Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 14, Episode 11 - Night Lights - full transcript

The BAU team heads to Portland, Ore., to investigate a chilling abduction that may be linked to a local couple killed in their home a week earlier.

Uh, hon, you ok?

This motion sensor
alert on my watch,

- it keeps going off.
- Ohh...

Turn those notifications
off, would you?

What if somebody's
outside?

It's the cat.
It's always the cat.

I don't understand
how it's not the damn cat.

Ohh, it's 3:30
in the morning.

- That's not the cat.
- Call 911.

Wait, Tim. Let's check.

Come on!
Please let me in!



Please let me in!
Please...

HNA security.
How can we help?

We have a... uh...
I don't know...

Some crazy man
banging on our door.

Ok.
We have an officer

on the way
to your address.

This looks like he's in
trouble, like, real trouble.

Maybe we should
try to help him.

- No.
- No.

For your safety,
do not open the door

or engage with this man.

Oh, my God, Tim.
Somebody is after him.

- We have to...
- We are not opening the door.

He's coming!
Please open the door!



Please open the door!
He's gonna kill us!

Please save us!

I'm telling you, I don't
want a housewarming party.

What is wrong
with you?

Who doesn't like
ribbon-adorned

Potted plants
and veggie crudité.

And hummus with
your face carved in it?

Do you even
fondue, bro?

We've got bigger
fish to fry here.

It's life and death,

and a housewarming party
just seems stupid.

Ooh, who's throwing
a housewarming party?

Oh, please say it's you.

I'm dying for some frivolity,
joy, and some overpriced snacks.

Not me, ok?
Lisa wants one.

She wants to get to know

all of you guys
a little better.

In fact, you're the
only ones invited.

I think someone is
afraid of formal gestures

that might insinuate
a commitment.

Oh, is that
not the ketel one

calling
the pot black?

Hey, I'm a reformed kettle,
and what is it they say?

The fourth Time's
the charm.

What are you
guys talking about?

Oh, hey, luke's
throwing a housewarming party.

No. I'm not having
a housewarming party.

What? I love a good
housewarming party.

Matt, help me out, please.

Uh, what does
Lisa want?

Lisa wants
a party.

Yeah. You're throwing
the party, dude.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh...

Let's meet in the round table.
We have a case.

Lisa put you up
to this, didn't she?

Mm! Mm!

Take a look at this.

He's coming! He's coming!
Please open the door!

Please help us!
He's gonna kill us!

Please save us!

Portland, Oregon,PD
needs our help

locating this man.

They believe the abduction
might be connected

to a local couple
who were killed

in their home last week.

That first couple
was found bound

with duct tape on
their heads, necks,

wrists, and hands.

Both crimes involve duct tape,
and duct tape is pretty common.

Yeah, but abducting
couples isn't.

I mean, “save us.
Help us”?

There's definitely
another abductee

associated with
this second victim.

Well, this guy is barefoot

and wearing boxer shorts,

so either the unsub
surprised them in bed

or this could be
a sexual encounter gone wrong.

If this starts
as consensual,

it certainly
doesn't stay that way.

This guy fights
for his freedom,

fled for his life
instead of going back

for his partner.

Must be some sadistic games
this unsub's playing.

Ok. I hate to say it,

but the other victim
could be dead,

or maybe they split
up, and this guy

was lucky enough
to get on camera.

Did they use facial recognition to I.D.
The victim?

Yeah, but
nothing's come up yet.

So we have
two confirmed murders

and two more
potential ones.

We're gonna have to move
fast to stop him.

Fortunately, we will have
reinforcements on this case.

Wheels up.

Reinforcements? What
reinforcements? Him.

Wait. You're back?

Why are you back?
What happened?

Nothing happened.
The seminar wrapped early,

- and I missed you guys.
- Well, you're just in Time to help us

reel in a nasty one.

We'll brief you on
the way to the jet. Let's go.

And we'll
catch up later.

Go, mighty
professor. Go!

J.P., are you awake?
Can you hear me?

Yeah.

Did anyone see you?

When you
got out, did anyone...

Please say yes.

I... I don't know.

I tried.
I tried, I swear.

How bad does it hurt?

It's bad.

Ohh. I'm really scared.

I am, too.

I love you.

- I need you to know that.
- No.

If we don't get out of here,
I need you to know that, ok?

Don't say that.

Oh, no. Wait.

Wait. Is that...
Oh, God.

Don't do this. Wait.
Oh, wait. Don't...

- Not again. Not again.
- No.

- No, no, no.
- Not again.

- Nik, Nik, look at me.
- No. This isn't fair.

- We didn't do anything.
- Nik, look at me, please!

Nik, look at me.

You're the last thing
that I want to see, ok,

you're the last thing
that I want to see.

No. This isn't fair.

Don't do this. Just don't do this.
Don't. Please.

Don't do this.

- Stop!
- Aah! Aah...

“Revenge, the sweetest morsel

to the mouth that
ever was cooked in hell.”

Sir Walter Scott.

Still no I.D. on the man
in the video

or any other potential
victims,

so we should start
by looking at the files

on our murdered couple
from a week ago.

We need to confirm
a connection.

Garcia, on video conference:
On your tablets, you'll see

William and Sarah Mendelbaum
of Perri Park.

William was a beloved
doctor in the community.

He retired 3 years ago.

And Sarah volunteered at
a local bird sanctuary.

Both of them were
in their early 60s.

Drastically different
physical victimology

than the guy
we saw last night,

who was...
I don't know...

In his late 20s,
early 30s.

The duct tape
tells the tale.

The first couple was
bound around the wrist,

ankles, and neck.

So was our guy
in the video.

This had got to be
the same unsub.

The M.E. determined
the weapon to be

some kind of
a hunting knife.

On the Mendelbaums,
we have 5 stab wounds

on each... 3 on the torso
and two on their necks.

Their eyebrows
were singed,

their eyelashes
completely burned off.

The tips of their eyeballs
were severely burned,

and the skin around their eyes
sustained second-degree burns

antemortem.

Whatever it was
that burned them

couldn't be found
at the scene.

Yeah. Must be

from some kind of
localized heat source,

maybe a lighter
or butane torch,

something so finite
and precise that he

didn't melt the eyeballs
or destroy the eye sockets.

Garcia, can you show us
the video from last night?

Unfortunately, I can.

Help! Help!
Please let me in!

Pause it
right there.

His left cornea.
You guys see that?

Easily written off
as reflector glow

from low-light
video conditions,

but I think
the unsub burned it,

and the skin
around the area

isn't affected like
on the Mendelbaums.

He's getting
better at this.

Except he lost control
of his victim last night,

so he's not that good.

When we land,
Spencer, J.J., Matt,

go to the Mendelbaum
crime scene.

The rest of us will set up
at the localPD.

Let's hope we find
this unsub

before he perfects
his technique.

So the first victims,
the Mendelbaums,

they lived up here
in the west,

and then the aldridge house,
where the second victim

rang the doorbell
was down here in the south,

so... what are these
two neighborhoods like?

Both quiet.

The south part is
adjacent to downtown,

and the west part
is more well-to-do

and secluded
in the hills.

But the blood trail
found at the aldridges'

went from the porch
to the curb,

so our unsub had
a waiting vehicle,

but which direction did
our victim come from?

Well, our guy had mud
on his feet.

How he got that would
answer your question, emily.

The west
part is right at the edge

of a huge
wooded forest.

All right. So that means
our victim would have had

to have approached
through here

from this neighborhood,
I'm assuming. Roxy heights?

That would track.

Wait. If he would've
just made a right

when he came out
of the cul-de-sac,

he would've run smack dab
into a police substation.

He would've been saved.

Maybe he
didn't know the area.

It's not
like we kept it a secret.

We do all kinds
of neighborhood outreach.

No. It changes
our profile.

He picked a victim or,
more likely, a couple

that isn't local.

If they're hard to find,
he's hard to find.

So was that on purpose,
or did he just get lucky?

Maybe the Mendelbaum
crime scene

will help us
figure that out.

Thank you for letting us
into your parents' home.

Are you gonna catch
the son of a bitch

that did this to them?

Well, we won't leave
until we do.

So how long did your dad
practice medicine here?

35 years,
retired for only 3.

It's quite a legacy.

Can you think of
anyone who would want

to hurt him
or your mom?

No. My dad was
a pediatrician.

Everyone loved him
and my mom.

I don't get it.
Why...

Why what?

When my parents wouldn't
answer my calls or texts,

I came over
to check on them, and...

You found the bodies.

Yeah,
but before I did,

the whole house
was dark.

I was stumbling around,
trying to find them,

and when I got
to the fuse box,

all the breakers
were tripped.

So the killer turned off
all the lights.

This wasn't in
the police report.

Did you tell them?

Is it important?

Uh, it might be.

Uh, excuse me.

So we ruled out
the son, right?

Yeah. He was home
all night. Why?

Well, the unsub cut
the power to the house,

and ray didn't mention it
to the police.

It's odd, but he did just
lose both his parents.

And that tracks
with what we found.

Well, what
did you find?

Well, the unsub
secured them here

and not very well.

How can you tell?

Butane burns
on the table.

They squirmed as he
brought the lighter down.

Ok. Well, why blind him,
then stab?

He has them secure.
It's already dark.

What is he trying
to accomplish?

This.
So we asked the police

to dust for prints, but we
were not expecting this.

Oh, my God.

The prints all belong to
Mr. and Mrs. Mendelbaum.

Yeah.
They were trying

to feel their way
around blind.

And he was watching them
with his goggles on.

He wanted to see
them struggle.

No. He wanted to
see them panic.

He wanted them to know
that at any point,

he could stab them,
which he did

right there
and then here.

We thought that last night's
victim got lucky and escaped,

but this crime scene tells
an entirely different story.

Yeah. He let them
go on purpose,

first in a controlled
setting like this,

then out
in the wild.

So last night's victim
didn't get lucky.

No. Our unsub's
a hunter.

It's ok.

Baby, it's...
It's ok.

Nik, I can't see.

- Just...
- I can't see.

Focus on my voice.

I... I...

Think about the place
that we met.

Remember?

Balboa.
Balboa island.

Remember that sunset?
Otherworldly, right?

The pinks, the blues.

Yeah.

I was hoping that
if you noticed me

noticing them,
you'd have coffee with me.

It worked.
It did.

What was the name
of that coffee shop?

The balboa island
coffee company.

We're gonna go
back there, ok?

- Yeah.
- I promise you,

we're
gonna make it back.

Shh, shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh.

He's coming.
Shh. He's coming.

I hear him.
Shh, shh.

Uh... uh...

Nik. Nik?

No. No.
Nik?

No, no.
It's my turn. Hurt me.

- He's got a knife.
- What?

Oh... oh... oh...

Come on.

Get up.

Now let's see you
get out of here.

Go on. Get going.

J.P.

Based on the video,
the unsub's goggles

use a process
called amplification

which increases
the available light

in order to make it bright
enough for eyes to see it.

Now, he can see his victims,
but they can't see him,

but here's the part
that doesn't make sense.

Once they're blinded,

he shouldn't need
to wear that anymore.

Or it could be symbolic, or
he's making a statement...

Colorblind. Love is blind,
blind justice.

Garcia,
you're on speaker.

Ooh, I live for speaker. Ok.

I have found
additional security footage

of our video guy running...
Or should I say sprinting?

Past 3 houses in roxy heights.

Sent it to your tablets
exactly now.

Wow.
But he's really moving.

This is after two miles
across open forest,

he's still sprinting.

Well, that could be
just adrenaline,

but this guy's got
perfect form.

He's also wearing
an exercise watch.

This victim trained regularly.

Well, maybe he's
a runner from out-of-town.

Are there any
upcoming marathons?

Yes, tomorrow.

There's a half-marathon
for breast cancer research.

I've run it
a few Times myself

in memory of
my aunt joyce.

Garcia, I want you to run
the entrants' names.

Cross-reference them
with their bib photos

and the video stills
of our missing man.

Look for romantic couples
running together,

married or domestic,

spanning sexual
preference lines.

All over it, boss, like beanies
on man buns on hipsters.

Oh. Here we go.

J.P. McCoy... 32,
Nikki Pareno... 29,

recently engaged, from
Huntington Beach, California.

He's a financial planner.
She's a Vet Tech.

Looks like they were staying
at a home-share rental

they got off cozynest.

It's just like AIRBnB.

It's temporary rentals,
having to trust strangers.

It's pretty risky
if you think about it.

Address sent.

Nik...

Nik, is he gone?

I think so.

Ok. Yeah.

I got to get
you free.

No, no, no, no, no.
No. No.

He's gonna be
right back.

Please, J.P.
Now is your chance.

I'll try and help you.

There's a staircase about
12 feet ahead of you.

Keep going. That's it.

Ok.

Lewis, rossi, take the back.
Wait for my mark.

Now be careful.

Take the hand rail

and just take one
step at a Time, ok?

One step at a Time.

Moving into
position.

Nik, Nik, Nik,
I hear voices.

You can do this, J.P.

Just head toward
their voices.

Ok. We're ready.

1, 2, 3.

Clear.

They're not here.

- Uh!
- Huh...

He cut off the power
here, as well.

This is how
he gains control.

Right. So they run outside
to check the fuse box.

He gets inside.

They come back in,
and they're immediately

at a disadvantage
in the dark.

Just like
the Mendelbaums.

Yeah, but that's
where it ends.

I mean, there's no stumbling
around in the dark here.

There's no handprints
at all beyond the usual.

He did not
kill them here.

So the unsub moved them
to a secondary location.

It's risky to move
two people.

Why do it,

and how do you do it
without being seen?

All right,
so we know this guy

likes to take big risks,
which he's done here

by coming all the way
across town to this house,

but we still don't know why
this house is so special.

Israel keyes evaded
capture for decades

because he
cracked the code.

Right. Don't kill anybody
connected to you,

and don't kill in a space
that can be connected to you.

Well, maybe this unsub
did his research

and figured
that out, too.

All right, so maybe
this guy's smart enough

to have created a special
layer of protection

by using cozynest to
find and attack strangers,

or it's the opposite,
and there's some kind

of an emotional tie and he
chose this house purposefully.

Your daddy
said you're sort of

a night owl around
the neighborhood.

I have a hard Time sleeping,
and I like the night.

Anything happen last
night that's a little

out of the normal
routine for around here?

Our neighbors like
to rent their place out

on cozynest,
so it's always

a mixed bag
next door.

Well, did you see
anyone coming or going?

Well, earlier,
I was in my room,

and I saw the guy
and a girl come home,

must have been
from a run.

What about after that?

I thought they invited
a friend over because

I saw this guy helping
the runner dude into a car.

The new guy, what
did he look like?

Dark clothes, a hoodie.

Something about him made me
assume he was a dealer,

you know?

He had these weird
sunglasses on and everything.

These sunglasses, what
was weird about them,

I mean, other than he
had them on at night?

Had something
shiny on them,

like a stripe
or something.

It caught my eye when
he opened the car door

and the overhead
light went on.

If I were to show
you a picture

of these sunglasses, would
you be able to I.D. Them?

Yeah. Sure.

That's them.

Thanks, man.

We need to deliver
the profile.

The unsub we're looking for
is believed to be a white male

in his late 20s to early 30s
who is visually impaired.

Now, based on
eyewitness confirmation,

he's wearing these.

They're electronic sunglasses
that help him see in the dark.

So he's blind? That
should make him easy to find.

No. He's impaired,
not fully sightless,

and with the aid
of the glasses

and the night-vision
goggles, he most likely

has close
to full vision.

What's more relevant for
our profile, however,

is that behind
this disability lurks

a psychopath incapable
of feeling empathy.

But his rage over his
condition is now externalized

on his victims, including anyone
who shows him any empathy.

It's also possible
that this unsub has learned

how to weaponize
his disability

in order to make
himself seem

less threatening
to his victims.

However, this unsub
has limited social skills.

His disability has kept him
withdrawn and isolated.

That's why he's taken
his own impairment out

on his victims.

He wants them to know
what it's like to be him.

Bringing them to his level
allows him to draw out

the torture and engage in
cat-and-mouse-type play with them.

Psychopaths
get bored easily.

That's why they take
bigger and bigger risks.

That's why he released J.P.,

and we expect him to continue
to escalate with Nikki.

What does that
look like?

It could be pretending
to care about her

or pretending to let her go
after he blinds her.

Nikki might have a chance
if she can prove that

she sees him as a human being
instead of a monster,

which is how he feels.

J.P., you made...

Oh... oh...

Oh... did you
hurt him?

Did you?

Oh, please. No.

Oh...

Uh...

Uh...

You don't
have to kill me.

Let me go. I won't
say anything.

Look at me.

Are you repulsed by me?

What happened to you?

I want to know.
Please tell me.

Whoa.

What'd you find, Garcia?

Well, uh, the first
two victims were

very well-respected, just
like their son reported,

but Dr. Mendelbaum was not
without a checkered past.

I'm sending you
a news clipping now.

You are, I'm sure,
aware of exposure therapy.

It's a form of cognitive
behavioral therapy

That's been around
since the 1950s in which.

A patient is forced
to confront their anxieties.

Take arachnophobia,
for instance.

Under the guidance of a doctor
and/or a psychologist,

a patient is methodically
introduced to spiders

in a controlled setting,
the idea being that

the more familiar
they are with arachnids...

The less
you fear them.

Well, it looks like
Dr. Mendelbaum

was trying this out
with his patients.

Two... correct
me if I'm wrong,

- and I want to be wrong...
- Were children, no?

They were, and
exposure therapy with children

has to be administered
with extreme care,

or it can be interpreted
as negative reinforcement,

compounding the problem.

Ray withheld details

about his parents'
murder from the police.

Consciously
or unconsciously,

he may have feared that
this played a part in it.

Well, if the unsub was
one of his dad's patients,

he might be right.

One of these kids
took his own life

only after a few sessions
of exposure therapy,

but that was enough for
your father to discontinue

his work and take
a leave of absence.

No. That case has nothing to do
with what happened to my folks.

We settled
with the family.

We agree, but your
parents' killer

could have been another
kid he treated.

Ray...

Ray, we know your
father was a good man

and a good doctor,

that he regularly
gave free checkups,

and medical care
to at-risk kids.

Even good men
make mistakes.

You need to help us
fix what your dad did

because right now,
his killer

has two more victims
someplace.

He kept detailed records.
We still have them.

We're gonna need
to see those.

What do you
want from me?

Is there something
I can help you with?

Aah!
Aah!

Is this
another game?

No.

No more games.

You're gonna be my eyes.

He kept all of his
old patient records,

even the not
so successful ones.

He was writing a memoir
about his research,

even admitting his failures,
in hopes to find

a better way
to help these kids.

If you don't mind,
I'll leave you to it.

Hey, um...

I know this is
really hard for you.

We really
appreciate it.

Oh, talk about
a needle in a haystack.

And they're anonymized,
no names.

Huh. Ok, well, a
needle in an ocean.

So according to Garcia,
the study took place

From the late nineties
to the early 2000s,

so let's just pull everything
from that Time frame.

Dr. Mendelbaum seemed
to focus on patients

suffering from
separation anxiety,

which is a common
condition in childhood.

And this sort of therapy
can be effective

with proper supervision,

but without
the proper guidance,

it can have
the opposite effect.

It can take an otherwise
effective form of therapy

and turn it into
an endless form of torture.

And how would that
anxiety manifest?

Crying in school,
fear of drowning,

refusal
to sleep alone.

Fear of the dark?

Absolutely.
Nyctophobia.

This file might
be our unsub...

Number 20411.

One of the primary treatments
is desensitization,

incremental,
nonthreatening intervals

of darkness, kind of like being
in solitary confinement.

- That's not good.
- No. It is not.

Ok, so it looks like
he was a patient

for 14 months before
the study was stopped.

The doc was trying a more
aggressive approach...

Longer periods of
isolation in the dark,

the use of blindfolds
within hypnosis...

Since this patient had
such a severe case.

That's not long enough
for irreversible

brain damage, but it the
doctor stopped his therapy

after his other
patient's suicide,

the unsub's parents
might have decided

to continue the therapy
unsupervised.

Or even as a way to punish
him when he acted out,

locking him in the dark,
thinking they're

helping him,
toughening him up...

Their pseudo,
amateur version of

the doctor's treatment,
completely dangerous,

upping the ante
and retraumatizing him.

We need to crack this code
and find patient 20411.

So now that you
know the truth...

You still want
to help me?

Yes.

I promise that
I'll help you,

but first, I want
to see J.P., please.

Go.

Go.

I just got
off the phone with Garcia.

The owners of the cozynest house
where J.P. And Nikki

were abducted
are out of town.

However, we were able
to track down their daughter,

who manages the rental
in their absence.

She's on her way in.

- Great.
- It's got to be here.

I've applied every potential
numeric algorithm,

and so far, nothing.

Well, if
this exposure therapy

was the unsub's stressor,

why wait until now
to take his revenge?

He could have
been locked up.

Or moved away
or had been hospitalized.

More to the point,
why go after

a seemingly random couple
like J.P. And Nikki?

It just
doesn't add up

unless it was about

the home
they're staying in

and not about
them specifically.

This guy absolutely
lives for the hunt,

so what if this
isn't only about

reenacting his trauma
but it's also

about unfinished
business?

But
with who, though?

I mean, who's left
for him to hunt?

Where are we going?

You help me,
I'll help you.

These codes represent children,
but they're obscure

to protect them,
personally connected

but supersedes numerical logic.

Home address.

Do you
recognize this man?

No, but I'm confused.

You said these people
were abducted by this man.

Are they dead?

Right now,
they're missing,

but the last place that
they were seen alive

was at your parents'
rental house.

You take care
of that for them?

Yeah. I mean,
I just make sure

people get
checked in and out

and that the place gets
cleaned up in between guests.

You ever have any problems
with any other guests?

You ever have
to go out there?

No. With the website,
it pretty much runs itself.

This was just a way for them
to make some extra money.

We don't believe
the suspect went

to your parents' house
by coincidence.

You think they
were the target?

It's possible.

Did you
grow up there?

Yeah, but my parents
are quiet, homebodies.

I don't know who would
even do something like this.

Does the number
20411 mean anything to you?

Christian,
what does it mean?

I haven't talked
about this in...

I don't even know if...

It's all right.
Take your Time.

In high school, I went
to this bonfire party

in the woods.

There was a lot
of drinking, you know,

typical high-school
stuff.

This boy convinced me
to take him

to inspiration point,
the local overlook.

Mars was supposed
to be visible,

and he wanted me to
describe it for him.

I felt bad for him,
so I went.

Because
he was blind?

I mean,
not completely.

He...

He tried to hold me down,

even wrapped tape
around my wrists

and tied a scarf around my eyes.

I kept fighting
and managed to get away,

but he came after me,

laughing.

I have never been
so scared in my life,

and I started screaming,
and, thankfully,

one of my friends heard me
and came running,

but the look
on this guy's face,

he was clearly enjoying it,

and he could see better
than he let on.

His house
was right by my school,

and every day, I was reminded,

every single day.

It made me sick.

He lived at
20411 mansard lane.

What was his name?

Could I possibly
ever forget it?

It's Dustin Eisworth.

Dustin Eisworth... son
of Troy and Patricia Eisworth

of 20411 Mansard lane.

He ticks all of
the troubled-youth boxes.

Sending you directions now.

All right.
We're on our way.

- Same.
- Garcia, what else do we need to know?

Well,
he was kicked out of school

for a Cornucopia
of disciplinary issues,

including Christian's
account of the assault.

Then he went to reform school.

Then he went to prison
for getting in a bar fight

that left one man
permanently blind.

He was only supposed to serve
3 years in prison.

He ended up serving 10,

most of those
in solitary confinement,

after killing another inmate.

Let me guess.
He just got out.

Garcia, on phone.
3 weeks ago.

So dustin sat in prison
for over a decade,

his resentment
building up.

Not to mention,
his visual condition

would be severely
deteriorated

due to all that
time in solitary.

Well, if he's
staying at his parents' house,

he killed them,
first blinding them

so that they could
know how he felt,

then off to
the Mendelbaums'.

Next, he went looking
for Christian Russo

because she's the one that
got him kicked out of school

but found Nikki and J.P.
instead.

And now he's recreating

his cat-and-mouse power
play with them.

He won't go down
without a fight.

Do not underesTimate
this man.

Do you see them?

I tried
to forgive them

just like I tried to
forgive Dr. Mendelbaum.

You know
what they said?

Dear old mom and dad,
you know what they said?

They said I was sick.

Well,
they made me sick,

and then I went
to get christian,

but I found you there,
you and J.P.

No. No. Please. J.P...

J.p., J.P.

No!

What
did you think?

What, you thought
I would keep him alive?

You thought I would
let you go?

You thought I needed your help?

I might be going blind,
but I'm not stupid.

I could see
right through you.

Everyone thinks they're
better than dustin.

Everyone thinks they're
stronger than me

and they're smarter than me,
that I'm still

that scared little boy
afraid of the dark.

Yaah!

Ah! Uh...

Uh!

Help! Someone!
I'm in here!

Help! I'm in here!

Stay with us.
We're coming in. Where is he?

I don't know.
Somewhere in the house.

Go, go, go!

Checking rooms.

- Have medical standing by.
- All right.

Let's get her out of here.
The house isn't secure.

I'll finish checking
upstairs.

FBI.

FBI.

Thanks.

Did you guys know
that the presumption

about blindness causing
your sense of smell

to heighten is
actually a myth?

The fact is, your memory
of smell sharpens,

but not your
actual sense.

Wow. Keep going.

You got anything else in there,
you want to let out?

There's never been
a single documented case

of anyone who was born blind
developing schizophrenia.

Oh, interesting facts
for 200, Alex.

Tell him what he's won.

Hey, hey, hey!

- Hey!
- Hey!

Ha ha! Ok. Methinks thou dost
protest too much

about this whole not liking
a housewarming thing.

Where's Lisa?

She got
called away

at the last minute
to cover night shift,

so I guess any of the doctors
come with a perfectly

built-in,
acceptable excuse

to not be at their own
parties, even if it was

their own idea
in the first place.

As do FBI Agents.
Anyway, don't be rude.

- Open my gift.
- Ok.

Come on. Just open the gift.

Ooh, ok. Yay!
All right. Well, look.

I'm beginning to understand
the value

of a housewarming party.

Thank you.

Hey. Since
Lisa can't make it,

you need to be sure
to tell her

this is
from all of us...

Bread, salt, and wine.

Don't make me quote
the whole movie.

Uh, am I
missing something?

I mean, I thought
we were all off the carbs.

Guys never get this.

Since you apparently
were sick

on the mandatory viewing day
of “it's a wonderful life,”

we're all gonna help you out.

May your home
always have...

Bread that your house
may never know hunger...

Salt that life may
always have flavor...

And wine,
in which joy

and prosperity
may reign forever.

Oh, yes. There will always
be wine in this house.

- To Lisa.
- To Lisa.

- To Lisa.
- To Lisa.

- Cheers.
- Salud.

In 1947, the FBI
issued a statement

discrediting
It's a wonderful life”

because they said
it promoted communism.

So good
to have you back, doc...
