Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 5, Episode 4 - Hopeless - full transcript

Yo, hurry up!

Don't start without me.

Move your ass.
come on.

I'm gettin' your damn beer.

Shut up!

Shut up, woman.
shut up?

Oh, me shut up, huh?

Shut up, everyone.

Will, is that you?

Will?

Here he comes.



Will?

Ohh!
ohh!

Ohh! ohh!

He's down.

Go on, get up.

Get up.

Don't be stupid.

We don't want any trouble.

Take whatever you want.

I don't care
what you want.

There's no reason
to hurt anyone.

Here it comes.

No!

No.



That had to hurt.

How could you possibly...

Know what my reasons are?

Our boy's trying to get up.

Which one of them
belongs to you?

Let me guess.

Oh, please don't hurt him!
Please.

It could be her.

Kiss your husband
goodbye.

William...

Why are you doing this?

Why?!

Why not?

Ooh!

Did you get that?

I got it, baby.

Uh-huh. And how many dead?

Ok. Yeah, we'll be there
as soon as we can.

Thanks.

Well, I gotta go.

Let me guess.
Don't get comfortable.

We've got 4 dead
in a home invasion.

Where we headed?

It's local.
Southeast D.c.

What was
the cause of death?

Blunt force trauma.
No knife, no gun.

Have we been invited in?

Yeah. Cops want us to meet them
at the crime scene.

Isn't Southeast where all that
vandalism's been lately?

Same area, yeah.
Think they could be connected?

I don't know. I mean, the weapon
doesn't exactly fit

the typical m. o. of a home
invasion killer.

Well,
it's worth considering.

It's common for vandalism
to escalate into violence.

Plus there's a lot
of anger out there.

That neighborhood's
mostly black working class.

Yeah. Now it's being
gentrified

While the people who live there
are having a tough time.

Were the victims wealthy?

Yeah, it was two couples.

The were both part of the influx
of new wealth in the area.

Police report a robbery?

Nothing was taken.

What race
were the victims?

One couple was white,
the other black.

Not racially motivated.

JJ, find Rossi and Reid,
tell them we leave in 5.

Well, if this is related
to vandalism,

4 dead is a hell of
an escalation.

So there's the potential for a
lot more bodies out there?

That's what I'm afraid of.

Kingman Brewster Jr. said,

"there is no lasting hope
in violence,

Only temporary relief
from hopelessness. "

Detective Andrews?

Hi. Jennifer Jareau.

These are agents Rossi,
Morgan,

Hotchner, Prentiss,
and dr. Reid.

Thanks for getting here
so fast.

What can you tell us?

Looks like one of the victims
was attacked

when he got out of his car.

Meaning whoever did this
probably used his keys

to get inside
and surprise the other victims.

Who found the bodies?

The cleaning woman.

She's giving her statement now.

Dave, would you, Morgan,
and Prentiss go inside?

We'll cover out here.

I know you're all
used to this,

but, uh, it's a hell
of a sight in there.

Whoever did this
ain't human.

The neighbors
see anything?

Oh, you know,
the patrol cars

are even doubled
in this area

because of the vandalism-
nothing.

The unsub would have to be
extremely fast and efficient.

Look at this. There's a pool
of blood here and then drops

as the victim
moves toward the door.

How big was the victim?

6'1", 6'2". Why?

Well, if he was strong enough
to move under his own power,

you'd expect signs
of a struggle.

And if not, there'd
most likely be drag marks.

He was carried.

That's a lot of dead weight
for one person to move alone.

There's no pool of blood
on the porch,

Which means they didn't
have to set him down

to open the door.

Victim one
gets dropped here.

While number 2
comes around the corner

to see what's happening,
and...

The unsub attacks him here.

The female victims
were probably here

when the first attack
occurred.

Which means somebody would have
to control them pretty quickly.

How many unsubs
are you thinking?

At least one
to move the body inside,

another one to take out
man number 2,

and one more
to subdue the others.

Well, vandalism breeds
a pack mentality.

If it is
the same unsubs,

we're looking at
a group of 3, maybe 4.

These aren't kids.

They're too efficient.

There's a control
and precision.

Juveniles are sloppy.

He's right.

There is nothing tentative
about these kills.

There's no experimentation.

These guys
know what they're doing.

I don't know.

What are you thinking?

I can understand vandalism
escalating into violence,

but that's usually gradual.

And assault,
a single murder maybe,

but come on, this?

This feels fully evolved.

September 3rd,

15 luxury cars had
their windows smashed.

September 14th,

a new upscale clothing
boutique was vandalized.

September 24th,

two different restaurants,

both catering
to a wealthy clientele,

had their front windows smashed

and their interiors torn apart,
and finally, October 1st,

a newly renovated townhome

was ransacked before
the family could move in.

So they went from attacking
public property

to a private residence,
but no victim.

The question is, what makes them
move from that... to this?

The vandalism targets
were all symbols

of the neighborhood's changing
makeup and economy.

Maybe there's something
specific about these victims

that set the unsubs off.

I've spoken to the victims'
family members.

They've agreed to come in
and help however they can.

Garcia, check
social networking sites.

See if these unsubs have
coordinated these attacks online.

If they dare tweet, I shall flush
them out like a bird dog, sir.

We need to be asking
how these unsubs

manage to not stand out
in this neighborhood.

Each of these crime scene
locations are a representation

of new wealth and status,

but the area surrounding
the crime scenes

are still populated
by long-time residents

who are slowly
being pushed out.

That's a lot of
disenfranchised people

who are all part of
the neighborhood makeup.

Most likely these unsubs
don't stand out

because they're probably
local themselves.

I don't know.
I'm with Rossi.

I mean, anger I get,
but this much violence?

We're looking at
at least 3 men

with an incredible
amount of rage.

Where do you hide that?

Turner. You care to tell
the lady why it's October 14th

and she's still not ready
to move into her house?

Not particularly.

What did you just say?

It's ok. Really.

No, it's not.

Why don't you apologize
to the lady?

Answer the question.

My apologies, ma'am.

Found a slight flaw
in the foundation.

Hate to think of you
home all alone at night,

suddenly the whole place

just collapses
underneath you.

Ok.

Now get back
to the drywall.

That's what I pay you for.

Let somebody else worry
about the foundation.

I had Garcia run records
on anyone in the target area

Who in the last year was
foreclosed upon, filed for bankruptcy,

or applied for unemployment
and then narrowed that list down

to men between the ages
of 25 and 45.

And?

713 hits.

Victims' families are here.

I'm very sorry
about your son.

We're looking to see
if there's a pattern

or if your son's killing
was truly random.

So, there were no threats
that you knew of?

No.

I understand this is
very difficult for you.

We're just trying to
make some sense of it.

Please.

Ms. Barnes, do you
need some more time?

Um... They said I could see
William's body if I wanted to.

I don't see what good
could come from that.

It was just you
and your brother?

Our parents died
a few years ago.

I'm sorry.

I know that sounds like
something people say,

But... I truly am sorry.

You deal with cases
like this all the time.

Yes, I do.

So it's routine for you.

There's nothing routine about what
you're going through, Ms. Barnes.

Do you have brothers
and sisters?

I have two sisters.

What would you do if something
like this happened to one of them?

I would do everything in my power
to catch the people who did it.

Will?

Is that you?
will?

Check this out.

* Who has got it figured out *

Hey.

* left, right, left, right *

Whoa, man.

* Who's got it figured out,
play straight *

* tryin' to manipulate *

Our boy's tryin' to get up.

Please, don't hurt him!

That's pretty wicked.

Yeah.

Will.

Oh! oh!

Hey, come look at this.

What did you just say?

What's his problem?

Our boy's tryin'
to get up.

Please, don't hurt him!

Please.

I say we go out.

Why are you doing this?

Why?!

Why not?

Aah!

Did you get that?

I got it.

You think?

People might see.

So?

I go first.

This your car?

Yeah.

It's nice.

Look, I'm just picking up
my girlfriend.

What the hell, man!

Shh.

Did anybody see anything?

It's in the middle
of the damn parking lot.

What about the security cam?

It's only on the door.

Who's the lady
over there?

Manager. She discovered
the bodies

when she came by to open up
for the breakfast crowd.

I'll go talk to her.

Any idea
who the victims are?

Judging by the driver's license,

one of them's a waitress here.
it says Jessica Miller,

And the other one's
probably Doug Taylor.

You can't tell for sure?

Honestly, you can't
make an I.D.

by looking at them.

Hotch.

I didn't even know
what it was at first

when I pulled up.

They're definitely
getting bolder.

These kills
were in public.

If this is supposed to be about
symbolism, it's not anymore.

This is a blue collar restaurant,
the victim is a waitress.

There's no ideology
behind this.

It's about violence
and power.

They actually sat here and
drank beer after the murders.

They're telling us
that they don't care.

They're like those outlaws
that ride into town

and let you know the
only way to stop them

is by killing them.

If that's what they want,
I know plenty of cops

who'd be happy to oblige.

Detective, we need
to keep our heads.

Meaning what?

Meaning that this level
of nihilism,

this randomness,
it can have a mirror impact.

Are you warning me not to
go after some kind of revenge?

All I'm saying
is this level of brutality

is almost like a challenge
from the unsubs,

trying to drag everyone
down to their level.

And it's a natural reaction.

I'm just doing my job.

Let's head back.
we've got our profile.

How bad?

Bad bad.

You have company.

Ms. Barnes.

Hi.

Sorry for just
showing up like this.

I heard on the news that
there were more victims

and I didn't know where else
to get answers.

Please.

Thank you.

So is it true? Was it the same
people who killed William?

Yes.

Do you have
any suspects?

No, but we do have a profile
of who these men might be.

Two of our agents are giving it
to the police right now

and we're getting it
to all the news outlets.

Can you explain it
to me?

Please.

Basically, these men are
completely disenfranchised.

They feel like they have
nothing to live for.

And they're looking for
anyone or anything to blame.

There's a lot of anger
out there. Times are tough.

But even so, these men
will stand out.

They'll look to provoke
confrontation.

Any excuse, they'll take it.

They don't steal
from their victims.

They don't sexually
assault the women.

This is about violence
for violence's sake.

It's almost contagious.
it's twisted.

But it's got
its own momentum.

What we need to do is figure
out how these men came together.

We feel certain that they have
some connection to Southeast D.c.

They go unnoticed.

They don't seem
out of place.

We have no prints
from the crime scenes,

So we believe that
the unsubs wear gloves.

DNA testing
could take weeks,

and we don't have
that kind of time.

The majority of the population
of Southeast is black,

but if the unsubs
work in this area,

they could be any race.

Because of the physical nature
of the murders

and the amount of control these
unsubs exert over their victims,

we believe that
these unsubs are large

or at least extremely
physically fit.

And they have
a pack mentality.

Canvass the local bars
and restaurants.

See if there's a group of men
who fit this description.

And these men will be obsessed
with the media coverage.

Any chance
to relive their crimes.

So stake out
the past crime scenes.

There's a good chance
that they'll revisit them.

They most likely come
from troubled backgrounds,

broken homes,
youth detention centers.

They probably bonded
over their anger.

And now it's like
they've become one person.

It's their whole identity.

See, these guys,
they think of themselves

as some type of gangsters,

like society's rules don't
apply to them.

They equate violence
with power and respect.

And that goes for
self-respect as well.

What could they possibly get
out of killing innocent people

for no reason?

People like this,
they're not like you and me.

They don't feel empathy.

In a way, they only feel alive

when they're creating
fear and chaos.

And your profiles, they
help catch these people?

They do.

Thank you for helping me
through this.

Of course.

Detective.

I just wanted to say
that at the crime scene

it was not my intention to
accuse you of being unprofessional.

Yeah?

It's just that
I know what it's like

to work a case that
makes you question humanity,

and it's not the worst thing
to remind yourself

to rise above it a little,
or we lose ourselves.

I appreciate you giving
the men the profile.

Oh, no.

Sir, I've got something.

I've been monitoring
social networking sites

to see if the unsubs
communicate electronically.

Right.
There's a text that's blowing up.

I sent it to your phone.

There's over a thousand
hits already.

It's a plan to vandalize
cars and restaurants

around Dupont Circle.

When does the text say
this is supposed to happen?

Tonight, 9:00.

Dupont Circle's not in the
unsubs' usual comfort zone.

And it's not like these
unsubs to share control.

Detective Andrews,
this is agent Hotchner.

I just sent you a text
to which we've been alerted.

Right.

Absolutely.
we're on our way.

You will be arrested if you
do not disperse.

We got wagons
at every entry point.

They're filling them up faster
than I can bring them to holding.

What happened?

My men went to make arrests,
people started resisting,

I called for reinforcements.

Do you know who
the instigators are?

There's no rhyme or reason
I can tell.

Confiscate the cell phones.

When we get to the origins
of the text message,

you'll have your ringleaders.

They're still notifying families
and processing most of the rioters.

Did Garcia come up
with anything?

Yeah. She was able to isolate
the first 2 cell phones

in the chain.

Detective, we don't think
our unsubs are in there,

but we'd still like to
interrogate

the possible ringleaders.

I don't think so.

But we need to eliminate them
absolutely as suspects.

We can handle it
on our own.

We're not saying
you can't.

Is there a problem?

You guys had my men out there
canvassing bars looking for adults

when I could have been doing gang
sweeps, going through juvenile records.

That would have been
a waste of your time.

In case you hadn't noticed,
those are kids out there.

We don't believe
last night's riot

is connected
to the murders.

Oh? How could it not be?

Because the unsubs
we're looking for are older.

They operate entirely
out of Southeast D.C.

They exercise extreme
control over their victims,

and violence is up close
and personal.

None of what happened here
last night fits the profile.

Enough with the profile. I got probably
a million dollars worth of damage.

I got two cops injured.

Which was probably made worse
by police overreaction.

Meaning what?

I warned you. Cases like this,
people get too emotional.

You're here as a guest
of my department.

We're only
trying to help.

If you're so sure none of
those kids are the killers,

why bother
interrogating them at all?

Because
we need to be certain.

If we're right, if this is just some
sort of teenage dare,

I guarantee you
that the unsubs

are going to respond
very quickly.

I appreciate your insight,

But we'd like to take things
from here on our own.

Thank you
for everything you've done.

You're gonna want to start
with these 2 names.

You're not helping. I want to
speak to the officer in charge.

Ms. Barnes.

I need someone to tell me
what's going on.

We're trying
to figure it out.

Are those the ones
who killed William?

No, they're not.

But they started the riot.

They're just a bunch
of stupid kids.

Yeah, who vandalize
and attack people at random.

I told you these things
have their own momentum.

Are you sure?

I'm sorry.

So did you all
have fun, huh?

Do you even care
that someone died?

Ms. Barnes, you really need
to calm down.

That's not true.
no, no one cares.

No one cares. someone
dies and it's all

just a game or a job
and everyone just moves on.

That's not true.
People do care, and I care.

They killed my brother
for no reason!

Please.

Let me walk you outside
and get you some air. Please.

Walk with me.

It's ok.

It's all right.

I've logged into
police dispatch

for the area
you've isolated.

If anything's reported,
we'll know when they know.

Wait, are we staying
on the case?

We all know that these unsubs
are gonna react to last night's riot.

But Emily's right.
They asked us to step aside.

Andrews is a good cop. He's just
too emotional right now.

If we don't stay on, with
or without his permission,

he and all the rest of us
will regret it.

Where's Morgan?

Uh, he's with ms. Barnes.

Huh.

You sure you're gonna be
all right?

You know, I'm not crazy,
Really.

Tamara, you've been
through a trauma,

and you're
processing a lot.

It's normal
to lose it a little.

Thank you.

For everything.

I'm just doing my job.

No, you're...

You're a good person.

So how's this gonna end?

What?

The investigation.
I mean, what happens?

Well, if I had to guess,

Last night's riots- Our unsubs
aren't gonna like it.

This is their
whole identity.

They're not gonna like
sharing the attention.

So more people are gonna die.

They're killing
in a small area.

Our profile is solid.

Somebody
will recognize them.

You don't think it's gonna be
that easy.

I really need to get
back to my team.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Thank you for, uh,
driving me home.

You're welcome.

Agent Morgan.

Do you think you can
get these guys?

We're closing in.

And they're bound to start
feeling it.

See, guys like this,
when they feel trapped,

they most likely
commit suicide by cop.

Good.

Where the hell do you
think you're going?

I talked to the beat cops.

They're getting word out
to local businesses

to keep an eye out for
anyone who seems agitated

By the news of
last night's riot.

By now, Andrews has to know

That none of those kids
are the unsubs.

Then he's bound to beef up police
presence in the Southeast.

We should be there, too.

The faster we can react,
the more we can help.

Do you think the unsubs
know about the riot?

Front page news.
I don't know how they can't.

And if the profile's right?

Their reaction's gonna be
quick and it's gonna be brutal.

Basically, it's like knowing
that lightning is gonna strike

but not being able
to pinpoint where.

* The summer wind *

* came blowing in *

3 drafts.

* from across the sea *

* and lingered there... *

I'm sorry, you can't
have that in here.

What?

This?

It's a liability issue,
that's all,

in case somebody gets hurt.

* and then we strolled *

* that golden sand... *
no problem.

* two sweethearts
and the summer wind *

Hey.

Can we have a talk?

Yeah. What's up?

Uh, first I would like
to say that I love you,

And I-I-the thing I love
the most about you

is how much you care
about people-

Garcia, what?

What's going on?

I think you need to cut
contact with Tamara Barnes.

I didn't make contact
with her.

She was at the police station.

Yeah, ok, look me
in the eye and tell me

that the first break
in this case

you don't run right to her
and give her the news yourself.

Penelope, she lost her brother.
She just wants answers.

I get it. I volunteer
counseling these families.

I know what
she's going through.

Then where is this
coming from?

Ok, Let's just ignore
the whole ethical dilemma,

'cause that's
just too, too big.

And if you were
to testify on this case,

the whole thing
would unravel

if anyone were to find out
that you're involved

with a member
of the victim's family.

Whoa, stop.

I love you,

And I respect you.
You know that.

But right now
you're way out of bounds.

I'm not involved.

The team is here
working on a case,

and you're with her.

You're involved.

For your information,

she lost it
back at the station,

so I drove her home.

End of story.

But not for her.
Derek,

She's so sad and
so confused and angry

and desperately looking for anyone
to swoop in and make it all better,

and unless you're
all in and can be there

for every stage
of the grieving process,

you're just another reason for her
to not trust the world.

She's simply trying to
understand why this happened.

There is no why, and she'll make
herself crazy trying to find one.

Don't tell me.

Bar in Southeast, 2 dead.

They're waiting for you.

I got to go.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

Detective, we can argue
about this later.

Right now you have a crime scene
and we're here to help.

They nailed the bartender's
hands to the bar first.

Other bastard
got off easier.

They just plain beat him.

I'm getting real sick
of us being right

and it just not mattering.

What?
This is weird.

The unsubs
are extremely physical.

They beat their victims mercilessly
with blunt objects.

Why aren't these nails
pounded in?

Probably used a nail gun.

With all the gentrification
and turnover in housing

in the neighborhood, what's
a common sight these days?

Builders, contractors, and
construction workers.

We wouldn't give it
a second thought.

Wait a minute.

Killing 4 people in that
first home invasion-

that never made sense to me.

Unsubs build
to something like that.

What if this wasn't
their first murder?

The first two rounds of vandalism,
they were typical.

Car windows smashed, restaurants with
the plate glass broken.

But that last case,
right before the home invasion,

that was a random
construction site.

A single-family townhouse.

Prentiss, you flagged it
yourself.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, Garcia.

I need the address on that
townhouse that was vandalized.

I don't understand
how we can help.

Sir, we believe that whoever
vandalized your house

is responsible for
the murders in the area.

Oh, I know.
We've read the papers.

But, honestly, that's not something
we're gonna think about right now.

We also think
it's possible

that your home was
vandalized for a reason.

What do you mean?

May we?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

We believe there may
have been another murder

before the first one
the police became aware of.

You think there might be a
body hidden here, on our property?

It's possible. At the very least,
the men we're looking for

may have worked here.

Oh, my god.

Were there any issues with
workers during construction?

No, nothing.

Did anyone appear
overly confrontational?

I just had contact with our
contractor, and he was friendly.

I understand people come
and go during construction,

but was there anyone at all
that you may have noticed

suddenly wasn't around?

Oh, no.

What is it?

The contractor
I mentioned...

After the vandalism, we called him
to oversee the repairs.

He never called us back.

The police report said
that every room

in the house
was destroyed except one.

Yeah, they smashed every room except
the nursery. That one they didn't touch.

We need to see it.

This wall is structural.

I wouldn't ask you this unless
I felt it was incredibly important.

I need to open up
this wall.

No.

We can't live here
and not know.

Ma'am,

I promise you, even if i have
to do every bit of the work myself,

this wall will be repaired

and it'll go right back to
being exactly what you want.

Please?

Ok.

This is agent Emily Prentiss
with the FBI.

I need an SCSI unit.

We've got a body.

I can't be here.

Let's move over here.

Is there someplace
the two of you can stay?

Yes. We have friends
I can call.

After you give
the police a statement,

They can take you
to your friends' house.

Thank you.

You think they'll be ok?

I don't know.

I mean, you redo
your dream home,

about to start a new chapter
of your life,

and then this?

How did you know?

The other crime scenes
were brutal.

But it also had control.

They took their time,
that type of m. o.

had to start before
the home invasions.

This entire place was destroyed
except this room. Why?

Because they took the time
to rebuild the wall

once they buried the contractor.

Exactly.

If they smashed
this place up,

he could have been
discovered.

but still, a body
inside the wall?

It's like
a builders tradition.

You leave a little
something behind

to send a message to the people who may
do work down the road.

Front page
of a newspaper.

A photo of the
construction crew.

It's like
a time capsule.

Ok.

Ok, so what would you need
to rebuild this wall?

Drywall, brickwork,

electrical?

I'm gonna call Garcia.

Hey, girl.

Hey.

Are we good?

Yeah, we're good.

Ok.

What do you need?

Ok, pull up the address of
the townhouse that was vandalized.

Got it.

Ok. Give me work permits
for the contractor.

That would be... James Morris.

Is he our unsub?

No, actually, I'm afraid
he's our first victim.

Does it list Morris'
subcontractors?

Yes, it does.

All right, I need all the names
and addresses

for whoever was hired to do the
electrical, brickwork, and drywall.

That would be
3 names, one address.

So they do live together.

Yeah. 5058 B Street
near Anacostia,

Particulars coming
to you... now.

Thanks, babe.

We were right.

They're a pack.

We go in first.

It's your case.

Police!

FBI!

Move!

Get him down!

Ow! Ow!

Where are the other two?

You gotta be kidding me,
right?

Dave.

You like that, sir?

I got more.

Where are the others?

Go to hell.

Garcia, I need vehicle information
on all the residents.

Get him up.

Got it.

APB-station wagon,

D.C. plate
7-4-delta-alpha-4.

I also need to know if they're
registered on any jobs right now.

I got a visual on
the station wagon

Just south of 8th, heading toward
Half Street, Southeast.

That's right next to
their current work site.

You know what gets me?

See, we figured you were
down and out, pissed off.

But you're out here working.

What is so god-awful
about your life

that you gotta take it out
on the rest of the world?

It was fun, boss.

Deploy tactical units
922 Half Street, Southeast.

Thanks.

We got 'em.

Forget him, Morgan.
He's nothing.

Let's go.

How many we got?

25, maybe 30.

That ought to do it.

I got snipers up high,
I got a team around back.

Once we're sure there's
not a hostage inside,

I'll give the order
to breach.

You leaving?

You've got this under control.

Is he just gonna
walk away?

Looks like it.

Just when I thought he was
back on top of his game.

You got at least 2 dozen cops,

all looking for revenge.

You got two
psychopaths inside,

ready to play out
their fantasy end.

You want to take
your shot...

Take it.

Our job is done.

Is it time?

What the hell, right?

Just keep your head up and you
hold this son of a bitch out front

Like it's a gun.

Hey.

I just wanted to come by and
let you know that it was over.

We got 'em.
