00:00You are just surrounded by darkness. Why do you do it?
00:05Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the extremely disturbing, upsetting, or difficult-to-watch cases on criminal minds.
00:13We will not be considering any spinoffs, and there will be spoilers, so here's your warning.
00:20Did it need to end that way? Could something have been done to prevent the tragedy in the first place?
00:27Number 20. Innocent Execution.
00:30The BAU team is sent to question a serial killer couple, Jacob and Sarah Jean, before their execution to see if there are any more victims.
00:37Are there more bodies?
00:40If I told you that, what would I have left for myself?
00:44While Jacob had killed many women, Sarah Jean only confessed to killing their son Riley.
00:49Elle and Morgan are sent to the couple's home, where they come across a letter from Sarah Jean stating her innocence.
00:55Gideon comes to believe that she didn't kill her son,
00:57but she resists any attempt to prove he is alive.
01:01I only have a few hours left.
01:05I'm respectfully asking you to leave.
01:07She wants Riley to be free of Jacob's evil legacy, even if it means being executed for a crime she didn't commit.
01:15Number 19. The Devil.
01:17Several women are found dead in ritualistic killings linked to satanic worship.
01:21The unsub is James Heathridge, who not only drowns his victims in a horrifying manner,
01:26but does so believing it's his mission to kill the wives of the Devil.
01:30Sorry, but we have to find the last of the Devil's wives.
01:32There's never gonna be a last one, is there?
01:40This'll go on forever and ever.
01:42He gets visions from his mother, whose legacy he's carrying on.
01:45James is led to believe by his mother that his sister Laura might be a bride of the Devil.
01:50So he's about to sacrifice her, but the BAU team arrives just in time to stop him.
01:55The episode ends with Satan showing up and demanding that Laura leaves with him.
01:59I've waited so long for you, Laura.
02:04It's time to come with me now.
02:06Is it real or just in her head?
02:08It's unsettling either way.
02:10Number 18. The Stalker.
02:12It's a day off from dealing with crimes, investigations, and unsubs, or so you might think.
02:17Garcia holds a hacking workshop, but one of the participants, Elizabeth,
02:21comes to her seeking help in dealing with a stalker.
02:24Who are you hiding from?
02:25Uh, I have a, you know, stalker, but it's all online, so it's probably fine, right?
02:33Maybe. Probably.
02:34She's received tons of increasingly threatening messages and spy photos of herself.
02:39Garcia and Alves go to Elizabeth's apartment to investigate further and discover that not only
02:44has the stalker been in her home, but he fashioned a small alcove under her bed.
02:49Of course it's extremely unsettling to have your personal space invaded in such a manner.
02:54Now, we check under our beds every night.
02:57This unsub would have to have a key, or four, to get into Elizabeth's apartment and plant this.
03:02And then take pictures.
03:03Number 17. Feigned Innocence.
03:06A serial killer is attacking women in rural Oklahoma,
03:09and he's taking away their senses with the use of sulfuric acid.
03:13Please, don't hurt me.
03:15Why would I hurt you?
03:20He's able to lure unsuspecting women in thanks to a developmental disability that gives him the
03:25appearance of being harmless. But he holds a deep-seated grudge from being rejected in his
03:30youth and takes that rejection out on his victims. His actions are completely unhinged as he sadistically
03:36torments the people he captures. It's especially disturbing because he constantly brags about how
03:42much pleasure he gets from the pain he causes.
03:49Number 16. Evil Legacy.
03:52The BAU comes across women being targeted in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
03:56They quickly make a connection to a similar series of attacks in the 80s.
04:00Wait, we think this could be the same killer? That's a hell of a cooling off period.
04:04Thinking it's the same unsub coming back from a long break,
04:07but soon find that the perpetrator Charlie is the son of Robert, who was responsible for the old
04:12murders. Charlie grew up fatherless as Robert apparently died in a farming accident,
04:17but Charlie felt it was his duty to live up to his father's legacy.
04:21We are starting a family!
04:23I never wanted that.
04:24You are a liar! And a sick son of a bitch, just like your daddy was.
04:29It's understandable to want to know where you come from,
04:32but it's twisted to continue to carry out such heinous acts.
04:36Number 15. Living Out Your Fears.
04:38Normally, when seeking out mental health services,
04:41those who work in that field are supposed to help you work through issues.
04:45It's been seven minutes.
04:47I'm done with this, okay?
04:50Is it worse than you thought?
04:53I can't breathe.
04:56What are you doing? Just let me out!
04:58Obviously, a lot of personal information is revealed and trust is huge when seeking out therapy.
05:04However, in this case, Dr. Howard runs an illegal practice under the guise of helping people deal
05:09with phobias. But really, he's using their fears as part of his own sick curiosity.
05:14It's chilling how he calmly stands by his victims, jotting down notes and inquiring how
05:19they're feeling when he's put them in dire situations.
05:23No, no, no, no.
05:24You're worse than you thought?
05:25Yes, please. You don't have to do this. I'm gonna be okay.
05:29Number 14. The Most Dangerous Game.
05:32While investigating a series of murders in rural Idaho,
05:35the BAU makes the grisly discovery that the victims were being hunted like wild animals.
05:40You gotta challenge yourself, Johnny. That's the only way you're ever gonna get better.
05:43The perpetrators, Johnny and Paul, delight in tracking down prey,
05:47as it's part of the thrill. They use bows and arrows as part of their hunt and let their victims
05:52die in agony. They also really enjoy the psychological torment they bring to their victims.
05:57Run.
05:58It's scary that they could lack any humanity or compassion as they seem to be motivated purely
06:19for sport. Number 13. Deadly Skin Care. Emma Kerrigan begins abducting men because she's
06:25deluded into thinking that their bodies can cure her of a skin disease.
06:29Mommy? What's the matter?
06:31She keeps the men in a barn, literally as livestock, as they're chained and force-fed.
06:36Not only are the conditions in which these men are kept completely deplorable,
06:40we also find out that she doesn't actually suffer from any skin condition.
06:44When she looks at herself, she sees blistering and redness that's not actually there.
06:49Perhaps the worst part is that she performs a C-section on a woman to get her placenta
06:54because she believes it will cure her and her daughter.
06:57This is not punishment. I'm trying to keep you healthy.
07:00Number 12. Alternate Dimensions. The loss of a son is a traumatic experience,
07:06and unsub George Kyle Peters has taken to killing fathers in order to cross over into another universe
07:11as a way to cope.
07:12You have to mark him, Kyle.
07:15He further believes that he'll be able to reunite with his son in another dimension.
07:21His guilt is manifested in the form of a demon, Rusty, that George sees.
07:25It's Rusty who encourages him to commit the murders, and berates him when he hesitates.
07:30Don't you want to see your son again?
07:36This child for yours.
07:38It really speaks to how powerful a force guilt can be on the human psyche.
07:42Number 11. Rabies Experimentation.
07:45If not treated right away, rabies is fatal.
07:48Unsub David Cunningham witnessed his young brother die from the virus,
07:52and the trauma has stayed with him since.
07:54Eat.
07:57You'll need your strength.
07:59He would capture victims and purposefully infect them with rabies
08:02and coldly watch the symptoms develop until the fatal end.
08:06He kept those he abducted in cages and would use a cattle prod to keep them compliant.
08:11No matter how much a person pleaded and begged to be let go,
08:15Cunningham would just videotape them.
08:17You cold?
08:21Yes.
08:22That's from the fever.
08:26Please just let me go.
08:27The thought of having someone infect you with a deadly virus
08:30just to watch you suffer from its effects is truly haunting.
08:34Number 10.
08:35The Reaper Storyline.
08:36Though this is an overarching narrative rather than a case contained to one episode,
08:41The Reaper is simply too terrifying to ignore.
08:44Are you scared?
08:48You should be.
08:49George Foyette has a knack for three things.
08:52Killing, manipulating others, and escaping justice.
08:55Having first tangled with Hotch and company in season 4,
08:58he returns the next year to leave a permanent mark on the series.
09:01The Reaper goes to Hotch's house and cruelly forces Hotch to listen to his ex-wife be shot.
09:06Though the BAU agent makes it to the house before the Reaper can kill his son too,
09:10it's too late for Hayley.
09:12Between Foyette's sadistic need for power and seeing Hotch break,
09:16this is a tough storyline to get through.
09:18Number 9.
09:19The Lake Murders.
09:20This is yet another instance of an unsub who suffered at the hands of a parent.
09:25And the flashbacks of this killer's father's savage treatment
09:27are as difficult to watch as the crimes his son goes on to commit.
09:32Wake up!
09:34Wake up!
09:35Making for a sight that's as uncomfortable as it is brutal,
09:39the killer stalks innocent victims that he can drown and then violently revive.
09:44Why?
09:44As a child, he had a horrifying near-death experience.
09:48Now, he's dying of cancer and is desperate to know what, if anything, happens after death.
09:53From start to finish, this case stood out as significantly darker than the average.
09:58Hello, Dad.
10:00Number 8.
10:00Decisions, Decisions.
10:02You can go free whenever you'd like.
10:04You just have to kill someone first.
10:06Two of you will leave this room alive.
10:10One of you will die.
10:11When three young girls are abducted and forced into a dungeon-like basement,
10:15it's certainly distressing enough to see the parents of the girls panic.
10:19But when the killer lets his victims know that only two of the three will be walking out alive,
10:24it cranks the tension to an entirely new level.
10:27Switching between shots of the BAU trying desperately to track the girls before it's too late,
10:31and the girls struggling with a decision that will change their lives forever,
10:35This case keeps audiences on the edge of their seats until the bitter end.
10:40What's happening?
10:42Nothing, Brooke.
10:43Nothing.
10:44Go back to sleep.
10:45Number 7.
10:46The Prince of Darkness.
10:47Few actors can bring the creep factor like Tim Curry.
10:51On your knees.
10:52Don't do it!
10:53But don't do it!
10:56That's a good point.
10:58Known as the Prince of Darkness,
11:00Curry's character uses rolling blackouts throughout his target cities
11:03as windows to attack his victims under the cover of darkness.
11:07Relishing the position of power his crimes put him in,
11:10his lack of remorse and desire to inflict psychological trauma on his surviving victims
11:14surely makes even the most resilient of viewers feel queasy.
11:17What's more,
11:18one of the cops on the case has a personal connection to this killer
11:21that puts him and his loved ones at risk.
11:23Between that and leftover viewer trauma from Tim Curry's performance
11:27as Pennywise the Clown in It,
11:29this episode is pure horror.
11:35Number 6.
11:36Young Brides.
11:37Brainwashing, kidnapping, and young brides.
11:40Oh my.
11:41What if she doesn't like me?
11:43Any one of these would have made for an intense case,
11:45but presented all at once,
11:47these factors ensure that this season 4 episode is truly and deeply disturbing.
11:51A traveling Romani family is abducting little girls as potential brides for their young son,
11:56and watching how calm and collected they are about the situation is chilling.
12:01What's worse,
12:02we learn that the mother of the family was similarly abducted,
12:05and now simply accepts that this process is as normal as buying bread.
12:09Everything's okay.
12:10You're a part of something now.
12:13Unsurprisingly,
12:14her attempts to comfort the girls don't do much good,
12:16but they sure make us viewers uncomfortable.
12:19Number 5.
12:20Living Dolls.
12:21We're not sure what the most disturbing aspect of this case is.
12:24The troubling childhood suffered by the unsub,
12:27or how she chooses to deal with it later in life.
12:30So death isn't this unsub's goal,
12:31it's an unfortunate side effect.
12:33Exactly.
12:34Referencing the dolls her father gave her as a half-hearted apology,
12:37the now-grown-up killer decides she wants to keep playing with dolls.
12:41Odd, but acceptable in principle.
12:43In practice, however,
12:45she satisfies this need with human dolls.
12:47You're so pretty.
12:49Capturing attractive young women and keeping them drugged and painted like toys,
12:54this killer soon finds out that humans don't survive long, trust up.
12:57When one is finished,
12:59she simply disposes of the girl and finds a new one,
13:02perpetuating the chilling cycle.
13:04Number 4.
13:05Cannibalistic Satanist.
13:06How many disturbing habits can you cram into one unsub?
13:10Apparently, quite a few.
13:11An inverted pentagram.
13:13Not only marking his victims by carving satanic symbols into their chests,
13:17this killer also forces his victims to eat the fingers of his other victims.
13:22His taste for human flesh and desire to share it with his victims is bad enough.
13:26Does he really need to trick additional innocent bystanders into consuming human meat as well?
13:31Apparently, yes.
13:33In fact,
13:34this case goes so far that the unsub ends up serving human chili to search and rescue volunteers.
13:39You know what?
13:40A vegetarian diet is starting to sound like a good option after watching this episode.
13:45Number 3.
13:46The Puppet Master.
13:48Some are born monsters.
13:50Others become monsters.
13:52Please just let me go.
13:54How can I let you go?
13:55We haven't even started.
13:57After suffering serious brain damage,
13:59the killer in this case reverts back to a childlike mind with the goal of recreating his father's murder.
14:05But this time,
14:06Puppet saved the day.
14:07Obsessed with finding the perfect puppets for his show,
14:10he abducts and murders multiple actors before settling on the right pair.
14:14With dislocation scenes horrific enough to make viewers cover their eyes,
14:18the unsub's delusion and determination to see his performance through is as disturbing as his methods.
14:24So he's a psychopath who thinks he's a kid again and wants to avenge his father's death.
14:28Number 2.
14:29Scientific Experimentation.
14:31A case too twisted to be solved in only one episode,
14:34This two-part story was inspired by the real-life serial killer Robert Pickton.
14:38I really believe he's about to abduct someone again.
14:40It's coming soon.
14:41Tonight, tomorrow.
14:42We know he sticks to a tight cycle.
14:44The killer here is actually a team of two brothers,
14:47with Mason, who has paralysis acting as the brains of the operation,
14:51and Lucas, who has mental disabilities as the brawn.
14:54Together, they capture unhoused people,
14:56people with substance use disorder,
14:58and sex workers from the streets,
15:00so Mason can conduct his sadistic scientific experiments on them.
15:04Though he's attempting to cure his paralysis,
15:06the pleasure Mason takes watching his victims suffer and be fed to his pigs is obvious.
15:11Why just the shoes? Where are the bodies?
15:13I don't think there's gonna be any bodies, guys.
15:15And the final reveal about just where all those bodies went
15:19is sure to make your stomach turn.

15:37Number 1. The Crematorium
15:39Watching frantic parents search for their abducted children is difficult enough.
15:43Watching what happens to them, though, is almost too much.
15:46Lindsay! Lindsay! Lindsay!
15:48Lindsay, has anyone seen my daughter?
15:51For nearly a decade,
15:52this morbid couple has been abducting kids from crowded public spaces
15:55and disposing of their victims via the crematorium at their funeral home.
15:59Between the visceral shots of heartbroken and worried parents
16:02and the disturbed individuals committing the crimes,
16:05audiences are hard-pressed to keep their eyes on the screen.
16:08It's only for a second, but she's always been the one that I'm worried about.
16:13You can't blame yourself.
16:14The heartbreaking finale of this episode taps into the viewer's sense of empathy
16:18and undoubtedly leaves everyone feeling a little emptier after the TV is turned off.
