      Owen from “Elephant’s Memory.” Perhaps Morgan’s character says it best: “You know, we forget half of what they teach us in school, but when it comes to the torment and the people who inflicted it, we've all got an elephant's memory.“ Good Lord, how true.

      Imo, also the character played by Frankie Muniz, that Johnny guy. He was traumatized by seeing the murder of his pregnant fiance, so he lost his lover and their unborn child. He wasn't trying to kill random people or even those he wrongly blamed for something, but rather the gangsters that murdered her and nearly killed him. And then he didn't even realize he was doing it or that she was gone. And then in the end he was so broken he just kept calling her phone to hear her voice on her voice mail.

    Johnny McHale was the worst one for me. So happy one minute, then this gang attacks him and his pregnant girlfriend. The way they told him "you're going to enjoy this" as they forced him to watch as they gang-raped and then killed her. It was heart-breaking and chilling. If I recall he only killed the guys who actually killed his girlfriend. So its difficult not to empathize. Who wouldn't want to do the same?

      @@racheljackson4428 Yeah, it was particularly heartbreaking because he was incredibly close with his mom and dad, but he tortured them for information (that they obviously didn’t have), and repeatedly shot them. He was a former Navy Seal who ended up getting Capgras due to a minor car accident (he bumped his head on the steering wheel), and that minor event caused a sort-of brain re-wiring. He could hear someone’s voice, which he registered as normal, but upon seeing them, he thought they had been replaced. Because of his military background, he was INCREDIBLY skilled at going unnoticed, and he wanted to get to his ex-wife and daughter to ensure their safety. However, if he actually SAW them, he would have killed them, too. He thought he was being tricked or punished for a prior mission.
      The only option was to tie a scarf around his eyes and handcuff him to bring him in safely, but at the last moment…well, I won’t spoil it for you 😊

    2. Steven Fitzgerald. He was also repressing his sexuality because of his father. He would start to imitate his victims because he wanted to become somebody else as he saw himself as dirty and disgusting.
    3. Adam Jackson. Abused by his stepfather, he developed a split personality that wanted to protect him and started out attacking guys like the stepfather. In the end the alternate forces him out and takes over.
    4. Owen Savage. A teenager that had been abused by his dad after his mother's death, and who was bullied and harassed in school. He mostly targeted his bullies.
    5. Norman Hill. A seemingly normal middle age man, srinagar emasculated by a dominating wife. He snapped after witnessing the accidental death of his youngest daughter. He killed the rest of his family at some point and road rage injured and killed others before he was caught. And similar to the graphic artist he was under the belief his family were still alive and forced on the run with him in the car.
    6. The Fisher King. He really did what he did because of his daughter being taken from him and then he believed she was dead and was trying to rescue a girl that looked like her.
    7. Dr. Ted Bryar. Suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had an attack while on a train that Elle was on. He thought (courtesy of a delusion named Leo that was giving him the idea) that he was being tracked and spied on by the government with an implant in his arm, to the point that Reid had to fake taking a microchip out of him.

      He went into the system where he was further abused (if I remember correctly) developed a psychotic condition, seeked help and therapy even as an adult but because of a “misguided” doctor’s recommendation to go off the meds to help him remember who he is, he hallucinated and killed anyone who he thought was a threat.

    Second note: Another one that comes to mind that there is no footage for (because it’s a book) is “Finishing School”: a woman kidnaps girls, and kills them when they reach their period because she was abused by her father as soon as she reached hers.

    One unsub who I felt a great deal of compassion and sympathy for was Lucas Turner. Even though Lucas didn't necessarily have a tragic backstory and did in fact kill 89 people, he had autism so severe that he didn't even realize that he was killing people and was only doing what his psychopathic quadriplegic brother Mason told him to do, so it's impossible not to feel bad for the poor guy.

    • @amandaclbn8324
      @amandaclbn8324 6 месяцев назад +1

      I think his backstory actually is tragic. Didn’t have a mom (or died young I don’t remember)
      The way they described their father sounds like he used to bully him for his mental condition, presumably he was bullied by his community (based on his reaction to Kelly calling him a freak I think this must’ve been something he was called a lot by everyone), his only “friend” was his psycho of a brother.
      He was always going to be an outcast due to his disability and size but if he’d grown up in a different loving family he never would’ve ended up being a serial killer.

      @amandaclbn8324 6 месяцев назад

      Compare that to the unsub in the case that haunted Rossi (that used to send gifts to the survivors every year to apologise) Who was also mentally challenged and abnormally big who actually did kill a family. He had a chance, his parents just chose to cover it up for him
      Lucas never had one

    The first one I thought of was number 1. There is an episode involving a hit man for the mob that is actually a sadistic sereal killer. After he is caught he tells Hutch about his abusive father and Hutch reveals that the man could have gone in a different direction and try to help people instead of hurting them. The implication was that the Agent also suffered from an abusive home life and thats why he choose police work.

    The one I cried about was the one about the lady who was on death row, because she was found guilty of the murders of 12 teenaged girls and also the death of her toddler son, but she didn't do any of the murders, and her son was still alive because she managed to get him away safely. it was the guy who she was dating at the time who was the actual serial murderer and also on death row too.
    The BAU found out she was innocent and even tried to talk her in to being released from prison and reuniting with her now teenaged son.
    But she chose to die instead and refused to see her son because she didn't want to uproot his life and hurt him.

Like, would they have normal lives and jobs and never become what they are on the show? Imagine if they did an episode where one of the team members was in a coma and while in that coma, sees what theses unsubs lives would be like if they didn't become unsubs.

    #7- OMG YES!😭 I actually commented about that entire episode in the video for your “Top 20 saddest Criminal Minds episodes” and the comment has SO MANY UPVOTES! I’m very surprised that episode didn’t make that list because DAMN IT’S SO DEVASTATING! If there’s ever another video tackling sad episodes that should definitely be in the top 5. Personally I think the saddest Criminal Minds is “Derek” but there’s a biased reasoning for that. Morgan was my favorite character and seeing him be tortured the way he was and getting to know how rough of a life he had, it’s just too much for me. I knew about him being molested by a camp counselor at age 15, but in the episode “Derek” I also learned that when Morgan was 10 he saw his dad get shot and killed by a person he was trying to arrest. After Derek left the show I did continue to watch until I think mid season 14. The show was never really the same to me after he left though.

But then, as months went by, he felt unwanted and disrespected by his two other daughters as well as emasculated by his wife. His world began to fall apart and he became deluded, believing that everyone around him is secretly blaming him for causing his daughter’s death. As a result, he became The Road Warrior and started killing people who triggers his rage.
