Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 12, Episode 21 - Green Light - full transcript

When Reid fears his mother has been abducted, he asks the BAU to investigate while he's stuck in prison.

ROSSI: Previously on Criminal Minds...

I'd be happy to help you with your mother.

Thank you. You have no idea
how much this means to me, Cassie.

Reid will not get hurt
in here again, ever.

If he does, I'll make you suffer.

I can take away a lot.

I could take away your son.

LEWIS: I need to walk you
through another cognitive.

REID: I hear a noise,
like a spraying sound,

and I feel a mist.

Do you recognize who it is?



It wasn't Scratch who framed me.

It was a woman.

I'm sorry.
I should have introduced myself.

-Carol Atkinson.
-I know you.

You're Lindsey Vaughan.

No. Carol.

Carol Atkinson.

Let's go, Diana.

Time to go.

Time to go.

-Time to go.
-It was a woman.

Guard! Guard!

Mom! Mom!

I came as fast as I could.



Thanks. I appreciate it.

Why couldn't you tell me on the phone?
What happened?

Fiona and I went to see Reid.

And?

Reid, are you okay?

It's my mom, she's in trouble.

Were Reid and Diana scheduled
to have a visit?

He didn't think so,
but it happened anyway.

What does the nurse say?

Cassie didn't bring Diana.

Another nurse did, a Carol Atkinson.

Garcia's running a search on the name now,

-but it's an alias.
-For who?

Cassie didn't bring my mom.
It was Lindsey,

from witness protection.

She pretended to be my mom's nurse.

Now, I haven't figured out
the mechanics yet...

Replacing Cassie, winning my mom's trust,

getting past prison security guards,

but I will.
I just haven't figured it out yet.

Reid...

Do you remember that...
You remember, right?

Her father, that case, April 2007?

Okay. Maybe you think you saw her...

Her father's Jack Vaughan,
former hit man for the Irish mob.

He and Lindsey were in witness protection.

Lindsey and her friend
Katie were abducted,

Katie was killed, and Jack murdered
the UnSub in front of me.

-Kill him.
-REID: When does it stop?

Tomorrow.

(SHOTGUN FIRES)

Do you honestly not remember any of this?

Yeah, I do. I'm sorry, I forgot.

But, Reid, how could she possibly...

I don't know!
That's why I'm telling you this.

I don't know, but I know what I saw!

Lindsey Vaughan?

From that case
in Chula Vista 10 years ago?

-You remember it.
-It was one of my first back.

But how could it be her now? And why?

I asked him the same thing.

And how did that go?

-(SLAMS FIST ON TABLE)
-You're not even listening to me!

I know what I saw, all right?

Now, find Lindsey! Find Lindsey, please!

-Hey, calm down.
-Get me out of here.

Get me out of here!

Find Lindsey!

Any chance he's wrong?

Well, Reid did smell Scratch's drugs

before the murder, and he said

there was another woman
in the room with them.

Well, if Lindsey took Diana
to visit, where's Cassie?

We don't know.
Her phone goes straight to voicemail.

She's not returning texts either.

JJ said that has never happened.

And Garcia pinged it?

She tried, but the battery must be dead.

The GPS was turned off.

Walker and JJ are on their way
to Reid's apartment now.

So what if this has been a Scratch-Lindsey
partnership this whole time?

If that's true, given his mental state,

I'm not sure Reid makes it to trial.

REID: "Every man's life ends the same way.

WASHINGTON D.C.

"It is only the details
of how he lived and how he died

"that distinguish one man from another."

Ernest Hemingway.

VOICEMAIL: Cassie's phone.
Leave a message.

(BEEPING)

Went to voicemail again?

Yeah. You know, Cassie's a professional.

She would never let her battery die.

Diana? Cassie?

It's me, Jennifer.

(UNLOCKING DOOR)

Nobody's home.

No. The scene doesn't say abduction.

-But under these circumstances, um...
-Yeah.

We need to call Emily.

We first came across
the Vaughans 10 years ago

when Lindsey Vaughan
and her friend Katie Owen

were abducted outside of a
crowded movie theater by three men.

Ryan Phillips, the triad's dominant,

tortured and strangled Katie.

Jack Vaughan then took matters
into his own hands,

using his skills to find Lindsey.

It ended when Jack murdered Phillips

in front of her and Reid.

They let them stay
in the program after that?

Jack was too important
a witness to cut loose.

And no one's heard from
either of them till now?

That's right.

And Lindsey, posing as a nurse
named Carol Atkinson,

was able to get Diana Reid in and out
of the Millburn Correctional Facility.

And despite all the cameras,

this is the only one that picked her up.

So she knew exactly where
they were and how to avoid them.

-(TELEPHONE RINGS)
-Please tell me you have good news.

JJ: Well, Diana and Cassie aren't here.

WALKER: There's no forced entry
and no signs of struggle.

And Cassie's car is gone.

Garcia, where are we
on that APB of her car?

I don't have anything yet.

Okay. Also, search recent
traffic in and out

of Reid's apartment.
Lindsey probably entered as Carol.

Copy, copy.

I know Diana's routine.

Stephen and I will hit up
those places first.

The rest of us need to find Lindsey ASAP.

I know a marshal that can help
cut through WITSEC's red tape.

Yeah, I'm friendly with some
people at Homeland Security.

I got a buddy at the DOJ,

lost a lot of money to him at poker.
He owes me.

Garcia, there was degraded female DNA

and prints found at the crime scene.

No matches in CODIS,

but there might be something in WITSEC.

I'll pull every favor, turn every stone.

Are we gonna tell Reid?

Not yet.
I don't want to add more stress for him.

(COUGHING)

Malcolm! You okay?

(GASPING AND COUGHING)

Hey, man.

Hey. Malcolm.

Good to see you, brother.

Mmm. Thought I was gonna die in there.

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm all good.

They got the green Jell-o today.

So much better than the yellow.

What's the difference?

It's a texture thing.

(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)

You're a fed?

That's gonna get you killed.

Thanks.

Homeland Security gonna come through?

(SIGHS) No. DOJ?

No.

I just got off the phone with Fiona.

Calvin Shaw and six other
inmates were poisoned.

They were just released
from the infirmary this morning.

Wait, what if this is what Reid
was covering up in our cognitive?

Could be.

With them back,
Reid knows they'll target him.

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING OVER RADIO)

(LINE RINGING)

-Garcia.
-What do you need?

Metro P.D. found Cassie's car

and called it in immediately.

No signs of her or Diana. No foul play.

There are...

There are three visible cameras.

One nearby and two down the way.

I can tap into them, see what I can find.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Oh, oh, uh, uh,
Walker and JJ are calling in.

-You want me to patch you through?
-Please.

Walker, JJ, you're on with Alvez.

Hey, Luke, no luck finding
Cassie or Diana.

All right. Well,
I'm at Cassie's car right now.

Forensically, it's a dead end,

but, uh, behaviorally
we might have something.

It's parked down the block
from a high school.

A high school is where
Jack Vaughan killed Lindsey's abductor

in front of her and Spence.

Well, placing the car there
could be a taunt at us.

That's what I'm thinking.

I can look into that. I can...

Oh!

Garcia?

Oh, uh, uh, per Emily,
I was supposed to look

at the recent foot traffic
in and out of Reid's building.

There is no sign of Carol Atkinson,

but a Jaime Lamantia keeps popping up.

She lives in unit 26
down the hall from Reid.

She paid six months of her rent
up front in cash,

and there's been not a peep
from her since.

How's Jaime connected to Lindsey?

No, no, there's no connection.
You don't understand.

They're the same. They're the same person.

Carol Atkinson is Jaime Lamantia
who is Lindsey Vaughan.

I'm 20 minutes from Reid's apartment.

Yeah, we're 10.

(SIREN BLARING)

It's Cassie.

Stephen.

(BEEPING)

Emily...

Yeah. Thanks.

(BEEPING)

JJ and Walker just found Cassie's body
in Reid's building.

She'd been shot
once in the head, execution style.

Lindsey used a second alias
to rent an apartment down the hall.

What about Diana?

She's been abducted.

They found surveillance photos
taken of Reid before his arrest.

Lindsey's been spying on him for months.

I can't believe it.

Everything Reid said was right.

I didn't want to before,
but I have to tell him now,

for his own safety.

He'll want to help find her.

That's what I'm afraid of, and he can't.

This could be what
pushes him over the edge.

Thanks for coming in, Kevin, all right?

I'm sorry we couldn't talk
about this on the phone.

No problem. How can I help?

We need access to
Lindsey and Jack Vaughan.

I can't do that.

It's protocol. I'm not allowed.

We've linked her to an abduction/homicide
of a team member's family.

Ballistics confirmed the gun
belonged to Jack Vaughan,

but the shooter used modified
hollow-point bullets.

That's not Jack's M.O.

Jack Vaughan's been a model citizen

his entire time in the program.

Lindsey bailed out five years ago.

Do you have any idea where she is?

We don't track people after they leave.

Come on, man.

Luke, my hands are tied.

Like in Yemen?

'Cause I'm sure the Deputy
Director would love to know about that.

(SIGHS)

I'm out of options, man.

(SIGHS)

Give me a few hours.

I can get you a meet with Jack
in a neutral location,

Beloit, Wisconsin,
for no more than 30 minutes.

Understood?

Thank you. We owe you.

Appreciate it.

I'm sure that wasn't
how you wanted to play it.

It wasn't my first choice.

Grab Walker. Get to the jet.

I'm going to the prison.
Reid deserves to know everything.

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

PRENTISS: I'm so sorry, Spencer.

We will find her, I promise.

We'll find her, okay?

Ballistics came back
on the gun that was used on Cassie.

It's the exact weapon Jack Vaughan used

when he was a mob enforcer in Boston.

Lindsey must have taken it
from her father.

Maybe she wanted his reputation

or she just wanted to make sure her dad

knew what she was doing.
The reasons are unimportant.

What's important is you were right,

and I should have believed you
from the start

-and I didn't.
-It's because she's a daddy's girl.

Go on, Daddy, kill him!

Son of a bitch, he killed her.
He killed Katie!

The gun is an odd touch of sentimentality

for an otherwise logistical killer.

She took the gun
because she's a daddy's girl,

because they were inseparable.

Yeah. Yes, we can use that.

We're already trying
to track him down in WITSEC.

You need to find him. He's the key.

We know.

And hurry.

Find my mom.

Promise me you'll find my mom.

Yes, I promise.

I know you're scared.

Try to isolate yourself.

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Thank you for meeting with me, Warden.

SSA Reid's in trouble.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can do for him.

All we want is protective custody.

In my house, that's a privilege.

And your friend hasn't exactly
been an altar boy.

It's just for a few days,
until we know he's safe.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

But why not?

The higher-ups but a block on him.

He's gen pop all the way.

But SSA Reid is in extreme danger.

Who here isn't?

There are extenuating circumstances.

Know how many times a day I hear that?

I give in to him,
the others will come crying.

SSA Reid has rights.

He sure does.

And those are being met,
I promise you that.

I have his lawyer standing by.

Look, I know the FBI don't have his back,

which means y'all are on an island.

(GROANS)

Okay. I know it's
a different agency and all

but couldn't someone
have told us that Lindsey left WITSEC?

No. It's for her own protection.

The marshals stay away
unless you're in trouble.

Even our own case agents
aren't told about their member status.

-How'd it go with Reid?
-As expected.

He thinks Lindsey's using her father's gun

as a way to carry on his legacy.

Makes sense, given her daddy issues.

And I spoke to the warden
about putting Reid in protective custody,

but he said no.

Okay. More ballistics

literally just came in
on Jack Vaughan's gun,

and, oh, my goodness,
Lindsey has been a busy evil bee.

LEWIS: How busy?

That gun has been involved

in 15 murders in the last five years.

Single shot to the back
of the head with a modified hollow-point.

That's our Lindsey.

You guys see the geographical pattern?

All of the kills
are along the U.S-Mexico border.

And each of the victims
have apparent cartel ties.

So, Lindsey's been a cartel hit woman

ever since she left the program.

Okay, but why is she using her dad's gun?

That helps us, and it's risky for her.

It's an impulse. It's not a choice.

BELOIT, WISCONSIN

Jack, I'm SSA Alvez, this is SSA Walker,

and we're with the BAU.

We need to find Lindsey.

Jack, have you seen her?

No. What's this about, anyway?

I'm 10 years in, all of a sudden

you guys want to talk to me.

Lindsey's in trouble.

ALVEZ: Your gun was used in a murder

in D.C. recently and others like it
over the last 5 years.

She must have hid it
before WITSEC had the chance to find it.

Look, I'm not gonna lie.

This is bad for her.

When we get Lindsey, and we will get her,

she'll be inside for life.

(SIGHS)

But at least you can see her.

She contacted you recently?

I talked to her about two months ago
on the phone.

She called me and she
wanted to know about some

high-grade pharmaceuticals in Mexico,

something I never heard of.

What kind? What are they called?

I don't know. It was like...

Scope something, I don't know.

Scopolomine and sevoflurane.

Yeah. How'd you know that?

Thanks, Luke.

Jack said Lindsey was looking
for the exact same drugs Scratch uses.

Scratch has a long reach.

Look at that riot in the prison last year.

You know,
it's possible he has help on the inside.

Maybe we can go to the warden

and get him to give us
protective custody again.

No, the warden is a dead end.

We have to go to the courts.

How? It's not like
you can just walk up to the judge.

Or I could.

Whoa, whoa.

Now, is that legal, Emily?

It is. It's just inappropriate

and a relative long shot.

What will Fiona say?

Well, I wouldn't tell her.

I would make the request
as a federal agent,

not an advocate for the defendant.

The deal is I save your ass.

That's enough charity.

I'm not gonna move the drugs.

You're losing it.

Check.

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

You're gonna need to grow eyes

in the back of your head,

because you'll never see it coming.

I have a better idea.

What's that?

Ahhh!

No, no, I didn't do it!

I didn't...

It wasn't me, man!

(ALARM BUZZING AND PEOPLE SHOUTING)

He did it!

Look, look!

Why would Scratch choose Lindsey?

I mean, her ties to Reid are distant.

Walker and I,
we kicked it around on the flight,

and we imagine that
Scratch was digging further

into Reid's past and he saw that Lindsey

had become a contract killer.

Realized she could get to him
in a way that he couldn't.

It may be logistical, too.

Scratch has never run out of drugs before,

but now he's a fugitive
and might not be able to get them.

Well, Lindsey knows the border.

She'd be a good drug mule.

Good news, bad news.

I am on the books first thing tomorrow

with Judge Frost and AUSA Martinez.

But all we have is a theory

and no support from the brass.

That's never stopped us before.

I guess we have 12 hours
to make an airtight case

for you to bring to them.

Yes. Not only that,
we also need a paper trail.

I'll put on the coffee.

(BEEPING)

Excuse me.

Hey, were you able
to get Lindsey's print files from WITSEC?

I'm close, but I need more time.

Garcia, what's wrong?

Reid stabbed himself
to get into solitary confinement.

Oh, that's great.

What?

Well, he found a way to isolate himself

without hurting anybody else.

Okay. Here.

What is this?

It's my letter of resignation.

-Penelope.
-No.

If Reid dies, I quit.

We won't let that happen.

Emily, I'm exhausted,

and it is breaking me, and this whole year

has been an emotional roller coaster.

It's like every time something happens,

there's a piece of myself
that is being chipped away,

and if one more thing goes down,

I don't think there's
going to be anything left.

We leave no stone unturned.

LEWIS: Hey, guys.

Okay. I got Carol Atkinson
crossing the border at Los Indios.

There's a factory nearby that manufactures

non-FDA-approved seasickness tablets.

Essentially, scopolamine pills.

Los Indios is only a 40-minute drive
to Matamoros.

Looks like we've got
Lindsey where we need her.

Now, we put the knife in her hand.

Medic! Cell block C, now!

SHAW: I helped you because I like you.

But you keep this up,

keep thinking the normal
rules apply in here,

then I cannot help you.

Good luck, brother. You're gonna need it.

(MUFFLED SHOUTING)

(POUNDING)

SHAW: I can get you anywhere.

I own this place.

You really think you can get away with it?

Not in here.

Not on my watch.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Rick, what have you got?

Well, okay guys, Jack's gun
was used in Mexico

the day before Nadie's murder.

What, another cartel hit?

No. The victim was a Victor Flores.

He was a local real estate broker,

a model citizen.

Point-blank, back of the head,
with a modified hollow-point bullet.

That's Lindsey, all right.

Why are we only hearing about it now?

Because it was in Monterrey.

It's a different jurisdiction.

Okay so,

she crosses the border at Los Indios,

which is very close to Matamoros,

drives three hours west
to Monterrey, kills Victor,

and then drives
four hours east to Matamoros?

All possible within a day's drive.

Sure, but why go to all the trouble?

Why pick Victor Flores?

It sounds too random to be random.

All right. All right, thanks, Rick.
I owe you.

Mexican authorities found
an abandoned truck last week

that matches the one Reid described.

It was dumped two states over.

Did it belong to a Victor Flores?

-Yeah. How'd you know that?
-Lindsey killed him before Nadie.

She must have stolen his truck, too.

All right, well,
we're making some real headway here.

Yeah, and it's great.
Guys, don't get me wrong,

but it's all circumstantial.

Garcia, any luck finding Lindsey's prints
from her WITSEC file?

I called in every favor
I can think of and then some.

It's gonna take me, like, five more hours

to cut through all the red tape.

I have to be at the courthouse in one.

Agent Prentiss,
calling a meeting like this

is highly irregular.

I understand, and I appreciate your time

under these unique circumstances.

If you're advocating
on behalf of Spencer Reid,

shouldn't Ms. Duncan be present?

I am not here on his behalf.

I asked for this meeting
in my official capacity

as government agent.

(SCOFFS) That's absurd and inappropriate.

You don't even have FBI support.

Regardless, the BAU believes that
the murder of Nadie Ramos

was committed by a contract killer

with personal ties to the team,

at the behest of a serial killer
we've targeted for years.

I'm sure you've heard of Occam's razor,
Agent Prentiss.

Their continued partnership
is a major security risk,

threatening the lives of...

How dare you attempt
to minimize the life of Nadie Ramos.

I'm doing no such thing.

Nadie deserves justice.

Every word in here is circumstantial.

If you compare the partial prints
found at the scene

to Lindsey's from her WITSEC file,

it proves she did this.

-And where's that report?
-It's on its way now.

So you have nothing definitive here, now.

(CHUCKLES) Unreal.

An innocent man...

His possessions were found
at the crime scene

covered in the victim's blood,

a cut on his hand
matching the murder weapon.

You call that innocent?

Until proven otherwise, yes.

Another woman was in that motel room.

The M.O. matches.

Agent Reid was high out of his mind.

Not exactly the best witness.

I guarantee Lindsey was there.

I know if I chose to ignore protocol

and waste the judge's time,
I'd certainly propose

more than a couple
of loosely tied theories.

-I'd bring evidence.
-We are!

But until you do...

That's enough, Counselor.

Agent Prentiss, you know as well as I do,

every piece of this must be
checked out thoroughly.

Yes, Your Honor.

And that's gonna take time.

Which is something he doesn't have.

(SHOUTING AND GRUNTING)

(CELL DOOR UNLOCKS)

(GRUNTS)

Help!

(MUFFLED SHOUTING)

Let's go.

SHAW:
You're gonna need to grow eyes

in the back of your head.

-(CELL DOOR CLANGING AND ECHOING)
-Hey, hey, sit down.

They're gonna beat you again.

(MUFFLED SHOUTING)

Might even kill you.

You'll never see it coming.

Argh!

You'll never see it coming.

I can get you anywhere.

I own this place.

We're taking you home.

You don't know who
you're messing with, Alvez.

Yes, I do.

Biggest cartels in the world

run things through walls like this.

There's no paper trail,
but based on your collections,

I can tell you're a, what, sergeant?

You're rewarded because
you got more time to get things done.

Let's say you're right.

Then you know we're 8,000 strong.

Not just inside these walls, but all over.

The Bureau's 80,000 strong,

and you betrayed us,

but it always comes back.

Good luck with that.

After you leave, I'll have all my stuff
back in a couple hours.

That would be impressive,

seeing you do that from FCI Milan.

Hold up... You transferring me?

To Michigan?

You won't get to see your son every week,

and rumor has it

that some of the Bratva family's
holed up in there.

You know, the Russian family
that you double-crossed to begin with,

and my understanding is that they are...

Excited to see you.

You don't think they hold grudges, do you?

-Let's get my mom back.
-Yeah.

I can't thank you enough
for going out on a limb on this.

No need to thank me, Agent Prentiss.
You're the one who risked everything.

We only did what we had to.

I'm just glad for his sake,
for everybody's sake,

that your analyst was able to get
those prints over here in time.

It was no short order, believe me.

I'm sure it wasn't,
and in the end, justice was served.

That's what matters.

I also wanted to apologize for my conduct

in your chambers.

I nearly allowed my emotions

to carry the situation,
and it was out of line.

Well, given the circumstances,

it's more than understandable.

Thank you again, Your Honor.

-Have a good night, Agent Prentiss.
-You, too.

So, we know Lindsey convinced Scratch
to run drugs across the border.

And that Lindsey's
been operating from two locations...

An apartment next to Reid
and a house in southeast D.C.

And that's where we think
she's keeping your mom.

Scratch isn't afraid to
plot an elaborate trap.

I want a full breakdown of that house

before we set one foot inside.

Um...

Spencer.

You can't officially go
until you're reinstated.

So that includes going to my apartment,

since it's a crime scene.

That's right. It's sealed
and guarded by Metro P.D.

But you are the resident.

-You got it?
-Got it.

You all right?

Uh, it's open.

Of course.

(DISTANT SIREN BLARING)

He's the resident.
He's just gonna grab a few things.

What is it?

This picture was on a different page.

Does that mean something to you?

Only the obvious,
male and female chromosomes,

Lindsey's way of telling us
she's with Scratch.

Alvez, Lewis, take the back.

Walker and Rossi with me at the front.

All right, we're in. Give us a five-count.

Let's go.

FBI! Show your hands!

Hands up, now!

-Put it down.
-It's for you.

Get up, turn around, slowly.

Get down.

This is for you.

She said it was for you, for the FBI.

ALVEZ: You know who that is?

PRENTISS: Cat Adams?

♪ Ta-da ♪

Didn't expect me, did you?

Impersonating Scratch
was getting tiresome.

Now, if the good doctor
wants his mommy back,

send him to me.
He knows where to find me.

After all, he put me here.

But then again, I kind of
returned the favor, didn't I?

He and I have unfinished business.

Really?

We have to deal with Cat Adams again?

Yes.
She was pulling the strings all along.

And, wait,
Mr. Scratch's involvement was...

Never part of it.

Cat and Lindsey
were behind the murder of Nadie Ramos

and framing Spencer.

Why does she have it out so bad for Reid?

She was loosely affiliated
with a group of hit men.

About a year and a half ago,
Reid outsmarted her

when he pretended to be
a potential customer.

Do you know why I'm so good at my job?

Because you kill without
compunction or remorse.

She figured out she was
walking into a trap.

But Reid was able to
convince her to surrender

by telling here he would
take her to see her father.

I found your father.

Did he?

No. It was all a lie
to get her to drop the gun.

CAT: Here? He's here?

You lied to me.

She's been in prison ever since.

She's been nursing a grudge
for a long time.

Setting up Reid, making us and him

believe that it was Mr. Scratch
this whole time,

and now kidnapping his mother.

Where is she now?

Mount Pleasant
Women's Correctional Facility.

Wait, hold up.
Reid has to go back to prison?

He just landed.

GARCIA: Do you really think
that he can handle it?

I mean, all that Reid's been through.

Do you really think
he has the brain capacity

to do this right now?

She's right.
He's walking into one of the most

unstable situations anyone could face.

She's been in
solitary confinement six months.

We all know what that can do
to the psyche of an inmate.

At best, they suffer from delusions.

At worst, they're psychotic.

I took all of that into account.

That's why I didn't
send Reid in there alone.

ROSSI: So, well, what's the play here?

We hope that Reid
can profile his mom's location

out of Cat, and we just
wait until he does?

That's part one.

Part two is we refocus and rebuild
based on what we know,

and search for any leads we missed

because of our faulty assumptions.

Well, since we're on that topic,

Reid shouldn't be in there at all.

He's as compromised as it gets.

He hasn't even been reinstated.

If we send him into the lion's den,

we're giving her exactly what she wants.

Now, if I'm the only one thinking this,

I apologize, but...

No. You're not the only one thinking it.

We could send in JJ instead.

Yeah, JJ would have a cooler head.

She'd be better able
to assess Cat's ground game.

And we'd be more likely to force a mistake

if we throw Cat off from her plan.

Nobody's changing the plan. Am I clear?

If we change the plan, Diana's dead.

If we lose Diana, we lose Reid

from this team forever.

After everything that's happened to him,

after everything that's happened to us,

we've made too many sacrifices for that.

So, this is what we're gonna do.

We are going to take one moment,

one moment of quiet,
one moment of despair,

one moment of doubt,

one moment of hope
that Reid is strong enough for this.

I'll be here the whole time.

Did you all take your moment?

Good. Now shut it out.

Shut everything out.

Because nothing else matters,
except for her.

(DOOR CLOSES AND LOCKS)

Spencie.
