"The doctor told me that if the paramedics hadn't been alerted to her epilepsy, she might not have made it." Mr. Scheuren said.

"You helped save her life," Soren assured him.

"You seen this kind of thing before?"

"Multiple times." Soren sighed "Unfortunately.."

"And kids come out of it ok, huh?" the man asked him.

Soren paused unsure of what to tell him but eventually he spoke "It'll take time but eventually she will. She's going to need you." he went silent for a brief moment once more "Make sure you're there for her.." He told the father.

Using the simulated photo Garcia made of the woman they caught her in a mall. Now she is in an interrogation room with Soren and Emily.

"Kathy, I can't help you if you're not going to be honest with me," Emily told her, her voice carrying a soft tone.

"I already told you, I killed them." Kathy insisted

"Really? All by yourself." Soren questioned clearly not believing her.

"Yes."

"Well, I know that's not true," Emily said.

"It is," Kathy repeated.

"How'd you do it?" Soren asked, "How did you abduct a child by yourself and control two adults while you slit their throats?"

"Oh, come on, you know she's not responsible for this," Emily told him.

"I know we have a string of bodies." Soren glanced down at Emily before glaring at Kathy "And I know she knows where her husband and son are."

"You are the victim here," Emily assured Kathy turning to face her.

"No, she's not!" Soren objected "She killed innocent people."

"Her family was murdered," Emily said.

"So now she's killing other people."

"Kathy, this is not your fault," Emily reassured the woman.

"My name isn't Kathy." Kathy objected "It's Sylvia."

"No, it isn't." Emily told her placing a photo of her as a young girl on the table for her to see "Your name is Kathy Gray." she continued "And you were a beautiful little girl. Your mom and dad were murdered and you were kidnapped." Emily explained. "Do you recognize yourself there? You see?"

"I'm done with all of this!" Soren snapped hitting his hands on the table making Kathy flinch.

"Then leave us alone!" Emily shouted back.

"Where are your husband and son!" He demanded.

"Look at me, Kathy!" Emily instructed her "Don't listen to him. They stole your life. Let me help you get it back!"

"That little girl is better off with my son than any man she could meet in your society!" Kathy shouted leaning forward over the table towards Soren.

"I'm sure you raised him very well." Emily said, "Tell me about your own mother."

"I've already told you everything. "Kathy answered, "I killed them, all by myself." She recited her previous claims.

"Stop your lying," Soren interjected.

"Kathy--" Emily tried to speak but was interrupted by Kathy.

"My name isn't Kathy!" She shouted.

"Yes, it is." Emily told her "Your name is Kathy Gray. You're from Vienna, Virginia. Tell me where your husband and son are so I can help you get your life back."

"You want to see the work you've done?" Soren said spreading out photos of the previous victims.

"Hey, don't show her those," Emily said.

"If she can do it she can see it!" Soren insisted "Serial Killers like to relive their crimes." he said glaring down at Kathy "Did you know that?" he asked.

He pointed to one of the photos "This is Geoff Hale." He informed her "He died from a strong, decisive cut. I think that was your husband." He pointed to the woman's photo next "Nancy Hale, her wound was more tentative. This was your son, right?" He questioned Kathy.

"I'm sure by the time he teaches his own son how to kill, his hand will be steady."

"Ok, stop--" Emily said

"This is the Robillard family." Soren continued.

"Kathy, you don't have to look at that," Emily told her.

"Want to see some more?"

"I don't know what that is!" Kathy shook her head gazing down at the photos laid out on the table.

"Look harder." Soren shouted at her "You don't recognize your own mother and father?"

Kathy began to cry but he held no compassion for her.

"This is the tentative cut your future husband made while he slit your mother's throat." Soren pointed to the photo of the woman "Where are your husband and son?" He demanded.

"Cate Hale is only alive because of you. your husband wanted to kill her, and you didn't."

"No."

"How does that make you feel?" Emily asked Kathy the two agents watching as she sobbed.

"To know that he was willing to kill that little girl?" She inquired "That he would have been willing to kill you, too? They murdered your family, Kathy, and they took you in, but you were never really one of them."

"No." Kathy denied shaking her head.

"You were just a breeder."

"I won't betray my family."

"Your little boy is only 10." Emily said, "There is a chance he could get out of custody when he's 18, but that's only if we get to him."

"I love my family." Kathy insisted.

"Then tell us where your son is." Emily advised her "And we can all help him together."

Rossi walked into the room handing Soren a file. He opened it sliding a paper out.

"Scott woodland, zander blanchard..." He read aloud to Kathy.

"Ok, come on, give her a second."

"Max Estep, chip Jackson." He continued.

"I don't know who those people are!" Kathy said.

"It's a list of every known fence in Huntsville," Rossi informed her.

Soren glanced up from the file to Kathy "And you need to tell us which one your husband took the girl to." He stated before continuing.

"Coles rudzinski, pete shernit."

"Come on, give her a minute to do the right thing!"

"Matt Thorne, Brent Woodhouse..."

"Ok, I can't stop him, Kathy." Emily told her "This is it. This is your last chance to make things right." she said/

"Kevin Everson, Mike Fenner, Morris Collins-- "

"stop!" Emily shouted hitting her hand on the table and standing up from her chair.

"I won't tell you!" Kathy shouted.

Soren shrugged closing the file "Just did." he informed her.

"Kathy," Emily called to her letting her son in the room.

"It's just you now." Kathy said "You're going to be strong. I love you, puyule."

"Nu le spune despre frații tăi."

"What did you tell him?" Rossi demanded.

"Ok, Kathy, no." Emily quickly put a stop to the interaction between the mother and her son.

They found that the translation was "Don't tell them about your brothers." They questioned the boy about his siblings but were never given an answer.
