Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 2, Episode 15 - Revelations - full transcript

Reid has been kidnapped, and the BAU's only things to profile are a house, a computer, and the live feed the kidnapper is sending to them.

GIDEON: Previously on Criminal Minds.

REID: We've got a killing team
on a mission. They're killing sinners.

And one of them's in control enough
to do complicated computer work.

I'm pretty sure it's a video
of Mr. Kyle being murdered.

There's a video of this murder
posted on the Internet?

FARRADAY: Those three dogs

attacked someone
a couple of months ago.

HOTCH: Do you have
the owner's name?

Hi, Mr. Hankel? There's a report
that lists you as calling 911.

You were walking your dogs.

TOBIAS: That's wrong.
I don't have a dog.



JJ, it's him! The guy, JJ.

He's the UnSub!
He's in the barn. Come on!

You cover the front, I'll go around back.
Hotch knows we're missing.

He'll come looking for us.
We'll just wait Tobias out.

(BARKING)

JJ!

(GUN SHOTS FIRING)

-I tried to warn everyone.
-Okay.

Shoot him!

Shoot him, you weakling. He's a Satan.

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)

John, Bobby, take the house
with Gideon and Hotch.

-Morgan.
-What?

There's a barn around back.



Prentiss, come on.

Oh, damn.

FBI!

-MORGAN: JJ! JJ, it's Morgan!
-Don't move!

JJ, it's Morgan and Prentiss,
don't shoot!

It's okay. Are you hurt?

-Tobias Hankel is the UnSub.
-Yeah, we know.

-I'll go call in an ambulance.
-Yeah.

And we just thought he was a witness.

I had to kill them.

-JJ, where's Reid?
-They just completely tore her apart.

-There's nothing even left.
-JJ, look at me.

Look at me. Where's Reid?

Oh, we split up. He said
he was going to go around back.

Downstairs is clear.

So, where the hell is he?

Hey, is there any sign of him yet?

We've got every one of our units
on the road. He won't make it far.

We can't find Reid?

Not yet.

Prentiss, I think Reid followed him
into the corn field.

Looks like somebody got dragged.

FARRADAY: Yeah. Are you sure?
We're on our way now.

Hey, what's going on?

Sheriff two towns over
just gave directions to a man

that fit Hankel's description
to a motor lodge in Fort Bend.

MORGAN: Let's get Hotch and Gideon.
PRENTISS: Okay.

Why are we driving so far?

Well, because if you want
to feel close to God,

sometimes you got
to make the journey.

See, when you start hunting
on your own,

you find yourself a place
where you're at peace.

It's a powerful thing,
taking an animal's life.

You got to be right with yourself.

But I don't want to kill anything.

You stop that lip quivering and sit up.
We're almost there.

They're gone.

-Who are "they"?
-It's just me now.

Who... Who are you?

I'm Raphael.

What's that smell?

They're burning fish hearts and livers.
It keeps away the devil.

They believe
you can see inside men's minds.

It's not true. I study human behavior.

Shh.

I'm not interested
in the arguments of men.

Do you know what this is?

It's God's will.

You don't have to do this.

I'm just an instrument of God.

HOTCH:
"There is not a righteous man on earth

"who does what is right
and never sins."

Ecclesiastes: 7:20.

You know, they do have hotels
in Georgia.

If we're going to figure out
where Tobias Hankel's taken Reid,

the answer is in this house.

There's no sense splitting time
between here and a field office.

-Right.
-Think of the house as a witness.

If it could talk, what would it tell us?

My guess is
it'd tell us to get the hell out.

Welcome to our nightmare.

His computer's an extension of
his brain. I need you to dissect it.

I'll get you set up. Come on.

So, nothing new since I left?

Well, the good thing
is the guy documented

practically every second of his life.

Bad news is we're still unpiling.

From the looks of it,
he hasn't left this place in years.

He knew he could pretend
to be looking for a motel

and throw us off his trail.

No, no, no. It's more than that.

The sheriff's office, 911 calls,

every time he engages the police
he gets away with it,

reassures himself God's on his side,

not ours.

Okay, right out of the gate,
the guy's self-taught.

His mainframe is totally idiosyncratic,
but it's pretty brilliant.

Talk to me about what
this son of a bitch watches online.

-What the hell is all of this?
-It's tame stuff.

Video games, software, sports.

Seriously, if I had to guess
whose system this belongs to,

I would say
a crazy-smart high school kid.

Garcia, that doesn't make any sense.

Well, that's what I've got.
I don't know what to tell you.

A mission-based killer like Hankel
would need constant reassurance.

Religious manifesto,
violent images, something.

Nothing, baby. Nothing.

What about the MPEGs of the murders
he posted online?

Does he sit and watch those
over and over?

Okay, that's weird.

-What? Talk to me.
-They're not even here.

All I have is a site he set up once
he commandeered people's webcams.

And he keeps a running clock
and, at a certain point,

each one is bookmarked
with a different heading.

"Adulterer, liar, thief."

This guy sits here for days
and just watches these people

and he waits for them to commit a sin.

Yeah, but Reid's completely innocent.

But if you dig deep enough on
any of us, we all have our sins.

Including Reid.

What are you staring at, boy?

You're not Raphael.

Do I look like Raphael?

Thank you for burning those.
You're keeping us safe.

-Don't try to trick me.
-I would never try to trick you.

-You're a liar.
-I'm not a liar.

-Lying's a sin.
-I'm not a liar.

This will be over quickly
if you just confess your sins.

I'm not a sinner.

We're all sinners.

(REID PANTING FRIGHTFULLY)

"And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying,

"'Speak unto all the congregation
of the children of the Lord

"'and say unto them, ye shall be holy,
for I the Lord your God am holy."'

You know Leviticus.

I know every word of the Bible.
I can recite it for you.

Devil knows how to read, too.

I'm not a devil. I'm not a devil.
I'm a man.

My name is Spencer Reid,

and I have a mother
and I have a father, just like you.

And they taught me the Bible.

Let me just recite...
Let me recite the Bible.

Time to confess, Spencer Reid.

(REID YELPS)

Confess.

I don't have anything to confess.

(REID YELPING)

Hey, I have got a list of
Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

Someone's name and number's
written on it,

but this looks to be about 12 years old.

Try it. There are no bad leads.

Is that Latin?

(GIDEON SPEAKING LATIN)

"Honor thy father."

(SIGHING)

(GROWLING)

Hey, hey, hey! JJ!
It's me. Are you all right?

Yeah. I'm... I'm sorry. You scared me.

I'm sorry.

I'm talking tomorrow morning
to some guy

who knew Hankel
from Narcotics Anonymous.

Do you...
Why don't you come with me?

-Get out of the house.
-Yeah.

Okay. Great.

Emily?

Yeah.

How come none of this gets to you?

What do you mean?

You came off a desk job,

now suddenly you're in the field
surrounded by mutilated bodies

and you don't even flinch.

She's right. You've never blinked.

I guess maybe I compartmentalize
better than most people.

MORGAN:
Hey, guys, I think I got something.

Tobias Hankel. FBI.

MORGAN: Tobias Hankel.

Tobias.

I think we just found Hankel's father.

You need to eat.

What's your name?

Tobias.

Tobias, who was here before?

It was probably my father.

I'm sorry if he hurt you.

What are you doing?

No, no. Don't. Please, don't.

It helps.

(REID SOBBING)

Don't tell my father.
He doesn't know they're here.

Please. I don't want it.
I don't want it. Please.

-Trust me, I know.
-Please, don't.

MR. REID:
Spencer, please go to the other room.

Don't treat him like a child.

I'm not going to have this conversation
in front of him.

Statistically, children who grow up
in two-parent households

attain three more years
of higher education

than children
from single-parent households.

We're not statistics, Spencer.

I'm not crazy.

If you refuse to take care of yourself,
I can't help you.

-I do take care of myself.
-What day is it?

That's not fair.

I'm out of ideas, Diana.

Well, you could take Spencer with you.
Just for a little while.

-Don't do this.
-You're weak.

You're right.

Goodbye.

I'm not weak.

I know, honey.

REID: I'm not weak. I'm not weak.

I'm not weak.

I don't give a damn
whether you're weak or strong.

Yell all you want, boy.

Ain't no one gonna hear you
where you are.

(SCREAMING)

(MAN CONTINUES SCREAMING)

(POLICE OFFICERS CHATTERING)

The coroner put Charles Hankel's
death at approximately six months ago.

-Okay, that's got to be the stressor.
-Stressor?

His father's death
is probably what set him off.

What we need to do is
focus on that time period

to see what was going on in his life

and maybe we can get a key
to where he's hiding out.

Tobias Hankel.

I haven't thought about that boy
in probably 10 years.

So, you two were
in a program together?

He should tell you,
but, yeah, I was his sponsor.

Small town, we all get lumped together.

Me, I was just a drunk, but Tobias,
he was a whole different sort of animal.

-So, what was Tobias' drug of choice?
-Dilaudid.

Drugstore heroin.

He used to cut it with a psychedelic.

That boy was looking to escape as far
from reality as he could get.

Addicts don't get excuses.

But if someone ever needed
to self-medicate, it was that boy.

Why's that?

You know anything about his daddy?

We think Tobias Hankel
may have murdered his father.

Good for him.

You know, Tobias's mama ran off
with another man when he was seven.

His dad went section eight.
Started preaching about sin.

End of the world stuff.

He beat Tobias silly.

He burned a cross in his forehead
when Tobias was 10.

If Tobias wore a hat,
he'd beat him more.

Is there anyone Tobias would turn to
if he was on the run?

Far as I know, he never left home.

You know, honestly,
between his habit and the old man,

I'm amazed he's still alive.

There's something weird
going on here.

-You think?
-No, seriously. Check this out.

This journal is filled
with religious ramblings.

He notates, hour by hour.

"November 15th, 3:17.

"If ye offer a sacrifice of peace offering
unto the Lord,

"ye shall offer it at your own will."
And it goes on and on.

5:04, 7:41, 10:22. 1:42.

But then it goes blank for days.

Well, maybe he got sick of writing.

-I think I got it.
-What is it?

A journal entry.
"December 6th. Father sick.

"Wants me to put him down.
I say, 'Thou shall not kill.'

"He says, 'Honor thy father.'
Must pray for guidance."

So, he kills his father
as an act of mercy?

This is two months ago.

Tobias Hankel's father had been dead
for four months already.

That's exactly it. Look at the floor.

These scuff marks are fresh.

I mean, it's like two people
were moving the chairs

constantly trying to fight for control.

So?

This journal matches
Charles Hankel's handwriting,

but it was written after he died.

Upstairs, Tobias' bedroom,
it's got junk piled from floor to ceiling,

but the other bedroom
could pass a military inspection.

So, are you telling me one of
Tobias' personalities was his father?

Well, Tobias was raised
with a strict religious code.

Black and white, right and wrong.

When his father asked Tobias
to kill him, something had to give.

And his brain couldn't handle
the moral contradiction,

so it split into two personalities
in order to keep his father alive.

So, who is Raphael?

Well, my guess,
he's a mediator between the two.

Angels have no human emotions.

Live or die, they don't care,
as long as it's God's will.

We need to start
profiling Tobias' father.

He may be the one
who chose where to take Reid.

I'll get Garcia on it.

Garcia, I need you to log into
the system as Tobias' father.

This system was set up
three months ago.

Dad was already dead.

I know that, smarty pants.
But do it for your boy anyway, all right?

-Okay.
-Charles Hankel.

Whoa.

You ready, boy?

(GRUNTING) Ready for what?

My weakling son thinks
God gave you to him for a reason.

Let's see if we're both right.

Any luck with the rehab contact?

Well, he has no idea
where Hankel might be,

but we did learn that he has
a serious drug problem. Dilaudid.

Well, that could explain
the psychotic fracture.

What are you talking about?

Tobias is living as
at least three different people.

Himself, Raphael and his father.

Well, this could be some bad news.

A computer store was robbed
in the middle of the night.

A suburb outside of Atlanta.

Thief got away with four laptops,
external hard drives and a satellite.

If it's Tobias,
it puts him right back in business.

-What happened?
-I don't know.

Oh, my God.

MORGAN: Guys! Guys, get in here!

(PRENTISS GASPS)

-PRENTISS: He's been beaten.
-Can't you track him?

Hankel's only streaming this
to his home computer.

This is for us. He knows we're here.

I'm going to put
this guy's head on a stick.

Why can't you locate him?

He's rerouting to a different
IP address every 30 seconds.

I can't track him.

You really see inside men's minds?

See these vermin?

Choose one to die.
I'll let you choose one to live.

No.

I thought you wanted to
be some kind of savior.

You're a sadist in a psychotic break.
You won't stop killing.

Your word is not true.

The other heathens are watching.

Choose a sinner to die,

and I'll say the name and address
of the person to be saved.

I won't choose who gets slaughtered

and have you leave their remains
behind like a poacher.

You really see into my mind, boy?
Can you see I'm not a liar?

Choose one to die, save a life.
Otherwise, they're all dead.

(REID SOBBING)

REID: All right, I'll choose who lives.

All the same.

Far... Far right screen.

Marilyn David.
4913 Walnut Creek Road.

HOTCH: You got that?
GARCIA: Yeah.

(PHONE RINGING)

MARILYN ON PHONE: Hello?

-GIDEON: Marilyn David?
-Yes?

My name is Jason Gideon.
I'm with the FBI.

What?

Raphael?

You've done your part.
Now, it's my turn.

So, now what? Wait for a 911 call
and hope we get there in time?

(REID SOBBING)

Red or white?

-White.
-All right.

Honey, did you leave the drawer open?

Hmm?

Shh.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

DISPATCHER:
911. What's your emergency?

3514 Leavenworth.

Raphael has killed them
before their lies can free more sinners.

(PAM WHIMPERING)

(PAM YELPS)

Thanks, Steve. Thank you.

Slaughtered. Same as the others.

I've got roadblocks for a 15-mile radius.

Every unit's on the road,
but so far, nothing.

I don't know how much longer
Reid can hold out.

Who were the victims?

Pam and Mike Hayes.
He was a local defense attorney.

What Bible passage was left?

Isaiah 59.

HOTCH: "No one calls for justice.
No one pleads their case with integrity.

"They rely on empty arguments,
they offer lies,

"they conceive trouble
and give birth to evil."

Reid, if you're watching,
you're not responsible for this.

You understand me?
He's perverting God to justify murder.

You are stronger than him.
He cannot break you.

MORGAN: I thought you were going to
try and get some rest.

Everyone else is working.
I should be, too.

We can handle it.

It's funny, I keep thinking the one thing

we need to crack this case is,
well, Reid.

Yeah.

You think Reid and I should have
stayed together at the barn, don't you?

JJ, go get some rest.

I can tell that's
what you're thinking. So...

I just want to get Reid home safe.

But if I had his back, like I was
supposed to, he'd be here now.

JJ, what do you want from me?

I just... I want someone
to tell me the truth.

The truth is one of you is here
and one of you isn't.

You've got to figure the rest out
for yourself.

HOTCH: We're not getting any closer.

Reid's brilliant.
He'll figure out how to survive.

You know, I always take advantage
of Reid for his brain,

but I never actually teach him
how to deal with things emotionally.

You lead by example.

And what kind of example is that?

He'll make it.

Tobias?

Yeah. Sorry I had to leave for awhile.

You can leave again
and you can take me with you.

My father would be angry.

-Not if he can't find us.
-He always finds me.

If you tell me where we are,

my friends will come
and they'll save us.

We can't be saved.

We can. We can. I promise.

If you tell me where we are,
I'll save us both.

Listen to me, it's not worth fighting.

Tell me it doesn't make it better.

(REID SOBBING)

-Mom?
-What is it, baby?

-It's the afternoon.
-I'm resting.

The doctor says
you need to get out of bed.

I've been reading.

He says you need exercise.

(SIGHS)

Well, that's because his idea of good
literature is Our Bodies, Ourselves.

Well, he's your doctor.

He's a Neanderthal.

-Where are you going?
-I'm going to see if Jeff wants to play.

Come here. Let me read to you.
Hop up.

Pick one.

REID: Umm...

That one.

Proust. Beautiful choice.

The smell of the madeleine
unleashing the flood of memory.

"For a long time
I used to go to bed early.

"Sometimes,
when I had put out my candle,

"my eyes would close so quickly

"that I had not even time to
say to myself, 'I'm falling asleep.'"

Any more sign of Reid?

He just posted the last murder online.

It's had over 17,000 hits
in the first 20 minutes.

-I want to see it.
-No, you don't.

Don't tell me what I want and don't want.

If I can't watch this, I have
no business being in the field.

JJ, it's not a competition.

I... I need to see it.

If you stop being affected by things,
you lose parts of yourself, you know?

Show me.

I won't watch it with you.

MAN ON TV: 3514 Leavenworth.

Raphael has killed them
before their lies can free more sinners.

We can trace their whole family history.

Here we've got happy, smiling pictures
of Tobias, report cards, all A's and B's.

But at eight years old, we got nothing.

PRENTISS: That's his mother leaving.

Six months later,
on the other side of the board,

we have a form from Child Services
saying they paid a visit.

And then Charles starts keeping
journals about punishing sinners

and needing to remove
the devil from his son.

Which corresponds to Tobias'
drug use. He's trying to escape.

So, wherever Reid is,
it was Tobias' choice,

-not his father's.
-How do you figure?

Look at these two lives.
They're like inverse graphs.

One's getting weaker
while the other one's getting angrier.

Tobias would run away. His father
would have stood and fought.

Okay, so, Tobias uses drugs
as an escape.

I'll go back through the journals
and see if I can find anything

connecting his drug use
to a hiding place.

Where's Gideon?

He's upstairs. Why? What's going on?

Hankel just posted the latest murder.

I don't understand.
Why can't we shut it down?

Because I can't pinpoint his IP address.

Just remove it once he sends it.

It's the Internet, sir. Once something's
out there, you can never take it back.

The entire history of man,
you can't undo anything.

Can you please
do something? Anything.

I do not want him
thinking he has a pulpit.

GARCIA: I have a list of everyone
from the file-sharing chain.

I could send out a mass warning
that the video is actually a virus.

-I'm going to do that. Okay.
-Good. Do it. Do it.

No. No!

They're trying to silence my message.

I can't control what they do.
I'm not with them. I'm with you.

Really?

(KEYBOARD CLICKING)

Reid, if you're watching,
you're not responsible for this.

You understand me?
He's perverting God to justify murder.

You are stronger than him.
He cannot break you.

-You think you can defy me?
-I don't know what he's talking about.

You're a liar.

You're pitiful. Just like my son.

This ends now.

Confess your sins.

(REID SOBBING)

Confess.

I haven't done anything.

(WHIMPERING) Tobias, help me.

He can't help you. He's weak. Confess!

Tobias.

Confess your sins.

(WHIMPERS) No.

(GASPING)

GARCIA: Oh, my God, he's killing him.

(REID GASPING)

And that's the devil vacating your body.

He was a sinner.

TOBIAS: You haven't proven that.

They all are, in the end.

You did the right thing.

You had to... You had to stop the video.

You did the right thing.
There's no question.

God gave him to me for a reason.

Your work is done.

TOBIAS: I can save him.
MAN: How?

By breathing a killer's breath
into his body?

Jason.

(COUGHING)

Whoa.

Wait. Wait a second. When was
the video of the last murder posted?

-9:23.
-And what was the time of death?

The 911 call came in at 9:04,

and the murder must
have been moments later.

That's only a 19-minute difference.

How long would it take
to post the MPEG?

-GARCIA: Two, three minutes.
-Well, let's call it two.

You figure a maximum of
60 miles an hour in a residential area.

That means Hankel has to be within
a 17-mile radius of the crime scene.

-Garcia, can we see it on a map?
-GARCIA: Yeah.

Call Farraday. I want that area
locked down like it's martial law.

Guys.

You came back to life.

Raphael.

There can be only one of two reasons.

I was given CPR.

There are no accidents.
How many members are on your team?

Seven.

RAPHAEL: "The seven angels
who had the seven trumpets

"prepared themselves to sound.

"The first sounded and there
followed hail and fire mixed with blood

"and they were thrown to Earth."

He thinks it's Revelation.

The seven archangels
versus the seven angels of death.

Tell me who you serve.

I serve you.

Then choose one to die.

What?

RAPHAEL: Your team members.
Choose one to die.

REID: Kill me.

RAPHAEL:
You said you weren't one of them.

I lied.

Your team has six other members.
Tell me who dies.

No.

RAPHAEL: Choose and prove
you'll do God's will.

No.

(TRIGGER CLICKS)

(GUN COCKING)

Choose.

I won't do it.

(TRIGGER CLICKS)

-RAPHAEL: Life is a choice.
-No.

(TRIGGER CLICKS)

(GUN COCKING)

Choose.

I choose Aaron Hotchner.

He's a classic narcissist.

He thinks he's better
than everyone else on the team.

Genesis 23:4.

"Let him not deceive himself and trust

"in emptiness, vanity,
falseness and futility,

"for these shall be his recompense."

(GUN FIRES)

(GUN COCKING)

For God's will.

I'm not a narcissist.

Come on.
Look, you can't take anything from that.

-He's not in his right mind, Hotch.
-That's not what I'm saying.

No, stop. Stop!
All right, everybody, right now.

What's my worst quality?

Okay, I'll start.
I have no sense of humor.

-You're a bully.
-I'm a bully.

You can be a drill sergeant, sometimes.

Right.

You don't trust women
as much as men.

Okay, good. I'm all these things,

but none of you said
that I ever put myself

above the team, because I don't, ever.

Reid and I argued about
the definition of classic narcissism,

and he knew that
I would remember that.

And he also quoted Genesis 23:4.
Read it.

JJ: "I am a stranger and
a sojourner with you,

"give me property
for a burial place among you

"that I may bury my dead
out of my sight."

He wouldn't get it wrong
unless it was on purpose.

-He's in a cemetery.
-PRENTISS: I don't see a cemetery.

Call up the first time we saw Reid.

I won't choose who gets slaughtered

and have you leave their remains
behind like a poacher.

Check to see if there are any reports
of poaching in the last couple of days.

Okay. A farmer reported two sheep
being slaughtered on his property.

Where are we talking?

What's that patch of green there?

Marshall Parish.
I think it's an old plantation.

Wait. Tobias wrote in his journals
about "staying clean"

and "keeping away from Marshall."

Guys. There's a cemetery
on the grounds.

-Tobias, is that you?
-Yeah.

Thank you.

You saved my life.

-I'm sorry.
-Why?

He'll win in the end.

Tobias, I need to know something.
It's important. Are we in a cemetery?

I used to come here to get high.

I was right.

No one bothers you here.
I never told anyone about it.

What are these men doing here?

They're from a hospital.
They're here to help.

I don't need help.

And you can't be here without
permission. Tell them, Spencer.

I called them.

Spencer?

I'm doing this for you.

This isn't legal.

Your son's 18, ma'am.
He can act in your welfare.

You need help.

(CRYING) I want to stay here.

I'm sorry.

Please, these are my things.
This is my life.

REID: I'm sorry.

Spencer, please don't do this to me.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What are you sorry for, boy?

-I sent her away.
-Who?

My mom.
I couldn't... I couldn't help her.

Is that a confession?

(SNIFFLING)

I confess.

You know your Bible? Exodus 21:17.

"And he that curseth his father
or his mother

"shall surely be put to death."

Grab a shovel.

I ought to bury you alive in there.

Give you time to think
about what you've done.

-REID: I know what I've done.
-Don't talk back to me.

Dig.

GIDEON: Go!

MORGAN: FBI!

Clear! Clear!

What's that smell?

HOTCH: Let's spread out.
They have to be on foot. Let's go.

What're you stopping for?

(SOBBING)

Dig faster.

-(MEEKLY) I'm not strong enough.
-You're all weak.

Get out of there.

Only one bullet in that gun, boy.

HOTCH: Reid!

MORGAN: Over there.

You killed him.

Tobias?

HOTCH: There he is.

Do you think
I'll get to see my mom again?

(WHISPERING) I'm sorry.

Reid.

You're all right.

I knew you'd understand.

JJ: I am so sorry.

REID: It's all right.
It wasn't your fault.

GIDEON: Let's get you out of here.

Come on.

Can I just have...
Can I have a second alone?
