Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - Mayhem - full transcript

As the city is on high alert, the team begins to believe that they have made a mistake with the profile and that everything the terrorists have done so far may in fact just have been diversion for something even bigger.

Previously, on Criminal Minds...

-Where are we headed?
-New York.

What do we know?
All the killings are mid-day.

Single gunshot to the head,
with a .22.

Surveillance cameras have captured
video of 3 of the murders.

They're all the same.

He wears a hood and
keeps his head down.

Kate Joyner heads up the
New York field office.

She's running point on the case,

along with detectives
Brustin and Cooper.

From the placement of
that camera, odds are



the only view they're gonna
get is the back of his head.

Let's not be too quick

to decide what we do or don't have.

You mind telling me why I'm
catching attitude from her?

FBI brass has made it clear to her

that if she doesn't bring this case home,
she's gonna be reassigned.

And you are at the top of
the list to replace her.

Profile me.

You don't wear a ring.

And you were quick
to flirt with me.

So you're happy to let people
think you are a player.

But you love your wife,
and you would never actually cheat on her.

Get out of the way!

Garcia! We've got an officer down,
16th West of Union Square.



We think we might have
a serious problem.

We have multiple unsubs.
They're disciplined,

they're using countersurveillance,

they know the FBI movements,
there's a hierarchy.

What does that usually equal?

Terrorism.

They're ramping up to something,

and they want us to know
that they're watching us.

Creating panic ensures
that they'll see

the most urgent response time,
short of a bombing.

We need to hit the ground running.

Hey, you OK?

Sir, are you o...

- What's your name?
- What?

What's your name?

Sam.

Call 911.

Yeah, yeah, I did.

Call 911, tell them
there's been an explosion.

Sir, are you OK?

You a cop?

Listen, Kate.

Don't worry. We'll get 'em.

I know.

Call 911. Tell them...

that a federal agent...

OK, so you want me to stay here...

Kate!

Kate!

911, this is the guy that
called about the explosion.

Kate!

Kate!

Kate?

Kate?

My purse! I can't find my purse.

Shh, shh, shh. Don't move.

Aaron, my purse.

Shh. I don't think
you had one. Shh.

I must have dropped it.

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

Stop trying to move.

Aaron.

Aaron?

What happened to you?

What happened?

I don't know. I don't know, a bomb.

An IED. I think it was an IED.

IED?

I have to get up.

No, no, no, no.
Lie down. Lie still.

You need to lie still.

Am I moving my legs?

Shh. What?

Am I moving my legs?

I may have to turn you and see
where the blood is coming from.

OK. Do it.

It might hurt.

Sorry.

Uh... here,

I'm gonna have to see...

Ah, OK.

Are you OK?

Yeah. You just need to, um...

I'm gonna have to see if I can...

just pinch it off
until they get here.

Sorry, I know it hurts.

No... it doesn't hurt.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Kate, Kate, we're gonna
get you out of here, OK?

We're gonna get you out of here.

They're coming, they're coming.

Officer down!

Officer down!

- Aaron.
- Here!

They're not coming.

We told them not to, remember?

Now, how does this work?

The murders simulate a bombing.

They station someone to watch
and gauge police response time.

At which point, they know when
to bring in a second bomb.

The goal is always to take out

the first round of civilians,

followed by a second wave
of emergency responders.

Shh...

The first wave of
responders are targets.

Never think that war,

no matter how necessary,
nor how justified

is not a crime.

Ernest Hemingway.

You can't let go, can you, Hotch?

Aaron...

You don't have to stay.

I'm not leaving.

Officer down!

We need some help! We cannot move!

They're not coming.

Yes, your orders are
not to let anyone in

until the area is cleared.

Oh, man.

But that's...

That's proper procedure.

We're getting reports
that an explosion

has rocked the neighborhood in the
vicinity of the Federal Plaza.

Authorities have closed
down the entire area

and are not going to give any
information at this time.

And with 8 suspicious incidences
in as little as 3 weeks,

we have no room but to speculate

whether or not there
will be more attacks.

We have no word yet
on any injuries,

but with the explosion heard
as far away as Prince Street,

an unconfirmed report
said it was a car bomb,

NYPD's emergency services,
as well as federal...

David, I heard on the radio.
I tried the others, but...

The cell phone system is crashing.

- A car bomb.
- Did they say where?

No. Can you recall every site
where the shootings occurred?

Uh, Hell's Kitchen, Murray Hill,
Lower East Side, Chinatown.

All right, if our profile is correct,
and all 8 murders

were tests to gauge response times,

we're looking at 8 suicide bombers

who are about to hit every
one of those locations.

Call Homeland Security.

Tell them to pour troops
into all of those sites.

Actually, if we're correct,
there'll be 16 suicide bombers.

16?

Yeah, we predicted that
they'll hit the second wave

of emergency responders also.

Breaking news now.
We are just getting an update.

The bomb is now reported
to have been inside an SUV.

A black SUV parked just
blocks from 26 Federal Plaza.

Now, it is un...

Agent Rossi? We heard there
was some kind of explosion.

- Where are you?
- We got this.

I just walked into the
CCTV command post.

Can you see anything?

I literally just walked
through the door, sir.

We got on the news it was
an SUV that exploded.

A black SUV within blocks
of the Federal Plaza.

Oh, God.

Now, do you have eyes there?

I, uh... yeah, yeah,

I've got like 300 cameras
right there. Give me a sec.

I'm here with Reid, but I don't
know where anyone else is.

- And, Garcia...
- Yes, sir.

Find them.

OK.

Lisa, I need every
feed of every camera

for 20 blocks concentrically
out from the Federal Plaza.

Get this explosion from
every angle you can

- and then back those feeds up.
- You got it.

I'm gonna call the rest of my team.

Yeah. I'm still here.

Yes, you are. Thank God.

I'm almost back at
the federal building.

What the hell's going on?

All right, we're going over

the closed circuit
footage right now.

Who else have you checked on?

You're the first.
Rossi and Reid called me.

All right, well, keep me on the line
while you check on everyone else.

Is everyone OK?

I've spoken to Rossi and Reid
and Morgan's on the line.

Emily, where are you?

I'm following Detective
Brustin to one of the NYPD's

Critical Incident command posts.

- One of them?
- Yeah, after 911 they decentralized.

They had way too many eggs
in one basket on that day.

Has anyone talked to JJ?

She was headed back to the hotel.

In an SUV?

I think so.

Stay with me a minute.
I'll dial her mobile.

This is Agent Jareau, Communications
Director for the FBI's Behavioral...

What was that? What happened?

It went dead mid-message.

Try here again.
She's probably back at...

Emily?

Derek.

Derek?

I just lost all
contact with my team.

I found it.

I've never not been able to...

- Garcia.
- What?

I found the explosion.

Move to Marshaling Area Echo.

There should be a
team Captain there.

Please report to your team
Captain and identify yourself.

Move to Marshaling Area Echo.
There should be a team Captain there...

Shelly! Do you know what happened?

Only that there was
an explosion nearby.

We had to evacuate this building.

They're anticipating a second wave.

Have you seen Hotch or Kate?

No. I was hoping you did.

Have you seen any of my team?

Sorry, I...

All right, well,
we must be setting up

a Critical Incident
Command Center, right?

Uh... 700 hudson, South of
Laight in the Tribeca district.

OK. You see any of my team,
that's where I'll be.

OK. Move to Marshaling Area Echo.

There should be a
team Captain there.

Oh, my God!

They weren't inside.

They... weren't inside.

Right. Play it again. Right now.

Ooh!

Move this camera.

I have to see where they ended...
where... where they are now.

This isn't live, Penelope.

Right. Um...

Get me another angle. We have to see
what happened to Hotch and Kate.

Wait!

What are you doing?

We're going further back.

That explosion looked like
it came from under the SUV,

not inside it, so I'm gonna guess

that bomb wasn't there,
when it was parked.

That's him.

The bomber.

Uh, get me another angle,
at timecode 12:06:06.

Got him.

He stopped.

Sam, you need to get
out of the area.

I just want to help.

If you want to help,
get somebody down here.

Kate, I need you to wake up.

Stay with me.

Stay with me.

I feel cold.

What?

It's such a cliche, isn't it?

I feel cold.

Like in the cinema.

You've lost a lot of blood,
but I think I've got it stopped.

Wait. That's not right.
It's movies.

Um, you say movies, not cinema.

Shh. Just try to relax.

Why... why would you have
a different word for...

All right, if they
can't get down here,

I'm gonna try to
lift you and just...

They just told me to get
behind the barricade.

OK, here, I'm gonna
try to lift her.

All right, on 3. 1, 2, 3.

No, I lost it. I lost my grip.

All right, I need to find it again.

Need to find it.
Kate, stay with me.

She's bleeding. She's bleeding!

I think I've got it.
I think I got it.

She's not gonna die, is she?

Kate, stay with us, please.

We're here! Please!

Please! We're here!

Someone!

Hey! Hey!

Who's in charge here?

Captain Warner.

OK, OK, let's get this area
cleared as soon as possible.

Captain Warner...
we got people down there.

Captain Warner,
I'm Agent Morgan, FBI.

I'm looking for Agent Hotchner,

Aaron Hotchner.

Go back to the federal building.

There are EVAC marshaling spots.

Check in to make sure
they know where you are.

I am not about to do that.

Get out of my face

or I'll have you
bodily removed, Agent.

Please, we're here!

Hotch.

Hey! The area's restricted.

That's my boss down there.

My orders are what they are.

I don't give a damn
what your orders are.

I get it, Agent.

But we've been told by you
responders are the targets.

So till the blast site is cleared,
no one goes in.

You're Marine Corps, right?

Right?

Please, go back to
the marshaling point.

I'm not doing it.

I'm not just gonna let my man
lay down there like that.

Help us! Damn it, we're here!

Never leave a man behind.

You do remember that, don't you?

We're here! Please!

OK.

Hotch!

Hotch!

Fast-forward it.

He watched.

That son of a bitch watched.

Get me another timecode.

12:29:13.

Oh, my God, that's the unsub.

And he's walking right up to Hotch.

Hotch.

Morgan, we've got to
get her out of here.

They're not letting any ambulances
down here till they clear the scene.

Kid, you gotta get behind
the barricades. Let's go.

Go!

Go, Sam.

Good luck.

Talk to me.

Can we carry her?

Hotch, can we carry her?

No, I tried. Morgan,
she's gonna bleed to death,

if we don't get her out of here.

We gotta do something.

Please have service.
Please have service.

Please have service.
Please have service.

Garcia, I got Hotch.

But listen to me. You gotta get
somebody down here right away,

you hear me? Right now.

What?

You're absolutely sure?

Hotch.

The kid.

He's the bomber.

Go.

Hey!

She's got an arterial
bleed in her back

and I'm doing my best
to hold it closed.

You OK?

I just want to get her out of here.

Her pulse is weak and thready.

I'm gonna need your help, OK?

Is the area clear?

You were calling for help and
I couldn't listen anymore.

My partner was too afraid
to come in here with me.

Kate, we're gonna
get you out of here.

We're on our way out of here.

These are stills from
all the murder sites.

Garcia had us on conference
and the system crashed.

- Emily.
- Oh, thank God you're all right.

- Where's Will?
- He's stuck at the airport.

As soon as I heard,
I went straight to 26 Fed.

They're evacuating the building.

Where is everyone?

Morgan's all right,
but there's no word from Hotch.

The bomber! The bomber!

- What?
- Derek's chasing after him.

The bomb... it was in
Kate's SUV, or under it.

Hotch is out there with her.

He seems OK, but she looks really hurt.
He hasn't moved her.

Where was Kate's SUV parked?

2 blocks East of Federal Plaza.

2 blocks East and they
target Kate's SUV?

Have you ID'd the bomber?

Lisa's running him and
dead guy through VICAP.

Call Homeland Security.

They should be at all the murder sites.
See if they found anything.

I'm on it.

Garcia, find out how
we can help Morgan.

Yes, sir.

This is an emergency notification.

All train services are
suspended until further notice.

Please remain calm
and exit the station.

Hey! Oh, my God!

Out of my way! Move! Move!

Where did he go? Where?!

This is an emergency notification.

All train services will be
suspended until further notice.

Please remain calm
and exit the station.

Show your face, you son of a bitch!

I know you're in here, kid!

Show me your face, you coward!

You got nowhere to run, man.

You hear me? There's
nothing down here for you.

Is that all you see?

Huh? Darkness?

You listen to me,
you son of a bitch.

You get your ass off those tracks

and you put your hands on
top of your head. Do it now.

Do it now!

You will lose in the end.

Shut up. Shut your mouth.

You want to know why?

Because you fear what we embrace.

Get off the...no! No, no, no!

Ohh!

On 3... 1, 2, 3.

Got her.

OK.

OK, I'm gonna clamp that artery.

When I say move, move your hand

and get as far out
of my way as you can.

- You got it?
- Yep.

OK, move.

OK. I need to get a bag in

and start getting her pressure up.

Get the gurney from the bus.

Yes, yes, I understand.

Thank you.

Homeland Security has
poured tactical teams

into all of those locations.

Uh, SWAT, bomb techs,
HRT, HAZMAT, the works.

They found nothing.

Reid.

All except one.

Kate's SUV... none of the
shootings were anywhere near it.

Maybe it's personal.

This death card they gave us...

They delivered on it.

That's just it... they haven't.

With a cell as large as this one

and multiple targets
to choose from,

they target a single SUV?

Where's the closest emergency room?

- St. Barclay's.
- Where?

St. Barclay's.

And where is it?

It's 4 blocks uptown,
one block East.

Where's the emergency entrance?

Under the hospital.

Just follow the signs to the ER.

OK.

Hey, look who's back.

Hello.

Is she awake?

Is that Aaron?

Are you Aaron?

Yeah.

Kate, we made it.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Thank your partner. He did it all.

What's this?

Secret Service.

We're directing all emergencies
over to Lenox Hill.

I'm SSA Hotchner.
I have SSA Joyner on board.

She was injured in the bomb
blast at Federal Plaza.

Credentials.

They're in my jacket
at Federal Plaza.

I appreciate that, agent,
but this hospital is on a strict bypass.

What is... what's that?

It means the hospital is closed.

We're redirecting all
emergencies to Lenox Hill.

She's not gonna make
it to Lenox Hill.

I'm losing her!

She's crashing!

She's crashing!

- I'm losing her.
- Please.

Open it up.

This is Delta 2.
I need immediate ER attendants.

What do you got?

BP 50 over 30,

She's bradycardic,
with severe spinal injury.

Get her in the bag.
Get in the crash cart.

OK, can I get some help in here?

Let's get him on a gurney.

Morgan's safe.

Good. Thank God.

This is the unsub Morgan
chased into the subway.

This is the one Prentiss shot.

Garcia's running
them through VICAP.

These are smart,
well-educated kids,

hand-picked and
trained to be martyrs.

They're not gonna be
in any government file

and they won't have rap sheets.

Hotch and Kate are at
St. Barclay's Hospital.

How are they?

Well, Hotch is in the ER,
Kate's in surgery.

Morgan's on his way down there now.

The media's reporting this

as a failed attack
on 26 Federal Plaza.

Well, it's not.

They're not the only ones.
Homeland Security feels the same way.

They're wrong. They found
nothing at any of the sites

that you told them that
these guys were targeting.

Maybe this thing is over.

Or maybe that's exactly
what they want us to think.

As soon as the bomb techs identify
the device, I want to know about it.

Of course.

Can you get in tighter
on the bomber?

There, in his hand.

He's using his cell phone.

Joyner and Hotch approach the van.

Why not wait until
they both get in?

Guess he figured he
was close enough.

Wouldn't you wait
until they were in it?

So far, these guys have
accomplished nothing.

Nothing?

My partner was shot... Cooper?

8 innocent people were killed.

2 agents blown up.

Not to mention Emily's
suicide by cop.

Is that not enough?

That was memorable.

This isn't.

Doc. FBI.

How's Aaron Hotchner?

He's got acute acoustic trauma,
in his right ear,

and I pulled shrapnel from his leg.

Just lay down. Sir!

Agent Hotchner, lie down.

- Doctor, I'm all right.
- Hotch, stop it.

Just calm down. Doc, I got it, OK?

Morgan, where's Kate?

She's in surgery.

Where are my clothes, please?

Hotch, your go bag

is on its way.

Has anything happened
since the first blast?

Nothing.

Sam?

He's dead.

Morgan, the profile's wrong.

Everything... everything
they've done so far

has appeared to be
something it's not.

I don't follow.

The seemingly random
acts of murder,

the attempt to hack into

our security surveillance systems.

The suicide by cop to make us
all believe that it was over.

Don't forget the death card telling
us they know we're watching.

All diversions.

To ensure our attention and
analysis of any given situation

would then incorrectly
inform our profile.

So the first responders
were not the real targets?

Hotch and Kate were
a diversion, too?

From what?

Morgan. Hotch wants you
guys over there now.

What do we tell Homeland Security?

Tell them, if they love
this city as much as you do

to keep it locked down.
It's about to get hit.

Are you OK?

Yeah. I just want to understand

why I'm still alive.

I think the idea was to maim,
not to kill.

Did you identify Sam, the bomber?

Garcia put Sam and
the other dead unsub

into every known database. Nothing.

We know how terror cells evolve.

They learn from one
campaign to the next.

How to stay off radar,
like the London bombers.

Yeah, but they, uh,
they hit at 8:50 in the morning

with a series of coordinated blasts

aimed at London's
transportation system,

and this cell targeted a lone SUV,

where the only people on the
street are 2 federal agents.

It's not multiple targets,
it's one target.

One target, one bomb.

Garcia said the device was
placed under Kate's SUV.

It was likely made
using oxydizing agents,

including chromates, peroxides,
perchlorates, chlorates, and red mercury,

all jammed into a device no
larger than a cell phone.

Imagine what a bomb the size
of an oil drum could do.

Yeah, but to make something that big,
you'd need a chemical engineer.

Like the recently deceased
Dr. Azahari Husin,

Asia's most-wanted bomb-maker?

Authorities dubbed him the,
uh, Demolition Man.

He treated each bomb
like a work of art.

One wrong move...

He becomes a victim
of his own creation.

He'll be more revered than
all of the people who died

as a result of his devices.

Stop the bomber, stop the bomb.

To do that, we need to know how they
would deploy something that big.

Hotch.

Did you ever find Sam's cell phone?

- Yes.
- Did he call 911?

No. He dialed one number,
6 times, every few minutes.

It was a disposable cell.

Garcia tracked the number,
but it went dead, minutes after Sam died.

Whoever had it destroyed it.

Well, if he didn't have a
secondary device to detonate,

there's only one reason
that he stayed with us.

To make sure the
ambulance got to you.

And in a city on lockdown,

an ambulance with its siren
blaring and lights on,

it's gonna make it
through every roadblock,

virtually uncontested.

This hospital is
on a strict bypass.

What is... what's that?

It means the hospital is closed.

And straight into a hospital
with a bypass order on it.

What?

Secret Service has a
bypass on this hospital.

Secret Service?
Who are they protecting?

That's who Sam was calling,

the paramedic on the ambulance.

The ambulance which
I drove in here.

This hospital is their target.

Let's go.

Hey. Who you got in here?

Why is that information
important to you?

The ambulance I drove in here...
where is it now?

- In the basement. Why?
- There's a bomb in it.

- What?
- It's rigged.

It's rigged to assassinate
whoever it is you're protecting.

You need to get them, and everyone else,
out of here, right now.

We can't do that. He's
undergoing surgery, as we speak.

The paramedic I came in with...
do you have eyes on him?

That a cell in his hands?

Garcia, can you remote access
the cell phone grid I'm in

and jam all the frequencies?

Yeah, I can, but only for
a short period of time.

There's a bomb in the
basement of this building.

I'm on it.

OK, we need to access

and pinpoint the 3 closest
cell towers to the location

and then disrupt the
satellite feeds to them

and we need to do it fast.
Here we go.

Look, he's coming back.

He's going to detonate the
bomb manually, if he has to.

- Where did Morgan go?
- He went to find the ambulance.

- Alone?
- Let's head down.

Call Air Charlie One.
Move Echo One to the roof,

as soon as he's out of surgery.

Air-Vac him out of here.

The rest of us,
we'll take the elevators.

Morgan?

Yeah, baby.

You sound stressed.

Do I?

Where are you?

Not where I want to be right now.

Garcia, take this down for me.

FDNY 108.

- That's an ambulance.
- Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just track it for me.

He's going to the basement.

Stairs.

Oh, my God.

Garcia, how long can you keep
jamming the cell phone lines?

Uh, a few minutes, max.

Why?

'Cause I'm gonna have to get
this ambulance out of here.

Or you could just evacuate the building,
like everybody else.

No. As soon as the airways are clear,
this thing's going up.

Going up? Oh, my God,
that's like 3 minutes,

'cause that's when the
satellite moves position.

Come on.

Garcia, listen to me.

I need you to find an area of
town I can drive this thing,

and you tell everybody, you hear me,
everybody, that I'm coming.

Come on, babe.

Do it! Go!

All right, talk to me, Garcia.

OK. Head North...

and floor it.
I'll tell you where to turn.

What was that?

It was nothing. Just talk to me!

No! No! Nooo!

Aah!

Noooo!

Prentiss.

How am I doing, Garcia?

How's he doing? One minute,
50 seconds.

Why does it always have to be you?

Why do you always have to do this?

Come on. Come on!

Derek, you don't have much time.
Please be smart about this.

Signal's coming back online.

30 seconds to full coverage.

Derek, drive to the opening
and then get the hell out.

There's something I really
want you to know, Garcia.

20 seconds.

Save it. Just get out.

No, no, no,
I'm not quite there yet.

- 10...
- Morgan...

- 9...8...
- Just listen to me.

- Morgan, please.
- You know what you are, Garcia?

Morgan! We just lost tracking.

Derek?

FBI.

Put it down. It's over.

Garcia...

I'll tell you what you are to me.

You're my God-given solace.

Woman, you promise me one thing...

whatever happens...

don't you ever stop talking to me.

I can't right now,
'cause I'm mad at you.

I can wait.

What's happening?

Where's the surgeon?

We did all that we could.

I'm so sorry.

I'm telling you,
we're gonna get caught.

Come on, kid, we're cops.

Smoking in a hospital
is a federal offense.

You're on your own, kid.

I see the wife and
kids came for a visit.

Mm-hmm.

Have you told them you
started smoking again?

Give me a break.

I just got shot.

Now, I'm standing in front
of a beautiful woman

in this ridiculous
garb with a... an IV

and a catheter connected
to my... skididdibup.

Could've told me you were coming.

Yeah, I wasn't going to and I...

I thought I'd drop in...

Oh.

I'm on my way to the airport, now.

Yeah.

Um...

Sorry to hear about Agent Joyner.

And Hotchner... is he OK?

Uh, he can't fly for a little bit.
His ears are...

but he's gonna be fine.

Um, so... OK,
I brought this for you.

For you and your family.

I'm told they are great seats.

You didn't have to.

I know. I wanted to.

Could just as easily have been me.

Well...

I'm glad it wasn't.

Got a plane to catch, so...

Take care, Cooper.

Oh, whoa. Whoa.

Mets tickets?

Most people assume
I'm a Yankees fan.

I'm not most people.

Nope.

No, that girl is not.

Thanks.

Hey. Uh-uh-uh-uh.

Got it.

I'm your ride.

I thought Agent Davis
was driving me.

She was. I had her reassigned.

Don't you have
something better to do?

Than to annoy you for
3 hours? Hell, no.

Give me the keys.

Not a chance, Hotch.

Let's go.

So, did we ever find out who the
Secret Service had in the hospital?

Does it matter?

No, I guess it doesn't.

Quantico's requested you transfer
to run the New York office.

Hotch, they haven't
even buried her yet.

We're at war. Things change.

Don't I need your recommendation?

You didn't give it, did you?

Your actions, as incredibly
brave as they were...

would still be actions of an agent

who doesn't truly trust anyone.

Hotch, I did it for this team.

My opinion doesn't matter.

Job's yours if you want it.

Hotch.

Your opinion matters to me.

My life matters to me,

and I have, and always will,
entrust you with it.

Would you do the same for me?

Still want to drive?
