Criminal Minds

Rinse your belly button 3 to 4 times a day

with sea salt and warm water.

And if the Barb is visible through the skin--

Meg? Are you ok?

Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't let me get it pierced,

so I did it myself.

Well, that was really dangerous.

You could have hurt yourself.

Yeah, I guess.

But I watched a bunch of videos online.

It looked easy.

I owe you and Derek a steak dinner.

It's no problem.

Derek gave me the heads up

and I was standing by.

All right, let's get you home.

I know that look.

New case?

Yeah. Um, Chris is just a minute away.

Can she just wait in here? Sure.

Phone, please.

How long?

I'm not sure yet.

Thank you.

No problem.

Putting me on tech timeout?

The dictators are so unreasonable.

So, why'd you really do it?

Peer pressure? Attention?

You punishing Kate for being on the road so much?

It isn't easy loving someone

who's gone all the time, trust me.

But it isn't easy on them, either.

They miss out on a lot.

Listen, if you ever need to talk,

I'm a good sounding board.

So, you giving her a little tough love or what?

Ugh, I wanted to, but she's never been 13,

I've never had a teenager,

and there's not really a manual for this kind of thing, right?

I don't know, I'm pretty sure there's millions of books out there

on raising a girl.

True. But I think she's just rebelling

against a conversation we had the other night.

It doesn't take a profiler

to figure out why Meg would decide

to Pierce her belly button.

No.

Yes. Seriously?

Ok, so that's why you've got this little glow thing going on.

Well, you know. And all this time

I thought it was just me making you blush.

Oh, no, it's that, too.

Congrats. Come here.

Wow. Oh!

Hey, hugs are happening. Yeah.

I want in.

Hugs.

Why are we hugging?

Not that I mind some early morning

unexpected loving, but.

Heh. You're glowing. Heh.

She's glowing. She's glowing.

Who else knows?

Uh, Hotch, Morgan, and now you.

Oh! I'm so happy!

You guys. You guys! Kate has the best news.

Say it before we have to do the other stuff.

Good morning, I'm pregnant.

Garcia: Ahh! What?

Buona fortuna.

Congratulations again.

Thank you. Congratulations.

Yes! Oh, my goodness.

Ok, so when I was pregnant, I wore headphones on my belly

'cause I didn't want Henry hearing all this creepy stuff.

Oh, that's a good idea. What did you listen to?

Uh, Beatles, Bee Gees.

Spence insisted that he listen to Mozart.

Nice.

I hate to interrupt the joy,

but we really need to get to Wisconsin,

also known as the lovely badger state, home of milk and cheese.

Heaven to me, hell to the lactose intolerant.

And mosquitoes the size of an Impala,

I swear on my life.

Oh, good to know. Ok, two weeks ago,

Madison P.D. found the body of Mary Healy.

3 nights ago, they discovered Donna Rayburn.

And this morning, the body of Emma Ziko

was discovered by her friend.

They were supposed to go on a jog together.

All 3 women had had their wrists tied

to the bed with scarves,

and they were sexually assaulted

before they were strangled.

Patterns on the neck seem to be

from a quarter inch rope.

Yeah, the abrasion marks aren't very textured.

The cord material could be something like nylon.

Madison P.D. found the same DNA on all 3 victims.

And it says here that the unsub's not in CODIS.

Middle class suburb. He's either a member of it

or he blends in.

Burglary isn't a motive.

At Emma's, he ignored $200 cash on the dresser

and a box full of expensive jewelry.

Any signs of forced entry?

Maybe he came in through an open window.

No to both.

Maybe the unsub used a ruse to get in.

That's possible. Could be part of his M.O.

So he's less detectible.

Maybe he knows when they go to sleep

or he lies in wait.

If that's the case, it would take time.

He's patient.

Cell phone activity shows that Emma was home for hours.

Did he watch her the entire night?

Whether he knows the victims or not, he's hit his stride

and he's not gonna take time to cool off.

Wheels up in 30.

Girl: Hey, Dad. Hey, sweets.

You, uh, ready for your chemistry test?

Yeah, I think so.

== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man

Rossi: “There is hardly anyone whose sexual life

“if it were broadcast would not fill the world at large

with surprise and horror.”

W. Somerset Maugham.

All 3 victims were born and raised in the Madison area.

No priors.

Mary Healy was a dentist,

while Donna Rayburn was a logistics manager.

Both were 27 and single.

And Emma Ziko, the latest victim, was a chef.

She was 30 and married. Married?

That could be an escalation to what he desires most.

They lived 3 miles from each other,

but their social and work lives don't overlap.

So then the neighborhood itself might be the connection to him.

Getting in and out of a house undetected is tricky.

We still haven't ruled out a ruse.

With this combo of balls and skill,

it can't be his first time killing.

And Garcia should search for any past high risk victims in the area.

We should see if any of the victims

were in phone contact with the unsub.

All right, Dave, you and Reid go to the medical examiner.

Morgan and Kate go to the newest crime scene.

And JJ and I will interview friends and family at the station.

Hi, I'm Detective Pierce. We spoke on the phone.

I'm Agent Hotchner. This is Agent Jareau.

Nice to meet you.

Emma's husband just got back from a bachelor party

up North. He's at the crime scene.

Rachel Litterski, a friend of Donna's, is in there.

And over there is Mary Healy's brother Robert.

Thank you, Detective. Of course.

Robert, do you mind if I ask you a few questions about Mary?

Of course not.

Anything that helps.

How close were you two?

Very, um.

We even worked together.

I was her office manager,

and my wife was her best friend.

Did she have any enemies?

Donna was magnetic. Everybody loved her.

Did she mention anything about being followed or watched?

No. All she ever talked about was church stuff

and these romance novels she devoured by the bin.

Do you know what Donna's plans were that night?

Mary said she was tired

and going home right after work.

The person who did this probably knew her.

Was she ever in a controlling relationship?

Donna was too involved with church events for dating.

What about old boyfriends?

They were never around for long.

Where did she meet them?

Mostly online.

So many of them, I lost track.

Do any of them stick out?

Kevin was the only one,

but he died in a car accident two years ago.

He really broke her faith.

Losing him got her wrapped up in those books.

Garcia's still tracking the victims' cell phone records,

but she was unable to locate

any past high risk victims in the area.

So what if the area is first?

Well, they might have met online.

That's probably unlikely with Donna.

All she did was go to church

and binge-read romance novels.

But then how did he pick them?

These two victims just don't match up.

One dates around and the other didn't at all.

Ok, so what's the link that got these two targeted
