Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 13, Episode 16 - Last Gasp - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY
ON "CRIMINAL MINDS"...

MY INVESTIGATION
HAS REVEALED

A PATTERN OF NEGLIGENCE
WITHIN THE BAU.

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.

AGENT PRENTISS, YOU’LL BE
REASSIGNED WITHIN THE BUREAU.

YOUR NEW POST HAS YET
TO BE DETERMINED.

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, IT FEELS LIKE
A FRESH START

IN A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT
WOULD BE BEST.

I’M FIRED, AREN’T I?

YOU’RE THE CONDITIONAL
UNIT CHIEF OF THE BAU.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THIS CAN’T BE THE END.

CAN IT?

YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING
YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET.

FBI!

FBI?

YOUR CLIENT IS AGENT
DOUGLAS RUDY.



ISN’T THAT RIGHT, DOUGIE BOY?

UH, HEY, YOU GOT THE KEY
TO THESE THINGS SOMEWHERE?

YOU SET ME UP?

NO, I SWEAR!

NO, HE DIDN’T
SET YOU UP, SWEETHEART.

WE’RE OPR.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

THE FBI VERSION
OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

NOW, WE GOT WIND
THAT DOUG HERE

HAD AN AFFINITY
FOR HOOKERS...

NO OFFENSE.

YOU’RE BOTH UNDER ARREST.

PUT YOUR PANTS ON,
AGENT RUDY.

COME ON. I CAN’T
HELP IT WHAT TURNS ME ON,

AND MY WIFE, SHE ISN’T
INTO THIS KIND OF THING.

WELL, SOMEHOW
I DON’T THINK

YOUR WIFE’S GONNA
HAVE ANY TROUBLE

WANTING TO BEAT
THE CRAP OUT OF
YOU AFTER TODAY.

HA! THERE YOU GO.

SEE, LOOK AT THAT.
WE CUFF YOU UP
FOR FREE.

LET’S GO.

COME ON.

I SHOULD’VE
TOOK SOME PICTURES

FOR THE GUYS
BACK AT THE OFFICE.

YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO
KICK IT IN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I THINK THAT’S
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE

FOR A MAN MY AGE,
DON’T YOU THINK?

OHH...

THE MANAGER
GAVE US THE KEY.

SO NOW WE’RE GONNA HAVE
TO REIMBURSE THE MOTEL

FOR THAT DAMAGE.

RELAX, PRENTISS.
FOR A ROGUE AGENT,

YOU’RE PRETTY UPTIGHT.

WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?

MIGHT HAVE BEEN
A LITTLE SOMETHING I SAW

WHEN I TOOK A LOOK
IN YOUR FILE.

YOU WHAT?!

YOU MUST HAVE REALLY
PISSED OFF A.D. BARNES.

TO GET BUSTED
FROM BAU CHIEF

ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO RANK-AND-FILE OPR.

REST OF YOUR TEAM
GET THE SHAFT, TOO?

HEY. IS NED HERE YET?

OH,
YOU MEAN LAZY NED,
THE ANTI-PENELOPE?

HE USUALLY ROLLS IN
AROUND 11:00.

YOU WANT TO WAIT
FOR HIM?

NO. BARNES IS GIVING US
A HALF AN HOUR,

AND WE’RE GONNA NEED
EVERY MINUTE OF IT

TO TRY AND SELL HER
ON ONE OF THESE CASES.

SO...

IT’S BEEN TWO WEEKS
SINCE SHE TOOK OVER.

SHE CAN’T KEEP US
ON THE BENCH MUCH LONGER.

LET’S HOPE NOT.

TWO MALE UNSUBS
HAVE ROBBED 4 BANKS.

IN ADDITION TO GETTING AWAY WITH
NEARLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS,

THEY HAVE LEFT TWO
BANK EMPLOYEES DEAD. WE...

I DON’T KNOW. BANK ROBBERS
KILLING BANKERS?

LET’S LOOK AT THIS
FROM THE POV
OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE.

WHO’S THE EMOTIONAL VICTIM?

HONESTLY, HALF OF THE COUNTRY

IS GOING TO BE ROOTING
FOR THE UNSUBS.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?

WE THINK THERE’S
AN ANGEL OF DEATH

WORKING IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.

THE UNSUB IS TARGETING
ELDERLY IMMIGRANTS
THAT LIVE IN NURSING HOMES.

IMMIGRANTS.

THAT’S DIVISIVE.

WE NEED CASES
THAT UNITE THE PUBLIC.

I CAN ALREADY HEAR PEOPLE
ASKING WHY THEY SHOULD CARE

ABOUT A DEAD MEXICAN GRANDMA.

ANYONE WITH ELDERLY
LOVED ONES SHOULD CARE.

THE BAU IS AN ELITE UNIT.

YOUR CASES SHOULD PLAY
THAT WAY IN THE MEDIA.

26.

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

THAT IS THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED

SINCE YOU’VE SIDELINED
THE BAU.

PEOPLE DIE WHEN WE
DON’T DO OUR JOB. YOU...

YOU NEED TO LET US
DO OUR JOB.

YOUR JOB IS TO MAKE
THE FBI LOOK GOOD

FOR THE PUBLIC.

IF YOU WOULD BRING ME
AN APPROPRIATE CASE,

I WOULD GREENLIGHT
THE INVESTIGATION.

OK.

HUH!

NED, WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO DO A DEEP DIVE
ON VICTIMOLOGY.

I DID. I MADE A VICTIM LIST
FOR EACH SEPARATE CASE

WITH NAMES, DOBs,
LAST KNOWN ADDRESSES,

EMPLOYMENT, TOO.

THAT’S YOUR IDEA
OF A DEEP DIVE?

YOU WANTED MORE?

I... YEAH, I WANTED MORE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
MAYBE, UH,

I CAN SUPERVISE
YOUR DEEP DIVES

JUST UNTIL YOU
GET INTO A GROOVE.

AWESOME.

YOU KNOW, I COULD
JUST GIVE YOU GUYS

ALL MY PASSWORDS
FOR THE DATABASES.

THAT WAY YOU CAN
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH

AND CUSTOMIZE IT
TO WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR.

WE’LL THINK ABOUT THAT.

JUST GIVE US A MINUTE
HERE, NED.

OHH...

OHH...

OK. YOU KNOW,
I SHOULDN’T HAVE
SNAPPED AT HIM, REALLY.

IT’S NOT HIS FAULT
HE’S NOT GARCIA.

NO. THE LAZY PART,
THAT’S PRETTY MUCH
ALL ON HIM.

YOU THINK GARCIA KNOWS
HOW MUCH WE MISS HER?

I HOPE SO.

WONDER HOW SHE’S DOING
OVER AT CYBER CRIMES.

WELL, YOU GUYS,
IT’S HAPPENING.

I AM MOVING IN FINALLY.

I KNOW.
IT HAS TAKEN ME A WHILE,

BUT I’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
ALL 5 STAGES OF GRIEF.

SOMETIMES I’M STILL THERE,
YOU KNOW? I’M PINBALLING.

BARGAINING AGAIN AND THEN
DENIAL AND ANGER AND...

YEAH, YOU’RE RIGHT.
IT’S NOT LINEAR.

YOU GUYS GET ME.

YOU GET ME.

EXCUSE ME?

I THINK THE BOSS
WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

THANK YOU.

SETTLING IN OK?
EVERYTHING GOOD?

OH. WELL,
IN FULL TRANSPARENCY,

I... I GUESS GOOD IS
A GROSS OVERSTATEMENT,

BUT I THINK GOOD
IS A GOAL,

AND WITH A LITTLE TIME
AND A LOT OF HARD WORK,

I THINK I CAN UP LEVEL TO...

I’M WORKING REALLY HARD.

LOOK, I GOT MYSELF
A WHOLE NEW WARDROBE.

THIS IS SO NOT ME.

YOU GOTTA GET RID
OF ALL THAT JUNK
ON YOUR DESK.

WHAT?

OH, NO, THAT’S NOT JUNK.

3 PERSONAL ITEMS.

YOU HAVE A POLICY
ABOUT HOW MANY ITEMS

WE CAN HAVE ON OUR DESK?

WE DO. AND IT APPLIES
TO EVERYONE,

INCLUDING TRANSFERS
FROM THE BAU.

PICK 3, THEN
GET BACK TO WORK.

I JUST SENT YOU
A NEW CASE.

THE DEFENDANT,
ADAM JEFFRIES,

WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED
WITH 53 COUNTS

OF IDENTITY THEFT.

ALL OF HIS HARD DRIVES
WERE SEIZED.

I WANT YOU
TO GO THROUGH THEM

AND PULL ANY EVIDENCE
THAT MAY SUPPORT

THE IDENTITY THEFT CHARGES.

OK.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION?

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CASE
THAT I CLOSED YESTERDAY?

THE SUSPECTS YOU IDENTIFIED
ARE ALL RUSSIAN NATIONALS

LIVING IN RUSSIA.
THE UNITED STATES

DOESN’T HAVE AN EXTRADITION
TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

SO THEY JUST
GET AWAY WITH IT?

NO. YOU SHUT DOWN
THEIR OPERATION.

THEY COULD JUST
START ANOTHER ONE.

THAT’S WHY WE
HAVE TO BE VIGILANT.

WAIT, SO THIS WHOLE PLACE
IS LIKE A GIANT GAME
OF WHACK-A-MOLE...

THE GAME WHERE THEY HAVE
THE MOLE, BUT IT’S
A CASE, NOT A MOLE?

IS THAT...

GET BACK TO WORK.

SORRY ABOUT YOUR STUFF.

THANK YOU.

I LIKE YOUR UNICORN.

OH. HEH.
SHE IS PRETTY GREAT, HUH?

THAT’S WEIRD.

OH, THIS IS REALLY BAD.

BEAUTIFUL.

NOW, LIFT YOUR CHIN
A LITTLE.

"DEATH IS
THE MOTHER OF BEAUTY,

"HENCE FROM HER, ALONE,

"SHALL COME FULFILLMENT
OF OUR DREAMS

AND OUR DESIRES."

WALLACE STEVENS.

IT GETS OLD,
YOU KNOW?

’CAUSE SHE NEVER TAKES ME
OR MY THEORIES SERIOUSLY.

YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT HIS
SO-CALLED THEORIES

ARE WAY
OUTSIDE THE BOX.

FOR INSTANCE?

HE BELIEVES
IN THE PARANORMAL.

AND YET SHE’S RELIGIOUS, OK?

WHAT DEMANDS MORE BLIND
FAITH THAN GOD?

MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE
NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

THAT MUST MAKE IT
DIFFICULT

FOR BOTH OF YOU
TO DO YOUR JOBS.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

OK. UH, HAVE EITHER
OF YOU CONSIDERED

PUTTING IN A REQUEST
FOR A NEW PARTNER,

BECAUSE I FEEL...

I DON’T WANT
A NEW PARTNER.

HE’S MY BEST FRIEND.

WHO KNEW
THERE WERE SO MANY

DYSFUNCTIONAL PARTNERS
IN THE BUREAU?

I’M LEARNING THE HARD WAY.

I HAD 3 STAKEOUTS
WITH ODENKIRK LAST WEEK.

I KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU LOVE THOSE.

AND IT’S ONE THING TO BE
OUT IN THE FIELD WITH HIM,

BUT SITTING WITH HIM
IN A CAR FOR HOURS ON END.

HE SMELLS, LIKE DIRTY
TIGHTIE WHITIES

DIPPED IN SWEAT.

AGHH!

BARNES REALLY KNEW
HOW TO PUNISH YOU.

I MEAN, STICKING YOU
WITH HIM.

A NOT-SO-SUBTLE REFERENCE

TO WHAT HAPPENS TO
AGENTS WHO TRANSGRESS.

AND THERE IS NO DIRT ON
BARNES IN THE OPR DATABASE.

SHE IS SQUEAKY CLEAN.

YOU PULLED HER FILE?

I THOUGHT MAYBE
WE’D GET LUCKY.

SO WHAT NOW?

I DON’T KNOW
WHAT OUR NEXT MOVE IS.

WELL, WE HAVE GOT
TO THINK OF SOMETHING.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH
MORE OF THIS ASSIGNMENT
I CAN TAKE.

UHH...

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

I FOUND THESE
IN A DROP BOX FILE

ON A HARD DRIVE BELONGING
TO ADAM JEFFRIES.

WHAT DO THESE HAVE
TO DO WITH OUR CASE?

NOTHING.

THEN WHY AM I
LOOKING AT THEM?

YOU SEE THAT THOSE 3 PHOTOS
ARE OF THE SAME WOMAN, YES?

YEAH.

OK. WELL, THE DIGITAL
FILES HAD TIME STAMPS.

THOSE 3 PHOTOS
WERE TAKEN LAST WEEK

WITHIN A 72-HOUR PERIOD.

AND THIS PHOTO
OF A DIFFERENT WOMAN...

THAT WAS TAKEN
TWO DAYS AGO.

AND?

DON’T YOU SEE?

LOOK.

UH... SORRY.

HE TAKES A CANDID PHOTO
OF A WOMAN

OUT IN THE WORLD...

HAPPY, HEALTHY,
UNSUSPECTING.

HE THEN ABDUCTS HER,
HE PUTS HER INTO CAPTIVITY

FOR 3 DAYS,
DURING WHICH TIME

HE TAKES ANOTHER PICTURE
OF HER IN CAPTIVITY,

THEN HE KILLS HER
AND TAKES A THIRD PICTURE

WHEN SHE’S... DEAD.

SO, THEN, YOU KNOW WHAT
THIS PHOTO MEANS, YES?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT MEANS?

I THINK IT MEANS THAT SHE’S
OUR UNSUB’S NEXT VICTIM.

AND YOU BELIEVE
THESE ARE REAL?

YOU DON’T?

THE VIOLENCE LOOKS
PHOTO-SHOPPED.

AND THE WOMEN,
THEY AREN’T UNDERAGE.

SO WHAT YOU FOUND
ON THAT HARD DRIVE
IS NOT A CYBER CRIME.

WE CAN’T IGNORE THIS.

LOOK, IF YOU FEEL
STRONGLY ABOUT IT,

MAYBE YOU CAN REFER IT
TO ANOTHER UNIT.

MAYBE IT’S THE KIND OF THING
THE BAU IS HANDLING THESE DAYS.

NO.

WHY?

THESE PHOTOS ARE FAKE.

LOOK AT THE ONE
WITH THE COFFIN.

THE BACKGROUND’S
SOME KIND OF PAINTING.

IT’S PROFESSIONALLY LIT.

THIS WOMEN AREN’T MISSING.

THEY’RE MAKING A LIVING
POSING FOR CREEPY
FETISH PHOTOS.

WELL, I THINK THAT’S WHAT
IT’S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.

IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK,
QUACKS LIKE A DUCK...

OK.

THAT VEIN IN HER NECK,
IT’S PURPLE.

THAT’S DEOXYGENATED BLOOD.

THAT SLIGHT DISCOLORATION
IN HER EARLOBE,

THAT’S LIVIDITY.

BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT SELLS.

OK, YOU KNOW, WE CAN
GO BACK AND FORTH

ON THIS DEATH PHOTO ALL DAY,
BUT NOT THIS ONE.

YOU SEE THAT LOOK
IN HER EYE? THAT’S TRAUMA.

AND I HAVE SEEN IT
OFTEN ENOUGH

TO KNOW WHEN IT’S FAKE
AND WHEN IT’S AUTHENTIC.

THAT IS REAL.

I DISAGREE.

WELL, IF YOU ARE WRONG,

THIS WOMAN,
SHE’D BE NUMBER 27.

IF SHE DIES, HER BLOOD
IS ON YOUR HANDS.

I’M COMFORTABLE
WITH THAT RISK.

CALL ROSSI. I’LL CALL REID.

ON IT.

OK, LET’S
TAKE A MOMENT NOW

TO DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A TRIGGER
AND A STRESSOR.

A TRIGGER IS A SENSORY EVENT
EXPERIENCED BY AN OFFENDER

THAT PRECIPITATES
SUBSEQUENT BEHAVIOR,

WHEREAS A STRESSOR
IS A LONGER-TERM

PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR
OR CIRCUMSTANCES

WHICH PUSH A PERSON INTO
BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY

THAN THEY NORMALLY WOULD.

YOU’RE PROBABLY GONNA
WANT TO WRITE THIS DOWN.

I SHOULDN’T BE TELLING
YOU GUYS THIS,

BUT I’M DEFINITELY
PUTTING THIS ON THE FINAL.

I’M ONLY AUDITING
THIS CLASS.

IS ANYONE ELSE
AUDITING THIS CLASS?

OK.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THAT IS ALL THE TIME
WE HAVE FOR TODAY.

THANK YOU, GUYS.

LUKE, HEY, WHAT’S UP?

FREEZE, SCUMBAG!

AND CUT!

THAT WAS TERRIFIC.

PULL NEXT ONE!

UM...

HEY, YOU WANT TO
GO TALK TO HIM?

UH, HEY, KID. UH...

HOW’S IT GOING?
ALL GOOD.

YEAH. LOOK,
I THOUGHT I’D GIVE YOU

A FEW POINTERS ON HOW
TO HOLD YOUR FIREARM.

MAY I... MAY I?

UM, SEE, A HOLD LIKE THIS

GIVES US MAXIMUM CONTROL,
WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT.

WHEN YOU CANT IT THIS WAY,

YOU’RE MORE LIKELY TO HIT
AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER.

GOT IT. MAN, LOVE WHEN
THE WRITER’S ON SET.

THANKS.

OH, AND ONE...
ONE MORE THING.

WHEN YOU DRAW DOWN
ON A SUSPECT,

THE LINE IS,
"FBI. PUT YOUR HANDS UP,"

NOT, UH, "FREEZE, SCUMBAG."

YEAH. I JUST DIDN’T THINK
MY CHARACTER WOULD SAY

THE "FBI, HANDS UP" THING.

BUT HE DOES SAY THAT.

IT’S, UH,
IT’S... IT’S RIGHT THERE.

NO, IT JUST DIDN’T
FEEL ORGANIC.

YOU KNOW?

ORGANIC.

ROSSI.

OH, YES. PLEASE,
COUNT ME IN.

CARRY ON.

THANK YOU,
ALL OF YOU, FOR COMING.

I’VE MISSED THIS, US.

BEFORE WE DO THIS,
I NEED TO BE SURE

EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS
WHAT WE’RE GETTING INTO.

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD
NOT TO INVESTIGATE THIS CASE.

IF WE DO, WE ARE
VIOLATING DIRECT ORDERS,

AND EVENTUALLY
BARNES WILL FIND OUT.

SO, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

OR WE DON’T CATCH
THIS UNSUB,

SHE WILL SHUT DOWN THE BAU AND
MOST LIKELY FIRE ALL OF US.

NO MORE REASSIGNMENTS.

YOU KNOW WHAT? EVEN IF
EVERYTHING DOES GO RIGHT

AND WE DO CATCH OUR UNSUB,

I MEAN, THE SAME THING
COULD HAPPEN.

RIGHT. BARNES WOULD TRY
TO SPIN IT, LABEL THE BAU

A ROGUE UNIT THAT
NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN.

RIGHT.

SO IF ANYONE HAS DOUBTS,

NO SHAME, NO JUDGMENT.

THE BAU STARTED IN A ROOM
JUST LIKE THIS ONE.

IF THIS IS HOW
IT GOES OUT, SO BE IT.

WE’RE ALL IN?

OK. LET’S TALK VICTIMOLOGY.

♪ WAKE UP, DARLING ♪

THIS IS THE FUN PART.

LET’S TAKE SOME PICTURES.

NO!

SINCE WE DON’T HAVE ANY LEADS
ON OUR VICTIMS’ IDENTITIES,

GARCIA’S BEEN DRILLING
DOWN ON THE E-MAILS

THAT CONTAIN
THE PHOTO ATTACHMENTS.

RIGHT, SO, THIS IS
THE DARKNET, SO
THEY’RE ENCRYPTED,

BUT THE DIGITAL FILES
HAD TIME STAMPS.

I WAS ABLE TO
NARROW DOWN
THEIR POINT OF ORIGIN

TO THE GREATER
D.C. AREA.

SO WE’RE GONNA HAVE
TO FOCUS OUR PROFILING

ON THE PHOTOS.

THE FIRST 3
ARE OF THE SAME WOMAN.

THEY APPEAR TO BE
A COMPLETE 3-PART SERIES,

DEPICTING HER
IN 3 DIFFERENT STATES...

BEFORE, IN CAPTIVITY,
AND POSTMORTEM.

THE BEFORE PICTURE
IS A CANDID PHOTO,

WHICH SUGGESTS THE
WOMEN WERE COMFORTABLE
WITH THE UNSUB.

WE HAVE ONLY ONE
CAPTIVITY PHOTO.

IT WAS TAKEN
OVER 48 HOURS LATER.

BUT IT’S IN A
DIFFERENT LOCATION.

IT’S A DARKER,
ENCLOSED SPACE.

THE VICTIM IS DISHEVELED
AND APPEARS DISORIENTED

AND TRAUMATIZED.

NOW SHE’S ONLY WEARING
THIS WHITE SATIN
NEGLIGEE.

THE THIRD PHOTO’S POSED
AND APPEARS TO BE POSTMORTEM.

IN THIS CASE, THE FATAL WOUND,
A SINGLE BULLET TO THE CHEST,

IS CLEARLY FEATURED.
IT’S ALSO BEEN
CLEANED UP A LITTLE BIT.

THERE’S NO EXTRANEOUS BLOOD,
AND IT’S ALMOST PRETTY.

SO HE’S DISPLAYING HIS WORK FOR
THOSE WHO WILL APPRECIATE IT,

THE PEOPLE OUR DROP BOX OWNER
ADAM JEFFRIES WERE SELLING TO.

OK, AND THEN THERE’S
THE FOURTH PHOTO,

IT’S OF A DIFFERENT WOMAN.

IT’S THE FIRST
IN A NEW SERIES,

THE NEW VICTIM.

THE FOURTH PHOTO
APPEARS TO BE TAKEN
72 HOURS AGO.

IF THE UNSUB’S
PATTERN HOLDS,

IT MEANS
SHE’S ABOUT TO DIE.

JJ, LUKE, TARA,
DIG INTO THE BEFORE PHOTOS.

GARCIA ALREADY RAN THEM
THROUGH THE BUREAU’S
HOTEL DATABASE.

BASED ON BACKGROUND DETAILS,
IT’S EXTREMELY LIKELY

THAT THEY WERE TAKEN AT
A HIGH-END HOTEL IN THE AREA.

WE’LL MAP THEM OUT
AND START CANVASSING

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

GOOD. DAVE, MATT,
HEAD OUT TO THE PRISON

AND SEE WHAT ADAM JEFFRIES
CAN TELL YOU

ABOUT HOW THESE ENDED UP
ON HIS DROP BOX.

THERE’S LOTS OF PEOPLE
THAT GET OFF ON EROTICA

INVOLVING DEAD GIRLS.

IT WAS A SIDE BUSINESS, REALLY.

BUT THESE WERE HIGH QUALITY.

OH, YEAH, REAL CLASSY.

WHERE’D YOU GET
THE PHOTOS?

THE ADDRESS WAS ENCRYPTED.

HOW’D YOU
HOOK UP WITH HIM?

HE FOUND ME.
AND I DON’T ASK QUESTIONS.

HOW DID YOU PAY
FOR THEM?

THAT WAS THE BEST PART.

HE DIDN’T WANT MONEY.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

HE’S JUST A DUDE
THAT THINKS PEOPLE

SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO GET OFF

TO WHATEVER TURNS THEM ON,

EVEN IF IT’S TABOO.

LIKE AN ACTIVIST.

REAL MAN
OF THE PEOPLE.

YEAH.

SO HOW DID IT WORK?

WELL, HE SENT ME A BUNCH
OF PHOTOS OF ONE GIRL,

WAY TOO MANY.

BUT WHAT SELLS IS 3 PICTURES.

BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER.

WHAT ABOUT THE PICTURES
YOU DIDN’T USE?

YOU STILL HAVE THEM?

I DON’T KNOW.

MAYBE.

WELL, WE’RE GONNA
NEED TO SEE THEM.

YEAH?
YEAH.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

WELL, WHAT’S
IN IT FOR YOU IS THAT
WE DON’T CHARGE YOU

AS AN ACCESSORY
AFTER THE FACT TO MURDER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WELL, THESE PHOTOS
ARE REAL.

THIS WOMAN IS DEAD.

WHOA, WHOA... WHOA. HEY!

I HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THAT.

WELL, THAT’S GOOD.

THEN IT WOULD SEEM
COOPERATING WITH US

IS IN YOUR
BEST INTERESTS.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE
A KID FROM THE BRONX

IN PLACES LIKE THIS.

YEAH. THERE WEREN’T
MANY 5-STAR HOTELS

IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA.

I’VE BEEN IN MORE
OF THEM TODAY

THAN I HAVE THE WHOLE
REST OF MY LIFE.

CHECK THIS OUT.

JJ, THAT’S A MATCH.

IT’S THE SAME PAINTING.

UH, LET’S SEE IF SOMEONE
CAN I.D. OUR VICTIMS.

EXCUSE ME. HI.

I WAS HOPING YOU COULD
HELP US WITH SOMETHING.

OH. I’LL CERTAINLY
DO MY BEST.

WE HAVE REASON
TO BELIEVE

THESE PHOTOS
WERE TAKEN HERE.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE EITHER
OF THESE YOUNG WOMEN?

I’M VERY SORRY,
BUT I CAN’T COMMENT
ON OUR GUESTS.

WE TAKE THEIR PRIVACY
VERY SERIOUSLY.

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT,

BUT, UH... I BELIEVE THIS
TRUMPS PRIVACY.

INDEED IT DOES, SIR.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I DO RECOGNIZE
THESE YOUNG LADIES.

THEY ARE BOTH FREQUENT
VISITORS TO THE HOTEL

AND THEY ARE BOTH
ALWAYS HERE,

WITH A DIFFERENT
MALE COMPANION,

WHO PAYS CASH.

DO YOU EVER RECOGNIZE

ANY OF THE MALE COMPANIONS?

NOT BY NAME,
BUT I KNOW THE TYPE.

MONEY, POWER, STATUS.

YOU, UH, YOU DON’T
HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS?

NO. WE TAKE OUR GUESTS’
PRIVACY VERY SERIOUSLY.

MANY OF OUR FREQUENT
PATRONS HAVE VERY
PUBLIC PROFILES.

POLITICIANS.
AND I’M GUESSING

THEY’RE NOT COMING HERE
WITH THEIR SPOUSES.

WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU SAW EITHER
OF THESE WOMEN?

MUST BE ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

IT’S DARK. A GARAGE, MAYBE?

BUT THE GROUND
DOESN’T LOOK LIKE
POURED CONCRETE.

COULD BE A BASEMENT
IN AN OLD BUILDING.

WHAT IS SHE SITTING NEXT TO?
IS IT A CRATE?

OR A WINE RACK.

IT’S NOT JUST A BASEMENT.
I THINK IT’S A WINE CELLAR.

THERE ARE A LOT OF
BIG OLD HOMES LIKE THIS

IN AREAS LIKE CLARENDON,
KALORAMA, POTOMAC MANORS.

I GREW UP IN A HOUSE
LIKE THIS.

WELL,
IF THAT’S THE CASE,
THE UNSUB COULD BE

A PERSON OF RESOURCES...
MONEY, MAYBE EVEN PRESTIGE.

SO BEAUTIFUL.

GEORGE, SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.

THANK YOU
FOR THE INVITE.

ELLEN, YOU LOOK AMAZING.

WHY, THANK YOU!

AH. LOOKS LIKE YOU FOUND
SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU BUSY

WHILE I WAS MINGLING.

I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

IT TOOK YOU FOREVER.

TRUST ME,
IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.

FOUND THE BOTTLE
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.

SPECIAL RESERVE
CHATEAU ANJOU.

YOU’RE GONNA LOVE IT.

YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE, KEV.

FINE WINE IS WASTED
ON ME. YOU KNOW THAT.

DON’T BE SILLY.

I’VE MISSED YOU.

8 YEARS IN EUROPE
WAS TOO LONG.

YOU WERE ONLY 19
WHEN I LEFT

AND A WILD CHILD.

THE MORE THINGS
CHANGE...

MAY I?

BEAUTIFUL.

I’LL SEND IT TO YOU.

BY THE WAY,
HOW’S YOUR FATHER?

HE’S BEEN MAKING NEWS
LATELY.

YOU KNOW DADDY.
HE’S ALWAYS HAPPY
WHEN HE’S MAKING NEWS.

RICH AND MYSTERIOUS
WITH A FABULOUS FINISH.

REMINDS ME A LITTLE
OF YOU.

GARCIA, EXCITEDLY:
OK. I HAVE NEWS.

I HAVE... I HAVE
COPIOUS... COPIOUS NEWS.

FIRST THE BACKSTORY.
THAT DROP BOX

THAT I FIRST FOUND
THOSE 4 PHOTOS ON.

I KEPT IT ACTIVE
BECAUSE I THOUGHT
MAYBE WE’D GET LUCKY.

I ALSO FASHIONED IT WITH
EVERY TOOL AND TRAP I KNOW

FOR CAPTURING IP ADDRESSES.

SO DID WE GET LUCKY?

NO. I MEAN YES, BUT, NO.

UH, THERE’S BEEN
A NEW DROP OF PHOTOS.

I JUST SENT
TO YOUR TABLETS NOW.

THEY INCLUDE
A SERIES OF CAPTIVITY

AND POSTMORTEM PHOTOS
OF OUR SECOND VICTIM.

WE WERE TOO LATE.

AND IT’S EVEN WORSE
THAN THAT.

THERE’S A WHOLE NEW SERIES
OF PHOTOS OF A THIRD VICTIM

WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT,
PLUS ONE NEW CANDID PHOTO.

HE’S ALREADY GOT
HIS FOURTH VICTIM.

DID YOU FIND
THE IP ADDRESS?

NO. I’M SORRY.

OK. ANY GOOD NEWS?

NO. I MEAN... OK,
THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL.

I DID A SEARCH OF CASES
INVOLVING D.C.
HIGH-END HOTELS,

AND I FOUND A BUNCH
OF ARTICLES REGARDING

THE DEATH OF SOMEONE
NAMED TRACY FERGUSON.

WAIT, I THINK I REMEMBER THAT.

MM-HMM. YOU PROBABLY DO.
SHE WAS IN A BUNCH
OF HEADLINES,

MOSTLY BECAUSE HER FATHER
WAS GEORGE FERGUSON,
THE D.C. POWER BROKER.

ANYWAY, SHE WAS 27.
SHE WAS FOUND IN A SUITE
AT THE MONTCLAIR HOTEL,

AND SHE WAS WEARING
A WHITE SATIN NEGLIGEE.

LIKE THE ONE THE UNSUB
DRESSES HIS VICTIMS IN

FOR THE CAPTIVITY PHOTOS.

EXACTLY.

OK, SO TRACY FERGUSON
COULD BE

OUR UNSUB’S FIRST VICTIM.

DID THEY INVESTIGATE?

THEY DID.

GOOD. WE NEED THOSE FILES.

THAT’S WHERE IT GETS STICKY.

THE CASE WAS SEALED
AT THE TIME.

IN ORDER TO UNSEAL IT,
YOU NEED SPECIAL PERMISSION

FROM THE LEAD
INVESTIGATING AGENT.

THE D.C. FIELD AGENT
IN 2010

WHO WAS IN CHARGE
OF THAT CASE

WAS LINDA BARNES.

HEY. WE JUST RECEIVED
THE ORIGINAL CACHE OF PHOTOS

FROM ADAM JEFFRIES’ DROP BOX.

HOW MANY ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT?

A LOT.

THERE’S STILL ONLY
ONE CANDID PHOTO

FOR EACH VICTIM,
BUT THERE ARE NEARLY 40

CAPTIVITY AND DEATH PHOTOS.

IS THERE A WAY
TO GET THE METADATA
FOR EACH OF THESE PHOTOS?

IT FEELS LIKE THERE ARE FRAMES
MISSING FROM THE SEQUENCE.

YOU’RE RIGHT.
THERE ARE MISSING FRAMES.

YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL.

PLEASE DON’T DO THIS!

HE’S KEEPING THE FRAMES
THAT CAPTURE THE MOMENT
OF MAXIMUM FEAR

WHERE THE REALIZATION
OF DEATH IS IN THEIR EYES.

SO BEAUTIFUL.

FOLLOWED BY
THE MOMENT RIGHT AFTER

WHERE THE FEAR
AND THE LIFE LEAVE THEM.

OK, SO WHY IS IT THAT MOMENT
THAT HE NEEDS TO RELIVE?

WELL, IF TRACY FERGUSON
REALLY WAS HIS FIRST VICTIM,

THEN SHE COULD BE THE KEY
TO ALL OF THIS.

WE NEED TO SEE THAT FILE.

IT MEANS TALKING
TO BARNES.

ARE YOU READY
TO DO THAT?

YOU LOOK SO MUCH LIKE TRACY.

IT’S THE FIRST THING
I NOTICED ABOUT YOU WHEN WE MET.

MAYHEW, YOU’RE NOT
LIKE HER AT ALL.

YOU’RE SAFE WITH ME.

LET’S TAKE SOME PICTURES.

YOU WHAT?

I KNOW HOW IT LOOKS.

I KNOW WE VIOLATED
YOUR DIRECTIVE,

BUT THE BAU SAVES LIVES.

ISN’T... ISN’T THAT
WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT?

ARE YOU REALLY
THAT ARROGANT?

DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE
THAT THE BAU

IS THE ONLY UNIT
IN THE FBI

THAT’S IN IT
FOR THE GOOD GUYS?

AGENT JAREAU,
WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

I NEED ACCESS TO A CASE
YOU INVESTIGATED

AS A D.C. FIELD AGENT
IN 2010... TRACY FERGUSON.

AND YOU SEALED HER FILE.

LET ME GUESS.
YOU THINK IT WAS MURDER.

I DO.

I THINK TRACY WAS THIS
UNSUB’S FIRST VICTIM.

YOU THINK THAT’S WHY
I SEALED THE FILE,

BECAUSE I MISSED SOMETHING?

NO, I DON’T KNOW WHY
YOU SEALED THE CASE.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT
I NEED TO SEE IT NOW.

HER FATHER REPORTED HER
MISSING.

THAT WASN’T UNUSUAL.
SHE WAS A JUNKIE.

SHE WENT MISSING
ALL THE TIME.

WE FOUND HER IN A SUITE
IN THE MONTCLAIR HOTEL.

SHE’D CHECKED IN ABOUT
6 1/2 HOURS EARLIER,

ALONG WITH 7 MEN,

EACH OF WHOM
TOOK HIS TURN WITH HER

IN EXCHANGE FOR HEROIN.

THERE WERE NEEDLES
ALL OVER THE BED.

SO THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED
TO TRACY FERGUSON.

SHE ODed.

HER FATHER CUT HER OFF
A COUPLE WEEKS EARLIER...

TOUGH LOVE.

SO SHE STARTED HAVING SEX
WITH MEN FOR DRUGS.

SO YOU SEALED THE CASE
TO PROTECT HER FATHER?

I DIDN’T SEE THE POINT
OF THE DETAILS
OF HIS CHILD’S DEATH

BEING SPLASHED
ALL OVER THE TABLOIDS.

GEORGE FERGUSON
WAS A GOOD MAN.

I DIDN’T KNOW.

AND SO WE ARE CLEAR,

PERMISSION TO ACCESS
TRACY FERGUSON’S FILE

IS OFFICIALLY DENIED.

AND JUST SO WE ARE
CRYSTAL CLEAR,

I AM RELIEVING YOU OF DUTY
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

PLEASE TURN OVER
YOUR GUN AND YOUR BADGE,
AGENT JAREAU.

JJ, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

EMILY, HEY, UM,
SO I TALKED TO HER.

SHE, UH, SHE KNOWS
I PUT THE BAU ON THE CASE.

AND SHE FIRED ME.

JJ, I’M SO SORRY.

NO, EMILY, I’M FINE.

I’M FINE.

LOOK, SHE’S NOT GONNA GIVE US
ACCESS TO THE CASE,

BUT I GOT SOMETHING.

THERE WERE 7 OTHER PEOPLE
IN THAT HOTEL ROOM

THE NIGHT TRACY DIED.

HELLO. WHAT’S UP?

WE’VE BEEN TRYING
TO GET AHOLD OF YOU

FOR 20 MINUTES.
CAN YOU TALK?

UH, I CAN SORT OF TALK.
DID JJ GET THE FILE?

NO, BUT WE DON’T NEED
THE WHOLE FILE ANYMORE.

ALL WE NEED ARE
THE CRIME SCENE PHOTOS.

CAN YOU HACK JUST THE PHOTOS
WITHOUT RAISING FLAGS?

YOU MEAN LIKE
A SURGICAL STRIKE?

YEAH, GIVE ME A SECOND.

OK. I’M IN.
WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?

WE’RE NOT SURE,
BUT THERE WERE 7 MEN

IN THE ROOM WITH TRACY
ON THE NIGHT THAT SHE DIED.

AND WE’RE HOPING
SOMEBODY LEFT SOMETHING BEHIND.

UH, LET’S SEE.
I SEE AN OPEN BOTTLE
OF WINE.

UH, IT’S NOT JUST
ANY BOTTLE OF WINE.

IT’S A BOTTLE OF
CHATEAU ANJOU FROM 1918.

THAT’S
EXTREMELY RARE.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO TRACE THE SALE

OF A BOTTLE LIKE THAT.

CAN YOU RUN A SEARCH
TO SEE IF ONE
WAS SOLD AT AUCTION?

ON IT.

OH! I GOTTA... OH! I HAVE TO...
I HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.

UH, CHIEF?

ANITA. WELL,
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU
ON MY CROATIAN PHISHING CASE.

ACTUALLY, NOT REALLY UPDATE,
MORE LIKE ASK A QUESTION.

OR A FEW QUESTIONS.

SURE. COME IN MY OFFICE.

GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT.

THERE IS A MISSING
PERSONS REPORT.

HER NAME IS JESSICA MAYHEW.

HER FATHER IS U.S. SENATOR
ALFRED MAYHEW.

HE’S TALKING TO THE PRESS.

WE’RE TAKING YOU LIVE
TO THE PRESS CONFERENCE NOW.

MY DAUGHTER JESSICA

IS A VICTIM
OF THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC

THAT IS SWEEPING
OUR NATION.

SHE’S BEEN MISSING
FOR OVER TWO DAYS NOW,

AND I’M... I’M ASKING
FOR HELP IN FINDING HER.

BARNES IS THERE

TALKING TO THE SENATOR.

OPTICS LIKE THIS
ARE RIGHT UP HER ALLEY.

JESSICA MAYHEW IS OUR
UNSUB’S NEWEST VICTIM.

SHE LOOKS A LOT
LIKE TRACY FERGUSON.

AND LIKE TRACY,
SHE’S A HIGH-PROFILE
MEMBER OF THE D.C. ELITE.

CALL GIRLS,
EVEN EXPENSIVE ONES,

WEREN’T SATISFYING HIM
ANYMORE.

HE NEEDED SOMEONE
WITH A PEDIGREE,

SOMEONE MORE LIKE TRACY.

GUYS, I... I FOUND
OUR CHATEAU ANJOU.

IT WAS SOLD AT AUCTION
TO A KEVIN PECK.

OH. KEVIN PECK IS
GEORGE FERGUSON’S STEPSON.

LET’S GO.
THAT’S OUR UNSUB.

SENDING HIS LAST KNOWN
TO YOUR TABLETS.

YOU’RE NOT LIKE HER
AT ALL, ARE YOU?

SHE NEVER LET ME TOUCH HER.

EVEN WHEN THOSE FILTHY
ANIMALS WERE ON TOP OF HER,

SHE ONLY LET ME WATCH.

I SAT RIGHT OVER THERE.

I DRANK A GLASS OF WINE WHILE
THEY TOOK TURNS WITH HER.

OHH...

SHE WAS JUST BEING CRUEL.

SHE KNEW HOW MUCH
I WANTED HER,

AND ALL SHE DID
WAS LET ME WATCH.

IT’S OK. I’VE GOT
A NICE BIG DOSE

OF YOUR MEDICINE
RIGHT HERE.

I CAN’T TAKE THAT MUCH.

I KNOW.

PENELOPE,
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

I’VE GOT SOME BACKGROUND
ON KEVIN PECK.

LOOKS LIKE HIS PARENTS
WERE NEVER MARRIED,

DAD WASN’T AROUND,
AND HIS MOM MARRIED
GEORGE FERGUSON

WHEN KEVIN WAS 13.

THE WASHINGTON
POWER BROKER.

CORRECT. THE GOSSIP RAGS
WERE NOT KIND.

SHE WAS A FORMER STRIPPER.

SO TRACY WAS HIS DAUGHTER
FROM HIS FIRST MARRIAGE.

SHE WAS 19
WHEN HE REMARRIED.

THAT WOULD MAKE TRACY
6 YEARS OLDER THAN KEVIN.

HE COULD HAVE HAD
A CRUSH ON HER.

I THINK IT WAS
MORE THAN THAT.

HE WAS HEAD OVER
HEELS FOR HER.

THERE’S ALL KINDS
OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF THEM

FROM LIKE VARIOUS EVENTS
ALL OVER THE D.C. AREA.

LOOK AT THAT BODY LANGUAGE.

HE’S ALL OVER HER,
AND SHE’S PULLING AWAY.

ACCORDING TO TRACY’S
MYSPACE PAGE,

SHE WAS NOT FOND
OF HER STEPMOTHER.

SHE REFERRED TO HER AS, QUOTE,

"THE WHITE TRASH GOLD-DIGGER
WHO MOVED INTO MY HOUSE."

WELL, IF THAT
WAS HER ATTITUDE

AND HE WAS SMITTEN
WITH HER,

HE MIGHT HAVE FELT
SHE WAS TOO GOOD FOR HIM.

HER SUBSTANCE ABUSE
COULDN’T HAVE HELPED THINGS.

THE DRUG USE SPIRALED
OUT OF CONTROL A FEW YEARS
INTO THE MARRIAGE.

SO IF TRACY’S DRAMA ATE UP
THE WHOLE FAMILY’S ATTENTION,

IT’S POSSIBLE KEVIN WENT
IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION,

PLAYING THE ROLE
OF THE OBEDIENT CHILD.

YEAH, THAT DOES MAKE SENSE.

HIS STEPFATHER WAS
QUITE FOND OF KEVIN.

HE SET UP A TRUST FUND
FOR HIM

THAT KEVIN HAD ACCESS TO
WHEN HE TURNED 18.

I BET THAT CHANGED
HOW TRACY TREATED HIM.

IT SEEMS TO HAVE.
ACCORDING TO BANK RECORDS,

KEVIN WAS PUTTING
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
INTO TRACY’S ACCOUNT.

THANKS, GARCIA.

WE BETTER BE KICKING IN
THE RIGHT DOOR.

SO WHERE DID HE TAKE HER?

THE THIRD PHOTO
IN EVERY SERIES...

IT WAS CRAFTED TO FULFILL
A BUYER’S NECROPHILIAC FANTASY.

TRACY WAS KEVIN’S FANTASY.

TRACY DIED IN A SUITE
AT THE MONTCLAIR HOTEL.

THAT’S WHERE HE TOOK HER.

TRACY...

MY TRACY.

I LOVED YOU SO MUCH.

I WOULD HAVE
TAKEN CARE OF YOU.

HANDS, HANDS,
SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!

GET ’EM UP!

STAY THERE.

ALL RIGHT, UP, UP, UP.

YOU’RE TOO LATE.

TOO LATE. LOOK
HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS,

MY TRACY.

HEY. HEY.

SHE’S GOT A PULSE.

IT’S WEAK, BUT SHE’S ALIVE.

COME ON!

CALL AN AMBULANCE!

IS SHE ALIVE?
IS SHE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?

SENATOR, SHE’S GOING
TO BE FINE.

HER ABDUCTOR
GAVE HER AN OVERDOSE,

BUT SHE SHOULD BE
ALL RIGHT.

YOU SAID THIS WAS
THE WORK OF THE BAU.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU.

ALL OF YOU.

YOU SAVED
MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE.

IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT.

GLAD WE WERE HERE.

SO AM I. LOOK,
I KNOW THERE’S BEEN TALK

ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN
YOUR UNIT,

SPREADING PROFILERS
OUT INTO
THE FIELD OFFICES.

THAT’S JUST ONE OPTION
TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY.

I THINK THAT’S A MISTAKE.

UNDERSTOOD.

WHEN I RETURN
TO THE SENATE,

I WILL PERSONALLY
ENSURE

THAT THE BAU IS
FUNDED AND STAFFED
TO FULL CAPACITY.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
DON’T YOU THINK

AGENT PRENTISS
SHOULD BE REINSTATED
AS UNIT CHIEF?

CONSIDER IT DONE.

SENATOR, DOES THIS MEAN
THAT I HAVE
HIRING AUTHORITY?

WITHIN REASON.

I’M ONLY ASKING BECAUSE
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR BARNES

TERMINATED AGENT JAREAU
WHEN SHE ASKED QUESTIONS

ABOUT THE TRACY FERGUSON CASE.

THAT WAS THE CASE
THAT ALLOWED US
TO IDENTIFY THIS UNSUB.

YOU HAVE FULL AUTHORITY.

STAFF THE BAU
ANY WAY YOU SEE FIT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

LINDA, I’D LIKE
TO SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE

FIRST THING TOMORROW.

DISTRACTING OMRI
LIKE THAT.

YOU WERE WORKING A CASE
FOR THE BAU, WEREN’T YOU?

YEAH, I WAS.

THAT LOOKED EXCITING.

LIKE REAL CRIME-FIGHTING.

YOU WERE PART OF THAT,
