After all, the last time she worked for him, she came home one day to find a dead husband. By the second episode, Sam is convinced to return to the FBI, but only if Bailey will get her a secure place to live. Using FBI profiling techniques and her own intuition and insight, Sam helps solve the murder. In some ways, this mirror's Red Dragon, in that a mentally damaged agent is brought back to work to help solve a case.
Profiler season 1 episode 22 series#
A series of unsolved murders brings her former boss Bailey Malone (Robert Davi) looking for Sam, asking for help.
All that did was send Sam into hiding with her daughter Chloe at her best friend's rural home. Jack was enjoying a cat and mouse game with her, but he never intended to kill her because, as her boss explains to another cop, "the world is a more interesting place with her in it." Sound familiar? When he felt Sam was ignoring him, Jack decided to get her attention by killing her husband. She had been on the case of a brilliant murderer nicknamed Jack of All Trades. Samantha Waters, a retired FBI criminal profiler. They didn't do any more than was really necessary. The first season is out now as a six-disc package, minus one episode due to legalities. For fans of the show, it's now available on DVD. Not just a female lead in an ensemble like Star Trek: Voyager, but with the woman as the focus of the show. Yes, Profiler owes a debt of gratitude to The Silence of the Lambs, but it also stands on its own as a unique show, and one of the few built around a female lead. Never a huge ratings draw but good enough to keep going from one season to the next, the show was eventually cancelled. The writing went into the toilet and the show started to get a little stupid. The show ran for three-and-a-half seasons before flaming out, losing its star (Ally Walker) and then her replacement (Jamie Luner). When it hit the airways in 1996, Profiler was able to operate without too much TSotL comparison and stand on its own, although it did have to deal with comparisons to Fox's Millennium. So it was probably a good idea that ex- NYPD Blue writer Cynthia Saunders held of for a few years on her show about FBI criminal profilers and let the phenomenon die down.
Profiler season 1 episode 22 movie#
Still, I wonder how many people enamored by the movie actually made it to Quantico and found out that the sign in TSotL that reads "Pain… Agony… Hurt… Love-It" is real and the FBI trainers mean it. Luckily for them the new pop culture wheel turned and people forgot about criminal profiling. They were flooded with applicants who wanted to be "the next Clarice Starling." There were several interviews with agents bitching about how their very ugly line of work had been glamorized, simplified and turned into something on the order of a pop culture phenomenon. You can't imagine how much the FBI hated The Silence of the Lambs after it came out.
