*SomberBackstoryRevelation: A rather awkward execution of the trope. While trying to convince the [=UnSub=] to start talking about his past, Rossi attempts to bond with the guy by sharing a shameful moment from his own school years. When he joined a group of bullies in order to avoid being bullied by them. Rossi tells it in a somber mood, but the [=UnSub=] uses it to shame him and mock him. The only thing the revelation accomplished is to have Rossi feeling guilty.
