Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 12 - Drive - full transcript

[sirens]

Woman: [laughing]
yeah, I got the good stuff.

Yeah, I said yes.

Later. [laughs]

Sorry.

Here, I'll get that.

Oh.

[sniffles]

It's really sweet of you
to walk me to my door.

Thanks again.

Well, good night.



Uh...

Ok...Take care.

So...

You like champagne.

What?

Champagne.

You have expensive tastes.

We're done here.
You need to go--

Aah! Aah! Aah...

Wow!

I haven't seen
one of these beauties
in a long time.

It looks mint.

Thank you.

Who's your
restoration guy?



Oh, um,
you're looking at him.

My dad has
an auto repair shop.

He taught me
everything I know.

It took me 5 years
to restore this puppy.

Impressive.

I inherited
my uncle's '47 buick.

Now, that is a sweet ride.

Sure, but I don't
have to tell you,

Original parts are
rarer than hens' teeth.

I'm still looking for
a...Radio antenna knob.

It's funny, it's like
we can track down

The world's most dangerous
and elusive unsubs,

But we can't find
that one specific car part.

Yeah, but it's worth it.

I mean, what's better
than cruisin'
with the windows down,

Wind in your hair,
music playing,

Sinatra, bennett,
dean martin.

Hendrix, zeppelin,
anything by the doors.

Just you and the open road.

Nothing but time
on your hands.

[cell phones beeping]

And...Duty calls.

Indeed.

Boston p.D.'s
requested our help.
Garcia?

Ok, uh, this case is not
for the faint of heart.

So if I faint, that's why.

Uh, a week ago,
the headless body

Of 20-year-old lily chang

Was discovered
in a playground
in roxbury,

Then two days ago
45-year-old denise wagner

Was discovered
in the north end.

Her body, sans head,
was left on an old couch
by the curb.

The north end
and roxbury

Are two distinct
neighborhoods
in boston.

They're only 5.1 miles
apart geographically,

But they're worlds apart

In terms of racial
and socio-economic makeup.

Did the women live
in the neighborhoods
where the bodies were found?

No. Lily lived across
over in cambridge,

And denise was from
beacon hill.

Well, the unsub
must have used a van
or other vehicle

To transport the bodies.

Not to be indelicate,
but any sign of the heads?

No, nothing yet.

The media must be
having a field day.

Oh, you could say that.

Oh, well,
not nearly as clever

As that infamous
"new york post" headline:

"headless body
in topless bar."

He dumped the bodies
in public,

So he obviously
wants them found.

But why?
What's the endgame?

Maybe he's getting off
on shocking whoever
finds the bodies.

Spreading panic
and fear.

Well, he didn't take
their handbags,

Jewelry, or wallets.

No, the only thing missing
was their cell phones.

Well, that and their heads.

All right, so robbery's
not a motive,

And there's no evidence
of sexual assault, either.

But why these women,
and how did the unsub
cross paths with them?

That's what he need
to find out before
he strikes again.

Wheels up in 30.

Please.

Please, why are you
doing this?

No--I--I will put it back.

[gasps]

Oh, no! [sobbing]

Oh, my god, no, no.

No, no, no,
no, no, no, no!

Aah! No!

Please! Please
just let me go!

I'll never do it again!
I swear!

I swear! [sobbing]

Oh, my god. No.

I swear. I swear.

Aah!

Reid: "to educate
a person in the mind

"but not in morals

Is to educate
a menace to society."

Theodore roosevelt.

Both women were low-risk
lifestyle victims,

But if there's any connection
between them, I'm not seeing it.

Well, the first victim,
lily chang, was a chemistry
major at m.I.T.

She was last seen
tutoring kids in
an afterschool program.

Denise wagner was a banker,

Divorced, lived
with her teenage son.

She disappeared after
speaking at an investment
seminar.

Cutting off someone's head
isn't easy.

Why pick that method
to kill?

Terrorist groups often
use beheadings

To send a message
or a warning.

Historically it's been
used for that purpose,

Starting with the ancient
greeks and romans.

In 11th century England
beheading by sword

Was introduced by
william the conqueror.

And of course thousands
of people were beheaded

During the french
revolution,

Including louis xvi
and marie antoinette.

Could the be the work of
a terrorist cell on u.S. Soil?

None have claimed
responsibility.

So what's he doing
with the heads?

He could be keeping them
as human trophies,

Or like jeffrey dahmer
and dennis nilsen,

He might have partialism
and he's using them

For his sexual gratification.

Or they could be giving him
a sense of ownership

Over his victims.

Maybe he's got
an exaggerated fear

Of female rejection
and a severed head

Can't talk back
or say no.

Those are all valid theories,
but we have to ask ourselves,

Why is he killing now?

Garcia: Sir, a body
of a third headless woman

Was found in boston.

Her name is amy gibb.
She was a bartender

At the seaport.

Where was the body found?

On a bench
in boston common.

The commons is right
in the heart of downtown.

The unsub couldn't have
picked a more public place.

Lily chang was killed
a week ago,

Denise wagner
two days ago,

And now amy gibb.

Garcia, tell boston p.D.
We're on our way

And to preserve
the crime scene.

And, baby girl,
search for men in boston

And the tri-state area

With criminal histories
of sex crimes.

Concentrate on those with
fetishes involving heads.

I'm on it,
but I feel icky already.

All right, when we land,
morgan, you and reid go
to the latest crime scene.

Dave, you and jj find out
what you can from the m.E.,

And lewis and I will get set
up with local authorities.

[indistinct chatter]

Morgan: Excuse us.
Fbi, let us through.

Hey, is this the work of
the beantown beheader?

Does the fbi have any leads?
Where are the heads?

No comment.

Vultures out
in full force today.

Detective connie lawlor.

Ssa derek morgan.

This is dr. Spencer reid.

Who found her?

Couple of teenagers.

My partner brought them
down to the station.

Bet they wish they
hadn't cut school today.

Cutting off
somebody's head.

Wicked brutal
if you ask me.

It's also messy.
But there's minimal blood here.

Same as the first
two crime scenes.

The unsub most likely
has a secluded place

To do his work
before displaying the bodies.

Bruising and swelling
on both their hands.

Maybe she tried
to fight him off.

Well, it doesn't appear
she was dragged
through the grass,

So the unsub obviously
has the strength
to carry the body.

Without the head,
the body would be
a lot lighter.

Not necessarily.
The average adult human head

Only weighs approximately
10 pounds.

Well, we had a canine unit
out searching for hers.

Did you find any
personal effects?

Like the first two
victims,

He left the jewelry
in her bag,

Money and credit cards.

What about a cell phone?

We didn't find one.

I think they're burn marks,

Most likely from taser prongs.

The others had 'em, too.

Well, it's gotta be how
he overwhelms his victims.

He's getting close enough
to make contact.

Yeah, but how?

Man: I'm sorry I'm late.

She's in here.

Cut looks clean, surgical.

As if amy's head
was taken off
with a single blow.

Do you need to have
a medical background
to do this?

Not necessarily,
but you'd need something
razor sharp

To achieve this precise
a wound.

The unsub would need
a powerful swing,

Not to mention
great aim.

Jj: It looks like
her knuckles are broken.

They are. The other victims
have the same injury.

Defensive wounds, possibly,

Or they could have been
trying to punch their way
out of someplace.

In that instance,
other bones in the hands
would have been broken,

But these wounds are
localized to the knuckles.

Like they were repeatedly
hit with something.

Premortem torture.

He's punishing them
before he beheads them.

Now, the second victim,
denise wagner,

Has the same precise
severed neck.

However, the beheading
of lily chang is
dramatically different.

How so?

See how jagged and frayed
the skin ligaments
are cartilage are?

That's an indication
that the killer used
a sawing motion

Back and forth
to remove her head.

She's the first victim.
He's learned since
what works best.

There's no evidence
that the women
were drugged or sedated,

Which means that they...

Were awake
while it was happening.

I'm afraid so.

Here you go, mr. Gibb.

Thank you.

When the police called,

I thought it was someone
playing a sick joke.

Then they came to
the house and said they
found amy's wallet...

Mr. Gibb, if you could
tell us about your daughter,

It might help
our investigation.

Amy was...

She's everything
a parent
could hope for.

Oh, she was smart.

And beautiful.

And kind.

She lit up every room
just by walking in.

But there were
some problems?

She'd been
a little lost lately.

Lost? How so?

Uh...She was depressed.

My wife, amy's mother,

She died a few months ago.

They were very close.

When was the last time
you talked to your daughter?

Well, it was last night.

Uh, she, uh,
was on her way home
from work.

Where's that?

Jensen's. It's a restaurant
in the seaport district.

She called me from
the t at midnight.

I told her I didn't like
her taking it so late,

But she's say
I worried too much.

I told her that's
my job, you know?

Yeah...

I know.

Go ahead, garcia.

Sir, the list of men
in boston with
a history of sex crimes

Is long, disturbingly so.

But none of them
with a noggin fetish.

What did gps tell you about
the victims' cell phones?

Uh, amy's phone

Last pinged
at her front door in fenway.

Lily and denise's phones

Each stopped pinging
on different streets
in south boston.

Lawlor:
We locals call it southie.

Garcia: Here's something
that's the same
across the board.

All 3 women, minutes before
their cell phones died,

They were talking
on the phone.

We need to know
who those victims
spoke to last.

Copy that.

Amy worked
at the seaport.
That's in southie.

So was the school
where lily tutored

And the convention
center where denise
attended a seminar.

It could be the neighborhood
that's important to him.

You know, southie's still
predominantly working-class
irish-american.

However, long-time residents
there are struggling
to hold on

To their homes and
traditions in the face
of gentrification.

Fancy word for organic
grocery stores, condos,
and juice bars.

Amy took the t
about about midnight.

The unsub could have
followed her home.

If lily and denise
also took the train,

Maybe that's where
he grabbed them.

He used a taser.
Too risky in the subway.

Amy couldn't have taken
the t at that time.
Service was shut down.

But arthur gibb said
he spoke to her there.
Garcia?

And he did. Gps confirms
that amy was at the station.

But detective lawlor
is correct.

Right after amy arrived,

Service on that line
was disrupted
due to a track fire.

Where did amy go
after that?

I have her moving away
from the station,

Arriving at her house
20 minutes later.

That's when the signal dies.

Maybe she took
the bus home?

It would have taken her
longer than 20 minutes.

Garcia, did she call
a taxi or car service?

She did. She ordered a car
from a ride-share company
called zimmer,

But she canceled it
minutes later.

So how did amy get home?

Wait, wait. Hey, hey, hey!

Listen, I'll pay cash
and double the tip

If you drive me
to dorchester.
Name your price.

The car I ordered
is 10 minutes away
and I gotta get home.

Get in.

Yes!

Man, you just saved my life.
You have no idea.

Amy gibb's father
said she was depressed

And a little lost
after her mother died,

But what he didn't mention
is that a month ago

She got caught
for shoplifting.

Research has shown
a direct correlation

Between shoplifting
and depression.

It's often a reaction
to some kind of loss
or need to fill a void.

All right, well,
the second victim,

Denise wagner, just
had her assets frozen
by the s.E.C.

Due to allegations
of insider trading.

Anything hinky
on the first victim?

Lily chang's transcripts
show that she was

On academic probation
from m.I.T. And close
to flunking out.

Well, I take back what I said
about not seeing a connection

Between the victims.
All 3 were involved
in unethical situations

They probably
weren't proud of.

[beep]
hello, g-men and g-woman.

Hey, what up, baby girl?

Ok, I have been doing
research on super-sharp

Possible
head-chopping weaponry.

What'd you find?

[sighs] there are so many
ways to slice and dice.

Axes, machetes, knives, swords.

Do you know there's
a sword from asia
called the katana?

It can slice a person
in half.
Who would need that?

Could be what
the unsub's using.

Well, in the last 6 months,
in boston,

There have been 20 swords
sold, both real and replicas,

Mostly to buyers who just
wanted to add them

To their private collections.

Well, who else
bought them?

Uh, people like moi
who go to renaissance fairs

And civil war re-enactments
and pirate festivals.

Don't judge me.

I'm not, but we're gonna
need to talk to everyone,

So send us the information.

Done and done
and done and done.

You know, the unsub's
method of killing

Has certainly evolved
since the first kill,

But I don't think he's using
any of the weapons
that garcia found.

What about the katana?
That can sever a neck
with precision.

It would give him
the efficiency and
accuracy we've seen, but...

What? What are
you thinking?

Displaying the bodies
in public

Seems to be what's
important to the unsub.

He wants to make an example
out of his victims,

Which is why I think
he's using a guillotine.

You're serious.

Guillotines were once
considered instruments
of justice.

Executions were public events.

Crowds would come and literally
bring picnic baskets.

Parents would bring
their kids.

Now, he can't kill
in today's town square,

So he's doing
the next best thing.

He's dumping the bodies
for the public to find.

Ok, guillotines
aren't exactly

Something you see
being sold on amazon
every day.

No, but it would be
so easy to make one.

All you need is wood,
rope, pulleys,
and sheet metal

From the local
hardware store.

No, I'm fine, really.

Some out of the way hotel
in southie.

My wife thinks
I was meeting a client
after work.

No, I don't think
she suspects.

Don't worry about it,
curtis, it won't.

Listen, I gotta go.

Hey, this isn't the way
to dorchester.

What are you doing?

Why are we stopping?

Hey, where the hell are we?

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Like amy gibb,
the first two victims

Had called for ride-share
cars and then canceled.

To me, this whole
ride-share thing's

Not much different
than hitchhiking,

Except you gotta pay.

I get the appeal.
It's quick and easy.

You just have to enter
your location
via smartphone.

Right. And then some
random car pulls up
and you hop in.

That sounds safe.

Well, riders are sent
the driver's name,

Photo, license plate
number. They know
who's picking them up.

Maybe the victims
didn't want to wait

For their ride-share
cars to arrive
and hailed a taxi instead.

And if the cabbie
had a jammer,
that would explain

Why the victims'
phone signals died.

He could blitz attack them
in the cab and then
disable their phones.

Except amy was
at her front door when
her cell signal died.

Taxi drivers don't
usually escort passengers
to their door.

Maybe this one did for amy.

Jj: Walking passengers
to their door

Feels more like something
a ride-share driver would do

In hopes of getting
a positive review.

Lewis: Let's go find out.

Zimmer drivers go through
rigorous background checks.

Does that include
fingerprint-based
background checks

Through the doj
and fbi systems

Like taxi companies
are required to do?

No.

What about the national
sex offender database?

We lead the industry
with our screening process.

We're even about
to introduce an app
for children

Whose parents are
too busy to shuttle
them around.

How do you know
when you have
a problem driver?

Negative customer reviews.

Too many and your account
is suspended

Or permanently deactivated.

But zimmer isn't responsible
for the conduct
of its drivers.

And why is that?

They're independent
contractors.

So if a driver
were to kidnap me
or get drunk

And drive off a bridge
with me sitting
right next to him,

You're claiming
zimmer's not responsible.

A bit dramatic, but true.

Zimmer is merely
a technology platform

That matches willing
drivers and passengers.

What if someone wants to hack
your ride-share app?

They could be picking up
passengers

Before their actual drivers
ever arrive.

Your zimmer app was hacked.

We had some trouble
recently.

When?

Last week.

But our cyber-security
team was able to trace it

To a rival company
trying to poach
our customer base.

What are you doing?

Ow! [moaning]

Of all the cars
you could have got into,

You got into mine.

Some might say
that luck or fate
brought us together.

[sigh] I like to think
that it was divine intervention.

It's time we get started.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, no, no, no.

If the unsub's not hacking
ride-share apps,

Then what's to stop him
from simply posing
as a driver?

I mean, all he'd have
to do is throw a decal
on a car window

And cruise around
target-rich environments

Like restaurants,
clubs, and bars.

Yeah, he could just
pretend there was
a problem with the app

And then offer a discount
if the rider pays cash

And cancels the car
they already ordered.

Mm-hmm.

I love ya!

Hey, baby girl, listen.

I need you to look
at job applications

Submitted by
ride-share drivers.

That is a tall order,
my favorite flavor
of hot chocolate.

And you'll have to give me
un poquito mas.

Thousands of people apply
for those jobs every day.

Well, find local drivers
who were rejected.

Yeah, also check for
current ride-share
drivers in the area

With criminal histories
that date back prior
to 7 years ago.

Right. Because background
checks often don't go
that far back.

Ok, I'll catch you
on the flipside.

Well, it's time
to give the profile.

The unsub we're looking for
may be a ride-share driver

Or posing as one
and is using that service
to hunt for his victims.

He appears
non-threatening,

Which allows him
to get close
to his victims.

The sophisticated
nature of his planning

Suggests he's in his
late 30s or early 40s.

We think he's
an injustice collector,

Upset by what he considers
to be the unfairness
of his life.

He holds on to grudges,

And he magnifies slights
way out of proportion.

His hypersensitivity
could be the result
of paranoia

Or drug-induced psychosis.

Ride-share companies
use software and phone apps

To track the drivers
and customers.

Could he be hacking
their systems?

We've checked every ride-share
company operating in boston.

There's no evidence of that.

However, he may be getting
around the software

By picking his victims
off the app,

Similar to when
conventional taxi drivers

Go off the meter.

Even the most minor insult

Could cause him to fly into
a murderous rage.

Lewis: He could also
have been raised in a home

Where he was excessively
disciplined.

Aah!

Jj: The act of striking
his victims' hands

May be part
of their punishment.

Rossi: And the beheading
probably gives him the power

And control
he feels he lacks.

The public is advised
to travel in pairs or groups

And to use public
transportation
when possible.

If using a taxi,
please call the company

To order one in lieu of
hailing one in the street.

And if you're a ride-share
customer,

Make sure the car
that picks you up

Is the one
that you reserved

And the driver
matches the photo
that was sent to you.

If he's upset about changes
in the neighborhood,

He might consider
outsiders to be the enemy

And his form of punishment
is decapitation.

Thank you.

Agents, there's a woman here,

She's convinced that her
husband's been kidnapped
by the killer.

Up to now, the unsub's
only been abducting
and beheading women.

She's being
pretty insistent.

You'll probably get
a lot more like her
coming in here.

She also mentioned
her husband's a frequent
user of ride-share.

Jj, lewis, check it out.

He's gonna
chop off his head!

I saw the news.
I know that the beheader
has my husband.

Mrs. Simmons,
please have a seat.

Will you tell me
why you think this?

Anthony didn't come home
last night.

He's never not come home

In the 10 years
that we've been married.

Ok, when did you last
speak with him?

Yesterday afternoon.
Um, he said that
he had a client dinner

And that he'd be home late.
But he never came home.

You told the police
that your husband used
ride-share services?

Yes. All the time.
Um, it's the only way
he gets around the city.

He lost his license
after a dui.

Where was this dinner
last night?

Chinatown.

Chinatown's
nowhere near southie.

Excuse me for a moment.

But you're going
to investigate, right?

So, are we dealing
with a nutcase

Or is the wife
onto something?

I'm hoping garcia
can tell us.

Garcia's the name,
service the game.

Hi, I'm looking
for information
on an anthony simmons.

He lives in dorchester.

Mm-hmm. Anthony j.

428 nelson court.
Fire when ready.

Ok, uh, he had dinner
with a client in chinatown
last night.

Anything to show he was there?

No. I don't think
he was doing that.

There are no credit card
records of any bars
or restaurants

In chinatown for him.

Was he anywhere
near southie?

Oh, he was all over that
like a cheap poly-rayon
blend suit.

I have him checking
to a hotel called the marquee.

He ordered room service
for two--

Shrimp cocktail, steak diane,
creme brulee,

3 bottles of cabernet,
and he also ordered

An in-room adult
entertainment movie
on pay-per-view.

I don't think he'll
be able to put that
on his expense account.

Did he use
a ride-share service?

Yeah. He used a place
called voyage

From downtown boston
to the hotel.

What time did he check out
this morning?

He didn't. He checked out
the same night

And he ordered a zimmer car
to dorchester.

I bet it was canceled
minutes later.

You are correct.
His gps shows him
heading to dorchester

And then poof, signal dies.

All right.
Thanks, penelope.

So mrs. Simmons was
right about her husband
being abducted

But wrong
about chinatown.

Uhh!
[clang]

Aah! Aah!

Somebody help me!

No one can hear you.

Please, why are you
doing this?

Who are you?

Who's tanya?

Huh?

I don't know
who that is.

Liar.

[whimpering]

Aah!

[sobbing]

Who's tanya?

[sobbing]

Ok, ok, wait!
Tanya--tanya is
a woman from work.

Is this about her?

[breathing hard]

I know what you did.

God, I don't understand.

Admit it.

Admit what?

How do you know
her name?

I looked. You call
and text her a lot.

You're just like
the others.

You talk on your phone,

And you think you're in
some kind of private
little bubble,

But you are not.

You heard...

Confess!

You're having sex with tanya!

I'm not.

I swear.

More...

Lies.

No, no.

No, no, no, no--

Aah!

All right,
thank you so much. Bye.

Did you find out?

Lily chang's
classmate said

That they they were trying
to buy an answer key

To an upcoming chemistry
midterm.

Denise wagner
was on the phone
with a canadian banker

Who was helping her
set up an offshore account

In, uh, vanuatu?

The republic
of vanuatu.

It's a tax haven
known for
its banking secrecy.

It appears she'd been
siphoning off money

From her clients for years.

What about amy gibb?

The last person
to talk to amy gibb
was her best friend.

She said that amy
invited her over

To drink a bottle
of champagne that
she stole from work.

And anthony simmons?

He last talked
to a curtis price,

But he hasn't gotten
back to us yet.

What if the unsub knew about
what he considered to be

His victims' moral
transgressions and
he was offended by them?

But how would he know that?

Well, you know how people
spill their secrets

To bartenders,
hairdressers,

The stranger sitting
next to them on a plane.

When our personal space
is limited, it can trigger
a false sense of intimacy.

Well, the backseat
of a taxicab is often
like a confessional.

I imagine it's like that
with ride-share cars, too.

The victims could be
confessing their wrongdoings

To the unsub
while he's driving.

And they could be doing it
unknowingly.

He could be eavesdropping,
and depending on what he hears,

They go from being a fare
to being a victim.

Uhh! Oh, god!

What's happening?

You cheated on your wife.

That's adultery.

You heard me wrong.
I didn't have sex with tanya.

I was just joking, you know?

Just guy stuff.

No, no, no, no, no!

[groaning]

No. Ohh, ohh...

[breathing hard, whimpering]

Ohh...

Please don't do this.

Actions have consequences.

I didn't do it.

You gotta believe me.

That's what the guilty
always say.

But I can prove it.

Just let me call
a buddy of mine.

Do you think I'm stupid?!

No.

But he'll tell you.

I love my wife.

I would never cheat on her.

Please...

I have a better idea.

Let's call tanya.

Thanks for coming in,
mr. Price.

So you think my
phone call with anthony
could be important?

We're not sure,
but we're checking every lead.

Now, how do you know
mr. Simmons?

I'm his aa sponsor.

And what did you two
last talk about?

He claimed he had just
hooked up with some woman.

I assume he wasn't talking
about his wife.

He give you a name?

Nope.

You said "claimed."

You don't think he was
telling the truth?

Addicts are good at lying,
agent rossi.

Anthony can be
very convincing.

Well, during
the conversation,

Did you hear anyone
in the background?

Did he call anyone
by name?

No. Sorry.

And how did you end
the conversation?

I could tell
he'd been drinking.

I warned him that an affair
could interfere
with his sobriety.

I asked him to go
to a meeting with me,

That I'd even drive us there.

But he ended the call,
so I assumed
that was my answer.

[cell phone line ringing]

If you try to warn her...

I won't, I swear.

[voicemail] this is tanya
benton in client services.

Please leave your name
and number

And I'll get back
to you as soon as I can.

[beep]

This is too bad
for you.

She didn't recognize
the number.
She'll call back.

Please, please just give her
some more time.

I'm telling the truth.

Liar!

Please don't do this.

Boy: Please don't.
I'm not lying.

I'm telling the truth!

Man: Liar.

Please don't.

[crack]

She's got 10 minutes.

Simmons' body has yet
to turn up,

So he may still be alive,

But we're
running out of time.

The disposal sites
are all over the map,

But the victims
were all abducted

In the same 20-block area
in southie.

Yeah, but garcia's
checked and there are
no current ride-share

Drivers or rejected
applicants living within
that 20-block radius.

If the unsub's offended
by immorality, it might
have something to do with

A church or religious
institution
in the neighborhood.

It could be a former priest
or member of the clergy.

Religion and bruised knuckles.

Anyone else besides me
getting an image of nuns

Hitting students
on the back of their hand
with a ruler?

It could be a teacher
who still believes
in corporal punishment.

Garcia, I need a list
of all public, private,
and parochial schools

In south boston.

There are 8 public,

4 private,
and one parochial school.

And check for scandals
at those schools
and go back 30 years.

Scandals, got it. Garcia out.

Tanya's got 5 minutes,

And so do you.

[beep]

Oh.

That is not good.

Sir, I think I found something.

A principal at a private school

In southie was arrested
last month

For sexually assaulting
a minor. I just sent you
the story.

"principal brendan burke
of aldren academy
was charged with

"lewd acts and sexually
abusing a 10-year-old
female student.

"police believe
there may be more
underage victims

Dating back as early
as the 1980s."

Aldren is right in the middle
of the unsub's hunting grounds.

Burke had been principal
for 35 years and was known

In the community
as a moral crusader.

He's a staunch supporter
of prayer in school,
corporal punishment,

Longer prison terms
to deter crime.

Oh, dear.

What is it, mama?

Well, according to this,
which I'm sending you right now,

Principal burke
committed suicide 10 days ago.

That's right when
the first victim was found.

Burke's death may have
been the trigger.

He left behind
a note apologizing
for what he called

His "sins of the flesh
and moral weakness."

If the unsub went to aldren
academy, it's likely
he was influenced

By burke's
moral crusader rhetoric.

He could be trying
to emulate him.

Garcia, cross-check
the school's
enrollment records

With ride-share drivers
in boston.

Uh...Nothing.

All right. Check for drivers
who've been suspended

Or had their accounts
deactivated.

Bingo. Two names.
Stephen liastro
and james o'neill.

They both went to aldren
from kindergarten all
the way through high school,

Starting in the early eighties.

Stephen moved to california
3 years ago.

James still lives in southie.

He was a zimmer driver
for 6 months.

He was fired recently
due to a boatload
of negative reviews,

Including an allegation
that he threatened a passenger

With a hammer.
But charges weren't filed.

That's why he didn't
show up on the database

Of drivers
with criminal histories.

Let's put out an apb
for james o'neill.

Already sent.
We need the home address,
garcia.

God...

Grant me the serenity
to accept the things
that I cannot change,

The courage to change
the things that I can...

And the wisdom
to know the difference.

The serenity prayer.

You're all sinners.

And sinners must be punished.

Stand up straight!

Put out your hands!

[smacking, boys crying out]

Please don't. No more.

I'm telling the truth!

Liar! Liar! Liar!

Do you know what that
self-righteous
son of a bitch did?

He molested little girls.

But he's not gonna be punished!

He took the easy way out.

He left a pathetic note.

It is not...

Fair!

Sinners must be punished!

Sinners like you!

Your time's up.

No! Ohh...

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

[cell phone ringing]

Hello, tanya.

Tanya, I'm--[clears throat]

Investigating
the anthony simmons case.

Yes, it is terrible.

How do you know mr. Simmons?

And when was the last time
you saw him?

How would you describe
your relationship with him?

Thank you.
You have been a big help.

I think that he'll be found
very soon, too.

For years james o'neill
and the other students
at aldren academy

Felt the righteous wrath
of principal burke.

I don't know why
their parents
didn't complain

Or put a stop to burke.

Some parents would rather
have someone else
discipline their kids.

Broken hands, contusions,
concussions--

That's not discipline,
that's abuse.

James was angered
by burke's hypocrisy,

And when burke took
his own life, it denied
james the satisfaction

Of seeing him publicly
humiliated and punished.

So he felt compelled
to punish others
he deemed immoral.

I confess.

Is that what you want to hear?

You're right.

I'm a sinner.

I made a mistake.

But it'll never happen again.

Please...

I don't want to die.

It's too late.

It's time for you
to join the others.

Others?

He had a wall of shame.

So do I.

Oh, my god!

Somebody help me!

James o'neill, fbi!

Stay away!

We're coming in!

One step and I'll drop it.

[whimpering]

Morgan: Take it easy.
Take it easy.

Hotch.

You need to release him, james.

No. He's a cheater.

Don't let him kill me.

Hold on, mr. Simmons.

We know what brendan burke
did to you.

He's a liar.

He's a hypocrite.

He's...He's a pervert.

Yes. And soon the world
will know the truth
about what a monster he was.

But he'll never
be punished.

You hurting other people
is not gonna change that.

And we don't want
to hurt you.

Get me out of this thing!

Shut up!

Aah!

[sobbing]

Hotch: "a man's
very highest moment is,
I have no doubt at all,

"when he kneels in the dust
and beats his breast

And tells all the sins
of his life."

Oscar wilde.

[car approaches]

Tara.

Hey there.

This is a nice surprise.

Yeah. You need a hand?

Sure. Grab a rag.

[laughs] ok. Before that,

I come bearing gifts.

Coffee and this.

An original radio
antenna knob.

You found one.

Yeah. You just have to know
the right people.

It fits perfect.
Thank you.

And your dad.

I will tell him.

[car starts,
engine hums]

You hear that?

She sounds incredible.

That's the sound
of the open road
calling us.

Now you are talking,
my friend.
