Criminal Minds

Please...

Just tell me what the doctor wants.

I'll do anything.

It's too late for that.

Aah!

Uhh!

No rush, hon. Take your time.

All right, dear.

Is the, uh, is the manager in?

I was just hoping to get a job application.

Honey, that's the third time you've been in this week.

I'm sorry, he's not hiring.

Uh, try down at the Nugget. I think they're looking for someone.

They're not.

Ooh! Sorry.

Excuse me.

What are you gonna do?

Times are tough for everyone.

Tell me about it.

I'm barely getting one booking a month.

Well, if Frida doesn't show up soon,

Ed can fire her and hire the kid.

There you go.

Thanks, dear.

If you want to lift someone's wallet, don't kiss the dog.

What?

Don't let him see your face.

You almost had it, then you looked him in the eye

and lost your nerve.

What do you know about it?

What you tried, a keystone cop would have spotted.

Cigarette?

You know my name.

What's yours?

Finn.

When's the last time you've slept

without keeping one eye open, Finn?

What's it matter to you?

It doesn't, really.

I've seen you milling around. Maybe I could help.

Look, man, I don't care what you pay.

I don't sleep with dudes.

Believe me, if I were gonna pay for that,

I wouldn't pick you.

So, um,

why do you want to help me?

You remind me of someone.

Ah, gotcha. I remind you of you when you were young

and just starting out or some crap like that, right?

Word of advice, Finn.

If someone offers to help you...

Don't step on him before you know the terms.

Have a nice life.

Hey, Marvin!

You, um...

You want your lighter back?

Hey! Hey, there's something over here.

Oh, my God.

The bodies of two unidentified women

were found in the desert

just outside of the good doctor's hometown, Las Vegas.

They were stripped of their I.D.

One looks like she was killed yesterday,

the other a couple of weeks ago.

According to the M.E. report,

both women were in their 30s, and--

is this cause of death right?

Yes, and I have confirmed it.

Both women drowned.

How far is the nearest body of water?

The Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, like 60 miles.

So we're looking at a disposal site.

Were they sexually assaulted?

No, but they did both suffer blunt force trauma

and severe antemortem abrasions to the wrists and ankles.

That means they were most likely held somewhere before they were killed.

Or maybe they were bound so they could be tortured

With water. Rossi: She's right.

We can't rule out waterboarding

or being held underwater in a pool or a bathtub,

it's possible this unsub's a sadist.

The woman killed yesterday was wearing a uniform.

She could have been a waitress or a maid.

There are 93 hotels in Las Vegas,

260 motels and inns,

1,510 bars, and 2,996 restaurants.

Not to mention nearby Summerlin, which is growing in popularity.

Well, local P.D. has ruled out the major establishments.

They're combing through the smaller ones now

to see if they can find a match.

The other Jane Doe was pretty decomposed.

Clothing looks ordinary.

Is that a fanny pack she's wearing?

Yes, and it was empty.

It means she was probably a tourist, though.

Last year Las Vegas documented 39,727,022 visitors.

No other place has better surveillance software.

Garcia, contact Vegas P.D. and ask them to start going through

hotel and casino surveillance video from 3 weeks ago,

and tell them we'll be there in 4 hours. Let's go.

Yes, sir.

No! Get away from me.

Help!

Sir, please!

Can you hear me, anybody?!

Somebody help me!

Please! Help! Aah!

Reid: "The secret of my influence

has always been that it remained secret."

Salvador Dali.

Hi, mom, it's me again.

I'm on a plane to Las Vegas,

and I can't wait to see you.

You know, I've been thinking,

it's been a really long time

since I've had chicken fried lobster,

so I was hoping maybe when the case is done,

we can go to Binion's.

Um, I have to go. Call me back.

Bye. Love you.

The two women were brunettes in their 30s.

The unsub has a type.

If that's the case, were they targeted,

or were they victims of opportunity?

There's something strange about the disposal site.

It would seem like he took the bodies into the desert

to hide them, but he chose a spot

next to an old construction site that's for sale.

He had to imagine that someone would show up eventually.

So was he hiding the bodies or displaying them?

It could be both.

He might be hiding them from law enforcement

but displaying them to another group.

Hello, American heroes. I just got an I.D.

on the most recently deceased victim,

Frida Bancroft, 34. She was working as a waitress

at Della Rose's grill downtown.

Manager said she'd been there for two months,

and I just sent you a picture.

Did she exhibit unusual behavior recently,

or was she involved with anyone suspicious?

Well, the manager said he took a chance

by hiring her because she's a former drug addict

with a spotty work history,

and when she didn't show up to work for the last 3 days,

he figured she had started using again.

But we know she didn't, because the M.E. report

says the tox screen was negative.

JJ, you and Reid go to the disposal site.

Dave and Morgan, go to the diner

and find out what you can about the waitress,

and Blake and I will go to the Vegas P.D.

I can't believe she's dead.

I was joking earlier that Ed I should just fire her.

Oh, I feel awful.

Don't. You didn't mean anything by it.

Were there any recent changes in Frida's life?

No. Other than signing a new apartment lease a week ago.

She'd been saving up all the money she made here

for the last couple of months to pay for the security deposit.

It takes a lot of discipline to do that so quickly.

What about friends and family?

Was she in a relationship?

She never talked about her past or her personal life.

It's almost like she wanted the slate clean.

Ok, thanks.

Thank you.

Frida seemed determined

to start a new life for herself,

and we know she wasn't using.

She had to be hiding

or running away from something.

I agree.

Maybe she owed her dealer money

and was pulled back into the drug world.

The owners don't like it,

but there's not much they can do about it.

Bored teenagers party and drink here.

Vagrants come out to collect empty beer bottles and cans.

So this location actually gets a lot of visitors.

More than you'd expect in the middle of the desert.

It's probably because this is here.

People like to have a landmark to go to.

Where exactly were the bodies found?

The waitress was about 5 yards from the main sign.

The tourist was 200 yards that way.

This isn't completely dry.

There are drops of paint on the ground.

This was done recently.

Whoever it was must have seen the body.

It'd be hard to miss here.

It was probably some kid too scared to report it.

2/10 could be a tagger name or a gang sign.

Does it look familiar to you?

No.

2 out of 10.

It's possible the unsub wrote this.

There were two victims here.

Which means there could be 8 more.
