The Pact II

---

There's only one room you got to worry about,

but it's a goddamn mess.

Guy blew his brains out all over

the walls.

That shouldn't be a problem.

You gonna keep that?

I'll hold on to it if you're

just gonna throw it away.

Ballard.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

Special agent

terrence ballard.

Okay.

Agent ballard, let's just sit

tight a minute.

Why don't you just tell your

lieutenant that fbi is here?

Lieutenant...

ah, ah, ah.

...could you come out here

for a minute?

Yeah.

Is there a problem here?

No, there's no problem.

Just seems that officer --

what is it?

-- Meyer and i are having a little disagreement.

Great.

He's clear to come in.

Cup of coffee

before we get started?

No. I don't drink coffee.

Make sure you

cover your feet, too.

It's pretty messy in there.

Tell me about the woman.

Her name was ellie ford, 28.

Dmv records say she moved here

from houston three years ago.

Checked her phone?

Her cell's missing,

but we know she kept her 713 houston area code.

And?

We're pulling

the records now.

Who found her?

Building manager

-- found her early this morning.

I read your report on when

they found judas

last week. It was good.

Yeah, well... since

you were in town,

it made sense to

get your opinion on this one.

What are the similarities?

The wrists and

ankles bound with wire,

uh, marks and bruising

from struggle and

resisting, ultimately

killed by decapitation --

everything matches

the judas m.o. except

for a couple of things.

What things?

I think it's best

you take a look for yourself.

If you're in here,

who's watching the front,

officer meyer?

Agent ballard.

Mm?

I can have forensics

give you copies of photos.

I prefer to take

my own. Thanks.

Excuse me.

Where's her head?

That's the first difference.

We think he took it with him,

but we're still

sweeping the area, just in case.

That's a pretty

big difference.

And that is an

interesting touch.

In the dark,

i call your name

you take my hand

you hold me tight

i pull you in

to the dark you're --

morning.

Good morning.

You're home late.

Yeah. It was a shitty night.

Yeah?

Yeah, the last call

was a homicide.

I got stuck guarding

the crime scene.

Oh, that sucks.

Mm.

You're getting

started pretty early.

Mm-hmm. Busy day.

I got a job booked,

and i'm taking mom to n.a.

i just want to get a

little more done.

And i'll make us

some breakfast.

Okay.

So, what was the crime scene like -- messy?

Oh, yeah, it

was pretty messy.

And, plus, they brought

in this... dick from the fbi.

It's pretty weird

to bring in the fbi, right?

I guess he was already

down here working on that dead

serial-killer thing.

But, of course, he walked in

like he owned the place.

What?

Want me to beat him up for you?

Would you?

Yeah.

I feel really

weak compared to him.

Really?

He's -- he's -- he's pretty big for a short guy.

No, it was embarrassing. I mean,

they didn't even tell me they were gonna bring him in,

which made me look

like an idiot.

They already book a cleaner?

Oh, no, probably not.

Put in a good word for me?

Yeah, i'll put

in a word for you.

Why, thank you.

No problem.

Babe?

Yeah?

You think you're

overbooking yourself?

Well, i got to work, right?

Yeah, of course, but, i mean,

you've been working

a lot lately.

Well, i got my

mom to take care of.

Honey, she's

holding you back.

What's that supposed to mean?

Look -- look, she takes your

time. She takes your money.

She's my mother, daniel.

You know, i'm gonna

go to work. I'm late, anyway.

Well, wait. Wait a minute.

What about breakfast?

June, wait. Wait. I'm sorry.

Look, i'm not trying to make you

mad here, okay?

I'm...

you've got...

such a great opportunity with your work here,

and i just don't want

to see you lose it.

I know.

I got you something.

Daniel, you don't

have to get me anything.

I don't want you to think

it's anything more than a --

than a -- a token or something.

Just... i, um, i saw it, and it

made me think of you.

Wow, it's really

-- it's really pretty.

Is it too big?

No, it's -- it's fine.

It's perfect.

Thank you.

Okay, i'm late. I got to go.

Okay.

I'm gonna be late.

Yeah. June, i love you.

Okay.

Hey, honey.

Hey, mom.

Margaret abbott.

March 9, 1996.

Okay, we're recording.

So, let's start with how you left your

6-year-old daughter june in the car.

It wasn't on purpose.

Usually, with my

dealer, it's just real quick.

You know, it's like in and out.

And how long was it?

Mm. I don't really know.

I lost track of time, i guess.

So you were high.

Yeah.

Um, i didn't plan to, though.

I wanted to leave her, but he

had me do a shot with him right

there -- you know how it is.

So it could have

been an hour?

Mm. Maybe?

Even more?

Couple of hours?

Yeah, yeah, i-i guess.

I mean, june told the cops

that found her that she was only

waiting a couple of minutes.

Yes?

I've got those

birth certificates and hospital

records you were looking for.

Thank you.

So she lied.

Why do you think she'd lie?

Mm. June's always

looking out for me.

Hey.

Hey.

How was it?

Uh. Hmm, hmm.

Not bad.

Terry relapsed, but

we saw that coming.

Yeah.

Mom, you got to do your belt.

Oh.

Okay.

Since when did

you start wearing a ring?

Oh, it's just something that

daniel gave me the other day.

Daniel gave it to you.

Why?

What are you smiling about?

Nothing. I just

think he is really good for you.

It's really beautiful, too.

Yeah. It's not bad, right?

Oh, wait! No, honey!

What?

I got to go in

for my test before we go home.

Right now?

It's for my probation.

Well, mom, how long is that

gonna take?

'Cause i have a job later.

You know what?

If you're too busy,

then that's fine. No, i'm not --

drop me off. I'll take a bus.

Mom, i will take you. It's fine.

I just wish that you would

tell me these things

ahead of time.

Okay.

In the dark,

i call your name

did you get a call

from the station today?

Yeah. They said they're gonna

release the crime

scene in the morning,

as soon as the fbi

gives the all-clear.

Dan, i know you weren't trying

to start a fight this morning.

You hold me tight...

yeah, i -- it's just --

no, no, no, no, listen.

I-i really appreciate

how supportive you are.

...to the dark

you're after

what is this song?

Oh, i just -- i

just downloaded this today.

Good evening, officer meyer.

You've got to be kidding me.

June abbott.

Uh, yes?

Terrence ballard, fbi.

Oh, you're the

a**hole fbi guy.

Yeah, that's probably me.

Isn't it kind of late?

I wouldn't be

here if it wasn't important.

So you're not married.

Nope.

And, june, you work in

trauma scene cleanup, right?

Yes.

Is that how you two met?

No, we met in community

college a couple of years ago.

I'm sorry. Why exactly

are you here?

I'm an fbi profiler.

My, uh, first case

was the, uh, judas killer.

I began that profile over 20 years ago...

when the trail went cold.

Then the case

is closed, right?
