Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 12, Episode 22 - Red Light - full transcript

With J.J. by his side, Reid goes to see Cat Adams in prison, she, in partnership with Lindsey Vaughan, who were the ones who orchestrated everything that happened to him in Mexico, including his incarceration, with Lindsey now holding Diana hostage somewhere unknown. Reid knows that he will go into a psychological game with Cat, much like he did in their previous encounter, with the one big difference which may affect how Reid is able to handle the situation being that Diana's life is on the line. The rest of the team remains at headquarters, where they have to figure out the connection between Cat and Lindsey: what brought them together as partners in this venture, how they have been able to communicate with each other with Cat in solitary confinement in prison, and how Cat in particular seems to know as much as she does about Reid's personal life. Prentiss decides to use a controversial and less than ethical approach to advance the case, most specifically in locating Lindsey and a hopefully still alive Diana. Meanwhile, an old friend of the BAU returns with some disturbing news, but news that may assist in dealing with one of their long time nemeses.

ROSSI: Previously on
Criminal Minds...

It wasn't Scratch
who framed me.

It was a woman.

PRENTISS: If you compare the partial
prints found at the scene to Lindsey's,

it proves she did this.

-We're taking you home.
-(GASPS)

Ta-da.

We have to deal with Cat Adams again?

Cat and Lindsey were behind
the murder of Nadie Ramos.

ALVEZ: She's been nursing
a grudge for a long time,

setting up Reid,
now kidnapping his mother.



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.

Spencie.

Where's my mother?

-I missed you.
-What did you and Lindsey do to her?

-How did you...
-Now stop.

You don't get to walk in here
and hiss at me like I'm the criminal.

Now, we do this my way.

-(CHAIR CLATTERS)
-Have a seat.

-How was prison? Did you like it?
-No.

It's not fun, is it?



Unlike you, I didn't
deserve to be there.

How did you stay sane?

A brain like yours needs stimulation
in such a gray place.

I worked in the laundry room
and I played chess.

That's three, maybe four hours, tops.
What about the other 20?

-I read.
-That's still not enough.

You have to... Go someplace.

Up here.

Or else you go crazy.

Do you want to see where I go?

I'll show you. Come here.

No touching.

Close your eyes.

Good. Now keep them shut.

Sit back and relax.

Now, when you open your eyes,

I want you to look at me
like I'm the first woman you've seen

after being in prison for three months.

CAT: Now... Open.

Hello, Cat.

(GIGGLES) You're here!

You're really here.

There's nowhere else I would rather be.

You're good at this.

You're so good at this,

I almost believe
you don't want to kill me.

-I don't want to kill you.
-No?

No.

What if I let your mother die?

Then would you kill me?

Or would you just...

Hurt me?

Would you pin me down and leave
bruises that don't go away?

Is that what you want?

I guess I just want
to know if you would.

If you could.

No.

No?

It's not the kind of man I am.

Do me a favor and tell blondie over there
to step aside,

because we're gonna
play another game.

And this time, we're going to find out

exactly what kind of man you are.

-Let's play.
-Let's!

PRENTISS: "The villainy you
teach me I will execute.

"And it shall go hard.

"But I will better the instruction."

William Shakespeare.

CAT: Are you hungry?

No.

Me neither.

So the same game as last time?

I answer every question
you ask honestly?

No, this time you
get to ask the questions.

About what?

Well, I know a secret.

About you.

And you can ask me as many
questions as you like to figure it out.

But you only get one guess
as to what it is.

Now, guess correctly,
I take your phone,

I call our friend Lindsey,

and I tell her to release
your mother unharmed.

If you don't...

(GIGGLES)

-Is there a clock?
-There's always a clock.

Give it to me.

Now, you'll have four hours.

Not yet.

You have to wait till the
second hand comes around.

Wanna give me a hint
before we start?

-Do I look like a girl that gives hints?
-Actually, you do.

Okay, how about this?

It's a secret you'll never admit to.

Go.

Up till now, Cat Adams
has only worked solo.

PRENTISS: But this is a partnership.

So we need to figure out how these
two hit women were able to work together,

especially when one of them
was in solitary.

And hit men are driven
by profit and self-preservation.

They don't take a job unless
they know all the angles.

So, to predict their behavior we need
to ask ourselves a simple question.

We know why Cat wanted revenge on Reid.

Why does Lindsey?

ROSSI: Ten years ago,
Reid tried to talk Lindsey's father

out of one last murder.

Cut to last year, and she finds out
her BFF Cat has been arrested

by the same federal agent
who tried to stop her daddy.

ALVEZ: So Lindsey's emotions
trumped her professionalism.

She could grab and kill
Reid's mother without a trace.

But instead, she waltzed
Diana into his prison

because she wanted him and us
to know that she was involved.

PRENTISS: But there's risky
and there's reckless.

It's kind of hard to buy that Lindsey
would commit to doing all of this

just because Reid kind of sort of
got in her way 10 years ago.

(MUFFLED CRIES)

(TRUNK SLAMS)

We're missing something.

(TEXT MESSAGE BUZZES)

Oh, damn. Lindsey's APB
didn't turn anything up.

Neither did Diana's photo on the National
Center for Missing Adults database.

Lindsey's too good to get
caught in those dragnets.

She's probably already changed cars
and appearance by now.

(TEXT MESSAGE ALERT)

PRENTISS: Okay, I want a full
breakdown on Lindsey's life.

Aliases, contacts, hits,

-where she gets her hollow point rounds.
-Yeah, Walker and I will take that.

Then I want a list of everyone
who was in Cat's prison in the past year.

Cat was communicating with Lindsey
through a maximum security facility.

Somewhere there is
a weak link to her chain.

We'll find it.

Hey. I, I got your text message.

I'm confused. You want me to see
if there are any missing children?

No. I asked if any Amber
Alerts had been issued tonight.

-No. Is that important?
-Yes. I'm gonna put one out.

You're gonna put out Diana Reid's face
and say she's a missing child?

No, I'm gonna put Lindsey's out
as an abductor.

People pay attention
to Ambers, and that's what we need.

Okay. Oh...

I'll do it.

Penelope, no. It's my call.

Which means I'll take responsibility
for it. Just pull the screen up, okay?

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

I need you to leave.

Right now.

(KEYS CLACKING)

All right. We got 30 employees
that worked on Cat's wing.

And these four, they don't have
any disciplinary problems.

So Cat used one,
or more likely more than one

to coordinate with Lindsey
on the outside.

That's the good news.

Oh, lovely. We need more bad news.

The guard union got wind
that I was sniffing around.

These 26 potential accomplices,
they can't be interviewed

without submitting all questions
through the local 292

-and their accompanying attorneys first.
-Okay. Let's do some digging.

A couple of these folks are gonna
look more guilty than the rest.

We'll winnow it down
and then deal with the local.

What have you got?

We looked for overlap with all of
Lindsey's known aliases and we found one.

She made multiple purchases
using multiple IDs at the same location.

-Fords Gun Shop.
-And wouldn't you know it,

he has the largest selection of hollow
point ammunition in the tri-state area.

Go, quickly. We are on Cat's clock now.
We only have three and a half hours left.

I know what the secret is.

You do?

Why else would you
put me through all this?

Ooh. Phrasing it
in the form of a question.

That way it doesn't
count as a guess. Very smart, Doctor.

I'm gonna walk you through a scenario,

and your face is gonna
tell me how close I am.

From the moment I arrested you,

you watched and waited
for the right time to take your revenge.

When you learned I was going
to Mexico, you took it.

You and Lindsey framed me for murder

so I'd be put in prison
and treated like a criminal,

and then you kidnapped my mother
so I would know how it feels

to have a parent manipulated,

because you want to prove
that you and I are the same.

Am I right?

(YAWNS LOUDLY)

Mmm.

Sorry, I couldn't
hold that in any longer.

What were you saying?

Psychopaths get bored easily.

You're right. Let's speed this up.

Shall we?

Why don't you think about all the pain

you've suffered in your life.

What would I capitalize on,
do you think?

Is it the death of your mentor,

SSA Jason Gideon?

No.

Because we caught
the man who killed him.

What about Agent Morgan?

And your guilt over not
visiting his little boy.

I was in prison.

Yeah, but you had time before that.

Why didn't you go?

Truthfully, I got distracted. I was trying
to figure out a way to help my mom.

She didn't have time.

Morgan, Savannah,
and little Bobby did.

So there's absolutely
no shame in admitting that.

Morgan would understand.

I agree.

That's why that's not the secret.

Good job, Spence.

(LINE RINGING)

Go ahead, JJ.

So Cat has deep
background on Spence.

She knew about Gideon's death, and Morgan
leaving the team for his family.

She's throwing him off-balance.

Yeah, but Spence also purposely
gave the wrong name of Morgan's son,

and she didn't correct him.

She must have gotten her hands
on Reid's confidential FBI file.

It would mention relevant team information
but wouldn't name Morgan's baby

because of confidentiality reasons.

We were thinking she's been getting help

from someone inside the prison.

This goes deeper than that.

Huh.

Nope.

You've never seen this woman?

She didn't buy hollow point rounds
from you?

No, ma'am.

See, it's the way you said, "Huh."

It makes me think you have seen her
and then you decided to cover and say no.

Huh.

Look, Mr. Fords, we appreciate

that our kind isn't welcome around here.

Hey, I don't judge folks
by the color of their skin.

Well, I was thinking more
us being federal agents.

The last thing you want is your customers
to see you ratting them out to us.

Something did bother you
about this woman.

Like how she was so petite,
and yet so experienced

around a hand cannon like
a .50-caliber Desert Eagle.

Or the fact that she used
multiple identities

-when she was buying ammunition for it.
-Second.

That's the amendment that guarantees
my customers' right to bear arms.

Fifth. That's the amendment

where my customers'
right to privacy is established.

Griswold v. Connecticut, I believe.

This woman works for the drug cartels.

We need to find her before
she kills another victim.

Cartels? Her?

Jesus wept. That's one hell of a story.

Well, tell us another one, then.

The reason why that little miss
has multiple IDs

is because she's been harassed
by bigots her entire life.

And now her and her fiancé fell in love.

Her fiancé? She was engaged?

And just as I don't judge race,
I don't judge folks

by who they love, either.

Now get the hell out of my store,

'cause unless there's a Supreme Court
case I haven't heard of,

Obergefell v. Hodges
is still the law of the land.

Working deductively, the secret wouldn't
be any topic you've already volunteered,

because you wouldn't want
to make it that easy on me.

Genius, truly.

So what is left that
I wouldn't want to admit?

Love.

Is that what this is all about, love?

For my mother?

No.

For you.

You want me to admit
that I am actually...

In love with you.

Don't get me wrong,
I love my fairy tales, clearly,

as much as the next girl,
but I'm not delusional.

-Are you sure about that?
-Very sure.

So sure, in fact, that I had Lindsey
leave a clue for you

in your little scrapbook in your house.

CAT: I couldn't have you come
all the way down here and make a guess

until I was positive.

That is...

Until I tested positive.

What, you're pregnant?

We're pregnant.

-No.
-Oh, yes.

Mazel tov.

-(DOORS CLANGING)
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

-Here you are, ma'am.
-Thank you.

-(BUZZER SOUNDS)
-(DOOR SHUTS)

REID: It's not possible.

Even if you are pregnant,
the baby's not mine.

-Except for the part where it is.
-That's completely preposterous.

-You've been in prison.
-So have you.

-And we've never...
-I know. We've never...

Ask me how I did it.

Come on, ask me.

How did you do it?

I had Lindsey dose you in Mexico.

You lost time.

And I gave her very specific instructions
to get you in the mood.

-What, did she pretend to be you?
-Why, would that have worked?

No.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Believe me, I know exactly where I stand
on the Spencer Reid hot-or-not list.

I told her to pretend to be Maeve.

Maeve Donovan.

The love of your life.

Who had her brains blown out
right in front of you

before you two could even kiss.

So dark...

Yet so useful.

You're lying.

Spencer, it's Maeve. It's okay.

Spencer, Spencer...

Spencer, it's Maeve.

It's okay.

I'm here.

Shh.

You want this.

It's okay.

You want this.

It didn't happen.

Hey, I was thinking, if it's a boy,

we should definitely
call him Spencie Junior.

But if it's a girl,
I think we should call her Maeve.

I mean, after all, she played such
a huge role In her own conception.

Spence, we might have something.

She's three months. The timeline matches,

but that doesn't necessarily mean...

I'm sorry, it's not you.

I just need a minute.

-JJ, you there?
-Uh, yeah. Yeah, go ahead.

So far we don't have anything
on the prison employees.

Somebody in there is helping her, but
nobody jumps out as the obvious culprit,

and it doesn't help
they're blocking us at every turn.

We have something, but, uh,

-it's out there.
-I'll take out there.

The gun store owner was more
of a libertarian than you would think.

He talked about how he never judged
his customers or who they loved.

That's weird.

Yeah, not as weird as when
he mentioned Obergefell.

The Supreme Court decision
that legalized gay marriage.

You said we were missing something in
the relationship between these two women.

-What if it's this?
-The risks that Lindsey's taking,

the bond she as with Cat,
it's not professional.

It's romantic.

Well, this casts a big shadow over
Lindsey's next move.

By exposing their plan
to us, she knows

there's no happy ending,
no future with Cat.

And she's going to take
Reid's mother with her.

That's the ultimate act of revenge
against the guy who took her lover away.

JJ, what do you have?

Will you take me off speaker?

(BEEPS)

Are you kidding me? Are you kidding?

Well, here's where it gets tricky.
Do we believe her or not?

On the one hand, getting pregnant
is a power control move

straight out of the female
psychopath handbook.

-On the other hand...
-If her story is true,

it meant she sent her lesbian lover

down to Mexico to get Reid to...
Ugh, yeah.

Either way, she is pregnant.

I just refuse to believe
it belongs to Spence.

It could be the person
inside the prison who's been helping her.

Getting pregnant serves two purposes.

Gaslighting Reid and emotional blackmail
against that employee.

Yeah, but Emily,
we don't know who that guy is yet.

(CELL PHONE BEEPING)

Alvez and Rossi aren't going to
in the time we have left.

JJ, I gotta call you back.

How ya doin', good-lookin'?

Come on, now, it doesn't
cost anything for a smile.

-(CELL PHONE ALERT BUZZES)
-(BEEPS)

(CELL PHONE ALERT BUZZES)

Hello?

Uh, yeah, 911?
That alert you guys sent out...

I think she's here. I mean, she's blonde,

but I think I heard noises
coming from her trunk.

-Yeah, it was...
-(GUN COCKS)

-(BUZZER SOUNDS)
-(DOOR SHUTS)

REID: Let's pretend
you're telling the truth.

That means I guessed it, right?
The secret I don't want to admit to?

-It's my child?
-Is that your guess?

You only get one, remember?

No. It's too easy.

Believe me, getting pregnant
with your baby was not easy.

You misunderstand.
It's too easy emotionally,

because I can take
your child from you.

The child I had absolutely
no role in creating,

but a child that I would
care for better than you.

-That's rude.
-It's true.

You can't be a mother, Cat.

I'm not trying to insult you.
It's your psychological makeup.

You literally do not have
the emotional skills

to care for another human being.

You'd lose interest in your own baby

the way a six year old
loses interest in a pet hamster.

This baby is simply a means to an end,

which is to keep me here
playing your game, guessing like a fool,

assuming something I never
should have assumed in the first place.

And what would that be?

My mother's already dead.

-She was dead before I walked in here.
-She's not dead.

-Yes, she is.
-No, because that would be cheating,

-and I don't cheat. You cheat.
-I'm done playing.

-Get back here.
-Goodbye, Cat.

I'll let you talk to her!

(LINE RINGING)

GARCIA: Yes, I'm here.

Garcia, get ready to trace a call
on Spence's phone.

Fired up, plugged in. Ready to go.

(DIALING)

(LINE RINGING)

LINDSEY: (ON PHONE) You're early.

-Yeah, I know.
-Did he guess?

No, not yet. We need proof of life.

All right. Hold on.

-DIANA: (ON PHONE) Spencer!
-Mom, Mom, are you okay?

I don't... (VOICE CATCHES) Know.

-(EXPLOSION)
-Mom!

Gotta go.

Mom!

-What the hell was that?
-I don't know.

Lindsey said you were early.
Was that a signal?

Was that a prearranged signal
to kill my mother?

-Tell me the truth!
-I am.

-Tell me the truth!
-I am!

You want to know the truth?

Your mother is an Alzheimer's-ridden moron

who's getting dumber day by day,
and if she's dead, it's your fault.

-Spence!
-I'm going to kill you.

-Spence.
-I'm going to kill you.

Spence, she's pregnant.
Spence, she's pregnant!

-Stop it!
-I'm going to kill you.

Come on. Come on.

(GASPS, COUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Richmond county police
just reported a gas station explosion.

One victim, a male.

Whatever Lindsey did, we have to
assume your mom's still alive.

Hey.

I'm really scared this is who I am now.

No. Don't say that.

(STAMMERING) Jennifer, you don't know...

I do know.

I know two inmates, Frazier and Duerson,

killed your friend Delgado
in front of you.

And I know they wanted you
to move their heroin,

and I also know that if you didn't,
you would have been next, right?

Spence, anyone in your spot
would have done the same thing.

-You wouldn't have.
-(SCOFFS) Yeah.

Yeah, I would have, Spence.

If someone was threatening my life,

you bet your ass I would.
It doesn't make you a bad person.

'Cause you know who does think like that?

That, that in you doing
what you had to do to survive

somehow makes you a psychopath?

She does.

She does.

She does.

-Because she, she knows.
-That's the secret.

-What I don't want to admit about myself.
-Hold up. Let's play this out,

because she will not lose to you twice.

She already said this wasn't about
you being the same.

Then it's about the game.
She thinks I cheated last time

because I lied about her dad,

so it's integral to her that she beats me
by following the rules.

Yeah, but Spence, she controls the rules,

and she will change them
to ensure that she wins.

-Which means I'm locked in.
-Like she is.

And she needs me locked in,
playing by her rules

a game I can't win, so she...

I got it.

Guess that's one way
to get you to put your hands on me.

Dance with me.

-Why?
-I don't want the people watching us

to hear what I'm gonna say next.

-Uh, you guys got this up?
-Streaming now.

JJ: Okay, uh, listen,
you're gonna hear a lot of weird stuff,

like Spence saying he is
the father of Cat's baby.

-Don't let that distract you.
-Uh, I'm sorry. Full stop.

-Why would Spence say he's the...
-Quiet.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

You had eyes on me while I was
in prison, didn't you?

Spencie, don't ruin
the moment.

I don't want to,
but I'm on the clock.

Answer my question.
Am I right?

Yes, you're right.

I wanted to make sure things
were just as uncomfortable

for you as they were for me.

That's what we missed,
the inside man that's been helping them.

He didn't just work at Cat's prison,
he worked at hers and Reid's.

-Garcia, look for any overlap.
-Compiling now.

Here's something. Lionel Wilkins.
He worked at both the Mount Pleasant

-and the Millburn correctional facility.
-Okay, look,

this guy could have gotten her pregnant,

but there's no way he could have gotten
his hand on Reid's file.

Not directly. He could have called in
a favor from a friend at the Bureau.

So someone must have wanted
to screw us this whole time.

Someone who's not gonna
work for the Bureau much longer.

REID: That's how you timed
everything so perfectly.

Like sending my mom and Lindsey to visit
me when I thought I was at my lowest.

Thought?

You sure you weren't?

No, I wasn't.

Because I didn't feel bad. I felt scared.

At how much I enjoyed

poisoning the other prisoners.

I had a hundred ways
of getting myself out of that situation,

and I picked the one that
would cause them the most pain.

Well, look at that.

You might end up saving
your mother's life after all.

Okay, Lionel Wilkins' primary residence
is in Falls Church,

but I also have a second address, it's
a cabin off of the Rappahannock River.

The cabin is in Lindsey's zone,
based on the gas station.

Helos are on the roof
forming up. Let's go.

She's in the backseat.

All right.

(GRUNTS)

I did everything
you and her wanted.

I'm done here, right?

They won't get there in time.
They must be on their way, right?

Your team is too good
to wait around, but...

You know me. I always have
a contingency plan.

So, they're walking into a trap.

(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)

And the only way out
is if you give me your phone

and your guess, right now.

When we first sat down,

you said you were going to show me
what kind of man I am.

And you have.

Every time I touch this,
you're getting warmer.

I'm waiting for a phone call.

So are we, Lindsey.

(RINGING)

Whoa, whoa. It's okay.

There it is.

If this is a trick,
I'm going to kill all of us.

I swear to you
it's not a trick.

And you'll want to hear what the person
on the other end of this line has to say.

REID: (ON PHONE)
At first I was furious,

because the secret had to be the baby
inside you. How could it be anything else?

But then I realized that somehow

you knew I liked hurting those men.

Now I know it's both things.

So which is it, Spence?

Come on. Don't fumble it now.
You're at the one-yard line.

You're not pregnant
with my child.

You got pregnant with Wilkins

to put me in as compromised
a position as possible.

But it should be mine.

I wish it were mine.

Because you and I...

We deserve each other.

That is the real secret.

(RINGING)

Kill her.

-Lindsey, I said...
-LINDSEY: You bitch.

You're pregnant?

Lindsey, sweetheart,
it's complicated, okay?

No, it's not.

Playing a game with Reid

was more important
than being faithful to you.

And if you do this, she wins.

Don't let her win.

We're clear.

-Is my mom okay?
-Yeah. She's fine.

We do deserve
each other, by the way.

You guessed right.

You lied, by the way.

You were going to kill
my mother regardless.

Yeah, I think you really
liked hurting those men.

And once you cross that line,

you can't ever go back.

(SOFTLY) Watch me.

Hey.

We need to talk.

-Derek, oh, my God.
-(CHUCKLES)

Oh, princess. Princess, princess.

It is so good to see you.

-I'm liking your new digs.
-Oh...

I'm not crazy about how I earned them.
It's been a tough year.

Yeah, I heard some of what
you've been going through.

I mean, not everything.
Why didn't anyone tell me

that the kid had been arrested?

Reid made a list of people
he was willing to see as visitors.

You weren't on it.
He was humiliated, and honestly,

we were barely keeping it together.
Garcia almost quit over it.

All right, that might explain
this text that I got,

but I don't know.
Something didn't feel right.

Garcia texted me,
said that Reid was out of prison

and that he did want to see me.

He was staying in an FBI safe house

where he was putting
his mother up for the night.

I didn't approve that.

-You don't call, you don't write.
-(SIGHS)

-Rossi...
-(BOTH LAUGHING)

-Oh...
-You don't even give us a heads-up

when you decide to pop in
at 3:00 in the morning.

-Oh, blondie, come here, come here.
-Hi.

Mmm. Oh, it is so good to see all of you.

Look, I wish I could say I was
just here to say hello, but, um...

We may have bigger problems.

You see what I'm saying about that text?
It does not sound like Garcia.

You do know what it does sound like.

A trap.

-Hey, baby girl.
-Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, it's you! It's really you!
Oh, you smell like...

You smell like hope and happiness.
It is really you.

Yes, it's me, but listen.
You gotta focus, okay?

Yeah. Anything. Anything. Focus.
Focus on what?

This text.

Oh, crap.

I know we're all tired, but we might have
a new lead on Mr. Scratch.

Somebody did a bang-up job
of cloning my cell phone

to send Morgan a fake text
luring him to a non-existent safe house.

And whoever
that somebody is has mad skills.

The kind of skills Scratch has.

Were you able to trace
where the hack came from?

Do you... Do you see what
I have to put up with?

Alvez, you'll always get
a location with this one.

You guys are all good to go.

Obviously Morgan can't come
with us. He's a civilian now.

We'll miss you out there.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it
out there in the field with you guys.

I think about it every day.

But between my old friends
and my new friends,

you guys are gonna go out there,

you're gonna handle your business,
make people feel safe,

and then you're gonna come home.
That's all that matters.

Let's saddle up.

Hey.

Walk me back to my lair.

So what's the other reason
you're not going with the team?

Baby girl, I made a promise to my son.

Now, obviously he's not old enough
to understand it,

but that's not what matters.

My promise was that
I would come home to him every night,

and so far, I haven't broken it.

How is Hank?

He just started walking.

-Well, it's more like this little waddle.
-(BOTH LAUGHING)

But the kid is walking.

You know, I had no idea
that I could love this much.

Okay, I just have to say something.

Of all the heroes I have met,
and I have met a lot of heroes,

you, Derek "Chocolate Thunder" Morgan,

are the most heroic.

Oh, oh, oh!

That's for you. This is for Hank.

And Savannah. This one is for you again.

Oh, speaking of Hank,
if you leave right now

you'll get home before he wakes up.

Actually, I told Savannah
I was going to catch a later flight.

I reached out to Reid for real.

I want to see him, I gotta see him,

so I'm gonna bring him some breakfast
and make sure him and his mom are okay.

(SIGHS)

I am so proud of you.

I love you, always.

But do you think you can try
to be a little friendlier to Alvez?

-Oh, my God.
-Hey, hey, hey. Look at me.

-He seems like a pretty all right kid.
-(STAMMERING)

It's complicated. I'll try.
I make no promises.

(SIGHS) Go save some lives, baby girl.

Okay.

(GASPS) Meow.

I hate it when you go,
but I love when you walk away.

Here's another one. (BLOWS KISS)

-Got it?
-Uh-huh.

Mmm-hmm. Me... Too... You.

All right, Voltron, sound off.

Have we dispatched units to the location
Scratch tried to lure us to?

I coordinated it before we left.
They're on their way.

SWAT will meet us
on-site at Scratch's house.

I know we all want
this son of a bitch's head on a platter,

but SWAT has to clear every single
room before we step foot inside.

Have they been briefed?
This guy's traps have traps.

The house itself could be a setup.

Or a waste of our time
so he can get away.

Whatever it is, he's gonna
try to take us by surprise.

We have to be ready for anything.

-(GROANS) Is everyone okay?
-Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, we're good.

(ENGINE ROARING)
