to his whereabouts,
please contact the FBI immediately.
In the meantime, there are ways you can protect yourselves.
He is not a particularly sophisticated
or adept criminal.
He is a coward who is overpowering women
by ambushing them when their guards are down.
Stay alert, stay diligent,
and I promise you, we will find him.

a Black mask might give us some insight to who he is.

- Unlikely. He seems to be choosing targets
based on gender and career.
- Or maybe the mask is just meant to be
a good disguise.
Gets caught on camera, hard to identify the suspect.

the old "the Black guy did it" to get away with murder.

victims' schedules.

That's restaurant code for VIP.
PX means important, PPX means very important.
Dated a waitress in college.

We already called. They started her

"I'm sorry you feel that way,"
and hung up. I thought he'd accepted it.
W--what is it?
- Your E-ZPass just went through a toll
near Bear Mountain Bridge.
Does that mean anything to you?

Just stay back.

We can talk about this. - No!
No, no, no, no. You don't come any closer

I swear to God I'll shoot.
Don't come any closer!
Just get back!

- All right. JOC confirmed with Olivia,
there's a working landline in the kitchen
we can use for contact. - Okay, how are we looking?
- We don't have eyes inside.
He's got all the windows covered.
- What are our options?
- Looks like the siding on the house is vinyl.
We could possibly drill in and get a pinhole camera
on the inside.
- Okay, but wouldn't he hear that?
- Not if we can cover it.
We'd need some sort of distraction.
- So what, flash bangs?
- Might not want to risk startling him like that.
- That's too short anyway.
We need something we can sustain
for at least ten seconds.

What do you want?
- David Owen, this is Special Agent Zidan.
We met the other day. I'm here to help you.
- [laughs] Oh, come on.
How are you gonna help me?
- I would like to start by getting you
and your daughter out of that house safely,
and you can help me with that.
- Okay.
- I need you to come outside, unarmed,
with your hands up high,
and we'll take it from there, okay?
- Come on, how-- how do I know
that you're not gonna shoot me
or you're not gonna shoot me and my daughter?
- You have my word, David.
If you come out with your hands up,
I promise you that-- - No, no, no.
No, 'cause I know you're lying. You're lying to me right now.
I know it. I know that you are.
You're lying to me right now. Okay.
- David, no. Listen to me.
- Oh, come on, how are you gonna let me
walk out of here with everything
that I've done, huh?
Yeah, everything I've done, you're gonna let me just go--
No. - David, that is
the last thing that any of us want to do to--
- Come here. Come with me, okay?
- What's he doing?
- He's taking her to another room.
- Isobel, what's our move?
- He knows it's over. He's spiraling.
I think we need to hit that house
and get Brooke out of there.
- But we were making progress.
Might be worth another try. Let him cool off.
- He has that little girl barricaded in a house.
- If he wanted to kill her, he would have done it
the night that he attacked her mother.
Based on the profile--
- We cannot base every damn decision we make
on his profile.
- What else do you want to base it on?
A hunch?
This is exactly what the ADIC is concerned about.
You're being reactive. Data doesn't lie.
It's the best indication of future actions.
- My hunches are based on years of experience,
not algorithms or statistics.
- Isobel...
- Owen just used Brooke as a human shield.
That tells me when push comes to shove,
he doesn't give a damn about his daughter.
This is about the way he sees himself,
his own narcissistic fantasy.
And right now, that fantasy is falling apart.
He will kill his daughter and then kill himself
before he faces reality.
- If you're wrong about that... - Then I will take the heat.
But I'm not gonna let a little girl die
because I played it safe.
OA, we are going in now.
- Copy that.

Owen actually harming his daughter was remote.
Statistical anomaly.

Well, I have been getting lucky for 20 years.
Led me to being one of only ten female SACs
in the FBI.
I'm sure you can find
the statistical anomaly in that.
