Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 6, Episode 17 - Valhalla - full transcript

When a series of killings occur on the BAU's home turf, Prentiss realizes that Ian Doyle is responsible.

Previously on Criminal Minds...

lan Doyle vanished from prison.
INTERPOL can't find him.

- Am I in danger?
- We all are.

As far as Doyle is concerned,

Lauren Reynolds
died in a car accident.

You died, and we're all good.

How did he get past security checks?

He chartered a private jet.

- He used an alias.
- He sent me flowers.

I think it's safe
to assume he's coming here.

Hello, Lauren.



Oh, wait. Lauren Reynolds died
in a car accident, didn't she?

I was doing my job.

You took the only thing
that mattered to me,

so I'm going to take
the only thing that matters to you...

your life.

A strong storm is expected to hit

the Eastern seaboard
within the next 72 hours.

Could be a bad one.
Let's see how it's looking right now.

Now, what we have
is an area of low pressure

that's getting stronger and moving
off the Eastern seaboard.

Then comes the fear of damage...

5:30 on the dot, as promised.

And at the same time,
another heavy snowfall event

will create travel chaos and power outages
throughout the district.



Cold air moves in...

Getting ready for the storm.
Can you believe it?

Hey, I'm talking to you!

Don't make me come and get you.

I used to fit into this.

I blame your cooking.

It's just too damn fine.

Like your ass.

Now let's go. We're late.

Hmm.

Frank? Honey, you okay?

Frank?

Frank!

I love you.

Please, please, my family
has done nothing to you.

Please, I beg you.
Why are you doing this?

Please, my son. My son. Let my son go.

He's innocent.

Bonsoir.

You okay?

Lan Doyle is here in D.C.

How can you be so sure?

I sat next to him last night.

What?

He said if I warned my team
or told anyone, he'd kill them.

Why didn't he kill you?

And more to the point,
why didn't you kill him?

He's not working alone.

Then he's just playing with you.

No, no, he's a power assertive psychopath.
He doesn't play games.

He's meticulous.

He plans everything
down to the last detail.

Yeah, that last detail being you.

Maybe you should tell your team.

No. No way. This isn't their fight.

And I won't take that risk.

We stay together, we can get him.

We already tried.

Look how that ended up.

Wait. Wait.
When you went undercover,

- I promised no one would harm you.
- I'm not undercover anymore.

D.C. Isn't his comfort zone.
It's mine.

This ends here.

Two D.C. Homes torched.

Two families on the same night...
last night.

I'm surprised it still hasn't hit the news.

It's already mid-day.

Yeah. All anyone's talking about

is this storm that may or may not hit.

I managed to find an online
article about the fires,

written by this guy Jeff Hastings,

but no one's running with it.

How strange.
They usually thrive on tragedy.

Yeah, and it gets weirder.

Ron and Lauren Cosenza
and their 10-year-old son

were found in the master bedroom of their
home, each shot through the forehead.

The gun belonged to the father.

Murder-suicide?

Well, it looks like Metro P.D.'s investigation
is going that way,

but it's still the first 48.
They want our help.

Kerry and Frank Fagan,
like the Cosenzas,

were found in their master bedroom

from a suspected gas leak.

It had to be massive to cause that.

How does the news
miss a house explosion?

Any connection between the families?

Only one. A continent.

Kerry Fagan was born in Germany,

Ron Cosenza is from Italy.

So two of the five victims are from Europe.
How does that help?

It doesn't. I'm just stating the facts,
and the facts happen to be...

Guys, I'm sorry I'm late.

You okay?

Yeah, it's just one of those weeks, I guess.

I'm sorry. What did I miss? Arsonist?

One appears to be murder-suicide,
the other a freak accident.

So why are we looking at it?

House fires are rare.

Add to that a few miles apart,

within the same hour,

kind of tips the scales of coincidence.

Yeah, if somebody did this,
they're highly motivated and organized.

And if he wants to strike again,
he's got 72 hours

before the storm shuts the city down.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What's his name?
- I'm sorry?

Oh, answering a question with a question.
That's interesting.

- Stop it.
- Stop what, probing?

Seriously.

I'm gonna make it my life's work
to find out who this boy is...

Stop. Just stop.

We have enough to worry
about already, don't we?

Lao Tzu said, "When I let go of what I am,

I become what I might be. "

Okay, thanks.

That was weird. They're not coming.

There was some mix-up with Metro P.D.,
and we're on our own.

What do you got?

Well, the fire didn't spread

because they had
hard-wired smoke alarms

and a sprinkler system.

What's with the security?

Why the steel door?
What did he do for a living?

Oh, computer networking,

and the Fagans were financial advisors.

These neighborhoods
don't require anything

more than an average deadbolt,

certainly nothing on the bedroom doors.

It's like a panic room.

Yeah, but there's nothing
in this room that's hi-tech.

There's no surveillance cameras,
average alarm system.

In an average area,

but he had a 40-caliber and a load of locks.

- What was this guy afraid of?
- Or who.

Maybe himself.

If he actually killed his family,
then he's been hiding something.

There is no history
of any kind of psychological weirdness

with either family.

They were healthy, happy, fit.

Until last night.

Any signs of financial stress?

No. They were healthy
on that front, too.

What's with the...

Oh. The heat is out in my lair.

Not a single snowflake has fallen,

and yet the weather remains
the top news story.

Nothing about these cases?

No. They're bound to get hip to it.

Once our presence is felt
and we connect the cases,

it'll be a ballroom blitz.

- hmm.
- What is it?

You know,
considering the time these fires occurred,

The habitual patterns of both families

were in direct conflict
with where the bodies were found.

The master bedroom.

Yeah, normally Lauren Cosenza
would be downstairs

helping her son with his homework,

and Ron wouldn't even
be home from work yet.

- What about the Fagans?
- Their routines were less established.

They traveled a lot,
but they were expected

at a dinner party last night.

If someone did this,
what are the chances

these victims are random?

What do you think?

Two families, same night,
mysterious deaths.

Doesn't happen every day.

The gas leak at the Fagan house

and then the other fire
suspected to be set

by Mr. Cosenza to cover
the murder-suicide.

Well, I know the investigators
reported that,

but it doesn't fit with what I found.

The Cosenza family didn't
have any smoke in their lungs.

He killed them, set the fire,
then killed himself. That fits.

He didn't have signs
of smoke inhalation, either.

Even though the fire started
in the master bedroom?

He should have had traces of smoke,

even if it was a minute
before he pulled the trigger on himself.

He was dead when the fire started.

Garcia hasn't found
any connection between the victims.

There has to be one.

On paper they're perfect.

Everything's clean,

but what happened to them
last night was anything but.

You okay?

People text like it's not as intrusive
as a phone call.

You know, you haven't
had a vacation in a while.

Weren't you talking about Italy?

My mother extended her trip there.

It wouldn't be much of a vacation.

- It's a big country.
- Not big enough.

Well, think about it.

I will.

And pick a place
where that thing won't work.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were in there.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm... I'm...

I'm sure these victims
overlap somehow.

Garcia pulled their phone numbers,
but so far I can't find anything.

You just jumped.

I've been having
these really intense headaches lately.

Have you seen a doctor?

Yeah, a few. None of them
have been able to figure it out.

Oh. I'm... Sorry.

Does anyone know?

You.

I won't tell anyone.

I know. They'd just worry.

Not that you're not gonna worry,

but they'll just make me
feel like a baby.

You know?

I do.

- How about you?
- I'm good.

You've been picking
your fingernails again.

Yeah.

You only do that when you're stressed.

It's just a bad habit.

Aha.

You coming?

Yeah. I'll be there in a minute.

The media blitz I promised never came.

The original online article

written by a one Mr. Jeff Hastings... pulled.

So with your permission, sir,
I would like to track him down

and figure out what the hell is going on.

- What's the connection?
- It's a small one.

Both families coach soccer on the Hill.

The Fagans didn't have children.

No. But Kerry Fagan coached
her godson's team.

The two victims from Europe
are the soccer coaches.

It makes sense, doesn't it?

I'm beginning to think
that they've crossed paths before.

I ran the victims' phone numbers.

They never contacted each other,

but there is a common
number between them.

- Give it.
- Uh, 703-555-0118.

Byron Delaney.
His wife Grace died last summer.

Children grown.

What do you know? He's British.

Garcia, send me the address.
I'll grab Prentiss.

Sent.

So what's your take on these guys?

They're contradicting themselves,

exposing bodies but then going
through all of this to hide it.

Do you think they wanted us on the case?

Us, the BAU? Why would they?

Ego. Control.

Some kind of agenda.

I don't think we're even on
their radar, Prentiss. Do you?

You're right. Why would we be?

Get the shoe back on.

- Hold up.
- What is it?

Black fella and a woman. White.

- Are they alone?
- Yeah.

- Is it her?
- Yeah.

You sure this is it?

Maybe nobody's home.

Garcia never got an answer.

Prentiss, get down!

Move! Move!

Keep moving.

Look out!

Let's go.

Get in the van.

Ohh!

No! Wait!

Go, go, go, go!

Well, this is one story
that's not gonna get buried.

He's just a kid.
He can't be more than 25.

A kid with an assault weapon
isn't just a kid anymore.

Four rounds total.

That one's yours.
You hit his femoral artery.

He was dead, and they knew it.

Bet he didn't bargain on that
when he signed up.

He's got two shots to the head
and then one in the wrist.

Why the wrist?

To make sure he can't return fire?

He was dead
before his head hit the sidewalk.

Prentiss.

He's got a tattoo,
at least what's left of one.

Huh.

They blew a hole through the tattoo

because we could have I.D.'d him.

So they're confident we can't I.D.
His face or prints.

No GSWs, no signs of strangulation.

Dave.

His shoe's untied.

Injected between the toes.

Made to look like a heart attack.

Armor tech windows,

Six-pin locks on the entrance door.

Same as the Fagans
and the Cosenzas.

20,000 in cash.

Passport. This guy was on the move.

Outgoing calls.

3218. That's Kerry Fagan.

10:30 A. M.

10:31, Delaney calls the Cosenzas.

Both calls last only seconds.

Didn't leave a message.
Didn't try to warn them.

Somebody warned him.

If not on the phone then in person.

Whatever these victims have in common
or whatever they were a part of,

it didn't happen on U.S. Soil.

Three of the six victims
are from Europe.

And the Mini-Beryl says they're serious.

We saw how they move.
They've got be ex-military.

European hit squad cleaning house?

It's happened before.

They could have taken us out easily.

Why didn't they?

FBI agents gunned down in D.C.

Would have definitely started a war,
a war this kid wasn't prepared for.

He's just a foot soldier.

Whoever shot him is the leader.

Someone must have warned
Byron Delaney to get out.

And whoever it is is next on the list.

Thank you.

"The Helmsman's Wife.

I just finished it. It's so sad.

I just started it.

Oh! Sorry.
It's a great read to that bit.

The end, the sad bit, with the wife...

super tragic, you know?

I do now.

- You're Jeff, right?
- You are...

Penelope Garcia. Nice to see you.

I'm sorry. I don't think we've met.

Oh, we haven't.

I've with the FBI.

Good for you.

Why did you pull that story?

You should know.

The FBI didn't tell you
to pull it, did they?

No, no, no, I'm not saying jack to you.

You already ruined
one ending for me.

Listen, two families died in those fires.

You were suspicious,
and you were right to be.

You don't look like an agent to me.

I'm a... hired nerd...

for the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

You think it's a serial killer?

I think that theory

should be at the beginning
part of your story.

There's no story.

Not... Not the one that I want to tell.

Okay, maybe not now,

but when whoever is telling you to pull it
is no longer a threat,

with the right source
it could be front page.

It could be the next Watergate.
It could lead to a book.

Your book.

The threat being to the shareholders.

Shareholders
that are affected detrimentally?

I think you mean financially.

Follow the money?

Oh, that sounds like
a very good ending.

For you, I mean.

Yes, it does.

Reid, you got anything?

The damage is pretty extensive,
but luckily some of the tattoo remains.

Seaver, get the victim's
photo out to the press.

I think I know who dug the hole.

The journo told me to follow the money,

Like straight up,
that's what he told me, so I did.

It turns out The Gazette

is owned by a multinational
global conglomerate...

oil, new technologies, shipping,

air and ground transportation,
all of which employ the services

of one company... CWS.

- Clear Water Securities?
- You know them?

I've come across them.

They're a private counterintelligence
group out of Geneva.

Ron Cosenza,
Byron Delaney, Kerry Fagan...

all worked for CWS.

- How long ago?
- Seven years.

Seaver, hang up.

Do we have a problem?

No, CWS does.

Got it.

Hey.

What's going on?

Are you okay?

Oh, uh, yeah, I'm good.

I'm not a profiler, but you...

Don't start.

I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm gonna be all right.

Okay.

I'm just really worried about you.

I think the flu is going around.

Are you pregs?

No. No.

No, I'm just... I'm not sleeping.

I'm having this nightmare.

It's a recurring nightmare.

There's a hill, and there's a little girl
on top of the hill.

She's, like, 6 years old,

dark hair,

and she's just dancing in the sun...

but somehow I know
that she's waiting for me,

so I start to walk up the hill...

but the hill gets steeper and steeper,

and by the time I climb to the top,

the little girl's gone,

and I look everywhere for her,

and when I can't find her,

I start to panic.

And I panic because I know

what's waiting out there for her.

I know what the world
can do to a girl

who only sees beauty in it.

Like you.

Somehow you...
you always make me smile,

and I don't think I've ever
thanked you for that.

Hotch needs you in the SCIF.

Okay.

Exactly why did you bring us here?

And why is the BAU
interested in CWS?

Why did you pull that story?

That's how you remember them,

and that is now they are now.

You warned your friend
Byron Delaney.

You knew him the longest.
It's too bad you were too late.

If you're looking for reactions,
this is our business.

Business?

Ugly as that sounds.

Kerry Fagan, Ron Cosenza,
and Byron Delaney,

they all worked for CWS.

As do 40,000 other subcontractors
all over the world.

So they were subcontracted to you.

If you're looking for answers,
take it up with the main contractor.

And that would be?

Your government.

Whoever is killing these families

holds your company responsible,
not the government.

We run operations
from the Middle East to Antarctica.

Going over them all will take months.

So you've already started investigations?

That's why you pulled the story.

The cases these people
were involved in are protected

by a multinational
official secrets agreement.

Even if I wanted to...

These people were killed on U.S. Soil

by trained suspects
who fired on federal agents.

As a courtesy and out of respect

for the predicament
your company now faces,

everything in this room is off the record.

However, outside this room,

if you withhold information
about the case,

you and your company
will be held fully accountable.

All right. What do you know?

We're looking for a European team,

with considerable training.

And for one of them, it's personal.

Why do you think that?

Because they could have spared the child,
but they chose not to.

The killing of Samuel Cosenza
by one of the team was personal.

One of the attackers shot last night

had the remains of a tattoo on his wrist.

On the surface, the tattoo may
look like a simple four-leaf clover.

But the stem has a "V" at the end.

We believe this is associated
with a hidden sect of fallen warriors.

It's also the name of a ship famous
for its journeys from Dublin to America,

the Valhalla.

Have you seen that before?

We ran an operation
to capture the leader

of a breakaway IRA faction years ago.

He assumed that moniker.

What's his name?

Lan Doyle.

Happy birthday, my love.

Okay, lan Doyle's officially
on everyone's list.

His mug is all over the place.

He's not gonna be able
to get out of the district

unless he sprouts wings himself.

It's not that I'm not happy
that we have his name,

but how are we supposed
to know who's on his list?

We study his life

and every single person
he's ever come in contact with.

Look, Doyle's been away for seven years,

but he still managed to figure
out who the players were.

Maybe we should start
with how he got out of prison.

- Well, where was he locked up?
- Russia, I think.

Actually, there are no
extradition papers on him.

Was Doyle on your radar
when you were at INTERPOL?

Uh, sure, I had heard of him,
but direct contact?

- I'd have to ask around.
- Do.

Good guys and bad
keep files close to them.

What are in these files?

It's Intel. Insurance. Protection.
For times like this.

Maybe I should go to Byron Delaney's house
and see what I can find.

Take Prentiss with you.
She might have some insight.

No one's getting back to you?

I only have a couple of contacts,
but they'll get back to me.

What, are we being followed, 007?

No, but you should
go through the city.

66 is gonna be miserable right now.

We'll get there.

Oh, before Doyle
takes somebody else out?

He's shooting up federal agents.
What's he gonna do next?

What would you like me to do?

Get creative with your driving.

I'm working on it, Prentiss.

Hey. Thanks for getting back.
I need some Intel on lan Doyle.

Are you alone?

Not at all. Anything you can spare.

Are your team in danger?

Absolutely. You should
start with our victims...

Ron Cosenza, Kerry Fagan,
Byron Delaney.

See if they connect
to Doyle in any way.

I'll send you a document.

- I'll be waiting for it. Thanks.
- They got something?

I don't know. We'll see.

You know, Emily,
you really need to trust people.

- I trust people.
- No, you don't.

You don't because you can't.

And I get it. Every time
you tried to count on someone,

they'd let you down,
so you go it alone.

You'll never admit that because
you're just too damn stubborn.

It's all right.
It doesn't really matter.

But I'll tell you what does matter...

that you can trust me, Emily.

With anything.

I'm serious. No matter
how awful you think it is,

I promise you, you are not alone.

I just wish you'd believe that.

I do.

You profile me again,
you'll wish you hadn't.

The more players we get on this board,
the sooner Erin will get her nose in it.

Strauss already knows.

I'm surprised she wasn't in the SCIF.

She's on vacation.

Oh, great. Now she'll never
take another one.

Is everything about this guy classified?

Somebody knows him.

We just haven't found them yet.

There's a safe in the bedroom.

Behind a big painting?

Yeah, it's not gonna be in there.

It's gonna be somewhere
where he can sit

and still gain access to it.

And he's gotta be quick.

Get outta here.

That's Dreyer.

Kerry Fagan, Ron Cosenza.

Delaney's not in it.
Why would he have that picture?

Maybe he was their handler.

Here's the million-dollar question.

Anyone know what language that is?

Those are villages in North Korea.

I love you.

Of course she does.

There's a political prison
near Haengyong-ni.

Camp 22. Kwan-li-so.

North Korea denies it exists.

You think they took Doyle there?

That would explain
why he's after them.

Even his prison is off the grid.

All we know is that he was never married,
had multiple residences,

and was arrested at his Tuscan villa.

There's paperwork to back that up?

And a list of who was there that day.
There may be photographs.

Reid's looking into that now.

Right. So those people need to be warned
that he's on the warpath.

They have been.
But there's a whole different life he's led,

one that isn't in any file.

Prentiss, did you hear
from your European associates?

I'm waiting for them
to send me a document.

We need it now.

He's locked in this hellhole
for seven years.

How did he get out?

Does it really matter?

Doyle was in Kwan-li-so?

Ah. Well, that was on a need-to-know.

You didn't think I needed to know that?
Are you kidding me?

And what good would that do?

You don't get to decide
what's good for me anymore.

What else aren't you telling me?

That's it.

You said he was in Russia.

No, actually,
Sean McAllister told you that.

Tsia?

Yeah.

Get him off the phone.

What are you gonna do, Em?

Huh? What are you gonna do?
You gonna run away?

Yeah, you're good at that.

Tsia.

Bloody hell.

Okay.

You can't trust him.

You have got to get out
of there right now.

You are safer on your own.

Do you remember Ninth street?
Corelli's. How the door works?

Yeah.

He's still there.

You will be in and out in five minutes.

Got it.

Do not let Clyde follow you.

And, Tsia, be careful.

You, too.

Fine.

Hey, what's that?

Uh, oh, this is the only lead
I have so far.

What about you?
Seaver said you were looking for photos

of, uh, Doyle's Tuscan villa?

I couldn't find any stills
from the day he was arrested,

but there may be some surveillance footage
from the sedans.

- They generally record everything.
- Yeah?

You get a document
from your contacts?

Bank accounts traceable
to our first two victims.

We might be able to match
the rest of those faces.

Good.

What else have you found?

Okay, look in the peephole.

My mother made it.

Christmas.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, thank you.

That journalist is eating out of my hand.

He had no idea I was promising him
a full-fledged manhunt.

It's way more than that.
I've counted reps from five agencies.

Oh, I love me
and multi-agency taskforcing,

And on our turf. It gets my blood up.

When are we going to get started?

Oh, he's drawing up the battle plan
with the troops.

What's holding us up?

We're waiting for somebody
from D.C. Metro Police, then we can start.

Who's got updates on roadblocks?

They will. All parkways and interstates
in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia

have station checkpoints.

Doyle has the means to get
in and out of the country.

What makes you think
he won't get out of the district?

It's the best we've got right now.

Metro got held up.
Double homicide on K and Ninth.

They want me to take a look.

Doyle?

Vic's apartment looks like
a black market forgery.

The other victim?

A woman, 30s, no I.D., outside his door.

- I'm coming with you.
- Go.

Hey. You sure you want to leave?

We're only passing through.

But she's the one.

You just gonna leave her?

Think she'll follow us?

Me. She'll follow me.

Why?

Because she must.

This guy took two in the chest.

He went quickly.

One straight to the forehead.

The holes were made by a.45.

So she comes to the door,

and he shoots her.

She didn't stand a chance.

This has to be the work of our guy.

She might be on our list.
We should run her prints.

I need some air.

What did you do,
pull a Whiskey Pete's?

Uh, I don't know what that means,

but if it involves
getting vomit on your boots,

then, yeah, I'm guilty.

You need a soda? What can I do?

I live 10 minutes from here.
Can we just swing by?

'Cause I think I got it on my pants, too.

Hotch wants us to get back.

I know. I'll be really quick, I promise.

Okay.

It'd be so easy
to take her out here and now.

She hasn't confessed yet.

All roads coming and going are blocked.

If we don't make it out of here,
she wins again.

Have a little faith.

It's not often
that we know a subject's name,

and in this case,
knowing lan Doyle's identity

doesn't give us very much.

He's known to a select few,
and those who know him well

either work beside him
or they're on his list.

Two or three of his victims
worked for CWS

and were responsible
for his transport to North Korea.

There were seven operatives
on the mission all together,

and the remaining five
have been warned.

All the federal
and international agents

responsible for tracking him down

are now on his list of targets.

We'll find Doyle the way
we find any other offender...

by studying his behavior.

We'll dissect his every move
