[LAUGHING]

2.

THANK YOU.

ENJOY THE SHOW, YOU GUYS.



THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

ENJOY THE SHOW.

AH, DON'T WORRY,
IT'S NOT THAT SCARY.

THAT'S LAME.

I--I MEAN IT'S--
IT'S KIND OF SCARY,

BUT, UH, MOSTLY FUNNY,
YOU KNOW?

HOW FUNNY?

WELL, IT'S...HEH.

JUST DON'T SPILL IT, JESSE.

JESSE...

[LAUGHTER]

WHERE DO YOU WANT?

IT DOESN'T MATTER
TO ME.

THERE?



NO, THAT'S TOO CLOSE.

THOUGHT IT DIDN'T MATTER.

WELL, JUST NOT TOO CLOSE.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
FALL ASLEEP ANYHOW.

[LAUGHING]

[THE BLOB THEME MUSIC PLAYS]

SOMEBODY LET US OUT!

THIS IS NEWS FOOTAGE
FROM A MOVIE THEATER

IN ROYAL, INDIANA,
POPULATION 2,000.

EARLIER TONIGHT
19 PEOPLE WERE KILLED.

AND THEY'RE SURE
IT'S ARSON?

YEAH. 2 DAYS AGO
THE SAME THING HAPPENED
AT THE LOCAL RECREATION CENTER.

12 VICTIMS, NO SURVIVORS.

I HEARD ABOUT THAT.
Morgan: YEAH, IT WAS
ALL OVER THE NEWS.

THERE WERE SOME DETAILS
THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE NEWS.

A WEEK AND A HALF EARLIER
THERE WERE SOME FIRES
AT A CONVENIENCE STORE,

A LOCAL RESTAURANT.
LUCKILY, IT WAS AFTER HOURS
AND NO ONE WAS HURT.

SO WHOEVER SET THESE
WENT FROM NO VICTIMS
TO 31 IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS.

THAT'S A HELL OF
AN ESCALATION.

WHY DIDN'T THEY
CALL US IN SOONER?

THE LOCAL POLICE
AND FIRE DEPARTMENT

KNEW THEY WERE DEALING
WITH AN ARSONIST,

BUT THEY HAD NO IDEA
HE'D BECOME A KILLER.

MOST ARSONISTS DON'T.

THEY JUST LIKE SETTING FIRES.

ANY DEATHS THAT OCCUR
ARE ALMOST ALWAYS ACCIDENTAL.

31 VICTIMS
IS NOT AN ACCIDENT.

THE POLICE CHIEF KNOWS
HE MADE A MISTAKE.

AND HE LEARNED THE HARD WAY
THAT EVEN THOUGH NOT ALL
ARSONISTS ARE KILLERS,

THEY DO HAVE ONE THING
IN COMMON--

ONCE THEY START,
THEY CAN'T STOP.

Hotch: TENNESSEE WILLIAMS SAID,

"WE ALL LIVE
IN A HOUSE ON FIRE.

NO FIRE DEPARTMENT TO CALL,
NO WAY OUT."

BASED ON THE LIMITED
POPULATION OF ROYAL,

THE UNSUB IS MOST LIKELY
A LOCAL MALE

BETWEEN THE AGES
OF 17 AND 30.

WHAT, ARSON IS
A SEXIST INDUSTRY?

FOR THE MOST PART, YEAH.

ONLY 12% OF ARSONISTS
ARE FEMALE.

APPARENTLY WOMEN
JUST AREN'T INCLINED
TO BURN THINGS.

LET'S GO WITH THE NUMBERS.
FOCUS ON MALES.

WELL, WE CAN
SCRATCH HERO COMPLEX
OFF THE LIST.

HE HASN'T LEFT
ANYONE TO SAVE.

YEAH, BUT WE CAN'T RULE OUT
FIREFIGHTERS AND OTHER
FIRST RESPONDERS.

HOW'S ABOUT I DO A BACKGROUND
CHECK ON ALL LOCAL
FIREFIGHTERS AND EMTs?

AND FLAG ANYONE
WITH A HISTORY

OF BEING FIRST ON THE SCENE.

OR ANYONE WITH
A JUVENILE RECORD

THAT INCLUDES VANDALISM
OR SMALL NUISANCE FIRES.

I WILL LOOK AT EVERYTHING
FROM FIREBUG TO FLAMETHROWER.

DID YOU CHECK OUT
THE NEWS FOOTAGE?

I WANT THE WORD OUT
THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE

ANY PERSONAL VIDEOS
OR PHOTOS OF THE FIRE.

ARSONISTS LIKE TO WATCH,
AND IF OUR UNSUB STUCK AROUND,

MAYBE SOMEBODY
WILL RECOGNIZE HIM.
I'M ON IT.

LOCALS FIND ANYTHING
IN THEIR CALL LOGS

THAT RESEMBLE
THE UNSUB'S M.O.?

I MEAN, HE MAY HAVE
STAGED PRACTICE RUNS.

ACCORDING TO
THE FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT

THERE WAS NOTHING SIMILAR
IN THE PAST YEAR.

GARCIA, EXTEND
YOUR SEARCH STATEWIDE.

THE UNSUB MAY HAVE
DONE HIS PRACTICING

FAR ENOUGH AWAY SO AS
NOT TO AROUSE SUSPICION.

THANK YOU.
I WILL CAST
A WIDE NET, SIR.

I GREW UP
IN A SMALL TOWN.
PEOPLE ARE GONNA ASSUME

ANYONE WE QUESTION
IS GUILTY.

THE LAST THING WE WANT
IS FOR THIS TO TURN INTO
A WITCH HUNT.

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS.
WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO

KEEP THE LOCALS FROM
REALIZING IT.

GARCIA, I WANT YOU TO FIND OUT
EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN

ABOUT THE 31 VICTIMS,
AND I DON'T MEAN
JUST THEIR PAPER TRAIL.

I NEED TO KNOW EVERYONE
RELATED TO THEM,

EVERYBODY THEY OWED MONEY TO,

EVERYBODY THEY HAD
AN ARGUMENT WITH.

SIR, IF I'M
HEARING YOU RIGHT,

YOU'RE SAYING
I'M THE WITCH HUNTER.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.

CHIEF CARLSON,

AGENT JAREAU,
THIS IS AGENT HOTCHNER.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE
CALLED YOU IN EARLIER.

SO...ANYTHING YOU NEED,
ANYTHING AT ALL, YOU GOT IT.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED
MOST IS YOUR HELP.

IT'S A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY,
AND IT'S GONNA TAKE

EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER
TO PREVENT ANOTHER ONE.

YOU THINK HE'S GONNA
TRY TO DO IT AGAIN?

WE KNOW HE WILL.

AND WITH HIS ESCALATING
TIMELINE,

IT'S GONNA BE SOON.

WE, UH...

WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
ROOM IN THE HOSPITAL

FOR EVERYONE.

THIS--THIS WAY, PLEASE.

DOC RAWLINGS.

YOU'RE THE FBI AGENTS.

WELL, THANK GOD
CARLSON CALLED YOU.

I'M AGENT HOTCHNER,
THIS IS AGENT JAREAU.

[BABY CRIES]

THAT'S MARY ELISE.
SHE LOST HER HUSBAND.

THAT'S ALICE STARRETT
WITH CHIEF CARLSON.

HER PARENTS WERE BOTH
AT THE MOVIE THEATER.

MIKE--HIS OLDEST SON
AND HIS GIRLFRIEND WERE THERE.

SO WAS MY NEPHEW.

EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM
LOST SOMEBODY.

WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT IT,
I JUST CAME RIGHT HERE.

I HAD MY NURSES BRING
EQUIPMENT, SET UP TRIAGE.

NOBODY NEEDED IT.
THEY WERE--

THEY WERE ALL DEAD.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

I WISH I COULD TELL YOU
THIS IS THE WORST OF IT,
BUT I CAN'T.

WHEN HE STRIKES AGAIN,
HE'S GONNA BE AIMING
FOR EVEN MORE VICTIMS.

MY GOD.

YOU NEED TO SEND
EVERYBODY HOME.

LARGE GATHERINGS LIKE THIS
ARE A BAD IDEA.

ALL RIGHT.
DR. RAWLINGS.

WHEN I SPOKE
TO THE POLICE CHIEF,

HE SAID THAT YOU KNOW
EVERYONE IN ROYAL.

WELL, PRETTY MUCH.
I GREW UP HERE.

I INHERITED
MY FATHER'S PRACTICE.

I DELIVERED 11 OF THOSE PEOPLE
LYING IN THERE.

THERE IS A STRONG
PROBABILITY THAT
THE KILLER IS LOCAL.

YOU THINK SOMEBODY
FROM ROYAL DID THIS?

IT'S USUALLY THE CASE.

WE WANT TO HANDLE
THIS INVESTIGATION
AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE,

WITHOUT
POINTING FINGERS.

WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU
TO DECIDE IS WHAT'S
MORE IMPORTANT,

PEOPLE'S PRIVACY
OR THEIR SAFETY?

MOST OF THE VICTIMS DIED
OF SMOKE INHALATION,
THANK GOD.

A FEW OF THEM
WERE TRAMPLED.

MY COUSIN GARY
AND HIS WIFE LINDA.

IF YOU NEED SOME TIME...

WE'RE TALKING
GASOLINE AND MATCHES.

AND THIS WAS
THE POINT OF ORIGIN.

Prentiss: THE SECOND ONE
WAS IN THE LOBBY?

THIS ONE
BURNED THE LONGEST.

SLOWER, TOO.

LESS OXYGEN, LESS FUEL.

HE USED A LOT MORE GAS
IN THE LOBBY.

THE PLACE WENT UP
LIKE A HAYSTACK.

WHAT ABOUT THE SPRINKLERS?

BASTARD TURNED OFF
THE MAIN WATER LINE.

YOU KNOW, THE UNSUB COULD
HAVE SET THIS FIRE FIRST.

LOBBY BURNED HARDER
AND FASTER,

FORCING THE VICTIMS
OUT THIS WAY,

WHERE HE'D ALREADY
BLOCKED THE EXIT.

AND WHERE THE SMOKE
FROM THE SLOWER-BURNING FIRE
HAD ALREADY BUILT UP.

AND WHOEVER DID DO THIS
KNEW THAT EVEN IF
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

GOT HERE IN TIME
TO STOP THE FIRES...

CATHY!

THEY STILL WOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO SAVE THEM.

ME AND DANIEL
ARE BOTH VOLUNTEERS.

THE WHOLE COMPANY IS.

GOT ABOUT 20 FIREFIGHTERS,

PLUS OUR OWN LADDER TRUCK
AND PUMPER.

AN EMT RUNS
A 2-PERSON CREW 24/7.

WE MANAGED TO GET
IT OUT PRETTY FAST.

NOT FAST ENOUGH.

ALL THOSE PEOPLE.

WHO WOULD HAVE
SO MUCH HATE?

SOMEONE WHOSE RAGE
HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR YEARS.

BUT WHAT HE DID, I...

THE UNSUB KNEW EXACTLY
WHAT HE WAS DOING.

HE'S BEEN PRACTICING
FOR A LONG TIME.

NUISANCE FIRES, VANDALISM.

HE MAY HAVE EVEN
BURNED HIMSELF.

WELL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE
EVERY TEENAGE BOY
WHO'S EVER GROWN UP IN ROYAL.

I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU NOTICED,

BUT THERE'S REALLY
NOT A LOT TO DO HERE.

YOU HAVE OUR REPORTS.
ALL THE RECORDS
ARE IN THERE.

MAYBE SO,

BUT WE ALL KNOW
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THINGS...

DON'T GET REPORTED.

TIMES WHEN YOU'RE...

JUST TRYING TO PROTECT SOMEONE,

JUST TRYING TO, UM,

MAKE THE SITUATION GO AWAY.

WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO HELP PEOPLE OUT.

SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY
TO DO THAT IS TO FORGET

THAT IT EVER HAPPENED.

WE'RE GONNA NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT THOSE TIMES.

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH
EVERY PIECE OF FOOTAGE
I COULD FIND.

NO ONE STICKS OUT
AT THE FIRES.

NO ONE APPEARS TO BE
INAPPROPRIATELY
VOYEURISTIC.

NO ONE WITH BANDAGES.

YEAH.
Hotch: GARCIA?

NO FIREBUG FIREFIGHTER,
NO FLAMMABLE JUVEY RECORDS,

HOWEVER, OF THE 128
REPORTED INSTANCES

OF PETTY LARCENY
AND VANDALISM
IN THE LAST YEAR,

THERE ARE A FEW NAMES
THAT SORT OF STICK OUT,

SO I'M EMAILING YOU
THOSE PHOTOS.

I ALSO HAVE A PATTERN
OF SMALL GASOLINE FIRES
ABOUT 300 MILES AWAY.

A TOWN CALLED FRANKLIN.

GOT A, UH, TRASH CAN FIRE,
A CHRISTMAS TREE,

AND AN ABANDONED SHED.
AND I SENT YOU THAT FILE.

GIVEN THE 500-MILE
SEARCH RADIUS,

THERE'S BOUND TO BE
A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE
OF NUISANCE FIRES.

WE CAN'T NECESSARILY
ATTRIBUTE THAT TO OUR UNSUB.

THAT'S TRUE, BUT ONLY 7%
OF ARSONISTS USE WOODEN MATCHES

WITH A GASOLINE ACCELERANT--

OUR UNSUB AND THIS GUY.
NICE WORK, GARCIA.

Hotch:
WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS?

WELL, GIVEN THAT I'VE
HAD LESS THAN 8 HOURS,
I CAN'T REALLY--

I APPRECIATE
THE TIME CONSTRAINT.
WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND?

UH, A MIXTURE OF AGES
AND GENDERS.

MOSTLY LOCAL.

A COUSIN VISITING
FROM A NEARBY TOWN.

IS THERE ANY CROSSOVER
BETWEEN THE VICTIMS
AND THE 2 TOWNS, GARCIA?

HEY, IT'S A LITTLE
TEENY TINY TOWN.

THERE'S NOTHING
BUT CROSSOVER. UM...

ALEX NAGEL--HE WAS KILLED
IN THE REC CENTER.

NOW, NOT ONLY WAS NAGEL
AN UPSTANDING MEMBER
OF THE LOCAL CHURCH,

HE ALSO OWNED QUITE A BIT
OF REAL ESTATE IN ROYAL,

INCLUDING THE MOVIE THEATER.

WINDY KENNEDY WAS KILLED
AT THE MOVIE THEATER.

SHE WAS A SINGLE MOM.
SHE WORKED A DOUBLE SHIFT
AT THE LOCAL DISCOUNT STORE.

AND SHE STILL MANAGED
TO FIND TIME TO VOLUNTEER
AT THE REC CENTER.

I ALSO HAVE A THIRD-GRADE
TEACHER, THIRD COUSINS,

AND AT LEAST
3 POTENTIAL AFFAIRS.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO START
WEEDING OUT SOME OF THESE,
GARCIA.

THIRD COUSINS
AND RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS

ARE PROBABLY NOT GONNA HELP US.

I NEED TO KNOW
WHO HAD ENEMIES,

WHO HAD SECRETS,
WHO WAS A TARGET.

OH, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR,

MY BRAIN MUSCLES ARE COMFORTABLE
WITH BEING INTUITIVE
WITH INFORMATION,

NOT PEOPLE. LOOKING
AT PEOPLE LIKE THAT

IS NOT PART
OF MY JOB DESCRIPTION.

I'M NOT A PROFILER.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO BE.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

YOU TWO LOOK INTO
THE NUISANCE FIRES.

GARCIA, STAY ON THE RADIO.

"YEA, THOUGH I WALK
THROUGH THE VALLEY

"OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL,

FOR THOU ART WITH ME."

YOU SAID LARGE GATHERINGS
AREN'T A GOOD IDEA,

IS NOT A TARGET.
BUT THIS SERVICE...

THE UNSUB WOULDN'T WANT
TO INTERRUPT

THE GRIEF HE CREATED.

BUT HE MAY WANT
TO WATCH IT.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
FOR THE SITUATION.

TOO MUCH EMOTION,
TOO LITTLE EMOTION.

SOMEONE WHO KEEPS TO
HIMSELF.

WATCHING OTHERS' REACTIONS.

SOMEONE WHO INSINUATES
HIMSELF TOO CLOSELY

INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S GRIEF.

WE'RE FOCUSING ON
KNOWN OFFENDERS

WITH A PROPENSITY
FOR ARSON.

Garcia: BRIAN MILLER,
18 YEARS OLD,

AND HE'S BEEN VANDALIZING
PROPERTY FOR ALMOST ALL
18 OF THEM.

Minister:
"....STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME..."

Garcia: JOHN CLAYTON, 27.

HE SET FIRE TO HIS
NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE,

CLAIMED IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,
BUT HE FILED A COMPLAINT
THE PREVIOUS MONTH

THAT THE NEIGHBOR
KILLED HIS DOG.

"THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD
WITH OIL..."

"MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.

"SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY

"SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE...

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD FOREVER."

YEAH, JJ.

[SIRENS]

[MURMURING]

PEOPLE, PLEASE.

CALM DOWN.

I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING.

[SIRENS CONTINUE]

THANKS.

HE'S NOT HERE.

ARE YOU SURE?

[SIRENS]

THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
AT THE MEMORIAL.

HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO RESIST SEEING
THE DAMAGE HE'D DONE.

CAPTAIN.

HEY, CAPTAIN.

CAN I GET A WORD?

IT STARTED
IN THE KITCHEN.

LOOKS LIKE HE CAME
AROUND TO THE BACK

AND TOSSED A COCKTAIL
THROUGH THE WINDOW.

DIFFERENT DELIVERY SYSTEM.

THAT'S A BIG DEVIANCE
FROM HIS M.O.

BUT PERFECT
FOR THIS LOCATION.

I DON'T KNOW, THOUGH.
WITH A SPACE THIS SMALL

HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO POUR THE GASOLINE
WITHOUT BEING NOTICED.

NOBODY SAW A THING?

WITNESSES SAY THEY
HEARD AN EXPLOSION.

WELL, I GUARANTEE
HE STUCK AROUND TO WATCH.

[FLAMES ROARING]

BOOM.

THE BAR MATCHES
HIS PREVIOUS LOCATIONS.

IT'S ANOTHER LOCAL HOT SPOT.

ONLY 5 VICTIMS THIS TIME.

WHY LOWER THE BODY COUNT?

ROSSI.

THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
THAT'S DIFFERENT.

THE FRONT AND BACK?

HE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE
NOBODY GOT OUT THIS TIME.

BUT WHY BOTHER?
NO ONE MADE IT OUT
OF THE OTHER ONES.

MAYBE HE KNEW THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT WOULD SHOW UP SOONER.

YEAH, WE'RE FASTER NOW.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

WHAT THE HELL DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?

AND WHAT GOOD
ARE YOU GUYS DOING US?

YOU SEE CHAINS, FIGURE
HE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE
TO GET OUT.

I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT.

WE'RE NOT CRITICIZING ANYONE.

OUR JOB IS TO LOOK AT
THE SAME THINGS YOU DO

BUT TO TRY TO SEE THEM
FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

SURE.

LOOK, ALL DUE RESPECT,
CAPTAIN,

BUT YOU LOOK AT THAT CHAIN
AND YOU SAY THE KILLER

WANTED TO MAKE SURE
NOBODY GOT OUT, RIGHT?

WE LOOK AT THAT CHAIN
AND WE SEE A LITTLE MORE.

THAT CHAIN IS DIFFERENT
THAN THE FIRST TWO FIRES.

NOW, EITHER WE'RE LOOKING
AT AN ENTIRELY NEW ARSONIST

OR THIS UNSUB WANTED
TO MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN
THAT NOBODY GOT OUT.

NOW, IF THIS IS TRUE,
THAT MEANS SOMETHING CHANGED.

MAYBE HIS EMOTIONS CHANGED.
MAYBE HIS AGENDA,

BUT SOMETHING.

SEE, THIS CHAIN TELLS US

THIS IS THE FIRE
THAT MATTERS.

THIS FIRE IS GONNA HELP US
CATCH THIS GUY.

MY FATHER WAS CHIEF HERE
FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

LAST 2 WEEKS I LOST
MORE FOLKS THAT HE DID
IN HIS WHOLE CAREER.

Man:
AGENT PRENTISS?

SORRY.

CHIEF, WHAT DO WE KNOW?

4 DEAD. THE BARTENDER NANCY
IS STILL HANGING ON.

HOW BAD IS SHE?

PRETTY BAD.
SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS

WHEN THEY TOOK HER.

IF WE GET A CHANCE,
WE NEED TO TALK TO HER.

I WAS OFF DUTY.
I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO!

GOD, I'M SORRY, TINA.

I JUST TALKED TO HIM
ON THE PHONE.

HE SAID HE WAS COMING HOME.

TINA'S FIANCE JASON
OWNED THE BAR.

HE WAS INSIDE
WHEN IT ALL HAPPENED.

WHEN'S IT GONNA STOP?

ANYTHING?

WE GOT A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT M.O.

ASSUMING IT'S NOT A COPYCAT,

WE KNOW WHY THE UNSUB
WASN'T AT THE FUNERAL.

SOMEONE IN THAT BAR
WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM
THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

MORGAN, CALL GARCIA.
TELL HER WE NEED TO KNOW

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
THERE IS TO KNOW

ABOUT THESE 5 VICTIMS,
AND WE NEED TO KNOW IT NOW.

I'LL GO TELL CHIEF
CARLSON WE WANT TO
TALK TO HIS OFFICERS.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO?

HEY, HOW'S MISS SMART
AND SEXY DOING TODAY?

FAIR WARNING, CUPCAKE.
AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU

AND OUR WITTY BANTER,
I AM ALL OUT OF WITTY
AND BANTER

AND AM STRUGGLING
WITH LOVE.

WHAT'S WRONG, BABY?

I AM STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS
OF 31 LIVES

AND WHAT I SEE IS A TRAIN WRECK.

YOU WANT A LITTLE TOUR?
THIS IS WHAT I MEAN.
HERE WE GO.

FLIP PHILLIPS--

HE BEAT HIS WIFE.
IT WENT ON FOR YEARS.

ALTHOUGH YOU WOULDN'T
KNOW IT IF YOU LOOKED
AT THE POLICE REPORTS,

BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE
PERKS OF BEING THE MAYOR.

DAVID ALEXANDER--
HE SUED HIS BOSS
FOR $5 MILLION

OVER SOMETHING TOTALLY LAME,

AND WHAT MAKES IT
EVEN MORE EROTIC

IS THAT HE WAS SLEEPING
WITH THE BOSS' DAUGHTER.

AND THEN THERE IS--
WHERE IS SHE?

OH! ONE OF THE TOWN
COUNCILWOMEN,

NOW, SHE HAD A TERMINALLY
ILL HUSBAND

AND ALSO 3 BOYFRIENDS
UNDER THE AGE OF 20.

I WANT TO BELIEVE
THAT THE WORLD

IS JUST TEEMING
WITH AWESOME PEOPLE,

BUT ALL OF THIS
IS GIVING ME GREAT PAUSE.

I WANT TO GO BACK
TO CYBERSPACE.

I'M SORRY, SWEETHEART,
NOT YET.

I GOT A FEW MORE NAMES
FOR YOU.

OK.

JUST, UM...

PLEASE TELL ME
THEY'RE STILL ALIVE.

I WISH I COULD DO THAT,
GARCIA.

ALL OF THE FIRST 4 FIRES--
THE CONVENIENCE STORE,

THE RESTAURANT,
THE REC CENTER,
AND THE MOVIE THEATER,

ARE INDICATIVE OF
A REVENGE ARSONIST.

THAT'S SOMEONE WHO'S
SEEKING RETALIATION

FOR AN INJUSTICE,
WHETHER REAL OR IMAGINED.

REVENGE ARSONISTS OFTEN TARGET
GROUP HEADQUARTERS,

SUCH AS CHURCHES
OR GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

Hotch: THIS UNSUB HAS CHOSEN
LOCAL GATHERING PLACES

WITH LARGE NUMBERS OF
POTENTIAL VICTIMS INSIDE.

IT'S CLEAR TO US
THAT HE'S CHOSEN TO TARGET
THIS COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.

THAT TELLS US THAT
THE UNSUB IS A LOCAL,

SOMEONE WHO LIVES
OR GREW UP IN ROYAL.

BUT HE FEELS LIKE
AN OUTSIDER.

AS IF THIS COMMUNITY
HAS WRONGED HIM
IN SOME TYPE OF WAY.

THESE FIRES ARE JUST HIS WAY
OF STRIKING BACK,

TRYING TO DRAW ATTENTION
TO HIMSELF.

Prentiss: THESE FIRES
NOT ONLY KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE,

THEY ALSO GAVE THE UNSUB
A SENSE OF POWER
OVER THE COMMUNITY.

BUT SOMEHOW THOSE FIRES
WERE LACKING.

THEY DIDN'T EXACT
THE CORRECT MEASURE
OF PUNISHMENT

OR ATTRACT ENOUGH ATTENTION.

OR THEY DIDN'T ATTRACT
THE ATTENTION
OF THE RIGHT PERSON.

SO WITH THE BAR FIRE,

HE DIDN'T INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS,

HE REDUCED THEM.

THAT'S WHY THE THIRD FIRE
IS KEY.

HE'S NOT STRIKING OUT
AT THE COMMUNITY
AS A WHOLE ANYMORE.

HE'S NOW STRIKING OUT
AT ONE OR MORE INDIVIDUALS.

YOU'RE SURE
IT'S THE SAME GUY?

THE ODDS OF ANOTHER ARSONIST
IN A TOWN THIS SMALL

ARE ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED
TO CONCENTRATE
ON THESE VICTIMS.

THESE 5 WILL HOLD THE KEY.

SO ALL WE GOTTA DO
IS JUST FIGURE OUT

WHO WOULD HAVE WANTED
TO HURT THEM.

IT MAY NOT BE THAT SIMPLE.

THIS TYPE OF RAGE TENDS
TO STEM FROM THINGS
THAT PEOPLE KEEP BURIED.

THINGS THEY JUST DON'T
TALK ABOUT.

WHICH IS WHY WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO DIG DEEPLY.

UNDERSTOOD.

EXCUSE ME.

HOW IS SHE?

WE COULDN'T EVEN SEND HER
TO THE BURN UNIT IN GARY.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED.

WE'LL BE BRIEF.

NANCY.

[MOANS]

IT'S ME.

THE FBI IS HERE.

NANCY, CAN YOU TELL US
WHAT HAPPENED?

THERE WAS A CRASH...

THEN EVERYTHING EXPLODED.

COCKTAIL.

[LABORED BREATHING]

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THAT?

WAS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL
OR OUT OF THE ORDINARY?

DID ANYONE COME IN
OR LEAVE?

JUST JASON.

JASON, THE OWNER?

HE CAME FOR THE MONEY.

LIKE ALWAYS.

HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?

NANCY,
WHAT ABOUT CUSTOMERS?

WAS THERE ANYONE THERE
WHO SEEMED ANXIOUS OR UPSET?

[NANCY MOANING]

HE WOULD HAVE
KEPT TO HIMSELF,

TAKEN A SEAT AWAY FROM
THE OTHER CUSTOMERS.

MAYBE HE WAS
CHECKING HIS WATCH
OR HIS CELL PHONE.

THERE WAS A GUY...

HE SEEMED ANGRY.

HE KEPT CHANGING SEATS.

OK. WE HAVE TO STOP.

WHO WAS THAT, NANCY?
YOU KNOW HIS NAME?

NOW.

[NANCY MOANING]

Prentiss: SO TELL US
ABOUT THE BAR VICTIMS.

ALL RIGHT.
HILDA AND ROGER DRAKE.

SHE WAS A TEACHER,
HE SOLD INSURANCE.

FRIENDS, ENEMIES?

OH, NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT.
THEY SEEMED SWEET.

THEIR BIGGEST PROBLEM
WAS FINDING BABY NAMES.
HILDA WAS PREGNANT.

ARE YOU SURE?

THE M.E. HASN'T EVEN
STARTED YET.

NO, PEOPLE IN ROYAL
TAKE OUT ADS.

"LORDY, LORDY,
LOOKS WHO'S 40."

"ASK JANE WHAT SHE WAS DOING
AT THE AMERICAN LEGION
ON FRIDAY NIGHT."

THAT'S JUST WRONG.

THAT'S SMALL-TOWN LIFE
FOR YOU.

YOUR BUSINESS
IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS.

THERE WAS A BELLY WATCH
ON HILDA.

UH, WHAT ABOUT ERIC GALL?

OH, ERIC.
HE WAS A BOOZER.

HE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME
AT POP'S PLACE.

I'VE GOT A FEW DRUNK
AND DISORDERLIES,
BUT HE SEEMS HARMLESS.

AND GIVEN THE AMOUNT
OF ROUNDS HE BOUGHT,

IT'S SAFE TO SAY
THE WHOLE TOWN LOVED HIM.

IT'S HOTCH.
[RINGING]

YEAH, WHAT'S UP?

MM-HMM.

OK.

I GOT IT.

OK, WELL, THEY MANAGED
TO SPEAK TO THE BARTENDER.

ACCORDING TO HER, THERE WAS
A GUY THERE BEFORE THE FIRE.

HE DIDN'T SPEAK TO ANYBODY
AND HE KEPT SWITCHING SEATS.

SHE DIDN'T SEEM
TO RECOGNIZE HIM.

OK. WAIT. SO SHE KNEW
THE OWNER

AND THE BOOZER,

AND THE HUSBAND
WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN UP
AND CHANGED SEATS.

JJ: IF THE BARTENDER
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM,

MAYBE HE'S JUST NOT FROM ROYAL.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TRUE.

WHAT IF SHE KNEW HIM AND
SHE JUST DIDN'T REALIZE IT?

JJ:
WHAT, LIKE A DISGUISE?

THE FIRE CAPTAIN SAID
THE UNSUB KNEW THE LAYOUT

OF THE MOVIE THEATER.
HE USED THAT KNOWLEDGE
TO LIGHT THE FIRE.

BUT AT THE BAR, THE UNSUB
KEPT CHANGING HIS SEATS.

WHICH WOULD GIVE HIM
A BETTER VIEW

OF THE ENTRANCES AND EXITS.

SO HE WAS STUDYING THE LAYOUT.

HE WASN'T FAMILIAR
WITH THE AREA.

WHAT IF HE GREW UP IN ROYAL
AND HE MOVED AWAY?

GARCIA, WHAT YEAR
WAS THAT BAR BUILT?

UH, THE BAR WAS BUILT 5...
6 YEARS AGO.

AND WHAT ABOUT
THE MOVIE THEATER?

THE MOVIE THEATER
WAS BUILT IN THE FORTIES.

IT WAS A SINGLE SCREEN,
THEY DIVIDED IT 2 YEARS AGO.

REC CENTER WAS BUILT
IN THE LATE SEVENTIES.

I'M GONNA CALL HOTCH.

JASON ELLIOT OPENED
POP'S PLACE 6 YEARS AGO

WHEN HE MOVED TO ROYAL
FROM INDIANAPOLIS.

WHY? DOES HE HAVE
FRIENDS OR FAMILY HERE?

NONE THAT I COULD FIND.

WHAT ABOUT THE BAR?
DID JASON BUY IT

FROM SOMEONE,
TAKE OVER THEIR BUSINESS?

NO. JASON STARTED THE BAR
HIMSELF.

HE NAMED IT AFTER
HIS FATHER,

WHO, BY THE WAY,
WAS HIS SOLE BENEFICIARY.

MAKES SENSE.
HE WAS SINGLE.

WELL, HE WAS SINGLE,
UP UNTIL A COUPLE DAYS AGO,

BECAUSE 2 DAYS AGO,
JASON MARRIED...

TINA WHEELER.

THE EMT.

YEAH. I HAD CHECKED
HER OUT ORIGINALLY

AS ONE OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS,
BUT HER WORK RECORDS
LOOKED SQUEAKY CLEAN,

AND SO I LET IT GO
UNTIL I REALIZED
SHE'D MARRIED JASON,

AND THEN I DID SOME MORE
AGGRESSIVE DIGGING,

WHICH I SHOULD REMIND YOU
YOU ASKED ME TO DO,

AND IT TURNS OUT
THAT TINA'S PARENTS DIED
IN A FIRE WHEN SHE WAS 5.

AFTER THEY DIED,
HER AND HER BROTHER TOMMY

WERE SENT TO LIVE WITH
THEIR GRANDPARENTS IN ROYAL.

SEND US EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE ON THEM.

WELL, THAT'S JUST IT.
I GOT...

I GOT PLENTY ON TINA,

BUT I CAN'T REALLY FIND
ANYTHING ON HER BROTHER.

TINA, SHE, UH,
LIVED IN ROYAL,

SHE WENT TO A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE A FEW TOWNS OVER,

GOT A DEGREE, TOOK A JOB,

WORKED HARD, MARRIED JASON--

UH...WAIT...

TOMMY, IT'S LIKE...

HE JUST DISAPPEARED.

FIND HIM, GARCIA.

LANA PERRY, PLEASE.

HI. THIS IS PENELOPE GARCIA
OF THE FBI.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS.

YOU HAVE A SECOND?

YES. I--I WANTED TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT A STUDENT, UH,
NAMED TOMMY WHEELER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OH, MY GOD.

SIR, I THINK
I HAVE SOMETHING.

WE BELIEVE JASON ELLIOT
MAY HAVE BEEN THE TARGET.

JASON?

THE BARTENDER SAID THAT
JASON STOPPED BY THE BAR

AT THE SAME TIME EACH DAY
TO PICK UP THE CASH
AND TAKE IT TO THE BANK.

Prentiss: WHICH WOULD HAVE
MADE HIM AN EASY TARGET FOR
ANYONE WHO KNEW HIS SCHEDULE.

Carlson:
I DON'T GET ALL THIS.

JASON WAS A GOOD MAN.

IT MAY SOUND CORNY TO YOU,

BUT EVERYBODY LOVED HIM.

2 DAYS AGO, JASON ELLIOT
MARRIED TINA WHEELER.

SHE TOLD ME ABOUT IT
YESTERDAY. UH...

ALL THE TRAGEDIES MADE THEM
NOT WANT TO WAIT.

IT'S A DAMN SHAME.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT TINA'S BROTHER TOMMY?

TOMMY?

UH, NOBODY'S SEEN HIM AROUND
HERE IN MORE THAN 10 YEARS.

UH, WE ACTUALLY THINK
THEY MAY HAVE.

THEY JUST MIGHT NOT
RECOGNIZE HIM.

Rawlings: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

Reid:
WELL, HE'S AGED 10 YEARS,

AND HE'D MAKE SURE
TO GO UNNOTICED.

GARCIA?

TOMMY WHEELER.

LITTLE TOMMY WHEELER.
YOU REMEMBER HIM?

HE AND HIS SISTER TINA
MOVED TO ROYAL
WHEN HE WAS 5.

DOC RAWLINGS WAS
HIS PEDIATRICIAN.

APPARENTLY EARLY MEDICAL
RECORDS INDICATED

TOMMY MAY HAVE BEEN
EMOTIONALLY UNBALANCED.

TOMMY WAS A LITTLE
UNSTABLE.

HIS PARENTS DYING
BROUGHT THAT OUT.

GRANTED, I DON'T HAVE
A MEDICAL DEGREE,

BUT MY GUESS IS,
WATCHING HIS PARENTS
DIE IN A FIRE

DIDN'T HELP TOMMY'S
EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.

WHAT ABOUT TINA?
HOW DID THE FIRES AFFECT HER?

UH...TINA WASN'T AS DAMAGED
BY IT AS HE WAS.

UH, SHE ADJUSTED MORE QUICKLY.

SHE WAS TOMMY'S LIFELINE.

SHE WAS MORE THAN THAT.
IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS--

NO PARENTS, NEW ENVIRONMENT,

AND GRANDPARENTS PROBABLY
TOO OLD TO TAKE CARE OF THEM,

TINA BECAME TOMMY'S
WHOLE WORLD.

SISTER, MOTHER, FAMILY.

THEY WERE VERY CLOSE.

CLOSE ENOUGH THAT TINA
DISTORTED TOMMY'S LOVE MAP.

THE WAY AN INDIVIDUAL
GIVES OR RECEIVES LOVE--

THEIR LOVE MAP--

IS ESTABLISHED
BY THE AGE OF 6.

WITH THE DEATH
OF THE PARENTS,

TOMMY'S LOVE MAP REVOLVED
EXCLUSIVELY AROUND TINA.

YEAH, IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE
IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD.

BY THE TIME THEY WERE 8,
THEY EVEN HAD
THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.

IT WAS A BIT DISTURBING.

BUT UNDERSTANDABLE.
PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE.

MAYBE.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED?
PEOPLE TALKED.

IT'S THE ONLY REAL
OCCUPATION IN ROYAL.

Carlson: THERE WERE RUMORS.

IT WAS THAT TOMMY AND TINA
WERE TOO CLOSE.

TOMMY WHEELER!

MY GOD, THAT'S YOUR SISTER!

NOTHING WAS EVER
CONFIRMED, THOUGH.

NO, IT WASN'T.
BUT, THEN, THE TRUTH
DIDN'T MATTER.

AFTER THE RUMORS STARTED,

THINGS GOT UGLY.

PEOPLE POINTED FINGERS,

TOMMY GOT EXPELLED
FROM SCHOOL.

BASED ON NOTHING
BUT HEARSAY.

NOT TRUE.
THE SCHOOL HAD CAUSE.

GARCIA--
NO, THEY DIDN'T.

I SPOKE TO HIS TEACHER.
SHE TOLD ME HOW THE WHOLE
SCHOOL AND THE WHOLE TOWN

TURNED AGAINST HIM
BASED ON NOTHING BUT A RUMOR.

SHE ALSO TOLD ME ANOTHER RUMOR.
GARCIA--

IN THIS ONE, 14-YEAR-OLD
TOMMY WAS BEATEN WITHIN
AN INCH OF HIS LIFE

BY ADULTS. GROWN MEN.

I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT
UNTIL AFTER THE FACT.

THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.

BROKEN BONES,
PUNCTURED LUNG.
ALL BECAUSE OF A RUMOR.

I COULDN'T GO AFTER
ANYONE BASED ONLY
ON MY SUSPICIONS.

NOBODY WAS TALKING
ABOUT IT,

NOT EVEN TOMMY.

I SPOKE TO HIS GRANDPARENTS

AND TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO.

YEAH. SO THEY MOVED TOMMY

TO A COLORADO
BOARDING SCHOOL,

AND THEY CUT OFF ALL TIES
BETWEEN HIM AND HIS SISTER.

IT WAS AS IF TOMMY
NEVER EVEN EXISTED.

IT WAS FOR THE BEST.

THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM.

IF WHAT GARCIA SAID IS TRUE,
THEN THIS TOWN'S ACTIONS

WENT A LONG WAY TOWARDS
MAKING TOMMY WHO HE IS.

WE NEED TO TALK TO TINA.

Carlson: GO ON AROUND,
CHECK THE BACK.

Officer: YES, SIR.

[DOG BARKING]

[KNOCKING]

TINA!

IT'S ME, BRAD!

TINA?

MORGAN, FIND OUT IF TINA
SHOWED UP FOR WORK TODAY.

TINA?

TINA?

TINA?

CLEAR!

NOBODY'S HERE.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[BEEP]

YEAH, MORGAN.

TINA DIDN'T SHOW UP
FOR HER SHIFT. THANKS.

SHE LEFT HER CELL PHONE.

YOU THINK IT WAS TOMMY?

[DOOR CREAKS]

YES?

TOMMY?

PUT OUT AN APB
FOR TOMMY AND TINA.

CLOSE ALL ROADS
IN AND OUT OF ROYAL.

NO, NO, HE LOVES HER.

HE WOULDN'T HURT HER.

HE WILL IF SHE REJECTS HIM.

ACCORDING TO HIS FORMER TEACHER,

TOMMY WHEELER ENROLLED
IN A COLORADO BOARDING SCHOOL

UNDER THE NAME THOMAS BOREN.

THAT'S HIS DEAD MOTHER'S
MAIDEN NAME.

I TRACKED DOWN HIS RECORDS.

HE WAS AT THAT SCHOOL
FOR HALF A YEAR
BEFORE HE LANDED IN JUVEY,

WHERE HE RESIDED
FOR THE NEXT 3.

HIS PSYCH EVALS DURING HIS STAY
WERE LESS THAN STELLAR.

SO HOW MAD
DO YOU THINK HE IS?

WELL, IF I WAS HIM
I'D BE PRETTY MAD.

OH, GOD.

GARCIA, THE TOWN DID
TURN AGAINST HIM.

I MEAN, THAT'S
NOT AN EXCUSE.

NO, NOT TOMMY. HOTCH.

I MEAN, HE DID TELL ME
TO DIG, RIGHT? SO I DUG.

AND GRANTED, I'M NOT
SUPPOSED TO HAVE DIRECT
CONTACT WITH THE PUBLIC

OR PURPORT MYSELF
AS AN FBI AGENT.

AND--OK, I'M DEFINITELY

NOT SUPPOSED TO ACCUSE
SOMEONE OF A FELONY

OR EVEN A MISDEMEANOR,

ESPECIALLY WHEN I DON'T
HAVE ANY ACTUAL EVIDENCE.

OH, GOD.

I DID JUST WHAT THEY DID.

I--I BASED EVERYTHING
ON A RUMOR.

I GOT SUCKED RIGHT IN.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO. I--

GARCIA, COME ON, BABY.
STICK TO TOMMY.

RIGHT.

SORRY.

OK, UH...

HE WAS RELEASED FROM JUVEY
WHEN HE WAS 16.

YOU COULDN'T FIND HIM?
THAT'S WHEN THE TRAIL GOES COLD.

NO, I SAID THE TRAIL WENT COLD,
I DIDN'T SAY IT DISAPPEARED.

THIS IS THE PART
I'M ACTUALLY GOOD AT.

WHATEVER HE DID IN THE INTERIM
REMAINS A MYSTERY,

MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN,
BUT AT THE AGE OF 21,

THOMAS BOREN RE-EMERGED
IN FRANKLIN, INDIANA.

THAT'S 300 MILES AWAY
FROM ROYAL.

SAID MR. BOREN PURCHASED
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE

2 MONTHS AGO.
IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
TO DO IN INDIANA,

EXCEPT THAT
MR. TOMMY WHEELER/BOREN
DIDN'T OWN A FARM.

THE NUISANCE FIRES.

ROGER THAT. AND THEN AFTER
HIS LITTLE SPENDING SPREE,

THAT'S WHEN THE TRAIL
GOES COLD AND I CAN'T FIND HIM.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

YEAH, HOTCH.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S STILL NO SIGN
OF TINA.

HE WANTS YOU TO BRING
RAWLINGS.

WE'VE LOCKED DOWN THE TOWN

AND PUT OUT A STATEWIDE ALERT.

SO FAR, NOTHING.

WHERE IN ROYAL WOULD
TOMMY TAKE HIS SISTER?

IT'S HARD TO SAY.

IT'S LIKELY TO BE A PLACE
THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO THE BOTH OF THEM.

MAYBE A PLACE THAT THEY
WENT TO TOGETHER AS KIDS.

I DON'T KNOW.
THE ONLY PLACE
I CAN THINK OF

IS THEIR GRANDPARENTS'
OLD HOUSE,

BUT THAT WAS TORN DOWN
YEARS AGO.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP US.

I'VE GOT PICTURES OF HER WITH
THE GRANDPARENTS AND FRIENDS.

NOTHING WITH TOMMY.

GARCIA WAS RIGHT.

AFTER HE WAS SENT AWAY,
TOMMY NO LONGER EXISTED,

NOT EVEN AS A MEMORY.

TOMMY, PLEASE,
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

I FOUND TOMMY.

OR WHAT SHE HAD LEFT
OF HIM.

YOU MEAN EVERYTHING
TO ME.

EVERYTHING.

YOU AND I, WE'RE--
WE'RE SOUL MATES.

TOMMY.

THEY CAN'T KEEP US
APART ANYMORE.

THAT'S YOUR SISTER!

THEY?

GET OFF OF HER
RIGHT NOW.

MY GOD, TOMMY.

ALL THOSE...PEOPLE--

YOU KILLED THEM?

FOR YOU. FOR US.
SO WE CAN BE TOGETHER.

DON'T YOU SEE THAT--
THAT'S HOW IT WAS
MEANT TO BE.

JUST THE TWO OF US.

YOU KILLED JASON?

DON'T SAY HIS NAME!
DON'T!

HOTCH, I THINK
WE HAVE SOMETHING HERE.

WHAT DANCE IS THIS?

THE, UH, SPRING FORMAL.

THEY HOLD IT EVERY YEAR
AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

MAY OF '98.
THIS WAS JUST BEFORE
TOMMY WAS BEATEN

AND FORCED OUT OF TOWN.

IS THIS DANCE SOMETHING
TOMMY AND TINA
WOULD HAVE GONE TO?

IT'S A BIG EVENT.

ALL THE KIDS GO
EVEN IF THEY DON'T
HAVE FORMAL DATES.

SO THEY COULD HAVE
GONE TOGETHER?

ABSOLUTELY.

[SIRENS]

I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER.

TOMMY, DON'T.
DON'T DO THIS.

WE WERE TOGETHER.

WE WERE HAPPY.

TOMMY, STOP IT!
PLEASE STOP IT!

YOU HAVE TO
TURN YOURSELF IN.

REMEMBER!

I REMEMBER.

IT CAN BE LIKE THIS AGAIN.

WE CAN BE TOGETHER, OK?
JUST LIKE THIS.

NO. WE CAN'T, TOMMY.

WE CAN'T!
IT ISN'T RIGHT!

IT IS!

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
I PROMISE.

YOU BELONG WITH ME.

NO, I DON'T!
NO, I DON'T!

PLEASE! LET ME GO!

Hotch: TOMMY, LET HER GO!

Carlson: LET HER GO, SON!

LET HER GO, SON!

LET HER GO!

NO.

I'LL BURN THE WHOLE TOWN DOWN.

Hotch: NO, YOU WON'T.
NOT IF YOU LOVE HER.

LOOK AT HER, TOMMY.
LOOK AT HER.

IF YOU REALLY LOVE HER,
THEN LET HER GO.

PLEASE, TOMMY.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO HURT HER, SON.

I...LOVE YOU.

I KNOW.

[CRYING]

[SOBBING]

Hotch: "I HAVE LOVED
TO THE POINT OF MADNESS.

"THAT WHICH IS CALLED MADNESS.

THAT WHICH TO ME IS THE ONLY
SENSIBLE WAY TO LOVE."

FRANCOISE SAGAN.

YOU GUYS CHOOSE THIS...

TURNING PEOPLE OVER
LIKE ROCKS

AND LOOKING AT ALL
THEIR CREEPY CRAWLY
THINGS UNDERNEATH.

AND I GET IT. I DO.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY
TO CATCH THEM. BUT...

I WANT TO SEE
THE GOOD IN PEOPLE.

I CHOOSE TO SEE
THE GOOD IN PEOPLE.

AND...GETTING INTO
SOMEONE'S MIND

AND TRYING TO FIND
THE GOD-AWFUL THING
THAT HAPPENED TO THEM

THAT MADE THEM DO
THE GOD-AWFUL THING
TO SOMEBODY ELSE

HAS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED
MY ABILITY TO GIGGLE,

AND IT MAKES MY BRAIN
ALL WONKY, AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

GARCIA.

YES, SIR.

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU

FOR YOUR EXCELLENT WORK
ON THIS CASE.

AND I UNDERSTAND
THAT WHAT YOU DID

WAS FOR YOU VERY DIFFICULT.

BUT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS
ARE ESSENTIAL

TO THE SUCCESS
OF THIS TEAM.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I KNOW YOU SEE THE GOOD
IN PEOPLE, PENELOPE.

ALWAYS.

AND I WOULD NEVER
WANT YOU TO CHANGE THAT.
