Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 10, Episode 18 - Rock Creek Park - full transcript
When the wife of an increasingly prominent Congressman disappears, the BAU investigate and come to consider his adversaries and political enemies as potential suspects of the abduction, or possibly murder.
Yeah, I just had lunch
with my husband,
and I'm on my way home.
I have a lot to do
before the meeting tonight.
Of course I'll be there,
but I hope there's more on the
agenda than the charity ball.
I don't want to debate which
caterer to use for an hour.
I'd gladly vote for corn dogs
if it ends the meeting sooner.
See you tonight.
And that was the last
known sighting of Sophie Troy...
at 2:37 p.m.
On a surveillance video.
She was coming from having lunch
with her husband,
and she was going home
using the Congressional
underground tunnels.
Okay, so it's 3:00 a.m. Now.
She's been gone
a little over 12 hours.
That doesn't qualify
as a missing person, yet.
The director's personally
asked us to handle the case.
Her husband is
Congressman Benjamin Troy,
which makes her VIP.
The question is...
who's the real target?
Sophie or her husband?
I mean, is this an attempt
to influence him?
Well, the congressman isn't
very high profile.
It's his first term,
and he has views
which have made him unpopular
on both sides of the aisle.
Sophie's a health care lawyer
on the DC Museum board.
What was her schedule
after lunch? Do we know?
Yeah, she was gonna go home,
and then she had a foundation
meeting at 7:00.
She didn't make either.
And when she wasn't
home by 12:30,
the congressman called
family and friends
before contacting
capitol police at 1:45.
We were notified
a half an hour later.
Let's go back
to her last sighting.
Do we have
the surveillance footage
from the other side
of the stairwell?
Yeah, that would be
the Library of Congress lobby,
and there's no sign of her.
It's like she vanished
into thin air.
Guys, it is possible that she
just left of her own accord.
But we have to assume
it's a kidnapping,
unless proven otherwise.
Well, we know she was
on the phone
Before she disappeared.
We need to pull all of her
e-mail and cell phone records.
Congressman's here.
Have a seat, Congressman.
I've heard the statistics.
What do we have, 36 hours
or something to save her?
In a homicide, the first 48
hours are the most critical,
but in an abduction,
every minute counts.
Oh, God.
We don't know for sure
that there's been foul play.
No, no, no, I-I know my wife.
We just had our first
anniversary a... a week ago.
She wouldn't just leave me,
certainly not without getting
the last word in.
Is there anyone
who would want to hurt her?
No.
No, no, Sophie's
a wonderful sweet woman.
I, on the other hand, I'm not
very well liked in this town.
And who are your enemies?
Well, where do we begin?
We have the oil lobbies.
Uh, we have the NRA and PETA.
Yeah, I'm an equal
opportunity offender.
Plus, then there's
all the other oddballs
who call, write letters,
send e-mails.
Uh, my aides don't usually
show them to me, though.
We'll need to see those.
Yeah, I'll have
my office send them over.
And also let them know
that we're on
an information lockdown.
Our chances
of solving this are better
if the media doesn't
get wind of it.
You know, I understand
people being angry with me,
but to take it out
on my family, on Sophie...
Rest assured,
you're our priority.
Excuse me.
The tech analysis
from the video surveillance
came back.
The footage from
the Library of Congress
where there's no sign
of Sophie, it's an old video
on a continuous loop.
Someone hacked the system?
It's run by the Metro PD...
it's outdated.
It wouldn't take a lot
of brain power to get in.
I have just
received confirmation.
Authorities have been alerted
and are treating this
as a probable abduction.
Just to recap... Sophie Troy,
wife of Congressman
Benjamin Troy,
has been missing since
mid-afternoon yesterday.
At this time, authorities
have not said...
What's going on?
Who leaked this?
I don't know.
Hotch.
So the last call Sophie made was
to a lawyer on vacation.
This is her voice mail.
Hi, Tania. It's Sophie.
I know you're still out of town.
Who are you? What are you doing?
Stop. Let go of me.
Ripped By mstoll
"The truth is rarely pure
and never simple."
Oscar Wilde.
See that shadow on the wall?
It shifted as the sun went down,
but now it's back.
The video was on a six-hour loop
before it repeated
which is why no one
noticed it right away.
And so this was organized
and premeditated.
Okay, so even though
this isn't the real footage,
the lobby would have
been crowded
with tourists at the time.
How was she taken in broad
daylight from a public place?
Ironically, it may have been
easier to kidnap her in a crowd.
It's noisy, hard to see,
people are distracted.
If she was injected
with a sedative,
the kidnappers might just look
like friends or family
helping someone
who's feeling ill.
We'll set up a trace phone.
And I've already got agents
looking into terrorism
and organized crime connections.
I also need to know
on what committees you sit
and what pending bills might
be influenced by your vote.
Right, I'm on
the energy subcommittee.
There's a vote in two days
to ban fracking
on the Pacific coast.
Where do you stand on the issue?
I'm for the ban,
but I've been getting pressure
from the oil companies
to vote against it.
They're not the most subtle
people in the world.
Do you think maybe they have
something to do with this?
Well, just to be safe, I think
you and your family should stay
here in protective custody
until we get
a better handle on things.
Okay, it's, uh, just my brother
and my mother.
- They're in Georgetown.
- They live together?
Well, Paul just got out of rehab
a couple of months ago.
He's staying with her
till he gets back on his feet.
We'll arrange
to have them picked up.
Agent Anderson, will you please
show the congressman
- where he can stay?
- Sure.
Congressman, right this way.
So, uh, we confirmed
the congressman was
in his office all afternoon.
There was nothing unusual
about his behavior.
And he's responding
appropriately.
Yeah, Dave, what have you got?
We'll be right down.
Organized Crime may have
a lead on the case.
So who's the package?
Who cares?
Dyadya just said
it's someone important.
What's our piece
of the action?
Maybe five grand.
Which translates into, "He'll
call us; we just sit tight."
These are low-level guys.
Foot soldiers
in the Mikhalov Bratva,
A Russian crime-ring
that deals in illegal arms.
We intercepted a container
of Stinger missiles
about six months ago;
they were gonna ship to Syria.
Been trying to infiltrate
the ring since then,
figure out who
the major players are.
Where is the wiretap?
In their apartment.
Th-This recording is
from a week ago.
And you think
it's connected to Sophie Troy?
Well, here's what we know.
These low-level guys often
do freelance work
to pad their income.
You need somebody
for an unsavory job,
this is who you call.
- 1-800-THUG.
- Yeah, pretty much.
This kidnapping
they're talking about was
gonna go down around now.
Yeah, probably not
a coincidence.
According to Loker,
our agent on site,
they're still waiting
for Dyadya,
which means "uncle," to call.
Any idea who the uncle is?
Nah, we've been trying to
I.D. Him, but no luck so far.
I think we need to be on this.
You're welcome
to join us as long as
you don't jeopardize our case.
Understood.
Hi, um, I'm looking for Loker.
I'm Dorian Loker.
You must be from the BAU.
Uh, yeah, I'm Spencer...
I don't really shake h...
Great. So we're set up in here.
The apartment's directly
across the courtyard.
The guys just left
to get breakfast.
What do we know about them?
Roman Azarof and Taras Yudin
work at a trucking company
in Anacostia,
but really it's just a front
for the Russian Mob.
Roman's bad news.
He assaulted a shopkeeper
with a chain saw back in 2008.
Which one has the uncle that may
have kidnapped Sophie Troy?
Taras, and "uncle" is
a loose term.
As far as we know, Taras has
no blood relatives in the U.S.
He's only been here two years.
Could be any older figure
in this crime network.
Good.
There's a lot of down time
in surveillance.
I hope you brought
something to read.
Great Expectations.
You like Charles Dickens?
Believe it or not,
I haven't read him before.
Figured it was high time
to change that.
He's great... that moment
where Pip finally learns
that Estella was always groomed
to break men's hearts
always strikes...
Haven't gotten there, yet.
Oh, well...
I-I think you're
gonna like that part.
Terrific.
I'm gonna go put on
a fresh pot of coffee.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just...
I just wish I had walked
Sophie to the street after lunch
or called her a cab.
I could have stopped
this somehow.
A lot of families feel that way
after an abduction,
but in most cases,
it was an unforeseeable event.
My mother would say it happened
because I wasn't a gentleman.
Well, try not to, uh,
beat yourself up too much.
Where's my son?
Hey, how long do you
plan on holding us?
- Paul.
- Not to be rude,
but, you know, I got
a life of my own.
I got to be at the soup kitchen
in an hour to volunteer.
We're not holding you...
this is for your own safety,
so I highly recommend
that you stay.
And while you're here, you could
just really help us out a lot
by answering a few questions.
Oh, of course.
Anything you need, right, Paul?
Okay, uh, could you
tell me a little
about Sophie and Benjamin?
What's their relationship like?
Oh, with Sophie and Benjamin,
it's true love.
They met and got married
eight months later.
In his eyes,
she can do no wrong.
And one harsh word from her
would just destroy him.
And if you ask her
where they met, she'd say
it was in a garden under
a double rainbow with a unicorn.
Paul.
And, uh, what do you think
of their marriage?
I have no opinion.
It's between them and God.
God?
Paul found
a higher power in rehab.
He's finally free of his demons.
What was your relationship like
with Sophie?
It was fine.
Honestly, I barely know her.
- They told me you just got here.
- Oh, Benji.
It's so terrible.
Thanks for coming, bro.
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't miss it.
What's the layout
of their place?
Same as this one.
The satellite dish
outside the window
is actually one
of our parabolic mics.
They're back.
It's a woman.
It's their cleaning lady, Fana.
Lya-mi.
Yeah, she's speaking Yoruba.
It's a Western Nigerian dialect.
She's talking to her mother.
Did you get
the money that I sent?
Yes, we used it all
to buy rice.
Okay, I'll try to send more
when I can.
- I have to go.
- Fana...
What the hell?
Why you have the curtains open?
So I could clean
the windows.
But what did we told you?
Keep the damn curtains closed.
How hard is it to remember?
It won't happen again.
I have to go
and switch the laundry.
She's an idiot.
Hey, I just got
a text from Dyadya.
He says he'll need us soon.
We should be ready with a truck.
I'm gonna go down to the office.
You speak Yoruba?
I can get by.
This is really good coffee,
by the way.
Coffee's a language in itself.
Who said that?
Dickens?
Jackie Chan.
So the gun lobbyists were
dismissive of the congressman,
saying they don't waste
their time
with one-termers like Troy.
But anyway,
even if they were involved,
I highly doubt that
they would outsource the job
to the Russian Mob.
What about the oil companies?
Pretty slimy, pun intended,
but none of our sources say
they were involved.
Well, considering how much oil
comes out of Russia,
they are
the most likely candidates
- to have ties to the Mob.
- I'm interrupting, I know,
but, sir, there's a reporter
in the lobby.
She insists to speak to you.
She says she has critical
information about this case.
You must be SSA Aaron Hotchner.
And you're Madison Young.
I come bearing gifts.
What is that?
A ransom message I received
from the kidnappers
at my office.
If you want the flash drive,
I have a request.
You're interfering
with a criminal investigation.
I'd like an exclusive interview
with Congressman Troy.
I know he's here.
I'll leave that up to him.
My name is Sophie Troy.
If you...
If you want my safe return,
you will wire $20 million
to...
to the bank account number
at the end of this video.
Do not think to delay
p-payment.
It will only make it worse
for me.
Remember now,
$20 million by midnight or...
Oh, God.
$20 million by midnight
or I die.
Remember now, $20 million
by midnight or...
Oh, God.
$20 million by midnight
or I die.
The recording appears genuine.
Benji.
The wiring instructions
are to a bank
in Cyprus; it's a big tax haven
for the Russians.
Is there any reason why
the Russian Mob
would want to hurt you?
No.
Then someone hired them.
But who, exactly,
is the $20-million question.
It could be anyone.
What does it, what does it,
what does it matter now?
The important question is
where am I gonna get
that kind of money?
Well, let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
We have to stay rational.
Unless you can guarantee me
that you're gonna rescue my wife
by midnight,
- I'm not gonna risk losing her.
- Benji,
we don't have $20 million.
Yeah, I know that.
Who asks for that kind of money?
Someone who thinks people
like Benjamin have the power
to make anything happen.
They may have seen media reports
on your campaign war chest.
Didn't you get a hefty donation
last week?
What do you have now,
$50 million?
But that-that's not
my personal money.
- They don't understand that.
- We're dealing with someone
who's not too sophisticated.
Yet this kidnapping
was just the opposite.
It's not adding up.
Benji, can we borrow
against your campaign fund?
No, no, that's illegal. I...
I don't know, I don't know what
to do anymore.
I do.
This message is for the people
who are holding Sophie Troy.
We have received your demands,
and we are taking them
very seriously.
At this time, we want
to ensure Sophie's wellbeing
and are willing
to fully cooperate with you,
but in order to do so,
we must have proof of life
and an open channel
of communication.
You can reach us at any time
by calling the FBI hotline.
Again, let me emphasize,
our primary concern is
the wellbeing of Sophie Troy.
We will do whatever it takes
to ensure her safe return.
Thank you.
I know this must be a nightmare
for you, Congressman.
Nightmare doesn't even begin
to describe it.
If for some reason
she's able to watch this,
is there anything you want
to say to your wife?
Yes.
Sophie...
you're my entire world,
and I want you to fight.
And don't give up.
I want you to come back to...
Oh, I can't...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I can't do this.
Can you turn it off, please?
I...
Turn it off, please?
Hey, Garcia, what do you have?
Taras Yudin
is a very horrible meanie.
- What did he do?
- In 2012,
he was questioned
in the brutal killing
of a gang member's family
in his hometown of Volga,
but then there wasn't
enough evidence,
so the charges were dropped,
and he left Russia.
Is there anyone else
from his hometown in D. C?
Someone must have helped him
when he first arrived here.
It could be Dyadya.
Oh, it's hard to tell
with all the disposable
cell phones he uses,
- but keep looking will I.
- All right.
Thank you so much, Garcia.
Bye.
Something's going on.
Dyadya told you
he'd get two million ransom?
- Yeah.
- That's not what I heard
at the club.
I heard Dyadya's getting
$20 million.
$20 million.
That's a lot of money.
Son of a bitch
has been lying to you,
and-and what was
he gonna give us?
A measly five grand?
I don't believe it.
You don't believe it,
talk to Ivan.
Who's Ivan?
A bartender
at the local strip club.
We have a source down there.
Hotch, hey, the ransom changed.
- It used to just be two million.
- All right, Reid.
Thank you.
Okay, if a call comes in,
one of us is gonna answer.
We may ask you to speak,
but what's most important is you
have to stay calm.
I followed up
with some oil execs.
It turns out those with stakes
in Russian companies
would benefit
from a fracking ban
because it would drive
Russian oil prices back up.
I don't think they're involved.
This is Agent Hotchner.
We have Sophie Troy.
Who is this?
You may call me Viktor.
Viktor, we need to know
that Sophie is alive.
Hello?
Sophie, this is Agent Hotchner
- with the FBI.
- I'm here with your husband.
- Ben?
- Sophie, are you okay?
I, uh, think so.
Ask her something personal.
Uh, Sophie, you remember
our first date?
Where did we go after dinner?
We went for a walk.
Where?
Uh, where did we go for a walk?
What was the name of the park?
You have to help me.
I think they're gonna kill me
if you don't!
No, wait,
put her back on the phone!
She, you didn't let her answer
the question!
I can tell that it's her.
- Viktor?
- Satisfied?
- Sophie!
- Tell the congressman
we're not children.
He and his family think
to take advantage,
but we won't be paid off
with some pocket change.
Viktor...
We get a trace?
It's a long number, overseas.
Chechnya.
No, there's no way
he would take her that far.
He rerouted the call.
Rock Creek Park.
We went to Rock Creek Park
on our date.
That was her, right?
It had to be her.
"Tell the congressman
we're not children.
"He and his family think
to take advantage,
but we won't be paid off
with some pocket change."
"Paid off
with some pocket change."
Maybe there was
some prior arrangement.
We know from Spence
that the ransom amount changed.
Maybe a previous deal
went south?
Meaning the congressman
or someone in his circle
is hiding something.
It could be an inside job.
Are we being played here?
Viktor did say
"he and his family."
Maybe it's the brother, Paul.
The born-again
soup kitchen volunteer?
Who was a pill-popping
drug addict three months ago.
Well, he's definitely
uncomfortable
around the congressman.
He avoids making eye contact.
Hey, baby girl, what do you know
about Paul Troy?
Garcia?
Hey, baby gir...
Oh, my God,
what are you doing in here?
I was looking for you.
It's very messy.
Okay, chill, chill.
You know I'm not worried
about how you keep the Bat Cave.
You're here for information
about Paul Troy.
He was arrested
six months ago for embezzlement
while he was working
as a manager for a restaurant.
But the charges were dropped.
According to police records,
he needed the money
to pay back
Russian drug dealers,
but he had every intention
of paying the restaurant back.
- You are the best.
- Uh-huh.
Thanks, boo.
Yeah.
We know at the time
of your arrest you owed
some Russian drug dealers
money... how much?
32,000.
Well, you must've
paid it off, otherwise
you'd be dead or laid up
in a hospital somewhere.
I got a loan.
From who?
A friend.
Your brother?
- No, I said "a friend."
- Which friend?
Look, I-I don't want him
involved in this.
That's not your call right now.
I need a name!
Where were you yesterday
at 2:30 p. M?
Okay.
Here's another scenario.
You still owe the drug dealers,
but you told them how to get
a much bigger payday.
They kidnap your sister-in-law,
your family would pay
the ransom, no questions asked.
Look, that... that's insane.
Then where were you yesterday?
Has Paul been...
acting unusual lately?
Behaving erratically?
No, that's what he was like
when he was on drugs.
These last two months,
he's been an angel.
It's like having
my little boy back.
Is he jealous of his brother?
My sons love each other.
Well, yeah, sure,
but is he jealous?
I mean, I know I would be.
My brother's handsome,
successful,
married to a gorgeous woman.
And I can't even
hold down a job.
You want me
to speak ill of Paul.
I won't.
He's had a hard life.
You know how he got
that scar on his face?
A neighbor poured
a pot of hot oil
out of her kitchen window.
Didn't know Paul was playing
with her cat underneath.
He was five.
Yesterday...
I was with my friend Toby.
Toby?
- He give you the loan?
- No.
Toby's an escort.
So, who paid off
the drug dealers?
It was Ben.
All right?
It was my brother.
You were right all along.
Why so reluctant to say it?
Were you embarrassed he had
to bail you out yet again?
He didn't bail...
You think he's such a saint,
don't you?
He's got you all fooled,
doesn't he?
The golden boy
with his perfect face.
So, why'd he pay it?
You really want to know?
To shut me up about the intern
he's been screwing.
JJ, Hotch needs to see us.
Garcia found the actual
origination point
of the kidnapper's phone call.
Yes, it's an unleased warehouse
near Rock Creek Park.
Address is on your phone.
Good luck!
Clear!
Clear!
Clear!
What is that?
What are they doing?
Making sure it's not an IED.
Those are Sophie's.
I bought them for her
on our anniversary.
Oh! Oh, God!
I am magnificent, no doubt,
but this is too easy.
They used a dozen layers
of cover when they could've
used thousands.
They wanted us to find them.
No witnesses saw anyone
leaving the warehouse.
Or at least they're not talking.
Not that I blame them.
I'm worried, Aaron.
We've got four hours
until the deadline
and no line of communication
with the kidnappers.
Whatever the congressman's
involvement,
the clock's ticking on Sophie.
Who's that?
Congressman's intern.
Thank you.
I can't tell you
how much it means to me.
Take care.
I feel like I should be
holding a telethon the way
I'm asking strangers to donate
money for Sophie's ransom.
Have a seat, Congressman.
We need to ask you
about an intern in your office,
Michelle Golovin.
Former intern.
She no longer works for you?
Not for more than a year now.
Have the kidnappers
called back yet?
Have you two stayed in touch?
Maybe, I don't...
I don't remember.
A phone call or two at the most.
Actually, it was
a little more than that.
29 calls
in the last month alone,
according to the phone records
we pulled.
Okay, I can explain that.
Good, because we were
wondering whether you
and Michelle had planned
the kidnapping together.
He came over last night
around 8:30.
He said his wife was
at some stupid board meeting.
What did you do?
We... made love.
But he did seem
more nervous than usual.
Yes, I had a relationship
with her.
While Michelle was
still your intern?
Again, mea culpa.
But I was single,
we were both consenting adults
and this was
before I met Sophie.
Believe me... after that,
I wasn't interested
in anyone else.
He told me we would
be together soon.
He doesn't love Sophie,
you know?
He only married her
for his career.
Did he try to end things
with you?
I broke it off with her
the day after I met Sophie.
And how did she take it?
Not well.
She was very angry.
She was upset.
She started to threaten suicide
if I didn't call her
or visit her regularly.
Visit her to have sex?
We made love
whenever he came over.
And he kept all of this
a secret from Sophie?
Yes.
Maybe I should've told Sophie.
I was just talking to Michelle
to calm her down.
It wasn't like we were
still sleeping together.
Why did you go
see her last night?
Because she threatened
to swallow
a bottle of painkillers,
if I didn't.
Ah, where the hell
have you been?
I-I went to the store.
You needed more detergent.
Well, you better
start cleaning more.
Uh, I've been doing it.
This place is a pig sty.
What are we paying you for?
You smell like something...
what is it?
Bleach, probably.
No, no, it's more,
like, perfume-y.
It's like the woods
or flowers or something.
- Please, stop.
- No, it's good, I like.
Come, come and dance with me.
Stop it, please!
- Come on!
- Leave me alone!
You've been teasing me
for months.
You little bitch.
You think you're
too good for me?
- We have to do something.
- We can't.
- He's beating her up!
- You bust in there,
you blow the entire case...
yours and mine.
Think of the big picture.
You want to kill Sophie Troy?
Or thousands of people,
if a missile shipment gets out?
- What's going on?
- Nothing.
She was getting smart with me.
But, uh...
she learned her lesson.
Go. Go!
Clean yourself up!
- Well?
- You're right.
Dyadya's getting 20 million.
Right now it's
he said, she said.
Well, the congressman
didn't get where he is
without having some skill
of manipulating the truth.
Well, the threat of suicide,
especially after a breakup
is definitely a possibility.
I mean, I saw it happen
with a friend of mine
and his ex back in the day.
I found a smoking gun...
or at least the stuff
that goes into the gun
to make it smoke.
Credit card receipts
from the congressman
show he purchased ammo
for a handgun.
And then more smoke...
he sent that ammo
to a P.O. Box registered
in his name, in Virginia.
Now, why would he do that?
Did you have
your wife kidnapped?
What? No. What?
Why-why are you saying this?
You purchased ammunition
for a handgun last month
that you had shipped
to a mailbox in Virginia,
which means you likely
own a handgun,
although there isn't one
registered to your name.
Yes, I have a handgun.
Which you bought illegally?
Well, I had to,
after being so staunchly
pro-gun control in public...
You bought the gun
with the intent
to murder your wife
and then you changed your plans
and arranged to have
her kidnapped instead.
No, I bought the gun
because I was...
because I am terrified
of Michelle.
You know,
just a couple of months ago,
she threatened to come
to my home to tell Sophie
that we were having an affair,
and then she was gonna kill
both of us in front of her.
He's scared of me?
He's lying.
He'll say anything
to save his ass right now.
Those are interesting words
to say about the man you love.
I love him.
But I also know his weaknesses.
He's selfish.
He thinks about himself first.
Like, I have to be available
for him whenever he wants.
I know the type.
Probably won't even
use protection, right?
Are you kidding?
That's my responsibility.
Look, despite what
the congressman is saying,
I just want you to know
that I believe you.
And if you'll agree
to take a medical exam,
we can prove that he had
unprotected sex with you,
last night, and is just
lying to save himself.
Now you're looking at me
like I'm dirt.
I'm just another
scumbag politician, right?
I mean, I must be some sort of
a depraved narcissist
to do what I do.
Maybe I am...
maybe I am.
Doesn't mean
I would hurt my wife.
I love Sophie.
So...
I don't care
about my reputation anymore.
All right?
Go ahead, smear my name,
if that's what you want to do.
I don't care.
Just find her.
Hello?
No, he can't talk right now.
He's in the bathroom.
Who's this?
Oh, you're Dyadya...
No, I-I didn't know.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I'll tell him.
Dyadya just called.
Oh, yeah? What did he say?
He said he left two messages.
Wants to know why
you haven't called him back yet.
I didn't get them.
Or maybe you did.
And just didn't tell me.
Seriously?
Come on, man, you drunk.
Roman, it's me.
He wants us to meet him
in an hour with the truck.
We're supposed
to bring ski masks.
All right, let's go.
What the hell?
Are you spying on us?
Why are you hiding
in the closet?
- Answer him.
- This isn't good.
She's categorically refusing
a medical exam.
Which means the congressman
is probably telling the truth
about the affair being over.
Well, it still
doesn't exonerate him.
He bought a gun because
he was terrified of her,
and yet he went to visit her
the day that
his wife went missing.
Maybe Sophie found out about
them and tried to expose him.
The problem is,
if he's not
behind the kidnapping,
we don't have any other leads
and it's...
a little over an hour
till the deadline.
And we don't have any way
to contact the kidnappers.
Maybe we do.
How long you been in there? Huh?
What did you hear?
Nothing. I-I swear.
Who do you work for?
I think they're just messing
with her... they won't hurt her.
We don't know that.
Who is it?
Rossi, hold on.
I can't.
Clock's ticking
and you've got our best lead
on the kidnappers.
There's no one.
You're a lying bitch.
It's the damn Feds, isn't it?
She has to die.
Please... don't...
Reid, are you there?
Stop, stop! Listen.
- Is he dead?
- Yeah.
Reid! What's going on?
It's more complicated
than we thought.
You go in there
and arrest those guys right now.
Roman's dead.
Just wait a minute.
I should have killed him
sooner, sweetheart.
Are they?
Yeah, I think so.
Get your things.
We're leaving.
What about Dyadya?
His contact is pissed
that he-he asked
for more ransom,
but-but she'll pay
if the wife is dead.
We're supposed to pick up
the body and dump it.
But listen to me...
we don't have to do any of this.
We can take the money
or we can run away.
Rossi, the UnSub's a woman.
I don't think we should arrest
anyone yet.
They're leaving now;
they might lead us to Sophie.
Reid said the UnSub's a female.
It could be someone
close to the congressman.
Well, Michelle doesn't have the
sophistication to pull it off.
And since he fired her,
all of his staffers
have been male.
The congressman said
something odd about his mother.
I saw him earlier and he said
his mother would say
that Sophie was abducted
because he wasn't a gentleman.
That's harsh.
Her opinion means a lot to him.
Or maybe he's scared of her?
Could be both.
What if this is like
The Manchurian Candidate?
A domineering mother
molds her candidate son
into an unwitting assassin?
I've asked myself
that same question.
I mean,
where did Benji come from?
Well, I know
I gave birth to him...
I remember
the 20 hours of labor...
but the rest, it's...
it's a cosmic gift.
I mean,
where did Mozart come from?
Or Einstein? Or...
Okay, let's drop
the Earth Mother act.
You went to Vassar,
and you were voted
"most likely to run
a Fortune 500 company."
Yet you never had a career
after college.
I chose to stay home
and raise my children.
You have a problem with that?
No, but it makes me wonder
what happened
to all that ambition.
It had to go somewhere.
I think you channeled it
into your sons.
Especially Benjamin,
after your older son
had his accident.
You were smart enough
to stay in the background,
but you guided
Benjamin's career.
Who knew the FBI
had such active imaginations?
What happened?
Did Benjamin step out of line?
Did he marry someone
you didn't approve of?
Ben fell
head over heels in love.
He met and married Sophie
within a year.
Now, that's awfully fast.
I can't imagine you had a chance
to properly vet and train her.
So the solution
was to get rid of her.
That's ridiculous.
You seemed genuinely surprised
when you heard the ransom amount
was $20 million.
Why is that?
Well, it's an awful lot,
don't you think?
A lot more than two.
That was supposed
to be their fee
for getting rid of Sophie.
But they changed
the terms on you.
They heard about Benjamin's
campaign war chest
and thought they were
being underpaid.
This is pure conjecture.
His approval rates were waning.
Something like this
would create sympathy,
boost his visibility.
Maybe this wasn't
about your disliking Sophie.
This is just you being
ruthlessly pragmatic.
Here's what's gonna happen:
We're going to charge Benjamin
with weapons possession
and with the intent
to murder his wife.
This is not just
a minor sex scandal.
His career will be destroyed.
And all your hard work
grooming him
will go down the drain.
Unless you want
to call the kidnappers
and end this now.
- FBI!
- FBI!
Hands in the air!
She's alive.
Oh, thank God.
Is there something
you want to say to your wife?
Yes.
Sophie,
you're my entire world...
and I want you to fight.
And don't give up.
I want you to come back to me.
I can't...
That was the congressman
speaking to me
in an exclusive interview
yesterday afternoon,
and this was him an hour ago.
I would like to extend
my heartfelt thanks to the FBI,
in particular the BAU,
for bringing my Sophie
back to me.
I am and, uh, I will be...
eternally grateful.
Call me a softie,
but this whole thing
is turning me into mush.
Well, according to online polls,
his approval ratings
are skyrocketing.
We may be looking at a future
President of the United States.
He is a tall drink of water.
Speaking of pretty boys,
where's Reid?
That should do it.
Hey, thanks
for coming back to clean up.
You didn't have to.
No worries.
I, um... I wanted to apologize
for almost rushing in there
to save the wrong girl,
as it turns out.
You could've been right.
One of the hardest things
about surveillance
is not taking action.
You listen, you analyze...
then you force yourself
to do nothing.
I can imagine
that's really hard.
Oh, sorry, also, about ruining
Great Expectations for you.
You just saved me
about 20 hours.
Maybe you can summarize
Bleak House for me, too.
Everyone said it was a mistake
to visit you.
I'm your mother.
And I raised
a good son, didn't I?
What you did to Sophie
was unforgivable.
I'm sorry, Benji.
But it worked.
Now what do I do?
First...
Ripped By mstoll
with my husband,
and I'm on my way home.
I have a lot to do
before the meeting tonight.
Of course I'll be there,
but I hope there's more on the
agenda than the charity ball.
I don't want to debate which
caterer to use for an hour.
I'd gladly vote for corn dogs
if it ends the meeting sooner.
See you tonight.
And that was the last
known sighting of Sophie Troy...
at 2:37 p.m.
On a surveillance video.
She was coming from having lunch
with her husband,
and she was going home
using the Congressional
underground tunnels.
Okay, so it's 3:00 a.m. Now.
She's been gone
a little over 12 hours.
That doesn't qualify
as a missing person, yet.
The director's personally
asked us to handle the case.
Her husband is
Congressman Benjamin Troy,
which makes her VIP.
The question is...
who's the real target?
Sophie or her husband?
I mean, is this an attempt
to influence him?
Well, the congressman isn't
very high profile.
It's his first term,
and he has views
which have made him unpopular
on both sides of the aisle.
Sophie's a health care lawyer
on the DC Museum board.
What was her schedule
after lunch? Do we know?
Yeah, she was gonna go home,
and then she had a foundation
meeting at 7:00.
She didn't make either.
And when she wasn't
home by 12:30,
the congressman called
family and friends
before contacting
capitol police at 1:45.
We were notified
a half an hour later.
Let's go back
to her last sighting.
Do we have
the surveillance footage
from the other side
of the stairwell?
Yeah, that would be
the Library of Congress lobby,
and there's no sign of her.
It's like she vanished
into thin air.
Guys, it is possible that she
just left of her own accord.
But we have to assume
it's a kidnapping,
unless proven otherwise.
Well, we know she was
on the phone
Before she disappeared.
We need to pull all of her
e-mail and cell phone records.
Congressman's here.
Have a seat, Congressman.
I've heard the statistics.
What do we have, 36 hours
or something to save her?
In a homicide, the first 48
hours are the most critical,
but in an abduction,
every minute counts.
Oh, God.
We don't know for sure
that there's been foul play.
No, no, no, I-I know my wife.
We just had our first
anniversary a... a week ago.
She wouldn't just leave me,
certainly not without getting
the last word in.
Is there anyone
who would want to hurt her?
No.
No, no, Sophie's
a wonderful sweet woman.
I, on the other hand, I'm not
very well liked in this town.
And who are your enemies?
Well, where do we begin?
We have the oil lobbies.
Uh, we have the NRA and PETA.
Yeah, I'm an equal
opportunity offender.
Plus, then there's
all the other oddballs
who call, write letters,
send e-mails.
Uh, my aides don't usually
show them to me, though.
We'll need to see those.
Yeah, I'll have
my office send them over.
And also let them know
that we're on
an information lockdown.
Our chances
of solving this are better
if the media doesn't
get wind of it.
You know, I understand
people being angry with me,
but to take it out
on my family, on Sophie...
Rest assured,
you're our priority.
Excuse me.
The tech analysis
from the video surveillance
came back.
The footage from
the Library of Congress
where there's no sign
of Sophie, it's an old video
on a continuous loop.
Someone hacked the system?
It's run by the Metro PD...
it's outdated.
It wouldn't take a lot
of brain power to get in.
I have just
received confirmation.
Authorities have been alerted
and are treating this
as a probable abduction.
Just to recap... Sophie Troy,
wife of Congressman
Benjamin Troy,
has been missing since
mid-afternoon yesterday.
At this time, authorities
have not said...
What's going on?
Who leaked this?
I don't know.
Hotch.
So the last call Sophie made was
to a lawyer on vacation.
This is her voice mail.
Hi, Tania. It's Sophie.
I know you're still out of town.
Who are you? What are you doing?
Stop. Let go of me.
Ripped By mstoll
"The truth is rarely pure
and never simple."
Oscar Wilde.
See that shadow on the wall?
It shifted as the sun went down,
but now it's back.
The video was on a six-hour loop
before it repeated
which is why no one
noticed it right away.
And so this was organized
and premeditated.
Okay, so even though
this isn't the real footage,
the lobby would have
been crowded
with tourists at the time.
How was she taken in broad
daylight from a public place?
Ironically, it may have been
easier to kidnap her in a crowd.
It's noisy, hard to see,
people are distracted.
If she was injected
with a sedative,
the kidnappers might just look
like friends or family
helping someone
who's feeling ill.
We'll set up a trace phone.
And I've already got agents
looking into terrorism
and organized crime connections.
I also need to know
on what committees you sit
and what pending bills might
be influenced by your vote.
Right, I'm on
the energy subcommittee.
There's a vote in two days
to ban fracking
on the Pacific coast.
Where do you stand on the issue?
I'm for the ban,
but I've been getting pressure
from the oil companies
to vote against it.
They're not the most subtle
people in the world.
Do you think maybe they have
something to do with this?
Well, just to be safe, I think
you and your family should stay
here in protective custody
until we get
a better handle on things.
Okay, it's, uh, just my brother
and my mother.
- They're in Georgetown.
- They live together?
Well, Paul just got out of rehab
a couple of months ago.
He's staying with her
till he gets back on his feet.
We'll arrange
to have them picked up.
Agent Anderson, will you please
show the congressman
- where he can stay?
- Sure.
Congressman, right this way.
So, uh, we confirmed
the congressman was
in his office all afternoon.
There was nothing unusual
about his behavior.
And he's responding
appropriately.
Yeah, Dave, what have you got?
We'll be right down.
Organized Crime may have
a lead on the case.
So who's the package?
Who cares?
Dyadya just said
it's someone important.
What's our piece
of the action?
Maybe five grand.
Which translates into, "He'll
call us; we just sit tight."
These are low-level guys.
Foot soldiers
in the Mikhalov Bratva,
A Russian crime-ring
that deals in illegal arms.
We intercepted a container
of Stinger missiles
about six months ago;
they were gonna ship to Syria.
Been trying to infiltrate
the ring since then,
figure out who
the major players are.
Where is the wiretap?
In their apartment.
Th-This recording is
from a week ago.
And you think
it's connected to Sophie Troy?
Well, here's what we know.
These low-level guys often
do freelance work
to pad their income.
You need somebody
for an unsavory job,
this is who you call.
- 1-800-THUG.
- Yeah, pretty much.
This kidnapping
they're talking about was
gonna go down around now.
Yeah, probably not
a coincidence.
According to Loker,
our agent on site,
they're still waiting
for Dyadya,
which means "uncle," to call.
Any idea who the uncle is?
Nah, we've been trying to
I.D. Him, but no luck so far.
I think we need to be on this.
You're welcome
to join us as long as
you don't jeopardize our case.
Understood.
Hi, um, I'm looking for Loker.
I'm Dorian Loker.
You must be from the BAU.
Uh, yeah, I'm Spencer...
I don't really shake h...
Great. So we're set up in here.
The apartment's directly
across the courtyard.
The guys just left
to get breakfast.
What do we know about them?
Roman Azarof and Taras Yudin
work at a trucking company
in Anacostia,
but really it's just a front
for the Russian Mob.
Roman's bad news.
He assaulted a shopkeeper
with a chain saw back in 2008.
Which one has the uncle that may
have kidnapped Sophie Troy?
Taras, and "uncle" is
a loose term.
As far as we know, Taras has
no blood relatives in the U.S.
He's only been here two years.
Could be any older figure
in this crime network.
Good.
There's a lot of down time
in surveillance.
I hope you brought
something to read.
Great Expectations.
You like Charles Dickens?
Believe it or not,
I haven't read him before.
Figured it was high time
to change that.
He's great... that moment
where Pip finally learns
that Estella was always groomed
to break men's hearts
always strikes...
Haven't gotten there, yet.
Oh, well...
I-I think you're
gonna like that part.
Terrific.
I'm gonna go put on
a fresh pot of coffee.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just...
I just wish I had walked
Sophie to the street after lunch
or called her a cab.
I could have stopped
this somehow.
A lot of families feel that way
after an abduction,
but in most cases,
it was an unforeseeable event.
My mother would say it happened
because I wasn't a gentleman.
Well, try not to, uh,
beat yourself up too much.
Where's my son?
Hey, how long do you
plan on holding us?
- Paul.
- Not to be rude,
but, you know, I got
a life of my own.
I got to be at the soup kitchen
in an hour to volunteer.
We're not holding you...
this is for your own safety,
so I highly recommend
that you stay.
And while you're here, you could
just really help us out a lot
by answering a few questions.
Oh, of course.
Anything you need, right, Paul?
Okay, uh, could you
tell me a little
about Sophie and Benjamin?
What's their relationship like?
Oh, with Sophie and Benjamin,
it's true love.
They met and got married
eight months later.
In his eyes,
she can do no wrong.
And one harsh word from her
would just destroy him.
And if you ask her
where they met, she'd say
it was in a garden under
a double rainbow with a unicorn.
Paul.
And, uh, what do you think
of their marriage?
I have no opinion.
It's between them and God.
God?
Paul found
a higher power in rehab.
He's finally free of his demons.
What was your relationship like
with Sophie?
It was fine.
Honestly, I barely know her.
- They told me you just got here.
- Oh, Benji.
It's so terrible.
Thanks for coming, bro.
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't miss it.
What's the layout
of their place?
Same as this one.
The satellite dish
outside the window
is actually one
of our parabolic mics.
They're back.
It's a woman.
It's their cleaning lady, Fana.
Lya-mi.
Yeah, she's speaking Yoruba.
It's a Western Nigerian dialect.
She's talking to her mother.
Did you get
the money that I sent?
Yes, we used it all
to buy rice.
Okay, I'll try to send more
when I can.
- I have to go.
- Fana...
What the hell?
Why you have the curtains open?
So I could clean
the windows.
But what did we told you?
Keep the damn curtains closed.
How hard is it to remember?
It won't happen again.
I have to go
and switch the laundry.
She's an idiot.
Hey, I just got
a text from Dyadya.
He says he'll need us soon.
We should be ready with a truck.
I'm gonna go down to the office.
You speak Yoruba?
I can get by.
This is really good coffee,
by the way.
Coffee's a language in itself.
Who said that?
Dickens?
Jackie Chan.
So the gun lobbyists were
dismissive of the congressman,
saying they don't waste
their time
with one-termers like Troy.
But anyway,
even if they were involved,
I highly doubt that
they would outsource the job
to the Russian Mob.
What about the oil companies?
Pretty slimy, pun intended,
but none of our sources say
they were involved.
Well, considering how much oil
comes out of Russia,
they are
the most likely candidates
- to have ties to the Mob.
- I'm interrupting, I know,
but, sir, there's a reporter
in the lobby.
She insists to speak to you.
She says she has critical
information about this case.
You must be SSA Aaron Hotchner.
And you're Madison Young.
I come bearing gifts.
What is that?
A ransom message I received
from the kidnappers
at my office.
If you want the flash drive,
I have a request.
You're interfering
with a criminal investigation.
I'd like an exclusive interview
with Congressman Troy.
I know he's here.
I'll leave that up to him.
My name is Sophie Troy.
If you...
If you want my safe return,
you will wire $20 million
to...
to the bank account number
at the end of this video.
Do not think to delay
p-payment.
It will only make it worse
for me.
Remember now,
$20 million by midnight or...
Oh, God.
$20 million by midnight
or I die.
Remember now, $20 million
by midnight or...
Oh, God.
$20 million by midnight
or I die.
The recording appears genuine.
Benji.
The wiring instructions
are to a bank
in Cyprus; it's a big tax haven
for the Russians.
Is there any reason why
the Russian Mob
would want to hurt you?
No.
Then someone hired them.
But who, exactly,
is the $20-million question.
It could be anyone.
What does it, what does it,
what does it matter now?
The important question is
where am I gonna get
that kind of money?
Well, let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
We have to stay rational.
Unless you can guarantee me
that you're gonna rescue my wife
by midnight,
- I'm not gonna risk losing her.
- Benji,
we don't have $20 million.
Yeah, I know that.
Who asks for that kind of money?
Someone who thinks people
like Benjamin have the power
to make anything happen.
They may have seen media reports
on your campaign war chest.
Didn't you get a hefty donation
last week?
What do you have now,
$50 million?
But that-that's not
my personal money.
- They don't understand that.
- We're dealing with someone
who's not too sophisticated.
Yet this kidnapping
was just the opposite.
It's not adding up.
Benji, can we borrow
against your campaign fund?
No, no, that's illegal. I...
I don't know, I don't know what
to do anymore.
I do.
This message is for the people
who are holding Sophie Troy.
We have received your demands,
and we are taking them
very seriously.
At this time, we want
to ensure Sophie's wellbeing
and are willing
to fully cooperate with you,
but in order to do so,
we must have proof of life
and an open channel
of communication.
You can reach us at any time
by calling the FBI hotline.
Again, let me emphasize,
our primary concern is
the wellbeing of Sophie Troy.
We will do whatever it takes
to ensure her safe return.
Thank you.
I know this must be a nightmare
for you, Congressman.
Nightmare doesn't even begin
to describe it.
If for some reason
she's able to watch this,
is there anything you want
to say to your wife?
Yes.
Sophie...
you're my entire world,
and I want you to fight.
And don't give up.
I want you to come back to...
Oh, I can't...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I can't do this.
Can you turn it off, please?
I...
Turn it off, please?
Hey, Garcia, what do you have?
Taras Yudin
is a very horrible meanie.
- What did he do?
- In 2012,
he was questioned
in the brutal killing
of a gang member's family
in his hometown of Volga,
but then there wasn't
enough evidence,
so the charges were dropped,
and he left Russia.
Is there anyone else
from his hometown in D. C?
Someone must have helped him
when he first arrived here.
It could be Dyadya.
Oh, it's hard to tell
with all the disposable
cell phones he uses,
- but keep looking will I.
- All right.
Thank you so much, Garcia.
Bye.
Something's going on.
Dyadya told you
he'd get two million ransom?
- Yeah.
- That's not what I heard
at the club.
I heard Dyadya's getting
$20 million.
$20 million.
That's a lot of money.
Son of a bitch
has been lying to you,
and-and what was
he gonna give us?
A measly five grand?
I don't believe it.
You don't believe it,
talk to Ivan.
Who's Ivan?
A bartender
at the local strip club.
We have a source down there.
Hotch, hey, the ransom changed.
- It used to just be two million.
- All right, Reid.
Thank you.
Okay, if a call comes in,
one of us is gonna answer.
We may ask you to speak,
but what's most important is you
have to stay calm.
I followed up
with some oil execs.
It turns out those with stakes
in Russian companies
would benefit
from a fracking ban
because it would drive
Russian oil prices back up.
I don't think they're involved.
This is Agent Hotchner.
We have Sophie Troy.
Who is this?
You may call me Viktor.
Viktor, we need to know
that Sophie is alive.
Hello?
Sophie, this is Agent Hotchner
- with the FBI.
- I'm here with your husband.
- Ben?
- Sophie, are you okay?
I, uh, think so.
Ask her something personal.
Uh, Sophie, you remember
our first date?
Where did we go after dinner?
We went for a walk.
Where?
Uh, where did we go for a walk?
What was the name of the park?
You have to help me.
I think they're gonna kill me
if you don't!
No, wait,
put her back on the phone!
She, you didn't let her answer
the question!
I can tell that it's her.
- Viktor?
- Satisfied?
- Sophie!
- Tell the congressman
we're not children.
He and his family think
to take advantage,
but we won't be paid off
with some pocket change.
Viktor...
We get a trace?
It's a long number, overseas.
Chechnya.
No, there's no way
he would take her that far.
He rerouted the call.
Rock Creek Park.
We went to Rock Creek Park
on our date.
That was her, right?
It had to be her.
"Tell the congressman
we're not children.
"He and his family think
to take advantage,
but we won't be paid off
with some pocket change."
"Paid off
with some pocket change."
Maybe there was
some prior arrangement.
We know from Spence
that the ransom amount changed.
Maybe a previous deal
went south?
Meaning the congressman
or someone in his circle
is hiding something.
It could be an inside job.
Are we being played here?
Viktor did say
"he and his family."
Maybe it's the brother, Paul.
The born-again
soup kitchen volunteer?
Who was a pill-popping
drug addict three months ago.
Well, he's definitely
uncomfortable
around the congressman.
He avoids making eye contact.
Hey, baby girl, what do you know
about Paul Troy?
Garcia?
Hey, baby gir...
Oh, my God,
what are you doing in here?
I was looking for you.
It's very messy.
Okay, chill, chill.
You know I'm not worried
about how you keep the Bat Cave.
You're here for information
about Paul Troy.
He was arrested
six months ago for embezzlement
while he was working
as a manager for a restaurant.
But the charges were dropped.
According to police records,
he needed the money
to pay back
Russian drug dealers,
but he had every intention
of paying the restaurant back.
- You are the best.
- Uh-huh.
Thanks, boo.
Yeah.
We know at the time
of your arrest you owed
some Russian drug dealers
money... how much?
32,000.
Well, you must've
paid it off, otherwise
you'd be dead or laid up
in a hospital somewhere.
I got a loan.
From who?
A friend.
Your brother?
- No, I said "a friend."
- Which friend?
Look, I-I don't want him
involved in this.
That's not your call right now.
I need a name!
Where were you yesterday
at 2:30 p. M?
Okay.
Here's another scenario.
You still owe the drug dealers,
but you told them how to get
a much bigger payday.
They kidnap your sister-in-law,
your family would pay
the ransom, no questions asked.
Look, that... that's insane.
Then where were you yesterday?
Has Paul been...
acting unusual lately?
Behaving erratically?
No, that's what he was like
when he was on drugs.
These last two months,
he's been an angel.
It's like having
my little boy back.
Is he jealous of his brother?
My sons love each other.
Well, yeah, sure,
but is he jealous?
I mean, I know I would be.
My brother's handsome,
successful,
married to a gorgeous woman.
And I can't even
hold down a job.
You want me
to speak ill of Paul.
I won't.
He's had a hard life.
You know how he got
that scar on his face?
A neighbor poured
a pot of hot oil
out of her kitchen window.
Didn't know Paul was playing
with her cat underneath.
He was five.
Yesterday...
I was with my friend Toby.
Toby?
- He give you the loan?
- No.
Toby's an escort.
So, who paid off
the drug dealers?
It was Ben.
All right?
It was my brother.
You were right all along.
Why so reluctant to say it?
Were you embarrassed he had
to bail you out yet again?
He didn't bail...
You think he's such a saint,
don't you?
He's got you all fooled,
doesn't he?
The golden boy
with his perfect face.
So, why'd he pay it?
You really want to know?
To shut me up about the intern
he's been screwing.
JJ, Hotch needs to see us.
Garcia found the actual
origination point
of the kidnapper's phone call.
Yes, it's an unleased warehouse
near Rock Creek Park.
Address is on your phone.
Good luck!
Clear!
Clear!
Clear!
What is that?
What are they doing?
Making sure it's not an IED.
Those are Sophie's.
I bought them for her
on our anniversary.
Oh! Oh, God!
I am magnificent, no doubt,
but this is too easy.
They used a dozen layers
of cover when they could've
used thousands.
They wanted us to find them.
No witnesses saw anyone
leaving the warehouse.
Or at least they're not talking.
Not that I blame them.
I'm worried, Aaron.
We've got four hours
until the deadline
and no line of communication
with the kidnappers.
Whatever the congressman's
involvement,
the clock's ticking on Sophie.
Who's that?
Congressman's intern.
Thank you.
I can't tell you
how much it means to me.
Take care.
I feel like I should be
holding a telethon the way
I'm asking strangers to donate
money for Sophie's ransom.
Have a seat, Congressman.
We need to ask you
about an intern in your office,
Michelle Golovin.
Former intern.
She no longer works for you?
Not for more than a year now.
Have the kidnappers
called back yet?
Have you two stayed in touch?
Maybe, I don't...
I don't remember.
A phone call or two at the most.
Actually, it was
a little more than that.
29 calls
in the last month alone,
according to the phone records
we pulled.
Okay, I can explain that.
Good, because we were
wondering whether you
and Michelle had planned
the kidnapping together.
He came over last night
around 8:30.
He said his wife was
at some stupid board meeting.
What did you do?
We... made love.
But he did seem
more nervous than usual.
Yes, I had a relationship
with her.
While Michelle was
still your intern?
Again, mea culpa.
But I was single,
we were both consenting adults
and this was
before I met Sophie.
Believe me... after that,
I wasn't interested
in anyone else.
He told me we would
be together soon.
He doesn't love Sophie,
you know?
He only married her
for his career.
Did he try to end things
with you?
I broke it off with her
the day after I met Sophie.
And how did she take it?
Not well.
She was very angry.
She was upset.
She started to threaten suicide
if I didn't call her
or visit her regularly.
Visit her to have sex?
We made love
whenever he came over.
And he kept all of this
a secret from Sophie?
Yes.
Maybe I should've told Sophie.
I was just talking to Michelle
to calm her down.
It wasn't like we were
still sleeping together.
Why did you go
see her last night?
Because she threatened
to swallow
a bottle of painkillers,
if I didn't.
Ah, where the hell
have you been?
I-I went to the store.
You needed more detergent.
Well, you better
start cleaning more.
Uh, I've been doing it.
This place is a pig sty.
What are we paying you for?
You smell like something...
what is it?
Bleach, probably.
No, no, it's more,
like, perfume-y.
It's like the woods
or flowers or something.
- Please, stop.
- No, it's good, I like.
Come, come and dance with me.
Stop it, please!
- Come on!
- Leave me alone!
You've been teasing me
for months.
You little bitch.
You think you're
too good for me?
- We have to do something.
- We can't.
- He's beating her up!
- You bust in there,
you blow the entire case...
yours and mine.
Think of the big picture.
You want to kill Sophie Troy?
Or thousands of people,
if a missile shipment gets out?
- What's going on?
- Nothing.
She was getting smart with me.
But, uh...
she learned her lesson.
Go. Go!
Clean yourself up!
- Well?
- You're right.
Dyadya's getting 20 million.
Right now it's
he said, she said.
Well, the congressman
didn't get where he is
without having some skill
of manipulating the truth.
Well, the threat of suicide,
especially after a breakup
is definitely a possibility.
I mean, I saw it happen
with a friend of mine
and his ex back in the day.
I found a smoking gun...
or at least the stuff
that goes into the gun
to make it smoke.
Credit card receipts
from the congressman
show he purchased ammo
for a handgun.
And then more smoke...
he sent that ammo
to a P.O. Box registered
in his name, in Virginia.
Now, why would he do that?
Did you have
your wife kidnapped?
What? No. What?
Why-why are you saying this?
You purchased ammunition
for a handgun last month
that you had shipped
to a mailbox in Virginia,
which means you likely
own a handgun,
although there isn't one
registered to your name.
Yes, I have a handgun.
Which you bought illegally?
Well, I had to,
after being so staunchly
pro-gun control in public...
You bought the gun
with the intent
to murder your wife
and then you changed your plans
and arranged to have
her kidnapped instead.
No, I bought the gun
because I was...
because I am terrified
of Michelle.
You know,
just a couple of months ago,
she threatened to come
to my home to tell Sophie
that we were having an affair,
and then she was gonna kill
both of us in front of her.
He's scared of me?
He's lying.
He'll say anything
to save his ass right now.
Those are interesting words
to say about the man you love.
I love him.
But I also know his weaknesses.
He's selfish.
He thinks about himself first.
Like, I have to be available
for him whenever he wants.
I know the type.
Probably won't even
use protection, right?
Are you kidding?
That's my responsibility.
Look, despite what
the congressman is saying,
I just want you to know
that I believe you.
And if you'll agree
to take a medical exam,
we can prove that he had
unprotected sex with you,
last night, and is just
lying to save himself.
Now you're looking at me
like I'm dirt.
I'm just another
scumbag politician, right?
I mean, I must be some sort of
a depraved narcissist
to do what I do.
Maybe I am...
maybe I am.
Doesn't mean
I would hurt my wife.
I love Sophie.
So...
I don't care
about my reputation anymore.
All right?
Go ahead, smear my name,
if that's what you want to do.
I don't care.
Just find her.
Hello?
No, he can't talk right now.
He's in the bathroom.
Who's this?
Oh, you're Dyadya...
No, I-I didn't know.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I'll tell him.
Dyadya just called.
Oh, yeah? What did he say?
He said he left two messages.
Wants to know why
you haven't called him back yet.
I didn't get them.
Or maybe you did.
And just didn't tell me.
Seriously?
Come on, man, you drunk.
Roman, it's me.
He wants us to meet him
in an hour with the truck.
We're supposed
to bring ski masks.
All right, let's go.
What the hell?
Are you spying on us?
Why are you hiding
in the closet?
- Answer him.
- This isn't good.
She's categorically refusing
a medical exam.
Which means the congressman
is probably telling the truth
about the affair being over.
Well, it still
doesn't exonerate him.
He bought a gun because
he was terrified of her,
and yet he went to visit her
the day that
his wife went missing.
Maybe Sophie found out about
them and tried to expose him.
The problem is,
if he's not
behind the kidnapping,
we don't have any other leads
and it's...
a little over an hour
till the deadline.
And we don't have any way
to contact the kidnappers.
Maybe we do.
How long you been in there? Huh?
What did you hear?
Nothing. I-I swear.
Who do you work for?
I think they're just messing
with her... they won't hurt her.
We don't know that.
Who is it?
Rossi, hold on.
I can't.
Clock's ticking
and you've got our best lead
on the kidnappers.
There's no one.
You're a lying bitch.
It's the damn Feds, isn't it?
She has to die.
Please... don't...
Reid, are you there?
Stop, stop! Listen.
- Is he dead?
- Yeah.
Reid! What's going on?
It's more complicated
than we thought.
You go in there
and arrest those guys right now.
Roman's dead.
Just wait a minute.
I should have killed him
sooner, sweetheart.
Are they?
Yeah, I think so.
Get your things.
We're leaving.
What about Dyadya?
His contact is pissed
that he-he asked
for more ransom,
but-but she'll pay
if the wife is dead.
We're supposed to pick up
the body and dump it.
But listen to me...
we don't have to do any of this.
We can take the money
or we can run away.
Rossi, the UnSub's a woman.
I don't think we should arrest
anyone yet.
They're leaving now;
they might lead us to Sophie.
Reid said the UnSub's a female.
It could be someone
close to the congressman.
Well, Michelle doesn't have the
sophistication to pull it off.
And since he fired her,
all of his staffers
have been male.
The congressman said
something odd about his mother.
I saw him earlier and he said
his mother would say
that Sophie was abducted
because he wasn't a gentleman.
That's harsh.
Her opinion means a lot to him.
Or maybe he's scared of her?
Could be both.
What if this is like
The Manchurian Candidate?
A domineering mother
molds her candidate son
into an unwitting assassin?
I've asked myself
that same question.
I mean,
where did Benji come from?
Well, I know
I gave birth to him...
I remember
the 20 hours of labor...
but the rest, it's...
it's a cosmic gift.
I mean,
where did Mozart come from?
Or Einstein? Or...
Okay, let's drop
the Earth Mother act.
You went to Vassar,
and you were voted
"most likely to run
a Fortune 500 company."
Yet you never had a career
after college.
I chose to stay home
and raise my children.
You have a problem with that?
No, but it makes me wonder
what happened
to all that ambition.
It had to go somewhere.
I think you channeled it
into your sons.
Especially Benjamin,
after your older son
had his accident.
You were smart enough
to stay in the background,
but you guided
Benjamin's career.
Who knew the FBI
had such active imaginations?
What happened?
Did Benjamin step out of line?
Did he marry someone
you didn't approve of?
Ben fell
head over heels in love.
He met and married Sophie
within a year.
Now, that's awfully fast.
I can't imagine you had a chance
to properly vet and train her.
So the solution
was to get rid of her.
That's ridiculous.
You seemed genuinely surprised
when you heard the ransom amount
was $20 million.
Why is that?
Well, it's an awful lot,
don't you think?
A lot more than two.
That was supposed
to be their fee
for getting rid of Sophie.
But they changed
the terms on you.
They heard about Benjamin's
campaign war chest
and thought they were
being underpaid.
This is pure conjecture.
His approval rates were waning.
Something like this
would create sympathy,
boost his visibility.
Maybe this wasn't
about your disliking Sophie.
This is just you being
ruthlessly pragmatic.
Here's what's gonna happen:
We're going to charge Benjamin
with weapons possession
and with the intent
to murder his wife.
This is not just
a minor sex scandal.
His career will be destroyed.
And all your hard work
grooming him
will go down the drain.
Unless you want
to call the kidnappers
and end this now.
- FBI!
- FBI!
Hands in the air!
She's alive.
Oh, thank God.
Is there something
you want to say to your wife?
Yes.
Sophie,
you're my entire world...
and I want you to fight.
And don't give up.
I want you to come back to me.
I can't...
That was the congressman
speaking to me
in an exclusive interview
yesterday afternoon,
and this was him an hour ago.
I would like to extend
my heartfelt thanks to the FBI,
in particular the BAU,
for bringing my Sophie
back to me.
I am and, uh, I will be...
eternally grateful.
Call me a softie,
but this whole thing
is turning me into mush.
Well, according to online polls,
his approval ratings
are skyrocketing.
We may be looking at a future
President of the United States.
He is a tall drink of water.
Speaking of pretty boys,
where's Reid?
That should do it.
Hey, thanks
for coming back to clean up.
You didn't have to.
No worries.
I, um... I wanted to apologize
for almost rushing in there
to save the wrong girl,
as it turns out.
You could've been right.
One of the hardest things
about surveillance
is not taking action.
You listen, you analyze...
then you force yourself
to do nothing.
I can imagine
that's really hard.
Oh, sorry, also, about ruining
Great Expectations for you.
You just saved me
about 20 hours.
Maybe you can summarize
Bleak House for me, too.
Everyone said it was a mistake
to visit you.
I'm your mother.
And I raised
a good son, didn't I?
What you did to Sophie
was unforgivable.
I'm sorry, Benji.
But it worked.
Now what do I do?
First...
