Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 11 - Entropy - full transcript
As Reid narrates to one of the hitmen how they tracked her, the BAU works to get him out of the hitman's gunpoint.
Reid: Previously
on "criminal minds"...
You're part of
an interconnected
group of hitmen
Working together online.
How many of them
are you?
Besides me, quatro.
The last time we talked,
you hinted
That this was
your next target--
The dirty dozen.
Who are they?
You're the dirty dozen?
But if they're as good
as I think they are,
No one can stop them.
Director cochran, do you mind
if we borrow your pen?
Something tells me
the access codes
To the darknet servers
are in there.
I'm scared.
What's going on?
There's been a major
break in the case
Of the hitmen
hunting you.
There has?
And we may have
found a way to bring
The whole network down.

Spencer?
Hi!
Cat?
Hi.
Hi.
Nice to finally--
hello. Hi. Hi.
Oh--sorry, I have a--
a germ thing.
Oh.
I'm kind of weird
with hu-hugs.
Sorry.
Can I sit down?
Yes, please.
Oh, yeah. Of course.
Sit down.
First time doing this?
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
Yeah, I--I still
get nervous, too.
Really, it wasn't
until an hour ago
that I was like,
Wait, we've been trading
emails back and forth,
But I still have no idea
what this guy looks like.
Hence the...
I know. And then
I was like, wait,
He's going to bring
a red rose,
So we need to go
to a nicer place,
Which is why I switched
the restaurant
last-minute--
Not a problem at all.
And now I need to change
and put something nice on
For this place, 'cause
I was totally underdressed,
And my whole wardrobe
makes me look like
a kardashian.
You know know
who that is, do you?
No, oh, yeah,
robert kardashian.
He got o.J. Simpson off.
You--you don't look like
his daughters.
Yeah, no, I was making
a joke about them.
No, it was good.
It was a good joke.
It was funny.
No, it wasn't.
[both chuckle]
Can we start over?
Hi, I'm cat.
Hi--hi, I'm [laughs]--
I'm spencer.
It really is
nice to meet you,
In person, finally.
It's nice to meet you.
Tell me a little bit
about yourself.
Do you really have
3 ph.D.S?
Yes. Um, I--yeah, I do,
I have 3 ph.D.S.
What was your favorite
book that you read
last year?
Um, honestly, I've never
read a book I didn't love.
Tell me about your wife.
If you don't mind,
I'd, uh,
I'd rather not
talk about her.
Might as well get it
out in the open, right?
That's why we're here.
How long have you
been married?
4 years.
When is she due
to give birth?
[clears throat]
Uh...A couple of--
A couple of months.
Should we talk
about price now, or...
Slow down, tiger.
What exactly are we
negotiating here?
You know.
I want to hear you say it.
[whispering]
to have her killed.
Let me see your ring.
You know what that is?
A noose.
Only it doesn't kill you
all at once.
It kills you slowly,
Day by day.
You ever feel that way?
I feel that way
all the time.
Take it off.
Why?
As a sign
of your commitment.
To me.
If she sticks to pattern,
she'll take him
to a secondary location
And kill him.
We're not gonna let it
get that far.
Hotch, do you have
a visual?
Just hacked in.
All right, we have you
over her left shoulder.
Do you copy?
All right,
all agents stand by.
Dr. Reid will give
the green light.
Don't move
until we have it.
24-karat?
Mm-hmm.
24k times...
4 years
Means this ring
should be
dinged and nicked.
But the sucker
is brand-new.
You're not married.
[click]
What was that?
Was that what I think it was?
Everybody hold.
Why are we here,
spencer?
We're here because
you belong to a network
Of 4 hitmen who've been
operating in the shadows
Of the internet.
You're know as miss .45.
My team and I have been
hunting for months,
And I knew
that if I boxed you in,
I could arrest you with
as little resistance
as possible.
Your team being
the behavioral analysis
unit of the fbi?
You guys are good.
You're the only ones
that got close to us.
But we got kind of
close to you, too,
didn't we?
Hi, penelope.
Do you know why
I'm so good at my job?
Because you kill
without compunction
or remorse.
That only gets a girl
so far in life.
No, it's because
I think through
every potential outcome
And then I plan
accordingly.
You see, I didn't
walk into your trap.
You walked into mine.
Where's your head,
spencer?
What are you
thinking about?
I was thinking about entropy.
Mm-hmm.
It's the thermodynamic measure
Of the degradation of matter
and energy in the universe.
To put it another way--
There's your gun.
Good evening.
Hi, uh, you know what?
We've been having
So much fun getting
to know one another,
We'll let you know
when we're ready, ok?
Thank you.
Now that we got that
out of the way,
will you do me a favor
And tell blondie
mcblonderson over there
At the bar to disappear.
Jj, stand down.
Thanks for playing,
sweetie.
If she learns how many agents
we have outside,
she'll start shooting.
Dave, get ready
to take her out.
Yeah.
Reid, do not let her
get up from the table.
All right,
you're in charge.
Tell me what you want
and I'll see if I can
get it here for you.
Anything I want?
Anything you want.
Like a million dollars
in unmarked bills,
Maybe a plane to aruba?
Is that what you want?
And you'll say
you'll bring it here,
But the real plan
is to distract me
From what is, I'm sure,
an impressive
Law enforcement response
just outside that door.
Is that the plan?
That's the plan.
Ok, let's talk,
but let's talk
About something
interesting, at least.
Tell me about me.
You?
You're a black widow
hitwoman.
You specialize in seduction
and you're patient.
You learn everything
you can about the men
you're hired to kill,
Physically, psychologically,
and emotionally,
Because you want them
in as compromised
a position as possible
So they don't see it coming
when you pull the trigger.
And when I do it really
well, they pull the trigger
themselves.
Give me your phone.
Why?
Because I know
what I want now.
I want to play
a game with you.
You like games?
I do.
I always win.
Do you win?
Give it to me.
Ok, here's my game.
You have 30 minutes
to answer every
question I ask.
And if you lie,
I'll know.
Because I've spent
the past 10 years
of my life
Studying men
and their lies
Before I kill them.
Do you believe me?
I do.
That was true.
You're getting this.
Now, here's how we'll
know who wins at the end
of 30 minutes.
If you win, you'll drag me
out of here in handcuffs.
But if I win,
you will escort me out
Like a gentleman,
To make sure
I exit safely.
What do you say,
spencer?
Think you can
win this one?
Considering everything
you've put garcia
And so many people through,
You're going to have to
shoot me in the face
Before you walk
out of here.
Game on.
Oh, boy.
Reid: What do you want
to ask me?
How you found me,
of course.
A professional learns
from her mistakes.
We got our big break
in the case
At the end of last year.
I didn't learn how big
until I came back
from some time off.
Why'd you take time off?
Boy: Higher, mommy, higher!
Mom: Careful, sweetheart.
Higher, mommy, higher!
[doorbell rings]
Hi.
Hey, you!
Welcome back.
Come in.
Thank you.
I know
you're not a hugger.
I don't care.
Hey, get your greasy
hands off my girl.
Nice to have you home, kid.
Good to be back.
[laughs]
let me get my stuff.
That thing you called about,
here's some updated stats.
Thanks.
Morgan: Stats?
Stats from what?
Medical research.
Shop talk.
Things you wouldn't
be interested in.
Well, I can tell you
what I am interested in,
And that is you.
You gonna love me
forever?
Yes, I am.
Forever ever?
For ever, ever, ever.
Guys. Garcia and hotch
need us asap
For a briefing
on the 4 hitmen.
What?
Stop.
You didn't tell me
why you took time off.
It's not relevant.
That's not the game.
The game is
You answer every
question I ask.
Is it a secret?
No.
Is it dirty?
Then tell me.
No.
It's not important
to your story.
Out of curiosity,
is it me you don't
want to tell
Or the people
listening in?
Is this really how
you want to spend
your 30 minutes?
Yes.
No.
Ok, so you were saying
You showed up for work
that morning and...
We learned that someone
unexpected decided to talk.
And who would that be?
Brian cochran from the nsa.
I've placed him on
24/7 lockdown
at usp terre haute.
The network has proven
that they can kill
anyone, anywhere, anytime,
And now that they've
targeted garcia,
We can't afford
to lose another lead.
Cochran used one of the hitmen
to target dea supervisor graff.
But we can press him
on that to get him
to cooperate.
Well, fortunately
that won't be necessary.
He had a breakdown
in solitary confinement
And he was already willing
to make a deal.
We need to go talk to him.
Garcia and I already did.
This is, we
video-conferenced with him.
He was limited in what
he could tell us
About the hit people.
He didn't know their names,
But he did know all of
their areas of expertise.
How specific do they get?
Most successful hitmen
are basically just
swiss army knives of murder.
Well, take the o.G. Hit guy
who got us into this mess,
Giuseppe montolo.
Remember him?
He was a genius at making
hits look like an accident.
The others, depends
what you're looking for.
Take the guy that's
still out there
Who's responsible
for shooting poor mr. Graff.
He's known simply
as the sniper.
He can make a t-zone shot
from over 2,000 meters.
Which means
he's ex-military.
Not necessarily ours,
but he's definitely
trained.
So who's number two?
Garcia: That would be
the chemist.
He works with poison.
[toilet flushes]
He specializes in hits
that don't leave a trace.
[groans]
He sounds delightful.
What about number 3?
Well, that would be
the bomber.
According to cochran,
he's responsible for this.
It's a chemical fire
in tianjin, china.
Apparently a bureaucrat
didn't pay his bribe on time.
You know that's
conspiracy theory garbage.
But what is credible
is cochran's insistence
That he was trained
by mossad.
Jack garrett's
following up on leads.
That leaves us
with number 4,
The one with the highest
body count of them all.
And who's that?
Me.
Yes.
Wow, that was really
impressive.
Yeah, the way you just
made all those brilliant
deductions
With all that information
That was just handed to you
on a silver platter.
Quick question--are you guys
really profilers
Or are you just lucky?
Because this,
what I'm about to say--
[clears throat]
is profiling.
The reason you took time
off from work
Was to deal with the same
girl who broke your heart.
No.
The death
of a parent, then.
No.
Ah, hello,
I'm getting close.
It's mom or dad
in the billiard room
with the candlestick.
Oh, you're mad at me,
aren't you?
Yes, you are, I can tell.
Not even a little bit.
No offense, but you're not
really worth getting angry at.
So you figured out
what the 4 of us did,
and then what?
We profiled that you
operated as spokes on a wheel.
Somehow it had to be
centralized,
How you got jobs,
who paid you.
Somebody did all that
for you.
You found the snowman,
didn't you?
Great. So who's this
snowman jagoff?
Cochran says
he's the I.T. Expert.
He's the key
to the whole network.
But if he set it up, he's not
just gonna tear it down
because we ask nicely.
He will because he was
kidnapped by one of
the hitmen
And held against his will
in a safe house.
Jj: I wonder how
that feels.
Even if they have him
under duress,
He's still gonna be
impossible to find.
We will find him...
With this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I'm confused.
What just happened there?
When we arrested cochran,
we found a flash drive,
One that gave us access
to a specific shadow
of the darknet,
One we didn't even
know existed.
Oh, put a ring on it
before you decide
to do that.
Oh, that's flashy.
It's certainly cocky.
Yeah, it's smart,
but it's risky.
He's taking security flaws
from his own code
And then exploiting them
as another level of security.
If I didn't know any better,
I'd think he was having fun.
He wouldn't do this
if his life depended
on it, unless...
He's young.
Yeah, and based on this,
like high school young.
Reid: Garcia used it
to find the website
That snowman set up
for all of you.
Once we had the website,
we had geography,
Specifically, the safe house
you were keeping him in.
So we waited until
the shift change
When we knew we could take
two of you down at once.
Fbi! Everybody down!
[gunshot]
uhh!
Fbi!
Don't!
[indistinct]
It's ok. We got you.
What is this?
What's going on?
Welcome to the fbi, kid.
Well, well, well,
you took the chemist
and the sniper
Out of commission, huh?
Did you know?
I knew something was off.
They didn't bid
on some contracts.
And this isn't
the kind of job
Where you get to take
time off to be with your...
Mother?
Is it your mom?
It's gotta be your mom.
Why'd you take time off
from the fbi?
I'm not gonna tell you.
Spencer, why did you
take time off
From the fbi?
You can ask me as many
times as you want,
And you can continue
to waste your time,
But I'm still not
gonna tell you.
Then you're cheating,
and I don't like cheaters.
You don't get everything
you want just because
You're pointing a gun at me
under a table.
You're not the first killer
to point a gun at me.
You're not even the first
woman to point a gun at me.
Sorry.
You're really gonna
take this all the way,
aren't you?
So am I.
Yeah.
Dave, go.
Look at my face.
Does it look like
I'm bluffing?
I know you're not bluffing.
I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
Before you say no,
I want you
to consider something.
[microphone squeals]
She muffled the mike.
We lost audio.
I'll kill the fed
walking toward me first.
A stationary target's
easier to hit. After that
it's a free-fire zone.
Fine, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
Sorry, what was that?
Rossi, stand down.
Please.
[indistinct chatter]
Welcome to the locker room.
I hate the locker room.
My mom has schizophrenia,
And the doctor has changed
her medication,
Which seemed to agitate her,
And so I went to the treatment
center to help her.
That's it?
That's it.
You just risked your life
over mommy's pills?
It's the truth.
It's part of the truth.
You're holding
something back.
Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna penalize you
By adding 10 minutes.
And keep in mind
that the only reason
you're not dead right now
Is because I did learn
something important.
Oh, really? What's that?
Your backup.
I flushed them out.
It's just
you and me now.
Guess again, bitch.
So when we left off,
the score was you had
two of our guys
And the snowman.
You must have thought
you were home free.
No. If anything,
the case was harder.
I can't tell you much
about them.
It's not like we had
a lot of heart-to-heart
conversations
While they handcuffed me
to a computer.
Do you know
any of their names?
No. But I know
their bank accounts.
How long do you
think we have
Before the other two
realize the network's
been compromised?
Two days, maybe.
They like being
independent contractors,
So they always work jobs
separately.
And, uh, they rely on me
to coordinate
all their online traffic.
Yeah.
Which I can help fake.
We have the facade
covered on our end,
But they also have
back channel communications
That I can't account for.
Especially the bomber.
Why him?
I don't know.
All I know is
when they would rotate
watching over me,
He never showed.
I know why. He's paranoid.
Most explosive experts are.
Blow everything up,
you live in fear
that you're next.
We need to lure out
the hitwoman.
If we can take her alive,
she'll lead us
to the bomber.
We have to give her a target
worth coming out of hiding for.
That means me,
doesn't it?
Sir--
no.
Garcia,
that's not gonna happen.
It's too dangerous
To leave you out there
exposed like that.
You have a record
of all the kills
she was paid for?
I have records
of everything.
All right. Even
a contract killer
can have a victimology,
A pattern of which
she's not aware.
We need to find that.
But first we had to get
the data that we needed
from the snowman.
From that we could start
to build the profile
that would lead us to you.
When we knew what
we were looking for,
the pattern was obvious.
These 3 hits--they were
all men who wanted
to kill their wives.
That's the oldest
motivation in the book.
Why are they special?
She took their money,
then killed the men
who hired her.
All 3 of them
had children.
Maybe children are the line
hitmen won't cross?
The chemist and the sniper
both performed jobs
that involved families.
Theoretically,
if the price is high enough,
A hitman shouldn't
have morals.
I think these kills
are personal to her.
Personal enough to risk
double-crossing her contract.
Maybe something similar
happened to her.
And that's how we get her
to come to the table.
I pretend to be
that kind of client.
How do we know
that's gonna work?
We don't.
It's a calculated risk
Based on her m.O.,
which is categorically
different than the men.
They're cold, clinical,
long-distance.
She's up close
and personal.
She knows that she
has to be more careful
Because she actually
wants to kill her targets.
I'm going to pretend
to be a husband
Who wants his
pregnant wife dead.
Well, I'd want to kill
you if you told me that.
Exactly. Then all
we have to do is set
the right meeting spot.
A bar or a restaurant
we control
So the odds are better
of us taking her alive.
That's our best strategy.
But there is one flaw.
You. You're the flaw.
You're not married
and you don't have
children.
I'm the person on my team
who's the closest to your age,
And I knew that if I lost
control of the situation,
You'd be more likely
to negotiate with a peer.
You have zero control
here. None.
I outflanked you
from the beginning.
Some of your moves
were pretty obvious.
Such as?
Such as showing up armed.
Such as changing the venue
at the last moment.
I needed a restaurant
full of innocents
in case this was a trap.
If you really suspected
this was a trap,
Then why show up at all?
Even when you first
laid eyes on me,
From the bar, from outside,
from wherever you were,
You should have
seen through me
And kept on moving,
but you didn't.
You couldn't.
Because you can't
get to the man
You really want to hurt,
So you need to hurt any man
who reminds you of him.
That's kind of boilerplate
psychology, isn't it?
I'm just another girl
with daddy issues.
You'd be surprised
how many killers
Do what they do
because of their parents.
If it's so boilerplate,
why don't we test
that theory?
How hard did you
look for him?
Very hard.
And how disappointed
were you
When you realized
that you will never find him?
You needed some other
outlet for your rage,
And for a while this worked,
but it also tripped you up.
Can I tell you
a little secret?
Everything eventually
falls apart.
The trick is accepting
When it's over.
[stopwatch rings]
Except it ain't over,
is it?
Do you really think
I'm just gonna let you
walk out of here?
You profiled so much
about me,
Except you forgot
to ask the most
important question.
Why would I make you
sit here for 30 minutes?
Because you're stalling.
Then you don't
know me at all.
Did you guys show up here
without an escape plan?
Or is that what
just another girl
with daddy issues do?
Maybe if you hadn't
fallen victim
to your own gender bias,
And, yes, all men
have gender bias,
even you, dr. Reid,
You would have recognized
that your entire strategy
Was based on one
faulty detail.
Can you see it?
They like being
independent contractors,
So they always worked jobs
separately.
You're not here alone.
And my partner?
Less paranoid
than you think.
You planted a bomb
in the building.
We're on the move.
I didn't. My job was
to keep your entire team
focused on us,
So he could do
what he does best.
Jj: Hotch, we've got
interconnected
c-4 charges down here.
How many?
There's 6 charges.
They're connected
To the city's gas line.
She could take out
the whole block.
There are innocent
people here.
Yes, there are.
So let me remind you
what we're playing for.
Not only will I
walk out of here,
But you will make sure
I leave safely.
And from where
I'm sitting...
It looks like I've won.
You need to pay
attention to this part.
I'm going to tell you
the terms of my victory.
I want you to move
all of your backup
away from this building.
If I walk out of here
and I see one cop,
I will incinerate us all.
Spencer--
I can't do that.
It's not me. What you're
asking takes time.
This is to whoever's
in charge.
Unless you guys
want to be responsible
For the biggest
fbi disaster since waco,
You will back off now.
Watch this.
Jj, say again. The bomb
has a cell phone trigger?
That's right. All
she has to do is call
the number and boom.
Not from here, no.
Can you jam the signal?
The failsafe
will still kick in.
Same outcome--
can't move 'em,
can't submerge 'em.
It'll take us hours
to get the gas turned off
on the whole block.
If we alert anyone,
then the panic could
set her and the bomb off.
Jj: Swat's on the radio
with the bomb squad.
They say our only chance
is to get our hands
on that cell phone.
If we shut down
the trigger, we can
remove the charges.
Go ahead, hotch.
Morgan.
Does she have a cell phone
with her?
I don't think so.
I didn't see her
pull one out.
The bomber was setting
this up while we were
all up here.
I think he's holding
the stick.
We're combing the block.
He could be anywhere, though.
Where's lewis?
Do not overreact.
Do not rush.
Simply give every patron
their check
And tell them there's been
an unforeseen problem
in the kitchen
That cannot be resolved.
Their dinner has been paid for
And they should leave calmly
And at their earliest
possible convenience.
Got it?
Mm-hmm.
Yes, ma'am.
Great.
You. Come with me.
That table there,
You leave alone.
Look at that.
There they go.
All we want to do--
Minimize the collateral
damage. I get it.
I'm not mad.
It'll give me
the cover I need
To slip out.
I just need to know
it's clear,
So do me a favor
and tell your boss
That nobody leaves
until it's safe
for me to.
Reid, perimeter agents
are pulling back.
You have to let her go.
Well?
Repeat--all agents,
do not engage or pursue
Until the bomb is defused.
Spencer...
You can leave.
But you won't.
I'm sorry?
Double or nothing.
You need to sit back down.
Reid, what are you doing?
Wow,
now you're stalling.
You played your trump card,
but I have one, too.
Thanks for dinner.
I had fun.
I found your father.
No, you didn't.
Look at my face.
Am I bluffing?
I'll tell you where he is.
But you need to sit back down
And listen to the rest
of my story.
No. Tell me now.
Or I'll--
Detonate the bomb?
You're not gonna do that, cat,
Because then you won't learn
anything.
You said you were good
at your job
Because you think through
every outcome.
Well, guess what--
so do I.
All right.
Finish the story.
To prepare for this dinner,
I had to learn
everything about you,
Starting with your real name.
Foster care records locked,
loaded, and searchable.
According to
the emails she sent me
setting up tonight,
Her name is cat.
So let's assume
her name is catherine.
Give me more.
Suspicious death for mom,
And her dad most likely
went away for manslaughter.
Keep it coming.
Rampant abuse.
She would have been
in a world of pain.
Sadly that does not rule out
any catherines.
Her first kills
were most likely in
the foster environment.
Cross-reference
all those families
The catherines
went into with
accidental deaths
Of foster dads,
and focus on those
That have multiple
abuse complaints
leveled against them.
Ding.
Catherine adams.
Daughter of daniel adams,
Who did in fact
leave the country in 1987
But returned in 2012.
Based on confidential
records in rehabs
and sober living houses,
Which in turned pointed us
to flophouses
and soup kitchens.
He couldn't put 24 hours
together sober.
And you can probably
imagine my surprise
When I discovered
that he actually
Lives right here in d.C.
Where?
It's not that simple.
He was in bad shape
when I found him.
Is your name daniel adams?
Who wants to know?
My name is spencer reid.
I'm with the fbi
And I'd love to ask you
a few questions.
Leave me alone.
I'm just trying
to sleep.
Mr. Adams, I just need
to ask you a few questions
About your daughter.
Who?
Your daughter, catherine.
You don't recognize her,
do you?
I think you got
the wrong man, pal.
He didn't remember me?
The alcoholism
shredded his brain.
I'm sorry.
You're not sorry.
Sorry is what people say
when they don't understand.
Wait.
Your mother--tell me.
Is--is this part
of the game?
No. The game's over.
When I looked at
her medical chart,
It--it didn't make
any sense.
The medication
that they gave her
Should have been helping,
But I couldn't figure out
what was making her so angry.
So, I, uh,
I went to see her.
The moment
I walked in her room,
I saw it.
For 3 seconds...
She didn't know
who I was.
I, um, I had her tested
that morning,
And I found out that night...
That she had early onset
of dementia.
Most likely alzheimer's.
Did you test yourself?
No, you didn't.
You were too scared.
Did you know?
No.
I thought I dodged a bullet
when I turned 30
And didn't have
a schizophrenic break
like her,
But, uh, this is somehow
bigger and scarier
Because I can actually
see it happening.
All the memories
that we used to share
Are just dying.
I can't stop it.
I can't help her.
All I can do
Is find people
that I can help.
Is that really why
you showed up tonight?
To help me?
Do you know
how many men
have told me
That they wanted
to help me?
How do you think
that worked out for them?
[beeping]
Hotch,
she just armed the bomb.
Hotch, we need to pull back.
Oh, my god, oh, my god,
oh, my god.
Morgan, get out of there.
Lewis: Hotch, we might
have a lead here.
She hasn't touched anything
to arm the bomb.
That means the bomber's
here, somewhere
in the restaurant.
All right, if you can
take him, do so, but
the priority is evacuation.
I'm not even sure
if it is a him.
Cat mentioned something
about gender bias,
So that could apply
to the bomber as well.
All right, she'd have to be
in a position to maintain
Line of sight
on reid all night.
Who do you see?
Look for anyone
with their phone out.
That's the detonator.
Our woman will
give herself away
by looking over.
You're right.
You don't need my help.
You don't need anyone's help.
You are completely
in control.
I've got her.
Blue dress.
By the bar.
Hey, you know what,
baby?
Let's get out of here.
I'm not really
feeling this place.
Really? I kind of liked it.
I want to take you
to a spot where
we can do some dancing.
Oh! Uhh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Ohh!
Uhh!
[beep]
Hotch, we're clear.
Reid's not.
Don't!
Fbi. Everybody
stay calm, please.
We're gonna be
smart about this
And talk it out.
Aren't we, cat?
That's up to you.
Lewis: Move.
Get everyone out of here.
[indistinct shouting]
Morgan, you, too.
I'm not going
anywhere.
Guess we're right back
where we started.
You and me with a gun.
No.
Reid, it's time.
We don't have a choice.
We have to do it.
Morgan, shut up.
Do what?
There's one thing
he hasn't told you yet.
That's not true.
He's lying.
Don't listen to him.
Nothing. I told you--
nothing!
What haven't you told me?
Nothing!
What don't I know?
We brought your father here.
Here?
He's here?
He's right outside.
Reid thought he needed
Every bargaining chip
he could get.
Morgan, I'm begging you,
don't. Don't.
Every bargaining chip
he could get
to convince you
To do the right thing.
How is this
the right thing?
Your father
killed your mother.
And there's no statute
of limitations on murder,
So you really need
to think about
your options right now.
You shoot him,
I will kill you.
Or if you surrender,
you will live
To testify
against your father.
That's not good enough.
We can arrange it
for the two of you
To drive into
custody together,
And then you can remind
him of who you are.
If you give her this,
she wins. Don't do it.
Kid, I am trying
to save your life.
Now let me do that.
[beeping outside]
They're bringing him in
right now.
[beeping]
Man: Move that van.
You're really upset
about this, aren't you?
This is what you
wanted, isn't it,
A chance to finally
hurt the man
who deserves it?
They all deserve it.
He deserves it the most.
Only if spencer
escorts me out.
Deal.
Yeah.
Morgan: Hotch?
We're coming out.
Ok, you're all clear.
You want to go home?
Wait.
Ok, I'm ready.
You lied to me.
If it makes you feel
any better, I really--
I did look for him.
But...I couldn't
find him, so, yeah,
I did make it all up.
Not all of it.
You don't pull a story
about a parent
Losing her memory
out of nowhere.
Your mother
and the alzheimer's,
that's true.
I won.
How so?
Because I will
get out of here.
Yeah, in 20 years, maybe,
if you're lucky.
Yeah, that's fine.
You know why?
Because in 20 years...
I'll remember your name,
But you won't remember mine.
[engine starts]
[doors clang shut]
Officer: All right!
So...
You want to come in,
Decompress a bit?
I'm good.
I'm probably just
gonna go home.
That was an intense case.
Yeah.
It's over.
Network's gone.
Yeah.
Reid.
That medical research
that savannah gave you,
Was that...
Yeah.
You are gonna get
yourself tested, aren't you?
One of the data points
that her research
told me about was age.
I'm, uh, too young
to display
the chromosomal signs,
So I'm just gonna
have to...
Learn to live
not knowing.
[door opens]
Oh, my god.
Oh, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What is happening
right now?
You're what's going on.
Right now is what's--
You are here.
Do you know what's
happening right now?
It is--it is done.
The dirty dozen is done.
Yes, done.
I'm in it!
It's...
How much
did she have?
She started out
with jaeger.
I love you.
Jaeger? Ok.
I love you.
And you--
I love you so much.
And you, I should be
jealous of you
Because you're so hot.
But I'm not.
I'm not.
I promise you I'm not.
I'm not. I promise.
No, I'm not.
'cause you know what?
All I feel in here
is love. I just--
I am feeling--
I'm full of love.
So much love.
I'm wearing
too many clothes.
Uh, I got this.
Oh!
You sure you don't want
to reconsider?
I think I'm ok.
I'm just gonna--
I really just
want to go home.
Hey, kid.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
I just, uh...
Yeah.
You know?
I know.
I know.
Good.
Because I mean it.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Reid: "just as the constant
increase of entropy
"is the basic law
of the universe,
"so it is
the basic law of life
To struggle against entropy."
Vaclav havel.
on "criminal minds"...
You're part of
an interconnected
group of hitmen
Working together online.
How many of them
are you?
Besides me, quatro.
The last time we talked,
you hinted
That this was
your next target--
The dirty dozen.
Who are they?
You're the dirty dozen?
But if they're as good
as I think they are,
No one can stop them.
Director cochran, do you mind
if we borrow your pen?
Something tells me
the access codes
To the darknet servers
are in there.
I'm scared.
What's going on?
There's been a major
break in the case
Of the hitmen
hunting you.
There has?
And we may have
found a way to bring
The whole network down.

Spencer?
Hi!
Cat?
Hi.
Hi.
Nice to finally--
hello. Hi. Hi.
Oh--sorry, I have a--
a germ thing.
Oh.
I'm kind of weird
with hu-hugs.
Sorry.
Can I sit down?
Yes, please.
Oh, yeah. Of course.
Sit down.
First time doing this?
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
Yeah, I--I still
get nervous, too.
Really, it wasn't
until an hour ago
that I was like,
Wait, we've been trading
emails back and forth,
But I still have no idea
what this guy looks like.
Hence the...
I know. And then
I was like, wait,
He's going to bring
a red rose,
So we need to go
to a nicer place,
Which is why I switched
the restaurant
last-minute--
Not a problem at all.
And now I need to change
and put something nice on
For this place, 'cause
I was totally underdressed,
And my whole wardrobe
makes me look like
a kardashian.
You know know
who that is, do you?
No, oh, yeah,
robert kardashian.
He got o.J. Simpson off.
You--you don't look like
his daughters.
Yeah, no, I was making
a joke about them.
No, it was good.
It was a good joke.
It was funny.
No, it wasn't.
[both chuckle]
Can we start over?
Hi, I'm cat.
Hi--hi, I'm [laughs]--
I'm spencer.
It really is
nice to meet you,
In person, finally.
It's nice to meet you.
Tell me a little bit
about yourself.
Do you really have
3 ph.D.S?
Yes. Um, I--yeah, I do,
I have 3 ph.D.S.
What was your favorite
book that you read
last year?
Um, honestly, I've never
read a book I didn't love.
Tell me about your wife.
If you don't mind,
I'd, uh,
I'd rather not
talk about her.
Might as well get it
out in the open, right?
That's why we're here.
How long have you
been married?
4 years.
When is she due
to give birth?
[clears throat]
Uh...A couple of--
A couple of months.
Should we talk
about price now, or...
Slow down, tiger.
What exactly are we
negotiating here?
You know.
I want to hear you say it.
[whispering]
to have her killed.
Let me see your ring.
You know what that is?
A noose.
Only it doesn't kill you
all at once.
It kills you slowly,
Day by day.
You ever feel that way?
I feel that way
all the time.
Take it off.
Why?
As a sign
of your commitment.
To me.
If she sticks to pattern,
she'll take him
to a secondary location
And kill him.
We're not gonna let it
get that far.
Hotch, do you have
a visual?
Just hacked in.
All right, we have you
over her left shoulder.
Do you copy?
All right,
all agents stand by.
Dr. Reid will give
the green light.
Don't move
until we have it.
24-karat?
Mm-hmm.
24k times...
4 years
Means this ring
should be
dinged and nicked.
But the sucker
is brand-new.
You're not married.
[click]
What was that?
Was that what I think it was?
Everybody hold.
Why are we here,
spencer?
We're here because
you belong to a network
Of 4 hitmen who've been
operating in the shadows
Of the internet.
You're know as miss .45.
My team and I have been
hunting for months,
And I knew
that if I boxed you in,
I could arrest you with
as little resistance
as possible.
Your team being
the behavioral analysis
unit of the fbi?
You guys are good.
You're the only ones
that got close to us.
But we got kind of
close to you, too,
didn't we?
Hi, penelope.
Do you know why
I'm so good at my job?
Because you kill
without compunction
or remorse.
That only gets a girl
so far in life.
No, it's because
I think through
every potential outcome
And then I plan
accordingly.
You see, I didn't
walk into your trap.
You walked into mine.
Where's your head,
spencer?
What are you
thinking about?
I was thinking about entropy.
Mm-hmm.
It's the thermodynamic measure
Of the degradation of matter
and energy in the universe.
To put it another way--
There's your gun.
Good evening.
Hi, uh, you know what?
We've been having
So much fun getting
to know one another,
We'll let you know
when we're ready, ok?
Thank you.
Now that we got that
out of the way,
will you do me a favor
And tell blondie
mcblonderson over there
At the bar to disappear.
Jj, stand down.
Thanks for playing,
sweetie.
If she learns how many agents
we have outside,
she'll start shooting.
Dave, get ready
to take her out.
Yeah.
Reid, do not let her
get up from the table.
All right,
you're in charge.
Tell me what you want
and I'll see if I can
get it here for you.
Anything I want?
Anything you want.
Like a million dollars
in unmarked bills,
Maybe a plane to aruba?
Is that what you want?
And you'll say
you'll bring it here,
But the real plan
is to distract me
From what is, I'm sure,
an impressive
Law enforcement response
just outside that door.
Is that the plan?
That's the plan.
Ok, let's talk,
but let's talk
About something
interesting, at least.
Tell me about me.
You?
You're a black widow
hitwoman.
You specialize in seduction
and you're patient.
You learn everything
you can about the men
you're hired to kill,
Physically, psychologically,
and emotionally,
Because you want them
in as compromised
a position as possible
So they don't see it coming
when you pull the trigger.
And when I do it really
well, they pull the trigger
themselves.
Give me your phone.
Why?
Because I know
what I want now.
I want to play
a game with you.
You like games?
I do.
I always win.
Do you win?
Give it to me.
Ok, here's my game.
You have 30 minutes
to answer every
question I ask.
And if you lie,
I'll know.
Because I've spent
the past 10 years
of my life
Studying men
and their lies
Before I kill them.
Do you believe me?
I do.
That was true.
You're getting this.
Now, here's how we'll
know who wins at the end
of 30 minutes.
If you win, you'll drag me
out of here in handcuffs.
But if I win,
you will escort me out
Like a gentleman,
To make sure
I exit safely.
What do you say,
spencer?
Think you can
win this one?
Considering everything
you've put garcia
And so many people through,
You're going to have to
shoot me in the face
Before you walk
out of here.
Game on.
Oh, boy.
Reid: What do you want
to ask me?
How you found me,
of course.
A professional learns
from her mistakes.
We got our big break
in the case
At the end of last year.
I didn't learn how big
until I came back
from some time off.
Why'd you take time off?
Boy: Higher, mommy, higher!
Mom: Careful, sweetheart.
Higher, mommy, higher!
[doorbell rings]
Hi.
Hey, you!
Welcome back.
Come in.
Thank you.
I know
you're not a hugger.
I don't care.
Hey, get your greasy
hands off my girl.
Nice to have you home, kid.
Good to be back.
[laughs]
let me get my stuff.
That thing you called about,
here's some updated stats.
Thanks.
Morgan: Stats?
Stats from what?
Medical research.
Shop talk.
Things you wouldn't
be interested in.
Well, I can tell you
what I am interested in,
And that is you.
You gonna love me
forever?
Yes, I am.
Forever ever?
For ever, ever, ever.
Guys. Garcia and hotch
need us asap
For a briefing
on the 4 hitmen.
What?
Stop.
You didn't tell me
why you took time off.
It's not relevant.
That's not the game.
The game is
You answer every
question I ask.
Is it a secret?
No.
Is it dirty?
Then tell me.
No.
It's not important
to your story.
Out of curiosity,
is it me you don't
want to tell
Or the people
listening in?
Is this really how
you want to spend
your 30 minutes?
Yes.
No.
Ok, so you were saying
You showed up for work
that morning and...
We learned that someone
unexpected decided to talk.
And who would that be?
Brian cochran from the nsa.
I've placed him on
24/7 lockdown
at usp terre haute.
The network has proven
that they can kill
anyone, anywhere, anytime,
And now that they've
targeted garcia,
We can't afford
to lose another lead.
Cochran used one of the hitmen
to target dea supervisor graff.
But we can press him
on that to get him
to cooperate.
Well, fortunately
that won't be necessary.
He had a breakdown
in solitary confinement
And he was already willing
to make a deal.
We need to go talk to him.
Garcia and I already did.
This is, we
video-conferenced with him.
He was limited in what
he could tell us
About the hit people.
He didn't know their names,
But he did know all of
their areas of expertise.
How specific do they get?
Most successful hitmen
are basically just
swiss army knives of murder.
Well, take the o.G. Hit guy
who got us into this mess,
Giuseppe montolo.
Remember him?
He was a genius at making
hits look like an accident.
The others, depends
what you're looking for.
Take the guy that's
still out there
Who's responsible
for shooting poor mr. Graff.
He's known simply
as the sniper.
He can make a t-zone shot
from over 2,000 meters.
Which means
he's ex-military.
Not necessarily ours,
but he's definitely
trained.
So who's number two?
Garcia: That would be
the chemist.
He works with poison.
[toilet flushes]
He specializes in hits
that don't leave a trace.
[groans]
He sounds delightful.
What about number 3?
Well, that would be
the bomber.
According to cochran,
he's responsible for this.
It's a chemical fire
in tianjin, china.
Apparently a bureaucrat
didn't pay his bribe on time.
You know that's
conspiracy theory garbage.
But what is credible
is cochran's insistence
That he was trained
by mossad.
Jack garrett's
following up on leads.
That leaves us
with number 4,
The one with the highest
body count of them all.
And who's that?
Me.
Yes.
Wow, that was really
impressive.
Yeah, the way you just
made all those brilliant
deductions
With all that information
That was just handed to you
on a silver platter.
Quick question--are you guys
really profilers
Or are you just lucky?
Because this,
what I'm about to say--
[clears throat]
is profiling.
The reason you took time
off from work
Was to deal with the same
girl who broke your heart.
No.
The death
of a parent, then.
No.
Ah, hello,
I'm getting close.
It's mom or dad
in the billiard room
with the candlestick.
Oh, you're mad at me,
aren't you?
Yes, you are, I can tell.
Not even a little bit.
No offense, but you're not
really worth getting angry at.
So you figured out
what the 4 of us did,
and then what?
We profiled that you
operated as spokes on a wheel.
Somehow it had to be
centralized,
How you got jobs,
who paid you.
Somebody did all that
for you.
You found the snowman,
didn't you?
Great. So who's this
snowman jagoff?
Cochran says
he's the I.T. Expert.
He's the key
to the whole network.
But if he set it up, he's not
just gonna tear it down
because we ask nicely.
He will because he was
kidnapped by one of
the hitmen
And held against his will
in a safe house.
Jj: I wonder how
that feels.
Even if they have him
under duress,
He's still gonna be
impossible to find.
We will find him...
With this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I'm confused.
What just happened there?
When we arrested cochran,
we found a flash drive,
One that gave us access
to a specific shadow
of the darknet,
One we didn't even
know existed.
Oh, put a ring on it
before you decide
to do that.
Oh, that's flashy.
It's certainly cocky.
Yeah, it's smart,
but it's risky.
He's taking security flaws
from his own code
And then exploiting them
as another level of security.
If I didn't know any better,
I'd think he was having fun.
He wouldn't do this
if his life depended
on it, unless...
He's young.
Yeah, and based on this,
like high school young.
Reid: Garcia used it
to find the website
That snowman set up
for all of you.
Once we had the website,
we had geography,
Specifically, the safe house
you were keeping him in.
So we waited until
the shift change
When we knew we could take
two of you down at once.
Fbi! Everybody down!
[gunshot]
uhh!
Fbi!
Don't!
[indistinct]
It's ok. We got you.
What is this?
What's going on?
Welcome to the fbi, kid.
Well, well, well,
you took the chemist
and the sniper
Out of commission, huh?
Did you know?
I knew something was off.
They didn't bid
on some contracts.
And this isn't
the kind of job
Where you get to take
time off to be with your...
Mother?
Is it your mom?
It's gotta be your mom.
Why'd you take time off
from the fbi?
I'm not gonna tell you.
Spencer, why did you
take time off
From the fbi?
You can ask me as many
times as you want,
And you can continue
to waste your time,
But I'm still not
gonna tell you.
Then you're cheating,
and I don't like cheaters.
You don't get everything
you want just because
You're pointing a gun at me
under a table.
You're not the first killer
to point a gun at me.
You're not even the first
woman to point a gun at me.
Sorry.
You're really gonna
take this all the way,
aren't you?
So am I.
Yeah.
Dave, go.
Look at my face.
Does it look like
I'm bluffing?
I know you're not bluffing.
I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
Before you say no,
I want you
to consider something.
[microphone squeals]
She muffled the mike.
We lost audio.
I'll kill the fed
walking toward me first.
A stationary target's
easier to hit. After that
it's a free-fire zone.
Fine, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
Sorry, what was that?
Rossi, stand down.
Please.
[indistinct chatter]
Welcome to the locker room.
I hate the locker room.
My mom has schizophrenia,
And the doctor has changed
her medication,
Which seemed to agitate her,
And so I went to the treatment
center to help her.
That's it?
That's it.
You just risked your life
over mommy's pills?
It's the truth.
It's part of the truth.
You're holding
something back.
Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna penalize you
By adding 10 minutes.
And keep in mind
that the only reason
you're not dead right now
Is because I did learn
something important.
Oh, really? What's that?
Your backup.
I flushed them out.
It's just
you and me now.
Guess again, bitch.
So when we left off,
the score was you had
two of our guys
And the snowman.
You must have thought
you were home free.
No. If anything,
the case was harder.
I can't tell you much
about them.
It's not like we had
a lot of heart-to-heart
conversations
While they handcuffed me
to a computer.
Do you know
any of their names?
No. But I know
their bank accounts.
How long do you
think we have
Before the other two
realize the network's
been compromised?
Two days, maybe.
They like being
independent contractors,
So they always work jobs
separately.
And, uh, they rely on me
to coordinate
all their online traffic.
Yeah.
Which I can help fake.
We have the facade
covered on our end,
But they also have
back channel communications
That I can't account for.
Especially the bomber.
Why him?
I don't know.
All I know is
when they would rotate
watching over me,
He never showed.
I know why. He's paranoid.
Most explosive experts are.
Blow everything up,
you live in fear
that you're next.
We need to lure out
the hitwoman.
If we can take her alive,
she'll lead us
to the bomber.
We have to give her a target
worth coming out of hiding for.
That means me,
doesn't it?
Sir--
no.
Garcia,
that's not gonna happen.
It's too dangerous
To leave you out there
exposed like that.
You have a record
of all the kills
she was paid for?
I have records
of everything.
All right. Even
a contract killer
can have a victimology,
A pattern of which
she's not aware.
We need to find that.
But first we had to get
the data that we needed
from the snowman.
From that we could start
to build the profile
that would lead us to you.
When we knew what
we were looking for,
the pattern was obvious.
These 3 hits--they were
all men who wanted
to kill their wives.
That's the oldest
motivation in the book.
Why are they special?
She took their money,
then killed the men
who hired her.
All 3 of them
had children.
Maybe children are the line
hitmen won't cross?
The chemist and the sniper
both performed jobs
that involved families.
Theoretically,
if the price is high enough,
A hitman shouldn't
have morals.
I think these kills
are personal to her.
Personal enough to risk
double-crossing her contract.
Maybe something similar
happened to her.
And that's how we get her
to come to the table.
I pretend to be
that kind of client.
How do we know
that's gonna work?
We don't.
It's a calculated risk
Based on her m.O.,
which is categorically
different than the men.
They're cold, clinical,
long-distance.
She's up close
and personal.
She knows that she
has to be more careful
Because she actually
wants to kill her targets.
I'm going to pretend
to be a husband
Who wants his
pregnant wife dead.
Well, I'd want to kill
you if you told me that.
Exactly. Then all
we have to do is set
the right meeting spot.
A bar or a restaurant
we control
So the odds are better
of us taking her alive.
That's our best strategy.
But there is one flaw.
You. You're the flaw.
You're not married
and you don't have
children.
I'm the person on my team
who's the closest to your age,
And I knew that if I lost
control of the situation,
You'd be more likely
to negotiate with a peer.
You have zero control
here. None.
I outflanked you
from the beginning.
Some of your moves
were pretty obvious.
Such as?
Such as showing up armed.
Such as changing the venue
at the last moment.
I needed a restaurant
full of innocents
in case this was a trap.
If you really suspected
this was a trap,
Then why show up at all?
Even when you first
laid eyes on me,
From the bar, from outside,
from wherever you were,
You should have
seen through me
And kept on moving,
but you didn't.
You couldn't.
Because you can't
get to the man
You really want to hurt,
So you need to hurt any man
who reminds you of him.
That's kind of boilerplate
psychology, isn't it?
I'm just another girl
with daddy issues.
You'd be surprised
how many killers
Do what they do
because of their parents.
If it's so boilerplate,
why don't we test
that theory?
How hard did you
look for him?
Very hard.
And how disappointed
were you
When you realized
that you will never find him?
You needed some other
outlet for your rage,
And for a while this worked,
but it also tripped you up.
Can I tell you
a little secret?
Everything eventually
falls apart.
The trick is accepting
When it's over.
[stopwatch rings]
Except it ain't over,
is it?
Do you really think
I'm just gonna let you
walk out of here?
You profiled so much
about me,
Except you forgot
to ask the most
important question.
Why would I make you
sit here for 30 minutes?
Because you're stalling.
Then you don't
know me at all.
Did you guys show up here
without an escape plan?
Or is that what
just another girl
with daddy issues do?
Maybe if you hadn't
fallen victim
to your own gender bias,
And, yes, all men
have gender bias,
even you, dr. Reid,
You would have recognized
that your entire strategy
Was based on one
faulty detail.
Can you see it?
They like being
independent contractors,
So they always worked jobs
separately.
You're not here alone.
And my partner?
Less paranoid
than you think.
You planted a bomb
in the building.
We're on the move.
I didn't. My job was
to keep your entire team
focused on us,
So he could do
what he does best.
Jj: Hotch, we've got
interconnected
c-4 charges down here.
How many?
There's 6 charges.
They're connected
To the city's gas line.
She could take out
the whole block.
There are innocent
people here.
Yes, there are.
So let me remind you
what we're playing for.
Not only will I
walk out of here,
But you will make sure
I leave safely.
And from where
I'm sitting...
It looks like I've won.
You need to pay
attention to this part.
I'm going to tell you
the terms of my victory.
I want you to move
all of your backup
away from this building.
If I walk out of here
and I see one cop,
I will incinerate us all.
Spencer--
I can't do that.
It's not me. What you're
asking takes time.
This is to whoever's
in charge.
Unless you guys
want to be responsible
For the biggest
fbi disaster since waco,
You will back off now.
Watch this.
Jj, say again. The bomb
has a cell phone trigger?
That's right. All
she has to do is call
the number and boom.
Not from here, no.
Can you jam the signal?
The failsafe
will still kick in.
Same outcome--
can't move 'em,
can't submerge 'em.
It'll take us hours
to get the gas turned off
on the whole block.
If we alert anyone,
then the panic could
set her and the bomb off.
Jj: Swat's on the radio
with the bomb squad.
They say our only chance
is to get our hands
on that cell phone.
If we shut down
the trigger, we can
remove the charges.
Go ahead, hotch.
Morgan.
Does she have a cell phone
with her?
I don't think so.
I didn't see her
pull one out.
The bomber was setting
this up while we were
all up here.
I think he's holding
the stick.
We're combing the block.
He could be anywhere, though.
Where's lewis?
Do not overreact.
Do not rush.
Simply give every patron
their check
And tell them there's been
an unforeseen problem
in the kitchen
That cannot be resolved.
Their dinner has been paid for
And they should leave calmly
And at their earliest
possible convenience.
Got it?
Mm-hmm.
Yes, ma'am.
Great.
You. Come with me.
That table there,
You leave alone.
Look at that.
There they go.
All we want to do--
Minimize the collateral
damage. I get it.
I'm not mad.
It'll give me
the cover I need
To slip out.
I just need to know
it's clear,
So do me a favor
and tell your boss
That nobody leaves
until it's safe
for me to.
Reid, perimeter agents
are pulling back.
You have to let her go.
Well?
Repeat--all agents,
do not engage or pursue
Until the bomb is defused.
Spencer...
You can leave.
But you won't.
I'm sorry?
Double or nothing.
You need to sit back down.
Reid, what are you doing?
Wow,
now you're stalling.
You played your trump card,
but I have one, too.
Thanks for dinner.
I had fun.
I found your father.
No, you didn't.
Look at my face.
Am I bluffing?
I'll tell you where he is.
But you need to sit back down
And listen to the rest
of my story.
No. Tell me now.
Or I'll--
Detonate the bomb?
You're not gonna do that, cat,
Because then you won't learn
anything.
You said you were good
at your job
Because you think through
every outcome.
Well, guess what--
so do I.
All right.
Finish the story.
To prepare for this dinner,
I had to learn
everything about you,
Starting with your real name.
Foster care records locked,
loaded, and searchable.
According to
the emails she sent me
setting up tonight,
Her name is cat.
So let's assume
her name is catherine.
Give me more.
Suspicious death for mom,
And her dad most likely
went away for manslaughter.
Keep it coming.
Rampant abuse.
She would have been
in a world of pain.
Sadly that does not rule out
any catherines.
Her first kills
were most likely in
the foster environment.
Cross-reference
all those families
The catherines
went into with
accidental deaths
Of foster dads,
and focus on those
That have multiple
abuse complaints
leveled against them.
Ding.
Catherine adams.
Daughter of daniel adams,
Who did in fact
leave the country in 1987
But returned in 2012.
Based on confidential
records in rehabs
and sober living houses,
Which in turned pointed us
to flophouses
and soup kitchens.
He couldn't put 24 hours
together sober.
And you can probably
imagine my surprise
When I discovered
that he actually
Lives right here in d.C.
Where?
It's not that simple.
He was in bad shape
when I found him.
Is your name daniel adams?
Who wants to know?
My name is spencer reid.
I'm with the fbi
And I'd love to ask you
a few questions.
Leave me alone.
I'm just trying
to sleep.
Mr. Adams, I just need
to ask you a few questions
About your daughter.
Who?
Your daughter, catherine.
You don't recognize her,
do you?
I think you got
the wrong man, pal.
He didn't remember me?
The alcoholism
shredded his brain.
I'm sorry.
You're not sorry.
Sorry is what people say
when they don't understand.
Wait.
Your mother--tell me.
Is--is this part
of the game?
No. The game's over.
When I looked at
her medical chart,
It--it didn't make
any sense.
The medication
that they gave her
Should have been helping,
But I couldn't figure out
what was making her so angry.
So, I, uh,
I went to see her.
The moment
I walked in her room,
I saw it.
For 3 seconds...
She didn't know
who I was.
I, um, I had her tested
that morning,
And I found out that night...
That she had early onset
of dementia.
Most likely alzheimer's.
Did you test yourself?
No, you didn't.
You were too scared.
Did you know?
No.
I thought I dodged a bullet
when I turned 30
And didn't have
a schizophrenic break
like her,
But, uh, this is somehow
bigger and scarier
Because I can actually
see it happening.
All the memories
that we used to share
Are just dying.
I can't stop it.
I can't help her.
All I can do
Is find people
that I can help.
Is that really why
you showed up tonight?
To help me?
Do you know
how many men
have told me
That they wanted
to help me?
How do you think
that worked out for them?
[beeping]
Hotch,
she just armed the bomb.
Hotch, we need to pull back.
Oh, my god, oh, my god,
oh, my god.
Morgan, get out of there.
Lewis: Hotch, we might
have a lead here.
She hasn't touched anything
to arm the bomb.
That means the bomber's
here, somewhere
in the restaurant.
All right, if you can
take him, do so, but
the priority is evacuation.
I'm not even sure
if it is a him.
Cat mentioned something
about gender bias,
So that could apply
to the bomber as well.
All right, she'd have to be
in a position to maintain
Line of sight
on reid all night.
Who do you see?
Look for anyone
with their phone out.
That's the detonator.
Our woman will
give herself away
by looking over.
You're right.
You don't need my help.
You don't need anyone's help.
You are completely
in control.
I've got her.
Blue dress.
By the bar.
Hey, you know what,
baby?
Let's get out of here.
I'm not really
feeling this place.
Really? I kind of liked it.
I want to take you
to a spot where
we can do some dancing.
Oh! Uhh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Ohh!
Uhh!
[beep]
Hotch, we're clear.
Reid's not.
Don't!
Fbi. Everybody
stay calm, please.
We're gonna be
smart about this
And talk it out.
Aren't we, cat?
That's up to you.
Lewis: Move.
Get everyone out of here.
[indistinct shouting]
Morgan, you, too.
I'm not going
anywhere.
Guess we're right back
where we started.
You and me with a gun.
No.
Reid, it's time.
We don't have a choice.
We have to do it.
Morgan, shut up.
Do what?
There's one thing
he hasn't told you yet.
That's not true.
He's lying.
Don't listen to him.
Nothing. I told you--
nothing!
What haven't you told me?
Nothing!
What don't I know?
We brought your father here.
Here?
He's here?
He's right outside.
Reid thought he needed
Every bargaining chip
he could get.
Morgan, I'm begging you,
don't. Don't.
Every bargaining chip
he could get
to convince you
To do the right thing.
How is this
the right thing?
Your father
killed your mother.
And there's no statute
of limitations on murder,
So you really need
to think about
your options right now.
You shoot him,
I will kill you.
Or if you surrender,
you will live
To testify
against your father.
That's not good enough.
We can arrange it
for the two of you
To drive into
custody together,
And then you can remind
him of who you are.
If you give her this,
she wins. Don't do it.
Kid, I am trying
to save your life.
Now let me do that.
[beeping outside]
They're bringing him in
right now.
[beeping]
Man: Move that van.
You're really upset
about this, aren't you?
This is what you
wanted, isn't it,
A chance to finally
hurt the man
who deserves it?
They all deserve it.
He deserves it the most.
Only if spencer
escorts me out.
Deal.
Yeah.
Morgan: Hotch?
We're coming out.
Ok, you're all clear.
You want to go home?
Wait.
Ok, I'm ready.
You lied to me.
If it makes you feel
any better, I really--
I did look for him.
But...I couldn't
find him, so, yeah,
I did make it all up.
Not all of it.
You don't pull a story
about a parent
Losing her memory
out of nowhere.
Your mother
and the alzheimer's,
that's true.
I won.
How so?
Because I will
get out of here.
Yeah, in 20 years, maybe,
if you're lucky.
Yeah, that's fine.
You know why?
Because in 20 years...
I'll remember your name,
But you won't remember mine.
[engine starts]
[doors clang shut]
Officer: All right!
So...
You want to come in,
Decompress a bit?
I'm good.
I'm probably just
gonna go home.
That was an intense case.
Yeah.
It's over.
Network's gone.
Yeah.
Reid.
That medical research
that savannah gave you,
Was that...
Yeah.
You are gonna get
yourself tested, aren't you?
One of the data points
that her research
told me about was age.
I'm, uh, too young
to display
the chromosomal signs,
So I'm just gonna
have to...
Learn to live
not knowing.
[door opens]
Oh, my god.
Oh, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What is happening
right now?
You're what's going on.
Right now is what's--
You are here.
Do you know what's
happening right now?
It is--it is done.
The dirty dozen is done.
Yes, done.
I'm in it!
It's...
How much
did she have?
She started out
with jaeger.
I love you.
Jaeger? Ok.
I love you.
And you--
I love you so much.
And you, I should be
jealous of you
Because you're so hot.
But I'm not.
I'm not.
I promise you I'm not.
I'm not. I promise.
No, I'm not.
'cause you know what?
All I feel in here
is love. I just--
I am feeling--
I'm full of love.
So much love.
I'm wearing
too many clothes.
Uh, I got this.
Oh!
You sure you don't want
to reconsider?
I think I'm ok.
I'm just gonna--
I really just
want to go home.
Hey, kid.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
I just, uh...
Yeah.
You know?
I know.
I know.
Good.
Because I mean it.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Reid: "just as the constant
increase of entropy
"is the basic law
of the universe,
"so it is
the basic law of life
To struggle against entropy."
Vaclav havel.
