Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 18 - A Beautiful Disaster - full transcript

Help me!
Help me, she's been shot!

She's been shot! Help me!

Put her
on the gurney.

Help her, please!

Babe, babe,
you're gonna be ok.

Call O.B.
And trauma surgery!

You're gonna be fine.
You hear me? You're gonna be ok.

Please help her.

She's got a weak pulse,
breathing is shallow.

Two large-bore IVs.

Get her into trauma one.



Start a liter of
lactated ringer's, wide open.

Baby, you're gonna be
all right.

Pulse is thready.
BP is 80/40.

How many weeks is she?

Uh...33.

I got a fetal heartbeat.
Rate's 100.

Is the baby ok?

We're doing
everything we can.

Did someone call O.B.?

Get me a type and cross.
Yes, Doctor.

We need two units
red cells on hold.

Trauma surgery says
O.R. 2 is prepped and ready.

Let's move her out.

She's in severe danger
of losing this baby.



You need to get out
of this area, Agent.

Stats are falling!

Sir, you need to stay there.

Do not come in here.
No, you gotta--

is there someone
you'd like me to call?

Hello?

Yeah.

Wh--

We need all vehicular and
pedestrian traffic stopped

in a 10-block radius.

Hey, where you going?

Hey, let me through,
that's my team over there!

Get your hands off me.
I'm FBI.

Hey, hey, he's an Agent.
Let him through.

What the hell
is wrong with them?

Don't they know
we're on this case?

Yes, he knows.

He just didn't know
who you are. It's ok.

Tell me
you got something.

A casing and a rifle
up on the roof.

This guy isn't sloppy.
He's sending us a message.

Garcia, we need to access
the surveillance footage.

Of course.
I'm on it.

What else we got?

That's it right now.

Where were you
and Savannah standing?

We were standing right over there
on the side of my truck.

We were just talking.

She was to the back
and I was facing her.

I was the one who was vulnerable.
I was the easy shot.

How's Savannah?

She's in surgery.

Come on, let's check in.

You guys got this?

Go.

Metro PD's gonna secure
all the windows

and have an officer placed in front
of Savannah's room 24/7.

Thanks.

I got us a conference room
down the hall to work in,

and I'm getting access
to the security cams right now.

Great.

You two need coffee?
I'm good.

No. Thanks.

Tara's donating blood
in case Savannah needs more.

It turns out
they're the same type.

That's JJ,

who I'm return texting.

She and Reid are looking
at the footage

to see if there's anything.

Hopefully you are
officially caught up now

and I will continue
to do so. Come on, sit.

When is someone gonna let me know
they're gonna be ok?

I totally feel you.

You're not alone in this.

Just stop.
Please just stop.

I can't take your
blind optimism right now.

It's not helping me.
Just stop.

Sorry. I just--

What's up?
What do we got?

You can't investigate this.

Excuse me?

You're a material witness
in your wife's shooting

and a target. And not just tonight
but for the past 6 months.

Hotch, how can you, of all people,
ask me to sit this out?

You didn't back off
when Foyet attacked your family.

And how did
that turn out?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I can't sit down
and do nothing.

Your job right now
is to be a husband and a father.

Hotch, please.

I have a skill set

that can help find
this son of a bitch.

No.

You're off the case.

So if security footage
has no angles

of the shooting or the rooftop,
where does that leave us?

We're running facial
recognition on everyone

in and around
the hospital

to see if they match any loose ends
from Morgan's abduction.

How did he take it?

As expected.

Sir, I know that when
Morgan was on leave

after his abduction, you encouraged him
to stay away from the case.

And let me guess--
he didn't.

We all knew in our hearts
it wasn't over,

and, look, we were right,
so in an extra-curricular kind of way

we kept sleuthing to see
who was working with John Bradley.

Before he came back to work,
Morgan said that he'd found a connection

between the men who held him
at the cabin and the Montolo family.

Right. So, basically, we're dealing
with a big crime family tree,

of which Bradley
was certainly a branch.

And the Montolos had hired
him multiple times.

Did you scan the drawing?
Yeah, it's right here.

So, has everyone
been working on this?

- Yeah, basically.
- Kinda.

Ok, with Morgan's research,
plus our bad guys/gals tree here,

we've cut all the legs
off the evil table.

So like look--

you got assassin,
mother, father,

siblings, all deceased,

one aunt in therapy
for family trauma,

and each line
is like that.

Montolo's line's
the shortest of them all.

The only living child of
Chazz and Rosemary Montolo.

Rosemary died when Giuseppe
was just a boy.

Right. And then Giuseppe
went to live with his family in Italy,

and Chazz went off
to build a criminal empire.

Looks like Chazz Montolo
was killed last year.

Yeah, in a bank fire
in Germany.

Got positive I.D.
On the dental and fingerprints.

One week after
his son was murdered.

What if that's not
a coincidence?

So whoever poisoned
the son also killed the father.

Or he staged his own death
so we wouldn't suspect him of this.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

I only ran facial
recognition

on living people for obvious reasons,
but this guy right here,

walking out of the hospital,
this guy, that is...

That's Chazz Montolo.

Garcia, play the footage.

All right.
Garcia, contact the city,

get access
to traffic cameras.

Now that we know he's here,
we can find out where he went.

Oh, wait, Morgan's calling me.

I told him I'd keep him
in the know

before I knew it was an order
that he wasn't supposed to know.

All right. Reid,
you talk to Morgan.

JJ, you and Garcia
track Montolo,

find out who his accomplices are.
He doesn't work alone.

Dave, you and I will find
potential witnesses

who might have seen him
on the property.

Were you with Garcia?

Yeah.

Here, I brought you
a green tea.

It won't make you
as jittery as coffee.

You came instead of Garcia because
you know I'd be able to read her.

That is correct.

And Hotch sent you here
to see if I'm stable.

He didn't say that, but...

I don't get jittery.

Usually you don't,

but your carotid
tells a different story.

I've counted 10 heartbeats
in the last 3 seconds.

That's about 20% higher than your usual
when you're under stress.

I know you're only trying to protect me,
I get it, but knock it off.

I just want to know
what you've learned.

When you first told me
about Savannah,

I'd never seen you
like that.

The decreased levels
of central serotonin in your brain

cause intrusive thinking.

When I finally saw
you guys together,

that's when I knew for sure.

Your pupils dilated,
your posture changed,

and I saw you involuntarily
reach for her hand.

Science confirmed it.
You've found the one.

Do you believe that?

Yes.

Then believe this.

Our team loves you,

and we are not
going to stop

until we find
whoever did this.

But we can only do that
with a completely dispassionate

and unprejudiced
point of view.

Paternal instinct is a deadly bias
that we just can't risk.

It's for your protection,
Morgan, I swear.

Ok.

The unsub
is a father, isn't he?

Why do you say that?

A paternal instinct
is a deadly bias?

Those were your
exact words.

I meant...

I know what you meant.

But that's what you said.

Go back to that first image.

Keep rewinding.

Ok, now pull up the hallway footage
right before that.

Hold it. Right there.

Oh, my God.
He's right near Morgan.

Wait.

Uh, look a the time stamp.

That's when
I got the call, but...

It wasn't an orderly
who called me,

it was him.
He was right there.

Morgan.

You ok?

Yeah.

No, I'm ok.

It's a miracle, really.

Whoever did this
chose to hurt her

right in front
of a hospital.

If the point
was to kill her,

why would he shoot her
at a place where she could be saved?

Maybe the point
wasn't to kill her.

The shooter called Garcia from
the hospital minutes after the attack.

A homeless guy.

He stood out because
he was wearing a ring.

I just wasn't focused
enough at the time to flag it.

Do we have
any leads?

Giuseppe Montolo's father.

Chazz Montolo.

He wants me to feel
how he feels.

Now I do?

Hotch know you're here?

I don't agree with
taking you off the case.

When someone hurts
one of us,

when someone hurts
a baby...

Yeah.

Uh, I need to show this
to the team,

but I wanted you
to see it first.

I found it in the pay phone
he used to call Garcia.

“How does it feel?

“Do you see red?

I see red.”

Does that mean
anything to you?

No.

You sure?

Yeah.

Ok.

Hey. That thing have
hot cocoa?

That's what I'm getting.

Make it two?

Mm-hmm.

Here.

Thanks.

How you holding up?

I've never seen him
like this.

I want to fix it
and I can't.

It's too much
for anyone.

It's not fair
and it needs to stop.

Yeah.

Are you all right?

I showed it to Morgan.

What did he say?

Same as us.
It's a taunt.

- That's all?
- Mm-hmm.

And I'm sorry.
I thought it would help.

It's ok.

Where are we with the motels
and the SROs along the bus route?

Mostly cash transactions,
faceless tenants.

I'll get the Washington field office
to canvass the area.

Why leave a note
so seemingly on the nose

when every other action
has been calculated for maximum pain?

It has to mean more than
simply “I'm angry.”

It's a clue or a symbol.

It means something to Morgan
and I think Chazz knows that.

Well, he wants to drive
Morgan to exact revenge.

How do you think
he's doing?

Well, after the physical
and emotional stress

of 6 months ago, and now this?
The guy's a saint.

He passed his return evals.

Yeah, but we wrote
the questions.

He knows exactly
what to say.

Virginia, D.C., and Maryland
agents are the way.

Thank you, Hotch.

How is she?

Still touch and go.
I...

I'm waiting to see her.

The note. “seeing red.”
what does it mean?

I don't know.

You're looking for
microexpressions.

You divided this team
when we need to work together.

JJ disobeyed orders
by going to you,

and now you're withholding.

I didn't divide this team.

You did.

It's the doctor.

I'm sorry.

This should be me.

And I'm so sorry.

Where's Agent Morgan?

He said you were
calling him.

No.

Well, then where is he?
He wouldn't just go off on his own.

Garcia, pull up security
footage of the emergency entrance.

Let's go.

Hotch.

Where is he?

He's not gonna stop.

Morgan, tell me where he is.

I can't get
anyone else hurt.

This isn't your call.

Come on, you have to know
what I'm feeling right now.

That's why you need
to come back here

or tell me
where you're going.

I can't do it.

I'm sorry, man.

Goodbye, Aaron.

He's gone.

GPS has him heading north

about a mile away from the hospital
and then he stops.

- Why would he stop?
- He got rid of his phone.

No. No, no, no.
That guy's trying to kill him.

He's walking into a trap.

I check in every 5 minutes.

If they don't hear from me,

then they know
who to kill first.

Empty your gun.

You sit here with me

unless you want
them all to die.

That officer,
he works for me.

Oh, no, wait, maybe it's the
man doubled over in pain,

or the nurse.

Could be it's none of them

and I just tricked you
into handing over your gun.

What do you
choose to believe?

That you're a narcissistic
homicidal psychopath.

And you can't stand the fact
that you failed 6 months ago,

so now you're back
to punish me.

I'll tell you what
I believe.

You killed my son.

Wrong.

You're the last person
that saw him alive.

Yes, I was, but someone
else poisoned him.

How did he end up
in prison?

I arrested him.
I didn't kill him.

That's your belief.

Mine is that you killed
my flesh and blood

and have no idea
what that feels like.

Yet.

Sit.

Sit.

We've only just begun.

Morgan was headed north
when we lost him.

There are 3 highways in that direction.
He could have gone anywhere.

Except Montolo
never left the city.

Garcia, pull up that footage
of him at the bus stop.

Red line.
Red line.

He sees red.

But he never gets on.
See, he moves right past it.

So, “I see red.”

what the hell
does that mean?

Yeah.

You know what to do.

Do you ever count how many choices
you make in a day?

The first is whether or not
to get out of bed in the morning.

When Giuseppe died,

I really struggled with that one.

What do you want?

I'm gonna to give you
some fatherly advice,

something you missed out
on as a kid, am I right?

Find your stillness.

You know, another choice
I made was to stick with what works.

And this, for me, works.

It reflects who I am.

You decided on
a semi-automatic weapon,

and that defines you.

Now...

Did you kill my son?

No.

Morgan never calls me Aaron.
Why would he start?

What else did he say?

That of all people,
I should understand.

He was talking about Foyet.

Yes. But he mentioned that earlier.
Why would he bring it up again?

He wanted you to relate
to his rage and back off?

Is there any other
relevance to Foyet?

He attacked in my home.

Maybe Morgan subconsciously
let that slip.

Yeah, but Morgan's
house isn't red.

Yeah, but he's renovated
a lot of houses over the years.

What if it's one of those?

Yeah.

You know, I could have shot her
when you were far away from help,

but I gave her a chance.

I made that choice.

Think about it.

You're insane.

Maybe.

You know, I learned a lot
by living in these walls that you built.

For example, at first, it was about
changing the past,

the power
of transformation.

Believing that anything
can be fixed.

And then you finished
the renovation.

And you decided
to study behavior.

For a living.

And then,
many years later

you crossed paths
with my son.

So the decisions you made
in these very walls

were the beginning
of our journey.

Wow. Morgan was busy.

He has 8 properties.

He started renovating
in 2001 right after 9-11.

I remember him saying he didn't know
what else to do with his frustration.

He thought tearing down walls
would be a good start.

He wanted to restore them
so he could control something.

Could Montolo
know about these houses?

It's public record,
so probably.

Uh, let's see.

Morgan uses a service
to rent out the properties.

Here's one that's been
rented for a while to a...

C.R. Joseph.

Joseph, C.R. Joseph,
C.R. Joseph, C.R...

Guys, Joseph is the English
translation of Giuseppe.

What if “C” stands for Chazz
and “R” for Rosemary?

Do you have an image
of the property?

I can find one.

Let's go.

Address on your phones.

We've taken Savannah
out of the induced coma.

She's asking
for her husband.

Oh, dear.

Uh, uh--thank you.

They need to do a C-section.
Where is he?

Ok, the team had a lead
on the case,

and it's all about
protecting you and the baby.

He wants to be here
for this, but--

well, tell him
to get back here.

Ok, ok.

That's a hell of a way
to come into the world, huh?

Your baby's birthday is
gonna be on your headstone.

Being a dad
is all I've thought about.

You must remember
what that's like.

You want the best
for your kid.

So you start thinking...

Am I doing this right?

Am I living the kind of life
I want my kid to emulate?

I really want to believe

that you've wondered about
that stuff with your son, but...

I don't think so.

You've had plenty of chances
to get out of that life, but you stayed.

And so did Giuseppe,
because that's all he knew.

The person to blame
for the death of your son is you.

Let's make this interesting.

I'm going to give you
a gift

that you did not
give to me.

A chance to say goodbye.

Pick it up.

No.

Pick it up.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Baby girl.

You're ok.

Yeah.

Oh, uh, Savannah's awake.

I know.

You know? Ok, well,

she's about to get a C-section,
so you need to get back here.

Garcia,

I need you to patch
everyone in. Do it now.

Ok. Hold on. Hold on.

Go ahead, Garcia.

I've got Morgan.

Are you all there?

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, we're here.

He's got a gun
with two bullets.

Listen to me.

I made a decision tonight
that led me to this.

This is my fault, you understand?
No one else's.

And if this
is how it ends...

It was meant to be.

Don't say that.

Promise me you'll look after
Savannah and my baby.

Of course we will,
but so will you.

Ohh!

Derek?

Derek?

Promise me you'll look after
Savannah and my baby.

Of course we will,
but so will you.

Aah!

My team
was never in danger.

You don't know that.

This house doesn't have
a land line.

Now you pick it up.

There's one bullet left in that chamber,
so pick it up.

It's your choice.

You either get arrested
and rot in prison

or you pick up that gun
and we end this.

Pick it up!

You won't shoot
an unarmed man.

I know you want to.
I can see it.

Come on, be a man.

Come on. Come on.

Be a man! Pull the trigger!

Or you won't sleep a night
until I'm dead.

It's a boy!

Oh, my God!

Wow!

Jack was never
this tiny.

The doctor said this Incubator
is gonna be home

for another two weeks.

It's gonna fly by.

Hotch, I get it.

I finally know what
you guys have been talking about.

I never knew that 6 pounds, 1 ounce
could knock me out.

You got the grip. Right?

He's strong.

Ok, so it's not just me.

Promise me you'll
take some time.

About that...

Hotch...

I just saw
your prince down the hall.

He's sleeping
like it's his job.

'Cause it is.

Whew. Pretty incredible, huh?

I'm so grateful.

You know, I've learned that--

in the short time
I've had the privilege

of being a dad...

It heals wounds.

Just being there
for your kid.

Like your dad wanted
to be, I'm sure.

Like my daughter
wanted me to be.

Hey. Hey,

you are a good man.
You know that.

You'd have been there
for her had you known.

I didn't have that choice.

But you do.

It's crazy, huh?

I miss him.

He's just
right down the hall.

Well, let's go take a look.

It's time he meets
his uncle Dave.

Yes, it is.

Come on.

Hey. I wasn't expecting
to see you here.

But since you are...

I got a little something
for you and the family.

What?

Oh, wow.

You're gonna have
a lot of babysitters.

Thank you.

We'll always be here
for you, ok?

I know.

I know.

I know you hate
goodbyes, kid.

And change.

Hey.

It isn't always
a bad thing.

I just can't
imagine this room without you.

So don't.

Don't think about it.

Just know I'm always
gonna be by your side.

I'm just a phone call away.

I'm sorry I can't stay.

I don't want you to stay.

Because I know why
you're leaving

and I couldn't be
happier for you.

Listen, we were gonna
mail these,

but I wanted you to have
a birth announcement first.

Hank Spencer Morgan.

Yeah.

Hank is for my pops.

But Spencer is for
the best little brother

anybody could ever ask for.

I love you, kid.

I love you.

So, look, uh,
my little dude,

he's gonna need
a big brother, too.

To teach him everything
he knows about life.

And chess.

I can do that.

I know you can.

I want you to see him.

Look at that.

- Oh, man.
- Mmm?

I did good, huh?

Great. Oh, wow.

Look at that face.

Hey.

Hi.

Look what I did.
I packed you up already,

so you can leave
super fast,

which I think is
a totally good idea.

I would be pissed
if you stayed,

because taking care
of that sweet baby

is what it's about now,

and keeping bad guys out of your life
is a really good plan.

Penelope.

Mm-hmm.

You all right?

He's gonna be ok.

He's gonna be ok.

I repeated that
to myself like a prayer

when they were hurting
you in that cabin.

And then when all that
happened to Savannah,

I said to myself,
they're gonna be ok.

They're gonna be ok.

And they are.

How can that be
blind optimism,

when I am looking
at you

in all of your
delicious ok-ness?

That's not blind.

No.

No, it's not blind.

Mm-hmm. It's magic.

It is magic.

Everything you and I
do together is magic.

Since the minute we met.

But it's ending,

and I'm scared.

You make me feel
super brave.

You make me feel safe.

You know, you're partially
to blame for me leaving.

You got such a big heart,

I think it rubbed off on me.

Partially.

I think the actual reason
is that little baby boy.

Yeah.

I'm really glad
it wasn't a baby girl.

I'm really glad.
Is that wrong?

No.

No.
It's not. Ok.

You will always be
my original baby girl.

Penelope Garcia,

I love you so much.

Ok.

I don't think my heart
can take any more of this,

so, um,

I'm assuming the good news
is I'm the godmother?

Hmm.

I'll take your silence
as a yes.

As a good friend
of mine said,

every ending
is also a beginning.

We just don't know it
at the time.

I'd like to believe
she's right.
