Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 15 - Annihilator - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY
ON "CRIMINAL MINDS"...

GOOD EVENING, AGENT JAREAU.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
BARNES.

I’M SORRY FOR
THE SUDDEN URGENCY
IN HAVING TO MEET TONIGHT.

HOWEVER, EFFECTIVE
IMMEDIATELY,

SSA EMILY PRENTISS WILL BE
PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE

PENDING AN INTERNAL REVIEW.

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT
TO MAKE.

I HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED
FROM ACTIVE DUTY.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND.

FOR HOW LONG?



INDEFINITELY.

JJ WILL CONTINUE BEING
ACTING UNIT CHIEF,

BUT AS OF TODAY,
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
LINDA BARNES

WILL BE PERSONALLY
OVERSEEING THE UNIT.

ARE WE UNDER
INVESTIGATION?

YES, WE ARE
UNDER INVESTIGATION.

COME IN.

I DON’T WANT TO BE
UNIT CHIEF,

NOT LIKE THIS.

I’VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES.

AND FOR LACK
OF A BETTER WORD,

IT SUCKS.

BUT YOU’RE GONNA DO
JUST FINE.

LINDA BARNES WILL TRY TO
PICK US APART ONE BY ONE.



THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE
TRYING TO PICK US APART

SINCE THE DOORS OPENED.

IT HASN’T WORKED YET.

BUT BARNES HAS SUPPORT
ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

LOOK, DAVE, I’M STILL TRYING TO
FIGURE A WAY TO GO AFTER HER.

AND YOU’RE GOING TO DO
IT BY BEING THE BEST
SOLDIER YOU CAN BE.

DON’T ROCK THE BOAT.
DON’T MAKE WAVES.

MY GUESS IS THAT’S HOW
SHE FORCED OUT EMILY.

AND YOU WON’T BE ALONE
ON THIS.

WE’RE GONNA CONTINUE
TO DO WHAT WE DO BEST...

WORK THE CASES,
SAVE LIVES.

NO ONE CAN ARGUE
WITH OUR RESULTS,

NOT EVEN BARNES.

THAT’S ONE HELL
OF A RALLY SPEECH.

THEY ARE MY SPECIALTY.

LOOK, WHY DON’T YOU
GO HOME, GET SOME REST?

IT’S BEEN A ROUGH NIGHT
FOR ALL OF US.

CAN’T GET ANY WORSE.

WHOO! PIZZA, PIZZA.

THANKS, RAY.
I’M STARVING.

ME, TOO.

DO I SMELL...

OH, COME ON, MAN, YOU
KNOW I HATE PEPPERONI.

BUT THE THREE OF US LIKE IT.

MAJORITY WINS.
HOUSE RULES, BROTHER.

COME OVER TO
THE DARK SIDE, CHARLIE.

LEARN TO LOVE PORK.

IT’S NOT THAT I DON’T,

BUT IT’S AN ARTERY
CLOGGER, OK?

OH, TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK!

MM-HMM.

MMM! MMM-MMM-MMM
MMM-MMM-MMM!

MMM! MMMM!

MM-HMM.

OHH. OH, MAN.

THAT’S GREAT.

DOES ANYBODY NEED ANYTHING
FROM THE KITCHEN?

PLATES? UTENSILS?

NO, THANKS.
HOT SAUCE, PLEASE.

OH! MMM!
YOU GOT IT.

THANKS, RAY.

REAL GOOD.

HA HA!
OH, BOY.

NAPKINS, TOO.

ALL RIGHT. HOT SAUCE
COMING RIGHT UP.

RAY! OHH!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO
DO THIS, MAN.

TIE THEM UP, RAY.

LAST NIGHT IN ST LOUIS,

4 ROOMMATES WERE KILLED
IN A RENTAL HOME

IN WHAT POLICE ARE CALLING
A ROBBERY TURNED HOMICIDE.

IT’S BRUTAL.

YEAH. LOOKS LIKE
THE TWO SIDES OF HIS BRAIN

WERE FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER.

LEFT SIDE WANTED
TO ROB THE PLACE,

THE RIGHT SIDE WANTED
TO CAUSE SOME DESTRUCTION.

YEAH, BUT BOTH SIDES GOT
EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED.

WHAT WAS TAKEN?

NOTHING TRACEABLE.
A COMPUTER, TABLETS,

CASH, JEWELRY, AND THE LIKE.

HOW LONG WAS IT BEFORE
LOCAL PD CALLED US IN?

THEY DIDN’T.
I CALLED AND OFFERED
OUR SERVICES TO THEM,

BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY
THE KIND OF CASE THE BAU
TAKES FROM HERE ON.

MAYBE IT’S JUST ME,
BUT I NEED A LITTLE HELP

UNDERSTANDING OUR NEW
CASE SELECTION CRITERIA.

WE WANT CASES
WITH GOOD OPTICS

THAT ARE ALSO QUICK
AND EASY TO CLEAR.

HERE WE HAVE 4 VICTIMS,

YOUNG UPSTANDING
PROFESSIONALS,

ALL OF WHOM THE PUBLIC
CAN EMOTIONALLY INVEST IN.

THE CRIME ITSELF
IS CONTAINED,

AND THE MOTIVE APPEARS
TO BE DETERMINED.

THE M.O. IS PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD.

THEIR HANDS AND MOUTHS
WERE DUCT-TAPED

AND THEY WERE
STABBED REPEATEDLY.

I SEE THE UNSUB
LEFT A KNIFE.

WERE THERE ANY PRINTS?

NEGATIVE.

WITH THIS MANY VICTIMS,
IT COULD BE A TEAM.

RIGHT. SHOULDN’T
RULE IT OUT.

YOU’RE RIGHT. OK.
WHEELS UP IN 20.

MEET YOU
ON THE TARMAC.

YOU’RE GOING INTO
THE FIELD WITH US?

YES.

NO OFFENSE, BUT YOU’RE
NOT A PROFILER.

TRUE, BUT I HAVE
WORKED IN THE FIELD,

AND A FRESH SET OF EYES
MIGHT BE USEFUL.

I KNOW YOU THINK
I’M THE ENEMY, BUT I’M NOT.

I CAN BE YOUR GREATEST
ADVOCATE IF YOU’D LET ME.

NOW, YOU’VE HAD SOME POOR
LEADERSHIP IN THE PAST,

BUT I KNOW I CAN HELP
RIGHT THE SHIP.

NO. YOU’RE WRONG.
EMILY PRENTISS
IS NOT A POOR LEADER.

SHE DEFINED WHAT
A UNIT CHIEF SHOULD BE.

I’M NOT GOING
TO STAND HERE

AND LET YOU DESTROY
HER CAREER LIKE THIS.

IF YOU’RE GOING,
I’M NOT.

YOU KNOW, THE KID
LOOKS A LITTLE FLUSH.

NEEDS A SICK DAY,
DON’T YOU THINK?

ANYBODY ELSE
NEED A SICK DAY?

GOOD. THEN AS AGENT JAREAU
SAID, WHEELS UP IN 20.

OK.

COME ON, GUYS, WE STILL
HAVE A JOB TO DO.

THESE PEOPLE
DESERVE JUSTICE.

"FAMILY QUARRELS
ARE BITTER THINGS.

"THEY’RE NOT LIKE
ACHES OR WOUNDS,

"THEY’RE MORE LIKE SPLITS
IN THE SKIN THAT WON’T HEAL

BECAUSE THERE’S
NOT ENOUGH MATERIAL."

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD.

SO EACH OF THE 4 VICTIMS
WERE IN THEIR EARLY 20s

AND RENTED A ROOM
FROM A HOUSE

OWNED BY AN AGM PROPERTIES.

LOOKS LIKE THEY
WERE A NAMELESS,
FACELESS LANDLORD.

BUT THE VICTIMS WEREN’T.

CHARLES COOK
TAUGHT HIGH SCHOOL MATH.

VICKY WILSON WORKED
AT A NONPROFIT.

JENNY KYLE
WAS IN MEDICAL SCHOOL

WHILE RAY MURPHY WAS
FINISHING UP LAW SCHOOL.

I DON’T SEE ANY RED FLAGS
IN THEIR PASTS.

NO CRIMINAL HISTORIES,
NO INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE.

NOT EVEN A SPEEDING TICKET.

THEY WERE JUST LIVING
NORMAL, REGULAR LIVES.

AND SURPRISINGLY,
NONE OF THEM APPEARED
TO BE HOOKING UP.

YOU’D THINK IN THOSE CLOSE
QUARTERS, THAT AGE GROUP,

THEY’D BE BOUND TO PAIR OFF.

LOOKING AT
THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA,

IT SEEMS THEIR HOUSE
WAS THE PLACE TO BE.

THEY HELD
DINNER PARTIES,

THEY HOSTED GAME NIGHT,

THEY HAD PEOPLE OVER
TO WATCH SPORTS.

THAT MUCH
FOOT TRAFFIC

WIDENS OUR INITIAL
SUSPECT POOL.

GOOD DAY. IT LOOKS
LIKE THE HOUSE

WAS A LOT MORE CROWDED
THAN WE THOUGHT.

THREE OTHER PEOPLE
LIVED THERE, TOO.

I’M SENDING YOU
THEIR INFORMATION NOW.

SO CORRINE JORDAN’S
A FLIGHT ATTENDANT.

SHE WAS IN ZURICH DURING
THE TIME OF THE MURDERS.

AND RACHEL WILLOW
IS AN ACCOUNTANT.

SHE SPENT THE NIGHT
AT HER SISTER’S

AND THEN HEADED STRAIGHT
TO THE PD AFTER
THEY NOTIFIED HER.

SHE’S WAITING FOR US
THERE NOW.

THAT LEAVES LARRY SCANLON,
A PSYCHOLOGIST

AT A MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC.

HE’S STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR.

WHICH MAKES LARRY
OUR PRIMARY SUSPECT.

HE NEEDS TO BE
LOCATED ASAP.

GARCIA, CHECK ALL OF HIS
RECENT ONLINE ACTIVITY.

OK.

ALVEZ,
WORK WITH THE LOCALS
TO SEARCH FOR LARRY.

MATT, HEAD TO THE M.E. WHILE
AGENTS JAREAU AND LEWIS
SET UP AT THE PD.

AGENT ROSSI, YOU AND I WILL
HEAD TO THE CRIME SCENE.

YOUR DAUGHTER’S IN
THE BAY AREA, HUH?

IT’S BEAUTIFUL UP THERE.

YEAH.

I HEAR YOU HAVE
A GRANDSON WHO’S 5?

MY SON JUST TURNED 6.

IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY

HE WAS IN MY ARMS
AT THE HOSPITAL,

AND NOW KENNY DOESN’T
WANT A HUG

WHEN I DROP HIM OFF
AT SCHOOL.

HMM.

I LOOK FORWARD
TO THE DAY THAT

I CAN SIT ON MY PORCH,
ENJOY THE SUNSET,

GLASS OF RED IN MY HAND,

WITH NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

OK. STOP.

STOP WHAT?

YOU’RE SNIFFING AROUND

TO SEE IF I’M
UP FOR RETIREMENT.

DON’T BE SO PARANOID,
AGENT ROSSI.

I’M JUST MAKING
CONVERSATION.

BESIDES, I’M IN NO
POSITION TO DO THAT.

THAT’S RIGHT. BECAUSE WHEN
IT’S TIME FOR ME TO RETIRE,

I’LL LET YOU KNOW.

OUR UNSUB CORRALLED
ALL 4 VICTIMS

AND KILLED THEM
HERE IN THE LIVING ROOM.

4 PEOPLE IS A LOT
TO CONTROL.

HE MUST HAVE USED
A GUN.

YEAH. THAT
AND THE DUCT TAPE.

BUT WHY BRING A KNIFE
TO A GUNFIGHT?

IT COULD HAVE BEEN
TO CONTROL THE NOISE.

OR THERE’S SOMETHING
SPECIAL ABOUT THAT KNIFE.

AND THIS WINDOW WAS
BUSTED OUT FROM THE INSIDE.

SO THE BREAK-IN WAS STAGED.

LOOKS LIKE IT.

AGENTS, I THINK
YOU SHOULD SEE THIS.

HE GRABBED THE MURDER
WEAPON FROM THERE.

WHERE DID YOU
FIND THAT?

UNDER ONE OF
THE VICTIMS’ BED... RAY MURPHY.

SO IT WASN’T JUST
LEFT OUT IN THE OPEN.

YOU’D HAVE TO KNOW
WHERE TO LOOK TO FIND IT.

GET THAT INTO EVIDENCE
AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

SO, THE UNSUB’S
AN INSIDER

WHO WANTED US TO THINK
HE’S AN OUTSIDER

AND HE HAS AN AX
TO GRIND WITH THEM.

IT’S LOOKING MORE AND MORE
LIKE LARRY DID IT.

I THINK FINDING HIM
SHOULD BE OUR MAIN FOCUS.

I’M GOING TO CALL GARCIA
AND SEE IF SHE’S MADE
ANY PROGRESS.

SEE HOW EFFICIENTLY THINGS
WORK WITHOUT AGENT PRENTISS?

SPENCER, OH, MY GOD.
WHAT DID YOU DO?

I HAD TO.

NO, YOU DIDN’T.

LIFE’S TOO SHORT FOR
PEOPLE LIKE LINDA BARNES.

SPENCE...

I WASN’T GONNA, YOU KNOW,
GO WITH HER

AND HELP HER
DISMANTLE THE TEAM.

THANK YOU FOR
STANDING UP FOR ME.

I APPRECIATE YOU
COMING TO THE HOUSE
FOR SUPPORT,

BUT WHAT YOU DID
WAS RECKLESS.

THE BAU IS UNDER THE
MICROSCOPE RIGHT NOW,

AND THE LAST THING
YOU SHOULD BE DOING

IS GIVING BARNES
MORE AMMUNITION.

YOU’RE MAKING
HER JOB EASIER.

WHY ARE YOU TRYING
TO GET RID OF ME?

WHAT?

EVER SINCE I GOT HERE,
YOU’VE BEEN TRYING
TO KEEP ME OUT OF...

NO, I JUST, UH...
NO, I WASN’T
EXPECTING ANYONE

AND THE PLACE...

SPENCE, STOP!

IT’S BEEN LESS THAN TWO DAYS
AND YOU’RE ALREADY LEAVING.

I’M... I...

OK, LOOK.

BARNES WANTS SOMEBODY
TO TAKE THE FALL

FOR WHAT HAPPENED
IN ROSWELL.

I’M WILLING TO BE
THAT SOMEBODY

IF IT WILL HELP
STABILIZE THE BAU.

YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS
WITH JJ.

THERE’S NO GUARANTEE
THAT SHE WON’T REPLACE HER

THE MINUTE YOU’RE GONE.

I THINK THAT
IF I GO AWAY FOR GOOD,

SHE’LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.

YOU CAN STILL FIGHT THIS.
WE CAN STILL FIGHT THIS.

AH...

MAYBE I DON’T WANT TO.

WELL, NOW WHO’S MAKING
IT EASY FOR BARNES?

DETECTIVE MORRIS...

I’M ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
LINDA BARNES.

WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE.

THANKS FOR GETTING
HERE SO QUICKLY.

WE’RE EXCITED
TO HAVE YOUR HELP.

I’M SSA JENNIFER JAREAU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

IS THERE A QUIET PLACE
WE CAN SET UP?

THE CONFERENCE ROOM’S
ALL YOURS.

I’LL JOIN YOU IN A MINUTE
TO GET YOU UP TO SPEED.

THAT’S NOT NECESSARY.
WE’VE ALREADY
HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.

CAN ONE OF YOUR PEOPLE
BRING ME A COFFEE?

OK. NO PROBLEM.

THANKS.

I’M SORRY.

FOR WHAT?

I DIDN’T ASK
IF YOU WANTED COFFEE.

GARCIA’S GOT
SOME NEW INFORMATION

ON THAT MISSING
ROOMMATE, LARRY SCANLON.

HEY, PENELOPE, ON SPEAKER.
I GOT JJ AND BARNES WITH ME.

COPY THAT.

UH, HERE WE GO.

LARRY SCANLON
HAS A LONG HISTORY

OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE

AND ALSO ONE OF
INDISCRIMINATE VIOLENCE.

TWO DUIs COST HIM HIS LICENSE,

AND THEN HE WAS PICKED UP

FOR POSSESSION
OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.

HOW DOES HE
STILL HAVE A JOB?

ACCORDING TO WORK REVIEWS,
HE IS AN IDEAL EMPLOYEE,

AND HE WILL DO ANYTHING
TO HELP HIS CLIENTS.

AND THE VIOLENCE?

UH, HE WAS IN TWO
BAR FIGHTS.

ONE HE STARTED,
THE OTHER HE FINISHED.

BOTH TIMES CHARGES
WERE FILED BUT THEN DROPPED.

OK, HOW DOES HE FIT IN
WITH THE HOUSE?

GOOD. OR AT LEAST
GOOD ENOUGH.

UH, UP UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO.

NOW, I’M COBBLING THIS
TOGETHER

FROM MESSAGES
ON THE VICTIMS’ PHONES,

BUT IT APPEARS THAT
LARRY AND RAY

GOT INTO A SCREAMING
AND SHOVING MATCH.

UH, THEN EVERYONE
IN THE HOUSEHOLD

UNANIMOUSLY VOTED
TO HAVE HIM THROWN OUT.

THEN WHEN LARRY TRIED
TO CONTACT THEM LATER,

NOBODY RESPONDED.
IT’S LIKE THEY DISOWNED HIM.

THAT COULD BE HIS MOTIVE.
ANY LUCK TRACKING HIM DOWN?

NO. I’VE LOOKED
INTO HIS FAMILY.
I’VE GOT NOTHING THERE.

LARRY’S TRAIL WENT
REAL DARK REAL FAST.

MOVE ON TO OTHER FRIENDS
AND CO-WORKERS.

HE COULD BE COUCH SURFING.

NICE WORK, GARCIA.
ALL OF THIS HELPS.

OH, THANK YOU, MA’AM.

RACHEL’S STILL WAITING
TO BE INTERVIEWED.

SHE COULD KNOW
WHERE THIS GUY’S GONE.

I’LL WALK WITH YOU.

THANK YOU.

WE NEED A STATEMENT
FROM RACHEL THAT SAYS

WITHOUT A DOUBT SHE BELIEVES
LARRY KILLED THEIR FRIENDS.

IT’LL BOLSTER THE EVIDENCE
WE ALREADY HAD AGAINST HIM.

THERE’S NO GUARANTEE
SHE’LL SAY THAT.

HE IS OUR BEST AND ONLY
SUSPECT FOR A REASON.

THE PIECES ADD UP.

LOOK, WE DON’T PUT WORDS
IN PEOPLE’S MOUTHS.

THAT’S NOT
HOW OUR INTERVIEWS WORK.

I’LL BE IN THERE
WITH YOU FOR SUPPORT.

I WON’T SAY A WORD
UNLESS YOU NEED HELP,
I PROMISE.

I SHOULD BE DEAD.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE,

BUT AT THE LAST MINUTE
I WENT OVER TO MY SISTER’S.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
JUST TALK TO CORRINE.

WE WILL.

BUT SHE’S ON
A FLIGHT BACK.

AND, HONESTLY, I THINK
YOU’RE THE BEST PERSON

TO HELP US FIND LARRY.

I’M SORRY. I DON’T KNOW.

I THINK YOU DO.

YOU MIGHT EVEN BE SCARED
THAT HE’D COME AFTER YOU

IF YOU TOLD US.

WE KNOW LARRY HAS
A VIOLENT STREAK.

THE BAR FIGHTS
WEREN’T HIS FAULT.

NOT ONLY THE BAR FIGHTS.

HE’S BEEN STRESSED
AT WORK.

AND AFTER HIS MOM DIED,
HE WENT OVER THE EDGE,

BUT NOW LARRY’S BEEN
GETTING HELP.

WE KNOW LARRY WAS KICKED
OUT OF THE HOUSE

TWO NIGHTS
BEFORE THE MURDERS.

NO, THAT WAS
A MISUNDERSTANDING.

I TOLD RAY TO GO
AND SMOOTH IT OUT.

THAT WAY HE COULD
MOVE BACK IN.

YOU KEEP DEFENDING
LARRY.

YOU TWO WERE DATING?

DATING IN THE HOUSE
IS AGAINST THE RULES,

SO WE HAD TO KEEP IT
A SECRET.

BUT THERE’S NO WAY
HE KILLED THEM.

WHERE IS HE, RACHEL?

HE’S STAYING
WITH A CO-WORKER.

HIS APARTMENT IS
ON PINE AND OKETO.

NO! NO! NO!

LARRY SCANLON
DIED OF A DRUG OVERDOSE.

WE WON’T KNOW FOR
SURE UNTIL WE GET
BACK HIS TOX SCREEN.

DETECTIVE, WHO FOUND HIM?

A WOMAN WALKING BY.

SHE CALLED IT IN
IMMEDIATELY.

THIS SUICIDE NOTE WAS TAPED
TO THE STEERING WHEEL.

HE CONFESSED
TO ALL 4 MURDERS.

THIS GUY’S NEVER HAD
ANY SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.

HE MUST HAVE FELT US
CLOSING IN AND PANICKED.

HERE’S THE PRELIM
TOX SCREEN.

OH. THANKS.

THERE WERE NO DRUGS
FOUND IN HIS SYSTEM.

THAT’S POOR PLANNING
ON THE PART OF THE UNSUB.

HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

LET’S GET A HANDWRITING
ANALYSIS DONE ON THAT NOTE.

THIS WAS STAGED, THEN.

YEAH, IT LOOKS
THAT WAY.

THE ANALYSIS
WILL HELP CONFIRM,

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE
LARRY WAS SET UP.

AND IT WASN’T BY
ONE OF HIS HOUSEMATES.

OK, BUT THEN BY WHO?

SOMEONE WHO STILL
KNEW THEM ALL PRETTY WELL.

THIS IS
THE RIGHT DECISION FOR ME.

I NEED YOU TO SUPPORT THAT.

WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?
I MEAN, WHERE
ARE YOU GONNA GO?

WHEN I LEFT INTERPOL,
THEY SAID THE DOOR

WAS ALWAYS OPEN TO RETURN.

I LIKE LONDON. SO...

WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANT
ME TO SUPPORT YOU,

JUST ANSWER ME
THIS ONE QUESTION.

WHY IS IT NOT OK

FOR ME TO WALK
OUT ON THE TEAM

BUT IT IS
FOR YOU?

BECAUSE YOU AND I
ARE DIFFERENT.

WE’RE NOT. AND IF THE
SITUATION WAS REVERSED,

YOU WOULDN’T GIVE UP ON
ME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

I HAPPEN TO KNOW
THAT FOR A FACT

BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T.

WHEN I WAS IN PRISON,

YOU DID EVERYTHING
IN YOUR POWER
TO GET ME OUT.

WHAT?

YEAH. I DID DO EVERYTHING.

I NEEDED TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU WERE INNOCENT

OF KILLING NADIE RAMOS.

I WAS INNOCENT.

THAT WASN’T OBVIOUS
AT FIRST.

LIKE WHEN WE TALKED
IN THAT MEXICAN JAIL.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

NO. I KNOW I WAS DRUGGED
AND EVERYTHING WAS FUZZY.

I MADE A DEAL
WITH THE LOCAL COP.

I TOLD HIM I NEEDED
TO GO AT IT ALONE.

I PROMISED I’D GIVE HIM
THE RECORDING.

I WAS TRYING TO FIND
ANY EVIDENCE
THAT YOU DIDN’T DO IT.

BUT WHAT YOU TOLD ME
WAS THAT YOU REMEMBERED

HOLDING THE MURDER WEAPON.

I DID?

THERE’S A KNIFE.

THERE’S A KNIFE AND
THERE’S A LOT OF BLOOD.

WHO HAS THE KNIFE?

THE MORE YOU TALKED,
THE MORE YOU
INCRIMINATED YOURSELF.

NO.

I LOOKED THROUGH
ALL THE CASE FILES

AFTER I WAS EXONERATED.

THERE WASN’T
A SINGLE RECORD OF...

YOU DELETED IT.

I DID.

I CROSSED A LINE
I SWORE I NEVER WOULD.

BARNES CALLED ME OUT ON IT.

AND THAT’S WHEN I REALIZED
SHE WAS RIGHT.

I DO HOLD THIS TEAM
ABOVE THE VERY LAWS

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO UPHOLD.

YOU KNOW, YOU WERE INNOCENT,

AND YOU DESERVED TO BE
REINSTATED AS AN SSA.

THAT’S WHY IT’S WRONG
FOR YOU TO QUIT.

BUT ME, I’VE LOST
THE PRIVILEGE

TO RUN THIS TEAM.

READY TO DIG INTO
THE VICTIMS’ LIVES?

I’VE NEVER BEEN SO READY.

THERE’S GOTTA BE A CLUE
IN THEIR STUFF.

"CONGRATS
ON THE PROMOTION. RAY."

"LARRY, YOU’RE NOT
ALONE. RAY."

"THINK YOU’LL
LOVE THIS. RAY."

YOU SEE THIS?

YEAH.

THEY’RE ROOMMATES, BUT
THEY’RE EXTREMELY CLOSE,

AND RAY IS CLEARLY
THE LEADER.

HEY.

THOUGHT YOU COULD USE ONE.

THANKS.

I READ YOUR REPORT ON
THE DEATH OF MR. SCRATCH.

CHOOSING TO LET HIM FALL
WAS THE BEST THING
YOU COULD HAVE DONE.

THE WORLD’S
A BETTER PLACE FOR IT.

YOU DON’T THINK
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE?

IN MY BOOK,
THAT WAS JUSTICE.

THAT KIND OF
SPLIT-SECOND CALL,

THAT’S YOUR FUGITIVE
TASKFORCE TRAINING.

THAT’S YOUR STRENGTH.

ONE OF THEM, YEAH.

THE PAST COUPLE OF
YEARS HAVE CHANGED ME,

PUSHED ME TO EXPAND
MY THINKING.

YEAH. BUT...

DON’T YOU WANT TO BE
LET OFF YOUR LEASH AGAIN?

I BELONG HERE.

THESE SEVEN HAVE
KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS,

AND THEY’RE AS CLOSE
AS ANY FAMILY.

YEAH, THEY EACH
FILL A CERTAIN ROLE.

RAY’S THE DAD,
AND IT GOES FROM THERE.

WE NEED TO START
SEEING THIS GUY
AS A FAMILY ANNIHILATOR.

WELL, MAYBE THEIR REJECTION
OF THE UNSUB IS WHAT
LED TO THE ATTACK.

BINGO.

I’LL FIND LEWIS,
AND WE’LL ASK RACHEL

IF ANYBODY MATCHES
THE PROFILE.

PERFECT. LET’S GO.

DO NOT TELL RACHEL
THAT LARRY DIED.

IT’S OUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO INFORM A PERSON

WHEN SOMETHING’S HAPPENED
TO THEIR LOVED ONE.

I HAVE THE FEELING
IF YOU TELL HER HERE,
SHE’LL FALL APART

AND SHE WON’T BE ABLE
TO HELP US.

IS THAT A DIRECT ORDER?

YES.

YOU TALKED TO LARRY?

HE’S INNOCENT, RIGHT?

WE DID FIND HIM,

AND HE IS INNOCENT.

WHERE IS HE?

IS HE HERE?
CAN I SEE HIM?

RACHEL, IT LOOKS LIKE
THERE’S BEEN A BREAK
IN THE CASE,

AND WE THINK YOU CAN
HELP US AGAIN.

WE BELIEVE WHOEVER DID THIS
IS SOMEONE YOU ALL KNOW.

THIS GUY’S A NARCISSIST.

HE THINKS HE SHOULD BE
IN CHARGE, BUT HE ISN’T,

AND THAT TICKS HIM OFF.

HE’S ALSO WHAT WE CALL
AN INJUSTICE COLLECTOR,

WHICH MEANS HE HOLDS ON
TO ANY SLIGHT,

BIG OR SMALL,
REAL OR PERCEIVED.

HE SAW YOU 7 AS A FAMILY.

HE WAS DESPERATE TO JOIN
BUT HE WAS NEVER ALLOWED.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE
ANYBODY YOU KNOW?

SORRY. NO.

RAY WOULD NEVER LET
A WEIRDO LIKE THAT
HANG AROUND.

SO, WHAT IF THE UNSUB
PLAYED IT THE OPPOSITE WAY?

HE WOULD COME ACROSS
AS HARMLESS.

UM, ALWAYS OFFER
A HELPING HAND.

HE’D EVEN DO A CHORE OR
TWO WITHOUT BEING ASKED.

HE’D FEEL COMFORTABLE
AROUND THE HOUSE

BUT NEVER OPENLY ASK
TO MOVE IN.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE JUSTIN.

WHO’S HE?

JUSTIN FRANCO.

BUT HE’S HARMLESS.

KIND OF ANNOYING
BUT A REALLY NICE GUY.

THANKS, RACHEL.

CAN I SEE LARRY NOW?

NOT YET. I’M SORRY.

HEY!

DON’T YOU EVER ORDER ME

TO DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT AGAIN.

I LOVE YOU EACH SO MUCH,
I WANT TO LICK YOUR FACES.

OH, LISTEN TO ME
SAYING MY THINGS.

ISN’T THE WORLD A BRIGHTER
PLACE WITH MORE AIR

WHEN LINDA BARNES ISN’T AROUND
BEING LINDA BARNES?

NO COMMENT.
NEXT QUESTION.

IT’S NOT A QUESTION, PER SE,

AS MUCH A CONFIRMATION
OF A FACT.

JUSTIN FRANCO IS EXACTLY
WHAT RACHEL SAYS HE IS.

HE’S ALL SUNSHINE
AND RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS,

BUT, AND IT’S A BIG "BUT,"
HE’S ONLY THAT ON THE SURFACE.

MY DEEP DIVE INTO
HIS WEB LIFE,

WHICH ACTUALLY
IS PRETTY SHALLOW

’CAUSE HE DID NOT
DO A GOOD JOB
HIDING HIS IP ADDRESS,

SHOWS THAT HE SAYS A LOT
OF INFLAMMATORY COMMENTS

ON VARIOUS SITES,
MESSAGE BOARDS,
ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

ANY TOPIC IN PARTICULAR?

OH, NO.
IT’S A SCATTERSHOT.

HE’S AN "ANY PORT
IN THE STORM" KIND OF TROLL.

HOW CHARMING.

THE ANONYMOUS POSTINGS,
THE MASKED BEHAVIOR.

HE DOESN’T WANT THE
WORLD TO SEE HIS RAGE.

WORK AND HOME ADDRESSES?

WORK IS EASY.
HE’S A MARKETING
COORDINATOR DOWNTOWN.

THERE THAT IS.

HOME IS TRICKY.
I GOT A P.O. BOX.

I’LL HIT YOU BACK
AS SOON AS I KNOW
WHERE HE’S STAYING.

IF JUSTIN’S GOING AFTER
EACH OF THESE ROOMMATES,

WE NEED TO KEEP RACHEL HERE
UNTIL THIS IS OVER.

LET’S GET A MESSAGE
TO CORRINE ON THE PLANE.

THEY CAN DEBOARD
ON THE TARMAC

AND WE CAN ESCORT
HER FROM THERE.

YEAH. THANKS, GARCIA.

I’M GOING TO RELISH
THIS TIME

WE’VE HAD ALONE
TOGETHER FOREVER.

THANK YOU.

WHAT?

THANK YOU
FOR COVERING FOR ME.

I MIGHT STILL BE IN
JAIL IF YOU HADN’T.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

I’M NOT DONE.

THANK YOU,
BUT I DIDN’T ASK YOU TO.

WHO KNOWS?
MAYBE WE COULD HAVE
BEATEN THE CHARGE.

MAYBE. NOW WE’LL NEVER KNOW.

AND THAT’S EXACTLY
MY POINT.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
IT’S PAINFUL

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK
AT YOUR LIFE

AND YOU REALIZE
HOW LITTLE CHOICE
YOU HAD IN IT. RIGHT?

SPENCE, IF THERE’S
SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY,

JUST SAY IT.

ALL I’M SAYING IS THAT
IT’S A LOT LIKE

WHEN JJ AND HOTCH
FAKED YOUR DEATH

SO THAT YOU COULD ESCAPE
FROM IAN DOYLE.

YOU DIDN’T HAVE ANY
CHOICE IN THE MATTER,

BUT IT’S WHAT
THEY HAD TO DO.

THEY FOUGHT JUST AS HARD
TO SAVE YOUR LIFE

AS YOU DID TO SAVE MINE.

IT’S WHAT WE DO.

IT’S... NOT LIKE THIS.

IT IS. YOU WANT PROOF?
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES.

MICHAEL LEE PETERSON,
CHAD HIGGINS,

KATHY
AND JESSICA EVANSON,

GLORIA BARKER,
AND DECLAN DOYLE.

THESE ARE MEN,
WOMEN, AND CHILDREN

YOU’VE SAVED AT THE BAU,

PERSONALLY.

BUT THAT’S OUR JOB.

YOURS, MINE,
THAT’S WHAT WE DO.

WE SAVE LIVES.

AND HERE ARE 7 MORE
THAT NEED IT NOW.

DAVID ROSSI,
JENNIFER JAREAU,

PENELOPE GARCIA,
LUKE ALVEZ,

MATT SIMMONS,
TARA LEWIS...

AND SPENCER REID.

STOP.

I DON’T THINK
YOU UNDERSTAND.

AFTER HOTCH LEFT,
THE TEAM COULD HAVE
IMPLODED.

IT DIDN’T BECAUSE
YOU WERE THERE.

YOU WERE THERE
TO KEEP US TOGETHER.

WE DON’T ALWAYS
HAVE A CHOICE IN
WHAT HAPPENS TO US,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
SOMETIMES WE DO.

AND RIGHT NOW...

I’M JUST ASKING YOU
TO MAKE THE CHOICE
TO STAY

AND FIGHT FOR US.

YOU KNOW,
FIGHT FOR THE TEAM.

THAT’S WHAT WE DO.
WE FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER.

OK.

MM.

LET’S CALL THE TEAM
AND GET BACK TO WORK.

I’M SUSPENDED.

WELL, I’M NOT.
IF YOU JUST
SO HAPPEN TO HEAR

WHAT I HEAR,
THEN SO BE IT.

OK, GARCIA’S FOUND JUSTIN’S
MOST RECENT HOME ADDRESS.

SHE’S SENDING IT TO US NOW.

GREAT. UM, OK, MATT,
YOU AND DAVE GO TO HIS PLACE.

I’LL GET LUKE AND WE’LL
GO TO HIS OFFICE.

TARA, WILL YOU STAY HERE IN
CASE WE NEED RACHEL AGAIN?

SURE THING.

AGENT JAREAU,
I’M COMING WITH YOU.

SOUNDS GOOD.

HEY.

HEY, JENNIFER.

DID YOU BOTH LOOK
AT THE FILE?

WE DID, YES.

I THINK
A VALIDATION STRATEGY

LOOKS LIKE THE BEST WAY
TO HANDLE JUSTIN,

ENGAGE HIM BY
BUILDING UP HIS EGO.

THAT’S EXACTLY
WHAT WE WERE THINKING.

NEVER INSULT HIM,
NEVER MENTION THE OTHERS.

IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM
AND HOW GREAT HE IS.

MATT AND DAVE
ARE HEADED TO
JUSTIN’S PLACE NOW.

LUKE, BARNES, AND I
ARE HEADING TO HIS OFFICE.

WHAT DID BARNES
THINK ABOUT YOUR THEORY?

WELL, YOU KNOW, SHE’S
ON BOARD WITH WHATEVER’S

GONNA SOLVE THE CASE
THE FASTEST.

GLAD TO HEAR
YOUR VOICE, EMILY.

EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE
NOT REALLY THERE.

IT’S GREAT TO BE HEARD,

EVEN THOUGH
I’M NOT REALLY HERE.

UH, I GOTTA GO.
TALK TO YOU LATER.

READY?

JUSTIN FRANCO, FBI!

CLEAR!

CLEAR.

DAMN IT.

YEAH, THAT ABOUT
SUMS IT UP.

HUH.

WHAT DO YOU GOT?

THESE LOOK A LOT LIKE
RAY MURPHY’S CLOTHES.

LIKE SIMILAR STYLES?

NO. I MEAN
LIKE THE WARDROBE

IS AN EXACT MATCH.

JUSTIN’S BEEN
OBSESSED WITH TRYING
TO BECOME RAY.

YEAH, BUT THAT KIND OF
THING IS USUALLY BRED
OUT OF JEALOUSY.

WHAT DOES HE HAVE
THAT JUSTIN WANTS?

LOVE OF THE FAMILY.

THEN HE WOULD HAVE
JUST KILLED RAY
AND TRIED TO REPLACE HIM.

WELL, MAYBE THERE’S A CLUE
IN WHO HE DIDN’T KILL.

WELL, RACHEL SLEPT
AT HER SISTER’S THAT NIGHT.

JUSTIN MIGHT NOT
HAVE KNOWN THAT

UNTIL HE ARRIVED
AT THE HOUSE.

HIS PLAN’S ALREADY IN
MOTION. HE’S NOT GONNA STOP.

SHE GOT LUCKY.

AND LARRY HAD JUST BEEN
KICKED OUT OF THE HOUSE.

AND JUSTIN KNOWS
THAT MAKES HIM
A PRIMARY SUSPECT.

CORRINE’S IN EUROPE
FOR WORK.

SO, UNLIKE RACHEL,
HE PROBABLY KNOWS
SHE’S NOT HOME.

THAT’S WHY HE DOES IT NOW.
THE TIMING’S PERFECT.

HE CAN FRAME LARRY
AND ENSURE CORRINE’S SAFETY.

SO THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT
PUNISHING THE FAMILY.

IT WAS ALL ABOUT KEEPING
CORRINE FOR HIMSELF.

THEY WERE HIS GREATEST
OBSTACLE TO HER.

THEY PROTECTED HER.

WITH THEM GONE,
JUSTIN’S PATH IS CLEAR.

BUT IT STILL
DOESN’T EXPLAIN

WHY HE’S ATTEMPTING
TO MIRROR RAY.

JUSTIN LOVES CORRINE, RIGHT?

WHAT IF SHE LOVES RAY?

MAYBE HE THINKS TURNING
HIMSELF INTO RAY

IS GONNA GET HER ATTENTION.

WELL, LET’S JUST CHECK
WITH GARCIA...

AND SEE IF THERE WERE
TWO SECRET RELATIONSHIPS
IN THAT HOUSE.

JUSTIN
WASN’T HOME.

HE WASN’T AT WORK EITHER.

HE CALLED IN SICK
THE LAST 3 DAYS.

UH...

IS THE TEAM
ALWAYS LIKE THIS?

WHAT DO YOU
MEAN?

EDGY, COMBATIVE.

HONESTLY?

OF COURSE.

IT’S BECAUSE OF YOU.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID
TO THE I.R.T.

WE THINK YOU’RE GONNA
DO IT AGAIN TO THE BAU.

BUT I’M NOT. I WANT
THE SAME THING THEY DO,

THE BEST POSSIBLE FBI.

THEN ENDING THIS TEAM
IS A MISTAKE.

THAT’S NOT
WHAT I’M DOING HERE.

THAT’S THE SAME THING
YOU SAID ABOUT THE I.R.T.

I RESPECT THE HELL OUT OF
YOUR PASSION FOR THE FBI.

THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS
YOU WERE TRANSFERRED
TO THE BAU.

BUT YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT THIS.

THANKS, PENELOPE.

GARCIA HASN’T BEEN ABLE
TO FIND ANYTHING

THAT PROVES RAY
AND CORRINE WERE A COUPLE,

SO EITHER THEY WERE
REALLY SMART AT HIDING IT

OR THEY WEREN’T TOGETHER
AND THE CONNECTION
IS ALL IN JUSTIN’S MIND.

REAL OR PERCEIVED,
IT’S JUSTIN’S TRIGGER.

YEAH. GARCIA WAS ALSO ABLE
TO TRACK DOWN CORRINE’S CAR

TO A LONG-TERM PARKING
GARAGE AT THE AIRPORT.

THAT’S WHERE SHE USUALLY
PARKS FOR WORK.

WELL, JUSTIN
MIGHT KNOW THAT,

AND IF HE DOES,
THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE

HE’LL BE THERE
WAITING FOR HER.

CORRINE’S FLIGHT
IS ABOUT TO LAND.
WE BETTER GET MOVING.

DETECTIVE, HAVE YOUR TEAM
CLEAR OUT THE GARAGE,

HELP SET UP A PERIMETER.

COPY THAT.

DISCRETION IS IMPORTANT.

JUSTIN HAS TO THINK
THAT HE’S IN CONTROL.

IF HE DOESN’T,
HE MAY FLIP OUT

AND WE RISK
HAVING TO SHOOT HIM.

I WANT HIM IN CUSTODY ALIVE.

JUSTIN WILL HAVE
HIS DAY IN COURT.

OK. DAVE, YOU AND MATT
MEET CORRINE ON THE TARMAC

AND BRING HER TO BARNES AND I
AT THE MOBILE COMMAND CENTER.

YEAH. SHOULD BE HOME SOON.

ALL RIGHT.
HE’S AT CORRINE’S CAR.

HE’S GOT HIS HANDS
IN HIS POCKETS.

HE’S LIKELY ARMED.
I’M GONNA POST UP
ABOUT 10 YARDS AWAY.

JJ, DO YOU HAVE EYES
ON US?

YES, WE DO.
GARCIA JUST FINISHED

HACKING INTO
THE SECURITY CAM.

DO ROSSI
AND SIMMONS HAVE CORRINE?

THEY’RE BRINGING
HER OVER NOW.

HI. CORRINE, I’M JENNIFER.

SO WE’RE GONNA KEEP YOU SAFE
IN THIS TENT RIGHT HERE.

THERE’S NO WAY JUSTIN
CAN SEE YOU, OK?

OK.

OK, WE’RE READY.

ALL RIGHT. SO ARE WE.

THE CIVILIANS HAVE
ALL CLEARED OUT.

GO ON MY COUNT, TARA.

1, 2, 3...

JUSTIN.

I’M WITH THE FBI.

YOUR PLAN AND EXECUTION
WERE PRETTY FLAWLESS.

WE’D LOVE TO KNOW HOW
YOU CAME UP WITH ALL THIS.

HEY,
LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS.

AAH. AAH!

WE JUST WANT TO
TALK, MAN. THAT’S IT.

WE JUST WANT TO TALK.

THAT’S ALL WE’RE GONNA DO,
RIGHT, JUST TALK?

ABSOLUTELY.

YOU’RE THE ONE IN CONTROL
HERE, JUSTIN.

THEN I WANT TO TALK
TO CORRINE.

BUT THE ONLY WAY
WE CAN DO THAT IS
IF YOU PUT DOWN...

I WANT CORRINE NOW!

AND IF YOU DON’T
BRING HER TO ME,

I’LL KILL MYSELF

RIGHT HERE.

GET HER.

WE CAN’T LET HIM
KILL HIMSELF.

WE HAVE TO SEND IN CORRINE.

NO. SHE’S ALREADY SAFE.
I’M NOT RISKING HER LIFE.

IT WORKED ON THAT CASE
IN CENTRAL PARK.

SHE GOT THE KILLER
TO SURRENDER
BEFORE ANYBODY DIED.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT, OK?

THIS GUY IS
A NARCISSIST.

HE WON’T KILL HIMSELF.
HE WILL ONLY
TRY TO SHOOT HER.

SO IF WE WANT
JUSTIN ALIVE,

WE HAVE TO LET TARA
AND LUKE TALK HIM DOWN.

PUT THE GUN DOWN.

I WANT TO SEE CORRINE!

YOU PUT DOWN THE GUN
AND WALK US THROUGH
YOUR PLAN,

EVERY STEP.

ONLY YOU CAN
TELL US EVERYTHING WE
NEED TO KNOW, JUSTIN.

WHAT THE HELL?

JUSTIN!

I BROUGHT CORRINE
LIKE YOU WANTED.

WHAT IS SHE DOING?

WE GOTTA GET CORRINE.

CORRINE.

WITH EVERYBODY GONE,
WE COULD HAVE FINALLY
BEEN TOGETHER.

BUT YOU HAD TO CALL
THE COPS.

JUSTIN.

I DID THIS FOR US

AND YOU SPIT IN MY FACE!

THE VEST CAUGHT THE BULLET.

OK, SO THAT’S GONNA LEAVE
A NICE LITTLE BRUISE FOR YOU,

BUT I THINK
YOU’RE GONNA BE OK.

YOU THINK YOU CAN GET UP?

I THINK SO.

OK, MATT HERE WILL HELP YOU.

WE GOT A MEDIC WAITING.

OK.

YOU WENT AROUND US?

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

THOSE SECURITY CAMERAS
CAUGHT EVERYTHING.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW IT’LL LOOK
WHEN THIS GOES VIRAL?

I HAD A PLAN.
NOBODY WAS GOING TO DIE.

IF YOU FOLLOWED
OUR VALIDATION STRATEGY...

IT WASN’T WORKING.
IT WAS MOVING TOO SLOW.

IT TAKES TIME TO UNFOLD.

NO! NO, THIS IS ON YOU.

JUSTIN’S BLOOD
IS ON ALL OF YOU.

I WILL MAKE SURE
THAT MY REPORT SAYS SO.

THEN LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT MY REPORT WILL SAY.

THAT WE AGREED ON A THEORY
TO ENGAGE JUSTIN

BASED ON OUR PROFILE,
WHICH WAS WORKING

UNTIL YOU WENT ROGUE.

AND IN DOING SO,
YOU RISKED THE LIFE

OF A WOMAN
WE HAD ALREADY SAVED

AND FORCED US TO KILL
OUR PRIME SUSPECT.

WHY DON’T WE SHOW
THE VIDEO TO THE DIRECTOR

AND LET HIM DECIDE?

I THINK THAT’S
A GREAT IDEA.

YOU JUST TELL ME
WHEN TO BE THERE.

I TRIED MY BEST HERE.

YOU COULDN’T JUST
LET ME HELP.

WE’VE KNOWN
FROM THE MOMENT YOU
STARTED WITH PRENTISS

THAT YOU’VE WANTED
TO SHUT DOWN THE BAU,

THE SAME WAY
YOU SHUT DOWN THE I.R.T.

SO YOU KNOW WHAT?
KEEP TAKING YOUR BEST SHOT.

AND MAYBE YOU WILL GET US.

BUT WE’RE DAMN SURE
GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN, TOO.

I THINK YOU JUST EARNED
YOUR STRIPES, CHIEF.

WHERE DO THESE GO?

UH, ON THE SHELF OVER THERE.

DID I EVER TOLD YOU
ABOUT THAT GUY IN
CALIFORNIA WHO ONLY HAS...

78 THINGS. YEAH.
4 TIMES ALREADY.

WELL, IT JUST
SO HAPPENS THAT I
JUST READ AN ARTICLE

THAT SAYS HE’S DOWN
TO 75. YOU WANT
TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?

OH...

SAVED BY THE BELL.

OK. WHO’S UP FOR DRINKS
AT O’KEEFE’S?

I’M IN.

OH, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

YEAH, IT SOUNDS
GREAT TO ME, TOO.

THE KIDS ARE ASLEEP.
WIFE COULD USE
A SECOND ALONE. I’M IN.

DID SOMEONE SAY O’KEEFE’S?

WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN?
YOU’RE 20 MINUTES LATE.

OUR FLIGHT GOT DELAYED.

UH, OK. COOL, GUYS.

THE RADAR DID NOT
REPORT ANY WEATHER.

YEAH, IT WASN’T WEATHER.

UNLESS YOU COUNT
HURRICANE JAREAU.

OHH! OH,
I’M NOT UP TO SPEED.

I HATE IT WHEN I’M
NOT UP TO SPEED.

JJ RIPPED INTO BARNES
BEFORE WE TOOK OFF.

MAMA BEAR HAS GOT BITE.

SHE’S LUCKY I DIDN’T
THROW HER OFF THE JET.

WHERE’S THE OLD BATTLE AX NOW?

PROBABLY UPSTAIRS
LICKING HER WOUNDS.

LINDA BARNES IS A FIGHTER.

SHE’S NOT FINISHED
BY A LONG SHOT.

WELL, LET’S JUST SAY
I’M GLAD WE WON THIS ROUND.

MM, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU.

OHH! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!

YOU FEELING
BETTER, KID?

MUCH BETTER.
THANK YOU.

WAIT. YOU’RE SUSPENDED.

HOW DID YOU GET...
DID YOU SNEAK IN?

DID YOU DO A SECRET
NINJA-TYPE MOVE?

TELL ME.
I HAVE TO KNOW.

I, UM,
I HAVE ONE OF THESE.

I’M REID’S VISITOR.

OH, WELL, WELCOME
TO THE BAU, VISITOR.

IT’S A GREAT PLACE
YOU’VE GOT HERE.

DID I HEAR SOMETHING
ABOUT DRINKS?

YES. AND I AM BUYING
THE FIRST ROUND.

YOU HEARD THE MA...

AGENT PRENTISS, AGENT
REID, I’M HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

AGENT JAREAU, I DIDN’T GET
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU

HOW MUCH I ENJOYED
YOUR SPEECH ON THE JET.

BUT YOU’RE WRONG THAT I’M
HERE TO SHUT DOWN THE BAU,

BECAUSE I’M NOT.

THIS UNIT IS THE CROWN JEWEL
OF BEHAVIORAL PROFILING.

I COULDN’T SHUT IT DOWN
IF I WANTED TO.

BUT I CAN HELP RESTRUCTURE IT.

THE DIRECTOR WATCHED
THE AIRPORT VIDEO,

AND HE FELT, AS I DID,
THAT WE WERE IN PUBLIC

AND YOUR VALIDATION
STRATEGY WAS FAILING.

YOU ALREADY MET WITH HIM?

YES. I’VE KNOWN HIM
A LONG TIME.

HE ANSWERS MY CALLS.

I HAVEN’T EVEN HAD A CHANCE
TO FILE MY REPORT.

HE AGREED THAT EVENTS
SHOULD HAVE UNFOLDED QUICKER,

AND BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T,
THE SUSPECT DIED.

NOW WE NEED TO ENSURE
THAT MISTAKES,

LIKES THE ONES
YOU MADE TODAY,
NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

MISTAKES WE MADE?

THAT SAID, AGENT PRENTISS,

YOUR SUSPENSION IS LIFTED.

YOU’LL BE REASSIGNED
WITHIN THE BUREAU.

YOUR NEW POST HAS YET
TO BE DETERMINED.

WHAT?

AGENT LEWIS, YOU WILL
ALSO BE REASSIGNED.

AGENT REID, YOU WILL BE
A FULL-TIME PROFESSOR

WITH OUR EXCHANGE
PROGRAM.

AGENT ROSSI, THE FBI
DEEPLY APPRECIATES
YOUR SERVICE,

AND THE DIRECTOR
WISHES YOU NOTHING
BUT THE BEST

IN YOUR RETIREMENT.

AGENT SIMMONS,
AGENT ALVEZ,

YOU WILL REMAIN HERE
AT THE BAU.

GARCIA, YOUR LOYALTY TO
THE TEAM IS APPRECIATED,

BUT IT FEELS LIKE
A FRESH START

IN A DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENT WOULD BE BEST.

FRESH START?
I DON’T WANT A FRESH START.

I NEED... I NEED TO BE HERE.

I’M FIRED, AREN’T I?

NO.

YOU’RE THE CONDITIONAL
UNIT CHIEF OF THE BAU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THERE’S NO SUCH THING.

YOU’RE RIGHT.
THERE WASN’T.

BUT I WAS ABLE WITH
THE DIRECTOR’S APPROVAL

TO CREATE A NEW POSITION
JUST FOR YOU.

I WON’T BE GOING INTO
THE FIELD WITH YOU ANYMORE,

BUT YOU WILL RUN EVERY
DECISION PAST ME,
BIG AND SMALL,

BEFORE YOU ACT.

GOOD NIGHT.

THIS CAN’T BE THE END.

CAN IT?
