Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 4, Episode 3 - Minimal Loss - full transcript

Reid and Prentiss enter a Christian cult's community ranch to investigate a anonymous tip about child molestation. Moments after they enter, the state police begin a raid on the place which quickly turns into a Waco Siege-like standoff with Reid and Prentiss being held captive by the cult's militia.

Man: this is a special report
From la plata county, colorado.

We're reminded of
Jim mckay's words from munich--

"our greatest hopes And our
worst fears Are seldom realized."

Let's hope it's not The latter,
as we wait To hear the fate

Of the women, children, And
fbi agents Inside the building.

[explosion]

Jim, are you getting this?

Girl, whispering: He comes into
my bedroom And lays with me.

He says it's god's will.
I'm only 15.

And I'm not the only one.
Please help me!

Reid: tell us
About the 911 call.



I believe the "he"
That they referred to

Is the church's leader,
Benjamin cyrus.

Benjamin cyrus--
No criminal record.

No record at all, really. What
else do you know About him?

It's rumored that he's Practicing
polygamy And forced marriages.

Any idea who the caller is?

Uh, jessica evanson is The one who
the age fits, But...we can't be sure,

So I negotiated interviews
With all the children.

It wasn't easy.

Well, considering their view
On outsiders,

It would be best if you didn't
Identify us as fbi.

Just use our real names

And introduce us as
Child victim interview experts.

[baby crying]



I'm looking for
Mr. Benjamin cyrus.

You found him.

I'm nancy lunde.

We spoke on the phone
Regarding the allegation.

Savages they call us,

Because our manners
Differ from theirs.

We didn't come here To hear
you cite Scripture, mr. Cyrus.

Actually,
It's benjamin franklin.

Emily prentiss,
Spencer reid--

The child victim
Interview experts.

How far from god's word
Must we have strayed

For there to be the need
To invent a job called

Child victim interview expert.

We wish we didn't
Have to be here.

So do we.

But you are welcome,
Nonetheless.

The children are in the school
As I indicated.

Thank you.

You're using solar power?

Yeah. We're completely
Self-sufficient--

Electricity,
Food, water.

Ben franklin said, God helps
those That helps themselves.

You look surprised.

No, uh, impressed, actually.

Thank you.

For what?

For admitting that.

We go to school.
We do our chores.

And we treat ourselves
And each other

With the respect
That god demands.

But you've never been
Off of the ranch?

I brought jessie
Here when she was 2.

You've talked to lots
Of children in your work.

Tell me, are their lives
Somehow better than ours?

We devote ourselves
To god.

That doesn't mean We're
not devoted To our children.

We are not here because
Of your religious beliefs.

Why are you here?

We received a phone call

Alleging that an adult male
Member of your church

Was having
Inappropriate relations

With the younger women here.

You're talking about cyrus.

What makes you say that?

Jessie, come on.
Shh. Shh.

Is it inappropriate For a husband
to share A bed with his wife?

You are married to cyrus?

Yes. Cyrus is my husband
And a prophet.

It's an honor
To bear his children.

Jessica,
You're 15 years old.

The state of colorado
Requires parental consent.

She gave consent.

Get up! Get up!
You heard him, come on.

Stand!

What's going on?

We just got A very strange
phone call From a news reporter.

Is there anything You want to
tell me, About a raid, maybe?

They don't know.

Chapel, straight ahead.

School to the left.

Team one, hit the school.
Team 2, hit the chapel.

State police!
We have a warrant!

Clear!

Team one to team 2.
Be advised the school is empty.

We have not secured
The children.

Hit it again!

Hit it again!

We have a hatch.

It's a tunnel!

What's going on?

Just stay calm.

They knew we were coming.
Out! Out! Move out!

[gunfire]

Uhh!

Cyrus: all right, move quietly.

Quickly, go to the left.

Everybody stay together.
Children, listen To your parents.

All right, everyone.
Down to this end.

Have faith.

Prentiss: where did
All these guns come from?

I don't know. Garcia checked
With the state police.

Stay together.
Remain calm.

Everyone remain calm.
There is nothing to fear here.

This is ridiculous.

It's ok.
Just calm down.

Cyrus: what's going on?

They're trying to breach
The front door.

All right.

Remain calm, stay quiet.

God will protect you.

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Get the door open!

It's the state police.

I'm an officer
Of the state.

Well, there's nothing
We can do right now.

I can talk to him.

No, you can't.
It's dangerous.

Nancy, stop!

Nancy!

Go away! We have women
And children here. Please!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

Mr. Cyrus,
Let me talk to them.

Ohh!

Do not fear. We are on
The side of the righteous.

Where's lunde?

It wasn't us.

What? You can't shoot it out
With the cops!

You have children here.

I didn't start this.

I'll take the roof.
You take the tunnel.

[gunfire continues]

Check your rear!
The hatch!

Man down! Man down!

We can't stay here!

Cyrus: hold your fire!
Hold your fire!

We're giving you a chance
To pull back!

Please, take it!

Bower's hit bad.

Ok. We're pulling back.

Pull back!

They're pulling out!
They're pulling out!

Reid: not for long.

Reid: "to follow by faith alone
Is to follow blindly."

Benjamin franklin.

Morgan.
What's up?

Reporter: what is reportedly Being called
a routine Questions and answers meeting

By colorado child services

Had turned into a violent
And deadly standoff

Between colorado authorities
And a fringe religious group

Known as the separtarian sect.
The raid on...

Jj, that's not the ranch
Where prentiss and reid--

They're still inside.

Hotch!

Tv: ...tactical warrant
Service team

Into a forced retreat After
losing a 30-minute Gun battle...

The tv.
Prentiss and reid.

Tv: no one knows for sure
How many people are inside.

It is believed at least 3
Of the child service members

Are still trapped
Within the compound.

[telephones ringing]
One police officer has died...

All right that means
We're the lead

With hostage rescue
And support. Let's go.

Tv: ...turned deadly When the
colorado state Police officers

Tried to serve a warrant.

Colorado attorney general
Jim wells

Says the reclusive cult
Has been the subject

Of a 6-month weapons
Investigation.

Morgan: 6 months.
We didn't check?

Jj: no. We checked.
I had atf call wells.

He told atf there were
No pending state investigations.

He lied.
Why?

Wells is challenging The
governor In the next election.

He thought that atf
Was about to poach

His big election-launching
Weapons bust.

Now, it's clear he didn't know
There were fbi agents there.

He just thought the best time
To serve a state warrant

Was when the kids were Safe inside
the school Being interviewed.

What do we know
About the sect?

Liberty ranch was founded in
1980 by libertarian leo kane.

He created it as
A self-sustaining commune.

Libertarians believe That everyone
has the right To do what they want

As long as They aren't infringing
On the rights of others.

But libertarians
Aren't religious.

Clearly this sect abandoned
Libertarian principles.

Benjamin cyrus,
The current leader,

Introduced religion 8
years ago When kane left.

Garcia,
What do we got on cyrus?

Oh, we got bupkus.

It's like the guy never cast
A shadow on the known universe.

However his predecessor,
Leo kane,

Is doing a 17-year stretch
At deerfield federal prison.

Apparently libertarians
Do not like paying taxes.

17 years for tax evasion?

Oh, no. That would be
2 years for tax evasion

And 15 for going after 4 i.r.s.
Agents with A louisville slugger.

Let's have kane
Brought to the scene.

He's our best chance At finding out
some idea Of who we're dealing with.

Miles is dead.

He was locking the door
When they shot him.

Lauren and robert
Were asleep in their bed.

The bullets came
Through the wall.

What about the baby?

I have her.
She was at the school.

Hello, darlin'.

It's all gonna
Be all right, honey.

Mommy and daddy
Have gone to god. Ok?

It's all gonna be
All right.

Take her to the temple
And pray.

All right.

Distribute weapons and ammo.

I prayed this day
Would never come, but it has.

God will see us through.

[indistinct police
Radio transmission]

Dave. They've left The choice
of Negotiators up to me.

I taught most of
The hostage negotiation unit.

You want a recommendation?

I'm making you
The lead negotiator.

Me?

Why go to the students
When I have the teacher?

Because the teacher
Is emotionally involved.

So is the agent in command.

I know I am.
This is a unique situation.

We have 2 agents Who could
affect The outcome on the inside.

True. But I can't
Be objective.

I know them too well.

This outcome depends
As much on our ability

To predict the moves
Of prentiss and reid as cyrus.

Now, that's why you're
The best man for the job.

Assuming that reid And prentiss are
still in A condition to make moves.

I know how bad this is. That's
why I want you Doing the talking.

All right.

Man: you're obviously Not
in charge. I can see that!

I'm sorry, sir. I'm under
direct Orders from the fbi.

I'm the attorney general
Of this state.

I demand to know
Why I wasn't told

That the fbi was sending Undercover
agents Into the separtarian ranch.

The only thing That you're in
the position To demand is lawyer.

Who the hell are you?

I'm aaron hotchner,
Unit chief.

I'm the guy who's gonna tell
The attorney general

Of the united states

Whether to charge you With
obstructing A federal investigation

Or negligent homicide.

You can't talk
To me like that.

Get off my crime scene.

Hey, dan.
You know dave rossi.

Sure.

We've been here before,
Haven't we?

Waco. Ruby ridge.
Freeman stand off.

Let's hope someone listens
To you guys this time.

Oh, they did more Than
listen. They put us in charge.

So bring us up to speed.

I've sent the state
Police packing.

They started this mess.
Lost a man in the process.

Hope that's ok.

If you hadn't,
We would have.

Good.

County sheriffs have had
No run-ins with the sect,

So we're using them
As support.

We've had no contact
With them so far.

They've got power--solar.

We can shoot out the panels
If you think--

No. No.
That's an escalation.

Ok. But that means they have
Access to the news.

I'll get jj
To talk to the press.

Your men ready
To be briefed?

Let's go.

We call this the
Minimal loss scenario.

Every person we get out
Is a life saved.

We won't save them all.

All of us have to be Prepared
to accept That situation.

Cults are structured
Like pyramids.

You got the leader at the top.

Diehard believers beneath.

The biggest group,
The base...

Followers.

Women and children.

These are the people
We can save.

The "trickle, flow, gush" Strategy
is designed To get base followers out.

First one or 2,

Then 3 or 4, Then as many
as we can As fast as we can.

And if at any point
It starts to go bad,

We go in.

The leaders are
Charismatic sociopaths

Who target those most
Susceptible to their seduction.

They have the ability
To see what each person needs,

And then they become that thing.

We have to undermine
Their perception

That we're an invading army
Laying siege to their home.

We'll lose the fatigues.

Rancher's clothes
Work for you?

Like we did at
The freeman standoff?

Perfect. Anything we can do
To demilitarize the situation.

Hello?

Little girl: you killed
My mom and daddy.

Are you going to kill me, too?

No one is going
To kill you, honey.

This is benjamin cyrus.

Who am I talking to?

David rossi.
I'm an fbi agent.

We sent the state
Police away.

There's just us
And the local sheriff.

All we want to do
Is resolve this

Before anyone else
Gets hurt.

Then leave us alone.

I'm afraid we can't
Do that, benjamin.

One of the police bled out
On the way to the hospital.

So let's just stop this
Before things get worse.

Please, just put down
Your guns and come out.

We're believers, dave.

We believe that god Says what
he means And means what he says.

His laws don't depend on
What state you live in.

I have no issue
With your beliefs.

You don't,
But the state does.

I can't answer
For other people.

Oh, god will answer
For everyone

In the final battle
I've foreseen.

That's why I'm here-- To make
sure that this Is not that battle.

We shall see.

Now, the 3 child
Services workers...

One of them is dead.

It wasn't us.

I need a name
To inform the family.

Her name was nancy lunde.

Ok. Now, please, benjamin,

Send out your wounded.

I promise you
They'll be well taken care of.

With enough supplies
We can tend to our own.

Ok. I need a few hours
To put it together.

I'll bring them up myself
At first light.

They could take you hostage.

I'm gonna confirm The kids,
prentiss, And reid are ok.

Rossi, at least
Let me go with you.

No. This is about
Building trust.

I go alone.

I want the parabolic arc Mikes fixed
on every window In that structure.

Man: they won't pick up Much. They
have blinds On all the windows.

Unless they're shouting, The glass won't
vibrate enough For us to get an audio.

Well, if they're Not shouting,
these bugs Will pick 'em up,

At least
Until the batteries die.

How familiar are Agents prentiss
and reid With our playbook?

The bau wrote
The cirg handbook.

They'll know that We're trying
to get ears In there at all times.

Good. Let's hope they can
Get these people talking.

They will.

Dave?

I'm ben.

Come on in.

The children.

And our guests.

I'd hoped you'd let me
Take the children.

Nah, their our protection.

I remember waco.
We all do.

This isn't waco.

They stay for now...

While I pray
For god's guidance.

Please don't try
To force us out.

No one's gonna try to force
You out of here, trust me.

Trust is earned.

It is.

Tell them I'm not crazy.

Tell them I'm just a man
Living by god's law.

I will.

Prepare the wine.

We are celebrating.

Everyone drinks.
Everyone rejoices.

Because today we are one day
Closer to being with him.

Look at jessica's
Body language.

The way she looks at him.

She literally worships him.

There's no way she made
That 911 call.

Trust in god
With all your heart.

Lean not on your
Own understandings.

Trust in mine.

Look how she comes between
Cyrus and her daughter.

She's inserted herself
Between them.

Acknowledge him
In all things

And he will guide your way.

Drink to acknowledge him
And I will guide our way.

Reid and prentiss are ok.

Morgan: what about cyrus?

He's too calm.

It's like he was
Waiting for this to happen,

And now that it has,
He feels vindicated.

I got a signal.
I'm getting a signal here.

Cyrus:
We will be with him soon.

We have drank
The poison together.

Mothers...

Fathers...

Children,

Though we walk through
The valley

Of the shadow of death,
We fear no evil,

For thou art with us.

This doesn't fit.

I looked him in the eye.
He was calm, lucid.

They're committing
Mass suicide.

We don't know that
For sure.

Rossi, he just said it.
We're ready to go.

If we go in there,
People are going to die.

People are already dying.

And god will wipe
The tears from their eyes,

And there will be
No more death

Nor sorrow nor crying.

And there will be
No more pain.

For all of the former things
Have passed away.

What do we do?

Nothing.

We have to do something.
These people just took poison.

Cyrus just told them They did.
I think He's just bluffing.

Why do you think that?

Just after he told them
About the poison,

He waited for them
To start to react.

Then he nodded to cole
And he started writing.

Look.

They're scanning The audience
Looking for reactions.

They're writing down the names
Of the people who are crying.

It's a loyalty list.

So he knows who will
Follow him to the end.

Jim jones pulled
The same stunt!

They did a test run just Like this
years before They did the real thing.

Prepare your men to go in.

Cyrus: be still.
There was no poison.

Dan...

Instead a test of faith.

Because your adversary,
The devil,

Waltzes about
As a roaring lion,

Choosing whom he may devour.

Watch each other
For signs of weakness.

You are
Your brother's keeper.

Tell 'em to stand down.

Yes, sir. Nice call.

Former sect leader is here.

I got it.

Charles mulgrew
Is his real name.

Charles mulgrew.

His mother was 5 months Pregnant
when she showed up At our doorstep.

He turned out to be
One of the smart ones.

Amazing memory that kid had.

Anything he read he could
Repeat back to you, And he did.

Mouthy little
Son of a bitch.

Why did he leave the ranch?

When he was 17,

A couple of
Our young girls came to me

And said that he'd been
Messing with them.

You mean sexually?

Yes, sir, I do.

Now, don't get me wrong.
I'm a libertarian,

But...those little girls
Were too young

For a 17-year-old
To be messing with.

So you kicked him out
For that?

Yes, sir, I did.

His mother took him
To kentucky.

Hadn't heard anything
From him for years.

Then when he finally
Showed up again,

He said his mother
Had died, he found god,

And he wanted to come home.

How does a kid like that
Get rid of you?

One day he came to me And said god
told him That I should leave the ranch.

I said if god felt that way,
God can tell me himself.

He put a gun to my head
And said, "he just did."

Took me 20 years
To build that ranch.

I'll do anything I can
To help you

Send that ungrateful Son
of a bitch Straight to hell.

I need a map.

Charles mulgrew--convicted
In kentucky at the age of 18,

3 counts statutory rape.

So we need to talk
To the warden?

Way ahead of you, honey.
Mr. Kentucky warden said

That once inside, Mulgrew found
religion, Became a model citizen.

Well, it's not
That hard to behave

When you're in Protective
custody The whole time.

General population's a rough
Place for a child molester.

No. No. I don't think
You guys understand.

He was a model citizen.

This guy volunteered At the
prison hospital-- The aids ward--

He was reading to prisoners
Dying of h.i.v.

Good stuff.

Damn straight.
Now get our friends back, baby.

Well, this makes
Things worse.

What, that he was
A model citizen?

That he's been to prison.

He knows what happens
To child molesters there.

If the current sexual
Allegations are true

And he thinks we know it,

He's not coming
Out of there.

Then we have to make him think
He's not going back.

Jj, I need you to release
A press statement

Saying that we have Absolutely
no evidence Of sexual allegations.

You need to see this.

Reporter: now well into
Its second day,

The standoff at
The separtarian sect ranch

Has now been
Taken over by the fbi.

There was much speculation
In regard to hostages,

But anonymous sources Inside the
state attorney General's office

Have told us there is
An undercover fbi agent

Currently being held inside
The separtarian sect ranch.

Hostage negotiators
Say they are making headway

With the sect's leadership And
are hopeful For a positive outcome.

There's still no word as To why an
undercover fbi Agent was sent in alone.

Which one of you is it?

Which one of you
Is the fbi agent?

Why do you think one of us
Is an fbi agent?

God will forgive me
For what I must do.

I--i don't know
What you're talking about.

One of you does.

Who is it?

Me.

It's me.

Oh! Ohh!

Unh!

[weapon cocks]

Unh! Unh!

I told you not to put me
In this position!

Unh! Uhh!

Aah...

Unh!

We gotta go in.

We'd be risking the lives
Everyone in there.

Cyrus: get up!

Uhh! Ohh! Uhh!

Proverbs 20:30 tells us blows
And wounds cleanse away evil.

Unh! Uhh!

I can take it.

Oh, you can take it?

Ohh!

Wait--wait. Listen--
Listen to what she's saying.

I can take it.

She's antagonizing him.

She's not talking to him.

She's talking to us.

She's telling us
Not to come in.

Pride comes
Before the fall.

Uhh!

Unh! Uhh...

Tie her up.
Put her upstairs.

You should have told cyrus
Who you were.

He's a prophet. He predicted satan's
armies Would come and lay siege to us.

There's a name For that kind
of prophecy-- Self-fulfilling.

You don't know how dangerous
It is to lie to him.

I know it would take
A brave woman to defy him,

Knowing the consequences.

And that that woman Would have to
have A damn good reason to do it.

Did you know she was fbi?

Nancy told me the woman Was a child
abuse interview Expert from denver.

In the 4 years
I've worked with her,

Nancy never lied to me before.

As far as you know.

Their law says that A
15-year-old girl Is a child.

50 years ago,
That same law

Said a 14-year-old
Was an adult.

Have children changed
So much in 50 years?

I can't tell you The number of
times I've Investigated abuse charges

Against small
Religious groups.

Almost all of them turn out
To be false.

What do you think of that?

It doesn't really matter
What I think.

It does to me.

Why?

Because god
Wants to save you.

I mean, that's
Why he sent you here.

That's the reason.

On the next call,
You should...test them.

Test the negotiator.

Make him prove
That he isn't a liar.

How would you suggest
I do that?

Ask for the identity
Of the fbi agent.

No. We already know
Her identity.

Cyrus: they don't know that.

Yeah, but the fbi
Would never tell us.

Reid: they keep on asking
You to release people,

Tell him
You'll release a kid,

And you won't harm
The agent,

And if they really care About the
children, They'll have to tell you.

You're trying to get us
To release a child.

It's one kid. If they don't
hold up Their end of the deal,

You know
They can't be trusted.

He has a point.

Rossi: reid has him.

What is it, christopher?

Some have been
Talking about...

Leaving.

Leaving?

Yeah.

Wake the baby.

Let's let them Meet the
orphan That they've made.

[telephone ringing]

Rossi:
How you doing today, ben?

I will release a child

If you tell me the identity
Of the fbi agent.

I promise no harm will come
To them from this point forward.

I can't give you
That information.

I will send the child now.

Hey, it's ok. It's ok.

Come to me, sweetie.

You're safe now.

We got her, hotch.

Rossi: we're taking
A big risk here, ben.

Trust is earned.

Her name name
Is emily prentiss.

She came in with 2 child service
workers To talk to the girls.

There's a good chance
We can work this out, dave.

I'm gonna provide
Another sign of good faith.

You're doing
A good thing here.

Assemble everyone
In the chapel.

Get agent prentiss down here.

It has come to my attention

That some of our brothers And
sisters have lost Their faith in god.

That they no longer love us.
They want to abandon us.

So when I call out your name,
Please stand.

Todd sutters.

Melanie sutters...

He looks pissed.

Nathan sutters.
Evan radley.

It's not as bad as it looks.

I'm so sorry.

Sean ebbins.

Sherry gelman.

Look at who he's releasing.

Wyatt rayborn.

It's the ones who failed
The loyalty test.

Doris beasley.

I'll get word
To the team.

Wait for a sign
From outside

To indicate what time
The raid will come.

Willis farwell.

I told her she shouldn't
Have lied to you like that.

To either of us.

Take her back.

Those of you that are standing,
Please collect your belongings

And report to the front
Hallway immediately.

We will surrender
Tomorrow, at noon.

I want the press there To
ensure that We're treated fairly.

We'll discuss the details
In our 7 a.m. Call.

I'll see you then, dave.
I look forward to it.

Oh, and one more thing.

Could you send some food in?

Sure.
What would you like?

Fried chicken,
All the fixin's.

You got it.

Cole: I don't understand.
Why did you let them go?

They weren't prepared To
do what needs To be done.

You're not one of us.

You don't know what it takes
To be prepared.

Listen to him.
Tell him.

They failed the test.

They--they had a chance
To prove their faith

When cyrus told them That they'd
sacrifice Themselves for god,

But instead they showed
They weren't worthy.

That's why he wants
The media

To bear witness To your
true final act Of sacrifice.

How do you know that?

I'm always
Looking for signs

Of things to come.

Reid's talking to us.

He wants a sign When we're coming
in. He's telling us this is it,

Time has run out.

We've got to go in.

Hotch: drugging the food Is not
an option Because of the children.

We have to go in.

Best time to hit them

Is when they're least
Mentally prepared.

3 a.m. Biorhythms are
At their low point then.

We need a diversion. Something
that plays Into his expectations.

Cyrus brought up waco.

Right.

I know exactly How to use
that. We need some humvees.

The plan depends
On reid and prentiss

Separating the diehards
From the followers.

And delaying cyrus' diehards
From reacting to our assault.

That's not my main concern. Reid and
prentiss know What they need to do.

So what is your concern?

Letting them know
When we're coming.

The whole things hinges On them
being ready For us at 3 a.m.

Come on, guys, quick. We need
to get Those bugs in the boxes

Before it gets too cold.

Perfect.

Let's hope
It's just that easy.

If you can hear me,
I know you're coming.

I can try to get The women and
children Down to the tunnel,

But I need to know
When you're coming.

What is it?

Prentiss.
She's talking to us.

Prentiss: if you can hear me,
I know you're coming.

I can try to get The women and
children Down to the tunnel,

But I need to know
When you're coming.

Let's go.

I can try to get The women and
children Down to the tunnel,

But I need to know
When you're coming.

But I need to know
When you're coming.

If you can hear me,
I know you're coming. I can--

Ok. Ok. I got you.
What time? What time?

3 a.m.?

Understood.

Whew.

Reid is on the first floor
Somewhere with cyrus.

And, please, remember
There are children here.

Someone's coming.

Hold on, emily.

I know what you're thinking.

You don't have to be
A part of this.

You can go.

I think i'd prefer to stay.

Somebody needs to tell
Your story.

Then I'm glad
It'll be you.

Now that the false believers

Have been cleared
From our midst,

We make our
Final preparation.

Cyrus is planning
A mass suicide.

You made that 911 call.

This is all my fault.

None of this would have happened
If I hadn't of made that call.

You were trying
To protect your daughter.

There were other girls
Before jessie.

He--he would marry them
In secret,

And after a while
He'd take another.

And we weren't permitted
To speak of it.

And so when she asked
For my consent,

I wanted to just
Take her and run.

But I was afraid
She wouldn't leave him.

You wanted us to take her?

Well, i--i wanted
To save her from cyrus.

I can give you
Another chance.

The fbi is coming here
At 3 a.m.

I need you to gather Jessica,
the kids, The other women--

Get them into the basement
Just before 3 a.m.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I have faith That
you are a strong Enough woman

To do the right thing
For jessica.

I know I can't go in there.

I'm going.

If something happens
To prentiss or reid, i...

I don't know.

You're not alone.

What is it?

Come on. Come on.

You were right. They're
setting The place to blow up.

I told jessie cyrus Wanted her
to gather The women and children.

Where is the man
I came in with?

He's in the chapel
With cyrus.

It's 2:45, though.
We gotta hurry.

Something's wrong.

They lied to us.

Should we do it now?

No.

Let them get closer.

Cyrus, what are you doing?

Making sure
The press is watching.

They're gonna want
To see this.

This is it.

The moment of faith.

Go. Go. Go. Go.

It came from
Inside the building.

Go check the fuses.

Go.

Emily. Emily, you all right?

They've wired
Explosives.

Everyone--
Everybody, come on.

Let's go!
This way!

Ok. This building's
Gonna blow up.

Where's reid?

He's in the chapel
With cyrus.

We gotta get you
Out of here.

No. We've gotta
Get reid!

Prentiss, I will get reid.

Get out of here.
Get to safety. Go now.

Cyrus didn't call for this.

You lied to me!

No! Cyrus lied
To you, honey.

He can't--he's my husband!

No!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

No!

I will get her for you.

Rossi, get her out of here.

Torre, get your boys.
Let's do this now.

Jeremiah 29:11-- "i have
for you," Declares the lord,

"plans to prosper you
And not to harm you.

Plans to bring you hope
And a future."

Is blowing yourself up Part of the
prosperous future That god wants?

You think you know
The word better than i?

No. I'm just demonstrating
That you can use the bible

To manipulate anything.

Matthew 10:24--

"do not suppose that I have
come to the earth To bring peace.

I did not come to bring
Peace but a sword."

Ohh!

You cannot convert
My brothers.

No one had to follow.

God could have stopped me.

[gunfire]

He just did.
Clear!

Morgan: you all right, kid?

Fine. Where's emily?
We got her out of here.

Sweetheart, come with me. We need
to get you out of Here. Come on.

Let's go right now.

Run!

Let's go! Let's go!
Moving through.

Come on.
Keep moving, please.

Keep moving.

Come on through.

Come over here.
Come on.

You'll be all right.

Go straight back.

Reid! Morgan?

Reid? Morgan?

[coughing]

Morgan: we're ok.

Ok.

Ohh.

[coughing]

Hotch: I think
All the kids are out.

Rossi: where's jessie?

Prentiss:
"reason is not automatic.

Those who deny it
Cannot be conquered by it."

Ayn rand.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

I need you to listen to me.

What cyrus did to me
Is not your fault.

It was my decision,
And I would do it again.

Do you hear me?

Thank you.
