Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 10, Episode 14 - Hero Worship - full transcript

Morgan: PREVIOUSLY
ON "CRIMINAL MINDS"...

Hotch: IT'S GIDEON.

Morgan: DID HE SUFFER?

M.E.: NOT FOR LONG, NO.

DID YOU HEAR ANY OF THAT?

I'D JUST REALLY LIKE TO PLAY
ONE MORE GAME OF CHESS WITH HIM.

YEAH.

BUT TIME WILL PASS
AND SLOWLY YOU'LL FORGET

HOW MUCH IT HURTS.
THEN MAYBE YOU'LL FIND
SOMETHING ELSE

TO FILL THAT EMPTY SPACE.

I DON'T WANT TO FIND
SOMETHING ELSE.



REID.

WHAT, ARE YOU
WORKING LATE?

JUST, UH, WAITING
FOR RUSH HOUR TO SUBSIDE.

A LOT OF CLOSE PERSONAL
CONTACT ON THE SUBWAY
RIGHT NOW.

IT'S 10:00. THE TRAINS
HAVE BEEN EMPTY FOR A WHILE.

GO HOME.

THE CHESS WILL KEEP
TILL TOMORROW.

YEAH. PROBABLY JUST
GONNA PACK IT UP RIGHT NOW.

GOOD NIGHT, SPENCER.

GOOD NIGHT.

♪ AND IT'S BEEN 4 DAYS
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE... ♪

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

TRIPLE STUFFED OMELET,
HOLD THE ONIONS.

YEAH, THANK YOU.



HUEVOS RANCHEROS.

I ORDERED
A BELGIAN WAFFLE.

OH, RIGHT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.

[BELL JINGLES]

ONE SEC.

EXCUSE ME, I'M JUST
WAITING FOR A CREAM.

I WILL GRAB IT FOR YOU
RIGHT NOW, MA'AM.

[BELL DINGS]

I GOT TWO ORDERS UP.
YOU GONNA SERVE 'EM
OR WHAT?

ARE YOU GONNA GET
THE ORDER RIGHT, OR WHAT?

I DIDN'T KNOW BELGIUM
WAS IN MEXICO.

WELL, WHO CAN READ
YOUR HANDWRITING, ANYWAY?

ORDER UP.

UH, THE CREAM?

RIGHT. JUST A SEC.

JUST LET HIM GET
USED TO IT.
I CAN SEE IT ALL NOW--

BREAKFAST BURRITO
FOR YOU,

OMELET FOR YOU.

I ASKED FOR CHIVES.

YOU TWO HAVE A CHANCE
TO LOOK AT THE MENU,

OR DO YOU NEED
A FEW MORE MINUTES?

NO, WE COME HERE
ALL THE TIME.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
THAT'S GLUTEN FREE?

THEY DON'T HAVE
GLUTEN FREE.

IT'S WORTH ASKING.

COULD WE GET SOME CHIVES?
CAN YOU CHECK ON
MY ORDER, PLEASE?

WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME
HAVE A CONVERSATION
WITH THE WAITER?

ORDER UP!
DO YOU HAVE ANY HOT SAUCE?

EGGS ARE RUNNY.

[OVERLAPPING VOICES]

[EXPLOSION]

[SCREAMING AND CRYING]

[SIRENS, HORNS HONKING]

HELP!

AN EXPLOSION HAPPENED
AT A BEANERY BREW HOUSE

IN INDIANAPOLIS
EARLIER THIS MORNING.

FIRST RESPONDERS ARE REPORTING
6 DEATHS, 16 WOUNDED.

BRAVE GUY.

ANYONE CLAIMED
RESPONSIBILITY?

NOT YET.

NO, BUT INDIANAPOLIS P.D.
BELIEVES IT MAY BE RELATED

TO A BOMB THAT WENT OFF
IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
LAST WEEK.

YEAH. THAT WAS
RELATIVELY LOW YIELD.

IT CLAIMED THE LIFE
OF MORTON TRUBY.

HE WAS A CUSTODIAN
WORKING GRAVEYARD SHIFT.

AUTHORITIES
FOUND TRACES OF TNT.

UNTIL TODAY THEY THOUGHT
IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

COULD THIS BE ANOTHER
BOSTON OR OKLAHOMA CITY?

BEANERY IS A POPULAR CHAIN.
EXACTLY THE TYPE OF LOCATION

A DOMESTIC TERRORIST
WOULD TARGET.

AND WE ALSO SHOULDN'T RULE OUT
A DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
OR FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS.

AT THIS POINT WE CAN'T
RULE ANYTHING OUT.
LET'S MOVE.

TNT DOESN'T PACK
MUCH BANG FOR ITS BUCK.

IT'D BE PRETTY HARD
TO HIDE THE AMOUNT NEEDED

TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE
TO THAT COFFEE HOUSE.

THIS FEELS LIKE PAGE 118.

"THE ANARCHIST COOKBOOK."

"TNT FOR DUMMIES."

THE BLAST AT THE SCHOOL
SEEMS RUDIMENTARY.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN
THE UNSUB'S TESTING GROUND.

THE COFFEE HOUSE COULD INDICATE
A DRASTIC ESCALATION.

THE BOOK ALSO TEACHES YOU
TO MAKE NITROGLYCERIN,

AND A COFFEE SHOP
COULD REPRESENT
A STEEP LEARNING CURVE.

SO THIS GUY IS EITHER
QUICK ON HIS FEET

OR BOTH BLASTS WERE PART
OF A SOPHISTICATED PLAN.

IN THAT CASE,
WE CAN'T BE CERTAIN

THAT THE COFFEE HOUSE
IS THIS GUY'S FINALE.

YEAH. WHICH IS WHY
THE PLANE'S BEEN READY.

WE CAN BE IN INDIANAPOLIS
IN TWO HOURS.

Reid: "THE MOST HEROIC WORD
IN ALL LANGUAGES

IS REVOLUTION."

EUGENE DEBBS.

THIS IS INTERESTING.
THE MAINTENANCE WORKER

KILLED AT THE SCHOOL
WAS WORKING LATE

INSTALLING A NEW
CIRCUIT PANEL.

SO THE UNSUB
MAY NOT HAVE INTENDED
TO KILL ANYONE.

AND IF HE CANVASSED
THE SITE BEFOREHAND,

HE WOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED
THE SCHOOL BEING EMPTY.

EXACTLY.

BUT WITH THE COFFEE HOUSE,

HE STRUCK FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING,
WHEN IT WOULD BE PACKED.

MAXIMIZING
COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

I DON'T LIKE IT.
THAT'S A PRETTY FAST
CONFIDENCE BOOST.

SUCCESSFUL BOMBERS
ALWAYS HAVE A PRACTICE RUN.
MAYBE THE SCHOOL WAS HIS.

MOST BOMBERS LIKE
THE ATTENTION THEY GET
FROM PLAYING GOD.

THEY DON'T GO DORMANT,
THEY STRIKE AGAIN.

SO WILL THIS GUY.

NO ONE'S CLAIMED
RESPONSIBILITY
FOR EITHER ATTACK.

THAT COULD POINT AWAY
FROM A FUNDAMENTALIST

OR A FEAR DRIVEN OFFENDER.

MAYBE IT'S PERSONAL.

WE'LL RELY ON
DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

VICTIMS, WITNESSES,
AND BALLISTICS.

SEE IF WE CAN FIND
A PATTERN SO WE CAN
PREVENT A THIRD ATTACK.

[INDISTINCT P.A.]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

UH-UH.
EXCUSE ME,
HAVE YOU SEEN AGENT--

PLEASE, CAN YOU HELP ME?
I CAN'T FIND MY DAD.

OF COURSE.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?

PAT. PAT AGUILAR.

WE WERE TOGETHER
AT THE COFFEE HOUSE.

OK, I'LL SEE IF I CAN
FIND ANYTHING OUT FOR YOU.

PLEASE! I NEED TO KNOW.

WHERE WAS YOUR FATHER
WHEN THE BOMB WENT OFF?

HE HAD TO GO
TO THE BATHROOM,

BUT HE LET SOME PREGNANT
LADY IN FIRST.

PLEASE, NO ONE'S TELLING ME.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN
FIND OUT, OK? EXCUSE ME.

Hotch: REID.

HE CAN'T FIND HIS FATHER.

THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE
STILL IN SURGERY.

MAYBE WE SHOULD CONSIDER
COGNITIVE INTERVIEWS.

WITNESS ACCOUNTS
ARE VARIED, WHICH
IS TO BE EXPECTED.

WHEN PEOPLE ARE MORE
EMOTIONALLY READY,
IT'LL BE A GOOD IDEA.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE PREGNANT
WOMAN ANYWHERE?

YEAH, SHE'S STILL
IN THE DELIVERY ROOM.

WE SHOULD TALK TO THE GUY
WHO RESCUED HER.

HE MAY HAVE SEEN SOMETHING
THE OTHERS DIDN'T.

JJ AND KATE
ARE ON THEIR WAY
TO HIS HOUSE NOW.

ARE YOU GONNA BE OK?
I NEED TO SEE THE M.E.

I'M FINE. THANKS.
EXCUSE ME, DO YOU KNOW

IF YOU HAVE A PATIENT
NAMED PAT AGUILAR?

I'M JUST ABOUT TO NOTIFY
THE FAMILY, SIR.

HE DIDN'T MAKE IT.

I KNOW. I'M SO SORRY.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE MEDIA
IS SCRAMBLING
FOR A SOUND BITE

FROM THEIR LOCAL HERO.

ANYBODY WITH HALF
A RIGHT MIND WOULD HAVE
DONE THE SAME THING.

BUT THEY DIDN'T.
YOU DID.

HOW'S THE MOTHER?

SHE WENT INTO LABOR.

IT'S A BOY.

WAS THIS
A TERRORIST ATTACK?

I DON'T THINK WE'RE
CLASSIFYING IT
AS TERRORISM JUST YET.

SO DID YOU NOTICE
ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS
WHEN YOU RAN INSIDE?

ANYONE THAT DIDN'T
SEEM PANICKED?

NO. NO,
NOTHING LIKE THAT.

DID YOU SEE WHERE
THE BLAST CAME FROM?

UM, THERE WERE TWO,

I GUESS.

WHEN I RAN IN THERE,
THERE WAS ONLY A SMALL FIRE.

BUT THEN THE BACK WALL
JUST EXPLODED.

WHO'S THE MAN
IN THE PHOTOS?

UH, MY FIRST HUSBAND,
GRANT.

HE WAS A NAVY SEAL.
HE DIED IN AFGHANISTAN.

AND YOU ALL WERE FRIENDS?

YEAH. ALLEN INTRODUCED US.

IT'S, UH, IT'S ALMOST 3:00.

I HAVE TO PICK UP HANNAH.

YEAH.

IT'S OUR DAUGHTER.

I'LL, UH,
I'LL GO WITH YOU.

THAT WAY YOU DON'T
HAVE TO FEND OFF
THE REPORTERS ALONE.

OH, I THINK WE CAN
HELP YOU THERE.

[DOOR OPENS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'M SSA JENNIFER JAREAU,

I'D LIKE TO MAKE
A STATEMENT ON BEHALF
OF THE ARCHER FAMILY.

ALLEN ARCHER DID WHAT
ANYONE IN HIS PLACE
WOULD HAVE DONE.

ALLEN SAVED A WOMAN,
AND IN DOING SO,

SAVED HER CHILD,
WHO I AM HAPPY TO REPORT

WAS BORN
LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO.

MOTHER AND CHILD
ARE DOING FINE,

AS IS ALLEN AND HIS WIFE.

BUT THEY ARE
UNDERSTANDABLY SHAKEN.

THE ARCHER FAMILY ASKS THAT
YOU PLEASE GIVE THEM PRIVACY

[ENGINE REVS]
AS THEY DEAL WITH
TODAY'S TRAGIC EVENTS.

WAIT! THAT'S THE FAMILY.
THEY'RE LEAVING!

SORRY, GUYS, GUESS YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO CAPITALIZE

ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S
TRAUMA TODAY.

THANK YOU.

THE GUY PLANTED THE DEVICE
IN THE BATHROOM.

"LETHAL WEAPON" STYLE.

WHAT TYPE OF EXPLOSIVE
DID HE USE?

TNT. SAME AS THE SCHOOL.

THE WIRING'S KIND OF SKETCH.

Rossi: HOW DO YOU MEAN?

THE SOLDERING WORK,
IT'S NOT THE BEST.

MAYBE HE WAS HESITANT
ABOUT KILLING SO MANY PEOPLE.

OR NERVOUS. YOU'D NEED
A LOT MORE TNT TO DO
THIS KIND OF DAMAGE.

YOU WOULD THINK,
BUT...

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

RIGHT HERE.

BECAUSE HE PUT
THE BOMB IN THE TOILET,

THE BLAST IS PRETTY WELL
CONTAINED, OR AT LEAST
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

BUT THE EXPLOSION
SHOT BACK, RUPTURING
THE NATURAL GAS LINE.

THE QUESTION IS,
WAS IT COINCIDENTAL
OR INTENTIONAL?

HE'S STILL A BAD DUDE,
EITHER WAY.

YEAH, BUT THE ANSWER
WILL WEIGH HEAVILY
ON OUR PROFILE.

HOW SO?

WELL, IF THE GAS LINE
RUPTURE WAS AN ACCIDENT,

THE UNSUB'S MOTIVE
MAY NOT BE TO KILL.

SO LEARNING HE CLAIMED
SO MANY LIVES
COULD UNRAVEL HIM,

MAKE HIM
EVEN MORE DANGEROUS.

EXACTLY.

BUT IF THE GAS LINE
WAS PLANNED,

THEN THIS UNSUB'S
LEARNING CURVE

IS SOMETHING TO BE
RECKONED WITH.

HE MIGHT TRY
TO OUTDO HIMSELF.

NEITHER OF THOSE ARE
PARTICULARLY GOOD OPTIONS.

WELL, WHAT'S GOOD IS
WE CAN RULE OUT TERRORISM.

WHAT'S BAD IS WE HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA
WHO THIS GUY IS.

I'M RUNNING
A TRACE ANALYSIS

TO DETERMINE
THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TNT.

I WILL DOWNLOAD YOU ASAP.

THANK YOU.

UM, EINSTEIN, HUH?

HEH. BET YOU DON'T
EVER FORGET IT.

YOU'RE KIND OF YOUNG
TO BE A FORENSIC
SPECIALIST, AREN'T YOU?

FINISHED MEDICAL SCHOOL
AT 19 AND THEN RESIDENCY
AFTERWARDS.

MY DAD REALLY WANTED ME
TO LIVE UP TO THE FAMILY NAME.

[INDISTINCT TV IN BACKGROUND]

AGAIN?

UH--IT HELPS ME FOCUS.

YOU KNOW, IN LIGHT
OF RECENT EVENTS,

I THINK IT'S OK
TO GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.

AN ENTIRE NIGHT, THOUGH.

YOU'RE WEARING THE SAME
SHIRT FROM YESTERDAY,

AND YOU'RE COVERING IT
WITH A CARDIGAN
FROM YOUR GO BAG.

GUESS I MUST HAVE GOTTEN
A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY
LAST NIGHT.

WELL, IT HAPPENS.

TV: ...LEAVING 7 PEOPLE DEAD
AND COUNTLESS OTHERS INJURED.

BUT IN THE WAKE OF HORROR,
CAME TO STORY OF...

SO, UH, WHAT DRIVES
MOST BOMBERS?

EGO, CRAVES ATTENTION.

ALLEN ARCHER...

SO HE HAS TO SHARE
HIS HEADLINES.

HE'S NOT GONNA
BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

HE MIGHT TRY
TO RECLAIM THAT ATTENTION.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT
IS TO STRIKE AGAIN,

SOMEWHERE HE CAN ENSURE
A HIGHER BODY COUNT.

OR A PERSONAL ONE.

YOU WERE SO BRAVE TODAY.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
I RAN BACK INTO
THE FIRE LIKE THAT.

WELL, YOU HEARD WHAT
THOSE TWO AGENTS SAID.

YOU'RE A HERO.

YOU SAVED TWO LIVES.

WHEN THE SECOND BLAST HIT,

I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS IT.

THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU
AND HANNAH AGAIN.

OHH...

[DOOR OPENS]

[CHUCKLES]

HEY, SWEETIE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP?

I HEARD NOISES.

I THOUGHT SOMEONE
WAS IN THE HOUSE.

OH, HONEY, IT'S JUST US.
COME HERE.

HEY, DID YOU KNOW
THAT ALLEN

SAVED A WOMAN AND A BABY
FROM A FIRE TODAY?

REALLY?

REALLY.

COOL.

[CHUCKLES]

I THINK
IT'S PRETTY COOL, TOO.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

OH, SWEETIE, I THINK IT'S TIME
WE GET YOU BACK TO BED, OK?

I PROMISE YOU EVERYTHING
IS FINE, FINE, FINE.

OK, COME ON.

GOOD NIGHT, ALLEN.

GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART.

HEY, BABE.

I'M GONNA RUN
TO THE STORE.

OK.

OK. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Radio: WITH THE DEATH TOLL
RISING TO 7
EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON,

INDIANAPOLIS P.D.
HAS RELEASED THE NAMES
OF THOSE DECEASED,

INCLUDING PAT AGUILAR, 65,

GRACE KELVER, 19,
JOE GARDEZ, 27,

SCOTT LAKER, 11,

JACKSON NOVERT, 21.

RYAN BATSON, 46,

AND BREE [INDISTINCT], 32.

FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
REMAIN BAFFLED

AS TO THE PERPETRATORS--

[ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER]

OH, MY GOD.

AAH...

YOU GOTTA GO, BABY.
YOU GOTTA GO, PLEASE.

TAKE HANNAH
AND YOU GET AWAY FROM ME.

FAR AWAY FROM ME,
YOU HEAR ME?

TAKE HANNAH AND GO!
BRENDA, PLEASE!

YOU GOTTA GET OUT
OF HERE, BABY.

MA'AM, YOU NEED TO GET
YOUR DAUGHTER OUT OF HERE.

MA'AM, YOU NEED TO GET
YOUR DAUGHTER OUT OF HERE.

I'M SORRY, BUT YOU HAVE TO.
NO, I'M NOT LEAVING ALLEN.

THIS IS FOR YOU AND
YOUR DAUGHTER'S SAFETY.
PLEASE TRUST US.

YOU GET AWAY FROM HERE, OK?

GET OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!

PLEASE HELP HIM.

WE WILL.

OK? ALL RIGHT.

I COULD GIVE YOU STATISTICS,
BUT I DON'T THINK
THIS IS THE TIME.

ARE WE REALLY GONNA DO THIS?

TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF.

Reid: NITROGLYCERIN.

NO, NO, NO.
STAY BACK. STAY BACK!

STAY BACK. I DON'T WANT
ANYBODY ELSE TO GET HURT.

STOP TALKING. JUST LISTEN.
JUST LISTEN TO ME.

WE'RE WITH THE FBI
AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP.

WHEN YOU PUT
YOUR FOOT DOWN,

YOU TRIGGERED
THE ARMING MECHANISM.

NOW, IF YOU MOVE,

YOU COULD SET IT OFF.

WHERE ARE BRENDA AND HANNAH?
ARE THEY OK?

I DON'T WANT THEM
TO DIE, TOO.
NOBODY'S GONNA DIE.

THEY'RE SAFE. DON'T WORRY.
BOMB SQUAD'S GONNA
BE HERE SOON.

I NEED YOU TO KEEP
THE EXACT PRESSURE THAT
YOU HAVE ON THAT BRAKE

AS YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU DON'T, ALL 3
OF US ARE GONNA DIE.

WELL, CAN YOU DO SOMETHING?

CAN YOU?

THIS THING'S HOMEMADE,

BUT THE FRAMEWORK
IS FAMILIAR.

YEAH. YEAH, I CAN
DISARM THIS.

I JUST NEED SOMETHING SHARP.

I'VE GOT A KNIFE
IN MY GLOVE BOX.

IT'S UNDERNEATH THE MAP.
RIGHT THERE.

SIR, JUST SIT STILL.
YOU'RE DOING FINE.

Allen: OK.
I'M GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF HERE.

HERE.

HEY, KID.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BACK UP.

NOT HAPPENING.

WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?

THE TRICK IS RENDERING
THE PRESSURE SENSOR INACTIVE

WITHOUT LETTING THE DETONATOR
THINK THAT IT'S TIME TO GO.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS,
THIS SON OF A BITCH BUILT
THIS THING BY HIMSELF

AND HE USED ALL THE SAME
COLOR WIRES.

7 WIRES AND YOU DON'T
KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUT?

I'M NOT SO CRAZY
ABOUT THESE ODDS.

IT'S GOTTA BE ONE OF
THESE TWO RIGHT HERE.

GUYS, YOU GOTTA DO
SOMETHING QUICK HERE, MAN.

MY FOOT IS CRAMPING UP.
I CANNOT KEEP MY FOOT
ON THE PEDAL--

SIR, PLEASE, PLEASE.
IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE,

I NEED YOU TO KEEP
THAT FOOT DOWN AND TRY
TO SIT STILL, PLEASE.

REID...

IT'S PROBABLY THIS WIRE
RIGHT HERE,

IF HE STAYED TRUE
TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN.

GO WITH YOUR GUT.

[EXHALES]

[SIREN APPROACHING]

Allen: WHAT? WELL?

SIR, YOU'RE FINE.
YOU CAN GET OUT
OF THE CAR.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
YOU DID IT? YOU DID IT?
I'M GONNA LIVE?

LET'S GET YOU
TO YOUR FAMILY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[SIREN]
THANK YOU.

YOU'VE GOT 4
NITROGLYCERIN PACKS.

NOW, I'VE DEFUSED IT,

BUT THE NITRO
IS HOMEMADE.

IT'S ALMOST GUARANTEED
TO BE UNSTABLE.

COPY THAT.

ROSSI WAS RIGHT.
THE UNSUB DOESN'T LIKE
SHARING ATTENTION.

SO HE'S DECIDED
TO ELIMINATE ALLEN ARCHER.

AND NOW HE'S GRADUATED
TO NITROGLYCERIN.

PAGE 113. WE SHOULD
PUT THE ARCHERS
IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY

ONCE THE BOMB SQUAD'S
DONE CLEARING THAT HOUSE,

I WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK
AT THAT DEVICE

AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING
ELSE WE CAN LEARN.

Hotch: WE BELIEVE THE MAN
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

IS AN EGO DRIVEN
PERSONAL CAUSE BOMBER.

IN OTHER WORDS,
HE NEEDS TO BE THE
CENTER OF ATTENTION.

JJ: THAT'S WHY
WE'RE ADVISING THAT
YOU KEEP THE LOCATION

FOR TONIGHT'S BOMBING
ATTEMPT CONFIDENTIAL.

IF THE UNSUB
SEES HEADLINES THAT
DON'T BELONG TO HIM,

WE BELIEVE
HE'LL BECOME ENRAGED.

HE SEEMS PRETTY
ANGRY NOW.

YES, HE WANTS US
TO PAY ATTENTION.

EVEN IF IT MEANS
TARGETING THE MAN

WHO'S DISRUPTING
HIS MESSAGE.

SO WHAT'S HIS MESSAGE?

LOOK AT ME.

FEAR ME.

I AM GOD.

HIS SOPHISTICATION LEVEL
PUTS HIM IN HIS 30s OR 40s.

TNT MAY BE EASY
TO PRODUCE,
BUT NITROGLYCERIN

IS MUCH HARDER TO HANDLE.
IT TOOK PATIENCE
AND AN EYE FOR DETAIL.

HE'S CONTROLLED
AND METHODICAL.

HE'S HIGHLY INTELLIGENT.

HE'LL ABSOLUTELY WANT
TO WITNESS HIS WORK,

SO WE NEED TO LOOK
AT TRAFFIC CAMS

AND EYEWITNESS FOOTAGE
OF THE BLAST.

HE COULD BE ON CAMERA.

WE SHOULD ALSO CANVASS
PUBLIC SPACES LIKE
OUTDOOR MALLS,

FARMERS MARKETS,
MONUMENT CIRCLE.

THE FACT THAT HE TARGETED
A SCHOOL AND A POPULAR
COFFEE CHAIN

MEANS HE WANTS
NO ONE TO FEEL SAFE.

IT'S INEVITABLE.
A BOMBER WITH A GOD COMPLEX
FEELS INVULNERABLE.

WE NEED TO APPEASE HIM
AND START COMMUNICATIONS
WITH HIM.

THAT'S HOW WE'LL CATCH HIM.
THANK YOU.

HE REALLY WENT FOR
A BIGGER BOOM THIS TIME.

Reid: I RECOGNIZE
THE MAKE-UP.
92% NITROGLYCERIN,

8% NITROCELLULOSE.

STRAIGHT OUT
OF THE COOKBOOK.

GOOD MEMORY.

I HAVE A THING FOR NUMBERS.

AND QUANTUM THEORY.

FUNNY. [LAUGHS]

THE UNSUB CERTAINLY
SINGLED ALLEN OUT.

HE COULD HAVE PLANTED
THE DEVICE IN HIS HOME,

BUT INSTEAD
HE CHOSE HIS TRUCK

BECAUSE HE WANTED TO ENSURE
THAT ALLEN WAS THE ONE
WHO TRIGGERED IT.

HE NEEDED TO MAKE
SURE THE HERO DIED.

KILL THE FAMILY
AND THEY BECOME MARTYRS.

WELL, IT'S A WONDER
HE EVEN REALIZED
THAT HE TRIGGERED THE BOMB.

MAYBE HE HEARD SOMETHING
WHEN HE STEPPED
ON THE PEDAL.

WHAT, AND KNEW NOT TO MOVE?
COME ON, WHAT'S THIS GUY GOT,

AN EX-PARAMILITARY BACKGROUND
WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?

BRENDA ARCHER'S FIRST
HUSBAND GRANT WAS MILITARY.

IS IT JUST ME,
OR DO YOU THINK
IT'S ODD THAT ALLEN

ENDED UP MARRYING
HIS BEST FRIEND'S WIFE?

I DON'T KNOW.
SHARED SORROW
COULD BUILD A BOND.

JJ AND KATE SAID
THE HOUSE WAS A SHRINE
TO THE DECEASED.

WELL, THAT WOULD EXPLAIN
WHY HE KEPT ALL
THIS STUFF OUT HERE.

HE FEELS LIKE HE'S LIVING
IN SOMEONE ELSE'S HOME.

THAT KIND OF MAN
WOULD BE DESPERATE
FOR RECOGNITION.

HE WAS CRYING.

THIS COULD BE WHY.

RELIVING TRAUMA
OR FEELING GUILTY
ABOUT SOMETHING.

AND HIS WIFE.
I THINK WE SHOULD ASK HIM.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS DO.
YOU JUST TALK A LOT.

WELL, THERE'S ALSO
A LOT OF KICKING DOWN
DOORS INVOLVED.

SURE. I'M HEADING BACK
TO THE LAB.

THANKS.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW
WHAT I FIND.

GARCIA, DID YOU FIND
ANYTHING IN BRENDA AND
ALLEN ARCHER'S BACKGROUND

TO INDICATE A KNOWLEDGE
OF EXPLOSIVES?

NOTHING THAT STICKS OUT.

BUT I AM THE QUEEN
OF LOTS OF THINGS,

INCLUDING SUBTLETY.

OH, SHUT UP. I'M TALKING
[INDISTINCT]...

DEFTLY SIFT THROUGH
INFORMATION STUFF.

HE'S A CARPENTER

WHO HAS A SEVERE
AMAZON ADDICTION.

KINDLE, TO BE SPECIFIC.

WHAT KIND OF BOOKS?

SELF-HELP.
A LOT OF EMO STUFF.

BUILD YOUR SELF-ESTEEM,
HOW TO GET OVER DEPRESSION.

COMING OUT OF YOUR SHELL.

A WHOLE BUNCH
OF COMIC BOOKS.

NOTHING "HOW TO BUILD
A BOMB" RELATED?

NO. SORRY.

OH, HE IS SEEING
A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR.

HMM. THINKS ARE NOT SO GOOD
ON THE HOMEFRONT.

THEY'VE CERTAINLY
IMPROVED NOW.

SHE WAS ALL OVER HIM
WHEN WE INTERVIEWED THEM.

SOMETHING TELLS ME
THAT'S NOT ORDINARY.

ALLEN IS LIVING
IN THE SHADOW
OF GRANT FORD.

MAYBE THE COFFEE SHOP
WAS HIS INTRODUCTION.

GARCIA, BRENDA'S FIRST
HUSBAND GRANT FORD
WAS A NAVY SEAL.

WHAT WAS HIS SPECIALTY?

OH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

GIVE ME A MOMENT.
IT WAS...

EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE.

HE RAN INTO THE COFFEE
SHOP MOMENTS BEFORE
THE SECONDARY BLAST

FROM THE RUPTURED
GAS LINE.

WELL, IT COULD HAVE
JUST BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

SO HIS WIFE IS A WITNESS,
ALLEN RACES INTO THE BLAZE

AND SAVES THE MOST
SYMPATHETIC PERSON
HE CAN THINK OF.

AND BECOMES A HERO
TO HIS WIFE.

HEY, REID.

[SIGHS]

YEAH, WE GOT HIM, HOTCH.

[DOOR OPENS]

HAVE A SEAT.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

SIT DOWN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

FIRST I'M IN
PROTECTIVE CUSTODY,

NOW I'M IN
AN INTERROGATION ROOM?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?

WE HEARD YOU HAD
A ROUGH NIGHT.

A ROUGH NIGHT.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?

THE STRESS CAN BE
UNBEARABLE.

WE CAN GET YOU SOME
WATER IF YOU WANT.

I WANT TO BE
WITH MY DAUGHTER.

WE ALMOST DIED LAST NIGHT.

IT'S INTERESTING
THAT YOU DIDN'T, THOUGH.

WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT IS?

MOST PEOPLE'S
FLIGHT INSTINCTS
WOULD TAKE OVER.

THEY'D FLEE,
SETTING OFF THE BOMB.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
WHAT TO DO?

UH, I DON'T KNOW.

I FELT SOMETHING CLICK.

WHAT CLICKED?
A REMOTE? A WIRE?

NO, THE HAIRS ON THE BACK
OF MY NECK WERE STANDING UP.

AND I LOOKED DOWN
AND I SAW SOMETHING.

IT--I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT,

BUT I THOUGHT THE BOMBER
MIGHT BE COMING AFTER ME

AND I FROZE. I FROZE.

"I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT."

WHAT?

THAT WAS THE LIE, ALLEN.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOOD
AT HIDING IT.

AND YOU LOOKED OVER MY
SHOULDER WHEN YOU DID.

SO BECAUSE I NEED
A GLASS OF WATER,
I'M GUILTY?

IF YOU'RE NOT GUILTY,
THEN WHY DID YOU HIDE
GRANT'S BOOKS?

HE'S NOT EVEN
DENYING IT.

I AM DENYING IT.

NOT THAT I HAD THE BOOKS,
THAT I DID ANYTHING.

HE PULLED OUT THE BOOKS

AFTER THE EXPLOSION.

HE SAID HE...
WANTED TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT NEARLY KILLED HIM.

WHO PROMPTED
THAT CONVERSATION?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

DID HE SHOW YOU THE BOOKS
AND EXPLAIN THEM,
OR DID YOU FIND THEM?

OH, NO, I FOUND THEM
AND ASKED ABOUT IT.

WHAT?

WELL, WHY DID ALLEN
HIDE THE BOOKS

NO, HE ASKED ME
TO HIDE THE BOOKS,

BECAUSE...

HE WANT THERE
TO BE ANY CONFUSION

WHEN YOU CAME
TO INTERVIEW US.

TRUST YOUR GUT.
HAS ALLEN BEEN
ACTING ODD LATELY?

LOOK, HE'S BEEN WORKING
A LOT OF LATE NIGHTS.

THAT'S NOT WHAT
HIS WORK TOLD US.

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING ELSE
UNTIL I SEE MY HUSBAND.

WHY DID YOU HIDE YOUR
NIGHTTIME ACTIVITIES
FROM YOUR WIFE?

YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT WE THINK?

NOT REALLY, NO.

YOU LIVED IN GRANT'S SHADOW
FOR FAR TOO LONG.

YOU HAD A THING FOR
BRENDA, YOU SAW THAT
HE WAS INTERESTED,

AND YOU KNEW YOU DIDN'T
STAND A CHANCE.

HOW COULD YOU?
HE WAS A HERO.

AND YOU WATCHED THEM
FALL IN LOVE, GET MARRIED,
HAVE A DAUGHTER.

YOU WATCHED THEM LIVE
THE LIFE THAT YOU WANTED.

AND THEN HE DIED.

SO YOU WAITED.

YOU WAITED FOR THE
PERFECT OPPORTUNITY

TO PREY ON BRENDA'S
VULNERABILITY.

AND YOU THOUGHT IT WORKED.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

SHE NEVER LOVED YOU.

NO. THAT'S NOT TRUE.

SHE--SHE LOVES ME.

LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
YOU DON'T EVEN
BELIEVE IT.

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO?

I LOVE MY WIFE.

WE SAW EVIDENCE OF IT
WHEN YOU TRIED TO KEEP
GRANT'S DAUGHTER--

MY DAUGHTER.

AND BRENDA AWAY
FROM YOUR TRUCK.

BUT ANSWER THIS.
WHEN THE BOMB WENT OFF
AT THE COFFEE SHOP

AND YOU WERE DIRECTLY
ACROSS THE STREET,

WHY DID YOU
LEAVE HER THERE?

YOU WOULD ONLY DO THAT
IF YOU KNEW
SHE WASN'T IN DANGER.

BECAUSE YOU HAD
PLANTED THE BOMB.

BUT YOU DIDN'T PLAN ON
THE GAS LINE RUPTURING,

WHICH ACTUALLY
PUT HER IN DANGER,

YOU JUST WANTED
TO BE A HERO.

EXCEPT YOU'RE NOT
A HERO, ALLEN.

THEY WHY DID I
KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE?!

HUH?!

YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
WHY DID I KILL
ALL THOSE PEOPLE?

YES, IT WAS.
WELL, THAT WAS WAY TOO EASY.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
THAT ALLEN WOULD RISK
HURTING BRENDA.

REID SAID HE WAS
LEGITIMATELY SCARED
AT HIS HOUSE.

YOU CAN'T FAKE
FEAR LIKE THAT.

THE BOMB IN ARCHER'S TRUCK

WAS PLANTED
BY SOMEBODY ELSE.

A SECOND UNSUB.

DO YOU THINK ALLEN
PISSED OFF A PARTNER

WHO DECIDED
TO TAKE HIM OUT?

ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

WE KNOW YOU PLANTED THE BOMB
AT THE COFFEE SHOP

BUT YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE ONE AT YOUR HOUSE
LAST NIGHT. WHO DID?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

A PARTNER?

NO, I WORKED ALONE.

I'M NOT.
HE'S LYING.

WHY WOULD YOU PLANT A BOMB

THAT WOULD PUT YOUR WIFE
AND CHILD AT RISK?

YOU WOULDN'T.

SO YOU EITHER
HAD A PARTNER OR--

YOU HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE BLAST
AT THE SCHOOL.

YOU WOULDN'T. YOUR HOUSE
IS IN ANOTHER DISTRICT

AND THERE ARE SAFER
TESTING GROUNDS.

YOU HEARD ABOUT IT,
SO YOU DECIDED TO BUILD
A BOMB OF YOUR OWN

TO IMPRESS YOUR WIFE.

AND YOU KILLED 7 PEOPLE
IN THE PROCESS.

I NEVER MEANT
FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

OH, AND I'M SURE THAT'S
GONNA HELP THEIR FAMILIES
SLEEP MUCH BETTER AT NIGHT.

WHY LIE?

BECAUSE YOU WERE CAUGHT?

THE SELF-SACRIFICIAL
TYPE, HUH?

YOU TOOK CREDIT
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S WORK.

AND THE OTHER BOMBER HATES YOU
AND NOW HE WANTS TO OUTDO YOU.

Morgan:
ARCHER WAS A COPYCAT.

THE COFFEE SHOP BOMBING
CHANGES THE PROFILE.

ELIMINATE THE COFFEE SHOP,
WHAT DO WE HAVE?

AN UNSUB WHO SET TNT IN
A HIGH SCHOOL BOILER ROOM

AND NITROGLYCERIN IN
THE HOME OF THE MAN
WHO STOLE HIS HEADLINES.

IN A BOILER ROOM
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMPTY.

HE DIDN'T WANT
TO KILL ANYONE.

WELL, THAT CERTAINLY CHANGED
AT THE ARCHER HOUSE.

HE WENT FOR THE BIGGEST
BANG FOR HIS BUCK.

THE DEATH OF THE JANITOR
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

THAT'S THE BOMBING
WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
SOMEONE LEAKED
THE LOCATION

OF THE TRUCK BOMB
TO THE PRESS.

HEADLINES ARE ALL
ABOUT ALLEN AGAIN.

THE MEDIA'S CALLING
ON THE MAYOR TO GIVE HIM
THE KEY TO THE CITY.

OBVIOUSLY, THE MAYOR
ISN'T ABOUT TO DO THAT.

HE HAS TO.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN, AARON?

DO YOU WANT
TO BE A HERO?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DO YOU WANT TO BE
A REAL HERO, LIKE GRANT?

GOT A CHANCE FOR YOU
TO PROVE YOURSELF.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

BELIEVE ME, IF THERE
WERE ANY OTHER WAY,

WE WOULDN'T ASK.

I CAN'T SEE HIM AGAIN.

HE NEARLY KILLED ME
AND MY DAUGHTER.

I CAN'T LOSE HER, TOO.

WE WILL BE RIGHT THERE
TO BACK YOU UP.

NO, I'M NOT DOING IT.

YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO THAT.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT, I CAN'T.

ALL I CAN DO IS ASK YOU
TO TRUST US

AND TO HELP SAVE LIVES,

THE SAME WAY GRANT DID.

THAT IS NOT FAIR.

I KNOW IT'S NOT.

Rossi: I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU GOT THE MAYOR
TO DO THIS.

ONCE WE APPREHEND THIS GUY,
IT WILL ALL HAVE BEEN HIS IDEA.

AHH, NOW
IT MAKES SENSE.

THANK YOU FOR AGREEING
TO HELP US.

I JUST HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
OTHERWISE I'M GOING
TO LOOK BAD.

AND I'LL MAKE SURE
YOU DO, TOO.

AND NOW I REMEMBER WHY
I DIDN'T GO INTO POLITICS.

OKLAHOMA.

NEW YORK,

LANGLEY,

SHANKSVILLE,

BOSTON,

INDIANAPOLIS.

I NEVER WANTED OUR GREAT
CITY TO JOIN THAT LIST.

BUT THOSE WHO DO EVIL

FORCE US TO FACE OUR FEARS
AND OVERCOME THEM.

AND WE WILL OVERCOME.

BECAUSE OF MEN
LIKE ALLEN ARCHER,

MEN WILLING TO STAND UP
FOR WHAT IS RIGHT.

IT IS MY PROUD HONOR
TO DECLARE TODAY

ALLEN ARCHER DAY.

PLEASE JOIN ME
AS I SHOW ALLEN

A SIGN OF OUR APPRECIATION

FOR HIS HEROIC BRAVERY

IN THE FACE OF HOSTILITY

BY GIVING HIM A KEY
TO THE CIRCLE CITY.

[APPLAUSE]
ANYTHING?

NOTHING YET.

ALL CLEAR HERE.

Kate: SAME HERE.

ALLEN IS AN INSPIRATION.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]
ALL TOO OFTEN...

SOME EXCEEDINGLY CURIOUS
INFORMATION.

TWO WEEKS AGO, THERE WAS
A FIRE AT AN ETHANOL PLANT.

NOW, THERE WERE NO CASUALTIES,
BUT I FOUND A CONNECTION

BETWEEN THE ETHANOL PLANT
AND THE SCHOOL.

WHAT'S THE CONNECTION?

LAST MONTH A MEMBER
OF THE SCHOOL BOARD

WAS FIRED FOR HAVING SEX
WITH A STUDENT.

NOW, THE STUDENT WAS OVER 18,
SO NO CHARGES WERE FILED,

BUT THE MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL
BOARD VIOLATED HIS CONTRACT
LIKE MASSIVELY,

THE SEXY INDISCRETIONS
HAPPENED ON THE GROUNDS

OF THE ETHANOL PLANT.

WHO'S THE BOARD MEMBER?

JAMES BURKE.

PRETTY ACTIVE
IN THE COMMUNITY

UNTIL THE AFFAIR WENT PUBLIC.

THANK YOU.
I'M SENDING YOU HIS PHOTO NOW.

Mayor:
I SAY, HERE IS OUR SECRET.

SEE US...

BOGEY ON EAST FRANKLIN.

WE NEED TO SHUT THIS DOWN.

IPD, DON'T LET THAT VAN
BREECH THE PERIMETER.

Hotch: REID AND JJ,
GET THE ARCHERS TO SAFETY.

DAVE, YOU GET THE MAYOR.

WE ARE AMERICANS,

AND WE DEFY YOU.

PUT THE VAN IN PARK!

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
I SAID PUT IT IN PARK
OR I'M GONNA DO IT FOR YOU.

AND GET OUT OF THE CAR SLOWLY.
LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS.

SLOWLY.

OPEN THE DOOR.

BOTH OF THEM.

NOW BACK AWAY.
BACK AWAY.

THAT'S NOT HIM.

IT'S A BOMB!
BACK AWAY! BACK AWAY!

BACK AWAY!

[BEEPING]

WHAT THE HELL?

GET UP. GET UP.

WHO TOLD YOU
TO BRING THE VAN HERE?

SOME--SOME GUY.
HE PAID ME 200 BUCKS
TO DRIVE IT.

THIS GUY?

YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S HIM.

IT'S A DECOY.

GO TO YOUR SECONDARY
LOCATIONS. HE'S HERE
SOMEWHERE.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

THE BOMBER'S HERE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE.

EVACUATE THE AREA.

THIS IS ON YOU.

IT'S OVER, JAMES.

I'M THE ONE
WITH THE BOMB.

YES, YOU ARE.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA USE IT.

WHY IS THAT, THEN?

YOU'RE A NARCISSIST.
YOU'VE CRAVED POWER
YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

AND WHEN YOU LOST
THAT, YOU SNAPPED.

HOW COULD ALL THOSE PEOPLE
YOU CALL FRIENDS

TURN THEIR BACKS ON YOU?

YOU DIDN'T EVEN
DO ANYTHING WRONG, JAMES.

I DIDN'T.

SHE WAS 18.
IT'S NOT EVEN ILLEGAL.

HOW COULD THEY FIRE YOU
OVER THAT?

HOW COULD THEY RUIN YOUR LIFE?

SO YOU PLANTED A BOMB,

BURNED DOWN
ONE OF THE SCHOOLS

SO THE NEW BOARD
WOULD PANIC.

ONLY YOU ACCIDENTALLY
TOOK A LIFE.

AND THEN YOU REALIZED
THE ONLY WAY ANYONE
WOULD EVER NOTICE YOU

IS IF YOU KILLED AGAIN.

I SHOULD SET THIS OFF
AND TAKE YOU OUT WITH ME.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.

BECAUSE YOU
THINK YOU ARE GOD.

AND GODS DON'T DIE.

YOU WILL DIE IF YOU
DETONATE THAT, JAMES.

AND THEN YOU WILL NEVER
HAVE THE CHANCE TO TAKE CREDIT

FOR THE BOMBS YOU DID BUILD.

PUT DOWN THE BOMB

SO WE CAN TELL EVERYONE
WHAT YOU DID AND WHY.

LET'S GO.

WELL, THE FIRE AT THE ETHANOL
PLANT AND AT THE SCHOOL

BOTH HAPPENED
IN THE ELECTRICAL ROOMS.

I APOLOGIZE FOR EARLIER.

THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO ME

THAT YOU WOULD DO THIS.

I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU.

BRENDA.

I JUST WANTED
TO SAY THANK YOU.

I KNOW THIS WASN'T EASY,
AND WE COULDN'T HAVE
DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU.

BUT THE GOOD THING
ABOUT BEING A MOM,

YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE HER HERO.

MOMMY!

YOU EVER GONNA FINISH
THIS GAME?

IT'S A TOUGH ONE.

PLAYING YOURSELF
CAN BE DIFFICULT.

PLAYING A GHOST
EVEN MORE SO.

HE'S GONE, SPENCER.

KEEPING THE GAME GOING
WON'T CHANGE THAT.

I KNOW. I JUST THOUGHT

THAT MAYBE I COULD KEEP
PART OF HIM ALIVE

IF HIS LAST GAME
NEVER ENDED.

NEITHER SIDE WILL EVER WIN
PLAYING LIKE THIS.

HE HATED GOOD-BYES.

GIDEON ALSO HATED
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

SO...

LET'S FINISH IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MOVING MY ROOK.

DO YOU KNOW HOW
TO PLAY CHESS?

WHO DO YOU THINK GIDEON
PLAYED BEFORE HE MET YOU?

I'M PROBABLY GONNA
FINISH IT IN 5 MOVES.

CHECK.

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH,
SONNY BOY.
