i knew it wasn't meant for me, because it was addressed to..."my dove." he never called me that. do you still have it? no. i burned it. did the text reveal anything about the woman? the text was a joke. usually his prose was seamless and beautiful, but... this was... pedestrian and crude. you never asked him who this dove was? i thought there were no secrets between you.

6:35 pm
i'll leavey kids in the same position. don't you have life insurance? we had to cut it out of our budget a few years ago, and we never put it back in. you know, massmutual has a new policy called guaranteed acceptance life insurance. ste and i got covered, and it was affordable. i know there's nothing we can do about the situation we're in. but this is definitely something you can do to help protect your family. if you're age 50-75, call massmutual today for guaranteed acceptance life insurance. coverage ranges from $2,000 - $25,000, and premiums can start at less than $10 per month. it's an affordable way to get reliable coverage. there are no medical questions or exams, your acceptance is guaranteed. lp protect the people who matter most to you with guaranteed acceptance life insurance. call massmutual at this number. call now. victim's maxine chandler. neighbors say she's lived here her whole life, all 28 years of it, anyway.
6:36 pm
well, none of her own. runs a day care. the guy that called 911 came here to drop off his toddler, found maxine in her bedroom. coroner's in there with her now. you check all entry points? yeah. no damage, no tool marks. same as the first. now that we have two victims, we have data we can compare. we should see what victimology can tell us. morgan: i'll get j.j. to bring us the files on the first victim. what'd you find? well, i put the time of death around 2 a.m. victim was struck multiple times with a blunt object. signs of penetration, fluids. same post-mortem mutilation? same, but, uh, different. prentiss: 9 puncture marks this time. hotchner: i wish i could say this was about the unsub's disorganized behavior or mounting rage. it doesn't feel that way. no, they definitely mean something. can i have your pen? yeah. what is it? i'm not sure. she did this.
6:37 pm
she made these dots like this before she made the puncture wounds. that's why the coroner found paper in the wounds. it was a template. the angel maker did it from memory, but she needed a guide to get it right. we need to go back and re-examine each of the patterns. where's reid? here's another one to dove-- november 2, 2006. same thing? yeah. "weather is good here. out in the garden all day. birds land on the fence. the moon is full now." he got an hour a day in a ccrete yard. there was no garden. there were no birds. death row haiku. i mean, you have to try to write this bad. i think he did. he tried very hard to put each word, each letter, even, in the right order. so it's a code. this steganographic method would allow him torite letters thaton't appear enciphered. the real message would be hiding in plain sight. what do you need to crack it? the ability to clone myself and a year's supply of adderall. i'll put on the coffee.
6:38 pm
too much overlap. i've got both women atat the same church, same doctor, same grocery store. she's mimicking the angel maker. maybe we should look at his victims. hotchner: yeah, but there's a disconnect. the angel maker chose women because they excited him sexually. the copycat's satisfaction isn't sexual. now it's in perfectly re-creating the murders. so what she looks for in a victim is someone who's easy to kill. which, for her, means easy access to their homes. what did delilah grennan do for work? j.j.: she made jewelry,sold it out of her home. morgan: so they both had home-based businesses. a stranger could walk in off the street and be a prospective customer. prentiss: unsub poses as a client, maybe uses the bathroom, cracks the window, so she can get back in later. let'check their business records and see who came by on the day of the murders.
6:39 pm
sky's so clear here, huh? never see stars like this in d.c. it's beautiful. oh, my god. the puncture wounds on the victim's stomachs represent constellations. constellations? don't tell me this guy was following the zodiac. no, these are from a family of constellations known the heavenly waters. morgan: well, i guess we know how he came up with the nickname. that's why he'd open up all the windows after each kill, so their souls could be released into the s. delphinus, the dolphin; equuleus, the little horse. anything sound familiar? his origami things. hotchner: there are constellations in the heavenly waters. the angel maker killed 6. yeah, our unsucontinued where he left off. first she did vela, and then last night she did carina. the only one left is columba, the dove. one more kill and she completes his set. hotchner: she knew the meaning of the stomach wounds,
6:40 pm
she must have been a lot closer to ryan than we thought. reid: they weren't just close. they were in love. how'd you crack it? i profiled the author. cortland ryan was on death row with several high-ranking members of the aryan brotherhood. he got the cod from the aryans? either that or he read a lot of 16th-century literature. the aryans liked to use a cipher based on a 400-year-old code written by sir francis bacon. morgan: so it's a binary code. yeah. bacon used a 21-letter alphabet. this one's 24. each letter is assign a bit string of 5 binary digits. this combination yields 32 possible encodings. normally you'd use a computer to run all these combinations, but it was quicker just to do it longhand until i found the right one. he's so lifelike. now we don't have a complete record of their correspondence, but i was able to make a chronology. the woman he calls "dove" established contact shortly after the trial. "my dearest cortland, thank you for writing back to me. the day the verdict was read, we shared a silent moment..."
6:41 pm
"every time i see you, i feel warmed as if by the sun, "and yet i fear if i come too close, i'll be consumed by your fire." ryan: "ever since your visit, i am crazed with thoughts of you. "already you've entered my dreams. "each time you appear to me, i'm embraced by a feeling ofrust and belief, as if i've known you all my life." woman: "as always, i am touched by your words, "but i long to see you again. "days pass quietly, one into the next..." ryan: "my dove..." woman: "i can think of little else..." "my secret wife..." "if only they would let us marry..." "all appeals are lost..." "i could finally ld your hand..." "the guards celebrated my defeat by clearing out my cell..." "here is my face..." "possessions matter little to a condemned man..." "they die with you, the only man who will ever truly see me." "but i can't leave this wor before seeing your face one last time." "i will bringa part of you back into the world,
6:42 pm
what do you think she meant by that last line: "i will bring a part of you back"? morgan: the murders? she brought him back to life. j.j.: what if she was talking about his child? reid: well, she did say "us"-- "watch over us from the stars." she used the semen samples to plant evidence, not to get pregnant. what if she did both? well, if she actually had his kid, we might be able to track her through birth records. sheriff: agent hotchner? we just got a report of a woman attacked in her house by a female assailant. is she ok? sounds like it, but i can't say the same for the attacker, though. neighbors heard cries for help, pretty soon half the block was on her. [police radio, indistinct] the victim was coming home from work, said the suspect approached her in her driveway. asked to use the phone to call a tow truck. she let her in the house? that's when the suspect jumped her. that's not our unsub's m.o. maybe she was ,shing it trying to finish off the last victim. [sighs] that's shara.
6:43 pm
rossi and i already interviewed her. she's cortland's number-one fan. her alibi is solid. she's not our unsub. shara...why? it worked for her. why not for me?
6:44 pm
from the dairy farmers of fairlife, this is our promise. we start with delicious, creamy, real milk that's then ultra filtered so fairlife has more protein and and only half the sugar. and never any artificial owth hormones. at fairlife, we believe in better. tt:w`tif`n9*mj6 `p _j
6:45 pm
so, where are we going for dinner? it's a surprise. ok, but it better not be too pricey. don't worry, we've made some smart purchases lately. alright, i'll see you soon. do you take walk-ins? i'll make an exception.
6:46 pm
what happened? how did you make this? what is this? how did you get up there? he did what? how did it go? what? how in the? what did you do? honey, how did that happen? wake up! what? what? how? what? asking the right questions. that's caring. and that's why whirlpool made their cabrio washer with settings that simply ask "what" and "how" to get the perfect wash. every day, care. whirlpool we're gonna set-up this lie detector test. if you lie to me, your phone's gonna drop. you would rather tell your parent how you lost your virginity... aww man. than drop your phone. n0000. oh my gahh... oh!...
6:47 pm
fortunately, that's not your phone. [laughs] if you had the droid turbo 2 - you wouldn't have to worry about it at all. so, if i drop it from here, it's perfectly fine. this is the world's first shatterproof display. (sfx: phone smacking on granite.) olay regenerist renews from within... plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers. your concert tee might show your age... your skin never will. olay regenerist, olay. ageless. and try the micro-sculpting cream you love now with lightweight spf 30. jane likes to mix things up. that's why she loves new light & fit greek non-fat yogurt mousse. so fluffy and airy it's her new 80 calorie obsession.
6:48 pm
garcia: ok, there were 463 children born in the lower canaan area between 2006 and 2008, so if you want me to find baby angel maker, we're gonna have to narrow this down. j.j.: all right, well, reid still has more letters to decode, but he did find a phrase: "i knew even before they told me that the future had taken root." "taken root"? sounds like someone got good news. date of conception. and the date of that letter? uh, january 7, 2007. ok, so we fast-forward 9 months. uh, 10 months, actually. really? i know. it was news to me, too. huh! ok. so we'll search birth records from august to september 2007. how's that? we'll do single mothers only, in case she wanted to keep the father a secret,
6:49 pm
well, mine likes to poke people in the stomach with tools, so there." there. 9 names. now that's a little more manageable. sheriff: hannah dreyfus was in an auto accidt. she could barely walk. shannon conway moved away when the plant closed a year ago. any other names you recognize? no. i don't--whoa. what is it? well, this one here sounds familiar, but i can't really place it. chloe kelcher. chloe kelcher. that is familiar. chloe kelcher. she was on the jury. well, that makes sense. she would have been exposedto the case evidence, seen firsthand what he did to his victims. hotchner: that's when she fell in love with him, sitting across the courtroom every day. sheriff: well, it's one thing to have a relationship with a killer, it's another to become one. reid: there might have been an incident that prompted the transformation. i think i know what it was.
6:50 pm
microvesicular steatosis. her baby died at the hospital. clear! clear. she's not here. all right. we all know what the end game is. she's looking for her final victim. she may have already chosen one.let's tear this place apart, look for anything that might tell us who she's targeted. look at this. she did everything she could to deny the truth. what, that he was a killer? that they'd never be together. note the view. daddy's watching. hotchner: it must have devastated her to think
6:51 pm
completing his murders became the only way she could hold on to him. not the only way. well... guess that answers that. i assume that's who i think it is. got an appointment book here. meetings with delilah grennan and maxine chandler the day of each murder. sheriff, have you found her tools or the gun? nothing yet. she has something this morning: "faye landreaux, 162 north--" north red river drive. she's a cpa. she does my taxes. hotchner: she work out of her house? yep. let's go. that's it. '85 volkswagen. chloe's here. car's still warm. we got to be right behind her.
6:52 pm
well, my team's ready. let's get in there. sheriff, we didn't recover a gun at chloe's house. we have to assume she's armed. well, so are we. rossi: if you storin now, she'll shoot, and chances are she'll start with your accountant. what do you think, guys? i think you should look for an open window. sheriff, i need you to bring all your vehicles around to the front, facing forward with lights off, and i need a megaphone. hotch, i don't think you can get through to her no, but maybe you can. profile's clear. you can't talk this woman down.
6:53 pm
she's left a window open somewhere. morgan will find a way in. we just need to buy him some time. hit the lights. [siren] prentiss: chloe, this is the fbi. we know you're in there, and we know what you're trying to do. what are you doing? what are you doing? don't move, bitch, or i swear to god, i will split you in two. please, don't do this. roll over. roll over. roll over! prentiss: i know you think that finishing what cortland started willring you closer to him, but first you should know who he really was. don't worry. there's a much better place for you. prentiss: i know you thought you were special, but the truth is, the same things he wrote to you, he wrote to many other women. i've seen the letters. dozens read the same lines:
6:54 pm
"you don't need ttouch me to feel the love i have for you." does that sound familiar? [hyperventilating] prentiss: cortland wasn't who you thought he was. he--he was a narcissist, chloe. he wasn't capable of lovin anyone but himself. to carla kettinger, he wrote, "ever since your visit, i am crazed with thoughts of you..." ryan: "already you have entered my dreams." prentiss: "each time you appear to me..." ryan: "i am embraced by a feeling of trust "and belief, as if i' known you all my life. "it's clear to me now that you are my fate. we are destined to be together." prentiss: "and when i am gone, that will not change. ryan: "i will live on in you. in death, our union will be eternal." [faye whimpering] prentiss: "all appeals are lost.
6:55 pm
no, no, no. don't speak. don't talk. i'm gonna get you out of here, ok? ryan: "possessions matter little to a condemned man, "but i cannot leave this wor "without seeing your face one last tim ok, that window over there. i want you to go to that window. it's gonna be ok. ok, go, go, go. prentiss: it isn't your fault that he made you feel these things. it isn't your fault your baby died. no! it's over, chloe. we have faye. [grunting]
6:56 pm
i think we got some tear gas. i'm assuming it's still good. we're not gonna need it. she doesn't have any place to go. well, maybe she'll do us all a favor and put herself down. she's not gonna do that, either. she's not done. chloe, drop the gun. hotchner: chloe, drop the gun. sheriff: damn it, lady, drop it! i'm coming to you, baby. [hotchner groaning] oh... hotch.
6:57 pm
[hotchner groaning] hotch? oh... [sighs] what did she do? we took her victim. she had to complete his work. hotchner: wendell berry said, "the past is our definition. "we may strive with good reason to escape it "or to escape what is bad in it, but we will escape it only by adding something better to it." i made these for your flight. thank you. it's small thanks, but-- my recipe. i'sorry you d to go through all this again. i suppose we never stop going through it, but...maybe now. hopefully.
6:58 pm
yeah, she'll be fi. maybe you got to sit with the past before you can walk away from it. thank you, sheriff. thank you. j.j.: anyone get directions back to the airstrip? town's only got one road. we'll find it. yeah, morgan doesn't like to follow directions. you didn't know about that? yeah, he likes to vibe it. ok, smart ass. you drive. oh, great. thank you. for the flight. what? just gonna grab my bag. you're not coming? uh, think i'm gonna drive. oh, it's over 7 hours back to quantico. i really shouldn't be flying. oh. i've done that drive before. you'll see a lot of pretty cotry along the byways. you might consider... stretching it out a day or two.
6:59 pm
captioning made possible by touchstone television and cbs, inc. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- man: this is a special report from la plata county, colorado. we're reminded of jim mckay's words from munh-- "our greatest hopes and our worst fears are seldom realized." let's hope it's not the latter as we wait to hear the fate
7:00 pm
jim, are you getting this?! girl: [whispering] he comes into my bedroom and lays with me. he says it's god's will. i'm only 15. and i'm not the only one. please help me! reid: tell us about the 9-1-1 call. i believe the he that they referred to is the church's leader, benjamin cyrus. benjamin cyrus-- no criminal record. no record at all, really. what else do you know about him? it's rumored that he's practicing polygamy and forced marriages. any idea who the caller is? uh, jessica evanson is the one who the age fits, but...we can't be sure. so i negotiated interviews with all the children. it wasn't easy. well, considering their view on outsiders, would be best if you didn't identify uas f.b.i. just use our real names,
