| The day after getting shot by the real Jack-of-All-Trades, a wounded Bailey calls upon FBI profiler Rachel Burke to find Sam after Jack kidnaps her and subjects her to tortuous mind games by confining her within and abandoned warehouse and trying to get her to be like him in killing to achieve a sense of superiority.
