Don Flack [about Michael]: Maybe he decided to do us all a favour and took himself out.
It's hard to tell in this place but I am seeing indications of a struggle. And if he took himself out, where's the gun?
(checks) No. No gun here.
Well, I'm no expert but I've seen enough guns in my time to know that they don't just grow legs and walk away.
No, he didn't commit suicide. Michael Reynolds was murdered. What a life. He gets kidnapped, kept for three years, escapes... only to be murdered 12 years later.
Michael had a brother... Tom Reynolds.
Mitochondrial DNA from the hair was a match to Michael.
Mito's shared by all maternal relatives, including brothers, so it would also be a match to Tom.
So he's our shooter. Why?
Off to one side, unnoticed. Everyone else around him is celebrating Michael's return. Tom is just standing there.
So you're telling me he starts shooting people 'cause he didn't get enough hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy?
Jo Danville [about serial killers]: Neglect, it was the most common form of abuse in their childhood.
He murdered his brother, then he goes on a shooting rampage. Getting to that point cannot be that simple.
No, it's not. It's usually a preexisting condition, a genetic anomaly of some sort that renders them susceptible.
Nature combined with nurture.
Emptiness. Loneliness. Abandonment! How much can one person take? How much can one person do? 'Cause I've tried. God, how I've tried.
You make my life a living hell! And for what? What did I do to deserve this? I'm tired of... of waiting for something to change, because nothing changes. Always just stays the same!
I've seen this type of behavior before. They start off by killing a loved one.
The one that they think is responsible for their neglect?
Yeah. And then things spiral out of control from there.
I tried everything... to make you notice me. But you look past me. You cast me aside. Like I'm invisible. But I'm not invisible. I'm right here. Right here in front of you. You turned my life into a hole, empty of everything. One day... you'll pay.
It's over, Tom! Put down your weapon! I know what happened to your brother!
I know what happened to him. I was there. I know what happened to you.
Mac Taylor [to Tom Reynolds]: Your family turned away from you. We all did. I know what that must have been like.
You don't know anything. No one knows what that's like living in a hole! Abandoned. Ignored. No one knows what that's like!
Killing people won't change that!
Look around you. What's going on. All of this is because of me! Because of what I'm doing!
There are other ways, Tom!
I've tried all the other ways. Nothing changes. It's just the same! But now? Now it's different. People will know me. They'll know my name. They'll know my face.
